Following the example of Porsche, which used its Cayenne SUV to create more stable revenue, Lamborghini wants to add an SUV as a third model in its line-up. At the Beijing International auto show, Lamborghini finally revealed what its SUV will look like.
Lamborghini unveiled the Urus concept in China, a new SUV named after a dead cow.
(Credit: Lamborghini)
Using the sharp edges of its current design language, the Urus concept presents a very unique look for a vehicle designed to drive off road. Although it's about 16 feet in length, similar to the Cayenne, the Urus concept is only about 5.5 feet high, making it more like a raised sedan.
The concept does not appear to be based on any existing Lamborghini, looking like it would use a front engine design. Lamborghini targets 600 horsepower for the output, but does not specify the engine configuration. That high output suggests an engine possibly sourced from Bentley, a sister company under Volkswagen ownership. Bentley came out with its own attempt at an SUV, the EXP 9 F concept, at the Geneva auto show this year, but it was a critical flop.
Lamborghini also specifies a dual-clutch transmission and all-wheel-drive for the Urus, both technologies already existing in the company's model line-up. The ride height is also adjustable, but the concept appears to get most of its ground clearance from the 24-inch wheels.
Despite the high power output, Lamborghini says that the Urus would get the lowest carbon dioxide emissions in its class due to its lightweight construction. A new material called forged composite helps keep the weight down.
The name, Urus, comes from a prehistoric ancestor to our modern cattle, and maintains Lamborghini's naming convention related to bulls.
Although there is a lot unrealised about the Urus concept, such as the engine, and many concept touches, such as cameras instead of side view mirrors, Lamborghini is very likely to bring some version of this vehicle to market. A two-car model line-up consisting of exotic sport cars leads to very shaky revenue. An SUV, which Lamborghini says would be a car "for everyday use, for the family, for leisure pursuits with friends" gives customers of the brand, who probably already own an SUV from another brand, a new option.
Let us know what you think of how the Urus looks in the comments section below.

Broken seal packaging
Just got my Nexus 10 in today and noticed one of the two seals is broken and the other is about to rip. Everything is in the box that I could see, but not sure if the tablet itself had not been tampered or swapped out. Called Google and they said I could either send it back for a replacement or get a refund. They believe the box hasn't been tampered with and have received others calls with the same issue.
This is disappointing for my very first Google Nexus purchase and a big hassle to get it shipped back and wait for a replacement.
What do you guys think, should I keep it or replace it? I turned it on and everything seems ok so far.
Anyone else have this issue with the broken seals? Other forums are reporting this as well, seems like it's not an isolated case. - 12-04-2012, 04:54 PM #2
Re: Broken seal packaging
As long as your Nexus functions fine and/or the condition it's in is satisfactory to you, you should just keep it. Although I admit, I would be a bit concerned myself if I were in such situation.

Broken seal packaging
If the battery was at 60% ish then it was still in its standby mode of a new lithium ion battery meaning it had never been turned on. That's where my battery was with a perfectly sealed box.
The battery will stay there for extended periods of time if the device isn't sold immediately. Once it's used the battery will naturally drain even if the device is off. This is very important because once a lithion battery gets to 0 vdc you'll never get the full life of it, sometimes it will completely fail.
You'll see this a lot with devices you leave on a shelf for a long time. Usually the battery won't last more the minutes. Sometimes they overheat and swell up and even but more more rarely leak or even explode. - 12-04-2012, 06:31 PM Thread Author #6

Re: Broken seal packaging
Just quick update: I emailed Google support regarding the broken seals and this was their reply:
" Thank you for contacting Google Play! The reason some seals are broken is because some customers selected the option to have their devices come already synced with their Gmail account. Someone at the warehouse had to put the information in manually."
I don't know if this is true but I did choose the option to sync my Gmail account with the N10. The thing I don't understand is why do they have to open the box and enter it manually. Anyone else choose the sync option and have their seals broken when the box arrives? - 12-05-2012, 03:45 AM #9
Re: Broken seal packaging
I also just received a N10 yesterday and had the same issue as you - both seals on the box were broken. I did wonder whether it could have been because I'd selected the option to have it ready-synced but the guy I spoke to from Google on the phone last night didn't seem to know anything about that option. I don't understand why they wouldn't replace the seals in the warehouse if that's the reason? They said I could send it back for a replacement but I don't know if I want the hassle! He also said if I was concerned that someone might have installed anything malicious then I could do a factory data reset on it.
But if Google support have put in writing that it was because of having it ready-synced then I guess you are safe enough. I might write to them myself to get reassurance... It's my first Android product so not the greatest first impression unfortunately. - 12-05-2012, 02:54 PM #10
Re: Broken seal packaging
Same thing happened to me. I called the support number. I got the same explination.
It makes sense to me. These are manufactured elsewere. Then shipped to a Google storage warehouse. In order to have the device presynched they would have to power on the device. Can't do that without opening the box.I think your skills are improving.

Re: Broken seal packaging
What is the benefit of having it synced already to your google account? Is it that really hard to do at home?
Makes sense though that the seals would be broken if you chose that option. Someone had to take it out, power it up and add your own account. Kind of scary that some dude in a warehouse can have access to your personal google info though......just saying.
I think I'll choose to have mone not synced. It will be interesting to see of the seals are broken in retail units. - 12-06-2012, 11:58 AM #12
Re: Broken seal packaging
I don't claim to know how they did it. I still had to input my Password. It still needed to download my GMail ETC. So I believe all it did was preinstall all my apps so I could have had it ready to go out of the box [worked late that night so I just let it charge til the morning]. I imagine they could do this without giving someone access to your account
I think your skills are improving.

Re: Broken seal packaging
if that's really the explanation, that's pretty poor and is a great indication that google has a loooong way to go as an end user retailer of ce product. amazon syncs all of the kindles to the recipient's account BEFORE sealing them up in the packaging...i don't know how they do it logistically, but they are selling a hell of a lot more than google , yet they figured it out. and not recently either, they've been doing this since the first kindle shipped...

Re: Broken seal packaging
On the purchase page there is a little checkbox to have your Google account pre-set on your tablet and is set to do so by default. Is that by chance why these seals are being broken? I mean, they would have to open the thing to input your information. Just a suggestion, buying one in about 3 weeks and would like to know if this is the possible explanation.
Failed to read the previous posts....lol. But yeah....they can't just "wish" your account onto the thing through the cardboard....;p - 01-14-2013, 03:57 AM #17
Re: Broken seal packaging
I did not ask anyone to "sync" my N10, and a seal was broken and the other almost. You could get it out. But since I paid $500 for a NEW device, I sent it back. Took a couple of days to get the replacement, but I feel better about it, just in case if I have future issue, as at least I know no one else (at Google or where ever) messed with it.
Re: Broken seal packaging
I would have too, although IIRC that option to sync your account may have been the default, as I think I had to un-check that option (maybe not).
I don't really see the advantage of having them do that, but you know there are some people out there really expect their technology to just "work" without having to do anything. - 01-14-2013, 01:35 PM #20
Re: Broken seal packaging
Mine arrived with 1 broken seal on one side and a half broken seal on the other. I didn't ask for my account to be be pre-sync'd or whatever, and it wasn't. It wasn't even me who purchased it as it was a gift from my mom. You could get it open with 1 broken seal, but everything looked intact and was clean, no finger prints, etc. It was a replacement for a N10 that was damaged during shipping and I had already waited way too long for a N10 so I didn't send it back. So far it has been fine.
Re: Broken seal packaging
My Nexus 10 also had 1 seal broken and the other intact. I bought it from the local Walmart and I don't believe it had been tampered with. Everything was there and nothing appeared to be out of place or opened. No problems so far and it is working fine. I am wondering if somehow the boxes are flexing during shipment and causing this.
Re: Broken seal packaging
Well, if your mom purchased it, how do you know the account sync option wasn't applied? I guess the fact that it wasn't already synced is good indicator...but just sayin'
I can say when I ordered mine I definitely did NOT choose the option to pre-load my account, and when it arrived last weekend, both tamper seals were intact, for what it's worth.
It would make sense that's what could be cause of it, but it's strange that there's more than a few folks here who had the seals broken who didn't opt for the account pre-load option. My only guess, assuming Google's explanation is correct, is that they got some over-ambitious folks running working at the distribution center that are assuming the device needs to be pre-loaded until after they've opened it and then realize that they don't need to and just send it off as is. - 01-15-2013, 07:45 AM #23
Re: Broken seal packaging
Because neither my or her account wasn't synced? I set everything up from scratch when I took it out of the box and powered it on. Nothing was set up for me.
I'm beginning to think the quality of the seals just weren't very high/strong. I remember when I finished opening the 2nd half-opened seal, it was very easy to get through, like a simple nudge would have done it. I think during the process or shipping, or being stacked in a warehouse somewhere, just being jostled around and pushing down on the N10 box might have been enough to break the seals (or half break them for that matter). - 01-15-2013, 07:03 PM #24
Re: Broken seal packaging
My replacement had both seals intact with no signs of stress.
Re: Broken seal packaging
I bought my Nexus 10 from Staples. Both seals were broken and, if I recall correctly, taped over. I bought the last one in stock, so it was either that unit or nothing. If there are that many broken seals out there, I have to assume it is some sort of packaging glitch and probably nothing to worry about.

The town of Christiansburg has signed a $2.5 million contract to buy 60 acres of property.
The new park will be located right off of Route 114, or Peppers Ferry Road, behind the Calmar on North Franklin Street.
Christiansburg Parks and Recreation Director Brad Epperley points to an empty stretch of land, but tells us to imagine the possibilities it holds for the town of Christiansburg.
"It's wonderful, open land, rolling hills, and completely open green spaces," Epperley says.
Most of the 60 acres will be used as a 'recreational hub' for playing fields and picnic shelters. Epperley says the addition of the park space is crucial to the overall growth of Christiansburg.
"A park location of this magnitude will be great for all the citizens. Ultimately, our goal is to make this the recreational centerpiece in this part of town," Epperley says.
Not only are the town's leaders excited about purchasing this piece of land, but the people who live around here say it's going to change their lives for the better.
"I think Christiansburg having an opportunity to improve family life in the area is great," Christiansburg resident Alan Lattimer says.
Lattimer lives within walking distance of the land. He says his family is excited to have a future park so close by.
"It's fantastic. We are seeing a migration in population from Blacksburg over to Christiansburg," Lattimer says, "in large part because Christiansburg is becoming a more family-friendly environment. I think it's a sign the area is growing and we are trying to support that growth."
The idea is to be able to connect residential areas, like where Lattimer lives, to the new land and to the Huckleberry Trail.
The money for the project came from reserve funds. Epperley says purchasing the property is just the beginning and it will take a few years to map out all the details.

Diamon-Fusion nano-coating chemically bonds with glass to form an ultra-thin protective nano-film that when applied by the trained professionals at Euroview makes the surface significantly easier to clean and more resistant to weathering. The bond created during this process is a covalent bond, which means the coating shares electrons with the glass itself, thus becoming part of the glass! These covalent bonds are 10-times stronger than hydrogen-bridge bonds, which are found in almost all other water repellant coatings.
Glass Isn't The Only Thing That Diamon-Fusion Protects!
Diamon-Fusion's patented technology improves and protects the surface of glass, ceramic tile, porcelain, granite and most silica-based surfaces.
Euroview can apply Diamon-Fusion® to surfaces in your home, business or office. If the surface has already been stained, Restoration will be required prior to the Diamon-Fusion® treatment in order achieve the long-lasting bond for which Diamon-Fusion® is famous.

The city came together Saturday to mark the ninth anniversary of the September 11th attacks, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg and Vice President Joe Biden joined other dignitaries and New Yorkers to honor the victims at a memorial ceremony near the World Trade Center site.
On a sunny day that resembled the fateful day of the terrorist attacks, family members and workers who are building the September 11th Memorial and Museum gathered at the city's official memorial ceremony in Zuccotti Park, to read aloud the names of the thousands who died in the Twin Towers. "I love you, and if love could have saved all of these people, then everybody would live forever," said a family member after reading a portion of the names.
The workers' participation underlined how far rebuilding efforts have come at the World Trade Center site in the past year.
Vice President Joe Biden, Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Governor David Paterson, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, former Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and former Governor George Pataki were among the dignitaries who incorporated inspirational poems into their remarks.
"The structure that we raze, time is with materials filled. Our todays and yesterdays are blocks with which we build," said Biden, quoting the poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Moments of silence were held at 8:46 and 9:03 a.m., when the planes hit the towers, and at 9:59 and 10:28 a.m., when each tower fell.
"We have returned to this sacred site to join our hearts together with the names of those we loved and lost. No other public tragedy has cut our city so deeply," said Bloomberg as he introduced the first moment of silence. "No other place is filled with our compassion, our love and our solidarity. It is with the strength of these emotions, as well as the concrete, glass and steel that is brought in day by day, that we will build on the footprints of the past the foundation of the future."
Thousands of family members of victims, many clutching pictures of their departed loved ones, went down to the site of the World Trade Center and left roses on the surface of a pool. Some even considered the site of the attacks to be a graveyard, as so many victims' remains have not yet been recovered.
They told NY1 that the sense of loss still remains fresh after nine years.
"It's still hard, you know? It's like yesterday. You just think about it and all the disaster that's going on, but you just keep them in your heart," said one victim's family member.
"The amount, the depth of the pain is still so evident nine years later. And really, I think it will never change, never change for those of us who have lost loved ones," said another.
"You can't help it, but you stand there and you look up. It's like you have a photographic memory, you know exactly what happened that day," said a third. "You will never forget that."
The mourners also signed the beams that are being installed at the site. The September 11th memorial is expected to be open for next year's anniversary.
Nearby, at St. Paul's Chapel, church officials rang their "Bell of Hope" to remember the attacks' victims as clergy and congregants offered prayers and reflection to honor those killed in the attacks.
The Bell of Hope was rung at 8:46 a.m. in a pattern of "four-fives," or five strikes repeated four times. It is the New York City Fire Department's traditional salute to the fallen.
St. Paul's is called "The Little Church That Stood," because it is directly across from the World Trade Center site and went mostly unscathed by falling debris that day.
The church was a sanctuary for rescue and recovery efforts after the Twin Towers fell, and for eight months afterwards the chapel was home to volunteer relief efforts.
"To come from their very difficult work across the street to be able to eat, rest, have their feet massaged, care for them -- body, soul and spirit," said Anne Mallonee, the vicar of St. Paul's Chapel.
Lower Manhattan's "Tribute In Light" is scheduled to shine from 7 p.m. Saturday until Sunday dawn. Two banks of 88 separate spotlights are used to create two beams over Lower Manhattan, evoking the Twin Towers.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama attended a ceremony at the Pentagon, where 184 people died on September 11th when a hijacked plane hit the building. He called on the nation to treat September 11th as a day of service and remembrance.
Heeding the president's words, many New Yorkers performed volunteer work on Saturday to turn the day's attention on the least fortunate.
Thousands brought a politically-charged atmosphere to Lower Manhattan by participating in rallies both in support and against a the planned Park51 Islamic cultural center, two blocks from the World Trade Center site.
Extra police officers were on hand to keep demonstrators in line.
When asked about the proposed mosque, many families of September 11th victims told NY1 that it is unfortunate that the controversy has intruded on what they want to be a quiet day of remembrance for their loved ones.
Meanwhile, the Florida pastor who canceled a plan to burn Korans on September 11th came to Manhattan to try to meet with Feisal Abdul Rauf, the imam behind the Park51 Center.
Terry Jones arrived at LaGuardia Airport on Friday night and told NBC's "Today" show on Saturday that his church would "not ever" burn a Koran.
Rauf said a meeting is not planned, but he is willing to see anyone who is "seriously committed to pursuing peace."
Protests against the pastor's canceled event took place in Afghanistan Friday and Saturday.

Minnesota Reflections
Madison Tuesday, Oct. 1 — *5~ f-M ,-y cv^VlfOv. S My throat's much better than when I wrote you last evening; not right enough yet for phoning you but I saw a doc this morning — he agreed it was probably from much motoring and put some very nasty stuff up my nose — and he thinks it should be entirely all right in two or three days. I find in my check book that the next check will be % number 2000. I can't let such an eventful check go for some ordinary cause — a boot-mending bill or seven pounds of sauerkraut. And you will be flying out here soon, I hope, and the fare seems to be $91.00 or thereabouts round-trip. So I enclose a check for that and a little more — there will have been other furnishings required by now. Your regular check will come in 10 days, from the Guaranty Trust Co., Fifth Avenue & 44th Street. Go to the American Airlines office — see the phone book for address — and inquire about planes. You'll have to change fimm at Chicago. Apparently there is — aside from a plane leaving CLkv at 5 A.M., God help us •— only one plane a day that stops at Madison, jand that seems to leave Chicago at 1:20 or 1:25 P.M., which means you would leaveX(H*#?@«f*D about 8 AM and be here about three the same afternoon!I|\J But look it up, and when you are about ready to leave, reserve a seat two or three days before. I ought to be all softly settled in my handsome new house in a week and maybe you can come out on, say, Friday the 11th, and stay four-five days or longer. And maybe after you see the theater here, you'll decide to turn university student and I'm going to get a cat, I am, and speaking of that, there is a portrait enclosed as well as my love Hilary in Has Connie ever called you up and taken you to lunch or dinner? If not, I'm sore as hell at him, too.

DARPA Program Attempts to Reinvent Computing
Monday - 8/30/2010, 7:28pm EDT
Increasing the performance of computers has been driven by - what's been dubbed - Moore's Law, the doubling of transistors that can be placed on an integrated circuit every two years. But, gains in performance will be limited by significantly greater power consumption, and programming complexity issues. The DARPA program will work to develop radically new computer architectures and programming models that are 100 to 1,000 times more energy efficient. The program directly addresses major priorities expressed by the President's "Strategy for American Innovation".

Spyder jacket
February 11, 2011
Lives up to all the hype - warm, comfortable, perfect number of pockets. Fits perfectly and kept me warm and dry for three straight days of skiing. Would buy it again and recommend it to all.
Pros: Build quality, Lasts foreverNice Jacket
January 14, 2011
My wife bought this for me for my birthday, and I told her I didnt need a new coat, mine that i had for 5 years was just fine. Well putting this on you can def see the difference in a great quality jacket. It is narrow in the shoulders, but fits fine on me, and is really warm. Has all the special things a ski jacket can have (gussets, arm zips etc) and it looks good on the slopes.
March 16, 2012
Purchased this product few weeks ago and so far I'm thrilled with the deal and the quality. This is the ski gear that everyone needs it if you're crazy about the sport and would like to stand out.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Great value, Cons: CostGood purchase but the price is too high
January 13, 2011
Great coat but runs little small and the price is little high also altrec is a great company my jacket was ship the same day I order
Super Jacket
April 08, 2011
Fully adjustable for all skiing conditions. Roomy to accomadate layering up when conditions warant. Excellent value for the money! This is a jacket you will want to wear every time you ski.
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of use, Great value2009 Leader Jacket
October 25, 2009
This jacket is outstanding. It fits superbly and provides a tremendous amount of flexibility as well as warmth. The pockets are easily accessed and there is ample storage for glasses, keys, goggles, etc. I highly recommend this jacket for the avid skier.
the tops
December 19, 2009
I have owned every high end jacket you an imagine...This spyder leader beats them all. I skied today, first time of the season blizzard -10 F.. I was toasty dry, The best part is this jacket has the warmth of a big down coat with the flexibiiity of a shell
Awesome Jacket
April 07, 2012
This is a great jacket!!! I have skied in numerous "mountain" jackets in the past and this one is by far superior. I usually ski in a base layer, t-shirt and a sweat shirt depending on the temperature. I know leave the sweat shirt at home and open the vents. All the pockets are well placed and plentiful. Great jacket, well worth the purchase!
Pros: Great design, Build quality, Performance, Ease of useGreat Jacket, warm, very well made.
October 13, 2009
With the purchase of this jacket I now own 3 Spyder Jackets I am never let down by the quality, design, functionality and look of these jackets. They are very warm and built to take the rigors of winter weather. I highly recommend Spyder Jackets.
Great fit, perfect pockets, warm
January 18, 2009
This is my third Spyder jacket and it meets all expectations. The size is true, the fit is excellent and the workmanship is excellent. The arrangement of pockets (especially the back pocket that stowes the hood and neck warmer when not needed) is ideal. I can carry my camera on the right chest, cell phone on the left chest (both with quick access), sunglasses inside right and still have two pockets for sunblock and other junk I need. This still leaves a few pockets for season pass, trail maps, etc. The jacket is very warm for its weight and does not hamper movement even in bumps or trees. I highly recommend the jacket.
Top Quality all around
February 24, 2011
This is the warmest jacket I have ever owned! I skied wearing this jacket several times this week. The base temp. was in the single digits and wind chill below zero. I only wore one layer underneath. After the first run, I had to open the vents! I was comfortable all day long. The large inner mesh pcket was a plus when going into the lodge for lunch as it easily stored my hat. I purchased a Large size. I am 5 ft 11 in and 200 lbs. The fit was bigger than I had anticipated and could have easily fit several layers underneath if necessary. The length is longer than some traditional jackets which could be beneficial in deep powder conditions. I reccomend this jacket to all who want to actually get what they pay for.
Pros: Great design, Build qualitySpyder Leader
February 23, 2013
I'm almost 6'1" with a 43 inch chest. Large size is a bit snug - another inch in the chest would help, but I suspect XL would be too big. Wore this jacket on a cold 15 degree day with winds at about 15 mph. Had four layers underneath and was still a bit cold. Wore the following day @ 30 degrees and partially sunny, with three layers underneath. Warmth was just ok. Workmanship and design are very good. Zipper in front snags a bit in places. Collar is a bit short in the back, exposing my neck when not using hood. Hood just about fits over my helmet, and could be two inches longer in front with helmet on; w/o helmet, hood is fine. Sleeves are very well designed with bend at the elbows. Key holder and loops in pockets are a nice add on. On sale, this was a good value, not great.
Pros: Build quality, good design, Cons: warmth overratedGreat Jacket, tried many finally found one!
January 23, 2010
This is the jacket to get to keep out the weather when it's cold!! I have tried MANY jackets, returning them to Altrec (great way to do business Altrec, love you guys!) and have finally found the jacket for me. We go to Utah during Christmas and it's always in the single digits and with the wind chill below 0'. Great snow though!! Pow for days! This year it was great just because of this jacket, I was warm. I'm 5'8" 190 stocky and the large fit's me great. Perfect fit, good construction, the pockets are great. As described in other reviews, the varied pockets work well for all your needs. Camera, cell phone, pass, trail maps, sunglasses/goggles, sunblock, wallet, keys, it works! Front zipper works well when it cold and easy to zip. Neck feels good and I am able to zip all the way. Makes me wonder what's in the Kitzbuhel that makes it that much more. Hood works well over everything with goggles on top. I did not wear a helmet, maybe next time. The only thing, prior to going out; look at the draw string on the hood to figure out how to tighten it up. It's a different design and when you can't see it and when your out in the cold, it can be difficult. However, this is the jacket for me and maybe you! Definitely 5 stars.
Great Jacket
January 06, 2011
All I can say is its a great jacket. Absolutely amazing. So far I've worn it in both the warm and the cold and the wet and dry. It just doesn't give up. I ski every winter and this year I decided to learn to snow board. The jacket has stood up to that too. It is very durable and did not rip or snag at all. Also the week I went this year started at about 20 degrees and very windy. I didn't even know the wind was blowing and I was comfortably cool, a plus because being warm or hot makes you sweat and later freeze. Later in the week it warmed up to 40 and rained on the last day of the trip. I didn't get wet at all. and the pit vents stayed open the whole time while I had just a tee shirt on. I was very comfortable right up until nightfall when it cooled off and just zip the pit vents and I was fine. The only problem I had with the coat is that I am a tall person so good jackets that fit well are hard to find. I am 6'3 and have long arms. Even though I am only 160lbs I ordered an XL for the sleeve length. I probably could have gotten away with a large. It is baggy but in the rare event that I need the extra layers (-20 with the way this coat is) it will be a good fit. Everything is good about the coat. Its has durable wrist gators. The snow skirt is a little large for me but if I adjust it right it works well. The jacket is not at all stiff. It withstood the first 3 days of learning to snowboard and continues to perform with the morning commute to work which is getting quite cold. It may be a bit expensive but you are definitely getting what you pay for.
Outstanding jacket for diverse conditions
December 04, 2010
It took a long time to give up my Obermeyer but this jacket has the goods. I am 6' 200lbs and tend to overheat on the steeps and freeze on the lift. It was time to take advantage of the improvements in materials. The fit is perfect, not bulky, but leaves enough room for base layers. My comfort level stayed the same in 20 degress outside and I wasn't ripping off the jacket after going inside like usual. The 20k breathability and stretch flexibility is incredible for a jacket with this amount of warmth. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Rosensweig named chief of Chegg
Dan Rosensweig, a high-profile technology executive, is the new president and chief executive of the online textbook rental company Chegg.
The appointment, announced by Chegg co-founder Osman Rashid on Tuesday, becomes effective immediately. Rosensweig finds himself in a crowded business segment, with Chegg squaring off against its chief rival, BookRenter.com, as well as megasize book retailers such as Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com and smaller local booksellers.
But helped by penny-pinching concerns born of a bracing recession, students increasingly view textbook rental as an attractive alternative to purchasing their books outright. The service operates on a time clock. … Read more

Sonne's Natural Source Vitamin C No 17 -- 120 Tablets
Okay, I know it's silly to LOVE a Vitamin C, but I've ACQUIRED a taste for these. Despite the sweeteners, these are still quite tart and bitter, but in an all-natural tasting way. I like that none of the ingredients are synthesized. I take one of these after meals along with some digestive enzymes (which add additional sweetness). I'm very pleased with Sonne's clay and powder cleansers as well. I'm certain they've made my tummy flatter.

Simply the best vitamin C supplement.

I'm just flabbergasted and shocked about this whole situation. Where did Ohio State come from? Alabama has been recruiting him heavily for a year. I figured they would be the ones to beat. I don't think OSU showed up until around December, if I remember correctly. Then all of a sudden Bama falls out of the picture and it's us and Ohio State? Kid grew up a Vol, so you figure we'd have the edge. Then picks Ohio State.
I'm learning a stark lesson about recruiting insanity today.

You can thank Dooley for that. The old staff really screwed this class up. Bell would not even had visited us again if Dooley was never fired. The end of the day Dooley dug us a hole in this class we couldn't recover from. The top of that list is probably Vonn Bell. It really made me sick seeing Dooley talk about recruiting on ESPNU, he talked some about Bell and Ohio State really closing the deal...no Dools he was ours to lose at the start of his recruitment and you screwed it up!!!! I supported that sorry joke of a coach until the State game.... Hammy & Dools really drove this program into the ground!

Arvind Mahankali from Queens has won the 2013 Scripps National Spelling Bee!
The 13-year-old was the favorite coming in, and he did not disappoint.
The winning word was "knaidel" — a German-derived word.
It's ironic because Arvind was knocked out by German words in each of the last two years, and finished third both times.
He's a low-key guy, and his celebration was appropriately subdued:
Here's the video of the final word:
Grace Remmer — a 14 year old from Florida — was the dark horse pick to win. She finished a respectable 9th.
A number of past winners have gone on to successful careers. Hopefully Arvind joins that list eventually.
Check out a gallery of past winners here >
You can find out full live-blog with GIFs and other fun stuff below. It was a heck of a night, thanks everyone for reading.
1:43 PM The favorite is probably this 13-year-old named Arvind Mahankali. He's from Queens and he came in third last year
2:05 PM OUCH, Christopher O'Connor spells PULTACEOUS wrong. We're down to 41
2:10 PM The ESPN commentator confirms Arvind and Grace Remmer are the favorites
2:12 PM There was a weird Hunger Games-style intro to start the broadcast, we're grabbing video really quick
2:13 PM "Kleptocrat" was a word, seems a bit easy

The topic on Tuesday will be education, and there will be a number of presentations, including one by Charles Ledbetter, a retired history professor at West Virginia State University. Ledbetter wrote a history of how West Virginia State College (which became WVSU) played a role as a predecessor to the famous Tuskegee Airmen of World War II.
Ledbetter wrote that in 1939 WVSC was the first of six historically black colleges to establish an aeronautics program, predating the Tuskegee Institute and others.
WVSC was selected in part because it was next to Charleston's municipal airport at the time, Wertz Field.
In 1942, Union Carbide bought land near WVSC to build a chemical plant, and the city closed Wertz Field and moved the airport.
That summer, the federal government canceled pilot training programs at all six historically black colleges and consolidated all those programs at Tuskegee Air Field in Alabama.
English said the state Division of Culture and History, which is planning the Sesquicentennial, has been very supportive of the supplemental events and he hopes that the events will have a lasting impact.
"In a state where we have 3.5 percent African-Americans, it is easy to be in a situation of marginal visibility. We've seen that happen over and over again as groups convene that affect our lives politically, educationally, culturally," English said. "This is another way of establishing that presence that hopefully will have a longer term effect."

Single molecule nanomanipulation of biomolecules
Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 19, Issue 6, 1 June 2001, Pages 211-216
Yoshiharu Ishii, Akihiko Ishijima and Toshio Yanagida
AbstractThe development of nanomanipulation techniques has given investigators the ability to manipulate single biomolecules and to record mechanical events of biomolecules at the single molecule level. The techniques were developed to elucidate the mechanism of molecular motors. We can directly monitor the unitary process of the mechanical work and the energy conversion processes by combining these techniques with the single molecule imaging techniques. Our results strongly suggest that the sliding movement of the actomyosin motor is driven by Brownian movement. Other groups have reported data that are more consistent with the lever arm model. These methods and imaging techniques enable us to monitor the behavior of biomolecules at work and will be applied to other molecular machines.

Real-Time Detection of Single-Molecule DNA Compaction by Condensin I
Current Biology, Volume 14, Issue 10, 25 May 2004, Pages 874-880
Terence R Strick, Tatsuhiko Kawaguchi and Tatsuya Hirano
SummaryBackground: Condensin is thought to contribute to large-scale DNA compaction during mitotic chromosome assembly. It remains unknown, however, how the complex reconfigures DNA structure at a mechanistic level.Results: We have performed single-molecule DNA nanomanipulation experiments to directly measure in real-time DNA compaction by the Xenopus laevis condensin I complex. Condensin can bind to the nanomanipulated DNA in the absence of ATP, but it compacts the DNA only in the presence of hydrolyzable ATP. Linear compaction is evidenced by a reduction in the end-to-end extension of nanomanipulated DNA. The reaction results in total compaction of the DNA (i.e., zero end-to-end extension). Discrete and reversible DNA compaction events are observed in the presence of competitor DNA when the DNA is subjected to weak stretching forces (F = 0.4 picoNewton [pN]). The distribution of step sizes is broad and displays a peak at ∼60 nm (∼180 bp) as well as a long tail. This distribution is essentially unaffected by the topological state of the DNA substrate. Increasing the force to F = 10 pN drives the system toward step-wise reversal of compaction. The distribution of step sizes observed upon disruption of condensin-DNA interactions displays a sharp peak at ∼30 nm (∼90 bp) as well as a long tail stretching out to hundreds of nanometers.Conclusions: The DNA nanomanipulation assay allows us to demonstrate for the first time that condensin physically compacts DNA in an ATP-hydrolysis-dependent manner. Our results suggest that the condensin complex may induce DNA compaction by dynamically and reversibly introducing loops along the DNA.

In recent years, the rapid development and progress of single-molecule detection techniques have opened up a new era of biological research. The advantage of single-molecule studies is that data are not obscured by the ensemble-averaged measurements inherent in classical biochemical experiments. These techniques are shedding light on the dynamic and mechanistic properties of molecular machines, both in vivo and in vitro. This review summarizes the single-molecule experiments that have been designed to investigate molecular motors, enzyme reactions, protein dynamics, DNA transcription and cell signaling.

Commercial Installations of FPE Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok® Electrical Panel & Circuit Breaker - potential fire & other safety hazards: here we explain the possible fire and shock hazards associated with business or commercial installations of Federal Pacific Electric Stab-Lok® circuit breakers and service panels. We include commercial-grade or commercially-installed Federal Pacific Electic & Federal Electric panels & circuit breaker photos. The current status of FPE Stab-Lok®equipment hazards, recalls, product safety research, and consumer warnings can be found in companion articles at this website. Page top photo courtesy of Raleigh home inspector Steve Smallman. Replacement FPE Stab-Lok® circuit breakers are unlikely to reduce the failure risk of this equipment. We recommend that FPE Stab-Lok® electrical panels be replaced entirely or the entire panel bus assembly be replaced, regardless of FPE model number or FPE year of manufacture. We do not sell circuit breakers nor any other products. Green links show where you are. © Copyright 2014 InspectApedia.com, All Rights Reserved.

And if we could confirm that these products use a different bus and breaker design from the Stab-Lok series, indeed that would leave the safety question at least more open.
In our Federal Electric panel photo below, this commecial (3-phase) Federal Electric® panel uses an open-slot circuit breaker bus, as you can see in our photo. The label omits not only the term "Stab Lok" but also Federal Pacific Electric® is not used, just Federal Electric. Taking a look at the circuit breakers that were installed in Federal Electric panels, their labels as well as their physical design confirmed that this too was a Stab-Lok® design.
Commercial Canadian FPE Stab-Lok® panels and Federal Pacific or Federal Pioneer Circuit BreakersPlease see CANADIAN VERSIONS for the full version of this article. In May 1999 we learned from Schneider Canada that Federal pioneer circuit breakers sold by that company are re-named from Federal Pacific circuit breakers and that two 15-amp single-pole models NC015 and NC015CP made between August 1, 1996 and June 11, 1997 have been recalled. The Schneider and Federal Pioneer as well as some Square-D recall notices are available here. We asked the company engineer with whom we spoke if he could determine if Federal Pioneer and Federal Pacific components sold in Canada were made in the U.S. or if tooling used to produce them was identical with that used in the U.S. If this is the case (as one might expect based on economies of production) one should consider the possibility that other defects reported in the U.S. may also appear in Canadian installations. The Federal Pioneer Warranty Alert was issued by the Ontario New Home Warranty program in October 1997 and provides for circuit breaker replacement. Schneider Canada is an electrical supplier whose product lines combine those previously marketed under the names Federal Pacific Electric, Federal Pioneer, Square-D, Tele Mechanique, Modicon, and Merlin Gerin. Carl Grasso, an attorney who researched FPE failures for the New Jersey class action suit explains that since a portion of the safety defect with FPE breakers may be due to variations during manufacture, and since Canadian breakers may be manufactured in a different plant from those made in the U.S., it is possible that the field performance of Canadian breakers may be different than the U.S. design. Schneider Canada, the Federal Pioneer parent company, has not provided information regarding design or manufacture changes over the U.S. design, nor provided test data regarding the product. As of May 2008 we have had a few reports of failures in the Canadian Federal Pioneer (Stab-Lok® ) equipment and also reports of failures of "replacement" FPE circuit breakers installed in U.S. panels. Having inspected some Canadian FPE (Federal Pioneer-brand) electric panels, we observed two ongoing concerns: 1.) the same bus design was used as in the U.S. equipment. I've seen very poor retention of breakers in the bus - in one house the breaker was held in place by duct tape, as the spring design in the contact of the breaker where it plugs into the special opening in the bus appears not to have held the breaker in place. We have also seen breakers modified with their inserting pins bent and modified to fit a breaker into a slot where it did not belong - a step that is impossible with other breaker designs. 2.) A similar or identical panel design may expose consumers to panel arcing and fires regardless of changes in the breakers themselves. For people who are unable to promptly replace an FPE Stab-Lok® electrical panel we recommend that you should be sure you have working smoke detectors properly installed and at least you will be able to sleep at night.

i just purchased the APC New Cure in 29. Tried them on, however my thighs are large so the crutch was lower, sat on my hips, and i couldn't do any of the buttons.
Does that mean give up and buy a larger size?
if u cant button then yes

Life-Flo Maximum Hydration Body Lotion -- 19 fl oz
Natural and non-toxic
I really like this cream, and even use it on my face. I especially like that it doesn't have any parabens (which can actually cause more wrinkles). I have chemical sensitivity, and find the scent "fresh" and not irritating at all. Also, the scent is not long lasting, and quickly dissapates.
January 13, 2011
It works--it really does!
I've been using this product for 7-8 years. Of course! I've tried many others also. Always go back to this one. It just works for me. The scent? Its stronger than most woman would like. Thats strictly a personal opinion. It does't feel greasy nor slimy after I apply it. Once a day keeps the dry skin away.
Try it, you might like it....

Awful scent and texture
I had high hopes for this lotion, but the smell is intolerable. I can usually deal with a bad smell if I know it will be good for my skin, but not this one! Also, it seems to have tiny beads or something in it. Maybe it settled during shipment or has been on the shelf too long???
