General Motors Recall Update: 303 Deaths due to Failed Airbags
In 2001, General Motors (GM) engineers noticed the ignition switch would wander from "run" to "off" during the production development of the Saturn Ion. In 2003, another report stated too many keys weighing down the key chain caused the ignition switch to become worn out. Again, in 2004, GM ran into the same problems while test driving the Chevy Cobalt, but never issued a recall.
On February 7th 2014, General Motors finally issued a recall of two of their models, the Chevy Cobalt and the Pontiac G5. The recall was due to faulty ignition switches. The defected ignition switch would slide from "run" to "off" while the vehicle was moving. GM initially reported 12 deaths which were linked to the faulty ignition switch. Then on Febuary 25th, GM added 748,024 more vehicles to the recall this recall.
Friedman Research, a company that specializes in analyzing vehicle safety data, reviewed accidents in which air bags had failed to deploy, but did not try to evaluate what caused the crashes. The Center for Auto Safety, a private watchdog group, commissioned the study. An investigation discovered the crashes caused 303 deaths due to the failure of the airbags to deploy. The deaths occurred in the two vehicles subject to the recall, the 2005-2007 Chevy Cobalt and the 2003-2007 Saturn Ion.
In March, a criminal investigation against GM was launched by the U.S. Department of Justice. The company is also under investigation by Congress, the FBI, and the Transportation Department. An individual investigation put on by a Congressional Committee is looking into the events over the last 10 years leading up to the recall of over a million GM vehicles. The New York Times reported that there have been nearly 2 complaints every month since 2003 about GM vehicles which stopped or stalled while being operated. On March 28th, General Motors further expanded the ignition switch recall to include 824,000 of the newer models of cars that were previously recalled. For a complete timeline of what General Motors knew before and after the recall click here (See More).

Jury to Roche: You Failed to Properly Warn Physicians of the Risk of Ulcerative Colitis with Acne Drug Accutane; Roche Ordered to Pay $1.59 Million to Former Accutane User, according to Seeger Weiss LLP
Attorneys are satisfied with the outcome of the re-trail for Kamie Kendall Rees as a jury in New Jersey rules in favor of the plaintiff for $1.59 million. Ms. Kendall Rees filed a lawsuit against Hoffman La-Roche Inc. and Roche Laboratories after suffering severe complications from being prescribed Accutane to treat her acne. She began treatment at age 12, undergoing several cycles with the medication but shortly after developed ulcerative colitis, a severe, debilitating disease. UC forced Ms. Kendall Rees' to have life altering surgery to remove her colon in order to manage her condition.
Trial team leaders, Michael Hook (Pensacola, Florida) and David Buchanan (Seeger Weiss, LLP New Jersey/New York), are pleased with the verdict as they believe Ms. Kendall Rees received the justice she deserved. The trial team also included Mary Jane Bass and Jake Lurton of Beggs & Lane LLP, and Bill Cash and Troy Rafferty of Levin Papantonio.
This trial was the seventh New Jersey lawsuit surrounding Accutane to reach a settlement. Like the preceding six trials, Accutane users allege that Roche Laboratories did not provide adequate warning to physicians and therefore the users of the medication. More than 7,000 cases are currently pending in New Jersey and across the country for users that developed gastrointestinal disease post-treatment.
"Though the jury's verdict only formally applies to Kamie," claims Hooks, "it's an extremely positive result for plaintiffs in the remaining approximately 7,000 inflammatory bowel disease cases pending in New Jersey and elsewhere." Positive insight for future trials has many victims rightly hopeful as they pursue justice for their injuries.
Further noted was Roche's apparent negligence to strengthen warnings for Accutane and the associated risks from its market release until 1998. Information was becoming readily available in that time that suggested Accutane was the direct cause for inflammatory bowel disease a related risks.
Mr. Buchanan noted that, "At this point, Accutane's role as a cause of ulcerative colitis is a settled issue. Roche's continued denials in the face of seven juries in New Jersey, and one in Florida, stating otherwise is a continuing insult to the many who have already suffered so much due to this drug."
General Motors Recalls 1.4 million GM Vehicles Due to Ignition Switch Defect
Recent reports allege a link between General Motors (GM) ignition switches to crashes, serious injury and even death. On February 13, 2014, GM recalled over 700,000 Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac vehicles. These models have a malfunction which allegedly cause the key to unintentionally slip from the run position when a car hits a bump or if the keychain is too heavy. This malfunction can cause the engine to shut off along with loss of power in steering, breaks and safety systems.
Later on February 25, GM broadened the recall to include additional Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models. The total number of cars in the recall has reached over one million. The company has urged people not add any key chains to the key until the switches are replaced completely to ensure the ignition will not shut off.
Since then, there have been several lawsuits against GM. The lawsuits claim that the manufacturers at GM knew about the defect in its Chevrolet Cobalt in 2004. GM employees allegedly were told about most of the crashes, but failed to consider them a major problem until this year. GM said it would offer a free loaner car and up to $500 towards a new GM vehicle for those effected by the defect. If the owner of the vehicle is not replacing the car entirely, GM has offered to replace the ignition when new parts arrive on the expected date of April 7th.
Due to an increase in deaths and injuries linked to General Motors, the U.S Attorney's Office in New York has opened a full criminal investigation and claim surrounding the GM ignition switch recall. If you or someone you know was involved in a crash or sustained injuries involving the aforementioned models, please contact us for a free consultation.

American Express v. Italian Colors Ruling
In American Express v. Italian Colors, the Supreme Court last week, in a 5-3 decision, dealt an immense blow to consumer interests. The court's recent ruling is going to lead to serious long term consequences for many individuals who should legally be able to join together and form a class. Writing for the majority opinion, Justice Scalia notes, "Antitrust laws do not guarantee an affordable procedural path to the vindication of every claim." Justice Scalia believes, along with the rest of the majority, that an arbitration clause in the contract trumps the right of a plaintiff to join a class-action suit and seek affordable and meaningful restitution. Typically and often, firms with extensive market power are able to leave consumers with no option but to accept lopsided arbitrations that are impractical and impervious. If a consumer wished to enter litigation against these behemothly large corporations, they would need to spend millions in legal fees only to see monetary rewards numbered in the thousands. The consequence of the decision by her conservative colleagues is excellently explained by Justice Kagan, "So if the arbitration clause is enforceable, Amex has insulated itself from antitrust liability—even if it has in fact violated the law." She goes on to explain, "The monopolist gets to use its monopoly power to insist on a contract effectively depriving its victims of all legal recourse." Now that the court has made it abundantly clear that they are going to unabashedly favor big business, even if it means allowing them to escape the grasps of Antitrust legislation that has been in place for decades, the only place the consumer can turn is to Congress.
A Win for Consumers in Mandatory Arbitration Cases: Recent Decision in Toyota Hybrid Brake Case Refuses to Follow Concepción When a Party is a Nonsignatory
On January 30, 2013, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit affirmed the lower court's decision in the multidistrict Toyota Motor Corp. Hybrid Brake Marketing Sales Practices and Products Liability Litigation, holding that the plaintiffs' consumer fraud claims against Toyota, relating to faulty brakes in 2010 Prius models and 2010 Lexus hybrid HS 250h models, were not subject to arbitration.
Citing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in AT&T Mobility LLC v. Concepcion—which overturned state laws that categorically preclude enforcement of class action waivers in certain arbitration agreements—Toyota moved to compel arbitration with the plaintiff car-buyers, based on an arbitration clause in the purchase agreements with their dealers. Toyota filed the motion only after failing in its effort to obtain dismissal of the plaintiffs' lawsuit on the merits. The district court, however, refused to order arbitration because Toyota was not a signatory to the purchase agreements. In other words, the district court said that the arbitration clause was limited to the plaintiffs and the dealerships, not Toyota.
On appeal, Toyota argued that even though it was a nonsignatory, plaintiffs should nevertheless be compelled to arbitrate their consumer fraud claims because the claims are intertwined with the purchase. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit rejected this "equitable estoppel" argument, agreeing with the plaintiffs that their consumer fraud claims against Toyota, which relate to the faulty brakes in their vehicles, are not intertwined with the purchase agreements with the dealers, which dealt with matters of financing and insurance.
In particular, the Court of Appeals noted that no court would need to examine the purchase agreements in order to resolve the plaintiffs' claims. It also rejected Toyota's argument that a provision in the arbitration clauses required that the issue of whether the claims belong in arbitration be addressed, in the first instance, by an arbitrator rather than the district court, pointing out that Toyota could not rely on that jurisdictional clause because, as a non-signatory to the purchase agreements, it lacked standing to do so. Having rejected Toyota's contention that the plaintiffs' claims are intertwined with the agreements, the Court of Appeals saw no need to address the plaintiffs' alternative argument that, even if their claims were subject to arbitration, Toyota had forfeited any right to seek arbitration by playing a game of "heads-I-win/tails-you-lose" and filing its motion to compel arbitration only after failing in its bid to seek dismissal of the case on the merits.
Toyota marks a significant victory for consumers, especially in cases involving consumer fraud. This decision further signifies that the Supreme Court in Concepcion did not articulate a bright- line rule in deciding cases where mandatory arbitration clauses are in dispute. As we predicted in our previous blog, which examined Concepcion in detail, mandatory arbitration clauses will continue to be a hot-button issue in the courts and hopefully more cases like Toyota will arise giving more protection to consumers.
The case was argued before the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals by Seeger Weiss partner Diogenes P. Kekatos. The court's decision is published at 705 F.3d
How Companies Break the Law and Escape Liability Through Mandatory Arbitration Clauses
Supreme Court decisions are often puzzling. The Court's decision in AT&T Mobility v. Concepción is particularly baffling in the world of consumer rights law. In Concepción, Justice Antonin Scalia held that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA), which favors contractual arbitration clauses, preempts state consumer protection laws. Let's break down exactly what that means…
Concepción in a Nutshell
In Concepción, customers of AT&T brought a class action suit in a California district court alleging that AT&T's offer of a free phone for new cell phone customers was fraudulent because the customers actually had to pay sales tax on the "free"phone. AT&T argued that their cellphone contract with their customers contained a clause that provided for arbitration of all disputes and barred any class action lawsuit. Relying on California state law, however, the District Court found the arbitration clause unconscionable because it did not allow for class wide actions. The 9th circuit agreed, and held that the Federal Arbitration Act, which makes arbitration clauses enforceable, did not preempt the California state law. The case went up to the U.S. Supreme Court on appeal.
In a landmark decision, Justice Scalia, overturned the lower court's decision and held that the FAA preempts California's law regarding the unconscionability of arbitration waivers. Scalia's decision is momentous for two reasons. First, it limits a consumer's rights to take action against a company who breaks the law. Also, Scalia uses Congress's power and decides that the FAA, which clearly favors companies and disadvantages the consumer, trumps the California law which was enacted to protect consumers.
The Alliance for Justice Speaks Out
There are many reasons why arbitration agreements are unconscionable, and that's what makes the Court's decision so troubling. Alliance for Justice does a masterful job highlighting obvious instances where companies have broken the law, but have relied on Conceptión to escape liability by having their arbitration waivers enforced. The complete line of cases can be found here:http://www.afj.org/connect-with-the-issues/the-corporate-court/att-aftermath-stories.pdf.
Why Mandatory Arbitration Clauses Violate Consumers' Rights
- Arbitration clauses are often hidden in fine print and contain confusing language which the average consumer has trouble comprehending.
- Arbitration clauses are judicially inefficient. They require each consumer to go through the process of filling out paperwork and completing the necessary calls while foreclosing all class action proceedings. This process is difficult to comprehend (and time consuming!) for a consumer who has no legal training. Whereas, a class action suit allows for multiple consumers to bring a single action against a company and lets the attorney do the legal grunt work, not the consumer.
- Arbitration clauses allow companies to cheat and win. A company who violates the law and strategically adds an arbitration clause to its contract is allowed to settle disputes with individuals "behind closed doors." But class action suits are public knowledge, and settlements are widely reported in the main stream media. When the public knows companies cheat, companies are more likely to be deterred from continuing to break the law.
- Arbitration clauses create contracts of adhesion which are unreasonable because of the strong bargaining power that large companies possess. These "take it or leave it" deals further weaken the consumer's position at the time of sale.
What Concepción Means for the Future of Class Action Litigation
Mandatory arbitration clauses should continue to be a hot-button issue for the Supreme Court if articles like these continue to be published. There could be hope for the consumer and the future of class action lawsuits, despite the presence of a contractual arbitration clause, due to of the slim 5-4 ruling in Concepción. Perhaps the Court, in the future, might be swayed by Justice Breyer's dissent, where he asks this yet to be answered question:"Where does the majority get its contrary idea—that individual, rather than class, arbitration is a 'fundamental attribut[e]' of arbitration?" Consumers and class action attorneys, alike,hope that the Court will answer this question sooner than later (if at all).
Background Check Errors Prompt Talk of Further Legislation
Companies strive to hire honest employees with strong credentials. In an effort to make informed decisions, employers conduct background checks prior to hiring an employee. These background checks might examine a prospective employee's employment history, driving record, criminal records, and credit report.
Various laws have been enacted to ensure that the employee is protected throughout this process. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) enforces the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), which protects a job applicant's information found in a credit report and ensures that the information is accurate. The extent to which an employer can legally analyze a job applicant's criminal history varies on a state-by-state basis. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which bars employers from using job-screening standards that have a disparate racial impact.
Despite these legal safeguards, job applicants are often treated unfairly during the employment hiring phase. Take, for instance, Green Mountain Coffee Co., who allegedly rejected job applicants after examining unauthorized consumer reports (per FCRA guidelines), which they obtained from a consumer-reporting agency. The Judge agreed to dismiss the suit after the parties resolved the dispute in an undisclosed nature. Another example is Dominoes, who also allegedly violated the FCRA by running employee background reports without proper authorization and by not sharing the reports with applicants and employees before terminating employees or denying job applicants of employment. The case is currently in litigation. LexisNexis agreed to settle their dispute for more than $1.3 million. The company was accused of failing to notify timely thousands of individuals about negative background reports because of a computer glitch. In light of these cases, it is fair to anticipate similar suits being filed in the near future.
When companies violate laws or make errors in the background check process, perfectly eligible candidates are denied jobs. Common mistakes include multiple reports of a single offense, the inclusion of convictions and arrests that were legally expunged, and even the inclusion of another person's criminal offenses. Job applicants can contest any mistake made by employers, but what happens when employers don't even share the information (like the alleged behavior of Dominoes)? Worse, even if a prospective applicant contests the mistake, the appeal process usually takes about thirty days. The position is often filled by the time the appeal process ends, and the candidate is left without a job even if the appeal succeeds.
As stories of companies acting negligently during employment background checks continue to brew, new legislation will continue to pass limiting the employer's access to job applicants' personal information. In May 2012, Vermont became the 8th state to restrict the use of credit reports for employment purposes claiming that the results of a credit report have "no correlation to job performance" and do not provide "meaningful insight into a candidate's character, responsibility, or prospective job performance." Vermont joined California, Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon and Washington to enact such a law. At the federal level, the EEOC is currently investigating the use of credit reports for employment purposes, but has yet to rule on the issue.
Employee Rights When Applying for a Job
It's become clear that legislative bodies are recognizing the risk of error associated with companies conducting employment background checks. Therefore, it is important that you know your rights when applying for a job.
First, the Fair Credit Reporting Act enables you to get a free copy of your credit report through each of three national credit reporting companies: TransUnion, Equifax and Experian. Each company must provide one free copy of your credit report every twelve months. It might be a good idea to have a current copy of your credit report for your reference before applying for a job.
Second, an employer must get your authorize before obtaining any credit information from third parties. You should probably get this authorization in writing.
Finally, if you have unfortunately been denied employment or had your employment terminated because of a failed background check, an employer must provide you with a written report of the information used to make their decision and a document called "A Summary of Your Rights Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act." You should carefully analyze the information used in their decision, and you have the right to contest any information you believe to be erroneous.
Background Check Lawsuits
Unfortunately, not all employers will follow the law when conducting employment background checks, and Green Mountain and Dominoes are only a sample of how companies might be acting negligently when making employment decisions. Sometimes it takes a legal proceeding to hold large companies accountable and provide employees with a voice to speak out against the wrongdoings associated with background check errors. As such, we are sure to see class action lawsuits develop against more companies
Let's See if the Supreme Court Means What it Says
Consumer and plaintiffs lawyers know that there have been a long string of cases where the Supreme Court has enforced arbitration clauses much to the detriment of consumers. In the course of doing that, though, the Court has always said that enforcing arbitration clauses won't cause any harm, because arbitration is a forum where anyone with a valid legal claim can be heard fairly. The Supreme Court has also maintained that arbitration is only acceptable where parties can "effectively vindicate their substantive rights."
In In re American Express Merchants Litigation, we'll learn if the Court actually MEANT any of those promises. This is the most important and most pro-consumer case involving a challenge to an arbitration clause that has come down in several years. In the case, a number of small business merchants brought a class action in court alleging that Amex is violating the Sherman Act with a Tying Arrangement (using its monopoly power over charge cards to force merchants to take all Amex-branded credit cards — and pay higher fees). AmEx moved to force the case into individual arbitration (with no class action possible). The plaintiffs PROVED, with admissible evidence that was never controverted, that it would be impossible for them to pursue their antitrust claims, in court or arbitration, if they had to go forward on an individual basis. It would cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars to prove their cases in each case, even though their claims are typically only worth about $5,000.
But AmEx, backed by the Chamber of Commerce, wants the Court to abandon the "effective vindication" doctrine, or more likely to re-define it in a way that would make it completely meaningless. They want the Supreme Court to enforce AmEx's arbitration clause, and class action ban, even though it means that small business plaintiffs will lose all their substantive rights under the antitrust laws.
We support the efforts of organizations such as Public Justice which filed an amicus brief objecting to AmEx's radical position. The brief explains that if the Court severs the link between arbitration and the opportunity to be heard and obtain justice, then statutes that Congress enacted to protect consumers, small businesses, and workers from more powerful corporations will be gutted. As the brief explains, AmEx's proposal would change the underlying statute from the Federal Arbitration Act to the Federal Corporate Immunity Act, and would rob it of its legitimacy."
The brief may be found here.

Torres, Mets take on Alvarez, Marlins in Game 1
With 21 walks since July 4, Henderson Alvarez has the sixth fewest walks among National League starters with a minimum of 13 starts. The Marlins right-hander has allowed just one home run in 13 starts this season, after yielding 16 in his first 13 with Toronto last season.
In Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader against the Mets at Citi Field, Alvarez will face a squad that's tied for 24th in the league with 122 home runs despite belting two home runs in Friday's series opener.
Mets manager Terry Collins will send Carlos Torres to counter Alvarez, and he hopes his squad can continue hitting balls out of the park for the righty, who turned 33 on Friday.
Collins expressed disappointment in the ability of his younger players to take advantage of their Major League opportunities. Projecting such frustrations, however, differs depending on who is on the receiving end.
"What I say in here, it comes out different in there. I don't do it in a group. I talk to these guys individually. You get more done," Collins said. "If you have to say something that might be maybe felt on the negative side, you don't want to a big group around. I don't do it in a big group. I have less team meetings now than I've ever had. Most of the time when you're having a team meeting, sometimes it's only directed to a one or two guys anyway. I do it more individually. The idea is to try and stay positive. It's still about making adjustments. It's still about execution."
Torres had given the Mets two solid outings since replacing Matt Harvey in the rotation. But in his last start against the Nationals, he allowed six runs on five hits. Four of them were home runs as the right-hander struggled with his command.
Alvarez, meanwhile, is coming off his shortest non-weather affected outing of the season. He was lifted after four innings, allowing all five runs in the fourth inning in a loss to the Braves on Monday.
Miami's Jacob Turner and New York's Carlos Torres take the mound in Game 2.
Matsuzaka had his best start with the Mets in his last outing, yielding one run on three hits with three walks and six strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings against the Indians. Turner, meanwhile, was lined up to pitch Monday at Philadelphia, but because Nathan Eovaldi was scratched from his Thursday start because of a tight back, the rotation was revamped.
"Everybody has had to make the adjustment with Eovaldi being out," manager Mike Redmond said. "Initially, we were trying to get each guy an extra day of rest, and Turner a couple of extra days. But with Eovaldi being out, we had to move them up.
Mets: Wright runs bases, still wants to play this season
David Wright ran the bases at Citi Field again on Friday as he continues to work his way back into the Mets' lineup. While there's only about two weeks left to the season, Wright has been adamant that he will play again in 2013 and will get back into the lineup as soon as he's cleared.
Collins said Wright also worked on going side-to-side on the infield, as well as having to come in from third base on slow ground balls. Wright, who's been on the disabled list since Aug. 3 with a strained right hamstring, also ran the bases on Wednesday.
"He looks great," Collins said. "We're going to advance the effort tomorrow on the bases."
Marlins: Pitching decisions still to be made
As the Marlins play out the rest of the season and look ahead to 2014, the organization believes it has a nice collection of young starters to build around. While they have five regular starters, they all won't necessarily be in the rotation at the beginning of next year because of a possible infusion of youth, because Miami has some Minor League prospects who are close to being big league ready.
Andrew Heaney, for instance, was the team's first-round Draft pick in 2012. The left-hander, who is the club's second-ranked prospect according to MLB.com, finished the season at Double-A Jacksonville, and he will contend for a rotation spot next year.
So will Brian Flynn, the ninth-ranked prospect who is currently in the rotation, Justin Nicolino (ranked third) and Anthony DeSclafani (14th).
Some of the pitchers who have mainly started this season at the big league level may eventually wind up in the bullpen. Believing you can never have too much pitching, the Marlins consider themselves in a favorable position.
"We've seen these guys a lot. The key is what are these guys going to turn into next year?" Redmond said. "Do they carry it over? Do they pitch even better? That's the thing with young pitching, you're always going to have that uncertainty."
Worth noting
• Giancarlo Stanton had his ninth career multi-home run game Friday and third of the season. The slugger now has four homers in his last six games, and 22 on the season.
• Miami is 10-6 against the Mets this season. Wins in the final three games between the two teams this year will give them their second highest winning percentage ever against the Mets (.684). Miami's best season against New York was 2004, when it went 15-4 (.789).

As reported elsewhere for Ubuntu x64 there are multiarch issues and it seems to bork the installation. On both my x64 12.04 LTS and 12.10 it managed to make the touchpad dysfunctional after it updated the drivers. Also it doesn't update to the latest edition of vaapi drivers on both the distros.
Its an excellent idea to begin with as it upgrades LTS distro to the latest video driver without much trickery. Hopefully Intel will sort out the issues and I can get it to work on Ubuntu x64. OTOH oibaf-ppa works swell.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Is Packing Supercharged Hemi Power
Written by on May 20, 2014 For Ford and GM, the all-new 2015 Challenger SRT with Hellcat engine is packin' more then 600 horsepower, and it's here.It's finally here, the new 600-plus horsepower 2015 Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine. The Challenger SRT Hellcat features the most powerful V-8 engine ever produced by Chrysler – the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V-8. "The new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is the ultimate performance muscle car," said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO – Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. "Dodge is the Mainstream Performance brand, and now combined with SRT, we are able to unleash a true GT car with an all-new driver-focused interior and the TorqueFlite eight-speed transmission combined with the most powerful V-8 Chrysler has ever produced. The Challenger Hellcat has been released!"
Power to Spare For 2015, the Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine is propelled by the new supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi. With more than 600 horsepower, it will be the highest of any V-8 engine in Chrysler's history. The all-new V-8 engine can be mated with an upgraded six-speed manual transmission or a beefy, new TorqueFlite eight-speed automatic – the first such gearbox ever offered in the Dodge Challenger SRT's time-honored segment.
The supercharged engine features a forged-steel crankshaft with induction-hardened bearing surfaces. According to Chrysler, the result is a crankshaft so well-engineered, that it can withstand firing pressures of 110 bar (1,595 psi) – the equivalent of five family sedans standing on each piston, every two revolutions. For you race guys, an SFI approval is sure to happen, with its unique, crankshaft damper that has been tested to 13,000 rpm. Inside, high-strength, forged-alloy pistons connect to powder-forged connecting rods with high-load-capacity bushings, and diamond-like-carbon-coated piston pins. The new supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi has aluminum-alloy cylinder heads that are optimized for superior thermal conductivity. And its die-cast aluminum rocker covers are Hemi Orange.
Valet Safe Never worry about letting Junior borrow the car. The 2015 Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine comes standard with two key fobs – one is red, and the other is black. The red key fob is the only key that can unlock the full horsepower of the Hellcat engine, while the black key fob limits the driver to a reduced engine output. When Valet Mode is activated, the following vehicle configurations are enabled: • Engine is remapped to significantly reduce horsepower and torque; limited to 4,000 rpm • Transmission locks out access to first gear and upshifts earlier than normal • Transmission will treat the manual shifter position the same as the drive position • Traction, steering and suspension are set to their "Street" settings • Steering-wheel paddle shifters are disabled • Drive Mode functions are disabled • Electronic Stability Control (ESC) is enabled to Full-on • Launch Control is disabled
Suspended Control Standard wheels on the Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine are new SRT-exclusive "Slingshot" 20 x 9.5-inch, lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with a matte black finish; available on the SRT 392 as part of the SRT Track Pack. New P275/40ZR20 Pirelli P Zero Nero tires (front and rear) provide all-season traction while the newest tire technology from Pirelli includes the class exclusive four-season tire that is Y-Plus rated to handle the extreme speeds. Pirelli P Zero tires are available for three-season performance driving. Optionally available on the Challenger SRT Hellcat are 20 x 9.5-inch, lightweight forged-aluminum wheels with a Brass Monkey/dark bronze finish.
Whoa Now Standard is the largest front-brake package ever offered in an SRT vehicle, featuring all-new 390-mm (15.4-inch) Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers. This upgraded brake package is available on the 392 Hemi SRT model as part of the SRT Track Pack.
Getting the Look Designers and engineers spent a lot more time (35 percent more in fact), time in the wind tunnel, developing the exterior on the Challenger SRT and Challenger SRT Hellcat. Chrysler says that the result is a re-engineered Challenger capable of maximum aerodynamic performance for spirited driving on the road or the race track. Up front, a new fascia design and an all-new vertical-split grille provide an update of its 1971 inspiration. A larger, power-bulge aluminum hood features a dedicated "cold-air" intake – a visual styling cue from the first Viper coupe built in 1996. The hood on the new Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine also includes dual air extractors to ensure effective removal of heat and reduced air turbulence in the engine compartment. The hood is standard in body color, and is available in a Satin Black finish. Another key design element on the Challenger SRT Hellcat is the Air Catcher inlet port, which feeds ram-air directly into the engine air box through the driver-side parking lamp. Finally, The Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine features a larger front splitter designed for optimal down force to minimize lift. Out back, the 2015 Challenger SRT recalls the historic 1971 model's styling with a new split tail-lamp design and rear fascia. A redesigned rear valance helps the 2015 Challenger SRT models look more planted on the ground. A unique, taller rear spoiler on the SRT Hellcat features a raised SRT logo.
High Performance--Inside There is an all-new cockpit with key elements are inspired by the interior of the 1971 Challenger. The all-new instrument panel features a stamped aluminum bezel, and a 7-inch driver-selectable information display (DID) screen is centered in the gauge cluster. The screen is flanked by analog speedometer and tachometer gauges, which give a retro look, reminiscent of the gauges from the 1971 Challenger. For the Challenger SRT with the Hellcat engine, the fixed gauges and digital graphics are finished in a Dark Radar Red tone to make it even more unique.
High Impact is Back Many of the most memorable paint colors in automotive history have been found on the Challenger. The 2015 Challenger SRT 392 and SRT with the Hellcat will be available in 11 exterior colors: B5 Blue Pearl Coat, Billet Silver Metallic Clear Coat, Bright White Clear Coat, Granite Crystal Metallic Pearl Coat, Ivory White Tri-Coat Pearl, Jazz Blue Pearl Coat, Phantom Black Tri-Coat Pearl, Pitch Black Clear Coat, Redline Tri-Coat Pearl, Sublime Metallic Pearl Coat and TorRed Clear Coat. Twin, full-body stripes are available in Black Satin Gloss and Silver High Gloss on the SRT 392. So there you have it, the Hellcat is here, and you can bet that the Ford and Chevy camp are looking at the end of their world…

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Hotel Luar Bar.
Fantastic location, at the west of Praia da Rocha, overloocking the magnificient Três Castelos Beach. The sunset over Ponta da Piedade, across Lagos bay, is a daily scenery not to be missed, because it is always different and beautiful. At walking distance from the centre of the resort (100 yards from supermarket, restaurants and bars). Only a pedestrian walk stands between our grounds and the staircase leading to the beach.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

Hospitalists No Longer Novel
Hospitalists No Longer Novel
MANAGED CARE February 2006. ©MediMedia USA
As hospitals drive growth in programs and health plans take a back seat, this new subspecialty comes into its own
Increased emphasis on improving quality and patient safety in hospitals, growing pressures to reduce costs, and new limits on residency work hours have all led to an explosion in the number of physicians who work solely in hospitals.
Ten years ago, only a few hundred hospitalists worked in the United States. Today, approximately 12,000 physicians practice hospital medicine, making it the fastest growing medical specialty in the country, according to the Society of Hospital Medicine (SHM). By 2010, SHM predicts, the number of hospitalists could rise to 30,000, making hospital medicine larger than cardiology.
Such rapid growth has surprised even Robert Wachter, MD, a recognized leader in the field who, along with a colleague, coined the term hospitalist in an article in the New England Journal of Medicine in August 1996. Wachter, chief of the hospitalist group at the University of California — San Francisco Medical Center, says that the health care industry's focus on quality, patient safety, and cost efficiency is fueling much of the growth.
"The health care system is moving rapidly toward a value-based system, which means that hospitals, doctors, and medical groups will all do better if they can provide the highest quality of care most efficiently at the lowest cost," Wachter says. "Hospital medicine is a solution to so many different problems."
Proponents of hospital medicine argue that physicians who constantly care for acutely ill patients develop skills that make them better equipped to identify problems, to create treatment plans, and to move patients through the system quickly, thereby saving the hospital (and health plans, employers, and beneficiaries) money.
"Best practices"
"We all tend to incorporate each other's best practices in the way we deliver care, which means there's more of a single standard of care that's being delivered," says Bradley Rosen, MD, MBA, a hospitalist and assistant clinical professor in the department of internal medicine at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
Hospitalists can also help relieve overcrowded emergency departments, take care of unassigned or uninsured patients, and fill the gap created by new regulations that limit residency work hours. In addition, supporters say that hospitalist programs enable primary care physicians to focus on and schedule more outpatients, thereby becoming experts in outpatient preventive medicine.
Critics of hospitalist programs, however, contend that lack of continuity between inpatient and outpatient care may harm patients. A chief concern is that patients may not feel comfortable being cared for by an unknown physician.
In addition, critics say, both hospitalists and primary care physicians can lose insight into medical trends that occur outside of their respective settings.
Studies have shown that hospitalist programs can help reduce hospital costs and lengths of stay. For example, an August 2004 study published in the American Journal of Managed Care found that patients cared for by hospitalists averaged one day less in the hospital than other patients. Overall hospitalization costs for those patients were reduced by 10 percent. Although the study found that costs per day were higher, researchers suggested that the greater availability of hospitalists or their style of care might lead to quicker or more thorough patient evaluations.
Ron Greeno, MD, chief medical officer and cofounder of Cogent Healthcare, which implements and manages hospitalist programs, says his company helps to reduce costs per case by up to $1,000 and to decrease lengths of stay by about 30 percent. Based in Irvine, Calif., Cogent manages hospitalist programs in 25 hospitals in 16 states.
However, David Meltzer, MD, PhD, says that "the simple story that hospitalists can be counted on to always save money is not always true." Meltzer, a hospitalist and associate professor in the department of medicine, department of economics and Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Chicago, is finalizing a randomized study that compares the use of hospitalists with traditional physicians in six academic medical centers. He hopes to publish the study this summer.
Although Meltzer would not detail the results at this time, he did say that people should not assume that hospitalists always lower costs. "The crucial questions we need to ask are when do hospitalists work, when don't they work, and why. That is the focus of our study."
Hospitals in charge
In the early days, hospitalist programs were largely driven by health plans as a way to lower costs and improve efficiencies. Capitation programs and Medicare's package pricing of diagnosis-related groups were among the factors contributing to the push toward hospital medicine. Although several plans tried requiring their primary care physicians to use hospitalists, the pushback was intense. Most plans have since abandoned involuntary models.
Today, hospital medicine is being driven primarily by hospitals, an evolution that makes perfect sense to Wachter.
"Hospitals have recognized the value of hospitalists. At UCSF, we can identify hospitalists who are key leaders in all sorts of areas. They are young, enthusiastic, collaborative physicians who are more than willing to roll up their sleeves and help build new IT systems or improve safety and quality of care. The investment UCSF provides to its hospitalist program is seen as one of the best investments the medical center ever made."
Although health plans may no longer be the driving force behind hospital medicine, Wachter contends that they are still a prime beneficiary. "In many settings, managed care is getting a free ride," he says. "The hospital is the main funder of these programs, so managed care organizations are benefiting from good hospitalist programs without actually having to pay for them."
Larry Wellikson, MD, chief executive officer of the SHM, sees hospitalists and health plans as logical partners.
"At the end of the day, hospitalists are trying to provide efficient and effective care, which really should be the tag line for managed care. It isn't just about saving money, it's about doing the right thing in the most efficient way. As managed care organizations look at the problems they need to solve in a hospital, I would say that their first step should be to examine how hospitalists can help them."
According to the SHM, hospitals employ 38 percent of hospitalists. Another 23 percent are employed by hospitalist-only groups such as Cogent and IPC-The Hospitalist Co. Multispecialty groups, including health plans, employ 16 percent, and academic hospital medicine programs employ 15 percent.
Most hospitalists are salaried employees, earning an average of $155,000 plus bonus, according to the SHM. Some hospitalists are paid on a fee-for-service basis and/or receive performance incentives based on productivity and quality measures.
Hospitalist models vary within hospitals and health plans. Although some hospitals require patients to be treated only by a hospitalist upon admission, others like Cedars-Sinai continue to allow both hospitalists and primary care physicians to take care of hospitalized patients.
Some hospitals employ hospitalists directly, whereas others contract with hospitalist groups to provide the service.
In most of its hospitals, Kaiser Permanente, one of the early adopters of hospital medicine, uses salaried hospitalists.
Rather than employ hospitalists directly, other health plans use performance-based incentives to encourage their medical groups and IPAs to hire hospitalists. For example, within its HMO product line, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois offers its medical groups additional funds based on quality and hospital utilization measures tied to patient safety and outcomes in readmission rates.
"We're looking not just for shorter lengths of stay but overall better use of the hospital environment," says Stanley Borg, DO, vice president and chief medical officer of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois.
With its PPO product, Borg says, the health plan uses a "soft-steerage" approach by encouraging hospitals to assign hospitalized Blue Cross Blue Shield patients who do not have a primary care physician to a hospitalist.
Cigna uses the same approach in some states but contracts with vendors in other markets to set up hospitalist programs in hospitals that treat its patients.
Increased challenges As the ranks of hospitalists have grown, so too have their responsibilities and professional challenges.
"Initially we viewed ourselves as the primary care doctor within the hospital," explains Cara Steinkeler, MD, at Kaiser Sunnyside Medical Center in Portland, Ore. "Those days are gone. We're increasingly taking on more leadership roles in the hospital, doing a lot of comanagement with other specialties, and helping make the hospital run more smoothly."
For example, hospitalists today work more closely with surgical teams, providing pre- and post-operative patient care. They are also conducting quality improvement research, developing patient safety programs, and teaching residents at academic medical centers.
As hospitalists mature in their careers, it is natural that they take on additional responsibilities, says Winthrop Whitcomb, MD. "Being in the hospital all the time allows us to develop relationships with all other disciplines within the hospital," he says. "The major thrust of the hospitalist model is that we can become agents of system change within the hospital."
One of the founders of SHM, Whitcomb is a prime example of such evolution. After running Mercy Medical Center's Inpatient Medicine Service for 10 years, he is now director of performance improvement at the Springfield, Mass.-based hospital.
Career ladder
Whitcomb predicts that many hospitalists will eventually move into senior management roles in hospitals because they understand their operational and strategic challenges.
A recent study by the Center for Studying Health System Change suggests that the growing demand for hospitalists and the new conditions under which they work could mean that new hospitalists may not be properly prepared and may need more diverse training than in the past. Published in the February 2005 edition of the Journal of General Internal Medicine, the study examined hospitalist trends during site visits in 12 communities in 2002–03.
Wellikson, the SHM CEO, agrees that improved training is a major challenge. Most practicing hospitalists are now trained in general internal medicine. Cogent and IPC both offer additional training programs for their hospitalists, and SHM sponsors occasional leadership tracks in practice management and quality improvement for its members. SHM is also working with academic medical centers to alter their training so that three-year residents have an opportunity to acquire more of the skills they might need to become hospitalists, Wellikson says.
Becoming its own specialty
Because of hospital medicine's explosive growth, many in the industry predict that it will become a formal subspecialty within the next decade. Wachter says the American Board of Internal Medicine is currently discussing how best to certify hospitalists.
In addition, Greeno predicts growth in the number of specialists within the ranks of hospitalists as well. Pediatric hospitalists, for example, currently make up about 9 percent of the total number of hospitalists, according to the SHM. Greeno expects surgical hospitalists to be the next specialty to take off.
Rosen from Cedars-Sinai suggests that the specialization of hospital medicine will also benefit primary care physicians.
"As the hospitalist movement grows, I think you'll see a shift in primary care physicians becoming stronger advocates for their patients in the clinic," he says. "You have to have someone who recognizes the context of all these specialists."
Greeno contends that hospital medicine provides the United States with an opportunity to design a higher quality, more cost-effective model of care for its hospitalized patients.
"If you take a large number of patients and put them in the hands of a relatively small team of physicians, you really have the opportunity to standardize care to a best-practice level and improve the way that care is provided," he says. "Our entire health care system and the well-being of our population will benefit."

13-Year-Old Drew Ruana Climbs To Bolt or Not to Be (5.14a)
Next-generation crusher Drew Ruana has climbed the iconic To Bolt or Not to Be (5.14a) at Smith Rock, Oregon. Ruana's father Rudy reports via Facebook that the send was totally unexpected.
"It was supposed to be a work session. Ian Yurdin encouraged him up...talking him up to the next 'good' hold."
At just 13-years-old, Ruana's rock-climbing progression is astonishing. He has been on a sending spree lately, ticking off one Smith Rock testpiece after another. Prior to climbing To Bolt, Ruana had managed to send the Smith Rock classics Scarface, Chemical Ali, and Mr. Yuk, all of which hold the 5.14a grade.
Ruana broke into the coveted 5.14a realm last April with a send of God's Own Stone in the Red River Gorge. To Bolt or Not to Be is his fifth 5.14a.

To try to live by the example set by our lord savior Ringo Starr, or Richard Starkey as he is known to people from his hood.
We thought the cult of Ringoism would start off with a bang, but we really couldn't come up with much. The pot smoking got a little stale, and Jimmy was busted for trying to break into the "Thomas the Tank Engine" studio. We thought about banging Barbara Bach, but decided to wank off on some old playboys instead.

Malapropism used by Ringo Starr, most known as reappropriated by John Lennon as song titles.
The title of the song "Tomorrow Never Knows" is a ringoism. "A Hard Day's Night" and "Eight Days A Week" are also ringoisms.

What's all the hassle? M$ market share is already down to ~70% in Switzerland and continues to fall...
Phoronix: John Carmack Shares More Of His Linux Views
John Carmack, the co-founder of id Software that's widely known through gaming circles due to his remarkable work on developing Doom and Quake and other titles, sparked some controversy earlier this week when he promoted Wine for Linux gaming over native Linux game ports. He's now provided some additional clarification and thoughts...
What's all the hassle? M$ market share is already down to ~70% in Switzerland and continues to fall...
Not because Linux would yet be the more lucrative market, but simply because designing for linux equals to following best coding practice guidelines.
Also, porting is unnecessary. Cross platform compatibility comes almost for free if you design the program wisely from the get-go. This is why i tend to agree with carmack on this issue. Use WINE for current titles, design next-gen titles to be crossplatform - forget porting old shit that was designed in a darker age.

If and whwn Linux gets high uality modern APIs and tools,maybe. it's currently way easier and less frustrating to get a modern renderer up snd running using Microsoft's APIs and tools. As a developer with a budget and timeline, that matters. The only thing Linux has which Windows is missing is Valgrind. Meanwhile, Linux is completely lacking in high quality GPU debugging tool, and OpenGL/OpenAL are simple awful APIs. OpenGL has an excuse in that it is ancient; OpenAL has none, it was just designed by morons who copied OpenGL. Which is why so few real games use OpenAl directly and pay for fmod or wwyse, and why game devs prefer D3D9/11 over GL. Better APIs save time and money, as do better tools.
With OpenGL, if your renderer doesn't work, good luck figuring out why. Way easier to get everything working on D3D/Windows and port after you know your game is corect and works.
Valve already demonstrated how hopelessly poor windows/d3d is as a 1st class gaming platform when source runs much faster on Linux/ogl than it does after years of optimizing for win/d3d. You cannot have the cake and eat it too. Choose either simplicity or quality.

I'm fairly sure valve is already using some sort of d3d > opengl translation layer for their ports (I recall reading that somewhere)- Specifically about Direct3D translating: "Translating from D3D to OpenGL would involve more inefficiencies, but figuring out exactly what the difficulties are and making some form of D3D interop extension for OpenGL to smooth it out is a lot easier than making dozens of completely refactored, high performance native ports."
This is clearly Carmack responding to the great strides made over at Valve in the Linux user space. Wine is great for running Old games that have no chance of a port. It is a really neat piece of software but its not a optimal solution. Even Blizzard is thinking of releasing a Linux native title. I have played three WoW expansions, StarCraft 2, and Diablo III. All play alright but you can really tell the difference if you play them native. Believe me, I got them working but it was hard to do at times.
I think most of the AAA players will be the LAST ones to adopt Linux, while the indie guys, and Valve, who still has the indie spirit, will be the first to adopt it. With OpenGL ES 3.0 games coming to both hundreds of millions of iOS and Android devices, it should be easy to port the same games to Linux, too, especially with more engines like Unity supporting it. I hope Unreal 4 supports it, too. Last I checked they were undecided. But I hope they will.
It's still disappointing Carmack is not on the "indie" side anymore, but what can you do?
This sentence doesn't make any sense. Doing a shim layer won't make disappear the "variability" in driver quality.A good shim layer should have far less impact on performance than the variability in driver quality.
You just throw back the problem to the Wine developers...
I think he means the shim is a less important factor on the loss of performance than some drivers that don't have high performance, but both will affect it(in other words there are issues regarding performance with higher priority than the ones coming from the shim).
Besides, at least from my understanding, what wine does is that when the wine dll is called, it calls a linux native function instead of a windows native function, at worst you get an extra function call in between. Whether the linux native functions or code within the wine dlls are optimized is of course another matter, not connected with inherent issues of the implementation.
