- Cadillac Twin-Turbo V-6 with 410 hp
- Automatic Parking Assist Electric power steering
- Intellibeam headlamps
- Rear-seat entertainment system
- Front passenger seat memory feature
- Opaque sunroof sunshade
DUBAI – The Cadillac XTS is one of the most technologically advanced production cars in the brand's history, delivering the space, elegance and dramatic presence that are brand signatures in a unique package tuned for a new generation of luxury customers.
Cadillac's all-new, power-dense Twin-Turbo V-6 engine highlights new features for 2014, along with technologies including available Automatic Parking Assist and Intellibeam. Additional new and revised features include:
- An available rear-seat entertainment system with twin DVD screens that fold out of the backs of the front seats
- Opaque sunroof sunshade.
XTS is offered in a well-equipped standard model and two optional collections: Luxury and Platinum. The XTS Platinum represents the highest level of technology and luxury, including a unique front appearance, wheels and interior colors, materials and trim.
Highlights for all collections include:
- Standard direct-injected 3.6L V-6 with lightweight features, including integrated cylinder heads/exhaust manifolds
- Advanced all-wheel-drive system with electronically controlled limited-slip differential
- Magnetic Ride Control, rear air springs, HiPer Strut front suspension and Brembo front brakes – all standard
- Standard 19-inch wheels and available 20-inch wheels
- Capless fuel tank filler for easier, cleaner refueling
- Folding rear-seat head restraints that enhance rear visibility
- Safety Alert Seat that pulses to alert the driver
- Intervening braking system that lessens or avoids potential collisions
- Short- and long-range radar systems that support adaptive cruise control, front/rear automatic brakes and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Pricing for the 2014 XTS starts at AED 245,000, with standard equipment including the 3.6L V6 engine that makes 305 hp, CUE, intelligent brake assist and Magnetic Ride Control. Two option packages are available: Luxury and Platinum Collections.
The XTS Vsport model will be offered only in the up-level Platinum Collection. In addition to the twin turbo engine, Vsport offers upgraded 20-inch wheels and a unique grille, with pricing starting at AED 285,000.
XTS is the only luxury sedan with standard Magnetic Ride Control – the world's fastest-reacting suspension – while the advanced all-wheel-drive system uses Haldex technology with an electronic limited-slip differential to transfer power front-to-back, and side-to-side, along the rear axle. It is available on all collections.
The XTS is also the most spacious Cadillac sedan, tailored to provide roominess in a more efficiently sized package. It offers more interior space than midsize luxury cars and is comparable to full-size sedans, particularly in the rear seat area, where it has 40 inches (1,016 mm) of rear legroom providing more room than its competition.
And when it comes to trunk space, the XTS is in a league of its own, with 18 cubic feet (509 L), exceeding both midsize and full-size competitors. For XTS customers, the cargo advantage means room for five or more suitcases.
XTS design and exterior features
XTS's hardware and spatial dimensions are the foundational layers that support exceptional surface detail. Multidimensional elements, including the grille, headlamps and accent lighting, coalesce to give the XTS a presence and attention to detail unlike any Cadillac that has come before it.
The XTS's surface details also convey a more nuanced design philosophy, bringing elegance with refined, graceful forms and surfaces working harmoniously with established Cadillac linear forms. Additional features include:
- Unique "Twin-Turbo" grille and deck lid identification on models equipped with the 3.6L twin-turbo engine
- Premium chrome/satin-chrome grille finish on Platinum Collection
- Intellibeam automatic headlamp control
- Illuminating door handles are standard on all Luxury and Platinum Collections
- Capless fuel-filling system is standard on all models
- High-intensity discharge headlamps with Twilight Sentinel are standard on all models
- Adaptive Forward Lighting is standard on all collections

- Heated outside mirrors with auto-dimming feature, turn-signal indicators and puddle lamps are standard on all models
- Rainsense automatic windshield wipers are standard on all collections
- Nineteen-inch polished aluminum wheels are standard on the Luxury Collection
- Twenty-inch aluminum wheels with polished finish and chrome inserts are standard on the Platinum Collection
- Eight exterior color choices: Radiant Silver Metallic, Black Raven, Crystal Red Tintcoat, White Diamond Tricoat, Graphite Metallic, Black Diamond Tricoat, Silver Coast Metallic and Sapphire Blue Metallic.
XTS interior features
Like the exterior, the XTS's cabin extolls a multidimensional philosophy in a bold, elegant design that is also very efficient in the ways it encompasses passengers and cargo. It represents Cadillac's new expression of luxury also in its use of authentic materials and unprecedented connectivity. Platinum Collection models feature a fully wrapped leather interior with microfiber sueded headliner, as well as premium wood trim on the steering wheel, console, center stack, instrument panel and door panels.
Seating trim is offered with Soleil Keisel surfaces or premium Opus full leather – both with perforated detailing. Heated and ventilated seats are also offered. Additional interior features include:
- Adaptive remote start is standard on all models
- Audio system with Bose premium eight-speaker sound is standard on the Luxury Collection
- Bose Studio Surround Sound with 14-speaker system with energy-efficient amplifier is standard on Platinum Collections
- Rear-seat entertainment system is available on the Platinum Collection
- Tri-zone automatic climate control is standard on the Platinum Collection Dual-zone automatic climate control is standard on the Luxury Collection
- Leather-wrapped IP and door trim top pad, along with the center console, is standard on the Platinum Collection
- Color, reconfigurable 12.3-inch gauge cluster with driver information center is standard on the Platinum Collection
- Head-Up Display with color readouts is standard on the Platinum Collection
- Illuminated entry and courtesy lighting is standard on all models
- Accent lighting, including LED spotlights with light pipes, is standard on Luxury and Platinum Collections

- Heated steering wheel is standard
- Power rear window shade and manual rear side window shades are available on the Platinum Collection
- Real wood trim is incorporated on all models
- Six interior color/trim combinations: Jet Black, Shale with Cocoa accents, Medium Titanium with Jet Black accents, Caramel with Jet Black accents, Jet Black with Light Wheat accents and Very Light Platinum with Dark Urban and Cocoa accents.
CUE details
Cadillac CUE is standard on all models. Its heart is the standard eight-inch (203 mm) screen in the center stack, the faceplate below the screen and the steering wheel controls. Features include capacitive-touch control with proximity sensing, haptic feedback, gesture recognition and natural voice recognition.
A 12.3-inch (312 mm) reconfigurable instrument cluster is standard on the Platinum Collection. It features vibrant graphic displays showcased among four driver-selectable themes, ranging from minimal to extensive information. And while it is the prominent element in the XTS's technological character, CUE is part of a more comprehensive and layered approach to the car's design, capabilities and performance.
XTS powertrains
The new Cadillac Twin-Turbo 3.6L V-6 is available in the XTS, delivering SAE-certified 410 horsepower and 500 Nm of torque, making it one of the most power-dense six-cylinder engines in the segment. A pair of smaller turbochargers and an efficient charge air cooler help provide more immediate power delivery, while peak torque is sustained over a broad range – 1,900 to 5,600 rpm – for a confident feeling of power in almost all driving conditions, such as accelerating or overtaking traffic on the highway.
The twin-turbo engine is a comprehensive upgrade on the 60-degree, 3.6L DOHC V-6 that is offered as the standard engine in the XTS. However, almost every component is unique. New features include:
- All-new cylinder block casting
- Strengthened connecting rods
- Machined, domed aluminum pistons with top steel ring carrier for greater strength
- 10.2:1 compression ratio
- Patented, integrated charge air cooler system with low-volume air ducts
- Two turbochargers produce more than 5.4 kg of boost (80 kPa)
- Vacuum-actuated wastegates with electronic control valves
- All-new direct injection fuel system
- Tuned air inlet and outlet resonators, aluminum cam covers and other features that contribute to exceptional quietness and smoothness.
The cylinder heads are also unique to the Cadillac Twin-Turbo. They feature a high-tumble intake port design that enhances the motion of the air charge for a more-efficient burn when it is mixed with the direct-injected fuel and ignited in the combustion chamber.
The XTS's standard 3.6L V-6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 355 Nm of torque. Lightweight features help reduce overall weight for greater efficiency and a more favorable front-to-rear weight balance. Examples include a composite intake manifold that saves approximately 2.5 kg over the weight of a comparable aluminum intake and an integrated cylinder head/exhaust manifold design that saves approximately 6 kg per engine.
The engines are matched with six-speed automatic transmissions with tap-shift control.
XTS driving experience
A layered approach to the driving experience relies on new and established technologies – all rooted in a stiff structure. The body is infused with strategically placed, ultra-high-strength steel for strength and crash protection, and serves as the foundation for the advanced chassis system.
A smart all-wheel-drive system with Haldex technology – with an electronic limited-slip differential that splits torque between the rear wheels – complements an advanced HiPer Strut front suspension and standard Magnetic Ride Control real-time damping to give the XTS sure-footed, confident and comfortable ride and handling traits. A linked H-arm design with "air springs" comprises the rear suspension.
HiPer Strut is based on the MacPherson strut front suspension design and features dual-path top mountings that separate the transfer of spring and damper loads to the body structure. It improves ride-and-handling characteristics in four significant ways:
- Provides more linear and communicative steering through improved camber control
- Improves impact isolation on bumps and rough surfaces
- Reduces torque steer
- Improves vehicle sensitivity to tire irregularities and wheel imbalance.
Magnetic Ride Control delivers precise body motion control – "reading" the road every millisecond and changing damping in just five milliseconds. It replaces conventional mechanical-valve shocks with electronically controlled shocks filled with a magneto-rheological fluid containing minute iron particles. Under the presence of magnetic charge, the iron particles align to provide damping resistance almost instantly.
StabiliTrak electronic stability control is standard on all models, along with variable-effort steering and four-wheel disc brakes (front Brembo brakes) with four-channel antilock brakes – all features that add important layers of control to the driving experience. Like Magnetic Ride Control, XTS borrows the Brembo braking technology from Cadillac's V-Series of high-performance models.
XTS safety
The XTS's technology fundamentally supports a range of advanced safety features, based on a "control and alert" strategy that extends the vision around the vehicle. It helps drivers identify potential crash situations and even intervenes when a crash threat appears more imminent, employing visual, audible and tactile (vibration) alerts, depending on the feature.
The alerts are designed to identify obstacles with sufficient warning to give the driver time to react and make changes – including the Safety Alert Seat feature, which vibrates either the left or right side of the driver's seat cushion, depending on the location of the impending concern. The intervening features, including Automatic Collision Preparation and front and rear automatic brakes, take over if the threat appears more immediate or the driver does not react to previous alerts.
The Driver Awareness Package is standard on the Platinum Collections and available on the Luxury Collection. It includes:
- Lane Departure Warning
- Forward Collision Alert
- Safety Alert Seat
- Side Blind Zone Alert
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Reflected LED display.
The new Intellibeam feature automatically deploys high-beam headlamps when needed and instantly turns them down when oncoming traffic is detected.
The Driver Assist Package is standard on the Platinum Collection. It includes:
- The Driver Awareness Package
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Front Automatic Brake
- Rear Automatic Brake
- Automatic Collision Preparation.
Additional safety features include dual-stage frontal air bags, knee air bags, side-impact air bags, head-curtain air bags and seat side-impact air bags for outboard rear passengers. Also, a rearview camera with dynamic guidelines is standard on Luxury and Platinum Collections. Head-up display and full-speed adaptive cruise control are available.
The XTS also offers Automatic Parking Assist, which enables the car to parks itself in parallel spaces. It uses ultrasonic sensors to locate a suitable space and maneuver the car into the space. The driver is required to only engage reverse and apply the accelerator and brake pedals.

Breaking Open the Head: A Psychedelic Journey into the Heart of Contemporary Shamanism is a book written by author and journalist Daniel Pinchbeck, founding editor of the literary journal Open City. Published in 2002, Breaking Open the Head covers, in Pinchbeck's words, the cultural history of psychedelic use, philosophical and critical perspectives on shamanism, and his personal transformation from a cynical New York litterateur to psychedelic acolyte.
Pinchbeck details his initiation with the Bwiti and their use of iboga. The account remains personal with Pinchbeck crediting the experience with an insight into his reliance on alcohol.

Port President Predicts Strong Business Outlook
A week after telling President Obama what the Port of New Orleans needs to succeed, Port President Gary LaGrange told maritime interests that its future is bright. The port is zeroing in on the White House direction to boost exports.
Port President Gary LaGrange delivered his annual State of the Port address this week, firing off the stats he told President Obama.
"Three billion dollars in federal taxes paid to the federal government because of the Port of New Orleans annually; 380,000 people have gainful jobs in America because of the Port of New Orleans," he said. "And [the President] stopped me right there and put his hand on my shoulder and said, 'This is not the first time you've said this, is it?' I said no."
LaGrange says the port is in its third consecutive record-breaking year. Last year the port handled 2 million tons of chemicals, and in the first six months of this year shows a 35 percent increase over the same period in 2012.
LaGrange says future projects expected to increase port business include the revamped Riverwalk shopping center and more cruise passengers.
He says the port will continue pushing to dredge the Mississippi River to 50 feet to accommodate more shipping — because he says it's cost effective.
"The cost is not astronomical, especially if you're talking to the president or the secretary of transportation. It's roughly $300 million in initial costs and $90 million in maintenance every year thereafter," said LaGrange. "When you're talking about a cost-benefit ratio of 89.4 to 1, we don't think that's a lot to ask."
LaGrange says the port will continue plans to handle more container cargo expected when the Panama Canal expansion is finished in 2015.

Cylinder Subs
Few years back I found a huge PVC drain pipe, 15" ID 1/2" wall (still have 4' left). I made several BR subs with 8" and 12" woofers.
They worked okay, I didn't see any advantage over a rectangle box. I had some pics, but must have delated them. I would add if sphere is the ideal speaker inclosure, there would be 100s of them available in stores, web, etc. |

The sphere is ideal only in how it manages baffle step and diffraction. We can beat boxes into submission and they pass the WAF easier. There are spherical speakers on the market.
This is pretty simple physics. Just go read Olson's paper. It has ONLY to do with diffraction and baffle step. No magic, golden, Fib sequence, smoke and mirrors. Like I said before, his original work stands so well, no one has needed to revisit the subject. Just read it. BTW, a sphere with a wad of damping in the center works exceedingly well. Also note that internal reflections are no where near as important as the external problems Olson addresses. Not unimportant, just not as. |

Here's the equation you need to work out what freq your spheres will work down to in terms of removing defraction issues:
required sphere radius = 13500 / lowest frequency / 2 / pi |

I went through all 4 volumes. You know, his "crude" work has everything this thread needs except getting a few people to actually read it. If you can mention a specific paper that adds to this conversation, let me know and I will revisit it.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I originally bought this pack with the intention of using it to carry my full trad rack on long climbing approaches. I have used it for this, and it worked fantastically carrying a heavy climbing rack and rope! But i have also used it for many overnight trips and even a 2 night trip. I'd like to start off by saying this is an awesome pack!It has so many cool features in it! The shelled outer pocket would be great for storing crampons, and you wouldn't have to worry about them ripping through your pack. The three point haul system makes it easy to tow it up a wall behind you if you're planning on staying over night on the summit of a climb. This pack also works great for a quick lightweight overnight trip, and if you don't plan on taking much stuff, could easily be used for atleast a 5 day trip. The nice thing about the size of this pack, is i can pack my whole rack in the bottom, and still have room for a sleeping bag and coat on top. I can then store my tent on top of my rope under the lid of the pack, secure them both down with the rope carry system, and have a solid setup to camp and climb for a few days. This pack is lightweight, durable, and very comfortable. I highly recommend it!

Bigger and just as good

The Variant 52 takes all the great things that I love in the Variant 37 just a few days further.
For one, it's got a comfy hip belt and properly padded shoulder straps, making that stupid load a bit less painful. It's easy to isolate the weight on either the hip belt or shoulder straps or blend both in increments. The ice axe/ice tool carry is sublime. No rattle or movement, but plenty of quick access. I'd make the crampon pouch pocket a little bit deeper for easier access with a full bag.
Once everything is unloaded at camp, the 52 does a terrific job of being just a day pack. The compression straps hold everything together, so there's no flop, and it's an overall low profile.
If the beating I've given my 37 is any indicator, the 52 will look new and act brand new for quite a while.
I'll check in later once I've used it more.

I love this bag so much. It's incredibly light yet super durable. most recently did a ski tour and at one point with my skis strapped to the back it weighed 45-50 lbs but it it never felt like I was hauling that much weight. I quickly was able to attach my skis in an a-frame and easy climb a rocky area. A few times I almost lost my balance but everything was stable and secure I'm my bag. The outside pickets were stupid short but I bought some narrower water containers for spare water and mainly used my bladder for drinking water.
This bag holds a whole heck of a lot of stuff and I still manage to find room after stuffing it to the brim. I appreciated the ability to get a size that suits my height and build. The straps are comfortable, adjustable and the waist strap sits comfortably and yet snug in my hips.
I am 5ft4 no hips and got size small.
I like the bright red. It actually helped when we got socked in and the person close behind me kept her eyes on my bag. Great all around ski tour bag and summer backpacking bag. Maybe a little big for short trips but you can always remove the too if necessary.

Best all-around pack I've used
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Variant 52 is nearly perfect. I've beat this thing up pretty well with crampons, ice tools, mountaineering tools, skis, and lots of rock gear. If you're into shedding weight you can take out the back lining and replace it with a very light sleeping pad. The hipbelt and brain come off to create a combined daypack if needed. It carries heavy weight impressively well. Haul straps are well-positioned. The whole pack is very adjustable.
Like other reviewers mentioned, the side pockets are oddly short. I assume this is to accommodate nalgene removal without taking the pack off, but if I'm climbing I biner all bottles anyway.

How did you get it to hold your skis well? Is it stable?
Lexi Dowdall
Hey Gravity Slave,
This Ospray pack comes equipped with straps dedicated to supporting your skis either diagonally as Kim has hers situated or in an A-frame shape. It is stable, though you should definitely consider securing your tips with a Voile strap if you opt for the A-frame method (my favorite --as it seems to weight more equally than the diagonal method).

My best pack ever
Got my Variant this spring and here it is packed with everything for a 4 day hike in Hornstrandir, Iceland, tent and all. Great design and fits everything nicely (although tightly)! Can't wait to see how it performs this winter!

Awesome everywhere overnight pack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
When an objective calls for a comfortable overnight, this is my go-to. Not quite as waterproof as the seam sealed arcteryxs so my stuff has gotten wet in NW rain/snow mix, but where its just snow or spring corn everything stays dry. Easy to pack in 4-5 days of stuff for backpacking, skiing, or anything in between. Lasted well so far and fit is spot on medium 5' 10" 145.
I do wish it was a bit more streamlined, but then I just bring a smaller pack and live less comfortably in camp.

After using this pack this past spring and summer for climbing pursuits, I have found that this pack works great in any condition. Although the pack is meant to specialize in ski mountaineering and alpine climbing, I would argue that this is the pack that gets it done for any activity because of its size and storage systems. Hoping to use this up on Mt. Rainier, Adams, and Hood this upcoming Spring/Summer for ski touring and ascents.

Ski Pack
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've used this pack for the entire ski season however; I truly put it to the test this past weekend in late June. I enjoyed a two day backpack ski trip into the Three Sisters Wilderness Area. I had to pack my skis for close to a mile just to reach the snowline. The pack handled the weight extremely well. Total weight of the loaded pack with skis - 55 lbs. Make sure to tie you ski brakes into the closed position (like when your boot is locked into the binding). This will keep the ends of the brakes from rubbing against the sides of the pack. The best feature of this pack is the ability to compress the bag for tiny loads. Once I'd set up my base camp, I was able to pack it with just the essentials and ski the couloirs above Moraine Lake. By the way, when I bought it in December I wondered why a ski pack would have a hydration bladder sleeve? I really needed it while skiing in 60+ degree weather! Great pack!
Doesn't get much better.
I'm not sure where to start. All I can say is, it's the best pack I've ever owned. It just works. You know how some of the gadgets and things in your life "just work" and you can make little customizations to them that make them truly unique to you. It's like putting on your favorite pair of pants or shoes. This pack has everything I need when I need it. Nothing I don't when I don't need it.
If you're on the lookout for a pack that can literally handle any situation you want to throw at it (outside of maybe an expedition), look no further. Get this pack.

Variant 52 Review
I have only had a chance to use this pack a couple times since receiving it, so durability is still a wait-and-see. As far as utility goes, it's an amazing pack. It fit my sleeping bag, air mattress and 3+ season tent well with room for the extra stuff. It's a little snug to fit in all the overnight gear, so the length of your trip might be limited to a few nights. If you're using this for mountaineering and splitboarding like myself, that's a good thing so that you don't end up with too much weight. The profile is awesome and it is comfortable. Will also work for backpacking in the summer, but you may want a partner with a little bigger pack to help carry some stuff, not much though. Highly recommend for people looking for a multi use pack.

Obsidian Entertainment - Fallout: New Vegas Announced
View Single Post
April 21st, 2009, 09:07
By the way - this is totally unexpected from Bethesda.
I really have to wonder why they would do this - and the cynical me says it's just another way to milk a popular franchise. But the "romantic" me suggests that maybe they're testing themselves. Maybe they're slightly sick of hearing about how they're handling gameplay all wrong, and maybe they're a tiny bit curious if someone like Obsidian can truly outdo them.
To be frank, Bethesda are great at marketing and their engines are typically pretty solid and technically impressive. Combining high production values with genuine game design could result in something classic.
Anyway, just random thoughts.

September 1939 - Nazi Austria turns on their Jews and the family Wacs flees Vienna, saving their lives. Destination: Shanghai; alien to them-different language, people, culture. Had they not escaped, one week later war broke out, and this family's fate might have been quite different. An Uncommon Journey addresses universal issues-persecution and the will to survive. This unique memoir by a sister and brother ten years apart shares different memories, often of the same events. The truth becomes a mosaic with many facets, creating a moving portrait of a family uprooted.

Varicella Zoster Virus
A review of Varicella Zoster Virus and other alphaherpesviruses.
Edited by: Sandra K. Weller "a valuable resource and highly recommended" (BMTW); "insightful reading" (Antiviral Therapy) read more ...This up-to-date and comprehensive volume distills the most important research in this area providing a timely overview of the field. |
Varicella Zoster Virus
from from Alphaherpesviruses: Molecular Virology edited by Sandra K. Weller (2011)Varicella zoster virus (VZV) is a herpes viruses. It infects humans and other vertebrates. Varicella zoster virus has a smaller genome than herpes simplex virus. VZV induces a lifelong immunity that protects against clinical signs of exogenous re-infection read more ...
Varicella Zoster Virus Transcriptional Regulation
from Jeffrey I. Cohen writing in Alphaherpesviruses: Molecular Virology:Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) encodes three immediate-early proteins, IE4, IE62, and IE63; however, only IE62 has TAATGARAT-like sequences in its promoter which are present in the promoters of each of the herpes simplex virus immediate-early proteins. The TAATGARAT-like elements on the IE62 promoter bind to VZV ORF10 protein, Oct, and HCF-1. In addition, histone methyltransferases are recruited to the IE62 promoter to modify chromatin to a transcriptionally active form. VZV IE62, the major VZV transactivator binds to VZV IE4 and IE63, and Med25, part of the mediator complex which upregulates gene expression. VZV IE62, IE4, and IE63 are present in the viral tegument where they may help to regulate transcription early in infection. IE63 binds to several cellular proteins including ASF1 and RNA polymerase II. Two hypotheses have been proposed for regulation of VZV gene expression during latency. First, relocalization of HCF-1 from the cytoplasm to the nucleus of sensory ganglia in response to stimuli associated with reactivation may help to augment transcription of IE62 to reactivate VZV from latency. Second, promoters of latent genes are maintained in a euchromatic state allowing their transcription, while promoters of genes not associated with latency are in a heterochromatic state resulting in repression of transcription read more ...
Varicella-Zoster Virus Glycoproteins
from Charles Grose, Susan Vleck, Odd Andre Karlsen and Eduardo A. Montalvo writing in Alphaherpesviruses: Molecular Virology:Varicella zoster virus has a smaller genome than herpes simplex virus and therefore encodes fewer glycoproteins. In a recent review nine VZV glycoproteins are profiled, including gE, gI, gC, gH, gL, gB, gK, gM, and gN. Although all VZV glycoproteins have HSV homologs, functions occasionally have greatly shifted. For example, VZV gE is the predominant VZV glycoprotein and exists as a monomer, dimer and trimer, as well as a gE/gI complex. VZV gE is essential, unlike HSV gE. Even though essential, mutations in gE had been detected in wild type VZV strains that exhibit an accelerated cell-spread phenotype. The VZV gC glycoprotein differs from HSV gC in that both transcription and translation of VZV gC are remarkably delayed in cultured cells; often VZV gC protein is difficult to detect altogether. The VZV gH/gL complex resembles the HSV gH/gL complex is that both are critical for virus induced fusion. Fusion is a prominent feature of VZV infected cells. Neutralization antibody to VZV gH dramatically reduces the spread of virus and limits pathogenesis in the skin. The VZV gB glycoprotein is also involved in virus-induced fusion. Of interest, four VZV glycoproteins (gE, gI, gH and gB) have functional endocytosis motifs in their cytoplasmic tail. Thus, all four are internalized from the cell surface in clathrin coated vesicles. This pathway appears critical for the process of virion envelopment in the assembly compartment. Even though abundant amounts of most glycoproteins are produced in cell culture, assembly of fully enveloped and infectious VZV particles rarely occurs. The particle:plaque forming unit ratio remains an extremely high 40,000:1. Likewise, the aberrant assembly process severely limits any assessment of egress mechanisms read more ...
Immunity to Varicella Zoster Virus
from Paul R. Kinchington and Allison Abendroth writing in Alphaherpesviruses: Molecular Virology:Of three human alphaherpesviruses, only Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) induces a lifelong immunity that protects against clinical signs of exogenous re-infection and, for most of the population, from any sign of reactivation from the latent state. The importance of VZV specific immunity is exemplified by its absence: severity and morbidity of the primary infection (varicella) and incidence of reactivated disease (zoster) are greatly increased in those with immune compromise, particularly those impaired in the cell mediated immune responses. The protection afforded by VZV specific immunity underlies successful live attenuated vaccines that have greatly impacted the incidence of varicella, and reduce the incidence, severity and complications of zoster. Consequently, the important components of VZV induced immunity and their contribution to the protective state has been well studied and is outlined in a recent review. Less is known of the strategies exploited by VZV to evade the innate and adaptive arms, but their activities are presumed to be critical to extend the life of the infected cell and to enhance viral production and dissemination. Evasion appears to include distinct strategies from those used by Herpes simplex viruses and includes expression of novel immune evasion proteins read more ...

Excuse me? WE ... didn't get into the current mess. [It wasn't us, Gus!] It wasn't us up on the Bridge who ran the ship onto the rocks at full steam. We made one mistake and one mistake only. We TRUSTED the people who lead us here in UKUSA didn't we? We BELIEVED their gobbledygook and swallowed their codswallop like fish in a feeding frenzy. Like lambs to the slaughter we believed the spin'n'hype that they were so clever and smart (they're as dumb as an ox but as cunning as a fox) and followed them over the cliffs to the waiting rocks below (with our God-given skepticism it seems we did part). And guess what? THE SAME PEOPLE are still up there on the Bridge. And we are being asked to follow them over the NEXT SET of cliffs, Andrew. OK, if we survive that, they're gonna lead us far out into the desert without water ... I can tell you.
Oh no! It's a new day and we haven't had a 'Major Speech' on the economy from the 'Cheerleader-in-Chief' yet. It's like trying to get through the morning without our daily 'fix' of coffee. Oh no! If the Viagra President doesn't soon address me, I might start to think that the ECONOMIC CARNAGE I see all around me is reality. I'd much rather believe what the President is telling me daily (make that 10 times a day, actually) than believe all this Chernobyl-style economic meltdown of the economy that my eyes tell me. Anyway, who cares which way the economy's gonna go? The story I'm really interested in is about a dog called Bo. Everything little thing's gonna be apples and roses and peaches and cream I know. A messiah called Obama told me so.
Oh yes, I forgot to mention.
This might be a good time to stock up on food and ammo.
To rich:
OK, thanks for that.
To Dude:
How can we 'build a future for our children' when that future (and their children's future) has been mortgaged and sold down the river by the corruptpoliticians? Right now, 8% of US taxes goes towards paying interest on the national debt. Interest rates are very low at present. They will be moving up towards 20% in time (as the inevitable consequential inflation, due to all this printing of money, starts to bite), and taxes themselves will have to double or triple to pay for Mr. Obama's current wild spending spree. The interest on the debt will therefore swallow up most of the GDP, eventually. This is what it means ... to sell your children (indeed many generations yet unborn) into economic slavery. THIS is what it means to turn your cherished country into a Latin American Banana Republic so egregiously. And all the while singing 'Land of the Free' lustily; and saluting the Red White and Blue heroically; whilst not being much more switched on than a Waltzing Matilda kangaroo in the Blue Bayou. And if this dire prediction comes true, please remember that the person letting it happen whilst swallowing all the 'Pollyanna Jargon' as cheerfully as the wind in the tree ... was you. In short, Sir Knight, sorry to have to be the one to tell thee this night – but we all have been screwed quite royally. Haven't we?
None of this is pleasant. But let's not confuse the issue. My point is not about the politics. It's about the reality of the market. I believe the market has priced in all of the bad news already. Stocks will go up and down. But I really do not think we are going to see the "shock and awe" that some would have you think. Granted, the unemployment numbers have been bad, but retail sales seem to be improving. The Baltic Exchange Dry Index has crashed but with $150 oil it had to. It gets pretty hard to make cheap plastic junk and ship it abroad when your feedstock for boat fuel and plastics is so high.
Think of the past few months as a smash in the face, the kind you used to get in highschool over something stupid. It hurts, you're kind of dazed for a second or two, but then you realize that you're still breathing, still standing, and ready to do something about it.
Some run and hide, some do nothing, some shake it off and fight back. The best thing is we still live in a country that gives you a choice. At least I do.
The fear thing is getting out of hand. In the state where I live, gun sales have increased 50%. Ammunition has increased almost 100% in price - if you can find it.
People need to relax, hug their kids, have a drink, do whatever makes you happy. Then get back to making money and building a future for our children. One that doesn't let people trade assets that cannot be valued. Or take on debt they aren't suited for. That's how we got into the current mess.
To the Matador:
Your article is a little over the top and melodramatic, but I know where you are coming from, and I essentially agree with you. I too am sick of the mess our politicians and finance people made in the process of raping our financial systems.
The innocent (e.g. savers and taxpayers) are screwed repeatedly and blatantly (brass-facedly).
The crooks and the other baddies (e.g. the bankers and investment bankers and the odd Wall Street biggie) are rewarded times three.
Stop the world I want to get off. It's gone plumb crazy!
This is NOT ... how it was meant to be.
Liquidity is not returning to the Markets. That's just government propaganda. The Credit Crunch is here to stay. The back of the US Consumer is broken in more than one place and there goes more than 70% of US GDP. What business large or small is going to be so dumb as to borrow money to expand operations and create employment in a landscape where the impecunious consumer can't spend and won't spend, even if the banks were lending which they aren't? Pouring money into bankrupt zombie banks is a silly thing to do. The more taxpayer money that's poured into them the more bankrupt these zombies become. It's like pouring money into the Black Hole of Calcutta. Only very misguided people would do such a thing. To distract criticism from the Iraq War, the then US President and the then British Prime Minister got the financial institutions to open up the taps and let anybody who could manage an X (or failing that just put a pawprint on the document) on the Application Form have thousands of billions of dollars of credit. It was also as a result of the blinkered focus on Iraq that the problems of Africa and the rest of the world were ignored. Enter Stage Left Somalia. Enter Stage Right North Korea. Enter Stage Centre Iran. Enter Israel with nuclear weapons and ready to use them. A country called Pakistan was also sacrificed on the altar of Iraq. Now Pakistan's well on its way to becoming another Somalia. A nuclear-armed Somalia, ready to nuke India, which in turn is ready to nuke Pakistan first in a 'Pre-emptive Strike' (which is quite allowable under the New Doctrine or 'Rules of Engagement'). Iraq itself is going to erupt into a 5-faction Civil War with the force of a volcanic explosion one of these days if many more US Forces are withdrawn. Afghanistan is a Republic that defeated Alexander the Great, Genghis Kahn , other Mongols , the British Empire , the Soviets (USSR) and now the United Socialist States of America and some European camp-followers. In short, the invasion of Iraq has created enough problems for the world to keep it busy for a couple hundred years at least. How people don't think (can't see) that we are headed for the 1929 to 1944 scenario is perplexing to me. It is going to be far worse than it was in 1933. All we are seeing now is a 'headfake rally' aka a 'deadcat bounce'. People say this is not a depression, just a recession. I agree. The Great Depression II (aka the Great Crash of 2010 which will be accompanied by the Great Hyperinflation, the Great Starvation and the Great Collapse of the US Currency) lies ahead waiting for us as patiently as the iceberg lay and waited in the dark for Titanic. Post-911 (and post-Iraq especially), the US and the UK economy were driven up up and up, baby ... into one giant unstable Ponzi. When the Bernie Ponzi collapsed into the sea, there was no 'coming back' for Bernie. For the US Ponzi Economy and the UK Ponzi Economy ... same story! Death is a one-way journey. So is birth actually. There's no climbing back into the womb for le baby. The continuing collapse of the US and UK economy is a one-way journey, similarly, made ten times worse by the Obama/Brown wrong strategy. A 'State of Denial' seems to exist and folks refuse to adjust to the 'New Reality' of 'Livin' in Penury'. Things are never going to get back to how they used to be – not this year, not next year not anytime this century most certainly. Time to wake up and smell the coffee maybe! No use reliving some former glory endlessly. Dreams of yesterday won't make the problems go away. Thinking happy thoughts won't keep the financial demons at bay ... I daresay.
My grandfather survived the Great Depression by riding rail cars coast to coast across Canada looking for work. He'd wear coveralls over his suit and tie. They didn't have food, water, or a toilet in a freight car. He eventually got through it and started a business that has lasted over 60 years (still running today).
I really don't think we are headed for the scenario my grandfather went through. Liquidity is returning to markets, corporate bond markets are active again, and we must all remember that this has been a financial crisis, not an economic crisis. The leaders of the G20 are taking care of business by backing the banks. This is the one thing that my grandfather said was different about the Great Depression. If we see governments backing down, then stock up on ammo and canned goods. Until then, I'm taking advantage of the buying opportunities that are out there. And kicking myself for not buying into the market when the DOW hit 6500.
Part of the stockmarket crash was the result of sheer panic as well as forced selling by those that had bought on margin. My experience is primarily with the Canadian TSX, but I think at this point, people are reviewing the fundamentals of various companies and buying those that were thrashed without any good reason. As you have likely heard, Canadian banks and other financial institutions have not suffered the losses that similar companies in other countries have experienced. Also, there are companies that can be considered "recession proof", such as utility companies, those that sell staple goods, etc. Again, these companies are being reviewed and bought as they are most likley to regain their value. Indeed, we have some utility companies that during the worst of the downturn(so far anyway) went down perhaps 5% or so. So perhaps a little rationality is coming into the picture?
"...or they may simply be spotting imaginary signs of life
in a dead parrot."
...What an incredible combo. I love your sarcasm in many
an article. And, I just love Monty Python. I, in fact, enjoy
reading your stories--often imaginarily hiring John Cleese
as a mental voice (I don't speak your or his English. But
sort of Robert De Niro's). So, say, the Leader: "How China
sees the world (Mar 21st)" was, don't blame me, but just so
funny that I couldn't help bursting out laughing all the while.
Remember, that's all thanks to the newsreader, Mr. Cleese.
Not to the issue itself.
But as for this dead parrot thesis, Mr. Cleese sounded sort of
solemn. Not least because this is one of the most formidable
sarcasm I've encountered in The Economist. Your sarcasm,
to me, is a gauge of your commitment to a certain issue. So,
I construe this one as the sign of your confidence in viewing
the stockmarket, which is, the way you see it, fraught with
You're pretty sure that the stockmarket will be rattled. And,
it will be upset by none other than the cohort in the first part:
"Investors might be showing such exceptional foresight...,"
...Sir, you didn't have to paraphrase their trait. Use the word,
the way you did at the onset of this financial crisis: prescient
("Full of eastern promise," Aug 25th 2007). Investors were
prescient, hence, they, your theory back then goes, jumped
into subprime mortgages. It is, alas, very heartening to see
those investors flaunt their "exceptional foresight" again at
this stage. (Anyway, I'm very glad that you've honed your
sarcasm, as I hoped a couple of weeks ago, and presented
this hefty, hefty one at the right time.)
"So what explains this dichotomy between share prices and
...Sir, what are you talkin' about? It's not unique at all. Not
least because many of those who cannot help dancing on the
stockmarket at this stage are, after all, the same gentlemen
that broke "records as if the credit crisis were ancient history
('Bad-new bulls,' Oct 6th 2007)." Writing is your job; dancing
is their job. A writer writes, always; a dancer dances, always.
Fundamentals are the second priority. "Exceptional foresight"
the first. They're just back, and dancing. Let's them dance
until the torrid but still tepid tune stops all of a sudden.
...Now can you hear him, sir? Mr. Cleese reads a line again:
"But investors' enthusiasm could yet be tested by a further
round of (alas) bad news."
...Very G. This time he's doing the Silly Walk, as he reads it.
No stock market can hold onto an advance without consumer buying to give business evermore profit; but the consumer is presently over his head in debt, so where comes this needed spending by the consumer? Save the banks, save Wall Street, but to what avail when the consumer is flat broke...
Where did I read that there are five stages of social development: Slavery, Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism, then Communism? If this is true, I wonder which stage we are graduating into now? Hmmm...
ricecake -
Just watched that video - it is excellent !
I, thoroughly, recommend it to all readers. Thanks for pointing us to it.
"It is not necessary to hope, in order to persevere."
"Commercial property may also give investors as many headaches as residential. One of Boston's most notable buildings, the John Hancock Tower, recently sold at a foreclosure auction for $660m. In 2006 it was bought for $1.3 billion."
So who are those who pocked the 1.3 billion with which 50% are pure profit? They must be laughing very hard in the dark everyday since then.
Subtract the part of the wealth that is bubble, Many obviously have been benefitted from the bubble and the crisis. Now those people are hoarding their gains of ill-gotten or otherwise in cash? Gold? It's not difficult to see them waiting like hungry wolves in the dark for their next best chance to come out for another kill. Assuming the whole economic thing will be collapsing in no time so they can pick their cherries at literally no cost. May be? As we speak now, they may be even doing their little dirty trick to make the whole economic thing collapse
The smart players and the certain money men who got filth rich brought down the system are the winners over and over again. The dumb investors, pensioners, tax payers, and the well behaved responsible consumers are the losers. So it seems.
As for those irresponsible consumers who defaulted, are default, will be default, they are the free loaders contribute in bring down the system. Therefore they are also benefited from this mess and therefore they are the small winners.
Companies going out of business every month, others laying off staff and eliminating dividends, sales down 25% or more - yep, perfect time for stock prices to rise. This is just the beginning of the fall of capitalism. I, for one, won't miss it.
why are you shilling for Morgan Stanley ?
Their european strategist made great calls indeed. Please!
It does make one feel good when one reads simple factual data written by a fine hand guided by an intelligent mind. Thank you for the satisfaction I feel when I encounter at least one person who stays within the limits of sanity and sense.
Were more writers to eschew the Obama conga line of "Hope, Hope, Live in Hope" and settle on and act on these and similar facts, there might be actual hope for the future. Obama leads us to another Boom and Bust. This article leads us to growth in time.
One indicator that things are turning up is that the minimum wage will increase by 10.7% on July 24th. Either that will lead to another million plus job losses or will cause a 5% jump in consumer spending. I am a PhD economist and my guess is on the job losses. Only Congress knows for sure - LOL!
the valuations have not fallen as low as they did in .com/sept 11 downturn even though the economy is a lot worse, you only know the bottom of a market after a year or two of an upturn

With summer about to kickoff, I just couldn't resist making another variety of ooey gooey bars! The days are getting longer, the temps are rising and the kids have less than 20 days of school left. We are so excited for summer and are making plans for our summer vacations. There will also be so many barbecues, picnics and parties. These Red, White and Blue Ooey Gooey Bars are the perfect for summer celebrations, especially Memorial Day and the 4th of July!
These sound like such a yummy treat!! Love the cake + marshmallow + crispy treat combo!
I seriously LOVE these Tonia! And I know my kiddos would too So fun!
These are so attractive and look good enough to grab and eat right off the page!
I'm missing something though. If they're too hard to cut with a cookie cutter right out of the refrigerator but will squish the marshmallow fluff out if you let them warm up – how do you get them into the star shape?
These are SO perfect for summer! Love all your gooey bar variations….now I need to try them!!!!
These are so freakin' adorable! You are so creative lady!
I'm sure my grandchildren will love them, thank you! A Blessed & Happy Mother's Day to you Tonia
You are on the ball! …let me say that I was about to tell you how prepared you are for July 4 only to stop myself because I realized it's Memorial day that is coming up. Obviously applicable for both! And super delicious and cute looking.
