Let's see - then if we give NASA Ames 2 trillion taxpayer dollars, we'll solve the budget deficit with all that economic impact....
If you could grow your economy through government spending, Greece would be on top of the world.
With that said, if you're going to spend government money then it does make sense to put it into infrastructure and research, since both of those have the potential for long-term economic payoff. So NASA Ames is not necessarily bad - but the report of its impact is either ludicrously oversold or so poorly reported to be meaningless.

One-Third Of 2011 Ford F-150 Pickups Sold With EcoBoost V-6
MPGs matter, it turns out, even to pickup buyers. Or, perhaps especially to pickup truck buyers.
Just four months after Ford launched a version of its top-selling 2011 F-150 pickup truck, the company reports that fully 35 percent of that model's sales are fitted with the more fuel-efficient 3.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine.
"The No. 1 unmet need for full-size pickup truck owners has been fuel economy," said Doug Scott, marketing manager for the Ford Truck Group. He said the 2011 Ford F-150 now has "best-in-class fuel economy, best-in-class capability and power, and more powertrain choices."
Ford has vowed that it will deliver best-in-class fuel economy in all of its new products.
The version of the EcoBoost engine used in the Ford F-150 pickup raises the truck's fuel efficiency to 17 mpg city, 23 mpg highway, for a combined rating of 19 mpg.
That's 12 percent better than the most economical V-8 offering, the 5.0-liter engine, which the EPA rates at 15 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, and 17 mpg combined.
A rise from 17 to 19 mpg may not sound very impressive. But in fact, it saves almost two-thirds of a gallon of gasoline every 100 miles, the same amount as raising the gas mileage of a smaller car all the way from 38 to 50 mpg.
That's because miles-per-gallon isn't a linear scale, and actually confuses a majority of car buyers. But we'll leave that discussion for another time.
Many pickup trucks get driven more miles each year than passenger cars, and for those trucks, the fuel savings and reduction in tailpipe emissions are even higher.
Ford's line of EcoBoost engines uses gasoline direct injection and turbocharging to extract more power from a smaller displacement. The company says its 3.5-liter EcoBoost V-6 (fitted to the Ford Taurus SHO and Flex models, and the Lincoln MKS and MKZ) offers the performance of a V-8 with fuel efficiency up to 20 percent better.
The company's EcoBoost lineup will expand over the next few years. It will launch a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine in its Ford Edge and Lincoln MKX models, though release dates have not yet been set. And there are even smaller EcoBoost fours to come, though they will be used first for models sold in Europe.

Hi BEAUTIES! I'm back with a "Miami" inspired outfit look today! So many people are traveling at the moment and whether you're going somewhere chilly or sunny I thought I'd share some quick and easy pattern inspiration that I absolutely love! Quick bit about myself, I'm really a chill type of girl when it comes to style! Don't get me wrong I love fashion and all the cool trends but this look is more of a "everyday" outfit for me. If you asked to fit myself into one specific style category I would say comfort AND cute pieces are always my go-to choices, CASUAL/CHIC if you will.
Today's look is from two Simplicity Patterns, 8177 PANT, 8128 TOP. I reviewed the top pattern for you below, since I have reviewed the 8177 pattern twice before, HERE, and HERE. The run-down on that one is I love the entire pattern contents, I cut a size 10 in the pants and the fabric is a stretch woven from Joann stores. I made no alterations. I'm filming a new Fabric Haul video for my YouTube CHANNEL so I'll keep today's post short. Have a fabulous day, enjoy the outfit and simplicity top review below! See you soon! 😉
Pattern Description: Two piece dress includes top with sleeve & length variations, skirt with waist options allowing you to create a look that shows more, less or no midriff. Choose the top length & skirt waist height that works for you. – SIMPLICITY 8128.
Pattern Sizing: 6 -14, I cut a size 8.
Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were done sewing with it? Yes!
Were the instructions easy to follow? Very easy. This is a no fuss pattern, great for an absolute beginner who wants to learn.
What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? I love the wide hem, I have never sewn a 3″ hem at the bottom of a crop top but I'm happy with the affect it gives. Also love the cute little tie closure at the back neck! 🙂
Fabric Used: Lightweight denim from JO-ANN FABRIC.
Pattern alterations or any design changes you made: None.
Would you sew it again? Would you recommend it to others? Yes and yes, this top is easy to whip up on days when you want a quick top. I think it would look fabulous in a bold print as well.

Optimize your Linux rig for top-notch writing
I'm a big fan of Scott Nesbitt's writing, which has a technological bent, but is usually more about working effectively, rather than how tools can make you effective, which is a key distinction. Scott's setup reflects his focus on production rather than tweaking. He has his work tools and everything else is pretty much white noise—which is why LXDE/Lubuntu probably makes a lot of sense for his workflow.
It's simple and it stays out of his way. Scott also gets bonus points for moving his family to Linux. That's a tough move, but given that his wife stole his ZaReason laptop, the conversion seems to have taken.

You've earned a degree in one of the natural sciences with a minor in criminology, or maybe you've received a certificate in forensic science or crime scene investigation from a local community college. You're ready to go to work, but you have no idea where to look for a job in forensic science. Now what?

If anyone told you that a forensic science career was a sure thing, they lied. While the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics expects there to be better-than-average job growth in the area of forensics and crime scene investigation, popular television shows such as CSI have fostered an increased interest in the field. Some fear the increased interest in crime scene investigation is flooding the job market with candidates, making it harder to find jobs.

Read more about other consequences of the CSI Effect

Finding a job in forensic science can be hard, but it's not impossible. Jobs are out there. You just to know where to look. You also have to be flexible. Understand that there is a possibility that you may have to move to get the job you want or need. Rest assured, though, that with patience and diligence, you'll be able to find a rewarding career.

Top Forensic Science Job Sites

To help get your feet on the ground and get started on your career search, here are a few of the best sites for finding forensic science and crime scene investigation jobs:

American Academy of Forensic Science: The American Academy of Forensic Science is made up of people who work within all facets of the forensics discipline, including forensic psychologists, criminalists and criminologists, professors, and forensic science technicians. Most useful for those looking for careers in forensic science, though, is the academy's online job listings, featuring employment opportunities all over the United States.

Crime Scene Investigator Network: The crime scene investigator network website maintains an active list of jobs in crime scene investigation across the country. Simply go to the employment section to see all of the employment opportunities available. There is also a forum to ask questions of people who are actively working in the field.

International Association for Identification: Founded in 1915, the International Association for Identification claims to be the oldest forensic science association in the world. The association's website contains helpful information on training, history and current trends. Most importantly, though, it contains a page dedicated to job listings in forensics. The listings aren't as numerous as some other sites, but the opportunities are up to date.

Forensic Magazine: Forensic Magazine is an online and printed media publication that explores trends and technology in the field of forensic science. While its primary focus is on technology, product reviews, and recommendations, the magazine has a section for job listings. You can even sort job listings by specialties, such as forensic engineering or linguistics. Pay close attention to the start and end date on the job postings. The site is kept up to date and postings are continuously added, but some of the ads are older and may have closed by the time you see them.

The American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors: As the name implies, the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors was formed to keep managers and administrators apprised of trends within forensics and criminal justice. Fortunately for job seekers, though, the society also features employment opportunities. The jobs listed are a mixed bag of specialized, entry-level and management positions. It may be an especially useful site for those looking to advance their career or move up the chain.

Indeed.com: An old standby in job search sites, Indeed.com features a comprehensive job search that allows users to find careers by location, job type, salary, or all of the above. Using a keyword search, Indeed.com allows job seekers to find exactly what they're looking for. A quick search for forensics can yield more than 2,000 possibilities.

Career Builder: Very much like Indeed, Career Builder offers keyword searches and advanced search features that allow people looking for jobs to search by salary or location.

Important Considerations When Looking for Forensic Science Careers

It's important to remember that online job sites are not the be all, end all of job searching. They're a great starting point to get a feel for what's out there, but they should not be the only tool on your duty belt. Remember to apply the keys to job search success: networking, cold calling, informational interviews, and perseverance.

When using online job boards, don't forget to look closely at the opening and closing dates; some job advertisements tend to hang around on the Internet long after they've been filled. Also, take the time to tweak your resume to make sure your qualifications match the job you're going for.

With the right combination of diligence and patience, all of your hard work will soon pay off, leading you to a fun and rewarding career in crime scene investigation. Stay focused on the job search, and you'll be working in forensic science in no time.

FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (WSVN) - A twin-engine plane crash landed at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport, Wednesday morning.
According to Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue, crews arrived at the airport, at around 11:30 a.m., to find a Beech BE-18 twin-engine aircraft, which had two people inside, that made a rough belly landing.
The plane's landing gear collapsed after the aircraft landed, according to the Federal Aviation Administration. "It flew around and determined, before landing, that the gear was not coming down," said plane enthusiast Mitchell Faine.
Officials received a call about the plane. "We did receive an alert too that a plane was having some type of distress," said Gregory Maye with Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue. "Typically when that happens, the plane will do a couple flybys, and they'll kinda look to see what's going on."
"The control tower was able to speak with the pilot and determined they're not locked, that's when they came in," Faine said.
The plane caught fire upon landing, but officials quickly extinguished the flames. "That's when our crash truck, which is on site here, Truck 53 responded out. The plane was on fire," Maye said.
Officials shut down Runway Nine as fire rescue sprayed the plane with foam.
The control tower sent out a radio message shortly after.
The company, which routinely takes supplies to the Bahamas, is investigating to figure out why the incident occurred. "Definitely lucky. It's a good plane," Faine said. "It is a very historic aircraft. I believe it's the one that is similar to the one that Amelia Earhart was lost in. I'm hoping it has a chance to fly once again."
No injuries to the two people on board have been reported.

- Spacious backseat (for a convertible)
- Cargo space
- Acceleration with 350C
- Good ride quality
- Competitive price
- Conservative styling
- No throttle blipping or rev-matching
- 250C's engine feels overwhelmed
Can't make up your mind between practicality and performance in a convertible? The 2010 Lexus IS 350C is a nice, sporty middle ground for top-down thrills.
The 2010 Lexus IS C is the second convertible model to come from Lexus and the first time the brand has offered a more compact, affordable luxury drop-top. The model isn't as overtly sporty and compromised as a roadster—thanks to a real backseat and an excellent folding hardtop—but it's more exciting than "cruiser" convertibles.
While it shares many features with the IS sedans, the IS C's silhouette is very different from the sedans, and nearly all of its panels are unique. The IS-C isn't as drop-dead gorgeous as the upcoming Audi A5 ragtop or as purposeful as the BMW 3-Series Convertible. It has the same rakish hoodline and assertive stance as the IS sedan from the front, but from the side and back it appears a little plain and conservative. The look could even be called out as a bit too slab-sided from the doors back through the rear fenders. Inside, it's a similar tale; the IS C's cabin isn't stunningly beautiful, but it's attractive. Its instrument panel is almost identical to that in the IS sedans. Fortunately, you won't find a complicated interface like BMW's iDrive or Audi's MMI; that leaves a few more buttons and a little more clutter, but most will be happy with the trade-off. A few flamboyant two-tone color choices for the interior break from the straitlaced look, but not all are so well coordinated.
The sporty but conservative appearance carries through to the way the 2010 IS C drives, but it's by no means boring. Handling is a strong point; the IS C steers and handles with way more verve than lesser cruisers like the Toyota Solara, Pontiac G6, or Chrysler Sebring, and it surely trumps better-dressed front-drivers like Volvo C70 and Volkswagen Eos for poise in the corners. TheCarConnection.com unequivocally recommends the IS 350C over the IS 250C. The smooth 204-horsepower, 2.5-liter V-6 in the Lexus IS 250 sedan has little more than adequate power in the IS sedan, but the extra 300 pounds or so of the IS C leaves it feeling sluggish, whether with the notchy six-speed manual (offered only in the 250) or excellent six-speed automatic. The Lexus IS 350C gets the 306-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 and a complete change of character, with brisk acceleration, though the experience is still rather sedate; the six-speed automatic responds well but doesn't bring out the performance character. The left paddle shifter just behind the steering wheel commands a temporary downshift in Drive or a lasting one if you pull the shift knob over to the left, but in either case, there's no throttle-blipping or rev-matching as on many newer performance models. Braking ability is strong, but the pedal feel isn't as firm as some might expect from a sporty coupe. Overall, the Lexus IS C models are almost high-performance cars in many respects, though they don't quite stand up to the top rivals like the BMW 3-Series.
The piece de resistance of the Lexus IS C is its retractable hardtop arrangement. The hardtop is a home run, as it's made of lightweight aluminum, folds into three neat sections, and forms a tight, weatherproof barrier from weather and noise. It's fast (opening or closing in around 20 seconds), yet one of the smoothest-actuating of any we've experienced. With the top stowed, wind buffeting is quite good, and it's even better with the available windscreen.
Seating and cargo are the IS C's strengths. Top up or down, the IS C has more of a spacious feel inside than most might expect—especially in back. While the seats in front are well proportioned and comfortable for daily driving, with a slimmer-seatback design that aids rear legroom, they won't hold you in place in corners like the aggressively bolstered sport seats in the high-performance IS-F. The two seats in back are real ones—not just a bench for kids, as in some convertibles—and two normal-size adults will be just fine for a few hours. Getting in and out isn't a big deal either; a simple rocker switch powers the seat forward and then back to the original position. This 6'6" editor even fit in the backseat with knees splayed apart; it should be noted that rear headroom is tight in back with the top up, though. The tall, wide side sills, rather tall doors, and tall roll hoops in back help impart a feeling of security; however, the high beltline around to the decklid could give smaller rear occupants a bathtub feel. Everyone gets a cup holder, and there are plenty of smaller cubbies. Interior trims aren't anything special in appearance of feel, but the perforated, ventilated leather seats (optional) are a boon to comfort. Trunk space is vast with the top up, and there's still enough space for weekend bags with the top stowed away.
The Lexus IS Convertible is a new model and hasn't yet been crash-tested, but we'll keep you posted as results are available. The IS sedan receives a mix of four- and five-star ratings from the federal government and a noteworthy five-star rollover rating. From that, the IS C's body has been braced and strengthened throughout, so we expect it to do at least as well; in addition to the stouter side sills, the doors receive additional reinforcements, and the underbody has additional welds and bracing that aid handling and safety. Seat-mounted side airbags are standard, as is Lexus' advanced VDIM stability system. A Pre-Collision System is on the options list.
Feature content is similar between the 2010 Lexus IS 250C and IS 350C. Lexus makes plenty of high-tech options available, such as Intuitive Park Assist, Adaptive Front Lighting with bi-xenon headlamps, and a voice-activated navigation system. Both the sound system and the climate control system automatically change their operation depending on whether the top is up or down. Aside from factory options, also of note is what's offered for the IS C in a new line of F Sport dealer-installed accessories. There, for a somewhat high price, buyers can spice up the IS C's appearance with wheel upgrades and special trims, add a more vocal exhaust, or upgrade the suspension and brakes.
2010 Lexus IS 250C
The 2010 Lexus IS C is neither stunning nor gorgeous—"understated" would be a better way to describe it.
Like most vehicles in the Lexus lineup, the 2010 Lexus IS C range of convertibles is unremarkable in its execution. Its styling won't inspire much emotion, but at least there will be few negative reactions to the look of the Lexus IS C.
The 2010 Lexus IS C is an "entry-level luxury convertible," according to Autoblog, and it features what Lexus calls "the world's fastest opening three-piece metal hardtop." Reviews read by TheCarConnection.com contain muted reaction to the new 2010 Lexus IS C's exterior appearance; Motor Trend says "you'll recognize the C as a member of the IS family, yet every body panel save the hood is new." Exterior styling elements on the Lexus IS 250C and 350C include "a rising belt line that leads back to an elongated rear decklid," which Kelley Blue Book asserts "improves trunk space but results in a vehicle that is actually longer than its sedan counterpart." Car and Driver reviewers observe that the 2010 Lexus IS C "varies not a nanometer from the established Lexus path," as the overall look suggest a "sedan that has met the hacksaw." Edmunds effectively summarizes reviewer sentiment regarding the Lexus IS C, noting "it's attractive enough in an inoffensive way, but you wouldn't say that it has any real strength of character."
One of the more impressive interior elements of the 2010 Lexus IS 250C and 350C is the fact that, as Motor Trend says, "the headliner covers everything," leaving "not a brace or strut visible inside" despite the mechanicals that underpin the folding hardtop. The layout of the Lexus IS C's interior is "modern and attractive," according to Kelley Blue Book, but "the instrument panel features many similarly colored shapes and controls," which can cause some confusion. Edmunds chooses to ignore this minor flaw, instead describing the Lexus IS C's interior as a "well-crafted cockpit." The one flaw that does come up repeatedly in reviews read by TheCarConnection.com is the fact that some of the instruments can wash out in the sunlight, but overall the interior matches the exterior—pleasant, inoffensive, and largely unremarkable.
2010 Lexus IS 250C
Performance in the 2010 Lexus IS C is extraordinarily good compared to cruiser convertibles, but it's not quite as sharp and well honed as rivals like the BMW 3-Series.
The new ad campaign for the 2010 Lexus IS C might try and convince you that the Lexus IS C is a sports convertible (not that anyone's really sure what the 15-second spots are trying to convey), but don't be fooled—as TheCarConnection.com's editors point out, this is no BMW.
The two variants of the Lexus IS C are distinguished first and foremost by their unique powertrains. Car and Driver says "the engine choices—a 204-hp, 2.5-liter V-6 and a 306-hp, 3.5-liter V-6-are identical to the IS sedan's," but the added weight of the Lexus IS C makes them somewhat less exciting in this application. In the Lexus IS 250C, Autoblog reports that 0-60 mph "arrives in an estimated 8.4 seconds—only a half second slower than the sedan…but from the driver's seat, it feels far slower than Lexus' claimed five-tenths." The 3.5-liter in the 2010 Lexus IS 350C is somewhat more capable, however, as Motor Trend notes that "Lexus claims 0-60 in 5.8 sec, which feels right." Regardless of which option you choose, Autoblog feels that "this convertible is made for the boulevard" and not the drag strip.
The Lexus IS C lineup can claim an enthusiast-oriented manual transmission, but it's only available with the Lexus IS 250C. Autoblog reviewers state that the less-powerful model "is available with either a six-speed manual or automatic, and [the] IS 350C is packaged exclusively...with the self-shifting six-speed." The automatics do come with paddle shifters on the steering wheel, but Jalopnik says they are more or less unnecessary, since "the canned programming does an admirable job of predicting your intentions." The manual isn't quite so well received; Edmunds feels "the sloppy linkage makes you think of a Mustang V6 rental car from the 1990s," and many reviewers recommend opting for the automatic.
One area where the 2010 Lexus IS C remains competitive with its German counterparts is in terms of fuel economy, especially in Lexus IS 250C trim. According to the official EPA estimates, the 2010 Lexus IS 250C should get 18 mpg city and 26 mpg highway with the manual transmission, while the automatic boasts a 21/29 rating. The 2010 Lexus IS 350C, meanwhile, delivers a respectable 18 mpg city and 25 mpg on the open road.
The Lexus IS C can't quite hang with most sports convertibles in the acceleration department, but it really begins to fall behind when it comes to handling. Autoblog reviewers feel it's pretty easy to tell that Lexus's tuning "emphasized luxury over sport," as "both the steering and handling felt like they were set on 'shopping.'" Car and Driver agrees the Lexus IS C isn't a canyon carver, claiming you feel the convertible's extra weight "in corners where this weighty ship rolls and porpoises a bit more than the sedan." The flip side of the less aggressive suspension tuning is that the Lexus IS C offers a soft and supple ride, with Motor Trend labeling the car "supple without being mushy." When it comes time to stop, Jalopnik reports that the optional F-Sport brakes provide "snappy stops" thanks to the "giant cross drilled brakes" included with the package.
2010 Lexus IS 250C
Comfort & Quality
Seating is the strength of this convertible; compared to most other ragtop or hardtop models, the 2010 Lexus IS C offers a roomier, more refined experience.
Although the 2010 Lexus IS C lineup has two fewer doors than its sedan counterpart, the coupe/convertible is actually a larger car. The reason for this is that Lexus wanted the IS C to feature a usable trunk, even with the top down, and to provide ample amounts of rear seat passenger room. While the Lexus IS C succeeds in accomplishing the latter, its success with the former is debatable.
Passengers inside the new 2010 Lexus IS C lineup will surely be surprised at the amount of space afforded by the capacious interior, especially up front. Jalopnik reports that the front seats, which are "unique to the convertible," get a "thinner frame to maximize rear legroom," and Edmunds asserts that the seats "offer support without making a point of it." The rear passenger area houses two seats divided by a center console, and unlike with some coupes and convertibles, reports read by TheCarConnection.com show that the rear seat is actually livable. Motor Trend reviewers feel it's possible "to pack a pair of adults in back for moderate jaunts," but Kelley Blue Book warns that "normal-sized adults may find them too confining for longer journeys." Compared to the IS sedan, Autoblog says the Lexus IS C suffers from "five inches less leg room, eight inches less shoulder room, and ten inches less hip room" in the back, though "it's not as bad as it might sound—if the driver isn't an NBA guard…a person of average height will be fine for a local trip."
One of the benefits of the extended length of the 2010 Lexus IS C as compared with the sedan is that it allows for a modicum of trunk space even with the hardtop stowed. Autoblog has measured that, "with the top up, you get 10.8 cubic feet of space" in the trunk, while "with the top down, you'll have 2.36 cubic feet to work with." Motor Trend reviewers are quick to point out that the Lexus IS 250C and 350C models have "more trunk volume than do many retractables," but ConsumerGuide cautions that "cabin storage on both body styles is mediocre."
Lexus might be trying to undercut the competition in terms of price, but that doesn't mean they're willing to sacrifice when it comes to quality. Car and Driver isn't surprised to learn "the IS convertible features Lexus fit and finish," while Jalopnik feels that "everything from the leather to the most inconsequential switches are top notch." ConsumerGuide agrees, giving the 2010 Lexus IS C high marks for its "rich-looking upholstery, soft-touch surfaces, and high-grade plastics."
A hardtop convertible has both pros and cons when compared to a cloth retractable, but one of the biggest pluses is that a hardtop is significantly better at providing a quiet cabin environment with the top up. ConsumerGuide describes the wind noise as "modest, and wind rush isn't intrusive top-down in the convertibles at highway speeds." Other reviewers offer similar assessments, with Motor Trend claiming that, "with the top up, there's nary a squeak or creak from the top—impressive—and minimal windnoise." Overall, the Lexus IS 250C and 350C convertibles are very quiet and refined at cruising speeds.
2010 Lexus IS 250C
A reinforced body structure, plus all the expected safety features, means the 2010 Lexus IS C is no slouch in protection.
The 2010 Lexus IS C convertible lineup boasts top-notch safety features inside and out. Although the Lexus IS C has not yet been crash tested, it offers enough to keep most consumers satisfied even without the attendant test scores.
The 2010 Lexus IS 250C and 350C haven't yet undergone IIHS or NHTSA crash tests, but the IS sedan on which they are based scores an acceptable mix of four- and five-star ratings. TheCarConnection.com's editors also point out that the 2010 Lexus IS C is strengthened above and beyond the standard IS sedan, so the scores should come in somewhat higher for the convertible. Stay tuned to TheCarConnection.com for the latest updates on the Lexus IS C's crash-test scores.
Inside the Lexus IS 250C and 350C, drivers will find a long list of standard safety features working in concert to keep all occupants safe. Kelley Blue Book states that "standard safety features include anti-lock disc brakes, stability control, traction control, front airbags and seat-mounted airbags that protect the head and torso of front-seat occupants." Convertibles present a slew of additional safety problems when the top is down, but Edmunds reports that "a pop-up rollover bar behind the rear seats adds a dimension of safety, as do lateral beams behind and below the rear seats." In short, Lexus appears to have done everything right when it comes to safety features on the 2010 Lexus IS C lineup.
The Lexus IS 250C and its quicker brother the 350C both afford drivers a tremendous amount of visibility, especially with their tops down. ConsumerGuide says that visibility from within the convertibles is "far better to the rear corners" than on the sedans, "thanks to fold-down rear headrests and narrow roof pillars." Kelley Blue Book adds that "outward visibility is decent with the top raised and enhanced by rear headrests that flip down with the pull of a lever placed within reach of the driver." Whether the top is up or down, however, visibility directly behind the car can be compromised during parking-lot maneuvers. Fortunately, Kelley Blue Book reports that a "back-up camera" and "front and rear parking sensors" are available on the entire Lexus IS C lineup.
2010 Lexus IS 250C
Plenty of high-tech factory options, plus a new line of dealer-installed performance accessories, mean you'll be able to get almost all the features you want on the 2010 Lexus IS C.
Like any Lexus worth its price tag, the 2010 Lexus IS C lineup gets a full range of high-tech features, some standard and many optional. The Lexus IS C lineup is also priced very competitively, and when you consider the cost of a car like the Lexus IS 250C, you'll realize it's a true luxury bargain.
The inherent differences between a convertible like the 2010 Lexus IS C and the standard IS sedan lineup require several changes to the car's features, and reviews read by TheCarConnection.com show that Lexus engineers have risen to the challenge. Motor Trend reports that one example is in the audio volume tuning, as the Lexus IS C's "audio system volume adjustments are reprogrammed when the top is down, and the HVAC system knows to deliver more air." The audio system similarly "alters the equalization for the top being up or down," according to reviewers at Kelley Blue Book. Reviewers there add that, "in terms of entertainment, the [2010 Lexus] IS C features an eight-speaker audio system with six-disc CD changer, satellite radio and a USB interface for portable music players." One new feature for the Lexus IS 250C and 350C convertibles is a revised heating system, which Autoblog says offers "increased ventilation for cooling, and the heating elements have been included in the seat shoulders – good stuff for when the top is down in chilly weather."
In order to keep the base price for the entry-level Lexus IS 250C below the competition, Lexus has had to make many features optional instead of standard. Fortunately, Kelley Blue Book says that, for convenience, "many of the options offered for the Lexus IS C are bundled in the Luxury Package, which includes rain-sensing wipers, heated and ventilated front seats with memory, HID adaptive front lighting and semi-aniline leather trim."
Although the IS C isn't offered with the powertrain or go-fast hardware of the blazingly quick Lexus IS F sedan, it's inspired "a line of F-Sport performance accessories" that Car and Driver says include "forged 19-inch wheels, a cold-air intake, a cat-back exhaust," and a "short-throw shifter" for the Lexus IS 250C with the manual transmission. Last but not least, TheCarConnection.com's research shows that a navigation system can be optioned onto the Lexus IS C lineup, and Autoblog reports that it "uses an auto-fill feature like predictive text," and has a system that allows for "voice commands [to] be more informal (e.g. "Call Bob at home")."

Ran xf86cfg thru strace, the last few lines of strace says: stat64("/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/linux/", 0xbfffda7c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) stat64("/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers", 0xbfffda7c) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) --- SIGSEGV (Segmentation fault) --- +++ killed by SIGSEGV +++ What part of the installation process should these directories be created? My setup is currently missing the drivers directory. TIA, Alan. -- alan at alangarrison dot com "Tuesday is 'Human Sacrifice Day' at the Sizzler." - Joel R.
