WALTHAM, Mass. – The Brandeis University women's basketball team defeated the visiting University of Rochester Yellowjackets, 62-49, snapping a seven-game University Athletic Association (UAA) losing streak in the process. The Judges move to 8-12 overall, 2-7 in the UAA, while UR falls to 15-5, 7-2 UAA.
With the game tied at 25-25 at halftime, Rochester's Jackie Walker (Ann Arbor, Mich./Greenhills) scored the first hoop of the second half. Brandeis answered with the next six points of the game and never trailed again. Junior Kasey Dean (Southbury, Conn./Pomperaug) tied the game with a midrange jumper and classmate Janelle Rodriguez (Peabody, Mass./Peabody Veterans) hit the next two buckets to give Brandeis a 31-27 lead they would not relinquish.
Brandeis looked to pull away for good at the 15:32 mark, when rookie guard Samantha Mancinelli (Durham, Conn./Coginchaug Regional) hit a jumper and a 3-pointer on back-to-back possessions. After both sides had a long scoreless drought, senior Courtney Ness (Norwich, Vt./Hanover, N.H.) hit her lone bucket of the game making it a 41-32 lead for the Judges at the 12:39 mark.
UR would score eight of the next 11 points, the last six coming from junior center Lauren Wagner (Traverse City, Mich./Traverse City West). Wagner's two free throws at the 8:17 mark got the 'Jackets to within 44-40, but four different Judges scored the game's next seven points to push the lead back to 11 and they never looked back.
Brandeis's defense was outstanding down the stretch, holding the visitors to just 3-of-17 shooting over the final nine minutes of action. They also forced six turnovers in that span. Meanwhile, the Judges hit 5-of-10 from the field and did not commit any turnovers.
For the game, Rodriguez led all scorers with 13 points, 11 coming in the second half, when she hit 5-of-7 from the floor to finish at 6-of-11 for the game. Dean joined her in double figures with 10 points, six in the second half. Mancinelli and junior forward Nicolina Vitale (Clinton Township, Mich./Chippewa Valley) each had eight points off the bench.
Senior Samantha Anderson (Johnsonville, N.Y./Hoosic Valley) led Brandeis with nine rebounds, while sophomore Hannah Cain (Gloucester, Mass./Gloucester) had seven. The Judges had 15 offensive boards to 22 for UR, but Brandeis was able to convert theirs into 22 second chance points, compared to just 10 for the visitors. Senior forward Erika Higginbottom (Millbury, Mass./Worcester Acad.) had a game-high four assists, with Cain and Dean adding three each as the Judges had 14 helpers on 24 buckets. Brandeis shot 42.9% from the floor (24-56), their highest percentage in nearly a month.
Dean also led Brandeis's defensive charge with five steals, a career-high, as the Judges forced 19 turnovers and finished with only 12, including just one in the second half. Brandeis owned a 21-6 scoring margin in points off turnovers. Their fine team defensive effort held UR to 26.7% from the field (16-60), just the third time all season they were below 30 percent.
UR was paced by sophomore Breanna Madrazo (Palos Verdes, Calif./Chadwick), who had 11 points, while Wagner finished with nine off the bench. Wagner just missed a double with 10 rebounds, while senior Amy Woods (Bala Cynwyd, Pa./Lower Merion) had a game-high 11 caroms and finished with seven points. The Yellowjackets converted just 3-of-23 from 3-point range for the game (13.0%) after hitting 41 percent in New York a week ago (5-12). With the loss, Rochester falls a game behind Emory atop the UAA standings.

These Bedwetting Pants are real waterproof nighttime underwear that are designed to help your child wake up with dry sheets. They come with 4 layers of microfiber absorbency built in, and fleece covered elastic legs and waist for a comfortable, and more leak resistent fit. Excellent for potty training transitional nights, or even for minor child enuresis. For heavy nighttime bedwetting, please add a step-up insert to them. This product can fit all the way up to 14 years old! These Bedwetting Pants (nighttime underwear) can usually handle most levels of wetters, although they may require additional absorbency, or to be changed once through the night. You can use one of our Step-up inserts, a diaper insert that you may already have, a wash rag folded in half or thirds, whatever it takes to add more absorbency in there. Some children can pee 16 oz at a time! Fill up a glass and take a look, that's a lot!
Will these nighttime underwear really work for me?Most likely, and here's why...Your Super Undies will last! We are committed to making a product that will stand the test of time. Our standard warranty covers all parts of the garment for 60 days, but beyond that Super Undies services their products. Pertinent pieces of the Super Undies pants can be repaired free of charge for the life of the product. This includes snaps and seams that may come undone. These bedwetting pants are going to absorb what you need them to! The Bedwetting Pants are constructed with two separate soaker pads of microfiber inside them, which is enough to hold up to 450 mL of fluid, but beyond that the undies have an internal system to receive even more absorption, so as much as you need is exactly what you can have! Bedwetting Pants are really waterproof nighttime underwear that are built to withstand leaksI know it may seem like a funny idea to have fleece edges at the legs and waist, but this is actually part of our secret weapon. The soft anti-pill fleece we use is water repellant - meaning that water not only does not go through it, but is actually blocked. This gives you an additional insurance policy against a leak that might be thinking about happening.
Super Undies offers support in your struggle to get through this bed wetting stuff. Maybe your child stopped peeing at night, but then started again weeks later when you thought you were done. Or maybe your Super Undies worked very well at first, but eventually started to leak. Or maybe they build up an odor. These problems are possible with any cloth absorbency system, whether it be a diaper, training pant or bed wetter pant. Well, Super Undies knows why, and there are a lot of factors to consider. We offer complete support in pressing that reset button and getting your used Super Undies back to optimum condition after months of use. Our support center is always available and manned by the owner herself. Why go with anything else when we are committed to helping you solve whatever problem you are having? Super Undies are a cost effective tool to help manage the time you will be dealing with bed wetting. No one knows how long it will last, and even if your second or third child will go through the same thing. Check out how cheap it is to use these Bedwetting Pants, even though $29.95 can seem like a bit of a sticker shock! Two packs of disposable undies a month can cost the $30.00 you'll spend on one of these, but that one pair can be washed with regular loads and be ready every night to use again! You'll get WAY more than a month of use out of these Bedwetting Pants!! Super Undies will make your child more economically and environmentally responsible. Since Super Undies are made in America, your child will be instantly, and fashionably, more patriotic (if you live in America too.) If you don't live in America, than you will still be happy to know that since your Super Undies are made in America, you are certainly not supporting any third world sweat shops or unethical labor practices, and that the garment you are receiving has not come into contact with any harmful substances or dioxins that could cause their workers a wide range of illnesses including infertility and various cancers. It might also ease your minds to know that our materials are sourced and made in America as well!

The economic downturn is eroding a decade's worth of improvements, advocacy group's director says.
Public health funding cuts are undermining programs that protect Americans from infectious disease outbreaks, bioterrorist attacks, and natural disasters, according to a Trust for America's Health report released on Tuesday.
"We've documented how preparedness has been on an upward trajectory" over the past 10 years, said Trust for America's Health director Jeff Levi. "But the economic crisis has changed the story. Now we're seeing a decade's worth of preparedness eroding in front of our eyes."
Funding reductions could affect preparedness gains made since 9/11, Levi said. The cuts could impede communities' ability to distribute vaccines, test for chemical and biological agents, and coordinate disaster response.
Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation assessed the nation's emergency infrastructure, and looked both at funding cuts so far and projections of future cuts. Future cuts include the mandatory reductions that could result from the failure of the deficit-reduction super committee to reach an agreement.
The report found that 40 states and D.C. have cut their public health funds this year, and 49,310 state and local public health department jobs have been lost since 2008. For some states, this was the second or even third straight year of funding reductions for public health emergency preparedness programs.
And deep federal cuts are looming: Fifty-one cities stand to lose bioterrorism preparedness funding, the 10 highest-level chemical testing labs in the country could lose their top-level status, and 24 states could lose the support of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention epidemiology experts, the report found.
"Really, our health security is dependent on this funding from the federal government," said Mel Kohn, director of the Oregon Public Health division. In Oregon, federal grant dollars have supported everything from tracking biological threats to training a reserve corps of emergency responders, Kohn said.
Projected federal budget cuts will impact every state in the nation, Levi said, although he noted that budget negotiations are ongoing and the details of sequestration may change. Public health departments can expect as much as 10 percent reductions in federal funding under sequestration, he said.
Levi named the National Center for Environmental Health and the Federal Emergency Management Agency as likely targets for cuts. He noted that the reauthorization of the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness Act caps spending at 2011 levels, which means that funding won't keep pace with inflation. "Without sufficient resources, many provisions amount to empty gestures," Levi said of the reauthorization.
Despite the gains made since 9/11, the nation's public health emergency response system still needs improving, the report found. The report's recommendations include improving electronic surveillance capability, boosting vaccine research and development, making sure hospitals have the capacity to deal with mass casualties, and coordinating with the Food and Drug Administration to protect the food supply.
The report's No. 1 recommendation: consistent funding for public health preparedness. Otherwise, states and communities can't develop the infrastructure and expertise they need to handle emergencies when they occur, Levi said. Levi pointed to Hurricane Katrina as an example of a botched government response that could happen again if public health programs don't get the support they need. "When the next disaster strikes, we may not be ready," he said.

Rangers pound Verlander, Tigers
Arlington, TX – A highly touted matchup between two of the most overpowering pitchers in baseball was cut short by the Texas Rangers, who pummeled Justin Verlander early to take a 10-4 win over the Detroit Tigers.
The Rangers, winners of seven of their last eight, broke the opener of this four-game set open with a seven-run third inning and Yu Darvish (7-1) battled through a rough start to go eight innings.
"After the second inning his pitch counts went down," said Texas manager Ron Washington about Darvish. "He didn't panic and gave us another solid start."
Darvish improved on his major league lead in strikeouts with six more on Thursday to push his total to 86 in nine starts this season. He was charged with four runs on seven hits.
It was a trying third inning for both starters, but especially for Verlander (4-4), who didn't make it out of the frame. He walked in a pair of runs before Geovany Soto's three-run blast topped off his start at 2 2/3 innings.
"I'm not going to go home and pout about this," said Verlander. "I've been doing this for a while now and I know what I need to do."
For Verlander, the leader in strikeouts in three of the last four seasons, it was his shortest outing in nearly three years, matching a career worst with eight runs allowed on six hits and two walks.
Texas received two hits and three RBI from Mitch Moreland as well as a solo blast from Nelson Cruz. Elvis Andrus, Lance Berkman and Adrian Beltre each knocked in a run in the victory.
Don Kelly and Jhonny Peralta each hit solo homers for Detroit, which has dropped six of its last nine contests.
After receiving a 3-1 lead, Verlander came completely unraveled. He quickly gave up a pair of singles before plunking Ian Kinsler to load the bases, then issued walks to Andrus and Beltre to force in two runs.
He recorded his second strikeout of the inning when he fanned Cruz, but then served up a two-run double to Moreland and Soto followed with his first homer of the season, a three-run shot into left to send Verlander packing and open up an 8-3 Rangers lead.
Peralta led off the fourth with a homer to cut the deficit to 8-4, but Darvish settled in from there. He retired 15 of the final 16 batters he faced, allowing just a single during the span.
Moreland drove home a run in the fifth with a double and Cruz's solo blast in the seventh capped the scoring.
Texas manufactured a run off Verlander in the first, with Kinsler starting the inning with a base hit and eventually coming around to score on a ground out from Berkman, but Detroit worked Darvish in the third to take the lead.
Darvish served up a leadoff homer to Kelly on his fifth of a 36-pitch inning. Ensuing singles from Omar Infante and Andy Dirks set runners at the corners and Torii Hunter sent the Tigers in front with a sac fly to right.
A double from Miguel Cabrera prompted an intentional walk to Prince Fielder to load the bases for Victor Martinez, whose sac fly to center produced a 3-1 edge for Detroit.
Game Notes
Verlander was 3-0 with a 1.29 ERA in four previous outings at Rangers Ballpark ... It was Verlander's shortest outing since June 22, 2010, when he lasted just two innings against the New York Mets ... Beltre had a seven-game hit streak snapped ... Kinsler was hit by a pitch for the 54th time in his career, tying Rafael Palmeiro for the franchise record.

How to Pick Classes and Professors
Posted: November 16th, 2008 under ace your academics.
Tags: academics, classes, professors
Considerations when choosing a course:
– Are the classes you picked interesting and rewarding? Do the course descriptions turn you on? (For BU's online catalog: http://www.bu.edu/bulletins/und/)
– Or did you pick them because they have easy professors? Or convenient timeslots? Or both, you lazy sloth? (Is your idea of education really sleeping in until 12 for an easy class that doesn't take attendance—which means you can skip and actually sleep until 3? I see what you did there.)
– Do the classes have enjoyable readings and lecture topics? Are they even relevant to the course title? (Sometimes I'm not sure what my prof was smoking.) You can usually find info about this through old syllabi (either from a friend or from the online syllabi archive). For BU's: http://courseinfo.bu.edu.
– Are you still "undecided" about your major but taking many classes in one department next semester? Are you absolutely positive you'll be heading in that direction in the future, that your gamble is worth it, and that next semester won't be as boring as watching a knitting race?
– Do you have AP credits for some courses? If so, when you register for some lower-level related classes, it could cancel your AP credits in a related subject. Check your course guide or ask your advisor to be sure.
– Can you fit a fun and social physical education class into your schedule? Do it. It's only one or two more hours of class per week and it's definitely worth it—especially if you meet someone hot. (What's hotter than a hot person getting physical in class? C'mon now.)
(For BU: Your tuition comes with up to 18 credits per semester. Your usual 4-class courseload will add up to 16, which means you can take up to 4 more half-credit classes or 2 more 1-credit classes. Just a small sample of BU's offerings: soccer, golf, skating, ballroom dance, hip hop, tap, ballet, swimming, scuba diving, sailing, tai chi, yoga, weight lifting, aerobics, kickboxing, CPR… you get the point. For a full list: http://www.bu.edu/academics/fitrec/courses/. To register for one, enter PDP into the course finder. But they don't have curling. Sorry, Canada.)
– Can you fit a regular 2-credit academic class into your schedule? They're usually easy on you, and the relatively light work to get an A or A- can boost your GPA. No, they're not slacker courses though. You'll still need to work a little. (For BU: Search CFA and SED. They always offer lots of cool 2-credit classes.)
– Are you allowed to overload and take an extra 4-credit class? Freshmen may not be allowed to. Also check if you can take 20 credits without paying more. Sometimes you need a certain GPA to overload for free before senior year.
– How many electives can you take before you graduate? Do you have time to take something completely random that you've always been curious about? Such as why bonobo chimps are constantly having sex? (I learned that in Cultural Anthropology. It was the defining moment in my college years.)
– Have you talked to your advisor about everything you weren't sure of? Do you even know who your advisor is?
Considerations when choosing professors:
– First and most importantly: are they hot? Do they have lots of chili peppers on http://ratemyprofessors.com? (For BU: Remember, we have the second hottest prof in the country. Obviously she teaches French. Brag to all your hometown friends. No, I'm really not kidding. Look her up on the RateMyProfessors homepage.)
– Second, do they have good academic ratings on http://ratemyprofessors.com? The general gist is USUALLY dependable enough, but don't trust individual ratings unless they seem fair and objective. Is there positive word-of-mouth about the prof too? Have your friends taken him? Can you use a Facebook Courses application to find the prof's current students and send a message to them to ask about specifics? Previous students will be more helpful than you'd think. And no, this is not creepy or awkward unless you think it is.
– Have you searched for your prof's description on her department website (something like http://bu.edu/psych)? Does she share your academic and research interests? Did she attend a grad school you want to attend?—she may be a good source of networking. Is her thesis interesting to you? (Knowing all this will also earn you tons of brownie points next semester.)
– Would she write a killer recommendation for you? Does she seem uber cool and fascinating? And again, is your professor hot?
– Is he famous? Has he won numerous awards? Does he publish an article every other day and even in his sleep? Is he the world's leading expert on something other than cheese? Will you be able to brag that you took a class with him? Just take him.
(Just a disclaimer: All my favorite professors were "no-names" who had the time to keep exchanging emails and even Facebook wall posts with me even years after class ended. While I learned lots in "famous" professor classes and was inspired to read a LOT of the professor's work, I was never mentored and given individual attention in these classes the way I was in classes taught by Professor Nobodys. Keep a nice balance between these two types of professors.)
Some of BU's most famous: Elie Wiesel (duh), Ray Carney (film scholar; leading expert on John Cassavetes and independent cinema; AMAZINGLY inspirational—I would recommend him!), Leslie Epstein (director of creative writing; his son Theo is the youngest general manager in MLB (Red Sox); his father and uncle wrote the Casablanca screenplay!), Robert Pinsky (former U.S. Poet Laureate), Osamu Shimomura (2008 Nobel Prize winner in chemistry)
– Has she won a teaching award at your university? She may not be famous, but she might be a more competent teacher than the famous ones. She can pinpoint your mistakes, explain concepts effectively, and inspire you. (For BU's award-winning professors: http://www.bu.edu/provost/resources/awards/metcalf/award.html and http://www.bu.edu/provost/resources/awards/metcalf/award-past.html)
– Have you googled him? (Who else thinks Google and Starbucks should merge and take over the world?)
– Have you searched for her books on http://amazon.com? Have you read her articles, publications, and previous work? Would you love to spend a whole semester talking to her about her work?
– Have you searched for his resume on http://linkedin.com?
– Last (and this is VERY important for changing bad grades): does your professor like cookies, brownies, and other assorted baked goods? Oh, and can you bake?
Very Random Things For Boston University Course Registration:
– When you register, type in your registration code ahead of time. Don't wait until your registration time to do that.
– Add all the classes you want to your planner. Even add all your backups. I've seen people add only 4 classes. Your planner can fit up to 30.
– When it's time to register, click "Register for Classes." Then click "Go" next to "search by planner." You'll register a lot faster than all the n00bs who manually type in all their course numbers individually.
– Just worry about registering for all the classes that are filling up real fast. Scramble to take those. Then, a minute later, register for the rest.
Options for Getting into the Full Class You Really Want Without Whining About It:
– Stalk your online registration site (for BU: StudentLink) twice a day every day during winter or summer break. I can almost guarantee someone will drop the class. This has worked EVERY semester for me.
– If the class has a lecture and a discussion, hold onto a discussion section if one is open. They're usually 0 credits. Now you just need to wait for the lecture to open up. (Some schools have policies against this.)
– Email the professor. Introduce yourself and demonstrate your interest in the class and the prof will probably agree to sign you in. Or even visit the prof's office hours. Or search for his current class times and find him right after a class.
– If the new semester starts and you still aren't registered, go to the class as if you're part of it. Absent students on the first day are usually dropped. You'll be able to take their spot. (Which also means if you'll be absent on the first day of class for a course you want to keep, make sure the absence is legit and that your prof knows about it! Otherwise someone could steal your precious class and hot professor! You DID choose classes based on hotness, right?)
– Have an upperclassman or someone with a better registration time hold a spot for you before the class gets full. Have him drop it at a coordinated awkward hour a few days after you register. (Some schools have policies against this.)
– Ask what your advisor can do about it.
– Settle on finding a different professor—one who might be less hot. It's okay. Personality counts too.

Dressing to impress for an interview can be a simple yet crucial factor in creating a great first impression at your potential workplace. It's not just what you wear, of course, that earns you respect with a future employer. Being prepared, keeping eye contact, and exuding confidence are key tips for securing a job during an interview. (For more tips on the do's and don'ts of interviews, check out my post on interview etiquette.) But there's still something to be said about dressing the part–and doing so in an appropriate, stylish manner. I've always believed that creating a great first impression can open doors and create opportunities you never knew were possible. Today I've put together a Style Guide to help you do just that. Whether you're interviewing for a fall internship or simply embarking on new journeys in your career, putting together the perfect outfit is a necessary ingredient in any recipe for success.
Before deciding what to wear, you need to do a little research about the company you will be meeting with. Typically depending on the field you can make a pretty good guess. Artistic jobs are typically more casual, while positions in areas such as banking require a more buttoned up, professional look. If you're still unsure after your research, err on the side of dressing professional. Appropriateness is also key. Be sure to read up on my Work Wear Commandments to help you know what's acceptable in the workplace and what's not. If in doubt, remember the Three C's: conservative, confident, and classy.
Most companies fall under three different categories of workwear. To help make these divisions a little more black and white, I've put together an exemplary outfit for each of these three categories below…
1. Casual. I know I've said it before, but formal dress doesn't necessarily mean success. Although dressing for an interview in a casual office does not mean you can wear whatever you want, there's also no need to go out and purchase a silk pantsuit either. Simply put your best foot forward in comfortable, conservative work attire. Casual offices tend to be creative environments, so you do have a little bit of freedom to express yourself through your clothes. Just kick it up one notch on the dressy-scale for an interview.
Elizabeth Cole Turquoise Howlite Pyramid Esme Stud Earrings ($95), ASOS Leather Portfolio Clutch With Metal Tip ($51.09), Intrude by Steve Madden ($90), J. Crew COLLECTION GRAPHIC-PRINT PANT (248), Dorothy Perkins Orange waterfall blazer ($69), Louche Jones Broderie Blouse (£20.00)
2. Business Casual. This middle-ground category of work attire is the trickiest to dress for, in my opinion. Some basic tips to keep in mind include avoid wearing denim, steer clear of crazy trends, and opt for closed-toe shoes for the interview. In a nutshell, keep your look pretty, polished, with professional touches.
Max & Chloe Yochi Emerald Rhinestone Statement Necklace ($145), EQUIPMENT Signature blouse ($226), Chrystie by Elizabeth and James sunglasses ($215), LC Lauren Conrad Platform Heels, BCBGeneration Julia Clutch ($74.10 – $78.00), H&M Skirt (£12.99)
3. Formal. If you discover that the company you're interviewing for is a buttoned-up, ultra conservative environment, you must follow a professional dress code. This doesn't mean you have to forgo fashion completely. Incorporating classic accessories (like a layered pearl necklace or a neutral, polka dot blouse) can add personality to your formal attire and set you apart from other interviewees. A few simple tips to follow include avoiding flashy colors, getting your items tailored, and keeping your hair and makeup clean and natural.
Bond in Pink Leather Clutch ($166), LC Lauren Conrad Pearl Drop Earrings, Delirious by Ciao Bella ($34.97), MICHAEL MICHAEL KORS LARGE DOT DRAPE SLEEVE BLOUSE ($160.88), Far Fetch MYTHS LOOSE FIT TROUSER ($90)
No matter where you're headed, this Style Guide should have you covered. And when in doubt, remember the Three C's.
Good luck everyone!
And be sure to check out my in-depth style guides for casual, business casual and professional dress codes.

The West Hamilton Beach Volunteer Fire Department was busy helping others in the aftermath of the storm, even though they suffered severe damage to their facility and equipment.
The department lost three fire trucks, two ambulances, and life-saving equipment in flooding. However, they still used their facility to provide community members with food and any help they could provide.
The firehouse had roughly six feet of water inside at one point. While the fire trucks sat inside, they were "smothered in water," according to Mitchell Udowitch, the fire department's treasurer.
"We had two ambulances in the firehouse that drown, along with a brush fire truck that suffered damages because it was outside during the storm," said Mitchell Udowitch, the department's treasurer.
Likewise, some of the members who reported for duty during the hurricane had their private vehicles destroyed. "We took a big hit," Udowitch said, "but the volunteer fire departments around the country came through for us."
Now the firehouse is getting little help of its own. Last week, management from Duane Reade/Walgreen's were at the fire department's headquarters at 102-33 Davenport Court to present a $25,000 donation.
Jonah Cohen, chief of the department, was thankful for the donation and praised the entire Howard Beach community for volunteering its time to help each other during hurricane relief efforts. "It's nice that people volunteer their time," he said. "It's not only us, but there are a lot of people in the community that volunteered."
He went on to say that while it's not official, the money will likely go to buying a new ambulance.
"Being part of the community, we understand the value the volunteer fire departments bring," said Greg Calvano, senior director of store operations for Duane Reade. "We're here to help people get well, stay well and live well, without the local officials and fire departments to help us keep our stores open we couldn't do that."
"This is very important, this saves lives," said Queens Borough President Helen Marshall. "This community is not safe without this fire department. They are doing something that is absolutely necessary."
"Many people in this community would have, unfortunately, not survived without the volunteer fire department," added Assemblyman Phil Goldfeder.

Design Issues
Design Issues
I am not going to be parking my $70K+ X anywhere within 2ft from other cars. Even if you can can exit the vehicle, the neighboring car's inmates wont be able to and a ding is imminent. For us, our garage (planned addition) will be pretty tight thanks to city regulations - so the falcon doors was a god send.
I grew up in the northeast. I've shoveled a lot of snow, broomed off a lot of cars, and waited patiently while cars warmed up enough to get all the ice off the windows. On rare occasions, passenger doors would be iced over. Usually, you can get in on one side and start the car to warm it up, then the other door will open.
Would the Falcon wing doors be an issue for me? Not really. Particularly if there was some sort of heating element that inhibited the doors from freezing over. Anyway, you shouldn't drive a car with snow on the roof. You broom it off first.
Overall, I like the design, though I could see how it might be too radical for some. But then again, plug-in EVs are pretty radical anyway. Tip - the second row seat needs to slide forward when the seat back is tilted forward, to allow better access for 3rd row passengers. Anyway, it still provides better access to the 3rd row than the typical minivan design, which requires you to enter the second row, navigate to the gap in the center, then wedge yourself back to the 3rd row.
David, TM has said that the 2nd row will slide forward on the production cars.
And with the smartphone app, we won't have to get into the car to start warming it up, which should help a lot with ice around the door seals. I worry about that because, at least with the Model S, you have to be able to roll down the window by a bit to open the door -- and that's not easy if the car is covered in a sheet of ice.
I finally found a video that actually plays about that Model X reveal (found out that Vimeo site couch mode works). I have to say that car looks a lot better "live" than in pictures here. It isn't as large as I got impression (having actual people close to it helps), and it is quite sleek in design. For some reason my impression from the pictures here was not that good.
My sister would love that car. She needs a car that has that much room and she isn't fan of gasoline SUV:s.
I have to take some of my words back, now that I have seen the car with people and some a bit better show I can see why someone would like to buy it instead of Model S (more than just AWD reasons).
I hope to see both Model S and X in real life soon. And I hope they don't offer me test run, I don't want to rob a bank ;-) (maybe if I move to less expensive part of the city and sell this one...).
You're thinking of selling your expensive portion of the city? How much of it do you own?
A roof rack might be made for, say, the left side of the X. A "disable left falcon door - roof rack mode" switch would be simple. Yes, that would make is so you'd have to exit on the right side from the back rows. Can't have everything.
Note to those who want heaters on the car for eliminating frozen situations:
It would work for temperatures close to 0 Celcius. But beware using such a feature when the temperature drops a few degrees lower. There's a point where there's probably only snow on the car - no ice - and you'd be melting the bottom layer a little, potentially creating ice when there wasn't a problem before. Any lower temps than that and the heater wouldn't warm the snow enough to melt anything (when there's so small an amount of snow that there's negligible insulation going on). In these situations, even if the X has a heater, just brush off the snow, don't try to melt it; you'd just make things worse.
Do people living in snowy climates typically park their $70 k vehicles outdoors overnight? In reality most are probably garaged. I dont understand this negative harping about the practicality of the falcon doors. When i have had my SUV parked at a ski resort during a snowstorm I return to my vehicle and simply dust off the areas around the doors. What's the big deal? If you live in a climate where your doors are frequently frozen closed I believe you will have problems EV or ICE, falcon doors or traditional. I don't recognize this as a legitimate argument against Tesla's design.
It's not just Snow overnight!
Colorado can dump snow during the day while at work or even better when you are up skiing. So when you come back to your car this would be an issue to deal with.
Overnight I'm not concerned as it is in my garage.
I'm sorry, but it's hard to imagine I'd be upset coming back from a full day of skiing to find my car covered in snow, simply because I bought a car with falcon doors.
I'd just get as much of the snow off the car as possible, as I would any car. Okay, to get others into the back seats might take a little longer, or they'd have to actually go in through the front right door and walk back. At least the car would be warm inside by the time I found the car because I pulled out my phone at the top of the last run, and told the car to get ready.
Worst case scenario is sheet ice over the doors would prevent me from opening one because some chunks would fall into the car. I'd have to have everyone get in via the other doors and drive slowly for a few miles so the vibration breaks up the ice. It wouldn't be the first time.
It's not the snow on the doors, it's not being able to put the skis up top. Putting them inside is no big deal if it's occasional. Putting them inside 2-3 times a week adds up to a lovely musty smell from the snow and ice melting and evaporating in the cabin. I say this from experience. Boots are no problem, they go in a big sealable plastic box. I'm sure you could get ski bags for family and friends, but wouldn't that be a joy after a day on the mountain. The tow
The other issue is wind. 30mph and greater gusts are common on a mountain. While the car is heavy, that's a lot of torque on a pretty good size sail. It might be no big deal, but then again it might.
The X is a great car, but if you plan to ski a lot, get a season locker and sell the kayaks. A solution I am very seriously considering.
There are always these doors:
Kind of disturbing to look over and see the door completely missing! It would be more complicated on a Model S/X due to the batteries filling up the floor space so there would be no place for the door to disappear down into. Also, I'm curious about their claim that they lose no structural rigidity - it seems like a lot of mechanism replacing your car floor there.
That's pretty cool! But I notice the whole JATECH site is un-changed since 2008! It would seem they haven't gotten much of a market yet.
I was expecting that the product was even older than that given the feel of the video. I feel like I'm watching a 70s "world of tomorrow" video on a film loop in science class. The Lincoln Mark VIII's that they talk about in their history (and which are used in much of that video) were a mid-90s vehicle.
They do seem to solve that side clearance issue pretty handily, and they imply that there are no ground clearance issues, but the "parking lot" scene where you view the Lincolns from the rear you can definitely see an arm swing down as the door starts to descend and later returns.
I was just trying to lighten the mood from all of the "how could anyone have redesigned a door" discussions... ;)
Hello Ladies and Gentleman, while discussing the design issues in this forum I tried to compare to the competition, namely Q7, Panamera, BMW 5GT... to bring it to detailled discussions.
Check this picture and leave Your opinion:
Very nice collection, it's interesting that you managed to find a shot from every angle for each of those. I'd suggest the Cayenne in place of the Panamera (the latter is competition to Model S more than to Model X IMO).
i will optimize it from time to time
Falcon doors are a deal breaker for me. Unfortunately my garage ceiling is low and these wont even work. Roof box and snow and rollover safety are just more reasons not to even start looking at this car. Too bad too, because I might have to give up my reservation on the Model S too if there is not wet key/ emergency key.
I am really surprised with most of the comments about inconvenience in different conditions. One has to be mind full that not all conditions could be met with any design. there are different models for different conditions and one can choose to fit in accordingly. If you go for skiing then you need to choose with that car which could be once in a while??
However what is most interesting for me is that the electric car should have some design by which one does not have to plug the car to charge the battery or must also not depend on Fossil fuel in any form??!
If that is possible to make electric car an absolute GREEN ENERGY CAR it definitely will have greater impact ove all for their use.
I know it is possible by making some changes in technical design!!
I am sure the designers must have in their mind what I am talking about.
Rollover safety is the least of my concerns! With the weight, low CG, short of driving over a steep embankment, or the road collapsing underneath you, it is going to be extremely difficult to roll a mod X!
But, if you manage it, I'm sure you will be able to use a manual release from inside, just like you can from the back of the model S.
Dr. K.,
No fuel, no charging? UR a loon. Free energy is mental crack cocaine. It destroys intelligence just before it finishes you off.
I agree, I would like to get a SUV that can go in the mountains, or off-road a bit,not just drive in the city.If the SUV could do that and still drive good in the city I would DEFINATLY buy it.
I falcon wing doors are for people like me who need to get the model X instead of a minivan, not an SUV. I don't care about not being able to put stuff on the top of the car. There's plenty of storage inside the car with all the seats down for when I need to bring home something from IKEA.
Heh. On another thread, someone is complaining bitterly about comparisons to "minivans". A total turnoff for his teener sons!
This is a very big topic at Tesla's mind in order to get these doors ok'd be the DOT and everybody else. What I'm thinking Tesla will end up doing is doing what Lamborghini has put on their Aventador model. The Aventador has the scissor-doors, a.k.a Lamborghini doors, which open upwards. Well in the incident of a rollover accident where it ends up on its roof, there's sensors somewhere in the car that realizes it's on its roof and breaks the hinges to the door, making them fall off. I do not know how Lamborghini was able to accomplish this but its what works for them
Newellcoaches: I'm not sure how they did it either but I would guess the sensors are set up the same way as in a lot of modern roadsters where a roll over event triggers small explosives to extend a rollover bar behind the headrests.
From wikipedia:
"In the July 2010 issue of Car and Driver magazine, safety specifications were revealed pertaining to the safety of the SLS AMG's gullwing doors. Ten to fifteen milliseconds after a detected rollover, explosive bolts situated at the top of the door frame fire and bell cranks separate the doors from the car for easy exit during a serious accident."
Those gullwing doors on the Mercedes SLS have an uncanny resemblance to the doors on the Model X.
Hmmmm, you think MB will only supply Tesla with the cruise control stick on the steering wheel or something more..... ;-)
AFAIK Model X has similar system as those gullwing doors, except that that breaking point is at the joint of the door located between roof and side (it has two hinges, not one).
Will there be side mirrors, or the cameras? The picture on the reservation page shows mirrors. The main model x page shows without.
Elon would prefer cameras, the law currently requires mirrors. It's being debated.
From the photos, aspects of the interior of the Model X at the Detroit Auto Show just look awful. The touchscreen is still apparently super glued to the dash, and the space between the second and third seating rows appears to provide zero legroom. I suppose that the second row seats are in their rear-most position, but moving them to that position would crush the third row passengers.
Why does anyone think that the "stuck on" touchscreen looks good? Tesla couldn't figure out a way to integrate it with the rest of the car? Is it removable, so you can carry it around as a tablet? That would be the only way it would seem to make sense to have it protruding from the front of the dash.
Frankly, I think that given the current interior design, Tesla should skip the Model X completely, sell the S for two more years (perhaps with body mods to give more vertical space in the back) and then go directly to the GenIII.
@HaroldS | JANUARY 14, 2013: From the photos, aspects of the interior of the Model X at the Detroit Auto Show just look awful.
I too was disappointed with the interior look of the Model X displayed at the auto show. Hopefully, Tesla will use some of the feedback to modify the design. Although I'm a reservation holder, the car as it currently appears, would not be something I would be interested in. My primary concern is the lack of 2nd and 3rd row leg room. I think the leg room would be something that is hard to redesign given the size of the current platform.
Hope the display will be more integrated into the dash. Third row looks tighter than previous iterations... Maybe just the photo.
I wonder if the Tesla designers have ever seen (experienced) snow. If anyone should wonder, this is what snow looks like (on a Nissan Leaf). No way those doors will open withot getting snow inside the Model X with falcon doors! ;)
Call it incentive to clean your roof off, like most sensable people do.
Sorry for the broken link. My point is that most arguments concerning snow in this thread seems to be coming from people unfamiliar with the concept of snow. Of course, that's my presumption...
When living in a area where the outside temp changes between -10 to +10 C (14 to 50 F) in a few days, the "snow" changes between beeing like ice, sugar, powdered sugar, rocks, flour, gravel, water and glaze. Cleaning the roof is simply not always an option!
"The Snow in Norway Stays Hardly in the Plain" ;)
This is a typical winter image: http://www.nettavisen.no/multimedia/na/archive/00746/Sne_i_Oslo_andre_74...
I think it would be very easy for tesla to put a heating element on the top to warm the snow, this could be activated by a weight sensor, I would hope people dont usally hop in a car cover in snow and just start driving though! But tesla should still take care of it
cprenzl | 15. JANUAR 2013
I think it would be very easy for tesla to put a heating element on the top to warm the snow
As pointed out earlier in this thread: This would require a lot of power. Several kilowatts!
I would hope people dont usally hop in a car cover in snow and just start driving though!
Well, we do. It is impossible to get rid of all the snow on the roof. Of course we don't drive of with feets of snow, but the last millimeters are impossible to remove and will end up in the back seat. The problem is big enough with normal, vertical doors. The under-pressure created when the door is opened is enough to drag in some snow ending up in the seats. If you don't belive me, you haven tried it!
My suggestion is to leave the eagle doors as an optoin but let me choose sliding doors.
Heating and melting roof snow would mean glazing the rest of the car. Snow → water → ice would be continuous. Should be able to build up quite a nice layer! Requiring hatchets to get through.
I don't think tesla will be able to add multiple door designs, unfortunately I think they might just point folks who park their car outdoors in the winter to a outdoor car cover. One Idea is that they have a popup sides (out of weatherproof flexible cloth, hard to explain) that block the snow and water from falling in. I hope they fix this.
Seems I saw a claim that it was allowed for/fixed, and even that there was some genius ski rack solution. Unrevealed as yet.
Does anyone know why the 17 inch display sticks out like it does? Is there a rhyme or reason behind it being designed this way? Don't want my kids to be able to rip it out, or be tempted to rip it out...
Didn't the Model S flat display look just as glued-on in early display versions of Model S? I was surprised how well the screen was integrated into the dash in the production models.
I would guess they've moved the screen up a bit to bring it more into the drivers field of view so they don't have to look so far down for the top of it. In the MS it wouldn't be as low as the driver sits lower in relation to the dash. From what I can tell having sat in a MS at the store.
Are the third row of seats to be fixed or removeable? As Model X reservation #677, I am looking forward to the vehicle, for me to drive while my wife drives our Signature Model S, which by the way exceeds expectations (thanks TM), but do not need the third row of seats most of the time. Would need to cancel reservation if third row of seats fixed, since need storage apace in back much of the time.
@jdb | FEBRUARY 1, 2013: do not need the third row of seats most of the time
Same here. I would imagine that they would stow away.
Both the second and third row of seats are expected to fold completely flat.
Everyone keeps talking about snow as if it does not accumulate while the Model X is being driven (including bad traffic)
I clean the snow off my roof before driving but when I'm stuck in traffic during a snow storm, well, I ended up getting loads of snow in the car when my passengers needed to get out at a pitstop.
Try removing the snow FROM INSIDE THE MODEL X.
Im getting the Model X (changed my mind from the S because we have 1 ICE Sedan for long road trips ) regardless but I am thinking ahead.
And no, I don't think telling your passengers that you need to clear the snow before they open the falcon doors is an option in most cases.
Once Canada's infrastructure is updated to be on par with the US, I will be getting rid of my ICE Sedan in place for a Model S.
Ahh still no edit option? Iphone autotype grammar sucks!
The driver must exit and clear the snow for the passengers.

If TV Companies Released Authorized Torrents With Ads, Would People Download Them?
from the it's-all-about-choices... deptMore than seven years ago, we first wrote about Ernest Miller's concept of Bitcatching -- a name that never caught on -- which was the combination of RSS + BitTorrent, allowing the ability to "subscribe" to certain video programs. Miller envisioned that as a legal and useful way for TV broadcasters to embrace the internet with shows that had ads on them, and to avoid the fate of the recording industry. Of course, that was in the days before YouTube and Hulu existed. The industry decided to focus on those streaming platforms (with a bit of iTunes on the side). However, those all have some annoying limitations, which means that many people still just go to BitTorrent to get the shows they want.
A few different people pointed us to this interesting recent Reddit thread, in which someone asked if people would download official TV programs via BitTorrent if they were high quality... with ads:
If major broadcasting companies released high quality TV show torrents WITH commercials in them, would you download those instead of commercial-free pirated ones?The responses are mixed. There are, certainly, a lot of people who insist they would never do that because they hate all advertising. I still think those people really just hate bad advertising, and don't realize that they actually like good advertising (for example, the TV shows they download? They're just "advertising" for other episodes of that TV show). But there are two types of answers that stand out and are seen throughout the comments. The first are that some people would agree to do this, having no problem supporting the TV folks. The second are people who say they hate commercials and wouldn't do this, but that they would pay for a similar thing without commercials.
I definitely would. Right now I find I'm constantly defending myself when people ask why I download all my shows. I personally do it for the convenience of being able to watch them at my leisure.
As a consumer, I would happily download a torrent straight from the broadcasting company's site since I know it would be coming from a good source, that it would be high quality and would be helping them pay their bills.
Advertisements make the entertainment industry go round, I'm not oblivious to that. I'll happily be pitched to if the companies are willing to meet me and my lifestyle halfway. Chances are, if I'm vegged out on a couch watching a show, most of the time I'm not even going to fastforward through the commercials either. They simply just aren't a big deal to me.
It seems that the TV industry is missing a big opportunity in not offering both of those options, and letting people decide.
Some may claim that shows are being put up on Hulu or iTunes, but again, the problem people have there are the restrictions associated with that content, along with the pointless delays. And, no, not everyone would agree to download the official versions or to pay. Some would still get unauthorized versions. And, as the Spotify experiment has shown, if you offer people good and convenient offerings, they're happy to pay, either with cash or with their attention.
So it really seems like the TV guys are leaving money on the table by not embracing those who prefer to use BitTorrent to get shows. Obviously, some would ignore those official offerings, but it seems likely that plenty would jump at the opportunity to use the official channels and to support one of the "options" for a business model: free with ads, or at a cheap price without. But, of course, that would require that folks in the industry be forward thinking and not have a brain spasm every time they hear the word infringement.

We'd like to have something that deals with stock trading, incorporate an arrow like a stock chart, or a comment bubble of some sort for the "chat room" we also offer seminars
my other website is InvestorsLive.com
I like these websites - this is where I can see my design going but its not limited to this:
Our goal is to make something that is attractive for both the website as well as mugs, tshirts etc.
Ideally we can pull off a piece of the logo "IU" and people will understand what it is, something to use as a fav icon would be great. Much like http://99designs.com/ has "99" that can be pulled off as separate and people still know what it is. It's not necessary but would like some examples. http://99designs.com/logo-design/co…logo-29511 is also neat
It's time for something fresh
We don't need just IU to stand out like some of the designs coming in... just something that we can pull off to place on a favicon mug etc. I like the in line ideas as well similar to http://creamscoop.com/ and the other sites I listed. Something web 2-3.0 +

The Cobbler's Childern are Barefoot
It would not be the first time technologies from the same firm are incompatible.
You have no interest in using Google Gmail? You're not alone. Google Analytics feels much the same way. Hugh Abbott, a London-based IT consultant, runs Google Analytics on behalf of several clients, generating detailed reports on the traffic hitting their websites. Naturally, there are times when he's interested in sharing …
I know last year I got one of my clients with gmail to see their google analyticts but I had to send them a link google analytics page https://www.google.com/analytics because the analytics link would not appear on their google panels. If the were logged in to their gmail and then went to the link things worked ok.
So does it still work?
anayltics also has another problem
lets say you have regional websites i.e. example.com , example.co.uk and example.eu
you want to spend dollars ($) on example.com while also the marketing dept in uk spend Pounds (£) on the .co.UK website
only one account is allowed to spend money on adwords campaign at any one time
thats crazy how much money have they thrown away ???
Facebook has a similar anomaly: if I create an event, I can invite anybody to it by email address - unless that address is associated with a Facebook account, in which case I can only invite that person if they're on my friends list. Presumably Analytics (and Facebook) is identifying these addresses as belonging to user accounts and handling them differently, then in this case there's some bug with the latter process.
@Charlie Clark: "data protection legislation" bans me from knowing the rough location and configuration of my websites' visitors?! I've heard it used as an excuse for all sorts of institutional stupidity, but if it actually says I'm not allowed to analyse the things Analytics collects, the authors need a serious battering with the clue-by-four.
"Why oh why are companies still using third party email providers for their business?"
Why oh why is anyone still using a free email provider for anything? Hint to the clueless: if you prefix all your email subject lines with "[SPAM]" then that's probably less likely to get you dropped by any half-decent filter.
As a web dev company, we stopped using Google Analytics some months ago as we noticed an increasing percentage of unlogged visits - i.e. people using various blockers to block or deny google-analytics.com. We subsquently developed our own in-house tracking system which is woven into each site's server-side code, and is therefore unblockable without blocking the entire website.
Information we collect from visitors includes: IP address, ISP, country of origin, browser type and version, time of access, pathing information (a list of pages on the site visited by the client in order and time elapsed between page deliveries), and most information submitted by the visitor on various site forms. Credit card, banking and paypal etc. details are not retained after being passed to the appropriate transaction-processing entity, for obvious reasons. All information retained is stored encrypted and provided only to the website owner (our client). Our website owners are advised that they must legally abide by the privacy policy they provide us for publication on their site.
This information provides us, and our clients, with essential statistical and demographic information required for site maintenance, marketing and planning. It provides us with valuable feedback about the ease-of-use and navigability of our sites, which we incorporate into site upgrades and future development projects. Without this information, neither we nor our clients have a business.
So data protection laws and google-blockers notwithstanding, we have a duty to our stakeholders and clients to ensure we can provide accurate information about their site usage. Yes, I am in favour of privacy protection, which is why we only share what we collect with the relevant client on a need-to-know basis. But it is easy to carry this concept into the realm of paranoia, which is why we were forced to go in-house with our tracking.
As with any website - our site, our rules.
If you want something with the ease of use and javascript gathering methodology of Google Analytics, but without potential privacy problems, I highly recommend piwik.
It's an open source remaking of Google Analytics, and it's already very good and improving fast. You have to install it on your own server, but it's just PHP and MySQL so that is pretty easy to do. From then on it is as easy to configure and use as the Google stuff.
The DPA does not cover ANYTHING provided by Analytics. The DPA is there to protect individuals' PERSONAL data. There is NOTHING in Analytics, unless you're doing something VERY naughty with your website's data, that could constitute a breach of that. You would probably need to put the users data into the URL itself to breach the DPA - personally, I don't know any developers that would do anything that moronic.
Paris, because she knows all about divulging personal stuff!
IP addresses can be treated as personal information particularly on a corporate network. The Data Protection Act certainly does prohibit passing on personal information electronically to third parties. On top of that, of course, is the Google cookie that gets set which is not at all required for the service. I know that the issue is currently under review in Germany with the recommendation to ban the use of Google Analytics likely. One of the companies I work is looking to ban the use of Analytics worldwide. But as I said in my initial post the use is currently only a possible breach of data protection legislation.
you do realise that the DPA covers the processing of all data, personal data is only a part of that that's treated more securely. And since a court has ruled that an ip address is personally identifiable data, that probably covers a hell of a lot that google gathers.
@ ac
gmail for business, are you insane? you are opening up all of your companies communications to a third party, who have specifically stated that they will scan those communications for commercial purposes!! It may provide more functionality, but falls over badly in the security department, at least internal mail is internal!
People in Businesses tend to use external email accounts because the company email servers is either underpowered, doesn't allow large emails, can be snooped on by IT, or has brain-dead attachment filtering! I've seen it, from both sides!
Anyhow, I filter out Google Analytics, and other tracking sites, in my work and home Firefox (thanks to Adblock Plus and NoScript), because I like privacy and fast web page rendering. If companies want tracking, they should do it via their web server pages or logs!

Gun-toting, Second Amendment advocate Ted Nugent says he'll be keeping his gun home tonight when attending tonight's State of the Union address.
"I turned in my knife, I feel like a little girl," he told the Houston Chronicle. "It feels unnatural. I'm a ranching guy, I live on a ranch in Texas and I have certain tools on me everyday, but to respect the laws of Washington D.C., I've left them out of the jurisdiction."
Rep. Steve Stockman announced Monday he invited the outspoken rock star to attend tonight's speech.
The Detroit native — turned Texan — stood by his firm belief in the right to bear arms.
"My belief and the Congressman's and the majority of Americans is that we have the right to individual, God-given right that's guaranteed in the Bill of Rights, to keep and bear arms. That's not ambiguous keep means their mine and you cant have them and bear means I've got one on me and it's loaded," he said, relaxed in an arm chair.
He said the way to prevent violent crimes is to ensure those prone to violence or with suspicious history should be kept " in their cages."
He also called Chicago a "slaughter zone" and the "Democratic dream" for its gun free zone laws.
Last year, Nugent got into hot water with the Secret Service when he said he would end up "dead or in jail" if Obama was reelected. He rejected calls from some Democrats to bar him from the State of the Union address, describing his critics as having "s*** for brains." He described a Rhode Island congressman who has been critical of his strong language about firearms as a "pompous ass." With all of the attacks, he asked, "Why don't you just say that I'm a gay pirate?"
Stockman said he invited Nugent as a counterbalance to the plan by congressional Democrats and the White House to pack the House gallery with families of gun violence victims.
"Obama has setting up his stage and we're all a part of his props. And I said 'it's a crime no one else was invited from the other side.' He's one of the most articulate spokesmen; if he can stand up to Piers Morgan he can stand up to the President," Stockman said, adding Nugent's vocal support has helped garner more attention to the cause they share.
Nugent was recently interviewed by CNN's Piers Morgan, where he told the host to leave gun owners alone.

Dating, in geology, determining a chronology or calendar of events in the history of Earth, using to a large degree the evidence of organic evolution in the sedimentary rocks accumulated through geologic time in marine and continental environments. To date past events, processes, formations, and fossil organisms, geologists employ a variety of techniques. These include some that establish a relative chronology in which occurrences can be placed in the correct sequence relative to one another or to some known succession of events. Radiometric dating and certain other approaches are used to provide absolute chronologies in terms of years before the present. The two approaches are often complementary, as when a sequence of occurrences in one context can be correlated with an absolute chronlogy elsewhere.
General considerations
Distinctions between relative-age and absolute-age measurements
Local relationships on a single outcrop or archaeological site can often be interpreted to deduce the sequence in which the materials were assembled. This then can be used to deduce the sequence of events and processes that took place or the history of that brief period of time as recorded in the rocks or soil. For example, the presence of recycled bricks at an archaeological site indicates the sequence in which the structures were built. Similarly, in geology, if distinctive granitic pebbles can be found in the sediment beside a similar granitic body, it can be inferred that the granite, after cooling, had been uplifted and eroded and therefore was not injected into the adjacent rock sequence. Although with clever detective work many complex time sequences or relative ages can be deduced, the ability to show that objects at two separated sites were formed at the same time requires additional information. A coin, vessel, or other common artifact could link two archaeological sites, but the possibility of recycling would have to be considered. It should be emphasized that linking sites together is essential if the nature of an ancient society is to be understood, as the information at a single location may be relatively insignificant by itself. Similarly, in geologic studies, vast quantities of information from widely spaced outcrops have to be integrated. Some method of correlating rock units must be found. In the ideal case, the geologist will discover a single rock unit with a unique collection of easily observed attributes called a marker horizon that can be found at widely spaced localities. Any feature, including colour variations, textures, fossil content, mineralogy, or any unusual combinations of these can be used. It is only by correlations that the conditions on different parts of Earth at any particular stage in its history can be deduced. In addition, because sediment deposition is not continuous and much rock material has been removed by erosion, the fossil record from many localities has to be integrated before a complete picture of the evolution of life on Earth can be assembled. Using this established record, geologists have been able to piece together events over the past 635 million years, or about one-eighth of Earth history, during which time useful fossils have been abundant. The need to correlate over the rest of geologic time, to correlate nonfossiliferous units, and to calibrate the fossil time scale has led to the development of a specialized field that makes use of natural radioactive isotopes in order to calculate absolute ages.
The precise measure of geologic time has proven to be the essential tool for correlating the global tectonic processes that have taken place in the past. Precise isotopic ages are called absolute ages, since they date the timing of events not relative to each other but as the time elapsed between a rock-forming event and the present. Absolute dating by means of uranium and lead isotopes has been improved to the point that for rocks 3 billion years old geologically meaningful errors of less than ±1 million years can be obtained. The same margin of error applies for younger fossiliferous rocks, making absolute dating comparable in precision to that attained using fossils. To achieve this precision, geochronologists have had to develop the ability to isolate certain high-quality minerals that can be shown to have remained closed to migration of the radioactive parent atoms they contain and the daughter atoms formed by radioactive decay over billions of years of geologic time. In addition, they have had to develop special techniques with which to dissolve these highly refractory minerals without contaminating the small amount (about one-billionth of a gram) of contained lead and uranium on which the age must be calculated. Since parent uranium atoms change into daughter atoms with time at a known rate, their relative abundance leads directly to the absolute age of the host mineral. Just as the use of the fossil record has allowed a precise definition of geologic processes in approximately the past 600 million years, absolute ages allow correlations back to Earth's oldest known rocks formed more than 4 billion years ago. In fact, even in younger rocks, absolute dating is the only way that the fossil record can be calibrated. Without absolute ages, investigators could only determine which fossil organisms lived at the same time and the relative order of their appearance in the correlated sedimentary rock record.
Unlike ages derived from fossils, which occur only in sedimentary rocks, absolute ages are obtained from minerals that grow as liquid rock bodies cool at or below the surface. When rocks are subjected to high temperatures and pressures in mountain roots formed where continents collide, certain datable minerals grow and even regrow to record the timing of such geologic events. When these regions are later exposed in uptilted portions of ancient continents, a history of terrestrial rock-forming events can be deduced. Episodes of global volcanic activity, rifting of continents, folding, and metamorphism are defined by absolute ages. The results suggest that the present-day global tectonic scheme was operative in the distant past as well.
The global tectonic rock cycle
Bringing together virtually all geologic aspects of Earth's outer rock shell (the lithosphere) into a unifying theory called plate tectonics has had a profound impact on the scientific understanding of our dynamic planet. Continents move, carried on huge slabs, or plates, of dense rock about 100 km (62 miles) thick over a low-friction, partially melted zone (the asthenosphere) below. In the oceans, new seafloor, created at the globe-circling oceanic ridges, moves away, cools, and sinks back into the mantle in what are known as subduction zones (i.e., long, narrow belts at which one plate descends beneath another). Where this occurs at the edge of a continent, as along the west coast of North and South America, large mountain chains develop with abundant volcanoes and their subvolcanic equivalents. These units, called igneous rock, or magma in their molten form, constitute major crustal additions. By contrast, crustal destruction occurs at the margins of two colliding continents, as, for example, where the subcontinent of India is moving north over Asia. Great uplift, accompanied by rapid erosion, is taking place and large sediment fans are being deposited in the Indian Ocean to the south. With time, water-soluble "cement" will cause the sandy units to become sandstone. Rocks of this kind in the ancient record may very well have resulted from rapid uplift and continent collision.
When continental plates collide, the edge of one plate is thrust onto that of the other. The rocks in the lower slab undergo changes in their mineral content in response to heat and pressure and will probably become exposed at the surface again some time later. Rocks converted to new mineral assemblages because of changing temperatures and pressures are called metamorphic. Virtually any rock now seen forming at the surface can be found in exposed deep crustal sections in a form that reveals through its mineral content the temperature and pressure of burial. Such regions of the crust may even undergo melting and subsequent extrusion of melt magma, which may appear at the surface as volcanic rocks or may solidify as it rises to form granites at high crustal levels. Magmas produced in this way are regarded as recycled crust, whereas others extracted by partial melting of the mantle below are considered primary.
Even the oceans and atmosphere are involved in this great cycle because minerals formed at high temperatures are unstable at surface conditions and eventually break down or weather, in many cases taking up water and carbon dioxide to make new minerals. If such minerals were deposited on a downgoing (i.e., subducted) oceanic slab, they would eventually be heated and changed back into high-temperature minerals, with their volatile components being released. These components would then rise and be fixed in the upper crust or perhaps reemerge at the surface. Such hot circulating fluids can dissolve metals and eventually deposit them as economic mineral deposits on their way to the surface.
Geochronological studies have provided documentary evidence that these rock-forming and rock-re-forming processes were active in the past. Seafloor spreading has been traced, by dating minerals found in a unique grouping of rock units thought to have been formed at the oceanic ridges, to 500 million years ago, with rare occurrences as early as 2 billion years ago. Volcanic units resembling those formed over oceanic subduction zones can be dated worldwide to show that Earth's most prolific volcanic event occurred about 2.7 billion years ago. Other ancient volcanic units document various cycles of mountain building. The source of ancient sediment packages like those presently forming off India can be identified by dating single detrital grains of zircon found in sandstone. Magmas produced by the melting of older crust can be identified because their zircons commonly contain inherited older cores. Episodes of continental collision can be dated by isolating new zircons formed as the buried rocks underwent local melting. Periods of deformation associated with major collisions cannot be directly dated if no new minerals have formed. The time of deformation can be bracketed, however, if datable units, which both predate and postdate it, can be identified. The timing of cycles involving the expulsion of fluids from deep within the crust can be ascertained by dating new minerals formed at high pressures in exposed deep crustal sections. In some cases, it is possible to prove that gold deposits may have come from specific fluids if the deposition time of the deposits can be determined and the time of fluid expulsion is known.
Where the crust is under tension, as in Iceland, great fissures develop. These fissures serve as conduits that allow black lava, called basalt, to reach the surface. The portion that remains in a fissure below the surface usually forms a vertical black tubular body known as a dike (or dyke). Precise dating of such dikes can reveal times of crustal rifting in the past. Dikes and lava, now exposed on either side of Baffin Bay, have been dated to determine the time when Greenland separated from North America—namely, about 60 million years ago.
Combining knowledge of Earth processes observed today with absolute ages of ancient geologic analogues seems to indicate that the oceans and atmosphere were present by at least 4 billion years ago and that they were probably released by early heating of the planet. The continents were produced over time; the oldest preserved portions were formed approximately 4 billion years ago, but this process had begun about by 4.4 billion years ago and continues today. Absolute dating allows rock units formed at the same time to be identified and reassembled into ancient mountain belts, which in many cases have been disassociated by subsequent tectonic processes. The most obvious of these is the Appalachian chain that occupies the east coast of North America and extends to parts of Newfoundland as well as parts of Ireland, England, and Norway. Relic oceanic crust, formed between 480 million and 500 million years ago, was identified on both sides of the Atlantic in this chain, as were numerous correlative volcanic and sedimentary units. Evidence based on geologic description, fossil content, and absolute and relative ages leave no doubt that these rocks were all part of a single mountain belt before the Atlantic Ocean opened in stages from about 200 million years ago.
Determination of sequence
Relative geologic ages can be deduced in rock sequences consisting of sedimentary, metamorphic, or igneous rock units. In fact, they constitute an essential part in any precise isotopic, or absolute, dating program. Such is the case because most rocks simply cannot be isotopically dated. Therefore, a geologist must first determine relative ages and then locate the most favourable units for absolute dating. It is also important to note that relative ages are inherently more precise, since two or more units deposited minutes or years apart would have identical absolute ages but precisely defined relative ages. While absolute ages require expensive, complex analytical equipment, relative ages can be deduced from simple visual observations.
Most methods for determining relative geologic ages are well illustrated in sedimentary rocks. These rocks cover roughly 75 percent of the surface area of the continents, and unconsolidated sediments blanket most of the ocean floor. They provide evidence of former surface conditions and the life-forms that existed under those conditions. The sequence of a layered sedimentary series is easily defined because deposition always proceeds from the bottom to the top. This principle would seem self-evident, but its first enunciation more than 300 years ago by Nicolaus Steno represented an enormous advance in understanding. Known as the principle of superposition, it holds that in a series of sedimentary layers or superposed lava flows the oldest layer is at the bottom, and layers from there upward become progressively younger. On occasion, however, deformation may have caused the rocks of the crust to tilt, perhaps to the point of overturning them. Moreover, if erosion has blurred the record by removing substantial portions of the deformed sedimentary rock, it may not be at all clear which edge of a given layer is the original top and which is the original bottom.
Identifying top and bottom is clearly important in sequence determination, so important in fact that a considerable literature has been devoted to this question alone. Many of the criteria of top–bottom determination are based on asymmetry in depositional features. Oscillation ripple marks, for example, are produced in sediments by water sloshing back and forth. When such marks are preserved in sedimentary rocks, they define the original top and bottom by their asymmetric pattern. Certain fossils also accumulate in a distinctive pattern or position that serves to define the top side.
In wind-blown or water-lain sandstone, a form of erosion during deposition of shifting sand removes the tops of mounds to produce what are called cross-beds. The truncated layers provide an easily determined depositional top direction. The direction of the opening of mud cracks or rain prints can indicate the uppermost surface of mudstones formed in tidal areas. When a section of rock is uplifted and eroded, as during mountain-building episodes, great volumes of rock are removed, exposing a variety of differently folded and deformed rock units. The new erosion surface must postdate all units, dikes, veins, and deformation features that it crosses. Even the shapes formed on the erosional or depositional surfaces of the ancient seafloor can be used to tell which way was up. A fragment broken from one bed can only be located in a younger unit, and a pebble or animal track can only deform a preexisting unit—i.e., one below. In fact, the number of ways in which one can determine the tops of well-preserved sediments is limited only by the imagination, and visual criteria can be deduced by amateurs and professionals alike.
One factor that can upset the law of superposition in major sediment packages in mountain belts is the presence of thrust faults. Such faults, which are common in compression zones along continental edges, may follow bedding planes and then cross the strata at a steep angle, placing older units on top of younger ones. In certain places, the fault planes are only a few centimetres thick and are almost impossible to detect.
Relative ages also can be deduced in metamorphic rocks as new minerals form at the expense of older ones in response to changing temperatures and pressures. In deep mountain roots, rocks can even flow like toothpaste in their red-hot state. Local melting may occur, and certain minerals suitable for precise isotopic dating may form both in the melt and in the host rock. In the latter case, refractory grains in particular may record the original age of the rock in their cores and the time of melting in their newly grown tips. Analytical methods are now available to date both growth stages, even though each part may weigh only a few millionths of a gram (see below Correlation). Rocks that flow in a plastic state record their deformation in the alignment of their constituent minerals. Such rocks then predate the deformation. If other rocks that are clearly not deformed can be found at the same site, the time of deformation can be inferred to lie between the absolute isotopic ages of the two units.
Igneous rocks provide perhaps the most striking examples of relative ages. Magma, formed by melting deep within Earth, cuts across and hence postdates all units as it rises through the crust, perhaps even to emerge at the surface as lava. Black lava, or basalt, the most common volcanic rock on Earth, provides a simple means for determining the depositional tops of rock sequences as well as proof of the antiquity of the oceans. Pillow shapes are formed as basaltic lava is extruded (i.e., erupted) under water; these are convex upward with a lower tip that projects down between two convex tops below. The shapes of pillows in ancient basalts provide both a direct indication of depositional top and proof of underwater eruption. They are widespread in rocks as old as 3.5 billion years, implying that the oceans were already present.
Basaltic lava rocks that are common where ancient continents have been rifted apart are fed from below by near vertical fractures penetrating the crust. Material that solidifies in such cracks remains behind as dikes. Here the dikes must be younger than all other units. A more interesting case develops when a cooled older crust is fractured, invaded by a swarm of dikes, and subsequently subjected to a major episode of heating with deformation and intrusion of new magma. In this instance, even though the resulting outcrop pattern is extremely complex, all of the predike units can be distinguished by the relic dikes present. The dikes also record in their newly formed minerals components that can be analyzed to give both the absolute age and the temperature and pressure of the second event. Because dike swarms are commonly widespread, the conditions determined can often be extrapolated over a broad region. Dikes do not always continue upward in a simple fashion. In some cases, they spread between the layers of near-horizontal sedimentary or volcanic units to form bodies called sills. In this situation, fragments of the host rock must be found within the intrusive body to establish its relatively younger age.
Once most or all of the relative ages of various strata have been determined in a region, it may be possible to deduce that certain units have been offset by movement along fractures or faults while others have not. Dikes that cross fault boundaries may even be found. Application of the simple principle of crosscutting relationships can allow the relative ages of all units to be deduced.
The principles for relative age dating described above require no special equipment and can be applied by anyone on a local or regional scale. They are based on visual observations and simple logical deductions and rely on a correlation and integration of data that occurs in fragmentary form at many outcrop locations.
