Just when there were doubts about the future of Mercedes ' A-Class , the German automaker comes out and releases what is arguably the hottest looking hatchback concept we've seen in a while.
This is the Mercedes-Benz Concept A-Class, and oh dear Lord, does it look mighty divine. We can't get enough of the concept's overall design, especially that sharp as a tack, starry, starry night-inspired grille. Of course, we don't expect each and every element of the Concept A-Class to make it to the production version, but at the very least, we know the direction Mercedes is taking with their hatch-segment models.
Yeah, no more of those box-shaped, minivan-looking cars whose only redeeming value was that it had the brand's tri-star logo on it. But the new Concept A-Class really is something else. it's got edge, it's got attitude, and it's got class.
UPDATE 04/20/2011: Car and Driver had their way with Mercedes and ended up coaxing some wonderful news coming out of the New York Auto Show. The Mercedes Concept A-Class is indeed headed to the production line and it will also find its way over to the States. Sweet!
UPDATE 09/08/11: The Mercedes-Benz Concept A-Class is getting some serious technological juice courtesy of a range of new connectivity functions, including Twitter and Facebook integration, text-to-speech translation of email messages and status updates. The whole concept may still be year's from being produced commercially, but it does give us an idea on what the future Mercedes infotainment system is going to look like. Check out the video to find out more about the Concept A-Class' fancy new digs.
UPDATE 10/15/11:Ever wonder what goes on behind the scenes in the building of a concept car, especially one that packs all the technology that comes with a concept like the Mercedes-Benz Concept A-Class? Well, you won't need to wonder anymore because the German automaker has released a video detailing exactly how the whole deal goes down. Check it out by clicking the photo above.
Details on the Concept A-Class after the jump.
Exterior and Interior
Unlike previous A-Class models, the new Concept A-Class is a lot more stylish and aggressive than its predecessors, a direct reflection to the company's new design language. Inspired from natural elements like the wind and the waves, while also taking cue from aviation engineering, the Concept A-Class is being described as a redefinition of what a premium hot hatchback should be. Aesthetically pleasing with a hint of real-world aggression, the exterior design of the Concept A-Class features strong and defined edges mixed in with free-flowing details reminiscent of the design used in the F800. The Concept A-Class is a defined by a long bonnet that goes seamlessly with the large radiator grille that has been patterned with metallic silver hexagons on black stems with the center of the grille featuring the enormous Mercedes tri-star logo. Meanwhile, the car's headlights comprise fully of full-LED high-performance lights consisting of 90 optical fibers with their own aluminum sleeves arranged to look like wings inside the headlamp.
Inside the Concept A-Class, the first thing that you'll notice is the clean dashboard that takes the contours of a plane's wing and dressed in a translucent and stretchable fabric lining. Keeping up with the aviation theme, the car's air vents also takes in the shape of fighter plane with red dials in the instrument cluster taking in the look of a jet engine's afterburners. Even the Concept A-Class' center console was designed by Mercedes to simulate the look of a plane's flight control panel, including the shift lever, which takes the look of a "reverse thrust control". While there seems to be an overabundant influence from planes, the Concept A-Class still features other notable elements, including a fully integrated smartphone that serves a variety of purposes. All functions directed to the smartphone can be operated using the car's push control system.
The Concept A-Class is a front-wheel drive model that's powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gas engine taken from Mercedes' M270 series. As a result of the transverse design and the direct injection and turbocharging nature of the engine, the Concept A-Class is capable of producing 210 horsepower mated to a dual clutch transmission while also producing minimal emissions and fuel consumption.
No price yet for the car considering its a concept vehicle. While we do expect the production version of the A-Class to come soon, word on how soon it's going to be is still up for discussion.
If and when the new A-Class hits the market, you can expect it to have a number of competitors, including the Audi A1 . Despite being a concept, Mercedes' idea is to slot the concept right where it can compete with the A1s - or maybe even the S1s - of the world.
The S1, for all intents and purposes, is the more powerful version of the A1. It comes with a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine that produces an output north of 200 horsepower.
But through all of these comparisons, the Mercedes Concept A-Class remains, by and large, a concept car. So until we see a production version of this baby, any and all comparisons are relatively moot at this point.
- New exterior look is amazing
- Interior design defined by red lights is hot
- The best A-Class concept we've seen
- Still a concept
- Limited powertrain options
- Will it be transformed into a production model?

Sept. 29, 2011 -- Researchers have identified a new set of genes that may increase risk for type 1 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is the form of the disease that occurs when the body produces little to no insulin, which is the hormone that helps the body keep blood sugar (glucose) levels in check. As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream. This leads to the symptoms of type 1 diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin every day.
Researchers from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia tapped into six large databases encompassing 10,000 people with type 1 diabetes and 17,000 people without diabetes for comparison.
The databases contained information on single-nucleotide polymorphism or SNPs, which are changes in a DNA sequence. SNPs are not disease-causing genetic mutations. Instead, they serve as signposts that alert scientists to particular gene regions associated with a disease.
The researchers located three new SNPs and confirmed the existence and location of other SNPs. The three new SNPs add to 50 that had been identified previously and are thought to be linked to type 1 diabetes.
The SNP with the greatest significance in the new study was found in the region of the LMO7 gene on chromosome 13.
The exact nature of the relationship is not yet fully understood, but the LMO7 gene is seen in the pancreas' islet cells. The islet cells produce insulin.
"We're much further along in finding the full genetic architecture in type 1 diabetes than in any other complex disorder," researcher Struan F. A. Grant, PhD, says in a news release. Grant is the associate director of the Center for Applied Genomics at Children's Hospital in Philadelphia. "But there's clearly much work ahead in translating knowledge to clinical use."
The findings appear online in Public Library of Science Genetics.

Topic - Bidian Conditions 10/1/13
peebles boy - on 10 Jan 2013
Made the decision to go somewhere a bit different today, and headed up Bidian to Church Door and Diamond Buttress area. Good snow cover still in the coire, with plenty hard snow to go at Grade I throughout the coire and up the slopes to the cols between the 2 Bidian tops and Stob Coire nam Beith. Went for a wee venture up to Hourglass Gully which is still complete, but only just...ran away when I saw how steep it is in the narrows and how boney the section is.
Central Gully (RH) was broken at the bottom but seemed complete above (couldn't see whole length) and Central LH had a fair bit in it too (couldn't see whole lower section, Collies Pinnacle kinda in the way...!)
Good solid snow all the way up to the col between Bidian (West Top) and SCNB, plenty scope for journeying about/basic winter skills etc. Dusting of new snow down to about 950m, some rime building above this height too. Exposed turf starting to freeze, but slowly.
No routes at all complete on Stob Coire nam Beith North Face, hardly any snow left on this at all.
Winter's on it's way back at last!!!

"The legalization of the termination of pregnancy is none other than the authorization given to an adult, with the approval of an established law, to take the lives of children yet unborn and thus incapable of defending themselves. It is difficult to imagine a more unjust situation, and it is very difficult to speak of obsession in a matter such as this, where we are dealing with a fundamental imperative of every good conscience — the defense of the right to life of an innocent and defenseless human being."

Comment: Re:What About Electricity? (Score 1) 337
Not at the moment, but it's being worked on, and it's called "Smart Grid".
The most important difference between Smart Grid and lack of net neutrality is that with Smart grid it's the customer who owns the appliance that gets paid (or refunded) if power isn't available for the appliance. The idea is that you'll be able to plug in your electric car in the evening, and the car will then negotiate for power, so that it is fully charged, at latest the next morning. It's a win for the costumer and the electricity company, unlike lack of net neutrality.
QoS for networks could perhaps learn something from the ideas being worked on in Smart Grid - I wouldn't mind being paid for allowing the internet provider to provide worse services for some packages.

AFT Back-to-School Tour '09 Comes to Houston's Kashmere High School
Houston area leaders pledge community-school collaboration, emphasize
importance of working together to help students
HOUSTON—The American Federation of Teachers Back-to-School Tour '09 arrived in Houston today, as AFT President Randi Weingarten joined Houston-area labor and community leaders in pledging to work together to ensure neighborhood schools succeed.
The leaders signed a "Working Together" pledge at Kashmere High School before touring the school, which is seeking greater community involvement to improve lagging test scores.
"Reforms that are accomplished collaboratively with the union, the school district and community partners will have a positive and long-lasting effect on teaching and learning," Weingarten said, adding that successful reform plans must include the "four C's"—children, community, collaboration and curriculum.
At a news conference, Houston Federation of Teachers President Gayle Fallon called the commitment from community members a "first step in building the foundation for success." Fallon announced plans to host a meeting to bring community members together to develop a long-term plan for improving the school. "We are putting the full weight of the HFT behind the effort to raise student achievement at Kashmere and all across the city," said Fallon.
A number of Houston-area unions representing school employees also participated in today's event, as well as Texas AFT, Kashmere's principal, and parents and students from the school. Other participating local unions were the Houston Federation of Teachers, Alief AFT, Cy-Fair AFT, Fort Bend Employee Federation, Brazosport Federation of Teachers, Goose Creek Education Federation, Aldine-AFT and Houston Educational Support Personnel.
Weingarten and community leaders met this morning with a member of the Texas congressional delegation, and will meet this evening for a community roundtable discussion of issues affecting local teachers, school employees and students.
The AFT tour, which kicked off in St. Louis yesterday before coming to Houston, will continue in Baltimore (Aug. 31); Portland, Ore. (Sept. 3); San Francisco (Sept. 4); Kenmore, N.Y. (Sept. 8); Boston (Sept. 9); and Philadelphia (Sept. 10).
# # # #
The AFT represents more than 1.4 million pre-K through 12th-grade teachers; paraprofessionals and other school-related personnel; higher education faculty and professional staff; federal, state and local government employees; nurses and healthcare workers; and early childhood educators.

Skyfall, the 23rd canonical James Bond movie, comes out in the U.S. today. I am pleased to reaffirm what you've already read about it if you care at all about James Bond movies: The film is good and occasionally great, restoring the character to his rightful station as the grandest of screen spies — or at least the one most likely to take time to introduce himself to the targets of his spycraft by his last, then his first-and-last, names. I assume he formed this habit after people began showing a quite sensible reluctance to accept his business card.
The film is a triumphant paradox. It reintroduces the some of the series' iconic-but-lately-absent tropes and characters while preserving Daniel Craig's fresh take on the role, even as it asks whether he's already over the hill. (The-44-year-old Craig's frequently uncovered body still appears to be chiseled out of marble, but we understand that he's a mojo-depleted, pill-popping wreck for part of the movie because he grows a little stubble. Fortunately for us, that stubble is as easily cured as Bruce Wayne's broken leg was inThe Dark Knight Rises, a film that this one echoes to a surprising degree.)
Minor quibbles (and without quibble, would a fanboy not simply blink out of existence?) aside, Skyfall is a layered, exciting, beautifully shot adventure. No one is more relieved I am. I've been dreading this movie ever since Sam Mendes was announced as its director, well over two years ago.
Mendes makes an inviting target for fanboys like me: He won the Best Oscar for his very first film, 1999's American Beauty, now widely seen as overrated. (Let the record show I had the purity of vision to hate it way back in 1999.) But the reason I didn't want him going within wristwatch-laser distance, much less shoe-knife distance, of the 50-year-old 007 franchise was that he seemed to have the same pedigree as Marc Forster, who directed the prior Bond adventure, 2008's Quantum of Solace.
That mouthful of a title was the least of its problems.
I'd loved Casino Royale, 2006's vigorous Bond reboot. It introduced 007 No. 006, and Craig is beyond all argument the worthiest of Sean Connery's successors. It wasn't merely the best Bond movie since the 60s; it was the first one wherein I actually worried the guy might fail. Royale commits to the idea of Bond not having mastered the je ne sans quoi his exceedingly weird job demands. He spends the movie screwing up, and then screwing up some more. His boss, M, (played magnificently by the magnificent Judi Dench, in the series' sole casting holdover from the Pierce Brosnan era), calls him "a blunt instrument." He hasn't yet made himself a blade.
Casino Royale's sequel, Quantum of Solace, was the first direct continuation in the franchise's history; the two form a single, four-hour story, unevenly divided. (Unfortunately, Casino of Solace is already a well-known Lifetime movie about the scourge of gambling addiction.) But producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli didn't rehire Royale's director, Martin Campbell for Quantum, even though they used the same writers. For whatever reason, they went to Forster, who made Monster's Ball and Finding Neverland and Stranger Than Fiction. Good films all. None of them action pictures.
Quantum was of those odd ducks that can only exist within beloved franchises: a huge box office hit that almost nobody liked. It's a relentlessly dreary, violent picture; with the exception of one breathtaking chase-and-fight sequence set during a performance of the opera Tosca, its stunts and action sequences are barely punctuated by dialogue scenes and are as incomprehensible as anything in a Michael Bay movie. It played better on my laptop than it had on the big screen, and that's all wrong: If there's one thing the Bond pictures stand for, it's living large, production-value-wise. (The judges' panel would also have accepted "imperialism" or "misogyny.")
Here's why I'd fretted that Mendes posed a more dire threat to Bond than Oddjob, Jaws, and that five-foot-tall French guy he fought at the end of Quantum of Solace put together: Mendes is an auteur.
There's nothing wrong with an auteur putting his stamp on a franchise. I love that Tim Burton and Christopher Nolan each gave us distinct visions of Batman, for example, that felt of a piece with their other work. I like that each of the four movies in Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible series has come from a different director, and that they look and feel so different.
But Bond is not Batman – though Skyfall's final act comes perilously close to making him Batman, right down to giving him his own Alfred Pennyworth. The best Bonds have been made by journeymen filmmakers, competent but largely anonymous. Only five directors were responsible for the first 16 films. John Glen, for years the series' in-house director, helmed all five of the "official" Bonds released during the '80s. (There was one unofficial entry, Never Say Never Again, that brought a 53-year-old Sean Connery back to compete at the box office against a sanctioned Bond film starring a 56-year-old Roger Moore that same year.)
Two of the best latter-day films, Goldeneye and Casino Royale – the 007 debuts from Pierce Brosnan and Craig, respectively – were from the hand of Martin Campbell, whom you wouldn't call an auteur. He's made good entertainments (the pilot episode of ABC's drama series Last Resort) and bad ones (2011 Green Lantern). But he never leaves fingerprints. The franchise is the star.
Bond producers Michael G. Wilson and Barbara Broccoli have moved away from the notion of having a stable of directors work in a house style. In the '90s, they hired Michael Apted, a noted documentarian and the director of high-toned features like Coal Miner's Daughter, to direct The World Is Not Enough. (Remember? With Denise Richards as Christmas Jones, nuclear physicist? Sheeeeyeah.) For Die Another Day, they got New Zealand director Lee Tamahori, famed for the Māori family drama Once Were Warriors.
Highly regarded, these filmmakers, just like Mendes. But these are nobody's favorite Bond movies.
Skyfall, on the other hand? Well, it's far too early to tell how hypnotic a spell this film will cast in its cable TV afterlife. But I think it's about as good as Casino Royale, which would make it at worst the second-best James Bond film released during my lifetime.
I was afraid Mendes would art it up. And he did, but in a way that only makes the film feel richer. In addition to deepening the relationship between Bond and his boss — and filling in some, possibly too many, details of Bond's upbringing — the film gives us a spectacularly stylish neon-lit action sequence set in Shanghai. (Roger Deakins cinematography is eye-popping throughout, but especially here.) At 143 minutes, it's one of the longest films in the series, and wrapped in not a little weary melancholy, which is exactly what I thought this series did not need. And yet, there's a candlelit casino with Kimono dragons under the floor. And yet, Dench gets more screen time than in any prior Bond movie. And yet, Bond gets to make a few quips. They're awful; it's wonderful to have them back. And yet, Javier Bardem [REDACTED REDACTED REDACTED].
And yet.
My fear was that Mendes would try to turn Bond – a fundamentally escapist series – into some existential metaphor for the folly of war or the futility of revenge or the winnowing poverty of the soul that comes from leading a double life. Hey Sam, I wanted to shout. Just make a stylish, pulse-quickening adventure movie. Avoid a shot of James Bond surfing, if at all possible. Union Jack parachute? If you must.
