The Mercedes CLA made its debut at the Detroit Motor Show this month, and goes on sale in the UK in March.
Funnily enough, the opening of order books will coincide with Lewis Hamilton's debut as a Mercedes F1 driver at the forthcoming Australian Grand Prix. So to mark the occasion, the German carmaker has brought together car and driver to discuss the season ahead.
Hamilton moves to Mercedes next season, from a six-year spell at McLaren and after a three-year stint alongside team mate, Jenson Button.
The car he's seen driving in this video is the all-new Mercedes CLA. Based on the updated A-Class, it has been named the most aerodynamic car ever built – with a drag coefficient of just 0.22. This means despite its stylish exterior, the slippery profile cuts through the air more cleanly than a Toyota Prius.
So check out the interview with Lewis, ahead of the first race of the season in Melbourne on 17 March.

Vigil Games is no more, the team says goodbyeWritten by: / / No Comments
By now you'll know that THQ was yesterday dissolved while its studios and intellectual properties were sold to various publishers. There were, however, some studios that weren't bought in the auction.
Vigil Games is one of these studios.
In a letter sent by THQ Chief Executive Officer Brian Farrell and President Jason Rubin to all employees it was noted that "some assets, including our publishing businesses and Vigil, along with some other intellectual properties are not included in the sale agreements. They will remain part of the Chapter 11 case. We will make every effort to find appropriate buyers, if possible."
The letter went on to say that "if you are an employee of an entity that is not included in the sale, we regret that your position will end."
As a result of the chain of events that were set into motion a while ago now but are only now drawing to a close this week, the staff at Vigil Games cleaned out their desks yesterday after their employment was terminated.
Vigil Games Lead Combat Designer Ben Cureton wrote a touching post on NeoGAF which described the office as a warzone.
"The walls look bare. It's quiet. The seats are empty."
Cureton went on to say that he was surprised when he didn't see Vigil Games on the list of purchased properties: "maybe you can imagine what it feels like when you read the list of who bought what only to discover your name is not on the list. Why? Did we do something wrong? Were we not good enough? Were we not worth 'anything?' Imagine that."
This surprise was in part rooted in the fact that he believed the new project Vigil Games was working on was "going to blow people away." According to Cureton the project, Codenamed: Crawler, "did blow people away," and he believes that "[they] did, in two months, what many companies haven't done in a year."
"The pride of knowing that no one was doing anything like us was so satisfying, it kept us coming to work and giving 100% every single day, even through the dark times," he continued.
Cureton ended off by thanking the fans of the Darksiders series. "In closing, I can only say thank you to the fans of Vigil games. Your support means more than you can imagine. Your feedback (both positive and negative) gave us long-lasting insight that we will all take with us, wherever we may go. You are the reason we made Darksiders 1 &2… and you are the reason we will continue to make games."
We're still hopeful that both the Darksiders series and Vigil Games will find a new place in this world. There are reports that Platinum Games (Bayonetta, Vanquish) are interesting in buying the franchise. A Tweet from the head of Platinum Games Atsushi Inaba reads "In THQ studio and IP selling off auction, Darksiders is unsold? [We] wanna buy it…on the cheap…"
Platinum Games' JP Kellams also recently sent a Tweet to Lead Designer of both Darksiders games Haydn Dalton that reads "If anyone is interested in working with/at Platinum let me know how to get a hold of you via DM." Cureton responded, "Add me up. I'll send you my info via DM."
El33tonline thinks very highly of the Darksiders series, and so it's with a heavy heart that we read this Tweet from Haydn Dalton, "There was a shimmer on a slither of hope, that at one point, there'd be a Darksiders III: 4 Player Co-Op; It rode off into the sunset today."
We will live in hope that one day we will see Darksiders III and get to take another incredible journey with the next Horsemen of the Apocalypse.

My existing Outlook 2010 PST file is corrupted and it cannot be repaired.
I don't delete my server e-mails (POP3) so all my 'old' e-mails are still on the server. How do I download them all again (there's about 3 years' worth (2GB 'ish of data going by the file size of my corrupted PST file)?
In the Outlook navigation space, a root folder containing about 20 sub-folders (all with old e-mails in) just disappeared today, so I can't access any of the old e-mails that were stored in the sub folders of the inbox.
But not all the inbox sub folders disappeared and for those that remain, I can still acess the old e-mails (which are presumably in the uncorrupted part of the corrupted .pst file).
How do I download all my old E-mails from the server? Do I have to make a new PST file for them to go into?

This is my favourite resort on the whole island, and I have been to quite a few. It is on the beautiful beach of Baan Tai, where you can walk soooo far out in the crystal clear sea along the sand barge. Its very well priced/cheap accommodation, great for young travellers. The food is simple but good and the Thai family that run resort are amazing. I have stayed with them three times now and really enjoy going back to visit them, they are so interested in getting to know you and to hear about your trip (even if they dont understand what you are saying) and they are always running about trying to care for your needs. Very honest people too. The rooms are clean and do the job. There is also a hotel next door, called Moonstar which is more expensive to stay at but the food is good and the bar guy Nyan is the nicest man in the entire world!
I highly recommend this resort, even if you are attending The Full Moon party and you think you need to be staying in Haad Rin, Ive been to three Full Moons and think its ideal to stay on Baan Tai beach so you get away from the hustle and bustle in the day time and can chill out and get over your hangover. Then just take a short taxi drive into Haad Rin in the evenings to get merry. Only costing 100baht a journey (£2).

I was just thinking it would be good to have port numbers with domain name at domain registrars.
For example if I have my site running at port 8000 I mean http://ipaddress:800 then in domain name if I use http://abc.com and port 8000 then I go to my home page
So that I don't have to use http://www.abc.com:8000 so that multiple servers can run in one OS.
Is there any complications in that?
Currently Apache handles that we have to use mod_rewrite things to make them work. But domain name can forward port numbers then that would be reduced

Arizona State and Notre Dame have reached an agreement that will still have the Fighting Irish playing at Sun Devil Stadium in 2014, ASU announced today.
The game will be played on Nov. 8, 2014, two weeks later than the originally scheduled date of Oct. 25. As a result of the agreement, the Arizona State at Notre Dame game in 2017 has been canceled.
"We're pleased that Notre Dame was able to resolve its scheduling issues in a way that allows it to play at Sun Devil Stadium in 2014," said ASU Athletics Director Steve Patterson. "The game will now be played on Nov. 8, 2014. Our entire Sun Devil family–season ticket holders, fans, students, alumni–and our entire community here in the Valley have been looking forward to playing Notre Dame in Tempe since the original agreement was signed in 2008.
"While the game at Notre Dame in 2017 has been canceled, what is most important to us is that the game in Tempe has been saved. Under a separate agreement we also play Notre Dame at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas on October 5, 2013.
"These are exciting times for our football program and having a special opponent like Notre Dame travel to ASU will make for another memorable experience."
Back in April, ESPN reported that Notre Dame had dropped Arizona State from their 2014 football schedule. The report caused ASU to release a statement that they "still have a valid contract with the University of Notre Dame to play football in 2014. We look forward to hosting them at Sun Devil Stadium."
Retaining the home game against the Irish is a big boost to Arizona State's 2014 non-conference slate. The Sun Devils also host Weber State and travel to New Mexico.
Per AZCentral.com, Arizona State was concerned that the loss of the Notre Dame game would have a significant impact on ticket sales and other financial areas. The Sun Devils also scoffed at Notre Dame's replacement suggestion of Purdue.
Notre Dame still has to cancel two games from their 2014 football schedule. The addition of five ACC games per season left the Fighting Irish two over the limit of 12 games.
Based on the fact that Notre Dame shopped Purdue to Arizona State as a replacement, it seems likely that the Irish will eventually drop Purdue from their 2014 schedule. Other games that Notre Dame could target for cancellation are Rice, Northwestern, and at Temple.
Football Schedules
This is only going to add more speculation to the rumors of The Boilermakers traveling to BYU in 2014.
Please fill us in, haven't heard this one. Thanks in advance.
^^^^^^^^^ If we can't play Notre Dame – THIS I would like to see^^^^^^^^^
Good for Arizona State…didn't let the Irish weasel out of the trip to Tempe
Notre Dame is shopping us around so they do not have to give us any consideration. One of the teams that has shown the most interest in playing us is BYU. The Irish tried to pass us off to ASU their AD said "no thanks" and threatened to enforce their contract. They want to drop us and Temple to make way for the ACC portion of their schedule. That leaves us looking for a game on short notice in 2014. Before this ACC agreement BYU was anticipating ND to play at BYU in 2014.
That is why BYU is missing a game in 2014, it was supposed to be ND, with ND backing out and now playing at BYU in 2017 it leaves BYU with a game and when (not if) ND drops us in 2014 it is not bad for either team.
I would rather play ND, I am guessing BYU would rather play ND too. But while BYU and Purdue
are not gonna be getting picked up by NBC. Given the match up, I would have to guess it would be on ESPN2 worst case scenario.
Utah is a great place. I was out there during the 2002 Olympics, nice folks, beautiful place, good road trip.
Thanks. When would a return game in W Lafayette be? So you hear the 4 remaining ND-BYU games would start 2017? I presume this would mean games four consecutive years.
Thanks again for the info, sounds like an interesting game, like when non-traditional opponents play, particularly when out of region
Not sure if this is what you want to hear. I have only heard talk of 2 options.
#1. BYU plays @ ND Novemeber 23rd, 2013 and ND returns November 18th, 2017 and the series is over at that point.
#2. This gets tricky but it shows the power of Notre Dame. Same as above but BYU @ ND in 2015, BYU @ ND in 2021 and Notre Dame @ BYU in 2018 or 2019.
If you are a BYU fan this next part could be good or bad.
The 2018/2019 Game would not be in Provo. It is being discussed as an International game in Ireland or England, with BYU as the home team. Like when ND played Navy in Avia last season.
Good luck, hopefully we can both still play ND and each other going forward.
As an alum, I have heard ND vs BYU @ Old Trafford in 2018. If you are a fan of sports, there is great history at that particular stadium. It would be an excellent road trip for the Irish faithful and one this old man will not miss.
The location is still not decided. Ireland is still in the mix for this game in 2018.
As a BYU fan, I hope you're wrong about BYU not getting a home game in the series. (Playing in Ireland is not a home game.) I've been looking forward to seeing the Irish play in Provo, so it would be majorly disappointing to see them play the game in Ireland instead. Like most sports fans, I don't have the money sitting around to afford an expensive trip across the pond.
ND will still play at BYU in 2017. It is only if they decide to add another 3 games to the series, Notre Dame wants 2 home games and 1 away, if the away game is an international game.
Looks like ND has completed their 2015 opponents with the ovement of Temple. So next BYU-ND game will be 11/18/17?
As a Hurricanes and Sun Devils fan, I like seeing that Notre Dame has to play in Tempe. I hope ASU wins both matchups since ASU is on an upswing right now. ND usually wins in these issues but ASU getting a home game and a neutral game is cool.
I really don't like the trouble this ACC agreement is having on ND future scheduling. Seems like a half arse attempt to stay independent but also get in a conference. Having five games vs ACC each year is a bit much and I always liked ND not being locked into a conference and to have game where ever they want like Tempe as it helps being a national brand. Now we are canceling all the future opponents and all the ACC games with keep ND on the East Coast for over half the schedule with 2-3 ACC away games, navy and temple.
You want to be in Florida but only play fla at or Miami each year so max one game in fl for recruiting doesn't help. Need 2x games in Texas for recruiting and have Cali covered with Stanford/USC , then add a SEC school in Deep South LSU, Arkansas, Ole Miss so we can get in that recruiting area between Texas and Florida. Drop temple and UMASS to add another Fl , Texas or Deep South game and think you have top recruiting areas covered not just chasing the money.. Arizona is not bad to play in more west coast and Texas nearby exposure. Just my thoughts on our ND scheduling..

Physical conditioning does not make you a good boxer; it certainly contributes to your ability to be such. But, in and of itself, it is irrelevant.
dealtwith...I don't know you at all, but I'll venture a guess that you've spent no time actually boxing. The foundation of boxing is knowledge gained in the ring.
If you are going to argue otherwise, that running around a track or doing exercise will compensate, you are misguided. There is no substitute.
When have I ever claimed that some other exercise will compensate? The things I've talked about are supplementary, they add to and support your skill training. I would never claim that things like yoga, weights etc. are a substitute, I'd love to know how you're getting that. It's not either or, you need a bit of everything. Anything that helps you become more aware of your body and improves proprioception is going to help your boxing, you don't have one body for boxing and one body for everything else. Strength training accelerates motor learning as I mentioned before. You need to open your mind up a bit, you're not going to be the best boxer you can be if all you do is boxing.

Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...

Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Semiconductor materials and products firm ATMI has acquired Belgian biotech Artelis, which specializes in the development of bioprocesses and technologies for cell culture research and manufacturing scale-up. ATMI says the acquisition will add complementary biopharmaceutical process expertise to its existing capabilities.
ATMI was an early investor in Artelis and has been partnering with the firm since 2006 on the development of disposable technologies for life science research and manufacturing. "Artelis represents a compelling strategic fit for us and expands ATMI's commitment to the life sciences market," comments Mario Phiips, svp and general manager at ATMI LifeSciences. "While they're still at an early stage from a commercial ramp standpoint, their close collaboration with customers and world-class results in cell-line development and cell culture technology allow us to provide the biopharmaceutical sector with the industry's most comprehensive single-use solutions and technical support."
Artelis specializes in the development of disposable systems for cell culture. The firm's flagship product is the iCELLis™ 1000 bioreactor for protein and virus production, launched in 2010. Developed as a high cell-density, disposable cell culture platform, the iCELLis system achieves and maintains high cell densities on macrocarriers, providing 1,000 sq/m of cell-friendly growth support in a compact fixed-bed system, Artelis claims. The firm maintains the high-cell densities maintained by the bioreactor system effectively provides a 20- to 100-fold increase in volumetric productivity in comparison with conventional stirred tanks. As a result, the system allows the production of Phase III clinical batches in laboratory-style facilities, and can be used for both suspended and adherent cells with the same implementation method.
ATMI's business is divided into its semiconductor and life sciences operations. The latter segment, established as a collaboration with Artelis, specializes in the development of single-use bioprocess systems and consumables for the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries, including single-use disposable storage systems, mixers and bioreactors.

BEMIDJI -- Despite a big edge in shots and scoring opportunities the BSU women's hockey team couldn't find a way to get a win. The Beavers fell to St. Cloud State 3-1 in Western Collegiate Hockey Association action Friday night at the Sanford Center. BSU (8-11-2, 5-9-1 WCHA) outshot the Huskies 45-31 in the game but their only goal was a first-period Kristine Grenier tally that took a strange bounce off St. Cloud goaltender Julie Friend and in. It was Grenier's fifth goal of the season. After that it was the Huskies (4-16-3, 2-12-2 WCHA) that got the bounces.
SAULT STE. MARIE, Mich. -- The BSU men's hockey team needed a to catch a break. After going eight games without a victory and being held 0-for-9 on the power play in last weekend's series against Northern Michigan, a trip to Sault Ste. Marie, Mich., proved to be just what the Beavers needed. The Beavers scored three times on the power play -- including two goals by freshman right wing Brendan Harms -- and cruised to a 5-2 win over Lake Superior State in Western Collegiate Hockey Association at Taffy Abel Arena.
BEMIDJI -- After splitting with Minnesota State Mankato on the road last weekend and earning just three points, the BSU women's hockey team finds itself in a precarious situation against St. Cloud State this weekend. The Beavers (8-10-2 overall, 5-8-1 WCHA), who currently sit in fifth place in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association standings with 17 points, would prefer a fourth-place conference finish and a first-round WCHA playoff game at the end of the season.
BEMIDJI -- After losing a two-goal first-period lead, Bemidji High School hockey coach Wade Chiodo was just relieved to get out of Crookston with a victory. Noah Burns scored the game-winning goal 17 seconds into the third period and the Lumberjacks defeated the Pirates 3-2. "We won the game," Chiodo said. "We seemed like we just didn't have a lot of jump. It was one of those games where you walk out of there just glad to get a 'W.'" The Lumberjacks, who won their third straight game to improve to 7-6, took an early 2-0 lead into the first intermission.
BEMIDJI -- It's been a while since the BSU men's hockey team won-- eight games in fact -- but the Beavers have been here before. Last season the Beavers endured a long 12-game winless streak that spanned nearly all of 2013. The Beavers aren't comparing this years' streak to last year, but the veterans on the team seem to know how to power through stretches like this one.
BEMIDJI — Failure to capitalize on scoring opportunities once again led to a loss for the BSU men's hockey team. BSU went 0-for-6 on the power play and Northern Michigan's...
CLOQUET — The Bemidji girls basketball team once again had bad luck in Cloquet. Despite trailing just 23-18 at halftime the Lumberjacks lost their way midway through the second half...

BEMIDJI — The BSU women's hockey team played well in 2013 — at least, the Beavers played just about as well as any team that faced three top-five ranked teams...

In fairness, Dan, there's also the rampant alcoholism to consider. That'll affect your judgment.
Yeah, I've never understood the "we have our own laws, thanks anyway" approach of the Church. Call the fucking cops FIRST. It's got nothing to do with the diocese.
Or are conspiracies and pedophile rings somehow less criminal when child rapists and their accomplices claim to be Jesus Christs representatives on earth?
Yes. That was Don Juan's essential realization in Moliere's play, and also one of Moliere's favorite topics.
Seriously, though, nail the fuckers. I want to see a raging storm of subpoenas, search warrants, arrests. Find out who did it and put them on trial for it. In public. Then, if they're convicted, put them away for a long time.
Gotta wonder about other hypocrisies in that group. I wonder for instance what happens if a nun get pregnant (say by a member of the clergy) and decides to have an abortion. Think she would be protected by the higher-ups? Would mamma superior cover for her?
Also I do not buy the booze defense for this or any sexual assault.
Word to the wise- spelling errors are that much more apparent when they're bold.
(And sometimes spell check doesn't work)
I know Slog is spontaneous and all that, but nothing undermines an author faster than a spelling mistake.
I am in no way defending the actions of the Archdiocese of Chicago, or of Cardinal George, but to answer the question of what the church thinks about their actions, the idea is that it is necessary to follow church law. While you would think the love thy neighbor would get to be the most important, since Jesus said it was, when they look at situations like this the focus is on forgiveness. One of the basic tenets of the church is the idea that G-d (through the church) forgives all sins if the person is truly repenent. This is the justification for re-locationing of priests, that they sinned but repented, and thus deserve G-d's and the church's forgiveness. The idea that G-d alone can not only forgive a man's sins, but cure him of his sinful desires then leds to the lack of therapy or any sort of check-up on people who have been moved after confessing their sins. They also, of course, just accept the perpetrators claim that they are sorry and will not do it again.
@6 - That is the most G-d d-mned f-cked up sh-t I've heard in my m-therf-cking life, G-d d-mmit.
Seriously though, unless you're a wig-wearing, long skirts-only, doesn't ride a bike on Saturdays Orthodox Jew, just type God, God dammit.
Megan W @6,
"when they look at situations like this the focus is on forgiveness"
Yes, but I would add that by choosing to focus on forgiveness, church officials also have struck on a great strategy for keeping their names out of the mud.
Wow, aren't coincidences like that neat?
Keep on preaching about this Dan! This shit sucks and needs to be exposed and stopped. This is seriously fucked up!
A question and a comment...
Is child molesting the same thing as rape? (For some reason I thought some body part of the molestor had to penetrate the molestee to be considered rape... Maybe I'm just too old.)
I like the "G-D" spelling. Reminds me of my dog-training lists, where many people "thank doG".
Catholic Church = Mafia
More question...
If the molestee is gay - and maybe finds the molestation 'welcome' - does it still count as molesting and and/or rape?
What's tha age cut-off? (Cut-on?)
Megan: no, it doesn't matter one teeny tiny bit what it says in church law. Church law doesn't supercede the LAW law. The question of what THE CHURCH should do about molester priests is moot; molesting a child is against the LAW law, and a cop ought to be there arresting the SOB before the bishop ever hears about it. And in a court, nobody gives a shit what it says in the canon. Nor should they.
Billions of dollars in settlements have been paid by the Catholic church to those whom they've grievously harmed in mind (religious brainwashing) just as much as in body (fondling, fingering and fucking of trustworthy minors).
Fortunately, the Catholic church has endless resources, but with further exposes and expensive settlements sure to come, slicing up the Sistine Chapel ceiling into souvenir plates and hawking them on e-Bay will provide ready cash for countless prosecutable revelations yet unrevealed.
Since these problems don't arise in Orthodox churches, can they still seriously argue that celibacy has nothing to do with it?
What I want to know is why McCormack is only serving 5 years.
The Catholic Church is a racketeering conspiracy, plain and simple. They all agreed to hide, enable, foster, and protect child rapists and child molestors. They commit fraud on a daily basis by soliciting funds from parishioners telling the lie that they are a religious organization.
It's all about lies, money and power. It's the same as the mafia. God damn them all to hell.
The cops arrested the pervert and then let him go. What was the cardinal supposed to do?
Notice that all the pedophiles have Irish surnames, btw.
According to the Illinois Dept of Corrections, McCormack was convicted of 5 counts, yes 5, of aggravated sexual abuse victim less than 13 yr. He received 5 years for each count, but his parole date is less than 2.5 years of his initial incarceration.
Maybe Catholic thought has changed? When I was
in Catholic school, I got more time than that for chewing gum in church.
I hope his fellow inmates aren't as forgiving as his church.
Yes. My bff worked in a clinic for years, and she said they got nuns and missionaries (and the same young women who protested outside every weekend) all the time. Many were repeats. She told me that they always freaked out on her and asked if she thought God would forgive them.
@ 17 - yeah, it sounds like this cardinal asshole could be tried pretty easily under RICO, although it'd be the ballsy Chicago/Illinois prosecutor who'd try that.
@ 19 - no way a pedophile priest doesn't get placed in protective custody.
More outrageousness from Cardinal George in the Chicago Sun-Times:
"Cardinal Francis George and one of his top bishops are stirring up controversy because of statements they recently made criticizing lawsuits from victims of priest sexual abuse."
In a letter obtained by the Sun-Times, the cardinal earlier this year wrote to the parents of a victim and apologized "for the terrible abuse suffered by your son at the hands of Ken Ruge and Robert Becker," two Chicago area priests who are now dead.
The cardinal also wrote that money was the motivation for proposed state legislation that would allow adults who were abused by priests as children to sue their perpetrators in cases where statutes of limitation have expired.
"This is irresponsible, is not about the safety of children as the sponsor claims, and is clearly, to me at least, about money," he wrote."
The article also contains this astounding bit:
"Meanwhile, Bishop Thomas Paprocki said in a sermon to lawyers recently that abuse suits undermine "the charitable works and religious freedom of the church." The Chicago bishop, who said he is George's representative on the review board that scrutinizes abuse allegations, wants some protection for charities.
"This attack is particularly directed against bishops and priests," he said, adding that the principal force behind the attacks "is none other than the devil."
"True freedom will come when the last brick falls off of the last church and kills the last priest"
Well, at least they are going to Hell. They have that to look forward to.
Seriously though, I had to listen to my neighbors whine about how people condemn the whole Catholic church unfairly because of this stuff. Is it just me or is that totally lame? Seems like with how often it happens and how much has been covered up, that there's no way to say this is a fringe thing that shouldn't affect the Church's reputation.
Your child gets molested and you call the church instead of the cops? Wow, those Catholics really know how to control the flock.
So...seriously. How many kids need to get molested for people to realize that this whole church thing is psychologically unhealthy and just generally fucked up?
