3 History The first railroad to operate here was the Aurora Branch Railroad. They began operations in 1849 along a 12 mile stretch of track from Aurora to West Chicago and connecting to the Chicago & Galena Union Railroad (later the Chicago & North Western Railroad). This original section is modeled as the West Chicago Branch. The railroad was granted a charter to connect Aurora to Mendota, Illinois and later to connect with the Illinois Central Railroad near LaSalle. The railroad conducted a series of acquisitions and mergers and renamed itself The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad in During this time, in 1854 the charter to connect Aurora to Chicago was granted. This section of track was constructed between 1862 and 1864 and would later be known as the racetrack. The mainline widened to its current famous tripletrack configuration between Chicago and Downers Grove by In the 1920s triple track was extended to Aurora giving the route the configuration seen today. The CB&Q debuted the Zephyrs on this route and ushered in high-speed rail service for the United States. This is also the line that ended high-speed rail service in the United States. In 1946 the Advance Flyer and the Exposition Flyer crashed just east of Naperville Station at the Loomis St crossing. Forty-five people were killed with over 100 injured. The fallout resulted in restricting all railroads to speeds less than 80mph unless a number of safety features, including in-cab signaling, were in place. In 1970 the CB&Q merged with the Great Northern Railroad and formed the Burlington Northern. Another merger in 1995 created the BNSF Railway that operates here today. The line is the eastern terminus of BNSF's Northern TransCon, and also the eastern terminus of both BNSF's Coal Road from Wyoming and the Oil Road from North Dakota. The facilities along the route have changed greatly over the years. Gone are much of the industry track and spur lines in Aurora, the auto facility in Naperville, and many of the roundhouses that dotted the line. Cicero Yard opened in 1958 as a hump-type freight yard. Post Santa Fe merger this facility was converted to an intermodal yard to serve the growing traffic of the Northwest and the smaller intermodal yard at Western Avenue adjacent to UP's Global 1 Yard was closed. These changes have streamlined the route to handle the growing needs of the modern industry and keep the freight and passengers moving. Operations The route is amenable to both commuter and freight operations. An average weekday sees over 100 passenger trains including 94 commuter trains and 8 Amtrak runs. Commuter service runs between Chicago Union Station and Aurora, stopping at 24 stations in between. Amtrak runs its Southwest Chief & California Zephyr service here and also provides local service with the Illinois Zephyr and the Carl Sandburg. There are also over 50 daily freight trains of many types, including intermodal, coal, oil, and mixed freight. In addition there are many transfer runs, both between BNSF subdivisions in Chicago and to other railroads in the region. The route extends west to Montgomery where there are several industries to service. From Aurora, the single-track West Chicago Branch extends north and east to more industries. The route has several rail yards, all of which have been faithfully modeled. The Hill yard, adjacent to Aurora station, is Page 3
4 used to stage commuter trains for eastbound runs. Eola yard, east of Aurora, is used for general freight operations. The BNSF intermodal yard in Cicero also has engine-service facilities and a freight-car shop. BNSF also has yard trackage in the Western Avenue area, running parallel to the main. Finally, as we turn north and approach Union Station, we see the 'Chicago' commuter coach yard on the west and Amtrak's coach yard and service facilities on the east. There are several interchange points along the racetrack with connections to Canadian National, Norfolk Southern, CSX and Union Pacific. The St. Charles Air Line, a small connector line, begins as a long ramp near the Canal Street Wye. It then crosses over the coach yard on its way eastward where it connects (off route) to another CN line near Lake Michigan. NS has trackage rights over the Racetrack, as does CSX and occasionally CP. Historically, so have CN and UP. The route as presented to the player is best suited for commuter service, yard switching & shunting, local freight delivery, and interchange operations. Locomotives and Rolling Stock The Racetrack route includes two types of locomotives, a cab coach, and a variety of rolling stock, all of which are representative of what you would see on the actual railroad. First the locomotives: EMD F40PH, 'Chicago' Commuter 'Chicago' Bi-Level Cab Coach, 8500 series EMD GP38-2, former BN EMD GP38-2, BNSF Rebuild Page 4
5 Each locomotive is also available as a driverless ("ND") variant. Driverless locomotives are intended to be used when a locomotive is placed anywhere other than at the head end of a consist. Be aware that the Bi-Level Cab Coach is blueprinted as an engine, whereas the Trailer Coach (see below) is blueprinted as a wagon. Find these items, respectively, in the Engines & Tenders and the Rolling Stock dropdown menus of the scenario editor.

The white strobe (actually it's amber) also operates automatically whenever the bell is ringing. This is a pair of switches that should normally be left in the default (up) position. In the OFF position, in non cabsignal territory only, they will disable the cab signal display. In the default (up) position, this switch disables penalty braking. Penalty braking will occur after a set time period following initiation of a speeding or vigilance alarm. Click on the switch if you wish to enable penalty braking. Both of the engineer's sun shades are operable with the mouse only. The cab light switch is on the ceiling next to the light itself (engineer's side only). A speeding alarm is canceled when the engineer places the train brake in the suppression notch. In actual practice, these gauges serve as a reference so the engineer can continue watching the tracks ahead. In Train Simulator, these are simulated pressure gauges. The TMS (Train Management System) displays a visual alarm, followed shortly thereafter by an audible alarm when either of the following happens: The engineer does not operate the throttle or brake controls for 90 seconds (vigilance alarm); or the train speed exceeds the track speed limit (speeding alarm). A vigilance alarm is canceled by pressing the Alarm Acknowledge button in the cab, the Q key, or the alarm icon on the driver HUD. A speeding alarm is canceled by applying suppression braking (or using shortcut key Shift ' ( Shift apostrophe ) to slow the train. In actual practice, failure to respond to either of these conditions will initiate penalty braking. In this simulation, penalty braking is normally disabled (see Note 4). Page 6
7 9 The Aspect Display Unit displays the status of the next set of signals. From top to bottom: Clear (green), Approach Limited/Approach Medium (yellow over green), Approach (yellow), Restricted (red over yellow). 10 This display helps the engineer confirm which of the locomotive's forward lights are on. 11 F40PHs used in commuter service in Chicago utilize blended braking so there is no separate dynamic brake control.

Exceptions and additions are as follows: 1 The headlight switch has a dim position and bright position. Use the dim light in places like Chicago Union Station to reduce over-illumination of close-in features. Both the H key shortcut and the driver HUD headlight switch override the manual switch, causing the headlights to operate in traditional fashion. 2 The ditch light switch defaults to the AUTO position. It also functions in the other positions: OFF, Continuous ON, and Continuous FLASH. 3 You can also mouse-click on the light itself to toggle it on and off. 4 In the cab coach this pneumatic switch ties directly into the brake system. The default ( OUT ) position disables penalty braking. Move the handle to the IN position ( or use shortcut key Ctrl D ) if you wish to enable penalty braking. 5 Both of the window panels on the engineer's side can be operated using the mouse. Page 8
9 Horn and Bell In both the F40PH and the cab coach, activating the horn will also cause the bell to ring and the ditch lights to flash for a set time period. Switching the bell on by itself will cause the bell to ring and the ditch lights to flash until the bell is manually switched off. Commuter trains should use only the bell in the quiet zones (QZ) of the Racetrack in advance of grade crossings and station platforms. Use of the horn in quiet zones is permitted only when passing another train stopped at a station, when approaching a work zone, or to avoid an emergency situation. The Racetrack is designated as QZ between Mileposts 33 & 0. Head End Power Passenger locomotives move the train over the rails, but more often than not they must also supply electrical power to the passenger consist. The F40PHs used for commuter service in Chicago are a good example of this kind of duty. In order for the locomotive's generator to supply this head-end power (HEP), the prime mover must operate continuously at 900 rpm. In normal operation, the locomotive's speed is controlled by varying the rpm of the prime mover. In HEP mode, speed is controlled by varying the generator excitation. In Train Simulator, a player train can be operated in HEP mode or not at the player's option. HEP mode currently has no effect on locomotive performance. A HEP switch is provided on the back panel in the F40PH cab which can be toggled on and off by clicking on it, or by using the P key. In HEP mode, the rpm indicator on the player HUD ramps up from the 315 rpm idle rate to a maximum of 900 rpm in about 45 seconds. The locomotive audio is adjusted in response to the current rpm value. You can also initiate HEP mode in scenarios that feature operation of the train from the cab coach. In cab view, briefly enter the F40PH cab ( Ctrl + ), throw the HEP switch, and return. F40PHs in AI trains operate in HEP mode by default. F40PHs in Free Roam scenarios start in HEP mode but if the locomotive is drivable, HEP mode can be turned off, or back on, as desired. Page 9

VLP stock typically has low-resolution textures, little or no surface detail, opaque windows and no interiors. VLP items include a 'Chicago' commuter train set (F40PH locomotive, trailer coach and cab coach), and an Amtrak intercity train set (P42DC locomotive, Superliner coach). The 'Chicago' commuter train set is comprised of wagons only, including the locomotive. Use VLP commuter train sets in the western portion of the Chicago coach yard, and in the Hill yard at Aurora. For player or AI commuter trains, use the fully developed models described in the previous sections. VLP intercity train sets can be used in the eastern, Amtrak portion of the Chicago coach yard or in AI duty. The Quick Drive scenarios included in this package illustrate how VLP items can be used.

16 Signals A variety of signal types can be seen on the route, representing different stages of upgrade. Most of the signals are the modern, hooded Safetran style, although some older signals styles are also present. The signal aspects display in accordance with the following BNSF rules. Also shown are the corresponding cab ADU displays. Dwarf signals display the same aspects as high signals Rule Aspects Cab ADU Name Indication CLEAR Proceed. APPROACH LIMITED Proceed prepared to pass next signal not exceeding 60 MPH and be prepared to enter diverging route at prescribed speed. ADVANCE APPROACH Proceed prepared to pass next signal not exceeding 50 MPH and be prepared to enter diverging route at prescribed speed. APPROACH MEDIUM Proceed prepared to pass next signal not exceeding 40 MPH and be prepared to enter diverging route at prescribed speed. APPROACH RESTRICTING Proceed prepared to pass next signal at restricted speed. (Note: restricted speed is usually 15 MPH but can be less.) APPROACH Proceed prepared to stop at next signal, trains exceeding 30 MPH immediately reduce to that speed. (Note: Speed is 40 MPH for Amtrak and Commuter trains.) DIVERGING CLEAR Proceed on diverging route not exceeding prescribed speed through turnout. DIVERGING APPROACH MEDIUM Proceed on diverging route not exceeding prescribed speed through turnout prepared to pass next signal not exceeding 35 MPH. DIVERGING APPROACH Proceed on diverging route not exceeding prescribed speed through turnout; approach next signal preparing to stop, if, exceeding 30 MPH immediately reduce to that speed. (Note: Speed is 40 MPH for Amtrak and Commuter trains.) RESTRICTING Proceed at restricted speed STOP Stop. Page 16
17 Signage Left to Right: Milepost; Speed Limit (P = Passenger, F = Freight); Reduced Speed ahead; Whistle. Whistle signs may be accompanied by an optional 'QZ' sign and an optional number sign as shown here. QZ stands for Quiet Zone. The Racetrack between Aurora and Chicago is a quiet zone. Accordingly, engineers must not use the horn at grade crossings or to signal train movements in quiet zones; the bell is used instead. Activating the bell also causes the ditch lights to alternately flash. In Quiet Zones, the horn may be used only when passing a train stopped at a station. The number sign, where present, warns that the indicated number of grade crossings are directly ahead and in quick succession. Points west of Aurora (Milepost 33) and along the West Chicago Branch are not designated Quiet Zones and appropriate horn usage is expected. Page 17
18 Speed Limits The speed limit on most of the racetrack main line is 70 mph for passenger service and 50 mph for freight service (P-70/F-50), with the following major exceptions. P-65/F-45 on the main line from just west of Fairview Ave station to west of Downers Grove. P-60/F-25 on the main line beginning west of Western Ave station and points east; then reduced to P-40/F-20 about midway to Halsted St station; then reduced again to P-25/F-10 at approach to Canal Street Wye. P-55/F-40 on the main line beginning west of Eola yard and westward; then P-35/F-35 at the Fox River crossings; then P-79/F-50 from east approach to Montgomery and points west. P-35/F-20 beginning at the branch into Hill Yard, reduced to P-20/F-20 in the Aurora platform area. P-35/F-35 at most crossovers, though some are P-30/F-30. P-20/F-20 on most of the West Chicago Branch; reduced to P-10/F-10 at Hill yard approach. P-15/F-15 or P-10/F-10, as posted, in industrial sidings and spurs. P-10/F-10 in Hill Yard, Eola Yard, Cicero Yard, Hawthorne Yard, Western Ave Yard, UP Global 1 Yard, both Chicago Coach Yards and inside Chicago Union Station. The preceding is for general guidance only. Other exceptions exist. Always watch for trackside speed signs and keep an eye on the driver's HUD. Page 18

HAVANA -- Cuba's two-time world champion Julio Cesar La Cruz will have to sit out the upcoming 4th World Series of Boxing (WSB) match in Havana on Saturday, on doctors' orders, a sports official said Wednesday.
Cuba's National Boxing Commissioner Alberto Puig said doctors recommended La Cruz, who is recovering from a gunshot wound to the hip sustained during a robbery two weekends ago, skip the fight to avoid further injury.
Puig said Emmanuel Reyes will step in for La Cruz (81 kilograms) in the fight between the Cuban Domadores (Wranglers) and Mexico's Guerreros (Warriors) at Havana's Sports City.
According to Puig, doctors said that though the boxer was recovering well, he shouldn't get in the ring just yet, as he still needs medical monitoring.
On Jan. 4, La Cruz and fellow national team boxer Leinier Pero (91 kg) were held up in La Cruz's hometown of Camaguey, 530 km east of Havana, with La Cruz getting shot.
A small bullet lodged in the top of his left hip and doctors decided to leave it there, saying it presented no health threats, and treated him only with antibiotics and painkillers. He was discharged from the hospital 24 hours later.
His two attackers, who were identified and captured, said they didn't know who they were robbing.
La Cruz, 24, was voted one of the best Cuban athletes of 2013, and the best fighter in the Americas in 2011, according to the American Boxing Confederation.
Reyes, who has twice won the bronze medal nationally, will make his debut in the WSB fight as an opponent of the Moldovan Petro Ciobanu.
The other Cuban boxers in the Series include Olympic medal- winner Roniel Iglesias, fighting visitor Hector Reyes; two-time world champion Lazaro Alvarez, who will look for his third victory at the Series by facing the lightweight Raul Curiel; and flyweight Orlando Cervantes, who will fight Gerardo Huitzil.
In the super heavyweight division, Jose Angel Larduet is looking for his first win in the tournament, fighting Puerto Rican Gerardo Bisbal, who has one win and an overall score of 6-2.
At present Cuba's Wranglers are leading in the WSB's Group B with 15 points, and are the favorites to defeat the Warriors, who have just two points. If Cuba wins, it qualifies for the next stage of the international competition.
The WBS is a semi-professional competition sponsored by the Swiss-based International Amateur Boxing Association (AIBA).
This is the first time Cuba competes in an international competition under the rules of professional boxing in more than 50 years.

Aquarena Kitzbuhel Reviews

Aquarena Mar 24, 2011
Aquarena is the public pool in Kitzbuhel. It is a large, pleasant pool and a nice place to recover from a day's skiing. It is close to the bottom of the main Gondola.
There are two main areas, a shallow pool for relaxing in and a deeper pool for swimming lengths. The shallower pool has bubbly places and waterfall showers, as well as a nice place with a current to play in and a children's pool with a little slide. For older children (and me) there are two flumes, one blue one you go down in a tube and a black one with sparkly lights. Neither are very fast, but they are fun. Other facilities include a small amusement arcade, a sauna (the naked kind) and a very nice café selling ice cream, snacks, soft drinks and beer. There are spacious changing rooms with room for families and good hairdryers.
Entrance is around the 6 euro mark. I am not sure about disabled access – I think you'd have to phone ahead to check. Everyone speaks English. You can even hire a swimming costume if you've forgotten yours.

November 7, 2013 — Corindus Vascular Robotics announced the launch of its CorPath One Stent Program. The goal of the program is to raise awareness of the potential to decrease longitudinal geographic miss (LGM) caused by sub-optimal stent placement, as well as the patient safety and financial benefits that can result from using the CorPath Vascular Robotic System to place just one stent per lesion in percutenous coronary interventions (PCI). Corindus is offering a $1,000 credit to hospitals that use two or more stents per lesion in qualifying coronary angioplasties performed with the CorPath System.
"No matter how good we are as physicians, we are still human and imprecision in stent placement or stent size selection can occur," said Ronald Caputo, M.D., director, cardiac services and cardiology research, St. Joseph's Hospital, Syracuse, N.Y., current CorPath user and participant, CorPath PRECISE trial conducted in 2011. "Introducing CorPath into our cath lab has provided substantial benefits to both physicians and patients in terms of our ability to more accurately select the stent size and enhance dexterity in delivering it to a precise location. Ultimately, these capabilities may result in improved outcomes for the patient and an enhanced PCI procedure for the physician."
Up to 47 percent of stents are not optimally positioned. In an attempt to avoid inferior clinical outcomes due to LGM, the CorPath System was designed to bring robotic precision to coronary angioplasty procedures and stent positioning.
"Although manual PCIs are widely accepted in cath labs across the country, robotic-assisted PCIs could provide some notable advantages over the current care paradigm," said Venkat Rajan, medical device analyst, Frost & Sullivan. "As seen in other procedures, the introduction of robotic-assisted systems has often afforded specialists unparalleled control and precision when attempting critical life-saving procedures."
PCI procedures performed in the United States use more than 1.2 stents per lesion, according to the national average. A number of factors can cause additional stenting, including challenges in visualizing the lesion, improper stent selection due to inaccurate lesion length assessment and misplacement of the stent during device delivery. In cases where more than one stent is used, the hospital's procedure profitability is reduced substantially.
"The CorPath One Stent Program is evidence that Corindus stands behind their product and its potential to avoid excess stenting and provide significant financial and safety benefits to the hospital and the patient," said John Cannizzaro, M.D., administrator, cardiovascular service line, St. Joseph's Hospital.
The CorPath System is the first and only U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-cleared technology that enables precise, robotic-assisted angioplasties to open arteries and restore blood flow in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). During a CorPath angioplasty procedure, the interventional cardiologist sits in the radiation shielded interventional cockpit. Using robotic precision, the interventional cardiologist advances stents and guidewires via a joystick with millimeter-by-millimeter precision. CorPath may improve clinical outcomes by enabling precise measurement of the anatomy, which could potentially lead to better stent placements.
Demonstrations of the CorPath System took place at the 25th annual Cardiovascular Therapeutics Annual Conference scientific symposium (TCT 2013) in San Francisco.

Scenario A: Transport in Cities
In 1951 New York city traffic looked like this:
And two generations later in 2011 it looked like this
Scenario B: Electronic Transport
In 1951 a computer looked like this:
And in 2011 it looked like this:
# # #
What's the point?
To get a grip on this striking comparison, a first step might usefully be to take note of the fact while Scenario A has steadily declined world-wide over the last two generations, Scenario B has seen an unimaginable increase in efficiency and sheer power on the order of trillions of times.
Now some may conclude that this difference is a result of the fact that we have not applied enough technology to Scenario A. I would beg to differ. It is because we have not applied enough brains.

They also do cookery courses, not that we have taken part, but if they are as good as their food then they will be very good indeed.

On May 1, 2013, Tom Hanks attended the 2013 Tony Awards: The Meet The Nominees Press Junket along with other Lucky Guy nominees George C. Wolfe and co-star Courtney B. Vance. They are respectively nominated for Best Director Of APlay and Best Performance By An Actor In A Featured Role In A Play. Remember, the 2013 Tony Awars Ceremony will take place on June 9th and will air live on CBS at 8/7c.
Unfortunately, we haven't been able to find any video about this event yet but you can at least see photos in our gallery.
Tom Hanks has been gathering numerous awards nominations for his portrayal of Mike McAlary and has just been awarded with the 2013 Theatre World Award that recognizes six actors and six actresses for their debut performance in a Broadway or Off-Broadway production. It is not a competition and is it only given once.
The 69th Annual Theatre World Award Ceremony will take place on June 3rd at 6:45 pm at the Music Box Theatre, New York.
Lucky Guy : Opening Night at Broadway
April 03, 2013 - 0 comment
The opening night for Nora Ephron's Lucky Guy took place on Monday at the Broadhurst Theater, after a month of previews.
Tom Hanks got a standing ovation and even broke down in tears at the end of the show, when a curtain pulled back on stage to reveal a large portrait of Nora Ephron, who died last July.
The response was not just from friends and fans because they like Hanks, but because his portrayal of Mike McAlary is such a moving, funny, and lovely experience.
We added several press articles and reviews of the play in our press archive. They seem to all agree on one thing: Tom Hanks's performance Mike McAlary as we can read titles like Tom Hanks makes solid Broadway debut, Tom Hanks shines in Lucky Guy...
You can watch two videos about the opening night, one was made by the BBC and the other one by SkyNews. Click on each thumbnail to access the respective video.
We also added almost a hundred photos of the curtain call and after party that you can see in our gallery.

degradation of signal in IP samples - (Apr/03/2012 )
I'm new to the area of IP and western blotting. I'm trying to look at the interaction between two proteins and after many attempts have been able to get the conditions to work for the IP/co-IP. I have noticed that once I run my IP samples and freeze them at -80C or -20C and when I try to reuse them to run the blots ( after boiling them again @ 100C for ~ 5min) that my signal has been going away. Both in the IP samples and the control in both IP and Co-IP situations. .
is it that my protein is getting degraded? I was wondering if there is any advice how to get around this issue.
Since I need to blot for several other proteins I can't run all gels at the same time.
did you check separation of polypeptides in gel or at least blot (f.i. Ponceau S staining)?
maybe problems with co-enriched proteases...
I have found from personal experience that over-boiling my samples can cause degradation. I used to boil my samples for 7-10 min, run them, freeze leftover, and boil again for 7 min before running them later. After doing this a few times I had varying levels of signal, even in housekeeping genes. I suspected this may have been due to degradation from boiling, so since then I have boiled my samples only once after adding SDS sample buffer, and I have not had the same issues, even when freezing leftover samples. That being said, if samples, even in SDS sample buffer, are frozen and thawed many times, I have also seen degradation happen as well.
even in the presence of sds and reducing agent, boiling samples for excessive amounts of time can cause proteins to aggregate.
if you want to use longer periods then you should use lower temperatures (eg 65 or 70C) for 10-20 minutes. this should properly denature the proteins without running the risk of aggregation.
Aliquot your samples in several tubes with SDS sample buffer. Sample from each tube is for single use.

Honda Teases The 2012 Civic Before Detroit Release
Today, Honda has just teased the new Civic, giving us a nice rendering of what the next generation compact car will look like.
Overall, the new design is very futuristic and takes some design elements from the European Civic. It does look quite good, but the chances of the new Civic actually looking like this are slim, as this is just a concept for now.
The front fascia is dominated by sweeping taillights that looked smoked, while two-slit fog lights flank a large air inlet. From what we have seen, the interior of the Civic will get mild tweaks, with a new steering wheel and some updated trim bits. The uniquely Civic bi-level instrumentation panel is still present.
There has been no word on any motor or transmission changes.
Expect the production version of the 2012 Civic to go on sale in the spring of 2012.
The current Civic has been aging quite quickly, as new models from Chevrolet and Hyundai are making the compact car look slow and dated.

The Mercedes-Benz E Class sedans, and particularly the all new 2017 E300, are vehicles that value innovative technology above all else. Described as featuring technology "no car has ever offered," the E300 may not be the flying car of the future we were promised, but it's the car of the future we deserve.
Perhaps the most intriguing feature available in the E Class is the PreSafe Sound system. A first for automakers, and certainly the only vehicle to provide this, the PreSafe Sound system is meant to protect occupants from the loud and traumatizing sounds of a crash. If the car senses a collision is imminent, it will emit "pink noise" through the audio system to "pre-trigger your ears" and drown out any impending sounds.
Have you ever imagined a world where cars talk to each other? That world is now as Car-to-X Communication technology allows E Class models to connect to each other on the road. This connected system warns cars of road conditions long before they're encountered, giving your vehicle the ability to see around corners.
Remember when side airbags were the latest innovation in safety? The time to push ahead has come and is on full display with the E Class PreSafe Impulse Side. If your car senses a side collision, it will inflate the front seat bolster to move you further away from the impact.
Though fully self driving cars are still being perfected, the E Class is the only vehicle on the market to come as close to fully engaged autopilot as science currently allows. Drive Pilot is far more than the smart cruise control we've come to know with abilities far beyond what any other car on the market has to offer. While most smart cruise control systems are limited to front and back monitoring, the E Class keeps an eye on sideways movement to make sure your vehicle stays in its lane, even on curves. Additionally, a tap of the turn signal can have your car changing lanes on its own.
Voice command and built in 3-D maps may be standard in most models, but the E Class surpasses the standard by providing drivers with lane advice prior to turns as well as a touch pad controller in the console for easy access to tap, click and write.
Each side of the steering wheel hosts a smartphone-like surface that puts control of virtually every aspect of your car at your fingertips.
The innovative technology is not the only draw to the E Class. The outstanding performance is worthy of praise all its own. With a 2.0-liter, 281 horsepower four-cylinder turbo engine that can propel drivers from zero to 60 in 6.2 seconds and a fuel efficiency of 30 highway miles to the gallon, the E300, with its $52,150 price tag, is nothing if not within reason.
For a car so ahead of the rest, the Mercedes-Benz E300 is a car to make you feel like you're living in 2117.

The Baltimore Ravens' Jameel McClain defied doctors' predictions and has returned to the NFL
Jameel McClain could see nothing but grass. It was pressed to his helmet, sticking through the facemask as he lay motionless, face-down on the turf at Washington's FedEx Field last December.
He felt nothing. His legs were numb. He couldn't move his arms. There was no sensation in his fingers.
Yet the Baltimore Ravens linebacker never lost consciousness, which allows him to recall details about the spinal injury -- and temporary paralysis in his limbs -- that threatened his career.
It happened on a stretch play late in a tight game. From his inside post, McClain bolted to his right, frantically pursuing Alfred Morris. He launched himself to prevent the Washington running back from getting a first down. Just like thousands of other times.
"I guess my head was in the wrong position," McClain told USA TODAY Sports.
McClain is preparing to play Sunday at the Cleveland Browns, off a bye and two weeks after a game at the Pittsburgh Steelers marked his first appearance -- and first full-speed contact -- since his scary injury. The impact of the hit reverberated through his neck.
"I never blacked out," he remembers. "Then all of a sudden, my legs came back. My hands came back. I said, 'I'm jogging off this field. I don't want no stretcher or nothing.' "
He jogged off the field. The original X-rays didn't reveal the spinal contusion that was noted in the following days. That diagnosis fueled a wide range of concerns -- including whether he would breathe normally -- that overshadowed football.
"I feel more than fortunate," McClain said. "More than blessed."
That McClain, healed without surgery, is playing again is undeniably one of the most inspiring stories this season in the NFL. Strikingly, Green Bay Packers tight end Jermichael Finley suffered a spinal contusion in a game against the Browns on the same Sunday that McClain returned.
Finley is starting the process familiar to McClain, whose return is seen by some as a miracle.
"There is a higher power," Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome told USA TODAY Sports.
Did Newsome think McClain would play again? "Any time I see someone laid out on the field, I don't think his chances are good."
Neither did the two specialists who told McClain he would never play football again.
The first determination that he had likely suffered a career-ending injury came early in McClain's rehabilitation process. Another doctor told McClain likewise last spring.
McClain refused to accept such finality.
"That's one man's opinion," said McClain, who was examined by at least eight specialists during his comeback. "I wasn't going to let his word shut me down.
"It was like, 'Let me show you that you're wrong.'<EN>"
Those who think that NFL players are overpaid, that they are lucky to be so privileged to make mega dollars playing a kid's game should really grasp what players like McClain -- and others not confronted with such a serious case -- sacrifice to play their violent sport.
Sure, no one forces them to play. But that doesn't diminish the risk. The next play could be their last play.
"How do I deal with knowing the next play might be my last?" McClain said. "I realize that I wasn't meant to be here. I was born in North Philly."
McClain grew up in Philadelphia, his family struggling through poverty so severe that he experienced homelessness. He says he witnessed the impact of drugs, violence and crime, and feels fortunate to have used football as a means to build his life.
"So why not live in this journey?" he said.
McClain's journey included changing the opinion of one of the doctors who told him he wouldn't play again. The doctor, whom McClain says is based in Dallas but won't name, gave the linebacker the final clearance in October to resume playing.
McClain started in the Week<EN>7 game at Pittsburgh, and had six tackles. He played 28 snaps against the Steelers and, according to defensive coordinator Dean Pees, didn't have a single missed assignment after just three days on the practice field.
But the comeback itself leaves the biggest impression.
"Amazing," said Pees, who was on the New England Patriots staff in 2005 when linebacker Tedy Bruschi returned from a stroke. "This guy had been told a few months back he was never going to play football again.
"I've seen one other guy do it, Bruschi after he had a stroke. And I saw Jameel do it here."
Pees sensed that McClain was a bit tentative in taking on blocks in his return game.
"But I don't think it was because he was scared," Pees said. "He just hadn't been out there doing it."
The experience forced McClain to think more than ever about life after football. He has some big plans that reveal more layers to character. In addition to becoming a motivational speaker, he wants to establish a leadership academy for at-youth risk.
"I've got a Plan B," he says, "but I never lost sight of Plan A."
Finley is out indefinitely, but wrote in a first-person account on SI.com that he intends to play again.
McClain doesn't know Finley, but plans to reach out to him.
"When I went through it, it really helped to talk to someone else who had dealt with something similar. Dwan Edwards was there for me," he said of the defensive lineman who is a former teammate. "To be able to share it is important."
Especially now.

Story highlights
- The criticism follows reports Tuesday that Ivanka Trump secured two patents in China for her clothing line
- Sarbanes' comments come as Democrats have kept up the pressure on the Trump family
(CNN)A top Democrat on the House Oversight Committee blasted the family of President Donald Trump on Tuesday, saying that the approval in China of patents for Ivanka Trump set a new bar for ethical conflicts.
"Just when you think you've seen it all, Trump offers something else that's even more outrageous and even more troubling," said Rep. John Sarbanes in an interview with CNN. "They set a new standard of ethical blindness."
The comment follows reports Tuesday that Ivanka Trump secured two patents in China for her clothing line following a dinner meeting with China President Xi Jinping. CNN has reached out to the White House for comment and has not yet received a response.
Sarbanes, a Maryland Democrat, also said he would like to see Erik Prince -- the top Republican financier and brother of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos -- testify before Congress about any interactions with Russians.
Sarbanes' comments come as Democrats have kept up the pressure on the Trump family to release more information about their global financial ties. Sarbanes noted Tuesday -- tax filing day this year -- that Trump's tax returns would answer almost all of those questions.
"We don't know what the potential of that is because there is so little transparency ... this thing with Ivanka, you can kind of view it as a tip of the iceberg," he said.
Democrats in Congress have had little success finding support for measures targeting Trump administration records and transparency, but a growing number of House Republicans have been joining calls for Trump to release his tax returns amid sustained town hall protests.

Rebeccas Dream[CD]
~ Ken Klimak
Product Notes
Review in 20th Century Guitar by Robert Silverstein A freewheeling solo guitar album that will surely appeal to jazz guitar fans. Rebecca's Dream is the perfect vehicle for Klimak's fretboard expertise and compositional skills. Inspired by classical masters like Stravinsky and jazz guitarists Jim Hall, John Scofield and more recently Larry Koonse, Klimak originally planned the album as a group effort only to find that the songs sounded quite good on their own. Recorded in California and South Carolina in late 2002, the 12 track Rebecca's Dream sounds clear as a bell. Klimak's performance on his Taylor 714-CE acoustic is in a word, breathtaking. Who is Kenny Klimak and what is this CD 'Rebecca's Dream'? A guy named Tim recently emailed me asking: 'Is this a guitar-bass-drums trio recording?' To which I responded: 'Actually, no. I've played in a variety of settings from an acoustic duo to a ten-piece band (full rhythm section, 5 horns). And ironically I love the freedom of working in a trio. But this is none of those things. I was putting together some ideas for a new project, and I wasn't quite sure of the instrumentation, although I was thinking of guitar (obviously), a bass player and, not really drums, but more like some sort of percussion. Anyway, what happened is I was recording these ideas using an acoustic guitar just to get the ideas on tape, and one day I thought, this doesn't sound bad just the way it is. So I ended up putting together this particular project in it's very simplest form. Just guitar.' I went in the studio and recorded six of the tracks in Los Angeles, California and the remaining 6 in Hilton Head, South Carolina. I toured with the legendary Dr. John and played on his album 'Gumbo' for Atlantic Records. I recorded with Henry Franklin (Bass Player) on his album 'The Skipper at Home' for Black Jazz Records. I've backed up a ton of singers and instrumentalist over the years, but I've never recorded or performed solo until I started this project. I've found that this project has been both challenging and rewarding. As a result of it's undertaking and completion, I feel I've created a CD that has a timeless quality about it, which I'm quite proud of, but more importantly, I've learned something about myself as a musician and composer. Hope you enjoy it!

Did XO beat RSB after we guilted him into setting his lineup?
sadly no, that would have been amazing though.
Blow me, everyone.
Ur gay.
I am very thankful for them and allowing me to get the win this week against you
I can't be that mad, I mean, I would have been if I had someone on my bench go for 30. But you can't be that upset when you only sit one guy who had 8 more points and lose by 30. Just how things roll sometimes.
Would anyone in our current live draft be interested in a money league next year? Not much, maybe $10/20 to keep people more interested. I think we have done a pretty good job this year with only 2/3 teams not really being manned and I think the possibility to win some change would turn that around.
I know its early, but it would be nice to get a count. Probably have enough for two leagues.
I'm in for a money league

The Lakers and Free Agency: Your Question of the Day
The fun begins late tomorrow night, as the NBA's free agent free for all officially kicks off.
Here's the list of guys who will or could be on the market. LA's priority is bringing back Lamar Odom and Trevor Ariza. Which leads to today's Question of the Day:
Is there anyone on the list linked above you'd choose instead of Ariza or Odom?
The big names are guys like Jason Kidd, Rasheed Wallace, Ben Gordon, Chris Andersen, Ron Artest, Andre Miller, Shawn Marion, (presumably) Carlos Boozer, and Morris Almond. Okay, maybe not him. But I love the name.
(UPDATE, 6:13 pm: Yikes! I realize I forgot Hedo Turkoglu, who is obviously an intriguing and talented player. If this is a conversation to be had, he should be in it. BK)
Don't worry too much about money- think of the player. Would you swap out X for TA, or Y for LO? And so on? Would you pick two from that list and let both Odom and Ariza walk? What say you? Personally, I'd keep last year's team intact. I'm not a fan of how Kidd fits in, didn't want Artest last year either, and think Gordon's high volume shooting doesn't work with LA. (Plus, and this is a fairly significant point, my understanding is the Lakers have a decent two guard already.) Marion is an intriguing name, but only if he came with a time machine. Last year's version in Miami/Toronto didn't play all that well but did manage to continue to cement his reputation as a malcontent. Why bring that into a well-functioning locker room?
But what say you?

Dear ALL,
May i please know what is the most simplest method (kit available) that can quantitatively determine the cell DNA content. Please suggest the method. thank you so much
-materials researcher-
very sad that there is no response in this forum!!!! my search says that proteinase K with cyQuant analysis can give quantitiative results of cell DNA content? May i have any suggestions..
thanks alot
-materials researcher-
If you know the number of cells you put in, you could do a real-time PCR off a standard gene.
