Toyota to Face First trial in unintended-acceleration case iin 2013 judge says

(Bloomberg) -- Toyota Motor Corp. will face the first test trial in February 2013 of lawsuits combined in federal court that claim a defect causes the company's vehicles to speed up uncontrollably, a judge said.

U.S. District Judge James V. Selna in Santa Ana, Calif., said in a "tentative order" posted on his court's website that the first bellwether trial would be of claims by the families of two people killed in a Nov. 5, 2010, crash in Utah.

Paul Van Alfen died when his 2008 Toyota Camry crashed into a wall. A passenger, Charlene Lloyd, died of her injuries a day after the accident.

Toyota, the world's largest automaker, recalled millions of U.S. vehicles, starting in 2009, after claims of defects and incidents involving sudden unintended acceleration. The recalls set off a wave of litigation, including hundreds of economic-loss suits and claims by individuals or their families alleging injuries and deaths.

"The conduct of a trial in the first quarter of 2013 will markedly advance these proceedings," said Selna, who is overseeing most of the federal lawsuits. "Selection of a personal injury/wrongful death case" is the most likely type to "meet that goal," he said.

Selna selected the Van Alfen case from a list of six suits submitted by lawyers for the company and plaintiffs.

Overriding goal

"My overriding goal is to ensure that we try the first bellwether case in the first quarter of 2013," Selna said at a hearing today.

Van Alfen's wife and son were injured in the 2010 crash and are suing as well. The families claim that the accident happened when the vehicle unexpectedly accelerated as Van Alfen pulled onto an exit ramp on I-80 near Wendover, Utah, and didn't stop even after he slammed on the brakes.

The plaintiffs claim that the Camry is defective and that the Toyota City, Japan-based carmaker failed to include a brake override system or fail-safe device to stop inadvertent acceleration.

Most of the federal lawsuits were combined before Selna, in a multidistrict litigation for evidence gathering and pretrial rulings.

Hints for Kardel Sharpeye:
--------------------------
Kardel is one of the easiest heroes to control in the game.But you can
turn him into one of the strongest heroes you have ever seen. Kardel is
an AGI type hero so what he needs are agility items. He has low life so 
he is considered "soft" so you need to make him "harder".He is also ranged
and has a slow attacked speed so he needs items to increase attack speed 
and his over all speed.Here are the items that Kardel needs to improve 
himself:

1. Quarter staff-he really needs this thing!
2. Boots of Speed-he is so damn slow!
3. Boots of Travel-composed of Boots of speed-if you have enough money buy
   this thing so that he can teleport himself.
4. Helm of Dominator-comprised of Mask of Death and Helm of Iron will-this 
   will give him life steal and the ability to control creeps.
5. Butterfly-comprised of Eagle Horn,Quarter Staff(that's why you really 
   need it), and the Butterfly itself-if you want to,double this thing so 
   that you have a 60% chance of dodging attacks and it increases your hit
   points too. 
6. Power Treads-Keep clicking it to add up to your hit points or your life.
7. Bracer-composed of Gauntlets of Strength and circlet of nobilty-probably
   one of the most important stuff that you need on Kardel.This thing gives
   Kardel the toughness that he needs.

Tips for Jah'rakal:
-------------------
Level tips: Take only Jah'rakal's third and first skill when you're at the 
starting level of 1-5. Take the last skill when you reach level 6. DO NOT take
Jah'rakal's second skill unless you've already maxed-out your 1st, 3rd, last 
skill and your stats.

Note: Try "Harassment" meaning; simply killing/scaring or putting your enemy
Hero to near-death from the start and not letting him/her level up, this would 
guarantee you a sure win in your 1 on 1 Battle.

Item tips: At your starting level. Try get 3 "Wraith Bands", a "Boots of
Speed or Power Treads (Green= Agility)", a "Ring of Basilius (you may choose
Helm of the Dominator or Mask of Death if you're trying to save-up gold)", and a
"Teleportation Scroll (or 2 Healing Salves instead)". If you have achieved a
high level (level 6 or so). Try saving-up gold for the following items: "Sange and
Yasha", "Buriza do Kyanon", "Satanic", "The Butterfly",
a "Cranium Basher (you may replace this instead with the Black King Bar)", and
the "Eye of Skadi" (you may replace this with the Stygian Desolator or Lothar's
Edge).

A Lot of Gold:
--------------
Press the Space bar the type "-test" and after that type again "-Gold 999999999" 
Eigth 9s because it says on description it was only 4 but if you double it (8) 
That's how you get a lot of money!

Toyota Prius Plug-in Hybrid

technology

The Prius Plug-in is the most advanced member of the Prius Family yet. Combining an extended all-electric mode ^[1][2] with proven hybrid technology, it can get you up to 475 miles before your next fill-up, depending on driving conditions. ^[3] You also get the convenience of plug-in charging with rapid recharge times.

Learn more about the technologies below.

battery

• Battery typeLithium-ion
• Maximum EV cruising rangeApproximately 13 miles
• Recharging time1.5 hours @ 240V AC or 3 hours at 120V AC

The idea of battery-powered cars is cool. But in reality, the weight, size, cost and durability of the large-capacity batteries required to fully power Electric Vehicles (EV) are critical issues that aren't fully solved. Our answer? Small lithium-ion battery packs that complement the proven Prius hybrid-electric power train.

The Prius Plug-in's lithium-ion battery is lightweight and compact, weighing a total of just 330 lb. So you get useful EV power and driving range without the costs of an electric-only EV battery, while maintaining plenty of cargo space and seating for five. Also, charge time from a standard 120V household outlet is only 3 hours.

Built to last for the life of the vehicle, our lithium-ion batteries have undergone more than three years of coordinated field testing in Japan, North America and Europe, in a wide variety of climatic environments and driving conditions.

engine

• Displacement (cm³)1798
• Max output [hp (kW)/rpm]98 (73)/5200
• Max torque (Nm/rpm)142/4000

The Prius Plug-in's 4-cylinder engine is incredibly fuel-efficient. The first reason for this is its 1.8L displacement, which allows it to generate higher output and torque while operating at lower speeds. In addition to increased efficiency, you also get a much quieter ride.

Another factor is the elimination of the drive belt, along with an electric-driven water pump, which reduces supplemental engine load. This allows the engine to control the flow of coolant with increased precision based on vehicle conditions.

The engine also features a Cool-EGR system to lower recirculated exhaust temperatures, as well as a recirculation system that reuses heat to help the Prius Plug-in warm up even quicker.

motor

The electric motor in the Prius Plug-in is specially calibrated to give you greater fuel efficiency across a variety of driving conditions. And since it operates at an incredibly high rotational speed, it's able to generate more output in a smaller, lighter design—which also helps improve your overall fuel economy.
