| New CTS An LED Orgy
Lights have been a part of the Cadillac heritage from the days of the Eldorado — hey, it had something going for it, right? Now GM is hoping that LED lighting will make the new CTS seem even more suave and sophisticated, inside and out. Fifteen LED lamps, along with several so-called “light pipes" direct cool white light to various parts of the interior, while outside, a single LED illuminates an acrylic bar that remains lit whenever the CTS is running. “Why should these features stand out only during the day?" asked Caddy's product chief, John Howell. Why indeed? Find out more over at the main site. CADILLAC LIGHTS THE WAY WITH NEW CTS—TheCarConnection.com .

Man forgets wife
A Chinese man says he has forgotten his wife following a motorbike accident. Wei Guangyi, of Xinyang City, Henan province, initially suffered total amnesia after hitting a lamp post. But, after two days in hospital, he could remember everything - except his wife of nine years.
Yang said: He remembers the names of people whove visited him, and information about his work. But he pointed at me and asked my daughter, Who is this woman? I was so surprised to hear that.
I showed him our wedding picture and asked who was beside him. He told me, Thats my classmate. When he is changing, he pushes me out of the room, and tells me every time that I shouldnt cook for him, since Im a guest of his house.
The chief surgeon at Xinyang 1st Hospital says the phenomenon is inexplicable.
