Nico Hulkenberg: "The Singapore Grand Prix is one of the toughest races of the year, with the high temperatures, humidity and the race almost always reaching the two-hour mark. It's a challenging circuit with a lot of corners. I particularly like sector one and the first bit of sector two. Because it's a night race, we stay on European time for the whole weekend, so it's important to get into the right rhythm with your sleep from the beginning. Being in the paddock when it's dark is something quite special. It's the only total night race on the calendar and racing in a mega city like Singapore is unique. It's a huge hub in many respects, financially and also with the airport being such a vital link between Asia and the rest of the world. To have a track like that is pretty spectacular. A mega event this large needs a lot of logistics, effort from the organisers and everybody involved to make this happen."
Esteban Gutierrez: "The Singapore Grand Prix is a unique event. The atmosphere and excitement is special, because it's a night race, it's right in the middle of the city and the crowd is great. Singapore is a tough circuit in terms of how it affects the driver physically. The humidity is very high, so there is less oxygen in the air, and that's challenging. However, I'm quite used to racing in hot conditions, especially at the beginning of my career competing in Mexico at 45 degrees, but the difference in Singapore is the humidity. It impacts on concentration, so that means preparation is very important. There is nothing that you can do or train specifically for that, but I tend to arrive early to get used to the conditions. I like the track, it has a lot of corners and it's quite long, which makes it fun. My favourite part used to be the Singapore Sling, a left-right-left combination, but that has been changed to a long medium-speed corner for this year."
Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: "Singapore requires a totally different set-up philosophy compared to Monza. The circuit efficiency sees a return to our maximum downforce level similar to Monaco. The track is dominated by tight, low-speed corners and this is the area that the mechanical and aero set-up is optimised around. Like Monza, the track is pretty bumpy in some areas, so placing an importance on ride quality. The stop-start nature of the circuit gives the brakes a hard time as there are not many opportunities per lap for them to cool down. It is imperative to qualify strongly on Saturday evening, as overtaking on this track is difficult. The race tends to cross the two-hour mark and there is a high chance of a safety car at any time, which means this will keep the strategy engineers' attention throughout the whole race. The ambient conditions make it tough for the drivers and crew throughout the weekend. As in previous years, Pirelli has selected the supersoft compound as the option tyre, but the prime will be the medium compound, unlike last year when it was the soft compound. We will bring a further update package to Singapore that should help us to continue fighting for championship points."

Group challenges Green Bay diocese's tax-exempt status
Green Bay - A Madison-based group that advocates the separation of church and state is taking on the bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Green Bay.
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is challenging the diocese's tax-exempt status after Bishop David Ricken urged parishioners to vote against candidates who support abortion or gay marriage.
An attorney for the Freedom From Religion Foundation has written to the Internal Revenue Service, saying Ricken's letter was an attempt to influence the outcome of the vote.
The diocese issued a statement saying the bishop "wrote his letter out of his love and concern for the people."
The Catholic Diocese of Green Bay is composed of 345,000 Catholics in 16 counties in northeastern Wisconsin.

Muscle in on your personal finances— published: 05-13-2013
Personal finances can be a major source of anxiety for Warfighters and family members. Creating a monthly budget can help. A budget is simply tracking money that comes in (income), goes out (expenses), and sticks around (your savings) each month. It does take some effort in the beginning to set up a budget, but once it's done, it's easy to update. If you don't like using computer spreadsheets or writing things down in a ledger book, there are free apps you can use or budgeting programs you can buy. Or check around online—MilitaryOneSource has a budget worksheet. Or get help—some of the Military and Family Life Counselors (MFLC) are Personal Financial Management (PFM) counselors too. They are familiar with military life and its financial challenges, and using their services is free. Visit Military INSTALLATIONS to find the closest PFM to you. Finally, most banks offer tips on their websites on how to save and manage debt, and your local branch may offer free financial seminars.
The key to reducing expenses in order to save is easy—spend less. Many people, however, have a hard time cutting back on spending. A budget can help you keep on track. Saving money takes effort, but it's worth it for your financial future.
Basic Formula: "Money In" minus "Money Out" equals "Money Retained."

Dana is an Ambassador who studied abroad in Austria
Major: History
Why did you choose to study abroad and how did you decide on this program?
I have always loved traveling and adventure. I also study history and like to visit some of the places I read about. I had been taking German classes for sometime as well.
I chose the Austria program because of its location--the history and sights of that area of the world sounded interesting and was somewhere where I could improve and use my German.
Briefly describe a specific cultural experience you had on your trip that made a lasting impression.
In Salzburg they celebrate the patron saint St. Rupert. He is credited with founding the Cathedral and the current city. They hold a massive five-day festival and people from all over the region come in to celebrate. It was a celebration of a community lasting down through the centuries.
The truly special moment was during the Mass celebration of St. Rupert's day. Before and during the procession through the streets of the old city from St. Peter's Monastery to the Cathedral, they rang the bells of the churches in Salzburg--all 30+ churches Each church chimed in, one after another until they all played beautifully together in a sound that could be heard all throughout the city. It was a spine-chilling and awe inspiring sensation.
Describe your overall study abroad experience.
It is hard to describe simply, but to choose a word: amazing. Studying abroad was a total experience--I learned new things, saw wonders to behold, met incredible people, and enjoyed life. Each day had a uniqueness and I tried to fully live each and every moment.
Based on your experiences abroad, what are some of the benefits of spending a semester abroad? How has studying abroad contributed to your personal, academic, and professional development?
I found the studying abroad makes one plan ahead, conduct research, and fosters curiosity. These three discoveries are the foundations of an education in liberal arts. Also these lessons apply to any profession one would take up. In in personal affairs planning, research, and curiosity are what make life interesting day in and day out.
What advice can you offer for CSB/SJU students who are considering or planning to study abroad?Plan ahead, research the corner of the world you will be living in temporarily. You can't know everything about the place, nor can you prepare for all situations, but still it is better to have some information than ignorance. Many opportunities are missed in skipped research.
As for those who are still considering study abroad--your life is comprised of your experiences: good, bad, mundane, and exciting. Study abroad is most likely something completely different from anything else you have done. Expanding experiences enriches one's life and inspires new ideas.
