Kimi Raikkonen's Lotus career is over as the Finn is set to undergo back surgery this coming Thursday.
Raikkonen has suffered from back pain for many years, which has been attributed to a crash he had back in his days with Sauber.
The injury flared up at this year's Singapore GP where the Lotus driver was forced to take painkilling injections in order to get through the weekend.
Now, though, doctors have told him that it is time for surgery.
Speaking to Turun Sanomat, Raikkonen's manager Steve Robertson said: "The experts are recommending the surgery and it will be done Thursday in Salzburg.
"Obviously it is a disappointing way to end the relationship with Lotus after two successful seasons.
"However, Kimi cannot afford to delay any more. It is crucial to correct the problem now to be fit and healthy for the start of 2014."
Raikkonen's surgery comes in the wake of his pay dispute with Lotus, which saw the Finn threaten not to attend the final two races unless he was paid.
And although a deal was concluded, Raikkonen will now still miss the United States GP and the Brazilian GP.

January and the inauguration of President Obama have offered up a smorgasbord of delicious topics on which to engage. There is John Brennan reemerging as the Deputy National Security Advisor for Counterterrorism and the accompanying discussion about whether the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council should be merged. Perhaps we should deconstruct Denny Blair's confirmation testimony for clues about how he will run the Intelligence Community (IC); or we could debate the wisdom of the President's decision to nominate Leon Panetta to be CIA Director. Then there is Bob Gates' Senate Armed Services Committee testimony now as President Obama's Secretary of Defense on the department's priorities that we could explore for their impact on the IC. However, since Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Mike McConnell and the ODNI staff spent considerable effort in January documenting the performance of the DNI and by extension the IC during the McConnell tenure it is here that I want to dwell with my own evaluation.
Before proceeding though I must disclose that I have known Mike McConnell since 1972, that I consider him a personal friend, that I served with him twice while I was on active duty in Naval Intelligence, and that I view him second only to Bobby Inman as the finest intelligence officer I have encountered.
Before turning to my evaluation though, let's review how the ODNI graded its own performance in three different reports posted to www.dni.gov in January.
On January 15 ODNI posted "Fact Sheet: Continued Progress in Reforming Intelligence" (http://www.dni.gov/press_releases/20090115_release.pdf) which listed the "key milestones of McConnell's tenure as:
• FISA Modernization
• Executive Order 12333 rewrite
• Cybersecurity: a 12-point Comprehensive National Cybersecurity Initiative
• Analytic Transformation: A-Space and the Library of National Intelligence
• Security Clearance Reform
• Collaboration and Career-focused Initiatives:
o Joint Duty program to pormote cross-collaboration, information sharing across the IC.
o Established Pay-for-Performance
o Launched the National Intelligence University
• Developed innovative IT solutions to enable information sharing across the IC.
Then on January 14th Mike McConnell appeared on the Charlie Rose show (http://www.dni.gov/interviews/20090108_interview.pdf). On 16 January the DNI held a press round table (http://www.dni.gov/interviews/20090116_interview.pdf) . Both events pretty much covered the same material with McConnell saying the most important accomplishments while he was DNI were the updating of the FISA Law and Executive Order 12333. According to the DNI he is most disappointed by not having enough time for all the IC issues that need attention. He talked at length in both interviews about learning from the Iranian Nuclear National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) the importance of unclassified key judgments that accurately convey the substance of the analysis. He also wanted to warn the nation about the cyber threat it faces and his concern about not just the destruction or interruption of the cyber infra-structure but also adversaries destroying or manipulating data for national security effects. At the Press Round Table the DNI talk about the imminent release of Intelligence Community Directive (IDC) 501 that would establish specific policy expectations for sharing and collaboration across the IC.
Finally on January 27th the 400 Day Update to the DNI's 500 Day plan was posted (http://www.dni.gov/500-day-plan/400dayplan.pdf). Here you got either "the glass is half empty" or "the glass is half full" view of the IC depending on your perspective, but it does appear in the ODNI graphic below that almost half the goals are at risk at the 80% course marker.
So Mazzafro how did the IC do under your buddy McConnell's stewardship!? In a phrase I would say pretty good, but not good enough. Certainly there were no major attacks against the
As important and difficult as it was to get the FISA legislation updated so foreign communications moving ACROSS servers in the US can be intercepted without a warrant; Executive Order 12333 rewritten to give the DNI authority over the IC; and IDC 501 issued mandating IC wide sharing and collaboration by June 1st 2009 these are all more bureaucratic form than intelligence substance. Yes, all three will positively impact IC performance going forward, but what did any of these documents do to improve IC capabilities or performance since February 2007?
With regard to intelligence sharing and collaboration, the IC individually and collectively seems oblivious to the needs of the President, the intent of the Congress and the direction of the DNI. That this flag is still red in the McConnell 500 Day Plan after the lessons learned from the 9/11 Commission and the Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) Commission should give any IC senior pause about how effective they have been.
Mike McConnell knew IC acquisition was broke when he became the DNI IN February 2007, which is why one of his first acts was to create a Deputy DNI for Acquisition. Looking at the 400 Day Key Accomplishments graphic above it is fair to say that not much progress has been achieved despite considerable effort. This tells me that much of acquisition reform is beyond the IC's ability to effect, but that the IC also can't seem to get itself organized so it can function better under extent conditions.
One of the reasons for establishing the DNI position in December 2004 was the prevalent view that the Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) could not effectively run both the IC and the CIA. DNI McConnell, because President Bush insisted he do it, remained the President's principal daily intelligence briefer, which meant being the CEO of the IC came after (both chronologically and factually) the morning White House Intelligence Briefing. Separating the DNI position from being the President's daily intelligence briefer is important if the DNI is going to focus on running the IC as Cabinet Secretaries do for their departments.
In his round of exit interviews the press did not to ask DNI McConnell any of the following questions:
· Is the size of the IC too large, too small: about how much should the nation be investing in intelligence?
· Generically, where have you intelligence have the most impact on the security of the US during your watch; where is improvement most needed?
· Are there any acquisition success you could hold up to the IC as models; are there any IC initiatives that should be cancelled?
· Beyond FISA does the convergence of foreign and domestic intelligence require other legislative or regulatory changes?
· Do you thing you made a difference?
On the positive side Mike McConnell, unlike his predecessor who missed this opportunity as the first DNI, firmly established the DNI as the government's senior intelligence officer with accountability for IC performance. More specifically, he made the DNI the forcing element for functional integration that will enable the IC to me more than the sum of its parts.
So for a letter grade I would give Mike McConnell a "gentleman's B" -- not because he's a dilettante -- but because he ran the IC in a gentlemanly manner with modesty and integrity. He certainly left the IC better than he found it. Was he an effective DNI? Absolutely, but unfortunately with national security you don't get to measure how far you moved the ball from where you took possession, but how close you got it to the goal line. Mike understands this because it is one of the many things he taught me.
That's what I think; what do you think?
I have yet to find, in my unscientific polling of the community, anyone who can point to a major gain or benefit achieved since the establishment of the DNI. As you say, considerable effort against some noble goals but little substantive improvement. Four years after the establishment of the ISE and three years after it was to be completed, we are just starting to see interoperability of the big six databases. For a nation combatting an agile enemy, we move dangerously slow.
ICD 501 signed out on 21 Jan 2009 in Mike McConnell's last hours as DNI speaks forcefully to your point. Why was this expectation of intel sharing not signed out within the 1st 100 Days of John Negroponte being confirmed as DNI?!?!?!? You know the IC is still not got its databases licensed properly to actually do intel sharing.
That said, the real value of the McConnell tenure is that he established the DNI position as the SIO with programatic and policy clout. Negroponte acted just the way the agency heads wanted ------ a figure head who served as heat shield to the Media and Congress.
If Denny Blair can't emulate President Obama's example of quick action to change IC behavior and performance I will have to agree with you that DNI will have established its self as a no value added layer of management
Thanks for another good post. But I think you are looking at this wrong.
First some things I really agree with: It is ok to look at this from a point of what got done. In fact, since I'm a results oriented guy, I like the way you talked about what did and what did not get done.
And it is ok to talk about disappointments. I've had a few myself. We owe it to the mission to talk about those and I'm glad you did.
But when it comes to using the metaphor of a "grade" for Admiral McConnell, I think he gets an A to A+. Why? There is not another human being on the face of the earth who could have done so well with the challenges he faces and the resources the nation gave him. I have to admit that is just an opinion that you could argue, but I'm convinced of that. And if there is not another human being on the planet that could have done a better job, what letter grade should you assign the greatest on the planet?
Maybe instead of assigning letter grades we should be helping others understand that the intelligence business is full of challenges and since the core mission of the community is to discover things that bad guys are trying to hide, we are going to periodically fail.
Joe - fine column, I echo your assessment unfortunately. One thing I notice: when Negroponte left, he was silent afterwards on intelligence issues, challenges of the DNI position, etc - perhaps understandable since he went right back into State Dept and was less-than-able to comment openly. What I'm hoping is that your buddy Mike McC at Booz will be more willing to speak out openly, loudly, on the challenges he faced and the impediments to more dramatic success. I would hope he's "through with fooling around" and willing to do his nation one last service - provide a truly frank and solid critique on his own efforts and what we need going forward. Now that would be a great Charlie Rose interview....
Thanks Bob. If you grade on a curve, (i.e. could things have been done better by somebody else) Mike surely gets an "A". I don't think any of us though, and certainly Mike McConnell, believe it wise to grade elements of national security on a curve since we are in the reality business.
In a 1000 word blog you are not going to do much educating of the general population about the complexities of the IC (is it really more complex than say GE?!?!). One of my purposes in this blog to speak to the IC about it measuring its performance from where they have come instead of talking in terms of where they need to be
Thanks Lewis! You make an excellent point about John Negroponte. If he was advocating for what it would take to improve IC performance as DepSecState he did so very quietly and apparently ineffectively. Bill Studeman remains the standard for engaged IC involvement after holding high position in the IC. I know Mike pays attention to Bill so I am hopeful Mike will speak out about what the IC needs are and how they can/should be met joemaz
Your post is based on an update (Day 400) from October. Please see the latest post at the ODNI on the final report. ICD 501 was signed, a major systems engineering and architecture is in place, and funding is there to implement this over the next 3-12 months. We are at a real tipping point this year on information integration.
Thanks Patrick. The post is based on more than the 400 day update of the 500 day plan; it is also formed from two mid January interviews by the DNI. I thought their was considerable compatibility between what he said in these interviews and the 400 day update was posted on the ODNI Web page after these interviews.
That said I am very familiar with ICD 501 because it directly impacts the company I work for. I agree the IC now has policy expectation of what information integration is and how to achieve it. Hopefully the funding to implement the software licensing needed to implement ICD 501 will be sustainable as the government faces increasingly stiff competition for resources due to economic conditions
Having said that, if you look at the final 500 Day Plan report card, you will see an assessment from the OIG. Despite claims of "reform fatigue" we still have a ways to go.
Here is the link to the final report
As you can see, major work left to be done in IT, business systems, and acquisition (to your earlier point).
Appreciate you passing the link along for me and all who are following this discussion thanks joemaz
I wonder is there any strategy guiding the DNI's work? Since There is no update strategic document since 2005 National Intelligence Strategy. And how did the 2005 NIS strategy actually influenced the IC? Is it important?
In the past six months ODNI has issued Global Trends 2025 and IC Vision 2015. Theorically strategy should be fairly stable but my recollection of the IC 2005 Strategy with its emphasis on supporting freedom and democracy struck me then as sounding more like the Brezknev Docrine of the late 60s than something intelligence would be about joemaz
The strategic planning process has several steps: NIC2025(to describe the future environment), Quad. Intel. Com. Review/QICR (to translate the future environment into "so what" in terms of Intel capabilities), the Vision (where do we see ourselves on 5-10 years), the Strategy (how are we going to get there), and planning and program guidance (what are the priorities and how much does it cost). All of this is done, execpt for the new strategy. I would suspect that a new NIS will come out this year to reflect the new DNI's strategic intent.
Patrick, thanks for expanding on my limited knowledge of the IC planning process. We all benefit from you sharing this information with us
Thank you very much for your guidance, I've learned a lot from you two.
I still have a question, is there any national level intelligence strategy before the 2005NIS?If they exist, Where can I find them, are they classified?
I am going on shaky memory here but I recollect there was an IC strategy before the current one. Of course, pior to Dec 2004 law establishing the DNI individual IC agency strategies and visions were more dominant joemaz
I know of two from the mid and late 90s. Neither were released to the public. The 2005 NIS is the first for general release.

"The horror! The horror!" In this brooding and justly celebrated novella of 1902, seaman Charles Marlow is cruising quietly down the Thames at dusk with some friends. As night begins to fall, he tells them of his harrowing journey down an African river in search of the unscrupulous and near-legendary ivory trader named Kurtz, a quest deep into inky spiritual and symbolic darkness. Acclaimed Irish actor/director Kenneth Branagh impersonates Marlow in this recording. Admirably, while fully playing the drama, he never goes overboard. He plays the tale for the great yarn that it is. But had he taken more cognizance of its trajectory and subtleties, he would have made the listening experience far richer than he has.
Prose that demands to be read aloud requires a special kind of narrator. For the Audible Signature Classics edition of Joseph Conrad's atmospheric masterpiece, Heart of Darkness, we called upon four-time Academy Award nominee Kenneth Branagh.
Branagh's performance is riveting because he reads as though he's telling a ghost story by a campfire, capturing the story's sense of claustrophobia, while hinting at the storyteller Marlow's own creeping madness. Heart of Darkness follows Captain Marlow into the colonial Congo where he searches for a mysterious ivory trader, Kurtz, and discovers an evil that will haunt him forever.
With this landmark work, Conrad is credited with bringing the novel into the twentieth century; we think Branagh brings it into the twenty-first.
Stay tuned for more one-of-a-kind performances from actors David Hyde Pierce, Leelee Sobieski, Tim Curry, and more, only from Audible Signature Classics.

Tell us about yourself! Just a cynical and tired, retired English professor.
"From Civilization into Darkness"
The enigmatic narrator Marlowe tells his dark story of madness and despair from the deck of a ship anchored in the Thames in the harbor of London, the then world's center of commerce and civilization. It ends in the heart of madness and despair, the Congo river deep in Africa. In this short novel, which has been called one of the most important works in modern literature, Marlow's voice is that of Kenneth Branagh, one of the finest of actors today. His voice gives a complete new dimension with an interpretation on a richer more meaningful level that is impossible with just the printed word.

"Conrad's Brilliant & Wild Novella"
The novella is literature's most compellingly roaming form and Conrad absolutely owns it with Heart of Darkness. I first read Conrad in high school, with throngs of other pimply kids. I liked it sure, but didn't understand all of the conflciting currents of this brilliant story. I was re-introduced to Heart of Darkness when I recognized it in Francis Ford Coppola brilliant Apocalypse Now. During the last few years I've been on a huge Conrad kick, listening or reading to Lord Jim, Victory, The Secret Agent, Nostromo, etc.
The man is simply amazing. It is incredible to think that he could write better in his 3rd language (English) than most writers could ever hope to write in their first. In this way, he shares a lot with Nabokov.
Anyway, this is one of those few works I constantly return to for its humanity and for its inspiriation. Kenneth Branagh's reading of HoD is amazing in both its depth and nuance.
I love reading and listening to books, especially fantasy, science fiction, children's, historical, and classics.
"The (Beautiful and Appalling) Horror!"
Kenneth Branagh gives a mesmerizing reading of Heart of Darkness, bringing out all the darkly beautiful surfaces and bleakly existential undercurrents of Joseph Conrad???s novella, as well as convincingly voicing all the characters, from the sensitive and scarred British Marlow to the slimy Belgian trading company men, creepy Russian disciple, and charismatic and appalling Kurtz and his ever-grieving fianc??e.
The book has been criticized for portraying Africans as sub-human, and it is true that Conrad (and hence Branagh) gives almost no voice to the native population, but I find in Heart of Darkness less racist condescension towards the Africans and more moral outrage towards their European colonial exploiters.
The nearly four-hour audiobook, during which Marlow recounts his journey into the Congo to find the ???genius??? trading agent Kurtz, quickly caught me and carried me inexorably towards ???The horror! The horror!??? and its haunting aftermath. It left me stunned and grimly impressed (though somehow not depressed) by its disturbing depiction of the raping of Africa by colonial powers like Belgium (taking countless tons of ivory in exchange for worthless glass beads and shabby fabrics, imposing incomprehensible laws onto the native peoples and brutally punishing them for the slightest infractions, and so on), and by its timely application to the developed world???s current exploitation of the Congo (???conflict minerals???) and of Africa in general (diamonds, oil and other resources). But the greatness of the novella lies in its transcending specific examples like Africa and universalizing the heart of darkness to include England in the time of the Romans and all human beings in any time, exposing the heart of darkness in all of us.
"Highly enjoyable."
This was my first time reading Heart of Darkness. It was highly gripping, and Kenneth Branagh does a great job at narrating. I listened to the entire book in one sitting. There's not much more for me to add, because it is such a classic novella.
tired teacher
"Dark story, much to ponder"
This book is so full of symbolism that I had to listen to it twice to get the most out of it. I checked out sparknotes in between listens so as to get as much as I could out of the second listen, and it was a smart move on my part. If I had been satisfied with one time through, I would have missed the whole point of the story. It is a short book, more of a novella, which might help entice me to read it again in the future. It is a great allegory and commentary on human nature. Conrad is a great writer. I think I will ponder on this story for a long time and try to determine which character I am most like at an given time. I will also use it to analyze (not judge) those around me. It is inevitable, I think. Read this book if you enjoy stories that make you think, dig deep for hidden meanings, and analyze. It will stay with you for a long time. However, keep in mind that it was written for another era and much of the structure should not be considered or evaluated according to modern standards. It is a classic and will stand up to the test of time if the reader remembers that fact. The story itself is timeless.
I can't say enough good about narrator Kenneth Branagh. Fabulous!!
"Great narration"
This is where I wish we could give two scores, one for narration and one for writing.
I was assigned The Heart of Darkness in high school and despised every minute of it. In fact, I have often referenced it as my most-abhorred book.
As an adult, I wanted to give the book a second chance, and I figured if I didn't like it with Kenneth Branagh narrating it, there was no hope for reconciliation. I figured that four hours was short enough a time to devote to this experiment.
Branagh gets an A+. The narration is impeccable. If you like this story, you're in for a treat.
Unfortunately, I still can't stand the book. I didn't agree with Conrad's premise as a kid and nothing has changed in the interim.
But, that's just me. If you like this story or want to experience it for the first time, this is in the upper echelon of audiobooks.
"A wonderful listen"
Kenneth Branagh's reading of this classic is truly wonderful, perfectly suited for Conrad's most famous story. I've listened to it twice now and found myself smiling at just how nuanced Branagh's reading can be. This is a great listen, both in terms of the narration and Conrad's timeless writing. Find a quiet spot and enjoy!
It is tempting to see Heart of Darkness as a masterfully constructed parable on human nature (witness Apocalypse Now, Francis Ford Coppola's film adaptation, in which the action was transposed to south-east Asia) but as historian Adam Hochschild has pointed out in King Leopold's Ghost, about the king's rape of the Congo, Conrad himself was quite clear that it was based on specific events he had witnessed, saying it was "experience… pushed a little (and only very little) beyond the actual facts of the case". Despite his protestations, this is undeniably an invaluable historical document offering a glimpse into the horrific human consequences of the imperial powers' scramble for Africa as much as it is a compelling tale.
"Brilliant Performance"
Kenneth Branagh has shared his prodigious talent with the world of audiobooks for more than 20 years. THE HEART OF DARKNESS for Audible, Inc. is his first foray into the latest medium of downloadable literature. Like his previous recordings, THE HEART OF DARKNESS is presented as a performance rather than a mere narration of this turn-of-the 20th century, English classic. Branagh uses his musical voice to transform into multiple characters, male and female, as well as individuals of various nationalities, within the story as it evolves. For most of the near 4 hour running time of this unabridged edition, Branagh plays the part of the main storyteller, Marlowe, an introspective sailor, leisurely relaying the tale of his long journey in a battered steamboat, up the Congo River to find Mr. Kurtz, the renowned company agent at the inner station.
It is easy to empathize with Marlowe's experiences as he decribes: his encounters with widespread inefficiency and brutality by civilized men in the Company's stations; his growing fascination with Kurtz; the intimidating nature of the vast jungle and its peoples; and the realization of the amoral depths to which a man can sink.
THE HEART OF DARKNESS is an absorbing story with the metaphor of darkness at its center, told by a patient and poetic author. Listening to Audible, Inc.'s production of THE HEART OF DARKNESS read by Kenneth Branagh adds another dimension to this multi layered tale of real and perceived darkness.
"One of English lit's finest works, finely rendered"
I hadn't revisited "Heart of Darkness" for decades until I listened to this audiobook. My impressions are simple and intense.
Regardless of the post-colonial critique of Conrad - he was, I believe, remarkably understanding of the wrongs of colonialism for a man of his time - the writing and the psychological depth of the novella are nearly unsurpassed in 19th- and 20th-century English language literature.
In addition, Kenneth Branagh demonstrates here the difference between merely passable or even good dramatic reading, and true craftsmanship. I can't imagine how the publisher lured such an amazing acting talent into doing the narration of a book in the public domain, but Branagh's rendition is the finest of any audiobook I've ever listened to.
I'm deeply impressed with both Conrad and Branagh.
Thank you, Audible.
"Heart of Darkness - Read by Kenneth Branagh"
I must confess I was initially put off by the "celebrity" author tag, but I am very glad I did get the audiobook. Branagh's reading verged on the lyrical in places - and he makes full use of his theatrical skills.
"An Old Master Brought to Life"
This is the story of a young man who takes on the role of ferry boat captain on an African river when Africa was both unexplored and a mystery to the civilised world. As a book it is both compelling and shocking. It has really been brought to life by Kenneth Branagh whose wonderful narration keeps the pace going and brings the personalities of people to life. It satisfies on multiple levels, firstly as a good story, then in the sense that it made me realise how the world had changed since this was written and actually I was listening to a social commentary on the time when Great Britain had an Empire and knowledge of the world was limited. Finally it is a book which variously amused me, made me angry and has left a mark on me unlike many books that are so easily forgettable.
I will listen again and indeed seek out others from this genre. Well done Audible, good call.
"Superb narration of a timeless classic"
"The horror, the horror" ... timeless classic novel about colonial exploitation and oppression. Beautifully written, full of foreboding from the start. Difficult to switch off; probably best read/heard one uncluttered day from beginning to end as if you were sitting with Marlowe and listening to his tale via Conrad.
"Just great"
Branagh is a cut above any other reader I have listened to before
If you are a fan of Apocalypse now then you will particularly enjoy understanding where the source material was drawn from.
No doubt a tale of its time but listened to in that context, massively enjoyable.
"There's Methody in the Madness"
Terrific performance by Sir KB (an alumnus of Methodist college, Belfast: AKA Methody). Felt dramatic and emotional as apprpriate. The novel is a retelling of a tale and mostly in the storytelling style, hence the appropriateness of the presnetational style.
The story itself is an interesting story. The film Apocolypse Now, closely follows the story with phrases and even names reused. It clearly is an homage to the book.
Whilst far from uplifting the story is a good study of morality and mental balance. It length is perfect if you have a long journey and can complete it in one day. It dropped a star because of the style of language of the book. This is unfair as it was written for a contemporary audience, I guess, and language has moved on since then.
"Brilliant rendition!"
Conrad's prose in Branagh's voice is a wonderful combination. The power of this novel is enhanced by the actor's sensitive handling of mood and tone. I have found myself listening more than once to some passages, where the author's emotive descriptions reward further attention. The narrative is fast paced and gripping and the creation of atmosphere superb.
"A treat for the senses"
Ever since I first read this novella as part of my studies for A Level English Literature, Conrad's prose transported me to a radically different world where colonial Africa became an arena where mankind itself battled to remain uncorrupted and unaffected by the darker side of humanity. Branagh, as we would expect from a master actor of his calibre, captures this conflict for man's soul excellently as he assumes the character of Marlow and takes us through his journey to Africa, up the snake-like river and into the very heart of darkness.
"Five stars!"
Superb narration by Kenneth Branagh - he injects such realism into the narrative. He must be my favourite male narrator of all time!
"Wonderfully atmospheric audiobook"
Kenneth Branagh narrated my audio version of this Conrad classic and he does an amazing job of the reading. It did take me a while to get into the story though which is why I have only given it four stars. Once we arrive in Africa, the writing takes off and I was totally engrossed. Conrad's description flows like the river itself and, together with the ominous approach towards the enigmatic Kurtz, it made for several wonderful commutes. Not much happens in the novel, but it happens with style!
I did not find Branagh's narration in any way stimulating. He sounded bored to me.

Thoughtfully designed with reassuringly high quality, our award-winning range includes all the essentials from car seats to pushchairs to nursery furniture packages. And it's loved by parents and parenting press alike!
Sits well on toilet. My son can put it on and take it off on his own. Great value for money.
Great value, basic item, great for your child being able to add their own stickers!
Bought 2 of these, they fit our 2 different sized toilets securely so my little boy feels safe when he is using them. Fantastic value for money. Highly recommended, dont waste your money on ridiculously priced ones.
This is great value for money only problem is it doesn't quite fit my toilet so moves around, other than that it's easy to clean
This is a fantastic seat, I ordered 2, one for upstairs the other for down, and although the adult seats are different this seat fits brilliantly on both, so easy to put on and take off my 3 year old is able to take himself to the toilet. The seat being one whole piece makes cleaning very easy (unlike a seat I bought my daughter when she was potty training, it came in 2 parts, the base and a cushioned top, no matter how much I scrubbed it, it never was clean)

Jon M. Huntsman, Jr.
Office of the Governor
Salt Lake City, Utah
Gary R. Herbert
Lieutenant Governor
News Release

2008 Economic Report to the Governor Shows
Continued Strong Economic Growth in Utah
Salt Lake City - Utah Governor Jon Huntsman accepted the 22nd annual Economic Report to
the Governor Thursday, touting Utah's continued strength.
"Utah's economy is the strongest in the nation," Governor Huntsman said. "In 2007, we've
experienced several record highs. Our state population is growing at record levels. Utah had the
nation's highest job growth rate. We have one of the nation's lowest unemployment rates. We are
well positioned for our future."
Utah's economy remained strong during 2007. For the fourth consecutive year, the State
outperformed the nation. Utah's job growth was the highest in the nation at 4.5%, compared to
1.3% nationally. Residential construction valuation and dwelling permits weakened from record
highs, but nonresidential construction vaiuaiion .cached new historic highs. Utah's home price
appreciation was the highest in the nation, one of only two states to experience double digit
appreciation when home prices have stagnated or declined across the nation. The value of energy
and mineral commodities produced in Utah remained near record levels, largely due to higher
prices rather than increased production.
"We experienced another year of great economic prosperity in 2007. An indicator of this is our
substantial employment growth. We added 55,000 jobs last year - that's over 150 jobs per day."
commented Juliette Tennert, Chief Economist.
2008 Outlook
Utah's economy is experiencing remarkable growth which will moderate in 2008. Employment
growth will be 3.2%, four times the national growth rate. Population growth will be 3.1% and
net in-migration will remain strong at 41,000 as Utah's economy continues to outperform the
national economy. The unemployment rate will remain below 3.0% due to a tight labor market.
Replicating the trend of the 1990s, for the fifth consecutive year, wages will increase faster than
inflation during 2008, thus improving Utah's standard of living. Construction employment
growth is expected to moderate due to a slowdown in single-family residential construction, but
nonresidential construction will remain at record highs due to continued business, religious, and
government projects.

Sebastian Vettel is looking forward to finding his rhythm quickly in Bahrain while Mark Webber feels having back-to-back races is a positive.
For all the latest F1 odds on the Bahrain GP, round three of the 2013 F1 Championship, visit Sky Bet.
Sebastian Vettel
Q. What's the benefit of back to back races?
SV: "The positive is that on the Friday of the second race, you get into the rhythm quickly. You save time by travelling direct from one race to the next and can adapt to the time zone a bit quicker, as you don't have to travel so far. The only thing is that there's not much time for physical and mental recovery after the first race."
Q. How do you adapt your preparation and training with back to back races?
SV: "I make the most of the Monday after the first race, in terms of relaxing and recovery. On the Tuesday, I do some easy training in the gym or some badminton, to keep the body and mind in correct mode."
Q. Do you prefer to go from one race to the next or to have a longer gap between races?
SV: "It's important that the race calender is well balanced so that drivers can get proper rest periods in order to be able to push 100 percent at each event. This means that sometimes it is good to have back to back races and then some longer breaks."
Q. Tell us something of the circuit in Bahrain.
SV: "The corners can fool you and lead to errors because the track is very wide and quite often the apex of the corner is not obvious. For example the apex of Turn 14 is hidden as you approach it."
Mark Webber
Q. What's the benefit of back to back races?
MW: "We like racing and it's another opportunity to go racing again soon, so that's a positive. We're already roughly in the same part of the world, so back to back races can be an efficient way for us to go racing; as an industry it's good organisation."
Q. How do you adapt your preparation and training with back to back races?
MW: "It's important to make sure you get ready for the next race off the back of the first one, so travelling as soon as you can is important. If you have a very big result at the first race then you're not going to stay in the night club too long that evening celebrating, as you need to make sure you're ready for the next event. It's a short turnaround; you want to make sure that the training is sensible and you're keeping yourself healthy."
Q. Do you prefer to go from one race to the next or to have a longer gap between races?
MW: "It's good to have a back to back, then a bit of a break, and then back to back again. When we're off we have a bit of a chance to regroup."
Q. What's your favourite corner of the Bahrain Circuit?
MW: "I quite like the last sector, Turns 12 and 13, up over the crest, that's a nice part of the lap. It's a little bit quicker, because the rest of the track is quite slow and not super exhilarating. There are some quick-ish corners, which are quite rewarding."

Mark Webber had few complaints about his running at Barcelona on Friday other than the "less enjoyable" part of putting mileage on old tyres.
After a wet start to proceedings on Friday morning, which saw Red Bull finish well off the pace on a drying track, the Bulls were back on form in the afternoon's session.
Almost immediately Webber and his team-mate Sebastian Vettel made a charge up on the timesheets on the hard Pirelli tyres and when everyone swapped to the mediums they put in a repeat performance.
Vettel finished at the top of the timesheets while Webber, who was third quickest, was just 0.083s down on the German.
"It looks reasonably tight," Webber said.
"We had a good time on fresh tyres and enjoyed it and then we go out and drive around and save tyres, the less enjoyable part of the job! But anyway that's what we've got to do.
"We couldn't have got much more out of it today in terms of info considering the first session was a bit scrappy for everybody because of the weather.
"But overall, a pretty good day for us. We'll find out on Sunday."

Delta Phi
Delta Phi at Brown is the oldest chapter in the oldest continuing national fraternity in the country. As such, we have a great tradition to uphold that stretches back nearly 200 years. We believe firmly that the college fraternity is an intimate, personal experience best shared amongst the closest of friends. D-Phi also has a deserved reputation for being an extremely close-knit, socially-oriented house, whose diversity is reflected in the collection of successful athletes, scholars, and leaders in the Brown community that are our members. Not only are our parties among the best on campus, but we also are active in a variety of community service pursuits, most recently including a mentoring program at a Providence inner city high school. But the most important thing Delta Phi offers are friendships that will last a lifetime. We hope you will stop by at one of our parties or open houses to meet the brothers who define what Delta Phi is today. Semper Ubique!
