First Smeal MBA Sustainability Case Competition - Fall 2014
The Smeal College of Business is pleased to announce that it will launch its inaugural MBA sustainability case competition late this summer. Smeal is in its sixth year of integrating sustainability into its teaching, research and outreach missions. The MBA sustainability case competition is its most recent teaching initiative.
Developing the ability of students to make a compelling business case for integrating sustainability into a company's operations, products, or governance is essential to Smeal's approach to teaching sustainability. This approach is strongly endorsed by the Smeal Sustainability Advisory Board that consists of representatives from companies with distinguished sustainability records, including membership in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index. One of these companies, SKF, will be the subject of a case that is being written specifically for this competition. SKF, Alcoa, International paper, PepsiCo, and Verizon are sponsors of the First Smeal MBA Sustainability Case Competition.
The case setting is an SKF business area that includes units that make and sell bearings, seals, and actuators for both traditional and renewable energy industries. Current and anticipated regulations plus political and social trends in the US and elsewhere have both positive and negative implications for SKF's strategic priorities and investment decisions. Registration is open to teams from any AASCB accredited MBA program in the US and Canada. Teams may consist of three or four members and a maximum of two teams per MBA program. At least three team members must be MBA students. Registration will begin on Friday, August 22 and end at midnight on Monday, September 15. The fee to register is $100.
The competition will consist of two rounds. The case will be available to registered MBA teams by 12pm (Noon) on Friday, September 19. The preliminary round will consist of electronic submissions of case analyses by 5:00 pm on Wednesday, October 1. Submissions will include a PowerPoint summary of the case analysis (maximum of ten slides) and an Executive Summary (one page). A panel of judges will select five teams to be finalists and announce the results on Friday, October 24. These teams will be invited to Penn State to compete for first ($10,000), second ($5000) and third place ($2500) prizes. Finalists may use any audio-visual medium (including but not limited to PowerPoint slides) to supplement their oral presentation. A panel of judges from the sponsoring companies will select the winners. The Smeal College will cover expenses for rooms and meals while finalists are on campus. Finalists are expected to pay their own travel expenses to University Park, PA. The final round will be held on December 4-5, 2014.
Important dates to review:
- Registration submission between August 22-September 15
- The case will be available to registered MBA teams by 12pm (Noon) on Friday, September 19
- PowerPoint (no more than 10 slides) and 1 page Executive Summary due by 5:00 pm on October 1
- Finalist Results - Announced on October 24
- Finalist Round - December 4-5 at University Park Campus
Submission Instructions:
- Your submissions are due no later than 5:00 pm on Wednesday, October 1. As a reminder, please add an eleventh slide to your PPT slide deck or an extra sheet to your executive summary that includes your team member names and school affiliation. Do not put your names, school or logo on any other slides or pages. We will substitute the added page that has your ID with a coded page that we will use to track your submission through the evaluation process.
- In the interest of fairness, all teams should have an equal amount of space in which to write their executive summary. Therefore, margins (L, R, T, B) on the one-page executive summary must be 1". Fonts must be Times New Roman, No. 11.
- Annotations on the PPT slide "notes" are not considered part of a submission. Essential slide content must fit within the "presentation mode"
For further information, contact Dr. Gerald Susman at firstname.lastname@example.com.
I am pleased to announce the selection of five teams as finalists for the Smeal MBA Case Competition. These teams will be invited to Penn State on December 4-5 to compete for $17,500 in prize money. As the twenty-nine registered teams know, identification was removed from all submissions and replaced with a code number. None of the five judges knew the identity of any team during the evaluation. Narrowing the number of teams to five was extremely difficult after the best ten or so had been identified. These submissions were re-read and ranked in order to determine the final five teams. Many thanks to my Smeal faculty colleagues, Donald Hambrick, Vilmos Misangyi, Raghu Garud, Terry Harrison for assisting me in the evaluation. Gerald Susman
Ohio State (Fisher) Team leader is Joseph Gavin
Dartmouth (Tuck) Team leader is Jonathan Elkin
Indiana University (Kelley) Team leader is Kevin Ruuhela
Purdue (Krannert) Team leader is Arun Bharadwaj
Penn State (Smeal) Team leader is Darius Yuwono
We will contact these five teams within the next two weeks to help them make plans for their trip to University Park, PA. The composition of the panel of judges to evaluate the presentations by the finalists is nearly complete. It will consist of three senior executives from SKF, one from Pepsico, and a fifth executive yet to be named.
Many thanks to the twenty-nine teams that registered for the case competition. The quality of your work was truly impressive and made our selection task especially challenging. The full list of registered teams is as follows – each school was allowed to register up to two teams:

Description of 59653 MORGAN LAKE ROADElk Song Ranch comprises 7198+/- contiguous, deeded acres in the Blue Mountains. It is located four miles west of La Grande Oregon. La Grande population is 12,000; with a university, hospital, major grocery chains and an airport that can accommodate most corporate aircraft. The luxury of these nearby amenities is enhanced by the fact that Elk Song begins behind the locked gate at the end of the county road and its boundaries are surrounded by private property. The area to the west and south of the ranch consists of hundreds of square miles of private land and national forest without significant population or paved roads. For the past 14 years the ranch has been managed for the benefit of its wildlife and natural resources. The most extraordinary features of the ranch are its namesake, the wild, free-ranging elk. They are resident on the ranch from March to December and it is expected and normal to see several hundred a day. The largest count in one day was over 3500. It is also normal to see 50 or more branch antlered bulls in a day. Hunting success over the last 14 years is over 95%. In addition to the elk the ranch is home to many other game birds and animals including: bear, turkey, deer, grouse, doves, quail. Elk Song is in essence a 7198+/- acre private game reserve and virtual wilderness in an area referred to as the Serengeti by Oregon Game Biologists due to its immense game populations. The terrain of the ranch is diverse with approximately 4000 acres of timber land, 12 miles of flowing streams, large open meadows, dense thickets and deep canyons. The elevation varies from 3500 to 5000 feet, with a network of grassy logging roads that accommodate ATVs throughout the ranch. Main roads allow 4wd vehicle access to most areas. There are nine stock ponds that hold water year round and dozens of live springs. OWNER WILL CARRY A PORTION OF THE SALE CONTRACT |

I have a gas line outside the house that is freezing up and not letting gas get to my furnace. Mind you its -25 windchill. The thing is my exhaust outlet from my heater is right next to my gas line regulator and is causing it to freeze up from all the steam it is pumping out. My question is: Would this be my problem? Thus meaning my exhaust pipe would have to be moved? or does it seem like the regulator is a little weird making it the gas companies problem? This is the first winter I've ever had with this house, I purchased it in May. The coil on my heater went out because of the gas line freezing up and not getting any gas into the heater thus making the heater turn on and off for hours. Not even sure if the coil did burn out, this is what the mechanic said? Is this possible? The regulator is now blocked by a piece of sheet metal which is only a temporary till hopefully tomorrow. Open to all ideas. I'm going to call the gas company tomorrow and already have the mechanic getting some stuff together to lengthen the pipe so it isn't directly blowing steam into the regulator. I just wonder how it has made it every other winter and now the regulator is acting up? Thanks |

I changed out many frozen up gas meters during my years as a repairman for a natural gas utility. Bu those were overwhelmingly on low pressure gas mains, about 1/4 PSI above atmospheric pressure, which allowed water to get into gas mains, services and meters and freeze up during cold weather. Since you presumably have a regulator on the meter, you probably have a higher pressure system not susceptible to that problem. Regulators have a mechanical linkage that could, I suppse, freeze up from moisture condensing on it from a furnace as you describe. At least at the utility where I worked, responding to calls of the utility not supplying gas to customers was a high priority, and if the utility's equipment wasn't providing service that was repaired at no cost. Have you actually disconnected the meter outlet to verify that you aren't getting any gas? I'm wondering why you conclude that the regulator is frozen up. Having the utility inspect the condition of the meter and regulator is probably the best approach. They would be able to tell you if the meter or regulator is frozen, and tell you if the furnace vent is a likely cause of the problem. Frankly, I wouldn't volunteer that as the problem --- let them figure it out rather than suggesting a cause. |

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Press TV said anti-government demonstrations continued in Bahrain with
protesters "coming out to mark the 4th month of opposition to the monarchy
rule", Press TV said. Rallies had been reported in several villages "in
the face of a deadly crackdown", the TV said. It added that the country's
main opposition group Al-Wefaq had called on a mass peaceful rally on
Friday 17 June. The TV said "the government's use of terror to silence
critics continue despite the previously announced lifting of martial law".
"The regime's crackdown continues while it has proposed talks with
opposition groups. But the opposition says there is no point in dialogue
if the government continues to deny Bahrainis their basic rights a nd
brutally clamp down on the opposition with the help of foreign troops,"
the TV said.
A Yemeni tribal leader has lashed out at the USA for "backing" President
Salih's regime, the TV said. It quoted Shaykh Sadiq al-Ahmar, chief of the
Yemeni Hashid tribe, as saying that weapons the US supplies to the Yemeni
government are being used against civilians. It added that a rally had
been held in the capital city to demand the formation of a transitional
council and "the ouster of the regime's remnants". It quoted a government
spokesman as saying that the formation of the transitional council would
mean the return to a totalitarian regime.
A group of US lawmakers has filed a lawsuit against President Barack Obama
over military operations in Libya, the TV said. It went on to say that 12
people had been killed in a fresh NATO air strike on Tripoli. Press TV
also added that "revolutionary forces" were slowly advancing to Tripoli
and es tablished control over two villages.
In its 0400 nad 0600 news Press TV also reported the launch of Iran's
Rasad satellite into orbit and showed the video of the launch.

Please please please can you provide a download link to this file somewhere on your web site? I would like to deploy a standalone program to a user, but this file size is rather prohibitive of any practical method of file transfer for me (other than by post on a cd!) and rather restrictive therefore of matlab program development. Surely this would encourage more use of matlab programs in general (increasing sales hint hint to the money and legal men!!!). It is supposed to be freely distributeable after all, isn't it? If this is not possible can you go into detail about why this is not possible please. |

Is her jump ******ed now? the best escape for trist and only survival use is broken. i tried to jump over a wall and i dont. I tried jumping away from tryd, he for some reason, prevents my jump and i die. I Jumped in mid air, but rammus for some reason, stopped my jump in MID AIR? WTF? trist is broken now. Is this a bug or something?
Senior Member
The game got confused with all the numbers in your name.
Rindon Calsar
You missed calculated the jump through the wall, happens a lot. Not sure what tryn did to you but ram either hit you in roller mode or taunted you as soon as you tried to jump.
trist doesn't actually jumps until you see her land, in the code she's still standing exactly where you started the jump, basically it's like a channeled flash. rammus probably hit your spot that you thought you left when you were in mid-air, and actually being stationary in the code it said rammus hit you.
I forget who
Actually Trist can get hit while in mid-air by almost anyone. The funniest thing I've seen was when Malphite ulted while she jumped, causing her to stop her trajectory, fly even higher, and get stunned when landing.
Liquid Difiance
the funniest trist jump fail i have seen so far is when i was using singed, i tried to fling tristana back exactly when she jumped forward. She died soon afterwards but even she laughed. Picture her at her highest point in the jump going forward and then all of a sudden thrown back at that high point.
The being moved while in the air i dont think is a bug(although very annoying)... Sometimes one can try to jump accross the terrain(near a cliff) and the jump completely fails effectivly stunning yourself for a second and eliminating your only escape to become food for the other team. That is a bug imo.
Axis the Dragon
-EDIT- Double post, sorry.
has anyone had the time when they jump then they get hit out of site, then you are sitting there for a few seconds going wtf before your character comes back down?

text: By Bill O'Neil A first of it's kind class--for the trainers of those who will be school marshals in Texas--is underway in San Marcos. The motivation to write the legislation to create the program came in part out of the sorrow in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting. "That, coupled with the fact that I am the father of DID (Dallas Independent School District) school children of that age--it just was something that became very personal to me, very important" State Representative Jason Villalba told 550 KTSA News. The goal of the program is to create a new class of law enforcement officer, who can specialize in active shooter and other emergency situations. With the training of the trainers underway, Villalba said school districts around the state are watching very closely. "I think now that we're doing that, I think you're going to see a number of schools initiate interest in this" Villalba said.

I'm in Florida and just purchased three of these bushes. I'm concerned about our heat and humidity and how they'll do. Tag said full sun/part shade, but they were a bit wilted in the sun. How do you grow these? The tag also says it flowers fall and winter, but this one is starting to flower now. I'm confused about where to plant it and how long it flowers. Please help!

Follow-Up Postings:
I'm not sure it acts the same in your Florida conditions as it does here in California. It comes from the subtropical summer rainfall areas of South Africa, but probably mostly occurs at higher elevations in the mountains where the heat and humidity is not as extreme as it is in Florida. Here in California it typically does start blooming in fall with shorter day length, and will continue into spring in southern California, but typically stops blooming with onset of colder weather in late December here in the San Francisco Bay Area. It is very prone to growing long floppy stems, and benefits from being tip pinched to promote bushiness several times after it finishes blooming. Of you could plant lower growing shrubs around it to help support the stems if you prefer to let it get tall. It is also very easy to start from new cuttings, and is a somewhat short lived perennial shrub in my opinion, that is best replaced with new ones after 3 to 4 years of growth. |

Good Points
Easy to use, good quality ringtones
Bad Points
Not many games
General Comments
I would recommend this Sagem MY X-5 mobile phone to anyone who wants to get a cheap phone but likes to download ringtones and logos for it. The problem is like all other phones the ringtones can be expensive so keep this in mind. This phone does not come with a camera because of the low price, But who cares because they're a bit rubbish anyway.

Hi Edi,
i found an missing Option at your Bike ! Please have a look here: Bottle opener So you have an additional Use for your Bike between your Races.... |
Mar 02, 2012, 06:24 PM | |
Ed is that the first initial run, you probably need some time to figure out what you can do to get it up to speed. It would benefit you not to just put this in the rubbish bend, you need more time with it. As you know development is not just in the design. The Jabber looks like a great bike that you have meshed with over time. Every bike I've had in the initial runnings was nothing close to what I developed it into over time. Give it some time!

Sad to hear bad news about this proyect.
I don´t know too much about your racing carreer but seems you´ll have to switch to cars for a while.... I´ll explain myself.... Previous Jabber bikes featured standard rear swingarms that made "roll center" move in a different way than your current dual link design. Why am I talking about roll center? Your new suspension system feature a chassis (as any car), dual links (as cars, one up and one down...) and an upright (the solid part of the swing arm, and the part that connects wheel shaft with suspension in any car...). The cars can be adjusted in just any way to get the proper roll center while cornering to get the ideal traction for any kind of track. You need to tune the "roll center" of the rear suspension to get the best accelerating and braking, not in curves, so seems to need a different setting/reaction than any car would. Drift cars can be set with high roll centers to make their suspension systems less sensible and lead to slide at corners... While most cars need a roll center that moves down with suspension compression to get more traction but this will soften rear setting and cool down tyres in a bike. To keep them on the right threshold of temperatures, while still having the benefits of an actuating suspension on wheelies, you may have to change upper link mounting position on chassis. Can you move it? (I´ll keep where for myself... ) I would need much more info about your design than I actually have to accurately point where to drill, but these are some ideas I had this afternoon while having lunch with my wife and daugther... Both them think my case is hopeless... Happy to help a world champ.... See you soon. Cesar. |

This is a Picture of my Bike running in Lostallo at the Worlds.
Here you see how much the suspension of a Bike compresses in a turn. At the front there are just about 5mm left. Looking at the rear only I can see that there are max. 8mm of travel left for the rear swingarm. Considering the springs I used in Lostallo and the amount of compression, it is "pulling" over2Gs through that turn. Leaning angle is 19° with those Crashbars mounted. Crazy somehow that a bike still stays on its wheels in such a situation. Picture is courtesy of Bernhard Renner, thanks. |

Here is the most spectacular picture he sent me. I myself cant believe the bike was really driving. But I surly never posed a picture like that. Try to follow the trajectory back to the curb. How close can you go |

your calculation about the g-force ist correct. we have done tests with a gps and g-force datalogger in a large scale f1 car on my track in dormagen. the fast corner at the end of the straight was drive though with close to 2g and i suppose the speed of a car and bike are about the same at that part of the track. unfortunatly this system we used would be too heavy and too large to be used in a bike. |

I don't see anything (based on photo with article) that couldn't be explained by Rudbeckia genes alone...but perhaps the growth and foliage reflects the Echinacea. I'm skeptical...and wait to be convinced. |

Rouge, I'm glad you brought it up again, it's been about a month since I bought mine and I can't say enough nice things about this new plant. Mine is in full bloom now, the flowers last and last and last, almost like they're suspended in time. While other things have suffered a bit from this long hot spell we've had not this plant. I still have to see how it deals with winter, I've lost a few Echinaceas due to too wet a winter but I have high hopes for this Echibeckia. I have the orange flowering one but will keep my eyes open for the other ones. It's raining right now but will try and get a picture of mine later. It's heeled in, a temporary spot for the time being. I'm still working on that small overgrown bed, so far two wheelbarrows full of roots dug. I'm afraid this bed isn't going to be ready for awhile, want to make sure i've got all the L. of the V. roots out before I do any planting. Annette |
To be honest, I am sceptical too, First off, it looks like a shoo-in for rudbeckia hirta....so I guess the perennial promise is the USP here ....but mostly, I have triailed a few intergeneric hybrids and all of them, in varying extents, seems to have some terrible weakness. For a self-confessed seed saver, the inevitable sterility is hardly ever an asset, especially in late flowerers such as the rudbeckias or anything which has a flowering cycle dependent on daylight length (shortening days after the solstice). Secondly, many hybrids seem to inherit a worrying disposition to come down with diseases. Hybrid vigour: we all recognise this phenomenon but when cutting across genera, I have not truly noticed any plus in this area. Finally, I spent 4 years at hort.college walking past a tragic laburnocytisus Adamsii hybrid - for 4 weeks every May, I used to actually cut across fields at the rear of the college to avoid the grisly sight of this horror. They had a hawthorn and something one (graft chimaera) and several stone fruit hybrids as well (which I don't grow) but nothing as upsetting as the Adamsii. Still, I am failing to get terribly excited about many of these highly bred nursery confections - possibly being a little bit poor but mostly because I have nearly always gone down the seed and cutting route and have pretty much missed out on the massive breeding programmes of the last 30 years or so (and as I often make some spare money by selling plants, the Breeder's rights and patents are essentially an obstacle. So, I shall not be spending money on this until it has had a thorough testing and even then, it would need to have sterling properties before parting with (gasp) cash money.. |

Rebecca Adlington backs ex-coach Bill Furniss to make a big splash
Rebecca Adlington, Britain's most successful swimmer ever, retires as her old coach steps up to take on team head coach role
Rebecca Adlington believes the future of British swimming is bright following their appointment of the coach who guided her to four Olympic medals.
Adlington announced her expected retirement in London today, calling time on the most successful swimming career in British history.
And just 24 hours earlier Bill Furniss, who coached Adlington since she was 11 at the Nova Centurion club in Nottingham, was confirmed as British Swimming's new head coach.
"I think swimming has got the right people in charge now, the challenge is going to be turning all our finalists into medallists in the next few years," said Adlington, who had made no secret she wanted a British coaching set-up to succeed the partnership of Australian Michael Scott and American Dennis Pursley after they quit following a disappointing home Games.
"Bill is a fantastic coach, he's seen it all first hand and he's so experienced. I wish him all the best and I'll always be there to offer any advice if he needs it.
"Not working with Bill is the hardest thing about not competing anymore. He helped me grow as an athlete and as a person. It will be hard not to see him every day, having him there to guide me.
"But I'm so excited for him. It's exactly the right time for him to take the next step and he will do a brilliant job."
Adlington won double gold as a teenager in Beijing and claimed double bronze at the London 2012 Olympics.
She also won four world medals, including 800m freestyle gold in 2011, and double gold at the 2010 Commonwealth Games in Delhi.
But her retirement at the age of 23 is no major surprise – although she wants to stay involved in the sport and has been quickly installed as a dream contestant for this year's Strictly Come Dancing – her favourite TV show.
"I don't have any regrets and I certainly won't miss getting up at 5am every day," she added.
"I hope I will be missed and I hope that I made an impact. We need to have more belief in our sport in this country. We can be negative but a home Olympics means people have pushed us up rather than pulled us down.
"There is a long way to go because we've not got the facilities of Australia, China and the USA but I'd love to be involved in helping the talent coming up.
"I've been swimming since I was four years old, it just feels the right time to stop. I've not retired from swimming though, I've just retired from competing."
Adlington's career was praised by British Olympic Association chairman Lord Coe, who dubbed her a "national treasure".
"Becky Adlington's unforgettable success in Beijing inspired a generation to get in the pool and swim," he said.
"Becky's vision for the future of grass roots swimming in this country will create a wonderful legacy from one of our greatest Olympians.
"I have no doubt this vision will be pursued with the same drive, dedication and determination as Becky consistently displayed in the pool."
And British Olympic Association chief executive Andy Hunt, the Team GB chef de mission at London 2012, hailed her "remarkable talent and tireless work ethic".
"Becky Adlington has set a standard of excellence that future generations of Team GB athletes will aspire to reach," he said.
"She represents the very best of what British sport, and the Olympic Movement, are all about. As Becky transitions now into a new phase of her career, we wish her the very best for continued success, and congratulate her on her remarkable career with Team GB."

Back in the 70's I had an iron-on pattern for a pillowcase that you embroidered a girl walking under a rose arbor and crocheted in the skirt and edging around the pillowcase. I foolishly gave away all my work and eventually did away with the pattern.
I do not remember the name of the company that made the pattern. Anyone who can help will be very much appreciated. (Feeling a little nostalgic these days.) Thanks. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Here are a couple vintage sites, write to the gals here, and see if they can assist you in some way. I remember what you are talking about, but never had a pattern like that at all. These sites don't always list what they have, you have to inquire about things, don't be bashful, the gals are very helpful. Hope this helps somewhat. http://www.yesterdazes.com/ http://www.vintageknits.com/ http://www.ivarose.com/home http://www.cyberattic.com/directory/Sewing:Needlework40.html http://www.grandmashouse.ws/Books/Crochet.html |
I don't have the pattern, but I do know what you are talking about. My mother in law made them. Tami |

Now I only look in on the sport occasionally, having walked away from it the day Bruce McLaren was killed. That was June 2, 1970, and I was sitting in my office at the advertising agency when our number one client called. It was John De Lorean, then general manager of Chevrolet, and he said: "I just got a call from England. Bruce McLaren was killed this morning. He was testing at Goodwood." I was upset by the news, certainly, but my friends had been dying in racing cars since I first got involved in the early Fifties, and I was getting used to it. By the time I got home from work that night, I'd made my peace with the idea that he was gone. It was in that frame of mind that I passed the news on to my three kids in the kitchen, and they were thunderstruck. They'd had a helicopter ride around the Elkhart Lake circuit with Bruce just months before. He'd invited them to sit in his big orange Can-Am car in the paddock. Their horror at the news of his death peeled away the business-as-usual protective veneer that I'd been wearing for fifteen years, and I, too, came face to face with the reality of Bruce McLaren's death.
The more I thought about it, the more my own insensitivity bothered me. I began to make lists of friends who'd died in racing cars, starting with Ira Garfunkel, who'd rolled his 1500cc HRG in a hill-climb the day I got married in 1955. The list grew, until at last there were the names of more than fifty people who'd eaten dinner at my house, played with my kids, called me in the middle of the night, borrowed my cars, helped me close bars in towns from Riverside, California, to Caltavuturo, Sicily, and then suddenly died. I decided it was too much.
I announced to friends and family that I wouldn't attend another race until all of my friends were out of it. It didn't make any difference; they continued to die anyway. But time passed and everybody I'd known, save A.J. Foyt and Mario Andretti, had packed it in. And, I must confess, I found a wide range of uses for weekends, once I'd stopped spending them all at races.
Now, I feel a bit like somebody who can't get over an old girlfriend. I know that racing has changed completely in the years that I've been away, and I'm not crazy about any of the changes, but that's probably just the dry-in-the-mouth bitterness of an ex-lover. Two years ago I watched Jackie Stewart strap himself into a Benetton Formula 1 car and streak out of the pits at Oulton Park, and I felt exactly the same rush of excitement and admiration I'd felt the first time he raced in the United States, at Watkins Glen, in 1965. I felt like Humphrey Bogart in Casablanca, for Crissake. It's the oldest cliché in the world: Just when you think you've gotten over some woman, you meet her on the street and you go all warm and moist again.
I hadn't thought much about any of this until quite recently, when I received a letter from Pedro Rodriguez's stepson, Mr. Guy Zugasti. He enclosed a sheaf of photographs, including one I had taken of him at a party at Pedro and Angelina's home in Cuernavaca a couple of days after the Mexican Grand Prix of 1965. Graham Hill and Jackie Stewart were there, as were Ludovico Scarfiotti and Lorenzo Bandini. A riotous soccer game was part of the day's festivities, and, as usual, Graham Hill was more riotous than anybody. Mr. Zugasti's letter reminded me that next year will mark the twentieth anniversary of Pedro's death at Germany's Norisring, July 11, 1971.

Editors' Top PicksSee All
Taking MP3 players in the water is not a new concept. First, we saw underwater cases--initially aimed at scuba divers--for iRivers and iPods. And then came the standalone underwater MP3 players for surfers and swimmers. Nu-Global's Dolphin Swimmer MP3 player straddles the line between the last two, offering a compact device that can be strapped onto goggles for swimming laps or secured in an armband for hitting the surf. The 1GB Dolphin is far from perfect, with the main concern being the security of the earbuds during vigorous water activity, but with its reasonable $110 price tag, it's a step in the right direction for waterproof MP3 players.
The Dolphin Swimmer is perhaps the most unassuming MP3 player we've ever seen. It's a small (2.4 inches long and 0.8 inch in diameter), simple cylinder that looks more like a pill case than an audio device. The player is wrapped in a smooth, brushed metallic casing that is seamless and--unsurprisingly--offers no place for a screen. The giveaways that this is indeed an MP3 player can be found on either end of the device. One side features a recessed, 2.5-millimeter headphone jack that has some ridging along the opening that allows you to screw in the included headphones for a watertight fit. This is a pretty neat feature, actually, because it allows the unit to keep water out while not using any sort of rubber flaps or seals, which would take away from the sleek feel of the device. However, we're not so thrilled with the non-standard headphone jack as it means that you'll need an adapter to use regular headphones while outside the water--something we definitely recommend (more on why shortly).

Pinterest is the social network favorite of the minute, as well as your company should be making cash from it. Pinterest is large (3.3 million individuals) and also it catches users attention (typical site time 72 mins).
What is Pinterest?
Pinterest is basically a digital notice board. Like the various other social networks individuals can adhere to other individuals and also obtain updates that the original user blog posts to their board.
What makes Pinterest one-of-a-kind?
Pinterest is an aesthetic social media network. Discussions do happen, the entire idea is to receive messages aesthetically instead compared to textually.When a user clicks on another person's pinned image, Pinterest will take the customer back to the initial page where they discovered that image. Site visitors that are fascinated by an image simply click it to discover even more details on the original website. Pinterest enables the user to view which the individual re-pinned the image from. If Sally re-pinned a photo from Joe and also a user suches as the photo, then perhaps the user also wants to follow Joe.
How can I equate this into earnings?
To translate a Pinterest account into income, the key is driving traffic. Get your brand name on Pinterest– producing a board allows customers to learn concerning your brand aesthetically. This is a different encounter compared to lots of webpages as well as permits you to tap into the emotional calls to a consumer. Pinterest is like a free of cost, highly aesthetic PPC advertisement without the spending for clicks. Use re-pinning similarly you use re-tweeting– Pinterest is an aesthetic social media network that enables simple sharing. Pinterest allows others to re-pin your content quickly and also a user that clicks the re-pinned photo still goes back to the original source (your page). Placed them on the site and also watch as people come to your website sensation influenced if you are part of an Internet business you probably currently have outstanding graphics
Get to people that are not actively browsing– Pinterest allows the marketer to upload pictures in position where customers are searching anyhow. As users go to the numerous graphics they are not necessarily doing so by brand, however instead are doing this by graphic. This enables smaller sized brands to place their more aesthetically stunning photos up and also contend with the bigger brands. In addition, these customers are simply checking out graphics and are not going shopping. That is a highly qualified site visitor that is most likely to transform if they come across a photo and like it so considerably that they go to your web page.

WoW | 4 Comments |
Recent Comments:
Two Bosses Enter: Murozond vs. Queen Azshara {WoW}
Mar 27th 2012 6:52AM I like Murozond. I love his story and the implications of his quotes from the fight that there is a worse event than the Hour of Twilight in our future. I love that he is the medium that has Nozdormu give a Slaughterhouse 5 shout out. It is a creative fight . It is also the (seeming) end fight of a storyline 5 to 7 years in the making depending on if you want to include Chromie's Vanilla quest in Andorhal as part of the Infinite Storyline or not.
That aside, realistically I think Azshara would mop the floor here depending on her minions. This is a fight that is hers to win or lose.
I am iffy about whether her mind control abilities would affect Murozond. For one he is an Aspect. As seen in the Well of Eternity instance right after you fight her the Old Gods themselves had trouble handling Deathwing when he came to claim the Dragon/Demon Soul. Second, this is a corrupted, fanatical version of Nozdormu. Even then, her "mindcontrol" is charm dependent. Even though she is egotistical enough to believe she could charm even Sargeras, Murozond is a corrupted, fanatical version of Nozdormu. Especially since he knows she is a few days from spouting a few tentacles.
So she has nothing to do, but sit back and control the Hour Glass in a fine tuned manner. She's even sadistic enough that'd she wait till all her guards are dead or near dead before rewinding time. Assuming that her "I'm bored, peace out!" end mechanic won't take effect until all the charges are used up.
That is the first major issue of the fight. Azshara's laziness + Hour Glass = advantage Azshara.
In her fight she has two of each magi. How intelligently they fight. This is the second key part of the fight.
• If they attack two at a time, Murozond wins. The buffs of the hour glass won't be as great on the four that sit around doing whatever it is they do till they join in.
• They are enthralled by Azshara. There is a chance that they would stand around in the temporal bomb spots (fire) blindly out of devotion. Some of them do have abilities that lock them in place.
• Murozond has a few attacks that can strike multiple opponents at once. So if the Magi are too paniced or enthralled to think to spread out, Murozond would make quick work of them.
This is a tough one for me to call. Technically, even as a Murozond fan, I would have to say Azshara should be able to mop the floor with him. Her downfall here, if she loses, is in her own control needs. She might lose this fight if she replaced too much of her own soldiers' critical thinking with mindless devotion.
Two Bosses Enter: Vanessa VanCleef vs. Zanzil {WoW}
Oct 19th 2011 5:08PM Zanzil and Vanessa, both outcasts of a sort. One orphaned and one driven out. One having them seek him out for return and the other wanting to prove her own might.
We have here a magical vodoo master of a troll who has survived on his own for years, decades in Stranglethorn on his own. An outcast driven out by all the regional trolls. One who has taken on and zombified Nagaa, humans, trolls and developed his own form of necromancy separate than that of the Scourge.
And you have a 16 or so year old girl who admits she isn't up to her father's skill in hand to hand fighting, but is good with poisons. Wait, so is Zanzil. Hahaha.
Zanzil takes this like an old master laying the smack down on an apprentice. Zanzil doesn't just mix poison, he stand in it confidently as we heroes have to scurry for the cure. That tells me he has built up strong immunities. Don't forget this is the guy who made the ol' "Touch of Zanzil" debuff that all young rogues had to deal with, at least on the Horde side.
He takes Vanessa's poisons like a boss, and throws back suggestions on how to improve them. Should she live. On the flip side, Vanessa is smart. She'd likely pick up on the cauldron use to avoid Zanzil's poison.
Their respective adds might be able to counter each other. If this is the case then it'll be just Zanzil and Vanessa. Except for one thing, Zanzil's poison.
It takes out Vanessa's help. One brute, one ghoul swarm and then using his AOE poison would ensure that this is an army against Vanessa alone. Her only hope at this point would to have placed explosives around the area beforehand. But that would have to be a near final gambit.
Should Zanzil survive the explosives, but the cauldron get destroyed the battle is lost for her. Her last sight would be a green cloud rushing towards her.
Breakfast Topic: Lore and story progression via static NPCs {WoW}
Jun 1st 2008 11:15AM While the idea of making NPC selectively visible feels off to me, I could get used to almost anything as long as it is consistent.
The current style of replacing NPCs unless they are either in an instance or in the world seems to work. Brann could always leave his assistant behind.
Breakfast Topic: The leveling curve (and bending it) {WoW}
May 29th 2008 11:47AM My current record would be my priest, if I felt like finishing getting her to 70 when I pick up the game again.
66/68 according to my memory and just starting Zangarmarsh. Even then, that's because I decided to just skip Falcon's Watch when I just reached it at 66.
