Research Interests: Prion diseases are a group of fatal neurodegenerative diseases that affect humans (e.g. Creutzfeldt-Jacob disease) and animals (e.g. chronic wasting disease). All prion diseases of animals and a majority of prion diseases in humans are due to prion exposure by a peripheral route (e.g. ingestion). Details of the mechanism(s) of prion transport to the CNS are poorly understood. My lab is investigating three areas of prion pathogenesis. First, we are exploring alternative routes of prion entry into the host in an attempt to better define the possible routes that prions can gain access to the CNS. Second, we are investigating the role of the innate immune system in processing and transport of prions to secondary LRS tissues. Finally, we are interested in factors that influence susceptibility of neurons to prion infection and/or replication.

Research Interests: My fundamental research interest is virus-host cell interactions, specifically related to the replication and pathogenesis of a subgroup (subfamily) of retroviruses known as lentiviruses. Members of this subfamily include the human and simian (monkey) immunodeficiency viruses (HIV and SIV, respectively). Our goal is to better understand not only how these viruses reproduce (replicate) and cause disease, but also how host cell interactions contribute to this process. Our current research focuses on characterizing events that occur very early in virus infection. We use proteomic and cell biology approaches to obtain results that provide insights not only into mechanisms of virus replication and pathogenesis, but also the biology of cellular pathways. Projects include: 1) The isolation and mass spectrometry analysis of HIV protein complexes; 2) The characterization of the role of novel host proteins in HIV replication; 3) study of the nuclear import of HIV preintegration complexes; and 4) the evaluation of inhibitors of HIV infection.

Research Interests: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (CNS) in humans. Patients with MS normally experience a chronic progressive loss of motor and/or sensory functions. The origin of MS is unknown, although some investigators have postulated than an environmental agent (i.e. a virus or bacteria) may trigger the disease. My laboratory utilizes a mouse model of virus-induced demyelination (Theiler's murine encephalomyelitis virus) to study immune factors involved in the development of pathology and clinical disease.

Research Interests:
My laboratory is involved in research related to the epidemiological analysis (i.e., tracking the movement in patient populations) of problem bacterial pathogens. We have developed a number of methods that are currently used both nationally and internationally to monitor the movement of these organisms (e.g., pulsed field gel electrophoresis, PCR, and DNA sequence based methods). With the explosion of new chromosomal sequence information (there are now approximately 200 completely sequenced bacterial genomes) we are searching for new, previously unknown, chromosomal "signature" sequences that may help to identify problem bacterial pathogens and better allow us to monitor their spread.

Research Interests: My laboratory is interested in mechanisms of immune repertoire diversification. My research program is focused on studying various aspects of V(D)J recombination, which is the process by which genes that encode antibodies and the receptors on T cells are assembled during cell development. Our three major areas of research are: (1) identifying and characterizing protein-DNA complexes involved in the cleavage and joining phases of V(D)J recombination; (2) determining how recurrent targets of aberrant V(D)J recombination, which have been identified in certain forms of cancer, are targeted by the V(D)J recombinase; and (3) exploring the developmental stage specificity of secondary V(D)J recombination events that occur in response to B cell receptor engagement of self-antigen (receptor editing) or to immunization or infection (receptor revision).

Hinsdale doctor uses innovative treatments for foot problems
Hinsdale Foot and Ankle uses new, cutting-edge technology to provide relief for patients who suffer from "insane pain" and persistent fungal infections.
Kevin Salvino, a 25-year, board-certified foot and ankle specialist in Hinsdale, specializes in treating all conditions of the foot and ankle.
What are the latest treatments for heel pain and fungal infections?
Two of the latest innovations for treating conditions of the foot — Shockwave Therapy and Q-Clear laser — provide painless relief at the center of Dr. Salvino's thriving practice.
How do these treatments work?
Shockwave Therapy is used to treat patients who suffer from chronic, sometimes crippling or "insane pain," as it is often called, in the heels of their feet.
Shockwave technology delivers shockwave energy to the affected tissue from the skin's surface. Self-healing processes occur where the pain is located. The long-term relief that follows the immediate relief from this non-invasive and painless procedure is changing the quality of life for those who have lived with heel pain for years.
Q-Clear laser, another pain free procedure Dr. Salvino performs, delivers light energy to the affected area that kills the fungus without killing the tissue. This treatment provides relief for patients who suffer from the symptoms of fungal infections such as, discoloration, cracking and pain. Oftentimes the symptoms have been untreatable through other methods such as medication due to harmful side effects.
Where are these procedures performed?
Dr. Salvino performs both procedures on-site.
Dr. Salvino is affiliated with three hospitals — Hinsdale Hospital, Lagrange Memorial, Good Samaritan and Loyola Surgical Center.
Please check with your insurance carrier to find out if these procedures are covered by insurance.

One day while strolling home and listening to my iPod, I noticed a large crowd of people coming my way. Ever the inquisitive one (nice way of putting it huh?), I decided to see what was going on.
It was Bumblebee, the Transformer!
The two ladies in the picture were preparing to run. Can you blame them? He WAS standing under a billboard talking about death.
The crowd followed him from one side of Times Square to the other. During that time he stopped traffic, made a few children cry and a bit more ran. Eventually the police made him take off his costume and leave the area. If he wouldn't have complied he would have been arrested.
Ahhh New York, never a boring day!
Happy WW!

Inside This Issue - News
Little has changed in the makeup of the top pharmacy retailers over the past year, but competition is sure to keep intensifying amid the changes being brought by health care reform.
The market reacted enthusiastically to last month's joint announcement that Loblaw Cos. would acquire Shoppers Drug Mart for $12.4 billion (Canadian).
Executives at Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart see the union of their companies as enhancing their efficiency and their appeal to the consumer.
Steve Courtman, president of Health Mart, the 3,126-store pharmacy franchise run by McKesson Corp., is confident the retailer has what it takes to flourish in an environment where the rules that have long governed health care delivery are in the process of being rewritten.
The Jean Coutu Group's decision last month to sell its remaining Rite Aid Corp. stock has led some industry watchers to speculate that the company may be either looking to acquire another Canadian retailer or put itself on the block.
The proportion of pharmacy customers who say they have a loyalty card or discount card or have been offered one was up significantly in the 2013 edition of the Pharmacy Satisfaction Pulse survey, conducted for Boehringer Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc.
The Obama administration's decision to delay an Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandate that large employers provide coverage for workers is a "wise move," said a top official with the National Retail Federation (NRF).
The moment has arrived: Twenty-seven months after the National Association of Chain Drug Stores announced the creation of the Total Store Expo, the event is here.
The three major drug chains have banned sales of the August issue of Rolling Stone magazine, which pictures accused Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover.
Walgreen Co. has named Mark Lelinski corporate vice president of market access.

"Extremely annoying narration"
I would certainly buy another book by Ralph Compton and Dusty Richards. I would not buy any book narrated by Scott Sowers.
Because of the poor narration, I couldn't listen to more than the first 2 or 3 chapters of the novel. What I did hear sounded like a fairly generic tale about an itinerant war veteran, struggling to find a place to live and encountering the usual problems - hostile townsfolk, random gunslingers, war widows, etc.
Scott Sower's characterizations were adequate as far as the sounds of the voices went. The problem with his narration was that he paused a few seconds between EVERY sentence. These pauses completely wrecked the story's continuity and frustrated me to the point where I put the book aside after listening to no more than 3 chapters.
I would not have cut any scenes. After listening to the first audio "draft", I would have instructed Scott Sowers to eliminate the pauses. If he could not do so, I would have assigned a different narrator to the project.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Jason says…
Crapple – This is not me being rude, but its what the combination of apple and carrot juice is commonly referred to as. This is a classic combination and is found in most juice bars around the world. Carrots, along with apples and pineapple are a great base juice and can be mixed with vegetable or fruit juices. They make a great juice because they are naturally sweet and a nutritional power house.
Juice or smoothie?
Carrots should always be Juiced. Many studies have shown how much more bio-available the nutrients are to the body once juiced compared to if you simply ate just .
Juicy Factoid
Originally carrots were purple or black and the modern day orange carrot that we know and love was actually a mutant strain!
Carrots get their bright orange colour from their high concentration of Vitamin A (beta carotene).
Of all the commonly consumed vegetables, carrots are the highest source of provitamin A. In fact a single carrot contains twice the RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) of Vitamin A.
Drinking too much carrot juice (and we mean A LOT of it) can turn your skin orange (think The Only Way is Essex). So carrot juice offers more than just a nutrient drink for those who like the orange skin tone and it beats a spray tan!
Did you know carrots are a member of the parsley family?
Juicy Benefits
Carrots are well renowned as the anticancer kings of the vegetable world. They contain some amazing anti-oxidants including alpha-carotene, lutein, beta-carotene and lycopene to name a few, however beta-carotene is the daddy of nutrients when it comes to its cancer preventing properties. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A. It is believed that beta-carotene can break down the protective mucous membrane around cancer cells.
Carrots are also an excellent source of lutein and zeaxanthin, which along with beta-carotene all concentrate in the retina of the eyes, which is why they are best known for helping eyesight, or as the old fable goes, for helping us to see in the dark, although we don't believe that one has been scientifically proven!
Carrots also enhance the overall function of our immune system by increasing the production and performance of our white blood cells. They can also help combat against cigarette smoke as they protect the respiratory system and it is also believed they help reduce high cholesterol levels.
The beta-carotene found in carrots is known to be highly protective for the heart and cardiovascular system, by helping to protect the structural integrity of the inner lining of the blood vessels, therefore helping to reduce ruptures and injury that can lead to the formation of clots.

1) Weather Related Emergency Events: February 1, 2011 – February 26, 2011
· 2/1-2/11: A major winter storm impacted almost the entire state of Illinois. Record or near record snowfall accumulations ranging from 10 to 18 inches…with isolated 20 inch totals were reported from Calhoun County through Springfield to Iroquois County and points to the north. Wind gusts of 50 to 70 mph created snow drifts more than 7 feet high. Hundreds of motorists were stranded and several interstates, state highways and county roads were closed. The powerful storm also produced 1 to 4 inches of sleet in parts of east central Illinois and ¼ to ¾ inch of ice and widespread power outages – roughly between I-70 and I-64. The Governor issued a disaster declaration nearly 24 hours prior to the onset of the storm.
NWS offices from Lincoln, Romeoville, Quad Cities and St. Louis – along with the Illinois State Climatologist have worked with IEMA and FEMA regarding official snow amounts and the establishment of new record snowfalls. The snowstorm/blizzard was the biggest snowstorm since January 1-3, 1999.
· 2/5/11: A weather disturbance tracked across southern Illinois, which produced 3 to 7 inches of snow south of I-70. The highest totals were around Breese and Mascoutah where 6 to 7 inches was reported.
· 2/24-25/11: A storm system tracking along the Ohio Valley produced moderate amounts of snow in west central Illinois – and heavy rain in southern Illinois. Snowfall totals ranged from 3 to 6 inches in much of central Illinois…with the highest amounts near 7 inches around Quincy. Rainfall totals ranged from 0.75" along I-70 to 2.50" in extreme southern Illinois near I-24.
· February 2011 weather (Courtesy of the Illinois State Climatologist and the Midwest Regional Climate Center):
Temperature: Temperatures through February 26th averaged near normal in most of central and southern Illinois, and 1 to 2 degrees below normal in northern Illinois. The coldest stretch of weather was from the 2nd to the 4th, and the 8th to the 10th when low temperatures dipped into the single digits and below zero in many locations. This was followed by record or near record warmth in the middle of the month.
Precipitation: Liquid precipitation averaged around 0.50" to 1.25" above normal in much of Illinois.
The heavy snow/blizzard of February 1-2 resulted in above normal snowfall for northern and central Illinois. This ranged from 16" above normal in extreme northeast Illinois…to 4-6" above normal in central Illinois. Only extreme southeast Illinois averaged normal to slightly below normal snowfall for the month.
a) Over 10 Million People Impacted by early February Blizzard (courtesy of Jim Angel, Illinois State Climatologist):
The February 1-2, 2011, blizzard crossed through much of central and northern Illinois. By overlaying the snowfall map over the 2000 Census data using GIS software, we can estimate the number of people in Illinois affected by the storm. A rule of thumb in winter storms is that economic impacts become significant in areas with 6 inches or more of snow.
About 10.9 million Illinois residents were in areas with 6 inches or more of snow in the February 1-2 storm. Furthermore, about 9.8 million Illinois residents were in areas with 12 inches or more of snow. And about 1.5 million Illinois residents were in areas with 18 inches or more of snow.
b) Solar Flare Impacts
Monday February 14th, the largest solar flare since December 2006 occurred. This event disrupted High Frequency (HF) radio communications and prompted a rerouting of air traffic near the poles. According to the NWS Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), three waves of energy merged into a single G1, or minor, geomagnetic storm.

All: got this email this evening. These are extremely well-made, and I wish I had known about this sale before ordering the last two for my wife and one for a pal! Note: I certainly agree wholeheartedly with all of the "don't carry off-the-body" folks, but recognize that doing so MAY be reasonable under certain conditions. And if you're going to get one, get one of these! The quality is excellent, and the ones on sale have the colors that suggest "fashion-challenged" at worst, rather than "shoot me first".
(the email had a different photo - see them all on their website - but this one shows the slick way these open)
Sale Synopsis
What: Large navy blue, royal blue, and mallard green gun packs!
How Much: Starting at $12.00!!!

That's right, only a dozen dollars! This applies to right-handed models in all three colors, and left-handed models in navy blue and mallard green. No coupon codes required, only ridiculous savings!
Accessories are not included in the discounted price. However, a Large royal blue right-handed pack with the Deluxe Upgrade Package can be yours for just $57.00 ($12.00 plus the $45 upgrade cost).

Pretty slick, huh?
You can get a gun pack with a 4-slot mag insert for only $27.00! Add four more slots for just an extra five bucks!

Genres: Silent, Drama, Comedy, Romance, Double Feature, Romantic Drama, Romantic Comedy
Cast: Lillian Gish, Mae Marsh, Robert Harron, Clarine Seymour
Director: D.W. Griffith, Lloyd Ingraham
Synopsis: In 1918-1919, D. W. Griffith turned from spectacles such as The Birth of a Nation, Intolerance and Hearts of the World to smaller films, which he called his "short story series." Among these is TRUE HEART SUZIE. "There are those of us who consider TRUE HEART SUZIE to be Griffith's masterpiece," writes Tom Gunning in his notes for a 2006 screening at the Pordenone Silent Film Festival. He goes on to praise the "narrative structure and point of view, as well as the fine details of performance, framing, and even the use of intertitles that makes a seemingly modest film such as this appear nearly incandescent in its confessional and emotional power." In an almost mythical American arcadia, Lillian Gish portrays a pure, prim girl who so loves her childhood sweetheart (Griffith's most charming boyish hero, Robert Harron) that she sells the family cow to anonymously finance his higher education, only to lose him to a more "modern" woman (Clarine Seymour) when he comes home. Gish's performance is among her best, her face what Gunning calls a "battleground of emotions, staging complete and progressive dramas of realization, recognition and despair."
HOODOO ANN is a light comedy is Griffith-supervised and scripted (using the pseudonym Granville Warwick), although the actual direction is by Lloyd Ingraham. Mae Marsh is paired with Robert Harron; the actors had been often partnered since Biograph days, concurrently were in the modern story of Intolerance and continued to play leads together until Miss Marsh left the company at the end of 1916. Although the plot is a tangle of unlikely coincidence, the performers make it work, and "it is filled with those little touches for which Fine Arts pictures are famous," in the words of an original review.

Personally I don't think that ball links are necessary, since the plastic control horn is flexible enough, the pushrod is flexible enough and if you use a nice thin long CF arm like the ones that bestvaluerc.com sell then even the servo arm is flexible enough. If you take care when assembling to ensure that your pushrods are on the right side of the control horn and the servo arm, and also make sure that your ez connector spins easily and that your control horn hole is large enough for the pushrod to rotate easily without the hole being so large that there is slop, then you're good to go. BTW Put your ez connectors on the inside of all servo arms for the best geometry and use the right holes on your servo arms and control horns to get the right geometry and servo end point adjustment (greater than 100% if possible) then it'll all work very well. If you wish to experiment with ball links, then get some 2mm diameter bolts, washers and nuts from Hobby King as well as their ball links in a suitably small size that matches the size used by EF and 3DHS in their 48" balsa kits. I've used these ball links at times on my balsa planes, particularly to replace faulty ones out of the box! http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idproduct=8855 You could epoxy some CF rods into them or if you find the right metal threaded rods they will screw right in like EF 48" EXP kits; don't use CA glue if you glue CF rods in the holes! Personally I don't think it's worth the hassle. Feel free to post some pics of your setup and we can recommend some changes if necessary to improve their effectiveness. |

Bleary, if you're seeing blowback, it might actually be caused by tightness in the ez connector on the servo arm, the z bend hole on the control horn or the hinge line itself. Make sure all of those are nice and loose. ON one of Nac's planes he was getting poor strength and deflection on his elevator and it turned out to be some CA that was cured with kicker clogging up the hingeline. Once he cleared that he was good to go.[/QUOTE] Thanks for the detailed info GJ,the linkage is fine and works well on the ground,it's just when under some stress (downlines/speed etc),I don't seem to have the same deflection.It's a bit hard to tell,so I will check with the camera. It may well be that my home made servo horn extensions are bending,or even the wire,but I suspect deflection of the EPP is probably the case. Not a major problem and I think a comparison with my MXS with new servos may be interesting(plus I have some CF long arms coming as well) |
Jan 02, 2012, 06:07 AM | ||
Sorry, I was making a quick statement that covers quite a few things. Mount the ez connectors upside down on the servo arms so that the pushrods pass underneath the servo arms. Run the aileron pushrods between the control horn and the servo as this generally gives a better geometry when the servo deflects, but sometime the z bends on the pushrod are so far off being a right angle that it can actually work better with the pushrod on the other side. The idea here is to reduce the stress on the control horn when the servo is close to fully deflected and changes the angle that the pushrod is at relative to the control horn. Try to use the highest hole on the control horn that you can get away with based on the length of your servo arms. Use the closest hole that you can on the servo arms that still allows you to get somewhere over 100% end point travel if you can. Using higher holes on the control horns will give better pushrod geometry but only use a higher hole if your servo arm gives sufficient surface deflection. As a rough guide, using the long CF arms sold by bestvaluerc.com and using the 2nd last hole on those arms, I use the following control horn holes: 2nd hole from the bottom on the ailerons 4th hole from the bottom on the rudder 3rd hole from the bottom on the elevator The rudder easily gets the desired deflection on the 4th hole, the elevator didn't quite deflect far enough on the 4th hole so it is on the 3rd hole and the ailerons needed to be on the 2nd hole to get the desired deflection as when they were on the 3rd hole the plane didn't quite have enough aileron deflection to stop it torque rolling when hovering. |

Groove Jet I 've got a slightly off topic question for you, was wondering if you have any experience with the Hokusei models sold on Best Value RC ? and if you do, how do they compare to the skywing products ?
They look to have a very interesting lineup of models that fly fairly well from the videos on the hokusei website ( I do know that a good pilot can make a bad plane look pretty good...hence the questions) Sorry for going off topic and appreciate any feedback |

loosing one in a tree might be one of few ways to loose this plane, I did some unplanned durability testing again today, nothing special happened, as usual, just bent the gear back into correct position and the fun continued |

Defendant Admits to Driving Drunk when Car Carrying Seven Young People Crashed into River
SELA ANNE KALAMA, 20, of Queets, Washington pleaded guilty yesterday in U.S. District Court in Tacoma to two counts of Involuntary Manslaughter in connection with a March 18, 2007, car accident that claimed two lives. Under the terms of the plea agreement, KALAMA must be sentenced to between 16 and 36 months in prison when sentenced by U.S. District Judge Benjamin Settle on March 7, 2008, otherwise either side can withdraw from the plea agreement.
According to the statement of facts in the plea agreement, KALAMA admits that in the hours before the accident she consumed numerous bottles of beer, most of which were consumed during a party at a house on the Lower Elwha Klallam Indian Reservation. The reservation is outside of Port Angeles in Clallam County, Washington. Shortly after 3:00 a.m., KALAMA drove her car, with six teen-age passengers, off the Lower Elwha Road and into the Elwha River. KALAMA and four of her passengers escaped from the car and swam to shore. Vanna Francis, 16, and Ronnie Scroggins, 15, were not able to get out of the car and drowned in the river.
The plea agreement also details what other witnesses told police. Two of the front seat passengers say that KALAMA was texting on her cell phone before the car crashed into the water. Many of the witnesses report that KALAMA appeared impaired by alcohol at the party, and had been seen consuming multiple beers. KALAMA had even sent one text message about 90 minutes before the car went in the water stating "I'm drunk." When interviewed by police about eight hours after the accident, KALAMA admitted to being impaired at the time of the accident from having consumed a dozen or more beers in the hours leading up to the fatal drive.
The plea agreement also describes the area of the crash, noting that the road was not lit by any streetlights and that there was no moon and a light fog at the time of the accident. The road has trees and brush very close to the edge of the road. The Elwha River was running high, almost up to the level of the road. In addition to driving while intoxicated, the indictment to which KALAMA pleaded guilty alleged that she drove too fast for the conditions of the road that night. KALAMA also admits she had driven that exact same stretch of road earlier in the evening, and had parked within 20 feet of the river's edge. KALAMA had been alerted to the danger at that spot earlier in the evening, when she had heard three teens tell of how they had nearly driven their car into the river a few minutes earlier.
The case was investigated by the FBI, the Clallam County Sheriff's Office, and the Lower Elwha Tribal Police. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Gregory A. Gruber and Roger S. Rogoff.
For additional information please contact Emily Langlie, Public Affairs Officer for the United States Attorney's Office, at (206) 553-4110.

Former CVS/pharmacy chief marketing officer Robert Price has joined Edible Arrangements International as president.
Retail News Breaks Archives
WALLINGFORD, Conn. – Former CVS/pharmacy chief marketing officer Robert Price has joined Edible Arrangements International as president.
Edible Arrangements, a franchisor of shops selling fresh fruit arrangements, said Monday that Price comes to the company as it ramps up product innovation and expansion to boost the brand's global presence.
With more than $500 million in systemwide sales last year, Edible Arrangements operates over 1,100 stores worldwide.
"This is a tremendous opportunity," Price said in a statement. "Edible Arrangements is a company with an impressive record of innovation, dedicated franchisees and world-class technology. I am excited to work with [founder and chief executive officer] Tariq [Farid] and the Edible Arrangements team to help the company reach its full potential."
CVS Caremark Corp. had confirmed in April that Price left the company to pursue other opportunities.
At CVS/pharmacy, Price most recently held the titles of senior vice president and chief marketing officer, overseeing marketing, advertising, sales promotion, e-commerce, customer insights, store design and customer loyalty programs for the drug chain. He had been with CVS since December 2006.
Before CVS, Price held positions with Wawa Food Markets, H-E-B, Imasco (the former parent company of Hardee's and Roy Rogers restaurants), and consulting firm The Monitor Co.

On one of the first nice weekends of the year, Jeff and I made a pilgrimage all the way up north to St. Clair West. We had one thing on our minds: barbeque. And we were headed to the Stockyards, Toronto's newest barbeque joint.
Sitting on a high stool next to the big, beautiful wood bar that overlooks the fryers and the grill, my feet swinging, I happily gobbled up what might possibly be my favorite thing to eat*: pulled pork, topped with slaw, on a bun with a side of homemade fries. The food? Amazing! AMAZING!** Made even better by the glass of cold, homemade limeade I washed it all down with.
Since that night I've pretty much wanted to eat barbeque all the time, but in an effort to be a little more health conscious I've been eating stuff that's been a little less artery clogging . Like baked salmon. Or lentil salad. Or a fish taco.
While this is certainly not "healthy", it does have a cup and a half of sugar in it, I can think of no better way to welcome the arrival of summer in Toronto (both calendar and temperature wise!) than a tall glass of homemade limeade after an afternoon biking on the Lakeshore.
Happy summer!
* Okay, I know I claim that something is "possibly my favorite thing to eat" every other week around here, but that doesn't mean I ain't being serious. When it comes to food, it's so hard to chose, I love it all. Except for capers. Don't bring capers anywhere near me. Ever.
** For a much more articulate review of the Stockyards, I suggest reading Corey Mintz's review from last week's Star.

Washington's Dena Tyson Selected Player of the Week4/24/2007
Oklahoma City, Okla. – The Amateur Softball Association announced today the selection of Washington's Dena Tyson as this week's USA Softball National Collegiate Player of the Week. Tyson blasted four home runs in nine at-bats over three games to extend her home run hitting streak to six games. The senior led the 11th-ranked Washington Huskies to a 2-1 record over the weekend with a .667 average, 2.000 slugging percentage and perfect fielding percentage at first base. She scored five runs and drove in six more of the team's total of 18 runs over the weekend. Tyson led Washington to a seventh-inning come from behind victory against California, hitting a lead-off home run to cut the Golden Bear's lead to 2-1. She then drove in the winning run with an RBI-single in the eighth inning. She followed up that performance with a home run shot against Stanford, drawing two walks in her next two at-bats, with one intentional. "This is such an honor, especially considering the high caliber of athletes playing college softball these days. I never thought I'd received an award like this and I'm really flattered even to have been considered," said Tyson of her first-time honor. "While getting awards and accolades is always nice the best part of this season has been that our team has been playing well and winning ballgames. I just hope our success continues on through the remainder of the Pac-10 season and on into the NCAA Tournament." On Sunday, she wrapped up the weekend with a 2-for-3 performance with two home runs and an intentional walk in Washington's 12-1 six-inning route of Stanford. Tyson has now homered at least once in each of the last six games and has seven home runs total in that span. She now has 16 home runs on the season, tying for ninth on the UW all-time single-season list. This is a great honor, not only for Dena but for our program as a whole. A lot of players put up big numbers on any given weekend but Dena has consistently been doing this for our team week after week," said head coach Heather Tarr. "To receive an award such as this not only does an individual need to play well but her team needs to play well so this is a testament to what our entire team has been able to accomplish. I am so proud of Dena and each of our players. Since the Pac-10 season has started, Tyson has increased her average from .418 to .490. She is leading the team with a .625 (20-for-32) average, including eight home runs with 12 runs scored and 14 RBIs with a 1.375 slugging percentage and .700 on-base percentage. She has also walked eight times, including three intentionally.

I blackened my left eye with a big circle and had on black jeans and a black t-shirt that I had made a huge "P" with glue and sprinkled it with glitter. My husband and I were looking at this very simple costume and thought it was the best.

Unprecedented Commitment to Community Renewal
Commitment to Community Renewal
Washington, D.C. - March 13, 1997 - Leaders of four of the nation's major nonprofit providers and supporters of affordable housing today pledged to create $13 billion worth of housing over the next four years and transform neighborhoods and lives in struggling communities nationwide. They also challenged Congress and the nation to match their commitment.
For the first time, Habitat for Humanity International, Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC), The Enterprise Foundation and the National NeighborWorks® Network have joined together in an unprecedented commitment that recognizes both the quiet revolution that has restored communities once thought beyond repair, and the 10.5 million families still in need of quality shelter. This investment will create nearly 200,000 affordable homes and apartments in urban, suburban and rural communities nationwide and will generate tens of thousands of new jobs.
"We know the potential that exists in our society to make it possible for every person to have a decent place to live," Habitat founder and president Millard Fuller said at a press conference at the National Press Club announcing the commitment. "We experience the potential every day. It is in hundreds of thousands of volunteers who work on Habitat homes; it is in the Habitat homeowner partners who continue to participate long after they complete their sweat equity; it is in the local community Habitat partners – churches and other religious organizations, businesses, city and county leaders and civic groups; and it is in the state, regional and national groups – corporations, foundations, labor unions and other organizations. We are challenging them to contribute more than ever before."
"While the challenge is enormous, one need only look at New York's South Bronx, Cleveland's Hough, Marshall Heights here in Washington, Sandtown/Winchester in Baltimore or Chicago's Near West Side to know that restoration is possible," said LISC president Paul S. Grogan. "Each of these communities, declared dead or dying a decade ago, is coming back. And the elements of continued success are within our reach – citizen initiative, private investment and a helping hand, not a handout, from government."
Habitat, LISC, Enterprise and NeighborWorks®, the nation's leaders in community development, work in 1,940 communities nationwide, and over the past four years have developed 136,600 affordable houses and apartments worth $8.9 billion.
"The unprecedented financial commitment announced today is possible in large part because of corporate America's growing participation as partners – along with philanthropic organizations, government at all levels, national support organizations and community-based nonprofit developers – in the effort to revitalize communities nationwide," said Bart Harvey, chairman and CEO of The Enterprise Foundation. "Finding innovative ways to stretch scarce public dollars is no simple task, but Enterprise and the more than 700 local nonprofits it serves are using those resources to generate real, lasting changes in the lives of hundreds of thousands of people across America."
The $13 billion commitment is projected to generate 193,800 affordable homes and apartments in 2,475 communities. The housing will range from multi-family rental rehabilitation to new construction for-sale single-family homes, and willbe developed in rural farm towns and dense urban inner cities.
These four organizations are inviting individuals, corporate leaders, philanthropic institutions and others to continue and expand their support of affordable housing. They also called upon Congress to preserve and expand programs that have stimulated private investment. Such programs include the Low Income Housing Tax Credit, Community Development Block Grants, the Community Reinvestment Act, the Earned Income Tax Credit, Rural Homeownership, HOME and the Housing Opportunity Program.
"Community-based development is truly a grassroots movement of the people," Fuller said. "It is not government, although government is important. It is the partnerships with the public, private and nonprofit sectors working together that has brought us this far. I am convinced that these committed partners will now respond to new opportunities and that we must do even more than ever at this juncture. I am convinced we must and we will together answer the challenge. We celebrate what we have done thus far; we commit to even greater efforts in the months and years ahead."

Bengals vs. Steelers
Bengals vs. Steelers
http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/gamecen...090927_PIT@CIN Two missed fourth-quarter field-goal attempts by Jeff Reed led to the Pittsburgh Steelers' first loss. Reed hasn't been needed for much clutch kicking in recent years against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers look to win their ninth straight at Cincinnati as they face the Bengals in the teams' AFC North opener Sunday. One of the most reliable kickers in NFL history, Reed missed twice in the final quarter of Pittsburgh's 17-14 defeat at Chicago last Sunday. He missed from 38 yards away - a kick that would have given the Steelers a 17-7 lead - after going 39 for 40 inside 40 yards last season. Reed's second miss, from 43 yards, would have put the Steelers (1-1) up by three with 3:18 remaining. Instead, Robbie Gould's 44-yard kick with 15 seconds left gave the Bears the victory. Pittsburgh hasn't had to rely on Reed very much against the Bengals (1-1), winning by an average of 14.0 points during an eight-game winning streak at Cincinnati. That run includes a 31-17 victory in a wild-card matchup Jan. 8, 2006. Cincinnati has lost five straight overall against Pittsburgh, scoring 10 points in each of the last three contests. Reed did force overtime with a field goal in the fourth quarter of a 23-17 road win Dec. 31, 2006. After last week's disheartening loss, Pittsburgh should certainly be motivated for its first AFC North game. "We go in there knowing it's a division rival and it's the first step in the road," Steelers offensive tackle Max Starks told the team's official Web site. "The biggest thing for us is knowing it's a division opponent and just being ready to play and knowing it's going to be a nasty tough game. "It's a war of wills when you walk into that stadium. As soon as one team breaks the other one usually the game is over." Pittsburgh will be without All-Pro safety Troy Polamalu (knee) for the second straight game. Tyrone Carter, who replaced Polamalu against the Bears, is expected to play despite a bruised left thigh. The Steelers will need to be sharp in the secondary against the Bengals' Carson Palmer, who has been helped by the emergence of a strong running game. Cedric Benson ran for 141 yards in Cincinnati's 31-24 victory at Green Bay last Sunday. The Bengals are 4-0 when getting at least 100 yards from Benson, who has gone from a bust in Chicago to a key part of Cincinnati's plans offensively. Benson came off as immature in three seasons with the Bears, expecting to play early even though Thomas Jones was entrenched as the starter, and his behavior agitated many veterans. Palmer, though, admires the way he goes all-out in practice and has become such an important part of the team in less than a year. "His will and his drive is something we feed off offensively," Palmer said. Benson was on his way to a 100-yard game in the opener against Denver on Sept. 13, gaining 55 by halftime. Cincinnati, however, gave him the ball six times in the second half and lost 12-7, as the Broncos got a tipped, 87-yard TD catch from Brandon Stokley in the closing seconds. "The Bengals should be 2-0 right now," Steelers linebacker LaMarr Woodley. "When you go back and watch highlights of the Denver game, they had the game won." Cincinnati failed to score against Denver until a 1-yard TD run from Benson with 38 seconds remaining. The Bengals stuck with Benson in the second half versus the Packers and used play action to take advantage of safeties who were more worried about the run. Palmer had three TD passes last week, one of them a 13-yarder to Chad Ochocinco in the third quarter. However, he has a career 78.4 passer rating in eight games against the Steelers, losing six. Palmer missed Cincinnati's two games against Pittsburgh last season due to an elbow injury. Ben Roethlisberger threw for three TDs without getting picked off in those contests. Roethlisberger had a TD pass and ran for a score in the Steelers' 27-10 home win Nov. 20, the teams' last meeting. Copyright 2009 by STATS LLC and The Associated Press.

Benson is getting ready to play a solid front of the Pittsburgh Steelers. We have kept Johnson of the Titans and Forte of the Bears in check this year. I see no reason why we can't keep Benson in check as well.

I am not worried about Cedric Benson at all.............Carson Palmer and the passing game, just a bit.

Yup, except more than a bit about Palmer. I'm afraid he got his groove back against GB and just in time for a game with out Polamalu.

I am very pleased with this product. It is a shame that they include such a terrible powder applicator, but I just use a brush to apply it over the TLC foundation and it is wonderful. Good coverage without looking caked on. The shade works well for my very fair skin.

I'm on the fence about this product; as a MAC powder/foundation girl I recently started using this powder because I'm on maternity leave and I wasn't going to pay $30+ per compact when the most exciting thing I do is shopping at this point ;). So I decided to try the Almay TLC powder. THe first day I used it I was horrified--it went on horribly--BUT I have to admit I was quite spoiled by the MAC products. I have kept using the TLC powder and it's alright--not the best, but not the worst thing I've ever used. I find I need to put it on, and then go over it again with an empty sponge to get it on ok. I still use it--so it must be ok! All in all, it's an ok product--No MAC, but it's okay to use as a cheaper substitute.

This is more like a powder foundation. I have been using it over my sunscreen for the past week and I'm pleased with the results. The coverage is medium for a pressed powder. Pros: It's not chalky or cakey feeling. It just evens out my skin tone and pores a bit without masking. You can still see my freckles. It doesn't look like I'm wearing makeup. Comes with a mirror and separate compartment for the sponge. I don't have any active pimples so I can't comment on coverage for acne.
Cons: I have extremely oily skin - it doesn't seem to control oil very well. It's only available in 3 colors. I have yellow undertones so the medium color I chose is not an exact match. I'll have to try the light next. It was around $12 which seems rather high for a DS product.
So far it's the best "powder foundation" I have tried. Previously used CG Simply powder and Maybelline's as well.

One word: Hyperallergnic. This word is a Godsend to me because I have the WORST allergies, and I have eczema. Debating whether or not I should buy this pressed powder or maybellines I decided to buy both. To be perfectly honest, I have been using the maybelline pressed lately, but from the days that I have used this pressed powder, it seems to be doing its job. I am completely happy with this purchase and sometimes, I layer my powders. So first I put the Maybelline powder on (lightly) and to finish I add Almays on top. Just a quick swipe over my face and I'm ready to go! When I start using this one more I will update you!

I use this pressed powder in "Light" over my ALmay TLC foundation (I use Ivory &Buff mixed). The "Light" shade is perfect, it's more of a translucent powder (when applied using a fluffy brush), but then again, it's not a powder foundation, but just a regular pressed powder. But has enough color to even out any remaining redness, while preserving the beautiful natural matte finish of it's foundation counterpart. One of the few powders that doesn't go on chalky, and doesn't cake up after touch-ups (I have a very oily t-zone and have to blot throughout the day, so this is important to me). Just like the foundation, this powder helps keep oil at bay well, without drying out the skin. No oxidation either. This also has SPF12 (2% Octinoxate) , which is rare for a pressed powder. Normally, chemical SPF's break me out, but so far no breakouts. Will update if anything changes, but so far I love this for setting my TLC foundation, and for touch-ups!

I don't know if this made me break out, or something else I used, hmm. But anyways I liked it generally. I didn't know you were suppose to use a brush to apply powder foundation, pressed powder, :o. So I was in a rush used their pathetic sponge, haha, it was fine, but I know a real make up brush will work 10x better! I like it though, it did cover up and stayed on. :D As for rubbing off I didn't test that yet! It is a good one though! I opted for buying the "acne" prone one because I saw reviews that said the liquid made you dry, patchy etc. So last minute thought of a pressed foundation I just picked this, good foundation though. I just think their may be better out there.

I did NOT like this powder. Maybe mineral powder has spoiled me for regular powder, but I hated this. It went on chalky and terrible looking and made my skin feel dry. I could feel it just sitting on top of my skin and when I touched my face it felt dusty and the powder just rubbed off on my fingers. It makes my pores really visible. The applicator that comes with it is useless. The only good thing I have to say about it is that the packaging is kind of nice. A total waste of money.

Photography in the blink of an eye?
Anyone over a certain age's first contact with photography will be like mine, brittle snaps kept under a sheets of plastic, carefully arranged in bulky books kept out of reach of your grubby child's fingers. Or maybe going to the developers after waiting two weeks to be given a shiny paper wallet, eager to find out which ones had turned out and which were blurred messes with a little sticker on them. the point is photography was limited, something that you had to wait for, and when you got it its successes were treated with reverence, physical objects to be kept in books or displayed in frames.
In less than ten years the technology has changed so much, with the ability to take a thousand shots and see the results instantly, everybody and anybody has become almost chronic documentors of their own lives, photographs still have some value but rarely are they treated with the same reverence. Often dumped onto hard drives or put up on photo sharing sites to be dismissively 'liked' or commented on. But photographers still found a trade, photography attracting people who are interested in the specialised technology and process meant that even when that technology changed most were able to keep up with and revel in those changes. And there is always a market for people who have a unique vision, people who can take that vision and share it with the world.
Then people started being able to take photos with their phones, little devices that they carried with them constantly and instantly share them with whoever they like in seconds. And with these devices came selections of filters and graphics they could add to those pictures, even the most casual of user adding the word 'photographer' to their resume, normally along with 'blogger' 'artist' and 'hacky sack player'. But are these people photographers, do they and the millions of poorly framed, soft focus, pictures of their lunch actually devalue 'real' photography? what is 'real photography' anyway?
Some would argue, whether you like it or not they are ALL photographers, and the real questions whether they are good photographers or bad ones. Millions of bad or average photographs means that the nuance between good and great photographers is becoming smaller and smaller. and probably it is here that 'real' photographers live.

Class 6(66)
Napalm Death: From enslavement to obliteration
29/11/11 || Habakuk
One good thing about reviewing Class666 bands is that many of them don't need a lengthy introduction.
"- Oi chummer, you know this super obscure band from Birmingham? They're called Napalm Death and invented grindcore!"
"- This is that new scene music?! I could lose my eardrums listening to this. Who the hell dripped this lot of nonsense out? Pull the chain on this one. How many people listen to this and… enjoy? Oh you've got to be joking."
Nailbomb quotes aside, this shit has been around for more than 20 years now and if you don't know it yet, get off your ass and buy – for example – this album. It is a damn good example though, and here comes why:
At times there's hardly any progression from "Scum" in terms of how the songs work. So, there are a lot of short, fast, intransparent blocks of noise with grunted syllables spat towards the listener on top of them. However, when comparing the two albums as a whole, there is a noticeable reduction in redundancy, which can only be attributed to the band getting, well, better. This is even more clear in the (to me) shining moments of the disc where the simplistic riffing in the vein of "Siege of power" is put in the spotlight, driving the song onward with pure, unstoppable, filthy hatred. Find me a better intro riff than the ones to "Unchallenged Hate" and "From Enslavement to Obliteration" and there will be cake. That, combined with the otherwise almost endless barrage of <1 minute noise assaults with the odd killer passage woven in ("Display to me", "Mentally murdered") makes this album noteworthy despite its genre-creating predecessor. So, while "Scum" is the somewhat official foundation of the genre, "FETO" marks its definition. Technically, grind could pretty much have ended after this. Breaking news: It didn't. Just for the haters to go on hatin' and for the rest to enjoy everything from Repulsion to Insect Warfare. 9
While it's obviously still very lo-fi, the production has moved away slightly from the scraping sound of the debut, with a bit of grit trimmed off the guitars' edges, less fuzz surfacing from Shane Embury's four-string (don't worry, it's still there), and a little bit more punch to the drums. It works very much in favor of the few more memorable, riff-focused songs, while blurring the punkish outbursts as well as the rank and file grind numbers a bit, which gives those a bit less personality than on "Scum". If you are here for the sound, however, don't even bother picking one of those two albums, but get the fantastic Peel Sessions on Grind Madness at the BBC. Early Napalm Death really doesn't get better than that. 6
The presence of absolutely epic riffs I have already mentioned, so what else is there to say about Bill Steer's performance? Well, we could say he definitely didn't put the well-being of his instrument before the music. Constant, fast-paced, violent hardcore punk rooted three-note riffwork fills the album from start to finish. Compromise there is not, and much to dissect there isn't either. Take my word for it, it works like a charm. 8.5
Vocals Lee Dorrian had a bad-ass growl for this kind of music, and his gargling high-pitched screams are also something that needs to be experienced. At times his bark is so powerful it seems he's got the microphone in his mouth, and he didn't shy away from simply trashing a few syllables in order to keep the grindsauce flowing – but yes, with the booklet in hand and a bit of fantasy to fill these holes, you can actually make out some lyrics. Also, Mick Harris screams "yeeeeeeees" in the background at the end of "Retreat to nowhere". I thought you should know. 8.5
There are low frequencies and a buzzing drone somewhere in the background. That's your bass. It does what bass does. Fuzz lovers go for "Scum" or "Horrified" instead. 6
Two words: Mick Fucken Harris. This guy has got to be one of my all-time fave drummers, just because of his playing intensity and personal style. You simply have to love his spastic alternating hi-hat / crash blast (and believe me it's put to good use here) or the trademark delayed last snare hit in slow patterns (check "Unchallenged Hate", right at 0:13). What's new on "FETO" in comparison to the debut are a few bits and pieces that were merely hinted at on "Scum", and those are the more thought-out deviations from the standard blast / slow formula – Such as the brilliant double snare hit pattern that beats "Display to me…" forward, or the awesome use of double bass during the break in "Mentally murdered" – it really shows that this is one-of-a-kind of playing. Listen to any re-recording of this song and it simply isn't the same. The guy was one of the innovators of grind drumming, and to me, though far from tight, he's pretty much unmatched until today. 10
Once you've accepted the fact that you can't understand shit, you'll eventually go ahead and read the fucken booklet. What happens then can be puzzling but possibly an eye-opener of sorts – I mean, why would they even bother about lyrics at all if they are rendered absolutely incomprehensible by their delivery? I think the lyrical direction of the radically anti-establishment texts provides an answer to this: a) putting the question of how it sounds above comprehensibility further strengthens the whole "point" of the early grind band Napalm Death, which in my book is exploring the musical path to total defiance of everything "socially accepted". This reflects in the lyrics as well. b) it exposes the band's punk roots and shoes how even through the process of defying musical rules, the interest to deliver a plethora of messages (green, feminist, anarchist, pacifist, anti-anything corporate, you name it) has prevailed. And if you are not interested in all these theoretical bendings, this sentence is for you: the lyrics are strongly leftist, cynical, to the point and well-written. 9
Cover art
In the vein of "Scum", with more corpses, but less skulls and corporations. And the dude in the middle looks like some 80s TV show host desperate about his forthcoming commercial demise. It's kind of typical for the style, but there's nothing wrong with it either, except for not looking too cool. 6
I must admit I never really liked this one. 4
5. It's got thank yous and lyrics, except for a the last few songs that are listed without them, for no apparent reason. That and a few band member pics, including one of Shane Embury at the age of 17 or something, and one of Mick Harris with his tongue out, which saves this from getting mere 5 points. 6
Overall and ending rant
If you like grind, there is no way around having this disc in your collection, although I give you that the "Peel Session" recordings of these songs sound better, as said before somewhere. Nothing beats the combination of BBC studio money and one-take recordings. Still, without straying much from the landmark album "Scum", but solid progression, there is nothing that anyone with an interest in the genre could be deterred by on "FETO". Curiously enough, this is actually Napalm Death's last grind album – still, they kept their reputation of being "the" grind band until today, 23 years after its release. This should tell you enough about just how awesome this is.

MI Vs CSK
- 8 wickets victory for Mumbai Indians in opening match of IPL 2012
- Defending Champions Chennai Super Kings Crushed at 112
- Ambatti Rayudu of MI set the tone
- Opening batsman of MI, Richard Levy took 50 runs off 35 balls, became man of the match
- Sachin Tendulkar injured on left hand
The grass on the re-laid pitch made it a bad day for holders Chennai Super Kings who had a crushing defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians in the opening match of IPL season V held at M A Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai. The strong and blasting top-order of CSK was pushed to the back by the bowlers of MI. The Mumbai Indians put a well disciplined bowling and their fielding was also very strong. Harbhagan Singh of Mumbai Indians proved himself as an able captain. He kept all his fielders pressurizing the batsmen of the opposing team. But for the 36 runs score by Suresh Raina, there was not much output from the CSK team members. The opening batsman of CSK, Faf du Plessis run out after the second ball by a direct hit from Ambatti Rayudu of MI. Murali Vijay of CSK was out after a catch by Harbhagan Singh off Franklin. Lasith Malinga of MI put a highly impressive bowling performance and claimed to important wickets of CSK – Ravindra Jadeja and D. Bollinger.
The left-arm paceman of CSK Doug Bollinger dismissed Rohit Sharma of MI with a short pitched delivery. He made Sachin Tendulkar of MI to retire hurt after hitting on the glove with a lifting ball. Ambati Rayudu and James Franklin finished the match in favor of Mumbai Indians. A six from Rayudu confirmed the triumph of Mumbai Indians. A swift ball from Abu Nechim of Mumbai Indians to wicket keeper Dinesh Karthik made captain of CSK, M S Dhoni run out.
The 24-year old South African batsman Richard Levi took 50 runs off 35 balls in his first debut of IPL. Richard Levi was declared man of the match.

Red Bull may be riding high in both championships, having scored every pole position plus three victories from the opening six rounds of 2010, but McLarens Jonathan Neale is certain their advantage wont last the entire season. And during a Vodafone McLaren Mercedes 'Phone-In' session, Neale revealed he believes his team could close the gap to the frontrunners very soon.
Lets suppose Red Bull are maybe 0.8 second or a second ahead at some circuits, began the McLaren managing director. Based on our own experience, we know that we closed a 2.5 second-a-lap gap between the start of the season and Hungary last year. So weve demonstrated that kind of gradient is doable. They have a quick car so now its just up to the rest of us to get the job done.
I suspect that they wont have that advantage all season. I think they are eminently catchable and we fully intend to do that. Its all still to play for. At the moment Red Bull have the upper hand, but Im confident that wont be the case by the middle of the season.
Although clearly optimistic McLaren have what it takes to catch the championship leaders, Neale admitted that the British team still have their work cut out to improve their cars qualifying pace, which in turn will enable drivers Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to make more of an impression on the results.
I dont think weve given Jenson or Lewis, a car that can put them at the front of the grid yet, he said. Theyve got their work cut out. Both are working really well, and in terms of the car both leave nothing on the circuit. The obligation is now on us as a team to give them a car to get the job done, not for the drivers themselves to look at what they need to do next.
Neale freely acknowledged the team has lost out on points over the last few races because of procedural errors. From Hamiltons DNF in Spain to the mistake in Monaco that saw Button retire after he was despatched with a foam bung left in one of his cars sidepods, McLaren - like their rivals - know they must prevent similar issues in future.
Formula One is not at all tolerant and nor should it be," he explained. "We came out of China on a high and then we dropped points in the last two races and, when its as tight as it is in the championship, you cant afford to make those kinds of mistakes. You need to eliminate those from the game, like everyone else
I think Red Bull would say the same thing. If you look at the potential of that car, and the points that they didnt score, Im sure they have their own frustrations.
While admitting it is something of a relief to know Red Bull have similar concerns, Neale is hopeful that McLarens experienced driver line-up will ultimately pave the way to rapid development progress.
Although there are plenty of differences in their driving styles, the similarities between Button and Hamilton are such that they free the engineering department to focus on specific areas rather than spreading themselves too thinly to suit each individuals needs. This, Neale believes, could be important as the title battle hots up.
Jenson and Lewis have slightly different preferences for braking, but youre into a second order of magnitude, compared to fundamentals like suspension, wheelbase etc, he concluded. So were very happy that having these drivers doesnt mean the chief engineer has to open up two or three development paths, which sap the organisation of energy.
It means we can then focus on getting more downforce and getting more out of the tyres on to the car, which is essentially where we are going to close the gap to Red Bull. That and being operationally more effective.
McLaren, currently third in the standings on 129 points to Red Bulls 156, will be back in action at this weekends Turkish Grand Prix.

I seriously just made an account for this because I looked for this anime and could never find it!!!
It's an anime about a yellow male tabby cat who (kinda like garfield but no talking) lazes around the house and causes havoc for the owners and has his little adventures and he lives in an apartment complex with a husband and wife(I think).
I'm pretty sure it's from japan but it might be from china.
It's a comedy and pretty good story in my opinion.
So please help me find it >_<;; I'd love to watch that again!
