I remember taking the photo of what I titled the "Cross at Ground Zero" while in New York back in 2004. The photo has been licensed to many online outlets across the web. During a time when Americans needed answers, strength, and encouragement from above, the Cross at Ground Zero represented many things to a lot of different people.
Unfortunately now, there is a group, The American Atheists, who are suing to the City of New York and New Jersey, along with New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie for allowing the cross to be displayed. Although I don't agree with their actions, I do respect peoples' freedom to believe in whatever they want. Just don't understand why they're are doing this after all these years? Anyway, here's the full article from CNN below:
A group of atheists has filed a lawsuit to stop the display of the World Trade Center cross at a memorial of the 9/11 terror attacks.
The "government enshrinement of the cross was an impermissible mingling of church and state," the American Atheists say in a press statement. The group says it filed the lawsuit this week in state court in New York and posted a copy of the lawsuit on its website.
The lawsuit names many defendants, including the state of New Jersey, the city of New York , New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie.
The World Trade Center cross, two intersecting steel beams that held up when the twin towers collapsed on September 11, 2001, is seen as iconic to some.
The cross was moved Saturday from near a church to its new home at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. There was also ceremonial blessing of the cross in a service led by Father Brian Jordan, a Franciscan monk who ministered to workers clearing the area after the 9/11 attacks.
Joe Daniels, 9/11 Memorial president, said Saturday that the cross is "an important part of our commitment to bring back the authentic physical reminders that tell the history of 9/11 in a way nothing else could.
"Its return is a symbol of the progress on the Memorial & Museum that we feel rather than see, reminding us that commemoration is at the heart of our mission."
But the atheist group says the cross sends a symbol of something different.
"The WTC cross has become a Christian icon," said Dave Silverman, president of the atheist group. "It has been blessed by so-called holy men and presented as a reminder that their god, who couldn't be bothered to stop the Muslim terrorists or prevent 3,000 people from being killed in his name, cared only enough to bestow upon us some rubble that resembles a cross. It's a truly ridiculous assertion."

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip and it is well worth travelling to Piahia to do so. We even got to see dolphins! Fantastic!
What a ball! this was a definite highlight of our trip, the scenery is just amazing, the time just flew, will definitely be on the to do list on our next visit to NZ, but perhaps for a longer trip, enjoy
This trip is one of the most amazing scenic journeys I done in my life. Visiting Fox Glacier terminal itself is beautiful but the helicopter ride to the mountain top gives you a spectacular views which un-fortunately can't see from the bottom.

Fox host Bill O'Reilly knows a thing or two about boundaries.
As he told his TV audience Monday night, some "far-left" radicals crossed the line on the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote a blog post about how some Republican politicians turned the attacks into a "wedge issue," and referred to George W. Bush and Rudolph Giuliani as "fake heroes."
O'Reilly's reaction: Krugman is "insulting his country on the anniversary of 9/11. That is truly despicable."
O'Reilly had a little left in tank, so he went after former Times reporter Chris Hedges for writing this:
Our brutality and triumphalism, the byproducts of nationalism and our infantile pride, revived the jihadist movement…. We descended to its barbarity. We became terrorists, too.
O'Reilly got down to his point:
The reason I am even pointing out the rantings of these far-left loons is that some of their more moderate confederates do not condemn the statements. I mean, the New York Times actually pays Krugman to spout this stuff. Yeah, we have freedom of speech, but there's also a responsibility in the journalistic and political communities, is there not?
Sure, let's talk about media figures using responsible rhetoric. Let's start with Bill O'Reilly's call for brutal attacks on a number of countries right after 9/11:
Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, the channel's most popular host, declared on his September 17 broadcast that if the Afghan government did not extradite Osama bin Laden to the U.S., "the U.S. should bomb the Afghan infrastructure to rubble–the airport, the power plants, their water facilities and the roads." O'Reilly went on to say:
This is a very primitive country. And taking out their ability to exist day to day will not be hard. Remember, the people of any country are ultimately responsible for the government they have. The Germans were responsible for Hitler. The Afghans are responsible for the Taliban. We should not target civilians. But if they don't rise up against this criminal government, they starve, period.
O'Reilly added that in Iraq, "their infrastructure must be destroyed and the population made to endure yet another round of intense pain…. Maybe then the people there will finally overthrow Saddam." If Libya's Moammar Gadhafi does not relinquish power and go into exile, "we bomb his oil facilities, all of them. And we mine the harbor in Tripoli. Nothing goes in, nothing goes out. We also destroy all the airports in Libya. Let them eat sand."
Lucky for O'Reilly, there are few sanctions in corporate media–at Fox or anywhere else–for that kind of bloodthirsty rhetoric.

Tim Leunig's report for Policy Exchange makes a very clear, balanced and fully argued case for Heathrow West after considering all the alternatives and examining fully whether there is a need for a hub airport in London. I would suggest that before jumping in people should read this 70 page report:
Thank you
If someone out there could also consider using the world's most advanced surface transport technology to benefit the airports in London...
The NASA co-developed SkyTran can link Heathrow with Stansted and Gatwick with less than 30 minutes travel time. It can also substitute short haul flights all the way up to Edinburgh and Glasgow. It is a low cost, but high performance 150 miles per hour transit system that enables all seated direct non-stop travel.
Britain may not be China, but if anywhere in the UK is like China then it is London, so I think the Hong Kong model is appropriate but the estuary airport in the wrong place and is too far. I think the Economist is on the right track when they suggest expanding to the west. But expanding LHR will make the place even more unwieldy and and unpleasant and it doesn't resolve the noise problem. Far better to start again. My solution: build *over* Windsor park. You could build a massive new airport with fabulous transport links and only 1 family would need to be evicted. In fact Windsor Castle could be left in place, the park is to the south.
It's vital for the UK.
Sadly the UK is a bit like China in the sense that it is very hard to evict even just one family, if that family is sufficiently well-connected.
And the family you are talking about is VERY well-connected...
I suspect that stupid short sighted NIMBYs will slowly constrict the thriving UK airport business as they have house building in the so called green belt.
Has someone at The Economist been too well wined and dined by PR folk from Heathrow?
Gatwick is better connected to the rail netwok than Heathrow - through trains to central London, including St Pancras International. And guaranteed connections to the north of England and Scotland in a few years, once Thameslink is complete.
Gatwick and Stanstead are both much safer airports, with take off and landing over open countryside rather than over densely populated parts of west London.
Then let's look at Boris Island, with an eventual plan to close Heathrow - a planning mistake from the outset.
Of course an airport east of London might have some merit but is unrealistic for a lot more reasons, and at least two proposals have already been rejected over the decades.
Of course LHR has to close if a replacement is to be built. At last we see some sense about the location. I think some sort of Oxford South location (or something centred on the existing airport at Oxford) would be a well-located alternative if Heathrow West runs into great difficulties.
A small-footprint VTOL airport is an interesting idea and maybe something for the future. But we already have point-to-point airports in the London region, e.g. London City.
Alternative technological game changer:
The Americans have perfected a Vertical Takeoff Military Transport called the Osprey.
And it has obvious commercial applications.
Small postage stamp-sized airports can be located in city centers. They may be a small as 4-5 acres, resembling more an aircraft carrier deck than large runway.
Flights take off vertically like a helicopter.
And then switch to an aeroplane with range up to 100-400 miles filling the crucial short distance commuter market.
A London flight could reach Paris, Edinburgh, Amsterdam or Brussels.
And land on heliports and building tops in central city.
These can reduce the commuter and short range passenger traffic at Heathrow and Gatwick dramatically.
And allow the big airports to concentrate on wide body international transoceanic flights.
VTOL and Heliports may be a technological game changer in transportation.
And allow many more smaller, efficient commuter airports IN downtown.
VTOL - both the Osprey you've mentioned as well as your own Harrier - have both been around for decades. The technology is therefore hardly new.
There is a reason that VTOL has not been taken up in commercial use. Quite simply, it is uneconomic.
The Ospray has been one of the US Military's greatest blunders. The plane has killed more Marines than Al Qaida, and the only reason it's still on production is because its assembly and parts manufacture is spread over so many congressional districts. The F35 is years behind schedule because they just haven't been able to get the VTOL variant to work right. If your only alternative to a busy, noisy Heathrow (an absolutely dreadful airport, might I add) is a new one with. Short runways for VTOL planes, then you've got a long time to wait.
VTOL and Heliports have been the "next big thing" in commercial air transport since the 1940s, so it's hardly a new idea. And from 100-400 miles, high speed train will probably do the trick, not least with regard to comfort and being able to work (if you want) while travelling.
Alright, at the risk of appearing naive, I'll offer up an option which I suspect has not been considered. And this would be to concentrate on the 'hub' aspect as opposed to its value as a destination. And the modus operandi for this would be relatively simple: reduce hub demand by either adding a significant premium to inter-lining to a connecting flight, or to ban such inter-lining altogether if the connecting flight were not to a domestic UK final destination.
Based on my own wretched experiences of Heathrow, whilst either living in Europe or back home here in Canada, I have 'voted with my feet' and do not permit any en route connections through Heathrow. As at least one member of the travelling public, I suspect many others have done the same, and many more would appreciate not being shoe-horned through this hub.
As for the loss of economic benefits of the hub? Surely this is not the case when The Economist makes statements such as "operating beyond all sensible limits to its capacity". And expansion is bogged down in a complete quagmire, generating decades' worth of commissions, commentary and angst. Move on, Britain.
"...but passengers and airlines prefer Heathrow because of its many flight connections and better links to central London" is an outrageous statement! Very many passengers arrive from all over south east England and use Heathrow because that's the only way to reach their destination, i.e. it's the airline's choice, not the customer's.
They suffer the congested roads and expensive and inconvenient car parking because public transport is not suited to those travelling with luggage. I would think that many, like me, detest and loathe Heathrow as the epitome of all that makes flying today such an ordeal.
What would help are some different ideas, like being able to check luggage in elsewhere prior to a flight, perhaps selected railway stations; or maybe London-peripheral car parks with check-in facilities and fast inter-airport links.
To expand Heathrow without addressing the fundamental problems of accessibility would be crazy.
Aah. I perhaps should have read your commentary first, before posting my own. We are complementary. See the (above) suggestion on inter-lining.
The more the merrier! Perhaps then our airport infrastructure won't be developed for the sole benefit of business travellers who live in London and foreign tourists.
That statement was written by someone who's never had to commute along the M4 - Europe's most congested motorway. Heathrow is a nightmare to get in and out of, I always prefer to fly via Gatwick if the option is there. The car parking is a ripoff (and the spaces were designed in the 50s to fit a Ford Anglia). And the Piccadilly line doesn't start running early enough to get you from central London to to a 7.30am flight at Heathrow.
And the "hub" status is overrated. It takes almost an hour to transit from Heathrow terminal 1 to terminal 5. A good cabbie can get you from Heathrow to Gatwick in less.
In any case the threat to Heathrow's hub status is through the misallocation of landing rights. The incumbent carriers have a monopoly position which they use to lock out new entrants. So you can fly a half empty BA flight from Heathrow to Glasgow , but there's no service to emerging cities in China.
I think what Londoners instinctively understand, is that the world moves on. Battersea power station no longer supplies our electricity, the East London docks are no longer a port, Covent Garden is no longer a food market and one day, hopefully, Heathrow will no longer be an airport.
At least we don't have to deal with the TSA
Heathrow is congested has poor rail and road links. Most people don't want to travel if they go via Heathrow but have no choice.
Klm are now using Kent airport to transfer passengers at Amsterdam for international flights, so that people can avoid Heathrow and the flights are cheaper!
We should be building new airports to make easy access to our island, before the business leaves ?
check in facilites elsewhere is the most ridiculous idea ive heard, possibly ever, how exactly would that be more convienient. considering there are so many different ways to get to an airport. how would the airport then get these bags to the airport. its hard enough for them not to lose peoples bags without adding many extra steps in the proccess. and imsorry but as an avid travller, if you have that much luggage that you cant carry it on londons public tanspot( which is amazing to anyone who has lived in australia) then you are carrying far too much stuff. and if its that bad. the black cabs are the best service of its kind anywhere.

if it's the most ridiculous idea you've heard, then steer clear of Switzerland where you've been able to do that for years. And somehow I deduce you're young enough to be fit and mobile but do not travel with young families.
And Heathrow serves an area much larger than black cab land.

Why is it that no one complains about the oppressive din of automobiles?

PHOENIX -- Less than two hours after the U.S. Supreme Court released its ruling on Arizona's controversial immigration law, SB 1070, Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne and Maricopa County Sheriff's Joe Arpaio were in 3TV's studio to discuss the court's opinion and what it means for our state.
"I did support 1070," Arpaio said. "I think that's a good ruling for law enforcement. It shows that in this state we do the right thing."
Horne agreed.
"We won the big one," he said, calling the three provisions the Supreme Court struck down "minor."
"Now police officers throughout the state will be required -- if they have reasonable suspicion -- to check with ICE [to determine] whether someone is here legally or not," Horne explained. "ICE is required to respond under a federal statue."
What constitute "reasonable suspicion" has not been determined and that's what has many people concerned about the possibility of racial profiling.

Wiggle, sit or lie to beat fainting
PUBLISHED: 11 Jul 2012 00:02:00 | UPDATED: 12 Jul 2012 00:08:27PUBLISHED: 11 Jul 2012 PRINT EDITION: 11 Jul 2012GetUp national director Simon Sheikh sought medical attention after fainting on national TV, left. Medical checks are a good idea, as they can rule out potentially sinister underlying causes, such as epilepsy, a stroke, heart problems or the side effect of a drug. Photo: ABC

By wiggling their toes in their boots, soldiers who stand on parade for prolonged periods can often prevent themselves from fainting.
Another trick soldiers are taught is to intermittently contract the muscles in their calves, thighs or buttocks.
While appearing to stand stock still, these hidden manoeuvres activate the muscle pump and ensure enough blood is returning to the heart and into the brain.
Inadequate flow of blood to the brain is the chief reason people faint. Various factors can cause this inadequacy and until it is corrected, the brain simply won't co-operate.
The collapse caused by the faint brings a postural change that, in turn, directs sufficient blood to the brain.
If a man has a common or garden faint, he will recover consciousness in less than a minute but feel washed out. Even though some men bounce back quickly, that is often not the end of it.
Medical investigations usually follow to eliminate potentially sinister reasons for the faint, such as epilepsy, a stroke, heart problem or a drug side effect.
When young men collapse after too many drinks in a stuffy environment, the cause is easier to determine than when older men suddenly give way.
Melbourne consultant cardiologist Gautam Vaddadi specialises in fainting,medically known as syncope. He says 30 per cent of people have no idea when a faint is evolving.
The other 70 per cent report having warning signs and, if they are alert to them, they may be able to avoid fainting.
"The fainting reflex is hardwired into us all. We think of it as a neurologic and cardiovascular reflex which we don't fully understand, but which we know can be triggered by various factors."
Emotional events can be a trigger, as can the sight of blood, a coughing fit, being upright and still for too long and, in older men, simply standing to urinate.
The trigger sets off the reflex by causing an abrupt drop in blood pressure and sometimes in heart rate too. When lying down, Vaddadi says there is no gravitational stress on our circulation and blood pressure. But if we stand for prolonged periods we may get pooling of blood in the veins of the legs. If we sit too long, it may pool in the pelvis.
"We can lose 750 millilitres of our available circulating blood volume into these veins, making it unavailable to the heart to pump out to the rest of the body. Essentially we are creating stress by reducing this available volume – it's a little analogous to getting dehydrated – so the body compensates by sending signals through the nervous system that cause an increase in heart rate and increase in tone and tightening of blood vessels.
"This is to try and increase blood pressure so we can maintain the pressure required to send blood up through the arteries (and) ultimately into the brain. If the body can't compensate, the reflex gets triggered and a faint evolves."
He says the classic warning signs include feeling light headed, nauseous, clammy, seeing spots or having bleary vision and experiencing a sense of rising heat.
If military techniques don't work, he suggests sitting or lying down as quickly as possible. He cautions against attempting to hobble to a more suitable place.
Vaughan Macefield, professor of Integrative Physiology at the University of Western Sydney, and a research fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia, says the telltale signs of an impending faint are sweating on the brow and the skin going white.
"If you were measuring blood pressure at that moment, you may notice it is falling ever so slowly and then suddenly plummets." Following that, the heart rate slows and the person collapses.
As blood is mostly water, dehydration can lead to fainting. While drinking can restore volume, there is evidence from animals showing it also has an effect on the vagus nerve, which then attempts to raise blood pressure.

The New York Times reports: The boom in oil from shale formations in recent years has generated a lot of discussion that the United States could eventually return to energy self-sufficiency, but according to a report released Tuesday by the International Energy Agency, production of such oil in the United States and worldwide will provide only a temporary respite from reliance on the Middle East.
The agency's annual World Energy Outlook, released in London, said the world oil picture was being remade by oil from shale, known as light tight oil, along with new sources like Canadian oil sands, deepwater production off Brazil and the liquids that are produced with new supplies of natural gas.
"But, by the mid-2020s, non-OPEC production starts to fall back and countries from the Middle East provide most of the increase in global supply," the report said. A high market price for oil will help stimulate drilling for light tight oil, the report said, but the resource is finite, and the low-cost suppliers are in the Middle East.
"There is a huge growth in light tight oil, that it will peak around 2020, and then it will plateau," said Maria van der Hoeven, executive director of the International Energy Agency. The agency was founded in response to the Arab oil embargo of 1973-74, by oil-importing nations.
The agency's assessment of world supplies is consistent with an estimate by the United States Energy Department's Energy Information Administration, which forecasts higher levels of American oil production from shale to continue until the late teens, and then slow rapidly.
"We expect the Middle East will come back and be a very important producer and exporter of oil, just because there are huge resources of low-cost light oil," Ms. van der Hoeven said. "Light tight oil is not low-cost oil." [Continue reading...]
America's diminishing dependence on Middle East oil will be short-lived
How the NSA and GCHQ spied on OPEC
Der Spiegel reports: America's NSA and Britain's GCHQ are both spying on the OPEC oil cartel, documents from whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal. The security of the global energy supply is one of the most important issues for the intelligence agencies.
Documents disclosed by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal that both America's National Security Agency (NSA) and Britain's Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) have infiltrated the computer network of the the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
In January 2008, the NSA department in charge of energy issues reported it had accomplished its mission. Intelligence information about individual petroleum-exporting countries had existed before then, but now the NSA had managed, for the first time, to infiltrate OPEC in its entirety.
OPEC, founded in 1960, has its headquarters in a box-like building in Vienna. Its main objective is to control the global oil market, and to keep prices high. The 12 member states include Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Iran and Iraq.
When the NSA used the Internet to infiltrate OPEC's computers, its analysts discovered an internal study in the OPEC Research Division. It stated that OPEC officials were trying to cast the blame for high oil prices on speculators. A look at files in the OPEC legal department revealed how the organization was preparing itself for an antitrust suit in the United States. And a review of the section reserved for the OPEC secretary general documented that the Saudis were using underhanded tactics, even within the organization. According to the NSA analysts, Riyadh had tried to keep an increase in oil production a secret for as long as possible. [Continue reading...]
Iran threatens to close Strait of Hormuz if West imposes oil sanctions
The New York Times reports: Iran issued a blunt warning on Tuesday that it would block the Strait of Hormuz, the world's most important oil transit point, if Western powers attempt to impose an embargo on Iranian petroleum exports in their campaign to isolate the country over its suspect nuclear energy program.
The warning, issued by Vice President Mohammad Reza Rahimi, came as Iran's naval forces were in the midst of a 10-day war games exercise in a vast area of the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman. The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow passage that connects the Gulf of Oman to the Persian Gulf, is the route for one third of the world's oil-tanker traffic.
"If Iran oil is banned not a single drop of oil will pass through Hormuz Strait," Mr. Rahimi was quoted as saying by the official Islamic Republic News Agency at a conference in Tehran.
"We are not interested in any hostility," he was quoted as saying. "Our motto is friendship and brotherhood, but Westerners are not willing to abandon their plots."
OPEC rulers pay their subjects $1 trillion to keep quiet
Bloomberg reports:
Saudi Arabia will spend $43 billion on its poorer citizens and religious institutions. Kuwaitis are getting free food for a year. Civil servants in Algeria received a 34 percent pay rise. Desert cities in the United Arab Emirates may soon enjoy uninterrupted electricity.
Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries members are poised to earn an unprecedented $1 trillion this year, according to the U.S. Energy Department, as the group's benchmark oil measure exceeded $100 a barrel for the longest period ever. They are promising to plow record amounts into public and social programs after pro-democracy movements overthrew rulers in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya and spread to Yemen and Syria.
Unlike past booms, when Abu Dhabi bought English soccer club Manchester City and Qatar acquired a stake in luxury carmaker Porsche SE, Gulf nations pledged $150 billion in additional spending this year on their citizens. They will need to keep U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude oil at more than $80 a barrel to afford their promises, according to Bank of America Corp.
"A sharp increase in spending to accommodate social pressures has averted potential disquiet over governance in most countries, though in the longer-term economic reforms will be needed to buoy private-sector growth and job creation," Jean- Michel Saliba, a London-based economist at Bank of America, said in an e-mail Sept. 8. "Without the social spending, Gulf protests would possibly move the nations toward constitutional monarchy."
NEWS & ANALYSIS: The sliding dollar
The dollar's decline: from symbol of hegemony to shunned currency
The decline of the dollar, symbol of US global hegemony for the best part of a century, may have become so entrenched that some experts now fear it is irreversible.
After months of huge and sustained turmoil on the money markets, lack of confidence in the world's totemic currency has become so widespread that an increasing number of international traders are transferring their wealth to stronger currencies such as the euro, which recently hit its highest level against the dollar.
"An American businessman over here who is given the choice would take anything but the dollar," David Buik of Cantor Index said yesterday. "I would want to be paid in yen, and if not yen then the euro or sterling." [complete article]
Critics assail weak dollar at OPEC event
A rare meeting of the heads of state of the OPEC countries ended here today on a political note, with two leaders — President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran — blaming the weakness of the United States dollar for high oil prices.
Despite the best efforts of the host country, Saudi Arabia, to steer the meeting away from politics and promote OPEC's environmental concerns, the leaders of Venezuela and Iran let loose some show-stealing statements.
"The dollar is in free fall, everyone should be worried about it," Mr. Chávez told reporters here. "The fall of the dollar is not the fall of the dollar — it's the fall of the American empire."
During a news conference after the meeting, Mr. Ahmadinejad added: "The U.S. dollar has no economic value."
Mr. Ahmadinejad said that oil, which was hovering last week at close to $100 a barrel, was being sold currently for a "paltry sum." And Mr. Chávez predicted that prices would rise to $200 a barrel if the United States were "crazy enough" to strike at Iran, or even at his own country. [complete article]

Bruno Senna on spinning and beaching his Williams in the gravel; Charles Pic on a speedy Q1 run which saw him outpace his team mate Timo Glock for a second race in succession; McLarens Jenson Button and Red Bulls Mark Webber on failing to make it through to the top-ten shootout; Saubers Kamui Kobayashi on his hydraulic leak; and Lewis Hamilton on claiming McLarens 150th pole position - for a while, at least. All 24 drivers and senior team personnel report back on Saturday...
Lewis Hamilton (1st, Q3 - 1m 21.707s)
This is such a disappointment. Todays qualifying session was one of the best Ive ever driven - the whole car was just rolling so smoothly - it felt fantastic. The team had done a fantastic job to bring the updates here this weekend - so I want to say a huge thank-you to all the men and women at the MTC [McLaren Technology Centre] for working day and night to get all the new components here this weekend.
But, on my slowing-down lap, my engineers told me to stop on the track, and I didnt know why. Later, to hear that Id been excluded from qualifying, was of course extremely disappointing.
But, now, looking ahead to tomorrow, I think its clear that its going to be an incredibly tough race for us. Even so, as always, Ill never give up and Ill give it everything Ive got. It would mean so much to me to get a good result here in Spain: its such a pleasure to come here and the support I get is amazing. As I always say, and as I always do, whatever grid position I start a Grand Prix from, Ill always race my heart out.
Jenson Button (11th, Q2 - 1m 22.944s)
I expected quite a bit from qualifying today, so I dont really understand what went wrong. The speed is in the car though, as Lewis showed.
We were quickest on the soft tyre yesterday, and I thought wed be reasonably competitive today too - but that wasnt the case, and we dont really know why. I just struggled with a very different balance from yesterday. I had oversteer all through qualifying, then, on my final run - when we actually added more front wing - I had understeer!
Its not a perfect day when you qualify in P11 [P10 after Lewiss penalty] but I hope we can work out this evening whats happening with the balance for the race tomorrow. I guess youd just have to describe today as a difficult day at the office.
Martin Whitmarsh, McLaren team principal
You wont be surprised to hear me saying that today was a very disappointing day for all at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes. But, if I may start by stressing the positives, both today and yesterday our car has shown itself to be both fast and stable at this most testing of circuits, and as a result Jenson was extremely quick yesterday and Lewis extremely quick today.
But, when it came to final qualifying this afternoon, by their own admission Jenson and his engineers didnt quite manage to find the sweet spot in terms of set-up and tyre optimisation, and the result was P11 [P10 after Lewiss penalty]. Lewis, by contrast, hooked it up beautifully in Q3 today, continuing his run of scintillating quali-laps so far this season.
However, he was unable to finish his slow-down lap - and, since we accept that the stewards didnt agree with our interpretation of force majeure, we didnt contest their decision to penalise him. Our aim is therefore now to maximise the points we can score tomorrow, and you may rest assured that both Jenson and Lewis will approach the 2012 Spanish Grand Prix with their customary combative ambition.
Pastor Maldonado (2nd, Q3 - 1m 22.285)
We have been working so hard all year to understand these tyres and with the updates we have brought to this race we have made a very good step forward. The car is very consistent and its race pace is good so I am really looking forward to the race tomorrow. There has been a really positive atmosphere in the team all season and this is a great result for them and Venezuela.
Bruno Senna (18th, Q2 - 1m 24.981s)
It was a disappointing qualifying for me and I had back luck with traffic when on the soft tyre. I have a lot of work to do tomorrow if I want to score any points but I have had good races from the back before and our car is looking competitive this weekend.
Mark Gillan, Williams chief operations engineer
Pastor's qualifying performance was stunning today with a collection of very strong laps throughout the session which allowed us to save a set of soft tyres to fight for a decent qualifying position in Q3. To finish P2 is a great boost for the whole team and gives us a very good position from which to push hard in the race for decent points and hopefully a further belated 70th birthday present for Frank. It is obviously disappointing for Bruno to have crashed out of Q1 but we expect the race pace to be strong so points are still possible from P18.
Fernando Alonso (3rd, Q3 - 1m)
This third place is not what we had expected. We were counting on making a step forward that would allow us to get into Q3 with less difficulty than in the first races of the season and we managed it. But we certainly did not think we could be so high up the grid. I dont know if this position is a true reflection of our cars performance - its definitely not normal for a Red Bull and a McLaren to be eliminated in Q2 and that the other Red Bull gets into Q3 with no sets of new Soft tyre available but what is certain is that the new parts we have brought here have resulted in us taking a step in the right direction: sure, its not yet enough to fight for the very top places. Its a good basis to start from for this weekend, but the points come tomorrow. We will try and get a good start, especially as some of my main opponents in the title fight start behind us and we must try and make the most of that. Tyre performance will be a critical factor: we will have to be careful, because the forecast is for different temperatures to today and that could throw up some surprises. Racing in front of this amazing crowd always gives me some extra motivation!
Felipe Massa (17th, Q2 - 1m 23.444s)
When qualifying is as close as this, it is vital to manage to have everything fall into place on a clean lap and I never got that chance. On my second run in Q2, I came across at least seven or eight cars that were preparing their tyres for their timed lap and the time I lost definitely cost me dear. Its a real shame to start seventeenth in a race in which our car has shown it has made a step forward in terms of performance, as could be seen from Fernandos result. The new aerodynamic parts which we introduced on the F2012 seem to have worked well we have a bit more aerodynamic downforce and a bit less drag but we are well aware that there is still a lot to do. Tomorrow, on a track as hard as this one on the tyres, strategy will be crucial: lets hope I can make it into the points.
Pat Fry, Ferrari chassis director
A good result with Fernando, who managed to qualify third, the best performance of the season. A shame for Felipe, who suffered because of traffic on his quick lap in Q2: right now, I cannot say if he would have made the cut out of Q2, but it definitely cost him some places. We brought various updates here, especially aerodynamic ones: some worked well, meeting our expectations, others less so: looking at this afternoons result we can say we have made a step forward, but its clear that there is still a lot of work to do to always be at the same level as the best. However, third place is a confidence boost and it is down to everyone who, these past weeks, back home and at the track, has worked hard to reach this objective. Now we must confirm this progress in the race as well. The forecast is for slightly lower temperatures tomorrow and that could have an effect on tyre behaviour. We have seen various choices in terms of tyre management: now we will see who made the right choice.
Stefano Domenicali, Ferrari team principal
The session was very closely contested and packed with surprises. Finally this year, we managed to get to Q3 in a condition that meant we could show our worth, at least with one of the drivers. Fernando did a fantastic job from the first to the final lap of the session, constantly improving and, once again, getting all the potential out of the car. Felipe fought hard, but on his lap with new Soft tyres in Q2, he had a lot of traffic and lost a few tenths that would have brought him close to tenth place. We had a lot of new parts on the F2012 and the aim was to make up at least part of the gap to the best in terms of pure performance. We have made a step forward, this is a fact. Tomorrows race seems very hard to predict and tyre performance will make the difference. The weather could also play an important role, given we have already seen that a few degrees more or less can change the cards on the table.
Romain Grosjean, (4th, Q3 - 1m 22.424s)
It was a good performance from the team, especially as I didnt run in FP3 because of a fuel pressure problem. For the set-up we went from what wed found out yesterday and it worked pretty well. Everyone did a good job to get the car ready for qualifying after the problems of the morning. We can be happy with what we have achieved - of course you always want more but this is the result for today. I think that I could have been a little bit quicker, not too much more. Tomorrow is going to be long; our race pace did not look too bad but, of course, well have to manage tyre degradation.
Kimi Raikkonen, (5th, Q3 - 1m 22.487s)
I think we had a chance to be in the top three but weve been fighting with the set-up quite a bit today. We changed the car for qualifying and actually it was the correct call in the end; it was just a few small mistakes which cost me some time on my Q3 lap. Well see how it goes tomorrow in the race; the car has usually been better on Sunday than it has been on Saturday, so if thats the case tomorrow well be pretty happy. A lot of small details will decide the race and the tyres are one aspect of course. Our long runs were promising yesterday, so were not looking too bad. Hopefully we get a reasonable start and we can be up at the right end and go for it. I think weve got a good car and thats the main thing.
Alan Permane, Lotus trackside operations director
Today went relatively smoothly for us. In Q3 I think we could have had a little bit more from both drivers laps. For Romain in particular - after missing this mornings practice - it was an exceptional effort. Having the hard and soft tyres as opposed to two compounds which sit alongside each other (the medium and soft used in Bahrain for example) meant we had to approach qualifying differently as we all needed the softer tyre to progress through Q1, limiting the number of soft tyres available for the next two sessions. We saw different approaches to this; well have to see in the race whose was correct. Our long run pace yesterday looked good so we can be reasonably confident heading into the race. Our target for today was to get both cars into the top six; weve got both in the top five so lets try and exceed expectations once again tomorrow.
Sergio Perez (6th, Q3 - 1m 22.533s)
After the free practice sessions hadnt been so easy for me, in qualifying the car really felt good. I think the result is what we were hoping for and perhaps a little bit better than expected. The competition is so close that a tenth of a second can really make a big difference, and you always think you could go a bit faster. In this regard it is almost frustrating having finished sixth, because a slightly better position was within reach. However, I think we can have a strong race performance. A lot will be down to tyre degradation tomorrow, which is quite high here. I want to do a perfect race and get the maximum possible points, or even come home with a nice surprise.
Kamui Kobayashi (10th, Q3 - no time)
We really had a good performance in qualifying, and I could feel I had not extracted the maximum potential out of the car yet. In Q1 I had a bit of traffic and also on my fastest lap in Q2 there was still room for improvement from me. I believe I could have been fighting for a top five position, and this was what I was looking forward to. But then, after the chequered flag at the end of Q2, I was told on the radio that I had to stop the car because of an hydraulic problem. Nevertheless the team did a great job here to get both of us in Q3, and I am very positive for tomorrows race.
Giampaolo DallAra, Sauber head of track engineering
We are quite pleased with the outcome of qualifying. From an engineering point of view it was very positive that the good results from the Mugello test were confirmed on this track. Both drivers did a very good job, driving fast and consistent. Its a shame we had an hydraulic leak on Kamuis car. We decided that he should stop the car immediately in order not to do more damage. Now the important part comes tomorrow, and Im confident we can achieve a very good result in the race.
Monisha Kaltenborn, Sauber CEO
We are very happy with this result. After the Mugello test, which was quite encouraging, we hoped we would be able to get both cars into Q3, and its good to see that this worked out. P6 is a great result for Sergio. We are sorry for Kamui who had to stop after Q2 due to an hydraulic leak, but Im very optimistic for the race.
Nico Rosberg (7th, Q3 - 1m 23.005s)
"That was a tricky qualifying session this afternoon, and seventh position was about the most that we could have achieved. It was a challenge to find the right set-up for the tyres and some of the others did that better than we did today. However with a good strategy tomorrow, we can hopefully gain some places. This has been a mixed up season so far and it's interesting to see that there are some new guys on the front row tomorrow."
Michael Schumacher (9th, Q3 - no time)
We wanted to save tyres this afternoon, which dictated how we managed Q3. I did not complete a timed lap, and now I still have the choice of what tyres to start on tomorrow. Equally, I thought it was better to start from ninth on the grid than eighth, and be on the clean side. It's clear that some teams have taken a step forward after the three-week break. And I would also say that the field is now even closer together. It's going to be a tight race tomorrow, although the forecast says it should be cooler, and it will be interesting to see if our choices today pay off at the end of the race."
Bob Bell, Mercedes technical director
"We completed useful race preparation work this morning, showed some improvement and went into qualifying expecting an interesting session due to the desire to save tyres for the race. The story of qualifying indeed turned out to be one of managing tyre use, and it certainly delivered a unique session. From a team perspective, we got two cars into the top ten and both drivers will start from the cleaner side of the grid, while our positions were probably as good as we could have achieved with the way we chose to use the tyres. Tomorrow's forecast is still for cooler temperatures, and with what we have seen both this weekend and this season so far, we know that a difference of several degrees in track temperature can make a huge difference to how different cars perform. We can expect a very interesting race."
Norbert Haug, vice-president, Mercedes-Benz Motorsport
"A qualifying dominated by tyre saving which most of the teams did and we were no exception. Some sessions are tight, like Q2 when 0.048s separated P5 from P10, others are not, as Lewis' impressive qualifying time more than half a second ahead of P2 proved. Having said that, it is most likely that we will see changes in the top ten order from today at the end of the race tomorrow. Our target will be to score points with both cars posting consistent lap times as Nico did during his long run at the end of the final practice session this morning."
Red Bull
Sebastian Vettel (8th, Q3 - no time)
A pretty different session today; it was extremely tight. From Q1 onwards we decided to go on the soft tyres. The first run in Q2 wasnt good enough, so I had to go again and it was clear then that if we made it to Q3, we wouldnt have any new soft tyres left. I think we got the maximum at the end there in Q3, we saved some sets of tyres, which we thought going in to qualifying would be crucial, but we didnt have the pace of the top five cars today. Tyres will be important tomorrow, so lets see what we can do.
Mark Webber (12th, Q2 - 1m 22.977s)
Im pretty surprised by that; the guys did a good job with the car and were pushing hard all weekend. We were quick, but the track kept getting faster and we got caught out. My first timed lap in Q2 wasnt fast enough. I was P2 after the first lap and we thought we had done enough, but in the end it wasnt. I didnt use two sets of tyres in Q2, which it turns out wasnt the right thing to do. I was told not to go out again, but the way that the track improved was a surprise to all of us. We were very strong in the first part of Q2 and I was happy with how I drove my lap. Its the way it goes sometimes.
Christian Horner, Red Bull team principal
A difficult session, obviously everyone ended up having to use the soft tyre in Q1. In Q2 we thought we had done enough with Mark, we knew it was going to be tight, but we thought the time was enough and were keen to take a new set of tryes into Q3, but it didnt work out and we missed the cut with him. We knew we had to run again with Seb and he did just enough to make it into Q3, but hed used all his sets of soft tyres, at which point it became a game of tactics. Mercedes were in the same position as us with tyres and were the only one we could potentially out qualify. We performed an out and in-lap to make sure we were the first to do that and then started a timed, but Seb was down compared to Rosberg - the the only other scrubbed tyre user so we aborted the lap and will start in P8. We have four new sets of tyres for Mark and three for Sebastian, which can be extremely valuable in the race.
Force India
Paul di Resta (13th, Q2 - 1m 23.125s)
It has been quite a difficult weekend so far trying to get the car dialled into the circuit. In fact, it was only during the my final qualifying run that we made a change to the aero balance and I felt that the car was really hooked up. Its close throughout the field once again, but weve been fairly aggressive on set-up and our pace over longs runs has looked quite competitive so far this weekend, which gives us a reason to be optimistic for the race. The goal will be to make up ground tomorrow and I think it will be a big achievement if we can pick up some points.
Nico Hulkenberg (14th, Q2 - 1m 23.177s)
Im pretty satisfied with my final lap in Q2 because I dont think we could have achieved much more from the session today. Thats just where we are at the moment in terms of qualifying pace. We are still getting to understand the upgrades we have on the car, but its also clear that everyone else has made a step forward here and so the midfield remains extremely tight. The races so far this year have shown that grid position is not as crucial as it used to be with a lot of movement in the races, so I think we can still have a good race.
Robert Fernley, Force India deputy team principal
The team has done an excellent job over the last few weeks to push through our upgrade package and get it on the car this weekend. But its still early days and Im sure that over the coming races we can fine-tune things further and extract even more performance. With than in mind I think we can take encouragement from our qualifying showing today with both Nico and Paul just a couple of tenths shy of squeezing through to Q3. Weve been pleased with our tyre wear and the performance over long runs suggests we are in good shape for a competitive race tomorrow.
Toro Rosso
Jean-Eric Vergne (15th, Q2 - 1m 23.265s)
I have mixed feelings about this qualifying, because from a personal point of view, I feel I did a better job than I have done in the other sessions this year and for the first time this year, I have out-qualified my team mate. On the other hand, I think we were lacking something from the car side. Everyone in the team has worked hard to bring updates for this race, but the others have done the same and apparently a bit more than us. We still have some work do to, but on the positive side, we improved the car from yesterday and I feel that our pace over a long run is pretty good, so we will have to see what happens tomorrow. I dont feel it is too unrealistic to try and aim for some points.
Daniel Ricciardo (16th, Q2 - 1m 23.442s)
This was not an ideal session for me. From yesterday I felt we were trying to chase a better balance front and rear on the car and although we made a substantial change overnight, it did not have as much of an effect as we had hoped for in terms of lap time or feeling in the car. In Bahrain I had a great Saturday and a poor Sunday, so Iets hope its the other way round this time. Im not going to dwell on todays performance and now Im just focussed on having as good a race as possible.
Laurent Mekies, Toro Rosso chief engineer
It is clear from todays classification that, even if we were able to make improvements to our car overnight, it was enough to be up with the quickest guys. Its true that it is very tight in this part of the grid, but we were not able to get into Q3 and we can expect an equally tight fight in the midfield in tomorrows race. The pace of development is very high for everyone so we now need to push even harder to catch up. As far as the race is concerned, we have managed to produce something even from lower down the grid, so hopefully we can pick up a bit of pace and deliver a good performance.
Vitaly Petrov (19th, Q1 - 1m 25.277s)
I am very happy with today's performance. It feels great to have it all come together in qualifying today and I want to thank the team for doing a great job and helping me put together a final lap like that. There was even more time to come as I made a small mistake in sector two that maybe cost me two or three tenths, but between FP3 and qualifying we found a good balance on the softs and a KERS map that I could really get everything out of, so it's great to see it pay off with that sort of performance. Tomorrow's going to be an interesting race. I think a lot of it will come down to who uses the rear tyres best and as we've already seen earlier this season, we can fight with the cars ahead on Sundays, so hopefully we can carry through this afternoon's performance to tomorrow, and who knows what could happen.
Heikki Kovalainen (20th, Q2 - 1m 25.507s)
I'm not unhappy with today's performance but we could have definitely got more out of the car this afternoon. I made a mistake in turn three that cost me some time but overall I've not really been able to find a setup I'm happy with all weekend. We've tried a few different things to find a decent balance but for some reason we just couldn't find a compromise for qualifying today. We'll put that behind us now and move on to tomorrow where we'll aim to maintain the sort of race pace we've shown in the first four Grands Prix this season. If we can look after the tyres I think we'll be ok.
Mark Smith, Caterham technical director
I think we probably got close to extracting as much performance out of the cars as we could this afternoon. Both drivers may have been able to find a couple more tenths but I am pleased with the performances they put in and now the focus moves to tomorrow's race. Tyres will be the defining factor in the race. We have already shown that we can fight with several cars ahead on Sundays and I think that careful management of the tyres and good pitstop strategy should give us a chance of putting in a good performance.
Charles Pic (21st, Q1 - 1m 26.582s)
I am quite happy to be honest. I think for me all round it is quite a good qualifying. We managed to improve the package for this weekend, but the gap to the cars in front today did not reflect that. I dont think we really know where we are yet because the car was not 100%. I feel there is more to come for sure. We always seem to be better in the race versus our competitors and I hope that will be true for tomorrow. For now though I am happy with my position and I look forward to the race.
Timo Glock (22nd, Q1 - 1m 27.032s)
A much better day today than yesterday. I think we got on top of the problems a little bit and in Free Practice 3 this morning I had a good feeling. Unfortunately qualifying wasnt great for me. I made a mistake on my first flying lap, which was then not quick enough, and on the second flying lap on the first set of tyres I ran into yellow flags at turn three where one of the HRTs spun, so I couldnt do much on first set of tyres. On the second set of tyres I just couldnt get the lap together. The first sector was good; in the second sector I got a bit of traffic; and for some reason I dropped tyre performance in the last sector. It just didnt come together today and I will have to sit and analyse it and hope for better things in the race tomorrow.
John Booth, Marussia team principal
We approached Free Practice 3 this morning somewhat hesitantly. For the last two race weekends we have found, on Timos car in particular, that a good balance on Friday has somehow translated into a car that is not behaving as it should have done for the rest of the weekend. A lot of analysis has taken place over the past week - and at the Mugello test prior to that - and some new parts that we brought to both cars seem to have solved these problems. Timo reported a much improved balance on the car today, even with respect to Friday. Given this, our confidence built in FP3 but was then knocked slightly by a mechanical issue on Timos car at the end of the session. We quickly diagnosed the fault on what was a new part and were able to apply a fix to both cars in readiness for qualifying. Unfortunately for Timo, he never really found his rhythm in the qualifying session, so Im sure theres a lot more to come from him tomorrow. Charles on the other hand performed brilliantly, as was the case last week, and he is certainly exceeding all the expectations that we had of him for this stage of his debut season. The guys in front still have a little margin on us if we put our best laps together, so tomorrow we will perhaps not be able to enjoy the fight we had hoped for. However, by setting the clear goal of trying to be as close to them as we possibly can, we will at least be able to learn more about where our car development needs to go from here.
Pedro de la Rosa (23rd, Q1 - 1m 27.555s)
The day went very well, especially this afternoon, so I'm very happy with what we achieved. We completed two very good laps in qualifying, getting under the 1.28 mark which we hadn't achieved neither yesterday nor this morning. I know that our position seems the same as always but, in terms of performance, we have progressed and that's what I'll take away with me. As I always say, we've still got a lot of room for improvement but we're on the right path and that's what matters. Tomorrow's race won't be easy because it's a tough track and the rear tyres wear out a lot. We have to get off to a good start, give the Marussias a good fight and finish the race in front of all our fans."
Narain Karthikeyan (24th, Q1 - 1m 31.122s)
"It's been a very unlucky weekend for me so far. In the morning everything went smoothly but in the afternoon, with the first set of tyres I was pushing really hard and spun on turn 3 and, as a result, I flat-spotted a tyre so I had to come back in to the garage. We were going to go on the second set of tyres but we discovered some problems and due to safety concerns, not only for myself but the others, we decided that the best thing was to not go back out. It seems like my bad luck continues to follow me this weekend and, although I'm disappointed about that, there's nothing else I can do but keep giving it my best shot."
Toni Cuquerella, HRT technical director
"We had mixed fortunes today. Pedro was able to continue with his programme and we were able to confirm that everything works fine and, as anticipated, the upgrades gave us an improvement. But we can't stop, we have to continue progressing. For qualifying, the car's balance improved a little bit more and Pedro completed two very good laps. With Narain the target in the practice session was to do as much mileage as possible and he did a fantastic job, but we weren't lucky in qualifying as he spun on the first set of tyres and wasn't able to set a good time, and when he was about to go out with the second set we had to abort as there was a problem with the fitting of the on-board camera which made it dangerous to go back out. He wasn't able to get in the 107% but I'm confident that, given the performance he showed this morning, there won't be any trouble for him to start tomorrow's race."
Paul Hembery, Pirelli motorsport director
Strategy was at the forefront of qualifying today, with a gap of around 0.8 seconds between the hard and the soft tyres, depending on the team. Historically, Barcelona is a race that has nearly always been won from the front row of the grid, but now drivers that have qualified lower down the grid still have a possibility to challenge for victory. There were some surprising eliminations in Q2; however these drivers will feel the benefit of having more fresh tyres, so it will be interesting to see what they can do with them. As Barcelona is so demanding on every aspect of the dynamics of a car, including tyre management, it is normally a very good indicator of the likely form for the rest of the year. With the teams so closely matched this season, and the upgrades introduced at Mugello beginning to take effect, its going to be very hard to predict a winner for tomorrow. Particular congratulations to Pastor Maldonado and Williams - who have consistently got the most out of the tyres throughout the weekend so far.

text: E-drug: Prices of essential drugs in developing countries (cont'd) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- I think that Hilbrand is asking a good question but the answer may be a bit more complex than markups alone. There are many charges other than those made by the pharmaceutical companies or pharmacies. These include drug registration fees, (I am told that the fee in Russia at the moment is $12,000). There are also customs duties, sales or VAT taxes, handling charges, dispensing charges as well as markups. To understand the situation we need to know the make up of these charges. However comparing the end result with an international standard can be very interesting. I was in Macedonia recently and discovered that the drugs there are costing 4-7 times the MSH/WB Drug Price Indicator Guide prices. In an unpublished five country study of TB drugs by Sato and Ishikawa the price of various drugs varied from 59.4% to 213% of the MSH/WB prices in the public sector. I am advocating for the waiving of registration fees, customs duties and taxes for TB drugs though this approach could be applied to all Essential Drugs.
