HoopsHype Tony Snell rumors
However, his demeanor on Thursday was night and day compared to his appearance in Sacramento 11 days ago. Snell appeared more confident and relaxed in his session with the media this time around. Following yesterday's workout, new Kings coach Michael Malone took some time to speak one-on-one with Snell. Malone said afterwards he made a point to assure Snell of the Kings' interest. "I just told him when you have guys back here for a second time, we're not bringing guys back in that we don't like," Malone said yesterday. "So Tony had a very good career at New Mexico and he's played very well for us in the two times he's been here." Cowbell Kingdom

Shooting guards will dominate the first Bucks workout of draft prospects on Tuesday at the Cousins Center. Glen Rice Jr., who has been rising on draft charts after leading his Rio Grande Valley team to the D-League championship, headlines a workout session that also includes New Mexico guard Tony Snell, Iowa State guard Will Clyburn and Syracuse small forward James Southerland.

Now a month after his decision to leave UNM, Snell is starting to see his draft stock rise entering this week's invitation-only NBA draft combine in Chicago. "It bothered me, but it also motivated me," Snell told the Journal from Los Angeles, where he's been working seven days a week preparing for the draft. "I know you can't please everybody. When I made this decision, I did it with all the faith in Marvin (Lea, his former prep school coach who is now training him in preparation for the June 27 NBA draft). I knew what I was capable of and I knew what he was telling me. Now that there are others starting to take notice, it's a little bit of a relief even though I never really doubted my ability." Albuquerque Journal
New Mexico guard Tony Snell will forgo his senior season to enter the NBA draft. The 21-year-old Snell made the announcement at a Monday news conference on the school's Albuquerque campus. The 6-foot-7 Snell says "in my heart, I feel like it's a good decision to leave now." ESPN.com
Though his decision was made Monday, news went public Tuesday morning that the 6-foot-7 junior guard would ride the momentum of his national coming-out party at the Mountain West tournament and leave school early to enter the 2013 NBA draft. Snell has not hired an agent and can retain his college eligibility until he does so or until the April 16 deadline to withdraw his name from the NBA Early Entry list. Sources close to Snell have confirmed to the Journal that he isn't likely to be returning to the team next season. Albuquerque Journal
University of New Mexico guard Tony Snell announced Tuesday that he will make himself eligible for the NBA draft. Snell said that he will not hire an agent, which will give the junior forward the opportunity to return to school before the April 16th deadline should he find his draft prospects less than adequate. 1017 The Team

With the exception of the Hershel fight, this looks like a good card. Looking forward to seeing some great BJJ from Roger and Jacare.
With the exception of the Hershel fight, this looks like a good card. Looking forward to seeing some great BJJ from Roger and Jacare.
It's a weak card, but I'll watch it anyway.
is anyone really thinkin cyborg has much of a chance? i feel like kj noons was an actual step up in competition and now Diaz is fightin another nobody.
give Walker a real fighter this time or he'll just shake his ass agian…maybe after this fight he'll teach high school football…
This card seems quite weak when you look at it in detail, the main event diaz vs santos is in my opinion a very one sided fight for diaz. Santos is an average fighter at best with a below average record 18-13. Should be over very quickly. Jacare Souza vs Robbie Lawler is interesting, do I think Lawler deserves a title shot for beating Lindland… No! But when Brett Rogers gets a title shot coming off a KO loss then there really isn't any grounds for argument. Souza should take it to the ground and submit Robbie in the 1st Rd. But Robbie Lawler has a way of surprising people sometimes. Hershel Walker vs I have nothing to say about this fight simply because I know nothing about the two of them in terms of fighting, I took away nothing from Hershels last fight. The only competitive fight on the card is Gracie vs Prangley, and for that reason I think this is a weak card.
fakearms…it looks like your interest in the Lawlor/Souza fight takes that one from "interesting" to competitive. So 2 of the 4 fights should be good. I am not saying that they could be long fights but they should be entertaining. While I am not a Hershel fan, if you don't know anyting about him or Carson, then how could you write off that fight. I am sure that carson will be inexpereinced,just like Hershel but that may make for a good matchup. I am pretty sure that you will be watching and at a cost of $0.00 if you already subscribe to Showtime, enjoy it. I don't complain about any card whether it be a UFC Fight Night, UFC on Versus, UFC TUF Finale, Showtime, or anything on HDNet because they are all free considering I have those channels. Put on Showtime, sit back and relax those fakearms of yours.
Bear I am from Ireland, I don't have showtime or HDNet, I have ESPN or Setanta Sports and they both cost money. Anyway I value your opinion but your dollars, your hotdogs and your fancy movie stars are many many miles away from where I live… to be sure to be sure, top of the morning lassie!

Let p be a prime and q = p s and ζk a fixed primitive kth root of unity in some extension of Q. Let χ be a multiplicative character over Fq of order k and J (χ, χ) the associated Jacobi sum. We give examples of χ which satisfy J (χ, χ) ∈p [s/2]Z[ζk]. Moreover, for s = 3, we prove that there is only a finite number of k such that J(χ, χ) is an element of pZ[ζk] except for the case where k is divisible by nine and p ≡1 ± k/3 (mod k).

Let (R, m) be a commutative Noetherian local ring with the maximal ideal m and A an Artinian R-module with N-dimA = d. Let n = (n1,n2,...,nd) be a d-tuple of positive integers. For each system of parameters x = (x1,...,xd) of A, we consider the length ℓ R(0 :A (x 1 n1 ,...,x d nd )R) as a function d-variables on n 1 ,...,n d . Then a necessary and sufficient condition for this length to be polynomial (in n1,...,nd) is given. Moreover, we shall introduce a system of parameters for which the length ℓ R(0 : A (x 1 n 1,...,x d nd )R) can be computed by a nice formula.

This article is devoted to dealing with existence of a solution to a quasilinear elliptic problem with the Hardy potential term up−1 / |x|p and critical growth in the gradient |∇u|p as an absorption term. By considering the interaction between the two terms in the equation, we prove that there exists a positive solution to the problem. Moreover, the existence result for a wider class of weight functions can also be obtained.

In this paper we are concerned with the optimal convergence rates of the global strong solution to the stationary solutions for the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with a potential external force ∇Φ in the whole space Rn for n ≥3. It is proved that the perturbation and its first-order derivatives decay in L 2 norm in O(t −n/4 ) and O(t −n/4−1/2), respectively, which are of the same order as those of the n-dimensional heat kernel, if the initial perturbation is small in H s0(R n ) ∩L 1 (R n) with s0 =[n/2]+ 1 and the potential force Φ is small in some Sobolev space. The results also hold for n ≥ 2 when Φ = 0. When Φ = 0, we also obtain the decay rates of higher-order derivatives of perturbations.

We derive Gröbner bases for the systems of Lauricella's hypergeometric differential equations. By using these Gröbner bases, we determine characteristic varieties and singular loci of these systems.

We introduce a method which can be used to establish sharp maximal estimates for functions of bounded lower oscillation (BLO). The technique allows us to deduce such estimates from the existence of certain special functions, and can be regarded as a version of Bellman function method, which has gained considerable interest in the recent literature. As an application, we establish a sharp exponential bound, which can be regarded as a version of integral John-Nirenberg inequality for BLO functions.

Let G be the multiplicative group generated by the gamma functions Γ(ax + 1) (a = 1, 2,...), and H be the subgroup of all elements of G that converge to non-zero constants as x →∞. The quotient group G/H is the group of equivalence classes of G, where ƒand g are equivalent ⇔ ƒ∼Cg (x →∞) for some C ≠ 0. We show that G/H ~ Q+. Similar consideration is possible for the case that the gamma functions Γ(ax + 1) with a ∈R+ are concerned, and we show that G/H ~ Z × R × R. Also, several concrete examples of the elements of H are constructed, e.g. it holds that / → (n →∞), where denotes a multinomial coefficient.

In this paper we present the notion of de Rham cohomology with compact support for diffeological spaces. Moreover, we shall discuss the existence of three long exact sequences. As a concrete example, we show that long exact sequences exist for the de Rham cohomology of diffeological subcartesian spaces.

We recently established a Toponogov-type triangle comparison theorem for a certain class of Finsler manifolds whose radial flag curvatures are bounded below by that of a von Mangoldt surface of revolution. In this article, as its applications, we prove the finiteness of topological type and a diffeomorphism theorem to Euclidean spaces.

Let GS be the Galois group of the maximal pro-p-extension QS of Q unramified outside a finite set S of places of Q not containing the prime p > 2. In this work, we develop a method to produce some examples of mild (and thus FAB) pro-p-groups GS for which some relations are of degree three (according to the Zassenhaus filtration). The key computation are done in some Heisenberg extensions of Q of degree p3. With the help of GP-Pari we produce some examples for p = 3.

It is known that a finite-dimensional reductive Lie algebra has a non-degenerate symmetric invariant bilinear form. In this paper, for a given reductive Lie algebra and its finite-dimensional completely reducible representation, we will construct a graded Lie algebra by using a non-degenerate symmetric invariant bilinear form on the reductive Lie algebra. This graded Lie algebra also has a non-degenerate symmetric invariant bilinear form and, moreover, the reductive Lie algebra, its representation and the bilinear form which are used to construct the graded Lie algebra can be embedded into it.

In this paper, for any multivariable function with a periodicity and a certain distribution relation, we define a multiple Dedekind-type sum. Then by a combinatorialgeometric method, we study generalizations of Knopp's formula for the classical Dedekind sums. The main theorem contains many of the preceding results concerning generalizations of Knopp's formula.

Following the analogies between three-dimensional topology and number theory, we study an idèlic form of class field theory for 3-manifolds. For a certain set K of knots in a 3-manifold M, we first present a local theory for each knot in K, which is analogous to local class field theory, and then, getting together over all knots in K, we give an analogue of idèlic global class field theory for an integral homology sphere M.

Fossil Challenges View Of Homo Erectus
According to researchers, a wide-hipped Homo erectus fossil found in Ethiopia suggests that females of the pre-human species gave birth to developed babies with large heads.
The finding leads some researchers to believe that helpless babies came along late in human evolution.
"We could look at this pelvis and then, using a series of measurements, we can calculate … how big the baby's head could be at birth," said Scott Simpson, a paleontologist at Case Western Reserve University.
Simpson says the size of the 1.2 million-year-old pelvis shows that early females had wider hips, and were capable of giving birth to babies with heads that were 30 percent larger than previously thought.
"What this means is the offspring were not as helpless as a modern human," he added.
"It is not coming out walking and talking. But it was probably capable of more advanced behavior at a younger age like grasping, like sitting up … than we would see in a modern human."
Extended childhood is a human characteristic, and the process of caring for helpless babies may have contributed to the development of human culture.
Scientists believe Homo erectus arose in Africa 1.8 million years ago and migrated to Asia and Europe before becoming extinct nearly half a million years ago.
Researchers knew little about Homo erectus until "Turkana Boy," an adolescent H. erectus skeleton was found in 1984.
The skeleton's slim hips led scientists to believe the species gave birth to helpless babies like modern humans.
The near-complete pelvis from Ethiopia challenges the previously held beliefs.
"This H. erectus would have even wider hips (than modern women)," Simpson said.
A main difference between male and female humans is their hip width. Females have wider hips which makes them sway as they walk, while men have slimmer hips which allows them to run more efficiently.
"The reason women do have that sway is their hips are a little further apart," Simpson said.

Grants-in-Aid: The Life-Blood of the
Center for History of Physics
One of the most important means of making the Center a real locus for new work in history of physics is our Grants-in-Aid program. This program has been used since the 1980s to help scholars conduct historical research. These are not large grants, but they often encourage the start-up of new projects that later gain larger grants from NSF or other agencies.
Most projects involve research at the Niels Bohr Library & Archives using manuscripts, books, biographical material, etc., or they involve the conducting of new oral history interviews with prominent physical scientists.
Included on this page are three reports of research undertaken recently by recipients of Grants-in-Aid: two Ph.D. candidates and one science writer. The small grant to the science writer, Peter Byrne, ultimately turned into an article in Scientific American and a BBC/NOVA biographical feature!
We recently were pleased to read the following article by Tom Scheiding in a prominent academic journal, which was researched in part at the Niels Bohr Library & Archives on a Grant-in-Aid.
Tom Scheiding, "Paying for Knowledge One Page at a Time: The Author Fee in Physics in Twentieth-Century America," Historical Studies in the Natural Sciences, 2009, 39:219–247.
We also list here the Grants-in-Aid awarded in the Spring 2009 round. We expect to see these awardees leverage this support into important scholarship, too.

Nuisance to Nemesis: Nuclear Fallout
With financial and archival support from the Center for History of Physics, I visited the Niels Bohr Library & Archives' (NBLA) College Park facility in late June and early July 2009. This visit was made to conduct research at the Library & Archives in support of my doctoral dissertation, "Nuisance to Nemesis: Nuclear Fallout as a Secret, a Problem and a Limitation on the Arms Race, 1954–1964."
Before traveling to College Park, I found, printed and preliminarily evaluated a number of oral history transcripts available online through NBLA. Thus I anticipated that a number of other items I located in the index of the NBLA collections would provide insights into scientific support for and political controversy related to the U.S. nuclear intelligence program, arms control policy, and the role of fallout in shaping national security policy. On arriving, I was very effectively assisted by the NBLA staff, which ably and promptly retrieved the items of interest to me. The finding aids were especially helpful. All this made my visit productive, in spite of reports of an H1N1 virus outbreak in the on-site daycare and minor flooding due to a plumbing problem in the floor above the archive!
The information I sought and found falls into three broad cat-egories. Most important were a series of oral history interviews conducted by Kai-Henrik Barth and others with Cold War era seismologists. These interviews explored the policy controversies that sprung from disputes over the capabilities of seismological monitoring systems necessary to enforce arms control agreements before and after the signing of the Limited Test Ban Treaty in 1963.
I also found interviews and other archival materials that addressed the biophysics controversies over the risks posed by fallout, several reports that suggested I needed to explore further the role of the Atomic Energy Commission's Project Sunshine, and some reports issued by the Federal Radiation Council that supplement materials found in my earlier research on the FRC at the John F. Kennedy Archive. A key find for me was the Lauriston Taylor memoir in which he defended existing human radiation exposure standards, part of his life's work at the National Bureau of Standards, against what he felt were overly dramatized charges that these standards were inadequate to protect populations against exposure to radiation.
Other areas of scientific and political controversy of use were the abundant insights across a number of interviews into the charges against Robert Oppenheimer and the role of Edward Teller into the revocation of Oppenheimer's security clearance. I also found evidence of the role of transnational relationships between scientists during the Cold War that facilitated arms control through the medium of Pugwash conferences, among other insights into the social and cultural milieu within sciences in the postwar period.
I thank the Center for History of Physics and the Niels Bohr Library & Archives for supporting my Ph.D. research.
The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett III
In 2004 the American Institute of Physics awarded me a $1,500 grant in aid to support researching the life of Hugh Everett III. Thus began a five year journey that resulted in my writing a profile of Everett for Scientific American and then, a full length biography of him for Oxford University Press, The Many Worlds of Hugh Everett III: Multiple Universes, Mutual Assured Destruction and the Meltdown of a Nuclear Family, due to be published in March 2010. I also worked with the BBC and NOVA to produce a film on Everett, Parallel Worlds, Parallel Lives.
This year the National Science Foundation awarded myself and philosophy of science professor Jeffery A. Barrett of the University of California, Irvine a grant to support the publication of a compendium of Everett's papers (with commentary) by Princeton University Press. A website of Everett's work will accompany the book.
In the mid-1950s, Everett was a doctoral student in physics at Princeton University, studying quantum mechanics with Robert Dicke, Eugene Wigner, and John Wheeler. For his dissertation, Everett wrote a mathematical proof that there is an uncountable infinity of universes—each containing a different copy of every object and person. When the physics establishment initially rejected his strange idea, he went to work for the Pentagon designing the nuclear targeting plan for World War Three. He died in 1982, just as his "Many Worlds" theory was starting to become popular. Today, it is considered to be one of the most important breakthroughs in the history of physics and the philosophy of science—not to mention science fiction!
Everett is a compelling biographical subject because he was the quintessentially amoral (and super smart) Cold War technocrat. In addition to inventing the "relative state formulation of quantum mechanics," he wrote a classic paper in the annals of game theory; he invented computer algorithms that revolutionized military and business operations research; and he did pioneering work in artificial intelligence. As a Cold Warrior specializing in finding "rational" solutions to complex problems, he designed software that modeled human behavior and, yet, he was largely oblivious to the emotional damage he inflicted upon his family as he gradually descended into an abyss of alcoholism and sexual addiction.
The biography relies upon a score of boxes of documents recently discovered in the Los Angeles basement of Everett's rock star son, Mark Everett. The musty contents of the boxes reveal a fascinating record of his tortured life and the various tragedies that afflicted his nuclear family. His correspondence with the leading scientific minds of his era, such as Niels Bohr, Norbert Wiener, and Wheeler, illuminates the bitter, often politicized struggle over how to interpret the mystery of measurement which lies at the heart of quantum mechanics.
As a non-scientist—I am an investigative reporter—I was gratified by the faith that Spencer Weart evinced in me by awarding the AIP grant five years ago, and I hope this investment has been amply repaid by the results.
The Inter-disciplinarity of Solid State Physics
I am conducting research for my Ph.D. dissertation on the disciplinary development of American solid state physics. The American Physical Society created a Division of Solid State Physics in 1947, giving an institutional face to an informal network of physicists studying properties of solids.
This institutional development, which continued over the next few decades, belied the fields' complexity. The diverse range of subject matter it examined—everything from elasticity to electro-optical effects—led to substantial overlap with chemistry, metallurgy, and engineering.
This project examines these fields' contributions, alongside those from other areas of physics, as the solid state community matured. I've had my nose in the archives for just over three weeks, and have found the Niels Bohr Library's collection of oral histories, physicists' papers, and institutional records rich in relevant material.

Aztecs look at Long Beach, see themselves
"But it does us no good if we don't continue to develop from that win. We don't have time to enjoy it. The reason that Gonzaga win looks so good now (for SDSU) is they followed it up with 33 others."
Monson has four senior starters who have a combined 390 career starts and three 1,000-point career scorers in Casper Ware, Larry Anderson and T.J. Robinson. Now add to that James Ennis, a 6-6 transfer from Ventura Community College who is a 6-11 high jumper and, like most of his teammates, also arrived well under the recruiting radar.
Monson initially set his sights on Santa Monica College's DeShawn Stephens, but when Stephens committed to SDSU last year he needed to find someone else "to help us get over the hump." Enter Ennis, who quickly became a starter and gives opposing teams fits at the top of a 1-2-2 zone.
"They're really, really good," Fisher says. "They are tremendously athletic. They have 6-6 guys who can play multiple positions on the floor, which makes them really hard to guard. They're long defensively. They're good at both ends of the floor. They can score inside and out. Whoever gets the rebound can lead the fast break, which makes them very dangerous.
"They're good enough to be talked about as one of the better teams in the country."
The 49ers will get the chance to prove that. Beside Pitt and the Aztecs, they also play No. 1 North Carolina, No. 8 Louisville, No. 12 Kansas and No. 13 Xavier. The idea is to catch the attention of the NCAA Tournament selection committee, which neglected to give them at-large bids the past two seasons after losing in the Big West Conference tournament.
Players are wearing plastic wrist bands this season that say, simply: FINISH.
Exhibit A, Monson says, is how Xavier Thames drove the length of court of a layup with 1.8 seconds left Thursday night at Viejas Arena to give SDSU a dramatic 56-54 win against USC.
"We haven't elevated our program to the level of San Diego State yet," Monson says. "They're still playing off of last year's swagger. They're sending guys out there who might not have played much last year but they still expect to win every game. It's the culture of their program now. It's the culture of the arena right now.
"Xavier Thames sat out last year but he was part of that culture. He made a play Thursday night when they needed it, just like everyone did last year."
Polee denied
The NCAA denied the petition by St. John's transfer Dwayne Polee to play immediately instead of sitting out the required season. Polee, who is from Los Angeles, said he transferred west to be closer to his mother, who recently underwent surgery for an undisclosed ailment.
"I was holding out hope but (the denial) was what we thought we were looking at," Fisher said. "But until we got an answer, we were holding out hope. The NCAA said it just wasn't compelling enough on either front, both from a financial standpoint and from a health standpoint."
It is the second NCAA petition the Aztecs have lost this year. In August, the NCAA denied a request by center Brian Carlwell for a sixth year of eligibility following a near-fatal car accident as a freshman at Illinois.
The NCAA traditionally has not granted hardship waivers for players in Polee's situation, although it did several times this year -- most notably with Lamont Jones transferring from Arizona to New York's Iona to be closer to his sick grandmother.
Polee now joins fellow Aztecs transfer J.J. O'Brien in being allowed to practice but not play in games this season.

PBG Jumps to One-Week High on Report Builder Selling More Assets
March 28 (Bloomberg) -- PBG SA climbed to a one-week high after PAP news service reported Poland's third-largest construction company is selling properties to help pay off debt.
The shares climbed 5.9 percent to 41.26 zloty, the highest since March 21, as of 10:16 a.m. in Warsaw, extending yesterday's 14 percent gain.
PBG's Galeria Kujawska real-estate unit has signed a preliminary agreement to sell properties for 122 million zloty ($39.3 million), PAP reported late yesterday, citing PBG spokeswoman Kinga Banaszak-Filipiak.
The builder needs to raise funds as payment delays and growing foreign competition for contracts sent net debt surging to 1.46 billion zloty at the end of 2011 from 585 million zloty the same period a year earlier, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

K1, good call...smart eye...my boat's hull design does remind the Mumm, (to some extent), being a race hull, and after a while, they all start to look similar, just like race cars.
There are, a few differences between the Mumm and my boat, but the principle is the same..
However, I have (proportionally), more beam, and the beamiest part is well after midships, while the Mumm's beamiest section is exactly midships. I also have less vertical surface on the bow, and my keel is placed at a different location, due to the difference in the bouyancy center. The V shape is also similar. My bow is pintier for a longer part than the Mumm.
I also have a slight convex rear hull section (behind keel) while the mumm is all concave.
I have a friend here that has a Mumm36, and it is significantly slower than my boat. It starts showing the signs of age, too. We also have a lower rating, which helps.
The sails are as follows:
Mainsail 586 to 592 SF (depending on the sail and purpose).
110% Genoa 389 to 400 S.F.
Spinnakers:Symetrical :around 1500 SF
Assymetrical: around 1450 SF
All round numbers.
The cruising sails are Dacron STD Lighter for the genoa, heavier for the main, the racing sails are Maxx Carbon regatta, and the Spinnakers are Superkote and Superkote matrix
Racing sails were designed specifically for her, I just chose the cloth and maker of cloth.

GLENDALE, AZ - JANUARY 21: Shea Weber #6 of the Nashville Predators skates with the puck during the NHL game against the Phoenix Coyotes at Jobing.com Arena on January 21, 2010 in Glendale, Arizona. The Coyotes defeated the Predators 4-2. (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images)
#11: Weber narrowly misses out on the Norris Trophy for the second year in a row In 2011, he lost to the legendary Nicklas Lidstrom by nine points. In 2012, he lost to the Ottawa Senators' Erik Karlsson by just 12. One of these days, Nashville Predators captain Shea Weber will win the Norris Trophy as the league's best defenseman. On this night, however, he was forced (most think unfairly) to take a back seat to someone else. The award often goes to the defenseman who's among the league leaders in scoring, as Karlsson was (he led all NHL rearguards with 78 points). Another legendary defenseman who never won the Norris was 13-time All-Star and three time Stanley Cup Champion Scott Stevens. "For the most part, it seems to go with the guy who's got a lot of points," Stevens told the New York Times back in 1998. "I don't think about it as much as I used to. I've been asked to play a certain role here, which doesn't help in that area. But I feel that gives the team a chance to win every

The hardest thing Nicole Lyons' ever had to do was climb into her race car on that crisp March afternoon in Phoenix.
The second hardest was looking out the window of her Burgundy 1967 Firebird as she rolled to the starting line in the biggest race of her life, and not seeing her father, famed Los Angeles street racer Jack Davis, a few feet away.
Barely a week had passed since Davis died from a brain aneurysm. It was hardly enough time for his only daughter to bid farewell to the coolest guy she'd ever known, let alone not have him with her on a race day.
It's difficult enough carrying the weight of being a pioneer of sorts - the 26-year old Lyons is an African- American female climbing the male-dominated ladder that leads to the riches and fame on the NHRA PowerAde drag racing series - but now the Sylmar native was doing it without her most trusted confidant.
Lyons was in Phoenix to make her debut on the Lucas Oil Division 7 in the SuperStreet bracket, the first step in what she is convinced will be a determined march to the big time of the PowerAde tour.
Everything Lyons and her father had done over the previous three months, all those nights practicing at race tracks around the Southland and the weekends spent at drag racing events throughout California, was aimed at success in Arizona and on the ambitious, pro-style, 24-race schedule the two devised for the coming year.
Only Jack Davis never made it Phoenix.
``It was very difficult and very stressful,'' Lyons said, the unmistakable sounds of a busy race shop clanging behind her. ``I'm used to him rolling me up to the line, and him being there every step of the way for me from beginning to end.''
When the race ended barely 10 seconds later, Lyons was celebrating a surprising victory over Rob Knoles, who finished 2004 as the third-best points earner in the Super Street Div. 7 bracket.
Meanwhile, fellow racers and fans strained their necks to get a glimpse of the guy who just toppled the third-best racer on the circuit.
They in for a surprise.
``Out climbs this beautiful 105-pound girl,'' said Tony Williams, Lyons' crew chief. ``And you could just here everybody go, `Whoa.' That was a response I'll never forget.''
Neither will Lyons, even though she knows she had some help that day.
``My dad was with me in that car, I know that for a fact,'' Lyons said. ``And he's been with me every time I've raced since. I know it. I can feel him.''
During a recent visit at Quarter Mile Performance race shop in Chatsworth, she feels a different kind of power. It is the 565 cubic inch, Dart Big ``M'' engine.
It's an extremely expensive piece of machinery - powerful enough to provide a 1,100 horse power thrust (compared to the 850 her first engine produced) and enable her race car to easily cover the track in eight seconds.
And it's going to help Lyons fulfill a dream she had since the first time her father pulled her into a race car when she was 2 years old: To reach the pro stock drag race circuit in the PowerAde Series.
``Between the big block and Nicole's driving skills, she's got a bright, bright future,'' said Mike Consolo, who helps run QMP race shop along with partner Brad Lagman. ``We're just excited to be a part of it.''
Just then, Lagman interrupts.
``Hopefully she won't forget all the little people,'' he said, laughing.
Lyons has climbed to 29th (out of 110 racers) on the Lucas Oil Division 7 series and earned three points toward qualifying for the NHRA Nationals Nov. 3-6 at Pamona Speedway.
Once there, Lyons will debut the new engine in her dad's box Chevy II Nova in the Super Comp bracket. The goal is to draw interest from deep-pocketed sponsors with some electrifying times. With the new engine, Lyons is confident she will post consistent 8.90s, and that might be enough to lure investors interested in backing a beautiful female drag racer with speed to burn.
The money might not be far off, considering all the attention she is drawing so far. Already she has met Harold Martin, a top IHRA racer, and Fred Simmonds, the head of General Motors drag racing. Together, they have helped Lyons map out a plan that could have her testing in a pro- stock at a PowerAde, perhaps by August.
In addition, she has hired a public-relations firm, done radio and TV promotions and fielded a call from MTV, which is showing interest in doing a potential reality show about her.
Martin sees a little of himself in Lyons.
``The thing that jumped out at me about her was her burning desire to succeed,'' Martin said. ``And she's got heart, and by that I mean she's not afraid when she's racing.''
Much like her father, who earned money in street racers throughout Los Angeles in the 1960s - some legal, some not - Lyons seems most comfortable in cars that move very fast.
Davis took Lyons for her first ride in a dragster when she was 2 years old, and her reaction stunned him: When the car finally came to a stop, she was squealing with delight. From then on, Lyons was the constant companion of her race driver dad, traveling up and down California and the West Coast in search of races.
``Picture a 6-year old girl coming up behind a racer while he's working on his car telling him exactly what he's got on the hood and that was Nicole.'' Williams said.
Eventually it was Lyons who climbed behind the wheel of a race car. Now that she's here, though, she'll have to do it without her dad's help.
``But I know he's with me,'' Lyons said. ``And watching over me.''
Nicole Lyons, a 26-year-old drag racer from Sylmar, shows off her new, souped up 1,100 horsepower Dart Big ``M'' racing engine.

Followers of Re-Define's recent publicly available work on Greece will know that: 1) we thought Syriza's election was good news both for Greece and for the EU 2) there would be a lot of noise and bluster, but that a compromise would eventually result, 3) the risk was always negligible and that of an "accidental" exit was zero, despite numbers such as 75% risk of Grexit pulled out of what can only be thin air by various "experts", 4) Syriza deserved to, and probably would get a chance to, prove its mettle.
Mercifully, it appears that we have been right, at least so far. The Troika, as we knew it, is dead.
Now that a "deal" has been reached, what do we make of its terms? Is it, as many are saying, "total capitulation" by Greece? A mere "name changing, not game changing" exercise? Or, is it something more substantial? Most important, does it leave Greece and the Eurozone better off?
There is something to the accusation, as articulated by Manolis Glezos, a respected Syriza MEP best known for having torn down the swastika from the Acropolis in 1941, that all that has happened is that the new euphemism for the Troika is "institutions". Syriza tried, but has failed so far, to get the OECD more deeply involved, particularly at the cost of the ECB and the European Commission. But more has changed than meets the eye. Syriza can only claim some of the credit for the changes.
It may be too early to pick winners, but Greece has fought a good fight. Syriza and its youthful leader Tsipras have kept their cool under unprecedented pressure. He, together with his charismatic Finance Minister Varoufakis, have come out as passionate pro-Europeans and have made many, often sensible and responsible, concessions to European partners by moving centre. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of these partners, given that Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the president of the Eurogroup and Wolfgang Schäuble, the German Finance Minister, have been bullying, bitter and often irresponsible with their comments. Fortunately, both are just supporting actors in the Greek drama.
Greece's fate will not turn on technicalities, but it will be the outcome of a 'great game' that has now begun. The European Council of leaders and the United States will provide the political anchor with the Commission, the IMF, the OECD and the ECB being the main economic actors. NATO will bring in the security angle and Russia, though absent, will undoubtedly loom large in negotiations.
Despite several unsubstantiated rumours and sometimes deliberate, attempts to discredit a popular new government, Syriza has done a fairly decent job despite having no previous experience of governing whatsoever. It has not stepped on any nuclear mines, nor done irreparable harm to either its domestic or international standing. Yes it has had a somewhat rocky start but that was to be expected in such turbulent times and stressed conditions.
Syriza has done the Eurozone a great service by finally forcing it to start a debate on a number of critical issues that Frau Merkel, dubbed by the Economist as the West's "greatest ditherer", has so far declined to discuss.
However, there are signs that things are changing and changing fast.
Mounting evidence of climate change and increasing estimates of how large a financial, economic and human development impact this will have is making it ever harder even for the most conservative central bankers so forswear responsibility. Financial regulators have begun to seriously think through the financial impact of stranded assets. Finance ministries are waking up to the extensive cost of fossil fuel subsidies and the tremendous opportunity offered by carbon and other environmental taxes. Long-term investors such as sovereign wealth funds are waking up not just to the financial risks posed by exposure to fossil fuel investments, but also to the tremendous financial opportunities offered by renewables and energy efficiency.
The excessive austerity that was imposed on Greece as a condition for the bailout made the debt problem worse, not better, by shrinking Greek GDP by a quarter, even as Greece cut down essential services to finance the build up of a primary surplus. The bailout package was not just financially unsustainable, but also economically wrong-headed, politically tone-deaf and socially callous. It has turned what was an aspiring first world country with third world institutions into a third world country with third world institutions. It has led to enormous personal suffering, triggered the rise of neo-Nazi movements, lain waste to productive capacity and created a cohort of the unemployed and the unemployable - a lost generation.
It has stretched Greece's social fabric to a breaking point and perverted the democratic rights of citizens by vetoing their political choices. What is remarkable is not that Greeks have voted for Syriza, a new anti-establishment party that vows to get a better deal for Greek people, take on the powerful Greek oligarchy and stand up to Germany and the Eurozone. What is remarkable is that it took so long for them to do so.

Asserting that he was in no way connected to the Adarsh housing society scam, ex-babu Uttam Khobragade strongly defended himself on Day 1 of his political career, projecting himself as an Ambedkerite and a leader of the Dalit community.
Khobragade, 63, who retried from service in 2011, joined the Republican Party of India (A) on Tuesday in presence of party chief Ramdas Athawale. RPI (A) had extended moral and political support to Khobragade when his daughter and diplomat Devyani was arrested in the US last December for alleged visa fraud. She was later released.
"Purchasing a flat in Adarsh society is not a crime, so don't defame me. Neither the judicial commission nor the three CBI charge sheets have indicted me. I did not touch a single file related to Adarsh," Khobragade said, lashing out at media persons during a press conference, when they asked party leaders about fielding Khobragade considering the controversy surrounding him.
A 1984 batch IAS officer of the Maharashtra cadre, who has served as Mhada CEO, he is seeking to contest from the Dharavi assembly seat, which is reserved for scheduled castes, and is currently held by Congress leader and minister of women and child development Varsha Gaikwad.
When asked why he joined RPI (A), Khobragade said, "I have always been an Ambedkerite, even when I was in service. Joining RPI (A) was a natural culmination of my 40 years of public service. Also, there is democracy within the party, which is what attracted me to it."
However, when asked about the caste factor's ability to win, especially since Dalit leaders Mayawati and Lalu Prasad Yadav's parties fell flat in the Lok Sabha elections, Khobragade said, "Dalit identity is not about winning elections, it is about uplifting the society, which is yet to come to mainstream despite all economic reforms."
Slamming Congress, Khobragade blamed the party for mishandling Devyani's case. Without hiding his bitterness, he said, "No Dalit, who has self-respect, would support Congress, which was leading the UPA government during my daughter's case. Congress also maligned our country's image globally by purchasing Rs2,500 crore worth military aircraft from the US post Devyani's case."

With the vocal backings of Bruno Mars and production from his team The Smeezingtons, the young Atlantic Records artist dissects relationships and how he's been effected by love. According to Simmons' Twitter, the uber-catchy Click Clack Away isn't his new single, nor does he plan to release it as such in the future.

No easy ride on 8th Street
Paging Mayor Recom Echiverri, please attend to the many potholes on 8th Street from Edsa to C-3. Bernard, Caloocan City
Big trucks block road
I would like to complain about the indiscriminate parking by 10- and 18-wheel trucks on both sides of the street in North Harbor. Fernando Duque, Malabon City
No exemptions
Cement mixer truck spotted on a "No Truck/Bus Entry" service road northbound from C5 going down to Bagong Ilog, Pasig. Traffic enforcers should strictly enforce this road sign without exemption. Jose, 49, Pasig City
More people-friendly footbridges, please
The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority should create more people-friendly overpasses or footbridges with roofs so citizens would not be burned in the hot sun or drenched in a downpour during the rainy season. Jay Lim, 29, Quezon City
