NEW DELHI, India, Oct. 27, 2009 – In support of the Indian Government's
Bharat Nirman
rural development agenda, BSNL, HCL and Intel Corporation today announced a series of wide-reaching initiatives to spur economic and educational opportunities in India by expanding access to wireless broadband Internet and affordable computers.
Intel and BSNL jointly will propagate wireless broadband Internet in what is intended to ultimately become a nationwide mobile WiMAX network. BSNL also will work with Intel and HCL to make available in India's rural regions WiMAX-capable nettop computers designed by the two companies and made in India by HCL using the Intel® Atom® processor.
A memorandum of understanding to start a WiMAX acceleration program was detailed today during a regional visit by Intel's President and Chief Executive Officer, Paul Otellini.
Lauding the initiatives, Shri Sachin Pilot, Hon'ble Minister of State for Communication and IT said, "The Internet is the force that will propel India into the next decade. We commend BSNL, HCL and Intel for coming together to accelerate wireless broadband Internet availability in India. This initiative has the potential to connect millions more Indians to 21st century digital opportunity, driving national growth in the process."
"This project is a significant step in making technology more affordable and accessible to create opportunity for many more Indians," said Otellini. "Intel is pleased to work with BSNL and HCL to innovate locally and help accelerate high-speed WiMAX wireless connections and computing across the country."
According to Shri Kuldeep Goyal, Chairman and Managing Director, BSNL, "Working with Intel for WiMAX market acceleration is a milestone in bringing fast and reliable Internet connectivity to much of India. We are extending mobile WiMAX to millions of people in rural India and, in the process, will bring a whole new meaning to bridging the digital divide in this country. Ultimately our vision is to make WiMAX available across all India. We are pleased to work with Intel to make this a reality."
Shri Ajai Chowdhry, Chairman and CEO, HCL Infosystems Ltd. said, "Growth in India's economy can be accelerated and made more inclusive by providing an impetus to PC and broadband penetration in rural areas. The Intel- and HCL-designed WiMAX-capable nettop is a cornerstone of our strategy for mass adoption of connected PCs, which in turn will have a multiplier effect on the nation's GDP."
The objective of today's agreement is to stimulate economic growth in India by encouraging the spread of mobile
, a long-range wireless technology, and affordable computing devices. BSNL, India's largest telecom service provider, is committed to deploy over time a mobile WiMAX network based on IEEE 802.16e specifications in the 2.5 GHz frequency band, in both rural and urban areas. Initial deployments will be in Kerala and Punjab. In tandem, Intel is committing to helping manufacturers provide WiMAX-capable nettops, netbooks, notebooks and smartphones for the BSNL network.
In the next several months BSNL and Intel will begin making available Intel- and HCL-designed WiMAX-capable nettops through BSNL's and HCL's retail outlets, and ultimately through Intel's network of channel partners across India. Intel today showcased a variety of HCL's WiMAX-capable computing devices.

COLUMBIA CITY — According to Whitley County Consolidated Schools Superintendent Dr. Patricia O'Connor, the ADM (Average Daily Membership) for WCCS is down with the number for total enrollment down 25.
"We had a large senior class graduating 292 and 241 first graders coming in so we have fifty-one kids right there," said O'Connor. "Then we've got ins and outs in each grade level, but nothing catastrophic."
O'Connor said there were also 15 students who graduated early as well as six exchange students.
"The good news is last year we had 243 kindergarten students and this year we have 280 kindergarten students," said O'Connor. "So on the plus side, we have 37 additional students."
While the district is down in enrollment numbers, O'Connor said the large number of kindergarten students is going to help WCCS receive additional funding.
"Another interesting statistic is we have 45 students from out of the district, and we have 91 preschool students, which is also good," said O'Connor.
As far as class sizes are concerned, O'Connor said WCCS is close to their target.
"The target size was between 18 and 22 for each class," said O'Connor. "If you look from school to school, we are in pretty good shape."
According to O'Connor, most classes that tend to be large are the advanced classes.

1.) How bad is the item shop in terms of p2w. How much gear, what levels, and how much better is it than drops, and do drops happen slower than before f2p?
2.) The mercenaries thing. I don't know much about it other than a paragraph I read. But this sounds like it makes grouping less frequent, or that population is so low you have to have them to get anything done. tell me if i am wrong.
3.) What is the highest pop server.
I miss fantasy mmorpgs, hate wow, so hopefully the answers here will be good. I have a hankering to roll up an ogre brawler :)

1. Item shop is not remotely p2w, assuming you are subbed. The only thing that comes close is heal potions, but even those cant be used in raid zones and Ive never met anyone that has bought one. Do note that the game is designed to be a subscription game though, so you might call it sub to win. You can see 95% of the content the game has to offer without paying a cent, but to do the max level stuff your options will be sub or to buy gear/spell unlockers. The gear/spell unlockers are cheap, but youll you will use a lot early on. As time goes by if you are only playing one toon it will average out to be pretty cheap. But really, if you enjoy the game subbing is the way to go. There is no actual gear in the item shop though.
2. Its an 8 year old, top heavy game. The population is pretty solid at max level on any of the servers, but below max level its as you would expect from a game EQ2's age. If you play on AB or Freeport and are social you can get low level groups, but being social is a must, they wont fall into your lap (the ingame dungeon finder is garbage). But EQ2 is very much a solo friendly game and there are even solo instances (that are actually fairly tough for non raiders). But there are plenty of group options too.
3. Antonia Bayle and Freeport are the two high pop servers. at 12:20 eastern time all the other NA servers besides those two are medium. The EQ2 population appears to be growing, or at least stable. The hardcore raiders are unhappy with the game's last few expansions, but the rest of the population seems to be having fun
There is a guild on AB called I N S T I N C T made of mostly MMORPG.com posters that started 2 weeks ago with everyone as level 1. I was running around the other day and saw a bunch of em headed to crushbone, so guessing good group opportunities there.

I saw your post in the INSTINCT thread, but ill add this here:
Expansions: There are 3 expansions not included for free. they are: DoV, CoE and AoD.
DoV and CoE are a bundle now, and they are the 90-95 content. AoD is more of a 'feature pack', which contains the Beastlord class and the mercs, as well as the dungeon maker and (I think) tradeskill apprentices. The mercs are nice but hardly essential, so really its up to you if you want to buy any of them at all. You can wait til you are 90 and make your decisions then

"Toss me!"
Everquest 2 is really a gem and still after years of playing other mmorpgs (also tried over 50+ others), this game is my favorite! It has everything! Great community, top-notch atmosphere, awesome dungeons, housing, roleplay, events, dungeon-making (make your own dungeon!), raids, crafting, a huge world and much more! I am really in love with this game and have been that for over a year now, which is VERY rare for me! ;)
So, back to your questions!
1. The itemshop is not P2W at all, but as the other said, more like Sub2Win. The shop can provide you with fancy looking gear, cool mounts, housing items and other fluff items. Nothing you need to enjoy the game fully!
2. Mercenaries (Age of Discovery expansion) are not needed, BUT they are very helpfull! I am a healer, so my dps is not that good, but the mercs nuke them down for me, while I heal them or stand beside doing some damage. The expansion also includes the dungeon maker. For me, it was well worth the money!
3. Freeport and Antonia Bayle, are the most populated servers and the population is almost the same, on both servers. I have met some great people over the year on the Freeport server and only 3 douchbags/idiots, which also is VERY rare! I don't know how Antonia Bayle is, but I guess those servers are pretty much the same community-wise!
I hope you will have a great time in Everquest 2, even what path you take!
PS: If you take Freeport, send a messege to Sulfury and I can help ya out!
Good luck! :)

Sure, you have a lot of excuses as to why you can't do anything but your full-time job.
Yes, it is very confusing to figure out how to transition from working in house to working at home.
One way to bridge the gap is to create your very own independent project.
*The following post contains adult subject matter and links to sites with adult language. If you wish to leave, you may want to go here.*
[This is part of a series -- "30 Days of Freelancing": 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]
TIP #1: Freedom is the enemy of work.
The main reason I do independent projects is that I can't stand being told what to do. In fact, if you said to me, "Why, Susannah, do you do ___?" The answer would probably be, "Because I can't stand being told what to do." You could call it a guiding force.
Doing an independent project means: you get to be your own boss, no one can tell you what to do, your creativity can run wild.
These are things that are great for your project, and they are ways of being in the world that are important.
Those who should not do independent projects include those who: don't like to be their own boss, enjoy being told what to do, are not creative.
TIP #2: Be irrational.
In 2008, I created Letters from Johns, a one-year digital project featuring anonymous emails from men who paid for sex.
Why did I do this? I have no idea.
A few months after it launched Eliot Spitzer was caught with a call girl, and the project became timely.
Recently, I launched Interviews with Johns, a digital project featuring interviews with anonymous johns about their lives.
Each interview is titled according to the occupation of the john: The Entrepreneur, The Teacher, The Correctional Officer.
I'm particularly interested in how their work relates to their "hobby," if at all.
Why did I create this project? I have no idea.
TIP #3: You just ran out of excuses.
Creating an independent project and sharing it with the world is not hard. It's easy.
You could illustrate Craigslist ads.
You could yarn bomb.
You could have coffee with 52 people.
Or you could post about freelancing every day for a month. Who knows? You might learn something.
[This is part of a series -- "30 Days of Freelancing": 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27]

My family don't like my being a musician....

Re: My family don't like my being a musician....
I had sort of the same problem growing up, except both my parents, my older bro and I, plus all the immediate family were Christians. It wasn't about religion, it was about me as an individual. You see, my parents were older than most when they had kids, so we had that WWII mentality, the Depression, etc. In Texas, you walked the line and didn't step out of line, or else!! It was all about tradition and not "rocking the boat",so to speak. When my dad passed away, my mother sort of tried to keep me around, not let me do anything, let me go anywhere, etc. School, church, and maybe a social function or two, but that was it. And I damn sure wasn't going to move out or move away, at least that was the opinion of every adult around me. My drums and several really close friends were about all I had to keep me sane.
Looking back, hind sight and all, it was that age between about 18 - 23 that was the most difficult. People trying to control, manipulte, and demand what
wanted my life to be. That in itself really screws up someone - an individual not being allowed to be himself or herself. Don't get me wrong, I loved my parents very much, but at that age instead of having fu**ing EVERYONE trying to control what I did, I should have been encouraged to step out, explore, and try things to see what I like and dislike.
My advice is: GET OUTTA THE HOUSE AND FIND YOUR OWN PLACE!!!!
Eventually, that is the only way everyone around you will finally accept who you are and what you want. If it takes co-oping with several of your buddies to afford an apartment, do it. In the long run, you'll be glad you did and be stronger for it.
Good luck.
I don't aim to be the best, just the best looking.

Reading routines: what's yours?
January 17, 2014 | 6:09 pm
By Joanna Cabot
A link in today's morning roundup featured a great quote from productivity guru Merlin Mann—"Don't just play with your phone. Go out and produce something." It spoke to me because one of my goals for the year is to spend less time goofing around on my phone playing Temple Run, and more time reading, writing and doing useful (and satisfying) things. I've tried to structure my downtime a little more efficiently lately, and I've actually gotten into a pretty good groove with my reading routines. I love hearing about what and how other people read, too. I'll share mine. Feel free to comment and share yours.
1) Morning Commute
This is my first 'downtime' of the day and I typically use it to catch up on my RSS news feeds. I write the morning links post when I get to work, so I bookmark the articles I want to keep while I'm on the bus. I take three busses, but for very short distances, so I don't have time to get into something complex. Skimming through the night's Feedly accumulation is the perfect task at this hour.
2) Lunchtime
We have an hour for lunch, but half of it is usually taken up with supervision duties. I try and eat with a few co-workers and have a break when I can, but there are two days where my duties occur during the first half of lunch and I have to eat on my own later. On those days, I usually read the paper while I eat. There is often one in the staffroom lying around!
3) Evening Commute
I take a different route in the evenings because I can get a bus which takes me right home, but that often involves a 15-minute wait at the subway. So I've loaded the book of daily essays I'm reading onto my iBooks app and usually read that. I've found that e-ink has spoiled me a little and I don't love reading for much longer than that on my super-bright phone, and I also get a little queasy reading on a moving bus for much longer than that. With that said, I am enjoying having this daily small reading task, and this is a perfect time to fit it in. I allow myself to play for the rest of the ride home if I want to!
4) Evening
This is my main reading time. On a perfect day, I have a few minutes to unwind and read a chapter or two before I start my 'chores' (making dinner and getting in a workout). Then I split my night between writing stuff, a little more reading and any other little projects I'm working on, before tucking in with the Beloved for some Netflix time before bed. Sometimes, he's more tired than I am. If he calls it a night before ten or so, I'll go back out into the living room, tuck with my Kobo and a blanket and read for another half hour or so.
And there we have it! A typical reading day in my life. How about you?

Tutorial Tuesday: How to Use the Send to Kindle App
Michelle Rhee is just as clueless about e-books as she is about 'school reform'
1) Morning: Audiobooks on iPhone
10 minutes dog walking. 10 to 15 minutes morning chores. 20 minuets commute.
2) Lunch: Audiobooks
I eat lunch at my desk most of the time, but once or twice a week I go out and get 20 to 40 minuets. It's a flexible schedule.
3) Evening: Audiobooks
25 minute commute. 20 minute dog walk – this can stretch up to 50 minutes in the summer. 10 to 40 minutes on evening chores – the amount of dishes to wash or trash nights can add up time.
4) Night: ebooks or books
I usually have a solid hour or two for pure reading – sometimes a little more, especially if I stay up late. I rarely watch TV anymore unless there is a special event like the Presidental debates. I'll watch maybe half a dozen movies in a year and that is almost always on the weekends.
What it comes down to:
About 45 to 50 hours of audiobooks per month. An average of 6 to 8 books read per month.
I wake up around 5:00 and read in bed on my mini ipad for an hour or so and then pick up at night for an hour before going to sleep. I mainly read on my iPad now and prefer to print. I don't agree with the distraction theorists who support paper. The time is right there small top of iPad so I know when I need to get up and instead of getting up to answer an old landline call I can see while reading the book who just texted me and keep reading and get to the message as needed later. It truly feels like major human progress. Large fonts, sepia background easy on the eyes.

After a group of New Yorkers took to Facebook to complain about the non-profit they all worked for, the non-profit took action to rectify the situation — by firing the five discontent employees. They took their case to the National Labor Relations Board, and now a NLRB judge has ruled that National Hispanics of Buffalo has to hire the Facebook venters back along with back-pay.
Employers, take note. The NLRB has recently been outspoken about when employers can and can't retaliate against employees over their perceived social media misbehavior. Private employers have to respect workers' right to "protected concerted activity" — in other words, the right to talk among themselves about
horrible working conditions — per the National Labor Relations Act. In the case of the New York non-profiteers, administrative law judge Arnold Amchan ruled that after-hours Facebook wall complaints about being over-worked constituted legitimate "concerted activity."
After Mariana Cole-Rivera posted a status update about a co-worker who accused her of not doing enough for her impoverished clients, other co-workers chimed in to make comments such as, "What the f… Try doing my job. I have 5 programs," "Tell her to come do [my] f***ing job n c if I don't do enough, this is just dum," and "I think we should give our paychecks to our clients so they can 'pay' the rent…(insert sarcasm here now)."
The defamed co-worker saw the messages (doh!) and passed them along to a supervisor. In firing the vocal Facebook users, the supervisor cited the company social media policy's ban on cyber harassment of co-workers. This all took place in October 2010, and the non-profit has not since replaced the workers, instead distributing their tasks to others.
The judge decided that the heated Facebook conversation did not constitute harassment and that the non-profit erred in de-friending the workers. "Employees have a protected right to discuss matters affecting their employment amongst themselves," wrote Judge Amchan in his decision [pdf], which orders the non-profit to rehire all five workers and make them "whole for any loss of earnings" suffered. As Inc. notes, this is the first NLRB case regarding social media use that doesn't involve union workers.
Employees, while taking note of the fact that you do have a bit of protection from workplace firings over after-hours Facebooking, do also take note of the fact that this situation might have been avoided if these five had simply not friended the co-worker they didn't like, and had their privacy settings such that she couldn't see what they had written.

Preview Abstract MathJax On | Off Abstract
Nathan Brewer
(Sigma Pi Sigma/SPS- Union University)
In an experiment performed by P. Armentrout (Int. Rev. Phys. Chem. \textbf{1990}, $9$, 115), the Al$^{+}$ cation was accelerated into the various isotopic combinations of H$_{2}$ to form AlH$^{+}$ and AlD$^{+}$. It was found that the product-forming reactions proceed very inefficiently. The experiments also showed a reduction of $\sim $29{\%} in the threshold for the formation of AlD$^{+}$ from the HD reactant whereas all other AlH$^{+}$ and AlD$^{+}$ products formed at the same energetic threshold. Four previous theoretical attempts at capturing this unusual phenomenon have not been successful. The lowest energy singlet surfaces for the reaction of Al$^{+}$ with H$_{2}$ have been calculated at the multi-reference configuration interaction (MRCI) level of theory. The real/imaginary boundary of the symmetry-breaking b$_{2}$ vibrational mode was examined in three dimensions using Hessian matrices computed at a multi-configurational self-consistent field (MCSCF) level of theory. Molecular dynamic simulations numbering on the order of 10$^{7}$ were performed, sampling initial conditions reflective of the experiments. The simulations were run until they reached the location where the b$_{2}$ vibrational mode became unbound. A dissociation model was applied at these greatly compressed geometries to model the dissociation into AlH$^{+}$ and AlD$^{+}$ products.

levels, and public health departments have essential roles in informing and mobilizing public- and private-sector efforts.
The U.S. public health infrastructure—the constellation that includes federal, state, and local public health agencies, laboratories, and information technology and surveillance networks—is fragmented and lacks the resources necessary to carry out its roles effectively and ensure a basic level of health protection for all Americans. Historically, public health responsibilities emerged as primarily locally- and state-based, with the federal government intervening in the course of some epidemics. At the federal level, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) came together in piecemeal fashion in the 20th century, as discussed in more detail in the 2003 IOM report on the future of the public's health. Today, this highly complex infrastructure is supported by diminishing resources, and that poses grave threats to and the loss of important opportunities for the nation's health. Over 52,200 combined state and local public health jobs have been lost since 2008 (17 percent of the state and territorial public health workforce and 22 percent of the local public health workforce [ASTHO, 2012]).
The underinvestment in public health has ramifications for the nation's overall health status, for its financially-strained health care delivery system, and, the committee argues, for its economic vitality and global competitiveness. Although 2012 is a challenging time in national and world economic history, the nation's portfolio of investments in health must be reconsidered and rebalanced to lead the way toward an invigorated "health system," economy, and society. In referring to the nation's health system,2 the committee means not only the component that delivers medical care, but the intersectoral system that was first introduced in the 2003 report The Future of the Public's Health in the 21st Century (IOM, 2003) and that comprises the governmental public health agencies and various partners, including communities, the health care delivery system, employers and businesses, the mass media, and the education sector.
At a time when expenditures on medical care are limiting its ability to make crucial investments in other arenas that are critical for the quality of life and economic health of Americans, the committee believes that a strong governmental public health infrastructure can mobilize strategies that reduce the occurrence of disease and injury, offset the need for ever-
2In its report on measurement, the system was redefined by the committee as simply "the health system" because "the modifiers public and population are poorly understood by most people other than public health professionals and may have made it easier to misinterpret or overlook the collective influence and responsibility that all sectors have for creating and sustaining the conditions necessary for health. In describing and using the term the health system, the committee [sought] to reinstate the proper and evidence-based understanding of health as not merely the result of medical or clinical care but the result of the sum of what we do as a society to create the conditions in which people can be healthy (IOM, 1988)" (IOM, 2011b).

text: A day after Coach Adam Oates described his team as "fragile," the Washington Capitals finally found the ability to fight back. Instead of waiting for things to go their way, they forced circumstances to bend in their favor, but ultimately the result was the same. Mike Ribeiro and Mike Green scored in the final 7 minutes and 15 seconds of regulation to tie the game and force overtime against the New Jersey Devils on Friday night, but the Capitals couldn't complete the rally. Ilya Kovalchuk scored with 20.5 seconds remaining in the extra session to hand Washington a 3-2 loss, dropping the visitors to 0-3-1.

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2006 Survey forms will go out in the mail this week to 10,000 servicemembers and Department of Defense civilian employees overseas to determine what they're looking for in radio programming provided by American Forces Network.
The survey will help American Forces Radio and Television Service, AFN's parent organization, provide better radio programming of music, news and talk that lives up to its audience's desires, Warren Lee, AFRTS plans and operations officer, said in an interview. The goal, he said, is "to serve our overseas audience with the information and entertainment that they want and need to hear -- the way they want to hear it, when they want to do it."
AFRTS last surveyed its worldwide audience in 2002, but this is the first audience survey dedicated specifically to radio listeners.
"I expect the information we glean from this survey will enable us to update our radio services to provide programming that our worldwide audience thinks is important to them in their personal and professional lives," Melvin Russell, AFRTS director, said. "Radio provides an important service to our mobile audience overseas, so it's important to gauge their needs and desires."
To meet that goal, survey forms are being mailed directly to DoD employees stationed or employed in countries where American Forces Radio and Television Service operates local radio stations, Lee said. Troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, who aren't at their permanent mailing addresses, will get their survey forms through military Morale, Welfare and Recreation officials at MWR facilities, dining facilities and other common areas, he said.
Those asked to participate in the survey can fill out the form and mail it back at no cost in the postage-paid envelope that accompanies it or respond on the Internet using the access code provided with the hard-copy survey. AFRTS hopes to receive survey responses by mid-February and will provide feedback about results through local AFN stations during May.

Excitement reigned on the sidewalk outside The Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University on Saturday night as the 4th Annual Philadelphia Geek Awards got underway. Guests, nominees, and presenters walked the red carpet and posed for photographers before heading into the museum to enjoy the the 90-minute cocktail reception held among the many fascinating exhibits in the museum including full sized dinosaurs, fossils, live butterflies and animal dioramas. Some 400 guests were dressed in "Geek Chic" and ready to party.
The Academy staff was also circulating with live snakes, owls, lizards, and bugs, and many people — including yours truly — took #Selfies to share with the world on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook (#PhillyGeekAwards). Then the moment arrived when Geekadelphia co-founder Eric Smith and editor Mikey Ilagan opened up the ceremony with witty banter and gracious appreciation of the sold-out crowd.
Throughout the 90-minute ceremony, awards were given and the audience was entertained by the humor of the presenters and winners. Those geeks are smart and funny. The after-party was held at North Bowl, and was well attended. Many of the ladies told me they were excited to take off the heels and slip into some comfortable bowling shoes.

The case will now go to a grand jury, which will have 10 days to decide whether to indict him.
Griego, 15, is accused of shooting and killing his father, mother and three young siblings early Saturday at their home in the South Valley.
He was not in court Tuesday.
The office of district attorney Kari Brandenburg said Tuesday it plans to charge Griego as an adult in the killings.
She will hold a news conference at 3 p.m. Tuesday to discuss the Griego case.

I need your prays
by, 03-20-2010 at 09:13 AM (1722 Views)
It is a sad day for me. Friday morning my wife took our 8 month old baby girl to the doctor with a fever. She was diagnosed with a UTI, and a renal ultrasound was ordered. The ultrasound showed infection within one of her kidneys, and she was quickly admitted into the hospital. She is expected to be in the hospital for at least 3 days on iv antibiotics. The whole mess is scarring the hell out of me. The doctors have several follow up tests in mind, and it seems this could become a long term ordeal. So if you have time, say a pray for my little Riley.
Thank You

Innovation vs Regulation Part 2
April 22, 2014
Following on from my last post on the relationship between innovation and regulation the nice people at Virgin asked me to do a guest piece for the Virgin Disruptor's website, you can see it here: http://www.virgin.com/disruptors/do-regulations-place-innovation-in-a-straitjacket-or-give-it-wings
I used the example of how Colin Chapman created a huge opportunity for Lotus and, as it turned out, the British motorsport industry when he had to adapt to the change in engine regulations back in 1966. My point was that you can see regulatory change as a threat or an opportunity, and it is those that focus on the opportunity who will ultimately succeed. Just look at Mercedes in F1 at present. It would be wrong to think that the reason for Mercedes' current dominance was that they are just lucky enough to have a good power unit – the decisions that brought about their current success were taken some time ago, choices made to focus on car and power unit for 2014 were taken back in 2012 and are now bringing the success they hoped for. Of course many of these choices were made by Ross Brawn who is not the one enjoying the current accolades, but presumably enjoying a spot of quiet fishing somewhere. I'm sure that this hasn't gone unnoticed and I'm sure that, should he wish to, there are one or two openings for him to do the same again elsewhere.
The importance of data: #F1 Power units for 2014
February 21, 2013
Luca Marmorini, Ferrari's Head of Engines, has been quoted in Autosport.com as saying that it is important that Ferrari have a second (ie in addition to Sauber) customer for their 2014 power unit – note the term 'power unit' as effectively these are engine + energy recovery systems, so the simple term 'engine' no longer seems to do it justice.
The reason for this concern is that their current second customer Toro Rosso have recently announced that they will be shifting to a Renault power unit in 2014, which makes sense organizationally as they are co-owned by Dietrich Mateschitz of Red Bull with Red Bull Racing, so presumably they can share more data during development and racing and therefore improve the performance of both teams. However Toro Rosso's location in Faenza makes Maranello the ideal partner from a logistical point of view as they are literally a few kilometres down the road. Location matters in F1, otherwise we wouldn't have Motorsport Valley in the UK, and so the proximity between the power unit supplier and customer cannot be ignored. For this reason, Marmorini hopes that all is not lost with Toro Rosso and that they may review their decision to go to Renault, as he says on the Autosport site: "I don't know if Toro Rosso will be with us next year. We are still working very well with them now. They're an important contribution to Ferrari engine development, but I also think we are giving them a competitive engine."
A key factor in this is data. Derek Gardner, the now sadly departed designer of the six wheel Tyrrell, told me that a key problem that they had with the six wheeler was the speed of development of the front tyres, which were far smaller than the standard F1 front tyre that Goodyear supplied to all the other teams. As a consequence they were getting far less data on the performance of the tyre – as it was only fitted to two cars and so were unable to develop it as fast as the other which had feedback from twenty four cars (there were 13 teams racing back in 1976). Data therefore is everything if you want to improve performance.
So currently it seems (and things could still move around a fair bit) that if Toro Rosso move to Renault then Renault will be the leading supplier with power units in five teams: Red Bull Racing; Toro Rosso; Lotus; Williams and Caterham. Mercedes will be supplying power units to three teams: their works team plus McLaren and Force India. Ferrari will be supplying two teams – themselves and Sauber. It seems very unlikely that Cosworth, who currently supply Marussia, will be in the frame for 2014 (but never say never) and so who knows, we may see Ferrari supplying the power unit for Marussia, which will make an interesting dynamic in their race with Caterham to tenth place.
The Future of FOTA
December 7, 2011
The news that both Ferrari and Red Bull Racing are planning to withdraw from FOTA has led many to suggest that this is the end of the team's association. Clearly it is better for the teams to act as one if they wish to get a bigger share of the FOM revenues, but as seems to always happen, self interest is the decider at the end of the day. They are all agreed that they want to reduce costs – doesn't any organisation? The important question is therefore how do you do it? When you've got your own bespoke test track then a ban on testing means you can't use one of your key assets to improve your performance, so you can see why Ferrari would feel that being in FOTA isn't in their best interests, RBR are in a different situation where their business model is a very different one to the other teams, so, again it may make better sense for them to go their own way. Of course we also have HRT who were the first to leave FOTA back in January 2011. The other reason rumoured for the departure of Ferrari and Red Bull Racing is the issue of third (or fourth) cars where constructors are allowed to sell/loan their cars to other teams, a practice well used in the 1950 and 60s. Stirling Moss's legendary victory for Lotus at Monaco in 1960 was not achieved for Lotus Racing, but for Rob Walker's private team using a Lotus 18. This is an issue which FOTA has been divided on and it could be argued that building more cars would effectively reduce the costs of certain teams such as Ferrari and also for RBR, whose original concept was to provide cars for Scuderia Toro Rosso. It's just a very different way of achieving the same objective.
However regardless of the reasons for Ferrari and RBR to leave the team's association, does this spell the end of FOTA? As history has a habit of repeating itself, it is interesting to note that in the controversies around previous Concorde Agreements, there were three teams who were united in refusing to sign up to the fourth agreement which was due to run from 1997 to 2002. They were McLaren, Williams and Tyrrell. In many ways it was this stand that led to the financial demise of the Tyrrell organisation, a team who had dominated F1 in the late sixties/ early seventies. Eventually a revised, fifth, agreement was drawn up which included the three teams and was to run from 1998 to 2007. The current (sixth) agreement is to run until the end of 2012, and this is where the negotiations are focused. The point of history is that the three teams who resisted the fourth Concorde Agreement are very much at the heart of FOTA today, McLaren providing the chairman, Williams a committed participant and the team that was originally Tyrrell Racing has now morphed into Mercedes GP (sorry Mercedes AMG GP!), via spells as British American Racing and Honda, with senior management team Nick Fry and Ross Brawn very much committed to FOTA. So even if FOTA doesn't represent all the F1 teams, it may represent a significantly powerful voice that can influence the terms of the seventh Concorde Agreement, if it holds together.
Reflections from Oz 2011 and lessons from Bahrain 2010
March 29, 2011
So with things now underway for the 2011 season do we now have a clear picture has to how the season will pan out? If we take the lessons from Bahrain in 2010 then the answer has to be no. As you may recall the Bahrain 2010 race was pretty boring and suggested that all the changes for that year hadn't really worked, but what we ended up with was one of the most exciting F1 seasons ever. So Australia was not the most exciting race, a number of teams (RBR and McLaren) appeared to be continuing their 2010 form, a number of teams seemed to have fallen back (Mercedes and Williams), whereas some had moved forwards (Renault aka Lotus Genii), the Pirelli tyres seemed to be a lot more durable than anyone had anticipated, Sergio Perez looks like being the new find of the year and Martin Brundle got things off to a good start in his role as BBC ubercommentator.
The key lesson from Bahrain 2010 seemed to be that one race is never sufficient to pick up on trends through the season. Back in 2009 everyone was writing off KERS (particularly strong advocates BMW discarded their system), but Ferrari and McLaren got theirs to really deliver as the season developed, so there's no reason to believe that this won't be the case in 2011. The thing that the teams need is feedback to understand what is working and what isn't and they will now be absorbing all the lessons from the first Grand Prix of the year to put into the second, and the third.. and so on.
So the main lesson is let's give it a few more races before we jump to any conclusions.
The importance of being branded: The fight for the Lotus legacy
September 29, 2010
The current dispute between Tony Fernandes' Lotus F1 team and Group Lotus, owned by Proton cars, underlines the importance of brands and who owns them. Formula 1 is a brand business, F1 itself is owned by CVC Capital Partners, a brand which they protect and enforce in order to make significant returns on their investment. But even Formula 1 is secondary, in terms of global presence, to its most successful team – Ferrari, and it is the Ferrari brand that provides an example to all in F1 as to what can be achieved from fast cars and motorsport. Of course the irony is that Enzo Ferrari wasn't interested in building brands, he just wanted to win races and his road car operation was only there to fund the race team – the exact opposite of the other automotive manufacturers who have typically looked to F1 to help them sell road cars. And it is probably for this reason that the Ferrari brand has always been so different and so enigmatic.
A number of teams have attempted to emulate Ferrari, the most recent being McLaren. McLaren's foray into high value road cars and other luxury items such as audio systems have underlined McLaren Group's aspiration to become a global brand to the same value and impact as Ferrari. There is clearly a long way for them to go, but their recent move away from the Mercedes brand and their focus on a new road car, the McLaren MP4-12C, has indicated a clear strategy where the F1 team is a key element, but not the only component in a brand building activity.
Enzo Ferrari was famously contemptuous about the British constructors during the sixties and seventies, referring to them as garagistes and assemblatori, in other words he did not consider them to be proper race car manufacturers, but it was also recognised that the one person he really respected was Lotus founder Colin Chapman, you only need to read Enzo's foreword to Jabby Crombac's excellent book on Chapman, "Colin Chapman: The Man and His Cars" to recognise this. Chapman's Lotus was the thorn in Ferrari's side during both their heydays from the sixties through to the late seventies. The most remarkable thing about Chapman was that he was not only a very capable leader and negotiator as, of course, was Enzo, but he was also a brilliant engineer. If you track the evolution of the F1 car from 1960 through to 1980 the majority of the major innovations and trends were down to Colin Chapman. The Lotus team were famous for their 'all-nighters' during this time and we are not talking about partying until the small hours, but working on the cars, rebuilding and modifying through the night to ensure that Chapman's latest tweaks and ideas were incorporated in the car before the race. During this period Lotus was the name and brand that was equal to, and often beating Ferrari. And like Ferrari, Lotus also had a flourishing road car business, focusing on both tuning existing mass produced cars such as the Lotus Cortina with Ford and the Lotus Sunbeam with Chrysler, and producing light, innovative sports cars such as the Lotus Elan and Lotus Elite. They were in a different space to Ferrari, less of the luxury and more of the fun and performance.
And so today what we see between Tony Fernandes' Lotus F1 team and Malaysian car manufacturer Proton's Group Lotus is a battle for the Chapman legacy. Proton acquired and rescued the ailing Lotus company in 1996. Through investment in new products such as the Lotus Elise they sought to regain the ethos and spirit of Lotus, with a relatively low cost sports car that acquitted itself well on the racetrack and also used innovative technologies such as a bonded aluminium chassis. Certainly in rebuilding the business they did not see F1 as an essential ingredient, and focusing at the club level they have rebuilt the Lotus motorsport presence. Then along comes Tony Fernandes and Mike Gascoyne with a vision and passion to rebuild the Lotus F1 team, locating in Norfolk and using the Lotus name licensed from Group Lotus. The new team is very much the best of the new entrants it has impressed on the paddock and (most importantly) Bernie Ecclestone that they mean business and are here to stay. In reaction to this event Group Lotus appear to realise that there is an opportunity here, they recruit Dany Bahr from Ferrari to help build up their brand, who then brings in a number of Ferrari personnel and then start to look at running their own GP2 race teams in conjunction with ART and Felipe Massa's manager Nicolas Todt. The licensing deal with Tony Fernandes falls apart and now the lawyers are going to get rich.
Of course this is all about ego and power, something that crops up in F1 rather frequently. But isn't it a real shame that they can't work together and, as in the old days, have both Group Lotus and Team Lotus working off each other, driving forward the Lotus name to become a global brand exemplifying fast cars, high performance and competition? Perhaps good sense will ultimately prevail and if they are able to work together maybe they'll even have Ferrari worried.
Michael Schumacher and Ross Brawn to leave Mercedes by the end of the year: Is this another correct prediction by Eddie Jordan?
September 15, 2010
To many of the current fans of F1 Eddie Jordan is just another pundit on our TV screens, perhaps overplaying his part at times, but providing a distinctive approach and voice to F1 broadcasting. However the other thing to remember about Eddie is that there is much beneath the Irish caricature he portrays and although he is undoubtedly entertaining, he also knows a thing or two about how things work and what is really happening in F1. My first meeting with Eddie took place at the San Marino Grand Prix of 2004 when Ken Pasternak, Richard West and myself were interviewing a range of team bosses and movers and shakers for the first edition of 'Performance at the Limit'. I well remember our visit to the bright yellow Jordan motorhome. Eddie remarking to Richard, on seeing his Oyster Rolex, that he was obviously being paid too much, Richard didn't have the heart to tell him he'd paid a few dollars for it in a market in Shanghai, but the best bit was when we were interviewing Eddie in his suite upstairs, and Ken asked Eddie how he went about selecting drivers for his team, perhaps hoping for some details of psychometric tests, Ken was rather taken aback when Eddie leaned forward and fixed him with a manic stare – 'I look them in the xxxxing eyes', he said slowly, leaning ever closer to Ken, who was now moving back as far as he could manage, 'and I ask them, have you got what it xxxxing takes?', still moving forward, Ken still moving back 'have you got the xxxxing balls to make it?' at this point Ken was virtually climbing backwards out of the window, Eddie chuckled and satisfied with the reaction relaxed back into his seat.
If we look back to this time last year when the rumours of a return to F1 by Michael Schumacher were building up – who was the person that actually broke the story that, even after being unable to replace Felipe Massa at Ferrari in 2009, Michael was planning to return to Mercedes in 2010? It was Eddie Jordan. Well Eddie now has an update to the story which he has posted on the BBC F1 website and it has two aspects to it. The first is that Michael is now changing his mind about continuing with F1 into 2011, and the second is an even bigger bombshell: that due to disagreements with Mercedes management Ross Brawn may also not continue with the team. Now clearly counter-arguments can be put to both of these, and indeed I've also blogged as to why I think Michael will stay for 2011, and of course some of this could be part of a negotiation process. But if Ross walks out that would be a significantly different dimension and one in which it may be easier for Michael to also decide to go too. All of this is conjecture of course, but don't forget, Eddie Jordan has been right before.
What's in a name? Why some of the F1 teams may be renaming themselves
September 6, 2010
The commercial rights for Formula 1 are held by Bernie Ecclestone's Formula One Group which is owned by CVC Capital Partners. I've heard on the grapevine that the new Concorde Agreement (the one that all the teams are currently focusing on to carry on from 2013) is likely to stipulate that any team using the terms Formula 1 or F1 in their name will be required to pay a licensing fee to FOG. A quick review of the full names of the teams on the official F1 site shows that this could effect 'Mercedes GP Petronas F1 Team', 'Renault F1 Team', 'Force India F1 Team', 'BMW (yes it's still there!) Sauber F1 Team' and 'HRT F1 Team'. The implications are that if a team wants to avoid paying significant sums to FOG then they may need to come up with a new name before 2013.
All of this suggests (as previously blogged) a tightening up of FOG's position on the rights to use and promote the F1 brand and use the paddock area, for example the team's having to remove their tractor units from the paddock if they had decals of brands which had not paid to be advertised in the paddock. Perhaps I need to look at renaming my blog?

Diamond-encrusted performance by talented young musicians
Posted: June 07, 2012|
THE rich musical talent of youngsters associated with Caistor impressed the audience so much they earned a well-deserved standing ovation.
This lunchtime concert at St Peter and St Paul's Church was part of a hive of jubilee weekend activity, under the collective banner Caistor Goes Diamond.
Aged 9 to 18, they thrilled with their instrumental dexterity and vocal prowess whilst presenting an entertaining programme featuring music composed during the Queen's life.
The title piece from the movie Ladies In Lavender, starring two great dames of British theatre, was a superb choice to open the concert and featured violinist Megan Thompson.
Naturally, music has the capacity to induce many emotions and Ailsa Mc Ternan's vocal delivery of I Could Have Danced All Night did precisely that.
She succeeded in reducing Clare Russell, one of the driving forces behind the concert, to tears of pride.
Meanwhile, there was a sense of wonderment when 11-year-old Alexander Sedman took to the piano and amazed us with his performance of two atmospheric compositions.
There have been plenty of reminders, in recent days, of the Queen dedicating her entire life to our service.
So, even though composed shortly before her birth, Holt's Jupiter was an excusable inclusion, given the lyrics "I Vow to Thee, My Country" and cellist Elicia Palmer's sensitive interpretation ensured the sentiments resonated.
Amongst those also taking part were violinists Daniel and Caroline Bassett, cellist Gabrielle Laurens and clarinettist James Gillett, who all gave strong solo performances.
An arresting selection of show songs from tenor Jordan Carlton closed the concert, with even a tantalising suggestion of revolution by including Stars from Les Misérables.
Yet, the real stars were those taking part who delivered a diamond-encrusted performance worthy of a jubilee celebration.

Traci decides it's up to her to tell Rasheeda what Kirk was up to at her event. She explains that he and Mary Jane were regaling her with their tales of turned-up-ness and Rasheeda responds "That s— makes me sick."
Rasheeda's held it together thus far, but this is the last straw for her and she breaks down. "We gonna chop up this business and we he can get the f— steppin'," she says. And at this moment who should walk out, but the man himself.
When Rasheeda asks him about this lake business he tells her "You said do me, get the f— outta here, don't come back, do what you wanna do….why would it be a problem?" he asks.
Rasheeda, in tears, tells him "I hate you right now."
"When I told Kirk 'Do you,' that meant go out there and figure out exactly what's going on with yourself. I didn't give him no free pass to run out here and be a ho."
She asks him to be straight and tell her exactly what he did at the lake and Kirk, who looks smug and righteous while also realizing his free pass is about to hit him in the ass so hard, says "I was drunk! So…it was some girls there. I was in the Jacuzzi. There were some girls in the bed. So, yeah." SO YEAH.
When Rasheeda flips out, he maintains this weird sociopathic calm and tells her to relax and has the gall to lock her out of her house when he goes inside to get his things.
"You're a liar, you're a g–damn cheat, and I'm tired of your ass," she says throwing hos clothes on the lawn.
He literally runs away from her while she tells us "My husband can come back when he done riding bikes with Benzino old no-neck ass. Send your raggedy-ass hoes to get the burned up clothes since you wanna turn up. Turn up on that s–t."

Time Machine - Delete some back-ups?
I've been letting time machine back up my hard drive since last year. but the 1TB hard drive dedicated to the back-ups is now almost full!
can I delete some of the old back-ups? what's the best way to manage this? thanks.
To the best of my knowledge Time Machine will delete the oldest backup when it needs more space
I had to delete some of my older ones manually and it worked fine
I have seen reports of users successfully deleting backups from Time Machine but it's really not necessary. Dobby is correct Time Machine will take care of deleting backups for you as needed.
Off the top of my head I can't think of a reason to micromanage this.
