May 8, 2012 — Two New College of Florida students will travel to France next year under teaching assistantship grants awarded by the French government. Rose Marz, a French/English literature major from Fort Myers, Fla., has been assigned to a secondary school in Paris, and Alison Parks, an international and area studies/French major from Palm Coast, Fla., will teach in a primary school in Lille.
Both award winners will be among the 190-plus students graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree from New College on May 25 of this year.
Marz and Parks make a total of 17 New College students who have received awards to teach in France since 2000-2001. The Teaching Assistant Program in France is a joint initiative of the French Ministry of Education, the Centre international d'études pédagogiques (CIEP) and the Cultural Services Department of the French Embassy in Washington, D.C. Each year, nearly 1,500 American citizens and permanent residents teach for seven to nine months in public schools across all regions of metropolitan France and in the overseas departments of French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique and Réunion.
"It is wonderful that both Rose and Alison have been selected for this increasingly competitive program," commented Professor of French Language and Literature Amy Baram Reid, who was the faculty adviser for both students. "They will each bring very diverse interests and strengths to their French classrooms, and they represent the range of students who thrive here at New College. Both women took advantage of New College's flexible curriculum to spend time studying abroad. It has been a great pleasure to work with both of them over the past four years."
Rose Marz "fell in love with the language of fencing" when she was only 10 years old and has been the organizing force of the New College fencing club. She has taken several opportunities to study French in countries where it is spoken: in Toulouse and Strasbourg, France, as a high school student; and in Canada at the Université du Québec à Montréal, a public French-language university, during her fall 2010 term at New College. In the fall of 2011, she was a popular teaching assistant for the Duke University Talent Identification Program (Duke TIP) held at New College. Duke TIP is a nonprofit organization dedicated to serving academically gifted and talented youth.
"I'm excited both about teaching and being in Paris," says the Fort Myers Senior High School graduate. Traveling is also on her agenda and apparently in her blood; Marz's parents, Amy and Barry Marz, are seasoned travelers, her mother having served in the Peace Corps following graduation from Sarah Lawrence, and her father as an airline pilot. But ultimately Marz hopes to pursue a master's in library science to become either a reference or marketing librarian. "I want to improve literacy in any way that I can," she says. "That's my focus."
Alison Parks' second year at New College (2009-2010), was spent studying in Paris. During that time she was invited to teach English at a middle school there, and loved it. "I lived with a host family," recalls Parks, who considers herself proficient in French. "It really helped in learning the language." She has also done extensive work in Chinese language.
"Alison's thesis project, which unites her interests in French and Chinese culture, was ambitious, truly original and of interest to people in a very broad range of fields," says her senior thesis adviser, French professor Jocelyn Van Tuyl. "The fact that she kept up with both French and Chinese throughout her years here — completing enough coursework in Chinese that she could easily have added a third area of concentration — is extremely impressive. Alison is going to be a very competitive candidate for whatever career or graduate study she selects, and an additional year of living and working in France will only enhance her skills."
Parks' love affair with all things French also began in childhood, when at the age of five she was introduced to the Madeline books and announced to her parents (Cheryl and William Parks of Palm Coast) that she wanted to learn French and move to France. She began studying the language in her freshman year at Flagler Palm Coast High School. Parks plans to attend graduate school in international studies and political science and would like to work either in academia or diplomacy.

You are working on a circular needle, so while the stitches in the front are being worked into short rows, the rest can just stay there on the needle. They will not affect your ability to do the short rows and once all short rows are completed you will just go back to working in the round on all stitches.
Okay, now this might seem like a 'mind your own business' type question, but I'm just wondering your bust size
You don't have to tell me if you're uncomfortable with the question, but I am a 36D and when I made Picovoli I did not do short rows at all after reading blogs of other people who had made it and found them unnecessary, even with an ample bust, so I just went with it and somehow with the shaping of the garment it fit me just fine, all over, without short rows.

India's Ministry of Defence and the Indian Air Force submitted a Letter of Request to the United States government, inquiring about a potential acquisition of 10 C-17 Globemaster III advanced airlifters. Boeing Co. [[BA]] recently completed a series of C-17 demonstration flights in India, as the nation has been interested in replacing its current fleet of airlifters (Russian AN-32 and IL-76 aircraft). The deal is potentially worth billions of dollars.
C-17 Globemaster III Tactical Transport Aircraft:
The C-17 Globemaster III is a high-wing, four-engine, T-tailed military transport. The Boeing C-17 Globemaster III is capable of rapid strategic delivery of troops and cargo to main operating bases, or directly to forward bases in the deployment area. The aircraft is also able to perform tactical airlift and airdrop missions when required. The inherent flexibility and performance characteristics of the C-17 force improves the ability of the total airlift system to fulfill the worldwide air mobility requirements of the United States.
The C-17 measures 174 feet long (53 meters) with a wingspan of 169 feet, 10 inches (51.75 meters). The aircraft is powered by four, fully reversible, Federal Aviation Administration-certified F117-PW-100 engines (the military designation for the commercial Pratt & Whitney PW2040), currently used on the Boeing 757. Each engine is rated at 40,440 pounds of thrust. The thrust reversers direct the flow of air upward and forward to avoid ingestion of dust and debris. Maximum use has been made of off-the-shelf and commercial equipment, including Air Force-standardized avionics.
The aircraft is operated by a crew of three (pilot, copilot and loadmaster), reducing manpower requirements, risk exposure and long-term operating costs. Cargo is loaded onto the C-17 through a large aft door that accommodates military vehicles and palletized cargo. The C-17 can carry virtually all of the Army's air-transportable equipment.

Research in this laboratory focuses primarily on Borrelia burgdorferi, the spirochete that causes Lyme disease, the most common arthropod-borne disorder in the United States. B. burgdorferi is maintained in nature through an infectious cycle between wild mammals and ticks. Occasionally, infected ticks feed upon humans and transmit the spirochete, resulting in Lyme disease.
Human infection has medical significance as a multisystemic, potentially chronic illness. The tick vector and the mammalian host represent very different environments, and there is good evidence for differential gene expression by borreliae in these locations.
This scenario suggests that B. burgdorferi responds to environmental cues to adapt and move between the tick vector and mammalian host. Recent experiments document modulation of spirochetal outer surface proteins in response to environmental conditions and reinforce this hypothesis.
Our broad objective is to use a molecular genetic approach to elucidate the mechanisms of adaptation and variation in B. burgdorferi and their roles in the infectious cycle. The specific aims of our research are as follows:
Knowing which bacterial proteins are synthesized in the mammal versus the tick and gaining insight into their functions will contribute to a better understanding of the pathogenesis of Lyme disease. This knowledge is relevant to the diagnosis and prevention of Lyme disease.
The transmission of B. burgdorferi between ticks and mammals represents an ideal system in which to study the adaptive responses of a bacterial pathogen to its vector and host environments. All steps of this infectious cycle can be reproduced in the laboratory, making it accessible to scientific investigation. Molecular genetics represents a powerful method with which to address this system.
Previous studies have identified spirochetal components that should be important in the adaptation of B. burgdorferi to its environment. Ongoing and future studies are designed to test the roles of these genes and their products in the infectious cycle and to identify additional genes that allow the spirochetes to adapt, persist, and be transmitted between ticks and mammals. This research should elucidate the biological basis of these bacterium-host-vector relationships and the factors that contribute to the pathogenesis of disease in an incidental human host.
A second and relatively recent project in the MGS involves spirochetes of the genus Leptospira, which includes both pathogenic and saprophytic species. Leptospirosis is a potentially fatal, neglected zoonotic disease that afflicts residents of poor urban communities around the world. The goal of this new project is to improve the genetic tools available for Leptospira in order to facilitate investigation of the pathogenic species and accelerate measures to prevent disease. It is our hope that the knowledge and experience we have acquired in genetic manipulation of B. burgdorferi will aid in developing and expanding similar tools for Leptospira. This relatively new project was initiated by Dr. Philip Steward, a staff scientist in MGS, and primarily represents the focus of his research efforts. Dr. Steward first acquired proficiency in cultivation and genetic manipulation of the saprophytic species, L. biflex, and is currently investigating potential barriers to transformation of the pathogenic species, L. interrogans.

What are you outraged about?
How much time you got?
Right now I'm outraged that everytime Shout suggests a suggestion to a problem, the rest of the Fresh Beat Band shoots it down. Can he not decide what they're gonna do just once?
"I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability"
i am outraged that i did not know that the kids had a day off today, i found out last night at 10:30.
I am outraged for all of you. Thanks for sharing.
But, damn Jojo, you have me beat by a mile.
"Ask the next question" --Theodore Sturgeon
Jojo- my husband is outraged for you as well. I told him what your husband did and he says "Damn! How cheap is this guy? That's just stupid!"
I am outraged that I didn't get enough sleep but it's too bright out (even with a sleep mask) for me to fall asleep again. DH and I were up until 4am (which is not abnormal) and I woke up around 9 because it was bright in our room. I reached for my sleep mask and saw a gigantic spider on the ceiling about 6 inches from my side of the bed so I woke DH up to kill it (I can't reach, and I had surgery so even if I could reach, I shouldn't). Well, he knocked the thing down into/onto the fan that was on and the spider disappeared. So, I freaked out and decided to sleep in the recliner in the living room, which didn't happen because of my surgery I couldn't push the back of the chair back to recline. And because of my surgery I couldn't get OUT of the chair without help because I can't push the foot part down by myself right now or climb out of it without risking hurting myself or falling and hurting myself.

I am outraged that my kids DID have school today! We are in the middle of doing a full house rearrange/makeover and could have gotten so much done!
I can't use condoms because they irritate my skin and contribute to my yeast infection problem. So I feel sorry for you that you have to use a condom and it was a used condom on top of that.

The Sneaker News March Madness Foamposite Tournament kicked off a few weeks ago and with each passing week, we took a giant leap forward toward naming the greatest Nike Air Foamposite sneaker of all-time. We've reached the iconic round of four finalists otherwise known as The Final Four, and quite honestly, the results aren't too surprising as all four #1 overall seeds in their respective regions had made it this far. We've got all the results from the Elite 8 voting if you're curious to see just how dominant each shoe against its opponent, so take a look below and stay tuned for the Final Four voting tonight at 9PM EST.
FINAL FOUR VOTING BEGINS APRIL 4th AT 9PM EST
The OG Royal dominates in convincing fashion as it moves to the Final Four – as expected.
Perhaps the toughest match-up of the Elite 8 turned out to be a blowout win for the Coppers, leaving the last Foamposite Pro in the dust.
The power of ParaNorman proved to be too strong to the Eggplants, which many believed had potential to pull off an upset.
Galaxy does it again as it beats out the Metallic Red with ease.

damn my pick .pearls rip
iHypeBeast sleeps and lives off this site everyone. he dont have shit to do but troll the comments and call people hypebeast. hes Lil B
two rounds in a row with no upsets. thats kinda lame
I can already tell the last to is the galaxy and the paranorman
metalic reds and eggplants should of advanced.... damn hypebests ruinging everything
What?!!! The Pearls didn't make it to the Final Four... I demand a recount!
if its paranormans and galaxys the galaxys should smash
im calling royals vs galaxys like Ive been doing since day one. Royals for the win because with out them the galaxys wouldnt exist.
Easy prediction. Knew this would happen.
Love to see foams in retro blue as a Foam One. Same with Pearls
Paranormans vs Galaxies. I can see it now.
Pearls should have made it though.
Lol the inevitable is gonna happen smh
its gonna be paranormans vs galaxies... why? bc those are the most hyped foams... if it really came down to it, the best one is the dr dooms... along with the blackouts, pearls, cactuses, and the pines... this means nothing bc it is all hype..
Paranormans over Eggplants? Smh idiots.......
This is the final 4 I picked from the beginning. If the final two are not the royal and copper, i'm never visiting this site again!
This is definitely the toughest SN Tournament, same shoe, different colorways, but all GREAT colorways!
also where the percentages at so i can see wat shoe won by how much???
@bigavel they got cheated for real *sheds a single tear*
@JakeeAD nigga please. i visit this site few time though day for news and just make comment to call out on people like your bitch ass that want to say the old foams are so much better then new ones and anyone who like the new ones are hype beast. I do call people hype beast because they fucking hype up the eggplant foams even though it is ugly as fuck or they fucking hype up the royals because its OG.
@turt123 your a hype beast! The only reason eggplants even made it so far is because niggas like you hype it up!
@addicted2kixthe pearls were always considered a sub-foamposite because of the swoosh. i like some of the pros, but none of them ever had the same appeal as the "one". the pearls are dope, but you can't expect a sub-genre to go too far in a tournament of OG's
@asdfjkln64 FINAL SOMEONE else who is not afraid to speak their mind!
@LeoMizrahi Love the variety on this site, I personally think Dooms are one of the ugliest foams lol, but its all opinions at this point. Royals, metallic reds, and stealths are the nicest IMO
@LeoMizrahi SHUT THE YOUR FAKE ASS UP!!!!!! You know that paranormans and galaxies wil the finally two because they are the best looking ones. You also know that dr doom was one of the ugliest foams ever! Just stop trying to look your not a hype beast.
@S09442 your the fucking idiot if you think eggplants look good! They ugly as fuck.
@troysumpter The finaly two will be Galaxy vs ParaNorman so get your bitch ass ready to never visit this site again . I am fucking tired of you niggas trying your hardest to not look like a hype beast! It is alright to admit that Galaxy or ParaNorman look better than royals or the copper, because it is the truth. Both the royals and the copper are just basic, and if it was not for the fact that royals are OG and that foamposites are Anfernee "Penny" Hardaway (penny = copper for those don't get it) shoes they would not made it so far.
@troysumpter Sorry bro, but YOU KNOW it's gonna be Paranormans and Galaxys. It's not who I voted for either, but the hypesters will vote that way. That's all they know. This shits rigged
@AljosaCikojevic Are you blind my nigga? Its right under the names.
@iHypeBeast @turt123 eggplants had hype? I remember them sittin on shelves for months so idk wat ur talkin about bro..... Plus they look much better than the paranorms
@iHypeBeast son get off the computer you spend to much time on here, fuck foamposites thats why i only buy you FUBU at ROSS
@iHypeBeast @turt123 your a troll lil faggit go die in a campout for the next pair of retro 11s
@troysumpter @addicted2kix I feel what you saying but you gotta have a dark horse that shakes up things... Not only that the Pearls are super underrated and could have (should have IMO) have taken out the Coppers easy.
@iHypeBeast @LeoMizrahi and its hypebeast like you that made this competion a waste... look at ur name
@iHypeBeast @troysumpter OK... For 1, remove my dick from your mouth you invisible bitch-nigga. 2, the galaxy and paranorman are in my opinion, the best designed foamposite, period! I own both pairs and love them to death, but the tournament should be geared towards originality. The royals were a ground breaking color way and introduced a new shoe and material concept seen on a basketball shoe. just when everyone counted the foamposites out, they came and hit the sneaker world with the coppers. Now I'm NOT saying that the paranormans or galaxy's are whack in any way. they are not the easiest kicks to just trhow on without throwing on an outfit to compliment them. they are show-pieces. stunt kicks that you break out to show your status in the sneaker world. But nothing gets respects like the coppers or the royals. debate me all you want, and get as ignorant on the internet as you possibly can. we know posers, cornballs and fuck-niggas like you will gladly fall in to hype and then troll the internet to gain the respect you can't get outside of the cyber world. but enjoy your day, cock sucker. i'm in Brooklyn, NY... Not a hard guy to find.
@Cop em and Rock em SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU FAKE BITCH ASS NIGGA! YOU FUCKING KNOW THAT PARANORMANS AND GALAXYS LOOK THE BEST AND ARE THE MOST UNIQUE FOAMS! YOU ARE JUST TOO FUCKING AFRAID TO ADMIT IT BECAUSE YOU DO NOT WANT TO LABELED AS A "HYPE BEAST"!
@Cop em and Rock em @troysumpter It's not rigged. It's just the age level of visitors to the site. And knowledge. I'll be the first to tell you that I didn't know shit about foams until the royal blue rerelease a few yrs back. And then the pros released, but I can't do pros. The metallic reds hooked me, though. The one thing I hate, same for AJ 5s, 3s, 6s, 11s, 16s is that damn yellowing sole. Same shit on the foams, which is why I avoid translucent soles. But the comfort is amazing and now I'm forever tuned in. Woulda done that earlier had foams not been $180 then, but now in today's world, it's a bargain. Smh
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite @turt123 @iHypeBeast which way your ass only approve the old ones. Your bitch ass is hurt cause you can't get any pair of the newest foams so you call anyone with them a hype beast.
@turt123 @iHypeBeast I am taking about people in this site hypeing it up.
@turt123 @iHypeBeast all sneaker sat on da shelves back then... ALL SNEAKERS
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite nigga I do have all the foams and willing to show proof. How about you? Post like to photo with all the fomas you have bitch or are you fake ass nigga?
@iHypeBeast @Da_Real_Big_Infinite I do have 2 pair of each of. 2 pair of paranormans & 3 pair of galaxy... U don't even own any pair of foams huh... Jus a frontin ass bitch on a sneaker blog
@Da_Real_Big_Infinite I though you had 2 pairs of each foam? what's your point nigga?
@iHypeBeastdaddy nigga,i am grown ass man. You can't be taking about spending time on the computer when you go make profile so you can be my "daddy". Also, I buy my own shoes with my own money because unlike someo of you niggas i am not broke ass who can only get used old shoes and call people that get new ones a hype beast even through i would suck dick for them.
@iHypeBeastdaddy @iHypeBeast thought h had 4 pair of each foam
@JakeeAD wow, you wish another human to die because they call you ass out for being a OG hype beast. someone is butt hurt.
@addicted2kix @troysumpter the pearl color way isn't an original color on a basketball shoe and it is a Pro model. The swoosh is what decided if it made it any further. the copper is what resurrected the foamposite to the mainstream again. that shiny metallic copper on a basketball shoe will stand out anywhere, even from a far distance. again, i like the pearls a lot. but they didn't stand a chance. the only 2 pro models that would have shaken this tournament up are the red and black, and the silver and black. I would have enjoyed that rumble. lol
@Nike_wat_irock_94 @LeoMizrahi I am not a troll just real ass nights who is not afraid to say that galaxy and PN are the best in this site, which is filled who niggas who are on that OG foam dick and talk shit about all the new foams even through they would sell their car for galaxy or PN
@LeoMizrahi @iHypeBeast Hes a troll...
@iHypeBeast @troysumpter they won't admit it because they think its cool to say OG's are better than anything new which is not true. For instance, I like the crimson pros better than the pearls, Dr dooms our the OG silver and black. I'm ok with change and dope designs, but i'm going with the simplistic game changers. The paranormans and galaxy's have estrogen their respect, but its still fairly recent since both shoes have come out all the lames will forget about them in two years when new foams come out with designs on them
@troysumpter 1) if your dick was in my mouth i would be agreeing with you.
2) If that is the real reason you pick them, then its fine and i respect you for it. I am just tried of people who know they would love to own pair of paranorman or galaxy and think they their awesome, but won't admit because the don't want be labeled as a hype beast and/or can't get them without robing a bank.
3) i am not not cock sucker or a troll, just real
@NuttyKicks @Cop em and Rock em @troysumpter Now, i agree with the yellowing of the soles on the posites. its annoying as shit, but its actually avoidable. i also agree with the age of the visitors. but its dumb sites like these that post pics of the latest kicks 20 times a day before the shoe even comes out. this site is run by corny shoe collectors who report on certain exclusives later than other sneaker blogs. It's a shame that this site has been around longer than alot of the newcomers, but do freshman shit when they should be trendsetters. but this tournament is actually interesting and if the majority of the visitors of this site were people from the late 90's in terms of collecting like myself, then the outcome would be inevitable. but its a mix of emotions on here and a battle between a sick shoe with a monotone color scheme or the same shoe with some sick graphics on them with a GITD outsole. I love all 4 sneakers and like i told the dickhead bellow this comment, i own them all. But i'll go for simplicity over the graphic any day!

By MIKE SMITH
This year may not have been Harrison's best baseball season, but a big out-bracket win against Pelham ensured Huskies players–and fans–have plenty to look forward to next year.
With a 5-16 record, Harrison entered its May 21 out-bracket game against Pelham as decided underdogs. But, nine innings later, Harrison emerged victorious with a hard-fought, 3-2 win under its belt.
Matt Baker pitched seven strong innings and drove in the game-winner in the ninth inning to give Harrison the win. Huskies coach Marco DiRuocco said that, more than anything, the Pelham game highlighted the fight and determination Harrison brought to the field all year.
"I'm so proud of our guys, they were so upbeat, so positive throughout the entire season," he said. "But they continued to battle and fight, and that's what you saw them do against Pelham."
Harrison had a 2-0 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth inning when Pelham was able to scratch out two runs against Baker. The score would remain tied for the next four innings before Baker's single broke it.
"Two games in a row, aginst Pelham and Ossining, we allowed the other team to come back and then we held on and won," DiRuocco said. "These guys just wanted it."
The win over Pelham earned the Huskies the right to take on a good Tappan Zee team on May 22. The Dutchmen topped the Huskies 4-0, ending their season, but DiRuocco was still impressed by the way his team approached the game.
"That's a good team, we just fell a little short," he said. "We just couldn't string together the hits when we needed to. But, even with that, I'd say we ended the season on a positive note."
With a very young team this season, Harrison will graduate a few key players–including Baker–but will return several contributors in 2015.
Tyler McConway and Andrew Gurgitano were two youngsters who helped bolster the Harrison rotation this year and should be even better when they return next season, DiRuocco said.
"Tyler really impressed us this year with his ability to get people out," DiRuocco said. "And Gurgitano, as a lefty, is someone we're really looking forward to seeing again next year."
With a taste of playoff success, DiRuocco said the Huskies could be primed for big things down the road.
"These guys are excited, and we, as a coaching staff, are excited," he said. "It's exciting to see how everyone's going to develop with another year, and all these guys are baseball guys, so I know they'll be working on their skills."

Houma toddler drowns in Mississippi
2-year-old fell into pool during cousin's birthday party
Published 8:20 AM CDT Jul 18, 2013
Family and friends of a 2-year-old Houma girl are mourning her death after she drowned in a pool while at a weekend party in Gulfport, Miss.
Karmen Blanchard told The Courier that his daughter, Scarlett Griffin, was at a cousin's birthday party Saturday when she somehow got outside and fell into the pool. The Harrison County Coroner's Office confirmed the cause of death as drowning.
Blanchard said there was a baby gate surrounding the pool, but it was apparently opened by an older child also at the party.
He said paramedics and doctors tried to revive Scarlett for more than an hour before she died.

The drumbeat of revelations about conditions in the factories that manufacture Apple products in recent weeks has had a sobering effect on me.
I got an iPod in 2006, my first Apple gadget in a decade. Then I bought a MacBook in 2009, followed by the iPhone 3GS in 2010. And this Christmas, I received the iPad2. Throw in iCloud, iMatch for music, and a possible Apple TV in my near future, and it's fair to say that I'm ensconced in Apple products.
And that was just fine, until the past two weeks when my Apple lifestyle ran headfirst into a pair of New York Times investigative articles, an episode of the radio show "This American Life," and a detailed report by Apple itself that made plain the ugly conditions under which the company's products are manufactured. The people who built my beloved gadgets did so under inhuman conditions that would never be tolerated in this country.
For the past week, I've struggled with two questions: How should I feel about this? And what should we, the consumers of these devices, do?
Let me start by making clear that while the focus has been on Apple, this is how almost all tech companies build their products. While some of the Times' stories try to make the case that Apple may be worse than other tech companies, I find that debatable.
Apple declined to comment on the recent barrage of bad publicity. Yet I'm sure the company feels unfairly singled out, and not without some justification. Apple understandably could argue that it handed its critics the club to beat the company with.
As the Times' stories note, Apple established a code of conduct for its suppliers in 2005 and has released annual audits of working conditions in its supply chain since 2007, conducting hundreds of inspections. Two weeks ago, the company's latest report made big headlines because it disclosed the identities of most of its suppliers.
Apple's own report noted repeated violations of child labor laws, living conditions, working hours, and safety among its suppliers. Still, the company expressed pride that conditions were improving, that it was more transparent than any competitor, and that it had agreed to allowed a nonprofit called the Fair Labor Association to conduct its own monitoring.
"We also used our influence to substantially improve working conditions for people who make our products," wrote Apple CEO Tim Cook in a letter to employees that was leaked. "No one is making improvements for workers in the way Apple is doing now."
So is the sole focus on Apple unfair? Yes, to a point. The company does disclose more than other tech companies. And it has taken clear steps in some cases to stop the very worst practices.
But it's also fair for critics to ask why Apple hasn't been able to stop all violations. Why hasn't progress been faster? If Apple did even more, it's reasonable to think others would follow since they use many of the same outsourcing firms.
And yet, even if most of these suppliers were in compliance, that still often means getting them to norms that we would never tolerate in the U.S. Workweeks of 60 hours, employees squeezed into dorms, and treasured because they are so pliable. Should I be feeling queasy about this?
To my surprise, "This American Life" quoted New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof, a noted human rights crusader, as defending the Chinese labor system as a positive step in the evolution of the country's economy. Indeed, he's not the only person who believes that while the work may be harsh, it's an improvement over the hardscrabble, poverty-stricken conditions that existed previously.
"I think it's useful to be reminded about how grim the conditions are," Kristof says in the show. "But again, I just think that if you try to think how you can fight poverty most effectively, and what has fought it within China, then I think sweatshops are a key part of that answer."
If this is true, then we also have to recognize that conditions have never magically improved on their own. Progress happens because people demand it. And so while Apple deserves kudos for being better than some, the company began to take many of these steps only after being pressured to do so.
Tech companies rationalize the need to cut costs despite mounting profits because they need to appease Wall Street expectations for growth and higher margins. But it seems Cook and Apple have an opportunity to draw a line here and challenge the power of Wall Street by raising pay for factory employees, offer bonuses to suppliers who improve conditions, while still making fantastic piles of money.
But this doesn't excuse us. Because at the end of the day, tech executives offer a simple reason as to why they claim they have no choice but to turn to places like China to build these products.
"You can either manufacture in comfortable, worker-friendly factories, or you can reinvent the product every year, and make it better and faster and cheaper, which requires factories that seem harsh by American standards," a current Apple executive told the New York Times. "And right now, customers care more about a new iPhone than working conditions in China."
That raises the issue of our personal responsibility here. This is where I've been feeling morally ambiguous. My first instinct was to ask, "Should I dump all of my Apple products?"
No, said Liana Foxvog, a spokeswoman for the International Labor Rights Forum, in an email.
"Consumers shouldn't necessarily stress too much about what laptop, smartphone, or tablet they are buying since the working conditions are often similar between brands given the overlap in contractors," she wrote. "Rather, through collective action, consumers could demand a living wage for the manufacturing workers, compliance with labor laws of the country and with international labor standards."
And this is where things get uncomfortable. How far are any of us willing to go to put pressure on the tech industry and lawmakers? Are you willing to boycott the tech industry? Could you go a whole year without buying any gadgets?
Many folks I put this question to on Twitter and Facebook answered, "No way!" Some argued this would hurt employees and factory workers , while other said we have to hope the negative press will improve things. But that still strikes me as a rationalization for doing nothing.
In other circumstances, such as grape boycotts to protest farmworker conditions, poultry boycotts, or pressure on companies to cease investments in South Africa, boycotts have proven the most effective means for average folks to wield their collective power. Indeed, just recall the impact of the Internet blackout Jan. 18.
I don't think it's come to that. Yet, we would be wrong to believe we are powerless to change things. If things don't improve, and we make excuses to turn our heads away, then the real blame for these conditions falls squarely on us.

In T 1140/09 the board stated that, although earlier decisions had applied the standard "beyond reasonable doubt" or "up to the hilt" to alleged public prior use, the standard of proof for the public availability of commercial brochures applied by the boards, even in their recent decisions, was the less strict standard of "balance of probabilities" (see also T 743/89 and T 804/05).
Unlike scientific or technical journals, company papers such as prospectuses or product descriptions cannot automatically be assumed to have made their way to the public (T 77/94; T 37/96). Whether they form part of the state of the art depends instead on the particular circumstances and the available evidence (see also T 1017/01).
In T 77/94, the argument that a publicity notice's date of issue was necessarily immediately after its date of printing (because such notices were only produced in order to be issued) was held to be merely a supposition which required confirmation; in reality, things were often different (see also T 1440/04).
In T 48/96 the board stated that, in order to prove the allegation that a particular apparatus described in a catalogue had been available to the public before the priority date, it was not sufficient to show that the catalogue had been published on time, because a mere indication in a catalogue did not constitute absolute proof that the described product had in fact been available to anybody.
In T 729/91, one relevant document was an issue of a monthly periodical, intended for hoteliers and caterers and which could be bought in South Africa. In accordance with the evidence brought forward in the case, a copy of this periodical was received by a particular library on 9.8.1984, i.e. before the priority date (13.8.1984) of the patent in suit. The librarian stated that publications were "generally available to the public as of the date of receipt". There was no absolute certainty that this was the case with the publication in question. The board was of the opinion that the EPO must decide what had happened having regard to the available evidence on the balance of probabilities, i.e. it must decide what was more likely than not to have happened. In the present case, it was, in the board's view, clearly much more likely that the publication was available to the public as from the date of receipt. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the board accepted that what had in fact happened was what the librarian stated would "generally" have happened. So the publication was considered to have been made available to the public before the priority date.
In T 55/01 the respondent had argued that only a "complete chain of proof" would suffice to establish that the manual of a television formed part of the prior art. The board agreed that the evidence adduced by the appellant did not form a complete chain of evidence of a sale and noted that, in cases where only one party had access to information about an alleged public prior use, the case law had tended towards expecting that the public prior use be proved beyond any reasonable doubt ("up to the hilt"), answering the typical questions "What?", "When?", "Where?", "How?" and "To whom?", since the other party was reduced to merely pointing out inconsistencies or gaps in the chain of evidence; see T 472/92 (OJ 1998, 161). However, the case law had taken into account the fact that cases of mass-produced consumer goods which were widely advertised and offered for sale to customers who often remained anonymous might require different treatment; see T 241/99. Indeed, to demand a complete chain of evidence in such cases would make it unreasonably complicated for a party to successfully rely on a sale or an offer for sale to prove public availability.
The board observed that televisions were mass-produced consumer products which were rapidly distributed to the market without any obligation of confidentiality. It found that, according to general experience, it seemed highly implausible that such goods, whilst being mass-produced, accumulated at some hidden location. It held that, under these circumstances, no further evidence was necessary to prove that televisions were actually sold to specified customers and that the handbook accompanying them was made available to the public within a period of about four months between their established production date and the priority date of the patent in suit, thereby taking into account the fact that events on the mass market such as the appearance of new television products were readily accessible to everybody, in particular to competitors, who would normally observe the market carefully. Hence, the balance of probabilities was the applicable standard of proof in cases such as this, as distinct from T 472/92.
In T 326/93, the board held that, in assessing public prior use, the burden of proof lay with the opponent, who had to show, on the balance of probabilities, firstly that the invention had been publicly demonstrated before the priority date and secondly that the skilled person would have drawn the necessary teaching from the demonstration (see also T 472/92, OJ 1998, 161; T 750/94, OJ 1998, 32; T 848/94).

Program Review
The Illinois Board of Higher Education mandates that public universities in the state review their degree programs on an eight-year cycle. As part of the Priorities, Quality, and Productivity (PQP) initiative that it began in 1991, the IBHE issued a state-wide schedule for program review, along with a format for the summary of program review findings that it wishes to receive. The IBHE expects that universities will use its guidelines as a framework within which to examine their academic programs.
The provost's office at Northern Illinois University has developed a program review format that addresses the IBHE's guidelines and focuses on issues that should help departments evaluate their programs and plan for their future. The Office of Institutional Research prepares data reports on enrollments, degrees granted, and various demographic matters to assist departments in carrying out their program reviews. Other units or offices that provide information for departments' use in program review include the University Libraries, the Office of Assessment Services, Career Services, the Office of Sponsored Projects, NIU Outreach, and the University Honors Program.
Departments complete a first draft of the program review by March of the academic year preceding the year of their scheduled review. Department and college representatives meet with the provost's staff during June and July to discuss the first drafts. During the summer, departments revise their program reviews, incorporating new information and responding to questions or recommendations from the summer meetings.
During the fall semester, the Academic Planning Council (APC) reviews the program reviews. Faculty subcommittees meet with the department chair and the college dean to discuss the reviews, and the subcommittees then make recommendations for program improvement and for strengthening the program review to the full APC. Department and college representatives attend the APC meeting to answer questions and provide additional information about the program. Following the APC review, the Vice Provost for Academic Planning and Development, who coordinates the program review process, works with the department, college, and the APC subcommittee to arrive at a final version of the program review and a set of recommendations for the future of the program.
Program review findings are reported to the Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, and Personnel Committee of the Board of Trustees at its November meeting each year. Any program actions taken as a result of program review are approved by the Board of Trustees in December. Summaries of program review findings and related program actions are forwarded to the IBHE in August of each year.
In 2013, changes were recommended and approved to refine the program review process. The implementation of these changes is ongoing.

Greens Up! continues its westward expansion. The business, formerly housed on Sawtelle's Little Osaka, recently pulled up its stakes there for a new location on Montana. This slight shift in demographics must have proved fruitful for the salad shop as we see the business setting up a new location in another well-trafficked stretch of Santa Monica, this time coming to the former home of Red Mango on Main Street. Currently, Greens' trusty old trustafarian logo is now sharing space with a "for lease" sign, while a manager confirms the deal is a go and guesstimates an opening here in "a couple of months."

Don't Let April Fool You
Across the country this winter's heat wave gave us record highs for many days, but when you visit Rocky Mountain National Park in April, don't get fooled. April is typically one of the snowiest months of the year, so don't be surprised if we still get a few more tastes of winter. April is an exciting month due to that unknown. The hibernating animals are awakening, some birds are migrating, and it can go from sunny to blizzard in the span of a day. April is a great time to be in the park, just make sure you are prepared for all the potential outfit changes from shorts and t-shirts to parkas and snowshoes!
Guest blogger is Jared Gricoskie of Yellow Wood Guiding. To book your own tour of Rocky Mountain National Park, visit his website at YWGuiding.com
Mountain Bluebirds Return & Spring Bird Walk Program Starts in Rocky Mountain National Park
A flock of brilliant male Mountain Bluebirds returned to Beaver Meadows in Rocky Mountain National Park on March 6, 2012. The state bird of both Idaho and Nevada, Mountain Bluebirds are a common sight in open areas of the American West, and a beautiful sign of spring coming to the mountains.
Some cool facts: Mountain Bluebirds form monogamous couples. The males arrive first to scout out nesting spots, then the females follow to build their nests of woven grass, lined with fine grass, soft bark, hair, or feathers. The male sometimes acts as if he is helping, but he either brings no nest material, or drops it on the way. They nest in cavities in trees and snags, and frequently in nest boxes. Incubation normally lasts 14 days and the young will take about 21 days before they leave the nest. Both males and females fiercely protect the nest. They hunt from perches, and drop onto the ground to catch prey. The males can be seen singing from bare branches right at dawn, just when the sun rises.
Rocky Mountain National Park is a great place for birdwatching. The Park will start its' Bird Walk program on April 1, 2012. Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until June 16, 2012 a 90 minute walk will be conducted in the West Alluvial Fan area of Horseshoe Park. No reservations are needed – meet at 8 am in the West Alluvial Fan parking lot with your binoculars and bird field guidebook.

Editor's note: Carlos E. Garcia is senior vice president, multicultural research, in the Burbank, Calif., office of research firm GfK.
Marketers want to be able to see into the future. That is, they want to make informed decisions today that will play out nicely in the marketplace tomorrow. A standard approach is to establish trend lines that are founded upon historical data and use current data to direct that arrow from the past into the future. But we have to ask: Is this approach still reliable, given our current environment of dramatic demographic changes and technology-driven paradigm shifts?
My specific area of concern is the rise of the multicultural markets (I'll leave it to the digerati to take on the tech shifts). The multicultural markets have been an important part of our national economy for some years; but there was, understandably, some lag time between the demographic shifts and this fact sinking into the daily practices of the marketing establishment. It seems now the tipping point has been reached and the multicultural markets are now being included in total market studies.
Fine – accepted and acknowledged. But what about the trend-line foundational research that was conducted in the past? Remember those arrows that start out in the past and head to the future? Are they aimed in the right direction and thus pointed toward a bright future or will they veer off in a suboptimal direction?
Well, we can't go backwards in time to fix old trackers, A&Us and segmentations. But at the very least marketers can get a clearer picture of the present.
The argument that multicultural populations must be included in numbers proportionate to their presence in the population is clear and hard to refute. The number of Spanish-speakers is clearly large enough to require that this be a part of your sampling plan as well. But is that enough?
To get things right when it comes to today's unprecedented population shifts requires a probing look at how we do things in marketing and marketing research. Specifically:
- Are your questionnaires written with multiple cultures in mind or are they simply translated?
- Are your scales adapted to result in readable results across the cultural groups?
- Do your attribute statements reflect the lives and lifestyles of the whole market or are they simply the usual suspects from days gone by?
- Will your analysis be done with enough cultural sensitivity and savvy to find the insights you need to make full use of the data?
Coming into meetings fighting for the multicultural markets is tough. No one wants to change their tried-and-true trackers, their familiar set of standard measures, their usual scales, their usual way of doing things. But if the 2012 elections should teach us anything, it is that the usual way of doing things won't work going forward.
The reality we now face includes a few facts:
- Different cultures can interpret questions differently – so, while you may be think you know what you are asking, you might be mistaken unless your research team includes professionals with multicultural experience.
- If you ask what a person of a different culture considers to be an unanswerable question, the data you get back will either be obviously indecipherable or, worse, misleading.
- Different cultures use scales in different ways, so your goal of data comparability is undermined specifically by mandating use of the same scales across cultures. Techniques exist to handle this problem.
- Different cultures face different socioeconomic and cultural realities, so the danger of asking condescending or confusing questions is high without the above-mentioned experience.
- Getting your contemporary research right will help you see the differences between the cultures. This can help you find algorithms that would help you understand how to "back-cast" to adjust the tail of your arrow, so that your arrowhead really is pointed in the right direction.
It takes vision, wisdom and leadership to be willing to make the changes that will lead your organization in the right direction, to be able to confront the future armed with precise and nuanced data that reflects our evolving reality. Choose your research approaches and partners well, and you will be more than halfway there.

Uncle Vanya
by Anton Chekhov
Analysis: Three-Act Plot Analysis
For a three-act plot analysis, put on your screenwriter's hat. Moviemakers know the formula well: at the end of Act One, the main character is drawn in completely to a conflict. During Act Two, she is farthest away from her goals. At the end of Act Three, the story is resolved.
Act I
Well, the play begins with the country folk griping about the city folk, and continues up until all of the lovers have expressed their feelings in one way or another, which would be right at the end of Act II. This sets the scene for the blow-up to come.
Act II
Act III does the work of the traditional Act II (stay with us!), by taking the characters far, far from resolution. We get Vanya trying to kill Serebryakov, Vanya and Astrov trying to steal Yelena's heart, and Sonya trying to get Astrov to love her back. What a mess.
Act III
Things get wrapped up in Act IV of Uncle Vanya, superficially at least. Yelena and Serebryakov leave, Astrov takes off, and Sonya, Vanya, and Mariya are left to get back to their boring, ordinary lives. No one really got what they wanted, but they just accept their dissatisfaction and get back to everyday life.

The brain and spinal cord are surrounded by a clear, colorless fluid. The name of the fluid is cerebrospinal fluid. It is called CSF for short. Sometimes it is necessary to drain some CSF. To do this, a narrow tube is inserted in the lower back. Doctors call this part of the back the lumbar region. So the tube is called a lumbar drain.
Why do I need a lumbar drain? A lumbar drain is needed if:
What happens during the procedure?
The nurse will ask you to lie down on your side. Then you will tuck your chin into your chest, and curl your knees up to your stomach. You will be given a shot of medicine that numbs your lower back.
When your back is numb, the doctor will start to insert the lumbar tube. You should not feel any pain, but you may feel pressure against that part of your back. After the tube is in the right place, it will be connected to a drainage bag. The bag lets your doctor and nurse see how much CSF drains out through the tube.
What happens after the procedure?
Your lumbar drain will be placed at a certain height. Your doctor will decide on the best height for your drain. Your nurse will measure with a carpenter's level to be sure the drain is at the right height.
Your drain must stay at the right height at all times. You must call the nurse when you want to raise or lower the head of your hospital bed. The nurse will re-measure your drain each time you change the position of the head of your bed.
You must call the nurse for help to get out of bed. Before you get out of bed, your nurse must clamp the drain. When you get back into bed, the nurse must re-measure the drain.
You may have a lumbar drain for up to 5 days.
Are there possible problems?
Sometimes other problems can result from a condition or a procedure. These problems are called complications. When you have a lumbar drain, some possible problems are:

This week's Hell or High Water will focus on the recordings of Mullins, South Carolina-born funk vocalist Sandra Phillips. Most famous for recording in the early 70s with Swamp Dogg, we will explore her music from her earliest smooth soul 45s circa 1967-8 on the Broadway and Sue labels to her early to mid 70s anthemic, harder funk sounds. Sunday 1-2 pm
The focus of this week's Broken Music will be the 80s experimental electronics and vocal recordings of the Aspen-based outfit Architects Office. Founded in 1983 by tape manipulator and French horn player Joel Haertling, AO is remembered mostly for their soundtrack works for the late Stan Brakhage. The show will center around their bizarre soundtrack to the Brakhage short "Caswallon the Headhunter" from 1986 but will also include other studio and live cuts from their lesser-known material. Sunday 2-3 pm

Breaking Bad - Illustrated

Characters of Breaking Bad in vector design
Breaking Bad - Illustrated
"So you do have a plan?! - Yeah, Mr. White! Yeah, science!"
About the video:Music bought on Vimeo music store:
"Mexico" by the band "Gringo"
After finished "Tim Burton - a filmography", I was like a marathon man in the need to run again after the finish. I didn't win the contest but I had a lot of great feedbacks from world wide and I'm glad that the fans enjoyed it. Like all my work, I treated the subject with lot of respect.
Nowadays, that's very common, but I'm also a big fan of the TV serie Breaking Bad. Since a friend adviced me to took a look three or four years ago, I started to become very addicted to the Vince Gilligan's cook. To me, everything is great ! The scenario of course, the cast, the acting, the visual ideas, the atmosphere... Everything is just so awesome...
So I decide to just make a tribute to Walter White by making an illustration, and then it was missing Jesse Pinkman, so I made it after. Why not a bad guy ? So I made Gustavo,and etc etc. Until I had thirteen characters. From that step, I was thinking, why not to make an animation ? But I thought, only characters would be weak... And after, two filmography (Kubrick and Burton) both in the same style, I needed to create something more dynamic and rock and roll, by still keeping my style and improving my motion design skills.
Backgrounds was interesting too to create. If you take a look on the show, there are very important between each scenes. I wanted to make feel the atmosphere of the New Mexico to the viewers, with the Usa and the Mexican influence.
About the music, after listening many songs in online music store, I found that great one ! It was perfect with the atmosphere that I wanted to build. Basically, Romain Trouillet was ready to score this one because he is a big fan of the show too but he was busy on that time. If he is ok, we will work together again on the next one. Probably the last filmography, Takeshi Kitano which is almost finished on illustrations.
If you listen the lyrics, that's very interesting. I matched it with the different characters of the cast and their meaning. For example: "I lost my convictions", I added Saul, the attorney who is not every time honest. Secundo, "I lost my religion", The Salamanca cousins but a Santa Muerte, the divinity of gangster. And in the end, "I had money", Gus and Walter was interesting to put in that time, Gus with the money in the background and Walter because that's one of this motivation.
Also for the beat of the music, I tryed to find ideas too: electric poles, road line, curving line sfrom a map a little bit like the move in Guitar Hero when you do that sound but mixing with the map idea. From Albuquerque until Mexico city, I checked on a map to respect the cities and the motorway numbers ! I wish I can go one day and see the landscapes and the backgrounds in real ! You probably has the same feeling too by seeing that show ;-)
Finally, I saw a lot of other opening titles and movie clip. I tried to mix the things I like the most: Queens of the stone age - go with the flow, Dizzee Rascal - Fix up look sharp, Machete, Grindhouse, Repo Man, Walking Dead by Daniel Kanemoto, Danny Yount's opening, the website Art of Title, etc, etc...
It's been several months that I wanted to do this. If like me you cannot wait for the fifth and last season of Breaking bad, I made some visuals of one of the most stunning drama of those years.
Ça faisait longtemps que je voulais faire cette série. Si comme moi, vous ne pouvez pas attendre pour la cinquième et dernière saison de Breaking bad, voici quelques portraits de l'une des séries les plus incroyables de ces dernières années.
For make an animation, characters are a good thing. But that's not enough and you need also background for introduce ce scene. Here, I'm starting new illustrations with the inspiration of few illustrators which I appreciate their style but in keeping my own one.
Pour une animation, des portraits c'est bien. Mais il faut aussi des décors pour pouvoir planter l'ambiance. Ces fameux plans de coupe que l'on retrouve au début de chaque scènes dans les séries et qui serve à montrer rapidement au spectateur où se situe l'action. Pour le clip, je pense en faire quelques un en m'inspirant de plusieurs illustrateurs que j'affectionne tout en conservant mon propre style.

Well hell, we've made a lot of poor picks with our 1st rounder as well, probably oughta just throw that one in there while we're at it.
What the **** is your point?
Everyone has noted that this draft is very deep and is likely to have some conventional first round talent available at the top of the 2nd. With a deep DB draft, it could've easily been another Brandon Flowers. There is some intriguing WR talent that looks like it could make it there.
But you're right - the Chiefs should probably win 8 games fairly easily. Over and over and over again. And that's about it.

text: chilled by a slump in european car sales last year, automakers hope to fan the embers of consumer demand with a parade of new models at the international motor show in geneva, switzerland. volkswagen ag, eponymous maker of germany's "people's car," will take unabashed aim at upscale motorists with its first luxury model, the phaeton saloon. ford motor is targeting families on the go with a hybrid "urban activity vehicle" called fusion, while general motors, the world's no 1 carmaker, plans to unveil a redesigned version of its popular opel vectra together with a concept van that runs on natural gas. but splashy debuts and corporate hype won't ease the auto industry's anxiety about its prospects in europe's mature and highly fragmented car market. ford, general motors and daimlerchrylser ag among others have already begun slashing operating costs and employee numbers to try to adjust to the squeeze in global sales. production volumes for volkswagen fell by 1 per cent last year, and france's renault reported a 77 per cent drop in its annual operating profit. italy's fiat spa, and swedish truck and bus maker volvo posted losses, respectively, of $387m and $138m in '01, after both turned a profit the year before. carmakers will be hoping to recover some of their lost momentum at the annual show in geneva, which cardiff university business school professor garel rhys calls the "monte carlo of auto shows." the exhibition, the 72nd of its kind, opens to the public on thursday. "i think the feeling this year will be one of nervous uncertainty about the european economy and the global economy in general," said rhys, the director of cardiff's center for automotive industry research. "there's no sign of any great resurgence in demand as far as the auto market is concerned." indeed, two of europe's biggest truckmakers, sweden's scania and volvo, are forecasting a plunge this year of up to 20 per cent in truck and bus sales, rhys said. the september 11 terror attacks have also had an impact. car companies began offering discounts even before the attacks, but price cuts accelerated in their wake. in europe, car prices fell by an average of almost 7 per cent in '01, further pinching profits, analysts said. european sales of cars and light trucks shrank last year to 19.5m vehicles, down from 20.2m in '00, according to gm. rhys noted a more dramatic year-on-year decline of 6 per cent in sales of passenger cars in western europe, to 14.8m from 15.7m. ford is taking radical steps to reduce its expenses, announcing in january it would cut 35,000 jobs worldwide, close five plants and eliminate four models. ford claimed an 8.6 per cent share of the european market last year, up from 8.1 per cent the year before but still well below the levels it reached in the mid-1990s. "ford has been probably the most active in trying to put its european business back on an even keel and achieve a decent profitability," said john lawson, an analyst at salomon smith barney in london. with the fusion, it hopes to exploit what it sees as a new market niche. a taller, chunkier version of the fiesta car, fusion is ford's answer to the varied demands of urban families. "you could call it a scaled-down version of a sports utility vehicle," lawson said, adding that it's a sensible and potentially "quite profitable" design. gm's plan for restructuring its business in europe is less clear, analysts said. the no 1 carmaker's loss on regional sales widened last year to $767m from $257m in '00. gm hopes to halve its losses this year and break even in '03, in part by shaving 15 per cent off its european production capacity of 2.3m vehicles a year. "a convincing product lineup is the key to everything," gm spokesman stefan weinmann said. at geneva, gm's opel unit will roll out a new range of vectras — a four-cylinder sedan model and a more powerful v6 sports sedan — as part of this effort. the new, restyled models boast what opel calls "a state-of-the-art nervous system" aimed at better safety and comfort.

Motor Trend Magazine has published their February 2012 issue that contains their annual Power List, 50 of the most powerful movers and shakers in the auto industry. Each year we highlight those who have had some guiding effect on Audi either currently or over the brand's history. Here's the 2012 rundown listed in reverse order as in the article.
Just two black Audi Sport quattros were built, one for Walter Rohrl and one for Ferdinand Piech.
Researching for our TT RS and Sport quattro comparison article published today , we learned this interesting fact.
What is a #4FACT?
When we review our note pads following press events,
If you've been through Audi's Museum Mobile then maybe you've spotted the above car rather anonymously sitting on the rotating paternoster of concept cars and prototypes. I've spotted it any number of times and my general understanding was that it was a mid-engine replacement for Audi's rallying Sport quattros. And while this is true, that only begins to tell the car's story.
Known simply as the Group S
It's that time of year again and Motor Trend Magazine has published their annual Power List of industry personalities who have more than their fair share of influence in the auto industry. As a testament to the Audi brand's own prominence in the industry, executives who manage Audi either directly or indirectly via the Volkswagen
