People caring for someone with dementia are being offered the chance to learn more about the disease and how it affects the individual in a Carers Information and Support Programme being run by Alzheimer's Society Hull and East Riding.
The programme is a series of workshops and aims to help carers understand more about the condition and its symptoms, including the sort of behaviours that people may display which can at times be challenging. By understanding more about dementia the workshops will help people to cope better with caring for the individual.
Alzheimer's Society Dementia Support Manager, Kate Atkins said: "Relatives of people with dementia often say that it can be really frustrating when someone doesn't want to change their clothes, have a shower or sleep at night, especially if the person doesn't accept that there is anything wrong with them.
"Understanding how the person is trying to make sense of the world, and how they feel about the losses they are experiencing, can help relatives to be more patient and cope better. This, in turn, helps the person with dementia to be more content.
"The workshops will also help people to better understand the changes that occur as dementia progresses and there will be the opportunity for carers to discuss the difficulties they face and what tactics work for them.'
The free four week programme takes place on Thursday 6, 13, 20 and 27 March at Cass Hall, King Street, Driffield YO25 6QW, 1.30 to 4pm.
For more information and to book a place, please contact the Hull and East Riding office of Alzheimer's Society on 01482 211255 or email@example.com

Varsity Team of the Week: Villa Maria bowling
It was understandable why Villa Maria bowling coach Doug Klick expressed so much preseason enthusiasm about the 2014 Victors.
Not only were they the Metro League's defending champions, but they also were scheduled to return their entire starting lineup.
How did Villa respond?
"Well," Klick said, "I'd say they responded well. They were up to the task."
The Victors repeated as league titlists with a perfect 10-0 season. They concluded it with a 27½-½ win over Central Tech at Eastland Bowl on Feb. 19. Klick went with an all-senior lineup against the Falcons.
Victoria Murawski led Villa with her 501 series. She was followed by Jackie Colish (490), Caroline Power (473), Rebecca Patterson (464), Megan Kovacs (459) and Ayan Arop (384).
Junior Christine Matson and sophomore Marina Orlando have been two of Klick's regular starters. Freshman Miranda Matson rounds out the Victors' roster.
Villa will compete March 7-8 in the Pennsylvania Western Region's tournaments at the North Versailles Bowling Center near Pittsburgh.

"The real issue, if the judge has to decide it, is whether or not the courtroom is constitutional," Burke said.

Today's edition of Real Estate News Daily. I'm working on a new format to highlight just the top 5 stories you need to know. Your feedback is always welcome in the comments or at firstname.lastname@example.com.
1. Oregon's response to housing crisis slow: The Pew Center on the States does not give Oregon high marks for its response to the housing crisis. The center updated its study from earlier this year to provide a state-by-state look at the response. Oregon had taken action on only two of seven categories to limit high-cost lending and help home owners avoid foreclosure. Oregon Sen. Ben Westlund introduced a bill in last February's special session to curb high-cost lending but it failed to make it out of the Legislature. I haven't seen any signs that the Legislature plans new lending reforms in 2009 or heard talk of a foreclosure moratorium. The center quotes a Center for Responsible Lending study that estimates 1 in 34 Oregon will go through a foreclosure because of a high-cost loan and 43 percent of all homeowners will experience the ripple effects of foreclosures on subprime loans.
2. Oregon college savings dives with mortgage-backed securities: My podmate Brent Hunsberger broke the story this morning: One of the most conservative funds in the Oregon College Savings Plan has lost 38 percent of its value this year -- when comparable funds posted 4 percent gains -- and its manager has left his position at OppenheimerFunds Inc. Those hit hardest are thousands of parents who invested in funds considered among the safest. They were marketed to families with students either about to enter college or already enrolled who can't afford and didn't expect to take losses. "We're sick about that because folks are ready to use the money, and that investment should not have done that," said Michael Parker, executive director of the Oregon 529 College Savings Network. "This will not happen again." ... The Core Bond Fund got into trouble when it began investing early this year in cheap mortgage-backed securities and corporate bonds, Morningstar said. Those later became worthless as the housing market tanked and credit froze up. Moringstar's report starts with this line: "What's been going on with Oppenheimer's bond funds has been so unbelievable that, well, we didn't believe it."
3. Stock market today vs. Great Depression: Great perspective here on this market compared against other big drops in U.S. history.
4. D-Day for convention center hotel: Metro's got a big decision today on the fate of the convention center hotel. It appeared earlier in the week that they'd just extend their agreement with the hotel developers to April. But there's still talk of terminating the deal all together. I'll post an update here later.
5. Mortgage rates plunge: The average 30-year fixed rate mortgage fell to 5.19 percent -- the lowest rate ever recorded by Freddie Mac since 1971. That's down from last week's 5.47 percent average, and far below the average of 6.14 percent recorded last year at this time, according to Freddie Mac's weekly survey published Thursday.

TouchBook Touch User Interface (TUI) to be used by NASA
October 1, 2006 Somatic Digital announced today that it will provide NASA Goddard Flight Center with its TouchBook Touch User Interface (TUI) platform. The TUI is to the printed page what the Graphic User Interface (GUI) is to the computer screen. It is an open convergence technology that enables readers of normally printed materials to touch the page and retrieve digital content or launch communication applications on a computer. Currently, the TUI can retrieve digital content and launch communication applications via Windows XP or Mac OS X. The functions that can be driven from a web page can also be conducted from a printed page.
The TUI enables a bridge over the digital divide because it eliminates barriers that previously prevented people from connecting to digital content.
The TUI enables books to be customized to prescriptively meet the particular needs of the reader. Properly designed TUI-based TouchBooks should meet the requirements outlined in the National Instructional Materials Accessibility Standard (NIMAS) and the inclusive learning requirements of laws such as the Individuals with Disabilities Act, No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act, and Sections 504 and 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1979.
According to Jason E. Barkeloo, President, Somatic Digital, "We are pleased to provide our technology to NASA. Their vision and commitment to providing printed and digital science content to everyone in a universally designed way makes them an ideal customer for the TUI technology." The terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Though the two had met through mutual friends years earlier, something just clicked once the relationship turned romantic.
"We'd been friends for years but something profoundly different happened between us that I had never felt before," Keibler, 34, tells PEOPLE. "Quite simply, it was just magic and that's when I knew."
The feeling was mutual. "What makes me so happy with Stacy is her positive energy – it's contagious and she makes everyone around her in a good mood," says Pobre, who founded Future Ads, a private interactive company based in Irvine, Calif., in 2001.
By 2009, Future Ads, a successful digital media platform for online advertising, app distribution and gaming monetization, was one of the fastest-growing companies in the country.
Now that they're married, the globetrotting couple acknowledge they're excited to settle down.
"I'm extremely excited about starting a family one day and building a future with Stacy doing the things we enjoy such as travel, shared hobbies and our passion for cooking," says the Orange County, Calif., native raised by parents Gladys Lowenstein and Joe Pobre (his sister Audrey Webb's two young sons were ring bearers at the couple's March 8 nuptials).
"Independently we've both had wonderful experiences in our lives but now can make it truly special as a team and enjoy doing all the things we love together," he adds.
Calling him "my soulmate," Keibler describes Pobre as "very smart, loving and thoughtful, giving and kind." She adds that he has "a real sense of proper values. And I love how spontaneity is something we can both appreciate."
And there's one more thing Keibler is embracing about her husband: his last name. She tells PEOPLE, "I'm Stacy Pobre now!"

Reading Japanese
The Japanese writing system, alongside the familiar ideographs (kanji) uses two sets of symbols (~alphabets), the cursive Hiragana and the angular Katakana. Both are used in conjuction, yet Katakana is mostly used for foreign words and sounds. The following table is oriented towards those who already have a basic understading of Japanese yet do still need to refresh their memory when it comes to recognising kana.

Eppu Normaali
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (March 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)

Eppu Normaali is one of the most popular rock bands in Finland. The band formed in 1976 in Ylöjärvi, a small town near Tampere. The band is the best-selling music artist in Finland, with certified sales surpassing 1.5 million records,[1] and it has also gained success especially in the use of the Finnish language in rock lyrics. In addition to their studio albums, Eppu Normaali also released live records, DVDs, and over 20 singles.
Eppu Normaali's most famous songs include "Vuonna '85" (In the Year '85), "Kitara, taivas ja tähdet" (The Guitar, the Sky and the Stars), "Murheellisten laulujen maa" (Land of Sad Songs), "Pimeyden tango" (Tango of Darkness), "Suolaista sadetta" (Salty Rain) and "Tahroja paperilla" (Stains on Paper).
The members of the original band were Juha Torvinen (guitar), Mikko Saarela (bass), Aku Syrjä (drums), and brothers Martti Syrjä (vocals) and Mikko "Pantse" Syrjä (guitar). (The brothers are the sons of accomplished writers Kirsi Kunnas and Jaakko Syrjä).[2] In 1979, bassist Mikko Saarela left the band, and Mikko Nevalainen played bass with Eppu Normaali until 1989. The current bassist is Sami Ruusukallio.
The band took its name from a character in the Mel Brooks movie Young Frankenstein, and the subtitler translated the name of the character Abby Normal (abnormal) into the Finnish equivalent Eppu Normaali (epänormaali, roughly 'abnormal'; a Finnish equivalent of the original play with words).
In 1977, the band participated in a local rock music competition. Finnish folk/pop legend Juice Leskinen was present and issued a demand that they "must win", but the judges were unimpressed—the band did not win. The band began sending demos to various record companies and they were soon signed to Poko Rekords.
They initially released albums in a punk pop style that gained favourable reviews, but the band did not gain mainstream acceptance until 1984 with what had evolved into a more AOR-oriented music style. Rupisia Riimejä Karmeita Tarinoita was released in 1984, and it was followed by Kahdeksas Ihme in 1985 and Valkoinen Kupla in 1986. This trio of albums were all hits, with combined sales of over 300,000 copies. Kahdeksas Ihme is their top-selling non-greatest hits record to date.[1]
Although their albums all sold well, the band decided to take a break in 1989 after intensive tours around the country and when Mikko Nevalainen left the group. In 1993, they released Studio Etana, which was to become their last studio album for eleven years. The band came close to breaking up, citing "lacking inspiration" as the primary cause. Their 1996 release Repullinen hittejä, a greatest hits compilation sold over 240,000 copies,[3] reaching the top of the Finnish charts. This record also stayed on the charts for over two years, a duration which is second of all time in Finland.[3] After its release, the band effectively stopped touring or performing live.[2]
In 2004, the band announced they would record a new album, Sadan vuoden päästäkin, which became one of the band's most successful releases.[1] In 2007, they released their most recent album, Syvään päähän.

TORONTO - For the last five seasons, Flyers goaltending coach Jeff Reese has carefully tracked Steve Mason. Poring over hours of highlights, Reese broke down a good portion of Mason's starts with the Blue Jackets, beginning with his Calder Trophy season in 2008-09.
Mason, 24, was acquired from Columbus before Wednesday's trade deadline in exchange for Michael Leighton and a third-round pick. Reese had a lot to do with that.
Mason has fallen so far from that rookie of the year season that it's easy to forget that he was one of only five goalies invited to Canada's Olympic tryout camp in 2010, when he was 21. Martin Brodeur, Marc-Andre Fleury, Roberto Luongo and Cam Ward were the others, even leaving the Canadiens' Carey Price off the list.

Teaching children respect comes from showing them respect and being supported by the community.
As a parent, I have always attempted to teach my children respect, respect for themselves, adults, other children, and even materialistic items. Respect can mean different things to different people; but basically, respect means to show regard or consideration for someone or something. Parents teach their children respect in many different ways; however, the best way to teach a child about respect is for children to see adults respecting themselves, their children and others.
Children in general are greatly influenced throughout their day by adults, whether it be a parent, teacher or coach and observing respectful adult behavior helps children learn the value of respect and how to use it to their advantage. Unfortunately, each and every one of us has probably witnessed a coach, parent or another adult be disrespectful to a child in one way or another.
As adults, we should hold these people, people of authority, accountable for this behavior.
At a recent Central Blair Recreation Commission elementary basketball game, I witnessed a coach call a timeout and then proceed to grab a child by his shirt. I was told the player was the coach's son. I don't think that should matter. Grabbing the child by his shirt was inappropriate.
As a community member and parent, I wonder if we don't take a stance and stick up for children, who should we blame when the children in our community are engaging in negative behaviors?
Society always wants to point fingers and blame parents when children get into trouble and display disrespect; however, today's children are being influenced by more than their parents.
As a society, if we do not hold adults, our coaches and their supervisors or program administrators alike accountable for inappropriate behaviors then why should we blame the children when they engage in inappropriate behaviors in the community?
As the saying goes "It takes a village to raise a child."
Parents, teachers, coaches, and other community adults need to be part of that village.

Ohlendorf victory $ign of times
With March Madness just around the corner and the NFL possibly gearing up for a lock down for the 2011 season, my mind turns to spring training and the "Boys of Summer."
I have been a longtime baseball fan and still find it in my heart to pull for the LA Dodgers, even though they haven't won a World Series since 1988. Yeah, I know how those Pirate loyalists are feeling and wonder if 2011 will be another lost year.
Not long ago, I found a small article on Pirate pitcher Ross Ohlendorf, who won an arbitration hearing against his employer. Let's take a look at how he won his arbitration award of $2,025,000.
In 2009, he went 11-10 in 21 starts with the Pirates. In 2010, he compiled a 1-11 record with an ERA of 4.07 in 21 starts. Now keep in mind that his employer went a major league-worst 57-105 record.
The Pirates have gone through a miserable drought with how many losing seasons so far? And the Pirate organization is in a small market with one of the lowest payrolls in major league baseball.
But here is the 28-year-old Ohlendorf being awarded a raise from $439,000 to $2,025,000 per year. Let me tell you that $439,000 is not bad money for a mediocre baseball pitcher. The Pirates, as poor as they are, felt Ohlendorf was worth a raise to $l,400,000.
I would call that a great employer and feel very lucky to get that. Now, these three arbitrators who heard the case don't have a vested interest. They are appointed by MLB. It sure was no heartburn on their conscience what their decision was. They didn't have to take the money out of their pockets.
Professional sports have changed since I first got interested with the New York Giants, the Dodgers, New York Knicks and Rangers. In short, professional baseball players are spoiled, greedy people playing a kid's game for money.
Loyalty? What loyalty? The players' agents and union are all greedy and only care about what they get in support of the player. Professional sports are the only business where a player signs a longterm contract and never has to take a pay cut if he produces negative numbers during any one year of the given contract.
What a life!

Slam or sham??Griffin title predictable
Blake Griffin won the NBA's Slam Dunk contest. Surprise, surprise.
I think we all know that, unless he fell flat on his face, this contest was settled in the months leading up to the event. Night-in and night-out, sports fans flip on ESPN to find Griffin wowing fans with freakishly athletic dunks.
He wasn't the only star showing off his dunking ability in this year's contest. Each athlete had some pretty amazing dunks such as JaVale McGee of the Washington Wizards dunking two balls simultaneously.
However, that contest was over before it started. While the fans had the final say, it became extremely obvious that the NBA wanted Blake Griffin to be the poster boy of the Dunk Contest.
By allowing him to use a car as a prop, David Stern was already allowing Griffin a huge advantage over his competitors. As a rising star in the NBA, Griffin winning this contest means much more than if a 7-foot backup center on a last-place team (McGee) won it.
It also helped that the festivities were held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. That combined with the fact that Blake cleared a car didn't help McGee's chances one bit.
While I enjoyed watching the contest, it just didn't seem fair this year, and that is a real shame.

Sometimes such models may be prepared first in order to guide the construction of the actual structure, which would be far bigger than the model. Models are generally made of wax, plastics or plywood, depending on the shape & flexibility needed. Many people construct such models as a hobby, rather than profession. However, construction projects & museums in Fayette often hire such personnel for constructing the desired models.

Deere (NYSE: DE ) reported earnings this morning, and investors are less than pleased. Shares are down about 2% today after third-quarter results came in.
Deere beat estimates on the top and bottom lines, including a record $997 million in earnings. However, the company provided a middling outlook for the rest of the fiscal year. Deere, known for its iconic tractors and lawnmowers, is struggling in forestry and construction sales, posting an 11% decline. The company expects to finish the 2013 fiscal year with an 8% decline in construction sales, while agriculture sales will end with an approximately 7% gain.
The stock itself has had an underwhelming year, growing less than 3% compared to the S&P 500's 20% leap. Motley Fool industrials analyst Isaac Pino explains that while there were negative aspects to this report, Deere expects double-digit growth in Latin American sales. As these countries continue to develop, Isaac sees Deere's stock benefiting in the long term.
The best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

Babble Blogger Saves Her Children But Loses Home to FireCarolyn Castiglia
Babble blogger Monica Bielanko – who writes for Strollerderby, Being Pregnant and Toddler Times – lost the Pennsylvania home she and her husband Serge recently relocated to from Utah to fire yesterday. The news came as a total shock to all of us here and of course to Monica, who was home with her two children, Violet (age 2) and baby Henry, when the fire started around 1 pm. At 1:22 Bielanko tweeted, "MY HOUSE IN FIRE. EVERYTHING WE OWN," followed by "UP IN FLAMES. FIRE AND SMOKE EVERYWHERE" and "FIREFIGHTERS SPRAYING FROM OUTSIDE. CAN'T GO IN. OH DEAIR JESUS GOD OH MY GOD EVERYTHING."
The Centre Daily Times reports, "The fire, which gutted the second story of the house, was brought under control within an hour, but firefighters at 2:30 p.m. continued to douse hot spots."
Babble blogger Katie Allison Granju spoke to Monica last night, and relayed via a post on Mama Pundit that "the cause of the blaze isn't known yet," but "the fire appears to have started in or somewhere near Violet's upstairs bedroom," where the 2-year-old was playing alone at the time. Granju wrote, "Monica had the horrifying experience of having to rescue her baby girl from a room already engulfed in flames."
Granju says, "While it will take days or more to determine the full extent of the loss of their belongings, we already know that the losses are extensive. Additionally, while they are able to stay with Serge's mom for now, we know for certain that the family will have to relocate soon to a new rental home, and start completely over. And unfortunately and to their eternal regret they were not adequately covered by renters' insurance." So here's how we can help:
You can donate any amount you see fit (Granju says, "even $5 helps!") to the Bielanko Family Fire Emergency Fundraiser, either via PayPal at email address email@example.com (please indicate that your gift is for the Bielanko Family Fire Fund) or by sending a check to Serge and Monica Bielanko, Bielanko Family Fire Fund/4300 Fulton Dr./Knoxville, TN 37918. Finally, you can also send a gift certificate or card from either Target or Walmart (both local to the Bielankos) to be used toward groceries, gas or clothing/shoes for the children. Please send gift certificates by email to firstname.lastname@example.com.
For more information on fundraising efforts, visit Mama Pundit. You can send a message of support to Monica via Twitter, or by leaving a comment below.

Michael Vick must be sleeping in a hyperbaric chamber, living in the whirlpool, pedaling the bike for miles, and praying to the football gods that he has done enough to ease the pain in his chest. The Atlanta Falcons are up next, and there is no doubt that Vick would love nothing better than to stick it to his former team - again - on Sunday.
That said, there is likely one person who wants Vick to return to the Eagles' lineup even more than Vick does. That person is DeSean Jackson.
Jackson would never say it, of course. That would be too scandalous, too controversial, too much a back stab at Kevin Kolb, the man Jackson wanted to be the man, at least until Vick burst back onto the scene.

In today's information economy, good business is all about reliable data. To all intents and purposes, the corporate data - including information about customers, products, employees, materials and suppliers - is the business. But how deeply does the UK trust its core data - or even care about its accuracy?
Not much, according to a poll of UK IT decision makers by Computing, which found that over 40 percent of these senior IT strategists accept that their data is unreliable and may not meet their business needs.
In the majority of organisations data problems start at the input stage. To cite a more recent adage beloved of DBAs: "rubbish in, rubbish out".

Would you like to follow in the footsteps of over 5000 years of human history? This guide to the Ridgeway National Trail in south east England allows you to do exactly that. Discover the extraordinary sights our ancestors have left us here, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Avebury's Neolithic stone circle and the famous Uffington White Horse.
The trail is an 87-mile (139km) route that typically takes between five and seven days to complete. It is well waymarked, follows good tracks and paths and, by not exceeding 300m, is fairly low-level throughout. The guide is written as a 12-stage west-to-east route, but also gives details of the trail in reverse.
The Ridgeway has been here for thousands of years, and follows old tracks that have been in use since prehistoric times. Passing Neolithic burial mounds and Iron Age hill forts, the landscape really is steeped in history.
The guidebook also offers information on historic sites and details of excursions to nearby towns and villages, as well as practical information on useful contacts and accommodation.
We are always grateful to readers for information about any discrepancies between a guidebook and the facts on the ground. If you would like to send some information to us then please use our Feedback form. They will be published here following review by the author(s).

New Mac OS X 10.6.6 Golden Master Edition Seeded To Developers
Just weeks after Apple released Mac OS X 10.6.5 to its customers, the company is learned to be already in the process of releasing the next major release. A new version of the upcoming Mac OS X 10.6.6 – termed Build 10J537 – has now been released to developers and is available for download.
What's interesting is that this new build has been dubbed the Golden Master edition to developers who access the application via the Mac App Store developer program. GM editions are basically those versions of software releases that are released just prior to a public release and are considered to be the last of the test releases. Dubbing the recent release as a GM edition could mean another public release of Mac OS X is just round the corner.
We wonder if this could happen before the new year though.
Free & Easy Hack To Enable AirPrint On Shared Printers With Mac Computers
Apple quite under-delivered on their promise when they scrapped highly anticipated features like wireless printing from iOS 4.2 for shared printers on Mac and Windows computers. As it eventually turned out, the feature has now been limited to a select few models of HP printers.
Nevertheless, if you are a Mac user, you now have a free utility that can enable AirPrint for shared printers in your computer's network. Called the AirPrint Hactivator for Mac OS X, the application basically modifies just one file that is then backed up before the updated files are installed. Upon completion of the installation process, users have to simply remove and add the shared printers back to the computer in order to begin using AirPrint with these printers.
Netputing, the developers of the application, have carried the software through a number of iterations and you can download the latest v. 1.7 from the developers' website here. As always, don't forget to tell us your views on the software in the comments below.
Grand Theft Auto For Mac – Download Now Available
Rockstar Games, the New York based developers of the popular gaming trilogy – Grand Theft Auto have announced that the popular gaming series is now available for download for Mac OS X computers. The trilogy is made of three ultra-popular games – Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto III.
While this is definitely a great news for Mac users, the game has taken a long time coming. The first ever GTA game was released on Microsoft Windows way back in 1997. Anyway, for those of you eager to start playing the game on your iMacs, you can download them from the GameTreeOnline website at a price of $14.99 each. If you are in Europe, you may also check out the title at popular retail outlets in your city. Retailers in the United States and Canada are expected to begin stocking the titles starting November 22.
Download Mac OS X 10.6.5 – Link & Features
Apple has announced that the new Mac OS X 10.6.5 version is now available for download from the company website. The new version of the OS comes with a number of updates that improve the stability, compatibility and security of the software. Updates introduced on the platform include improved reliability with Microsoft Exchange servers, improved performance of MainStage, additional stability and performance fix for graphics related applications and games and a resolution to a persistent printing issue that was observed when some HP printers were connected to AirPort Extreme. The full list of performance and stability fixes is given here.
Apple has noted that the latest update is recommended for all Mac OS X users, including those who have the Mac OS X 10.6.4 version that was introduced in June of this year. You can download the latest update by clicking here.
Now Buy Microsoft Office 2011 For Mac – Software Officially Launches
We always knew this was coming and after Microsoft announced last week that an announcement was due on Tuesday, it was more or less confirmed that the new Microsoft Office 2011 productivity suite for Mac was releasing this week. Now it has.
The new Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac is now available for public consumption and brings with it, all the expected suite of applications like Word, Excel and Powerpoint. And perhaps in what should come as a huge relief, Microsoft has finally replaced Entourage with Outlook in the latest release.
A single license of the Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac software should cost Home and Student users between $109.99 and $149.99. On the other hand, for business users, this application should cost higher between $174.99 and $279.99.
Of course, the price is going to be cheaper if you are checking it out from third party retailers like Amazon.
AutoCAD For Mac Price & Launch Announced
Eighteen years after Autodesk, the developers of the popular AutoCAD software moved away from the Mac platform, the company has announced that they are making a reentry with the launch of the latest version of AutoCAD on the Mac platform. AutoCAD, as you know is the most popular 3D visualization software used by engineers and mechanical designers for the Windows platform.
According to early reviews, the Mac interface for AutoCAD is nearly the same as the one available for Windows and so any transition from the Windows to Mac platforms should be a non-issue. The software is not cheap though – as expected. Apart from students and educators looking for personal use, the AutoCAD software for Mac is priced at a high $3975. Of course, this is the norm for software packages designed for enterprise use.
It is also worth noting that Autodesk had released their free AutoCAD WS app for iPhone and iPad last month.
Microsoft Office 2011 For Mac Being Shipped To Apple
Microsoft has announced that the company has completed its final testing of the 2011 version of its Office for Mac software and that it is ready for RTM (Release to Manufacturing). This would mean that the software shall now start being shipped to customers and to Apple for installation in its production units.
The latest Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac brings a number of tweaks and though it will bring many more features that were hitherto available only on the Windows version, the experience is said to be more Mac-like. This includes the duplicating Apple's 'ribbon effect'.
The actual date of release is still under wraps though we heard not so long ago that the product is expected to officially start shipping from October 26. That is also in line with speculations from earlier this month over an October release.
Check out the "behind-the-scenes" video released by the Macintosh Business Unit.
Microsoft Office For Mac 2011 Edition To Ship From October 26?
Folks at 9to5Mac have got hold of a nice bit of information with respect to the launch of the new Microsoft Office 2011 package for Mac. According to details posted on Amazon, the new software should begin shipping from October 26th this year.
This is the first time a specific date for the new product has been available. Earlier this year, the company had officially announced the price of the Office for Mac 2011 edition and had indicated that the software will be available in October. The latest version of the software is expected to be much closer to the Windows version and is expected to reinstate support for Visual Basic applications that were dropped in the 2008 edition. Office 2011 for Mac is also expected to bring improved support for Exchange.
Amazon has put up all three editions, namely Student, Professional and Home up for sale on their website.
Price Of MS Office 2011 For Mac Announced
Microsoft had recently begun sending out beta invites for its latest Mac-compatible Office 2011 suite. Now, the Redmond based company has officially announced the prices for its Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac software. As expected, the cost of the different editions are a tad lower than the 2008 MSRP. Microsoft is obviously trying to price the software aggressively in order to make the application much more ubiquitous in the Mac segment where Apple's own software have ruled the roost so far.
So here are the prices of the various editions of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac
Single License
Student Edition :$119
Office for Mac Home & Business : $199
Academic Version : $99
Family License
Student Edition : $149
Office for Mac Home & Business : $279
The Student and Home editions will come with Word, Powerpoint, Excel along with Microsoft's instant messaging app for Mac OS X. With the business edition, users may also get hold of Outlook for Mac that will include email, calendar and contacts integration. The MS Outlook for Mac shall replace Entourage as the communication application. The academic version will only be available to those who are enrolled or employed at academic institutions.
The new Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac is expected to launch in October though customers who purchase the 2008 software starting today are eligible for a free upgrade later.
Mac App Store Rumor False – Steve Jobs Clarifies
A couple of days back, we had a shocker of a rumor that claimed that Apple could soon be integrating its Mac OS X platform to the iTunes store so that only Apple approved software could be downloaded and installed on the platform.
Steve Jobs has now clarified that this is plainly a rumor and there is no truth to it. At least it appears so as we obviously cannot vouch for the authenticity of an email that transpired between a Mac user and Steve Jobs.
To a question, "There's a rumor saying there will be a Mac App Store and no software without authorization from Apple will run on Mac OS X. Is that true?", Steve Jobs has comprehensively answered that this will not be the case.

Police have arrested a man in the stabbing of an acquaintance in Hunterdon Co., N.J., over the weekend.
The alleged assault happened early Saturday morning in the Hunter Hills apartment complex in Flemington.
Officers responded for the report of a man cut with an unknown object. They arrived to find that the victim suffered a laceration to his neck, police said. He was rushed to the trauma center at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital for treatment.
The subsequent investigation identified Florencio Salvador Reyes-Cruz as the suspect.
"Mr. Reyes-Cruz allegedly slashed at the victim's neck with a small knife for an unknown reason while drinking in the victim's apartment. He then fled the scene prior to police arrival," said Anthony Kearns, Hunterdon County prosecutor.
Detectives were able to track down Reyes-Cruz to a location on Route 22 in Readington Township, Kearns said. He was charged with aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a weapon. He was committed to the Hunterdon County Jail on $50,000 bail.
Authorities said they later learned that Reyes-Cruz was sought in a similar incident in Pennsylvania, but they did not elaborate on the case.

Faculty Spotlight: Playwriting with Steven Dietz, Kirk Lynn and Suzan Zeder
Students of our demanding M.F.A. Playwriting program need look no further than to their own faculty for inspiration and prime of examples of this charge.
The UT Austin M.F.A. in Playwriting curriculum emphasizes the generation and revision of new work and progressive collaborations with fellow writers and artists. Students of this demanding program need look no further than to their own faculty for inspiration and prime of examples of this charge.
One of the nation's leading playwrights for family audiences, Professor Suzan Zeder's The Edge of Peace was commissioned and developed by Seattle Children's Theatre and presented at Northwestern in conjunction with the American Alliance for Theatre and Education's (AATE) national conference this past July. Zeder is a three-time winner of the Distinguished Play Award given by AATE.
Lecturer Kirk Lynn and his company Rude Mechs are being produced coast to coast. The Method Gun is on tour now and was most recently seen at the Philadelphia Live Arts Festival in September. If you live in the Los Angeles area, you just missed I've Never Been So Happy presented by Center Theatre Group at the Kirk Douglas Theatre in October. New York City audiences, there's still time to catch Lynn's How Much is Enough?: Our Values in Question presented by the Foundry Theatre at St Ann's Warehouse through November 27.
Recent recipient of the Creative Research Award at the Robert W. Hamilton Book Awards, Professor Steven Dietz also accepted the 2011-2012 Ingram New Works Fellowship earlier this fall for which he will write a new play to premiere at the Ingram New Works Festival May 30 – June 9, 2012. Dietz's 360 (round dance) will take our very own Oscar G. Brockett Theatre stage this Friday, November 11.

There are currently 405 children in Union County who are in out-of-home placement due to abuse or neglect, and yet only 132 have the benefit of a CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) volunteer.
As more children enter the foster care system the need for more CASA volunteers to represent these children is growing. On Tuesday, May 27, Judge Daniel R. Lindemann swore in 10 new volunteers from the 24th graduating class. Having these CASA volunteers will enable us to take on additional cases, which will represent approximately 20 children.
"We are extremely pleased to officially welcome our newest group of remarkable individuals to our program," said Dominic Prophete, Executive Director, CASA of Union County. "We are grateful to celebrate the heart, compassion and strengths of another diverse group of volunteers who are willing to give their personal time and energies to making a difference in the lives of children." We welcome to the CASA family Taryn Adams, Virginie Cinnatus, Charmaine Cousins, Barbara Kaporch, Diana Labua, Nicole Mingo-Horton, Sasha Ortiz, Julissa Perez, Letitia Sweat, and Jane Yarnell. Each of these individuals is committed to the mission of CASA and ensuring that each child will be placed in a safe and permanent home.
As a CASA volunteer they are charged with establishing a relationship of trust with a child that is currently in out-of-home placement, and advocating for his or her best interests. CASA volunteers are "the voice" for these children in court and with the child welfare systems, making sure they are safe, receiving the services they need, and ultimately placed in permanent homes.
Do you have a heart for children, become a CASA volunteer. Now is the time, be a part of the next class. For more information, visit casaofunioncounty.org or call 908-527-7049. As a CASA volunteer there is no specific educational or professional background. All that is asked is to be compassionate and objective.

Great luck with this car
by Integra RS owner from San Francisco, CA | April 27, 2007
I've had a '90 Integra RS stick shift since '98. It's starting to look a little worn. Seats and paint fading, but I can't bring myself to sell it because the engine is holding up so well. A little more than 3 years ago I replaced the timing belt for the second time and I haven't had to do anything but replace fluids and spark plugs since. Previous to that I did have to do a few jobs on it, but nothing out of the scope of what you'd expect from a used car. That said, I think I should point out the minor negatives for those considering this car. - The windows don't seal. On the highway you'll hear a rushing noise the whole time. This isn't due to age. It's always had this problem. - The seats lack lumbar and can be a little uncomfortable on long trips. - The back bucket seat makes it practical for only two people. - No cup holders, but if you're buying a car this age I suspect you can build your own. - Apparently fairly easy to break into for those who know the trick. - Keep an eye out for drive axel boot tears. They seem to be particularly vulnerable. If you catch them in time you won't have to pay for a whole drive axel.

UT Collections
Following a decade of work in post-World War II Europe with various U.S. government offices, Michael Josselson decided to help lead the newly created Congress for Cultural Freedom (CCF), a liberal, anti-Communist organization founded by American and European intellectuals to expose Communist cultural oppression and to oppose all forms of totalitarian rule. As the Administrative Secretary of the CCF, Josselson arranged for financing of organizations that operated as fronts to channel CIA funds. After his resignation, Josselson continued to informally advise former CCF associates who created a new organization, the International Association for Cultural Freedom, which disavowed the CCF and the CIA but continued many of the CCF's programs. Collection documents include research notes, reports, maps and correspondence.1914-1991, (bulk: 1960-1978)
In 1979, Carla J. Hagen and four other researchers and photographers (Dan Dickey, María Flores, Félix Peña, and Scott Van Osdol) worked on a project funded by a National Endowment for the Humanities grant and administered through the Southwest Center for Policy Studies in Austin, Texas. They collected 60 songs from migrant workers in the Rio Grande Valley region of Texas, and photographed musicians, informants, and the environment in which migrants live and work.
This collection documents the music and experiences of migrant agricultural workers in the Texas border region.

This artificial collection describes various individual manuscripts or small manuscript groups that have been accessioned into the Benson Latin American Collection over many years.
Morris Ernst (1888-1976) was an American lawyer and one of the leading advocates of civil liberties in 20th-century America. Ernst served on President Truman's Committee on Civil Rights and as counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) (and later director emeritus) where he defended individual rights and freedom in numerous landmark federal cases on privacy, libel, slander, obscenity, censorship, birth control, abortion, and labor issues. However, Ernst also feared communist influence and helped establish a loyalty oath policy within the ACLU. In his lifetime, Ernst worked with controversial figures such as birth control activist Margaret Sanger, Dominican Republic dictator Rafael Trujuillo, and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.
The career and personal life of Ernst are documented from 1904 to 2000 through correspondence and memoranda; research materials and notes; minutes, reports, briefs, and other legal documents; handwritten and typed manuscripts; galley proofs; clippings; scrapbooks; audio recordings; photographs; and ephemera.1904-2000
LLEGÓ, the National Latino/a Lesbian and Gay Organization, was founded in 1987 during the National March for Lesbian and Gay Rights in Washington, DC. The organization provided a variety of programs, campaigns and publications to the Latino gay and lesbian community until its close in 2004. LLEGÓ's work focused particularly on local political leadership, national policy work and AIDS awareness. Materials in the collection include administrative and program documents for the organization's 17 years of work.1987-2004

The LaFarge collection contains papers, manuscripts, and correspondence relating to Indian rights and the Hopi Constitution. The collection also includes works of non-fiction, novels and short stories, and the book A Pictorial History of the American Indians.1886-1966, (bulk: 1924-1966)
"Operation Fine Girl: Rape Used As a Weapon of War in Sierra Leone" looks at the widespread and strategic use of rape and sexual violence against women – many of them young girls and teenagers – during the decade-long civil war in Sierra Leone, the world's poorest country. "Operation Fine Girl" was produced by and for the Oxygen network's Worth The Risk series, in partnership with WITNESS, who put together Binta Mansaray, their local partner in Sierra Leone, and Academy Award-nominated director Lilibet Foster to make the documentary. The collection includes interviews with victims of sexual violence; interviews with medical, legal, and other professionals; footage of political figures; footage of ceremonies, parades, commemoration events, campaign events, and other events; and raw footage of daily life in Sierra Leone. The collection also includes the finished documentary in English and Krio, as well as an excerpted version in English. Materials are in English and Krio.2001-2002, undated

Roger Casement (1864–1916) was a consular diplomat, tireless campaigner for human rights, and Irish nationalist who was convicted of high treason and hanged in 1916. Although Casement's homosexuality was not an explicit factor during his trial, it was exploited afterward to discourage any case for clemency. The Ottoline Morrell (1873–1938) collection includes drafts of petitions for clemency for Roger Casement and a general account of his activities from 1914 until his arrest, as well as a small amount of correspondence with Casement's cousin, Gertrude Bannister. The Center also has a copy of Queer People (1922), written by Basil Thomson, Assistant Commissioner of Scotland Yard, which includes several pages describing his impressions of Casement during his interrogation on Easter Sunday, 1916.1882-1946, (bulk: 1882-1938)
In 1984 Pan American Films released En nombre del pueblo/In the Name of the People, a documentary of the Salvadoran Revolution. The film was directed by journalist Frank Christopher, produced by Alex Drehsler, and narrated by actor Martin Sheen.1982-1983

Anna Karenina (Movie Tie-in Edition)by Leo Tolstoy Louise Maude Alymer Maude
The official movie tie-in to the major motion picture starring Keira Knightly, Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, directed by Joe Wright, including a screenplay by Tom Stoppard.Leo Tolstoy's classic story of doomed love is one of the most admired novels in world literature. Generations of readers have been enthralled by his magnificent heroine, the unhappily married Anna Karenina, and her tragic affair with dashing Count Vronsky.In their world frivolous liaisons are commonplace, but Anna and Vronsky's consuming passion makes them a target for scorn and leads to Anna's increasing isolation. The heartbreaking trajectory of their relationship contrasts sharply with the colorful swirl of friends and family members who surround them, especially the newlyweds Kitty and Levin, who forge a touching bond as they struggle to make a life together. Anna Karenina is a masterpiece not only because of the unforgettable woman at its core and the stark drama of her fate, but also because it explores and illuminates the deepest questions about how to live a fulfilled life. Translated by Louise and Aylmer Maude
The Devilby Leo Tolstoy Louise Maude Alymer Maude
"I am acting badly," thought Yevgeny, "But what's one to do? Anyhow it is not for long."Leo Tolstoy is known for epic novels that brilliantly dissect society, but the novella The Devil may be the most personally revealing--and startling--fiction he ever wrote. He thought it so scandalous, in fact, that he hid the manuscript in the upholstery of a chair in his office so his wife wouldn't find it, and he would never allow it to be published in his lifetime.Perhaps that's because the gripping tale of an aristocratic landowner slowly overcome with unrelenting sexual desire for one of the peasants on his estate was strikingly similar to an affair Tolstoy himself had. Regardless, the tale--presented here with the two separate endings Tolstoy couldn't decide between--is a scintillating study of sexual attraction and human obsession. The Art of The Novella Series Too short to be a novel, too long to be a short story, the novella is generally unrecognized by academics and publishers. Nonetheless, it is a form beloved and practiced by literature's greatest writers. In the Art Of The Novella series, Melville House celebrates this renegade art form and its practitioners with titles that are, in many instances, presented in book form for the first time.
"In the Days of Serfdom" and Other Storiesby Leo Tolstoy Louise Maude Aylmer Maude Marilyn Atlas
"In the Days of Serfdom" and Other Stories, originally published in 1911, presents in miniature themes developed in Tolstoy's longer works War and Peace and Anna Karenina. The compelling stories in this collection have largely been ignored by contemporary scholars and teachers because of their general unavailability. Available once again, the stories reveal new thematic and stylisitic dimensions to Tolstoy's oeuvre.While not all of the stories deal with actual serfdom, they all address the legacy of serfdom, of choicelessness, in Tolstoy's Russia. These stories are also thoroughly modern, concerned as they are with the market economy, changing values, and women's roles in society. Artistically and historically significant, they constitute ethical and spiritual questionings that deal with lives out of control, with characters making sense of the experience of living.
War and Peaceby Leo Tolstoy Louise Maude Aylmer Maude Ph.D. Ernest Hilbert
It was acclaimed author Leo Tolstoy's finest literary achievement. War and Peace, the story of five wealthy families of the Russian aristocracy during and after Napoleon's invasion of Russia, is also considered to be one of the finest novels of all time. This new Canterbury Classics edition opens with an introduction by a leading literary critic who sheds light on this complicated yet ultimately rewarding and fascinating work.Perfect for Tolstoy devotees as well as those new to this legendary work, this edition of War and Peace is sure to be a classic.

What a guy like Miguel Cabrera has given Detroit Tigers fans on the field is more than anyone could have imagined. But what he owes the world off the field is something no one can agree on.
He's managed to keep his inner circle small and tight and comfortable. His teammates don't see him as icy or elusive, they see him as jovial and constantly smiling. Every so often, someone from the outside asks to take a look, asks to know more. This time, it almost worked.
"Miguel's a complex man," said Sam Alipour, a writer who recently attempted to peek behind the curtain for a feature in ESPN The Magazine's April 1 MLB Preview. "He's absolutely fearless on the field. Off the field, his greatest fear, on Earth, is people. His words. He's scared of people; he doesn't trust them."
Alipour tried anyway, using a shared history so the two could relate, and ESPN access to spend an extended period of time with the sought after Triple Crown winner. Alipour's family had come to this country from Iran, and his experience with struggles associated with language and cultural barriers helped the two to better understand one another.
Alipour seemed genuinely interested in dispelling any myths that surrounded off the field events in Miguel's history. He describes one particular interview -- over lunch at the Islamorada Fish Company -- this way:
The guy I'd spent the day with was not the one in that police report. But those incidents, and how they re-emerge, help fuel his distrust of the world. Outside of hitting baseballs, these moments are the prism through which many people view him. Even last fall, during the Tigers' playoff run, much was made of Cabrera's wariness about attending Detroit's division title party even though nonalcoholic champagne was on the menu. And this spring, the Tigers brass has hailed Cabrera for dealing with the issue.
He looks surprised that I want to bring up the topic. I'm surprised he's surprised. I plow ahead anyway and ask him about the division title celebration: "My team want me in there. I tell them, 'Don't worry.' You don't want to give them reason to write something in papers."
The rapport the two had seemed to build was fleeting. The questions that most reporters - including Alipour - felt they had to ask, would forever be the ones that broke the trust.
Maybe I pushed too hard, too soon. Maybe Cabrera is just a big kid who takes his ball and goes home when a visitor doesn't play by his rules. Or maybe that's not it at all. I challenged a man who hates to be embarrassed and possesses a pathological distrust of strangers. Cabrera allowed me inside his bubble, and now he fears I'll twist his words, very few of which were about his past drinking, into a story about his drinking. "This is why I don't do interviews," he'd said during our conversation at lunch. "Everybody asks this forever. All you want to know." And maybe he's right to wonder what the value is in letting us in. Maybe he's better off being a guy who knocks the hell out of a baseball and hopes that if he says very little, then one day his gifts on the field will push what has happened off it down the list of Internet search results.
Alipour feels he lost Cabrera's trust. But it's likely someone will try again. The question is, what more do we really need to know?
"I'd earned his trust over the course of our journey together," Alipour said in a recent interview about the piece. "He opened up to me about his improbable rise from Venezuela to his recent season for the ages. At the tail end of our time together, our relationship ran completely off the rails in a matter of minutes. It happened because I asked him about his history with alcohol, and specifically two high profile arrests. And just like that, it was over. The story was off, and I was on the outside looking in.
"I guess that gets to the crux of his problem, if you want to call it a problem. First of all, Miguel doesn't have a ton of confidence in his English skills. So maybe that played a part. Teammates say he's very careful about what he says and how he says it because he just doesn't want to say the wrong thing. But more than that, he's a private dude. He's fiercely guarded. And that gets back to his distrust of people. You know I asked Miguel on a few occasions, 'What sparked his mistrust?'. He didn't want to name names, but he's a loyal guy and he expects loyalty in return."
If somehow we were to be given more access to the mind of Miguel, could we ourselves be trusted with the information? Or would our treatment of his inner thoughts just reaffirm what Alipour calls his "pathological distrust of strangers"?

Appartement bien situé dans quartier calme. Comptez 20 min de marche jusqu'au port. Bien desservi en bus. Appartement très grand avec beaucoup de clarté. Mobilier disign conforme à la photo. Parking dispo mais en plus. Bémol si je puis dire la salle de bain un peu étroite. Literie très confortable. Nous avons été bien accueilli très correct très propreté aussi.
When we arrived, we were a little skeptical. Walking up stairs, the host was waiting for us, she gave us good information about the apartment and some sighting tips. We felt welcome and of course we all like the apartment.
The fridge stocking is not good, but it was expected (from our experience), still we ordered it just in case we arrived late at night.
The apartment is 2 minutes a way from metro, still it's in a quieted alley. We feel pretty safe and that feeling is important for us since we have 3 children (10, 13 and 15 years).
Not just that the apartment is convenience close to the metro, it awesome next to apartment squares and alleys with small shops and restaurants (lots of them). Make your own breakfast? Sure, why not, it just 1 minute away from a great bakeries, 2 minutes away from stores with great Spanish jamón and fresh fruits.
The metro (Fontana station) close to the apartment, is the green line L3, the perfect metro line for sightseeing, 4 stops to La Rambla, If you shopping, 3 stops to Catalunya station where you can shop those exclusive brands or more casual brands at Diagonal (1 stop) or Passeig de Gracia (2 stops).
The beaches or the ports seems far if you use Google Map, but no worry, just 20 minutes with metro, you need make one change to L2 (or is it L1), and you'll have all the beaches you want.
Yes, we were skeptical when we arrived. That skeptical turns into love, it just so convenience and fit our family needs.
El apartamento es muy amplio y limpio, a un minuto caminando del metro. Lo volveríamos a utilizar definitivamente.

SONOMA, Calif. — Clint Bowyer raced to his first victory on a road course, and first with Michael Waltrip Racing, by holding off Kurt Busch at Sonoma.
Bowyer dominated Sunday's race by leading 70 of the 112 laps. Defending race winner Busch, in an unsponsored car, was all over the bumper of Bowyer's Toyota late and got a final shot at taking the win away when caution flew with four laps remaining.
Only Busch damaged his car with roughly eight laps to go, and he worried the entire caution period whether his Chevrolet was ruined and had no chance of catching Bowyer through the two-lap overtime sprint to the finish.
Bowyer raced side-by-side with Busch at the green flag, then cleared Busch and pulled away for the win.
"Kurt raced me clean, he bumped me and roughed me up, but never did anything to jeopardize either one of us," Bowyer said.
Bowyer, who left Richard Childress Racing at the end of last season to join MWR, had to walk to Victory Lane to celebrate with his new crew after his car ran out of gas.
"I'm super excited for everybody involved," Bowyer said. "To switch teams like I did was a huge risk and a chance for me, and it was a chance to showcase my talents."
It was a strong day all-around for MWR, which got a fourth-place finish from Brian Vickers, who was back to NASCAR after racing last weekend at Le Mans. Martin Truex Jr. led 15 laps, and was running in the top 10 until a late-race incident dropped him to 22nd.
"Everybody is just working together," Bowyer said. "That's something we are very proud of."
Tony Stewart passed Busch on the final lap to claim second, but said it was because Busch's car was struggling.
"Every time he would go in the corner, the rear end would shift, and it was running him to the outside of the track on entry and it was screwing his corner up," Stewart said. "Kind of got it by default there to a certain degree. Once we got by there, we just were not close enough in that last lap to get to Clint."
Busch finished third. He was emotional after — Busch missed Pocono earlier this month because he was suspended by NASCAR for verbally abusing a media member — and said he was thrilled to compete for the win in an underfunded, unsponsored Phoenix Racing car.
"It's an amazing day, when you can do what we did," Busch said. "I'm a little choked up because A: We were in position. B: I was very considerate to Bowyer, who was going for his first win with the new team. And then C: which is most important, I made a mistake, I got into those tires in turn 11."
Busch, who has struggled with his temper on and off the track, saw a silver lining in his strong finish.
"If I can get my head on straight here, and after the race, then I could be able to race every weekend and go for victories," Busch said.
Vickers was fourth for MWR, followed by Hendrick Motorsports teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon.
Greg Biffle was seventh, followed by pole-sitter Marcos Ambrose, AJ Allmendinger and Joey Logano.
Most thought the race would be a runaway win for either Ambrose or Gordon. It wasn't.
Ambrose led the first 11 laps before plummeting through the field, and said the setup on his car was off.
"We really missed it," he said. "We missed it bad, and we did good to recover and get a top-10 out of it. We will take it and move on. We got the pole and had a lot of speed; we just missed it for the race.''
