World Touring Car Championship's General Manager Marcello Lotti comments the past season and looks at the future evolutions of the series.
"We must consider 2012 as a positive year, although it was still under the influence of the global financial crisis. Compared to other motorsport series, WTCC benefited from a few positive happenings: the success of the first event in the USA that was boosted by the local promoter's enthusiasm, the participation of the Ford brand in the whole season and the arrival of Honda in the last races, the interest to join shown by new manufacturers like Citroën, and the FIA's active role in planning a technical evolution of the series.
It would be useless spending words to praise his skills, because when a driver wins a world championship it means he's a good one. As a promoter, I am delighted to see someone who began racing in a national single make trophy, growing up to the point to become world champion. It is something gratifying for the category."
2013: The Russian front and new teams
"The next season will be an interesting one. The main feature is the opening of a Russian front. Russia has a strategic importance, being one of the leading automotive markets; therefore it was on top of our commercial priority list.
Now they have a racetrack that is good enough to welcome WTCC, and on top of this Russia's most important car maker, the Avtovaz Group, rejoins the championship with the LADA Sport Team supported by Lukoil.
Something that is definitely going to shake the inner market. Looking at the field, I'm quite optimistic. The teams that competed in 2012 will stay, and one or two new ones are expected to join.
We will have a fair share of brands represented, including Chevrolet. As a matter of fact the possibility for Chevrolet to be represented in the championship is realistic, and this pleases us because it is an important brand and will help to keep the level of the championship high in terms of both, participation and competitiveness."
2014: A technical evolution was needed
"After eleven years under the same set of rules a face-lifting was needed, and we were pleased that the FIA President Jean Todt was sharing this view and has been the first one to embrace the cause.
The original idea was to change in 2015, but then we decided to advance the application to 2014, on the wave of the interest shown by new manufacturers and also because the brands currently represented are about to launch new model cars that may be homologated in 2014.
We are not talking of a new generation of cars, but of a technical evolution of the Super 2000 that were launched back in 2002. The basic points are an increase of power and noise, a reduction of weight, bigger wheels and a more aggressive look.
Then, in order to avoid a stream of requests for technical waivers, more freedom will be granted in the suspension homologation. Further implementations will be studied for a later application, such as the 'push to pass' and a common hybrid system.
The FIA and the manufacturers are working on the final draft of the that will be finalized by the end of January and submitted to the World Motor Sport Council in March.
It will be a natural evolution in the respect of the spirit of touring cars racing that must remain based on the identification of the racing car with the production car it comes from.
Someone will be happy, considering this as a simple updating of the championship, someone will disagree, claiming that an increase of costs will follow.
However, I believe that Super 2000 proved that the FIA is capable to maintain the stability of technical regulations for a long period. And their efforts, joined with ours, made also possible to keep the costs stable.
This evolution will continue to keep the running costs under control, however in the beginning investments on the new cars will be requested.
And I can grant that, like it happens every time a motor sport series is undergoing a technical evolution, we will study a way to assure a balanced cohabitation between the current and the new cars."
Half a billion viewers watched WTCC
WTCC's TV audience is growing fast. Since the inception of the World Championship in 2005, figures grew from 70 million viewers across 20 broadcasters to over half a billion viewers across 84 broadcasters in 2012.
The full 2012 broadcast figures will be announced by IFM, the Germany-based sports research firm, in its yearly report to be published by the mid of January.
"Among the 84 broadcasters, 49 were free-to-air channels, 31 were cable and satellite channels and four were news agencies.
There was a total of about 1,400 hours of WTCC programming in 2012, compared to 1,237 hours in 2011, while the cumulative audience increased by nearly 10 per cent," explained François Ribeiro, motor sport development director at Eurosport Events.
Speaking about the near future, Ribeiro said: "In 2013, our priority targets are Russia and USA. We are currently in negotiations with premier networks in both countries. On top of this we want to push for improving our coverage in Japan."
WTCC's TV strategies are directly connected to the importance of the automotive markets: "We really try to make sure that WTCC is aired, whether it is covered by Eurosport or not, in the main automotive markets.
And then of course we try to place our programmes in the emerging markets, which are key to the car manufacturers."

HAMBURG (dpa) – A collection of post-Impressionist masterpieces be-longing to the wealthy Swiss couple Arthur and Hedy Hahnloser-Bühler will go on display for the first time in Hamburg, the city's Kunsthalle museum has announced.
The Enchanted Time exhibition, which runs from late February to August 16, will feature works the couple collected between 1906 and 1936, including Vincent van Gogh's The Sower of 1888 and The Sun-flowers of 1887, The White and The Black of 1913 by Felix Vallotton, as well as works by Paul Cezanne, Au-guste Renoir and Edouard Manet. The collectors knew many of the artists personally.
"Thanks to the intense exchanges with the artists, they gained a deep understanding for their artistic ob-jectives and became passionate and extremely competent collectors of their works," curator Daniel Koep said on Thursday in Hamburg.

Willem van Vliet
- Funeral Date: 9/29/12
- Funeral Time: 1:00 PM
- Date of Birth: 7/09/79
- Date of Death: 9/23/12
- Funeral Location: Memorial Park - Dundas
Willem Frederik van Vliet was born July 9, 1979, in Menomonie, Wisconsin. He was raised in Northfield and graduated Northfield High School in 1997. He attended Augsburg College and shortly after began pursuing his career as a landscape architect. Over the years he worked for several landscaping companies in the Northfield area. He excelled at his craft and was highly regarded amongst his peers.
Will was a compassionate, unpretentious thinker. He loved to read and learn and mastered anything he set out to do. He enjoyed fishing, being outdoors and his family.
Will's reward in life was to bring happiness to those he loved, and forgiveness to those who have gone astray. Such beautiful compassion was evident early, as the local wildlife found solace in Will's refuge, even though the sandbox was not the ideal location to salvage the wounds of the natural world. Only after knowing the things he loved were taken care of, could he then rest assured. Will's heart shall be forever a shining example of unconditional love.
Survivors include his parents, Connie Nelson-Beaudrea and Tom Nelson of Northfield and Rick and Cindy van Vliet of Prior Lake; his sister, Nina (Chad) deBoer of Portland; 2 brothers: Adam Nelson of Portland, Nicolaas Nelson of Minneapolis; his grandmothers: Betty Strohbeen of Little Canada, Grace van Vliet of Inver Grove Heights; and many other relatives and good friends. He was named after his Dutch Opa, Willem F. Van Vliet who is waiting for Will with pole in hand. His step-grandparents Gordon and Vivian Nelson also await him with arms wide open.
Will died in Dundas, Minnesota, on Sunday evening, September 23, 2012, at the age of 33.
A remembrance gathering for Will will be held at Memorial Park in Dundas beginning at 1:00PM on Saturday, September 29, 2012.
In lieu of flowers memorials are preferred to Willie's Memorial Fund at Premier Bank Minnesota – Northfield office, 112 E. 5th St, Nfld, MN 55057.
Arrangements are with the Benson & Langehough Funeral Home. www.northfieldfuneral.com

This application is based on, and claims priority to, U.S. Provisional Patent Applications, Nos. 60/159,476 and 60/167,493, respectively filed Oct. 14, 1999 and Nov. 24, 1999. Provisional Application No. 60/159,476 has been converted into U.S. application Ser. No. 09/515,354, filed Feb. 29, 2000.
The present invention relates generally to e-commerce and, more specifically, to use of linked web servers sites for on-line shopping.
The consumer in today's market is limited to a particular retailer's or department store's inventory, selection and styles. Traditionally, a consumer shops for items from different stores with the anticipation and hope that the items will coordinate. Alternatively, a consumer will wait for an opportunity to try on all the different items purchased and return those items that do not coordinate. Recent technological advances have attempted to enhance the shopping ability through the use of c-commerce, sometimes referred to as "online buying" or "online shopping."
There are differences inherent between "online buying" and "online shopping" in that current e-commerce transactions are based on the individual buying goods or services online that they have either decided to buy prior to logging on to the internet or find as a result of bargain hunting on the internet. There is very little, if any, true shopping on the internet. Most women define shopping as an "experience" "fun" "exciting" and the like, True shopping is going to a mall or department store with the intention of buying yet to be deterniined goods or services. Few consumers are getting on the internet with the same mindset that they have before they physically go shopping. It is the difference between logging onto the internet to buy an additional pair of Levi's Jeans and going shopping and then coming home with 2 pairs of Levi's Jeans, a belt, 2 sweaters and 2 shirts.
Amazon, for instance, tries to recreate the "shopping experience" by offering reviews by other customers and suggestions for other books which may interest the shopper based on the book the consumer is currently purchasing.
One aspect of the present invention is generally directed to a method for on-line viewing of an article previously stored in a virtual closet (e.g., an apparel closet) on another structure. An example implementation of this aspect of the present invention includes: providing a host-site accessible to an on-line viewer and web-linkable to at least one article-provider site, the article provider-site having images of articles for view via the web. The on-line viewer is linked to the host-site and to a virtual closet maintained by the host-site. The host-site selects a structure in response to a command received by the on-line viewer, and using the host-site, the viewer is linked to the at least one article-provider site and images (including those in the virtual closet) are passed from that site for view by the on-line viewer, and merging a selected one of the articles with the structure by forming an image including representations of both the structure and the selected article.
Another aspect of the present invention is directed to addressing one of the most crucial features missing when one attempts to shop for clothing and accessories online; this feature is the ability to try the different items on oneself. In addition to the portal concept, this aspect of the present invention more clearly identifies to the consumer the problem, by personalizing and enhancing the "shopping experience" by allowing the consumer to have their own "internet mirror" or "internet fitting room." A personalized, secure environment is created which permits the consumer to truly "shop" at their leisure and convenience. An optional feature allows each user a certain amount of storage capacity, referred to as a "closet," where the user can store different items from multiple stores as they move from store to store, each time bringing back different items to mix and match, coordinate and so on. This storage space allows the consumer to put items "on hold" for a limited period of time without purchasing them. This feature allows consumers to return at a later date and purchase these items and continue shopping for other items without starting the whole process over again.
The above-mentioned main feature is a "body-registry" which enables individuals in purchasing clothing and accessories online to have an enhanced shopping experience by having a "closet" with both their previous and potential purchases to mix and match and create new outfits. For instance, a woman could go to this virtual "closet" and pull out her favorite article (e.g., shirt) and go shopping for a new skirt, shoes, earrings and purse to create a "new outfit."
Another embodiment has fashion advice with latest fashions and styles and links to the retailers that carry those fashions. Retailers could be invited to write-up the commentary or nationally-known magazines may want to offer their fashion advice online.
In another specific embodiment a question and answer section answers common questions such as "What goes with . . . ?" and others. The fashion advice section as it grows includes a search section that would allow the consumer to find past articles relating to their particular interest.
In yet another specific embodiment, a review section, set up by topics, enables a consumer to relate his or her retail experiences, both good and bad, talk fashion and style, give advice, or to talk about items of interest.
The above-identified feature allow a consumer to walk through an entire mall (or different malls) of stores picking and choosing selected item(s) to build the ultimate outfit or wardrobe. A consumer may pause, store, put-on-hold, and shop twenty-four hours per day at his or her convenience.
A more particular example embodiment of the present invention is directed to a method of on-line apparel shopping. The method includes providing a host-site accessible to an on-line viewer (e.g., customer) and web-linkable to an entity, such as a retailer, having an apparel site. The retailer's apparel site has images of articles such as apparel for viewing over the web, and the on-line viewer is linked to the host-site. The consumer selects a structure, such as a photograph of a person captured in system memory, in response to a command received by the on-line viewer. Using the host-site, the viewer or customer is linked to the retailer's apparel site and images are passed from that site for view by the customer. Apparel is selected and virtually merged with the structure by forming an image including representations of both the structure and the selected apparel.
The above summary of the present invention is not intended to describe each illustrated embodiment or every implementation of the present invention. The figures in the detailed description that follow more particularly exemplify these embodiments.
The invention may be more completely understood in consideration of the following detailed description of various embodiments of the invention in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which:
While the invention is amenable to various modifications and alternative forms, specifics thereof have been shown by way of example in the drawings and will be described in detail. It should be understood, however, that the intention is not to limit the invention to the particular embodiments described. On the contrary, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
The present invention is generally directed to a method and system involving e-commerce over interconnected communication networks such as those currently known as the Internet. The present invention is particularly suited for conveniently bringing virtual apparel into customers respective homes and permitting customers to try on the apparel before accepting/purchasing the apparel. While the present invention is not necessarily so limited, a better understanding of the invention will be found by reading the detailed description and exemplary embodiments that follow.
The on-line shopper uses a PC or intelligent black box 112 to access the host application server 101. Through this access, the on-line shopper either selects a generic structure from an inquiry of such structures provided by block 107 or provides a personalized image (for example, a scanned image of himself or of his house) to be used as the structure. Using the host application server 101, the on-line shopper is coupled through the web to a seller, depicted at block 114. Images of selectable articles are communicated back to the on-line shopper over the web and through the host application server 10. The on-line shopper selects one or more articles from at least one of the sellers for storage in the closet 105, and/or for merging with the previously-selected structure. Similarly, the structure can be changed per a command from the on-line shopper so as to merge the selected article(s) with different structures. In response, the host application server 101 processes images corresponding to the article and structure and generates a new image including representations of both the structure and the article.
At block 210 the on-line shopper instructs the host application server to store the article in the closet by returning to block 204, merge with the structure as depicted at block 212, or return to block 206 for linking to the same seller or another seller for additional viewing.
From block 212 flow proceeds to block 214 where the new image is created per the merger instruction.
Next, at block 216, the new image is sent for viewing to the on-line shopper.
At block 218 the on-line shopper chooses one of multiple options. Either the closet is accessed and the on-line shopper returns to block 204, or an election is made to purchase the article and/or other articles that may have been stored in the closet as depicted in block 220. From block 220, flow proceeds to block 222 where the on-line shopper decides to return to block 204 or end the transaction.
Example articles can be: A) clothing; B) paint; C) furniture; D) glassware; E) landscaping; F) orthodontic and teeth ware; G) cabinetry; H) plastic-surgery type enhancements; I) car/person.
Example foundation for merger with corresponding article(s) can be: a) person, pet; b) house, cars, etc.; c) house, cars, office, etc.; d) kitchen, face; e) yard; f) mouth; g) rooms in office/house; h) person (chest, face, belly, etc.); I) person/car.
In another example embodiment according to the present invention, an important advantage relating to color matching is achieved using a commonly-used color standard that covers sufficient color variations to permit various articles to be matched to one another. In one more specific embodiment, an industry color-standardization scheme is used. Examples include: Exxel Color Match Guide (see http://sharones.com/prod013234.htm) and Color match Chart (http://www.csprings.com/aero lettering/c match.htm). More sophisticated color standardization schemes include the above examples in combination with equipment specifically identifying a frequency range corresponding to the color of the article in question or the equipment approach by itself.
Example equipment of this type includes optics-based detectors adapted to provide a measured (color) frequency in a given light condition/environment. For example, white light may be used along with selected background materials characterized within certain selected ranges of reflectivity. Other definitional parameters needed and/or useful in connection therewith will be apparent to those skilled in the art.
In a particular application, the color frequencies measured for the articles to be matched are reported and provided in the form of a tag that is carried with the article, electronically for the web server shopping function and, optionally, as a supplemental hard-copy coded label (e.g., as part of or as a supplementation to the coding used on a bar code label). In a more particular implementation involving this use as part of the bar code label, the conventional bar code scanners and bar code generators are modified and adapted to receive the color frequency of the article and to conveniently report the color frequency in conjunction with the electronic shopping function and/or the conventional/reality shopping applications.
In yet another more specific embodiment, the closet of selected articles (as described for example in connection with block 105 of
The virtual closet discussed above in connection with
According to another aspect of the present invention, on-line shoppers (for example 112 of
For convenience to the shoppers, a feedback icon can be used to provide a "favorite retailers" list to be defined by each shopper. When the shopper logs on to the host application, any of these favorite retailers can be immediately linked to for various uses. Examples include: reviewing closeted items and making changes thereto for a particular retailer, checking sales at that particular retailer and/or continuing to shop at a particular retailer without being required to return to the host application web site. Further, as a shopper links from retailer to retailer (the "Favorites"), a "shopping basket" can be selected and filled as the shopper accesses the articles
According to another important aspect of the present invention, the host application includes a search engine that searches selected, or all, participating sellers/retailers for particular merchandise, as identified by the on-line shopper. In one implementation, this service is provided to the shopper using a selectable icon or other feedback data as discussed above. At this point, the host application can: list all such retailers and allow the shopper to link to their web site; virtually pull the item from the respective web sites and allow the shopper to "try on" the article or store it in the closet (with a variation which optionally permits the shopper to change the size and color); and/or a combination of these approaches.
Implementation of the merging function can be accomplished using one or more of a variety of currently-available methods. Examples of such methods include those used in connection with web sites:
As noted above, the present invention is applicable to a number of techniques for merging various types of structures, or foundations, with one or more corresponding articles. The present invention should not be considered limited to the particular examples described above, but rather should be understood to cover all aspects of the invention as fairly set out in the attached claims. For example, the present invention could be characterized as covering one or more of the above characterized features. Accordingly, various modifications, equivalent processes, as well as numerous structures to which the present invention may be applicable will be readily apparent to the skilled artisan upon review of the present specification.

The 45th Rolex 24 At Daytona -- History's Best?
Can you believe it? The Rolex 24 At Daytona is nearly here.
It took a call from Kevin Doran wanting to play a little pre-race golf this week - and subsequent repeated assertions on his part - for me to really realize the 24 was at hand.
(BTW: For those out there in AutoWeek land, Doran really is - no 'speculation,' here - building a few "Ford GT40" race cars for ALMS racing purposes.)
And, just last week, I was certain Bill Riley had taken a skewed look at his calendar, and let it pass without comment, when he said "see you next week."
Can you tell I regularly look at calendars? My computer and PDA's Outlook are Godsends. They remind me of upcoming appointments and all I do is show up. I don't care what day it may be. Cavemen didn't have a clue as to the day and the species still got here without time pieces, didn't it?
It's a tough deal nowadays to figure the odds on who's gonna do what in this race. Sure, this motorhead might have some insight others don't but who, if given just half a chance, wouldn't spend almost endless hours in the race pits or garages or at tests throughout North America?
If so, you'd likely come to an understanding of the sport similar to my own. I'm just lucky enough to be able to live a dream I've had since kid who literally stood on Sebring's runways when sportscar racing was still a relatively new import from Yurrup.
The sportscar scene has since undertaken a considerable evolution after more than a few United States Army Air Force plane jockeys returned from WWII Yurrup action with cool two-seater cars and, no longer having the ability to compete against comrades in the skies, found it on the ground in the U.S.
Like us (I'm just, um, slightly grayer in hair and less in tooth than when standing on that Sebring runway) the sportscar scene still changes and will continue to change - it'll have ups; it'll have downs.
Remember in 2004 when the DP car class was looking at its second Rolex 24?
Starting that race were 17 DPs. At its end, Terry Borcheller, Forest Barber, Christian Fittipaldi and Andy Pilgrim would bring home an ailing No. 54 Jim Bell-prepared Kodak "Chevrolet" Doran to take overall honors.
(Bell, absent of a breaking - as in, "just happening" Pontiac deal - kept the Chevy decals on the car and, as importantly, on the engine.)
To this day, I remember the feeling that washed over me when, days earlier during that race's first practice day, I stood in the early-morning garage and knew the playing field was no longer solely "mine."
A lot of new faces - or old ones not seen in awhile - were in the pits, the garages and the DIS media center.
Though I had strongly felt the day would come, I didn't like it worth a darn when it arrived. At least at first.
Honestly, on one hand I felt happy - vindicated might be the better word - that I'd made the correct move to cover the 2003 series in its entirety. But a pang of anger (jealousy?) hit, knowing that I no longer would be the sole journalist solely following the full Rolex Series.
Man, long to be treasured are the hours I spent during that 2003 season talking mano-a-mano with some of the sports' best. And, though relatively few in number at the time, it was quality time. I'll take quality over quantity any ol' time.
Yet, the wailing and gnashing of teeth over the 2003 Rolex 24 was still distinctly ringing in my ears (and other "believers") at the dawn of that 2004 season.
Surely you remember the avalanche of criticisms, among which was: "Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha! This'll never work!"
About 25-minutes before the 2004 race's checkered flag I had booked-it from the No. 54's end-of-pit road tent - we're talking last stall all the way down toward Turn 1 - striking out on the relatively long walk to the Crawford pits when about halfway there word struck that Crawford's Tony Stewart had hit the wall in the "Moretti Chicane."
(No, Daytona International doesn't call it "Moretti." Nearly everyone in the racing universe calls it the entirely UNoriginal "bus stop," without knowing why it should or shouldn't be named such. When was the last time anyone saw a doggone bus stop there, anyway? In the final analysis, Gianpiero Moretti was a trigger man behind that chicane being placed there. But that's a story for another time.)
At the time I had no clue as to the severity of Stewart's hit. All I did was put some really tired bones in high gear and sprint the rest of the way to the No. 5's pit.
Then, learning Stewart was okay - if one didn't count disappointment - it was a sprint back to the Kodak pits, where the people therein had taken on renewed vitality. Hell, I woulda been happy to get a strong cup of java.
To the extent Max, Jan and Katie Crawford were saddened, the Kodak crew and, even, car constructor Kevin Doran, were oppositely elated.
To know one's about to take the lead toward the end of a 24-hour struggle - and a 24-hour race is just that - provides a very welcome shot of adrenaline for those in the associated pit box.
For the first time in the race, Barber - in his clean, shiny all-but-new uniform - would don his helmet to bring the 54-car home.
To say the least, Barber was reluctant to assume the seat and it was only after Bell and Borcheller urged him on that he would actually commit to doing it.
Still, he was filled with concern.
The 54's engine was hardly at full song and Barber feared that he lacked the talent - and it does take talent to nurse, whether human or mechanical - to bring the ailing car home.
Barber's "what if's" were countered with "Get in the car" and he was gone.
Left behind in his pit was great concern over the engine. It'd lost compression and no one really knew if it'd last even those last few minutes.
And that's part of the problem with predicting a 24-hour race.
First, there are so many things that can go wrong, from Stewart's suspension collapse to Barber's engine to, in 2006, Wayne Taylor's SunTrust car being in the wrong place at the wrong time when an out-of-control racer appeared from almost nowhere and ended the defending 2005 Rolex 24 champions' day.
Second, the DP's reliability continues to grow.
In 2003, Scott Maxwell, David Empringham and David Brabham's No. 88 Multimatic Ford Focus finished first in class, but fourth overall (likely first overall, if not for an improper throttle spring the drivers had insisted upon for "drivability" purposes).
Brumos Racing's No. 59 Porsche-Fabcar driven by Hurley Haywood, J.C. "Mexico Mangler" France, Scott Goodyear and Scott Sharp would follow in fifth-place overall, second in class, 18-laps down to the No. 88.
The next DP? G&W Motorsports' (now 'Synergy') 24th-place No. 8 BMW-Picchio driven by Boris Said, Darren Law, Dieter Quester and Luca Riccitelli.
Driving their GT-class No. 66 Porsche 996 GT3RS to the 2003 victory, winners Kevin Buckler, Michael Schrom, Timo Bernhard and Jorg Bergmeister compiled more than 10-times the number of laps run by the first DP to go out in the race - the same "Chevrolet" Doran that would win in 2004.
In 2004, the next-closest DP to the No. 54 Kodak Chevrolet-Doran was the fourth-place No. 27 Lista Lexus-Doran, five-laps down, of Didier Theys, Fredy Lienhard, Jan Lammers and Marc Goossens.
Six of that year's top-10 finishers were DPs -- a three-fold increase over the year before (as many in number as in all of that 2003 field, too).
In 2005, the race's first nine finishers were DPs with a total of 35-laps separating first through ninth.
Though the SunTrust Pontiac-Riley (Wayne Taylor, Max Angelelli, Emanuel Collard), with 710 laps would win by 11 laps over the next-closest DP, overall finishers two-through-five were separated by two laps! After 24 hours! Two doggone laps!
Second-place (Boss-Howard's Pontiac-Crawford with Butch Leitzinger, EFR, Jimmie Johnson) and third (Citgo's Pontiac-Crawford with Andy Wallace, Jan Lammers, Tony Stewart) were each on their 699th lap.
Fourth-place (CGRWFS Lexus-Riley with Stefan Johansen, Cort Wagner and Jamie Mac Murray) was on Lap-698 and fifth place, (Doran Racing's Lexus-Doran with Fabrizio Gollin, Mateo Bobbi and Didier Theys) was on lap 697!
But 2006 gets better, if nothing else but for the fact that CGRWFS/Target's Scott Dixon, Casey Mears and Dan Wheldon would lay down 734 laps in their winning Lexus-Riley - the Rolex 24 At Daytona's fourth-highest-ever laps total! We're talking going back as far as Dan Gurney and his 1961 victory in a Lotus-Climax 19B!
"Ozz" Negri, Mark Patterson, A.J. Allmendinger and Justin Wilson were one-lap down with 733-laps in Mike Shank's No. 60 Flight Options (now, Fresh From Florida) Lexus-Riley.
In third place, Alex Job's Shred-It/XM Satellite (now, Ruby Tuesday) No. 23 Porsche-Crawford, driven by Luca Luhr, Mike Rockenfeller and Patrick Long, racked up 731-laps.
Fourth-place's David Donohue, Darren Law and Sascha Maassen in their Brumos Racing No. 58 Red Bull Porsche-Fabcar compiled 730 laps.
Each of the above 2006 finishers beat the next-best, fifth-best-ever Daytona 24 lap total (728) compiled by 1988 race winners Martin Brundle, Raul Boesel, John Nielsen and Jan Lammers in Tom Walkinshaw's No. 60 Jaguar XJR-9!
Really, now, is it unreasonable to expect a DP to soon eclipse the all-time lap record, 762, compiled in 1992 by a Nissan R91CP (Masahiro Hasemi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino, Toshio Suzuki)?
The 2006 Rolex 24's fifth- and sixth-place finishers each placed in the race's top-nine, highest-ever historical lap totals.
And, for the record - 'cause someone out there is going, "Buh, buh, but ..." - Pedro Rodriguez, Leo Kinnunen and Brian Redman posted 724 laps driving their No. 2 Porsche 917K in 1970.
I can hear others; "What about the WSC era!? What about the WSC era!?"
To the point: 2002, Doran-Lista Judd-powered Dallara, 716 laps, won Rolex 24.
I'm going to predict at least one thing for this weekend's race: It'll be good. Darn good.
Now, wasn't it worth hanging around after first reading my ramblings?
On Wednesday, you get to see who I think will take the 45th Rolex 24 At Daytona.

The group said the letter - purportedly from employees - was addressed to the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Kmart's auditors and board of directors.
Kmart's audit committee has called in outside counsel and accounting consultants to conduct the probe. It has also contacted the SEC. PriceWaterhouseCoopers is listed as the group's accountant in its latest annual report.
A casualty of the slump in the US economy and vicious competition in the retail sector, Kmart suffered a fall almost as dramatic as that of energy trading giant Enron. After a Wall Street analyst said on 2 January that Kmart could be forced into bankruptcy, the company's stock fell almost 70% in just over two weeks. Enron's collapse is being investigated by Congress, the FBI and the SEC.

A thief, a crook. An untrustworthy person, particularly one who steals outright or over-charges for merchandise.
(Hebrew & Yiddish: ganev, meaning thief)
(Hebrew & Yiddish: ganev, meaning thief)
by bluegrassfan February 01, 2005
A Hebrew/Yiddish word, often used (and spelled various ways) in English; particularly used in southern California. There is no exact English equivalent word; `operator' is maybe the closest. A gonif operates on the shadowy borders of illegality and/or impropriety, and gets away with it, and is not quite an outright crook. The word seems to combine proper moral disapproval with sneaking admiration. Reference: 'The Joys of Yiddish,' by Leo Rosten.
Seymour was an accomplished and clever gonif. He could con birds out of trees, and could figure out how to game any bureaucratic system within a few minutes.

text: Bill Parcells' biggest mistake last night was not letting the team stay on the filed at halftime to witness the induction of the Triplets into the Ring of Honor and to also witness the crowd's response to the legacy this team has as a results of these players' inspired play. After all, we were hearing all week about whispers that some young players were not even aware of the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry. So then why not give them a Cowboys history lesson at halftime ot teach them that history by allowing them to witness it first hand. That's an opportunity they may never have again and not allowing these young players to see that is a mistake, based on how I see it. AF

With Ohio's crazy car carry laws, pocket holsters are pretty useless (IMO). Hopefully that will get resolve soon.
My Kahr CW-9 is my favorite carry pistol. However, I carry my KEL-TEC P3-AT a lot. Depends upon the clothes I am wearing. I have both pistols loaded with Corbon DPX ammo.

1911's, no if's, and's or but's about it!
I think that unarmed should be ''unarmed'' Or perhaps ''part armed''!an "always gun", you know, the one carry when you are unarmed!!
My 226 ST is so much EDC that little else is ever needed but the NAA mini is always somewhere on my person and so that would I guess fit the bill here, or my R9.
I expect I can count on one hand the number of times in a year I am truly unarmed - and still have change

I have pounded on it and tried to make it stop and have yet to succeed (or fail depending upon how you look at it).
I looked at KelTec's and similar, and was nearly set on one until this one fell in my lap one day. Possibly will get a KT one of these days, but this fit the bill right now.
For days when I need maximum concealment my p32 is with me. Probably about 75% of the time I have either my bersa .380 or my taurus pt111 9mm. On days where Im wearing baggier or thicker clothes I'll carry my sig p229 .40
Kel Tec P3AT is my always gun. Great little bug loaded with CorBon. Not a target piece, but better than harsh words. Also carry a Kershaw assisted opening.

Making a Plan
Anderson was the only one who knew what Amenra had done, and he was the only one who could see that he came to justice.
Anderson worked day and night on his plan. He knew he had to somehow get Amenra to admit to his crime while someone was listening, but how was the question. He thought about recording Amenra's bedroom in case he said something (he would notice), watching security footage of the night the crime took place (Amenra should have wiped it clean), and even just going to his father and telling him what happened (but would he believe him?). Then finally, Anderson remembered the secret passages.

El apartamento está muy bien equipado.Está retirado del centro pero bien comunicado ya que está a escasos metros de la Castellana, con buenas vistas a la torre CEPSA.
La atención al llegar muy buena.
Empezó MUY MAL. Al llegar a la dirección del apartamento, no nos recibió nadie. Llamé al teléfono de contacto que me habían facilitado. y me respondió una cinta que me pedía "espere un momento y le atenderemos". Estuve 45 minutos esperando y nadie me atendió.
Finalmente la persona que debía recibirnos llegó, por casualidad, puesto que nadie le había informado de nuestra llegada; tampoco le habían enviado el contrato. Pero su trato fue exquisito se disculpó por la falta de coordinación y la estancia resultó perfecta.
Me encantó porque es tal como se describe en la publicación, además estaba muy limpio y equipado con todo lo necesario en cuanto a toallas, sábanas, almohadas, utensilios de cocina, secador, plancha, etc. Definitivamente volveríamos, gracias Stiven por la amable atención.
Apartamento muy recomendable, muy bien equipado, luminoso y limpio.
Tanto la reserva, como dudas y entrega de llaves sin ningún problema.
Ideal para grupos de gente jóven. Camas muy cómodas y dos baños amplios. Hemos quedado encantados.

The appartment was nice and cosy, looked like on the pictures and was easy to reach by public transport. The kitchen is well equipped so that cooking there (even for quite a big group of people) during or stay worked quite well.
For big groups with little budget this is definitely a great place to stay in Madrid!
Very nice appartment. Nice location, not too far from the centre, good airconditioning and nice neighbours. Kitchen wasn't very good though. Small pans and furnace. Overall very good for the price.
The apartment was perfect. Clean and tidy. Friendly, efficient service from Manual and Micaela. Recommended.
They late a little bit and they didin't apologize but he gave us very good expanations about apartment. Entrance in building isn't good but apartment is very good. The main problem is smell from other apartments that come into our. There are very good beds. Apartment was clean and has everything what you need for a stay. It is very good located- 10 minutes walk to Plaza Mayor.
A very nice apartment in a really beautifool, central and characteristic area of the city. The host was reliable in the instructions provided me. Just the condizionaore could work better.

Edward Scissorhands, directed by long-term pal Tim Burton.
Johnny, 48 — who starred in the 1990 hit — tops the bill in the director's
latest horror movie Dark Shadows.
Depp plays vampire Barnabas Collins in the film, following his run-ins with
monsters, witches, warewolves and ghosts.
The film, which is based on a cult 1960s US TV series, also stars Brit Jonny
Lee Miller and Michelle Pfeiffer.
At this year's Golden Globes, host Ricky Gervais introduced Johnny – who also
starred in Burton's sitcom Life's Too Short – as "the man who will
literally wear anything Tim Burton tells him to".

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (AP) A jury of U.S. military officers began deliberating a verdict Monday for Osama bin Laden's driver in the first American war crimes trial since World War II.
The panel of six jurors was reviewing evidence from a two-week trial at the Guantanamo Bay Navy base that has become the first full test of the Bush administration's system for prosecuting alleged terrorists.
Salim Hamdan, a Yemeni held here since May 2002, faces a maximum life sentence if convicted of conspiracy and supporting terrorism.
In closing arguments, prosecutors said Hamdan's service to the al-Qaeda chief over five years in Afghanistan helped him execute terrorist plots including the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington.
"He is an al-Qaeda warrior," said Justice Department prosecutor John Murphy, pointing to the detainee sitting at the defense table in a white robe and tan sports coat.
Defense lawyers counter that Hamdan was merely a member of bin Laden's motor pool. His Pentagon-appointed attorney, Navy Lt. Cmdr. Brian Mizer, said in closing arguments that his client never joined al-Qaeda and had no part in planning attacks.
"If every garage mechanic and driver knew the details and was involved in the planning of the attack, it never would have happened," Mizer said.
The judge, Navy Capt. Keith Allred, told jurors that four of them — a two-thirds majority — must find Hamdan guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt" to convict him.
Even if they find him innocent, Hamdan may not be released. The military retains the right to hold "enemy combatants" considered a threat to the United States — even those cleared of charges by the tribunals.
Most of the evidence against Hamdan came from U.S. federal and military agents who interrogated him in Afghanistan and Guantanamo, including one who said that Hamdan swore an oath of allegiance to the terrorist leader and expressed "uncontrollable enthusiasm" for his cause.
Allred urged jurors to evaluate that evidence in light of a U.S. policy that prevented interrogators from advising Hamdan of a right against giving incriminating statements.
"You must decide the weight and significance, if any, such statements deserve," Allred told the jurors, who were hand-picked by the Pentagon and flown to the base in southern Cuba for the case.
Hamdan was captured at a roadblock in southern Afghanistan in November 2001 with two surface-to-air missiles in the car. Prosecutors accused Hamdan of transporting weapons for al-Qaeda and evacuating bin Laden to safety after learning he was about to launch terrorist "operations," including the Sept. 11 attacks.
The military has charged 21 of the roughly 265 men held at this U.S. Navy base in southeast Cuba on suspicion of terrorism or links to al-Qaeda or the Taliban. Military prosecutors say they plan trials for about 80 inmates.
So far, only one Guantanamo inmate has been convicted. Australian David Hicks reached a plea agreement that sent him home to serve a nine-month prison sentence.

The Ravens have been known for their defense and special teams being so good over the course of their history that their offense didn't need to be better than mediocre.
Yet, all of a sudden, one taken-for-granted part of special teams hasn't been so special.
Baltimore has had two punts blocked this season, one in the opener at Denver and one on Sunday against the Packers, although the latter was fumbled and recovered by the Ravens.
On top of that, Green Bay nearly blocked a second punt Sunday - and would have if not for James Ihedigbo holding up an oncoming rusher.
Still, punt protection is becoming an issue for a team that never had to worry about it in the past. Special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg addressed that Thursday, specifically weighing in on what broke down for the unit on Sunday.
"On the blocked punt, there was a miscommunication at the line of scrimmage and then it was followed up by another miscommunication, and then the failsafe mechanism failed," Rosburg said. "So it was kind of a chain of events that led to a guy running cleanly on punt protection. It was real obvious that something was wrong on that play from the very get-go.
"We've addressed it obviously. It's something that just cannot happen. It's too vital of a play in football for us to allow it to happen, and we'll continue to address it. The reason we release practice every camp practice with punt and every OTA practice with punt and every mini-camp practice with punt is because it's so important."
Maybe of greater concern is that the two blocked punts haven't been for the same reason. The latest was a series of miscommunications on a basic punt scheme by Green Bay. The first, Rosburg said, was a Ravens player simply being burned around the edge.
Whatever the causes, Rosburg knows that Baltimore needs to fix it now to avoid another issue for a team already working through enough of them.

I feel . . .
This chapter is one of the storys that made the first chapter.
I am alone in this world. I feel that I don't belong, like I am a stranger. I feel I am losing everybody. My family, my friends. I feel no one wants mearound and everyone hates me. Even though I don't show it on the outside ( beware the next bit is OTT) I feel like I am crying, crying for help, on the inside. Nobody waits for me to follow, they just leave me.
No one sits next to me. My brothers and my sister hate me. When I call them names its because I'm hurting and need to express it in some shape or form.
I love my family and will never forget them. All of the things they have don for me, but I feel that they have grown tired of me, bored even. I just want to leave this lonliness, sadness and hurt, and never come back. But I cant it will hurt them.
I live in my fanatasy land because I don't want to be in reality, face the hurt that people inflict by their words, their actions. Even if they don't mean to.
If you have read this, please do not think I am saying goodbye. I will not leave you behind. I will love you forever.
