All group rooms occupied - only two with 2 or more people. Our small group couldn't find a room.
Tell Us: Library Customer Suggestions
Thank you for your comment.
I think the library will update the signage on these rooms to make the options, everyone's rights, and our policy more clear. Our policy is that group study rooms are first-come, first-serve and can be used by individuals as well as groups. However, groups take priority. The signage on the group study rooms imply this and state, "groups have priority usage over this room." What that means in practice is that groups can bump individuals in group study rooms anytime.
In cases where an individual is using a group study room, groups have the right to knock on the door and politely ask the individual to vacate the room and give it up for the group. In cases where your group is uncomfortable with doing this or the individual refuses to give up the room upon being asked, you can always come to the first floor service desk for assistance. Library staff will request and direct the individual to give up the room for the group.
We should all strive (library patrons, students and library staff) to be courteous, polite and understanding with each other when conflict over space emerges. Groups have priority usage of the group study rooms, and there are plenty of open tables and quiet areas for individuals to do their work and study.
Please be aware that group study room 1305 on the first floor is available for reservations in advance and this may help some groups plan and insure you can have a group room. Make your reservation at http://hslibrary.ucdenver.libcal.com/booking/groupstudy.
Please contact me about this anytime, email@example.com, 303-724-2139. Thank you and we appreciate your input.

First floor of the library seemed to be more of a convention center than a library. A student course was assembling in front of the teaching labs, demonstrating reckless, inconsiderate, noisy behavior. I understand that the 2nd floor is the quiet floor, but I also believe that certain rules of behavior should apply throughout the library. Please let me know what you are going to do about this....
Thank you for your comment. I'm sorry that you were disturbed by noise in the library. We agree that certain rules of behavior apply throughout the library. The library's Conduct Policy spells out such expectations and indicates everyone using the library should be sensitive to ensuring an atmosphere conducive to study. If library staff at our service desk are made aware of noise, we are glad to step in and ask others to lower their voices. In addition, library users are encouraged to self-police and in future situations you have every right to politely ask others to keep their voices down.
The library serves many purposes for the University in addition to quiet study. The facility is a signature building on campus and is included on campus tours. The three computer teaching labs are used by many on campus for hands-on instruction. There are large meetings rooms within the building that are heavily scheduled. Many meetings and group study sessions take place within the building. Since most of the meeting spaces are on the 1st and 3rd floors, the 2nd floor has been converted to a quiet floor. Additionally, computers were added to a room on the 2nd floor for CU Anschutz users if they require a computer in a quieter location.
I'm glad to discuss this topic at your convenience. I work 8am to 5pm during weekdays. You can ask for me at the service desk or contact me (firstname.lastname@example.com) to schedule a time to chat.
Can we reopen the third floor conference room for student use when it's not actually being used by the consulting company? We have been dealing with a shortage of study rooms during peak study hours as it is.
Also, when students need the room most tends to be after business hours when other organizations would be least likely to need it.
Thank you for the suggestion. Library Administration will be happy to pursue this idea with McKinsey. We will seek maximum flexibility.
Thank you for your interest in the Library! Please feel free to contact me with any additional questions or concerns - 303-724-2133, by e-mail at email@example.com or stop by for a visit in Library Administration. My office is on the 3rd floor, west side of the building.

Recently I was informed that room 3203 will be used indefinitely by a consulting firm. While I appreciate the fact that the library is open to the public, there is already a shortage of rooms with equipment (tv's and projectors) that enable CU students to study the lecture powerpoints as a group. It is fine to allow outside organizations to use the facilities from time to time; but with the rooms in Ed1 and Ed2 already full, and the number of students on campus increasing, the library is an increasingly vital for our education. We already have a shortage of study space on campus. Allowing indefinite, non-academic usage of space constructed specifically for students adversely affects our learning.
On a different note, I want to emphasize how amazing the staff is at the library. They are incredibly professional, helpful and nice. Since last semester, I have been consistently coming here four to six times a week; that entire time there has never been a single negative interaction. In fact, the complaint I give above is the only negative experience I have ever had here.
In a way, I want the space to be available so that my study partner and I can keep coming.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment and concerns about the use of Rm 3203. The consulting firm, McKinsey, has been officially engaged by the University of Colorado System to conduct a thorough review of the research activities occurring on all CU campuses, including ours, and due to the breadth and scope of the initiative the term of engagement is expected to last a year. The Library was identified as a good location due to the accessibility of the building. The space will be used as a site where the consultants can meet with campus administration, faculty and graduate students. The space also has the correct technology set-up to allow the consultants to work with CU personnel on the other campuses. Library Administration determined that of all the meeting rooms in the Library that may be scheduled by affiliated groups, Rm 3203 was the best as it is the least-used meeting room in the building.
At the Library we are aware of the demand for study space, the growing class size, and the desire for access to technology. Staff are available to assist all customers find a room in which to work, including rooms outfitted with the technology that is needed. We are also considering how to increase the volume and quality of our study spaces; we recently renovated former vending and printer rooms to create three additional study rooms. Last year we purchased additional flat panel monitors for rooms that lacked them and hope to buy more, budget allowing.
I hope these comments provide additional information and context. I am happy to discuss this or any other matter – please feel free to connect with me by phone at 303-724-2133, by e-mail at email@example.com or stop by for a visit in Library Administration. My office is on the 3rd floor, west side of the building.
Thank you for using the Library and for your concern.
The desktop computers on the first floor, (and maybe for the laptops) have been experiencing very slow processing times and takes time to upload internet webpages. Downtown IT had similar experience in their labs and it was b/c they incorporated a new computer network system. I'm guessing the system is new? I like your computers but wish they were faster (i.e. try watching youtube videos- there is lots of buffering and lag time is clear).
We are in the process of upgrading our systems to help improve performance for the computers on the first floor, specifically to address audio and video choppiness. We are aware that this is an issue for the commons workstations.
In general the campuses internet download speeds vary significantly throughout the day. Since internet bandwidth is shared with all of the campuses computers, speeds vary from minute to minute whether you are on a staff workstation, wireless laptop or first floor library stations.
The campus-wide IT Services group have indicated that they are working on system upgrades to help improve overall internet speeds.
We really appreciate your feedback and would like to schedule a brief one on one meeting in the library to observe and document the performance issues that you have been experiencing.
If you would be willing to meet with us, please contact Mike Campbell via his email - email@example.com
I borrowed reserved books and was told that I need to return them after 2 hours. After that I need to wait an hour in order to re-borrow. Though the girl was very nice allowing me to renew my borrowing immediately, I think this rule doesn't make sense. I understand there are others who need reserved books. But if we can allow people to request to put holds on reserved books, then when I returned I will know if there's anyone needing the book and don't need to return for one hour and borrow them again. Just a thought.
Thank you for your feedback.
Because there are a limited number of copies (from 1-3) of reserve books, the library gives desk staff discretion on allowing repeat renewals/checkouts. If there have been requests for a reserve item that is checked out, then a staff member may not allow the borrower to re-check out the book so that other students can use the resource. At this time, we do not have a method to place a hold on a reserve book (the hold system we use for circulating copies will not work on reserve items), so we leave it to the desk staff to decide whether to allow continual checkouts to one specific student or to give the title a one-hour cool down period to allow others to access the book.
If we only have one copy of a reserve item and you feel that we should have additional copies, you can request additional copies through the http://hslibrary.ucdenver.edu/collections/suggest form on the Health Sciences Library website.

Reserves Coordinator
Hi, I recently used a free trial subscription to Visual Dx, and found it really helpful. It would be nice if we could get this resource permanently!
Thank you for your feedback on VisualDx!
We are examining the usage data we collected from VisualDx trial and the subscription options. We should make a decision fairly soon. Stay tuned.

Please buy laptop universal power charger cords for circulation. Thanks.
Thank you for your feedback.
The library has considered this exact question in the past. It would be great to fulfill the need and there does seem to be customer/student interest in the provision of universal chargers for PC Windows-type laptops. I think we can all agree that the grand variety of PC laptops 'out there' today is rather daunting, and thus it is challenging to provide a universal-enough power cord that would suit enough users and do so efficiently and safely. We have some concern about potential damage due to misuse of chargers – polarity and voltage differences could pose problems even when the connection seems to fit. The library would hate to risk damage to anyone's laptop with equipment we provide and so we have some liability concerns wrapped up in this question. The grand number of tips and attachments with such universal chargers would be challenging as well in various ways. That all being said, there are affordable options out there and you are not the first customer to suggest this.
We will continue to explore the options and consider the pricing of various solutions, see if a product or two can be tried without too many obstacles. I can make no promises because we do see some problems that could interfere with success in this provision. A couple library staff are shopping and looking at various brands and we will continue to consider the pros and cons.

Came with a group looking for a group study room. Of all of the "small group" rooms, only two had more than one person. The Quiet room [room 2100, second floor] with individual desks and the one person rooms [booths] were empty.
Suggestion: designate a proportion of group rooms, "Two or more people only." This is poor use of space and resources.
Thank you very much for this feedback and suggestion.
Library leadership is considering.
Another option to consider is group study room 1305 on the first floor in our information commons area. This nice and large room with LCD can be reserved easily and quickly online.
Thank you for the signs around the second floor making it a "quiet zone". I think this has drastically reduced the volume and it also makes it much easier to ask students to be quieter. However, there have been multiple instances of library staff walking together talking at full volume on the second floor (outside of study rooms). I do not feel comfortable asking the library staff to be quiet - could you please pass along the message that the quiet culture on the second floor should apply to everyone!
Thank you for the comment. We appreciate it. And we are happy to hear your experience that our 2nd floor quiet campaign has made a notable difference. Our survey with student users back in 2011 indicated a high interest amongst CU Anschutz students that the library declare a quiet floor and so far second floor seems a good choice.
It makes perfect sense that patrons in our library would feel uncomfortable asking library staff to quiet down. That said, please know you should always feel free to do so. I am glad you decided to submit this comment via Tell Us. We in the library feel the quiet culture for second floor applies to ourselves as well. We will strive to remind ourselves in staff meetings to make a greater effort at being quieter on second floor and to hold off our staff conversations for our work areas instead of public space on the second floor. It is a cultural change we are striving for over time and so it is wonderful to be reminded by users like yourself so we can get better at preserving as much quiet on 2nd floor as possible. The library will continue to encourage mindfulness around this issue with all our employees.
Thank you.

Maccabiah Gold For Trojans
Aug. 5, 2013
USC water polo had three representatives travel to Israel this summer to compete for the United States at the 2013 Maccabiah Games. USC senior and 2013 NCAA champion Madeline Rosenthal was named MVP as she helped the USA women's team win gold. The U.S. men's team also claimed gold, with help from former Trojans Devon and Spencer Borisoff.
Read Maddy's blog about the amazing experience at the Maccabiah Games below:
Hello Trojan Family! I have just returned back to the States from my time in Israel, where I had the time of my life and was able to play some water polo! I was selected during the spring to represent the USA at the 19th World Maccabiah Games. The Maccabiah Games, which is the third largest sporting event in the world, is held in Israel once every four years. Many people refer to it as the "Jewish Olympics", and that's pretty much what it is. Jews from countries all over the world gather in Israel to compete against each other, as well as celebrate our culture.
The Maccabiah Games were a once in a lifetime experience for me. It was incredible seeing thousands of people of my same heritage being brought together through sport. I met rugby players from Australia, swimmers from Great Britain, field hockey players from Argentina, and many other amazing athletes. I was lucky in that my team was a great group of girls.
My teammates have played at universities all over the country, including Brown, University of Michigan, San Diego State, and even UCLA. In the water polo portion of the Maccabiah, our biggest competitiors were Hungary and Israel. It was incredible seeing the different styles of play from all over the world. It even gave me an appreciation for the program here at SC and all the water polo knowledge that our coaching staff shares with us. I'm proud to say that we came home with gold medals after coming out on top of a close game against Israel. The atmosphere during the final game was pretty incredible. The men's water polo and rugby teams came out to support us, in addition to several other American fans, but they were no match to all the Israelis that came to cheer on their national team. The pool deck was loud and exhilarating. It was a really fun game to play in.
In our down time the men's and women's water polo teams travelled all over Israel, taking in sights such as the Dead Sea, Old town Jerusalem, and the beaches of Tel Aviv. I had the most amazing time and was sad to leave. I would recommend traveling to Israel to anyone who would listen and hope to return again! Who knows, maybe for the 20th Maccabiah Games!
As I return to the States, I look back on what could possibly be the best summer of my life. Between winning the national championship in May with a team comprised of all my best friends, to traveling to Israel to win a gold medal and have a chance to represent my country, it's safe to say I've been on cloud nine for a while now. I'm excited for my senior season and look forward to bringing this momentum into the new year!

Having both the 405 and the 444.
Hornadys factory load for the 405 wcf is 2200 fps with a 300 gr bullet.
If handloaded, 2400 fps is reachable within safe pressure limits.
It's easy to duplicate the factory 405 load with the 444.
Just take Speer #13 manual.
55.5 grs Hodgdon H335 behind Speer 300 gr Uni-Cor for 2211 fps.
But 2400 fps with a 300 gr bullet in the 444 Marlin within safe pressure limits, it's absolutly impossible.
But, for longer range, take a look at Vihtavuori powders.
They list Hornadys 265 grs bullet to over 2400 fps with VV N120 and VV N130.
And that is out of a 22 in barrel, within safe pressure limit.
Run that load trough a ballistic calculator and look at the trajectory.

We owned you commies in November and then we'll get more in 2012. You screwed up America and this is the last taste of socialism in our country ever. Look at change in the Electoral votes. Obama or old, tired commie Hillary will get seven states. States like Pennsylvania, Ohio, Texas, Florida will get 4-10 more Republican congressmen in 2012.
Americans want the House to stop the spending, defund the czars, the ripped off of the GM shareholders and bondholders, closing down the Chrysler dealerships…
I just want my old light bulbs back.
I am sorry, was that actually supposed to make any sense?
I'm pretty sure your lightbulbs have probably just shrunk with age.
I find that most people who discuss Hilter actually have no idea who he really was. Learn something about him first. Here is a video to get you started:
There's this thing called the "levels" filter in Photoshop. Might want to look into that.
And … why now? "Because other people did it to a guy I like" is the kind of reason cited by 6 year olds the world over. Congrats on joining such august company.

WTA Rogers Cup: Maria Sharapova dumped out by Carla Suarez Navarro in Montreal
Last Updated: 07/08/14 10:45pm
Maria Sharapova was eliminated from the Rogers Cup in Montreal after being beaten 6-2 4-6 6-2 by Carla Suarez Navarro.
No 14 seed Navarro emerged victorious in the third round clash despite a second-set fightback from Sharapova and a nerve-testing final-set rain delay.
The French Open champion was playing her first event since a surprise fourth-round exit at Wimbledon and has now suffered another setback ahead of the US Open.
Suarez Navarro raced through the first set and went a break up in the second, but Sharapova reeled off four straight games to level the match.
The Spaniard responded by edging ahead in the decider and although the rain break gave the underdog plenty of time to think about the situation, on the resumption Sharapova failed to mount a comeback.
Sharapova committed a grand total of 49 unforced errors during the match.
Another shock on Thursday saw second seed and newly-crowned Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova beaten 6-4 1-6 6-2 by Ekaterina Makarova.
Kvitova, who like Sharapova has not played any competitive tennis since Wimbledon, paid the price for inconsistent play and will not be able to regain the title she won in 2012.

Summer means lemonade stands on the
neighborhood street corner. This year, however, your
family can give this happy summertime tradition a
twist. You can use the event to teach your kids the joy
that comes from helping others. Two special
websites, described below, explain how easy it is for
you and your kids to make a
positive difference.

"Giving kids clothes and food is one thing, but it's much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people."
Dolores Huerta, cofounder of the United Farm Workers of America
Four-year-old Alexandra Scott had been through a lot in her short life. She was diagnosed with cancer before her first birthday, and her doctors felt that her treatment options had been exhausted. But an experimental treatment, recommended by a new physician, led to a dramatic decrease in her pain and discomfort. It was at that point, in January 2002, that Alex first mentioned to her mom, Liz Scott, that she'd like to have a lemonade stand. The following summer it became clear why she was so determined. "I'm not going to keep the money," Alex told her mother. "I'm giving the money to the hospital so they can help kids like they helped me."
Liz told DGT that she was careful to keep Alex's expectations reasonable, but thanks to a small article about her in the local paper, that first lemonade stand, held in the front yard of their Connecticut home, raised $2,000 to research a cure for pediatric cancer. The next year (the family was now living in Philadelphia), a feature story in the Philadelphia Inquirer helped attract $12,000 in donations. The entire family was stunned by the generosity of their community. There and then, a movement was born.
Soon, families around the country were hosting lemonade stands to raise money for Alex's cause. She set the ambitious goal of raising one million dollars. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), the nonprofit created as an outgrowth of her idea, reached that goal in the summer of 2004. Just two weeks later, Alex passed away. Since that time, thanks to the continued support of Alex's family, which includes her three brothers, ALSF has continued to prosper and has now raised over $25 million dollars in additional revenue, funding over 100 research projects nationwide.
In her conversation with DGT, Liz said that not every venture will turn into a multimillion dollar nonprofit, but she doesn't think that's a reason to hold back when a family member has an idea about how to make a difference. When Liz told Alex she was unlikely to raise very much money at that first lemonade stand, her daughter responded, "I don't care. Every little bit helps." If everyone took that attitude, says Liz, we'd realize that when families work together for the common good, it's always - by its very definition -- a success.
Now you have a new and effortless way to raise money for Doing Good Together. Every time you use Yahoo!'s GoodSearch.com as your search engine, they'll donate a penny to us. Simply go to the site and choose Doing Good Together as the charity of your choice. In addition, if you do your online shopping through the Yahoo! online mall, GoodShop.com, (where you can access more than 900 of your favorite online retailers), a percentage of your purchases will go to us, too. You pay the same price you normally would, but a donation goes to DGT!

Ranking Joe
The dawn of the '80s saw Joe join in with one of the era's most acclaimed soundsystems, Ray Symbolic Hi-Fi (with Jah Screw), whose popularity spread far outside of Jamaica, resulting in a sold-out tour of the U.K. in 1980. Despite showing great promise, the soundsystem broke up a year later, which resulted in both Joe and DJ Screw teaming up and working as a production team for other artists (including being one of the last producers to work at King Tubby's infamous old studio, Dangerous Dub). After relocating to New York City (the Bronx, to be exact), Joe continued to produce recordings for other reggae artists, including Frankie Paul, Black Uhuru, Dennis Brown, Glen Washington, Glen Brown, The Meditations, King Tubby, Shinehead, and Papa San. The late '90s/early 2000s saw Ranking Joe resume his own recording career once more, issuing such further solo releases as Fast Forward to Africa, Ghetto People, and 3 the Roots Way. Ranking Joe's influence can be detected in such modern-day reggae artists as Beenie Man, Pan Head, and the aforementioned Papa San, among others. ~ Greg Prato

From wooden glasses to honey, some Greeks innovating to survive
By Michele Kambas and Lefteris Papadimas
ATHENS (Reuters) - If necessity is the mother of invention, eight years of a crippling recession and dwindling work prospects has compelled at least some Greeks to reboot, switch professions and innovate to survive.
From the island of Syros, handmade wooden spectacle frames are proving a hit with hipsters in Europe and beyond. Gold-infused organic honey from the rolling hills of Evoia in the east is finding favor with upmarket clients in the United States, London, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates. And in an Athens suburb, a carpenter turned to his lifetime hobby of crafting fishing spearguns after his business faltered. His first client was from Russia.
Dimitris Hatzirodos, whose spearguns retail between 450 and 1,500 euros, said the crisis is forcing Greeks to think outside the box.
"When things get tough it gets you thinking, you start thinking differently. When things are easy nobody ever makes difficult choices," he says, sitting in the workshop that he and his brother inherited from their father.
More than 400,000 Greeks have emigrated abroad since the country's financial crisis started in 2009. Those who stayed are lucky to find jobs -- a quarter of the population is unemployed, and earnings have fallen on average 40 percent. National output has fallen by a quarter since 2008.
Periklis Therrios, 36, briefly migrated to Canada. But home beckoned.
He and his partner Eleni Vakondiou, 37, turned to making hand-crafted spectacle frames around 2012, some of them using recycled materials. The idea came over a coffee, after earlier endeavors with furniture flopped.
"It was very difficult, and there were many times when we thought about giving up, but we believed in our efforts, we believed that we would make a product that could stand on its own in the market," said Vakondiou. Continued...

Courts are government institutions that administer justice in criminal and civil matters. They're mediated by one or more judges, magistrates or justices who have been appointed or elected.
Courts rely on an adversarial system of justice, which is intended to resolve disputes with fair and impartial outcomes. Their primary purpose is to decide questions of law and determine facts. Attorneys for each side present arguments and introduce evidence to support their arguments.
In some court cases, the final judgment is handed down by a jury of citizens chosen through a selection process. In other cases, a judge makes the final ruling. Cases may be heard in criminal court, civil court, or appellate court.

Officials from Bangor Hydro say they're ready for what could be an ice storm.
This week, company leaders spoke with representatives from the state's emergency management agency, National Weather Service, as well as municipal leaders.
They don't expect this one to be as bad as the infamous "Ice Storm of 98", but do want people to be prepared.
Bob Potts, Communications Specialists for Bangor Hydro said, "In the conference call yesterday that I took part in with Maine Emergency Management there was a lot of talk about how does this relate to the ice storm of '98 and thankfully they are telling us that it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad, hopefully nowhere near as bad, but yeah, we certainly did learn a lot of lessons through that."
Bangor Hydro officials suggest having a charged cell phone, in case you lose power, non-perishable food, any medication you may need, and a flashlight with working batteries.
If you have a generator, make sure to keep it outside your home while its running.
To report an outage in your area call Bangor Hydro at 973-2020.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 20/3/2014 (1190 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Brandon University Bobcats women's volleyball team was having a storybook season, until it came to an nightmarish end.
The squad had its best Canada West conference regular season in the Bobcats' nine years of existence, finishing second with a 17-5 record and beating every team in the league at least once. However, they were upset on their home court in the first round of the playoffs by the UBC Okanagan Heat.
It's with BU's women's volleyball team that we continue our end-of-season reports:
The Bobcats came into the season with a large number of returning players from the past two years, when the team narrowly missed the playoffs. This year the experience paid off.
Five of their seven starters were in their third, fourth or fifth years of eligibility. The other two were second-year Donata Huebert, who was named CIS libero of the year and a first-team all-Canadian, and 20-year-old rookie left side Vaovai Aiono, a New Zealand national team member who stepped right into a starting role and was named to the conference all-rookie team.
Brandon was solid in most areas. Fifth-year setter Kellie Baker finished fourth in the conference with 9.42 assists per set, while fifth-year middle Lexi Loewen set a team record with 102 blocks, good enough for fourth in Canada West. Fourth-year middle Meaghan Robertson finished as the fourth-most efficient hitter in the conference (.292), while third-year left side Shanlee McLennan's 3.06 kills per set was 10th best in Canada West.
What was even more impressive was the team's mindset. The Bobcats never felt like they were out of sets and proved it during the season as they overcame a 20-12 deficit against the national silver-medallist UBC Thunderbirds and a 20-9 deficit to the Winnipeg Wesmen.
"The girls really came in with a purpose and you could tell in their practice and their training that they really believed this was a different year and we were ready to make that jump to the top part of the league and you could just see it in them," BU head coach Lee Carter said.
It looked like Brandon was poised to win a playoff series and go to nationals for the first time ever.
The Bobcats were ranked second in the country going into the Canada West quarter-finals at the Healthy Living Centre with a 9-2 home record and loved playing in front of the crowd. However, the Bobcats came out a little flat and couldn't recover against the Heat.
BU led for only seven rallies as it was swept in the opener and lost the momentum in the second set of the second match.
Carter and his players have had time to reflect on the series, and feel it was just a bad combination of being flat and UBCO playing its best volleyball of the season.
"In all our meetings and interviews and looking at what happened, we still can't figure out what happened," Carter said. "It definitely wasn't confidence and it wasn't nerves. The girls felt until that final ball hit the ground that we were going to make the comeback. It was just a bad time to have a bad weekend."
Although it wasn't the ending they wanted, the playoff loss may spur the Bobcats to a run at nationals next year. Carter believes that feeling they had in the silent locker-room after they were eliminated from the playoffs will bring that extra bit of motivation for a team loaded with returning players.
Brandon expects to lose only Baker and Loewen. Mary Thomson showed she is more than capable of filling in at setter, while Jodie Baker and South Dakota State transfer Courtney Roberts are expected to battle to replace Loewen.
"We're really excited about next year," Carter said. "The team took a two-week break and they're back and training hard and the fitness testing was the best fitness testing we've had and they've really committed to that. … Next year will be even better than this year."

Team History
The former Jordan squad has gone through a number of different incarnations in recent years and the latest has seen the squad re-branded the Force India F1 team.
Jordan Grand Prix itself was founded in the early 1990's by Eddie Jordan and the team made an immediate impact on the F1 scene, wheeling out the very attractive, Gary Anderson designed, 7-Up sponsored 191 chassis in 1991. The car was to have been designated 911, but Porsche objected!
With the experienced - if accident prone - Andrea de Cesaris behind the wheel, Jordan gradually made its way towards the front of the grid. Having escaped from the pre-qualifying sessions, which used to precede the regular GP weekend, Jordan began to feature as regular point scorers. de Cesaris took fourth at the Canadian GP to open the team's account, and almost led the Belgian race before retiring.
The other seat proved even more eventful, however, with original driver Bertrand Gachot jailed for assaulting a London taxi driver and replacement Michael Schumacher being poached by Benetton after just one race. Roberto Moreno and rookie Alex Zanardi saw out the season.
The combination of under-rated Hart engines and the exciting talent of Rubens Barrichello brought the team back to the forefront in 1993, with the Brazilian coming close to a podium finish at Donington Park's European GP. Had the second seat been more settled - and not featured a total of five faces during the season, the team could have managed better than 10th place overall.
Having signed Eddie Irvine for a controversial debut in Japan, Jordan continued with the partnership with Barrichello for another two seasons, returning to the top six in the Constructors' series. Although Irvine began the season by incurring a three race ban following an accident in Brazil, the pair took the team's first podium finishes in Canada before Barrichello scored Jordan's first pole position at Spa-Francorchamps in 1995.
The team maintained a top five presence in the Constructors' standings despite some varied results between 1995 and 1997. With Irvine leaving for Ferrari in 1996, and Barrichello departing for Stewart the following year, Jordan could have suffered greatly, but the impressive combination of then rookies Giancarlo Fisichella and Ralf Schumacher, and works Peugeot engines, kept the team in the hunt for victories in 1997.
It was all change for 1998, however, with Damon Hill replacing Benetton-bound Fisichella and Mugen taking over from Peugeot. The 198 chassis proved difficult to set up in the early part of the year, and Jordan found itself scrapping with Minardi for eighth and ninth places in Monaco, before executing a dramatic about-turn after the half-way point in France.
Schumacher started the ball rolling with sixth place - and the team's first point of the season - at Silverstone and, from then on, the heavily revised Jordan's scored in almost every race. The highest point, however, came at the sodden and carnage-strewn Belgian GP, where Hill led his team-mate home for the team's first win. The party that night was riotous - even by Jordan's standards!
For 1999, an Anglo-German partnership continued to pedal the new 199 chassis, but Heinz-Harald Frentzen swapped seats with Schumacher and moved over from Williams. Gone, too, was long-time designer Gary Anderson, replaced by ex-Tyrrell man Mike Gascoyne. The new car was a revision of the latterly successful 198, and continued to utilise the reliable - and increasingly powerful - Mugen V10 engine. This was put to good effect as Frentzen recovered from his Grove nightmare to notch up wins in France and Italy, and almost put together a title challenge. Hill, however, disappointed pondering over his decision to retire before eventually sliding out of the sport after parking his 199 on three occasions.
The Englishman was replaced by Italian star Jarno Trulli for 2000, while Jordan fielded the radical-looking EJ10. So named to commemorate the team's tenth season in the top flight, the car impressed with its speed in testing and it was hoped that it would allow them to again challenge the sport's big two.
Jordon were though perhaps the biggest disappointment of the 2000 season with Frentzen and Trulli mustering only 17 points between them amidst a long list of mechanical failures that thwarted the team during the year. The gearbox was the first sticking point and the team suffered no less than 11 mechanical failures during the year, dropping behind Williams, BAR and Benetton in the constructors chase.
For 2001 the team retained its driver line-up, and added Ricardo Zonta to the staff as the official test driver.
The year proved to be largely disappointing, however, with neither Frentzen nor Trulli really delivering the goods. The Italian showed flashes of potential in qualifying but again apparently lacked the same sort of commitment in races, while Frentzen was just plain lacklustre.
Matters came to a head before the German GP, when Frentzen was sacked after a row with team boss Eddie Jordan, and replaced temporarily by Zonta.
The Brazilian's chances of landing the seat full-time were hampered by an embarrassing Hockenheim outing for the whole team - in front of vociferous Frentzen fans as well - and, when the chance came to bring back former Jordan F3000 favourite Jean Alesi, Eddie wasted no time in installing the Frenchman alongside Trulli.
The team's fortunes took a brief rise, as Alesi held of Ralf Schumacher to claim sixth in Belgium, but, despite a fourth for Trulli in the USA - ironically pushing Alesi out of the top six after he was reinstated on appeal after disqualification - the season rather fizzled out. Only Alesi's last race ending in the wall with Kimi Raikkonen left its mark.
The Frenchman, hoped to retain his seat for 2002, as Trulli was Renault-bound, however the team eventually opted for Giancarlo Fisichella and Takuma Sato, leaving Alesi only one option - retirement.
The year though was pretty dismal, and on the whole it was a struggle. It took the outfit until the Austrian GP to score points and then things improved, although only marginally. Three consecutive fifth place finishes, at the A1 Ring, Monaco and Canada was as good as it got, and although they would get two more points finishes - a sixth in Hungary and a fifth in Japan - the EJ12 proved to be a difficult car, so much so that designer Eghbal Hamidy left the team even before the first GP and Henri Durand eventually took over, working alongside Gary Anderson, who returned in the October, prior to the 2002 season.
2001 British F3 Champion Sato also failed to impress, his early season form was far from great and although he improved, and finished the year on a high at Suzuka, he failed to really match his team-mate, Fisichella.
The team ended the season though sixth in the constructors', with nine points, beating the likes of Jaguar, Toyota and fellow Honda powered runners, BAR. It wasn't enough though to convince Honda, and the team switched to Ford-Cosworth engines for 2003.
On the driver front Fisichella stayed for the following season, the Italian partnered by reigning Formula Nippon champion, Ralph Firman, following the exit of Sato.
Early testing of the new EJ13 was mixed, and in many ways that is how you can sum up the team's year.
Brazil was undoubtedly the high point, when Fisichella took a fortuitous win, in the rain affected race at Interlagos, other than that though a further seventh place finish in America (again Fisichella) and an eighth in Spain (this time Firman) were the only points scoring efforts.
The team ended the year in the doldrums, ninth in the constructors' on 13 points - ahead of only Minardi. A legal dispute with Vodafone was also a rather embarrassing episode too, one that the outfit lost.
Jordan was the last to confirm their driver line-up for 2004, Nick Heidfeld the first to get the nod, with Giorgio Pantano taking the other seat, after protracted negotiations with Jos Verstappen fell through.
The new EJ14 was off the pace in winter testing following it's low key 'launch' at Silverstone, and early signs were less than good.
If Jordan thought 2003, was bad, then 2004 was even worse. Three points finishes was as good as it got, Nick Heidfeld taking seventh at Monaco, while Timo Glock, who replaced Pantano for Canada [and the final three grand prix], helped the team to their best finish of the season in Montreal, when he combined with Heidfeld to finish seventh and eighth.
Jordan only scored 5 points all year, and unsurprisingly finished ninth in the Constructors'.
For 2005, there were some big changes behind the scenes - with team boss, Eddie Jordan selling the outfit to Alex Shnaider's Midland Group, something finally confirmed at the end of January. Jordan also switched to Toyota engines following Ford's decision to sell Jaguar Racing and Cosworth - a deal concluded by EJ prior to his sell-out.
The driver line-up meanwhile was confirmed in February, with Tiago Monteiro and Narain Karthikeyan signing on for the 2005 season.
It was the last year in F1 for the Jordan name but in reality, it was already very much a Midland operation, not that it made much difference in terms of on track performance. The uncompetitive EJ14 was modified to comply to the new regulations - and to fit the Toyota engine and after that Monteiro and Karthikeyan had to made do as best they could.
Unsurprisingly, the Jordan name didn't go out on a high and the team only scored twelve points, although eleven were picked up at the USGP when only the three Bridgestone-shod teams took part. The team ended the season ninth in the constructors' - once again ahead of only Minardi. Furthermore, while it introduced a B-spec chassis, it was only seen late in the season and, in all honesty, didn't make that much difference.
The team was officially re-branded MF1 Racing ahead of 2006, with a new Russian nationality and change of image - little did it know, however, that the team would take on another form before the end of the season.
With the pledge of scoring regular points, MF1 went to the first race with drivers Monteiro and Christijan Albers, the Dutchman making the switch from the now defunct Minardi to replace Karthikeyan. However, high initial hopes gave way to disappointment, with the M16 proving not nearly as quick as early predictions would have led to believe.
Battling it out with Toro Rosso and Super Aguri at the lower end of the grid, MF1 proved consistent rather than quick and, despite some decent flashes of speed in qualifying, where it reached the second knockout stage more regularly towards the end of the season, progress was slow and, before long, it appeared Midland was growing disillusioned with its investment.
Coupled to reports that the company was in financial trouble, it became clear MF1 was heading for its second re-branding in little over eight months. All was confirmed at the Italian Grand Prix, when niche Dutch manufacturer Spyker assumed control of the team, in the process changing its nationality, livery - to a distinctively patriotic orange and silver - and name, to Spyker MF1.
While neither Monteiro nor Albers would get the team off the mark in 2006, with Ferrari customer engines and the coup of designer Mike Gascoyne on their books, hopes were high that it would be more competitive in 2007.
Albers remained for his third season in F1, but Monteiro was, surprisingly, omitted from the line-up, despite being tipped as likely to re-sign.
Instead, Albers was joined by promising German youngster Adrian Sutil, who had impressed the team on his occasional outings during Friday practice through 2006.
During '07 Sutil impressed and while he was somewhat erratic on occasion, he still shone, most noticeably during the rain-hit Saturday morning practice of the Monaco GP, when he topped the times. Adrian also scored the teams' one and only point at the Japanese GP, by which time Albers was long gone.
The Dutchman was dumped after the British GP, with Markus Winkelhock brought in for the European GP, before Sakon Yamamoto saw out the remainder of the year.
Although progress was made - and the new B-spec car, which was introduced at Monza, helped, the team went through yet another change, with Spyker Cars NV selling the operation on to Indian billionaire Vijay Mallya and Dutch businessman Michiel Mol.
Consequently, the team was re-named Force India F1 for 2008, but retained Sutil, pairing the German with F1 veteran Giancarlo Fisichella, who came full circle and returned to the outfit he once graced during its Jordan days. Toro Rosso refugee Vitantonio Liuzzi came on board as the official test and reserve driver, but the team was always going to be up against it with essentially a reworked version of its 2007 – and thus 2006 - challenger.
Left at the very back by Super Aguri's mid-season exit, making it through to the second phase of qualifying was almost the height of the team's ambition – something it managed to achieve before the end of the year – while points remained a pipe dream in all but the most extreme circumstances. It was sad, therefore, when Sutil was barged out of the Monaco GP by Kimi Raikkonen when appearing on course for fourth. The German was left to nurse a best finish of 13th, from Spa, while Fisi broke the top ten only once, in Spain, leaving the team scoreless.
For the 2009 campaign, hopes were high of forward progress, with the team switching to Mercedes engines and also entering into a deal with McLaren for a supply of gearboxes, hydraulic systems and KERS.
Sutil and Fisichella both remained in place and the German came close to scoring the first points for the team in China, where he spun off in wet conditions late on, and in Germany, where he qualified inside the top ten and could well have scored without needing to pit for a replacement nose.
It was therefore left to Fisichella to open Force India's F1 account in dramatic fashion at Spa, where he placed his VJM02 on pole position and then clinched second in the race behind Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari. Sutil then scored a fine fourth place at Monza having qualified on the front row, and managed third on the grid in Brazil although he would fail to add to his tally.
Fisichella's move to Ferrari after his Spa heroics have test driver Tonio Liuzzi the chance to move into a race seat for the final five races of 2009 – albeit without scoring – and the Italian was then confirmed as Sutil's team-mate for 2010.
Having managed to break its duck the previous year, Force India became regular contenders for points with the VJM03, albeit without repeating the success enjoyed the previous season. Sutil would manage to score on nine occasions – with a best of fifth coming in Malaysia and Belgium – while Liuzzi brought his car home inside the top ten on five occasions, the Italian missing out on more points through a combination of bad luck and poor qualifying.
There was a first double points finish along the way in Monaco, but the loss of a number of key technical members as the year went on and failure to score in the final two races of the season meant Williams were able to pip Force India to sixth in the championship standings.
Although linked with moves elsewhere, Sutil stayed on for a fourth season in 2011 but there was no place in the line-up for Liuzzi, who was ousted in favour of test driver Paul di Resta.
Both drivers scored in the season opener in Australia, with di Resta also managing a tenth place finish in Malaysia to pick up points in his first two events in F1. The Scot then failed to score until Hungary in July, but that was only after strong performances in both Canada and at Silverstone went unrewarded. Sixth place in Singapore was the highlight for the former test driver and six top ten finishes in the final nine races ensured he ended the year as the best placed rookie in the standings.
Sutil meanwhile added a further eight points finishes to his tally as the season wore on, with sixth in Germany and the season finale in Brazil being his best of the campaign. Scoring in the final three races also helped the team to sixth in the standings, although there was some disappointment at falling just short of beating Renault to fifth.
With added investment from Sahara India Pariwar seeing the team branded as Sahara Force India, hopes were high of making forward progress in 2012 in the quest to move to the head of the midfield pack. Di Resta remained for another season, but had a new team-mate as Nico Hulkenberg followed his lead by moving up from test driver to fill the second seat.
It would turn out to be a season of mixed emotions as the pair managed to improve the team's points tally by 40, but dropped a place in the constructors' championship as the battle in the midfield increased.
While rivals like Sauber and Williams impressed early on in the season, the Silverstone-based squad started slowly and improved as the year went on – scoring the lion's share of its points after the summer break.
On his return to a race seat after a year in his testing role, Hulkenberg started slowly but when he was fully up to speed, the German again showed why he is so highly rated – with strong results in Valencia, and at Spa before the final fly-away events. Five top eight finishes in the final six races included a stunning drive in Brazil, where he led in the early stages in wet conditions before a clash with Lewis Hamilton saw him pick up a penalty that dropped him down to fifth.
Di Resta by contrast saw his result tail off after impressive showings in italy – where he qualified fourth before a gearbox penalty – and in Singapore, where he qualified sixth and then matched his best F1 result in fourth. It meant the Scot ended the season behind Hulkenberg in the standings, although he stayed on to lead the team into another season.
The identity of his team-mate wasn't confirmed until the final pre-season test of the year, when it was revealed that Sutil would make his return after a season on the sidelines – seeing off the challenge of test driver Jules Bianchi to earn a second chance after his previous indiscretions.

Happy toddler zone
Everything parents need to know about raising happy, healthy little ones. more
With your toddler now much more physically able, he'll want to explore the outer limits of his abilities. He'll love to climb, jump and run - often in a direction opposite to you! But his new-found confidence will also mean that he is at a higher risk of accidents as he doesn't understand when he should stop.
At 2 ½ years:
By 3 years:
All children are different and develop at different rates, so don't be overly concerned if your toddler is acquiring new skills at a different rate to those around him. But if you are worried about his development or it seems to have stalled or be going backwards, talk to a health professional.

Wet fields to blame | Some Manitoba farmers expect yields to decrease by 20 to 30 percent
There is a serious issue with one of the first crops being harvested this summer.
"Fusarium infection is very bad in winter wheat," said Doug Chorney, president of Manitoba's Keystone Agricultural Producers.
"In most fields people can find white heads everywhere, even though we all sprayed fungicides. It doesn't matter because it was so wet during flowering."
Chorney said 15 to 20 percent of the heads in his winter wheat fields are completely white.
"That could mean at the very least a 20 to 30 percent yield hit," he said.
"I have threshed out those heads in my hand and the seeds are already shrivelled up. They'll hopefully blow out the back of the combine so I don't have to get downgraded on the rest of the wheat that is good. It could be very bad."
Amir Farooq, farm production adviser with Manitoba Agriculture, said the infection rate is moderate to high in the crops he has inspected in farmers' fields and the Manitoba Crop Variety Evaluation Team trials.
Elevators in central Manitoba are receiving samples with 15 to 20 percent infection levels.
"It will be a challenge for producers to get good quality winter wheat this year," he said.
The good news is that fusarium levels in spring wheat appear to be very low. Farooq said the difference is that the winter wheat flowered at a time when conditions were wet and cool while spring wheat flowering occurred when it was dry and hot.
That created ideal conditions for the spread of the disease in winter wheat and farmers were unable to get into their fields to spray fungicide during the critical flowering period.
Ken Gross, Manitoba agronomist with the Western Winter Wheat Initiative, said winter wheat usually avoids fusarium because it is further developed than spring wheat during the crucial infection period.
That wasn't the case this year due to the cool spring and cold soil conditions.
"It got pushed right into the fusarium infection window," he said.
"This is about as tough a year as I've seen for trying to control fusarium in winter wheat."
It didn't help that many fields were too wet to navigate right at the time when farmers should have been applying a foliar fungicide.
A third issue was that crop development was patchy due to the long, hard winter.
That resulted in more wheat tillers than normal, which made spraying more difficult. The right time to spray the main stem of the plants was too early for the tillers.
The result is widespread infection in a crop where there are very few varieties that offer protection against the disease.
Fusarium infection isn't as prevalent in Saskatchewan's winter wheat crops.
"There is certainly some infection levels but not to the extent we've heard from Manitoba," said Paul Thoroughgood, Saskatchewan agronomist with the Western Winter Wheat Initiative.
The caveat is that he hasn't toured fields in eastern Saskatchewan, where growers suffered through the same type of soggy spring as their Manitoba counterparts.
Gross anticipates a sizable increase in winter wheat acreage this fall despite the fusarium issue.
He hopes to see 1.5 million acres on the Prairies, up from 1.15 million acres last fall. Gross said it is still one of the most profitable crops to grow and offers another important side benefit.
"It sure relieves a lot of stress getting seed in the ground in these tough years when you have short springs," said Gross.

"The [school's] policy and the Act [1954 Act adding 'under God' to the Pledge] fail the coercion test. Just as in Lee [Lee v. Weisman, 1992], the policy and the Act place students in the untenable position of choosing between participating in an exercise with religious content or protesting."
June 26, 2002 - Newdow v. US (65 KB)
"There is no question that small children have essentially no choice but to join their fellow students when led by their teachers in a daily ritual, or that the rare young person with sufficient fortitude to display her disbelief in God would not be ostracized in today's society by exempting herself from such a routine."
Apr. 2005 - Newdow Brief.pdf (1,169 KB)
"We're dealing with schoolchildren and with role models in schools who are required to lead it. The circumstances are inherently fraught with compulsion or coercion and we feel that's a violation of church-state separation."
Nov. 14, 2003 - Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
"The Supreme Court has consistently held that the government may not coerce children to participate in religious exercises of any kind. When Congress added 'under God' to the Pledge, it turned a patriotic ritual into a religious testimonial, and that's not acceptable in our public schools."
[Editor's Note: In a March 29, 2007 email to ProCon.org, Lauren Smith, Communications Assistant for the Americans United for Separation of Church and State, affirmed her organization's support for the above stated position.]
June 29, 2003 - Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU)
"Thus, the fact that indirect coercion may result from voluntary recitation of the Pledge in school classrooms is of no moment under the Establishment Clause. Because the Pledge is by its nature a patriotic exercise, not a religious exercise."
Aug. 10, 2005 - Myers v. Loudoun County (135 KB)
"First, the court of appeals' 'coercion' analysis fails because it is based on the false premise that reciting the Pledge is a religious exercise. The test for unconstitutional coercion is not whether some aspect of the public school curriculum has 'religious content' (Pet. App. 13), but whether the government itself has become pervasively involved in or effectively coerced a religious exercise."
Dec. 2003 - US Department of Justice (DOJ)
"A sense of proportion should also guide those who police the boundaries between church and state. Not every mention of God in public is a breach to the wall of separation -- context matters. It is doubtful that children reciting the Pledge of Allegiance feel oppressed or brainwashed as a consequence of muttering the phrase 'under God.' I didn't."
June 28, 2006 - Barack Obama, JD

Intelligence suggesting al-Qaeda was planning to release a chemical or biological agent aboard an airliner, or else transport a radiological device in cargo, were among the factors that prompted the cancellation of six flights bound for the US, Bush Administration officials said.
The intelligence about a weapon of mass destruction was vague, the officials said, and they remained concerned about possible attempted hijackings.
All the cancellations were overseas flights bound for the US yesterday and today - as were the flights by foreign carriers called off around Christmas. But for the first time, a flight by a US-based carrier was cancelled. Continental Airlines Flight 17 was scheduled to fly from Glasgow, Scotland, to Los Angeles yesterday but was "unable to obtain the necessary security clearances from the Department of Homeland Security and their international counterparts", a Continental spokesman said.
British Airways cancelled Flight 223 from Heathrow to Washington yesterday and today, and Flight 207 from Heathrow to Miami yesterday, after the airline was ordered to do so by the British Government for "security reasons".
A return flight from Washington to Heathrow, Flight 222, also was cancelled yesterday and today. Flight 223 was cancelled several times during the holiday season for security reasons.
Air France also cited security as the reason for cancelling Flight 26 from Paris to Washington yesterday and today. The return flight, Flight 27, which would have used the same aircraft as Flight 26, also was cancelled on both days.
"We have [a] threat reporting specific to time, date and location of specific flights," a Bush Administration official said.
In discussions with British, French and American airline officials, US authorities demanded enhanced "tiered" security precautions that some airlines could not take. "It became easier to just cancel the flights," the Administration official said.
Several US intelligence officials said al-Qaeda was desperate to mount a spectacular attack to show its followers, new recruits and financial donors that it remains viable.
CIA officials say 75 per cent of al-Qaeda's leadership has been killed or captured since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.
US intelligence officials said al-Qaeda also might be particularly active because of the five-day Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, which climaxed on Saturday. The three-day Eid celebration began yesterday.
There was no indication yesterday's Super Bowl was threatened.
Intelligence officials said the information about unconventional weapons did not suggest a precise tactic.
The possibilities include releasing an undetectable biological agent such as smallpox or anthrax aboard a plane that passengers would then unknowingly spread; releasing a chemical agent to debilitate the passengers and crew so the plane could be hijacked; and sneaking a radiological device aboard a plane inside a piece of luggage.

Best of 7 Series
Game 1 Match-Up: Frank Viola vs. Mudcat Grant
Frank Viola played his sweet music in Game 1 of this epic showdown. After a disappointing Game 1 in the semi-final match-up, Viola was on a mission to prove something to the hometown fans. He pitch masterfully for seven innings and only allowed one late inning run. The bullpen of the '87 Twins tried to give the game back to their opponents from 1965. Tom Kelly had to turn to Jeff Reardon in the 8th inning with the bases loaded to save the game for the '87 Twins.
1987 Twins 5
1965 Twins 4 ('87 Twins Lead Series 1-0)
Game 2 Match-Up: Bert Blyleven vs. Jim Kaat
The '65 Twins brought their power bats to the Metrodome for this pivotal Game 2 against the '87 club. Blyleven was having trouble locating his curveball and that meant a lot of hanging pitches that ended up over the baggy at the Metrodome. Blyleven's struggles on the mound allowed Kaat to breeze through eight innings while only giving up a couple runs. The '65 Twins had stolen homefield advantage from the #1 seed 1987 Twins.
1965 Twins 7
1987 Twins 2 (Series Tied 1-1)
Game 3 Match-Up: Les Straker vs. Jim Perry
The '87 Twins took a comfortable three-run lead into the bottom of the ninth inning in the first game of this series played at Metropolitan Stadium. The wheels started to unfold in this final innings as the bases were loaded for the '65 Twins with SS Zoilo Versalles stepping-up to the plate. A 2-1 fastball from the Reardon ended up in the left-field seats. The '65 Twins walked off the field with a one game lead in the series.
1965 Twins 6
1987 Twins 5 ('65 Twins Lead Series 2-1)
Game 4 Match-Up: Frank Viola vs. Camilo Pascual
The '65 Twins were fired up after the way that Game 3 had ended and this anger transfered onto the field in Game 4. The '65 team came out of the gates swinging for the fences and quickly found themselves with a five run lead. That lead would continue to swell throughout the game and it would become more than enough run support for Pascual. Tom Kelly's decision to start Viola on short rest could come back to haunt the '87 team.
1965 Twins 9
1987 Twins 4 ('65 Twins Lead Series 3-1)
Game 5 Match-Up: Bert Blyleven vs. Mudcat Grant
With their backs against the wall, the 1987 Twins rode their future Hall-of-Fame pitcher to the win in Game 5. Blyleven kept hitters off balance for the entire game and would pitch a complete game shutout. Homeruns by Puckett and Hrbek in the 5th and 6th innings would highlight the offense for the '87 squad. They had lived to play another day.
1987 Twins 3
1965 Twins 0 ('65 Twins Lead Series 3-2)
Game 6 Match-Up: Les Straker vs. Jim Kaat
The thought of going to a decisive seventh game was too much to handle for Jim Kaat and his teammates. A seventh game on the road in the Metrodome could almost guarantee a lose for the '65 team. A win in Game 6 would avoid any of the trouble of Game 7. Kaat was masterful for the second time in the series and provided an ora on the mound that his teammates could follow. The '65 Twin were moving on to the Championship Round to face the '91 Twins.
1965 Twins 8
1987 Twins 1 ('65 Twins Win Series 4-2)
Check back at the beginning of next week to see who will survive the gauntlet of the bracket and be crowned the Ultimate Twins Team Champion.

|Information about the 2 Series-based M2 is beginning to trickle out of BMW M's command center in Garching, including the news that its power may come from a new small-displacement in-line six-cylinder engine that just might do away with camshafts in favor of electronically operated valves. Expect this new M special in 2006.
|Responding to the credible threat posed by the V8 Audi S4, the next-generation M3, based on the E90 3 Series, will be V8 powered. It will be available--at least in Europe--in sedan, convertible, and sport-wagon configurations. A launch date in 2006 is anticipated for the coupe, with other models to follow in 2007. Since marketing plans call for E90 coupes and convertibles to form the basis of the new 4 Series, will BMW forsake the M3 icon nameplate and re-badge these as M4s?

the M3 will always be a 6 cylinder

what was the projected HP for the new M3? something like 400HP , so what are they using? the E39 M5 engine? that will be impressive seeing is how they used to use that same combo in racing.
