i was wondering when was the last time a pass for the lead occured in f1. i'm talking about a lap 2+, non-team orders on-track overtake for p1. if you want to harp about team orders, i don't want to hear it.
i've watched the 2009 and 2010 seasons many times, and i can't recall the lead changing without a pit stop. how many years has it been?

Hamilton on Webber at the Canadian grand prix 2010. However, Mark was on worn tyres.
I can also remember Belgium Grand Prix 2008 between Raikkonen and Hamilton on the final few laps. Hamilton took the lead at the first corner with light rain starting to fall on the track. Raikkonen re-took the lead but eventaully span out of the race.
7th April 2011, 1:01 at 1:01 amParticipant
Button on Hamilton at Istanbul 2010
Hamilton on Button at Istanbul 2010
(I think that counts, doesn't it?!)
Vettel on Webber at Istanbul 2010
(He was in the lead for a good two seconds before he went off, I reckon!)
Also, there are sometimes passes which are effectively for the lead of a race, even though the drivers involved might be lower down the order. One example of this which springs to mind is Hamilton on Webber at Hungary 09. Alonso was in front of them at the time, but he was on a different strategy and thus out of synch
7th April 2011, 5:17 at 5:17 amParticipant
ah yes, red bull hung webber out to dry with lousy tires and he settled in 5th. spa 08 was an incredible finish! ned, i'd certainly count ham/but.
7th April 2011, 9:24 at 9:24 am
Tyres or no, I think the Canadian example still counts. I was actually watching it again 2 days ago, I couldn't believe Red Bull thought Mark could go that long on worn tyres to minimise the time on the softs. Had they pitted him as soon as his lead started decreasing and given him hards, he could have blitzed back up to the lead again. he would have had to stop again, but maybe done another run and finished higher than his ailing team-mate. Conspiracies abound…
Anyway to the best of my memory the last passes were:
Hamilton on Webber, Canada 2010
Hamilton on Button, Turkey 2010
Button on Hamilton, Turkey 2010
Raikkonen on Sutil, Belgium 2009
Hamilton on Webber, Hungary 2009*
Hamilton and Raikkonen on each other, Belgium 2008
Hamilton on Piquet, Germany 2008
Hamilton on Kovalainen, Britain 2008**
Kubica on Heidfeld, Canada 2008**
Alonso on Massa, Europe 2007
* Though Alonso was in the lead at the time, it was widely acknowledged that he wasn't going to win the race as he had qualified on light fuel purely to get pole
** Various theories about team orders have been suggested for these. Given their relative race paces at the time, I'm giving both the benefit of the doubt
I think that list says a lot.
7th April 2011, 9:33 at 9:33 amParticipant
Icthyes, I definitely think you mean Raikkonen on Fisichella, not Sutil, at Spa '09!
It still galls that me that after their amazing battle for the lead, neither Hamilton nor Raikkonen actually won the '08 Belgian GP…
7th April 2011, 11:27 at 11:27 am
Haha, oops!
It galls me too Ned. I was very sympathetic to Alonso getting a penalty after Kubica had retired from Silverstone last year for precisely that reason. You could argue they still gained an advantage by not losing time behind another car, well why not just add 1 second on for every lap he would have been stuck behind them?
I can still remember Martin Brundle's quote, "The guy who was passed at the start and didn't overtake anyone won the race"
10 overtakes for the lead in the last 72 races…I still bet that's more than the "good old days"
7th April 2011, 12:57 at 12:57 pm
" I was very sympathetic to Alonso getting a penalty after Kubica had retired from Silverstone last year for precisely that reason"
I wasn't. Alonso and Ferrari were warned and although I believe Kubica pretty much forced Alo off track Alo could have just backed up. As for Spa, it was far from the best way for a race to be won but the rules are there. I didn't have a problem with the result just the way that the stewards seemed to go about it.
7th April 2011, 16:19 at 4:19 pmParticipant
Hamilton passed Massa on track for the lead in Turkey 2008 (he was on a different strategy and thus had a lighter car).
Also, I believe Hamilton passed Alonso and Buemi on track in Canada last year.
7th April 2011, 17:27 at 5:27 pmParticipant
Re: Belgium 2008 (never gets old does it?) – I feel a lot worse for Hamilton in this case than I do for either Alonso 2010 or Button 2011. For a start he actually followed the letter of the rules, he let Raikkonen back through (which the other two didn't, although admittedly the rules had changed) and I think he was forced off the track as surely as either of the others.
Add that he thouroughly deserved the win and it's not difficult to see why the conspiracy theorists were out in force.
7th April 2011, 18:58 at 6:58 pm
Thanks paul! I don't know about the Turkey example, I think it might mean for the eventual win, but strictly speaking that also counts.
7th April 2011, 21:18 at 9:18 pmParticipant
You might also want to add Alonso passing Vettel in the GP that has become known as Bore-rain 2010, on the grounds that Vettel's reliability problem was not race-ending (and didn't even require a pit stop!).
8th April 2011, 9:40 at 9:40 amParticipant
How come no-one's mentioned Alonso on Massa Germany 2010? That was an epic, ballsy pass for the lead right up there with Hakkinen on Schu at Spa 2000.
8th April 2011, 9:45 at 9:45 am
Yeh but that falls under the same reason I didn't include Button in China 2010 – it wasn't a proper pass.

September 22, 2000
By Charlotte Crystal
ive engineering faculty have won National Science Foundation research grants totaling more than $3 million for projects that seek to improve the capabilities of the computer industry -- from software to hardware to the Internet.
U.Va. computer scientists Jorg Liebeherr, Kevin Sullivan and Kevin Skadron and electrical engineers Ronald Williams and Barry W. Johnson are among the first grant recipients in the country whose work will be funded under a new strategic Information Technology Research initiative. The program, advocated by the White House and recently approved by Congress, supports fundamental research and innovative applications of information technology in science and engineering.
Liebeherr will receive more than $1.2 million, a quarter of a five-year, $5-million grant shared with John Chuang at the University of California at Berkeley, Edward Knightly at Rice University and Hui Zhang at Carnegie Mellon.
Liebeherr's project involves a revolutionary rethinking of how certain specialized services operate over the Internet. Existing methods of data transmission and storage are effective only for small private networks and cannot be expanded to accommodate use by millions of people around the world. Liebeherr's group will work to come up with new infrastructures for the Internet that will support the rapidly expanding demands for enhanced services.
Sullivan secured a grant of more than $1.3 million over three years, along with colleagues Mary Shaw at Carnegie Mellon, Barry Boehm at University of Southern California and David Notkin at University of Washington.
Sullivan's project involves transforming the way that software design is conceived and taught to prioritize the end user's needs, values and points of view. For a business, a software design that maximizes profits and minimizes costs may be the best design, while for a philanthropic foundation, a design that causes the least social trauma while having the greatest social benefit may be the best, for example.
Williams and Johnson won a three-year, $436,701 award. Their project combines education and research in an effort to improve the security of computer networks. They will identify the characteristics of effective security systems, develop a theoretical explanation for their effectiveness, and create a curriculum to teach the principles of effective network security to computer engineers.
Skadron received a two-year, $110,000 award. He is collaborating with colleagues David August and Douglas Clark, both at Princeton, on a project designed to speed up computer processing when the central processing unit (CPU) reaches a logical fork in the road. Such a fork occurs when a program encounters "if" statements, which offer different paths of resolution.
The researchers are approaching the problem simultaneously from two different directions, software and hardware. On one hand they are working to enhance the capabilities of a compiler, which translates software instructions into the 0s and 1s that computer hardware can understand. On the other hand, they want to eliminate processing bottlenecks that occur when hardware works on a complex problem while simple problems pile up behind it. These two approaches will be combined to seek new levels of cooperation between the software and hardware.
More than 1,400 research proposals were submitted to the Information Technology Research initiative. Approved were 62 large projects, averaging $1 million a year for three to five years, and another 148 smaller projects for $500,000 or less, for up to three years.

Pat McCann has been appointed as the new head coach of the ACT Academy of Sport boys' football program, moving into the role from his previous positions as head coach of Woden Valley in the ACT Premier League and game development manager with Capital Football.
McCann is looking to take similar philosophies he implemented at Woden Valley into the new role, which will focus on identifying and developing players with the under-17 world cup in mind.
''The basic role of ACTAS is to identify and prepare players for one, the AIS, two the U17 national team and three, to become professional players, so it's a real good challenge … certainly I'm looking forward to it,'' McCann said.
''ACTAS gives you fantastic access to everything from sports psychology, nutrition, sports science, strength and conditioning and sports medicine … so it's an awesome opportunity to have access to those types of resources and it's a big challenge to see what we can come out with at the other end.''
At Woden Valley, McCann took a young Premier League side and made it competitive with the top teams, causing a few upsets during the season, a trend he hopes will continue under the new leadership.
The club has signed Dean Ugrinic, the former head coach of Canberra Olympic, who stepped down mid-season last year for family reasons, to take over as head coach and technical director.
''That makes me pretty comfortable knowing that the club is in some good hands in terms of carrying on some of that work that we'd been doing over the last couple of years,'' McCann said.
In his new role, McCann is looking forward to developing closer ties with Capital Football as well as co-ordinating the interests of Football Federation Australia and the ACT Government.

Megyn Kelly Can't Find Time To Mention Catholic Opposition To GOP Policies
Blog ››› ››› JUSTIN BERRIER
On the April 25 edition of Fox News' America Live, host Megyn Kelly interviewed Catholic League president Bill Donohue to highlight opposition by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) to recent regulations by the Obama administration intended to expand access to reproductive health. Kelly introduced the segment by citing critics' claims that the regulations are a "war on religion" by the Obama administration -- a theme Fox has obsessively pushed -- and by promoting the claim that members of the USCCB are "furious over what they view as encroachment on religious liberty."
But the reproductive health regulation isn't the only policy that the Conference has recently criticized. On April 17, the USCCB issued a statement criticizing the GOP budget proposal over cuts that would hurt "poor and vulnerable people and programs that meet their basic needs and protect their lives and dignity." From the USCCB:
As Congress began working on the FY 2013 budget and spending bills this week, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) wrote several letters that repeated and reinforced the bishops' ongoing call to create a "circle of protection" around poor and vulnerable people and programs that meet their basic needs and protect their lives and dignity." The bishops' message calls on Congress and the Administration to protect essential help for poor families and vulnerable children and to put the poor first in budget priorities. The bishop's letters oppose measures that reduce resources for essential safety net programs.
In the letters, Bishops Stephen E. Blaire of Stockton, California, and Richard E. Pates of Des Moines, Iowa, chairmen of the Committees on Domestic Justice and Human Development and International Justice and Peace, respectively, urged Congress to resist proposed cuts in hunger and nutrition programs at home and abroad saying that "a just spending bill cannot rely on disproportionate cuts in essential services to poor and vulnerable persons."
The statement outlined several "moral criteria to guide these difficult budget decisions," including "whether it protects or threatens human life and dignity," the "needs of those who are hungry and homeless," and "ordinary workers and families who struggle to live in dignity in difficult economic times." According to Bishop Stephen E. Blaire, "The House-passed budget resolution fails to meet these moral criteria."
The statement further recommended that if cuts were needed, "savings should first be found in programs that target more affluent and powerful interests."
Moreover, nearly 60 Catholic leaders released a statement on April 13 saying that the GOP budget "is morally indefensible and betrays Catholic principles of solidarity, just taxation and a commitment to the common good."
But despite hosting a Catholic leader for a nearly six-minute segment on policy and a supposed Obama administration "war on religion," Kelly managed to ignore this criticism by Catholics of Republicans and balance the otherwise non-stop promotion of the proposal and its author, Rep. Paul Ryan.

The 'Ghost Rider' star's son Weston Cage and his wife say that they are expecting a baby boy and the action movie star was 'ecstatic' after learning of the baby news.
Nicolas Cage is excited to be a grandfather. The action movie star will be a grandfather for the first time after his son Weston Cage and his wife Danielle announced that they would be parents to a baby boy. The happy couple shared the news at the Kasem Cares Foundation's First Annual Fundraiser in Beverly Hills on Saturday night, February 22.
"It is a boy. Big boy, weighs a lot," Danielle told Closer Weekly. "I'm so excited! This wasn't necessarily planned, but it is completely welcomed. We're so happy to be giving birth eventually." When asked about the actor's reaction, Weston recalled, "He was ecstatic. His reaction was one of pure joy and bliss. Family is very important to us."
The 23-year-old Weston added, "My father and I actually speak everyday and Danielle and I texted him the ultrasound photograph which was actually confirmation of what we thought." The expectant mother continued saying that she and her husband wanted to have more children later. "We were both only children, so having multiples would be nice," she gushed.
Cage recently took part in a drama called "Joe", which was adapted from a 1991 novel with the same name by Larry Brown. Premiered at the 2013 Venice Film Festival, the movie tells the story of an ex-con who tried to be a role model to a 15-year-old boy.

Samsung Exec Praises Apple Ecosystem, Uses iPhone and iPad at Home

Young Sohn
Samsung exec shows Apple some love
Samsung and Apple definitely have an awkward relationship. Samsung is one of Apple's
top suppliers for components
in its popular iPad and iPhone mobile devices. However, Apple is currently embroiled in a bitter "thermonuclear war" with Samsung over claims that the South Korean electronics giant has
ripped of its patented designs and technology
Despite the fact that Apple is
looking to have numerous Samsung products banned from the market
, it was revealed that Samsung President and Chief Strategy Officer Young Sohn actually has quite a bit of love for Apple and its products in an interview with
MIT Technology Review
. Sohn praised Apple tie-ins like iCloud, stating, "If you look at the strengths of Apple, in a way it's not the product per se. It's that consumers like their ecosystem such as iCloud. I like that my family 6,000 miles away in Korea is able to see my schedule and see all of my contacts and photos."
Sohn went on to state that he not only uses a Mac at home, but he also has an iPhone and an iPad. Being that Sohn is a high-ranking executive at Samsung, he naturally also owns a Samsung Galaxy smartphone (Sohn joined Samsung in August, so we can only assume that he's sporting a
Galaxy S III
Puzzled by the admission of a person in his position using Apple products, interviewer Jessica Laber asked for an explanation. Sohn responded:
At work I'm using Samsung devices; Apple at home, mainly because all of my systems and files are done that way. That's sticky, you know? However, I did figure out how to sync all of my contacts and all of my schedules between the two different systems. You can do it. It's a bit of work, but it is possible.
We're sure that the top brass at Samsung aren't exactly thrilled that Sohn is extolling his love for Apple products in an interview, especially considering that the company makes comparable devices to all of the ones that he uses at home. But it's nice to see a high-level exec keeping an open mind about the competition.

You can understand the sentiment and you applaud Amar'e Stoudemire's bravado.
But even Knicks fans probably wished he used different language to explain how his team would be taking down the Heat this season.
This from the New York Post's Marc Berman:
...when rookie Josh Harrellson asked him in the locker room after the preseason win over the Nets where are they going to go hunting, Stoudemire said, "We're going to hunt in South Florida. You know what we're going to hunt down there, right? We're going to hunt LeBron and D-Wade . I got the rifle, man."
Reid Cherner has been with USA TODAY since 1982 and written Game On! since March 2008.
He has covered everything from high schools to horse racing to the college and the pros. The only thing he likes more than his own voice is the sound of readers telling him when he's right and wrong.
Michael Hiestand has covered sports media and marketing for USA TODAY, tackling the sports biz ranging from what's behind mega-events such as the Olympics and Super Bowl to the sometimes-hidden numbers behind the sports world's bottom line.

Almost 2 million neurons are lost every minute that blood flow to the brain is blocked during a stroke. It is our mission to develop an automated software suite that will provide triaging ER doctors with all of the information that they need to make quick decisions about treatment protocols.
QuikFlo Health Inc. is integrating the highly-successful results of industry leading research, the expertise of our clinical and scientific teams, and the talents of our software engineers to create a regulatory-compliant stroke triaging support tool.
The Bottleneck is Expertise
The medical professionals who see a stroke patient first, typically ER physicians, require assistance from a specialist – a neurologist, stroke neurologist or neuroradiologist – to make the right triage and treatment decisions. Those specialists are in short supply.
QuikFlo makes their expertise in reading CT brain images widespread, arming ER personnel with information that enables them to act immediately.
QUIKFLO IS F.A.S.t
Our Fast Accurate Stroke Triage (FAST) software is being designed to rapidly calculate the volume of brain already affected by an active stroke, and the volume that is likely to die without treatment.
Using an algorithm modeled from the analysis of many thousands of CT scans, FAST then identifies effected brain areas. Given the right information, physicians can quickly make the right choice; saving time, and saving brains.

Hotel Foreclosures Seen In '09 Outlook
Thursday December 11th, 2008 - 9:20AM
TAMPA, FL—A hotel foreclosure environment will exist in 2009 if negative RevPAR trends continue, according to the Plasencia Group and several analysts' declining RevPAR forecasts. Analysts who cover Marriott International and Starwood Hotels & Resorts have moved those firms' 2009 RevPAR forecasts from negative 5% to negative 8% and negative 5% to negative 10%, respectively, according to the Plasencia Group. Consequently, the investment advisory firm noted that a 10% drop in RevPAR can result in a 25% to 50% decline of many properties' net operating income. If that comes to fruition, it will result in many hotels defaulting on their debt, which will create the foreclosure environment.

Bet365 Accumulator Bonus
Posted by Mitko Atanasov in Jun, 2011
Bet365.com is the number one sportsbook for football betting online. With constant high odds, a great first deposit match up to £200 (more info here) and over 40,000 high quality live streams per season, this book keeps over 6 million customers happy all year long.
However that's not all. In order to give more to its players, bet365 has introduced the bet365 accumulator bonus!
What exactly is the bet365.com accumulator bonus?
It's quite simple. Place an accumulator of three or more games. If you manage to generate profit from you selections, your earnings will be adjusted with a bonus.
The table on your left shows you the number of games you need in order to get the certain percentage.
The accumulator must be made from games in the following domestic leagues: English Premier League, Spanish Primera Division, Italy Serie A, German Bundesliga 1, and UEFA Champions League.
The bonus applies to full cover bets as well (see glossary Full Cover Bets), so even if you miss a game or two but you generated earnings you will get it. What better way to boost your profit?
Bet365.com is one of the few sportsbooks with such offer and in addition to the high odds your earnings will be greater than anywhere else. Add to that the first deposit bonus, and the fact that you can watch almost any football game live online and you just can't find an alternative that will give you more.
The best365 accumulator bonus allows you to pick a set of lower odds games, for a greater profit. While 20% may not seem a lot for 6-folds, or 10% for 5-folds it definitely adds over time, if you keep choosing a good set of matches and bagging profit. Once you draw the line in the end of the season, you would see that thanks to bet365.com and the accumulator bonus, you've gained a significant amount of cash.
In addition, the live streaming service you will get for absolutely free, cannot be found anywhere else. Watch anything from Spanish Primera Division, to Wimbledon, the League Cup and much much more. In fact the number is around 40,000 events per season and growing each year.
To find more information on Bet365, visit our Bet365 Review page, and learn what payment methods the book accepts, withdrawal options, minimum bets, maximum winnings and more.
Don't settle for less. Give bet365 a chance and you would never want to go anywhere else!

Igor Stravinsky: The Rite of Spring
Most fans have the famous Columbia boxed set of Stravinsky conducting his own music. But those recordings mostly date from late in his life and aren't that exciting, for all their precision. By contrast, this disc brings together three recordings from the early 1940s, with Stravinsky conducting the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra of New York in The Rite of Spring and excerpts from Firebird and Petrushka. And they certainly are exciting, not least because you sense the virtuosos of their day still struggling to master incredibly demanding new music. Forget the recording quality and revel in the rhythmic pungency. (Naxos; out now)


text: You are right, no one has said that, if I knew how I would pull up the posts on Vick by members on this board calling him every name they can think of within the rules of the board and how he should never be allowed to play again... Over dogs, and I have three that are a much a part of my family as anyone. On the other side I don't hear that talk concerning Brent. As I said I could care less either way, it just looks bad for him to play here again, but as far as playing in the league? DC. So call it what you want cause I somehow missed that feeling of self righteousness I was supposed to feel in stating my opinion but the fact is what was said about Vick here is not being said about Brent. Furthermore this was not a discussion on that issue but on the suitability of Brent coming back here and I stated a valid reason for him not to, but some people go looking for the argument that is in their own head.

Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell, "Winter's Bone" was the film that nabbed that coveted Grand Jury Prize for Drama at Sundance 2010. It has its MOMA premiere on June 9th and TI assures you "Winter's Bone" has the grit and the grain that makes for the very best of American cinema. Full press release after the jump.
MoMA PREMIERES DEBRA GRANIK'S AWARD-WINNING INDEPENDENT FILM WINTER'S BONE ON JUNE 9
Winner of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival Grand Jury Prize for Drama Opens
Theatrically on June 11
MoMA Premiere: Debra Granik's Winter's Bone
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1
NEW YORK, May 14, 2010—The Museum of Modern Art will premiere a special preview
screening of Debra Granik's Winter's Bone (2010), winner of the Grand Jury Prize for
Drama and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, in
The Roy and Niuta Titus Theater 1 on Wednesday, June 9, at 8:30 p.m. The screening
will be introduced by writer-director Debra Granik. Winter's Bone begins its
nationwide roll-out on Friday, June 11.
Based on the 2006 novel by Daniel Woodrell, Winter's Bone is the story of
Ree Dolly (Jennifer Lawrence), a determined young woman and caregiver for
her mother and two younger siblings, who must locate her vanished father in
order to save the family home, which he put up as bond after his arrest for
drug-dealing. Set in a rural community in the Ozark Mountains, the local
industry is crystal meth, and allegiances demand that strong women run
interference between the law and their clan. The compelling—and often
surprising—action plays out against the harsh beauty of the Ozark landscape
and the poignancy of mountain ballads and plaintive fiddle music. Marked by
extraordinary performances and Granik's pitch-perfect direction, Winter's
Bone packs countless emotional upheavals into a journey across only a few
hardscrabble miles. The screening is organized by Laurence Kardish, Senior
Curator, Department of Film, The Museum of Modern Art.
Winter's Bone. 2010. USA. Directed by Debra Granik. Screenplay by Granik, Anne
Rosellini, based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell. With Jennifer Lawrence, John
Hawkes, Dale Dickey, Garret Dillahunt. Courtesy Roadside Attractions. 100 min.
Screening: Wednesday, June 9, 8:30 p.m. Introduced by Granik.

- February 2008 > Retirement Corner
The UTSaver supplemental retirement plans offer employees a powerful tool to save for retirement, and the sooner you get started, the more you will have when you need it mostat retirement!
What You Will Need
Most of us will need at least 70% of our pre-retirement incomeand probably much more than thatto live comfortably in retirement. That means if you are currently earning $4,000.00 a month, you would need at least $2,800.00 a month to maintain even the basics of your current lifestyle.
Will your mandatory retirement plan be sufficient to cover that monthly expense? If you are a member of the Teacher Retirement System, you can calculate your estimated retirement savings at http://www.trs.state.tx.us/global.jsp?page_id=/global/calculators. You can also view a Social Security calculator at http://www.ssa.gov/planners/calculators.htm.
Many people will find that their mandatory retirement saving vehicles will not be enough for their basic needs in retirement. That is where the power of the supplemental retirement plans come into play.
How You Can Get There
Unlike normal savings or bank accounts, the UTSaver 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan (DCP) offers you the opportunity to defer savings directly from your paycheck before you even pay taxes. With the UTSaver 403(b) Tax Sheltered Annuity (TSA), you can defer savings directly from your paycheck before or after you pay taxes.
The UTRetirement Programs offer six authorized providers, all of whom are nation-wide leaders. These six providers offer several hundred funds for you to use for your retirement savings.
When you contribute on a "pretax" basisbefore taxes are subtracted from your salaryyour taxable salary is lowered and your current tax bill is reduced. To illustrate, if youre in the 28% federal income tax bracket and your contribution for the year is $15,500, the actual cost from your pay would be $11,160, netting you a current annual tax savings of $4,340.00.
The Power of Compounding
Even if you cant contribute a large amount from your paycheck, starting early can go a long way to making up the difference. For example:
If you cant afford to save $15,500.00 a year, then start smaller. If you saved just $25.00 a month, but increased your deferral by an additional $25.00 per month with each annual raise, after 30 years with a 6% average annual return you could save over $250,000.00!
If you can contribute the maximum, starting early can also go a long way. For example:
Say youre 40 years old and you want to retire at age 62 but currently have no deferred savings in your UTSaver TSA or DCP plan. If you contribute $15,500.00 for 22 years and earn an average annual return of 6% during this time, by age 62 your accumulation would be worth over $695,000.00. During these 22 years, you would contribute $341,000.00 but would accumulate twice as much.
Please note these examples are used as an illustration only. Actual results will vary based on your personal tax bracket and financial circumstances.
Its Never Too Late
It is never too late to start contributing to a UTSaver TSA or UTSaver DCP account. The sooner you start, however, the more time you will have to let the power of compounding work for you!

Below, a recap of stories posted today to the Search
Engine Watch Blog, along with other items we've spotted but not blogged
From The SEW Blog…
- Search Influenced $15.2 Billion In Consumer Electronics Spending Through First Half
As the latest in an ongoing series of studies that capture the evolving and complex nature of consumer behavior today, Yahoo yesterday released findings from a joint study conducted with the Consumer Electronics Association. The study was fielded in June of this year and surveyed more than 2,000 U.S. adults who were pre-qualified as intending to make consumer electronics (CE) purchases. The study looked at five CE categories: cell phones, computers, digital cameras, MP3 players and televisions. Below are the top-level findings….
- Google Removes Dynamic Parameter Clause From Webmaster Guidelines
The Google Blog notes that they have updated their webmaster guidelines to be more up to date with their crawling and indexing technology. Since Google now is able to crawl and index URLs with parameters, i.e. dynamic URLs – they have removed the line that reads "Don't use "&id=" as a parameter in your URLs, as we don't include these pages in our index." Google still recommends keeping those parameters down to a minimum and calls rewriting dynamic URLs into user-friendly versions, "a good practice."…
- Customized Search From Optevi And Microsoft
In writing about the launch of Google Custom Search Engine, I neglected to mention a couple of other companies doing similar things. The first one omitted from my post was consumer-focused customized search engine Optevi. Optevi allows users to choose from or create "bundles" of sites that influence search results….
- Face Found On Google Maps
Philipp Lenssen spotted on Digg a link to Google Maps that shows a face outline in the earth. The coordinated for the Google Maps face is at 50° 0'38.20″N 110° 6'48.32″W. Pretty convincing, eh? It just amazes me how people find these things. This location is in Canada, near Calgary and Montana – so if you are not too far, drive up there, right off highway 1 (it appears) and let us know….
- Google Maps Adds "More Info" Link & Expand/Collapse Result
Philipp Lenssen reports that Google Maps has added a "more info" link on the Google Maps results. If you do a search for my company, on the left hand side you will see a "more info" link. If you click that link, a window is overlaid over the map with more details on that business including address, phone, directions, overview, details and web pages related to the company. You can also then click on the windows-like collapse icon on the top right, near the close icon of that window to collapse the details and see more of the map….
- Microsoft Removes Belgian Content Without Court Order
The Register writes Microsoft dodges court in Belgian copyright battle where they say Microsoft decided not to go to court over Belgian newspapers request for them to remove their content from their index. Google was ordered to remove the content by a Belgian court and then later lost an appeal on the same case. Microsoft simply did not want to fight them and decided to just grant the wishes of the cease and desist letter sent to them….
- Next Up For Sale, Digg.com
Techcrunch reports that Digg.com is looking to sell the property for $150 million. Digg's recent discussions to sell included negotiations with News Corp, and some other non-disclosed bidders. The word is that Digg wants "at least $150 million" but no one is willing to pay that much to them….
- Yahoo Adds NOODP Support & Weather Report Update
The Yahoo Search Blog announced that Yahoo has finally added support for the NOODP META tag. You can deploy this two ways; META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOODP" (stops MSN, Google and Yahoo from using ODP directory) or META NAME="Slurp" CONTENT="NOODP (stops just Yahoo from using ODP directory) I reported back on October 11th that this was coming and Danny explains why NOODP tag support is not enough, we need it to support a method to tell Yahoo not to use the Yahoo Directory title and description as well….
- Amazon Turns Down Google's Request For Information On Book Search
Business Week reports that Amazon has turned down Google's request for information to help in it book scanning lawsuit. Amazon responded to Google's subpoena saying, that it would make Amazon's trade secrets public and it was "overly broad and unduly burdensome" on Amazon. In short, it is Amazon's way of telling Google to stop looking over their shoulder and work it out yourself….
- New Toolbar and Bookmarks from Yahoo
Yahoo has applied a major facelift to its toolbar and bookmarking feature, creating a slick new visual interface and tightly integrating your own bookmarks into search. More on the new service in today's SearchDay article, Yahoo Updates Toolbar and Bookmarks….

Golden Bear belongs with golden oldies
By Ian O'Connor, Gannett News Service
AUGUSTA, Ga. Arnold Palmer was done with his par
and needed to seek refuge from the close Georgia sun. He walked across the 14th
green, ducked under the low gallery ropes, and sunk into one of those funny
little chairs Masters patrons plant in the soil with the same purpose and entitlement
of astronauts planting flags on the moon.
Jack Nicklaus was busy lining up his birdie putt when he
suddenly pulled away, swiveled his head, and searched for the source of commotion.
Finally he found the Palmer sitting with the crowd. Squinting through the haze,
Nicklaus could hardly believe what he was seeing.
He looked at his son and caddie, Jack II. He looked back
at Palmer, who tipped his white cap in salute.
Every man, woman and child surrounding the green broke
into laughter, hoping the Golden Bear would join in all this Golden Oldie fun.
Nicklaus wouldn't even give them a smile.
"We're put on now as a sideshow," he said under the old
clubhouse oak, a half hour after missing the cut here for the second time since
"I hope they don't do that again."
Nicklaus checked out of The Masters a grumpy old man. Even
at 61, playing on a ceramic hip, Nicklaus burned to cover 72 holes, to join
the weekend chase of the magically mighty Chris DiMarco and that pesky little
Tiger on his tail.
But his 4-over total of 148 represented two degrees of
woe. Nicklaus felt dishonored, demeaned, de-everythinged by the Augusta National
elders who, for the second straight year, reintroduced him to Palmer and Gary
Player and told them to have a blast with their 13 green jackets.
Palmer is 71 and has missed 18 straight Masters cuts. Player
is 65 and has missed 13 cuts his his last 19 attempts.
Three years after nearly winning his seventh Masters title,
Nicklaus still believes he can win this major. Which means he still believes
he deserves better than star billing in this annual thanks-for-the-memories
Only Nicklaus is wrong. As wrong as his game. Nicklaus
belongs with Palmer and Player because he's become precisely what he swore he'd
never be: a ceremonial golfer with no chance to contend.
"My time is basically past," he said yesterday. These were
among Nicklaus' other concessions: "It's been seven or eight years since I was
really able to take a good golf swing....I've lost my nerve....I cluttered up
the field....These things happen when you get older.
"I played as good as I can play and couldn't make the cut,
so that's not very good. It doesn't say much for my golf game, and doesn't say
much for what my abilities are."
Nicklaus should study his own words on the flight out of
town. When the greats maximize their skills and still land a few hundred yards
out of the money, it's time to surrender the cause.
To borrow from Bobby Jones' take on a young Nicklaus, Tiger
is playing a game with which the Bear is not familiar. That much was clear last
summer at Pebble, St. Andrew's and the PGA.
There's no shame in that. At 80, Nicklaus will still be
able to beat 99% of all Americans half his age.
He should play as many Masters as his heart desires. But
when he plays them, he should do so with the bogey-and-wave crowd, with the
aging champs here to entertain from the deep end of the traps.
"We see each other all the time," Nicklaus complained.
"I always felt when you come to The Masters, you get all the young kids and
amateurs and they traditionally play with Masters champions. When I was a young
kid I really looked forward to that. To take Arnold and Gary and I out of that
pool, I think it disappoints a lot of kids who come here."
Nicklaus said he's forever receiving notes from young players
wanting to play with him. James Driscoll mailed in such a plea. Mikko Ilonen
solicited Nicklaus in person.
"It's not fair to the kids," the Bear said.
He meant to say it wasn't fair to him.
"We've played 7,000 rounds together," he said of Palmer
and Player. "I hope they don't do that every year. I know Gary feels the same
way. I haven't asked Arnold."
Actually, Player seemed perfectly content with the threesome.
"Jack and Arnie are great to play with," he said.
Palmer agreed. When asked if it gets old playing with Nicklaus
and Player, he said: "They are old, but it doesn't get old."
He got a good laugh on that one. In fact, Palmer willingly
engaged in showtime all day.
While Nicklaus and Player putted at 14, Palmer chatted
with the fans seated next to him. "I've been coming here a long time," said
one. "I've been playing here 47 years," said Palmer.
More laughs while Nicklaus finished up. Over on the 17th
green, while Nicklaus waited to take a vain stab at par, Palmer buried his right
hand in his slacks and fumbled for a ballmarker long enough to inspire a nervous
gallery moan.
Walking up the 18th fairway, Palmer pumped his fist to
adoring fans. "Thanks for everything, Arnie," they shouted.
Nicklaus silently stalked his ball in the fairway and stayed
clear of the ropes.
"I've been waiting all my life to see you," a woman said
to Palmer.
"So have I," the King said in return.
"You're so handsome," another woman said when the round
was complete.
"You're not so bad yourself," Palmer answered.
He really should take Byron Nelson's place now and smack
ceremonial tee shots with Sam Snead on Thursday morn. Palmer exited at 14-over.
He hasn't shot a round of par or better here in 16 years.
Nicklaus? After dropping a 25-foot birdie putt from the
fringe at 18, he said he'd likely be back. He also said he'd speak to tournament
officials in the hope of preventing another Sunshine Boys sequel.
"We're three guys who couldn't be closer friends," Nicklaus
maintained. Friendship apparently has its bounds.
Next year, Augusta's elders should do Nicklaus one small
favor. Trade Palmer for Tom Watson or Seve Ballesteros. Player can still hang
with Nicklaus; he finished one shot behind him.
Nicklaus shouldn't expect much more than that. If he does,
someone should remind him of a statement he made on the eve of the tournament,
when the Nicklaus-Palmer-Player pairing was presented as evidence that the Masters
had written off the Bear.
"If they haven't written us off," Nicklaus said, "there's
something wrong with them."

The Emerald Isle
de Michael Trower-Carlucci
Acerca del libro
These are photos taken on a trip to Ireland that I made in the summer of 2006. There is very little text and the book is mainly photos of everything I saw while I was there. It was a two week journey on the road, non-stop photography. I hope that after looking at it, you will feel as if you have been there and perhaps plan a trip yourself. It is indeed a magical island.
This book has close to a 800 photographs.
You can purchase some of the photos from my website. www.michaelcarlucci.com.

Friends of the Hellenic Institute: Newsletter 2005
Note from the Director
15 December 2005
Dear Friend,
With the approach of Christmas and the New Year I should like to take the opportunity to thank all those who contributed in making 2004-5 a successful year for the Hellenic Institute and our students. We are particularly grateful to our sponsors, the Greek Ministries of Culture and Education, the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, The A.G. Leventis Foundation, The Hellenic Foundation, the Orthodox Cultural Association and the Friends of the Hellenic Institute.
2004-5 was a mixed year, with some good and some bad news. The good news was the establishment of a lectureship in Byzantine Literature and Greek Palaeography thanks to the generosity of the A.G. Leventis Foundation and the Hellenic Foundation. The bad news is the decision of the College to abrogate all MAs which do not secure at least eight students annually. As a result of this, if I may say, unenlightened approach, they have removed our MA in Hellenic Studies, which gave a diachronic view of Greek history, tradition and culture from the pre-historic times to the nineteenth century, to my knowledge a unique MA degree course in Britain.
Such decisions, which admittedly do not affect Hellenic Studies alone, raise a serious question on the judgement of those responsible for taking them, as to the essence of liberal studies and their relevance to the present, including the awareness of how our Greco-Roman Christian tradition has shaped our own way of thinking. For as Gilbert Murray wrote, 'A society without history cannot understand what is doing; and history without scholarship cannot understand itself. For scholarship is just the understanding, the intimate understanding with imagination and love, of the noblest things of the past'. I do hope that the College will re-consider their decision.
Since December 1998 when I assumed the directorship of The Hellenic Institute, much has been accomplished thanks to the dedication and enthusiasm of our staff, colleagues and above all our students, with the support of our Friends and sponsors. Much remains to be done. May I take the opportunity to thank Dr Jonathan Harris, who until last February acted as Secretary of the Friends since the founding of the Friends in 1999. His help has been invaluable. I wish him every success with his new position as Director of Graduate Studies in the History Department.
I do hope that you will be able to join us in some of our forthcoming events and I look forward to seeing you there.
With best wishes for Christmas and the New Year,
J. Chrysostomides
About the Hellenic Institute
Established in 1993, The Hellenic Institute at Royal Holloway, University of London is a research institute, linked to the Departments of Classics and History. It brings together two areas of teaching and research in which Royal Holloway has long excelled: the study of the language, literature and history of Ancient Greece, and Byzantine Studies. It aims to consolidate these strengths and to extend them by promoting further the study of Hellenic tradition across the centuries, from the archaic and classical Greece, through the Hellenistic times, Byzantium and the Post-Byzantine period, to the modern world. The Hellenic Institute hosts a number of research projects and organises seminars, lectures and conferences addressed to students, scholars and to a wider public.
The Hellenic Institute also seeks to bring together at a national and international level all those who share its interests. It collaborates closely with other institutions in the University of London and The Hellenic Centre, a cultural meeting place for the Greek community in London. It has links with Universities overseas, especially in Greece and Cyprus.
As part of its teaching activities The Hellenic Institute runs the taught MA degree course in Late Antique and Byzantine Studies. It also offers supervision to doctoral students.

The lecture was, held at the College Campus, Art's Building, in the presence of H.E. the High Commissioner for the Republic of Cyprus in Britain, Mr Petros Eutychiou, Revd. Aimilianos Papadakis, Mrs Edmée Leventis, Ambassador of Cyprus to UNESCO, and Dr Angeliki Deligianni Educational Counsellor of the Greek Embassy in London.

16 November 2005: Greek Palaeography Workshop
A Workshop designed for University of London students who are pursuing research in Classical and Byzantine texts preserved in Greek manuscripts, was organised for a third year by Dr Charalambos Dendrinos at The Warburg Institute in London. The workshop presented research methods and techniques used in tracing published texts, manuscripts and scribes. This was an opportunity for students to familiarize themselves with Warburg Institute's superb collections of printed books and electronic resources, including the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae, a CD-ROM containing a vast amount of Greek texts, from early papyri fragments to Byzantine authors of the fifteenth century. The workshop was attended by 11 MA and research students from Royal Holloway, King's College, University College and the Courtauld Institute of Arts.
Studentships and bursaries in Hellenic Studies to be offered in 2006-7
The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomaios I Studentship, established by the Orthodox Cultural Association of Athens in honour of his All-Holiness the Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomaios I, thanks to the generous donation by Mrs Angeliki Frangos in memory of her late mother Stela N. Frangos.

Both studentships, open to full-time UK/EU students, cover the tuition fees for one year. They are awarded on the basis of proven academic achievement. They can be applied for by those who wish to take the MA in Late Antique and Byzantine Studies or by students who pursue MPhil/PhD research in Byzantine Studies and Hellenic Studies at the Institute. Candidates should meet the normal entrance requirements of the University of London. The closing date for submission of applications is 31 August 2006.
George of Cyprus Bursaries in Hellenic Studies, sponsored by the Ministry of Education and Culture of the Republic of Cyprus, to be offered to part-time and full-time students who pursue their studies at the Institute. The bursaries were established in honour of George of Cyprus. Born in Cyprus, in 1240, then under Latin occupation, at the age of seventeen he fled to Nicaea, the Byzantine Empire in exile, in order to pursue his studies. After the restoration of the Byzantine Empire in 1261, he settled in Constantinople, where he completed his higher education and subsequently taught the eminent scholars of the next generation. One aspect of his personality was his tenacity and dedication to his studies, despite enormous adversities.

'The International Congress of Byzantine Studies, organised by the Association Internationale des Études Byzantines every four years, has traditionally had an overall theme to link the various discussions. The theme of the 21 International Congress … is "Display". This will be explored under eight headings which highlight different aspects of the theme and different disciplines within Byzantine Studies. In the process many of the possible responses to Byzantium will be examined. The most direct response is to ask whether there was a real Byzantium or only an imaginary modern construct. But the aim is to make this simple dichotomy more complex, and assess first what strategies the people of Byzantium used to express their thoughts, ideals, fears and beliefs, and then how these have been interpreted through various modern discourses' (cited together with details on the programme, registration and other information at: http://www.byzantinecongress.org.uk/).
22-23 August 2006: Exhibition of the Greek Manuscripts Collection at Lambeth Palace Library, organised jointly by the Hellenic Institute and Lambeth Palace Library on the occasion of the 21st International Congress of Byzantine Studies. Admission by invitation only.
