New research into the health benefits of beetroot juice suggests it's not only athletes who can benefit from its performance enhancing properties - its physiological effects could help the elderly or people with heart or lung-conditions enjoy more active lives.
Beetroot juice has been one of the biggest stories in sports science over the past year after researchers at the University of Exeter found it enables people to exercise for up to 16% longer. The startling results have led to a host of athletes - from Premiership footballers to professional cyclists - looking into its potential uses.
A new piece of research by the university in conjunction with the Peninsula College of Medicine and Dentistry has revealed the physiological effects of drinking beetroot juice could help a much wider range of people.
In the latest study, published in the Journal of Applied Physiology, the researchers looked at low intensity exercise and found that test subjects used less oxygen while walking - effectively reducing the effort it took to walk by 12%.
Katie Lansley, a PhD student from the university's Sport and Health Sciences department and lead author of the study, said: "As you get older, or if you have conditions which affect your cardiovascular system, the amount of oxygen you can take in to use during exercise drops considerably. This means that, for some people, even simple tasks like walking may not be manageable.
"What we've seen in this study is that beetroot juice can actually reduce the amount of oxygen you need to perform even low-intensity exercise. In principle, this effect could help people do things they wouldn't otherwise be able to do."
When consumed, beetroot juice has two marked physiological effects. Firstly, it widens blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and allowing more blood flow. Secondly, it affects muscle tissue, reducing the amount of oxygen needed by muscles during activity. The combined effects have a significant impact on performing physical tasks, whether it involves low-intensity or high-intensity effort.
So far the research on the impacts of beetroot juice has only been carried out on younger people who are in good health, but the researchers believe there is no reason why the effects of beetroot juice wouldn't help others.
"While we haven't yet measured the effects on the elderly or those with heart or lung conditions, there is the potential for a positive impact in these populations which we intend to go on and investigate further," Katie Lansley added.
Beetroot juice contains high levels of nitrate. The latest study has proved that this is the key ingredient which causes the increase in performance, rather than any other component of the beetroot juice.
Professor Andy Jones, the senior scientist on the study and a pioneer of research into beetroot juice, said: "In this study, we were able to use - for the first time - both normal beetroot juice and beetroot juice with the nitrate filtered out. Test subjects didn't know which one they were getting. The drinks both looked and tasted exactly the same. Each time the normal, nitrate-rich juice was used, we saw a marked improvement in performance which wasn't there with the filtered juice - so we know the nitrate is the active ingredient."

text: The Wright Stuff and Dancing on Ice are Ofcom's most complained about shows of 2011 But The X Factor gets the most separate episodes into the media regulator's top 100 list Comments Written By 12:32 PM, 16 December 2011 Matthew Wright's decision to do a light-hearted impression while discussing the murder of a teenager on his Channel 5 magazine show, The Wright Stuff, attracted the most complaints to Ofcom of any show this year, according to figures released by the media regulator. The programme, which was broadcast on 6 December, saw 2,220 contact Ofcom about the presenter's attempt to mimic TV detective Taggart while introducing a news item about the death of Liam Aitchison on the Western Isles of Scotland. With significantly fewer complaints, in second place on the list is ITV's Dancing on Ice, which incurred the wrath of 784 people concerned about a February broadcast in which Jason Gardiner's comments about a contestant's dance and later comments to head coach Karen Barber were deemed offensive. Ofcom received another significant number of complaints about a different edition of the programme broadcast in January - on that occasion, 253 people contacted the media regulator, again concerning remarks by Gardiner they felt were offensive. And despite garnering more than 31,000 complaints direct to the BBC, Jeremy Clarkson's rant on The One Show about shooting public sector workers who strike only prompted 763 complaints to Ofcom - putting it third in their list. The most complained about programme overall in the top 100 was Simon Cowell's talent show behemoth, The X Factor. In total, 15 separate editions of the ITV1 show attracted over 750 complaints in total throughout the year. More than 200 of these concerns specifically related to the 2011 wild child Frankie Cocozza, who attracted criticism for swearing on air during a results show and glamorising the use of alcohol. Other programmes to make it into the Ofcom top ten were Sri Lanka's Killing Fields on Channel 4, which 176 people complained contained misleading material, and Charlie Brooker's Black Mirror: The National Anthem, which 145 people felt was inappropriate and offensive.

The new $100 bill will release on Tuesday after years of delays.
The new $100 bill features several new security features that make it easier for people to authenticate it and harder for counterfeiters to copy it. The new bill has color changing ink that turns from copper to green when it is tilted. This ink can be found on a "100" on the back of the bill, a "100" on the front of the bill and on a inkwell located on the front of the bill. There is also a blue, 3-D security ribbon that runs down the note. Benjiman Franklin will look the same one the new currency as he does the old, but he will no longer be encased in an oval border, reports CNN Money.
The Federal Reserve had to destroy 30 million of the newly-printed $100 bills in August after a printing error left them with too much ink that would move around the note. Some of the new bills could also be worth more than their face value to collectors due to having unique serial numbers.

For any module M over an associative ring R, let σ[M] denote the smallest Grothendieck subcatgory of Mod-R containing M. If σ[M] is locally finitely presented the notions of purity and pure injectivity are defined in σ[M]. In this paper the relationship between these notions and the corresponding notions defined in Mod-R are investigated, and the connection between the resulting Ziegler spectra is discussed. An example is given of an M such that σ[M] does not contain any nonzero finitely presented objects.

Please note: President Obama will NOT pay your utility bills.
News reports say thousands are falling for a multistate identity theft scam in which the scammers secure private records by claiming the Obama administration will pay utility bills.
"The criminals have been marching across the country, making their way from state to state, persuading victims that a special federal government assistance program -- sometimes described as a bailout authorized by President Barack Obama's administration -- is available to pay their utility bills," MSNBC reported.
The network said, "Victims are given bank account and routing numbers to use when paying their bills online, but only after they 'register' by surrendering their Social Security numbers and other personal information."
MSNBC reported that 2,000 residents in Tampa fell for the fake offer.
Yahoo! News reports some background:
The scheme was first reported in May, when Dallas-based Atmos Energy warned its 3 million customers in 12 states that scammers had been asking for Social Security numbers to enroll in the faux federal program.
According to the pitch -- distributed via email, Facebook, text message, phone and, in some cases, door-to-door sales -- the government would pay a month of energy costs through credits offered by the Obama administration.
PSE&G, the New Jersey gas and electric delivery utility, issued a similar warning the same month. According to MSNBC, there were 10,000 reported victims in New Jersey in recent weeks, and thousands more in North Carolina, Indiana and Pennsylvania.
The offer even includes a fake Federal Reserve bank routing number for those who enroll, and solicits "success stories" to pass along to friends online.

CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — The killing of a Chilean diplomat's teenage daughter by police is reigniting concerns among Venezuelans about excessive force by officers and their alleged involvement in rampant violent crime.
Nineteen-year-old Karen Berendique was riding in a vehicle with her older brother and another young man when police at a checkpoint opened fire early Saturday in the western city of Maracaibo, said her father Fernando Berendique, Chile's honorary consul in the city.
He said they ignored a police command to stop, fearing the officers might be robbers.
Twelve police officers were detained in the case and are under investigation, the Justice Ministry said.
Radio program host Beatriz Navas said on Sunday that many Venezuelans are concerned about police abuse and officers' involvement in violent crime.
"I wouldn't have stopped and they would have killed me, too," Navas said. She also criticized the widespread police practice in Venezuela of setting up such checkpoints, saying police should instead be investigating crimes.
President Hugo Chavez's government expressed condolences to the family as well as to the Chilean government, and pledged that those responsible will face justice.
"We reject and repudiate this type of bad police practice," judicial police chief Jose Humberto Ramirez said.
He said the officers had been in the area to investigate car thefts and hadn't set up cones as police typically do for checkpoints. Ramirez called the shooting inexplicable.
"They'll have to respond in criminal court," Ramirez said.
Opposition politicians also joined in the criticism.
"They shoot first and aim later," Ricardo Sanchez, an opposition lawmaker, said at a news conference Sunday.
Berendique's father told reporters on Saturday that his daughter had been on the way to see some friends when she was shot.
"They left and four blocks from my house they intercepted them," Berendique said. "They told them to stop. The kids got nervous because it was night. The least that could have been expected is that the police would have turned on the lights (of their patrol cars). They didn't do it and they fired."
"The first impact was in the windshield, while my son was desperately backing up," Berendique added. "Seeing that Karen was unconscious and wounded, he stopped. The officers identified themselves and said they fired because they didn't stop the car."
Police said the university student suffered three bullet wounds, including one to the head.
Berendique suggested that his daughter's killing is symptomatic of bigger problems in the country.
"Crime is killing us," Berendique said. "I don't think Venezuela deserves this."
Violent crime is widespread in the country, which has one of the highest murder rates in Latin America.
Venezuelans have long been distrustful of the police. The government began building a new national police force in 2009, saying it was part of an effort to professionalize the police.
Justice Ministry Tareck El Aissami said at the time in 2009 that the authorities believed police were involved in 15 to 20 percent of all crimes, particularly kidnapping and murder.
The Justice Ministry said in a statement on Saturday that the government will "continue promoting the radical transformation of police forces, deepening the implementation of the new police model: human and professional."

That's a question many of us are probably asking ourselves. With obesity and other weight-related problems being the talk of the day, reducing the calories we eat seems to be the proper way. We've got cooks saying that we should eat a high-fiber diet, doctors who say that we should skip the salt, while there's that advice from a friend of mine who said I should eat my meals longer (so I can skip on the snacks later).
Health buffs believe that eating drawn-out meals increases the level of satiety in our bodies, reducing our need to reach for that pack of chips in the cabinet. When people eat longer, the body gets more time to digest the food, sending signals to the brain saying that the body is full already. It is a different story when you eat quickly, since the body does not have enough time to send satiety signals to the brain before your stomach becomes bloated.
Although the reasoning does have some proof, there are researchers who are saying that it may not be so. You do become satisfied better when you eat food longer, but that doesn't stop you from craving for more. According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition, there's not much difference when it comes to eating snacks between people who eat longer compared to those who ate their food rather quickly. Sure, the slower eating parties feel full much better, but the moment they are presented with treats such as apple cake, chocolate-covered marshmallows, peanuts, chips, and waffles, they just could not resist it.
The study just shows how some diet plans do not really go as you expect. The theory is sound, there is no doubt about it, but sometimes, putting it in action produces unexpected results. So how should we put this study, then? Maybe the age-old advice of nutritionists should come to mind: eat moderately.

From the beginning, life has been about survival and reproducing before dying. Altruism evolves where there is a greater possibility of individual life or perpetuation of a species by living within groups. Schools of fish sacrifice a few when a predator is around, but the probability of a single fish, itself, dying, lessons. Obviously, humans coming together has great rewards for shared knowledge, shared resources, better access to food and shelter, protection if attacked. availability of health care for the long term or in emergencies and the list goes on from there. We made laws as we came together to protect the safety and welfare of each person by protecting the society at large and to govern the production and distribution of food and resources. It seems like this should be sufficient to protect altruism as a whole. So why did every culture of man, create a Supreme Being, a god or gods?
Definitely man (with his ever questioning mind) sought to explain from where he came: to understand why he existed. Those questions accompanied an evolving brain that allowed him to ask questions and seek the answers. The ability for an organism to learn is related to the benefit of learning in its evolutionary past and the complexity or variability of its environment which requires the ability to change and gain knowledge, especially in species with long life spans. When I think of the universe, despite myself, I think from where did it come? , and if I think of an answer to that, then my mind questions where did what it came from, come from and that can go on forever. The same applies to God. If God created the universe and man, where did God come from? So although giving explanation in the short term, Man was created by God or gods, it does not answer from where God came from or why. Yet, still, every culture had a god or gods and a story of how mankind and the earth came to be.
Along with the stories of creation and the manifestation of a god(s), came the litany of behavioral rules upon which society was to conduct itself as an individual and as a whole and how to appropriately honor the god that created them. The idea of a sacrifice and giving to the unseen god goods and lives honored the gods by giving to that deity something that was of extreme value to the individual,culture or society. I imagine that since life itself was such a mystery, thinking that a god created us, made us feel that same god could kill us or provide us with feast or famine. I can see man beginning to deeply revere this unseen source of life. With that worshiping fever, came the ability to use religion and gods to control mans behavior and to control groups of people more easily.
Creating a god or gods gave man a sense of beginning, gave enormous power to the god or gods, and created a hell where people who did not obey the laws of that god or gods ended up after death. It relieved man's fear of death by creating an after death life which was not final. The general laws of every religion are basically the same: do not kill, do not steal, do not lie, do not commit adultery, do not bear false witness and so on. Those are the same laws which man needed to survive and function as a group. As such, why did we create gods to provide those laws? So then comes the question: if mankind had not created religion or a god(s), would he have evolved in the same way he has in the last two thousand years and more ago? Did mankind need a god and religious laws to survive? Or did mankind create gods to explain his existence, and in doing so gave the creator great power which awed man so much that he worshiped this god and obeyed rules as well as obeying whomever had special access to that god?
Definitely, man seems very susceptible to the thought of religion, which gives religion tremendous power over large groups of people. But why is it so powerful? As such, atheists astound me. Ignoring thousands of years of religion and the power it has had over mankind, they are capable of simply obeying laws because of their altruistic advantage. When a person thinks of morality, religion comes to mind as the source and power of it. Yet to an atheist, morality means a code of behavior most conducive to survival, or does it? If man was capable of evolving without the creation of gods, why did he create them? If life is just about survival would not killing, stealing,cheating, etc in many cases be about personal survival and, therefore,, valid? Does religion exist in the back of everyone's mind? Does it hold the highest power of morality or does man himself? If one could have millions of dollars by killing one man and know he could easily get away with it, what would be stopping him? Is human morality enough, or does an eternal hell need to exist?
There remains one other answer: man did not create a god but has been simply trying to describe and understand something which exists that he can sense, but not yet understand or explain.

Lindsay Lohan's Banging Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Here's Lindsay Lohan and Floyd Mayweather Jr. hosting a Halloween party at Foxwoods Resort Casino last night where either he's getting his money's worth or they're dating now. And if you're thinking to yourself, "Wait a minute, doesn't Floyd Mayweather Jr. have a well-documented history of domestic violence," yes. Yes, he does. So on that note, let me be the first to congratulate Lindsay on growing as a person by finding a relationship that's healthier than the one she has with her mom. I didn't think she had it in her.

Couples counseling can include pre-marriage counseling where the couple will be given a clear Biblical understanding of God's design for marriage. Topics that will be covered include communication, faith, family issues, finances, and the physical. Also included is the use of the temperament profile which gives couples the basic reasons why they do what they do.
Andrew Johnston, MDiv, MA, LPCI

My approach to couples counseling combines three of the most popular current methods of relationship counseling. All three begin with simple techniques and education in order to help couples decrease tension and bitterness, if it exists. We then, in a non-judgmental environment, explore ways to develop a deeper bond of trust. When couples can deeply trust one another, it becomes much easier to develop habits of love and appreciation in the relationship.

Consumers Energy to Expand Energy Efficiency Programs For MI Agribusiness
Date Posted: December 30, 2013
Lansing—Consumers Energy agreed last week to expand access to energy efficiency programs for Michigan's agribusinesses.
The decision comes in response to a request by the Michigan Agri-Business Association (MABA) for the company to address the needs of agribusiness operations in its Energy Optimization Plan.
"Agriculture is one of the biggest drivers of Michigan's economy, and controlling our electricity costs is critical to the competitiveness of Michigan's agribusinesses," said Jim Byrum, president of MABA.
"Implementing more energy efficiency measures is one of the most cost-effective ways that agribusinesses can reduce their electricity bills.
"Energy efficiency programs that specifically address the needs of agribusinesses will allow this sector to take advantage of new opportunities, and continue creating jobs and economic growth in Michigan."
The Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC) approved the settlement with Consumers Energy that includes specific energy optimization initiatives for agribusinesses.
These initiatives include economic incentives for the installation of variable frequency drives on agricultural fans and pumps, high efficiency grain dryers and grain storage temperature and moisture management controls.
According to Byrum, utility energy optimization programs have not been widely accepted by agribusinesses, largely due to a lack of information about their specific energy needs.
In October of this year, MABA took members of the MPSC and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation on a tour of farms and agribusinesses in Michigan to discuss these specific needs as well as other energy issues and challenges facing Michigan's agriculture sector.
The decision comes on the heels of Governor Snyder's energy address, which laid out his priorities for the state's energy policy based on a series of reports released by the MPSC.
In its energy efficiency report released earlier this year, the MPSC said Michigan could reduce its energy use by one-third over the next ten years through energy efficiency measures.
Energy efficiency programs were found to be cost-effective, saving consumers more than $4 for every $1 invested in energy efficiency.

"Fasting pathway" points the way to new class of diabetes drugs
After a meal, insulin instructs muscle cells to squirrel away glucose for later use and turns off sugar production in the liver, ensuring that blood sugar levels don't rise too high. Conversely, the fasting hormone glucagon signals liver cells to flip on glucose production when supplies run low.
In many patients with type 2 diabetes, however, the body turns a deaf ear to insulin's urgent message, and as a result, the liver acts like a sugar factory on overtime, churning out glucose throughout the day, even when blood sugar levels are high. The most widely used drug to control blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetics is currently metformin.
A uniquely collaborative study led by researchers in the lab of Reuben J. Shaw recently uncovered a novel mechanism that turns up glucose production in the liver when blood sugar levels drop, pointing toward a new class of drugs for the treatment of metabolic disease. The findings, published in Cell, have revealed a crucial role for a group of enzymes called histone deacetylases (HDACs).
A few years ago, Shaw had discovered how metformin helps insulin control glucose levels: it binds to a "metabolic master switch" known as AMPK that blocks glucose production in the liver. Trying to identify novel targets of AMPK that might be relevant to diabetes, Maria Mihaylova, a graduate student in Shaw's laboratory, focused her efforts on a family of enzymes known as class II HDACs. Working closely with Ronald M. Evans, Mihaylova found that inhibiting class II HDACs shut down genes encoding enzymes needed to synthesize glucose in the liver. In collaboration with colleagues in Marc Montminy's lab, she also discovered that HDACs themselves associated with the DNA regulatory elements controlling the expression of the glucose-synthesizing enzymes, but only after she had treated cells with the fasting hormone glucagon. In response, chemical modifications on class II HDACs are removed, and they can translocate into the nucleus, where they bind to a key metabolic regulator that is shut down by insulin.
Recently, many drug companies have been developing HDAC inhibitors as anti-cancer drugs, so Shaw speculates that some of these compounds, which may or may not be useful for cancer, could have therapeutic potential for the treatment of insulin resistance and diabetes.

The growth response, feed conversion ratio and cost benefits of hybrid catfish, Heterobranchus longifilis x Clarias gariepinus fed five maggot meal based diets were evaluated for 56 days in outdoor concrete tanks. Twenty-five fingerlings of the hybrid fish were stocked in ten outdoor concrete tanks of dimension 1.2mx0.13mx0.18m and code MM sub(1)-MM sub(5) in relation to their diet name. Five isonitrogenous and isocaloric maggot meal based diets namely MM sub(1)-0% maggot meal, MM sub(2)-25% maggot meal, MM sub(3)-50% maggot meal, MM sub(4-)75% maggot meal and MM sub(5-) 100% maggot meal were used for the experiment. The higher the proportion of maggot in the meal, the higher the ether extract and crude fiber. No significance difference P>0.05 exists between ash content of the experimental diets. Diet MM sub(2) had the best growth performance and highest MGR with a significant difference P<0.05 with other diets fed fish. No significance differences P>0.05 exists between the growth parameters for diets MM sub(1), MM sub(3), and MM sub(4). A positive correlation (r=1.0) exists (P<0.05, 0.25) between the growth parameters for the different experimental diets. Highest correlation r super(2)=0.9981 exists P<0.05 between MGR within the treatments. However, there no significant (P>0.05) difference in expenditure but there is between the profit indices and incidence of cost between the trials. MM sub(2) has the best yield cost and net profit. Without any reservation, inclusion of maggot based meal diet is recommended as feed of hybrid catfish to 75% inclusion for growth and profit incidence

Guess Who Thinks Miley Cyrus Is A Great Role Model?
Photo: Getty Images
Here's a shocker we NEVER saw coming – Kendra Wilkinson-Baskett considers Miley Cyrus a role model. She told E! Online that she felt like America's Favorite Twerker is good example because she doesn't conform to society's rules. She added, "I'm going to teach my daughter that way: be who you want to be."
One thing that Miley doesn't need to do is pose for "Playboy." Kendra explained, "She's getting whatever it is out of her system, she's being the person she wants to be and that's the way I looked at it when I was doing what I was doing. There's different ways of doing that: there's expressing it loudly and then there's expressing it privately but in 'Playboy!'"

2014 MotoGP, Grand Prix of Spain - Free Practice
Posted by: newsla on May 02, 2014 - 04:55 PM
2014 MotoGP, Grand Prix of Spain - Free Practice
The first European round of the 2014 MotoGP World Championship got underway on track today with two free practice sessions ahead of Sundayâs Gran Premio de Espana.
Movistar Yamaha MotoGP riders Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi were both quick to find a very competitive pace. The pair made progress despite a scorching track temperature of just under 50 degrees making a lack of grip an increasing issue into the second session.
Lorenzo ended the day in second in the combined times with a best lap of 1â39.714, 0.357 seconds from first. Teammate Rossi ended in sixth with a 1â40.125 second lap, less than four tenths from Lorenzo.
The major challenge for both riders proved to be a lack of rear grip so the team will now work to make improvements for both set ups ahead of tomorrow morningâs third free practice session.
Lorenzo and Rossi also tested a new chassis for their YZR-M1 to improve the bikeâs stability under braking. Positive results were obtained, giving Yamahaâs Japanese engineers a clear direction to continue development.
Monster Yamaha Tech3 Team riders Pol Espargaro and Bradley Smith experienced a tough first day of practice at the Circuito de Jerez. Bradley Smithâs chances of improving his FP1 time lucklessly ended prematurely due to an enormous crash at turn 11 at the end of the FP2 session, which the British rider fortunately walked away from uninjured. Smith started the day positively, and aimed to improve his lap time of 1:40.758 set in free practice 1 in the afternoon session, but his time was cut short by the crash. He finished in the combined standings in 11th position overall, but remains hopeful of bouncing back tomorrow and qualifying in the top six, in view to a positive result in Sundayâs 27-lap race.
Rookie Pol Espargaro steered his Yamaha YZR-M1 around the Andalucian circuit to clinch 11th in FP2, and 13th in the combined times today as he continues to progress and gather experience in the premier class. The reigning Moto2 world champion improved his FP1 lap time by a tenth of a second in the afternoon session, despite having suffered slight traction issues due to the greasy track surface. He aims to qualify competitively tomorrow for race day and then add to his impressive top eight finishes that he has obtained in his rookie MotoGP season so far, in front of his home fans.
The Spanish GP saw NGM Forward Racing rider Aleix Espargaro on top of the first day of practices. The Spaniard found a very good feeling with his Forward Yamaha already in the FP1 and he was able to ride fast from the beginning, setting a very good 1â39.357. In the afternoon, with the ground temperature of 49° degrees, Aleix struggled a bit with the soft tyre as the track was very slippery, but despite this he was able to set the second fastest lap time of 1â39.973, +0.2 behind Marc Marquez. With a lap time of 1â39.357 Aleix Espargaro closed on top of todayâs combined times classification.
Team mate Colin Edwards found a positive feeling with his machine in the FP1. He was able to work on the set up and finished in 17th position with a lap time of 1â41.252. Tracks conditions changed a lot in the afternoon and Colin struggled with the electronics and couldnât ride as he he would have wanted.
Jorge Lorenzo
2nd, 1'39.714
âThe track changed so much from the morning to the afternoon, it was much more slippery and we had to try the different rear tyre. Like in Qatar it gave us the same problems with less grip and the bike then feels nervous. We are much closer than before though and I think we can close the gap.â
Valentino Rossi
6th, 1'40.125
âWe tried a different chassis today especially for the braking stability and the first impression is not so bad, itâs just a small step to understand the way to go. The track is very greasy so itâs difficult with the front and rear tyres with the high temperatures. It's difficult to control the bike and it slides a lot. Compared to the other top guys the pace is not so bad so it looks like we have worked well so far and now have to continue."
Massimo Meregalli
Movistar Yamaha MotoGP Team Director
âItâs definitely a positive start to the weekend. For sure we were able to take advantage of all our experience at this track. The bike is working well but of course we have some things to change to improve. Compared to the previous races this is a very different start. The only real issue we have is rear grip. We are focused now on several steps to improve it and then we have to work on a long distance run. We are strong under braking so we are satisfied for the first sessions. Both Jorge and Vale are both reasonably happy overall and both have good pace but are also keen to make the next steps and improve even further.â
Bradley Smith
11th, 1'40.758
âToday was a tough day, but the most important thing is that I am ok after that huge crash and that I didnât get any injuries. We didnât find a good set up with the bike, despite trying many different options and I also struggled a lot with my the rear grip and my confidence with it. I tried the soft and hard compounds of both tyres, and provided Bridgestone with as much information as possible so that we can find a solution. We have a lot of work to do tomorrow, and seriously need to look into our setting. We are not close for the moment, and need to undertake a drastic change to get higher up the grid, but I am still confident that I can qualify well here in Jerez.â
Pol Espargaro
13th, 1'40.918
âIt looks like afternoon was better than this morningâs session in terms of performance, however there is a lot we need to improve on to get up to speed. We just tested the hard rear tyre in the afternoon, and struggled, so it will have to be the tomorrow morning when we try to set the fast lap time, when the track temperature is a bit cooler. I am confident I can get into QP2, however thereâs still a lot to improve. We have to discover which settings we need to change on the bike in order to advance. Despite everything, my feeling is a bit better than this morning, so there are some small steps of encouragement but we need to make more.â
Aleix Espargaro
1st, 1'39.357
âIâm satisfied of how we started here in Jerez. This morning we found a good set up and I was able to push from the beginning. In the afternoon the track was very slippery due the torrid temperatures and it was more difficult to push as I was loosing the front, especially with the soft tyre. The most important thing is that we have a good pace with the hard tyre and that we lapped with the full tank. We will keep on working in preparation of the race. Itâs great to close the first day on top but my priority is to get a good result in the race and a podium is my target as well as my dreamâ.
Colin Edwards
17th, 1'41.252
âThis morning we started the session in the right direction and I was quiet comfortable on the bike but in the afternoon the track conditions changed a lot. The front was closing and I struggled with the electronics. I didnât use the soft tyre, we will try it tomorrowâ.

China's Commerce Ministry said on Wednesday it was prepared to defend its rare earth export policies at the World Trade Organization, days after the global trade body ruled against its export restrictions on raw materials exports.
A WTO panel decided on Monday that China had violated global trading rules by curbing exports of raw materials such as bauxite, coke, magnesium, manganese and zinc, which inflated prices and gave domestic Chinese firms an unfair competitive advantage.
Rare earth metals were not part of the ruling, but users of the crucial group of 17 elements used in the renewable and high-tech sectors hope China will also scrap export limits on these commodities, leading to higher volume and lower prices.

Hambantota, Jul 25: So, who is to blame for India's defeat in the second One Day International against Sri Lanka on Tuesday? The answer is simple. It is the pitch. This is what India captain MS Dhoni has said.
Indian batting was blown away by Sri Lankan bowlers led by Thisara Perera and Angelo Mathews at the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Cricket Stadium. India could muster only 138 runs in 33.3 overs. Sri Lanka strolled to victory by nine wickets, completing the demolition act in just 19.5 overs.
When Dhoni was asked about the match, this is what he had to say.
"The pitch was next to the wicket we played on last time but it behaved in a completely different way," Dhoni said.
In the first ODI, at the same ground, India posted a mammoth 314/6 in 50 overs. There was a century from Virat Kohli and a 96 from Virender Sehwag.
"Initially the wicket was slightly on the slower side. Once Virat (Kohli) got out, we lost a couple of more wickets very quickly," Dhoni added.
"Before the batsmen could assess the wicket, we lost two wickets played on. I thought after that it was too much for batsmen like Irfan (Pathan) and (Ravichandran) Ashwin to come in and take us out of trouble," the wicketkeeper-batsman explained.
When Sri Lanka skipper Mahela Jayawardene was asked for his views on the wicket, he did not agree with Dhoni.
"Probably a touch slower; there were quite a few good balls as well. We bowled in good areas, created pressure, maybe a couple of bad shots as well, but I will take that any day. The important thing with the Indian batting line-up is picking up wickets and that's the only way we can control things and that is what we did today," he said.
Dhoni also did not agree that his batsmen played bad shots.
It is difficult to decide who is right. Jayawardene or Dhoni? Let us move to Colombo now for the next game on Saturday, July 28. How will the pitch be at the R Premadasa Stadium? We shall find out in three days' time.

This week's video story: I must do the work that I am best suited for.
As I mention, that story appears in Edward Weston's Daybooks.
I can't resist adding a bit of what he wrote about photographing peppers:
"It is a classic, completely satisfying,–a pepper—but more than a pepper: abstract, in that it is completely outside subject matter. It has no psychological attributes, no human emotions are aroused: this new pepper takes on beyond the world we know in the conscious mind.
To be sure, much of my work has this quality,–many of my last year's peppers, but this one, and in fact all the new ones, take one into an inner reality,–the absolute,–with a clear understanding, a mystic revealment." — Daybooks, August 8, 1931
Sidenote: It's surprising to me how many great visual artists are also great writers.
How about you? Do you have to remind yourself to "Be Gretchen" (substitute your own name) and to do what you're best suited for? Self-knowledge! Always, it comes back to self-knowledge.

What Happens If I Don't Attend the Meeting of Creditors?
In most cases, if you don't attend the meeting of creditors, the trustee will dismiss your bankruptcy case. But there are a few exceptions.
When you file for bankruptcy relief, you must attend a mandatory hearing called the meeting of creditors (also called the 341 hearing). If you fail to attend your 341 hearing, the bankruptcy trustee appointed in your case will most likely dismiss your bankruptcy. Read on to learn more about what happens if you don't go to your bankruptcy meeting of creditors.
For more information on what happens at the 341 hearing, see our topic area on The Meeting of Creditors.
What Is the Meeting of Creditors?
The meeting of creditors is a hearing that gives the trustee and your creditors a chance to ask you questions under oath about your bankruptcy paperwork and financial affairs. At the 341 hearing, the trustee will verify the information disclosed in your bankruptcy petition and may have additional questions relating to your file. Creditors are also allowed to question you regarding the nature and location of your assets.
Do I Have to Attend the Meeting of Creditors?
Yes, the meeting of creditors is a mandatory hearing. In most cases, you must attend your 341 hearing in person at its regularly scheduled time. If you don't appear at your meeting of creditors, the trustee will normally dismiss your case and your debts will not be discharged (eliminated).
But under certain circumstances, the trustee may agree to reschedule your hearing or allow you to appear telephonically (discussed below).
Can I Reschedule My Meeting of Creditors?
Bankruptcy trustees manage a heavy caseload and conduct multiple 341 hearings in a given day. As a result, they will typically not reschedule meetings of creditors unless there is a compelling reason to do so. In general, the trustee will reschedule your meeting of creditors only if you have:
- a medical or family emergency
- a medical treatment that must be performed immediately, or
- other compelling circumstances.
The following circumstances typically will not justify rescheduling a 341 hearing:
- work schedule conflicts
- personal or business travel
- routine medical visits
- moving to a different city or state, or
- not properly calendaring the hearing date.
Can I Appear Telephonically?
In most cases, you must personally appear at your 341 hearing. If you are not able to attend the meeting of creditors, the trustee may allow you to appear telephonically if:
- you have a medical condition that prevents you from appearing in person
- you are called to active military duty
- you are incarcerated, or
- you have another compelling reason.
Can I Be Excused from Attending the Meeting of Creditors?
If you can't attend the meeting of creditors in person or telephonically, you may be able to ask the court to excuse you from appearing. In general, bankruptcy courts will only excuse a debtor from attending the 341 hearing under rare circumstances such as:
- death, or
- complete mental or physical incapacity.
Even if the court excuses your appearance, an authorized representative must normally still attend the hearing on your behalf and provide the trustee will all necessary information.
What Should I Do If I Can't Attend My Meeting of Creditors?
If you are certain that you will not be able to attend your meeting of creditors, contact your bankruptcy trustee immediately. Even if you don't have a reason that justifies rescheduling your hearing, the trustee may still agree to do so if you explain your circumstances and provide ample notice.
