We're celebrating 50 years of racing at the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course with personal recollections from some of the racers and events that have made their mark at one of America's finest natural-terrain tracks. This week, Scott Dixon looks back on his decisive victory in last weekend's Honda Indy 200 at Mid-Ohio. And to learn more about Mid-Ohio's heritage and see more evocative photos from the track's first 50 years, click here to open the free Mid-Ohio@50 digital special!
I'm thrilled that our first win of the season came at Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, but first, let's be honest – it was just great to finish a race with a result that truly reflected our performance! That's been a rare feeling for us in the No. 9 half of the Target Chip Ganassi Racing team this year, where being hit by out-of-control racecars was starting to feel like a way of life…
But this win wasn't just about what we did last weekend. It's a reflection of hard work and good progress from early last month in a test at Sebring, because that was definitely a turning point for us. Dario and I joke about it every year, because no one wants to be at Sebring in the height of summer – 100 degrees and what feels like 100 percent humidity means it's not the most fun test to go and do, I can tell you that. But in the last few years it's turned out to be useful and we've learned a lot. This year, for sure, it was instrumental in how the team has performed since. Look at how consistently quick Dario and I were at Toronto and Edmonton.
And then came the test at Mid-Ohio. That was another huge factor in how we performed all weekend, because during the test we found three or four things that really worked for us – and we ended it five or six tenths quicker than anybody. Heading back there for the race knowing we had an advantage was quite calming in a way and, sure enough, that's how our weekend started. It wasn't obvious in the Friday practice because there was so much traffic we just never got a clean lap together. But on Saturday, everything started falling into place.
Given how close the cars are in terms of lap time, over a 67- or 68-second lap, it felt great to have a quarter-second over Ryan Briscoe and three tenths over Dario and Will Power. We seemed to have it consistently through each session and the red tires really transformed the car. If you look at Edmonton or Toronto, three tenths would have gained you something like eight or 10 places on the grid.
However, I'd never say it was easy, especially not at a challenging track like Mid-Ohio – and trust me, it was very demanding this year. I don't know if it was because of the particular tire compounds and how they were bonding to the track surface, but on initial turn in to the corners, the car felt so loose, it was almost like the track surface was wet! I think that's why you saw some of the usual suspects struggle a lot. People like Helio Castroneves and Mike Conway, who are typically very good on this type of track, were having a hard time.
I admit, my fairly energetic driving style suited the track this year, because it felt like we were constantly fighting the car and that does suit the way I drive. It's a situation where I'd also expect to see Marco Andretti to do well, because he also tends to shine in low-grip situations, but obviously he had other issues in qualifying. But, I can tell you, the fans at Mid-Ohio – and as usual, there were a hell of a lot! – would have loved watching us on the corner exits and over the crests. Man, we were hanging it out!
Once the race started, we pulled a gap, maintained it and were able to save fuel and we were able to save it behind James Hinchcliffe, too. But you've got to make sure you're on the right strategy, too. Look at Briscoe and Power – they just got hosed because they stretched their fuel window and the yellow came out. Unusually for this year, we weren't one of the victims of that bad luck! Having said that, when I saw the yellow just after I'd stopped and knew that Dario had pitted one lap later and would get to the blend line before I came around Turn 1, I thought, "Man! I can't believe it." I admit, I was definitely steaming at that point. It's a great thing to know how strong your car is on the day, and to feel you can definitely pass the guy ahead if you have to, but on the other hand, it's a tough track to overtake cleanly and in this case it was my teammate…. I just wanted to get the job done as soon as I could so nailing that restart was vital.
I can tell you, considering this was the 50th birthday of the Mid-Ohio track, it feels really special to become the first three-time IndyCar winner there. It's not just any track; this is one of the classics. You can't beat America's long-established permanent road courses, in my opinion, and this is one that hasn't been changed much down the years. Even when you go to a test at Mid-Ohio, it's enjoyable because all the elevation changes and fast corners give it a real nice flow.
Mid-Ohio is also physical to the extent that when it does grip up, it's very high grip, you're pulling a lot of g-loads through the middle section and there's no place to relax. Maybe a little bit out of Turn 1, but then you're already preparing to brake for the Keyhole section; and then a little bit down the back straight, but even there you're ripping off gears, talking to the team or thinking tactics. Mid-Ohio is just one of those places that keeps you constantly thinking or turning!
It's also unique. We cannot assume that just because we went so well at Mid-Ohio that we'll go just as well at the remaining road courses. In 2009, I won there by something like 30 seconds, and then struggled a little at Sonoma, for example. What I can say, though, is that we've made a lot of little changes on my car and taken the setup a little bit further away from what Dario's been doing on the No. 10. We're following our own direction and that's been working for us, especially in qualifying – I think we've started top three in just about every road course this year. So while Mid-Ohio isn't necessarily a good indicator of performance at other road courses, I think it's this transformation in the way we approach each track that will help us a lot.
We're not out of the championship. There are still 300 points left on the table, and we'll do our best to have a crack at it. Obviously Dario's 93 points ahead, which is a hell of a lot to try and pull back, but until you're mathematically out of it, there's no way we're going to give up. Will's a bit more achievable at 31 points ahead, so we can set our sights on that, because a 1-2 in the championship would be amazing for Target Chip Ganassi Racing.
If we achieve it, I'll look back at Mid-Ohio as the race that turned our season around. I'm very proud to be the first IndyCar driver to have conquered this special track three times, and it's great to be a part of its 50-year history. Happy birthday, mate!

Ease of Use
When I began taking Relpax, I classified it as a miracle drug. I would get a migraine, take a Relpax (I also took two aspirin, about an hour later) and the headache would vanish.
I have been taking Relpax for years, sometimes as many as once a day. In the last several months, I have been experiencing terrible withdrawals if I do not take a Relpax, namely, crippling headaches, exhaustion, sore

Ease of Use
Usually within a half hour my migraine starts to go away. This med only last about 8 - 10 hrs then it comes back again. My migraines usually last 3-4 days so I do need to be careful in taking another pill too soon or I feel like I'm OD'ing but wish it would last more like 12-24 hrs.

Relpax is the only abortive medication that has worked for me. It's tricky because you have to take it at the first sign of a migraine, and it won't work if the migraine has already started. Insurance only covers 4 tablets a month, and since they're around $40 per tablet, it's hard to decide if each headache is worth treating with the expensive pill. I can't wait for a gener

Dd always has chapped lips in the winter but this week she smiled at a taped audition and was stopped because her lip started bleeing! We tried a lot of lip balms and lip medications, but before we go try a $20 tube of blistex that will last a few days, does anyone have any home remedies or products that work well for you/your child? Thanks! | ||
Sean Penn |
When I was on acutanne in high school (which completely dries out your system. My lips were always dry and bleeding) Burts Beeswax was the only thing that worked for me. I had to apply it almost constantly... but it worked. | |||
Johnny Depp |
TY everyone, we will try those! Vaseline seems to work very nicely but the scent/flavor is not the best lol | |||
Kevin Bacon |
I'm a big fan of vaseline when there's no chapstick around. | |||
Sean Penn |
Remind her NOT to lick her lips. As tempting as it is, it only makes them worse. In that vein; it might be wise to avoid "flavored/fruity scented" balms as she might find herself still licking them without realizing it. Oh and no minty ones. The mint smells really nice, but mint is very drying. I hope this helps. | |||
Denzel Washington |
sounds like you need some vaseline | |||
Kevin Bacon |
blistex is by far the best when you do go to buy blistex please beaware they have many different kinds like for chapped lips or like medicaded to repair etc but it works best | |||
Newbie |
Chapped lips means you are lacking vit e. Eat almonds soaked overnight. Peel them off and start your day with it | |||
Glenn Close |
You are responding to a thread that was started in March 2011 and had activity back in October. The discussion is done. Chapped lips can mostly be prevented through proper fluid consumption and a balanced diet. A chapstick gives you a good coating on the lips, but it only treats the symptoms. Not the cause. | |||

My wife swears by "Bag Balm." I used to think she was crazy because it's something cowgirls (like her in her old days) use to keep moisture in leather, and on horses if their skin is starting to dry out but it works like crazy on lips. I had a huge problem with chapped lips and it's been working for me. CVS has it sometimes, it's in a green aluminum tin with red flowers on it (usually on the bottom rack because it's pretty cheap). It's kind of hard to find sometimes but the CVS on North Hollywood way in Burbank has it. "Absorb what is useful, Discard what is not, Add what is uniquely your own." - Bruce Lee | |||
Newbie |
Your lips only have thin surface layers of skin, so they are more likely than the rest of your face to dry out. You lose up to 10 times more moisture through your lips than your face or body. Some ingredients such as hyaluronic acid, sodium PCA, and glycerin is good and make your lips stay moist. For more information visit maxolip reviews. | |||
Glenn Close |
A simple sugar scrub works wonders and you can do it almost anywhere anytime. Use oil(olive, grapeseed, etc) or lip balm as a base, mix it with a bit of table sugar, and rub your lips. Do this whenever you feel flaky or dried out. Works great. | |||
Newbie |
Yes I tried the sugar scrub also it is really a good home based recipe to give your lips extra smoothness and glow. And for more information about how to care the lips you can visit here: maxolip reviews | |||

I want to talk briefly about what it really means to be a skeptic. Skepticism can be variously defined, but it generally relates to the idea that information needs to be well supported by evidence to be believed. It seems characterised by an attitude that questions sources, checks facts, analyses data, and fields a healthy amount of incredulity with regards to nonsense.
In short, I think a skeptic is someone who comes to beliefs about reality through a process of rational inquiry into…

As most of you who know me have found out, I spend a fair amount of time on this site not just making friends and having conversations, but also have debates which usually center around history. I am not a professional historian, but I am pretty well-read on the subject and consider it one of my hobbies, so I usually find myself debating with people not very familiar with the issues.
What I've noticed is that many atheists are not as historically literate as they think (I've…
ContinueHi Matt, this is an odd format for a reply to be sure, but I was unable to reply back to you on the thread itself (possibly blocked, I don't know, but I doubt it). In any event, I don't want to clog up your entire comment wall with such a lengthy response, so feel free to delete if you like. *Note - sorry about the friend request, that was an accidental click - I'm not some basket-case who launches verbal (textual?) tirades in order to friend people.
I carefully reread my response to you and maybe a personal message would have been a better avenue, but it was simply easier to follow along with quoting/etc.
Look, I don't dislike you, and the bulk of my post probably seems that way. I don't even know you and am largely indifferent to the topics that you post about, and I wasn't trying to be a jerk to you or attack your character. I understand the frustration of arguing with people who respond nastily and the inclination I get to respond in kind is generally met with more of the same, much like you have said. I DID infact make several assumptions about you which now, based on the frank and productive reply I got from you, seem as though they were made in error, and I'm perfectly happy to admit as such.
With regard to the masturbation comment, please understand the context involved verbal masturbation and was not intended as a presupposition for any sort of inappropriate sexual innuendo, which you may have known, but just to be clear:
Even so, I made a good deal of unfair attacks and will more carefully consider my responses to you in the future (should we cross paths).
I'm still not for snappy remarks between people and will likely continue to have a problem with them, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't surprised by your reply.
As I've already stated, I actually agree with many of your positions and I respect the work that it appears you put into your studies. If your responses are as courteous to others as yours was to me just now, I expect I'll probably agree with you on much more than I would disagree.
Greetings from Canada, take care.
I liked what you had to say! I sent you a friend request. Have a nice weekend!
Watergate was a coverup. Yes conspiring does exist but the conspiracy theory rhetoric is a complete waste of time and never ends because they don't accept provided evidence proving there claims are wrong.
I wonder if my double facepalm will be deleted again on that 9/11 blog. Some atheists just can't make the leap to being a skeptic. You can't be a real skeptic if you are not an atheist (non-believer) but you can be an atheist and believe in conspiracy and paranormal crap.

As we celebrate our history and take pride in our nation this July 4th, the Dayton Administration and the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) encourage Minnesotans to take extra care and caution while behind the wheel.
In Minnesota, July 4th has been the deadliest day on the road for the last three years, resulting in 15 traffic deaths over the 24-hour period. "The spike in drinking and driving deaths during the Fourth of July is a clear and simple reminder why Minnesotans need to plan ahead for a sober ride" says Donna Berger, director of the DPS Office of Traffic Safety. During the holiday travel period, 66 percent of traffic deaths are a result of drunk driving.
With a stated mission "to create a culture for which traffic fatalities and serious injuries are no longer acceptable," The DPS, along with the Departments of Health and Transportation, the State Patrol, and others, have started the Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) initiative which works through "education, engineering, enforcement, and emergency medical and trauma services" to improve road safety for Minnesota citizens.
On Tuesday, June 26, Governor Mark Dayton announced plans for a new, three-part safety upgrade to U.S. Highway 14 in south central Minnesota, between North Mankato and Nicollet, MN. The plan includes taking immediate action to improve safety conditions on the road as well as a commitment by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) to expand the length of highway to four lanes.
The three-part strategy is already underway in its first stage, which involves increased traffic enforcement in an effort to reduce the dangerous driving behavior that has typically occured on the highway. The second phase of the plan calls for the construction of a widened median, which will create a safer buffer between the current two lanes of the highway. Finally, the last phase of the project will be to expand the stretch of Highway 14 from North Mankato to Nicollet into four lanes of traffic. Construction on this final phase is expected to begin in about five years, with a total cost for the three phases of the project being roughly $21.5 – 35 million.
"This segment of Highway 14 has proven to be particularly dangerous, and today's actions will be important steps to reduce both congestion and accidents," said Governor Dayton. "I remain committed to making Highway 14 a four-lane highway 'from border to border' (Minnesota's western border to its eastern border)."
This past Tuesday, June 12, Lieutenant Governor Yvonne Prettner Solon showed her support for University Avenue's locally-owned businesses when she attended "Lunch on the Avenue" at Ngon's Bistro. Lieutenant Governor Solon met with business leaders from the Midway area including Midway Chamber of Commerce Board Chair Paul McGinley and representatives from the Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) and the Met Council. Others who attended include Robert McPherson, an insurance risk consultant with Western Insurance Agency in St. Paul and Chris Ferguson, President and CEO of Bywater Business Solutions in Minneapolis.
Over the course of the last several years, the Metropolitan Council has transformed itself into a leaner, greener government agency. Metro Transit's "Go Greener" campaign has been the most visible facet of the Council's transformation, but Metro Transit's efforts are only a few of the agency's award winning green initiatives.
The Metropolitan Council's Environmental Services Division, responsible for handling waste water in the Metro area, is leading the way in making the Metropolitan Council a greener agency. The division has reduced its energy consumption by cleaning equipment more regularly, replacing old equipment with new, energy efficient equipment, and exploring ways to use the heat released during the treatment process for energy. In addition, Xcel Energy has recognized the Environmental Services Division with a Gold Award for achieving the highest electrical savings of all the utility's large commercial and industrial customers in Minnesota between January 2010 and June 2011.
The Minnesota Department of Transportation today announced its 2012 construction program, which will include 316 economy-boosting projects in the Metro and in Greater Minnesota. This year's state highway construction projects include work on the Interstate I-694/Highway 10 interchange in the Twin Cities and completion of construction on I-35 in Duluth. Other projects will improve safety at railroad crossings, repair weather-damaged seawalls and docks, and repair runways and terminals at regional airports.
"MnDOT is focused on improving our highways and maximizing the capacity of the system," said Commissioner Tom Sorel. "Our transportation system is vital to the state's economy and to its citizens' quality of life. We want to ensure that it provides a safe and efficient trip for all users."
With diesel fuel prices climbing to $4 per gallon, there's now a loan program that can help Minnesota long-haul truckers save money, stay cool this summer, and reduce pollution on overnight rest stops.
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency offers low, 4 percent loans to owner-operated long-haul truckers and small trucking companies to purchase idle-reduction devices. These auxiliary power units, or APUs, are either small, 15-horsepower diesel engines or battery pack systems that can run air conditioning, heaters and electricity to power laptops while the truck's main engine is shut off.
A new study by the Minnesota Department of Public Safety shows 68 lives and over 300 injuries have been avoided in Minnesota thanks to the state's 2009 Primary Seat Belt Law. Under the primary seat belt law, officers can ticket drivers for not wearing a seat belt without any other law being broken. Since the law went into effect, observed seatbelt use in the state has risen from 87 percent in 2008 to 93 percent in 2011.
"The findings of this study remind us again how vital it is for Minnesotans to buckle up — every seat, every ride," said Public Safety Commissioner Mona Dohman. Seatbelt use reduces the risk of fatal injury in a passenger automobile by 45 percent. Unbuckled motorists are six times more likely to be injured in an accident than motorists wearing seat belts. Minnesotans that are least likely to buckle up and more likely to die in crashes are young drivers. This group represents only 24 percent of licensed drivers in Minnesota, yet they account for half of serious unbelted injuries.
The study by the Department of Public Safety showed 70 percent of Minnesota motorists are in favor of the Primary Seatbelt Law, up from 62 percent just before the law was passed. As more motorists use seatbelts, the drop in injuries is also saving the state money. $45 million in hospital bills have been avoided thanks to motorists using their seatbelts.
"As Minnesota continues its efforts to move roadway deaths towards zero, this research shows that seat belts are a critical tool in that effort," said MnDOT Commissioner Tom Sorel. It's important that every Minnesota motorist remembers to use a seatbelt. Buckling is the easiest, least expensive way to help lower traffic deaths in Minnesota.
This week, we saw the real results that can be achieved by a Governor who has an unwavering commitment to putting Minnesotans back to work. This week was full of encouraging developments for Minnesotans who are looking for work, in large part to the efforts of Governor Dayton and his administration.
On Tuesday, we found out that there are nearly 50,000 vacant jobs in our state, an increase of almost 50% from this time last year. While there is still work to be done to ensure that our workforce has the skills they need to fill those jobs, the most recent job vacancy survey released by DEED this week is reason to be hopeful.
On Wednesday and Thursday, the legislature finally held hearings on the Governor's jobs proposals. His tax credit for hiring unemployed Minnesotans, veterans and recent graduates would put up to 10,000 people back to work by providing tax incentives to businesses. The Governor's proposed expansion of FastTRAC was also heard. Expanding FastTRAC statewide will be crucial in ensuring that our state's workers have the skills they need to fill the jobs that are available now and in the future.
Getting Minnesota Back to Work
- Under the Governor's leadership Minnesota continues to outpace the national economic recovery. Minnesota's unemployment rate is 5.9 percent, compared to 8.6 percent for the rest of the country. There are 53,000 more Minnesotans at work now, compared to the bottom of the recession.
- Governor Dayton worked to pass a $500 million bonding bill, putting thousands of Minnesotans back to work improving bridges, roads and infrastructure.
When it comes to government reform in Minnesota, an important way the state's numerous government agencies can provide better services to Minnesota citizens is through collaboration. Take for example, a recent collaboration between the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
When MnDOT construction contractors sought permitting for state highway projects that involved the replacement of bridges and culverts located within public waters, the DNR's involvement was needed to ensure these projects complied with environmental regulations, in addition to the MnDOT project regulations. Working through two different permitting processes and two sets of regulations can often cause unneeded delays.
To address this, the agencies formed an interagency collaboration and developed a Best Practices guidance manual that outlined the permitting regulations for both agencies. This has resulted in increased environmental compliance, more consistent and simpler permitting, and reduced delays for MnDOT project timelines.

How much should I invest in gold?
December 5, 2013 07:19 am -
As we know that gold is always in the demand and the price of the Gold is totally depends on the demand and supply. If you are thinking to make an investment in the Gold then this is a very good opportunity because art this time the price of the Gold is very low and according to the experts prices will be boost in the next quarter of the year. This is golden opportunity to buy gold in low prices and in my opinion to make an investment in the gold coins is the best type of investment because they provide high liquidity and easy trade. Nowadays, many traders provide designer coins for attracting their customers, I have seen it on: - http://www.thetroyounce.com/catalog/gold/gold-coins-bullion if you have sufficient funds for the investing purpose then don't invest your all funds invest 50% initially and when the price of gold start to go higher then you can invest 25% remaining and remaining 25% save it for your future trade.

Since there was no danger of the earth being struck by Comet ISON, and there was nothing saying we would pass through the tail - how can we now pass through the debris path? Is there a link you can point us towards?
I firmly believe that if and when the earth is struck by a large celestial object - it will be an asteroid which we did not even know was there until it slams into the planet. No warning whatsoever!
@MaryB , perhaps this is a sign from above that you should buy a Mercury Comet, instead of a ford ranger...

I find it ironic that you advertise a consumerism product on a website where people don't have this mentality. We aren't the people who stays out all night outside of Walmart for 1$ off craps.
PS: One of my family member found an IPhone 5 during a special event in July. I didn't found the owner so I decided to keep it. Now in November, I still haven't used it, except for checking the time. Since it's worth between 300$ to 400$, I'll sell it and buy more precious metals. The main reason why I'm selling it is because I never really use it.
Getting rid of an overpriced garbage made by a greedy corporation using underpaid Chinese workers, so that you could buy more physical precious metals to fight the fiat currency, isn't that patriotic?

November 29, 2013 10:01 am -
According to the experts this is the right time to make an investment in the gold because now the exporting of gold is banned nowadays by the china which is the world's largest leading supplier. The best way to buy gold is in the form of coins because these are easily available and this does not require lot of investment. Last month I have purchased 2 gold coins from troy ounce which is the most leading supplier in the field of precious metals.

Wow Mikey, those are some very nice coins and if the price written on the holders is what you paid for them, then you did very well on most of the coins. And those Walkers look especially nice - for some reason most of those have quite a lot of wear on them. Once I lucked out and picked up a stack of uncirculated Walking Liberty Halves for $15/ea. (Yes I still have those.)

Bank Safe Deposit Box
November 27, 2013 03:21 am -
In times of war and crisis, the LEAST "safe" are boxes at the bank. Already these are being violated in peaceful places such as Switzerland. They always have an extra key.
Anything your deposit in such a box, the bank considers an investment in their firm. Whatevver the contract you sign might say. Read up on it, lots of real-life horror stories. Gold bars that change serial numbers, or just appear missing.

Today, I had the opportunity to discuss the need for education and high-skilled immigration reform when I testified before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security at a hearing on "The Economic Imperative for Immigration Reform."
The essence of my testimony is that while we undoubtedly have a jobs problem in this country, closer analysis shows it is also a talent and skills problem. In a world where jobs follow talent, we need to increase the skills of the American workforce if we are to succeed economically.
Education is clearly a priority. Today, we face a dual unemployment rate. The Bureau of Labor Statistics last month estimated that the unemployment rate for individuals with a college degree or more is only 4.4 percent. For those individuals with only a high school diploma, the unemployment rate is 10 percent. And the problem may get worse. According to a recent Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce study, between 1973 and 2008, the share of jobs in the U.S. economy that required postsecondary education rose from 28 percent to 59 percent. This share is projected to rise to 63 percent by 2018. The same study shows that by 2018 we are likely to fall short on the number of college graduates our economy needs. We have a skills gap.

As we engage with people around the world, it is clear that privacy issues are top of mind for consumers, businesses, governments and policymakers. It seems like every day there is a new story highlighting concerns related to the collection, use and protection of personal data. Legislators and regulators are carefully monitoring the landscape, and actively exploring ways to protect consumers' privacy. Meanwhile, consumers are getting more engaged, and asking important questions about how data is protected.
To advance this discussion, Microsoft is launching a series of privacy conversations at our Innovation & Policy Center in Washington, D.C. Microsoft has a longstanding commitment to privacy, and works hard to earn the trust of customers around the world by, in part, developing and adopting meaningful privacy practices.

We are hopeful that gatherings such as this will continue to elevate the conversation and remind us all that providing every child a quality educational experience must be a right of this country, not a privilege.

Summertime often conjures up memories of days spent at the beach – waves crashing, sand castles, beach balls, surfing, swimming and ice cream. For the vast majority of Americans, that time is spent at a public beach – places with names like Crane's, Ocean Shores, Sleeping Bear Dunes, Presque Isle and yes, even Marconi, named for the telecommunications pioneer.
Today, the U.S. House of Representatives Subcommittee on Communications and Technology holds a hearing on a legislative proposal that would require all newly allocated radio spectrum to be auctioned. That would include spectrum reallocated in the TV bands, including the white spaces spectrum, soon to be used by innovative new types of unlicensed devices based on dynamic spectrum access techniques.

The establishment of road safety targets requires that safety performance be monitored over time. Governments and funding agencies can also benefit from evaluating the road safety impacts of their investments.
In countries where reliable crash data is available, Risk Mapping has been used to compare crash rates over time. These countries include Australia, Austria, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States.
For example:
Safety performance indicators also provide an effective means of monitoring performance. Measures such as helmet and seat belt wearing rates have been used effectively in assessing road safety behaviour, as have speed measurements and conflict studies, and iRAP Star Ratings provide a set of safety performance indicators for road infrastructure.
In New Zealand, KiwiRAP Star Ratings are included in weekly road death reports to the Minister for Transport. By combining this with information about behaviour-related issues such as seat belt wearing and speeding and Australasian NCAP Star Ratings for cars, the Minister is able to gain a balanced view of the factors that influenced each death.
In Malaysia, the road authority (JKR) used Star Ratings to rapidly estimate the change in infrastructure-related risk as a result of improvements at several high-risk sites under the black spot program (see below).

The Grammys Nominations Concert, December 1st
Tune in to the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.
Lets see, how many Christina gets the nominations, whether with Bionic or Burlesque..
Information about Grammys :
Mr. Titanic 12.03.2010
Well I'm not watching unless Christina performs.
I thought that this is that kind of thing where the talent is looked at, but there are - I don't want to hurt anyone so I don't gave names - lot of people got nominations who had nothing to do with music. Even people who you can't find ONE single live performance what is not sound terrible. I'm disappointed too. It's much like heay gave this and that some nomination -> than we can do a big show -> lot's of people will see it -> MONEY
BlueRoseT2 12.02.2010
Soundtrack albums do get recognized. Maybe it'll gain some attention for next year's Grammy's.
BlueRoseT2 12.02.2010
I personally don't think Christina is at all bothered by this. I'm sure she would like to be recognized for her hard work, but at the end of the day, she's not letting the rejection get to her. I don't mean this disrespectfully, but she's used to the rejection. Christina was able to make the kind of album she wanted to make with Bionic and she was satisfied with its outcome, despite poor record sales and negative reviews. Her focus has already shifted to making a new album so let's hope for the best with her new project and not dwell on Bionic's short comings. As long as Christina is happy with Bionic and her fans are entertained by it, that's all that should matter.
Mr. Titanic 12.02.2010
They want ratings, not respect. Forget them.
Mr. Titanic 12.02.2010
This is absolutely revolting, my faith in in the Grammy's is so shaken, it is beyond the scope of any Richter scale. Forget this show.
the entire industry really deserted xtina in her bionic era. i really want her to win a grammy for bionic as its the highest award giving body for music. who cares if she's not that popular to the masses (mtv, ama), being that popular will cheapen her artistry, but come on the grammy's?
this is just a phase...
this dark age of xtina's career is waning now that burlesque is making waves... i'm not sure if burlesque has made it to the oscar's timetable...
the oscar's is our next hope...
im so lethargic right now because of that news. -
BlueRoseT2 12.01.2010
Just read the full list of nominees on grammy.com and Christina didn't get a single nomination. So sad...
BionicFred 11.27.2010
I hope Christina gets nomination for YOU LOST ME and also for the album BIONIC.
Mr. Titanic 11.27.2010
If You Lost Me or Bionic do not get a grammy, I will lose complete faith in the award's show, and will only watch it when Christina is performing.
AintNoOtherGirl 11.26.2010
Would woohoo be considered as it wasn't a offical single?
like i am seeds said burlesque won't be counted till the 2012 awards cos of when the timetable cut off is but bionic as been submitted in 9 categories so hopefully she gets a few noms
Record Of the year-You Lost Me

the only ballad they awarded in xtina's career is beautiful... they snubbed "huRt" which every music critic is lobbying for as a strong grammy contender... it didnt even get nominated... so linda n xtina's 1st attempt to recreate the "beautiful formula" didn't work
i'm not so sure if the xtina sia magic will do wonders this time.

Community and Youth Projects
LIFT provides a space for communities to produce representations on their own terms. Each community collaboration works with LIFT's professional equipment, facilities and member resources to assist social justice, education, arts and other non-profits in training their constituents to make media and produce the media content they need within often limited budgets.
LIFT accepts project inquiries from non-profit organizations and collectives on an ongoing basis. One-off projects are welcome as schedules and budgets permit, however LIFT is primarily interested in cultivating long-term partnerships with other organizations and collectives. These engagements can include capacity building consulting for emerging groups and project management along with LIFT equipment, facilities, instructors and mentors.
LIFT welcomes requests from all organizations sharing its values and anti-oppression stance, however only a small portion of projects will be accepted in any year. Please allow 2 to 12 weeks for an evaluation of your proposal, depending on its complexity and current workload. For more information about collaborating with LIFT please contact our outreach department.

Cara Cissell Brahm is waiting – and hoping – that some day soon she'll be breathing a little easier. Since this summer, she has been on the list to receive a double lung transplant. Cara, 37, was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis when she was 10 years old. Two of her sisters (both older) were also diagnosed with the condition. "It mostly affects the lungs, but it can also affect the digestive system and the pancreas," she said. Mindy died in 1999. Another sister, Lisa, received a transplant two and a half years ago.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for several central Kentucky counties, including Marion County. The advisory remains in effect until 1 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 7.
The weather service advises people in central Kentucky to be aware of possible deteriorating conditions, particularly on Friday, when temperatures are expected to drop.
The conditions could bring "complex and messy" weather to the region. This may include snow, sleet and freezing rain.
The Lebanon Main Street Committee has cancelled the Dickens Christmas parade this evening, but other Heart of Kentucky Holiday Festival events are still taking place.

Also, an arts and crafts fair is going on in the heritage center at the same time.

Intra-Domain Federation
Organizations with more than one unified communication (UC) platform or that are contemplating migrating to a different platform face a difficult Intra-domain federation problem, especially if they want to establish federation for users on different platforms who share the same domain name.
This problem is practically impossible to solve since each UC server would consider any traffic as its local UC traffic and thus neither system would route messages to the other one. As a result, users on one platform cannot communicate with their colleagues on the other platform because of the domain-based locality imposed by both UCs.
NextPlane solves this problem by enabling two federated UCs to share the same domain name without requiring a costly and disruptive implementation of sub-domains. NextPlane applies patented routing algorithms that use either rules or UC-specific server plug-ins to disambiguate between the two UCs in order to route messages that use the same domain name.
Single Domain Routing
For most federations, UC Exchange routes messages based upon the domain of the destination address. However, for more complex routing scenarios, UC Exchange can support enterprises that require a single (global) externally visible domain whilst having multiple internal domains (any of which can be served by different UCs or even different types of UCs) to which incoming messages must be routed.
Single or Multi-Aliasing
One major problem in migrating from one UC platform to another is the negative impact UC migration has on users. In addition to the new UC platform being incompatible with the existing UC platform, the migration usually requires employees to change their addresses. A merger or acquisition of another company is a great example of where such a situation could arise.
NextPlane's aliasing feature allows organizations to migrate internal users from one UC platform to another UC platform without affecting any of their external federated relationships.

By Paul Martin Newby
For the last eight years, it has been my privilege to serve our state as a justice on the N.C. Supreme Court. I now seek re-election. I have strived to apply the law fairly, impartially and consistently in every case. I have a reputation of being a conservative, hard-working, honest justice, who uses common sense and does not legislate from the bench. My work has resulted in widespread bipartisan support in Cumberland County and across the state, including endorsements from four former chief justices, two of each party, as well as from law enforcement, business and legal groups.
I have been endorsed by the Federation of Independent Business and the North Carolina Chamber of Commerce PACs, being the first statewide judicial candidate to receive their endorsements. In their endorsements, both groups emphasized the importance of having judges who are fair and understand the impact of court decisions on the business environment and job creation in North Carolina.
I was born in Asheboro and grew up in Jamestown, where my mother was a schoolteacher and my dad was a printer - an hourly worker. I was first challenged to consider law as a career through Boy Scouts while earning my Eagle Scout rank. The Boy Scout citizenship merit badge counselor encouraged me to become a lawyer. After graduating from Ragsdale High School, I attended Duke University, and then UNC Law School.
I began my law practice with a firm in Asheville, where I represented individuals, small businesses, buyers and sellers of real estate, and borrowers and lenders. I later served as vice president and general counsel of Cannon Mills Realty and Development Corporation in Kannapolis. In 1985, during the Reagan administration, I was asked to serve as an assistant United States attorney in Raleigh, where I served for over 19 years, doing a wide variety of civil and criminal litigation. While serving as a federal prosecutor, I received the Crime Victims Fund Award for outstanding assistance to victims of crime. In 2004, I was elected to the state Supreme Court.
Because of my legal scholarship and experience, I have been selected to provide continuing education to judges and lawyers and teach law school courses at Campbell Law. I have lectured and written a book on the state constitution and received the Constitutional Rights Award. I believe civic education is important, and frequently speak to school groups and civic organizations.
As an Eagle Scout, I have served the Boy Scouts of North Carolina in a variety of ways, and have been recognized as Scouter of the Year and as a Distinguished Eagle. I have been a Cubmaster and Scoutmaster, and currently serve as an Occoneechee Council vice president. I received the God and Service and Silver Beaver awards as well as the Heroism Award for saving nine people from a riptide.
As a result of my work with schools and Scouts, I received the Citizen-Lawyer Award. In recognition of my professional service, I received the James Iredell Award and an Honorary Doctor of Laws from Southern Wesleyan University. I was selected to teach international groups of judges and lawyers about our state and federal legal systems and the rule of law. In addition to my professional service, I have operated our family farm since 1996.
I have been married to Macon Tucker Newby (formerly of Wilson) since 1983. We have four children. We attend Christ Baptist Church in Raleigh, where I am an elder and youth Sunday school teacher.
I am grateful for the privilege to serve as a justice, and ask for your support in my re-election.

What a day it was high up on the peaks of Dachstein for the 11th edition of the O'Neill Pleasure Jam. With blue skies stretching across the continent and not a hint of wind, it was Sven Thorgren and Isabel Derungs that were crowned the champions.
It's time to turn attention to the QParks Snowboard Tour, which will once again be hosted across Austria, Germany, Switzerland and Italy this winter. It's back and bigger than ever with 10 stops planned over the next 5 months.
Less than 4 week until the O'Neill Pleasure Jam 2013! Get ready with this teaser!
At the O'Neill Roof Battle last Saturday at the Superpark Dachstein, the best riders of the QParks Snowboard Tour battled for the overall Tour victory. In a dramatic final on the rail line, the riders were once again showing off with awesome tricks. Now
A Down Tube/Wallride jib combo, two kickers with 10 and 12 meters each as well as a Quarter Pipe completed the contest setup on Saturday, March 30th 2013, at the QParks Tour Stop La Freestyla.
Jib ahoy at Blue Tomato Kingspark Hochkönig on March 9th 2013. Due to a break in the weather, we saw sick rail action instead of massive airtime. Numerous riders defied the conditions and showed us exciting battles on the rail-line.
Crazy freestyle action at the Snowpark Lenzerheide! More than 50 Snowboarders met up in Switzerland for the QParks showdown "Freestyle Madness". With style and flow all riders went big on the contest line including a gnarly 14m booter.
Wather doen'st matter! Due to the weather conditions, the 10-year-anniversary edition of the legendary Sick Trick Open in Kitzbühel had to be staged on the last jump of the kicker line. The riders nevertheless put on a spectacular show for the audience!
Ladies and gentlemen, a big hand for the Jib Masters 2013, which were crowned at the Bohny Masters Feldberg the last weekend! At brightest bluebird and icy temperatures, almost 50 riders battled for fame, glory and tons of cash and goodies.
At the Battle ROJal Schöneben the young snowboarders fighted for the addmittance to the ROJal family. But only the best aspirants were crowned in the end at bright sunshine and best park conditions!
20cm of fresh snow, bad sight and strong snowfalls! One of two looks for powder the other one stays in bed – but not the snowboarders of the QParks Tour stop Blue Tomato Plan P!
The 10th anniversary edition of the O'Neill Pleasure Jam powered by Opel saw some massive park action! 60 male rider and 20 females took up the challenge and joined on the Dachstein to qualify for the finals. The best 8 girls and the best 18 guys made i
With nine hot stops all over the Alpes QParks Tour heads towards its third season this winter. No entry fee, prize money of over 40.000.- EUR and a lot of action! It's TIME TO SHINE!
Only a few weeks are still between us and the grand season opening at the Dachstein glacier. In a few days' time, a great mix of international and national stars and newcomers will rock the Dachstein at the O'Neill Pleasure Jam powered by Opel.
Who needs good weather for sick rail action? The QParks Tour finalists don't. Despite the drop of temperature and break in the weather, the riders showed a thrilling showdown on the rail line of the Horsefeathers Superpark Dachstein at the QParks Tour f
It always ends where it all began. Right, its time again on May 6th 2012, when all the snowboard finalists of the QParks Tour 2012 will gather at the Horsefeathers Rock the Top. Get ready for one last time DRAMA & GLORY!

Brighton Event Website
It is always great to be involved with any large event, especially when the motivaition is charitable.
The Paddle Round the Pier beach festival in Brighton has been going since 1996, during which time it has raised over £100,000 for charities. The event was conceived by David Samuel of DSA and was originally surfers just paddling around Brighton's Pier to raise funds for charity.
Since then the event has grown in size and popularity to become an internationally reknowned event which is rated by the press and visited by 40,000 people a year – and it is free.
Last year we were involved with the coordination of the Paddle Something Unusual where a series of unlikely floats took to the seas. This year we set out to improve the website. Last year's website was a slick and comprehensive affair but it was not readily editable by the many volunteers who comprise the paddle team.
The Paddle is a social event and so required the facility to bring together all the online threads and make it the focal point of a community.
We built the site using a page structure which echoes the various areas of action such as water events, land events, kids, entertainment and music. The music area of the site was given a custom menu as it is almost an event in its own right. Wordpress' post functionality allows us to add press releases and news in a separate format and with RSS feed generated for simple syndication. Additionaly the website's URL structure was improved upon with clean addresses and a simple navigational structure. We were also able to repoint old web addresses to the new ones via 301 permanent redirection so that bookmarked pages and backlinks could still find the requested content. The site is a rich source of accessible information and is fully SEO optimised.
Social media plugins were implemented on each page to read from the feeds generated by the event's various outlets such as Twitter, YouTube , Facebook and Flickr. We were also able to echo the structure of the Flickr galleries onto the gallery page on the website.
The site's IA (Information Architecture) was agreed upon through meetings with the Volunteer team , A1Surf and DSA ;whilst Mayermedia and Bionic Graphics provided both branding and graphical direction.
The result has been an engaging and feature rich website which allows a disparate team to add content as the festival grows, which looks great.
Further Information is, of course, available at www.paddleroundthepier.com
The event takes place on Hove Lawns, Brighton, East Sussex on the weekend of July 2nd and 3rd this year – 2011
If you are a charity event which wants help in any way with your online ventures then please contact us, if we have free time we will be happy to help.

CNET's back to school gift guide rounds up late summer tech
Believe it: even though the mercury may be inching toward 100 and everyone is still planning beach getaways, school will start in less than six weeks.
For students and their parents, that means now's the time to stock up on school supplies. These days, that means lots of tech: laptops, tablets, phones, and printers, for starters. For college students, the list is even longer: a dorm room needs to be a home away from home, and that includes a TV, sound system, and other amenities.
Don't have kids? Not going to school? I'll let you in on … Read more

Before this trip I thought of Morocco having an arid dusty orange-brown feel to its land. But as I was on the way from Fes to Meknes, I was pleasantly surprised by the various tones of yellows, greens, browns and greys. Hills, mountains, lakes, clustered towns and shallow valleys all make this landscape come alive. Through it all a single tar road leads into the distance.
It's times like this that I wish I could write better, because pictures don't do this scenary justice.
