2014 Italian GP (Monza): Mercedes Formula One F1 Race Preview

2014 Italian GP (Monza): Mercedes Formula One F1 Race Preview
Lewis Hamilton The Italian Grand Prix is always a special one for me in terms of the memories I have there - going right back to my early career. The karting championships used to race in Italy quite often and it's also where I met Nico - so that's where our rivalry really began. Monza is such a historic circuit and to win there is a really special feeling. I had that experience in 2012 and I'd love to do it again in 2014. Last season we really struggled at this race - but we have a fantastic car this year and I'm confident we can make up for it this time around. One thing I always love about racing at Monza is the fans. They're just so passionate about motorsport and the buzz around the place is unbelievable - particularly on the podium. Hopefully we can reward them with some exciting racing. My aim for the weekend, of course, is to claw back the gap in the Drivers' Championship. It's as big as it's been all season so I've got a lot of work ahead of me - but anything can happen in this sport. I won't give up until the flag drops in Abu Dhabi and there's still plenty of points to be won before then, so it's far from over yet.
Nico Rosberg Monza is a circuit I really enjoy going to. Firstly, the history of the place is fantastic and then there's the fans - the Tifosi - who make an incredible atmosphere. I've not had much luck at this race in the past - 2011 in particular where I didn't even make it past the first corner! But this year things are different. We have a great car and with the Mercedes-Benz Hybrid Power Unit behind us I feel confident we can get a really great result. It's still all to play for in the Championship and with the double points race in Abu Dhabi anything can still happen. I'm focused on taking the maximum points possible in the remaining seven races and I know the team is too - starting with a top result this weekend.
Toto Wolff, Head of Mercedes-Benz Motorsport After a tough weekend in Belgium, our attention is now fully focused on the next race at Monza. We have a quick car but we have not delivered our full potential in recent races and that must be our target this weekend. It's no less than the people at Brackley, Brixworth and Stuttgart deserve, with everyone working flat out to ensure we finish the job this season. Of course, Spa was a reminder to us as a team that our competition are never far away and we must continue to tackle every weekend as if it could be the defining moment of our season. Monza is a fantastic venue - a legendary circuit with incredible fans and a truly great standing in motorsport history. When the Silver Arrows first took on the Italian Grand Prix back in the 1950s it could not have been a better story, with victories in both races. We approach this weekend with a repeat of that achievement firmly in our sights.
Paddy Lowe, Executive Director (Technical) Despite the end result, it was encouraging to see the potential of our car in Belgium - both in wet and dry conditions as we saw during qualifying and the race respectively. Spa, of course, brings with it quite unique aerodynamic requirements - also a factor at Monza, which sees the lowest drag configuration of the year. We therefore approach this weekend very much in the hope of showing similar pace to that seen in Spa. Demands on the cars at Monza are numerous and significant - with long straights, tight chicanes and high kerbs making it particularly tough on engines, brakes and suspension. The drivers spend a large portion of the lap at full throttle and temperatures can often be relatively high, so there is plenty to manage in terms of both endurance and setup to maximise performance. It's a fantastic location for a Grand Prix. Weaving through parkland and with many elements of the original layout - including the spectacular high banking - still present as a reminder of the heritage and standing this place holds within world motorsport. The fans too are second to none in terms of their passion and enthusiasm - and that's what makes Formula One such a great sport. The combination of each of these aspects makes it all the more special and satisfying to win at Monza. It's a venue that has produced mixed results for both of our drivers in the past, with last year's race proving to be a tough test for the team as a whole. We fully intend to rectify that this time around.
Autodromo di Monza: The Inside Line
Monza is bellissimo! It's the fastest circuit we get to drive throughout the year and coming across the long start / finish straight you really are absolutely flat out - maybe even approaching 360 km/h with the new Hybrid Power Units. It's a very technical track which is all about late braking, riding and bouncing off the kerbs... it's pretty spectacular!
Finding the braking point into Turn One is not easy. You generally run a lot less downforce on the car at this circuit and you're arriving at much higher speed, so braking distances change quite a bit. Of course, this year we have less downforce at the rear of the car anyway, so that will make it even trickier.
You have to position yourself nice and straight coming out of Turn Three as, once again, braking into Turn Four is tricky. The front of the car gets quite light on the way into the corner and the exit kerb is really bumpy, which loses you a lot of traction. Into the two Lesmo curves and you're now driving through the shadows thanks to the trees above the track. For both of these, you need to get the front hugged in and then nail the exit - especially out of the second corner as there's a long straight immediately afterwards.
This straight is interesting for a number of reasons. There's the first DRS zone of the lap, it's quite narrow at the start and there's a crest in the middle of the track which means the car is bumping and bouncing all the way down to the Ascari chicane. Turn Eight is really difficult - important not to take too much of the corner on the way in but crucial to maintain as much speed as possible for the run down the next straight to the Parabolica.
The final corner is really misleading, as you carry so much speed into here and it feels like the car has turned. You then have to be fully committed once you get on the power as any lift will lose you so much time across the start / finish line and back into the first corner of a new lap where it's easiest to overtake.
The Monza circuit as a venue is very unique - very special. It's the most high-speed track on the calendar and, with the new Hybrid Power Units, we'll be going even faster this year - maybe in excess of 350 km/h which is just a crazy number! There aren't many circuits where we even use eighth gear but here we'll definitely be using it - and using all of it. That's almost what it's made for - just so you can carry maximum speed all the way to the end of the Monza straight.
There's always a lot of action in the race at Monza as there are so many long straights, so we usually see a lot of overtaking. The most difficult part to get right is actually the first chicane, as it's such a hard braking zone and then a really tight sequence of corners to the right and then immediately hard back to the left again. It may not look so difficult from the outside but if you don't get your braking 100% right you can lose a lot of time there.
On the Pit Wall
Monza will see the highest straight line speeds of any circuit on the calendar. However, there is still a compromise to be found between drag and downforce. Drivers must achieve high exit speeds from the final corner, the Parabolica, and carrying that momentum all the way down the long start / finish straight into Turn One. The higher the exit speed and the better that momentum is maintained, the greater peak speed on the straight will be. The new Hybrid formula introduced for 2014 has produced Power Units which accelerate right through the range, meaning that speed can be built all the way to the end of the straight - whereas in previous years in may have flattened off a little. Interestingly, though, what has been seen so far in 2014 demonstrates that top speed is not necessarily defined by the length of a straight - but by the exit speed carried out of the preceding corner. When assessing wing choices for Monza, the differential between low and high drag in terms of ultimate lap time is surprisingly flat. Of course, top speed is important due to the length and quantity of straights. However, the exit of the Parabolica, plus the requirements of the Ascari and Lesmo Curves, call for good apex speed - which indicates a need for downforce. This creates an interesting dynamic in terms of where you are racing in the pack - one that is very difficult to optimise and will see drivers trialling various options in practice. If two cars of equal performance are set up with a 20 km/h difference in straight line speed, however, the driver with less drag will always be able to make his way past. More often than not, this will lead teams to adopt the low drag philosophy in order to avoid being swallowed up in the race.
Alongside Spa, Monza sits at the very peak of the scale in terms of the demands placed on engines. Sustaining full throttle for a large portion of the lap, the engines run within a very different operating regime to that seen at most other venues - high loads and high RPM for extended periods of time. At these circuits and at this point in the season, those who are treading a fine line in terms of engine life cycle may well suffer.
Previous seasons have seen a mixture of one, two and even three stop strategies. However, this year's allocation of the hard and medium compound remains the same as that of 2013, where almost the entire field adopted a one stop strategy. The reason for nominating the two hardest compounds is that potential top speeds at Monza are extremely high - potentially to the tune of 360 km/h with the 2014 Power Units - and are sustained for a significant period of time. The most durable rubber available is therefore required to cope with such forces. One of the many interesting features of Monza is also the quantity of traction events - especially out of Turns Two and Five. Overtaking in these areas is often prevalent as a result, but this characteristic also places high demands on the rear tyres. Conversely, the front tyres have a relatively low amount of energy worked through them - but spend a lot of time being cooled down by straight line air flow. Maintaining temperature in the front tyres is therefore a challenge and drivers are often seen weaving a lot to achieve this - particularly in qualifying.
Cars need to be able to ride the kerbs at Monza - through the chicanes at Turn One / Two and Four / Five in particular. Adapting to this requirement should not affect the performance of the car around the rest of the circuit, however those who find the best suspension setup to manage the kerbs will gain a significant amount of time through the first sector. The opening phase of the lap does require good straight line speed - but is more affected by how hard the driver can hit the kerbs.
Monza is one of the more straightforward tracks on the calendar in terms of overtaking. However, the cars are absolutely on the limit of braking as the drivers decelerate into Turn One - with some of the highest levels of longitudinal g-force seen at any circuit coming into play. As a result, mistakes are often seen into the first corner - particularly early in the weekend. This is all part of what makes Monza interesting, as it creates a very dynamic situation where drivers are able to carve their way from the rear to the front of the field. The effect of DRS, however, is dramatically reduced compared to most other circuits. With cars erring towards a low downforce setup, there is less drag to shed from the rear wing.
Safety Cars
Safety Car probability has traditionally been relatively high at Monza in both wet and dry conditions - making appearances in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2011. Despite not featuring in either of the past two seasons, the characteristics of the circuit do lend themselves to incident - both in terms of the track action and reliability. As mentioned previously, the demands on both tyres and engines are extremely high, resulting in an elevated attrition rate from a mechanical perspective. Then, there's the main overtaking zone - the first chicane. Drivers are braking from exceptionally high speeds into a very tight right hander that turns through more than 90 degrees, then back into very much the same severity to the left. To make a pass stick the driver must be fully committed to the move as, once again, the cars are on the limit in terms of braking. This naturally leads to incidents.
Weather conditions have traditionally been consistent at Monza. Ambient temperatures usually sit around the mid-twenties with track temperatures at a similarly manageable level, meaning cooling should not be a key consideration. There are, however, seasonal considerations specific to Monza which can have an effect. Much of the circuit is lined with trees which, given the September calendar slot, will inevitably lead to a build-up of leaves and other debris in the sidepod radiator grills. A car which may not have been marginal on temperature may well lose a few degrees of cooling
as a result - often requiring alterations to pit stop procedure in order to give the crew a chance to reach in and clear away the debris. Furthermore, in drying conditions, the tree cover results in certain parts of the track drying out more slowly than the rest of the circuit. This is most prominent through the Lesmo curves, which can catch drivers out during early laps on the slick tyres.
One characteristic that always stands out in Monza is the fans, who are allowed to camp around the circuit and can be seen enjoying themselves throughout the day and late into the evening on a race weekend. They may often have a natural inclination towards a certain team in particular, but there is little animosity as they enjoy Formula One and the make it a big part of their lives. It doesn't matter if a team is first or last - the fans are there for the show and create a fantastic atmosphere for everyone involved.

Clogau Gold Limited have written to the Crown Commissioners to negotiate a new lease on the famous Clogau St David's gold mine.
The mine, above Bontddu near Dolgellau closed in 1998.
Managing director William Roberts, said it was a risk to reopen as there was no guarantee gold would be found.
"There will be a number of health and safety issues to address and all the equipment was cleared from the mine when it closed in 1998," said Mr Roberts.
The company say the current high price of gold and new technology has encouraged them to look at re-opening the mine.
It could create around 10 jobs.
Gold from Clogau has been used for many royal wedding rings.
The Queen, the Prince of Wales, Princess Margaret and the Queen Mother all had their rings crafted from gold extracted from the Clogau St David's mine.
Clogau Gold, is an established jewellery brand which uses its stockpile of Welsh gold in most of its collections.
Despite the new technology there was still uncertainty.
"We do not know if there is any gold remaining. It could be an inch away, or a mile, that's the risk," Mr Roberts added.
In January 2005 Clogau Gold of Wales switched production of gold jewellery from north Wales to China.
The company had previously moved production of its silver jewellery items from its Bodelwyddan base in north Wales to the Far East.
Company representatives said it was transferring work to the large Chinese factory to keep up with demand.

Gag grouper closing: The limited time to catch black or gag grouper has created an urgency among anglers. The season closes Tuesday.
Where are they? As the water temperatures have fallen with the most recent cold fronts, grouper have moved close to shore. Start your search in depths of 30 to 40 feet. Shallow-water fishing has proven to be excellent, a recent trip to 32 feet produced fish. However, 36 feet produced the best results as we boated five big gags on one stop in just 15 minutes. Sardine and squid combinations worked well, but large live pinfish were the bait of choice. Water clarity might be an issue. In dirty water, dead bait is best; in clean water, live bait works. According to tides4fishing.com; today's best fishing should be between the hours of 3 and 5 p.m.
The hunt for king mackerel: Several reports of kingfish around "The Ditch" had many people, including charter boat captains, heading south. Our most recent trip there was spotty, at best. But expect kingfish schools to be on the move from day to day. They might be in one spot on a particular day and the next they are in motion. The key is to find bait schools on the surface. Kings should be nearby.

Further, our renewed focus on acquisitions of producing properties and our interest in obtaining outside participation in certain of our drilling activities and acquisitions of drilling locations could have an impact on the 2013 approved capital budget. We will update our capital spending plans on a quarterly basis during the year.Haynesville/Bossier Shale Our horizontal Haynesville shale development program continues to be a significant asset for EXCO and continues to yield strong results. As of December 31, 2012, our Haynesville/Bossier shale operated production was 1,096 Mmcf per day gross (328.1 Mmcf per day net) and with the addition of production from our OBO wells, we had 353.0 Mmcf per day net of total Haynesville/Bossier shale production. In response to low natural gas prices, we have significantly reduced our drilling program. In 2011, we had 22 operated rigs in the Haynesville/Bossier shale play at our peak. We began to reduce our rig count in late 2011 and currently have three operated rigs drilling in the play. We will continue to assess product pricing and project economics to make further decisions on rig count. Our development drilling program for 2012 focused in DeSoto Parish, Louisiana where we continued our 80-acre spacing manufacturing program. We currently have 34 units fully developed in the Haynesville in DeSoto Parish. During 2012, we drilled 58 gross (21.8 net) operated wells in the Haynesville/Bosser shale play. We drilled and completed 20 gross (5.9 net) operated Haynesville horizontal wells and participated in 1 gross (0.2 net) OBO Haynesville horizontal well during the fourth quarter 2012. We utilized an average of five operated rigs and spud 10 operated horizontal wells during the quarter. We currently have no OBO rigs drilling. In total, we have 378 operated horizontal wells and 178 OBO horizontal wells flowing to sales.

The three female singers will be performing for a live concert along with Sugarland, and Paramore will be visiting the troops in the Middle East.
A year after the first revived VH1 Divas concert, the network decides it's time to bring the iconic event to America's troops and their families. Partnering with USO (United States Organizations), they recruited Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj and Keri Hilson for the troops salute.
They will be performing in front of men and women in uniform at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in San Diego. Dubbed "VH1 Divas Salute the Troops", the event which will also feature performance from Sugarland premieres on Sunday, December 5 at 9:00 PM ET/PT.
"I get to be among so many other influential women, groundbreaking women, strong, powerful, confident women, not only on that day, but just to be a part of the legacy of VH1 Divas," Hilson said. Sugarland's member Jennifer Nettles added, "All of these women definitely have a larger than life persona, be it on stage or who they are or what they wear. I think there's something to be said for celebrating that."
Beside holding live concert Stateside with plan for international broadcast, this year's VH1 Divas will take the effort overseas to thank troops serving in remote locations. Paramore are tapped to visit Marines, soldiers, airmen, sailors, coastguardsmen and reservists stationed at an undisclosed military base in the Middle East.

Who doesn't worry about exams? Discussed frequently in IET Forums, they elicit strong feelings as people become desperate for qualifications. But desperation can lead to cheating and, even worse, fraud, reports Ralph Adam.
As someone who has supervised many university exams, I am constantly amazed at candidates' efforts to get that elusive diploma - sometimes going to great lengths for an advantage that may show little return. Recently, a smartly-dressed MBA student microformed her notes, hiding them under the question paper only to choose the wrong moment to sneak a look - just when an invigilator was passing. Worth the effort? She could have put it to better use and would probably have passed the exam anyway, instead of being disqualified.
We assume that, as long as exams have existed, candidates have cheated. Nowadays information technology allows people to challenge security measures by, for example, communicating with confederates outside the room or paying others: in 2010 a Warwick student was jailed for employing an impersonator after an eagle-eyed invigilator queried an identity photo. Electronic equipment suitable for exam fraud is openly advertised on the Web with videos illustrating tricks for fooling examiners. Universities are increasingly employing 'integrity' specialists, while the biometric testing of candidates is being discussed now that ID verification software is available.
Cambridge ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) papers seem particularly incident-prone and the University takes extreme measures to protect them. There are stories of papers being seized and subsequently ransomed by armed South American guerillas, rats eating consignments of papers, questions being given out on Greek TV and, even, of a parrot, also in Greece, flying through an open window, stealing a question paper and dropping it on a passing teacher who then read out the answers! Indeed, Greek exams have had to be flown by the RAF from military airports, parachuted-in by the SAS and kept under armed guard in secret locations (one rumour suggests the Parliament building) under the eyes of elite army regiments.
A Dutch research team suggests that, while fraud is common in traditional paper-based exams, it is even more likely in online ones which are often tied-in to electronic learning management systems (LMSs), many of which require Internet access. During exams it is impossible to continuously monitor every PC: for example, technical problems need resolution and scripts require collecting. Many tricks have been tried - 'skinning' (hiding or disguising chat and instant-messaging programs on the desktop or in the task-bar), uploading questions and sharing answers on students' home pages through FTP programs, emailing information, 'spoofing' a computer's IP address, adding chat features to the LMS or, even, creating a dummy website resembling the question paper (with answers). Such programs are unlikely to be spotted by invigilators.
The Dutch team suggested a network security model incorporating several digital remedies for countering exam cheats. These include checking which programs are running, measuring traffic levels, monitoring candidates' screens, searching for, and stripping out, superfluous software, installing upstream firewalls and, of course, training network staff. But cheating is not that common: is such high-tech really necessary?

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 3/6/2011 (2271 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
A wonderful person started a Facebook site called Winnipeg Lost Dog Alert, where people who have lost their dog can post information.
The volunteers on this site are incredible. They will cross-post lost dog information immediately with other dog sites and friends so that hundreds of people get your message. They give tips to owners to help find their dogs, provide pre-prepared lost-dog posters plus a checklist of what owners can do to help find their dog. They even organize active searches for dogs.
I have experienced the success of their efforts. These incredible volunteers go out rain and shine to help find a lost dog.
Thank you Winnipeg Lost Dog Alert for what you do.

FX Canada has a younger sibling.
Rogers Media announced Tuesday morning that it is launching FXX, a younger-skewing companion network to FX Canada. The move mirrors the strategy employed by U.S. cable's FX network, which added FXX to its channel roster last summer.
FXX, which is aimed at the 18-to-34 demographic, will launch on April 1, and will be the home of such titles as It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Legit, Wilfred and The League, as well as new productions such as Chozen, an animated comedy from the producers of the HBO series Eastbound & Down, and Fargo, a limited-run drama inspired by the hit 1996 Coen brothers feature film.
Fargo was shot in and around Calgary, after that city was chosen over Winnipeg as a production location.
"Our strong partnership with FX Networks has allowed us to broadcast world-class content to our Canadian audiences through FX Canada, and we are proud to further strengthen this relationship with FXX," said Scott Moore, present of broadcasting for Rogers Media.
After its April 1 launch, FXX will be available on a free-preview basis until June 30.

Seniors claim victory in Battle of the Titans
Dave A. Vance, firstname.lastname@example.com
The American Legion Titans senior and junior baseball teams faced one another Friday night to kick off the three-day Ellis County Futures Tournament. The seniors came back to defeat the juniors 7-4 after trailing by two runs in the fourth inning "It was a good win, especially to come out here against a younger team," senior Ryan Woods said. "They impressed me. They came out throwing punches. Great job by them."
Senior starting pitcher Jason Waldeck (3 IP, 8 H, 4R — 4 ER, 3 W, 5 K) gave up eight hits and four runs during his time on the mound. Ryan Woods (4 IP, 1 W, 3K) took over during the fourth inning to hold the juniors the remainder of the game.

SACRAMENTO - Beets and lettuce are 8-year-old Jasmine Tran's favorite vegetables.
"[Beets] can make your hands really red when you eat them," Jasmine said with a big smile. "It's kind of fun."
Her classmate 8-year-old Cailey Vetter Chittood doesn't have a favorite vegetable, but loves apples.
"My favorite one is the pink lady, that's the name of the apple; it's the sweetest apple," Cailey said.
The Capitol Heights Academy third graders are part of the after-school California Food Literacy Center program. The weekly classes teach elementary-age students about eating healthy. The non-profit organization is also part of after-school programs at Florin Elementary School and Pacific Elementary School. In addition, the center works with Sacramento Public Library branches to hold free hands-on cooking lessons for elementary school students who don't attend one of the three schools.
"These kids are growing up with a broader food literacy base than many adults right now, which is why we want to start young and start with this generation," California Food Literacy Center Founding Executive Director Amber Stott said. "So we have a whole new generation of kids that this is basic knowledge -- this isn't new, this isn't foreign. This is just how we live and how we eat and what we know."
Stott was a food blogger before she founded the literacy center in 2011. She had worked in non-profit management and had a special interest in the food system. When she started blogging in 2008, she got a good response from readers.
"(I) was getting a lot of positive feedback from people about how simple and practical some of my suggestions were, and it was really changing their lives," Stott recalled. "For me, what I was putting on my blog wasn't complicated, but the amount of impact it was having on people really left an impression on me; and I thought, 'wow, we really need to be doing this on a bigger scale -- in schools and reaching kids before those bad habits have already taken hold.' So I just, sort of, decided to go for it and started the non-profit."
The California Food Literacy Center is still young but continues to grow. In the center's first year it raised $40,000; in 2013, it raised $130,000. Stott hopes to secure more grants and sponsorships; she wants to garner community support through donations and volunteers to expand the after-school and library programs.
"We're a super focused non-profit, which is, I think, our strength and why we are successful with the programs that we run," Stott said. "We have just two programs: one is training community members as food literacy instructors, and the second is teaching elementary school kids. So the way we will scale and grow is by training more food literacy instructors, and the more of those we have, the more schools we can go into to."
The program has grown to serve more than 2,500 children.
"You get to learn new things, you get to try new things, you get to eat," Cailey said as she explained what she likes about food literacy class. "And we get to hear fun facts and we would always do these activities."
In the after-school program, students are taught by volunteers - or, as Stott calls them, "food geniuses." The food literacy center has only two paid employees who manage the administrative end of the non-profit. Stott said the second employee was hired this year. The rest of the program is dependent on volunteers.
MORE: Learn how to become a food literacy instructor
The "food geniuses" arrive at the school 30 minutes before the 2 p.m. class starts to prepare for the lesson. They go over flash cards and worksheets, and then prepare the food - the majority of which is donated by the Sacramento Food Bank or Soil Born Farms. Lessons could be about a produce and where it comes from or a cooking lesson with a basic and simple recipe.
"We assume that kids will only eat nuggets and macaroni and cheese, and that's just not true," Stott said. "We see results with our kids, especially the K-1 (students), within a month of being there. We see these kids happily gobbling up anything that we hand them. And it's just a matter of re-creating a healthy habit for them. Kids want to eat and have fun with their food. And when you approach it with a fun and excited attitude, they respond to that."
The students will try kale, radishes, pomegranates, a variety of fruits and all the 'green food' you think children wouldn't like during class throughout the year.
"It's all about giving kids repeat exposure to new and different kinds of things," Stott explained. "We've given the kids endive and dates and fennel, and it's just all about helping them form those habits, by giving them repeat exposure because the more they see these different kinds of foods, the less weird it becomes. They become little food adventurers, where when they see something new, they go, 'oo, I want to try that,' rather than, 'oh, that's new I better be afraid of it.'"
Students also learn how food is processed in the body and how to prepare a healthy meal. And when class ends ...
"They give out fruits," Jasmine explained about one of her favorite parts of class. "Because once you get to know all the stuff you need to know, then you can have a little snack to eat."

A 57-year-old doctor and professor in an advanced stage of Parkinsons disease committed suicide by jumping off the fourth floor of the Indian Institute of Health and Hygiene on CR Avenue on Tuesday afternoon.
Ranadeb Biswas, who headed the department of preventive and social medicine at the institute, was found lying dead on adjoining Colootola Street. We have not found any suicide note but preliminary investigation suggests he committed suicide, said a police officer.
Ranadebs wife Kanta, also a doctor, said he had been suffering from the disease for six years. The couple have a daughter, who is in the first year of college.
The Teghoria resident jumped to his death while his caretaker, who used to help him on to his wheelchair, had gone for lunch. I left him in his department on the second floor. He was better on Tuesday and did not need a wheelchair, said the caretaker.
An employee of the institute saw the doctor walk slowly to the elevator. On being asked, Biswas said he was going to the fourth floor to take a class. Another colleague saw him walk across the corridor on the fourth floor smoking. Several cigarette butts were found near the window through which he had jumped.
Police said the family did not suspect foul play and did not lodge any complaint.

Chattooga Search On Hold
The heavy rains again today have postponed recovery efforts on the Chattooga River. The river's flows are above 2 feet and the rain continues to fall. The Incident Command Team met yesterday morning to re-evaluate the ongoing operations and because of the uncertainty of the river flows and the weather, efforts will be on hold again today. Meanwhile, crews continute to hike into the Five Falls Area to conduct shoreline search efforts. Scott Krein, Oconee County Emergency Management Director says the next time the river flows are sustained below 2 feet, in-water operations will continue. He went on to say "It's frustrating when we're forced to suspend operations because of things beyond our control." He went on to say, "there is a family in Florida depending on us. We hate to let them down."

Orlando Bloom Is Not Your Average Romeo
Whether playing a blond-haired, blue-eyed elf or Romeo, the original heartthrob himself, Orlando Bloom has always quickened pulses. But, as Mickey Rapkin learns, when it comes to the spiritual Brit's own passion plays, mellow is his mantra
That Orlando Bloom is starring in Romeo and Juliet on Broadway makes sense, despite his age. (He's 36, while Romeo is traditionally a teenage character.) Bloom's beauty is so ethereal, one could easily imagine a young woman giving her life for it. It has been ever thus. Days before graduating drama school, Bloom was cast as the dreamy elf-prince Legolas in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which he followed with a turn as Johnny Depp's protégé in Pirates of the Caribbean. His reputation for romancing leading ladies such as Kirsten Dunst, Kate Bosworth, and Penélope Cruz quickly cemented his lothario status. As the actor says now, "Love is what we aspire to most in our lives." Bloom, a Buddhist, wears that boyish optimism well, which is a good thing, since he's single again. In October, he and his wife, Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr, announced their separation. (For once, a split seems believably amicable, with the couple photographed with their two-year-old son two days later.) This holiday season, Bloom returns to Middle-earth for a sequel to The Hobbit. Herein, a heroic and Shakespearean discussion of love.

Leeds - Sri Lanka were once again left relying on batting greats Kumar Sangakara and Mahela Jayawardene to rebuild their innings after England removed both openers on the first morning of the second Test at Headingley on Friday.
At lunch, Sri Lanka were 74 for two with Sangakkara, fresh from his century in the drawn first Test of this two-match series at Lord's, 16 not out and Jayawardene six not out.
With overcast conditions at Headingley traditionally aiding swing bowlers, it was no surprise that England captain Alastair Cook opted to field first after winning the toss under grey skies.
England, on a far more docile pitch, had come within one wicket of victory at Lord's on Monday and Cook clearly had high hopes of his unchanged attack.
Yet Sri Lanka somehow got through the first hour without losing a wicket despite James Anderson and Stuart Broad repeatedly beating the outside edge.
But Kaushal Silva fell for 13 when caught behind by Matt Prior off a full-length Anderson delivery.
England had a chance to run out Sangakarra for nought after he set off for a single that wasn't on and was sent back.
However, wicketkeeper Prior failed to gather Broad's shy at the stumps from mid-on.
Anderson, after a fine spell of one for 16 in 10 overs, was replaced by fast bowler Liam Plunkett.
On his Yorkshire home ground, Plunkett struck second ball when, from around the wicket, he knocked over left-hander Dimuth Karunaratne's leg-stump with a delivery that swung sharply.
Ian Bell nearly marked his 100th Test appearance with a spectacular catch when, at leg slip, he did well to get both hands to a full-blooded pull by Jayawardene off Plunkett only for the ball to burst through his grasp.

The Contemporary Art Fair NYC Moves to Chelsea this Year, Now thru 5/11
The Contemporary Art Fair NYC, today, May 8-May 11, 2014, moves to the heart of Chelsea joining at least 10 other events around the city that also amplify and coincide with the international contemporary art fair--Frieze New York. "We've set a high bar for the 100 exhibitors in this juried show in its fifth year, in 20,000 square feet at The Tunnel," said Richard Rothbard, art fair co-founder and co-producer, with his wife Joanna Rothbard.
"We curate this fair to exhibit master-quality work, yet we distinguish it in other essential ways," he continued. "Following the tradition of major museums, seasoned masters will exhibit both functional and fine art, sculpture and photography. We acknowledge the timeless oeuvre of glassmakers and cabinet makers, innovative ceramists, weavers, wood and metalworkers and jewelers whose textiles, ironwork, furniture, fashion and decorative accessories are tomorrow's heirlooms. In our 30+ years producing events that spotlight and support artists, this interplay of artistic skills and perspective has clearly enhanced and elevated the artisanship of each.
"In addition, we commit to independent artists without art gallery representation. Visitors will meet the artists-not their agents-and discover the inspirations for their one-of-a-kind work. While the mega shows are prohibitively expensive for most artists, our mission is to provide an elegant showcase, at reasonable cost, to give artists a viewing and collectors, museum curators and gallery directors the opportunity to meet and identify the artists well on their journey to international recognition," Rothbard concluded.
Visit Contemporary Art Fair NYC, http://www.americanartmarketing.com/
Where:Tunnel, 269 11th Ave. at 27th Street, New York, NY 10001
Hours:Thursday, May 8th, 5pm-8pm Friday, May 9th, 11am-8pm Saturday, May 10, 11am-8pm Sunday, May 11, 11am-5pm

Raleigh, N.C. – Since PPP last polled on Sherrod Brown's re-election bid in March, the freshman Ohio Senator's chances of earning a second term have remained formidable, beating any Republican thrown at him by 17-21 points, up from 15-19 two months ago. Last Friday's release showed former Secretary of State Ken Blackwell as Republicans' overwhelming current preference for their nomination, but tested for the first time against Brown, even he cannot come any closer to toppling the incumbent at this early stage.

Robert Gignac turns the table and interviews Chevreau about Findependence Day
Welcome to www.FinancialIndependenceHub.com and sister site www.findependence.tv!
The site is a North American portal site dedicated to all things related to Financial Independence: blogs, books, podcasts, discussion forums, web videos and the like.
We are not a site about Personal Finance. Personal Finance is all about tactics, not long-term strategy. We are not a site about Retirement. We believe there is a profound difference between the traditional concept of "Retirement" and our notion of "Financial Independence" or (the short form): Findependence. We are also unveiling a mirror site to help save a few keystrokes: www.findependencehub.com, once we succeed in introducing the new term "Findependence" as a popular contraction of Financial Independence.
The philosophy of Findependence is outlined in two traditional books published in 2008 and 2013: the Canadian and American editions of Findependence Day. You can find these books at another sister site that has been around for several years now: www.findependenceday.com.
Findependence Day is simply Financial Independence Day: the day that all sources of income exceed what you can earn from the single source of income known as an employer.
You can also find more about the concept of Findependence in two new Kindle e-books that are being launched at the same time as the new Hub. They are titled "A Novel Approach to Financial Independence: How to reach your Findependence Day … While you're still young enough to enjoy it."
The American edition of "A Novel Approach" launches on Amazon.com as a Kindle e-book for US $2.99 on Tuesday, November 4, 2014, and you can find it here. The Canadian edition of the same e-book launches three weeks later: on Nov. 24, 2014. It costs C$3.36 and can be pre-ordered now here.
So what can you find on the Hub? There are many websites, blogs, books and other materials that relate to the topic of financial independence. If they exhibit a certain high quality of content and objectivity, we're happy to include them in sections and links of the site, even if some might regard them as "competitors." If prize-winning writers for MoneySense like David Aston have produced quality journalism, we're happy to link to it, as we are to the Globe and Mail's Rob Carrick, the Wall Street Journal's Jason Zweig and … well, you get the idea.
Certainly, you will find a blog written by the Hub's Chief Findependence Author: Jonathan Chevreau, a veteran financial writer who was the Financial Post's personal finance columnist for 19 years, and the Editor-in-Chief of MoneySense Magazine for two years after that, until he declared his personal Findependence Day on May 20, 2014. Like the blog that has been around since 2011, the blog will be updated two or three times a week.
You will also find guest blogs and columns by various financial journalists and investment advisers who share the "Findependence" philosophy. There will be many reviews of books on this topic, and a scrolling news feed based on the various Twitter lists curated by @JonChevreau. We plan to provide links to many of Jon's financial independence columns originally written for the Financial Post, MoneySense, Motley Fool and InvestorEd.ca's GettingSmarterAboutMoney.ca. There will be a monthly e-newsletter that will summarize the best content of the previous month, with special offers from time to time.
You'll also find a discussion forum, or rather five mini forums devoted to the five major stages of Financial Independence, ranging from young people still in debt to those nearing Findependence, and even seniors now in the state that has been described as Traditional Retirement.

Author: The Wealthy Boomer & Findependence Day.

Reviews of first edition:
"A welcome read both north and south of the 49th parallel." Click here for full review. – Richard Vetter, CFP, Richmond News
"Having some fun while learning what's good for you is a double win — particularly learning what we all need to know to live happier lives." – Charles Ellis, author of Winning the Loser's Game
"Fans of The Wealthy Barber will love this book – the characters are more complex, we see them deal with real-life situations like twins, layoffs, family squabbles over inheritance, separation etc. and the plot has more depth."
– Canadian Capitalist
"Very suspense filled and a page turner. It's like The Wealthy Barber on speed and made modern." Click here for review/reader comments — Boomer & Echo blog
"The book that takes over where the Wealthy Barber left off … I have been totally recommending to friends to buy for their children in their twenties as well as reading it themselves." Click here for review. – Meredyth Kezar, Late Literacy Blog
"This is a great book. Jonathan Chevreau, a long-time writer with the National Post shows off his skilful array of story-weaving and financial education. Whether you prefer fiction or finance, I think you'll enjoy Findependence Day." Click here for full review. — Andrew Hallam, author, Millionaire Teacher.
"By the time I got a third of the way through the book, I was hooked on the story …. enough to read the latter two-thirds in a single sitting on a lazy Sunday morning." Click here for full review. — Michael James on Money blog
"Educational and insightful as well as entertaining. At one level, Findependence Day is of interest to [those] who want to raise their awareness of financial planning issues but who find conventional non-fiction books a tough slog. At another, it's a tale of people and relationships and goals and aspirations, which ultimately is what investing and personal finance is all about." — Morningstar Canada
"Chevreau has a wonderful way with words as he crafts an intelligible overview of financial planning and money management that is seamlessly interwoven into his yarn. Chevreau's swift economical novel with its underlying tidal flow tells us more about the harrowing economic situation of many couples today than volumes of social history." Click here for full review.
– Norman Goldman, Editor, Bookpleasures
"Thanks for writing Findependence Day. I really like the format of how you followed Jamie and Sheena through the various stages of life. I am 35 and could relate to many of the challenges they encountered with raising a young family, saving for retirement, moving up, investing, etc. It took me just a few days to finish and I could hardly wait to see what would happen next. My wife said I couldn't put the book down because it was more like fiction (non-fiction is 99.9% of the stuff I read). Either way, many of the stories hit home for me and it offered some new ideas that I am implementing in my own life." — Brian Creed, Calgary.

A woman who was once too scared to pursue her dream of becoming a rabbi has finally realised her ambition at a Whetstone synagogue.
Judith Levitt took on her new role at the Sha'rei Tsedek Synagogue in Oakleigh Road, Whestone, this week.
The 36-year-old decided she wanted to become a rabbi when she was a teenager – but did not share her dream with anyone out of fear.
After graduating from Sheffield University with an English degree, she moved to Canada to work for a Jewish centre, hoping to muster up the confidence to apply for rabbinical school.
She said: "I thought people would think it was weird for me to become a rabbi, so I do anything about it.
"But when I was in Canada a colleague left an application form for rabbinical school on my desk and said 'you won't ever be happy until you fill this out'.
"It was a turning point for me. I'd have got there eventually, but not as quickly. It was a lovely feeling knowing someone had faith in me and I couldn't wait to apply."
Ms Levitt returned to her family home in Totteridge and spent a gruelling three days undergoing "intense" interviews at the Leo Baeck College in Finchley.
She graduated from the rabbinical college in 2009, and took on a job at a synagogue in St John's Wood and later, a role in Knightsbridge.
The now Finchley resident is excited about her new job and hopes to work on a number of interfaith projects with nearby churches and mosques.
She will be one of three rabbis at the synagogue, joining Rabbi Colin Eimer and Rabbi James Baaden.
She added: "I'd like to offer inspiring services for adults and children as well as helping out with social action projects. As a rabbi, I'd like to make a difference to the community.
"I paint and write in my spare time and hope to bring my love of art and literature into adult education in the community.
"It's important to support new and upcoming rabbis – if there are any other women interested, don't be afraid to follow your dream."

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I was on my motor cycle and some guy almost hit me cutting me off i passed him and my wife gave him the "hands in the air what are you thinking come on act" he started driving aggressively behind me honking the horn and followed me off an exit where we were going to eat. I pulled over to see what his deal was and gave him a peace of my mind, as I started walking back to my motor cycle he got out of his car and headed towards me I turned around and we had a verbal argument he was bumping into me with his chest he was so close so I pushed him back. can he sue? he has called the police.. what should I do?I dont have any charges or even a speeding ticket on my record im 47
Consult with and retain a lawyer. If you are contacted by the police, direct them to your lawyer. An experienced, competent criminal defense lawyer should know how to "run interference" for you with the police, and possibly even head off a criminal accusation. Even if he/she is unable to do that, there is no reason for you to talk to the police. Their job is to establish probable cause without your statements. If they can't do that, then you can't be charged. If what you are saying is correct, the "other guy" won't have any bruising or other signs of assault, and without that, all the officers have is his word, and no physical evidence. You do not need to assist the police by saying something which might be misconstrued against you.
Further, should you be charged, your attorney may be able to discuss your version of what happened with a prosecutor, by making a special kind of proffer which cannot be misconstrued or used against you.
Ultimately, if you are charged with any criminal offense, you may tell the court what happened at the appropriate time, from the witness stand.Ask a similar question
I'm licensed in CA only, and you should always check with local counsel. Having said that, anytime someone suspected of criminal conduct speaks to the police, thinking they'll win law enforcement over to their viewpoint, things rarely turn out that way...If there are any additional witnesses other than your wife, get their names and contact information, to preserve in the event anything comes of the incident. The statement that you pushed him is an admission which can be used against you, even though you're thinking you did it in self defense. If the matter really is as minor as you've stated, I can't see law enforcement spending time and resources on it (but that's no guarantee they won't) - and it certainly doesn't seem serious enough you'd be looking at being arrested for. So, if you are contacted by police, be aware of the fact that "anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law". If you have an attorney, all questions should be directed to him or her. Good Luck & God Bless.Ask a similar question

ICFA Establishes Federal Political Action Committee
by Robert M. Fells, Esq., general counsel
Among the highlights at the 2003 ICFA Annual Convention & Exposition, President Bill Wright, CCE, announced establishment of an ICFA federal political action committee (PAC). The purpose of the ICFA PAC is to "promote effective political relationships with members of Congress," according to its mission statement. The PAC directly supports a specific goal of the ICFA mission statement, which calls for "pro-active leadership on legislative, regulatory and legal issues."
An initial contribution to the ICFA PAC has been given by the Service Corporation International PAC, which donated $5,000, the maximum amount allowed by law. A PAC Fundraising Committee has been established and is chaired by ICFA Past President Arlie T. Davenport Jr. and includes many prominent ICFA members. More details will be provided as the committee's work progresses.

The owner of a farm in Hampshire is celebrating the arrival of rare twin foals!
Their mum, a 17-year-old mare called Love Me Do, surprised everyone with the birth of the twins.
It is really unusual for a horse to have two healthy foals at once. The chances are about one in 10,000, according to the British Horse Society.
Their dad is a showjumping stallion called Cavy's Boy, but the foals haven't been given names yet.

Might I just say that Sister Abigail is probably my favorite name for a finisher ever.
It's time to be obvious: this guy is a promo god.
THANK GOD! I was afraid Michael Cole might rename it to something horrible like "The Kiss Goodnight" or something.
He just needs to work out how to do it properly, because he made an absolute mess of it on Raw.
So the Wyatt family is the new flavour of the month. Can't say anything bad about them on IWC so I will say at least he's improved since the husky Harris days.
Great promo, as always.
But Wyatt needs to start delivering in the ring.
[π: WWPID?] ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Put him in a match where the ring isn't surrounded by fire and his opponent isn't R-Truth, then he'll deliver just fine. His body of NXT work speaks for itself.
A ton and a half of credit to Rad for this superb artwork
Days Oncall has left to use his MITB Contract: 300-ishOriginally Posted by The Miz
All three Shield members are way more talented than the Wyatt family, Bray hasn't got the right physique for Vince anyway, he prefers wrestlers like Roman Reigns and Hunter is high on Seth Rollins who I think can be a huge face on the main roster in the future.
He reminds me of the movie Twins. He inherited all of the talent, charisma etc. while his brother is just the leftover scraps. Bray=Arnold. Bo=Danny DeVito. And it kills me to say that about someone named Bo!
Idk, bo really has that unique thing about him, his complete face is tempting you to break it and then you have that natural hate for his annoying nature, he can really make you hate him without trying and that of itself should be enough for a great heel. Like I'd pay good money to just see some dude punch the shit out of him. Not kidding.
I thought it was for a new member of his stable at first.
So...R-Truth has changed his underwear once?
Haven't been keeping up with WWE for a while now, but for some reason I read the thread title and thought THIS was how they were bringing in Paige.

Scope Mount for Mod 06 Winchester
I am looking for a scope and mount to fit my Mod 06 Winchester .22LR, with a round barrel. What I would like is something that would be accurate at 100 yards with standard long rifle HP ammo. I want to be able to hit the head of rabbits and squirrels. In the past I have done this with open sights, but these eyes are getting older and I need some help.
After searching the internet, and going to several groups, I find that there are no mounts made for my Winchester. If anyone knows of something different, or someone that has made a mount, please let me know.
Don't mess with it.
A side mount could be used but you end up with a scope off-set from the bore. You also would take a large chunk of the value of your colectable rifle's value. Prehaps a competent gunsmith could come up with scout rifle arrangement where you would use an extended eye relief scope but again at the expense of losing value from your rifle. I suggest if you just want a shooter with a scope search out a good clean Marlin model 60 with a scope and leave the Winchester as it was meant to be.

For some reason the Acer has not been marketed much; and it doesn't appear to have the same fame as the Xoom or Trasnformer. I think there are a lot of people purchasing the Acer tab because they were tired of waiting for the Transformer to become available.

Nissan is set to bring back the Datsun nameplate in emerging markets
Posted by Andrey Malskiy Categories: Corporate News, Transportation
The rumors are true; Nissan is bringing back the Datsun nameplate. Now before your mind goes into nostalgia, reminiscing about a Datsun 240z and the possibility something similar might come back, we can confirm it's most likely not.
Nissan aims for the Datsun nameplate to play a huge role in emerging markets, such as Indonesia, India, and Russia as an affordable, yet well equipped option out the box for consumers. This is one of the primary reasons why we won't see Datsun in the States, as Nissan already achieved this with its own name. Follow the jump to read to full, yet brief, press release.

The typewriter is dead as the last factory closes its doors (Updated)
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Misc. Tech
Update: Contrary to the original reports, it seems there are still typewriters being made in China, Japan, and Indonesia. So rather than being the death of the typewriter, this is just another nail in the coffin.
You might want to be sitting down for this. It's time to say your goodbyes, because the world's last remaining typewriter factory, Godrej & Boyce in Mumbai, India, is closing its doors.
Although typewriters have long been obsolete in the West, they remained popular in India for a long time. However, Godrej & Boyce stopped production in 2009, and now its inventory has dwindled to just 500 machines, most of which are Arabic-language models, and no more will be made. It's a different tune than the company was singing back in the '90s, when it produced 50,000 typewriters a year, a third of India's total output of 150,000 units, India's Business Standard reports.
"From the early 2000s onward, computers started dominating," Godrej & Boyce's general manager of operations Milind Dukle told the Business Standard. "All the manufacturers of office typewriters stopped production, except us. [Until] 2009, we used to produce 10,000 to 12,000 machines a year."
When Godrej & Boyce opened in the 1950s, the Business Standard says the typewriter was a "symbol of independent and industrialized India." More than half a century later, one of the company's plants in Shirwal that closed in 2009 was morphed into a refrigerator factory.

New PayPal restrictions sending payments to India
Posted by Patrick Lambert Categories: Corporate News, Internet
In a strange yet potentially devastating move for Indian companies and freelancers, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced new directives which forces PayPal to restrict any payment for out-of-country services or goods to $500. This means companies and individuals from India wanting to sell services or products to customers outside of the country will have to keep it to a maximum price of $500 per transaction or do so using other means.
It's unclear why the restrictions were added. It's likely that this will impact the economy of the country, which is becoming very popular in several tech related sectors, especially over the Internet, where PayPal payments are common. The likely outcome is increased corruption, and alternative means of money exchange booming as a result of this.

New Aritificial Heart Design from Cockroach
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Science
Sujoy K. Guha from the India Institute of Technology in Kharagpur has created a biventricular pump (artificial heart) with two ventricular pumps of interconnected diaphragm chambers. Run by a battery driven motor, his inspiration was a cockroach heart which has up to 13 chambers, while the human only has four. When one fails in a human it creates a heart attack but when one goes bad on a cockroach, it just keeps going. So far it has been successfully tested on a frog and Guha plans to try it out on a goat.

India has agreed to work on the planet's cheapest laptop. The Minister of State for Human Resource Development D. Purandeswari says that the country will try to develop $10.00 units for school kids.

d.light Lamps are Inexpensive Alternatives
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Household, Misc. Tech, Science
A new start up company from Stanford Business School, d.light, is working to help those who don't have access to electricity to light up their lives. Based in New Delhi, India, they have designed lamps for those who live on only about $1.00 a day. The Nova comes in both solar and AC chargeable models, and is 30 to 50% more efficient than fluorescent light for up to 40 hours. The company is hoping that the high-powered LED displays will replace dangerous and costly kerosene lanterns. They come at a price of $15.00 to $30.00, if the buyer wants both chargers.
