Levy Restaurants, a restaurant company that caters sports & entertainment venues across the country, has expanded their gluten-free offerings at select ballparks locations. Some parks allow you to bring food in, but others have strict rules against it. If more ballparks & catering companies follow the lead of Levy Restaurants, there may not be a need to bring in your own food. Here is the press release regarding the new offerings:
"Expanded Gluten-Free Menus Make it to the Big Leagues
– Levy Restaurants Increases Gluten-Free Menu Offerings at MLB Ballparks and MLS Soccer Stadiums and NBA Arenas –
[Chicago, IL] – Levy Restaurants, the Chicago-based restaurant company and leader in sports and entertainment dining, announced today that the company is expanding gluten-free menu offerings at the company's ballparks, stadiums and arenas nationwide. Kicking off with the 2011 MLB season, all Levy Restaurants' venues will offer gluten-free options, including new gluten-free concessions carts at select venues.
According to the National Institutes of Health, more than two million people in the United States have Celiac Disease, or about one in 133 people. Last year, Levy Restaurants added gluten-free snacks and beer to all sports venues to accommodate guests that follow a wheat- and gluten-free diet, and the response was tremendous. Now, Levy Restaurants is going even further to make sure gluten-intolerant guests can enjoy traditional game day favorites, by launching a portable cart at select venues nationwide dedicated exclusively to freshly prepared, gluten-free sports favorites.
The new expanded gluten-free offerings include:
Concessions Cart Fan Favorites
Snacks, Sweets and Beverages
The ballparks, stadiums and arenas that will debut the gluten-free portable cart include American Airlines Arena in Miami, American Airlines Center in Dallas, Chase Field in Phoenix, Fed Ex Forum in Memphis, Nationals Park in Washington, DC, Philips Arena in Atlanta, Qwest Field in Seattle, Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City, TD Ameritrade Park in Omaha and United Center in Chicago.
Additionally, AT&T Center, Dodger Stadium, Haymarket Park, Home Depot Center, Oklahoma City Arena, Pepsi Center, PNC Park, Toyota Park, US Cellular Field, Verizon Center and Wrigley Field will continue to offer gluten-free snacks and Red Bridge Beer, both in concessions and via healthy snack baskets in suites. More information about specific availability of each menu item at each venue is available upon request.
Levy Restaurants is also working in conjunction with Gluten-Free Passport, an internationally recognized health education firm, to have information on ballpark and stadium venues offering gluten-free menu items accessible via mobile applications. By the end of April, gluten-free sports fans will be able to access information on Levy Restaurants' sports locations offering gluten-free fare via the iCanEat OnTheGo app, iEatOut Gluten & Allergen Free app, as well as the new regionally-focused iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch apps including Gluten Free Chicago, Gluten Free LA and Gluten Free New York.

This study will explore brain function related to depressive symptoms and will examine DNA for genes that may be involved in depressive disorders, particularly genes that regulate synthesis and metabolism of the brain neurotransmitter catecholamine. It will compare findings in patients with major depressive disorders who are in remission with those in normal, healthy volunteers.
Patients with remitted major depressive disorders and healthy normal volunteers between 18 and 60 years of age may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a psychiatric and medical history, physical examination, electrocardiogram, and blood and urine tests. Participants undergo the following tests and procedures in up to eight visits to the NIH Clinical Center:
Memory Tasks and Problem Solving and Brain Imaging
Subjects are tested with measurements of intelligence or memory ability. They also undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a test that uses a magnetic field and radio waves to produce images of the brain. For this procedure, the patient lies on a table that is moved into the scanner (a narrow cylinder), and wears earplugs to muffle loud knocking and thumping sounds that occur during the scanning process. The MRI lasts about 60 minutes.
Catecholamine Depletion Study
For this study, subjects take capsules containing either AMPT (a drug that temporarily reduces brain catecholamine activity) or a placebo (lactose capsules, which do not affect brain catecholamine activity) at 9 a.m., 2 p.m., and 7 p.m. on one visit and return the next day to take additional capsules at 7 a.m. and noon. In addition to the study medication, subjects keep a low-monoamine diet (e.g., no chocolate, cheese, smoked meats, and various other foods that will be enumerated) and do not smoke, drink alcohol, or take in food or drink containing caffeine. After taking all the study capsules, the subjects have positron emission tomography (PET) and functional MRI (fMRI) scans, as follows:
- fMRI: While lying in the MRI scanner, the subject performs a monetary reward task that is somewhat like playing a computer video game for money. The amount of cash the subject can win depends on his or her performance. It is possible to lose money that was previously won, if performance declines. This portion of the study provides information on how the brain processes reward and about the role of catecholamines in this process.
- PET: The subject is injected in the arm with a glucose solution that has a radioactive substance attached that can be detected by the PET scanner. During the scan, the subject looks at photographs of faces on a computer screen and is asked to tell the gender of the persons. This test shows brain blood flow and measures brain glucose (sugar) metabolism, which reflects brain activity. At the end of the scan, subjects are asked about their mood and general well being. They return to the Clinical Center the following day for and evaluation of their emotional state.
The catecholamine depletion study is repeated a second time 14 days or more after the first. Subjects who received AMPT capsules for the first study take lactose capsules for the second study, and vice-versa.
|Condition or disease
|Depression Involutional
The depressive and anhedonic response precipitated by CD raises the possibility that dysfunction of the dopamine system is a stable, sometimes latent characteristic of MDD. Following this line of reasoning, central catecholamine dysfunction as evinced by CD may be equally salient in a subset of unaffected relatives who are at genetic risk for developing the disorder.
We plan to extend the phase I project to unaffected relatives of BD and MDD patients in order to evaluate sensitivity to CD as an endophenotype of MDD and BD. In order to maximize our statistical power, we will be recruiting equal numbers healthy low and high-risk relatives. Here, risk is defined on the basis of chronological age (see below for more detail).
Furthermore, it has recently become feasible to conduct genome-wide association studies and quantify the burden of risk alleles carried by an individual. Certainly, the identity of these risk alleles remains unknown or unproven. Nevertheless, Francis McMahon's group, with whom we are collaborating, have identified upwards of 20 common risk variants in two independent samples. Individuals carrying 19 or more of these risk alleles were found to be 4 times more likely to be cases than controls. This approach may provide us with another method of quantifying genetic risk.
The endophenotypic status of sensitivity to CD will be evaluated with psychometric instruments, FDG PET, and an fMRI-coupled appetitive learning task. We now have access to a high resolution PET scanner (High Resolution Research Tomograph) that will enable us to study hitherto irresolvable structures of importance such as the habenula and peri-aqueductal gray matter (PAG) in addition to previously implicated regions such as the ventral striatum and OFC. Analysis of the metabolic activity of these regions under sham and CD conditions in both remitted MDD and relatives of BD and MDD patients is of great theoretical import. So to is identifying regions of the brain involved in reward response that are selectively impacted by CD, a question that we hope to answer through the use of the fMRI-coupled appetitive learning task.

|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 45 Years (Adult)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
MDD Sample: 40 subjects (ages 18-45) with remitted MDD will be selected. MDD is defined by the DSM-IV criteria, and one of the following additional criteria:
- history of two or more major depressive episodes, or
- history of one major depressive episode and a family history for major depression. Remission is defined as a period of at least three months during which the subject has not taken any antidepressant agents, with the Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS; 21-item) scores in the non-depressed range (less than 8), and with no more than one clinically significant depressive symptom.
Unaffected MDD Relative Sample:
40 healthy relatives of MDD probands (ages 18-45) will be recruited. Subjects will be screened to ensure that they have no history of psychiatric illness.
Unaffected BD Relative Sample:
Healthy relatives of BD probands (ages 18-45) will be recruited. Subjects will be screened to ensure that they have no history of psychiatric illness.
Healthy Control Samples:
-Healthy subjects (ages 18-45) without a known personal or first-degree family history of psychiatric disorders in first-degree relatives will be selected.
- Any subject who appears incapable of providing informed consent will be excluded from the study.
- Subjects who take effective antidepressant medication
- Subjects must not have taken antidepressant or other medications likely to alter monoamine neurochemistry or cerebrovascular and cardiovascular function for at least 3 months prior to the studies.
Subjects who have:
- psychosis to the extent that the ability to provide informed consent is in doubt
- medical or neurological illnesses likely to affect physiology or anatomy, i.e. hypertension, cardiovascular disorders
- a history of drug (including benzodiazepines [BZD]) or alcohol abuse within 1 year or a lifetime history of alcohol or drug dependence (DSM IV criteria) longer than 2 years
- current pregnancy (as documented by pregnancy testing at screening or at days of the challenge studies)
- current breast feeding
- smokers
- serious suicidal ideation or behavior
- general MRI exclusion criteria (e.g., subjects with metallic implants that are ferromagnetic will be excluded from the fMRI scanning). Subjects must exhibit no or only moderate alcohol use. Subjects with current excessive use of alcohol (greater than 4 ounces/day for men and greater than 3 ounces/day for women) are ineligible for participation, as such drug use confounds the results
- smokers are ineligible because of the evidence for interactions between nicotine and depression, and the possibility of withdrawal symptoms that may affect behavioral and neural responses to CD
- history of suicidality and other axis I diagnoses beside major depressive disorder
- lactose intolerance
- women not using a reliable contraception method. Finally subjects who have had an upper respiratory tract infection in the last week will be excluded as this may impact sense of smell.
- Subjects beyond age 45
- Individuals whose first major depressive episodes arose after other medical or psychiatric conditions
- Subjects showing significant side effects during AMPT depletion such as dystonic reactions will receive adequate treatment and will be excluded from the study

"A great race, a fantastic result. The win came my way because Kimi had a problem with his car and at the pace he was running, it would have been hard for me to beat him on the track. I would have been happy with second place but of course, the win makes me even happier. I want to thank the whole team and our partners, especially Shell. I am leading the championship and that's a nice feeling, but I am well aware it means nothing because I am aiming for the title and to do that, there is still a long way to go. In the first part of the race I was struggling a bit to stay in touch with Kimi, then when his exhaust broke, I managed to get by. In the second part, I thought of managing the situation, making sure I made no mistakes, especially when there were a few drops of rain. We have to continue working this way, race after race, right to the end of the championship."
"Obviously I am a bit disappointed because I had hoped to win. Unfortunately, the right exhaust pipe broke just before half-distance and the engine lost a lot of power, especially on the straight after the slow corners. After a few laps, the situation seemed better, but towards the end of the race, I ran the risk of stopping. This sort of thing can happen in racing and I have to try and look on the bright side: eight points are still a good amount and the one-two finish is a great result for the team. Luckily, I had built up quite a good lead in the first part thanks to a car that was really very competitive. The F2008 is definitely very strong because usually, when you have this sort of problem, retirement is almost inevitable. There is still a long way to go in the championship and I am in a better position than I was at this stage last year: let's see what I can do in the next part of the series."
"What a great result and a great weekend by the whole team. We were pushing really hard because we wanted to dedicate this result to Ove Andersson, who has done so much for Toyota Motorsport. Today was a great race, hard and tough. We had a good pace, even if we had to battle with some cars that were quicker than us. I had to fight really hard but that is what people should expect both from myself and from Toyota. When the rain came at the end I had to take care because it's always difficult to judge how bad it is when you're in front. But I got back into a rhythm and had a wheel-to-wheel fight with Heikki, just like in go-karts. The team made no mistakes this weekend, from the people in the factory who made the new parts on the car to the mechanics who did perfect pit stops today. There's still more to do but today we can be very satisfied. The team is doing a great job, the car is much more competitive and everyone is motivated. Things are moving on."
"Given yesterday's grid penalty, this was a very good result. It also shows that we had a great strategy to be able to come from 10th on the grid to fourth at the finish. During the first stint I lost a lot of time trying to get past slower cars; but, after that, fortunately, I was able to overtake, build a cushion and close the gap to the guys in front. The car felt fantastic throughout the whole race and the Bridgestone Potenza tyres worked really well. During the closing laps, I found myself behind Jarno and tried everything I could to overtake him, but I just couldn't quite make it. He defended third place very well, so well done to him for that."
"We didn't score as many points as we wanted to here in Magny-Cours. Over the whole weekend we tried to minimize the problems we had, and we knew the race would be decided on the first lap. At the start I tried to overtake Jarno Trulli, but did not manage it. I tried again in turn 5 on the outside, but it did not work out. In the end I have to say I am pretty happy. I finished fifth, only 2 seconds away from the podium. We now have to analyse what happened here and see how we can improve for the next race."
"My start wasn't great, but my first stint wasn't too bad in terms of pace. I was trying to keep up with Fernando (Alonso) as I knew he was short and I put in some laps that were right on the edge before the first stop. On my out lap I knew I was still under pressure from others who were going a bit longer and jumped the kerbs a bit hard when I was on fresh tyres with heavy fuel. I had a big moment, although I managed to save it. I then settled in behind Fernando again, but his strategy didn't work out as well, which was good for us. It's good for the team to get some more points today. It was a tough week in the build up to this race, in terms of effort from the factory and the boys at the track, and three points is not to be sniffed at. Toyota had a strong race today, but we'll have more in the future."
"It's the first time that everything has gone without any problems for me. The car and the team's strategy worked well and I was able to score my first couple of points today. I am happy and I hope that we can continue like this for the rest of the season."
"I have to be disappointed today. I am sure we could have fought for the podium, but I lost too many positions at the start, and after that I was not able to find the pace I had shown yesterday. The car was fast in a straight line, but I still couldn't make any progress. I scored a point, but I'm determined to do better for the British Grand Prix."
David Coulthard:
"I'm disappointed that from a good grid position I lost three places at the start, two off the line and one when Kovalainen passed me round the outside into Turn five. I found the balance on the prime tyres wasn't as good as expected in the cooler conditions and the option was performing better than we thought. That was different from what we found the other day in practice, but some races go for you and some don't."
"My drive-through penalty was an extremely close call: I felt I'd got past Vettel fairly and was ahead going into the corner. But I was on the outside and couldn't turn-in in case we both crashed, then I lost the back-end and drove over the kerb. But, after that, I got my head down and pushed hard until the end of the race. I've been out of the points for three races now - but there are still 10 to go. Kimi came from behind to win last year's championship, so there's no reason to be disheartened. I'm 10 points behind, but I'm determined to bounce back at Silverstone in front of my home crowd."
"That was a difficult day for me. I made a good start, the car felt good for the first stint and I was able to push hard. But after the pit stop I struggled to maintain the same pace because I had some tyre graining and I then had major understeer. That meant the car was sliding around for much of the race. It didn't work out for us in terms of strategy either. I lost ground at each of the pit stops and in the end we just dropped out of the points. Still it's great for Jarno to take third place and the podium, a perfect result for him and the team. We have clearly made progress since the last test and our pace means I am determined to come away with better results in the coming races."
"I think we can be proud of ourselves because we had a very strong race. We started and finished P12, but we were in a part of the pack that included McLaren and BMW. I think we did a fantastic job of keeping ahead of one BMW simply because we had a better pace. We were not so lucky in terms of traffic and I would have liked the rain to come and help us a bit in the last fifteen laps but unfortunately it only arrived fifteen minutes after the finish! Overall, we can be happy. It was not an easy race and I had a lot of graining which made life harder. Definitely a step forward in performance terms compared to the last couple of races."
"Having finished 13th is certainly a disappointing result. I lost two positions right at the start and could not get them back. Now we will concentrate on next week's test in Silverstone and the forthcoming race there."
"It was in many ways a great race today, just with a difficult car. At least we were able to progress up the field and make a fight of it. As we expected, the car was slightly better in race trim and with a good strategy and great pit stops, we were able to improve on my starting position and challenge the people we were able to. Our engineers and mechanics did a great job this weekend, so I would like to thank them for their hard work and motivation. However there is no escaping the fact that this has been a painful weekend for us. We have a lot of hard work ahead at the test in Silverstone next week where we aim to improve the competitiveness of the car for the next few races with some new developments."
Kazuki Nakajima:
"It was a difficult race for us. We decided to go for a two stop strategy, which was the best direction to take under the circumstances. All weekend we've been suffering with a lack of pace and that hurt us during the race. We couldn't have done much better today."
"In Canada, I was fighting the Ferraris and the BMWs, and here I was fighting at the back of the pack. It's incredible, and not a very nice feeling. I thought I would be able to fight a bit more; I was giving it my all as usual, but the car simply didn't have the speed and it was very difficult. I am now looking to score some points at Silverstone - at least I won't have a grid penalty there!"
"As soon as Nakajima, who was on a one-stop, got ahead of me at the start, when my engine bogged down a little bit, it compromised my race. I lost touch with the pack ahead and then I had to let Raikkonen past, but as he was in difficulty, I was actually pulling away from him, but I still had waved blue flags, which I thought was a bit harsh, so I lost around three seconds letting him by and then more time behind him."
"Our target from today's race was to get to the end of the race and we did, so I am pleased from this respect as we have not finished the last three races. We had more reliability from the car but the pace was not as good as we would have liked at times. It was better than yesterday, but we need a step forward to move on. I'm looking forward to the Silverstone test now where we have some new parts that should deliver some more improvements."
"We have had some better races this year. It was a bit frustrating. Both myself and Giancarlo had a very aggressive strategy to try to make up some more places in the race, but we also needed to have some luck. Unfortunately nothing happened in the race to other people so I had lots of times when I had to move over to let cars on the lead lap go past and got out of the rhythm. This was disappointing, seeing the cars passing you when you are lapping well. In the middle stint the pace was OK, it was just the strategy didn't work out in the end."
"Going out of the race so early is a disappointing end to what has been a tough weekend for us. I got a good start and was alongside Bourdais. I thought he was going to turn in at turn one and close the door so I pulled in behind him and then unfortunately hit him in the rear as everything slowed down for the corner. I could feel that there was something broken at the front of the car as there was an air coming in from the front, but the car was driveable and I was staying with the back of the pack so I continued. However the front wing must have been loose as a result of the impact, as it dislodged itself when I went over the kerbs in the last chicane and got stuck under the front of the car. We replaced the nose but the bargeboards had been pulled off and the car had become undriveable so I had to retire. It's my home Grand Prix next and we have a busy programme at the Silverstone test next week to prepare, so we will stay positive and keep looking forward."
Stefano Domenicali (Ferrari - team boss):
"A really great result that came at the end of a very tough race. We had started with the aim of securing the double and we managed it, despite the exhaust problem that put Kimi's race in danger around lap 35. It proves we have all the potential to do very well, but it also confirms that we cannot allow ourselves not to be perfect in every detail, especially on the reliability front. I am very sorry for Kimi, who was going really well today and did a really good job to get the car to the line in these conditions. Now we will have to check on the condition of the engine on his car and evaluate what should be done for the race at Silverstone. I am very happy for Felipe, who drove majestically, without putting a foot wrong. It is the first time in his career that he leads the world championship and I am sure that is a great satisfaction for him. We have pulled out more of a gap in the Constructors' classification, which also give us a bit of breathing space, but we cannot afford to ease up. There is still a long way to go and our rivals will do all they can to beat us. We must keep our heads down and work in a determined fashion. It is a special pleasure to celebrate with a one-two finish the one hundred and fiftieth win in partnership between Ferrari and Shell. Behind our victories are some extraordinary partners."
Luca Baldisserri (Ferrari - technical director):
"A fantastic one-two! This weekend we demonstrated all our potential, securing the maximum result possible, both in qualifying and in the race. The race was very difficult because we had to try and adapt to the very changeable weather conditions and also because, on Kimi's car, we had to manage the serious problem of a broken exhaust pipe for more than half the race. The team did an impeccable job under very difficult conditions and both drivers were excellent. We knew we had great potential, which for various reasons, was not translated into points in the two previous races. Today we did it, but these eighteen points must not go to our heads. There is still a lot of work to do and we must never drop our guard."
John Howett (Toyota Motorsport - president):
"This is a fantastic day for everyone involved with Toyota Motorsport. It was our first podium for a long time so we dedicate it to Ove Andersson, who did so much for the team and will be greatly missed. Congratulations to everyone involved both at the factory and in the race and test teams who have worked hard to improve the car. We had a good test in Barcelona last week and today Jarno did a phenomenal job. It was an incredible battle in the closing laps but Jarno's very experienced and it was a clean fight, which was good to see. When it started to rain he had to be cautious but he did a fine job to keep Kovalainen behind. It was an encouraging weekend for Timo too, who did well in qualifying but was unlucky with traffic today. He suffered with understeer compared to Jarno so we will have to investigate that. Both cars also made excellent starts from the dirty side of the grid so we hope that can continue. Of course we must now keep pushing really hard because our pace is still not matching the front-runners but we can be hugely satisfied with this result."
Ron Dennis (McLaren-Mercedes - team principal):
"A challenging weekend for us. Having said that, Heikki had a brilliant afternoon, driving superbly and fighting all the way to the chequered flag, and only narrowly missed the podium. Lewis's race was severely hampered by his drive-through penalty. Now, though, we must draw a line under this weekend and look ahead. We've got a competitive car and two excellent drivers, and as such we're in great shape. So now we need to focus on the Santander British Grand Prix, and on getting the best results we possibly can at Silverstone, where we feel confident we'll once again be able to challenge at the front."
Norbert Haug (Mercedes - motorsport director):
"Our pace wasn't too bad. Without his drive-through penalty, third place would definitely have been possible for Lewis despite starting 13th. Heikki did a great job and moved from 10th to fourth. It's a shame that he didn't manage to pass Trulli at the end. However, for the spectators, he at least produced the fight of the race. We all now concentrate on the first of two consecutive 'home grands prix' in Silverstone. Lewis's gap to the top is 10 points and that is still not too big a gap."
Mario Theissen (BMW - motorsport director):
"The race reflected yesterday's Qualifying. Over the entire weekend here our package did not work perfectly. Robert was stuck in traffic on his second stint and, therefore, lost his chance of a podium finish. Nick lost two positions at the start. Neither driver ever had a realistic chance to attack. We had no technical problems, and the result is four points for our team. From now on we will prepare for the Silverstone race."
Willy Rampf (BMW Sauber - technical director):
"When deciding on the race strategy, we focused on Jarno Trulli and Fernando Alonso. Our goal was to put Robert into a position to finish on the podium. However, in the second stint it was clear this would not work. He got stuck behind Trulli, who had a higher fuel load and was able to stay out longer than him. At the same time, Heikki Kovalainen was able to close the gap to Robert and pass him during his second pit stop. Overall, our pace was not good enough during this weekend. However, we were able to defend second in the Constructors' Championship."
Christian Horner (Red Bull Racing - team principal):
"Unfortunately both drivers got poor starts, which gave away quite a lot on the first lap, but thereafter Mark's strategy worked well. He had good pace throughout the race to finish a solid sixth. He had one moment in front of Fernando which cost him a bit of time, but a good solid points finish. David had similar pace and it was a very good last stint for him. Unfortunately, he finished a frustrating ninth, but we retain fourth in the Constructors' and look forward to the British Grand Prix."
Fabrice Lom (Renault principal engineer, track support):
"We have to be happy with a result like this as we got points, but unfortunately one of our guys was out of the points and Toyota scored a lot, although congratulations to Jarno (Trulli), who had a fantastic race. So, a mixed result. We're still in front of Toyota, but they're closing the gap. We're happy that the engines finished the race; we'd been a bit worried, but they did it. Let's hope we find some more pace at the Silverstone test this week to stay in front of Toyota."
Flavio Briatore (Renault - managing director):
"We had other hopes for today, but we are happy nonetheless to see our two cars finish in the points. Fernando lost some positions at the start and we were not able to come back from that. Nelson had a remarkable race, very consistent and aggressive, and I am very pleased to see him score his first points today."
Pat Symonds (Renault - executive director of engineering):
"Both cars in the points, but we still feel a little bit disappointed. We took a risky strategy with Fernando, but had to alter it after the start and so it was far from ideal. It's clear that we still need to find more speed in the car, but we are pleased with Nelson's first points finish."
Gerhard Berger (Toro Rosso - team boss):
"Vettel had a good race but there was nothing much he could do, as most cars ahead of him finished. On the plus side, we got both our cars to the chequered flag. There was nothing more we could do in a race like this. We had Vettel on a short middle stint to keep Heidfeld behind us, but there were no big strategy moves you could make. We were hoping for rain to make something happen and give us a chance."
Ross Brawn (Honda - team principal):
"Rubens got a good start and then did a solid job managing the tyres with a heavy fuel load for the first stint. Unfortunately though, he was trapped behind a slower car, which allowed the cars ahead to pull away. However, with a good strategy and consistent laps, Rubens was able to move through the field and, having started from the back of the grid, he went on to make up five places. While this is by no means a good result, the team and car worked very well throughout the whole race. Jenson's first corner incident with Bourdais damaged the front wing, and as a consequence it became loose and broke off. Despite a nose change, some residual bodywork damage was causing him to lose a great deal of downforce. Given that it was so early in the race it was not sensible to leave a stricken car running so we decided to retire him."
"Next week we are testing at Silverstone where we will be evaluating a considerable aero upgrade which we plan to introduce for the British Grand Prix in two weeks' time. There will be further developments to this over the coming races then a suspension upgrade for the start of the final long haul races."
Patrick Head (Williams - director of engineering):
"Obviously that was a very mediocre performance. From here, we must go away and try to understand our mistakes and put them right to come out fighting at Silverstone because I am sure that we can do better than we managed today."
Mike Gascoyne (Force India - chief technical officer):
"It's good to get two cars to the finish today. In a race where only one car retired it was obviously going to be difficult but both drivers did a good job in general. Adrian's strategy didn't really work out for him. He needed to make up some places early on, which he wasn't able to do as everyone was so close, so that meant he dropped back down the order at his first stop. Overall though, it's good to get a double finish and to get some reliability. We now move on to Silverstone for the test where we have a large range of improvements to bring the car on."
Dr Vijay Mallya (Force India - chairman and managing director):
"Our goal here was to improve reliability and we can take some confidence that we have achieved this aim, with no problems on either cars. We had a strong strategy to try to make up places, which we needed to do when starting from the back, but sadly we could not capitalise on it with the extraordinary reliability of the field. However with this strong basis in the back of our minds we can now move onto Silverstone for the test next week, where we look forward to some new developments that should hopefully let us make up some time up to the field."
Hirohide Hamashima (Bridgestone - director of motorsport tyre development):
"We are very happy with our tyre performance here today. There were many strategies possible, but I believe the best solution was the medium - medium - soft strategy that we saw most drivers use. Kimi was fastest, but unfortunately for him he had a problem and he had to be patient to take second place. Congratulations to Felipe and Ferrari for their win and especially to Felipe for taking the championship lead. Congratulations also to Jarno Trulli and Toyota for their good result. In Moto GP we must also praise Casey Stoner and Ducati for their win and Valentino Rossi and Yamaha for their second place in the MotoGP race at Donington Park."

Syndergaard, Montero put up zeros as Futures starters
Top Mets pitching prospects oppose each other with impressive scoreless innings
NEW YORK -- Until Sunday, Noah Syndergaard had not had much opportunity to watch fellow Mets prospect Rafael Montero pitch. His only exposure came this spring, when Syndergaard was present to catch a quick inning.
"I think he struck three people out on nine pitches," Syndergaard recalled.
That performance might have seemed similar to Sunday at the Futures Game, when Montero needed only nine pitches to retire the side in order at Citi Field. Pitching for the US Team opposite Montero, Syndergaard held his own with a scoreless top of the first, whiffing one batter and touching 96-mph on the radar gun.
"Just being out there was incredible," Syndergaard said. "I tried to stay focused on the catcher, but the cheering, loud fans made it hard to."
Outfielder Brandon Nimmo, who won a fan vote competition to make the US roster, finished 0-for-2 with a lineout.
"It was everything that I was looking forward to," Nimmo said. "What a beautiful ballpark. What a great welcome from the fans. I just had a great time."
For both Syndergaard and Montero, the Futures Game was an opportunity to showcase why they have become two of the hottest pitching prospects in baseball. Syndergaard wrapped up his first half with a four-start run of brilliance at Double-A Binghamton, posting a 1.35 ERA with 26 strikeouts and four walks since his promotion. The 20-year-old chalked that up to feeling "more comfortable" against older competition, simply because he feels he has nothing to lose.
Montero, 23, has not thrived quite so much since a promotion to Triple-A Las Vegas, producing a 4.26 ERA with 29 strikeouts and 10 walks in 33 innings. But Montero was dominant during his 11-start run to open the year with Binghamton, going 7-3 with a 2.43 ERA, 72 strikeouts and 10 free passes.
"I've just been working really hard," Montero said. "There's nothing different."
Maybe not for Montero, who has made several visits to New York City since signing as an international free agent at age 20. For Syndergaard, the Futures Game experience was all new, largely because it was his first trip to New York.
After arriving Friday, Syndergaard spent a whirlwind day exploring the MLB Fan Cave, MLB.com offices and the All-Star FanFest, then watching a comedy show in Times Square with his family.
"This treatment we're having is awesome," Syndergaard said. "I can't wait to get to the big leagues."
The Mets can't wait either, considering they parted with reigning National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey to acquire Syndergaard and catcher Travis d'Arnaud in a seven-player deal last December. So far, Syndergaard has done nothing but justify the trade with his production over two levels, molding himself into the same type of super-prospect that Matt Harvey and Zack Wheeler were before him.
The Mets envision their pitching staff of the future including Harvey, Wheeler, Syndergaard, Montero and Jon Niese, all of whom are under team control at least through 2018. When Sandy Alderson took over as general manager following the 2010 season, he resolved to build around pitching, which is exactly what he has done with that group.
Then again, one of the most significant risks Alderson made as GM was spending his 2011 first-round Draft pick on Nimmo, a Wyoming high schooler largely untested against top-tier competition. Though Nimmo has struggled since returning from the disabled list this year, he did enough in April to make the South Atlantic League All-Star team at age 20.
"It was a huge adjustment," Nimmo said of his first Minor League experience. "It's a whole new game, a whole new speed of the game. It takes a little bit for your mind to stop thinking and start reacting again. But once you get to that point, things get a lot easier again."
With Harvey and Wheeler already in the big leagues, and d'Arnaud a clean bill of health away from joining them, Syndergaard, Montero and Nimmo are now the three most intriguing names on the farm for the Mets.
Whether Alderson's rebuilding plan unfolds as quickly as hoped will depend largely upon those three.
"I definitely see a bright future for the Mets," Nimmo said. "We've got Noah coming up and Montero, along with some other pretty great guys. You already have Harvey here, you already have Wheeler and you have [David] Wright to lead them, so I think there's a bright future ahead."

Avilan establishes himself as top reliever
ATLANTA -- When the Braves placed Jordan Walden on the disabled list and learned Eric O'Flaherty would need to undergo season-ending elbow surgery within a 24-hour span in mid-May, Luis Avilan said he was ready to accept the challenge of taking on a greater role in Atlanta's bullpen.
Nearly two months later, Avilan has established himself as a dependable setup man for closer Craig Kimbrel. In fact, during his first full calendar year at the big league level, the hard-throwing left-hander has developed into one of the game's top relievers.
Avilan made his Major League debut on July 14 last year and then proceeded to allow a run in three of his first four appearances. In the 69 appearances he has made dating back to July 30, he has compiled a 1.36 ERA and limited opponents to a .160 batting average.
Kimbrel and American League All-Star Jesse Crain are the only Major League relievers who have posted a lower ERA while making at least 50 appearances during this span. Paco Rodriguez and Glen Perkins are the only qualified relievers to produce a better opponent's batting average.
"I remember my first couple outings in the big leagues," Avilan said. "I was so shy and scared about what I was supposed to do. Right now, I feel comfortable about what I'm doing and what I have to do."

Personification is a form of figurative language that assigns human qualities or characteristics to something that is nonhuman (such as animals, inanimate objects, or ideas). When identifying an example of personification in animals, it is important to make sure that the characteristic in question is uniquely human. Additionally, though personification is closely related to anthropomorphism, make sure you are not confusing these two terms (see: anthropomorphism).

Who Is She?
Who Is SHE?
It was a Wednesday afternoon and I was sitting in Starbucks in downtown Greenville, SC right after a meeting. Working on some details on a project, my attention would shift from my lab top to the outdoors. I could not help how beautiful it was that day and I wasn't the only one that thought the same thing. There were droves of people that passed by during this mid afternoon period—some dressed in workout clothes and some in suits but then my eye caught this woman standing there as if she was waiting on someone. I said to myself, "She's not from here," and I didn't mean that in a bad way but sometimes your spirit gives you a confirmation before your head does and little did I know, I was about to find out in the next few moments…
She looked like a young, Patti Labelle, you know the soulful singer who has hits that span over 50 years like, "If Only You Knew," "On My Own," and "New Attitude" just to name a few. Her attire was all black—Black top, black boots and these fierce black "cat eye" style shades that definitely fed my curiosity. Who Is SHE? Well, I kept typing away and continuing to notice this woman and somewhere in between typing and looking outside still seeing this woman pacing back and forth, I heard someone call my name. I looked up and it was one of my really good friends, Deanna Hudgens and she was with that lady! As I get up to greet my girlfriend she introduces 'that lady' and it's my girlfriend's sister! Oh My GOD! So we all made small talk and then it started to click. My girlfriend, who is originally from Flint, Michigan, spoke about this sister in previous conversations but she lived out of town so looks like I was correct!
YES! I now know WHO SHE IS! Well, not on a personal level but enough to make the association since I have never met her before.
But here is where the story takes a very interesting turn that I can only sum up in 3 words…
She IS AMAZING..
Allow me to introduce Greenville, SC to this lady. Stephanie Taylor, Founder of Taylor Made Solutions, where education meets fashion, insight, innovation and impact!
Quick Question?
Have you ever met someone who embodied their BRAND before they ever opened their mouth? It's like once they begin to speak, that intuition that you have about them comes to life in that moment? After the first 5 minutes into conversation, I knew I was face to face with fashion brilliance!
From her affiliations with multiple celebrities and Fashion Group International, to building the Fashion Curriculums for the Art institute campuses of New York, New York, Charlotte, North Carolina, Pittsburg and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Stephanie Taylor's passion for fashion and academia expands beyond the classroom. She has that fashion "IT" factor and her ability to embrace the fashion culture, which is constantly changing, has allowed her to reach across demographics to cultivate this gift and her next stop is the beautiful and constantly evolving city of Greenville, SC.
Stephanie Taylor has landed in an area that can definitely learn from her. What she brings to Greenville, SC is a package that is diverse and fashion forward. This was not her choice but her stop to the Upstate is a divine appointment, one I believe is filled with potential to change the face of fashion in this city. I just happened to meet her and honoring my southern roots and the manners taught to me by my mom and dad, it will be very rude for me not to introduce her to YOU. I know "Who That Lady Is" now…her name is Stephanie Taylor.

OUTDOORS: Despite weather, anglers have high hopes for trout season opener
Next Monday is the opening of trout season, a date that also happens to be April Fool's Day. Although we often dream of pleasant spring days on our favorite streams, the reality is often a gray day with cold rain or snow, high and muddy streams and a lack of fishing action. Nevertheless, the opening of trout season marks a beginning-of-spring activity and hope for better days to come.
This week there is still several inches of snow covering the ground in this area and even more snow in the higher elevations, making it likely we will face tough fishing conditions. But even if the fishing conditions are not very good, it is important to get out next week or in the following week to celebrate a rite of spring.
Cold water temperatures mean that the fish will not be very active since their metabolism is slower in cold water, regardless of other conditions. If the streams are high, fast and cold then fishing will be tougher. In fast water the trout will seek shelter in side eddies, under cut banks or behind boulders. The current at the bottom of deep pools is not as strong and there are usually rocks to break the current and provide shelter.
Temperature at the deeper areas of pools will be less affected by cold weather and run-offs from snow or rain. During mid-day the water in shallow eddies or the inside of bends in the stream may warm a few degrees. These areas will probably have temperatures closer to the optimum 60-65 degrees that trout prefer.
Trout will not only seek shelter from swift current, but from the mud and silt which can clog their gills. Thus areas behind rocks or other protection are more likely to hold trout in early season high water conditions.
My advice is usually fish smaller local waters, wait until mid morning before going fishing and use bait such as nightcrawlers or salted minnows. Use only a minimum of split shot to get your bait down and tumbling along the bottom slowly and naturally.
Whenever streams are high, muddy or cold, artificial lures will be less effective. In addition to remaining in hard-to-reach areas for protection, the trout will be sluggish since their metabolism slows down considerably in water temperatures below 50 degrees. They will not chase a lure very far or fast. Lures with high visibility that can be fished slowly along bottom like Mepps or Panther Martin spinners are your best bet.
One other thing to keep in mind is your visibility to the trout. Anytime you are fishing small streams be sure to stay as far from the water you are fishing as possible. Wear drab or camo clothing and use brush, streamside evergreens or high banks to disguise your outline. With no foliage cover, your outline is highly visible and likely to spook the trout.
At this time of year the smaller streams are your best bet for finding fishable water conditions and cooperative trout. Chittenango, Oneida, Cowaselon, Oriskany and Sconondoa Creeks are always popular spots. There is still a lot of snow in the hills and the northern areas. Save the northern streams or the bigger waters like Mad River, Fish Creek or West Canada Creek until later.
DEC plans to stock more than 2.1 million catchable-size brook, brown and rainbow trout in 307 lakes and ponds and roughly 3,000 miles of streams. Spring stockings will include 1.51 million brown trout, 432,000 rainbow trout and 158,000 brook trout. Approximately 97,000 two-year-old brown trout 12-13 inches in length will also be stocked across the state.
Due to a disease outbreak last year at the Rome Hatchery approximately 131,000 brook and brown trout were lost that would have been part of the fall 2012 and spring 2013 stocking program. DEC claims the reductions will be spread out and is not anticipated to significantly impact the quality of fishing. Approximately 25,000 additional rainbow trout will be available for stocking in the upcoming season
A listing of waters stocked with all sizes of trout last year can be found at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/30467.html. Anglers searching for places to fish will be interested in the "I FISH NY Guide to Freshwater Fishing in New York State." This map/brochure provides information on over 320 lakes and pond and 110 rivers.
But even if fishing conditions are poor, remember that getting out is what counts. It is a chance to see if your skills are as rusty as the hooks you forgot to take out of the pocket of your fishing vest. You will see the signs of spring in the meadows and woods and probably meet some old friends along the stream. It whets the appetite and gets up your spirits for the season to come. Fishing season is here again!

There was a blackout most of the day, so I had lots of time to sketch.
good lord those ears. you could those as a scarf
It has a nice classical feel to it! what with the posing and the concept.
can you tie them in a knot...
Can you tie em in a bow!
Daisy's necklace seems to be placed wrong. Like the right side of the necklace should be farther to the right so that it actually encircles her neck, the way she's leaning.
I like the way you stylized Abbey's ears, although I wonder why his hands are placed on his body like that. Charlotte as an angel is a nice touch.
this is amazing
Can you throw it over your shoulder like a soldier marching low?
Janet looks really small, i initially thought it was Molly?
Your take on BCB always impresses me. And as wacko said, charlotte as an angel is just so nice there.

Each week intrepid reporter Rachel Grunwell will try out a new form of exercise to bring you the lowdown.
What is it? A "performer" climbs up a ladder to a platform, jumps off while holding on to a trapeze swing, and does tricks while "flying" through the air.
What's needed? Guts. And clothing that won't restrict movement or get in the way.
The experience: "The first time is for fear, second time for fun," says circus instructor Mike Baker, before urging me to leap off a platform and fly through the air on a trapeze swing.
It's okay for him, he's got his feet on the ground. It's me whose teetering on the edge of a platform that's the height of a two-storey building.
I'm at Inflight Entertainment, a kind of circus "school" and I can't believe I've climbed a wobbly ladder up to this platform. I can't bare to look down. It's hideously high.
Photographer Michael Craig sympathises: "It's not natural to want to step off that height," he says.
But I've chalked up my hands and am good to go.
Mike yells instructions from the ground: hang my toes over the edge of the platform, with feet spread shoulder-width apart, and stand tall so I don't get off-balance. A fellow "flyer" hands me the trapeze swing and I'm told to "over-grip" my right hand on to it so I don't slip off. My left hand holds the ladder.
"Keep smiling, you'll be fine," reassures Mike, who then asks if I'm ready. I breathe in deeply and nervously nod.
Mike yells "hup!" - the circus term for "Go for it!"
I leap off the edge, releasing the ladder and pulling my left hand on to the other side of the swing. I fly through the air screaming. I scare myself silly.
When the swing slows, Mike tells me to let go and fall several metres on to my bum and into the giant safety net below. Phew. I survived.
The second time I jump for the swing, my fear is replaced by a sense of fun, just as Mike promised. I'm smiling and soaking up the adrenaline-pumping thrill of flying trapeze. This. Is. Crazy. Good. Fun.
By my third go on the swing, Mike convinces me to hang upside down, and I do.
And the next time Mike reckons I'm ready to attempt a circus-style trick called a "knee-hang-to catch". This sees me hurtling through the air fast and hanging upside down from my knees. Then in a pendulum-type motion I let go of my knees and am in mid-air when I reach my arms out to be caught by a "catcher", Geoff Mills, who is swinging upside down on another trapeze just metres away.
Mike cues Geoff and I when to go at precisely the right time for Geoff to catch me in mid-air. It's all about timing.
Geoff catches me and I'm buzzing. Wow. I actually did that? What's more, I managed to do it again!
In-between each of my attempts on the swing, I watch members of the group I'm with take their turns. They include computer whiz Geoff (my mid-air catcher) and three women, whose occupations vary from podiatry to exercise instruction. Annie Minton is in her 50s and is inspirationally lithe.
It's incredible watching them twist, turn and try different tricks.
Mike guides each of us through every attempt on the swing and watches like a hawk to make sure we're all safe. He too is attached to each "flyer" via ropes and each flyer wears a harness in case of a fall.
After a 17-year career, Mike is an expert on the trapeze. He learned how to do tricks in America and enjoyed it so much he wanted to bring the entertainment here for Kiwis to try. Bringing the giant net into New Zealand via excess luggage, a customs officer asked him what kind of fish he hoped to catch. He told the man "actually I hope to catch people". It took some time to convince the man that Mike was not fibbing ...
Mike says he gets a buzz out of helping Aucklanders to "fly".
I reckon that's the craziest and coolest thing I've ever done.
How much? $35 (90-minute lesson).
Worth it? Amazing fun, great workout. My core and biceps ached for days afterwards (I could barely lift an arm to brush my teeth).
Try it: Contact Mike at firstname.lastname@example.com or check out inflight.net.nz. The training venue is at The Waitakere Gymnastics Stadium, Portage Rd, New Lynn.
Rating: 10/10

Joyce's adjustments have him back on track
ST. PETERSBURG -- The Rays' swarming offense has seen production from nearly every spot in the order at one point or another this season, a primary reason they have been able to narrowly outscore their opponents.
Lately, outfielder Matt Joyce has been in on the act after enduring a difficult stretch in July. Joyce hit just .222 in July but is hitting .349 in August and had homered three times in his last seven games entering Sunday's series finale with the Yankees. His Aug. 16 home run against the Blue Jays broke a career-long streak of 123 at-bats without a long ball, a drought Joyce said "felt like years."
Joyce has not undergone a major mechanical overhaul.
"It was just a couple small adjustments for me," he said. "I watched film and I was kind of out of position. I was getting away from my game. I wasn't balanced and wasn't swinging at the right pitches. The better you can control the strike zone, the more success you're going to have."
Joyce, who has been a streaky hitter throughout his career, said he is continually tweaking his approach even in his sixth year in the Majors.
"It's a learning process," he said. "I'm 29, but I still have those ups and downs. I keep learning and making adjustments. Hopefully, the downs even out."

| 9.9°C Belfast
Marouane Fellaini has called for retrospective action to be taken against Fulham defender Sascha Riether for his apparent stamp on Manchester United winger Adnan Januzaj at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
Riether was not punished for his actions by referee Lee Probert, which came in the last minute of Fulham's 3-1 defeat to United, but on the face of it it did look like the type of incident new Football Association chairman Greg Dyke wants to clamp down on.
"For me it was a red card for the right back," the Belgian told MUTV.
"I hope the referee looks at the video later."
United manager David Moyes was more philosophical as his team extended their unbeaten run.
"We are never going to ask for (protection)," said Moyes.
"We want him to get up. We don't want him to go down easily.
"He is a really honest boy and I thought there were a couple of times when fouls should have been given against him but they weren't."

Gasquet tops Davydenko, wins Qatar Open
Richard Gasquet won the Qatar Open for his eight career title on Saturday, coming from a set down to beat Nikolay Davydenko 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-3.
Having pulled out of the Sydney tournament because of elbow trouble, Gasquet said he will be ready for the Australian Open. The win in Qatar will give him a much-needed boost.
"I'm really happy with the way I won," he said. "I'm confident. When you're winning a tournament like that, it's perfect. I played a lot, so for sure I will be ready for Melbourne."
Davydenko, who struggled with injuries last season, called for the trainer early in the third set for treatment on his hip. In the end, Davydenko blamed his conditioning for the defeat.
"He beat me physically," he said. "He runs very well."
Davydenko led 3-0 in the first set against the 10th-ranked Gasquet, hitting a slew of forehand and backhand winners that kept Gasquet well beyond the baseline and helped neutralize his net play.
In the second set, the 44th-ranked Davydenko saved three break points early and broke Gasquet for 3-2 and had two break chances to go up 4-2. But Gasquet saved them to close to 4-3 and broke to tie it. The set went to a tiebreak and Gasquet outplayed a clearly fatigued Davydenko, who started racking up the unforced errors and losing control of his serve.
In the opening game of the third, Davydenko received about 10 minutes of hip treatment, but was no match for Gasquet. Davydenko broke back to make it 5-3 but the Frenchman broke for a third time when the Russian hit a backhand into the net - his 57th unforced error of the match.
"It's a big success for me," Gasquet told the crowd, which included French expatriates. "I fought a lot because it was very tough and we were both tired. He is so talented and he plays so fast. It was tough for my game, but I managed to win. A lot of good players have won here, Federer, Murray."
Davydenko said the turning point came down to the second set when he failed to convert the two break points that would have put him up 5-2.
"It was maybe was the time where I can say I can win the match," Davydenko said. "But, you know, it's the game. I start to be tired a little bit in the beginning of the second set. Was not so easy. For sure I was thinking 4-3 for me, I can do 5-3 ... But I know I already have no power for tiebreak."
