Monaco GP 2008
Sunday Team Quotes
Felipe Massa (3rd): "A shame to have ended up third because of a series of events that did not go in our favour, which can easily happen in these conditions and on this track. At the start, I was very quick and the car was perfect, but then I made a mistake at the first corner, braking on the yellow line and I lost a place to Robert. But after just a few laps I was right behind him and I knew I could push harder. We decided to switch strategies thinking the rain was going to return, but this turned out to be the wrong choice. On full tanks and on a drying track, the standard rain tyres did not have the same grip as the ones my nearest rivals were using. On top of that, there was a radio blackout between the car and the pits for part of the race. Given everything that happened, these six points are still important in light of the championship: we have only got through the first third of the season and there is still a long way to go."
Kimi Raikkonen (9th): "A very poor race for me, right from the off. There was a problem with a wheel before the start and we broke the rules, which meant I was given a drive-through penalty. During the race, my main problem was trying to get the tyres to work as well as possible. Then we decided to change the strategy as we expected it to rain again, but it didn't happen. Twice I had to change the nose after breaking the front wing. So, as you can see, a long run of things going wrong which explains the 0 points. I am sorry for Sutil, who I hit with just a few laps to go. I lost control of the car under braking coming out of the tunnel and I could do nothing to avoid him. It's a shame how things went today, as we had the potential to do well. It's true that I've lost the championship lead, but I always said the championship would be a very long one. Now we must prepare as well as possible for Canada where we will try to make up for this disappointment."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "Yesterday, after a great qualifying, it was easy for us to act like prophets foreseeing a possible lottery for today's race, given the weather forecast. We cannot deny we are disappointed with this definitely negative outcome, the result of a combination of errors on our part and bad luck. We got off on the wrong foot, with an infringement of the rules in preparing Kimi's car on the grid, minutes before the start, which resulted in a drive through penalty for the driver. Then we decided to switch our strategy, going for a one-stop race, on the basis that we expected the rain to return and this did not happen. With hindsight is it easy to say we should have made different choices, but the reality is that, at every level, we did not meet our usual high standards. After this long preamble, the overall picture at the end of the first third of the season is still a positive one. We have taken four wins and the same number of poles from six races and we are still solidly in the lead of the Constructors' classification, with Kimi and Felipe still in the hunt for the lead in the Drivers.' Now we must look ahead and get as well prepared as possible for the Canadian Grand Prix. Here we showed we were capable of fighting for the lead and we want to do the same in Montreal, another track that did not suit us so well last year."
Luca Baldisserri, Head of Trackside Operations: "We are very disappointed with this result which is definitely below our level of expectation. We made mistakes which we have to look at to ensure we don't do the same again and we also made a few strategy choices, which all things considered turned out to be wrong even if it easy to be wise after the event. We must draw the right conclusions from this weekend, without colouring our judgement with emotion. We showed we were competitive on a track that traditionally has not suited us, but we did not work at our usual high standard. In less than a fortnight we will face a similar challenge in Montreal, where in 2007, we had problems. We really want to make up for today's disappointment."
BMW Sauber
Robert Kubica (2nd): "I am very happy with the result. I didn't expect us to have the pace to finish second. It was a great race with very difficult driving conditions, and we did not expect such heavy rain. I had visibility and tyre problems throughout the whole race. I was trying to do as few mistakes as possible, as it is very dangerous if you make a mistake here."
Nick Heidfeld (14th): "After the awful qualifying yesterday the early laps of the race went very well for me, despite the tricky track conditions. I was up to fifth, but unfortunately Fernando Alonso made a mistake and crashed into the side of my car. This caused heavy damage to the left hand side of my car, and due to a puncture I had to pit. I was then last and, because of the damaged car, I had no chance at all to improve. It is a Sunday to forget. But this is not too easy."
Dr. Mario Theissen, BMW Motorsport Director: "We expected a drama here in Monaco and the Weather God gave it to us. It was essential to continuously adjust our race strategy according to the weather and the incidents on the track. With Robert this worked perfectly, so he was able to move up from fifth on the grid to second. Nick had an exceptionally good start and had fought his way through to fifth when his car was damaged in a collision. This dropped him out of the points. It was our fourth podium in 2008 and a strong performance from the team."
Willy Rampf, Technical Director: "This was not a race for the nervous. The conditions at the start were very difficult. Because of the uncertainty over the weather it was crucial to make the right tyre decision for the first stint. Robert stayed cool and, even during the period with the worst visibility, he didn't make any mistake. We continuously had to adapt our strategy, so it was a true challenge for the engineers on the pit wall. Nick gained a lot of places after the start, and was doing well in the race in fifth when he was the victim of a crash and ended up at the back of the pack in a hopeless situation. After the fourth podium this year we are quite happy with the amount of points we have scored in the first third of the season."
Fernando Alonso (10th): "We were not able to achieve what I think would have been possible in a normal race. The track was always changing; the car was sensitive and I made some mistakes. After that, we tried to change our strategy, but it did not really pay off, which is a shame. As we are not fighting for the championship we certainly took our chances and some risky choices, but today that did not work and we must hope that the next race in Montreal goes better."
Nelson Piquet (DNF, Accident): "I had a difficult weekend and I am extremely disappointed. The conditions on the track were changing, but we took the risk to switch to dry tyres when the track was still damp and tricky, which is when I went off and damaged the car. But I will not dwell on this and feel sorry for myself. I must remain focussed for the Canadian Grand Prix."
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering: "Setting the third fastest lap in the race reinforces the progress that we have made, even on this very different type of circuit, but that is all we take away from Monaco. It's been a difficult weekend, which ended in a difficult race where we did not realise our potential."
Flavio Briatore, Managing Director: "This was a missed opportunity, which is all the more frustrating because we were competitive today. Fernando drove an aggressive race, but after his off it was clear that he was too far behind to finish in the points. Nelson's race was disappointing, but Monaco remains a difficult test for a driver and it is a very unusual circuit. From here we now concentrate on the next race in Canada."
Kazuki Nakajima (7th): "It was really a difficult race, especially at the beginning when the track was very wet. I couldn't see anything in front of me, or at the rear, so I just tried to keep the car on track. I think we had some luck with the weather and the track conditions as I was on a one stop strategy and it really worked well for me. It was a shame to have a problem in my pit-stop, but I still finished in the points so I am quite happy."
Nico Rosberg (DNF, Accident):
Sam Michael, Technical Director: "It was good to get two points, but not a satisfactory race as we should have scored much more, but there are probably plenty of teams saying that today! Kazuki drove well and didn't make any mistakes. He would have finished higher up the order, but we had a problem with a wheel nut on his final pit-stop and he lost places as a result. It was a good effort for his first time around Monaco in a Formula One car. Nico made a couple of pit-stops for damaged front wings, and then had a crash on the entry to the swimming pool. He has been very fast around here all weekend so he will be really frustrated to come away with nothing. He's currently undergoing medical checks. We'll now look forward to a better result in Canada."
Red Bull-Renault
Mark Webber (4th): "That was good, a great result which gives us a lot of points. It wasn't the most exciting race in the world in terms of racing, but it was very difficult early on in the wet conditions and we were aqua-planning at Casino. It was definitely over the edge for the intermediate tyres for a few laps when it was raining hard, but then it started to dry and we had to think about changing tyres. It would have been good to have had a little bit more fuel as we had to change to dry tyres maybe five laps earlier than we would have liked. It wasn't ideal, but the team did such a good job, both at the track and at the factory in Milton Keynes, it's great to get a strong result."
David Coulthard (DNF, Accident): "It's was always going to be a race where you had to be very careful at the beginning. I was having difficulty with my downshifts and got caught out on the entry to Casino; I corrected, corrected and corrected, but then ran out of road. It looked like Sebastien (Bourdais) had a similar event and then found me in an area where he was about to have his crash. I'm extremely disappointed as this is a race where keeping out of trouble gives you a good chance of getting points. But, that said, the boys did a great job to recover the car after the qualifying accident and I'm obviously very happy that they scored a fourth place with Mark."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "A great race from Mark today. He was one of the few drivers who didn't put a wheel wrong throughout the two hour long race. Unfortunately our cross-over strategy to go onto slick tyres was about five or six laps too early, which allowed Raikkonen and Sutil, who had the benefit of going several laps longer, to just sneak ahead. But Mark kept it all together and benefited from Kimi's accident to finish a well deserved fourth. It's a great result for him and the team. David's weekend got off to a bad start and finished in very much the same way. Nothing much has gone right for him this weekend, but I'm sure he'll bounce back in Canada."
Fabrice Lom, Renault: "We are very happy with this result, it's very good for the team. It's a shame for David, but it was so difficult to stay on the track at the start. Engine-wise, it's difficult on this track and with the new regulations to keep the power down, so it's more a question of keeping the power down than having the power here. I think we showed that the drivability of the Renault engine is not so bad, we are there."
Timo Glock (12th): "That just wasn't a good day for me. It would have been possible to score points but I just made too many mistakes and I am sorry for the team. I made a good start and passed Webber on the run down to the first corner. Then I spun a couple of laps later and had to come in. We switched to extreme wets for the first stint but they became harder as the track dried. Soon after our pit stop the track dried out further and we pitted again for dry tyres. Then it was just about bringing the car home. We will hope for better next time."
Jarno Trulli (13th): "This has been a hard weekend and today was one of those days when things just didn't work out for us. At one stage it was raining really hard and we took the gamble to go on extreme wet tyres. That went well at the beginning because I was quicker and I did several good overtaking manoeuvres. But then the rain stopped and I was really struggling with extreme wets on a drying track. Unfortunately here you are always stuck in traffic and I lost a lot of positions during our pit stops. Towards the end of the race we put the dry tyres on and I brought the car home."
Tadashi Yamashina, Team Principal: "If we had kept up the performance we had shown in qualifying we would have scored some good points. Instead it was a very difficult day. Both drivers made good starts and they were in good shape for the race early on. But then Timo did some spins which we were not expecting. Jarno also struggled for pace on the extreme wet tyres while the track dried and other cars made up ground. The drivers lacked confidence with the car here while our tyre change strategy was not suited for the weather we faced today. So the race went against us in all possible areas and we have a lot to analyse. Now we must keep pushing to do better in Canada."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Sebastian Vettel (5th): "The race today was extremely difficult, especially at the start when with all the water on the track surface there was a lot of aquaplaning. But we were very strong as the track began to dry and that's what made the difference. It's great to score my first points of the season at Monaco and with the new car as well. A big thank you to the team, who worked so hard to understand the car and improve it over the weekend. And a special thanks for the pit stop which was fantastic and gained me two places. These points are a nice present for one of our mechanics, Gaggio, who has been with the team for ever and we will have a nice party for him tonight with something to celebrate as this is his last race with the team."
Sebastien Bourdais (DNF, Accident): "The conditions were complicated as it is never easy to drive on these intermediate tyres when there is standing water on the track surface. As far as my accident was concerned, David had gone off the track. For some reason, even though it seemed to have stopped raining by then, there was more water on the track at that point than before and when I saw the yellow flags, I backed off a bit more and lost control of the rear of the car."
Franz Tost, Team Principal: "Fifth place, four points, a new car and all at Monacofantastic! It was an exciting race and Vettel did an incredible job, especially at the beginning with these exceptionally difficult circumstances when he had a new car totally under control. Later, when he changed onto the dry tyres, he was one of the fastest on track. Doing this on his first appearance in Monaco in an F1 car and with the new car is really a fantastic performance. The team did a good job with the new car, especially as it did not look so good after Thursday, but over the next two days, the car was given a completely new set-up, so congratulations to the engineers and everyone in the team for doing a fantastic job. As for Bourdais, he lost control of the car as he had to lift off a bit when Coulthard crashed. But there are plenty more races this year for him to show what he can do."
Rubens Barrichello (6th): "It feels great to be back in the points today and I'm really happy for myself and for the team. We had a good race, however it was unfortunate that I was held up by Trulli for so long early on, otherwise it could have been even better. I'm glad to get the monkey off my back in terms of scoring points as it has been quite a wait, but I never lost the faith. We are capable of good points results and I hope this is the start of a stronger period for us. We just need to keep our heads down and keep pushing forward."
Jenson Button (11th): "My race today was really disappointing. I had a bad start and dropped a couple of places after getting caught on the inside of turn one. I got round the outside of Rubens in the hairpin and Webber after the tunnel going into the chicane. I was alongside Heidfeld through the Swimming Pool when he overshot the corner. On the exit, I thought there was enough space for me to go down the inside but there wasn't and I touched his rear wheel with my nose, breaking my front wing and damaging the bargeboards. So unfortunately that was my race compromised on the first lap. Later in the race, I got hit from behind by Kovalainen which damaged the rear and spun me off at the chicane. So it was a messy race and I'm disappointed as we should have come away from here with some points given the pace of the car. However Rubens had a good drive and stayed out of trouble to bring points home for the team, so well done to him."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "Today's race was full of incident and attrition with Rubens doing a splendid job to keep clear of all the trouble and drive a very disciplined race into sixth place. Jenson's race had a setback when he collided with Heidfeld towards the end of the first lap, and as the race evolved, there was no opportunity for him to get back into the points despite showing great speed at times. It is satisfying to score points once again and our pace this weekend deserved it. We had a relatively incident free weekend which is always welcome at Monaco and set the stage for a good performance. Throughout practice we made good progress with the car and were competitive in all conditions. The disappointment was obviously qualifying where neither car made the top ten because of the yellow flags which resulted from Coulthard's accident. The wet race provided the drama we needed to get a car into the points and we are thankful for that. We now move on to Montreal which is a very different type of racetrack. We will have a new low downforce package and a number of new parts therefore we look forward to improving the car a little further."
Force India-Ferrari
Adrian Sutil (DNF, Damage): "I can't believe it, it was so close. It feels like a pain in my heart. It is like a dream gone to a nightmare - suddenly you are in the car and it looks all fantastic, then you have to accept it is not going to happen. We had a really good strategy and it seemed to work and we were so close to the podium and the points. It was after the restart after the final safety car that Kimi had a problem under braking and crashed into the back of my car. The race was over and it was a real shock. A few tears came out as the adrenaline was high - I just can't explain it. All the same I am so pleased that we did show what we can finally do as a team."
Giancarlo Fisichella (DNF, Gearbox): "At the beginning of the race I was just careful to be out of the trouble, but then I lost first and second gear and I was running third gear. Even with the conditions the lap times were competitive and then I lost fourth gear and the race was over. It's a real shame for the team, especially after Adrian's performance that we could not score our first points here."
Dr. Vijay Mallya, Team Principal: "It was the saddest moment of my Motor Sports career. To achieve a top five position in Formula One and that too in Monaco was a dream that ended just seven minutes and less than five laps from the chequered flag with Kimi Raikkonen's Ferrari running into the rear of Sutil's car. Adrian Sutil drove a brilliant race, exhibited superlative car control in wet and slippery conditions and proved conclusively to the World that he is an exceptionally talented driver. All members of the Force India Formula One team came together and executed a brilliant race strategy and car set up. We have demonstrated that we are a much improved and competitive team now and we certainly had an opportunity to score championship points today. Giancarlo Fisichella has been troubled with gearbox problems all this weekend and lost three gears during the race despite which he was achieving quick lap times. We retired him from the race so as to avoid further damage. This performance in Monaco has given a huge boost to the confidence of the team and our drivers. Though we are sadly disappointed we will take away many positives and renew our determination to demonstrate further improvement over the rest of the season."
Mike Gascoyne, Chief Technical Officer: "I suppose sport has its highs and lows and unfortunately today Force India felt both of them. Giancarlo had a difficult day in his 200th race; soon into the race he lost first and second gear and, very impressively, drove for around 30 laps without them. He then lost fourth and we had no choice but to retire him. Adrian fast made up places in the race and with our one stop strategy we were able to keep him out and he could stop when it was dry. When the safety car came out we were comfortable and under control until Raikkonen lost it and went into the back of Adrian and broke his rear suspension. But that is life and I am sure that if we did it once, we can do it again."
Lewis Hamilton (1st): "I am absolutely over the moon. To win here in Monaco is the highlight of my career and an occasion I will always remember. I want to thank everybody in the team for their fantastic job, and also my family for their continuous support. It was a very eventful race. I started well and immediately overtook Kimi, and also saw a chance to attack Felipe, but then the rain got heavier and visibility worsened. At the Tabac corner, there was a lot of water on the track, and suddenly I had oversteer and hit the barrier. It was just a slight touch, but the tyre was damaged and I had to pit. Fortunately, the first Safety Car period helped me to close the gap to the front. We changed our strategy, and I had to make only one more stop. When I was about 40 seconds ahead the team told me over the radio to take it easy. The second Safety Car period brought more excitement, but I was able to control the race also after the second re-start. What a day and what a result!"
Heikki Kovalainen (8th): "An extremely difficult race with any chance of finishing in a top position already gone when I could not engage a gear at the start of the formation lap. Consequently I had to change the steering wheel in the pit lane from where I had to start my race. I tried to push as hard as I could, but could only go at my real pace when there was a gap. It is a pity, because my car was good and the speed was there. At least I scored one point at the end and now look forward to the next Grand Prix where I will go maximum attack to finish with good results."
Ron Dennis, Team Principal: "Today was a great day - and a fantastic team performance. Our guys instigated a brilliant strategy change, under pressure, after Lewis touched the Tabac barrier and damaged his right rear tyre early in the race. Had Heikki not had a problem on the grid, we would have had the pace for a 1-2 finish. That was a disappointment for him and us, but he drove a fantastic race thereafter and his time will surely come. Lewis's sensational win has taken him back to the lead of the Drivers' World Championship - and we now go to Montreal, scene of his first grand prix win 12 months ago, in a strong position to continue our challenge for the Championships. A great victory for the team and all of our Partners."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "Lewis was sensational and his performance was just terrific. We had the best strategy, the best speed and certainly a little luck as well. For me, this sixth victory in Monaco for McLaren and Mercedes and 54th in total together with McLaren is our greatest so far. Sorry for Heikki, without his problem in selecting first gear at the start of the formation lap he would have been a very strong contender for a podium finish - at least he scored one point. A big thank you to the whole team who worked so hard and to all our partners, particularly Vodafone for all their support. The fight for the championship is wide open, and we certainly want to go for it."

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Wilson says Texas can spend their money any way they want, but they shouldn't string him along.
C.J. Wilson joined The Dan Patrick Show to discuss what he thinks is the most unfriendly ballpark to pitchers, the Texas Rangers bypassing him and using all their money on Yu Darvish, pranking Mike Napoli by releasing his cell phone number and the crowd reaction when he faces the Texas Rangers for the first time on the road.
Which is the most unfriendly ballpark to pitchers?
"Unfriendly to pitchers? Cincinnati is pretty hitter friendly. I would probably say there. Cincinnati or Yankees Stadium maybe down the lines is pretty short, so there's a lot of home runs that go out that maybe would be outs in other places."
Did you feel slighted that the Texas Rangers used all that money on Yu Darvish and not you?
"No not really. They are entitled to do whatever they want. It's their money. I just…the only thing I was to get upset about was that they kept saying 'Oh hey we are going to make an offer. We are going to come at you or whatever and they didn't.' It kind of wasted my time, which I feel like especially in the off-season my time is invaluable because the longer the off-season the more fun things I can do. If I was able to make a decision in early November then that would have been a lot easier for me. They dragged it out a month making me think they were going to make an offer, but the fact that they didn't is no big deal. The fact that they paid so much money for Darvish and it's their prerogative. They can spend that money anyway they want."
Explain Mike Napoli's cell phone number being released. Was that meant to be a prank or was it an accident?
"Well it was a prank of course. I thought the part that was supposed to be funny was that I made it look like I was giving him my phone number, so everybody that would call him would be like 'Hey C.J. and then he's like this isn't C.J.! This is Mike Napoli!' People would be like oh my gosh it's Mike Napoli, which is kind of funny when you think about it, but nobody liked it besides me and my friends and my teammates and people on the Rangers didn't think it was very funny, so whatever. Sometimes you take a risk like that and you risk some sort of negative backlash or whatever, but I'm not an expert level prankster. I'm just a guy that likes to throw pranks once and awhile. I learned my lesson. You can only prank people with a sense of humor, I guess."
How do you think the homecoming against the Texas Rangers will be?
"You know I could have gone to any team and it would still be the same. A lot of people were like oh you went to the Angels? I am from LA, so where else would I rather go?"

I found this on a web site and thought you guys would find it interesting. Also could you explain how this works in the context of gradualist evolution.
"The punctuated reality of the fossil record is best exemplified by the "Cambrian explosion." Virtually every animal phyla (including chordates and many phyla now extinct) appeared during the short geological moment called the Cambrian explosion (13). This period of time is now known to have covered a period of time of less than 10 million years (14, 15). The diversity of life and the variety of body designs has led Stephen Jay Gould to make the following statement:"
"We have reason to think that all major anatomical designs may have made their appearance at that time."16

text: Nadal was given a fight by Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga before the Spaniard prevailed 6-3 7-6 [AFP]Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal on Saturday set up their third final meeting at the Monte Carlo Masters, with the Serb top seed the last obstacle to more clay-court history for Spain's Nadal. Nadal is one win away from a record ninth straight trophy at the Mediterranean venue and has already defeated world number one Djokovic here in 2009 and in 2012. Djokovic had a stress-free semi-final win over Italian Fabio Fognini, crushing the outsider 6-2, 6-1 in 52 minutes. Earlier, Nadal survived a storming comeback attempt from Jo-Wilfried Tsonga before finally holding off the sixth seed to win 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) and take his accustomed place in the final. Improvements Both finalists have made huge strides this week, with Djokovic playing better each day on an injured ankle and Nadal regaining his confidence on clay, a surface on which he has dominated for nearly a decade. "We always play long matches," said Djokovic. "It will be very demanding but this is not the first time we have played on clay. Hopefully this one will be the lucky time for me." Nadal has the edge in meetings between the pair and won three of their four clashes in 2012. Nadal, seeded third but always the man to beat on the dirt, spent 96 minutes on court as Tsonga rallied from a set and 5-1 down, breaking the Spaniard twice but failing in the second-set tiebreak which decided the dramatic contest. Sealing victory on his fifth match point, Nadal takes his place in a fifth consecutive final since making his comeback in February after seven months out with knee problems. The 26-year-old Spaniard stands one win away from an historic ninth straight trophy in the principality, where his solitary loss came in 2003 as a teenager. The win was the second narrow escape in as many days for Nadal, who had to battle back from a set down to beat Bulgarian Grigor Dimitrov in their quarter-final. Nadal has now won 46 straight matches here, while Frenchman Tsonga has still never beaten a top 5 opponent on clay from eight attempts. Tsonga said the windy, chilly conditions did not help his game. "I was not annoyed by the bad conditions with a lot of wind - anyway, they were the same for both," he said. "But when you play a long rally and the wind suddenly blows the ball back into the court... against a lower-ranked player, I'm able to pull out of the bad situation thanks to luck sometimes. "But against Rafa I always try to be aggressive, it's the only way for me. If I stay back, there's no way I can win. I have to have the right mix between patience and aggressiveness."

Task force to study engineering education and workforce demands
The University of Texas System Board of Regents Chairman Gene Powell and UT System Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa, M.D., have announced the creation of the Task Force on Engineering Education for Texas in the 21st Century. The goal of the Task Force is to determine the current state of engineering degree programs in Texas, study current and future demand for engineers, and identify strategies for the Texas Legislature and higher education leaders that will foster student success in the field of engineering while at the same time supporting economic growth across the state.
Texas has led the nation in economic strength over the past several years. Economists forecast that this growth will continue for the foreseeable future with outstanding companies moving to Texas and new companies being started by our citizens on a daily basis. These endeavors will all require a substantial number of engineers from various disciplines.
"The field of engineering is incredibly important, both to our state and to our nation, and enhances the economic vibrancy in Texas," said Chancellor Francisco G. Cigarroa. "We need to determine if our higher education system has the capacity, including enough faculty, to prepare our engineering students and produce not only enough engineers but the right types of engineers to support the increased workforce demands of Texas."
Task Force members will review and identify key issues related to demand, capacity, efficiency, supply and research related to engineering programs in Texas, how these issues impact Texas and the nation, as well as what the UT System can do to be responsive to students' needs and workforce demand.
Task Force members will consider questions such as:
- What is the current and future demand for undergraduate and graduate engineers over the next 25 years?
- What is the current engineering education capacity for undergraduate and graduate students at UT institutions and how does that compare with the need?
- How can Texas engineering schools better collaborate and coordinate their efforts, facilities, faculty and strengths to more efficiently and effectively meet the demand for engineers?
- How can we prepare and attract K-12 students to engineering programs?
"If we are to remain a key partner in the continuing success of Texas, we have to develop a better understanding of future engineering needs," Powell said. "In order to plan aggressively to meet those needs, we need the answers to important questions about undergraduate and graduate engineering education, as well as workforce demand."
Task Force members will include:
Regent Alex Cranberg, UT System, Co-Chair
President David Daniel, UT Dallas, Co-Chair
Mr. Jeffery D. Hildebrand, Hilcorp Energy Company, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer
Mr. Sam Dawson, UT Austin External Engineering Advisory Board
Dr. John Randall, UT Dallas External Engineering Advisory Board

WADA Testing (Phase II)
Yale-New Haven Hospital,
20 York Street,
New Haven, CT
Go to the first floor of the East Pavilion and sign in at the Admitting Desk.
WADA testing is a procedure performed during angiography that assesses which side of your brain has your language and memory functions. During the test, one side of the brain is put to sleep (anesthetized) by injecting a medication into the carotid artery. There are 4 to 8 minutes during which the activities of one side of the brain are suspended, so the abilities of the other side of the brain can be tested in isolation. Typical uses of the test include the lateralization of language abilities (the surgeon wants to know if the side of the brain being operated on is the speech side or not), and a determination that the patient will not lose memory after surgery.
Patient Instructions
- You will be admitted to the hospital for one night following the procedure.
- You will have pre-study blood drawn.
- You must inform the doctor of any allergies to medications.
- Drink only clear liquids after midnight (e.g. tea, clear broth, apple juice, water).
- Take your daily medications as usual (unless your physician gives you other instructions). If you are diabetic and require daily insulin injections, ask your primary care physician when you should take your insulin and inform us.
- You will be given local anesthetic into the groin prior to the passage of a catheter (a small, flexible tube) through the skin into the artery.
- You will notice a warm feeling lasting approximately ten to twenty seconds after the catheter is positioned within the carotid artery, and x-rays are taken while x-ray dye is injected through the catheter.
- You will hear noise as the x-ray machine takes pictures.
- You must remain motionless while the dye is injected and the x-rays are taken.
- You will be lying on the x-ray table for one to two hours.
- You will be asked to read words, identify objects, pictures, shapes and numbers, and answer questions about what you are shown.
- The catheter will be removed at the end of the test.
- Pressure will be applied to the site of the catheter insertion for ten to fifteen minutes until clotting forms and bleeding stops. A small dressing will be applied to the site. Stitches are not required.
- You will be able to eat and drink after the procedure is completed.
- You will need to lie flat for several hours to prevent bleeding at the injection site.
Intracranial Monitoring (Phase III)
In addition to the previously described MRI, SPECT and PET scans, neuropsychological assessment and EEG monitoring, some patients will require a more invasive evaluation. Approximately 40-60% of the patients considered for surgical treatment will need intracranial monitoring with implanted electrodes to localize the epileptogenic area responsible for seizure onset.
Intracranial monitoring consists of depth electrodes (thin wires placed deep in the brain to detect seizure activity that cannot be detected by electrodes placed on the surface of the head) or subdural or epidural strips or grids (small plastic strips or sheets containing electrodes placed on the surface of the brain underneath the skull).
During intracranial monitoring a team of research neuropsychologists may also perform brain mapping through electrical stimulation of the implanted intracranial electrodes. They are able to pinpoint the functional areas of the brain which are then safeguarded during surgery.
You will have a pre-operative visit prior to the scheduled surgery date. At this time you will meet with an Anesthesiologist who will be with you during surgery. Instructions regarding surgery will also be provided at this appointment. You will have a visit with the neurosurgeon for any additional questions you may have prior to surgery, history and physical exam, and to provide permission to perform the surgery.
What to expect
- The morning of the procedure you will arrive from home.
- You will be taken to the operating room where you will have anesthesia, then the neurosurgeon will place the electrodes.
- Once the surgery is completed (approximately 6-8 hours) you will go to the Neurological Intensive Care Unit. Pediatric patients will be taken to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit. You will spend the first night in the intensive care unit.
- The day after surgery, you will have an MRI, a CT scan, and a SPECT Cerebral Blood Flow study.
- After the above scans have been completed you will be taken to a specialized room that has audio-visual monitoring. Your electrodes will be connected to a specialized machine that will record your brain wave activity, and your behavior will be recorded with a camera in the room. This phase is similar to Phase I.
- You will have a large, bulky tight dressing on your head. Your face and eyes may be slightly swollen.
- After sufficient seizure activity is recorded, the electrodes will be removed. You will return to the operating room for the removal of the electrodes.
- You will be discharged to home a few days after the second operation.

A Hadfield man who had a rockstar style tantrum and threw his television out his bedroom window has been given a curfew.
Samuel Doyle admitted causing more than £2,000 worth of damage to his rented Buxton flat, on Fairfield Road, on October 21 last year.
Magistrates told the 30-year-old his actions caused a danger to the public and that the consequences could have been much worse.
The defendant, who admitted damaging internal fixtures and furnishings belonging to his landlord Simon Graham last month after falling out with a housemate, was sentenced at High Peak Magistrates' Court on Monday.
On arrival at the scene, police, who were called to reports of a disturbance at about 11.15pm, saw smashed glass and debris on the floor and a television fly out of the window.
When an inebriated Doyle spotted officers outside, he said: "Oh good, I could do with some more entertainment."
Two double glazed windows, a 32-inch television and a microwave were smashed, and two leather sofas, a coffee table, the walls and the kitchen units were damaged in the incident, totalling £2,200 of repairs.
The probation service reported that the defendant, now of Torside Mews, showed a lack of remorse but Annis Rowlands, defending, said her client was sorry but had failed to say because he was quiet.
He was sentenced to a 12-month community order consisting of alcohol treatment and supervision requirements and a four-week curfew.
Doyle was also ordered to pay £1,800 in compensation.

Lincoln Mayor Don Wesely issued the following statement today the weekly meeting with the City Council and department directors:
"I have not been pleased by the difficulties we have had over the past few months regarding billing for ambulance services provided by the Lincoln Fire and Rescue Department.
"However, I am pleased by the hard work that has been applied to this problem over the past two weeks. As a result of this hard work, I believe we have resolved many of the difficulties that were delaying billing for ambulance services.
"We will continue to assign the highest priority to completely resolving this issue as soon as possible. In addition, as I announced last week, Russ Bayer will be retained as a consultant to provide an independent review of the Fire Department's ambulance service, including a specific review of the Department's business plan and billing process.
"We have taken strong but deliberative action in response to this problem. There is no need for overreaction. There is a need for action, and action has been taken.
"It is important to point out that all the information for billing was already there, except for the hospital patient identification number. Information Services Manager Doug Thomas has done a good job of improving the way the Fire Department and hospital files are being matched. Again, the information was all there, but matching it had been the main issue. That is now resolved.
"I want to thank the administrative team I assigned to help the Fire Department deal with the data and billing problems they were having with their billing contractor. Rather than continue the argument of who promised to do what in the billing process, the city decided to do it and get it done.
"In addition to Doug, I commend Finance Director Don Herz, Budget Officer Steve Hubka and my Chief of Staff Mark Bowen for their hard work and extra effort which, in cooperation with the Fire Department and its billing contractor, has legally resolved this issue."

When the Kimbell Art Museum opened Oct. 4, 1972, nothing in the cards indicated the collection begun by Fort Worth industrialist Kay Kimbell and his wife, Velma, would ever be worthy of the splendid architecture of the building.
Today, there is no doubt that the treasures within have surpassed the glories of the shell.
For its 40th anniversary, the Kimbell is mounting a well-deserved self-congratulatory party that displays 220 of its best acquisitions -- including a few pieces of Kay and Velma Kimbell's original foundation stock -- that thrust it from an admired building to an international art destination. It is the most extensive showcase of the permanent collection ever mounted, and it illustrates the breathtaking scope of art masterpieces from the past 5,000 years.
"The Kimbell at 40: An Evolving Masterpiece" will be on exhibit until Dec. 30.

In 1972, critics lavished praise on the dramatic concrete cycloid vaults designed by Louis Kahn while managing to say little or nothing about the collection.
Hilton Kramer, then-art critic for The New York Times, said, "It's one of the greatest buildings of its kind in the world." Henry J. Seldis, who wrote for the Los Angeles Times and The Washington Post, noted that the building "is one of the most advanced concepts for the display of art I have ever seen." His only comment about the art was that it appeared to be a "catholic collection."
At the time of the opening, Charles Cowles, then-publisher of Artforum magazine, echoed critics about the building. "It's quite impressive. It's spectacular," he said.
But he was also extremely prescient. "When the world's art dealers have a foremost painting to offer for sale, they will offer it to Fort Worth. Five years from now, half of the paintings we are seeing tonight will be in the basement because they will get better."
He was so right.
The paintings, sculptures and objects did get better, much better. Many of the works that were on display in 1972 are no longer in the permanent collection. There are no American works, nor is there anything that post-dates 1945. The Kimbell leaves American art to the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, and anything after 1945 to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth.
This exhibit was put in the hands of Jennifer Casler Price, the Kimbell's curator for Asian and non-Western art. She begins the journey through time in the lower gallery, dividing the space in two. On one side are Kahn's original models of the museum as he first presented his ideas and as the building evolved into its final iteration. Looking toward the near future is a model of the expansion, the Renzo Piano building that is due to open in late 2013.
The other half of the gallery showcases some of the few remaining pieces of the Kimbell family's original collection, which was acquired from the late 1940s through the 1960s. Two of these, Miss May Sartoris (c. 1860) by Frederic Leighton and the pristine S elf-Portrait (c. 1781) by Elisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun, are considered iconic works of the artists and of the Kimbell's collection.
The collection begins to take form
When the first director, Richard Fargo Brown (1965-1979), was hired, he swiftly began expanding the collection, which was deep in British and French portraits, to include works from around the globe. He established the institution's founding concept to "form a collection of the highest possible aesthetic quality derived from any and all periods in man's history, and in any medium or style."
His wide-ranging acquisitive interests begin on the main floor of the museum, where the artworks are displayed chronologically as they were acquired. Each of the four Kimbell directors gets a share of the real estate.
Before the building even opened, Brown had expanded the permanent collection to include works by Pablo Picasso, Edvard Munch, Jusepe de Ribera, Joseph Mallord William Turner, Francisco de Goya, Edgar Degas and Claude Monet and pieces from China, Japan, South America and Africa.
One of the pieces that he acquired was a Chinese scroll painting with an impeccable provenance. At one time it was in the Manchu imperial collection, held in the Forbidden City, and it bears the seals of a number of Chinese emperors. "For Rick Brown, who was no specialist in Chinese art, and with no curator of Asian art to help him, that was a stellar purchase. It is our most important Chinese painting to this day," Price says.
"What he was able to do in that period and the range of material and the level of quality is astounding. From that point on, the collection has grown upon that foundation and those ideals."
Brown's serendipitous acquisitions of rare and unusual artworks began a trend that seems to have blessed all the subsequent Kimbell directors.
In 1975, Kay Fortson was elevated to president of the Kimbell's board of directors. As businesses from Kay Kimbell's estate were sold, the proceeds were used to make acquisitions of an even higher caliber, says Price. With the new money stream, Brown was able to afford Portrait of Dr. Francisco de Pisa, by El Greco.
He won a pitched battle with the Louvre over The Raising of Lazarus, by Duccio, from the estate of David Rockefeller. Because it had been in a private American collection, the Kimbell was chosen by Rockefeller's estate so that the painting could remain on public view in the U.S., says Eric M. Lee, the current Kimbell director.
Brown was in negotiations to buy Cézanne's Man in a Blue Smock in 1979 when he died unexpectedly. The board approved the acquisition and posthumously dedicated it in Brown's honor. It has become the Kimbell's most requested loan, Lee says.
One of the primary reasons the Kimbell has the pieces that it does is the museum's board. "It's small, efficient and they act quickly. When it's important, the board finds a way of acquiring," Lee says.
Finding dazzling and iconic works
In 1980, Edmund (Ted) Pillsbury was hired as director. The Kimbell added some of its most significant paintings during his 18-year tenure. This is where the galleries become dazzling, with works by Joan Miró, Tiepolo, Murillo, Peter Paul Rubens, Fra Angelico, Gauguin, Matisse, Titian, Tintoretto, Saenredam and two of the most iconic Kimbell paintings, The Cheat With the Ace of Clubs, by Georges de La Tour, and The Cardsharps, by Caravaggio.
"From the time Ted took the helm, he had at his disposal a healthy acquisition budget, a supportive board and the expertise of a curatorial and conservation staff. Consequently, what you see in the first decade of his directorship is an explosion, and this is where the installation gets challenging. So much of everything is of stellar quality," Price says.
The year 1981 was tremendous for acquisitions, Lee says. Oil revenues were up and Pillsbury bought 16 works of art, including paintings by old masters, an Olmec sculpture, a four-armed Ganesha from India, a Japanese wine flask and a pair of winged deities from Assyria. It makes for a schizophrenic-looking gallery, but the chronological hanging is also exciting because it illustrates the constantly evolving collection and the broad-ranging eye of the curatorial staff.
Pillsbury often had to purchase on the fly, with the supporting validation coming after the conservation staff had time to examine the works.
It was conservators who helped Pillsbury ascertain that the Caravaggio was indeed an original and not, as many supposed, a copy. When the painting was being restored, a backing was removed and the original seal of the first owner, Cardinal del Monte, was found.
Pillsbury had a finely tuned antenna for what he believed were originals, and often operating on only bravado and instinct, he made purchases that other institutions were hesitant to make.
He was usually proven correct, although Saint Sebastian Tended by Irene, believed to be by Georges de La Tour, may be a copy. There are 10 copies of this famous cheating scene, and this one is the best in existence, says Claire Berry, the Kimbell's chief conservator. She has found subtle signs that indicate it may very well be the original, but old, poorly performed restorations make it impossible to tell for sure. It won't be hanging in the exhibit. Pillsbury's record may not be perfect, but among museum directors, it is considered one of the very best.
His legacy fills fully half of the upstairs galleries. Along with paintings, there are pre-Columbian, Indian, Roman and Egyptian sculptures and objects from Asia and ancient Greece, so not only are the walls full, the floor space is dotted with vitrines.
Adding more remarkable pieces
Pillsbury's successor, Timothy Potts (director 1998-2007), brought even more sculptures into the permanent collection, including the Kimbell's first by Gian Lorenzo Bernini, the dramatic modello for Fountain of the Moor and a lovely bust attributed to Gian Cristoforo Romano. Potts added Maya vessels and adornments, Chinese sculptures and Japanese scroll paintings that broadened the non-Western areas of the collection.
Lee says, "We've had good fortune in building the collection. When you emphasize quality over quantity, you have to wait till quality comes on the market. When it does, we take advantage of what becomes available. There are fewer and fewer on the market each year."
However, one of the most remarkable pieces to ever become available happened on Lee's second day on the job. In early 2009, he heard that Michelangelo's first painting might be in play.
"It didn't seem real. It couldn't be possible. It was crazy," Lee says.
He checked with Berry, and scholars at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. They concurred that all evidence pointed to a Michelangelo provenance. Lee moved quickly and bought it. It was a risky move, but like Pillsbury, he felt it was right. He brought it to the Kimbell, and the United States now has one of only four freestanding paintings by Michelangelo known to exist.
The Torment of St. Anthony (c. 1487-88) hangs with Lee's three other great scores, Nicolas Poussin's Sacrament of Ordination, Christ and the Woman of Samaria by Guercino and Richard Parkes Bonington's The Grand Canal, Venice, Looking Toward the Rialto.
This small group of most recent purchases illustrates just how far the Kimbell has come in the past 40 years. They are superb examples of the high ideals to which the Kimbell aspires. By holding to its standard of seeking the very best, the Kimbell has amassed a small collection of fewer than 400 works that is valued at more than $1 billion.

If you look at the before pictures, you can see that it was a lavender color, yuck. I've just never been a fan of pastels, not even at Easter. So I decided to go with a neutral color, a cream. As I said earlier, I had the brilliant idea to sand and paint in 100 degree weather. I just think of it as dual-purpose: refinishing a piece of furniture and sweating out all of the toxins in my body.
I didn't do any heavy sanding or use a primer before painting. I just wiped off all the dust, then got to work painting every little nook and cranny. Which, as you can see, there are a lot! That's part of what I loved about this piece: all of the curves and grooves. Avoiding paint drips from all of these curves and grooves, however, was a major pain in my derrière. After two coats, I didn't like the sheen of the paint, too shiny. So I did a third coat with a flat paint in a slightly darker color, the first being brighter than I thought.
You want to sand every edge that would be exposed over time to rubbing. The beauty of it is, it doesn't have to be perfect. You want it to look worn and old. All those imperfections give it character.
I like to use antique teacup saucers as little catch-alls. I also filled the thrift store frames (from my sister's baby shower) with some of my favorite photos. The ribbon holder below was 50% off at Michael's recently, which made me a happy girl. I was finally able to wrangle up all of my ribbon.
Look at all of that storage! The center cabinets have just one shelf inside. Our plan was to knock the shelf out so that I could pull my chair up to it and set my feet in there. The shelf is proving to be harder to get out than we thought.
I got the little tub above for $2.50 at Target. The boxes below were on sale for 1.66 at Michael's.
I love my new craft room! It's so organized, now let's see if I can keep it that way.

I'm sharing this craft storage over at 52 Mantels.

You are not going to want to read this: chocolate cannot be relied upon as a source of antioxidants to boost cardiovascular health. But it gets worse: drinking coffee and red wine in the hope it will prevent heart disease doesn't work either.Why am I not surprised?
- The Age Newspaper.
Have I not said from day one (of this blog) that there are no silver bullets?
Note: I do have to be careful - the reports in the media are exactly what I expected to be the case so the temptation to be uncritical is high.
But really why should anything be a silver bullet? We, as animals, have evolved along with the plants. Some we have leant to eat safely. Some we have learnt will kill us and should be avoided. True, there may be some plants which have beneficial properties but it is pure fluke and certainly there is no reason to think that, if a little is beneficial, a lot will be more so.
Even red wine.

Improve PR with Viral-Icons and Youtube

Below is a matrix of 120 stars, I have already added a link to my blog onto one of the stars, all you need to do is copy and paste the grid into your blog and add your own link to one of the other spare stars, and tell others to do the same!
When I receive a ping back once you have added the Viralink to your site I will add your link to this grid, and each person who copies the grid from here will also link to your site!
No Porn Sites
Only 1 link per person (i.e don't hog the viralink!)
Please don't tamper with other peoples url's
———copy and paste the Viralink and instructions above this line———
———copy and paste the ViralTags and instructions below this line———
1.) Copy and paste the matrix of "ViralTags" below courtesy of Founders Cafe (to support Jimmy's quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a shoestring budget, please consider subscribing to his Full RSS Feed to see his triumphs and struggles in real time).
2.) Substitute the Host Tag and one of the "Viral Tags" in the matrix with your anchor text of choice with your blog's URL. Please keep anchor text to a max of 3 words to keep the matrix size manageable.
3.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your link in one of their "Viral Tags", practice good karma by copying his/her Host Tag's anchor text (automatically the associated link will also be copied) and paste it over one of your "Viral Tags" below.
4.) Encourage and invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as "Host Tag" here, replacing one of the "ViralTags" from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.
———Copy and paste the ViralTags and instructions above this line———
The idea is simple and follows suit with the previous viral schemes but instead it is done with favicons. When an ALT tag is used to describe your image with an alternative text, this can help to improve your page relevance. In other words, if ALT attribute contains keywords that are specific to your page's topic, it will help your keyword density.
Moreover, when optimizing a site/web page for Google, remember that this attribute is taken into great consideration by Googlebot when spidering and indexing your pages. Thus, the ALT tag of an hyperlinked image tag has the same importance of a text link.
———Copy and paste the VIRAL-ICONS and instructions below this line———
Important Update - Please read here!
1.) Copy and paste the matrix of "Viral Icons" below courtesy of Ilker Yoldas from The Thinking Blog. (to support Ilker's quest of launching his own Internet Startup with a student budget, please consider subscribing to the Full RSS Feed and enjoy interesting posts in the meantime. "Knowledge grows when shared!").
2.) Upload your non-animated favicon (GIF image of size 16x16 pixels) to ImageShack, a similar free image hosting server or to your own server provided by your hosting service if you have one.
3.) Substitute the Host Icon and one of the "Viral Icons" in the matrix with your ALT text of choice and your blog's URL. Maximum of 3 specific keywords for the ALT text are best for it to be effective.
Here is an example:
4.) When you get a ping back from someone that has your icon in one of their "Viral Icons", practice good karma by copying his/her Host Icon's code (automatically the associated ALT tag will also be copied) and paste it over one of your "Viral Icons" below.
5.) Invite your readers to do the same and soon this can grow virally.
Rules: No Porn Sites, Only 1 icon per person (i.e. don't hog the ViralIcons!), and please don't tamper with other people's ALT tags, URLs or favicons.
Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your favicon and the associated code you designate as "Host Icon" here, replacing one of the "Viral Icons" from the matrix above. Feel free to drop a comment here with your blog URL, ALT tags and favicon URL (we don't mind if it is the same all over the blogosphere).
Optional: Display the "Viral Icons" badge on your sidebar and promote your blog. As more and more bloggers copy and paste the "Viral Icons" from the matrix above, the more backlinks you will have with your ALT text, and in turn the more promotion your blog with get. The sooner you participate, the more link love you will receive!
———Copy and paste the VIRAL-ICONS and instructions above this line———
Why do bloggers need a favicon? Having a favicon is yet another way to establish your identity and make it easier for people to remember your site among a pile of places. These icons are everywhere (bookmarks, tabs, URL) and are often used on other sites for blogrolls. The favicon is such a simple piece of promotion, you really should have no excuse for not implementing it straight away. Think about all the extra exposure you can get.
You can see examples of my work in this post about favicons, or the ones I made for free as part of my review contest (more favicons on the previous winners in round 2, round 3, and round 4).
Finally, I would like to share the following video of how to get top Google ranking through uploading videos to Youtube:

Riding back-to-back wins, the Revs aim to make it three in a row to end the season on Thursday night at Red Bull Arena. LIVE NOW on ESPN2 | GameDay >>
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution has known for weeks that the 2010 season would ultimately end in disappointment with a postseason berth not in the cards for the first time in nine years.
That fact hasn't prevented the Revs (9-15-5, 32 pts.) from battling through the remainder of their schedule, however, as they've strung together a series of impressive performances against some of the league's top teams. They were finally rewarded for their efforts with victories in their last two games against the Houston Dynamo and Kansas City Wizards.
Now the Revolution looks to make it three wins in a row for the first – and only – time this season as the club closes out the 2010 schedule against the rival New York Red Bulls (14-9-6, 48 pts.) on Thursday night at Red Bull Arena.
"It'd be huge (to finish) with three straight wins," said defender Darrius Barnes. "You always want to build off your last game. They say you're only as good as your last game, so if we can have that mindset going in and try to get a 'W' in New York, it would be huge for this team.
"We feel like we've played our best ball here down the stretch," he continued. "So if we just think about that performance-wise, and the product we've been able to put on the field these past few games – if we can keep that up in New York, I think we'll do well."
While the Revs have only pride to play for this weekend as they conclude the 2010 season, the Red Bulls have much more on the line. Currently one point ahead of the second-place Columbus Crew in the Eastern Conference standings, New York needs a victory on Thursday night to clinch the top seed in the East and guarantee home-field advantage en route to MLS Cup. Anything less would leave the door open for the Crew to leap into the top spot with a result against the Philadelphia Union on Sunday.
The Revs are no stranger to playing the role of spoilers, as they did so last weekend when they ended the Wizards' playoff hopes with a 1-0 win in the home finale at Gillette Stadium.
"We played spoiler [last] weekend against Kansas City and to kind of spoil New York and make them have a little bit of a tougher road going to win MLS Cup would be big-time for us," said Barnes. "Anything we can do to kind of throw a little pebble or rock in the road for them, we're going to try to do."
Central midfielder Pat Phelan agreed his side would have extra motivation because of New York's current position in the standings, but also noted the Revs are primarily driven by their own desire to perform.
"It's not necessarily about sticking it to another team," said Phelan. "Obviously, we'd like to be in their position. It's more about us playing well and having something to play for … This season's been a disappointment and to go out with a loss would just kind of cap that off the wrong way. So I think we're going to go down there and give it our all."
Phelan is one of two players – along with defender Cory Gibbs – who will return for the Revs on Thursday night after serving a one-game suspension for caution accumulation in last weekend's win over the Wizards. Both players are likely to slot back into the starting lineup, and their return could allow the Revolution to fill out a full game-day roster of 18 players for just the 15th time this season.
Regardless of how many players dress for the Revs, history will undoubtedly be on their side. The Revolution is an unbeaten 8-0-6 in the last 14 regular-season meetings with New York dating all the way back to the end of the 2005 season, and included in that record is a 2-0-5 mark in the last seven road games.
But the 2010 edition of the New York Red Bulls is far from the team which finished with a league-worst five wins and 21 points last season. With a state-of-the-art new stadium and a pair of high-profile signings in Thierry Henry and Rafael Marquez, the Red Bulls have reshaped their image.
"It's going to be tough," said Barnes. "We're going to have to be smart with the way we pressure them because we don't want to get played through or played over the top. So we just have to be smart and make sure we're keeping a good line and getting everybody behind the ball to make things tough for them.
"Also, we have to be able to play and get the ball moving side to side when [we're in possession], because when you have a team like that which keeps the ball well, you don't want to be defending the entire game," he continued. "If we can be smart with the ball, I think we'll do well."
Should the Revs succeed in extending their unbeaten run against the Red Bulls to 15 league games, it will undoubtedly provide a bit of hope at the end of a trying season. But head coach Steve Nicol was quick to caution against letting the final month of the campaign erase the memory of what went before.
"We have a bunch of guys who, all season, have given their all, from the first game to the last," he said. "But we've made mistakes. We can't hide behind that because we won a couple of games at the end of the season. We've made mistakes at the wrong times and at crucial moments that have put us where we are.
"But as I said, everybody from the first game to the last has given their all and everything they've been asked," Nicol continued. "At the very least, that's all we can ask for."
