Union Square Ventures Rides Twitter and Tumblr Exits on Fundraising Trail
The venture capital firm that placed early bets on social-media powerhouses Twitter Inc. and Tumblr Inc. is leaning on its success to raise a pair of new funds totaling $300 million.
New York-based Union Square Ventures aims to raise $150 million apiece for USV 2014 LP, the firm's fourth early-stage fund, and USV Opportunity 2014 LP, its second late-stage pool, by mid-December, according to investment documents viewed by Dow Jones. Following the close, Union Square will put that capital to work in the first quarter of next year.
Union Square doesn't plan to veer from its strategy of investing in mostly U.S.-based Internet and mobile companies considered to be "disruptive," the documents said.
The funds are both smaller than the predecessor vehicles. Union Square previously raised $200 million for its third early-stage fund, USV 2012 LP, and $165 million for the first late-stage pool. Union Square is seeking smaller sums because early- and late-stage deals require smaller investments, the documents said. Early-stage fund investments out of Fund III averaged $4 million each, while the opportunities vehicle was $11 million apiece.
Union Square didn't immediately return phone calls seeking comment. The firm's managing partners are Fred Wilson and Brad Burnham. Albert Wenger, John Buttrick and Andy Weissman are partners.
Founded in 2003, Union Square is raising its fund at a time when the venture industry overall struggles to collect dollars. However, successful outliers like Union Square buck the trend thanks to piling substantial sums of capital in a number of businesses that had big exits.
Union Square saw a valuation of 27 times invested cost on Tumblr after the blogging platform was sold to Yahoo Inc . for $1.1 billion earlier this year, the documents said. Meanwhile, its investment in online gaming company Zynga Inc. netted a valuation of 65 times invested cost at the time of the company's IPO in late 2011, according to the documents.
Most recently, Twitter's float on the New York Stock Exchange this month allowed Union Square to see a payoff on its early 2007 investment. At the time of the IPO, the venture firm's stake was valued at $723.8 million thanks to shares pricing at $26 each. Union Square's stake has since ballooned to $1.14 billion as of 4 p.m. trading Wednesday.
Investors have seen the payoffs. Union Square's third early-stage fund has a net internal rate of return of 31.4% as of Sept. 30, the documents said. The first opportunities vehicle has a net IRR of 70.3% for the same time period, according to the documents. Both funds are performing above upper-quartile peers of similar vintages, according to benchmarks provided by Cambridge Associates.
Union Square has kept a robust investment pace, with 10 investments so far this year, including taking the lead on a $5 million investment in Coinbase, an online platform that allows users to buy Bitcoin, a increasingly popular virtual currency.

Harlem is a neighborhood in the New York City borough of Manhattan, which since the 1920s has been a major African-American residential, cultural and business center. Originally a Dutch village, formally organized in 1658, it is named after the city of Haarlem in the Netherlands. Harlem was annexed to New York City in 1873.
Harlem has been defined by a series of boom-and-bust
cycles, with significant ethnic shifts accompanying each cycle. Black
residents began to arrive en masse in 1904, with numbers fed by the Great Migration. In the 1920s and 1930s, the neighborhood was the focus of the "Harlem Renaissance",
an outpouring of artistic and professional works without precedent in
the American black community. However, with job losses in the time of
the Great Depression and the deindustrialization of New York City after World War II, rates of crime and poverty increased significantly.
New York's revival in the late 20th century has led to renewal in
Harlem as well. By 1995, Harlem was experiencing social and economic gentrification. Though the percentage of residents who are black peaked in 1950, the area remains predominantly black.
Harlem stretches from the East River west to
the Hudson River between 155th Street; where it meets Washington
Heights—to a ragged border along the south. Central Harlem begins at
110th Street, at the northern boundary of Central Park; Spanish Harlem is in Eastern Harlem and extends south to 96th Street, while in the west the neighborhood begins north of Upper West Side, which gives an irregular border west of Morningside Avenue. Harlem's boundaries have changed over the years; as Ralph Ellison said, "Wherever Negroes live uptown is considered Harlem."
The neighborhood contains a number of smaller, cohesive districts. The following are some examples:
The New York City Police Department patrols five precincts located within Harlem. The areas of West Harlem are served by the 30th Precinct, the areas of Central Harlem are served by the 28th and 32nd Precincts, and the areas of East Harlem are served by the 23rd and 25th Precincts.
Harlem is represented by New York's 15th congressional district, the New York State Senate's 30th district, the New York State Assembly's 68th and 70th districts, and the New York City Council's 7th, 8th, and 9th districts.
Soon after blacks began to move into Harlem, the community became known as "the spiritual home of the Negro protest movement." The NAACP became active in Harlem in 1910 and Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association in 1916. The NAACP chapter there soon grew to be the largest in the country. Activist A. Philip Randolph lived in Harlem and published the radical magazine The Messenger starting in 1917. It was from Harlem that he organized the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. W. E. B. Du Bois lived and published in Harlem in the 1920s, as did James Weldon Johnson and Marcus Garvey.
The earliest activism by blacks to change the situation in Harlem itself grew out of the Great Depression, with the "Don't Buy Where You Can't Work" movement. This was the ultimately successful campaign to force retail shops on 125th Street to hire black employees. Boycotts
were originally organized by the Citizens' League for Fair Play in June
1934 against Blumstein's Department Store on 125th Street. The store
soon agreed to more fully integrate its staff. This success emboldened
Harlem residents, and protests continued under other leadership,
including that of preacher and later congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.,
seeking to change hiring practices at other stores, to effect the
hiring of more black workers, or the hiring of members of particular
protesting groups.
Communism gained a following in Harlem in the 1930s, and continued to play a role through the 1940s. 1935 saw the first of Harlem's five riots.
The incident started with a (false) rumor that a boy caught stealing
from a store on 125th Street had been killed by the police. By the time
it was over, 600 stores had been looted and three men were dead. The
same year saw internationalism in Harlem politics, as Harlemites
responded to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia by holding giant rallies, signing petitions and sending an appeal to the League of Nations. Such internationalism continued intermittently, including broad demonstrations in favor of Egyptian president Nasser after the Suez invasion of 1956.
Black Harlemites took positions in the elected political infrastructure of New York starting in 1941 with the election of Adam Clayton Powell Jr.
to the City Council. He was easily elected to Congress when a
congressional district was placed in Harlem in 1944, leaving his City
Council seat to be won by another black Harlemite, Benjamin J. Davis.
Ironically, Harlem's political strength soon deteriorated, as Clayton
Powell, Jr. spent his time in Washington or his vacation home in Puerto Rico, and Davis was jailed in 1951 for violations of the Smith Act.
The year 1943 saw the second Harlem riot. A black soldier knocked
down a policeman who then shot him. An onlooker shouted that the soldier
had been killed, and this news spread throughout the black community
and provoked rioting. A force of 6,600, made up of city police, military
police and civil patrolmen, in addition to 8,000 State Guardsmen and
1,500 civilian volunteers was required to end the violence. Hundreds of
businesses were destroyed and looted, the property damage approaching
$225,000. Overall, six people died and 185 were injured. Five hundred
people were arrested in connection with the riot.
regulations. According to the Metropolitan Council on Housing, in the mid-1960s, about 25% of the city's landlords charged more for rent than allowed by law.
Many groups mobilized in Harlem in the 1960s, fighting for better
schools, jobs, and housing. Some were peaceful and others advocated
violence. By the early 1960s, the Congress of Racial Equality
(CORE) had offices on 125th street, and acted as negotiator for the
community with the city, especially in times of racial unrest. They
pressed for civilian review boards to hear complaints of police abuse,
a demand that was ultimately met. As chairman of the House Committee of
Education and Labor at the start of the 1960s, Adam Clayton Powell Jr.
used this position to direct federal funds to various development
projects in Harlem.
The influence of the southern nonviolent protest movement was muted in Harlem. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was the black leader most respected in Harlem, but at least two dozen groups of black nationalists also operated in New York. The most important of these was the Nation of Islam, whose Temple Number Seven was run by Malcolm X from 1952–1963. Malcolm X was assassinated in the Audubon Ballroom in Washington Heights in 1965. The neighborhood remains an important center for the Nation of Islam.
The largest public works projects in Harlem in these years were
public housing, with the largest concentration built in East Harlem.
Typically, existing structures were torn down and replaced with
city-designed and managed properties that would, in theory, present a
safer and more pleasant environment than those available from private
landlords. Ultimately, community objections halted the construction of
new projects.
From the mid-20th century, the terrible quality of local schools has
been a source of distress. In the 1960s, about 75% of Harlem students
tested under grade levels in reading skills, and 80% tested under grade
level in math.
In 1964, residents of Harlem staged two school boycotts to call
attention to the problem. In central Harlem, 92% of students stayed
In 1963, Inspector Lloyd Sealy became the first African-American officer of the NYPD to command a police station, the 28th precinct in Harlem.
Community relations between Harlem residents and the NYPD were strained
as civil rights activists requested that the NYPD hire more black
police officers, specifically in Harlem. In 1964, across Harlem's three
precincts, the ratio was one black police officer for every six white
officers. A riot
broke in the summer of 1964 following the fatal shooting of an unarmed
15-year-old black teenager by an off-duty white police lieutenant. One
person was killed, more than 100 were injured, and hundreds more were
arrested. Property damage and looting were extensive. The riot would
later spread out of Manhattan and into the borough of Brooklyn and
neighborhood of Bedford-Stuyvesant, the heart of Brooklyn's African-American community. In the aftermath of the riots, the federal government funded a pilot program called Project Uplift,
in which thousands of young people in Harlem were given jobs during the
summer of 1965. The project was inspired by a report generated by HARYOU called Youth in the Ghetto. HARYOU was given a major role in organizing the project, along with the National Urban League and nearly 100 smaller community organizations.
In 1966, the Black Panthers organized a group in Harlem, agitating for violence in pursuit of change. Speaking at a rally of the Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC), Max Stanford, a Black Panther, declared that the United States "could be brought down to its knees with a rag and some gasoline and a bottle."[
In 1968, Harlemites rioted after the assassination of Martin Luther
King, Jr., as did black residents in other U.S. cities. Two people
died—one stabbed to death in a crowd and another trapped in a burning
building. Mayor John Lindsay helped to quell the rioting by marching up Lenox Avenue in a "hail of bricks" to confront the angry crowds.
reached its lowest in this period. Plans for rectifying the situation
often started with the restoration of 125th Street, long the economic
heart of black Harlem. By the late 1970s, only marginalized and poor retail remained.
Plans were drafted for a "Harlem International Trade Center," which
would have filled the entire block between 125th Street and 126th, from
Lenox to Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Boulevard, with a center for trade with
the third world.
A related retail complex was planned to the west, between Frederick
Douglass Boulevard and St. Nicholas. However, this plan depended on $30
million in financing from the federal government, and with the election of Ronald Reagan to the presidency of the United States, it had no hope of being completed.
The city did provide one large construction project, though not so
favored by residents. Starting in the 1960s and continuing through the
1970s, Harlemites fought the introduction of an immense sewage treatment
plant, the North River Water Pollution Control Plant, on the Hudson River in West Harlem.
A compromise was ultimately reached in which the plant was built with a
state park, including extensive recreational facilities, on top. The
park, called Riverbank State Park, was opened in 1993 (the sewage plant having been completed some years earlier).
of Harlem restarted around 1990, thanks in part to the institution of
the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone. Plans were laid for shopping
malls, movie theaters, and museums. However, these plans were nearly
derailed in 1995 by the "Freddy's Fashion Mart" riot, which culminated
in political arson and eight deaths. These riots did not resemble their
predecessors, and were organized by black activists against Jewish shop
owners on 125th street.
Five years later, the revitalization of 125th Street resumed, with the construction of a Starbucks outlet backed in part by Magic Johnson (1999), the first supermarket in Harlem in 30 years, the Harlem USA retail complex, which included the first first-run movie theater in many years (2000), and a new home for the Studio Museum in Harlem (2001). In the same year, former president Bill Clinton
took office space in Harlem. In 2002, a large retail and office complex
called Harlem Center was completed at the corner of Lenox and 125th. There has been extensive new construction and rehabilitation of older buildings in the years since.
The neighborhood's changes have provoked some discontent. James David Manning,
pastor of the ATLAH World Missionary church on Lenox Avenue, has
received press for declaring a boycott on all Harlem shops, restaurants,
other businesses, and churches other than his own. He believes that
this will cause an economic crash that will drive out white residents
and drop property values to a level his supporters can afford. There have been rallies against gentrification.

Stop? It was an OVA released 2 episodes at a time. That means they choose it to have this many episodes.
Btw It's 8 episodes, 4 release dates.
If you like that, go watch Dai Mahou Touge , it's on the same release schedule and so far we only have 1-2 subbed and 3-4 released.

I imagine they may rephrase some of the slang, at least in the dub (subtitles might be translated more literally). I imagine "lolita complex" would be used.
Anyway I heard this is pretty good, so I guess it is worth trying to locate to purchase? Whatever groups did end up subbing this prior to license, it is awesome people got to enjoy it and hopefully that helped move it's popularity along!

Sony adds HDMI 1.3 port to 20GB PS3
Out to counter MS' 1080p Xbox 360 update?
Sony has decided to equip the 20GB PlayStation 3 with an HDMI connector, possibly in response to Microsoft's move to bring the 1080p HD resolution to the Xbox 360. The company also cut the machine's Japanese retail price.
When Sony launched the PS3 in May this year, it said only the 60GB model would ship with an HDMI 1.3 port to allow it to be connected to an HD TV and play back protected content off Blu-ray Discs without a reduced resolution. Sony has always said the PS3 will support 1080p playback.
Since the 20GB PS3 also contains a BD drive, Sony's decision to ship the console without an HDMI port was seen as a cost-reducing move too far. Well, now it's relented and the 20GB model will contain an HDMI port.
Given the company has had to delay the European roll out to March 2007 in order to ensure sufficient machines ship into the US and Japan this coming November, it probably feels it can't risk alienate HD TV-owning buyers by omitting this almost essential connector from the less expensive PS3.
And now it'll be even cheaper: ¥49,980 ($428/£226/€336) including tax. ®

When choosing your bag, consider how you will use it most. Whereas business travelers might need a rolling case that doubles as an overnight bag, with exterior pockets for easy access to pieces of identification, personal items, tickets and other travel essentials, office workers who simply need a place to securely store a laptop might need only a lightweight laptop bag with a handle. In any case, it's easy to find a briefcase that matches your individual sense of style at GotBags.com.

SURF'S UP in San Diego
by Patience Sibeal Wieland
Every morning before sunrise, dedicated surfers head for the beach. Since the 1920s, San Diego surfers have enjoyed "catching a wave" whatever the weather.
In 1911, a Hawaiian named Duke Kahanamoku introduced wave riding to Californians. Today "The Duke" is considered the founder of modern surfing. Inspired San Diegans began surf clubs at Pacific and Mission Beaches, near Mission Bay.
San Diego's earliest surf star was the daredevil Faye Fraser. She wowed Pacific Beach onlookers in 1925 by dangerously surfing around the pilings that held Crystal Pier above water. No one in town had "shot the pier" before, and few have since!
In 1941, World War II began. Many local surfers joined the Navy. Fortunately, one wave rider, Bob Simmons, worked on the home front. He surfed powerful Windansea Beach in La Jolla, a northern neighborhood. Simmons tinkered with surfboards, adding a skeg (a small tail fin) on the bottom that helps riders make easier turns. He also began making surfboards out of balsa covered with fiberglass (a material created during the war). Boards became lighter and faster.
In the 1960s, movies and "surfer rock" bands such as the Beach Boys popularized the sport. Many surfers bought woodies (wood-paneled, antique station wagons) and drove to beaches like Windansea, Pacific, and San Onofre. San Diego's beaches became famous "surfin' surfari" stops. They still attract thousands of surfers each year.
- balsa:
- A tropical American tree with soft, very light wood that is used to make rafts and model airplanes.
- What kind of energy do ocean waves carry?
- Do you think a surfer would prefer higher or lower frequency waves? Why?
- What do you think happens to the energy in a wave when the wave crashes on the shore?
- Some scientists are inventing devices that capture the energy of ocean waves. Why might ocean waves be a good source of energy?

Through its field force, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) provides agricultural producers with a broad range of cooperative programs for protecting the health of animals and plants. Aquaculture, the managed production of aquatic plants and animals, continues to grow as a major agribusiness enterprise.
APHIS programs currently serve important aspects of both plant and animal aquaculture, especially involving disease, pest prevention, and wildlife damage management. APHIS also has become involved in facilitating importation and exportation in aquacultural products because of increased global trade.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), Veterinary Services (VS), in collaboration with the National Aquaculture Association (NAA), is rolling out its joint concept for commercial aquaculture health program standards (CAHPS).
Representatives from the NAA and the VS Aquaculture Program Team have been developing draft program standards to establish a voluntary, nonregulatory framework for the improvement and verification of the health of farmed aquatic animals produced in U.S. commercial aquaculture industry sectors. The goal of CAHPS is to support various business objectives, including improved health management, protection and expansion of aquaculture business opportunities, and promotion and facilitation of trade, as well as improved resource protection and environmental sustainability.

Very pitiable condition of our Indian Culture. People run for sheila ki jawani and halkat jawaani and that time do not think about ghar ki betiyan. They should at least have a little bit of feeling for them before thinking about such things. Excess of anything is not good. Everything should be in your control and there should be some discipline and moral responsibility.

I agree with you Shobha. But also showing a girl with smoking is not modern sign. There could have been different ways to show the fact the director would like to convey. The subject is perfect but the execution is bad.
You seriously tell me - other than metros where do you find live-in relationships? At the same time the girl from village might not be virgin. When we all start thinking on he terms which Indian culture offers and accept whatever we like and don't bother about society things might work

Ah! A very rathee strong point.. And I think in the same line... If a man can drink... and sleep with women his heart (and all that whatevers) call for... why cant a woman...
A man doesnt mind to have multiple girl friends and have pre-marital affairs... But his wife should be shuddh and desi...
I wonder when these scenes gonna change... And I dunno till how long the rebels have to endure the cheap suspicious looks...

to combine the evenly-dispersed sonic detail of planar magnetic drivers
with the tonal heft of more traditional, moving-coil diaphragms, the Ella from Blue
comprise a pair of sealed, over-ear headphones. They sport 50 x 50mm
planar magnetic drivers to deliver a transparent, detailed sound which,
unlike dynamic-driver headphones, will not distort in certain frequency
ranges as you crank the volume. Moreover, with an on-board 250mW
amplifier, you will be able to achieve the level you'd expect out of
your headphones in a manner that preserves tonal integrity; this is
especially useful when pairing these headphones with MP3 players,
smartphones, and iOS devices.
These headphones come with two detachable cables, one with iOS controls
and a microphone for smartphone communication and Siri control, the
other providing an audio connection to any device without the bells and
whistles of mobile communication. Also included are a soft case and a
3.5mm to 1/4" adapter.

How To: Voluminous, Bouncy Hair with Brazilian Blowout
Taking hair from frizz to fab, Brazilian Blowout products smooth without deflating volume. This Brazilian Blowout styling technique requires just two products and a few simple steps to achieve bouncy, flowing waves and a shining finish.
PRODUCTS: Brazilian Blowout Volume Thermal Root Lift, Brazilian Blowout Volume Body Boost Powder
TOOLS: Blow Dryer, Round Boar-Bristle Brush
Step 1: To ensure long lasting volume and body, wash hair with the Brazilian Blowout Volume Shampoo followed by the Volume Conditioner.
Step 2: Thoroughly towel dry hair, then section and lightly apply Brazilian Blowout Instant Volume Root Lift directly to the roots. Next, blow dry the roots of the hair. For optimum volume, lift sections and direct nozzle at the roots.
Step 3: Rough dry the roots, and begin the blow dry. Use a large round boar bristle brush and medium to high tension. Starting at the crown, take a medium-sized section and wrap hair over the brush. Lift the brush up and away from the head and direct the blow-dryer nozzle at the root to create lift. Continue to dry the rest of the section, pull the brush down through the hair to create volume and add bounce.
Step 4: Repeat this technique throughout the rest of the hair.
Step 5: Next, shake a small amount of Instant Volume Body Boost Powder onto the fingertips and rub together. Starting at the roots, lightly rub fingertips and pull up and through the hair. This last step will lock in lift at the roots, while adding a bit of sexy texture.

- United States Grand Prix
Who said what after the United States Grand Prix
Read what the teams and drivers had to say after the United States Grand Prix
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
Heikki Kovalainen - 18th
"That was one of those races where we probably couldn't have got much more out of the car. I've had issues all weekend with getting heat into the front tyres and it was the same again today for the first few laps. At the start I made up one place and then passed Glock pretty quickly and from there it was relatively easy to control my pace for the rest of the race. The stop went fine, the pitcrew did a very good job today, and apart from the tyre issue, it was about as much as we could have hoped for."
Vitaly Petrov - 17th
"For me that was just about as much as I could get out of the car today so I'm pleased with how it went. The start was pretty crazy, everyone on cold tyres going into turn one with a load of cars going off track, but I got through cleanly and as soon as my tyres came up to temperature I pulled away from the cars behind pretty comfortably. We'd planned to do just one stop and it was timed perfect, the boys got me out quickly when we switched to the hard compound so it all went as we wanted. The tyre degradation was also pretty low - we'd seen from the long runs on Friday that it wouldn't really be a problem, but apart from a small vibration I had from the brakes for the last third of the race, it was a good afternoon without any issues."
Fernando Alonso - 3rd
"It was an unexpected podium which came at the end of a particularly difficult weekend. We did not have the pace to match Red Bull and McLaren, so to only lose three points to Vettel is in fact a nice present. It could have been much worse, but now we will arrive in Sao Paolo in Brazil in with a chance right to the last. Maybe on paper that chance is not so big, maybe 25%, but deep down, I feel it's much more than that. Anything can happen at Interlagos and we saw again how important reliability can be, didn't we? Then, there's the chance of rain and a race in the wet can be very risky and we definitely have nothing to lose. Clearly, if it's dry and we have a normal race, one can expect Red Bull to be in front of everyone and us on the third or fourth row, so the more unknown factors there are, the better it is for us. The decision regarding Felipe's gearbox? It was a team decision of which I am proud, especially as it proved to be the right one: I don't think everyone in this environment can say the same thing… The start was very good as was the first corner: in this second part of the season, we have made up a lot of places actually in the first few hundred metres. Then I had a good enough pace to get on the podium but not to fight with the two in front. The pit stop wasn't perfect, maybe for the first time this season: which means we'll be looking for perfection in the pit stops next Sunday, and in fact for the whole race! Felipe was fantastic all weekend, quicker than me in all three qualifying sessions: we need him to be on this good form in Interlagos too, because we will be up against very strong opposition. We need to be a united team if we want to win!"
Felipe Massa - 4th
"For me, this result is a bit like a win, definitely the best race of my season: now I can say I'm happy to have started eleventh! This morning, when I was told I was dropping five places, I can't say I was jumping for joy, but I accepted it to help the team and my team-mate: I don't think many drivers would have done the same, but I am an honest person and will always do my utmost for my team. At the start, I made up three places, but then I ran wide and lost a few. After that, I had a strong pace and also pulled off some passing moves at various points on the track: once I even got two cars at the same time. We did the best we could have done today: I don't think I could have fought Vettel or Hamilton. I really enjoyed driving on this track: it is great fun and the atmosphere is very nice. It's probably not going to be my favourite circuit of all, but it is one of the ones I like. Now we go to Interlagos, my home race. It would be nice to end the season on the podium, or even with a win. What's certain is that I will do everything I can to help the team reach its targets: today, maybe I could have finished ahead of Fernando, but I'm well aware of the championship situation and I do what is right for Ferrari, as I've done throughout my career."
Stefano Domenicali, team principal
"Given how things looked yesterday afternoon after qualifying, this result can be seen as positive. Sure, Fernando has lost a few points to the championship leader, but the important thing was to limit the damage so as to arrive at the last race with everything to play for and that is now the case. First and foremost, I want to congratulate Felipe, not just for his great drive in the race, but above for all for the way he went along with our decision to knowingly take a penalty so as to maximize our potential at the start, especially for his team-mate. It was definitely a tough decision, but he took it with the same spirit he has always demonstrated, in that the interests of the team come before those of the individual. Not only did events show it was the right decision, but furthermore we had further confirmation, if it was ever needed, that Felipe is a team player, sincere and honest, who fully shares our values and for that, I want to thank him publicly. Fernando did the most with what he had today, in other words a car that was not capable of fighting for the win. Once again, he produced a stunning opening lap which lined him up for a podium finish. Now we go to Brazil, knowing that everything is still possible. We get there in a completely opposite situation to the one we were in on arrival in Abu Dhabi two years ago…! When you end up fighting for the title at the last race, you have already achieved something important: it has happened to Ferrari many times before - with only three exceptions - since 1997 and no other team can boast of a similar regularity at the top of Formula 1. Today, we congratulate Red Bull on winning the Constructors' title. Now we will try and stop them doing the double in a week's time in Interlagos!"
Pat Fry, technical director
"We achieved our objective, which means keeping the Drivers' championship alive to the end. This morning we decided to take a penalty that goes with changing a gearbox, which resulted in Felipe dropping five places on the grid, but meant both drivers started from the clean side of the track, an important factor, given Fernando is fighting for the Drivers' title. We expected this to produce an advantage for the Spaniard and a more or less similar outcome for the Brazilian and as things turned out, if you look at the order after the first corner, we were right. Once again, Fernando covered the first few hundred metres of the race in extraordinary fashion and from then on, he produced a great performance, profiting from Webber's retirement to make it to the podium for the umpteenth time in this amazing season. He did not have a car capable of fighting for the win, so to be third is the most we could aspire to in these conditions. Once again, Felipe showed great team spirit when it came to the decision that penalised him. He then drove a great race, climbing up from eleventh to fourth, pulling off some nice passing moves on the way. The main problem this weekend was definitely managing the tyre temperatures: once again today we suffered in the early laps after the pit stop much more than our competitors. We must study the data carefully to understand exactly what are the reasons for this, also because in Brazil, in less than a week, we will once again be running these compounds. It's true the Interlagos circuit is very different and that so too will be the ambient temperatures, but we must arrive in Sao Paolo as well prepared as possible. The Drivers' title and second place in the Constructors' classification will be fought out to the very last corner that's for sure."
Force IndiaPaul di Resta - 15th
"I made a good start and for the first few laps we were in quite a strong position and moving forward with good lap times. Maybe we waited too long before pitting because I became vulnerable to Senna after my stop and was struggling on cold tyres with tyre warm-up. I couldn't keep Senna behind me and then I had the same situation with Maldonado. I was fighting a lot of oversteer in the car and made an error in turn 19, lost the rear, and spun. I was just trying a bit too hard to keep the cars behind me. That gave me some flat spots on my tyres so I had to pit for a second time. From there it was difficult to fight back because it was a clear one-stop race."
Nico Hulkenberg - 8th
"Another tough race but very satisfying to have so many good battles and score another four points. I think we squeezed the maximum from the car and should be pleased with what we achieved. For the first few laps we looked very strong, but after lap ten the tyres started to fade away. When we switched to the hard tyres we were not so competitive so it was just a case of pushing hard to stay in the points. The last few laps were not easy because I was getting massive pressure from the Williams pair, who were very quick through sector one. They had the advantage of DRS and it was not easy to keep them behind me. There was quite a bit of fighting but I managed to stay ahead."
Vijay Mallya, team principal
"Today's race was a brilliant showcase for Formula One and the perfect way to kick off the sport's return to America. We saw some great racing and the track looked spectacular. Nico was back in the points again and drove very well to finish eighth. For the final part of the race he came under heavy pressure from Senna and Maldonado, but he didn't make any mistakes and kept them at bay. Williams are close competitors in the championship so it was important to outscore them here. Paul's race looked promising in the early stages, but tyre issues and a spin cost him dearly and ruled out any chance of points. With the season coming to a close we will look to continue our run of points-scoring finishes in Sao Paulo and hopefully end the season on a high note next weekend."
HRTPedro de la Rosa - 21st
"It has been a positive race overall. The car has performed well and the tyres worked better than we expected after the first day of testing. The start was good and I managed to push with the first set of tyres but I may have gone a bit too far and half way through the race I had front graining. But we changed to the hard compound half way through the race and everything worked well again. Five laps to the end, part of the carbon seat broke and I was afraid that I might have to retire but I managed to adapt to the new driving position and we were able to get to the chequered flag, which was not only important for me but for the whole team. Now it is time to look ahead and get ready for Brazil".
Narain Karthikeyan - 22nd
"The atmosphere here was amazing and it has been a good race after all. Temperatures were our weak point on the first day but yesterday already improved and today we didn't have any problems during the race. The start was clean and our main target was to finish the race. And we have done it without any problems and keeping a good pace on both sets of tyres. We are now looking forward to the race in Brazil where we hope to do a good job and finish the season on a good note".
Luis Pérez-Sala, team principal
"First of all I want to thank every single team member for their outstanding professionalism and attitude during this Grand Prix. It hasn't been easy but everyone has done a fantastic job and I am very proud of this team and its members. After a few races with one or the other car not being able to finish, it has been really good to see both Pedro and Narain getting to the end. Moreover, this two-car finish result has been particularly important for everyone's morale and to face the last race of the season with confidence and high spirits".
LotusKimi Raikkonen - 6th
"It was an okay day, but not a very easy one for us. I got a bad start and then I touched with a Force India at the second corner so I lost a few more places. After that the car was okay and I could get past some of the others. Unfortunately, when it got cloudy it got too cold so the tyres stopped working and that's where we saw Jenson [Button] get past. Basically, it was a race where we were just depending on the tyres to be in their window. I'm still 3rd in the championship and we'll do everything we can to maintain this position until the end."
Romain Grosjean - 7th
"Not a bad race but the spin on lap seven was frustrating. The start was good, the first lap was good and the pace was definitely there. I recovered pretty well from where I was to finish P7 and was fighting Kimi at the end which is a positive sign. I pushed as hard as I could, so I was happy to bring home some more points for the team."
Eric Boullier, team principal
"Today wasn't as good as Abu Dhabi obviously, but with both cars in the points we're quite satisfied. The first part of the race created some expectations that we could have been in a position to fight for a better result, however the race didn't play out that way. We had a small problem in Kimi's pit stop and lost time there. Romain made a mistake behind Nico Hulkenberg and lost the opportunity to do a better job, but he had a very strong race from there and came back well. In the end, Red Bull, McLaren and Ferrari were faster and there wasn't anything we could do. It's good to gain some points, plus we know we have better performance still to come from the car and the ability to achieve better results, so we're looking forward to Brazil."
James Allison, technical director
"Although there were elements of today's race that were quite positive, overall I have to admit it was a pretty joyless experience. Romain's off-track excursion during the early stages put a sizeable flat spot on his tyres which proved to be too much to live with past a few extra laps. This was a real shame as he clearly had good pace and put in a very spirited drive to recover from there. After a tricky start from the dirty side of the track, Kimi did a good job of clawing his way forwards and was on course to jump Fernando [Alonso] in the pit stop battle, but unfortunately we had a bit of a drama with our tyre change which put paid to that. On a more positive note, our qualifying pace has certainly improved so with a trouble free race in Brazil we can hopefully wrap up the season with another podium."
MarussiaTimo Glock - 19th
"Overall it was a strong race for us, even though we had been hoping for something more. The first lap was a bit all over the place; I lost the car twice. Vitaly was able to overtake me because of that and at first it was a struggle to stay with him because of the KERS advantage. Then Heikki got past and it was the same story; struggling at first, but then closing back up to him. I stayed with him from there and we decided to pit a little early to see if we could find a way past, but they pitted at the same time unfortunately. Late in the race I was able to get past Heikki in Turn 12 but in Turn 15 he dived in again and retook position, pushing me off the track a bit. Our race pace was very strong and this is just one of a few positives we take away from here, where we have made big steps again and of course we leave holding onto 10th place in the Constructors' Championship. Our big picture remains very positive for us and we look forward to continuing to push hard in Brazil next weekend. Finally I have to say we have had a great week here in Austin and the race team's efforts have matched those back at the factory in enabling us to keep improving at this late stage of the season."
Charles Pic - 20th
"It was a tough race today, I have to say. I had some contact into Turn 1 and after that I suffered with understeer throughout the whole race. We know now that the front wing was damaged. It was very difficult to keep the temperature in the tyre in the second stint, with all the blue flags, and we lost some time because of that. It is a little disappointing after the progress we have made here; after yesterday's qualifying performance we were looking good for a strong race. However, towards the end at least, I was able to recover a little bit and found enough pace for our fastest lap time, so this was a positive way to bring the race to a conclusion. We will focus on the final Grand Prix of the season in Brazil now, but we have enjoyed the United States Grand Prix experience and the positive steps we have taken here. Well done to the team."
John Booth, team principal
"Although this was not necessarily the result we had hoped for today, ultimately we do have to be realistic in that, although our pace particularly towards the end of the race was good, the disadvantage that the lack of KERS brings meant that we were not in a position to make the most of our overtaking opportunities. Timo drove a race worthy of his experience; he really piled the pressure on Kovalainan particularly during the last third of the race, overtaking him at one point in a good move in Turn 12, only to be pushed wide when Heikki tried to claim the position back in Turn 15. Charles struggled a little on the Hard tyre, mainly because of the unfortunate position he was in with blue flags in his second stint. However, once free at the end, he was able to demonstrate good pace. Onto Brazil now, where we will aim to maintain the momentum with our qualifying pace. Hopefully with a little more race pace we can keep ourselves ahead of the competition next time. On behalf of the whole team, our congratulations to everyone who played a part in producing such a superb event here this weekend. We have received an exceptionally warm welcome from the Texans, the track has produced some fascinating racing and the on- and off-track organisation has been second to none. We are already looking forward to returning next season."
McLarenLewis Hamilton - 1st
"I'm massively proud and extremely happy. I nearly lost my voice because I was screaming so much on the in-lap - not cool at all! To overtake both Red Bulls in the race was the coolest thing for me. The backmarkers really came into play today - and, finally, they worked in my favour. I've often been caught out when I've been trying to get through traffic, but things finally went my way today.
"When Seb [Vettel] was delayed by a backmarker, I knew I had to grab my chance, so I turned the engine up to maximum revs and pushed like crazy. Along the back-straight I went to the to the outside, but Seb closed the door, so I moved to the inside, and he came back towards me. I was very lucky. It was very close. What made the difference today between Seb and me? I wanted it more, that's what!
"I won the last United States Grand Prix, in 2007, so, to come back and win it again - in front of such a great crowd - feels very special indeed. There are a couple of grands prix that are somehow out on their own: there's Monaco, Silverstone, Montreal, Spa and Monza. Now you can this circuit to that list - it's already one of the best racetracks in the world, maybe even right up there in the top three. It's a brilliant feeling to be finishing the season on a high. Hopefully, we'll go to Brazil next week with the same level of performance - I'd love to win my final two races for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes."
Jenson Button - 5th
"Starting on the dirty side of the racetrack was very tough - I ended up 15th by the end of the first lap. So fifth was probably the best result I could have had. I had a lot of fun this afternoon, and fought a lot of good battles on my way through. There was lots of action and lots of overtaking - and most of it was very clean, which was good to see. Obviously, however, fifth place wasn't the result I'd have ideally liked, but the car was working really well, and, with a better grid position, I could definitely have been right up there. Still, big congratulations to Lewis and the whole Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team.
"It was great to race in front of so many fantastically enthusiastic American fans - they looked like they really enjoyed themselves. Before we arrived here, we knew we were going to have to put on a good show, and I think we did just that. There was action and suspense all the way through, which is exactly what you need to create a great sporting spectacle. I really hope the US will now embrace Formula 1 at last."
Martin Whitmarsh, team principal
"Today was a brilliant day for Lewis Hamilton, a brilliant day for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, and a brilliant day for Formula 1.
"From the dirty side of the track, Lewis made a very good start but was nonetheless unsurprisingly passed by Mark [Webber], whose P3 grid slot had afforded him appreciably better traction off the line than Lewis had enjoyed from P2. But Lewis quickly caught and passed Mark, and then set about closing the gap to Seb.
"Their battle was long and intense, two great drivers at the top of their form, their cars never more than a few metres apart and often almost nose to tail, but, when Lewis made his move, he made it beautifully. From that moment onwards, try as Seb might to mount a counter-attack, Lewis was in supreme command: right on the limit yet in total control, the man of the match at his brilliant best.
"As for Jenson, he drove an excellent recovery race, handicapped as he had been by a throttle pedal problem in yesterday's qualifying session that had prevented him from qualifying better than 12th. And worse was to come: at the start of the race he was boxed in by several other cars, dropping further places immediately. Thereafter, however, he drove hard and well, climbing all the way up to fifth position at the chequered flag, having managed his tyre wear superbly at the same time as pulling off some extremely gutsy overtaking moves: 10 world championship points extremely well earned.
"Lewis's victory was Vodafone McLaren Mercedes' sixth grand prix win of the 2012 season and McLaren's 12th grand prix win on United States soil. It goes without saying that we're utterly thrilled to have won in Austin here today - just as we were absolutely delighted when we won the last United States Grand Prix, in 2007, at Indianapolis.
"I've already said that today was a brilliant day for Lewis Hamilton, a brilliant day for Vodafone McLaren Mercedes, and a brilliant day for Formula 1. But, just as important as any of that, I believe it's fair to say that it was also a brilliant day for motorsport in the United States. The Austin racetrack is a magnificent one, and today it staged a wonderful motor race. The city of Austin has welcomed us and our sport, and on behalf of everyone at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes I want to extend our friendship and gratitude in return.
"Next weekend we'll be in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and you may be well sure that Lewis and Jenson will be doing their utmost to record Vodafone McLaren Mercedes' seventh win of the 2012 season over the daunting bumps and turns of the famously serpentine Interlagos circuit. But we're already looking forward to coming back to Austin next year, and putting on another truly great show, on a truly great racetrack, in a truly great city, in a truly great country.
"Until next year, then, that's all folks!"
MercedesNico Rosberg - 13th
"It was a difficult weekend for us and unfortunately we weren't able to score any points today. However we have learned some important lessons for next year and that's what counts at the moment. I hope we can be more successful next year here in Austin as I have enjoyed our visit. The track, the people and the city are absolutely fantastic. So I look forward to coming back here in 2013 and we will work hard next weekend to finish the season on a positive note."
Michael Schumacher - 16th
"I can't find any words other than ironic ones for the race today - there was a lot of action around me but unfortunately in the wrong direction. To say that the race was a real struggle would be an understatement. I couldn't get any grip from my first set of tyres, and there must have been some kind of damage for them to perform so badly. We had to change our strategy to two stops which then compromised our race even further. All in all, it was much worse than expected today, especially considering that things did not look that bad yesterday and Friday."
Ross Brawn, team principal
"After a good qualifying result, Michael's first set of tyres performed very badly today and we decided to convert his strategy to a two-stop race. Once we got onto another set, the lap times came back up to what we expected but having such a poor first stint made it very difficult for him. Nico started a long way back and conserved his tyres well as we knew that we wanted to make a one-stop strategy work. He actually had a pretty good race with respectable lap times, and if we had managed to qualify better, he would have been in a reasonable place. Whilst it is disappointing not to score any points, we have learnt a lot about the car and tyres this weekend which will be useful for the future. Despite our result, this has been a great weekend for Formula One in the United States, and it was very pleasing to see so many fans here for the first race in Austin. Our thanks for the organisers for putting on such a good show."
Norbert Haug, Mercedes head of motorsport
"Nico's speed was not too bad but from 17th on the grid, he could not improve further. His one-stop strategy worked as planned which was not the case for Michael who, after a respectable place on the grid, did not have the speed in his car to defend his position after the start of the race. The team brought him in early and switched to a two-stop strategy. Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton and Vodafone McLaren Mercedes for winning the inaugural Grand Prix here at this great race track, after having won the last United States Grand Prix in 2007. Thank you to the organisers for making this race happen here in Austin. We will come back stronger next year. Congratulations to Red Bull Racing for securing the Constructors' World Championship today."
Red BullSebastian Vettel - 2nd
"I'm very, very happy for the team to win a third Constructors'. It's been a tough year so far and they have been pushing incredibly hard; they deserve to win, as we have been the best team. Obviously Mark and I were pushing throughout the year. It was a shame for Mark not to finish today. It was a very good race and we did everything we could, but unfortunately we ran into traffic at the wrong time and lost the gap to Lewis. He used his chance well, I tried to cover the inside but he had more speed down the straight. I respect the positions; Lewis beat us fair and square. We showed we had the pace today and now it's full steam ahead to the next race."
Mark Webber - DNF
"A third Constructors' for the team is an incredible achievement. Three years in a row is something that I think all of us would never have envisaged when we first started to be successful, so the results that we've had over the years is really astonishing. This Championship was probably the toughest one so far, for lots of different reasons and - it's a cliché - but it's been a real team effort. Looking to today, I had to stop with an alternator problem. We had low battery voltage for a few laps before and then I lost gearbox sync and KERS, something was happening on the battery side. It's frustrating; as we had a reasonable start to the race and a good fight with Lewis. We had issues to manage, but even when I knew we had them we tried to keep going and get something out of it, but we had to stop."
Christian Horner, team principal
"It's incredible for the whole team to have won a third consecutive World Championship. The Constructors' is what we use to measure ourselves against our competitors and, for every member of the team, it's how we gauge our performance. The Drivers' obviously has the prestige and public following but within the team they carry equal importance. So, to have achieved a consecutive third World Championship, which only three other teams in the history of the sport have achieved, puts us into a very elite group and having done it in such a short space of time is testimony to all the members of the team. That's all the hard work, the long hours and dedication from every department. It's a very proud moment for every single member of the team and Red Bull."
Adrian Newey, chief technical officer
"It's been an amazing year. To achieve the hat trick is a tremendous tribute to the whole team. It shows we've managed to keep our standards up and keep consistency. The hard work, the dedication, the talent of the people back in Milton Keynes - that's what this is all about. I hope they are celebrating and having a drink tonight. We are always thinking how we can improve the car and what we can do in the coming races. It's been a difficult year and unfortunately my pre-season concerns proved to be right. Having developed the car around side exhaust technology for the last two years, losing that was a bigger step back for us than our competitors and it's been quite a difficult evolution to get the car back to where we wanted. Getting a third title shows we're not a flash in the pan; we've managed to stay at the top, to understand the car and maintain consistency which is not easy at all. The first title was amazing because when I left McLaren for Red Bull, it was a bit of a career gamble, I was joining with a dream of perhaps trying to win races in the future with the team that I'd been involved with more or less from the start. To actually fulfil that dream and to achieve three titles has been amazing. We can all have dreams, but to do it is something special. It's not just me personally but it's the whole team and this is a tribute to everyone within it."
SauberSergio Pérez - 11th
"My start worked really well and the first laps were good too. I had a good pace, and the car was really quick, but then around lap ten I had a problem with the brakes. The pedal became very long and I had big difficulties before every corner. This cost a lot of time and so we didn't manage to get any points here. Regardless of the result it was a great experience to race here in front of so many Mexicans. The COTA is a great track and I hope we can have this Grand Prix on the calendar for many years. Now we will get ourselves together for the final attempt to improve to fifth place in the Constructors' World Championship next week."
Kamui Kobayashi - 14th
"For the entire weekend here I had warm up problems and didn't get the tyres to work. We have to find out why this was. The grip level only increased in the last laps of the race at the end of a very long stint with the hard tyres. This was crazy and I do hope very much we are stronger in Sao Paulo to finish the season on a high."
Monisha Kaltenborn, team principal
"For our team it was a weekend with ups and downs, which was also reflected in the race. Sergio made a very good start and was 11th after lap one, with a chance to fight for points, but later he reported a brake problem and, as a result, lost positions. Kamui was never able to recover from his grid position. We have not given up the fight for P5 in the constructors' championship, but we will have a lot of pressure in Interlagos. However, we are taking this as an extra motivation. Congratulations to the people responsible at the COTA for building a great track and organising a great event for the many fans who were present today."
Giampaolo Dall'Ara, head of track engineering
"This was a fairly difficult weekend for us. For some reason we were not able to exploit the potential which was there. Our main problem was to get the tyres to work, which was reflected in our qualifying performance. With Kamui we opted for an early pit stop, but we didn't benefit from that. Sergio had a very good first lap and therefore we went for a more standard strategy, but then he reported a long brake pedal. We spotted a problem, but we were confident on the safety side, because the travel soon stabilised. However, on the performance side we had to pay the price, particularly around the pit stop where we lost two positions to the Williams. We couldn't regain these positions."
Toro Rosso
Daniel Ricciardo - 12th
"I think I overtook more people in this race than in any other in my whole career! It was particularly fun at Turn 1, which became a favourite passing spot for me, especially one lap when I managed to pass two cars at once. Until today, the whole weekend had not gone that smoothly and of course, I was particularly disappointed with how qualifying went yesterday. Because of that, I was even more determined to go well today. I gave it everything I've got this afternoon, although it was not enough to finish in the points, but twelfth was probably the best result we could have got today. At the start, the dirty side was indeed very slippery and the two Marussias got ahead and I touched with one of them. I thought I'd damaged the front wing, but I managed to keep going as the car was okay and after that I think we got the maximum out of the car. It was very competitive on the Option, but once I switched to the Prime it seemed that tyre also worked better than expected, which meant I lost some of the advantage we had hoped to have by running a very long first stint. Deep down, I know I did my best."
Jean-Eric Vergne - DNF
"I got a really good start and I had about a tenth of a second to decide whether to go to the left or the right going into the first corner. Everyone seemed to be going right, so I went left aiming for the inside of the hairpin, as I was much quicker. But it didn't pay off, because I lost many positions and got stuck behind other cars and therefore could not warm up my tyres properly. Despite this, I was able to fight and make up some positions. Unfortunately, the suspension broke and the team told me to park the car rather than risk bringing it back. A shame, as this new circuit is fun to race on."
Franz Tost, team principal
"First of all congratulations to Red Bull Racing on securing the Constructors' championship this afternoon. It leaves the way clear for a thrilling final battle for the Drivers' title in a few days time in Brazil. As for our race, Daniel produced a good performance, given that after his qualifying was compromised by yellow flags, he came from eighteenth on the grid to twelfth at the chequered flag. It was very tight in terms of pace between ourselves, Sauber, Force India and Williams. We chose to run long on the Options as the car was running competitively on these tyres. Daniel did everything he could to close the gap to those ahead when he was on the Prime and managed to get near to Perez in the final stages, but there were not enough laps for him to pass. With Jev, we had a suspension problem and told him to park the car. We still need to investigate its cause. We have one more opportunity to pick up points this season as we head for Sao Paolo and what is often an exciting and unpredictable race."
WilliamsPastor Maldonado - 9th
"After today's race I'm happy for the team, for the Venezuelan fans and for myself. I hope that this will be one of the best racing venues for Formula One. On the first lap I ran wide which meant I had to fight for places throughout but I enjoyed it because it was a good race and we were competitive. At the beginning I lost many places but I managed to recover quite well. On the last lap I was fighting with Hulkenburg but there wasn't enough time to get the place. I am looking forward to the last round in Brazil and we are ready to fight again there."
Bruno Senna - 10th
"Unfortunately starting on the dirty side of the grid hurt my race in the early stages as it was quite messy into the first corner. We had good pace though and were overtaking when we needed to. Unfortunately we came out of the pits behind Hulkenberg which was frustrating as he was just quick enough exiting Turn 11 each lap and we couldn't overtake him which damaged my tyres allowing Pastor to catch us both. I knew Pastor would make a move and I wasn't going to close the door as we needed the points for the team. Overall, it was a pretty difficult race but it was good to end with both cars in the points which is what we are aiming for."
Mark Gillan, chief operations engineer
"Both drivers didn't have the best of starts. Whilst Pastor managed to maintain position on the clean side of the grid he was eventually pushed wide by Massa at Turn 2, which meant that he picked up a lot of dirt on his option tyres which subsequently took a long time to clean up. Both drivers drove very good races but unfortunately we were not able to clear Hulkenberg. It's good to have both cars in the points but ultimately we wanted more. We now concentrate all our efforts on the final race of the season."

If you need proof a big turbo can make anything go fast, look no further than this video of a four door Volvo 850 running a 6.85 second 1/4 mile.
Sure, it is heavily modified, but what six second Volvo isn't? Underneath (and sticking out of) the hood is a huge turbo attached to a not even close to stock Volvo b230 four cylinder engine.
As you can see watching this video, the result is a 1300+ horsepower monster four door Volvo that is equal parts impressive and awesome.
