2008 Nissan Rogue ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
All-new compact crossover SUV.
The Nissan Rogue is a compact SUV in the crossover style, much like the Honda CR-V. Despite the recent trend toward seven-passenger seating, the Rogue seats five. And while other compact SUVs offer V6 power, the Rogue is strictly a four-cylinder, again like the CR-V.
Based on an economy car platform, the Rogue is meant as a daily commuter, not an off-road adventure vehicle. The towing capacity is only 1500 pounds and the available all-wheel drive system is intended more for snow and rain than rocks and mud. The four-cylinder engine works well with the continuously variable transmission to provide decent pickup and frugal fuel economy.
Behind the wheel, the Rogue offers carlike ride and handling. We think it's one of the better handling small SUVs, but it's not sporty or particularly fun to drive. The ride allows for a lot of road feel and can become hard on pockmarked roads. Road imperfections and engine sounds also intrude on the cabin, leaving passengers thinking that the Rogue could benefit from more sound insulation.
Otherwise, the cabin is pleasant, with some materials that would look good in higher priced vehicles. The controls are easy to use and understand, but the Rogue lacks some of the creature comforts and tech gadgets that are starting to filter down to lower priced vehicles. There is no navigation system, for instance.
An SUV should provide cargo utility, and the Rogue is up to the task. The rear seats fold flat and there is even an available folding front passenger seat to permit longer items to be loaded. In back, Nissan also offers a handy cargo organizer that can keep groceries from sliding around and provide storage for muddy clothes.
With starting prices starting below $20,000, the Rogue is a worthy competitor for the higher-priced Honda CR-V. Its carlike road manners, cargo utility and prudent fuel economy make it appealing to young families or active singles. Those who want to go off-road or tow a trailer will be better served by more rugged vehicles.
The Nissan Rogue is offered in two trim levels, S and SL, each with front- or all-wheel drive. All Rogues have a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that makes 170 horsepower. It is mated to a continuously variable automatic transmission with an infinite number of gear ratios. When the SL Premium Package is ordered, the transmission has shift paddles to select among six predetermined gear ratios. The all-wheel-drive system is meant for on-road use, and it does not include low-range gearing.
The Rogue S models come standard with cloth upholstery, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, four-way manually adjustable front seats, cruise control, power windows, power locks, power mirrors, remote keyless entry, AM/FM/CD stereo with four speakers and auxiliary input jack, 60/40 split-folding rear bench seat and 215/70R16 all-season tires on steel wheels. S models have no options.
The Rogue SL models with six-way manually adjustable driver's seat, roof rails and 225/60R17 on aluminum wheels.
Optional for SL are a sunroof and a Leather Package with leather upholstery, leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, six-way power driver's seat with power lumbar support, one-touch up/down driver's window, auto-dimming rearview mirror, Homelink universal garage door opener and a compass. A Premium Package for front-drive SL models includes Bose premium audio with seven speakers and six-disc CD changer, XM satellite radio, steering wheel-mounted audio controls, speed-sensitive volume control, paddle shifters, trip computer, outside temperature display, foldable rear cargo organizer, rear tonneau cover, fold-flat front passenger seat, fog lights, illuminated front visor mirrors, center console dual-level tray and mood lighting. The Premium Package for AWD models has that equipment plus Bluetooth hands-free cell phone link, xenon headlights, and Nissan's Intelligent key keyless ignition.
Safety features include dual front airbags, torso-protecting front side airbags, head-protecting curtain side airbags with rollover sensors, front seat active head restraints, LATCH-style child seat anchors, tire-pressure monitor, ABS with brake assist and electronic brake force distribution, traction control and antiskid control.
The compact SUV market has been a successful one for Japanese juggernauts Honda and Toyota since the mid-to-late 1990s, but Japan's other major automaker, Nissan, has been late to the party. Well, Nissan is finally arriving and it's bringing the Rogue as its date.
Nissan waited quite some time to finally get into the cute-ute game, but the Rogue is finally here and it appears to be aimed squarely at the Honda CR-V. The styling is swoopy, with rounded lines and a wedge shape from front to rear. Flared rear shoulders and an upswept window line give the Rogue a sporty feel.
Ornamentation is minimal. A black and chrome Nissan badge up front is flanked by a body color grille. Only that badge and the headlights lend any contrast to the front end. There is even less character to the sides, which have no ornamentation at all. The mirrors are black on the S model and body color on SL. Chrome or black rub strips would help here, as would chrome door handles. The 17-inch aluminum wheels on the SL help, but the S has plain old steel wheels with hubcaps.
We think the Rogue looks best from the rear, where the dark rear glass, eye-shaped taillights, rounded panels, and license plate recess give it some definition. Unfortunately, the rear liftgate lacks separate opening glass.
The look is not unattractive, but it's plain. Among compact SUVs, the Rogue has a sleeker, car-based crossover look, like the CR-V, as opposed to the upright mini-SUVs like Ford Escape or Jeep Liberty. There is good reason for this, as the Rogue is based on Nissan's C platform, which also hosts the compact Sentra four-door sedan.
Onlookers will be surprised to learn that the Rogue is the longest vehicle in the class. At 182.9 inches overall, it is even longer than the seven-passenger Toyota RAV4 and the seemingly large Jeep Liberty.
At first glance, the interior of the Nissan Rogue seems nice if somewhat plain. Closer inspection reveals some quality materials that are impressive for its starting price. The dash, for instance, is molded in a soft-touch material that would be right at home in a Lexus. The door tops also have a nice soft-touch material. The remainder of the materials are price-appropriate plastic that fits together well.
The instrument panel features only two gauges, the tachometer and speedometer. There is also a motorcycle-inspired round graphic readout that displays the fuel level and water temperature, and on Rogues so equipped, trip computer information.
The center stack features three easily used round climate control knobs, and Nissan's unique radio layout. It has substantially sized buttons, but the presets are grouped in A, B and C folders, instead of AM and FM sets. It takes some getting used to, but with 18 total presets, most drivers will be able to program all of their favorite stations. An auxiliary input jack is provided for MP3 player connectivity.
Storage for small items up front is adequate. The center console has two integral cupholders and a small tray that will work for holding life's minutiae. If that's not enough, the console bin is very deep and is available with a removable tray to give it two levels of storage.
The driver's seat is comfortable and offers a good driving position, even though there aren't many seat adjustments. The tilt steering wheel helps, and there is enough head and leg room for all but the tallest drivers. There is good visibility to the front and the side mirrors are large, but over-the shoulder visibility is compromised by a smallish rear window and rear side windows that are pinched at the rear. The ride height makes getting in and out of the Rogue very easy.
The second row is usefully roomy, with head and leg room that can accommodate adults, even with the front seats moved far back. Three adults in the rear will be cramped, but they should be able to deal with short trips. Toe space under the front seats is plentiful.
Cargo space is good but not at the top of the class. The second-row seats are split 60/40, and they fold flat in an easy one-step motion to open up the maximum 57.9 cubic feet of cargo space.
The available Premium Package option includes a folding front passenger seat. It folds almost flat to allow loading of longer items. The Premium Package also has a rear cargo organizer. It has a recessed floor and removable nets to act as partitions, both of which help prevent groceries from rolling around in the back.
While the low floor makes loading items easy, separate opening rear glass would make the cargo area even easier to access.
Driving Impression
The Nissan Rogue is based on an economy car platform and those roots show through in more ways than one. While it is among the better handling compact SUVs, it's not sporty. It drives more like a car than an SUV, but it has more body lean in turns than most cars. The brakes feel touchy at first, but it's easy to get used to them. The electric assist steering requires only a light effort, but it feels natural and direct with good road feel. In fact, the Rogue transmits more road feel to the driver through the steering wheel than most compact SUVs.
The ride is generally comfortable, but it can become busy on bumpy pavement and sharp ruts can give passengers a jolt. Perhaps Rogue's biggest drawback is interior noise. Ruts and bumps cause crashing sounds, rough pavement induces body drumming, and the engine groans under heavy throttle, all characteristics we'd expect in an economy car. Put simply, the Rogue seems like it could use more body insulation, though we realize that would add weight.
Like the CR-V, the Rogue offers only a four-cylinder engine. Nissan's four-cylinder makes 170 horsepower and is one of the better four-cylinders available today. It has the low-end punch to provide good pickup from a stop. Midrange power is adequate, but the Rogue needs a head of steam for passing maneuvers.
The continuously variable transmission works well with the engine, quickly switching to an appropriate gear ratio for the driving conditions. The only way to tell that it's not a standard automatic is to floor the accelerator and keep it there. The transmission reacts by picking the gear ratio to put the engine in its optimum rev range and keeping it there. With the available Premium Package, the CVT has steering wheel shift paddles and six preset gear ratios. The shift paddles allow for a sportier driving experience by giving the driver more control.
The Rogue goes fairly easy on gas. With front-wheel drive, it is EPA-rated at 22 mpg City and 27 Highway; AWD models are slightly lower at 21/26 mpg.
While the powertrain works well, it's best suited for around-town duty. The available six-cylinder models from Toyota and Saturn are considerably faster. The Rogue is also not built for towing, with a maximum capacity of only 1500 pounds.
The Nissan Rogue matches the Honda CR-V for carlike road manners and fuel economy, though it's not as quiet on the inside and doesn't ride as smoothly. The Rogue is priced lower than the CR-V. It should be a good choice for drivers looking for a daily commuter with lots of cargo space. Drivers who tow boats and go off-road will want to consider more rugged vehicles such as the Nissan Xterra or Jeep Liberty.

That about 10 demonstrators were allowed to scale the walls surrounding the US Embassy in Damascus today was alarming.
Bashar al-Assad's security state is notoriously effective. Only a few hundred protesters were outside the embassy's gates and there was ample warning. Small groups have been gathering outside to throw eggs and fruit at the embassy for the past few days. And the protest was, at any rate, in Mr. Assad's support.
Though no one was hurt at the US embassy, three French guards were injured at their embassy during a similar protest. The incidents were quickly brought to a close: In the US case, thanks to the intervention of the Marine detachment guarding the embassy. But it will probably add fuel to the fire of those in Washington who have been arguing that President Obama should recall Ambassador Robert Ford in response to the Syrian uprising, which has seen over 1,500 people killed, so far, for challenging Mr. Assad's rule.
Mr. Ford has been on the job for about six months, and was the first person in the post since the Bush administration withdrew Ambassador Margaret Scobey in 2005 in response to the assassination of Lebanese politician Rafik Hariri, which the US blamed on Syria.
Mr. Obama fought considerable congressional opposition to get Ford's appointment approved, arguing that a strong diplomatic voice in Damascus could nudge Syria toward peace talks with Israel and do more to secure US interests than studied disinterest in relations. But Obama's congressional critics argue that his engagement strategy is failing.
Ford visited Hama on Friday as did his French counterpart Eric Chevalier. It was a stunning event: US ambassadors usually stay out of volatile situations, and Hama has been the scene of both massive protests against Assad and the shooting of demonstrators in response. The US embassy in Egypt, for instance, steered well clear of the protests that swept Hosni Mubarak from power earlier this year, though their locus at Tahrir Square was just a few hundred yards away from the embassy (to be sure, the protesters view that the US was steadfastly supporting Mubarak would have made an ambassadorial visit a dicey proposition).
But on Friday, both ambassadors were greeted warmly in Hama and on that day, at least, the protesters weren't attacked. That's something that proponents of having an ambassador in Syria point to as an argument in their favor. Assad's regime may be killing and torturing protesters to hold on to power, but having a strong diplomatic presence can yield dividends, they argue – whether it's by acting as a restraining force on violence or as an avenue of communication with the regime.
Nick Blanford reported for us today that diplomats told him that the US embassy suffered "extensive damage" in the attack, but also reckons that Ford will remain in harness for some time yet. "The Obama administration's congressional critics, who opposed his being sent to Damascus in the first place, would seize on his recall," Blanford wrote. "Furthermore, the administration has repeatedly emphasized the importance of having an ambassador in Damascus to convey Washington's views to the Syrian leadership."
But if protests continue, and are matched by government troops firing on and jailing more protesters, relations are bound to further deteriorate. While unproven, there was a whiff of government incitement about the protests at the two embassies today.
The Assad regime was furious about the visit to Hama, site of a famous massacre carried out by troops under his father Hafez in 1982. During the weekend, State TV devoted a large amount of time to condemning the visit and the US more generally. Today, the State Department blamed the Syrian government for today's attack. "A television station that is heavily influenced by Syrian authorities encouraged this violent demonstration," the State Department wrote in a statement.
The US embassy has weathered serious attacks in Damascus before. In 1998, then Ambassador Ryan Crocker's wife had to take refuge in an embassy safe-room when a stone-throwing mob overran it. Then, crowds were furious at the Desert Fox air campaign against Iraq. Mr. Crocker was not recalled. In 2006, protesters in Damascus burned the Danish, Chilean, and Norwegian embassies apparently angry about cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad in a Danish newspaper.

From WWE.com pushing the storyline on RAW last night:
LAS VEGAS — WWE.com sources indicate that Mr. McMahon suffered a broken pelvis as the result of Brock Lesnar's surprise attack at the conclusion of Monday night's Raw.
After revealing some damning evidence that exhibited Paul Heyman's connection to both Brad Maddox and The Shield, the WWE Chairman had made up his mind to fire Heyman in front of the entire WWE Universe. But just as Mr. McMahon was about to send Heyman packing with two notorious words, Brock's music reverberated throughout the arena and the hulking behemoth laid out Mr. McMahon with a crushing F-5, which appears to have inflicted serious injury on the WWE Chairman.
It remains to be seen why Brock has returned to WWE after a five-month absence to target Mr. McMahon or what role, if any, Heyman had in such a vicious assault.
Stick with WWE.com for further updates on Mr. McMahon's condition.


text: Love the sinner, hate the sin? Not if you're Catholic you don't. In 2004, the now-Pope barred pro-choice politicians from accepting Communion, though most of them (like all other pro-choice Catholics) basically ignored him. Now there's a hubbub because some whiny guy from Lancaster saw a priest give Communion to Senator Edward Kennedy at the Pope's big mass in Washington last month. The spokeswoman from the Washington archdiocese told reporters that such a thing "wouldn't be possible," but Kennedy's office confirmed it. Notably, although the Catholic Church is supposedly equally opposed to the death penalty, Catholic politicians that refuse to use the power of their office to eliminate the death penalty or prevent executions have never faced similar public repudiations from Church leaders. Ahh, sweet double standards: Keeping the Catholic Church hierarchy in power for 2,000 years. [Washington Times]

The History of Jewish Diversity
The Jewish experience is built upon foundations of diversity as old as the Jewish people, a reality that may be lost to many Jews who tend to think of other Jews as being only like themselves. The historical home of the Jews lies at the geographic crossroads of Africa, Asia, and Europe. Jews are an amalgam of many peoples and Jewish origins include a multitude of languages, nations, tribes, and skin colors.
The essence of the story of the Jewish people is based on the Exodus from Egypt, where Jews sojourned for 400 years. The Exodus story is not only a metaphor for the escape from slavery to freedom; it is also a geographic journey that took the Hebrew people across the Sinai from Asia to Africa and back again. Over time, ancient Judea, Samaria, and Israel were conquered by the Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and Turks, among others. Throughout the centuries, the Hebrews had long and deep connections with Mediterranean, European, Asian and African cultures. Today, Israel is one of the most racially, ethnically, and nationally diverse countries in the world, with immigrants from over 70 countries.
Even at their beginning, Jews were a blend of different groups. As Ephraim Isaac, Ph.D., the Ethiopian-born director of the Institute of Semitic Studies in Princeton, New Jersey, explains:
Over two thousand years ago, the Jews were an ethnic group\but even then not a "perfect" one. Since then, Jews have intermingled with many nations and absorbed many proselytes. [c] The ancient Israelites were not a racial unit but a sacral association, called an amphictyony by some scholars. They were a people bound together by a common language, and common territory, similar historical experience, and common consciousness. The Ark of the Covenant was the main sacred cult object and formed the center of worship. They had a primary unit of social and territorial organization, [c] and extended family that was then patrilineal. [c] It is the centrality of concern for the Torah revealed on Mount Sinai and the great values of our heritage that bind us together as Jews.
The story of the Jewish people is filled with interracial and intercultural mixing. After all, Israel's greatest prophet, Moses, married Zipporah, an Ethiopian. Solomon and David each took wives from Africa. Joseph married an Egyptian-an African. While so much of contemporary Jewish consciousness comes from Eastern and Central Europe, Jews have deep roots in Africa, and later in the Iberian Peninsula.
From their original homes in Asia and Africa, Jews spread across the globe. The World Jewish Congress survey of the Jewish Diaspora indicated that by the mid-16th century, Jewish communities could be found in countries as far-flung as Jamaica, Brazil, Yemen, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Uganda, India, and China, as well as in many countries in Europe. Even today, the World Jewish Congress identifies 120 countries with a Jewish community and it does not include all that we know about.
Scholars have studied some Jewish population migrations more than others-to Central and Eastern Europe, for example. Others are less well known. The migrations throughout Africa are almost completely lost to historical analysis, and the movement of the Anusim (Conversos) to the New World has not been well analyzed.
Today, the Jews that live in the other countries around the globe are as varied as the countries themselves. Some are immigrant communities that may look different from the surrounding populations in which they find themselves, as well as Jews who are, at first glance, hard to distinguish from the larger communities in which they live. Just as is happening in the United States, France, or Argentina today, from their earliest days Jews around the world married local people, and, as a result, they came to resemble the people around them. Still, they retained their Jewish identities and religious observances; only they did so with a local accent and flavor, reflected in dress, language, cultures, and food.
As would be expected, the cultures of diverse Jews reflect the regions in which they live. Food is a good example. According to the Book of Jewish Food by Claudia Roden, an Egyptian Jew who lives in London:
Jewish food tells the story of an uprooted, migrating people. [c] There is really no such thing as Jewish food. [c] Local regional food becomes Jewish when it travels with Jews to new homelands. [c] The main influence on the development and shaping of their cuisine was their mobility. [c] Jews moved to escape persecution or economic hardship, or for trade. [c] The vehicles of gastronomic knowledge were merchants and peddlers, traveling rabbis, preachers and teachers, students and cantors, professional letter carriers, beggars (who were legion), and pilgrims on their way to and from the Holy Land. [c] It is possible, by examining family dishes, to define the identity and geographical origin of a family line.
Ethiopian Jews, like non-Jewish Ethiopians, eat their food with injera, flat, spongy bread used to scoop up purees lentils, vegetables, and other spicy stews. In the south of India, the Jews of Cochin make curries with chilies and coconut, ingredients not found in typical Ashkenazi kitchens. None of this should be a surprise, since Ashkenazi cooking reflects its Eastern and Central European origins as well.
The similarities among these communities are as significant as the differences. While Asian, African, and Latin American Jews are racially and ethnically different from European Jews, they wear kippot and tallitot, read Hebrew and chant Torah. They hold Shabbat services, have rabbis as their spiritual leaders, and say the blessings over bread and wine on Shabbat. They have synagogues and mikvot. Many Jews may look different from their fellow Jews of European origin, but they pray to the same God and consider themselves part of the same people. Jews are diverse, yet they are tied to each other historically and religiously.
The majority of Jews in the United States are Ashkenazi, mainly from Eastern Europe. However, even the great variety of European cultures from which most American Jews descended is understood only in a cursory way. Few realize how complex and varied the communities were from place to place, the distinct nature of Hungarian Jews, Polish Jews, Greek Jews, and many others.
Even less is known about Mizrahi Jews (Jews of the Arab world) and the rich societies that once thrived in Yemen, Iran, or Iraq. Relatively few people know about the ancient communities of Jews in India, despite Jews having lived there for centuries.
This web site provides a brief overview of some better known and lesser-known Jewish communities. Additionally, there are examples of newer and emerging communities that are in transition to Judaism. They illustrate the scope and variety of diversity of Jews around the world.
How Do We Define "Jewish Diversity"
Just as Ashkenazi Jews are a mix of many peoples encountered during centuries of wandering throughout the Diaspora, Jews of color have different backgrounds, different life experiences, and different perspectives on their relationship to Judaism. These differences include geography, socioeconomic class, ideology, culture, skin tone, language, paths to Judaism, and so on. What language can be used to describe multi-racial and multi-ethnic Jews? What about those who are adopted from Asia by Ashkenazi parents? How would one categorize Indian Jews? Some African Americans whose families have been Jewish for over 100 years prefer to be known as "Hebrew Israelites," feeling that "Jew" refers to whites. Still other African American Jews have joined mainstream synagogues. What about the Anusim (known also as Conversos or Crypto-Jews), who were forced to convert to Catholicism in Spain and Portugal over 500 years ago
How do we talk about ourselves when the language we have is too narrow and confining, like outdated racial categories on a census form? How do we describe a group for which there is no group label?
We must use what is admittedly inadequate language: "Jews of color," "diverse Jews," "racially and ethnically diverse Jews." All of these terms refer to those who are in currently distinct subcultures from the majority different from non-sephardic European backgrounds. Many people who fall into this category may not define themselves as "people of color." Yet they may feel marginalized and many in the mainstream may see diverse Jews as being "other." Whatever their origins and culture, whatever their skin tone, whatever their path to Judaism, we include them in our discussions of Jewish diversity.

Spelt On The Beach - and a Spelt Pugliese
When some friends invited us to the beach at West Wittering (near Chichester, England) last week, they asked me to bring some spelt bread, as they try to stay away from wheat.
Based on my previous experiments with spelt I came up with two very delicious.
Not even the fine sand on Wittering Beach (which gets just about everywhere) could do harm to the culinary experience (on the way home it was mentioned that we passed the food test ;-) )
Several commentators inspired my to go fluffy with spelt - Today I made a small 100% Spelt Pugliese (light spelt flour),
the formula and photos are at the end of this post.
Here are some pictures:
The 100% Wholegrain Spelt (with a hint of honey and malt):
The same loaf, cut:
This loaf has a deep flavor. The rye malt and honey palance the spelt flavor very nicely without dominating it.
The other loaf was a 40% rye / 60% light spelt mixed bread:
Here the crumb:
With a lot of rye present, this dough is quite a sticky mess. Try to handle it with a very light hand, taking care not to deflate it when shaping.
The formulas are on Google Docs:
== Update 30/05 6.19 GMT ==
Corrected the worksheet to read "Spelt Flour" instead of "Rye Flour"
This one is really 100% Wholegrain Spelt
100% Wholegrain Spelt Sourdough
You can download / export the spreadsheets as Excel files (or other formats). The formulas are preserved, and you can adjust yield and other fields (marked yellow) to your liking.
Happy Baking,
Here comes the Spelt Pugliese:
Here the crumb - nicely open and light:
And here the formula:
I used light stoneground spelt flour from Sharpham Park
Bulk fermentation: 2 hours at 26dC, final rest 40 minutes
The formula is again on Google Docs:
Happy Baking,

Lt. Governor Taylor Announces OSHIIP "Welcome to Medicare" Event
Educational session set for June 8 at Shelby Senior Center
COLUMBUS — Ohio Lieutenant Governor and Department of Insurance Director Mary Taylor announced the Department's Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program (OSHIIP) is hosting a "Welcome to Medicare" event on Wednesday, June 8 starting at 6 p.m. at the Shelby Senior Center. The facility is located at 304 South West Ave., Sidney, Ohio.
"This event is a great opportunity for new beneficiaries to talk face-to-face with our staff about Medicare benefits," Taylor said. "We will be in Shelby County to help citizens there transition into new health insurance coverage and to address any questions or concerns they may have."

Surveyor 3
Goals: Surveyor 3 was to image a potential Apollo landing site from the lunar surface and obtain information on the lunar soil's radar reflectivity, thermal properties, and ability to support the weight of an Apollo lunar module.
Accomplishments: The lander transmitted 6,326 TV pictures of the surrounding area to Earth. But its biggest achievement was scooping up shovelfuls of lunar soil and conducting experiments to see how the soil would stand up to the weight of an Apollo lunar module. Scientists found the soil to have a consistency similar to wet sand, solid enough for the needs of the upcoming Apollo missions.

I love kiteboarding, surfing and any sport that has water involved. The kiteboarding virus hit me when I was 11 years old and I thought it would only last a couple of years. But now I know it will never go away. It gives me such a great feeling of freedom and I'm really lucky that I can travel the world doing what I love to do.
I became freestyle world champion in 2009 and won the King of the Air in 2014, 2018 and 2019. Competing is really in my blood and I love it but I'm also in the quest for the perfect wave, wind and place to ride that make me have the biggest smile on my face.
Music: Atomis by Wuzi
When and how did you start kiteboarding? When I was 7 I started flying kites on the beach. At age 9 I started surfing and when I saw that the two of my favorite sports where getting combined, I was hooked from day one. I was 11 when I kitesurfed for the first time.
When did you decide to become a pro? In 2001 O'Neill organized a kiteboard world cup here in Holland. And that was the first time I had the chance to meet all the pros and see them ride. From that point onwards I knew I wanted to become a pro too and travel the world to compete against world's best.
How did you become a part of O'Neill? During the kiteboard world cup in 2001 I did a demo with one of the pros Max Bo. After that session O'Neill had spotted me and I've been with O'Neill ever since.
What makes you unreasonable? I love finding new places to kite. Whether it is riding big waves, the strongest winds or my latest mission Urban Kiteboarding in Amsterdam. I just love it and can't get enough. And thinking this is only the beginning puts a huge smile on my face.
What has been a highlight in your career? Becoming world champion in freestyle in 2009 was like a dream come true. And winning the King of the Air in 2014 with all my friends and family on the beach is something I will never ever forget either.
What are your plans for the future? First of all, I want to keep enjoying what I'm doing now. I want to make the biggest jump ever on a kite and ride the biggest wave ever ridden on a kiteboard. I want to ride the biggest storm and ride in the craziest places the globe has to offer. There are just so many cool things to do. There is almost not enough time… hahah
Name 10 things you never travel without? Passport, IPhone, credit card, kites, board, Bose noise canceling head phones, speakers, Leatherman, screwdriver and duct tape (that stuff rocks!).
What motivates you to get out of bed in the morning? Wind, waves, sunshine, happy people, a sweet breakfast and a coffee!
If we visited you at breakfast, what would you be eating? A lot! hahah sometimes at night when I try to fall asleep I'm already thinking about my breakfast. I love eating yoghurt with lots of fruit, nuts and muesli.
If you weren't kiteboarding, what would you do? That's a very good question. I'm not really the person to sit still for very long. I would probably do another sport.
Any other sports you're good at? I love stand up paddling, it keeps me fit and it's fun. Surf a bunch too. Mountain bike when there is no wind or waves and I like to paraglide when the conditions are good for it.
What music are you listening to? Reggae all the way. I know some people hate me about it especially during a road trip. But can't help it it always puts a smile on my face.
What has been the scariest moment in your sport career? When I tore my ACL during the world tour when I was leading the tour. I couldn't believe how handicapped I was. It still scares me sometimes when I think about it. Especially the thought that I can be on the water.
What was your most embarrassing moment in your career/life? Had my little man hanging out of my shorts by accident during a contest… That was pretty embarrassing.
How does your training routine look like? It all depends on the conditions. I always try to train where the conditions are best for that day.
Describe your perfect day? Wake up, surf, have breakfast, wait for the wind to pick up, have a wave session on a kite and when the wind really picks up have a big air session. And fall asleep in the biggest and softest bed in the world.

Reducing the Magnetic Signature of a Submarine
Mark Fowler February 24, 2014
Submarines can be detected by enemy weapon systems due to their magnetic signatures. By designing vessels with reduced magnetic signatures, detection can be avoided, but the composition and size of most submarines often make simulation difficult. COMSOL software helps you overcome this problem.
Detecting Magnetic Signatures
Magnetic signatures are measurable disturbances in Earth's magnetic field. Submarines produce their own magnetic signatures, for example. However, the magnetic signatures they produce make them vulnerable to enemy weapon systems. During submarine warfare, enemies use increasingly sophisticated magnetic sensors and signal processing systems that make disturbances in Earth's magnetic field easy to detect.

To combat this, engineers use degaussing techniques, i.e. methods to suppress submarines' magnetic signatures to safe levels. One such technique involves generating a counteracting magnetic field of sufficient strength and direction that matches the background field. In order to accomplish this, one must be able to predict a submarine's magnetic signature based on its magnetic properties.
Standing up to the Submarine Simulation Challenge
Submarines are essentially long steel tubes, and their magnetic signature is primarily due to the permeability of the steel hull. Although it is built to withstand enormous pressure, a submarine hull is still relatively thin compared to the size of the vessel. Simulation of such a structure would be difficult using standard finite element analysis because volume meshes of thin, long structures are difficult to generate and tend to become very large.
However, using COMSOL Multiphysics and the AC/DC Module, you can overcome this issue by modeling thin metal sheets as 2D faces embedded in a 3D geometry.
A model geometry of a submarine where face objects represent the submarine and a 3D box represents the surrounding water.
The Reduced Field Formulation
Once you have built the geometry of the submarine and you understand its magnetic properties, you can work towards predicting its magnetic signature. The AC/DC Module contains the Reduced Field formulation, which is a very helpful feature for obtaining the magnetic signature. The feature allows you to define the background field as a predefined quantity and solve only for disturbances in the field.
If you follow the step-by-step instructions in the Model Gallery, you can set up and solve the model.
The total magnetic flux density in a horizontal slice plot 7.5 m below the keel.
A distinct field disturbance is apparent due to the presence of the submarine. Shown, using arrows, are the magnitude and direction of the tangential magnetic field in the submarine's hull. The reduced field is seen as isosurfaces of the reduced magnetic potential.

Hello Mark
I don't agree with you when stating that the magnetization is null.
It is not : the magnetization can be considered as tangential (it is wrong at some places of the hull) but in no case it is null. The magnetization is M=(mur – 1)H = (mur-1)(Hred + Hbackground) (1) or, alternatively, B=mu0(H+M) (2).
The ferromagnetic material implies a non-null magnetization.
The mfnc model is unable to compute the magnetization (try to represent Mx, My and Mz) but because it only computes the reduced field. To access the value of magnetization, we need to use one of the previous relations (1) or (2)

Nutella and Toasted Coconut Brownies
Exceptions do occur though, and World Nutella Day - on February 5th - is just as good of an excuse as any to indulge. These fudgy brownies use Nutella instead of chocolate, are topped with a thin layer of nutella and sprinkled with toasted coconut. The deliciously toasty smell of shredded coconut is heavenly and as each flake slowly turns golden brown, I always remember how much I enjoy cooking with coconut. And in case you were wondering, my Nutella jar has been licked clean.
Nutella and Toasted Coconut Brownies
1 batch of Nutella brownies (I used this recipe, and cut down the sugar to 1/2 cup instead of 1 cup)
1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
1/3 cup Nutella
Cut brownies into squares once completely cool. In a nonstick pan, cook coconut over medium heat, stirring often until coconut turns golden; set aside. Top each brownie square with Nutella and top with sprinkling of coconut. Enjoy!

Your feelings about Nutella match mine to a T. I grew up in Brazil, and Nutella was very expensive then. My Mom would buy a jar every once in a blue moon, and strangely enough, in a few days the jar was polished clean.
I also don't go very close to the Nutella spot in the grocery store. But I might have to stop by and grab a small jar to try this recipe. Coconut and Nutella... (sigh)

After 19 months away from baseball thanks to a shoulder surgery and an additional six starts into the 2010 season, Mets ace Johan Santana finally notched a win.
The Mets defeated the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3 last Saturday at Citi Field in a nationally televised game. It was Santana's first win since September 2, 2010.
Santana has been solid this season save for one disastrous start, but the Mets hitters have not been able to provide support, failing to score a single run in Santana's first four starts.
Exiting the game after seven innings, a combination of Bobby Parnell and Frankie Francisco sealed the victory for Santana, who is now 1-2 on the season but a low ERA of 2.61.
The Mets fell to the Diamondbacks on Friday night, but were able to win the rubber match on Sunday with R.A. Dickey on the mound for Autism Awareness Day at the stadium.
Dickey, 4-1 on the season, carried a shutout into the 9th inning, but after walking the leadoff batter was pulled after the Diamondbacks scored a run. The bullpen sealed a 3-1 victory.
The Mets (17-13) began this week with a road trip to Philadelphia, taking the first on Monday night thanks to an unlikely hero: Jordany Valdespin, who got his first career hit in the Major Leagues, a three-run home off closer Jonathan Papelbon with two out in the top of the ninth to give the Mets a 5-2 lead.
On Tuesday, the Mets used a late rally to win the game 7-5. The Phillies (14-17) are currently in last place in the N.L. East.

theWolfGroup needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 390 designs submitted by 64 freelance designers.
http://www.theWolfGroup.org - The WolfGroup - Performance Consultants
It took a while to capture in words what we do for clients: "Our focus is on enhancing organizational performance. Through evaluation, troubleshooting and facilitation, we partner with clients to take stock of past performance, diagnose their current challenges, and help them define their strategy for the future."
Since 5 years, the Wolfgroup has worked with international humanitarian and development organizations. This could be United Nations agencies- the World Health Organization, helping them create training for a pandemic preparedness, the World Food Programme, studying the results of their work in the Democratic Republic of Congo, or helping UNRWA mark their 60th anniversary of supporting Palestinian Refugees in the middle east. Our clients also include non-governmental organizations (Action Against Hunger, Oxfam, B'tselem) and Red Cross Agencies (ICRC, IFRC, American Red Cross).
We pride ourselves on being practical, insightful, future-looking, ideating consultants, who thrive on complexity and deliver results. The inspiration for the 'We solve problems' motto was Winston Wolf from Pulp Fiction (http://thewolfgroup.org/About/about.html). Only later did we recognize how far the wolf metaphor could be stretched...
The http://www.theWolfgroup.org website can provide more insight, as can my own profile- http://www.linkedin.com/in/rajrana.
Not entirely sure what to put here-
The WolfGroup is a platform- we bid on work, assembling ad hoc teams that bring in the requisite expertise for the project from our global networks of consultants.
Our core market is international organizations- but not uniquely- some think-tanks and corporate entities have been clients.
Potential clients will stumble on our site while looking for specific skill sets (facilitation, evaluation, project development, training) or by themes (development, peacebuilding, peacekeeping).
It is an existing market, a niche we know- and are increasingly well known in. Within organizations, the types of people who might visit our website would be those involved in results-based management, managers looking for consultants to staff a particular project/consultancy, or specialists looking for the types of services we have to offer.
While people have been intrigued by theWolfgroup name (if they read the 'About' page) some in the non-profit world have considered it as 'aggressive'- the negative connotation of 'hungry like wolves' I suppose?
People say they like the website, though I am not sure it is really generating business as much as it is a solid signpost online, part of the brand identity, and a quick introduction to who we are and what we do.
We would like to expand our clientele towards the private sector over time.
Take a look at the website- http://www.theWolfGroup.org. Understand how we came about, the kinds of work we do, the types of clients we work for, and the places we carry out our work. The visual identity has developed as our ideas of the company have evolved and clarified.
The logo should be something thought-provoking- while globes and wolf images might be obvious imagery for our name and work, we want something that is edgy and can add onto our existing collective identity. I wonder what kind of logo René Magritte would design?
We want a logo that will grace our website, business cards and letterhead.
Would like to see have a logo that is comfortable living with and without 'the Wolfgroup' text.
Clearly we appreciate the high-contrast black + white graphics; we leave you the liberty to suggest something else.
We are huge fans of Moo minicards (http://uk.moo.com/en/products/minicards.php).
Have attached some graphics we have used in past + minicards.
As we've never commissioned a logo before, we aren't sure what else to add- ask us questions and we will clarify as best we can!
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

San Pasqual running back Peter Ricardez breaks through the line for a gain in the first quarter against Mission Hills.
SAN MARCOS Cameron Miller had never been in a bigger situation.
With a standing-room-only crowd looking on, the No. 1 ranking in the county and the lead in the Avocado East League on the line, the senior kicker split the uprights with a 22-yard field goal.
The kick gave the No. 2-ranked Eagles a stunning 13-10 upset of No. 1 Mission Hills in two overtimes Friday night.
The loss snapped Mission Hills' eight-game winning streak over San Pasqual.
"There was a lot going through my mind," said Miller, who made a 27-yard field goal in the first overtime.
"I've never had a bigger kick, never been in a bigger situation. There is no way you can simulate that kind of pressure in practice."
Trailing 7-0 after three quarters, San Pasqual (7-0, 2-0) drew even on the second play of the fourth quarter on a one-yard run by Peter Ricardez to cap an eight-play, 73-yard drive.
Both teams had chances to win the game with late field goals near the end of regulation, but Esteban Senteno's 42-yard attempt with 2:19 to play was blocked.
San Pasqual lined up for a 48-yarder on the final play of regulation, but a Kyle Hendrickson attempt sailed wide left.
San Pasqual quarterback Sebastian Tengan threw for a career-high 236 yards.
Asked if he thought that run-first San Pasqual would have to throw for that many yards to beat Mission Hills (6-1, 1-1), Tengan said, "Yes. Because Mission Hills is that good."
JaJuan Thomas caught six of Tengan's passes for 112 yards.
He had a 45-yard reception on the touchdown drive, had a 28-yard catch on fourth-and-18 in the first overtime, and he made a highlight-reel, one-handed catch over two defenders in the second overtime that put the ball on the Mission Hills five.
"That was my best catch all year," Thomas said.
"I'm just trying to soak all this in. "Beating No. 1, being No. 1 means everything. I'm trying to get a grasp on this."
Mission Hills missed an opportunity in the second overtime, fumbling the ball away at the San Pasqual 8 with Jackson Lively recovering.
Mission Hills got off to a roaring start as Troy Warner intercepted Tengan's first pass of the game to set the Grizzlies up at the San Pasqual 37.
Three plays later, Jordan Wynn hit Scott Higgins in the back of the end zone with an 18-yard scoring strike.
Justin Te'i recovered a fumble on San Pasqual's next possession, but an 18-yard penalty killed the Mission Hills drive.
The rest of the half was a succession of punts and a missed opportunity by Mission Hills when Wynn was intercepted by Jack Hofstetter.

Stars must rely on speed vs. big Bellmont lineup
With three coaches switching sidelines Friday night at Bob Worthman Stadium, it would make sense that the normal level of intensity at a Bellmont-South Adams football game would increase a bit.
Not so say both head coaches, Larry Getts, who replaced Rick Burkhalter at Bellmont, and Jason Arnold, who recruited Burkhalter to lead his offense at South Adams.
"With Greg (Meyer), Rick, and Mike (Stimpson) on our sidelines, it adds to the storylines of the game, but it is not the focus of our preparation," stated Arnold.
"It's a football game. Kids aren't going to care about that. Kids are there to play football," said Getts.
"That's what they say about pregame speeches, that the kid remembers that until the first time he gets hit then he's just playing football. Same thing here, any emotion goes out with contact," predicted Getts.
Both teams were successful in the season opener with the Braves overpowering and containing what was thought to be a very improved Woodlan team, and South Adams running roughshod over an outmanned Winchester squad to the tune of 76-12. The Starfires option offense accounted for over 500 yards rushing.
Marcus Rich rushed for 156 yards on nine carries while fullback Zach Morgan covered 101 yards on 12 tries. Cole Farlow picked up 135 on seven tries Rich and Farlow both scored three touchdowns.
"It felt good to win," said Arnold, whose Stars had lost some close games with 3A Eastbrook for the past few years. "It gave us a chance to rest our starters and get some of our younger players in there."
It also failed to give any Bellmont any film on Dustin Wanner's passing attack, though he was fairly successful a year ago in a close game at Berne.
The Braves garnered over 300 yards, with Brad Busse gaining 128 yards and Ryan Mendez bursting out with 127 yards and three touchdowns. The Braves new tight double-wing attack, run by two quarterbacks, did as expected.
Bellmont's defense also shut down the speedy Woodlan backs. "The kids played well on defense. They kept their leverage on the ball and eliminated the big plays. The tackling was pretty good, and that helped out a lot," described the BHS coach.
The key this week for Bellmont is stopping the SA option attack. "Anytime you have the option, you are forcing people to play disciplined football, and you stand a chance of getting big plays. Size, speed and stunting sometimes are eliminated as keys because of the option," noted Getts.
The key for South Adams is handling Bellmont's size. The Bellmont offensive line averages nearly 250, with 6'4", 318-pound Nick Myers leading the way. That group was effective breaking up the Woodlan defense last week. South Adams averages about 180 pounds across its defensive front. Cody Conner, at 5-10, and 194 pounds, is the biggest player on the defensive line. South Adams lists no 200-pound players in its starting lineup.
"The main thing is that the defenses play fundamentally sound and play responsibility," said Arnold.
"Whether its the option, the Wing-T, of this double-wing, each offense has things they do to create problems of mismatches. The defense's job is to eliminate those mismatches," explained the coach.
Somehow, the Stars are going to have to get some penetration to keep Bellmont's offense in check.
The weight advantage for Bellmont "does not affect our game plan," said Arnold. The coach does fell that his Starfires will pass more this week, testing the BHS secondary, which looked good last week.
"We basically beat them up physically, but they were still in the game at the end," said Getts of the contest last week. "That was a huge run by Busse (72 yards). We don't get that, Woodlan has a shot."
"Our backs ran hard. Mendez proved that he could get it done. We knew he had the potential, so we found out a little about him," praised Getts.
The two QB system will continue for Bellmont with Brian Fullenkamp and Jacob Bergman. "The one kid (Fullenkamp) did a nice job passing, the other did a good job managing the clock, and we held the ball for two-and-half quarters," said the coach.
"This is just another football game, and if you don't play well, you get beat," said Getts of the matchup with South Adams.

Pharmas Green Evolution
Big Pharma has gone green, but smaller manufacturers have yet to flip the switch, say industry experts and our own survey.
You'll hear people say that pharma is "going green," but in many ways it's already there. The drug industry has taken great strides in environmental conservation. In Newsweek's recently released Green Rankings, pharma places third among all sectors. J&J places third among all manufacturers with Bristol-Myers Squibb and Allergan in the top 20.
The drug industry is on the cutting edge of green, says Walt Tunnessen, national program manager for the Environmental Protection Agency's Energy Star program. "Corporate social responsibility is extremely important in the pharmaceutical sector," he says. "Big pharma companies are at the forefront of climate initiatives, and yet the sector is a blip on the radar in terms of overall emissions."
We conducted some informal surveys of our online readers (see Boxes), and found some interesting data:
- Three-quarters of respondents said their companies' executives are committed to sustainability and have communicated a clear green strategy to employees.
- More than three-quarters said that all of their company's facilities have green initiatives in place and contribute to idea-sharing across facilities.
- Roughly two-thirds say that employees are appropriately rewarded and recognized for furthering corporate green and sustainable initiatives.
- Roughly two-thirds say that their companies' carbon footprint has shrunk within the past year, and that their facilities have significantly increased investments in energy-efficient and other green technologies.
- More than 50% say that their companies have dedicated corporate energy directors and energy teams
While our numbers are not statistically significant, they do provide a broad picture of how green pharma manufacturers are, and in what areas.
Not all the numbers were glowing:
- Just 40% said that there is accountability for employees and projects that do not meet green or sustainable expectations.
- Only 50% said that their facilities are participating in government/nonprofit initiatives to encourage green manufacturing.
Still, pharma has energized its green efforts, especially in the area of energy management. Most major manufacturers have comprehensive energy management programs, and this year, for the first time, four pharmaceutical plants—two from AstraZeneca and one each from Schering-Plough and Allergan—were given Energy Star ratings for top performance. "Five or six years ago, there was a lot of variability within big pharma companies," says Tunnessen. Not so any more, as energy prices have continued to rise, companies have committed to reducing their carbon footprints, and to reducing operating expenses across the board.
It's an ongoing process. "We're still working to improve methods of tracking and trending energy," says Chaz Calitri, senior director of Pfizer Global Engineering. "Some sites in our network are very sophisticated, but most still use a hybrid of manual and automated systems. Our ultimate goal is to be able to track all of the sites centrally in real time. I am not aware of any companies of our size that do this today; however, we believe that this long-range goal is reasonable and achievable."
And Pfizer, like many large manufacturers, realizes that its green goals are rooted in culture change. "If we can mobilize every Pfizer colleague to be more conscious of energy use (and energy waste), we will realize tremendous energy savings and accompanying business benefits," Calitri says.
What happens at Pfizer and its peers has not necessarily trickled down to small and mid-sized manufacturers, who may lack the wherewithal to systematize their energy practices.
Our informal survey reflects this:
- Roughly 85% of respondents at large companies (those with over 1,000 employees) say that executives have formulated and begun to implement a meaningful, corporatewide green strategy, whereas less than 50% said this is the case at smaller manufacturers (less than 1,000 employees)
- Roughly three-quarters of those at large manufacturers said their company's carbon footprint was smaller than a year ago, while half at smaller manufacturers said the same.
All manufacturers will need to improve. While critics might say that corporate environmental responsibility is "greenwashing," merely for good PR, it's widely held that going green is a business imperative. Reduced energy usage, for instance, means lower operating costs and less exposure to fluctuating energy prices, and regulatory requirements upon manufacturers to reduce carbon footprints will increasingly pressure small and large manufacturers to step up. There is really no choice.
The Stars Are Aligned
Many factors are conspiring to bring energy issues to the fore of drug manufacturing, not the least of which has been elevated energy prices. At Wyeth's 300-acre Pearl River facility, its largest, last year's surge in prices kicked the facility's green initiatives into high gear, says Bill Edsall, the site's energy manager. "Cost was the big driver," he says. (In our survey, 90% said that cost savings were driving their green initiatives.)
The key green metric by which Wyeth gauges itself is CO2 output, and Edsall says Pearl River's emissions have dropped 14% in two years. (The company's goal is to reduce overall emissions by 10% by 2012, though the bar may be raised following the Pfizer-Wyeth merger. "From an energy management perspective, I'm looking forward to the merger," Edsall says. "Pfizer's always been a bit more aggressive than we have.")

Getting Started with Physical Activity for a Healthy Weight
Should I take any precautions before becoming more active?
People with chronic diseases, such as a heart condition, arthritis, diabetes, or high blood pressure, should talk to their doctor about what types and amounts of physical activity are appropriate.
Get Motivated!
If you've not been physically active in a while, you may be wondering how to get started again. Lace up those sneakers and find some motivating ideas here.
Here are some tips to help get you started:
- Look for opportunities to reduce sedentary time and to increase active time. For example, instead of watching TV, try taking a walk after dinner.
- Set aside specific times for physical activity in your schedule to make it part of your daily or weekly routine.
- Start with activities, locations, and times you enjoy. For example, some people might like walking in their neighborhood in the mornings; others might prefer an exercise class at a health club after work.
- Try activities with friends or family members to help with motivation and mutual encouragement.
- Start slowly and work your way up to more physically challenging activities. For many people, walking is a particularly good place to begin.
- When necessary, break up your daily activity goal into smaller amounts of time. For example, you could break the 30-minute a day recommendation into three 10-minute sessions or two 15-minute sessions. Just make sure the shorter sessions are at least 10 minutes long.
For many people, walking offers a great way to become more active. For some ideas on how to begin, see the walking plans at the following sites:
- Weight-control Information Network: Walking — A Step in the Right Direction
- American Heart Association: Walking –Take the First Step
For more information about physical activity if you're overweight or obese, suggestions for initial activities, and safety tips, see Active at Any Size.
Strategies for Overcoming Obstacles to Physical Activity
If you're just getting started, you might face certain obstacles that seem difficult to overcome. A few examples of common obstacles and strategies for overcoming them are shown in the following table.
|Try This
|I just don't have time to be physically active.
|Identify available time slots. Monitor your daily activities for one week. Identify at least three 30-minute time slots you could use for physical activity.
|I don't have anyone to go with me.
|Develop new friendships with physically active people. Join a group, such as the YMCA or a hiking club.
|I'm so tired when I get home from work.
|Schedule physical activity for times in the day or week when you feel energetic.
|I have so much on my "to do" list already, how can I do physical activity too?
|Plan ahead. Make physical activity a regular part of your daily or weekly schedule by writing it on your calendar. Keep the appointment with yourself.
|I'll probably hurt myself if I try to be more physically active.
|Consult with a health professional or educational material to learn how to exercise appropriately considering your age, fitness level, skill level, and health status.
|I'm not coordinated enough to be physically active. I can't learn something new at my age!
|Select activities requiring no new skills, such as walking, climbing stairs, or jogging.
|My job requires me to be on the road, it's impossible for me to exercise.
|Stay in places with swimming pools or exercise facilities. Or find a DVD exercise tape that you enjoy and request a DVD player with your room.
|I have small children and it's impossible to have time to myself for exercise.
|Trade babysitting time with a friend, neighbor, or family member who also has small children. As children get older, family bike rides or walks might be another option.
|Adapted from Physical Activity for Everyone: Making Physical Activity Part of Your Life: Overcoming Barriers to Physical Activity.

Yeo and Fitzgerald never seem to get any credit for their part in the cup win, DB lovers are brag about DB having a cup but never mention Yeo's and Fitzgerald's roles. Interesting enough the team's playoff performances have got worse since Yeo and Fitzgerald have been gone.
Frankly, MT, Yeo and Fitzgerald get very little credit for making the team what it was when it went to the finals in 08, and winning in 09. Yes, MT was gone in 09 but the groundwork was laid.
I'll admit I blasted Yeo when he was here, but hindsight is 20/20. He is showing in MN that he can coach. And MN has the second best PP in the league at home...
