Thank you, Chicago
As many of you know now, yesterday I managed my last game for the Chicago White Sox. This has been a very hard time for me and my family, but I want to thank the great fans of the city of Chicago for the support they have shown me and my family during my 22 years with the organization. As I said in my press conference, Chicago will always be my home. It's hard to say what the future holds for my family and I, but one thing is for sure — I can't wait to start a new chapter of my life. I also want to quickly thank my great coaching staff and players, who were always at the park working hard everyday.
While this is a sad time, I know there are better days awaiting me in the future! Thank you again for your support during my time here. I will always have love for my people in Chi-Town!

My heart is broken Ozzie, you were my favorite player as a kid, and you brought a championship to this city. Thank you, for all you did. You made Sox baseball exciting and fun. God bless you on your next chapter man.
A fan-
Thank you Ozzie, for the 2005 Trophy as World Champions and for all you did for the organization and for the fans.
GIVE THEM MOTHERFUCKIN HELL IN FLORIDA OZZIE!…I STILL BO-LEAVE! and you will be missed!
Thanks for your time in chicago ozzie…i am a native southsider of the city having lived by midway airport my whole life…your outspoken personality fit in perfectly with our tough fanbase…you were a good manager faced with a tough set of circumstances this year. I by no means want to call out players, but if a certain couple of highly paid players played to their potential this year then we would be getting ready for the playoffs and have u in chicago another ten years…thanks for bringing a championship to the southside…for that we are forever grateful. Best of luck
Thank you ozzie for being you and not holding anything back. I will truly miss u
Ozzie, Thank you for time as manager of the White Sox and bringing home a World Series Title. I wish you good luck to your next chapter in your life unless you are managing another AL team. Always loved your arguments with Joe West.
Knew this day would inevitably come and I actually thought the break up would have been ugly giving how passionate you are towards baseball and the White Sox. I hope the best for you and thanks for the great memories.
Thanks for everything Ozzie. Chicago's loss is Venezuela's gain.
i'm gonna miss Ozzie
Thank you Ozzie for leading the White Sox to a World Series you have been a great part of the #1 team in Chicago & will always have White Sox blood running through yr veins! My family and I wish you and yr family nothing but the best!! You will definately be missed but yr skills and coaching will never be forgotten! Thank you.
We love ya, Ozzie! If you get the chance to come back some years in the future, please take it! We'll always miss you!
I'm going to miss you, Ozzie! Thank you for your hard work, your passion, your honesty and your heart. Good luck in the future. You will always be part of my White Sox! Go get 'em! Much love
Thank you Ozzie Guillen for all these years be the manger of the Whitesox and bringing home champship in 05. I was there this past Sat night when the Sox's beat KC 6-3 well see to me thats last game i'll see you in sox jersey. Good luck what ever u end up in different team U always be missed From a die hard whitesox fan 😦
EXTREMELY sad/mad to see you go Oz. Love you buddy. NEVER CHANGE!
Sigue adelante ozzie, mas titulos te esperan, chicago siempre estara alli y como dice Serrat, caminante no hay camino, se hace camino al andar!! Go ozzie! Epa pa'donde vayas, llevate a vizquel que esta viejito chamo! Jajaja! Dios te bendiga a ti y tu familia!
It has been a pleasure and a privilege to have you here.
So what if most Chicagoans disagree? I try not to concern myself with the opinions of idiots; too many pointless arguments in which I repeat that with no Ozzie there's no 2005 World Series Championship and they tell me that that was then, blah, blah, etc…. I could go on, but this is your webpage and you know this crap already, so I'll stop.
I just want to say thanks for the all the memories. Some of them are some of my all-time favorite ones and they're much appreciated. You will be sorely missed by the White Sox and their fans. If they don't already, they some day will. Personally, I doubt I will ever care more about a manager. Of anything.
Good Luck to you and your family, I wish you nothing but the best and then some.
Bye Ozzie.
(And yes, I did just call most Chicagoans 'idiots' back there, I meant to.)
I can't believe you're leaving. I've watched you for most of my adult life and will miss seeing you fighting for our boys in black. Good luck to you! You will be missed.
Thanks for the memories, and best of luck in Florida!!!!!!!! 🙂
Thank you for all you did for the White Sox. You gave us White Sox fans one of the best seasons ever, 2005! We will be following the Marlins now!!!
Ozzie- you will be missed——you have the passion for the game—you helped give the Sox the fire they needed to win the World Series—–I will never forget the thrill of the Parade in Chicago- the Lions at the Art Institute with the Sox hats———–Thankyou for all you have given Chicago————
All the bests shortstops are named Ozzie. And all the best managers too. You were my favorite player when you started playing for the White Sox and you were the perfect fit when you came back as manager. The ChiSox need a manager with personality and you have it in spades. It's too bad you had to go — I think the problems with the Sox aren't something that can be switched by replacing the field manager, but so it goes. Maybe you can save baseball in Miami and give those fans a reason to come to the game.
Buenos suerte y prosperidad,
== todd
Thank you for all you did Ozzie!! You will certainly be missed!
Thanks Oz!
You will be greatly missed. Thanks for all you've done for White Sox fans over your years as a great player and manager.
Ozzie……. You've been the best and I'm going to miss you! Thanks for eight great years, you brought the spark back. No matter where you end up, I'll always be a fan. I wish you the best, I know my son will miss playing ball with your son if your family moves away.
Thank you, Ozzie, for some great memories. What you and the guys did in 2005 will never be forgotten!
Thanks ozzie for all the great memories and keep telling it like it is. Good luck !
Thank you Ozzie!!!!!
Ozzie. You've got a great blog. I love following it.
Ozzie you will be missed! Love and blessing to you and your family.
Ozzie, thank you for all your years as a player and for these last eight, wonderful, fun years as manager. You've made White Sox baseball so much fun and, no matter who they get as manager, it won't be the same without you. You will be so missed! Best of luck to you in your future.
Chicago was very lucky to have you and we loved every minute of it! We will miss you, but with you all the best in anything you do!
La verdad que aunque se rumoraba y se notaba que pasaría algo, sorprende y nos aflije el que ya no estáras como manager de los Medias blancas el proximo año, sinembargo, pienso que ya era hora de salir de Chicago y tomar nuevos aires y seguir demostrando toda la sabiduria que has impartido en los 9 años con los Medias Blancas. Te deseo lo mejor del mundo y seguro que sabrás inyectar todo esa energía que tienes y sobre todo, el respeto que les profesas a todos los jugadores y tecnicos que trabajan contigo. Gracias por poner el nombre de Venezuela en alto, siempre te lo agradeceremos. Saludos de un Venezolano y Guairista por siempre.
Verga man te vas a ver extraño con otro uniforme distinto al de Chicago White Sox. Es gratificante ver lo que hiciste y dedicaste en el equipo y de mi parte siempre te apoyaré con el 13 de Chicago y de La Guaira.
I really don't know what to do with this. I hoped it was a bad dream. How do I continue to love this team the way I do when this is sooo VERY WRONG!! I will miss Ozzie and wish him nothing but the best always. As for Kenny Williams, not so much.
Good Luck Ozzie! Wish you all the best
You are leaving a big void in Chicago White Sox future, but the Marlins are going to be the lucky ones. We will miss your fire and fun in Chicago.Best of luck to you and your family in Florida.
Chicagos loss..Floridas gain. Im heartbroken. Thanks for everything. Please come back.
I grew up watching you play with my grandfather and my dad by my side….my kids have grown up watching you manage….in our home you always have been and always will be "Our Ozzie". I was pregnant with my 3rd child when we won the series and she even got upset this morning when I told all of the kids you were leaving. Although we will miss you like crazy we wish you and your family nothing but the best. Real baseball fans appreciate everything you've done and know that you truly love this team and this town and the feeling is mutual.
Ozzie, Thank you for bringing so much fun and love to the White Sox over the past 8 years. When I was a little girl, you were my favorite White Sox player, and I cannot tell you how excited I was when you landed the job for us 8 years ago. My emotions definitely got the best of me last night when I heard the news because I know how much you love this team and would do anything for us to win. You are going to be deeply missed for many seasons to come, and I can only thank you for giving us a World Series championship and so many other great memories. Love you Ozzie!
thank you for all your years here! we will greatly miss you!! good luck to you and your family in miami! come back and visit 🙂
You went out with class when you had every right not to. You'll never regret that. Hope to see you continuing to beat the Cubs.
Bienvenido a Miami! Huesito e Pollo!!!!
Thank you, Ozzie – we White Sox fans will miss you and always love you! Good luck with whatever you take on next and remember that that the fans were always behind you. Sorry that the front office couldn't work things out so you could stay here.
Thank you Ozzie for everything you have done as a player and manager for the Sox. Your #13 should be retired. Buena suerte en Miami!
Welcome back to Miami Ozzie! We wanted you to succeed Jack… The first time! But we are happy to have you here now.
Thanks for the memories and magic of 2005! You will be missed! This is Chicago's loss and Miami's gain! In Ozzie We Trust!
Bitsey Horton, Los Angeles CA
Longtime White Sox Fan
pa' encima!!!! orgullosa de ti ozzi!!!! soy seguidora de los medias blancas solo por ti… visite la ciudad para ver un juego tuyo como manager!!! estoy sumamente triste …. existos en tu nueva etapa…. tiburones x siempre
Thank you!
Thank you Ozzy for your great job and world series trophy in 2005 but honestly I think its time for change in White Sox. Since 2008 every season was worst and worst and i realized that we need someone new with fresh ideas and new vision. I have respect and i am going to keep good memories but i support decision to not extend the contract with You. Now is time for change. Looking forward for new manager and fresh start in next season.
Best regards
You were the manager of a White Sox World Series championship team, and those haven't come around very often. That is something we will never forget. Good luck!
Its a sad, sad day for White Sox nation! First off, thank you Ozzie for 8 great years of service, especially '05,' no one can ever take that away- especially that prick Kenny Williams. I just hope that it doesnt take take as long as it did the Cubs to fire Henry, to fire Williams & send his bum ass back to Detroit. You were my favorite player growing up and still are and watching you manage the White Sox was a pleasure. The best of luck to you and your family & give'em hell in Miami. íQue Dios te Bendiga!
Best of luck Ozzie. You will always be my favorite White Sox player and manager of all time! Hope to see you in south Florida! Good luck fishing too!
Welcome To Miami Ozzie. Glad to see you coming to take the Marlins and straighten the team out. I admired you as a player but most definatly as a manager for the Chicago White Sox. What is a coincidence is a couple of weeks ago, we were deiscussing the marlins future and I stated, The Marlins need someone like Ozzie to stir things up and make this team play ball. When I heard this, I was estatic. So Ozzie welcome to Florida and do your thing.
Ozzie, You are one of a kind & wore your heart on your sleeve – part of the reason why we Southsiders love you so much. Its a shame that Kenny is an asshole & can't see beyond looking at himself in the mirror. He might have put the team together, but YOU got them where they needed to go. All the Best in Miami – I know you will be successful there. Thanks for everything you have done for the team & the city over the years. You always have a home in Chicago.
Ozzie thanks for being the constant light and fire on the Southside of a Northside loser driven city. You represented us well and with the heart that comes from the steel workers, police and firefighters of the Southside. The grinders. Coaches coach and players play, your players didn't play. The only problem you had was that you were a players coach, and you fell in love with too many of your players, and they took advantage of that. Shame on the leftovers that are going to show up next year on our bench. Good luck in Florida I wish you and your family well.
Ozzie,Best of Luck with the Fish!Hate to see you leave,but under the current regime,your unfortunately better off!!remember thou,Billy Martin,came back & forth to his beloved Yankee I believe 4 TIMES!who knows what the future holds for all of us?!Godbless
Ozzie…it kills me that you are gone, you are one cool dude and we loved you as our manager. What kills me is that other than 2005 you were never given "your" type of team that fits what you like to do best. Playing small ball, great pitching, speed and fundementally sound. I cant wait to see what you do with the talent you have with the Marlins. Good luck and please know you will have a lot of Sox fans who now have a new favorite National League tems!!
You will be missed Ozzie, I wish lame ass Kenny was gone and you were still coaching my beloved White Sox!!
Go Marlins!!!
Ozzie, I was excited to watch you as a player (2nd favorite behind Harold Baines)…more excited as a manager…thanks for all the great years you've brought to Chicago…they WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN :)…good luck to u.
Que pena Ozzie, te extrañaremos un chingon! 🙂 Gracias por tu pasion y sudor al juego y a la comunidad de esta linda ciudad que siempre estara orgullosa de ti. Te deseo lo mejor con todo corazon y mucho exito mas. Que Diosito lo bendiga a usted y a su familia.
Sox girl for life
Ozzie – Wish I could have told you in person – was going to try at the Wed game – but thanks for the '05 World Series. That season helped me thru some very difficult health issues. I last talked to you and your wife at Nordstrom's after your last Sox game as a player. No bouquet of flowers for your wife this time only a bunch of best wishes! God be with all of you!
Ozzie- Chicago won't be the same without your humor and fight. I will miss you and your refreshing honesty. Best wishes to you and your family as you start the next "book". I know you will be successful wherever you go and whatever you do. Have fun on that boat. Thank you for what you did for the White Sox fans – we will forever get to point to that Championship Banner when the fans who wear Blue start to get mouthy.
thanks for bringing the Sox a world series title after such a long drought Ozzie. best of luck to you in Florida next year.
Ozzie you were one of my heros when the Sox won the pennant in 1983, when I was 11 years old, and you are still one of my heros today…at age 39. Thanks for bringing the Championship to the southside, it took a man of great passion to achieve that. I will never forget you and the stories about your wife and her purses and how you think she is hot. You always bring a smile to my face. And by the way..although I am married…YOU ARE HOT! Love you Ozzie.
ozzie we love you and will never forget you here in chicago. this was tough on all of us, i look forward to following your new career with the marlins and wish you the best of luck. you will always be a white sox.
love, melissa
Thank you, Ozzie; you'll be missed. Sadly, since Williams seems firmly entrenched, you're probably better off with the Marlins gig…
Los Medias Blancas cometieron un garndisimo error, debieron haber salido es del gerente general Williams. Tu eres un triunfador, pana, y eso con los anos se pone es mejor. Mas experiencia, mas roce, mas fanaticos que te quieren, mas jugadores que te admiran, en Miami seras un exito! Desde tu Novato del Ano (1985) sigo tu carrera, la cual esta muy lejos de terminar. Pa'lante brother, a cuidar de la familia, el beisbol es 51% negocio y 49% lo que quieras llamarlo. Llevate a Omar!!!
thanks ozzie. you will be greatly missed and never forgotten, i hope the white sox honor you by retiring your number soon. it wont be the same next season and it will be hard to get used to not hearing or seeing you. you bring a great energy to the team and i am sure you will do the same in miami. i live and die with the white sox and i now will also pay attention to the marlins, good luck to you and your family on this new chapter of life. make your chicago fans proud…..
Thanx for the 13 years as a player for the Palehose and the 8 years as a manager, trying to teach these kids what you brought us as a player. I was very fortunate to be able to enjoy you as a player and a manager and I wish you the best of luck in your new home. Chi will miss you !
Thanks for making White Sox baseball so fun and exciting Ozzie! Best of luck to you.
Thanks for bringing back the sox from the dead,you will be truly missed it will not be the same for the Sox or us fans, it will be boring not having you as Sox Manager. GOOD LUCK!
John from Plainfield IL

Discover the world's only modular,
cloud-managed WiFi system.
Open Mesh makes it easy to deploy professional, secure wireless networks at a fraction of the time and cost of traditional networks.
Modular by design.
Open Mesh access points and enclosures are designed to work seamlessly together. Just choose the access point that is optimized for your wireless demands—range, speed, or lowest cost—then choose the enclosure that best fits your environment. Transform any access point into a traditional ceiling mount, a sleek outdoor unit, or an Ethernet wall-mount with pass-through ports. Swap, upgrade, move and replace anytime.
Cloud managed.
What used to live in dedicated on-site servers can now be managed centrally through the cloud and the free CloudTrax web and mobile apps. Whether you are deploying a single access point or thousands across multiple sites, CloudTrax is powerful enough to meet the demands of IT professionals while easy enough for someone with little network experience. And the price? It's free: every piece of Open Mesh hardware includes a perpetual CloudTrax license.
Mesh enabled.
Every Open Mesh access point is automatically mesh enabled. That means you can install units like traditional access points, hardwired to the Internet, and add additional units that only require power wherever you need to extend coverage or fill holes. All access points work together to form a self-organizing, self-healing wireless network with seamless roaming between devices. Extend your network to the furthest reaches of your property cable-free. Dead spots don't stand a chance.
Revolutionary low price.
Open Mesh hardware is a fraction of the cost of other low-cost, cloud-managed mesh wireless solutions. With hardware designed from the ground up to fit even the tightest budget, along with a cloud controller that's completely free, Open Mesh is the obvious choice for cost-sensitive deployments. But don't let the low price fool you: Open Mesh meets or exceeds the performance of other solutions costing ten times more. With access points starting at just $55, Open Mesh proves how easy and affordable cloud-managed wireless networking can be.
Your logo, not ours.
Open Mesh is ideal for systems integrators, resellers and IT consultants because we don't put any logos on our boxes or access points. Even our cloud controller contains no links or references back to Open Mesh. With no competing messages, your brand is the star of the show.
Always a perfect fit.
Open Mesh makes it easy to get wireless coverage exactly where you need it. With a series of easy to use enclosures, you can put your access points on a wall, a ceiling, a pole, a roof, a tree…well, you get the idea. Open Mesh single band enclosures are designed specifically for the tiny, powerful OM Series access points and blend in seamlessly in any office, hotel, warehouse or apartment block. You see the wireless network; not the access point.
Flexible power options.
Open Mesh OM Series access points support 12-24v passive PoE so the same cable that feeds your access point data can also provide power. With the use of a single-port, an eight-port, or a twelve-port rackmount passive PoE injector, you can power your access points up to 350 feet away. Need to use a PoE switch? There's a model for that too. Open Mesh also provides a full range of power supplies that work in virtually every country around the world. Powering your network has never been easier.
Note: The OM2P model is not 802.3af PoE compatible. The OM2P-HS is.
Powered by CloudTrax.
Hardware is only half the story. With Open Mesh's free cloud controller, CloudTrax, you can filter and prioritize traffic, set up multiple SSIDs, brand your own captive portal, charge for access and much more. All from your laptop, tablet or smartphone.

Prevention and Other Aspects of Management
Several factors seem to exacerbate pemphigus, including dental work, sun exposure, X-rays and trauma
- Oral issues:
- Prophylactic administration of 20mg per day of prednisone prior to dental work has been suggested (o).
- For oral pemphigus, measures such as soft diets and soft toothbrushes help minimize local trauma. Topical analgesics or anesthetics are useful in alleviating oral pain.
- Oral hygiene is crucial. Otherwise PV may be complicated by dental decay; toothbrushing should be encouraged and antiseptic mouthwashes may be used, such as chlorhexidine gluconate 0.2% or 1:4 hydrogen peroxide solutions.
- Patients are also susceptible to oral candidiasis, which should be treated.
- Pemphigus can involve the esophagus, and nasal cavity leading to erosive esophagitis and occasionally significant bleeding.
- Skin issues:
- Minimize sun exposure, which can cause disease to flare. Encourage the use of sunscreens and protective clothing.
- As non-healing lesions may be secondarily infected with bacteria, fungi, herpes, or wart viruses, have patients report any signs of skin or blister infection, herpetic lesions.
Psychosocial Issues
There is a paucity of knowledge about psychosocial issues in bullous conditions because of limited research and methodological problems in others. However, dermatologic conditions are commonly associated with psychiatric sequellae, and their course of may be significantly influenced by stress, emotional disturbances, or psychiatric disorder (ww).
Information about psychosocial issues from other chronic complex conditions can safely be applied to the bullous conditions. In general, patients who face the challenge of chronic, unpredictable, and potentially embarrassing conditions which have a relapsing and remitting course suffer under a recurrent and persistent psychosocial burden. For example, patients with chronic heart failure have a high prevalence of anxiety and depression (about 40%), and moreover, the occurrence of depression and social isolation predicted mortality independent of demographic and clinical status (xx). Further, in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), data exists to show that interventions which reduce depressive symptoms affect COPD outcomes, and may improve survival, quality of life, self-management behavior and reduced health care utilization. (yy)
In addition, complex treatment with many medications taken several times a day, many of which have side effects that can range from weight gain and acne to more severe effects such as bone disease, high blood pressure, cataracts, diabetes, pancreatitis, suppression of the immune system, and increased cancer risk adds an additional set of concerns.
Although many of the interventions for managing such psychosocial conditions are nonspecific (and intuitive) their potential effect should not be underestimated. Interventions can simply involve empathic listening and inquiry, education of the patient about the condition and its characteristics, challenging distorted or overly helpless thoughts and self-conceptions, and facilitating social contact and functioning. Patients with chronic complex conditions rate the following psychosocial aspects as highly important (zz):
- Good communication with their doctor.
- Understanding their medication.
- Dealing effectively with pain.
- Understanding the effects of their condition on their energy, their future, and their work.
In one small study of pemphigus vulgaris, SF-36 (scores showed a decrease of mean scores in all SF-36 dimensions, except for physical pain and alteration in general status of health. The greatest alteration concerned the impact on physical and emotional status (p<0.00001) and the smallest alteration concerned the perception of general health (p=0.02). The factors influencing this impact were: profession, face involvement and extent of lesions (aaa).
Areas of Emphasis
Specific areas of emphasis are:
- Stress and Coping: Stressful life events can be associated with symptom exacerbation. Problem-solving coping strategies and social support can lower psychological distress and improve quality of life.
- Physical and Psychosocial Functioning: Patients with chronic conditions report lower quality of life than the general population. Everyday tasks such as work, travel, meetings and chores take on an additional layer of difficulty.
- Body Image and Self-Esteem: Concerns about appearance can impact a patients sense of self esteem and capacity for enjoyment and achievement, and restrict patient's social activities.
- Needs of Caregivers: Caregiving is not always a choice, and dependency can be exaggerated in some areas where limited availability of social and community services exist. The caregiver often assumes responsibility for making weighty decisions about short-term care following a crisis, long-term care, and end-of-life care.
- Family Counseling: Early recognition of issues and support for the patient and their families can be important.
- Relationship Development: Social support is an important aspect of coping with chronic illness and intimacy, feeling connected to others who share similar experiences, communicating and networking with others, and having access to family, friends, and health care providers who can care for emotional and physical needs (bbb).
- Lifestyle Changes: Assessing a person's role in the family, workplace, and among friends helps to establish a baseline by which to measure future changes in role. For example, people who are accustomed to a leadership role can have more difficulty coping with a disease affects them, and this can force people out of the workplace and leisure activities, causing social isolation.
- Age Related Issues: Each age group brings certain social stresses that should be considered in light of the patient's condition. For example, adolescents may have significant image concerns, versus an elderly patient's concern about isolation and anxiety.
Psychosocial Interventions
General psychosocial interventions in the setting of chronic illness include the following aspects. Achieving each of these interconnected concepts requires creativity, patience and repetition.
- Recognition of Depression and Anxiety: Both depression and anxiety are common in chronic conditions and are under reported and under diagnosed. Depression is one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, and is associated with detrimental effects on role and physical function even when controlling for comorbid medical conditions (ccc).
- Older adults with depression report greater functional impairment than those without depression, and this impairment persists over time. Encouraging openness about mood disorders and communication to others including health care providers is an important intervention.
- Goal Setting: Provide attainable, short-term goals that step the patient towards a sense of self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-care.
- Condition Education: Learning to take an active role in one's own healthcare (or for a caregiver) by better understanding the condition, its course and its treatment gives patients a strong sense of confidence and control, and helps facilitate dialog with their health care team. Understanding that others have had similar problems similarly enables patients to address these issues for themselves.
- Community Resources: These should be evaluated for both the patient and caregiver (if any).

Checking In On… the Sun Belt ConferencePosted by dnspewak on January 28th, 2012
Danny Spewak is the RTC correspondent for Sun Belt Conference. You can find him Twitter @dspewak.
Reader's Take
The Week That Was
- Now off to the best start in program history, Middle Tennessee has its sights set on more than just a Sun Belt East Division title. Instead, the Blue Raiders have positioned themselves for an NCAA Tournament at-large bid, especially if they can win at Vanderbilt in an out-of-conference tilt this weekend. At 20-2, MTSU has not lost in league play yet, and it leads preseason favorite Florida Atlantic by four games in the win column. Joe Lunardi from the vaunted four-letter network has the Blue Raiders in the NCAAs as a #12 seed, so they may actually have a little breathing room if they fail to win the SBC tourney. Of course, this is all moot if they stumble down the stretch in conference play.
- A lot of teams have beaten Lousiana-Monroe this season — 19, to be exact. But during the Warhawks woeful 2-19 season, no team has come close to what Troy did to them last weekend. The Trojans, never shy to jack up three-pointers under coach Don Maestri, tied an NCAA record by making 11 straight three-pointers in a 91-63 victory. Overall, Troy made 15 threes, and that streak of 11 threes ties marks set by Niagara and Eastern Kentucky in 1997. The statistics get better and better, too. Troy made almost as many threes (15) as twos (15), and Justin Wright tied his career-high with four made treys. And as for the Warhawks? They made a measly six three-pointers.
Power Rankings
- Middle Tennessee (20-2, 9-0): Nothing has changed since our last update two weeks ago. The Blue Raiders, who entered the season as a questionable pick in the East because of offensive concerns, are far and away the best team in the Sun Belt Conference. It's to the point where Middle Tennessee can no longer judge itself purely by the wins it amasses. Rather, it looks as though this team could beat just about anybody when March rolls around. That's because the Blue Raiders hound opponents on the defensive end and have the size of a major-conference squad. Bruce Massey has also played terrific basketball on both ends of the floor, as he's been a catalyst for this team's 20-2 start.
- Florida Atlantic (9-12, 5-3): With a few close victories over rival FIU and Western Kentucky, the Owls are back on track. Unlike North Texas last season, which fell from preseason consensus favorite to middle-0f-the-pack, FAU actually has a chance to turn this thing around in 2011-12. It's not dead yet, but it may need to run the table from here on out to have any chance of catching Middle Tennessee. Point guard Ray Taylor still doesn't look like the Player of the Year candidate he should be, but he's starting to play better after a tough start to the season. If he gets his game going, this team could make a late push. Read the rest of this entry »

Continuing to play catch up…..here's the May hunt!
Newbury Comics
Tyketto – Dig In Deep (2012) – $13
Soulfly – Enslaved (2012) – $12
Huntress – Spell Eater (2012) – $15
Moonspell – Alpha Noir/Omega White (Ltd. Ed.) (2012) – $20
Angel Witch – As Above So Below (2012) – $10
Sepultura – Roots (1996) – $9 used
Soulfly – s/t (1998) – $7 used
Slash – Apocalyptic Love (Deluxe Edition) (2012) – $17
Sonata Arctica – Stones Grow Her Name (Deluxe Edition) (2012) – $10
Unisonic – s/t (2012) – $10
Sabaton – Carolus Rex (2012) – $10
Just a few quick trips this month to the record store to grab new releases at sale prices. I already had the new Tyketto album from Frontiers promo department and I did download it but I support the artists & labels, as well as my collection, so I picked it up at a great price. My second trip was to buy the new Huntress and Moonspell CDs but I also grabbed the new Soulfly while I was there. I never got into Soulfly back in 1998 but I figured now was the time since I've heard a lot of Soulfly as of late. The new Moonspell I grabbed was the double disc limited edition with a full bonus album titled OMEGA WHITE but the only problem I had was that I wanted the new Angel Witch album but there were none in stock. There were about 6 copies sitting around for a few weeks at a $10 sale price but all of a sudden they were all gone! I decided to take a 25 minute ride from North Attleboro to the Warwick location to find the Angel Witch CD and I was successful as they had a single copy left and while I was there I grabbed Sepultura's ROOTS and Soulfly's debut used. The last trip to the record shop was to get more new releases: the new Sabaton, Sonata Arctica and Unisonic were all $10 but I splurged on the new Slash record limited edition that included a bonus DVD, bonus tracks and a coupon for a free t-shirt. Like I said….a quick month.
Anvil – Speed of Sound (1998) – $11 used
Only one Ebay purchase this month…..Anvil's SPEED OF SOUND. With all the reissues of Anvil's back catalog lately, I've been tracking down the original releases and grabbing them as the prices level out. This CD was $8 + $3 shipping and it was used but in mint condition.
Total = $144
Total (year) = $1012
Average Price (per item) = $8.72
Total CDs (year) = 111
Total DVDs (year) = 4
Total Blu-Rays (year) = 1

The agency offers services such as creating social content and developing online communities to clients including Heineken, Adidas and Heinz, and will now be able to promote this work through paid ads.
Initially, Gilbert will lead a five-strong team that will buy media across social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Tumblr and Chinese microblogging service Sina Weibo.
Gilbert joined We Are Social last year and has been building the proposition in terms of both staff and speaking to potential clients, and We Are Social is expected to announce its first paid media clients soon.
The agency plans to grow the division until it becomes a key offering for its eight offices around the world. The team will strive to drive effectiveness using micro-segmentation and optimisation techniques.
At TBG Digital for seven years, Gilbert held various roles including UK sales director between November 2011 and October 2012 as well as head of client services, client director and planning director.
Robin Grant, global managing director of We Are Social, said: "Today's social environment demands that media planning be integrated into brands' social media strategies and for media buying to operate in real-time and in synergy with always-on social content creation and community management.
"Traditional media agencies, hampered by legacy structures, just aren't geared up to take this approach. We've designed We Are Social's new paid media offering from the bottom up to solve this problem for brands. With David's leadership, we're confident that this offering will change the game for our clients."

Ignore Parn, he doesn't like slapstick humor. The scene was fairly funny.
For gameplay mechanics and such, he's a very astute observer. For comedy, he left his funnybone in the small dark recesses of his soul. The man didn't enjoy Kung Pow:Enter the Fist. How can I trust his sense of humor???
Now now, girls. I'm sure Parn loves both of you JUSSSST as much as the other.
i smiled at that part but i didn't have even slightest notion of a chuckle.
Gotta say, the more I play Ni no Kuni the less I like it. Just got the boat and the third party member and I'm really getting tired of melee characters missing because something is in their way and they won't properly rearrange to engage the enemy. Also, the AI on your other party members is flat out stupid and gets me killed more than anything else. Either they use too much MP or nothing, and the lack of a solid middle ground is baffling.
But what the hell was Level 5 thinking? The entire post-game quest series is the literal rehash of everyboss in the game, recolored. It was horrible. I get that they wanted to add extra content, but that's not even new content.

4790 W. 16th Street, Indianapolis, IN 46222
(800) 822-4639 (317) 492-6700 Mon-Fri, 9a.m.-5p.m. ET
Nov 27, 2019
November 22, 2017 | By Paul Kelly, Indianapolis Motor Speedway
Thanksgiving is a time for family, for introspection about the route of our lives since last November and for counting blessings.
It's no different for fans of racing and of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. So here are 10 things every IMS fan can be thankful for this Thanksgiving.
Doug Boles: The president of every racetrack in America appreciates motor racing and its fans. But IMS President Doug Boles takes that fever to an unprecedented level. This guy loves, lives and breathes IMS and its events. He's a tireless champion for everything that IMS brings to the city of Indianapolis, Central Indiana and the world. He always puts the fan first in his mind because he IS one of you – a fan first, track executive second. He'll talk with the Alley Cats and Fortune 500 executives in the same stride, then often leaning down to pick up a piece of litter on the property and dispose of it in the trash can a few seconds later. The man is a marvel, a dynamo whose soul is embossed with the IMS Wing and Wheel logo. Anyone who has met Doug or seen his sincere passion for IMS and its fans knows this and should be thankful for him.
Lights at the Brickyard: Remember the days when IMS was open for the Month of May and largely dormant for the other 11 months of the year? That feels like the Dark Ages now. IMS is a vibrant, busy place with spectator events from May through December, starting with the Indianapolis 500 presented by PennGrade Motor Oil in May and ending with Lights at the Brickyard in November and December. Lights at the Brickyard is unique as the only major event on the IMS schedule that doesn't revolve around competition. It's a wonderful way to see the Speedway in a different light – pun intended! – and create new memories with your family at the Racing Capital of the World.
IMS Museum: The Indianapolis Motor Speedway Museum has been a fixture in the Speedway's infield since the current building opened in 1976. Thousands of fans and visitors stream through its doors every year, admiring the machinery and memories of races dating all the way back to the inaugural Indianapolis 500 in 1911. If you haven't stopped by the Museum or never have visited (gasp!), do yourself a favor and stop in. There are plans for special displays in 2018, such as the magnificent A.J. Foyt exhibit in 2017, and you can stand next to some of the most iconic cars in racing history. You also can get a close-up look at the most majestic trophy in sports, the Borg-Warner Trophy. Plus an appreciation of a sport's past only enhances your enjoyment of its present.
Jimmie Johnson: NASCAR is undergoing a generational shift, with iconic stars Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Matt Kenseth, Carl Edwards and Danica Patrick gliding into retirement over the last three seasons. The Cup Series still is in good hands for the future with young talent such as Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Erik Jones, 2017 Lilly Diabetes 250 winner William Byron and 30-something superstars like Kyle Busch. But NASCAR fans should be grateful that the driver of the No. 48 Chevrolet, Jimmie Johnson, is still racing in the Cup Series. Johnson is one of the greatest drivers in stock car racing history, with 83 victories and seven Cup championships. He is a master of IMS, with four Big Machine Brickyard 400 victories. He's also a terrific, classy ambassador for NASCAR and motorsports and one of the most generous, genuine human beings you'll find in any walk of life. Appreciate him as one of the Mount Rushmore drivers of the sport, as he won't be around forever.
Donald Davidson: Donald Davidson is the only full-time historian for a racetrack on Earth. It's a special job for a special guy. Almost every IMS fan knows Donald's story. He saved for years to attend the Indianapolis 500 in 1964 from his native England and wowed drivers, fans and media with his incredible knowledge of the race and its history. He returned to Indiana in 1965 and has been here ever since, entertaining and informing millions of fans with his otherworldly memory that can recite the starting fields of every Indianapolis 500, along with anecdotes about every driver and many of the cars. His talks around the Midwest in the spring are a staple of the pre-race promotion for the "500," and his "The Talk of Gasoline Alley" radio show is a decades-long fixture of the Month of May in Indianapolis. But despite his incredible gift of memory and passion for IMS, here's why Donald Davidson is a true treasure: He's one of the nicest human beings you'll ever meet. He makes time for everyone and is a gracious gentleman, one of the finest ambassadors for IMS and the sport of auto racing who has walked this planet.
Helio Castroneves: Helio Castroneves' career as a full-time Verizon IndyCar Series driver ended after the 2017 season, but let's be thankful he will continue to race with Team Penske in the Indianapolis 500 in May 2018 and onward. Helio has been an ultra-competitive staple of "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" – he won his first two starts, in 2001 and 2002 – for so long that it's hard to imagine the race without him. His charge toward leader Takuma Sato fell short by an agonizing .2011 of a second last May, but it showed he still has the speed and desire in his early 40s to become just the fourth driver to win the Indianapolis 500 four times. Don't count out Helio for that fourth win – ever. His driving style is made for IMS, and the experience gained over 17 starts in the race will make him a prime contender for victory every time he's in the field of 33.
Yoshi Muroya: There's no doubt that Takuma Sato and Kasey Kahne both put together sterling drives to win the 101st Indianapolis 500 and Big Machine Brickyard 400, respectively, in 2017. But for my money, the clutch performance of this season was turned in by Japanese pilot Yoshihide Muroya in the Red Bull Air Race. Muroya needed to produce a run for the ages in the final round to win the exciting race in October. He did just that, flying to a track-record run that earned him the event victory and the Red Bull Air Race World Championship in one of the most breathtaking performances in the last decade at IMS. Muroya is a wonderful ambassador for the sport of aerobatic plane racing, a dignified, polite gentleman quick with a smile and even quicker in the cockpit of a Zivko Edge 540 airplane.
Bro-mance: 2017 Indianapolis 500 winner Takuma Sato and Red Bull Air Race World Champion Yoshihide Muroya both are racing celebrities in their native Japan, but they never had met each other before the Red Bull Air Race event in mid-October at IMS. Fast-forward two days after their initial meeting at that event, and you would have thought they were buddies since childhood. The bond between two racers from the same country was instant, the ebullient Sato meshing with the quieter Muroya over shared secrets of speed, one on asphalt and one in the air. It was uplifting to see Sato cheer for Muroya from the hangar area with the vigor of an SEC football fan on a Saturday afternoon. It was even more heartwarming to see Sato celebrate Muroya's dramatic World Championship victory in the hangars, on the Yard of Bricks and even by asking Yoshi a question during the post-race press conference!
Jim Cornelison: Replacing the legendary Jim Nabors as the singer of "Back Home Again in Indiana" during Indianapolis 500 pre-race ceremonies is a tall task. Nabors' stirring rendition of the unofficial national anthem of Hoosiers everywhere was as much of a part of the race's storied traditions for decades as the command to start engines and the balloon launch. No one quite knew what to expect when Chicago Blackhawks national anthem singer Cornelison took over the job last May. But when I and fellow IMS employees heard the opening notes of Cornelison's soundcheck rendition of the "Star-Spangled Banner" on the day before the race last May, the hair raised on our necks, and we all ran to the Media Center balcony to listen. We immediately knew something special was happening. And when Cornelison nailed "Back Home Again" during pre-race ceremonies – who can forget how long he held the final note on "HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" – a new tradition was born. Cornelison wanted to return in 2018, and we were grateful to have him. You should be, too.
Fernando Alonso: The shocking announcement last April that two-time Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso would skip the Monaco Grand Prix with McLaren to race in the 101st Indianapolis 500 with Andretti Autosport was met with a mixture of excitement and reservation by some race fans. Yes, it was great to see Alonso's "throwback" spirit in wanting to win the world's most prestigious race despite never having driven a Verizon IndyCar Series car. But Alonso came from Formula One, which had a reputation of being a cold, aloof series during its eight-year run from 2000-07 at IMS. Would Alonso come to IMS and demand the spotlight as a petrol-powered diva? Would he be competitive? Would IMS fans embrace or shun him? Alonso answered all of those questions even before he turned official laps in May, enthralling millions of live stream viewers with his speed during a special test in early May. He also showed incredible humility throughout the month, bonding with fans and fellow drivers and performing every PR and promotional task asked of him with grace and class. And he was a marvel during the race, qualifying fifth and leading four times for 27 laps before an engine failure ended his race while in contention for victory with just 20 laps to go. Alonso has indicated he will focus on winning the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2018, but anyone who witnessed his classy, fast Indianapolis 500 debut this year will be more than happy to welcome him back to "The Greatest Spectacle in Racing" race any time he wants.

Slides from my invited talk at DTP 2011 are now available.
In this talk, I give a brief introduction to the Idris programming language, and show how it can be used to implement embedded domain specific languages (EDSLs) with strong correctness properties. I introduce a
dsl construct which gives these EDSLs a usable (i.e. readable and writable) concrete syntax, and show how it can be used to tackle realistic resource management problems in systems programming.
Code for the resource management EDSL is on github, though I don't promise much in the way of comments or documentation yet. There is a paper on the way soon which will explain the gory details.
(Usual disclaimer for publishing slides: you really need the talk as well as the slides to understand all of the details, so questions and comments are more than welcome.)

What is happening in Cairo is endemic in countries where regimes are supported by the USA. Mr. Hosni Mubarak and his cronies have systematically raped Egyptians metamorphicaly and literally in terms of human rights, civil rights and financially i.e. by stealing the nation's wealth.
Incidentally, Hosni Mubarak, his wife Mrs. Suzanne Mubarak and his two sons, (Gamal and Alaa), have amassed over 40 billion dollars in assets/cash in the USA, and banks in Switzerland and Britain.
Now where has this money come from and why have USA, Switzerland and Britain remained silent on this issue even as blood is spilled on the streets of Cairo ?
The ordinary working class citizens of this ancient land have been repressed by the machinations of a semi-benign police state supported by USA, a country that has historically fiddled in the affairs of other countries while ironically priding itself on freedom of speech and the first amendment; and, strangely enough by Israel, a Jewish State. In fact it is rumored that Israel does not want to see Mubarak go and further has been surreptitiously protecting him for they apparently prefer to support this malignancy because it suits their Machiavellian strategy i.e. dividing the Arab nations. Obviously this is a hangover from the Yom Kippur war of 1973 (Arab-Israeli War/Ramadan War/ October War).
The sudden surge in demonstrations and the proceeding violence is a long delayed backlash that should have come much earlier. And this is fuelled by sentiments stirred up by the Brotherhood and other vested interests. Mr. Karl Marx was right when he said that religion is the opium of the masses. What we are witnessing is the volatile concoction of culture spiced by religion which will predictably free citizens from State control but enslave them to the prevailing religious leaders' bidding.
Many Arab rulers are known to 'run' their countries reminiscent of medieval feudal States. A quick reference to the Shah of Iran, Saddam Hussein, Haile Selassie and the aftermath of their inglorious exit is ample proof of the path Egyptians will inevitably tread in the coming months. Finally when the dust settles the Brotherhood will settle in and as time ticks on one despot will be replaced by another in a form probably palatable to the ordinary people for they cannot argue with their self appointed religious leaders whose sole agenda is to use Islam as a tool to subjugate the people by perverted representation of this Great religion.
We have no one to blame but the USA and its allies for deliberately supporting Hosni Mubarak even though he and his accomplices have looted their own country.
The emotive images of blood, sweat and tears of ordinary unarmed, innocent Egyptians displayed on TV screens worldwide will finally come to naught for in the grand scheme of things, freedom will be but a fleeting glimpse of truth till organized religion takes the reins.
May God bless and protect the unfortunate people of Egypt.

Cold weather may keep some holiday shoppers home
UPS says business is up
With Christmas Day just two weeks away, WISN 12 News reporter Kent Wainscott examines whether the bitter cold may be taking a bite out of holiday retail sales.
Shoppers packed the stores over the Thanksgiving weekend, but now this bitter cold blast may be keeping some shoppers home.
"I'd say so, yes. Yeah, a lot of people don't like the cold," Wauwatosa holiday shopper Dan Geary said.
VIDEO: Cold weather may affect way people shop
"If you do it online, you sit at home with your jammies with your cup of coffee. It's great," West Bend holiday shopper Vikki Brendelson said.
The National Retail Federation predicts up to a 15 percent jump in online buying this year, but said it has no way to measure the impact of the weather but doesn't think it's enough to impact holiday season.
Not everyone agrees.
"Will it have an impact overall on this holiday shopping season?" Wainscott asked a shopper.
"I think it will. I think some people are not going to come out. I think it's definitely going to be slower," Milwaukee holiday shopper Joy Leibold said.
But while the cold and snow may put fewer shoppers out on the road this holiday season, it's likely to put more packages on the road.
At the UPS distribution center in Elm Grove, there has been an uptick in business in the past week.
"I know it's cold out there, but it's easy for you to go online and order your packages," said Andy DeLeon with UPS.
Still, holiday bargain hunters like Leibold think the cold will only impact other shoppers.
"It is 10 degrees today, and the temperature is dropping. At what point does it get too cold to get out to the stores?" Wainscott asked.
"I don't think it ever gets too cold to shop -- ever," Leibold said.
UPS said its busiest day for deliveries will be Tuesday.

Boston Marathon runners get chance to finish at Indy 500
Jennifer Black among runners Sunday
Organizers at the Indianapolis 500 planned a special tribute for Boston Marathon runners who did not get to finish the race.
After bombs went off near the finish line of the Boston Marathon in April, thousands of runners did not get to finish the race. But they did not want to be known as 'DNF' -- or did not finish.
So organizers at the Indianapolis 500 welcomed marathon runners for a symbolic finish before Sunday's race.
Jennifer Black was one of those Tri-state runners who didn't get to finish the marathon and went to Indianapolis Sunday to take part in the new finish.
"No race car driver wants to be a DNF and no runner wants to be a DNF so there is a correlation there. But it was unbelievable that the Indianapolis Motor Speedway would reach out to us," Black said.
Nearly 40 runners who stopped before crossing the Boston Marathon finish line were on hand Sunday.
"I immediately said yes! My family and I have had tickets to Indy since 1965," Black said.
Black is former Congresswoman Jean Schmidt's twin sister. Schmidt finished the Boston Marathon ahead of her sister.
Crowds chanted "USA! USA! USA!" as the runners ran from turn four to the finish line.
Black urged people to contribute to the One Boston fund.
"One leg is an estimated $10,000 and that's not an expensive leg," Black said. "I can't imagine going through life without my legs. As a runner, I just can't."
Black said she is using that as her motivation to run the marathon again next year.
And now she can call herself a Boston Marathon finisher.

Salaam and Greetings of Peace:
"It was only when I lay there on rotting prison straw that I sensed within myself the first stirring of good," says Alexander Solzhenitsyn. "Gradually, it was disclosed to me that the line separating good and evil passes not through parties, states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either, but right through all human hearts. So, bless you, prison, for having been in my life."
With Solzhenitsyn as our inspiration, let us take a moment to find the gift of one difficult thing we have faced and give thanks for its teachings.

The fifth to your face, shake, I gotta be relapsing
Spit in your face, maybe gotta be P laughing
Gift from the eight? Great, it gotta be P clapping
I can't stand around you bitch niggas
Emph beam make your team steam like a fish dinner
But the new shit burgandy
With new kicks straight from Munich, Germany
My net worth be making your neck jerk
Expert whenever, wherever the sket burst
The most fabulous flow
Yo, your whole shit dead, toe tag on the floor
Venomous speech, rappers play pretend with the beats
Hit with the knife, goodnight, then I send 'em to sleep
Nigga, General P
And the kit is like the Confederate General Lee

German GP 2013
Sunday Team Quotes
Red Bull-Renault
Sebastian Vettel (1st): "It was a tough race; it was one of the toughest for a long time. I'm happy the race wasn't two or three laps longer, as Kimi was a bit quicker towards the end. I'm very happy that it worked out and it's very special. The team worked really hard to give me the chance to win this weekend and we got it. First of all you have to remember that it's a privilege to have the opportunity to race in your home country; we have around 20 races, but there are obviously more than 20 countries, so it's special to race at home and get so much support. I had a good start and then just focused on every single lap during the race. You don't really think about where you are while you are racing, you can't allow your mind to drift, but when the flag came out and the race was over I really let myself enjoy the parade lap and saw a lot of people in the grandstands cheering and waving flags. These pictures will remain in my head for a long, long time."
Mark Webber (7th): "I knew we had lost the tyre in the pit stop of course, but not that someone got hit by it. That's bad and I hope he is okay, that's the main thing. Today was a bit of a nightmare and you want to wake up tomorrow and have another go at it. We had an excellent start and were in a great position leading up to the first stop with Seb, but we lost all of that. We lost a lot of points today and a chance to challenge for the win, but there's no rewind button now."
Christian Horner, Sporting Director: "The most important thing today is that the cameraman who got struck by the tyre does not appear to have suffered any life threatening injuries. It's a timely reminder that working in the pit lane is dangerous. Everyone reacted incredibly quickly and the most important thing is to hear that he seems to be fundamentally okay. Looking to the race, for any driver to win their home grand prix is something tremendously special and after the disappointment of missing out on the victory a week ago in Silverstone, Sebastian drove faultlessly today and can be very proud of what he's achieved in his home grand prix in front of the home fans. It's a huge result for him and very positive for the Championship. For Mark, it was a strong recovery drive; he got back on to the lead lap through the pace car and then fought his way back into the points. It's a great shame that we couldn't have both cars right up there today, but all credit to Mark for his very determined drive. We need to understand what went wrong in that first pit stop for Mark, but as I said, our main concern today is knowing that the cameraman is okay."
Thierry Salvi, Renault: "We fought hard for that today. Kimi and Romain really pushed us hard, but Sebastian did a great job to win at home for the first time. Mark also drove a storming race, coming from a lap down to a points-scoring position. For Renault it is very positive to see three Renault-powered drivers racing for the win and ultimately to have a clean sweep of the podium. Although it certainly makes us nervous behind the screens!"
Fernando Alonso (4th): "This was a difficult race, we weren't very quick and at some moments we were not competitive enough. In the first stint, we paid the price for being on used tyres, because by lap twelve they were already finished, which cost us some of the advantage we hoped to gain from our strategic choice. Even if we were hoping to finish on the podium, finishing less than eight seconds off Vettel after starting eighth is an encouraging result. The team is doing its utmost to make the car more competitive and after tackling a few races without being too sure about our updates, today we can claim to have cleared up many of our doubts and to have understood which are the areas we must concentrate on to move the development forward. When we arrived here on Thursday, the Silverstone test did not seem that important, because the race drivers were only meant to be testing the tyres, but having heard what the FIA had to say, it's been confirmed that we can test updates and this makes it a much more sensible proposition. If I get the call from the team, I'm ready to go."
Felipe Massa (DNF, Spin): "I am very disappointed with what happened, especially after the rest of the weekend had gone well. At the start of lap four, when I was on the straight, at the moment when I braked, the rear wheels locked up and I couldn't stop the car from spinning. When the car came to a stop, it was stuck in fifth gear and I couldn't stop the engine from stalling. It's very odd that it got stuck like that, even if so far, the team has not seen anything unusual. The Mediums did not have the pace we expected after Friday's free practice, but maybe other factors, such as the higher temperatures, came into play and made the difference. Now I want to focus on the next race when I plan to do my utmost to turn things around."
Stefano Domenicali, Team Principal: "Given the current state of play, I think today's result is the most we could have achieved and I don't think the strategy had much of an influence on the outcome of the race. Wanting to see the glass as half full, the points we have picked up at this point in the season are very important. The variable temperatures we saw today produced different performance levels. This turnaround confirms yet again how difficult it is for everyone to interpret as well as possible the true competitiveness of the car-tyre package at every track. Looking ahead, now it is vital that we optimise the performance of our car, just as our rivals have managed to do, because we want to get back to fighting for the top places as soon as possible. In Hungary we will have different tyres and it will be important to understand their behaviour right from the test at Silverstone, in two weeks time. At the same time, we will try to change pace on our development work, an area where we need to push hard."
Pat Fry: "Today's temperatures and track conditions, different to those we saw over the past days, had a strong influence on the performance of the various teams. In our case, I don't think the final result would have been different if we had opted for the opposite strategy, because, starting from fifth or sixth on the Softs, our position in the end would have been the same. Our pace on the soft compound was better than expected, when one considers that it's particularly sensitive to the higher temperatures, while the degradation of the Mediums was higher than expected and caused us a few more problems in balancing the car and that spoilt our first stint. I am sorry for Felipe, who had made another great start, but unfortunately he locked up the rear wheels under braking and spun, possibly because of the lack of grip. Fernando managed to get the most out of the car, always trying to attack when possible. It was a shame to miss out on the podium in the end, especially as the speed of the Red Bulls and Lotuses was not that much higher than ours. Now there are two weeks before the next round in Hungary, during which we will be pushing as hard as possible to close the performance gap which separates us from the leaders."
Jenson Button (6th): "There are a lot of positives to take away from this weekend; our pace was reasonably good; it's nice to be racing cars closer to the front, such as the Mercedes; our laptimes compared to the four cars at the front weren't too bad either; and today's points are badly needed right now. Unfortunately, the two Caterhams fighting in front of me in the closing laps probably cost me fifth place. When you're fighting for position, you expect the backmarkers to move over, even if they're fighting for position themselves. It's a shame - those points could be so important for us later in the season. The Safety Car also didn't help our strategy - but we were a lot stronger this weekend than we've been for the past few races. We can be positive - as a team, we didn't put a foot wrong all weekend, and we got the best out of what we have. Overall, it's a positive day for the team - now we just need to find some more pace in the car."
Sergio Perez (8th): "My car performed a lot better today than it did yesterday. We had better pace and degradation than we'd expected: we managed a very long final stint, and I think we maximised everything today. We should be happy. After the Safety Car, it was like the start of a second race. I just focused on preserving the tyres over that long stint - the car and tyres performed very strongly, but we just lost out on the final corner. It was always going to be difficult to hold Mark [Webber] back. This is a good step on from Silverstone - it's been a very promising weekend, and I hope we can take another step forward for Hungary."
Martin Whitmarsh, Team Principal: "Both drivers did a fantastic job this afternoon - they managed the limits of the tyre, pushed aggressively when it was needed and were always able to maximise the pace of the car. It's just a pity that they each lost position on the final lap. That was a little bit frustrating: we had terrible traffic at the end, so Jenson lost a couple of seconds at a critical point in the race. That enabled Lewis [Hamilton] to close him down quicker than normal and take a position that we felt we could have kept. The whole team did an extremely good job today: our strategy was perfectly managed, our pitstops were faultless, and the engineers maximised the pace of the car. We raced well, but we're still not where we want to be, although there are positives to take away from today. We'll be putting out heads down during the three-week break before Hungary and will be aiming to capitalise on the momentum we've gathered this weekend."
Kimi Raikkonen (2nd): "We had a pretty good last stint of the race, but the cars are close on performance so it's difficult to overtake. Maybe some more laps would have helped us, but the race is only 60 laps so you have to do your best with that. After my first stop I was stuck behind a Mercedes for a while, but once I was past the car was pretty good. After the safety car three of us were able to pull away, but we were too close on speed to change the order. It was a good day for the team. Of course, we wanted to win; we couldn't, but we did score the most points here. The warmer temperatures definitely helped us, so let's hope for some more hot weather in Budapest."
Romain Grosjean (3rd): "After some difficult races, everything went right today and it was pretty special when I was leading the race and returning to the podium is naturally a good thing. My car felt great on the first stint with the soft tyres and it's clear that the summer weather really suits us. Hopefully we'll have a long summer now in Europe! Letting Kimi past at the end of the race was the sensible thing to do as we were on different strategies and he had more of a chance of going for the win than I did at that point. We didn't know which tyre would be the best at the end of the race, so we didn't put all our eggs in one basket."
Eric Boullier, Team Principal: "That was a very good race from the team which validates all the hard work which has been going on back at Enstone, so we thank everyone at the factory for their efforts. After three difficult weekends, being on the podium was exactly what we needed. We need to continue like this to make up for lost ground in both championships. The E21 worked very well today and both Kimi and Romain drove superbly. We had a good strategy from the pit wall, some fantastic pit stops, and were it not for losing some time behind both Mercedes, it's possible that we could have won today. I think we'll have to ask Pirelli to keep this weekend's specification of tyres for the rest of the season."
Alan Permane, Chief Race Engineer: "We're very happy to be back on the podium again after a short spell of bleak races. Both cars ran faultlessly from start to finish and it did look like we could be able to take the fight to Sebastian [Vettel] but ultimately we didn't quite manage it. Kimi was held up by Lewis [Hamilton] after his first pit stop but came back fighting at the end of the race. Romain did a fantastic job managing his first set of tyres which enabled him to make some great gains. We did consider running Kimi on a two-stop strategy but we could see the tyre performance dropping. We expected slightly more performance from his final set of soft tyres, but he was right with Seb at the end."
Riccardo Penteado, Engine Support Leader: "A great race from both drivers, with incredible pace. It was a shame that the traffic pushed us back from the outright win but a double podium is still a great result, and more than we expected going into the weekend. Engine-wise, it's been a good Grand Prix, although temperatures were hotter than expected. The result shows the engine-chassis package is back to its best and we'll look to keep this going to the next race."
Mercedes GP
Lewis Hamilton (5th): "That was really a tough race out there for us today. I didn't have a great start and the Red Bulls were much quicker off the line, dropping me back to third. We really struggled with the second set of tyres which then compromised the rest of my race. It's a real shame as the team are working so hard and doing such a good job. We've clearly got a good car but for some reason, it doesn't work in these hot conditions. We'll keep working on it and the positive from today is that we were able to recover to fifth place with a good strategy and great pit stops, and we're still second in the Constructors' table. Hopefully we'll have a better chance at the next race but, for now, there's a lot of hard work ahead of us."
Nico Rosberg (9th): "The car didn't feel so nice to drive today. We struggled a lot with the rear tyres and that's why we weren't able to match the pace of the guys in the front. Even so, I had a bit of fun when I changed to the option tyres and could really push to at least score a few points. But we need to understand the new tyres a bit more because it seems that the new construction has shuffled things around, especially in these hot conditions. We have to do a lot of work in the next weeks to make sure we arrive in Hungary in good shape."
Ross Brawn, Team Principal: "Our first thoughts today go to the cameraman who was struck by an errant wheel in the pit lane. Happily, he does not appear to have suffered serious injuries but it was once again a reminder of the dangers of our sport and underlines the need for constant vigilance in terms of safety. Today was a race of two halves for us. In the first part, we were once again overstressing the tyres - particularly on the prime compound - and our performance fell away as a result. However, as the temperatures cooled off a little and things settled down, both drivers had respectable pace and were able to fight their way back through the field. Lewis and Nico kept pushing until the final lap and were rewarded for their commitment and determination. At one point it didn't look like we would come away with much at all from this afternoon, so there has to be a certain satisfaction in saving 12 points today. We have said all along that there is still a question mark over our performance in hotter conditions, and today's race showed that we still have work to do. We have made big steps forward since Bahrain and Barcelona, where we particularly suffered with hotter track temperatures, and our performance was much improved compared to those races. But we have not yet done enough to convert our Saturday pace into race-winning speed in all conditions on Sunday. The three-week break until Hungary will give us an opportunity to think about how we can make further progress on our tyre management as well as continuing to develop the core performance of the car."
Toto Wolff, Mercedes Motorsport Director: "We had a real character-building afternoon here at the Nurburgring. Neither of the drivers could find any grip on the prime tyre in the first part of the race and it mirrored similar experiences we have had so far this season. We managed to recover in the second half, though, and our result was pretty respectable in the end given how things looked after the first 30 laps. Well done to both drivers for squeezing the maximum out of the car today. After such a successful weekend in Silverstone, it feels a little bit like a night and day difference for us. We need to get our heads down at the factory, properly analyse our performance and keep working hard because we know that we will see similar temperatures in Hungary to what we experienced here."
Nico Hulkenberg (10th): "It was an extremely tough race. I was fighting on every lap, but this is what we were able to get out of it. To be honest, I expected we would have better pace today, but we didn't. The car didn't feel as good as I expected it would either. I thought, and hoped, we could fight with McLaren, but, unfortunately, they were too fast for us today. It was a race with a lot of overtaking and wheel-to-wheel battles, which are always fun. However, having to fight for positions all the time is never good for the strategy, as it's tough on the tyres and you loose time. Nevertheless, this weekend was better than the previous ones. We didn't have an update on the car, we experimented with the set-up, which worked well."
Esteban Gutierrez (14th): "From the beginning to the end we were fighting for positions, so it was a very tough race. It was difficult to overtake, because we were lacking speed on the straights. My rhythm was quite reasonable and I tried to do my best. The strategy wasn't ideal, although everything went to plan, but we pitted just before the safety car, which didn't make it any easier."
Monisha Kaltenborn, Team Principal: "One point is not exactly what we expected after a strong qualifying, but the safety car period didn't play into our hands. Nevertheless, we move on to the test in Silverstone and to the next Grand Prix with confidence. We were able to improve, particularly in qualifying, and we want to continue to improve. Nico delivered a strong performance. The last stint particularly was absolutely thrilling. Of course, we are not where we want to be, but we made a step in the right direction."
Tom McCullough, Head of Track Engineering: "We elected to split the strategies with the tyres at the start. Esteban started on the soft tyres, Nico on the medium. Unfortunately, the timing of the safety car was at the worst moment for us as a team - eight laps into Nico's second stint on the medium tyres and immediately Esteban had pitted. Therefore, it was going to be difficult to recover and score points from there. Nico did a good job in the last stint to get tenth place, which is good for the morale of the team."
Force India-Mercedes
Paul di Resta (11th): "It's not been the easiest of weekends for us, but in the final part of the race it looked like we were on course to score some points. In the end we just ran out of tyres during the last couple of laps, but it was always going to be risky with our two-stop strategy, especially as we had to pit under the safety car. There were times in the race when the car was working well, but I really struggled with the first set of mediums and was not happy with the balance. Things improved quite a bit for the final stint, but by then we were out of position. It's a bit gutting to miss out on points so we need to unleash our potential and get back to our usual form in Hungary."
Adrian Sutil (13th): "It turned out to be quite a disappointing race and for whatever reason we've just not had the pace this weekend. I struggled a lot with the tyres and had to convert from a two-stop race to a three-stop race, which was not our plan. I also lost some time at my final pit stop and after that the points were just too far away."
Robert Fernley, Deputy Team Principal: "It's disappointing to end our run of points finishes, but Paul came very close to picking up the final point today. Ultimately his two-stop strategy wasn't quite enough to fend off our competitors in the final few laps, but we came close to pulling it off. Adrian's race was also decided by tyre wear because we had to switch him to a three-stop strategy mid-way through the race. Overall we were missing some performance and didn't have the pace to make the strategy work. Both Paul and Adrian were unable to pass the Williams of Maldonado after the safety car, which compromised the strategy. With three weeks until the next race and a young driver test before that, we will work hard to ensure we can recapture the form we've shown earlier in the season."
Pastor Maldonado (15th): "It was a good race for us today as we put everything together and we were on for some points. It's disappointing to finish where we did today after the problem with the pitstops but we have to look at the positives and move forward from this."
Valtteri Bottas (16th): "We didn't get a good start today as we had a few problems getting away from the line. We also lost some time in both pitstops so we need to work out what happened there. The race pace was better than we had seen previously this weekend which meant that we could have been challenging for points, but unfortunately it wasn't to be."
Mike Coughlan, Technical Director: "We started the race on medium tyres, and as most of the cars around us started on softs we had the opportunity to run out of sync and make up some positions. We were targeting a two-stop strategy for both drivers which we made work. Pitting before the safety car also worked to our advantage. The drivers drove a clean race and managed the tyres well but we lost a lot of time in our pitstops. We had a problem getting the front-right tyres off both cars and also a problem on the left-rear during Valtteri's final stop, which resulted in the drivers not being able to finish in the positions they deserved. We are now investigating what happened to make sure we can fix this for the future. Overall, our strategy, the higher track temperatures and our tyre management enabled us to be in a position to compete for the top ten."
Laurent Debout, Renault: "We were a lot more competitive in the race than we have been in previous Grands Prix and were fighting for points. It was a shame to lose time in the pitstops, but there are definite positives we can take away; we've made a step forward on the race pace, which is what counts."
Toro Rosso-Ferrari
Daniel Ricciardo (12th): "A frustrating and rather dull race for me. After the start, I was able to hold position on the Option, but once we pitted for the Prime tyre, I really struggled for pace and couldn't push as hard as I wanted to in order to get more out of the car. I did try to push more, but the car wouldn't take it and I began to lock the brakes and slide too much, as I didn't have enough grip. This meant I had to drive more smoothly, but it was very frustrating going round and round, gradually slipping backwards. I can't explain why for now, so we will need to look at the data to see why we were just too slow for much of the weekend."
Jean-Eric Vergne (DNF, Hydraulics): "There's not much to say today, because after not having a good pace all weekend, today there was no change. I found the car very difficult to drive right from the start, then there was the moment at my pit stop, when I had to brake hard to avoid Di Resta who was released from his pit right in front of me, which cost me more time. On lap 23 the team told me they had spotted a fault with the hydraulics and called me in to retire. It's extremely disappointing, as this is my second consecutive race retirement. A weekend to forget."
Franz Tost, Team Principal: "Naturally, it is disappointing not to score any points this weekend, especially after Daniel had secured a sixth place on the grid. In the current era of Formula 1 where retirements are rare, it is particularly frustrating that we had to call Jean-Eric into the garage with a hydraulic problem. We didn't have the pace we needed today and Daniel did what he could, fighting with the Saubers and Force Indias, finishing ahead of one of each of them, but we were not quick enough to chase the McLarens, which were very strong today. For these reasons, we just fell out of the points zone. As for our strategy, it was fairly clear that three stops was the way to go for the majority. We knew this weekend would be a bit more difficult for us, as the track would not be best suited to the characteristics of our car. However, we have a few new updates planned for Hungary and before that we have two weeks to try and make further progress with our car."
Charles Pic (17th): "My start was ok - I passed Chilton but I had to brake hard in turn one and pretty soon I had a big vibration from the front right. We were always going to stop pretty early so we didn't have to change strategy too much, coming in at the end of lap four to go onto the primes. In the second stint the deg level on the tyres was good. We were looking at stopping earlier to cover one of the Marussia pitstops but as the tyres were performing well we could stay out. For once we had some luck with the timing of the safety car and boxed for another set of mediums, coming out behind my teammate in 17th. As we'd changed the plan under the safety car I had to manage that second set of mediums and they were holding up well until I had a slow puncture on lap 35 and had to box unexpectedly. The unplanned stop obviously ruined the strategy which is a real shame as we would have been right up with the pack ahead who were all bunched up because of the safety car. That's pretty frustrating but there's not much you can do in those circumstances. Because of the stop I came back out last but passed Chilton and with a few laps to go I passed Giedo whose tyres were gone and from there it was just a question of getting it to the finish."
Giedo van der Garde (18th): "I made a great start, passed two cars and then did Vergne on the first lap so by the end of lap one I was up to 17th. The car felt pretty good but we wanted to get the softs out of the way quickly so we stuck to the plan and came in early to go onto the mediums which had held up well on the long runs in practice. The first set of mediums was performing ok but we adapted the plan, pitting on lap 20 for another set of the harder compound. I'd just seen the first blue flags when the safety car came out so I was able to get the lap back and when the race restarted I was in 16th, behind Bottas' Williams and Gutierrez, and ahead of Charles. From that point it was honestly a bit of a lonely race! I was focused on making sure I could get the car to the finish without any problems, and we didn't have any more blue flags until towards the end of the race so it was all pretty trouble free. I boxed again on lap 35 and from there it was all about bringing it home. That was a long final stint so the tyres were completely gone towards the end and my pace had dropped a lot, but both Charles and I were clear of our nearest rival so it was a pretty straight run to the flag with him. Despite the final place I think this was another small step for me. My tyre management in the race improved a bit today and I've been working on it all weekend. We now have a small break until the next race in Hungary so I have time to head back to the factory, do more work in the sim and come back in Hungary aiming to continue to progress."
Max Chilton (19th): "Not an easy race today. We both struggled with our starts and the opening few laps and then I started to close the gap to Charles and Jules; I was happy with the car. Unfortunately for Jules he had an engine problem so I knew that I had to do my best to get some reward for the Team. In the middle stint there was nothing between us and Caterham and then the safety car came out and stirred up everyone's strategies. We made the right call, but just suffered with rear tyre wear with 10 laps to go. On the whole I was happy with my performance and speed today."
Jules Bianchi (DNF, Engine): "Obviously it is very disappointing to end my race so soon, due to an engine problem on lap 22. I got a very poor start and it was a real battle to recover from that and stay ahead of Pic. I had just completed my second pit stop and got ahead of Van Der Garde when the engine let go, but I think we had the pace to be able to fight to keep both Caterhams behind had I continued. The car felt well-balanced and we were showing the usual more positive race pace. It has been a less than straightforward weekend so perhaps this was just not destined to be our race and we just have to look ahead to the next one in Hungary."
John Booth, Team Principal: "An incredibly disappointing result for the Team today but perhaps one which, when digested on Monday morning, will be viewed more favourably. It is clear we had much more potential today and Jules' unfortunate engine problem meant that we were unable to beat our nearest competitors. We don't yet know the cause but I am sure working with Cosworth tonight we will be able to make an initial assessment of what went wrong. What was pleasing today was to see Max running very much at the same pace as Jules and the Caterhams throughout the race and he only lost out due to a more oversteered balance today, which meant that his rear tyres suffered later in the stint. We now move on to the Young Driver Test and thereafter the Hungarian Grand Prix in three weeks' time."

Children's Eucharist
Sunday, December 15, 2019 - 10:00am
Once a month, typically the third Sunday, the 10am Eucharist is an interactive/teaching Eucharist. Our Church School students process forward with all the items to help set the table. It is great fun for children of all ages!
Students attend Sunday School (as usual) during the first half of the Service (Liturgy of the Word), and then children (ages 3-12) are invited to stand around a small altar during the Eucharist. Youth (ages 13-17) are invited to assist with the younger kids and help with the Service.
