On the Brink
Gerhard Roth, born in Graz in 1942, is one of Austria's most important and controversial authors. His ninth novel, On the Brink, was published in 1986 as the seventh volume in his "Archives of Silence", a cycle of novels, essays and photographic documentation all centering on the theme of silence in its many aspects: the cloak of silence cast over the past, the silence of denial, the silence of impotency, or states of amoral or inner detachment. The theme of normality is another constant running through this series and one Roth touches on in particular in the third volume, A Common or Garden Death, where he also introduces the main characters of the present work: the law student and serial killer Alois Jenner, and his schizophrenic friend Franz Lindner. Lindner recounts there:
"My friend advanced the opinion that when a crime is committed, it just brings up the question of normality. The crime is viewed as a normal case when it is committed by someone who is considered normal. But whenever the crime is considered to be outside the normal run of things the culprit must also be deemed abnormal, and cannot be held responsible accordingly to the legal notion of normality. My friend can picture a pure crime performed purely for crime's sake, which the offender perpetrates simply out of inquisitiveness."
In On the Brink, Jenner attempts to escape normality through murder, while Lindner escapes into madness. Both choose to remain silent about the law student's appalling crimes.
This novel includes three drawings by Franz Lindner, done by the artist Günter Brus.

MONTREAL — Alex Kovalev's retirement from the National Hockey League last week clearly didn't unfold the way he would have scripted it.
After signing a one-year deal with the Florida Panthers, his stint ended after only 14 games.
Panthers general manager Dale Tallon said on March 5, according to NHL.com: "It was just a mutual agreement that we wanted to go in a different direction, that's all."
Then, word came a few days ago of Kovalev's retirement.
The wound was still fresh when Kovalev met reporters at the Bell Centre on Sunday after taking part in a legends' game featuring Canadiens alumni and NHL stars from the 1980s and '90s.
It wasn't my decision to retire, Kovalev said.
"I didn't have a choice. That's what has kind of been the frustrating part," said Kovalev, describing the past two weeks as tough.
Kovalev said he still doesn't understand what happened.
"Started the season good and everything was going well and, all of a sudden, they started pushing me away," Kovalev said.
"And I just never understood the idea and what exactly happened. They never really explained to me — the things they've been telling me, just didn't really make sense.
"You know what, what can I do? They've done their part. They gave me a chance to go back to the NHL. It's just I feel bad I have to kind of decide to retire on somebody else's terms, not mine."
With his incredible skill set and dazzling stickhandling ability, Kovalev was dubbed l'Artiste in Montreal, where he played four seasons after the Canadiens acquired him from the New York Rangers late in the 2003-04 season. He also came under criticism over the years from pundits who found his play inconsistent.
For a player who has said he wanted to play hockey until he was 50, it's not surprising Kovalev is considering staying in the game.
"I'm hoping to find a job somewhere in Europe," he said.
He won't go to Russia — where there are "worse (hockey) politics than here," he said.
"I'll just probably go to Switzerland."
He also didn't close the door to other possibilities.
"I'm still kind of recovering from everything happening," he said. "It kind of came by surprise. Sometimes you're ready for certain things and you prepare yourself.
"But when it comes (unexpectedly) it's really hard to swallow and hard to really find yourself and what your next step is and what you're going to do. It's definitely not fun and not enjoyable.
"If I find something that I like outside hockey, I'm probably never going to get involved in hockey. I'll just probably stay away because it's been really tough last four years. And I need to take a break."
Asked if he was bitter about how things happened with the Panthers, Kovalev said: "The thing is, I just never expected (it)."
Kovalev said he worked hard, made the team and thought he was playing well.
He received a call on his birthday on Feb. 24 telling him he wouldn't be playing.
"They just said something about timing was bad and I'm not fitting in the first two lines and out of respect to me they can't put me on the third, fourth line ... which doesn't really make sense," he said.
Kovalev arrived in Montreal on Saturday and paid a visit to Sainte-Justine Hospital. After the warm-up before Sunday's game, he tossed a few pucks into the crowd and received a warm welcome when he was introduced.
"I liked every second of it," Kovalev said of his time with the Canadiens.
He experienced some ups and downs, but overall "I really enjoyed it."
"At this point, you can say I made a bad decision going to Ottawa instead of staying in Montreal (after the 2008-09 season)," he said. "Maybe I would still be playing here."
Kovalev picked up an assist in the legends' game that featured several high-profile names from the past.
The NHL All-Stars team, which included Luc Robitaille, Marcel Dionne, Raymond Bourque and Eric Lindros, beat the Canadiens' alumni team 8-5. Part of the proceeds from the event will go to the Canadiens' alumni and Montreal Canadiens Children's Foundation.
Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin started the game wearing a Chicago Blackhawks jersey, but ended up donning a Habs jersey when he was "traded" from the NHL All-Stars to the Habs alumni team for Chris Chelios before the third period.
Bergevin said after the game it was fun to see guys he played with and against during his NHL career.
Asked about his plus/minus differential in the game, Bergevin cracked: "Even. I'm always even."
The Canadiens claimed forward Jeff Halpern off NHL waivers from the New York Rangers on Saturday and Bergevin called him a depth player for the team with experience.
"He's going to fit the mould of what we're looking for moving forward," Bergevin said.

Belt Driving Impressions
ecovelo is probably the "king" of belt drive test rides; he has tried at least half a dozen different bikes with this system and loves it. On one of his personal bikes, the belt drive has worked reliably for him for some time. Others (including commentators on ecovelo posts and persons I've spoken to locally) have reported a number of issues, such as squeaking noises, the belt slipping, and the system performing sub-optimally in winter conditions. I think that in order to get the big picture of how the belt drive performs, we need to wait until more cyclists use it for considerable periods of time, in different climates and weather conditions, and on a variety of bikes.
Next month I will be receiving another bicycle for a long term test ride that also happens to have a belt drive. No doubt I will have more to say after a few weeks of real-world experience with the system; maybe it will even start snowing by then. In the meantime, I am glad to have tried it on a different bicycle first - having done so will allow me to separate the feel of the belt itself from the feel of the specific bike. As far as first impressions go, mine are positive and I would love to see a classic city bicycle fitted with the Gates Carbon Drive... speaking of which, why do we never see that? The belt drive seems best suited for everyday commuting, yet most bicycles I see fitted with it are "weird" and "techy," if you'll pardon that biased terminology. An elegant belt drive city bicycle would be a delight to try.

This note added 2/3: Firaaq (the word means separation, or abandonment) marks the directorial debut of the one and only, the fabulous and ever-dependable Nandita Das! I'm looking forward to it as much as any other this month, although none of the theaters here in Southern California seem to want to show it, in which case the wait will be on for the DVD release. 'A work of fiction based on a thousand true stories', it stars Naseeruddin Shah, Paresh Rawal, Sanjay Suri, Deepti Naval, Shahana Goswami (from Rock On (2008)), Tisca Chopra (from Taare Zameen Par (2007)), etc. FiraaqTheFilm.com has some interesting commentary, I liked Ms. Das's note under 'Director's Space'. I think it's more than fair to say any film involving these two promises more than most!
Another interesting film releasing around Valentine's Day is comedy Billu Barber, starring Irrfan Khan, Lara Dutta, Om Puri, and Shah Rukh Khan (in a somewhat extended cameo). I think its music (Pritam Chakrobarty) is very average, and its tagline -- 'It's special to be ordinary' -- eerily similar to that to Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008) and 'There's an extraordinary love story in every ordinary jodi'. Gosh, everyone's trying to be so...ordinary. Official website: BilluBarber.com
While I don't doubt this will be a fun film (Irrfan's an excellent actor and very versatile, and Lara brings an interesting dynamic to their couple), there are a couple of things that bother me. A lead role was initially offered to my favorite Tabu, who turned it down for some very legitimate reasons related to Irrfan. From here:
...what is not so well known is the fact that for most of the shoot of The Namesake they did not even speak to each other. The dislike is not all mutual as it is more pronounced from Tabu's side. Her irritation with him stems from the fact that he likes to let on that they are really attracted to each other off-screen as well. She does not like the fact that he shows the world that there is more to their relationship than their actually is.
Creepy. No one messes around with Tabu and gets away with it. NO ONE! On another note, here's something to think about: For all the bad press and treatment item girls get, how about we wear our feminist hats (I'm wearing one as I write this) and call out the item boys too? Isn't it only fair? If even well-established actresses get called out for item numbers (forget that the songs rarely serve no significant purpose in the films they're in), why not the well-established actors? Am I the only one who sees a double standard (by fans too)?
Aside: I'd rename this segment in the film Aladdin (check out SRK's footwear!).
And finally, there's Dev.D, writer Anurag Kashyap's modern-day remake of Devdas, starring Abhay Deol. Here's a film I wasn't too excited about to begin with (see D here). Then Music Director Amit Trivedi did his thing and gave it a rather good soundtrack (18 tracks, about 5 of which I really like, the rest I skip through). Then I realized the official film website is rated X and even contains a 'Lust Line'. Sure, there's a case to be made for this kind of film under the banner of independent film, and that's okay. But I really am quite disappointed at all the sleaze that's being used to promote the film. I think it'll do well for what it is, and will be heralded as 'progressive cinema', but difference for the sake of difference doesn't work for me, and this film's certainly not for me either. And I like some of Abhay Deol's past works and am among the primary target demographic (18-35, male), but find it all rather misogynistic to reconsider. Am I the only one who thinks so?
Any February releases in particular you're looking forward to?
Feb 6: Chal Chala Chal, Dev D, Mere Khwabon Mein Jo Aaye
Feb 13: Billu Barber, Jugaad, The Stoneman Murders
Feb 20: Delhi-6, Kis se Pyaar Karoon
Feb 27: Banda Yeh Bindaas Hai, Firaaq, Rang Rasiya / Colors Of Passion

Promotional Ladies Tank Tops for Confident Women
For female clients and/or brand representatives, tank tops are another popular style of promotional ladies t-shirts that can get your brand noticed. Sleeveless promotional ladies t-shirts allow confident women to show slightly more skin than alternative t-shirts, so think carefully about your intended audience and their willingness to leave their shoulders and arms uncovered.

The options for customization are endless, and you can present your brand in an innovative, refreshing way simply by designing promotional ladies t-shirts that take the latest trends into consideration. Many retail trends translate seamlessly into the promotional space, so brands can now imprint promotional ladies t-shirts like three-quarter sleeve raglan tees or burnout tees with custom marketing messages. Younger women are accustomed to pairing these stylish types of t-shirts with jeans, shorts, or skirts to make a bold statement about their laid-back nature, and older women, too, have adopted these trends into their weekend wardrobes. Custom ladies t-shirts have become a means of self-expression, providing women with the ability to publicize their brand preferences on their bodies for all to see. The capacity to dress promotional ladies t-shirts up or down further enhances their versatility, and women of all ages can accessorize promotional ladies t-shirts however they like to best complement their personal style. Whether women opt to pair promotional ladies t-shirts with skinny jeans and high heels or denim shorts and flip flops, your organization's name and logo will become a key component of their outfits.

In humans, testicles tend to be more figurative than literal. When you say "he has big balls" I suspect you didn't actually LOOK at the guy's testicles. Besides, in the modern use of the term, females can be said to have balls, and I'm pretty sure they anatomically don't.
Part of the issue is that human testicles are a bit hidden at baseline, and when you add a few layers of clothes you don't see them at all (unless you have filariasis).
But all of that could change. With yogurt.
In a recently published study bound to send gangsta-rappers to the nearest dairy aisle, they found that male mice fed only yogurt developed larger and heavier testicles (5%-15% increase ) over mice on other diets. They also developed a characteristic posture of projecting their jewels outwards, which in turn gave them a "swagger" when walking. And (of course) they had better hair.
At this point I suggest you pause. Because you've probably got an image of a swaggering, big-balled, nice-haired mouse eating Yoplait listening to a megavolume boombox stuck in your head, and you'll need a minute to get over it.
Moving on.
The application of this in humans is staggering, but quite frankly I don't WANT bigger balls. I mean, walking can be klutzy enough as it is without putting more things in the way. The last thing I want is to go through life like Angus Young.*
The nicer hair I'm interested in. Hell, at this point in my life I'm interested in ANY hair. But I think I'll stick with Minoxidil.
I can see wanting to swagger here and there, like when I save the day at the hospital and don't have my cape with me (oh hell, I'm a neurologist, who am I kidding?), but I'm generally happy sitting at my desk in a quiet office. And when you spend most of the day on your rear end, bigger balls just get in the way, and you have to waste time readjusting them.
The article ended by noting that similar studies of yogurt, testicles, and "semen quality" in humans have been "consistent" with the mouse data. I have no idea who's volunteering for this. "After finishing the yogurt, take this magazine and a cup into the restroom."
Since I already have 3 kids, and would rather be comfortable at my desk, I'm glad that Diet Coke now comes with vitamins and minerals (can we have one with Minoxidil, too?). I'll get my calcium there, and leave the yogurt to those who prefer it with nuts. Big ones.
Thank you, Moose!

4The one enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord derides them,d
5Then he speaks to them in his anger,
in his wrath he terrifies them:
6"I myself have installed my king

7I will proclaim the decree of the LORD,

8Ask it of me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
and, as your possession, the ends of the earth.
9With an iron rod you will shepherd them,
like a potter's vessel you will shatter them."f
10And now, kings, give heed;
take warning, judges on earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear;
exult with trembling,
Accept correction
lest he become angry and you perish along the way
when his anger suddenly blazes up.g
Blessed are all who take refuge in him!

There are lots of rules and regulations about who can be/is saved and how salvation is received. There is very little evangelism if any at all in the catholic faith outside of foreign missionaries.
This Pope seems to be very open to making Catholicism more open to people and wanting to focus more on spreading the Word to everyone.
It probably would have been better to say that he sounds very un-catholic in his evangelical views. No offense was meant.
That's not always the case. I've heard evangelism preached at many masses. It's just that no one wants to go out and actually do it.
That kind of lends to my point though. Just because it is preached doesn't mean that it exists, although I am sure there are a few who will share their testimony and lead people to Christ (see: Matt Maher). The dude on 700 Club preaches acceptance but also says that Haiti got what it deserves because of his interpretation of their sin.

Curling SchoolCurling School is designed for anyone who wants to learn how to curl, or is relatively new to curling and would like to improve his or her curling skills. The school is open to paid students and adult club members, and consists of a core curriculum of basic skills, and additional elective curriculum of more advanced skills. Each week, you will receive personal instruction in the classroom and/or on-ice from experienced instructors. Curling school is designed to help the new curler become more proficient and more competitive, but above all, to make curling more fun!
Core curriculumThe first 3 weeks of Curling School are primarily aimed at first-year curlers. In these sessions, participants will learn the basics of the curling delivery, rules and etiquette of the game, and techniques of effective sweeping. New curlers are encouraged to attend all of these sessions.
Elective curriculumThe last 4 weeks of Curling School focus on more advanced aspects of curling, including strategy of the game and some more advanced techniques that will enhance your enjoyment and proficiency. The elective curriculum is appropriate for curlers with 0-5 years of experience. We ask that curlers RSVP for these sessions by contacting the instructors.
Syllabus and schedule
Lead Instructors: Roger Rowlett (USCA Certified Level II Instructor), Mary Jane Walsh (USCA Certified Level II Instructor)
Meeting time: Sundays, October 21-December 9, 3:30-5:00 PM (Note: no meeting Nov 25)
What to bring: Wear warm, loose-fitting clothes. Bring a pair of athletic shoes (sneakers or tennis shoes) with clean soles or a pair of curling shoes (see below). Brushes will be provided, or can be purchased. A limited number of grippers and sliders can be provided by the club.
What to purchase: It is highly recommended that each student purchase two grippers and either a slip-on slider or a gripper-slider.

Right "TV Team" On-The-Air For McDowell Crash (Thanks for the nice comments)
(photo courtesy of Preston R. Fischer - copyright 2008)
It only took the blink of an eye for Darrell Waltrip to know that something was not right.
It only took another moment until he knew something very bad was about to happen. As Michael McDowell headed for the wall in Texas, there was almost nothing to say.
Amid all the politics, the tire problems and the sponsorship woes, "reality" paid a call to NASCAR in the same stark and terrifying way it had in the past. Only this time, the results were different.
SPEED was live as the NASCAR on Fox crew of Mike Joy, Larry McReynolds and Darrell Waltrip was on-the-air with Sprint Cup Series qualifying from the Texas Motor Speedway.
On a bright Spring day McDowell's car slid the rear-end going into the corner and veteran fans looked at his front tires. He steered to the right. On a track this size and at that speed, this one decision may have cost him dearly only a relatively short time ago.
Veteran NASCAR fans like myself only have to close our eyes to remember the one part of the sport we normally try hard to forget. The single element of NASCAR that continued to frustrate teams, fans and NASCAR itself for years.
Every day when you visit The Daly Planet, the face of the late Neil Bonnett greets you with his trademark smile. As Michael McDowell headed for the wall on Friday, I closed my eyes and saw Neil Bonnett's life ending at Daytona in 1994.
Like many NASCAR fans watching live, I kept my eyes shut and just listened. The stark words came from Darrell Waltrip in a halting manner. "Oh my gosh," said Waltrip. "I have never seen anything like that in my life." I felt around for the remote to turn-off my TV set. I could not go through this again.
As it has been so many times over the years, it was the voice of Mike Joy that came to the rescue. "Michael is moving around in the car," said Joy. While this choice of words may appear simple to the casual fan, those seven words actually speak volumes about Joy and his ability to deal with difficult racing situations. With this one phrase, viewers could once again open their eyes. Death had not come calling.
Instead of zooming-in on the driver or replaying the crash immediately, the veteran TV production crew stepped-aside. The Director picked a camera angle of the car that did not show the driver inside. Then, as Paramedics approached the car to lower the window net, viewers at home saw a camera shot of the SAFER Barrier.
In the TV truck, everything is seen from many angles. There were lots of other camera choices that included looking directly into the car right after it came to a stop. Instead, the TV crew quietly waited until the window net was down and the signal was given that there were no life-threatening injuries.
In a TV moment that many fans will remember for a long time, McDowell emerged from the car. Mike Joy immediately used the classic racing line from the old Diamond P Sports videos. "And he walked away and waved to the crowd," said Joy.
As McDowell stepped into the ambulance, the TV production team then switched modes and used all the resources at their disposal to answer the question of what had happened. The simple and effective commentary from both McReynolds and Waltrip really told the tale as the video replays rolled from multiple angles.
Over the years, lots of people have had fun at the expense of Larry McReynolds and his creative use of the English language. Sometimes, McReynolds even pokes fun at himself when he gets excited on-the-air and loses his focus on basic language issues like punctuation and sentence structure.
It was somewhat ironic then that it was McReynolds who closed-out this incident with a strong and concise statement on national TV.
"If there have been any fans, if there has been anybody in our industry that has questioned the Car of Tomorrow...Ladies and Gentlemen, take a look at this guy who just walked out of that race car a few minutes ago," said McReynolds.
Very quietly in the background, the voice of Darrell Waltrip was heard. "That is unbelievable," whispered Waltrip. NASCAR fans across America were nodding.
The professionalism of both the on-air announcers and the behind-the-scenes TV production team in a live situation like this cannot be emphasized enough. They did the right things at the right times and never for a moment allowed themselves to get off-balance on-the-air. But for the grace of God, things could have gone in a very different direction.
Kudos to our friends at Fox and SPEED and to all the TV production staff involved in the coverage of this incident. They absolutely could not have done a better job.

Just hearing DW's tone of voice got to me because I KNOW what he and others have witnessed and did see the end of the Daytona in 2001 when Mikey won. . .and many other races and qualifyings besides that incident.
Thanks for the article, JD.

15 years ago Michael may not be with us. 10 years ago he would be in a Dallas hospital with some broken bones. the jury is still out on what the COT does for racing as far as actual racing. but i became a fan of it saftey wise today.
you said everything that needs to be said JD.

Words well spoken, looks like he got alittle loose in the speedy dry they put down for the oil from the previous run and maybe over corrected himself. The bottom line is, he walked away.

jd, i know you have spoken for me & i believe you've spoken for the whole of nascar fans with your words today. thank you.
speed gang: you have often been on the receiving end of our frustration and ire. yesterday, you handled this event with professionalism, empathy and dignity. your work was a master class that should be studied by tv students everywhere. well done and thank you.
gang: i've seen mcdowell's wreck more times than i care to admit and my chest still tightens & i don't breathe. our sport is a cruel sport at times and his wreck should -- by all rights -- have been one of those times. we forget that at our expense and a horrifying moment like this one brings us face to face with that reality.

As the incident was unfolding before my eyes, I was stunned. I expected the worse. This is one instant where the car of tomorrow (or today) probably saved a life.
Even the announcers expected the worse. Thanks J.D. You said it all

I think we all stopped breathing for awhile as we watched the accident unfolding. And the combination of DW's obvious concern and the fact that the camera was averted was chilling...all too reminiscent of the Dale Earnhardt crash. Thank God and the safety advancements NASCAR has put in place that this fine young man was able to walk away.
These men combine all the best that Speed and Fox have to offer. They combine their own vast insider's knowledge of the sport with the enthusiasm of the many fans who tune in to watch. And in an era when a lot of what we see on television is dictated by ratings rather than taste, it is reassuring to know that at least one production crew decided to honor the sport and the viewers by presenting this episode in a discreet and classy way. Just one more reason I love this sport and this on-air crew!

Even today, knowing that he's alright,reading this brings tears to my eyes. I was sure he wasn't ok, I am still amazed that he walked away. I'm thankful that the COT is doing it's job, keeping drivers safe.

Kudos to the broadcast booth, the flak they continually catch does not always reflect there greatest talent. That is how do you react under fire, like this incrediable crash. Which as I watched thinking, man this kid is in trouble.
How do you respond to what could be disastrous situation. I dont know how you could have done a better job. They all get a high five plus, a big Thank You for a job well done.

Amen, JD, Amen. And thank heaven for Dr. Sicking, the IRL, NASCAR, and the people who invented the HANS and SAFER devices, and Gary Nelson's team for their work on the driver capsule in the COT.
I hope the powers-that-be at all the networks that broadcast racing read your comments. There are too many producers out there who would have wanted to do a Chris Myers-type hype or even an ESPN-anchor kind of gush over this--and you're right, the photo angles the SPEED team chose to show were informative but still tasteful. Yet the TV was still compelling, the clip made every major broadcast in the country, and SPEED made news. There are a lot of lessons the networks can learn from yesterday afternoon.

After watching that replay with my wife last night, I said to her, "If he can walk away from that, the COT is literally indestructible." I can not imagine a way to die inside that car given what it just went through. If only Dale had that car, the HANS and those SAFR barriers.

tzExcellent write-up JD and spot on. It's a shame we had to loose to many racers to enact the safer walls and cars of today when the technology was available. Dale Sr. could be running his race team and Adam Petty could be the next superstar. Kyle would be retired and running Petty Enterprises, like he had planned.

In additon to the excellent coverage I wish someone on Speed had interjected that this accident validated that Dale Earnhardt Sr. did not die in vain because his crash in 2001 served as a much needed wake up call
to NASCAR on the subject of driver safety.

I wonder what happens in the production truck on accidents like that. The people in the truck are fans like us. I don't know how they can still work and keep there composure when watching a wreck like that. I watched the video on youtube and they swtiched angels during the wreck and took down the graphics while the wreck was on progress. I don't know how they did it. I would be going craxy watching a wreck like that.

I watched everything about 15 minutes later due to an interruption so I knew there was an unbelievable crash and was still shocked. JD your comments nailed it on the head about how Speed/Fox handled it. As much as I thought I wanted a close up shot of the car while we waited on Michael in my heart I was glad I was watching the black marks on the safer barrier. Those involved were the ultimate professionals and I am not sure anyone else could have handled it as well. Professionals turn down their emotions enough to handle the situation and then later let it slam them (just ask any nurse). You want to bet that Mike, DW and Larry Mac were sitting there with shaking hands, DW was teary eyed I'm sure, when they finally had the Speed guys take over for a while. I know there were some critics of this car saying that Nascar hadn't really done true crash tests unfortunatly Michael did it for them, thank God he could walk away. I know we will see the crash way to many times and I am not sure I want to it still has me rattled.

Great article. As I posted yesterday I was coming into the room as the wrecked car sat there and MM was getting out. The replay still got to me.
But what REALLY GOT TO ME was watching the replay of quals on SPEED and the 'live time' reaction of the fans in the stands, and the boys in the booth. DW's quiet voice of concern affected many.
Some may think of these guys in the booth as goofy at times (I am shocked how many people do not like these guys, or ANY of the SPEED gangs... but I know to each his own) But as mentioned, when a big crash happens, they know how to handle things.
Glad the crash had a happy ending for Michael.

Even though they may goof off and get silly, when the Fox (Speed) boys are on the air it feels like the grownups are now in charge and they'll know what to do when things go wrong, and they did.
As good of a crew chief as he was, Larry Mac was made for his role on Fox. The man knows just what to say and how to say it. He can cut right to the point and tell you just what happened or what's about to happen like no other announcer in any sport.
Of course, we all were praying that McDowell was going to be okay, but I found myself also hoping for the boys in the booth's sake that he was uninjured because I didn't want to see them have to go through that sort of tragedy on the air.

You said it perfectly, JD. I had just gotten home and turned on the TV. When I saw what was happening, it made my stomach drop and I couldn't watch it. The TV team handled it so very well. Hearing Mike Joy say those words made the world start up again and I could watch. I didn't watch the replays though. I have been to races where the crowd cheers a wreck and it makes me feel sick. I'm not sure how you can hate another human being enough to cheer when you don't know if he's been hurt or not. Thank goodness for all of the safety improvements, too, they let McDowell live to race another day.

Very well said. I was hanging up laundry and heard DW's voice. Hearing his voice, not watching the TV brought tears to my eyes. I ran to the TV and saw MM sitting with the window net up on the destroyed car. My heart sank, I couldn't breathe. When he got out and waved to the crowd, I was out right crying, tears of happiness.
I have been a person who has been on the fence about the COT. I think I would rather see the driver's struggle getting the setup right because the safety equipment definately does work.

JD, As I watched the wreck happen, my heart was in my throat and as others stated, I found out later, I was holding my breath. Seeing that young man walk away from what was left of his car was unbelievable. After seeing wrecks of the past...technology is a blessing for the safety of these talented drivers. I echo your comments on the coverage by Larry, Mike and DW.Professional, emotional and demonstrated the delicate handling the story needed. The SPEED and FOX teams did an amazing job. Please let them know from a fan in Minnesota!

In 1990 Michael Waltrip at Bristol had the worst wreck I have seen. Not as spectacular but car was worse. Google that one for a reminder.

Well said JD. The commentary was what it should be in situations like that: emotional, but not too much so, informative, and most of all respectful.
I know the wreck you speak of with Michael Waltrip, and McDowell's wreck on Friday took my breath away just like that one. If you haven't seen it, it's on YouTube - but it's under the wrong year. It happened in 1990, but the clip says '88 or '89.

I had just gotten home from work when I turned on the TV in the garage. As I turned to go into the house to change clothes I heard DW say those words. As I looked on all I could think about was this young man's folks. I thought the worst. I kept saying to myself, "get out, boy!" Somehow I did not think that would happen. But when that young man got out of that racecar I applauded, in my garage with the door wide open! It mattered not who was watching or listening in the neiborhood. I even thanked the Allmighty as I applauded. As a parent, what a relief when I saw somebody's child climb from that car.

Out of the top 5 wrecks that wasn't fatal, that has to be number 2 (Since nothing will beat Michael Waltrip's 1990 Bristol wreck....and let's hope & pray nothing will.) in my book. But, I too was a critic of the COT yet it did what everyone in NASCAR said it was supposed to do. And after a wreck like that where it was more spectacular than a Daytona wreck or a Talladega wreck and more violent, and to see Michael McDowell come out and said that he was MAD? Different age in NASCAR from the past, yet, I'm just glad the dude said it. Sad to say but if this was 8 years ago before we lost Earnhardt, A. Petty, and Irwin Jr., can we honestly say that something would be done to place safety in the cars?
As for the SPEED crew - Kudos, because my jaw dropped when I saw that and DW had that voice - similar to Daytona 2001. And when Mike Joy came out and said he's moving around, then he said that he's coming out and waving to the fans, I exhaled. That was pure professional broadcasting right there.
JD, I too agree with what you said.

But anywho, you were spot on JD! Thank you for the wonderful column!
I had just been able to tune in when I saw smoke coming as if from a car and then Michael going to the ambulance. I was about to back up the DVR when they did the replay.
It really was something else! He's definitely lucky to still not only be with us but have no major damage.
As others mentioned, if we had the SAFER Barriers and the COT years ago, we might have others still with us.

Excellent insight on the handling of the Broadcast. We know that they have seen tragedy before and they handled what could have been devastating to that young man and his family with true professionalism.

text: It is best eaten at room temperature and paired with fruits such as mangos, kiwis and strawberries. It also pairs well with pecans, walnuts and hazelnuts. Due to its high butterfat content, Rougette Bavarian Red is a perfect cheese to melt on top of food: try it melted on your steak or slices of bread. For a delicious side dish, place Rougette Bavarian Red on top of sliced cooked potatoes and pop the dish into the oven to let the cheese melt. Goes great with a spicy wine, Champagne, as well as medium - to full-bodied varieties. If you're just getting into washed-rind cheeses, this is a good place to start.

(Caraway, AR) The power is back on in the town of Caraway, Arkansas after an EF-1 tornado gave people a real scare on Halloween.
The clean up is far from over, but people are thankful they survived the powerful storm and that no one was seriously injured or killed.
There are stories or survival and how people in the small town helped one another through a frightening night.
Dee Dee Drummonds' voice is still filled with emotion days after an EF-1 tornado hit her hometown of Caraway, Arkansas.
"You have no clue how lucky we are. We're just lucky," said Drummonds.
The Halloween night twister was a lot more of a trick than treat for children and adults.
Florence Davis was well into the Halloween spirit.
"We was passing out Halloween candy and we had, I don't know, there was a lot of kids in the yard at the time," said Davis.
Davis said when the wind began howling and Caraway's tornado siren went off, she grabbed as many kids as she could and headed toward her concrete storm shelter.
"Actually we were kind of carrying a bunch of them and just kind of getting them all in (tossing motion) like that," Florence Davis said.
She figures there were as many as fifty children and adults crammed inside the concrete block shelter and sitting anywhere they could.
Davis said they were sitting on wooden benches, on the dirt and in each other's laps.
She said the scene in the shelter very chaotic, but everyone survived the storm.
"Children were screaming, crying, wanting moms and dads,"said Davis.
Monday, crews were still cleaning the hardest hit areas of Caraway and Craighead County.
The Red Cross closed it's shelter, but Monday volunteers were still handing out hot meals from the Red Cross mobile disaster unit.
Jody Carter, Disaster Zone Manager for Northeast Arkansas, said Red Cross volunteers distributed three-thousand meals since arriving in Caraway and provided many other services to storm victims.
He said the agency will continue to assist victims even after volunteers leave the disaster area.
"We've already identified families that have specific needs. And we're going to continue to reach out to them, either from our office in Jonesboro or our office in Blytheville. And we can have volunteers here in a matter of minutes," said Carter.
A disaster team from the Southern Baptist Convention served almost two-thousand meals and provided chain saws and even hot showers for people without electricity.
The group packed up and left Caraway on Monday after completing their mission.
Team leader Don Settles said volunteers, based in Corning, Arkansas, view every disaster as a chance to give from their hearts.
"They know that they're here giving a loaf of bread or a cup of water in the name of the Lord. And it's helping people...they just want to help people," said Don Settles.
The outpouring of love and concern has been overwhelming to people like Jona Dixon.
"We had hot meals, they gave us water, they gave us coolers, they gave us gloves, they gave up rakes. I mean, what more could you ask for in time of disaster," said Jona Dixon.

Visual Studio 2013 includes lots of useful improvements for Visual C++, including support for many ISO C++11 core language specifications and some ISO C++14 library features. In this article, I illustrate and explain the new supported language features VS2013 has added: raw string literals, brace initialization, initializer list constructors, and delegating constructors. A second article will cover the most of the remaining features of importance.
Special Characters and Raw String Literals
If you've worked with C#, you are probably familiar with the
@ string literal that makes it easy for you to avoid having to escape special characters. The ISO C++11 core language specification defines raw string literals that provide a similar feature, and Visual Studio 2013 has added support for it: When you define strings that include paths, URIs, HTML, JSON, XML, or regular expressions, having to escape special characters makes it difficult to read and understand the original content. The support for raw string literals removes the need to escape special characters and allows you to define the string with the original content.
The following lines show JSON content that requires escaping many special characters if you use the classic string:
{ "Title":"C/C++", "Subtitle":"Powered by C/C++", "Description":"The world of C/++ developers", "MainPage":"cpp", "Items":null, "Id":"6" }
The following code escapes all the special characters used to define the previously shown JSON content. Note that it is difficult to decode the JSON content with all the key-value pairs in a single line of code and all the escaped special characters:
auto json_content = "\n{\n \"Title\":\"C/C++\",\n \"Subtitle\":\"Powered by C/C++\",\n \"Description\":\"The world of C/++ developers\",\n \"MainPage\":\"cpp\",\n \"Items\":null,\n \"Id\":\"6\"\n}";
In Visual Studio 2013, the following lines use raw string literals to define the previously shown JSON content. Notice that it is possible to embed double quotation marks and use newlines. This way, you can easily read and understand the JSON content. The code makes
json_content a
const char* that contains exactly the same value generated with the previous line that used the escaped special characters.
auto json_content = R"( { "Title":"C/C++", "Subtitle":"Powered by C/C++", "Description":"The world of C/++ developers", "MainPage":"cpp", "Items":null, "Id":"6" })";
You might notice the use of
R"( as a prefix and
)" as a suffix that weren't part of the original JSON content. The prefix and suffix represent and delimit the raw string literal. In fact, the generic way of representing raw string literals is
R"ddd(characters) ddd"; where
ddd is a delimiter and
characters are the string characters. These characters can contain any graphic character, including the double quotation mark (
"), backslash (
\), or newline character. You can have either raw narrow string literals (
const char*) or raw wide string literals (
const wchar_t*). Raw narrow string literals start their definition with
R" and raw wide string literals use
The delimiter is an optional user-defined sequence of up to 16 characters that immediately precedes the opening parenthesis of the raw string literal and also immediately follows its closing parenthesis. You might need to use a delimiter when you have to define strings that contain double quotation marks and parenthesis, a situation that arises frequently when working with JSON content.
For example, the following lines generate compiler errors because the raw string literal has JSON values that include double quotation marks and parenthesis:
auto json_content = R"( { "Title":"(C/C++)", "Subtitle":"(Powered by C/C++)", "Description":"(The world of C/++ developers)", "MainPage":"cpp", "Items":null, "Id":"6" })";
The use of
ZZZ as a delimiter in the following lines solves the problem and allows you to embed double quotation marks and parenthesis in the raw literal string:
auto json_content = R"ZZZ( { "Title":"(C/C++)", "Subtitle":"(Powered by C/C++)", "Description":"(The world of C/++ developers)", "MainPage":"cpp", "Items":null, "Id":"6" })ZZZ";
Here is a sample regular expression that matches the opening and closing pair of any HTML tag.
If you don't use raw literal strings, you won't be able to see the same string, as shown in the next line:
auto regular_expression = "<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\\b[^>]*>(.*?)</\\1>";
However, if you use a raw literal string as in the next line, you will be able to read exactly the same regular expression without escaped special characters:
auto regular_expression = R"(<([A-Z][A-Z0-9]*)\b[^>]*>(.*?)</\1>)";
The support for raw literal strings will definitely make a difference when you write and maintain code that works with regular expressions and Web-related content.
Working with Brace Initialization and Initializer List Constructors
Visual Studio 2013 allows you to use brace initialization without the equals sign for any
struct, or
union. The default brace initialization with empty braces is possible when the type has a default constructor that might be implicitly or explicitly declared.

Any of the flip flops that require a clock have two key parameters that are crucial to understand if you are going to do any sort of digital logic design: setup time and hold time
A few weeks back I was talking about simulating flip flops with Verilog user-defined primitives. Of course, there are plenty of ways to synthesize flip flops ranging from vendor-supplied instances to inferring a flip flop from an always statement to blocking assignments. If you want to get really old school, you can get flip flops as standalone gates, make them out of simpler gates, or even build one out of transistors (or even vacuum tubes).
You are probably aware of the different kinds of flip flops: the D, the T, the JK, the SR, and the many variants thereof. But any of the flip flops that require a clock have two key parameters that are crucial to understand if you are going to do any sort of digital logic design: setup time and hold time.
Consider a classic D flip flop. It takes a clock and a D input. When the clock has a rising edge (or a falling edge, depending on the flip flop), the output takes on the value of the D input at that time. At any other time the D input can change and the output doesn't change. Simple, right?
Like most things in computers and electronics, that is a simple abstraction. Wires are not perfect. Insulators leak current. Resistors exhibit inductance. Most of the time, however, we can treat wires and insulators as if they are perfect and can ignore inductance in resistors. The same holds true for the simple D flip flop abstraction. It is good enough for most common cases. But it breaks down if you look at it in too much detail.
Flip flops work by feeding their output back to their inputs. It is like have a pump that circulates water around in a loop. When the clock edge occurs, the pump gets rid of the previous contents of the loop and takes in whatever is waiting at the inlet. This is a bit oversimplified, but it is actually what is happening inside of a flip flop, more or less. The output keeps feeding the input until the clock forces a different input which causes a new output.
The problem is what happens right at that clock edge. If the D input is stable — that is, it doesn't change — then there's no problem. The clock edge causes the flip flop's circuit to generate a new output. What happens if the D input changes just before the clock edge occurs? What happens if it changes just after the clock edge?
If the D input is changing just as the edge occurs, you may have a setup time violation and the output of the flip flop can be undefined. For example, a 74LS74 (a discrete TTL flip flop) has a 20ns setup time. If the D input changes within 20nS of the clock edge, the device won't guarantee proper operation.
The hold time represents how long the input has to stay stable after the clock edge for proper operation. The 74LS74 has a 5nS hold time. A typical circuit will have a series of flip flops connected by some combinatorial logic (that is, or gates, and gates, and inverters). The network of connecting logic will have some amount of delay as the signal propagates through them. The wiring will also have a small amount of delay, as well.
That delay is good, up to a point. If all the flip flops saw the input signals change at the same time, synchronous logic wouldn't work! In some cases (like two flip flops connected directly together) this could be a real concern. Logic synthesis software will introduce delay to make sure the setup time is exceeded. The difference between the actual setup time and the desired setup time is called setup slack. A positive number means the signal isn't getting to the input too fast.
You can also compute hold slack the same way. It is harder to fix hold slack. If an input isn't held long enough, you may need a slower clock. Think of it this way: The signals from one clock edge have up to the time of the next clock edge to get to their next input. A slower clock will allow for a longer set of delays between flip flop inputs.
When a synthesis tool can find a solution for a given clock frequency that has positive slack for both setup and hold times, your design has met timing closure. The tools take many other factors into account. For example, the clock won't get to all flip flops at exactly the same time (clock skew), and that will also affect setup and hold calculations. However, the tools can't always exactly figure out the correct slack. Your design might have inputs that can't change at the clock rate, for example. Sometimes you have to identify problem areas for the tool to get good results.
There is one other issue that occurs with flip flops having to do with setup and hold time: metastability. This is a problem when you have input to a design that doesn't obey the system clock. I'll have more to say about that next time.


text: Share: February 26, 2013 Climate Change On January 14, a week before President Obama said Americans must respond to climate change in his inauguration speech, a draft of the 2013 National Climate Assessment (NCA) was released. Four years in the making, the comprehensive analysis summarizes current global change trends and makes predictions for the coming years. Three members of the Cary Institute's community played a leadership role in the report's creation. Jerry Melillo, vice-chair of the Cary Institute Board of Trustees and senior scientist at the Marine Biological Laboratory of Woods Hole, spearheads the effort as chair of the National Climate Assessment and Development Advisory Committee. Cary Institute President William Schlesinger and microbial ecologist Peter Groffman led sections on biogeochemistry and ecology respectively.The Global Change Research Act of 1990 requires periodic National Climate Assessment (NCA) reports to analyze the effects of global change on the environment, agriculture, energy production and use, land and water resources, transportation, human health, and biological diversity. The report's goal is to inform policy decisions and educate citizens about climate change impacts."The NCA helps us see if predictions made over time have come to pass and lets us learn from what we didn't get right," notes Groffman. New perspectives, gained by incorporating refinements from earlier editions, Groffman says, make the NCA critically valuable to the scientific community. Groffman's section focused on ecosystems, ecosystem services, and biodiversity, with participants analyzing phenomena ranging from species loss to changes in the arrival of spring and fall. Synthesizing research from hundreds of documents, testing predictions, and refining current knowledge "offers a more robust assessment, which will ultimately lead to better decision making," states Groffman.Schlesinger, who led the group on biogeochemical cycles, recognizes that some refinements in his section may not sit well with various stakeholders. "Previously, some scientists thought that upwards of 35% of carbon dioxide emissions were being absorbed by North American forests. Current findings indicate that 24% is the high bar, and 13% is more accurate." His section confirms that CO2 emissions from fossil-fuel use continue to be the major driver of climate change. It also notes that estimates of human-derived nitrogen emissions have nearly doubled. The nitrogen cycle's influence on climate change is complex. Nitrogen gases and aerosols in the atmosphere may be moderating climate warming at present, but the increasing use of nitrogen fertilizers is likely to enhance greenhouse warming over the next 100 years. Under Melillo's guidance, an important feature distinguishing this NCA report from prior editions is input from both public and private sectors. That the foundation of the 2013 report is built on partnerships among the government, academics, and industry may enhance meaningful integration into policy decisions.Download the full Draft Climate Assessment Report at ncadac.globalchange.govDownload Chapters of Draft Climate Assessment Report below.

Melvin Gordon, No. 25 Wisconsin roll past Illinois
CHAMPAIGN, Ill. -- Wisconsin lost defensive leader Chris Borland to injury early on Saturday and even with an early three-touchdown lead struggled to put Illinois away.
So the No. 25 Badgers put the game in Melvin Gordon's hands and he delivered.
Gordon rushed for 142 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 25 Wisconsin (5-2, 3-1 Big Ten) to a 56-32 rout of Illinois. James White backed him up with another 98 yards in 20 carries and two touchdowns.
"The offense was very powerful tonight," Badgers coach Gary Andersen said. "They ran the ball extremely well."
Gordon, who has 1,012 yards for the season, said the Badgers' 21-0 first quarter lead was a key to the game.
"That momentum at the beginning was important," Gordon said. "We knew we had to come out fast, especially on the road. They tried to take it from us but we took right back."
Illinois coach Tim Beckman said defense was a problem for the Illini (3-3, 0-2) , but so was a running game that managed just 72 yards on 29 carries against one of the top run defenses in the country.
"When you play against a team like that, you've got to be clocking on all cylinders," he said. "Defensively, we didn't tackle well in space."
Borland, the team's leading tackler, said he hurt his right hamstring covering a punt in the first quarter. He never returned, watching much of the second half in street clothes.
"I just couldn't play," he said. "It's going to be OK, they've already started to take care of it."
Andersen said he expects him back soon but is glad to have a bye week coming to give the linebacker time to heal.
Gordon went over the 1,000-yard mark on a 13-yard touchdown run in the third quarter that put the Badgers up 42-17. It capped the second of two bruising, third-quarter drives that put Illinois away. White finished the first with a 2-yard touchdown pass from Joel Stave.
Before the drives, Illinois had found ways to claw back from an early 21-0 deficit and trailed 28-17 at halftime.
"Defensively we played hard and flew around the field," Andersen said. "(But) we're better than that on D. We have to be better than that."
On a day when Michigan and Indiana combined for 1,319 yards of offense and 110 points, the decisive Badger drives looked like old-time Big Ten football -- using tough backs, smart running and short passes to put a lesser opponent away and stay close to Ohio State in the Big Ten Leaders division.
White took a short toss from Stave for his touchdown, lunging hard through a tackle to tuck the ball over the goal line. The touchdown ended a nine-play, 75-yard drive that chewed up just over five minutes and put Illinois on its heels.
Gordon's score wrapped up a five-play, 56-yard drive as he took the handoff and charged into the line, saw nothing there and used his speed to bounce outside and easily cover the 13 yards that put the Badgers up by 25 at 42-17.
Illinois was all but done and on its way to its 16th straight Big Ten loss.
Borland's absence didn't improve Illinois' ability to run. The Badgers entered the game as the 10th-best run defense in the country, giving up 90.1 yards a game. Josh Ferguson led Illinois with just 25 yards on seven carries. Borland's backup, Marcus Trotter, made the most of his shot with a team-high nine tackles.
Illinois' offense revolved around quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, who had 249 yards passing. Steve Hull caught six passes for 105 yards.
After Wisconsin breezed to its 21-0 first quarter lead, Illinois spent the rest of the night trying to catch up.
Gordon's first-quarter touchdown covered 26 yards and showed off his speed. He ran into a small gap on the left side of the Illini line and, with speed that seemed to surprise the Illinois defense, quickly cut past what briefly looked like a potential tackler and sped into the end zone. With 6:03 left in the first quarter, Wisconsin led 14-0.
Illinois tried a reverse to open its next possession, but Scheelhaase couldn't handle backup quarterback Aaron Bailey's pitch, bobbling it before it dropped to the ground. Wisconsin defensive end Ethan Hemer recovered the ball at the Illini 8.
Three plays later, Stave hit tight end Brian Wozniak a yard deep in the end zone for an easy score.

Charles Krug was an imprisoned revolutionary, an entrepreneur, and a wine visionary. Peter Mondavi and family are entrepreneurs and wine innovators, but never imprisoned revolutionaries (that we know of!). Together, they trace the entire timeline for wine in Napa Valley. Charles Krug Winery in St. Helena, Napa Valley, was founded by a 24-year-old revolutionary who was part of a coup to overthrow the German Parliament. He was thrown into prison, to be freed only in a second revolution attempt nine months later. Around him, some of Europe's greatest cities--Prague, Paris and Berlin—were in political and financial turmoil. Meanwhile, from the California Gold Rush came stories of riches and glory and the promise of unimaginable wealth. It didn't take Krug long to jump on a ship to the New World. Charles was educated, opinionated and entrepreneurial, founding Napa Valley's first winery in 1881. He was the first major vintner to apply scientific methods and European techniques to winemaking here. He also brought varietal diversity to Napa Valley, too, rejecting the prevalent Mission grape in favor of European varieties. Krug not only set the stage, he built the stage for the Napa Valley wine business. Fast forward around 30 years. Around the time of Prohibition, another immigrant-entrepreneur, this one from Italy, started a grocery business in Minnesota. To supply his customers' home wine-making endeavors, Cesare Mondavi came on an innovative solution: he began trips to California to buy Zinfandel grapes to ship home. Meanwhile, in Napa Valley, Charles Krug's historic winery was falling apart. With his grape business booming, Cesare and Rosa Mondavi moved their young family to California and bought Krug's languishing legacy in 1943. When Cesare died in 1959, Rosa and their sons Peter Jr. and Robert operated Charles Krug until 1966, when Robert moved a few miles south to Oakville to set up his own winery. Peter was named president of Charles Krug, a position he still holds, coming into the winery nearly every day. That certainly speaks to the power of red wine: Peter Mondavi Sr. is 94. The Peter Mondavi Family history at Charles Krug Winery is the story of 60 years of innovation. After graduating from Stanford University, Peter pursued wine studies at U.C. Berkeley, where he experimented extensively with cold fermentation techniques. Back at the family winery, he pioneered those processes-- the first winemaker in California to do so. The Mondavis published the first winery newsletter in California (Bottles & Bins, 1949) and, in 1953, Life Magazine declared that Charles Krug produced the "best California white wine" of the year. The winery's Tastings on the Lawn, now in their 57th year, are believed to be the earliest public wine tastings of their kind and went on to inspire a myriad of other tasting events. In 1963, Charles Krug was the first Napa Valley winery to import French oak barrels to age wine and was among the first to vintage-date varietal wines. Today, a monumental renovation project at Charles Krug has brought the birthplace of Napa Valley wine to the future. Having extensively replanted the family vineyards with a focus on noble red Bordeaux varietals, Peter Sr. and his sons, Marc and Peter Jr. are now practicing sustainable viticulture on their 850 prime Napa Valley acres. They have also restored two landmark structures, Charles Krug's original Redwood Cellar and Carriage House, honoring their history as the birthplace of Napa's wine business. They're determined that their winery will remain family-owned and focused on quality, and to steward the land while preserving the winery's historical legacy. Says Marc: "These are the values our father and grandfather instilled in us. We are investing in the future of this family, this winery, and this remarkable place." Read less

Canvas Arts are suitable for every room given that the number of variations in form and size are manifold. Whether rectangular, as panorama or design formats or as multipart article - Canvas Arts always cut a fine figure and spread real gallery feeling with their printed edges.
