GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) Nick Watney birdied the final hole for a 5-under 65 and a one-stroke lead Saturday after the third round of the Wyndham Championship.
Watney made a 20-foot birdie putt from the right edge of the green on the par-4 18th. The five-time PGA Tour winner had a 14-under 196 total at Sedgefield Country Club.
Brad Fritsch was second after a 65.
Freddie Jacobson and second-round co-leader Heath Slocum were 12 under. Jacobson shot a 66, and Slocum had a 68.
Former Wyndham winners Brandt Snedeker and Webb Simpson joined second-round co-leader Scott Langley at 11 under in the final event of the PGA Tour's regular season. Snedeker and Simpson shot 66, and Langley had a 69.
Fritsch was the first to 13 under, but Watney joined him with a birdie on the par-5 15th - his second of the week on that hole.
Then came the sequence that gave him sole possession of the lead, and it came on the second-toughest hole of the day.
Watney plopped his fairway shot from 180 yards onto the right edge of the green, then calmly rolled in his putt for just the fifth birdie of the day on 18.
That put him in great position for his second top-10 finish of the year and his first victory since he won The Barclays in 2012.
Fritsch - a Canadian who played college golf at Campbell and lives in the Raleigh suburb of Holly Springs - said he asked the officials at the first tee to announce him as a North Carolinian.
''Just so people would know (and) get a little focus off Webb and a little onto me,'' Fritsch said with a laugh.
He was the first to get to 13 under when he birdied the par-3 16th after placing his tee shot about 15 feet from the flagstick.
Fritsch, who is playing his second full season on the PGA Tour, put himself in position to challenge for his first victory on tour and his third top-10 finish.
He's also got a shot at making the postseason after arriving at Sedgefield Country Club at No. 163. The top 125 qualify for The Barclays next week in New Jersey.
He came to this tournament last year at No. 128 last year but missed the cut - and the playoffs.
Andres Romero had the day's best round, a 64, and Kevin Foley and David Toms each hit holes-in-one. Foley aced the par-3 12th with a 5-iron a few minutes before Toms did it on the par-3 seventh.
But so far, the story at Sedgefield Country Club has been its tightly-packed leaderboard. Thirteen players enter the final round within three strokes of the lead.
When the second-round co-leaders finally teed off midway through the afternoon, four other players had already joined them atop the field at 10 under.
And by the time the Slocum-Langley pairing had finished its 10th hole, there were five players - including those two - sharing the lead at 12 under.
That didn't even include Jacobson, who began the day two strokes behind the leaders but made a short, quick rise to 12 under with four straight birdies on his front nine. He fell back with a bogey on the 11th.
One by one, most of them slipped back with back-nine bogeys: Martin Laird had one on the 12th and another four holes later, Slocum followed suit on 11, Langley had one on the 15th and Snedeker had his only bogey of the day on 18.

The first-ever Light Up the Boulevard Parade & Festival Saturday was popular beyond the expectations of event organizers, and so successful that the Grand Island Chamber of Commerce is promising more next year.
The parade, barely a quarter of a mile in length, drew a large crowd to the boulevard and more to the Town Hall for a post-parade festival.
"We came around the corner, we saw it was four or five deep with people," Chamber Vice President Jim Sharpe said of the parade crowd. "It's like the Fourth of July parade in November."
"For its first time happening, we could not be more ecstatic about the turnout, the reception that has been received from the community of Grand Island," Sharpe said. He gave all credit to chamber director Fran McMahon, chair of the event.
"The thing of it is, her inspiration, her drive, her passion for this, it made sense that the Chamber of Commerce climb on board and get behind her," Sharpe said.
McMahon said she envisioned the parade and festival last year.
"We want to enhance the businesses on the Island, and I just thought if we lit up the boulevard and have every business light up, it would attract people to them when they go by."
"Everyone on the Island is a small business and we want to keep them open and we want the Island to support our business," McMahon said.
"We see it only growing on Grand Island and being better and better," Sharpe said.
"It was a great length for how many participants we had. It was a perfect size for the first year, and next year? The whole boulevard," McMahon said. "Just like the Fourth of July."

Manchester United have reportedly identified Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan as a potential summer transfer window acquisition with their hopes of signing Cesc Fabregas fading.
Barcelona have rebuffed three bids from Manchester United in their pursuit of Fabregas, and David Moyes may now be forced to look elsewhere in search of midfield reinforcements.
According to Metro, the impending reality that Fabregas will not be moving to Old Trafford is set to prompt the Premier League champions to approach Borussia Dortmund on the subject of Gundogan.
Gundogan had been linked with Manchester United during the tenure of Sir Alex Ferguson, and Moyes could now seemingly follow-up the interest of his predecessor by making a formal bid.
The 22-year-old, who has been endorsed by former BVB teammate Shinji Kagawa, and Manchester United are reported to believe they can capture the player for around £20 million.
Dortmund, however, may be loath to sell the Germany international having already been forced into the sale of young playmaker Mario Götze to Bundesliga rivals Bayern Munich.
The Champions League finalists have moved to compensate for the departure of Götze by recruiting Henrikh Mkhitaryan from Shakhtar Donetsk, but the sale of another midfielder would appear unlikely.
Manchester United will be hopeful, however, with Gundogan having only two years left on his current contract with BVB, and no agreement over an extension reached with the youngster.

Blue Jays welcome Farrell back to Rogers Centre
John Farrell returns to Toronto on Friday when the Boston Red Sox begin a three-game set with the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.
Farrell, of course, managed the Blue Jays the last two years, compiling a 154-170 mark. He left this offseason for a chance to manage the Red Sox, for whom he was the team's pitching coach before making the jump to Toronto.
"Definitely looking forward to it," Farrell said. "They've got a good team. We're looking to compete against them. I'm sure the excitement that's around the Blue Jays because of the changes they've gone through in the offseason, this will be a very good challenge for us."
Boston was denied a sweep in its season-opening series against the New York Yankees on Thursday, as Andy Pettitte shut it down in a 4-2 loss.
Ryan Dempster (0-1) lasted just five innings in his Red Sox debut. The right- hander struck out eight, but allowed three runs on five hits and four walks to take the loss.
"I got outpitched by the guy on the other side of the field," Dempster said. "That's the way it goes sometimes."
Will Middlebrooks went 2-for-4 with an RBI and scored Boston's first run on Jackie Bradley Jr.'s two-out double in the seventh inning.
On Friday, Farrell will rely on left-hander Felix Doubront, who was 11-10 last season with a 4.86 ERA. He only pitched 13 innings this spring, but was 1-2 with a 4.15 ERA.
Doubront had some success at Rogers Centre a year ago, as he posted a 1-0 mark with a 3.18 ERA and 13 strikeouts in two starts.
Toronto, meanwhile, got off the schneid and picked up its first win on Thursday, as six different players connected for seven home runs in the Blue Jays rolled past the Cleveland Indians, 10-8.
J.P. Arencibia went 3-for-4 with two home runs, Edwin Encarnacion hit a three- run shot, while Jose Bautista clubbed a two-run blast and Colby Rasmus added a solo shot.
"I think everyone has an idea was this offense is capable of," said Arencibia. "Two games don't make your season and no one's worried here. Everyone knows what we have in this clubhouse."
Toronto starter Mark Buehrle gave up six runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. Steve Delabar (1-0) got the final two outs of the top of the sixth to pick up the win, while Casey Janssen pitched a flawless ninth to earn the save.
The Blue Jays will get a look at one of their newest acquisitions on Friday when righty Josh Johnson takes the hill. Johnson was on his way to becoming one of the best pitchers in baseball, but has been derailed by injuries.
Last season, the two-time All-Star endured his worst year as a pro, going 8-14 with a 3.81 ERA.
"Josh Johnson, arguably, over the last few years was the most sought out pitcher out there," Toronto manager John Gibbons said.
Toronto was 11-7 last season versus the Red Sox.

Gesneriaceae Research
About the Research
The Smithsonian Institution has a long history of monographic and floristic work on the plant family Gesneriaceae, one of the largest families of the Lamiales as now circumscribed. Conrad V. Morton worked on the family from the 1930s until his death in 1972. Shortly after Morton's death, Dr. Laurence E. (Larry) Skog was hired to continue research on Gesneriaceae in the Smithsonian's Department of Botany, and continues to work on the group since retiring in 2003. In large part due to the work of these two scientists, the United States National Herbarium (US) has grown to have one of the largest and richest collections of Gesneriaceae in the world, with approximately 28,000 specimens and including about 1,000 types.
Although the emphasis of the collection is on New World material it includes many specimens from the Old World, with particularly significant holdings of Chinese, Philippine, and Pacific Island material. The department also maintains a small living collection of approximately 300 accessions in its research greenhouses in Suitland, Maryland. Collaborative ongoing projects include an online update of Gesneriaceae for the Biologia Centrali Americana and an examination of the phylogeny, morphology, and biogeography of tribe Gloxinieae in collaboration with Eric Roalson, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington.

(soundtrack: https://soundcloud.com/vice/mob-deeps-say-something )
So... I&W is finuuully joining congress elections again. However against a cost. I&W has been pushed or nudged out of the top5 last 2(3?) months, so I definitely didn't want that to happen again under my watch. We made a deal with BG. They get out #1 spot in exchange for help securing a place in the top5 so we at least can be part of the oh so democratic process. Hey! I'm open about it. It's politics baby, not rumikub.
So what remains with the other spots? It is always quite subjective how to define who goes where, so I tried (read that: TRIED) to make something more objective.
I decided that activity in congress should play a big part, and also a routine activity check in-game.
Formula is: ( 10 : reply time on in-game PM ) + (number of posts in congress last month ) + handicap(positive or negative) = score
Now one might expect that our members start spamming congress next month just to up their chances for a possible seat the next month. That won't happen because next month I plan to add a quality factor to the calculation.
People might nag about the method, but hey! We are the only party who actually have a method for this now!
And if they still don't like it:
Anyway, so here are our candidates, As you can see, I swapped places with Odan), which I think is a prerogative I can make as PP, to add a wildcard NOT in my favour. I swapped with him because if elected (doubtful with 10 seats to share) I'd feather focus on the party this month then congress.
SOoooo what about content huh?
Well our CM's run on their own platform this month, and congress is a shadow of it's past and hardly ever anything gets done there.
Not that it is not possible, it's because it's impossible!
So it's pretty useless to make a party line in it right now TBH. But I'll repeat what was said earlier, and something moar.
Foreign Affairs:
Whatever happens, something must happen that gives our country more activity on the global level. Joining an pro-Poland alliance will need a lot of explaining to newer players, to why that why that is the option we have for now.
Needs to be upheld at all cost, only then we can take it seriously to actually change any old faults that may be lurking in there.
It might be a good thing to form a neutral committee consisting of the legal experts of all parties, and update the current legal system.
But again, current law needs to be upheld first!
Money's gotta flow bro! We might be centre right party, and believe in keeping savings around. But money is useless if you sit upon it.
However lot of current law and taxes stem from an older time, a time we where raking in millions of cc (and lost a couple too).
So that structure must be evaluated too. Also a cross-party committee could be a way to achieve this.
We can't cry participation all the time, while being sidelined for congress elections. Participation happens internally and externally. I&W being a constant part of congress is a priority. The most experienced voice will be heard.
I&W has a long tradition of appointing the right person for the right job. We believe in specialists, but not in tunnel visions.
I'd like to see people of Iron & Wine join up in governments who are led by persons we believe in. The last and current governments are fine to good, and a big step forward we believe to previous ones. Fine and good are just that, fine and good, However, we'd like to see excellence return to our nation.
I&W members as all people are free to choose to join a government or any other institution, however they are advised to not take such commitments lightly.
I&W and other parties:
We had a long time dealing with other parties, and generally had a good repour with most of them, as long as they stayed rational and civil.
Keypoints I'd like to engage in are: restoring of law and order, increasing responsibilities of government, education.
The real stuff, (not the fake kind). eNL is becoming a sourpuss if we don't watch out. The airstrike this government as co-organized by the fresh and fly MoF Garmr could be seen as a success in that regards. Hell we've even made it to a comic again (last time was years ago)!
Joining an alliance would be great fun!
Stay on point! It's increasingly confusing who stands for what these days. See last congress election results, and it's pretty much smeered across the board. I'd like us to set an example and standard how things should be done. I'd like I&W members to stay on point, whatever wherever is being debated or done. Let bygones be bygones, and ignore noobism and trolls. In communication with others, try to keep these rules by Washington in mind.
Daniel Parker
Party President of Iron & Wine
Ferrum et Vinum, Ad infinitum!

Was Ashley Judd's Kentucky Senate bid undone by rival Democrats? That's the charge Judd adviser Jonathan Miller is making today in a piece on The Daily Beast.
Mr. Miller, a former Kentucky state treasurer, writes that Democratic supporters of current Kentucky secretary of state Alison Lundergan Grimes kept up a steady stream of sniping at Ms. Judd via a credulous national mainstream media. Furthermore, some unnamed Democrat circulated a false report that Judd, at a private Louisville dinner, said "I have been raped twice, so I think I can handle Mitch McConnell."
"I was at that dinner and never heard her say anything remotely like that," writes Miller.
The last straw was news stories reporting that former President Bill Clinton had met with Ms. Grimes and was trying to force Judd out of the race. The problem here was that the Big Dog had met with Judd and actually urged her to run against incumbent GOP Senate minority leader McConnell, according to Miller.
"ABC News ultimately cleared up the record, but by then the narrative was set – the most popular national figure for Kentucky Democrats was opposed to a Judd candidacy, providing further oxygen to the anti-Ashley conflagration," writes Miller.
OK, we're not a Kentucky insider. We did not even put Louisville in our March Madness Final Four. (Go Wolverines!) But it seems pretty obvious to us that Judd's candidacy unraveled due to larger, basic political forces.
For instance, last time we looked Judd still lived in Tennessee. McConnell ran an ad in February that hit her hard for that, among other things. It had several clips of her saying stuff like, "Tennessee is home!" Yes, Judd was a delegate to the Democratic National Convention – from Tennessee. In a state as proud as Kentucky this was going to be a big problem, however deep her roots. Heck, non-residency would be a big problem in any state, proud or not.
And Judd has made many straightforward comments about policy that would get her in more trouble than the fictional reference linking "rape" and "McConnell." She's criticized mountaintop coal mining as "environmental genocide," for instance. Coal is a powerful industry in her state, and in many parts of Kentucky mountaintop removal mining is popular due to the jobs it represents.
"Ashley Judd is an egotistical brat from California," said Wayne Rutherford, Pike County judge-executive, back in 2010 after Judd made her mining comments.
And that's her final problem: the movie industry connection. It could bring her money and recognition and lots of blog-delivered page view publicity. But it also would let McConnell paint her as an out-of-touch Hollywood liberal bent on forcing everyone in America to drive hybrids to their government health care. And Kentucky is a red state: last fall it went for Mitt Romney over Barack Obama by 61 to 38 percent.
So that's why we think Judd decided not to run. She took a look at the electoral context and decided she did not want to undertake a race that she would more than likely lose.
That doesn't mean there's not some truth to what Miller says. But as Esquire's Charles P. Pierce notes, complaining that party rivals hit your candidate with sharp elbows and reporters hungry for a story were eager to print whatever they felt like is tantamount to whining about reality. If you can't take that heat, get back to the film studio.
"Making the argument that her candidacy was doomed at the start because other Democrats did her dirt, or because a bogus 'narrative' was created by the national media is the functional equivalent of saying that she didn't run because she got up one morning, faced east, and found that the sun was in her eyes," writes Mr. Pierce.

Friendly And Very Accommodating Hotels
When I learned that my daughter is one of the delegates in PALARONG Pambansa next month, I hurriedly turn my computer on and inquire for some hotels near the event. One of the hotels that are very accommodating when I checked the Lingayen Pangasinan was the Presidents Hotel, although he told me that they are already fully booked and yet he asked me of my cellphone number that if there's apartment available for me, he would just message me. I also got his number so I could make a follow up. As I thought that the swimming competition will held in Pangasinan, I went over from the lists I stumbled on the net, and I found the Hotel Consuelo Resort and Chinese Restaurant, the girl on the other line told me that they are also fully booked but she gave me a number of a person who have a house for rent in Pangasinan, I tried to contact him but the weather did not permit me so, it was raining cats and dogs here when I called the guy. I didn't have enough funds in my cellphone so I was not able to make a follow up call, after a while my friend called me and told me that we will not be staying in Pangasinan but in Dagupan because the swimming pool where they held their swimming competition is in Dagupan, I was so silly asking for room rates only to find out that we will not be staying there. Moreover, I still need to call some hotels in Dagupan tomorrow; I am crossing my finger that there are still rooms available for us.
If you want to find a hotel in Lingayen Pangasinan here's the contact number of President Hotel (075) 542-3056; 0919-8726846 and for Hotel Consuelo Resort their contact number is (075) 542-8932

Two months ago, I participated in the Science-Engineering-Technology Congressional Visits Day (SET-CVD) in Washington, DC. It's organized by a bunch of scientific organizations, and I learned about it through the American Geophysical Union.
Basically, it's a day when ~200 scientists are on Capitol Hill, and this year, our goal was to ask Members of Congress not to cut basic science funding. In the past, our "ask" was to increase spending on basic science, but given the economy and the political situation, it seemed more practical to ask for the level of funding to stay the same than to ask for more.
I ended up talking only with congressional staffers instead of the Members of Congress (which is pretty normal), and it was a great learning experience. Here's a quick overview of what I learned:
- Every single day, there are hundreds of people on Capitol Hill all asking for something from Members of Congress. On the day I went, there were people in military uniforms, people with purple Alzheimer Disease banners, people with large cowboy hats and Southern accents (ranchers? Texans?), and a lot more people in costumes/outfits I didn't recognize. Every day, Members of Congress (or more often, their staffers) have to meet with constituents all day who are asking for one thing or another. If you want to get the attention of a Member of Congress, it helps to show up and ask in person.
- There are a fair number of scientists working on Capitol Hill. A number of scientific organizations (AAAS, AGU, SSSA, GSA, etc.) have science policy fellowships for folks with Ph.D.'s in science so there are some really smart people working on Capitol Hill, trying to solve problems. The problem, according to some of the more experienced staffers, is a decrease in collegiality between Members of Congress in recent years. More on that in the next bullet.
- There's a lot less socializing going on between members of different political parties. Historically, members from both political parties would live in DC when congress was in session, usually in the same neighborhood. Now, being a "Washington insider" is a bad thing so people tend to go back to their home states on the weekends or commute back during the evenings if they live in nearby states. I suppose it's easier to treat members of the other party as the enemy when you don't have to worry about those awkward moments when you run into them at the local coffee shop or the gym. There's also the whole issue about compromise = you're a traitor to the party (although that seems to be the case more in one party that another — I've heard of more discussions of RINOs than DINOs). I'm sure there's a lot more to the dysfunction going on in U.S. Congress than these two issues, but they seem to be relatively important contributors to the dysfunction.
I also talked to staffers from the Committee of Foreign Relations, and I was so happy to chat with them. This committee works with other countries on issues like the Kyoto Protocol and other international policies. We talked about strategies for how to deal with climate change and reframing the situation to be more about resilience: resilience to unpredictable weather, to problems with energy security, to changes in crop yields, to increased air pollution from smog, etc. Politicians from all parties seem to be a lot more open to conversations about resilience than climate change so I would like to think that there's hope.
If you're a scientist, I highly recommend going to a CVD if you ever have the opportunity.

Description: The santoku is the traditional Japanese chef's knife. This comfortable design is a fantastic multipurpose chopper for fruits, vegetables, and meat. The Santoku style has quickly become the new favorite for chefs in the West.
The blade is forged using the san mai technique - a hard steel forms the cutting edge and is sandwiched between softer layers of steel. This results in a strong knife with very long edge holding. The core steel is aogami #2 carbon steel -- among the best carbon steels coming out of Japan. It was heat treated to Hrc 60-61) for a high performance, durable edge. A distal taper results in a perfect balance. The satin finished (migaki) sides of the knife have been convex ground to help food fall away from the side of the knife when slicing and chopping.
The bubinga handle fits comfortably and securely in the hand. It is formed from warm toned bubinga. The tang locks into the wood handle with a unique mechanism resulting in one of the strongest and most durable handles found on any knife. Each knife is sent in a nice gift box.

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. – Host Smith College rattled off 10 unanswered points during the final six minutes of regulation to defeat the MIT women's basketball team, 58-46, in a NEWMAC contest on Saturday afternoon. Freshman Durva Bhandare (North Brunswick, N.J.) compiled 11 points, seven assists, four rebounds, and two steals for the Engineers who fell to 7-9 on the season and 3-7 in conference play.
Freshman Maya Ramachandran (Fremont, Calif.) tallied 14 points, 11 rebounds, and five blocks as senior Lauren Sascha Burton (Seattle, Wash.) registered eight boards, six points, and three assists for the Cardinal and Gray. Junior Rachel Hunt (Arlington Heights, Ill.) posted five rebounds and three blocks as freshman Sabrina Drammis (Hilton Head Island, S.C.) chipped in six points and five boards.
Smith inched out to a 10-4 lead but MIT responded with a 9-2 spurt which put it in front, 13-12, with 6:35 on the clock. A layup by the Pioneers resulted in an exchange of baskets until Bhandare sank one of her own to tie the game at 17. Following a Smith turnover, Burton buried a three-pointer which was countered by a basket from the Pioneers that narrowed the gap to one (20-19). The Engineers replied by outscoring Smith, 9-4, during the final three minutes of the half as Bhandare converted a layup right before time expired for a 29-24 cushion at the intermission.
The Pioneers opened the second stanza with six straight points but MIT reclaimed the lead courtesy of a bucket from Hunt. Following two Smith free throws, sophomore Mari Kordell (Ijamsville, Md.) buried a three-pointer to give the Engineers a 34-32 edge at the 15:02 mark. In a span of four minutes, the Pioneers generated eight unanswered points to go ahead for good. MIT slowly chipped away at the deficit as a trey from Burton brought it within two (48-46) with 6:25 left to play. A pair of free throws less than a minute later helped spark Smith's game-ending run.
MIT continues NEWMAC play on Wednesday, January 23 when it hosts Wellesley College.

Former two-time Toyota Racing Series champion Mitch Evans showed he hasn't lost his touch.
In a one-off gig at round four of the TRS championship at Hampton Downs, Evans quickly came to grips with a car that he hasn't raced in a year.
The young Aucklander was competing at the weekend to get a few race kilometres under his belt before heading to Europe in preparation for his tilt at the GP2 championship.
Form can be fickle but class is permanent, and Evans proved his pedigree by setting pole in both qualifying sessions and then proceeding to win the opening race on Saturday, finish fourth in yesterday's first race and then take the prestigious New Zealand Motor Cup in the afternoon.
"The weekend definitely gives me a bit of confidence heading into a pretty big year for me," said Evans. "It's good to know that I'm still competitive and able to win races against some very tough competition and I'm absolutely rapt."
In race one Evans hooked up well when the lights went out and led the field into turn one from Briton Alex Lynn. The race was red flagged after Bruno Bonifacio mounted the rear of Jann Mardenborough's car to end up high in the air.
At the restart Evans and Lynn were at it hammer and tongs again but the Briton couldn't get past as there was too much debris off the racing line.
"We had a great battle out there but there weren't many places I could safely have a go at overtaking. Mostly I just stayed in Mitch's mirrors and looked for a mistake," said Lynn.
Pipo Derani came home third with Cassidy fourth and Auer fifth, meaning Cassidy extended his lead in the championship to 11 points.
Taking advantage of the reverse top four finishers grid for race two, Cassidy took off like Lance Armstrong on steroids to take his first win of the series and further extend his lead over Auer in the championship.
Derani backed up his race-one result with another podium finish with Auer rounding out the top three, and Lynn came home fifth to settle into third place in the race for the title.
"It was good to get that little monkey [first race win] off my back but even better to get a bit more of a points buffer in the championship over Lucas in the series," said Cassidy.
The series is nicely poised for a major showdown in Manfeild next weekend with any one of five drivers in with a chance to get his name on the TRS trophy. There is also the small matter of the New Zealand Grand Prix title up for grabs - one of only two FIA-recognised GP titles outside Formula One.
In eight years of the championship an overseas driver has yet to leave New Zealand with a TRS title. Defending champion Cassidy sits atop the points table heading to Feilding after extending his lead further after the feature race, but he has four internationals snapping at his heels.
TRS points
After four rounds:
1 Nick Cassidy (New Zealand) 706
2 Lucas Auer (Austria) 674
3 Alex Lynn (UK) 654
4 Steijn Schothorst (Netherlands) 565
5 Felix Serralles (Puerto Rico) 561
6 Bruno Bonifacio (Brazil) 502

UPDATE: Xcel Energy Deploys 1,000 Line Workers Into Field
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Xcel Energy crews are bringing down the number of customers who remain without power.
Over half a million Xcel Energy customers in Minnesota and western Wisconsin lost power at various points in three waves of severe thunderstorms from early Friday to early Saturday. The Minneapolis-based utility says the number of customers without power was down to around 136,000 by late afternoon Saturday.
Kent Larson, senior vice president of operations for Xcel Energy, says more than 1,000 line workers will be in the field this weekend, including crews from throughout the Upper Midwest and Colorado, and crews from other utilities. He says they'll be working 16-hours shifts until all power is restored," said.
Xcel says it expects to restore power to the vast majority of its customers by Wednesday.

Designer Portfolio: Thomas O'Brien
Thomas O'Brien is one of those designers whose interior and furniture designs look discovered, not created. His work is timeless, drawing from a variety of periods and styles, and it never looks studied. The O'Brien style is both comfortable and exquisite, calm and eclectic. Let's take a look at this prolific designer's portfolio of inspirational interiors.
Thomas O'Brien interiors typically use a limited color palette of creamy neutrals paired with darker wood furniture. This chromatic discipline makes for spaces that are incredibly peaceful and airy without being at all minimalist or cold. It is virtually impossible to tell which furnishings are antique or vintage and which are new, since he blends old and new so seamlessly, never including anything too fancy or precious to be useful.
Indeed, despite the stylishness of O'Brien's interiors, functionality is obviously paramount. The sofas and chairs in his rooms look comfy and inviting, for one thing, and even though there is always an inspired mix of objects and furnishings, there is never anything resembling clutter.
His recent redecoration of his own loft reveals a shift towards collecting and eclecticism. In the above images, you can see O'Brien's home at three points in time, June 1998 (image 6), July 2006 (image 5) and November 2007 (image 4), and the progression towards texture and variety is unmistakable. But again, the objects enliven the space without overpowering it; the neutral backdrop is maintained throughout, preserving that trademark O'Brien calmness and sense of place.
Luckily, O'Brien has created several opportunities for us all to access his designs, in case hiring him to design your home isn't in this year's budget. His amazing housewares shop, Aero, combines O'Brien's original designs with well-edited antiques and international finds, and is probably the only store you will ever want to live in permanently (Seriously. I call dibs). Hickory Chair carries a line of O'Brien's designs (many of which are available at Aero), which perfectly walk the updated-traditional line. And you can accessorize with his tableware and decor from Target or Reed and Barton, depending on your price point. O'Brien has also designed Aero and Aero Retro bathroom hardware collections for Waterworks.
Thomas O'Brien's first book, American Modern, came out earlier this year.

Supercharging An Automatic Dodge Ram SRT10 - Blown Away!
Stock SRT10s Are No Match For This Supercharged Beast
We've road-tested Dodge's Viper-ized Ram truck several times, in every bed/cab configuration offered. We came to the conclusion that those who opted for the standard cab/six-speed manual version of this truck scored huge in the power department, and the guys who ordered a crew cab/automatic tranny truck got hosed by Mopar. The truck with the manual transmission gets with the program with insane acceleration and top-end performance, while the automatic...well, it's not setting the world on fire by any means. The automatic-equipped truck is a nice cruiser that makes a good high-performance commuter truck, if you don't care about fuel economy. But, what do you do if you want to feel like you really did get a 500hp engine in your truck? Call the guys at Roe Racing for a new supercharger for your Viper engine.
Roe Racing is a high-performance shop out of Green Cove Springs, Florida, with years of racing experience, research and development, and installation experience behind it. The company specializes in performance enhancement of Dodge Vipers and, more recently, Dodge Ram SRT10 sport trucks. Roe offers everything from pistons to high-flow induction systems and exhaust systems for the Ram. Its positive displacement supercharger system for the SRT10 is a well-engineered and finely tuned package that integrates cleanly into the confines of the Ram's engine bay.
Roe Racing confirmed our suspicions that the automatic trucks are putting fewer ponies to the wheels by strapping Demon Carburetors owner Barry Grant's yellow Quad Cab SRT10 to its chassis dyno. The dyno revealed that the Dodge was only putting 384 hp to the ground. That's a far cry from the 500-plus ponies the 10-cylinder V-10 engine cranks out. Roe Racing also noted that the Quad Cab automatic trans-equipped trucks routinely put out less power than their six-speed manual brethren on the chassis dyno. Why the drop in power? Parasitic losses brought on by transferring the power through the automatic transmission is one reason, but eating up this much power is abnormal. No one is sure why the power is down this far, but the new blower kit is an easy, if not inexpensive, fix. Here's a quick look at the kit, the installation on Barry's truck, and some pretty impressive dyno numbers.
What's under the hood?
If you have the need for speed and $6,499 in the bank, then your engine could look and perform like this one.The kit contains everything needed to make the upgrade, except for the tools to do the job. Larger injectors and an aluminum manifold with high-flow runners aid the cause. Sweet!

"Talent. It is number one," says William Kircher, P&W VP for overhaul and repair in Singapore and president of UTC Aerospace Singapore. "To be honest, for me, the next few [issues] on that list [of challenges] are far behind," he says, looking out of his office window at Seletar Aerospace Park, where he sees many new MRO facilities being built. "Singapore is fantastic at building infrastructure. They build the system to support us, but I think the demand for talent is an issue we are all addressing. It is one of the challenges for growth.
"We have to work for young people's attention," he says, adding that "there are a lot of job opportunities for young Singaporeans and now the unemployment rate here is about 1.8%," which is as good as no unemployment.
Singapore has been able to develop a large cluster of MRO businesses because it was one of the first countries in the world to target MRO companies, says Kircher, adding that it started on this path more than 30 years ago.
He says, "Over time they have developed some world-class infrastructure." He also says Singapore rates highly in terms of intellectual property rights, financial transparency and the quality of its workforce.
When it comes to helping MRO businesses to have qualified and skilled labor, "Singapore does cooperate with us at every level." He says the Singapore Institute of Technical Education, National University of Singapore and Nanyang Technological University all offer courses geared to the MRO sector. He also mentions that the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has established an Asia campus in Singapore.
Singapore is moving its aerospace industry up the value chain by encouraging MRO companies to do more complex, sophisticated MRO work. Its aerospace sector is also getting more involved in design work and manufacture of aerospace parts and components.
P&W has about 100 engineers at Seletar developing new repair techniques for engines, says Kircher.
The company has also built a new component repair facility at Seletar, P&W Component Solutions, that will repair and overhaul PW4000 high-pressure compressor air seals, split cases and ducts, as well as PW4000 low-pressure compressor stators. The PW4000 family of engines power some Boeing 777s, 747s, Airbus A330s, Airbus A310s and Airbus A300s.
Kircher says this new shop will use a special coating technology to coat the LP stators, and that this will be the first P&W facility outside of the U.S. to use such coating technology.
"The government recognizes that the benefit of being world leader in the high-value spaces, is you can adjust higher the labor cost [wages], because you are able to produce in a productive manner."
Singapore's decision to move into aerospace manufacturing, particularly manufacturing of engine parts and components, helps reinforce its position as a MRO hub. Increasingly, MRO companies need the support of the original equipment maker in order to maintain or overhaul parts and components. Original equipment makers such as P&W are deriving more and more of their revenue not from the sale of engines but from the maintenance of those engines.

Samantha & Scott needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 20 designs submitted by 7 freelance designers.
Reddy-Care Physical Therapy
Physical Therapist
We get many referrals from Orthopedic surgeons and therapists. So the site needs to show that we work well with the orthopedic profession and is "hands on". Through images, show that they are hands on.
We want an inviting atmosphere, lighter colors. Nothing heavy and gloomy. Very easy to navigate.
An example site from the client is this (it has lighter colors, but I don't feel it is polished and beautiful):
I have attached a wireframe I attached and the current site and istockphoto should give you the images you may need.
Also, please look at these examples:
We really like how the images "pop" out of these sites. We love the use of a big image that uses gradients and colored brushes on top or around the picture to make room for the "call to action" (like "Call Us Now For an Appointment". Then use faded gradients around the image to integrate the heading and form for them to fill out.
I made a quick movie to help one of the last designers. In it I discuss "polish" as defined here:
And here is my video critique:
Main Purpose:
1. Generate calls for new patients to want to come into the clinic.
2. Be an on-line brochure to answer questions.
Top 5 things we need:
1. Phone number prominent with a "call to action", to call and make an appt.
2. Capture contact info for newsletter.
3. Social buttons to easily join facebook, twitter, buzz.
Functionally, this is everything the home page needs (refer to the wireframe)
1. Logo, Phone #, and space for 3 - 5 pages in the top header.
2. Beautiful picture w/ call to action and an arrow or something subtle to point to the form on the right
3. a form containing a header, smaller description, name, phone, email, submit button and privacy statement.
4. Under that, a place for the main blog and a sidebar.
Lastly, I attached two samples of recent sites that are COMPLETELY the wrong style, but has all the functionality and polish we require.
I can't say it enough - imagery and polish, imagery and polish. I want it to look like it was created in 2010.

COLUMBUS — The Columbus Crew today announced that midfielder Eddie Gaven is retiring from professional soccer following 11 seasons in Major League Soccer. The 27-year-old concludes a distinguished playing career that includes more than 278 appearances, 51 goals and 37 assists in MLS regular-season competition. Since joining the Crew from the New York/New Jersey MetroStars in 2006, Gaven went on to become a midfield mainstay for the Black & Gold, helping the club to the 2008 and 2009 Supporters' Shields, along with the 2008 MLS Cup title against his former club. Gaven is stepping away from the game for personal reasons, having last represented the Crew on May 29, 2013 in a third-round Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup match against USL PRO side Dayton during a 2-1 victory. The midfielder sustained a season-ending knee injury in that contest. He departs Columbus as one of the club's elite performers, posting 209 appearances, 198 starts and 17,252 minutes of regular-season action over eight seasons in Black & Gold, all currently third on the club's all-time list.
At the time of his retirement, a total of 15 active field players in MLS had amassed more than 22,000 minutes, and Gaven – who turned 27 less than a week ago – was the youngest of that group. Widely respected for his fair play, Gaven was never issued a red card in his career and is one of just five field players in MLS history to play 22,000 minutes or more in a career without an ejection.
"I would like to thank my teammates, the Crew organization and the fans for all their support over the years," said Gaven. "I will always cherish the memories, especially winning MLS Cup in 2008. I am incredibly blessed to have been a professional soccer player and am extremely grateful to MLS and the Crew for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to fulfill my dream. For personal reasons, I will be retiring from professional soccer. I realize this may come as a surprise, but it is something I have been contemplating for some time, and after discussing it thoroughly with my family, I know in my heart that now is the right time to start the next chapter in my life. I wish the Crew nothing but the best moving forward. Thank you."
"I remember Eddie Gaven signing as a sixteen-year-old in New York and the immediate impact that he had on the League. We were very fortunate to acquire him, and he's been a rock for this club," said Crew President & General Manager Mark McCullers. "He's been someone we can rely on – a go-to guy who has been integral since his arrival. This is a big loss for us, but I can also understand that Eddie has been doing this for ten years now. For him to want to explore other options with his life and with his family is something I can certainly respect, and I have the utmost appreciation for Eddie Gaven. He's going to be missed."
Gaven began his storied 11-year career with the New York/New Jersey MetroStars in 2003 as a teenager, drafted with the 12th overall pick in the 2003 MLS SuperDraft. At 16 years, 232 days, he became the youngest player in MetroStars history and the second youngest in League history to debut in a June 14, 2003 tilt against Chicago. Less than a month later, Gaven became the second-youngest player in MLS history to score a goal on July 5, 2003 in a now-famous match in which he was subbed on as a goalkeeper. He would record an assist as well in his first MLS season before two monster years.
At 17 in 2004, he posted seven goals and seven assists (three were game-winning) in 29 appearances during a 32-match campaign en route to MLS Best XI honors. That year, Gaven also became the youngest player in MLS history to start in an MLS All-Star match, a feat he accomplished when lacing-up for the East All-Stars in the 3-2 win over the West at RFK Stadium. At 18, he followed-up with eight goals and four assists in 28 starts, missing MLS action for the 2005 FIFA World Youth Championship with the U.S. U-20 National team. In his three-year stint with the MetroStars – all before the age of 19 – Gaven amassed 16 goals, 12 assists in 69 appearances – including 62 starts. Before he was traded to the Crew, he had earned 5,526 regular-season minutes.
Gaven became the youngest player in Crew history to score a goal at an almost-veteran 19 years and 252 days in his first season with the Black & Gold in 2006. With the Crew, he led the club in appearances in a single season in 2006, 2007, 2009 and 2012 and led the team in minutes in three of those four campaigns (2006, 2009, 2012). The Crew's most fouled player all-time with 418 fouls suffered, he took the brunt of the teams fouls and led the club in each season from 2009-2012, generating plenty of scoring chances from free kicks and restarts.
His consistency in the Crew lineup remains his legacy. In the Crew's 220 regular-season matches from 2006-2012, Gaven appeared in 199 of them and started 188, the most of any Crew player during that time. It's no wonder then, that in 2012, at 25 years, 257 days, Gaven became the youngest player in MLS history to play in 250 matches, shattering the previous record by almost four years. Gaven made 15 appearances in MLS Cup Playoffs action, including 14 starts – nine of which were for the Crew. His most famous goal in postseason play was his 2008 Eastern Conference Championship strike against Chicago on November 13, 2008 that sent the Black & Gold to MLS Cup 2008.
Internationally, Gaven earned eight caps, including two starts, for the senior U.S. National Team. Gaven played for the U.S. at the U-23, U-20, U-17, U-16 and U-14 levels, including spots on the U.S. rosters for the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2005 and the FIFA U-17 World Championship in 2003.
"He played the game with integrity. You knew what you were going to get when Eddie stepped on the field," said Crew Interim Head Coach Brian Bliss. "Eddie was player who was very technically sound, with a good engine and a good vision of the field as well. Eddie's a consummate pro. He did that at a young age. You go back and look at how many young guys have signed with the League and within two, maybe three years have fizzled out. Eddie was able to sustain himself at a high level for a long period of time and should be looked at by a lot of young players as to how he approached the game. Eddie was the iron man; his durability will be his legacy."
The club also announced that it has parted ways with midfielder Matias Sanchez and forward Aaron Horton. The 25-year-old Sanchez joined the Crew in February on the heels of a storied career in the Argentine Primera Division with Estudiantes, where he played in 94 matches in all competitions from 2008-2012. He made 14 appearances – including 10 starts – and recorded one goal and one assist in 820 minutes of action with the Crew. Horton, the club's first-ever Homegrown Player, signed with the club on May 17, 2011. The Lewis Center, Ohio native made his MLS debut in a substitute appearance on June 8, 2011 against Real Salt Lake at Crew Stadium and scored his first professional goal in a friendly match against Barclays Premier League side Stoke City on July 24, 2012.
"We would like to thank Matias and Aaron for their hard work and contributions to our club," said Bliss. "We wish them both the best of luck in their future pursuits."

Justin Bieber References Tim Hortons + Ferris Bueller in New Freestyle
Justin Bieber made beliebers out of some skeptics this week. The 'Never Say Never' singer delivered an impressive freestyle on New York's Hot 97 hip-hop station.
Backed by nothing but a beat, the Biebs came out with a braggadocio flow. "Fast like Gordon / and my jams like Jordan / and my Timbz like Hortons / and my jets all are boarding," Bieber rapped. A Tim Hortons reference?! Bieber's creativity surprised even his fellow hip-hop heads in the room.
Knowing that most hip-hop fans didn't expect much from him, Bieber took a swipe at his haters. "Like this, mic this, so I can recite this / People in their basements say I didn't even write this." Bieber even combines his gastronomic and godly know-how in one line: "Cheese like gouda / and my soul like Buddha."
Not only does Bieber have a timeless flow, but he also cites timeless movies — from before he was born! "And I don't need Luda to know that I'm the ruler / And I'm so much cooler you should call me Ferris Bueller."
We just wonder how girlfriend Selena Gomez feels about one line in particular: "Number one hits / I got number one flicks / And the number one kicks / And the number one chicks." Why is that plural, Biebs?!
Hot 97 DJ Rosenberg was taken aback at Bieber's talent. "I'm gonna give credit where credit is due," Rosenberg said. "A Tim Hortons reference, a Ferris Bueller reference — New York salutes you."

Rokita and United States Attorney Announce Indictments in Investment Scheme
Contact: AJ Freeney-Ruiz
South Bend, IN - Today, Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita and United States Attorney Joseph Van Bokkelen announced that a Grand Jury sitting in South Bend, Indiana, returned a 20-count indictment charging Thomas and Marietta Squibb with mail fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, in violation of 18 U.S.C. §§ 371, 1341, and 1343. The indictment charges that, since at least 1995, the Squibbs conspired to solicit investments to develop campgrounds in four Michigan cities - Charlevoix, Lansing, South Haven, and Traverse City - and condominiums in Naples, Florida, and used the mail and interstate wires to advance this scheme. In fact, the Squibbs did not use investors' funds to develop campgrounds in the four Michigan cities or to develop condominiums in Naples.
These charges were filed as a result of an investigation by the Rokita's office working in conjunction with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. This case has been assigned to and will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jesse M. Barrett. In April, Rokita's office filed a civil complaint in St. Joseph County Circuit Court to freeze the Squibbs assets for the benefit of allegedly defrauded investors. That action remains pending.
"The Squibbs represent some of worst elements of white collar crime out there," Rokita said. "The cooperation between our office's Prosecution Assistance Unit, the US Attorney's Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation made it possible to take the first steps in holding the Squibbs accountable for their crimes, as well as protecting the integrity of commerce in Indiana."
The Secretary of State's Prosecution Assistance Unit (PAU) first received a complaint against the Squibbs in January and began investigating. The Prosecution Assistance Unit was created by Rokita and his Securities division in 2004 to further existing investigations and facilitate local law enforcement's prosecution of alleged Securities Act violations. The focus of the PAU is to assist state court prosecutors in an effort to work together at the courthouse and statehouse to root out this white-collar crime. Thus far, the elite white-collar crime unit has helped file charges in 22 of the worst investment fraud cases in Indiana. The Unit has delivered a 15 to 1 Conviction-to-Dismissal record with over 150 years of jail time sentenced to-date.
Thomas Squibb represented to investors that, if money was invested with Squibb Ventures for these projects, he could provide high, guaranteed rates of return over short periods of time. Thomas Squibb also informed investors that, if something happened to him, Marietta Squibb could handle the investments because she was aware of them. Marietta Squibb signed promissory notes, received correspondence from investors, and called investors regarding their investments.
In particular, the Squibbs represented that, on behalf of a millionaire in Michigan, they were developing campgrounds affiliated with Kampgrounds of America ("KOA"). Thomas Squibb said that this millionaire wanted the campgrounds developed for his children. The Squibbs told investors that only a limited number could participate in the development of each campground. To entice investors, Thomas Squibb represented that their investments were loans, and that any earnings were not taxable. He also told investors that their funds would be held in an escrow account and would be returned within thirty days upon request. To memorialize these transactions, the Squibbs provided investors with promissory notes stating that the Squibbs would repay the principal to the investors, and would pay interest at a certain percent per annum, on particular dates. To obtain money from investors, Thomas Squibb would require the investors to wire money to his bank accounts or mail checks to him, or would personally receive the checks from the investors.
Rather than using investors' money for the identified developments, the Squibbs simply withdrew the money from their bank accounts for other purposes or used the funds to pay other investors. When payments to investors were delayed, the Squibbs provided multiple excuses, including that the wife of the millionaire in Michigan had died; that the Squibbs did not have the millionaire's telephone number; that the millionaire was traveling outside the United States; that there were delays in obtaining approval from zoning, health, and environmental authorities; that there were inaccuracies in documents relating to the properties; that previous owners of the properties refused to cooperate in transferring ownership; that a lawsuit relating to one of the properties was postponing its development; and that an underground lake had been discovered beneath one of the properties.
The Squibbs obtained millions of dollars in investments from hundreds of investors over at least a decade. The total amount of principal that was not returned to investors exceeds $3 million, not including promised interest payments. The Squibbs used more than 10 bank accounts to accomplish this scheme.
The specific sentences to be imposed upon conviction will be determined by the judge after a consideration of federal sentencing statutes and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines. Secretary Rokita and the United States Attorney's Office emphasize that an indictment is merely an allegation and that all persons charged are presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty in court.
To combat the problem of Americans losing an estimated $40 billion each year to securities fraud, Secretary Rokita's office has taken unprecedented steps to educate Hoosier investors on how to avoid becoming victims of investment fraud. Rokita reminds Hoosiers there is no such thing as a "completely safe" investment. Investors are encouraged to do their homework and check out investment opportunities by visiting his website, www.IndianaInvestmentWatch.com or by calling 1-800-223-8791. "Remember: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is," said Rokita.

2013 Annual Meeting
Montréal, Québec, Canada | November 1-5, 2013
Eun G. Park, McGill University
Qing Zou, McGill University
Matthew Milner, McGill University
Monday, 1:30pm
Making Publics (MaPs) examined voluntary forms of publics in early modern Europe 1500-1700 and resulted in the creation of a corpus of databases of people, places, and artifacts. These databases catalogue the nearly 2,000 works cited in over 200 articles, papers, books, and essays written by its members, referencing people, places, things, and their interactions on various topics, such as common interests, tastes and desires in early modern Europe. MaPs allows its users to continue this research in public making through collaboration, collating new references to people, places, things that make up the forms of association around shared interests and topics. Throughout 2012, we re-envisaged how the website might operate to further research as well as present the research findings of the project which ended in 2010. Central to this was consideration of how a web application might serve to both organize and foster ongoing research, and make that research data available to other humanities users in the form of Linked Open Data.
This panel will demonstrate our approaches that transform seemingly unorganized humanities research information into data using a Resource Description Framework (RDF) repository. Its overall purpose has been to explore what a networked-approach to humanities data might look like using RDF principles on the one hand and to disseminate this humanistic data to academic and non-academic audiences.

With his ruthless victory in Malaysia, Vettel finds himself being cast as F1 villain
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – As Sebastian Vettel has established himself as the most dominant Formula One driver of his generation, racing fans have come to see him as the boyish, fun-loving face of the glamorous sport.
But after his victory in the Malaysian Grand Prix on Sunday, a more complex image of the German has emerged — that of a ruthless, cunning driver who will do whatever it takes to win a race and possibly his fourth consecutive drivers' championship.
The 25-year-old German ignored team orders and overtook Red Bull teammate Mark Webber for the victory with just 10 laps remaining. The move left Webber fuming and raised questions about who is truly in charge at Red Bull.
"I think it blemished his reputation," three-time Formula One champion Jackie Stewart said.
"It was an unfortunate error of judgment by Sebastian and it will linger for some time," Stewart told The Associated Press. "There will be an awareness from now on that he may not be as stable as we originally thought. I personally would not have expected that to happen following the manner in which he has conducted himself in races."
Since winning his first F1 race in 2008 with Toro Rosso, Vettel proved he was one of the sport's most exciting drivers and has frequently been compared to the sports greats including fellow country and seven-time champion Michael Schumacher. After coming back to win the championship last year, Vettel became the first driver to win three titles in a row since Schumacher won five straight from 2000-04. The only other driver to win at least three consecutive championships was Juan Manuel Fangio from 1954-57.
Along the way, Vettel has showcased a persona that is almost boring in racing circles. Rather than model girlfriends, tattoos and nights spend at glitzy discos, Vettel comes off as modest in person and talks on the Red Bull website about his mother's home cooking and how there are things more important than one's "bank account."
On the track, he has proven to be aggressive but rarely reckless during his championship run. While Mercedes Lewis Hamilton had several run-ins with Ferrari's Felipe Massa in 2011 and Lotus driver Romain Grosjean caused several first-lap crashes last year, Vettel seemed content with simply winning races or doing enough to keep his championship title intact.
He did some of his best racing in the latter part of 2012, overcoming Ferrari's Fernando Alonso with a string of four straight victories down the stretch on the Asian swing. He also showed he could overcome adversity, finishing only one place behind Alonso in Abu Dhabi despite starting in the pits due to a penalty in qualifying for fuel irregularities. It preserved his championship title lead.
But Vettel also has shown signs of impatience, most troubling in 2010 when Webber was ahead of him in a race. That time, the two cars crashed when Vettel tried to overtake, spoiling what was a near-certain 1-2 finish.
He was largely forgiven for the Turkey crash, partly due to his youth.
But the latest incident has set off a firestorm of criticism on F1 websites and Twitter in which the German is portrayed for the first time as a villain. The British press has been especially tough, calling him egotistical, selfish and even immoral. Fans have called for him to be punished in some way — possible suspended for a race.
But others like Former F1 driver David Coulthard have been more forgiving.
In a column for the BBC, Coulthard said Vettel showed more humility than Schumacher did for several infamous infractions on the track. He noted that Schumacher took weeks to apologize for running Jacques Villeneuve off the track in their title decider in Jerez 1997 and has never apologized for "parking his car in qualifying at Monaco in 2006 to stop Fernando Alonso beating him to pole position."
"Those who like him will sympathize and listen to his words," he said of Vettel. "Those who don't will microanalyse and look for hidden meaning, but at a certain point you have to take people at face value."
Vettel hasn't responded beyond the apology he made minutes after the victory and it seems the team is standing by its top driver.
Team principal Christian Horner didn't defend Vettel's actions, but also tried to downplay the controversy. He said it would be discussed internally, though Red Bull has yet to say whether that was done.
"Obviously it wasn't right what he did. He accepts that," Horner told reporters. "He clearly said if he could wind the clocks back he wouldn't do it again. That is the way it is we need to put it behind us. We need to move on. It's not like it hasn't happened before."
Horner also predicted it wouldn't impact the team's chemistry.
"They have won three consecutive constructors' championships together, 35 victories between them. They are one of most successful pairings of all time," he said. "For sure, they have not ever been best of mates and they never will spend Christmas together. There is respect between the two of them. I'm sure with a little time to reflect we will quickly move on from that."
Critics wonder if it will be that easy — after their display Sunday.
Rather than hugging a celebrating the 1-2 finish, the drivers in a surreal scene refused to even acknowledge one another after the race. They turned away from each other on the podium, spraying champagne in the opposite direction. And when Vettel apologized, he looked out at the media, rather than at Webber who was seated beside him.
Some have suggested Webber could leave the team, although his father said he will be racing Sunday and Stewart said the Australian will remain at Red Bull for now because he wouldn't be able to find a more competitive car.
"I don't think there is anywhere better for Mark to be," Stewart said. "If Mark would go anywhere else, it would be to Ferrari. But Mark would face same problems with (Fernando) Alonso at Ferrari as he would face with Vettel at Red Bull."
If he doesn't leave, it could benefit the other teams as the season progresses.
McLaren's Jenson Button, who had his own troubles with former teammate Hamilton, told the Daily Mail that he doubts the issue will go away anytime soon and that it could lead to the two drivers fighting among themselves, rather than concentrating on other title contenders.
"Hopefully, it does help us," he said.

The Battery Creek shellfish bed in Beaufort County is open for harvesting again after contamination from a sewage spill closed it one month ago.
The reopening means the public may collect oysters and clams without fear of getting the illness vibrio and the vomiting, diarrhea, fever and abdominal cramps that come with it. The public will also be saved a $470 penalty that is imposed for breaking the law by harvesting from a closed shellfish bed.
"These areas have been reopened because water quality sampling results indicate bacteria levels are suitable for clam and oyster harvesting," said Mike Pearson, manager of the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control's Shellfish Sanitation program, in a statement.
DHEC spokesman Adam Myrick said the factors that typically lead to clear test results and a bed's reopening usually involve letting nature take its course and dilute the water that is being monitored.
The danger of contaminated shellfish beds is caused by Vibrio vulnificus, which is a bacterium in the same family as those that cause cholera, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Myrick said a commercial harvester who has been given maps and can be expected to have a professional awareness of the approved, unapproved and closed areas could be fined the maximum of $200. The amount totals $470, including court costs and administrative fees and also means the loss of a days catch. Law enforcement typically gives recreational harvesters who break the law a warning and confiscate any shellfish that were harvested.
"Law enforcement are out up and down the coast every day, monitoring this and doing what it is they do, which is protecting the public health and making sure no one is in violation," said Myrick.
