2014 KTM 250 EXC SIX DAYS: Mission "SIX DAYS"
The 250 EXC - "READY TO RACE" for the world's largest enduro competition, the "International Six Days Enduro". Six days in succession, over a thousand offroad kilometres, 40 hours in the saddle - a gruelling test, not only for the rider. A whole package of high-quality special options makes the KTM 250 EXC fit for this ruthless contest, in which more than half the starters bank on KTM every year. 250 EXC Six Days - only authentic with the orange powder-coated frame of the KTM Factory Team. No other brand is anywhere near as strongly and successfully represented in offroad sport as KTM. This is particularly clear in the world's largest enduro competition, the "International Six Days Enduro" (ISDE), where more than 500 enduro riders from over 30 countries compete for the World Team Championship. A marathon enduro race that places just as high demands on the motorcycles as it does on the riders. That's why year after year more than half the competitors place their trust in the tried and tested products from Austria. In 2013, the Six Days Race will be held on the Italian island of Sardinia. Those who want to arrive safely at the finish on the demanding, rocky terrain will have to make no compromises. In the form of the new Six Days models, KTM offers well-proven, robust machines that fully satisfy the high demands of this extraordinarily tough competition.
2014 KTM 250 EXC SIX DAYS Features and Benefits:
Performance Aplenty:
Air Box
The airbox on the KTM 250 EXC Six Days allows maximum air to pass through, but minimum dust and spray. Replacement of the twin-air filter takes approx. 15 seconds, without any tools. Absolutely "READY TO RACE".
Optimised Engine
The engine has a redesigned reed valve housing featuring Boyesen high-performance reeds. Thanks to the innovations, performance has been optimised and responsiveness improved. Ignition curve and cylinder head have been optimised and the carburettor setting adjusted. The new developments make the 250 EXC Six Days even more rideable.
Adjustable Ignition Curve
By opening and closing a plug connection on the KTM 250 EXC Six Days, a choice can be made between the standard ignition curve and a softer version. Those who prefer even greater convenience can buy a switch from the PowerParts range.
Linear Power Development
Plenty of power from the bottom up and controllable rideability throughout the rev range. The response of the exhaust control system can be individually tuned by means of different springs. This way, everyone can very easily vary the power development of their EXC (also combinable with the two ignition curves) between "soft" and "aggressive" in a matter of seconds. And the reed valve block on the250 EXC Six Days delivers perceptibly better acceleration and more homogeneous power development.
Cylinder Head
A new cylinder head with optimised combustion chamber makes its debut in MY 2014, delivering more effective combustion and above all better responsiveness in the partial load range. This results in better power development and optimised rideability. In addition, a more powerful battery is fitted to the 2014 model, making starting all the more reliable.
DDS Clutch
The single-piece outer hub of the further optimised DDS (Damped Diaphragm Steel) clutch is machined along with its primary gear from a solid block of high-strength steel. This process guarantees unbeatable reliability and allows the engine to be extremely narrow thanks to the compact, rivetless design of the outer clutch hub. In addition, this design allows use of thin steel discs, which also contributes to the compact dimensions of the clutch. The diaphragm spring enables implementation of an additional hub damping mechanism - a benefit in terms of traction and gearbox wear. Furthermore, an optimised inner clutch hub improves the durability of the clutch. Finally, in conjunction with the diaphragm spring, the hydraulic clutch actuation system from Brembo ensures very smooth and very precise clutch control.
Electric Starter
The KTM 250 EXC Six Days is equipped with both kick and electric starters. This simplifies starting the bike in all situations. With its patented placement in a longitudinal direction above the ignition, the compact starter system is optimally protected and provides a decisive advantage in hard offroad use.
Superior Chassis:
Individual Suspension Settings
Each EXC model has its own individual suspension settings, optimally tuned to weight and engine. At the rear, a PDS shock absorber from WP Suspension works with a direct linkage to the upper side of the swingarm. The wide range of setting options for rebound damping and high- and low-speed compression damping are standard on KTM bikes.
The modern frame design of the 250 EXC Six Days, comprising lightweight, high strength, chrome-molybdenum steel section tubes, combines maximum longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional stiffness. It guarantees easy handling and precise steering behaviour, as well as excellent ride stability. So the new frame not only shines with the new colour, it also clearly represents the benchmark in terms of weight and stability.
The cast aluminium swingarm has been developed with state-of-the-art calculation and simulation software and constructed, in terms of design and wall thickness, for minimum weight with optimum stiffness and precisely defined flexibility. For the 2014 model year, our engineers have revised the chainguide for the benefit of higher functional reliability, while simultaneously reducing the weight.
Telescopic Fork
The KTM Six Days models are equipped with a 48 mm 4CS closed-cartridge fork from WP Suspension. The 4-chamber technology (4CS) patented by WP not only provides a key benefit in terms of responsiveness and consistent damping characteristics, it is also lighter and oil services prove to be far simpler than on the conventional closed-cartridge versions. The setting has been made slightly stiffer and sportier for the 2014 model year to give the fork even more reserves on extremely rutted tracks as well. Naturally, the setting can easily be adapted to track and rider in a matter of a few clicks at the top of the fork: compression damping on the left-hand shaft, rebound damping on the right - another advantage of the 4CS technology.
Triple Clamp
Meticulously finished triple clamps, machined from a solid block: Not only do they look classy in anodised orange; they are also designed in such a way that they support the responsiveness and sliding behaviour of the new fork with their special shaping. The attachment points on the lower triple clamp have been adapted for new front fenders for the 2014 model year.
High Quality Wheels
The high quality, alloy wheels from GIANT made of extremely stable 7050 aluminium, featuring exclusive Six Days lettering and CNC-machined hubs, are standard on all KTM Six Days models. The MAXXIS FIM tyres provide excellent traction, very precise directional control and a long service life. An additional Six Days standard feature: the Supersprox 2-piece rear sprocket with steel outer ring and aluminium star.
High-tech brakes from Brembo have always been standard equipment on KTM offroad bikes and, together with the lightweight wave brake discs, they are the measure of all things in terms of brake technology. A new handbrake armature has been employed for the 2014 model year, with new remote reservoir, smaller brake piston diameter and a new lever with optimised lever kinematics. As a result and thanks to optimised sintered brake pads (Toyo B169), the performance and application of the front brake have been perceptibly improved again.
Slim Ergonomics For Perfect Control:
The KTM 250 EXC Six Days has bodywork with extremely slim ergonomics and excellent contact points between rider and machine. It provides unlimited freedom of movement. For MY 2014, the bike excels again with the graphics restyled in 2013 in the colours of the ISDE in Germany.
The 250 EXC Six Days is equipped with a tapered Neken handlebar made from high-strength aluminium alloy. In accordance with the proven KTM standard, the handlebar can be fixed in a choice of four positions. Redesigned handguards made from ultra-sturdy 2-component plastic have been fitted for the 2014 model year, ensuring more efficient hand protection. The newly installed clutch armature from Brembo has been adapted to the appearance of the brake armature.

Story highlights
- Mitt Romney's linguistic culture is increasingly becoming obsolete, says John McWhorter
- Our era prefers a folksier voice in our candidates for high office, McWhorter says
- McWhorter: As a black American, Barack Obama comes to folksy cadence naturally
- For decades, the warmer speaker has won the election, says McWhorter
If language has anything to do with winning an election -- and it does (see below) -- we don't need recent news that Obama is ahead in key swing states to teach us who's going to be president for the next four years. The way Obama speaks and the way his campaign uses language will go a long way in warming the hearts of those who vote more on the basis of the gut than on policy details or preset commitments.
Romney's recent surmises on how cultural differences have determined the differing fates of Israel and the Palestinians have an analogue here. Romney and Obama come from different linguistic cultures, and unfortunately for Romney, his is increasingly obsolete.
Romney not only looks but talks "like a president." Few consider Obama's speaking style un-presidential either, but Romney's speaking style, that of the airline pilot or the man in the GPS saying "Turn right," is even more of what we think of as how the commander in chief talks.
However, that vision -- informed by memories of FDR, JFK, and Martin Sheen's President Bartlett on "The West Wing" -- is now out of step with what really stirs people in their guts about public figures. The cool, WASP-y voice now has an archaic ring to it, redolent of what Boomers long ago dismissed as the Establishment.
Our era prefers a folksier voice, in real life, in movies, in music and even in our candidates for high office. This is partly due to the egalitarian preferences that the 1960s counterculture left in its wake, and partly that nonstop television and web coverage simulates intimacy. Even Hillary Clinton tried to fake a Joe Sixpack cadence speaking to working-class white audiences in 2008, in a way that neither FDR nor JFK would have dreamed of trying to pull off.
Obama, however, comes to folksy cadence naturally. It's part of his speech repertoire as a black American. Some think him "fake" when sounding preacherly in speeches to the NAACP, but they miss that Obama is doing just what most black Americans do 24/7, sliding between two ways of talking: vanilla and chocolate. Romney's stuck with the vanilla, while Obama even mixes in a bit of chocolate in mainstream speeches.
As such, he has a warmer speech presence. His very intonation of "Yes, we can!" was indicative: it would have sounded hollow in the mouths of Hillary Clinton or John Edwards and downright pathetic from John McCain. His repeated incantations of "Pass this bill" in his address to Congress last September made his address sound almost like a church sermon. The approachability of his cadence makes even the swipes he takes at Republicans sound less barbed than they would from Romney.
We hear often that the taller candidate always wins. It's also true that for decades, the warmer speaker has. George W. Bush's Texan inflections made both Al Gore and John Kerry sound like schoolteachers. Bill Clinton's light, scratchy drawl created an instant approachability that made Bush the father sound like a patrician and Bob Dole like the Viagra pitchman he eventually became.
Yet, even Bush the father sounded approachable and "nice" -- recall Dana Carvey's send-up -- compared with Michael Dukakis' beige speaking style. Ronald Reagan, smiling with a dusting of wry, sounded like your grandfather. Jimmy Carter, despite the Georgia accent, always sounded a bit sad and sanctimonious, while Walter Mondale sounded like your accountant.
The language gulf between Obama and Romney is even on view on their websites. Romney's, as I write, is bedecked with moral responsibility and learn the truth, negatives like Obama Isn't Working, and the petulant You did build that. Meanwhile, Obama's site gives us snapshot, faces, listen up, loving, and chocolate (all of which also could be taken as evoking the Obamas as a family!).
To voters on the fence, what will appeal more: truth and responsibility or snapshots and chocolate? The answer is clear. In an ideal world for Romney, his media coaching would include Henry Higgins-style speech lessons from Chris Rock or Louis C.K.
Short of that, a presidential candidate who sounds like your father's history teacher is dragging along quite the linguistic ball and chain.

The School of History is home to a large and diverse community of over 150 postgraduate students pursuing either one of a number of taught programmes on offer, or engaging in original research for an advanced postgraduate degree.
As one of the country's leading centres for historical research the School of History provides an active and cohesive academic setting for postgraduate study. The School brings together over fifty members of staff - several of them leading, internationally recognised authorities - working in many different fields of History and is also home to a number of institutes and research centres, as well as projects and research groups.
Postgraduate Students at St Andrews benefit from an strong and supportive network of facilities.
Research Degrees
More than 100 PhD theses are currently being undertaken by postgraduates students in the School of History, attesting to the School's commitment to fostering innovative research and early careers. Click here for a list of recent theses completed in the School (some can be read online).
Many of these postgraduate students have been attracted to St Andrews by their wish to be supervised by a certain member of staff, often a leading contributor to his or her field. The research interests of members of staff range from 6th century Scotland to America in the 1970s and with over fifty active researchers the number of areas of expertise is very large.
In addition to the academic relationship which doctoral students will develop individually with their supervisor, these students are also part of a large and active research community. Formally this community includes the Institutes and Centres within the School and the regular seminars which run throughout the semesters. A more informal postgraduate community is maintained through dedicated communal workspace, reading parties and a range of postgraduate social events.
Our students have the opportunity to study abroad as part of their PhDs, either as part of formal co-tutelle (joint supervision) arrangements with another university, or through the Erasmus exchange programme. Further details can be found on the School Postgraduate Study Abroad page.
Doctoral students are also part of a geographically wider research community. For example, the French Centre has connections with the Institute on Napoleon and the French Revolution at Florida State University; the Reformation Studies Institute has a collaboration with the Institute for Swiss Reformation History in Zurich; and the Institute for Transnational History is a member of the GRAINES network. Students are strongly encouraged to participate in conferences, seminars and workshops outwith St Andrews while they are carrying out their doctoral research.
The School of History is also keen to promote the future careers of its students while they are at St Andrews, and has been greatly encouraged by the number of former doctoral students now in academic posts. In addition to encouraging contact with other institutions, the School offers undergraduate tutoring, including training and feedback, to many of its postgraduate students.
Those interested in PhD study should normally in the first instance contact a relevant member of academic staff to discuss their area of research and establish the availability of appropriate supervision.
Information about funding opportunities is available on the university's scholarship webpage and further information specific to History students is available HERE.
Although we will consider applications at any time, we recommend that you begin the process as early as possible in the academic year. NB we will only consider applications for funding from students who have been made a formal offer by the university before applying for funding (i.e. early January each year).
Information about the formal application procedure can be found here.
For a student's perspective on PhD study at St Andrews, see here
For further information or general queries about opportunities for doctoral study in the School of History, please contact the Director of Postgraduates, email@example.com
The University of St Andrews offers a unique combination of expertise on the history of the book. High-profile projects such as the French Vernacular Book Project, the Universal Short title Catalogue and the Protestant Latin BibleProject are all proof of the vitality of research into the book world. This degree offers an interdisciplinary approach to the study of the book world from the inception of the printed book in the 15th century to the invention of the mechanised press in the 19th century.
This degree will provide students with advanced training in the history of the early modern European and Atlantic worlds, including the Ottoman Empire. It will introduce students to a range of approaches to early modern history, and will give students unusually wide opportunities to undertake advanced study of the period. It will also provide both broad and deep preparation for subsequent doctoral research for students wishing to pursue further study. St Andrews has one of the highest concentrations of staff researching into early modern history in the world, and students can therefore expect a high level of specialised supervision in most fields
The MSc in Economic and Social History is a one-year taught programme run by the School of History. It offers a distinctive combination of interdisciplinary study and specialisation. It provides the training required for advanced research in social and economic history; it offers specialised study in a chosen historical period (mediaeval to modern), and training in knowledge transfer, where students communicate aspects of their research to non-academic audiences. The ultimate intention is to prepare students for work beyond the MSc, either doctoral research or employment in related areas.
This degree programme permits students to explore human interaction with the non-human natural world within the context of a conceptually advanced study of history. Students have the opportunity to draw upon the expertise of members of the Institute for Environmental History and the Department of Modern History at the University of St Andrews . In addition, postgraduate modules in the Environmental History programme are interdisciplinary and interdepartmental, involving the Schools of History, Geography and Geosciences, and Economics.
Further information
The MLitt in Intellectual History at St Andrews has three goals. First, it provides students with a broad knowledge of the latest intellectual-historical research. Second, it makes students aware of the different kinds of intellectual history being practised today, and the relationship between intellectual history and philosophy, literature and literary studies, international relations, law, politics, economics and theology. Third, it prepares students for doctoral-level research by facilitating one-to-one study with scholars of ancient, medieval, early modern and modern intellectual history, and encompasses all branches of intellectual history including book history, the history of society and the history of science. Throughout, the programme fosters comparative analysis across nations and cultures, facilitating what is sometimes labelled a global approach to intellectual history.
Further information
The Institute of Iranian Studies serves as a focal point for research and discussions of all aspects of Iranian Studies through the hosting of conferences, seminars and workshops, with the aim of drawing together academic and policy expertise. It offers a taught postgraduate programme in Iranian Studies which is the first taught postgraduate programme of its kind in the United Kingdom, and scholars here benefit from burgeoning resources as the cataloguing of some 12,000 Persian books and 800 films donated to the University Library continues.
Further information
|Combining historical and contemporary approaches within one unique, cross-disciplinary, degree, the MLitt in Legal and Constitutional Studies introduces students to a dynamic and expanding field of research.

Simulation methods like DSMC are an efficient tool to compute rarefied gas flows. Using supercomputers it is possible to include various real gas effects like vibrational energies or chemical reactions in a gas mixture. Nevertheless it is still necessary to improve the accuracy of the current simulation methods in order to reduce the computational effort. To support this task the paper presents a comparison of the classical DSMC method with the so called finite Pointset Method. This new approach was developed during several years in the framework of the European space project HERMES. The comparison given in the paper is based on two different testcases: a spatially homogeneous relaxation problem and a 2-dimensional axisymmetric flow problem at high Mach numbers.
We derive a new class of particle methods for conservation laws, which are based on numerical flux functions to model the interactions between moving particles. The derivation is similar to that of classical Finite-Volume methods; except that the fixed grid structure in the Finite-Volume method is substituted by so-called mass packets of particles. We give some numerical results on a shock wave solution for Burgers equation as well as the well-known one-dimensional shock tube problem.
The asymptotic behaviour of a singular-perturbed two-phase Stefan problem due to slow diffusion in one of the two phases is investigated. In the limit the model equations reduce to a one-phase Stefan problem. A boundary layer at the moving interface makes it necessary to use a corrected interface condition obtained from matched asymptotic expansions. The approach is validated by numerical experiments using a front-tracking method.
We present a particle method for the numerical simulation of boundary value problems for the steady-state Boltzmann equation. Referring to some recent results concerning steady-state schemes, the current approach may be used for multi-dimensional problems, where the collision scattering kernel is not restricted to Maxwellian molecules. The efficiency of the new approach is demonstrated by some numerical results obtained from simulations for the (two-dimensional) BEnard's instability in a rarefied gas flow.
The paper presents some adaptive load balance techniques for the simulation of rarefied gas flows on parallel computers. It is shown that a static load balance is insufficient to obtain a scalable parallel efficiency. Hence, two adaptive techniques are investigated which are based on simple algorithms. Numerical results show that using heuristic techniques one can achieve a sufficiently high efficiency over a wide range of different hardware platforms.
We give a comparison of various differential cross-section models for a classical polyatomic gas for a homogeneous relaxation problem and the shock wave profiles at Mach numbers 1.71 and 12.9. Besides the standard Borgnakke-Larsen model and its generalizations to an energy dependent coefficient to control the amnount of rotationally elastic and completely inelastic collisions, we discuss some new models recently proposed by the same authors. Moreover, we present numerical algorithms to implement the models in a particle or Monte-Carlo code and compare the numerical shock wave profiles with existing experimental data.
Particle methods to simulate rarefied gas flows have found an increasing interest in Computational Fluid Dynamics during the last decade, see for example [1], [2], [3] and [4]. The general goal is to develop numerical schemes which are reliable enough to substitute real windtunnel experiments, needed for example in space research, by computer experiments. In order to achieve this goal one needs numerical methods solving the Boltzmann equation including all important physical effects. In general this means 3D computations for a chemically reacting rarefied gas. With codes of this kind at hand, Boltzmann simulation becomes a powerful tool in studying rarefied gas phenomena.
The paper presents theoretical and numerical investigations on simulation methods for the Boltzmann equation with axisymmetric geometry. The main task is to reduce the computational effort by taking advantage of the symmetry in the solution of the Boltzmann equation.; The reduction automatically leads to the concept of weighting functions for the radial space coordinate and therefore to a modified Boltzmann equation. Consequently the classical simulation methods have to be modified according to the new equation.; The numerical results shown in this paper - rarefied gas flows around a body with axisymmetric geometry - were done in the framework of the European space project HERMES.
This paper contains the basic ideas and practical aspects for numerical methods for solving the Boltzmann Equation. The main field of application considered is the reentry of a Space Shuttle in the transition from free molecular flow to continuum flow. The method used will be called Finite Pointset Method (FPM) approximating the solution by finite sets of particles in a rigorously defined way. Convergence results are cited while practical aspects of the algorithm are emphasized. Ideas for the transition to the Navier Stokes domain are shortly discussed.
Based on general partitions of unity and standard numerical flux functions, a class of mesh-free methods for conservation laws is derived. A Lax-Wendroff type consistency analysis is carried out for the general case of moving partition functions. The analysis leads to a set of conditions which are checked for the finite volume particle method FVPM. As a by-product, classical finite volume schemes are recovered in the approach for special choices of the partition of unity.

HONG KONG – Asian stock markets fell for a second day Tuesday as uncertainty over the economic toll of swine flu inspired more caution among investors.
The disease, which broke out in Mexico just days ago, has spread to Europe and testing of suspected cases was underway in Asian countries, including South Korea and New Zealand. As governments everywhere toughened their precautions, the World Health Organization raised its global alert level in a move that could lead to more trade and travel restrictions.
While the disease has been relatively contained so far — with all 150 suspected deaths and most of the some 2,000 infections in Mexico — investors seemed loath to take on more risk and pocketed gains from the market's recent rally. Drug makers jumped while airlines and other travel-industry companies took another hit.
"Sentiment has improved a lot since March, but it's still in a fragile state at this point," said Kelvin Lau, regional economist at Standard Chartered in Hong Kong. "Many people are still pessimistic, and given the swine flu, sentiment could see another dip."
Swine flu wasn't the only distraction for investors, already uneasy about the results of the U.S. government's stress tests to gauge the health of the largest 19 banks. The reports are set for release Monday, though Bank of America and Citigroup have been told by regulators the two will likely need to raise more capital, according to a Wall Street Journal report.
After wavering in early trade, most Asian markets trended lower.
Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average lost 152.73 points, or 1.8 percent, to 8573.61, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng shed 204.74 points, or 1.4 percent, to14,635.68.
Elsewhere, Korea's Kospi retreated 2.2 percent to 1,309.81. Shanghai's main index was down 0.7 percent, Taiwan's stock measure dropped 1.8 percent and India's Sensex slipped 0.6 percent. Australia's benchmark was little changed.
Wall Street was similarly cautious overnight.
The Dow Jones suffered its first drop in three days, falling 51.29, or 0.6 percent, to 8,025.00. Broader stock indicators also closed lower. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell 8.72, or 1 percent, to 857.51.
U.S. markets were headed for more losses after Wall Street futures dropped sharply. Dow futures fell 82 points, or 1 percent, to 7,920 and S&P 500 futures lost 11.8, or 1.4 percent, to 845.
Oil traders, also mulling the fallout from swine flu, sent crude prices lower, with the June contract falling 98 cents to $49.16. Prices shed $1.41 overnight to settle at $50.14.
In currencies, the dollar weakened to 96.15 yen from 96.37. The euro slipped to $1.3005 from $1.3029.

Some North Kansas City school buses getting Wi-Fi
Cost is about $700 per bus for equipment, $50 per month for Internet access
Some of the North Kansas City school buses that are outfitted for longer trips will also soon be wired with Wi-Fi access.
The district will begin wiring four school buses used for longer trips with industrial grade Wi-Fi in January, The Kansas City Star reported. The service will be available on buses used in trips such as those taken by band members and sports teams.
The cost is about $700 per bus for the equipment and $50 in monthly Internet access charges.
"We are living in a digital age," said Eric Sipes, information technology executive director for the district. "We are at that point where we have to embrace it."
The first use will be by students who make the 50-minute round trip daily to a career center in Platte County.
Lon Waterman, assistant director of transportation, said he plans to provide access to the district's Internet service so students can research assignments or prepare for standardized tests.
While the district first considered Wi-Fi on buses a few years ago, the effort got an extra push when North Kansas City Superintendent Todd White issued a challenge to Sipes and his staff more than a year ago.
White asked Sipes to determine what direction the district should be heading to keep up with technology. The result is a goal of ensuring that every student, from kindergartener to high school senior, will eventually be linked with a laptop, iPad or some sort of personal technology device at the district's expense.
Educators nationwide are managing a shift in how students learn, including what they expect from teachers, said Ray Daniels, co-chairman of the Mayors' Bistate Innovation Team and a former superintendent of the Kansas City, Kan., Public Schools.
Daniels said when students first began bringing their cellphones and laptops into classrooms, most school districts told them to turn off the devices and pay attention. Now, districts are asking students to log on to those devices.
"You will never replace the good teacher," he said. "But technology is going to play a bigger and bigger role."

PASADENA, Calif. - Television's Military Channel is changing its mission, and its name.
Discovery Communications said Thursday that the Military Channel will become the American Heroes Channel, beginning in March.
The network, geared mainly toward men and available in some 62 million homes, began operation in 2005 when the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were both active.
Now it wants to expand its mission to encompass documentary-style programming of people meeting challenges of every sort, including rescue missions following Hurricane Katrina and scientists in the space race.
"Why the name change?" asked Kevin Bennett, the network's general manager. "Because heroism transcends the battlefield."
