DONALDSON тАФ Ancilla College womenтАЩs basketball player Shalana Murray was selected as a co-recipient of the NJCAA Division II WomenтАЩs Basketball Player of the Week Award for January 26.
A 5-foot-11 forward, Murray posted a pair of double-doubles on January 19 and January 22 against Grand Rapids Community College and Kellogg Community College, respectively.
Murray put up 16 points and 16 rebounds in a 61-55 victory over Grand Rapids at home, followed by a 10 point, 15-rebound performance in a 54-52 victory at Kellogg.
She also averaged 3.5 assists, 2.0 steals, and 1.5 blocks in the two games.┬а
тАЬShalana had a great week, and it was good to see that the NJCAA recognize for her efforts,тАЭ said Ancilla womenтАЩs basketball coach Dave Liverance.┬атАЬBecause of what she was able to do on the court, helped us win both games and get back in the hunt in conference play.┬а All season long, Shalana has been a force inside.┬аShe is a hard working player, and itтАЩs fun to see her get rewarded.тАЭ
Murray credited her development under Liverance as part of the reason for her recent success.
┬атАЬI feel like IтАЩve come a long way from being the player who just passed, passed, passed,тАЭ said Murray.┬атАЬI was always behind somebody.┬аNow I feel like I have the opportunity to step up, put the team on my shoulders, and become one of the many leaders on the team instead of being in the background.
тАЬItтАЩs just an honor.тАЭ

Slow Cooker Collard Greens Recipe
Cleaning and trimming 5 pounds of collard greens is the hardest part of this recipe—after that, it's easy. Sauté onions and garlic in a large pot, then add the greens. (It may seem odd to precook them, but wilting the collards is crucial to getting them to fit in the slow cooker.) Transfer everything to the slow cooker, along with ham hocks or smoked turkey drumsticks for meaty, smoky flavor, and walk away for 4 or even 6 hours. Come back to tender greens and some tasty potlikker to spoon over grits with shrimp or cornbread.
What to buy: Collard greens are often cooked with smoked ham hocks, but smoked turkey drumsticks are a great substitute and yield more meat than ham hocks.
This recipe was featured as part of our Slow Cooker Recipes for Hot Summer Days.
- 2 pounds smoked ham hocks or smoked turkey drumsticks
- 5 pounds collard greens (about 6 bunches)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 medium yellow onions, medium dice
- 4 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth or stock
- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt, plus more as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- Place the ham hocks or turkey drumsticks in a 3-quart or larger slow cooker; set aside.
- Using your hands, remove the collard leaves from the tough stems and discard the stems. Tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces, then wash and dry them; set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large, wide-bottomed pot over medium heat until shimmering. Add the onion and garlic, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high, add the broth or stock, stir to combine, and bring to a boil. Stir in the greens a handful at a time, adding more as they wilt, until they're all in the pot.
- Turn off the heat and add 1 tablespoon of the vinegar, the sugar, measured salt, measured pepper, and cayenne and stir to combine. Transfer to the slow cooker.
- Cover and cook until the greens are very tender, about 4 to 5 hours on high or 5 to 6 hours on low.
- Remove the ham hocks or turkey drumsticks to a cutting board. When they're cool enough to handle, remove the meat from the bones (discard the skin and bones), shred it into bite-sized pieces, and stir it back into the greens. Add the remaining teaspoon of vinegar and stir to combine. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

I, Mark Bradley, being of failing body and always-feeble mind, do solemnly swear that I write the following of my own free will. I am not under duress. I am not under the influence of anything stronger than Snapple Diet Lemon. I write this for no other reason than I happen to believe it. And also, I must admit, for the shock value of imagining the faces of those hundreds of thousands who've said: "No way this guy ever says anything bad about Bobby."
Frank Wren took the big heat over the winter, but the general manager of uncertain portfolio, has had a much better season than his Hall of Fame manager. This marks the first time in Bobby Cox's second tour as Braves manager his team can be said to have underperformed, at least in the regular season. This isn't a team of vast talent, no, but neither is this a club that should have fallen from contention on Labor Day eve.
The Braves awoke Tuesday with the National League's fourth-best ERA. Two of the teams above them are leading divisions, and the third, San Francisco, has a real chance of winning the wild card. A team with that sort of pitching could and should be in the playoff hunt, but the Braves are 7 1/2 games behind the wild card leader with 25 to go. In sum, it's over.
If we fault Wren for not bolstering his batting order sooner — and we can also make the case that fixing the rotation first was the absolute proper course — we must concede the GM attempted correction after mid-course correction. He made three major in-season trades for everyday players, which is as much as anyone could reasonably expect. And there's also this:
The Braves haven't hit all that much, but as of Labor Day they had a higher team batting average than the Cardinals, the Phillies and the Giants. Put another way, the Braves have both outhit and outpitched Philadelphia — and yet they lag in the standings by 8 games.
For nearly two decades we've assumed Cox will maximize the resources on hand. He hasn't done it this season. He has overworked his bullpen and done strange things with his two nominal closers and relied on Greg Norton to get the key pinch-hit two dozen times too many. He has also failed to be even slightly creative with his lineup.
It's one thing to play for the three-run homer if you have men capable of hitting one. The Braves, alas, are 10th among 16 National League clubs in home runs. Brian McCann leads the Braves with 18 but wouldn't lead 13 other NL teams. Were he a Phil, he'd be tied for fifth.
If you can't hit the ball over yonder wall, you must find alternatives. The Braves are fourth in the league in hits, which tells us they've gotten men aboard, but are next-to-last in stolen bases and fourth-worst at grounding into double plays. You should be able to do more with singles than they've done.
I've long resisted the notion that the Braves don't play with passion. (This is baseball, where passion fizzles by Memorial Day and precision trumps all.) That said, this team wasted too many expertly pitched games against bad teams. (Case study: The Braves yielded a total of 10 runs over 30 innings to sub-.500 Cincinnati and just got swept.)
No, this suddenly lost season wasn't all the manager's doing. Seasons never are. A manager can't hit and pitch for his men. But he can put those men in better position to succeed. Even great players have off-years. We've just seen a great manager have his.

I love Bobby Cox. I think he is one of the best managers. But I now think that he should step down. We need change and it needs to start in the dugout.
September 8th, 2009
12:40 am
WooHoo! This so needed to be said. Cox is just like Tom Landry. Dallas had Jerry Jones to put him out to pasture, will Frank Wren be willing to do the same?
September 8th, 2009
12:45 am
I'm one of those people who believes things just haven't been the same since Leo left. That's an oversimplification, and perhaps it gives him too much credit for coaching geniuses, but the number don't lie. I'm not a McDowell fan. True, the dyanmic is substantially different now, but Bobby has not forgotten how to manage, and Leo had tremendous success keeping people healthy over the years. Bring back the other half of the brain!

I bet next year we see that Jordan Shafer playing with injured wrist was the problem in the first two months. No telling how many games that cost us. Probably enough to lose the season. When something in a wrist snaps, it needs to be repaired. Now it has been repaired, only about five months too late.
September 8th, 2009
12:51 am
He has gotten softer in his older age. Unless you share a surname with a certain drug kingpin he isn't being hard enough. Chipper shouldn't have been hitting 3rd for a while now and Greg Norton??? Even Greg Norton has to be asking why? Kelly Johnson is another.
September 8th, 2009
1:01 am
I think Bobby Cox should step down or Frank Wren should fire him either one of these needs to happen asap. I've said this before that if the yankees can fire Joe Torre who won 4 rings for them then why are the braves still holding on with Bobby Cox who only won 1 ring and screwed up alot of other chances he is pass his time and the braves need a change.
The braves need to also trade chipper jones this offseason and yunel escobar. chipper is not going to hep the braves like he use too and they can get some good pieces in returun for him like say trade him to LAA for Gary Matthews Jr., Howie Kendrick and a minor league prospect.
September 8th, 2009
1:03 am
Yea, that's what the Braves need to do, trade Escobar, their best player. That is one of the dumbest things that can be said.
September 8th, 2009
1:06 am
response to Ghost of Shane Vendrell comment.
why keep Yunel? He is a knucklehead and he slacks off at times on plays I'm surprised by your comment cause I've spoken with lots of braves fans and they agree with me.
September 8th, 2009
1:07 am
Honest question, trying to ask it logically and totally without bias.
How is Bobby Cox the best manager you've ever seen?
Seriously, think about it for a second. Think about all of those wasted Octobers. I count that out of those 14 years, Cox had the BEST team in baseball six times. Three times he had one of the ALL-TIME great teams in baseball.
Of those six (and the three in those seven) teams, NOT ONE won a World Series.
1991 the Braves had a better team, but it was CLOSE, so the homefield (and umpire) advantage the Twins had couldn't be overcome.
1993. One of the three ALL-TIME greatest baseball teams.
1994 the Braves were far better than the Expos, but would have only gotten a Wild Card. Too bad the strike happened.
1996. The second of the three.
1997. The third of the three.
2002. A huge disappointment.
Here's the thing, 1992, the Jays had the better team. In 1999, the Yankees had the better team. In 2001, the Diamondbacks had the better team.
So, out of 14 trips to October, the Braves lost to the better team only THREE times.
They beat the better team in 1995 because Hargrove is a bigger Dunce of the Dugout than Cox, if that's possible.
So, that means the Braves LOST TO A WORSE TEAM TEN TIMES!!!
Think about that for a minute. Really think about that.
Not winning three series in a row, from 1995-1997 is by far Cox's fault. Losing to the Phillies in 1993 is Cox's fault.
Why, Mark, if you have the BEST postseason pitcher in the HISTORY of baseball, do you let guys who disappoint year after year in October (Glavine and Maddux) start ahead of him?
In a seven game (or five) series, SMOLTZ is the guy ANY manager who isn't a complete idiot would start in game 1.
But Cox, as always, put way too much store into the regular season, and let the other guys get all the series starts, except in 1996, when his poor bullpen decisions (a recurring October theme) screwed the Braves in Game 4. I mean, Mike Beilecki was MOWING down the Yankees, so why even bring in Wohlers? If Wohlers isn't in the game, he doesn't hang that pitch that Leyritz smoked.
Cox overmanages when games matter the most when it comes to his bullpen.
But he also undermanages with his starting pitchers and bench. He leaves hot bats on the bench to languish while he brings in his favored, low-percentage "vets" (sound familiar?) to strike out.
When it's win or go home, bottom of the ninth with two on and two out, instead of pinch-hitting for rally-killers like Andruw Jones, he let's them kill the team. I count two straight postseasons ended on Andruw whiffs.
When it's win or go home, Cox doesn't manage with ANY sense of urgency. He's the WRONG guy for October. He never puts the guys in the position to win.
He is the WORST postseason manager in the history of baseball. That means he can be in no way the best you've ever seen.
Here's the adage you need to understand:
In the regular season, a good team can overcome a bad manager, because talent can overcome bad decisions over the course of 162 games.
In the postseason, a bad manager will SINK a talented team, and kill any chance they have of winning through his horrible decisions. Because you don't have 162 games to hide behind. You win or you go home.
I give you Bobby J. Cox.
He's the most overrated manager in the history of baseball. He's a great GM, and he and Schuerholtz's acquisitions in the late 80's and early 90's provided Atlanta with the most talented team in baseball most years.
But his managing kept that talent from achieving all it should have.
And I'm SICK of people excusing his poor performances by calling the playoffs a "crapshoot." Winning ONCE in 14 times is NOT a crapshoot. You know what is?
Winning 4 times in 12 tries. Joe Torre did that. THAT'S a crapshoot.
Winning 1 time in 14 is a TREND. The Braves weren't the Dodgers. Most of those years, the Braves WERE the Yankees. Top payroll, top talent.
But unfortunately, the Braves didn't have Torre in the dugout. They had the most overrated manager in baseball history.
September 8th, 2009
1:12 am
More proof that it was the talent and NOT Cox who should be given credit those 14 straight years?
Given worse talent than he used to have all those years, Cox hasn't done ANYTHING to make it better.
In fact, some could say, because of the performance of some players (Andruw, Frenchy), Cox has made the talent WORSE.
Which would be the trend I pointed out.
All those years, Cox was given a Cadillac to drive and he treated it like a Yugo. Eventually, the car will break down. And it has.
Now, it's just a simple question:
Who has done less with more, umm, more in his career? Bobby Cox or Willie Martinez?
September 8th, 2009
1:16 am
Mark –
It's clear — what made him great is what will eventually be his undoing — loyalty.
2009 is far different than 1980 or even 1991.
He has not done a good job of bringing this team together, at least on the field.
He should share the blame with a subpar coaching staff, but since he hired 'em, I guess it's his rear end.
You can be tough and liked at the same time — just like LaRussa.
Time for a change.

BugKiller you are so right you couldn't have said it any better your comment is absolutely right.
September 8th, 2009

Gotta agree with Bug Killer, Mark. Bobby did very little with a lot. He seems to come up short when the talent level is even.
September 8th, 2009
1:31 am
Change the subject for a sec… I am curious if anyone else noticed that there was still time on the clock when the FSU pass fell incomplete in the endzone tonight. The ball was whistled incomplete and there was still a second showing on the clock. I figured they were reviewing the call not just to see if it was incomplete but to check the clock too. ESPN announcers never notice anything of course… they are dumb as fence posts.
September 8th, 2009
1:31 am
Nice post, BugKiller. Although I'm sure Bradley stopped reading as soon as you pointed out that Smoltz is the best postseason pitcher of all time. Remember, in Bradley's world, Smoltz's most noteworthy and newsworthy accomplishment in his HOF career was going public with his disdain for vindictive hack "journalists".
September 8th, 2009
1:39 am
Just curious if anyone noticed that FSU still had a tick on the clock when their third down pass fell incomplete in the endzone. Thought they had another shot, especially after the officials reviewed the play and didn't seem to look at the clock.
September 8th, 2009
1:50 am
Who would replace him? They would want someone who knows the "Braves Way" but part of that way is Cox himself. When it comes to Cox proteges, does anyone think Terry Pendleton could run this team? Could Fredi Gonzalez be pried from the Marlins? Could Ned Yost be the answer? I agree the game has passed Bobby by but who is better right now that wants to come to Atlanta?
September 8th, 2009
2:00 am
Bob in SF
How about Bobby Valentine The Mets old skipper he could be a great replacement or maybe Willie Randolph the mets former manager.
September 8th, 2009
3:11 am
Amen Bradley.
70 wins and 67 losses, 82 quality starts and a Pythagorean formula which says we should be 75-62. Fourth best team ERA and yet just one complete game. An overworked bullpen should never happen under these circumstances.
Next to dead last in stolen bases with 49. Ranked 22nd in HR's, 21st in RBI, ranked 20th in defense and on and on it goes……
Underachievement is the word of the day. It is Bobby's fault and to some degree, Frank Wren's too. Our Braves can throw the ball (pitch), but they can't catch it (defense). Nor can this team hit the ball (offense) or run the bases (small ball, steal bases). Frank Wren built this team too and he failed to do much of anything except fix the pitching. His in season trades were to little to late when combined with the inept management of Bobby Cox.
And Wren's treatment of Smoltz and Glavine however necessary the need to part ways was embarrassing and shameful. Schuerholz all but apologized for the way Wren handled the situation.
That said, Cox needs to retire, obviously. Wren is on the bubble as far as I'm concerned. Our GM needs to work on his people skills, just ask Cal Ripken Jr.
September 8th, 2009
3:21 am
The Braves need a change at manager. They have a good shot at contending in 2010 with Hanson and Hudson in the rotation the whole year and Jason Heyward in right field. Hopefully Wren can get us someone, anyone who can hit to play left. But the team should be right there contending for a playoff spot, hopefully Bobby Cox won't be the one to screw it up again.
September 8th, 2009
4:22 am
Cox is defending Greg Norton based on what he did for the Braves LAST YEAR. It is not 2008, Bobby, it is 2009. What has Greg Norton done for us THIS YEAR? Not much…time to cut the string and let Greg go.
September 8th, 2009
5:29 am
Mark, the biggest difference between this and prior years with BC has been Bobby use to stay with his starters one pitch too many.
5 1/3 this year got him itchy. 7 brought the hook.
Jair's record when he went 7 and gave up 3 or less runs gives the most acurate description of this team and season.
September 8th, 2009
5:32 am
Great article with the stats. I've seen him make decisions regarding Greg Norton and pulling pitchers, etc, all year, and he fails this year.

COACH you are still the biggest a$$clown on this or any blog. Don't think that I wont be on this blog daily to blast you back to where ever it is you come from. You cherry pick stats and always try to find a way to blame Bobby.
At least Mark uses substance and intelligence to voice his opinion. Everyone on here has read your endless drivel of insults towards Bobby. So stick it in your ear.

if Atlanta had more fans like bugkiller, the town might have a chance of leaving loserville….Cobby Box should have been gone long ago and that florida redneck too. The PAIN….of one championship in fourteen essentially nullifies 1995. …..PS…dont let the same thing happen with Mike Smith, after he fails(my belief), get rid of him.
September 8th, 2009
6:25 am
Why is it that no one is pointing a finger at our "hitting coach?" His inability to teach and/or fix a swing has been ongoing. Jeff F. started to hit after he was traded. Jordan S. Kelly J. Even goes back to A. Jones.
September 8th, 2009
6:35 am
Geno, Why do you bring up Mike Smith? Comparing him to Bobby Cox is stupid. Cox has had years and talent and has failed. Mike Smith after one year has showed he can at least make solid decisions. I don't know where you come from but they need to check the water supply. It is doing major damage to your brain.
September 8th, 2009
6:41 am
Wren should have asked Cox and his staff to step down when he took the reins. Who knows, maybe he did and Cox said "I don't think so". In any event, Cox had a great run and now it's time to leave. The entire dugout looks like they're just going through the motions waiting until the last out of the 162nd game. I hope they don't trample one another running out the clubhouse door. In the off season, Wren needs to get rid of Cox (and his staff), Johnson, Lowe, Hudson, Anderson, Norton, and Soriano. Pick up a 5 tool center fielder, platoon Chipper at 1st and drop him in the order to seventh when ever he's in the lineup. maybe Chipper should consider retiring also. In any event, a shakeup is in order.
September 8th, 2009
6:51 am
Mark, I appreciate the attempt at criticism, but this article is ridiculous, a slap on Bobby's hand at best. You gave us a disclaimer at the beginning of the article for this…?
Robert J. Cox is not God, nor is he an idol, a martyr, or a saint. He hasn't discovered a cure for the common cold, and the last time I checked, he hasn't raced into any burning buildings to save a child. In short, he's human, fallible, and capable of being questioned. I just wanted to clarify it, Mark, in case you were confused.
Robert's job is simple. Win. However you have to. Leave stupid and misplaced loyalty (this is a business) at the door, and give your team the BEST chance at winning. This 5 game slide onto their collective post-season couches began when Cox once again called upon No-hit Norton (not a name you desire if you are a HITTER) in Florida with a chance to tie the game after the Braves had battled back to within one run. And what did Norton do? He whiffed. Just like he's done all season. All he needed was a fly ball, a grounder, some kind of CONTACT!!! The only thing he succeeded in was in sucking out all the momentum that had accumulated within this team in the past month. But Bobby had called upon HIS man, and whatever the outcome, it would all be ok.
So here's the thing: why should the players care about winning when they see evidence every day that their manager doesn't? Frenchy, Kelly Johnson, Jeff Bennett, Jordan Schafer, Manny Acosta. All "first string" players who played miserably for the first 3 months, and all of whom Cox refused to bench/cut/ etc. even after they each proved DAILY that they didn't have it. Ah, the eternal optimism of Robert J.
Martin Prado, Matt Diaz. Just think what might have been if Cox had allowed these guys to play ALL season? A day late and a dollar short. That's Robert. That's how he's been for most of his 18 years in Atlanta. It's never his pitchers fault, never his hitters. The other team always seems to hit it where they ain't and we hit line drives right at guys.
I'm sure Greg Norton is a great guy, but unfortunately he's become a symbol of all that is so horribly wrong with Robert J. Cox's style. If Robert doesn't care, why should his players? Why should we?

This season wasn't lost in the last week or month. It was lost in the first two months when Jordan Schafer and Kelly Johnson were everyday players. The Braves should have kept Josh Anderson, until an appropriate (Nate McLouth) trade came along, and played Martin Prado from the get go. They squandered two months and dug themselves a hole. It could have been avoided.

Thank you, Mark! Finally, you criticize Bobby. I've been waiting five months to see this, and, quite frankly, I've been waiting for as long as I've been blogging here. (A year or two?).
You know that I have to ask about what you didnt say. It's the obivious question after the fourth straight disappointing season. Is it time for a new manager? I will be very interested to hear your thoughts on this.
After what Bobby has done for this orginization, and all the success he had from 1991 to 2005, I would never say to "Fire" him completely. I would create a job title for him in the front office, put him in it, give him a paycheck from the Braves for as long as he wants it, and hire a new manager. A manager who won fourteen straight division titles deserves that, even if he didnt do a good job managing this year.
What do you think should happen with Bobby? Should he stay as manager, or should he go?
September 8th, 2009

I am thankful for what Bobby has done also, even though his managerial style always changed (for the worse) in the playoffs! But what's wrong with stealing a base, or bunting – once in a while? Yes the Braves seem dead in too many games. Where's the fire?

In order to rule out favoritism………………….The entire coaching staff needs to go. Also these players need to go by trade or released.
Norton, Carlyle, Acosta, Try to trade Lowe.

All things must come to an end. Having said that, Cox will never be forgotten in this town but it is time for a new regime change. Move him to the front office or something. Need someone about 30-40 yrs younger in there—someone with fire who can kick these boys in the butt to make them play with passion. Such a pathetic performance against the Reds and will be shocked if we actually win a game against the Astros. Season over!!

Bobby has let the pitchers go to many innings when they appeared to lack their quality stuff and they were rocked, royally.
September 8th, 2009

Lets look at it this way. He had a team with three frigging first ballot Hall of Fame starting pitchers and they won how many world series? End of story. Case closed.

Sure, lets toss him like Dale Murphy, Tom Glavine, and John Smoltz. Who cares if he is an Atlanta Icon and has done more for the Atlanta Braves than any other owner, general manager, on-field manager or player? Atlanta, what a great sports city… Embarrassing.

Bobby has done well (understating the obvious!) but his achilles heel has always been his handling of the bullpen. His bullpen has always been a series of one inning appearances. That wears out a bullpen by August. It is far more stressful to throw a reliever an inning a day for three days in a row than 3 innings then 2 days off. His formula for pulling a pitcher after one inning wears out the pen. Look at Chris Medlen. Very effective this season. Last week pitched well first day. Got hammered next two days.
September 8th, 2009
7:47 am
Off year, more like off decade….Come on, continuing to hit/play slumping (and oh, so tired) Chipper? Norton as a critical pinch-hitter? the WRONG batting order/lineup that continues to leave the Braves with two-out opportunity after two out opportunity? Terry Pendleton?

going into next year:
1.braves dont have a true leadoff man. mclouth is ok, but not a STOLEN BASE guy that teams fear. thats the FIRST problem. they dont manufacture runs.
2.braves dont have that big bopper in the outfield. sheffield was there in free agency, but for some reason, the braves have this thang…………
3. the braves dont play sound defense. use to be a time where you could count on the braves solid defense behind the pitching.
4. chipper shouldve been traded couple seasons ago to give more flexibility in their manuevers. they couldve BEEN had another starting pitcher for chipper, then be in a position to bolster the lineup this past off season. his errors and injuries do more to hurt the team than his bat.
5. the farm system aint what it used to be with the trading away of everybody, but its getting better.

Marv Levy went to 4 sraight Super Bowls, probably more impressive than Cox winning 14 division titles. Division titles are are the only the first step, you want to get to the World Series or the Super Bowl. Is Marv Levy considered one of the greatest NFL coaches of all time? Don't think so. Championships is what counts, not Division titles.

I'm almost through the first lap and I'm swearing, cussing, laughing and screaming inside my full face helmet. Then I hit the brakes, the laughter stops as the air is punched from my lungs and the car tried to snap my neck. This is madness, pure violence on wheels and the purest sensation of speed you'll ever come across. I'm driving a real Renault F1 car on the Hungarian Grand Prix circuit, and you can too.
America might not have taken to Formula One like the rest of the world, but any car nut knows they are the most advanced machines on the planet. Mercedes, Ferrari, Red Bull and Renault spend up to $700 million a year to go racing and the lion's share goes on the car that would easily cost $1 million. So how did I, a relative monkey, get my hands on this 2004 car with a 700hp V10 strapped to my shoulder blades?
Renault's Feel It course, which started in 2005, and is open to anyone over 22 years old with a full license. That's how. And though it costs 5,500 ($7,600), every fleeting second makes it more than worth it for the 240 people that drive the car every year.
The cars are prepped by ex F1 team mechanics, telemetry experts are on hand and a physio (personal trainer) violently pushes and pulls my head to ensure I can handle the up to 5.5 g under heavy braking and, if I get it right, 4.5 g in the corners. The Bugatti Veyron Super Sports, by comparison, manages 1.4 g in the bends. We're in fighter jet territory here.
First, though, comes the classroom instruction and 40 laps in a 200hp Formula Renault that makes any road car feel like an unwieldy bus. I've driven single seaters before and feel fast, smooth and confident that the laptop-wielding engineers' praise will flow free. I am so wrong.
I need to brake twice as hard, and slowly bleed off the pedal when the downforce drops off, I'm using too much curb and I'm five seconds off Renault F1 driver Vitaly Petrov's time. My ego is smashed, but at least I'm good enough to drive the F1 car.
Soon I'm squeezing into the cockpit of the F1 that is based on the R26 that Fernando Alonso took to the Drivers Championship in 2006, staring at two huge, grooved Bridgestone tires and the 30,000 front wing. Then comes another shock as the engine fires up without my help and settles at its 4500rpm idle that sounds like a high revving chainsaw plugged into an amplifier.
The chassis is fitted with a 3-liter V10 that comes with 700 hp mated to a seven-speed paddleshift gearbox, but it's limited to 12,000 rpm to save the team from expensive blow-ups. There's a foot clutch, too, and a sort of traction control system that helps keep the car on the road.
It is more than enough for 650 kg of car and gives the Renault a power-to-weight ratio of 1,077bhp/ton. As a point of comparison the Veyron Super Sports delivers 638bhp/ton.
Thankfully there is no disastrous stall, the car trickles away from the line and then, suddenly, I am dragged out of the pitlane by some unseen force. The next minute is a total blur. The power, steering, everything are completely overwhelming and I forget about racing lines, braking points, even breathing. This is shock and awe in automotive form.
On anything approaching straight the wind rips at my helmet. Then there's the downforce, where the faster you go through a corner, the harder the car sticks. An F1 car could stick to the ceiling of a tunnel and literally drive upside down. But knowing I need 50 kph more than feels safe is a difficult concept to grasp in the eye of the storm.
Then there are the brakes. There's hardly any feel, the pedal is more or less a wooden block, but it stops so hard it draws tears from my eyes. And I'm still not on the pedal hard or late enough.

Researchers at the Oregon State University College of Engineering have discovered an efficient way to produce hydrogen from different types of biowaste, including municipal sewage.
The process uses 75% less energy than the how to buy levitra in canada traditional water electrolysis method of producing hydrogen, and can be done at a much lower cost, making it a good candidate for hydrogen fuel production. In the lab, researchers are already close to the Department of Energy's goal of levitra and diarrhea $2 to $3 per gasoline gallon equivalent for hydrogen fuel.
The university describes the process like this:
"In these systems, naturally occurring microorganisms from sewage attach to the surface of an anode and ojalafilms.com degrade the waste in the sewage, in a device that is something like a battery. The waste decomposes, eventually leaving protons that migrate to only today levitra discussionsdiscount priced levitra the cathode, combine with electrons and generate hydrogen."
In addition to producing hydrogen, this process also cleans the water, so, ideally, treatment plants could be developed to take in sewage and send out hydrogen fuel and clean water. Imagine sewage becoming a valuable resource. The system can also be adapted to generate electricity directly instead of producing hydrogen.
Beyond hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, this technology could find practical use in developing countries or remote locations where waste treatment and power production are scarce.

Crystal Structure of Human Saposin C
Saposins A and C are sphingolipid activator proteins required for the lysosomal breakdown of galactosylceramide and glucosylceramide, respectively. The saposins interact with lipids, leading to an enhanced accessibility of the lipid headgroups to their cognate hydrolases. We have determined the crystal structures of human saposins A and C to 2.0 Angstroms and 2.4 Angstroms, respectively, and both reveal the compact, monomeric saposin fold. We confirmed that these two proteins were monomeric in solution at pH 7.0 by analytical centrifugation. However, at pH 4.8, in the presence of the detergent C(8)E(5), saposin A assembled into dimers, while saposin C formed trimers. Saposin B was dimeric under all conditions tested. The self-association of the saposins is likely to be relevant to how these small proteins interact with lipids, membranes, and hydrolase enzymes.
Crystal structures of saposins A and C., Ahn VE, Leyko P, Alattia JR, Chen L, Prive GG, Protein Sci. 2006 Aug;15(8):1849-57. Epub 2006 Jul 5. PMID:16823039
From MEDLINE®/PubMed®, a database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
[SAP_HUMAN] Defects in PSAP are the cause of combined saposin deficiency (CSAPD) [MIM:611721]; also known as prosaposin deficiency. CSAPD is due to absence of all saposins, leading to a fatal storage disorder with hepatosplenomegaly and severe neurological involvement.[1][2] Defects in PSAP saposin-B region are the cause of leukodystrophy metachromatic due to saposin-B deficiency (MLD-SAPB) [MIM:249900]. MLD-SAPB is an atypical form of metachromatic leukodystrophy. It is characterized by tissue accumulation of cerebroside-3-sulfate, demyelination, periventricular white matter abnormalities, peripheral neuropathy. Additional neurological features include dysarthria, ataxic gait, psychomotr regression, seizures, cognitive decline and spastic quadriparesis. Defects in PSAP saposin-C region are the cause of atypical Gaucher disease (AGD) [MIM:610539]. Affected individuals have marked glucosylceramide accumulation in the spleen without having a deficiency of glucosylceramide-beta glucosidase characteristic of classic Gaucher disease, a lysosomal storage disorder.[3][4] Defects in PSAP saposin-A region are the cause of atypical Krabbe disease (AKRD) [MIM:611722]. AKRD is a disorder of galactosylceramide metabolism. AKRD features include progressive encephalopathy and abnormal myelination in the cerebral white matter resembling Krabbe disease.[5] Note=Defects in PSAP saposin-D region are found in a variant of Tay-Sachs disease (GM2-gangliosidosis).
[SAP_HUMAN] The lysosomal degradation of sphingolipids takes place by the sequential action of specific hydrolases. Some of these enzymes require specific low-molecular mass, non-enzymic proteins: the sphingolipids activator proteins (coproteins). Saposin-A and saposin-C stimulate the hydrolysis of glucosylceramide by beta-glucosylceramidase (EC 126.96.36.199) and galactosylceramide by beta-galactosylceramidase (EC 22.214.171.124). Saposin-C apparently acts by combining with the enzyme and acidic lipid to form an activated complex, rather than by solubilizing the substrate. Saposin-B stimulates the hydrolysis of galacto-cerebroside sulfate by arylsulfatase A (EC 220.127.116.11), GM1 gangliosides by beta-galactosidase (EC 220.127.116.11) and globotriaosylceramide by alpha-galactosidase A (EC 220.127.116.11). Saposin-B forms a solubilizing complex with the substrates of the sphingolipid hydrolases. Saposin-D is a specific sphingomyelin phosphodiesterase activator (EC 126.96.36.199).

The Toronto Maple Leafs aren't ruling out the acquistion of a veteran goaltender for the stretch run, but it's not a top priority.
Leafs general manager Dave Nonis told reporters after the team's Monday morning practice that experience was "definitely part of the equation" as far as potentially adding another netminder, but was also comfortable with James Reimer and Ben Scrivens if nothing comes to fruition.
"Having someone there that can help in the event that we need him, I think it just makes sense for us," he explained. "If not, we think we have two NHL calibre goalies. They've proved that this year - goaltending hasn't been an issue."
The Leafs are 20-12-4 this season and are close to securing the franchise's first postseason berth since 2004. That said, Nonis will be going into Wednesday's deadline looking to make 'hockey trades' rather than fire sale moves.
"We're not trying to necessarily sell off players for future assets," he told reporters. "I would prefer a hockey trade where we're giving up some assets and getting assets back. It's difficult to find that right now. A lot of teams are saying the same thing right now, it's not a year where there's a lot of players available."
Nonis, who took over the position of general manager from Brian Burke before the start of the season, added that not much is happening in trade talks at the moment but he's sure that more meaningful talks will take place on Tuesday.
"The calls have picked up but its been relatively slow so far," he said.

What Really Counts as Exercise?
Regular life often feels like a workout but does it count toward the 30 minutes of physical activity you're supposed to get each day to ward off weight gain and heart disease? Sometimes! The facts, from Robert Stoner, president of the American Health and Fitness Association:
Juzant/Digital Vision/Getty ImagesBack Next
Carrying your baby: It's not exercise.
It may leave your arms sore, but hoisting a baby or even a toddler doesn't rate as a workout in the health sense because it doesn't engage your cardiovascular system. What's more, studies show that women carrying things slow down, which prevents you from burning as many fat calories as you would walking solo or pushing a stroller briskly for 20 minutes.
Manzo Niikura/NEOVISION/Getty ImagesBack Next
Dashing up and down the stairs: It's exercise!
Stair workouts slash more calories than walking does up to 100 calories in 15 minutes. So making 10 trips up and down between floors of your house counts as at least part of your daily workout requirement.
Paul Bradbury/OJO Images/Getty ImagesBack Next
Shopping at the mall: It's exercise!
Oh, yeah! Mall walking, even when interrupted by browsing, adds up to a surprisingly solid exercise session. You'll burn 100 calories per half hour.
Dougal Waters/Photographer's Choice RF/Getty ImagesBack Next
Trying on a dozen outfits: It's exercise!
There's a reason fitting rooms (or just trying to pick out the perfect big-day-at-work outfit) make you sweat: You're doing leg lifts and arm stretches and walking in place, and eliminating about 100 calories per half hour.
Kent Mathews/Collection Riser/Getty ImagesBack Next
Having sex: It's not exercise.
Unless you're trying out the Kama Sutra, getting it on doesn't raise your heart rate and burns only about 50 calories per half hour. But of course, it has other benefits....
AE Pictures Inc./Digital Vision/Getty ImagesBack Next
Cleaning the house: It's exercise!
Doing some light cleaning, like dusting and changing the sheets, for a half hour burns about 90 calories. More intense tasks, like mopping the floor or washing the windows, burns up to 160 calories in 30 minutes.
DreamPictures/VStock/Blend Images/Getty ImagesBack Next
Shoveling snow: It's exercise!
Bust out the boots and shovels! Clearing away snow from your driveway burns more calories than some gym workouts 215 per half hour. But it can also cause injuries. Do it the right way with the tips here.

5 Roasting Pans For Any Budget
Turkey Day is right around the corner and if you don't have a roasting pan don't worry — there are plenty to be had. Even better is that there really is a roasting pan for every budget.
For those folks who like more high-end cookware there's Calphalon — the ever trusty company that has never done me wrong (I inherited a rather expensive roasting pan from my mother-in-law). The prices for that one start around $90 but if you can swing the expense it is definitely worth it.
However, before I was lucky enough to inherit such an expensive piece, I used the roasting pan from IKEA and honestly — it's perfectly capable of roasting up a beautiful chicken!
• Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Roasting Pan, $129.95 at Calphalon
• Staub 2 Quart Oval Dish, $109.99 at Kitchen Kapers
• Tramontina Small Roasting Pan, $39.95 at Crate and Barrel
• Staub Vertical Chicken Roaster, $99.95 at Williams-Sonoma
• KONCIS Roasting Pan, $9.99 at IKEA

Does anybody know when to use a roasting pan with a lid and when to use one without a lid? I purchased a roasting pan for to roast my tandoori Thanksgiving turkey (awesome) last month, and I was confused by the lidded and non-lidded variety of pans.
Also the 5 qt. Le Creuset Roasting pan in a variety of colors for $200 :)
We just bought a Calphalon set at Bed Bath and Beyond last weekend (a roaster, rack, lifters and a baster) on sale for $79.99 (or $64 with the ubiquitous 20% coupons!).
Just check that the Ikea one doesn't have a mote that runs along the sides. Stuff falls in there and it makes making the gravy very difficult. I wish I had thought of this before I bought it.
I also use the roasting pan to mix fruit cake (no bowl is large enough.) So I looked for high, smooth, sloping sides and sturdy enough to handle 10 pounds of brandied fruit, nuts and batter. Mine is from Target ($12?) and has lasted for 5 years.
Just looked at that 9.99 ikea one it's tiny.
Length: 10 1/4 " Width: 7 7/8 " Height: 2 1/8 "
There is a bigger one, but it is pretty shallow. We decided to go with a $13 rectangle granite ware one from target.

Don't miss this eye-popping annual event! Art students taking 3-D Design will parade through the Quad on Monday, May 6, at 3:30 p.m. wearing the huge, paper mache heads they created. After the parade, step inside Lipkin Theatre to hear students explain the concept behind their designs, as the heads are supposed to symbolize a topic that has important meaning to them.

UPDATE: I found the rest of the shades! I've swatched all 10 shades, see the other 5 which includes a bit more color variation!
swatches & review of the original Kate Moss line for Rimmel (the ones in the black tube) then you know I'm a huge fan! Our partners across the pond had these ages before us & they actually have access to more shades...but I snapped up all of the shades availible at my CVS! There are 5 total so stay tuned for thoughts!
original lipsticks except a nice shade of red. The top is slanted with the Rimmel crown icon & signed by Kate Moss in black. They are your usual twist up tube.
Like I had said before, there were more shades available in other countries. I feel like we didn't get as much variety but I still like these shades. These are matte lipsticks & long wearing without being harsh or too drying. Like all other matte shades, you need to start with a clean lip base. I usually exfoliate then apply lip balm before my makeup routine. When I'm done, I blot it off & use that as a smooth canvas. I'll break each of the shades down below!
Left to right Rimmel Matte Kate Moss shades in 101, 103, 104, 109, & 113.
103- Medium cool pink. Love this, perfect go to pink shade.
104- Dusty rose pink. I love dusty rose type shades year round so this is great!
109- Bright orange coral. I love oranges so this is a great addition, can't wait till spring!
113- Very light yellow/creamsicle toned nude. This one is SO hard for me to pull off because I'm so cool toned. I think this will be perfect as a concealer shade to lighten my lips & make other colors pop!
What do you guys think of these shades? I wish there had been a purple or red, I would love to see a matte version from them! If you love matte lippies, the price is way afforadable & I'm hoping these will be moved to permanent status in the drugstore!

In 1980, EMD released the GP50, one of the final models using the 645-model diesel engine. The GP50 used the new 16-cylinder 645F-series engine producing 3500 horsepower through the new AR-15 alternator. The AC electrical current from the alternator was rectified to DC current to power the four new D87 traction motors. The first GP50s were fifty units built for Chicago NorthWestern starting in May 1980. Seventy units for Southern, ten units for Missouri Pacific and ten units for Burlington Northern completed the first year s production. Twenty more GP50s for Southern, an additional twenty for Missouri Pacific and thirty for Santa Fe were built in 1981. In 1985, fifteen units went to the Santa Fe and 53 to Burlington Northern. These were Phase II versions with straight-sill frame and free-flow or laundry chute traction motor blower bulge. They were the last GP50s built, bringing the production total to 278 units. Until the early 1990s, the GP50s on all five railroads could be found on almost any kind of mainline train and were mixed with that road s other power. However, GP50s were often assigned in three or four unit sets to hotshot piggyback trains. Santa Fe and Southern also had GP50s equipped as masters for remote-control operations (distributed power in today s terms). Santa Fe used theirs on coal trains out of New Mexico, while Southern used theirs on manifest trains on the CNO TP between Cincinnati, Ohio and Chattanooga, Tennessee. In later years the GP50s migrated to general service including locals.Less

I purchased the 2 burner Kenmore gas grill to replace a 3 burner grill only 4 years old. The old grill just melted away. The burners leaked and the tubing just deteriorated to the point of no return. So after checking many gas grills I decided to try the Kenmore gas grill with cast iron grates. What a difference in cooking! Wow, I have a lot of wind in my area and it is hard to get even cooking on my outdoor grill. To my surprise the food I cooked was done evenly no matter where I place the meat on the grill. I found the burners were easy to control and burned evenly across. I was concerned I wouldn?t have enough space but found that the whole cooking area could be used. Before I could only cook on the back part of the grill and over the burners. This is a great grill and if it lasts it?s worth every penny spent.

Really like the small footprint of this grill and it looks like it'll be easy to clean. Only took an hour to assemble and was very straightforward. Box was bigger than expected, so I had to unpack the box into my sedan in order to get it home. If you need a grill cover, look at the Weber 7569 cover, which zips down to a smaller size that fits this grill perfectly.

Has negatives, back of grill is not fully enclosed, which means rats can access the back of the grill, and they will. I will enclose the back myself to deter entrance, otherwise meets my needs very well

I was in search for a smaller grill so that I was able to keep it on my deck, which I step out onto from my kitchen. And I have been purchasing Kenmore grills in the past and by far my favorite for durability I always do research and read reviews on the internet before I make any decisions. And this past Sunday I went to Sears and purchased this gas grill, and fortunately they had one in stock that was already assembled. I brought it home and attached the propane tank and this grill fired right up and have been cooking my dinners every night since. This grill offers many good qualities, the size is perfect and you can extend a shelf on either side when needed, and collapse the sides when you are done cooking. And do not let the size scare you, you can cook for one or you can cook for many. I like that the propane tank is hidden behind the door, which makes it easy for turning on and off the propane tank. And foremost, I have always purchased the extended warranty for all the grills that I have purchased, and so I went ahead and purchased the 5 year warranty and it feels good to know that I am covered for the extent of my grill and if I do need service, Sears will come to your home and fix it. I love this grill and am so glad that I made this purchase and will enjoy many dinners in the future.

Purchase online for better discount. Looks great and very well construted. Stainless steel with cast iron grates. Get yourself a nice cover and you are good to go. The foldable side shelfs and a big plus if you have little space as it allows minimal storage space. 28" wide with sides folded down.
Freedom, PA

We ordered on-line and picked this grill up at the store. After reading Tim Gggg review we inquired "could we have one that was already built." The customer service representative was able to full-filled that request at the store. You can fold the sides for easy storage a feature we were looking for in grill. My husband had been shopping for a replacement grill for the last two months prior to picking this product. We brought it on sale so the price met our budget.
Garland, TX

Heads up: although the pictures make it seem that this product is 100% stainless sided. The lower cabinet and firebox are coated steel. The lower sides are actually painted grey. Assembly: Lots of screws, but with quality threaded panel inserts to make a snug fit. The only problem was that one of the mounts for the caster wheels were drilled too large and there was no threading. I had to redrill to M8x1.25. Grillin; Got HOT 450+ (by temp gage) Can't complain, the cast iron soaks up the heat and I cooked two 1inch porterhouses pretty evenly without fiddlin at medium, medium-low flame setting. Sear marks were awesome. Some flare-ups but I attribute that to my skill level. Overall: I wavered between this and the infrared product, I did not want a bothersome cleaning experience so I got this one. Still a big grill, but looks good (need to cover it for security). Cooks well, simple to clean, and when parts break the sears/kenmore website is awesome (prior cheapo grill hung on for >7 years). I'll update when I have more time cooking

The dream of playing for Canada this holiday season is over for nine more players, as the national men's junior team made its final cuts Wednesday morning in preparation for the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championship.
Seventeen-year-olds Ryan Nugent-Hopkins of the Red Deer Rebels and Kitchener Rangers defenceman Ryan Murphy were released, along with Everett Silvertips blueliner Ryan Murray.
Both Nugent-Hopkins and Murphy are projected Top 10 selections in next year's NHL draft, while Murray - a 16-year-old - is expected to go high in the 2012 draft.
"Definitely it doesn't feel good, but getting the opportunity as a 17-year-old was really good for me," Nugent-Hopkins said. "I really enjoyed the camp and I look forward to coming back next year.
"I don't think I'd do anything differently. If I looked back and thought I had changed things, I'd have regrets. I think I played overall pretty good."
Other skaters sent home included Chicago Blackhawks prospect Brandon Pirri, Shawinigan winger Michael Bournival, Notre Dame's Riley Sheahen and defenceman Mark Pysyk of the Edmonton Oil Kings.
Netminders JP Anderson and Calvin Pickard were let go, leaving Olivier Roy and Mark Visentin as the goaltending tandem for this year's squad.
"I don't think I played my best, which is tough to live with," said Pickard.
The moves leave Dave Cameron and his coaching staff with a 22-man roster, with 13 forwards, seven defencemen and two goalies.
The defence will be made up of returnees Jared Cowen, Calvin de Haan and Ryan Ellis along with Dylan Olsen, Simon Despres, Tyson Barrie and Erik Gudbranson.
Up front, lone returning forward Brayden Schenn leads a baker's dozen that includes Carter Ashton, Casey Cizikas, Brett Connolly, Cody Eakin, Marcus Foligno, Curtis Hamilton, Quinton Howden, Ryan Johansen, Zack Kassian, Louis Leblanc, Jaden Schwartz and 18-year-old Sean Couturier.
Canada will play three exhibition games beginning Monday against Switzerland, with the 2011 World Junior Hockey Championship beginning on Boxing Day in Buffalo.

Tallahassee, FL - One dollar a month. Sounds like a deal. But, some say it's actually more like a steal.
A former state employee charged with embezzling money is ordered to pay back nearly 15,000 dollars at a rate of only $1 a month.
Tallahassee business owner, Bill Poole, says he got a call saying he owed close to $100,000 in sales tax. "I told them they were crazy." He says.
Authorities say an employee at the Florida Department of Revenue stole the money.
Deloris Speed was arrested for the theft back in 2011. A judge recently ordered $14,817.62 in restitution to be made in payments of $1 per month.
That would mean it would be 1,235 years before the money is paid back.
Pool says, "That woman, who put my life, my family, everything I worked for at risk, gets away Scott-free."
Poole says Speed took the money when he went to D.O.R. to pay taxes on his restaurant, '1 Fresh Stir Fry.' "She would board me. What that means is she'd put plastic under the receipt, write me a receipt for let's say $10,000. When I left, she'd pull the plastic out, write a receipt for, let's say $5,000; put $5,000 in her pocket and walk out the door and go home."
Poole says it's a good thing he saved his receipts. He says, "The reality of what happened was I walked out in front of a car and somebody pulled me back and I was okay. But, I could've been killed. Everything that I worked for, everything that I dreamed, everything that I loved could've disappeared."
Speed was also given three years of probation and ordered to write Poole a letter of apology every six months.
"If I was the person that did the wrong deed, I would have to pay back every penny, penalties. I would lose my house, lose my business, lose my standing in the community. That's what's upsetting because there is a double standard."
Eyewitness News called to ask Judge Fulford about this sentence, but, we were told she is not allowed to comment on cases.
Speed's attorneys have not returned our calls.
The Department of Revenue says, "We encourage the electronic filing of tax payments which provides benefits to both the taxpayers and to the State. For the taxpayers, filing errors are detected and corrected and for the state, the money is quickly deposited into the state treasury."

Want a nest egg? You have to build it
The stock market -- or bonds or a money market -- cannot make your future secure unless you have money in them. So start saving.
This post comes from J.D. Roth at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
"Wanna see something neat?" Kris asked recently. She was holding the year-end statement from her work-based retirement plan.
"Sure," I said. "Show me the money."
She handed the statement to me. "Look at my account balance," she said. "Look how it's grown. It went down a little bit in 2008 (10%), but because I kept contributing, the balance has gone crazy during the last two years."
Crazy good, she meant, as in up 280%.
"How do you earn such great returns?" I asked. "I'll bet readers at Get Rich Slowly would love to hear."
"Well, it's not just investment returns," Kris said. "A lot of that growth is because I save so much. I max out the allowable contribution in this account. I started by contributing 8% of my gross (pretax) pay. When I got my raise the next year, I bumped that to something like 10%. Then 12% with the next raise. And so on."
"What percentage do you contribute now?" I asked.
"I'm not sure," she said. "Last year, I did the max, which is $16,500 a year. I'd contribute more if they'd let me, but they don't, so I just invest it elsewhere. Like my Roth IRA and my mutual funds." (All of Kris' investments are in mutual funds, but she calls one particular account her "mutual funds.")
Kris smiled. "Pretty cool, huh?" she said. Yes. Yes, it is. Pretty cool, my savvy wife.
Here's the No. 1 rule
There are a number of great lessons here, including the wisdom of sticking with an investment plan even during a down market. But one in particular stands out. Kris' experience highlights the most important piece of the retirement savings puzzle: The No. 1 factor in determining how much you'll have at retirement is the amount you save. Please reread that sentence, because it's not as obvious as it may sound. Post continues after video.
The economy, your choice of funds, your tax bracket -- all of these play a role in your final retirement balance, but none of them is as important as how much you've actually set aside. All of the compounding in the world won't help you if you never save any money. But if you consistently save as much as you can, you'll be better able to weather market downturns -- and take advantage of bull markets like the one we've enjoyed the past two years. The more you save now, the more you'll have when you need it.

The national economy vs. your personal economy
Last January, Get Rich Slowly and MoneyRates asked readers of both sites for their opinion about the current state of the economy. More than 1,200 people responded. This January, we asked the same question and received nearly 2,100 answers. The results are certainly unscientific, but they're interesting:
Where do you think the economy sits right now?
- Strong growth. Full steam ahead! 2010, 2%; 2011, 3%.
- On solid ground and growing some, thank goodness: 2010, 15%; 2011, 26%.
- Stagnant. Not growing, but at least not getting worse: 2010, 43%; 2011, 39%.
- Not horrible, but looks like it's going downhill: 2010, 20%; 2011, 17%.
- Free falling. I'm bracing for the worst: 2010, 21%; 2011, 15%.
Regardless of the state of the national economy, it's important to remember that ultimately, you are responsible for your personal economy. When times are flush, you need to set something aside for the future, be it through a retirement savings plan, savings account or other method. Then, when things turn dark and dismal, you'll be better shielded from the slings and arrows life hurls your direction. My wife, for example, has done a fine job of ignoring the world at large while trying to improve her own situation.
It's been a while since I stressed this point, so let me repeat what I've said before. A strong personal economy is built on personal-finance fundamentals such as these:
- Clear financial goals.
- An adequate emergency fund.
- Limited use of debt.
- The practice of thrift.
- Smart investing for the future.
The national economic situation will affect our personal financial decisions to some degree. When unemployment soars, it's important to maintain an adequate emergency fund and to limit your use of debt. When the stock market is down, you need to understand your investment objectives and how these relate to your risk tolerance and your investment timeline. And when the stock market is up -- as it is now -- you need to ask the same questions.
Ultimately, all you can control are your personal finances. Take matters into your own hands: Save for retirement today.

FitEar Private C435 Custom In-Ear Monitors
"DISCLAIMER This review is based on the demo set at Jaben Singapore, which I have demoed extensively no less than 3 times. Though fit is pretty good, but as perfect fit is not achieved, I shall not be commenting much on the bass of C435. FitEar is a household name in Japan, though they fast gaining popularity in Singapore. TG334 has been a rather big revelation here..." --Joe-Siow
FitEar TO GO! 334
" **Fitear To Go 334** It's very expensive, it doesn't fit the best due to its huge shell, yet I love it all the same. The sound is sublime. Normally I prefer dynamic IEMs for their weighty low end and texture that most BA earphones can't touch, but the tonal quality, transparency, and high level of detail retrieval bring the Fitear to the top of my list. The openness and..." --cn11
FitEar MH334 custom in-ear monitor
"One of the most underrated models in the Fitear range of IEMs is the MH334. As stated on the Fitear website, the MH334 is voiced by one of Japan's top mastering engineers, Mitsuharu Harada, In fact, the MH334 was designed to be a mastering studio reference monitor. So, this would be the natural choice for someone looking for a more natural but nonetheless clear sound. In fact, I..." --Kiats
Woodees IESW101V Vintage Noise Isolating Stereo Earphones
"First of all, I'd like to mention overall view of this headphones, it's really stylish. I've listened to them with Fiio E6. Without burn-in, their sound IMO is extremely owerbrighten, but after 20-25 hours it's become more straight and normal. I think this headphones sounds good for vocals, instrumentals and classical music, due to nice airy highs and mids. On some rock songs they're..." --cleg
FitEar MH335DW Custom In-Ear Monitors
" FitEar has gained a great amount of respect these days, thanks to the venerable FitEar To Go! 334 UIEM. After having owned a TG! 334 I decided to take the plunge into my first custom, the FitEar MH335DW. The first thing I have to mention is the whole process in obtaining these customs. FitEar is a very exclusive company, and apparently there are only two places where you can have..." --VisceriousZERO
FitEar TO GO! 111
"Check out my video review as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiFd4lLINAk&feature=youtu.be The f111 is a beautiful IEM. Even with it's "typical" fit, the kind of fit you would normally use with this type of earphone, they sound great. They are warmer and less crisp than the etymotic er4s that is its cousin (they use the same driver). However, with a very..." --luisdent

The more players there are in a string orchestra, the easier it tends to be to hide slackness in unanimity of attack and line. Which makes the playing of the Janáček Chamber Orchestra all the more impressive: this body of only twelve musicians (4–3–2–2–1) plays with such singularity of purpose and depth of tone that it's easy to imagine one is listening to a full-sized orchestral string section (the impression is arguably enhanced by the resonant but not over-clouding church acoustic of the recording).
This wedding of chamber-like flexibility and tonal richness is at its best in Richard Tognetti's masterly transcription of Janáček's 'Kreutzer Sonata' Quartet for orchestral strings – none of the work's textural audacity or emotional volatility are lost here. The players also bring suavity and charm to the same composer's early Suite, written in 1877 under the spell of Dvořák's string Sererade. And there is both tenderness and verve in the Study for strings by Pavel Haas, a work of remarkable optimism given that it was written at the Terezín concentration camp in 1943. Martinů's own string-orchestra arrangement of his 1932 Sextet completes this immensely enjoyable disc, with a performance full of crisp rhythms and well-shaped lines.
