Taylor Phinney of the BMC Racing Team overcame rain-slickened course conditions in Friday's individual time trial to move into fourth overall with two days remaining in the Eneco Tour of Benelux.
Didn't Take Many Risks
Phinney was fastest of all the general classification contenders on the 14.7-kilometer course, but couldn't match times set by riders who enjoyed dry conditions. Jesse Sergent (Team Radioshack) won with a time 30 seconds faster than Phinney, who was eighth on the day. "It was pretty wet when I started and ended up clearing a bit, but the roads were definitely wet," Phinney said. "I managed to stay upright, which was good, and I didn't take too many risks. I'm happy for my former teammate, Jesse. He's one of the best up-and-coming time trialists in the world." BMC Racing Team Assistant Director Rik Verbrugghe said the rapidly drying course was good for Phinney, but even better for the riders starting after him. "If he has the same conditions as the top guys, I think Taylor moves into the top two," Verbrugghe said. With ninth place on the day, Edvald Boasson Hagen (Sky Pro Cycling) replaced Philippe Gilbert as race leader.

The International Danube Festival has been taking place every other year since 1998, putting the spotlight on a different topical theme from politics or culture each time. A wide spectrum of cultures and lifestyles join together for the festival in Ulm and Neu-Ulm to celebrate the international Danube partnership and to strengthen relations between the communities connected by the river Danube.
Looking for an alternative to a quiet New Year's Eve? Then Berlin is the perfect place to be. Join a million others for an amazing night in the German capital, and make it one New Year's Eve that you'll never forget.
Bonn celebrates with the Rhine in Flames but Cologne hosts the Cologne Lights, one of Europe's most beautiful and most spectacular musical fireworks displays, right in the middle of the Rhine – an atmospheric extravaganza that will light up your eyes and bring joy to your heart.
A smattering of Japanese is always very useful in Düsseldorf , capital of North Rhine-Westphalia and home to Germany's largest Japanese community, but especially on Japan Day, the annual event when the city's Japanese – around 7,000 people – join a few hundred thousand other Düsseldorfers and international visitors for an enthralling celebration.
For three days in May, the people of Hamburg celebrate one another, their city and in particular their port, the largest sea port in Germany.

When it's the Wies'n – local speak for Oktoberfest – in Munich , the Bavarian capital, around seven million people make the pilgrimage to Theresienwiese. This is the world's biggest beer festival, so the catering is on a massive scale: millions of roast chickens are eaten and a veritable herd of spit-roast oxen is washed down by several million towering mugs of beer. Dating back over 200 years, the Oktoberfest is a hallowed tradition that, despite its size, still spells out what it means to be Bavarian.

Maxwell & Ursula's Light Rental Reno: Floors - #2
Renovation Diary
Name: Maxwell & Ursula
Type of Project: Light renovation of a rental apt
Location: Soho, NYC
Type of building: Two bedroom apartment
Things are moving slowly, as I'm piecing things together on a tight budget, but this week shows how powerful it is to care for your floors. The base of any good home is a healthy shell and the floors get the most wear. If I were to try to hide the bad floors it would haunt this home forever. If you look at the last installment where the floors were undone, you can see how raw and low energy it felt then. Now the floors are clean and sharp and the walls look better too.
The Renovation Diaries are a new collaboration with our community in which we feature your step by step renovation progress and provide monetary support towards getting it done in style. See all of our Reno Diaries here.
From Maxwell:
To quickly give this space new energy, I redid all the floors as efficiently as possible with refinishing and carpet. I prefer well sanded wood floors in general, but carpeting is great for bedrooms. I also like to go dark with my floors as it makes walls seem taller, is warmer and provides for more contrast when you lay rugs and furniture on top of it. After laying down this warm, dark layer, I'll follow up with lighter and more colorful layers, which will also add to the depth and richness of the space.
The Wood Floors:
Vincent Devaney ( email@example.com) did the floors and he's been a great resource for me (he's done floors for me for almost ten years) with quick service and a good price. What you're seeing is
a. Sand
b. Stained with a waterbased analyne die
c. Stained with a mix of ebony and coffee brown penetrating stain
d. Finished with Basic Coatings Streetshoe Satin waterbased polyurethane
The Carpeted Bedrooms:
I like to carpet bedrooms for softness and better, quieter acoustics. I went to ABC Carpet and found the cheapest warm, beefy wool I could find. It's a 100% wool BERBER TAUPE.
The Kitchen Floor:
The tile in the kitchen was old and cracked and dispiriting, so I asked Vincent if he could cover it. He said he could with some leftover wood he had from a shoe store he did recently. It's not a big piece of floor, but the difference is tremendous. Now only the bathroom floor is still a bit sad, but I'm hoping I can clean it up and it will get by.
This week I start work on removing some kitchen cabinets, the counter and reconfiguring the closet space in the two bedrooms. Dirty work for the next week or two and then putting back in a new countertop, commercial metal open shelving and new storage.

How are you able to do this kind of renovation to a rental property? Did you get Landlord permissions? costs of floor and carpet would also be really interesting to know.
I agree with your reasons for preferring carpeting in the bedroom however the only comment I'd make is that it is the worst thing to have if you have allergies to dust mites. Years ago the allergist told me to rip up the carpeting in my son's bedroom for that reason....now I suffer from allergies so hardwood it is for me.
I'm surprised you redid the floors before dealing with all the mess of removing kitchen cupboards, bathroom reno etc and all the mess. Why, pray tell???
Sorry to disagree (and I have and like dark hardwood floors) but you've lost so much of the grain with this finish and that's what hardwoods are all about. I hope it's just your pictures and that the floors look richer in person.
I am advocate for NO carpet anywhere in the house. After seeing what is under them when they are removed...... you can never get them totally clean, and all that dust and filth is trapped down there, and how often do people change their carpet?! Wood floor can be cleaned, there is just no contest. I know people like soft things for their feet to walk on, especially upon getting up but nice fuzzy slippers are an easy fix or get an flat woven rug you can take out side and beat or have taken to have professionally cleaned.... anyway after that tirade I will say to each his own. HA! It looks like the floors turned out really nicely. Are you planing to paint the walls, give them color, or leave them white?
@mmhardy, if you click on the link in the post to the prior installment of this series, Maxwell talks about the apartement being owned by a friend who traded one month's rent for Maxwell to redesign and reno the place.
@moriahrose I agree about carpet. Rugs are easier to toss when allergy or insect issues arise. I had fleas in my home in my flor carpet tiles. At least I could just pull everything up and toss them in the dumpster as three rounds of bombing didn't kill them (they just hid deeper in the carpet fibers).
I'm curious too why the floors were done first. Looks great though.
Is the wood floor in the kitchen laid over the tile? Is there a moisture barrior? How is it secured/installed? Please let us know. Thanks. Chandler
what a huge difference! love it!
I have re-done apartments before and just decided I was willing to lose my deposit as it was my "home" so it can be done and of course you don't want to go outrageous..
Making a deal works well, this works when you show your landlord what you have done and what you want to do....
Can't wait to see the next post on this apartment!
Beautiful job Maxwell. I could easily see this paired with a pale shade of aqua on the walls. I am not such a big fan of grain on hardwood floors. I think that is called 'clear' when there is little to no grain. As an asthmatic I prefer minimal to no carpetting. I am looking forward to the next steps of your renovation.
I get all the pros and cons of carpeting bedrooms, but just want to add that if you have someone living in the unit beneath you, they more than likely really, really appreciate your carpeted bedroom! In fact, my condo association requires a carpeted bedroom for that very reason.
The kitchen floor is a marked improvement. I'm curious how the levels work -- is there a step up? I used to live in a house where tile was covered up because it was laid down with asbestos glue -- and the half-inch difference made everyone trip the first few times they came into the kitchen. Can flooring be laid directly on the tile?
I second what MulchMaid said.
I am sorry but I much preferred the floors in the ligher finish.
I agree in principle about No Carpeting. Bare floors are cleaner and sharper looking. BUT--if you're above a "certain age", carpeting could save your life. I've fallen in my apartment several times, and thanks to carpeting I didn't break any bones. I guess you pick your poison: dust mites or broken hips. At a certain point in your life it's no contest!
Way too dark w/ coffee and ebony brown stain dominating. Kind of gloomy. The original color allows light to bounce around. And I guess I'll take my chances and not have dust mites!
Loving the coffee/ebony mix. A lot. It's amazing how much better the space looks, compared to the lighter floors. Great job. Can't wait to see more of the progress.
One more vote for dark floors. I thought the old ones looked fine but kept in mind that you'd said the photos were too complimentary to them. But when I saw the dark brown, oh yeah baby, that's what I like.
The industry needs to just bring out more area rugs, flexible ones like in the old days that you could just take outside and shake! I LOVE carpeting underfoot but gyah, like moriah said, I just yesterday pulled up some berber with a felt underlayment that was down only about seven years, and there was a layer of fine, light brown dust/dirt that was so thick, you could NOT see the floor underneath. I nearly fainted.
Will you be able to do anything about the bath? If not, I'd understand, but it seems like even new faucets might be really helpful, at a minimum!
Thank you for sharing, this is exciting!
I like the overlook, but laying carpeting over hardwood floors? I don't get that at all...
Such an improvement. The floors will be the last thing I do in my space, but I know they'll have the biggest impact. I can't wait.
I'm not a fan of dark flooring of any type (wood or carpeting) but I look forward to see what happens with the rest of the renovation. The kitchen is crying out for white cabinets to match the appliances instead of that awful almond tone.
I'm sure the place will look great when Maxwell is all finished with it. We can all add our two cents, but it's Maxwell's place and he is working with his own design ideas. As far as carpet over hardwood, I'd guess it's because it's a lot cozier in those harsh NY winters. And Maxwel does have a young child to consider. I can't wait to see the final results! Bet it will be awesome!
Yeah for hardwood in the kitchen!
The floors look dynamite. I can't wait to see the final "after" pics of the whole renovation!
It's really fun to see a project from beginning to end and learn something about your process in thinking through each step. I'm looking forward to seeing the kitchen and bath.
I like seeing the kinds of changes wrought on a small budget with practical limitations. Huge budgets and lots of architectural changes are... meh. So what if someone gets a great space with an unlimited budget? It's limitations of time, money, and scope that demonstrate real imagination and skill.
Also, I really prefer carpet in bedrooms for all the reasons listed. But we're in the process of changing to hardwood because of our pets. Carpets and pets don't work for us. Sadly, it came down to getting rid of one or the other. The pets won.
I can't quite understand the kitchen floor. Is that wide piece of wood meant to be the reducer strip between levels?
If you own and want to put carpet in a bedroom, fine. But it is really stupid to do in a rental. Because people looking for rentals will pass it by. Especially in NYC, where hardwood IS the norm, and highly preferred. And because many people have allergies to dust and asthma. And because - eeew! - if you didn't put it in, you have no idea how dirty it is! I was recently looking to rent, and passed up everything with carpet. Even if it was new-ish. Allergies, asthma, aesthetics, and eeew, in my case. And all the carpet is ugly tan anyway, as this is, not that nicer color would matter much.
Loved the floors in the before pictures. The dark ones soak up the light. They look good in some places, but here, where the kitchen is far from the windows, you really need the lighter floors to enhance the light and bring it deeper into the apartment. The before wood floors did this very nicely.
Not that I live with bare floors. I have rugs and padding over my hardwood almost everywhere. I like color and the feel of them underfoot, and would use rugs even if not required. You can soak up sound with rugs and padding just fine, you don't need to install carpeting to do that. And you can send them out to be cleaned every now and then, which you can't do with carpeting, which just stays dirty, or grows mold and mildew when washed because it can't really dry quickly inside on the floor. Those of us who are allergic to it sense the presence of mold and mildew (in addition to years of dust) when we walk in right away. A rental with carpeting is by definition dusty and dirty, and if the carpet has been cleaned, moldy and mildewy as well.
I like area rugs with padding in my rooms and hallways. I like not having a rug under the bed in the bedroom, as it does get dusty and is harder to clean a rug under there, but easy to clean hardwood with a dustmop. But I have rugs all around the bed, where I walk, with padding. Rugs in my bedroom are not wool knotted rugs as I have elsewhere, but cotton rag rugs that are easy to pick up and shake out, and to wash in the washing machine sometimes, for less dust in the bedroom. Buildings require rugs and padding; they don't require carpeting.
If you want a carpeted bedroom, as a friend did where her child played on the floor everywhere and made noise that disturbed the apartment below, and it was a hard size to find an area rug to fit, do this: get a carpet remnant cut to fit the room, to avoid putting those carpet nail holes in the gorgeous wood floors, and to be able to send it out for cleaning, to be able to take it when you move, or sell it. After carefully picking non-toxic carpet (oh yeah, did I mention that much carpet is toxic and gives people headaches and asthma?), my friend found that the padding the organic green carpet place put under it had been treated with mildew killers that comes with a warning that studies show it is potentially toxic to her child, who plays on the floor. Apparently, mildew is such a problem with carpet that it is impossible, even for a green store, to find padding that does not have toxic stuff in it. Not so for are rug padding - that is usually untreated, I think.
So, if you do want a totally carpeted bedroom, get a carpet remnant cut to fit. All wool like the carpet they used here is good for you, though some synthetics are not toxic (it is just harder to tell if they are are are not), and buying a remnant is really cheap. Have the carpet place bind the edges (by sewing binding onto them, not using glue). Now you have an area rug, so go buy area rug - not carpet - padding, at a good persian rug store, to put underneath it. You can send it for cleaning, take it when you move, or sell it. No holes ruining your floor, no years of trapped dust, no mildew or mold.
You've just lowered the value of the rental considerably in the eyes of the next renter, and thus to its owner. Congrats!
Oh yeah, not to mention pet dander - stays in carpeting years after the pet has moved out, even when cleaned, as I found out the hard way staying with friends once. A lot of people are allergic - to pets, as well as to dust, mold and mildew, and others are phobic about dirt - so an apartment you can thoroughly clean is definitely more valuable than one you cannot.
Maybe a little 'suburban' for this project, but for allergy sufferers, a good alternative to carpet in the bedroom is Marmoleum. It's soft underfoot, good for sound insulation, hygienic and beautiful:
Also, it comes in lovely colours, great for a child's room:
Love the floors, Maxwell. We have had to keep our floors light because we have cats. Dark floors and cats do not go well together unless you're willing to vacuum...a lot. Nevertheless, when putting new hardwood floors upstairs (we pulled up the wool berber, and to those of you who commented: you're right; what was under them was unspeakable) I really wanted ebonized wood but decided against it for purely practical reasons. Sigh.
Why were the bedroom floors not stained to match the rest of the floors? I liked the original floors, but if you are going to stain, you might want to do the whole thing. The next person will want to pull out the carpet and will find non-matching floors.
Its one's own choice, I personally prefer lighter shade flooring,it make the room appear bigger and brighter
Looks good. Can't wait to see what it looks like with furniture.
I love the dark floors! Any light that is lost from the finish can be gained in paint, proper lighting and clean windows.
I really detest carpet but bedroom carpeting is forgivable, and luvmodernism made me rethink wood floors in my coming old age!
I would also imagine that a soft wool carpet feels nice on the feet in the middle of a NY winter. I can't wait to see this space furnished!
Adore the dark floors. We stained our blond floors and it really looks so much more warm and cozy, not to mention more elegant and beautiful. Goes well with our furniture too.
Wow but I have trouble reading rants that tell someone why he shouldn't like what he likes.
I love the rich floor color, and a few rugs/bright pieces of furniture and glass frames on the wall will liven the old place right up! I look forward to the next developments - it's such a nice open space.
Mu feeling: a dark stained wood floor "grounds" a room. In our 1860's Italianate I did "blonde" floors, the first time around. It was, well, undistinguished. Lots of light pours in here, and we have 12 foot ceilings. Next time around I did a dark stain and the grain certainly shows. yes, all the cat hair does too, plus flour in the kitchen, crumbs from sandwiches, and footprints and lint and dust. But I still love the crispness of dark floor next to the white woodwork. In a more contemporary house I like pale, bleached or pickled floors and we did that in a beach house (imagine tracking sand in on coffee-colored wood floors!), but that medium kind of honey blonde color - doesn't make a statement for me. Oriental rugs look smashing against the dark stain.
@pierre.foucart I don't think any commenters who mentioned allergies were trying to dictate what everyone else should do. In a discussion on flooring it's normal to bring up pros and cons of different types of flooring. What we all prefer depends on our own needs and our location.
There is a small room that was carpeted, and it looks like the wood floor staining stopped at the door. Wouldn't it have been better to continue with the staining into the room then add the carpet later? or why add carpet at all? Stain the wood floor, then use an area rug, or no rug at all. I don't get it? Yes, it would have been additional expense and time, but if someone decided to remove the carpet later there would be the hassle of trying to match the stain.
You might give some thought to porch paint on your bathroom floors. I did a kitchen once and it lasted for years.
What did the porch paint do for your kitchen floor?

Photographer encourages couples to ask hard questions' of potential wedding photographers
Landis-based photographer Blair Phillips, owner of Blair Phillips Photography, recently shared information about what to ask potential wedding photographers during the Bridal Expo held at the County Club of Salisbury.
I am trying to educate brides that are coming in on hard questions that they need to ask the photographer, he said. Like what do you do if your media card fails, what do you do if its partly cloudy on my wedding day, do you know how to combat bright sun?
Phillips said you get what you pay for when it comes to photography.
There are so many photographers now that have entered the market that pick up a camera and call themselves a photographer, he said. Most people nowadays are only interested in price and what Im trying to do is let people know the standard today is good enough is OK and thats what a lot of photographers are doing.
Phillips, who has trained for eight years, said couples should be sure to view lots of samples before deciding on a photographer.
Dont just look at three or four images of their best work, he said. I want to see completed albums that serve as art from the wedding.
Phillips also suggests inquiring about lighting.
Ask do you understand additive lighting during the reception are you going to use the flash on the camera or set up lights? he said.
Making sure your photographer has mechanisms in place to back up photos of the wedding is another thing Phillips said to check into.
If the images are corrupt what do you do, he said. Most photographers would say dont worry about that, its not going to happen, but with my camera Ive got two media card slots.
Phillips said hes willing to meet with anybody to talk to them about photography.
The more we can do to educate our clients the better service theyll receive and the happier theyll be, he said. Make sure that your photographer is experienced enough to be able to work through any situation to give you peace of mind on your wedding day.

Onde Nostre
Italian version with English Subtitles.
Onde Nostre is a lifestyle documentary film that shows the peculiarity of the Italian surf scene and the beauty of this sport, even in a country that's not usually considered a top destination for catching waves.
This film is intended to show the passion and high level of the Italian surfers. Shot mainly in 16mm and super 8 and only a small part is shot digital in order to emphasize the beauty of the landscape. The film has a romantic approach to surfing. Action has a great relevance, with slow motion segments and an emotional editing. Onde Nostre also shows Italian surfers lifestyle and the endless search for good waves in the Mediterranean sea. We travelled in spring of 2010 between Liguria, Tuscany and the western part of Sardinia. The film breathes the grand and powerful landscapes where nature and our surfers are living in symbiosis. We had the chance to get into the lives of our riders, recording their emotions, their expectations and their joy. Showing parts were the human aspects and the hard part of being an athlete comes out.
Onde Nostre is a tribute to our sea (Mare Nostrum) and to the their people that keep on searching, believing in a simple life style made of small but important values: friendship, nature, the joy of doing what we love to do.
Support our sea. Long life to le Nostre Onde.

Valin ArcelorMittal Automotive Steel Co inaugurates landmark automotive steel plant in China
ArcelorMittal scoops three industry awards
ArcelorMittal publishes 2013 annual review and fact book
ArcelorMittal launches 2013 corporate responsibility report
Loudi, China, 15 June 2014 – Valin ArcelorMittal Automotive Steel Co (VAMA) today officially opened its new advanced automotive steel plant in China, beginning a new era of automotive manufacturing in the country.
VAMA, the joint venture between ArcelorMittal and Hunan Valin Iron & Steel Co., will produce high-strength automotive steels that currently have to be imported, for the Chinese market. Located in the economic zone of Loudi, Hunan Province, and built on a greenfield site, this is one of the major investment projects jointly approved by China's National Development and Reform Commission and the Ministry of Commerce. The total investment is 5.2 billion yuan (US$832 million).
The two-year construction project, involving more than 2,000 workers, was completed on schedule, achieving more than six million safe work hours, making it one of the safest steel projects in China. The completed project, which was built in 730 days compared with an industry average of three and a half years, will initially provide more than 600 high-skilled jobs, with plans to create more jobs as production increases.
China has the world's fastest-growing automotive market, recording a 16 per cent increase in car sales to 18 million units last year, and is expected to account for 35 per cent of worldwide automotive growth between now and 2020.
VAMA will produce state-of-the-art grade steels for safe and cost-efficient lightweight design, superior surface quality and coating technology, helping to meet rapid growth in demand for advanced automotive steels in China. The annual production capacity will be 1.5 million tons, including 800,000 tons of cold rolled coils, 200,000 tons of aluminium-coated coils and 500,000 tons of hot-dip galvanised coils. VAMA covers a large range of automotive steel products, including those for visible structural parts, chassis and wheels.
ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel and mining company, has contributed the most advanced automotive steel production technology available, including Advanced and Ultra High Strength Steel (AHSS and UHSS) grades with levels of up to 1,200 MPa, Usibor® 1500 – a steel for hot stamping – and assisted with the completion of the quality control and R&D systems.
VAMA aims to supply international carmakers and Tier 1 suppliers as well as promote high-end solutions to domestic car manufacturers and their supplier networks. These include ArcelorMittal's major customers in China, such as Volkswagen, GM, Ford, PSA, Daimler-Benz, BMW, Toyota, Honda, Renault, Fiat and Nissan, as well as leading domestic manufacturers such as Geely, Chery, Dongfeng, Guangzhou Auto, Shanghai Auto and Changan.
The inauguration ceremony was attended by our company's chairman and CEO Mr Mittal, GMB member Sudhir Maheshwari, VAMA CEO Sanjay Sharma, CEO of India and China Vijay Bhatnagar and vice president automotive worldwide Brian Aranha.
Senior Chinese leaders attended including Mr. Cao Huiquan, chairman and CEO of Hunan Valin Steel, Hunan Governor Du Jiahao, and Hunan Vice Governor Chen Zhaoxiong, underlining the importance of the manufacturing project to the development of the automotive industry in China.
Speaking in Loudi today, Mr Lakshmi Mittal, chairman and CEO of ArcelorMittal, said the completion of the major project with six million safe work hours, on schedule and within budget was a "remarkable achievement which sets a new standard in our industry" adding:
"The most advanced technology has been extended to VAMA, which is therefore ideally positioned to give auto manufacturers greater flexibility to produce lighter, safer and more environmentally friendly cars for customers in China".
Mr Cao Huiquan, chairman and CEO of Hunan Valin Steel said: "The VAMA project is an important milestone for Hunan Valin to transform from a regional niche producer to a full service provider. The success of VAMA relies on the highest efficiency from Valin LYS, to VAMA, to downstream steel service centres, to automotive end-users. Following the example of a small number of Sino-foreign automotive steel joint ventures in China, both Valin and ArcelorMittal are inspired to build a profitable and sustainable VAMA that can become the pride of Hunan Province and the Chinese steel industry."

London, 22 May 2014 - ArcelorMittal is proud to announce it has won 'Deal of the Year', 'Lifetime Achievement' and 'Industry Leader' at this year's Platts Global Metals Awards. The annual awards, which recognise excellence and accomplishments in the global metals industry, were presented in London on 21 May.
ArcelorMittal won the deal of the year category for its acquisition of ThyssenKrupp Steel USA, in a joint venture with Nippon Steel & Sumitomo Metal Corporation (NSSMC). The complex transaction - which completed in February this year - was one of the biggest in the steel industry for years, resulting in ArcelorMittal and NSSMC owning the flagship steel finishing plant AM/NS Calvert in Alabama, USA.
Accepting the award on behalf of ArcelorMittal, Bill Steers, general manager, Americas communications and corporate responsibility, highlighted the importance of this milestone deal for the company:
"It is gratifying to receive recognition from Platts Global Metal awards, highlighting the successful completion of this deal for ArcelorMittal. Along with NSSMC we are now the owners of the most modern steel finishing facility in the world, which will allow us to meet rising demand for steels in the automotive, energy and other important NAFTA markets."
Greg Ludkovsky, vice president for global research and development at ArcelorMittal, took home the prestigious lifetime achievement award, for his unique contribution over the past four decades to innovation in the steel industry. Accepting the award, he spoke of his passion for his chosen profession: "I am very honoured to have been awarded this recognition from Platts. I like to tell people to 'find a job you like - and you will not be working for a single day in your life' – this is how I feel about my work, innovating to create and design new steels for the world".
Speaking about Greg, Lou Schorsch, CEO of ArcelorMittal Americas and Group Management Board member responsible for strategy, technology, R&D, global automotive and commercial co-ordination, said: "Even decades ago, Greg was recognised as an outstanding R&D scientist and manager bringing steel applications to our customers. Today he leads the R&D function at ArcelorMittal with operations on five continents and activities in almost every product category. Despite the scope of these responsibilities Greg continues to be an incredibly fertile source of innovative ideas and solutions, particularly as our customers set ever higher targets for our product. Greg's leadership is ultimately responsible for breakthrough products like our proprietary door ring – used in the Honda SUV MDX".
The third award of the night recognised ArcelorMittal's leadership in the steel industry. With the steel industry having changed beyond recognition in the last 30 years as a result of extensive restructuring and consolidation, the judges awarded ArcelorMittal for its status as the only truly global steelmaker, its leadership in developing new products, its approach to corporate responsibility and the strength of its brand.
The black-tie gala was held in Plaisterers' Hall, London and attracted more than 200 metal leaders from around the world, with around 30 companies reaching the final stages of the awards.

ArcelorMittal, the world's leading steel and mining company, today publishes its 2013 corporate responsibility report, 'Steel: stakeholder value at every stage'. The report focuses on how the company has been adapting and innovating at every stage in its value chain: in its mining and steelmaking operations, its application of design technology into products, and its activities to recycle steel as well as by-products from the steelmaking process. It also details the company's corporate responsibility highlights, including how ArcelorMittal made a direct economic contribution to society of US$78.9 billion in 2013.
Chairman and CEO, Lakshmi Mittal, commented: "More and more, people want to know what value organisations create; not only economic value, but social, environmental and innovative value. This report aims to identify our areas of impact and how we are responding to them with actions that create value for our stakeholders".
"For example, last year we worked on two pioneering solar solutions for low-carbon buildings, Phoster and SolarWall®, and an ultra-lightweight car door for the automotive industry. At the same time, we completed a number of important investments in the Czech Republic, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kazakhstan that will significantly reduce our emissions."
The report is published in an online format and is also fully downloadable. New this year is an interactive infographic, showing how ArcelorMittal is creating value at each stage of the business, promoting good governance in the extraction of raw materials, cutting dust emissions at its steel plants, improving the safety of its workforce and creating low-carbon solutions for the automotive and constructions industries. The report also highlights the company's contributions to the circular economy, by recycling steel on a scale that avoids the emission of 40 million tonnes of CO2, equivalent to the annual emissions of Switzerland.
In particular, the report provides an update on the four pillars of its corporate responsibility strategy: investing in people, making steel more sustainable, enriching our communities and, the commitment that underlies the other three: transparent governance. Highlights of the report include:
The 2013 report received external assurance from Deloitte LLP and maintains the Global Reporting Initiative G3.1 Guidelines at level B+.

Only a few months after his first Sub8 performance at the Ironman Florida Schildknecht already started his 2012 season at the Ironman 70.3 in South Africa. With a solid second place finish the Zurich resident proofed to be in a good shape early this year.
Schildknecht exited the water in seventh place losing about one minute to his strongest competitor Marino Vanhoenacker from Belgium. On the bike the Swiss wasn't able to perform as usual and lost continously time on the soon leading Vanhoenacker. After three weeks in South Africa Schildknecht probably didn't fully recover from the huge training load he had done since he arrived on the southern hemisphere. Even though he was disappointed after the bikesplit he started the run with a fast pace. The fastest run split of the day assured Schildknecht a solid second place finish behind the winner Vanhoenacker. Schildknecht started his racing season unusally early this year and proofed once more that he can manage to build up a good fitness level in a short period of time.

The San Francisco World Championship Trophy Tour brought the Giants' 2010 and 2012 World Series trophies to town. Staff from the team set up the 2-foot tall sterling silver awards, made by Tiffany & Co. in New Jersey, so fans could have their pictures taken with the ultimate baseball memorabilia.
Some, such as 45-year-old Mountain House resident Ruben Holmes, waited more than seven hours for their time with history.
"It's a little bit of history with both trophies being here, I'm excited — rain or shine I would be here," said the lifelong Giants fan. "Every day I wear San Francisco Giants gear, even if it's just socks."
John and Kristi McPartland of Tracy agreed it was the perfect chance to get up close with the trophies.
"We had season tickets for the first seven years at Pac Bell Park (now AT&T Park), and she's never missed opening day," John McPartland said of his wife. "It means a lot to us to have the trophies come here."
The trophies are now part of a family portrait with John and Kristi and their daughters Kahla, 13, and Kassadi, 6. Their friend Brandi Smith of San Jose was in the picture, too, because she joins the family at AT&T Park several times each year.
"We have a broker who offers (tickets) last minute," Smith said. "We scoop them up, because we're always ready to go."
Photo printouts cost fans anywhere from $20 for a simple print to $200 with a decorative frame complete with commemorative coins.
Paul Giuliacci, deputy director of the Giants Community Fund, said the Giants chose Tracy as a stop on the trophy tour because the city Parks and Community Services Department and the YMCA of San Joaquin County host the Junior Giants, a free eight-week, non-competitive summer league for boys and girls ages 4 to 13.
The program teaches children about the game and teaches adults how to coach baseball and build character in young people. The Giants Community Fund started the program in 1994 to reach communities that are underserved by youth sports leagues and opens it up to families of all income levels.
"The whole tour was based on where our Junior Giants league locations are, and we have a strong program here in the city," Giuliacci said.
He added that he hopes publicizing Junior Giants will encourage more adults to volunteer as coaches.
Tracy recreation coordinator Jolene Jauregui said the city had 500 kids and 50 volunteer coaches in the program last summer.
The city promoted the upcoming Junior Giants season — sign-ups are April 8 to May 13, with the season starting July 2 — alongside a Giants memorabilia truck, a food booth run by Tracy Breakfast Lions and other displays.
The city expected a crowd of more than 2,000 people and shut down East Street and Civic Center Plaza between 11th and Ninth streets. Only about 250 people were waiting when photos with the trophies began at 4 p.m., according to police estimates.
Fans continued to arrive until the display closed at 6 p.m. Jauregui said that by then, about 1,000 people had dropped by, including more than 800 who posed for photos with the trophies and many late arrivals unable to get in for photos.
For many in line, the San Francisco team is a family tradition.
Sonny Benavidez of Tracy was raised to be a Giants fan by his father and grandfather. His wife, Janice, has been a Giants fan since she was little.
On Wednesday, they took their children, Serena, 14, and Isaac, 12, to City Hall so they could give Serena a birthday present.
"It's awesome," Serena said. "The Giants are my favorite baseball team. I was raised with them. It's really cool knowing that we won the World Series."
Also lining up for a photo was the Tracy Babe Ruth 9-10 Giants team.
Assistant coach Jim Peterson of Tracy urged the players to put on their own uniforms for the day.
"We thought this would be a really cool picture for our team," he said. "The Giants and Giants — how cool is that?"

What an amazing event Seek the Peak was this year. It's taken me several days to process pictures and write this very long blog post and it was almost as emotional a journey as the event itself. The Kilted Clan was back in force this year as we paid our final respects and tribute to our great friend Brad who we lost this April. The last five years have been an amazing journey with the friends of the Mt Washington Observatory and the rest of the White Mountain hiking community. We have Brad to thank for bringing us all together and we will never forget him.
Here's the whole story: http://theramblingsblog.blogspot.com...-for-brad.html

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (July 3, 2011)—A return to the Hollywood Park turf course enabled Gallant Son to end a losing streak as the 5-year-old outfinished favored Streakin' Mohican to win the $81,898 Robert K. Kerlan Memorial Handicap Sunday.
Winning for the first time since he took the Grade III Inglewood Handicap April 25, 2010, the son of Malabar Gold and the Exploit mare Explicitly sat off the quick pace set by Streakin' Mohican and California Flag, moved outside entering the stretch to join the leaders, eventually prevailing by a head after a stretch long duel.
Completing the six furlongs in 1:08.81, Gallant Son earned his seventh victory in 25 starts for owners Chris and Diane Randall and Rossi LLC and trainer Frank Lucarelli. The dark bay has earned $380,662.
The 9-2 third choice in the field of eight, Gallant Son, who had lost eight in a row before the Kerlan, paid $11.20, $5.20 and $3.40.
One of two horses saddled by trainer Doug O'Neill, Streakin' Mohican, who had won an optional claimer over the Hollywood Park grass May 20, returned $4 and $2.80. He has not been worse than third in four races since being claimed by O'Neill for $40,000 Jan. 23. Quick Enough, the barn's other starter, finished fifth.
Trying to give trainer John Sadler a fourth Kerlan victory, Don Tito was third, 1 ¾ lengths behind the runner-up and a nose in front of Raetodandty. The show price on Don Tito, an 11-1 shot, was $5.
Dancing in Silks, the 2009 Breeders' Cup Sprint winner, and California Flag, who won the 2009 Breeders' Cup Turf Sprint, finished seventh and last, respectively.
"That was great,'' said Smith after his first stakes win of the Spring/Summer meet. "It all worked out. We got out of the one hole really well. That was the key.
"I knew I had a lot of horse, but he tends to wait when he gets to the last horse. It wasn't necessarily the one next to me (Streakin' Mohican) that I was worried about. It's getting caught because he waits. When someone gets momentum on him, he can't get it going again.''
Racing resumes Monday. Post time for the holiday program is 1 p.m.
Harmonious, who is 3-for-3 over the Hollywood Park turf course, is the 2-1 morning line favorite in the $150,000 Royal Heroine Mile. The biggest local win for the 4-year-old Dynaformer filly came in the Grade I American Oaks last July 3.
A Grade II on grass, the Royal Heroine also attracted Andina, Late Cuddle, Wild Mia, Givine and Celtic Princess.
Entries will be taken Wednesday for the $500,000 Hollywood Gold Cup, which will be run for the 72nd time Saturday.
Owned by breeder Jenny Craig's Family Trust, William S. Farish and Marty Wygod, Twirling Candy, the 122-pound highweight, is expected to face, among others, Santa Anita Handicap winner Game On Dude, First Dude, Setsuko, Aggie Engineer, the mare Miss Match and Kentucky shipper Dark Cove.
The Gold Cup will be televised on ESPN (4-5 p.m. PDT). Scheduled post time for the Gold Cup, which is the eighth of 10 races, is 4:40 p.m.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (June 24, 2010)-A Group 1 winner in both England and Australia, Scenic Blast will make his U.S. debut in the $60,000 Robert K. Kerlan Memorial Handicap on Sunday at Hollywood Park.
Owned by Aussie Raider and trained by John Shirreffs, the 6-year-old gelded son of Scenic out of the Delgado mare Daughter's Charm will have six opponents in the ungraded race at six furlongs on turf. The Kerlan is the seventh of nine races on Sunday with post time at 1 p.m.
A winner of eight of 21 with earnings of $1,396,843, Scenic Blast hasn't run since finishing last of 14 in the Hong Kong Sprint at Sha Tin last Dec. 13.
Bred in Australia by Durham Lodge Thoroughbred Stud, Scenic Blast's last win came a little over one year ago. He captured the King's Stand Stakes, a Group 1, at Ascot on June 16, 2009.
His other two Group 1 victories came in his homeland. On March 7 of last year, Scenic Blast won the Newmarket Handicap at the Kerlan distance by a head. Some five weeks earlier, he won the five furlong Lightning Stakes by one length.
Among those facing Scenic Blast, who will carry top weight of 123 pounds and be ridden by Mike Smith, is the filly Unzip Me.
A 4-year-old daughter of City Zip and the Arazi mare Escape With Me, she has won five consecutive races – all on turf – for Per Antonsen and breeders John Harris and Don Valpredo and trainer Marty Jones.
The California bred will be trying to become the second female to win the Kerlan. Cool Air, who was trained by Jones' father Gary, won in 1994 when the race was called the Hollywood Park Budweiser Breeders' Cup.
Three of Unzip Me's wins during her streak have come in stakes. She won the Irish O'Brien, which is restricted to state breds, on March 20, followed by the Las Cienegas, a Grade III, on April 11 and the Great Lady M. on May 21.
The 1 ¼ length victory in the Great Lady M. was her second in three races on the Hollywood Park turf. She's won seven of 12 and earned $327,430.
John Sadler, whose three wins in the race tops all trainers, will be represented by Noble Court. Sadler won the inaugural running with Olympic Prospect in 1988, then tallied with Frost Free (1990) and Get Funky (2008).
Owned by Joy Ride Racing, Noble Court, a 6-year-old Doneraile Court horse and the Grindstone mare Grey Dawn Grey, has been idle since finishing fifth in the Impressive Luck Handicap on Jan. 2 at Santa Anita.
A winner of six of 16 with earnings of $439,088, Noble Court will be looking for his second win in five tries on turf. He was second in the Captain Squire, beaten a neck by Zoning In, in his lone try on the Hollywood Park grass on June 29, 2007.
My Summer Slew will be looking for his second win of the meet at the Kerlan distance on Sunday. Owned by breeder Nick Cafarchia and trained by Craig Dollase, My Summer Slew has won four of 12 and banked $148,502.
The 5-year-old Siberian Summer gelding and the Slewpy mare My Bouquet won an optional claimer on May 2 in his debut on the local turf.
Trained by Victor Garcia for owner Miguel Rubio, Cayambe will be seeking his third consecutive win on grass since being claimed by his current connections.
Taken for $25,000 last July 31 at Del Mar, the 6-year-old Helmsman gelding out of the Restless Con mare Pacaya was away for nearly eight months before returning in a $25,000 claimer on April 18 at Santa Anita.
Cayambe won by a half-length at 30-1, then stepped up to win an optional claimer by 1 ¼ lengths at nearly 10-1 on May 27 at Hollywood Park. The Cal bred has won eight of 33 and earned $305,282.
Completing the field are Kelly Leak and Stoneside. Trained by Mike Machowsky for a partnership that includes Blahut Racing LLC and Dennis Avila, Kelly Leak has lost six in a row since capturing the Sunland Derby on March 29, 2009 at Sunland Park.
The 4-year-old Runaway Groom gelding out of the World Appeal mare Hasty Appeal has won three of 14, banking $739,310. He has a win and two seconds in five races on turf.
Stonside, a 6-year-old Marchand de Sable gelding and the Green Desert mare Greenstone has won five of 28 and earned $413,276.
Trained by Julio Canani for owner Marsha Naify, Stoneside was second behind Cost Of Freedom in an optional claimer on Cushion Track in his last start on May 6.
From the inside out, the field for the 22nd Robert K. Kerlan Memorial Handicap: My Summer Slew, Alonso Quinonez rides, 117 pounds; Cayambe, Martin Garcia, 114; Stoneside, Martin Pedroza, 117; Noble Court, Joel Rosario, 119; Kelly Leak, Rafael Bejarano, 116; Scenic Blast, Mike Smith, 123 and Unzip Me, Joe Talamo, 116.

General Fuels Company among the top 100 companies started by young entrepreneur'
October 11, 2012
Ali Saad reached into his pocket and quickly looked at his phone. Sorry, he said. I have to take this.
Its the common plight of a small business owner: always another call to take, always another task to manage. Its a plight Saad has taken on since he was 18 years old.
Thats when he started General Fuels Company, an international oil, gas and construction equipment dealer.
Now, just four years later, the company has been named to the Empact100 list, which recognizes the top 100 companies started by young entrepreneurs. Saad accepted the award in Washington, D.C., last month at a ceremony held at the White House.
It was with great honor that I accepted the award on behalf of our company, our friends and family, our community and the state of Michigan, he said. It was an excellent experience where I was able to show some of the largest CEOs, executives, entrepreneurs and officials where I came from and what we, as a community, are capable of achieving.
The Empact100 list is comprised of the top 100 companies in the Empact Showcase, a compilation of the United States leading entrepreneurs age 30 and younger whose annual revenues are more than $100,000.
Members of the 2012 Empact Academyincluding the founders of Living Social, Chuck E. Cheese, Priceline.com, Redbox and Open Table finalized the list based on revenue, number of employees, social impact, growth and innovativeness.
Returning to Dearborn after two days of awards festivities, Saad got back to his routine of being a full-time accounting student and full-time general manager, balancing his studies with balancing the books.
It is hard work, he said, noting that he often swings by the office after a long day of classes. It takes time and patience and a lot of planning.
Its been that way since the beginning, as Saad worked to carve out a niche for General Fuels Company.
An early restructuring and merger led the company to focus on oil and gas equipment. That division now concentrates on commercial and residential propane gas projects in United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The company recently added a construction equipment division, which is one of the leading exporters from North America to the Middle East.
Learning from the market has been key to our success, he said. Every idea has a shortcoming. But most people dont know what that is until theyve jumped into the market.
Learning in the classroom has aided Saad as well. Often hell find lectures to be directly applicable to his work. Class discussions turn into consulting sessions.
I hope its helpful to other studentsbut I try not to take up too much time, he said.
Its all part of the balancing act as he works to finalize his degree while strategizing how to partner with more small businesses both overseas and in the Dearborn area.
When asked how he manages to run his company while a full-time student, his reply is short and matter-of-fact: I sleep four hours a night.
Then, as if on cue, he reaches into his pocket. Yes, its another call to take.

The scholarship program has positively impacted the lives of local young women since it first began in 1958. Four of the last five state winners of Distinguished Young Women of Georgia have been from Bartow County. To show the community appreciation for its continuous support, the theme for this year's production is "This Is Our Town."
"Cartersville and Bartow County offers young people a variety of opportunities, good schools, great extracurricular activities, a family friendly environment and most of all the people in our community support each other," said Myra Hufstetler, chairman for the local scholarship program. "This is my fourth year as director of the local program and time after time the community has stepped up to support these girls. The community backs them financially for scholarships and through giving of their time and talents as well."
Participants in this year's DYW program include Gabrielle Brown, daughter of Drew and Darlene Brown, Woodland High School; Laura Cottongim, daughter of David and Michelle Cottongim, Cartersville High School; Cathryn Farmer, daughter of Tom and Cindy Farmer, Excel Christian Academy; Bethany Harmon, daughter of Dallas and Becky Harmon, Cass High School; Sarah Hyde, daughter of Richard and Lisbeth Hyde, Woodland High School; Ansley-Regan Latner, daughter of Clay and Kimberly Young, Cartersville High School; Caroline Moore, daughter of Jim and Terri Moore, Excel Christian Academy; Holly Nunn, daughter of Tim and Angela Nunn, Woodland High School and Brooke Rucker, daughter of Donald and Tanya Rucker, Woodland High School.
"Each year the girls in the program participate in at least one giving back event," Hufstetler said. "The girls visit the Boys and Girls club to share the National Outreach Program [motto] 'Be Your Best Self.' Some of the girls also helped with the Every Child's a Star fundraiser for Advocates for Children. One of the girls was a participant and others took up tickets and ushered for the program."
The National Outreach Program, "Be Your Best Self," encourages DYW to reach out and inspire others not only in the community, but nationwide, to make a commitment to be the best they can personally be.
"There are five elements to the 'Be Your Best Self' program and they are to be healthy, physically fit and drug free; be ambitious, set and achieve goals; be involved, serve your community; be responsible, live by moral and ethical principles and be studious, stay in school," Hufstetler said.
Throughout the competition the girls will strive to be their best selves, while showcasing their skills and assets. They will be competing in five sererate categories including: scholastics (20 percent), interview (25 percent), fitness (15 percent), talent (25 percent) and self-expression (15 percent). Prior to the event, the scholastic and interview portions will have already been completed. Scholastics is based on a variety of things including GPA, standardized test scores and rigor of study. The scores are being judged by a variety of Georgia colleges.
To keep with the theme "This Is Our Town," last year's Distinguished Young Woman of Bartow County, Avian Brown, will be playing her violin to the opening song, "Who Says You Can't Go Home" by Bon Jovi and Sugarland.
Brown has continued her winning streak, becoming the Distinguished Young Woman of Georgia, and will represent Bartow County and the state of Georgia this summer at nationals.
"Distinguished Young Women has been completely life changing to me because it has taught me to really work hard for something," said Brown. "Being able to win local last year, doing something that I normally wouldn't do was really cool for me, and then to be able to work really hard throughout the summer on different things like interviewing and fitness and talent and all the categories that we participate in and then being able to go and amazingly, somehow, win state, that was just a really cool experience for me. I know the skills that I learned are things that I'm going to take with me for a very long time."
Brown is a senior at North Cobb Cristian Academy and will attend Auburn University in the fall. She says DYW has played a huge roll in her decision and when she learned Auburn offers a scholarship for any statewide DYW, her decision was made. She will receive a four-year, renewable scholarship of $5,000 per year totalling $20,000 by the time she graduates. Another $8,000 in scholarship money she won between both the local and state competitions will go toward her education.
"Staying in state would definitely be a lot cheaper but having Distinguished Young Women, the finances for that, that's been an incredible blessing that I am so thankful for," Brown said.
She has been attending rehearsals and providing support to this year's competitors. She hopes to follow in the steps of Mary Clayton Gilbert, class of 2012 DYW program, who helped during rehearsals when she was competing at the local level.
"[To this year's competitors] I would just say have fun with it and just do your best. The whole platform of Distinguished Young Women is be your best self and if you feel like you are being your best self then that is all you can do and whoever wins is going to have a great time and all the other girls are definitely going to get a lot out of it anyways too. I'm just really excited for them to be participating," said Brown.
Hufstetler says that while everyone does not win a title, the goal is to get each participant out of their comfort zone and for them to realize that no matter what happens she has become better because of it. Some girls come into the competition lacking confidence, some have dreamed of performing on stage for others, but whatever the reason the hope is that they all achieve their goal and know they were their best self.
"The Distinguished Young Women program celebrates young women," said Hufstetler. "It celebrates the accomplishments they have already achieved and builds relationships with other young women and leaders in our community."
Tickets for the program are $13 and can be purchased at The Grand Theatre ticket office located at 7 N. Wall St. in Cartersville, Monday through Friday from 8 to 11 a.m. and 12:30 to 5 p.m. or by calling 770-386-7343.
