CRANBURY, N.J. and UXBRIDGE, England, Nov. 8, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Infragistics, the design and user experience (UX) software company and a world leader in user interface (UI) development tools and business productivity apps, today debuts NucliOS, a suite of native iOS UI controls to build state-of-the-art applications for iPad and iPhone.
NucliOS provides Apple developers with an alternative to today's open source offerings. As more organizations implement Bring Your Own Device programs, enterprises need applications designed and built natively for iPhones and iPads. Created with performance and style in mind, NucliOS delivers the core controls and powerful control architecture to create meaningful mobile apps.
"Infragistics brings its 20-plus years of UI control design experience to Apple iOS developers," said Dean Guida, CEO of Infragistics. "NucliOS, the first commercial class and enterprise-supported UI toolkit for iOS development, was built specifically for Apple developers using familiar APIs and following Apple best practices. These controls are easy to implement, fast, powerful and perfect for consumer and enterprise mobile application development with truly native iOS experiences."
In this release, Infragistics introduces its powerful Data Chart control to render iOS charts with hundreds of thousands of data points capable of millisecond updates. Heavy-duty data visualizations and analysis on large volumes of data can be completed with the more than 20 chart types included. Using the Motion Framework within the Data Chart control, end users can track data changes over time through highly-engaging visualizations and fluid animations.
In addition to the Data Chart, NucliOS includes Infragistics leading Data Grid. Implemented as either a data-focused grid or a versatile layout tool, developers can create compelling user experiences on the iPhone and iPad. With screen real estate at a premium, the NucliOS Grid can be used as a single column list when other important elements need to be shown. Using Infragistics Data Source Helper, developers use protocols to quickly bind arrays to the grid. Once populated with data, end users can easily manipulate the data and chose a flexible layout option to present the data exactly as it is needed.
"We look forward to developing a strong and loyal following of Apple developers," added Guida. "Today's NucliOS release continues our tradition of UI design excellence and opens the door to further innovation on the iOS platform."
Please see the NucliOS product page for a complete list of new features.
Pricing and Availability
NucliOS is $995 USD (MSRP) with priority support, $495 USD (MSRP) with standard support and $295 USD (MSRP) with Community support (available exclusively through the Infragistics forums). Subscriptions include all controls, services updates, upgrades and new product releases for one year.
NucliOS is also bundled with NetAdvantage Ultimate and MobileAdvantage. Customers who subscribe to these UI suites will automatically receive NucliOS. Please visit the Infragistics store at http://store.infragistics.com/ for suite pricing.
Quantity pricing and corporate licensing is also available. Infragistics can be reached at 800-231-8588 or [email protected].

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic • Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural style...

Problems with the power washer can put off those "need to do" jobs around the house. While you wait for the expert, I located some links that may help. I attached the online owner's manual. I see it has troubleshooting on pages 14-15. If after hearing from the expert, you decide to take the unit in for service, I attached the link to Sears Home Services. I hope these links provide a bit of the help needed.

The first lady says people like to portray her as an "angry Black woman."
The Obamas has been the talk of many towns since before it hit bookstore shelves. In an interview on CBS This Morning, the subject of most of that talk — Michelle Obama — had her say. The first lady told co-host Gayle King that the friction between her and former White House chief of staff Rahm Emmanuel and former press secretary Robert Gibbs depicted in the book is untrue and that she has little interaction with the West Wing of the White House. She also said that since her husband announced his first presidential bid, people have sought to portray her as the stereotypical "angry Black woman."
"I guess it's more interesting to imagine this conflicted situation here and a strong woman…but that's been an image that people have tried to paint of me since...the day Barack announced [his run for the presidency], that I'm some angry Black woman," she said.
Obama said that she hasn't read the book, which was written by New York Times reporter Jodi Kantor, and questioned, "what third person can tell me how I feel, or anybody for that matter."
"You know, I just try to be me. And my hope is that over time people get to know me. And they get to judge me for me," she said.
The first lady also talked about life in the White House, which she said has been both a privilege and a challenge.
"I love this job. It has been a privilege from day one," she said. "Now there are challenges, with being a mother, and trying to keep your kids sane, and I worry a lot about that. I mean, if there is any anxiety that I feel it's because I want to be sure that my girls come out of this on the other end whole. But me, Barack, we're grown-ups, you know; all the ups and downs, you know, we take it on."
Obama said she doesn't talk with her husband's staff and that she doesn't attend meetings, but that's not to say she doesn't have any influence.
"I do care deeply about my husband. I am his biggest ally. I am one of his biggest confidantes," she said. "But he has dozens of really smart people around him. That's not to say that we don't have discussions and conversations. That's not to say that my husband doesn't know how I feel."

When choosing the best nail art, the wearer and her nail technician must consider the art options from the perspectives of practicality, proper color coordination and whether the art reflects who the wearer is. The condition of the art items and safety of the wearer also is critical.
The most important factor to consider when choosing the best nail art is whether or not the nail art is functional. Even though fashion impact is a major goal of using nail art at all, there is little point to wearing it if the art quickly deteriorates or gets in the way. For instance, nail piercing is very dramatic, but the rings might catch on clothing or hair. The best options are those that easily can be embedded or coated for long-lasting protection. Keep the most impractical art for only very special occasions or shows, understanding that repair or touch ups can get expensive.
After eliminating non-functional options, the next step is to look at the wearer's personality. Match the art to how the wearer normally acts or things in which she believes so that she is comfortable with the art until it is time to remove it. For instance, if the wearer is an environmental advocate, a cosmetologist might create an intricate forest scene using swirls of brown and green. In the same way, someone who is naturally shy might not want as bold a design, while an outgoing person might choose ones that border on outrageous.
The best nail art works not only with the wearer's personality, but also the wearer's skin and hair colors. This is necessary because the wrong colors can make the wearer look sickly or clash in a way that is distracting. Cosmetologists and color professionals often base color choices on whether someone has a "warm" or "cold" tone, which sometimes is described using seasonal terminology such as spring, summer, autumn and winter. The art also should work with different colors in the wearer's wardrobe, because it will last one to two weeks and therefore must coordinate with multiple outfits. Holiday colors also sometimes come into play, such as choosing shades of pink and red for Valentine's Day art or red and green for Christmas.
On the technical side, the best nail art includes polishes, gels, varnishes and waxes that are of the proper consistency. These products should go on smoothly, distributing evenly over the nail without being overly thick or runny. Top-of-the-line products do not include toxic ingredients commonly found in nail care items such as formaldehyde. Instead, they include mostly natural ingredients that help nourish the nail, such as Vitamin E or aloe vera. The wearer also should have options for how to remove the nail art in a gentle, natural way that doesn't damage the cuticle or nail bed.
One of our editors will review your suggestion and make changes if warranted. Note that depending on the number of suggestions we receive, this can take anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Thank you for helping to improve wiseGEEK!

brand challenges
Posted by Dale Buss on July 29, 2014 03:50 PM
Darden Restaurants is waving a white flag in front of activist investors such as Starboard Value, but it doesn't appear to be big enough. The investment groups that are down on Darden still want to dismember it.
Darden CEO Clarence Otis said yesterday that he will step down at the end of the year, and the company invited opposing investors to fill as many as three of the company's 12 board seats by saying it will nominate only nine directors at the next annual meeting. Previously, Darden jettisoned its Red Lobster chain, a deal that was finalized earlier this week, and has accelerated its ongoing overhaul of Olive Garden restaurants.
Nope, still not enough. "Significant change is required in the Darden boardroom," said James A. Mitarotonda, CEO of another activist group, Barington Capital. Starboard called Darden's moves "a token change."Continue reading...

brand strategy
Posted by Dale Buss on May 16, 2014 02:46 PM
Darden Restaurants finally has sold Red Lobster, for $2.1 billion, to a private-equity firm. But nobody seems happy with when or how it happened, or the result, and the brand's future under the ownership of Golden Gate Capital remains far from a sure thing.
The problems that led to Darden's decision to unload Red Lobster—while keeping for now its other restaurant brands including Olive Garden—began with a deterioration in the brand over a period of several years tied in large part to a tendency to over-discount.
"We think we've gotten out of balance in terms of having a few too many discounts," Darden CEO Clarence Otis told investors in a recent conference call. "An important part of the Red Lobster brand is, for a lot of guests, it is a special-occasion experience and we want to make sure that we continue to deliver on that and we aren't pushing those guests out with too much of a focus on the discounting side."
Same-store sales for Red Lobster had declined in seven of the past eight quarters, only part of which could be attributed to the overall tough environment for fast-casual restaurants as they struggle with a sluggish economy and more upscale incursions by quick-serve chains. And, noted Bloomberg, "The brand … had limited growth potential because many of its customers are elderly and don't go out to socialize often."Continue reading...

Darden Restaurants executives have launched a new logo and menu changes at Olive Garden that, they proclaimed, will lead to a "brand renaissance" for the chain as they're rolled out.
But activist investors Barington Capital Group says: Don't bother. They believe Darden should be selling Olive Garden as well as the Red Lobster chain that both they and the company agree should be separated. It feels that Darden should fully focus on its specialty unit that includes rising chains Capital Grille, LongHorn Steakhouse and Yard House to help overcome financial doldrums for the company that have continued for several years.
Darden CEO Clarence Otis made the case to investors this week that he and his executive team can revive a slumping Olive Garden chain at the same time that they bid adieu to Red Lobster, whose customer base has become increasingly promotion-oriented. Olive Garden will get fresh attention instead of the boot.Continue reading...

chew on this
Posted by Dale Buss on December 19, 2013 01:45 PM
The restaurant business remains tough, and so it didn't take long for Darden to say "uncle" to an activist investor who believed that the best path for the owner of Olive Garden and Red Lobster chains was to spin them off into a separate company while clustering its faster-growing startup concepts in another.
Darden met Barington Capital Group halfway on Thursday by declaring that it will jettison Red Lobster and take other steps. It'll hold a tax-free spinoff of the seafood brand to shareholders or it might sell Red Lobster in a move aimed at boosting lagging shareholder value and profitability.
"As consumer demand dynamics have changed, Red Lobster's priorities and operating support requirements have come to differ meaningfully from those of Darden's other brands," the company said.Continue reading...

Considering clothes can't add height, you'll need to wear pieces that will give the illusion of longer legs, etc. Try mixing and matching a couple of these pieces.
I apologize for the amount of links, but I wanted you to get an idea of what you should be investing in (ie: high waist everything, cropped blouses and jackets, etc.). The trick is to make sure all of your clothes are fitted and tailored to your body. Oversized clothes will only drown you. For anybody that wants their legs to automatically appear longer, nude shoes work best.

Record and playback high definition TV signals
I plugged a firewire (the old one that came with the iPod from back in the day) into the cable box and then into both my iMac and MacBook (both with Intels) and opened the AVC Browser. It seems to recognize the box (a time warner cable SA 8300HDC from New York City), and when I go to look at the viewer, it properly opens VLC and gives me a UDP address, and occasionally, when I reset the box or turn it on and then off, it shows me a very very choppy picture for one second, but then it stalls and I am left looking at a static choppy picture. Is something the matter? I have tried this both with cable channels and regular network, both HD and SD. I also know that the computer is able to change channels on the cable box, so something is going on, but no picture. Can I get my computer to at least show the picture? Recording would be awesome too!

Tim Sherwood was delighted after Spurs win over Sunderland and denied that speculation about his future would have any adverse effect on his focus through the final weeks of the season.
On the day that news broke that Sherwood would be stepping down as the Tottenham manager come the summer, later denied by the club, he looked much more relaxed as he sat on the touchline watching Spurs convincing 5 – 1 win against Sunderland. Even when a defensive mistake gifted the visitors an early lead there was none of the histrionics displayed by Sherwood in previous games.Speaking to @SpursOfficial after the game, the manager said,
I'm delighted for the players and for the fans, it's been a great night for us. We dominated from start to finish, moved the ball around well and should have scored more goals. We had 29 attempts at goal!
Speaking to BBC Sport, he added,
…..it was the most dominant football match you're ever going to see.
On the BBC website, he spoke of the team's controlled, passing football,
After giving them a goal – we're making a habit of this and we have to stop it – I thought we controlled the game from start to finish. We stayed patient with the football, moved it around, made the pitch very big and got our offensive players on the ball in the correct areas of the field.
Sherwood had words of praise for Harry Kane who started his first Premier League game and scored the second goal, later adding an assist for Adebayor's second. Sherwood told @SpursOfficial,
I thought Harry Kane was fantastic. He ran his heart out, stretched Sunderland and created space for Aaron and Christian.
When quizzed about his position at Tottenham, Sherwood denied that anything had changed or that it would make any difference to his approach in the coming weeks. He told BBC Sport,
I'm going to focus on getting the best out of the players in the final games. Nothing has changed. I have had the chat about next season, players I have identified and pre-season.
A good win for Spurs, next up it's West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.

Published on December 19, 2012
Aside from performing every day in the hospital, two Crozer-Keystones physicians are now taking their talents to the big stage. David Hadley, M.D. and Robert Guilday, M.D. will be performing in Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" at the Hedgerow Theatre in Rose Valley, Pa. There are approximately 30 performances running between December 6 and 24.
This will be the 20th year the Hedgerow has offered this performance. Each cast consists of professional actors, volunteer adults and children. Hadley and his children have been involved in many other shows at the Hedgerow for the past three years. This will be their first year on stage.
"They enticed me to join them in the production and it is a treat for me to be on stage with them," says Hadley, who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology at Crozer-Chester Medical Center. "We consider the performance to be our Christmas gift to the audience."
Guilday, who specializes in general surgery at Crozer-Chester Medical Center, has been involved with the Hedgerow Theatre for several years. He will be joined by his wife and two of his children in this year's performance. Hadley and Guilday will both be portraying the character of Bob Crachitt. However, Guilday will play several roles at the December 22 performance, including the ghost of Marley, Scrooge's former business partner.
The Hedgerow Theatre is located at 146 West Rose Valley Road in Wallingford, Pa. To buy tickets for "A Christmas Carol," or to view show dates and times, visit http://www.hedgerowtheatre.org/.

Happy Holidays TitanSized readers!
I may have only blogged for TitanSized and FanSided since May of this year, but in that time there are two observations worth sharing.
First, Site5 has been outstanding as our network's hosting company. It is nice to know that when you put something out there for others to read, that someone is watching out for your content. Keeping it up and keeping it safe is not something any blogger should ever take for granted.
Second, Adam and Zach Best (co-founders of FanSided) are incredible guys! Not only do they extend the freedom and internet real estate to share our opinions and thoughts, but they are actively trying to leverage their good fortune to benefit others.
So it is not a surprise at all that Site5 and FanSided are teaming up to have their first charity drive for the Boys and Girls Club of America. And here is how you can be a part!

I write slow jams in my sleep…literally. I was in a hotel in Mexico, and I dreamt that I was in a recording studio and Annie Lennox was working on a song. She and her engineer were standing there listening to it and decided they wanted to turn it into a duet. The engineer asked if I wanted to sing with her, and as soon as I accepted I woke up. I scrambled to write the song down before I forgot how it went. And there ya have it. "Annie Lennox," off my new EP.

The US Defense Department is planning to expand its cyber-security team in a bid to counter threats against government computer networks.
Under the plan, the US Cyber Command, will be expanded over the coming few years.
The move follows a warning from US defence secretary, Leon Panetta, who said the country could face a 'cyber-Pearl Harbor' and has drafted new rules which would enable military to move quickly to thwart such attacks.
Panetta warned that digital attacks from foreign soils could paralyse the country's financial networks and transportation system.
According to the Washington Post, the Cyber Command, which currently employs 900 members including both military and civilian, has secured an approval to increase it's number to 4,900 troops and civilians.
Reports suggest that the plan will create three types of forces under the Cyber Command. This includes 'national mission forces' to guard computer systems that involve electrical grids and other infrastructure; 'combat mission forces' which will have a moreproactive role in cyberwarfare, planning and executing cyber operations; and 'cyber protection forces' to protect internal systems of the Defense Department.

Ralph M. Kovel, renowned antiques expert, died August 28 in Cleveland. He was 88.
Kovel and his wife, Terry, first came on the antiques scene in 1953 with the publication of their "Dictionary of Marks—Pottery & Porcelain." The book was innovative in that it indexed pottery by factory markings rather than by country of origin.
Their column, "Kovels: Antiques and Collecting," was nationally syndicated in 1954 and still appears today in more than 150 newspapers. The Kovels also produced TV series on public television, the Discovery Channel and HGTV.
Jim Kamnikar, president and CEO of GoAntiques.com, called Kovel an "icon." "Consumers, collectors and dealers all benefited from his wealth of knowledge," he said.
"Ralph Kovel was a pioneer in antiques price guides," Will Seippel, founder and CEO of WorthPoint, said. "He was an innovative thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit."
Those two characteristics were evidenced in Kovel's endeavors outside of antiques. In the 1970s, he bought a small food company named Sar-A-Lee then sold it in 1989 to the Sara Lee Corp, for which he served as senior vice president until 2000. He was also president of a direct-marketing company and a shrimp farm in the Bahamas.
Born in Milwaukee, Kovel's family moved to Cleveland Heights, Ohio, in the 1930s. He was a graduate of Cleveland Heights High School and attended Ohio State University.
The husband-and-wife team co-authored 97 books, the last, "Kovels' Antiques and Collectibles Price Guide 2009," came out this month.

An excellent international resource for the laboratory equipment industry.
Spinach Offsets Meat Carcinogen DamageResearchers at Oregon State Univ. have for the first time traced the actions of a known carcinogen in cooked meat to its complex biological effects on microRNA and cancer stem cells.The findings are part of a growing awareness of the role of epigenetics in cancer, or the ways in which gene expression and cell behavior can be changed even though DNA sequence information is unaltered. The scientists also found that consumption of spinach can partially offset the damaging effects of the carcinogen. In tests with laboratory animals, it cut the incidence of colon tumors almost in half, from 58 percent to 32 percent.Read more: http://www.laboratoryequipment.com/news-Spinach-Can-Help-Offset-Carcinogen-062212.aspx

I had my first lip injections done with juvederm xc. It literally lasted 3 weeks which was probably only the swelling that was giving me volume. I went to a friends clinic and had gotten half a syringe of teosyal. It's lasted me and the volume is still visible unlike the juvederm. I am in my 20's and I think that different fillers may be better for some ages or people than others.

Just like their human counterparts, pets need a fitness regimen to keep them on the path to good health. The key in any pet fitness regimen is you. As the owner, it is up to you to set the routine, find the motivation and get out there and exercise with your pet.
How do you find the motivation?
The secret is to build your pet's exercise routine into each week, just as you would an appointment to the vet, picking the kids up from school or going to work each day. If you schedule it like any other appointment, you're less likely to skip it.
What is optimal?
Most experts feel that a 30-minute routine four times a week is sufficient for a dog of normal health, although daily is even better if you have that much time to give. If you suspect that your pet has any physical limitations, you should consult your vet before beginning any exercise routine.
What Works?
You have several options. You can either break your routine into two 15-minute sessions, or if you and your pet are up to it, you can do the full 30 minutes all at once. Exercise options that work:
- Play a vigorous game of fetch.
- Go for a long walk
- Go for a jog.
- Play a wild game of chase.
- If you have a water-loving breed, such as a Retriever, go swimming.
Any game you and your pet can play that will get her heart pumping will do the job.
Find out about the importance of diet and the benefits of exercise.
Diet is a factor
Of course your pet's diet will factor into your exercise routine. A hardworking dog may need more nutrients, or if you are striving for weight loss for your pet along with your exercise routine, your dog may need a lower-calorie pet food. Either way you should check with your vet to find the diet that is right for your pet and her activity level.
What are the benefits?
The benefits you will experience for a regular exercise routine are endless:
- Pets who have had their bodies and their minds stimulated by regular play tend to act out problem behaviors less frequently.
- Your dog will be gaining social skills by interacting with you regularly.
- The bond between you and your dog will be strengthened, creating an even happier home life for you both.
- You will get exercise right alongside your pet.
- Your dog's health will be improved so that she can live a longer and healthier life.

Two-Start SPs: Week 18
Star-studded week has several cameo options
Published: Aug 01, 2013
» Get updates via Sportsmail
Below is a breakdown of next week's projected two-start pitchers divided into four groups: useable SPs with a pair of decent matchups; guys you can use for one of their two projected starts (favorable starts bolded); bottom feeders to avoid; and must-start aces. An asterisk indicates a pitcher's two-start status is in question.
Check back over the weekend as this post is updated, and continue to check out our Probable Starters Grid for the latest on every pitching matchup.
DOUBLE PLAYS: Henderson Alvarez (@PIT, @ATL); Tyler Chatwood (@NYM, vs. PIT); Ryan Dempster (@HOU, @KC); R.A. Dickey (@SEA, vs. OAK); Jeremy Hellickson (@ARI, @LAD); Joe Kelly (vs. LAD, vs. CHC); Corey Kluber (vs. DET, vs. LAA); John Lackey (@HOU, @KC); Justin Masterson (vs. DET, vs. LAA); Wily Peralta (@SF, @SEA); Jose Quintana (vs. NYY, vs. MIN).
Analysis: Cleveland's Corey Kluber is a tough call this week since one of his starts is against the Tigers, but it's at home, which helps (Detroit's OPS is noticeably lower on the road). Also, Kluber is coming off a stellar July (3.00/1.05, 37 Ks in 39 innings), and his strikeout upside makes him worth the risk. ... Since the start of June, Jeremy Hellickson has a 3.52/1.23 line, so we're giving him the benefit of the doubt in two relatively tough matchups. ... Despite Wednesday's shellacking, Tyler Chatwood has actually been quite consistent this year, allowing two runs or fewer in 12 of 15 starts. We like him to bounce back with his matchups next week. … Henderson Alvarez has a poor 17:10 K-to-BB ratio in 38 innings this year, but he also has a 2.61/1.18 line. We think he can continue getting outs next week with two relatively favorable matchups. ... Jose Quintana has been solid all season, but he was especially good in July (2.79/1.16). The Yankees hit worse against lefties and on the road, and the Twins have been a much worse hitting team on the road. ... Even though he's struggled at home this year, we're giving R.A. Dickey the benefit of the doubt against the A's because he shut them in his last start.
ONE AND DONE: Matt Cain (vs. MIL, vs. BAL); Chad Gaudin (vs. MIL, vs. BAL); Jeremy Guthrie (vs. MIN, vs. BOS); Edwin Jackson (@PHI, @STL); Kyle Kendrick (vs. CHC, @WAS); Jeff Locke (vs. MIA, @COL); Wade Miley* (vs. TB, vs. NYM); Andy Pettitte (@CWS, vs. DET), Dan Strailey (@CIN, @TOR).
Analysis: San Francisco's Matt Cain has traditionally been better at home over his career, but that hasn't been the case this season (5.26/1.28). The Orioles are the top home run team in the majors, so pitching a fly-ball pitcher like Cain against them is a major risk, even in San Francisco. ... Edwin Jackson was fantastic in July (1.83/0.87), but he's been much more inconsistent this year than guys like Hellickson. Given the Cardinals' impressive splits at home and against righties, he's a risk, but he offers the most upside of any pitcher in this category. ... It might seem strange to see a guy with a 2.36 ERA in this group, but it's tough to recommend Jeff Locke in Colorado. He has a solid ground-ball rate (53.3), which figures to help his cause in Coors, but with a 4.15 BB-rate and 6.73 K-rate, the upside just isn't there. ... You could make a case for Kyle Kendrick to be in the "Double Play" category, but Washington hits better at home and against righties. With Kendrick's relative lack of Ks, he's also not worth the risk.
NO THANKS: Kevin Correia (@KC, @CWS); Jenrry Mejia (vs. COL, @ARI); Brett Oberholtzer* (vs. BOS, vs. TEX); Martin Perez (@LAA, @HOU); Jerome Williams (vs. TEX, @CLE).
Analysis: Minnesota pitcher Kevin Correia has a favorable pair of matchups, but he hasn't pitched well lately and doesn't have a K/9 ratio above 5.00. There's no reason to use him in mixed leagues. ... Martin Perez looks tempting against Houston, but the Astros hit a little better against lefties and Perez doesn't strike out enough batters to really take advantage of Houston's free-swinging ways.
MUST STARTS: Zack Greinke (@STL, vs. TB); Hisashi Iwakuma (vs. TOR, vs. MIL); Clayton Kershaw (@STL, vs. TB); Mike Minor (at WAS, vs. MIA); Anibal Sanchez (@CLE, @NYY); James Shields (vs. MIN, vs. BOS); Stephen Strasburg (vs. ATL, vs. PHI); Justin Verlander (@CLE, @NYY); Adam Wainwright (vs. LAD, vs. CHC).

HPP: What was the first Pontiac you raced?
JH: I started racing a Firebird in 1993 and competed in the Firehawk series for IMSA from 1992 to 1998. Joe Aquilante, owner of Phoenix Performance in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania, prepared the car. Joe owned a Pontiac dealership for about 10 years and sold it [in] 2000.
HPP: Why did you go with Firebird and not Camaro?
JH: Chevrolet was no longer interested in racing in the Firehawk series. [The brand] had been competing and winning with showroom stock cars since 1984. They were very competitive and difficult to beat. When Chevrolet decided to stop supporting their (Phoenix Performance) cars, Pontiac stepped in to take its place in 1993. Pontiac was interested in supporting the Phoenix Performance team because they were willing to race the company product. In exchange, Pontiac provided them with engineering and some parts support.
HPP: Was this Firebird equipped with the 1LE package, and did you have anything to do with its development?
JH: Yes, I did have something to do with that. In 1988 I was the Corvette and Camaro product engineering manager. My responsibilities included working on the architecture for the 1993 Camaro, and I worked closely with the engineers to make sure a 1LE option would be available for that platform. And since both cars were very similar, the 1LE was applied to Firebirds and Camaros.
HPP: When was the 1LE option introduced and what did it include?
JH: The 1LE was introduced to the Firebird and Camaro in 1987. It included stiffer antiroll bars, different transmission ratios, bigger brake calipers from the C4 Corvette, brake rotors from the Caprice police car, an aluminum prop shaft, rear suspension bushings, and a fuel system upgrade. The fuel pump was redesigned to enure all of the fuel would be delivered to the engine in racing conditions. The engine remained showroom stock with no modifications; to order a 1LE you had to delete air conditioning.
HPP: Was this the same package that became available for the 1993 Firebird?
JH: For the most part, but it also included adjustable Koni shocks. The Corvette brakes were no longer part of the package as the Firebird/Camaro brakes were just as capable.
HPP: Were there any differences between the two generations when it came to handling?
JH: The newer generation was better because it had SLA (short/long arm) front suspension. Previous to 1993, those cars had a strut front suspension. The SLA improves the suspension kinematics, which provided better control of the movement of the tire and wheel through the suspension travel.
HPP: Were there any differences in the aero packages between both cars?
JH: The standard Firebird had a lower drag coefficient than the Camaro. The Formula was lighter and had a better aero package than the Trans Am, which made it the racers' choice.
HPP: What changes did you make to the stock Firebird to make it competitive?
JH: There really wasn't much allowed. You were required to run the stock 1LE equipment; in addition, you could add different brake pads, aftermarket wheels, and the series-specified racing tire. We had to add a complete rollcage, and the late Marv Palmer built our engines. Marv was an expert at extracting maximum horsepower and reliability from small-block GM engines. A lot of the original interior remained, including the passenger and back seats.
The original LT1 produced 275 hp in 1993. In 1995, we were allowed to add a hot cam that bumped the power into the mid-300s. In 1997, we were able to change over to LS1 engines, which were lighter and more powerful. I won the championship in one of these Firebirds in 1996 and 1997.
Next month for Part 2, John discusses his activities with GM from 1998 until he retired in 2008. This includes being named chief engineer for the F-body group, the stories of his Firebird racing experiences, and his extensive development of the Pontiac Solstice and G8.
