Using neutron-computed tomography, researchers at the CG-1D neutron imaging instrument at Oak Ridge National Laboratory's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) have successfully mapped the three-dimensional spatial distribution of lithium products in electrochemically discharged lithium-air cathodes.
Lithium-air chemistry promises very high-energy density that, if successful, would revolutionize the world of electric vehicles by extending their range to 500 miles or more. The high-energy density comes from oxygen, the cathodic component, and the lithium-metal anode, which has close to an order of magnitude higher specific capacity than commonly used carbon anodes.
However, to become a workable technology, fundamental scientific issues need to be resolved. One major issue is deposition of various lithium decomposition products during the oxygen reduction reaction on the surface of the air-electrode. These products primarily originate from reduction of the electrolyte and solvent molecules during the discharge. The buildup of discharge products over time drastically reduces the surface electronic conductivity and affects the subsequent recharge.
Recent studies have found that the discharge reaction is strongly affected by electrolyte and solvent composition and is driven by complex reaction kinetics. Understanding the complex electrochemical and chemical decomposition of the electrolyte−solvent system and the resulting charge transfer kinetics at various current densities is therefore critical.
Neutron imaging research at HFIR revealed that there is a nonuniform distribution of the lithium products across the electrode thickness when they are discharged; the lithium concentration is higher near the edges of the lithium-air electrode and more uniform in the center. The origin of such anomalous behavior is the competition between the transport of lithium and oxygen and the accompanying electrochemical kinetics.
Quantitative understanding of these effects is a critical step toward rechargeability of lithium-air electrochemical systems. Improved spatial resolution of the neutron imaging technique combined with isotopic substitution methods will further enable scientists to understand spatial distribution of discharge product in the lithium-air cathodes.

There's been some discussion about Watchmen in the movie thread, but the graphic novel certainly deserves discussion of its own, and now is as good a time as any. In fact, the movie demands discussion of the graphic novel, simply because it's one of the most faithful adaptations of any source material of any kind, ever -- in fact, a case could be made that it is the single most faithful adaptation of any source material, since only comic-book art could exert such a profound influence on both the visual and the verbal aspects of a film.
So much is this the case that, as I work on my Watchmen review, I find that I have chosen to begin with six paragraphs all about the graphic novel, which I am posting here in the hope of getting discussion going.
In my review of Miller's ill-advised recent cinematic take on Will Eisner's The Spirit, I wrote that The Spirit had been the Citizen Kane of comic-book art, and The Dark Knight Returns had been the Godfather. Watchmen does not suggest a similar cinematic analogy, but reading it one might be at turns reminded of Dr. Strangelove, Bonnie and Clyde, Dirty Harry, One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest and Taxi Driver.
It is a work of remarkable density and sophistication, a deconstruction of the superhero genre rather than, like The Dark Knight, a reinvention and a deepening of it. Subversive, cynical and nihilistic, Watchmen paints a universe in which Heath Ledger's Joker from The Dark Knight would feel right at home -- in fact, he might just find that there was nothing for him to do here.
In this world, the amoral Comedian, who regards life as a meaningless joke, is one of the so-called heroes. The psychotic Rorschach schizophrenically sees the world in morally black and white terms while simultaneously regarding morality as a projection of human meaning onto meaningless patterns. Dr. Manhattan, the only figure in the story with obvious super-powers, is so detached from humanity by his godlike status and quantum perspective that he has a hard time seeing a meaningful difference between life and death. Then there's an Olympian figure who sets out to save the world by an act more monstrous than the Joker's wildest machinations.
On one level, Moore sought to craft a narrative exploring what masked vigilanteism might look like in the real world, with flawed and marginal characters rather than the altruistic do-gooders of traditional comic-book mythology. On another level, although he made some effort to imbue his characters with varying outlooks, Moore's anarchic, atheistic worldview clearly informs the narrative as a whole.
The story could be called a critique of super-hero hubris, of those who in setting out to help mankind set themselves above the rest of humanity. The title is an allusion to the Roman poet Juvenal's pointed query, "Who watches the watchmen?" (Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?) The climax threatens to rip the rug from under traditional heroism altogether -- until a final twist rips the rug from under the climax, and the story seems to end as it began, with a meaningless, deadly joke.

1/4 cup
butter, melted
1 (10 ounce) package
frozen raspberries
2 tablespoons
white sugar
2 teaspoons
1/2 cup
2 cups
white chocolate chips
1/2 cup

I made 2 cakes. The 1st one wasn't very appealing but it tasted great. The 2nd one looked beautiful and tasted even better. What did I do different the 2nd time? I read the cheesecake techniques article found on this website. I wrapped foil around the bottom of my pan & placed the pan on a cookie sheet. Then I filled the cookie sheet w/water. I baked the cheesecake for an hour then turned the oven off & let the cheesecake sit in the oven for another hour. This prevents the cake from sinking in the middle. Everyone loved it! It was delicious and I can't wait to make it again.
Don't know where I went wrong, since everyone else is raving about this. I baked mine for 60 minutes. I cooled, then chilled it for 24 hours. When cut, the center was very mushy. It's like the raspberry sauce had soaked into it. On top it looked beautiful (see picture) so I was very surprised that it didn't hold its texture well. I served it at a guild function, and there wasn't one "swoon" which these ladies do for great, decadent desserts. Not one request for the recipe, which is always the usual course of things (as a chef, I hate being asked to give out recipes. It's like asking a doctor to give out free prescriptions. But with this recipe, I didn't have to worry - no requests.) It tasted fine, though nothing spectacular. The white chocolate cannot even be tasted, especially disappointing since I used expensive, imported Belgian white chocolate. I shouldn't have bothered. I've made many other cheesecakes, including just straight ones with no specialty flavorings, that were much better. I'm a chef, and have worked extensively as a caterer and pastry chef, so no rookie here. As cheesecakes go, this was merely OK. Not bad, but certainly not exceptional. I know that flies in the face of all the other glowing reviews, but I'm being completely honest. At best, I'd describe this as aggressively mediocre.

This recipe got rave reviews from my family on Christmas! One tip, which made this even easier to make: I used seedless raspberry jam instead of cooking the raspberries on the stove. I just microwaved 6 tablespoons of jam for 30 seconds before adding to the cheesecake. It was so much easier and tasted fantastic! I also microwaved the white chocolate with half-and-half with excellent results. I will definitely make this again! Everyone was so impressed!
This is SOOOOOOOOOOO delicious -- I've made it three times now, and it is already legendary within my extended family! :-) Just a couple of recommendations: definitely double the amount of cookie crumbs used for the crust; one cup barely covers the bottom of the springform pan. If you're using smashed up Oreos for your chocolate cookie crumbs (which is what I do), then you don't need anywhere near as much butter or sugar in the crust; the Oreo creamy filling provides lots of sweetness and stick-it-together-ness. I use 2 cups crushed Oreos, only one tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 cup melted butter -- the crust comes out perfect that way. Also, I'm not sure if I just have delinquently leaky springform pans or what, but the first time I made this, I ended up with melted butter dripping down from the bottom of the pan all over the bottom of my oven (quite a mess). Now I put a jelly roll pan on the oven shelf below to catch the dripping butter, and all is well. :-) I have ended up with a few cracks in the top of the cheesecake each time I have made this, but once I pile on tons of white chocolate shavings/curls, no one is the wiser! This cheesecake absolutely could NOT taste better -- people go CRAZY over it.
Loved it. I'm making this for the THIRD time tonight! Everyone who tried the last one said it was better than my mom's cheesecake... and that's saying a ton!
A couple things though.. make sure you check it 15 minutes early. If it looks done in the over it will be OVER DONE on your plate! Tap the side of the pan with a spoon and if it jiggles as "one piece" rather than like jello, it's done. if it doesn't jiggle at all it's over done.
And, If you're using a springform pan, you can put prachment paper on the bottom and it will just slide off the pan easly when it's time to cut it.
And as for cutting perfect, clean pieces - run a clean, long, thin knife under hot water. Quickly dry it off with a towell and slice straight down and out. Repeat for EVERY SLICE! Yes, it will take a while - but you'll have beautiful, perfect slices. ^_^
I used 2 cups of Oreo crumbs (I put them in my food processor, cream and all) , 1 Tablespoon sugar and 1/4 cup butter for the crust in a 10 in springform pan. I also used seedless raspberry preserves and that significantly decreased the time I spent making this cheesecake. Heating the preserves up slightly in the microwave (10-15 secs) makes it very easy to drop in the batter. I was very easy and it came out very pretty and delicious.
I have made this cheesecake twice now. The first time i made it, I too, had a lot of trouble getting the raspberry seeds out which made the "raspberry swirl" almost non-existent, however, it tasted wonderful. The SECOND time I made it, I made just a few changes. I made it in a 10" springform pan, and used 4 cups of white chocolate chips to give it extra white chocolate flavor. I also doubled the water to make the raspberry sauce and added 3.5 tablespoons of sugar, which made it drain out and taste wonderfully! I will always make it like that now, and encourage everyone to try this recipe no matter how they make it, or what alterations they make!
I made this for my sister-in-law's birthday and it was heavenly! It has a creamy texture with undertones of white chocolate and raspberry. My sister-in-law said it tasted "professional." I doubled the crust using 2 cups of Oreo cookies, 1/4 cup of butter and 1 T. of sugar. Double the raspberry sauce. It's easier to puree the raspberries with the sugar, press the ingredients through a fine-mesh stainer and then cook it. I added 6 T. of raspberry sauce to the cake without it overpowering the taste. The white chocolate and half-and-half can be safely microwaved on HI for 1 minute, stirred throroughly, microwaved and stirred thoroughly. 2-1/2 to 3 minutes should do it. To prevent any leakage, I use a 9" x 3" cake pan. Spray the bottom with Pam, add parchmant paper to the bottom and spray the parchmant. Cook the cheesecake in a water bath for the designated time. Remove from the water bath, carefully loosen the sides of the cake with an offset cake knife, then immediately refrigerate - uncovered - until morning. Never a crack. To remove the cake from the pan, heat water to almost boiling and gently dip the pan in (about 1") for 10 seconds. Turn the pan over on a large flat plate, tap the bottom and lift the pan away from the cake. Invert cake onto serving plate. If cake stays in pan, repeat the process. The cheesecake will not fall. I always do this with excellent results.

The ACLU believes that sexual orientation and gender identity should not affect a person's legal ability to be a parent. We are fully supported in this belief by reputable child welfare experts and social scientists who study LGBT parenting. We therefore advocate for LGBT people to have equal opportunities to build the kinds of families that they feel are most meaningful to them.
The ACLU believes that LGBT people, like everyone else, should have the freedom to build the kinds of personal, intimate relationships most meaningful to them without risking that their families will be disregarded or harmed by the state.

For over 80 years, the ACLU has included LGBT people in its vision of civil rights and civil liberties for all. We still have much more work to do to achieve lasting legal and social change. That's why we're fighting in the legislatures, courts, and streets for nondiscrimination laws that specifically protect LGBT people.
The ACLU champions transgender people's right to be themselves. We're fighting against discrimination in employment, housing, and public places (including restrooms) by seeking to add clear transgender protections to the law and bringing cases under the laws that already exist.
As part of our work to combat the relentless expansion of the criminal justice system, the ACLU works to ensure that LGBT people and people living with HIV/AIDS who have contact with law enforcement are treated fairly and are not singled out for violence or discrimination.

Overview Of The Federal UST Program
What is an UST?
An underground storage tank system (UST) is a tank and any underground piping connected to the tank that has at least 10 percent of its combined volume underground. The federal UST regulations apply only to UST systems storing either petroleum or certain hazardous substances.
When the UST program began, there were approximately 2.1 million regulated UST systems in the U.S. Today there are far fewer since many substandard UST systems have been closed. For the most current statistics available, see the UST Performance Measures. Nearly all USTs at these sites contain petroleum. These sites include marketers who sell gasoline to the public (such as service stations and convenience stores) and nonmarketers who use tanks solely for their own needs (such as fleet service operators and local governments). EPA estimates that less than 10,000 tanks hold hazardous substances covered by the UST regulations.
Why be concerned about USTs?
Until the mid-1980s, most USTs were made of bare steel, which is likely to corrode over time and allow UST contents to leak into the environment. Faulty installation or inadequate operating and maintenance procedures also can cause USTs to release their contents into the environment.
The greatest potential hazard from a leaking UST is that the petroleum or other hazardous substance can seep into the soil and contaminate groundwater, the source of drinking water for nearly half of all Americans. A leaking UST can present other health and environmental risks, including the potential for fire and explosion.
How have Congress and EPA responded to concerns about USTs?
In 1984, Congress responded to the increasing threat to groundwater posed by leaking USTs by adding Subtitle I to the Solid Waste Disposal Act. Subtitle I required EPA to develop a comprehensive regulatory program for USTs storing petroleum or certain hazardous substances.
Congress directed EPA to publish regulations that would require owners and operators of new tanks and tanks already in the ground to prevent, detect, and clean up releases. At the same time, Congress banned the installation of unprotected steel tanks and piping beginning in 1985.
In 1986, Congress amended Subtitle I and created the Leaking Underground Storage Tank Trust Fund, which is to be used for two purposes:
- To oversee cleanups by responsible parties.
- To pay for cleanups at sites where the owner or operator is unknown, unwilling, or unable to respond, or which require emergency action.
The 1986 amendments also established financial responsibility requirements. Congress directed EPA to publish regulations that would require UST owners and operators to demonstrate they are financially capable of cleaning up releases and compensating third parties for resulting damages.
The Energy Policy Act of 2005 amended Subtitle I. The UST provisions of the Energy Policy Act focus on preventing releases. It expands the use of the LUST Trust Fund and includes provisions regarding inspections, operator training, delivery prohibition, secondary containment and financial responsibility, and cleanup of releases that contain oxygenated fuel additives.
In the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) , Congress appropriated $200 million from the LUST Trust Fund to EPA for cleaning up leaks from USTs. EPA allocated $190.7 million to states and territories in assistance agreements to address shovel ready sites within their jurisdictions; $6.3 million for site assessment and cleanup activities in Indian country; and EPA retained $3 million by EPA for management and oversight.
Do all tanks have to meet federal EPA regulations?
The following USTs do not need to meet federal requirements for USTs:
- Farm and residential tanks of 1,100 gallons or less capacity holding motor fuel used for noncommercial purposes;
- Tanks storing heating oil used on the premises where it is stored;
- Tanks on or above the floor of underground areas, such as basements or tunnels;
- Septic tanks and systems for collecting storm water and wastewater;
- Flow-through process tanks;
- Tanks of 110 gallons or less capacity; and
- Emergency spill and overfill tanks.
Some state/local regulatory authorities, however, may include these tank types--be sure you check with these authorities.
What are the federal requirements for USTs?
In 1988, EPA issued UST regulations divided into three sections: technical requirements, financial responsibility requirements, and state program approval objectives (as described below).
Technical requirements for USTs
EPA's technical regulations for USTs are designed to reduce the chance of releases from USTs, detect leaks and spills when they do occur, and secure a prompt cleanup. UST owners and operators are responsible for reporting and cleaning up any releases. (See "Preventing Releases", "Detecting Releases", and "Cleaning Up Releases.") EPA produced a 36-page booklet called "Musts For USTs" that clearly presents the UST regulatory requirements.
Financial responsibility regulations for USTs
The financial responsibility regulations designed to ensure that, in the event of a leak or spill, an owner or operator will have the resources to pay for costs associated with cleaning up releases and compensating third parties. (See "Financial Responsibility.") EPA produced a 16-page booklet called "Dollars And Sense" that clearly presents these regulatory requirements.
State program approval objectives
EPA recognizes that, because of the large size and great diversity of the regulated community, state and local governments are in the best position to oversee USTs. Subtitle I allows state UST programs approved by EPA to operate in lieu of the federal program, and EPA's state program approval regulations set standards for state programs to meet. (See "State Program Approval (SPA)" for more information.) States may have more stringent regulations than the federal requirements. If you are interested in requirements for USTs, contact your state UST program for information on state requirements.

A Silly Protest To Protest Candidates
As left-wing operatives continue to make absurd claim after absurd claim, you have to wish the mainstream media around here would exercise a little discretion. I mean, not everything the crazy naked guy on the sidewalk shouts is news.
The latest example on non-news news? The story about challenges to protest candidates in upcoming Democratic recall primaries.
Wisconsin Statute 8.21 defines the "declaration of candidacy" that people seeking elective office in Wisconsin need to file. Essentially, a candidate needs to declare that they are seeking the particular office, where they live, that they are eligible to serve if elected and that they are not disqualified from seeking the position due to criminal convictions. That's it.
In partisan elections, candidates get to choose which political party they will affiliate themselves with for purposes of the election.
In order to assure that all recall elections occur on the same day, Republicans in Wisconsin have arranged for "protest" , "placeholder", "fake" (choose your term) candidates to appear on the Democratic Primary ballots for the four State Senate recall elections. From the GOP perspective, this is necessary to assure that a general State Senate recall election doesn't occur on a date when the only major statewide race is the Democratic Primary for Governor. This tactic is necessitated by Wisconsin's bizarre recall election rules.
Some liberal groups claim that a Republican shouldn't be able to run in a Democratic Primary - even if they've received enough signatures to qualify for the ballot. Good luck with this argument.
Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke runs for office as a Democrat - even though many suspect him of being a Republican in his heart. Would these lefty groups argue that Clarke shouldn't get to choose which political banner he gets to run under? If that's the case, who decides? Does "One Wisconsin Now" think they should be the ones who choose who gets to run as a Democrat? I don't think so!
In Wisconsin, the key test for ballot access is the ability to get signatures on a nominating petition. If a candidate gets enough signatures, that candidate gets on the Primary ballot. The voters in the Primary then get to decide which candidate moves on. Period.
In other words, this is a silly protest to protest candidates. Nothing to see here.

What kind of 'practical stuff' can I make out of stainless that's actually used out in the industry. I have already thought of a food cart, for like restaurants and stuff, and a stainless barbecue, what other stuff can I make?

The Kamleika Jacket is featured to meet the requirements of a Mountain Marathon runner while also suiting everyday running, walking and biking. A slightly more relaxed approach to weight than on the Kamleika Smock has allowed for extra features such as the two huge hand pockets, adjustable hood, tab cuffs and two way YKK zip to allow venting. A lightweight but well-shaped peak completes the hood and we have included lots of reflectives as well to keep everyone safe.
The cut is athletic and the stretch of the fabric allows this jacket to be one fit for both men and women.

Fresh out of college, Ben Landers thought he had a job with Merrill Lynch in Chicago, where his girlfriend lived. Told the job actually would be in New York, he decided against moving east and found a position with a large bicycle store in Chicago.
There, he sold a bike to the head of sales for Hotjobs.com and soon became a senior account executive with the online job search business.
"You never know where one position or one sale will lead," said Landers, the 37-year-old CEO of Blue Corona, a fast-growing Gaithersburg business that provides online marketing, web design, marketing analytics and other services.
Blue Corona recently made Inc. magazine's annual list of the nation's fastest-growing private businesses for the second consecutive year.
Last year, the company was the fastest-growing in Montgomery County, fourth-fastest in Maryland and 174th nationally. This year, it was 15th in Montgomery and 694th nationally, with a three-year revenue growth rate of 660 percent, up to about $3 million for 2012.
To grow fast, a company has to quantify its marketing data to build an effective system in which executives know what is working and what is not, Landers said. "You need a marketing system where you can turn the dial up to create demand for your services," he said.
While vice president of sales and marketing for Gaithersburg bottled water company DrinkMore Water, Landers helped that company's founder, Bob Perini, develop a system to accurately track and quantify advertising and marketing campaigns. They eliminated almost $150,000 in ineffective Yellow Page ads per year. Landers converted DrinkMore's website from a "brochure" type of site to a "lead-generation machine" involving e-commerce.
"We took a technological and analytical approach to marketing," said Perini, who earned an MBA from Harvard and had led DrinkMore onto the Inc. magazine list in 2002 and 2003, shortly before Landers joined the business.
Perini founded DrinkMore in 1993, when bottled water was not as popular as it is today. "We were a little bit ahead of the curve," he said. "And with our data-driven approach to marketing, we were ahead of the curve there, too. Now you see almost every company taking a more data-oriented approach to advertising."
Landers considers Perini, who co-founded Blue Corona with him, one of his key mentors. Perini had high praise for Landers, as well. "He has a fantastic level of energy and enthusiasm. He loves the business side of business," Perini said. "He has entrepreneurial blood coursing through his veins and does whatever it takes to succeed."
Landers grew up in Montgomery County and graduated from Wootton High School in Rockville. He wanted a fresh environment for college and chose Ohio University, earning a bachelor's degree in communications and marketing.
After working for Hotjobs for two years, Landers joined WorldCom as a major account executive in the Chicago office in 2002, shortly after the former telecommunications giant filed for bankruptcy amid a financial scandal. While he considered his year there "great experience," working conditions were tense, to say the least.
"It was a competitive, serious environment. Everyone wore suits and ties," said Landers, who recalled sweating through the back of his suit before one nerve-wracking meeting. "No one seemed to even take off to eat lunch."
He soon became regional sales manager at Windy City Sports and Gen-A and moved to Bethesda to manage the advertising agency's mid-Atlantic region.
While marketing the business at an event, he met Perini and began a key relationship.
"He asked me where I saw myself in five years, and I said I wanted to either graduate from a top business school or run my own company," Landers said. "He asked if I was interested in earning a practical, on-the-job MBA and starting a business together."
Less than five years after joining DrinkMore, Landers and Perini co-founded Blue Corona, using the marketing analytics system and e-commerce for clients such as Coakley Realty and Payroll Network. The business set up in an office in the same building as DrinkMore and has grown to 36 employees, with a satellite office in Charlotte, N.C.
"This year, we are shooting for $5 million in revenue," Landers said.
Landers sometimes takes off from operating his company to speak to students at Georgetown University and blog on sites, which he considers an important marketing vehicle as well. Blue Corona is a member of local chambers of commerce, and he'd like to eventually get more involved in those business organizations.
Perini, still an investor and adviser of Blue Corona, said the 60-employee DrinkMore, which has an on-site manufacturing and bottling plant, continues to see good sales increases.
"Our partnership works well," Perini said of his relationship with Landers.

Pourover stands come in many shapes and sizes. The beautiful and simple "Clive Stand" from Clive Coffee is made from salvaged Oregon Black Walnut, and hand made in Portland. The Hario Acrylic Stand is similarly shaped, made of clear acrylic, allows for a transparent brewing experience, and is specifically designed to fit snugly onto a Hario Drip Scale.
Landing somewhere in the middle of the two is a brand-new prototype from the folks at Craighton Berman Studio. Boasting a glass, double-walled casing , and a solid wooden base, the MANUAL Coffeemaker is "designed to be left out on a counter for fast access, less set up, and aesthetic consideration."
This isn't just a stand with a hole in it, either—the conical design is such that it encourages a slower extraction time, akin to an immersion method such as a French Press. A bit more from the Craighton Berman site:
Similar to a pour-over stand used by coffee shops, brewing happens directly into the final drinking vessel. The glass construction allows full visibility of the process, while the "double-wall" design retains more heat which helps maintain ideal extraction temperatures. The wooden base is designed to provide a 'home' for the glass piece, as well as fit over a kitchen scale. The base insulates the mug from thermal loss and catches any errant drips during the process, over time developing a patina, like that of a cutting board.
Prototypes are currently being tested and a Kickstarter campaign (of course) is in the works. Stay tuned for more details on the Craighton-Berman Studio Website.

Friday, October 05, 2001Johnson City, Tenn. -- The East Tennessee State volleyball team defeated Davidson 3-0 (30-13, 30-20, 30-25) Friday night from Brooks Gym for their eight-straight win, matching the third-longest winning streak in school history. The first game opened close with both teams trading points. The Bucs would eventually open up a 10-6 lead, and would go on a 20-7 run to close the game. The second game was very similar to the first. The Bucs and Wildcats traded points early, but the Bucs would open up a small lead as the game drew on. ETSU would slowly build on to their lead until it reached 10, the final margin of victory in game two. Game three was even closer than the previous two, as there was no more than a five point lead for either team throughout the game. The Bucs held the advantage for most of the game, but Davidson trimmed the ETSU lead to one on many occasions. The Wildcats cut the ETSU lead to 23-22, but that was as close as the game would get. The Bucs would close the game and the match on a 7-3 run. Sophomore outside hitter Kate Steidle led the Bucs with 10 kills and a match-high 13 digs. Senior setter Carey Cavanaugh tallied a match-high 32 assists for the Buccaneers. Davidson was led by Meredith Lorenz who tallied a team-high eight kills and 10 digs. Setter Nicole Tonelli recorded 22 assists for the Wildcats. The Buccaneers return to action as they host UNC Greensboro Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. from Brooks Gym.

Coachella's Giant Origami Solar-Powered Crane Installation
You know what this year's Coachella music festival could really use- a giant origami crane at the entrance. Oh wait! They already have one, and it's lit up with LEDs and powered by a solar system. Built by LA-based Crimson Collective, the sculpture, called Ascension, was inspired by the Japanese tradition of folding a thousand crane in order to receive a wish. We spotted this LED awesomeness on The Architect's Newspaper and we couldn't be more excited about the idea. As thousands of fans enter the festival they will pass under its welcoming wings, and be part of the collective intention of the crane.
Ascension is a 45 foot tall living art installation made out of modular aluminum tubes and covered with a white mesh fabric called Textilene. The bird weighs 35,000 pounds with a wingspan of 150 feet. All of the parts for the bird fit inside one shipping container and was transported to the festival in Indio, CA in the Palm Springs desert. At night the bird is lit up with multi-colored LED lights and is powered by two photovoltaic systems that sit nearby and double as a canopy and benches.
Crimson Collective, led by Behn Samareh, is a group of artists, architects and designers working to use design for a positive social change as well as bridge the gap between art and architecture. Ascension is one of many art installations at the three day music festival and will be the first thing fans see when they enter. The giant creature is a living art installation, a beacon, shelter, destination, as well as a universal message of peace and a "symbol of hope and a prelude to ascension through understanding and awareness." If you're going to the festival and see the crane or any other sustainable design goodness, let us know!

Thanks for the sneak peak. The crane looks amazing. More details about the design of this piece will be posted soon at http://www.hopperengineering.com. Check for updates.
April 16, 2010 at 1:31 pm
Hopper Engineering (www.hopperengineering.com) did the engineering for the crane. It was a fun job (not everyday you design a 150′-0″ wingtip to wingtip bird)…
Ironically the most difficult part of the design was keeping it from flying away.

It's amazing how long it takes us to change our view of something once it's ingrained. Most people still think of New York City as dangerous, Starbucks coffee as bitter, Robin Williams as funny, and Broadway music as the exclusive domain of such songsmiths as Rodgers and Hammerstein and Andrew Lloyd Webber. That last one may change for good starting next week, when the musical American Idiot, based on Green Day's 2004 punk-pop album of the same name, opens at the St. James Theater.

Green Day's seventh studio album 'American Idiot' exploded on the scene in 2004 in a post 9/11 world filled with fear and media overload. Songs like 'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' and 'Wake Me Up When September Ends' spoke to a generation who were left feeling unsure about the war. Hoping to expand the story that was woven through 'American Idiot,' Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tré Cool then wrote their next album '21st Century Breakdown.' So what's the next step for a chart-topping band like Green Day?

Recipe by Speck
"For the health-conscious breakfast eater, this is a great substitute for fattier counterparts. You can use all-purpose flour in place of the wheat flour if desired. Other fruits can be substituted as well!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 cup
mashed bananas
1/2 cup
1/2 cup
vegetable oil
2 cups
wheat flour
1 teaspoon
baking soda
2 1/4 teaspoons
baking powder
1 cup
fresh or frozen blueberries
I made two slight changes but they were so miniscule that it's really not a huge deal. Instead of plain water, I soaked two Celestial Seasonings honey vanilla white tea chai bags in the half cup of water I heated for about five minutes and used that to add a little oomph. I also added two tbsp. of honey. Those were the two things I noticed that people said that these muffins needed, a little spice and perhaps a little honey. The smell of these while baking was amazing and they look super fluffy and just beautiful. Mine did need just a few more minutes to bake. Half of this recipe will be for my two kids and husband and the other half will be gifted to a friend tonight. I'll update my review once I found out how everyone liked them. EDITED: They were a hit. The kids inhaled them and couldn't really tell they were sans sugar. This will be my new blueberry muffin recipe. Thank you SO much for sharing.
These muffins for me... need a little something else. I used frozen banana and blueberries, so I don't know if that was the difference or not but I miss either sugar or a pinch of salt.
66 Ratings
I'll admit, I was a bit wary of making these because of all the reviews saying that their was no flavor. Based on my (small) changes, I rate it five stars. I think the flavor is great, I really don't miss the sugar at all, and the texture is really good too. I used apple sauce instead of the oil, subbed 1/4 cup of the flour for flaxseed meal, and added half a teaspoon of vanilla. I also halfed the recipe, so the measurements are based on that.
I was expecting no taste and was pleasantly surprised. For a no-sugar recipe, I think these came out amazing. The key to the flavor is ripe bananas and delicious fresh blueberries.
Curiosity! I just had to try this one out for curiosity's sake and let me tell you, whole wheat and no sugar was a bit of a culture shock for me. I made sure to use overripe bananas and ripe blueberries to give it some sweetness. They were really moist and better on the second day. However, I just couldn't overcome the blandness. I even added extra blueberries, cinnamon, and nutmeg and still nothing. Next time I will try with a little honey. This recipe will really make you stop and think about how dependent we are on sweeteners in one form or another.
My husband is a diabetic so I'm always looking for no sugar muffins. These are pretty darn good. I had some really juicy, sweet blueberries which I think really help. I did use a bit less soda, and baking powder. I also added about a teaspoon of my homemade pumpkin pie spice. Without this added spice it's probably boring. The batter was really thick so next time I think I'll give it just a small amount of liquid sweetener. I only got 12 regular size muffins & needed 2 more minutes in the oven. Next time I'll add some walnuts for even more nutrition. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
Remarkably good. I did add some (1/4 c) soy protein powder & fiber to bump it up for my weight loss program. Also didn't have any blueberries, but added the equiv. in cherries (20). Still a great combo and tasty.
Great recipe! Since there is no added sugar, you would think that the muffins wouldn't be very sweet. But, they are very tasty and healthy! My children wanted to eat 3 of them for breakfast! I frequently make banana bread and muffins...this recipe is much healthier and you don't miss the sugar!

Toulon play Olympique Marseille in half rugby-half football charity match
A crazy game took place in France earlier in the week as Toulon hosted football club Olympique Marseille for a half football-half rugby match in aid of charity. Eric Cantona was on hand to ref and play as things got a bit strange in the second half.
Stade Mayol played host to this charity game with a difference, as the first half was played as football with goal posts in place, and then for the second half things switched as rugby posts were erected. The game was in aid of a local cancer charity, and had 12 000 fans in attendance.
The match was meant to be 11 Toulon vs 11 Marseille in the first half, refereed by Cantona, and 15 Toulon vs 15 Marseille in the second half, refereed by Marc Lièvremont.
That was the plan, but with rolling subs to give everyone a chance to play, soon players weren't leaving the field after being subbed, and at one stage it was 15 vs 11. Staff also took to the field, and teams became mixed. Toulon players wore Marseille shirts, and vice versa.
We saw some great goalkeeping from Chris Masoe and Steffon Armitage in the first half, as well as two well taken goals from brother Delon, who looked a natural out there.
In the second half it was time for rugby as the Marseille players got into the spirit of things, despite numerous forward passes and tries scored from in front of the kicker. Still, everyone had fun, including Manchester United legend Cantona, who stepped up for a conversion.
The 47-year-old, who retired from football in 1997, reportedly said to hat-trick tryscorer André-Pierre Gignac that he was going to try to hit the cross bar. And he did.
You can see that in the second part of the video, which is on page two and features the rugby half.
The first half, with football, is below and includes some subtitles for some of the commentary, including a great moment when Masoe picked up the ball and ran with it, as the commentator said: "They say rugby was born this way."
Marseille edged the hosts 5-4 in the first half, taking a 36-35 overall victory on a memorable day.
The rugby half, where both sides were mixed and it was generally chaotic, but lots of fun for those that played and attended. Marseille physio Christophe Maouvrier scored the late equalising try.

3 tablespoons
olive oil
thick cut boneless pork chops
2 tablespoons
dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon
1/2 teaspoon
ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon
dry mustard
1 tablespoon
fresh lemon juice
1 (10 ounce) can
tomato sauce
1/4 cup
Ok, this was a fantastic recipe to start with. I only made a few minor changes:
1-I lightly breaded the chops before browning, as a matter of fact I did not egg wash them, I just coated with flour & then browned.
2-I chopped an onion & threw it into the pan to saute close to the end of the chops browning. And then put the onion into bake with the chops.
3-I used a small (14.5 oz) can of diced tomatoes instead of tomatoe sauce.
**NOTE when I tried this recipe I used about 1/2 inch thick bone-in chops & it only took about 30 min NOT 1 hour to bake so keep an eye out.
This dish was wonderful served with rice on the side, you can even spoon some of the liquid from the chops pan onto the rice.....Try this recipe, you & or your family will thank you for trying it !!
Ok maybe a 3.5. The pork chops were very chewy and tough. I think if I were to make this again, I would forget about precooking them altoghter. This might be something I would do in the crockpot instead. After 20 mins. in the oven (350)the internal temp. on my boneless chops was 170 degrees. I was very worried about the sauce, after adding the fresh lemon juice, it tasted like cocktail sauce. But in actuallity, the sauce was the best part of this recipe. Thank you for sharing!

I always cook pork chops on the stove, so rather than getting another dish dirty, I used the browning pan, put on a tight fitting lid, reduced the heat to low and cooked for 45min. A simple recipe made simpler!
Love it. LOVED it. But of course, I made a mistake. I mixed all of the ingredients together and added a tsp. of worcestershire sauce then just slathered it on the boneless chops. I then poured the tomato sauce over it (a larger can) and baked it for the recommended time. It was fantastic. My husband and I had the leftovers the next day over rice. We had both the dinner and leftovers with Brussels sprouts and it was phenomenal. Great recipe, thanks a million, this will go into the recipe box as a winner! ;-)
This was SOOOO good. When I first showed my husband the recipe, he said he wasn't so sure of it, but then again, neither was I. I was looking for something easy, and different. This was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO good. I thought it may have been too much liquid, because I used really thin pork chops, but I still followed the recipe to a tee, and it worked out perfectly. I didn't cook them in the oven for an hour, since they were thin chops, I kept an eye on them, and probably only needed to cook them for about 1/2 hour before they reached 160 degrees. The sauce reminded me of my grandmother's home made barbeque sauce. DELICIOUS!! Thanks!
Wonderful!! I use thick, lean pork chops and I don't care for mustard, so I leave it out. The chops are not dry at all. The sauce comes out slightly sweet from the brown sugar, but spicy enough because of the pepper. This goes absolutely wonderfully with the recipe for honey roasted red potatoes found on this site.
You're right, Laurie...my Mom's original recipe called for fresh chopped celery, but my kids never liked the texture. Celery seed is a great addition. Also, I forgot to mention that covering the dish tightly in foil helps keep the chops moist.
Very good chop recipe. Overall my family liked it alot. Meat was moist and had a good flavor. I played with the ingredients abit. Used only half of the brown sugar ( actually used a dark Molasses sugar ) added some worchestshire sauce to the tomato sauce, topping the chops with one sliced onion and afew minced garlic cloves to kick-up the flavor of the sauce some. Was very good served with mashed potatoes,green beans and fresh fruit. I will make this again.

The Calvert County Board of Education appointed Nancy Highsmith as the interim superintendent for the 2013-2014 school year Wednesday.
Highsmith was the principal at Patuxent High School for seven years and is now the first female leader in Calvert County Public Schools' history, according to Eugene Karol, board of education president.
The board will begin a national search to find a permanent superintendent to replace outgoing Superintendent Jack Smith, who announced his resignation last week and has since accepted a position with the Maryland State Department of Education. Highsmith said she intends to be a candidate for the permanent position.
"The Board of Education carefully considered a number of highly qualified candidates from within the county before deciding that Ms. Highsmith is best suited to lead our school system through the upcoming school year," Karol said in a press release. "We have complete confidence in her."
Though Smith was not involved in the hiring process, he expects the board made the best choice for the coming year. "It's a big job," Smith said. "I'm sure Ms. Highsmith will do well and be challenged by it. I wish her all the best," Smith said.
With this announcement, CCPS now has three principal positions to fill — at Patuxent, Northern and Calvert High Schools. Northern High's former principal Sylvia Lawson left to join Charles County Public Schools and Kevin Howard has been the interim principal at Calvert High. Highsmith said she is hoping to fill the principal position at Patuxent sometime next week.
This school year, teachers will be evaluated and observed under new guidelines based on student performance — a large component of the national educational reform movement known as Race to the Top, according to Karol. As a former principal, Highsmith is familiar with this new model and said she believes the system is "in a good place" and "can move forward comfortably."
"I'm looking forward to a very smooth transition from Dr. Smith," Highsmith said. "Dr. Smith has been a wonderful superintendent. I really admire his work, and I hope to continue that. He has provided great guidance for the past seven years as superintendent."
Highsmith has served the school system for 33 years, 19 of them as a teacher. She started in 1980 as a social studies teacher at Northern High and Northern Middle. She also served as a learning specialist, dean and vice principal, and was principal at Calvert Middle before moving to Patuxent High in 2005, according to the release.
Board member Tracy McGuire feels Highsmith's school-based experience will be a plus going into the school year, and said the board intends for her to help move the school system forward.
"I'm thrilled to be part of such a wonderful school system," Highsmith said. "Everyone works for the good of the system and for the good of the students."
Highsmith graduated from Frostburg State College in 1979 with a bachelor's degree in social science and secondary education. She earned a master's degree in administration and supervision in 1988 from Bowie State College, according to the release.
In addition to Highsmith's appointment, the school board also approved the relocation of three CCPS-owned portable classroom trailers from other school sites to Beach Elementary School to accommodate the school's overcrowding issue. The board voted to delay the redistricting of the school earlier this month to allow more time to come up with an effective plan. Local funds will be used for the $40,551 project that was not originally allocated in the fiscal 2014 budget. The board said it will determine a proper redirection of funds to accommodate this project at a later date.

From Ajax Patterns

There's an archived version of this pattern available, taken from the Ajax Pattern book draft, showing roughly how it appeared before the page became publicly editable.

Goal Story
Pam is booking a trip on the corporate travel planner. She sees a form with the usual fields, and clicks on location. Suddenly, a list of cities fades in beside the form, and Pam selects Paris. Beside the city list, a third list appears, this one showing approved hotels. Pam chooses the Hilton and both lists disappear. The location field now contains "Paris Hilton" as Pam had intended.
How can the user select an item in a hierarchical structure?
- Applications and websites are often arranged in hierarchies. To navigate, users need to choose a page from within the hierarchy.
- Hierarchy navigation should be fast.
To let the user locate an item within a hierarchy, provide a dynamic drilldown. The drilldown allows navigation through a hierarchy and ultimately an item being chosen. At each level, there are several types of element in the drilldown:
- Category A read-only name for the present level.
- Individual items which the user can choose to end the interaction.
- Sub-Categories which the user can choose to drill down to a deeper level.
- Upward Navigator which "drills up" one or more levels.
In some hierarchies, items and categories are mutually exclusive: items only exist at the edges - or leaves - of the hierarchy. Even when that's the case, items and categories should be distinguished for the sake of clarity. The upward navigator goes by different names, but a general guidelines is to tell the user which category they're going back to.
Typical applications include navigating through separate areas of the application, and filling out a field by navigating through a hierarchy of candidate items
As the user drills down the hierarchy, do you show each progressive level? There are three main options:
- Keep the drilldown in a fixed area. Each time the user clicks on a category, the drilldown morphs to show only that category. This has the benefit of preventing page rearrangement.
- Show all levels at once. Each time the user clicks on a category, expand out the drilldown region to add a new list for each category.
- As a variant on the second approach, all levels are shown,but the sub-menus are rendered in front of the rest of the document, so the menu is effectively modal: nothing else can be done from the time the menu is opened to the time the selection is made. This approach is similar to choosing an application from the Windows Start menu.
The first two options are modeless, the third is modal. Modeless interaction works well with Ajax, where it's possible to dynamically update, without page refresh, the menu as well as any surrounding content related to the user's selection. Specifically:
- Each navigation through the [Drilldown] can result in a server call, to fill the next level with the latest content, or even auto-generate new content.
- The display throughout the application can change to reflect the state of the drilldown, giving the user a "tour" through the hierarchy. As a user drills down from the top level to a deep category, the application is always synchronised with the current level. So the display reflects the medium-depth categories along the way. Because the interaction is modeless, the user is then free to stay on those categories.
- The user can iterate between drilling down and performing other tasks. Imagine the user is a humans resource clerk needs to use a drilldown to select an "employee of the month". She's already decided on the region, and drills down to show all the employees there. Now that she can see each candidate, she can go perform some research in another region of the page, or on another website. When she returns, the drilldown is still there, waiting to be completed.
Will you call on the server each time the user navigates through the Drilldown?
Sometimes, the entire hierarchy is loaded as a one-off event. Other times, categories can be pulled down as required using an XMLHttpRequest Call. The choice is governed by two things:
- How big is the hierarchy? The more items, and the more information per item, the less desirable it is to transfer and cache the data.
- Is the hierarchy subject to change? In this case, you'll need to retrieve fresh data from the server at the time a category is opened up. In a more extreme case, the server might even generate the hierarchy data on demand. For instance, an RSS feed aggregator might present a drilldown with categories such as "sport feeds", "politics feeds". The contents of these will be generated at the time the user drills down to a particular feed.
Real-World Examples
Betfair uses Drilldown to locate an event you wish to bet on. At the top level, the "All Markets" drilldown contains various categories in alphabetical order: from "American Football" to "Special Bets" to "Volleyball". Clicking on "Special Bets" yielded several countries, along with a "General" category, and you can continue to drill down to the list of bets. Clicking on one of those bets sets the main page content.
"All Markets" is one of two drilldowns. The other is "My Markets", a personalised drilldown available to registered users.
The Backbase Portal Demo contains several independent Portlets. Of interest here is the "Local Directory" portlet, which is actually a Drilldown, with toplevel categories such as "Education" and "Health" drilling down to relevant links.
Refactoring Illustration
The basic Portal Demo illustrates Multi-Stage Download, showing how different content blocks can be downloaded in parallel.One of those is a block of links to Ajax resources. To keep the block small, only a few links are present. But is there any way we could keep the link block physically small, while offering a large number of links? Of course there is ... a Drilldown will occupy roughly the same space, but with a little interaction, the user will be able to navigate through a large collection of links.
The refactored version includes a drilldown. A Category can contain any combination of Categories and Links. For instance: The top-level category, "All Categories", contains only Categories, the "Websites" category contains just links, and the "Overviews" category contains some overviews as well as a sub-category, "Podcast Overviews". Categories and links are rendered similarly, but not identically. Each category menu includes a link to the previous category level.
The basic interaction sequence works like this:
- User clicks on a category.
- A callback function detects the click, and issues an XMLHttpRequest query on the desired category.
- Server responds with the new category name, its parent (null in the case of the top-level category), and each category and link in the drilldown. All of this is in XML format.
- Browser replaces existing drilldown with a drilldown based on the new category information.
On page load, the drilldown is blank and the browser requests information for the top-level category. The server response triggers the creation of a new drilldown.
Browser-Side Implementation
The initial HTML just shows a blank div. The width is constrained because the drilldown's parent container has a fixed width.
On page load, the top-level category is requested.
retrieveCategory("All Categories");
Then begins the standard process of requesting a category with XMLHttpRequest, then rendering the menu accordingly. This not only occurs on page load, but every time the user clicks on a category within in the dropdown.
The server returns the category an XML file with category data. For example, you can see the data for the "Overviews" category at http://ajaxify.com/run/portal/drilldown/drilldown.phtml?categoryName=Overviews. The specification contains the name, the parent name, a list of items. Each item is either a category or a link. Note that only the information for this level of the drilldown is provided.
<category name="Overviews" parent="All Categories"> <items> <link> <url>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AJAX</url> <name>Wikipedia Article</name> </link> <link> <url>http://www.adaptivepath.com/publications/essays/archives/000385.php</url> <name>First Ajax</name> </link> <category name="Podcast Overviews" parent="Overviews" /> </items> </category>
The browser parses this XML to produce HTML for the drilldown. Links are shown as standard HTML anchor links, categories are Div elements. Event handlers ensure that when a category is clicked, including the "Back To (previous)" category, the browser will kick off another retrieve-and-render cycle.
function onDrilldownResponse(xml) { var category = xml.getElementsByTagName("category")[0]; var html=""; var categoryName = category.getAttribute("name"); html+="
" + categoryName + "
"; var parent = category.getAttribute("parent"); if (parent && parent.length > 0) { var parentName = category.getAttribute("parent"); html+="
Back to
'" + parent + "'
"; } var items = category.getElementsByTagName("items")[0].childNodes; for (i=0; i<items.length; i++) { var item = items[i]; if (item.nodeName=="link") { var name = item.getElementsByTagName("name")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; var url = item.getElementsByTagName("url")[0].firstChild.nodeValue; html+="
" + name + "
"; } else if (item.nodeName=="category") { var name = item.getAttribute("name"); html+="
"+name+"
"; } } $("drilldown").innerHTML = html; }
Server-Side Implementation
The server-side implementation relies on the Composite pattern (see Gamma et al., 1995). A Category consists of further Category objects, and also Link objects. We rely on Category and Link having two common operations:
- asXMLTag() renders the item as an XML tag. For categories, there is a special optional parameter that determines whether or not the tag will include all items.
- findItems($name) recursively finds an item - either a Category or a Link - having the specified name.
With these operations encapsulated in the Category and Link objects, the main script is quite small.
require_once("Link.php"); require_once("Category.php"); require_once("categoryData.php"); header("Content-type: text/xml"); $categoryName = $_GET['categoryName']; $category = $topCategory->findItem($categoryName); if ($category) { echo $category->asXMLTag(true); } else { echo "No category called '$categoryName'"; }
Further Refactoring: A Drilldown with Dynamic Content
In the refactoring above, the top-level category, and all of the data underneath it, are hard-coded in categoryData.php. In fact, the hierarchy data could easily be generated on demand, to create a drilldown with dynamic content.
TODO composite diagram Item -> Category, Link.
In a further refactoring, the Portal SyncLinks Demo does something like this. Every thirty seconds or so, a separate process parses the ajaxpatterns wiki links page, and saves the links as a hierarchy of Category and </tt>Link</tt> objects. The toplevel category is serialised to a file. In this new version, categoryData.php no longer hard-codes the categories, but unserialises the recently generated hierarchy.
Drilldown could easily be made truly dynamic, heading over to the links page every time category data is requested (an example of Cross-Domain Proxy). In fact, that's how it worked while the drilldown was developed, but performance constraints make it impractical. So a small change was made to periodically refresh the data instead.
Live Search
Drilldown lets the user locate an item by browsing through a hierarchy. Live Search instead lets locate an item by typing, and the data need not be hierarchical.
Related Patterns
There may be an opportunity to associate microcontent with categories in the drilldown. Each time the user clicks on a Drilldown, Microcontent may be produced. For example, a navigation style drilldown would let the user navigate through a hierarchy, and see page content update accordingly. In an Ajax application, the page content would be replaced without page reload, hence the drilldown items are a form of Microlink.
Browser-Side Cache
If each navigation event leads to a query of the server, consider retaining results in a Browser-Side Cache.
A drilldown is usually a form of Portlet. It has its own state and the user can usually conduct a conversation with the drilldown in isolation.
Visual Metaphor
Drilldown involves classic hierarchical structure - think of offices containing filing cabinets, filing cabinets containing folders, folders containing documents.

Dateline Barcelona, February 19: the Williams FW35 is unveiled in low-key fashion ahead of the first day of the second 2013 Formula One test session, to be staged at the Circuit de Catalunya. This is where, in 2012, Pastor Maldonado piloted the car's predecessor to victory in the Spanish Grand Prix – the first Williams success since the end of 2004.
Is FW35 the car to build on that success and return Sir Frank's team to the top?
Question: what was the designation of the first 'true' Williams, which appeared at the end of 1977?
That's Sir Frank himself speaking ahead of the launch. The Barcelona victory was balm on a wound that had simply got deeper and deeper in the seven and a half years since Juan Pablo Montoya won for Williams in Brazil in the final race of 2004.
The pain goes back even further, however: while Williams have won the coveted Constructors' Championship on nine occasions, all of them came in the 20th century, the last of them in 1997. To men like Williams and long-time partner Patrick Head, that is unbearable.
The Constructors' title is the one that matters most, Sir Frank says, because it is "the most accurate gauge of a team's performance relative to its rivals". Unsentimental as Enzo Ferrari also was, Williams looks past its champion drivers to its champion cars. Can FW35 be the next in that long line?
"It's a better, more refined Formula One car than the FW34," claims Technical Director Mike Coughlan, "and I think everyone involved in the project can feel proud of the work they've done."
While Coughlan insists FW35 is evolutionary rather than revolutionary, given the stability of the rules from 2012 to this year, it's hard not to see it as a new car when 80% of it is new in his own words. That includes its Williams gearbox and its rear suspension as well as radiators, floor, exhausts, nose and, of course, bodywork!
The gearbox itself has been put through its paces well before hitting the Barcelona track: it had already gone through 3200 kilometres' running on the Williams dyno, simulating five successive Grand Prix race weekends.
Coughlan sets great store by a relatively new F1 phenomenon called the Coanda effect, which you may have read a lot about in relation to Lotus in particular last year. Its name comes from the Romanian engineer who first alerted the world to it, whose name was Henri Coanda. In layman's terms Coanda allows exhaust gases – hotly debated, you might say, in recent years – to be channelled downwards on to significant surfaces of the car in pursuit of aerodynamic benefit. If you want a scientific description, try "the tendency of a gas or liquid emerging as a jet to be attracted to a nearby surface".
"The Coanda effect is going to be a big thing for us," says Coughlan. "We'll work closely with Renault to maximise the available gains."
Speaking of Renault, should we see it as more than coincidence that the first season in which Williams had won for eight years was also the first of their renewed partnership with Renault?
Back in the glory days, Renault succeeded Honda as engine-suppliers who powered Williams to title after title. For nine seasons from 1989 through 1997, they contested 146 races together. In that time they claimed 79 pole positions, 69 fastest laps and 63 Grand Prix victories – that's over 55% of Williams' all-time total of 114 victories.
In 2013 Williams will use the Renault RS27-2013 to power FW35, which Sir Frank calls "a car that must move us well up the grid".
In case you were wondering, the reason for our 'catch the bus' headline is something that underlines the difference about Williams.
It was established on a proper footing in 1977 as Williams Grand Prix Engineering and has remained true to that appellation ever since.
Williams exists to race – but, in a changing world, it has made remarkable strides in transferring race-winning technology to commercial applications.
Take a London bus, for example: not literally, of course, but if you did, chances are it would be a vehicle hybridised by Williams Advanced Engineering and using the technology that went into electro-mechanical flywheel energy storage.
That kind of innovation earned Williams the 'Business of the Year' award from the UK's Motorsport Industry Association in January, underlining the technical excellence at the heart of this unique F1 team.
For FW35 it was a steady start: Pastor Maldonado clocked the fifth-fastest time of the first day of the first Barcelona test. All the noises, though, were optimistic. It's a typically no-nonsense Williams to look at, but there will be conspicuous changes by the time it hits the track at Albert Park.
As Sir Frank says, "The next race is the only thing that matters in F1." A worldwide legion of Williams fans will be watching expectantly when that date in Australia rolls round.
Answer: No, it wasn't FW01 as you might expect – it was in fact FW06!
