GM Tired of Ford's EcoBoost V6 Bragging, Touts More Efficient V8 for Silverado

GM bests Ford's EcoBoost V6 fuel efficiency without complex, expensive turbochargers
Ford has spent a great deal of time and money developing and marketing its EcoBoost family. The company makes a wide variety of EcoBoost engines (which is basically a fancy name for turbocharging plus direct injection) ranging from a
1.0-liter three-cylinder
to a
3.5-liter V6
Ford's efforts have paid off, as sales of the naturally aspirated V6- and EcoBoost V6-equipped F-150s have
outpaced those of the V8 models
. And all along the way, Ford has thumbed its nose at the Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra, stating how its EcoBoost V6 gets V8 performance and V6 fuel economy.
GM, however, is hitting back today with the announcement that its new 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 engines manages to produce 355 horsepower and 383 lb-ft of torque. While the horsepower number compares favorably with the EcoBoost V6 in the F-150, it's down quite a bit in torque. GM says that in 4x2 trim, the EcoTec3 will be good for 23 mpg highway; checking off the 4x4 option box will result in 22 mpg on the highway.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado
Both of these numbers are 1 mpg better than the EcoBoost F-150. In fact, it matches the fuel economy of Ford's naturally aspirated, 3.7-liter V6.
"Silverado's available 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gives customers the best of both worlds," bragged Jeff Luke, executive chief engineer for the Silverado. "Customers get the proven power and dependability of a V-8 truck engine, with better fuel economy than a leading competitor's smaller turbocharged V-6."

GM's decision to go the "tried and true" route may pay off in the end. Recent reports have suggested that while many manufacturers seem to ace the EPA's tests with turbocharged gasoline engines,
most consumers aren't able to match the sticker numbers in the real world
The Ford Atlas Concept previews the nexxt generation F-150
GM's fun in the mpg sun, however, likely won't last long. Ford is reportedly
looking to trim up to 700 pounds
from the next generation F-150, which will go a long way towards improving fuel efficiency. Ford showcased the use of active aero technology on its
Atlas truck concept
(which no doubt is a precursor to the next generation F-150), which boost highway fuel efficiency by 2 mpg.

Montreat, N.C. – The Brevard College women's softball team wrapped up their 2008 season in style on Tuesday afternoon, as the Tornados swept the Lady Cavaliers of Montreat College. The Tornados stormed through the Lady Cavaliers in game one, winning 12-2. In game two BC held on for a 4-3 road win over Montreat.
Game 1: Brevard 12, Montreat 2 (6)
In the opening game of the double-header, the Tornados used 10 hits to plate 12 runs for the game, including a six-run fifth inning, to defeat the Lady Cavaliers 12-2 in six innings.
The Tornados got on the board first, pushing across two runs in the top of the first inning on a Jennifer Brown double to give BC the early 2-0 lead.
After adding a run in the top of the fourth by way of a bases load walk, the Tornados blew the game open in the top of the fifth as they plated six runs in the inning. Senior centerfielder Kristin Tettemer drove in two runs for the inning, while fellow classmate Amber Clontz drove in two more by way of a double in the gap. Sophomore Katie Brown and senior Lindsey Morgan would add back to back RBI doubles to help push the Tornados lead up to 9-0.
Montreat College got two runs back in the bottom half of the fifth inning, as designated hitter Mandi Pike had an RBI double and then later scored on a Mary Montgomery single.
However, the Tornados put the game away in the top of the sixth, as BC added three more runs highlighted by a Clontz double which drove in two runs on the play.
Sophomore starting hurler Jennifer Gift (6-18) shut down the Lady Cavaliers in the sixth to give BC the 12-2 win. Gift picked up the win as she gave up two runs on five hits while striking out seven hitters in six innings of work.
The loss went to Montreat's Haven Payne, as the starter gave up three runs, one earned, on four hits in four innings of action.
At the plate, BC was led by Clontz, who was 3-4 with two doubles, four RBIs and three runs scored. Fellow senior Morgan was 3-4 with two doubles and two RBIs, while Jennifer Brown was 1-3 with a double, two RBIs and a run scored.
Game 2: Brevard 4, Montreat 3
In their final game of the 2008 season, the Tornados used a three run seventh to pick up the 4-3 come back from behind victory over Montreat College.
Again BC jumped out to an early lead by scoring in their first at bat, as freshman Sarah Carlos drew a base-on-balls with the bases loaded to push lead-off hitter Beth Brooker across the plate from third and put the Tornados up 1-0.
However, Montreat College scored two runs in the bottom of the second by way of a Kerby Barkdoll double to give the Lady Cavaliers the 2-1 lead.
Montreat pushed their lead to 3-1 in the bottom of the sixth, as again Barkdoll had an RBI double.
Yet the Tornados would not blow away, as the BC scored three runs on two hits and three Montreat errors in the top of the seventh to take a 4-3 lead.
Again Gift shut down the Lady Cavaliers in their final at bat to give BC the 4-3 win. Gift (7-18) picked up her second win of the day, as the hurler came into the game in the second inning to allow one run on seven hits while striking out seven hitters over the final 5.2 innings of play.
The loss went to Montreat starter Lacy Robinson, as Robinson gave up four runs, all unearned, on eight hits while striking out nine in seven innings.
Short-stop Kristina Clayton led the Tornados at the plate, as she was 4-4 with an RBI and a stolen base. Brooker was 2-4 with two RBIs and two runs scored, while Katie Brown was 1-3 with a run scored.
The Tornados finished the season with a 13-27 record on the year, an 11 game improvement from a year ago.

2 days in Connemara
When we finally got our stretch of good weather I packed my camera equiptment and headed west. I had been planning a trip to Roundstone and the surrounding area for a few weeks.
I decided to go via Maam and took a detour up a small country road as I tend to do. I ended up having a conversation with an elderly local gent as we met on a narrow road and could'nt get our cars past each other. After a bit of manouvering he enquired who I was , where was I going and what was I at .
When I told him I was a photographer he proceeded tell me about the best local spots. He suggested I should drive to Glenlosh Valley a few miles up the road .
Glenlosh Valley is one of those hidden gems that you might never find without some local knowledge. The road into the valley is private so I was fortunate again to meet the owner and ask his permission.
The crystal clear waters of the Glenlosh River flow all the way down through the valley.

I am looking at doing some wep key cracking on my own system because I do small networking jobs and have a lot of people ask me about the wep crack difficulty and security. I am mostly just looking to broaden my horizon a little. I have read it is really not that difficult and I have watched people do it via youtube and I have scanned this forum and the other backtrack forums. I have the steps down pretty good but I am unable to get it to work correctly and I do beleive I know the problem but not sure...
When I run a aireplay -ng --test I get a "packet Injection is working" and it will give me a percent, i am usually getting around a 50%. I am using a IBM t61 lenovo ( I cant remeber but i think it is a 4965?) thinking maybe possibly a driver problem??
Should I be getting a 100% on the test.. I usually install Netgear routers but I have installed a couple Linksys's also..
Thanks for you help in advance I hope that this an informative and fun place to be.. My luck on the other backtrack forum was not so fun..

By The New Guy
Hello again PowderMag.com,
The New Guy here and let me tell you, things are going well in the Powder Magazine offices. We're hard at work on our annual Buyer's Guide, the average number of swirlies I'm receiving per week has dropped, and Powder Photo Editor Dave Reddick told me to, "knock myself out," with a point-and-shoot camera for an assignment. Things couldn't be better so let's get to it. Last week, we met Level 1's new kid from way up there in Alaska. This week, I'd like you to meet Teton Gravity Research's new guy from way down under, Byron Wells. While the guys from Jackson Hole aren't giving him swirlies, they are having him guinea pig 100-ft tables at Stevens Pass. If given the choice, I'd take the swirly. So once again, kick back, make sure the boss isn't looking, and get to know TGR's new kid, Byron Wells.
The New Guy
Name: Byron Wells
Age: 18
Hometown: Wanaka, NZ
Where you may have seen me before: Winter of Wells webisodes and the halfpipe.
How did you hook up with the guys at TGR?
I was talking with Greg Strokes from Oakley about starting to film and all that and because they sponsor TGR he hooked me up with Josh Neilson and the ball started to roll from there.
Tell us about your experience filming with TGR on the first shoot.
I didn't really know what to expect, as it was my first park shoot. It was sick skiing with Sammy [Carlson] and [John] Spriggs again and the TGR crew is so rad and easy to work with. Plus, Sammy and Spriggs gave me a Knife for guinea pigging the 100 footer.
What is your favorite segment of all-time?
Ohh, I would have to go with Pep [Fujas] in Session 1242. I could watch that over and over again.
Your older brother is Jossi Wells. As two professionally skiing brothers, is there competition between the two of you?
Oh you know it! Ha, it's friendly though. We both help each other as much as we can and have a bunch of fun too.
If you could produce your perfect segment, what's in that segment? What are you skiiing?
All over the show. AK, BC, Park, Pipe and everywhere in between.
Living in New Zealand, you kind of experience an endless winter. When do you catch a break?
Right now, actually. I'm on the Gold Coast in Australia but other than now (June) and a little of October and November, not much.
What's one major thing people don't know about skiing in New Zealand?
The Southern Alps are actually bigger then the European Alps.
What can people expect to see from you in Teton Gravity Research's Light The Wick this fall?
You can expect me to be popping out of your screen in 3D!!! Going to be some crazy shots.

An ALA Popular Paperback for Young Adults 2001
Something strange is happening in the parking lot at Time Zone High: the established cliques aren't in their usual gathering places. Instead, everyone has joined in one large, frantically interacting mass. Why? Maybe because the world may end tomorrow. For attractive, brilliant Legs Hanover this poses daunting questions: What are the romantic possibilities, given that she may have only twenty-four hours to live before a giant asteroid smashes into earth? Or is it just an Internet cyber-hoax?
Included only in Young Adult 10.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
What would you do if you were told you only had 24 hours before an asteroid obliterated the planet? The teens at Time Zone High are struggling with that very question (along with figuring out who's sleeping with whom and whether or not to attend physics class). Is the asteroid real? Is it a government cover-up or an Internet hoax? And by the way, what are the Laws of Virginity? Allegra "Legs" Hanover--usually prepared for anything--is thrown into a tailspin by this potential catastrophe. Only minimally less disorienting is the discovery that her "platonic boyfriend" Derman may have slept with her sexy friend Angie. But as Legs has always thought, "high school is potty training for life," so she tries to make important decisions in the face of disaster--such as whether or not she should make a play for rebellious surfer dude Andros Bliss, the strangely attractive "Totally Inappropriate Guy."
Todd Strasser, author of How I Changed My Life and Girl Gives Birth to Own Prom Date (both also set at Time Zone High), once again proves his mastery at funny, fast-paced, fascinating writing. Teens will love this wild ride, and will find themselves laughing in the face of the end of the world. (Ages 12 to 16) --Brangien DavisAbout the Author:

Akron man closer to execution for child murder
(Columbus) — The Ohio Parole Board has recommended against mercy for a condemned killer facing execution next month under the state's new, untested lethal injection process.
The board's unanimous decision Thursday moves death row inmate Ronald Phillips one step closer to being executed for the 1993 rape and killing of his girlfriend's 3-year-old daughter in Akron. The governor has the final say.
Ohio has until Nov. 1 to announce whether it's using a non-FDA-regulated dose of pentobarbital mixed by a specialty pharmacy for the Nov. 14 execution. The alternative is proceeding with intravenous doses of two other drugs.
The state's supply of regular pentobarbital expired last month after the manufacturer put it off-limits for executions.
Phillips' attorneys argue he was the victim of childhood rape. The state says Phillips long denied that.

Hi, I wanted to convert all the units of one of my projects to either percentages or pixels and I was wondering what the conversion between em and pixels are.
Here is my understanding that 1.0 em is the letter em at 16 pixels.So, am I correct in assuming that, 1.6 em is equal to 1.6 * 16 pixels, which is 25.6 pixels?
Also, isn't it impossible to use less than a whole pixel, so what would you recommend in the case that I want an element's heigh to be 25.6 pixels?
Thanks in Advance, Team 1504
1 em is defined as the text size of the browser. The fact that (most) browsers are by default set to 16 px does not mean that 1em=16px. It's not.em, like percentages are only defined relatively, not absolutely. That is the very reason percentages and ems are recommended over px in web design; if I have set my browser to a larger text size than the default, your website should also be a bit bigger than the default.Of course there are some situations where this is impractical, but as a general rule of thumb you should stay clear from px.At least that's my opinion.
Most modern screens don't have 16px equal to 1em. They have a wide range of different values depending on the screen. 16px was common at one point but even then it wasn't all that common.
The conversion is somewhat similar to asking how long is a piece of string. Or how to convert between oranges and apples.
think of ems as a variable. 1em= font size, in px, of the container element.
if you srat with a div, whose font size is set to 20px, inside that div there is a P whose font size is 50% ( or even .5em) THEN the value 1em for any tag INSIDE that P will be 10px.
20px(1em inside div) * 50%= 10px ( =1em inside div p)
So you have to follow the values of the text throught the cascade in order to know what 1m is equivalent if you like that 16px starting point you could set HTML{font-size:16px;} That creates a consistent starting point for all browsers, but it also means all your other tags change proportional to this, so you have to be careful.
BTW, there is no such thing as a half pixel. so if you calculations lead you to a measure like 12.6 px, it is best to allow for some wiggle room in the design as some browsers will round up some will round down and some will show behavior which will make you wonder if the programmers even bothered to get a GED before they applied for work at M$....
Ahh okay. Well then I guess I will keep the units at em then.
However, the one propagating force against not using em's was the invalidity in the W3C validator.
Is there a way to convert between ems and percentages or is that like green and red apples?
Also, personally, I prefer hybrid layouts that use px and %(or other relative units) when necessary. Another thing I favour is min and max dimensions in pixels so that I can exhibit some control over the wireframing /layout of my page.
Another reason why I do not like soley %'s is because of the possibility of being maximised on a huge resolution composed of multiple monitors. Although this would rarely happen, I do not want to take the risks of my text being stung out in one line.
when applied to an element's width, ems are percentages. Except the percentage is based on the base font size rather than the container elements width. It's not to much about comparing apples to apples is using the right tool for the right job to begin with.
When you think percentages, you are basing your calcs on the parent, but when you are using ems, to a degree, you are thinking content.
When talking fonts-size.. ems and % are essentially the same font-size:2em and font-size:200% do the same thing.
it seems that what you want to do could be accomplished with min/max width
hope that helps
It did help a little, but what I am using the em as the unit for the line-height for a horizontal list that in a way determines the height of the container of that horizontal list.
It is this way because the container only contains those list items.
When I was validating said page, I saw that the W3C validator did not recognise or recognised the em unit an invalid.
So I was looking for what other unit could I use for the line-height:1.6em; to maintain the dimensions of the horizontal list container with valid units.
I hope that helped explain what I am trying to achieve more. I apologise if I am being confusing, but please let me know if you have any questions or confusions.
I really appreciate all the help!
You can use line-height "unit-less" so to speak: line-height: 1.6;
line-height: 1.6;
Scallio beat me to it. Line height is a proportion or a fixed number. In essence it demonstrates what I said about ems being a ratio. Line height 1=1em or 100%.. I never realized W3C wouldn't validate if you used em or percentages but maybe they are just saving you some extra typing? lol
At first I was like oh wonderful! But, then I realised I also have the height set to 1.6em.
So I misspoke when I said the line-height acts as the height (: Both line-height and height are set to 1.6em.
So taking Scallio's advice and I removed em. This gets rid of the error for the line-height attribute, but causes one for the height attribute because height needs units. And I can't use ems, so what other unit and value should I substitute it with?
Any suggestions?
hmm so would
be sufficient and equal to 1.6 em for both attributes then?
Oh No, another Edit. I tested it and just realised that dresden_phoenix's conversion 1em = 1 = 100% only works for the line-height attribute.
So I guess we are back to the original question before any of the edits :eye:
Instead of 1.6em, which is invalid, or 1.6, which is not possible, for the height attribute, what other unit and value should I substitute it with?
Which validator are you using which says that em units for height is invalid?
I tend to use ems much more than any other unit unless I have fixed width images so that as much as possible all the elements are relative to each other.
I just tried the following through the W3C Unicorn validator and it came out fine, are you sure you don't have a different error above the statement which is causing the error?
div {
line-height: 1;
height: 150%;
background-color: red;
margin-bottom: 1em;
span {
height: 2em;
line-height: 0.5;
background-color: green;
display: block;
[quote="team1504,post:10,topic:7366"]hmm so would
be sufficient and equal to 1.6 em for both attributes then?[/quote]
Setting a percentage on an element dimension sets it relative to the parent element. So if you have width:50%, it makes it half the width of the parent element; if you have height:160%, it makes it 1.6 times the height of the parent element.
There's nothing wrong with having height:1.6em, which would set it to the size you want, although I think in this context you might be better to leave it off altogether. The problem is if the text runs onto a second line, you've got a fixed height that isn't enough for the second line.
What is the difference between the Unicorn Validator and the normal validator at validator.w3c.org?
Off Topic:
team1504 meant; line-height verses height and the fact line-height doesn't strictly need units - I suspect the sentence got slightly muddled
I probably did. :lol: Sorry guys.
Here is what the CSS Validator shows:W3C CSS Validator results for TextArea (CSS level 3)
Sorry! We found the following errors (2)URI : TextArea46 ul#navigationList ul Parse Error [empty string]47 ul#navigationList ul Parse Error [empty string]
When I :google:'d that error (Parse Error [empty string]), here is what I got:
Thats because the validator only shows valid CSS hence this partValid CSS informationThe font: .8em isn't valid CSS so it doesn't show on the validator page.bazz10-26-2008, 07:02 PMBlimey!!I missed that.bazz
from this page
However, now that I am actually looking at lines 46 and 47 border-radius is defined... But when I googled the error, it had nothing to do with border-radius and everything to do with using em's.
Here is a segment of that css lines 43-47.
So essentially, I was hoping you guys could help me fix this error, which I thought was due to using ems as the unit.
I apologise if I made things more confusing and I hope you guys can still help me.
Thanks in Advance, Team 1504
Do you have a website we can see this in action and explain what you need? All this theory is making me a bit dizzy
Unfortunately not This is all just small experiments / projects I am doing to refine my skills.
Can I clarify on anything or do you want me to restate it in a clearer fashion?
why are you setting the height?if you set the height to 1.6em it will be 1.6 tall even if the line wraps ( essentially cutting off the second line), if you dont want this to happen then DONT set the height at all. the height of the object will be whatever it needs to be to contain the whole content. so if it's one line it will be 1.6em.. if its 2 it will 3.2em and so forth.
when I removed the height:1.6em, I still got the error on lines 46 and 47, which have to do with border-radius.
So I :google:'d the parse error with border radius and found this sp forum thread:http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/css-53/border-radius-error-731686.html
I think looked in the reported bugs with the W3C validator and other have had this problem too.
I am really sorry for wasting your time, but I did learn a lot about the em unit
I would have searched SP forums, but nothing came up when I searched for Parse Error dealing with the em unit, which Google results said the parse error dealt with.
I sincerely apologise and I thank you for your help and time

EI regions
The following story corrects information that appeared in an earlier story published April 14 in The Guardian.
New employment insurance rules that divide P.E.I. into two EI regions will result in $1 million more in EI benefits paid to Islanders, but only those who live in rural areas will see gains from this increase.
That's because payments for those in the Charlottetown area will be reduced by $14 million every year, while benefits for rural Islanders will increase by $15 million.
A regulatory impact analysis statement for the proposed EI changes was published in the Canada Gazette last Friday.
The cost-benefit statement shows the creation of two EI regions in P.E.I. will increase program costs by $1 million every year.
The Guardian erroneously reported online earlier today and in Monday's edition of the paper those costs would be reduced by $1 million.
Costs for the feds will, in fact, be increased under the P.E.I. employment changes.
"The Guardian story on April 14 incorrectly stated that (fewer) EI benefits will be paid to Prince Edward Island as a result of the creation of two EI regions. In fact, we expect that there will be $1 million more in EI benefits paid to Prince Edward Island as a result of these changes. More than 9,000 residents of Prince Edward Island are expected to see an increase in their EI benefits because of this change," said Nick Koolsbergen, director of communications for federal Employment Minister Jason Kenney's office.
In February, the feds announced Prince Edward Island and the territories would soon be split into new employment insurance regions.
P.E.I. will go from being one EI region to having two EI zones — a capital region and a non-capital region.
This is being done to "reflect the difference in economic conditions between the capital area of Charlottetown and the non-urban areas of Prince Edward Island," Koolsbergen said.
"This brings the same fairness to Islanders that is already the case in all other provinces in Canada."
It has been known since the announcement the change would result in higher benefits for rural claimants.
The cost-benefit analysis released last week now attaches concrete numbers on how this will break down in P.E.I.
It estimates 9,150 EI claimants living outside Charlottetown would have had higher benefits if the changes had been implemented this year.
Meanwhile, 5,450 people in Charlottetown would have seen their benefits reduced.
The federal department estimates those in the Charlottetown region will see their total claims cut by $2,560.
The 9,150 rural Islanders getting a bump in EI payments will see an average total increase of $1,620.
This works out to a total estimated increase for residents of rural P.E.I. of close to $15 million every year.
Meanwhile, payments to EI claimants in the Charlottetown region will be reduced by a yearly total about $14 million.
Charlottetown Mayor Clifford Lee did not mince words in his criticism of this reduction in benefits for capital city residents.
"It's just cruelness," he said Monday.
"I've said from day one this is bad public policy, it's a conquer and divide approach and it's really disappointing when this is what our national government has gotten to."
He pointed to the fact the only federal riding not negatively affected by these changes is Egmont – currentlyrepresented by federal Fisheries Minister and Conservative MP Gail Shea.
Lee called this blatant patronage.
"The changes were made to the program in an attempt for the federal minister to bring something to her district," Lee said.
"In order for her to improve the EI program for the people in her district, she had to take money from some other area… to say this is not politics, then can somebody please tell me how the city of Summerside becomes rural P.E.I. under these changes other than the fact the city of Summerside is in Minister Shea's riding? It's the only reason."
The City of Charlottetown passed a resolution last month urging the feds to reverse the EI changes.
Now Lee says the city is looking to form a coalition with 'like-minded groups' to help lend a unified voice in opposing the changes.
Stakeholders can provide comment on the proposed changes to EI regions for the next 30 days.
The changes are scheduled to come into effect on Oct. 12.

Log Cabin Quilters met Thursday, March 19 at the Levy County Quilt Museum. It was great to get the quilts back in place after going to Trenton to the Quilt Festival. We took our Rail Fence and Alline and Cathy worked on it and we had lots of people who had never seen hand quilting. It was a great festival and we saw so many people who came to the museum.
Doris brought in her 'stack and whak' quilt - so pretty. Cleo and Marge put quilts back where they came from. Now we look like we are supposed to.

odd little story, although I quite enjoyed reading it.
It's about a boy growing up in the US in a small town at the turn of the century (1900), who goes on journeys to an alternate future (1975).
I felt that the end rather pettered out, but for all that, well worth the read.

Video by Justin Gunson.
The sun was beating down on the slopestyle course as the final day of the Nike Open Dew Tour at Breckenridge Colorado wrapped up. Today was the men's and women's slopestyle finals, and boy was the competition fierce. The level of progression that slopestyle contests have taken is unbelievable. If you were to look at a men's or women's final run from three years ago, and put it next to a run from today that run from three years ago wouldn't even make it past qualifiers. That's how fast things have progressed.
The woman started things off nice and early today. The contest began at 9:30 sharp and the women got first dibs on the amazing course that Breckenridge put together. Some standouts from the contest were, Sarka Pancochova's frontside rodeo 5, Jamie Anderson's rail tricks, but in the end it was Spencer O'Brien who came out with the win. She rode hard and strong all day doing huge switch backside 5's and a massive frontside rodeo 7. She also held her grabs the whole time. She rode super solid. The final results looked like this:
1.Spencer O'brein
2. Enni Rukajärvi
3. Sarka Pancochova
When the men took the course, the sun was beating directly overhead and made the jumps somewhat softer. The riding level for men right now is so crazy. If you can't do double corks, and spinning at least 1080's on every hit, then you really have no business being in a professional slopestyle contest these days. Highlights from the men include: Chas Guldemond's massive double rodeo-flips, Sage Kotsenburg's massive sw backside 1260's and Gjermund Braaten's super cool 360 wallride. When the run's were finished, and all was said and done, the results looked like this:
1.Gjermund Braaten
2. Seb Toots
3. Charles Reid
The Nike Open Dew Tour at Breckenridge was a super awesome time. We'll see everyone next month from the 19-22 in Killington Vermont at the next Dew Tour!

Springfield, Mass. - Jonathan Whitson closed out his collegiate career Friday night at the NABC Division II East-West All-Star Game, scoring 18 points and pulling down four rebounds in 22 minutes of play in helping lead the West to the 131-125 victory.
Whitson went eight of 14 from the floor, one of two from behind the arc and one of one from the free throw line in finishing fourth in scoring among the West All-Stars. The senior forward from Clyde, N.C. also added a blocked shot and a steal on the defensive end.
Whitson becomes the first Brevard College men's basketball player to be selected to the DII All-Star Game and caps a season in which Whitson has already been recognized as a Daktronics NCAA II All-Southeast Region Second Team and NABC All-District First Team selection.
Whitson was also named a First Team All-South Atlantic Conference selection and was the 2010 Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament Most Valuable Player in leading the Tornados men's basketball team to Brevard College's first SAC title.
Throughout the year, Whitson achieved the personal milestone of reaching 2,000 points in his career and he currently is the BC career leader in points scored at 2,028, rebounds with 942, field goals made at 785, field goals attempted at 1,510, free throws made with 438, free throws attempted at 603 and will finish his career as the Brevard College all-time scoring average leader, averaging 18.0 points per game as a Tornados.
For the season, Whitson also set several records, including most free throws made and most consecutive free throws made in a row, while also setting the school record for most consecutive free throws made in a game and most field goals made in a game.

A Memorial Day Salute and a Web Reunion
Posted by
About a year ago I started creating short videos of photo cases I've worked on and began posting them on
. Last week I featured a photo from Valerie Moran. It's a lovely summer scene and the flags in it provided a valuable clue. Hope you enjoy it! A New York production company created the 3-D effect.
After years of writing about other folks online reunions, I now have one to brag about concerning one of my husband's relatives: A Facebook friend, Meryn Cadell, sent me an e-mail last week. I've included the links in this quote.
"I was just browsing the website of the ACE hotel in New York, and came across a lovely postcard, sent from the
Hotel Breslin
in 1908 to a little boy in Newton, Mass. named Gilbert McNamara. I wondered who he might be, and did a little searching, coming across your
lovely story
about the table that belonged to your husband's grandmother as well as a Gilbert McNamara, quite likely the same one, as the year and location seem appropriate."
When I saw this email and the postcard, I couldn't believe it! I immediately picked up the phone and called my mother-in-law. She confirmed that the Gilbert in the postcard was indeed the right person. Now it's a family history mystery in three parts:
How did the postcard end up on the web?
What was Mother McNamara doing in New York in December 1909?
Who was watching Gil?
Ah..the power of the web to connect folks and information. Wow! Thank you Meryn.

It's a Family Tree Reunion!
Posted by
Last week I wrote about June Thomazin's search for information on a picture, featured in my
Research Rewards
post. A relative had identified the subjects, but June thought the photo depicted someone else. All her digging finally paid off.
One of the readers of this blog contacted me to say that she owned a copy of the picture and had additional details. She said that the photo was identified as Wesley and Catherine Newman by Catherine's great-great- granddaughter, who'd received it from her mother. She added, "Wesley was indeed a veteran of the Civil War and died in the Old Soldier's Home."
One of the basic rules of photo research is to seek out distant family members to see if they have identifications for your unidentified images. It happens all the time. I'm so happy that June has a "new" cousin to contact.
When I forwarded the e-mail, she quickly wrote back that she hadn't research that collateral line yet and was really excited to have someone to share information with. June wrote, "I'm on cloud nine."
June found her connection through this blog. It's one of those serendipitous genealogical moments. Don't forget to check photo-reunion sites. Thousands of people a week use
looking for family photos. More and more genealogists are also looking for family on
Who knows what you might find?

Research Rewards
Posted by
When June Thomazin submitted this photo of an elderly couple she also sent me an extensive account of her research. I'm so impressed by her efforts that I thought it would make a good topic for this column.
June's dedicated months to her search for data. Here's a summary:
In the fall of 2009 June received the above photo from a cousin. It was labeled
W.C. Dunaway's parents
. According to her research this would mean that the subjects are James William Harvey Dunaway (1829-1880) and his wife Treacy Humphress Bateman (1820-1901).
She's not sure this is correct, and actually thinks this photo depicts William Calvin Dunaway's in-laws, Wesley (1821-1899) and Elizabeth Close Newman (1826-1919). Her goal was to determine a date for this photo. Since James Dunaway died in 1880 she's hoping to prove it dates from later than that.
On Nov.18, 2009, June began researching the photographer. She contacted the Kansas State Historical Society, Fort Scott Public Library, the State Library of Kansas, and the Old Fort Genealogical Society. No luck. No one has any information on a photographer named Letton.
A John F. Letton appeared in the Masonic Directories for 1881, 1884, 1885 and 1898. He doesn't appear in any of the Fort Scott City Directories in the collection of the Old Fort Scott Genealogical Society. No listing in 1865-66, 1871-72, 1875, 1879, 1883, 1888, 1889-90, 1891-92, 1893, 1896, and 1898.
In those city directories is a record of Wesley and Elizabeth. They lived in Fort Scott; James lived a few miles away. His widow, Treacy, moved to Fort Scott after his death in 1880.
On the same day, June learns of another picture (below) in another relative's collection. It was taken circa 1888 and depicts William Calvin Dunaway and his family. It has the same background!
June also included notes in her timeline about sources she still needed to check.
In addition to contacting the facilities named above, June spent time researching the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) ribbon worn by the husband in the first photo (we'll take a closer look at this next week). The ribbon, dating from after 1876, identifies him as a member of the GAR, a veterans group. Wesley served during the Civil War.
Sanborn fire insurance maps for Fort Scott for 1884, 1888, 1893 and 1899 didn't show any evidence of photo studio. Fire insurance maps often reveal details about the occupants of buildings in addition to construction materials.
Nor does Letton appear in Carl Mautz,
Biographies of Western Photographers
(Carl Mautz Publishing).
In January 2010, June spends more time trying to determine if any of the Lettons mentioned in census records for surrounding states could be the photographer who ends up in Fort Scott. There's a Caleb Letton in the 1870 and 1880 federal census for Jacksonville, Ill.
Additional research on the style of the image, black cardstock with gold trim, suggests it dates from the late 1880s to early 1890s.
In early 2010 June sends the photo to me. She's right about the cardstock. Black was one of the popular colors for cardstock in the mid-1880s.
The clothing worn by the wife also suggests that the picture dates from the mid-1880s. Her long bodice extends way past her hips and features an opening in the front. A lace color at the neckline was worn by women from the late 1870s into the mid 1880s.
It appears this couple was misidentified by whoever wrote the caption:
"W.C. Dunaway's parents—my great grandparents."
Photo labels are often incorrect, especially when written by someone who didn't actually know the individuals in the image.
June feels this older woman looks like Catherine Newman Dunaway, the daughter of Wesley and Elizabeth.
One more detail clinches the identification. You'll see two tintypes in the September issue of
Family Tree Magazine
. I'll blog about the facial feature that is an identification clue.
June's research paid off. She spent at least two long days following up on clues, consulted her family history and then contacted experts to help her.
Excellent job!!

Sorting Truth From Fiction: Picture Tales
Posted by
Behind every picture is a story. Some are simple tales of why someone went to have their portrait taken. In other cases, a picture tells the story of a lifetime.
Carmen Camoros sent this soft-focus photo of two young women. She's hoping one of them is her grandmother.
Carmen's mother always told her that her grandmother had died giving birth to her in 1911 in Puerto Rico. She never talked about her. After Carmen's mother died in 1979, Carmen packed up her belongings and put them away.
A decade later, she decided to look at them. In it was her mother's empty wallet with this picture inside. The original is only 2 x 2 inches. Carmen's convinced the woman on the left looks just like her Mom. She's sure that the woman is her grandmother.
There's a twist in this story. Carmen began researching her family and discovered that her grandmother didn't die in childbirth. She died of dysentery at 28 years of age, when Carmen's mother was 9. For 5 years, her mother lived with her maternal grandparents until her father's remarriage.
Carmen's right. This photo could very well be her grandmother. The long, flowing dresses are from the first decade of the 20th century, but their hair clinches the date. Both young women wear decorative bands and trims popular from 1911 to about 1915. The large coils on her grandmother's head were one variation on the full styles of that decade.
The chair in the photo is in the Egyptian Revival style of the late 19th century. It was bowed legs and a curved, slatted back.
It appears the grandmother has flowers pinned to the front of her dress. The significance of this picture and those flowers is a still a mystery—at least for now.

Wow. Wow. Wow. That's all I heard at last week's National Genealogical Society conference. It really was fantastic! More than 2,700 individuals attended the four day event. I got to meet blog fans, see Facebook friends and examine great photos. I presented lectures on 19th century picture analysis, 20th century photos in family collections and one on immigrant clues in images.
When I wasn't lecturing I was in the exhibit hall giving private photo consultations and looking at photo-related stuff for sale. Here's a snapshot view of some of the items I thought you'd be interested in.
I love these photo blocks from
Echo Road
. You personalize them using copies of your family photos.
Have fun with your photos by using them in games, such as a deck of cards. These are from the folks at
Ancestry Games
I browsed from booth to booth looking for creative ways to express family history and found these lovely framed interpretations of a pedigree chart from Jill Means of
Legacy Design
Unfortunately, I don't have pictures of some of the other items I saw, but definitely take a look at these websites:
John E. Groberg of
had some beautiful oversize photo trees in his booth.
Stories by Me
had a selection of photo blocks, games, magnets and other items that you could personalize using copies of your photos.
If you're looking for a way to organize and incorporate your photos into your family history, check out

Head-to-Toe Fashion Sense
Posted by
Pamela Fisher sent in this gorgeous photo of a confident and determined young woman. Her direct gaze shows she's comfortable in front of the camera. The question is, of course, who is she?
Pamela owns an old book that had a small collection of photos stuck in the pages. The book and the photos belonged to the Fisher family. Since the provenance (history of ownership) of the items suggested young woman was a member of the Fisher family, Pamela thought this would be an easy ID. She thought it must be Rilla Cooper (b. 1860)who married into the Fisher family and that the photo was taken in Spokane, Wash., circa 1880. Rilla is a mysterious ancestor her family doesn't know much about.
Unfortunately, this identification is incorrect. As soon as I saw the image, I knew it wasn't taken in the 1880s, when women's dresses had fitted bodices and large buttons. From head to toe, this young woman is the epitome of early-20th century fashion.
When I called Pamela to discuss the picture she wondered, "If not Rilla, then who?" That's the exactly the problem. Let's stack up the clues and see if it's possible to narrow the time frame.
In the first decade of the 20th century, women wore their hair full. Creating this hairstyle required a "rat," a device made from your own hair harvested from a hair brush and formed into a sausage roll or (artificial versions existed). Women's magazines such as
Ladies Home Journal
ridiculed the extreme hairstyles of this period by showing examples of good and bad hair.
It's difficult to see, but it appears that this young woman wears a hat. Large hats were the style in the decade from 1900 to 1910. In this case, it looks like a collection of ribbons.
In the early years of the 1900- to-1910 period, dresses featured high necklines and lace insets in the yoke; in the latter part of the decade, large buttons added detail to the yoke. Corsets, which women wore beginning in their teens, created narrow waistlines.
Late-19th century dress reform advocates changed the way women dressed. In the 20th century many women worked in offices and needed functional, easy-care clothing. The two-piece outfit—blouse and skirt—was a necessity.
A quick glance at the 1909 Sears catalog shows blouses, skirts and hairstyles just like the one worn by this girl. You can view them in Joanne Olian's book,
Everyday Fashions 1909-1920 as Pictured in the Sears Catalog
(Dover Publications). Shirts with buttons and tucks were commonplace from about 1905 on.
Pamela wondered why this girl crossed her legs. It's not uncommon to see women in this time frame posing this way, but most women of the time believed crossing one's legs was not in good taste.
Perhaps this girl wanted to show off her boots. They're highly polished leather walking boots laced up the front. It looks like they have a bishop heel that tapers from the heel to the bottom. If that's true, this detail helps date the image. According to Nancy Rexford's
Women's Shoes in America, 1795-1930
(Kent State University Press), this type of heel was popular through 1905, then it was replaced by other shapes.
So who is this stylish young woman? If the photo was taken about 1905, Pamela wonders if she could be Rilla (Cooper) Fisher's daughter Elizabeth who was born between 1883 and 1885. In 1905, Lizzie would be 20 to 22 years of age.

Birth and Death in the Family Album: Readers Respond
Posted by
Joy and sadness often go hand in hand in family photo collections. This week I'll show off some photos that readers sent me. Be warned....the last two pictures depict disturbing images.
Susan Roose thinks the photo above depicts William (died November 22, 1877) and Daniel Hunt (died November 30, 1877). They were both just a few months older than one year. Notice the woman under the cloth. She's holding them still. These two babies look very healthy here.
Elizabeth Handler emailed this ambrotype of Marion Helen Alston (1850-1885) and her twin sister Christina. The back of the image states that it was framed by
J.J. Gillespie Co. Fine Arts.
Gillespie was a famous frame shop in Pittsburgh.
Bonnie Bileski of Winnipeg, Manitoba sent this snapshot of Violet Clements, her grandmother Olive Clements (back, right) and the twins, Victor and Victoria (born July 1, 1899).
Last week I told you I had some sad pictures from Judy Linnebach's family collection. Since so many folks e-mailed me to see them, I'll share them here.
Judy thinks that this picture depicts Freida Kohler (Nov. 7, 1907 -July 6, 1924). The cause of death was congenital hydrocephalus.
Judi has no idea who this man is. All that's certain is that he's deceased and that he was photographed in St. Louis. Jay Ruby's book,
Secure the Shadow: Death and Photography in America
(out of print, but available used) is the best guide to this topic.
Jackie McGuire sent in this picture with a heartbreaking story. A family story relates the tragedy of Elsietta Burns: "She was a much-beloved little girl, they say, but one day she was outside playing under the cherry tree and eating lots of cherries. She didn't know to spit out the pits and they killed her before the family could do anything for her."

Final Words on the Triplets
Posted by Diane
For the last two weeks I've written about a photo owned by Judy Linnebach. It depicts a couple and their three triplets. In the first installment,
Motherhood Times Three,
I discussed multiple births in the 19th century. They were a lot more common than I thought!
In last week's installment,
Mother Hubbard
, I provided information on the family and their attire. I forgot to mention that in the 19th century it was common practice to obtain photos of deceased children. In this instance, the family asked an experienced photographer to take a photo of their babies even though one of them was deceased.
Additional research on the family added a mystery. There were two surviving infants, but only one lived to be an adult. I wondered what happened to George Boll. Judy was able to send me a funeral card for him.
I don't read German, so if a reader could translate the text and enter it in the comments, I'd really appreciate it.
If you want to know more about funeral cards, genealogist Elizabeth Kelley Kerstens has an
online article
on the topic. Geneablogger Dee Welborn has a great blog on these cards,
Funeral Cards and Genealogy
. Fascinating stuff! If you thought they were just death announcements, check out Dee's site. You can learn a lot about your family from these seemingly simple cards.
Judy Linnebach also sent me a photo of an unidentified dead ancestor and a picture of a child who died from hydroencephalitis. If you want to see them, leave me a comment and I'll post them.
In the meantime, please

Mother Hubbard
Posted by
Last week I featured
Judy Linnebach's picture
of a 19th-century couple and their triplets. If you have a photo of a pre-1900 set of triplets, I'd love to post it in this space. Just about everyone who commented mentioned a multiple birth in their family. I can't wait to see the photos—you can
e-mail them to me
Here's the rest of the story about Judy's photo.
When she wrote to me, she asked if this could be John Basilius Boll, his wife Barbara Platzer Boll and their children. According to her research, the couple married in 1879 and had two children before they had a set of twins in 1883. Is it possible that one of the triplets died and the death went unrecorded? Let's examine the evidence.
The picture is a card photograph measuring 2.5x4 inches. It's the size of a carte de visite. These small card photos were first introduced into the United States in 1859 and remained popular for decades. The thin red line border was first common in the late 1860s.
Tobias and Co. took this photo. On the back of the image is the name of the company and key details about their location and practice.
What I find interesting is the first sentence of the second paragraph: "To Mothers and heads of Families, we wish to call their attention to the frequent trouble of obtaining good and permanent Pictures of Babies." Tobias & Co. had a patented process to guarantee success.
To locate more information on Tobias, I contacted the
St. Louis Public Library
and spoke with librarians in both the local history collection and in fine arts. The company appeared in 1878 and later city directories, but by the mid-1880s Henry Tobias was a printer. It was unclear from census data if this was the same man who ran the photo studio.
This photo was found in a Bible once owned by Judy's father's maternal grandmother, Lena Wilhelms. Given that it wasn't directly connected to the Boll family, I asked Judy to research all the branches of the family to see if there was another multiple birth.
Last week
, we learned that multiple births were hereditary, so it's quite possible that this could depict someone else in her family. No luck!
There was another possibility though: Lena's daughter Emma was a genealogist and collected information on the Boll family. It's likely that she placed the pictures in the Bible for safe-keeping.
The clothing clues in this picture are fascinating. The husband wears a simple work shirt (the Bolls were farmers). The wife's dress is barely visible except for a plain neckline and lace-trimmed cuffs. My grandmother always wore a "house dress" when she was home, and I wondered if the same wasn't true in the 1880s. While this woman's dress isn't the current 1880s dress that you see if fashion encyclopedias, there was a wide variety of dresses for women.
In the 1880s, a new style of dress became popular for pregnant women. It was called a Mother Hubbard. Loose-fitting and comfortable, these cotton dresses could be made with a pattern available from a catalog. The mother in this photo had likely just given birth—these are very small infants. With three babies to breast-feed, a comfortable dress like a Mother Hubbard would be perfect attire. They often featured trim at the cuffs, just like you see here.
They were so comfy that many other women wore them belted in summer to stay cool. It was a controversial choice. In the Oct. 26, 1884,
New York Times
, an article titled, "The Mother Hubbard in Chicago" talked about variations of the dress being worn by women in one neighborhood and how one particular woman had been arrested for it. It ended on a reassuring note: "Ladies who wear Mother Hubbard dresses on the street need not be alarmed. There is no ordinance in Chicago against the wearing of them, although such an ordinance is in vogue in the town of Morris, Ill."
According to Joan Severa in
Dressed for the Photographer: Ordinary Americans & Fashion, 1840-1900
(Kent State University Press), these dresses were meant for indoor use. They were house dresses, not to be worn outdoors.
So could this picture depict the Bolls and their children in 1883? The evidence is conflicting.
In late December 1883, the Bolls had twin boys baptized—Charles and George.
In the 1900 census, the family is listed except for George. I have to double-check with Judy on his whereabouts. When asked, Barbara said she'd given birth to six children but that only five were still living. Could this refer to a deceased George? There were five children currently living with the parents. Why not mention another child if one of the triplets died?
Could another multiple birth in the family have gone unrecorded? It's possible.
Right now it appears that this photo documents the Boll family.
The mother's dress dates from the 1880s.
The photographer could still be taking images in his printing business (if, of course, it's the same man)
There are no other documented multiple births in the family.
Judy has one documented multiple birth—the twin boys.
If this is the Bolls and their babies, then one of these triplets is likely deceased. This was a complicated case.
It's a haunting image. Next week I'll be back with some other unusual pictures from Judy's family!

Motherhood Times Three
Posted by
Judy Linnebach sent me this haunting photo of a couple and their three babies. That's right, triplets! I don't have all the answers yet, I'm still working on it. I'll post the second installment next week.
This image has obviously been enhanced by the photographer—the man's beard, her hair and all their eyes have additional dark ink added to them. The baby on the right has eyes dotted in. Blue or light green eyes tend to appear very light in early photographs so it's not unusual to see this type of enhancement.
Since I'm still gathering facts about this picture, the family and the photographer, I have some general impressions but no real answers yet.
I have, however, learned a lot about multiple births in the 19th century.
A century before fertility treatments made multiple births relatively common, it was unusual to bear more than two babies at once. According to George Milby Gould and Walter Lytle Pyle, authors of
Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

), most multiple births in the 19th century were to women in the age range of 30 to 34, and heredity was a factor. The odds of having a multiple birth varied by country. In Germany, for instance, it was one in 7,910.
They cite examples of multiple births including a Mrs. Page of Texas, who gave birth to quadruplets in 1890 and was such a sensation that the family toured the following cities: Denver, St. Joseph, Omaha, Nebraska City, and then Boston. She'd already given birth to three sets of twins. I'd love to see a picture of this family! There were 14 children.
Judy wrote that she "hoped this photo is enough to pique my interest." Absolutely! It's a complicated story, so bear with me while we sort it out.

The Culture Diaries
A Week in Culture: Carlene Bauer, WriterBy Carlene Baeur
Tonight I went to my first Spanish class at Idlewild on Nineteenth Street. 7:30 to 9 P.M.. When I signed up for this class in November, shortly after I came back from spending a few weeks in Barcelona, I was flush with the joy of recent travel, and intent on injecting some novelty, intellectual and otherwise, into my life. I had an idea that I might try to make it back to Spain at the end of this year, and if that happened, I'd like to be able to do more than buy a few peaches without tripping over my tongue, or wanting to revert to French, the only other foreign language I know. And if that never happened, I would at least be doing something to forestall dementia. But as the intervening weeks, growing colder and darker, put more and more distance between me and that trip—I dreamed that, didn't I?—I started to wonder why I'd done such a thing. It seemed as unnecessary and out of character as signing up for ten colonics through Groupon. But when, after the fifteen of us had gathered in a circle in the back of the store, and the teacher welcomed us in Spanish, something in me quickened in response to hearing the language. Maybe it was just sound as souvenir, but some sleeping dog in me perked up. Something similar had happened back in Barcelona, while standing in the La Central bookstore, looking at all the books I wanted to read but could not, feeling a strange urgency to get the key that would unlock what lay between those covers, a strange feeling that this was a language I needed to know deeper.

Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas
Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas (Licenciatura, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México) will be Hewlett Visiting Fellow for Public Policy at the Kellogg Institute for much of the spring semester. Recently appointed coordinator of International Affairs for Mexico City, Cárdenas is a distinguished Mexican politician and democracy advocate who was instrumental in opening up the political process in Mexico, dominated for almost 60 years by the one-party rule of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI).
Cárdenas rose through PRI ranks to governor of Michoacán before becoming fed up with the party's increasing corruption. Leaving the party, he ran for president in 1988 and came very close to winning—indeed, many Mexicans contend that the government stole the election. In 1989, he founded the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), and in 1997 was elected to the new post of mayor of Mexico City. He ran again for president in 1994 and 2000.
Cárdenas has served as Tinker Visiting Professor at the University of Chicago and as visiting professor at the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Among his many honors is the 2010 Notre Dame Prize for Distinguished Public Service in Latin America.
While in residence at Kellogg, Cárdenas will coteach a course on the history of modern Mexico with Faculty Fellow Jaime Pensado.

A 57-year-old man was convicted Thursday by a jury of a deadly shooting last year at a Salt Lake City park.
Francisco Alverez was convicted of first-degree felony murder for the May 2011 death of 29-year-old Jorge Veracruz.
Alverez also was convicted of second-degree felony possession of a dangerous weapon by a restricted person and third-degree felony discharge of a weapon.
He faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 4 by 3rd District Judge Elizabeth Hruby-Mills.
Alverez and Veracruz were part of a group hanging out and drinking in Riverside Park, 700 North and 1400 West in Salt Lake City, on the evening of May 5, 2011.
The two men began arguing, and soon there was talk of fighting. When Veracruz walked away, Alverez fired three shots from a semiautomatic handgun, prosecutors say.
Veracruz was hit in the back of the right arm. A second round went into the right side of his back. A third shot hit the left side of his back, piercing his spleen, stomach and aorta before stopping in his lung.
Defense attorneys have said Alverez was protecting himself from a perceived threat and believed Veracruz was going to rob him and fired only when he saw the victim reaching for something in a bag.
A mistrial was declared in October after a witness offered testimony that defense attorneys said tainted the jury.
Alverez was convicted of homicide in 1980 for running over 59-year-old David Bingham with a truck in Ogden the previous year. Alverez was paroled in 1985 but has spent time in state and federal prison since then for various crimes.

text: cruachan - Unregistered September 16, 2012 1:25 PM Congrats to RHR and Andretti Autosport, they've done a great job after several years in the wilderness (relatively) and Ryan has shown great consistency this year. Credit to Will Power too. I've never been a fan of him due to some of his off track antics but he showed a lot of dignity and class to be one of the first to congratulate Ryan. He's in danger of becoming IndyCar's Nori Haga though, three years in a row he's lost it at the finale. 8 agree 2 disagree
