Royals acquire Shields from Rays for prospects
And that wasn't all. The Royals also obtained another right-handed starting pitcher, Wade Davis, from the Rays. Going to Tampa Bay with Myers are pitchers Jake Odorizzi and Mike Montgomery and third baseman Patrick Leonard.
Along with Shields and Davis, Kansas City is to receive a player to be named or cash.
"It really wasn't too much of a surprise. Obviously, the initial shock of being traded," Shields said on Monday. "But I've been being talked about over the last year and a half, and I've been kind of prepping myself for this day. To be honest, I didn't know which teams were interested in me. You hear the rumors, but I'm excited to be a Royal. There's a lot of young talent."
Shields is expected to jump right into the leadership role in the Royals' rotation, which was seen as the team's weakest department last season.
"Well, yeah," Royals general manager Dayton Moore said. "He was one of the premier starting pitchers in all of Major League Baseball and someone that was highly sought after in trades this offseason and we're fortunate to have the prospect package that would allow us to consummate a deal of this caliber. Getting James Shields and Wade Davis upgrades our rotation immediately so we feel very good about where we are with the previous deals that we made -- trading for Ervin Santana and signing Jeremy Guthrie."
In MLB.com's list of the Royals' Top Prospects, Myers was ranked first, Odorizzi third and Montgomery sixth.
"It's not easy to give up prospects but it's important that we start winning games," Moore said.
Prospects acquired by Rays
- Wil Myers, OF: Myers, ranked No. 3 on MLB's Top 100 Prospects list and No. 1 on the Royals' Top 20 at the time of the trade, was arguably the best hitting prospect in the Minor Leagues. He appears ready for his first big league shot. Initially drafted as a catcher, Myers moved to the outfield after one year behind the plate and he should fit the mold of a run-producing right fielder in the very near future.
- Jake Odorizzi, RHP: Odorizzi was No. 30 on MLB's Top 100 Prospects list and No. 3 on the Royals' Top 20. This is the second time Odorizzi has been traded; he originally was drafted by the Brewers before being shipped to Kansas City in the Zack Greinke deal. The 2012 Futures Game starter shows four pitches that have the chance to be average or better. He can get his fastball up to 95 mph, sitting in the 92-93 mph range with plenty of sink. His curve can be plus at times, he has an above-average slider and his changeup grades out as average.
- Mike Montgomery, LHP: Montgomery, the Royals' No. 6 prospect, has seen his star fade a bit of late. Once thought to be one of the top left-handed pitching prospects in the game, Montgomery has scuffled more often than not for the past two seasons. Command issues have largely been the culprit as he walked 4.1 per nine in 2011 and 3.8 in 2012, along with allowing 10.8 hits per nine this past season. As much as he's struggled, Montgomery's pure stuff gives the Rays plenty to work with.
- Patrick Leonard, 3B: A product of the Craig Biggio-coached St. Thomas High School program in Texas, Leonard got an above-slot deal to sign instead of heading to the University of Georgia. His pro debut in 2012 -- he signed too late in 2011 to play -- was a solid one, especially in terms of showing glimpses of his power potential. He tied for the Appalachian League lead in home runs while finishing eighth in slugging percentage. While he may never be a high average guy, it does look like he'll make consistent contact to reach that power in the future.
- Top 20 Prospects: Rays | Royals
- -- Jonathan Mayo
The Royals already are considered to have a solid starting lineup and a strong, deep bullpen, so this trade likely will place them among the title contenders in the American League Central.
"Let's make something very clear. Billy Butler, Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez and Alcides Escobar signed here long-term with the full expectation that we, as a baseball operations department, would do everything that we can to put the best team on the field every single night," Moore said. "That's what we've committed to our fans, that's what we've committed to our players, so when an opportunity comes along that you can acquire a pitcher like James Shields and Wade Davis, we have to do it."
Shields, who'll turn 31 on Dec. 20, had a 15-10 record this year and a 3.52 ERA in 33 starts with 223 strikeouts. He piled up 227 2/3 innings, a big plus for the Royals who needed to lessen the load on a hard-worked bullpen.
Moore indicated that Davis, 27, will resume a starting role after pitching exclusively in relief for the Rays this year. He had a 3-0 record with a 2.43 ERA in 54 games in 2012 after making a combined 64 starts for the Rays from 2009 to 2011.
"I was working out to be prepared for that when the World Series was going on," Davis said of becoming a starter. "It was something I was hoping to get the opportunity to do, and I'll be ready.
"I think I've learned how to put my foot on the gas pedal and ... just be able to go out from the start of the game. ... I came up with [Shields], and he was the leader of the staff when I first got called up. He's the type of guy that rubs off on other people. Regular season and postseason, it was, 'We're going to go out and win every game,' and it didn't matter the opposing pitcher. 'We're going to be the difference.' He's brought that mentality onto all of us, and we've all latched on to it."
The deal gives the KC rotation some size -- Shields is 6-foot-4, 215 pounds and Davis goes 6-foot-5, 225.
It also adds some salary to the Royals' payroll. Shields will make $10.25 million in 2013 and $12 million in 2014, after which he could become a free agent. Davis' 2013 salary is $2.8 million and that goes to $4.8 million in 2014.
Royals owner David Glass had said he was willing to boost the 2013 payroll past the $70 million level for the right players. This could take it about $10 million beyond that.
"The Glasses have allowed us to create a great environment in which people like to work and they've given us the resources to build a strong farm system and make the necessary moves at the Major League level to improve and to win," Moore said. "It's time for us as an organization to win at the Major League level and we have to use all our resources. Our farm system is certainly one of them."
Shields was one of the most popular players in Tampa Bay history. He owns a career 87-73 record and 3.89 ERA and is the Rays' all-time leader in wins, starts (217), innings pitched (1,454 2/3), strikeouts (1,250), complete games (19) and shutouts (eight).
He got word of the trade from Andrew Friedman, the Rays' executive vice-president of baseball operations.
"I think I felt like something was going to happen this offseason," Shields said. "I was kind of hoping it wouldn't. I really like the organization and the Tampa Bay area. But Andrew felt like it was my time to go and here I am, I'm going to start a new chapter in my life and move on and try to help the Kansas City Royals."
The seven-year veteran has made a club-record four Opening Day starts, and 2012 was his sixth consecutive season of at least 200 innings. In his final start for the Rays, on Oct. 2 against the Orioles, Shields collected a club-record 15 strikeouts in a complete-game two-hitter with no walks, but took a 1-0 loss.
In 2011, Shields made the AL All-Star team and finished third in the AL Cy Young Award race.
Davis went 12-10 with a 4.07 ERA in 2010 and was third in the AL Rookie of the Year voting. In 118 career outings, including 64 starts, his record is 28-22 with a 3.94 ERA. As a starter, he's 25-22 with a 4.22 ERA.
Myers, who turns 22 on Monday, pounded a total of 37 home runs with 109 RBIs and a .314 average this year combined in Triple-A and Double-A. He was named the Minor League Player of the Year by USA Today, Baseball America and Topps. He's ranked No. 3 in the nation in MLB.com's Top 100 Prospects.
With B.J. Upton leaving the Rays for a five-year, $75.25-million deal with the Braves, Myers could get a shot at filling the vacancy in center field.
Odorizzi, 22, was 15-5 with a 3.03 ERA in 26 games this year combined for Triple-A Omaha and Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Called up in September, he made two starts for Kansas City and was 0-1. He was expected to have a chance to make the KC rotation this year.
This was the second major trade in right-hander Odorizzi's career. He was part of the Dec. 19, 2010, deal that sent Zack Greinke to the Brewers and brought Odorizzi, Escobar, Lorenzo Cain and Jeremy Jeffress to KC. Jeffress recently was dealt to the Blue Jays.
"I was a little surprised by it, with the timing of the evening and all that, but I'm excited -- I'll have a lot of opportunities with Tampa Bay. It's a young team just like here in Kansas City," Odorizzi said. "So I'm going to take it as an opportunity and make the most out of it."
The Royals announced the trade about 10 p.m. CT on Sunday.
Montgomery, 23, made a bid to make the Royals' roster in Spring Training 2011 but followed that with two lackluster seasons in the Minor Leagues. This year he was demoted from Omaha to Northwest Arkansas and finished 5-12 with a 6.07 ERA in a combined 27 starts.
Leonard, 20, hit 14 home runs with 46 RBIs and a .251 average in 62 games this year for the Rookie Burlington club. He was the Royals' fifth-round choice in the 2011 Draft.
Depth in the Minor Leagues enabled the Royals to make the trade.
"If you're going to win consistently in the Major Leagues, you have to have a rotation that's going to give you innings and compete and give you a chance to win," Moore said. "That's what our goal is, to put together a very good rotation and we feel like we've been able to do that."

Olecrenon Bursitis
The elbow is made up of three bones, which are connected by muscles, ligaments and tendons. The humerus is the large upper arm bone. The ulna and radius are the two bones in the forearm. Looking at the forearm with the palm of the hand facing up, the ulna is located on the inner (medial) aspect of the forearm. The radius is located on the outer (lateral) aspect of the forearm. Projecting from the end of the humerus are the medial and lateral epicondyles. The epicondyles are the boney attachment sites for many of the forearm muscles.
A bursa (pl. bursae) is a small fluid filled sac that decreases the friction between two tissues. Bursae also protect bony structures. There are many different bursae around the elbow but the one that is most commonly injured is the olecrenon bursa.
The olecrenon bursa is usually very thin. When irritated or injured the olecrenon bursa can fill with fluid or blood and become large and painful. If repeatedly irritated or injured, the walls of the bursa may thicken and have irregular areas of scar tissue that are often mistaken as "bone chips". Calcium may also collect inside the bursa.
After a direct blow to the elbow the olecrenon bursa can become swollen. This can occur immediately or over a couple of hours. The degree of swelling can vary. The elbow is usually very painful to touch and it can also be painful to move. In addition, the area around the olecrenon bursa may be warm. If there is significant swelling X-rays are usually performed to rule out a broken or chipped bone.
Depending on the severity of the injury, the treatment of traumatic olecrenon bursitis may include resting the elbow, applying ice packs to the area, light compression of the elbow with a tensor bandage and elevation of the injured arm. Medications to help reduce the swelling and pain may also be required. If there is a large amount of swelling and the elbow is uncomfortable the bursa may need to be drained by a doctor.
After the swelling comes down and the bursa is less painful, padding the area may be required for some types of work, sports and recreational activities like gardening. In rare cases surgery is required to...

Wrist Ganglion
What is a wrist ganglion?
"Ganglion" is the term used to describe a collection or "small sac" of fluid that can form around the wrist. Wrist ganglions are most often found on the back of the wrist, but they may also be found on the palm side of the wrist, or deep inside the wrist tissues.
What causes a wrist ganglion to form?
It is unclear what causes wrist ganglions to form, but they are often associated with repetitive use of the wrist, injury to the wrist or arthritis of the wrist. Ganglions may be small or large, and can increase or decrease in size. They are more common in women than in men and usually develop in adulthood.
Can a wrist ganglion be detected on X-ray?
A wrist ganglion cannot be seen on an x-ray. However, x-rays are often done to rule out arthritis or problems with the bones of the wrist that may be the underlying cause the wrist ganglion.
What does a wrist ganglion feel like?
A wrist ganglion may or may not be painful. Often people complain about the appearance more than the pain.
What other information is available on wrist ganglions?
The diagnosis and treatment of a ...

Every year in the NFL, an assortment of players have tremendous seasons that ultimately aren't rewarded with an All-Pro distinction because of even more tremendous seasons turned in by other, more high-profile players sometimes on more high-profile, winning teams. Sure, the Associated Press typically does a fine job identifying the league's best players for the All-Pro team, but with a limited amount of spots available, there's always an unfortunate number of guys, who, in almost any other campaign, would garner an All-Pro honor. The following players *won't* be First-Team All-Pros in 2013. But let's call them glorified honorable mentions. Quarterback - Drew Brees Peyton Manning will be the First-Team All-Pro quarterback. As he should. Heck, he's probably going to take home the MVP award. As he should. But, damn, Drew Brees has had an All-Pro / MVP-caliber season thus far. He's completing 68 percent of his passes and is averaging 340 yards per game. He's fired 25 touchdowns to only seven interceptions. His Saints are 7-2. He's on pace to fall just shy of his own single-season passing yard record of 5,476. Running Back - Reggie Bush Some combination of LeSean McCoy, Alfred Morris, Marshawn Lynch, Jamaal Charles and maybe even Adrian Peterson will be the two First-Team All-Pro running backs. That stinks for Reggie Bush. We've said it many times during his NFL career, but only now is he reaching what was thought to be his ceiling all along. He's averaging a robust 4.7 yards per carry, and he's already caught 34 passes for 343 yards with two receiving touchdowns. At this rate, Bush will finish the season with over 1,100 rushing yards and over 1,700 yards from scrimmage with a handful of scores. USC Reggie Bush was so fun, and he's playing in Detroit this year. Fullback - Bruce Miller Not quite sure who'll win this award—probably Anthony Sherman of the Kansas City Chiefs or maybe Mike Tolbert of the Carolina Panthers if he's still considered a fullback. But Miller's been on the field often for the San Francisco 49ers and paves the way for many of Frank Gore's big runs. Wide Receiver - DeSean Jackson Get used to seeing the names A.J. Green and Calvin Johnson as the First-Team All-Pro wide receivers. It happened in 2012, it'll happen in 2013, and it's bound to happen in the future. Andre Johnson and Dez Bryant are other candidates here, but DeSean Jackson simply has been better than both those larger, more physically imposing wideouts. He has a better catch percentage than Johnson and Bryant, he has more yards than Johnson and Bryant and averages more yards per catch than Johnson and Bryant. If he keeps it up, Jackson will catch around 80-85 passes for over 1,400 yards and should reach the double-digit touchdown mark. That's All-Pro worthy. Tight End - Jordan Cameron Jimmy Graham is the First-Team All-Pro tight end this year. No questions asked. But Jordan Cameron's having one hell of a year in Cleveland for the Browns. He's caught 50 passes on only 71 targets for 600 yards and six touchdowns on a team that's dealt with its fair share of quarterback issues. Offensive Tackles - Zach Strief Trent Williams and Nate Solder will probably be the First-Team All-Pro offensive tackles. Jake Long of the St. Louis Rams could even get some consideration, as could Carolina Panthers' left tackle Jordan Gross and Joe Thomas of the Cleveland Browns. But do right tackles get love on the All-Pro team? Eh. Sometimes. Blocking for Brees, Zach Strief, New Orleans' right tackle, has been an absolute wall. According to Pro Football Focus, he's allowed only one sack, one quarterback hit and 12 hurries. Guards - Josh Sitton If you've watched the Green Bay Packers this season, you've noticed two things; they need Aaron Rodgers back and their running game is miles ahead of where it was even last season. Eddie Lacy will get the pub, but guard Josh Sitton has been a wrecking ball on the interior. He's also PFF's highest-rated pass-blocking guard right now. Center - Stefen Wisniewski Chris Myers, Nick Hardwick or Dominic Raiola will be the First-Team All-Pro center. He's on a bad team, but Stefen Wisniewski has rounded into form as one of the game's most versatile, punishing centers. He's been a fine run-blocking pivot and has only allowed four quarterback hurries. That's it. No sacks. No hits. According to PFF, of course. Defensive End - Greg Hardy What a log-jammed position. This will be the second of MANY First-Team All-Pro honors for J.J. Watt, and Robert Quinn of the St. Louis Rams—technically a 4-3 defensive end—is having one hell of a season. But forgotten amid the slew of terrorizing, household-name pass-rushers is the Carolina Panthers' Greg Hardy. He has only five sacks, but generates some form of quarterback pressure every 6.5 snaps. That pressure rate is one of the best in all of football. He's a stud, but not many know it. Defensive Tackle - Jurrell Casey Take your pick from Dontari Poe, Gerald McCoy, Randy Starks and Ndamukong Suh for the First-Team All-Pro's two defensive tackle spots. Please don't forget Jurrell Casey. Who? Yeah, Jurrell Casey of the Tennessee Titans. He's a third-year pro from USC and already has accumulated seven sacks. He creates pressure on the quarterback every 8.5 snaps, a super-efficient figure for a defensive tackle. On a per pass-rush snap basis, Casey creates pressure more frequently than Chandler Jones, Jared Allen and Carlos Dunlap. Outside Linebacker - Lavonte David Either Tamba Hali, his teammate Justin Houston, and ageless wonders Robert Mathis and Terrell Suggs will likely be the final candidates to get the two First-Team All-Pro outside linebacker spots. While all four of those defenders are piecing together remarkable seasons, it's a shame that 4-3 outside linebackers, guys who don't necessarily finish the year with 12 sacks and bunch of forced fumbles, usually get disregarded for their flashier, 3-4 brethren. Lavonte David of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is a sideline-to-sideline animal who does it all. He's comfortable in coverage, he's a menacing downhill run-stopper and he gets after the quarterback with ease thanks to quick-twitch athleticism and a high football IQ. He already has five sacks. Inside Linebacker - Sean Lee Had Sean Lee not gotten hurt, he'd have been a lock for one of the two First-Team All-Pro inside linebacker spots. Now, in all likelihood, Derrick Johnson, NaVorro Bowman or Luke Kuechly will earn those distinctions. Lee is the middle linebacker version of David. He's a three-down Mr. Reliable who excels in coverage, something that's vital in today's pass-happy NFL. Before he tweaked his hamstring against the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, the former Penn State star—yes, Penn State is still Linebacker U—had 93 tackles, four interceptions and two forced fumbles. Watch how Dallas' defense struggles mightily without him. Cornerback - Marcus Cooper Darrelle Revis, Richard Sherman and maybe Alterraun Verner of the Tennessee Titans will be the First-Team All-Pro cornerbacks this year. But Marcus Cooper, the 252nd overall pick in the 2013 draft, has been the best cornerback on the Kansas City Chiefs this season and one of the most effective in the entire league. He has two interceptions and, according to ESPN, he's defended 14 passes this year. Damn. Safety - T.J. Ward The safety position is loaded with big-name players who've been magnificent over the first 10 weeks. Venturing a guess here—some combination of Devin McCourty, Eric Berry, or Earl Thomas will be the First-Team All-Pro safeties. However, T.J. Ward of the Cleveland Browns has been outstanding with 64 tackles, two interceptions—one pick six—and 1.5 sacks. He's a young, blossoming player in the traditionally defensive-minded AFC North.
TEAMS: New Orleans Saints, Detroit Lions, Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs, San Francisco 49ers, Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles Rams, Cleveland Browns, Green Bay Packers, Los Angeles Chargers, Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Miami Dolphins, Indianapolis Colts, Baltimore Ravens, Penn State Nittany Lions

Windows 7 Gets Official Release Date: October 22
June 3, 2009
Windows 7 will indeed be hitting in time for the holiday season. The much-buzzed about operating system is set to inherit the operating system throne from the much-maligned Windows Vista, with general commercial availability starting on October 22 according to a Microsoft press release aired today.
Previous reports had come quite close to pegging the release date, with October 23 being the cited date in many reports. Bill Veghte, senior vice president for Microsoft's Windows, helped announced the true date, stating, "We feel confident that we will deliver Windows 7 with our partners on Oct. 22."
Microsoft faces tremendous pressure with the release. The company has been hounded by its investors in recent months for revenue drops related to the recession. These investors are quick to note that Windows Vista, while a solid seller, failed to surpass Windows XP.
Despite these problems, Vista and other Windows operating systems accounted for roughly 30 percent of the company's $60B USD in sales in 2008. Windows-based operating systems are currently installed on approximately 90 percent of the world's personal computers.
For Microsoft, the finalized release date represents both good news and bad. The good news is it will make the lucrative holiday shopping season, a frequent time for people to buy new systems. The bad news is that it will miss the equally lucrative back-to-school shopping season, where parents and college students typically purchase systems.
Microsoft does face some pressure, too — Apple will be releasing its Snow Leopard OS sometime this summer or fall, and Google recently announced that its Android OS was coming to netbooks, courtesy of Acer. The challenges, for now, though are limited — Windows 7 will almost certainly lead these next generation operating systems in sales.

Welcome disc golfer! You can login or create an account.
Questions? Call us: (785) 258-2494
The Innova Champion Firebird is a distance driver that is overstable. It is one of Innova's most popular upwind drivers that works well into a headwind. The Firebird's combination of superior speed and stability make it possible to throw drives into the wind with confidence. An excellent disc golf disc for throwing long range flex shots. A favorite of sidearm and overhead throwers, too. This disc is designed for professional level players.
It is a great choice for headwinds, power players, big hyzers, flex shots, and stable sidearm shots.
Speed 9, Glide 3, Turn 0, Fade 4
About Champion plastic in general - it is more stable than all other plastics. It provides outstanding performance and durability. Champion golf discs retain original flight characteristics much longer and are distinguished by their clear or pearlescent colors.
About Color and Availability - pictured above are some available Champion colors. This model may not be available in all of these colors. Likewise, each weight range may not be available in all colors. Therefore we ask you to list and prioritize your color preferences and to give us guidance if the color or weight range you want happens to not be available. Feel free to contact us if you need more specific info.
|150 Class - 175g
|150 Class - 175g
|Champion Dyed
"If you need a disc to go left no matter what, this is the right disc for you. You can throw this disc as hard as you want and it will not flip over. It is my favorite disc for strong head winds and hyzer shots. This disc is also over-stable in all weights!" - Paul McBeth
"Until recently I had never had a disc like the Firebird in my bag! I throw it hard and flat and it still fades hard at the end. It is my go to disc for certain situations and I am pretty sure it has saved me a million strokes! I also use it for getting out of trouble shots like a thumber, tomahawk, and a flick disc from an awkward stance. I love it." - Hannah Leatherman
"The Firebird is really fast and truly predictable. If it's windy and there is trouble around, I pull out my Firebird." - Steve Brinster
"The Firebird is probably the most used disc in my bag. I can pick a spot on the ground and land it there just about every time." - Will Schusterick
If you are looking for a disc with
more Fade, try the Monster
more Turn, try the Viking
more Glide, try the Thunderbird
Other Speed 9 discs include the FL, Roadrunner, Sidewinder, Thunderbird, Valkyrie and Viking.
For Comparison:
The Innova FL is a distance driver that is straight to slightly overstable. Also known as the Firebird-L, the FL was designed to have more glide and less fade at the end of the flight than a traditional Firebird. It is an excellent driver for windy days as well as sidearm throws and overhead throws. The FL is a great first step into the world of overstable drivers. 21.2 cm diameter.
Speed 9, Glide 3, Turn 0, Fade 2
Available in Star. Weights 160-175 grams. Straight to Slightly Overstable.
"The Firebird is the gold standard of overstable drivers, and the FL is an even easier-to-throw version of the original." - Christian Dietrich

Reviews for this host's other properties
Was the worst book the Widmu. We had ever chosen. After an overnight flight we were looking for the address indicated on the our apartment should be. The present staff at the front desk but nothing of us knew. After much back and forth, we finally realized that was noted on the confirmation of English to another address. But as the same. No one knew about us and you could also give us a key. After what felt like hours, two strange men came by chance to help us. They found after 8 calls an address about 30 km away from our location to get out and drove my daughter and me finally to this address. I you do not need to describe how we felt. Just in a foreign country without a cell phone, because now that were acoustically empty to get in the car and not knowing where it went. In all the documents that we had received from Wineu keinerlein reference to this address. We had this office without the help of two Indians never found. The men haven really took excellent care of us. After about 3 hours we finally arrived at the property. But the hotel was in the middle of a construction site. It has worked continuously to both the outdoor areas as well as inside the house. The shower was cold and the dishes were more than poor. There were 4 people 1 spoon and example. 3 cups and everything else only partially. We will never book again with Wimdu. We will also report any of this nightmare. That was really the very last. Even our friend who lives in Dubai has something not yet experienced.
Widmu war die schlechteste Buchung die. Wir je gewählt hatten. Nach einem Nachtflug suchten wir die angegebene Adresse in der unser Apartment sein sollte auf. Der anwesende Mitarbeiter an der Rezeption wusste allerdings überhaupt nichts von uns. Nach langem hin und her stellten wir schließlich fest, das auf der englischen Bestätigung eine andere Adresse vermerkt war. Doch da das gleiche. Man wusste nicht über uns und man könnte uns auch keinen Schlüssel geben. Nach gefühlten Stunden kamen uns zufällig zwei fremde Männer zur Hilfe. Sie fanden nach ca. 8 Telefonaten eine Adresse ca. 30 km von unserem Standort entfernt raus und fuhren meine Tochter und mich schließlich zu dieser Adresse. Ich brauche Ihnen wohl nicht zu schildern wie wir uns fühlten. Einfach in einem fremden Land ohne Handy, da mittlerweile die akus leer waren ins Auto zu steigen und nicht zu wissen wo es hin ging. In allen unterlagen die wir von Wineu erhalten haben war keinerlein Hinweis auf diese Adresse. Wir hatten dieses Büro auch ohne die Hilfe der beiden Inder niemals gefunden. Die Männer haven sich wirklich super um uns gekümmert. Nach ca.3 Stunden kamen wir dann endlich in der Unterkunft an. Aber die unterkunft lag mitten in einer Baustelle. Es wurde sowohl an den Außenanlagen sowie auch innerhalb des Hauses ständig gearbeitet. Die Dusche war kalt und das Geschirr war mehr als dürftig. Es gab für 4 Personen 1 Löffel und zB. 3 Tassen und ansonsten alles nur unvollständig. Wir werden nie wieder über Wimdu buchen. Wir werden auch jedem von diesem Albtraum berichten. Das war wirklich das allerletzte. Auch unser Freund der in Dubai lebt hat so etwas bisher noch nicht erlebt.
Very nice and pleasant moment. The strong point for us have been : peace , security and cleanliness of the place of residence
Very nice apartment, but a few small renovations could be made once again. To this end, clean windows would belong to us in any case, through which one could hardly see through and repainted walls. Unfortunately, the flow of information in the agency office was also very poor. We only received a route description without address details and our collection designed to your apartment very complicated, because the key was in the apartment and you can move either with the car in the Tierfgarage still get to his apartment in the elevator without it. Our stay, however, has us very well fallen, great view and great location and the beach. We would love to come back.
Sehr schönes Apartment, allerdings könnten mal wieder ein paar kleine Renovierungsarbeiten vorgenommen werden. Hierzu würden für uns auf jeden Fall saubere Fenster gehören, durch die man kaum durchschauen konnte und neu gestrichene Wände. Leider war der Informationsfluss im Agenturbüro auch sehr dürftig. Wir erhielten lediglich eine Anfahrtsbeschreibung ohne Adressangaben und unser Einzug ins Apartment gestaltete sich sehr aufwendig, da der Schlüssel sich im Apartment befand und man ohne diesen sich weder mit dem Auto in der Tierfgarage bewegen noch im Fahrstuhl an seine Wohnung gelangen kann. Unser Aufenthalt hat uns jedoch sehr gut gefallen, toller Ausblick und tolle Lage auch zum Strand. Wir würden gerne wiederkommen.
Dishwasher seemed ikke.Deffekte pans without handles.
Apartment with terrace where there was a lot of noise from the road.
We were promised wash and change of towels every 4 days. Come only after 5 day. All the dirty laundry that was shifted low again in my living room. Was not taken as long as we had the apartment. Disappointed standard and service on the basis of cost of rent. Are unlikely to hire in the future.
Oppvaskmaskin virket ikke.Deffekte panner uten handtak.
Leilighet med terasse der det var mye støy fra vei.
Vi var lovet vask og skifte av håndkleetter 4 dager. Kom først etter 5. dag. Alt skittentøy som var skiftet låg igjen mitt i stuen. Vart ikke hentet så lenge vi hadde leiligheten. Skuffet over standard og service utfra kostnad ved leige. Kommer neppe til å leie i fremtiden.
Could not review this apartment because we never got it. Was put in another apartment with a bedroom and less violent sewage smell, without any information about the apartment changed. Complaining and arguing, and after two nights kloakkrus got nice new apartment.
Kan ikke anmelde denne leiligheten fordi vi aldri fikk den. Ble puttet i en annen leilighet med et soverom mindre og voldsom kloakklukt, uten noe informasjon om leilighetsbyttet. Klaget og kranglet, og etter to netter i kloakkrus fikk vi ny flott leilighet.
The apartment itself is very well presented and was ideal for my guests and myself. It has private parking as well, just make sure you don't park outside the front entrance over night or you will end up with a parking ticket!
The fridge/freezer had an ice-make which didn't work which was disappointing as it meant we had to continually buy and bring back ice from petrol stations etc. Due to the location of this apartment there is nothing within walking distance! No shops or cafes so bear that in mind also the new metro station which although being in direct sight of the front entrance of the apartment is not easy to get to!
My main concern was that one the first night on arrival to the apartment at around 4am I decided to sit out on the large balcony and relax with a coffee until I was rudely disturbed by the apartment's security guards whom accused me of having a party! Seems a few of the apartment's neighbours are a bit over zealous so bear that in mind!
Great location - right next to metro, 24 hr supermarket 20 meters away. My Stay staff responded well to our needs. Apartment itself was very nice. Lots of treats on arrival (cereal, crisps, soft drinks). Would stay there again, which is the highest compliment you can give somewhere.
Not recommended - poor service, not just check into the building, man must go an extra woanderes with suitcases. After check in - room still dirty and not clean from the last guest still wuschig old linens on the bed ... (check in at 15:00, room was not completed until around 18:00) and holes in the mold in the bathroom. damaged linens, lots of stuff in the house and so on ......... Next time better B & B in place so NEN Locals would like to "Picturesque apartment"
Nicht Empfehlenswert - schlechte Service, nicht direkt Check in im Gebäude, mann muss extra woanderes hinfahren mit den Koffern. Nach dem Check in - Zimmer noch schmutzig und nicht sauber, von dem letzen Gast noch alte Bettwäsche wuschig auf dem Bett...(Check in um 15:00 -Zimmer war erst gegen 18:00 fertig).Schimmel im Bad und Löcher im Bettlaken, viele Sachen in der Wohnung beschädigt und so weiter.........Nächstes mal lieber B&B bei den Locals statt so nen möchtegern "Malerische Wohnung"

Why? Well, the arrogance of Mfest in targeting the same date as Bimmerfest when Bimmerfest specifically kept their same date is absolutely absurd. Bimmerfest is the show that has gone on for longer with the more dedicated following. Mfest is quite simply a cash grab for Chris Naguit. Speaking from experience in attending Mfest, it is nothing more than a trip to Las Vegas with some BMW's thrown in and having to throw money at the organizers to get a T-shirt.
BimmerBoost has been speaking to its vendors and they find it absurd that Mfest decided to make this move. They are finding it rather low class to force a choice in such manner. Those vendors are choosing to attend Bimmerfest instead. BimmerBoost has spoken to its California vendors and they are happy to choose to attend Bimmerfest in lieu of Mfest especially considering the cost difference involved and how little they felt they got in return from past Mfest sponsorship.
BimmerBoost also will be working as an official media sponsor of Bimmerfest this year. Out of the two, it was only Bimmerfest who took the time to state BimmerBoost's involvement and presence would be desired and appreciated. So, BimmerBoost will do everything in its power to support BimmerFest including organizing caravans for its members to attend BimmerFest (complete with group parking), photo coverage, video coverage, as well as encouraging its vendors to attend.
After attending Mfest I was left with a bad taste in my mouth. The entire event is poorly organized and my past review would be posted as a reference but Chris deleted it off his forum. Their "club" events they try to make look so cool really just amount to people funneling cash so the Mfest boys can get bottle service and then nobody else knows where these "tables" are or where/when to go. Somehow the Mfest clique got their tables and club entrance though:
When attempting to go to the drag strip with other Mfest attendees (we're there to enjoy the cars I thought?) Chris Naguit specifically would delete the posts about Mfest group drag racing on the Mfest forums because he was not getting a cut from the drag strip racing that he has now added as an event after the fact when BimmerBoost suggested having drag racing be a part of the weekend in the first place. Seriously Chris?
Not to mention all the "raffles" that were supposedly to go to BMW enthusiasts attending Mfest instead ended up going to one of the guys working for Mfest who happened to be selling the raffle tickets and had a huge stack of as many of them as he wanted. He "somehow" managed to get a very large amount of "free" parts in the "raffles" for attendees. Shady? You bet. Don't believe me? Don't take my word for it then:
Same guy winning all the parts year after year who knows the organizer and is handling the raffle tickets? A little fishy don't you think?
If one wants to replicate the Mfest experience all they have to do is grab a BMW, drive to Vegas, and light their money on fire (or more accurately give it to Chris so he and his friends have a great time in Vegas ON YOUR DIME). Done. Bimmerfest is a community gathering of all BMW's, not specifically targeting a certain demographic (Asians with M cars), and where the real enthusiasts will be. One is an event for posers to try to look cool in "modified" BMW's (EXAMPLE HERE) the other is for BMW enthusiasts from all walks of life. Which one are you?
More to come as official announcements are made.

Patch 5.4 Developer Interviews
Vanion recently had the opportunity to attend the WoW Roundtable at Gamescom. You can find information from previous interviews on our Patch 5.4 Developer Interviews page.
New Character Models
- The new character models are roughly 25% done.
- It is unlikely that all of the new models will be released at once. The ones that are done will be released and then more will be added throughout the patch cycle.
- The new Garrosh model has a lot of bones and facial animation that could be similar to what we see in new character models.
- Garrosh also provides a nice test case to see if players want their character to look like that.
- The new character models are being worked on very carefully to avoid changing how the characters feel, especially the animations.
- There is a lot more to animate now with beards, ponytails, and hands with actual fingers. The animations have to have the same emotion as the old models, but just look better.
- The new models and animations are compared to the old ones at weekly art meetings to ensure that they feel right.
Future Plans
- The new toy items added in Mists of Pandaria take up a lot of inventory space, so they are high on the priority list of things to remove from player bags. Heirlooms are next on the list, followed by tabards, but there is no solid timeline on when this will be available yet.
- Spectator mode for raids and arenas isn't likely for the near future, as it would require a lot of tech and there are other more high priority things that need to be done first.
- There are no major changes coming to holiday events, just the usual yearly updates. Almost all of the events have been updated in the past and are in a good place now. Time would be better spent adding new content to the game rather than changing up Hallow's End yet again.
Patch 5.4 / Siege of Orgrimmar
- Garrosh has a Heroic only phase in the burning Stormwind Harbor.
- Players invest a lot of time into the last boss of an expansion, but the awesome gear that they got is replaced fairly quickly in the next expansion. The heirloom weapons from Garrosh are an attempt to compensate for that, as they will usually be the best leveling weapon you can get.
- Moving Dalaran to use in the Siege of Orgrimmar was considered, but it would have caused serious performance issues for many players. It also may have reduced the impact that players had as far as feeling like heroes. Players should feel like they were the ones to defeat Garrosh, not that Dalaran showed up and they did the job.
- The team considered changing racials in Patch 5.4, as a lot of the top guilds are switching to Horde. The impact it has on the game is limited to a handful of guilds in the world, so changing it for everyone because a handful of guilds feel that the Horde racials will make the difference in PvE ended up not being worth it.
- Racials are really supposed to be a flavor thing rather than something to balance the game around, so it isn't likely that we will see changes in the near future.
- During Cataclysm there was a revamp of the graphics system by adding shadows to the game, which required raising the ambient light in every zone, as the shadows made it too dark. This resulted in the night time having more ambient light than it used to.
- Patch 5.4 will have a test case for darker nights in Orgrimmar, Stormwind, and Vale of Eternal Blossoms.
- There isn't as much competition with Challenge Modes as the developers had hoped.
- PvE competition is a great thing to have in the game. World Firsts are nice, but they happen once in a patch cycle. It would be nice to see some of the Challenge Mode concepts in raiding, but just speed clearing the raid might not be the right thing.
- There will be another pass of the Valor system in the next expansion, but you shouldn't be able to cap Valor by just doing a raid that week.
- The Valor system is intended to get players to do a variety of content that they wouldn't normally do, but there has to be a balance.
- An idea for the future is adding a system similar to the Conquest catch up, allowing players that return to earn more Valor to catch up to everyone else. Not having to log in every single day might also be something to look at.
- The idea of Heroic only bosses is nice when they fit the story of the raid, but Ra-Den wasn't executed as well as it could have been because all of the testing was done internally. We might see another one in the future, but first they have to figure out a better way to test the boss.
- The team doesn't think that a small amount of players getting a legendary cloak after working towards it for an entire expansion will be a problem in the long run.
- The developers are happier with Mists of Pandaria than they were with Cataclysm.
- Cataclysm did a good job improving the old world, but there wasn't a strong endgame. Mists of Pandaria made a point of adding more and better quality endgame content.
- Mists of Pandaria was slightly weaker thematically, as there was no big looming end of the world disaster, which is something that players seem to really enjoy.
- People spent a lot of time in Shattrath, Dalaran, and now Shrine, but Cataclysm didn't add a new city or continent to call home.
- Redoing classic dungeons to make them into Heroic Dungeons was a nice concept that came out of Cataclysm, as they have been very popular and fun to create.
- In Cataclysm Thrall felt like the hero, but players just felt like they were helping him, rather than also being heroes.
Progress on the Next Expansion
- The concept artists, environment artists, and the level design team are the first groups to start working on a new expansion.
- The encounter team is the last team to move to the new expansion, as they are still finishing up Patch 5.4 and doing the final tuning.
- The release of an expansion partially depends on how long it takes to build and add quests to the new zones. This is why the final patch of an expansion usually doesn't have a lot of content that involves the exterior level design team, as they are already working on the zones for the next expansion.
- The Timeless Isle is off of the coast of the Jade Forest and is made with art assets from the Jade Forest, but presented in a completely different way. This allowed the team to add a new area without slowing down the work on the next expansion.
- The Burdens of Shaohao came from a part of the company that normally doesn't work on things like that and already has a lot of commitments, so there is no solid date for another similar series yet.
- The traditional player housing in MMOs isn't very interesting, maybe with the exception of Ultima Online. This was because you owned part of the world, making the area have real value. The idea of having an instanced chunk of the world that is decorated inside and no one will ever see isn't interesting, so housing in WoW would have to go beyond just visual customization with some gameplay elements or something else actually interesting.
- Offline progression for WoW could be interesting, but all the game has right now are things like daily cooldowns for some professions or the Tiller's farm.
- Revamping Fishing has been on the to-do list for years now, but it keeps getting pushed back.
- The guild level system already has some nice perks and the devs weren't able to come up with enough good perks to add more guild levels in Mists of Pandaria. Adding more levels also requires more achievements and other items, as well as making all new guilds level even more to get all of those perks.

Mentoring and More @ Moritz
Mentoring and More @ Moritz
Upcoming Events
There are no scheduled Mentoring and More @ Moritz events at this time. Please check back soon for the new schedule.
The Mentoring and More @ Moritz program is supported by the Baker Hostetler Endowment for Professional Development.
Mentoring and More @ Moritz serves as a bridge between the theory and the practice of law. Students learn by example from mentors who care deeply about improving law and its administration, have high expectations for themselves and their colleagues in the profession and are willing to help guide those who follow them into the profession.
Students participating in the mentoring program are placed in mentoring groups comprised of 3 to 5 students with at least 2 mentors. Mentoring assignments are made over the summer and each mentoring group is based on student interest and mentor background/practice area.
Throughout the academic year, mentoring groups are invited to luncheons held at the Moritz Barrister club featuring a prominent speaker addressing pressing issues and current trends in the law, followed by discussion between mentors, students, faculty and guests. Attending at least three of these lunches is a minimum requirement to participate in the program.
Mentoring and More @ Moritz luncheons serve as a springboard for encouraging continued, informal contact between students and mentors. Mentors and students are encouraged to meet more frequently outside of Moritz mentoring events to build upon and deepen the mentoring relationship.
Mentoring and More @ Moritz is open to all Moritz students. Incoming and current students interested in participating in the program must complete the Mentoring and More @ Moritz application detailing their mentoring interest.
Questions about the mentoring program can be addressed to:
Angela Henderson, Mentoring Coordinator
Moritz College of Law Room 374C
The Ohio State University

A Yucaipa couple have teamed up with law firm based in Claremont to take on a national company in a lawsuit that claims they were sold "junk insurance" that left them with more than $100,000 in unpaid medical bills.
It is the first lawsuit against the company seeking punitive damages, said William Shernoff, one of the attorneys representing the couple.
"We're hoping it will set a national precedent," he said.
Plaintiffs Norman and Kathleen Carter purchased a $1 million policy with Mid-West National Life Insurance Co. of Tennessee, a subsidiary of HealthMarkets, in 2004 because they wanted more intense hospital care insurance.
But the company, they claim, failed to disclose information, leading to coverage confusion, and only paid for about 25 percent of bills accumulated last year when Kathleen was treated for a form of abdominal cancer.
Mid-West National is denying any wrongdoing and says the Carters received what they were entitled to.
The trial started last week in West Valley Superior Court in Rancho Cucamonga.
In addition to the cost of the remaining medical bills and compensation for emotional stress, the couple are seeking punitive damages that would fine the company for its alleged behavior and potentially deter it from doing the same thing to future clients.
Opening statements
The Carters have been married for 40 years. Norman, 64, is a retired orthodontist who practiced for decades in Chino. Kathleen, 65, was a dental hygienist for years. They have two boys.
In 2004, the relatively healthy family decided to search for a new health insurance plan – one that allowed them to pay out-of-pocket for routine care but would still pay for catastrophic circumstances.
They wanted a higher deductible and a lower premium.
Their search, they said, led them to Joseph Bertino, an agent for Mid-West also named in the complaint.
During their appointment, Norman said they made it clear they wanted a plan that would protect them from the costs of hospital care, said Samuel Bruchey – with Shernoff Bidart Echeverria and Bentley, the law firm representing the family – during opening statements.
He was introduced to the Cover America plan – a $1 million lifetime maximum benefit policy for basic, hospital, medical-surgical insurance coverage.
Included in the policy, the couple said, was a miscellaneous category that was explained as hospital in-patient charges that would be paid by Mid-West up to $18,000.
"(Norman) thought miscellaneous meant odds and ends, little things. Leftovers," Bruchey said.
But to Mid-West, miscellaneous didn't just mean little things, it meant virtually every charge made by a hospital, Bruchey added.
Their only two exceptions were room-and-board expenses and fees for an intensive care unit stay.
But the plaintiffs are claiming that Bertino – and the policy – didn't explain or identify the kind of charges that Mid-West considers to be miscellaneous.
Regardless, Norman filled out an application and wrote a check to pay for the first month's premium.
"When he bought the policy, he had no idea just how little hospital insurance coverage they had," Bruchey said.
During their opening statements, lawyers representing Mid-West chronicled a similar series of events. They agreed that Norman sat down with Bertino and that he eventually bought life insurance from the company.
But they said testimony in the case will show that the amount of insurance Norman bought was disclosed to him at least six times by Bertino and the company.
"Dr. Carter received all of the benefits that he paid for," said Andre Cronthall, defense attorney with Sheppard Mullin Richter and Hampton.
The defense also focused on the fact that the Carters bought the least-expensive option available in the least-expensive plan.
Cronthall displayed the brochure for the jury, and when he was done explaining it said, "It is what it says it is – a basic plan."
"It's an affordable, but limited plan," he added.
Cronthall said it is not unusual to have a miscellaneous category in a policy and Bertino, as an agent, did what he was trained to do – provide a brochure explaining the coverage.
"Dr. Carter was informed repeatedly what was in the coverage after receiving certificate after certificate after certificate with a cover letter informing him to read it thoroughly," Cronthall said.
The main issue
In 2011, Kathleen Carter was was diagnosed with cancer.
From Jan. 23 to Feb. 15, she was admitted to Loma Linda University Medical Center and racked up more than $174,000 in charges – a discounted insurance price.
In processing the claims, Mid-West went through and decided that $134,000 was identified as miscellaneous, Bruchey said. The company denied the remaining costs – 77 percent of the bill.
If Norman had selected a different policy, it would have covered them for about 90 percent of that bill, Cronthall said.
The hospital sent bills to the Carters seeking payment, Bruchey said, but the couple said they were unable to pay.
The bills were turned over to collection agencies, which called and sent notices about unpaid bills.
"Kathleen actually told her husband she wished she had died because them she wouldn't continue to acquire costs Mid-West refused to pay," Bruchey told the jury.
Norman Carter wrote a letter to Mid-West saying he didn't understand why any of the charges could be deemed miscellaneous.
Things like operating room services, physical therapy, blood transfusions and ultrasounds – those were all critical, life-saving procedures in his mind, not odds and ends, Bruchey said.
During the next few months, he went back and forth with Bertino, who told him they received everything they were entitled to and that their certificate fully outlines the terms and provisions OF THE coverage.
Not their first time
The Carters' situation is not an isolated incident for HealthMarkets, and the corporation has been taken to court before, said Shernoff
In 2002, HealthMarkets agreed to pay $20 million to settle violations found by regulators in a 36-state investigation, according to a 2008 USA Today report.
"The investigation, prompted by numerous complaints, found that insurer HealthMarkets failed to properly train its sales agents, who didn't always fully disclose the limits of its health policies to consumers and sometimes did not pay for medical services promptly," according to the article.
From 2002 to 2008, "HealthMarkets has been fined by at least seven states and faced lawsuits from dozens of policyholders. In 2006, Massachusetts required the firm to reassess denials of policyholders' medical bills dating to January 2002," according to the article.
In 2008, Maine fined the company $1 million and ordered it to return $5.6 million to policyholders, USA Today reported.

…an elegant mounting and targeting system.
System Description:
The FAR-Sight is designed to work with most parallelogram mounts or tripod heads and porro-prism type binoculars, as well as many larger roof-prism binoculars, that have a standard 1/4-inch mounting hole. The mounting hole may be found by unscrewing a cover at the end of the hinge between the objective barrels of the binoculars. The top of the FAR-Sight bracket is compatible with most red-dot finders, used to aid in locating objects of interest.

How much further can the Vishnu single turbo kit go? Well, the single turbo is being run on the stock MAP sensor so 22.5 psi appears to be the current limit. Once this is bypassed it will be interesting to see how much further the fuel system and turbo can go. Congratulations for a major development for the platform and for it to finally get the push forward it was needing and deserving. We expect Horsepower Freaks to have a very similar offering based on this same Vishnu tuning solution.

Dynamic Music Technologies 2040VA
The design philosophy behind the 2040VA is to create an amp that embodies the best qualities of classic American and British tube amps, while keeping the control layout simple and making the circuit construction rugged and easy to service. This U.S.-made single-channel amp incorporates multiple voicing switches to reduce the knob count. When you plug into the 2040VA, your guitar's signal is conditioned with a 3-position Bright switch (optimizes the high frequency response for humbuckers or single-coils), a 3-postion Grind switch (sets the input sensitivity), and a Gain control. Next comes a 3-position Clean switch (provides two levels of attenuation to the signal that feeds the phase inverter), a 5-position rotary Voicing switch (selects three midrange points, bypasses the Voicing circuit, or bypasses the entire tone stack), and a Tone control, which is engaged in positions 1-4 of the Voicing switch.
Other details include Frequency and Intensity controls for the tremolo, a reverb Mix control with Hi/Lo switch (sets reverb sensitivity), and a Master Volume control. On the rear panel are the bias test points, a Power Step switch (40 watts, 20 watts, or 10 watts), a trio of speaker jacks (main, parallel, and series), and three RCA jacks for foot- switch control of reverb, tremolo, and Grind (footswitch is $160).
Getting good tones from the 2040VA is easy, but it requires some experimentation with the voicing switches for optimal results. This is not a particularly high-gain amp (the VB and HG versions have more gain) and I obtained the best distortion sounds with our test guitars by using the most boosted Grind setting with the Gain knob all the way up, no attenuation on the Clean switch, and the Voicing selector on positions 1 or 2 with the Tone control around two o' clock. This configuration yielded tones that were in the sonic camp of a vintage Marshall, and I could sweep between lead and rhythm tones very easily by varying my guitar's volume. Setting the Voicing switch to position #5 coaxes more gain by cutting out the tone-control circuitry, summoning a bit more aggression in the process.
Adding the lush sounding tremolo (which has excellent ranges of depth and speed) brings a lot of vibe to these textures, and the reverb also sounds excellent when using the Lo setting on the sensitivity switch (the High setting was too slamming for my tastes).
Because of its cleaner overall response, the 2040VA is great candidate for stompboxes, and by using a "no boost" setting on the Grind switch and rolling back the Gain control, the tones assumed a more Fender-like demeanor, with crisp highs, well presented mids (especially with the Voice control on position #2) and full-bodied lows. (Installing 6L6s pushes tone even more in a Fender direction.)With the Power Step switch set to 20 watts, the 2040VA felt similar to playing a Deluxe Reverb, and even with the power reduced to 5 watts the amp still had surprisingly good headroom and enough volume t...

Well, the end result is 527 rear wheel horsepower completely stock on pump gas. This dyno comes to us courtesy of our Premier Vendor IND-Distribution whom we thank for sharing it with us.
To put this power in perspective, the X5M and X6M put down 456 all wheel horsepower stock on 93 octane in SAE on a dynojet. So the M5 is much, much stronger partially due to routing the power to the rear wheels with a dual clutch transmission versus all four with an automatic and also due to more boost with higher compression.
For those who like to calculate drivetrain losses, the M5 is rated at 560 horsepower stock. That would put the drivetrain losses at 6%. Using the traditional dynojet standard of 15% the rear wheel horsepower should be at 476. BMW is underrating the new turbo motors and especially the M motors considerably. We are definitely glad they are over-delivering.
