2001 Hyundai Santa Fe ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
An attractive package with looks to match.
The questioner, an airport shuttle driver, had just spied the 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe parked outside the hotel's entrance. 'That's a Hyundai?' He was favorably impressed. Even without an up-close-and-personal examination, he allowed as how he'd take a close look at the Santa Fe if he were in shopping mode.
We were in Southern California, where automotive observation has achieved post-graduate degree status. On a lengthy drive the following day, everyday folk echoed the shuttle driver's reaction. From blue-haired teens to elderly blue hairs, the response was the same: 'What's that?' 'A Hyundai.' Finnbar O'Neill, president and chief executive officer of Hyundai Motor America, said the Santa Fe recorded a 'very high gawk factor' whenever he drove one on Los Angeles freeways. These initial reactions give hope for Hyundai officials as the company launches its first sport-utility in the world's toughest automotive market.
While we didn't gawk, we liked what we saw. And for the most part, we liked how the Santa Fe drove, both on and off paved roads.
The 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe comes in three versions. The base GL model ($16,499), the GLS ($19,299) and the LX ($20,499).
A 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine is available on the base GL model fitted with a five-speed manual transmission with front-wheel drive. A four-speed automatic is optional for $800.
All other models come with a 2.7-liter V6 with a four-speed automatic. They range from $18,299 to $21,999. All V6 models are available with front-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
ABS is optional across the line.
Standard features include cloth seating, power-assisted steering, power door locks and windows, tilt steering wheel, AM/FM/CD stereo with four speakers, illuminated glove box, air conditioning, carpeted passenger and cargo areas, three power outlets (two front, one rear), digital clock in overhead console, rear seat heating and air conditioning ducts, eight-way manually adjustable driver's seat, and reclining rear seatbacks.
In addition to ABS, optional on the base GL are a six-speaker AM/FM/CD and AM/FM/CD tape cassette stereo, power door locks and heated outside rearview mirrors, rear limited slip differential and first aid kit (comprising sunscreen, poison ivy balm, bandages and thermal blanket).
With GLS you get four-wheel disc brakes, the four-speed 'Shiftronic' automatic transmission with manual shift override, foglamps, the six-speaker AM/FM/CD and cassette stereo, power door locks and heated outside mirrors, first aid kit, under-cargo floor storage bin and leather-wrapped steering wheel.
GLS options include full-time four-wheel drive, traction control, limited slip differential and power driver's seat.
No surprise, but the LX is the plush entry, although to get the best you still have to check a few option boxes. Traction control, for instance, and ABS. Also Hyundai's full-time 4WD system. And automatic climate control. And the power-adjustable driver's seat and heated front seats. But you do get leather seating surfaces (which aren't offered even as options on the GL or GLS), auto-dimming inside rear view mirror and limited slip rear axle (when your order the optional full-time 4WD) for no extra cost.
All Hyundais boast one of the best warranty/service coverages in the business - powertrain: 10-years/100,000 miles; bumper-to-bumper: five-years/60,000 miles; corrosion: five-years/60,000 miles; and 24-hour roadside assistance: five-years/unlimited mileage.
Eschewing the demi-brutish, jutting-lower-jaw facade that's become so prevalent with today's quasi-off-roaders (see the Ford Escape, for instance), the Santa Fe proffers a visage that's softer, somewhat subdued, but still forceful. Hyundai has never designed a vehicle like this before, so it wasn't constrained with a sport-utility image, or that of an XUV for cross-over utility vehicle, an HUV for hybrid utility vehicle, or even a Cute-Ute.
Overall, Santa Fe's proportions are nicely balanced. The friendly front end blends smoothly into gentle flanks that suggest sufficient robustness to promise an off-road capability beyond that which most owners will expect or explore. Large wheel arches reinforce this robustness. The glasshouse is adequately sized. Like many smaller SUVs, the rear door side windows leave about four inches of glass showing when rolled all the way down.
The rear liftgate avoids the mistake made by the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4, whose right-side hinged tailgates force U.S. buyers to walk around the tailgate to load and unload from the curbside. The nifty, pistol-grip latch handle makes opening the gas-strutted liftgate a one-handed cinch, while the inside-mounted pull-down grip make closing it easy. When open, the liftgate easily clears six-footers.
Being new to the genre, Hyundai didn't have any mistakes to undo. And it hasn't made any.
Our first impression is that it's easy getting in, thanks to a low step-in height. You don't have to climb up to get in or climb down to get out. And rear seat passengers don't need to turn their feet sideways to clear the door jamb.
Once in, the interior is mostly touch-friendly. Human-hand sized controls for the stereo and climate control system offer easy adjustment. Climate controls felt and looked plasticky, though.
Seats are quite comfortable. Space-wise, the Santa Fe is competitive with or betters the competition. Only the Ford Escape beats the Santa Fe by more than a half-inch in front-seat headroom or hiproom.
The Santa Fe's rear-seat headroom equals or beats all but the Suzuki Grand Vitara. Santa Fe legroom equals or beats the competition. Rear-seat passengers get head restraints and three-point seatbelts only on the outer positions, none for the center position. The shoulder belt anchor loops are fixed, not adjustable. The restraining loops for rear-seat belt buckles don't seem very durable. And the rear seatback recline adjusters are fiercely awkward, consisting of fabric loops extending from the outer edge of the seatbacks; the easiest way to adjust them is to climb out and yank them until the seatback is where you think you want it. Rear-seat cupholders are molded into the door-mounted map pockets.
Cargo-wise, the Ford Escape is the only competitor significantly bettering the Santa Fe. For hauling cargo-type stuff, the Santa Fe is a nirvana of tie-down loops, boasting as many as nine, depending on the seating configuration. The optional, subfloor storage bins in the cargo area are a thoughtful feature, provided your stored items fit the pre-configured bins. In other words, nothing too tall, wide or thick.
Driving Impression
We first drove a four-wheel-drive LX model, which came with a 2.7-liter V6 that produces 185 horsepower and 187 pound-feet of torque. That's good power when compared against the V6-powered Ford Escape and Suzuki Grand Vitara. Indeed, only the Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute, which come with a 200-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, offer more power in this class. The Santa Fe offers much better acceleration than the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 with their four-cylinder engines. Still, we were a bit disappointed. Responsiveness was a bit sluggish. Downshifts were prompt and smooth, but somewhat less than fulfilling. Acceleration from a stoplight was, well, OK. We don't doubt the rated towing capacity, but we suspect it will be less than exhilarating.
Handling, though, was excellent with minimal top-heaviness in corners. As expected, the Santa Fe understeers in hard cornering (meaning it wants to go straight while you want it to turn), but nothing beyond what everyday drivers will expect. The brakes are refreshingly responsive, even before the ABS steps in.
We also drove a GLS without the optional full-time four-wheel drive. The GLS proved to be much, much more fun and more responsive, no doubt the benefit of subtracting the 331 pounds the 4WD system adds. EPA estimated fuel economy is 19/26 mpg city/highway for a front-wheel-drive GLS and 19/23 for a four-wheel-drive LX.
Then it came time to navigating Hyundai's selected, off-road venue, a sometime-motorcycle circuit in Southern California. A couple of sections were challenging, but the Santa Fe's full-time 4WD system was more than up to the test, even without the traction control system. Though details from Hyundai about its full-time four-wheel-drive system are lacking, the system worked fine on the off-road course Hyundai offered us. It's a dynamic, viscous system. Though the torque split wasn't available, we jacked up the back tires and stood on the accelerator and it raced across the room. So the system appears to do a good job of sending the torque where it's needed: to the tires with the most grip.
Hyundai's first sport-utility looks good. It's fun to drive, particularly the front-wheel-drive GLS. The optional four-wheel-drive system improves traction in slippery conditions, but places a burden on the V6 engine.
Overall, the new Hyundai Santa Fe is worth looking at for buyers considering the Ford Escape, Mazda Tribute, Honda CR-V, Suzuki Grand Vitara or Toyota RAV4.

States are testing new technologies that jam cell phone signals, detect the phones, and also manage incoming and outgoing calls.
Charles Manson, the infamous criminal ringleader who ordered others to murder on his behalf, was caught last month with a cell phone he kept stashed under his bed at California's Corcoran State Prison. There's no evidence that Manson used the phone for criminal activity, but the incident brought national attention to the growing issue of cell phone use among prisoners.
The nationwide problem has state corrections departments on guard and in search of ways to intercept calls and texts before they're sent, or better yet, prevent phones from being smuggled into the facilities altogether. Prisoners have been caught working with the outside and scheming with other prisoners to gang up and plan synchronized attacks on prison guards. Last month in Georgia, prisoners e-mailed and texted with inmates at other prisons to coordinate a strike to obtain better prison cell conditions.
A new report released last month by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), the FCC and various other federal bureaus investigated three technologies that might be used to control illicit cell phone use. The technologies tested — jamming the signal, managing access to intercept phone transmissions, and implementing detection systems that can pinpoint the location of cell phones — proved successful in preventing incoming and outgoing calls. However, the answer may not be that simple in terms of implementation.
All three types of technologies come with shortcomings, according to the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Furthermore, the cost of implementing such solutions is uncertain and based upon the size and layout of a prison complex, and the facility's geography. Hardware, software and infrastructure for these systems can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, vendors say.
What works for one prison might not be the best choice for another. "For instance, a prison located in a rural setting may opt for a different solution than a prison located in an urban area where there is a greater density of wireless communications devices operating nearby," the report said.
Despite these hurdles, state corrections departments have undertaken pilots of technology that's designed to curb contraband cell phones. Mississippi was among the first states to incorporate a managed access system last year in the state penitentiary, which houses about 3,000 inmates. The system intercepted 643, 388 calls and texts within a four-month span, according to the state's department of corrections.
Managed access, which establishes a network around a prison that detects outgoing and incoming calls and texts, may the most promising of the technologies, according the NTIA report, but it may be difficult and costly to implement in larger prison systems.
In Virginia, the National Institute of Justice has "funded the development of an electronic surveillance system to detect the presence of cell phones within a known structure, for example a prison, and pinpoint the location of the cell phone to within a one to two prison-cell area." This is one example of a detection system for cell phones.
In Maryland, the Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services (MDPSCS) has made a $1.1 million investment in security and enhanced technology, including 24 new body orifice security scanners and what the department claims is the nation's first dog training program for cell phone detection. Within the last year, the department has seen a 32 percent drop in cell phones confiscated, which according to the department, can be attributed to tighter search and seize efforts.
MDPSCS is in the process of figuring out which prevention technologies may be best suited for its needs, Rick Binetti, director of communications for the department, wrote in an e-mail. "Obviously having the ability to use jamming technology would help all prison systems," he wrote.
Maryland legislators have pushed for legalizing jamming in state prisons — currently it's only legal at federal levels. When the signal is jammed in the prisons it often interferes with cell phone signals outside the prison, potentially interfering with 911 calls. Some telecom vendors oppose jamming technology, according to the NTIA, and argue that jamming isn't able to block all cellular communication and would cause unnecessary interference.
"There probably is no one single solution," Binetti wrote. "These efforts coupled with detection or managed access technologies based on a specific environment is what it takes."
Although progress has been made nationwide and solutions are being further studied, officials agree it's unlikely any preventive system will block all cell phone use. In fact, the use of cell phones by prisoners is on the rise, according to the NTIA report. For example, corrections officials in California seized 2,800 cell phones from prisoners in 2008, 10 times more than in 2006.

From NBC's Pete Williams
Handing a legal victory to groups pushing back against illegal immigration, the Supreme Court today upheld an Arizona law that punishes businesses in the state for hiring workers who are in the country illegally.
Federal law against illegal immigration says the states cannot penalize businesses that hire illegal workers "except through licensing."
So in 2007, Arizona passed a controversial law -- signed by then-Gov. Janet Napolitano -- that allows the state to take away the business licenses of employers that intentionally hire illegal workers. Led by the US Chamber of Commerce, several business and civil rights groups challenged the law, saying enforcement of the immigation laws is for the federal government.
The Obama administration also sued Arizona over the law. Congress, the groups said, never meant to give the states such latitude over virtually any license to do business.
But today by a 5-3 vote (with Justice Elena Kagan siting this one out), the Supreme Court upheld the Arizona law.
The state is simply imposing the punishments the federal law allows, the court said. In addition, the court pointed out, before a business can lose its license, it must intentionally and repeatedly hire illegal workers.
"Congress did not intend to preserve only state state laws that have no effect" on illegal immigration, said Chief Justice John Roberts, who wrote today's opinion.
Today's ruling is a green light for other states considering laws that punish employers for hiring illegal workers. Nine states have already done so.
The court has yet to take up the far more controversial Arizona law that requires police to round up anyone they think is in the state illegally. And this ruling does not foreshadow how the Supreme Court will rule on that one, because Congress specifically opened the door to the kind of state regulation upheld today.

Chipping in with some news and notes while subbing for Steve Corkran tonight . . .
— It's looking as if rookie linebacker Miles Burris could find himself the Week 1 starter based on the lack of progress linebacker Aaron Curry is making with his sore knees.
Curry wasn't at practice Friday, heading to Los Angeles for a second opinion, according to coach Dennis Allen. Curry sent out a cryptic tweet Thursday thanking Allen and general manager Reggie McKenzie, causing the cyberspace rumor mill to speculate that perhaps he had retired or been cut.
Not yet.
"He'll go down and we'll let him get basically a second opinion and see if we can't do something to get him better,'' Allen said.
Burris intercepted a Matt Leinart pass Friday.
Given that Curry already underwent stem-cell therapy on his knees, as told to CSN-Bay Area, things aren't headed in the right direction as he remains on the Physically Unable to Perform list.
— Running back Mike Goodson was a practice spectator as he recovers from a neck injury sustained Sunday.
"Right now it's just a little soreness left in my neck, kind of like having a crick in your neck when you wake up in the morning,'' Goodson said. "A little more intense than that, but that's pretty much it.''
— There are no plans to tell the media or even players about how playing time will be parceled out Monday night.
"I think a lot of times when you tell 'em, `Hey you're going to play one quarter, you're going to play 10 snaps, whatever the case may be, there's a little bit of a mental letdown and I don't want that,'' Allen said.
— Backup place kicker Eddy Carmona struck the left upright three times and the right upright once in a span of five kicks, drawing howls from the players on the sideline on the last one.
— Defensive tackle Richard Seymour missed his fourth straight practice, although Allen said he isn't overly concerned because of Seymour's stature and knowledge of his own body. Also out was safety Tyvon Branch with back spasms. He was replaced by Mike Mitchell, who had an interception of a deflected Carson Palmer pass.
Mitchell also got tangled up with tight end Brandon Myers, who left the field with a shoulder injury, then departed with a member of the medical staff for further evavluation. The hamstring triplets (Denarius Moore, Eddie McGee, Taiwan Jones) remained out, as did Jack Crawford (foot). Tackle Zach Hurd left with a blow to the head, and Darrius Heyward-Bey with a sore knee.
Allen seemed most concerned about the Myers situation.
— Mitchell remains pain free and outwardly confident in his own ability, while at the same time believing he has to prove himself to make the team. His reputation for being a little over-enthusiastic has been duly noted by offensive assistants, coordinator Greg Knapp in particular.
Mitchell said Knapp is on him when he gets anywhere near the quarterback, reminding him it's hands off.
Such will not be the case against Dallas Monday night.
"They're going to let the chains off Monday night,'' Mitchell said. "I can't wait because no one is going to be telling me to do this, that and the other. The chains are off and I can just get to go play ball.''
— With Goodson and Jones out, Darren McFadden probably took more snaps than the Raiders would like and as is usually the case in training camp, looked spectacular.
Training camp is made for McFadden. He can't be tackled low because he's the Raiders' meal ticket, and there is no tackling to the ground or drive-through tackles, so basically he can just run everyone over.
Marcel Reece took got some work as running back out of a single back set and so did fullback Rashawn Jackson. The guy who will probably get the bulk of the work is Lonyae Miller, who played four games for the Cowboys in 2010 and spent last year on the Dallas practice squad before being cut and signed to the Raiders' practice squad Dec. 7.
Cornerback Shawntae Spencer continues to really after a difficult start to camp, breaking up a long Palmer pass intended for Jacoby Ford and staying with him stride for stride.
— Philip Wheeler continues to be the most explosive player among the linebackers, knifing into the backfield to stop Miller for a loss.
— Personnel guru Gil Brandt was at the facility taping some interviews for Sirius NFL radio and couldn't help but think about how different the atmosphere was without Al Davis.
"Al was an amazing person. He understood everything and he saw everything. You''d come out here and he'd be out there in his cart, calling a player over give them pointers," Brandt said. `It's strange without him, but time moves on.
Brandt said Allen has an excellent reptuation throughout the league and said "the Saints were sick about it when they lost him to Denver as defensive coordinator. He looks like he's got this team very well organized."
— The Raiders said they would have word Saturday on whether the Monday night game agiansat Dallas would be televised live in the Bay Area or on tape delay. In past years, preseason games have typically been delayed.
The Raiders are back at it Saturday morning at 8:50 a.m.

Right to Buy: buying your council home
Right to Buy allows most council tenants to buy their council home at a discount. Use the eligibility checker on the Right to Buy website to find out if you can apply.
There are different rules for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
You can apply to buy your council home if:
- it's your only or main home
- it's self-contained
- you're a secure tenant
- you've had a public sector landlord (eg a council, housing association or NHS trust) for 3 years - it doesn't have to be 3 years in a row
Joint applications
You can make a joint application with:
- someone who shares your tenancy
- up to 3 family members who've lived with you for the past 12 months (even if they don't share your tenancy)
Ex-council homes
If your home used to be owned by the council, but they sold it to another landlord (like a housing association) while you were living in it, you may have the Right to Buy. This is called 'Preserved Right to Buy'.
Ask your landlord if this applies to you.
Other ways to buy your home
If you weren't living in your home when it was sold by the council you may still be able to buy it through the Voluntary Right to Buy pilot.

Very sweet story of these great siblings who fill your home with love and laughter. Love the names, too! Thanks for sharing your story.ReplyDelete
A family! Kittehs are so precious to have around. They give as much to a household as they take from it, and then some. Our daughter has three kittehs, a girl and two boys. The girl (Bean) is older (19), black, and dominates the boys (Pip and Thumbs). She is small, but they are huge and have so much fur they look like lions--one golden,one black and white. She doesn't let them get away with anything.ReplyDelete
I love the story of how these kittehs came to you, as dramatic as they stories of babies being born. You were obviously "fated" to have them -- for heavens sake, they asked you to take them home. A great solution for everyone. It just grows the amount of love and entertainment in the family.
Laura, great feature! Quick question for your . . . I'm noticing that you are publishing via Scribd more and more. rather than publishing directly to your blog. Why have you chosen this method?ReplyDelete
Celia and Mariann - I'm glad that you enjoyed their story! They are (and will continue be) an incredible addition to our family.ReplyDelete
Liv - Thank you! I started using Scribe because I received some complaints that the way I was formatting the blog (light letters on the dark background) was nearly impossible to read in Google Reader. I haven't had any negative feedback on the change so I have continued to present it this way. What do you think?

Become a Cop >> Browse Articles >> So You Wanna Be a Cop...
Part 2 - Starting the Process
Deputy Bob Cooley
First, do yourself a favor start a "background investigation" on yourself. Go to your local motor vehicle administration and obtain a copy of your driving transcript. Hopefully you won't have any serious violations such as reckless driving, DUI/DWI because violations such as these may have an adverse affect. Look over the record carefully for any incorrect information and if you find anything bring it to the attention of the motor vehicle administration personnel for correction.
Second, send for a credit report from one of the three credit reporting agencies such as Equifax and look at your credit report. Some credit reporting agencies may have included incorrect information on your credit report that could have an impact on your application. I had an experience many years ago where someone with relatively similar personal information as mine had a loan showing up on my credit report. Fortunately the person was paying their loan according to terms, but if it had been delinquent it could have been a problem. It took me almost six months to convince the credit-reporting agency that this loan was not mine.
Third, go to your local and state law enforcement agencies and department of motor vehicle office ask for a criminal history/driving record check for the very same reasons I've outlined above. I think you would be surprised how many people come into the courts every month mostly for an incorrect driving transcript because a family member, friend or even a complete stranger has used someone else's identity and gotten himself or herself into trouble and now you unwittingly have a criminal history or bad driving record.
Fourth, contact your high school and/or college to obtain copies of your school transcripts and diplomas. This may sound easy, but in many cases it will take some time depending on how long you've been out of school to receive your transcripts. You may want to check to find out if you can have the copies notarized in the event the agency your applying to requires it. Same goes for any vocational or trade schools you may have attended either before during or after high school or college. Believe me having your transcripts handy will help to speed things along. This also applies to the military because they may ask you for a copy of your discharge papers or other information about your military service they might feel is important.
Fifth, find the copy of your birth certificate and if it's lost or misplaced you need to obtain one from the registrar of births whether it be from the hospital you were born in or the local or state government agency for your area. Post 9/11 has made this a critical piece of documentation and I actually keep mine in a safety deposit box along with my draft card!

Hi all,
I have a lone gosling who hatched yesterday, I only had 2 eggs in the incubator but we have a broody goose who's eggs should have hatched midweek and I thought if I only get one I can sneak him in with the broody as we have always found our geese more than happy to take any gosling offered, normally so enthusiastically that I put a box of goslings down and make a hasty retreat!
Now the goose won't take him, she keeps hissing if he tries to get under her, and is on and off the eggs today and about to give up I think. All our other goslings are 5 weeks old, outside and too big to put this one with so I am looking for some goslings or ducklings less than a week old to keep this one company.
Any one have anything available? We are near Carmarthen.
It's currently keeping warm in the house with a soft toy to snuggle up to.
Help! Need day old goslings/ ducklings

Who said what after qualifying for the Indian Grand Prix
Read what the drivers and teams had to say after qualifying for the Indian Grand Prix
- Race:
- Indian Grand Prix
Charles Pic - 21st
"We started FP3 with the usual first run on the prime tyre and after the changes we made overnight I was much happier with the car. The front grip was a lot better and the car was now constant through the high speed sections - basically behaving more normally. We did still have some work to do improve entry stability on turn-in and on mid-exit, but overall it was a good step from Friday. The final time on the softs, on the second run, showed the progress we'd made overnight and even though the session was delayed at the start, it was still a good session.
"In quali the track had a bit more grip but on the first run I couldn't fully exploit that so we took a bit of front wing out and went for one quick lap on the second run. Unfortunately I was stuck between a couple of cars on that lap and couldn't find the space to put in the time we know is in the car, so ended up 21st."
Giedo van der Garde - 20th
"I was really happy with how the car had performed yesterday and it wasn't too much different at the start of FP3. I did have a bit of understeer in turns 10 and 11 so we added a bit more front wing to help with that, but overall it was still OK. On the performance run I was having issues with the front tyre warm up and a bit of understeer in the middle sector, so we made a couple more changes for quali to deal with that.
"We went for two runs on the options in quali and my first run was ok but there was definitely time to find, particularly in the middle sector. We had planned to go for two quick laps but it was clear we could find the time with just one so we went for it and my lap was pretty close to getting as much as I could from the car. The tyres weren't quite working at full performance in sector one, so maybe there was a tenth or two there, but sectors two and three were close to the maximum. Tomorrow we know we have the race pace to pull away from our nearest rivals, so we'll see how it works out."
FerrariFernando Alonso - 8th
"Before qualifying we looked at what might be the best strategy and it was very difficult to choose between two possibilities of equal worth. Using the Soft tyres in Q3, we could have aspired to a better starting position, while the Mediums would mean running a race with no traffic, because if the softer compound follows the pattern we have seen so far, then those starting with it will have to stop very early, around lap six. This would put them behind a group of cars that will stay out until lap 30. It's true that at some point, I too will have to fit the Softs, which will signal a more difficult moment and we must be prepared for that. On Friday, I did fifteen or sixteen laps on them, while today just three and that's why it's absolutely impossible to say how it will go tomorrow. Only after the chequered flag will we know which was the right choice. The good thing about this decision is that, in putting two cars in the race on different strategies, at least one of us, me or Felipe, should be in a position to help the team in its goal of finishing second in the Constructors' World Championship, which is our priority now".
Felipe Massa - 5th
"I'm reasonably pleased with this qualifying, even if I didn't manage to put together a perfect lap. Unfortunately, I lost time in the second sector and maybe this cost me one or two positions, but we are in the ballpark and we will do our best. Unlike my team-mate and some others, I chose to qualify on the Soft tyres, because at the Nurburgring, I had made a choice that didn't pay off. It will be interesting to find out who has made the best choice and the answer to that could come after the first stint. A lot will depend on the behaviour of the tyres: even if today, the Medium seemed undoubtedly the longer lasting, the evolution of the track and its consequent improvement in terms of grip could limit the degradation on the Softs. Tomorrow won't be easy, because with cars on different strategies, anything can happen. I will try to pass Webber at the start, hoping to profit from the fact he is on Medium tyres. I hope I've taken the right decision which will allow me to have a strong race".
Pat Fry, engineering director
"Tyre performance continues to be a key factor here in India, in free practice and qualifying, where it dictated strategy choices for the whole grid. Tomorrow's race will definitely be determined by car performance, based on what the tyre choices are for the start. We went for two different scenarios, even if the pace they can produce on the softer tyres will be decisive for both drivers, at first for Felipe and then at some point in the race for Fernando. This weekend we have heard a lot of talk about graining and blistering, two phenomena that have a negative effect on tyre performance and they could become two key factors in tomorrow's race. Consequently those who will start on the Softs could have to pit earlier than planned for their first stop. However, those that start on the Medium will be favourite, even if later on they will have to work out the best moment to fit the soft compound. The race looks like being particularly compelling in terms of strategy and, making the difference as usual, will be how competitive the cars are, their reliability and the efficiency of the work in the pits".
Force India
Paul di Resta - 12th
"I think we can be satisfied with the job we've done today. My lap in Q2 was very good, although I made a small mistake in the second to last corner, so I was maybe a couple of tenths away from the perfect lap. It definitely feels like we've made some progress recently and my confidence is growing with the way the car is working at the moment. Going into our home race we are only a couple of places away from points, so we're in the mix and if we can deliver the right strategy we should be able to come away with something."
Adrian Sutil - 13th
"P13 is more or less the position I expected today. The balance was not perfect for my last run and I was suffering with some understeer, so maybe I could have been a couple of tenths quicker. As a team we are P12 and P13 so I think we're still in with a good chance of scoring points. The strategy options are quite limited because the medium tyre is a very good race tyre, more so than the soft. It's our home race and I really enjoy this track so I hope we can put on a good show tomorrow in front of the Indian fans."
Vijay Mallya, team principal
"The indications from yesterday's practice sessions suggested that we were looking slightly more competitive than in previous races, and I think our performance today confirms that. The times in final practice showed the progress made overnight and it's encouraging to hear that the drivers are feeling more confident with the car, which is what we've been missing recently. Both drivers felt that there was a little bit more performance in the car, but I don't think it would have changed our overall grid positions. We will approach tomorrow's race with points being the clear goal. It's something we have achieved for the past couple of years and I'm optimistic that we will have the race pace to take the fight to the cars around us and deliver some points in our home race."
LotusKimi Raikkonen - 6th
"It wasn't an ideal qualifying session and I'm still having some problems with understeer, but the car did feel better overall than yesterday. The tyres have to be managed over a full lap for qualifying so we are where we are on the grid. We'll see what happens tomorrow and I'll try to do as well as I can. Overall, the car feels slightly better than in the last few races; still not where we want it to be, but slightly better."
Romain Grosjean - 17th
"We took a gamble once again to try just one run on the prime tyres in Q1, and although it's been a successful tactic for us recently it didn't pay off this time. The times were much tighter than expected and ultimately we made a miscalculation with the cut-off time. It's easy to look back and think what might have been, but we made the decision together and unfortunately in the end it was the wrong one. It's tough to overtake here so it's going to be a long race from seventeenth on the grid. We'll have to pull off something quite special with the strategy to take anything from there, but of course we'll analyse the options overnight to see what's possible. For sure we won't be leading after the first corner this time, but we'll do our best."
Alan Permane, trackside operations director
"How was qualifying for the team? In hindsight we made the wrong call with Romain. We expected him to progress quite comfortably through Q1 on the medium tyre and unfortunately this wasn't the case. Clearly, he's starting a long way out of position and will need a strong charge through the field to make it into the top ten, but we're extremely confident that he'll be able to do so. How far into the points he can progress will depend on the start and our management of the tyres. It was a reasonably straightforward session for Kimi with no real dramas. He'll be the first to admit that qualifying hasn't been going to plan for him recently, and he's about where we expected him to be after free practice this morning. As always we're confident that his race pace will be exemplary, so we're anticipating a very strong race from him starting from sixth on the grid."
Jules Bianchi - 19th
"This morning I was not so happy with the car balance but we seem to be on top of it again and my qualifying was good. We have been very close with Caterham all weekend but I am pleased to finish ahead of them today. I think we look set for an interesting race tomorrow, so it is difficult to make any predictions, but obviously I would like to hold my starting position relative to them and maybe some opportunities may arise as well."
Max Chilton - 22nd
"It has been a difficult weekend with the car balance and at a circuit where you really need to be on top of that to push with confidence. This morning I was a little happier but in qualifying it didn't work out as well. Having been closer to the group on my first run, I wasn't able to improve enough on my second. I'm a little more confident in my race pace, so we will work hard overnight to see what we can do to optimise that."
John Booth, team principal
"FP3 didn't go quite as well as we had expected and some of the changes that we had made overnight following FP2 did not seem so positive. With the shortened final practice session we had to concentrate on collecting enough data and giving the drivers a good feel for the car, rather than making lots of changes during the session. With Jules we made did make some reasonable changes going into qualifying, as he was the least happy of the two drivers, and these do seem to have worked out well for him. After his first run Max was happy with his car, however he wasn't able to achieve the improvement anticipated from his second run. Jules expected a big challenge from van der Garde today, but in the end he came out on top. It is good to be starting the race ahead of the Caterhams but I'm sure up and down the field we are expecting an interesting time of it tomorrow."
McLarenJenson Button - 10th
"Running the Prime in Q3 was probably the best strategy call for the race. Of course, that hurt, because my heart was telling me that I ought to be out there [in Q3] on the Option. Our qualifying runs on the Option looked really good - I was quickest in Q1 - but the Prime tyre didn't work as well for us. I found it more difficult because I couldn't get any temperature into the tyre, so I was about half a second off in the first sector on my run in Q3. Still, running the Prime was probably the right thing to do, and I'm sure it's the best tyre for tomorrow. I'm looking forward to an exciting, eventful and unpredictable race."
Sergio Perez - 9th
"Ninth was probably the best we could have achieved this afternoon. It was always going to be difficult to beat Fernando [Alonso], but I might have been able to achieve it if I'd done one more lap on the Prime. But we need to look after the tyres for tomorrow, so that wouldn't have been the right thing to do. Clearly, we're on a different strategy to most of the other cars, so it'll be very interesting to see what we can do on the Prime tomorrow. There are four other cars inside the top 10 starting on the Prime, so we'll be looking to take the advantage if the Option-runners pit during the early laps tomorrow. I think we have a good chance in the race. Our long-run pace looks pretty strong - so, with a good strategy, I think we can do well tomorrow."
Martin Whitmarsh, team principal
"Qualifying today was clearly dominated by the teams' tyre considerations for the race tomorrow. It's always tempting to take a short-term view - if we'd gone for the Option tyre in Q3, we could potentially have been halfway up the top 10 - but I don't think we'd be headed into tomorrow's race feeling comfortable had we done that. Fundamentally, it was about doing the best thing for the race tomorrow. And, if the experience of the last few days is borne out tomorrow, then we're probably happy that we're not starting the race on the Option. For tomorrow, we've very much focused on putting ourselves in the best possible position for the race. We've got two very good racers, both of whom have shown impressive flashes of speed this weekend, so I think we're looking at a competitive showing tomorrow."
MercedesLewis Hamilton - 3rd
"I'm pleased with third place today as it's been a tough weekend to get the car set up and squeeze as much performance as possible from it. The team have done a great job to make progress since Friday and I'm delighted for everyone to see both Nico and I in the top three today. It was a good lap although I lost maybe a little bit of time at the last corner. Of course, tomorrow is what counts and the race will be difficult with the different strategies and tyre choices. We'll hope for a good start, get rid of the softs early and then focus on pushing as hard as we can on the primes."
Nico Rosberg - 2nd
"We have tried a lot of different things in the practice sessions this weekend to try and find an extra one or two tenths and I found a good set-up with my guys so I'm happy with our work so far. I just wanted to qualify 'best of the rest' today so I'm really happy with second place and starting on the front row. The race will be tough against Mark tomorrow, though, as he has the quicker car and is on a different strategy, but we'll give it our all. For our team, the most important thing is to score as many points as possible so we can secure second place in the Constructors' Championship at the end of the year."
Ross Brawn, team principal
"That was as good a qualifying session as we could have hoped for. It built to a nice crescendo in Q3 and we made the right moves, managed things well and put in our best laps at just the right time having saved a new set of option tyres for the end of Q3. Obviously, we are committed to starting on the option tyre with both cars but we have them in good positions and can be pleased with that achievement this afternoon. It's been a pretty tough weekend getting the car set-up right so far and the engineers and drivers have together done a thoroughly good job. Now we need to finish that job with a strong race tomorrow."
Toto Wolff, executive director
"Second place with Nico and third with Lewis are satisfying positions after a pretty challenging weekend so far. It's fair to say that we probably wouldn't have been quite so high up the grid if everybody had run the option tyre in Q3, but equally we would not have been far off. The engineering team has done a good job to dial the car into the circuit, which continued to ramp up strongly during the qualifying session. The mix of strategies in the top ten will make for an interesting race tomorrow which could only unfold at the very end."
Red BullSebastian Vettel - 1st
"The car felt good all weekend and it just got better as the track improved. The car was amazing; it's a great circuit, I really like the flow of it, especially around the middle sector with the high speed corners. If the car behaves the way you want it to through that section then you're always then going to enjoy it, as we did today. It's a great result for the team; Mark is on a different strategy, so we'll see what the race brings tomorrow. We have been getting a lot of questions about the Championship this weekend, but we'll keep doing what we've done in the past, just focusing on every single step - we won't change that for tomorrow, or the next couple of races. We've worked hard to get here and tomorrow is a long race. With the strategy, I think it's always tricky do the right thing, but we have a good package so we should be in good shape."
Mark Webber - 4th
"We thought it was worth trying something a little bit different with the strategy today, so that's why we ran the primes in Q3. We thought we would probably be a bit further back than the second row to be honest, so it turned out to be a good session for us. It's not easy to manage the primes when you just get a look at them in Q3, but I think we did a good job and we didn't leave too much out there. We're in a good position to capitalise on a different approach tomorrow. The option tyre (used by the first three cars) shouldn't last too long and we'll be on a different strategy. That said, I'll still have to use the softer tyre in the race at some point, so let's see."
Christian Horner, team principal
"A great team performance. We took a strategic approach to final qualifying with the two cars running on different tyre compounds. It was a fantastic first lap by Sebastian to secure the pole position, his third in succession here. Mark backed that up with fourth and, as the first of the hard tyre runners, he's in a very strong position. It's a terrific result for both cars for tomorrow's race, where they'll be effectively running different strategies; it should be a fascinating grand prix."
SauberNico Hulkenberg - 7th
"Overall it was quite a good qualifying. P7 is a good position for tomorrow, and I expect a close battle with the McLarens. They chose a different approach by qualifying on the hard tyre, we qualified on the soft, so it will be interesting to see who comes out on top. In the race we have to see how we get on with the soft tyres, as they didn't look too good in free practice yesterday. Since then we have improved the car, so they should last a bit longer. The long runs on the medium tyre looked good."
Esteban Gutierrez - 16th
"Today, I think, we had good pace and managed to fix the issues we had yesterday. However, I struggled to feel comfortable with the track. It's very slippery. Overall, it has been a complicated weekend, but we managed a good Q1. The car was handling really well and we were in a good shape for Q2. Then went over the kerb and the hit was quite hard, that distracted me quite a bit. My neck started to hurt a lot and now I have to take care of that to be ready for the race tomorrow."
Monisha Kaltenborn, team principal
"We knew that qualifying wouldn't be easy. Once more, Nico put in a flawless performance and will start from P7 in the race tomorrow. Esteban has been struggling to feel comfortable with the track the whole weekend, but managed to get a good time in Q1. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to match that in Q2 and will now try to drive a flawless race tomorrow. The aim for Nico is to get as many points as possible."
Tom McCullough, head of track engineering
"The overnight changes we had made to the car gave a much better balance in FP3 on both the medium and, more importantly, the option tyre for Nico. Esteban had a difficult FP3 in the morning, not being able to get a clear lap on the option tyre. After a strong qualifying one he was not able to replicate the time in qualifying two. With Nico getting into qualifying three again, starting seventh, the strategy we have chosen and our race pace, our aim is to score points again."
Toro RossoJean-Eric Vergne - 14th
"I can be reasonably pleased with my fastest lap, as it was pretty clean, even if I lost a little bit of time on a kerb, but nothing too serious. It's very close in our part of the field and we did a good job overnight and this morning to improve the car and there's only a few tenths between a whole group of us. I think tomorrow in the race, with the Option tyre not lasting very long, there are plenty of choices we can make relating to strategy and I feel confident we can fight for a points position finish."
Daniel Ricciardo - 11th
"Honestly, when I crossed the line, my engineer came on the radio and told me I was currently P9 and I thought this could be good, but a few corners later I had dropped to P11. So I was a bit disappointed, even if I think I probably got the most out of it. We had a pretty intense morning, after I went off and damaged the car on Friday, which meant I didn't do a long run. So we tried to do that today and as a result, we had to neglect our short run work a little bit. All the same, we did a good job in qualifying and being eleventh, I get a free tyre choice for the start, although I know some of the top ten opted to do their final runs on the Prime."
Laurent Mekies, head of vehicle performance
"A super-tight qualifying, after it was already clear from yesterday that you had ten cars virtually tied together on lap time. We have ended up P11 with Daniel, half a tenth from making it into Q3. It is very close and both our drivers did a good job this afternoon, as Jev is only a couple of tenths down on his team-mate, but three places behind him. I think we have recovered some pace today and are genuine contenders in that very big mid-field. We will have a very tough fight tomorrow, as you can expect if you have ten cars within three tenths. We worked on our race pace this morning with Daniel, as we were unable to do so on Friday and here too, we feel we have made progress. We can look forward to an exciting race tomorrow."
WilliamsPastor Maldonado - 18th
"I was faced with traffic twice on my first run in Q1 on the soft tyres, once in the first corner and also again in Turn 10, which compromised my qualifying as you only really have one chance to get a clean lap on the soft tyres because the degradation is so high. I am usually able to recover some positions in the race and the car is more competitive on long runs so I'm confident we can move forward tomorrow."
Valtteri Bottas - 15th
"It was very tight out there today. In Q1 we managed to make the most of the car and the balance felt pretty good. In Q2 we were compromised a bit on our final run as there was a big queue of cars on the out-lap and the tyre temperatures were a little low at the beginning of my flying lap which cost me some time. We could have gone a bit faster, but having said that, the cars in front of us still have better raw pace so this qualifying result is a fair reflection of where we are this weekend. We will be working hard tonight to make further improvements to the set-up so that we can challenge for a better position in the race."
Xevi Pujolar, chief race engineer
"We had to change our run plan in FP3 as the session was delayed and shortened due to poor visibility, but the car balance was improving on both tyres in line with the track conditions. We knew it would be extremely tight in qualifying with getting the tyres in the correct temperature window critical to getting a good lap. Unfortunately Pastor was hampered by traffic on his first lap in Q1 and didn't have enough time to cool the tyres down ahead of his second flying lap which compromised his time and left him 18th. It worked well for Valtteri in Q1 as he had good track position for his second lap on option tyres and made it through into Q2. In Q2 he came across traffic in sector 3 on his out-lap so the tyres weren't up to temperature for the start of his flying lap and he qualified 15th. The soft option tyre is especially sensitive to blistering and graining with the medium being more robust. So we expect to see a number of strategies in the race with team's opting to run the soft tyres at different stages of the race, which will open up more opportunities to gain positions."

Jaso's triple ignites A's comeback vs. Angels
PHOENIX -- Mike Trout collected three hits and Vernon Wells had three RBIs for the Angels on Monday, but it was the A's who rallied to claim a 13-5 victory at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Oakland was held hitless through the first 3 1/3 innings before scoring seven times by the end of the sixth.View Full Game Coverage
PHOENIX -- Mike Trout collected three hits and Vernon Wells had three RBIs for the Angels on Monday, but it was the A's who rallied to claim a 13-5 victory at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Oakland was held hitless through the first 3 1/3 innings before scoring seven times by the end of the sixth.View Full Game Coverage
Catcher John Jaso's three-run triple in the fourth wiped away a 2-0 Angels lead, and after Los Angeles roared back in the fifth on Wells' three-run homer off Ryan Cook, the A's responded with just as many runs in the bottom of the inning, courtesy of RBI hits from Josh Reddick and Brandon Moss.
Trout led off the game with a double off A's righty Dan Straily and came around to score on Howie Kendrick's base hit. Trout also collected singles in the second and fifth innings to raise his spring average to .417.
It was another leadoff double in the second, this time off the bat of Andrew Romine, that helped the Angels get on the board once again, after Romine moved to third on a groundout and scored on Scott Cousins' sacrifice fly.
Straily lasted 2 1/3 innings in his second start of the spring, giving up two runs on four hits with no walks and two strikeouts. The right-hander, who has surrendered four runs and six hits spanning 3 2/3 innings of Cactus League play, was pleased with the progress he made on inside fastballs to left-handers on Monday.
"That's kind of what [pitching coach] Curt Young and I were talking about before the game, so I can say I got a little bit better today," said Straily, who has allowed four runs and six hits this spring. "It wasn't the greatest outing, but I was working on stuff, trying to get better."
"I thought he pitched better than the numbers show," manager Bob Melvin said. "He hung a couple of pitches, maybe a couple of two-strike breaking balls he threw that got a little more plate and were up a bit, but I thought, overall, his stuff was good."
Angels starter Jason Vargas, meanwhile, was nearly perfect in his two innings on the mound, walking one with one strikeout in his debut for the Angels, who acquired his services from the Mariners in exchange for Kendrys Morales on Dec. 19.
"I mainly threw fastballs, and for the most part they were strikes," said Vargas. "I threw a couple decent changeups, but other than that I was just trying to pound the strike zone with fastballs."
The A's sent 10 men to the plate in the eighth, scoring six runs largely off the struggles of Chad Cordero, who allowed five hits in two-thirds of an inning.
Up next: The A's will engage in their first split-squad action of the spring on Tuesday. Bartolo Colon will lead one group against the Royals in Surprise, while a Brett Anderson-led contingent will remain at Phoenix Municipal Stadium to host Team Italy.

Barbara Twiggs, of Mt. Airy, thought she just had a bad case of acid reflux and was tired. For eight nights she slept upright in a lounge chair. Twiggs, who worked in medical billing at the time, hated to go to the doctor.
One of her pet peeves was people who used the emergency room as their doctor's office. Twiggs said she hated to go to the emergency room and was raised with the idea that you didn't go to the doctor unless you were really sick.
"My friends were telling me I should go to the doctor and get it checked out," Twiggs said.
She figured she would get around to it when she had time.
"I remember thinking, 'Lord if I really need to go to the hospital about this let me know,'" Twiggs said.
And God did just that while she was washing dishes and talking to a friend on the phone on Sunday, Dec. 1, 2012.
"It felt like a herd of 20 elephants all walked up and decided they were going to sit on my chest," Twiggs said. "It was this unbearable pressure. I asked for a sign and I got one. I finished washing the dishes, took a shower, ironed my clothes, got dressed and went to the ER."
She said they gave her an EKG and everything came back normal. Dr. Ray Rodriguez, a cardiologist, examined her. Rodriguez, who lives in Wyncote and has a practice in Chestnut Hill, said although her tests came back normal, he wanted to admit her.
Twiggs said he wanted to rule out everything concerning the heart.
"What was really amazing about it was all my tests were coming back normal," Twiggs said. "Dr. Rodriguez said while nothing was jumping out at him he just didn't feel comfortable sending me home."
Rodriguez decided to give her a stress test. She said prior to the stress test, they had to take an ultrasound.
"I was crying profusely when they gave me the ultrasound because every time I laid down there was this tremendous pressure," Twiggs said.
She added that the technicians called the doctor because they were nervous about giving her the stress test.
"We can't do anything until this test is completed," Rodriguez said.
"I remember the tech pushing my back to keep me on a certain level on the treadmill," Twiggs said. "I was crying so bad I couldn't talk. It was awful."
She said the doctor said he couldn't find anything really wrong but he wanted to do an angiogram just to be safe.
Twiggs was transported to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center. Later, the test results showed that she had a blocked artery in two places in her heart.
"After the procedure, I followed up with Dr. Rodriguez and that's when I found out I had a heart attack," Twiggs said.
Twiggs had a 60 percent blockage in one area and a 90 percent blockage in another area. She said if it wasn't for Dr. Rodriguez and the quality of care she received at Chestnut Hill Hospital and Penn Presbyterian Medical Center she might be dead.
"It [Chestnut Hill Hospital] may be a local community hospital; however. behind those doors house some of the brightest doctors in their field," Twiggs said. "We are fortunate to be so close to such knowledge and expertise."
The heart truth
Thanks to Hollywood, the typical image of someone having a heart attack is a middle-aged man clutching his chest. In the past, heart disease was considered "a man's disease." But the "heart truth" is that one in four women dies from heart disease.
Coronary heart disease is a common term for the buildup of plaque in the heart's arteries that could lead to heart attack.
Rodriguez said about 50 percent of women having a heart attack will have the same symptoms as men. But most heart attacks start slowly, with mild pain or discomfort. Often people affected aren't sure what's wrong and wait too long before getting help. Here are some signs that can mean a heart attack is happening:
• Chest discomfort. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts more than a few minutes, or that goes away and comes back. It can feel like uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain.
• Discomfort in other areas of the upper body. Symptoms can include pain or discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
• Shortness of breath with or without chest discomfort.
• Other signs may include breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or lightheadedness.
"Symptoms of a heart attack in women are different than what has initially been taught," Rodriguez said. "More than half of women having a heart attack present with a shortness of breath and extreme fatigue. Many women don't even say it's a pain – just a funny feeling or discomfort in the chest. The symptoms of a heart attack are not always obvious."
Rodriguez noted that, thanks to an increase in public awareness of heart disease and prevention programs, there has been a one-third reduction in the number of heart attacks over the last 20 years. He added that, unfortunately, women who are admitted to the hospital with a heart attack have a higher chance of dying than their male counterpart. The reason he said is that women tend to have a heart attack at an older age than men and women usually wait longer before seeking medical treatment.
Be proactive
"Heart disease can start as early as in the teens," Rodriguez said. "It's a gradual buildup of plaque over years and years. It's not until it gets really bad that you start to have symptoms. You need a blockage of at least 50 percent before you start to feel anything. Which means there are lots of us walking around with 30 to 40 percent blockages."
Rodriguez said the problem is people wait till they have symptoms of a heart attack before they begin to think seriously about heart disease.
"The analogy I give to my patients is – if you have a smoke detector in your house and you're waiting for the smoke detector to go off to tell you there is a fire, and if your smoke detector is not that good, half the house can be burning down before it goes off," Rodriguez said. "So, the kicker is to do the inspection of the house beforehand and look for signs of potential problems before the smoke detector goes off – because then it's already too late."
Rodriguez said the good news is you can slow down the progress of heart disease. He said the American Heart Association has a campaign called Know Your Numbers.
"Basically, it's trying to educate patients to know four things: blood sugar, blood pressure, blood cholesterol and body weight," Rodriguez said. "Knowing your numbers and not smoking are the two biggest things people can do to try and minimize their chances of developing a heart problem.
"There is a fountain of youth and it's becoming fit," Rodriguez said.
He said studies have shown that people who did aerobic exercise for 10 to 20 minutes a day could add 7 years to their life. Rodriguez added that most adults should get about 30 minutes of exercise five days a week.
"Unfortunately, only about 5 percent of adults are able to reach those guidelines," Rodriguez said.
He said many of his patients don't know how to get into shape.
"The biggest error people make is that they start out too vigorously and hurt themselves," he said.
Rodriguez, an avid runner, hopes to run a fitness and exercise program this spring with Jackie Yorko, director at the Center on the Hill.
He said research has shown there are many benefits to exercise.
"Things as simple as walking can help lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, delay the onset of dementia, and one of the benefits of exercise for women is that it helps minimize the onset of osteoporosis.
"When you think about it, exercise does everything you have in a pill, and it's free," Rodriguez said. "So, like the Nike commercial says, just do it."


text: Drought Cause and Effect March 8, 2013 08:33 PM Tweet Drought conditions in 2012 expedited the growth of soybean plants, resulting in fewer seed pods and larger seeds for the 2013 season. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Nate Birt Top Producer Managing Editor Email Early drought can produce bigger soybean seeds, which impacts planter prep The effects of the historical drought of 2012 continue to cause issues for farmers. "Soybean seeds are bigger than normal this year because drought conditions sped up the growth of soybean plants," says Shawn Conley, University of Wisconsin soybean Extension specialist. "The plants stopped producing seed pods about two weeks early, and rains in late July and late August helped expand existing seeds." "Compared with last year, soybean seed sizes that will be planted in 2013 are definitely larger than average," says Tony White, soybean systems product development manager for Monsanto Company. "However, seed size can vary depending on seed product and the specific environment it was grown in. Monsanto seed brands, including Asgrow, are faced with seed size differences every year, with this season being no exception." For most planters, minimal adjustments will be needed Planter provisions. There are logistical implications, such as planter performance, for larger seed sizes, Conley notes. Farmers can prepare by reviewing the tote tag, which should include the seed size, measured in seeds per pound. Seeds normally sold in 50-unit totes might only contain 40 units this year, Conley says. So growers might need 20% more warehouse capacity to store seeds to plant the desired stand. Virgil Schmitt, Iowa State University field agronomist, says it's common for 2,500 to 2,700 seeds per pound to result in a 47-lb. bag. But this year, he believes farmers might only get 2,000 seeds to the pound, bulking bags to 70 lb. Before you head to the field, make sure your planter can handle larger seeds. Talk with your equipment dealers as soon as possible, Conley advises, to allow prep time before the planting window. DuPont Pioneer is working with planter manufacturers Kinze, AGCO White, John Deere and Case IH to identify best practices for handling larger seeds, says Jeff Daniels, seed technology manager for the company's production operations division. One in four farmers might use larger-than-normal seed this year, he predicts. For most planters, minimal adjustments will be needed. Vacuum pressures might need to be slightly higher than normal for accurate planting, Daniels says. Planter lubricants can also help improve the flow of seeds through the machine. "Graphite or talc can be used regardless of seed size to help consistently release seed from disks or planting mechanisms," White said. Other adjustments might be needed for specific planters. Farmers who use Kinze's Brush-Type Seed Meters, for example, might need to use a dark blue 48-cell plate instead of the traditional black 60-cell plate, Daniels notes. Those with Case IH seed meters might find a 80- or 100-cell disk will place seeds more accurately than a 130-cell disk. Producers should also expect to stop more often to fill up during planting, Conley says. Make sure seed delivery to the field is timely. Check the germ. Lastly, check the percent germination of purchased seed, and adjust planters accordingly, Conley says. Because of the rapid seed drydown this past fall, some elite seed might have reduced germ. Soybean seeds might be sold at an 85% rate this year. While it's not a big deal, Conley says, growers are reducing seeding rates each year to compensate for increased seed cost. As a result, they're quickly approaching stand levels where yield loss might occur. Farmers should also know there's no evidence suggesting bigger soybean seeds result in better emergence, Schmitt says. The quantity of seed planted, genetics and other factors matter. Above all, follow good agronomic practices. "Stay with what works because if you get that population too low and we do end up with good growing conditions, you're limiting yourself," he says.

I've just missed a deadline. Yesterday was the last day for entries for Hay Hay it's Donna Day, hosted this month by Laura of Eat Drink Live. Between work and the weekend it sneakily slipped by me (naughty, naughty) without my noticing. That doesn't mean I hadn't planned to make something to fall under Laura's refreshing theme for this round – sorbets.
The only hitch was the small (tiny really) fact that I don't own an ice cream maker.
Sigh…my longing for an ice cream maker has grown from an easily ignorable little itch, to a full-on, sirens-blazing pandemic. It's getting harder and harder to breeze by the KitchenAid ice cream maker attachment unaffected. To add fuel to the already towering inferno, C-who-doesn't-really-eat-sweets declares, "Of course I'll eat ice cream…"
But I've also got my eye on a Dutch oven and methinks it'll have to be one or the other…
So unless Santa comes to town early I will have to stick to something a tad easier…a granita. Now what exactly is the difference between a granita and a sorbet. I checked here and here, and I think the main difference is the texture: a granita being more crystal-y and a sorbet being creamier. The sorbets also seem to lean more towards fruity. I would have loved to make some kind of tropical mango or coconut sorbet (buko sherbet…mmm!), but the weather has been so strange lately — hot and sticky one minute, then rainy and wet the next – that I was in no mood for a sunny tropical treat. I opted instead for something icy and strong…and easier to make without gadgets: an Espresso Granita.
I found this recipe in my copy of Entertaining by Donna Hay…so I'm still keeping with the spirit, if not with the deadline. I did try to make this like a sorbet and whip the coffee mixture in a metal bowl at intervals between freezings, as opposed to scraping with a fork in a pan. I think the composition is too different from a sorbet though, so it still ended up granita-ish more than sorbet-esque.
Espresso Granita
(adapted from Entertaining by Donna Hay – I halved the recipe)
- 1 ½ cups hot water
- ½ cup caster sugar
- 1 cup freshly brewed strong espresso
– Place the water, sugar, and coffee in a saucepan over low heat and stir until sugar dissolves. Bring to a boil and allow to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
– Pour into a metal bowl and let cool. Cover and place in the freezer for 3 hours or until half-frozen and icy. Beat well with a wire whisk to break up the ice crystals. Return to freezer.
– Remove from freezer after 1-2 hours and beat again. Do this about 2 to 3 more times.
This is oh-so-very the thing to have on a hot afternoon! The coffee flavor was too strong for C but just right for me. I would love to serve this after a long and heavy Sunday lunch as a light cap. Or even after a quickly thrown together weekday dinner with friends. It's light on the tummy, strong on the coffee (well, depends how strong your brew is), and cool on the palate – a perfect way to end a meal with finesse! Or to keep cool on a day when you can't make heads or tails of the weather…

no hollow promise that life would reward you
These things are true, and it's what I struggle with most as a public defender. You don't have to like me, or what I do. But I want respect, and acknowledgment. I'm struggling with one particular case right now where the entire courtroom is so far against my client that my voice is like a dog whistle. The court reporter is typing my words but no one hears them or pays them any mind. The entire case is riddled with reversible error, as every single one of my meritable claims has been just flagrantly dismissed without consideration. I am one ignored word away from being held in contempt or filing a flurry of, I don't even know. Writs of mandamus? I am a smart, personable attorney. I work hard to be good at what I do, and I will advocate vigorously for my clients, to the boundaries of the law. Is it so hard to acknowledge that I have a place in this courtroom? That I have a voice? That I submit and argue well-thought-out legal arguments? You must ignore me because I'm right and you don't want me to be. Otherwise, you're just being an ass.
I feel that the practice in my jurisdiction is completely disgraceful. I am dismayed by how few judges I have any respect for. I am angered by how unprofessional and unethically uncivil the prosecutors in my jurisdiction are. I am not asking to win every case, I'm not asking that you tell me I'm pretty every day. All I ask is that you listen when I speak, that you respond thoughtfully while demonstrating a grasp of basic legal principles, and conduct yourself in a professional manner. I do the same for you.
I love being a public defender but I hate what that is on an hour-by-hour basis. I am self-aware enough that I can admit that I need to feel respected by the people I work with. I need to feel smart (not smarter, just smart). I expected my clients wouldn't like me, and that judges would get angry, and that prosecutors would give me a hard time. But I never thought I'd be like this. It's all so yucky.
I think I can finally admit that I am not cut out for this, at least as it is here in my jurisdiction. Maybe a different jurisdiction would be better for me. Or maybe it's just that I don't have that thick skin required to do this job, anywhere, and do it well.

Wow. I feel you. It's the same in the jurisdictions where I've practiced. My conclusion is that most judges are prosecutors so we often feel like we're arguing into a void because they literally can't hear what we're saying. Most judges are so bent on convictions that anything that would get them to think differently is just not possible. This is especially frustrating when the law and facts are on our side. I had a judge recuse himself from a case after I filed a motion to dismiss. I will never prove it, but I will always believe he did it because he read the motion and realized it was his duty to dismiss the case but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it. Thankfully, the judge who took over was able to do the right thing. Judges who can do the right thing are few and far between and that is really what makes this job so hard.
Who is "cut out" for this kind of abuse and disrespect on a daily basis? I don't think anyone is. Still, we do it for our clients, and for our hope and belief that what is true and right will prevail (at least occasionally). And we all do it for our own reasons on top of those...
I feel for you. I hope it gets better or you find something different.
- Blonde Justice said...
Ugh, I hear you. The hardest thing is, trying to explain, I think, that I love my job in theory, but not in practice. I like the idea of what I do but not the way it goes down sometimes. It sucks. Hang in there until you figure out something better.
- Skelly said...
Everything Ambimb and Blondie said, and more. You have respect and acknowledgment out here.
I hope that your dedication will sustain you on the bad days. Personally, I can vouch for the different jurisdiction solution, but which ever road you take, you are going to be okay. Anyone who can quote Neko Case in a blog title isn't going to see the bastards grind her down.
- carol d said...
Holy Cow! I think I wrote this yesterday and my words someone snuck over to your blog. I try to be positive (mainly to selfishly cheer myself up) on pdrevolution, but lord, some days, I want to give up and kill people on my way out.

This judge just kept screwing with me, and one time it was too much and I asked him to recuse himself. I spent the last 3 days proving what an ass he was. Yesterday, when I saw your post, I was at a low point because I thought, Why am I doing this--they're all just going to treat me worse, and it won't help my client, etc.
Today? The judge recused himself; and the prosecutor is so afraid of how much the judge screwed up this case that he's now going to agree to a 10 year sentence, rather than the 15 he had previously agreed to recommend.
I'm telling you this just in solidarity with how crappy we get treated. It alternately causes me despair and pisses me off. I think maybe we should take them on more; on the other hand, I'm just daring them to fire me at this point. I've been thinking about posting transcripts of bad judges.
Oh, and this judge is none other that he who does not like Yep!

J. Cole Honored by Best New Artist 2012 Grammy Awards Nom
J. Cole couldn't be more humble about his Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. The 'Work Out' rapper revealed that he demanded his record label Roc Nation to release his gold-selling debut 'Cole World: The Sideline Story' in late September before the Grammy deadline so it could be considered for nominations.
"Everybody at the label knew we had to move," he explains. "It was because I was telling my management and the label I had to beat the Grammy deadline. If you look at the [release] date, my album came out two days before the Grammy deadline. It's because I knew I had a shot." Good call, Cole.
However, the North Carolina native has some major competition in the category with Nicki Minaj, Skrillex, Bon Iver and the Band Perry all vying for the coveted award. "It's a honor to be on the list," Cole says. "[Nicki] is on that list. To have two hip-hop artists on that list says a lot about hip-hop right now. Even Skrillex, who is a DJ -- and even though it's more of electronic style of music, the art of DJing comes from hip-hop. So that's crazy to look at the list and see how much hip-hop influences the Best New Artist [category]."
Hollywood Cole is ready to make his presence felt at the 2012 Grammy Awards. He's also bringing his family along for support. "I got a suit ready to go," he says. I'm bringing my mom. My mom got a dress, my girl got a dress, my homeboys got their suits. We're ready, man. We're trying to take it home."
Good luck, J. Cole!
The 2012 Grammy Awards will air live on CBS at 8PM ET. Check back on PopCrush for complete coverage of the event including performances by Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne, Rihanna and Coldplay and more.

What is community-based learning?
Community-based learning (also known as service-learning) describes the collaboration between institutions of higher education and their larger communities for the reciprocal exchange of knowledge and resources. Community-based learning opportunities are tied to academic coursework and address concerns that are identified and articulated by the community, and offer structured preparation and reflection opportunities for the students involved.
Why community-based learning?
The purpose of community engagement is the partnership of college and university knowledge and resources with those of the public and private sectors to enrich scholarship, research, and creative activity; enhance curriculum, teaching and learning; prepare educated, engaged citizens; strengthen democratic values and civic responsibility; address critical societal issues; and contribute to the public good.
