Oklahoma-based Newell Coach Corp. is "freshening" the look of it's 2011 ultra high-end custom-made motorcoach for the first time since the 2006 model year with upgrades to the Newell's front caps, rear-body trim, taillights and interior decor.
"It's a refinement, an update," said President Karl Blade. "We wanted to bring a fresh product to the marketplace for those people who follow big coaches. The changes are distinctive, but not radical."
The 2011 modifications include bright-white "string-of-pearl" LED running lights that outline the outer edges of the headlights and redesigned side moldings. Interiors feature wood windowsill trim bordered with seamed-leather, carbon-fiber instrument panels and automated air conditioning and heating.
The first 2011 Newell came off the production line in mid-January and debuts Feb. 12-13 during the grand opening of Signature Resorts' new Naples (Fla.) Motorcoach Resort.
A legendary brand in the motorhome business, Newell was founded in 1967 by L.K. Newell who purchased the motorhome division of California-based Streamline Trailer Co. and moved it to Oklahoma. Blade purchased the company in 1979.
"Mr. Newell's innovation at the time was radical," Blade said. "We take it for granted now, but he built the first rear-engine motorhome in 1969 and the first diesel-powered motorhome in 1970. He also designed the first basement storage. It took years for the rest of the industry to adopt those things."
Newell currently employs 150 people at a 150,00-square-foot factory that includes 40,000 square feet of service area manned by 20 technicians.
Newell motorcoaches usually retail upward of $1.4 million factory-direct sales from the company's headquarters in Miami, Okla.
Along with the rest of the American economy, the e niche Newell occupies appears to be exiting the economic maelstrom that has enveloped the RV industry for the last two years.
"The market definitely is coming back," Blade said. Interestingly, from what we've seen, the biggest change in recent months has been our late-model pre-owned (coach buyers) filling the void left by others (manufacturers) that have exited."
Among the casualties of the recession were Coachworks Holdings Inc., converter of the high-end Blue Bird motorcoach, and Country Coach Holdings Inc., Junction City, Ore.
"There have been big changes in the conversion industry," Blade said.
Newell entered the recession with little inventory, and all of its 2009 and 2010 coaches have been sold. "That is allowing us to put fresh 2011 product out there that no other (consumer) has," Blade said.
Typically, Newell will take a two- or three-year-old Newell in trade and refurbish it for resale. "It's very similar to the way we sell a new coach," Blade said. "It's not custom, but we'll make modifications, depending on financial factors. "We might add closets or entertainment centers or pull a desk out and change it to a sofa. It's limited by the fact that if you get very deep into it, it gets expensive."
While Newell builds motorcoches in 38- to 45-foot lengths on its own custom-built 63,300-pound GVWR diesel-pusher chassis powered by a 650-hp Cummins ISX engine, most customers order 45-footers. All coaches are custom-designed and can take up to nine months to build.
"Ninety percent of our product is 45-footers," he said. "The price savings aren't significant if you build a smaller coach. And people won't buy small stuff unless they can save a lot of money."
Selling expensive motorcoachs requires a personal approach to marketing and that's among the reasons Blade is spending the winter at Motorcoach Country Club in Indio, Calif.
"I spend three months every winter in Indio to show the product and cultivate relationships with our existing customer base," Blade said.
With dealer inventories of other high-end motorhomes limited by the current economic situation, Newell is seeing new customers who might not have considered buying a coach factory-direct.
"Too often, prospects would go to their nearest local dealer and look at a new high-end Class A and that's what they'd buy," Blade said. "We never saw them. Today you don't see many new or used high-end Class A's on dealers' lots in California. It's expanding the market dramatically for us. We are almost out of pre-owned."

Breast Cancer
Data & Statistical Reports
Fight breast cancer in Missouri with a Breast Cancer Awareness specialty license plate!
Get yours...
Breast cancer is a malignant (cancer) tumor that starts from cells of the breast. It is found mostly in women, but men can get breast cancer, too. About one-percent of all breast cancer diagnosed is diagnosed in men.
Excluding cancer of the skin, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women. Breast cancer accounts for one-third of all cancers diagnosed in Missouri, and is the leading cause of cancer deaths in women after lung cancer. Nearly all breast cancers can be treated successfully if detected early. When detected in the earliest stages, the cure rate is 97 percent.
A number of risk factors have been identified, but most women do not have any known risk factors at the time of their diagnosis. The biggest risk of a breast cancer diagnosis is being a woman and getting older. Breast cancer diagnosis and breast cancer deaths increase age. Ninety-five percent of new cases and 97 percent of breast cancer deaths occur in women aged 40 and older.
At this time, there is no guaranteed way to prevent breast cancer for women who are at average risk, which is why screening by mammography, clinic breast examination, and breast self-examination is so important.

When did Joey Logano, whose career got off to a dubious start after Randy LaJoie christened him "Sliced Bread,'' (as in, "the greatest thing since . . .''), suddenly become a lightning rod of controversy in NASCAR?
Logano, the 22-year-old Sprint Cup driver from Middletown, Conn., certainly painted himself in a none-too-flattering light in last week's Auto Club 400 at Fontana, Calif., where he was involved in a last-lap wipeout of former Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin as the drivers raced side by side for a victory that wound up going to Kyle Busch.
Logano, in his first year driving the No. 22 Ford fielded by Penske Racing, finished third at Fontana.
But Hamlin spun out and heavily impacted an inside retaining wall near the entrance of pit road at Auto Club Speedway, sending him to the hospital with a compression fracture of his first lumbar vertebra. He will be sidelined for six weeks and miss at least five races. Mark Martin will be his replacement in the No. 11 Toyota for next weekend's race at Martinsville, Va. Brian Vickers will then take over for the remaining four races.
Unaware of the severity of Hamlin's injury, Logano sounded tone deaf when asked about the incident, saying Hamlin had simply got what was coming to him after he had wrecked Logano in the previous week's race at Bristol, Tenn.
"He probably shouldn't have done what he did last week, so that's what he gets,'' Logano said.
Later, when those remarks were juxtaposed with images of Hamlin being gingerly placed on a stretcher and loaded into the back of an ambulance, Logano backtracked, indicating it was never his intention to hurt anyone, least of all Hamlin.
"I just thought we were racing hard, you know?'' Logano told USA Today. "It happens. You don't ever want anyone to get hurt; you don't want anything to happen, especially to Denny. We were racing really hard there at the end of the race.
"I wish there was a SAFER barrier down there, and I wish I knew [about Hamlin's injury] before I made any comments on TV also.''
Logano tried to reach out to Hamlin via Twitter Thursday, when he posted: "Wish @dennyhamlin a speedy recovery. Hope he gets back to the track soon. And thanks to all of my fans for their support. #meansalot."
Logano's olive branch offering did little to quell the seething Hamlin, and it seems it might also take more than a tweet or a text message to smooth things over with Tony Stewart, whom Logano blocked and shoved down to the apron near Turn 1 to protect his line on the race's final restart at Fontana.
"Just racing hard, trying to win the race,'' Logano said. "I wanted to block that because I knew if he put me three-wide, that would be the end of my race and I wouldn't win. I was smart enough to realize that. I understand that [Stewart] is frustrated and he's angry and I'll talk to him about that. I had to do what I had to do.''
As far was Stewart was concerned, talk was cheap. And he demonstrated he was going to have none of it from Logano when Stewart stomped over to Logano's pit area after the race and took a swing at him.
"He's going to learn a lesson,'' Stewart said of Logano. "He's run his mouth long enough. He's nothing but a little rich kid who's never had to work in his life, so he's going to learn what us working guys who had to work our way up . . . how it works.''
Then, Stewart issued a warning to Logano.
"If he ever turns down across in front of me again — I don't care what lap it is — he won't make it through the other end of it. I'm tired of these guys doing that stuff, especially out of a kid that's been griping out everybody else, and then he does that the next week. Sends Denny to the hospital and screws our day up.
"He's talked the talk, but he hasn't walked the walk yet. He's always got his crew guys walking the walk for him.''
Beginning to thaw
Things are beginning to take shape at New England Dragway in Epping, N.H., where the strip will host an inaugural NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series event June 20-23.
Joe Lombardo, New England Dragway's general manager, said this week that the brutal winter weather did wreak some havoc in the track's attempts to get its $2 million pit paving project underway.
"The ground was so frozen and so wet and, of course, we had a lot of snow on the ground,'' Lombardo said. "But a lot of that is gone now and we'll begin work on the detention ponds to handle the water flow and then, if everything goes according to plan, we should have pavement down by the end of April.''
Lombardo indicated the track was able to get other projects completed to meet NHRA specifications in advance of its inaugural national event. He also said New England Dragway planned to install temporary seating to double its grandstand capacity from 7,500 to 15,000.
"We had to get all new barriers on the track and we got that completed about the middle of January,'' Lombardo said. "Throughout the course of last year we got a lot of other things done. We installed the rest of our lights, we moved our scoreboard frames back, and we started working on the catch area and need to get that finished up, but nothing that's really major [is left to complete] except for the paving project.''
Hinchcliffe hits mark
James Hinchcliffe captured the first IndyCar victory of his career in the series season opener last weekend in St. Petersburg, Fla., where the Andretti Autosport driver was joined on the podium by teammate Marco Andretti, who finished third, and runner-up Helio Castroneves. Hinchcliffe took the lead from Castroneves on a late restart when the Penske Racing driver went wide going into the first corner. "Last year we qualified fourth, finished fourth,'' Hinchcliffe said. "Qualified fourth again and I thought that was kind of our cursed number there for a bit and then the big thing that people were saying early on in the season is 'What is it going to take to win?' And the big thing was minimizing mistakes.'' . . . A.J. Allmendinger, who was forced out of his NASCAR ride at Penske Racing last summer when he tested positive for a banned substance, conducted a rookie oval orientation at Texas Motor Speedway in preparation for his run at the Indianapolis 500. "Just like any test in an IndyCar right now for me, it's about getting comfortable,'' said Allmendinger, who will make his IZOD IndyCar Series debut next weekend in the Honda Indy Grand Prix of Alabama at Barber Motorsports Park. "It all feels like I'm a fish out of water, trying to figure out how to get around. People assume back when I raced Champ Cars I did a lot of ovals, but I really only did Milwaukee, so this is brand new for me.''
Material from personal interviews, various sanctioning bodies, race tracks, teams, and manufacturers was used in the preparation of this report. Michael Vega can be reached at email@example.com.

UPDATED: TORRANCE – A man convicted in the killings of two people inside an Inglewood insurance office more than five years ago was sentenced to death Friday, with a judge calling him a "monster."
Osman Canales, 31, was convicted last year of two counts of first-degree murder for the Sept. 26, 2007, slayings of Lorena Rodriguez, 48, of Hawthorne, and Joel Cruz Perez, 51, of Los Angeles.
Jurors also found Canales guilty of three counts of robbery and one count each of kidnapping to commit another crime, dissuading a witness, burglary, unlawful taking of an automobile and misdemeanor sexual battery by restraint involving a third person who was released.
Jurors also found true the special circumstance allegations of multiple murders, murder during a robbery and burglary and murder during the kidnapping of Rodriguez, who was taken to a bank and ordered to empty her account, according to Deputy District Attorney Greta Walker.
Rodriguez was then brought back to the business, at 415 W. Manchester Blvd., where she and Perez both had their throats slit with a kitchen knife, the deputy district attorney said.
Torrance Superior Court Judge Steven Van Sicklen lashed out at Canales during the hearing, saying he showed no sign of remorse or compassion for the victims or their families during his trial.
"Animals kill to survive, to eat and to protect themselves," the judge said. "To call you an animal would be an insult to the animal kingdom. The only word that comes to mind when I think of you is the word monster."
Authorities believe the crimes may have been motivated by Canales being upset over a business transaction with Rodriguez, who rented space in the office for her real estate business, according to the prosecutor.
Co-defendant Julius Laulu, 29, was also convicted of the murders. The District Attorney's Office opted not to seek the death penalty against Laulu, who was sentenced Dec. 18 to two life prison terms without the possibility of parole plus 74 years and four months to life.
A third defendant, Juan Pablo Maldonado, 22, is set to be sentenced Jan. 16 following his plea to lesser charges, including involuntary manslaughter. He is facing 26 years in prison, according to the prosecutor.
Van Sicklen noted during today's hearing that Maldonado was forced by Canales — his stepfather — to take part in the crime, and now he is facing years behind bars.
"You are the among the worst of the worst," he told Canales.

A vandal broke into Soldier Field, scaling the colonnade stairs and setting a fire in an executive suite, just a week before the Bears' first preseason game of the season Friday night.
Three suites were vandalized at the stadium at 1410 Museum Campus Dr. between late Friday and early Saturday, according to police.
A member of the stadium's cleaning service discovered executive suites on the D Level open and unlocked about 5 a.m. Sunday, according to a police source.
She checked the suites and found that they had been vandalized. According to police, one suite had writing carved into the walls and a pentagon shape painted on the carpet.
Cabinets and glass had been broken, and a fire had been started on one suite's carpeting, police said.
Another suite had minimal damage, but the doors and cabinets had been opened, police said.
Police checked surveillance camera footage and found that the vandal got into Soldier Field by scaling the east colonnade stairs sometime between 9 p.m. Friday and 2 a.m. Saturday, according to a police report.
The suspect is described in the report as a white man between 25 and 30, 5-foot-10 to 6-foot and 160-170 pounds, wearing a red T-shirt and blue jeans.
The Bears are scheduled to play a preseason game at 7 p.m. Friday night at Solider Field against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Soldier Field spokesman Luca Serra did not say whether or not the suites would be repaired in time for the game.
No arrests have been made, police said, and Area Central detectives are investigating.

What If?
Watching the Grammy Award Show on tonight brought back memories of Waterman Street School and our music lessons. Mrs. Ogdon traveled from school to school tying to teach us little ingrates about the music beat.
At Waterman Street Grammar School she combined several classes. The only room for all us in one room was down in the basement.
She handed out little round dowel looking sticks about a foot long and about an inch in diameter. She gave each person two sticks. If I remember correctly, one was red and one was green. She would get on the piano and teach us to hit the sticks against each other and sing. She taught us such songs as "Oh My Darling Clementine", "She'll Be Coming Around the Mountain When She Comes", and "Going To Alabama With a Banjo on My knee".
Us boys would poke each other with our sticks, use the sticks for phallic symbols and things like that, all behind Mrs. Ogdon's back.
I was thinking during the Grammy Awards what if I paid attention and because really got the hang of beating sticks together and became a famous stick soloist?
What if I got a contract with Columbia Records and came out on stage with a glittering sports jacket and everybody cheered and I would play my sticks and for kicks throw them up in the air and catch them between beats. Then after I finish bow and everybody would go wild applauding? I would leave. Then they would rise and stomp their feet until I return to the stage and give them one more stick beating tune?
And on Grammy Night I might raise my Grammy and say, "Thank you Mrs. Ogdon, wherever you are?"

"As detailed in Andrew Shea's fascinating documentary "Portrait of Wally,"Egon Schiele 's haunting 1912 painting of his mistress and favorite model Wally Neuzil had a complicated, extremely dramatic history as well as a legal and cultural significance that can't be overestimated... By showing how difficult and problematic righting a wrong can turn out to be, "Portrait of Wally" does itself proud."
– Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"Works like a suspense drama! A painting's provenance matters, and so does this portrait of 'Portrait of Wally.'"
– Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune
"[A] bombshell! 'Portrait of Wally' isn't just about stolen art: It's about cultural skulduggery, political sleaze, institutional hypocrisy and the virtues of persistence."
– John Anderson, Variety
"A cinematic masterwork about a painted masterpiece."
– E. Nina Rothe, Huffington Post
"[Portrait of Wally] does justice to that other famed account of postwar Viennese murk and intrigue, Carol Reed's 1949 film noir The Third Man"
– Geoff Pevere, Toronto Globe and Mail
"Engrossing...Anything can be acquired, no matter how personal or precious. That's the whole point of the film."
– Norman Wilner, Toronto Now Magazine
"An inherently tense film that tells its story in reasoned but sympathetic fashion, Portrait of Wally's most electrifying scene comes almost at its end. To say more would spoil it, but these precious few moments are all it takes to understand and appreciate the war Lea Bondi's family and their allies fought in her name."
– Robert Sims, Palm Beach Daily News
"Portrait of Wally's tumultuous history makes for a gripping tale…"
– Jason Anderson, Toronto Star
"Director Andrew Shea has assembled a taut, expertly-made documentary… Portrait of Wally is probably one of the best docs that will slip under the radar this year."
– Dan Schindel, Off to See the Elephant
"An ace legal thriller, spinning a web of shame that snags everything from the Austrian government to America's most beloved not-for-profits."
– Eric Hynes, Time Out New York
"A surprisingly engaging account of a landmark case that shook up the art world."
– Devin Fuller, indieWire
"Portrait Of Wally tells a gripping story."
– Sam Adams, Onion's AV Club
"An engrossing, exhaustively detailed account of how Portrait of Wally changed hands over the decades… Makes a fairly devastating case, via archival evidence, interviews with many of the key players, and an expansive scope that includes restitution laws, whitewashed national histories, and the questionable ethics of art institutions."
– Kimberly Jones, Austin Chronicle
"'Portrait of Wally' moves at a steady pace, raising awareness and providing inside knowledge on one of the most heated debates the art world has ever seen."
– Emma McWhinney, TimeOut London
"'Portrait of Wally', more than the story of a painting and its travails, depicts essential contradictions in the conduct of human affairs and flaws in the human soul. Perhaps, then, Schiele's intentions have been realized."
– Alex Joffe, Jewish Ideas Daily
"Andrew Shea has deftly painted the surprisingly political saga of an artwork wrenched from a Jewish gallerist by the Nazis… Hugely insightful…"
– Lavanya Ramanathan, Washington Post
"Portrait of Wally packs an emotional wallop, not so much in excoriating the Nazis for originally looting the painting, but in clearly exposing why it took so long to rectify this wrong. The film becomes as suspenseful and charged as the painting itself — a work of great sexual energy and electricity that became a talisman openly coveted by many powerful players."
– Jon Bowman, Santa Fe New Mexican
"Fascinating and frighteningly revelatory."
– David Noh, Film Journal International
"A fascinating story… You leave the film haunted by the blurry black-and-white footage of a peaceful, stylish prewar Vienna; and by the words, used by one of the film's narrators, speaking of works looted by Nazis and never returned to their owners: 'They had an interest,' he says of the art world, 'in closing their eyes.'"
– Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times
"A must see for anyone who cares about modern art. Although the main story deals with art looted by the Nazis, the modern developments provide an astonishing thriller of a tale…Your mouth will hang open at the twists and turns in the history of this dear little painting."
– Greer Nicholson, Cinetalk
"Andrew Shea's recent film "Portrait of Wally" turns those facts into a passionately argued, ethical detective story... [It] unfolds at a perfect pace and with compassion for the Bondi family in the face of art-establishment skulduggery and paranoia."
– Iain Millar, The Art Newspaper
"A serpentine thriller"
– Graham Fuller, ARTINFO
"An energetic retelling of a tale well worth hearing!"
– George Robinson, Jewish Week
"Portrait of Wally, a testament to art's baffling ability to somehow encapsulate everything and nothing of life at once, deserves to be one of the docs that breaks into the American pop consciousness this year."
– Chuck Bowen, Slant Magazine

fRNAdb sequence ontologies for GC01M028584 Gene
H_ACA_box_snoRNA: Members of the box H/ACA family contain an ACA triplet, exactly 3 nt upstream from the 3' end and an H-box in a hinge region that links two structurally similar functional domains of the molecule. Both boxes are important for snoRNA biosynthesis and function. A few box H/ACA snoRNAs are involved in rRNA processing; most others are known or predicted to participate in selection of uridine nucleosides in rRNA to be converted to pseudouridines. Site selection is mediated by direct base pairing of the snoRNA with rRNA through one or both targeting domains.

A fiscal train wreck is one thing but when it is combined with the following elements it makes the recipe for a perfect storm as American as apple pie. Meanwhile back on the ranch America's president and congress cut taxes during war time and America's elite dances a merry jig to the tune played by the pied pipers of flat earth economics.
Historically speaking, rivals always eventually emerge to bring an end to great empires, but the present one seems uniquely qualified to engineer its own demise.
The following projections and facts are in no particular order for the order changes naught a whit the laws that govern even such exalted beings as Republicans and Democrats. The laws I speak of here are physics and the all too inevitable cycle of violence, blame, retribution, and violence; which I will refer in this piece by the fancy CIA moniker of 'blowback'. (Little known historical fact: Mankind long ago discovered a perpetual motion machine, it is called the vendetta.)
Addendum: Perhaps the most under-reported story of the last century: The detonation of the equivalent of over 400,000 Hiroshima sized bombs into the earth's atmosphere. According to some scientists this was very likely responsible for as many as 60,000,000 cancers worldwide.
America is the self-acknowledged leader of the world a position she got the old fashioned way, by destroying her rivals. They say it's lonely at the top, Chalmers Johnson says, "Things that can't go on forever, don't." Whether it is fair or not, most of the world has decided that America's way of doing business is "out to get them". Not an unreasonable assumption on their part, given that the conservative estimates are that 40,000 people die of hunger and related causes every single day, 826,000,000 are chronically malnourished, and 100 billion dollars could bring water and sanitation to the world. Meanwhile America gives tax breaks for SUV's, spends hundreds of billions on 'tactical' (finally the ultimate oxymoron) nuclear weapons and the weaponization of space. Her weakness revealed America resolves to hold the world hostage? At the very least a fair question I'd say most would agree.
Being denominated as the 'petro-dollar' by OPEC, the 'debt dollar' by the IMF and the World Bank, and the world's reserve currency is a purely political phenomenon. As long as America was aligned with her financier's purposes this was allowed to continue despite its obvious irrationality. But now America has finally overstepped her bounds and she will be reined in from her profligacy, though whether to good effect or not is still very unclear.
Finally on a personal note: When the aforementioned is put together with America's internal lack of oil, gas, and even water, Canada would be wise to look very closely at defending herself sometime in the first half of this century. For there is little doubt that America as a mortally wounded giant will be even less able to make rational decisions than she was when her cheeks were fat and rosy with empire. The result of this is certain to be that elements within her administration seek to save her predominance with one last grasp at periphery to consume. No doubt this will be hailed as an operation to guarantee Albertan's freedom from the pernicious influence of the 'Frenchies and Socialists' . The geological fact of Alberta's oil deposits and Canada's water being purely coincidental no doubt.

- Malaysian Grand Prix
Dominant Hamilton leads Mercedes one-twoLaurence Edmondson at Sepang March 30, 2014
Lewis Hamilton drove an inch-perfect race at the Malaysian Grand Prix to take his first victory of the 2014 season and lead home a Mercedes one-two at Sepang.
The Story of the Weekend
- Shock: The fact Romain Grosjean made the end of the race was something of a shock after the struggles Lotus has faced, but that he was just 2.2s off the points was genuinely impressive.
- Shocker: Jules Bianchi's first lap sideswipe of Pastor Maldonado was clumsy and also led to a deserved penalty.
- Best overtake: Fernando Alonso may have had fresher tyres when he passed Nico Hukenberg for fourth place, but he was lacking straight-line speed and could not simply blast past. In the end he set the move up into Turn 1 and completed it on the exit of Turn 2.
- Best lap: Daniel Ricciardo's opening lap was special, jumping from fifth to third and passing his team-mate in the process. But the race went downhill at mid-distance for the Australian...
- Worst lap: Laps don't get much worse that lap 43 for Ricciardo. At his final pit stop the front left was not fitted properly and then the front wing failed just before the end of the lap. The whole fiasco dropped him from fourth to 16th. To add to it, he was given a 10-second stop-go penalty for an unsafe release.
- Drive of the day: It has to be Lewis Hamilton. Once he got through the first corner unscathed it was a walk in the park, but Hamilton was faultless all race and deserves all the plaudits for such a dominant display.
- Laurence Edmondson
After a clean start, Hamilton's lead never looked in doubt and Mercedes executed an immaculate three-stop strategy to beat team-mate Nico Rosberg to victory by 17.3s. After 25 laps he had a lead over 10 seconds, and while Sebastian Vettel in third put the pressure on Rosberg at some points of the race, the Mercedes victory looked locked on throughout.
Fernando Alonso held out for fourth place but was made to work for it in the final stint by Nico Hulkenberg, who was able to go longer on his tyres and was the only driver to complete the race with just two pit stops. Jenson Button finished sixth ahead of the two battling Williams of Felipe Massa and Valtteri Bottas. Bottas looked quicker but could not find a way past Massa on track, despite the team asking the drivers to swap positions.
Kevin Magnussen finished ninth for McLaren after making contact with Kimi Raikkonen on lap one, earning him a five-second stop-go penalty at his second pit stop. Daniil Kvyat rounded out the points position in tenth, just ahead of an impressive drive from Romain Grosjean in the troublesome Lotus and Raikkonen in 12th, who never fully recovered from a puncture following the Magnussen contact.
Rosberg made the fastest start of the top three and was pushed up next to the pit wall by Vettel as the Red Bull driver left just enough room for the Mercedes to squeeze by. Hamilton kept his cool into Turn 1 and never looked back as he extended his lead to create a comfortable buffer to Rosberg by the end of the first stint. Vettel briefly dropped behind team-mate Daniel Ricciardo, but passed him into Turn 1 on lap four to take the chase to Rosberg.
The top three all stuck to the same three-stop strategy, with mediums for the first three stints and hards to finish the race. Vettel got closest to Rosberg at the second pit stop but could not live with the pace of the Mercedes and slowly dropped back to consolidate his first podium of the season.
Ricciardo was fourth for much of the race, but his afternoon started to fall apart on lap 40 when he made his third pit stop and the front left tyre was not fitted properly as he pulled away. His mechanics wheeled him back to complete the job but just a couple of laps later his front wing failed after riding the kerb at Turn 14 and he was forced to pit again. By the end of the calamities he had dropped to 16th place and retired soon after.
Ricciardo's troubles appeared to hand Alonso fourth place, but Hulkenberg defied convention by staying out for a long stint on the hard tyres after his second pit stop. Alonso struggled to match the more powerful Force India on the straights, but finally made the pass stick in the opening sequence of corners.
The battle between Massa and Bottas provided entertainment at the end of the race, even though positions were not exchanged. After the final pit stop, Williams ordered Massa to let Bottas past, saying "Valtteri is faster than you", but clearly the echo of the Ferrari team orders from the 2010 German Grand Prix - when Massa was forced to cede his last shot at victory to Alonso - did not go down well with the Brazilian and he refused to move aside. As a result Bottas was not able to attack Button a little further down the road, leaving Williams with another missed opportunity this weekend.

JERUSALEM — In August 2012, about 18 months into the Syrian civil war, President Barack Obama declared that his administration's red line in the conflict would be when "we start seeing a whole bunch of chemical weapons moving around or being utilized."
"That would change my calculus," he said. "That would change my equation."
Almost a year later to the day, on Aug. 21, images of the apparent massive use of lethal chemical weapons began streaming out of Syria: gray, lifeless bodies were shown wrapped in white cloth and lined up like cigarettes in an incident the United States now says cost at least 1,400 lives.
Since then, the world has waited to see what Obama's changed equation will look like.
The tense days between the attack's confirmation — and an expected military response — have given rise to questions rarely pondered: Why is the use of chemical weapons the red line Obama and other Western nations choose to guide their actions? And why do chemical weapons seem make even war-weary populations anxious?
The first use of a chemical agent in battle was during World War I. It left behind a body of great British poetry — and, for the first time, images of bug-like, gas-masked soldiers crouching in trenches, hoping to evade an undetectable wave of carnage.
More from GlobalPost: Here's what Syrians have to say about intervention
At a press conference in Stockholm, Sweden Wednesday, Obama modified his earlier stance.
"I didn't set a red line," he said. "The world set a red line."
"My credibility is not on the line. The international community's credibility is on the line," he continued. "These international norms are important."
Few experts disagree with Obama's basic premise.
"Historical roots going back to the First World War have it that chemical and biological methods are more lethal and especially can kill more civilians and innocent people than conventional weapons," said retired Brig. Gen. Michael Herzog, a former Israel army intelligence officer, now an international fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
"Look at Syria. More than 100,000 people were killed, and the world was silent," he said. "Now, 1,400 are dead in an unconventional attack, and the Americans are explaining their involvement in the context of general norms, certainly not due to an American interest."
Daniel Sibony, a French psychoanalyst, philosopher and the author of numerous books on human identity, believes that Obama had the Holocaust — "a universally indelible image" — in mind when he set the now-famous red line in place.
"It is inescapable," he said. "The Holocaust is a universal memory. The red line exists because it is impermissible to allow the recurrence of even a small, mini-holocaust of 1,500 people. It causes an unbearable flashback."
The concept of killing a trapped civilian population, Sibony says, "like rodents or cockroaches, indiscriminately," operated by an unseen human hand, has become intolerable since the gas chamber killings of Jews in World War II.
Despite speculation in Israeli media that last week's rush on gas masks was provoked by WWII-related anxieties, however, Lt. Col. Keren Maimon-Schreiber, head of the population behavior branch in Israel's Home Front Command, says a much more recent event drove the surge.
"We are the only country in the world that relatively recently dealt with the potential of chemical warfare," she said, referring to Israel's level of preparedness during the 1991 Gulf War, when every citizen was provided a gas mask and every household ordered to contain stores of water and non-perishable food and be sealed with plastic sheeting and hermetic tape.
"Everyone over the age of 25 in this country has a lot of actual practice," she said.
Maimon-Schreiber ascribes Israelis' swarming towards gas mask distribution centers as "entirely rational behavior based on previous experience and on instructions given to the public." Her only frustration, she said, is with the population's procrastination.
"Everyone could have picked up a gas mask two years ago, in an orderly manner," she said.
The possibility of a chemical attack on a war-hardened citizenry such as Israel's is expressed mainly through feelings of personal insecurity.
"Almost everyone here has experience with some sort of conventional attack, missiles or terror or actual war, but not with anything chemical, so the perceived threat causes tremendous feelings of uncertainty," said a senior source in Israel's Home Front Command.
Obama said Wednesday the red line on chemical weapons was not plucked "out of thin air," but responded to global conventions banning the use of chemical weapons, "which the overwhelming consensus of humanity says is wrong."
If the rationale for action in Syria is humanitarian, it should have come long ago, the Washington Institute's Herzog argues, on the basis of an entirely different concept: "responsibility to protect," or R2P, as articulated by former United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 1996.
"You can't deny a humanitarian crisis when over 100,000 people are dead," he said.

Talk:Diocese of Sourozh
Stylistically, it is common in historical and encyclopedic articles to use the name of a bishop without his title once his title has already been introduced. (The same holds true of saints.) This is the OrthodoxWiki standard. It becomes awkward and redundant to use the title every time the name is mentioned. It is not disrespectful to use this common practice in English writing.
Jurisdiction in OrthodoxWiki is a specifically defined term which is appropriate for the use of the Diocese of Sourozh. I'm not going to change it back, of course, but generally, jurisdiction here is defined as any of the following: one of the autocephalous or autonomous churches, the presence of one of those churches in an area with overlapping ecclesiastical territories (the "diaspora"), or one of the various breakaway groups (e.g. Old Calendarists). See Category:Jurisdictions for more information.
Most of the time "Western Europe" is mentioned, it typically does not include the UK. The official United Nations definition of Western Europe, for instance, does not include those nations (cf. Wikipedia:Western Europe).
BTW, it's good to see you here, Maxim. From the style of your edits and comments, I'm guessing you're the anonymous editor with whom I've been working on the Wikipedia article (your IP, at any rate, is the same). I hope you enjoy your time here. OrthodoxWiki is similar to, but not the same as, Wikipedia. —Dcn. Andrew talk random contribs 16:25, June 16, 2006 (CDT)
Of course, etc.
I take the correction re 'jurisdiction'. The small snippet line made it look more blunt than it was. I'm just conscious that (a) there are stavropegic Moscow Patriarchate churches in UK & RI [e.g. the Dublin Church]: these are Moscow jurisdiction; (b) there are non-Moscow Russian churches in UK & NI [e.g. the Belfast one]: these are Russian. I just wanted to pick out Sourozh between these two - so that it didn't tread on the toes of either.

On 'Commonwealth-izing'
Dear Dn Damick, I feel a slight chafe of imperialism in the stipulation that the article needs to be 'Commonwealth-ized in usage'. I am not sure what it means for an article to require 'commonwealth-izing'. The article as it stands is British English, conforming (barring typos) to the OED and the Oxford Manual of Style. I believe that the Commonwealth generally communicates in British English. I note also that the Orthodoxwiki requires consistency in the type of English used (e.g. whether British or whatever). It does not stipulate mandatory redaction of an article to conform it to American English spelling and grammatical norms. As ever, Maxim 22:57, June 22, 2006 (CDT)

The Reference R-115SW subwoofer is the perfect combination of power, sophisticated and heart-pounding bass. Packing a serious punch, the R-115SW will not only wake your neighbors, it'll piss them off. The way only Klipsch can.
It's worth noting that [the dual R-115SW subwoofers] did offer enough headroom to handle everything I threw at them. They are big subs with genuine room-shaking output that drops right into the infrasonic realm.Mark Henninger | AVS Forum
Mmm...copper cones.
The R-115SW, R-112SW and R-110SW boast spun-copper Cerametallic woofers that are exceptionally light yet extremely rigid – providing remarkably low-frequency response with minimal cone breakup and distortion. Basically more boom, less effort.
Low pass crossover and phase control allows you to blend the subwoofer's low-frequency tones with other Klipsch speakers as well as establish the ideal level of bass. Get a smooth, even dispersion of bass that suits your room size and layout.
Available in three different sizes, these Reference Subwoofers are ready to rock the room, whatever size it may be.
Tightness and punch are this sub's thing...This punchy character makes the R-115SW stand out a bit from most of the 15-inch subs I've tried.Brent Butterworth | Home Theater Review

No. I used to be a big fan. He doesn't do enough off the ball. Luxury player.
Yep - one more season
He doesn't do enough with the ball either. It's a bad habit to generally do nothing on a football pitch.
I quite like him. We'd be mental not to try and hold on to him. Sadly I think he will be subject to the buy back clause or stay in Milan. A lot of people seem to forget he's still young and has very high potential. Think he can be class on his day.
You're right, we're not a charity - so we keep him for another season on condition that he signs a two year extensionIf not, the same as Ross applies - adios
I'd be happy to see him get another chance .

Any way you measure it, 2013 was a good year for al Qaeda. It wasn't supposed to be. Shortly after the United States killed the group's charismatic leader, Osama bin Laden, a couple of years ago, Obama administration officials openly proclaimed that his death, coupled with targeted strikes that eliminated other senior jihadist leaders, had just about put al Qaeda out of business. Leon Panetta, then the defense secretary, stated in July 2011 that the United States was "within reach" of "strategically defeating" al Qaeda if it killed or captured 10 to 20 of its remaining leaders.
But as this year ends, the jihadist group's regional affiliates have dramatically reasserted themselves in multiple countries, carrying out spectacular attacks and inflicting increasing levels of carnage. Though it's hard to come by reliable estimates of the deaths they caused, the number is certainly in the thousands, and more than half a dozen countries now view these affiliates, or foreigners who have joined their ranks, as their top national security concern. The affiliates' regeneration became so apparent over the course of this year that President Barack Obama was forced to clarify that his administration's various claims of al Qaeda's decimation were limited to the core leadership in Pakistan alone.
Story Continued Below
The year began with France spearheading a military intervention to push back jihadist groups that had seized territory in northern Mali, an impoverished country in the bone-dry Sahel region of Africa. France's operation achieved some success, but a brigade led by Mokhtar Belmokhtar—who has pledged his loyalty directly to al Qaeda's senior leaders—seized more than 800 hostages in a retaliatory operation at Algeria's In Amenas gas complex. At least 39 foreign hostages were killed during the operation.
France's war in Mali also showed how deteriorating conditions in Libya, where the new government has never been able to assert its authority, help the jihadist cause. Some of the In Amenas attackers reportedly trained in southern Libya (where camps prepare militants for suicide missions, among other things), and used the country as a staging ground for the hostage-taking operation. And as France advanced on the battlefield, many jihadist fighters fled to southwest Libya, where they evaded pursuit by "blending with local militant groups," according to the Wall Street Journal.
The In Amenas siege began on Jan. 16. The following day, Iraq experienced its first double-digit casualty terrorist attack of the year, as a series of bombs targeting buses and their passengers struck in predominantly Shia areas. The bombings killed 19 and injured more than 100 people.
Iraq's death toll mounted throughout the year, driven by al Qaeda's blossoming capabilities. By the end of 2013, more than 6,000 Iraqis had died in violence, the highest level of fatalities since 2007, the peak year of Iraq's bloody civil war. As U.S. forces withdrew from Iraq two years ago, American and Iraqi officials expressed concern that al Qaeda was "poised for a deadly resurgence." Rather than proving alarmist, these warnings likely understated the speed and magnitude of the organization's rebound in Iraq.
Another al Qaeda franchise surged this year. The Somali militant group al-Shabaab, which once controlled more territory in southern Somalia than did the country's U.N.-recognized government, had lost its last major urban stronghold of Kismayo to advancing African Union forces in October 2012.
But Shabaab remained lethal. On Sept. 21, terrorists associated with the group launched a spectacular assault on Nairobi's Westgate Mall. The attack dragged on for four days, killing 67 and injuring at least 175. But even before that, there were signs that a complex operation like Westgate was possible, as Shabaab carried out increasingly sophisticated attacks throughout the year. These included an attack on a Mogadishu courthouse that killed 29, and a twin suicide bombing at Mogadishu's U.N. compound that claimed 22 lives.
In Syria, jihadists built on the gains they had made in 2012. Extremist groups like Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS) have proven to be some of the country's most effective rebel factions. As 2013 ends, jihadists have been able to gain full control over such cities and towns as Raqqa and Shadadi in the north. ISIS has become adept at the targeted use of violence against Raqqa's citizens, for the purposes of dominating and intimidating them as it implements a harsh version of Islamic law.
Further compounding concerns stemming from the Syria conflict, a recent study published by the International Centre for the Study of Radicalisation found that up to 11,000 foreign fighters have flocked to the battlefield to fight Bashar Assad's government, of whom around 2,000 are from Western Europe. This has sparked fears in their countries of origin that the fighters could pose a security threat if they return both radicalized and battle-hardened.

How to Crochet a Smart Scarf
This crocheted smart scarf is textured and bold. The smart scarf gets its tongue-in-cheek name because the pattern looks complicated but no one will believe how simple it is to make! Crocheted with loosely worked single crochet stitches, the scarf pattern is revealed as the yarn rolls out.
With the onslaught of new yarns available, creating spectacular-looking designs without having to be an expert is easier than ever, as this project shows. Grab your hook and yarn, and jump right in!
Here are this project's materials and vital statistics:
Yarn: Patons "CiCi" super-bulky-weight yarn (68% acrylic/32% nylon), Article #241064 (1.75 oz. [50 g], 37 yds [33 m] each skein): 5 skeins of #64040 Starry Night
Hook: Crochet hook size M-13 U.S. or size needed to obtain gauge
Measurements: 6 in. wide x 62 1/2 in. long
Gauge: 6 sts and 6 rows sc = 3 in.
Stitches used: Chain stitch (ch), single crochet (sc)
This yarn is an unconventional fashion yarn, but it really creates a fabulous fabric. Make sure to keep your stitches loose, and the bumps and lumps will pull right through. Just follow this stitch pattern:
Foundation chain: Ch 13.
Row 1: Sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc in each ch across (12 sc), turn.
Row 2: Ch 1, sc in each sc across (12 sc), turn.
Repeat Row 2 until scarf measures 62 1/2 in. or desired length. Fasten off.

A little about you:
I was an EFL teacher and was in the process of applying for a Primary Teaching course in England when my friend introduced me to Montessori. I hadn't heard that much about it and after observing at a school in London and speaking to the Montessori trainers, I felt this was the course for me!
Describe the course workload:
Although it was a lot of work, more than I expected, I really enjoyed it. As much as possible I tried to type up the notes on a daily basis to keep on top of things and that really helped. Other times I let myself have a night off and do something fun!
How well did the course prepare you to be a Montessori teacher?
I now have a new perspective not just of how I perceive children, but also of the role of the teacher. Ginni and Sarah have given me a strong theoretical understanding of child development and the Montessori materials and how we work with them in the classroom. It was great to have the opportunity to be in the same classroom for observations and practice teaching. I was able to get to know each child and able to make the connections between what we learned at during the lectures and what I observed during my practice teaching and observations.
Did you enjoy your training at MNW?
Absolutely! I can honestly say it has been a life changing, eye opening experience. I not only feel proud that I worked so hard during the course, but also honored to be a part of a form of education that respects the child and challenges me as a teacher to be as good a role model as I can be!
What were some unexpected challenges?
Working on the weekends. This made me a little sad at times, but it had to be done!
What were some unexpected highlights?
I didn't expect to meet so many amazing people. Like minded and wonderful!
Would you recommend this course to others?
Yes. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Need I say more!
Any advice for incoming students?
Find a nice, relaxing cafe with a plug socket for your computer and get your typing up to speed!
