Crucifixion Of Dr. McCaskill
With all of the venom that has been published about Dr. McCaskill there is no mention of the unprecedented academic success of students at Brooklyn Tech, during his many years of leadership. The selective investigation, exposure, exaggeration and prosecution of his so called wrong-doing represents raw racial politics at its worse. A man who has contributed so much to literally thousands of high school students should not be crucified on the mole hill of technical city residence. Why shouldn't the child of two educators saving the lives of literally thousands of NYC children be able to attend a NYC school for free?
The one-sided ethnic warfare between Blacks and Jews in the New York City School System is a 10,000 pound elephant in the room that everyone can see but no one dares to mention. In no instance is that more clear than in the case of the recent forced resignation of Dr. Lee McCaskill from his position of principal at the prestigious and academically excellent institution, Brooklyn Technical High School.
On February 7, 2006, New York Times writer Elissa Gootman who was once called by the Jewish publication, Forward Newspaper "Our leg woman in Israel," gloated in a headline, Brooklyn Tech Principal Resigns After Wrongdoing Is Found. The word "wrongdoing" refers to the fact that Dr. McCaskill, and his wife, who live in New Jersey, submitted a post-dated lease in an effort to claim NYC residency so that their daughter could attend public school in New York City for free. Yet Gootman's words, "wrong doing," are as much a confession as a condemnation since they are critical to distinguishing this negative article from a long list of preceding negative New York Times articles, about Dr. McCaskill.
In those articles no wrong doing was ever found. The frequency of these articles almost exclusively by Jews seemed to increase the more the academic performance of Dr. McCaskill's mainly non white and mainly non-Jewish students soared. The words "wrong doing" in Gootman's headline are crowing sounds celebrating an ethnic victory. They translate to the words "We finally nailed this Schvartze.� Gootman's article is no disconnected diatribe. It is the culmination of a decade long ethnic campaign.
One of the most scurrilous of these articles in this campaign was published, not in the Times, but in a newspaper called The New York Teacher under the byline Jim Callaghan in October of 2005. This article called Brooklyn Wreck, was then duplicated and distributed separately to parents of Brooklyn Tech Students on Open School Night by picketers of the historically Jewish-led teachers union, United Federation of Teachers. Despite the Irish byline the article's chief concern is what Callaghan termed "Jew Baiting.� Callaghan's article features a picture of Dr. McCaskill's assistant principal Ms. Tracy Atkins-Zoughlami in Muslim headgear next to McCaskill's picture - both prominently featured at the top of the page. Callaghan charges Zoughlami of Jew baiting because she, while serving as an English teacher, read to an English class a Poem by Amiri Baraka that Callaghan says features the lines, "Who told 4,000 Israeli workers at the Twin Towers / to stay home that day / Why did Sharon stay away?� Callaghan fails to mention that the poem attacks anti-Semitism, asking at one point, "who put the Jews in ovens/ and who helped them do it." Callaghan also neglects to mention that this same poem by Baraka laments the murder of various Jewish victims around the world with the lines "Who killed Rosa Luxembourg, Liebnecht/Who murdered the Rosenbergs/ And all the good people iced, tortured, assassinated, vanished.�
Callaghan's article quotes someone named Howard Gleich calling Dr. McCaskill "a Dictator," and someone named Andrew Silverman as saying Zoughlami and McCaskill "want to drive us from the school." The article faults Dr. McCaskill for disciplining a teacher who invited students over to his house for lunch without proper clearance from the school. Callaghan's article minimizes that teacher's error as being simply a "mitzvah he had performed for years" Who baiting?
The brunt of this ethnic press attack occurred over the last four years in articles published in the Times such as: "3 Say a Brooklyn Principal Sent Sexually Explicit E Mail,� with the bylines of Robert F. Worth and Andy Newman, dated October 4, 2002; "Evaluating a Brooklyn Principal, Measure for Questionable Measure,� bylined by Michael Winerip, dated January 15, 2003; and, "Principal Cleared of Sending Sex-Oriented E-Mail,� bylined by David M. Herszenhorn, dated March 8, 2003. Even though the last article exonerated Dr. McCaskill, it kept the negative talk swirling around him. One interesting thing found by investigators was that someone had hacked McCaskill's computer. Dirty Tricks of Warfare? Another article was, "Principal's War Leads to a Teacher Exodus,� (emphasis is this authors), bylined by Michael Winerip, dated January 28, 2004.
However, preliminary work in this four year attack on McCaskill appears to have been set up as early as 10 years ago in a piece titled, "Step Up Pressure On Issue of Overcrowding" by Jacques Steinberg published in the New York Times, January 15, 1996 . This article, ostensibly, about overcrowding in many NYC schools, alleges that overcrowding was such a big issue at Brooklyn Tech that teachers filed grievances for over 266 classes, about a fourth of those offered. The article ends with a paragraph that plays to later union accusations that Dr. McCaskill had destroyed several great traditions at Tech. At the end of the article Dr. McCaskill is noted as having "tried to offset increases in class size with ... budget-cutting measures, like paring the number of periods that advanced placement physics meets each week (6, down from 10 last year) and eliminating fourth-year French". McCaskill is quoted as saying finally, "I don't like the choices."
Little did McCaskill know at that time that the choices in this ethnic war would only get worse. An Article titled, "A Teacher's Compliments, Then a Sudden Critique,� bylined by Samuel G. Freedman was published in the New York Times on December 21, 2005. United Federation of Teachers President, Randi Weingarten is quoted as essentially admitting that back in June of 2005 she had white mailed Dr. McCaskill and his superiors with a draft or summary of the article that contained most of the material that would eventually appear in the piece "Brooklyn Wreck� by Callaghan.
Weingarten whose bio also lists her as serving on the board of directors of the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, admits that she met that June with Mr. Jean-Claude Brizard the current Executive Director of Secondary Schools for the City Department of Education. In a classic projection, Weingarten admits to using the article "as she discussed Mr. McCaskill's (sic) use of threat and intimidation." According to the article, when "she gave Mr. Brizard a summary of the as-yet-unpublished article. it was her hope…that the problems at Tech could be solved without the article's going into print." This was apparently meant to be an ADL style "horses head" offer that Mr. Brizard and Dr. McCaskill could not refuse.
However, the offer was refused. Dr. McCaskill made his choice. He would be a Black man and a principal, not a puppet for other ethnic interests. According to the Times, "Within one or two weeks of the time Mr. Brizard received the article summary, paperwork shows that Dr. McCaskill began the process of giving the year long U (unsatisfactory rating) to Ms. Lehrman (One of his detractors in the article with which Weingarten had confronted Brizard.) He also authorized Us for two other longtime teachers at Tech who were quoted in the article, Andrew Silverman and Anastasia Visbal.
Thus Dr. McCaskill became another martyr in the undeclared and very one-sided Jewish/Black ethnic war. The fatal blow delivered in Gootman's "Brooklyn Tech Principal Resigns After Wrongdoing Is Found� was not the final blow. Subsequent New York Times headlines have followed. Crucifixion is big news: "Principal Named At Brooklyn Tech,� bylined by Elissa Gootman, was published on February 8, 2006 and revealed that Mr. Randy Asher would take over Dr. McCaskill's job. Another article, "Investigator Rebukes City Schools Over Retirement of a Principal,� was bylined by Gootman again and published on February 15, 2006 and revealed that Special Commissioner for Investigation of the New York City School System and former NYC Police Commissioner under Mayor Koch, Richard J Condon believed that Dr. McCaskill should not have been allowed to settle his "wrong doing" with a simple resignation.
The article describes a classic case of selective investigation and entrapment. The article alleges that the investigation began because of a rumor—repeat, rumor, that had arrived to the department's general counsel that the McCaskill's daughter was attending a NYC public school. The article describes the Department of Investigation taking the trouble to follow and observe the McCaskills morning routine in two states. According to the Times, investigators were "watching as a green Ford registered to Mrs. McCaskill made its way from Piscataway through Perth Amboy, N.J., and Staten Island, traveling to Brooklyn over the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
Once in Brooklyn, they found, a girl with a blue book bag was dropped off at Ms. Sheares' home or at the home of another nearby friend, who would drop the girl off at P.S. 29." Condon's investigators and school officials did not stop there. Apparently after establishing that the McCaskills lived in New Jersey they encouraged him to provide proof of residence which was done in the form of leases signed by their friend and the McCaskills. Unfortunately the copyright on the lease forms they used, post dated the signatures. This post dating is what allowed the investigators and the reporter Gootman to refer to the leases as fake and false, etc.
Since Ms. Sheares is a lawyer Condon has said he will—Shades of Bob Abrams and Alton Maddox—forward his findings to the grievance committee of the appellate division of the New York State Supreme Court and the state court system's ethics commission. The article further quotes Condon as saying that the records of this investigation will be forwarded to the District attorney and as also recommending that McCaskill be placed on a list where he will be barred from future employment.
It also quotes Condon as calling for the firing of McCaskill's wife from her job as a teacher at Boys and Girls High School. Clearly these measures are harsh. Take Dr. McCaskills job. Ensure he never works again. Fire his wife. Slap him with a $19,441.00 dollar tuition bill. Go after his friend's license. Muddy his name in the press, etc. Yet another article appeared headlined, "A Teacher's Fall at a Turbulent School,� bylined by Samuel G. Freedman, on February 15, 2006. Here a Jewish scholar from Columbia University, seemingly rationalizes Condon's harsh treatment of the McCaskills.
In the exact same edition that the Times published Condon's harsh proposals, the Times published another story about a bipolar employee of a night school housed at Tech who sometimes worked for Brooklyn Tech as a substitute teacher and who according to those cited in the story was treated harshly by McCaskill. This second article also implies that this bipolar ex-employee was possibly distraught about allegedly being white listed from employment by Zoughlami and McCaskill. The article with just the most fragile of disclaimers also implies that McCaskill is somehow responsible for that person's subsequent suicide back in October of 2005! The overall implication of this four month old story coincidentally published on the exact same day that harsh punishments were urged for Dr. McCaskill is clear. McCaskill deserves Condon's old time religion. Crucify him!
The hypocrisy of proposing these harsh punishments for Dr. McCaskill is underscored by yet another article "Schools Give Employees Amnesty Over Tuition,� by David M. Herszenhorn, published February 16, 2006I. In this article Commissioner of Education Joel Klein is quoted as announcing amnesty for everybody else who has a child living outside of the five boroughs but attending a New York City school as Dr. McCaskill's daughter did. The only requirement is that the parent has to come forward by March 21st. The article quotes a person identified as David Cantor as stating that "It is probably not a really substantial number of people (who live outside of New York City but attend City Schools) or we would have heard about it."
What's the importance of offering an amnesty if there are not that many people doing it? Are Department of Education officials saying they haven't heard any rumors about anybody from any other ethnic group? At the Jamaica Station of the LIRR every white youngster with a nap sack of books getting off those trains from remote regions of the Long Island is probably going to a New York City Public School and they don't live in the five boroughs. Check out that rumor. If investigators take note of the color of their nap sacks instead of just the color their skins, if investigators follow them and their parents and apply the rules as strictly as they did to Dr. McCaskill, then the casualty list in this Ethnic war will no longer be all Black as it now is.
With all of the venom that has been published about Dr. McCaskill there is no mention of the unprecedented academic success of students at Brooklyn Tech, during his many years of leadership. The selective nvestigation, exposure, exaggeration and prosecution of his so called wrong-doing represents raw racial politics at its worse. A man who has contributed so much to literally thousands of high school students should not be crucified on the mole hill of technical city residence. Why shouldn't the child of two educators saving the lives of literally thousands of NYC children be able to attend a NYC school for free?
The amnesty announced by Mr. Klein for everyone but the McCaskill's is designed to protect whites and Jews who cannot stand up to the standard they set specifically for Dr. McCaskill to move him out of a position of leadership. Commissioner of Education Klein should be setting the example to stop blatant ethnic chauvinism that is fueling the literal pogrom against Black leadership at Brooklyn Tech and other educational institutions in this City. The majority of the students at Brooklyn Tech are non-white and non-Jewish and benefited from not only the academic leadership of Dr. McCaskill but also from the model of Black leadership and excellence that he represents. These students and their parents should not be asked to accept an ethnic hit then trust that the new principal will be just as good as Dr. McCaskill, only a little more Jewish. Mr. Asher should not have been asked to, and cannot be expected to, fill the void of Dr. McCaskill's absence.
If Mr. Klein cannot provide the answers to the questions raised in this case then the Black community must. How much did the entrapment and selective super-investigation of Dr. McCaskill cost tax payers? Who provided the rumors that sparked the investigation? Was it the Anti Defamation League of B'nai B'rith, the Jewish organization prosecuted and fined for spying and keeping tabs on virtually thousands of prominent Blacks and Black organizations around the country and trading this information with law enforcement agencies both domestic and foreign? The techniques used to smear Dr. McCaskill are classic ADL. Does Randi Weingarten's high level association with the ADL have anything to do with that? Why was Dr. McCaskill entrapped to provide physical evidence of his NYC residency if the department had already been trailing him and his family daily into South Jersey? These are questions that need answering. Who Crucified Dr. McCaskill and what are Mr. Klein and Mr. Bloomberg going to do about it besides screaming "Give Us Barabas"?

Keep It Up
This story appears in the July 2000 issue of Entrepreneur. Subscribe »
Joe Elias has a lot going on. He's trying to get a brand new business, Write For Hollywood, off the ground. At the same time, he's figuring out how to offer script-evaluation services to aspiring screenwriters over the Internet. He's working to manage a score of freelance script readers. He's reading, critiquing and editing scripts himself. Finally, the 24-year-old is trying to do the same thing as the customers of his two-person Redondo Beach, California, start-up-namely, marketing a script of his own.
The last may be the toughest of all. "I read recently that the odds of selling a screenplay in Hollywood are something like 1 in 200,000," says Elias. "And I'm right there with most of our clients, trying to do some writing myself."
Elias is a classic example of a Juggler, one of five entrepreneurial types identified by a nationwide study of small-business owners for Pitney Bowes Inc. by Yankelovich Partners. Twenty percent of the entrepreneurs surveyed are Jugglers, which means they exhibit unusually high energy levels but con-stantly feel under pressure. That's probably because, more than other types of business owners, they try to do a lot, if not everything, themselves.
Other characteristics of Jugglers are an abiding concern with cash flow and a high degree of personal involvement in their businesses. They're uncomfortable with relinquishing control, are constantly looking for ways to boost business and tend to get impatient with suppliers who, they often feel, aren't offering them a good deal for products and services.
Elias, who started his company after three years working as a script reader for Hollywood movie studios, feels the Juggler cap is a good fit. "They hit it pretty much on the head as far as me being worried about cash flow and the growth of the business and wanting to bring the business to a point that I don't have to worry so much about getting the word out," he says. One thing Elias learned from the survey: He probably worries too much, especially about the fact that many screenwriters don't know that services like his exist.
When not writing, Elias stays busy trying to publicize and promote his Website, www.writeforhollywood.com-as well as keep it fresh and inviting-and keep his freelancers productive. Fortunately, he has a lengthy supply of another Juggler attribute: optimism. That, plus his interest in a number of fields, gives him the perspective, flexibility and confidence necessary to find a niche, one way or another.
"I have a realistic optimism," says Elias. "I do think we'll be around. It's just a matter of in what capacity."
Balanced Attack
The nature of most entrepreneurial types is to specialize. Jugglers? No. When asked how they spend their business time, Jugglers just couldn't make up their collective minds. Some did this, some did that, but a relatively equal percentage did each.
- Administrative details:
- Doing the work:
- Financing issues:
- Managing employees:
- With customers/selling: 31%

worker, Optimizer, Sustainer? Take the test and find out your
entrepreneurial type at www.pitneyworks.com.

I hope so too.
joba came thru yesterday. the youngsters are looking pretty good (no homo)
Soooooooooooo.....ARod did steroids in highschool and with the Yankees supposedly...Interesting...
Selena Roberts, I don't know if I trust a word of what she is saying. She supposed to be a respected journalist but I doubt it. She was the one that covered the Duke Lacrosse team scandal and she was heavily criticized for that. She see truth as it fits....BIATCH...
I'm actually really interested if she has legit evidence...Like i know she says she has yankee and highschool teammates who have told her, but it doesn't really do any good unless they will tell their names and publicly confirm what she said they have said...
So far the season has been a disaster. Really, that fat fart needs to start winning some games. Teix also needs to start hitting as he was not brought in for his defense.
The lineup needs A- Fraud badly. He is way to damn important for us.
His 1st at bat, got a 3 run homer.
Not to mention CC had a shutout.
Now thats what i want to see all season.
Why do they always lay an egg when you just starting to feel good about the team?
BREAKING NEWS: Mark Teixeira had a hit today. A HR. I know, I know. I can't believe it myself. Our Billion Dollar investment putting up MVP numbers, batting .198 for the season.
he's a notorious slow starter just give him time when the summer months hit he'll be fire, as he always is thats when we heat up anyways.
DaTPRiNCE...That EGYPTiAN Fella, #MeloMafia
3 Walk off homeruns, sweet.
Yankees look like theyre starting to get it going, finally.
We've been playing great ever since Alex came back. That ***** is earning his money.
lol thank you! bout time the yanks got on a nice roll
Damon, Arod, and Tex have been killing it.
Burnett;s putching is "meh", he needs to improve
CC looks well, Andy is ol reliable.
Yeah finally they woke up. Tex homer from both sides yesterday. Nice little w streak going. 6 and counting. C.C on the mound today.
YANKEES up by alot tonight. looks like we got this one. we're unstoppable.

Wanted to shake the legs loose a little, so opted to take the mountain bike out on some easy trails. Didn't press the pace too hard and just enjoyed cruising around in the woods out back.
Legs are feeling pretty great after the 50-miler. Though I've experienced it before, I'm still amazed at how much less trails beat you up. My quads in particular were so trashed after the Boston Marathon, and I couldn't walk down the the stairs normally for three days afterwards.
But after Pineland? Sure, my legs are sore, but it's really not that bad and stairs are not the enemy (from a favorite Ryan quote of mine). Where as with Boston running was out of the question for nearly a week afterwards, I feel I could have gone for a short and easy run today without consequence. That being said, I've learned my lesson several times on pushing things too soon, and even if the legs feel fine, there is often still some healing to be done.
So, I plan on taking tomorrow off and then resume some light running on Thursday. I'll slowly ramp up the mileage over the next few weeks and should still be able to get in some quality weeks of hard training before it's time to taper down for the Brookvale 50k at the end of July. Looking forward to it!
Mountain Biked 5.5 miles @ 9.7/mph avg.

Facebook IPO: Outraged investor cries grow louderMay 25, 2012: 3:29 PM ET
So it's been a week since Facebook (FB) went public and investors are getting angrier by the day. As Wall Street's losses mount, it's the smaller investors who want Facebook to 'show them the money!,' to quote Rod Tidwell (played by Cuba Gooding Jr.) in Jerry Maguire.
"I think we were all lied to and deceived about the value of FB from the very beginging (sic) and that something should be done to reimburse anyone who lost money no matter how small," wrote Phillip Randle, who added this possible solution: "I think all FB user on the site should start shutting down their accounts until they make this right."
But it's not just Facebook that they're mad at. Investors are also lashing out at lead underwriter Morgan Stanley (MS).
"I only had a few dollars to spend, hoping to see my little investment grow… WRONG!!!!! It seems I purchased at $42.00 a share, and I have yet to see where it was ever that much," wrote Kemberley Corbit. "What will Morgan Stanley do with the little people like me?"
And let's not forget Nasdaq (NDAQ), which is under attack for a glitch that held up Facebook's opening trade for 20 minutes, messing up and delaying investor orders, cancellations and confirmation for hours.
"Myself and at least one of my clients were burned by facebook," wrote Jonathan Brown, a financial advisor with USBancorp Investments (USB). "We had limit orders in place that were not filled in a timely manner and then orders that we were able to cancel before they were filled. All of us got caught by the lost momentum and the negative jet wash that has been created. I am holding on and waiting at this point to see if the negativity subsides and if their will be some restitution made by the underwriters and/or NASDAQ."
Yet, there was still one Pollyana among the pack. Seattle investor Bill Hoff bought 25 shares at $38 apiece, followed by an additional 75 at $39.90 when he saw the stock rallying. "I really thought this thing was going to be big," wrote Hoff. "I will wait it out though. I think ine (sic) day it will do good."

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need an advisor?
Prior to registering for classes, students must meet with their academic advisor to ensure that they're taking courses that fulfill their requirements. If you wish to register online, you must receive a registration PIN from your advisor. Advisors are here to help you get the most out of your time at WCSU, and can be a great resource for you in many ways.
Besides assisting you with course registration and planning, academic advisors are able to help when you have questions about academic policies and procedures, concerns about coursework, looking for tutoring or other campus services, and feedback about careers related to your major.
Do I have to do anything before I see my advisor? Is there anything I should bring with me?
This depends on you and your advisor. Some advisors expect you to arrive with your updated program sheet and proposed schedule already in hand, whereas others are less strict and may not require much preparation at all. It is important to discuss your advisor's expectations when you meet for the first time.
What is a "program sheet"? How do I get one?
All matriculated students should have a program sheet, which outlines courses you must take to fulfill your academic requirements. As you take courses at the university, you and your advisor will work with the program sheet to indicate your progress and determine which requirements you still need to fulfill. Think of your program sheet as a "roadmap" towards your academic goals.
Students should have received a program sheet from the Admissions Office if they transferred credits to WestConn from another school. This program sheet will indicate courses that will be taken at WestConn and those already completed.

Ex-Lloyds bank digital security chief 'submitted £2.5m in false exes'
Head of Fraud, indeed
A former Lloyds Banking Group head of digital banking fraud and security has been charged with defrauding her employer.
Prosecutors said that Jessica Harper had submitted false expenses claims that totalled £2.46m.
The Crown Prosecution Service's deputy head of the central fraud group, Andrew Penhale, said in a statement:
We have authorised the Metropolitan Police Service to charge Jessica Harper, the former head of fraud and security for digital banking at Lloyds Banking Group, with one count of fraud by abuse of position, contrary to section 1 of the Fraud Act 2006.
The charge relates to an allegation that between 1 September 2008 and 21 December 2011, Jessica Harper dishonestly and with the intention of making a gain for herself, abused her position as an employee of Lloyds Banking Group, in which she was expected to safeguard the financial interests of Lloyds Banking Group, by submitting false invoices to claim payments totalling £2,463,750.88, to which she was not entitled.
This decision to prosecute was taken in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors. We have determined that there is a realistic prospect of conviction and a prosecution is in the public interest.
Harper will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on 31 May, the CPS added. ®

What should I do with generated keywords?
Once Search Engine Visibility helps you identify keywords for your site, you need to incorporate them into your Web page content. Keywords give search engines an indication that the user's Web page is relevant to a particular search. Search engines also look for keywords in specific areas of a Web page.
Here are the areas of your site in which you should add the generated keywords:
- Meta Tags — Contain keywords, description, directions, and restrictions for search engine spiders. Meta tags do not affect how the page displays to visitors. For more information, see Adding tags to your website.
- Description — Defines Web page information search engines display when they list the site. The description meta tag should concisely explain the nature and contents of the Web page while using the keywords generated in Search Engine Visibility.
- Title and H1 Tags — Visible to your site visitors.
- Title Tag — Defines a Web page's name, which displays in the top bar of a Web browser. The title tag should include the Search Engine Visibility-generated keywords that represent the theme of the actual contents on the Web page. Many search engines pay particular attention to keywords in the title tag. As well, search engines generally display the title tag's contents in their site listings. It is best to keep your browser title less than 65 characters in length.
- H1 Tag — Describes what the Web page is about. The H1 — or header — should include relevant Search Engine Visibility-generated keywords. But, don't make it too long. Your H1 tag shouldn't be longer than a short sentence.
- Image Tag — Should include alt (alternate), title, and src (source) attributes. Search engines use the text in image attributes to categorize the images on your site, so they should contain relevant keywords.
- Site Text — Should be inviting, comprehensive, and — within reasonable limits — contain as many of the Search Engine Visibility-generated keywords as possible. Naturally incorporating keywords, and variations of keywords into content is the best approach."Stuffing" your content with keywords won't help, it may even hurt you. Google penalizes unnatural keyword use. For more information, see Search Engine Visibility FAQ
- Keyword URLs — Incorporating keywords into page URLs is also recommended. For example: http://www.coolexample.com/landscaping-secrets-to-stay-green.

Technical innovation is what makes Formula 1 so different from any other form of racing. The on track action is as much played out by the engineers and aerodynamicists as it is the drivers. We are here to admire, study, and discuss this beauty that exists on the ragged edge of what we think is possible, or at least what we thought was possible.
For more technical intrigue, be sure to check out this year's previous testing days.
Discussions and questions are welcomed and encouraged in the comments section below.
Testing Day 4 - Jerez, Spain
Red Bull
Notice the slots in the floor and the elongated strake leading up to the edge of the tire. These are what the teams have to now run, somewhat in excess due to the loss of the blown diffuser in an attempt to deal with tire squirt, the turbulent air running off the rotation of the tires.
The red arrow above is pointing to venting outlets that were made in a hurry. Red Bull, and their engine manufacturer Renault, are having quite a bit of trouble in Jerez; the former for cooling issues, and the latter with engine problems.
W05 rear end detail.
Rumor is that the Ferrari powered cars have the easiest time dealing with cooling; this is why Ferrari can sun such small sidepod and airscoop inlets relative to the rest of the field.
A small opening at the rear of the sidepods, just before the cooling exit, has appeared on the F14T.
Some overhead shots of McLaren's Wishbone Wings, Butterfly Suspension, Shroomspension, or whatever you want to call it, that came out from under the covers on day 2 of testing.
It becomes a bit easier to visualize how these aerodynamically designed wishbones work from this angle.
MP4-29 rear end detail. Along with the Shroomspension helping to replicate the beam wing in creating a conglomerate stream of upwash in coalition with the rear wing and diffuser, the Y75 winglet modified flow from the exhaust also helps to a degree.
Force India
The VJM07 pitot tube testing. Interestingly enough, the tubes seem to be pointing a bit inward, something I've not typically seen.
VJM07 rear end detail.
Sauber, along with Marussia, do not seem to be running a vertical strake at the corner of the sidepods.
Sauber are also running a Ferrari engine, and can get away with running substantially less cooling vents than either a Renault or Mercedes powered chassis.
Another rumor circling the paddock is that Williams will be running a Martini liveried chassis come the first race in Melbourne, though they will continue to run this blue paint up until the end of testing.

The Queens foundry owner caught attempting to sell a counterfeit Jasper Johns sculpture for $11 million in 2012 has plead guilty.
Brian Ramnarine, 58, owner of the Empire Bronze Art Foundry in Long Island City, was arrested in November 2012 for attempting to sell "1989 Bronze Flag" — a sculpture that he falsely advertised as a genuine work by American artist Jasper Johns, originally titled "Flag."
On Monday, the fifth day of his jury trial in Manhattan Federal Court, Ramnarine plead guilty for three counts of wire fraud.
"Brian Ramnarine is a serial fraudster who attempted to peddle not one but multiple fake sculptures in three separate fraud schemes – the last two of which occurred after he had already been arrested and was facing charges for the first," said Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. "Ramnarine now stands convicted and, with his admission of guilt, will pay for his fraud."
For his first count of wire fraud, evidence showed that in 1990 Johns gave the mold to Ramnarine and asked that he create a wax cast of the piece. Ramnarine made the cast and gave it to Johns, but did not return the first "Flag" mold.
Ramnarine allegedly told several members of the art world in 2010 that he owned the authentic work and even displayed the counterfeit "Flag" at an auction house that specialized in rare art. He then attempted to sell the sculpture for $11 million to several art collectors.
When one collector expressed doubts regarding the authenticity of the sculpture, Ramnarine provided fraudulent documents to show that the work was genuine. Ramnarine allegedly even provided a letter dated August 23, 1989, purportedly from Johns, stating that the sculpture was a gift from the artist himself.
In May of 2010, it was discovered that Johns never authorized the production of a mock sculpture nor did he transfer ownership to Ramnarine. He even forged Johns' signature on the back of the piece.
Ramnarine is also pleading guilty to two additional counts of wire fraud for his sales of bronze sculptures he falsely represented to be works from artists Robert Indiana and Saint Clair Cermin. The two schemes took place while Ramnarine was out on bail.
If convicted, Ramnarine faces a total of 80 years in jail, 20 years for the first count of wire fraud, and 30 years each for the other two counts.
Ramnarine's sentencing is scheduled for May 30.

If you read tech-centric websites on a regular basis, the talk of the town is smartphones and tablets. Rarely is attention given to featurephones, which despite the non-coverage, still command an important role in the marketplace. The Pantech Link is a no-frills featurephone that does exactly what Pantech made it to do – calling, messaging, and occasional web browsing. The neutral colors and design are sure to appeal to all demographics, and the QWERTY keyboard will likely catch the eye of those who want to message without purchasing a smartphone.
Design & Features
The Pantech Link ships with the device, battery, a travel charger, and instruction manuals. Coming in at 4.37 inches long by 2.03 inches wide by 0.61 inch thick, the device weighs 3.2 ounces, making it thin and light – great for anyone's pocket. The Link offers a 2.4-inch resistive touchscreen with 320 x 240 pixels and 242,000 colors. When using the Link for a long phone call, I found the unit to be quite comfortable against my ear and easy to hold, thanks to the lightweight nature of the phone.
The phone sports a clean and professional exterior. The left side of the device houses the volume rocker and microSD card slot, while the charging port that doubles as the headphone jack and a camera shortcut key can be found on the right side. The camera and external speaker can be found on the back of the device, while the QWERTY keyboard, navigation pad, send key, end key, speakerphone button, calendar/clear button, and two shortcut keys can be found on the front. The SIM card slot is located next to the battery (behind the battery door).
Usability & Performance
The Link's full QWERTY keyboard is excellent, and reminds me of something one would find on a BlackBerry. Arranged like a traditional QWERTY, it offers a good amount of tactile feedback thanks to the domed keys. After a few days of use, I was able to text message and e-mail with ease. As a featurephone, it's nice to see that Pantech put an emphasis on making the keyboard usable. Those that message on a regular basis will be very appreciative.
The device offers a 1.3-megapixel camera with a self-portrait mirror, and in my testing, picture quality was less than desirable. Due to the lack of a flash, the camera performed decently only in well-lit areas. Editing options include white balance (auto, daylight, tungsten, flourescent), effect (normal, sepia, negative, black and white), self-timer (off, five seconds, or ten seconds), picture size (from 320 x 240 to 1280 x 1024), and a few others. Video quality was equally poor. The camera will be decent for those looking to take a quick picture or record a video on the go, but it's not going to come anywhere close to replacing your existing camera.
The Pantech Link was tested in the Charlotte area using AT&T, and call quality was fantastic. Callers were able to hear me well, and there were no problems on my end. When visiting a known AT&T trouble spot in the Charlotte metropolitan area, there were no dropouts – the device consistently held one bar of service. When testing the speakerphone in a noisy department store, I was able to hear my callers without issue. Though they said that they could hear the shopping carts and loud people, it didn't prevent us from having a conversation. I successfully paired my Plantronics Voyager Pro Bluetooth headset to the device, and callers were unable to tell that I was using a headset.
The Link offers 3G UMTS/HSDPA connectivity (850/1900/2100 MHz) on AT&T, so browsing speeds were snappy. The mobile CNN webpage loaded in about 11 seconds, and the PhoneDog homepage loaded in 31 seconds. Other data-intensive tasks such as the AT&T GPS and Mobile E-Mail performed well.
The device offers a 930mAh battery with a rated talk time of 7 hours with HSDPA (3G) connectivity, and about 18 days of standby time. In my testing, the battery life was quite good. With moderate use including calling, text messaging, browsing the internet, and use of AT&T GPS, I was able to use it for three days before the Link powered down. It's a trooper when it comes to battery life, and is perfect for those who are often away from the office or the car.
A device like the Pantech Link is perfect for the crowd seeking a professional featurephone without the frills and/or high costs of a smartphone. My father, who is an investment banker, has no interest in carrying a smartphone ("I check e-mail all day; why do it in my free time?" is the typical response I get when I ask why he doesn't use one). Thanks in part to the fact that featurephones are regularly targeted toward the youth demographic, he's been pigeonholed into carrying teenybopper-esque phones. The fact of the matter is he doesn't see the need to pay the additional monthly fees for a smartphone, particularly when he has no desire for the constant connectivity. As a result, the clean look and strong performance of the Link would appeal to someone like him. From A to Z, the Pantech Link excels at everything it's marketed to do, and it's a device that I would recommend to anyone seeking a well-equipped featurephone at a great price.
