Didn't get the GCSE results you had hoped for? Listen, it's not the end of the world, so don't panic.
Sure, not achieving the marks which you might have anticipated can be terribly disappointing, and the thought of having to tell everyone how you did – especially those grinning pals who aced their exams – is enough to fill you with dread.
But while life would appear to be much rosier had you passed all your exams, there are still plenty of opportunities out there for you.
After GCSEs, you could continue studying subjects you like, take vocational qualifications, an apprenticeship, or work or volunteer while studying part-time.
GCSE grades not up to your expectations?
If you haven't done as well as you'd expected, there is a lot that can be done in the next few weeks to influence the future – but be prepared to take action now.
Maths and English are by the far the most important subjects. If you haven't passed one of them, speak to the head of sixth form or the college you hope to attend.
Plenty of schools and colleges offer classes to prepare you to re-sit these GCSEs or even provide alternative courses.
If that's not the case, check with other colleges in your area to see if they offer additional classes.
If it's just one grade below what is required to get into college, you can speak to the head of sixth form or the college you applied to – depending on take up of the course, they may still accommodate you with the lower grades.
Alternatively, they may still offer you a place, but on a different subject or course.
Need to do re-sits?
If you don't have the grades to go to college, you still have a number of different options.
You can re-sit one or more of the subjects you failed to help boost your overall grade, or if you think there was an error with the marking of your paper, you can ask for it to be re-marked. This can be arranged through your school, but you'll have to pay a fee, which will only be reimbursed if there is a grade change.
Courses and training
Colleges and training providers offer a wide range of training courses that are part-time, including A-Levels and work-related qualifications, such as BTECs or NVQs.
BTECs: These are vocational qualifications in subjects ranging from business studies to engineering.
NVQs: A National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) is work-related and designed to help you gain the skills and knowledge needed to do certain jobs
Maybe you've had enough of the classroom full-time and want to learn a new profession, trade or skill.
If that's the case, then an apprenticeship could be the way to go. Apprenticeships are proper jobs with proper training – you earn while you learn and pick up qualifications as you go.
The schemes take between one and four years to complete and run on three different levels.
A traineeship gets you ready for work or for doing an apprenticeship.
They last from six weeks to six months and provide essential work preparation in things such as training, literacy and numeracy skills and work experience to help you obtain an apprenticeship or other job.
Work or volunteer while studying part-time
There's always the option to combine training or studying for a qualification and work at the same time.
It doesn't need to be a paid job, either – you could volunteer to help out at a local project or with a charity, or get yourself a work-experience placement in a job area which appeals to you.
Need more advice?
If you want someone to talk to about the opportunities and options which may be open to you, the National Careers Service – www.nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk – can aid you.
You can contact an adviser by telephone on 0800 100 900 or use their online webchat service, which is available from 8am until 10pm every day.

ESOshop: Mounted image 164: Creating a Star
A laser beam shoots out of Yepun, the fourth Unit Telescope of Europe's flagship observatory, ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT). This beam is used to create an artificial star above Paranal to assist the adaptive optics instruments on the VLT. Adaptive optics is a technique that allows astronomers to overcome the blurring effect of the atmosphere and obtain images almost as sharp as would be possible if the whole telescope were placed in space, above Earth's atmosphere.
Adaptive optics, however, requires a nearby reference star that has to be relatively bright, thereby limiting the area of the sky that can be surveyed. To overcome this difficulty, astronomers at Paranal use a powerful laser that creates an artificial star where and when they need it (see eso0607 and eso0727).
Launching such a powerful laser from a telescope is a state-of-the-art technology, whose set-up and operation is a continuous challenge. As seen from the image, this is, however, a technology now well mastered on Paranal. The image was taken from inside the dome of the telescope and reveals nicely how the laser is located on top of the 1.2-metre secondary mirror of the telescope.Credit:

Rohan Ramnath was +9 on the weekend (Harvard Athletic Communications).
By Kevin Rhoads, head coach, and Daniel Joseph, assistant coach
After a productive and memorable experience during their Spring Trip in Scottsdale two weeks ago, the Crimson returned to Tempe for Arizona State University's Thunderbird Classic April 5-7. Going back to Arizona gave the Harvard Men a great opportunity to play in great conditions, against top competition, and on a difficult golf course. After only being to play one full round outdoors between Spring Break and this trip, scoring low was going to be a good challenge. Low numbers or not, it was certainly going to be a great opportunity to move their games forward and test themselves. The Pete Dye-designed ASU Karsten Golf Course is visually intimidating and purposely narrow in landing areas, requiring precise shot-making and proper course management and commitment. Accompanying the visual difficulty of course, the greens were firm, fast, and sloped with dropoffs and water surrounding many greens. There were even some severe pin positions thrown in. Needless to say, it was a true test of golf for the entire field and challenged the Crimson each day.
The weekend proved to be challenging for the Crimson, though there were some bright spots. Day 2 was highlighted by a 6 shot improvement from Day 1 by McCarthy who managed his game nicely with a 1 over par round of 72. Ramnath continued his strong play with a birdie and 14 straight pars after a tough opening hole to finish at 73 on the day. Lederhausen (76), Mirchandani (77), and Lai (84) made positive strides going into Day 3 of the event. The Crimson lost a little ground with a 298 score on Day 2 to fall to 15th place; however, they were only 3 shots behind hosts Arizona State.
On Day 3 Harvard was looking for a good round to improve their position, but the combination of the toughness of the golf course and still being slightly rusty made it difficult to move up the leaderboard. The good parts of their game still were on display, as Harvard finished Saturday and Sunday's rounds with a combined 16 birdies and an eagle between them. However, balancing off the good scores were too many bogeys or higher scores. Nobody escaped without making a score of double-bogey or higher in the final round, and some had more than one. Tougher pin positions and the desire to go lower required greater execution and commitment, and the Crimson were not able to find the next gear. Lederhausen and McCarthy both shot 75 with rela tively clean cards, but each had one or two high numbers. Ramnath made four birdies but shot 77 due to scores on three holes. Lai shot 79 and Mirchandani had 80, with neither avoiding a high number. The team would finish Day 3 remaining in 15th place out of 18, but knowing there was huge opportunity in each of their rounds.
The Crimson's goal moving forward is to build on the considerable positives from Arizona, and slowly keep sharpening the other areas of their games. As they continue to get the winter rust off, the high scores will melt away. The Crimson returned to Cambridge on a redeye Monday morning, and will now turn their attention back towards school and preparing for this weekend's Princeton Invitational at Springdale Golf Club in New Jersey. Though they'll miss the weather, it will be good to return to more familiar environs.

The Benefice of Cinderford with Littledean was formed in December 2010. The benefice covers Cinderford, Littledean, Ruspidge and Soudley and is part of the Forest South Deanery within Gloucester Diocese. The Benefice serves the community of Cinderford and the surrounding areas.
The benefice includes three parishes: St Ethelbert's, Littledean; St John's, Cinderford, Ruspidge and Soudley and St Stephen's, Cinderford.
The three Parish churches within the benefice offer a variety of service styles according to a range of church traditions, but all are friendly and offer a warm welcome. Please look at the individual church pages for more information and service times or contact us for more information.
Previously the benefice also included St Michael and All Angels, a licensed place of worship in Soudley, and Bilson Mission, a licensed place of worship in Bilson; however, these buildings are now closed.
The Vicar of the Benefice is Mike Barnsley, who started his time here on 4 March 2011. Mike enjoys being situated at the heart of the Cinderford community at The Vicarage on Belle Vue Road. You may have seen Mike out and about around Cinderford and the Forest on his Harley. Mike would love to meet you for a chat or a prayer. Contact him on (01594) 822286 or send a message.

Monday already? Well, there's good stuff out there.
William Kristol and Peter Wehner, even though using the polite language of statesmen, have delivered a scathing indictment against our absent commander in chief. Considering that Obama is indeed the CIC, court-martial for dereliction of duty doesn't seem unreasonable. Unfortunately, I don't think we'll even get impeachment.
I know that, for many, the Constitution these days is just passé. (I mean, if the leader of the House Dems can't understand it, who can?) David Rivkin and Andrew Grossman try to resuscitate that vital document in the context of the Left attack on the right to bear arms.
Roger Simon deftly ties together Dr. Benjamin Carson and the racism that still poisons the heart of the Democrat party.
Upon hearing the Pope Benedict is retiring, CNN has leaped into the fray with inchoate conspiracy theories and claims that the child abuse scandal is driving Benedict out. I have absolutely no doubt, though, that the Pope spoke the truth when he said his health, mental and physical, is the reason he is retiring. One of the things I've seen watching my Mom and her friends age is that, just as the first 18 or so years of a person's life are a time of incredibly rapid change, so too are the years after 80 for most people (and Benedict is 85). For my mother, her 80th birthday was like stepping off a cliff — within months, she went from vital elderly, to decrepit old. And it's not just my Mom. It's the norm at her retirement home. Just as the very young grow up at warp speed, the very old age at warp speed. I think that Benedict is wise to arrange for an orderly transition and, even more important in these times, is making sure to have a say in the Papacy's future direction.
Had it been an injured Israel, the Palestinians would have ripped him to shreds and bathed their hands in his blood. Because it was an injured Palestinian, the Israeli Defense Force acted rapidly to save his life.
If Wolf Howling writes it, it's good. So when he turns his eye to the subject of the Obama administration's war on children and family, with ammunition supplied by ObamaCare, you know it's a post you'll want to read.
Have you guys come across anything interesting? This is an Open Thread.

Members are more likely to invite lost friends. Peripheral members become involved. And Christians joyfully rediscover the outreach purpose of the church.
Imagine what would happen if your church began lots of new classes this year. Need some fresh ideas?
-- Life changes offer opportunities for new classes. Provide a small group for expectant parents or engaged couples. (They will evolve into new parents' and newlyweds classes.) How about a class for recent retirees or college students? If your youngest adult class has aged a bit, add a new class for younger adults.
-- Your church ministries may provide opportunities for new small groups. Example: A church with weekday childcare could invite those parents for a new class.
-- Consider establishing a new small group for each decade of adults. Fresh new classes attract newcomers and others who do not currently attend. Provide a list of new members who aren't active in a small group, as well as recent guests and uninvolved church members. Advertise the new class in your community.
-- Look at growing areas in your church. If the youth group is exploding, you might begin new small groups for parents of middle or high school students.
-- Look at "holes" in your current attendance. What groups of people are uninvolved? What segments of your community are untouched? What types of new classes would include overlooked people? Example: About a third of adults in your town are unmarried (see www.census.gov). Are you organized to reach them?
-- Kick off a targeted new group with a themed study. For example, if there are lots of artists in your town, the class could begin with a short study of biblical art.
-- Ask church members to submit suggestions about needed small groups along with ideas for leaders and names of people that might attend.
-- Challenge current classes to multiply themselves. The current teacher shares responsibilities and helps train a co-teacher, and then some group members go with that teacher to begin a new class. Small groups in our church plant are committed to reproduce regularly, and 24 new Christians have been baptized as a result.
It's a new year. Will your church make an intentional plan to reach new people for Christ by establishing new small groups?

Litquake, the Mill Valley Film Festival, and Fleet Week: three hot San Francisco area events you can't afford to miss.
On your Mark? Get ready: October is upon us and San Francisco explodes with the most entertaining options and awesome events.
See Jack. See Jane. Have fun at Litquake October 7-15
Jack Boulware and Jane Ganahl are the literary royalty who generously bestow upon San Francisco the most fun, novel, urbane, much anticipated literary event of the year. With over 850 authors reading, reciting and entertaining in bars, cathedrals, barbershops, hotels and libraries you'll be amused, amazed and lucky to be there.Check it out.
Venues include San Francisco's Make Out Room, Z space, the Beat Museum, Tosca, Book Passages and Booksmith – and a galaxy of other unusual and eclectic sites. In the past, events have been held at the seediest dive bar for Noir Lit, an elegant champagne bar for Chick Lit, and a majestic cathedral, atop Nob Hill, for a lineup of absolutely incredible poets.
The Elements of Style
Think of Litquake as Burning Man with clothes, no dust, no scorching temperatures… just art at the highest form replete with great verbs, nouns and applause. Plan, plot, and scheme your literary trek.
The Mill Valley Film Festival
Mill Valley is a quick drive over the bridge. The tiny town hosts the world-class film Festival, October 6-16, 2011. Last year, James Franco of 127 Hours the rock and hard place film, was the lauded star; this year Glenn Close (watch one season of Damages and you'll immediately remember just how brilliant she is) will be feted.
Volunteer for the film festival and meet new people -legions of ladies volunteer -and floods of people attend the internationally-acclaimed event. It's a "do not miss." Plan your time wisely as the Mill Valley Film Festival dates conflict with Litquake.

What a great end to the week. I received 2 big 'guardian grandmas' donations from Kate and Sandra W.
Kate (of Stitches, Scraps and Sparkles in the Sun) sent a stuffed bag full of adorable baby hats - 50 to be exact. 50!! Wow Kate - you've certainly been busy and I thank you so much!! ♥
The next donation is from Sandra W. Sandra has also been busy. Look at these gorgeous baby blankets! I love them! I have to say though - if I was a baby, I would love to have that pink and orange blanket - it's so soft and squishy!!
(if I'm not mistaken, it's crocheted with Bernat Baby Blanket yarn)
These 2 soft and squishy blankets are crocheted with the same type of yarn.
I absolutely love this classic granny square blanket.
I love this blanket too - so pretty.
Thank you so much Sandra and Kate! I appreciate all of the hard work you've put into these beautiful donations. ♥
My sister Laura and I are getting things ready for the Haunted TeePee at the campground. As you may remember, our sister Teri used to be the "Mistress of Horror" and she thoroughly enjoyed it. When she passed away at the end of 2012, we all decided to carry on in her name. Last year was my first time participating and I'm definitely not a Halloween-scary type person, but I did have fun. Scaring people is fun - watching them scream and hug each other, but not the little kids - I didn't scare them. Who brings their small children into a Haunted TeePee anyway? I'm talking about children that are small enough to be carried and are already crying before they even get in the place. Makes absolutely no sense to me. Well anyways - I've got most of the costumes washed and hanging up in garment bags. If you count the hangers, you can see that there is 16.
Here are some masks that I washed. Vince strung up a line so I could hang them out to dry. Today I will be brushing them.
Do you think I should use this baby to show off all my crocheted baby items? Ha-ha.
(pay no attention to me - I was sick for the last day and a half)
Tex and Ladybug have a new friend. Actually, Tex didn't even bother with it - Ladybug kept sniffing it and trying to turn it over. I wonder what she was thinking?
Since I'm going to be busy with the Haunted TeePee preps, I probably won't be around blog-land too much. Laura and I have a few trips to make to the campground and internet service is not good there at all since we are in the woods.
'guardian grandmas' donations will be posted, and emails/questions will be answered when I'm able.
See ya when I can. :)

Error 80154080 occurs when making a purchase on Xbox 360
You see the following error code and message when you try to make a purchase on your Xbox 360 console:
This action cannot be performed at this time. Please try again later. For more information, go to http://www.xbox.com/support.
Status code: 80154080
To resolve this problem, try the following solutions.
Solution 1: Check the Xbox Live service status
If you see any alerts here, wait until the service is up and running and try again:
Solution 2: Check your billing address
Make sure that the billing address for your Microsoft account matches the billing address you use with your credit card company. Also, make sure that your card's expiry date hasn't passed. Here's how:
- Sign in to the Payment & billing page with your Microsoft account.
- If you don't know your Microsoft account email address or password, use the Lost Account Solution or the Lost Password Solution.
- Select Billing info, and then follow the steps to review your billing information.
Note If there's an error, select Edit profile, and then follow the instructions to update the information.
Solution 3: Contact your bank or financial institution
The purchase might have failed because:
- The credit card has not been activated.
- The credit card was declined due to insufficient funds.
- The credit card is not authorised for online purchases or automatic billing.
- The credit card company is blocking the transaction.
Contact your credit card company or bank and make sure that the card was activated, that it has available funds and that the transaction is not being blocked for some reason.
Solution 4: Try your purchase again later
The purchase might be blocked because:
- Too many recent purchase attempts were declined.
- The Microsoft account or the payment option is being used from a suspicious location.
- The payment option you provided has a violation for non-payment that's preventing it from being used for new purchases.
Wait and try the transaction again in 24 to 48 hours. If a number of purchase failures occur, this can prevent transactions from being processed until no purchase attempts have been made for a while (usually 24 to 48 hours).
Solution 5: Use an Xbox gift card
An alternative way to make purchases is to buy an Xbox gift card from a retailer and use it to make purchases. Note that not all purchases allow use of gift cards or prepaid options. Before purchasing an Xbox gift card, make sure that purchase option is available for the item you want to purchase.

Explainer: Six frontiers for alien life
In "The Day the Earth Stood Still," a remake of the 1951 science-fiction classic, an alien named Klaatu (played by Keanu Reeves, right) visits Earth to save us humans from ourselves. The story is a work of science fiction, with the emphasis on fiction, says Seth Shostak, a senior astronomer at the SETI Institute and a technical adviser on the film. For example, to be able to detect a dangerous buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere and come save us from global warming, an alien that could travel at light speed would have to reside no more than about 50 light-years away. "I doubt that there are any aliens that close," Shostak says. And even if there are, "they might not care about our problems."
Scientific accuracy aside, Shostak says the film could hook a new generation on space science, just as the original film helped direct his career, which is dedicated to the search for E.T. As kids stumble out of the theater, they might ask, do aliens exist?
Click the "Next" arrow above to explore the evidence, from the scientifically plausible to the incredible.
With so many stars, alien life is probable
Shostak notes that there is no direct proof for any life beyond Earth, but the universe is home to a lot of stars. And as research over the past decade has shown, perhaps at least 50 percent of those stars harbor planets. Shostak estimates there are 1 trillion planets in the Milky Way alone. "Surely some of them have undergone what Earth has undergone and developed life, and eventually what we call sentient life," he says. The argument, he notes, is simply one of probability. "If we are the only intelligent beings in the galaxy, or for that matter in the universe, then we are truly a miracle," he says. This image from the Hubble Space Telescope shows a cluster of young stars in the Milky Way.
Water worlds abound in our solar system
Water is a key ingredient for life as we know it. And liquid water, it turns out, is fairly common in our local solar system. For example, evidence is mounting that liquid water may flow underneath the surface of Mars. Europa, a moon of Jupiter, appears to have a liquid ocean. So too might the Jovian moons Callisto and Ganymede. Saturn's moons Titan and Enceladus, shown here, may be watery. Even Venus might have a bit of liquid water in its atmosphere. "There you already have seven other worlds that might have liquid water, just in our backyard. So that's kind of encouraging news," Shostak says.
Life evolved 'quickly' on Earth
Scientists estimate that planet Earth is about 4.5 billion years old. The earliest evidence for life comes from 3.4 billion-year-old mats of bacteria called stromatolites in Australia. Since even bacteria are biologically complex, scientists think they arose from life forms that got a foothold on Earth even earlier. "That suggests it wasn't terribly improbable, the evolution of life, because it happened very quickly," Shostak says. The caveat, of course, is that Earth could have won the evolutionary equivalent of the lottery, and no place else is quite so lucky.
Life thrives in extreme environments
Almost everywhere scientists go on Earth, they find life: the cold, dark depths of the oceans; snuggled up to piping-hot hydrothermal vents; buried under the Antarctic ice; and in South America's parched Atacama Desert. "Life can adapt to really tough conditions and, of course, most of the universe is going to be filled with habitats that are tough," Shostak says. For example, Mars is a harsh environment, but some of the microbes found on Earth, including the one shown here found deep in a mine, could survive beneath the surface of the Red Planet, he notes. These findings of so-called extremophiles have allowed scientists to scale back their list of requirements for extraterrestrial life. "We just say it has to have some liquid water, and maybe that's it," Shostak says.
E.T. might be calling from afar
Shostak and his colleagues at the SETI Institute frequently harness some of the world's largest radio telescopes to home in on distant stars for a telltale signal of alien communications. Although their searches have raised a few alarms, the signals have been dismissed as human-caused interference, such as noise from a passing satellite. Contact remains elusive. Undaunted, the scientists keep searching. Meanwhile, a signal detected on Aug. 15, 1977, during a search with Ohio State University's Big Ear Observatory, continues to pique interest because it has never been explained. "It was impressive enough to encourage the astronomer who found it to write 'Wow!' on the printout," says Shostak. Follow-up experiments to detect it again, however, have failed. "You can say it was E.T. and then he went off the air. You may never know," Shostak says. "But it is not science to say it was E.T."
Some see evidence that 'aliens' have visited
Somewhere around half the people in the U.S. believe that aliens have already visited us. To back their claims, witnesses have presented snapshots of flying saucers and debris from crash landings. None of the evidence, however, convinces Shostak. Nor does he buy into theories that the world's governments are coordinated and efficient enough to collectively keep what would be the world's biggest secret. "That's hard for me to believe," he says. Such doubt does little to stop the tide of tourists coming to places such as Roswell, N.M., the site of a purported UFO crash more than 60 years ago. This fake alien at a museum is a commonly photographed attraction.

My favorite part of this story was when the monster took a bubble bath because his hair stood up. The illustrations seem real. The pictures are colorful and silly. When I read this book I felt surprised. I thought it would be scary, but it was really funny.
All first grade and second grade kids who love monsters will love this book. My friend liked the book because the monster is friendly, not mean. I liked it too.

Polyvore Finally Arrives on the iPad — The Device It Was Really Made For
Like many websites built on user-created content, only a fraction of Polyvore's 20 million monthly visitors — about five percent — actually contribute their own designs to the personal style platform.
But those contributions — which entail organizing images of clothes, accessories and home decor products into outfits and interior design arrangements known as "sets" — are what keep the majority of passive users coming back.
Up to now, those creators have used drag-and-drop functionality on desktops and laptops that works fine enough. On Polyvore's iPhone app, they've been able to move products around in a smoother way with finger swipes, but the limited screen size is less than ideal.
With the launch of its iPad app today, Polyvore is giving its current creators a more attractive canvas to design on. And its passive users get a more enjoyable browsing — and, perhaps, shopping — experience.
The app also gives Polyvore a medium with which it can generate incremental sales across its different revenue streams. Brands that currently create their own collages and pay to have Polyvore feature them, or that just advertise a specific product to drive transactions, can now extend their campaigns to the iPad in a more native way than on a mobile Web experience.
Polyvore also makes money from affiliate links, when its users discover a product on Polyvore and click through to a third-party site to purchase it. It's not a stretch to imagine that conversion will be higher on the iPad app, if broader e-commerce trends are any indication.
So, why is a company that was founded in 2007 just launching an iPad app now? CEO Jess Lee said that Polyvore made the iPhone app its first priority, because it was seeing more mobile Web traffic from that device than from iPads.
Lee wouldn't comment on her company's revenue, but said that Polyvore is both cash-flow positive and profitable. The company has raised more than $22 million from Benchmark Capital, Harrison Metal and Goldman Sachs.

Redesigning Cervelo.com: A design study
Disclaimer upfront: I am in no way affiliated with or employed by Cervelo.
I love endurance sports, especially running and cycling. Last year I bought a road bike (if you're interested, I bought a Cube Peloton). Whilst researching which bike to buy, I also looked at Cervelo, because they build kick-ass gorgeous bikes. But unfortunately they don't really make starter bikes (which is why I went with the Cube). What struck me about their site though, was that it wasn't in line with their beautiful bikes at all. It looked like their site was designed in the 1990s or something. (Please note that Cervelo recently redesigned their site, which looks much better than the old one IMO.)
I thought I could do better. So I started out creating a new site design for Cervelo.com as a design study. You can check out the final design in my portfolio: Page 1 | 2 | 3
Design thoughts
Cervelo uses very strong colours in their marketing material and I didn't want to change that. The black with bright red and white is very recognizable as the "Cervelo colours" in the peloton. A material Cervelo uses a lot is carbon. I wanted to use that texture as well in the main design, so the overall background of the site has a carbon texture.
I wanted to use a big header image on all pages, to really show-off Cervelo's amazing bike design. By taking a small part of a larger image of a bike you'll get a sort of abstract feel to the image, which was exactly what I was looking for.
The navigation on the old site was very confusing, so one of the first things I changed was the main navigation. A big navigation bar with strong colours and relatively big type. I incorporated a big dropdown to get easy access to all of Cervelo's bikes. Also, through a carousel on the homepage it is very easy to get to all the bikes right from the homepage.
The bike detail pages were very long and cluttered with information. To streamline these pages, I opted for a short introduction about the bike, grouped together with a small image gallery. The rest of the information can be accessed through a tabs-system at the bottom of the page.
Let me know what you think!

The £1,049 laptop will be the first computer Google has made itself, and will come with a terabyte of online storage.
Google Chromebooks use an operating system called Chrome OS and encourage users to adopt the web for as much of their computing as possible, including using Google's online services such as email, as well as Google Docs and Google Music.
Although Chromebooks are increasingly useful offline, they only function fully with a web connection. Previous models have been made by Samsung, Acer, Lenovo and HP and have captured up to 10 per cent on notebook sales at Currys and PC World. Samsung's model has also been the top seller on the Amazon chart of US laptops since it launched late last year. The addition of offline email access has been a major boost for the previously struggling line.
The Pixel will be the first touchscreen Chromebook on the market, which will see it challenge Windows 8 and, Google claims, make it easier to multitask with different apps and swipe through photographs.
In a blog post for Google, Linus Upson, Vice President of Engineering, emphasised the high quality of the design, and released pictures of a device that takes its inspiration from the generation of ultrabooks that came after Apple launched its aluminium MacBook Pro and MacBook Air ranges.
Google's previous Chromebook has been an American bestseller
Upson claimed that the Pixel "brings together the best in hardware, software and design to inspire the next generation of Chromebooks. We set out to rethink all elements of a computer in order to design the best laptop possible, especially for power users who have fully embraced the cloud. The philosophy of Chrome has always been to minimize the "chrome" of the browser. In much the same way, the goal of the Pixel is to make the pixels disappear, giving people the best web experience."
Google is aiming to take on Apple's high quality display, which the iPhone-maker markets as 'Retina', by offering a screen with 239 pixels per inch. Google claims this is "the highest pixel density of any laptop screen on the market today". Apple's retina display MacBooks offer around 220ppi, and some experts claim that even this is at a level beyond that which the human eye can see.
Upson added that the emphasis on design meant "the body of the Pixel is made from an anodized aluminum alloy to create a smooth and durable surface; vents are hidden, screws are invisible and the stereo speakers are seamlessly tucked away beneath the backlit keyboard. The touchpad is made from etched glass, analyzed and honed using a laser microscope to ensure precise navigation."
The Pixel is powered by an Intel Core i5 Processor and uses solid stade memory. A 4G version will launch in America in April, while in the UK it will be sold online and via Currys and PC World.

Let's rush past the ho-ho-ho's of the season and get right to 2014. There's a list longer than Santa's of those who can't wait for the new year.
First, sing "Auld Lang Syne," you woebegone 'Skins.
A new year, a new coach, a new attitude? Anything new might help this football team. But the record over the past dozen years suggests that anything new will bring at best fleeting success.
In spite of the record, in spite of the controversy over the name and in spite of being tired of being disappointed, the Notebook awaits the next year. It reminds us of the old saying, "Fool me once…"
And keeping with the sports theme, let's toast good fortune to our Nationals baseball team. At the start of 2013, the squad believed its World Series hype after a dramatic playoff run in 2012.
We know how that turned out. Already the preseason hype is saying that under new manager Matt Williams the team has the best pitching rotation in baseball. Williams was a slugger for the Giants, Diamondbacks and Indians. Now he has become the fifth manager in the Nats' young history.
In November, here's what Williams said about his style: "This is not a situation where you come in and something is clearly broken that needs to be fixed," Williams said. "What I can say is that there are some things we can refine. I think we can play a little bit smarter baseball. I think we can use the tools that are given to us a little better."
Here's my Little League interpretation of that: Hey players, keep your heads down, don't forget the fundamentals and leave the prognostications to the guys in the press box.
If you can't wait for spring training — which is just outside of Orlando in 2014 — here's a link to the team's holiday "Offseason's Greetings": nationals.com/happyholidays.
■ The political calendar. The new year is coming up fast for the candidates in the mayor's race.
Jan. 2 is the deadline for submitting voter petitions to get on the April 1 primary ballot. Mayor Vincent Gray has ended his Hamlet-like indecision on running again.
"To be [a candidate], or not to be: that is the question: Whether … to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune, or to take arms against a sea of troubles."
You don't have to be an English major to see how that loosely fits our mayor. Had he not announced for re-election, he would have been a lame duck for the remaining 13 months of his term. It was better to risk running again and irritating federal prosecutors looking into his 2010 campaign than limp off the field he loves.
The chief prosecutor, U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen, can still take action that might force Gray from office. Will he? Only a few people know that, and they're not saying. So the mayor soldiers on, being the best mayor and candidate he thinks he can be.
As the year was ending, some political folks thought the mayor got some good news.
Washington Post reporter Nikita Stewart accepted a job starting in the new year with The New York Times. Stewart has led the story on the corruption investigation into Gray's campaign. Surely, some of the mayor's supporters said, Stewart's plan to move on is a sign that the Gray investigation is going nowhere. When asked about that sentiment, Stewart responded with a bit of astonishment: "I don't know why they say that."
So Gray has hobbled into the 2014 race not knowing if or when the 2010 campaign is going to jump up and bite him. He therefore will be a dramatic figure in the race as Council members Muriel Bowser, Jack Evans, Vincent Orange and Tommy Wells all seek to unseat him. A crowded field gives the incumbent an edge. But as of this moment, we don't know for sure what names will be on the final ballot.
■ That was nice. We have a helpful hint for all council members going into 2014: Respect our citizens and their time.
Too many council members routinely breeze into their public hearings 15 minutes, 30 minutes or 45 minutes late. And unfortunately, many citizens who have taken off from work or arranged for baby sitters or simply have something else to do are left sitting and waiting for the council members to stroll in.
Last week there was an important hearing on police treatment of rape victims and efforts to assign to those rape survivors legally mandated counselors to help them through the aftermath.
The council's Room 412 was filled with activists and others. But the hearing wasn't starting.
For the first time in your Notebook's memory, something good happened.
Council staff member Anne Phelps walked to the front of the room and got everyone's attention. She said there had been a difficult technical issue with testimony and witness lists. And then Phelps apologized. Twice. She said she was sorry people were being delayed and inconvenienced and promised that Ward 6 Council member Wells would start the hearing as quickly as possible. A short time later, Wells did.
It should be mandatory that if a hearing (or council session) doesn't start on time, someone on staff — or even the council member — explains why and apologizes. That's my suggested resolution for 2014.
■ A final word. There'll be no Notebook Christmas week. Holiday cheers to all.

Mr. Speaker, two companies in my riding distinguished themselves in the 12th annual competition for the Sélection Caseus awards, which recognize Quebec's best fancy cheeses. The Fromagerie du Presbytère in Sainte-Élisabeth-de-Warwick was awarded the gold Caseus for the second time in as many years, this time for its Louis d'Or, an organic raw milk cheese. The Cendré de Lune and Cantonnier made by the Fromagerie 1860 DuVillage in Warwick also won awards in their categories.
Cheese makers from across Quebec outdid themselves. The silver Caseus was awarded to the Laiterie Charlevoix in Baie-Saint-Paul for its Hercule de Charlevoix cheese. The bronze went to the Fromagerie Au gré des champs in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu for Le Monnoir. The judging panel also gave special honours to the Fromagerie Blackburn in Jonquière, in the category of new business established for five years or less, for its Mont-Jacob cheese.
Quebec's cheeses are second to none in the world. The people who produce them do so with no shortage of passion and expertise.
On behalf of my colleagues in the Bloc Québécois, I extend to them our sincere congratulations and encourage everyone to try their excellent products.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Embarrassing.
Yep, that about sums it up. And this was a preseason game. Makes you all giggly thinking about the season opener, doesn't it?
"All in all, that was an embarrassing performance and way too many penalties, not enough intensity all the way around, starting with me," Eagles coach Andy Reid said of his team's 23-15 loss to the Colts last night at Lucas Oil Stadium. "It was a poor performance."
It's been that kind of preseason for the Eagles. After the game quarterback Donovan McNabb conceded that "it's been interesting. It's been a carousel."
Based off the injuries and the off-the-field distractions, there could be some more spinning for the Eagles. The good news is that it's still very early here. There are still two preseason games left. And, well, it was a preseason game.
Speaking of Michael Vick -- now there's a non sequitur -- there were no protests outside the stadium regarding the new Eagles quarterback, according to the Associated Press. A few fans brought in signs to express concerns about last week's signing, though.
Injuries. Fullback Leonard Weaver suffered a MCL sprain in one of his knees. Reid didn't think it would be a long-term problem. Linebacker Tracy White had a rib sprain. And cornerback Ellis Hobbs sprained his left ankle.
Tight end Brent Celek, who made the trip despite not practicing much during the week with an AC shoulder sprain, did not play, he said, because the trainers wanted to be cautious.

In India's Capital, a Wicker Basket for Unwanted Babies
Nestled in a brick wall near the old quarter of India's capital city, New Delhi, a wicker basket sits on a wooden ledge.
The little basket has a big job. It's a place for people to abandon their unwanted babies.
The basket belongs to an organization called Palna -- the Hindi word for "cradle" -- a reference to the basket itself. Here's a look at what happens after a child and parent part ways here, on the street, in New Delhi.
Palna's origins reach back 60-plus years to the partition of the Indian subcontinent and the mass migration and social upheaval caused by the creation of India and Pakistan. The original idea behind Palna's parent organization was to care for children lost or orphaned in partition and its aftermath.
The basket out front was added in the 1970s, after people began leaving newborns with the organization.
"The oldest kids who came in the basket are in their 30s now," says Sandhya Bhalla, program director.
Palna today houses 85 to 100 youths at any given time. It is an offshoot of the Delhi Council for Child Welfare, or DCCW, a nongovernmental organization funded by donations.
Not every child arrives in the basket. Some are brought by police, who find them lost or abandoned in train stations, big crowds or religious sites.
"We don't call it an orphanage, we call it a home," says Loraine Campos, a longtime employee. That's because some of the children brought in by police "could have parents," she says. "We don't know."
The group tries to reunite families like these. That has gotten easier over the years, Ms. Campos says. "The world is becoming smaller."
But it remains tricky in uniquely Indian ways. In one recent case, police brought in a 7-year-old who was lost, but who spoke a dialect that no one could understand.
Over a few months, the boy learned Hindi and provided enough clues to eventually identify his village. Then, Ms. Campos says, "We googled it." The boy has since been reunited with his family in the Indian state of Assam, near Bhutan.
How does a 7-year-old boy from Assam get lost in Delhi? Palna officials aren't sure. One possibility, they say, is that he was being sent off to work somewhere--child labor is a problem in India--and became separated from his minders.
Years ago, and pre-Google, luck sometimes played a bigger role in reunions. Palna staff recall an incident in the mid-1990s when Miss Universe visited the home and was photographed holding a lost child. When a newspaper published the photo, someone recognized the child.
Palna's wicker basket works like this. The weight of a baby placed in the cradle sounds an alarm. The moment it happens, a guard steps out to the sidewalk and stands watch while a nurse comes from Palna's in-house clinic to collect the child for a medical check.
But first, says Radhika Ramnath, a Palna volunteer, "you give a moment for the person who has abandoned the child to go away."
Many infants left in the basket have mental or physical disabilities. And the majority of new arrivals overall at Palna, some 70% or so, are girls. That number is shifting, though. "It used to be 90%," says Ms. Ramnath.
About two months ago, late at night, an extraordinary newborn arrived by basket. Upon examination, it was found that the baby's gender couldn't be determined. Physically, the child looks neither male nor female.
"We've never seen a case like this," says Ms. Bhalla, the program director.
A team of specialist doctors has been examining the child the past few months. The current plan is to eventually reconstruct the female organs, officials say.
Palna employs three doctors, several dozen nurses and caregivers, a physical therapist, cooks, an ambulance driver, a yoga instructor and two teachers, among others. The staff totals 100 or so.
Infant arrivals have declined in the past few years. The reasons are unclear, but Palna's staff suspects an increase in child-selling and unscrupulous adoptions.
In the poorest rural areas of India, a child might be sold for as little as "50 rupees, 100 rupees, 500 rupees," or roughly $1 to $10, says Pradeep Kuckreja of DCCW's executive committee. Mr. Kuckreja, a New Delhi businessman who among other things acted in one of India's first major soap operas, "Hum Log," has been affiliated with the group since the 1980s, when he and his wife adopted the first of two children from here.
Palna runs its own adoption program. Most adoptions take place within India, although one child right now is studying Italian in preparation for adoption later this year by a couple in Italy.
Fundraising is getting tricker, Palna officials say, because of new Indian regulations to fight child-selling. A 2012 rule restricts adoptive parents from donating to their own child's orphanage, Palna officials say.
The intent: Rein in unscrupulous brokers who seek "donations" as a cover for sales.
But the new rules had unintended consequences for organizations that do things by the book, Palna says. Donations declined 15% to 20%, Palna says, because some of its most reliable financial backers--its own adoptive parents--were now blocked from giving.
The rule, while well-intentioned, "gave us a lot of trouble," Ms. Ramnath says. "And not just us."
Palna's symbol, the wicker basket by the sidewalk, "has been there forever," one volunteer says. But some things do change. Until recently, the staff says, most families wanted to adopt boys, reflecting deep-rooted cultural preferences. Today, though, says Ms. Bhalla: "Everybody who comes wants a girl."

Thank you for your contributions and welcome to OrthodoxWiki! Fr. John
Greetings Derek! I hope you don't mind, but I fixed up your quote on the Buzz page a little bit. Please feel free to fix it back up if you wish - they're your words! Thanks, Fr. John 15:00, 6 Feb 2005 (CST)
oh not a problem... looks great! =]
Fedya, you might want to check out the Style Guide if you want your dates to link to the church calendar. --magda 10:57, 15 Mar 2005 (CST)
Hey there! I noticed that you uploaded a couple images today, but you forgot to tag them appropriately with the appropriate image license. I put one on Image:Philokalia.jpg, but Image:Ladder of Divine Ascent.jpg still needs one. Thanks! --Rdr. Andrew 22:01, 28 Mar 2005 (EST)
Hi Derek,
It's great to see more contributions. Just one thing though - I'd like to try to preserve N.P.O.V. as the main tone of voice throughout OrthodoxWiki. This basically means adopting a descriptive rather than presecriptive tone, so instead of "The Filioque is a heresy" we'd say something like "Others think that the addition of the filioque clause to the Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed was the consummation of a creeping heresy in the Western church." (For more on NPOV, please see OrthodoxWiki:Style_Manual#Neutrality_and_the_OrthodoxWiki_Bias).
The rationale behind this is to recognize that solidly Orthodox people can hold different positions on this topic. If there's a disagreement about something let's strive to say who thinks what and why rather than just stating our own opinion. I hope that makes sense!
Thanks again, Fr. John

Attached is the latest, complete, and should be the final version of the encyclopaedia patch for S2R+ version 2.96.3. It now covers everything that is needed for seamless integration between the mod and the encyclopaedia, including: all the land/naval units, unit classes, buildings, techs, and clans pages.
Example screenshot of a clan page with the list of its accessible units:
Example screenshot of an S2R+ custom unit:
Again besides the obvious benefits of having the encyclopaedia usable in-game, this will allow us to understand s2r+ faster and perhaps help spot potential oversight, if any, in relevant part of S2R+ easily without having to play all the factions directly. The use of automated script for generating this also implies that some types of inconsistencies/typos will be detected during the process (I'll post my findings seperately to the bug report thread).
- Backup or rename the following encyclopaedia sub-folders: units, buildings, unit_classes, clans, tech
- Extract content of the attached zip file to the encyclopaedia folder.
Notes on v1.1
- Updated the building requirement section of the unit pages to make it better in presenting S2R+ complex recruitment system. For example, now it is obvious from the encyclopaedia that Chugen - Yari | Inaka requires EITHER terrace farming OR one of the encampment strings, not both; and Ashigaru - Yari | Han requires land consolidation AND either Barracks OR Armoury, not all three of them.
- Added back the previous and next navigation link at the bottom of unit/tech/building pages which are present in the original encyclopaedia.
Notes on v1.0
- All broken link issues (should) have been addressed. I use another script to verify this on all of the output pages so it is 100% valid in my test environment. Exception to this are the links to the minor clans from the unit pages, as the minor clan pages don't exist in the original encyclopaedia.
- The issue with conflicting faction unit's permission between vanilla and s2r+ files has been addressed. If there's conflicting assignment, I simply assume now that the one from original game files (vanilla/patches) are superseded by the entries in S2R+ files.
- All effects for buildings and techs are now covered properly.
- Some unit images will still be different than the one in the in-game unit cards, but this is because I don't have the file for it and not because of error in the scripting process.

When it comes to grooming, most products for men and women are not created equally. This is because men and women tend to have different skin tones and textures. Even though you'll likely stick to your beauty products and skin care items when it comes to looking your best, there are a few products for guys that ladies can feel good about using.
Masks and scrubs
Sure, you probably have a slew of purifying, relaxing and other masks in your bathroom to use when you're feeling less than stellar. According to Cosmopolitan magazine, certain masks for men can also be used by their better halves, so feel free to use a mask or facial scrub like the ELEMIS Energising Skin Scrub if you've ran out.
A scrub like this helps exfoliate your skin perhaps better than products made for women. On the same note, its gentle ingredients like vitamin E and marine Phytoplankton help to keep your skin feeling smooth and baby soft.
Razors and shaving creams
It's no secret that for some reason, guys' razors seem to be sharper and better than ones made for ladies. This is why it's probably safe to say that you've used your guy's razor or shaving cream from time to time. One of the best products to take from your guy is a pre-shave oil, the experts report.
Products like ELEMIS Smooth Result Shave Oil help prepare the skin and the hair for shaving. The mix of vitamins and herbal oils works to loosen up the hair and moisturize the skin to ensure shaving is less painful. Oils like these can also be a great option for soothing dry skin on your elbows, knees and other skin sensitive areas.
Since guys tend to have drier facial skin due to shaving on the regular, it might not come as much of a surprise that their moisturizers pack a punch. Because of this, you may benefit from wearing a dab or two of his go-to product on days when your complexion could use some love - think a super dry winter day.
Another plus, most men's skin care products are made with ingredients like citrus to help wake guys up in the morning - the same benefits are sure to be felt if you try out your guy's daily face wash.
If you're a bit worried about using your guy's products, don't fret, Wise Geek blog reports most products are made with similar ingredients, just with different scents.

Polish vital records often contained titles or terms that indicate the social status or rank of the individuals mentioned in them. In many cases, the status described has no real equivalent in English, as the concepts described are foreign to American contemporary culture. In such cases the literal English meaning, or the closest rough equivalent, of the title is provided and the full "flavor" of the expression is somewhat diluted.
Terms for Nobles and the Clergy
The following are all adjectives, declined either like magnus (those ending in -us) or like fortis (those ending in -is).
(Many thanks to Rafal T. Prinke, whose book Poradnik Genealogi-Amatora was the source for much of the following information).
Terms for Commoners
The names of the months are actually considered adjectives modifying the unexpressed noun mensis, month. Those ending in -us are declined like nouns of the Second Declension, so that the genitive singular ends in -i, the ablative in -o. Aprilis, September, October, November and December are declined like nouns of the Third Declension, with the genitive singular in -is, ablative in -i. Observant readers may note that September, October, etc. should mean "seventh month, eighth month," and so on. In ancient Rome the year was reckoned as beginning with March, so that under that system September was the seventh month, October the eighth, etc. When the calendar was changed the months kept their original days. This makes the abbreviations 7bris, 8bris very confusing, because we would expect them to refer to July and August, when in fact they refer to September and October. When you see these abbreviations, it helps to replace the numeral with the Roman name, i. e., 7 = septem, which reminds us that 7bris refers to September.
There were several different names for days of the week, using either dies (day) and the name of a god, or feria plus a simple ordinal:
Dates are usually given in Latin by rendering the year and day in the ablative case, and the month in the genitive, according to the pattern "[in] the -th year, [on] the -th day of the month of -." Often the priests or clerks, having no great desire to torture themselves, would simply write the name down in numerical form, which we can read easily. But many forms mandated that the date be written out in full. Consider this date:
Anno Domini millesimo octingentesimo quinquagesimo primo, die decimo septimo Octobris
It is certainly a mouthful! But you may actually see dates given this way, so it is wise to be familiar with the pattern.
First, anno is the ablative singular of annus, year, and "Anno Domini'; ("in the year of [Our] Lord") is a familiar expression, so at least you know right away that what follows is the year something happened. Reference to the dictionary and a quick review of the ablative endings tell us millesimo is the term for "thousand," octingentesimo means "eight hundred," quinquagesimo means "fiftieth," and primo means "first." So this happened in the one thousand eight hundred fifty-first year of Our Lord: 1851.
Then we note that die is the ablative singular of the Fifth Declension noun dies, "day," so now we proceed to decipher the month and day. Reference to a dictionary tells us that decimo septimo is an ablative form of the expression meaning "seventeenth." Octobris is genitive of October; in some cases we might see the word mensis, "month," preceding Octobris, but it isn't really necessary and in either case we understand what is being said. With this information we state confidently that the date was " 17 October 1851.
Terms marked with an asterisk* are ones that tend to appear a lot and can be hard to find in standard dictionaries. In my opinion, they deserve a little extra attention.

A Cadillac on Pocket-Lint? Half the team has gone to Detroit and Las Vegas this week, so we figured you'd forgive us if we indulged our inner American, donned a Stetson and put some country and Western on the stereo. But it's just that kind of cheesy, hackneyed image of America - and its cars - that Cadillac would very much like us European buyers to forget when it comes to the new ATS.
Banish the image you currently have of Cadillacs - probably squidgy, over-sized American barges - and start to take the brand seriously as a competitor to BMW, say Cadillac's people. But should you, based on what we see here?
You probably won't have noticed, but you've been able to buy a Cadillac in Europe for some time: Cadillac is now on its third relaunch in Europe. Last time we looked at the figures, it had sold about five cars in the UK - we jest, of course, but not enormously. Why? Well, if we tell you that to-date its cars cost about the same as an equivalent BMW or Mercedes, that there were just a handful of dealers, that the quality and design wasn't anywhere near as good as anything made in Germany and that they didn't offer a diesel or hybrid, we suspect you might start to guess why.
So it's time to start again, and this time, Cadillac's gunning for the Germans with this - the ATS. In the UK, we might know that acronym better as a budget tyre-fitting establishment, but get beyond its name and this looks like it might actually be a car that's worth taking note of.
And if you are thinking it looks a little bit like a Mercedes C-class then you'd be right. Sit them side-by-side and they're almost identical, proportionally. That diving crease in the body side is very Benz-like too. Yet the whole look is edgier, and chiselled. Thank Cadillac's "Art and Science" design language, which for nearly 15 years now has been throwing out cars with so many creases and sharp edges that you feared you might cut your finger open.
Inside, there's CUE - Cadillac's new user interface - which is capacitive touchscreen-based and comes with haptic feedback. Here in the Cobo Hall at Detroit, the phone reception and 3G blackhole meant it wasn't fully operational or easy to judge. But it responded both super-quickly to inputs and with a lovely series of thunks, clunks and nudges as you worked through functions, thanks to those haptics.
We'll try and get a dedicated hands-on with the system on GM's stand at CES over the next few days, where we're promised we can test out its full range of capabilities. But until then we're more than giving it the benefit of the doubt.
Expect prices when the ATS goes on sale here later in the year to mirror BMW's new 3-Series and the aforementioned Merc. It'll come with diesel engines too, which means it might make sense as a company car purchase. Otherwise, until a "V" performance version turns up (around 2014) we'll make do with turbo-charged four- and six-cylinder petrol engines.
Our bet is that, put back-to-back and given the choice, most people would still rather have that 3-Series. But from mid-year, if you're bored sick of the predictability of the BMW/Audi/Mercedes triumvirate, or have always fancied owning a little bit of Americana, this Cadillac should provide a genuine and credible alternative to the German premium brands.
And based on what we can see in Detroit, you're no longer going to have to be mad to consider it.

Great Race salutes 26 'Perfect' racers
September 25, 2012
The celebration of the 35th anniversary of the Richard S. Caliguiri City of Pittsburgh Great Race includes a salute to 26 "Perfect Great Racers" who have participated in – and finished – every Great Race, starting back on September 25, 1977.
During the past 34 Great Races, this group has covered a combined distance of 5,480.8 miles – like running a relay from Pittsburgh to Vancouver, British Columbia…and back. Each man has run a total of 210.8 miles during the past 34 Great Races. The group includes Carl Hatfield of West Virginia, who won the first Great Race in 1977 and has returned to run the 10K every year since then.
"We refer to these extraordinary men as our 'Perfect Great Racers' since they've been with us since the very first year, way back when race organizers used numbered Popsicle sticks to determine the order of finish," said Race Director Mike Radley. "They've witnessed many changes over the years, including the introduction of the electronic timing device and online registration. But one thing that has never changed is the Perfect Great Racers' commitment to running a 10K through the streets of Pittsburgh on the last Sunday of September."
A 35th anniversary exhibit showcasing the history of Pennsylvania's largest 10K race pays tribute to "Perfect Great Racers," the Caliguiri family and "Everyman's Race." It is located in the grand lobby of the City-County Building, 414 Grant Street, in Downtown Pittsburgh and is open to the public weekdays from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m. through the end of September. It features photographs and race memorabilia including the 1977 first-place 10K trophy and a Frisbee used as a 1978 timing device.
The following 26 individuals have participated in – and finished – The Great Race for each of the past 34 years (1977 – 2011)*.
Tom Abbott (Cheswick, PA)
Richard Baldock (Allentown, PA)
Ken Balkey (Churchill, PA)
Dennis Barnhart (Mt. Lebanon, PA)
Gary Boyd (Butler, PA)
Leslie Alfred Brody (Wexford, PA)

* 2003 race cancelled
The 35th running of the Richard S. Caliguiri City of Pittsburgh Great Race – founded as a 10K road race in 1977 by the late mayor of Pittsburgh, Richard S. Caliguiri – will take place on Sunday, Sept. 30. Over the years, more than a quarter million individuals have taken part in the event, which has grown to include a 5K race, 5K walk and children's race.
