On Wednesday we did a photo shoot for the very very talented Vanessa Lea and the band Road Train.
Natalie Jupp looked after the styling of Vanessa and the boys and the location we chose for the shoot was one of our favourites, the old Glenreagh train station.
Here's a few pics for you for now!

Ozz Negri
Jeff Segal
THE MODERATOR: Good afternoon, everyone, we would like to welcome you to a special edition NASCAR Grand Am teleconference. Joining us today are Ozz Negri and Jeff Segal coming off the race at Barber Motorsports Park with plenty of momentum going into Saturday's Bosch Engineering 250 at Virginia International Raceway.
Ozz is coming off a second place finish in the Porsche 250 when he joined Michael Shank Racing the No. 60 Crown Royal XR Ford Riley. Coming off your strong finish at Barber, coupled with tough luck suffered by some of the championship contenders, what are your thoughts heading into VIR at this several stage of the championship?
In the meantime, we'll introduce Jeff Segal. Jeff, co-driving the SpeedSource No. 69 FXDD Mazda RX-8, he carries a two-race winning streak into VIR, having won four of the last seven races and had some tough luck in the Rolex 24 after Jeff won the pole in dramatic fashion.
Jeff, you found your way back into contention with back-to-back victories; can you continue that into VIR at a track where Mazda has never won.
JEFF SEGAL: I certainly hope so. Our team is very strong right now. We have been running the same car for a few years, the same driver lineup for a few years. So we are really gelling well right now, the entire team. And also last few races we have a lot of momentum, which is huge and counts for a lot in terms of our performance.
But this is a track we have struggled in the past, and the rules changes certainly are not going to make things easier. Having said that, I'm confident; it's such a strong car and the team knows it so well. So just looking forward to another good finish.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you very much, Jeff.
Coming off your strong finish at Barber, a number of the other perennial contenders had had some tough luck; what your thoughts heading into VIR at this early stage of the championship?
OZZ NEGRI: You know, J.J., we take care of every single race, we know how competitive the series is. You know, we have got a good momentum going, up in third in the championship, second as a team and third in drivers; it's a lot of momentum, good confidence.
We have got a good car since Daytona when we were on the front row. But at the same time, you know, we can't deny that you know this year is probably one of the toughest years, and we are going to have to work very hard to earn it.
Q. Ozz, tell me a little bit about driving with John Pew this year, obviously after having a long and fruitful relationship with Mark Patterson, every driver needs to build a level of familiarity and trust with a co-driver, after being with Mark for a period of time, what's it been like for you to having to adjust to having a new teammate, a new wing man and someone that you have to go into battle with?
OZZ NEGRI: Well, it's funny you ask me, because obviously I know John for quite some time. And I know how his mind works and how he drives, because he's been our sister driver for the last two years. It's been some work and we've been spending quite a lot of time together.
We have been go-karting every single week and John is a very easy person to work with. He definitely listens, his heart is 100% into doing well, and you know, performing well. And he's got time on his hands that he can dedicate and can give me time so I can work, you know, on and off the track with him.
It's been fun and most of all, to me, it's been, how can I say, it's been very -- I'm having difficulty finding the right word, but you know, I'm very excited about -- motivating, that's the word. I'm very motivated about working with him and getting great results just as I did with Mark.
Q. I followed your career back in Formula 3, and you then came over to the States and raced in Indy Lights and have gone on to a great career since then. But I guess for you, when you came over here and were looking to continue your open-wheel career, did you ever think you would have this long and prosperous of a career in America and driving sports cars in the Rolex Series?
OZZ NEGRI: Well, first of all, I'm extremely, extremely happy, and glad with, you know, where I am right now.
It's very funny, I've been talking on and off with Ruben Varicello (ph), a good friend of mine, we talk sometimes between his races, and he's been asking me, you know, how is it; you know, how is it to race sports cars there in the States.
And I tell him, I said, "I never had as much fun in my whole life." And that's pretty much a good part of the success, you know, because you're going to enjoy what you're doing, it helps you doing well. If you're not enjoying, then, you know, the fun is not there and the heart is not there. I can tell you that every time I go in my car and I get with my team -- it was a little bit difficult at first, you know to come from single-seater street race to the endurance race.
I used to be a lot more aggressive. I kind of had a little bit of a tough time in the beginning of my sports car career, you know, with some aggressive moves, but I finally learned. I finally learned the hard way a couple of times, you know, the sports cars world runs a little different, and I'm totally enjoying it, totally, totally enjoying it.
Q. Jeff, pretty big rule change in GT with Porsche getting some concessions and you guys getting 75 pounds added to your car, wondering what your thoughts are on that and how you think that's going to affect your RX-8.
JEFF SEGAL: You know, first off, it's frustrating. As a driver you want to make sure that you have the strongest car that you possibly can. Porsche works incredibly hard on the preparation and the development of the cars. They built three new cars over the winter this year, just building off of what we learned over the last two years. Nothing monumentally different but a bunch of really small things that have defined the car and made it that much better.
So when we showed up for Daytona testing, we had a car that we know very well and a car that we had improved in any every way that we know how. We had been running the same chassis and engine and driver lineup for the last few years, so we really have that continuity going for us.
Obviously Martin, in particular, has been quite successful in the last few races and, ultimately I guess there's political pressure to do something about that. In my opinion, you know, I wish I could see the data where it made sense, how these decisions are come by, but at the end of the day, I just drive the car.
Obviously for me I think it's not going to help anything but we've got such a strong car, such a strong team and the depth of engineering, sharing all of the information, I think it's something that we can move on from. I think we'll still have a strong car and a good race in VIR, and I can tell you that we'll be trying as hard as ever to make sure we win another one, right away.
Q. Ozz, a lot of your wins have come late in the season. Is that just because of the tracks at the end of the season suits your team best, or is there -- like this year, you had a great run at Barber -- yeah, Barber. So is there anything to that, the tracks, or is it just how your team works?
OZZ NEGRI: Well, I don't think it's -- I don't think it's normal. I think it's just coincidence.
You know, we have been very strong in the beginning of the season before last in '08. We have a couple of podiums and you know, a pole position at Daytona 24 Hour. You know, it's just the way that it goes.
You have to understand that we are Pro Am driving lineup, and our strategy in the race, it's a little limited. You know, it's not as flexible as when you have a pro-pro in the car. So everything has to be almost absolutely right for us to be able to, you know, be on top of the lead I would say.
And you know, the races, for example, the last race that I won, New Jersey, it was all, you know, on a pit stop. I came in for the last pit stop at nine, and you know, everything, all of yellow flags, they fell at the right time and we didn't need to take that much fuel. We all came out of the pits and when we call came out of the pits, I was third, so I had only to pass two cars in the race.
This series is so competitive. It is one of the most competitive series I have ever driven in. You know, everything has to be aligned so you can be up front and win races. And I promise you, we are working very, very hard, me and John and the whole team, we are working very hard to win one of these races.
Q. I want to think about what it is that you did with Mark Patterson and relate that to John Pew. Earlier your relationships with both were spoken up; what are the differences between John Pew and Mark Patterson, driving differences?
OZZ NEGRI: Well, they are two very different characters. Mark is very confident, very outgoing. Mark is very brave.
John is quite a lot more technical and a little shy at times. John, what is good about John is that John has given me all the time I need to help him. So I've been learning his moods a lot quicker than when I did with Mark, obviously, because we have that time on our hands, and John is 100 percent committed to racing. Mark has his business and that was his priority. John's priority racing and doing well, so we just been spending a lot of time together watching videos and you know, looking at data, studying what happened to Barber, what could we have done better and so on.
So I think, you know, the speed that things are happening and will happen with John, it's going to be quick and pretty, you know, a lot of people will definitely notice a good change on John. I've been getting him to race go-karts, so we can work on his race crafts and on his speed with cold tires, feedback and everything. You know, that time like I never had with Mark, which I'm having with John -- by the way, John raced this past weekend at Homestead at Lotemax Championship (ph) and he won both races, Saturday and Sunday, two pole positions. The Saturday race he won on a dry track; on Sunday, he won on the wet track. So this is extremely good training. I'm very glad to, you know, to be part of it, to be helping him, and I know we can get those fruits for ourselves in the next few races.
Q. Mr. Segal, if my second grade math kicking in here, math skills is correct, you are on the verge of your 25th birthday; is that correct?
JEFF SEGAL: That is absolutely correct.
Q. Okay. Now, when we go back, when you joined the team, there was probably an incident -- not probably; there was an incident at Daytona International Speedway during a sports car race there in which the No. 69 car has made a number of highlight reels since. When you look at Mr. Assentato and go back those years in the cars; embryonic phase, to put it mildly and since then you guys have picked up the pace and won quite admirably, and I would point out, haven't you won like four races in the last seven or eight or something along those lines?
JEFF SEGAL: Four out of the last seven.
Q. When you look at Mr. Assentato last night on Grand Am Weekly, one of the guests said that a gentleman driver like him shouldn't win to the extent which he won, and I would like to know, when you take all of that into consideration, the wreck, the roll and all of that and now advancing to this point, why is it that Mr. Assentato should win?
JEFF SEGAL: To be perfectly honest with you, I think anybody that says that just certainly doesn't know Emil very well at all. He's one of the most competitive guys that I've ever met, and you know, obviously, I'm quite thankful to him for giving me the opportunity to step up from what was at the time the Koni Challenge into the Rolex Series and he took on a project.
From the time I got in the Mazda, I had never had a problem going fast, but I certainly had a lot to learn in terms of maturity and making the right moves at the right times, listening to the team, working with the team to help engineer the car and so on.
So you know, the incident we had at Daytona is a perfect example of that. I think that's something that happened. It was really unfortunate, because it was the last few laps of the race in second place looking really good. But it was a learning process, and hopefully it never happens again.
But in terms of Emil and the success that we have had together, he fits the mold perfectly for a gentleman driver. He absolutely embodies what Grand Am is looking for in the Akin Award that they have. He is incredibly passionate about racing, but he spends 99.99 percent of his time working on his business. He shows up at the racetrack usually at the last minute with no sleep and jumps with the car, and we are always astounded at how quickly he goes. And I think you have to know his history to understand why that is.
This is not a guy that decided at a late age he wanted to go racing. This is a guy that's been passionate about racing his entire life. He was racing Formula 4s at Limerock way before I was born, and he's somebody that made the rather wise decision: Hey, maybe I shouldn't be screwing around at the racetrack. Let me go build the business and be successful there and I can come back to it, and that's exactly what he's done. I think he strolls through; he has a ton of skill, his feedback is great and he's a great co-driver because he understands the whole process. He understands what we need to do to get that car up to the front. There's never an argument about feed time. There's never an argument about strategy in terms of when he does and doesn't get to drive. He just gets it. And I think that the success we have had has been in a large part due to him.
Q. Jeff, with your success this year and winning races and the team doing well, what has that done to both your attitude and that of the team, and how do you keep that sustained going forward?
JEFF SEGAL: I think it's been really, really helpful. The whole Mazda family has been very successful because we all share all of our data across the board, every Mazda that's out there is part of that Mazda family and we really do all help each other. Having said that, traditionally, the 70 car, has been the strongest Mazda.
So for a long time it was a bit frustrating that we always had the speed to always get close, but when it came time for the results it was always there, and really what's that done is motivate our whole team that works on the 69 car to just work that much harder. Everybody on the crew has upped their game in the last two years in terms of the pit stops, the strategy, the preparation on the car. Everything about it has come up a level.
And for me, it's taken a big step to realize that it's not just about driving the car. I can't just show up at the race weekend and drive the car. I have to be hands-on with it in terms of deciding what kind of things we want to do with setup before the race and kind of managing the team as much as I can.
And I think we have seen the fruits of that labor, and I'm just really proud of all those guys. I think everybody is incredibly motivated even more so now, because there's no reason we can't win on a consistent basis and it's sore of an addicted thing. It's very, very good for the momentum of our team.
Q. What's the most challenging part of the track last year, Michael had success last year, just talk about that and the momentum you have coming into the race, and how much last year's finish for the team will give you confidence going in?
OZZ NEGRI: Well we always had a very strong car at VIR. To me it's one of my favorite tracks. I love, you know, fast corners and that's what you get at VIR, you know, going up the hill with a fast axis and then also the last couple of corners going on to the front straight. It's just like Jeff was saying, it's teamwork, and you know, we are not just drivers.
We are the drivers, but we are also part of the technical part. We need to relate to the team what we need, what we want with ideas, suggestions. Me and my engineer, we talk quite a lot before the race, before race weekends, and we come out there with a plan. And then it's up to us to just deliver that plan, which has been -- it's been working very well this year. It's also my sixth year with Mike Shank Racing, and you know, we are pretty much like a very solid, closed group. We know each other quite a lot and we know which member of the team needs and what you are thinking. You know, I think we are very in sync with each other.
VIR, they are a couple of things that you know we definitely look for which is traction coming out of those corners and changing direction and making sure the car can change direction well going up the hill to the fast axis and then coming back down the hill on the back side of the track; that's what we mostly look for.
Also, you know, this is an endurance race, so we have got to be able to go fast but we have got to be able, also, to go fast for a long time. You know, that's very important and that's what really helped us at Barber. We had a great car on low tires. A car that is very easy to drive and a car that stops so well and enabled me to make the passes.
Like I said, this is all work done before we go to the race between me, my engineer, Dave Kanning and Jeff Schaffner and the whole entire Mike Shank Racing organization.
Q. I was interested in something you said earlier, I had a driver, an open-wheel driver this weekend tell me he felt better as a driver after driving in sports cars. And it sounds like that's something that you feel, also. Am I accurate in that?
OZZ NEGRI: I don't know if it's exactly like this. I was pretty successful in the formula cars, and you know, so far I achieved a little bit more in the formula cars than what I did in sports cars. I would love to win one of those Rolex watches by winning the tournament, 24 Hour, and being in the Top 3 in the championship, that's mainly our goal.
But what I'm really enjoying is the racing; the way the drivers are competitive. You cannot leave anything on the table, absolutely nothing. I mean, you see that most of the IRL teams, they keep saying that, you know, Ganassi, it's a tough team to beat. It's a tough team to beat.
It's exactly the same thing here at Grand Am, we have Ganassi guys, we have the GAINSCO and we have Sun Trust and you know, any motorsports, all those things, they are so hard to beat that you're going to bring your best here. You've got to lay out your best game and you always have to be able to pull from the bottom of the hole everything you learned in your career; you should be able to run up front and that's really cool about Grand Am racing, there's about ten cars that can win every weekend.
Q. That's not the case, though, in open-wheel. Let me ask you a little different way: When he was saying that the ability to manipulate the car, open-wheel is almost a spec series now, his ability to manipulate the car in sports car racing, the competition that you're talking about, all of that has made him a better driver. Do you feel that, that you're a better driver now, even the success that you had in open-wheel, do you think you're a better driver now?
OZZ NEGRI: Yeah, absolutely and just like he said, the competition being so difficult, the level of competition being so high, you have to be digging, digging for more, digging for more all the time, learning. It's a never-end learning curve; I can promise you that. You go to the track and you've got to find some more time or, you know, find some more ways to go fast or to keep up front more information to deliver to your engineer so he can help you go fast. So you know what, I definitely think I'm a much better driver than I was before, absolutely.
Q. Is open-wheel out of Oswaldo Negri's system now?
OZZ NEGRI: Listen, everything that there is wheels, an engine, a steering wheel, it's in my system, I can tell you that. Everything that has an engine and I can drive, it's in my system for a long time hopefully.
Q. I saw in your bio that you mentioned Senna (ph) as a driving hero when you were coming up. Was it his passion for the sport or the speed or the car control that he had in his career? Are those things that you emulate in your driving?
OZZ NEGRI: I would say so. I had the pleasure of racing for the same team that Senna (ph) used to race in go-kart. And obviously I was only a junior watching someone already very successful and brilliant in what they were doing. So you really try to see what are the qualities, you know, and where and how can I beat the guy, how can I be as good as he is.
You know, so just keep working very hard and you know, his education, he was always very serious about what he was doing; that was his priority in life. You know, the way he was going after his goals was something that would impress me and that's one of the things that I really use, you know, in my career. I don't take no for an answer and I go after everything until I'm totally exhausted and I cannot find what I want anymore, and I'm talking about a way of going quick or a way of making my car go quick or having ideas, just stuff like that.
If you talk to my engineer, he will say that I'm the biggest thorn in his side because I call him Sunday at 6 o'clock, 8 o'clock at night; I call him any time that something shows up on my mind. But he definitely accepts all this, because he knows that what I want is just the success of our team and our car.
Q. Is that something that you take into the rest of your life if you want some music or you're looking for the perfect meal; do you take that same passion and aggression into everything that Oswaldo Negri does?
OZZ NEGRI: 100 percent. And sometimes I get a pretty hard time from my girls. I have a wife and two girls and they tell me that I always do everything, you know, to the max, and I don't relax. I definitely try in life, I definitely try to find a balance in things. I don't think too much of one thing is good enough, and too little is not good enough, either.
So I try to look for a balance and you know, sometimes I can tell you that my wife and my kids are the ones that give me that balance.
Q. What are any special challenges or anything special you need to look into to take care of heading into Virginia International Raceway, as opposed to some of the other tracks on the circuit?
JEFF SEGAL: I think first and foremost, the biggest challenge is going to be trying to establish a baseline for our car with the rules adjustments. We haven't run the car like this. We don't know how the tire is going to react or what changes we'll have to make to compensate. Right off the bat we have something extra on the agenda to take care of.
The second challenge particularly for this week is the time frame, having practiced in qualifying and really every opportunity you have to improve the car, be so close together in one day, we really have to be spot-on with every change that we make. But specifically, with VIR, the track last year seemed to suit our car pretty well, and unfortunately our car was caught up early in an incident in the race and we never got to show how good our car was.
But you have really two competing forces at VIR which makes set up a bit challenging. The first one is that you've got a really, really strong straightaway at the back straightaway. So you have to make sure your car has good top speed so you can take over other cars and so that you don't worry so much about being overtaken on other portions on the straightaways.
Having said that you can't just turn the car out and make it a rocket on the straight because you have a lot of really high-speed corners, particularly the upper climbing axis, it's; fifth gear, sixth gear in our car and you're just sort of trying to hang on to make sure you keep it on the track. Things happen so quickly. So you want to have a lot of downforce on the car for that, but at the same time you can't afford to have the drag on the car for the straightaways.
In terms of setup, it's challenging. Having said that, it's a track that I really like and I have a lot of experience at that track and I'm pretty confident that we can unload the car strong out of the trailer, which is very important, and then go on to have a good race.
Q. I got a recent review on a YouTube that Mr. Assentato, your co-driver, did last year, narration of one lap of VIR and he went around the Oak Tree turn that leads to that long back straight you just referenced, and while he was narrating it he said, "Get the heck out of here." What did he mean by that? Was it the preceding S's, or just that whole section and looking forward to just nailing the throttle on that long back stretch?
JEFF SEGAL: You know, Emil is really a character. At certain tracks that are certain corners that he just doesn't like. You know, there are certain tracks where you'll look at his data and you can't believe how quick he's going, and there are other tracks where the simplest corner, he'll struggle and struggle and struggle.
And probably what he was referencing was that Oak Tree corner, I remember last year going over the data over and over and over again with him trying to get through that corner, because really it's not a terribly difficult corner; it's incredibly slow. It's very straightforward, but it's very, very important because of the long straightaway that's after it. And I think Emil was probably just referencing that that was a corner that he's not particularly fond of. That wouldn't surprise me.
Q. You referenced your dear wife, Claudia, and your daughters, both of whom I've seen grow up, and now the oldest of which is in college; have any of them ever tried to talk you out of racing?
OZZ NEGRI: No, absolutely not. They love what I do. They support me very much. They only one day just told me that they wish during the week, at least once or twice, I would wear a suit and a tie like the other normal dads that they do, which is pretty funny.
No, they really support me. My whole family, all of the races, they are shown live in Brazil. Everybody watches. So it's a good and big Brazilian community which watch the races. So their friends and cousins, they are always supporting, and you know, they love what I do. They are aware of, you know, what it takes, time away and everything.
And you know, they help me very much and support me very much with it. And my wife, I mean, I know my wife since I was 12 years old, as you know, so when I met her then, I was already racing go-karts. So that's how she met me, like knowing that I was racing and that I would be racing as long as I could.
Q. I remember we talked a couple of years ago when you were in the Koni Challenge Series, and you were starting to get fast then. It's always fascinated me what causes a guy to get fast; what flips the switch for JEFF SEGAL and he learns how to get fast, and not just be fast but learns winning time. You've won two races in a row, so obviously you've learned what winning time is.
JEFF SEGAL: I think probably the most important thing for my progression as a driver is the people I've been surrounded with, from the time I started racing, especially racing in Grand Am, I've had a really good support network to draw from. I've had incredible co-drivers, I've had really good teams and you sort of draw from each of those guys.
You know, in the Koni Challenge series, I don't think I ever had a problem going quickly in that car, but I definitely couldn't tell you why I was going quickly, and I couldn't tell the team what they needed to do to improve the car.
So a lot of it was just sort of raw, you know, I didn't have the background to draw from, and obviously with more experience and listening to the input that some of the really experienced guys give, you start to draw from what they are feeling and put it into words.
And from there, besides telling the team what is wrong with the car, you can start to suggest changes on your own and you really -- it spiraled for me from there. So definitely the people I've been surrounded with, long-time friend and co-driver, Nick Longhi, has been incredibly helpful to draw from, and now active in our program driving in the endurance races. Sylvain Tremblay at SpeedSource has been a great mentor for me, and in the Challenge Series working with Joe Vardy (ph), an incredible guy and is the guy I would say is responsible for the championship we have won there.
And I would say that I have learned a lot not only from those guys but the guys I've driven with, and I would say that's it the difference between me now and a few years ago. I don't think I drive the car any faster than I could then but I can definitely make the car go faster than I could then. And just the more experience you get, you understand how to win races and that's something that in the last few years has really click for me.
You know, it's not about going maximum speed every single lap. I mean, sometimes you've got to think about your decision and how that it might affect you later in the race, whether it's saving fuel or tires or breaks or thinking twice about making an aggressive move on somebody where you might have contacts on them and the biggest thing is when you have an incident with somebody, it used to be enough for me to say, it wasn't my fault. But ultimate willy it didn't matter whose fault it is; if you damage the car, you're not going to win the race. So even if you're absolutely in the right, you still have got to make the decisions that keep you out of harms way, and that's probably the most important thing that I have learned.
Q. Maturity and experience obviously has flipped the switch for you. Magic Johnson in the NBA used to talk about winning time and you came right to the edge of that. Can you recognize winning time during a race because of that experience and maturity behind the wheel?
JEFF SEGAL: The last two races have been funny the way the strategy has worked out. It certainly was not an accident that he with were where we were but our strategy has been to reason run a very conservative middle stint and just make sure that we are in position to be in contention for the win when the last stint starts.
So we sort of have those underwhelming middle stints where I'm just being incredibly careful and trying to get excellent gas mileage and trying to get a good tire there to set you up. But the last two races I've been sitting in the car with maybe 35 minutes left going, man, we could win this thing. And on the one hand that's a great feeling, knowing that you're in contention, but on the other hand, it's a terrifying feeling because when you start to think like that you maybe start to lose your focus.
So I tried to block that out of my mind as much as possible. I know going into the race what my game plan is for driving, I know what I need to do. Ultimately this is all about a championship at the end of the year, so until the end of the year when the points thing is very clear, right now, all I care about is scoring good points.
And if that means that I finish second or third or fifth, I'm prepared to take whatever the car and the circumstances are going to give us and we have been fortunate to win last two, hopefully we win a few more this year but really there's a bigger overall strategy and the wins are sort of just icing on the cake.
Q. So finally, Scott Pruett told me once that at this part of the season, he's racing himself, he's getting the car ready for the championship run at the end of the year. Is that kind of the same thing for Jeff Segal, that he is getting the car ready and getting himself ready so that when the championship winning time comes at the end of the year, you're there and can capitalize on the work you're doing now?
JEFF SEGAL: Yeah, I certainly hope so. It's an incredibly long season and a lot of things can happen, so it's far too early to go into any sort of championship mind-et no matter where you are in the points. But really, for me, maybe my approach is a bit different.
I can look at the schedule and probably identify three or four races that I was less confident about than others, whether it's the performance much the car at the track or some other circumstance, you know, there are a few races that I'm less confident than other ones, and as we get through the season, and I can check off more of those races. And then I've got the ones I'm really comfortable with, you know, in my mind, sort of sitting there in the bag, I'm happier and more confident, but really anything can happen.
You can go to the track where you're second clear of everybody and you're driving really well and everything looks great and you can have a ten cent part fail and we've had that happen.
So really you have to put yourself in the position to win and then hope everything works out.
Q. For clarity again, it's getting yourself and your team ready for what you hope to be a championship run later in the year?
JEFF SEGAL: Yeah, absolutely, 100 percent. Right now I think the standings are sort of irrelevant. All we can do is make sure that we perform as well as we can and get as many points as opportunities present us with, and if we are in contention at the end, then we can start to race other people for sure.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you very much, and thank you Ozz and Jeff for joining us today. Best of luck in Saturday's Bosch Engineering 250 at VIR.

India eyes final berth against dark horse New Zealand
Manchester, Jul 8 (UNI) After having a dominant performance in the league stage, India will look to beat New Zealand and book a final berth as both teams face each other in the first semi-final of the ongoing World Cup at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
Team India topped the World Cup league stage points table with seven wins from eight games despite being hurt by a couple of injuries. India have suffered just one defeat against England in this World Cup so far.
On the other hand, the 2015 runners-up New Zealand had a mixed campaign so far as they won five matches and lost three matches from eight games.
The group stage encounter between these two teams got washed off due to rain.
For India, Rohit Sharma has been in sublime form while his new opening partner Lokesh Rahul has scored 77 and 111 in his last two innings.
Rohit also became the first batsman to score five centuries in a single World Cup and has scored 647 runs in this ongoing World Cup while India captain Virat Kohli is renowned for performing at the big occasion.
Pandya too has played some crucial knocks in couple of matches. However, the No 4 conundrum is still unsolved and middle-order woes can put India in trouble against New Zealand.
Meanwhile, New Zealand, who only qualified for the semi-finals in fourth place on the basis of net run-rate, have lost their last three games against Pakistan, Australia and England.
For New Zealand, captain Kane Williamson has been in great form and played match-winning hundreds against South Africa and the West Indies scoring 481 runs at this World Cup. A lot can be expected from Ross Taylor (261 runs) as he has been in tremendous form in some matches.
However, rest of the New Zealand batting order have failed to deliver in crunch situations and they have been overdependent on the duo of Williamson and Taylor in this World Cup.
India's bowling has been exceptional in the tournament. Fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been the spearhead of a well-balanced bowling attack and the likes of Mohammed Shami, Yuzvendra Chahal , Bhuvaneshwar and Kuldeep have also performed well.
New Zealand too have a dangerous bowling attack. The likes of Lockie Ferguson, Trent Boult, Matt Henry, Mitchell Santner can trouble any team on their day.

Kenny Fox
The Story of My African Connection
by Kenny Fox
I am known as Kenny Fox, and to my family as Llewellyn. I was born in St Kitts in the Caribbean and thought of myself as a 'small islander'. Caribbean people will know what I mean by this. Jamaicans tease us 'small islanders'. Now I know that I am an African - as we all are - but that wasn't what I was taught in school. We were secure in the understanding that we were British citizens, since St Kitts was a British Colony. Only later as a man, did I learn that Black people in the Caribbean are the descendants of African slaves who survived the 'slave-trade triangle'. Now I know that wherever you live in the world, that if you are Black, you are African.
I came to England aged ten, having been 'sent for' by my mother, who had herself come to England when I was a baby in the 1950s. I was raised by my maternal grandmother, Maria Taylor, in St Kitts. My mother joined a Black community in Derby, to work in the NHS. This was common practice in the 1950s. Many Caribbean people of my age share the same experience. Our parents answered the call from Britain to come and help rebuild the services after the war. We were all raised to feel our belonging to the 'Mother country' and that we would at some point tread the 'streets paved with gold'.
I didn't know my mother before the age of ten. I have no memory of a childhood spent with her or my father. My grandmother and grandfather, Papa Taylor, raised my sister and my cousins. I was born in 1955 in the Parish of St Ann, and grew up at the 'fort' and then in a village called Old Road. My father, Wallis Halliday, moved to the U.S.A for work. This was also very common. I have a whole other branch of my extended family in the States.
I look back on my childhood in St Kitts with very fond and happy memories and describe it now as 'idyllic' to other ears. Amongst my favourite memories are a completely natural way of life. I picked mangoes growing wild and in abundance, which I then went into town to sell, as a boy. I tended my own little vegetable plot to do the same. I made my own tools to look after my little garden. I recall fishing every day with a homemade stick and string. I used to go into the mountains to catch land crabs and carry them home in sacks for the cooking pot. I kept some crabs back and would smash them against the rocks in rock pools to draw the eels, which I would then bag up and take home. I can still vividly remember the crabs' pincers pinching my back and bottom as I carried them home in my little handmade sack. I swam in the sea every day with my cousins. I had no sense of danger, as I would run across the airfield and dodge planes to get to the other side, to play in the sugar cane fields or in the rainforest on the mountain. I could roam free as I wished. One of my daily chores was to take a packed lunch to my grandma who was labouring in the sugar cane field all day. Of course, now I know that was back breaking work for any adult but I had no sense of it then, nor of the legacy of slavery. Maria, my grandmother, was a very strong jet-black woman. My papa, her husband, called her the 'Conga woman' as a joke, so now we all take it mean that she came from the Congo region of Africa. She herself told us that her people were Santo Domingas. We now realise her predecessors were Haitian slaves. She was illiterate. She never went to school, I later came to learn. She told us her grandfather and grandmother were slaves. So, her parents were born into slavery. My grandmother was therefore a child born of slavery.
My maternal grandmother, Maria, named Maud Taylor-Ward, born in 1908
My grandmother, Maria, was named Maud Taylor-Ward, and was born in 1908 on the Brighton Bay Estates in St Mary Cayon on the island of St Kitts. She was told that she was born in the longhouse while the 'massa' lived in the Great House on the plantation. She said that her paternal grandparents, who she was close to, were 'Congo' people and she described how they would dance to the sound of drum beats. 'Congo' people was a term used throughout the African diaspora to describe newly arriving Africans to the Caribbean. Although the British abolished the trade in slaves in 1807, many people were still stolen and extracted from the African continent and brought through the infamous 'Middle Passage' to the Americas. Slaves of the British colonies were finally granted emancipation in 1833.
My grandparents Maude Ward and 'Papa' Nehemiah Taylor wed in 1939. Together they had eight children, the third-born, Catherine is my mother. Papa was a carpenter and was able to find plenty of work. He was a light skinned Black man who my mother says had Chinese forbears. I remember him as stern. His harshest punishment was to hit me across my buttocks with the flat edge of his saw. By all accounts I was quite a wild child. I frequently dodged school to do my own thing; the usual, exploring playing, growing and making things - which I saw then as far more important. I loved wildlife and liked to 'fix' broken creatures I found. I remember looking after baby birds I found fallen out of nests and fixing a bird's wing by making a little splint. I loved the outside life. I liked to make my own little tools and build what I needed. But I wasn't a loner. My life was rich with play and exploration. I loved learning from what I could see around me, joined by my sister and cousins. I was known as 'sunny man' of our village. That was my nickname. I had a little round belly since I was called for dinner at all the houses. I never felt hunger of the stomach or soul.
'Papa' Nehemiah Taylor, my grandfather.
Myself, Kenneth Llewellyn Fox, aged 16, as a prefect at Dale Secondary School, Derby.
I arrived in England for the first time at age ten, and was met by mother and her new husband with four sisters and a brother. My Kittitian sister had been sent for ahead of me. But my new family I had never met. Imagine that for a moment. But it didn't feel strange. They were my family, and as pleased to meet me as I them. Upon arriving in Derby, our home town, I was so excited to kick off my shoes and run outside to play, as I was used to. However, my mother told me "no! you can't do that now you are in England, son!" Yes, that was the first of many changes I didn't take to too readily. Another memory that amuses me now was going swimming with my new school for the first time. I had been told about it and could barely wait for so much excitement and anticipation. I ran out of the changing room and jumped into the pool immediately… with my socks still on! Further fun I had in that first week at school was the delight of being sent to school with my lunch money in my hand to pay for the week ahead. But I didn't do that. I spent it all on Dinky toy cars, but then expected to eat for free all week. I daren't tell my mum and school didn't tell her, so I had to go hungry all week. So, that was in fact my first experience of hunger of the stomach. Hunger of the soul came with my first experiences of racism.
School was quite diverse. There were the Black kids, all Caribbean, the Indian kids and the white kids. Of course, the hierarchy was in the reverse order to that. I taught a few harsh lessons to kids at school and for one boy who called me 'Blackie' I took a baseball bat to school and I bashed him over the head with it. I remember my sister from St Kitts telling me a boy had hit her, so I bashed him too. Respect had to be fought for, I thought.
Actually, I made loads of friends at school from all corners of life and I still have those childhood school friends today. Amongst my favourite experiences are playing football all day long at the weekends. As a young man, I played in an all 'West Indian' football team against many other local teams at the parks. Aged 16 I took up Taekwondo, which I practiced diligently and later became 3rd Dan Black belt and ran four of my own martial arts schools in the city. Through this I learned to be humble, walk away from fights and earn a different kind of respect. I started at the gym at age sixteen too and have been very fit and extremely strong all my life.
Sadly, at age 16 came another life shaping change. I was at school and hoped to go to college to study Technical Drawing. I was very good at it and loved the precision of measurements and design making. But my stepfather, who had adopted me and from whom I gained the surname Fox, was abusive to my mother and I would defend her. One day it came to a head when I stopped him from hitting her and he told me there cannot be two men in the house. So, I had to leave. I remember spending several days sleeping rough on the streets and coming to mum's back door at night to be fed in secret. My mum gave me the address of my paternal grandmother in London and told me that she would accept me if I went to live with her there. This period is my biggest regret in life. Through this, I missed an opportunity to train in technical drawing which I absolutely loved and exceeded at. This began a period of me trying my hand at every job available. I had always been resourceful and able to stand on my own two feet. I was very independent and not thrown into chaos. I rustproofed cars, tried aluminium smelting, building, landscape gardening, painting and decorating, security guarding and working as a 'doorman' for pubs and clubs. After two years I returned to Derby fully able to support myself. I married young for the first time and had my first child, a daughter, at age twenty-one. I went on to have eight children in all, four boys and four girls and married for a second time.
In my Taekwondo days.
Me with my mum Catherine
It is due to my second marriage that I live in East Yorkshire. I married in Beverley in 1990. This is where my wife's parents live. Her father was in the British Army and their last posting was to Leconfield. So, they settled in Beverley. My wife went to Nottingham University age 18 and then to Derby after, to do her teacher training. She teaches at a local Beverley primary school. Our children went to local Beverley schools and Hull University. It is in Beverley, where I have finally found my true vocation. Like my Papa before me, I am a qualified and skilled carpenter and joiner. I attended East Riding College and gained all the qualifications I needed. I find it amusing that I need that piece of paper to prove my skill when really, I am qualified through my life experiences but I needed it, so I got it. I make beautiful wooden furniture for a local company 'Alexander Ellis', formerly known as 'Beverley Pine' and Farmhouse Furniture. It gives me a great sense of satisfaction to know that hundreds of families all over our local area, the entire country and indeed abroad, enjoy using my handcrafted furniture and bespoke designs. Sometimes I get the opportunity to deliver, fit and assemble my furniture in people's homes and I love to see it all sitting there as peoples' prized purchase. I don't explain that I actually make it. It is enough for me to feel the great pleasure I take in making it. I am at my happiest in the workshop. I even have a workshop at home, where I make furniture for family, friends and ourselves. I tend our beautiful garden and love to maintain our own home. I keep ferrets and have a cat. Funny how things seem to have come full circle. I have recreated my own Caribbean paradise in a little corner of Yorkshire I can call my own.

Color Splash: Gawkers Still Flocking As App Gets Slammed, News API Planned
Ingrid Lunden Mar 25, 2011 - 8:09 AM CDT
"18hrs in. 1st exp needs tutorial. finding people must get easier. UI too minimal. long road. grt people. lots of capital. #wecandobetter" That was the tweet made by Bill Nguyen, one of the founders of the app Color on its first day on the Android and Apple (NSDQ: AAPL) app stores. Only one day old, the photo-based social networking app has been met with a huge flood of interest — it's already the 27th most-popular app in Apple's App Store in the U.S. and 54th in the UK — and an equally huge flood of criticism, for all the reasons Nguyen mentions, and more.
The app — which launched yesterday with $41 million in funding in its pocket and after only seven months from conception to launch — has already started adding little modifications to its app store page (an email for technical support and a license agreement) to try to clarify some of the bigger questions have been having about how to use the app. There is also a prominent note at the top, "WARNING: DON'T USE COLOR ALONE." And the app itself has also been updated already, fixing bugs and making other minor changes.
But even so, there is still little in the way of instructions, and for an app that is focused on visual images as the main source of communication, Color is still lacking in non-verbal intuitiveness for how best to use it. And that's something still being pointed out by the "geeks" — as my colleague likes to call them (us) — who have downloaded it first. Just think of how annoyed a cool, non-geek user might get.
Other issues that people have pointed out include problems with security ("stalkers" were one of the nasty possibilities mentioned by one of our readers); and the sheer feeling that this is the work of a bubble-economy rather than something meaningful.
In an interview with Business Insider, Nguyen has given some more detail about what developments the company has planned for the app. The plans include tutorials for new users, but also a pretty interesting list of possible uses for the service once things get rolling.
How fast these ideas get adopted — both by Color and actual users — will be crucial in this service actually capitalising on the attention it's had so far for being the possible "next big thing":
— Not photo sharing but secure information collection: The site is focused on knowing what others around you, and in your circle, are doing, but without the use of last names, addresses and passwords, there will be a limit to how much others can know about you, he says. That could prove to be a major boost for the app at a time when other sites like Facebook are getting slammed for revealing and using personal information in their wider business strategies.
— Harnessing all the bells and whistles: As we pointed out yesterday, it's not just the camera, but the microphone and mapping/location technologies that are getting used by Color. When that information gets collected, Color will organise it in ways that you wouldn't expect: not just grouping people by location, but putting the "best" picture of one event at the top of the timeline for all the people in a particular vicinity.
— News API: Nguyen describes this as "a service where journalists can take photos with our application and click on one application called the Add Color button and click on a map to add more information. So for example if you're at CES, you can click on a map, expand the range, and every photo taken at CES will now be linked to that article you wrote. That can be an amazing tool for people to collect news and share data in real time." He says the developers are working hard on this one already, and aim for it to be available only to journalists going through an approval process on the site.
No word on whether it would be free like the app itself or sold as a service, or how a journalist would be able to use it in a way that wouldn't make the end product exactly the same as that of any other journalist that used it at a common event.

Home / Polygraph History
History of polygraph cannot be explained without a small prelude about Detection of Deception.
The detection of deception started as soon as an organized intent on having a fair society arose. Many writings have been discoverd on archaic ways to detect if somebody was telling the truth. For instance, in West Africa persons suspected of a crime were made to pass a bird's egg to one another. If a person broke the egg, then he or she was considered guilty.
In Ancient China, during a prosecutor's speech the suspect held a handful of rice in his or her mouth. Since salivation was believed to cease at times of emotional anxiety, the person was considered guilty if by the end of that speech the rice remained dry.
Forensic science is a scientific method of gathering and examining evidence and polygraph is an integral part of Forensic science. Crimes are often solved with the use of pathological examinations that gather fingerprints, palm prints, footprints, tooth bite prints, blood, hair and fiber samples. Handwriting and typewriting samples are studied, including all ink, paper, and typography. Now polygraph has become a cost effective method in the selection or illimination of suspects/witnesses as well as an important interrogation tool.
ImageBallistics techniques are used to identify weapons as well as voice identification techniques are used to identify criminals.
The first recorded application of medical knowledge to the solution of crime. In the 1248 Chinese book Hsi DuanYu or the Washing Away of Wrongs, ways to distinguish between death by drowning or death by strangulation were described.
Italian doctor, Fortunatus Fidelis is recognized as being the first person to practice modern forensic medicine, beginning in 1598. Forensic medicine is the "application of medical knowledge to legal questions." It became a recognized branch of medicine in the early 19th century.
An earlier and less successful lie detector or polygraph was invented by James Mackenzie in 1902. However, the modern polygraph instrument was invented by John Larson in 1921 and was later improved upon by Leonard Keeler between 1930 and 1940. A police officer in Chicago called the new instrument the "Compact Keeler Polygraph". Regardless of the advancements in the field, the concept behind the "Compact Keeler Polygraph" remains but the same system that exsisted with Keeler but now in a digital format.

looking at FTTC as a potential new customer and i am a little confused by the tariffs wth is all this unit stuff? i dont want to be limited on what i can download or use by the time of day seems like we have stepped back 15 odd years or am i reading it wrong?
Yes, the normal unit based tariff can be confusing to understand. Do not go for this if you use your connection intensively during peak hours (Mon-Fri 9am-6pm) as the expense will rack up rapidly. That is why AA introduced the Home::1 package.
You may be better suited to a mass market ISP such as BT or Sky, who offer unlimited for around £30.
I was looking at them for FTTC at my new house, but decided to stick with AAISP instead (as I sometimes download a lot and I can schedule that between their 2am-6am night-time special slot, effectively meaning I can download way more in a month than what Goscomb can provide for the same price, and even Zen for that matter).
Goscomb can do 120Gb/month for £36.00/month (inc VAT) but that's only on a 40/10 connection (+£4 for 80/20). Remember also, switching provider is not going to solve the underlying issue as to why interleaving is being applied on your line - you'll be in the same situation if you switch providers.
I'm not sure if you are going to get what you want from any of these niche providers like AAISP and Goscomb. As has been said, maybe better to try one of the more "sheeple" type ones (BT/Sky). I wasn't interested in that as I do not trust the whole unlimited splurge. What I mean by that is - yes, it will be unlimited, but they'll likely traffic manage your connection where necessary, and slow it down if they need to. I'd rather manage (and pay for accordingly) my usage instead, and have a fast clean connection without any of that tampering.
If latency really is the main issue here, and you were only a few hundred yards from the exchange, I would suggest moving back to ADSL2+ on an LLU provider - you would then be able to fixate the line to fastpath and keep it that way. But I gather you went with FTTC for the speed - which unfortunately has this automated DLM shenanigans at the cabinet.
150gig on aaisp is a little bit more than your zen package, and the difference also been zen are 10x the price of aaisp for topup bandwidth.

Home (When Shadows Fall)
Written by: Peter van Steeden, Geoffrey Clarkson, Harry Clarkson
John Pizzarelli: guitar
Mike Mainieri: vibraphone
The second song on Sir Paul McCartney's 2012 album Kisses On The Bottom was a cover version of 'Home (When Shadows Fall)', written in 1931 by Peter Van Steeden, Harry Clarkson and Jeff Clarkson.
The song had a long history for McCartney; The Quarrymen and The Beatles performed it in their various early incarnations between 1957 and 1960. It was dropped from The Beatles' live set shortly after The Mills Brothers released their own recording in June 1960.
There's a track called 'Home' that I remember from my dad's era. It's funny, when I suggested that one, Diana [Krall] said, 'Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only person on earth who knew that song.' I actually used to do an instrumental version of it, before The Beatles. I liked the chords, so I used to play a little guitar instrumental when me and John were just getting it together. So I had nice memories of that one.
'Home (When Shadows Fall)' became an instant hit for van Steeden and the Clarksons. In the first year it was recorded by The Dorsey Brothers, Ruth Etting, Arthur Tracy and Merle Johnston with Smith Ballew. The following year Louis Armstrong recorded it for the first time; he taped another version in 1957.
Other famous readings of 'Home (When Shadows Fall)' came from Dean Martin (1966), Nat King Cole (1950), the Harry James Orchestra (1944) and Slim Whitman (1972). However, perhaps the most famous is Sam Cooke's, first released on his 1964 album Ain't That Good News.
The basic track for 'Home (When Shadows Fall)' was recorded at Avatar Studios in New York, with the orchestra overdubbed at Abbey Road Studios in London. The rhythm arrangement was by Diana Krall.
Evening marks the close of day
Skies of blue begin to grey
Crimson hues are fading in the west
Evening ever brings to me
Dreams of days that used to be
Memories of those I love the best
When shadows fall
And trees whisper, 'Day is ending'
My thoughts are ever wending home
When crickets call
My heart is forever yearning
Once more to be returning home
When the hills conceal the setting sun
Stars begin a-peeping, one by one
Night covers all
And though fortune may forsake me
Sweet dreams will ever take me home

Ipsen is moving its U.S. headquarters to Kendall Square in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The French drugmaker is the latest in a series of European companies to pick the biotech hotspot as their U.S. base.
Paris-based Ipsen established a toehold in the city in 2014 and went on to boost its presence last year through a $1.25 billion deal with Merrimack. Now, Ipsen is moving its U.S. headquarters from New Jersey to Kendall Square, positioning it to add more than 200 people to its Cambridge workforce in the years to come.
The arrivals will move into a building already occupied by an Ipsen external innovation team, which will serve as its new U.S. headquarters. Another team will continue to work out of the Cambridge manufacturing site Ipsen picked up in the deal with Merrimack.
Basking Ridge, New Jersey, is the loser in the reorganization. Ipsen will retain a 30-person back office team in the area, The Boston Globe reports, but the headquarters will move up to Cambridge over the next 12 months. Once the process is complete, Cambridge will sit alongside Paris and Oxford, U.K., as one of Ipsen's three hubs.
Ipsen, like many European companies before it, has zeroed in on the Boston and Cambridge area as the ideal launchpad for its efforts to establish itself as a partner and employer of choice for biotechs and life science researchers.
"We wanted to be in the most innovative square mile in the world," Richard Paulson, chief executive of Ipsen's North American operations, told the Globe.
Large and small drugmakers alike have reached similar conclusions, leading to the concentration of companies in biotech hotspots such as Cambridge and Oxford. With Ipsen having bases in both the cities, it is well placed to keep tabs on opportunities as they arise.

Q: $n \times n$ invertible matrix defining diffeomorphism I was reading the proof of the Hairy Ball Theorem in Madsen and Tornehave's book "From calculus to cohomology", and at some point they refer to the Lemma 6.14, which says the following:
An invertible real $n \times n$ matrix $A$ defines a linear isomorphism $\mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$ and a diffeomorphism $f_A : \mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\} \to \mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\}$.
Lemma 6.14: For each $n \geq 2$, the induced map $f_A^\ast: H^{n-1}(\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\}) \to H^{n-1}(\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\})$ operates by multiplication by $\det A / |\det A| \in \{\pm 1\}$.
I understand how the matrix induces a linear isomorphism, but how is the diffeomorphism $f_A$ defined, and why is this assertion true?

A: The linear isomorphism $f_A: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n$ given by multiplication by $A$ is a diffeomorphism essentially by definition of the standard smooth structure on $\mathbb{R}^n$. Then it is a general fact that a diffeomorphism, when restricted to an open submanifold, is a diffeomorphism onto its image. In this case, the image of $(f_A) \rvert_{\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\}}$ is $\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\}$, so we have an induced diffeomorphism $(f_A) \rvert_{\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\}}:\mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\} \to \mathbb{R}^n \setminus \{0\}$.
