Battlefield 4 Game Modes Revealed
Evil Ambassador Reyes
Battlefield 4 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated next gen FPS games so far. And from all the trailers, gameplay reveals, and multiplayer gameplay videos we've watched, we can tell you that it's looking incredible.
The only problem is, and as unfortunate as this sounds, there is a point in time where the good graphics, awesome weapon customization, great destructible environment and every other cool aspect of Battlefield 4 gets boring, and to make the game life last longer, DICE are going to have to make sure there is more to do on multiplayer.
To accomplish this goal, DICE have made a bunch of new game modes for the BF4 multiplayer, and they have revealed them all this week. In total there are seven different game modes.
Conquest best explains what Battlefield is best known for- awesome ground, air and sea combat, fused in with on-foot battles for total conquest.
Domination is a fast paced game type for those that don't have the time to invest in a lengthy game of Conquest. All vehicles are removed, and instead it's all down to on-foot infantry combat. Maps are considerably smaller, and things usually get down a whole lot faster.
Obliteration
In Obliteration, each team must rush to the randomly placed bomb on the map and use it to detonate a certain area on the map. The bomb area is always going to be a hotspot for combat, and both bomb plant points will need to be watched carefully to stop any bomb carriers achieving their goal.
Defuse
If you've ever played Search & Destroy on Call of Duty, you'll recognize this game type. Players are given only one life per round, and one team must attempt to plant a bomb, whilst the other team must defuse it. If all players of one team are eliminated, the other team wins.
The classic. Instant team vs. team action.
In Rush, one team must destroy two points, whilst the defending team must protect it. Each team has a limited amount of respawns, so teams will have to be careful with the way they use their lives.
Squad Deathmatch
If you prefer to work in a smaller tight-knit group, Squad Deathmatch is the game for you. In Squad Deathmatch, 4 teams of 5 fight it off in a simple deathmatch game type.

Just need to vent/get support
Submitted by phoenixgirl78 on 01/27/2010.
My husband and I just had a huge argument. He's left to blow off some steam and I'm sitting here getting ready for bed and crying. Here's the backstory:
We're coming up on our second wedding anniversary, fourth "being together" anniversary. As I'm learning about ADD, it's becoming a lot easier to talk to him and find solutions for various problems. It's trial and error but it's going pretty well overall.
The big thing is that he's been out of work for ages. He was lucky enough to get on unemployment so we're surviving, but we're down to the last three months. Meanwhile, his friend's wedding is Feb 19th and Tim will have to fly up to Washington to be there. Originally, they were going to have the ceremony in Feb and the reception in April. So I'd talked Tim into waiting until April. Even with airline miles and such, we'll be spending $110 to get him there, plus the cost of a rental car. At least TIm's parents live in the area, so he can stay with them. Still, we're looking at $300-400, easy. And we're trying to get OUT of debt. And my contract work is probably ending in June. So there's a bit of a deadline.
Anyway, today we found out everything is happening in Feb now. So if Tim doesn't want to miss his best friend's wedding, he has to go then. I told him that it would be okay -- so long as he tried to get some form of work for the next three weeks. That would extend his unemployment benefits. Otherwise, he'll come back and have just 8 weeks to find a job.
I pointed out to him that no regular job is going to hire him if he has to leave so soon... for 5 days. I guess we could make it less, but he has friends up there he'll want to see too.
So I was suggesting he consider this Craigslist ad for flyers. You put out a bunch of them a day and on average you get 3-6 people per week calling in based on the flyer. You get paid based on people signing up. Tim was saying, "Okay but there's no guarantee that I'd get the credit for it." My basic point was, "Well, really, what the hell is the big deal?" I mean, he hasn't worked in ages. And I know he has a work ethic. But it's scary for him to go back to work because he had so many health problems up in Washington thanks to the humidity up there. (He has REALLY severe eczema -- as in, can't put clothes on when it's bad.) He has such a spotty work history because his skin would start to act up, he'd miss too many days and get fired. So I understand -- and have tried to be understanding about -- the slight procrastination taht has been going on.
But c'mon! If he works for 30-40 hours for a week and sees no results, what has he lost really? He got annoyed because he felt like I was pushing him to take it. My point was mostly that he was already starting to shut it down. I think his exact phrasing was, "I'll check it out; but if it turns out the way I think it will, I won't be comfortable with it."
I am guessing my guy isn't the only ADDer who paints his own paradigm. If he has optimism, he tends to miss all the glaring, blaring warning signs and detractions. And if he's even remotely pessimistic about something, 9 times out of 10, he'll only see the bad. So I kept trying to tell him that I was just worried that he was shutting it down before it even began. He argued that he had just said he'd check it out and what more did I want? I replied that I wanted him not to go in with too pessimistic an attitude because it would color his perception and pretty much guarantee it didn't work out.
And, while he's the one who has to actually do the work, I really don't see the big deal in his "wasting" a week or two and potentially not seeing any results. Because there's also the possibility that he will. And if nothing comes of it, he can still claim unemployment. So as I see it, it's (kind of) win-win. At least, it's a draw.
I suppose I was pushing a little hard, but only because there really aren't all that many jobs he could go out and get for only 3 weeks. It's pretty much this or Labor Ready. So I told him it scared me to see him more or less dismissing one of our two very crappy choices right now. I told him to go ahead and try for a week to find something else. But I just didn't want him to just give up on the job before even checking it out. Does anyone else know an ADDer who more or less paints his own picture and realigns reality to fit with it? (I know we all do to some extent but...)
Anyway, it lead to a bigger argument because then he did the utter surrender thing which drives me crazy. The "Okay fine, I'll do whatever you want." I know that should technically be a good thing. I think he means it to be a good thing. But as I've explained in countless iterations, I don't want him to just give up completely. I want compromise. I don't want him to always see things as his way or my way. In this case, I probably should have just accepted the turnaround. But I was frustrated and scared and he'd raised his voice so I was pissed.
And then. He pulled a card he had no right to. I asked him to tell me what other choices he thought we had. If a job wouldn't take him when he was going to miss days so early on, what was his solution? "I dunno," he said, throwing up his hands and slouching back on the couch. "Blow my brains out?"
This wouldn't be acceptable in anyone, of course. But he's actually been suicidal before -- years before we met -- and I've been suicidal during our marriage. I have severe depression and my medications weren't working well enough. So this was beyond... anything. I started yelling at him that he can never, ever pull that, uh, well let's just say "crap" lest I offend anyone. That if he really felt that way, I'd take him to a hospital right now, lack of insurance be damned. But if he didn't, then he had NO right to say it or use it.
Later, when he was getting ready to leave to blow off some steam, he explained that he felt like I was once again backing him into a corner. I kept trying to explain that I didn't think I was. Or at least, I hadn't meant to. But that it just scared me to hear him already deciding how things were going to go. He protested, but then he doesn't really see how his optimism/pessimism change his reality. He kept insisting he had promised to check it out. And I kept trying to explain that it was the way he said it that made me think he'll dimiss it out of hand. And we don't have the luxury of that right now.
In the end, he said he'll just get a job for the next few weeks and then quit afterward, but that's hardly the option I want either. I wanted him to find part-time work so he could ease himself back into having a job. It's just so ridiculous because I guess we both feel trapped. Him by trying to find a yes/no answer to a question that can't be answered that way. When I get angry, he just wants to calm me down. Problem is, I wasn't angry until we started arguing about him being dismissive. And his 180-degree turn to "Okay fine, whatever you want" feels pretty dismissive too.
But I feel trapped, too. No matter what I say or do, I feel like I'm putting pressure on him. Well, I am. But I've kept the pressure low for a year and a half now. And over the past couple of months, I've mentioned that I want him to get more serious about finding something part-time. But I'm on the computer a lot for my work and unless I remind him, he tends to forget to look around. So I feel like I'm doing all of the compromising. I don't want to get $400 deeper in debt. And I'm pretty sure it'll be more than that, in the end. He'll try his best but impulsivity can rear its head even in the best of times. And there is just so much unknown right now about our future. But I feel like I'm the only one really takign it seriously. Like he just shuts it out of his mind because it's too scary and too nebulous for him to deal with.
And most of all, I'm pissed at the emotional blackmail he pulled with the suicide thing. It feels like a betrayal, given my problems in the past couple of years. And I've already gotten on his case about emotional blackmail before. He has that fun attitude of "Well, if you're accusing me of it, I may as well do it." (Is this an ADD thing or just a snotty guy attitude?) I keep telling him that's essentially telling me that I have to have perfect feelings about everything or he'll use it as an excuse to do something. I don't even accuse him of that much. Generally, it's because I couldn't trust his smoking habits, because he had lied a few times when he would start up again. And I was trying to explain that those actions shook my trust in him. Because how do I know what else he might lie about? And what's his argument there? Well if you're going to accuse me of it, I might as well do it. That way, it's worth going through the hassle of your accusations.
Okay, this is an epic post. I am distraught and a fast typist and it's not a good combination. There are just so many aspects to this particular situation that I don't really know what to do.
I know this story

My ADD guy does much that is similar. He often decides what will happen in advance in a given situation, mostly expecting a completely negative outcome, when the likelihood of a negative outcome is actually very low. He still does this, despite much evidence to the contrary.
And my guy also says in a resigned voice "OK I'll do whatever you want" and gives in. I don't like it either, that's not partnership. He feels disrespected by me - if I question something, even out of curiousity, I'm being disrespectful. Doesn't matter how much I tread softly, one carelessly said word and I "don't respect him anymore". I think he gives in to keep the peace.
And he also mentions suicide, has done a few times. "Poor me, I'm worthless, good for nothing". I don't know how seriously to take it - while I understand his despair is real in that moment, he hasn't actually tried anything, and within a short time he can be laughing again.
I have also kept the pressure low on my side, waiting till we have found our rhythm so I could step forward with confidence, but that hasn't happened. We haven't found our rhythm, and I am getting tired of swallowing any negativity/criticism for fear of causing him hurt (and me resultant additional stress).
In the mean time, he says hurtful things often, then I slowly knit myself back together, on my own. We're certainly not getting better at helping each other feel loved and supported during times of stress.
My guy has never said "if you're accusing me of it, I may as well do it". But then I don't think my guy has ever lied to me.
I send you my support!

I'm lucky enough that my guy doesn't say hurtful things -- last night being the exception. He came back and admitted it was hurtful and nasty and he was sorry. I thanked him and said that helped, but it was going to take me awhile to recover from that.
I think the sensitivity to criticism or thoughts is one of the hardest to overcome in otherwise functional ADDers. My guess is that they just took so much crap growing up for not behaving, not thinking normally, etc etc. But my guy is often made of glass. Once, he wanted to show his mom something while she was talking to me. She told him, "In a minute Tim. I'm talking to Abby." I actually watched his face FALL. I'd never seen it before on a person. Yeesh.
I've learned, over time, to find a balance in the negative thing. Partially, Tim has learned to accept that I love him and am supportive of him. But he also suggest that I "sandwich" negative things. It's kind of annoying at times and it feels very cliche. But essentially saying something good, something I am hoping he can work on, then something good. It seems to help. The other road I take is to just phrase it carefully. Usually starting with, "It's not a huge deal but something I'd like you to work on is..." Or immediately taking my share of the blame on things, ala "I forgot to remind you it's partially my fault but..." That helps him understand that I'm not completely blasting him.
And smoking is the only thing he's ever lied about. Technically sin of ommission but it's still a biggie. Mainly, he was afraid of how I'd react. Still, that's not a good enough reason. I still trust him, but that complete trust was a bit rattled. It makes it hard.
Also, about your guy...
If your guy is consistently saying stuff about suicide and being good for nothing, if you have insurance for him I'd consider getting him to see someone. Tim actually really liked going to a therapist, once I got him to give it a try. I think it's the lack of judgment and the time that is just for them.
Back when I was resistan to the idea of anti-depressants, I told a depressive friend, "But 70 or 80 percent of the time I'm fine. Then I'll be really down for a bit. Then I'm okay again." He pondered it for a moment and said, "I think it's not about how often the lows come but about how big a difference there is between the lows and the highs."
I've been suicidal before. Never tried anything, but plenty of severely depressed people don't. Doesn't mean they don't want to die. I'm not trying to scare you. There's every chance that he's doing it as a form of guilt.
But ADDers have such low self-esteem to begin with, I would consider talking to him or getting him to talk to someone else. And remember that when he's fine, he'll dismiss it as no big deal. Just try to find out *how* seriously the thought comes into his head. And how often.

I am sitting at the El Paso airport, waiting to board my flight to ATL. What better time to catch up on some blogging?
16. What did you accomplish?
In June, I finished my first year of teaching. That was an accomplishment. Let me tell you right now that I am very glad it is over. After thousands of dollars, hundreds of hours of work, countless classes at Aderhold Hall and dozens of papers and projects, I was so glad to get my first year of teaching under my belt.
Some of my lovely fellow teacher friends from UGA.
17. When were you the most grateful?
This question is hard for me, folks. If you've been around here long, you know the whole gratitude thing is something I have been learning pretty much all year long. It has kind of been my theme and anthem. So to choose how to answer when I was the most grateful is a difficult task. But I can say that there are some moments when I am in class with my kids, and I look at them and think, "I am blessed." I just feel so much love for them. I know it sounds sappy and sentimental, but I love them so very much. Some of my most grateful moments occur in the daily grind.
The crazies and I on the last day of school last year.

You might think that after the ignoring of voters and advocates by politicians for decades, a November 2016 ballot initiative that legalized marijuana—against the wishes of most elected officials in Massachusetts—would ring in a 2017 that was glorious for local reformers. But that's just not how things work around here.
Instead, the longstanding cannabis community was made to battle reefer-mad power brokers at every turn. As predicted by many, 2017 simply marked the beginning of a longer campaign after the prior year's victory, an endless political war over recreational cannabis policy in the Commonwealth.
In January, DigBoston was one of just a few outlets to report that an unchecked Massachusetts Board of Registration in Medicine (BORIM) was refusing to reinstate the medical license of Dr. John Nadolny. Along with Mass Gov. Charlie Baker, BORIM became tangled in a sad political play against cannabis, a game that was exposed after an appeals judge ruled that Nadolny's license should have never even been suspended in the first place. In their role, the Boston media was worse than complicit, with outlets including FOX 25 (which has since changed its name to BOSTON 25) gleefully reporting on the unlawful suspension.
On Beacon Hill, in February we reported about Bob DeLeo and his sham committee for cannabis, which was stacked with losing prohibitionists wishing to invalidate the new law that a majority of voters pulled for.
In April, we turned to the human side, anchoring our 4-20 issue with a feature about local veterans advocate Stephen Mandile, who discussed his lobbying push against those same prohibitionists. Mandile also enlightened us about topics like the use of cannabis to combat opiate abuse, as well as the initiative by veterans and others to grow marijuana cooperatively.
Also in April, we reported the rift in the medical cannabis community over the lack of delivery services and the fact that a leading patients group was pushing for the shutdown of gray market providers who were filling in the void.
A short time later, some local dispensaries did begin offering rebates to new patients to cover the cost of their medical marijuana cards, as well as new discounts for veterans. At least one dispensary trotted out a new statewide delivery service (with a hefty fee, of course, but progress nonetheless).
Toward the end of June, as lawmakers worked to dismantle the cannabis bill passed by voters, my team from The Young Jurks protested outside of House Speaker Bob DeLeo's home in Winthrop. We expected some possible pushback, but we weren't expecting it to come from MassCann/NORML.
The result? DeLeo got a higher tax, made it easier for some local cities and towns to opt out of retail sales, and gutted the expungement for past cannabis crimes. But still the community was at least partially heard, as reformers like Jehlen fought hard to ensure that co-ops and inclusion for communities harmed by the war on drugs were included in the final compromise.
And it was no wonder that, as local reform leaders of color—including but not limited to Shaleen Title (a co-author of the legalization initiative that's since been named to the state's Cannabis Control Commission (CCC)), Shanel Lindsay, Sonia Espinosa, Joseph Gilmour, and Kamani Jefferson—were plugged directly into the conversation, the communities they represent were heard at public hearings and beyond. Furthermore, veterans like Mandile and the others, representing other marginalized communities through the newly founded Massachusetts Cannabis Consumers Council, became a critical source of information for media and lawmakers alike.
In September, the town of Milford voted to ban rec cannabis shops, becoming the first to do so under the new law. Other municipalities followed to different degrees, while voters in some places—Salem, Amesbury, and Newbury—said no to bans and yes to moving forward on shops. In Amesbury, a local native of the city, Scott Winters, led a coalition to a landslide victory over the ban.
In October, Boston City Councilor Tito Jackson made cannabis policy an issue in his losing bid for mayor against incumbent Martin Walsh.
Later that month, New England Treatment Access, a registered medical dispensary in Massachusetts, stepped in it by submitting a memo, through law firm Foley Hoag, to the state's newly formed CCC advocating to give registered medical dispensaries a head start on recreational licensing, and to put co-ops and craft cannabis programs on the back burner. The community wanted none of that and came out in droves to testify that co-ops and inclusion programs should become a priority.
Just presented proposed regulations licensing cannabis cafes and businesses (yoga studios, movie theaters, etc) that allow cannabis use. Passed unanimously.Presenting statewide equity program tomorrow….
The following day, measures were voted down, 4-to-1, that would have advanced programs that can create equity for populations that have been harmed by prohibition. Specifically, there will be no bring your own cannabis licensing, single-day consumption licenses, or delivery-only licenses.
MRCC, meanwhile, has created a petition to ask the CCC to reconsider its decision.
On the personal side, a major loss was the death of activist/entrepreneur Mickey Martin on June 20. Martin helped open the now-shuttered Northeastern Institute of Cannabis, while the nonprofit that he also helped found, Parents 4 Pot, is currently gathering funds and presents for children of parents jailed for cannabis offenses (the struggle doesn't end just because Christmas is over).
And in more bad news to end December on, last week it was reported that the two co-founders of Mass Genetics, local legends and High Times Cannabis Cup winners, were raided by the DEA and are being charged in federal court.
What a year for legal weed it's been.


Are you looking for a way to clean that involves less elbow grease? Are you looking for a healthier way to clean? Have you considered switching to vapor steam cleaning? Vapor steam cleaning is a unique cleaning method that uses high temperature (240 to 280 degrees), water vapor, and pressure to clean, sanitize and deodorize in one easy operation. Although these systems have been around since the 1970s, the early models were expensive and cumbersome. Models of steam vapor machines on the market today are lighter, easier to use, and affordable.

FEATURE: Testimonial Tales - Harry Roberts
In a feature first published in Matchday Programme PUSB, writer Rob Mason looks back on Coventry City Testimonials of the past - starting with defender Brian 'Harry' Roberts...
Brian 'Harry' Roberts
Coventry City 1973 to 1983, 249 appearances, two goals.
Other clubs: Hereford United (loan), Birmingham City, Wolves
THE TESTIMONIAL
COVENTRY CITY PAST XI 4-4 COVENTRY CITY PRESENT
Hunt Spring 2
Roberts (pen) Singleton
Carr Jol
Monday 10th September 1984, Highfield Road
Being known to one and all by a name that is not yours has been the case for several exceptionally popular footballers. Former England international 'Tim' Coleman was not really Tim at all, but John. He was one of the game's biggest characters before World War One. Similarly 'Ivor' Broadis; until his death last year England's oldest living international, was not called Ivor but Ivan. They were both great characters. Broadis was the player / manager who transferred himself while Coleman was a leading light amongst the rebel players who formed a union in defiance of FA Rules. During World War One he was incorrectly reported as having been killed in action but in fact died during World War Two when he fell off a roof in London.
In the case of 'Harry' Roberts he has four names but none of them are Harry. Brian Leslie Ford Roberts was only 11 when the infamous criminal Harry Roberts committed the most notorious crimes of a wayward lifetime that only saw him finally released from prison six years ago. Inevitably, if unfortunately, as Brian began to make his way in the game with the surname Roberts it was his destiny to acquire the nick-name 'Harry'. There is an irony there because while the real Harry Roberts came from the shadier side of life, the man who became a footballing hero has always been blessed with a light-hearted approach - except when on the pitch as a tenacious full-back who – regardless of his 'name-sake' – would take no prisoners.
Manchester born, Brian / 'Harry' began his career at Coventry, becoming a professional in May 1974. As a young player looking for a break-through he had the ideal tutor in Sky Blues stalwart John Sillett. He was managing Hereford United at the time and took young Roberts on loan from top-flight City, giving him a debut in a 3-2 home win over Grimsby in February 1975. Lower-league goal machine Dixie McNeil scored twice that day as Roberts started with a 3-2 win. It would be one of five third tier games 'Harry' would get under his belt before his Coventry debut.
That arrived in April 1976 at Spurs. Around this time Highfield Road regulars heard about this young lad 'Harry' Roberts but were kept wondering about him as he had made ten first team appearances for Coventry before finally getting a home debut 12 months after his first team bow, oddly also against Tottenham.
Once they saw him though it didn't take long for 'Harry' to endear himself to the home crowd. He played as he talks now as Coventry's long-serving, inimitable match-day host in the corporate lounges: with gusto! Never shy in the tackle, 'Harry's determination and refusal to accept defeat without giving every game all he had to give contributed to what became cult-hero status.
Having played the final two games of 1975-76, 'Harry' managed 13 in his second term and 29 the year after. His best seasons would come in the early eighties, especially in 1980-81. In that season he came off the bench on the opening day of the term and proceeded to make the left-back slot his own, starting all the remaining 41 top-flight fixtures as well as helping the Sky Blues to the semi-final of the League Cup and fifth round of the FA Cup.
Always willing to be utilised in positions other than full-back if required, Roberts didn't get on the score-sheet until December 1982 in a 3-0 win at West Ham. Apparently having got a taste for seeing his name in the paper as a goal-scorer 'Harry' did it again the following month in an FA Cup tie with Norwich at Highfield Road. They would be the only two goals 'Harry' would score in a career totalling almost 500 games, "I didn't like all that snogging lark when you scored, to be honest," he said by way of explaining how his goal-scoring ended as suddenly as it started.
As most Coventry fans are well aware, 'Harry' is never short of a quip. He brings a touch of humour to match days behind the scenes, just as he used to be the sort of bouncy character every dressing room needs. Behind the jocular exterior though there lurks a man who knows the game inside out, someone who has seen the sport from so many angles and someone who whenever he played was entirely reliable.
Working as Sky Blues match day host now at St Andrew's brings Roberts to familiar surroundings. He spent eight years as a Blues player after 13 years at Coventry, starting with his time as an apprentice. A great servant of Birmingham too he went on to end his playing days with a spell at Wolves, his final league appearance coming at Blackburn in May 1991.
By this point 'Harry' seemed to be almost as well known for his newspaper column in the Sports Argus as his football! Later while coaching at Coventry he went from key-man to keyboard as he also penned a column for the programme and in 1991 produced a collection of anecdotes called 'Harry's Game' that deserves to be part of any Sky Blues, Blues or Wolves fan's library. In trademark fashion 'Harry' thought up something different for his book launch – he tied a copy to a Guy Fawkes night rocket and fired it next to Molineux!
For all his popularity with Wolves and Birmingham, it is the Sky Blues with which 'Harry' is intrinsically linked. Being awarded a testimonial by the club indicated his length of service and the esteem in which he was – and indeed still is – held.
Roberts had moved to Birmingham City by this point, but returned to Highfield Road for his big night. Future Spurs and Fulham manager Martin Jol got on the score-sheet for the City 'Present' team along with Martin Singleton and teenager Andy Spring who got a couple.
In a Coventry 'Past' side that included Mick Coop, Jim Holton, and Tommy Hutchison it was Ernie Hunt who excelled. He scored, as did Gary Gillespie and Willie Carr. There was one more goal to delight the crowd of 3,000, an almost obligatory penalty netted by 'Harry' himself.

Former Bafana Bafana coach sacked from latest job
Former Bafana Bafana coach Carlos Queiroz has parted ways with Colombia just one year into his three-year contract.

Colombia's head coach, Portuguese Carlos Queiroz, during the South American qualifier soccer match for the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar between Chile and Colombia, at the National stadium, in Santiago, Chile, 13 October 2020. EPA/Alberto Valdes / POOL
QUIEROZ QUIT BAFANA BAFANA AHEAD OF 2002 SWC
Queiroz took over the South American side who are currently ranked 15th in the latest FIFA world rankings in February last year after an impressive eight-year spell with the Iran national team.
Having resigned from Bafana Bafana after a fallout with the South African Football Association (SAFA) before the 2002 Soccer World Cup, Queiroz went on to coach at Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson.
After his stint in Manchester, Queiroz took over as head coach at Spanish giants Real Madrid in the 2003/04 season.
A return to Old Trafford followed after his sacking in Spain, where he spent another four seasons as Ferguson's assistant before the Portugal national team came calling in 2008 where he then led them to the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
QUEIROZ LOST 6-1 IN HIS FINAL MATCH
"The Colombian Soccer Federation and the technical director Carlos Queiroz agreed that the coach would not continue as head of the Colombian Senior Men's National Team," the FCF statement read.
"We wish Professor Carlos Queiroz and his team the best in their future career plans."
Queiroz, 67, leaves the job in the wake of a 3-0 home loss to Uruguay and a 6-1 rout in Ecuador, Colombia's worst defeat in four decades.
Queiroz coached Bafana Bafana from October 2000 to March 2002.
In total he oversaw 24 matches, of which Bafana won 10, lost 8 and drew 6.

The default weekend setting in IDEA is for Saturday and Sunday.
So as an example, when you apply a Gap Detection on Collection Date in a Collection Management System data file to identify dates on which Collections have not been made, by checking the box Ignore holidays in Gap Detection on Collection Date, Saturday's and Sunday's will get excluded from the missing Collection Date listing for the review period.
Now if we need to change the default weekend setting from Saturday and Sunday to let us say Friday and Saturday we can navigate to File in the IDEA menu toolbar and click on Options.
Under IDEA Options click on Weekends (Date Options) under the System tab and uncheck Sunday and check Friday. This will ensure Friday and Saturday weekend checks going forward in IDEA.

Tiger Woods picks himself to lead US at Presidents Cup
Updated: Dec 12, 2019, 11:26 IST | AFP | Melbourne
"It is quick and it has dried out and hopefully the forecast will hold for each and every day. The preparation is very simple."

Melbourne: Captain Tiger Woods will lead from the front when the United States begin their Presidents Cup defence after Wednesday picking himself and Justin Thomas for the opening fourball match at Royal Melbourne. The 43-year-old Woods and world number four Thomas will tee off first on Thursday against Australian Marc Leishman and Chilean rookie Joaquin Niemann for Ernie Els' International team. "I think from our side, we had a game plan, who we wanted to start out, and we were committed to putting Justin and myself out there, and that's who we're rolling with," said Woods. "I got a chance to play all of yesterday. Played a little bit today. Just to try to get a feel for this golf course. "It is quick and it has dried out and hopefully the forecast will hold for each and every day. The preparation is very simple."
Vice-captain Fred Couples said ahead of the draw that he expected Woods would play at least three matches over the four days of the biennial matchplay showdown. Woods has a record of 24 wins, 15 losses and one half in matches at the Presidents Cup, second only to Phil Mickelson's record of 26 wins. Steve Stricker will be captain while he is on the course. Woods resisted any temptation to leave Patrick Reed on the sidelines for the first day's pairings after a row sparked by the two-stroke penalty for moving sand and improving his lie in the Bahamas last week. But International captain Els did omit Australian Cameron Smith who became embroiled in the squabble by calling Reed a cheat. China's Li Haotong and Americans Rickie Fowler and Matt Kuchar are the other player to miss out on Thursday's action. Reed will partner Webb Simpson against Japan's Hideki Matsuyama and Taiwan's debutant CT Pan in match four on a course that has a reputation for having some of the fastest greens in the world.
Aussie sits out
Canada's Adam Hadwin and South Korea's PGA Tour Rookie of the Year Im Sung-jae tee off second against Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. They will be followed by veteran Australian Adam Scott, like Woods in his ninth Presidents Cup, joining South Korea's debutant An Byeong-hun against Bryson DeChambeau and Tony Finau. The final match pits another newcomer in Mexico's Abraham Ancer and experienced partner Louis Oosthuizen of South Africa against the big-hitting duo of US Open champion Gary Woodland and former world number one Dustin Johnson, who is playing his first event since knee surgery in September. Els has a young team with five of his seven rookies employed on the opening day and said leaving out Smith in front of his home fans was part of the bigger picture.
"I'll tell you Sunday night what exactly has been transpiring, but we have a system we are following, and I can't let anything out of the bag more than that," he said. "But there's enough Australians out there tomorrow to rally a lot of guys." The International team having only won the title once, but that was in 1998 at Royal Melbourne, and both captains have good memories of the famous sandbelt layout. Els holds the course record of 60 set in 2004 while Woods sank the winning putt for the United States at the venue in 2011. The Americans, who won the 2017 event on home soil 19-11, hold a proud record of 10 wins, one draw and just one defeat. Friday's second day will see five foursomes, or alternate shot, matches. Saturday is a crunch day with four fourballs and four foursomes matches before 12 singles clashes on Sunday. With one point awarded for a win in each match the first team to 15 1/2 points will secure the cup.

Here's a sobering fact: Most software development projects fail.
According to a report by The Standish Group, 31.1% of projects will be canceled before they're completed and 52.7% of projects will run over budget by nearly twice as much (189%) as originally budgeted.
These numbers are startling. You can choose to ignore this harsh reality and simply hope for the best. Or, you can seek to understand the causes for failure and then take steps to improve your chances for success.
What are some possible explanations for why most software projects fail? I'd like to highlight two long-standing perspectives that are a bit limited and outdated, but still worth acknowledging.
While the cost-time-quality relationship has some validity, it doesn't fully explain why a project that initially looked to be successful is now on an unsuccessful trajectory. Further, it's about as helpful as the engineer pointing out Newton's law of universal gravitation after the rocket blows up on the launch pad. It doesn't offer a solution.
First published in 1975, The Mythical Man-Month: Essays on Software Engineering is another commonly cited reference. The collection of essays was written by Frederick Brooks, a software project manager for IBM's OS/360. The illustration on the cover shows dinosaurs stuck in a tar pit. The more you struggle, the faster you'll go under.
Brooks dissects an interesting observation that adding more engineers to a late project doesn't accelerate its completion. In fact, it makes the project run longer. Even with an army of women, it still takes nine months to make a baby.
Brooks offers compelling arguments for prototyping, over-communicating among team members and the power of a handful of great engineers (vs. many mediocre ones). Unfortunately, The Mythical Man-Month is terribly outdated. The book deals with mainframe computers and predates modern tools, design patterns and reusable code. In my opinion, it's no longer relevant and not particularly actionable.
I often say that the key to a successful customer is a customer who wants to be successful. In my experience, the primary determinate for a successful business is strong executive leadership.
The executive's top responsibility is to bring clarity to the team. For software projects, this means defining success. With that understanding, teams can quickly decide what's important and what's not.
For example, let's suppose a company is focused on releasing an MVP (minimum viable product). Usually, the underlying purpose is to prove a point to investors and unlock the next round of funding. If that's true, then what's the most critical thing to demonstrate with the MVP? Is it adoption/number of downloads? Stickiness/same-store sales? Efficacy/the ability to move the needle on a customer's KPI?
The ability to define success provides the organization with a huge advantage.
Additionally, the value of relevant technical experience also cannot be understated.
The combination of powerful, low-cost cloud computing services (like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure), libraries of reusable code and generally accepted design patterns allow software products and software companies to be created almost instantly. If you don't want to be left in the dust, on-the-job training simply isn't an option.
Recruiting the best talent is so important, and the best talent is often a combination of skills and relevant experience. You can't waste time reinventing the wheel or having someone make rookie mistakes. For instance, when building teams in the digital health space, there's a classic question: Do you hire the best engineers, or do you hire the best subject matter experts? The answer is, you hire the best engineers with digital health experience.
Separately, the best teams have frequent progress reviews and constant communication. If your teams haven't embraced Scrum / Agile methodologies, then you're taking on a lot of risk. By modern standards, two-week "sprints" (Scrum parlance) is common development iteration that helps keep teams moving forward.
Note: Hosting daily "standup" meetings is a great start to enhance communication, but doing that alone isn't Scrum. Demos, retros and all the key Scrum ceremonies are critical to ensure all stakeholders are informed and empowered to make course corrections when needed.
Testing and QA are fundamental, and the best teams invest in them. QA needs to be staffed appropriately — and at the beginning of the project because QA brings a critical perspective on what's to be built.
Another common question/debate: What's the ideal QA engineer-to-developer ratio? In my experience, one QA engineer to three coders produces great results — especially when test automation is in place. In many situations, this ratio helps maximize velocity and also ensures QA is rightfully empowered.
Lastly, software cannot go to production without QA approval, even if it means missing a deadline. If deadlines can circumvent QA, then QA becomes an option and not a necessity.
At Newfire Partners, we take these failure modes into account with our engagements. We work with executive leadership. We tap into our pool of accomplished, senior engineers with the most relevant experience. We enforce aggressive Scrum / Agile methodologies. And we help build and empower the QA function. All with the goal of ensuring every software project is a success.

Der Brawn BGP 001 war der Formel-1-Rennwagen des Brawn GP Formula One Teams in der Saison 2009. Davon wurden drei Exemplare gebaut und mit den Fahrern Jenson Button und Rubens Barrichello eingesetzt. Der Monoposto, ursprünglich von Honda Racing F1 unter der Bezeichnung Honda RA109 entwickelt, zeichnete sich in der ersten Saisonhälfte durch einen deutlichen Wettbewerbsvorteil aus: Er war mit einem sogenannten Doppeldiffusor ausgestattet, der einen Zeitvorteil von drei bis fünf Zehntelsekunden pro Rennrunde erbrachte.

Der Brite Button wurde mit dem Wagen Weltmeister, der Brasilianer Barrichello belegte am Ende der Saison den dritten Platz. Außerdem gewann das Brawn-Team die Konstrukteursweltmeisterschaft, als erstes Formel-1-Team im ersten Jahr seines Bestehens. Button und Barrichello gewannen insgesamt acht von siebzehn Rennen. Bei vier Rennen erzielte der Rennstall einen Doppelsieg.

Entwicklung und Testfahrten
Der Brawn BGP 001 wurde ab April 2008 als Honda RA109 in Brackley entwickelt und war der erste Honda-Rennwagen, der unter der Leitung von Teamchef Ross Brawn entstand. Die Form des Autos wurde von drei Aerodynamikteams – Ross Brawn integrierte den Chefaerodynamiker des aufgelösten Super-Aguri-F1-Rennstalls, Ben Wood, in sein Team – mit Hilfe von vier Windkanälen entworfen; insgesamt 450 Mitarbeiter arbeiteten an der Fahrzeugentwicklung.
Leitende Konstrukteure waren Jörg Zander als technischer Direktor und Loïc Bigois als Aerodynamiker. Die Konstruktion hatte exakt die Abmessungen des Vorgängermodells: 470 cm lang, 180 cm breit und 95 cm hoch.

Als das Honda-Team erkannt hatte, dass die Piloten mit dem Honda RA108, dem Rennauto der Saison 2008, nicht in der Lage waren, um vordere Platzierungen zu fahren, legte es ab der Saisonmitte den Schwerpunkt auf die Entwicklung des Rennwagens für die Saison 2009. Nachdem Honda am 5. Dezember 2008 seinen Rückzug aus der Formel 1 bekannt gegeben hatte, wurde der Honda RA109 dennoch weiterentwickelt, um einem Käufer ein fertiges Fahrzeug anbieten zu können. Schließlich kaufte das Management um Ross Brawn am 3. März 2009 selbst das Team und benannte es in Brawn GP um. Jenson Button und Rubens Barrichello bildeten erneut das Fahrerduo.

Am 6. März 2009 stellte Button den Brawn BGP 001 auf dem Silverstone Circuit in Großbritannien vor. Er fuhr den Wagen auf der Streckenvariante Stowe Circuit, die sich im Inneren des Bridge Grand Prix Circuits befindet. Während die anderen Teams schon mehrere Testfahrten absolviert hatten, stieg Brawn erst zu den Testfahrten vom 9. bis 12. März auf dem Circuit de Catalunya nördlich von Barcelona ein. Bis auf Toro Rosso und Brawn hatten alle Teams schon mehrere Testtage mit den neuen Rennwagen hinter sich. Die beiden Brawn-Piloten wechselten sich täglich ab. Am dritten Testtag erzielte Button seine erste Bestzeit mit mehr als einer Sekunde Vorsprung gegenüber dem zweitplatzierten Felipe Massa im Ferrari F60. Einen Tag später fuhr Barrichello die beste Rundenzeit dieser Testwoche mit einer Zeit von 1:18,926 Minuten vor Nico Rosberg im Williams FW31 mit 1:19,774 Minuten.

In der nächsten Woche, bei den Testläufen auf dem Circuito de Jerez vom 15. bis 17. März, knüpfte der Rennstall an die Form der ersten Testwoche an. Am ersten Tag erzielte Barrichello mit einem Vorsprung von sechs Zehntelsekunden die schnellste Rundenzeit vor Fernando Alonso im Renault R29. Am zweiten Tag fuhr Alonso die Bestzeit vor Barrichello. Am dritten Testtag, dem letzten vor der Saison, setzte sich Button mit der schnellsten Zeit der drei Testtage an die Spitze des Feldes.

Bereits nach dem ersten Testtag auf dem Circuit de Catalunya wurde im Fahrerlager über das Potential des Brawn BGP 001 diskutiert. Ross Brawn bestritt, dass die schnellen Rundenzeiten mit wenig Benzin erzielt wurden. Nach den ersten Testfahrten nahe Barcelona äußerten die Konkurrenten Verwunderung wegen der Rundenzeiten, die mit dem Brawn BGP 001 möglich waren. Der technische Direktor von Williams, Sam Michael, äußerte sogar die Befürchtung, dass Button und Barrichello den ersten Grand Prix mit über einer Runde Vorsprung gewinnen würden. Ferrari-Pilot Massa schätzte die Situation folgendermaßen ein: "Wir sind konkurrenzfähig – aber nur in der Liga hinter Brawn." Jenson Button beschrieb die Zuversicht, die die guten Ergebnisse der Testfahrten im Team auslösten, später so: "Die Daten haben uns früh gezeigt, dass wir einen Volltreffer gelandet haben. Schon als wir noch um die Rettung des Teams kämpften, wussten wir, dass wir ein Siegerauto hatten."

Technik

Monocoque und Radträger
Die Konstruktion bestand wie bei anderen Formel-1-Fahrzeugen, aus einer ca. 45 kg schweren Monocoque-Grundstruktur aus kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Kunststoff. Daran wurden die Baugruppen Fahrwerk, Motor und Flügel angebracht. Der Anbau für den Frontflügel war die Knautschzone, um die Normen der vorgeschriebenen Crashtests zu bestehen.
Der Radstand betrug 3180 mm, die Spurweite vorne 1470 mm und hinten 1405 mm.
Die Radaufhängungen, doppelte Querlenker an Vorder- und Hinterrädern, bestanden aus Titan und kohlenstofffaserverstärktem Kunststoff. Über Druckstangen und Kniehebel (sogenannte "Pushrods") wurden die innen – also nicht am Radträger, sondern im Monocoque – liegenden Feder- und Dämpfereinheiten von Sachs betätigt. Aktive Radaufhängungen waren verboten. Während Button mit nur einem Chassis die komplette Saison absolvierte, wechselte Barrichello für den Großen Preis von Singapur das Chassis.

Aerodynamik

Zur Saison 2009 wurde das Reglement hinsichtlich der Flügel stark verändert. Der Frontflügel wurde in der Breite auf 180 cm (statt 140 cm) vergrößert, der Heckflügel in der maximalen Breite auf 75 cm (statt 100 cm) reduziert. Gleichzeitig musste der Heckflügel höher (95 cm statt 80 cm über der Fahrbahn) und der Frontflügel tiefer (5 cm statt 15 cm Mindestabstand zur Fahrbahn) angebracht werden. Das Reglement für den Diffusor wurde ebenfalls überarbeitet. Der Diffusor, ein 350 mm nach der Hinterachse beginnendes und bis auf maximal 175 mm Fahrzeughöhe ansteigendes Leitwerk am Ende des Unterbodens, vergrößert die Sogwirkung unter dem Rennwagen und erzeugt dadurch einen Ansaugeffekt. Er war bislang mit etwa 40 % am Anpressdruck eines Formel-1-Rennwagens beteiligt.
Mit diesen technischen Änderungen sollten die Luftverwirbelungen für nachfolgende Fahrzeuge reduziert und damit Überholvorgänge erleichtert werden.

Das besondere aerodynamische Merkmal des Brawn BGP 001 war der Doppeldiffusor mit Zentralkanal. Der Doppeldiffusor, am Brawn BGP 001 sowie am Williams FW31 und dem Toyota TF109 in der Saison 2009 zuerst angebracht, verstärkte den Ansaugeffekt durch eine zweite kürzere Platte über dem eigentlichen Diffusor. Der Doppeldiffusor des BGP 001 hatte darüber hinaus einen von unten nicht sichtbaren Zentralkanal, der gegenüber einfachen Diffusoren einen höheren Abtrieb und damit mehr Bodenhaftung erbrachte.

Die Teams Ferrari, BMW Sauber, Renault und Red Bull legten vor dem ersten Rennen in Australien Protest gegen die am Brawn BGP 001 sowie am Williams FW31 und dem Toyota TF109 angebrachten Doppeldiffusoren ein. Die zuständigen Rennkommissare wiesen den Protest jedoch zurück und erklärten die Diffusoren für regelkonform. Im Berufungsverfahren erklärte das FIA-Sportgericht am 15. April 2009 die Doppeldiffusoren abschließend für zulässig.
Ab der Saison 2011 ist der Doppeldiffusor verboten.

Ende November erhielt Loïc Bigois den Dino Toso Racecar Aerodynamicist of the Year Award, eine Auszeichnung für den besten Aerodynamiker in der Formel 1.

Motor
Der Brawn GP 001 nutzte einen laut FIA-Reglement mindestens 95 kg schweren FO108W-Motor von Mercedes-Benz HighPerformanceEngines, der über einen Liefervertrag zur Verfügung gestellt wurde. Deshalb befanden sich keine Mercedes-Aufkleber auf dem Rennwagen. Entsprechend dem Reglement für die Saison 2009 handelte es sich um einen selbstansaugenden 2,4-Liter-V-Motor mit acht Zylindern (90° Bankwinkel, 98 mm Bohrung) mit Drehzahlbegrenzung auf 18.000 min−1 (Umdrehungen pro Minute). Der geschätzte Verbrauch betrug 75 l/100 km Superbenzin (maximal 102 ROZ) bei einer ebenso geschätzten Leistung von 755 PS.
In der Erstversion wurde das Fahrzeug in seiner Konstruktion einem Honda-Motor angepasst. Durch den Umbau auf den Mercedes-Benz-Motor musste das Getriebe um 6 mm höher gesetzt werden; dabei gerieten die hinteren Federwege zu kurz. Durch einen zusätzlichen Ölkühler verlagerte sich der Schwerpunkt nach oben.
Der Kaufvertrag mit Mercedes-Benz wurde nach der Übernahme durch Brawn abgeschlossen. Alternativ wäre ein Kauf des Motors bei Ferrari möglich gewesen.

Getriebe
Das halbautomatische Getriebe, hydraulisch angesteuert ohne Zugkraftunterbrechung, wurde von Honda entwickelt. Es hatte entsprechend dem Reglement sieben sequentiell zu schaltende Vorwärtsgänge bei 30 möglichen Übersetzungen sowie einen Rückwärtsgang und wurde mit zwei Schaltwippen am Lenkrad geschaltet.

Elektronik
Die Motorsteuerung, die unter anderem für die Drehzahlbegrenzung sorgte, sowie elektronische Bauteile inklusive der Software wurden, laut Reglement der FIA vorgeschrieben, von McLaren Electronic Systems in Zusammenarbeit mit Microsoft an alle Formel-1-Teams gleichermaßen geliefert. Damit wurde eine elektronische Anfahrhilfe und Traktionskontrolle ausgeschlossen.

KERS
Brawn GP setzte KERS nicht ein. Das System zur Rückgewinnung kinetischer Energie war nach dem Reglement für die Saison 2009 zugelassen und ermöglichte eine Leistungssteigerung von bis zu 60 kW (zirka 82 PS) für 6,67 Sekunden pro Runde. Brawn entschied sich gegen den Einsatz des Systems, da es zum einen einer Anpassung des Fahrzeugs bedurft hätte und zum anderen das Fahrzeug durch das KERS-Gewicht von 35 kg schwerer als das Mindestgewicht von 605 kg gemacht hätte. Auf das von Honda entwickelte KERS hatte das Team keinen Zugriff mehr, da es sich dabei um geistiges Eigentum des Honda-Konzerns handelte.

Bremsen
Nach dem Reglement waren zwei unabhängige Bremskreise für Vorder- und Hinterräder vorgeschrieben, ein Antiblockiersystem war verboten. Die Bremssättel mit radial montierter Sechskolbenzange und Bremsscheiben aus Carbon-Keramik wurden vom italienischen Unternehmen Brembo (Button) und dem deutsch-amerikanischen Unternehmen Hitco (Barrichello) geliefert. Das Gewicht einer Bremsscheibe betrug ca. 1,5 kg, die optimale Betriebstemperatur lag zwischen 400 °C und 750 °C. Der Brawn BGP 001 hatte die hinteren Bremssättel unten liegend, mit kleinen Lamellen an der Innenseite, die für zusätzlichen Abtrieb sorgten.

Reifen und Räder
Eine Bereifung mit Slicks wurde zur Saison wieder zugelassen, nachdem diese seit 1998 nicht mehr erlaubt war. Dadurch erhöhte sich der mechanische Grip (Bodenhaftung) der Reifen um 10 % und die Fahrzeuge erzielten höhere Kurvengeschwindigkeiten. Die maximale Seitenführungskraft veränderte sich durch die Slicks von 6° auf 5° Schräglaufwinkel; damit wurde der Grenzbereich schmaler. Die Reifen in der Größe 270/55 R13 vorne und 325/45 R13 hinten (Betriebsdruck 1,2–1,5 bar) in drei Spezifikationen (trocken, intermediate, nass) stellte der japanische Hersteller Bridgestone für alle Teams bereit. Die einteiligen Räder aus geschmiedetem Magnesium mit Zentralverschluss wurden von BBS Kraftfahrzeugtechnik geliefert.

Werbung und Lackierung
Der Brawn BGP 001 war bis auf gelbe und schwarze Streifen um die "Nase" ganz in Weiß lackiert. Während des ersten Rennens in Australien trug das Fahrzeug neben dem eigenen Logo von Brawn GP nur ein Logo des Reifenherstellers Bridgestone. Im Laufe der Saison schloss Brawn weitere Sponsorenverträge ab, sodass weitere Logos hinzukamen. Das erste dieser neuen Logos gehörte zum britischen Kleidungshersteller Henri Lloyd, kurz danach folgte die Virgin Group als Hauptsponsor des Teams. Das Schweizer Broker-Unternehmen MIG Investments war der nächste große Sponsor und erhielt ab dem Großen Preis von China eine Werbefläche auf der Front des Fahrzeugs. Ab dem Großen Preis von Großbritannien warb der britische Uhrenhersteller Graham-London auf den Seitenspiegeln der Brawn BGP 001. Zudem präsentierte der Uhrenhersteller im Rahmen der Partnerschaft zwei exklusive Uhren, die den Namenszusatz "BGP-001" trugen.

Zusätzlich zu den permanenten Sponsoren schloss Brawn GP Sponsorenverträge für einzelne Rennen ab: Beim Großen Preis von Spanien trug das Fahrzeug das Logo und ein Bild für den Film Terminator Salvation auf der Seite des Heckflügels. Beim Großen Preis von Singapur kehrte der japanische Kamerahersteller Canon, mit Werbeaufklebern auf den Seitenkästen des Brawn BGP 001, zurück in die Formel 1. Beim Großen Preis von Japan warb der japanische Kosmetikkonzern Angfa für die Haarpflegeserie Scalp-D.

Zu Barrichellos Heimrennen in Brasilien kam es zu einem Vertrag mit der brasilianischen Brauerei Cervejaria Petrópolis ab. Der Getränkehersteller warb an dem Grand-Prix-Wochenende für seine Biermarke Itaipava und den hauseigenen Energy-Drink TNT. Beim Saisonfinale in Abu Dhabi warb der katarische Telekommunikationskonzern Qtel auf den Heckflügeln und Seitenkästen der Boliden.

Eine 2010 veröffentlichte Untersuchung durch Formula Money ergab, dass die Brawn-Sponsoren die besten Werbewerte erzielten. Auf den Spitzenplätzen lagen neun Brawn-Sponsoren in Führung. Den größten Return on Investment erzielte Cervejaria Petrópolis mit der Biermarke Itaipava mit einem Wert von 853 %.

Formel-1-Saison 2009

Technisches Reglement
Das Mindestgewicht inklusive Fahrer betrug 605 kg, das maximale Fahrzeuggewicht lag mit einer Tankfüllung für den ersten Stint (bis zum Nachtanken) bei etwa 665 kg. Jedem Fahrer standen für die komplette Saison insgesamt acht Motoren und je ein Getriebe für vier aufeinander folgende Veranstaltungen zur Verfügung. Eine Überschreitung dieser Regelung führte zum Zurücksetzen in der Startaufstellung um zehn bzw. fünf Plätze. Darüber hinaus wurden für jedes Team 3–8 Monocoque-Chassis gebaut, für deren Anzahl es keine Beschränkung gab. Für jedes Rennwochenende standen jedem Fahrer vierzehn Sätze Slick-Reifen, fünf Sätze Intermediate und vier Sätze Regenreifen zur Verfügung. Bridgestone bot die Slick-Reifen in vier verschiedenen Mischungen an: "supersoft/soft" und "medium/hart". Zwei unterschiedliche Mischungen mussten von jedem Fahrer pro Rennen verwendet werden.

Verlauf der Saison
Insgesamt gewann der Brawn BGP 001 acht Rennen in der Saison 2009, vier davon waren Doppelsiege. Der Brawn BGP 001 zeichnete sich mit einer, den anderen Teams überlegenen, Zuverlässigkeit aus. Auf 32 Zieldurchfahrten sowie 97,2 % aller zu absolvierenden Rennrunden kam das Team im Laufe der Saison. Zwei Rennen wurden nicht beendet, eines wegen eines technischen Defektes am Getriebe, das andere wegen einer Kollision.

Sechs Siege aus den ersten sieben Rennen

Beim Saisonauftakt, dem Großen Preis von Australien dominierten die Brawn-Piloten das Qualifying. In jedem der drei Abschnitte belegten die beiden Rennfahrer die ersten Plätze. Schließlich sicherte sich Button vor seinem Teamkollegen Barrichello die erste Pole-Position der Saison. Button gewann das Rennen mit einem Start-Ziel-Sieg vor Barrichello, der zu Beginn beinahe in einer Startkollision ausgeschieden wäre. Letztmals gelang dem Werksteam von Mercedes in der Formel-1-Saison 1954 ein Doppelsieg im ersten Rennen.

Beim zweiten Rennen der Saison, dem Großen Preis von Malaysia, startete Button erneut von der Pole-Position. Das Rennen wurde wegen schlechten Wetters abgebrochen. Button gewann das Rennen, erzielte die schnellste Runde und errang somit seinen ersten Hattrick in der Formel 1. Da weniger als 75 % der Runden absolviert worden waren, erhielten alle Piloten nur die Hälfte der regulären Punkte.

Nachdem Button beim Großen Preis von China als Dritter ins Ziel gekommen war, entschied er die folgenden vier Rennen für sich. In Spanien und Monaco reichte es zudem zu zwei weiteren Doppelsiegen. Es war das erste Mal, dass mit einem einzigen Motor drei Formel-1-Rennen in Folge gewonnen wurden. Beim Großen Preis der Türkei fiel Barrichello mit einem Getriebeschaden aus. Es war der erste Ausfall eines Brawn BGP 001.

In der Konstrukteurswertung führte Brawn-Mercedes nach den ersten sieben Rennen mit 96 zu 56,5 Punkten vor Red Bull-Renault. Button hatte mit 61 Punkten vor Barrichello (35 Punkte) und Sebastian Vettel (29 Punkte) einen deutlichen Vorsprung und sechs von sieben Rennen gewonnen. Im weiteren Verlauf der Saison erzielte Button keinen weiteren Sieg.

Gewinn der Weltmeistertitel trotz schwächerer Rennen
Bei den nächsten drei Großen Preisen war Barrichellos dritter Platz in Großbritannien die einzige Podest-Platzierung von Brawn. Für Schlagzeilen sorgte auch der Verlust einer Feder an Barrichellos Fahrzeug im Qualifying zum Großen Preis von Ungarn. Die verlorene Feder sprang anschließend über die Strecke, traf Felipe Massa am Kopf und löste einen schweren Unfall aus. Massa fuhr ungebremst in die Reifenstapel, musste zur Behandlung ins Krankenhaus und fiel den Rest der Saison aus. Im Rennen erzielte Brawn mit Platz sieben für Button und Platz zehn für Barrichello das bis dahin schlechtestes Saisonergebnis. In dieser Phase der Saison hatten beide Piloten immer wieder Probleme ihre Reifen auf die passende Temperatur zu bringen. Daher mussten sie zum Teil sogar während der Rennen durch Zickzackfahren ihre Reifen aufwärmen.

Nach der Sommerpause erzielte Barrichello beim Großen Preis von Europa seinen ersten Sieg im Brawn BGP 001. Nachdem die McLaren-Piloten das Qualifying bestimmt hatten und von den Plätzen eins und zwei ins Rennen gegangen waren, entschied der von Platz drei startende Barrichello durch eine gute Strategie und Pech seiner Konkurrenten das Rennen für sich. Seine Überholmanöver fanden jeweils beim Boxenstopp statt. Es war Barrichellos erster Sieg seit dem Großen Preis von China 2004.

Beim nächsten Grand Prix in Belgien fiel Button nach einer Kollision mit Romain Grosjean erstmals aus. Mit einem siebten Platz von Barrichello war das Wochenende in Spa-Francorchamps das schlechteste für den Brawn BGP 001. Ein Rennen später, beim letzten europäischen Rennen in Italien, erzielte Brawn mit einer Ein-Stopp-Strategie den vierten Doppelsieg in der Saison. Barrichello gewann das Rennen vor Button. Der Sieg in Monza war der letzte Sieg des Brawn BGP 001.

Bei den asiatischen Rennen in Singapur und Japan gelang es den gegnerischen Teams den Punktevorsprung von Brawn weiter zu reduzieren. Bei noch 20 zu vergebenden Punkten hatte Button einen Vorsprung von 14 Punkten auf Barrichello und 16 Punkten auf Vettel. In der Konstrukteurswertung führte Brawn-Mercedes mit 35,5 Punkten Vorsprung auf Red Bull-Renault.

Beim Großen Preis von Brasilien gewann Button schließlich seinen ersten Weltmeistertitel. Barrichello erzielte in einem chaotischen Qualifying, das mit einer Dauer von 161 Minuten das längste der Formel-1-Geschichte war, die Pole-Position, während Button den 14. und Vettel den 16. Platz belegte. Im Rennen hatte Barrichello das für ihn typische Pech bei seinem Heimrennen: Nach einem Reifenschaden kam er nur auf dem achten Platz ins Ziel. Button zeigte hingegen einige Überholmanöver und verbesserte sich auf den fünften Platz. Damit war sein Vorsprung auf alle anderen Piloten so groß, dass er vorzeitig Weltmeister wurde. Ebenfalls gewann Brawn-Mercedes den Konstrukteursweltmeistertitel vorzeitig vor Red Bull-Renault.

Das Duell um den zweiten Platz in der Fahrerweltmeisterschaft wurde schließlich beim Saisonfinale in Abu Dhabi entschieden. Vettel gewann das Rennen und wurde vor Barrichello Vizeweltmeister. Bei diesem Rennen stand Button außerdem als Dritter zum neunten Mal in der Saison auf dem Podium.

In der zweiten Saisonhälfte gelang es Brawn nicht mehr, die dominanten Leistungen aus den ersten sieben Rennen zu wiederholen. Die Gründe hierfür waren vielfältig: Die anderen Teams rüsteten im Laufe der Saison deutlich nach und übernahmen auffällige Merkmale des Brawn BGP 001, wie beispielsweise den Doppeldiffusor. Außerdem hatte Brawn in der zweiten Saisonhälfte deutliche Probleme mit den Reifen, unter anderem die Vorderradreifen auf Temperatur zu bringen und Graining. Da der Brawn BGP 001 zum Untersteuern neigte und die richtige Balance des Fahrzeugs auf eher langsamere Strecken ausgelegt war, verstärkte sich das Untersteuern bei schnelleren Strecken.

Ergebnisse

Verbleib nach der Saison
Bei den Young Driver Days vom 1. bis zum 3. Dezember 2009 auf dem Circuito de Jerez fuhr der Brawn BGP 001 zum letzten Mal bei einer reinen Formel-1-Veranstaltung, als an drei Testtagen Piloten mit wenig Erfahrung im Formel-1-Auto fuhren. Brawn setzte bei den Tests Mike Conway, einen britischen Piloten aus der IndyCar Series, und Marcus Ericsson, einen schwedischen Rennfahrer, der 2009 die japanische Formel-3-Meisterschaft gewonnen hatte, ein. Beide Piloten teilten sich den Rennwagen an jedem Testtag. Conway war jeweils der schnellere Brawn-Pilot.

Zwischen dem Ende der Saison 2008 und dem Beginn der Saison 2009 hatte das Team 4 Chassis gefertigt. Die ersten zwei Chassis sollten dem geplanten Honda RA109 dienen. Nachdem Honda sich aus der Formel 1 zurückzog und das Team an Brawn verkaufte, wurden diese Chassis nie zu Boliden fertiggestellt. Die Chassis ähnelten denen des späteren Brawn BGP001, wiesen jedoch im hinteren Bereich signifikante Unterschiede auf. So erforderte die Integration des Mercedes-Motors einen anders geformten Öl-Tank als beim Honda-Motor, wodurch 2 neue Monocoques gefertigt wurden. Ein weiteres wurde als Ersatz fertiggestellt.

Das Chassis BGP001-01 wurde von Rubens Barrichello gefahren. Es war bis zum Qualifying zum Großen Preis von Singapur im Einsatz, als Barrichello verunfallte und das Chassis beschädigt wurde. Der Bolide ist heute im Besitz von Jenson Button, der sich vor der Saison vertraglich festschreiben ließ, dass er im Falle des Sieges der Weltmeisterschaft den von ihm gefahrenen Boliden oder einen gleicher Art erhält. Dieser Bolide ist nicht fahrtauglich.

Das Chassis BGP001-02 wurde von Jenson Button gefahren. Es war in allen Rennen der Saison 2009 im Einsatz. Jener Bolide ist im Besitz von Ross Brawn. Der Wagen wurde mehrere Jahre später u.A. beim Goodwood Festival of Speed 2016, 2018 und 2019 gezeigt. Ross Brawn erklärte im Rahmen des Festivals, dass das größte Problem bei der Instandsetzung des Wagens darin bestand, kompatible ältere Laptops aufzutreiben, um die Steuersoftware des Wagens zu laden und zu starten.

Das Chassis BGP001-03 wurde von Rubens Barrichello ab dem Großen Preis von Singapur gefahren. Nachdem das Team nach dem Ende der Saison an die Daimler AG verkauft worden war, wurde es in Mercedes Grand Prix umbenannt. Da das Nachfolgemodell des Brawn BGP 001, der Mercedes MGP W01, bei der Teampräsentation von Mercedes Grand Prix noch nicht fertig gestellt war, wurde der Öffentlichkeit der umlackierte Brawn BGP001-03 gezeigt. Mercedes zeigte den Wagen auch beim Goodwood Festival of Speed 2011.

Best Beefsquatch Costume Guide
Beefsquatch is a character who appeared in an episode of FOX's hit animated series Bob's Burgers. He is actually played by Bob's son, Gene Belcher, who dresses up in a Sasquatch costume. Beefsquatch rises to fame when Bob is auditioning for a cooking segment on a local morning television show. Gene decides to crash the filming by dressing up as Sasquatch to steal the burgers Bob made for the audition.

The great thing–it's basically just Gene Belcher in a sasquatch mask. So, you're really getting two characters at one time. Just slip on the sasquatch mask and Gene becomes Beefsquatch!

About Beefsquatch
Beefsquatch is one of Gene Belcher's alter-egos on the FOX animated series Bob's Burgers. When Bob auditions as the host of the "Hey Good Cookin" segment on the local morning television show, his son Gene crashes the audition dressed as a Sasquatch and takes the burger he has just made. This proves to be a hit with the producers of the show, and Bob and Gene (or Beefsquatch, as he calls himself) are hired as regulars on the show.
Since the viewers enjoy seeing the conflict between the pair, both Bob and Gene enlist the help of Louise Belcher, the youngest child, to help them prank each other on air. The prank war escalates and quickly gets out of control, leading to Bob and Gene fighting on air. Bob's wife, Linda, then runs onto the set and tries to ruin the show with a barrage of profanity. When that fails, Linda, Bob, and Gene all decide to flash the cameras. The show is ultimately canceled.

Will it cost North Carolina too much money?
There has been some speculation about cost, but it is not grounded in any factual evidence. Based on comparisons to other states that have history implementing similar Marsy's Law legislation, like Illinois and California, there has been no indication of significant increased costs - and neither state has needed to allocate specific funding for implementation. Updated North Carolina fiscal notes were part of the legislative debate and suggest that there may be some small cost to the state to upgrade notification.
Many prosecutor's offices in North Carolina already have ways and technology in place to provide victims with notice and information. While Marsy's Law may add a few responsibilities to DA's and others in the court system, other than notice, there is little or no cost involved in the rights being proposed. Many elected officials and citizens agree that we should already be doing this for North Carolina's crime victims and their families.

It is common for a University Principal Investigator (PI) and an industry collaborator to informally discuss a research proposal and perhaps reach mutual agreement as to the technical content, including the total budget. However, this tacit agreement between PI and industry collaborator is not on its way to being "official" until the PI submits the proposal to OIE via the University's Research Management System (RMS) for review and approval.
OIE's official project review begins when OIE receives the PI's proposal as submitted electronically via RMS. At a minimum, a proposal must include a statement of work (SOW), project budget, and budget justification. Additional information and documents may be requested during the review process. After the proposal has been approved by OIE and subsequently accepted by the sponsor, a Sponsored Research Agreement (SRA) can be prepared and executed by the parties. The proposal/SOW becomes a part of every SRA.
It is often necessary for negotiation of terms and conditions to occur before an SRA is finalized. Following the execution of an SRA, accounts are established for receipt of funds from the sponsor. PIs and/or the department contact will be notified by the University's Sponsored Projects Award Administration (SPAA) once the project account is set-up and funds have been received.
OIE has made great strides in streamlining the contractual process and has dramatically reduced the time to execution. If used in their entirety, OIE's reasonable template agreements require only the addition of business terms such as the period of performance, budget, background IP disclosures, and SOW. If the industry sponsor elects to accept the terms and conditions in the SRA template, no further legal reviews are necessary, and UT is often able to prepare and sign the final agreement within 24 business hours of receiving full input from the PI.
PI submits SOW, budget, and completed Background IP Form to OIE (industry@austin.utexas.edu) concurrent with his/her online proposal submission.
OIE contacts PI to confirm receipt and/or proposal information.
OIE prepares and signs standard SRA (or SRA modification), including initial invoice, and submits to industry sponsor for counter-signature.
OIE works with PI to finalize/approve formal proposal submission (see above).
Upon receipt of fully-executed SRA from industry sponsor, OIE expedites award process.
SPAA, with request for expedited treatment, sets up account number and notifies PI/department.
