Transportes Postigo S.A. fue una empresa de referencia y pionera dedicada al transporte de mercancías a nivel nacional, con sede en Santander y delegación central en Madrid, fundada en el año 1931. La empresa, de capital cántabro, se vendió en el año 1997 tras 65 años de existencia, siendo la empresa más veterana del sector en Cantabria y una de las más antiguas en España.

Historia
Transportes Postigo fue fundada el año 1931 por el empresario cántabro Casimiro Postigo Ordóñez en Madrid, junto con sus hermanos Manuel, Fernando, José y Gustavo. En sus orígenes, la "Agencia Postigo" se estableció en la calle de Palos de la Frontera, número 30 de Madrid; con sucursal en Santander (calle de Cádiz, número 18) y Burgos.

En el año 1952, se constituye la sociedad "Transportes Postigo, S.L" (originalmente denominada Casimiro Postigo, S.L) dando entrada, de manera oficial, a sus cuatro hijos (Miguel, Casimiro, Santos y Francisco).

En 1964 se transforma en Sociedad Anónima y establece su nueva sede operativa en la ciudad de Alcobendas, Madrid; mientras que, en Torrejón de Ardoz inaugura un nuevo centro logístico. Durante este tiempo, también estableció nuevas instalaciones en otras ciudades como Valladolid, Badajoz, Cáceres, Gijón, León, Logroño, Mérida, Oviedo y Valencia. Contaba con correspondencias en Cataluña y Andalucía. En Cantabria, además de en Santander, donde tenía su sede principal en el Polígono Industrial Candina, tenía subsedes en Torrelavega (gestionada por el empresario local Ricardo Montero Santibáñez), Reinosa y Santoña.

Con más de 175 empleados directos, Transportes Postigo se convierte en una empresa pionera y de referencia en la logística española, y contaba con importantes clientes del sector financiero como Banco Santander, Banco Español de Crédito, S. A, Caja de Ahorros de Santander o Banco de España.

En 1991, Transportes Postigo se convierte en socio estratégico de Cacesa, compañía semipública de mensajería, donde Iberia participaba mayoritariamente con un cuarenta por ciento, además de la Compañía Trasatlántica española y Aviaco. Cacesa y Transportes Postigo tenían como objetivo común convertir al Aeropuerto de Santander en referencia en el norte del tráfico aéreo de mercancías. Además, se crea la filial "Postigo Expres", dedicada a la logística puerta a puerta con vehículos dedicados.

En marzo del año 1996, al cumplir 65 años de existencia, el Consejo de Administración de Transportes Postigo S.A, presidido por los hermanos Postigo Vicente, deciden vender la empresa familiar cántabra a un grupo inversor presidida por Paulo Armengod que fija como objetivo mejorar la competitividad nacional de la agencia de transportes especializada en carga fraccionada y paquetería industrial.

Tras la venta, tres de los hermanos Postigo fueron acusados por el Ministerio Fiscal de España de un delito contra los derechos de los trabajadores, el alzamiento de bienes, malversación y apropiación indebida. La fiscalía pidió dos años de cárcel para cada uno de ellos y declarar nulo las ventas de los inmuebles que se habían realizado. Por otra parte, un amplio grupo de ex empleados de la empresa Postigo, ejerció una acusación particular, en donde se solicitó cerca de 1.200.000 de euros de indemnización (200 millones de las antiguas pesetas).

El juicio tardó casi diez años en llevarse a cabo, la querella fue presentada en enero de 1997, y admitida a trámite en marzo de ese mismo año. Sin embargo, el juicio no se celebró hasta finales de septiembre del 2006, y la resolución fue en enero de 2007. El Juzgado de lo Penal número 1 de Santander declaró prescrito el delito, por haber transcurrido más de cinco años desde el periodo en el que se hicieron los supuestos delitos hasta que se presentó la querella.

Según la acusación particular presentada por los ex empleados de Transportes Postigo S.A, los hermanos Postigo Vicente decidieron abandonar los cargos directivos y titularidad de la sociedad, llevando a cabo varias operaciones, en donde, se traspasaron los bienes de la empresa (importantes naves y terrenos de Santander, Madrid y Valladolid) a su propio patrimonio personal y a nuevas sociedades de su propiedad.

Tras el juicio del 2006, y a la espera del recurso en la Audiencia Provincial de Cantabria, la familia Postigo, a través de un comunicado publicado en El Diario Montañés se defendía de todas las operaciones realizadas durante sus últimos años de gestión, calificándolas como -regulares, legales y transparentes-, figurando todas ellas en el Registro Mercantil de Cantabria. También aclararon que la rescisión de relaciones laborales con la plantilla de la empresa, no fue presentada por ellos, sino por los señores Armengod Polo, dueños de la empresa, que habían adquirido las acciones de Transportes Postigo, S.A, siendo autorizadas por la Dirección Provincial de Trabajo de Cantabria, en fecha de 29 de enero de 1997 con carácter irreversible y firme.

SUPER SENIOR: Crockett Co.'s Elli Pratt
Michael Odom
michodom@jacksonsun.com
Not so long ago, the Crockett County girls basketball program suffered through a winless basketball season.
Six years have passed since then, and this year's senior class led by Elli Pratt has played a big role in keeping the improvements going.
With one more year of high school basketball to play, Pratt has personal and team goals that she wants to achieve.
"Before the year is over, I want to become a more versatile player and be prepared for the possibility of playing college basketball," Pratt said. "I also want to have good times with my teammates.
"As a team, we want to make it past region and maybe make a trip to state."
Pratt has the ability to learn from some of those players who witnessed those down years and started the program's turnaround five years ago.
The Lady Cavaliers didn't graduate any players off of last year's team that finished third in District 13-AA.
"We essentially have the same team," Pratt said. "We were young last year, and now we have a year of experience. Last year, we had five juniors and one sophomore, and now we have three seniors and one junior, but the rest are sophomores and freshmen."
The hope is also having Kayla Irvin, a former Gleason and Union University standout, as an assistant coach last year will allow the transition into this season to be smooth now that Irvin has taken over.
Pratt believes that some of those younger players can come in and contribute. In the past couple seasons, Crockett County hasn't had much of a bench with sometimes eight players on the roster.
"Our girls have grown to complement each other," she said.
Shooting is one area that Pratt has worked on to become better.
"I have worked on my jump shot and outside shot," Pratt said. "The hope is that we can run a lot of plays to help me get my shot off."
Pratt averaged 13.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.6 assists last year to be named to the All-West Tennessee Third Team.
Michael Odom, 425-9754
Super Seniors
This is the first of 18 Super Seniors to be honored. Super Senior articles will appearance online one a day for 18 straight days. The girls Super Seniors will be in print on Nov. 6 with the boys appearing on Nov. 13.

Bassnectar Thrills in Philly
By Crossfadr|2012-04-27T00:00:00-04:00April 27, 2012|News|
Bassnectar is the kind of DJ that sells out his shows everywhere he goes. His last tour reportedly sold out in every city where he performed. For a DJ under the age of forty, he has managed to build a career that most musicians and artists would be proud of and has done it in a shorter period of time than many. Bassnectar has taken his love for music and has been lucky enough to collaborate with and remix the music of some of the hottest and most popular artists of today.
A Bassnectar show always ends up being legendary regardless of where it is happening. The Philadelphia show was not an exception. The fact that it took place at Temple University, there were obviously a lot of younger college age people, didn't affect the night as everyone was just there to have a good time. The stadium was so crowded and full that it was hard to tell whether it was sold out, but it had to be pretty close.
The tour promotes his newest album and lasts through the end of summer 2012. Bassnectar will be working his way through the U.S. and is making stops in almost every major city with several stops in California. He even has dates lined up for Germany, France and Canada that are sure to be just as successful as his dates in America.
Bassnectar's first opening DJ wasn't impressive and somewhat forgettable, but the second one didn't disappoint. New York-based A-Trak has won major worldwide DJ competitions and was definitely a highlight of the night. The scratch DJ has an impressive resume much like Bassnectar and has worked with many greats in the EDM industry as well as in other genres.
Bassnectar was of course the main event as he immediately got people on their feet with his charisma and ability to work a crowd. There's a reason he is one of the hottest DJs around and it was obvious during this concert that it isn't without good reason. Bassnectar performed a lot from his new album, but also mixed in older tracks. He even remixed classic Beatles and Bob Marley songs.
The reason for going to a Bassnectar show is for him and for the experience itself. Bassnectar is clearly a hardworking DJ who is good at what he does and does it well. The crowd was completely into everything he did. The light show alone was fantastic, but Bassnectar took it a step further with performers including women on stilts, Chinese style four person elephants and balloons. The performers added to the whole atmosphere and general fun of the night.
At one point Bassnectar told everybody get on someone's shoulders and they did. He had people singing along to songs like "Lights" as the music got quiet. Whether it was songs from his previous album or the new one, Bassnectar had everyone like putty in his hands as he took them through a journey of dancing and even quiet moments. I don't think anyone sat down in their seats once.

Il paniranismo è un'ideologia che sostiene la solidarietà e la riunificazione dei popoli iraniani che vivono nella altopiano iranico e di altre regioni che hanno notevole influenza culturale iraniana, tra cui i persiani, azeri, Lurs, Gilaki, Mazanderani, curdi, Zazas, talysh, Tagiki, Pashtun, Hazara, Osseti, Beluci, ecc. Il primo teorico fu Mahmoud Afshar Yazdi.

Origini e ideologia

Il politologo iraniano Mahmoud Afshar sviluppò l'ideologia pan-iraniana nei primi anni '20 in opposizione al panturkismo e al panarabismo, che erano visti come potenziali minacce per l'integrità territoriale dell'Iran. Ha anche mostrato una forte fiducia nel carattere nazionalista del popolo iraniano nel corso della lunga storia del paese.

A differenza di movimenti simili dell'epoca in altri paesi, il paniranismo era etnicamente e linguisticamente inclusivo e riguardava esclusivamente il nazionalismo territoriale, piuttosto che il nazionalismo etnico o razziale. Alla vigilia della prima guerra mondiale, i panturkmeni si concentrarono sulle terre di lingua turca dell'Iran, del Caucaso e dell'Asia centrale. Lo scopo finale era di convincere queste popolazioni a separarsi dalle più grandi entità politiche a cui appartenevano e ad unirsi alla nuova patria pan-turca.  Fu l'ultimo appello agli azeri iraniani, che, contrariamente alle intenzioni pan-turkmene, fecero sì che un piccolo gruppo di intellettuali azeri diventassero i più forti sostenitori dell'integrità territoriale dell'Iran.  Dopo la rivoluzione costituzionale in Iran, un nazionalismo romantico è stato adottato dai democratici azeri come reazione alle politiche irredentiste pan-turkmene che minacciano l'integrità territoriale dell'Iran.  Fu durante questo periodo che l'Iranismo e le politiche di omogeneizzazione linguistica furono proposti come natura difensiva contro tutti gli altri.  Contrariamente a quanto ci si potrebbe aspettare, soprattutto tra l'innovazione di questo nazionalismo difensivo c'erano gli azeri iraniani.  Si è osservato che assicurare l'integrità territoriale del paese è stato il primo passo per costruire una società basata sulla legge e su uno stato moderno.  Attraverso questo quadro, la loro lealtà politica ha superato le loro affiliazioni etniche e regionali.  L'adozione di queste politiche integrazioniste ha spianato la strada alla nascita del nazionalismo culturale del gruppo etnico titolare.

Storia

Con il crollo della dinastia Qajar, che era caduta nella corruzione, e l'ascesa di Reza Shah Pahlavi nel 1925, che iniziò a introdurre riforme secolari che limitavano il potere del clero sciita, i nazionalisti iraniani e i pensatori socialisti avevano sperato che anche questa nuova era potesse favorire l'introduzione di riforme democratiche. Tuttavia, tali riforme non hanno avuto luogo. Questo è culminato nella graduale ascesa di male organizzati movimenti paniraniani composti da scrittori nazionalisti, insegnanti, studenti e attivisti alleati con altri movimenti pro-democrazia.

Negli anni '40, in seguito all'invasione anglo-sovietica dell'Iran, il movimento paniraniano ottenne slancio e popolarità a causa del diffuso sentimento di insicurezza tra gli iraniani che videro il re, Reza Shah, impotente contro tale presenza straniera nel paese. C'erano soldati provenienti da Russia, Inghilterra, India, Nuova Zelanda, Australia e, in seguito, dall'America, presenti nel paese, in particolare nella capitale, Teheran. L'occupazione alleata influenzò una serie di movimenti studenteschi nel 1941. Uno di questi nuovi gruppi era un gruppo di guerriglieri nazionalisti sotterranei chiamato il gruppo Revenge, noto anche come Anjoman.  Il partito paniraniano fu fondato in seguito da due membri del gruppo Revenge e altri due studenti nella seconda metà degli anni Quaranta, all'università di Teheran. Anche se il movimento paniraniano era stato attivo nel corso del 1930, era stato poco organizzato con l'alleanza dei nazionalisti scrittori, insegnanti, studenti e attivisti. Il partito è stato la prima organizzazione ad adottare ufficialmente la posizione paniraniana, che ha creduto nella solidarietà e nella riunificazione delle popolazioni iraniane che abitano l'altopiano iraniano . Nel 1951, i leader del partito Mohsen Pezeshkpour e Dariush Forouhar furono in disaccordo sul modo in cui il partito avrebbe dovuto funzionare e si verificò una divisione. Le due fazioni differivano notevolmente per struttura organizzativa e pratica. La fazione Pezeskpour, che mantenne il nome del partito, credette di lavorare all'interno del sistema di Mohammad Reza Pahlavi . La fazione di Forouhar, che adottò un nuovo nome, Mellat Iran ( Partito della nazione iraniana ), credette di lavorare contro il sistema.

Iran-e-Bozorg
Iran-e Bozorg è stato pubblicato periodicamente nella città di Rasht dall'attivista politico armeno Gregory Yeghikian ( ). Ha sostenuto l'unificazione delle popolazioni iraniane (ad esempio, afgani, curdi, ecc.), Inclusi gli armeni . Yaqikiān credeva che, con l'educazione e l'innalzamento dei livelli di consapevolezza delle persone, tale obiettivo fosse realizzabile con mezzi pacifici. La rivista ha beneficiato del contributo di numerosi intellettuali di spicco dell'epoca, tra cui Moḥammad Moʿin e ʿAli Esfandiāri (Nimā Yušij), e ha pubblicato articoli, poesie, una storia serializzata e alcune notizie. Ha anche pubblicato articoli a sostegno dei curdi che si erano ribellati alla ribellione in Turchia, provocando la protesta del consigliere turco a Rasht e portando alla messa al bando del giornale per ordine del ministro di corte. Yaqikiān tentò, senza successo, di rimuovere il divieto e infine si trasferì a Teheran, dove pubblicò il giornale Irān-e Konuni.

Everyone likes to be encouraged and one of the main benefits of marriage is having someone to motivate you every step of the way. Continuous affirmation and encouragement are necessary for a happy relationship.
Pointing out your partner's strengths is one of the best ways to motivate him or her. There are enough people in the world who will jump at any chance to point out your partner's flaws. As a wife or husband, you have a rare opportunity to impact your spouse's self-identity. This is why you should appreciate your spouse's strengths and applaud him or her on for every step made. By doing so, you can help them become the best version of themselves.
When others offer criticisms to your spouse, it is your role to help him or her determine which ones are legitimate. Even the most self confident person has a hard time being objective about their strengths and weakness in the face of criticism. As the spouse, you can become the voice of sanity in the situation.
Assuring you spouse of your unconditional love for and acceptance is another way to motivate your partner. It is important for your husband or wife to know that you do not expect perfection. Give your partner room to be imperfect and he or she will be more motivated to try new things. Let your partner's past mistakes and failures remain in the past.
If you are in a position to help with the implementation of your spouse's goals, do not hesitate to offer. For instance, if your spouse is trying to get back in shape, you can offer to help them with this. Be your husband's or wife's partner in life so that you can both enjoy the benefits of marriage.
In addition to words of love and encouragement, you can inspire your spouse through your actions. There is nothing more motivational that seeing someone do something. The two of you can set a mutual goal and motivate each other to achieve it. In addition, working together towards a common goal will help you to grow closer together.
If you find it easier to stay motivated when in a larger group, you can find another couple that has similar goals and interests and ask them to join you on your journey. This way, you also get to learn from their experiences.
As human beings, we all crave encouragement, motivation and affirmation. This is why all married couples should strive to build relationships where all parties can enjoy these and other benefits of marriage.

Die Spur- und Sturzeinstellung gehört zu den Fahrwerkseinstellungen. Sie ist kein direkter Bestandteil der regelmäßigen Wartungsarbeiten an Autos.

Die Spur ist die (für das Spurhalten bedeutsame) Stellung von linkem und rechtem Rad zueinander – nicht ganz parallel in Fahrtrichtung.

Der Radsturz ist die von der Senkrechten abweichende Neigung eines Rades. Mit Hilfe von digitalen Systemen erfolgt die Einstellung millimetergenau.

Diese beiden Maßnahmen wirken einer Verschlechterung der Straßenlage des Landfahrzeugs entgegen. Eine falsche Spur- und Sturzeinstellung bewirkt außerdem einen erhöhten Reifenverschleiß. Oft verschleißen dann die Innenseiten schneller als die Außenseiten der Reifen.

Southeast Qld reaffirms 2032 Olympics bid
Marty Silk
Published: 07/12/2020 Updated: Monday, 7 December 2020 2:33 PM GMT+11
Annastacia Palaszczuk will press ahead with a bid for the 2032 Olympics to be held in southeast QLD. Credit: AAP
Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has revived a bid for Brisbane and the state's southeast to host the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics.
The premier says she will convene her 2032 taskforce in the new year and has sent a letter to International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach asking for an update on the Tokyo Games.
The 2032 bid had been a lower priority during the pandemic, but Ms Palaszczuk met with IOC vice-president John Coates on Monday morning to discuss the changing situation.
"It's very important from a Queensland point of view that we get to see what happens with the Tokyo Olympics in this post-COVID world," she told reporters on Monday.
"And hopefully with the positive signs of the vaccine, things could be very positive in the future. So we're here to keep an open mind."
Mr Coates said Prime Minister Scott Morrison had invited him and Mr Bach to a private meeting during his official visit to Japan two weeks ago.
The IOC vice-president said during those talks Mr Morrison was very supportive of Brisbane and southeast Queensland's bid for the 2032 Games.
Mr Coates said the IOC was in continuous dialogue with four or five other cities about the games, so it was important for Ms Palaszczuk to indicate she wanted to move forward with the bid.
"With COVID under control in this country largely, that it is time for everyone to reaffirm their commitment to these games, and I think that's going to be very well received," he told reporters on Monday.
Southeast Queensland mayors also reaffirmed their backing for the 2032 bid, but warned they needed to bring an upgrade to critical transport infrastructure in the region.
The Council of Mayors chair and Brisbane Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner also met with Mr Coates on Monday.
"The SEQ Mayors are mindful not to get carried away with the hype of an Olympic Games and to ensure a Games delivers tangible and lasting transport legacies for South East Queensland," Mr Schrinner said in a statement.
"I don't think anyone wants to see an Olympic Games delivered just for the sake of it - particularly not the mayors of South East Queensland."

Groundbreaking for legacy garden to honor 5 lives lost in Brentwood
By Jill Croteau	Reporter	Global News
WATCH: It was an emotional ceremony Wednesday for the groundbreaking of a special memorial garden in Calgary. The place is to remember five inspiring young people killed at a party in the community of Brentwood five years ago. Jill Croteau reports.
It's a vision that's been years in the making: a gift to Calgarians and a gift to the grieving.
A space in South Glenmore Park is about to be transformed into a legacy garden honoring five lives. It will celebrate Lawrence Hong, Josh Hunter, Kaiti Perras, Jordan Segura and Zackariah Rathwell.
Ronda-Lee Rathwell, Zackariah's mom, said Wednesday's groundbreaking ceremony comes with mixed emotions.

"Some days it feels like he was taken from us so long ago and some days it feels like yesterday and some days it feels like he's still here, so today is happy (and) sad," Rathwell said.
Design elements featuring the number five will be reflected in the Quinterra Legacy Garden.
Five trees will be planted near five memorial chairs and a five-point star will be embedded in the performance stage.
There will also be outdoor musical instruments to encourage togetherness.
Patti Segura, Jordan's mom, feels the garden is a place where their children's spirits can still be alive.
Jordan Segura
"I want Jordan to keep living in other people. One day I will have grandchildren and I want them to know their uncle Jordan so I will definitely bring them here," Segura said.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi was on hand for the ceremony and said this is a fitting tribute to the five lives lost.
"They were remarkable people. People full of dreams and imagination and thoughts about the community and what they were trying to build together," Nenshi said.
"What is so great about this park is it's so real and true to who those people were."
Lawrence Hong's brother, Miles, said this day has been a long time coming.
Lawrence Hong
"Every step has been… Can this actually happen? So today is relief like, wow, it's actually coming together," Hong said.
Josh Hunter's dad, Barclay, said he looks forward to the space becoming a reality later this fall.
Josh Hunter
"It's bittersweet. It's nice to see it come to this point. I wish Josh was here instead, but it's our reality so we are doing this to honor Josh and the others and to do good things," Hunter said.
Kaiti Perras' mom, Shannon Miller, said she felt her daughter's presence.
Kaiti Perras
"It's hard to describe when you know in your heart and soul that someone is with you and proud and happy and full of so much love," Miller said. "It's an amazing thing… Yeah, she is with us here today."
The families are still fundraising, hoping to reach their goal of $750,000.

Two newly published papers (in JACC) have delved into subsets of patients from the EVEREST II (Endovascular Valve Edge-to-Edge REpair STudy) High-Risk registry and REALISM Continued Access Study High-Risk Arm. While it's tricky to draw conclusions from retrospective analysis of a data set, the numbers suggest MitraClip could be beneficial in treating patients with severe MR. The papers were published in this month's Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
Open heart mitral valve surgery is the standard treatment for MR, but many patients are too sick to undergo major surgery or at significant risk of death if they do.
Last October Abbott Vascular gained FDA approval for use of its MitraClip device in patients with significant symptomatic degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Around the same time a favourable paper was presented at the annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics 2013 bash, suggesting that 127 patients treated with the device showed changes in quality-of-life measures well above established thresholds.
Abbott Vascular's MitraClip is a minimally invasive option, working like a sophisticated clothes peg to hold the central portion of the valve's two leaflets together and in so doing improving their ability to close and resist back flow, the aforementioned regurgitation. The result is a more efficient heart with the consequence that it relieves symptoms, can improve patient quality of life, shorten recovery time and, with that, short hospital stays to two to three days.
The new study data concludes that MitraClip use results in improved outcome measures in higher risk patients than had previously been demonstrated.
327 of 351 patients completed 12 months of follow-up. Patients were elderly, with 70% having functional MR and 60% having prior cardiac surgery. The mitral valve device reduced MR to in 86% of patients at discharge. Major adverse events at 30 days included death in 4.8%, myocardial infarction in 1.1%, and stroke in 2.6%.

National Special feature
Autosport's top 10 club drivers of 2022
There's been no shortage of stand-out performers over the course of the 2022 national racing season in a plethora of UK series, ranging from Formula Ford to Mazdas and just about everything in-between. Here are Autosport's top 10 club drivers
There was plenty of action across the 2022 national racing season, and a number of notable performers rose to the top during the course of the campaign. Here are the drivers that made Autosport's annual top 10 list from across the myriad of series.
10. Felix Fisher, 1st CCRC FF1600
Felix Fisher was the 'nearly man' of Castle Combe's super-competitive Formula Ford championship. Tantalisingly close to the crown several times, with numerous race wins to his credit, the ultimate prize always eluded him.
Fed up with being the dynasty's underachiever – brother Josh and late father Brian are triple Combe FF1600 and Special GT champions respectively – Felix dug deeper in 2022. The electrician won six of the 11 rounds, beating two-time FF1600 Combe champion Luke Cooper to the crown.
Felix Fisher finally claimed the CCRC Formula Ford title, matching the achievement of his brother Josh

9. Lewis Thompson, 6th BRSCC Caterham Seven UK
Reigning Caterham 310R champion Lewis Thompson graduated to the premier Seven UK championship in 2022, and could have been a title contender had he not missed the opening two rounds while his car was still being built.
He took an incredible eight wins and a further five podiums from the season's remaining 15 races, which included a win on his debut at Silverstone. This was followed by two more wins at Donington Park, a hat-trick at Knockhill and another brace at Spa.

8. Sam Corson, 1st SMRC Scottish C1 Cup
It wasn't that long ago that Sam Corson was racing – and winning – in the virtual world. A product of the Scottish Motor Racing Club's Esports scene, Corson has shown an incredible adaptation to real world racing, to the extent where he was the driver to beat for most of the year in the local C1 Cup.
A disqualification for chief rival Finlay Brunton made life a little bit easier come the end of the season but, make no mistake, this was a reference year for Corson and he came up trumps in every area.
Corson proved to be a winner, both in the real world and virtually
7. Wallace Menzies, 1st BARC British Hillclimb Championship
In taking his third straight British Hillclimb title, Wallace Menzies seldom, if ever, put a wheel wrong. The Scot was only out of the top three twice in 29 run-offs; once at a rain-hit Prescott and once, by 0.04 seconds, in a topsy-turvy season opener.
Yet his hat-trick was only concluded at the final event after a fabulous battle with Alex Summers. The combination of Menzies and Gould GR59 proved unbeatable, and he was a fabulous ambassador for the championship out of the car.

6. Maximus Hall, 1st BARC Junior Saloons Cars
Never giving up is a crucial factor for any ambitious driver, and Maximus Hall's efforts in the Junior Saloon Car Championship were proof of that. With Westbourne Motorsport team-mate Harry Hickton showing strong winning form in the early part of the year, Hall had to keep racking up points consistently if he was to have any chance of the title.
He hit his stride in the latter part of the year, including a memorable hat-trick of wins at the Brands Hatch finale that helped seal the crown.

5. Nelson King, 1st BARC Mini Challenge Trophy
There was no disputing who would be crowned as Mini Challenge Trophy champion this year. Despite a competitive field and an average of 30 cars in the series, Nelson King was unstoppable.
He won seven of the opening eight contests, putting the Graves Motorsport driver into a commanding position at the top of the standings, before he duly sealed the title at a very wet Brands Hatch finale. Not bad for a driver in just their second season of car racing and up against more experienced rivals.

4. Liam McGill, 1st SMRC Scottish Fiesta ST and 1st MSVR Focus Cup
Two titles and 19 victories represented a stellar year for Liam McGill. His first triumph in the Scottish Fiesta ST Championship didn't come until round three but, from there, he didn't look back. Five wins from six races set up a showdown with Steven Gray in a rain-soaked finale, which McGill won to seal the crown.
A planned one-off appearance in the Focus Cup season-opener turned into a full campaign, from which he scored 12 victories, wrapping things up with three rounds to spare.
McGill took two titles and 19 wins during the course of the season
3. Ben Short, 1st 750MC 5Club Racing MX-5 Cup
Ben Short had already won three 5Club Racing MX-5 Cup titles – in 2015, 2017 and 2021 – but this year he did something quite special, adding a fourth title by winning all 17 races that he started.
Most drivers with such a record make it look easy, but Short rarely dominated a race. And, despite his relentless success, the idiosyncratic points system – and his absence from an early-season Silverstone meeting – meant the title wasn't secured until the final event.
Short was the master of Mazda MX-5 racing, winning all 17 races he started

2. Samuel Harrison, 1st HSCC Historic FF1600/2nd F3/28th= Formula Junior
When Samuel Harrison celebrated his 19th birthday on Christmas Day, he could reflect on a remarkable season in historic racing.
In only his second year in cars, the former karter blitzed the Historic Formula Ford 1600 Championship with the Speedsport Merlyn Mk20, and jumped at the chance to race a Chevron B15 in Historic F3 and a Brabham BT6 in Formula Junior. He was unbeaten in both cars, while he also triumphed in a newer Dallara F397 in Monoposto to take his season's tally to 21 wins.
Harrison was impressive in a number of historic machines, taking an incredible 21 wins

1. Mikey Doble, 1st BARC Ginetta GT5 and 1st BRSCC BMW Compact Cup
An impressive year for the third-generation family racer ended with the unusual task of trying to win two titles at different venues on the same weekend. The first of them, at Silverstone, proved a formality – he'd dominated the BMW Compact Cup season with 10 victories.
He then took the Ginetta GT5 Challenge crown on the road in an extremely tight Donington Park decider, but it wasn't until a month later that he was officially crowned champion after a penalty was overturned.

HP High School women intend to be a big hit this season with softball
By Howard Princz | March 21, 2015
The snow is melting, the sun is shining, and the women are getting ready to kick off their 2015 softball season. The players intend to make this an exciting season at Highland Park High School. The Owls finished 8-9 in 2014. They look to improve on their record from a year ago and a quartet of senior captains will lead the way. "Our four seniors look to lead by example, be good role models, play 110 percent and to the best of their ability," said Lori Szentgyorgyi, entering her 11th season at the helm.
Running the show is senior hurler Zoe Shombert. "Zoe has an incredible spirit and determination and a fire under her," said Coach Szentgyorgyi.
Senior centerfielder Nautica Dennis was an All-GMC Gold Division selection last season. "Nautica is a great role model and has an ability to maintain a happy balance between silly and serious to get things done, " stated the coach.
Another captain looking to help her team get the job done is senior third baseman Nyahjah Boynkins. "She has the desire to go out and give 110 percent which helps everyone else do the right thing," Ms. Szentgyorgyi said.
Rounding out the quartet is senior shortstop Carly Aversa. "Carly is hard worker who questions everything and looks for ways to improve herself."
Junior first baseman Sydney McManus-Smith looks to overcome injury to become a integral part of the team. Sophomore Simona Moyal will start as catcher this season and is an important cog to the success of pitcher Shombert on the mound. "Simona has worked hard to improve herself on the field."
Sophomore Ester Adiv, is a tremendous three-sport athlete who can play second base and the outfield. She will be starting at first while first base player Smith recuperates from injury.
Sophomore Hallie Lerner who played outfield and shortstop last season is a focused youngster looking to hit her stride.
The Owls have a big goal this year. Improve their overall record from a year ago, stay positive, play to the best of their strengths and working together as a team. The Owls open up the preseason with scrimmages against Bound Brook next Monday, March 23 and Manville, March 30. Their season opener is at Dunellen, April 1, followed by consecutive home games against South River on April 6 and Bound Brook on April 8. Key matchups will be against Wardlaw and Bound Brook this season.
"When we play Bound Brook, it is an out-of-conference game which is a good game for us to play and makes us play better. Wardlaw also is a big challenge for us. We're excited about the season starting. If we show confidence and it rubs off on the players, it will be a big boost to the season," said the coach.

One of the most unexpected collaborations of recent memory, Defected presents Loco Dice In The House is THE explosive dance music compilation of the year. Featuring tracks and remixes from cutting edge artists such as Kyle Hall, Skudge, Glimpse, Diplo, Marcel Dettmann and Dice himself as well as a hand-picked selection of unreleased Desolat exclusives, this is an incredible release from an undisputed legend of the scene.
The union of Loco Dice and Defected Records may at first seem like an unlikely one, but when you consider that both artist and label have tirelessly fought to promote the best in techno and house respectively for over a decade, the pieces begin to fall into place.
Loco Dice is a true original; a relentlessly creative force of electronically enhanced nature whose residencies at the world's biggest clubs – DC10 and Amnesia, Ibiza among them – have elevated him to the ranks of icon on the underground scene.
Voted in the top 10 DJs of Resident Advisor's highly respected end of year polls for the last three years in a row, Loco Dice is the undisputed king of the rolling, muscular basslines and delicately crafted atmospheres he creates with each of his sets. Defected presents Loco Dice In The House is the next step in a career that has been littered with unpredictable moves, backed up by glittering moments of genius.
Dice himself explains how the collaboration came about: "Defected is one of the labels that have always been in my record box" he says. "I have an entire section dedicated to them in my collection and I grew up with the label's history. I think what they're doing at the moment with combining a lot of different styles and bringing together a diverse range of artists is great. Defected has the freedom to do this, unlike a lot of labels.
"Eventually he asked me if I could do something for Defected, with as much freedom as I needed. For me it's a great opportunity, and I always take compilations so seriously, as seriously as I would an album. I'm so happy with the results.
The results are, perhaps unsurprisingly, electrifying as Dice selects tracks from Tsuba, Strictly Rhythm, Running Back, Sub Level, Clone and more, from the housier vibes delivered through tracks like Franck Roger 'Dont U Know' (Matthew Styles Club Mix) and Robert Dietz 'Common' to dark harder-edged offerings in the vein of Skudge 'Convolution', Marcel Dettmann 'Ellipse' and Alden Tyrell 'Rush'.
Defected presents Loco Dice In The House exemplifies the open-minded attitude to electronic music embraced by both label and artist, and delivers a truly unique and timeless listening experience.
Loco Dice has also recently announced the next chapter in his love affair with the White Isle with his new 'Used & Abused' residency which will take place every Thursday from June 6th until to the end of September 2013. It will witness a return to Ibiza's heyday via a series of outdoor-daytime parties at one of the island's leading venues; Ushuaïa Ibiza. As one of electronic music's leading figures, Loco Dice is curating a new experience that not only pays homage to his 15 year journey on the island, but is representative of where he is artistically at present.

Kevin Colbert: 'I Feel Better About Where We Are' In 2020 Than I Did Last Offseason
Posted on February 13, 2020 at 6:28 pm
In any season, unless you lose half of your team suddenly, when you are 8-5 with control over your destiny and you lose your last three games to miss the postseason, it has to be a disappointment regardless of the circumstances that led up to your 13-game record.
That was the case for the Pittsburgh Steelers last year, who astoundingly weathered the loss of Ben Roethlisberger, and then the benching of Mason Rudolph, to bounce back from a 1-4 start to reach that point, on the strength of a 7-1 run in the middle of the year. They would have had control of the number five seed, and were even still in the running for the division at that time.
Instead, they have the 18th-overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft—or they would have if they didn't trade it to the Miami Dolphins. And that is thanks to an almost complete failure of the offense down the stretch, which had already bene doing the bare minimum.
"I'm very disappointed that we are 8-8. To me, that's a regression from 9-6-1 the previous year", general manager Kevin Colbert told Missi Matthews yesterday. "Neither was good enough to get us into the playoffs, and that's the minimum for this franchise, is to qualify for the Super Bowl championship".
"We'll never lose sight of winning one is the ultimate goal, but if you don't qualify [for the playoffs], you can't win it. And that's way below our standards. So I look forward to that challenge". The Steelers have now missed the playoffs in consecutive seasons, and have not one a postseason game since 2016, when they reached the AFC Championship Game.
In spite of the fact that they finished with a worse record than they had the year before, however, and their second late-season collapse, Colbert did say that he is more optimistic about the next season this offseason than he was a year ago.
"I feel better about where we are moving into 2020 than I did in 2019, quite honestly, because I think the defense has a chance to be a significant defense as they proved going through the season", he said, "and I think the offense can be better, obviously if we can our quarterback back up and running".
Their quarterback, of course, is Ben Roethlisberger, who is recovering from elbow surgery. Colbert did not have any meaningful update on Roethlisberger's status, and would not even confirm, once again, exactly the nature of the operation that he had. He was asked directly if he had Tommy John surgery and would not divulge.
There is reason for optimism as far as the defense is concerned goes, of course. There is nobody who should be falling off the cliff due to age this year, especially with Joe Haden coming off his best season in years, and several young players should be playing their way into better days. They will likely lose Javon Hargrave, but will also get Stephon Tuitt back from injury.

Balakrishna is also producing this film under his newly launched 'NBK Films' banner.
The biopic of the legendary Telugu superstar and former Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, Nandamuri Taraka Rama Rao (NTR) is currently on the shooting floors. Krish is directing this film with NTR's son Balakrishna (NBK) playing the titular role of his father. Vidya Balan is also a part of this film, playing NTR's first wife Basavatarakam.
Balakrishna is also producing this film under his newly launched 'NBK Films' banner. Sai Korrapati and Vishnu Indukuri are the co-producers of this magnum opus being planned on a big budget of Rs. 50 crore. According to recent reports in Tollywood, NBK will be investing Rs. 25 crore while the remaining Rs. 25 crore will be arranged by the two aforementioned co-producers. All the three will also share the profits that this film may bag in future, with NBK taking half the profit share and the other two splitting the other half. It sure looks like a healthy business model involving a lot of team work.
NBK recently tasted success with the mass masala entertainer, Jai Simha which was a Sankranti release earlier in the year. This NTR biopic is also similarly being planned as a Sankranti release in January 2019. It must be noted that Krish and NBK successfully collaborated on the well-received Gautamiputra Satakarni, which was also a Sankranti release in 2017.


looking for a seed that is similar to the climate of earth, where its snow North Pole and South Pole or just one of the two with no snow in between. If someone can find one, that would be great. Thanks!
Hey, I got this really cool seed that has 3 (as I discovered recently but I don't know if there is another) of ocean monuments, plenty of sunken boats with treasure maps, 2 or so villager's villages, a red sand island, 2 desert monuments, one jungle monuments (or whatever you call it), some frozen island that has polar bears and blue ices in it. And of course, a place which I think so similar to the pole (in that place I found the rare jockey skeleton riding spider). I got really lucky this time. It's seriously an amazing seed. Oh, and about how I discovered all this many amazing places that I was on adventure to seek the woodland castle (I got the map and I've been following it but it's so damn far it's like on the other side of the planet).
I'm sorry for all the grammar mistakes and long story. But I really like to share this joy with you or anyone else that reads this comment. If you want this seed, then just simply reply this comment or PM me.

Interesting that Cold Mountain jumped up 14 percent despite playing in 177 less theaters. I know a lot of people didn't like it and it's also become a popular punching bag for all the Miramax haters out there, but I liked it and like to see it do well.

I've seen alot of Cold Mountain advertising on TV lately. That probably helped increase its box office profile.

anyone know a link to the spiderman wtc teaser?


The yellowtail bite at Catalina is the best it's been since the 1998 El Nino and with fish scattered from the east to west ends, along both the front and back side of the island, it doesn't look like the action will slow down any time soon. Despite the volume of fish, there have been many reports from private boaters who have either struck out at the island or only ended up with a couple fish for their efforts. While some of these unsuccessful trips can be attributed to the yellows not biting on that day, most are due to the other species at the island biting too well.
Everything is biting at Catalina right now and biggest issue facing private boaters is that the ratio of yellowtail to other species is very low.
This means that if you anchor up on one of the stock spots along the island and try to catch yellowtail you're probably going to burn through all of your bait on calicos, bonito and barracuda. Luckily there are some things you can do to cut down on your bycatch.
Take for example the trip I took to Catalina last week with my friends Chris Oakes and Scott Smith. Our plan was to fish yellowtail on the west-end, front-side of the island, so we stopped at the bait receiver to pick up a half scoop of sardines. Chris warned me that sardines don't do all that well in his tank, so we stopped and snagged a dozen mackerel to round out our bait supply.
We took it easy running across, but the early west wind had the boat pounding a bit and by the time we reached the island most of our sardines had died and the remaining ones looked like extras from Night of the Living Dead. Our mackerel faired better, but weren't looking all that happy, so with 40 or so baits in the tank, we were on a pretty strict ration. Not having a specific spot in mind, we decided to look around and see if we could find some yellows.
When feeding, the yellowtail on the front side of Catalina will usually cruise the 15-fathom ridge that runs along the island. In most areas, the bottom drops off more steeply out past that edge and I assume the fish hang around there because it gives them access to bait schools that come out of deep water as well as those up against the island. Whatever the case, the fish were there that day and within seconds of beginning to slow troll one of our horrible looking sardines we had our first bite of the day and our first yellowtail in the boat.
Slow trolling a sardine is a great way to find yellowtail at the island, but as we soon found out, it's also a great way to find bass bonito and barracuda. We resolved our bycatch issue by slightly increasing our trolling speed and not letting the boat venture into water shallower than 85-feet. This resulted in us getting several more singles and doubles on yellowtail as we continued west. After a while, we stopped getting bites, so we wound them in and headed back to the spot where we had gotten our last bite and started trolling in the other direction.
We caught several fish trolling in the new direction but eventually drove out of them again. This helped us to narrow down the area that was holding biting-fish and we spent the rest of the morning concentrating on the area between our most easterly and westerly bites. This ended up being a half-mile stretch between two major points. I'm not sure why the fish were right there, but I guess it doesn't really matter.
Since most of our bites came within a small section of that half-mile stretch, we decided to make a drift through that area. That drift resulted in a couple more singles, a double and even a triple hook up. We repeated that drift several times and when we ran low on bait we switched to throwing the wax wing, which produced several fish. An hour later we were out of bait but managed to get twenty yellows in the few hours we fished.
While the yellows were on the small side and it wasn't exactly a barn burner fishing-wise, it was satisfying to have our strategy work out. While everyone fishes differently and actual results may vary, if you follow the same steps we took on Saturday, you've got a good chance at catching some yellows at Catalina right now. In case you missed it, here is a cheat sheet for your next trip.
Bring bigger baits: Sardines are good but mackerel is better, so spend the time snagging more, I wish we'd have left the sardines at the receiver and brought a tank of mackerel.
Find fish that aren't on spots: The bycatch is wide open at Catalina right now and if you fish one of the kelp beds or reefs you're going to burn through a lot of bait while waiting for the yellows to come through. We avoided those areas and turned our forty baits into twenty fish.
Define the expanse of the area you're fishing: By slow trolling up and then down the island we were able to determine where the fish started and stopped. This allowed us to focus our energies in a high percentage area instead of driving blindly on. On the same token we figured out that when we got too shallow our bycatch ratio went up. So, we were left with a preferred depth and a defined bite zone.
Figure out what else they'll bite: We didn't wait until we ran out of bait to start throwing jigs and wax wings. Instead, I tried different things while Chris and Scott fished bait. Their catching fish on bait gave me the confidence that there were feeding fish in the area and motivated me to keep throwing a lure. Had I waited until we were out of bait, there would have been no way for me to know whether or not there were actually any biting fish in the area and I probably would have given up before I got my first bite.
More yellowtail advice on BD.


Despite my initial reservations it seems getting up in time for breakfast at 7.30am was easier than I thought. Due to the timezone difference I actually awoke at about 4am and then had trouble getting back to sleep. Luckily there was free WIFI at the hotel so I spent a few hours checking up what was happening in the rest of the world.
The first job for the day after breakfast was to head over to the Microsoft Redmond Campus. A short coach ride and we were there. I knew the campus was big but didn't quite realise how big until I was really there.
Our first visit stop was Building 35 which is the home of SQL Server. After getting our security passes organised we where escorted upstairs to a meeting room where we were introduced to Ted Kummert and Nigel Ellis where an overview of the history of SQL Server was given and also some discussion on SQL Azure.
The expected question soon arose of which I am sure Microsoft cringe every time someone asks it… that being "When we there be a *nix version of the SQL Server driver". Much discussion ensued about the many reasons the open-source community and some commercial companies wanted it and the many reasons it wasn't yet available from Microsoft. I sure hope that one day it will be available but at this moment in time I am not expecting anything to be done about it in the near future.
Next up we had chance to visit the Microsoft store and Visitor centre where we had chance to see some of the many different products that Microsoft had worked on over the years. After some shopping and playing with the Xbox Kinect it was time to head back to the hotel for some lunch before the afternoons activities.
The first thing up in the afternoon was a surprise session of which we knew nothing about and involved us drumming and playing various musical instruments (and there was even some bad dancing at one-point). The idea being to try and get us to understand how different people working together can contribute in harmony even if the tools they are using are different.
Once we were all loosened up it was time to crack out the laptops and get down to the real reason we were all there… coding!
The first challenge was to work on porting our various applications to either the sqlsvr (native) driver or the PDO_SQLSVR driver. This was obviously easier for some projects that had abstraction layers in place already, for osCommerce however it was a little bit more work so progress was initially slow.
Towards the end of the afternoon my brain was getting pretty fried, the timezone difference and lack of sleep was certainly taking its toll. Luckily the evening didn't involve going too far with dinner in the hotel and then some xbox gaming.
Along with the rest of the hotel the food they provided was always excellent, I think I ate so much I thought I was going to burst! It certainly hindered me for the next part of the evening. Harald's flight had also landed by this time so I was looking forward to catching up with him again.
So onto the gamimg… In one of the various rooms in the hotel had been setup 2 Xbox 360's with the new Kinect controller after spending some time getting them calibrated the game was on.. the winner was to get to take a Kinect controller home with them. As you can imagine there was some frantic competition and the game settled on was "Ralleyball" which is part of the Kinect adventures game.
After numerous rounds and also numerous beers the eventual winner was none other than Paul Reinheimer by the end I was totally exhausted from all the cheering (and drinking) so it was time to hit the hay and try and do a better job and sleeping through the timezone differences, ready for what was install for Day 3!

It's A Bird!
Must has been written about birds, everything from what they have in the encyclopedia to whole books exclusively about them. One of our most famous bird experts was Audubon, who wouldn't have had anything to do if it weren't for birds. We have birdwatchers, bird cameras, and birdbaths. I personally own a birdbath, and it might actually have water in it.
Even with so much being written about birds, I sincerely believe the world can stand one more article. And so this is it.
My interest in birds today has to do with the famous opening to the "Adventures of Superman" show from the '50s, starring George Reeves. A crowd is gathered below, all looking up, and a kid yells, "It's a bird!" It strikes me as funny that he would be so excited about seeing a bird that he would yell out in a crowd and point at it with so much urgency. Hadn't he ever personally seen a bird before?
It could be that Superman was flying by so fast, so the kid thought he saw a very fast flying bird. Or that Superman, being the size of a man, would have made a spectacularly large bird. And instead of describing the possible bird as large or fast, which would have required some time, he just yelled out the shorter version, "It's a bird!"
But is it reasonable that there would be a bird the size of a man flying above, or a bird flying that fast? It could be that they hadn't seen Superman that much, except the last voice gets it right, "It's Superman!" So Superman isn't a stranger to these people over the skies of Metropolis. Making the original bird comment sound kind of dumb.
What other times was he mistaken? At Christmas when he had a package holding a wristwatch and he thought it might be a bicycle? "It's a bike!" "No, Billy, it's a watch, it's a little small to be a bike."
Birds. I see them everyday and it's not that exciting. Yet, think of it, these are flying creatures, without a flying machine! They just know how to fly. It's amazing. And it's really amazing when you consider where birds came from, according to what scientists say. DINOSAURS! That's some pretty tough genes birds have.
The dinosaurs, some of them anyway, started flapping whatever appendages they had. Maybe they were near a cliff and some of them actually glided to safety. These ones kept reproducing, showing their young by example how to jump off a cliff, with the very adaptable ones landing, meaning these would be the ones to reproduce. And guess what? It was the smaller dinosaurs that generally landed, meaning birds would progressively be smaller than their dinosaur ancestors. Once they took to the sky, there were no rules to hold them back. So that is exciting.
Naturally, the whole business with dinosaurs and this progression from dinosaur to bird took ages to be accomplished. By the time we got to Bible times, then, relatively not that long ago, birds were already old enough to be considered a particularly created species. So they fooled everybody, even Moses, perhaps. Maybe Moses knew; I don't want to dis Moses. If he wasn't ignorant of the whole matter, maybe he simply felt the time wasn't right to spring it on the world that birds came from dinosaurs.
Superman turned out definitely to not be a bird. Let's look back way before the TV show and earlier serial films. If you go way back, Superman didn't even fly, he just made big leaps. He was subject to gravity. This fact of leaping carried over to the phrase, "Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound."
