| Gotta know when to turn out the lights
I haven't heard people talk about horsepower in quite a while. They Chassis Dyno the things all the time, but horsepower is usually an afterthought. It's all about aero who's doing the coil binding setup and all the aerodynamic things these guys have dealt with all these years. But it's kind of fun now to hear guys changing spindles, A-arms, chassis components. Now all of a sudden the engine is a big factor in what is going on. I think this new car is creating every bit of that because the body is what it is you can't alter it. So it puts emphasis on a lot of things that we haven't paid any attention to for quite some time. From that perspective, I know Toyota has been working hard on their engine package, and Dodge is working on their new engine package. I just read where Jack Roush is working on a redesigned new engine package for Ford and Chevrolet has their new R07.

Steve Almond To Oprah: "I Don't Give A Shit How Many Books You Sell"
You're the world's leading retailer of inspiration. You're the Wal-Mart of Hope. Literature, though, isn't supposed to be a convenient shopping experience. It's a solitary imaginative endeavor aimed at arousing the anguish hidden inside us, the bad news of our hearts. There's no celebrity shrink on hand to dispense hankies, no empathic host to buzz manage our tears. There's no assurance that our frail human experiment will end in triumph by the final commercial break. You tell me, Oprah: should the Savior of Publishing be available with your basic cable package? I can already hear your fans howling for my head. But from where I'm sitting, you're just another zillionaire narcissist for whom fame (the illusion of unconditional love) has become the true goal and your public acts of good merely the means.

MTB News and Notes: A conversation with Greg Minnaar; New power at ...
It's been a roller coaster year for Greg Minnaar. The South African downhiller opened the season riding his country's Absa Cape Epic as a celebrity participant in the mixed team category (he finished fourth). Minnaar then spent the 2007 World Cup season nipping at the heels of reigning world champ Sam Hill. But a badly timed shoulder dislocation suffered while training in France, Germany derailed his campaign. Seemingly recovered, Minnaar looked to be capable of dethroning Hill at the World Cup round at Mont-Ste-Anne, Quebec, and at the world championships in Fort William, Scotland. But in both races Minnaar's shoulder painfully popped out of the socket midway through the run, forcing the South African to cool his jets. In Fort William, Minnaar hit the deck after his shoulder dislocated, breaking his shoulder blade.
Notes to Interviewers Should Go Beyond A Simple Thank You
A thoughtful follow-up carries as much clout as a cover letter, many experts say. Nearly nine out of 10 senior executives consider a written thank you influential in evaluating candidates, according to a 2007 survey of 150 respondents by Accountemps, a professional staffing service. Your post-interview correspondence should deliver a sales pitch far more compelling than a simple thanks. "Put a spin on it that acts in your favor,'' recommends Kate Wendleton, president of the Five O'Clock Club, a career-counseling network in New York. "An effective thank-you letter should hit every one of an employer's hot buttons," concurs Wendy Enelow, an author, trainer and career consultant in Coleman Falls, Va. You can hit those buttons by linking your skills to solving specific workplace problems that you learned about during interviews.
Meredith Kercher's funeral held
Kercher, an exchange student from Leeds University, was found semi-naked with a deep cut to her throat. Her brutal death made international headlines after prosecutors revealed their belief that she was killed because she refused to have sex with one or more attackers. It also resonated with European students as thousands of young people like Kercher study under the Erasmus exchange programme. Perugia is a choice destination. A suspect in her murder, Rudy Hermann Guede, a 20-year-old man from Ivory Coast, was extradited back to Italy earlier this month from Germany, for questioning over the murder. Police say they had found fingerprints matching his on Kercher's pillow, which place him at the scene of the crime. He left Italy for Germany after the killing and was arrested there on November 20.
