| Conditions at Tri-Oval favor technical drivers
FOUNTAIN CITY, Wis. It was a drivers' course Saturday and Sunday at the Tri-Oval Speedway when the United States Snowmobile Association took over the track.Over 15 inches of ice covered the track itself, while mounds of snow were piled on the infield for the first-time event.
Usually, oval-ice snowmobile racing takes place on what else? an oval. But, of course, the Fountain City track is tri-oval in shape and that meant a little less speed and a little more conditioning.The Champs Sleds 600 Opens got up to speeds around 80 mph on the ice track. On a comparable half-mile track, the same snowmobiles will get up to nearly 100 mph.What that meant for drivers was more work steering, less throttle jamming."It favored a driver in good condition," Director of USSA competition, Jerry Korinek, said, "a driver agile enough to control the sled."This was the first year Tri-Oval Speedway owner Jeff Duellman held such an event.
Beautiful game?
The way I see it is very simple. Sledging should not be aggressive. Rascism should not be tollerated. Sportsmanship should prevail. To me excessive sledging and not walking when umpires have made glaring errors is against the spirit of the game and should be viewed as such. The Oz should follow Gilchrist's example of play hard until your out then walk. The problem with this Oz side seems to me the lack of respect they have for their opponants (with a few exceotions). My most pervading memory of the glorious 05 Ashes tour was not the victory parade but the duel and mutual respect shown between Flintoff and Bret Lee - this was what I loved about that tour two teams at it hammer and tongs yet in the midst of it was a paramount mutual respect.
Trying to Figure Out How to Put a Google In Every Data Center
Google No. 1 has required many years of work to get up and running, along with millions of dollars of equipment and countless hours of mental toil by some of the computer industry's brainiest folks. But Google No. 2 you might be able to build yourself in a spare weekend. That's one way of thinking about a research project at the University of California, Berkeley, being funded, as it happens, by Google, among others. The researchers aren't interested in finding the secret behind Google's search algorithms. Instead, Armando Fox, a computer scientist and director of the RAD Lab project at Berkeley, and his team are trying to take the mystery out of Google's data centers. These data centers are the engines that run Google's search software; Yahoo, Microsoft and Amazon have their own.
