Objective: To examine variations in health service expenditures and social services expenditures across Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries and assess their association with five population-level health outcomes.
Design: A pooled, cross-sectional analysis using data from the 2009 release of the OECD Health Data 2009 Statistics and Indicators and OECD Social Expenditure Database.
Setting: OECD countries (n = 30) from 1995 to 2005.
Main outcomes: Life expectancy at birth, infant mortality, low birth weight, maternal mortality and potential years of life lost.
Results: Health services expenditures adjusted for gross domestic product (GDP) per capita were significantly associated with better health outcomes in only two of five health indicators; social services expenditures adjusted for GDP were significantly associated with better health outcomes in three of five indicators. The ratio of social expenditures to health expenditures was significantly associated with better outcomes in infant mortality, life expectancy and increased potential life years lost, after adjusting for the level of health expenditures and GDP.
Conclusion: Attention to broader domains of social policy may be helpful in accomplishing improvements in health envisioned by advocates of healthcare reform.

Renewable Energy is Not an Ideological Issue
There is nothing ideological about the issue of renewable energy resources. Proponents tend to care about the health of the natural environment, which motivates their wish to see renewables replace high-polluting fuel sources like oil and coal, but the technologies, the fact of their economic viability and their usefulness for society at large, are not in any way a matter of ideology.
Neither is there anything ideological about the allegiance of some to carbon-based fuels. The considerations are entirely practical on all sides, and we need to remember this as we try to find consensus on how to move forward, responsibly, as a civilization, in terms of our relationship to energy and the environment.
For some people in the political arena, it would appear to make more sense to continue to support carbon-based fuels as the primary resource for energy production, for a number of practical reasons, each of which can be refuted on practical grounds: 1) because those entities that profit from carbon-based fuels donate to one's campaign; 2) because those entities that profit from carbon-based fuels "create jobs"; 3) because burning things to release energy is easier to understand than more advanced technologies.
There are real ideologically-rooted reasons why the passions can run so deep on either side: for environmentalists, it is morally unconscionable that we continue burning dirty fuels and eroding the natural systems on which all life depends, no matter the reasons; for the pro-petroleum segment of the political spectrum, there are patriotic roots, hearkening back to two world wars and the Cold War, with oil seen as a guarantor of security.
Oil is no longer that, and passions aside, thinking people have to acknowledge that the root of those passions is really practical and not ideological anyway. It makes practical sense to be good stewards of the environment on which we depend for everything that we have, and it was a practical consideration that linked industrial production and national security to the availability of carbon-based fuels.
But now, national security has become so closely linked to energy supply issues that we can no longer rely —again, in strictly practical terms— on a commodity as volatile, finite and problematic as petroleum. The costs to society are too great, whether we are talking about war-fighting —and war-funding, for that matter—, the loss of freedom in terms of shaping our foreign policy, or our economic choices, costs in terms of human health or the destabilization of major climate systems.
And coal, while abundant in North America, is so dirty a resource that the environmental fallout alone makes it less than reasonable as a foundational resource for long-term future planning. There may come a time when carbon itself is a resource, required for its chemical properties, but not necessarily as useful as we now pretend, as a combustible fuel. Places where the coal industry has its roots may have to change focus or find technologically cutting-edge ways to justify the exploration for coal.
The reasons for this are hard to understand, if one starts from the assumption that there is something traditional or sacredly local or productive about coal. But if we step back and consider the real adaptability of human populations, we find that no community really needs the coal industry, having no chance of survival or prosperity in its absence, in the way the coal industry lobby pretends.
Communities are made up of human beings and are as adaptable as those human beings' minds, hearts and relationships. The relationship to powerful coal interests is not always a happy one, and this alone can open doors for the development of resources that are more sustainable, more local-friendly, and respectful of future human need in ways that older technologies simply cannot be.
Even the coal industry itself could innovate, diversify, and find ways to turn its operations into major sources of clean renewable energy. At least three renewable resources come to mind: geothermal energy production, wind and solar. Mining companies in many cases own or lease land for which they have not yet devised a marketable use or long ago abandoned, and these can be converted to solar farms, wind farms or geothermal fields.
While international mining companies are outsourcing administrative jobs and moving to more "cost effective" mining sites overseas, some are beginning to use disused mining sites in the US to build part of the new clean-energy infrastructure. Across the southwest, such projects are already in development or being implemented. According to the Arizona Republic:
Both the Bureau of Land Management and Environmental Protection Agency are studying the potential to put renewable-energy projects on mines, landfills and other disturbed lands.
Mines can help avoid many of the expenses solar plants face on pristine desert, experts said, such as environmental rules that require relocating saguaros and other protected plants.
There is no reason why environmentalists seeking to promote clean energy and communities steeped in a long tradition of coal mining or oil drilling cannot come together, free of ideological constraints, to craft the solutions that will make the US a global leader in efficient, profitable, mass-produced clean energy. The ideology that claims this issue is one of ideology is simply a rhetorical framework that serves the interests of the most stagnant and unimaginative coal and oil interests.
Major oil producers could easily invest billions in renewable R&D and become global pioneers in the rush to achieve a fully self-sustaining clean-energy economy. Their resistance is perhaps more linked to a short-sighted ideological prejudice than to a lack of will to be part of the future, but they do not have any real ideological framework to back up their position, and the logic that favors a transition to renewables does not require one.
From a strictly economic standpoint, it does not make sense to continue being near totally reliant upon a way of doing business that carries the wildly exorbitant potential costs of an Ixtoc, anExxon Valdez, Texaco in Ecuador, or a Deepwater Horizon disaster. If we want to be intelligent about how we achieve "energy independence", we have to first assess and confront the real costs of doing business the way big oil does business.
It's not a matter of "a tax on energy" or "a tax on carbon", it's a matter of making sure the responsible parties pay their share. Subsidies on an unprecedented scale, have made the oil business look and feel profitable in ways that it actually is not, when the health of the wider economy is considered. Were those wider costs built into the business itself, big oil would not be nearly as attractive an investment as it seemed to be until the Deepwater Horizon well blew out in April.
While an "ideology" that values the natural environment over the right of the oil industry to make profits may rejoice at the opportunity to use such a failure as BP has experienced in the Gulf of Mexico to make the case against oil, that political motive does not make it any less true that BP had no responsible or credible action plan for dealing with an environmental catastrophe of this magnitude, despite deliberately doing everything necessary —reportedly cutting corners and ordering the suppression of good information— to bring about the catastrophe.
That such risks can be avoided with a transition to clean, renewable energy resources that do not require combustion and do not require oil or coal to achieve the efficiency gains they aim to achieve, is just as honestly not a matter of ideology. It's the way it is. And science is now demonstrating that we can produce more than enough electricity, nationally, to power our entire domestic energy consumption through wind and solar alone, if we build the infrastructure.
At the point where the renewable energy infrastructure is pervasive and functional enough to outpace carbon-based fuels in total power generation capacity, there will be no question, practically speaking, whether or not renewables are a more effective method of promoting long-term economic health and prosperity. Where is the ideology inherent in planning for such a virtuous moment of future achievement?

One response to Renewable Energy is Not an Ideological Issue
I am researching a feature article looking at oil and gas companies which are professing an interest in renewable energy, particularly wind power. Is this genuine or 'greenwash' ? Does this put different divisions of oil and gas companies in opposition ? Is the motive to appear more 'sustainable' to investors ?
I wondered if you had any further views on this.

Man who as a child opened door to sectarian killers of his grandfather plagued by guilt
Michael Monaghan Snr at the High Court in Belfast, Michael's father in law was killed by the UVF in 1994, pictured with his legal team Kevin Winters and Setanta Marley. Picture by Mal McCann
A MAN who as a child opened the door to the sectarian killers of his grandfather has been plagued by unwarranted feelings of guilt and shame, the High Court has heard.
A consultant psychiatrist who assessed Michael Monaghan Jr said he wrongly felt responsible for failing to prevent the loyalist murder of Sean McParland in his north Belfast home nearly 30 years ago.
He is suing the chief constable for alleged failures in the handling of a police informant involved in the assassination.
Mr McParland, a 55-year-old Catholic, was shot as he carried out babysitting duties at the house on Skegoniel Avenue in February 1994.
UVF commander-turned-supergrass Gary Haggarty has already pleaded guilty and been convicted of the murder as part of a huge catalogue of paramilitary crime.
The legal action centres on the role played by another terrorist, a suspected Special Branch agent referred to only as 'Informant 1'.
Mr McParland's four grandchildren are all seeking compensation for the mental injuries and trauma they were exposed to.
Lawyers for the family claim Informant 1 used his protected status to participate in multiple murders.
With the PSNI said to have admitted negligence and misfeasance in public office, a dispute remains over the level of any damages.
The court heard Mr McParland was nine years old when the UVF killers tricked him into opening the front door. One of the masked men pointed a gun at him before targeting their victim, who had been recovering from throat cancer. Mr Monaghan recalled seeing his grandfather getting on his knees and begging the gunman not to shoot.
According to Dr Maria O'Kane, Mr Monaghan has developed a complex post traumatic stress disorder.
The psychiatrist, who interviewed him in 2020, told the court he regarded himself as behaving more like a small adult than a child at the scene of the shooting.
"It has partially dictated his huge sense of guilt and shame in relation to all this," she said.
"He felt he should have managed better than he did, he wasn't able to realise that he was nine years of age and shouldn't have been taking as much responsibility for this as he did."
Questioned by Brian Fee KC, for the plaintiff, Dr O'Kane disclosed how Mr Monaghan became tearful and agitated at the memory of his grandfather begging for his life.
"It was a very powerful image of seeing this," she said.
"The other powerful image was of giving the baby grow to the paramedic whenever his grandfather was being resuscitated. It was very distressing for him to talk about it."
The court heard he has experienced feelings likened to "survivor's guilt".
"He talked about feeling responsible for all of this, the fact that he opened the door," the psychiatrist explained.
"But he should have known that he couldn't do more to intervene to stop the gunman from killing his grandfather."
Referring to his childhood psychiatry notes, she added: "At that point he hated himself (and felt) he was responsible for everything that happened.
"At the time of my assessment… that sense of responsibility for what happened hadn't left him."
The hearing continues.

Home/Music/Music Review: Thelonious Monk – The Definitive Thelonious Monk
Definitive recordings from one of the giants of American jazz.
Music Review: Thelonious Monk – The Definitive Thelonious Monk
David Bowling August 23, 2010 Comments Off on Music Review: Thelonious Monk – The Definitive Thelonious Monk 96 Views
The Definitive Thelonious Monk is one of three releases by The Concord Music Group, which has assembled early essential recordings by some jazz greats. Sonny Rollins and John Coltrane are also a part of this series.
Thelonious Monk, 1917-1982, was a jazz genius and one of the leading practitioners of the bebop movement. His improvisational ability and his penchant for jumping around within the melody was both innovative and critical to the development of American jazz.
His time with the Prestige label, 1952-1954, and the Riverside label, 1955-1961, was not commercially successful, but it formed the foundation for his later success with the Columbia label from 1962-1970. This release focuses exclusively upon his early work from 1952-1960.
The sound is excellent considering the recording equipment of the fifties and especially given the limitations of some of the smaller jazz labels. The booklet presents a nice biography of Monk and a history of each track. I also appreciate the chronological order of the songs as it allows the listener to follow his development as a musician.
His backing musicians are some of the cream of early fifties jazzmen. Art Blakely, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Coleman Hawkins, Gerry Mulligan, Max Roach, Sonny Rollins, and many more are among the artists who appear on this album.
The earliest track is "Bye-Ya" from 1952. It featured his basic trio of himself on piano, bassist Gary Mapp, and drummer Art Blakely. It is an excellent introduction to his early style. 1954's "I Want To Be Happy" finds him sharing the spotlight with sax player Sonny Rollins. 1954's "Bemsha Swing," at over nine minutes, finds him supporting Miles Davis. 1957's "'Round Midnight," at over six minutes, is pure Monk as he plays unaccompanied.
Many of the late fifties tracks are live performances and Thelonious Monk live is always a treat. "Little Rootie Tootie," "Straight No Chaser," and Four In One" are all over eight minutes in length, which allows him to improvise and stretch out.
The Definitive Thelonious Monkis a nice introduction into the mind and music of a modern jazz great. This selection of material is American jazz at its best.

Dear friends and fans, half a year ago we broke up with our former frontman and a rummors said that we are at the end of our career.
There was a tough task to find a new singer and rerrange a complete playlist.
After half a year of searching a needle in a haystack we found it and that needle has a name - meet our new frontman RADIM KORBEL!!!!


If you happen to have some grappa on hand, the fiery Italian spirit is a delicious alternative for the gin in this recipe.
Set a large pot of salted water over high heat and bring to a boil.
Meanwhile, finely grate the zest of one of the lemons; set aside. Cut a thick slice off both ends of the zested lemon to expose the flesh. Stand the fruit upright, then cutting from the top down, remove the peel, including all the white pith. Holding the fruit over a bowl to catch the juice, use a paring knife to cut along either side of each segment to free it from the membranes; let each segment fall into the bowl as you go. Once you've removed all the segments, squeeze any juice from the membranes into the bowl and then discard. Remove the seeds and set the segments aside in another small dish. Measure the juice in the bowl. Cut the remaining lemon in half and squeeze to obtain 2 Tbs. juice total.
In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, place the cream, gin or grappa, and lemon segments and bring just to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the cream thickens slightly, 5 to 8 min. Remove from the heat.
When the water boils, cook the pasta according to package directions until just al dente. Drain. Reheat the cream sauce over medium-low heat.
Add the lemon juice to the sauce, along with the drained pasta and half of the grated lemon zest. Toss the pasta in the warm sauce to coat thoroughly. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve in warmed pasta bowls. Sprinkle with the remaining lemon zest and the parsley.
If serving as a dinner, start with a hearty green salad.
Outstanding. Easy to prep and cook. You can make the sauce ahead. The grappa is a delicious addition. It was the hit of our dinner party last night.
This recipe is definitely worth a try since it is tasty and super quick to make. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 was that the gin overpowered the dish (and, wine aside, I'm personally not a fan of the taste of liquor in food). Next time I plan on cutting the amount of gin in half or substitute white wine.

Tech alumna Leigh Daniel Cordes reflects on running career
By: Brandi Addison
Leigh Daniel Cordes, Tech alumna and former track athlete, now serves as the head women's cross country and track coach at Lubbock Christian University.
Winning seven Big 12 Conference championships, Daniel Cordes is also a two-time national champion and Tech's first individual national champion. She also won the World University Games in Spain.
She is a mother to 5-year-old Carsyn, 4-year-old Drew and 1-year-old Masyn, and a wife to LCU's director of cross country and track, Nick Cordes.
Jan Tilley, Daniel Cordes' mother, said her daughter has an incredible drive, and once she has her mind set on something, she gets it done.
"She's very competitive with herself and with people," Tilley said. "She has a really strong faith, and I know that her faith is a really important aspect of her life. Growing up, Leigh was always my perfect child. She always got good grades. She always dressed nice, looked beautiful. She acted well. She was just a good, easy kid in that respect."
Growing up, Daniel Cordes was always competitive, Tilley said. Even as a 2-year-old, she would get frustrated when she could not complete a puzzle.
During high school, Daniel Cordes played basketball and tennis. In basketball, she set a record for the most 3-point shots in one game.
It was not until her senior year that Daniel Cordes began to run track, and in that short amount of time, she was able to accomplish a lot.
"I think she comes from a long line of family that believes the sky is the limit," Tilley said. "My dad always taught me that, and I've told her that. I've always known she had a special talent and ability. Not everybody is an athlete and people person. She just has this special calling on her life that I have been blessed to nurture as she's grown. It's difficult, too, because she can be demanding of herself."
Daniel Cordes has experienced interesting moments throughout her lifetime. Once, evangelist Franklin Graham came into town and asked her to speak for an audience, which was a special experience, Tilley said.
Her wedding was also filmed on the "Today" show, she said.
"That's the kind of thing that happens to Leigh," Tilley said. "She says, 'I think I'll try to be on the 'Today' show wedding, and next thing you know, she's there, because she makes things happen. Good things follow her around."
Tilley has heard many testimonies from young ladies about how Daniel Cordes has inspired them. Overall, she is an incredible human with a great drive, Tilley said.
"I'm just incredibly proud of the young woman that she has become, in all aspects of her life," Tilley said. "She's a great athlete, yes. She's a great mom, yes. But she's just a great person, and I am so incredibly proud of her balance."
Dave Smith, former track coach at Tech and current director of cross country and track and field at Oklahoma State University, said Daniel Cordes was in the group of students he coached during his first year, and she is a reason why he continued to coach.
"She was almost naïve to how good she was," Smith said. "She didn't know how good she could be, and she was naïve about the sport. She didn't have a lot of information about the people she was running against. She didn't put limits on herself. She was a dreamer and dreamed big and thought she could do big things. Even when she started winning her championships, she had dreamed it that way, and all of her steps prior to that would've said there was no way. But she always kind of ignored anyone who said she couldn't do it and decided she could."
Daniel Cordes was incredibly hard working, he said. The aspect that made her stand out the most from anyone else was that she would never let anything hinder her from her accomplishments.
"She was an absolute pit bull when it was time to race," Smith said. "She'd lock her jaw, get ready for the race, and nothing could shake her. She would refuse to give in, in a way that a few people can."
She was a tenacious competitor, he said. As an athlete and as a woman, she had experiences that a lot of women might experience. The fact that she overcame it all made him realize how many lives she would impact someday.
Smith said he always hoped she would become a collegiate coach someday.
"If you've talked to her, she's extremely engaging," Smith said. "She's really charismatic, and she kind of just lights up the room when she walks in: her personality and her smile. It was just incredible, and I think people respond well to that kind of person. She's very genuine, and never was she corrupted by herself. She always stayed very humble and very down-to-earth."
He said his favorite memory from coaching her was during the 1999 NCAA outdoor 10,000-meter race. During the race, her shoe fell off. She sat on the track, untied her shoe to put it back on and became quite a bit behind from the rest of the runners, and she still came back to win the championship. This is a moment that people across the nation remember and he still hears people ask him about that time when he was a coach at Tech.
A lot of people would have just given up at that point, he said, but Daniel Cordes would not allow that of herself.
"Part of the reason I'm still coaching is because I got to watch her my first year," Smith said. "And, it was really fun. Watching someone develop and grow and seeing what all they've accomplished, and watching her dreams come true was great. Watching her compete across the United States and in international competition: All the things runners dream about, Leigh did."
Her allowing him to share that experience got him hooked on coaching. He said he always thought he would only coach for a year or two, but she changed that for him.
"Everybody that knows her is proud of her," Smith said. "The things that she accomplished as an athlete and the person she is, and I'm sure the kind of wife and mom she is. She's one of those who anything she wanted to be, she would be very good at. It's part of her personality, and it's who she is. No one can have a bad day around her. She'll just ruin that bad day and put a smile on their face."
Daniel Cordes said she has been blessed in all aspects of her life.
Originally, she wanted to be a professional runner, but she got injured. However, she said she enjoys being a coach and is thankful to be back in Texas as a coach.
Before coaching at LCU, she was a coach at Ashland University in Ohio. Daniel Cordes said she and her husband decided to move back home, so they could be closer to her family before they started their own family.
Without any clue of what jobs they would have, they made the move, she said, and she took this opportunity to become a personal trainer.
Reflecting on her time in college, Daniel Cordes said it was a special experience for her to transition from being a high school athlete at Monterey High School to a college athlete at Tech.
She said her favorite moment was when she won her first national championship. Her record time for the 5,000-meter race had been 17 minutes, and there were fast competitors.
She ran hard, hoping to beat her personal record. At the race, she said she finished at 16 minutes and 15 seconds, which ended up being the nation's fastest at the time. This was a life-changing moment for her, realizing what she was capable of.
Growing up in Lubbock, she said she was always a big Tech fan.
"It seemed so big to me," Daniel Cordes said. "It was always an exciting place to be when we would go to the football games and basketball games. Being able to become a part of that was amazing. I didn't dream of being able to be an athlete there. Being able to put on the Tech uniform and represent them, I always thought was awesome. When you're a fan of something your whole life, it almost seems untouchable, and it seems like something you're able to watch from aside, but not be a part of."
She said she believes a lot of the experience was affected by the fact that she was from Lubbock. She felt loved and appreciated by local residents, and she believes the experience would not have been the same otherwise.
People in Lubbock get behind Tech students, she said, but they also support local athletes.
"I think if I would have gone somewhere else, I wouldn't have that," Daniel Cordes said. "If I went to a restaurant, the grocery store, church, people would come up to me, ask what I'm doing, tell me they're watching and following me. Little kids would come up, telling me they want to run track. I have a hard time believing it would have been that same way had I been somewhere else or if I had gone to another university."
She said the best advice she can give to anyone is to find something that makes life worth living.
"Find something that brings you joy," Daniel Cordes said. "If you don't have that thing that helps you get out of the bed in the morning, it's hard. Even if it's something small. It doesn't have to be being the best at something. It could be going to your favorite coffee shop or helping other people. Something that gets you excited. I think if you have that, then everything else will fall into place."

One of the more than touristy physical exercise programs these days is the LA Weight Loss Center. If you'd close to to know much around the program, read on.
The LA Weight Loss Center is a center-based diet system of rules that focuses on providing individualised programs and campaign for their clients. The midway is franchised to countries overall.
People who are curious in forthcoming in for a programme must firstborn go to the center nearest them for an assessment. During the judgment the user is weighed and is specified a intend that's fit for their requirements. The program is personalized to meet a unquestionable portion of proteins, vegetables, dairy and fruits in the person's diet. The foods recommended on the system are confidently found at any regional mart or nutrient supply. The LA Weight Loss Center is bigheaded of the certainty that their programme doesn't regard hungriness diets and even allows its followers to eat at restaurants and double-quick foods. A big mechanism of the programme is the inclusion of a soy-protein bar named LA Lites. One consumer same the bar's taste sensation is equivalent to a undemanding brown bar.
The system of rules claims that their clients have squandered their weight 2 to 3 present faster than those victimisation some other programs, piece galore of their clients have claimed large weight loss in a fugitive continuance of case. Testimonials recovered on the Internet would output stories of clients who squandered 23 to an overwhelming 90 pounds time on the system.
The programs has its proportion of supporters and detractors. Most of those who buttress the business rave going on for the information that they were able to loss weight piece ingestion whatsoever of their popular foods.
On the some other hand, quite a lot of would reproach it for its sum. Some programs' costs inventory from $219 to $1,000 . Even when the program claims that it provides "free" consultations, a few society claimed that they were asked to pay for a "sign-up fee" cost accounting hundreds and for some, thousands of dollars.

Wimbledon cancelled for the first time since 1945
London: The 2020 edition of the Wimbledon Championships has been officially cancelled, organisers All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC) announced on Wednesday. The AELTC said that instead, the Wimbledon will now be held from June 28 to July 11, 2021.
The Wimbledon thus joins a long list of major sports events that have been cancelled
It marks the first time since 1945 — during the Second World War — that the Championships won't take place in a tennis season and the first time it has been cancelled in the Open era.
"It is with great regret that the Main Board of the All England Club (AELTC) and the Committee of Management of The Championships have today decided that The Championships 2020 will be cancelled due to public health concerns linked to the coronavirus epidemic. The 134th Championships will instead be staged from 28 June to 11 July 2021," the AELTC said in its statement.
It also said that it has taken into account the impact of the cancellation on "those who rely on The Championships -– including the players and the tennis community in Britain and around the world," and are developing plans to support those groups. "This also applies to our loyal staff, to whom we take our responsibility very seriously," said the AELTC.
Earlier, it was announced by the French Tennis Federation that the French Open will be held from September 20 to October 4. However, that remains uncertain with a number of players pointing out the difficulty of playing a clay court Grand Slam in the middle of the hard court season and because of the spread of the coronavirus pandemic showing no signs of stemming in most parts of the world.
The Wimbledon thus joins a long list of major sports events that have been cancelled or postponed due to the pandemic which includes the 2020 Tokyo Olympics which will now be held from July 23 to August 8, 2021. The pandemic has claimed nearly 45,000 lives in the world so far and the UK has reported almost 30,000 cases as on April 1.

Pastor: Popular children's show is turning kids gay
Daniel-Erickson-Hull is convinced the long-cancelled children's program Rainbow subversively pushed the homosexual agenda on the children.
By LGBTQ Nation Monday, December 14, 2015
A scene from Rainbow.Photo:
A British pastor claims that a long-cancelled UK children's TV show Rainbow is turning children into homosexuals.
Daniel-Erickson-Hull is a preacher from Bristol at the End Times News Ministry.
He says the show was nothing but propaganda that intended to "homosexualize all children."
Rainbow — which featured characters like Bungle, Zippy, and George — aired on ITV from 1972 to 1992.
Over 1,000 episodes were produced.
Erickson-Hull is particularly obsessed with the show's opening credits, which feature a cartoon rainbow opening a book.
He believes it represents the gay movement "infiltrating The Bible."
The pastor believes that same-sex marriage is an "abomination" and homosexuality is simply "hideous."
It's not the first time he's been in the news, either.
His sister Anna Erickson-Hull wrote a homophobic tirade after her daughter brought home a badge promoting LGBTQ awareness about homophobic bullying.
"You cannot enforce this filth on children," he said at the time. "We are living in the last days."

Yet from 1842 until the 1890s, marijuana, generally called Cannabis Indica or Indian Hemp extractums, was one of the three items (after alcohol and opium) most used in patent and prescription drugs (in massive* doses, usually by oral ingestion).
* Doses given during the 19th Century to American infants, children, youth, adults, women in childbirth, and senior citizens, in one day, were, in many cases, equal to what a current moderate-to-heavy American marijuana user probably consumes in a month or two, using U.S. government's 1983 guidelines for comparison.
Some temperance organizations even suggested "hasheesh" as a substitute for (wife beating) "Demon" alcohol.
Until, that is, W.B. O'Shaugnessy, a 30 year old British physician serving in India's Bengal* province, watched Indian doctors use different hemp extracts successfully to treat all types of illness and disease then untreatable in the West, including tetanus.
* "Bengal" means "Bhang Land," literally Cannabis Land.
O'Shaugnessy then did an enormous (and the first Western) study,* in 1839, and published a 40-page paper on the uses of cannabis medicines. At the same time, a French doctor named Roche was making the same rediscovery of hemp in Middle Eastern medicines.
* O'Shaugnessy used patients, animals, and himself for his research and experiments. Incidentally, O'Shaugnessy went on to become a millionaire and was knighted by Queen Victoria for building India's first telegraph system in the 1850s.
Papers written by first-time American users (novices) and doctors using, treating, or experimenting with cannabis, told straight forward accounts of its usually euphoric, and sometimes disphoric, mind- and time-expanding properties for both child and adult, as well as hilarity and increased appetites, especially the first few times they tried it.
Interestingly, during this whole period of time (1840s to 1930s) Lilly, Squibb, Parke Davis, Smith Brothers, Tildens, etc., had no effective way to prolong its very short shelf life and had great difficulty standardizing dosages.
* Reprinted from the transcripts of the 15th annual meeting of the Ohio State Medical Society, at White Sulphur Springs, Ohio, June 12-14, 1860, pg. 75-100.
By the 1890s, some of the most popular American marriage guides recommend cannabis as an aphrodisiac of extraordinary powers—no one ever suggested a prohibition law against cannabis. And while there was talk of an alcohol prohibition law, a number of women's temperance organizations even suggested "hasheesh" as a substitute for "demon" alcohol, which they said led to wife beating.

Gods and Goo at Reason (and DC Comics)
My cover article about nanotech, which as the title says, will turn us into "Neither Gods Nor Goo" anytime in the foreseeable future, is now up on Reason magazine's website (and is in their March print issue, as noted before), almost exactly one year after the junket to Scotland that forms part of the story — but I get around to everything eventually. (I still owe the masses a serious article on evolutionary psychology, I realize.)
As it happens, at precisely the time online readers are seeing my thoughts on nanobots and trying to transform ourselves into gods, DC Comics is depicting a war between nanobots and gods (as I have learned online, not by making any actual purchases, mind you, having kept pretty much clean for over a year now, aside from that stack of trade paperbacks I reviewed on this site over the summer). You see, starting in May, my favorite comics writer, Grant Morrison, is doing a seven-issue miniseries called Final Crisis in which new, deadlier gods take over the world and do terrible things to its superheroes, or something like that.
And since Morrison is the kind of do-things-my-own-way guy who needs the fictional playing field made clean before he romps insanely all over it, DC is preceding his miniseries with a (now nearly-finished) year-long Countdown to Final Crisis weekly series in which nanobots destroy those parts of the Earth — and the pagan and Jack Kirby-created heavens — that don't suit Morrison's narrative purposes. So, the "Fourth World" of DC Comics "New Gods" characters gets blown up (after four decades of use) by another Kirby character, the sentient machine Brother Eye, who commands swarms of nanobots and OMAC cyborgs, using them to bring about the long-prophecied "Great Disaster," to be followed immediately by the aforementioned "Final Crisis," so it's a rough time for Superman and his pals (not to mention for three versions of the Legion of Super-Heroes, Anthro the First Boy, Kamandi the Last Boy, and even, Morrison promises, Streaky the Super-Cat like you've never seen him before).
On the bright side, since the title of this blog entry refers to my nanotech article, the current plotline in DC Comics, and by poetic resonance to the first book written by the late William F. Buckley, I have achieved a personal trifecta of scientific, genre-fiction, and political allusion that helps me feel there is a beautiful underlying orderliness to life.
And speaking of such things, since I mentioned in a prior entry during this nearly-ended "Month Without God" on the blog that I think religious people tend to be less imaginative than the non-religious, I may as well go ahead and say more explicitly that I think if you grow up reading sci-fi and comics, in which things like nanobots fighting New Gods happen every day, you're less likely to be struck dumb (and I do mean dumb) by some ostensibly mind-blowing old goatherd's tale about a shrub catching on fire, a donkey talking, or a carpenter turning water into wine. Big deal. Omnipotence gets you that? I think Jack Kirby could have come up with some cooler things to do with omnipotence. The desert-dwelling yokels who fabricated the stories in the Bible, on the other hand, weren't quite so inspired.
(And let me add that May's Final Crisis miniseries starts in the same month that, as I've noted before, brings Iron Man [UPDATE 2/29/08: New trailer!], Speed Racer, Prince Caspian, and Indiana Jones to the big screen, so there's unavoidable nerdery ahead. Alas, we have to wait until May 2009 for the Wolverine movie, though, and I can only hope until then that in recounting Wolverine's origin, they avoid the stupidest thing about Wolverine's past in the comics: very long-lived, he has served, in chronological order, as part of CIA's Team X, Weapon Plus's secretive Weapon X project, and Prof. Charles Xavier's X-Men — yet we're supposed to believe those three different X's are all pure coincidence. That's retarded — one of those sadly premodern cases of storytellers liking some trope so much they just keep coming back to it with no concern for realism — like having some knight encounter a kidnapped princess in every single stinking town he rides through. Feh.)
And for those nerdy enough to have made it this far, I reward you with an amusing photo (pointed out to me by Reid Mihalko) of what it would be like if Spider-Man operated in Wyoming and an even more entertaining photo of what it would look like if Wonder Woman's costume were made out of body paint (pointed out to me by Caryn Solly, who happens to be a friend of Reid, so you see a pattern or two emerging here).
By the way, one complaint about (what I've read about) the Countdown to Final Crisis comic book: it features one third of Triplicate Girl (the member of the Legion of Super-Heroes who can split into three separate but identical people), calling herself Una during her solo adventures. So her power is: being one person. I also have that superpower.
I also read that Karate Kid has spurned her romantic advances during this series. And if I were being pursued by only one of a woman who normally had the power to be three women at the same time, I too might feel a bit less than enthused.

Anna Pavitt Boudin
Anna PavittBoudin
Anna Pavitt Boudin defied expectations throughout her career, both as one of the first women dentists in America and as the founder and president of the Women's American ORT, one of the largest Jewish women's organizations in America. At a time when women were excluded from dentistry because they were thought too weak for the job, Boudin was one of eight women in her 1907 graduating class of 39 students at Columbia. She both ran her own private practice and established the dental clinic at the New York Infirmary in 1924, retiring to become the Infirmary's dentist emeritus in 1956. In 1922 her husband, Louis Boudin, a leftist labor lawyer, helped found the American ORT Foundation, part of the international organization that offered agricultural and industrial vocational training to Jews to help them find employment. In 1927 Anna Boudin joined several ORT Federation wives to create the Women's American ORT and became the founding president. The organization did fundraising for ORT, established trade schools for Jews both in the US and abroad, and promoted health care. Even after retiring as president, Boudin remained active in the executive committee and advisory board until weeks before her death.

Ran in The Weaponeer on 1 April 1999
Naval Weapons Test Squadron provides direct support to combat operations
By Keith Becker
NWTSCL Public Affairs Officer
China Lake, CA-Personnel in the Naval Weapons Test Squadron China Lake play an important role supporting our troops deployed around the globe.
Often, NWTSCL and other NAWCWD aircrew and engineers are requested to travel to multiple combat theaters around the world and troubleshoot problems being experienced with various weapon systems or assist in accelerated deployment of those systems. Most of these requests involve very little advance notice and response time.
During the last several months, several of these events occurred, but two were of vital importance to our combat operations.
USS Carl Vinson
In response to an urgent fleet request from the USS Carl Vinson battle group in the Persian Gulf, LCdr. Mike Murphy, of NWTSCL, was tasked to assist in accelerating the deployment of baseline Joint Standoff Weapons (JSOW) to be used against Iraqi missile sites. To accomplish this task, Murphy accompanied the weapons to the Persian Gulf where he coordinated refresher training for shipboard ordnancemen; aircrew refresher training and hands-on cockpit procedural review; mission planning review and system software verification; coordination of pilot familiarization flights for 16 aircrew members; software interoperability troubleshooting; and mission planning and technical support for aircrew on initial operational flights.
Murphy's efforts culminated in fleet operators receiving ahead of schedule, a production weapon system that greatly increased their operational lethality, flexibility and survivability. This new capability has already dramatically altered their strike planning, increasing air wing potency, while substantially decreasing external support requirements. Even more significant is the fact that on the morning of Jan. 25, three JSOW baseline weapons were successfully deployed against an Iraqi missile site.
USS Enterprise
Recently, a message came in from the USS Enterprise that it needed technical assistance with the GBU-24, a laser guided bomb being used against specific targets in the Persian Gulf.
The ship was participating in Operation Desert Fox in response to Iraq's noncompliance with United Nations resolutions. It reported that not all of the GBU-24B/B laser guided bombs that had been deployed reached their targets. After performing a careful review of tactics, loading and employment parameters, the root cause of failures for each of the attacks was unable to be determined, and a request for technical assistance was sent to NAWCWD.
In response, Capt. Mike Dukes, USMC and project officer in the NWTSCL, and other personnel from VX-9 and the China Lake Tactical Weapons Office were assigned to provide a solution.
Their first action was to review the available data and assemble a tiger team to proceed aboard ship to conduct a more detailed investigation of the individual attacks. The team consisted of Dukes, Lt. Jeff Lewis, from VX-9, and Gary Ozunas and Gunars Svika from the Tactical Weapons Office at China Lake.
The goals of this team were to assess the root cause of the weapon system failures; provide recommendations on future employment of GBU-24 to increase the probability of achieving desired target damage; disseminate lessons learned to all USN and USMC aviation units employing GBU-24; and determine if weapon system support improvements were warranted to improve the effectiveness of GBU-24 employed from USN and USMC platforms.
Prior to departing, the team reviewed weapon performance data, FLIR performance data for AN/AAS-38 and LATIRN pods, the Operational Tactics Guide and F/A-18 software manuals for accuracy and content. The team intended to assess the effectiveness of each component once it was put aboard the ship and conduct weapon release simulations to support on-site training of aircrew.
Upon arriving aboard Enterprise, they met with the aircrew, ordnance officers and the ship's ordnance division to review assembly procedures and employment of each weapon. They also had an opportunity to inspect two fully-assembled GBU-24s. After careful consideration of the data available, several recommendations were made in the areas of envelopes, auto release of the weapon and laser energy, which corrected the immediate problems.
The GBU-24 team also recommended additional actions be taken to prevent future employment failures. Among the recommendations were functionality and reliability testing of inventories and additional training of F/A-18 and F-14 aircrew.

Constantin Chilowski, né le  à Riazan en Russie et mort le  à Manhattan, est un scientifique français, co-inventeur avec Paul Langevin du principe du sonar en 1917.

Biographie
Formé par Pierre et Jacques Curie en compagnie de Paul Langevin, il entame, avec ce dernier et l'apport du physicien canadien Robert William Boyle, des recherches sur le sonar. L'utilisation des ultrasons est suggérée dès 1917, mais les travaux de recherche pour la mise au point d'un hydrophone susceptible de détecter des icebergs avaient débuté en 1915.

Durant la guerre de 1914, Constantin Chilowski cherche à influencer l'écoulement de l'air autour d'un obus en mouvement par un jet sortant  perpendiculairement à l'axe de l'obus, dans le but de « diminuer la résistance que  l'air oppose aux projectiles en les munissant à l'avant d'une sorte de bec qui crache transversalement, par une ouverture circulaire, une nappe de feu ». Cette idée fut reprise par le colonel Lafay qui a effectué plusieurs essais pour  étudier cet effet. Pour commencer il remplace les lames de vapeurs enflammées par de l'acétylène à une température ordinaire, et parvient ainsi à mieux étudier les écoulements près de l'obus. Il arrive à l'idée de placer la paroi convexe en  prolongement de la paroi de la fente d'où sort le jet. Il met donc un tube qui  dépasse la pointe de l'obus de la distance d, et ferme l'extrémité avant du tube  pour ainsi avoir une fente circulaire réglable de laquelle le gaz sort perpendiculairement à l'axe. Pour une vitesse de vent de 30 m/s, une lame d'acétylène caractérisée par une  épaisseur de 0,3 mm, et enfin une surpression de 0,5 bar, M. Lafay a obtenu les  résultats suivant regroupés, et pour différentes valeurs de d(mm) :

 35 mm, augmentation de la résistance de 1/10 ;
 15 mm, même effet, mais l'augmentation de la poussée est plus faible ;
 >5 mm, l'effet diminue d'intensité ;
 5 mm, obtention d'une action propulsive très nette !
 < 5 mm, l'action augmente d'intensité !

Les expériences sont reprises à partir de 1932 par Henri Coandă qui propose une  paroi convexe à facettes planes, ainsi que de nombreuses applications pratiques  de la déviation du jet issu une fente étroite.

You had me at "flaky pastry." Lovely.
Elliot, sticky buns, time travel... Damn, your mind is an interesting place to visit.
Trying to outrun Elliot Nesh? Is that even possible? I'm sure you and 'Difficult will find a way.
hmmm... i wonder if maybe i could borrow Elliot's glasses?
Hey Jayne! It's less fun to live in, but always eventful.
Hey Boom Boom! All things are possible, but we don't need to outrun him, just get there first. In fact, we need him to catch up eventually. Intrigued?
Oh I wish I had not seen that picture this early on a Monday. Now I'm hungry again. Who am I kidding? I'm always hungry for sweets.
I love a sleepy elephant!!
What are you two up to? The Dickens again?
Hey Joshua! Sorry man, it's my job.
Hey Kato! He did look adorable, even in the trenchcoat. The snoring, however, made me glad we weren't sharing a room overnight.
And here I thought I was the only one who knew about elephant's and sticky buns.
Highly enjoyable post, despite my now-craving for a pastry.
"If our paydays mark the passage of each month, and the church bells on Sunday morning cleave one week from the next*, then it is our meals that punctuate our days."
Hey Pearl! Clearly you've spent time with them! I'm delighted you enjoyed it - the craving is your penance, ma'm'selle!
Hey Ms. Fin! Sorry, I seem to be causing rumbling tummies all over. Thanks for the kind thought, tho I promise I'm just brainfarting most of the time.
When's the next bit old man?

Fan on life support after being attacked outside Dodger Stadium
File photo - A 47-year-old man was hospitalized in serious condition after being struck during an argument that turned violent outside Dodger Stadium. (Getty Images)
LOS ANGELES (AP) - A 47-year-old man was hospitalized in serious condition after being struck during an argument that turned violent outside Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles police said.
The victim was punched once by another man and fell to the ground in a parking lot following Friday night's marathon six-hour game against the Arizona Diamondbacks, said Officer Rosario Cervantes.
Christel Reyna said her husband, Rafael Reyna, sustained a skull fracture and is on life support following the encounter early Saturday morning.
Reyna said she was on the phone with her husband as he was leaving the stadium and heard a woman and a man arguing with him. She said she heard a crack and then her husband started moaning.
Police said they are investigating the encounter as an assault. No arrests have been made.
The suspect may have driven off in a white SUV, possibly a Toyota 4Runner, according to investigators.
The Dodgers released a statement saying the team was cooperating with police.
The incident recalled an attack on opening day at Dodger Stadium on March 31, 2011, which left fan Bryan Stow permanently disabled. Two men, Louie Sanchez and Marvin Norwood, ultimately pleaded guilty to beating Stow and were sent to federal prison. They were also ordered to pay a share of the $18 million judgment against the Dodgers.
The 2011 beating drew national attention and led to increased security at the stadium.

96) Explain the concept of culture. Why is it important to avoid ethnocentricity and gain cultural literacy? Answer: Culture is the set of values, beliefs, rules, and institutions held by a specific group of people. Individuals who are ethnocentric believe their culture is superior to other cultures. It is important to avoid ethnocentricity because it can seriously undermine international business projects. It causes people to view other cultures in terms of their own and, therefore, disregard the beneficial characteristics of other cultures. Cultural literacy, on the other hand, involves acquiring detailed knowledge about a culture to function effectively within it. Cultural literacy improves a person's ability to manage employees, market products, and conduct negotiations in other countries. The culturally literate manager who compensates for local needs and desires brings his or her company closer to customers and improves the firm's competitiveness.

What is reverse brain drain? Answer: Brain drain is the departure of highly educated people from one profession, geographic region, or nation to another. Brain drain can negatively affect an economy if individuals needed for economic development, such as science and technology professionals, move elsewhere. Many countries in Eastern Europe experienced high levels of brain drain early in their transition to market economies. Economists, engineers, scientists, and researchers in all fields fled westward to escape poverty. But as these nations continue their long march away from communism, some are luring professionals back to their homelands–a process known as reverse brain drain.

Answer: A lingua franca is a third or "link" language understood by two parties who speak different native languages. The original lingua franca arose to support ancient trading activities and contained a mixture of Italian and French, along with Arabic, Greek, and Turkish. Multinational corporations sometimes choose a lingua franca for official internal communications because they operate in many nations, each with its own language. Although only 5 percent of the world's population speaks English as a first language, it is the most common lingua franca in international business, followed closely by French and Spanish.

My approach to Milling is from Archaeology/History and I have recently been excavating a 17-19th century water & steam mill which is being written up. A friend and I are also writing up the history of mills and milling in Jersey.
We have many references in the 15th & 16th centuries to 'malt and fulling mills' which were legally distinct from wheat mills. We have three walls of a gutted malt and fulling mill building which can not be more than about 15 feet x 10 feet (5m x 3m).
The fulling side presumably used fulling stocks but what would the 'malt' side have used? Would it have been trip hammers or grind stones?
Any thoughts - or indeed surviving examples?
Malt mills were essentially the same as grist mills, technically speaking. Grain was malted, ie allowed to germinate, then was crushed between a pair of millstones before then being mashed to produce beer. Obviously there was no need for any sifting after the milling process. Although grain millstones could be used to crush malted grain, usually a separate mill was used because of all the work needed to clean the stones after malting work before they could be used for grinding flour. It is also possible that the millstones for malt mills had properties specifically chosen for that type of work.
Medievalists have in the past classified malt mills as industrial mills as opposed to grain mills. This swells the number of industrial mills in medieval times and allows medievalists to claim there was an industrial revolution in the medieval age (IRMA). They are sometimes called beer mills.
I've scaled off the Digimap and the building is more like 20' x 25' probably with 18" thick walls, the wheel in the middle of one of the shorter sides. My main concern is whether there was enough room for rotating stones and stocks off the same mill drive and how it would work in a confined space.
In the latest issue of 'International Molinology' No 79 Dec 2009 there is an intriguing reference to a 'Porridge Mill' - fig 4 page 2 in the Report on the Mill Tour to the Czech Republic. The picture shows a barley stamp driven by cams at Holosovice watermill - could our malt mills have been similar with a stamp driven by cams instead of grinding stones? - or would this not work for the brewing process?
Sorry for the delay in response. In the Czech mill the barley was hammered and crushed then eaten. To make beer the barley is allowed to germinate before processing and then lightly ground to open up the grain to maximise the surface area - this is a different process to hammering.
As far as I am aware all so-called beer mills, certainly in the UK, had a pair of horizointal millstones.
Many thanks. For these mills to have been both malt and fulling there must have been a neat method of disconnecting one system and connecting the other!
Although the flour mills in the Island had French burr stones we have no idea what stones may have been used in the malt mills - presumably they may have been somewhat smaller - I'll have to visit with a geologist!
I have been doing research on 18th century chocolate mills, and have found a lot of cross-over information on other industries because the machinery was used in a number of industries. As for malt mills they used traditional millstones that they would have used in English corn mills. They furrows in a malt mill would have the master furrow, and only a secondary furrow, the journeyman furrow. The stones might be a bit smaller in diameter, and they would have ran them farther apart than for grinding corn. So when they are grinding malt they are often grinding the sprouted grain.
They also used edge runners, wooden rollers, French millstone material rollers, and then iron rollers. The English and German malt houses or kilns would have been similar to those used for roasting cocoa beans.
As for fulling mills they used fuller's earth and or horse urine with the pounding stocks in the process of softening (beating out the taylor) the newly woven cloth. It is just that some industries had a certain air about them. Bone mills ground the bones of dead animals. So a bone mill would be away from a flour mill to keep the maggots out of the flour. Washington Flour or Wilkins-Rogers that used to be in Georgetown was located next to a rendering plant that made glue from horse and cow hoofs. They had a large sign painted on the building that said, "The smell you smell does not emanate from this Facility!"
I thought I would join TIMS having seen your post on Jersey Mills. I was the project architect working on Gigoulande Mill in St Peter's Valley Jersey in about 1995 before the funding ceased. We amassed quite an amount of historical information about this mill but my memory is not brilliant not do I work any longer for the practice involved, though still have contact with it. If I can answer any questions do contact me. The renovation of the mill was commissioned by the Crown in the person of Philip Baillache (sorry if I have forgotten the spelling) who was passionate about the project. It was intended that we renovate the mill building as a visitor centre and the miller's house as a dwelling. The mill walls were stabilised as was the wheel end of the launder. Tiles were bought for the roof and the mill stream culverted. This mill was most unusual as it had two wheels. It failed basically due to cheap grain being imported from the USA in the 19th C.
I am at present writing a short article about a particular corn/fulling mill in W Yorkshire. I would like to have some good information on malt milling and maltsters - how does the process and equipment differ from oat and corn grinding and did anglo saxons have mills?
I well remember the project at Gigoulande Mill - the archaeology was overseen by Warwick Rodwell and I did some of the documentary research. The site is now (at least last time I looked) overgrown. Next door to Gigoulande are the last remains of a Malt / Fulling mill in Jersey - just three walls (and a new too small water wheel).
Malt / Fulling in Jersey appears to have been done separately form corn / wheat milling and I have yet to work out how they could have ground malt in the same small building in which they had fulling hammers!
You may find "Wind, Water, Work: Ancient And Medieval Milling Technology" by Adam Lucas (2006) of interest (not read it all myself yet).
What do others think of this work?

DHL, the world's leading express and logistics company and Official Logistics Partner of Formula 1, announced Mark Webber as the winner of the DHL Fastest Lap Award for 2011 at a special handover ceremony during the final Grand Prix of 2011 – the Formula 1 Grande Prêmio Petrobras do Brasil on November 25. Red Bull driver Webber won the award with one race of the season still remaining, at the 2011 Formula 1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. His best time of 1:42.612, set with just 4 laps remaining in the race, allowed him to establish an unassailable lead (six fastest laps to three) over Abu Dhabi Grand Prix winner Lewis Hamilton and his own Red Bull teammate, 2011 FIA Formula One World Champion Sebastian Vettel.
This is the first time that Webber has won the award, having finished runner-up in 2009. The Red Bull Racing-Renault team has already enjoyed a clean sweep of both major honors in the 2011 FIA Formula One World Championship with Sebastian Vettel winning the Drivers' Championship and the team winning the Constructors' Championship.
The DHL Fastest Lap Award represents speed and excellence
The award was handed over by Joakim Thrane, Country Manager, DHL Express Brazil, and TV presenter and former Formula 1 driver Christian Danner, at a special handover ceremony in Sao Paolo on the eve of the Brazilian Grand Prix. Joakim Thrane said "The DHL Fastest Lap Award represents speed and excellence, two values which have a strong resonance with DHL. Mark Webber is a true international specialist, delivering speed across the globe. His achievement in winning the award also shows that no team can be successful without the hard work and commitment of its individual team members, which is very important to us as the international specialists. We'd like to thank Mark for his role in making Formula 1 such an exciting spectacle in 2011 and congratulate him on winning the DHL Fastest Lap Award for 2011."
The rules for winning the DHL Fastest Lap Award are very simple. One point is awarded to the driver who records the fastest lap in every Grand Prix race. The driver with the most points at the end of the season wins the award. Since its inauguration in 2007, the award has been won by Kimi Raikkonen (twice), Sebastian Vettel and Fernando Alonso. Only one driver, Kimi Raikkonen in 2007, has secured both first place in the Drivers' Championship and the DHL Fastest Lap Award.
