A big double thumbs up today to Alessandro Zanardi, better known to most American racing fans as Alex. Zanardi won a gold medal in the hand cycling time trial at the Paralympic games in London today. Since losing both legs and very nearly his life in a 2001 crash, Zanardi came back to win races in the World Touring Car Championship in a BMW with hand controls and now a gold medal.
Zanardi is a prime example of living life to the fullest no matter what it throws back at you.
This Race Car Driver Went From Near Death To Paralympic Gold
Just after September 11, 2001, the CART racing series held what was pretty much the first international sporting event after the terrorist attacks at the Lausitzring Circuit in Germany.

Wow! The Apple-Samsung jury foreman clearly lead his colleagues down the wrong path.
In a Q&A with Gizmodo http://gizmodo.com/apple-vs-samsung/ readers yesterday, Velvin Hogan was asked:
Demon-Xanth: Did you have the opportunity to ask “Is this something that should be patentable?” during the trial?
Velvin Hogan:@Demon-Xanth– No, however it was not the function of this jury to ask that. We were bound to use the law as it is today. The patents were issued the judge instructed us not to second guess the current patent system.
Hogan clearly misunderstood since for each patent in question the jury was asked to decide if it was valid. Determining if a patent is valid is NOT the same as determining if the law is valid. I'm not hopefully that Judge Lucy Koh will overturn this verdict, but hopefully if Hogan keeps spouting his mouth off, an appeals court will.

This will probably end up much like the Proview IPAD case with a payout from Apple that makes these guys go away but in the meantime, it may be fun to watch Apple getting all indignant.

Following the earlier video https://plus.google.com/114133424228405038490/posts/GA2LPmC71cL released by +Ford Motor Company on the 1.0-liter EcoBoost-powered Formula Ford racer they bid, there is now more on speedy little car.
The engineers in the dyno lab made some revisions to the calibrations on the three-cylinder engine boosting it from the 123 hp it makes in the Focus up to 202 hp. They then took the car to the Nurburgring where it set a lap time of 7:22 putting it solidly in the running with other high-end street legal machines like the Nissan GT-R, Porsche 911 GT3 and Corvette ZR1

You've gotta love the British Single Vehicle Type Approval system 4
They let you take a pure racing car and slap on some lights, splash guards for the wheels and license plate, then hit the open road. I'd love to take a spin in this machine down some B-roads.

Henry Ford was no altruist by any stretch of the imagination 10
In fact, he was a deeply flawed individual in many respects. However, he was wise enough to recognize that the the dramatically increased productivity enabled by the moving assembly lines that had been introduced in his factories in 1913 meant he could pay his workers better, thus enabling them to spend more so they could buy products like the Model Ts coming from those same factories.
Despite the fact that higher wages would cost him more up front, he realized that filling wallets would ultimately benefit his business in the long run by stimulating demand. If only more of today's executives would recognize that stagnant middle and working class incomes go hand in hand with overall economic malaise we might actually start to make some progress on growing the economy.
