F1 Chinese Grand Prix – Friday press conference
Dave GREENWOOD: A similar situation to Toni for us, a late start to the year, which is not what we wanted. Again, we’re towards the back end, which is fairly obvious, and we’re just working hard to catch up to the guys in front. I think there’s a fairly big gap between us and the front, there’s no disputing that, but our main job is to close that gap and we’ve already seen from last race to this we’ve closed that slightly and we’ve just got to keep going like that.James ALLISON: I think the first couple of races would suggest we’re Q3 material. I would hope that we’re towards the front of Q3 but, as everyone will say, it’s very tight this year, the gaps in the grid are very small and the tiniest error makes a lot of grid places at the moment.
Paddy LOWE: We’re obviously over the moon to have had the qualifying results we’ve had in the first two races, front row in both races. That’s what you dream of really, with all the work you do on a new car that starts early the year before. It’s a great result for the whole team. A bit less satisfied with what we’ve delivered from the races but in terms of overall performance – very pleased.

In reporting last week on Ocean City government’s introduction of its 2012/13 proposed budget, the paper’s story got the tax credit aspect of it wrong.
Rather than Ocean City’s tax credit beneficiaries being protected from a property tax increase in 2012, as the story said, it is the other way around. Many resident homeowners will pay significantly more in the coming year. How much more will depend on the tax rate the City Council adopts.
The story appeared under reporter Zach Hoopes’ byline, but it was not he who committed the error. The person who edited his story made the mistake. Mea culpa is all that can be said.
The units, each producing 12.5kW of heating and 5.5kW of electricity, are supplemented by a 750-litre buffer vessel and two exhaust flue gas condensers to
