...Motor Sport Council (WMSC) meeting at the Paris headquarters of the International Automobile Federation (FIA), global motorsport's governing body, on Thursday slapped the team with a record $100 million fine over the possession by McLaren's former chief designer of confidential technical data belonging to fierce rival team Ferrari. McLaren was also stripped of its points in this year's constructors' race, effectively handing that title to Ferrari. Still, things could have been worse: McLaren had faced the possibility of being booted out of the drivers' championship for this year and next, but both Hamilton and Alonso are free...
...clear yet what exactly McLaren did wrong. (The WMSC is set to publish its findings Friday.) But it emerged in July that Mike Coughlan, McLaren's now suspended chief designer, had obtained almost 800 pages of secret documents on Ferrari's racecar.

...Modena where he was born.

They are made from cedar at least 750 years old and feature carvings of the Davidsons and their three kids, who are now grown. Bob sees his work for the gifted as akin to the patronage that sustained the artists and inventors of the Renaissance. His view...
...SMKs. Life at the Operation: Military Kids camp is like any other summer program; the kids canoe, have sing-alongs around the campfire, and roast marshmallows. But unlike most camps, there are also evening hikes with night-vision goggles, helicopter rides and even visits from top military officials. Ferrari says talk of war isn't programmed into activities but occurs spontaneously during interaction amongst campers. "It comes out at the cabins at night," she says, "or at the craft center you hear them talk about it: 'Hey, my dad is in Iraq...
