As the series celebrates its 50th ever race on Sunday afternoon, championship defender Germany take on a new driver in Michael Ammermller while Switzerland demonstrate the growing role of women in motorsport by naming Rahel Frey as its rookie for the weekend. When she takes to the track on Friday, the 21-year-old will become the fifth female to drive an A1GP car during a race weekend. Home nation Malaysia's Alex Yoong is the most experienced driver in A1GP and, despite a tough start to the season, the 31-year-old from Kuala Lumpur remains upbeat about his team's chances at his home race. Malaysian rookie Aaron Lim, who knows the Sepang circuit well, will get his first taste of his home circuit in an A1GP car when he takes to the track this weekend. Current championship leader New Zealand will have its sights firmly set on extending its one-point advantage over South Africa while Oliver Jarvis will be aiming to keep Great Britain, currently lying third, in title contention.

All present or accounted for, time to begin
The other teams with a losing record in one-run games last year were the Marlins, Astros, Pirates, Cardinals, Padres, and Giants. Not great company. For a full list, go here . But why should we expect more of the same this year? Last year the problem was starting pitching and the bullpen, though 3rd in the league, had Wickman for most of the year. The Braves have addressed the pitching needs and the bullpen is more solid. As for the offense, I think one thing that might help is not having Andruw in the lineup anymore. He hit .218 in 97 close & late plate appearances last year, including 22 strikeouts. The Braves as a team hit .257 in close & late situations. And nobody would think that the Braves are "over-relying" on Hampton this year. .

Kaylors’ 2007 renovation rearranges rooms but keeps home’s cozy ...
Although plans had been made in 2005 to sell the East Brainerd home that had been in her family nearly 60 years, Beth Kaylor felt she couldn't let it go. Four generations of her family had lived in the cozy rock and Masonite home, so she and her husband, Kendall, decided to buy it from her aunt, renovate it and move there from Ashwood, Mrs. Kaylor said of the home at the corner of East Brainerd and Fuller roads. Structurally, the now 2,200-square-foot house is much the same as when her grandparents lived there, but every room without plumbing has a different function. The Kaylors turned the 1970s living room added by her grandparents, Eugene and Argie Wilson, into their master bedroom. The room their grandparents used as a den became their living room.
