The Gaza Flotilla called the “Freedom Flotilla” is angering Israel officials. The “Gaza Flotilla” is being denounced by Israel which has known and watched the flotilla’s advances since Friday.

The flotilla is led by the Free Gaza Movement and Insani Yardim Vakfi, a Thurkish group. The boats have been getting into place over the last 10 days and encompass vessels from various countries, tells the flotilla’s organizers to local news.

Israel has said in advance of last Friday’s formations that it will block the vessels from reaching Gaza and told it to dock at its port in Ashod.

Freedom Flotilla says in a statement to local news the following:

“[F]or over four years, Israel has subjected the civilian population of Gaza to an increasingly severe blockade, resulting in a man-made humanitarian catastrophe of epic proportions.”

The group seeks to stop the “illegal” Israeli blockade “in non-violent direct action.”

PHOTO! Here is a picture of Indy racing’s Ana Beatriz today. Ana Beatriz’s Indy 500 finish looks like it will be around 20th place, an impressive finish for the 2010 race.

But for racing fans, Ana Beatriz’s name might cause some confusion. While ABC reports of her today as “Ana Beatriz”, as did qualifiers, she usually is referred to as Bia Figueiredo. Her full name is Ana “Bia” Beatriz Caselato Gomes de Figueiredo

Born in 1985 in Brazil, Ana’s name can be confusing at first compared to Brazil’s Ana Beatriz Barros, a top supermodel. Figueiredo earned her first Indy Lights race at Nashville Superspeedway in 2008, the first woman to win the series’ history.

“[It's] a good car with a bad setup. It’s not my fault. The car is not good. Quickly fans booed Patrick. Hours later, Patrick responded to the outrage from fans

“Shoot, I say one confident thing out there — that it’s not me — and everybody boos me. I’m blown away. These people — I mean, I don’t know, maybe they all booed me before. I would think that some of them cheered for me before. I’m not a different driver than I was five years ago.”

Patrick’s comments on the Pagoda video board from that qualifying effort last Saturday have prompted FOX News to report Patrick is “still hearing boos” at Indy.

Patrick told press about car problems plaguing her qualifier Saturday at Indy.

“The car is just totally skating across the track, and there’s no grip. My mechanics took tons of time to make sure it was fast and slick and no drag. It’s there, it’s just that the setup’s not there. I feel bad for them because it’s a good car,” said Patrick “The GoDaddy car deserves to be higher up than this. It’s better than this. It’s just not set up right.”

Randy Bernard, the new CEO of IRL, tells press this weekend that IndyCar is happy to have Danica at front and center for its image.

“I’m a firm believer that the credibility of this sport has to start with creating a very credible ladder system. I think we need to take it one step further and create a grassroots program with karting.”
