Kurt Busch to Attempt The Indianapolis-Charlotte Double

Tuesday March 4, 2014
Andretti Autosport announced this morning that Kurt Busch, driver of the No. 41 Haas Automation Chevrolet in the Sprint Cup Series, will attempt the Indianapolis 500 in a fifth entry for the IndyCar Series team. Once the Indianapolis 500 is completed, Busch will fly from Indianapolis to Charlotte, jump in his No. 41 Chevrolet and compete in the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Busch considers the opportunity to do the double as an old-school throwback moment. "This is really to challenge myself within motorsports," Busch said in Andretti Autosport's press release. "Perhaps I am a bit of an old-school racer; a throwback, I guess. I enjoyed the era of drivers racing different cars and testing themselves in other series. It is tough to do now for a variety of factors, but when the opportunity is there, I want to do it. While NASCAR is my home, I have been fortunate to compete in Pro Stock on the NHRA circuit a number of years ago and test a V8 Supercar. This opportunity was a talk with Michael [Andretti] over dinner one night, a "What if," and now it's becoming a reality for me to drive in the Indy 500 with Andretti Autosport. It's literally a dream come true. To go to the famous Brickyard with the iconic Andretti name, it doesn't get much cooler or better than that." Busch will be doing the Indianapolis-Charlotte double as a Memorial Day mission to men and women serving in the U.S. Military via the Armed Forces Foundation. Fans can contribute to the cause by texting AFF to 50555 to donate $10. Busch, who has never raced an IndyCar, passed Rookie Orientation at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway last year during a test session. At the time, Busch was more or less testing the Dallara DW12 for fun. Busch will be the fourth driver to attempt the Indianapolis-Charlotte double. John Andretti was the first driver to attempt it in 1994. After finishing four laps down in tenth in Indianapolis, Andretti crashed and had engine problems in the 600. Robby Gordon has attempted the double five times, most recently in 2004. However, Gordon failed to make it to Charlotte on time and did not start the 600 in 2000 (P.J. Jones started Gordon's No. 13 Ford in that instance). Finally, Tony Stewart has attempted the double twice (most recently in 2001) and is the only driver to ever complete all 1100 miles. Neither of the three drivers has won either leg of the double. The best finishes are Stewart and Gordon's sixth-place finishes at the Indianapolis 500 (although Gordon's came in 2000, the year he didn't make it to Charlotte in time to start the Coca-Cola 600), and Stewart's fourth-place finish in the 2001 Coca-Cola 600.
Danica Patrick, Justin Allgaier Talk About Phoenix Incident

A disappointing start to the year for Danica Patrick won't include continued conflict. Patrick met with rookie Justin Allgaier Sunday, shortly after the Phoenix Cup race after a wreck ruined both drivers' days. Patrick, who was critical of the No. 51 car on the radio, claiming Allgaier was "driving all over the track" appeared receptive to a conversation that quickly settled differences over what will be a long season. "She was just upset because she got involved in the crash that we had,'' said Allgaier to the Motor Racing Network. "She says she's been through this and that she felt like I needed to settle down at that point. I explained my position on why everything happened. I think she understood where I was coming from. It doesn't fix either one of our racecars. It doesn't fix either one of our days. Unfortunately, we were both having pretty decent days.'' Allgaier wound up 30th due to the incident while Patrick was 36th. The incident, which was caused by Allgaier's spin also involved the No. 32 team and Travis Kvapil, which wound up 38th after sustaining heavy damage.
Camping World Close to Extending Title Sponsorship of NCWTS

Tuesday March 4, 2014
Marcus Lemonis, CEO of Camping World, Grand Marshal of Sunday's Sprint Cup race at Phoenix International Raceway, and star of CNBC's "The Profit," made the announcement over the weekend that the retailer is very close to announcing a deal that would continue its title sponsorship of NASCAR's Truck Series. The original agreement with NASCAR is scheduled to conclude after the 2015 season. According to the sanctioning body, no formal contract has been signed, but "the agreement between the two parties has proven to be a beneficial one." "In about a month, we'll be announcing a significant extension to that contract. It's been great for us," said Camping World's Lemonis in a statement. "The NASCAR relationship has worked well for Camping World. When we started, we had 35 stores. Now, we're up to 120 stores. As we travel the country and we meet new customers in stores, they always are very appreciative of our relationship with NASCAR. It's been good." Gaining a long-term commitment from Camping World to sponsor the Truck Series would be a relief for NASCAR, which is set to lose Nationwide Insurance as title sponsor for the NASCAR Nationwide Series at the end of the 2014 season. The sponsorship of the Cup Series by Sprint runs through 2016. The NCWTS is back in action on March 29th at 2:30 PM (ET) when the trucks visit Martinsville Speedway in the Kroger 250, which can be seen on Fox Sports 1. Ratings for the season opener were up 11 percent.
Harvick Takes Win At Phoenix In Second Race With New Team

Tuesday March 4, 2014
Phoenix International Raceway has become Kevin Harvick's home away from home. Sunday Afternoon was no exception as Harvick charged to the front early and would dominate for much of the day, leading 224 of the scheduled 312 laps to record his record fifth win on the one mile oval and his third win in the last four races at Phoenix. Harvick, coming off of a disappointing Speedweeks which was capped by a last lap crash in the Daytona 500 in his debut with Stewart-Haas Racing, set the tone on Saturday by winning both practices while having the best 5 and 10-lap averages in the first practice of the day on Saturday. On Sunday, Harvick and his No. 4 Jimmy John's Chevrolet was nothing short of flawless as he was able to hold Dale Earnhardt, Jr. by .489 seconds after a late race restart to claim his 24th career Sprint Cup Series victory. "Man, this is awesome," Harvick said after his dominant victory on Sunday. "Man, this just solidifies so many things and so many decisions. It's been so much work with all the time and effort that these guys (the crew) have put in—but what a race car." Stewart Haas Racing co-owner Gene Haas shared in Harvick's excitement after the race. "It took long enough," Haas joked. "This is phenomenal. I think there was a lot of skepticism last year about what myself and Tony (Stewart) what we were up to, was there a lot of madness to this. Quite frankly, it's a great team, there's a lot of synergy at the shop, people working together. I don't know what we did, but I think we put together a great organization." Daytona 500 winner Dale Earnhardt, Jr. continued his hot start to the 2014 season. Earnhardt Jr. would finish second on Sunday, marking his seventh consecutive top 10 finish since the end of the 2013 season. Earnhardt Jr. was pleased with the effort after a coast-to-coast whirlwind week after winning his second Daytona 500 and also gave great praise to the efforts of Harvick and the No. 4 team. "I've got to congratulate Kevin. Those guys were two-tenths faster than everyone all weekend in practice. They were just phenomenal," Earnhardt said. "To be able to run with them all day was a big confidence builder for us." Joining Harvick and Earnhardt in the top 5 of The Profit on CNBC 500K were Brad Keselowski with his second consecutive top 3 run of 2014 in third. Keselowski's Team Penske teammate Joey Logano would finish fourth, and Jeff Gordon would come home fifth in his No. 24 Pepsi Max Chevrolet. Jimmie Johnson finished in sixth, followed by Ryan Newman with a nice rebound after Daytona in seventh. Carl Edwards would carry the banner for Roush Fenway Racing by finishing eighth, Kyle Busch was ninth, and Jamie McMurray would finish tenth. A look at the Profit on CNBC 500K by the numbers. There were 14 lead changes among eight different drivers, there were eight cautions for 39 laps which slowed the race pace to 109.229 MPH. Next Sunday, the Sprint Cup Series heads to Sin City and the Las Vegas Motor

Daytona 500 TV Ratings Down
posted by Frontstretch Staff
Wednesday February 26, 2014
What was the longest weather delay in Daytona 500 history turned out to bring NASCAR lower ratings and TV viewership Sunday night than expected. According to a report Monday from FOX Sports, the 56th running of the Daytona 500 airing at 8 PM (ET) posted a 5.6/10 national household rating/share which averaged 9.3 million viewers. That's down 44 percent from last year's 9.9, easily making it the least-watched Daytona 500 of all-time. Due to the six-hour, twenty-two minute rain delay in Daytona, the race was up against the primetime coverage of the Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony from Sochi, Russia on NBC (15.25 million viewers). FOX also reported that 69% of the pre-rain delay viewers of the race, which began at 1 PM (ET) kept tuning in. In comparison, the 2013 Daytona 500 on FOX was the most-watched race in five years, posting a 9.9/22 rating/share, commanding 16.7 million viewers. The Daytona 500 in 2012, the first to ever be run on a Monday and in the primetime slot did a 7.7/13 overnight rating/share which resulted in 13.67 million households viewing the race according to Nielsen TV ratings data.
Earnhardt, Jr. Claims Second Daytona 500 Victory
posted by Justin Tucker
Wednesday February 26, 2014
Ten years is a long time. For Dale Earnhardt, Jr., it felt like an eternity. NASCAR's Most Popular Driver endured many near misses and close calls at the Daytona 500 since his only win in the Great American Race in 2004. Earnhardt had finished second in two of his last three Daytona 500s coming into Sunday's race. He was also riding the tail of a 55-race winless streak, dating back to Michigan in 2012. However nothing would stop Dale Jr. on Sunday, not even a 6 hour and 22 minute rain delay from capturing his second Daytona 500 win. Earnhardt Jr. led a race-high 54 laps on the evening and used some timely drafting help from teammates Jimmie Johnson and, on the final restart, Jeff Gordon to separate from the pack and secure the victory. "Winning this race is the greatest feeling that you could feel in this sport besides accepting the trophy for the championship," said a jubilant Earnhardt after pulling into Victory Lane. "We could fight off battle after battle. We got a little help at the end there from Jeff to get away on the restart. This is amazing. I can't believe this is happening. I never take this for granted, man because it doesn't happen twice, let alone once." Aside from the race itself the big story of the race was the 6 hour and 22 minute red flag, which threatened to move the race to Monday evening (had the race been postponed, FOX Sports' Chris Myers had tweeted that the race would resume at 5:00pm EST). However, Mother Nature would cooperate and would allow the race to be run under different conditions from which they practiced this week. Once the race resumed, the intensity picked up from the changing track conditions. This allowed the pack to race side-by-side and at times 3-wide up to seven rows deep. Joining Earnhardt Jr. in the top 5 for the 2014 Daytona 500 were: Denny Hamlin who closed out a spectacular Speedweeks in second, Brad Keselowski in third, Jeff Gordon in fourth, and Jimmie Johnson who overcome two wrecks leading up to the 500 in fifth. Rounding out the top 10 in the Daytona 500 were Matt Kenseth in sixth, Ricky Stenhouse, Jr. in seventh and Greg Biffle would bring his No. 16 Ford home in eighth. Austin Dillon would come home ninth in his first Cup Series race in the iconic No. 3 for Richard Childress Racing, while Casey Mears would round out the top 10. A couple of major contenders for the Daytona 500 win would see their hopes dashed early on as Martin Truex, Jr. would blow up just 30 laps into the race, relegating him to a 43rd-place finish in his debut for Furniture Row Racing. Crew chief Todd Berrier was already in Nashville for a test session before the race was even over. Kyle Busch, meanwhile would have a pit road violation just before halfway and would spend much of the race battling back from that mistake. Busch would eventually finish 19th after leading 19 laps. Danica Patrick would also be bit by bad luck as she was caught up in a multi-car wreck on lap 145. Patrick would lead her second consecutive Daytona 500, but wouldn't have the finish to show for it finishing 40th. Tony Stewart would encounter a frustrating evening as well, with a fuel pickup problem derailing his quest for his first Daytona 500 win. Stewart would finish 35th. A look at the Daytona 500 by the numbers. There were 42 lead changes among 18 drivers, while seven cautions for 39 laps would slow the race pace to 145.290 MPH. Next week, the Sprint Cup Series heads to the "diamond in the desert," Phoenix International Raceway for The Profit on CNBC 500K. The Green flag is scheduled for 3:15pm EST.

Frontstretch Interviews – Courtesy Mike Neff ELLIOTT SADLER – FINISHED 4th Thoughts on the race? It's definitely a lot different racing than what we're used to. Comfortable with it? Yeah, it's just different. You're worried about what you're doing, but you're also worried about what everyone else is doing and they're not doing more than you're doing. Physically pushing a guy is way better than just riding so you just gotta time it right and push it to the edge. Happy to start the year with a top 5? Yeah. Hell, that was the worst we ran all day, I think. I have no idea how they put the 3 car in front of us on that last restart. I hadn't seen the 3 car hardly all day. When they put us from fifth to sixth, on the outside line, it just really boxed us in. I would have really restarted behind my teammate and given him a good push to the front. Anyways, it is what it is; we'll take it and move on. Looked like you were up front all day. The guys did a good job. We had a fast race car. Great pit stops, just really proud of these guys. The car's in one piece and we can take it to Talladega now. Great job by my guys. A lot of effort came into coming down here to Daytona and giving ourselves a shot to win. We had that chance to be up front and make some things happen. Fifth is not what we want, but we'll take it and move on. Bumping vs Pushing? It's way harder. You don't want to lay on the guy in front of you, so it's tough racing. A lot different than what we're used to, 'cause you gotta go. You gotta drag the brake too 'cause you don't want to hit the guys and you don't want to stay on him. It's a lot harder mentally than what we've done in the past. KYLE BUSCH Car was strong all day. Pushing vs. Bumping, is that harder to do than just getting on somebody and pushing them? Yeah, it is a little bit. When you bump 'em, you jar 'em, it kinda jacks 'em a little bit. It's a little more abrupt, obviously. I thought it was OK there at the end. It was certainly fun and hopefully entertaining. But a little bit of a struggle in the early part of the race and the midpart of the race to see a good race. And that's unfortunate for the fans. You can't do that the whole race, you can't tear up your stuff, knock your grill in, overheat your motor, all that stuff so there's no sense in doing all that until you get down to the last lap. The 7 and the 6, they did a good job. Man, the 7 really held the 22 and I tight on the bottom. I was rubbing his door and hitting the apron at the same time, no room whatsoever. So it was good; wish we were the ones who could have won but a lot better now than what we were last year. Going home in one piece makes it a lot better, right? Yeah. My back feels good. My foot feels good. Past years here, I've been going home with pain so I'm alright. Connect with Mike!

RYAN TRUEX When you're on the outside like that, how frustrating is it? It's so hard. Timothy Peters has won here. Kyle Busch has won everywhere. Ron Hornaday has been running Trucks forever, probably before I was even born. I was surrounded by veterans there, and like I told them I don't have a rookie stripe but I'm a rookie. This is only my fourth Truck race ever, my fourth superspeedway race, and man, I figured out when the 17 got up in front of me, I pushed him. And as soon as I pushed him, he took off. And I went with him. And I just kept doing it, and before I knew it, he was leading. And I saw Ron in my mirror, backed up to him, and if it wasn't for him, I don't know what would have happened. I gotta thank him big time for that. That was a true teammate move right there. I really appreciate that. He just bounced off me and we got to the front. I tried my hardest to sidedraft Kyle. I was probably touching his door. RON HORNADAY Top 5 in the No. 30 truck. This deal come together at the last minute, but you had a heck of a truck. Tell us about your night. Yeah, I've got to thank Turner Scott Motorsports. The guys worked so hard on this Rheem Comfort Products Chevrolet. Exciting! Just got hung up on the outside and had to wait for my teammate there to catch up. And then he got to the bottom, so… I got the old 32 and started pushing ol' Ryan to the front. So, it's not bad. We'll take it. You just don't want to step over that boundary. You don't know how far to push and shove. We bumped about six times down the straightaway without latching onto them. Hopefully, that was OK and we came home with a top 5. Connect with Mike!

BUDWEISER DUELS POST-RACE QUOTES REED SORENSON WHAT HAPPENED? They're saying the wheel bearing burned up in it. I don't know what caused it, they're taking it all apart to figure out what the heck happened. Something abnormal that's for sure I don't think I've ever had that happen at all. Hopefully, we made the race and hopefully we can fix the problem before Sunday. WHAT WAS THAT LOUD BOOM ONCE YOU TURNED INTO THE GARAGE? Loud pop was a tire… thankfully, it popped, hopefully it didn't hurt anybody. All the heat created in the left front that popped was pretty weird. MARCOS AMBROSE REALLY GOOD RUN. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF IT? Yeah, it was good. We have a car we can work with for the 500. Got a good starting spot, so we're going to rest easy, fluff and buff our car for a couple of days and get ready for Sunday. ANY DIFFERENCE ON WHETHER THE TOP OR BOTTOM LANE WORKED? Yeah, I was just moving around, trying to stay with the flow. For me, this car works on all parts of the racetrack. So I'm pretty happy with it. DALE EARNHARDT, JR. GOT SHUFFLED BACK, AFTER PIT STOPS AND THEN COULDN'T GET BACK UP TO THE FRONT. WHY? Nah, we were just sitting there waiting until the last few laps to make a move. You didn't want to pull down and get sent to the back. Seen a couple of guys get sent to the back really quick so we were just kind of waiting for the end. I felt like we had a good situation there with Ambrose behind us — we had a good run off Turn 2 and I went. It was the last lap, time to go do something, nobody went with us but hopefully Sunday is a different story. We got a great car. We don't have to work hard. We learned, we got a good race car. Got a car in one piece, ready to go so we'll try and get through the next couple of practices, deliver it to the starting group this Sunday and we'll be real happy. BRIAN SCOTT YOU'RE IN THE DAYTONA 500! Yeah, it's pretty awesome. This Whitetail Chevrolet was so fast that I knew all I had to do was stick it behind smart, intelligent drafters and we could have a good finish. That's what we did in the Duels and I'm excited. I'm excited to go do some stuff with the Nationwide car and have some more practice with this. But to know that we're locked in the Daytona 500's pretty cool. YOU WERE OBVIOUSLY IN FRONT OF THAT MELEE AT THE END. WHEN YOU WERE UP FRONT THERE IN THE BEGINNING, WERE YOU HOPING TO JUST STAY IN LINE AND LET YOU FINISH TOP 5? I was pretty content to ride and luckily I knew a lot of people around us were. It was nice to have a little calm and not really have to be racing hard the whole time. I knew that the pit stop was going to shake everything up and that's exactly what happened. Fell back a little bit there but made the right moves at the end to get a good finish. HOW STRONG ARE THESE RCR CARS? They're very strong! They definitely have the capabilities to be winning one of these races. PAUL MENARD YOU'RE IN THE TOP 5 FOR YOUR HEAT IN THE DAYTONA 500. YOUR PRIMARY CAR IS SITTING RIGHT IN THE GARAGE, KIND OF WADDED UP. DID YOU THINK THIS ONE HAD IT IN IT? Yeah, it's a brand new car also. It's just not quite as good as the primary but still a damned good car. I'm just proud of everybody at RCR for building such fast race cars. All of our cars have been fast, ECR motor's been strong, even our affiliate teams have been qualifying really good and racing good. So… excited about 2014! It's going to be a good year. WELL MAN, YOU STARTED IN THE BACK BUT WORKED YOUR WAY TO THE FRONT WHEN IT COUNTED MOST. WERE YOU JUST BIDING YOUR TIME THROUGHOUT THE RACE? Eh, you never know if you're going to get back up there or not. We had to start at the back, we had to make a run early and see what we could do. We drove right to 10th, or something like that and then it got stagnant. We tried to make something happen, and went to the back again. Drove back up to the front. Again, just really proud of my guys. Matt Kruder did a hell of a job on that pit stop getting just enough gas in to gain some spots there. RCR CARS SEEM PRETTY DARNED STRONG. DO YOU THINK THE RCR CARS HAVE SOMETHING FOR THEM ON SUNDAY — ESPECIALLY THE THREE JOE GIBBS RACING CARS THAT SEEM TO BE THE CLASS OF THE FIELD RIGHT NOW? Oh yeah. The 20 car was extremely fast. The 11 didn't qualify that good, but he's a good drafter. I think he won. We definitely have something for him.

"It amazes me. Every time I think Robby can't do anything any more stupid than he's already done, he one-ups himself." Casey Mears, March 2007 It is time to revisit the subject of Robby Gordon: Race Car Driver after his controversial activities in Montreal, Canada last Saturday. In March of this year, I dedicated this weekly column to defending Gordon against what I believe to be unfair and unbalanced treatment by the motorsports community as a whole. What had prompted that article entitled, Robby Gordon: NASCAR's "Lone Wolf" were allegations of Gordon's aggressive driving that led to an early race accident in Las Vegas, one which ended with the race cars of Ward Burton and Casey Mears being severely damaged. Though I continue to maintain that Gordon's survival as an owner/driver in Nextel Cup far outshadows in significance any perceived "bad behavior" on his part, I believe Casey Mears' comment on the accident at that time, in consideration of these most recent events, carries considerably more credence. Considering all of the altercations with teammates and other drivers that Gordon has been involved in over his career – or even the numerous one-car spins or multi-car wrecks he's caused – it seems to me that Robby Gordon has definitely upped his "stupid bar" another notch or two this time. And I say this knowing that Gordon probably had good reason to be angry over NASCAR's insistence that he restart the Busch Series race in the 13th position, a ruling made after Gordon was spun by Marcos Ambrose during a caution period. No question, NASCAR officials – no matter how they try to justify their decision – clearly blew this call. However, the defiant and bizarre manner in which Gordon responded to NASCAR's on-track ruling will cost the driver much more than the fines and probation that NASCAR levied against him, something he should have taken time to consider before he decided to begin his version of a "protest." The explanation Gordon has offered for his refusal to restart the race in the ordered position, remaining second to enact the obviously deliberate move of taking out of the leader, is almost laughable. According to Gordon, he did this so that he could let the race "play out" how it would have had NASCAR, in his opinion, not made an error in scoring him 13th after the caution period. Yeah right, Robby! You believed that after failing to start in your posted position, ignoring directions from officials to leave the track, committing a flagrant rough driving violation so that you could let the race finish out as you believed it should have, that you could simply waltz into the NASCAR trailer and explain to officials their scoring error and all would be right with the world. What a crock! No, Robby Gordon went to the inaugural NASCAR race at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve because it is a road race…and he knows he can win road races. He's not a regular in the Busch Series; no points were on the line here. All that concerned Gordon was simply earning a trip to Victory Lane. And when NASCAR determined that Gordon would start outside the Top 10 with only three laps remaining, he decided to make a mockery of the event in order to make that win a reality. And, boy did he do it in spades. After the race, he mirrored winner Kevin Harvick's Victory Celebration, post-race burnouts and arm pumping included. Though he was fully aware that he did not take the checkered flag, he just couldn't resist the chance to make that little extra dig…_take that, NASCAR!_ I won't deny that there was a certain degree of entertainment value to what this multi-talented driver did. For sure, you can give him a ten for originality – I haven't seen such an amateurish display by a driver in even a local dirt track Bomber Class race in ages. But, like in Robby's case with NASCAR, the local track officials are never amused by the antics of their disgruntled "weekend warrior," either. Late yesterday, NASCAR handed down their own fine and penalty. In addition to sitting out last Sunday's Nextel Cup race at Pocono due to his antics, Gordon was fined an additional $35,000 and placed on probation until Dec. 31, 2007. His probation comes with an additional warning that if, during the remaining NASCAR events in 2007, there is another action by Gordon that is deemed by officials as detrimental to stock car racing, NASCAR, or is disruptive to the orderly conduct of an event, he will be suspended indefinitely from the sport. All and all, it was not as harsh a punishment as some might have predicted. Possibly, NASCAR did not come down as heavy-handed as they certainly could have because they conceded that they were not without fault in the scoring irregularity. But, nonetheless, it would behoove Robby to tone it down if he cares to continue his Cup career. It is my bet that NASCAR will have a memory like Jimmy Spencer claims to have as far as this incident is concerned. Gordon's performance in the closing laps of the race in front of the sold out, auto racing savvy crowd in Montreal had to be nothing less than an embarrassment to them. But Robby has much more to now deal with than NASCAR's clearly stated penalties. As a Nextel Cup and part-time Busch Series owner and driver, he will surely suffer for his adolescent behavior in a much more damaging manner, and one of his own making. As a team owner, Robby answers to a much higher authority…corporate sponsors. The really lucrative Fortune 500 sponsors are an incredibly conservative lot – especially when it comes to making decisions on where and to whom their advertising dollars go. Looking back on the weekend, there's very little doubt that there were no captains of industry or CEOs of financial institutions watching the events of last Saturday and saying, "That Gordon guy…I want him to represent our product / company!" And Robby Gordon, the team owner – no matter how defiant he sounds – surely knows that he just dug a much larger hole for himself in his heroic efforts to remain a viable NASCAR team owner. No doubt, he has insured that a few more potential sponsorship opportunities for his already sponsor-challenged team are now lost. Right or wrong…that's Gordon's reality. A solid owner may be able to counteract the occasional inappropriate behavior of a driver with sponsors. However, when the bad actor is not only the driver, but also the-man-in-charge, the risks become more than most responsible companies want to take with both their name and their money. And, frankly, they don't need to. There are plenty of more staid and successful team owners out there more than willing to do business with them. But is this the beginning of the end for Robby? Possibly not. It's just another self-made hurdle that he did not need, one that he will now have to overcome. It's a shame, for Gordon has defied the odds since he put his first Robby Gordon Motorsports' Cup car on the track to attempt the Daytona 500 in 2005. The experts never gave him a chance of making it this far, and he's done a great job in surpassing the highest of expectations. But he isn't making it easy on himself. _Alright, seriously…did you actually notice anything exciting in this year's Pennsylvania 500?

Thanks for visiting the Frontstretch! Robby Gordon is a menace… a menace to order on the track, a menace to anyone racing around him, a menace to himself. He just cannot stop his self destructive behavior. Corporate America has enough greed to grasp the enormous amount of publicity generated by Robby's antics. Even bad publicity is good in todays media driven world. I would bet there will be a great amount of promotion for Nascar with Robby in the focus. When the lens focus is on Robby it is on his sponsors logos. The whole point of sponsorship is to get your product in the public eye. Go Robby! NASCAR needs a bad guy for ratings and Robby is getting light on sponsors. A symbiotic relationship made for tv. The sponsors who have left RGM didn't leave because he is a menace on track, they left because his marketing group treats the sponsors poorly and it is because they have adopted his values. BTW, that is no different than any other driver…just ussually the owner makes sure they act better. Robby could be huge by playing the villain, but he needs to merge with a team or company that can help him grow is sponsor relations and take advantage of his attention grabbing ways. BTW, dont believe me…watch him in interviews and see if he mentions his sponsors. Robby can make money on this behavior. How many marketing folks will look at the video and media comments and want put their name on his car? Many! He has had great exposure this week. Remember, any PR good or bad is good. OK, here's a question for everybody… Suppose that was a Cup race and it was Tony Stewart that did what Robby Gordon did to another driver. What would the consequences be? Look at how much garbage he's pulled in the past. It's only a matter of time before he really injures someone and NASCAR doesn't seem to do much about it. I'm not a Robby Gordon fan but at least Robby appears to be sincerly sorry and realizes he made a mistake. Will Stewart EVER admit he did anything wrong or used poor judgement? We all do stupid things. I guess I have to give Robby a pat on the back for giving Ambrose a chance this weekend and being man enough to admit what he did was wrong. You do nothing except make Robby Gordon the "bad guy"!! Why don't your do your research and go after the "REAL CULPRITS"!! I.E., NASCAR!! NASCAR "invites drivers" to run their events, telling everyone they, NASCAR have a set of rules! And week in, week out, we all see how NASCAR applies the "rules"! Sure, Robby made an a** of himself, but believe me his point was well taken!! That point being: NASCAR HAS NO, NONE, ZERO, APPEAL PROCESS! The last time someone was going to "appeal" A NASCAR penalty, they were told "oh, you don't like the current penalty? Well, remember, if you choose to file a formal appeal, we will have to review the penalties already given and make them more severe" That my friend! Is right from the mouth of NASCAR!! So much for the "APPEAL" process, and so much for a "FAIR" NASCAR! Ten (10) year old kids could have officiated the Montreal fiasco better than the "paid professionals"! And the the NASCAR organization wants to blame a driver!!!! Gosh, I am going to throw up! Nascar didn't blow anything. Go back to the truck race at Califorina this year. Mark Martin was leading coming to the green on a restart and Ron Hornady spun him out. The yellow came back out but Mark's truck didn't hold speed and he restarted last truck on the lead lap. NASCAR handled this in the same fashion and was consistant for once. I think the whole thing is hysterical; NASCAR still can't believe what happened, and really can't figure out what to do about it. Robby may becoming NASCAR's worst nightmare, a driver who can't get fired, and who exposed NASCAR for its ever more obvious "meddling" in race outcomes. NASCAR stop staging the races!!!! Also, the Martin/Hornaday truck incident is not a comparable situation; Martin's spin happened under green…. Oh, and by the way? Just who is "CASEY MEARS"?? What does he do for a living? He is not another one of those typical NASCAR marshmallow drivers is he? You know the kind, they just go round, and round, and around, on a Sunday getting absolutely no-where! And then call themselves: "RACE CAR DRIVERS"!! Give me a friggin break! |

Bellis perennis is a very common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae family, often considered the model type for the name "daisy".
Many related plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy.
Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe, but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas[1][2] and Australasia.
Names[change | edit source]
Linnaeus named the plant species as Bellis perennis in Sp. Pl. 2: 886. 1753 (view the page on line in Biodiversity Heritage Library</ref>
- Bellis is the Latin word for "pretty", "beautiful"; this word was used also as the name of the plant, and Pliny the Elder wrote Bellis in pratis nascitur, flore albo... ("The daisy that grows in the meadows, with a white flower...").[3]
- perennis, Latin for "that lasts the whole year", "perennial".[4]
For common names, see the article in Wikispecies on Bellis perennis.
Description[change | edit source]
It is an low herbaceous perennial plant with short rhizomes and rosettes of small rounded or spoon-shaped leaves that are 2–5 cm (0.8–2.0 in) long and grow flat to the ground.[1]
The flower heads are 2–3 cm (0.8–1.2 in) in diameter.[1] Although the 'flower' may appear to consist of a yellow centre with white petals, this is not the case. Each individual "petal" is itself an individual flower; these flowers are called ray flowers. In the centre (the "disk") there are also many tiny yellow flowers; these are called the disk flowers. The different colours and styles of flower work together in order to attract insects. The flower heads are produced on stems without leaves that are 2–10 cm (0.8–3.9 in) tall.
The chromosome number is 2n = 18.[5]
Where it grows[change | edit source]
Bellis perennis is native to Northern Africa (Morocco), Southwestern Asia, and Europe; widely introduced and naturalised elsewhere.[6]
The species habitually colonises grasslands, including lawns, and is difficult to eradicate. Wherever it appears it is often considered an invasive weed.[7]
Uses as food[change | edit source]
This daisy may be used as a leaf vegetable. Young leaves can be eaten raw in salads or cooked, noting that the leaves become increasingly astringent with age.[8] Flower buds and petals can be eaten raw in sandwiches, soups and salads.[9] It is also used as a tea and as a vitamin supplement.[1]

Howard Jr.Attorney, Agent or FirmForeign Application Priority Data1975-10-03 OEDescriptionFIELD OF THE INVENTIONThe present invention relates to an apparatus for molding a so-called radial pneumatic tire having a body formed from a plurality of coaxial annular layers of elastomeric material. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In commonly owned U.S. patent application Ser. No. 669,666, filed 23 Mar. 1976,, there has been disclosed a tire mold with a generally toroidal core divided into segments which can be retracted radially inwardly to facilitate the separation ofthe core from the molded tire. The mold cavity is completed by a pair of half-shells whose separation in an axial direction enables the inward withdrawal of the core segments. With the aid of suitable annular inserts, such a mold could be used in forming a composite tire body of the aforementioned radial type by producing successive layers in the same mold cavity whose effective width is progressively expanded throughthe removal of certain inserts between consecutive molding operations. This procedure, however, is cumbersome and time-consuming. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION It is, therefore, the object of the present invention to provide an improved apparatus of the expandable-mold type which simplifies the production of vehicular tires of the character set forth. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This object is realized, in accordance with the present invention, by the provision of a preferably upright frame carrying a generally toroidal core and a plurality of sets of mutually complementary ring segments coaxially juxtaposable with thecore to define therewith an annular mold cavity, the ring segments of the several sets having different inner radii all larger than the core radius. The ring segments of each set are mounted with freedom of radial displacement on a respective carrier soas to be successively alignable with the core in the order of their increasing inner radii. Upon such alignment, and inward movement of the segments with the aid of suitable actuating means, the mold cavity is sealed against the outside by closure meanson the frame preparatorily to the admission of elastomeric material into same. The closure means advantageously comprise a pair of axially separated cheeks on opposite sides of the core, i.e. above and below that core in the preferred arrangement in which the core axis is vertical. The cheeks are generally disk-shaped withperipheral portions overlying the ring segments in their working position, i.e. when these segments complement one another to form a continuous outer mold wall around the core, but are cleared by the segments in their retracted position whereby thesegment carriers can be axially shifted with reference to the cheeks for displacement therepast into and out of alignment with the core. Thus, two or more annular segment carriers can be stacked on the frame for successive operative juxtaposition withthe stationary core. It should be understood, however, that the segments could be standing still and the core could be successively aligned therewith together with its pair of flanking cheeks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING The above and other features of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawing in which: FIG. 1 is an elevational view, partly in section on the line I--I of FIG. 2, of a tire-molding apparatus embodying the invention; and FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view taken for the most part on the line II--II of FIG. 1. SPECIFIC DESCRIPTION The apparatus shown in the drawing comprises an upright frame 1 with several columns 2 angularly equispaced about a vertical axis A. Vertically slidable along this frame, with the aid of guide sleeves 3 traversed by the columns 2, is amold-supportinng unit 4 comprising a ring 5 centered on axis A. Peripherally spaced rollers 6 (only one shown) on ring 5 have upper and lower peripheral grooves receiving respective flanges 7', 7" and 8', 8" of two vertically spaced carrier rings 7 and8, these flanges being interconnected by vertical bolts 32 as indicated for the ring 8 in FIG. 2. The two rings are thereby held centered on axis A with freedom of limited rotation therearound, under the control of respective electric motors 10 (onlyone shown) having pinions 33 which mesh with rack segments 9 on these rings. Each ring 7, 8 carries a respective set of annular mold segments 15 and 16 in a manner which is the same for both rings and which therefore will be described only with reference to the lower ring 8 and the corresponding segments 16 visible inFIG. 2. An arcuate shoe 13, fastened by screws 14 to each segment 16, is connected with nonrotatable ring 5 and rotatable ring 8 via a parallelogrammatical linkage, generally designated 30, comprising a pair of arms 11, 12 articulated to rings 5, 8 at34, 35 and to shoe 13 at 36, 37. This linkage enables the shoe to be moved radially, parallel to itself, together with the associated mold segment between an outwardly retracted position (in which the segments are separated by peripheral gaps) and theworking position shown in FIG. 2 in which the segments complement one another to a continuous ring constituting the outer wall of a mold cavity 29. The inner boundary of that cavity is formed by a stationary core 28 of generally toroidal configuration. In order to facilitate the extraction of the core from the tire to be molded around it in cavity 29, the core may be of conventional collapsible type or may be split into inwardly retractable segments as described in the above-identified copendingapplication Ser. No. 669, 666. Each shoe 13 has a camming slot 17 receiving a roller 18 carried by the ring 8 (or 7 in the case of mold segments 15). Energization of motor 10 to rotate the ring 8 counterclockwise, as viewed in FIG. 2, moves all the segments 16 radiallyoutwardly into their retracted or inoperative position as illustrated in FIG. 1 for segments 15. For the sake of comparison, FIG. 2 shows in phantom lines a part of the inner peripheries of segments 15 in their working position from which it will benoted that their inner radii R are larger than the inner radii r of segments 16; both radii exceed the outer radius of core 28 as will be apparent from FIG. 1. Mounting ring 5 is provided with several elongate vertical nuts 19 in engagement with respective leadscrews 20 journaled on the frame 1, these leadscrews being driven in unison by a reversible motor 21 via a chain 31. Thus, energization of motor2 raises or lowers the mold unit 4 with reference to the stationary core 28 which is supported on a central post 27 rising from the base of frame 1. Post 27 supports a lower cheek 24, rigid with the overlying core 28, and acts as a counterbearing for avertically movable mandrel 22 which slides in a guide sleeve 40 on frame 1 and traverses an upper cheek 23. Core 28 is bracketed between these two disk-shaped cheeks whose peripheral zones overlie the segments 15 or 16 in their working positions but arecleared by these segments in their retracted positions. An articulated linkage 25, controlled by a hydraulic or pneumatic jack 26, acts through a collar 38 upon the upper cheeck 23 which is biased upwardly, with reference to core 28, by compressionsprings 39 (only one shown). The peripheral zones of cheeks 23, 24 have outwardly diverging confronting faces which facilitate the insertion of the mold segments 15 or 16 therebetween. Upon such insertion, by energization of motor 10 to establish theworking position of FIG. 2, actuation of jack 26 closes the mold cavity 29 against the outside and allows it to be filled with an elastomeric material such as polyurethane. Carrier rings 7 and 8 are limitedly vertically movable, with their segmentedmold walls 15 and 16, to allow the segments to be properly centered between the closing cheeks 23, 24. Linkage 25 comprises a two-arm lever 25a, 25b fulcrumed on sleeve 40 and an arm 25c linked to arm 25b and mandrel 22. In operation, the lower carrier ring 8 is first operatively aligned with core 28 to define a relatively shallow mold cavity 29 for the formation of the innermost layer of the tire body, i.e. its carcass. When the molding operation is completed,and before that layer has completely set, the mold is opened by the outward retraction of segments 16 through reverse energization of motor 10 whereupon motor 21 is energized to drive the unit 4 downwardly for juxtaposition of segments 15 with core 28. Next, ring 7 is rotated by the associated motor 10 to re-establish the mold cavity 29, now of greater depth, around the carcass layer for the purpose of molding a second layer constituting the tread of the tire; again, the cavity is closed by theclamping of cheeks 23, 24 against the core and the mold segments with aid of jack 26. After the second molding step, unclamping of the cheeks and outward retraction of the segments, a removal of superstructure 25, 26 or a lowering of post 27 with cheek24 and core 28 will allow the withdrawal of upper cheek 23 to expose the molded tire body which, upon outward retraction of segments 15 and collapse or inward retraction of the inflated or segmented core 28, can be removed from the mold. It will be evident that more than two sets of mold segments 15, 16 may be mounted on respective carrier rings 7, 8 in stacked relationship in order to form additional layers of the tire body, e.g. a reinforcing band between the carcass and thetread; see, in this connection, commonly owned U.S. application Ser. No. 569,159, filed 18 Apr. 1975. Moreover, the frame 1 need not be vertical but could be inclined or even horizontal. The parallelogrammatic linkages 30 connecting the moldsegments with their carrier rings are advantageous by virtue of their simplicity but could be replaced by other types of couplings.

2010 vintage.
Pours a strong red in color with a good lacy and foamy head.
Smells of intense alcohol and spices. Sweetness comes through as an almost overly ripe grapes doused in vodka smell.
Taste is explosive. The hops are present but not overly accentuated as a flavor and more as bitterness. Chocolate notes are up front with an almost a brandy filled taste.
Confusing and hard to write about but still enjoyable!

A - Dark amber with 1 finger eggshell head. Fair retention and no lacing.
S - Earthy hops, brown sugar, toffee, burnt caramel, and dark fruit. Scent is reminiscent of a barelywine.
T - Even at 6 months the hops are still very present. Earthy with citrus notes, they give off a bitterness. The malts come in with many different flavors of brown sugar, burnt caramel, toffee, and a little dark fruit. The finish has a nice bitterness to it.
M - Medium body with decent carbonation. Quite smooth with a barleywine like feel.
O - Big and bold this one can be drank fresh with huge hop notes or aged to make it more mellow and sweet.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration has withdrawn an application to participate in a home-health care program for low-income people that would have been funded through President Barack Obama's Affordable Care Act.
The state had applied to take part in the law's Community First Choice Program, which increases federal matching dollars to states that provide home care to the disabled.
On Monday, the Jindal administration withdrew its application.
Calder Lynch, policy director of the state Department of Health and Hospitals, said Louisiana cannot afford to take part because the program would require significantly extension of eligibility for the program.
Advocates for the disabled expressed disappointment.
"This is going to affect a lot of people who need these kinds of services, especially given that funding for mental health care has been cut continuously over the last couple of fiscal years," Martha Benson, of the National Alliance on Mental Illness in St. Tammany Parish, told The Times-Picayune (http://bit.ly/15ePrMR).
Lynch told The Times-Picayune the state might submit a new application if the federal government offers up more flexibility.
Although Jindal has been a fierce critic of many aspects of the Affordable Care Act, his administration last year quietly applied for the Community First Choice Program.
Lynch told The Advocate (http://bit.ly/14EDMTW ) that soon after the state submitted its application, the federal Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, or CMS, changed the interpretation of the rules governing the program. DHH negotiated with CMS for about a year, he said.
"CMS didn't give us flexibility to tailor the program, so it was too heavy a lift," Lynch said.
MAR 10 Mr. Bill, the former star of Saturday Night Live, has thrown in his two cents on the Big Oil lawsuit. In this YouTube video, Mr. Bill tries to talk to the governor about it, and doesn't come out ahead. (But really, those can't be Bobby's shoes. Aswell says he wears lifts.) The creator of the clay figure, Walter Williams, is a NOLA resident.
MAR 10 So... During his speech at CPAC last week, Bobby Jindal compared Eric Holder (attorney general of the United States and a black man) to George Wallace, the white governor who stood in front of black children who tried to go to school in a segregated south. As the Washington Post reports here, Holder sent him a copy of a book about those children, one of whom was Holder's sister-in-law. Before she died. Way to go, Bobby. (It's called Google. Check it out.)
MAR 10 Former Gov. Edwin Edwards will announce his candidacy for Congress on St. Patrick's Day, this post on the Picayune predicts. The rumors started several weeks ago, and while Bloomberg reported he was going to do it, he denied it later the same day. Now it's really happening, and in true Edwards fashion he's going to do it at the Press Club.
MAR 10 If you haven't started watching True Detective, don't -- unless you really, truly like a mystery. Because it's full of them, and its fans seem to love spinning theories to explain them. This post on the Daily Beast is an example: the show's creator, Louisiana's Nic Pizzolatto, recently said fans can find out something about its origins with a string of words put into Google. This is the result.
MAR 10 Recent personnel decisions at the New Orleans Saints football team have led to much wailing and gnashing of teeth among Who Dats. But this post on Bleacher Report argues that the changes, while painful, are the type necessary if the Saints are going to win another championship.
MAR 10 Here's a post by Meredith King about the ongoing discussion in New Orleans about the carpetbaggers who want to sanitize the city. King, a native New Orleanian, makes an elegant point here about how complex New Orleans is, and how that very complexity is what so often escapes those hipsters who (among other things) live in the Bywater and call it "the ninth."
MAR 10 Here's the New Yorker's telling of the story of Sue Eakin, the historian who found "12 Years a Slave" and dedicated her career to verifying the story, resurrecting the book and ensuring that Solomon Northup will never be forgotten. Sue also was the great-aunt of blogger Lamar White Jr. This post is a sweet remembrance of the lady by her son, Frank.
MAR 10 Blogger Tom Aswell is peeking under the skirt of the state dental board, and what he's seeing ain't pretty. In this post, which he says is the first of several, he touches on the board's power, some of its rules and where its funding comes from. This promises to be an interesting series.
MAR 7 Here's a great read on Mother Jones about Bobby Jindal and how his personal history has shaped the candidate. Again, the concept of personality and charisma (or a lack thereof) is raised, when Tim Murphy writes that Jindal has tried very hard but has "been eclipsed by a succession of shinier objects" like Rubio, Cruz and Christie. His real problem, former Gov. Buddy Roemer is quoted here as saying, is his ambition.
MAR 7 First it was a bunch of federal prosecutors, now an Arkansas judge. A political blogger outed a circuit judge as the same guy making nasty (and possibly racist, sexist and homophobic) comments on an LSU sports message board, the Picayune reports here. The judge, who was running for an appeals court seat up there, has ended his campaign and apologized. Not a good move for someone whose judgment affects people's lives.
MAR 7 Blogger Rod Dreher examines a recent poll that found Catholics sure like the new pope, but it's not having any effect on their behavior. He's a good guy and represents a positive change in their church, but it doesn't mean they're going to Mass more than they used to, Dreher tells us. Why is that? Dreher thinks it is because most American Catholics are just going to do what they want, regardless of who the pope is.
MAR 7 Columnist Mark Moseley writes about "commentgate" in this post on the Lens, mostly to remind us that "we don't know jack squat" about what really happened. Sure, the scandal of federal prosecutors anonymously commenting on the Picayune's website about cases in their office brought down Jim Letten and all of his buds, but we still know virtually nothing about what really happened, and all the perpetrators have not been identified, Moseley argues.

J.R. Celski skates in the first men's 1,000-meter semifinal during the U.S. Olympic Short Track Trials this month at the Utah Olympic Oval in Salt Lake City. (Matthew Stockman / Getty Images)
Apolo Anton Ohno took his soul patch, bandanas and eight Olympic medals into retirement, leaving a gaping hole in American short track speedskating.
J.R. Celski is poised to step into the void as the country�s best hope for a medal in the wild and wooly sport known as roller derby on ice.
The 23-year-old from Federal Way, Wash., will compete at his second Olympics looking to add to the pair of bronze medals he won at the 2010 Vancouver Games, when Ohno was ending his career as America�s most decorated Winter Olympian.
Celski qualified in all three distances for Sochi, Russia, in addition to the 5,000-meter relay. He�s ranked among the world�s top 10 in the 1,000 and 1,500, and just outside the top 10 in the 500.
This time, Celski is healthy heading to the Olympics. At the U.S. trials four years ago, his right skate sliced his left leg in a crash, spewing blood on the ice. He bruised his femoral artery and came close to severing it, which could have been fatal.
The accident required six hours of daily physical therapy, which robbed him of practice time. But he bounced back five months later to make the podium in Vancouver.
�My goal was just to get to Vancouver. I did that and the medals were just a bonus,� he said. �This time, I�m going to Sochi healthy and I�m looking forward to doing some damage.�
Celski took a year off after Vancouver to re-establish his goals and mind-set. Once he returned and started winning races, he rekindled the love he had for the sport. He welcomes assuming leadership of the U.S. men�s team from Ohno, who mentored Celski and remains one of his biggest supporters.
�I am very happy to be in the position I am now. I looked up to that guy for a long time,� said Celski, who like Ohno is from the Seattle area. �This time is completely different for me mentally, physically, I�m healthy. I�m going to ride that momentum.�
In Vancouver, a team led by Ohno and now-retired Katherine Reutter earned a total of six medals � two silver and four bronze � to trail only powerhouse South Korea in the standings.
The Americans will be hard-pressed to equal that showing in Russia, but the men have the stronger team.
Unlike the U.S. women, who didn�t qualify a relay team for Sochi, the U.S. men will be a gold-medal favorite in the 5,000 relay. Celski will be joined by Eddy Alvarez, Kyle Carr, Chris Creveling and Jordan Malone in making up the team. The Americans were top-ranked during the World Cup season.
�We all practice together every day and that�s going to make a huge difference,� Celski said.
Their togetherness is in stark contrast to the turmoil that roiled the U.S. short track program beginning in 2012.
Coach Jae Su Chun was accused by a dozen national team members of physical, emotional and verbal abuse. He also was alleged to have ordered speedskater Simon Cho to sabotage the skates of a Canadian rival.
Chun denied all allegations, and other members of the team came to his defense. He�s serving a two-year suspension through October, and Jessica Smith is the only skater he coaches to have made the Olympic team. He plans to be in the stands in Sochi, although he won�t be allowed inside the racing area.
Celski was among Chun�s accusers.
�Everybody had their choice,� Celski said.
Canadian Stephen Gough was brought in to oversee the fractured national program, and tread lightly in trying to bring cohesion in the months leading up to Sochi.
�He made sure that the right people were in place,� Celski said of Gough�s staffing choices. �They�re a lot of the reason why we are the team we are today. Everybody is meshing really well together. That�s what the biggest change has been in the past 1� years is really figuring out who are the key people that are going to raise this team�s spirits.�
Like Ohno, who had varied interests off the ice, Celski is into music and filmmaking. Last year, he produced �The Other Side,� a documentary featuring Grammy-winning duo Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and other hip hop acts in the Pacific Northwest.
Having endured the turmoil to make a second Olympics, Celski is now optimistic enough to consider the future.
�I love to speed skate,� he said. �I wouldn�t be surprised if I convince myself to keep going.�
Brazilian out of Olympics
A Brazilian gymnast who was expected to compete in freestyle skiing at the Sochi Olympics is unable to move her arms or legs and can�t breathe on her own after she hit a tree while skiing in Utah this week, doctors said Thursday.
Lais Souza, 25, is fighting for her life and will definitely miss the Olympics, said Brazilian team doctor Antonio Marttos at a news conference in Salt Lake City.
She was injured Monday when she hit a tree while skiing recreationally in Park City, Utah, in an accident that doctors said could have happened to anybody. She was not injured while practicing her freestyle maneuvers.
Doctors aren�t declaring Souza paralyzed at this point, but recognize that�s a possibility. She dislocated a vertebrae near the top of her spine, said Dr. Andrew Dailey, a neurosurgeon with University of Utah Health Care. She remains in critical condition, still using a breathing machine and unable to talk.
�She is fighting for her life,� said Marttos, a trauma surgeon at the University of Miami Health System.
Souza has no feeling in her arms or legs, said Dailey, who said it�s still too soon to know whether she�ll regain feeling.
�People can recover, but it simply takes time to know if that�s going to happen,� said Dailey, explaining that people sometimes get feeling back weeks, months or even years later.
The young Brazilian, who participated in the 2004 and 2008 Summer Olympics as a gymnast, has been skiing for about six months, Marttos said.
Ice chips
Six-time Olympic medalist Rebecca Soni retired from swimming Thursday.
The 26-year-old American plans to launch a new lifestyle company and blog instead of making an attempt at her third Olympics.
Soni took an extended break after the London Games, but left open the possibility of returning to the pool. Finally, with about 2� years to go until the 2016 Olympics, she decided to retire.
�I know I�ve conquered my goals in the pool, and now it�s time to conquer something else,� she said.
Soni won the 200-meter breaststroke at the last two Olympics while taking back-to-back silvers in the 100 breast. She also was part of medley relay teams that won gold in Beijing and the silver in London.
She is best known for becoming the first woman to break 2 minutes, 20 seconds in the 200 breast.
... Australian media reports say five-time Olympic champion swimmer Ian Thorpe has checked into a rehab facility in Sydney while battling depression and alcohol abuse.
News Corporation says the 31-year-old Thorpe was admitted to hospital on Wednesday after being injured in a fall. The news organization quoted a friend of Thorpe as saying �he had an accident at home. He slipped and hurt himself. We�re hoping he�s going to be OK and make a full recovery.�
Thorpe has been living in Switzerland for the past 18 months but returned to Sydney to spend the Christmas period with family.
In his autobiography, released last year, Thorpe said he spent much of his life battling �crippling� depression.
... The U.S. figure skaters will do some of their training for the Sochi Olympics in Austria.
Barbara Reichert, the spokeswoman for U.S. Figure Skating, says the organization secured ice time two years ago at a training facility in Europe �to allow additional practice time for American athletes to prepare for the Olympic Winter Games. This is a very common practice at the Olympics and is not in response to any security issues.�
The athletes will still practice during their regular time slots in Sochi, with additional skating to be done in Austria. Reichert says this has been done before: At the 2002 Salt Lake City Games, the team trained outside of Utah. Same thing at the 2006 Turin Olympics and four years ago in Vancouver.
... A day after the head of the Sochi organizing committee appeared to contradict IOC president Thomas Bach on the rights of Olympic athletes to freely express themselves at news conferences, organizers issued a back-pedaling statement Thursday �to clarify� their position.
Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that he didn�t think athletes were allowed to speak about non-sporting issues at official Olympic news conferences. On Monday, Bach said athletes would be free to do so.
�The Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee would like to clarify comments attributed to Dmitry Chernyshenko yesterday concerning athletes being able to express themselves during press conferences. Sochi 2014 are fully aligned with the position of the International Olympic Committee,� the committee said in a statement.
�Mr. Chernyshenko simply meant that athletes are free to express themselves at a press conference � but of course they cannot use a press conference to make a demonstration or protest � similarly, they cannot use any Olympic venue to demonstrate.�
Athletes are forbidden from making political demonstrations or gestures on the medal stand and at other venues by the Olympic Charter. But there has been some concern that athletes in Sochi may try to protest against the Russian law banning gay �propaganda� among minors.
... It doesn�t matter that Zimbabwe has seen a sprinkling of snow only once, and it wasn�t even in Luke Steyn�s lifetime.
The 20-year-old Steyn still will be the southern African country�s first Winter Olympics athlete when he races in the slalom and giant slalom at the 2014 Games in Sochi.
Highland Park, Ill., has declared Feb. 7 �Jason Brown Day� and suburban Chicago residents plan to wear ribbons and put them on their door knobs and trees to honor the figure skater.

Prativ Jani
This month we recognize one of the Rockville Donor Center volunteers. Prativ Jani started as a volunteer at the Gaithersburg Donor Center, however since then he is now a steady fixture at the Rockville Donor Center, dedicating his time and service to the Red Cross.
Prativ is recently retired and wanted to continue to be active. He first came to the Red Cross by way of the Gaithersburg Gazette almost a year in a half ago. The biggest draw for him was knowing that the Red Cross is an international organization. He has a friend who is currently an instructor for the Red Cross in India.
Originally from Bombay, India, Prativ moved to the United States in 1973. He holds a degree in Accounting from the University of Bombay and worked for Bank One (now Chevy Chase Bank) for over 27 years. He enjoys movies and watching TV and one of his favorites is Tarzan. He has a son and a daughter and his wife is an employee for the Food and Drug Administration.
He once met a donor who visited his home country and was able to share experiences, photos and stories. "Volunteering at the donor center is a great opportunity to meet new people and hear their exciting stories," Prativ said.
We thank Prativ for his continued support and efforts at the Rockville Donor Center. Please join us in celebrating February's Volunteer of the Month Prativ Jani.

Have you ever seen a long queue in front of a restaurant and instantly concluded that the food there must be excellent, so you decided to join it? Have you ever found yourself laughing along to the canned laughter on your favorite TV shows even though the scene wasn't actually that funny? If you answered yes to either question, you are one of the many people who have been influenced by social proof.
Social proof is defined by Hubspot as "the concept that people will conform to the actions of others under the assumption that those actions are reflective of the correct behavior." Other names for it include the bandwagon effect, the herd mentality, conformity, and so on.
Marketers and advertisers are throwing this phrase around because social proof is the new currency of credibility.
Purchase Influences Have Changed
In the past, customers were content to watch advertisements and read posters about products and services, and they accepted that information as a given. However, with massive search engines such as Google springing up in the past decade, objective information has become far more accessible to the everyday person. People would rather trust the opinions of their neighbors rather than what the company has to say about their own product. Read More

March 11, 2014 - It is very slippery & does not stay in place at all on the dash board, center console etc. I was disappointed that I could not use it in my car. However, I have it on my kitchen counter & It makes a great "cacth all" for keys. etc. Even use it to set my coffee mug on. So it does come in handy & is cute, but not sticky at all. Does not adhere to any surface.
January 18, 2014 - Item received is NOT sticky, NOT non-slip. Spends more time on floor than dashboard. Removing from car to use as a "coaster"

Grenser Trio: Beethoven with a Twist Presented by GEMS, 11/15
Grenser Trio: Beethoven with a Twist – His Sextet for Three will be presented by Gotham Early Music Scene (GEMS) in a free concert on Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 1:15pm at Saint Peter's Lutheran Church, 619 Lexington Avenue (at 54th Street), New York, NY. No tickets required; seating first-come, first-served.
Grenser Trio: Ed Matthew, clarinet; Dongsok Shin, fortepiano; Carlene Stober, cello.
In the second half of the eighteenth century, chamber music with a new instrument, the clarinet, began to appear in concerts and at amateur gatherings. With little repertoire in existence, clarinetists commissioned original music as well as transcriptions. The Grenser Trio pairs Bohemian composer J.B. Vanhal's third clarinet sonata with A.F.
