Public Abstract:
Human embryonic stem (ES) cells are commonly derived from early embryos before they implant in the uterus, therefore, ES cells are not only able to grow unlimitedly but can also develop into different cell types, such as cells that form our heart, lungs, nerves, and blood vessels. The ability of human ES cells to grow with no restriction and to become functionally useful cells makes ES cells valuable to treat patients with heart attack, stroke, diabetes, and chronic lung diseases. The ES cells isolated from patients with cardiovascular and pulmonary diseases can also be used to define pathogenic mechanisms of the disease. Among cardiovascular and lung diseases, pulmonary hypertension (i.e., abnormally high blood pressure in the lungs) is a progressive and fatal disease that affects thousands of people annually in the United States. In addition, many patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), congenital heart diseases, scleroderma, and AIDS also develop pulmonary hypertension, which may cause right heart failure and death. Although a variety of medical and surgical therapeutic strategies have been used clinically to treat patients with pulmonary hypertension, treatment is expensive and ineffective; the mortality of patients with pulmonary hypertension, albeit delayed, is still high. It is therefore urgent to explore the possibility to use stem cell therapy for patients with various forms of pulmonary hypertension, for example patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), patients with HIV/AIDS-mediated pulmonary hypertension, patients with blood clot-induced pulmonary hypertension, patients with pulmonary hypertension due to lung infection and smoking (e.g., COPD), and patients with pulmonary hypertension due to congenital heart disease. Although the therapeutic potential of stem cells is well recognized and promising, abnormal stem cells can be also be involved in the development of cardiopulmonary diseases. It is therefore important to understand the intrinsic mechanisms involved in stem cell growth and the regulatory mechanisms that guide stem cells to become different types of cells (e.g., blood vessel cells, heart cells, or lung cells). This study is designed to study: a) whether and how a special group of proteins, ion channel proteins, participate in regulating human ES cell growth, b) whether increased or decreased expression/function of these channel proteins affects the ability of human ES cells to become functional cells (e.g., blood vessel cells), and c) whether diseased cells isolated from patients with pulmonary hypertension affect normal human ES cell growth and alter the ability of ES cells to become functional cells (e.g., whether diseased cells can "misguide" normal human ES cells to become malfunctioned or dysfunctional cells). Completion of this project will provide useful information for developing new therapeutic approaches for patients with different forms of pulmonary hypertension.
Statement of Benefit to California:
California is the most populous state in the United States; there are millions of patients suffering from cardiopulmonary diseases in the state. Although it predominantly affects women, pulmonary vascular disease is a disease that affects people in all races; there is no significant difference in terms of incidence among different ethnic groups. Based on the demographic data from the UCSD Medical Center, the patients with pulmonary hypertension who were treated with lung transplantation and pulmonary endarterectomy include 76-78% Caucasians, 7-12% Hispanics, 8-13% African Americans, 3% Asians, and 3% Others. The current medical therapy for patients with pulmonary vascular disease is expensive and often ineffective. Development of more effective therapeutic approaches for pulmonary vascular disease would significantly improve healthcare quality and reduce healthcare expenses in California. The UCSD Medical Center, which is ranked fifth in the nation by US News & Report in the category of Respiratory Disorders, is a major referral center for patients with pulmonary hypertension. Developing stem cell-based therapeutic approaches for patients with pulmonary vascular disease would not only provide healthcare for California patients, but also definitely increase the visibility of the UCSD Medical Center and attract more patients from other states in the country and from other countries to obtain treatment at UCSD, which would financially benefit California. Finally, stem cell research and stem cell-based therapies are still in the budding stage. To become a leading authority in this field will eventually contribute to improvement and enhancement of economy, healthcare, and education in California.
Review Summary:
This applicant proposes to investigate the role of Ca2+ and K+ channels in hESC. In the first 2 aims he proposes to define and charaterize ion channels functionally expressed in HESCs and to investigate their role in hESC proliferation, differentiation and/or fate decisions. RT-PCR and single cell RT-PCR and patch clamp will be used to investigate the expression and function of various channels using tchniques well established in this lab. In the third aim, he will explore whether feeder cells isolated from patients with pulmonary hypertension or chronic thrmboembolic disease alter the growth of hESC. In a final aim he proposes to turn patient fiblroblasts into hESC by overexpression of pluripotency genes such as Oct3/4, Sox 2 or Nanog. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: The first two aims are descriptive and well within the investigator's expertise but are likely to yield data of interest with respect to the basic biology of hESC. There is no rationale provided for the 3rd aim since there is no evidence or plasible hypothesis for suggesting that hESC have any direct or indirect role in pulmonary hypertension or chronic thromboembolic disease. The evidence cited in the grant relate to more differented progenitor cells derived from the bone marrow/blood or the vessel wall. There is also no rationale for the the 4th aim. The challenge of turning fibroblasts into hESC is perhaps best explored in labs with experience at introducing and expressing transgenes in cultured cells. STRENGTHS: Strengths of this proposal include the combined experience of the research team and the broad array of techniques that will be employed to investigate ion channel expression and function. The survey experiments in aims one and two are likely to yield abundant data on expression of channel subunits and functional properties, but the manipulations described in aims three and four do not really address necessity or sufficiency of channel repertoire either in maintaining pluripotency or in sculpting differentiation. WEAKNESSES: The proposal fails to make a compelling connection between pulmonary vascular disease and hES cell differentiation. The applicants hypothesize that the niche environment of the hypertensive vascular wall may present signals to circulating stem cells in the blood. But these circulating stem cells are not hES cells and it is not clear that hES cells should be expected to respond to these hypothetical signals in the same way as circulating blood stem cells. Overall, the proposal does not do a good job of explaining whether the proposed experiments are mainly meant to provide new information about hES cells or about pulmonary vascular disease; or, whether hES cells are somehow envisioned to have some future therapeutic use in the treatment of vascular disease. The fourth aim, which tests whether expression of transcription factors present in undifferentiated hES cells confers pluripotency onto adult pulmonary vascular fibroblasts, seems particularly diffuse. The application asserts that "it is important to define whether the "misguided" or "dysproliferative" cells isolated from the pulmonary vasculature wall of patients with pulmonary hypertension are able to alter proliferation and differentiation of normal hES cells", but there is no clear statement of why this is important. Enthusiasm for this application would be much higher if it made clear whether the ultimate goal of these experiments is to develop a new therapy for pulmonary disease involving hES cells, to obtain new information about mechanisms that underlie hES cell differentiation, to identify the hypothetical signals emanating from the vascular wall niche, or some other objective. DISCUSSION: There was no further discussion following the reviewers' comments.

Report from Taiji: October 28 (new video)
Babies, mothers, infants…
As predicted, the wind and waves kept the dolphin hunters in port today. This was a beautiful day in Taiji.
Because the hunters did not leave port we were able to spend some time working with the video from yesterday's slaughter. It turns out Cove Guardian Rex Ray had filmed something the dolphin trainers probably wish we had not seen. The dolphin trainers entered the cove via skiff from Taiji harbor and then left again in the skiff, but traveled to the whale museum. This seemed odd. The video of them leaving reveals that they had 3 to 4 baby pacific spotted dolphins in the skiff with them. These babies are probably between 6 to 12 months old and it is questionable if they are old enough to take solid food. The Taiji whale museum is known for its "exotic" collection. It could be that they intend to put these babies on display for as long as they manage to live. It is common knowledge among dolphin trainers that pacific spotted dolphins generally do not do well in captivity.
Yesterday, we saw infant dolphins being tossed about by the killers. Those infants were even smaller and younger than the ones with the trainers. There is no way they could survive without their mothers, and because the killers are greedy, the killers had no intention of freeing the mothers. Therefore, the infants were slaughtered along with their mothers. The 3-4 babies snatched by the trainers are the only dolphins to survive yesterday's carnage, but who knows how long they will survive. And of course, if they do survive, they will have a miserable life ahead doing tricks for food and providing entertainment for ignorant humans.
One thing that really struck me about the trainers taking these babies is that most of the trainers in yesterday's slaughter were women. I wonder if any of these women are mothers. I wonder if they have ever nursed a baby or cared for a sick child. How do these women live with themselves? The shame they must feel. They share the blame with the dolphin hunters and slayers of Taiji for the stain on the nation of Japan.
Pacific spotted dolphins commonly are the dolphins one sees riding the bow waves of ships at sea. They are also the dolphins most often caught in tuna nets. Does anyone remember the worldwide uproar a number of years ago about dolphin safe tuna? Millions of people boycotted tuna companies until change was implemented in how tuna is caught in order to protect dolphins. How is it these same dolphins, including nursing mothers and infants, can be "legally" slaughtered in Japan? What am I missing here?
The Japanese government is feeling the pressure of our continual presence here and of the international public's continued uproar. Keep it up. Be loud and unwavering. They have no choice but to listen. They want silence. We will give them silence, once they behave like responsible adults on the international stage.
Elora and I will be staying in Taiji until December 9. Our visas expire on December 10. A Sea Shepherd representative will replace me and so we will have a continued presence through the end of the season. Donations are still needed to fund this campaign. We encourage Cove Guardians to stand with Sea Shepherd. Being a Cove Guardian is direct action you can do, and in doing, you will make a difference and change your life.
The dolphin hunting and slaughter season in Taiji runs until March 31, 2011. It picks up again on September 1, 2011. We are confident that Cove Guardians will answer the call and come join us here this year, but for those who cannot come this year; start making your plans for next year. This is working and if we continue our presence long enough, the laws will be changed. When that happens, Japan can take a respectful place among the nations of the world.
You can help. Spread the word, send donations to the Sea Shepherd Cove Guardian campaign, join in the Worldwide Anti-Whaling Day on November 5, avoid all travel to Japan except to become a Cove Guardian with us here in Taiji, make good consumer choices regarding whether or not to purchase Japanese products, and ensure that you do everything you can to keep the pressure on the Japanese authorities. It is unfortunate that the reputation of an entire nation is being tarnished by the evil and shameful deeds of a handful of men and women in Taiji. To join us (voluntarily, and completely at your own cost and risk) in Taiji, write to me at firstname.lastname@example.com. I will get back to you, but please be patient. I cannot keep an eye on the Cove and answer email at the same time.
For the Oceans,
Scott West

Fantastic route for the grade! I wouldn't say there is truly a crux on this climb but it would be constant 5.8 and fun. Sport route up a steepening wall with good holds. Excellent route!
This route is the first sport route right of the large obvious black varnish section on the Panty wall and just barely right on the pine tree. You can't miss it, just follow the bolts!
Total sport route with 6 bolts and chain anchors at the top just over the lip on the varnished wall. Safe and well protected, go for it!

We are a husband/wife in our 50's. This was our 16th cruise; the third with Norwegian. This was our first time to cruise in Europe.
We boarded in Rome and found it a simple process. To save money we took the TrenItalia from Rome to get to the port. Quite simple and hassle free. I believe it cost less than $20 for both of us one way.
We followed the advice of Rick Steeves in all of our port destinations and had a fantastic time.
The ports were 90% of the reason we took this trip. We have never had a bad cruise, and this experience was at or near the top. The price we paid for the cruise I believe was more than fair. The prices once you get on board the Epic are a totally different story. Not unexpected.
Our large balcony cabin on deck 12 was just right. We're not big fans of the toilet arrangement. We would much prefer a real door to seal it off from the rest of the room.
The service provided by the crew was outstanding, especially our cabin steward.
The meals we took in the Garden Cafe buffet were consistently good, probably the best we've had in all of our cruises. Most everything seemed to be freshly prepared, not sitting in warmers for extended periods.
I would agree with comments that the Epic is more functional than "showy". We didn't like that the ship does now have a deck where you can walk completely around the vessel. There is no central atrium, few places where you can sit, have a drink and people-watch. The casino is "the largest at sea" - too large. Obviously a profit center. My wife the gambler didn't see anyone winning big on the slots. There is one area of the casino that's a bottleneck, clogged with traffic at night - perhaps a design flaw.
We enjoyed all but one of our dinners in The Manhattan Room. The food and service were good every time.
On the one sea days the pools were jammed and chair hogs were out in full force. If you do find a chair, it's the best place to people watch.
The Blue Man Group show was OK, but a bit long.
I will say compared to our two previous NCL cruises in 2004 and 2008, the experience on board the Epic was much improved. The size of the ship wasn't really an issue.
I would conclude the Epic is best suited for "port intensive" cruises. If the ship itself is your main reason for taking a cruise, I believe there are better choices.

Last-gasp heartbreak for AFC Wimbledon as they are left dead and Bury-ed
8:53am Monday 24th February 2014 in Sport By Bruce Archer, Reporter
AFC Wimbledon suffered injury-time heartbreak to extend their worst run of the season at home, going down 1-0 to relegation strugglers Bury.
Danny Mayor's 94th minute effort condemned Dons to four defeats in a row having failed to find the net in the last three, although Neal Ardley's men dominated at the Cherry Red Records stadium.
The Dons drop to 16th in the League Two, still nine points above the drop zone but having played at least one game more than six of the eight sides below them, and two more than their opponents.
The game started evenly with both teams lining in a 3-5-2 formation and cancelling each other out in the middle of the park.
Wimbledon though had an early chance as Danny Hylton, playing against the side he played for in the first half of the season, headed straight to Brian Jensen after George Francomb's delivery from the right.
Ardley made two changes from the side that went down to Portsmouth with new loan signing Michael Collins, who signed on Thursday from promotion-chasing Scunthorpe United until the end of the season, and Barry Fuller coming in for Will Antwi and Luke Moore.
The visitor's best opportunity of the half came as Daniel Nardiello broke into the penalty area, twisting past Darren Jones, and struck across goal, only for Fuller to divert it for a corner.
The introduction of Harry Pell at half time gave Wimbledon more urgency and, playing through the centre with Sammy Moore and debutant Collins, Pell helped the Dons take control of the match.
Gradually it became a contest between Hylton and former Burnley keeper Jensen, with the Dane coming out on top.
The best effort came just short of the hour-mark, Hylton twisted on the edge of the box to find space to shoot before lashing the ball towards the bottom corner, only for the 38-year-old to tip it round the post.
With Bury having weathered the storm they found their own momentum in the final ten minutes, forcing Ross Worner into action for the first time.
Substitute Jean-Louis Akpa Akpro fired over and then onto the cross bar before Danny Mayor skipped onto a loose ball and finished four minutes into stoppage time to steal the spoils.
Wimbledon's next action is Tuesday night's re-arranged tie with Newport County before heading to Fleetwood Town on Saturday.
AFC Wimbledon: Worner, Fuller, Fenlon (Pell 45), Morris, Jones, Bennett, S Moore, Collins, Wyke (Midson 71), Hylton, Francomb (Sainte-Luce 64).
Subs not used: Arthur, Brown, L Moore, Sheringham.

Updated Dec 27, 2012 - 2:53 pm
Patrick Peterson's growth at cornerback rewarded with Pro Bowl honor
However, while Peterson will make his second straight trek to Honolulu for the league's All-Star showcase on January 27, his path to getting there was very different this time around.
As a rookie in 2011, Peterson was voted in as the conference's starting return man, after the former No. 5 pick took the league by storm with a record-tying four punt returns for touchdowns (all of which were over 80 yards).
This season, Arizona's return specialist has been held out of the end zone through 15 games, but has still found ways to terrorize opposing teams with his play-making skills in the Cardinals' secondary.
Despite lining up against some of the league's best receivers in 2012 (DeSean Jackson, Roddy White, Calvin Johnson, Brandon Marshall and Michael Crabtree), the former LSU star has picked off seven passes (second-best in the NFL) and pushed Arizona's defense towards the top of the league in takeaways (33).
"That's huge, because at the end of the day [cornerback] is my primary position," Peterson said of getting voted in as a Pro Bowl starter. "That's a huge accomplishment for me.
"I want to continue getting better each and every year. Now my goal is to go there every year as a cornerback."
While Peterson has lofty ambitions for the coming years, head coach Ken Whisenhunt was just happy his star corner was acknowledged in 2012.
"I'm excited for Patrick, and I think it's well-deserved," Whisenhunt said. "I think the thing that has been overlooked, is that most of the time he has been matched up against the best player we've gone up against. And he's fared well."
Whisenhunt added that Peterson's national recognition is also something the organization can be proud of.
"[His skills at cornerback] are why we drafted him," said Whisenhunt. "He was one of the guys we felt really good about coming out, and he's certainly lived up to that."
In addition to his seven interceptions, Peterson has 15 pass deflections and 53 totals tackles this season.

Seasoned Mixed Nuts Recipe
These seasoned mixed nuts make great hostess gifts; or just tuck some in with a Christmas present. I often add another teaspoon of cardamom, a flavor we enjoy!Judi Oudekerk, Buffalo, Minnesota
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided
- 2 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 1 cup salted cashews
- 1 cup salted peanuts
- 1 cup pecan halves
- In a large heavy skillet, melt butter. Add 1/2 cup sugar; cook and stir over high heat until sugar is dissolved. Meanwhile, place cardamom and remaining sugar in a large bowl; set aside.
- Reduce heat to medium; add the cashews, peanuts and pecans to butter mixture. Cook and stir until nuts are toasted, about 3 minutes. Add hot nuts to reserved cardamom mixture; toss to coat. Spread on foil to cool. Yield: 3-1/2 cups.

Wow! These nuts are amazing. My husband requests them all the time. I'm even going to experiment with the spices in the future. Perhaps cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and cocoa powder. They make a great gift too. Sure beats paying for the overpriced specialty nuts in the store.
Reviewed Dec. 26, 2011
Thought these very very good. Could I toast some almonds and add them in place of pecans? Hubby loves almonds while pecans do not rate high on his list?

The Herald Bulletin
---- — INDIANAPOLIS —Carolyn Rhoton and the Rev. Donald McCord spent more than four hours sitting on hard benches outside the Indiana House chamber Monday, having started the morning with conflicting prayers.
Rhoton, a retired nurse from Lebanon, said she prayed for legislators to have the wisdom to push forward a ban on same-sex marriage, ultimately putting it to voters on the November ballot. "I believe it's what God wants," she said.
McCord, a retired pastor in Indianapolis, said his prayer was for those same lawmakers to have the wisdom to kill the resolution and stop an increasingly divisive fight in Indiana. "We ought not to be passing legislation on how other people ought to live their lives," he said.
Neither of their prayers was answered.
Having heard hours of emotional testimony, the House Judiciary Committee unexpectedly failed to vote to send the amendment to the state constitution onto the full House. It was the first hearing on the contentious matter this session, and committee Chairman Rep. Greg Steuerwald, R-Avon, said members wanted more time to reflect on the testimony.
What they heard yesterday was divided opinion from legal experts, faith leaders, and average citizens about the amendment that would ban both same-sex marriage and civil unions.
Jim Bopp, a prominent conservative lawyer from Terre Haute and former member of the Republican National Committee, spoke in favor and predicted the amendment would hold up in court.
Peter Rusthoven, a prominent conservative lawyer from Indianapolis and former adviser to President Ronald Reagan, opposed the amendment and a companion bill that seeks to explains the amendment's intent. He predicted legal challenges would keep litigators busy for years to come. He suggested renaming the measure as the "Full Employment For Lawyers Act," eliciting laughter from the crowds inside and outside the House chamber.
A line of pastors pulled out passages of Scripture for and against the bill.
The Rev. Ron Johnson, head of the Indiana Pastor Alliance, said failing to pass the amendment would leave the state open to "sexual anarchy." Christian Theological Seminary President Matthew Myer Boulton said the amendment is unholy in its intolerance for gay people.
The amendment has already caused convulsions among Republicans who control both legislative chambers in Indiana. It sailed through two years ago, in the first of a three-step process needed to amend the Indiana Constitution. It was then known as House Joint Resolution 6.
But it hit a snag when the U.S. Supreme Court decided to take up the issue of same-sex marriage. The measure was held over until this year; while the court struck down a federal ban on same-sex marriage last year, it allowed states to make their own decisions about defining marriage.
In Indiana, the issue has been made murkier by a second sentence tagged onto the original language, which forbids the state from recognizing anything "similar" to same-sex marriage.
Debate on the amendment, now known as House Joint Resolution 3, no longer follows party lines. Its strongest opponents include some Republicans and some of their traditional allies in the corporate world.
Engine maker Cummins Inc. and the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly have come out staunchly against the amendment. Officials from both companies argued again Monday that even the threat of an amendment is hurting their recruitment of young professionals who put a premium on diversity.
Jeremy Wentzel gave voice to that narrative Monday. A former student body president of the private Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Wentzel described himself as a "proud, conservative Republican" who is gay.
As a high school senior in rural Brown County, Wentzel said he competed for a college scholarship that required him to say whether he'd stay in the state. His response was that he loved Indiana and dreamed of one day running for Congress in the district that includes his hometown.
His answer is different now.
"Unfortunately, things aren't as welcoming as I had hoped for," he said. "… I can be a young conservative anywhere. But when it comes to being a young gay conservative – with a strong family and being married – that means I can't be a Hoosier right now."

Truck market size in Brazil
2010 was a record year for the commercial vehicle market in Brazil. Quickly bouncing back in 2009 after the financial crisis, heavy-duty vehicle sales increased by 37% and medium-duty by 21%. Production levels in 2011/12 are forecast to remain high, apart from a small dip in production and sales during 2012 due to the pre-buy of P7 vehicles in 2011. Overall, the automotive market is expected become the 5th largest in the world by 2016.
Legislative situation and fuel quality
PROCONVE P7 for heavy duty on-road vehicles was introduced in January 2012. P7 is based on Euro V standards, and also introduces a limit on ammonia emissions of 25ppm. The new regulation follows on from PROCONVE P5, skipping over PROCONVE P6 completely, which was set to be implemented in 2009 but cancelled due to unavailability of low-sulphur fuel. The first regulations for non-road vehicles in Brazil, PROCONVE MAR-1, is set to come in force from January 2015.
Fuel quality
Without high-quality diesel that is low in sulphur, stricter emissions regulations, like PROCONVE P7, cannot be met. The ANP (National Petroleum Agency) is responsible for ensuring S50 diesel is available throughout Brazil from January 2012, and S10 will be available from 2013. A strong production and distribution network is required to meet these requirements, especially given that S500 and S1800 will continue to be available until their production is phased out in the coming years.
Market challenges
The implementation of PROCONVE P7, the introduction of S50 diesel, and developments in diesel emissions technologies worldwide present a series of challenges for the Brazilian market to overcome. PROCONVE P5 did not require the use of an aftertreatment system, but now OEMs will have to choose technology to comply with PROCONVE P7. A strong network to produce and distribute S50 diesel is also required throughout the country, while continuing capacity to produce S500 (indefinitely) and S1800 (until 2014).
In last year's hugely successful ARLA 32 Forum, stakeholders from across South America and around the world gathered to discuss the implementation of a solid ARLA 32 market in Brazil. Our audience heard experts from North America and Europe on the unique challenges they have experienced, and discussed the need for creating a solid infrastructure to serve a rapidly increasing demand.
The introduction of PROCONVE P7 in January creates a real need for ARLA 32 in Brazil. 2012 will be the year when planning is put into action, and stakeholders move quickly to secure their part of the profits on offer.
However, challenges including the size and set up of the required ALRA 32 infrastructure and regulation on ARLA 32 quality still remain unsolved. These challenges must be overcome before true profits in this market can be realized.

|Defending champion Keselowski could miss Chase
|Monday, July 01, 2013 9:46 PM
Associated Press
Tony Stewart's defense of his 2005 championship doesn't look so bad on paper and it sure seemed to be soaring during his laborious celebratory fence-climb following his July win at Daytona.
It was his second win of the 2006 season and it pushed him to fifth in the championship standings. Little did he know that hot summer night atop the flag stand would be his crowning achievement of the year.
Disastrous finishes in the next two races dropped Stewart to 11th in the standings with only seven races to recover. It was too big of a hole and Stewart stunningly became the first defending NASCAR champion to miss the cut for the Chase for the Championship in what was then a 10-driver field.
In true Stewart fashion, he didn't go out with a whimper: Stewart won three of the 10 Chase races but wasn't eligible to challenge Jimmie Johnson in what became the first of Johnson's five consecutive Sprint Cup titles.
Now here we are, seven years later, and another defending champion is in a similar hole.
Brad Keselowski heads into Saturday night's race at Daytona ranked 13th in the standings and winless this year. He's got nine races left to claim a berth in the 12-driver field and is among a handful of elite drivers jockeying for the final few spots in the Chase:
— Keselowski: BK had three wins at this point last season but finds himself on the outside looking in after Sunday's disappointment at Kentucky, where he had hoped to repeat last year's victory. His problems Sunday started 48 laps in the race — so early that Keselowski said "there is no reason to drive like an animal" — when Kurt Busch drove on the apron, then shot back up the track into traffic and into Keselowski.
It created a messy accident that stopped the race for nearly 20 minutes and it dropped Keselowski four spots in the standings to 13th. To earn a Chase berth, he either needs to be ranked inside the top 10 in points, or needs wins to be eligible to claim one of two wild card spots.
Crew chief Paul Wolfe knew the ramifications the moment Busch hit the No. 2 Ford.
"We were just holding onto the top 10 there and we were one bad race away from falling out," he said after the race.
There is an upside to Keselowski's situation. He is only 14 points behind 10th-place driver Joey Logano, his Penske Racing teammate. That's not bad considering the No. 2 team has been docked 31 points this year in a pair of NASCAR penalties. If Keselowski still had those points, he'd be ranked eighth.
But he doesn't have those points and has two months to make up the difference.
— Busch: The 2004 champion is in the second year of trying to resurrect a career that fell apart when his anger issues cost him his job at Penske Racing. He's doing it now with Furniture Row Racing, a single-car team that's not supposed to challenge for a Chase berth.
But Busch is in decent shape at 14th in the standings and only 16 points out of 10th. He's gotten there behind four finishes of seventh or better in the last six races, including Sunday, when he managed to come back from the early incident on the apron to finish sixth. All told, Busch has seven top-10 finishes this season and has climbed from six spots in the standings in three races.
"We came through when we needed to and had another good points day," said Busch. "We're creeping up in the points and need to avoid major slips in the next nine races."
— Stewart: The 3-time champion won at Dover last month and that victory is enough to make him eligible for a wild-card berth.
But his situation is shaky because he's tied with Aric Almirola for 16th in the standings and he could find himself locked out. It's a real possibility considering Martin Truex Jr. and Greg Biffle, who have one win each, aren't securely inside the top 10 and Kasey Kahne is 11th with just one victory.
Working against Stewart is that he really hasn't been running all that well this season. The No. 14 team had only one top-10 finish before Memorial Day. He was seventh at Charlotte and won at Dover for his first back-to-back top-10s all year. He carried the momentum into Pocono and Michigan with a pair of top-5s and he'd suddenly climbed from 21st in the standings to 10th.
But the last two weeks have been two steps back, with a 28th at Sonoma and a 20th-place finish Sunday.
"Not the greatest showing but we did what we could with it," he shrugged.
— Denny Hamlin: He's never missed the Chase since his 2006 rookie season but time is running out on Hamlin's comeback story this year.
In fairness, a compression fracture in a vertebra in his lower back sidelined him for four races and likely cost him any chance at the Chase, anyway. But he returned determined to grab a wild-card. He finished second at Darlington in his first full race back, then won the pole at Charlotte and finished fourth to go from 31st in points to 24th.
He won the pole the next week at Dover but a crash ended his streak of top-5 finishes. He was also wrecked at Sonoma and had a hard hit Sunday at Kentucky. Now he's 25th in points and must win over the next nine weeks to keep his Chase hopes going. At this stage, it will likely take him at least two wins to make it happen.
Team owner Joe Gibbs dismissed talk of Hamlin getting out of the car anytime soon to fully heal, insisting the goal is to salvage the season.
"I think Denny wants to stay after it and we have a chance to get some wins," Gibbs added. "Who knows what's going to happen? We could get hot. I know he'll be the favorite at several of these race tracks we have down the stretch over these next nine weeks. Who knows? Maybe a miracle in there. You can't have a great comeback unless you're behind, so we'll just go after it and do the best we can. He's got a good attitude and we'll keep swinging."
NASCAR drivers like results at Indianapolis test
INDIANAPOLIS — Jamie McMurray and Juan Pablo Montoya like what they've seen from the new Cup cars at Indianapolis.
On Monday, the two former Indianapolis winners joined a growing list of test participants who have raved about everything from handling to quicker speeds to tire wear on the 2.5-mile oval that has often caused so much consternation for NASCAR drivers.
"Our car has been quick at a lot of tracks where it has not been really fast in the past and the testing has been pretty good today," said McMurray, who won the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400 in 2010. "It's our first time here with this car and it seems like some of the setup stuff is a little different from what we've been doing here the last couple of years."
McMurray and Montoya are part of a small contingent — five cars from the Cup Series and four from the Nationwide Series — that is testing at Indy through today.
Also testing was Denny Hamlin, who was cleared to drive Monday morning after a hard crash Sunday at Kentucky. After the race, Hamlin complained of headaches but Indy's medical team found nothing that would prevent Hamlin from climbing into the No. 11 car and turning laps in excess of 200 mph. Neither Hamlin or his team took questions.
With cool temperatures, overcast skies and light winds, the weather was ideal for top speeds, though rain postponed most of the scheduled afternoon session.
But the common them coming out of all the tests at Indy is this: The new car is outperforming the old one.
On a warmer, sunny day in April, Jeff Gordon and Trevor Bayne walked off the track and said they were impressed with the way the cars handled in those conditions, too, and both noted that even the tire wear was better than usual. That's become a recurring question since the 2008 race turned into a series of short sprints when tire problems brought out so many cautions.
Goodyear, the series' tire manufacturer, has since softened the tire compound, which produced far better results. That part hasn't changed.
"They've figured it out," said Montoya, who won the 2000 Indianapolis 500. "The grip level is really good today."
Will that be the case in hotter conditions? The Brickyard 400 has traditionally been one of the hottest races in the series.
One possible solution to the heat is adding lights at the speedway, either permanent or temporary. Speedway officials believe running in the cooler nighttime temperatures could make the race better and perhaps boost attendance, which has been dwindling since the 2008 tire fiasco.
Most Cup drivers who have come through Indy, including McMurray, seem to embrace the thought of running Indy's first night race.
"I think if they do that, it would be for the fans. I'm not sure from a driver's perspective that it would be that much different," McMurray added. "But if they do that, I think it would be great."
FIA allows in-season testing over tire trouble
LONDON — Facing a revolt from teams over exploding tires at the British Grand Prix, Formula One's governing body allowed in-season testing on Monday to allay safety fears.
Jean Todt, the International Automobile Federation president, revealed in a statement the young drivers test scheduled for July 17-19 at Silverstone would be open to all F1 drivers, although Mercedes would be excluded after it was reprimanded for holding unsanctioned tire tests in May.
Todt announced the unprecedented move — in-season testing was banned in 2009 over cost concerns — follows Sunday's race where tires exploded on four cars including Lewis Hamilton's and Felipe Massa's.
"Our priority is to ensure safety for all in Formula One and we believe the incidents at Silverstone represent a genuine safety concern for the drivers," Todt continued. "We have thus taken the decision to alter the young driver test to allow teams to use drivers they deem fit to carry out tire development work in a bid to solve the problems we saw at the British Grand Prix. I believe it is fitting to carry out this work at the circuit upon which the issues were manifested."
Todt added he would seek approval to amend FIA regulations to allow changes in tire specifications without the approval of all teams — addressing a concern that some teams in the past have stymied efforts to make changes during the season.
He also called for F1's sole provider of tires, Pirelli, to offer "assurance that there will be no repetition of the tire problems at this weekend's German Grand Prix or at subsequent grand prix."
The move to allow testing comes a day after drivers nearly crashed after their tires blew while racing at speeds upward of 180 mph.
The sight of large chunks of debris showering cars and, in one case, a huge strip of rubber flying across the track, almost led to the race being called off and prompted concerns F1 was sacrificing safety for excitement.
"Our greatest concern revolves around safety," Massa, who was nearly killed when hit by a piece of debris at the Hungary GP in 2010, said on Sunday. "It's unacceptable having to drive knowing you are not safe. Even if, luckily, nothing serious happened, what we saw is very dangerous."
Pirelli was investigating the problems but ruled out a new bonding process for the tires that was introduced ahead of the British GP.
The company has been called to a meeting on Wednesday in Germany of team sporting directors and the FIAbut had no information on the testing.
"There have been obviously some issues with rear-left failures which we have not seen before," Pirelli motorsport director Paul Hembery said. "We are taking the situation very seriously and we are currently investigating all tires to determine the cause as soon as possible ahead of the next grand prix in Germany."
The tire trouble at Silverstone is the latest controversy to hit F1's sole tire provider, which has come under fire over concerns its tires are wearing down too quickly and leading to races being decided by pit stops rather than action on the track.
It was reprimanded along with Mercedes for holding unsanctioned testing in May in a bid to improve the safety of its tires.
With the German GP this weekend, several teams on Sunday called for Pirelli to quickly sort out the problem.
"We had five tire failures here. Lots of people have a lot of theories about what that is, whether it is fatigue failure or puncture caused by debris," said McLaren's Martin Whitmarsh, who heads the F1 teams' association. "We have been lucky that no one has been hurt."
Whitmarsh suggested going back to the 2012 tires, while 3-time F1 champion Jackie Stewart said the FIA should lift the ban on in-season testing immediately so that all teams can test their tires this week.
He went even further, suggesting the time may have come for eliminating pit stops altogether and introducing a tire that can last an entire race — rather than the current situation that requires two or even three stops.
"We don't need to have pit stops to make motor racing exciting," Stewart added. "We can have tires that will do the full distance in order to get the safety element in place. If we have to make stiffer tires, a heavy tire, a bigger tire, let's do that and have no pit stops if that is what it takes to get over this hurdle.
"If we went into another grand prix or two and saw this happening again and something really nasty were to happen, we would never forgive ourselves for not doing something."

Attic assailant
NORTH RICHLAND HILLS — Three-year-old Jayden Muñoz won't go anywhere without his plastic toy gun. When you hear what happened, you'll understand why.
Anthony Muñoz, Jayden's dad, said they were confronted by an armed robber Monday afternoon at their North Richland Hills home.
"He grabbed [Jayden] by his arm. 'If he moves or you move and I don't get no money, he will get shot,'" the elder Muñoz recounted.
Police have identified that suspect as 22-year-old Jeffrey Long of Fort Worth.
Muñoz said he caught the suspect prying off his window air conditioning unit with a crowbar, attempting to break in. He said the suspect then pulled a gun on him, and eventually, his son, who was inside the residence in the 7100 block of Shauna Drive.
After giving the suspect cash and a cell phone, the elder Muñoz took his son and bolted in their truck. The suspect fled, too.
Police swarmed the area and searched homes and yards for the intruder. Three schools in North Richland Hills — Snow Heights and Mullendore elementaries, and North Richland Middle School — were told to shelter in place.
But police couldn't locate the suspect, so neighbor Jacob Lee said police cleared the scene and left.
Shelter in place was called off at 3 p.m. Monday, about 90 minutes after the initial crime was reported.
But a few doors down, one neighbor felt something wasn't right, even though his house had been searched. He called over some neighbors — including Lee — to help investigate.
His hunch was dead-on.
"We found [the suspect] in the attic, and he kicked a hole in the attic and ran out the front door," Lee said.
He left a huge, gaping hole in the ceiling, and insulation all over the floor. Long had apparently been hiding in the attic — possibly for hours — until he kicked through the plasterboard and made his dramatic drop from above.
But this story doesn't end there.
Half-a-dozen neighbors then chased Long down the street. They said he jumped into a woman's car at the intersection of Holiday and Oakland lanes. They were able to hold the man at bay until police arrived to arrest him.
Jeffrey Long is facing charges that include aggravated robbery and aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His bond will be set Wednesday.
The accused criminal has taken away the sense of security for an entire neighborhood — especially little Jayden Muñoz.

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) -- The Minnesota Vikings are reeling from another embarrassing performance.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said Tuesday that he wouldn't change his decision to start Josh Freeman at quarterback against the New York Giants on Monday night. Freeman struggled through a 20-for-53 passing night in the 23-7 loss.
Frazier says he felt confident that Freeman had enough time to learn the offense and prepare for the job despite being with the team for just two weeks. The coach said he thought Freeman's throwing mistakes were mechanical, not mental.
Frazier also said Freeman will still be the starter this week, when the Vikings host the Green Bay Packers.

INDIANAPOLIS — By the time the NFL draft rolls around on April 28, the number of prospects who could be taken No. 1 overall is likely to be whittled down to a few. Da'Quan Bowers certainly will be one of them.
"It's definitely a goal," Bowers said of being the first player chosen this year. "I don't think anybody here doesn't have the goal to be the No. 1 pick."
The Clemson defensive end was speaking of his fellow players at the NFL Scouting Combine, where he addressed the media Saturday. In particular, he discussed the two guys most likely to be competing with him for the top spot.
"You couldn't go wrong with Cam Newton or Nick Fairley," said Bowers of Auburn's quarterback and defensive tackle, respectively. "Both of those guys are tremendous players."
But unlike the duo from the 2010 BCS champions, the 6-3, 280-pound Bowers will not bring a lofty ego to an NFL franchise looking to find a major building block for the future. That's just one of the reasons he believes he deserves to be the first player off the board.
"I think I can bring a lot of good things to the team," he said. "You can get a pass-rushing defensive end, a humble guy, a guy with great character, a guy who is going to work hard, a guy that is going to go about things the right way and a guy who is willing to compete with anyone anywhere."
Although an offseason knee scope to repair a meniscus tear will force Bowers, PFW's No. 1-ranked prospect overall and the winner of the 2010 Nagurski Award as the nation's best defensive player, to skip all events at the Combine, he says will be at full strength to work out at Clemson's pro day on March 10. It will be then that he will try to prove to teams that he can be the second coming of Julius Peppers, the player with whom he compared his skills Saturday.
Just as Peppers excels coming off the edge, Bowers does the same, as is evidenced by his nation-leading 15½ sacks this past season. He explained why that's one of his strengths.
"Because I watch a lot of film and am very fast and very powerful," he said. "I study offensive tackles a lot, I try to study tendencies. I try to look at their feet to notice things — if they are going to pass or they are going to run — just being a student of the game."
After he stood out in only one of his three seasons at Clemson, there are still doubts about whether Bowers has what it takes to be a superstar in the pros. But if he can shine at his pro day the way he did during 2010, he very well could rise above the other Tigers to become a Panther in two months.
