Having all four of your team's cars finish within a half-second of the lead usually amounts to a darn good day.
That was undoubtedly the case for Hendrick Motorsports on Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway, which had the winner (Jimmie Johnson), his loyal pusher (fourth-place Dale Earnhardt Jr.) and the third-place finisher (Jeff Gordon).

Other than Mark Martin becoming barely unhooked from Gordon's bumper at the last second and finishing eighth, it was a pretty stellar day for Hendrick Motorsports all the way around.
"We have a collective group of guys at Hendrick Motorsports that work on our superspeedway program, and they do a fantastic job of putting a very good product out there," winning crew chief Chad Knaus said. "...You know, we have been working a while to try to get to where we could get the drivers to really commit to one another and work together."
And they did on Sunday. The 1-3-4-8 finish gave Hendrick an average result of 4.0, which led the way among all the major teams of three or more cars.
Here's a look at the rest:
Richard Childress Racing (average finish: 8.75)
Sunday was a pretty decent day for Richard Childress Racing, as the team's ECR-powered cars once again showed how strong they are at restrictor-plate races.
But given how random circumstances and situations dictate the finishes, just the slightest bit of timing kept Childress' day from being great.
Clint Bowyer was second, the loser of what tied the closest finish in NASCAR history.
"That sucks!" Bowyer said. "It's never very good to know you made NASCAR history by losing. Sooner or later, I need to start making history by winning. That guy (Johnson) has won enough."
Kevin Harvick was right behind Bowyer in fifth, though Paul Menard (12th) and Jeff Burton (16th) fell back a bit at the end of the race.
Roush Fenway Racing (average finish: 22.0)
Talladega was a split decision for Roush Fenway Racing: Two cars finished in the top 10 and two cars finished outside the top 35.
The drafting tandem of Carl Edwards and Greg Biffle made it four-wide at the finish on the very outside lane, but their charge came just a bit too late. As a result, points leader Edwards finished sixth and Biffle was seventh.
The news wasn't as good for Matt Kenseth (36th) and David Ragan (38th). Both drivers were caught up in accidents – Ragan's may have started with an engine failure – and thus had disappointing results.
Joe Gibbs Racing (average finish: 22.7)
After eight races – with nearly a quarter of the NASCAR season gone – Joe Gibbs Racing's struggles are still a head-scratcher.
Bad luck seemed to be the problem again on Sunday. Joey Logano accidentally spun teammate Kyle Busch, who wrecked and finished 35th. The same incident also got Denny Hamlin out of shape, and Hamlin eventually finished 23rd – another lackluster result for last year's Chase runnerup.
Logano, who has struggled to put together a good finish all year, was the team's top performer on Sunday. He finished 10th.
Is this team's luck going to change? Or is it perhaps just not JGR's year?
Being part of the eight-car cluster at the Talladega Superspeedway finish line on Sunday paid big dividends in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings, with several drivers gaining two or more spots.
The results of the Talladega race left Kevin Harvick as the week's big winner – despite a fifth-place finish – as he jumped five spots in the standings. Harvick, who has already won two races this season, is now fourth in points.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. also made a nice gain (moving from sixth to third in the standings), while race winner Jimmie Johnson and runnerup Clint Bowyer gained two spots apiece.
Carl Edwards, who was also part of the finish-line cluster, remained the points leader for the second consecutive week.
It was also a good day for Joey Logano, whose 10th-place result moved him up four spots to 24th. But Brad Keselowski and Matt Kenseth had a race they'd like to forget – their finishes dropped them five spots each.
Here are the updated NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings after Talladega:
Some fans felt Jimmie Johnson passed below the yellow line en route to his victory at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday, which would make his winning move illegal.
Did he?
Before you watch the replay below, keep this in mind: Johnson would have had to not only go below the line, but improve his position (make a pass) while he was down there.
Check out the replay, then decide:
Before every race at Daytona and Talladega, drivers are warned: Do not pass below the yellow line. So did Johnson pass Martin while he was down there? What do you think?
After the race, Johnson said he hadn't seen a replay yet and had no idea whether he was below the line or not – he was watching the cars to his right in order not to cause a wreck.
Officially, NASCAR senior vice president Steve O'Donnell tweeted that Johnson's move was legal.
@odsteve: Great finish, we don't see any evidence of 48 gaining a position below yellow-sorry if you disagree
Said Johnson: "I don't know where my left-side tires were, but I've heard that a statement has been released and everything is cool. So I'm glad I'm not sitting here having to worry about that."
Dave Blaney's hands were still shaking 15 minutes after the race, his mouth occasionally giving the hint of a quiver after what had to be one of his greatest days at Talladega Superspeedway – but also one of the most disappointing at the same time.
One can only imagine the range of emotions flowing through Blaney after finishing 27th in the Aaron's 499, despite leading as late as five laps to go.
It all went south when his drafting partner Kurt Busch gave an ill-timed bump, sending Blaney spinning as the race stayed green.
"It's just disappointing when you could have accomplished something pretty nice," Blaney said. "You had the car to do it, in position to do it – and just didn't make it at the end. So that's disappointing."
Blaney said all the team could take from it was "a morale booster." Just minutes earlier, even a top-10 finish would have seemed like a letdown from where he was running.
And now this: 27th place.
"It was just the wrong spot, and (Busch) just had me going and around we went," Blaney said. "That is what is going to happen late in the race. I can't believe it didn't happen more. You just get such huge runs, it shoves you in there and if there is nowhere to go, you're in danger of getting turned around."
Busch apologized for being a part of so many wrecks – he spun three different drivers on Sunday – but that won't help Tommy Baldwin Racing very much.
"I've been doing it so long, it is what it is," team owner Baldwin said. "We showed everybody we're capable of doing this, and that's the encouraging thing. This speedway stuff is not easy, and we showed we belong in this series today."
The lack of much-needed points will continue to sting, though. Because Andy Lally finished 19th, Baldwin's No. 36 car actually lost ground in its quest to get back into the top 35 in owner points.
If the team had been 36th heading into Richmond – ahead of Lally and the TRG Motorsports car – Baldwin's team would have been in the show because the Wood Brothers are skipping the next three races. Instead, the No. 36 car is nine points behind the No. 71.
"Now we've got to qualify," Baldwin said, smacking his hip and gesturing in frustration. "We run up front all day, and (Lally) runs in the back and beats us. That's the most aggravating thing out of it all. But we showed the world today we can run, so I'm happy about that."
In the future, though, Baldwin said he hoped Blaney's good runs at both Talladega and Daytona would assure the team drafting partners. TBR builds all of its own cars and gets engines from Earnhardt Childress Racing Technologies.
Blaney said he hoped he'd reflect on his race as "a really nice accomplishment for a little team."
But, he added with a laugh, "I don't know how I'll feel about it tomorrow."
Standing on pit road at Talladega Superspeedway after the latest in his string of good finishes, Dale Earnhardt Jr. saw Jimmie Johnson driving toward him, about to make the turn to Victory Lane.
Earnhardt Jr. bolted from a pack of reporters and jogged toward Johnson's car, then did a celebratory juke move as he approached the driver's side window.
He leaned into the car and shook Johnson's hand, and the winning driver handed the fourth-place driver the checkered flag.
"Man, I don't want that," Earnhardt Jr. said.
"Well, I gotta give you something for the push and working with me!" Johnson replied.
"No, that's what teammates do," Earnhardt Jr. said.
"Just take the damn flag," Johnson said, laughing.
Earnhardt Jr. took it reluctantly – but happily – and said though he didn't agree he deserved it, he'd find a place for it in his trophy case.
"I appreciate it and I'll get him to sign it," Earnhardt Jr. said. "It'll be the one checkered flag I got that ain't mine."
Johnson was pushed to the finish line – in what tied the closest finish in NASCAR history – by a teammate who Johnson said "was committed – as was I."
"It could have gone either way if we were single file," Johnson added, "but the way the race unfolded, the leader had the spot. And he pushed me to victory."
Earnhardt Jr., who had been a critic of the two-car draft style of racing, said working with Johnson all day "actually made the race tolerable and actually somewhat fun at times."
He had decided to be completely committed to Johnson – his teammate in Hendrick Motorsports' 48/88 shop – after the Nationwide Series race on Saturday.
In that event, Earnhardt Jr. had separated from JR Motorsports teammate Aric Almirola at the end – and had a less-than-satisfactory finish because of it.
"We all had commitment phobia – nobody really wanted to go all the way," Earnhardt Jr. said. "So I told (Johnson) today, 'We gotta stay committed no matter what happens. Every lap. Every restart.' And it worked out."
Earnhardt Jr. credited Johnson with picking all the correct lines at the end of the race, and the No. 88 driver just followed and pushed Johnson all the way.
"I was screaming on the radio for him not to lift no matter what," Earnhardt Jr. said. "(Spotter) T.J. (Majors) was screaming and Jimmie was screaming.
"(Jeff Gordon and Mark Martin) tried to squeeze us down, and I got into the side of Mark real hard and it turned us sideways, and I thought we were going to have a hell of a wreck. But I was able to save it somehow and had enough energy to push Jimmie to the win."
Of course, Earnhardt Jr. said he would have preferred to win himself – it's been 101 races without a victory now – but he was still pleased with the points. His fourth-place result moved him up three spots to third place in the standings.
"I would have loved to have won the race, but in this kind of package, you have to make some sacrifices," Earnhardt Jr. said, then added with a laugh: "Just like a relationship."
Talk about your great finishes: Jimmie Johnson got a push from Dale Earnhardt Jr. on the last lap of the Aaron's 499 to win the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Talladega Superspeedway by the thinnest margin in NASCAR history since the advent of electronic timing.
Johnson used Earnhardt's push to edge just in front of Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon at the finish line, and took the checkered flag by .002 seconds, or two thousandths of a second. It's the narrowest margin of victory in NASCAR history, tying Ricky Craven's win over Kurt Busch at Darlington in 2003.
That win clearly means something to both drivers, given what Johnson did after Earnhardt came to see him on the way to Victory Road:
And when Dale Earnhardt Jr. leaned in to congratulate him, @JimmieJohnson gave him winning checkered flag @TalladegaSuperS #NASCAR

What do you think of the two-car drafts? Will there be a "Big One?" Who will win?
Let's talk about those topics and more...now!
It's NASCAR race day at Talladega Superspeedway, and we've got the actual race start time, the starting lineup and some other facts about the Aaron's 499 race for you below.
Start time: The command to start engines will be given by national championship college football coach Gene Chizik (Auburn) at 1:08 p.m. Eastern time (12:08 local). That might be interesting, since the 'Dega stands will have many Alabama fans as well as Auburn fans. The actual start time of the race will be 1:20 p.m. Eastern. So if you want to skip the pre-race show and just tune in for the race itself, turn on your TV set at 1:20. Waving the green flag today is the winner of an Aaron's contest.
Race name/distance: The race is called the Aaron's 499 because the furniture rental chain offers some deals for $99 a month. Get it? "For" "99?" Actually, though, the race isn't 499 miles. It's 188 laps around the 2.66-mile track, which is 500.8 miles. But who's counting?
TV and radio: As for all of the races through May, FOX is televising the Aaron's 499. The radio broadcast can be found on your local Motor Racing Network (MRN) affiliate. Click here to see a list of MRN stations where you can listen.
National anthem: Someone named Ashton Sheppard is singing the anthem today. We're not familiar with Ashton, but Google tells us she's a country music singer.
Last time: In an amazing race that will be hard to top, Kevin Harvick beat Jamie McMurray to the line in last year's Aaron's 499. The race featured the all-time NASCAR records for both lead changes and different leaders. Last fall, Clint Bowyer beat Harvick in a Talladega race that ended under caution.
Starting lineup for today's Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway:
Just when you think Talladega Superspeedway's lottery-ball nature is sure to yield a surprise winner, here's Kyle Busch.
Busch won the Aaron's 312 under caution on Saturday afternoon, leading the pack with a push from Joey Logano as Mike Wallace flipped into the air to bring out a yellow on the white-flag lap of a green-white-checkered finish.
After getting hit and spun late in the race during a big crash, Busch somehow still rallied for a win – his fourth of the season already.
"Look at the thing!" Busch said incredulously in Victory Lane. "I got hit like three times on the left side. I thought it was killed!"
Added crew chief Jason Ratcliff: "It's the ugliest car we've ever had in Victory Lane. And it came in a restrictor-plate race."
Finishing under caution was an anti-climactic ending to a crazy race, which saw more of the two-car drafts that have recently become prevalent at NASCAR's restrictor-plate tracks.
Busch's winning move came via a bold pass through a narrow corridor of cars.
"I saw daylight," Busch said. "Somehow we made it through there. I didn't think it was wide enough for a car to fit through, but I made it wide enough for car to fit through. I closed my eyes, held my foot to the floor and prayed for the best."
Logano finished second, followed by the tandem of underdog Joe Nemechek and pusher Brad Keselowski, who showed the veteran plenty of respect.
"How about that for a small team?" said Nemechek, who has just four employees. "It was a cool race."
Elliott Sadler finished fifth, with Trevor Bayne, Justin Allgaier, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Reed Sorenson and Aric Almirola rounding out the top 10.
The race ended on the second green-white-checkered finish after the first attempt didn't last long.
A trio of Turner Motorsports cars were collected on an ill-timed bump, with Jason Leffler, James Buescher and Sorenson all involved.
Leffler, despite a 15th-place finish, took over the points lead.
There were a race-record 36 lead changes in Saturday's race.
Here are the full results for Saturday's Aaron's 312 at Talladega Superspeedway:
Apparently, Hendrick Motorsports has this whole restrictor-plate qualifying thing figured out.
At the first plate race since Hendrick swept the front row for the Daytona 500, Hendrick took all four of the top spots at Talladega Superspeedway on Saturday, resulting in a pole for Jeff Gordon.
Gordon (178.248 mph) led the way, followed by Jimmie Johnson (177.844), Mark Martin and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The pole was the 70th of Gordon's career, which moved him past Cale Yarborough for third on the all-time pole winners list.
"We knew our cars were good in practice yesterday," Johnson said. "It's good to see it show up on the scoring pylon today."
Talladega qualifying has long been known as one of the least important exercises in NASCAR – the starting positions at 'Dega have little bearing on the race – but Hendrick's qualifying dominance showed they have a good package, at the very least.
"Restrictor-plate qualifying is kind of fickle," Martin said. "I don't think you ever know until you get the lap in...but we're certainly pleased with that. I'm honestly, once again, humbled to be part of Hendrick Motorsports."
It was only the third time in NASCAR history that a team has swept all four of the top spots – Roush Fenway Racing most recently did it in 2005 at Fontana. Pete DePaolo also did it in 1956 at Charlotte, according to NASCAR.
Here's the starting lineup for Sunday's Aaron's 499 at Talladega Superspeedway:
Think about this, if you will: If Janet Jackson had never shown her boobies at the Super Bowl, would Dale Earnhardt Jr. be a Sprint Cup Series champion?
"Come again?" Earnhardt Jr. said Saturday. "Did you say, 'boobies?'"
Bear with me for just a second – or "bare," if you're Janet Jackson – before you dismiss the connection.
During halftime of the 2004 Super Bowl, Jackson infamously flashed one of her breasts at America – and the world. Ultimately, it prompted an over-reaction from NASCAR to show stock-car racing was a family-friendly sport, and NASCAR President Mike Helton warned drivers at the start of the 2004 racing season to watch their language (among other things).
Earnhardt Jr. didn't watch his language, though, after he won the 2004 Chase race at Talladega – taking over the points lead at the time – and was docked 25 points for saying the word "shit" in a Victory Lane interview.
"It don't mean shit right now – Daddy's won here 10 times!" Earnhardt Jr. said in a moment of exuberance when asked about where his win stacked up in his family's 'Dega history.
NASCAR's penalty knocked Earnhardt Jr. from the points lead, and he never led again. He ultimately finished fifth in the Chase that year, ending up 138 points behind champ Kurt Busch.
So that was my question: Did Earnhardt Jr. ever wonder if things would have gone differently had Jackson not shown her boobies on international television?
"Hell naw, man!" Earnhardt Jr. said, laughing. "That's a hell of a..."
...Stretch. Yeah, I know.
"I might have beat Mark Martin for position for points that year, that's about it," he said. "We sucked at Homestead and weren't going to be able to battle whoever won the championship that year. But me and Mark battled it out that day, for fourth in points."
Still, you never know. With two races to go that year, Earnhardt Jr. was behind by 47 points and trailed by just 72 heading into Homestead. Would things have been different if he'd had a fighting chance that day?
Anyway, it was clear Earnhardt Jr. had no ill will toward Jackson or her boobies – but there was something he was pissed about: The two-car drafts at Talladega.
During his media session on Saturday morning, he called the two-car drafts "silly," "strange," "a mess" and "crap."
"Everybody thinks it's cool now, because it's neat and everybody's like, 'Look what's going on,'" Earnhardt Jr. said. "Everybody's getting a big kick out of it. But over the long haul, man, it's not the best. It's not as good as 40 dudes in one pack racing like hell trying to get to the front. It's not anywhere as good as that! Give me that any day over this.
Earnhardt Jr. said when the novelty of the two-car drafts wear off, everyone will long for the big pack racing (and, by the way, I'm not so sure people aren't longing for it already). NASCAR's most popular driver said he didn't know how to change it, but said he wished someone would.
"I think NASCAR is doing what they think is right," he said. "I don't want to say what they're doing is wrong, because I don't know. I don't know whether I'm right or wrong. I just know what I prefer, what I like. It's my opinion. I'm entitled to one, everybody's got one."
Remember last week when Carl Edwards blamed his mom's cooking for his upset stomach at Texas Motor Speedway? On Friday at Talladega, Edwards told reporters he actually blamed his mother incorrectly.
As it turned out, his motorhome drivers ate the same food without having any stomach problems – and called Edwards' mother, Nancy Sterling, to tell her so.
"They called my mom and said, 'We ate the rest of that food and we're fine, so it wasn't your food,'' Edwards said. "So I had to apologize to Mom."
Edwards said his mother took the whole thing in stride, though.
"She thought it was pretty funny," he said. "She won't have to cook for anybody anytime soon. She's been offering everywhere she goes to cook for people and it's funny because they're like, 'No, that's OK.'"
Given the quality of the media center food at some tracks, though, Edwards' mother might be invited by reporters to cook for them at some point during the season.
I've never won a race. Odds are most of you reading this haven't either.
Sure, maybe you've beaten your buddies while go-karting or playing a racing video game. But have you ever wondered what it would be like to win a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race?
I asked Tony Stewart that question at Talladega Superspeedway on Friday. Here's what he said:
Your adrenaline is pumping the whole race. That's why guys, an hour after the race, are just tired – over it for the day. But especially at a place like this where the last lap, you don't know you've got it won until you get there...that anticipation is building and building, and the reason it's so suspenseful is you don't know until you get to the line whether you've got it or don't have it.
There's times when you win races and you've had a comfortable lead the last couple laps, and your heart rate is down because you're not being pressured. Here, you don't have that luxury. You're pressured all the way to the line and you don't know until you get there whether you've got it. You know how far you are away from it, so the anticipation keeps building.
So can Stewart remember everything about the finish of a race he wins, or is it all a blur?
You remember. You don't remember anything about the early part of the race, you remember the end that got you there and won you the race. It may be only a 100-foot section, but you remember all 100 feet and the move that got you to the line.
The rest of Stewart's interview session wasn't as cordial, but the feisty driver seemed to be in a good mood overall and was fastest in the lone Sprint Cup Series practice on Friday.
Could a win be in store for Stewart on Sunday?
The most races Jimmie Johnson has ever gone in his Sprint Cup Series career without winning a race is 19. But do you remember the last time Johnson won?
The answer was at Dover in last year's Chase. His mini-"slump" means Johnson has now gone 15 races without winning, which is tied for the second-longest drought of his career.
Johnson, though, said he's hardly worried that he has yet to win in 2011.
"I'm sure the question will be asked, and it's already swirling a little bit, but we're only six races into the season," he said. "I took that big trophy home at the end of last year, so I'm not too concerned."
This is Johnson's 10th full season in NASCAR, and there have been only three occasions where his first win of the year came later than the sixth race: 2002, 2003 and 2008.
Actually, make that four: 2011.
"I feel like we've been knocking on the door," he said. "We've had three real opportunities to win and made some mistakes. I'm responsible for two of the mistakes – one at Martinsville and one at California. Looking back, I could have done things a little differently to keep Kevin (Harvick) behind me at California."
But Johnson said he firmly believed that as long as he continued to run in the top five, "you're going to have your fair share of wins."
He also said his drought – which is tiny by the standards of most every other driver – shows how difficult it is to win in the Sprint Cup Series.
"We preach it all the time, how difficult it is to win races and championships," he said. "I don't know if people wanted to believe me, especially when we were on our roll. It is very, very tough to do. This year is proof of that to an even further extent."
NASCAR is on track beginning today at Talladega Superspeedway, starting with a Nationwide Series practice this afternoon.
If you're coming out to the track or just planning to watch practices or qualifying on TV, here's the full weekend schedule for Talladega (all times are Eastern; the track is on Central time):
4 p.m. – Nationwide Series practice (45 minutes)
5 p.m. – Nationwide Series final practice (1 hour)
12:10 p.m. – Nationwide Series qualifying
2 p.m. – Sprint Cup Series practice (45 minutes)
3:30 p.m. – Sprint Cup Series final practice (1 hour)
11:35 a.m. – Sprint Cup Series qualifying
3 p.m. – Nationwide Series race (117 laps, 311.22 miles)
1 p.m. – Sprint Cup Series race (188 laps, 500.08 miles)
(Note: ARCA is also having an event at Talladega, though the practice/qualifying times are not listed above. The ARCA race is Friday evening at 5 p.m. Eastern).
Someday, when the still-fresh track surfaces at Talladega Superspeedway and Daytona International Speedway begin to wear out and lose grip, pack racing will likely return to the restrictor-plate tracks.
Until then, it stands to reason that most plate races will look a lot like this year's Daytona 500 – two-car tandems hooking up and racing around the track like two dragonflies doin' it.
Since the Daytona 500 turned out to be pretty damn exciting, that's not such a bad thing. Sure, fans will miss the huge packs racing around together – but the two-car drafts bring a new element to the strategy of racing that has never been seen before.
It's synchronized racing at 200 mph. One spotter, two drivers, tons of negotiating and record-breaking numbers of lead changes.
Who will win this weekend at Talladega? If you know that, you might as well play the lottery.
It's anyone's guess what will happen in Sunday's Aaron's 499. And really, it could be a lot worse.

By Paul W. Barada
Rushville Republican
---- — A lot of attention is lately being paid to the problem of our slowly shrinking county population. All sorts of people have come to realize that the biggest challenge facing Rush County is turning around the slow decline in population and taking the steps necessary to increase the number of people living here.
The problem of population loss is not unique to Rush County. Many rural counties in this state are in the same boat. If the population keeps decreasing, the impact of fewer people living here will first be felt by our schools. If we don't take action right now to reverse the decline in the number of students attending Rush County Schools, it won't be long until we won't be able to afford the programs and equipment that make this a very good school system. The time will come when we'll have to face the horrible decision about closing schools, for example.
On the other hand, if we can turn the population slide around and more students start attending local schools, we'll be able to do even more to prepare them to lead productive, successful lives. But a declining student population is just the tip of the iceberg. Fewer people here will mean fewer people supporting local banks, businesses, churches, charitable causes, and nearly every aspect of life one would care to name.
There are two solutions to the problem of the downward drift in the population.
First, is creating more job opportunities that require post-high school training. The way it is now, all of us spend a lot of money educating local kids for somebody else's community. And the reason for it is a lack of good paying jobs. Second is lack of medium-priced housing. Although I'm prepared to be told I'm wrong, I'm not aware of a single housing development going on in Rush County. There just are no houses in the $130,000 to $230,000 range being built here. So, where do the people who have the good paying jobs live? They live in Shelbyville or New Castle or any of a number of other towns around here that have been able to attract home builders willing to start new housing developments. The obvious point is they don't live here!
So, there, in a nutshell, you have the solution to turning the problem of a declining population around – more job opportunities and more housing. Sounds simple enough to fix, doesn't it? Well, jobs and housing are far more difficult problems to solve in this community than one might think. For home builders to be interested in this community there has to be an unmet demand for housing. At the moment that demand doesn't exist – at least to the extent required for home builders to take notice of us yet. Even more difficult is landing businesses here that will employ local people with more than a high school education.
Ideally, to stop the population loss, both things need to happen at the same time – breaking ground for a new high-tech or med-tech business and breaking ground for a new housing development to provide medium priced homes for the people the new business will hire.
Some progress is being made, however. As soon as the weather permits, work on the infrastructure for the new industrial park-north will begin and the extension of 16th Street will also be underway. That makes turning things around almost a chicken or egg conundrum. If the city or the ECDC talks to a prospective industry, one of the first questions they'll ask is about housing availability. One of the first questions a housing developer will ask is about new job creation. That's why, ideally, both things should happen at the same time!
But more people living here is still the basic problem and should be the goal with the highest priority. At least that's the goal I would rank as most important to the future of Rush County. If we had the housing, we could attract people to live here, even if they work someplace else! And I can't think of a more ideal place for a new housing development than on the south side of 16th Street extended. It's a perfect area for medium priced housing – and that's all that should be allowed in that area. The last thing this county needs is more low-income housing or HUD Section 8 housing. Nor do we don't need more parking lots. We need people!
Actually, there's a third component to all this, and that's marketing this community to home builders and advanced manufacturing companies. The people in the Mays area, for example, are worried about the future of their school. If I were them, I would rally the troops and figure out a way to acquire about 10 acres on the edge of town. Then, I would divide those 10 acres into about twenty half-acre lots for housing. Finally, I would offer those half-acre lots to any family, willing to move to Mays and build a house, for free! I really would! The benefit to the Mays community of 20 new families – hopefully with kids – would more than offset the purchase of the 10 acres – and it would insure the survival of the school for years to come.
More people are the key to the future, not just for Mays, but for all of Rush County. The sooner we get on with the job, the sooner we'll stop the gradual downward slide in our population.
That's –30—for this week.

I just don't know anymore
Find a Conversation
|Tue, 04-21-2009 - 1:19pm
I must apologize first because this is very long, but I just had to get some advice on this.
I know what I need to do, but I am so lost at the same time.
Here is a little back story to help understand what I am dealing with. I found out a week ago about my H affair and I woke up from my dutiful wife coma. We have only been married for almost 2 years in May. Once I became a stay at home mother I pretty much took care of everything and did everything for my husband. While on his days off from work he would sit around and play xbox, computer games, or go out partying and drinking all night. I didn't say or do anything because he would always tell me how happy he was that I wasn't trying to make him stay home and that he was still married and could go out. But starting last year in August things started to get out of hand. He had just gotten back from a deployment that he mainly drank, sat by the pool, and flirted with lots of other girl. Where he did kiss another woman while there. He came home to a wife and an infant, but still wanted to party and drink a lot. I sat by hoping that he would just wake up or want to spend time with the family. Then we started to drift apart because he wanted to party still and I wanted to do family things. We have constantly been arguing and it is over the smallest things. I am going back to school online full time, taking care of our daughter (just me since he will only do something if I tell him to) and keeping the house clean (which is a constant battle because he never cleans). I am working 24 hours and 7 days a week with no breaks or rest. I only ask for a little help and for him to take out the trash and all of a sudden I am the worst person in the world. The only reason I ask for help is because I am sick of taking care of everything and being some kind of maid while he is out partying and having fun. Which is when I think the EA started with a few girls he worked with. He always said they were friends but yet these girls never once introduced themselves to me and I had my gut feelings. One girl in particular he was really close with. He always said they were friends and he always invited her over to our house to hang out. At first she was nice and I gave her a chance, but I had a weird feeling about her and him. But he would always invite her over on his days off and here I was feeling like some maid and like I was the odd one out in my own home. So I told him that I didn't want her over anymore, then I got cussed out because he was trying to help me make a friend (we are stationed over in Germany) and that they were just friends. When his mother came to visit and we were gone for a few days he invited her over and took naked pictures of her in our house. He swears he didn't have sex, but I don't believe it. I had told him before I left that I didn't want her over to our house while I was gone, but he invited her over anyways. When we fought about the pictures he said he was sorry, but he apologized about taking the pictures. He did not feel bad about the fact that he totally disrespected me and my wishes about her coming over. After the A I was didn't trust him at all and told him that I didn't want him talking to her at all. I also told him that I only wanted he to go out with the guys 2 times a month. I was being very giving. He didn't want to stop talking to her because they are friends and he wants to know how she is doing. Well the next day he contacted her to try and get back a shirt he let her borrow. But did not even tell me he was going to contact her or that he did. I found out by checking his phone. When I confronted him he gave me that excuse and didn't even feel bad about going behind my back. Then on Saturday he got a call to go out and party and he told me he wanted to prove to me that he could be trustworthy. So I told him that he could do whatever he wanted. I was tired of trying to save a marriage when he apparently didn't want to. So of course he went out and then rolled in around 5 in the morning. I woke up and he wanted to talk about us. Then he told him that he would agree to going out once every 2 weeks. But he wouldn't give up having friends that are girls. Now don't get me wrong. I told him I wasn't comfortable with him having girls in his phone and him talking back and forth with them. I told him that I wasn't telling him that he could never talk to another girl ever. He can talk to them at work and if he sees them around then that is fine. But no more texting and calling back and forth. But he said he wasn't going to give that up. Funny thing because I later looked at his phone and he called that the OW while he was out partying. Also he said he would not go to a marriage counselor. They wouldn't tell him anything that he already knows. Then he told me he wasn't strong enough to end our marriage, so I had to be the one that decided it. I had to be the "strong one" that said it was over. So at that point I knew there was no point in trying to save our family. That is when I started the preparations for our separation and later a divorce. I just have to take our daughter back to the states and then I can apply for a divorce.
Now to where I am having a hard time with him. I moved into the other room and he got upset because "friends can still cuddle with each other." He is also upset because I don't lay his clothes out anymore for him. There are days when he is nice, but others when I can't depend on him at all. I asked for a little help with some of my homework and he ditched me to go help a friend that was a girl move furniture. I am so fed up and ready to move on because I deserve better. I know that I do. I told him today that I am going to prepare the rough draft of our separation paperwork tonight and he said what was my rush. It is like he thinks this is all some game and that I really won't follow through with it. It seems like he thinks I will give up and cave into his demands and life will go back to before. I am so stressed, exhausted, and confused with all of this. I know what I need to do and that is get the divorce. He just makes it difficult to get it done. One day he acts like he wants it then other days he acts like he doesn't. He has even admitted that he doesn't know exactly what he wants and that he is selfish. But I can't be a doormat anymore and live with someone that has no respect for me and can't even treat me like an equal.
Why is it that he can't do these 2 simple things? A marriage counselor and no talking to girls on his phone. But he says he won't change who he is for anyone. I just can't understand how someone can give up their family for going out and drinking and other women?

Your H is a VERY immature man. If it is too uncomfortable to be in the house w/him ,I would find a friend or relative to stay with. He will never change and you are young enough to start over. Think about yourself and your daughter ,now. It's great that you have school- something for yourself to focus on. He is a very destructive person. I would get counseling for yourself to help you become a stronger person and to feel good about your decision to leave. He has treated you horribly and will never respect you. You don't want to raise your daughter to think that this is the way a man treats his wife. Also, it's probably best not to try and reason or argue w/him. He just won't get it. Just do what you have to do to separate and leave(or have him leave.)The fact that he gets upset when you don't lay out his clothes anymore is pretty disgusting!
My H,after having 2 affairs, is fully committed to therapy,is transparent, remorseful and supportive(especially so now since my mother is dying) and desperately wants to repair our marriage. He feels terrible that I was so loving and he emotionally abused me and tells me it's all his fault-that his behavior had nothing to do w/me. This is the response of a H who is sincere. That's what you would need to have from your H and I'm afraid you're not going to get that. I told my H if he didn't do this for me the marriage was over and I kicked him out until he got the message. My therapist gave me the strength to do this and I feel so powerful and proud of myself for taking control of my life again.

To read about the "180" -
|Tue, 04-21-2009 - 4:23pm
Thank you all for the advice and support through this.
I am so glad that I found this website. I really feel alone sometimes, but when I get on here and read what others are going through it really makes me feel a whole lot better.
I will try the 180 thing. That is great advice. I have noticed how much more things have changed since I have stopped trying to work things out. I have also noticed that he has changed since I don't do things for him anymore.
I am doing my best to be as nice as possible so that I can get the paperwork all done up and get my stuff out of here. but once I am out of here I know that the divorce should be a lot easier. I am very fortunate that he is in the military, because if he doesn't want to sign the paperwork I can always call his commander and they will make him sign it.
I would agree that he is either lazy or wants to play the victim, I can't decide which one.
I am also scheduled to see a counselor this week to try and get some help for me. It will also help with our separation and having the military pay for the shipping and plane tickets back to my parents house.
Again I appreciate all the help from everyone. Thanks a million.

The securities, issued on Jan. 2, yield 1.4 times palladium's gains to a maximum of 14 percent with protection against 10 percent of losses and all capital at risk, according to a prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Sporting KC to host Manchester City in July
Sporting Kansas City will play host to Manchester City of the English Premier League in an exhibition game July 23 at Sporting Park, the club announced Tuesday.
Manchester City won the Premier League in 2012 and finished as runner-up in 2013.
It is in position for yet another top-five finish this year in the top professional soccer league in the world. Ticket information for the match will be released later.
"It is a pleasure to host a world-class club like Manchester City," Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes said in a news release. "It will be a great event not only for our fans, but our players as well to measure ourselves against one of the best teams in all of soccer."
Manchester City, founded in 1880, features 14 players that helped their respective countries qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup this summer.
Its trip to Kansas City will be part of a Summer in the Soccer Capital series, which begins in June with watch parties for the U.S. men's national team's World Cup matches.
"The whole team is looking forward to not only returning to the States this summer but also to playing in Kansas City for the first time," Manchester City forward Sergio Aguero said in a news release. "Having won the MLS title, Sporting Kansas City's reputation for being a formidable opponent is richly deserved."

We start off this week's pod with a bit of a chat about Breaking Bad's finale, and how nailing an ending becomes a different problem for a show that's always been about the plot. We then move on to Miley Cyrus's Bangerz, which is streaming this week and is the culmination of all her relentless and successful efforts to be our no. 1 pop cultural obsession. Does the music live up to the media circus? More importantly, is her collaboration with Nelly, "4×4," as good as it should be on paper?
Molly and Tess are all in on Bangerz, but Emily's been swayed by newcomer Lorde and her debut album, Pure Heroine. A brutal(ly friendly) debate ensues over whether Ella Yelich O'Connor can hang with the already crowded pantheon of female pop stars or if she's already put her foot in her mouth too many times, and how comfortable and optimistic we are with a 16-year-old rising to fame so quickly. While we're on the subject of terrifying child prodigies, we wrap up with MasterChef Junior's unsettling kid cuisine and the strangeness of seeing children in a competitive reality setting. Kids these days: making better pop songs and soufflés than they have any right to.

Interpreting the Federal Rules of Evidence: The Use and Abuse of the Advisory Committee Notes
Eileen A. Scallen
UCLA School of Law
June 1995
Loyola of Los Angeles Law Review, Vol. 28, 1995
William Mitchell Legal Studies Research Paper
The Federal Rules of Evidence (Rules) are just two decades old. The Rules were drafted with the goal of promoting predictability and uniformity in the admission of evidence in the federal courts. At the same time, the drafters wished to leave some flexibility and discretion in the administration of the Rules, rejecting the possibility that they could draft a code that anticipated every possible evidence problem that might arise. The by-product of codification, however, is the problem of interpretation. The United States Supreme Court and several commentators have struggled recently with the following question: How do we determine what the Rules mean when applying them to concrete cases? While I have addressed that question in a comprehensive manner elsewhere, this Essay focuses on an essential piece of the puzzle - the role of the Advisory Committee Notes in interpreting the Federal Rules of Evidence.

Asian stock markets ended mixed on Tuesday, with Europe once again testing nerves, while Tokyo shares took a pause from a recent rally.
Moody's Investors Service downgraded France's government bond rating by one notch late Monday to Aa1 from triple-A. The ratings agency cited economic challenges such as a loss of competitiveness and rigidity in the labor and services markets.
The euro fell to $1.2778, compared with $1.2813 late Monday in New York.
"The downgrade was not out of the blue," said Tim Waterer, senior trader at CMC Markets in Sydney. "Perhaps if there weren't so many other big events going on it might have grabbed more attention and caused more of a reaction."
Stocks started the day positive softened as the session progressed, supported by Monday's strong gains on Wall Street amid hopes that Washington will reach a compromise to address the fiscal cliff.
Stocks gradually softened as markets looked ahead to the next risk event in Europe. On Tuesday euro-zone finance ministers will meet to discuss whether they will release Greece's next tranche of aid.
The U.S. dollar was at ¥81.13, compared to ¥81.41 late in New York, after the Bank of Japan held rates steady, as expected.
"The macro picture is relatively OK, I would say. If I were to ask what is going to drive equity market performance in the coming months, it is probably not so much the macro picture, but the micro picture," said David Gaud, senior portfolio manager at Edmond de Rothschild Asset Management in Hong Kong. "This is where we need to further improvements to sustain the stabilization we have seen in the markets over the past few days," Mr. Gaud added.

Use this coloring page as part of a 'magnet hunt.'
Go around the house and find things that are magnetic. Circle the items on the coloring sheet that are attracted to the magnet and draw in any other items you found that are also magnetic.
A magnet is a solid object, usually a rock or piece of metal, that has the ability to attract certain materials. To help discover what is and isn't attracted to a magnet (in other words, what is magnetic), go on a magnet hunt. Look around the room and make a list of objects you think will be attracted to a magnet as well as a list of objects that will not be attracted. Test each of the objects on your list to see if they stick. (Don't use magnets on computers, cassette tapes, discs, and other electronic devices - it could damage the magnets inside of them!)

The Valley is home to immigrants from all over the world, and a large majority are from Spanish-speaking countries. With Harrisonburg having the top percentage of English as a Second Language students, Spanish is heard everywhere from the grocery store to the bank.
However, there is a growing trend for English-speakers, who are learning Spanish. As the Hispanic population increases in the Valley, so does the number of Spanish-speaking business owners, workers, and people around the community.
In order to communicate, the trend in the past was to have newcomers, such as those who speak Spanish natively, learn English. The current trend is a role-reversal where people who speak English are learning quick Spanish phrases to function better in the workplace and the community.
For Orlando Argueta from El Salvador, he had been living in the US for nearly eight years before he took his first English class.
"I don't have time to learn English. I hear a lot of people speaking, and I learn it a lot, but I think it wasn't enough. That's why I try to go to school and learn more," says Argueta.
Now in an advanced ESL class at Dayton Learning Center, Argueta says he feels confident enough to communicate with others in the community. It looks like the tables have turned however, and you may find just as many English speakers learning to speak Spanish in similar classes.
"Well, before I took any Spanish in college, which has been recently, it was very difficult, but now the mortgage market has all the forms in Spanish, the disclosures in Spanish and I'm more able to use that to converse with them," says Elizabeth Robinson, who works at Monroe Mortgage Company in Harrisonburg.
After working in her mortgage office for 23 years, Robinson wanted to learn Spanish, especially after the forms started coming out in half English, half Spanish.
She says, "It's much easier. I'm not as intimidated as much as speaking and worrying about making a mistake, because they will forgive you for your mistake because they know you are trying."
"I think it's good for them because they can find somebody who's not speaking English and speak to them in Spanish," says Argueta.
However, these classes are different than taking a college course. At Blue Ridge Community College, a class called Command Spanish is offered in which people learn phrases of Spanish useful at work instead of the traditional semester-based Spanish-language classes.
"You have the opportunity to learn maybe as many as 25 to 30 phrases in an eight hour time period, versus maybe a couple semesters of Spanish, learning how to speak a few phrases," says Patty Lotts, the coordinator of the BRCC Professional Development Programs and Small Business Outreach.
There are even custom classes geared toward particular professions to help English-speakers break the language barrier and communicate with Spanish-speaking customers.
"It is a necessity," says Robinson. "If you want to treat people fairly, you have to be able to communicate with them."
At the Dayton Learning Center, the conversational Spanish class meets for two hours a week for 12 weeks. At BRCC, for the first time, open enrollment for Command Spanish will be offered this semester, and the course runs for three weeks, with each session being about two hours.

Titans make master strokes
6:00pm Thursday 5th June 2014 in Sport
KIDDERMINSTER aces swimming for Ellesmere College Titans enjoyed a weekend to remember at the recent Swansea Long Course Open Meet.
Titans were named as the top club and earned 55 gold medals, 31 silvers and 18 bronze.
Holy Trinity student Eleanor Bainbridge, 10, was representing the club in competition for the first time but was not deterred as he stormed to six golds and four silvers from her ten events.
She smashed ten meet records, some of them twice, by swimming in five finals and set a swathe of new personal best times.
She won the 100m freestyle in one minute and 10.6 seconds, lifting herself to third in the UK rankings.
Victory in the 400m freestyle ( 5:11.06) leaves her second in the national standings.
There was also success in the 100m butterfly (1:18.19 MRec, 2nd in UK), 200m freestyle (2:29.63 MRec, 2nd in UK) and 200m individual medley (2:50.55 MRec, 2nd in UK).
Starting at Wyre Forest Swimming Club, she has been regularly travelling to Worcester and Coventry for elite training and now has decided to settle at Ellesmere Titans.
She is hoping this will assist her in taking the next step onto the national scene under the guidance of England Open Water coach Alan Bircher.
Eleanor will be moving to study at Ellesmere College in September to join elite swimmers from all four corners of the British Isles.
From the 94 swimmers in her division, Eleanor is ranked fifth in the 800m freestyle and eighth in the 100 butterfly.
Meanwhile, Wyre Forest pair Hayden Griffiths, 17, and Jacob Jackson, 15, were in good form at the Midland Championships.
Griffiths broke three records and secured golds in 200m and 50m, 400m individual medley.
Meanwhile Jackson recorded a well-deserved win in the 50 freestyle.

SlipperyWhenWet says...
Local swimming stars excel in Pool
Kidderminster aces swimming for Ellesmere College Titans enjoyed a weekend to remember at the recent Swansea Level 1 Long Course (50m pool) Open Meet with the club once again achieving the accolade of 'Top Club' taking home over 100 medals including 55 golds, 31 silver and 18 bronze together with top girl 'all stroke skins' girls champion and both top girl and boy points scorers. In addition 'Titans' members broke 49 Swansea Meet Records (MRec) together with 22 of their own club records and countless personal bests (pb's)
Bainbridge "just stunning"
Stunning performances came from many of the younger swimmers with ten year old 'Holy Trinity School' pupil Eleanor Bainbridge swimming under the mighty 'Titans' banner for the first time taking six golds and four silver from her 10 events also breaking 10 meet records some of them twice by swimming in five Finals and unbelievably 100% personal bests (pb's). Eleanor put in a great performances in the 100m Free (1:10.60) breaking a meet record and rising to 3rd in her end of year UK rankings repeating this feat again in the 400m free where again she rose to 2nd in the UK taking gold with 5:11.06, the 100m Fly (1:18.19 MRec & 2nd in UK) 200m Free (2:29.63 MRec & 2nd in UK) and 200m Individual Medley (2:50.55 MRec & 2nd in UK).
Eleanor's dedication to the sport with the undying support from her justifiably proud parents who were also swimmers to an extremely high standard is a feat to behold. Starting at the local club Eleanor has been regularly travelling to Worcester and Coventry for elite training and now has decided to settle at one of the fastest rising elite clubs in Great Britain at Ellesmere Titans to assist her in taking the next step onto the national scene under the guidance of England Open Water coach Alan Bircher presently in Mallorca with the National Squad. Eleanor will be moving to study at Ellesmere College in September to join elite swimmers from all four corners of the British Isles.
In the forthcoming English Midlands Age Group Champs over the first two weekends in June despite being in the 10-11 age group with 11 year old qualifying times ten year old Eleanor will be swimming in nine events, though she has actually qualified for even more. From the ninety-four swimmers in her division Eleanor is ranked 5th in the 800m free (16 lengths in long course 50m pool) and 8th in the 100m fly, a magnificent achievement in itself and bodes well for next year when she will be in the same division but in the 11 year age group and holds great medal potential when making the National Age Group Championships..
Two more Ellesmere Titans Hayden Griffiths (17) and Jacob Jackson (15) also reigning from the Kidderminster area continued their form from the Midland Youth Championships where Jackson became Midland Champion by setting meet records. Griffiths broke three in all from his four golds with 200m Breast (2:35.44 & MRec); 50m Breast (32.25 & MRec) and 400m IM (4:48.67 & MRec). Meanwhile Jackson recorded a well deserved win in the 50 Free with 25.80 in the 15 years and over division taking silver in ther 200m Fly (2:16.18).
Head Coach Alan Bircher stated "I was really impressed with how all the swimmers kept jumping on the blocks race after race and producing some outstanding performances. Also to regain the top team award was testament to the hard work this group of kids put in"

Kat Von D is a businesswoman, so after launching a successful make-up line at Sephora, it was only a matter of time before she came out with a clothing line. Recently, Von D gave us a sneak peek at her fashion line, which pays homage to her mom who made all of Kat's clothes growing up and taught her how to sew as a teen. She's been working on the collection for the past year and it features a wide variety of styles from cutout leggings to skirt suits, but they all have her signature rocker/burlesque vibe. The line should be available world wide in the Fall of 2011.

Gisele Bundchen's new campaign for Balenciaga was revealed and the bombshell Brazilian model looks radically different!
Her trademark beachy, long waves are replaced by a shoulder length choppy bob. Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière's sought to channel a punk spirit with his latest line and Bundchen is covered up from head to toe in the slightly androgynous Spring 2011 collection.
It's a far cry from her Victoria's Secret days, to say the least!

Tolerance My migraines, I believe, began when I was a child of 8 yrs. I started to have physical changes occur then that affected my hormone balance, so headaches became a problem. I never knew anything much about migraines till I was in my 20's. Now I've done some reasearch and think hormones play, in great part, on my headache status. Hormones and stress. Still doing reasearch so may amend this post at a future date. I take tylenol or acetaminaphine generic for these migraines. It usually helps but I'm reluctant to use them unless I'm at work. If I'm home I try to destress in some way rather than taking meds. The only thing that helps the visual auras I get, though, is tylenol. Nothing else has helped so far. I'm going to talk to my neurologist about meds in the future, however.
The Excedrin formula works but is too strong for my needs. I get jittery whether or not I take it alone or in addition to coffee, tea or cola.
