Profit-strangling weed is herbicide immune
Relevant offers
A giant buttercup that has yet to reach vulnerable Canterbury dairy pastures is not only costing farmers millions of dollars in lost revenue but has become a bigger threat after developing resistance to modern herbicides.
The bitter-tasting weed is avoided by cattle and has extended as far south as Tasman's Golden Bay, with the potential to spread to the east coast of the South Island, particularly on farms with irrigation.
AgResearch scientists are warning that nearly all of New Zealand is climatically ideal for the yellow-flowered weed and it is an internal bio- security risk to the dairy industry.
Group project manager Graeme Bourdot said the Canterbury Plains was among climatically suitable areas vulnerable to the weed, but some farms would be less exposed because they did not suffer from pugging which allowed it to quickly seed and become established in gaps in the soil.
He said the buttercup was a major problem for dairy pastures.
"I would rate it way up there as a dairy pasture weed. It's certainly one of the most significant dairy weeds in New Zealand," Bourdot said.
The buttercup is found in South Auckland, Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, South Wairarapa, Horowhenua and Tasman.
In Golden Bay, AgResearch worked out a model showing a $1040 loss in profitability from a typical infestation of the buttercup covering 12 per cent of a 100-hectare dairy farm split into 1ha paddocks.
The net $2870/ha profitability was reduced to $1830 in the study funded by DairyNZ.
About 98 per cent of the paddocks contained the buttercup, with the weed covering the worst by 40 per cent.
Earlier research showed giant buttercup cost Kiwi dairy farmers $156 million through lost feeding in the 2001-02 milking season.
Further modelling showed that, if the weed was to spread to all dairying regions, the total loss would be $328m to $748m a year.
Scientists believe the weed reached New Zealand from seed lines or on material from Europe arriving with early immigrants.
They have been researching the buttercup only since the mid-1980s and have yet to get a fix on the rate of its spread, although there is evidence in Golden Bay that it is most likely being carried and dispersed by farm machinery and stock. New studies by AgResearch technician Carolyn Lusk at Lincoln show giant buttercup is one of only a few pasture weeds worldwide to have developed resistance to herbicides,
Bourdot said this was a result of farmers inadvertently selecting plants for resistance by using the same herbicide for many years.
He said farmers were being recommended to mix herbicides, but there were only two modes of action and there was good evidence now that the weed was resistant to both.
"The dilemma is there isn't an alternative mode of action," he said.
Bourdot said scientists were looking at alternative herbicides in North America not available in New Zealand and this had provided some hope.
The other glimmer of light was there were reports of farmers controlling the buttercup with "bucket chemistry" by combining herbicides with pasture growth promoters.
AgResearch has plans to begin a new research programme testing alternatives next season, subject to securing funding.
The yellow flowering pest, peaking in bloom in November, has bypassed sheep paddocks.

MCX-SX asked to improve governance structure
MUMBAI (Reuters) - The Securities and Board Exchange of India (SEBI) has directed shareholders of the country's new MCX-SX stock exchange to resolve any conflicts of interest within its board and management team as a precondition for renewing the bourse's license.
In an order issued late on Wednesday, the regulator asked the MCX-SX shareholders to reconstitute its board and rejig its top management if necessary to improve governance standards within the stock exchange.
The order from SEBI comes after MCX-SX's affiliated commodity exchange, the National Stock Exchange of India Ltd (NSEL), abruptly suspended trading. NSEL has since struggled to square off outstanding contracts worth over 55 billion rupees.
SEBI did not elaborate on why it had issued the conditional approval. However a source at the regulator said the move was a direct consequence of the NSEL development and was aimed at preventing a similar situation on the stock exchange platform.
The regulator extended the exchange's licence for a period of one year beginning September 16 subject to its conditions being met. (For the SEBI order, see link.reuters.com/fyp92v)
SEBI also directed the exchange to form a committee of independent directors that will be responsible for overseeing financial transactions and management appointment at the bourse.
Financial Technologies (India) Ltd(FITE.NS), which ran NSEL, holds a 26 percent stake in Multi Commodity Exchange of India Ltd(MCEI.BO). Financial Technologies and Multi Commodity Exchange are the promoters, or founders, of the MCX-SX stock exchange.
MCX-SX, which goes by the tagline "India's new stock exchange," commenced equity trading only earlier this year and sold itself as an alternative to the National Stock Exchange and the Bombay Stock Exchange.
The regulator has asked MCX-SX's shareholders to report to SEBI its findings as well as remedial actions within 30 days from the approval.

Cricinfo staff
October 13, 2008
Dayle Hadlee, the former New Zealand fast bowler, and Mudassar Nazar, the former Pakistan batsman, have been recruited by the ICC to coach at the Global Cricket Academy (GCA) based in Dubai. They will work alongside Rod Marsh, the GCA's director of coaching, to help train and develop players from across the world when they take up their positions in early 2009.
Hadlee had previously been the head coach with the New Zealand academy. Nazar was the director of game development for the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and was involved with the National Cricket Academy in Lahore. They will design and implement specific elite programmes, provide coaching education courses, support grassroots development and work with local players to improve the standard of cricket across the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
"Dayle and Mudassar are two of the best academy coaches in the world," Marsh, the former Australia wicketkeeper, said. "I can't wait to start working with them in order to develop programmes that will help to improve cricket globally. We will have a great balance of coaching skills to offer every cricketer who comes to Dubai Sports City."
Hadlee, who played 26 Tests and 11 ODIs, said he was looking forward to his latest assignment. "The ICC Global Cricket Academy will be a spectacular facility that will provide the best environment to develop talent and participation in the sport," he said.
Nazar, who appeared in 76 Tests for Pakistan, said one of his targets was to improve the standard of cricket in the UAE. "This is a really exciting opportunity to work at the highest level of cricket coaching and development," Mudassar said. "I am looking forward to working with elite level players."

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Republican Michele Bachmann says she has $3.6 million in the bank as her presidential campaign enters its next phase.
Figures supplied to The Associated Press showed her available cash after fundraising and money transfers from her congressional campaign fund.
Bachmann says she collected checks from 88,000 donors over the last few months.
Small donors are a hallmark of Bachmann's fundraising efforts, rather than contributors who give the maximum. Bachmann recently brought aboard staff to focus on the big-dollar donors.
Bachmann has been toward the front of the pack in polls of early states and nationally.

United Guaranty income rises
Send this to a friend

- Email | Twitter | Google+ | LinkedIn
United Guaranty, the mortgage insurance arm of AIG, saw its pre-tax operating income jump in the second quarter to $210 million, up from $73 million a year earlier.
The Greensboro-based United Guaranty's results contributed to overall net income of $3.1 billion reported by the New York-based AIG (NYSE: AIG). The company's larger "Property Casualty" and "Life and Retirement" divisions also each saw higher operating income in the quarter.
For United Guaranty, the amount of new domestic first-lien mortgage insurance fell by 20 percent in the 2014 quarter from a year earlier, but underwriting income and earned premiums were higher and incurred losses were lower.
AIG will soon undergo a management change, as outgoing CEO Robert Benmosche will be succeeded by the current head of the property casualty business Peter Hancock. Hancock told analysts on the company's conference call that he foresees "no abrupt change in strategy" after he takes over Sept. 1.

Then $0.02 a minute inbound and $0.02 a minute outbound domestic. Also 3 year contracts seems to be normal with hosted. If it comes down to being super reliable and robust, then the price isn't a concern, but it seems steep as the company grows.

Body of gang rape victim cremated in Delhi; protests continue
NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The body of the 23-year old woman, whose gang rape provoked protests and rare national debate about violence against women in India, arrived back in New Delhi on Sunday and was cremated at a private ceremony.
Scuffles broke out in central Delhi between police and protesters who say the government is doing too little to protect women. But the 2,000-strong rally was confined to a single area, unlike last week when protests raged up throughout the capital.
Riot police manned barricades along streets leading to India Gate war memorial - a focal point for demonstrators - and, at another gathering point - the centuries-old Jantar Mantar - protesters held banners reading "We want justice!" and "Capital punishment".
Most sex crimes in India go unreported, many offenders go unpunished, and the wheels of justice turn slowly, according to social activists, who say that successive governments have done little to ensure the safety of women.
The unidentified 23-year-old victim of the December 16 gang rape died of her injuries on Saturday, prompting promises of action from a government that has struggled to respond to public outrage.
The medical student had suffered brain injuries and massive internal injuries in the attack and died in hospital in Singapore where she had been taken for treatment.
She and a male friend had been returning home from the cinema, media reports say, when six men on a bus beat them with metal rods and repeatedly raped the woman. The friend survived.
New Delhi has the highest number of sex crimes among India's major cities, with a rape reported on average every 18 hours, police figures show. Reported rape cases rose by nearly 17 percent between 2007 and 2011, according to government data.
Six suspects were charged with murder after her death and face the death penalty if convicted.

In Kolkata, one of India's four biggest cities, police said a man reported that his mother had been gang-raped and killed by a group of six men in a small town near the city on Saturday.
She was killed on her way home with her husband, a senior official said, and the attackers had thrown acid at the husband, raped and killed her, and dumped her body in a roadside pond.
Police declined to give any further details. One officer told Reuters no criminal investigation had yet been launched.
The leader of the ruling Congress party, Sonia Gandhi, was seen arriving at the airport when the plane carrying the woman's body from Singapore landed and Prime Minister Mannmohan Singh's convoy was also there.
A Reuters correspondent saw family members who had been with her in Singapore take her body from the airport to their Delhi home in an ambulance with a police escort.
Her body was then taken to a crematorium and cremated. Media were kept away but a Reuters witness saw the woman's family, New Delhi's chief minister, Sheila Dikshit, and the junior home minister, R P N Singh, coming out of the crematorium.
The outcry over the attack caught the government off guard. It took a week for the prime minister to make a statement, infuriating many protesters. Last weekend they fought pitched battles with police.
Issues such as rape, dowry-related deaths and female infanticide rarely enter mainstream political discourse.
Analysts say the death of the woman dubbed "Amanat", an Urdu word meaning "treasure", by some Indian media could change that, though it is too early to say whether the protesters can sustain their momentum through to national elections due in 2014.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon added his voice to those demanding change, calling for "further steps and reforms to deter such crimes and bring perpetrators to justice".
Commentators and sociologists say the incident earlier this month has tapped into a deep well of frustration many Indians feel over what they see as weak governance and poor leadership on social issues.
Newspapers raised doubts about the commitment of both male politicians and the police to protecting women.
"Would the Indian political system and class have been so indifferent to the problem of sexual violence if half or even one-third of all legislators were women?" the Hindu newspaper asked.
The Indian Express said it was more complicated than realising that the police force was understaffed and underpaid.
"It is geared towards dominating citizens rather than working for them, not to mention being open to influential interests," the newspaper said. "It reflects the misogyny around us, rather than actively fighting for the rights of citizens who happen to be female."

The beverage brand Tang is putting its weight behind a region-wide campaign to get children to do good for their less fortunately placed peers. The 'Kids Movement' encourages the donation of toys and will run across the region. They can donate by logging onto www.tangdogood.com, play one of three online games and earn points. The campaign aims to enter the record books as the world's 'largest toy donation' drive through handing over 30,000 toys. "We have always chosen responsible marketing for all our brands," said Vishal Tikku, regional managing director for Mondelez International, which owns the Tang brand.

Vandalism leaves Verizon customers in Reading without phone service
Updated On: Sep 19 2012 05:22:19 AM CDT
Hundreds of Verizon customers in Reading have been without telephone land line service for days.
"Our telephone land lines service from Verizon has been down since Sunday evening," said Franklin Haas, a Verizon customer.
When he contacted Verizon Communications about the outage, Haas said a customer service representative gave him a generic explanation about what caused the problem.
They just told us there's a major problem in the '610' area," said Haas, whose major concern is not for himself but for his elderly neighbors who have no other access to a phone in case of an emergency.
"It creates a hardship," said Haas.
Several area businesses on Morgantown Road were affected, as well.
"Our alarm system was affected. We did have a credit card machine and fax line go down," said Jesse Duffy, IT manager at Raylon Corporation. "We had a customer coming in who wanted to place an order and put it on their credit card. We couldn't take the credit card."
Since Sunday, Verizon said it has received 300 reports from customers about their land lines being down. Officials said a phone cable under the Bingaman Street Bridge, west of Lancaster Avenue, was cut. Crews were out Monday night trying to fix the vandalism.
By Tuesday evening, Verizon said, customers should have access to their land lines.
If you know anything about the vandalism, you can call Crime Alert Berks County with your anonymous tip, which could get you a cash reward of up to $5,000 if it leads to an arrest.

Clean Break: Clean energy tech thriving despite glitches
Clean energy technology isn't perfect, but it's still doing fine, despite what critics say.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
There was a clever headline in the satirical newspaper The Onion earlier this week that wouldn't be so humorous if it wasn't true.
"300 Million Without Electricity In India After Restoration Of Power Grid," the headline read.
The article was referring to the massive power outage across India Tuesday that cut electricity to 670 million citizens, the equivalent of two Americas going dark. Without question, it was the largest blackout in world history.
What was so witty about the headline was how it drew attention to another problem too often overlooked in India. Even when the existing power grid is working fine, there are still 300 million people in that country lacking access to electricity, meaning no basic necessities like refrigeration, lighting, or the appliances we westerners take for granted.
Considering India has the world's worst air pollution, as researchers at Yale and Columbia universities concluded earlier this year, The Onion's blackout story carries two important messages: One, the third of India without electricity could benefit tremendously from community-level investments in solar, wind and other non-polluting energy sources; second, the two-thirds who are connected to the grid will now be urging their local and national governments to modernize India's electricity system.
That usually means cleaning it up, making it smarter and more reliable, and investing in clean technologies — from Canada, perhaps — that make it more robust and efficient.
There are some commentators out there who like to point to very specific events as evidence that the clean energy and technology boom has gone bust. They point to the exaggerated Solyndra "scandal," which saw the bankruptcy of the solar manufacturing start-up after it received — and had already burned through — funding that was secured via a $535 million (U.S.) loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy.
It makes for great politics, but the reality is that companies do sometimes fail and the public does often have flesh in the game. It's not unique to clean energy. The loan guarantee program, after all, was designed for high-risk bets. Looked at objectively, the program has actually outperformed expectations. Solyndra and a handful of others are falling stars in a galaxy of promise.
But Solyndra is just the start. Clean energy skeptics point to company closures and the collapse of many solar, wind and other cleantech-themed stocks. They cite how U.S. government stimulus spending for clean energy projects is coming to an end. They flag how several jurisdictions in Europe, which is dealing with unrelated economic problems, are reducing subsidies for renewable energy projects.
The green dream is dead — or dying. It's the message you get when listening to those, mostly living in a North American bubble, who doubted the vision in the first place.
This cacophony ignores the incredible needs of countries like India, which is already among the top spenders in the world on clean-energy projects, having spent $10.2 billion on renewable energy in 2011. As the blackout suggests, the need to accelerate that spending has grown more urgent.
Japan, meanwhile, is embracing renewable energy in a big way in the aftermath of the nuclear disaster at Fukushima. It just launched its own feed-in-tariff program —similar to the one in Ontario —aimed at aggressively spurring solar, wind and geothermal development to help reduce the country's dependence on nuclear power.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance reported this month that global investment in clean energy surged to $57 billion in the second quarter of 2012, up 24 per cent from the first quarter and carried largely by a stunning 92 per cent spending increase out of China. Investment is still down year-over- year —2011 wasn't a great year generally, right? —but it's on the upswing in 2012, hardly the sign of collapse.
That boost from China is expected to continue, particularly in solar. As part of its 12th five-year economic plan, released in 2011, China originally expected to increase solar installations 20-fold by 2020. Last month it decided to draw forward that target to 2015, when it hopes to have 21 gigawatts of solar power capacity in place —enough to supply all of Ontario on a sunny spring day.
Why is China moving in this direction? Economically, it carries long-term strategic importance. But China's citizens are also growing fed up with unbearable air, water and soil pollution, so much so that there is a rise in violent protests breaking out across the country.
The reason why clean energy isn't a fad or a bursting bubble is that global problems such as climate change, pollution, poverty, food scarcity, crumbling legacy infrastructure, and access to clean water aren't going away anytime soon. Renewable energy and other clean technologies may not be the only solution, but they are a big and growing part of it.
Will nuclear help out? Maybe, but don't count on it. Jeff Immelt, chief executive of General Electric, a big supplier of nuclear technology, told the Financial Times this week that it's "really hard" these days to justify the cost of nuclear. "I think some combination of gas, and either wind or solar ... that's where we see most countries around the world going."
Ontario may want to reconsider plans for new nukes at Darlington.
Fact is, renewable energy costs are falling fast, and that's part of the reason there are layoffs, profit warnings, bankruptcies and falling share prices in the industry. Subsidies are supposed to gradually fade away, something the fossil fuel industry hasn't learned after 100 years of handouts.
There was oversupply in clean energy equipment. Weak companies are struggling and some are failing. Those intent on surviving figure out how to innovate, adjust, enter new geographic markets and come out stronger – the cycle is not unique to clean energy.
"Any emerging market will experience growth problems and will have winners and losers. And the losers' problems do not necessarily indicate the absence of a long-term market," says Craig Tighe, a partner with global law firm DLA Piper. "Were that the case, the loss of Palm and Handspring would mean that the smart phone market is not sustainable, which is manifestly not the case."
Growth in clean energy is happening. What's changing is the pace of that growth and the players who get to benefit.
There's no bubble bursting here.
Tyler Hamilton, author of Mad Like Tesla, writes weekly about green energy and clean technologies.

- What? April 27
Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R) was once, as her party's vice presidential nominee, close to being a heartbeat away from the presidency. And over the weekend, she gave a little glimpse of what a Palin presidency would look like.
Speaking at a National Rifle Association rally Saturday, Palin talked of how she would "put the fear of God in our enemies" as president by ensuring everyone knew that "waterboarding is how we baptize terrorists."
The United Nations, the ACLU, and just about every other authority on the matter considers waterboarding to be a form of torture. That said, Palin is unlikely to ever run for president, so her proposed national security policy should remain nothing more than a rhetorical flourish.- -

Oregon overwhelms UCLA in second half for 42-14 victory
The Associated Press
EUGENE, Ore. — Heading into halftime locked at 14-all with UCLA, No. 2 Oregon didn't panic. The Ducks knew they would eventually wear down the No. 12 Bruins. Because that's what they do.
"We understand that our tempo is one of our greatest allies," sophomore quarterback Marcus Mariota said.
Oregon went on to score 28 unanswered points in the second half and beat UCLA 42-14 on Saturday night.
Byron Marshall ran for 133 yards and three touchdowns, Mariota threw for 230 yards and another score, and the Ducks (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) racked up 555 yards in total offense compared to 283 for UCLA (5-2, 2-2).
"We just had to keep chipping away," Mariota said. "We knew that if we kept getting 5- or 6-yard chunks, we were going to get into a rhythm."
Brett Hundley completed 13 of 19 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown but also threw two interceptions, including one early in the fourth quarter that led to an Oregon touchdown. He also ran for 64 yards and a score.
"That was a very disappointing loss," Bruins coach Jim Mora said. "We didn't come up here to play them close, we didn't come up here to give it the old college try. We came up here to win the game and we didn't get it done, and it's very disappointing."
UCLA, which has now lost two straight after falling to Stanford last week, has not won at Autzen Stadium since 2004, and hasn't defeated the Ducks since a 16-0 blanking in 2007. The teams last met in 2011, when Oregon downed UCLA 49-31 in the inaugural Pac-12 championship game.
The Ducks are the highest-ranked opponent the Bruins have faced since they played the No. 1-ranked Ducks in the 2010 season. Last weekend UCLA fell 24-10 to No. 13 Stanford.
Oregon, ranked No. 3 in the initial BCS rankings released last weekend, was coming off a 62-38 victory at home over Washington State. The Ducks have played one other game against a ranked opponent this season — a 45-24 victory over then-No. 16 Washington at Husky Stadium.
"In the first half we had a couple of runs we'd like to have back, and we had a couple of throws we'd like to have back," Ducks coach Mark Helfrich said. "But we finished right where we wanted to finish."

Date Published:

This book is concerned with the estimation of discrete-time semi-Markov and hidden semi-Markov processes. Semi-Markov processes are much more general and better adapted to applications than the Markov ones because sojourn times in any state can be arbitrarily distributed, as opposed to the geometrically distributed sojourn time in the Markov case. Another unique feature of the book is the use of discrete time, especially useful in some specific applications where the time scale is intrinsically discrete. The models presented in the book are specifically adapted to reliability studies and DNA analysis.
The book is mainly intended for applied probabilists and statisticians interested in semi-Markov chains theory, reliability and DNA analysis, and for theoretical oriented reliability and bioinformatics engineers. It can also serve as a text for a six month research-oriented course at a Master or PhD level. The prerequisites are a background in probability theory and finite state space Markov chains.

Maron: Marc Maron has been a comedian for 25 years. He's had his problems. He was an angry, drunk, self involved, twice divorced compulsive mess for most of his adult life, but with the popularity of a podcast he does in his garage and a life of sobriety, his life and career are turning around. "MARON" explores a fictionalized version of Marc's life, his relationships, and his career, including his incredibly popular WTF podcast, which features conversations Marc conducts with celebrities and fellow comedians. Neurosis intact, Maron is uniquely fascinating, absolutely compelling and brutally funny.

Wonderful show! Funny and poignant. I knew it was coming on for a while, and had a good feeling about it. I was not wrong! I've been seeing him on various stand-up comedy specials myself for over the last 20 years, and he's always made me laugh, and most so-called comedians can not pull it off with me. He always did. Never knew why his career did not take off sooner, and I hope this show does that for him. I will definitely watch every episode. Highly recommended for those with an off-kilter sense of humor. My only question is, if this is second episode, where is the first, seeing as how it starts off with the second episode, or is it just a typo?

Looking forward to more of this! Marc Maron is hilarious! I actually bought his latest CD on iTunes and actually made me laugh hard as shit and nothing really makes me laugh anymore.

Anyone know why episodes 2 and 6 of season 2 are the exact same episode? I know that episode 2 is supposed to have Ray Romano, but the episode that's on this site is a copy of episode 6 with Caroline Rhea. What happened? Did IFC never air the Ray Romano episode?

Best episode yet - always great to transition a joke about Proust into a conversation about Iggy Pop - hope there is more of this dark, broken wit to come.

Where would you suggest to go in January? I was going to drive from Dublin straight to Kenmare and stay for 4 nights then work my way back up to Dublin by staying 2 nights in Baltimore, 2 nights in Avoca, 1 night in Enniskerry and the last night by the airport in Dublin. I am rethinking Avoca and in fact the whole plan.

Pontiac Wins Daytona Grand National Race 1957
The Daytona Beach Road Course was a race track that was instrumental in the
formation of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, or NASCAR.
It originally became famous as the location where fifteen world land speed
records were set.
The course started on the pavement of highway A1A (at 4511 South Atlantic
Avenue, Ponce Inlet 29.108890°N 80.943669°W). A restaurant named
"Racing's North Turn" now stands at that location. It went south two miles
(3 km) parallel to the ocean on A1A (S. Atlantic Ave) to the end of the
road, where the drivers accessed the beach at the south turn at the Beach
Street approach 29.084705°N 80.925566°W, returned two miles (3 km) north
on the sandy beach surface, and returned to A1A at the north turn.[1] The
lap length in early events was 3.2 miles (5.1 km), and it was lengthened to
4.2 miles (6.8 km) in the late 1940s. In the video game NASCAR Thunder 2004
by EA Sports, the course is shortened to about half its distance, but still
shows how the basic course was set up.
in 1957 the three-race weekend was revised with new preliminary formats.
The first race is a 125-mile (201 km) Modifield/Sportsmen race, and the
second is a 160-mile (260 km) Late Model Convertible event. Tim Flock and
Curtis Turner are the victors.
In the main event, Cotton Owens moved from his third place starting
position to lead the first lap. Paul Goldsmith took the lead briefly after
40 miles (of 160 miles). Goldsmith took the lead back from Owens after
Owens pitted after 94 miles (151 km). Goldsmith's quick pit stop gave him a
lead that he maintained until he went out with a blown piston with 36 miles
(58 km) left in the race. Owens led the rest of the way for his first
career win. The win was the first NASCAR win for Pontiac, and the first
Grand National race speed average over 100 mph (101.541 mph).
This film concentrates on the main event. Starting with scenes of the
NASCAR Inspection Station show the cars of Goldsmith, Tiny Lund, Billy
Myers, Marvin Panch and Curtis Turner. Ray Nichels, the car builder who
helped bring Pontiac into NASCAR, is shown at his Speedweek headquarters at
the Stephens Pontiac garage in Daytona, where both of his red '57 Pontiacs
are being prepared for drivers Banjo Matthews and Cotton Owens.
This film takes to the beach for qualifying and Goldsmith, Turner, Darel
Dieringer, plus the Nichels Pontiacs of Cotton Owens and Banjo Matthews are
all shown in action. Banjo wins the pole and starting beside him is Jack
Smith. Owens starts third with Fonty Flock in the #18 Bill Stroppe Mercury
fourth, while Tiny Lund starts fifth with Dieringer alongside.
By the end of the first lap Owens has taken the lead, with Paul Goldsmith,
who starts in 18th position in Smokey's #3 black '57 Chevy, moving up fast.
The first car out of the race is Bob Duell, shown running up the bank in
the south turn! Goldsmith takes the lead from Owens briefly at the 40-mile
mark, but Owens is back in front the next time around! Goldsmith takes
first again when Owens makes his only pit stop after 94 miles. Cotton gets
back out in a little over a minute to try and chase down Goldsmith, who
must soon come in, himself. Great camera work shows the pit stops of top
contenders Goldsmith, Owens and Flock, with car builders Nichels, Yunick
and Bill Stroppe all in action! Goldsmith's stop is quicker than Owens',
and he keeps the lead in the late stages of the race. Meanwhile other
drivers are shown having their problems. Darel Dieringer and Rex White
crash in the north turn! Frank Schneider's #45 Babb Chevrolet ends the race
stalled in the south turn. Lem Svajian misses the north turn altogether and
runs through the safety markers! During the race, you'll also see great
driving by Dick Beaty, Fonty Flock and Fireball Roberts.
With 36 miles to go the complexion of the race suddenly changes when
Goldsmith's Chevy burns a piston! Owens' #6 Pontiac has been pressuring
Goldsmith all the way, with Fonty Flock, in the #18 Stroppe Mercury in
third place. Cameras follow the black #3 into the pits where Smokey raises
the hood to find Goldsmith's day has ended. Owens again has the lead and
soon after takes the checkered flag, giving both himself and Pontiac their
first win in NASCAR history! A happy Cotton Owens and proud car owner Ray
Nichels are shown in Daytona's victory lane receiving the Harley Earl
trophy from Bill France! Cotton Owens becomes the first driver ever to win
a Grand National race at more than 100 MPH and his average speed of 101.541
MPH is still a record for the old beach and road course at Daytona!

NASCAR North Wilkesboro 1990 Controversy
North Wilkesboro Speedway opened its doors on May 18, 1947 to a crowd in
excess of 10,000 people who showed up to see one of the famous Flock
brothers win the race.
On October 16, 1949, North Wilkesboro Speedway held the eighth and final
race of the 1949 NASCAR Strictly Stock Division. At the end of the day
Robert "Red" Byron walked away as the first NASCAR champion
Brett Bodine led most of the spring 1990 race. During a caution the pace
car picked up the wrong leader, which gave Bodine a lap lead. Bodine put on
a set of tires before the error was corrected. He held off Darrell Waltrip
for his only career Winston Cup win.
Largest Crash in NASCAR History
Thanks to Rustyfan for this great capture. In 1960 Daytona Superspeedway
hosted this sportsman race. 68 cars entered into the race, back then there
were a maximum of 68 cars in a superspeedway race. Coming out of turn four
37 cars get into a massive wreck where at least six cars get on their
roofs. Amazingly, evryone walked away from this.
By the way, I am really getting tired of people having arguments that lead
to name calling and slander. If I see a comment that put another member
down or uses any derogatory language, I will delete it and any replies to
it immediately. Also, if you do not like racing or think it is a sport,
that's fine, but at least give some logical thought into a comment that you
post. I will once again delete any comment along the line of "nascar sucks"
or "nascar is for dumb rednecks LOL!!1!1".
All I ask is for some civilized conversation, and not trash talking.
