Corduroy Road Unearthed in Canada
ONTARIO, CANADA—A project to build a light rail system in the city of Waterloo has unearthed a corduroy road, made with logs sometime in the mid-nineteenth century, beneath King Street. "They would have put the trees down to help vehicles not get stuck in the mud," Kate Hagerman, cultural heritage specialist with the Region of Waterloo, told CBC News. "That's been a road for a long time, so there's layers and layers of what people have done to keep it and maintain it. It would have been from the earliest historic development of the region," she explained. For more on archaeology in Canada, go to "Canada Finds Erebus," which was one of ARCHAEOLOGY's Top 10 Discoveries of 2014.
Bison Bones Found at Archaic Site in the Southwest
TUCSON, ARIZONA—Jesse Ballenger of the University of Arizona and archaeologist Jonathan Mabry decided to reinvestigate Cave Creek Midden in southeastern Arizona, where an excavation in 1936 uncovered evidence of corn farming dating to between 4000 and 500 B.C. "[This site] is a huge deal, because it defined about 40 years of how people conceptualized that vague moment in prehistory," Ballenger told Western Digs. They found a deep layer of dark soil from a spring-fed wetland, or cienega, that contained cobbles, poorly preserved bison bones, and stone artifacts. They did not find, however, the butchering and cooking tools that are usually found at bison kill sites. "And any butchery marks that may be present on the bones are obscured due to the poor preservation of the bone surface," said Meredith Wismer of the University of Iowa. "This may have been an area on the landscape that bison frequented, and it is possible that at some times in the site's history they were hunted and used by people, but at other times bison may have gotten trapped in the cienega, died of natural causes, and were not used by people," she explained.

3,000-Year-Old Chinese Oracle Bone Printed in 3-D
CAMBRIDGE, ENGLAND—Researchers led by Dominic Powlesland of Cambridge University have created a 3-D print of one of the 614 inscribed Chinese oracle bones held in the Cambridge University Library. The oracle bones date to between 1339 and 1112 B.C., and are thought to be the oldest extant documents written in the Chinese language. The inscriptions are questions about warfare, agriculture, hunting, medical problems, meteorology, and astronomy, that were written on ox shoulder blades and the flat parts of turtle shells. The answers to the questions were sought through divination. "The oracle bones are three-dimensional objects, and high-resolution 3-D imagery reveals features which not only all previous methods of reproduction (such as drawings, rubbings, and photographs) have been unable to do, but which are not even apparent from careful examination of the actual items themselves," Charles Aylmer, head of the Chinese Department at Cambridge University, said in a press release. "In particular, the reverse sides of the bones, which are crucial to understanding the process of divination but have hitherto been neglected because of the difficulty of representing them adequately, can now be studied in detail thanks to this new technique," he said. For more, go to "Artifact: Oracle Bone."
3-D Model of King Richard III's Grave Released
LEICESTER, ENGLAND—Team members from University of Leicester Archaeological Services have used photogrammetry software to create a rotatable model of the grave said to belong to King Richard III. The interactive model, available on the 3-D sharing platform Sketchfab, was made with photographs taken during the 2012 excavation of the grave. "Photographs and drawings of the grave, whilst dramatic, are only two-dimensional and do not always best show nuances in special relationships that a three-dimensional model can," site supervisor Mathew Morris said in a press release. For example, the team says that viewers can see how Richard had been buried in a grave with sloping sides and an uneven base. The grave was also too short for him, so his body leaned to one side with his head propped up. They add that this fits with accounts of the burial, which record that Richard III had been buried without pomp or a solemn funeral. "These photos were not taken with photogrammetry in mind but the software is incredibly versatile and can be applied retrospectively to create this superb model," Morris added. For more, go to "Richard III's Last Act."
Medieval Castle Uncovered in Glasgow
GLASGOW, SCOTLAND—Traces of Partick Castle have been uncovered in Glasgow by a team from GUARD Archaeology. It had been thought that any archaeological remains in the area, which had once been the site of a royal estate, an ecclesiastical center, and the country seat of the Bishops of Glasgow, had been destroyed by industrial works in the nineteenth century. On higher ground at the site, however, the archaeologists found ditches, a well, and several stone walls, in addition to pottery, metalwork, leather, glass, and animal bones ranging in age from the twelfth or thirteenth century to the seventeenth century. "This fits well with the historical references to the original Bishop's residence being erected no earlier than the twelfth century and demolished in the early seventeenth century prior to a new tower house being constructed on the site," excavation leader Beth Spence said in a press release. "So the archaeology we are encountering is probably the remains of both of these residences and what we will need to do once we have completed our excavation is disentangle the remains of the later tower house from the earlier castle," she explained. For more, go to "Treasures of Rathfarnham Castle."
Metal Detected in Ink on Herculaneum Papyrus Fragments
GRENOBLE, FRANCE—An international team of scientists has detected metal, including a large amount of lead, in the ink on two papyrus scrolls recovered from Herculaneum in the eighteenth century. It had been thought that Greeks and Romans used the carbon-based ink described by Pliny the Elder until metallic inks came into use in the fourth century A.D. The team examined the documents, which were badly damaged by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, with several non-invasive synchrotron X-ray techniques at the European Synchrotron (ESRF). "This discovery is a new step in the exciting adventure of studying the papyrus of Herculaneum. The different phases of the present study on the ink will allow us to optimize the next experiments on the reading of the invisible text within papyri," Emmanuel Brun of ESRF-INSERM said in a press release. For more, go to "The Charred Scrolls of Herculaneum."
Lipid Analysis Leads to New Thoughts on Pottery
YORK, ENGLAND—Pottery is thought to have originated with hunter-gatherers in Japan some 16,000 years ago. It was also thought that as the climate warmed at the end of the last Ice Age some 11,500 years ago, their use of pottery expanded as more foods became available. But when an international team of researchers examined lipids extracted from 143 ceramic vessels from Torihama, a site in western Japan, they found that the pots were routinely used for cooking marine and freshwater animals over a 9,000-year period. Little evidence of plant processing or the cooking of animals such as deer was found, although there was an increase over time in the amount of freshwater fish that was cooked. "Here, we are starting to acquire some idea of why pottery was invented and became such a successful technology. Interestingly, the reason seems to be little to do with subsistence and more to do with the adoption of a cultural tradition, linked to celebratory occasions and competitive feasting, especially involving the preparation of fish and shellfish," Oliver Craig of the University of York said in a press release. To read more about the use of pottery in archaeological research, go to "On the Trail of the Mimbres."
Use of Shea Butter Pushed Back 1,000 Years
EUGENE, OREGON—According to researcher Daphne Gallagher of the University of Oregon, shea butter has been used in West Africa since A.D. 100. Carbonized fragments of nutshells from shea trees, found at the archaeological site at Kirikongo in western Burkina Faso, were found in multiple layers of households at the site. "Our findings demonstrate the antiquity of the use of this particular resource. It demonstrates the importance of wild foods in early agricultural diets, and that its importance has continued through time," she said in a press release. The trees continue to grow in a narrow belt of fertile, well-drained soils in the savannah stretching from West Africa to East Africa. Millet and sorghum crops have been grown around the valuable trees. "We are seeing the continual integration of the farming system. Farmers leave the trees in place. They are respected, loved, maintained, and pruned. People have rights to particular trees, which may or may not be on the land they are farming," she said. Shea butter is rich in antioxidants, and is used as cooking oil. It is also exported for use in making soap, moisturizers, and lotions. For more on West Africa, go to "The Nok of Nigeria."
Human Remains Unearthed at the Plain of Jars in Laos
BANGKOK, THAILAND—Human remains believed to date back 2,500 years have been uncovered on the Plain of Jars, located in the central plain of Laos, by a team of archaeologists from Australia and Laos. It has been difficult to study the Plain of Jars in recent years because of unexploded ordnance dating to the 1970s. These remains were found in an ancient burial ground in a region with more than 300 stone jars, stone discs, and markers. Some of the bodies had been buried whole, some burials consisted of bundled bones, and other bones had been placed in ceramic vessels. "With our research, because we've been able to uncover a fair amount of human bone—we've got seven burials and four probable burials with ceramic jars—so a total of 11 mortuary contexts. We're hoping we'll be able to get some really good information about the people," Dougald O'Reilly of Australian National University told Voice of America News. The researchers plan to conduct isotopic and chemical analysis of the bones. "This discovery marks a significant milestone since archaeological excavations began in the area in the 1930s in collaboration with a French archaeologist," added Thonglith Luangkhoth, archaeology division director of the Lao Ministry of Information, Culture, and Tourism. To read more about Southeast Asia, go to "Letter from Cambodia: Storied Landscape."
Ireland Inhabited 2,500 Years Earlier Than Previously Thought
SLIGO, IRELAND—A butchered brown bear bone discovered in Alice and Gwendoline Cave in County Clare in 1903 has been dated to 12,500 years ago. The knee bone, or patella, had been stored with other bones and artifacts from the cave in the National Museum of Ireland since the 1920s. "Archaeologists have been searching for the Irish Palaeolithic since the nineteenth century, and now, finally, the first piece of the jigsaw has been revealed. This find adds a new chapter to the human history of Ireland," archaeologist Marion Dowd of the Institute of Technology Sligo said in a press release. Until this date had been confirmed for the knee bone, the oldest known site on Ireland had been at Mount Sandel in County Derry, which dates to 8000 B.C. "Yes, we expected a prehistoric date, but the Palaeolithic result took us completely by surprise," Dowd said. And three separate bone specialists confirmed that the cut marks had been made on fresh bone. "The bone was in fresh condition meaning that people were carrying out activities in the immediate vicinity—possibly butchering a bear inside the cave or at the cave entrance," Dowd explained. For more, go to "The Vikings in Ireland."

Profitable quarter for ANZ, Westpac
Relevant offers
Financial Results
ANZ and Westpac have grown their first-quarter profits by a third, with all the Australian-owned banks reporting sharply improved performances.
ANZ's disclosure statement for the three months to December 31 shows it made an unaudited net profit of $393 million, up 33 per cent from $296m.
The result was driven by lower funding costs, which helped boost net interest income 5 per cent to $688m on improved total lending of $101.2 billion.
The country's largest bank also reduced its expenses by $26m, savings which were attributed to the successful merger of the ANZ and National Bank brands.
ANZ's growth was mirrored by Westpac NZ's 35 per cent jump, from $197m to $266m.
Westpac NZ's total lending grew from $59.7b to $62.8b, even while its net interest income declined 3 per cent.
However, the bank was able to compensate through a $22m fall in bad debts, and a $48m gain on the sale of some overseas shares.
Bank of Zealand this week posted a 57 per cent jump in profit to $198m for the first quarter.
That result was influenced largely by movements in the value of financial instruments, which it is required to report to meet accounting standards.
ASB, which follows a different financial year, has already reported a 14 per cent improved interim result of $416m for the six months to December 31.
ASB, ANZ, BNZ and Westpac are all subsidiaries of Australian banks.
Their main competitor, state-owned Kiwibank, made a $52m profit for the December half-year, down from the previous record half-year profit of $58m.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 coming to Chicagoland
RELATED: Buy tickets for Chicagoland Photo credit: Stewart-Haas Racing 's Twitter account, @StewartHaasRcng NEW YORK – April 26, 2016 – Nickelodeon today announced that it is the entitlement sponsor of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, Sept. 18, dubbed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 at Chicagoland Speedway . Danica Patrick has signed on to drive a special car for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400, which will be broadcast on NBCSN at 2:30 p.m. ET, and will feature a weekend of action, activities and fun for the entire family with the iconic Heroes in a Half Shell. NASCAR star Danica Patrick , a Roscoe, Illinois native, helped kick off the partnership in true Turtles style. She unveiled her No. 10 April O'Neil/Nature's Bakery Chevrolet SS at an event at Wrigley Square in Millennium Park with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, then took her car for a spin down Michigan Ave. She will join a number of other drivers with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles paint schemes for the Sept. 18 race. Photo courtesy of Chicagoland Speedway 's Twitter account, @ChicagoIndSpdwy This Sept. 15-18 marks the sixth consecutive year that Chicagoland Speedway will kick off the Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup . The Nickelodeon partnership will include sponsorship of the 2017 kickoff race, as well. "We are excited to partner with Chicagoland Speedway to continue sponsoring and participating in marquee racing events that resonate with motorsports fans across the country," said Anthony DiCosmo, Senior Vice President, Sports Marketing and Development, Nickelodeon. "Just as we did with last season's SpongeBob SquarePants 400 at Kansas Speedway , the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 will continue to expand our relationship with NASCAR, while working with another best-in-class ISC track to give fans a unique and engaging race experience that the whole family can enjoy." "We are thrilled to partner with a world class brand like Nickelodeon for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 on Sept. 18," said Scott Paddock, Chicagoland Speedway President. "This is an exciting opportunity for us to partner with one of the preeminent youth focused brands on the planet to deliver an unprecedented level of family entertainment while engaging Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles fans of all ages." "It's great to be back in my home state of Illinois to be a part of this exciting announcement for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400," said Patrick. "The Nickelodeon-sponsored races are really cool because they truly are fun for the entire family. Nature's Bakery and Nickelodeon have put together an awesome paint scheme and I can't wait to have the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and April O'Neil riding along with me in September." Patrick's unique car was designed by Chicago artist Hebru Brantley, who will also design the race trophy, additional Turtles-branded paint schemes and other visual elements. Brantley breaks down the walls of cultural boundaries through his art and inspired by his 1980s Chicago upbringing, Brantley's work touches on tough subjects in a way that may be easily digestible to the viewer, by telling his stories through youthful characters and their adventures. Brantley's work can be described as pop infused contemporary art inspired by Japanese anime and the bold aesthetics of street art pioneers Jean Michel Basquiat, KAWS and Keith Haring. During the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 400 race weekend, attendees will be able to enjoy fun family activities in the Nickelodeon Kids Zone, located in Champion's Park.

The Rundown: Chicagoland
RELATED: Full race results " Updated series standings " Chase Grid Complete news and notes on all 43 drivers from the myAFibRisk.com 400 1. Denny Hamlin , No. 11 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing . Hamlin's worst start at Chicagoland turned into his best finish at the track when he opted to not pit prior to the Lap 263 restart and used likely the best restart of his career to roll to the win. He is the first driver to secure a spot in the Contender round. 2. Carl Edwards , No. 19 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing . The Chase contender rallied back after being busted for speeding on pit road on Lap 52. 3. Kurt Busch , No. 41 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing . Busch bounced off the wall early in the race, but was leading when the final caution flag was waved. He opted not to pit and fell back when he didn't get a strong run at the restart. 4. Ryan Newman , No. 31 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing . Newman restarted 14th on fresh tires and improved to score his fifth top-five of the season. 5. Matt Kenseth , No. 20 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing . Kenseth's team continually tweaked the No. 20 Toyota to help Kenseth maintain his grip on the points lead. 6. Joey Logano , No. 22 Ford, Team Penske . Logano, a Chase contender, turned in his second-best result at Chicagoland on Sunday. The Connecticut-native found himself caught in between the Johnson-Harvick issue after bumping Johnson on a restart; which, in turn, caused Johnson to slide into Harvick's Chevrolet. 7. Kyle Larson , No. 42 Chevrolet, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. Larson is two-for-two at Chicagoland -- two starts, two top-10 results at the 1.5-mile oval. Larson was the first non-Chase contender to cross the finish line. 8. Brad Keselowski , No. 2 Ford, Team Penske . Keselowski rebounded from a loose wheel to post his 10th straight top-10 result of the year, a series best. 9. Kyle Busch , No. 18 Toyota, Joe Gibbs Racing . Busch led a race-high 121 laps as the Joe Gibbs Racing domination continued on Sunday. 10. Aric Almirola , No. 43 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports . Almirola ran inside the top 15 for most of the day en route to his first Chicagoland top-10. 11. Jimmie Johnson , No. 48 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports . Johnson ruffled some feathers early when he made contact with Harvick, after being tapped by Logano, while trying to get back onto the track after the Lap 135 restart. 12. Dale Earnhardt Jr ., No. 88 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports . Earnhardt lost several spots in the closing laps when he committed to the top line off the restart and was stalled behind cars on older tires. 13. Martin Truex Jr ., No. 78 Chevrolet, Furniture Row Racing . The fastest in Saturday's final practice, Truex was strong all day but got caught up in a four-wide, Lap 263 restart and shuffled to the back. 14. Jeff Gordon , No. 24 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports . Gordon, who made a series-tying best 788th Cup start Sunday, took the lead on Lap 144 after a controversial restart, paced the field for 40 laps before pitting under green on Lap 185. 15. David Ragan , No. 55 Toyota, Michael Waltrip Racing . Ragan used the beneficiary pass twice and the wave-around several times to improve his track position and stay on the lead lap. 16. Jamie McMurray , No. 1 Chevrolet, Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. In his first Chase race as a contender, McMurray gambled with pit strategy and experienced a bit of tire rub in the closing 30 laps. 17. Paul Menard , No. 27 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing . A first-time Chaser, Menard was running 12th and on the lead lap with 18 laps to go. A late-race pit stop and crazy restart cost him position. 18. Ricky Stenhouse Jr ., No. 17, Roush Fenway Racing . Stenhouse spent the first half of Sunday's race looking for the best line. When he ran the top line, he reported, the rear of his car became too tight. 19. Clint Bowyer , No. 15 Toyota, Michael Waltrip Racing . It was a tough day for Bowyer, who struggled throughout the entire race getting through Turns 3 and 4. 20. Casey Mears , No. 13 Chevrolet, Germain Racing . Mears was considering fuel mileage while racing for the beneficiary pass late in the race Sunday. 21. Greg Biffle , No. 16 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing . Biffle, frequently vexed this season with his car's handling, experienced similar on Sunday and also had the misfortune of brushing the wall. 22. Brian Scott , No. 33 Chevrolet, Circle Sport . Scott rolled off the grid 21st and tying his second-best Cup result of the year (he finished 13th at Las Vegas). 23. Justin Allgaier , No. 51 Chevrolet, HScott Motorsports . "Heck yeah boys! Excellent stop," Allgaier encouraged his pit crew during their sixth stop. Unfortunately, the chassis adjustments didn't pan out in the laps to come, as Allgaier noted there wasn't a change in the handling. 24. Kasey Kahne , No. 5 Chevrolet, Hendrick Motorsports . Kahne made an unscheduled stop late in the race for a vibration and spent the rest of the race running quietly. The primary radio chatter was his lap times. 25. Tony Stewart , No. 14 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing . Stewart was among the cars knocked off the lead lap during season's longest green-flag run. He was running 16th on Lap 83 and was the last car on the lead lap. 26. Danica Patrick , No. 10 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing . Patrick was running 30th when she reported a "loud metal noise" in the back of her car nearing Lap 100. 27. Landon Cassill , No. 40 Chevrolet, Hillman Smith Motorsports. Cassill was one of 16 drivers knocked off the lead lap within the first 50 laps, but he had the fortune of being a legitimate contender for the beneficiary pass. 28. Trevor Bayne , No. 6 Ford, Roush Fenway Racing . Once his team addressed a loose-handling condition, Bayne employed the wave around during caution periods and held steady in the top 28. 29. Cole Whitt , No. 35 Ford, Front Row Motorsports . Whitt held steady to improve upon his previous best Chicagoland finish of 30th. 30. Sam Hornish Jr ., No. 9 Ford, Richard Petty Motorsports . Hornish started 22nd but had to pit unexpectedly for tire rub during the first quarter of the race, causing him to go two laps down. 31. Brett Moffitt , No. 34 Ford, Front Row Motorsports . The Chicagoland first-timer was cautioned on the restarts by spotter Tony Raines , who said "It's like Talladega or Daytona here at the start/finish line. They're all pushing each other." 32. David Gilliland , No. 38 Ford, Front Row Motorsports . The caution flag was waved on Lap 191 just as Gilliland's team was completing his green-flag stop. 33. Josh Wise , No. 32 Ford, Go FAS Racing. Within the first 50 laps, Wise reported a vibration in the right rear, prompting his crew chief to call him down pit road and further off the lead lap. 34. Michael Annett , No. 46 Chevrolet, HScott Motorsports . Annett pitted just prior to the second caution flag for a vibration and later chose to take the wave-around. 35. J.J. Yeley, No. 26 Toyota, BK Racing . Yeley chased a free-handling car and was running 34th past the midway point on Sunday. 36. AJ Allmendinger , No. 47 Chevrolet, JTG Daugherty Racing . Allmendinger, who was involved in Denny Hamlin 's early on-track spin, took another hit by Lap 48 when he sustained a flat left-rear tire and had to stop on pit road. 37. Alex Bowman , No. 7 Chevrolet, Tommy Baldwin Racing . Around Lap 151, Bowman reported to his crew that something in the rear of the car had broken and he had to hit pit road. 38. Jeb Burton , No. 23 Toyota, BK Racing . Burton battled a loose-handling condition during his debut at Chicagoland Speedway and within the first quarter of the race already had dropped the track bar a half inch. 39. Matt DiBenedetto , No. 83 Toyota, BK Racing . DiBenedetto, later tweeting his car was "off all weekend," started where he finished in his Chicagoland debut. 40. Reed Sorenson , No. 98 Ford, Premium Motorsports. Sorenson scored his second-best result this season from behind the wheel of the No. 98 Ford. 41. Timmy Hill , No. 62 Chevrolet, Premium Motorsports . Making his second Chicagoland start, Hill struggled to make up much track position after starting 43rd. 42. Kevin Harvick , No. 4 Chevrolet, Stewart-Haas Racing . The defending NASCAR Sprint Cup champion experienced tire rub after contact with Johnson on the Lap 135 restart and cut his left-rear tire, ultimately causing him to hit the wall hard three laps later. 43. Austin Dillon , No. 3 Chevrolet, Richard Childress Racing . Dillon's best Chicagoland start and strong top-10 run was cut short when he got into the wall on Lap 131.
Teams get set for Chicagoland open test
Intermediate track hosts opening event of 10-race Chase in September The Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup doesn't begin for another 10 weeks at Chicagoland Raceway, but a dozen teams are scheduled to be at the 1.5-mile track later this week for an open team test. Dale Earnhardt Jr . ( Hendrick Motorsports ), Martin Truex Jr . ( Furniture Row Racing ), Sam Hornish Jr . ( Richard Petty Motorsports ) and J.J. Yeley ( BK Racing ) are participating in a two-day Goodyear tire test Monday and Tuesday. They will be joined by Kyle Larson ( Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates), Greg Biffle ( Roush Fenway Racing ), Denny Hamlin ( Joe Gibbs Racing ), Ryan Blaney ( Wood Brothers Racing ), Austin Dillon ( Richard Childress Racing ), Kurt Busch ( Stewart-Haas Racing ), Clint Bowyer ( Michael Waltrip Racing ) and Brad Keselowski ( Team Penske ) for the open test. On Tuesday morning, Earnhardt Jr. tweeted that Hornish tested a high downforce package on Monday while a low downforce package was scheduled to be run on Tuesday. Test day2. Heard @SamHornish tested @NASCAR high downforce package yesterday. We start day2 with the low downforce package. #RunninInCircles — Dale Earnhardt Jr . (@DaleJr) July 14, 2015 While a lower downforce rules package similar to that used this past weekend at Kentucky Speedway isn't expected to be in play when the series competes at Chicago in September, any additional testing with the setup on the 1.5-mile track would give both Goodyear and the teams additional data going forward. RELATED: France sees improvement in racing at Kentucky At Daytona International Speedway earlier this month, Earnhardt Jr. said he was open to trying a different aero package for Chicago while testing. "I think it's a great idea to go there and take whatever package they would like to try," the Hendrick Motorsports driver said. "Because it's a great opportunity … we will be there three full days." Earnhardt said implementing the lower downforce package for the test didn't necessarily mean the package would be used in the opening Chase race. "We will go through and see what happens up until the Chase with these different packages they want to try and then maybe come to a decision to change something in the Chase," he said. "But until then nothing in the Chase is really going to change as far as I've been told. I feel comfortable about that." A similar rules package will be in play when the series travels to Darlington Raceway in September, and a high drag package is scheduled for races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway and Michigan International Speedway later this year. The rules package in place for Saturday's race at Kentucky featured a shorter spoiler as well as changes to the splitter and splitter extension panel. RELATED: What we learned from Kentucky race, rules package While weather problems forced the cancellation of a scheduled extended practice on Wednesday at Kentucky, as well as qualifying on Friday, the 267-lap race featured a record number of green-flag passes throughout the field. Steve O'Donnell, Executive Vice President and Chief Racing Development Officer for NASCAR, didn't completely close the door on the possibility of an aero change for any of the 10 Chase races, five of which will be contested on 1.5-mile tracks, when speaking with members of the media last week, saying, "All options for us are still on the table." "Our position today is that these are the race packages and this is kind of where we're at for '15, but as those conversations take place over the next couple weeks, that could change," he said. Monday morning on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio, O'Donnell said, however, that there were no plans to implement different aero packages for Chase races. "We're going to stick with our plan," he said. "This was something that we developed with the garage area. What are the specific races that we can target together? Everybody feels really good about the plan that we have in place so we'll continue on that path. We're learning a lot this week as well as we take all the data from Kentucky. … "There were some reasons why we picked the race tracks we did from a (preparation) standpoint, and (we) feel like we want to stick to the plan right now." The opening Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race is scheduled for Sunday, Sept. 20 at Chicagoland Speedway (3 p.m. ET, NBC Sports Network, MRN, SiriusXM). The other nine Chase races will be contested at: New Hampshire Motor Speedway , Dover International Speedway , Charlotte Motor Speedway , Kansas Speedway , Talladega Superspeedway, Martinsville Speedway , Texas Motor Speedway , Phoenix International Raceway and Homestead-Miami Speedway .

There are a million Patriots apologists and at least as many professional and amateur contrarians, but after watching Patriots 37, Bills 31, we can all get together and agree that this defense isn't nearly good enough to win a Super Bowl as presently constituted, right?
Again, they might get better. There's plenty of time still left to improve, mostly young guys on the field, Aqib Talib could turn out to be the savior . . . all that stuff. But the Buffalo Bills -- now 3-6 and going 100 mph to 5-11 -- put up 35 first downs (most allowed in franchise history and the most by the Bills in franchise history; the NFL record is 39), 162 yards rushing, 481 total yards and 31 points against a truly putrid Patriots defense on Sunday.
This is a group that's been awful at times this season -- Ravens, Seahawks, Jets -- but this was the bottom. Two days ago Buffalo general manager Buddy Nix went on a radio station and said the team needs another quarterback. And if you watched the final throw of the game on Sunday you know Nix is 100 percent correct. But Fitzpatrick went up and down the field until the McCourty interception, completing 27-of-40 passes for 337 yards and two touchdowns. Steve Johnson and Donald Jones each had six catches, as Kyle Arrington and Alfonzo Dennard (a particularly rough outing) were torched all afternoon. The linebackers -- Jerod Mayo, Donta Hightower and Brandon Spikes -- had serious trouble covering Scott Chandler over the middle.
Remember the days when it seemed Bill Belichick could actually enter the mind of the opposing quarterback? How many times did we see it, hear about it? Peyton Manning unable to make plays against a secondary of Hank Poteat and Troy Brown stands out. Sure, eventually Manning and Drew Brees and the really good ones will adjust and catch up, and it helps when you've got guys like Tedy Bruschi, Richard Seymour, Ty Law, Mike Vrabel and Rodney Harrison in their prime, but Ryan Fitzpatrick? Mark Sanchez? Russell Wilson? How many times do we have to see this kind of performance against mediocre offenses before we can get close to a conclusion regarding this defense?
If the playoffs started right now -- and I know they don't -- does anyone think this group could play well enough to win three or four games in a row against good offenses? Doesn't one of these stinkers seem inevitable? If Fitzpatrick (who threw for almost 800 yards in the two games between the Bills and Pats this year), Sanchez and Wilson can do this, what will Ben Roethlisberger do? Or Peyton Manning? How about another round with Joe Flacco? Aaron Rodgers or Matt Ryan? I'm setting the over/under for Andrew Luck's passing yards at 338.5 next week -- which side are you taking?
But this Patriots team is in a unique position for the second straight year -- they have about two months to fix a screaming weakness with the comfort that the playoffs is a certainty. The AFC East race is over. Take a look around -- the Bills are 3-6, the Jets are 3-6 and in full collapse mode and the Dolphins lost (at home) to a 4-6 Tennessee Titans team by 34 points.
The Patriots are 6-3 and have a two-game lead in the division. They are the only team in the AFC East that has scored more points than they have allowed. A realistic game of worst-case scenario with this team -- back-to-back losses with a road loss to Miami mixed in, or switch out Miami with the Jets on Thanksgiving -- still gets you to 10-6, which I think would take this division by two games at a minimum.
There was a time around here when a division title was something to be celebrated, an actual goal when the season started. From 1979-96 the Patriots won exactly zero AFC East titles -- and when they clinch sometime in early December it'll be the ninth time in the last 12 years. In 1996 and 2001 it felt meaningful; now it's just a parenthesis, something to mention but ultimately deserving of no reflection.
That's what happens when you win three Super Bowls and play in five in just over a decade. Expectations shift. There are those who complain that this is a spoiled fan base, and I recognize the argument, but what is it supposed to do? Be pleased with 11-5 and a playoff loss? Just shrug and think of the Snow Game and Silence of The Rams as average quarterbacks produce career games week after week? Was any fan satisifed with the season at the end of the Super Bowl last year? That's just not how it works -- fans here know that Brady/Belichick will not last forever and things can get bleak for decades really fast in the NFL.
There are a handful (at best) of teams that start the season with Super Bowl-or-Bust expectations, and of course the Patriots are one of them. Right now, unless there is real change to this defense, it's going to be a bust. Sunday was a win, but in the big picture it felt an awful lot like a loss.
Giardi and Price discuss the mega deal that CB Josh Norman signed with Washington and if he is worth it. They also relate it to the Pats and Malcolm Butler.

VIODA girls training weekend - Opti girls rule!!
by VIODA Committee on 18 Sep 2012
The sailors/coaches with Jessica Watson - VIODA Girls Training Alex McKinnon
Last weekend VIODA (Victorian International Optimist Dinghy Association) conducted the first ever all girls Optimist dinghy camp at Black Rock Yacht Club. The weekend was an absolute success with lots of fun and smiles shared among sailors, coaches and parents alike.
26 girls aged between 8 and 14 from all over the State attended the weekend which offered a range of both on and off the water activities and experiences in an informal setting.
The weekend was highlighted with a special guest appearance from Jessica Watson, who spoke about her own sailing adventures and provided numerous autographs and photo opportunities!
Perfect sailing conditions prevailed on Saturday allowing for a full day of on water coaching. This was followed by dinner and a question and answer session with head coach Oli Tweddell and the female coaches Eliza Solly, Anna Philip and Tess Lloyd. The girls were completely engaged by recounts from the coaches of their own sailing journeys and no doubt many of the girls will be inspired to continue sailing and strive to achieve their own dreams.
Feedback from the girls and parents has been overwhelmingly positive and it is hoped that this will be the first of many events for girls.
VIODA wishes to thank Oli Tweddell, Black Rock Yacht Club, Yachting Victoria and all the parents that made this weekend a possibility.

what could cuase the front end of an 85 f150 to lock up so tight that you can't push it with a fork lift
what could cuase the front end of an 85 f150 to lock up so tight that you can't push it with a fork lift, and the front end unlocks the next dayon its own.
1 Answer
If your talking about the brakes I would check the rubber hoses going to the front brake calipers. With age they tend to collapse and don't allow the brake fluid to blead off the calipers as quickly as it should. To check when it's locked up take the hose loose from the caliper on the caliper side if the brakes release and the wheel moves replace the rubber hoses. Hope this helps

Allen West Set to Launch "Deep Strike," but What Is It?
Former Tea Party posterboy Allen West has a deft touch when it comes to names. Sure, some of this is luck. First off, you've got his legal tag, a double-barrel insta-brand for a Republican legislator -- "Allen," reeking of everything rock-solid and GOPish about middle-management America; "West," with '90s summer blockbuster dash.
But Wild West has shown equal tack when it comes to dropping catchy, call-to-arms monikers on his own. Just last week, we told you about the title of his forthcoming book, "Dreams From My American Father" -- a direct body blow aimed at the commander in chief. And now, West has caught everyone's attention with the mysterious title of his latest venture, "Deep Strike." But what exactly is it?
Could it be:
a. A GOP-themed role-playing game in which participants guide a freedom-loving avatar through a postnuclear America to free a population enslaved by a welfare state with free cell phones and birth control?
Upcoming Events
Florida Panthers

TicketsSat., May. 21, 7:00pm
Florida Panthers vs. New York Islanders
TicketsMon., May. 23, 12:00am
Premier Boxing Champions
TicketsFri., Jun. 3, 6:30pm
b. A Christian rap duo with former Republican Congresswoman Michele Bachmann? Todd Palin is on the turntables.
c. An online degree program for hydraulic fracking training?
d. A campus surveillance initiative aimed at Florida Atlantic University's student groups? West himself would reportedly pose as an undergrad in order to infiltrate the school and exact revenge on dangerous activists.
e. A political action committee?
Well, we know this is going to bum you out, but the answer is "e." Now that he doesn't have to worry about being elected, West is rolling his campaign finance committee, Allen West for Congress, into a PAC, according to Roll Call. This will be West's piggybank to "support or oppose more than one federal candidate and is affiliated with the Allen West Guardian Fund, his leadership PAC."
As of March, Allen West for Congress had $142,672 in the bank. Over the first months of 2013, Roll Call reports the fund gave away $400,000 to the Allen West Foundation. At its height in the 2011-12 election cycle, the fund had more than $20 million in contributions.
So that's "Deep Strike." It pretty much fits snug with everything else we know about Allen West. Only a wannabe tough guy who leans hard on ideology would sex-up something as perfunctory as a PAC with a muscle-flexing moniker.
