Fu Manchu is a Southern California heavy rock band that has been putting out music and rattling skulls since the early 1990s. Group founder Scott Hill tells us the stories behind some of the album covers in Fu Manchu's discography.
The Action Is Go (1997)
Our collective favorite album cover is The Action is Go. We had a new drummer and a new lead guitar player, and the music was a little more aggressive than it had been in the past few years. We wanted to find an old surfing or skating photo to go with the record. We were mixing the record and we thought it would be awesome to get an old Glen E. Friedman photo. We were kidding around. He's one of our favorite photographers; we all grew up with hardcore punk rock stuff, seeing his pictures of Black Flag and Minor Threat. We called the record company and asked if there was any way we can get something from Glen Friedman. A couple days later, they got back to us and said they got a hold of him and that he wanted to hear the record to make sure he's cool with it. They sent him a copy of what we had mixed and he liked it. Then the record label sent us the actual picture and it was of Tony Alva, who was one of our favorite skaters growing up. We couldn't believe that first we were going to use a Friedman shot, and then that it was of Alva. We were freaking out. Growing up as a kid in Southern California, I had those pictures on my walls. We got to meet Tony Alva, he's come to a few shows. He actually lives down here in San Clemente. My wife almost ran him over when he was skateboarding. He was skating down Del Mar and she almost hit him. He's a really cool guy.
King of the Road (2000)
We told the label we'd like to do some custom van stuff and asked if there was anywhere where we could get some of that. Someone at the label reached out to Hot Rod magazine and got in touch with the photographer who shot all that stuff. They sent us all these pictures and we couldn't believe we got to choose from them. When that record came out, Hot Rod reviewed it, and they never do record reviews.
California Crossing (2001)
I had just bought a 1968 El Camino. I grew up in Huntington Beach, and I remember walking to the pier and in the parking lot there was an El Camino with some surfboards sticking out. These girls were talking to these guys in the car. I was a real young kid and I always wanted to recreate that memory. That image stuck with me all those years. We shot that down by the beach in San Clemente with my car, and my wife is the blonde in it.
The Covers (2011)
We figured it's a record of covers, so why not do a record cover that's a cover of Fear's The Record cover. We love Fear and that record, so we figured we'd spray paint Fu Manchu on the asphalt like they did. We tried to be clever, but that doesn't always really work with us.
In Search Of… (1996, reissued 2011)
That record came out in 1996. They printed up a couple thousand on vinyl, but it's been long out of print. A couple years ago was the [album's] 15th year anniversary. Our record label had folded and was now part of Disney. Our manager got a hold of somebody over there to see if they had any old CDs we could sell. He also asked if we could repress some copies on to vinyl and they were cool with it. We planned a tour of just playing that record from start to finish, but then we realized we had to learn the whole thing. We printed up a thousand on blue vinyl and those sold out quickly. We printed up another thousand on purple swirl vinyl and those sold out quickly. We toured the States for five weeks, Europe for five weeks and then up the West Coast of America, and we sold pretty much everything we had. The original records were going for $80 bucks and we re-pressed up about 4500 records and we basically sold them all. Everything we've recorded has come out on vinyl except for Start the Machine, which came out in 2004, right when the label folded. I think we are going to re-release it on vinyl next year. Everything else we've released since 1990 we've released on vinyl—11 or 12 7-inches, a couple 10-inch records and 12 full LPs.

Washington, DC - When people think of benefits from energy research, they usually don't envision saving lives. But thanks to an innovative alloy jointly developed by Boston Scientific Corporation (BSCI) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) metallurgists, that's what is happening.
Evaluation-related test drilling at geologic sites in three states that could store a combined 64 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions - an important component of carbon capture, utilization and storage technology development - has been completed in projects supported by the U.S. Department of Energy.
Washington, DC - Four projects that will strengthen and promote U.S. energy security, scientific discovery and economic competitiveness while producing a diverse next generation of scientists and engineers have been selected as part of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) long running minority educational research program.
Gasification. It's a versatile technology that uses coal to produce power, chemicals, and fuels. Inherently low in air emissions, solid byproducts, and wastewater, commercial gasification plants have proven capable of exceeding the most stringent regulations for air- and solids-emissions.
An innovative clean coal technology project in Texas will supply electricity to the largest municipally owned utility in the United States under a recently signed Power Purchase Agreement, the U.S. Department of Energy announced today.
The Midwest Geological Sequestration Consortium, one of seven regional partnerships created by the U.S. Department of Energy to advance carbon storage technologies nationwide, has begun injecting carbon dioxide for their large-scale CO2 injection test in Decatur, Illinois.
The U.S. Department of Energy has issued a Record of Decision that - along with a signed cooperative agreement - will allow federal funding to be used to help build one of the world's most advanced and environmentally clean coal-based power plants.
U.S. Department of Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced today the selection of six projects aimed at developing technologies to lower the cost of producing electricity in integrated gasification combined cycle power plants using carbon capture, while maintaining the highest environmental standards.
Washington, D.C. — The U.S. Department of Energy announced today the selection of 16 projects aimed at developing advanced post-combustion technologies for capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal–fired power plants. The projects, valued at $41 million over three years, are focused on reducing the energy and cost penalties associated with applying currently available carbon capture technologies to existing and new power plants.

Eli Roth Picks Up Fan Made 'Clown' Film And Chilean Earthquake Thriller
There have been many horror stories from people in Hollywood about strangers pitching them ideas. Some have even gone so far as to offer a script to a star while she was in the middle of a gynecology exam (true story, Sigourney Weaver was offered a script from her gynecologist while her feet were in the straddles). Often times these extreme acts don't work and are very annoying. Desperation never looks good on anyone. But sometimes, if you've got the talent and aren't that annoying, they work.
Take this trailer that Jon Watts and Christopher Ford made, where they wrote "from Master of Horror Eli Roth:"
Eli Roth had nothing to do with it at all yet they still put his name on it. And it paid off because Roth is now working with these guys to make a full length feature film off its premise and they have even secured full funding for the film. Frankly, I'm all for this. A possessed clown suit can be both silly and horrifying which makes for a great film. And this quote from Roth just sounds awesome: "This guy can feel himself changing, blacking out only to find blood all over his clown suit."
But that isn't all for Roth, who picked up another horror film, this one set during the horrific Chile Earthquake of February from Chilean horror filmmaker Nicolas Lopez. Roth says he wanted to add a supernatural element to the film, titled Aftershock, but after hearing Lopez's description of post-earthquake Chile he decided it didn't need it. Lopez also directed Chile's highest grossing film of 2010, translated to English, Fuck My Life. Roth is also helping Lopez direct a series of Fuck My… titles which sound fairly sweet as well.
I'm not really a proponent of horror films, but I have grown rather fond of Eli Roth recently thanks mostly in part to his turn in Inglorious Basterds (which I realize has absolutely nothing to do with his writing or acting but still) and his involvement with RZA's Man With The Iron Fist. The combo of foreign and homegrown talent usually results in something special, bringing something new to the table. Maybe I'll see these after all.

Be sure to read Mark's blog today and watch STATIN NATION (First 13 mins) - YouTube. There's another good book on Cholesterol "The Cholesterol Con" which is an easier read than the other book.
Really, even if you're not loosing weight, I wouldn't worry about those numbers at all. Your numbers are about the same as mine. I've completely stopped considering cholesterol as anything but good. I understand that the Pattern B and the VLC are detrimental, aslo that no tests are reliable. I hope that staying on PB will help eliminate them, but in today's world hoping is the best and least risky option.

Dan Henderson. Photo property of the Ultimate Fighting Championship.
The matchup that will eventually be selected to headline UFC 105 in Manchester, England on November 15 is anyone's guess at this point, but for now, we at least have two fights that could be under consideration for the spot.
Despite reports stating that Dan Henderson isn't interested in a showdown with fellow UFC middleweight contender Nate Marquardt, UFC officials are reportedly targeting a fight between the two as the main event of UFC 105 according to MMA FanHouse's Ariel Helwani.
As of right now, Michael Bisping's return bout against Denis Kang and a welterweight bout between Dan Hardy and Dong-Hyun Kim are the only fights advertised for the show's main card. Complicating matters even further is Josh Gross' Sports Illustrated report stating that Henderson isn't even under contract with the UFC at the moment.
Henderson reportedly finished off the remaining fight on his UFC contract with his highlight-reel knockout of Bisping at UFC 100 in July. According to Gross, Henderson and the UFC are currently working on a new deal but negotiations are being described as "slow" at the moment.
A verbal agreement was reportedly reached prior to the announcement of Henderson's previously scheduled rematch with Rich Franklin for UFC 103 later this month, but fell apart after fans reacted to the bout in a negative way. (Message boards lit up in the days after the fight was announced with cries of a second fight between the two being unnecessary)
New UFC signee Antonio Rogerio Nogueira was also reported as a possible opponent for Henderson at UFC 105, but those rumors ended up being false.
If an agreement with Henderson is unable to be reached in the coming days, the UFC could be leaning towards moving a scheduled heavyweight clash between former champion Frank Mir and slick striker Cheick Kongo from UFC 107 in December to UFC 105 per UK-based Fighters Only Magazine.
The switch would likely severely impact both Mir and Kongo, who would be heading into the fight with shortened training camps, but would give UFC 105 a main event with enough star power to draw decent numbers for a planned Spike TV broadcast of the event.

The No. 2-ranked Syracuse Orange had no problem dispatching the North Carolina Tar Heels, 57-45, in a Saturday afternoon matchup between ACC opponents.
The Orange utilized their patented zone defense to limit the Tar Heels to just 39.2 percent field-goal shooting in the game. UNC wasn't any better from beyond the arc, connecting on a paltry two of 12 three-point attempts.
Andrew Carter of The News & Observer found that this is the fewest points the Tar Heels have scored in the Roy Williams era:
#UNC down 55-38. 3:41 left. Record for fewest points under Roy (48) is in peril here.— Andrew Carter (@_andrewcarter) January 11, 2014
ESPN Stats & Info pointed out that it tied UNC's lowest point total of the shot clock era:
North Carolina w/ 45 pts - tied for its fewest in the shot clock era (in 45-44 WIN at NC State in 1997; Antawn Jamison had 12). #UNCvsCUSE— ESPN Stats & Info (@ESPNStatsInfo) January 11, 2014
Shane Ryan of Grantland was quick to point out the absurdity of North Carolina's failed three-point barrage:
Look, when you have the nation's 265th-best 3-pt shooting percentage, you gotta live or die by the three, right?— Shane Ryan (@ShaneRyanHere) January 11, 2014
A packed house was on hand to witness this shellacking, as Stephen Bailey of The Daily Orange pointed out it was the biggest and noisiest crowd thus far at the Carrier Dome during the 2013-14 campaign:
The official attendance is 32,121. Largest and loudest crowd of the season by far.— Stephen Bailey (@Stephen_Bailey1) January 11, 2014
It wasn't an overall awful game for UNC, as the program got off to a hot start and fought the Orange over the initial minutes. However, the Tar Heels fell into a terrible slump midway through the first half and never recovered:
After starting the game 7-11 from the field, UNC has gone just 1-12.— Syracuse Athletics (@Cuse) January 11, 2014
North Carolina is now 10-6 and 0-3 in ACC play, a concerning trend that Jeff Goodman of ESPN noted may be an issue when it comes time for the selection committee to debate the team's worthiness for the NCAA tournament:
North Carolina on its way to 0-3 in ACC play. Question becomes what Tar Heels can finish in league and still get in NCAA tourney.— Jeff Goodman (@GoodmanESPN) January 11, 2014
Syracuse is now 16-0 on the year with three wins in the conference. There is no question that the Orange are bound for the tournament as they continue to make their case for a No. 1 seed.
Let's take a look at the notable players involved in this contest and dole out some grades for their performances.
Game Grades
C.J. Fair, F, Syracuse: A
Fair was dominant in this matchup, putting up 20 points, eight rebounds, two blocks, one assist and one steal.
The Orange's official Twitter feed noted that it was his 15th double-figure scoring performance in 16 attempts this year:
CJ Fair is now in double figures for the 15th time in 16 games. He has 11 points as cuse leads 19-15.— Syracuse Athletics (@Cuse) January 11, 2014
It was just another solid all-around day for the senior forward, who has been Syracuse's best player and arguably one of the most consistent players in the nation during the 2013-14 campaign.
James Michael McAdoo, F, UNC: B
McAdoo was one of only two UNC players to score in double digits in this game. He finished the day with 15 points, nine rebounds, two assists, three steals and a block.
His efforts at the free-throw line were troubling, however, as McAdoo connected on just one of his six attempts from the stripe.
Regardless, McAdoo did his job for the most part. Unfortunately for the Tar Heels, he received almost zero support from his teammates, and that was a large reason why this one ended in a blowout.
Tyler Ennis, G, Syracuse: B+
Ennis may be one of the best freshmen in the country, a question posed by ESPN College Basketball.
Is Tyler Ennis the best freshman in the country? #UNCvsCUSE— ESPN College BBall (@ESPNCBB) January 11, 2014
He's gaining more attention for his control of the offense and tempo, demonstrated by a 10-point, seven-assist, four-rebound, two-steal game.
While Ennis only connected on five of 13 field-goal attempts, he still made enough plays to help 'Cuse run away with a victory.
What's Next
The Orange will prepare for a trip to Massachusetts to take on struggling Boston College in Chestnut Hill on Jan. 13. The Eagles don't project to provide much of a challenge, and it would be downright surprising if Syracuse failed to run away with a blowout victory, even on the road.
Will UNC win its next game against BC?
Don't expect 'Cuse to face a major challenge until Feb. 1, when the school has a marquee showdown with the Duke Blue Devils.
UNC is left to pick up the pieces after this blowout loss ahead of a Jan. 18 meeting with BC. Head coach Roy Williams must find a way to get his squad back on track and playing better in the conference during the week-long layoff.
The Tar Heels definitely have what it takes to turn it around—as evidenced by wins over Louisville, Michigan State and Kentucky earlier in the year—but must prove they can do exactly that sooner than later.

Three miles of coral reef off Lake Worth Inlet, Fla. were heavily damaged and Florida state divers are trying to determine how the reef was damaged and by whom. According to a report on WPTV.com, a trail of destruction along the Flower Garden Reef stretches about three miles to the Lake Worth Inlet. Diver Van Blakeman was in 45 feet of water when he noticed a trail of corals and barrel sponges torn apart, as if "something skipped across the top of the reef and dug into the rock itself cutting everything off in its path."

Brian Shaw to interview to be Pacers assistant
Brian Shaw has given much to the Lakers as both player and coach, and now he'll be moving on -- perhaps getting back in touch with his Celtics side.
Shaw will interview this week with former Celtics teammate Larry Bird -- now Indiana Pacers president -- to be Frank Vogel's lead assistant coach with the Pacers, according to Mike Wells of the Indianapolis Star.
Shaw previously interviewed to be the head coach of the Pacers ... four years ago. Shaw actually turned down the chance to interview to be the Rockets' head coach this offseason upon realizing previous head-coaching experience was a likely prerequisite to getting it. So being an assistant in Indiana is certainly not a dream job or anything, but it would be a new challenge.
And in a twist somewhat similar to Mike Brown vacating the Cleveland head-coaching job to be replaced by Byron Scott, who would've been a candidate this offseason to replace Phil Jackson as Lakers head coach, Shaw would be going to be Indiana's top assistant when Brown already did that.
Brown, who beat out Shaw to be the new Lakers head coach, was the Pacers' associate head coach for two years before getting the top job in Cleveland. Oh, and extending the musical-chairs mix further, Shaw was a finalist alongside Scott to get Brown's old job in Cleveland before pulling out upon realizing LeBron James wouldn't be there to be coached.

Bringing joy to kids' life in Sri Lankan tsunami camp
12 December 2005
by Natasha Haradhvala
Part of the reason Angiolillo decided to go to Sri Lanka was that she considered her prior life experiences so "sheltered." She wanted to view the world from a larger perspective after growing up in such a privileged area of the world.
"It's also another way they learn English, through simple interactions with us - things like 'pass the ball!' and 'over here!'" Angiolillo said.
When asked what work there is left to accomplish, Angiolillo replied, "Where do I start?" The tsunami camp inhabitants are faced with many problems, including bad hygiene, crime and a lack of food.
However, she and the other volunteers did all they could to help make life easier for the camp inhabitants. They scheduled a doctor to come twice a week and bought the drugs he would prescribe.
Although they could not afford to purchase food for all the families, they did buy the children ice cream cones when they went to market.

I have a specific host that I connect to that uses a totally different
ssh version than the normal one that I use. I would like to see if it
is possible to setup the normal ssh to call the correct ssh then the
time comes. I tried to use the ProxyCommand with no win since I am
having a hard time with the netcat command and the such. Can anybody
here give me a hand to set this up. I was hopeing that it would be as
easy as:
Host: *.funnydomain.com
ProxyCommand: /usr/bin/fssh %h %p
Where /usr/bin/fssh is a quick shell script to call the right binary
pointing to the right config file.
Thanks in advance.

UA run game in good shape
I keep hearing that fans are worried about Alabama's running game. I don't get it. With a freshman phenom, a redshirt freshman phenom and two punishing veteran returnees, what's the problem? ¶
Not to sound like a homer, but Alabama's rushing attack will be fine, especially with the help of the offensive line. Maybe better than fine. Look what the running game did in the A-Day Game. ¶
How the player rotation evolves will be interesting to see. I think all four could excel in certain situations. ¶
Alabama has historically had strong runners in good times and bad. That trend will continue as more high school players realize they can make it to the pros in a multiple-back offense. That's the norm now in the NFL, where few teams have the luxury of or want a featured back.
Jeremy Fox,
Better use of $30,000
I was shocked to read about the smashing of Alabama's $30,000 crystal trophy. What a waste. I want to suggest an alternative. ¶
In the future, instead of super-expensive trophies that can be destroyed in a moment, why not request the $30,000 be donated to a charity of the winning team's choice in its honor? This would do so much good and would be something that would last.
Mary Runnels,
Altadena Valley
At least UA has a trophy
A lot of jokes are being made about Alabama's broken trophy. What's so surprising is, with as many trophies as Alabama has, that it hasn't happened sooner. ¶
There are plenty of schools where someone could let a bull loose in their trophy room and do hardly any damage at all. Some of those schools struggle to fill their scholarship rosters the same way they do their trophy cases.
Christopher Smith,
Oakland, Tenn.
Fans should thank Lowder
Excellent column that Kevin Scarbinsky wrote, raising the question of where Auburn would be without Bobby Lowder. ¶
I'm not sure anyone can answer that question until time has passed. But when it is discussed, there will be some prejudice, I'm afraid. It's like politics. Few people want to give thanks to those who have the money to produce corporations and jobs. People want the rich to pay more without consideration for what they have put into the nation's economy. Just blast 'em for being rich and bring 'em down with the rest of us! ¶
I am convinced that a lot of Auburn folks don't really appreciate what Lowder has done for their alma mater. Too many have said: "Bring him down with the rest of us. He is not entitled to carry more weight than anyone else." Well then, step up, alumni, and take up the slack that Lowder leaves behind as he leaves the board of trustees. Open up your pocketbooks and shell out like he has. In doing so, you might come to appreciate what the man and his family have done for Auburn University. Should that give Lowder clout? I think it should. ¶
Will Auburn be lost without Bobby Lowder? No. But Auburn will certainly miss him.
Hugh Walton,
Athens, Ga.
Admiration for Summitt
I'm not a Tennessee alum and don't follow women's college basketball. But Pat Summitt has transcended both and I certainly admire her. Jon Solomon's column about her was very well done.
Phil Beetley,
Junior won't work hard
Years ago King Richard Petty asked son Kyle what he wanted to do -- sing or drive race cars. I think somebody should have that conversation with Dale Earnhardt Jr. ¶
Doug Demmons wrote that Junior appears on the verge of a victory. But I do not believe the guy has his heart into auto racing. Sure, when he is at the track and getting into the car, he has the focus. But during the week, I am not so sure. ¶
The schedule of a Cup driver is stretched pretty thin already. But look at all the irons he has in the fire. Didn't I see him in a GoDaddy.com commercial? A TV commercial takes at least a day to shoot, often two or three. By his own admission, he plays video games until the wee hours. He has his Busch team, his nightclub, hunting and whatever else. ¶
Winning takes preparation and concentration. Between races he should watch race tapes, as football and baseball players do game tapes. He should study engineering in an effort to better understand chassis design and performance. I am not sure he does these things. ¶
I believe he likes driving the cars and the lifestyle. I just do not believe the drive to excel is there. Maybe if daddy had lived, things would be different.

Well, I don't mean that the skaters should wear masks or that someone should write ridiculous scripts for them to act out, like wrestling. But back in the "golden age," most of the skaters had an interesting back story or persona that made people like them (or not) for reasons other than their edges or knee bends. Look how they do it on reality shows. Everyone has some sort of a sob story or some sort of an angle. I don't remember if Nancy flutzed or if Maria Butyrskaya had good posture, but I remember that one had a blind mother and the other was "woman among girls."
I don't know if we have an unusually happy/well adjusted bunch here, or if the coverage in the US is so sparse that we really don't get to know them very well. But they're not "popping" as personalities as they did before, which may not affect the skating or judging, but may affect popularity in the future.
Being a skating fan after the inception of IJS i personally find it natual to see slating with so much content in it but watching skating from the past on Youtube has been refreshing. The connection which you talk about is certainly there. The role of the choreographer then seemed to have a larger role in a skater's program then compared to now as they had more freedom.
I think it's just human nature to look back on the past and fawn over things because, well, it's an easy way to discredit the present. The fact is, while skaters like Dorothy Hamill, Katerina Witt, Kristi Yamaguchi, Scott Hamilton, etc. were all amazing for their respective quads, it's not like I (or most people) are actually rushing home to watch videos of their programs. Sure, they were impressive for their time, but to me the style of skating along with the technical elements all look terribly dated (as they should....the world and figure skating has changed a lot since they were dominant skaters).
So...it's not surprising when certain commentators or figure skating enthusiasts casually dismiss skaters of the present era. Sure, in 20 years Yuna, Mao, Carolina, Patrick, etc...all of their work will look dated and a bit kitchsy...just like every other skater that has ever been. No skater, however beautiful they were for their time, really holds up THAT well over time. And that's totally ok. I think it's just annoying that some commentators think certain skaters' work will be viewed SOOOO much more affectionately than any other top skater's work. In the end, it's all gonna look like it came from some bygone era.
Maybe the newer future icons would never be as revered as the older ones because nostalgia ain't what it used to be.
Basically, older skaters are both devalued and over-valued, depending on whom you ask. Go to any youtube video of an older skater's performance and you'll find a ton of disrespectful comments from younger fans and current amateur skaters bashing them and laughing at how easy and "lame" everything looks.
I think it's quite opposite. We often underrate the past skaters. Most people really appreciate what they can see during their life. If we made here a poll for the best ever skaters, I suppose that none of the skaters from 1970s or earlier, would win it.
I completely agree. But if you made a poll here in this forum, do you think they would be leading? I just doubt, but hope I'm wrong.Dick Button, John Curry, Toller Cranston, Janet Lynn, Protopopovs, Irina Rodnina... no "best ever" list could be considered remotely comprehensive without these names on on it.

Poster issued by Hungarian Democratic Forum
'Hungarian Democratic Forum [MDF]'
István Orosz
Colour offset lithograph printed on paper
Museum no. E.2167-1990
This poster is a succinct graphic representation of the collapse of communist rule and the re-emergence of an independent Hungary. The insignia of the People's Socialist Republic of Hungary cracks and breaks apart to reveal an older coat of arms belonging to the Hungarian Kingdom of the Middle Ages. This was the coat of arms adopted in 1990 as the official symbol of the new Hungarian Republic. The communist symbols are rendered grey and tomb-like in contrast to the colour of the national coat of arms.

NASCAR Wire Service
TALLADEGA, Ala. -- Matt Kenseth had a simple explanation for his failure to win the Aaron's 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup race Sunday at Talladega Superspeedway: driver error.
Kenseth led the field to a green-white-checkered restart on Lap 193 from the outside lane. With a push from Roush Fenway Racing teammate Greg Biffle, Kenseth surged into the lead, clearing eventual race winner Brad Keselowski and diving to the bottom of the track with Biffle behind him.
But Kenseth and Biffle lost touch with each other, allowing Keselowski to take the lead with a sustained push from Kyle Busch. Keselowski and Busch decided the issue between them, with Kenseth, the Daytona 500 winner, finishing a disappointing third.
"I think we had the winning car -- we just didn't have the winning driver," Kenseth said. "That last restart, Greg and I got together like we did at Daytona, and of all the cars I raced around all day, Greg was really pushing me fast. We got in front of the 2 (Keselowski) and Kyle, and as soon as we became clear, it wasn't long after that that I looked back, and we were separated, and those two guys were outside of him.
"With nobody behind him, he lost his speed, and with me not paying enough attention during that to keep us hooked up, it cost us a shot at the win. It cost Greg a shot at the win."
If there's a small consolation for Kenseth, the driver of the No. 17 Ford moved into second place in the Cup standings, seven points behind Biffle.
Managing temperatures would have been the key to Jeff Gordon's success at Talladega -- had the pole-sitter not been waylaid by a Lap 143 crash that knocked him out of the race.
Even though it was an accident that proved his undoing, Gordon was critical of racing package that put so much emphasis on keeping the cars from overheating, even in pack drafts.
"This temp thing is kind of a joke," Gordon said after the crash. "They are going to have to fix that. We all knew that was going to be a big issue, but when you can't really even race because the temps -- even in a regular pack -- are an issue, we have to address that. Talladega is different than Daytona. Temps are different and we have to recognize that."
Carl Edwards, sidelined in the same crash, had a completely different impression.
"My temperatures were great all day," Edwards said. "We didn't have any trouble. I was hoping it wouldn't end up like this. It's too bad, but we'll just go race at Darlington (on Saturday)."
Contact between the Dodge of AJ Allmendinger and the Toyota of Denny Hamlin started the wreck that set up the green-white-checkered finish at Talladega, and after the race, both drivers saw the crash roughly the same way.
Moments after a restart on Lap 185, Hamlin ducked to the inside. Allmendinger tried to block, and his car turned off the right front of Hamlin's. Allmendinger slammed into Paul Menard's Chevrolet in a melee that involved nine cars.
"From inside (the car), I was pretty sure that I had middle position -- it's how I made up a lot of spots toward the end," Hamlin said. "I hooked him on the left rear, which means I was on the inside, and he hooked a hard left to try to block, but I was there.
"I turned him and a couple of other guys. Ruined a bunch of guys' days, but that's part of it. We're trying to go forward with a couple of laps to go, just like everybody else. If it's not me sticking it three-wide-middle, then someone (else) is with a few laps to go. You have to give guys room."
Like Hamlin, Allmendinger saw his winning chances disappear in the wreck.
"I had a chance to win the race until it all went down the drain," said Allmendinger, who started on the outside of the front row and finished 15th. "On the restart, everybody was getting after it. I tried to block. If Denny was already there, my apology."
With his car damaged more severely than Allmendinger's, Hamlin finished 23rd, two laps down.

More from the it's-all-relative-in-show-business file: Would-be singer Jamie Skylar, Don Johnson's younger sis, who has recently been talking about her brother's past drug use, now says she has penned a song about Don. Lyrics include: "Caught up in a world so far gone you get disillusioned/ You got lost in all its money and confusion." Says Jamie, 35, about her rift with Johnson, "All brothers and sisters have their ups and downs. We'll make up but it'll come from me. It always has."...
Eddie Murphy's brother, rapper Vernon Lynch Jr., 21, says he doesn't appreciate insinuations that being related to Eddie helped him bag a record deal. Vernon says his signing was due to "raw talent." However, on Lynch's first LP, due Sept. 29, one of the songs he does with partner Wardell Mahone is called "Somebody's Brother." The chorus goes, "You see, I don't mind workin' undercover/It's a blessing not a curse to be somebody's brother."...
And, Robert Wagner's oldest daughter, Katie, 24, has landed an on-air job with the Movietime cable service. She'll introduce film clips and interview celebrities.
Director Jonathan (Married to the Mob) Demme, who just finished shooting a music video with the Feelies (the band from his film Something Wild), says the next movie on his schedule is going to be Miami Blues. The cast will include Fred (Big Business) Ward, Alec (Married to the Mob) Baldwin and Jennifer Jason (Under Cover) Leigh. "Alec plays a blithe psychopath, and Fred is a homicide detective who gets beat up," says Demme.
Carnie Wilson, 20, daughter of Beach Boy Brian Wilson, has always been the shoo-in to play Cass Elliot in the film version of Michelle Phillips' California Dreamin', about Michelle's days with the Mamas and the Papas. At 5'4" and close to 200 lbs., Carnie fitted the role of the bountiful Mama Cass—who died in 1974—dangerously well. No more. With the help of nutritionist Lisa Roth (David Lee Roth's sister), Carnie has lost more than 60 pounds in four months. Says the still shedding Wilson: "I'd rather be thin and healthy than play a part. Besides, the producers say they can pad me to make me look heavier. I plan on being 120 lbs. by Christmas." Michelle's part will be played by Chynna Phillips, 20, who is her daughter by Papa John Phillips.
What's in a name? Rumor has it that the middle name of Rumer Glenn Willis, the new baby daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore, is in honor of Glenn Gordon Caron, executive producer of Moonlighting and one of Bruce's best friends. Rumor does not have it concerning the firstborn's first name. Says Willis' publicist: "Bruce does not discuss his personal life and has not told us anything about the baby's name."

Samar Wahba, UN Volunteer with UNICEF in Egypt
Egypt: As an Education Specialist assigned to UNICEF Egypt, UN Volunteer Samar Wahba spends her days in the Upper Egypt governorates of Assiut, Sohag, and Qena. There, she monitors and evaluates an early childhood development project designed to increase the kindergarten and school enrollment of four- to six-year-olds by improving the quality of education in these poor areas.
The project began in 2007 and includes among its partners Egypt's Ministries of Education and Social Solidarity, research institutes, the private sector and UNICEF in Upper Egypt.
Drawing on her experience in the field of education and international curriculum, Samar ensures the children in this area are able to learn through the same modern education tools as those practiced in Egypt's major city, Cairo.
Samar assesses the trainings given to and implemented by the teachers. She also writes funding proposals for needed project activities as well as making recommendations for the future.
Samar attributes the strengthening of the relationship between the Government and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) as a direct result of the project. She also credits the project for improvement in the tie between the NGO administrations and the parents, which has become more coherent and effective.
"I found it a pleasure to see those children having the opportunity to learn, play, express their feelings, and participate in different activities as the others do. To watch the teachers while interacting with love and tenderness with the kids in the class was a great experience."

Michael Schumacher's family has provided French investigators with the helmet camera that the Formula One great wore during a skiing incident in which he was critically injured, his manager said Saturday.
Schumacher's condition remains critical but stable, manager Sabine Kehm wrote in an email Saturday.
He has been in a medically induced coma since Sunday, when he fell while skiing and struck his head on a rock.
Kehm also sought to play down media speculation about Schumacher's health, and requested respect for the family's privacy.
Citing consultations with Schumacher's doctors, she said no press conferences were expected before Monday.
Schumacher's wife, Corinna, his father Rolf and brother Ralf together with family doctor Gerard Saillant and the FIA President visited the hospital in southeastern Grenoble on Saturday.
The German driver and his family typically celebrate Christmas, New Year and his birthday at their ski house in the French resort of Meribel, where the accident happened.
Schumacher, known affectionately as Schumi by fans, is the most successful F1 driver in history, racking up a record 91 race wins.
He retired in 2012.

My husband and I both see Dr. Babu and we have been very pleased.
Completely unprofessional.
I do like Dr. Suresh Babu but I think he is afraid to prescribe medication. I like older doctors who are not afraid to medicate. If you need medication to resolve an issue by golly get it prescribed. I went in for a throat infection and I knew what helped me out in the past and he was scared to prescribe it. Blood work with him Not a problem he will get your blood work done in a seconds notice. The office also calls to make sure what the outcome is following another appointment.Medication is an issue with him. He is very careful so if your a conservative person who wants to see him every two weeks to a month go for it. The infection I had he could of hit it from more than one angle. I had to go home and use what my last doctor gave me to help out with my cold/allergy symptoms. He does think about cost of the prescriptions. He will give samples if he has it but not to many. Another thing is that I do not think all allergy medications are the same like he does. So there is my utmost opinion about Dr. Suresh Babu when you have had the best its hard to go for less. Yes, I would see him again only if I have what I fully need and he would be my back up.
Dr. Babu is very caring and has good bedside manners. Spends time and explains the condition.He is our family doctor and takes care of us. I would recommend him without any hesitation.
Dr Babu is a caring Doctor, You can't find to many city Doctors like that. His bed side manner is friendly and full of concern for his patients. He's a GREAT!!! Doctor.

Finding Joy After Tragedy with Ann Curry and #26ActsofKindnessYolanda Machado
Since the tragedy in Connecticut last Friday, I have tried to stay off social media and away from the news. I saw too many of my friends start fighting with each other with differing views on what they felt needed to be done. Personally, I felt it was too soon, that it was a time to mourn together. I spent the weekend offline and spending some much needed time with my family. But when I finally came back, the news was still there. The arguments still heated. The difference was, now I wanted to do…something. But what?
This morning, as I browsed my Facebook stream, my friend Isra had linked a new post of hers called The Good, The Bad, The Ugly: Newtown, CT #26Acts. She described a random act of kindness, how it made her feel and in turn, how she was inspired on doing the same. This was a movement I wanted to be a part of.
The inspiration behind it all was a post written by Ann Curry. "If you do good, you feel good", she explained. In her post she states, "There is no judgment. I think that's the key. If people want to do it, great. But I think that if they do it, something great happens to you." I think that is my favorite part- No Judgment.
Don't get me wrong. My opinions on gun control, the health care system and mental health care are very alive and strong. I'm one of those that believes the "right to bear arms" is antiquated and it should be changed, or even repealled. Plus, coming from a someone who dealt with a family member with depression and anxiety issues, I know first hand that we need a major mental health care overhaul. But I know that I need to heal in my own way first. I want to remember that people aren't all bad. That people can be actually be good to each other. I choose to remember the children and adults who were taken so viciously by doing one random act of kindness for each.
Ann Curry, I'm in. Who else is with me?

ABC announced yesterday that it will put ``NYPD Blue'' and ``Ellen'' on hiatus for two months, beginning in March, in order to launch midseason replacement series, including a sitcom starring Arsenio Hall.
Both shows will return in time for May sweeps, the network said.
Not so lucky is ``Murder One.'' The critically acclaimed but little-watched series will leave the air after Jan. 23, which will mark the verdict in the second of the show's three trials this season. That season, likely to be the show's last, will conclude in a three-night, six-hour mini-series scheduled to air April 13, 14 and 17.

Police have captured the woman they say ran over a bicyclist, then fled the scene.
Apopka police said Li-tasha Stokes ran over Donald Marion last Saturday, looked at his body and drove off.
Marion was thrown from his bicycle when he rode into the path of another car on Park Avenue.
Officials said Stokes ran over the Marion who was laying in the street. She claimed someone else at the scene told her she could leave.
Authorities said if Stokes had stayed at the scene of the incident, she would not have been charged.

"My worst fault," Anthony Quinn once said, "is that at the end of the day find it extremely difficult—impossible, even—to turn off the character and let him rest until tomorrow.... I'm that character until the film is finished." The characters—hard-palmed guys with a burning thirst for life—were never a stretch for Quinn, whose own protean appetites were best reflected in the character named Zorba, the Greek peasant whose passions came to represent Quinn's own during a career that spanned nearly seven decades.
His third wife, Kathy Benvin, 38, mother of the two youngest of his 13 children (with all three of his wives and two mistresses), and his son Lorenzo, 35, were by his side when the two-time Oscar winner died of respiratory failure at a Boston hospital June 3. "It was me and Kathy holding his hand," says Lorenzo, a sculptor whose mother is Quinn's second wife, Iolanda Addolori. "The world lost a legend. I lost a great father."
That legend extended far beyond the movies. Friends remember Quinn, who recently acted in the film Avenging Angelo with Sylvester Stallone and was planning to appear in another with Ricky Martin, as an often foul-mouthed Old Hollywood bon vivant consumed with both work and play. "If anybody had a lust for life, it was Tony," says actor Christopher Lee, 79, a three-time costar. He was as comfortable in an art studio—as a painter and sculptor whose work was exhibited internationally—as he was in a film studio—as a veteran of more than 150 movies, including 1964's Zorba the Greek. And even when playing opposite the likes of Kirk Douglas and Peter O'Toole, "he was always the center of attention," says actor Malcolm McDowell, Quinn's costar in 1979's The Passage. "There was no watching anybody else when he was on the screen."
Born in Chihuahua, Mexico, to a half-Mexican, half-Indian mother and a half-Mexican, half-Irish father, a soldier, Anthony Rudolph Oaxaca Quinn spent a childhood colored by his parents' devotion to the rebel leader Pancho Villa, for whom they fought in the Mexican Revolution. His mother, Manuela, joined the cause, said Quinn, "because for most of her life she had been shunned by the wealthy landowners whose blood she carried." The family moved to El Paso, Texas, in 1917, when Quinn was 2, and then to California, where his father, Francisco, died in a car accident in 1925.
In school in Los Angeles, Quinn set his sights on architecture after winning a contest that provided him the opportunity to meet with Frank Lloyd Wright. "I was hoping he'd want to adopt me," an older Quinn remembered in his 1995 autobiography, One Man Tango. "I really loved him." Quinn, who dropped out of 10th grade, took on various jobs, including fruit picker, musician, boxer, mattress-factory worker, taxi driver and apprentice preacher with the renowned evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson. "I have known most of the great actresses of my time, and not one of them could touch her," Quinn once said of the spellbinding McPherson, whom he credited with inspiring Zorba's gesture of the dramatically outstretched hand.
By the time he was 21, Quinn had dropped preaching for performing. In 1936 Quinn parodied matinee-idol-of-the-day John Barrymore (grandfather of Drew) in a stage play starring Mae West and soon found work as a $3.50-a-day film extra in a Harold Lloyd comedy. Later that year, on the Paramount Pictures lot in Hollywood, he met Katherine De Mille, the adopted daughter of Cecil B. De Mille, a towering Hollywood figure and one of the town's most powerful directors. At the time, Quinn was an extra playing an Indian in De Mille's 5 sprawling 1936 western The Plainsman, starring Gary Cooper. One day Quinn piped up as the tyrannical De Mille was upbraiding the cast and crew. The newcomer not only let the venerable old master know how he should shoot the scene but also told him what he could do with his $75-a-day salary. According to Quinn, De Mille replied, "The boy's right," and later called the outburst "one of the most auspicious beginnings for an actor I've ever seen."
Quinn married Katherine in 1937, but even his new family connections couldn't override the typecasting of the day. "I was never accepted as an American," he recalled for The New York Times in 1995. "The blond boys were the heroes. So I played the villains." After finding success on the stage in the late '40s—he appeared has Stanley Kowalski in A Streetcar Named Desire on Broadway—he 's made his film breakthrough playing t the brother of a Mexican revolutionary (Marlon Brando) in 1952's Viva Zapata!, for which he won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar. Four years s later he won another for his work as artist Paul Gauguin opposite Kirk Douglas's Vincent van Gogh in Vincente Minnelli's Lust for Life—an impressive feat, since Quinn was onscreen for only eight minutes.
Quinn shone in larger-than-life action roles—a thuggish circus strongman in Federico Fellini's 1954 classic La Strada, a Greek partisan fighting the Germans in 1961's The Guns of Navarone and a bandit chief in David Lean's 1962 Lawrence of Arabia. In the '80s he played the country's largest arenas in a stage musical adaptation of his signature Zorba. "Every single night he got a standing ovation," says Lorenzo Quinn. "Sixteen hundred performances and the poor stand-in never got to perform, even when [my father] had a fever of 102. He realized people went to see Anthony Quinn as Zorba. Nobody could do Zorba like him."
Although his later parts were less memorable, Quinn was seldom boring. For 1978's campy The Greek Tycoon, he was offered $1 million and the lead as a thinly disguised Ari Onassis to Jacqueline Bisset's Jackie O. The real Jackie asked Quinn not to do it, and Quinn claimed he at first demurred out of respect. But when, soon after, the former First Lady snubbed him—perhaps inadvertently—in a restaurant in the South of France, Quinn called his agent and accepted the part.
He could be equally capricious as a spouse. When, on their wedding night, De Mille confided that she was not, at 26, a virgin—and that she had slept with Clark Gable—Quinn declared he wanted a divorce. Though he recanted a few hours later, he never forgave and was famously unfaithful to De Mille, who divorced him in 1965 and died of complications from Alzheimer's disease in 1995.
According to his own boasts, Quinn bedded, among others, Rita Hayworth, Carole Lombard, Maureen O'Hara and Ingrid Bergman. Actress Ruth Warrick says Quinn once told her, "I want to impregnate every woman in the world"—and in fact he acknowledged having children with five. "We chased women together," Tony Curtis recalls. When one wide-eyed young woman told Curtis she was seeing Quinn, "I asked her what did she call the baby," says Curtis, 76. "That was his reputation."
While still married to De Mille, Quinn met Venice-born wardrobe mistress Iolanda Addolori on the Rome set of Barabbas in 1961. They wed in 1966 and had three sons, but Quinn's roving eye eventually settled on Kathy Benvin. "I put in a classified ad for a secretary [in 1984], and she answered," he told PEOPLE in 1998. "I knew how I felt, but I was a little afraid to tell her. It's a love story I want to make a picture about."
Not so the 1997 divorce from Iolanda, which was a buffet of tabloid headlines. One of their sons, Daniele, testified that Quinn had beaten Iolanda during their 31-year marriage. (Quinn denied it.) In court papers, Iolanda herself claimed that Quinn "kept a harem" during the 1961 filming of Lawrence of Arabia. In the end, Iolanda received half of Quinn's reported $15 million in assets. "Oh, darling, I could write a book, but I'm not going to," Addolori, 67, says now. "Of course I forgive him. I don't feel that he has left. His spirit is here."
His life with Benvin, whom he married in 1997, proved less tumultuous. Living in a waterfront estate in Bristol, R.I., Quinn worked on his art and doted on his children with Benvin—Antonia, 7, and Ryan, 4—taking them to school, the zoo and local restaurants. "I can't say that I recommend it for everyone," he said of being an octogenarian new father, "but it's wonderful. It's only being reborn again." Perhaps he cherished his brood more because of the 1941 death of his first child with De Mille, Christopher, then 3, who wandered into the yard of neighbor W.C. Fields and drowned in the comedian's swimming pool. Quinn never spoke of the death, but said he lived through the grief on stage when Zorba would reflect on his dead son. But little could keep Zorba—or Quinn—down. Throughout his life, the actor reminisced in One Man Tango, he found himself among marvelous teachers, great artists and brilliant writers. "I have often thought there must be a fine magnet inside me," he wrote, "because this is the only way I know to explain the kindness and friendship of so many luminous souls."

Voice: Marlene Bean, Saginaw
For some, Memorial Day means a three-day weekend. For others it means remembering their loved ones by going to the cemetery to clean off their stones and leave fresh flowers, a potted plant or, if permitted, plant flowers.
The City of Saginaw let us down again. No water was turned on at Oakwood Cemetery, and I assume the other city cemeteries as well. I heard water wasn't turned on until June 1.
Come on now. What would it hurt to turn it on a week earlier, or at least the Friday before Memorial Day? Shame on the City of Saginaw.

Whether you are choosing health care coverage, or helping someone else find a plan, UnitedHealthcare believes you should be able to choose coverage that fits your needs. And their role is to make health care work for you.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) plans are run by private insurance companies and combine Medicare Parts A (hospital coverage) and B (doctor coverage) plus additional benefits all in one plan. Many plans also include prescription drug coverage, known as MA-PD or Medicare Advantage with Prescription Drug plans.

Israel releases conscientious objector
By Zoe Winograd, June 4, 2013
Natan Blanc
An Israeli conscientious objector has been released after five and a half months in jail.
Natan Blanc, 20, refused to serve in the Israel Defence Forces because of his opposition to the occupation and spent 178 days in prison.
Members of his family and Yesh Gvul – an organisation which supports conscientious objectors – greeted Mr Blanc when he was released earlier today.
One of the Yesh Gvul activists commented: "We're glad that the IDF, even though it had to be pressured politically, understood that there's no point in remaining angry at someone because he isn't going to serve."
According to sources, Mr Blanc intends to complete his national service with Israeli ambulance service Magen David Adom.
