Felix Sturm Continues To Verbally Bash Arthur Abraham
By Ruslan Chikov
WBA middleweight champion Felix Sturm (37-2-2, 16KOs) has continued to hurl insults at the new WBO super middleweight beltholder Arthur Abraham.
Last Saturday in Berlin, Abraham (35-3, 27KOs) captured his current title with a hard-fought decision over Robert Stieglitz. This Saturday in Oberhausen, Sturm will face IBF champion Daniel Geale in a unification bout.
With a very important fight only days away, Sturm has been distracted by a recent report where Abraham's promoter, Sauerland Event, said Sturm turned down multiple offers to face Abraham.
Rather than talk about Geale, he continues to lash out at Abraham.
"Abraham suffered three devastating defeats. His management found the easiest way to lead him to the championship. They know that against the champions of the other federations they have no chance. Abraham selected a lightweight contender [to fight for a title], not a fighter of the same caliber like Dirrell, Froch or Ward - in a battle with them, he will be mercilessly beaten again. He has nothing to look for among the elite at middleweight. He is not a world class fighter," Sturm said.
While Abraham was defeated by the best at his weight, he still fought the best at his weight and took some of those fights in other countries. Sturm has been criticized for his failure to face the best fighters in his division, like Gennady Golovkin, Sergio Martinez and Kelly Pavlik, and his reluctance to leave Germany.

Minor bug fixes and optimized performance.
Customer Reviews
Glitches fixed! Thank you!!!!
This used to be a favorite of ours, but now there are glitches that are irritating. There are invisible obstacles in Winkie Country that used to be rocks falling down and in the Dark Forest wen tombstones and rocks fell down and the brambles that popped up are all now invisible. Please fix this-this is a favorite app, and this is a recent issue. 😕
Update: I also realized that there are many more things missing than I originally thought: missing gem Mountains in the clouds, missing weekly challenges, and a few more "buggy" issues that are annoying. I also haven't been able to attain some of the goals like "traveling to all the lands in one run," because there must be a fifth land that isn't been released or something? Am I right here?
Update II: now the game has been closing out mid game. Come on...I would really like to see a bug fix here. I would even be willing to pay for the game all over again if these thugs were fixed. I'm guessing that it's been deemed not worth it to the developers.
Update III: glitches are fixed and I now see the mountains and the formerly invisible things laying in front of me! Thank you!
I ❤❤❤ this game!!!!
I love this game so much!!❤ it is very fun!!and it really explains all of the fairytales and their are lots of different scenes!! And I like how you can pick different characters and if you die you can just watch a quick 10 second ad then they resume back to where you died!!! And it doesn't matter what age you are it is a great, fun, and adventurous game! Don't listen to the bad reviews! It is a great game and so worth the $1.99 and it barely takes up any storage!!!!😃 I hope you have a great day and you should get the app!!❤

Sage & Lemon Chablis
adapted from Giada's Family Dinners
yield: 1 bottle but you can bet your bottom dollar that I doubled this for our first kitchen encounter
-1 (750-ml) bottle
-8 fresh sage leaves, bruised
-peel of 1 lemon, removed in long strips w/ a vegetable peeler
Combine the wine, sage, and lemon peel in a clear glass container. Cover and let stand at room temperature for one day. Strain the wine into a pitcher and discard the solids. Or don't...I just did it in a couple of empty bottles and left the solids right in the bottle. Sure, I occasionally had a sage leaf or two slide into my mouth. No biggie.
Cover and refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. shyeah, right. Serve either chilled or at room temperature.
Until next week, Giada...
...and I'll see any of you Giada lovers or skeptics over at IHCC where we're now cooking with Giada De Laurentiis for the next six months!
**UPDATE: The reasoning behind me choosing Chablis over another wine is because it already has a bit of a lemony nose and I thought I'd be accentuating that. The lemon was very pronounced, as was the sage. I admit, I normally drink my wine sans additions, but I liked this version for a special occasion wine. Perhaps to give as a gift...especially if you're using a cheapo wine and are just laughin' it up with the girls. I'm not saying I'd give it to the local vintner (in good conscience)...and yeah, Chablis packs a little punch...

A newly established international industry-academic consortium is to receive funding from the Innovative Medicines Initiative (IMI) to develop new models and methods for the discovery of treatments for schizophrenia and depression. Led by H. Lundbeck and Kings College London, the NEWMEDS (novel methods leading to new medications in depression and schizophrenia) project plans on partnering with major academic institutions in Europe and Israel as well as global pharma companies like AstraZeneca, Eli Lilly, GlaxoSmithKline, Janssen Pharmaceutica, Novartis, Orion, Pfizer, Roche, Servier, and Wyeth.
The research will focus on developing new animal models for the identification of treatments for schizophrenia. It will also examine how genetic variations influence drug response. Additionally, the project aims to develop new approaches that will allow shorter and more efficient clinical trials.
The consortium believes there are currently a number of major bottlenecks preventing the translation of knowledge and research findings relating to schizophrenia and depression to the clinic. These include a lack of accurate animal models for drug discovery, a scarcity of tools and tests in healthy volunteers to provide early efficacy data, and the reliance in clinical trials on symptom-based diagnostic and statistical manual categories.
"While the biology of psychiatry has made remarkable progress, we have been slow in converting that into innovative and new medications," points out Shitij Kapur, M.D., at King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry. "This is a joint challenge for academia and industry. NEWMEDS is a joint response. It is not only scientifically innovative, but it is also an innovation in creating a cluster of nearly 50 scientists from both sides to work together to achieve a common goal of better, safer, and more effective medicines more quickly."
Tine Bryan Stensbl, M.D., divisional director for discovery pharmacology research at Lundbeck, adds, "NEWMEDS embodies a novel collaborative effort where companies join forces and together with academia answer scientific questions in a precompetitive environment that will form the basis of tomorrow's medicines. This joint effort will provide novel insights that undoubtedly will be to the benefit of the patients suffering from schizophrenia and depression."
The IMI, which will provide funding to NEWMEDS, is public-private partnership between the pharma industry's European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations and the EU. The initiative's goal is to promote and support Europe's position in drug discovery and development. The IMI's overall funding scheme has a budget of €2 billion, half of which will be provided by the EU's Seventh Framework Programme and half by EFPIA member companies.

Surprise is an understatement. We had a blast. The show was definitely unexpected. Our seats were right on the floor and were so close to the action.
The special effects were exciting. Each explosion was perfectly executed. It really felt like the characters from the comic came to life in the arena.
If you have young Marvels in your home this is for them. There are loud explosions, fire and gun shots. If your child is under 4 it may be frightening.
A must see.

There will be brief periods of black out, safe use of pyrotechnics, loud special effects and motion graphics.

Merging Waycross College and South Georgia College into a new college posed unexpected challenges, and opposition among community leaders has been replaced by support, according to the merged colleges' president.
"The cultural divide can be wide and deep for both internal and external constituencies," said Virginia Carson, president of South Georgia State College, which has campuses in Douglas and Waycross and "instructional units" at Georgia Southwestern State College in Americus and Valdosta State College.
The process of choosing a new name for 1-year-old South Georgia State was divisive, and so was choosing a new mascot to replace the two at Waycross and Douglas, she told the state Board of Regents on Tuesday.
Carson was the first of four college presidents scheduled to give updates on college consolidations stemming from the Regents' 2012 vote to consolidate eight of the state's public colleges and universities into four.
The consolidations also included a merger of Gainesville State College and North Georgia College and State University in the Athens area, the Medical College of Georgia and Augusta State University, and Cochran's Middle Georgia College with Macon State College.
The consolidation was also unexpectedly time consuming for college administrators and faculty, she said.
"We were running two institutions at the same time as we were creating a new one," she said.
But the merger of two schools 38 miles apart resulted in fewer administrative posts and more faculty and student support jobs, she said.
However, the extra administrative work continues as the new South Georgia State prepares for a review by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, she said.
"We must be accredited as a new college," she said.
The college has lost enrollment, and the consolidation could be part of the reason.
Carson said she was surprised to learn how dependent colleges are upon databases; when a new federal financial aid system took effect July 1, "data did not roll for Waycross students," she said.

An outstanding veteran pianist from Spain, Tete Montoliu was born blind. He learned to read music in Braille when he was seven and developed impressive technique on piano. He recorded with Lionel Hampton in 1956, had his first session as a leader in 1958, and played with the touring Roland Kirk in 1963. Through the years, he also worked with such visiting Americans as Kenny Dorham, Dexter Gordon, Ben Webster, Lucky Thompson, and even Anthony Braxton. Tete Montoliu's visits to the U.S. were very infrequent, but his SteepleChase albums (starting in 1971) are generally available; he also cut one date for Contemporary (1979) and recorded for Enja and Soul Note. ~ Scott Yanow

Awesome Hexapod Packs an LED Matrix
SAMSA is based on the Wiring board, with an ATmega128 microcontroller, and SAMSA II on the Arduino Mega, with an ATmega1280. Both are pretty similar, tough the ATmega1280 has 8 KB SRAM, twice the ATmega128. For SAMSA II the Arduino IDE was not used. The software was written directly in C++, using some libraries from both Arduino and Wiring.
SAMSA II has also two additional microcontrollers. One is an old Arduino Mini (ATmega168) located in the head, tasked with handling the sensors. The other is an ATmega8 and is integrated in the display. The firmware in the display was replaced with another one, freeing the main microcontroller from handling the display pixel by pixel, storing the frame buffer, etc.
The head's microcontroller is responsible for sampling, filtering and processing sensor's data. The data from the Sharp distance sensor and the lateral IR sensors are combined in a single "super smart distance sensor

As a closeted Temple University student in 1950, Edith Windsor could not have imagined the reception she would receive at her alma mater in 2014: an award for her activism; a standing ovation from a large, adoring crowd; a presentation from the mayor.
Windsor, now 84, won the lawsuit that toppled the federal Defense of Marriage Act in 2013 and has been called the matriarch of the gay-rights movement.
Sharp, stylish, trim, and funny, Windsor enjoyed every moment of her tribute at the university, including Mayor Nutter handing her a miniature, working Liberty Bell and proclaiming Saturday "Edie Windsor Day" in Philadelphia.

Right now the most efficient way for us to spread your message contained in art is through a t-Shirt. Pledging one of our rewards on the right ensures we can meet our minimum goal of $36,000. With this we will meet the minimum quantity required to deal with our american manufacturer and complete our first production run.
As you know $36,000 is our minimum goal to purchase the manufacturer's minimum quantity of goods. This is the absolute minimum for us to get started with the quality and scalability we feel is needed to be effective. What we want and need is always different though right? We want to spread as many of your ideas and support the livelihood of as many artists as we can! Below we have outlined the potential of The Creative Conspiracy based on how many of you back this project.
So here's the deal, of course there are always risks & challenges in business. That being said, we have prepared for this. Our manufacturer is a veteran of the industry and gives us a reliable way to efficiently produce the quality products that carry your ideas. At this point they are more of a partner and are excited to scale to whatever this campaign achieves.
And past that, I guess any of us could just randomly kick the bucket. We are all in great health, and we totally don't anticipate that but if it happened that would definitely be a challenge. To handle this risk we all eat annoyingly healthy, look 4 times before crossing the street, and floss daily... determined to make it!Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
That's simple... it used to just be called Aplomb and we were impatient while looking through the dictionary... seriously! The Creative Conspiracy took much more thought because it's your group and we wanted to get the name just right! We wanted you to understand that you are a part of community doing something important, below the radar, to benefit something bigger than the individual.
YOU! visit http://thecreativeconspiracy.com and request an invite!
You will have the option at the end of the campaign to receive a credit good at our store for a "Future Shirt" OR if by the time the campaign has ended you like another shirt we have added you may select it for your Future Shirt.
Statistically Black, Grey, and White T-Shirts sell the best, this might sound like we are doing this for profit, and profit is good it keeps the business alive, but the fact remains that the more shirts we sell, the more we can spread your ideas and support an artist's career. Artists routinely use Black and Grey for their own portfolios due to how they naturally emphasize the artwork. We do have plans to offer more colors and styles in the future, but seeing how the brand is relatively unknown, we focused on framing the artwork in the best way possible.
Good question, which we will answer with another question… How long do you wear shirts with pit stains? Not long, and that means your ideas and the artist are missing out on exposure!

Recap: Live-blogging 'SYTYCD' as a winner is named for season 8
The big day is here, so prepare yourself for all two hours of the "SYTYCD" finale! I'm going to live blog this, so let's just get to it. Hey, did you vote? Hope so, because this had to be a tight race after last night.
8:01 We kick things off with a massive group number featuring the top 20. that looks very Sonya Tayeh. At the end, our final four take center stage in warrior gear. Love that. Oh, it is Sonya. Cat calls her weird in a fabulous way.
8:05 The judges' table is stuffed. Lil' C, Robin Antin, Tyce Diorio, Sonya Tayeh, Jesse Tyler Ferguson of "Modern Family" (yay! One of the good celebrity judges -- and, thank God, not Debbie "It's All About Me" Reynolds), Mary Murphy and Nigel Lythgoe.
8:08 The judges give the final four props. Nigel actually apologizes for being insensitive to the guys for telling them they wouldn't win. I'm glad Nigel recognized his mistake and copped to it, actually. He was being honest, and I don't disagree with him, but maybe that was something he could have kept to himself.
8:10 A flashback to the auditions. Hey, there's Iveta! And Wadi! And Nigel kissing Mary! And Lady Gaga! This really was a good season, even if we were just watching the best bits.
8:15 Mary requests Sasha and All-Star Kent's wall number. Just as good as the first time, but I think this time it was shot better. When a routine uses so much of the stage, it really benefits from good camera work.
8:21 Oh dear. We're getting a montage of Nigel and Mary's most romantic moments. Cat is scarred for life. And this is all a segue to a routine by Marko and Melanie. God, they're good together. Marko and Melanie, I mean. I'm not so sure about Nigel and Mary. Especially when we see Nigel sitting on Jesse's lap.
8:26 Robin Antin picks a Tadd and Al-Star Lauren routine set to "Another One Bites the Dust." So good. I have to say, Tadd has demolished the B-boy box everyone had him in for so long. If he wins this (though I suspect it's Melanie or Sasha), I wouldn't be sad at all. He's amazing to watch. I feel like I've been pretty rah-rah this season, but it's hard not to be. It's been solid to say the least.
8:35 Lil' C wants to see the woodpecker routine by Robert and Miranda. God, I loved this one. I would have thought this routine alone would have bought them both more time in the competition.
8:38 Cat gets to pick a routine for once. And she picks the one that made her cry - Tyce's top 8 circus routine. It's a good routine, but not particularly sad. Still, good pick from Cat.
8:45 The current U.K. champion Matt Flint dances with Jess and Nick. He's a tapper. It's a good routine, and I will say Matt actually seems to know what to do with his arms. Nigel thinks it's one of the most exciting tap routines he's ever seen.
8:49 Mary picks the routine Melanie danced with All-Star Neil to "Total Eclipse of the Heart." God, Melanie is such a physically strong dancer.
8:55 This is such a fun episode! What is this for? Oh yeah, it's an elimination episode. Sigh.
8:56 Jesse picks a Sonya Tayeh number featuring Marko and All-Star Allison. I will say, anything set to any song by Jeff Buckley is just going to be devastating for many, many reasons. And if it's a cover of a Smiths song? Even more so. Which is not to say it's not a fabulous routine, because it is.
8:59 Tyce picks a sick, nasty number by Sonya Tayeh -- the geishas. I'd like Sonya to program a radio station. She just finds great music. Sometimes it doesn't work so well for dance (though it does here), but it's always interesting.
9:03 A mini-recap of last night. And they even left in Nigel's comment about the guys. Huh.
9:05 Results! The four dancers take the stage. One person is about to get the boot. Over 11 and a half million votes! The fourth dancer is... Tadd.
9:06 Tadd's only 5'4, but he's risen to every occasion. He seems pretty okay with fourth place, and he should be -- because he's definitely going to get work and lots of it. No, it's not the big money, but it's a career, and that's really the point, isn't it?
9:13 Lil' C picks another routine. He chooses Chris and Ashley dancing a Spencer Liff routine. This was probably my favorite Ashley routine, as she managed to get past her ballerina background and play a tough chick.
9:16 The final four meet Heather Morris, Harry Shum and Naya Rivera, who inform they'll get to go to the "Glee" 3D premiere. Cross-promotion!
9:19 NIgel picks Sasha and All-Star Twitch's routine. Great routine, absolutely the wrong song.
9:26 Sonya picks the 10 guy door dance. Good choice!
9:29 Jesse picks an Argentinian tango with Caitlynn and All-Star Pasha. I'm starting to get itchy for more results.
9:36 Mary picks Marko and Melanie's first dance -- the Travis Wall statue dance. They do wonders for togas.
9:39 Time for more results. The dancer in third place is... Marko. So, Nigel got it right or he coerced voters into thinking a vote for one of the guys was a vote wasted, depending on how you look at it. But I do think Melanie and Sasha are the top two dancers, so I'm not sure if Nigel had much of an impact on how anyone voted, really.
9:42 Marko loves his parents and loves his fellow contestants and he's just adorable.
9:48 Last judge's pick - it's Nigel's turn. He starts talking about the New York Times article in which a group of experts said none of the finalists are good enough to work. What???? That's ridiculous. Say what you want about the routines, but these kids are damn good dancers. That just seems petty to me. Anyway, Nigel picks a routine featuring Sasha and Melanie. I have to find that article. And possibly spit on it. Maybe Nigel was taking license, but I just find it hard to believe professional dancers don't think the final four will work.
6:54 Time for the big reveal! The winner, with 47 percent of the vote, is... Melanie. Sasha still got 32 percent of the vote. So well-deserved. The original beast won it!
So, that wraps it up. What a night! What a season!
Do you think Nigel's comment about the guys had an impact on the vote? Did your favorite dancer win? And what do you think of that New York Times article?

I am not one for instant hyperbole. In today's society, everyone is quick to anoint last night's performance, game or champion the best ever. Perspective is hard to have in today's era of instant analysis and opinion.
But, honestly, has there been a crazier Cleveland Browns offseason?
Think about what has transpired since the Browns lost to the Pittsburgh Steelers 13-9 on Jan. 1.
There was …
… the Browns losing the RG3 sweepstakes.
… draft day first-round selections of RB Trent Richardson, who the Browns moved up one spot to secure, and a 28-year-old quarterback in Brandon Weeden.
… the selection of WR Josh Gordon in the second round of the supplemental draft.
… big-time injuries to starting DT Phil Taylor and LB Chris Gocong.
… injury concerns about Richardson's knee and his absence in the preseason games.
… Joe Haden's pending suspension (banned substance)
… Scott Fujita's pending suspension (Bountygate).
… the biggest news items of all: Randy Lerner sold the team to Jimmy Haslem and four days before the start of the 2012 regular season, former team owner and the man responsible for moving the franchise to Baltimore in 1996, Art Modell, died.
News is never slow in Brownstown.
Now, attention can be turned to the field where an actual game that counts will be played at 1 p.m. Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's an opener so we would be remiss not to mention that since 1999, the Browns are 1-12 in Week One games.
All but two of those season-opening losses have come at Cleveland Browns Stadium.
This is already the second time these two teams will play in Cleveland within a month's time. On Aug. 24, the Browns and Eagles played each other in their respective third preseason game. Philadelphia won 27-10. In that game, the Eagles' quarterback pressure from its front four and wide-nine technique was evident.
"They're schemed to rush the passer," Browns head coach Pat Shurmur said. "You just look at the way they're lined up, wide-nine techniques, they crowd the ball and they get after you.
"What we've got to be able to do is first of all, we've got to be able to block them, whoever they put out there. The way they're structured, they've got eight guys that can get after you."
Philadelphia's Jason Babin thrived in the Eagles wide-nine defense, finishing with 18 sacks last season. He will be matched up with Browns rookie right tackle Mitchel Schwartz. In the preseason game against Philadelphia, Schwartz looked overwhelmed by the Eagles' pressure.
"I don't think it's any secret that those defensive ends are probably better athletes than the tackles they're blocking against," Browns offensive coordinator Brad Childress said. "You're technique has to be excellent as an offensive tackle to slide out."
Childress said there are various ways to block a wide-nine technique, especially mixing the Browns attack between pass and run. Enter the Browns' running game led by Trent Richardson, who has been listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
The rookie and third overall pick in last April's draft has yet to see an NFL field. In order to slow down the Eagles' pressure-filled defensive line, the Browns need to be able to run the football.
The Eagles offense proved last year they could run the ball with LeSean McCoy. In 2011, McCoy finished with 1,309 yards rushing and a league-best 17 touchdowns on 273 carries and he caught 48 balls for 315 yards and three touchdowns.
The Browns' front seven, decimated by injuries, will be faced with a gigantic challenge right out of the gate: Slow down McCoy.
Because of those aforementioned injuries, the Browns' front seven will be dotted with young players. It isn't relegated to the defense. Of the Browns' 53-man roster, 26 are either rookies (15) or second-year players (11).
None will be more scrutinized than rookie quarterback Brandon Weeden.
In the preseason, Weeden was 24-for-49 passing for 297 yards with no touchdowns and one interception.
"By all measures, this would be the next step for him," Childress said. "The speed of these regular season games, I think he has come along just about like you'd expect a rookie quarterback to. I don't think it has been too big for him. I think he has gone about it very methodically."
Sunday's game, like this offseason, will be anything but methodical for Weeden and his fellow rookies. More like chaotic, but if the Browns are going to ever improve it starts in week one.Here we go, it is the first of 16 of these. Football is back.

Playing poorly on both offense and defense, the Vols suffered a 78-70 loss to UTEP Thursday night in the quarterfinal round of the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament. The Big Orange shot just 34.9 percent (22 of 63) from the field and 14.3 percent (3 of 21) from 3-point range.
"Give those guys (Miners) credit," Vol head man Cuonzo Martin said on the post-game show. "They threw a 3-2 defense, a triangle-and-two and a box-and-one defense, trying to mix it up. We never really got into a true flow."
Even when they were unguarded, the Vols couldn't connect. They made just 58.9 percent (23 of 39) from the foul line.
"When you have opportunities, you want to capitalize, especially at the free-throw line," Martin said. "When you miss layups that's tough but that's part of it. You've got guys contesting shots, jumping to try and block shots. We've got to do a better job of capitalizing at the free-throw line."
Meanwhile, the Vols struggled to defend the basket even more than they struggled to attack it. They allowed UTEP to shoot a sizzling 58.0 percent (29 of 50) from the field.
"We didn't do a good job defending on the perimeter or on the block," Martin said. "They made shots and made plays. It's tough when you go over things you expect them (Miners) to do and we don't execute defensively. We missed a lot around the rim but defensively we didn't bring it to the table tonight."
Tennessee, now 3-2, faces a quick turnaround in Round 2. Less than 13 hours after walking off the floor following the loss to the Miners, the Vols will face Xavier Saturday at 1 p.m. Eastern. Xavier earned its spot in the consolation bracket by losing 77-74 to No. 23 Iowa in overtime.
Tennessee opened Thursday night's game well, building an 8-4 lead. The Miners roared back, however, with a 15-4 spurt that produced a 19-12 lead with 7:50 left in the half. Freshman Darius Thompson hit a 3-pointer from the key to cap an 8-0 run that put Tennessee on top 20-19. After an exchange of free throws gave the Vols a 21-20 lead, however, UTEP closed the half on a 16-7 run to take a 36-28 lead to intermission.
Tennessee was fortunate to trail by single digits, considering it shot just 28.1 percent (9 of 32) from the field while allowing UTEP to shoot 55.2 percent (16 of 29). The Vols stayed in the game by killing the Miners on the backboards, 27-15. Fifteen of Tennessee's rebounds came off the offensive glass.
UTEP gradually extended the lead, going up by 15 points (60-45) on a drive by Mckenzie Moore with 6:38 left. Tennessee forced some turnovers via fullcourt pressure at this point, making a 16-7 run that narrowed the gap to six points (67-61) with 2:35 remaining. Justin Crosgile drained a clutch 3-pointer from the left corner, however, bumping the Miners' lead to nine and seemingly taking the starch out of the Vols.
"That was a tough, tough 3," Martin said. "I was actually surprised he shot it. It was a tough 3 and it went in. I felt like we had the momentum going … but he made a big 3."
Jordan McRae led Tennessee with 22 points but made just 6 of 17 shots from the field, including 1 of 8 from 3-point range. Jarnell Stokes added 13 points and 14 rebounds. Josh Richardson chipped in 13 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists for the Vols. The bright spot for Tennessee was that it grabbed 26 offensive rebounds and dominated the backboards 46-28.
McKenzie Moore scored 19 points to pace the Miners, now 4-2. John Bohannon added 16 and Julian Washburn 12.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. - The fastest stock car in Kansas Speedway history spent Saturday morning on the hook of a wrecker.
Less than a day after winning the pole for today's Banquet 400 (1 p.m., NBC), Jimmie Johnson now faces the difficult assignment of starting last after crashing his car during one of the final practice sessions.
Johnson's Lowe's Chevrolet spun in the second turn of the 1.5-mile speedway and hit nose-first into the wall. Since he will have to use a backup car in the race, he will forfeit his pole position and start last.
"I lost it,'" Johnson said. "It was a total driver mistake. I'm disappointed in myself. I knew that the car was plenty loose. I was just out scuffing tires. New tires are extremely twitchy. I just got sucked in."
While starting last could be a problem, especially if there's a crash in front of him, the consequences aren't as severe as they used to be.
Not only has fuel mileage and track position gained by tire management allowed cars to race through the field - and shuffled lead cars to the back - NASCAR's new entitlement program that allows the first car one lap down to get back on the lead lap during a caution period has made it even easier to make up ground.
While it's still easier to win from up front - 16 of 29 winners on the NASCAR Winston Cup Series started from the top-five - it's not impossible to come from behind.
And nobody knows it better than Johnson.
He started last in the Coca-Cola 600 at the Lowe's Motor Speedway near Charlotte, N.C., in May after crashing in practice and changing engines in his backup car. He won.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. changed engines and started 42nd at the Talladega (Ala.) Superspeedway in April. He won.
And Kurt Busch changed engines at the Darlington (S.C.) Raceway last March and started 42nd. Ricky Craven, who started 31st, won that race in a dramatic photo finish with Busch.
"You just try to stay out of trouble and work your way forward," Johnson said.
"I think there's going to be a fair amount of cautions. The track is slick, especially on new tires. It's hard to get any grip."
And if that doesn't work, he can rely on NASCAR for some help. The sanctioning body responded to a lot of criticism from the drivers by making it illegal to pass once the caution flag waves during the caution. Since drivers can't race back to the flag stand to gain position or get their laps back, NASCAR decided to place the top driver one lap behind on the lead lap.
While it has stopped racing back to the flag stand - until Saturday's Busch Series race when the caution happened on the last lap and everyone jockeyed for position to the finish - it has proven to be a huge benefit.
Ryan Newman won at Dover after being given a lap back two weeks ago; Earnhardt Jr. finished second last week at Talladega after getting one of NASCAR's lead-lap care packages.
