Management Sponsored by
Editor's note: The 2014 graduates of the cosmetics and fragrance marketing and management master's degree program at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in New York presented their Capstone presentations at "The Changing Face of the Beauty Consumer," event, sponsored by Unilever U.S., at FIT's Morris W. and Fannie B. Haft Auditorium on Wednesday, June 4, 2014. This year, students presented on a theme that dives into the challenges shaping the way beauty companies operate from economics to gender to ethnicity.
The following white paper, "Men's Beauty," accompanied the presentation from group leaders Simone Bolotin (Coty Prestige) and co-leader Colleen Celentano (L'Oréal), as well as Renee Bukowski (IFF), Alexandra de Lara (The Estée Lauder Companies) and Michael Kremer (L'Oréal).
"To men a man is but a mind. Who cares what face he carries or what he wears? But woman's body is the woman."
—Ambrose Bierce, 1958
Over the past decade, men's grooming has been dubbed "the final frontier" of beauty, poised to take the industry by storm. With over 138 million men in the United States comprising about 50% of the population (Census.gov, 2014), it presents a true goldmine of untapped users. But have brands been able to crack the men's code?
Men's grooming is a $35 billion global industry, with the U.S. holding a 17% share. The $5.7 billion U.S. men's grooming market has grown by 7% in the past five years, with a focus on basic needs products such as deodorant, shampoo, and bar soap. Meanwhile, the global men's market has grown at 23%, more than three times faster than the U.S. during the same five-year span (Euromonitor, 2014). South Korea has grown at 67% and China at a staggering 157%, driven primarily by sophisticated categories such as skin care. If the U.S. grooming market had matched global growth, it would already be a $7 billion industry today.
While historically it has been a challenge to engage U.S. men in the categories that enjoy success abroad, the economic crisis of 2008 has fueled major shifts in gender roles, behaviors, and attitudes among men. Men were most affected by the recession, with a job loss rate nearly 50% higher than that of women, an economic phenomenon coined "the mancession" (Investopedia, 2009). The current marketing model does not reflect the authentic needs or values of the modern U.S. male consumer.
This paper will highlight opportunities to leverage the changing roles, changing views, and changing faces of the modern man to grow a more sophisticated men's grooming market. It will also outline a new model that will capture men's interest and loyalty, including key pillars critical for the growth of this opportunity-rich category.
While the U.S. market has enjoyed success in selling men's basic needs products, attempts to move into more sophisticated categories have proved challenging. In order to move forward, the industry first needs to understand why attempts to break through this barrier have been unsuccessful.
Historically, men have taken a need-based, utilitarian approach to their personal care products. Today, the categories with highest use among men are those that are essential for maintaining basic hygiene. Once men have identified a problem, they want a simple and quick solution. For example, deodorant is the most commonly used product among men, with 92% reporting that they use it regularly to protect themselves from odor and perspiration. Shampoo is the second most widely used category at 86%, followed by bar soap at 70%, and shaving cream at 61% (Mintel, 2014). The U.S. men's grooming industry has done an exceptional job of building these basic need categories, with a 38% dollar share of the global men's bath and shower market, thanks to popular launches and advertising by Old Spice, Axe, and Dove Men+CARE.
Aside from the practical uses, these categories have cultural significance as well. While most women in the U.S. grew up learning how to apply lipstick and set their hair in curlers from their mothers and grandmothers, most boys grew up learning about deodorant and basic hygiene in health class at school, or teaching themselves to shave after observing their fathers and grandfathers. As a result, getting men interested in products beyond the basics has been challenging, since they inherently do not think seriously about a sophisticated grooming routine.
Men's lack of interest in grooming can also be linked to evolutionary factors. Biologists explain that historically for women, physical beauty was an evolutionary advantage that could lead to biological success by attracting a mate. In her book, The Male Brain, neuropsychiatrist Louann Brizendine explains that "men have been biologically selected over millions of years to focus on fertile females," with traits that indicate youth and health (Brizendine, 2010). For men, however, biological success was based on their ability to provide food for their mate. "The males who showed they were willing to provide food got more sexual access to the females, increasing their chances of paternity" (Brizendine, 2010). While women have an innate biological motivation for beautifying, for men, money, power and other indicators of their ability to provide can often take the place of good looks in the mating game.
As a society, our depictions of men in advertising and popular culture have not historically contributed to an environment ripe for changing the male mindset. In The Beauty Myth, author Naomi Wolf uses the stereotypical depiction of a standard evening news team to highlight the disparities between the accepted appearance of men and women, describing "that double image—the older man, lined and distinguished, seated beside a nubile, heavily made-up female junior" (Wolf, 2002). In the grooming industry, messaging has traditionally reinforced prevalent gender stereotypes. From Axe, to Old Spice, to the now defunct TAG Body Spray brand, hyper-masculine or over sexualized images have long been used to sell basic needs products to men.
While using stereotypes in advertising has proven effective for basic needs categories, we are hitting a wall. In the past five years, the U.S. deodorant market was flat and the total shave category grew by only 2% (Euromonitor, 2014). The limitations of the U.S. market's current approach is also apparent in its global share of men's skin care at only 8%, ten share points less than any other U.S male category (Euromonitor, 2014). Globally, skin care represents the biggest opportunity for men's grooming, with 73% growth in the past five years alone. Currently, China leads the charge with 30% share, followed by Western Europe at 21%, and South Korea at 19% (Euromonitor, 2014).
These facts are not surprising considering how men's skin care has traditionally been launched in the U.S. Brands often try to recreate their women's lines in a more masculine form, using similar product offerings and retail distribution models. While marketers are comfortable having the standard moisturizer, eye product, cleanser, toner, and serum in the range, this strategy often proves overwhelming to men. This is clear by the number of complicated men's skin care lines that have not succeeded in the U.S., including Gillette's first attempt in 2004, Old Spice in 2005, and even Biotherm Homme, the number one brand globally, in 2006.

A Nutritionist Dishes on How To Drop That Winter Weight
What is SoulCycle? It's a full-body spinning workout, but what really sets it apart is its community aspect, as well as its unique spiritual component. Then, there are the playlists. According to Danny Kopel — one of MC's personal favorite instructors — the way each class' soundtrack is put together and choreographed is almost an art. "SoulCycle is emotional and spiritual," Kopel explains. "When you leave, you feel like you've been taken on a journey."
What does it do? Aside from being an excellent cardiovascular workout, riders are challenged to push themselves by increasing the bike's resistance and working from the core — namely the obliques and abdominals — to protect the joints. Each class also features an unexpected arm series with light weights and push-ups on the bike, designed to develop long, lean muscles.
How does it feel? SoulCycle has built a reputation for having a cult-like following, and for good reason — it truly is as fun as they say. First-timers will notice their glutes and hamstrings tiring out (read: burning) a couple of songs into the 45 minute class, but the encouragement from the talented instructors and killer music make it much easier to keep going.
How can you get the workout at home? Kopel suggests that whether you have access to a spin bike or a treadmill, put together a playlist of music that speaks to you and moves you — it will help you to power through the workout. Also, try to incorporate light weights if you can.
Classes start at $32. For more information and studio locations, visit www.soul-cycle.com.
What is Ballet Beautiful? A system of exercises and stretches developed by Mary Helen Bowers that's meant to sculpt, tone, and strengthen the body, as well as increase flexibility. "I think that every woman has the ability to transform her body," Bowers says. "What I do with Ballet Beautiful is make the body really long and lean — it's a lot of strengthening through your center and core and your back and upper body for beautiful posture." The classes incorporate both standing routines and mat work on the floor.
What does it do? Bowers says that in just a matter of weeks, students start to see a change — they'll walk differently, feel more lifted, stand up straighter, and feel tighter. The exercises are tiny and very targeted while still bringing up the heart rate, which helps to achieve the sculpted look.
How does it feel? While you're in class, it burns like crazy — you'll feel muscles working that you've never used before, especially through the glutes, hips, outer thighs, and deep through the abs.
How can you get the workout at home? Simple! Bowers regularly live-streams the classes she holds in her NYC studio on balletbeautiful.com, and has a series of DVDs as well. When it comes to her most important principles, Bowers explains that stretching is extremely important, and when it comes to posture, keep your back long, your shoulders back, and pull in through your stomach.

BLACKBURN residents are being urged to make the future of the town their New Year resolution by backing its young people.
The town's £6million Youth Zone has called on locals to pledge to raise money for its Teen Leader appeal.
Launched in partnership with the Lancashire Telegr-aph, the campaign hopes to raise £60,000 to train 100 young people to become lead-ers in their communities, at the same time earning them a valuable qualification, and priceless confidence.
The Youth Zone's chief exec- utive Peter Little said: "We are asking the community to make a New Year pledge to raise money through fun and easy fundraising events.
"Investing in young people is vital to the future prosper-ity of the town and, through funds raised by the appeal, we will be able to give young people the support and means to take control of their future, and ultimately make a differ-ence in their community.
"Raising money for the appeal can be as simple as a bake sale, or dress-down day, at work. Your contribution will make a real and lasting differ- ence."
Members of the Youth Zone, in Jubilee Street, have prod-uced a special fundraising pack, which also includes sponsor forms and target post- ers to help track your progress.
Events manager Laura Jones said: "The fundraising pack gives you all the tools you'll need to fundraise for the Teen Leaders appeal.
"Inside, you'll find easy ideas to raise as much money as possible. All fundraisers will receive support from the Black- burn Youth Zone team.
"Every penny you raise will be invested into our Young Leader programme, creating a brighter future, not only for the town's young people, but also for the wider community."
At the end of last year, mon- ey was raised towards the Youth Zone when a team of footballers, made up of local businessmen and volunteers, played five-a-side football for 55-and-a-half hours non-stop in the hope of breaking a world record.
To get a fundraising pack, call Laura on 01254 292000, or download it online at www. blackburnyz.org/teenleaders

Get Connected with WirelessHART
The Only International Open Standard for Wireless Sensor Networks Takes Charge, So Get Connected Now
In August 2011, IDTechEx published a survey, "Wireless Sensor Networks 2011-2021." In it, the researchers claimed that wireless sensor networks will grow from $0.45 billion in 2011 to $2 billion by 2021. Most of that growth will be in smart homes, smart grid and other non-industrial applications.
Raghu Das, CEO of IDTechEx says, "In 2011, industrial wireless sensor networks account for approximately 6% of the total $0.45 billion. In 2021, they will account for approximately 28% of the estimated $2 billion market."
"In 2011 I'd estimate WirelessHART to be 60% of that market segment that is industrial only," Das continued. It is difficult to predict its use in the future—the choice of standards is a problem."
A recent survey by Control magazine indicates that the prediction may well be easier than Das thinks. According to the survey, published in the August issue, end users have stopped waiting for the standards to be hashed out and have begun selecting WirelessHART over other standards. Part of this is undoubtedly true because WirelessHART is now the only international open standard for wireless sensor networks: IEC62591-WirelessHART.
As a further insight, the Control study showed that 18% of respondents said they didn't need wireless networks—any variable they needed badly enough was worth running cable to. If you remember that HART Communication is both wired and wireless, this is an important advantage to end users and asset owners. You can continue to use your wired HART systems and when there is a need, a WirelessHART network will fit right in.
Interoperability Makes WirelessHART Work
A unique feature of WirelessHART is its integration with the wired HART specification. Just as all HART instruments—including WirelessHART— have been interoperable and backward-compatible. You already know how to commission and calibrate the wireless versions, because you already have HART smart devices in your plant. There is no run-up learning curve.
"From the E+H perspective we support all standardized communication protocols which of course includes WirelessHART"says Endress+Hauser (www.endress.com) wireless product manager Jason Knuteson. "Our customers are continuing to ask for robust and flexibility solutions for difficult process applications they experience, and WirelessHART is a great answer to their needs!"
What does interoperability really mean? It means that any HART device of any kind will work seamlessly with all other certified and registered HART devices. Further, for its basic functions at least, any certified and registered HART device can be interchanged with any other similar device. So every HART temperature transmitter is interchangeable, and so forth. For WirelessHART, it means that any WirelessHART gateway can be used with any manufacturer's devices, and all devices can be used with any gateway.
The WirelessHART Ecosystem
Proprietary wireless systems and even some so-called standard systems generally have only one vendor. This can be very worrisome for the operator when selecting a wireless network for the plant. Since 2007 when it was introduced, the number of vendors producing registered and certified WirelessHART devices (the HART "Ecosystem") has been climbing—now numbering around 20. These vendors include the manufacturers of at least 80% of all transmitters, control valves, and online analysis equipment, such as Siemens, Endress+Hauser, Moore Industries International, Emerson Rosemount and Emerson Fisher.
"Siemens is continuing to see a strong demand for our WirelessHART products and solutions," says Michael Cushing, product marketing manager for Siemens Industry, Inc. (www.sea.siemens.com) "and our SITRANS products are the cornerstone to our portfolio. Cost and efficiency is driving this demand, as WirelessHART users eliminate significant costs of cabling and installation, and realize the convenience of faster commissioning and easier maintenance. We also have the ability to interface WirelessHART with other Siemens process instruments through our SITRANS AW200 adapter. Customers will continue to have the need for easy access to information from plant applications and operations, and WirelessHART is well-suited to provide diagnostic information on measured process values."
What this means for you is that you have much less risk selecting WirelessHART for your wireless sensor network than in selecting any other system. It means that WirelessHART is "future proof." You can be certain that the HART Communication Foundation will maintain the full backward compatibility that has become its hallmark.
So Who's Waiting?
You may not be waiting at all. According to the wireless study published in Control's August 2011 issue, 43% of respondents said they already had wireless field networks, while another 27% said they were planning to install them in the next 1-3 years. If that's the case, the next step is to learn how to design, configure, manage and operate IEC62591-WirelessHART sensor networks.

Review Roundup: DEAR WORLD with Betty Buckley and Paul Nicholas
The British premiere of Jerry Herman's musical Dear World, starring Betty Buckley and Paul Nicholas and directed and choreographed by Gillian Lynne, opened 13 February and runs through 30 March 2013.
Katy Treharne and Stuart Matthew Price star as 'Nina' and 'Julian', the two young lovers. Peter Land, Robert Meadmore and Jack Rebaldi star as the 'Presidents', Ayman Safia plays the 'Mute'. The cast also includes Anthony Barclay as the 'Prospector', Brett Brown as the 'Waiter', Michael Chance as the 'Sargeant', Annabel Leventon as 'Constance', Rebecca Lock as 'Gabrielle', Joanna Loxton, and Craig Nicholls.
Based on Jean Giraudoux's play The Madwoman of Chaillot, it centres around the Countess, living in the basement of a Parisian bistrot in 1945, driven mad by a lost lover and bemoaning her past. When oil is discovered under the streets of the city, she and her motley crew of acquaintances must band together to stop rapacious businessmen from destroying her home, and indeed all of Paris.
Let's see what the critics had to say:
Lisa Martland of the Stage writes: Despite the efforts of David Thompson (who has adapted the book), legendary director/choreographer Gillian Lynne and a talented ensemble, Dear World remains a flawed piece. Its dependence on whimsy can be tiresome, resulting in a lack of engagement with characters that prove to be irritatingly one-dimensional.
Giles Cole from whatsonstage.com says: The remarkable Betty Buckley, as Countess Aurelia, presides over the stage with grace, aplomb and sheer Broadway presence, but it is only in the scenes with her fellow 'madwomen' that the show fuses into a true delight. Annabel Leventon and Rebecca Lock are glorious as sisters Constance and Gabrielle, and when these three ladies are onstage, one sits back happily and drinks in the wit, silliness and charm of the piece. Elsewhere, it is sadly the silliness which comes to the fore.
David Nice from theartsdesk.com states: Where it only took Sondheim's Merrily We Roll Along 11 years to progress from flop to classic, Dear World has taken 44. Its time has finally come underneath the arches of Charing Cross in the intimate setting Herman always wanted, crowned this time by the supreme grace of Betty Buckley.
Dominic Maxwell from the Times says: It's taken 44 years for Jerry Herman's troubled musical to get a British production, so don't think that the producers of Dear World are going to undersell it. "Four legends combine to make musical theatre history," runs the tagline - the said legends being Herman (Hello, Dolly!, La Cage aux Folles), Gillian Lynne (director, choreographer), Betty Buckley (radiant Broadway star) and Paul Nicholas (British star in a cameo role). And that sets you up for something a lot better than this beautifully sung, well-decorated dramatically diabolical blend of fable, satire and romance.
Michael Billington from the Guardian writes: Betty Buckley, whom I last saw in Promises, Promises half a lifetime ago, lends the heroine the right air of dreamy dottiness, as if still inhabiting the Paris of the Belle Epoque. There is good support from Paul Nicholas as a benevolent sewerman, Peter Land as a leanly rapacious capitalist and Annabel Leventon as a park-bench habitue who hears more voices than Joan of Arc. It is not one of those Broadway failures like Sondheim's Anyone Can Whistle that quickly acquires cult status, but Lynne stylishly evokes a fantasy Paris, and it's hard not to warm to a show that suggests corporate greed and environmental destruction can be actively resisted.
Our own Sarah Flinton of BWW says: Director Gillian Lynne's spectacular choreography adds even more humour and fun to an already energetic story; while the elegant interpretations of ballads by the cast, most notably Katy Treharne as the romantic lead Nina, ensures the portrayal of emotion.
Fourthwall Magazine writes: The score is stupendous from the get-go though. I'd never heard a note of it and could hum you great swathes and that's before I downloaded the original Broadway cast recording this morning; Angela Lansbury stars, bonus! Betty Buckley stars here (double bonus) as a warm and wonderful, cookie Countess Aurelia. There's a moment in Act 2 when the Julian of Stuart Matthew Price (top of his game, again) descends the stars holding a feather boa before role-playing Emile, the lost love of the Countess. I turned to the woman next to me and said, "Wow, what a scene!" I wonder who she was? We're all going mad. She did agree, though.

Lessons About Losses
Ho hum. Another expiration day where if any index move is going to happen, it is going to happen in the last few minutes of trading. Many of the folks I know are either complaining about the day dragging or have simply checked out for the day. I have to say it is tough to argue with them. Talking to other traders helps. It doesn't matter if they are experienced or new traders. Often you can learn a new lesson by talking with new traders. Sometimes, it can remind you of lessons learned. I had that privilege last night.
As I chatted with a Real Money subscriber, the question about the most difficult aspect of trading came up. There are so many aspects that can make trading and investing difficult. And there are differences between swing trading, daytrading, stocks, options, currencies, commodities, etc., but I think what it boils down to for most people is taking losses. For instance, I have to stop waiting on this Intel (INTC) trade and simply take my loss and move on. Taking losses is the most difficult action for me and for most traders in general; however, for some, it will come with an asterisk and much of that can be traced back to an early trade....370 more words left in this article.

'Tis the season for brilliant 'fire rainbows'
The first week of May is probably better known around here as the Opening Day of Boating Season but did you also know it's when we kick off the fire rainbow season?
Fire rainbows, or more officially (and more boringly) known as "circumhorizonal arcs" are caused by ice crystals in the thin, distant clouds being at just the correct angle to refract the sunlight into the colors of the prism.
Ron Glowen, now of Arlington, Wash., just sent me these photos that were taken in June of 2006 while visiting his hometown of Spokane.
"We were returning to our motel around mid-day when my wife said she was seeing a gold glint in the sky through the car window. (We thought maybe it was the tinting,)" Glowen said. "We got out of the car--and saw an absolutely stunning, brilliantly multi-hued band of wispy color amid the cumulus clouds. I grabbed my then-new camera and took some shots. Came outside again--it was still there. This must have lasted for up to an hour before it faded away."
He said he looked around the Internet and discovered it was the circumhorizontal arc. "The web site Atmospheric Optics calls it the "Great Spokane Arc" that was probably seen by more people than any other. I felt lucky to have been there to see it (and, it was my home town!)"
These "fire rainbows" (so nicknamed by appearance, not by having anything to do with fire or rainbows) are fairly rare sights in the mid-latitudes, because they can only occur when the sun is 58 degrees or higher above the horizon. For the Pacific Northwest, that pretty much relegates any sightings to around 6 weeks either side of the summer solstice.
For Seattle, the "fire rainbow" season begins on May 2 when the sun hits 58 degrees at solar noon (about 1 p.m. PDT -- remember we turn our clocks ahead an hour in the summer but the sun doesn't care.) So on that date, you can only see them if the sun and clouds hit the exact correct angle right at 1 p.m.
But the window of opportunity grows each day as we get closer to summer solstice on June 20, when the window expands to between 12:30 p.m. and 3:50 p.m. Seattle's window ends on August 9.
Note that we're lucky because if you go too far north, like north of 55 degrees latitude, you'll never see them as the sun never reaches that required height above the horizon. So those of you in Copenhagen have never seen this before, whose those in Houston can see them from March through October.
So next time it's a sunny day and those wispy cirrus clouds are floating around, keep an eye for these brilliant displays. (And if you see one, I'd love to see a photo! I keep a running photo gallery in my weather FAQ.)

TPWD News Release — Feb. 18, 2010
The overnight campout and outdoor education workshop at the World Birding Center site is one of more than two dozen Texas Parks and Wildlife Department-sponsored outdoor family workshops being held throughout the state this spring to try to eliminate barriers to families wishing to share the outdoor experience together. The two-year-old Texas Outdoor Family program has taught hundreds of adults and children from diverse backgrounds how to safely enjoy the outdoors and help conserve Texas' natural resources.
The theme of the Estero Llano Grande workshop is connecting children to nature through wildlife observation and journaling. Outdoor education specialists will welcome campers on Saturday morning. Participants learn how to pitch a tent and how to operate such typical camping equipment as camp stoves and lanterns. During the evening, participants learn how to build a fire and cook on open flames and outdoor grills, and receive a primer on those scary night noises typically heard in a park. On Sunday morning, a park ranger will share coffee and conversation about nature, state parks and how to best enjoy the great outdoors.
The thrust of the outdoor family program is to help address what has been termed "Nature Deficit Disorder" that affects many urban children, as well as adults, who have become disconnected from the natural world. The term first gained notoriety after the publishing of Richard Louv's 2005 groundbreaking book, "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder." Louv cites studies that show that playing outdoors strengthens a young person's mind and body, leading to better performance in school and interactions with others.
"We've noticed over the past few years a trend throughout the nation and Texas that families aren't tent camping as much as they once did," said Chris Holmes, who heads up the Texas Outdoor Family program. "We recognize that many people in today's increasingly urban culture don't have the same skills or backgrounds as earlier generations of Texans."
The overnight campouts are designed for persons who have never camped before or may not have camped for many years, as well as for those who don't have the necessary equipment or see the outdoors as being boring or dangerous. Texas state parks, with ample campsites and a law enforcement presence, prove the ideal setting for the structured campouts.
Edinburgh's Jackie Romero, 30, and her 8-year-old-son, Noah, participated in one of the campouts last year at Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park near Mission. She hadn't camped for many years and her son had never been camping. They came away impressed with how easy it is to put up a tent and cook outdoors.
"I wasn't very confident about how to put up a tent or cook outdoors," Romero said. "When I read about it in the newspaper, I thought it would be fun to do and knew there would be people willing to help us and answer any questions I might have. It was no hassle, very easy-going and simple."
Though the workshop curriculum content varies slightly from park to park, campers can learn about the outdoors from park rangers and interpretive specialists, how to set up a tent, how to use a camp stove and lantern safely, and other basic outdoor skills, such as paddling and fishing. All camping equipment is being provided thanks to program sponsor Toyota. Registrants must bring their own food to cook outdoors. Families will receive a suggested camp menu and shopping list. There is a 16-family maximum per workshop. The cost is $55 per family for up to eight people.
The first-of-its-kind Texas program has gained national attention from such national organizations as Leave No Trace and theNational Association of Interpretation, spurring spinoff programs in other states.
Visit the Texas Outdoor Family Web page for more information, including the complete schedule of this spring's weekend workshops. Texas Outdoor Family is now on Facebook, where graduated families post their pictures and share their stories of their outdoor adventures.
Families can register by calling (512) 389-8903 between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. and speaking to a Texas Outdoor Family representative or by sending an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com anytime. After registration, a confirmation packet with details will be sent.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Consumers want in on what remains of the nation's cheap real estate, and for some polled by Carlisle & Gallagher, a Charlotte, N.C.-based management and consulting firm, the best way could be getting a mortgage from Wal-Mart.
In fact, one in three consumers say they would "consider" a Wal-Mart (WMT) mortgage, the company says.
Part of this could be wishful thinking from people feeling they're missing out on affordable homes.

(UPDATED WITH VIDEO, March 27) Colorado potato marketers can look to a new country to find fresh potato buyers.
The Taiwan Ministry of Agriculture recently approved Colorado fresh potato imports, and David Tonso, managing partner of Center-based Canon Potato Co., said the work of the Denver-based U.S. Potato Board deserves much credit for opening the market.
"Thanks to the work they have done, we have been able to get Taiwan opened up to fresh market potatoes out of Colorado," Tonso said March 26.
Relatively tight inventories of the 2012 crop could limit opportunities this year, but he predicted more interest in Taiwan next season, particularly for shippers already exporting fresh potatoes.
The overall volume of potatoes from Colorado this season is expected to decline by the end of May, with some shippers extend fresh shipments until the first of August, Tonso said.
Others who contributed to the opening of the Taiwan market, industry leaders said, included the Colorado Potato Administrative Committee, the National Potato Council, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and Foreign Agricultural Service, and Seattle-based Bryant Christie Inc.
"We've been working on Colorado to get in (to Taiwan) for four or five years," said John Toaspern, vice president for international marketing for the U.S. Potato Board. Taiwan as opened its market to U.S. potato exports on a state by state basis, Toaspern said.
The market for U.S. fresh tablestock and chipping potatoes in Taiwan in the most recent year is about 10,600 metric tons, valued at $5.1 million, Toaspern said.

It's a Full-Court Press To Lure Fans to Fieldhouse
May 10, 2008
The Star's position: Pacers' leadership team working hard to turn around troubled franchise.
Herb Simon and Jim Morris want to deliver a message to Pacers fans: They get it.
In a meeting this week with The Star's Editorial Board, Simon, the Pacers' co-owner and new CEO, and Morris, in charge of the franchise's business operations, acknowledged how far out of favor the team has fallen with the community.
How bad is it? In a city and state filled with dedicated and knowledgeable basketball fans, the Pacers recorded the worst attendance in the NBA this season.
Morris, who not long ago was fighting the effects of famine and natural disasters as director of the United Nations' World Food Program, is now battling to restore the tarnished image of a team that he considers an important part of Central Indiana's social and business fabric.
The franchise's troubles began with the infamous Detroit brawl but have deepened in subsequent years as players became embroiled in several off-the-court scandals.
It's not surprising then that Morris calls character a paramount consideration in rebuilding the team's roster, including through this year's draft. He noted that when focus groups have been asked to pick between a player with great skills but questionable behavior and one with lesser talent but sound character, the fans chose character.
Not that winning isn't important in reconnecting with the community. After all, much of the good will the team built up with the city in seasons past grew out of the excitement generated by playoff battles with the Knicks, Bulls and Lakers.
But fans want a team they can be proud of for excellence on and off the court. To reach that goal, Morris promises to increase the team's involvement in the community and to improve the franchise's support services for young players who must learn to cope with wealth, fame and a multitude of readily available temptations.
As the team's co-owner, Simon has a personal and financial stake in turning around the franchise, which a few years ago was considered among the NBA's best. He hopes to see improvement on the court next season, but acknowledges that salary-cap constraints could require a three-year rebuilding process.
Simon also wants fans to understand that another community institution -- the WNBA's Fever -- is entering a period critical to its future. The organization has assembled a championship-caliber roster. Ticket prices are low. Yet attendance must grow if the franchise is to finally break even. Simon's ability to continue writing off the Fever's financial losses is no doubt constrained by the Pacers' problems.
Two teams. Two sets of challenges. And not much time for either to begin packing fans into the Fieldhouse.
I didn't want this to slip between the cracks since this article showed up in the opinion section of Saturday's front page section.

The first BCS rankings will come out Sunday and the debate is already brewing: Alabama or LSU from the SEC?
Both teams are good—real good—and physical.
Alabama is third nationally in total defense and LSU is fifth. Alabama is first in rushing defense and LSU is fourth. LSU is also fourth in turnover margin and Alabama is the second-least penalized team in the country.
So who better to determine which is best than the coach of the team who's had the fortune—or is that misfortune—of playing them in back-to-back weeks?
"Uh, well, I'm worried about Florida and us improving," Florida coach Will Muschamp told reporters on his weekly teleconference. "But they're both very similar football teams as far as the strength on both lines of scrimmage."
The Gators, who travel to Auburn for Saturday's game, lost the past two weeks to Alabama (38-10) and LSU (41-11). They were held to 222 yards and 213 yards, respectively in those two losses—although they did play the second half against the Crimson Tide and entire game against LSU without starting QB John Brantley.
"They both really run the ball. They both play with a physical style, on offense and defense," Muschamp added, according to The Birmingham News. "They both cover well. It ought to be a heck of a football game whenever those guys play, but again, I'm concerned about the Gators getting better at this point. But again they both have good football teams."

Sacroiliitis: It's still the seat of my chronic pain
The time has come for me to talk about my rear end again. Here come the "sit on it," jokes. It's sort of a good thing to have a condition that makes people smile. I went to a Uro-Gyno. specialist in Portland last week and every time I talked about my "ass" she smiled. She felt she had to apologize for reacting that way and I said, "Oh, don't worry about it. When you've had pain in your sitter for 23 years you've heard and probably said it all. It is funny. That's just one of those things our society laughs at."
I guess it's a kind of conditioning we carry around with us from childhood potty jokes, etc. It's also a great ice-breaker. Not my bottom, heaven knows, but the wisecracks. Unfortunately, it colors every area of my life from travel to my social life and family life. Almost everything I do involves sitting and for that reason I schedule appointments, especially those that involve traveling in a car, with great care. I have to gauge time, distance and day of the week. I have to think about bowel activity, pain and a recovery time. It's all a royal pain in the ass. I'm certain it's not a joy for my husband, either, as he has to chauffer a woman who is reclining on the trip home, constantly asking, "Are you sure there isn't something wrong with the tires? They're riding so roughly today, don't you think?"
He responds with his usual, "They're fine. No, they don't feel rough to me."
I feel it's time to give all of you an update about my recent problems with my sacroiliac joints. As you know, I had a renewed surge of difficulty after my airplane trip in July. Now, after a month of physical therapy I am doing better. I am performing the Don Tigny exercises everyday, except for those rare occasions when I just can't face them. I try not to let two of those days run together because I know what will happen. There's no virtue involved on my behalf, it's strictly pragmatic. I have learned a few new exercises besides the DonTigny exercises. One of the new exercises for me is to hold a volleyball sized rubber ball between my knees and to push my SI joints down while squeezing the ball. The ball I use is one I bought for the grandkids and has circus animals all over it. To know you're doing it correctly it helps to place your hands under your SI joints so you know you're pushing down and not up. Another helpful one that is quite difficult involves sitting on a 55cm. large exercise ball and lifting alternate legs and arms, one each on opposite sides. It's really hard to do but it's purported to aid in balance. The exercise ball I bought came with a pump and only cost $15. Another exercise I do with the large exercise ball is to sit on it (which is hard enough without rolling off) and to lift one leg at a time. It helps to place the ball in a corner if you're doing it by yourself.
The up side to all this movement is that it gives me a sense of control over this contrary body of mine. Sometimes it feels good to have something in your control when so much of life is askew. I often wish there was another pill I could take to solve this problem but there isn't. I already take pills for my heart, for inflammation, for pain, etc. Keeping my SI joints in alignment is my job. Nobody can do it for me. Most people have to worry about keeping their tires aligned. I have to worry about keeping my body aligned. It's a good idea for all of us with rheumatic conditions but it's a must if you have bad sacroiliac joints. Now that I think about it I guess there isn't really that much difference in maintaining the car and maintaining my body. Too bad I didn't buy one of those 100,000 mile warranties years ago for my body, but I draw the line at having physical therapy at one of those drive through oil lube places.

Title in the Language of the Records
España, Testamentos Notariales de Cádiz
Record Description
This collection of notary public wills is from the years 1550-1920.
The records are testaments (wills) that were written in the presence of a notary public of the province of Cádiz. This collection was kept at the Archivo Histórico Provincial de Cádiz, Spain. Documents are written in Spanish.
This is a collection of wills created before a notary public, who kept the original document until the death of the person that created the will; another copy was kept at the General Registry of Wills (Registro General de Actos de Última Voluntad). Through the life of the testator, the General Registry kept the will as a secret document, unauthorized to be viewed by anyone until the death of the testator. At the death of the person, the family would inquire at the General Registry of Wills to find out which will was the latest created by the testator and where it was created, especially if the family did not know which notary public was holding the original copy.
A wealthy person usually created a will in order to leave properties and goods as an inheritance to his or her children and others. In order to do this, the person would hire a notary public. The notary had the knowledge to write this kind of document, which needed to fulfill legal formalities.
The vital information contained in these wills may be reliable since the testator had to provide his or her legal identification and proof of property and goods ownership, as well as the names and personal identification of the inheritors.

'It was a game the Rangers had to win and they got almost none of the calls. The Sabres received seven power-play opportunities in regulation time. The Rangers got two. The Sabres got what seemed like the break of the playoffs when the Rangers had a goal disallowed by the mysterious and unaccountable people behind the video replay curtain in Toronto. A ruling that much of the living, breathing hockey world can't begin to explain via the video replays made available to the viewing public. A near complete reversal of a play that produced a goal for the Sabres two nights earlier in Buffalo.'

MIAMI - The Miami city commission wants to crack down on video gambling machines found in many Little Havana cafeterias and Flagler Street adult arcades.
During a meeting Thursday, the commission passed a resolution declaring the machines, commonly called maquinitas, "illegal under state law and they're illegal under our code because they don't have a BTR (business tax receipt)."
"The objective is to get the administration to act," said Commissioner Francis Suarez. "As a commissioner and as a commission, you only have so much authority and the authority that we vested was to direct the manager to do his job and for the officers to do their job and confiscate these machines. We can't actually physically grab them and forced them to do it."
In 2010, Mayor Tomas Regalado championed an ordinance that required owners to pay a $500 licensing fee per device for a business tax receipt to keep them. Police confiscated hundreds of them.
No owner secured a BTR.
"We have a city-owned warehouse full of machines," said Miami Police Chief Manuel Orosa. "We can't burn them. We're thinking of throwing them in some dump and running them over with a bulldozer."
The city attorney suggested selling the machines. The city manager has 30 days to come up with a plan addressing storage and disposal of about 1,000 machines operating across the city.
The move comes after the Florida House on Friday voted overwhelmingly to approve a ban on internet cafes, and the Senate is expected to follow soon and send a bill to Gov. Rick Scott.
Rep. Jim Waldman, D-Coconut Creek, criticized the bill because it would put out of business adult arcades that are used heavily by senior citizens. Adult arcades, prevalent in South Florida, offer gift cards to winning players. Arcade owners have maintained that they offer games that require a skill and therefore don't qualify as gambling.
"What you are doing is harming the state of Florida; you are harming the seniors," Waldman said.
But Rep. Carlos Trujillo, R-Miami and sponsor of the ban, maintained that the adult arcades are engaged in gambling as well because the games offered rely on chance. He also noted that the adult arcades offer the equivalent of cash.
John Troconis, the manage at Tropical Arcade in Hialeah, said patrons don't win money but instead receive credits they can exchange for prizes and gift cards.
Rep. Elaine Schwartz, D-Hollywood, questioned the move to ban the storefront operations instead of trying to regulate them.
"Seriously, why jump from saying something is bad and make it a crime when it actually is fine but should just be regulated," said Schwartz.
"I think it's really, really bad that they want to take our 'Penny Annie' because that's what we call it," said Elise Buckley.
Legislators have considered bills the past two years to ban the internet cafes, but they stalled amid debates over whether to outlaw or regulate the operations.
The Legislature is feeling pressure to act in the wake of an investigation into the Allied Veterans of the World charity. It was accused of running a $290 million illegal gambling business that directed most of the proceeds into its owners' pockets. Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll, who has not been accused of any wrongdoing, resigned last week after she was questioned about consulting work she did for Allied.
Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, predicts the bill will be sent to Gov. Rick Scott before the session ends in early May. The bill goes before the Senate Rules Committee on April 2.

Please take the publication date into consideration for any date references. ] [ Media Contact: TPWD News, email@example.com, 512-389-8030 ] [TH] Aug. 21, 2008 Grants Awarded for Seven Texas Target Range Projects HOUSTON -- Professional and recreational sport shooters alike will benefit from $278,000 in matching grants for the construction and renovation of seven target ranges across Texas in Kerr, McLennan, Harris, Cochran, Angelina, Caldwell, Williamson and Smith Counties. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved the target-range grants during its Aug. 21 public meeting in Houston. Recipients of the 2009 funding include American Shooting Center, a shooting facility that is one of the most widely used by hunter-education instructors in the Houston area. This center in Harris County has been approved to receive $30,000 in 2009 for the continued development of sporting clays and infrastructure such as parking lots and roads. The site, at the Cullen Barker Reservoir/ George Bush Park in West Houston, has received prior funding of more than $500,000 during the 1980s and 1990s. Hunter-education instructors frequently use the center because of its location near the largest urban center in Texas. Another grant recipient is Pines Sporting Club in Angelina County near Lufkin. The club sponsors several youth shoots and will serve as a model club for the Scholastic Clays Target Program, a program sponsored by the Scholastic Shooting Sports Foundation that introduces school-aged children to sport shooting and allows them to compete as well as learn safe handling of firearms. Pines Sporting Club was approved to receive $60,000 for enhancements to its shotgun ranges. Steve Hall, Texas Parks and Wildlife education director said the Pines Sporting Club grant will go a long way in helping the club expand what it has to offer recreational shooters in the hope that it will be able to serve more youth. "Their range is currently active in providing a place for 4-H Shooting Sports," Hall said. "The number of youths served through this facility-enhancement should more than triple, increasing from 100 4-H members to 350 4-H members and 50 new Scholastic Clay Target participants." Hall said these numbers should increase further through family memberships, awareness events and shoots, and shooting competitions that the club will host. Hall said youth shooting sports foster positive character traits in participants and that through efforts such as the target-range grants and outreach events, he hopes the sport continues to grow and reach the level of popularity of school-sponsored sports such as football and basketball. "Shooting sports are outdoors, wholesome and lifelong activities that promote characteristics such as positive communications, self-esteem, teamwork and leadership," he said. "Shotgun clays is an extracurricular activity and will hopefully, one day, be a school-sponsored activity in Texas." The grants staff received applications from seven ranges for consideration during fiscal year 2009, and all were recommended for funding. Criteria for rating the applications were revised in August 2007, including a stipulation that accommodates Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's efforts to support various Texas Youth Shooting Sports programs alongside hunter education. Hall said that providing grant money to legitimate shooting ranges allows the operators to improve and promote their facilities and assist them in being open to public for a long time. "The encroachment of cities is causing us to lose ranges faster than we can build them," Hall said. "More people want to shoot, but there are fewer places for them to shoot safely." Hall said factors of urban encroachment that threaten target ranges are population sprawl on once open land, which makes the occasional stray bullet from a shooting range more dangerous, and complaints from nearby residents of the noise from the ranges -- though the traffic on a three-lane residential road is often noisier. Hall said another challenge that shooting ranges face is the increased cost of items associated with the sport such as ammunition, claybirds and the cost of gasoline for rural residents who have to drive to a more populated area to shoot at a public range. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, with support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Federal Assistance, administers a target-range grant program to provide funding for qualifying applicants from both the private and public sectors that open their shooting facilities to the public and offer hunter education. Applicants must provide 25 percent of the total project cost, and the federal grant funds, made available through Texas' "hunter safety apportionment," fulfill the remaining 75 percent. The grants allow recipients to enhance their existing ranges or to build new facilities, including infrastructure, new ranges, storage units and hunter-education classrooms. Other target range projects that will be funded through the grants include: Hill Country Shooting Sports Center -- This shooting center near Kerrville received $60,000 in a project grant for the final construction phase of its air-gun range at its USA Shooting and training facility. The facility can be used for archery activities and hunter education. Central Texas Rifle and Pistol Club -- This McLennan County facility west of Waco will receive $30,000 toward the continued development of its pistol and rifle ranges and classroom facilities and the possible construction of a shotgun range. The center was initially approved for construction in 2006, and inspection and initial development was completed in 2008, costing $60,000. Cochran County 4-H Shooting Sports Range -- The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved $38,000 to this range for the development of its existing rifle, pistol and shotgun ranges, and for possible construction of archery and shotgun ranges at another location. The range is in deep West Texas and offers training and sporting opportunities to recreational shooters who do not live near a major city in the state. Legacy Gun Club -- This club will receive $30,000 to begin the process of building an indoor rifle, pistol and archery facility as well as an indoor hunter-education classroom. The club, which is just north of Austin, would offer opportunities for shooting and hunter education in an urban center that is generally void of such facilities. Rose City Flying Clays -- The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission approved a grant of $30,000 for this range to further develop its shotgun facilities. This range also sponsors youth sport-shooting activities in East Texas. Grants are available to qualifying applicants from both private and governmental sectors that provide public use and hunter education at their facilities.

Topic: Got my first infusion of Avastin today
Hello Dearest Friends,
Yesterday I had a paracentesis yielding 6.9 liters of fluid, and today I received my first infusion of Avastin with nothing else. It took about 90 minutes. So far I am feeling okay. I will keep all you brave warriors posted. I will still be drained once a week and Avastin every other week until oncologist knows if it is working. I am weighing myself everyday, and the past few weeks I have gained 2 or 3 sometimes 5 pounds of fluid a day. My doctors's words, "If this works, it won't cure you, but it could prolong your life and give you a better quality of life." I mostly listen to you guys instead of him.
My niece Stacy and her five year old Olivia are here from Reno until tomorrow, and having them here has done so much for my morale. Hollie from Truckee drives down tomorrow until Sunday. Sarah and baby Anna will come on Tuesday and stay a few days. I love my girls so much.
Faith in Christ, and my prayers for all of you daily.

I notice you throw a d plastic cyclone. That's what I started with, but I ordered x on my last batch of discs. The x seems to have slightly different flight characteristics.
The reason i went with x was because I thought I would get more distance out of it. Should I go back to the pro d plastic?
Also, is the x plastic domier than pro D? It has been a while since I had purchased cyclones since I had a pretty good reserve.

MULTI-MILLION pound work to redevelop a West Oxfordshire church hall could begin in the next few weeks after a two-year legal wrangle in a religious court.
St John the Baptist Church in Burford has now been granted approval by the Church of England's consistory court to carry out the £3.5m work at nearby Warwick Hall.
West Oxfordshire District Council granted planning permission in May 2012, but residents and the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings were concerned about the removal of two trees, temporary relocation of five gravestones, rebuilding of a gate post and path resurfacing.
They appealed to the consistory court, meaning the building work was automatically unlawful, unless it was granted a "faculty" by the court's judge, the Chancellor of the Diocese of Oxford.
Church of England spokesman Arun Arora said a "faculty" is permission to amend or dispose of church property, such as making changes to a church building.
The judge, the Rev and Worshipful Alexander McGregor, overruled the automatic judgment on Tuesday last week, saying current facilities are "inadequate."
Work will now be carried out in the 12th Century St John's churchyard to allow improved access to the church hall, with a new community facility built.
Rev Richard Coombs, rector of the church, said: "We're delighted with the judgment – this is the final hurdle in getting permission to build the new community facility. We want to convert our old Victorian church hall into a 21st century community centre. We see this as a tangible way of demonstrating our commitment to the community."
The church raised money for the development from donations and a loan by the congregation and grants from bodies including the Burford Charity Trustees and Falkland Hall Trust.
Plans include creating a new entrance to the churchyard, refurbishing the current hall and creating a larger second hall.
A consistory court explained
A consistory court hearing is held when a formal objection is made to a church's application for a faculty
Church of England spokesman Arun Arora said a "faculty" is permission to amend or dispose of church property, like making changes to a church building
A hearing can also be held if a parish wants to sell a valuable or historic item
The court hears evidence on oath and legal argument from both parties' legal representatives, such as in other courts, or they can represent themselves
About two court hearings are held on average a year in the Diocese of Oxford
Mr Arora said: "In general terms, hearings are not frequently held because if an application for a faculty is straightforward and no-one objects it can be granted on consideration of the papers."

A Trial of Topical Dexamethasone Versus Artificial Tears for Treatment of Viral Conjunctivitis

- How to Read a Study Record
Viral conjunctivitis causes redness, tearing, swelling, and irritation of the eyes that typically lasts from 1 to 3 weeks. Current management of this condition focuses on supportive care while the viral infection completes its course and resolves. However, many patients still experience substantial discomfort despite standard treatments, and, given the disproportionate morbidity and potential economic impact associated with an outbreak of infective conjunctivitis, a therapeutic agent that reduces clinical symptoms of and minimizes shedding of infectious virus would be desirable.
Povidone-iodine is an antiseptic extensively used in preparation for general surgery, ophthalmic purposes, and laboratory disinfection. Dilute povidone-iodine solutions inhibit numerous viruses, bacteria, fungi, and some other parasites. Low cost, effectiveness, and lack of microbial resistance make povidone-iodine an appealing drug to treat ocular infections, especially in developing countries. Previously studies showed that povidone-iodine is a potential option to reduce contagiousness in cases of adenoviral infections. Dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% it is a mixture containing a steroid and antiseptic is promising as a suitable therapeutic agent for the treatment of EKC. A small, prospective, open-label, single-armed clinical trial of dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% administration in humans with symptoms of acute conjunctivitis who tested positive for adenoviral antigen was therapeutically successful. In other study, dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% combination markedly lowered the viral concentration and improved the manifestations of the disease.
So, the favorable human data in combination with in vivo results provide a strong impetus for a human phase III clinical trial to test the efficacy of this drug in a larger group and also to evaluate complete safety to properly establish the therapeutic benefit versus adverse effect for these reasons, the investigators chose to study the efficacy of dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% in treating the symptoms and signs of viral conjunctivitis. The administration of dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% can be a secure, tolerable and affective treatment to inflammatory and infective component of acute viral conjunctivitis.

Detailed Description:
Patients who met the study criteria and who agreed to participate in the study were randomly assigned to receive either dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% or artificial tears. Sealed, randomly numbered opaque manila envelopes containing unlabeled bottles of either dexamethasone 0.1%/povidone-iodine 0.4% or artificial tears were given to the patient. Patients were instructed to put one drop into each symptomatic eye four times daily for 7 days. The identity of the drops was masked to both the investigators and patients until the study was closed. At the end of the study, the code for the randomization scheme was obtained. This study was approved by an ethics committee linked to the Institution of origin, and written informed consent was obtained from all patients.
Patients were evaluated at baseline and were asked to return either 5, 10 and 30 days later for a follow-up evaluation. The principal efficacy variables were six symptoms of viral conjunctivitis: overall discomfort, itching, foreign body sensation, tearing, redness, and lid swelling. Four signs of viral conjunctivitis were also evaluated: conjunctival injection, conjunctival chemosis, conjunctival mucus, and lid edema.
Each of the symptoms was rated by the patient at presentation and at follow-up on a 4 point scale: none (0), mild (1), moderate (2), or severe (3). In addition, each patient was asked to report their opinion on the usefulness of the treatment in relieving their symptoms on a 4-point scale: did not help (0), unsure (1), think it helped (2), and sure it helped (3).

BROOKLYN, Mich. — Six of the top-10 starters for the Quicken Loans 400 on Sunday have not won this season.
Five of those are in the top seven — Kurt Busch (second), Paul Menard (fourth), Aric Almirola (fifth), Joey Logano (sixth) and Austin Dillon (seventh).
So they have completed the first hurdle: good early track position and good pit stalls at Michigan International Speedway. Starting time for Sunday's race is 1:16 p.m. ET.
— Qualifying: Edwards fastest | Friday practice | Latest on death of Jason Leffler
Here's a breakdown of the Quicken Loans 400 starting lineup:
1. Carl Edwards — Bad news: His car will have less grip in race trim. Good news: So will everyone else.
2. Kurt Busch — What could happen to Busch this week to thwart a good finish? With his luck this year, he might not even want to tempt the fuel-mileage gods.
3. Kasey Kahne — Likely the driver with the closest personal relationship with Jason Leffler in the Cup field, he races with a heavy heart.
4. Paul Menard — Best starting spot ever for a Cup race at Michigan for Menard.
5. Aric Almirola — Has fond memories of Michigan. He won the June 2010 truck race at MIS.
6. Joey Logano — Has three consecutive top-10s, which have put him 16th in the standings.
7. Austin Dillon — Best Cup start in his seven-race Cup career.
8. Matt Kenseth — Has led laps in six of the past seven Michigan races. But down on horsepower could limit his success Sunday.
9. Kyle Busch — Won here in August 2011 but had finishes of 32nd (engine issue) and 13th last season.
10. Juan Pablo Montoya — Still looking for his first top-five at Michigan.
11. Denny Hamlin — He is going to get an engine on the brink of breaking. But it will produce a little more horsepower as he's desperate for wins.
12. Dale Earnhardt Jr. — He won here a year ago and Tony Stewart declared a national holiday. Or something like that.
13. Martin Truex Jr. — At 17th in points, his chances of repeating as a Chase for the Sprint Cup participant are dwindling.
14. Tony Stewart — First race in four weeks where he hadn't tested at the track this year. So the race will be a test to see how far his team has come.
15. Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — Good qualifying run for a guy who has never been in a Cup car at Michigan.
16. Brad Keselowski — Matter-of-fact comment about other teams scooping up Penske talent created a firestorm he probably didn't need or want this week. But it was a little entertaining.
17. Jimmie Johnson — Might have to work harder to run well this week than he did last week.
18. Jeff Burton — Has one top-10 in past 20 races at MIS.
19. Greg Biffle — So much for momentum after second-place finish at Pocono.
20. Bobby Labonte — To the delight of his faithful fans, out-qualified AJ Allmendinger.
21. Kevin Harvick — Had started in top-20 in six of past seven races.
22. Mark Martin — Last race until Indianapolis for Martin as Brian Vickers/Michael Waltrip taking care of next four races.
23. Marcos Ambrose — Sat on the pole here a year ago. Amazing difference a year makes.
24. Casey Mears — Has two career second-place finishes at Michigan … in Indy Lights.
25. Trevor Bayne — First Cup race as a married man. Not sure what that means, but he won his first Nationwide race as a married man.
26. David Gilliland — Has never finished higher than 17th at Michigan.
27. Clint Bowyer — Starting this far back can't just be the result of decreased Toyota horsepower, can it?
28. Jamie McMurray — Surprisingly much slower than teammate Montoya in qualifying.
29. Jeff Gordon — Went out first in qualifying. Has to hope that was a reason he's starting this far back.
30. Michael McDowell — Top qualifier among the start-and-parks.
31. David Ragan — Has started outside the top-30 in four of the past five races.
32. AJ Allmendinger — He's there to evaluate the JTG Daugherty Racing cars. Probably has talked to them for hours after that qualifying performance.
33. David Reutimann — Has finished on the lead lap only twice this year — Daytona and Richmond.
34. David Stremme — Has qualified in the 34th, 33rd and 34th spots the past three weeks.
35. Ryan Newman — Never thought he would start so far back. Especially at Michigan.
36. Dave Blaney — Was at Bridgeport Speedway when Leffler died. And he'd go back there and race again tomorrow.
37. Danica Patrick — If track is slick with lack of grip after the initial laps on new tires, could be a long day for Patrick.
38. Josh Wise — Did fewest laps in Friday practice with seven.
39. Ken Schrader — First Cup start since Martinsville.
40. JJ Yeley — Yeley and Blaney will be replaced at Tommy Baldwin Racing next week by Victor Gonzalez and Justin Marks for the Sonoma road course.
41. Travis Kvapil — Worst starting spot of the season since Daytona.
42. Joe Nemechek — Coming off disappointing Pocono where oil pump malfunctioned.
43. Mike Bliss — Has to be weird for him sitting in the seat that Jason Leffler was in last week as Leffler filled in for Bliss, who was racing Nationwide in Iowa.

Walker undergoes appendectomy, placed on DL
PITTSBURGH -- Pirates second baseman Neil Walker was a late scratch from the lineup Monday due to abdominal pain.
It was later revealed that Walker needed an appendectomy and was subsequently placed on the 15-day DL. With the move, the Pirates recalled top prospect Gregory Polanco from Triple-A. Josh Harrison, who started at second base in Monday's 6-2 victory over the Cubs, will remain there as Polanco will play in right.
Walker had played in all of the Pirates' first 62 games this season and started in the first 58, being held out of the starting lineup against the Padres last Wednesday for the first time before appearing for a pinch-hit at-bat in the eighth inning.
The switch-hitting Pittsburgh native is batting .280 with 35 RBIs and 11 homers. His RBIs are tied for most on the team along with Pedro Alvarez, and Walker has the most home runs of any National League second baseman.
