2014 Martinsville: Ford NASCAR Sprint Cup Qualifying Quotes
Posted by: ASkyler on Mar 28, 2014 - 06:22 PM
2014 Martinsville: Ford NASCAR Sprint Cup Qualifying Quotes
JOEY LOGANO - No. 22 Shell/Pennzoil Ford Fusion - NOTE: Logano set a Martinsville Speedway track record in winning the first qualifying session when he turned a lap of 18.898 seconds (100.20 mph). Logano will start third on Sunday after placing in that position during the final qualifying round.
LOGANO PRESS CONFERENCE - WHAT ARE YOUR PROSPECTS FOR SUNDAY? "I feel like our Shell/Pennzoil Ford has speed in it obviously. The guys were telling me thatâs our sixth segment weâve won in qualifying here and we only have one pole, so Iâm winning the wrong ones and itâs really frustrating me. Iâm a little mad about our second run there. I felt like we really had a shot at the pole, but, overall, I feel like for Sunday our car is decent. I think everyone is fighting forward drive, which eventually makes your entry really loose. Thatâs typical Martinsville practice. Your car is usually struggling for forward drive and then in the race it gets a little bit better as it rubbers in, but the track also loses a little bit of turn and gets a little tighter. So far itâs typical Martinsville, but I will say this new rules package has helped the carâs handling quite a bit. You may see a little bit of a different race because the cars are handling a little bit better and that obviously results in a track record as you saw today. So weâve got a track record, but we donât have a pole, so how does that work?"
DO YOU THINK QUALIFYING IS HAVING AN EFFECT ON THE OUTCOME OF THE RACES ON SUNDAY? "I think qualifying always has an effect on how the race turns out. Obviously, the pit stall is very important, especially here. Itâs a dangerous pit road so you want to get a nice spot you can get in and out of, but obviously here itâs a slow pit road and you can make up a lot with timing lines on pit road. For that reason alone itâs big, and thatâs worth multiple spots throughout the race when youâre thinking about making a lot of pit stops. And then obviously qualifying is a big deal for starting position. Third is a good spot. I think itâs better than second because the inside lane usually goes here, especially at the beginning of the race, so weâll try to level out there and try to lead some laps. Weâve got our car tuned in and when youâre up front the pressure and the sense of urgency of needing to pass cars is not there as much, and youâre able to save your tires. Thatâs a big deal when youâre here is able to save your tires for the long run and when youâre positioned towards the front it allows you to do that. When youâre trying to pass cars and run underneath them and wearing your stuff out, you lose quite a bit of tire wear and eventually in the long run youâll show that. So being able to start towards the front is an advantage for that reason, that you can save your stuff and be there for the long run. Hopefully, we keep that track position all day so we donât get in that scenario where we have to push really hard and wear our stuff out."
WAS THE QUALIFYING SESSION HERE CLEANER THAN YOU EXPECTED? WERE PEOPLE MORE FORGIVING? OR DID IT GO LIKE YOU THOUGHT IT MIGHT? "I think everyone thought it was gonna be a mess when we didnât have cool down units, and everyone was gonna be out there cooling down and then thereâs no room to go around anybody, so thatâs where I think that maybe came from. Now everyone just wants a clean lap. The sun wasnât poking in or out - no one was thinking that way. Everyone was just, âOK, what do we have to do to get out there and make a clean lap,â and run the fastest you can that way, so I donât think that came into play."
CARL EDWARDS - No. 99 Fastenal Ford Fusion - "Iâm OK with that. Obviously, we want to be better, but thatâs pretty good. Thatâs far better than my average here, so Iâm happy." YOU GOT OUT THERE ONE MORE TIME AT THE END. "Yeah, that was futile but definitely fun. If I would have run a little better I think we could have been top four or five if I would have had a perfect first lap in the second round but thatâs OK. Thatâs good."
GREG BIFFLE - No. 16 3M Ford Fusion - "Weâve run really good here with a bunch of top-10s in a row, so thatâs a good start to it. Although last year we qualified 32nd and ran all the way to the front. Hopefully, we donât qualify at the front and run at the back, but weâve got a decent car. We cut a lap there in the first round. I got in and it rotated really good and went right back in the gas, so I got a pretty good lap there. Now weâve got our work cut out for us in race trim to get it driving good and get it fast and consistent."
ARIC ALMIROLA - No. 43 STP Ford Fusion - "The car was really loose in practice and we got too tight there in qualifying. Weâre starting 20th, but the starting position here at Martinsville is not that big of a deal. The race pace falls off a lot and if your car can hold on and stay consistent throughout the run, you can pass a lot of cars here so Iâm not really concerned. Obviously, we wanted to qualify better than that. I think weâve got the best appearing car for sure, so weâll go get them for Sunday."
MARCOS AMBROSE - No. 9 DeWalt Ford Fusion - "I had some pretty crazy axle hop going into three there, but we were a little bit desperate. We were on the bubble of making it by about a half-tenth from the top 12, and started off into three there. Weâve got some small springs and new stuff here for Martinsville and something either coil bound or I applied the brake getting into three and got a lot of axle hop and couldnât stop it. I took it all the way to the fence, but weâre in the top 20. Weâve got a decent car. Weâre gonna make the most of it here and see if we can make it a winning car in tomorrowâs practice."

Warning - MATH ahead!
Free agency is fun, especially if you feel your team is one or two players away from the promised land of a championship.
One of the things to take into consideration with free agency is how exactly a prospective free agent addition will "fit" with their new team.
That is not merely a matter of production, but moreso how well a players skillset meshes with their teammates.
It has been proven time and time again in professional sports that simply loading up on all-star talent is not a formula for success, nor can a team win merely by being one-dimensional building a successful team requires bringing together the right combination of players, not necessarily the best players.
One way to look at player combinations beyond is in terms of a players style or function on a team. For example, knowing whether a player tends to be more of a scorer or a player who can influence the game without scoring or more interior than perimeter.
David Sparks playing style spectrum can be quite useful for looking at player combinations.

Heather is sharing 10 fun water and ice activities for kids to enjoy on a hot summer day:
We're more than halfway through our summer break and just now starting to feel the heat. As the kids begin to anticipate school, I'm trying to get them outside while they still can. But, it's just too hot to play!
Cue the water, ice, and fun ways to keep cool at home. Sure, they'd like to hit the waterpark every day, but our budget doesn't quite allow for that frequency. Instead, we're looking for frugal activities to help them beat the heat in our own backyard.
Here are my 10 favorite ideas to play with water and ice:
- Pop Bottle Sprinkler
- Glowing Ice Painting
- DIY Water Wall
- Excavating Ice
- The Water Blob
- Ice Bowling
- Faux Water Table
- Ice Tunnels
- Colored Ice Blocks
- Ice Fishing Magnets
Have fun and stay cool!Yum

AS Easter rapidly approaches, people are being invited to take part in the Great Somerset Duck Race.
The fundraiser will see 10,000 plastic ducks sail the River Tone on Saturday, March 30th at 11am in aid of Cancer Research UK.
The ducks will be launched from Goodland Gardens, in a race to the river bridge next to Morrisons supermarket.
Dawn Harrison, Cancer Research UK's area volunteer manager for Somerset, said: "We are absolutely delighted this wonderful event is being organised, what a lovely sight it will make at Easter, thousands of colourful ducks floating through Taunton.
"Cancer Research UK has made enormous progress in the fight against cancer and continues to do so.
"However, we have only been able to do this thanks to the dedication and commitment of our volunteers and supporters without whom we would not be able to fund our life saving research."
Cash made from the race will be put towards clinical trials in Somerset helping to shape the future of cancer treatments.
Trials run in hospitals across the UK and many are recruiting patients in hospitals such as Taunton's Musgrove Park.
Among these are the STAMPEDE trial, which is researching new ways to treat prostate cancer, and the HOPON trial, which is looking at reducing side effects of treatments for head and neck cancer.

text: http://msn.foxsports.com/story/2686788 Bledsoe, Warner among NFL's most overpaid In the high-rent district of the NFL, as with most commercial real estate, you get what you pay for. But not always. For every free-agent bargain, there's a costly mistake. For every late-round draft gem, a first-round bust. "Let the buyer beware" is more than an excuse to dust off your old high school Latin (Caveat emptor, Brute?). It's also good advice. With that in mind, we present our totally subjective list of the NFL's most overpaid players. Some are career underachievers, while others boast contracts that seem exorbitant, to say the least, but all have delivered very little bang for the buck. 1. Drew Bledsoe, QB, Bills Drew Bledsoe may have had self-preservation in mind when he agreed to restructure his contract with the Bills in the off-season. (Don Heupel / AP) How bad was Bledsoe last season? The Buffalo quarterback tops our list even though he agreed to rework his contract during the off-season to give the team some cap relief. Bledsoe's $8.75 million salary might rank in the bottom half among starting quarterbacks, but it's still big money for someone coming off the least-productive full season of his 11-year career. After setting 10 franchise records in his first season with Buffalo, Bledsoe suffered through a dismal 2003 campaign in which he threw more interceptions (12) than touchdown passes (11), was sacked an NFL-high 49 times and failed to produce an offensive touchdown in an incredible seven games. Coming off a season like that, and having just celebrated his 32nd birthday, Bledsoe's willingness to take a pay cut was less altruism than a matter of survival — especially after watching the Bills use a first-round draft choice on Tulane quarterback J.P. Losman. 2. Courtney Brown, DE, Browns In the long history of the NFL Draft, few No. 1 overall selections have done so little for so much as Brown, who was the first pick of the reborn Browns in 2000. The easygoing defensive end actually had one of his better seasons statistically last fall, with 60 tackles and a career-high six sacks, but for the third time in four seasons he finished it on the sideline, this time with an arm injury. During his four-year career, the injury-prone Brown has had more missed games (19) than sacks (17), while cashing $20.47 million in Cleveland paychecks. At those prices, he owes the Browns more than the off-season contract restructuring that dropped his 2004 cap number from $9.183 million to $8.305 million. 3. Gerard Warren, DT, Browns Warren hasn't been quite the bust his Cleveland defensive linemate has been, but he hasn't developed into a dominating interior tackle, either. The third overall selection in the 2001 draft, Warren plays with more passion than the low-key Brown, but he has been equally unproductive and consistently inconsistent both on and off the field. Warren had a career-high 5 1/2 sacks last season but a career-low 32 tackles, and the $1.693 million the Browns saved by restructuring his contract in the off-season is but a small return on their investment. 4. Kurt Warner, QB, Giants Go ahead and call it a cheap shot. Trot out the old injury excuse. The bottom line is this former two-time NFL MVP went 0-7 during his final two seasons with the Rams, while pocketing more than $12 million of owner Georgia Frontiere's pin money. No wonder St. Louis was so anxious to kiss him goodbye after the June 1 deadline. The two-year, $3.5 million contract Warner signed with the Giants is modest by quarterback standards — especially when compared to Eli Manning's six-year deal and $20 million signing bonus — but what happens if the rookie starts from Day 1? Another season of clipboard holding and Warner hardly qualifies as a bargain, at any price. 5. Peerless Price, WR, Falcons To be fair, Price's disappointing first season with the Falcons should come with an asterisk attached since he played most of it without injured quarterback Michael Vick. Peerless Price gave the Falcons precious few reasons to celebrate after receiving a $10 million signing bonus last season. (Brian Bahr / GettyImages) On the other hand, Atlanta had a right to expect more than 64 receptions and three touchdowns after trading a first-round draft choice to Buffalo for Price, who also received a new contract that included a $10 million signing bonus. With the exception of a 12-catch, 168-yard game against Minnesota, Price did nothing to justify that payout, but with a new offense and Vick healthy again, the Falcons still could get their money's worth. 6. Grant Wistrom, DE, Seahawks No offense to the hard-working Wistrom, but a $14 million signing bonus is a lot to pay for a defensive end who had just 42 sacks in eight seasons with the Rams. As Rams coach Mike Martz joked after Wistrom signed with Seattle, "I wanted to know what store he bought his lottery ticket in, because I wanted to shop there." You can't blame Wistrom for cashing in on a thin free-agent market, and in terms of effort, he'll no doubt earn every penny of his six-year, $33 million contract. But at those prices, the Seahawks have a right to expect some sacks, too. 7. Jevon Kearse, DE, Eagles Speaking of lottery winners, no one cashed a bigger ticket this off-season than Kearse, who landed an eight-year, $66 million contract with the Eagles that included a $16 million signing bonus. Not bad for a one-dimensional defensive end who had just 11 1/2 sacks in his last two seasons with the Titans, while missing 14 games due to injuries. In today's NFL, as his contract and the Wistrom deal showed, it pays to be a pass rusher. 8. Cornelius Griffin, DT, Redskins In defense of the Eagles, Kearse was a dominant player early in his career and could be again, barring injury. But how to explain the $8 million signing bonus the Redskins gave Griffin, who had five sacks as a rookie reserve with the Giants, then just 7 1/2 in three seasons as a starter? Griffin's seven-year, $30.8 million deal is extravagant even by free-spending owner Dan Snyder's standards for a hit-or-miss player who can bomb big-time and still laugh all the way to the bank. 9. Ron Dayne, RB, Giants The Giants' maligned running back has gotten some rare good press this summer, thanks to an off-season weight-loss program and two strong preseason games, but that's not much of a return on the team's original five-year, $7 million investment. After rushing for a career-high 770 yards as a rookie, Dayne's career went belly up, bottoming out last season, when he didn't dress for a single game. Dayne's salary might not be as large as some of the other players on this list, but anyone who can pocket $616,000 for doing absolutely nothing deserves a place on it.

Well, Jake White is certainly making a point right now, isn't he? Not wanted in South Africa after guiding the Springboks to World Cup glory in 2007, White was in the wilderness before taking up the job as Brumbies coach last year.
And in the space of a year-and-a-half, he's turned the former champions into a team that will seriously challenge for the title this year.
The Brumbies were on the up last season just to be pipped by the Reds for the Australian Conference but with four wins in four matches this season and out front by six points it's clear the early leaders are the team to watch – and beat.
They were expected to give the Sharks a good run for their money in Durban – both teams went into the game unbeaten so far this year – but not too many actually expected them to win, let alone do so in the manner they did.
White worked them out brilliantly – but then he's always been a master tactician – and his players delivered a stunning performance.
They were efficient and clinical and had the bonus point in the bag before half-time – game over. And even though the Sharks staged something of a late fightback, for a side who battle to score tries this season, that kind of lead by the Brumbies was always going to be tough to overhaul. The Sharks were dominated in most areas and never allowed to get into the game. The performance will have made coach John Plumtree a tad worried ahead of the visit this week to Durban of the Rebels.
The Sharks should always beat the men from Melbourne, but confidence will not be too high this week so we could be in for another interesting game. As for the Brumbies, well, they're up against the Stormers this coming week, the Cape side coming off a bye and not nearly in the form to suggest they'll be favourites on Saturday. White could very easily leave his homeland next Sunday with two major SA scalps in the bag.
It wasn't only the Brumbies who caused something of an upset this weekend, but, as suggested a week ago, there were plenty more surprise results in Super Rugby at the weekend. And for South Africa it was something of a black weekend, just a week on from what many called a stunner for this country after four local teams won and the Kings put up a spirited display.
Not only did the Sharks get a hiding, but the Bulls and Kings lost, with only the Cheetahs picking up a win and what a win it was.
Naka Drotske's men produced a wonderful display against the Highlanders last weekend and they followed that up with a second straight win on tour when they beat the Waratahs. It was a close affair, but they won and will now really believe they can make it three wins on tour when they come up against the Western Force this weekend. They'll be up against their former team-mate, Sias Ebersohn, who helped the Force to a surprise win over the Reds on Saturday.
The Crusaders, desperate to win for the first time this year, turned back the clock and produced a vintage performance against the Bulls in Christchurch, scoring several quality tries and inflicting a first defeat on the Bulls.
Frans Ludeke's men were outplayed in most areas and there will be some concern that the three-time champions aren't able to put together back-to-back performances of equal quality.
On Friday in Port Elizabeth, the Kings again showed they belong at this level – if only for the time being – when they made the Chiefs fight extremely hard for their bonus point win. The Kings were far from embarrassed – as some thought they'd be – but their biggest test will come now on tour in Australasia, starting this weekend against the Crusaders.
Sharks 10 Brumbies 29; Reds 12 Force 19; Crusaders 41 Bulls 19; Kings 24 Chiefs 35; Waratahs 26 Cheetahs 27; Highlanders 19 Hurricanes 23
Friday: Chiefs v Highlanders
Saturday: Crusaders v Kings; Reds v Bulls; Force v Cheetahs; Sharks v Rebels; Stormers v Brumbies
Sunday: Waratahs v Blues - The Star

In the new track, the singer tells his girl to take off her clothes because he thinks she looks 'much better wearing nothing at all.'
Jay Sean has returned with a new track and its accompanying music video. Entitled "Take That Off", the song is a sultry R&B tune in which Sean urges his lady to take off her clothes because he thinks she's going to look prettier in her birthday suit.
"I don't want to see those clothes on/ They look better on the floor," the British singer croons. "You look so much better girl/ When you're wearing nothing, nothing, nothing at all/ Baby take that off."
In the black-and-white music video, Sean is seen performing onstage and returning home to be with his girl, who slowly undresses herself on the bed.
"Take That Off" is the first offering from Sean's forthcoming mixtape, "The Mistress Part 2: Room Service". The mixtape is scheduled to be released sometime early this year.

- 53 percent of boomers and Gen X believed it would be a good thing if their parents used technology more with 45 percent of these stating that it will help them stay better connected with friends and family.
- Only 9 percent of those surveyed believe that their parents are savvy or extremely savvy when it comes to technology use.
- Boomers and Gen X want their aging parents to utilize monitoring technologies, such as home health monitors (45 percent) or security systems (43 percent). However, only 17 percent are using home health monitors and 12 percent have a security system.
- 40 percent of boomers and Gen X said their parents think technology is "too hard" to learn. Respondents point to the fact that the time involved in learning to use a device and fixing potential problems discourages use.
Philips and the Global Social Enterprise Initiative (GSEI) at Georgetown University's McDonough School of Business released a survey today that found both baby boomers and Generation X (Gen X) place high value on technology as they age. However, 95 percent believe today's technology needs to be better developed to help them successfully age at home, or age in place, for as long as possible. While 73 percent of boomers and Gen X surveyed want to age in their own home, they believe they will have significant barriers to achieving this through the aid of technology, such as access and adoption, cost, privacy, complexity of use, product integration, and public policy. These barriers, which need to be addressed for future generations, already have a deep impact on how seniors currently use technology today. For instance, only 18 percent of those over 65 own a smart phone and only 56 percent use the Internet.* These behaviors are echoed in the Philips/GSEI study as both Gen X and boomers feel that their aging parents (age 60+) are not utilizing technology as well as they could.

What should be planted to replace a tree that was killed by P. ramorum?
If you want to replant, it is important to choose a plant that will suit your needs and adapt well to the site. There are many resources available that can guide you to making the right choice. Check to see if there are any local ordinances or guidelines that govern tree replacement or planting.
Resistance to P. ramorum in oak trees is just beginning to be explored. Resistant planting stock is not available at this time, nor is it known if it will ever be available. If you want to replant the same species of tree that was lost, there is a risk that the new tree may also suffer from the disease. If you have space for replanting many trees, consider replanting the same species in combination with other trees that don't get the disease. Thus, if some trees are lost to P. ramorum there will still be other trees that survive.
Restoration of Oak Woodlands: This report describes in detail the planning and implementation of restoration measures for oak woodlands that have been impacted by P. ramorum. It includes guidelines for determining the current status of the land, deciding what you hope to achieve with the restoration, and determining how you plan to execute the restoration.

THERE were lots of cheers and plenty of tears when teacher Jayne Worrall was announced as the winner of the Warrington Guardian's teacher of the month award.
It was a day full of celebrations as the entire school, including a number of parents, watched the teacher of more than 20 years collect the accolade.
The award, which is sponsored by education recruitment and training consultancy Academics Ltd, honours a deserving teacher who has made a real difference to the school community.
Mrs Worrall, who has worked at Meadowside Primary School for the past four years, had dedicated the past 20 years to teaching and now couldn't imagine doing anything else.
The 48-year-old, who works in the school's development centre teaching children with additional needs, said: "The best part of the job is seeing the children and the progress they make. The school is also like a family here. We all support each other."
Mrs Worrall, who also worked at Bruche Primary School for more than 15 years, was nominated by parent Jo Warburton, who described her as an 'inspiration' after seeing her daughter Grace grow from a shy, withdrawn youngster to a creative, happy and funny little girl with her help.
Jo said: "Having Mrs Worrall in our lives has made us feel like we have won the lottery every day. Having a teacher like that in your life is so reassuring to our family.
"As you can imagine Mrs Worrall faces challenging behaviour on a daily basis as her students all have different additional needs, but has never complained.
"My daughter has faced many challenges before she started school but Mrs Worrall has been there for Grace and my family, through every step of the journey, a shoulder to cry on and always a friendly face at the end of a day."

A new political party has called for banks to be hit with "gouging fines" for overcharging customers as the big-four Australian banks prepare to unveil record half-year profits.
The Bank Reform Party, which will run Senate candidates at the upcoming federal election, said an independent panel should judge whether banks were charging too much on home-loan interest rates and other fees and issue fines accordingly.
The call for action against the banks comes as the big four get set to report record half-year profits that are likely to total more than $13 billion.
"We are floating the idea of a gouging fine," said
"Most of the problems we see in banking are simply because we have an oligopoly that is demonstrating cartel-like behaviour. We need to do something about that."
Combined, the profits of the big four banks are expected to total about $13.2 billion for the first half of the 2013 financial year.
Australian Banking Association chief
"Banks with lower levels of profitability tend to be in areas like Europe and the US," he said.
"While the absolute numbers of profits [for banks in Australia] are large, they are very large businesses. They lend across the economy with trillions of dollars of loans outstanding and we think the profitability is a clear sign that we have a safe and stable banking system."
Mr Bradley, a former media manager at
The Bank Reform Party also plans to field Senate candidates in Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and possibly the ACT.
Mr Bradley said the big four had profited from the lack of competition in banking.
"We have the least competitive banking sector in the world . . . the big four and their subsidiaries control 90 per cent of the market so it is hardly surprising that they are going to be making record profits," he said.
There are five months until the federal election in September. The idea of a gouging fine for banks follows the push by the Greens for a "super profits" tax on the big four.
Shadow treasurer
Mr Munchenberg said criticism of the banks was misplaced.
"I think most of our senior politicians understand that banks profits are in line with the size of their businesses and in line with other similar safe, stable banking systems around the world. It always attracts a degree of attention of course," he said.

The practice causes widespread pollution, and is blamed for damaging the health of local people.
Julia says she is frequently threatened for her challenge to the industry, but has won some significant concessions.
Mountaintop removal mining involves blasting off the tops of mountains so that machines can remove thin seams of coal.
It devastates streams and forests, and local homes often suffer flooding and blast damage.
Levelling the Appalachians
The pollution from the mining and the toxic chemicals used in treating the coal have been linked to rising asthma rates and other respiratory complaints: Julia's grandson is affected.
Debris from the mountaintop removal has buried 1,000 miles of streams and valleys, and killed several people. Opponents say half of West Virginia's mountains will be flattened in 20 years on present trends.
Julia, the daughter of a miner, says she routinely receives menacing anonymous phone calls, and has been threatened by the mining company's armed security guards.
Power for the poor
But she has persuaded the state mining board to act against one mine and to introduce more stringent measures against blasting.
She has also built up a partnership with the United Mine Workers' union to campaign against the menace of overweight coal trucks, which are blamed for 14 deaths in the last two years.
"She brings in politicians and other activists to see the effects of mountaintop removal mining.
"She knows she is giving people living in the coalfields voice and power nationwide."
Julia, director of Coal River Mountain Watch, is one of the winners of the 2003 Goldman Environmental Prize, chosen by an international jury.
Other winners are:
The organisers say the prizes, worth a total of $750,000, are awarded to give "these environmental heroes the recognition, visibility, and credibility their efforts deserve".
Richard Goldman, the awards' founder, said: "In the current political climate, it is more important than ever to recognise people who are working to protect the health of their water, air and community resources."

Maj. Thomas C. 'Tom' Griffin: Doolittle Raider WWII veteran helped lift American morale
CINCINNATI — Maj. Thomas C. "Tom" Griffin, a B-25 bomber navigator in the audacious Doolittle's Raid attack on mainland Japan during World War II, has died.
His death at 96 leaves four surviving Raiders.
Griffin passed away Tuesday in a veterans nursing home in northern Kentucky. He was among the 80 original volunteers for the daring April 18, 1942, mission. When they began training, they were told only it would be "extremely hazardous," coming in the aftermath of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor and a string of other Japanese military successes.
"We needed to hit back," Griffin said in an interview a year ago in his suburban Cincinnati home. The attack on Tokyo, with a risky launch of 16 land-based bombers at sea from an aircraft carrier, shocked the Japanese and was credited with providing a major lift to American morale.
The planes lacked fuel to reach safe bases after dropping their bombs. Griffin parachuted over China after the attack, eluded Japanese capture, and returned to action in bombing runs from North Africa before being shot down in 1943 and spending nearly two years in a German prison camp.
Griffin died less than two months from what will be the Raiders' final annual reunion, April 17-21 in Fort Walton Beach, in the Florida Panhandle where the Raiders trained for the attack.
"We kind of expected it, because he had gone downhill pretty quickly the last few weeks, but you can never really prepare yourself for when one of these guys goes," said Tom Casey, manager of the Doolittle Raiders Association.
Griffin took part in last year's 70th reunion at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force near Dayton, which included survivors and relatives of the USS Hornet carrier and Chinese villagers who helped the Raiders elude capture. Eight Raiders were captured, and three were executed. A fourth died in captivity. Villagers suspected of hiding the Americans were executed.
"We had a lot of near-misses, when they (Japanese soldiers) raided places we had been the night before," recalled Griffin, who had parachuted into a tree without major injury. Three Raiders died off China after the raid.

CORAL GABLES, Fla., and BARCELONA, Spain, Sept. 21 /PRNewswire/ -- Stiefel Laboratories, the world's largest privately held company specializing in dermatology and Grupo Uriach, a Spanish pharmaceutical company focused on drug discovery and early drug development, announced today that they have entered into a licensing agreement to develop and market a new chemical entity, UR- 9825 (albaconazole), an oral broad spectrum antifungal that has shown a superior clinical profile in Phase II trials.
The agreement has the potential for generating annual product sales in excess of $1 billion, making it the largest deal in Stiefel's history. Under the agreement, Stiefel Laboratories will have exclusive rights to develop and market UR-9825 worldwide.
Uriach receives an upfront payment, milestone payments and royalties on future worldwide sales. In some European countries Uriach will be co-marketing partner. Finally, Uriach becomes the preferred commercial partner for Stiefel's Spanish affiliate, in the event that Stiefel looks for a Spanish partner to promote any of its products in Spain.
"This is a great step forward for both companies. We appreciate and value our new relationship with Uriach and plan to work with them to make major strides in bringing needed medicines to market," said Charles W. Stiefel, chairman of the board, CEO, and president of Stiefel Laboratories.
The deal also is significant because it signals the success of Stiefel's new emphasis on business development partnerships as one of the company's key strategies for growth.
"Our agreement with Uriach is consistent with our business strategy to maximize utilization of investigational agents in our portfolio as we strengthen and promote our worldwide leadership in dermatology. This is just the first of what promises to be many such partnerships as we build and invest in external relationships. As a preferred partner of choice for global and local agreements, we fully intend to aggressively pursue other partnerships with other excellent companies," said Stiefel.
"In recent years, Uriach developed albaconazole through preclinical and clinical testing, all the way to a Phase II proof-of-concept study. After reaching this clinical milestone, we looked for a partner that could turn this promising molecule into a worldwide commercial success in the broadest possible sense. Stiefel Laboratories is the perfect partner for this product. They have the technical and commercial expertise, and very importantly, a corporate culture that is very similar to ours. After all, both Stiefel and Uriach are private, family-owned pharmaceutical companies," said Enrique Uriach Torello, CEO of Grupo Uriach.
Albaconazole (UR-9825) is a new chemical entity in the "azole" category discovered at Uriach. It has shown potent activity against a broad range of organisms, including pathogens resistant to other antifungals (such as fluconazole or itraconazole). Albaconazole will be developed as an oral and topical formulation, and will be available to the medical community for a variety of dermatological indications and fungal infections, including vulvovaginal candidiasis. Of vital interest to physicians is that it is also well tolerated and has shown no significant adverse effects.
"Albaconazole shows very favorable physico-chemical characteristics, high potency against a broad range of pathogens including strains resistant to other antifungals and a good safety profile," said Theodore Rosen, M.D., Department of Dermatology Professor at Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas. "The positive results of the Phase II program suggest that albaconazole has a real potential for becoming a best-in-class antifungal addressing important unmet medical needs."
"Because this molecule is so unique and shows such promise in many of the large antifungal markets, the options we can pursue are wide open," said William Humphries, Stiefel Laboratories' senior vice president of global marketing. "We are already a trusted leader in dermatology thanks to our best- in-class global acne portfolio. The full development of albaconazole will be another commercial milestone for us, positioning Stiefel with a best-in-class global antifungal portfolio."
"For Uriach, this agreement opens the possibility for worldwide development and commercialization for albaconazole, something that the company could not realistically do alone. Retaining commercial rights to certain European countries is also consistent with Uriach's strategy to eventually become a paneuropean company. And becoming Stiefel's preferred commercial partner in Spain opens the possibility of having access to new products for Uriach's Spanish sales force to commercialize," said Ignacio Faus, director of business development at Grupo Uriach.
Stiefel will continue to develop albaconazole through its global research and development infrastructure. "We believe that there is a great potential for a host of UR-9825 applications both inside and outside of dermatology," said Marco Taglietti, senior vice president of global research and development for Stiefel. "I am confident that our team of scientists at our three research and development facilities in Maidenhead (United Kingdom), Oak Hill (New York), and Sao Paulo (Brazil) will ensure that this molecule is developed to its fullest potential."

Bobbi Brown Face Blender Brush
Bobbi Brown Face Blender Brush Reviews
Good Versatile BrushI like this brush. I find it to be a good, versatile item. It is great for blending bronzer, blush and face powder seamlessly. It also works well when blending makeup at the jawline to avoid the dreaded line of demarcation. The brush hairs are coarser texture than the other face brushes in this line but I've had no irritation or scratchiness. The brush hairs do tend to get a little "bunched togeth...read moreer" in the center of the brush head. I just gently comb them out and re-comb when washing. Blending gently and not pressing too hard will often solve this problem. It washes easily and is sturdy. The only time this brush shed hairs was upon first use. I've noticed no shedding since. It works well for me. — 6 years, 5 months agoToscanaFirenze | 284 reviews

scratchyi really dislike this brush, after about a month i find that it is very scratchy and sheds alot of small white hairs. not only does the scratchiness irritates my face and leaves me very pink. the head of the brush really is not fluffy (or soft) enough for bronzer, leaving it splotchy looking. terrible at getting all the contours of your face. i have decided enough was enough and threw mine away today. — 7 years, 5 months agoprincessfarrah | 23 reviews

A must have in your brush collectionThis brush is the most unique out of all of the competing brush brands (i.e. Smashbox, Laura Mercier, Nars, etc.). I use it everyday with my bronzer. Not only is it great for blending, the brush is stiff enough for maximum highlighting and sculpting for your face. You can use it with blush, bronzer, and face powder - both pressed and loosed. I recommend it most for your bronzer, and if you can snag a mini version, carry it with you to use to touch up your face throughout the day! — 9 years, 1 month agoBee_K | 13 reviews

I had a usual 5 day period the end of September, in October it only lasted a few days and it wasn't the usual period. The first day I had a very light pink discharge only when wiped, 2nd and 3rd day brownish color and the last 2 days light pink again. I didn't have period in November but it did come beginning of this month for 6 days. Did I have a miscarriage? I didn't think anything of it as I was very busy until my boobs started hurting 10 days after the 6 day period. They've never been this painful and full before. I couldn't sleep properly and it hurt to walk, touch and even when I had my bra on. It hurt all the time even when not touched. My family noticed over Xmas that I look pregnant and asked if I was. I didn't know what they meant till I looked down my stomach and watched pictures they've taken. My bump is visibly clear and is harder in the evening and more like fat in the morning. I took a test and was negative and doctors test was negative and she couldn't feel the baby. :(

Yesterday I finally started work on my garden, and one of the first things I did was a bit of weeding. The large crop of dandelions and other weeds in my lawn will take quite a while to remove, but in the meantime I thought I'd look at the origins of a few garden-related words.
Weed comes from the Old English word wēod (grass, herb, weed), which is related to the Old High German word wiota (fern), and probably comes from the Proto-Germanic word *weud-. The verb to weed comes from the Late Old English weodian [source].
Words for weed in other languages include: chwynnyn (Welsh), fiaile (Irish), 野草 [yěcǎo – "wild grass"] (Mandarin), mauvaise herbe (French – "bad grass"), 雑草 [zassō – "crude/miscellaneous grass"] (Japanese).
Dandelion comes from the Middle French dent de lion (lit. "lion's tooth"), a calque translation of the Middle Latin dens leonis – the leaves are shaped a bit like lion's teeth.
Folk names for dandelion include tell-time, which refers the practice of blowing the seeds – the number of breaths needed supposedly being the hour, and the Middle English and French names piss-a-bed and pissenlit, which refer to its diuretic properties [source].

COLUMBIA — South Carolina should have sought federal approval before putting a previously disqualified state Senate candidate back on the ballot, just as it must for any changes in election law, according to a recently filed lawsuit.
Under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, more than a dozen states, including South Carolina, must get U.S. Justice Department approval before making changes to their election laws. That same requirement means federal officials must review and approve a ruling by the state Supreme Court before GOP candidate Paul Thurmond's name can go on ballots for upcoming runoff and general elections, voter Reginald Williams argued in the lawsuit filed Monday.
Thurmond, along with two other GOP candidates, state Republican officials and elections officials, are named as defendants.
The same federal law has been at the center of lawsuits over South Carolina's redrawn state House and congressional districts and voter ID requirements.
Thurmond, a former Charleston County councilman, has been seeking the GOP nomination in South Carolina's state Senate District 41, a seat held for decades by now-Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell. The 31-year incumbent stepped down as Senate president pro tem earlier this year to assume his constitutional duty after former Lt. Gov. Ken Ard resigned.
Thurmond – who is the son of the late U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond – was among hundreds of candidates removed from ballots earlier this year over improperly filed paperwork. Last week, the high court ruled that Thurmond became the GOP's nominee when he was the lone Republican left on the June primary ballot after other candidates were tossed. As such, the court ruled, the state party had the right to hold another primary to replace their nominee after he was eventually disqualified.
The court said the party could therefore hold another primary, which Thurmond won last week. According to Williams' lawsuit, that constitutes a voting procedure change, which he argues would trigger the federal approvals process.
Special elections weren't held in any of the other nearly 250 races where candidates had been decertified. State election officials told the GOP and Democratic parties that the decertified candidates had never officially been candidates, and concluded that a law allowing special primaries in cases of disqualified candidates didn't apply.
Thurmond is set to appear on an Oct. 2 primary runoff ballot against Sen. Walter Hundley, who has held the job for several months. The winner of that race faces Democrat Paul Tinkler on the general election ballot Nov. 6.
In an e-mail, Thurmond looked ahead to the general election.
"At some point, the Democrats will be out of judges to run to, and the people of the 41st district will actually be able to have a choice in November," Thurmond said.
State Republican Party executive director Matt Moore said the lawsuit was meritless.
Officials with the state Election Commission did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment.

Agricultural Productivity Growth in the Euro-Med Region: Is there Evidence of Convergence?
This paper measures agricultural productivity growth by means of the sequential Malmquist Total Factor Productivity (TFP) index among a set of thirty-two countries including West European, Central and East European (CEE) and Middle East and North African (MENA) countries for the period 1961-2002. At a second stage it is also investigated whether this measure is converging among the countries, by employing cross-sectional tests for absolute and conditional β-convergence as well as for club convergence. Results suggest that despite the fact that the CEE and MENA countries exhibit a high rate of productivity growth after the 1990s, absolute convergence cannot be accepted. Still, evidence for conditional convergence is found and the formation of two separate clubs of countries that converge to different equilibrium points is identified.

Durban - Angry commuters who petrol bombed two trains on Thursday in uMlazi, "because they were late", caused damage estimated at R40 million.
Rail authorities want to charge uMlazi commuters, with economic sabotage and attempted murder.
"We are determined to throw the book at those found guilty of this crime...," said Passenger Rail Agency of South Africa (Prasa) chief executive, Mosenngwa Mofi, who condemned the violence.
Four suspects aged between 20 and 35 years were arrested for public violence police said. They were expected to appear in the uMlazi Magistrate's Court on Friday.
Mofi said they would also lobby prosecuting authorities to charge the commuters with wilful destruction of public property.
Metrorail said it could take months before the trains – one Durban bound; the other uMlazi-bound – were back in operation.
Spokeswoman, Thandi Mkhize, blamed cable theft at the KwaMashu-Duffs Road train station for the two trains being delayed for 30 minutes on Thursday morning.
People fiddling with the railway line in uMlazi had also contributed to the delay, she said.
"Commuters who could not contain their anger then took out their frustrations by setting the trains alight."
The two motor coaches on each train had been torched, Mkhize said. Each coach would cost about R10m to replace – a repair bill of R40m.
"The problem is that a train cannot move anywhere without its motor coaches," she said. "We will now also have a problem of train availability with these two trains out of action, and it will take months before they are back at work." Daily they transport 160 000 people using 52 train sets across the province. Each set has 12 coaches.
"Following this incident we will be running short sets, which will only have eight coaches, until the two trains have been repaired," she said. Mkhize said they only used buses if they could not run a train at all happened on Thursday.
Metrorail has made plans to bus the affected commuters.
Provincial police spokesman, Colonel Vincent Mdunge, said that police would be on standby to monitor the situation on Friday.
Daily News reporter, Sihle Mhlongo, who lives near the uMlazi train station, said he heard a commotion at around 8am.
"Commuters were angry that the train was late. It usually comes around five and people were very angry," he said. "They had then thrown two petrol bombs at the trains and set them alight. After that it was chaotic. Police came to try to control the crowd."
Mhlongo said the angry commuters had even tried to stone the buses that had been provided for them.
"They blockaded the road for about an hour, but then police managed to control the crowd," he said.
Metrorail spokesman, Lawrence Venkile, said there was a strong link between this incident, and the train crash on Thursday near Pretoria in which 200 people were injured, and the strike by the National Transport Movement (NTM).
"We are convinced it is no coincidence that these incidents occur in the middle of the strike," said Venkile.
The incident was the fifth to take place since the beginning of the strike. Copper cable theft was believed to be the "root cause" of the Pretoria incident according to a preliminary finding. When cables are stolen, the rail system's technology changes from automatic to manual. As a result of the theft, the automated signalling was off.
Prasa laid a charge against the leadership of the NTM on Saturday. The following day, a Labour Court judge restricted its activities.
Venkile said the strike had failed to garner support as only around 500 of the 13 600 employees of Prasa had been on strike.
"We have reliable information that the intention of the strikers, was to sabotage the rail operations set up to support the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon), as well as to engage in activities that would undermine the effective running of the commuter services."

East Thurrock 4
Bognor Regis Town 2
RYMAN PREMIER: EAST Thurrock battled back from the brink of relegation to secure a priceless victory and retain their Ryman Premier League status on the last day of the season.
The complicated make-up of the final day meant John Coventry's men needed to match or better Wingate & Finchley's result to stay up but, should they fail to do so, could still have avoided the drop if Evo-Stick side Frickley Athletic slipped up.
Vauxhall Motors resignation from the football pyramid meant one side in the third tier of the non-league would be given a reprieve.
However, victories for Frickley and Wingate & Finchley meant only a win would do for East Thurrock and that looked a long way away when they found themselves 2-0 down with 15 minutes on the clock.
Goals from Ben Johnson and Ollie Pearce after swift counter-attacks put second-placed Bognor in the driving seat but Coventry's men were not going down without a fight.
Rocks had hit the crossbar through the excellent Nick Symons in the aftermath of both away goals but failed to take advantage of a number of good openings.
They reduced arrears ten minutes before the break.
A deep cross found full-back Ryan Sammons at the far post and his driven cross was put in by David Bryant.
Rocks went into the break safe but only because Frickley were losing 170 miles up the road.
Desperate to put their fate back in their own hands, Rocks came out firing in the second half and equalised within seven minutes – Sam Higgins pulling back for Mitchell Gilbey to side-foot home.
Lewis Smith went close to giving the home side the lead before the crucial goal came.
Smith shot at goal from outside the box with keeper Grant Smith pushing the ball to Higgins, who was also denied. However, there was Gilbey again to smash into the unguarded net.
The stands were rocking and, although Gilbey missed a great chance for a hat-trick, the hosts completed the turnaround with ten minutes to go as Higgins hit his 13th goal since his return to confirm East Thurrock's Ryman Premier status.
Wingate & Finchley were relegated despite thumping Billericay Town 5-0 because of an inferior goal difference.
After the match John Coventry said his players deserved the crucial win.
"It's been a crazy season with so many highs and lows and not very much in between. We were so low after the first 45 and massively high in the second half.
"Saturday was all about us. The first 15 minutes we didn't have the confidence to use the ball. I don't know if Bognor relaxed but we got at them and we made good use of the ball.

Baghdad (Jun. 13)
The Jewish population in Yemen was in great panic today when posters alleging that Jews in Palestine have destroyed Moslem places of worship, suddenly appeared in many villages and townships in Yemen.
Spurred by these posters the Moslem population proclaimed a fast today and assembled in the Mosques to pray for the lives of the Arabs in Palestine and for the safety of Moslem institutions there. The tensity was reminiscent of the days when the anti-Jewish riots broke out in Palestine in 1929 when similar provocative rumors were spread among Arabs.
It has been established that the inciting posters had been imported from Palestine. There is no printing plant in Yemen where the posters could have been printed.

My in-laws got a pair of these patches loose in a batch of other things from an estate auction. They don't appear to have been torn off of anything, so I don't think they were previously sewn on. Possibly ironed-on. They sell a lot of antiques online and think they might be vintage military patches, but I am a 24 year Army vet and I don't think so. I appreciate any insight anyone can provide. Thanks!

StarTrek.com has interviewed Rick Berman, the man who took over running the Trek franchise for Gene Roddenberry (all hail, The Great Bird of the Galaxy!).
Oddly quiet since his departure from all things Trek, Mr. Berman seems to be ready to open up about his controversial reign leading Star Trek. (For example, was 7 of 9 really necessary? Did DS9 take things away from Gene's vision?)
And yes, folks, there's a memoir on the way. This should get folks good and riled! Mr. Berman gives us a preview in Parts 1 and 2, with Part 3 posting tomorrow.
Edit: Part 3 is posted!
