The city of Lafayette was founded by Mary Miller and her husband Lafayette Miller in 1888. They acquired farming land through the Homestead Act in 1871, but moved to Boulder in 1874 where Lafayette owned and operated a butcher shop. Upon his death in 1878 his wife and six children moved back to their initial farmland and discovered coal on their land in 1887. This brought in the era of coal mining. One year later, Mary allocated 150 acres to be set aside for the town of Lafayette, named for her late husband.
By 1914 Lafayette was leading the coal-mining industry and had become a city large enough to accommodate four hotels, two river banks, and brickworks. This industry survived two strikes and almost 40 years, but began to decline in the 1950s due to natural gas becoming prominent and replacing coal as a fuel. It was in this decade that present-day Lafayette defined itself. Its population grew alongside the populations of Denver and Boulder, and its farming industry became small industrial, commercial, and manufacturing.

Social Media: In one word it's been revolutionary for the way we communicate in today's world. The idea of Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and even Instagram were unheard of 15 years ago for ways to communicate our lives to one another. These social media outlets have allowed for out of the box thinking and innovation. The ability to network and meet people are probably two of the most powerful things gained from these social media outlets. It's created a need for companies to hire social media interns and strategists to help better their online presence. People do use direct mail still in an effective way. The difference is that now direct mail needs to be used much more strategically and in a highly-targeted way. A perfect example is what I do here as the social media and marketing intern for the College of Business. Throughout the first semester, our mission was to help make things more accessible to students on our social media outlets. Examples of this practice were bringing attention to guest speakers, athletics results, etc. We also run contests about the college to help reinforce school pride in the students, and to help them learn how they benefit from their education here. This helps reinforce the core values of the College of Business and helps out our students with studying for tests. Some other examples of our blog posts include first-hand accounts and tips for succeeding in classes such as UBUS 310, a nine-credit business course required for all business students.
One social media outlet I want to bring up that stands out to me personally the most is LinkedIn as it provides the most value to the students here at NIU. As a freshman business major, your first impression of the college is the name Dennis Barsema because the college is in Barsema Hall. But then very soon you learn more about Mr. Barsema. Mr. Barsema is an alumnus of NIU as well as an instructor in the Social Entrepreneurship field. In my own personal experience when connecting with him it's like being connected to over 500+ professionals and students. This in turn has many benefits for potential jobs and connecting with recruiters. I also use LinkedIn as a way to know my resume by completing all necessary requirements of obtaining an all-star profile. This helped me a great deal. Recently at the Internship Fair on campus, I felt very confident about my resume and talked comfortably with employers. I'm constantly looking for more ways to improve and seeing how others highlight things on their profile gives me great feedback to better set myself apart from the fold. The opportunity to make connections with people here at NIU, alums and professionals in the industry is something we didn't have 10 years ago. I'm grateful to Mr. Barsema for showing me the ways of LinkedIn and others along the way…I feel I'm ready to mentor others on how to use this great tool of networking.
As a start, here are two things you can do right away:
1. Talk with your favorite professor or advisor about tips for creating a LinkedIn account. 2. Contact me directly at (firstname.lastname@example.com) to learn more about how I created my account.

Kerry Kennedy and Ambien: A Common Med Mix (Up), Say Experts
Ex-wife of NY Gov. Cuomo is second Kennedy to crash with ambien in system.
July 26, 2012 -- Ambien is an FDA-approved medication that can put an insomniac to sleep in a matter of minutes at night. But when taken during the day, the little pill can cause slurred speech, blurred cognition and erratic behavior.
Zolpidem, a generic version of the drug, has now been implicated in a car crash two weeks ago, when Kerry Kennedy, the daughter of Robert F. Kennedy, swerved into a tractor-trailer on New York's Route 684 and kept driving. Witnesses said she had been weaving in and out of lanes for miles before the accident.
Toxicology reports showed 14 nanograms per milliliter of zolpidem in Kennedy's blood, according to the Associated Press. Both her blood and urine samples were negative for alcohol or other drugs.
"Ambien is a very bizarre drug," said Paul L. Doering, co-director of the Drug Information and Pharmacy Resource Center at the University of Florida. "It is only supposed to be taken as directed and is not intended to be taken during the day unless you are a shift worker.
"There is the sedative effect itself," said Doering. "You can be groggy, with slurred speech and not all there. That's why they call them sleeping meds."
And, when taken during the daytime, there is also a high risk for abuse, he said.
Kennedy, 52, is the seventh of the 11 children of Robert F. Kennedy and the ex-wife of New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo. She is a human rights activist and mother of three.
Police found Kennedy slumped in her white Lexus on the morning of July 13, according to Reuters. She was unsteady on her feet and slurring her words. Initially she told police she may have accidentally taken the sleeping aid earlier that day, mistaking it for her thyroid medication.
At a court appearance July 17, she pleaded not guilty to a charge of drunk driving and said the hospital where she was treated found no trace of drugs and doctors had suspected a brain seizure. She is due back in court Aug. 14.
In 2006, her cousin Patrick Kennedy, the former congressman from Rhode Island and the son of the late Sen. Edward Kennedy, was sent to alcohol and drug rehab, after crashing his car while on Ambien in Washington, D.C.
Ambien, or its generic cousin zolpidem, is a sedative-hypnotic that works by slowing activity in the brain, according to the National Institutes of Health. It is prescribed for those who have difficulty falling or staying asleep. It's meant to be taken immediately before bedtime and its effects last about seven to eight hours.
Sometimes patients can experience memory problems on awakening. Some have reportedly taken Ambien, left their bed and driven cars, prepared and eaten food, had sex or made phone calls while under the influence of the drug and not fully awake, according to theFood and Drug Administration.
The drug has a risk for anterior-grade amnesia, as well, according to Doering. "Memory never burns from RAM to ROM."
"The things that happen to a driver can be very scary," he said. "You are in a state where you are dreaming, but you are not quite sure whether you are awake or dreaming."
Drug Mix-Ups Are Common
Kennedy's statement that she may have mistakenly taken Ambien instead of her thyroid medicine is not far-fetched, according to experts.
New York City mother and writer Nancy Kruger Cohen wrote about the same mix-up in an article, "Mothers Little Helper," for the New York Times magazine in 2010. She said she begins each day with her gray thyroid tablet, but one day, while getting her two children ready for school, she grabbed the wrong prescription bottle.
"As the pill goes in, my tongue pauses -- Is it usually pink? -- but I swallow anyway. And then the mistake is clear," Cohen writes. "I have taken a sleeping pill at 8:15 a.m."
She describes a day of bedlam, one in which she texts her girlfriends, throws up over tea, crashes in bed and eventually spends the evening playing with her children, uncharacteristically oblivious to the mess and confusion. Her memory of the day is, of course, spotty.
Since 2000, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received more than 95,000 reports of medication errors -- some of them doctor or pharmacy mistakes, but many by consumers themselves.
"Chaos at home is a common denominator in a lot of accidental poisonings," Marcel J. Casavant, a toxicologist and medical director of the Central Ohio Poison Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, told ABCNews.com at the time.
"Kids may be playing, mom is fixing dinner, dad is getting in from work and grabbing mail or whatever dads do," he said. "But there's a lot going on, and someone decides it's time to administer medication."
At least half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug, with one in six taking three or more medications. The biggest increases in prescriptions were for antidepressants, nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs, and blood sugar and cholesterol lowering drugs, according to a 2004 Department of Health and Human Services report.
Casavant said his poison control center, one of three in Ohio, fields at least 100 calls a day, "a couple of dozen" of which are unintentional medication mix-ups. "We have a lot more chemicals and a lot more medicine these days."

Let's see... after last night's post, it was determined that I had to make yet another grocery run. I don't know what the deal was last night, but I just wanted to push really hard. I'm fat and out of shape. My lungs certainly are better off than they were two years ago, but as you can tell they're still in need of conditioning. Over short distances, I can lay it down pretty hard if I want to.
With the nearest grocery store just a little more than a mile away, I hit it really hard, and it felt good. I caught my breath while grabbing some items from the store, then hit it hard on my way back home, but not before I stopped in the parking lot to pick up a really nice, heavy duty bungee cord someone had left laying around. This also reminds me... I saw a VAULT DOOR for what looked like a small gun cabinet next to the dumpster at my apartment complex. I love locks, locksmithing, and that kind of stuff. No clue what the vault door was doing there, but it's obvious that someone had to partake in destructive entry. I forgot to pick it up last night. I'm only writing this here so I remember to go check it out this evening and see if it's still there. If so, I'll probably disassemble the door (it's usually easy from the inside) and get the lock to play with. Locks are like puzzles to me, and I am an amateur locksmith among other strange traits.
Enough rambling. This morning, you can imagine I was greeted with sore legs. Very sore legs. Although I stretched well last night both before and after laying the smack down on the pavement, I still have a lot of soreness. I took it easy on the way to the bus this morning. The ride happened to take me through two miles of fog so dense that it looked like mist in the sharp beam of my LED light. There was no hammering to be done. I averaged about 10 miles per hour this morning.
Coming off the Quivira Viaduct (where I kind of pushed it a little on the downhill) it was apparent that I was being tailgated by someone driving a PT cruiser. In no hurry and with an open lane to my left, I putzed along at maybe 12 MPH. Just cruising. It's a slight uphill. The driver remained glued to within 10 feet of me. As I approached the entrance to Circuit City, the driver finally decided to pass me. Now, I'm guessing this person was staying behind me because they needed the right lane. And there's only one reason you need the right lane when the left one is empty. It's because you want to turn. I slowed down more in anticipation. I was completely ready for what happened next, but it still cheeses me off. I got right-hooked by some old lady, hunched over her steering wheel. I had to turn with the PT cruiser to avoid broadsiding it because the driver slowed way, way down to turn. I rode along side it and pounded on the window. She screeched to a halt, startled and rolled down the window. I screamed at her, and she said she didn't see me.
I'm going to interject here. This is just insane. She didn't see me? Why was she pacing me? Does she just drive 12 MPH all the time? Why did she use the left lane to go around me? Does she always go into the left lane before making a right turn? Did she somehow miss 10 LEDs on the back of my bike, and two bright orange reflective strips? As she passed me, did she somehow miss half a kilo-lumen of photon energy in her passenger mirror?
Whatever. I told her to be more careful. She didn't apologize. She just drove off. Situational Awareness. I have it. Others don't. I'm conjuring up all kinds of mayhem which I could have wreaked upon car and driver in the moment, but chose not to. I'm talking air-hanky in the passenger window, Gatorade on the leather seats, and cleats meet paint kind of mayhem. Also, Kansas did just recently pass a Concealed Carry program. Not that I would stoop to the level of cage-ragers.
Ah well. I took a nap on the bus (I actually hate when I do this) and showed up to the coffee shop with Lorin to find JR waiting for us, and a new, unfamiliar bike next to the door. A dark navy frame with totally unfamiliar markings. Very thin stays and fork. Definitely steel. Likely custom. Black and purple bar tape. Racy looking, somewhat old school but not ye-olde school. This must be Andrew's bike. He comments here on occasion and had mentioned yesterday wanting to meet up with us. Now, because of various things that had happened last summer, I thought that I'd already met him, but I had not. Today was Andrew's maiden voyage for bike commuting, and he's starting off with a nice multi-mode setup riding from Prairie Village to Waldo, taking the bus to downtown, then riding some more to get up north.
So, our little bike commuter coffee clan had four members again. Bob dropped off the face of the earth back in September, so it's been a while since we've had four bikes outside of Starbucks all at the same time. It was nice running into Andrew. Hopefully bike commuting works out as well for him as it has for so many others.
This is a great time of year to get started commuting by bike in the great plains. As it warms up and gets lighter, things seem to get easier and nature tends to lend itself to longer and harder rides and the discovery of more interesting, possibly safer routes. It also gives you a good solid six months to get helplessly addicted to the habit of riding a bike damn near everywhere as you build your obsessions on all the wonders of the bicycle. Apertome also started about this same time last year. As it turns out, he became a pretty serious year-round bike commuter, even if his cow-orkers don't realize it. Maybe we've hooked another one.

App Store Set to hit Ten Billion Downloads…$10,000 Gift Card Waiting for One Lucky Winner
There's no denying that the driving force behind the iPhone's success has been in large part due to Apple's enormous App Store (who said size didn't matter?). First launched in July of 2008, it grew in number to a staggering 7 billion downloads last October. And a mere 3 months later, the 10 billion mark is about to be broken. To celebrate, Apple will be giving away a $10,000 iTunes Gift card to one lucky winner.
As of today, nearly 10 billion apps have been downloaded from the App Store worldwide. Which is almost as amazing as the apps themselves. So we want to say thanks. Download the 10 billionth app, and you could win a US $10,000 iTunes Gift Card. Just visit the App Store, and download what could be your best app yet.
Aside from purchasing apps, you can also enter the giveaway by submitting the Countdown Entry Form (limit of 25 entries today). So get on cracking and start downloading 'em apps. You never know if you'll be the 10 billionth app customer. If my math serves me right, that iTunes GC is good for 10,000 one dollar apps and 10 of the App Store's most expensive app, iVIP Black (aka the "Millionaire's App"), which comes in at a cool $999. Good luck to all!

7 Injured in Fresh Clashes in Indian Kashmir.
SRINAGAR | India | AP | 20 Jul 2013 :: Protesters clashed with government troops in several parts of Indian-controlled Kashmir for the second straight day Saturday, defying a curfew imposed to restrain public anger over the killing of four villagers in the disputed region.
Police officials, speaking on customary condition of anonymity, said that the protesters threw rocks, and that police and paramilitary forces used batons and tear gas and fired warning shots of live ammunition to control the crowds. Five protesters and 2 police officers were injured in the clashes.
At least 50 people were injured in similar clashes Friday.
The unrest follows the fatal shootings by government troops Thursday of four villagers who were protesting the alleged desecration of the Muslim holy book by border guards in a remote village in the region.
The protesters accuse the Indian Border Security Force of tearing pages of several copies of the Quran and beating a school caretaker at a religious seminary during a search for militants Wednesday night.
The paramilitary force has denied the charges.
Kashmir is divided between India and Pakistan, with both countries claiming the region in its entirety.
Anti-India feelings run deep in Indian-held Kashmir, where about a dozen rebel groups have been fighting against Indian rule since 1989. More than 68,000 people have been killed in the conflict.
The rebel groups have largely been suppressed by Indian troops in recent years, and resistance is now principally expressed through street protests.(Courtesy: abc News)

While James Harden isn't known for his defensive prowess, he showed off some slick moves on Friday (November 30) night. During the Houston Rockets 136-105 victory over the San Antonio Spurs, Harden was running down the court with DeMar DeRozan when DeRozan bumped Harden as he drove to the net for a lay-up.
Harden clearly did not appreciate the contact and swiped at the ball, knocking it out of DeRozan's hands, off his chest and out of bounds.
The reigning NBA MVP dropped 23 points and had 10 assists in the blowout win.
"We're a confident group that when we have all of our players and we've got a healthy roster we can compete with anybody in the league," Harden said after the game.

At 88 years old, Betty White's still spry enough to host "Saturday Night Live" and have a new hit TV show with "Hot In Cleveland" – so how does she do it?
"I go to bed about 1, 1:30 at night and I'm up at 6," Betty told Access Hollywood at the LA Zoo on Saturday, where she was honored for her decades of work with the zoo. "I don't need a lot of sleep and it's been that way all my life, so might as well not change it now."

Another factor may be her love for animals, which she called "the biggest part of my life."
"I don't know what [I'd] do without animals," she said. "That's why I've worked with the [LA[ Zoo for so long and with other animals organizations. I'm not into animal politics. I'm into animal well-being."

She's also as big a star as ever. "Hot In Cleveland" earned 4.75 million viewers for its premiere episode last week – a TV Land record — and Betty's hoping the ratings will hold.
"Let's hope it wasn't just sampling, let's hope people will come back next week," she said.
Though Betty honored her "The Proposal" co-star Sandra Bullock on stage at the MTV Movie Awards earlier this month (and snuck in a few zingers, too), the star admitted she hasn't met Sandra's new addition.

Title: Immigration: Alien Registration
CRS report number: RL31570
Author(s): Andorra Bruno, Domestic Social Policy Division
Date: January 6, 2004
- Abstract
- The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks called attention to the fact that the U.S. government is unaware of the addresses and whereabouts of many foreign nationals in the United States. In the aftermath of the attacks, Congress sought to improve the tracking of one subgroup of foreign nationals: temporary legal residents. To better track these temporary residents, also known as nonimmigrants, the 107th Congress revived efforts to implement an entry-exit control system and a system for monitoring foreign students. In addition, the Department of Homeland Security is using the registration provisions of the Immigration and Nationality Act to track foreign nationals in the United States. As detailed in this report, that act requires that most aliens in the United States for 30 days or longer be registered and notify the Attorney General of each change of address. The alien registration issue has also been considered to a limited extent in the 107th and 108th Congresses.

Recent SUNY Canton Alumni Appear in ATV 4-Wheel Action MagazineMonday, March 12th, 2012
North Country students used a course project to earn national recognition for innovation.
A SUNY Canton group project led to more national recognition for three recent Canino School of Engineering Technology graduates.
Joel R. Landry of Malone, Kyle C. Szelestey of Salisbury Mills, and Brandon M. Trimboli of Norwood (2011 graduates) are featured in the March edition of ATV 4-Wheel Action magazine for their reverse-engineered prototype ATV shock. The magazine is now available on newsstands.
"These three students demonstrated exceptional innovation and enthusiasm with their coursework," said SUNY Canton President Joseph L. Kennedy. "Our scholars have limitless potential within their class projects, coupled with the wisdom and experience of our faculty. Kyle, Joel and Brandon's creativity is an inspiration to current and prospective students."
Greg Hall, the magazine's technical editor, wrote "How College Kids made their Own ATV Parts" following an interview with all three students. The two-page spread includes photos of the students in the SUNY Canton Mechanical Engineering Technology Lab with their prototype shock and computer renderings of their design.
Hall also offers readers a detailed description of the state-of-the art Dimension printer the students used to create each individual piece of their prototype.
"The team previously displayed their project in the College's Scholarly Activities Celebration and were top-10 finalists in a national competition sponsored by Dimension Printers," said Daniel J. Miller, an assistant professor and mechanical engineering technology program director. "The Dimension Printer is ideal for students to prototype their unique designs and avoid costly and time-consuming production. It gives our students a clear advantage when they move from design to production."
The project took shape in 2010 in a computer-assisted design (CAD) course as part of their mechanical engineering technology program. One of their friends brought a broken Honda 400EX shock to class, and the team saw it as a chance to advance the overall design of the broken part. They took the class project beyond the design phase and printed a three-dimensional scale reproduction in plastic to make a working model of the innovative shock.
All three students benefitted from this project, past the national recognition of their invention. Szelestey and Trimboli are continuing their studies at RIT. Landry started a career making CAD product designs, similar to the ones used to create the prototype shock.
Prior to the ATV 4-Wheel Action article, the team of future engineers and the College's Dimension Printer were highlighted in The Watertown Daily Times.
For previous details on the students and their project, read the March 24, 2011 article "SUNY Canton Mechanical Engineering Technology Students Create Shock Value"

FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - Spc. Chris Allen grabbed his 17-month-old son, Colson, hugged his wife, Kristin, and celebrated returning to Fort Campbell on Wednesday after six months in Afghanistan. But an undercurrent of sadness filtered through the joy of the moment: The end of the six-month deployment for Allen and about 140 other soldiers with the fabled "Band of Brothers" brigade also augured the end of their days together as a unit.
"It sucks," Allen, of Lockhart, Texas, told The Associated Press. "I don't want to go to a different unit."
The 4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, also known as the Currahees, is one of 10 brigade combat teams that the Army will shut down between now and 2015.
The Army announced Monday that the shutdown process for those teams would speed up, with budget cuts forcing the military to decommission units by 2015 instead of 2017 as originally planned.
The inactivation of the 4th Brigade Combat Team, which became famous in a book by historian Stephen Ambrose and a subsequent HBO miniseries produced by Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, is set to take place in the spring, but no official date has been set.
The Army plans to reduce the size of its fighting force from a high of about 570,000 at the peak of the Iraq war to 490,000 - a reflection of budget cuts and of the country's current military needs as wars in Iraq and Afghanistan end.
Family members waved homemade signs and screamed out as the soldiers stepped off the plane. Once inside a nearby hangar, joyful reunions were everywhere. Hands were held, kisses exchanged, children who had learned to walk or talk while their fathers and mothers were overseas drank in the adults they hadn't seen in a quarter to half their lifetimes.
Dee Dee Brinkley, of San Diego, Calif., wore a button picturing her son, Spc. Eric Brinkley, who worked on unmanned aerial vehicles in Afghanistan. Eric Brinkley initially intended to join the Marines, but was turned down because of the tattoos on his arms. Instead, he joined the Army, a move his mother sees as working out well because it kept him on an airfield and out of the most dangerous areas of Afghanistan.
"We still worried," Dee Dee Brinkley said. "But he was in the middle of the airfield most of the time, so we could worry a little less."
Fort Campbell spokesman Bob Jenkins said the reorganization will affect about 3,500 soldiers and their families. Of that group, about 320 soldiers will be reassigned somewhere other than Fort Campbell while the rest will get new positions elsewhere at the sprawling military post on the Kentucky-Tennessee state line, Jenkins said.
"This is a pretty big thing because it's part of the `Band of Brothers,'" Jenkins said. "In some cases, it will help commanders better complete their missions."
Spc. Gil Barreto of Puerto Rico knows the history of his unit. While he's glad to be home, he'll hate to see the 4th Brigade Combat Team disappear.
"It's sad," said Barreto, who played with his 18-month-old son of the same name. "Our brigade has a history, so this is going to be a loss."
The brigade traces its lineage to the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, created in 1942, at Camp Toccoa, Ga.
The 506th was among several parachute regiments created to sneak behind enemy lines in the war. Nicknamed "Currahee," which is a Native American Cherokee term for "stands alone," the regiment parachuted into Normandy during the D-Day invasion in 1944 and then later parachuted into Holland. The regiment raced to liberate Europe amid bouts of fierce fighting in Bastogne, Belgium, and then overran Hitler's famed "Eagle's Nest" in Germany.
Ambrose's book came out in 1992, igniting public interest in the regiment. The HBO miniseries about the men of Easy Company won national acclaim, and followed the soldiers from paratrooper training through D-Day and the end of the war.

If you've ever longed for a new Chevy Corvette semi-permanently tattooed stem-to-stern with Sharpies to resemble Fred Durst's forearms, your wish has been granted by someone in the greater Indianapolis area. I am Jake's mid-life crisis.
Caught by a Jalopnik reader on July 4th, the tribal-emblazoned 'Vette was chillin' outside a Value City furniture store. To those who think this pinstriping-gone-wild was permanent, the passer-by was so gobsmacked he had to walk up and touch it, and "It rubbed off a little." Did you do that on your last visit to the Louvre, heathen?
Depending on the age and specific variety of permanent marker, this Corvette is either a simple cotton-ball and denatured alcohol bath away from normalcy, or will need the professional guidance of Mr. Scheib's guild to be restored. But let's be somewhat fair: unlike Dragon Vette, this customization took some considerable freehand skill.
This car does share one thing with Dragon Vette: Indiana residency. Are Hoosiers still so upset over the Pistons moving from Fort Wayne to Detroit in 1957 that they deface Corvettes in protest?
Hat tip to Drew!

Nine members of the "Hutaree," a radical-right Christian militia organization, are charged with conspiring to kill police officers and wage war against the US. The FBI has arrested the nine members—eight men and one women—from locations throughout the Midwest, and are still searching for a tenth member, and charge them with "seditious conspiracy" and other crimes. The FBI alleges that the Hutaree members planned to kill a police officer in Michigan and then stage a second attack on the funeral, using landmines and roadside bombs or IEDs (improvised explosive devices). The arrests come after an 18-month investigation and a series of FBI raids on properties in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, after concluding that the group was planning a reconnaissance exercise. Attorney General Eric Holder says: "The indictment… outlines an insidious plan by anti-government extremists to murder a law enforcement officer in order to lure police from across the nation to the funeral where they would be attacked with explosive devices. Thankfully, this alleged plot has been thwarted and a severe blow has been dealt to a dangerous organisation that today stands accused of conspiring to levy war against the United States." (CNN 3/28/2010; Buchanan 3/29/2010; BBC 3/30/2010; Isikoff and Hosenball 4/12/2010) The nine arrested are David Brian Stone of Clayton, Michigan, the leader of the group; David Brian Stone Jr. of Adrian, Michigan; Joshua Matthew Stone of Clayton; Tina Mae Stone of Clayton; Joshua John Clough of Blissfield, Michigan; Michael David Meeks of Manchester, Michigan; Kristopher T. Sickles of Sandusky, Ohio; Jacob J. Ward of Huron, Ohio; and Thomas W. Piatek of Hammond, Indiana. The FBI recovers 46 guns, two .50-caliber rifles, and 13,000 rounds of ammunition from Piatek's home. All are denied bail in federal court. (Indiana Post-Tribune 4/4/2010)
FBI Alerted of 'Trouble' in 2009 - The indictment cites "a cooperating witness and an undercover FBI agent"; the Detroit News reports that one of the nine defendants, through her lawyer, says she believes a member of another militia group reported the Hutaree's plans to the FBI. (Guarino 3/31/2010) It will later emerge that in 2009, residents of Adrian, Michigan, contacted the FBI over their concerns that Stone was planning something violent. Even local militia members were worried, and one militia member decided to infiltrate the group on behalf of the FBI. In the fall of 2009, the FBI learned that the Hutarees were building bombs, and the bureau sent its own undercover agent inside the group. The undercover agent actually offered to make the bombs; senior FBI agent Andrew Arena says that the benefit of that offer was in placing the FBI in charge of the explosives. "We were very fortunate to be able to insert an individual who was able to kind of take that role," Arena says. "It certainly let me sleep a little better at night." The agent went to meetings with surveillance devices to make audio recordings of the proceedings, and taped a February 2010 conversation in which Stone declared that he was sure local police "would fight right alongside some Chinese trooper. Heck, yeah. It's all about power. It's about the authority. They see us as the little people." Stone and the other members of his group believe that the US government is planning on using foreign troops to impose martial law and tyranny on American citizens. During the same conversation, in which Stone read a speech he planned to give at an upcoming militia gathering in Kentucky, Stone said: "Now, we need to quit playing this game with these elitist terrorists and actually get serious, because this war will come whether we are ready or not. A war of this magnitude will not be easy. But like the rattlesnake on the Gadsden flag, we have rattled and warned the new world order (see September 11, 1990). Now it's time to strike and take our nation back." Arena says that while Stone has the constitutional right to say such things, "when you start taking action towards that government," a citizen crosses the line into conspiracy to commit a crime. "In this case, we're defining it as they started to plan how they were going to ignite the war." When another Hutaree member asked for the help of a local militia headed by David Servino in building bombs and planning attacks, Servino says, "[w]e talked about it, and we decided as a group to go to the State Police Department—this local here—and talk to them, tell them what little information we had." A day after Servino's group informed the state police, the FBI began making its arrests. (Norris 4/12/2010)
Extremist, Violent Ideology - A Hutaree Web site shows video footage of military-style training exercises and describes the members as "Christian warriors." The site tells visitors that the Hutaree are preparing to defend themselves upon the arrival of the Antichrist, "for the end time battles to keep the testimony of Jesus Christ alive.… The Hutaree will one day see its enemy and meet him on the battlefield if so God wills it." The FBI describes the Hutaree as an "anti-government extremist organization" advocating violence against the police in its indictment of the members; the group perceives the police as an arm of the US government (CNN 3/28/2010; Buchanan 3/29/2010; BBC 3/30/2010) , which it calls ZOG—the "Zionist Occupied Government." There is some dispute in the media as to the origin of the name "Hutaree." One source believes it may originate from the word "Hutriel," which translates to "rod of God." Hutriel is one of the seven angels of punishment and helps in the "punishment of the 10 nations," according to tradition. (Basil and Spice (.com) 4/6/2010) They label the police "the Brotherhood." According to the Michigan Hutaree theology, which they call "the doctrine of the Hutaree," former NATO Secretary-General Javier Solana is the Antichrist. The Hutaree's exalted commander is called a "radok"; deputies and lieutenants are known as "boromanders" and "zulifs." (Isikoff and Hosenball 4/12/2010) Stone's ex-fiancee, Andrea March, recalls Stone as a "Ron Paul fanatic," referring to Ron Paul (R-TX) the libertarian House member whom many see as an ideological "father" of many "tea party" organizations. Appearing on Fox News, March tells an interviewer that Stone is a fanatical Paul supporter who feared that President Obama intended to take away his guns. "When Obama took the presidency is when he lost it because he was a Ron Paul fanatic," she says. Asked what Paul has to do with Stone's thinking and actions, she replies: "To tell you the truth I don't know. I never really understood why Ron Paul was so much different, but [Stone] thought he could get away with anything and he wanted more freedoms than what he had and he was trying to do it through the violence.… [H]e clearly believed in guns and having them and he didn't think. He didn't want to have a driver's license, he didn't want to fill out any census papers. He wanted to own guns unregistered." (Amato 3/30/2010)
Leader, Group Well Known for Violent Expressions - The group leader, Stone, is called "Captain Hutaree" by his colleagues, or, cryptically, "RD." The indictment names Stone as the "principal leader" of the organization. According to media reports, Stone has a strong affinity for the most violent of the far-right fringes of the American militia movement. His first wife, Donna Stone, tells reporters she left him because he "got carried away." Federal authorities say that he researched how to build IEDs and roadside bombs on the Internet, and emailed diagrams of the devices to someone he believed could actually build such devices. And one neighbor, Phyllis Bruger, says she and others learned not to "mess with" Stone and his group. They liked to conduct "military exercises" and shoot guns, usually wearing camouflage outfits. "Everybody knew they were militia," she says. Donna Stone tells reporters: "It started out as a Christian thing. You go to church. You pray. You take care of your family. I think David started to take it a little too far. He dragged a lot of people with him. When he got carried away, when he went from handguns to big guns, I was done." Her son, Joshua Stone, who was adopted by David Stone, was arrested with David Stone after helping him gather materials necessary for making the bombs. Donna Stone adds: "He dragged a lot of innocent people down with him. It started to get worse when they were talking about the world's gonna end in the Bible." The indictment says, "Stone taught other Hutaree members how to make and use explosive devices intending or knowing that the information would be used to further a crime of violence."
Too Far for Other Militia Groups - Other militia organizations in Michigan kept their distance from the local Hutaree, says Jim Gulliksen of the Lenawee Volunteer Michigan Militia (the same group that Servino founded and that informed police of the Hutaree plot). "I've met him," Gulliksen says. "He's an opinionated man who likes to share those opinions. The Hutaree is a nationwide group, but I have met a couple of the members here, and I can say they all belong to one specific church. Our concern is the protection of our nation. Religion appears to be a big part of what they are doing." Heidi Beirich of the Southern Poverty Law Center says the SPLC is aware of two Hutaree chapters, one in Utah and Stone's chapter in Michigan. She notes Hutaree has more than 350 friends on its MySpace page, dozens of whom are members of other militias, and says that Stone was planning to attend a summit in Kentucky with other militias next month. "Hutaree is not an isolated crew," she notes. Beinrich says that Stone and his colleagues see "the end of times" occurring today: "They have extreme antigovernment beliefs. They have rage and hatred for the federal government. They fear being put in FEMA concentration camps. They're really paramilitary organizations." (Buchanan 3/29/2010) William Flatt, a founder of the Indiana Militia, is also aware of Stone and the Hutaree. He is not surprised at the arrests. "We had a strong suspicion that groups like this would be getting some rather substantial bad press fairly quickly," Flatt tells a reporter. Flatt says that unlike the Hutaree, his and most militia groups support and defend the US Constitution. "The whole militia movement is supposed to be a goal-line defense against tyranny," Flatt says. "If all else fails, the people still have the means to shoehorn [the government] back into the constitutional mold." The Michigan Hutaree's plans to kill police officers, Flatt says, is abhorrent to his group, and he warns that it is a mistake to lump all American militias in with extremist, violent groups such as Stone's. Flatt disliked Stone's views, which he says focus on his interpretation of Christianity and also express bigotry against others. However, he is skeptical of the charges against some of Stone's followers. "The charges they're putting out there, it only ends one way," he says. "You might as well put yourself in the Alamo; nobody wants to do that." (Indiana Post-Tribune 4/4/2010) Arena says that while Stone's group might have considered itself a part of a larger, sympathetic coterie of like-minded organizations, it was mistaken. "These guys may have felt in their mind that they were a part of this brotherhood," he says. "The reality is I don't think they've got a whole lot of support." (Householder 4/2/2010)
Lawyer Insists No Crime Committed - Stone's lawyer, William Swor, says there is no evidence the group ever took steps to implement any of the alleged plots. Instead, he says, the group is being persecuted over the exercise of constitutionally protected speech. "This is still America and people can say whatever they want," he says.

In France some 100 km south of Bordeaux, farmer Jean Claude Briest is the happy owner of one of the largest pivot irrigation system in Europe, and possibly in the world. The irrigation system is simply huge, irrigating his cornfield in an enormous 2 km diameter circle - with the help of innovative pump technology from Grundfos. A spectacular show can be watched when the large pivot irrigator sprays water from its
700 nozzles.
When the corn is harvested in the autumn, another interesting event takes place. Bird lovers from all over France travel to the cornfield to watch storks gathered there for a free meal before the long journey to northern Africa for the winter.
The Situation
The cornfield in Bordeaux covers an area of 310 ha land. Due to scarce precipitation from early April through to August, the field needs to be irrigated every third day to yield maximum output.
The exceptional task of covering this large area with water on a regular basis required an exceptional solution.
In 1997, the French company Otech with headquarters in Puyoo, France was contracted to undertake design and manufacture of pivot irrigation system. The project constituted a real challenge, as no irrigation specialist in the local area had ever dimensioned and produced such a large-scale pivot irrigation system before.
The system was designed from scratch and successfully installed and commissioned some two years later by Otech 40, a member of the Otech Group.
The Grundfos Solution
The pivot irrigation system is designed as a double pivot which means that it has two centre pivots pointing in opposite directions, each with a length of an impressive 965 m. The irrigation system is fed with ground water from 54 Grundfos SP submersible pumps. The SP pumps deliver around 300,000 m3 of water annually to the 70 nozzles of the pivots. It takes six days for the pivot to travel one full round and during that time, the other pivot is passing so that the crops are watered every third day.
Reliable pumps and a reliable partnership were important
parameters when opting for Grundfos SP submersible pumps for the pivot irrigation system. The SP pumps are ideal for irrigation as they are made exclusively of corrosion resistant stainless steel components, thus offering high resistance to abrasives and corrosive agents.
The Outcome
The outcome speaks for itself. The pivot irrigation system works tirelessly and flawlessly in the cornfield, delivering water to the crops day in and day out thanks to the reliable and trouble-free operation of the Grundfos SP submersible pumps.
Mr. Sylvain Giroult of Otech 40 chose Grundfos pumps for the job, because many years of partnership with Grundfos have convinced him that both service and support are in safe hands.

What is Abraham House?
Founded in 1993, Abraham House provides a holistic, family-based program of services to offenders and their families, and other families who struggle to cope with poverty, violence, crime, and lack of essential services.
Located in the Mott Haven neighborhood of the South Bronx, Abraham House works with the Courts to offer first-time offenders an Alternative to Incarceration -- a home where they can turn around their lives and learn to become responsible citizens. At the same time, Abraham House provides their families, and other families from Mott Haven, with crisis management, counseling and referrals through its Family and Pastoral Center. This program offers a place of community and hope to those who feel isolated and overwhelmed. Eligible children attend Abraham House's After School Program, which provides a quality academic program and a safe haven during the hours when they may be unsupervised and most risky behavior takes place. The objective of all activities is to strengthen families and the larger community -- a community which has been described as a pipeline to prison -- so that opportunities to break the cycle of incarceration occur at many points.
Although founded by a French worker priest and Belgian nuns, the program is non-denominational and open to all. The minimum requirement is to be a human being, to be able to relate to others and to have a capacity for trust.

The trademark orange-and-blue uniforms worn by the Hope College football team will be tucked away on Saturday (Oct. 23) as the Flying Dutchmen don purple jerseys for their MIAA game against the Adrian Bulldogs.
The "Purple Game for Cancer Research" will kick off from Holland Municipal Stadium at 1 p.m.
The entire Hope team of more than 125 players will be wearing purple jerseys to celebrate cancer survivors as they play to win and raise money for a cure.
"Cancer has affected my personal family as well as our Hope College football family," coach Dean Kreps said.
"This "Purple Game for Cancer Awareness" has taken on significant meaning for all of our coaches and players. I lost my mother to cancer during the 2000 season and have always wanted to do something like this. My brother's wife is a breast cancer survivor. I lost a grandfather and a grandmother to cancer.
"This disease has reared it's ugly head again this year. Three of our current players have lost parents THIS year to cancer. We have at least two more parents of current players battling cancer right now. So many of our players have been affected by having close relatives with cancer. This is a great way for me and our entire team to give something back to the community."
All proceeds from the sale of purple jerseys and other fund raising initiatives will go directly to cancer research at the Van Andel Institute in Grand Rapids.
As an alumnus, it is especially meaningful to me that the Hope College football team is bringing the community together to help Van Andel Institute fight cancer," said David Van Andel, chairman and CEO of the Van Andel Institute. "I want to thank all involved for supporting Community for a Cure and I hope that this event will give people an opportunity to both celebrate and remember loved ones who have struggled with this devastating disease."
"The fact that 100% of all proceeds will go to the Van Andel Research Institute is important to us. We are very happy to keep the money in our area supporting the great work that VARI does," said Kreps.
The response to this initiative has been overwhelming with more than 250 purple jerseys purchased by family and friends of Hope players, according to Kreps.
Two other Hope teams will be sponsoring cancer awareness activities this weekend. The volleyball and women's soccer teams will "Dig and Kick for a Cure to Help Hope Win!" in the battle against cancer. Their's will be in honor of women's tennis coach Karen Page who died in July after battling cancer for several years.
The volleyball team will host Albion on Friday night (6:30 p.m.) on the main court of the DeVos Fieldhouse and the women's soccer team will entertain Albion on Saturday afternoon (noon) at Van Andel Soccer Stadium.

Proposed tobacco settlement excludes Black media
George E. Curry | 1/16/2014, midnight
The judge prohibited the companies from committing similar acts going forward and ordered them to make "corrective statements" about the lies they had told about the dangers of smoking.
Kessler's ruling was unanimously upheld March 22, 2009 by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. On June 28, 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to accept an appeal.
Carefully-crafted "corrective statements" that include the wording, placement and timing of TV commercials and the content, type and size of fonts to be used in newspaper ads were covered in the agreement reached Friday. The statements will acknowledge that the advertising is being done under court order and that companies had misled the public on the health effects of smoking, the addictiveness of smoking and nicotine and the health effects of secondhand smoke.
The companies will also admit that they falsely sold and advertised low-tar and light cigarettes as less harmful than regular cigarettes and designed cigarettes to enhance the delivery of nicotine.
Under the agreement, each company will decide whether to place commercials on CBS, ABC or NBC.
"The TV spots will run a total of five times per week, subject to the availability of network time and upon approval of the network(s) on which the spots will air," the agreement stipulates. "The five TV spots to be run each week will be run by each defendant at its choice between 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. in the time zone in which the spot airs, between Monday and Thursday for one year."
In the event the desired time slot is unavailable, the companies must continue to purchase spots until they have run the corrective statements at least 50 times and have aired a total of 260 spots.
For newspapers, the tobacco companies are required to purchase a full-page ad in the first section of the Sunday edition of each newspaper. Each ad will contain one of the five corrective statements in their entirety. The companies are also required to advertise on the newspapers' web sites. Those same requirements will run in Spanish in Spanish-language newspapers.
The ads and commercials will state, "A Federal Court has ruled that Altria, R.J. Reynolds Tobacco, Lorillard, and Philip Morris USA deliberately deceived the American public and has ordered those companies to make these statements. Here is the truth:" Texts, of the corrective statements will then be provided.
Under Judge Kessler's 2006 order, ads will be placed in the following newspapers: Atlanta Journal Constitution, Boston Globe, Boston Herald, Charlotte Observer, Chicago Sun Times, Chicago Tribune, Dallas Morning News, Florida Times Union, Fresno Bee, Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, Houston Chronicle, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, New York Daily News, New York Post, New York Sun, New York Times, Orlando Sentinel, Palm Beach Post, Philadelphia Inquirer, Richmond Times-Dispatch, Sacramento Bee, San Diego Union-Tribune, San Francisco Chronicle, St. Petersburg Times, Tallahassee Democrat, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, LA Eastern Group Publications, San Francisco La Oferta Review/El Vistaz-Combo, NAHP, Chicago Lawndale Group News and NAHP Houston – Que Onda!

As Americans line up for flu shots, they should consider that the vaccines may be far less effective than thought, according to a new study.
Michael Osterholm, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Minnesota, and his colleagues found that the most common flu vaccine in the United States is effective for 59 per cent of healthy adults, well below the 70 per cent to 90 per cent level previously reported.
"We're stuck with a vaccine that has been around for 60 years and not changed much," Osterholm said in recorded remarks. He stressed the need for a new generation of flu shots, particularly in the face of a future pandemic.
There is also a lack of information about how well the vaccine works in children and in adults over the age of 65, he said. These two groups are most at risk from flu-related illness or death.
US health officials recommend that all Americans over six months of age get a flu shot. Nearly 131 million people, or 43 per cent of the US population, received the influenza vaccine last season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Sanofi, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, the AstraZeneca unit MedImmune, and CSL make vaccines for the US market.
While Osterholm does not dispute the need for the current vaccines, he said the common perception that they are "good enough" hinders the development of novel therapies.
In a study published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal, Osterholm and colleagues screened 5,707 vaccine studies published in the last 40 years.
They narrowed their analysis to 31 studies that tested for the presence of flu in laboratory tests rather than counting an increase in flu antibodies -- a faster method but one that researchers say tends to overestimate the vaccine's efficacy.
They also limited results to those that used randomized controlled trials or other observational methods that did not have "selection bias," which could lead to sicker people getting excluded from the study.
A meta-analysis of the 31 studies also showed that a newer type of vaccine that uses a live virus was 83 per cent effective in protecting children between six months and seven years old.
However, this type of vaccine, which is made by MedImmune, is not currently recommended as the best treatment for children by the CDC group that decides immunization practices in the United States, the study's authors said.
The Lancet study was published ahead of a meeting of this group on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON - Fears that the US might ban imports of orange juice from Brazil drove orange juice futures to an all-time high on Tuesday as health regulators began testing all incoming shipments for traces of an illegal fungicide called carbendazim.
According to the Food and Drug Administration, a US juice producer had detected low levels of carbendazim in orange juice concentrate imported from Brazil, the top grower accounting for more than 10 per cent of the US supply.
The pesticide is banned in US citrus but it is used on orange trees in Brazil to fight mold. The FDA said low levels of carbendazim were not dangerous and the agency had no plans for a recall, but it would stop any shipments of orange juice at the border that tested positive for the fungicide.
Orange juice futures jumped almost 11 per cent to an all-time high on the news, which was announced by the FDA in a letter to the Juice Products Association on Monday. The orange juice market is particularly prone to volatility because of its tiny size compared to oil and other major commodities.
It was not immediately clear whether there would be a related increase in orange juice prices for consumers, as that would depend on how long futures stay high and whether this results in a shortage of orange juice shipments into the United States.
Brands such as Tropicana, from PepsiCo Inc, and Minute Maid, from Coca-Cola Co, may use a mix of juices sourced from Brazil and the United States.
"Obviously food safety issues are probably going to play a bigger and bigger role in driving food or commodity prices in the future," said Ray Royce, executive director of the Highlands County Citrus Growers Association in central Florida.
He said the spike in orange juice futures was a double-edged sword for Florida growers, even as higher prices generally translate into richer profits for them.
"There might be concerns in some consumers' minds about there being chemicals within the juice. I think that could almost counter-balance the increase in futures prices and subsequent returns to Florida growers," said Royce.
Legal in Brazil
Carbendazim is legal in Brazil, where it has been used for more than two decades to fight blossom blight and black spot, a type of mold that grows on orange trees.
Christian Lohbauer, spokesman for CitrusBR, the association that represents Brazil's four main orange juice producers, said Brazilian orange juice is routinely tested for this fungicide, but has never been stopped by US customs over this issue.
"Any shipment (of orange juice) will test positive," he said. "I don't know what is the level that they will decide is the maximum level. Our interest now is that juice keeps entering the United States."
The FDA could not immediately comment on what level of carbendazim would be acceptable, but said any levels below 10 parts per billion were not detectable and thus would be allowed. The agency is testing orange juice shipments from all countries, not just Brazil.
The Environmental Protection Agency, which regulates fungicides in the United States, conducted an initial risk assessment for the chemical and found it does not raise safety concerns.
"EPA's scientific analysis concludes that no adverse health effects will occur at the reported levels in orange juice, which are thousands of times below levels where adverse health effects may occur," an EPA spokesman said in an email.
The EPA considers several thousand parts per billion to be a health risk. The levels of the fungicide reported two weeks ago by a juice company were below that level, the FDA said. It declined to identify the company.
The FDA said in an email to Reuters that much of the orange juice tested by the company did not have detectable levels of carbendazim. For those that did, the levels were between 10 and 35 parts per billion. The EPA said these levels are 1,000 to 3,000 times lower than levels that would be a health concern.
The US allows trace amounts of the fungicide in 31 food types, including grains, nuts and some non-citrus fruits. Carbendazim was approved for citrus in Florida from 2002 to 2008, but other alternatives became available after that time.
Regulators in the dark
Total frozen and fresh orange juice imports in 2010 came to nearly 1 billion liters, according to US International Trade Commission data. Of that almost half, about 460 million liters, came from Brazil, with Mexico supplying about a third.
In the last year or two, when orange juice costs have gone up, major producers have passed the costs on to retailers and consumers, said John Sicher, editor and publisher of Beverage Digest. But he said it was not yet clear what impact higher futures prices will have on orange juice producers' costs.
Coca-Cola spokesman Dan Schafer referred queries to the Juice Products Association, which said it was cooperating with the FDA "to assure the continued safety and quality of juice products."
PepsiCo had no comment. Kroger Co, the biggest US supermarket chain, said it was not removing orange juice from shelves, and added that it does not have any Brazilian juice under its brand.
Patty Lovera, assistant director of consumer group Food and Water Watch, said the FDA does not have a good system for tracking chemical residues in food, as it often focuses testing on common food-borne pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli.
Last year, the FDA investigated arsenic in apple juice after reports from other consumer groups, but said it found only low levels of the substance.
While fruit and vegetable imports into the United States have grown to almost half of the US food supply, FDA has said.
But, Lovera and other consumer groups claim that FDA's staff of inspectors has shrunk, meaning the agency often only has enough time to test about two per cent of products.
"We don't have a comprehensive system when it comes to imports. It's often reactive, it's not proactive," Lovera said. "We're kind of in the dark about what's happening."
Carbendazim is currently only approved in the United States as a fungicide to treat non-food items such as paints, textiles and ornamental trees. But another legal fungicide, thiophanate-methyl, can break down into carbendazim after it is applied.
Kathryn Gilje, co-director of the Pesticide Action Network, said the fungicide is a possible carcinogen and can disrupt human hormone systems even at low levels of exposure.
Michael Hansen, chief scientist at Consumers Union, said carbendazim was also an aneugen, meaning it interferes with cell division and can cause mutations. Australia banned the substance for most uses in 2010. The World Health Organization has said risks are high only if large doses are ingested.

Clint Bowyer: 'Getting back to our consistency' ahead of next round
After entering Saturday's Cup race at Bristol in the final transfer spot to the Round of 12, Clint Bowyer can rest easy for now.
Bowyer is one of the 12 drivers left to fight for the Cup title after his sixth-place finish Saturday. He goes into next weekend's race at Las Vegas 11th in the standings.
Now, Bowyer says it's time for his No. 14 team to "live up to our capabilities."
"I just feel comfortable, we're getting back to our consistency," Bowyer said Saturday night. "I guess for a long time in my career I was kind of Steady Eddie, and that's what it takes in these playoffs, to go the rounds, you can't make mistakes. I said that going into these playoffs. For our team, we've got to live up to our capabilities, and if we can do that and race to our capabilities and not make the mistakes we were making through the summer months, we can contend and move forward rounds in this playoff system, and that's what we're doing."
Bowyer, who was the last driver to finish on the lead lap at Bristol, goes to Las Vegas with three consecutive top 10s to start the playoffs.
Before the playoffs opened, he had gone 11 races with just two top 10s.
"Looking forward to getting out to Sin City and having some fun out there," Bowyer said. "Hopefully we can double down, get some stage points and continue to march forward up through this playoff system and the points. We're definitely starting behind again, there's no question about that."
Bowyer will start the second round with 3,004 points, tied with Kyle Busch. Kurt Busch is 12th with 3,001 points.

"We've got to get out there and swing for the fence," Bowyer said. "These are the playoffs; you don't base hit it. Steady Eddie got us through this round, but from here on you've got to get up to the plate and swing for the fence every time, and every decision, and that's in the car and out of the car, we've got to lay it on the line and go for it, and that's why these playoffs are fun.
Bowyer has just one top-five finish in 17 Las Vegas starts (2009) and the most recent of his four top 10s there came in 2017.
Then comes the "crapshoot" know as Talladega and the "fun" Charlotte Roval.
"I like it. I'm ready," Bowyer said. "Things can happen. At the end of the day I've had a different approach to the whole thing this year. This whole damned year has been chaotic and everything else, and you've just got to go out there and do the best you can do and not worry about or panic about anything else. That's all you can do anyway."
Bristol winners and losers
Kevin Harvick — Only two drivers in the last quarter century have won 10 Cup races in a season (Jimmie Johnson in 2007 and Jeff Gordon in 1996-98). Harvick's win at Bristol marked his career-high ninth of the season. He appears headed to join that elite class.
Austin Dillon — His 12th-place finish wasn't memorable but it was good enough to advance to the second round of the playoffs. He had failed to transfer from the first round the last two times he was in the playoffs.
Kyle Busch — Finished second, scoring top-10 finishes in all three first-round playoff races. It's the first time this season he has had three consecutive top 10s. Still, a frustrated Busch was critical of competitors and his playoff hopes.
Erik Jones — His third-place finish matches his best of the season. Result came after he had to start at the rear for inspection issues (just as Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin also had to do so).
Michael McDowell — His 10th-place finish is his fourth top 10 of the season. That equals how many top 10s he scored from 2017-19.
Chase Briscoe — He won the Xfinity race Saturday at Bristol for his seventh victory of the season.
Sam Mayer — The 17-year-old won his first career Truck race and followed it a few hours later by winning the ARCA race at Bristol.
Ryan Blaney — Failed to advance to the second round, a round where he could be among the favorites to win a race. He was in position to win at Las Vegas in the spring before being called to pit before the overtime restart and losing the lead. He's won the past two Talladega races, including last year's playoff race there. He won the inaugural Charlotte Roval in 2018. What might have been. But a 10-point penalty for an inspection issue at Darlington and struggles there and at Richmond doomed him.
William Byron — His playoffs ended with contact before the halfway mark.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — Contact with Jimmie Johnson sent him into the wall. Stenhouse finished last. It is the third time he's finished 40th this season.
Kevin Harvick wins Bristol night race
Kevin Harvick held off Kyle Busch to win Saturday's Cup night race at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Harvick came out on top after a spirited battle with Busch over the last 40 laps of the race. Harvick claimed his ninth win of the season, a career-best mark. He previous high was eight wins in 2018.
"To beat Kyle Busch at Bristol, I kind of got myself in a little bit of a ringer there," Harvick told NBCSN. "I hit a lapped car and got a hole in the right-front nose, but just kept fighting. We don't have anything else to lose. We were here to try to win a race."
The top five was completed by Erik Jones, Tyler Reddick and Aric Almirola. Clint Bowyer finished sixth and was the last car on the lead lap.

MORE: What drivers said after the race
Busch, who is now winless through the first 29 races of the season, finished second after he started from the rear due to two pre-race inspection failures. He took the lead for the first time when he left pit road first during the Stage 1 break. He wound up leading 159 laps to Harvick's 226.
Harvick's nine victories has him on pace to become the first driver to win at least 10 Cup races in a season in more than a decade and only the third driver to reach that mark in the past quarter century. Harvick has won three of the last five races.
"It's just been a weird year, but it's been an unbelievable year on the racetrack," Harvick said. "I can't thank everybody at Stewart-Haas Racing enough."
Jimmie Johnson is the last driver to accomplish the feat. He won 10 races in 2007. The only other driver to reach that mark in the last 25 years is Jeff Gordon. He won 13 races in 1998 and 10 races each in 1996 and '97.
The last driver not from Hendrick Motorsports to reach at least 10 wins in a season was Rusty Wallace. He won 10 times in 1993 for car owner Roger Penske.
Ryan Blaney, Matt DiBenedetto, William Byron and Cole Custer entered the race below the cutline to advance to the Round of 12 and were all eliminated from contention.
STAGE 1 WINNER: Chase Elliott
STAGE 2 WINNER: Kyle Busch
WHO HAD A GOOD RACE: Erik Jones earned his second top five in the last three races … Tyler Reddick earned his third top five of the season and his first since the July 19 race at Texas … Ryan Preece placed ninth for his first top 10 of the year … Michael McDowell finished 10th for his fourth top 10 this season, a career-best
WHO HAD A BAD RACE: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. finished last after he was eliminated in a crash on Lap 29 after he made contact with Jimmie Johnson … Matt DiBenedetto's chances of advancing in the playoffs were dashed when he had to pit for loose right rear tire on Lap 187 and then was caught speeding on pit road after returning to the lead lap. He finished 19th …. Martin Truex Jr. finished 24th after he had to pit for a tire issue on Lap 214 … Denny Hamlin finished 21st after he rammed into the back of Truex moments after he exited pit road following his stop … William Byron was eliminated from the race and playoff contention late in Stage 2 after he ran into the back of Christopher Bell … Pole-sitter Brad Keselowski placed 34th after he lost power steering early in the final stage and was black flagged for not meeting minimum speeding. After a lengthy stay in the garage, Keselowski returned to the race with about 105 laps left in the race.
WHAT'S NEXT: Round of 12 opener at Las Vegas Motor Speedway at 7 p.m. ET Sept. 27 on NBCSN.
What drivers said after Bristol night race
Kevin Harvick – winner: "We had just a really, really good Busch Light Ford Mustang tonight. I got it a little dinged up with 50 or 60 laps to go. I knocked a hole in the nose and made it a little too tight through the center of the corner, but turned into a heck of a race, in and out of traffic there with Kyle (Busch). He got me once pinned up there in traffic and I was able to do the same thing back and then hold the lead there until the end. Just really proud of everybody for everything that they've done all year and just continuing to fight, and there's not many races that you can win that are like winning here at the Bristol night race. That was a lot of fun."
Kyle Busch – finished 2nd: "Frustrated over finishing second. You know, just felt like this was one of our greater shots to win, and I don't know. You know, just come up short. You know, Skittles Camry was fast and we had a good car, one that was in contention all night long. Fired off the start of the race, I was like, oh, wow, this is a pretty good car and then got beat by another really good car, I guess."
Erik Jones – finished 3rd: "I guess it was a solid day. I thought we had a good car there at the end. But had to start at the back and that took a while to work through there and get some track position. It is really challenging to pass here, even though it is a short track. But a good run. The Auto Owners Camry got better all night, and honestly the last run of the race was our best. We got up there into third and I kind of knew I couldn't beat those guys straight up, so I tried to save a little bit on the front side of the run and run at the end hard, and just kind of ran out of time. I just started getting to those guys there when we took the checkered."
Tyler Reddick – finished 4th: "Our No. 8 Childress Vineyards Chevrolet Camaro was a fast one tonight, and we had a great finish to show for it at Bristol Motor Speedway. It took a couple adjustments to get our car to where I needed it to be, but our communication as a team on what adjustments to make has been a big focus for us over the past few weeks and that paid off during tonight's race. I fired off a little loose on the bottom and tight on the top, so our team had a decision to make on what to focus on. I felt that the top the better groove for our car, so we chose to work on loosening up our Chevrolet a little bit throughout the night and got it in a really good spot for the final stage.
"Those adjustments made it so I was able to cut through traffic during that last stage and race our way into the top five for the last 100 laps or so. I think I may have pushed my front tires a little bit too much on that final run, but this was a really good night for our team. We're chasing wins in these remaining races while also working on building a strong notebook for next year, and this is a solid step in the right direction for both of those goals."
Aric Almirola – finished 5th: "We had a solid top five tonight at Bristol and we're moving on to the Round of 12 again. It was a great run. We missed it a bit to start. This Smithfield Ford team worked so hard to make the right adjustments all night. I was scrapping in the car to get everything I could get. Really proud of everybody on the race team. Ready to see if we can't make it happen again in this next round."
Clint Bowyer – finished 6th: "We definitely did what we needed to do. Our Rush Truck Centers/Cummins Engine Ford Mustang was pretty good tonight. We were just way too loose to run with (Harvick or Busch). The cycle on the tires when we actually had that caution, had a cycle on the tires and that usually makes it tighter and that was by far our best run. We drove up through them pretty good and put ourselves in position there, but as soon as the green flag dropped right there at the end I was right back loose again. We did what we had to do. Obviously, you come here to win a race and be on top of that building over there, but proud of the guys and all their efforts. We're moving forward and that's all that matters right now."
Chase Elliott – finished 7th: "Definitely excited to move on in the playoffs. I thought the NAPA team had a solid race tonight. It's unfortunate the way the pit cycle went there, but I felt like we were close. Not sure if we were as good as (Harvick) and (Kyle Busch), but I thought we were close to them. I am proud of the effort and I hope this next round is good for us. It's definitely not going to get any easier as it goes. Nice to get the stage point and stage win and we will try again in Vegas."
Ryan Preece – finished 9th: "That was a really fun night at Bristol Motor Speedway. This year has obviously had its challenges for us, and we've worked so hard to try and make the strategy play in our favor and get JTG Daugherty Racing the finish we deserve and it feels really good to be able to put it all together. Our BUSH'S Beans Chevrolet was really good on the long run … The cautions finally fell our way and we were able to capitalize on it. Every week for the rest of the season is so important to keep focusing on the positives and get as many good finishes as we can and to be able to get BUSH'S Beans as top-10 finish at their home track is something we're all proud of."
Michael McDowell – finished 10th: "Well, what an awesome night for our No. 34 Love's Travel Stops Ford Mustang. We got a top-10 at Bristol. I'm really proud of everybody at Front Row Motorsports. I'm so thankful to Bob Jenkins and all of my guys for giving me this opportunity. It's the best season that I've ever had and another top 10 really helps to keep our momentum rolling. We also have a Ford in Victory Lane, so that's awesome. I'm just super-excited to get a top 10 at Bristol."
Joey Logano – finished 11th: "We had a car that was probably top five. It wasn't as good as (Harvick and Busch) but we had something that was competitive and had that longer run with a loose right rear wheel and we tried to make it last long and it started to get pretty bad. Here, if you go too long it will ruin your chances for the day. It felt like we were late enough in the run that maybe we would start to cycle if we pit. We were so close. The caution was because of (Harvick) pitting and bottling everyone up. We were probably 10 or 15 laps from the cycle being complete and getting our lap back and being in contention for an even better finish. That is how it goes sometimes. We had a solid car and we have a lot of momentum still into the playoffs with three really solid runs outside of one little hiccup here. We will move on to the next round and be happy."
Austin Dillon – Finished 12th: "We did what we had to do tonight in our Bass Pro Shops/TRACKER Off Road/ E-Z-GO Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. We advanced to the Round of 12 in the NASCAR Playoffs. We started off really strong, but our Chevy ended up getting extremely tight in Stage 2. We recovered from that and were running in the top 10 when Harvick slowed on the track to make a green-flag pit stop. I got on my brakes as hard as I could to avoid hitting him, but a lapped car was in the middle of the track and I had nowhere to go. My RCR team did a great job making repairs, but we were never able to catch the break we needed to get back into the top five. Our car was fast overall tonight, though, and I'm looking forward to seeing what we can accomplish during the remainder of the season. We'll go to Las Vegas next week and try to get a win."
Ryan Blaney – finished 13th: "We started off tight and then that second run we got really tight after the competition caution and lost a lot of track position. After that, we kind of were able to drive up through there. We got to fifth or sixth the one time and we were super tight again and it went really long. That just kind of made it worse and we just kind of got behind there. The track just swung really tight. I was kind of tight all night, but it just swung really tight on us and that was just the wrong direction that the track needed to be at. That stinks."
Kurt Busch – finished 15th: "It was a good day, we had a loose wheel and we battled after that, but our stage points are what really helped the Monster Energy Chevy tonight. That gave us the cushion we needed to absorb the problem that we had. All-in-all we advanced and that's what we expected to do and that is what we have to continue to do. We will do it through teamwork and execution. The next round we have a mile-and-a-half Superspeedway and then the Roval. We've just got to be on our toes, keep adjusting and adapt to all the things that are coming our way in the next round."
Alex Bowman – finished 16th: "That was pretty eventful. We had a really good car all night. Our Axalta Camaro was really fast. Probably going to end up somewhere in the top five, at least the top 10. We just had a tire issue under green there in the last stage and had to pit. Unfortunately, we were not in our window to pit. Once the caution did come out, we weren't able to take the wave around. We were just kind of trapped there and unfortunately couldn't recover from that. … So awesome to advance to the next round. Proud of my team. This is the strongest we have been going into the Round of 12. I feel like we have some great tracks for us coming up. This is the most consistent we have been as a race team. I am bummed we lost our streak of top-10 finishes, but we have plenty more opportunities throughout the year to have great cars and contend for wins. Wish we would have ended up a little better, but we are ready for Vegas."
Ty Dillon – Finished 18th: "Our Germain Racing team battled all night long. It was a really good night for our GEICO Camaro ZL1 1LE. Everyone on our team executed throughout the entire race, from Matt (Borland) making good calls, the pit crew having great stops and Chris (Monez) on the spotter stand helping me navigate traffic. We all worked hard and it paid off. The car was its best at the end of the race, which is all you can ask for as a driver. I'm proud of our effort and we will keep digging to finish strong."
Matt DiBenedetto – finished 19th: "If we didn't have bad luck, we wouldn't have any luck at all. I don't know. It's just frustrating. I hate it. I want to get Menards and Dutch Boy and this team a good run like they deserve because we've had a rough couple weeks, and had a loose wheel, overcome it — drive through the entire field with a lot of green flag. We get to seventh, hoping for a caution, but either way we drove to the top 10 — good run — and I was screaming, 'Debris in (Turn) 1,' three damn times and we found it. We ran it over multiple times and I cut the right-rear down and it just ruins our day."
John Hunter Nemechek – finished 20th: "The crew put together a solid top 15, maybe even top-10 car tonight at Bristol. Our No. 38 Mystik Lubricants Ford Mustang was decent on the long run, but we struggled a little with drive off. After the first stage, it was looking like we were going to have a decent night. We tried a couple of different adjustments on pit road tonight – some of them helped, some not as much. Overall, we wanted to be able to finish a few spots higher. Thanks to our partners at Mystik Lubricants for coming on board with us this season. We'll debrief this week and come back ready for Las Vegas."
Denny Hamlin – finished 21st: "I think (Martin Truex Jr.) must have been on the splitter or something when he came out after he took a green flag pit stop. He just kind of went straight off of the corner. I was running the top and when he went straight, he saw he was going to hit the wall, so he slammed on the brakes and I was going, so I jammed up under him. That was unfortunate. That was bad luck for us. I think he was a couple laps down, but they were fighting their car all day. I'm sure they got in the next round, but we just had some bad luck. We drove up to fifth, and I felt pretty good. We caught the lead within three seconds – drove to them within three seconds, so I was pretty happy about where we were going to be, and then we crashed."
Bubba Wallace – finished 22nd: "We had a pretty fast No. 43 Cash App Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE tonight – probably the best car we've ever brought to Bristol (Motor Speedway), so that was a positive. We got a stage point in Stage 1. I thought the guys were doing a really good job throughout the night. Our Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE was on the tight-side a little bit. We didn't really seem to help it, but we didn't really hurt it all either – kind of just stayed the same balance from the start of the race to the finish. A little frustrating, but super frustrated that we just can't seem to get some luck on the strategy side. Unfortunate that we got trapped three-laps down, or whatever it was, and you're just stuck, especially that late in the race. We'll go onto the Las Vegas Motor Speedway and see if we can turn it around."
Cole Custer – finished 23rd: "We just struggled here. I don't know why. I've always liked Bristol, it just hasn't come together this year here. We've just really struggled. I just can't thank everybody enough at SHR, everybody at HaasTooling.com, Autodesk. I just wish we had a better night. We were just a little bit off. I think we can hang our heads high on what we've done this year, but we still have a lot of races to win the rest of this year, so we just have to keep building."
Daniel Suarez – finished 26th: "We deserved better than that. I don't know what happened at the end there, but it should not have happened. We had a few things to work on at the start of the race. Then, in the middle part of the race, we were super tight for a long time until the Toyota Genuine Parts & Service car really started coming to me on old tires. We didn't make any changes on the last stop and it was feeling pretty good until what happened there at the end. That's Bristol, I guess. Let's go to Las Vegas."
Brad Keselowski – finished 34th: "It was a frustrating night, there is no way around that. I am thankful we were able to lead some laps but that certainly was not what we were hoping for. We had a power steering pump issue. I am not sure exactly what it was. I will let the team guys get to that and chase it down. Obviously it killed out chances. I don't know what would have happened if we didn't have that problem but we did so we will move on to the next week and I am thankful we had the win at Richmond last week to fall back on."
William Byron – finished 38th: "I think the No. 51 car (Joey Gase) checked up in the middle of the straightaway. As fast as we were running the top, I was right behind the No. 95 (Christopher Bell) and I had literally nowhere to go. You can't stop in the middle of the straightaway when everybody is so committed to the top like that. Just ridiculous that that's what takes us out. I thought honestly we had a shot to run top-five or seven. The car was really, really good. We just needed a couple good pitstops. We were running probably ninth or tenth there. Just super disappointing – I've got to go back and watch that because that was kind of ridiculous."
