Accessing PH Treatments In Prison: A Caregiver's Story on How He Helped His Son from the Outside
By: Craig Courtney
This is a story of a young man, Matthew, with aspiring potential, only to see his future lead to dread and tragedy, and then to one of hope. Matthew graduated high school with Honors and was accepted to three University of California schools. As a result of circumstances, he instead enrolled in the Honors program at a local community college. Unbeknownst to me, Matthew disliked the community college. He got involved with drugs and became a daily marijuana user. In the summer of 2007 he resorted to unlawful activity. He was arrested the following March, dropped out of college and entered drug rehabilitation for four months while out on bail. Matthew was arraigned in September 2008. In June 2009, Matthew and his attorney accepted a plea arrangement for 32 months in the state prison.
Meanwhile, Matthew started to experience shortness of breath, but delayed seeing the doctor. In May 2009 he finally saw his primary care doctor, who said he was probably feeling anxious about his upcoming court appearances and prescribed him anti-anxiety medication. By July Matthew started getting swelling in his feet, indicative of the onset of right heart failure. He went back to the same doctor, who ran an electrocardiogram (EKG) and a myriad of tests that resulted in Matthew being admitted to the hospital. Matthew was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension and interstitial lung disease in November 2009.
Over the next 11 months Matthew's condition stabilized, although I remained concerned about the progression of his PH. As Matthew was waiting to be incarcerated, his PH doctor, who has gone above and beyond the call of duty on several accounts, wrote two letters about Matthew's PH. Even after Matthew's attorney presented these letters to the judge and I spoke directly to the head district attorney, Matthew was taken into custody by the California prison system on November 30, 2010. Before Matthew was cuffed, the bailiff let me give Matthew a hug. His hug was very firm. I sensed he was understandably scared. This would be the last hug with Matthew for the next 15 weeks. The next hug would be under entirely different circumstances.
One of many things that the PHA website taught me as a PH caregiver was to always be prepared. That October, I typed up the list of Matthew's five medications and their dosages and had his attorney insert it in Matthew's court file. I also gave a copy to Matthew on the way to his last court appointment. That was great advice because within 36 hours I received a call from a nurse at the infirmary where Matthew was transferred to in the middle of the night. The nurse was almost frantic about Matthew's PH and his high uric acid levels. He and the doctor didn't understand PH at all. The next day I dropped off a 10-day supply of Matthew's PH medications, ambrisentan and sildenafil, with the nurse. I followed the same procedure 10 days later.
Matthew was transferred to a reception center at Los Angeles County Prison in Lancaster, CA. The day he was transferred to Lancaster, the pharmacist called me and requested that I meet her at the prison's visitor center. I drove 75 miles that same day to bring a 30-day supply of ambrisentan and sildenafil to Matthew.
I was let through the front gate, only to face five big, armed guards at the visitor center who looked at me like I was crazy. They told me, "You don't understand! This isn't jail, this is prison! Nobody brings medication here!" Medication transfers from the "outside – in" had never been done before. They reluctantly called the pharmacist who sent her assistant to the visitor center. The assistant explained to the guards the reason for the medication transfer: ambrisentan cannot be obtained from just any pharmacy.
Thirty days later I followed the same routine and I met the pharmacist for the first time; I shook her hand vigorously. Meanwhile, the prison was able to get the sildenafil rather quickly and the pharmacist had already begun the process to have the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) pay for the ambrisentan. I worked with the PHA to have them send the prison doctor a medical information packet. Accredo helped the prison doctor, who was not familiar with PH, enroll with the Letairis Education and Access Program (LEAP) in order for Matthew to obtain his ambrisentan regularly.
|"I also learned that there is a community of support among the prisoners. Many of the other inmates who had visitors greeted Matthew as he walked by. They were quietly cheering him on."
Matthew's pharmacist at Lancaster was so helpful, but Matthew was soon transferred to California Men's Colony (CMC) State Prison in San Luis Obispo (SLO). Everything started out fine for Matthew, but when I eventually learned that he had been placed in the prison hospital because of viral bronchitis he had contracted while in general population, I made hasty arrangements to drive 200 miles to visit him. Strangely, he denied my visit on the first day, but I tried again the next day and unexpectedly found him to be in a wheelchair and on oxygen. The guards wouldn't let him stand up, but I hugged him anyway. He told me he refused my visit because he didn't want to be seen in a wheelchair and on oxygen.
The next time I visited Matthew, he was able to walk, albeit slowly, on his own accord. I later found out that Matthew was supposed to be on oxygen and in a wheelchair during that visit. I also learned that there is a community of support among the prisoners. Many of the other inmates who had visitors greeted Matthew as he walked by. They were quietly cheering him on. It's not all about fights and unrest.
I stayed in contact with the PHA all this time and when I told them about Matthew's situation, they sent a letter to the prison on Matthew's behalf. The letter stated that Matthew should be seen by a PH specialist and gave two such doctors, one in Torrance and another one local in SLO. The letter made its way up to the chief medical officer at CMC. Within four weeks Matthew was seen by the local PH specialist, Dr. Ryan, in SLO. The PH specialist was extremely helpful and gave me a complete synopsis of Matthew's PH condition. Unfortunately, his right heart pressures were still high and his heart's capacity had been significantly curtailed. He was only able to do 250 feet in the 6MWD. Matthew was devastated by the news, and especially that treprostinil was now the obvious medication for him.
Dr. Ryan, who remained in communication with the CMC doctor, felt the treprostinil could be managed at the CMC hospital. However it would have to be approved by the CDCR headquarters in Sacramento and I knew convincing Matthew would also be a challenge. Or, I should say Matthew needed to convince himself. The thought of wearing an infusion pump administering the treprostinil subcutaneously on his abdomen was very difficult for Matthew to accept. Matthew decided to start on inhaled treprostinil. This required close cooperation by Dr. Ryan, his primary care physician, Dr. Amoto, and the CMC medical social worker, Chelsea Emerson. They worked together to get it approved by the CDCR, and then advocated for special clearance for the Tyvaso (inhaled treprostinil) specialist to come and train Matthew and the nurses.
I'm not going to give up advocating for Matthew. I am also not going to give up advocating for others afflicted with PH. Through this whole experience I have felt a positive sense of humanity. All those who come in contact with PH become part of a family–a family of support, resourcefulness and hope. The PH family is helping keep my son alive today. I thank the PHA and all those I have referenced above who have supported me and Matthew.

It is said that in a recital given on 23 March 1783 with the celebrated composer Christoph Willibald Gluck most likely in attendance, Mozart improvised variations on the song "Unser dummer Pöbel meint" from Gluck's Singspiel Die Pilgrime von Mekka. He later put them to paper and had them printed three years later. It is quite possibly Christoph Willibald GlIn April and May 1789, Mozart, along with Prince Lichnowsky, undertook a journey via Dresden and Leipzig to Berlin, where he presumably played before the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm II. No doubt as a friendly homage to the royal chamber music director and cellist Jean-Pierre Duport, he anticipated his meeting by writing – during the journey – nine variations on a Minuet, also by Duport. Today they belong among Mozart's most beloved variation cycles. uck's celebrity that was responsible for K. 455 being one of Mozart's musically most demanding variation cycles.

About the composer
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Mozart is one of the few composers to have produced masterpieces in all genres. On the concert tours he undertook in his early years (London, Mannheim, Italy, Paris) he gained many varied musical impressions that he assimilated in his youth and which formed the prerequisite for his later consummate musical language.
|Born in Salzburg on January 27, the son of musician and later court composer Leopold Mozart. His early regimented musical education from his father began in 1761, first compositions at age five.
|Extended concert tours through various German cities and to Paris, London, Amsterdam, Switzerland. He composes his first sonatas for violin and piano, K. 10–15, dedicated to Queen Charlotte, as well as the first symphonies from London, K. 16 and 19, which show the influence of the works of Johann Christian Bach and Karl Friedrich Abel (the three-movement Italian sinfonia form).
|Premiere in Salzburg of the sacred light opera "Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebotes," K. 35 (written with Michael Haydn and Anton C. Adlgasser), and the intermezzo "Apollo et Hyacinthus," K. 38. Journeys with his father and sister to Vienna.
|Probably the premiere in Vienna of his Singspiel "Bastien and Bastienne," K. 50. Composition of his first masses.
|Performance in Salzburg of the dramma giocoso "La finta semplice," K. 51.
|Two tours to Italy; he meets Farinelli, P. Nardini, and Padre Martini, among others, and, on the second trip, Hasse. Premieres in Milan of his opera seria "Mitridate, Re di Ponto" in 1770 and of the festa teatrale "Ascanio in Alba" in 1771. Composition of symphonies and his first string quartet (1770, K. 80).
|Composition of the oratorio "La Betulia liberate," K. 118, in Salzburg/Italy.
|Premiere of the serenata drammatica "Il sogno di Scipione," K. 126, for the accession of Salzburg Archbishop Hieronymus Count Colloredo. He receives an appointment as salaried concertmaster of the Salzburg Court Chapel (of which he had been an unpaid member since 1769). Third journey to Italy with his father, premiere in Milan of the dramma per musica "Lucio Silla," with general success. The final trip to Italy spells the ends of his youthful phase of appropriation; he has tested out all important instrumental genres (symphony, sonata, string quartet) and all the main genres of opera (Singspiel, opera buffa, opera seria, festa teatrale).
|from 1773
|Composition of string quartets (K. 168–173) under the influence of Haydn, and of symphonies, divertimenti, serenades. He increasingly devotes himself, contingent upon the duties of his post, to liturgical music; several masses are written. Begins to compose violin and piano concerti.
|Premiere in Munich of the dramma giocoso "La finta giardiniera" and the serenata "Il Rè pastore." Piano sonatas, K. 279–284.
|He vacates his post temporarily to undertaken a promotional tour with his mother to Munich, Mannheim, and Paris.
|Composition of the "Paris" Symphony in D major (K. 297). In Paris he experiences the quarrel between the proponents of Gluck and those of Piccinni. Publication of violin sonatas.
|Resumes his duties in Salzburg, as court organist. Coronation Mass in C major.
|Premiere in Munich of his tragédie lyrique "Idomeneo," in which French and Italian elements are synthesized. Journey to Vienna. After his falling out with the Archbishop of Salzburg, he gives up his post, moves to Vienna, and earns his living as a free composer through concertizing and giving music lessons. His last great period of creativity begins.
|He becomes acquainted with the works of Bach and Handel through Baron van Swieten; after this he arranges Bachian fugues and incorporates the "learned style" (fugues and counterpoint) into his works beside the "galant style" (e.g. in the String Quartet in G major, K. 387, in 1782; Piano Sonata in F major, K. 533, in 1786; the Jupiter Symphony, K. 551, in 1788; "Die Zauberflöte" ("The Magic Flute"), and the Requiem in D minor, K. 626, both in 1791). Premiere in Vienna of his Singspiel "Die Entführung aus dem Serail" ("The Abduction from the Seraglio"). Composition of the Haffner Symphony in D major, K. 385.
|Mass in C minor, K. 427; Linz Symphony in C major, K. 425.
|Hunt Quartet in B-flat major, K. 458.
|Premiere in Vienna of the oratorio "Davide penitente," K. 469. "Dissonance" Quartet in C major, K. 465.
|Premiere of the comedy with music "Der Schauspieldirektor" ("The Impresario"), K. 486, which Salieri's competing work "Prima la musica e poi le parole" ("First the Music and Then the Words") bests. Premiere in Vienna of the opera buffa "Le nozze di Figaro" ("The Marriage of Figaro"), whose extended action-packed finales form a highpoint of opera buffa. Prague Symphony in D major, K. 504.
|Serenade in G major ("Eine kleine Nachtmusik"), K. 525. He is named imperial and royal chamber composer. Premiere in Prague of the dramma giocoso "Il dissoluto punito ossia Il Don Giovanni," a synthesis of serious and comic opera.
|Composition of the large Symphonies in E-flat major, K. 543; G minor, K. 550; and C major (Jupiter Symphony), K. 551. Clarinet Quintet in A major, K. 581.
|Premiere in Vienna of the dramma giocoso "Così fan tutte ossia La scuola degli amanti."
|Premiere in Prague of the opera seria "La clemenza di Tito" and in Vienna of the Singspiel "Die Zauberflöte." Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622. The Requiem remains unfinished. Dies in Vienna on December 5.

What we're about
The worlds of hackers and journalists are coming together as reporting goes digital and Internet companies become media empires. Journalists call themselves "hacks," someone who can churn out words in any situation. Hackers use the digital equivalent of duct tape to whip out code. Hacker-journalists try and bridge the two worlds.
This group is to bring all these people together -- those who are working to help people make sense of their world. It's for hackers exploring technologies to filter and visualize information, and for journalists who use technology to find and tell stories.
In the age of information overload, all their work has become even more crucial. This group aims to help members find inspiration and think in new directions, bringing together potential collaborators for projects and new ventures.

Blue Jay Earrings
Product Description
0.94 in (24 mm) x 0.91 in (23 mm)
All Bamboo hanging earrings have ear wires made of solid sterling silver and feature genuine Swarovski crystals. Cloisonné jewelry is handcrafted by fusing kiln-fired glass to a sterling silver foundation, and each color is outlined by a fine braid of silver wire. All Bamboo Jewelry is enameled on both the front and back which strengthens pieces and makes the backside smoother to the touch. Lastly, all Bamboo Jewelry comes packaged in eco-friendly bamboo gift boxes lined with anti-tarnish fabric.


text: Any reference to thread count (TC) refers to the commonly accepted commercial definition of the number of yarns per square inch including 2 ply yarns for obtaining total thread count. It is not a reference to the "technical" definition as promulgated by ASTM Standard D 3775 which considers 2 or more ply yarns as one thread or end. Applying D 3775 to multiple ply yarns will result in a lower technical thread count than the commercial definition.

We got together with friends last night and went out for the yummiest pizza in Chicago - Lou Malnati's. We used to go there for New Year's Eve, but we hadn't been there for several years. Last night, we remembered why. Imagine walking into a restaurant filled with families. Imagine noisemakers at every seat in the restaurant. Now imagine clowns walking around making squeaking balloon creations for the kids. Ugh! Next year, we'll bring ear plugs. Or have pizza delivered.
Know what I did first in 2008? Kiss my husband? No. Hug the kids? Nope. Wish everyone a happy new year? Huh-uh. I cleaned sparkling cider that had spilled all over my kitchen floor. I think it's an omen of things to come.
This is when the kids crashed after the chocolate extravaganza. Yes, there are ten.

Last week one of the schools I teach at invited me to judge a business plan contest. I suggested that they first might want to read my post on why business plans are a poor planning and execution tool for startups. They called back laughing and the invitation disappeared.
At best I think business plan competitions are a waste of time. But until now I haven't been able to articulate a framework of why or had a concrete suggestion of what to replace them with.
Now I do.
Business Plan Versus Business Models
Where did the idea that startups write business plans come from? A business plan is the execution document that large companies write when planning product-line extensions where customer, market and product features are known. The plan describes the execution strategy for addressing these "knowns." In the early days of venture capital, investors and entrepreneurs were familiar with the format of business plans from large company and adopted it for startups. Without much thought it has been used ever since.
It turns out that's a mistake. A startup is not executing a series of knowns. Most startups are facing unknown customer needs, an unknown product feature set and is an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model. That means that writing a static business plan adds no value to starting a company, as the plan does not represent the iterative nature of the search for the model. A simple way to think about it is that in a startup no business plan survives first contact with customers.
Instead of business plans I have suggested that startups use business models.
Business models are dynamic and reflect the iterative reality that startups face. Business models allow agile and opportunistic founders to keep score of the Pivots in their search for a repeatable business model.
Business Plan Competitions are Great for Schools and Bad For Students
Almost every university, region and car wash now has a business plan competition; the rules, who can participate, how large the prizes and who are the judges vary by school.
Business plan competitions perpetuate everything that is wrong about trying to make plans that were designed to be used in large companies fit startups. (One of my favorites: "Judging will include such factors as: Market opportunity, reward to risk, strategy, implementation plan, financing plan, etc.") All of which may be true in large companies. But little of it is relevant to the chaos and uncertainty in the life of a startup.
Yet an ever increasing number of schools keep holding Business Plan competitions. Why?
- They're a match for the "How to write a business plan" classes that are offered.
- It makes the school appear relevant to their constituencies; students, donors, faculty, VC's.
- Business plans are easy to grade, score and judge.
- Schools can get Venture Firms to fund prizes for the best business plan.
- Venture Firms use the contests as another source of deal flow and talent.
- There is no alternative.
The irony is that business plan competitions ought to be held for plans from large companies not for startups.
The Alternative – Business Model Competitions
I'll offer that to be useful for startups Business Plan competitions need to turn into Business Model competitions. A Business Model competition has a radically different goal than writing a business plan. The Business Model competition measures how well students learn how to Pivot by getting outside the building (not by writing a plan inside one.)
Each team would be judged by their business model presentation on these five steps.
- What did you initially think your initial business model was? (initial business model hypotheses)
- What did you build/do? (built first product, talked to users, etc.)
- What did you learn outside the building? (parts of our feature set/business model were wrong)
- Then what did you do? (iterated product, changed business model, etc.)
- Repeat steps 1-4
The business model would be scored and judged based on steps 3 and 4. And extra credit for multiple times through the loop.
For the first time we'd have a competition that closely resembled the reality that founders face, rather than a creative writing exercise.
There are now examples of business model presentations on the web. They were also at the heart of the Startup Lessons Learned conference.
I'll be happy to hand out the prizes at the first competition. Lets call it the "Pivot Award for Excellence."
Lessons Learned
- Business plans are the wrong tool to search for a startup business model
- They are best suited for large companies
- Yet we have startup business plan contests
- Experienced entrepreneurs know that business model iteration and validation occurs outside the building
- Some school will be first to hold a contest that rewards what matters

The police chief in the St. Louis suburb where an officer fatally shot an unarmed teenager identified the officer on Friday as Darren Wilson, and said the officer was dispatched to the area after a reported robbery.
Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson made the announcement after initially declining to the release the officer's name, saying he had received numerous death threats. The officer has been on administrative leave since the shooting Saturday of 18-year-old Michael Brown, whose death has sparked several days of clashes with furious protesters in the city.
Jackson said Wilson, along with other officers, were called to the area after a 911 call reporting a "strong-arm" robbery just before noon Saturday at a convenience store. He did not say if Brown was a suspect in that robbery and refused to answer any questions, saying he would release more information later Friday.
But he said that a dispatcher gave a description of the robbery suspect, and Wilson, who had been assisting on another call, was sent to investigate. Wilson, a six-year veteran of the police department, encountered Brown just after 12:01 p.m., with a second officer arriving three minutes later.
Police have said Brown was shot after an officer encountered him and another man on the street. They say one of the men pushed the officer into his squad car, then physically assaulted him in the vehicle and struggled with the officer over the officer's weapon. At least one shot was fired inside the car before the struggle spilled onto the street, where Brown was shot multiple times, according to police.
But a much different story has been told by Dorian Johnson, who says he was walking down the street with Brown when he was shot. He has said the officer ordered them out of the street, then grabbed his friend's neck and tried to pull him into the car before brandishing his weapon and firing. He says Brown started to run and the officer pursued him, firing multiple times.
Tensions in the Ferguson boiled over after a candlelight vigil Sunday night, as looters smashed and burned businesses in the neighborhood, where police have repeatedly fired tear gas and smoke bombs.
But on Thursday, county police in riot gear and armored tanks gave way to state troopers walking side-by-side with thousands of peaceful protesters. The dramatic shift came after Gov. Jay Nixon assigned oversight of the protests to the state Highway Patrol, stripping that authority from the St. Louis County Police Department.
"All they did was look at us and shoot tear gas," Pedro Smith, who has participated in the nightly protests, said Thursday. "This is totally different. Now we're being treated with respect."
The more tolerant response came as President Barack Obama spoke publicly for the first time about Saturday's fatal shooting — and the subsequent violence that shocked the nation and threatened to tear apart Ferguson, a town of 21,000 that is nearly 70 percent black and patrolled by a nearly all-white police force.
Obama said there was "no excuse" for violence either against the police or by officers against peaceful protesters.
Nixon's promise to ease the deep racial tensions was swiftly put to the test as demonstrators gathered again Thursday evening. But the latest protests had a light, almost jubilant atmosphere among the racially mixed crowd, more akin to a parade or block party.
The streets were filled with music, free food and even laughter. When darkness fell — the point at which previous protests have grown tense — no uniformed officers were in sight outside the burned-out QuikTrip convenience store that had become a flashpoint for standoffs between police and protesters.
"You can feel it. You can see it," protester Cleo Willis said of the change. "Now it's up to us to ride that feeling."
Nixon appointed Highway Patrol Capt. Ron Johnson, who is black, to lead the police effort. Johnson, who grew up near Ferguson and commands a region that includes St. Louis County, marched alongside protesters Thursday, joined by other high-ranking brass from the Highway Patrol as well as the county department. The marchers also had a police escort.
"We're here to serve and protect," Johnson said. "We're not here to instill fear."
Residents in Ferguson have complained about the police response that began soon after Brown's shooting with the use of dogs for crowd control — a tactic that for some evoked civil-rights protests from a half-century ago. The county police had taken over the investigation of Brown's shooting and security at the request of Ferguson.
Nixon vowed that "Ferguson will not be defined as a community that was torn apart by violence but will be known as a community that pulled together to overcome it." The governor was joined at a news conference by the white mayor of St. Louis and the region's four state representatives and the county executive, all of whom are black.
Attorney General Eric Holder has said federal investigators have interviewed witnesses to the shooting.

Why Bamboo?
Bamboo from viscose is lightweight, breathable, and extra buttery soft for your baby's delicate skin. Its lush texture makes it a favorite amongst all ages. Its natural weave makes it stretchy enough for a nice snug fit, yet comfortable for all-day wear. The natural fibers make you feel like it's your second skin.
No Chemicals?
Did you know most children's wear is treated with flame retardants? You can rest easy knowing our bamboo is not treated with chlorine-containing bleaches, zinc, and sulfate. We comply with snug fitting standards to ensure we don't use any chemicals during our production process.
Benefits of Bamboo From Viscose
It is hypoallergenic, allowing moisture to evaporate and dry quickly. In addition to being naturally hypoallergenic and anti-fungal, it is also odor resistant and naturally regulates body heat. Micro-gaps aid in ventilation by trapping in cool air during hot seasons and traps warm air during cold seasons. This means you stay cooler during the summer and a few degrees warmer during the winter. This makes it great specifically for people with sensitive skin and/or allergies.
It has natural UV protection to protect your peanuts from sun rays in comfort.
There are many ways to produce bamboo. Here at Posh Peanut, we are dedicated to giving back to our planet. Bamboo is one of the fastest-growing plants on earth. It requires very little water and grows 3-4ft a day without any fertilizers. Since our bamboo is made without any harsh chemicals, we are proud to say our products are made using the highest standards in textile.
Care & Wash
Most of our apparel is made from our signature Viscose from Bamboo, and we suggest washing them on cold/gentle cycle inside out. Lay flat to dry for optimal longevity or dry low and cool iron if needed. Follow all care tag instructions.
Viscose is know to be buttery soft and the softer the fabric, the more pilling is common — however, laying flat to dry really keeps the fabric new. Most moms prefer to line dry for optimal texture, lasting color, and to last through the life span of the item.
Due to the delicate nature of our lush fabrics, please do NOT wash with other items with zippers, buttons, or hardware. Snagging may occur. Wash separate with other babies items.

Paul Menard
No. 27 PEAK/Menards Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's PEAK/Menards Chevrolet ... Paul Menard will pilot chassis No. 409 for both the Budweiser Duel and Daytona 500. This No. 27 Chevrolet SS is a new addition to the Richard Childress Racing stable this season.
Stats for "The Great American Race"... Menard has 11 starts at Daytona International Speedway. His best start of first came in July 2008 and his best finish of sixth came in last year's Daytona 500. The Wisconsin native has completed 1,933 of 1,948 laps attempted at the 2.5-mile superspeedway, leading 37 of them.
PEAK Colors Adorn the Hood of No. 27 Menards Chevrolet ...PEAK's parent company, Old World Industries, LLC, headquartered outside of Chicago in Northbrook, Ill., was founded more than 30 years ago. Today, the company conducts business in more than 52 countries around the Globe and is a symbol of growth and success. Peak Performance Products provides a variety of consumer products for automotive enthusiasts. For more information, visit www.peakauto.com.
Time to Duel ... The Budweiser Duels at Daytona feature two 150-mile races to determine the final starting grid for the Daytona 500. By virtue of qualifying 14th in last Sunday's qualifying session, Menard will start seventh in the second of the two qualifying races on Thursday, Feb. 21.
Let's Get "Sirius"... Be sure to tune in to Sirius XM Radio Channel 90 at 3:15 p.m.ET on Saturday, Feb. 23. Menard will join hosts Dave Moody and Angie Skinner atop the Fan Deck at Daytona International Speedway to chat about what to expect heading into Sunday's Daytona 500.
Don't Miss Your Chance to See Paul Menard at the Chevy Q&A ... Fans can participate in a question-and-answer session with Menard on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 12:30 p.m. ET on the Team Chevy Stage, located in the merchandise area outside of Turn 4.
Paul Menard's Strategy for the Budweiser Duels on Thursday:
"We aren't locked into the "500", so we've got to go race. After watching the Sprint Unlimited Saturday night, the cars seemed to drive pretty well, even though it was really cold out. We are going to be racing the Duels on Thursday in the daylight. I'm not sure what the temperature is going to be, but nonetheless it's going to be a little more of a handful. We've got to keep the nose clean on our PEAK/Menards Chevrolet and just go out and race hard."
Menard's Thoughts on the Daytona 500:
"There are a lot of unknowns going into the Daytona 500. We learned a little bit about how this new Gen-6 car will handle in the draft during testing in January and practice last week. I think it's going to be a handful in the draft. We will get some drivability built into the cars between now and the "500", but it's going to be a wild race. It feels a lot like the old surface before they repaved it. It has a lot less grip and the cars slide around quite a bit, but that what makes for a fun and exciting race."
Kevin Harvick
No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's Budweiser Chevrolet at Daytona International Speedway ... Kevin Harvick will pilot Chassis No.407 from the Richard Childress Racing NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stable in both the Budweiser Duel and Daytona 500. New to the fleet, this Chevrolet SS will run its first competitive laps at the 2.5-mile superspeedway during Budweiser Speedweeks.
The Champion Returns ... When the 2007 Daytona 500 champion takes the green flag for the 55th running of the "Great American Race", it will mark his 24th points-paying Sprint Cup Series appearance at the 2.5-mile superspeedway. Over the years, the Bakersfield, Calif., native has collected two victories (2007 Daytona 500 and July 2010), five top-five and 10 top-10 finishes. Harvick is also credited with 178 laps led.
Draught-ing School... While on-track at DIS, drivers focus on drafting, but on Wednesday night Harvick will learn about draught beer as he and Budweiser's own Scott Seggi host a private Budweiser Draught School event in Daytona Beach, Fla., for local retailers.
Budweiser Clydesdales... DIS fans can get a close look at the Budweiser Clydesdales, an enduring symbol of Anheuser-Busch's heritage, tradition and commitment to quality for nearly 80 years. The Budweiser Clydesdales will be stationed in the DIS midway for the remainder of Budweiser Speedweeks. In addition, the hitch, consisting of eight Clydesdales, the famous red, white and gold beer wagon, and two drivers seated next to the hitch's signature mascot Dalmation will take part in a pre-race parade lap prior to the Budweiser Duel on Thursday, Feb. 21 and the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 24.
Dueling for a Position ... Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet team posted the 25th-fastest lap in Daytona 500 qualifying, earning the team a 13th-place starting spot in the first Budweiser Duel 150 race on Thursday, Feb. 21. SPEED will provide live television coverage of the twin qualifying races starting at 2 p.m. Eastern Time.
You've Got Questions, He's Got Answers ... Harvick will participate in a fan question-and-answer session prior to the start of the Daytona 500 on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 9:40 a.m. ET at the Team Chevy Stage.
2012 Race Rewind ... Harvick and the No. 29 Budweiser Chevrolet team finished seventh in the 54th running of the Daytona 500 after being delayed one day by rain and a fire that erupted as a car made contact with a jet dryer.
Kevin Harvick discusses the unknowns heading into the Daytona 500.
"I think you have to keep an open mind about things. You have to be ready for anything as we go through the week. Budweiser Speedweeks is always a little bit different than every other race, because the week kind of evolves from start to finish. I've been through weeks where we've wrecked anything in sight, and I've been through weeks where you've won races and been successful through the week. You have to stay calm and not get too high on the highs or too low on the lows and be ready for Sunday."
Kevin Harvick shares what he has learned about restrictor-plate racing throughout the years.
"The biggest thing is you have to try and be around at the end. We have been successful with varying strategies as we've gone through the years, especially running in the back. I think the safest place to be, especially right now, is running up front, to be able to understand the cars and you wind up with a little more experience on when to make the move. We're going to race hard, and see where we fall in the end and hopefully miss the wrecks."

How big is the Daytona 500 for you as a driver?
"We've been close to winning so many restrictor-plate races lately at Daytona (International Speedway) and Talladega (Superspeedway) the last few years. We actually came really close here at Daytona last July and finished second. The Daytona 500 is huge. To win the Daytona 500 after my brother (Ward) won it in 2002 would be a really cool family feat. With our children working up through the racing ranks, if we could build a family legacy of winning the Daytona 500, that would be really special."
Austin Dillon
No. 33 Honey Nut Cheerios Chevrolet SS
Event Preview Fact Sheet
This Week's Honey Nut Cheerios Chevrolet at Daytona International Speedway ... Austin Dillon will pilot Chassis No. 334 in the Daytona 500 at Daytona International Speedway. This is a new addition to the RCR fleet that is being utilized for the first time this week.
Dillon at Daytona ... Although this year's Daytona 500 marks Dillon's first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series attempt at DIS, the Welcome, N.C., driver has a pair of top-five finishes at the 2.5-mile restrictor-plate track in the NASCAR Nationwide Series. He finished fifth in February 2012 and fourth in July 2012. In addition, He has two NASCAR Camping World Truck Series starts at the track with a best finish of 20th in 2011.
Welcome, Buzz ... Dillon's pal Buzz, the official SpokesBee of Honey Nut Cheerios, will be featured on the hood of the No. 33 Chevrolet for the Great American Race. This marks the fifth year of Richard Childress Racing's partnership with General Mills, which is a major associate sponsor throughout the year in the Sprint Cup Series on the No. 31 Cheerios Chevrolet and driver Jeff Burton. Cheerios, America's No.1 cereal franchise, debuted in 1941 as Cheerioats. The nation's first ready-to-eat oat cereal has since become one of the most trusted and recognized brands in America. In fact, one of every eight boxes of cereal sold in America is a box of Cheerios. General Mills' popular franchise includes Cheerios, Honey Nut Cheerios, Multi Grain Cheerios, Multi Grain Cheerios, Peanut Butter Cheerios, Chocolate Cheerios, Frosted Cheerios, Apple Cinnamon Cheerios, Cinnamon Burst Cheerios, Fruity Cheerios, Dulce de Leche Cheerios, Yogurt Burst Cheerios and Banana Nut Cheerios.
Dillon's DRIVE4COPD ... Dillon's paternal grandfather, Stan Dillon, passed away following a battle with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary disease (COPD) in May 2012, sparking Dillon to partner with the COPD foundation to encourage all Americans aged 35 or older to log onto www.drive4copd.org/screener to take a brief, five-question screener to see if they might be at risk for COPD, a serious and progressive lung disease that is the third leading cause of death of Americans.If the screener indicates risk, patients are encouraged to take the next step and speak with their healthcare professional or call the C.O.P.D. Information Line (1-866-316-2673) to discuss what their score may mean. Because COPD is a progressive disease that causes irreversible lung damage, early diagnosis and disease management are critical to helping patients breathe better in the future.
Time to Duel ... The Budweiser Duels at Daytona feature two 150-mile races from which the majority of the final starting grid for the Daytona 500 will be set. By virtue of qualifying 16th in last Sunday's qualifying session, Dillon will start eighth in the second of the two qualifying races on Thursday, Feb. 21.
Double Duty ... In addition to competing at Daytona International Speedway in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series this weekend, Dillon is scheduled to drive the No. 3 AdvoCare Chevrolet in the NASCAR Nationwide Series race on Saturday, Feb. 23. The Daytona Nationwide Series race kicks off a season-long campaign in which Dillon plans to battle for the 2013 Driver's Title after earning Rookie-of-the-Year honors and finishing third in the final Driver's Championship Point Standings in 2012. The DRIVE4COPD300 is live on ESPN at 1 p.m. ET on Saturday.
Off Season ... Dillon has spent much of the off season hunting throughout the U.S., traveling to locations such as Texas, Kansas, Georgia and Montana to hunt with friends and family members.
This will be your first Daytona 500. What does that mean to you?
"The prestige that this race holds and being out here and being able to watch some of RCR's guys go to Victory Lane throughout the years and be in Victory Lane to celebrate with them has really helped me appreciate the race and made me even more excited to participate myself. It's just awesome to be able to fire the engine and try and make this race. It's just a great opportunity and I can't wait until Sunday comes."
What did you learn during NASCAR Sprint Cup Series testing in January that might help you here at Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona 500 this weekend?"Drafting. It was pretty good to be able to get out there and run near the other drivers and see what the cars handled like. The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series cars didn't handle as well as the NASCAR Nationwide Series cars. There's just so much more power and less downforce. We're out there and it's going to be wild. You have to be able to be there at the end to make something happen. I think that's what all of these races come down to. I think we are going to have a shot just like anybody else once we get into the race."

WASHINGTON — Clare Boothe Luce liked to say that "a great man is one sentence." Presidents, in particular. The most common "one sentence" for George W. Bush (whose legacy is being reassessed as his presidential library opens) is: "He kept us safe."
Not quite right. He did not just keep us safe. He created the entire anti-terror infrastructure that continues to keep us safe.
That homage was paid, wordlessly, by Barack Obama, who vilified Bush's anti-terror policies as a candidate, then continued them as president: indefinite detention, rendition, warrantless wiretaps, special forces and drone warfare and, most notoriously, Guantanamo, which Obama so ostentatiously denounced — until he found it indispensable.
Quite a list. Which is why there was not one successful terror bombing on U.S. soil from 9/11 until last week. The Boston Marathon attack was an obvious failure, but there is a difference between 3,000 dead and three. And on the other side of the ledger are the innumerable plots broken up since 9/11.
Moreover, Bush's achievement was not just infrastructure. It was war. The Afghan campaign overthrew the Taliban, decimated al-Qaida and expelled it from its haven. Yet that success is today derogated with the cheap and lazy catchphrase — "He got us into two wars" — intended to spread to Afghanistan the opprobrium associated with Iraq.
As if Afghanistan was some unilateral Bush adventure foisted on the American people. As if Obama himself did not call it a "war of necessity"; and Joe Biden, the most just war since World War II.
The dilemma in Afghanistan was what to do after the brilliant, nine-week victory? There was no good answer. Even with the benefit of seven years' grinding experience under his predecessor, Obama got it wrong. His Afghan "surge" cost hundreds of American lives without having changed the country's prospects.
It turned out to be a land too primitive to democratize, too fractured to unify. The final withdrawal will come after Obama's own six years of futility.
Iraq was, of course, far more problematic. Critics conveniently forget that the invasion had broad support from the public and Congress, including from those who became the highest foreign-policy figures in the Obama administration — Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Chuck Hagel and Biden.
And they forget the context — crumbling sanctions that would in short order have restored Saddam Hussein to full economic and regional power, well positioning him, post-sanctions, to again threaten his neighbors and restart his WMD program.
Was the war worth it? Inconclusive wars never yield a good answer. Was Korea worth it? It ended with a restoration of the status quo ante. Now 60 years later, we face nuclear threats from the same regime that was not defeated in a war that cost 10 times as many American lives as Iraq.
The Iraq War had three parts. The initial toppling of the regime was a remarkable success — like Afghanistan, rapid and with relatively few U.S. casualties.
The occupation was a disaster, rooted in the fundamental contradiction between means and ends, between the "light footprint" chosen by Gen. George Casey and the grand reformation attempted by Paul Bremer, who tried to change everything down to the coinage.
Finally, the surge, a courageous Bush decision taken against near-universal opposition, that produced the greatest U.S. military turnaround since the Inchon landing. And inflicted the single most significant defeat for al-Qaida (save Afghanistan) — a humiliating rout at the hands of Iraqi Sunnis fighting side-by-side with the American infidel.
As with Lincoln, it took Bush years of agonizing bloody stalemate before he finally found his general and his strategy. Yet, for all the terrible cost, Bush bequeathed to Obama a strategically won war. Obama had one task: Conclude a status-of-forces agreement and thus secure Iraq as a major regional ally. He failed utterly. Iraq today is more fragile, sectarian and Iranian-influenced than it was when Bush left office — and than it had to be.
Like Bush, Harry Truman left office widely scorned, largely because of the inconclusive war he left behind. In time, however, Korea came to be seen as but one battle in a much larger Cold War that Truman was instrumental in winning. He established the institutional and policy infrastructure (CIA, NATO, Truman Doctrine, etc.) that made possible ultimate victory almost a half-century later. I suspect history will similarly see Bush as the man who, by trial and error but also with prescience and principle, established the structures that will take us through another long twilight struggle, and enable us to prevail.
