Chip Ganassi Racing wins drama
The twice around the clock endurance classic developed into a two horse race in the closing stages between Dixon's Ganassi entry and the No. 10 Wayne Taylor Racing Corvette DP of Jordan Taylor.
While Dixon led into the final hour after getting around Jordan Taylor for the lead following the second to last round of pit stops, the WTR Corvette DP pitted while under the final yellow to put Ricky Taylor aboard due a drive time miscalculation.
Ricky Taylor restarted in third with eight minutes to go but was forced to serve a stop and go penalty for entering a closed pit. As a result, he, brother Jordan and Max Angelelli had to settle for a third place overall finish.
Bourdais and co drivers Joao Barbosa and Christian Fittipaldi benefitted from WTR's misfortune to finish second, rebounding from a disconnected wire connector in the fuel pump in the ninth hour, where they lost three laps.
While Ganassi becomes a six time Rolex 24 winner, Dixon notches his second Rolex watch, while co drivers Tony Kanaan, Jamie McMurray and Kyle Larsen each claim their first Daytona 24 win.

The win also marked the first 24 hour win for Ford's EcoBoost engine, which debuted here one year ago with Ganassi and the Michael Shank Racing teams. Foyt and Mario Andretti to have won the Daytona 500 and Rolex 24.
The No. 31 Action Express/Whelen entry, which was classified 7th overall but 5th in the Prototype class.
Late race clutch issues for the No. 01 Ganassi entry, led by Scott Pruett and Joey Hand, ended in retirement, while a problem with the left front suspension in the final three hours dashed hopes for Michael Shank Racing's Ligier JS P2 Honda, which had run inside the top five.
The pole sitting car salvaged a sixth place finish in class and 11th place overall result.
The P class saw an unusual high rate of attrition, with less than half of the 16 starters being classified at the finish.
Five of the six P2 cars failed to get to the finish, including the No. 57 Krohn Racing Ligier JS P2 Judd, which retired in the sixth hour with engine failure.
Both of the debuting Tequila Patron ESM HPD ARX 04bs showed promise but battled reliability woes. The No. 2 car lost power in the opening hours,van cleef and arpels necklace price, although the No. 1 entry impressed through the first half, and even briefly led in the hands of Scott Sharp but suffered gearbox failure overnight.
Mazda also had its time in the spotlight, with the No. 70 Mazda SKYACTIV D prototype of Tom Long leading overall for the first time in the TUDOR Championship. While showing significant improved pace, both Mazdas dropped out with oil pressure (No. 70) and overheating (No. 07) issues overnight.

The DeltaWing, a pre race favorite based on its pace at the Roar, fought gearbox issues all weekend and was the first retirement in the second hour.
Prototype Challenge class honors went to PR1/Mathiasen Motorsports following a unpredictable final half hour that saw the leader crash out in dramatic fashion.
Following a dominant race that saw his CORE autosport Oreca FLM09 hold control from the ninth hour,replica van cleef and arpels alhambra necklace, Colin Braun and his three co drivers appeared to be en route to back to back class victories.
However, their race ended in flames on the backstretch after Braun slammed into the wall following contact with another car earlier that lap that caused a suspected tire puncture.
It handed the lead to Tom Kimber Smith, who took the Bobby Oregel led PR1 squad to its first ever Rolex 24 win, after rebounding from a six lap deficit early in the race.
Kimber Smith shared driving duties with Mike Guasch, Andrew Novich and Andrew Palmer, marking all four drivers' maiden win at Daytona, completing much of the race without power steering.
The tight knit PR1/Mathiasen squad becomes one of the few teams to have claimed class victories at Daytona, Sebring and Petit Le Mans.
The No. 16 BAR1 Motorsports entry of Johnny Mowlem, Martin Plowman, Tomy Drissi, Tom Papadopoulos and team owner Brian Alder finished one lap behind in second.
Owing to the high rate of attrition, only three of the eight starters in the spec prototype class took the checkered flag at the end.

MOB CASE REUNITES BOYHOOD BUDDIES
And they were best friends in Brooklyn Mill Basin.
The cop kid,mens rolex oyster perpetual datejust watch replica, Jimmy Mullan, became an NYPD detective while Anthony Rotondo became a top gangster before emerging last month as a key turncoat witness against alleged Gambino boss Peter Gotti.
Mullan was the son of the late James Mullan Sr., a legendary NYPD detective who performed surveillance work on the Mafia for more than three decades. James Jr. followed in his dad footsteps, spending a dozen years as an undercover NYPD detective. He fearlessly bought narcotics and illegal handguns, investigated labor and political corruption, and infiltrated two Mafia families as well as the notorious Westies, an Irish gang of killers from Hell Kitchen.
Rotondo was the son of Vincent The Gent Rotondo,replica used rolex datejust, a soon to be murdered DeCavalcante crime family underboss.
The younger Rotondo also followed his father, becoming a feared Mafia capo and earning millions while admittedly participating in four murders.
And yet, long ago,ladies rolex oyster perpetual datejust replica, when the boys were buddies, all that mattered was their friendship.
up, I spent all of my free time at his house, Mullan said. was a very respectful kid very laid back and very quiet.
The first hint they were different came in their early teens, when Mullan pal gave him an expensive Rolex watch. Mullan dad made him return the gift, but refused to say why.
said, did you get that watch? I told him and he said, give it back! Mullan recalled with a laugh.
The two were painfully reunited on the afternoon of Jan. 4, 1988, when Mullan, a newly promoted detective in the NYPD Intelligence Division,replica rolex lady datejust, heard someone had been fatally shot near his home. Mullan arrived at 2356 Royce St., where his boyhood pal 58 year old dad lay sprawled out dead in the Lincoln he had just parked, shot six times in the head by killers who were never caught.
didn know I had become a cop, Mullan said. The poignant reunion was brief as both men went their separate ways.

Rolex Makes History Again With James Cameron
When film director and adventurer James Cameron journeyed 7 miles down to the base of the Mariana Trench this month, he trusted his timekeeping to a specially created Rolex divers' watch. This has not been the first time rolex has been an instrumental piece in expeditions around the world.
Fifty two years ago Rolex engineered watchmaking history when it became a member of the bathyscaphe Trieste, crewed by Swiss oceanographer Jacques Piccard and US Navy Lieutenant Don Walsh,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust, as the Swiss designed bathyscaphe descended towards the then deepest known point in the sea.
An experimental Rolex timepiece Deep Sea Special wristwatch was connected to the outside of the Trieste when it touched the very bottom of the Mariana Trench on January 23, 1960, achieving a depth of 35,814 feet. It successfully survived incredible pressure that no completely submersible, let alone wrist watch, had encountered before and that no human being could ever survive. The dive marked the culmination of a long connection to Jacques Piccard and his father, Auguste Piccard,replica cost of rolex oyster perpetual datejust, the developer of the bathyscaphe, as they stretched the limitations of deep sea research. It was also the work of decades of unwavering growth and development of the waterproof wristwatch, which was invented by Rolex.
A History of Breakthrough Discovery
Rolex has long been connected with exploration of the planet's most extreme frontiers and pushing the limits of mankinds endeavor, consistent with the spirit instilled by its creator, Hans Wilsdorf. He led the business through the most exciting decades of the twentieth century,replica rolex lady datejust, a period marked by discovery of the world about us and tremendous technological development.
The Swiss watchmaker has, in particular, nurtured a special relationship with the sea and its greatest reaches from the beginning. Rolex is the natural partner for DEEPSEA CHALLENGE, a scientific expedition that heralds the start of a new era in underwater exploration.
Robust, precise,replica gold rolex oyster perpetual datejust, and highly dependable Rolex Oyster wrist watches have not only followed the Trieste on the world's deepest dive. They also outfitted the expedition by Sir John Hunt, Sir Edmund Hillary, and Tenzing Norgay to the peak of the world in 1953 leading to the groundbreaking ascent of Mount Everest and Chuck Yeager when he shattered the sound barrier in 1947.
Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, developments in diving technology paved the way for a boom in marine exploration. The demanding professional diving community came to treasure Rolex watches as essential tools of the trade and even helped in their development.
The legendary Oyster Perpetual Submariner, initially unveiled in 1953, is today water proof to a depth of 1,000 feet (300 meters).

Act Now for Elder Justice
America's children are protected under the Child Abuse Prevention Act 1974,replica sell rolex oyster perpetual datejust; women's rights are ensured under the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. Why wouldn't our seniors have the same security? Now's the time to pass the Elder Justice Act. You can help.
Last week, news broke that residents at a California nursing home had been drugged to the point of oblivion and death by nurses who opted to mute their patients rather than address their needs. Flying under the radar since 2003, "caretakers" like nurse Gwen Hughes had been administering anti psychotics to sedate those they had committed to protect.
This method of shutting patients down has been likened to physical restraints now outlawed or ruled unethical, but officials turned on their blinders until reports that elderly patients were literally overdosed with lethal amounts. Here's a case of out of sight out of mind proof that denial and ignorance will continue to render the realities of elder abuse invisible until we force ourselves to see.
WITNESS is making sure we look. The powerful nonprofit that partners with NGOs around the world to visually document human rights abuses has set it's North American focus on the rights of elders in this country and the grave physical, emotional and financial assaults that happen every single day. The organization teamed with the National Council on Aging (NCOA) to help spread the truth about what they call "America's silent crisis." By arming constituents with the tools and training to create video testimonials, NCOA and WITNESS are making sure that policy makers see the faces and experience the stories that make ignoring impossible.
Kelly Matheson, WITNESS's Program Coordinator for North America, told Tonic, "It's an issue that affects all of us. Doesn't matter what our social or economic situation is. With the aging of the population, with the greying of America, the problem is only going to get worse. And with the economic downturn . it's only going to get worse."
"Call your representative and tell them to make sure that the Elder Justice Act is included in health reform legislation," Matheson says. "The Senate has done it; [the House needs] to do it too."
(Time is running out! Be sure to take action today! Search for your representative via zip code, make a call expressing support five minutes is all it takes.)
Imagine children having no legal protection and restitution for abuse by their parents or babysitters or doctors. Would you stand by and let a child too helpless to fight back endure violations and trauma? Before the Child Abuse Prevention Act of 1974, there was no guideline for legal protection.
What about victims of domestic violence. Would it ever be your hope that an abused wife be told she had no legitimate grounds in a court of law? Hard to believe that the Violence Against Women Act didn't pass until 1994.
Looking back, these laws are no brainers. Why, then, would there be any hesitation in enacting standards for care and treatment of our elderly population? As baby boomers get on in years, the number of adults who will soon be needing treatment, housing and medical attention, who face the onset of dementia and disability, are increasing. The Elder Justice Act heading to Congress soon promises to be the first effort of its kind, establishing a framework for elder rights and protection.
The act works in three parts: provides awareness that the problem exists, educates on how to spot and report incidents, enables legal prosecution through funding. "First and more importantly," Matheson emphasizes,rolex oyster perpetual lady datejust replica, "what the Elder Justice Act does is make a national statement that it is vital that we as Americans protect the physical and economic security of our elders."
In the short film "An Age for Justice: Confronting Elder Abuse in America" Cynthia Borgstrom talks about her aunt, Vicky Bastion (pictured above), whose grandson made her feel so unsafe in her house that she installed a metal security door on her bedroom. Without the clarity to accept help from her niece, Bastion may never have initiated action on her own. Elders often feel frightened and threatened, ashamed or in denial and that's assuming they are still capable of fully understanding unsafe circumstances. In the video, Robin Sanow of Adult Protective Services (an organization that hopes for increased resources should the act pass) says, "We have so many cases . where a caregiver slowly takes over and the elderly person becomes the prisoner in their own home."

"Because I'm Old, She Thinks I'm Stupid."
Around the time that his father, James, began showing signs of dementia, Bob Lee wasn't able to spend as much time as he'd have liked in the same town. Unable to manage his dad's daily needs, he hired a friend his dad's next door neighbor Fenita Caldwell to help run errands, take him to the doctor, be a near by source of support. He found comfort in knowing that his dad was not alone.
Meanwhile, 46 year old Caldwell was telling friends she was on her way to being "the next Anna Nicole Smith," using the elder Lee's rent checks to pay for her weekend getaways and dragging him to a jewelry shop to charge a diamond ring and Rolex watch. Her spending sprees slid by Bob for months; James believed there was nothing he could do.
The younger Lee was shocked at the impending turn of events: "She actually filed charges against me with a social worker, saying I wasn't taking care of my dad," Bob told Tonic. "I tell him the truth and they send out a social worker from Santa Cruz Adult Protective Services. She actually sits down and interviews my dad without any comments from me and gets the true story of what happened here that he didn't give permission for his credit card, that he thought the checks were for rent, she took him down to the jewelry store . "
And even with this direct testimony, the case dragged on. According to Lee, the legal fees ended up costing him upward of $10,000. He told Tonic that the result was a 30 day jail sentence and three years probation restricting Caldwell's time spent with anyone over 65 mild consequences for, Lee puts it, breaking James' spirit and his heart. The Elder Justice Act would allow more funding for prosecutions and stricter sentences for penalties.
The saving grace in this case was James' period of lucidity and courage allowing him to speak honestly about the abuse. Had dementia, disorientation or shame kept him from revealing the facts to his son and his case worker, chances are there would be no grounds for prosecution and Fenita Caldwell would face no consequences for her crimes. Bob is certain that the ordeal cut his father's life short, telling Tonic that the violation of trust and loyalty had "basically worn down his desire to live."
Bob clearly remembers his father telling him: "Because I'm old, she thinks I'm stupid." There couldn't be a more false reflection for a man who'd survived Pearl Harbor while in the Navy, who never missed a day of work in 35 years working at the Yellow Pages, and who raised a son who won't stop fighting for his cause.
It's possible that we're in denial about our own states of mortality. Aging, fading capacities, loss of power and strength these are realities facing anyone who's fortunate enough to live a long life. All of the money and Botox in the world can't change that, but identifying the problem and taking action to address it can change our futures.
Part of the problem is the lack of clear definition of what elder abuse really is. Matheson admits that more often than not, people assume it is limited to beatings and physical violence. What we're learning, however, is the breadth of violations and injuries from financial, mental and emotional arenas that are equally as scarring. Elders are left spiritually bankrupt, psychologically defeated, and monetarily drained. A lifetime of hard work is pulled out from under them, leaving their next of kin with next to nothing. Worse yet,oyster perpetual rolex datejust replica, their sense of dignity is damaged and their will to live fades.
Consider these facts from the NCOA Elder Abuse Fact Sheet:
At least 11% of Americans over 60 years of age have experienced elder abuse this past year.
Researchers estimate that2.6 billion are lost annually as a result of financial abuse toward elders.
Five of six elder abuse cases go unreported. Not surprisingly,replica used rolex datejust, reported abuse cases are climbing every year as the elderly population grows.
Throughout the project, Matheson was approached by coworkers, friends and family members who shared stories of abuse directed to their elderly love ones. "It's not just a crime, it's not just a family member. If you really sit down and talk to anybody about this, you'll find that they've probably been touched by [elder abuse] somehow." She confides that her grandmother was abused by a scam artist who sold her two funerals as soon as she started getting dementia a story she never knew until long after the fact.
Seeing the Elder Justice Act pass would be, as Matheson puts it, "making the statement that we care, as a country. It provides federal leadership. It helps provide coordinated efforts between local, state and federal officials. It helps us understand elder abuse, it helps us prevent it, detect it where it's happening and prosecute when it does happen."

America's children are protected under the Child Abuse Prevention Act 1974,replica sell rolex oyster perpetual datejust; women's rights are ensured under the Violence Against Women Act of 1994. Why wouldn't our seniors have the same security? Now's the time to pass the Elder Justice Act. You can help.
Last week, news broke that residents at a California nursing home had been drugged to the point of oblivion and death by nurses who opted to mute their patients rather than address their needs. Flying under the radar since 2003, "caretakers" like nurse Gwen Hughes had been administering anti psychotics to sedate those they had committed to protect.
This method of shutting patients down has been likened to physical restraints now outlawed or ruled unethical, but officials turned on their blinders until reports that elderly patients were literally overdosed with lethal amounts. Here's a case of out of sight out of mind proof that denial and ignorance will continue to render the realities of elder abuse invisible until we force ourselves to see.
WITNESS is making sure we look. The powerful nonprofit that partners with NGOs around the world to visually document human rights abuses has set it's North American focus on the rights of elders in this country and the grave physical, emotional and financial assaults that happen every single day. The organization teamed with the National Council on Aging (NCOA) to help spread the truth about what they call "America's silent crisis." By arming constituents with the tools and training to create video testimonials, NCOA and WITNESS are making sure that policy makers see the faces and experience the stories that make ignoring impossible.
Kelly Matheson, WITNESS's Program Coordinator for North America, told Tonic, "It's an issue that affects all of us. Doesn't matter what our social or economic situation is. With the aging of the population, with the greying of America, the problem is only going to get worse. And with the economic downturn . it's only going to get worse."
"Call your representative and tell them to make sure that the Elder Justice Act is included in health reform legislation," Matheson says. "The Senate has done it; [the House needs] to do it too."
(Time is running out! Be sure to take action today! Search for your representative via zip code, make a call expressing support five minutes is all it takes.)

As with his earlier "Carnage" and "Death and the Maiden," "Venus in Fur" finds Roman Polanski transferring a New York stage hit to the screen with maximum fidelity and facility, and a minimum of fuss. Primarily a vehicle for Mrs. Polanski, Emmanuelle Seigner, who engulfs the screen with a juicy comic performance that does full justice to a demanding role, this playful and literate rumination on the fine line between passion and perversity, pleasure and pain, life and art should draw the attention.

Murder conviction upheld in killing of boxing champ
ATLANTA Georgia's highest court upheld the murder conviction and sentence of life in prison without parole for a man involved in the 2009 killing of former world boxing champion Vernon Forrest.

New manager says D backs have 'nucleus of great players'
PHOENIX Near the end of the 2015 season, Torey Lovullo took over as interim manager of the Boston Red Sox while John Farrell battled cancer.
It was an experience, he said, that made him "a little more prepared" to be a full time major league manager. But Lovullo promised to stay on as Red Sox bench coach for the 2016 season. He said he "wanted to make sure John was OK" before taking a manager's job.
The opportunity came when he was named Arizona Diamondbacks manager on Friday.
The Diamondbacks introduced Lovullo, their third manager in four seasons, at a Chase Field news conference Monday. He has a familiar boss. Former Red Sox assistant general manager Mike Hazen was hired as Arizona general manager three weeks ago.
"For me,used rolex datejust replica, it really couldn't have worked out any better," Lovullo said. "Coming from the organization that I came from, I learned a lot of special things from some really talented people. Certainly my connection with Mike was something I never wanted to lose."
The moment Hazen was hired, Lovullo became the odds on favorite to get the manager's job. But Hazen insisted their relationship "was not the overriding factor" in the hiring.
"This was a process," Hazen said, "a strong process, where we had a lot of strong candidates with different backgrounds, different levels of coaching experience, managerial experience. But ultimately Torey was the one who came out on top."
Hazen and Lovullo replace Dave Stewart and Chip Hale, who were fired after the team went 69 93 last season.
"I'm not going to get blinded by the fact the team won 69 games," Lovullo. "I'm more excited about the type of players we have, the culture that we're going to try to set here in the clubhouse and dugout."

It was an experience, he said, that made him "a little more prepared" to be a full time major league manager. But Lovullo promised to stay on as Red Sox bench coach for the 2016 season. He said he "wanted to make sure John was OK" before taking a manager's job.
The opportunity came when he was named Arizona Diamondbacks manager on Friday.
The Diamondbacks introduced Lovullo, their third manager in four seasons, at a Chase Field news conference Monday. He has a familiar boss. Former Red Sox assistant general manager Mike Hazen was hired as Arizona general manager three weeks ago.
"For me,used rolex datejust replica, it really couldn't have worked out any better," Lovullo said. "Coming from the organization that I came from, I learned a lot of special things from some really talented people. Certainly my connection with Mike was something I never wanted to lose."
The moment Hazen was hired, Lovullo became the odds on favorite to get the manager's job. But Hazen insisted their relationship "was not the overriding factor" in the hiring.
"This was a process," Hazen said, "a strong process, where we had a lot of strong candidates with different backgrounds, different levels of coaching experience, managerial experience. But ultimately Torey was the one who came out on top."
Hazen and Lovullo replace Dave Stewart and Chip Hale, who were fired after the team went 69 93 last season.
"I'm not going to get blinded by the fact the team won 69 games," Lovullo. "I'm more excited about the type of players we have, the culture that we're going to try to set here in the clubhouse and dugout."

governor trial asked about lawsuits
RICHMOND, Va. (AP) A defense attorney questioned the key witness in former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's corruption trial on Monday about lawsuits he and his former company face over allegations of securities violations.
The line of questioning is the latest effort by defense attorneys to challenge the credibility of former Star Scientific Inc. CEO Jonnie Williams, who is testifying against McDonnell and his wife,replica oyster rolex perpetual datejust, Maureen, under an immunity agreement.
The McDonnells are charged with accepting more than $165,000 in gifts and loans from Williams,replica mens rolex oyster perpetual datejust, the former CEO of dietary supplements maker Star Scientific Inc., in exchange for helping promote his company's products. They could face decades in prison if convicted.
Williams acknowledged Monday that Star faced about a half dozen shareholder lawsuits, calling them "nuisance suits." He also acknowledged that Star received a warning from federal regulators over Star's claims about its signature product.
Bob McDonnell's attorney,replica rolex datejust perpetual oyster, Henry Asbill, questioned Williams about his immunity agreement. He reminded Williams that he testified that a company's first responsibility is to stay in business.
"Would you agree the second rule of business is not to go to jail," Asbill asked. Said Williams: "I don't think any businessman wants to go to jail."
Asbill also sought to undermine Williams' claim that his relationship with the McDonnells was strictly business, noting that Williams had the governor call the businessman's father on his 80th birthday. Williams said he thought his spending on the McDonnells made that possible.
"This cost me, in my mind, hundreds of thousands of dollars even to be able to do that," he said.
Williams said last week that he and the McDonnells had a business relationship and were not personal friends. Defense attorneys sought last week to contradict that claim by noting that Williams and Maureen McDonnell exchanged more than 1,200 text messages and phone calls in less than two years.
Maureen McDonnell's attorney said in opening statements that the first lady developed a "crush" on Williams and was conned into believing he cared for her.
Williams has testified there was no romantic relationship, and he reiterated that Monday. He testified that he never had any intimate physical contact with McDonnell's wife. Williams said Monday that he didn't know Maureen McDonnell had any interest in him until last week.
He said Maureen McDonnell requested many of the gifts including a $20,replica rolex oyster perpetual datejust gold,000 shopping spree for designer clothes in Manhattan and a Rolex watch for her husband as well as a $50,000 to bail the couple out of financial trouble. Williams said Bob McDonnell asked for an additional $20,000 loan later.
