WINNER: James Grierson and Josh Greer shake hands after Grierson's 2&1 win.
Tuesday's qualifying mark came as a relief for NSW State team captain James Grierson. Ironically, it was the first time in several attempts that he had made it to the matchplay rounds at the NSW Amateur.
"It's been a long day but I'm happy. It's always nice to get the first couple of matches out of the way.
"This tournament has been a monkey on my back. It's nice to take it off," Grierson beamed after dispatching the well regarded West Australian, Josh Greer 2&1.
Earlier, Grierson had his 'first' win in the NSW amateur against up-and-coming Newcastle junior Jacob Dundas 5&3. Greer, however, was a far tougher opponent.
Grierson is pretty happy with his golf this week, some mental work and confidence in his long game is beginning to pay dividends.
"I've been working hard, and it's nice to have some confidence. The work I have done mentally is helping, so it feels nice."
As for tomorrow. Grierson is looking forward to going even deeper into the knockout rounds.
"I love playing match play and am looking forward to whoever I have play next," he added.
Australian Amateur runner-up Nathan Barbieri, Lucas Higgins of Murwillumbah and Bonnie Doon's James Grierson are the sole male NSW representatives left standing after the first day of the NSW Amateur match play rounds at Terrey Hills Golf and Country Club.
Barbieri continued his recent stellar form, accounting for England's Matty Lamb in the morning session 1-up before claiming the scalp of another Englishman, Callan Barrow, 2&1 late this afternoon.
With Fox TV personality and former NRL star Braith Anasta on his bag for the duration of the day, Barbieri played with a level of composure and looks ready to go one step better than last week.
"A very long day, I didn't want to go the full 18 this afternoon, but he pushed me there, so I'm happy I got the win.
Barbieri explained the relationship with Anasta was forged through his father, Ernie, who worked with the former NRL star at Fox.
"Dad used to work with him at Fox Sports.
"He's just a great bloke; he's helping me out a lot which is good.
"He can hit a ball too; he has some golf knowledge.
"We had a great chat all day, and we just had to switch on when the shot is on, and when it's not just talking about whatever," Barbieri said.
Barbieri will face gun Queenslander Jed Morgan in tomorrow's semi-final, a task he knows will be a tough one. He understands what he has to do and doesn't think the game plan will need too much adjusting.
"Keep doing the same thing, play smart off the tee and give myself as many chances as I can," he smiled.
England's Emily Toy has gone down gallantly to Queensland's Sarah Lee in the first round of the Women's NSW Amateur at Terrey Hills Golf and Country Club.
Lee, 17, speaking through an interpreter described her win as a great result.
"I was mentally strong today, and I played well," she smiled.
"Emily was good. It was a difficult match to win."
Lee will now face the formidable Grace Kim, who made short work of the young kiwi Fiona Xu 6&4.
"It will be very tough," Lee smiled.
In other results, Australian Master of the Amateurs Champion Stephanie Kyriacou made short work of Carmen Lim, winning 6&5, while England's Cara Gainer kept the English colours flying with a 4&3 win over Doey Choi.
Kyriacou was happy with her win.
"I am hitting it really good, and I have myself heaps of birdie looks. I rolled a few in early and it got me off to a good start.
"I was four up through four," Kyriacou said.
The Women's quarter-final action will begin tomorrow at 7.40am.
Local favourites Josh Armstrong and Jordie Garner have been bundled out of the 2019 Amateur after the conclusion of the morning matchplay.
Armstrong was never in his match against India's Kartik Sharma, going down 4&3 in one of the more surprising results.
Garner, who was set to go a few steps better than last week's loss to his mate Blake Windred, had no answer for Canada's Josh Whalen.
Wollongong's Thomas Heaton looked like causing the biggest upset of the day, with a two-up lead over medallist Joey Savoie after nine holes, but he was unable to maintain the edge over his much more experienced opponent.
Other results saw James Conran stage a late fightback against Connor McKinney before going down on the last, while Royal Canberra's Jordan Ayre went down after 21 holes to Indonesia's Emerald Ramadhanputra.
Play has resumed at the NSW Amateur after a one hour lightning delay and with some matches producing surprising results. Connor McKinney has a three hole lead over Orange product James Conran, while Canberra's Jordan Ayre holds a one hole lead over Indonesia's Emarald Ramadhanputra.
The women's matches get under way at 11.03 am.
The NSW Amateur has reached the match play rounds.
Unable to be seperated after six holes last night, Thomas Heaton managed to overcome Tom Sloman after another three holes to grab the final spot in the men's field.
Stay tuned for more throughout the day.

US lawmakers have asked the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to provide information about two potentially "catastrophic" safety concerns involving the 737 Max and 787
Cesare de Villiers Nov 13, 2019 News 0 Comments
A 7 November letter to FAA administrator Stephen Dickson from the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, lays out the concerns, which involve rudder cable protection on the 737 Max and the 787's lightning protection.
"Both appear to involve serious, potentially catastrophic safety concerns raised by FAA technical specialists that FAA management ultimately overruled after Boeing objected", says the letter. "These incidents raise questions about how the agency weighs the validity of safety issues raised by its own experts compared to objections raised by the aircraft manufacturers."
Signed by committee chair Peter DeFazio and aviation subcommittee chair Rick Larsen, the letter asks Dickson to explain why the agency approved both systems despite internal FAA opposition. DeFazio and Larsen are both Democrats.
The FAA declines to comment to FlightGlobal, saying, "We will respond directly to the chairman".
Boeing says it "is aware of both issues raised in" the letter.
"We are confident that each was properly considered and addressed by Boeing, thoroughly reviewed with and approved by the FAA, and handled in full compliance with the processes governing review and disposition of such issues," the company adds.
The letter questions the "adequacy" of the 737's Max's rudder cable protection, and whether the cable could by severed in the case of an uncontained engine failure.
The FAA's Transport Airplane Directorate in 2014 sent a memo to the FAA's Aircraft Certification Service saying the Max's rudder cable had inadequate protection and noting Boeing had agreed to comply with 1997 guidance issued by the FAA in response to the deadly 1989 crash of a United Airlines aircraft near Sioux City, Iowa.
But, Boeing "objected to making changes to the design of the 737 Max rudder cable, arguing that changes would be impractical and noting the company's concern about the potential impact on resources and programme schedules", the House letter says.
The FAA in 2016 offered Boeing the ability to comply with regulations without design changes, though six FAA "specialists" refused to support that decision, the letter says.
An FAA safety review panel took up the matter. It concluded the FAA had insufficient information to determine if the 737 Max rudder protection complied with regulations. It also found that design changes were indeed a practical means of compliance, the letter says.
"Despite these concerns, the 737 Max gained certification from the FAA two months later, in March 2017," the letter says.
It also calls attention to changes Boeing made to the 787's lightning protection system. The company removed copper foil from part of the aircraft's wing, which "could result in significantly higher conducted currents… as well as increase the number of ignition sources in the fuel tanks", the letter says.
"Multiple FAA specialists" objected to that change, believing it failed to comply with regulations. Likewise, the FAA office that oversees Boeing rejected the change in February 2019.
Boeing appealed that rejection, and in March the FAA reversed its decision, greenlighting Boeing's change, the letter says.
The rudder and lightning protection cases suggest that the opinions of FAA experts were "circumvented or sidelined" in favour of Boeing's wishes, the letter says.
It asks the FAA's Dickson to explain why the agency overruled its own specialists and to address concern that manufacturers might sidestep FAA specialists by appealing directly to senior FAA managers.
The lawmakers asked Dickson to respond by 21 November.

International expert Peter McCornick named next Water for Food Institute executive director
Peter McCornick, an internationally known expert in water, food and environmental research, has been named the next executive director of the Robert B. Daugherty Water for Food Institute at the University of Nebraska, University of Nebraska President Hank Bounds announced today.
McCornick is currently deputy director general for research at the International Water Management Institute in Colombo, Sri Lanka, one of the world's foremost institutions dedicated to improving management of water and land resources to ensure food security and reduce poverty. He will succeed Roberto Lenton, who became the WFI's founding executive director in 2012 and has led the institute through early phases of growth and success.
McCornick will assume his new role on Sept. 1.
"There is perhaps no more urgent challenge facing the world today than sustainably feeding the growing global population," Bounds said. "The University of Nebraska, through our Water for Food Institute, is uniquely positioned to lead the way in developing solutions. We are fortunate to have attracted someone with Peter McCornick's reputation and expertise to the executive director position. His deep knowledge of water and agricultural development in global contexts and his strong leadership skills will accelerate the impact the institute is making in ensuring water and food security in Nebraska and around the world."
McCornick said, "Roberto set the stage for the Water for Food Institute's global reach. I appreciate the tremendous work he has done in developing a strong team and growing the institute from an idea to a fully operational research center that is truly making a difference in improving water and food security for generations to come. I look forward to working with the University of Nebraska leaders, faculty and staff, as well as its many partners in the U.S. and internationally, to advance the institute's achievements and impact."
McCornick is among the featured speakers at the 2016 Water for Food Global Conference, which is April 24-26 at Nebraska Innovation Campus in Lincoln. The annual conference, which regularly attracts hundreds of scholars, policy experts, farmers and ranchers, and others from around the world, is a keystone of the institute's efforts to share knowledge and affect change. Registration for this year's event, titled "Catalytic Collaborations: Building Public-Private Partnerships for Water and Food Security," is open until April 18.
In his role at the International Water Management Institute, McCornick has already worked closely with the WFI on research projects and events. He was instrumental in developing a Memorandum of Understanding between the two organizations that opened new opportunities for collaboration.
"Peter's familiarity with WFI and how we leverage the university's expertise and extend it through strong international partnerships is a tremendous advantage, as is his extensive experience in agricultural water management both in the U.S. and overseas," Lenton said. "He is well known and respected among international leaders in water, agriculture and the environment, and is ideally placed to help take the institute to even greater levels of success."
Ronnie Green, University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor-elect, Vice Chancellor for the Institute of Agriculture and Natural Resources, and Interim Senior Vice Chancellor of Academic Affairs said: "We had a highly competitive and thorough international search to identify candidates after Roberto announced his planned transition from the position last year. I'm very pleased with the search committee's work in attracting exceptional candidates and identifying Peter as the ideal person to expand the institute's role as a global leader in water and food security through research and policy, education and communication."
McCornick has dedicated his career to improving the understanding of sustainable management of water resources. He has led research and development programs on water, agriculture and the environment in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and the United States. His areas of interest include water and food security, the water-food-energy nexus, water reuse, irrigation management, and water and climate adaptation. McCornick earned his doctorate degree in agricultural engineering from Colorado State University, is a licensed professional civil engineer in the State of Colorado, a member of the American Academy of Water Resources Engineers, and a senior fellow at Duke University's Nicholas Institute for Environmental Policy Solutions. He has published widely and regularly presents at major international events. McCornick was born in Scotland and grew up on a livestock and dairy farm.
Water for Food Institute Board Chair Jeff Raikes said: "I am grateful for Roberto's leadership as he has built a globally recognized institute for the critical nexus of water productivity and food security. As we started the search process for Roberto's successor, we aspired to find the right individual to take the wheel and guide the institute through its next phase of development. We are very fortunate to have found that leader – Peter McCornick."

CHICAGO — Slightly more than a minute remained to be played before the PepsiCo Showdown championship game went to penalty kicks, or the ultimate in chance. Meanwhile, Lyons' Adrian Valadez torqued his body to make sure he was not offsides.
Working a sharp 2-on-1 with midfielder Charles Hall, Valadez collected the ball on the right wing as Libertyville freshman keeper Thomas Pearson jumped off the line to try and cut off the Lion's superior angle.
"I saw the back of the net and the goalkeeper coming at me," he said. "I put the ball in the back of the net with my foot."
The senior forward cut the ball past the the fast-rushing Pearson and watched it slide inside the near post in the 89th minute as the Lions, ranked no. 7 in the Chicagoland Soccer Top 25, completed the dramatic comeback with the 2-1 double overtime victory for the title in front of an estimated crowd of 600 Sunday at Wish Field on the Lincoln Park campus of DePaul University.
Valadez earned the Chicagoland Soccer Man of the match distinction for his championship finish.
Lyons (10-3-1) overcame a late 1-0 deficit to win its first Pepsi tournament title since the 2012 side beat Morton. Lyons avenged its 2011 title loss against the Wildcats, as well as last year's runner-up finish to Morton on penalty kicks.
"I looked to the sidelines to see if I was ... off, but I wasn't," Valadez said. "I put my body in the right position, and I just did it."
After Hall slotted the ball to the streaking Valadez, he was calm and composed as he deftly advanced the ball. "I've scored many goals like that," he said. "The play just came to me, and I had to put it in the back of the net.
"I just wanted to make sure I didn't miss."
The two programs came into the title game hungry. Both were coming off difficult shutout losses against elite competition after Hinsdale Central beat the Lions 2-0 and Warren administered a 1-0 defeat of the Wildcats.
A scoreless first half witnessed the teams trading some dominant runs. Lyons failed to convert on a throw in that saw Libertyville starting keeper Brant Kym out of position only for the Lions to miss the open net. "I thought we played very well the first 25 minutes, and we could have scored one or two goals there," Nick Economou said. "Unfortunately we weren't able to do that, but we were still able to come back."
Libertyville (8-3-0) strung together some sharp combination and counter actions in the final 10 minutes of the first half. Midfielder Nate Edmunds was typically dangerous on set pieces. "Fortunately our defenders were able to win the balls in the air, but there were definitely a lot of them," Lyons keeper Donald Darrus said.
The Wildcats, ranked fourth in the latest Chicagoland Soccer poll, survived the Lions' early onslaught and staged some striking runs of their own. "The atmosphere was unlike anything I've ever experienced as an athlete who's played the game my entire life," Edmunds said. "Having our whole school there watching the game was incredible."
Libertyville broke through in the 64th minute as Edmunds worked the left edge and delivered a blistering ball that Darrus made a lunging stop. The ball repelled toward a streaking freshman forward Ryan Wittenbrink for the tap in rebound. "It was a learning experience," Libertyville midfielder Kevin Reilly said. "I thought we played a great game, and so did the other team. They finished their chances and we didn't get on the end of ours.
"After we scored all of our confidence went up. I thought we controlled the game pretty well after our goal, but after they put in on their goal things just leveled out and it was a constant battle."
Lyons has made a dramatic habit of coming back from deficits. The Lions trailed Burlington Central with 25 minutes remaining in the first round play before rallying for three goals. "Our motto is we don't panic," Economou said.
After several tantalizing balls hit the post or were pushed wide, the Lions created the equalizer in the 68th minute as Economou elevated and flicked a header off an Isaiah Nieves service from just inside midfield. "The ball was played perfectly to the front post and I was just lucky to be there," Economou said. "I put it in a spot where the keeper couldn't get it."
Lyons coach Paul Labbato said the team's focus has sharpened when confronting a deficit. The team has played high level competition and is prepared for any exigency. "There's strong leadership on the team and a lot of belief that we can come come back.
"Also we have played in a lot of big games. When we hit a groove in the second half we're pretty difficult to stop."
Economou credited a formation change from a 4-3-3 to a more offensively-directed 3-5-2 "We've gotten more chances and defensively we haven't had a problem with any teams switching from four defenders to three," he said.
Just 1:14 remained in the second five-minute overtime before Valadez ended the game. Sixth-seed Libertyville was disappointed by the outcome though spirited by its own grit, toughness and discipline. "We have played eight games in two weeks, and we're a little tired," Libertyville coach Andrew Bitta said.
"We'll go back to the drawing board and work on a few things we saw in the video and get better. Every one of our losses this year has been to a ranked team. The effort we gave was tremendous, and I'm very proud of the boys."

20th June 2011 — Philippines — Phillippine Dogs
Journeying North - Manila pt 2
This is the second entry in my diary from our recent visit to the Philippines, covering our trip to Baguio City, north of Manila, to explore the final destination of dogs captured for their meat.
Dubbed by a government official as the 'dog meat capital of Asia', Baguio is one of the main destinations for dogs captured to the south of Manila. We traced the journey of the dog meat traders in order to get there, which involves six hours of crowded roads populated by dilapidated vehicles, motorbikes carrying multiple people in their side cars and breathtaking scenes of paddy fields, water buffalo and roadside videoke bars. Baguio is a popular holiday resort as it sits high in the mountains and enjoys a more moderate temperature compared to Manila. As our visit was in monsoon season, we were welcomed by pounding rain as we navigated the winding mountain roads on the approach to the city.
The objective of our trip to Baguio was to meet with the mayor to discuss the dog meat trade and the existence of dog meat restaurants and markets operating in flagrant violation of the law.
We woke early so that we could inspect local dog meat restaurants and the market. Our first stop at a restaurant next to the central bus station was an eye opener; a dog head, a large bowl of cooked dog paws known as "spare parts' and organs were openly displayed in the kitchen.
The chef informed us that the head had been blow torched to remove the hair and the teeth brushed to improve the appearance. As we asked questions and snapped pictures, the owner arrived behind us and the mood immediately intensified as it became apparent that we were not innocent tourists looking for lunch. We quickly left, passing a man plucking a live chicken.
We moved on to the market, but despite our early arrival, it turned out that the dog meat traders had already left, likely because they had been alerted to our inspection. The ominously discarded dog meat stand amongst bustling butchers selling everything from whole cow heads to chicken feet was evidence that we had missed our target so we hurried on to the mayor's office. Because the mayor was ill, we ended up meeting with the vice mayor. Friendly and informed on the dog meat issue, he offered his assistance in tackling the dog meat trade although we were left feeling unconvinced that the issue was anywhere near a top priority for his department.
We departed Baguio and returned south, lost in recollections about what we had seen in the city. The piles of bones, the brushed teeth on the dog and the blatant disregard of regulations relating to the sale of dog meat symbolized the uphill struggle that we face in trying to end the dog meat trade in the Philippines. However, being able to follow the dogs' journey from urban stray to dinner plate delicacy was an important fact-finding mission and provided vital inspiration for our campaign.

Here Chang Siu Tai (Alexander Fu Sheng) is the son of Master Chang (played by Ku Feng), a renowned chiropractor/bone-setter operating a clinic in a poor neighborhood in an unidentified city in early 20th century China. Siu Tai works for his father and studies bone-setting and kung fu under him, but gets into lots of trouble, especially after white foreigners and their westernized Chinese enablers descend on the town in hopes of acquiring a valuable statue of the Goddess of Mercy on display at a local Buddhist temple.

Siluo F (br) wrote: Offer for love Connie Murray's soundtrack is a great highlight of the film, he and Giuseppe Tornatore's classic combination is still full of charm, the old profitable actor Geoffrey Rush's performance is quite exciting.The present among many pieces still shows Tornatore personal style, most notably Giuseppe Tornatore will be reflected on the character and emotions ignited excavated, as all his previous film, the characters true to life and humane. Though the slow process of the film may let it lose some impatient audience it still worth to take a look. The best way to deceive a person, is to let yourself into him. In fact, the "illness" of Claire is an exaggerated amplification of the old man, so how can't he bite the enticement? The whole film is asking one question.How much would a people pay to save himself from the moment of loneliness and self-pity?

Erik P (fr) wrote: The story and plot is actually much better than 2012. Unfortunately, it didn't get the budget and acting 2012 did so it comes off as overly melodramatic sci-fi channel stuff. If you can tolerate indie-style low-budget films, it's worth watching. The FX aren't actually that bad, but the transitions, direction, and acting prevent the film from whipping you up into its reality.
Chris B (ca) wrote: An entertaining heist movie with some good plot twists. Denzel Washington carries this film from start to finish with a good supporting cast as well. Clive Owen, Jodie Foster, William Dafoe, Christopher Plummer, and Chiwetel Ejiofor are all good as well. This is a good addition to the bank robbing genre. Good job Spike Lee.

Dylan D (ru) wrote: Mission: Impossible is a breath of fresh air in a world of generally mindless summer blockbusters that require little in the way of thought on behalf of the audience. Generally, all that is required is the decision on what size popcorn and soft drink to buy in the lobby, but in this case, the film delivers plenty of impressive visual stunts and action framed smartly around a plot that dares to move past the mundane, offering a genuinely mysterious narrative that lends both credence and importance to the action. Unfortunately, the latter two films in the series, particularly the second, veer more towards straight Action with minimal plotting, but cinephiles will undoubtedly enjoy De Palma's somewhat avant-garde style of filmmaking found here, particularly as it is combined with elements that make it, superficially, a summer popcorn movie.

Kesha Warns Her Career Will Be Over Without Injunction Against Dr. Luke
9/21/2015 by Eriq Gardner
Eugene Gologursky/WireImage
Kesha attends the DKNY - Front Row & Backstage - Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2015 on February 15, 2015 in New York City.
Sony Music also weighs in on the dispute for the first time.
Some clarity could be coming in the legal battle between pop star Kesha Rose Sebert and songwriter-producer Dr. Luke (Lukasz Gottwald). That's because on Friday, Kesha pushed for a preliminary injunction, meaning that a New York judge will soon have to make a determination if she is likely to succeed on the merits of a claim that her recording contracts are void.
The dispute erupted last October when Kesha claimed to have been the victim of rampant abuse by Dr. Luke, including an instance where he allegedly drugged and raped her. The producer filed his own claims against Kesha, painting the dispute as an attempt to extort him in order to extricate her from contracts with Luke's Kemosabe Records label, housed under Sony.
Dr. Luke has so far prevailed in getting this dispute adjudicated in New York rather than California. Now comes the the big action.
In court papers on Friday, Kesha's attorney Mark Geragos tells the judge why a determination is needed soon.
"Until this Court rules on the declaratory judgment claim, Kesha is at an impasse," states a memorandum supporting an injunction that would bar Dr. Luke from interfering with her signing with another label. "She cannot work with music producers, publishers, or record labels to release new music. With no new music to perform, Kesha cannot tour. Off the radio and stage and out of the spotlight, Kesha cannot sell merchandise, receive sponsorships, or get media attention. Her brand value has fallen, and unless the Court issues this injunction, Kesha will suffer irreparable harm, plummeting her career past the point of no return."
In support, Kesha has submitted an affidavit from Jim Urie, who was president and CEO of Universal Music Group Distribution from 2003 until this past January. He agrees that without an injunction, her career is toast. "No mainstream distribution company will invest the money necessary to distribute songs for an artist who has fallen from the public eye, as is happening to Kesha at this very moment," he says. "Accordingly, if Kesha cannot immediately resume recording and having her music promoted, marketed, and distributed by a major label, her career is effectively over."
Kesha herself has submitted an affidavit that repeats her story of her decade-old relationship with Dr. Luke, plus adds some new allegations. They met after she turned 18. She says that on one occasion, they went to a party and she had drinks. Later, he allegedly gave her a "sober pill," and Kesha says she woke up later in his bed.
In her latest affidavit, she also says that he "took credit for songs he didn't write, for a television show he didn't actually produce" and on one occasion after he allegedly decided Kesha wasn't a good enough lyricist, he had Will.i.am write a verse for her to sing. "I know I cannot work with Dr. Luke," she says. "I physically cannot. I don't feel safe in any way."
"We are confident this motion will be denied because it is without merit," says a spokesperson for Dr. Luke in a statement. "Kesha continues to make the same false claims of abuse against Dr. Luke she testified never happened under penalty of perjury. As with all pleadings in this case, her affidavit is vague and unsubstantiated, with pivotal details such as dates fudged, and notably fails to address her unequivocal prior sworn testimony to the contrary."
Meanwhile, Sony is weighing in on the case for the first time. The company tells the judge it has been "caught in the crossfire."
After Kesha sued Dr. Luke, she amended her claims to include the charge that Sony supported and ratified his behavior. She alleges that the music giant puts female artists "in physical danger by giving Dr. Luke full creative and business control
Sony and Kemosabe are demanding the dismissal of such claims, echoing Dr. Luke by calling it a "transparent and misguided attempt to renegotiate her contracts."
In its papers, besides arguing that the her claims provide no basis for corporate liability and would be time-barred nonetheless, Sony points to Kesha's admission that Dr. Luke allegedly bullied her into silence.
"This admission — that Sebert never spoke of or reported the alleged misconduct — is fatal to each and every one of her claims against Sony and Kemosabe Records," argues the dismissal motion. "In short, Sebert cannot have it both ways: She cannot claim that Gottwald intimidated her into silence, then — as an apparent afterthought — seek to hold Sony and Kemosabe Records liable for failing to act on conduct that she did not report."
A spokesperson for Dr. Luke adds, "If Kesha now regrets her career being mired in legal proceedings, it's entirely her making. It was Kesha who chose to file a lawsuit falsely alleging abuse to gain advantage in contract negotiations, and now she must accept the consequences of her improper actions. As long as she continues to stand by her false claims of abuse against Dr. Luke and remains in breach of her contracts, he will continue to protect his professional and personal reputation, as well as his contractual rights, in a court of law. He looks forward to obtaining judgments in his favor."

Goodyear recently introduced the WeatherReady tire to perform in all weather conditions. The tire provides confident traction in rain, wet, sleet or snow and is Goodyear's best all-weather traction tire yet.
With several stability-enhancing features – from Weather Reactive Technology™ to Severe Snow Certification and Tredlock Technology® – Goodyear's WeatherReady tire is an innovative solution for drivers to handle Mother Nature's worst.
Earlier this year, Earnhardt Jr. and Goodyear teamed up to provide Vietnam and Gulf War Veteran Paul Siverson with a surprise ride in the Goodyear Blimp "piloted" by Dale.

Cody Beals' Ironman debut in Mont-Tremblant, QC, couldn't have gone any better. He set the bike course record and beat one of Canadians best Ironman triathletes, Lionel Sanders.
Six weeks after the win, Beals has had time to recover and is ready for IRONMAN Chattanooga on September 30th. After a season full of 70.3 wins (Taiwan, Victoria and Eagleman) and a memorable first Ironman, Beals got the itch to do one more Ironman to close out his season.
Heading into the race this weekend, Beals took the time to share his thoughts on 2018, his Ironman debut victory and IRONMAN Chattanooga.
TMC: Following your big win in Mont Tremblant, what have you been up to?
CB: I've been riding a wave of positive energy after Mont Tremblant. I recovered well and found some of my best fitness within a couple weeks of the race. With just six weeks between IRONMAN Mont Tremblant and Chattanooga, I've been focusing on recovering and maintaining fitness, not putting in a huge training block.
TMC: Why Chattanooga after Mont-Tremblant?
CB: The timing of Chattanooga was perfect for me. I've learned that I retain fitness very well with relatively light training towards the end of the season. Six weeks is plenty of time to recover, but not so long that I risk losing much fitness without continued hard training. Another factor was the outstanding IRONMAN Now Facebook live coverage. Both Tremblant and Chattanooga are among select events with outstanding live coverage and commentary. The response from fans and sponsors from my exposure at Mont Tremblant underscored how valuable this coverage can be.
TMC: And why another Ironman and not a few halves?
CB: My plan all along was to wait until after Tremblant before laying plans for the fall. I considered the option of another Ironman or a few 70.3 races. After Tremblant, I swore that I wouldn't race another Ironman anytime soon, but the memory of the trauma soon faded and I was left with only positive memories of the experience. I'm eager to translate the fitness I showed in Tremblant into another big performance to cap off the season.
TMC: How do you approach a race that you expect to challenge for the win?
CB: Coming off my Tremblant win and three other 70.3 wins in 2018, it's certainly a shift to be viewed as a race favourite. In the past, I've often benefited from flying under the radar to some extent, which is definitely lower pressure. I'm also no stranger to the burden of expectation, having won Eagleman for the third time in June. I'm at my best when I'm focused on my process and present mental state, not getting hung up on outcomes.
TMC: The field this weekend doesn't have the big names as Mont-Tremblant (or the Canadian connection). Who are you keeping an eye on this Sunday?
CB: The start list in Chattanooga may be less top heavy than Tremblant, but I think there's greater depth. I don't obsess over start lists, especially late in the season when many athletes won't even make it to the start line and others will be tired, injured or unfocused. That said, my list of podium contenders includes the ever consistent Matt Russell, "Smokin'" Joe Gambles, previous winner Kirill Kotsegarov, the German Stefan Schmid, and recent IM Wales Champ Matt Trautman. I also wouldn't be surprised to see Chris McDonald, Adam Otstot, Stephen Kilshaw, Michael Patrick Alonso Mckernan and Patrick Mckeon in the mix.
TMC: Are there any objectives you're looking to hit during the race?
CB: We just learned that the swim will be cancelled due to heavy rains, high currents and flooding. Parts of the run course are still underwater. I'm awaiting more information on the revised race format. With that in mind, I'm eager ride under Marino Vanhoenacker's bike course record of 4:27. I'd also be thrilled to run sub-2:50, which I believe has only ever been done by my friend Matt Hanson when he won in 2014.
TMC: What does a great day in Chattanooga on September 30th look like for you?
CB: My goal in Chattanooga is the same as Mont-Tremblant: I want to win in style!
Cody Beals sets bike course record at IRONMAN Mont-Tremblant 2018.
