Are you drowsy during the day with no explanation? Do you snore loudly or wake up breathless in the middle of the night? If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, you may be one of more than twelve-million Americans who are affected by sleep apnea.
The most common type of sleep apnea is obstructive sleep apnea. It occurs due to a physical blockage, usually the collapsing of the soft tissue in the back of the throat. Another form of sleep apnea is central sleep apnea (CSA), in which the breathing stops because the muscles involved don't receive the proper signal from the brain but this is less common.
The first line of treatment in obstructive sleep apnea is an oral appliance. This small plastic device fits in the mouth during sleep like a sports mouth guard or orthodontic retainer. Oral appliances help prevent the collapse of the tongue and soft tissues in the back of the throat, keeping the airway open during sleep and promoting adequate air intake. Patients report that an oral appliance is much more preferable to the CPAP that is typically recommended. Oral appliances may be used alone or in combination with other treatments for sleep-related breathing disorders, such as weight management, surgery or CPAP. In cases where the patient has severe obstructive sleep apnea it is typically preferable to go straight to a CPAP.
If you already have a diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea, call and schedule a free consult and we will determine if we think that an oral appliance would be the right treatment choice for you. If you haven't had a diagnosis made then we can refer you to the proper sleep specialist to determine what and to what extent the problem is.


One thing to be aware of if you plan to use typed datasets with Oracle and SQLServer, is the way in which Oracle and SQL Server handle type mapping for Numeric types.
A SQL Server INT is mapped to an Int32 when using the SQL Server provider, however an Oracle NUMER(10,0) is mapped to an Int64 when using the Oracle ODP provider. I haven't tried it but I suspect that if I changed to Oracle NUMBER type to NUMBER(9,0) it might then map to an Int32, but thats a lot of changes and NUMBER(10,0) is something of a standard, at least where I'm working now.
Anyway I only mention this because its caught me out too many times, my solution is to change the schema of the typed dataset from Int to Long, SQL Server is happy because it's promoting an Int to a Long, Oracles happy because there is no typed conversion issue.

It's a blow for the historic plant in Cowley, southeast Oxford, British media say after becoming home to Europe's first mass-produced electric car in 2019.

Q: File Writing using fopen_s() & fseek() with SEEK_END Situation
I'm trying to programatically write some code to a file to then be compiled. I need to be able to add code in without replacing the whole file. I have a } on the end of the file, which I need to remove to be able to add the next lot of code, after which the } is readded.
My code is currently thus:
    //Writes from an offset from the end of a file.
    static bool Write(const char *FilePath, const char *Text)
    {
        FILE *f;
        errno_t error;
        int seekerror;
        if (!(error = fopen_s(&f, FilePath, "w")))
        {
            //one byte offset from the end of the file.
            if (!(seekerror = fseek(f, -1, SEEK_END)))
            {
                fwrite(Text, sizeof(char), strlen(Text), f);
                fclose(f);
                return true;
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

Issue
I believe the w and a flags override the pointer location from fseek()? So I don't seem to be able to overwrite the } at the end of the file.
Does anyone know how I'd be able to write from an offset using SEEK_END?

A: Don't use "w" mode for fopen, use "r+" instead.
"r" - Opens a file for reading. The file must exist.
"w" - Creates an empty file for writing. If a file with the same name already
exists, its content is erased and the file is considered as a new empty file.
"a" - Appends to a file. Writing operations, append data at the end of the
file. The file is created if it does not exist.
"r+" - Opens a file to update both reading and writing. The file must exist.
"w+" - Creates an empty file for both reading and writing.
"a+" - Opens a file for reading and appending.

I need'nt have got upset about my weight since the bloody Wii fit scales are WRONG!!! When I stepped on the Wii fit weighing scales, it noted that I was edging on 6 stone at 7st 1 but I decided to try the REAL weighing scales in the kitchen and it turns out im 7st 7. which isn't that big a drop from 8stone 3 that I was after all the PEG feeds and dropping to 3 nights a week.

Home Interviews Country Artist Christie Huff on California Country and Female Influences
Country Artist Christie Huff on California Country and Female Influences
GGM Staff
Los Angeles emerging country artist Christie Huff fell in love with country music while a child in Arizona. Spending time between Los Angeles and Nashville, she has spent her time co-writing and creating music.
Huff has performed at the legendary Hotel Café, The Mint, and The Viper Room. She has had the opportunity to open for famed country artists like Jason Aldean, Billy Currington, Kip Moore, Toby Keith, and Bebe Rexha.
Huff's latest single, "Love-Ish," about new love, received 67,000 streams in its first week. Huff found her Spotify success with her first single, "Urban Love," followed by "Black and White" which streamed over 3 million.
Huff fills us in on her new single, California Country, and women that have played an important role in her life.
Tell us about your new single, "Love-Ish," which we love!
My new single "Love-Ish" is about the beginning of a relationship and just enjoying the company of a new love. Just seeing where it could lead and the excitement of the new possibility of love!
What was the songwriting process for the single?
The Songwriting process for "Love-Ish" happened so naturally! I got in the room with my co-writers, whom I really look up to, Mark Irwin and Aaron Eshuis. We started talking about life and dating, and I told them about a new relationship. I said, 'it's not love, but it's love-ish.' Aaron said he knew instantly that was what we were writing about!
We recently ran an article on California Country music and artists. What drew you to this genre?
I've always been drawn to country music; growing up, that's all I listened to. It is the storytelling aspect (of country music) that I love so much and really resonates with me. I recorded my first two albums in Nashville and then moved to LA shortly after, so California/Country just came natural. I think that continuing to grow and work in LA helped influence my new sound of Country/Pop and the California/Country community is very welcoming. I'm so glad that I've been able to immerse myself in both LA and Nashville!
You spend a lot of time between LA and Nashville, which you refer to as your second home. It's heartbreaking to see the devastation that recently struck the Nashville community. Being that you spend so much time there and know the community so well, what can people do to help?
Yes, I consider Nashville to be my second home, it's absolutely devastating to see all the damage done from the tornado. What's wonderful about Nashville and the community is that they stick together and support each other, whether that be in music or tragedy. It has been incredible to see the community join together to clean up and rebuild. There is no other community like the Nashville community. If you are in Nashville, there are so many different ways to serve and volunteer to help those affected by the tornado. Cleanup crews, if you have a spare room, you can offer that to people in need, donating food and hygiene products.
I unfortunately, haven't had the chance to be in Nashville since the tornado, but what's amazing about this day and age is to see the support via social media from all over the country. Even though I am in LA, I have been able to donate. The LA music community has also facilitated fundraisers to support Nashville relief efforts. So even if you don't live anywhere near Nashville, you can help by donating online.
This month, we celebrated Women's History Month and International Women's Day. Share with us some of the females who have influenced you along your journey.
Happy International Women's Day! I am lucky and have had a strong female presence in my life. I have a wonderful mother, grandmothers, three sisters, and soon to be, two nieces. My biggest influences are definitely the women in my family. My mother is the strongest person I know. She is a breast cancer survivor, a Doctor, and is an MD/Ph.D. with a Master's in Public Health. Even though my journey with music is different from that of healthcare, my mom taught me that I can do anything, and as a woman, I should have the same opportunities as a man. My mom and the other women of my family have taught me what it is to be strong, hardworking, and stand my ground. All of which have been crucial for my career in music.

Note: Procedural languages for Greenplum Database have been made into "extensions," and should therefore be installed with CREATE EXTENSION, not CREATE LANGUAGE. Using CREATE LANGUAGE directly should be restricted to extension installation scripts. If you have a "bare" language in your database, perhaps as a result of an upgrade, you can convert it to an extension using CREATE EXTENSION langname FROM unpackaged.
Superusers can register a new language with a Greenplum database. A database owner can also register within that database any language listed in the pg_pltemplate catalog in which the tmpldbacreate field is true. The default configuration allows only trusted languages to be registered by database owners. The creator of a language becomes its owner and can later drop it, rename it, or assign ownership to a new owner.
CREATE LANGUAGE effectively associates the language name with handler function(s) that are responsible for executing functions written in that language. For a function written in a procedural language (a language other than C or SQL), the database server has no built-in knowledge about how to interpret the function's source code. The task is passed to a special handler that knows the details of the language. The handler could either do all the work of parsing, syntax analysis, execution, and so on or it could serve as a bridge between Greenplum Database and an existing implementation of a programming language. The handler itself is a C language function compiled into a shared object and loaded on demand, just like any other C function. Therese procedural language packages are included in the standard Greenplum Database distribution: PL/pgSQL, PL/Perl, and PL/Python. Language handlers have also been added for PL/Java and PL/R, but those languages are not pre-installed with Greenplum Database. See the topic on Procedural Languages in the PostgreSQL documentation for more information on developing functions using these procedural languages.
TRUSTED specifies that the language does not grant access to data that the user would not otherwise have. If this key word is omitted when registering the language, only users with the Greenplum Database superuser privilege can use this language to create new functions.
The name of the new procedural language. The name must be unique among the languages in the database. Built-in support is included for plpgsql, plperl, and plpythonu. The languages plpgsql (PL/pgSQL) and plpythonu (PL/Python) are installed by default in Greenplum Database.

LANSING — As the holiday season approaches, the demand for food in Michigan is at a record high because of COVID-19, according to the state's food banks.
"We have been distributing 85% more food than before COVID-19," Summer Sunnock, the advancement director of the nonprofit South Michigan Food Bank based in Battle Creek.
Her agency started serving Michiganders in the 1980s. It partners with 285 food pantries and fresh food distribution centers in Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Hillsdale, Jackson, Kalamazoo, Lenawee and St. Joseph counties.
"There are a variety of reasons for people to come to food banks, but we have seen a huge surge because of the pandemic," Sunnock said. "Besides that, kids are at home and some other family members are also working remotely, and that means they need more food than usual."
One reason for the increased need is that COVID-19-related medical expenses are taking the last dollars out of Michiganders' pockets, Sunnock said.
More people in Michigan lost jobs, too, with unemployment spiking up to 24% in April. It's since dropped to 5.5% in October, but remains high compared with the previous year, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The South Michigan Food Bank distributed 9.2 million pounds of food last year, a 17% increase from 2018, Sunnock said. "This year, we are on the track of distributing 14 million pounds of food."
That's an increase by more than 50% for the entire service area. Food distribution is up 111% in Calhoun County, 85% in Branch County and 64% in Jackson County, according to South Michigan Food Bank officials.
It has also increased 25% in 40 counties in western Michigan, according to Feeding America West Michigan, a nonprofit and one of 200 food bank branches of Feeding America's nationwide network.
"We partner with 25 to 30 large retailers to collect food donations, and farmers are also contributing more food as they see that food insecurity has risen," Pattijean McCahill, Feeding America West Michigan's development and marketing director.
The agency distributes food to 900 food pantries and other sites across the region. Most of them serve community members weekly.
The increased demand created a need for reinforcements.
"We had shortages in volunteers at the beginning of the pandemic and the National Guard of Michigan was appointed to help us," McCahill said. "Now they are serving as our volunteer force."
Others are responding with more money for food.
Donors contributing to Feeding America West Michigan reached 7,000 this year. Around $4 million has been received since the pandemic started, according to agency officials.
Christopher Ivey, a marketing and communications director at the nonprofit Forgotten Harvest in metro Detroit, said that his organization struggles for volunteers. It is one of Michigan's largest food banks.
There is no way to hide that need for volunteers at Forgotten Harvest, Ivey said. "Because of the pandemic, we have to increase our mobile distribution sites and volunteers' help is needed in more sites than usual."
Forgotten Harvest had over 15,000 volunteers last year to clean, box, and distribute the food to Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb county residents, Ivey said.
"We need more volunteers as the number of people we serve increased by 50% this year," he said. "We served 540,000 people last year, and we have already served over 700,000 since March."
"Forgotten Harvest has a mission of feeding people and reducing food waste and we are very grateful to people who are supporting us," he said. "With every dollar that is given to Forgotten Harvest, we are able to distribute $7 worth of food."

Michigan retailers benefit from virus-fueled interest in board games
Michigan retailers are among those benefiting from a virus-fueled interest in board games. The same pandemic restrictions that close movie theaters, bowling alleys, bars and sporting events fuel interest in tabletop games. Interest surged in the games that can be played with family and at small gatherings surged with distribution of stimulus checks.

We are a nation of immigrants. In Minnesota, this couldn't be truer. We host some of the United States' largest immigrant communities: Hmong and Somali. After the Vietnam War and under the guidance of the U.S. Department of State, Minnesota became a hotbed for resettlement of displaced refugees from the mountainous region of Laos. At the turn of the century, we began to host refugees from Somalia, which had been in the middle of a civil war for many years.
While it may seem a bit strange in terms of weather and climate, many refugees settle in Minnesota because of the many services that are available to assist new members of our society acclimate to their new home. Since the initial waves of immigrants arrived, these two rich and cultural communities have become an integral part of Minnesota's way of life. A good number of these immigrants happen to be deaf due to the lack of medical services in refugee camps and exploding shells that damage the ear's capacity to hear, just to name two common causes.
At CSD of Minnesota's Deaf Adult Basic Education (ABE) Program, we have been able to give these new residents a chance to learn about their freshly adopted country. While deaf-specific citizenship classes are offered—thanks to the generous support of the Minnesota Department of Education—we have been able to serve at least 100 adult learners, and they have since become citizens of our great country. In at least half of these cases, attending Deaf ABE is the first time they've set foot in a classroom; such is the case with current student, Ahmed. Ahmed (shown above) is a 55-year-old learner from Somalia who is working hard to learn language, how to sign, read and write. This is his first school ever.
It is people like Ahmed who drive our work, because we know—as long as they work hard—everyone has a right to education and the American Dream, no matter their age or skillset. From all of us at Deaf ABE in Minnesota, we wish you a Happy Citizenship and Constitution Day!

Q: method does not override or implement a method from a supertype? hello guys can anyone help to solve this error, I am not a developer
public class SimpleWidgetProvider extends AppWidgetProvider {

    @Override
    public void onUpdate() {

    }
}

I tried this but I am not sure if this is right:
@Override
    public void onUpdate(Context paramContext, AppWidgetManager paramAppWidgetManager, int[] paramArrayOfInt)

    {
    }

}

A: When you use extends SomeClass is for extending a class.
In other words, you are required to override @Override existing functions in this class, this is an inherent condition of extends.
I recommend you see this link: not onUpdate in AppWidgetProvider
In my opinion your question needs to be a bit more detailed, I do not even know which error is displayed to you.
Let us know about your progress

Good luck.

Mary Washington Hospital: Poster child for Bad Behavior by Hospitals
Mary Washington Hospital in Fredericksburg, Virginia
Ran into the CFO of Mary Washington at the courthouse in Fredericksburg this morning. Sean T. Barden is his name. Two other executives (I think) were with him. I introduced myself and extended my hand. All I received back was a stare. So I said, "I'd like to shake hands," and the only response I got was, "no." Apparently MWH, or at least Mr. Barden, is not prepared to engage in a dialogue yet.
At the court house, all of the cases pending were dropped as was expected. A number of cases scheduled for a few months out were "pulled in" to be dropped in September. We'll continue to monitor the court's docket and will show up as needed. But for now, it seems the law suits and wage garnishments will stop. For now…
But it's not over—of that myself and many members of the legal community in Fredericksburg are quite sure. There are many people still having their wages garnished based on prior judgments. We'll be trying to find them, sifting through court records and asking the community to spread the word. We have strong reason to believe that many people were denied their right to due process through improper service, so we'll be doing what can to vacate old cases and get people refunds. There's no statute of limitations on improper service, according to the judge. There might even be a class action law suit in the making. Some local attorneys are getting excited about the possibilities.
It's important to keep spreading the word in Fredericksburg. It is highly likely that the Hospital will begin outsourcing its collections to collections agencies (one or more). We're going to make sure those collections agencies have a tough time collecting. As much as we can, we're going to make the cost of collecting very high, and the amount collected very low. The goal is that no one wants to take on Mary Washington's debt. We know how to stop collections agencies from collecting. We've done it elsewhere with great success. The key is ensuring patients know there's help out here.
Mr. Barden's reaction, refusing to so much as shake my hand (his security director was much more polite yesterday) should be a strong indication that that hospital has made no commitment to changing its ways. It's not lowering its prices; it's not revisiting its financial assistance policies; and it's not returning money to the people it's over-charged.
Yesterday I posted photos listing those who have left MWH in their estate plans. These (below) were among the other photos I took while at MWH yesterday before being informed that there was a secret policy against taking photos—a policy that was not posted on any sign and that wasn't written anywhere that could be shown to me. Remember…the "proprietary policy," just like prices. These photos show people who have already donated money to the hospital. Many probably will donate again. Perhaps you can help me track them down to let them know there are much better causes they can give their money to.
Patients have no voice in Fredericksburg. The employees we've talked to make it sound like they have no voice, either. I have also gotten the sense that the hospital's board has no voice. Perhaps donors have a voice.

A lump sum or short term payment when your partner, child or the person you were caring for has died.
The type and amount of bereavement payment you get will depend on your individual circumstances and when you tell us about the person's death.
If you are getting Carer Allowance for an adult who dies, and an income support payment, other than Carer Payment, that does not qualify you for Bereavement Payment, you may get a Carer Allowance Bereavement Payment. We pay this, of up to 7 instalments of Carer Allowance, as a lump sum.
If you get Carer Payment for a person who dies, you may continue to get this payment for up to 14 weeks after the person's death. You may also get a lump sum Bereavement Payment.
If your partner dies you may be eligible for a Bereavement Payment. We pay this as a lump sum. It is usually equal to the total you and your partner would have received as a couple, minus your new single rate, up to 14 weeks after your partner's death.
If your partner registered for the Pension Bonus Scheme with us or with the Department of Veterans' Affairs and dies before making a successful claim for Age Pension and Pension Bonus, you may be eligible for Pension Bonus Bereavement Payment. The payment is based on the amount of Pension Bonus your partner would have been paid.
When a single pensioner dies, a final payment is paid covering the fortnightly period in which they died. Usually this final payment is paid into the deceased person's bank account. It can then be accessed by the executor of the estate.
Time limits apply to claim these payments. You must submit your claim within 52 weeks from the day of the delivery of your stillborn child.
The bereavement payment you get will depend on your individual circumstances and when you notify us that your child has died.
If you are getting Carer Allowance for a Family Tax Benefit eligible child who dies, you will get up to 7 instalments of Carer Allowance from the date of the child's death. We usually pay this as a lump sum.
If you are getting Carer Payment for a child who dies, you may continue to get this payment for up to 14 weeks after the child's death. You will also get a lump sum Bereavement Payment.
If you get Double Orphan Pension and Family Tax Benefit for a child who dies, you will get a bereavement payment. You can have this paid as fortnightly payments for up to 14 weeks after the child's death or as a lump sum. If you did not get Family Tax Benefit for the child, you may still get Double Orphan Pension for up to 4 weeks after their death.
If you get Family Tax Benefit for a child who dies, you will get a Family Tax Benefit Bereavement Payment. This can still be paid as a fortnightly payment for up to 14 weeks after the child's death or as a lump sum.
If you have not claimed Family Tax Benefit for a child who died, you may get a lump sum payment. You can do this by submitting a claim for Bereavement Payment now or after the end of the financial year.
If you get Newstart Allowance or Youth Allowance as a principal carer and your only qualifying child dies, you will keep the high rate of payment and concessions. However your Mutual Obligation Requirements will be reduced for up to 14 weeks after your child's death.
If you get Parenting Payment and your only qualifying child dies, you may get Parenting Payment for up to 14 weeks after the child's death.
Generally you won't need to claim for bereavement payment. Call the bereavement line about the death and we will help you sort out which payment you may be able to get.
You may also need to provide proof of the person's death, usually a death certificate.
We've got advice and tools to help you with budgeting, borrowing and credit, and managing debt.

The 2022 Indianapolis 500 (branded as the 106th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge for sponsorship reasons) was a 500-mile (804.7 km, 200 lap) race in the 2022 IndyCar Series, held on Sunday, May 29, 2022, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in Speedway, Indiana. The month of May activities formally began on May 14 with the GMR Grand Prix on the combined road course. Practice on the oval opened on May 17, and time trials took place on May 21–22. Carb Day, the traditional final day of practice, along with the Pit Stop Challenge, took place on May 27.

Six-time IndyCar champion, and 2008 Indianapolis 500 winner Scott Dixon won the pole position, his fifth career Indy 500 pole. It was also Chip Ganassi Racing's seventh Indy pole. Dixon's qualifying speed of  was the fastest Indy 500 pole speed of all time, and the second-fastest Indy 500 qualifying attempt in history. Dixon moved into second on the all-time list for poles at Indy, behind only Rick Mears, who had six. The top twelve starting positions saw a near even split with seven Hondas and five Chevrolets. During the race, Dixon became the all-time lap leader in the history of the Indy 500.

Dixon led the most laps (95), and dominated much of the race along with teammate Álex Palou. With 25 laps to go, however, during his final pit stop, Dixon was penalized for speeding entering the pit lane. Dixon was issued a drive-through penalty, which took him out of contention and handed the lead to his teammate, Marcus Ericsson. Ericsson held off a furious charge from Pato O'Ward on a restart with two laps to go to win the race. Ericsson became the second Swedish winner in the race's history, after Kenny Bräck in 1999.

Race background

Sponsorship
On January 31, 2019, it was announced that the online financial services company Gainbridge would become the new presenting sponsor of the 500 under a four-year deal. This will be the fourth year under the current deal.

Rule changes
During pit stops, crew members are prohibited from physically assisting with the car's exit of the pit box. A car must leave the pits under its own power and can not be pushed.
All pneumatic wheel guns must not have any electronic devices attached. "Smart" wheel guns, with electronic torque sensors, have been banned.
Championship bonus points will be awarded to the top twelve qualifiers. This reflects a new qualifying procedure (see below). From 2018 to 2021, the top nine qualifiers earned bonus points. Now, the pole position winner receives 12 bonus points, down to 1 bonus point for the 12th qualifier (12–11–10–9–8–7–6–5–4–3–2–1). Points earned for the race finishing positions are unchanged. All finishers earn double championships points for the Indy 500 (the case since 2014).

Qualifying changes
The Two-day format that began in 2019 has been expanded, based on the popularity of the three-round system used for most of the IndyCar road and street courses events. The system will continue to use the two day system (Saturday May 21 & Sunday May 22), and cars will continue to utilize the traditional four-lap qualifying attempts. The top twelve cars from the first day will advance to a new second round that will take place on the second day. The top six cars in the second round advance to the final round to determine the pole position as well as starting positions two through six. If more than 33 entries take part in the event, the Last Chance Qualifying session will be used once again to set starting positions 31–32–33.

On Saturday, the procedure will be as follows:
Qualifying will be open from 12:00 p.m. to 5:50 p.m. All cars entered will be guaranteed at least one attempt. Additional attempts are allowed, time/weather permitting.
Cars ranking 1–12 will advance to Second Round Qualifying.
Cars ranking 13–30 will be locked-in to those starting positions, and will not re-qualify.
Cars ranking 31 and lower will be entered into the Last Chance Qualifying.
If there are only 33 entries, the Last Chance Qualifying will not be held, and instead all positions 13–33 will be locked-in.

On Sunday, time trials will conclude as follows:
At 2 p.m. the Last Chance Qualifying session will be held (if necessary). Entries that ranked 31st and lower on Saturday will have at least one attempt to qualify. Qualifying speeds from Saturday will be erased. Additional attempts will be allowed, time/weather permitting, until 3 p.m. Starting positions 31–32–33 will be filled. All other cars from 34th and lower will fail to qualify.
At 4 p.m., the second round of qualifying will be held. The cars that ranked 1st through 12th on Saturday will have one guaranteed attempt. Qualifying speeds from Saturday will be erased. Cars will go out in reverse order (12th to 1st). The cars ranking 7th through 12th will be locked-in to those starting positions. The top six cars will advance to the final round.
At 5:10 p.m., the final round of qualifying will be held. The cars that ranked 1st through 6th during the second round will have one guaranteed attempt. Qualifying speeds from the Top 12 session will be erased. Cars will go out in reverse order (6th to 1st). The top six starting positions will be set, including the pole position.

2022 IndyCar Series

The 2022 Indianapolis 500 was the sixth race of the 2022 NTT IndyCar Series season. Four different drivers won the first five races of the season, including one first-time winner. Scott McLaughlin won the season opener at St. Petersburg, his first career IndyCar win. At Texas, Josef Newgarden won, passing McLaughlin coming off the last turn of the last lap. Newgarden followed up with another win at Long Beach and Pato O'Ward won at Alabama in a time-shortened race (two hours) due to rain. The GMR Grand Prix was won by Colton Herta. Despite zero wins thus far on the season, Will Power entered the 500 as the series points leader.

Race schedules
The 2022 IndyCar Series schedule was announced on September 19, 2021. The Indianapolis 500 was for Sunday, May 29. Practice, time trials, and other ancillary events are scheduled for the two weeks leading up to the race. The GMR Grand Prix, including the Road to Indy races, will again serve as the opening weekend of track activity, on May 14. The Freedom 100 for the Indy Lights was left off the schedule for the third year in a row, with Roger Penske citing safety as an issue. The 2022 Indy Lights season will only include a race on the road course during GMR Grand Prix weekend.

Entry list

All entries utilized the Dallara DW12 chassis with the Universal Aero Kit 18, with Firestone tires.
A total of 32 car/driver combinations were made official in time for the Open test on April 20. Paretta Autosport (in technical alliance with Ed Carpenter Racing) announced on April 19 that they would not enter, electing instead to focus on road/street course races during the summer months. The 33rd and final entry was announced on May 5, with DragonSpeed and Cusick Motorsports joining to field a car. The official entry list was published on May 16, 2022.

Testing and Rookie Orientation

October 2021

A private offseason Firestone tire test was scheduled for October 8. Hélio Castroneves (Meyer Shank Racing) and Pato O'Ward (Arrow McLaren SP) were scheduled to participate. Jimmie Johnson (Ganassi) and Romain Grosjean (Andretti) were scheduled to complete the Rookie Orientation Program during a separate session on October 6.

Rookie Orientation consists of three phases. Phase 1 was ten laps between , Phase 2 was fifteen laps between , and Phase 3 was fifteen laps over . Lingering rain hampered track activity, but the track was dried and Johnson and Grosjean both completed Phase 1 and Phase 2. Both drivers completed about half of Phase 3 before a downpour closed the track for the day at 4:15 p.m.. Series officials announced that both drivers had completed a satisfactory amount of laps, and would be eligible to participate in the full-field Open Test scheduled for April.

On Friday October 8, Castroneves and O'Ward conducted baseline testing, as well as preliminary KERS testing. No incidents were reported, and no speeds were announced.

Veteran Only Test — Wednesday April 20
Weather: , light rain early, cloudy in the afternoon
Summary: A full-field open test was scheduled at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway oval for April 20–21, 2022. All 32 confirmed entries for the 2022 Indianapolis 500 were present for the test. Light rain delayed testing by roughly 90 minutes, with the veterans only session beginning at roughly 12:30 p.m. Scott Dixon was fastest in the opening session at , while Scott McLaughlin was second. McLaughlin was fastest in the "no-tow" rankings – laps set without the benefit of aerodynamic drafting. The only significant incident of the opening session came when Alexander Rossi spun in the pit exit lane during his first installment lap, but avoided any contact and continued on.

Rookie Orientation / Refresher tests — Wednesday April 20
Summary: At 2:30 p.m., the track was opened to drivers needing to complete Rookie Orientation and veteran Refresher tests. Eight drivers took to the track during the session, with all rookies and two of the veterans completing their tests. Juan Pablo Montoya and Sage Karam did not pass their refresher programs, but had completed enough to be allowed on track for the full-field session later in the day. The fastest time in the session came from rookie Callum Ilott at . No incidents were reported.

Open Test — Wednesday April 20

Summary: The track was opened to the full field at 4:30 p.m. and was scheduled to stay open until 6:30 p.m. This session saw two significant incidents. At roughly 5:10 p.m., Hélio Castroneves lost control of his car in the warm up lane heading into turn 2. Castroneves spun nearly 360 degrees before impacting the outside wall. About twenty minutes later, Will Power spun from the warm up lane in turn 1 and out onto the racing surface. Colton Herta narrowly avoided Power's car, but lost control of his own in the process, suffering light damage to the rear of the car as he brushed the outside wall at the exit of turn 1. Marcus Ericsson narrowly avoided Herta's spinning car and continued on back to the pit lane with no damage. IndyCar elected to end the session 40 minutes early to allow officials and representatives from Firestone to examine the pit exit lane for a potential cause for the three incidents that occurred during the day. Scott Dixon returned to the top of the time sheets, turning a lap at . Only ten drivers completed "no-tow" laps during the session, but Scott McLaughlin was fastest again with a lap at .

Open Test — Thursday April 21
Weather: , rain in the morning, mostly cloudy in the afternoon
Summary: The second day of a full-field open test was scheduled April 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. After three incidents on the warm-up lane during testing on Wednesday, series and track officials inspected the course overnight. A chemical sealant applied to the asphalt surface the previous autumn was believed to be the culprit. The grip levels on the warm-up lanes were measured to be significantly lower than that of the racing surface. Track crews spent the night prepping the asphalt along the warm-up lanes and pit lane by dragging tires and scrubbing the surface. Due to morning rain and moisture, Thursday's testing was rescheduled for 2:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. Speeds increased across nearly the whole field for the second test day, with 15 drivers completing laps quicker than the fastest time from the opening day. Josef Newgarden turned the fastest lap on the day, running at . Rinus VeeKay was fastest in the "no-tow" rankings at . Hélio Castroneves was the only driver to not partake in the session, as his Meyer Shank Racing team elected not to run after the opening day crash to repair damages. There were no incidents during the Thursday session.

Carb Day — Friday, May 27
Weather: , light rain showers in the morning, cloudy in the afternoon.
Summary: The final practice was initially scheduled for 11:00 a.m., but due to rain showers in the morning, practice was delayed to 1:00 p.m., with teams allowed a 1-hour 30 minute session. Two major incidents occurred during practice. At roughly 1:45 p.m., Santino Ferrucci and David Malukas made contact entering turn 1. The contact cut down a tire on Malukas's car, causing him to lose control and impact the outside wall. Malukas was uninjured in the incident, while Ferrucci was held on pit lane for 20 minutes as penalty for avoidable contact with Malukas. The second major incident came at roughly 2:05 p.m. Colton Herta lost control of his car at the exit of turn 1, spun, and impacted the outside wall. The impact lifted the front of the car off the ground, allowing the front to pitch up and blow the car over. The car landed upside down and skidded to a halt in turn 2. Herta was uninjured in the accident, but was forced to move to a backup car for the race. Tony Kanaan was the fastest driver of the shortened session, running a lap at . After the practice session, participating crews moved on to the annual Pit Stop Challenge which returned for the first time since 2019 as it was not held in 2020 and 2021 due to the global COVID-19 pandemic.

Pit Stop Challenge

The event was scheduled to start at 2:30 p.m., after Carb Day practice had concluded, but was delayed to 3:30 due to early weather holds. 14 teams were invited to participate. Colton Herta's team was entered, but withdrew after Herta's crash during the earlier practice session. Team Penske won the pit stop challenge with Josef Newgarden's car, winning the best-of-three final against Chip Ganassi Racing with Scott Dixon's car. It was Penske's 18th win in the competition and the third for chief mechanic Travis Law. One incident occurred during the challenge when Sage Karam spun and nearly collided with Felix Rosenqvist in the first round when his Dreyer & Reinbold Racing team failed to secure a tire on his car.

Starting grid

Race report

Weather: , Partly cloudy with moderate sustained winds.

First half
At the start, Álex Palou took the early lead of the race, with Rinus VeeKay and Scott Dixon behind. Dixon eventually passed VeeKay for second, allowing him and his teammate Palou to exchange positions regularly to drive to conserve fuel. These three remained at the front through to the first pit stops, which came around lap 31. After pit stops, VeeKay emerged ahead of Dixon for second. On lap 39, VeeKay caused the race's first caution period after losing control of his car in turn two and impacting the outside wall. VeeKay was uninjured, but was relegated to finishing 33rd and last. After the accident, Chip Ganassi Racing cars ran 1–2–3, with Palou leading Dixon and Marcus Ericsson.

Racing resumed on lap 47, with Palou and Dixon resuming their attempt at fuel conservation. This continued to the second round of pit stops, which began at roughly lap 67. Just as the first stops began happening, Callum Ilott lost control of his car in turn two and impacted the outside wall before skidding back across the track and making light contact with the inside wall on the backstraight. Ilott suffered broken bones in his right hand, but was able to climb from the car unassisted. The injuries would force Ilott to miss the next race of the IndyCar season. The incident brought out the race's second caution period. Race leader Álex Palou was worst effected by the timing of the caution. Palou entered pit lane just after it closed for the caution, forcing him to drive through without taking service. Two laps later, with the pits still closed, Palou was forced to take emergency service to prevent running out of fuel, with the penalty being starting at the end of the field for the restart. The sequence took Palou out of contention for the win for the remainder of the race. Everyone else who had not pitted before the caution came in once the pits opened. Scott Dixon assumed the lead of the race, having stopped just before Ilott's crash, while Conor Daly vaulted up the order to second.

Racing resumed at lap 78, with Dixon maintaining his lead over Daly. At lap 80, Daly overtook Dixon for the lead, but only led for a few laps before Dixon returned to the front. The running order remained largely the same to halfway. At the halfway mark, Scott Dixon held the lead over Daly, Pato O'Ward, Marcus Ericsson, and Tony Kanaan.

Second half
The third caution period of the race came out on lap 106, when Romain Grosjean lost control of his car in turn two and impacted the outside wall. Grosjean was uninjured in the accident. During the caution, the majority of the field pitted again, with Scott Dixon being first out of the pits. Dixon would line up second for the restart behind Conor Daly, who had pitted just before the caution.

Racing got under way once again on lap 112. On the restart, Pato O'Ward passed both Daly and Dixon to take the lead of the race, while Santino Ferrucci moved into the top-five positions after passing several cars. Dixon quickly took the lead from O'Ward, with O'Ward settling in behind in a bid to conserve fuel. Daly ran third, Ferrucci fourth, and Felix Rosenqvist fifth. At lap 141, the penultimate round of pit stops began. O'Ward emerged from the pits with the lead over Dixon, while O'Ward's teammate Rosenqvist moved to third.

The fourth caution period of the day came at lap 151, when Scott McLaughlin lost control of his car in turn three. McLaughlin impacted the outside wall, then continued to slide into turn four before impacting the wall again and nearly collecting Ed Carpenter in the incident. McLaughlin emerged uninjured in the wreck and later indicated that he had been caught out by the wind, which had increased since the start of the race.

Racing resumed at lap 158, with Dixon immediately passing O'Ward to take over the lead again, with Felix Rosenqvist third, Conor Daly fourth, and Marcus Ericsson fifth. This order remained the same until the final round of pit stops, which began at roughly lap 173. Dixon pitted from the lead on lap 175, but locked the rear tires entering the lane, causing him to be over the pit lane speed limit at the pit entry line. Dixon received a drive-through penalty for the mistake, removing him from contention to win despite leading nearly half of the race. With Dixon removed from the lead battle, the front pack now consisted of O'Ward, Felix Rosenqvist, and Dixon's teammate Marcus Ericsson, who had gained substantially on the Arrow McLaren SP cars during the pit sequence. Ericsson moved around O'Ward and Rosenqvist and began to pull away while dealing with slower lapped traffic. Marco Andretti and Jimmie Johnson briefly lead ahead of this group, but were on an alternate pit strategy and both pitted by lap 190, handing the lead to Ericsson.

Finish
The fifth caution period of the day came at lap 194, when Jimmie Johnson lost control of his car in turn two after entering too low, causing him to impact the outside wall. Johnson was uninjured in the accident. In an effort to ensure the race did not finish under a caution period, IndyCar officials stopped the race to clean up the wreckage, setting up a two-lap shootout to the end. At the red flag, Ericsson led O'Ward, Tony Kanaan, Rosenqvist, and Alexander Rossi.

Racing resumed on lap 199, with Rosenqvist diving to the inside of Kanaan on the restart, allowing Ericsson and O'Ward to gap the duo down the backstretch. Ericsson started weaving across the track in an effort to break the draft that O'Ward would get. On the final lap, O'Ward drew even with Ericsson entering turn one, but was unable to execute a pass. As the leaders reached turn three for the final time, the sixth and final caution period came as Sage Karam impacted the wall in turn two and skidded to a halt on the backstraight grass. Karam was sent to a local hospital after complaining of musculoskeletal soreness, but was released shortly thereafter with no injuries. The caution period effectively ended the race, with Marcus Ericsson taking his first Indianapolis 500 victory.

Ericsson's victory was the second for a driver from Sweden, after Kenny Bräck's win in 1999. It was the fifth Indianapolis 500 victory for the Chip Ganassi Racing team, but its first since 2012. For winning, Ericsson earned $3.1 million from a record purse of $16,000,200. Despite his late race accident, Jimmie Johnson was elected Rookie of the Year. The decision to award Johnson Rookie of the Year honors was divisive, with several motor racing journalists as well as some competitors suggesting that David Malukas – the highest finishing rookie in 16th – was more deserving of the award.

During the course of the race, Scott Dixon set a new record for Most career laps led in the Indianapolis 500. By leading 95 laps during the race, Dixon reached 665 total career laps led, surpassing the previous mark set by Al Unser of 644 laps led.

Box score

 Points include qualification points from time trials, 1 point for leading a lap, and 2 points for most laps led.

 All 33 qualifiers utilized a Dallara chassis with the Universal Aero Kit 18 and Firestone tires.

Broadcasting

Television

As we prepare to move past the coolest part of the winter, your lawn is also preparing to come out of its brief winter dormancy. That means now is the time to be on the lookout for any evolving issues that may affect your lawn and hinder it from growing fast and healthy as the weather warms up.
With your lawn waking up for the spring and being bombarded with warmer, wetter days, it's prime time for it to fall victim to fungal issues and other common lawn diseases.
Pythium Blight – A fast-spreading fungal disease that presents initially as small, circular patches of collapsed, water-soaked leaves and stems on close-mown turf.
Brown patch or Large patch – A fungal disease that may show up as a gray-purple ring up to 20 inches in diameter.
Dollar Spot – This fungal disease creates small silver dollar-size spots where the grass is leveled down to the roots. Although generally small, these spots can appear all over the lawn.
Leaf Spot – A fungal disease that creates tiny lesions on grass that look like cigarette burns, and can progress to large patches of brown and wilted turf.
Fairy Ring – A fungal outbreak in the soil beneath the grass. It can create dark rings from several inches to 20 feet in diameter. Sometimes mushrooms will grow along the outer edge of the ring.
Rust – Rust causes grass to yellow and then to progress to a bright orange color. Blades can droop toward the ground and appear shredded.
A strong, healthy lawn is the best defense against these diseases, but there are other interventions to use to make sure these diseases don't rob you of a beautiful yard this spring.
Professional pest management and regular care by a professional Pensacola lawn care company can keep your lawn healthy and help keep these diseases at bay. For a full list of the most common lawn diseases affecting Pensacola, click here.
The second issue to be aware of as winter changes to spring is the emergence of warm weather weeds.
Many weeds are strong enough to survive a cold winter and begin vying for space in your lawn immediately as spring begins. If you had weeds last season, there's a good chance they will be present again when the weather warms.
It's important to effectively identify and strategically attack warm weather weeds as early as possible so your lawn has the best chance to remain healthy in the spring growing season.
To accomplish this, we recommend reading our recent free guidebook, War on Weeds.
To help you diagnose and treat lawn diseases and manage weeds this spring, contact us to set up a free lawn evaluation.

This product is compatible with all O Gauge 3-Rail track systems including those systems offered by Atlas and Gargraves and Lionel and Ross Custom Switches.
In the early 1900's the mountains in and around West Virginia were crawling with lumber crews foresting the best spruce nature had to offer. As the lumber was harvested, track crews - keeping just ahead of the lumberjacks - worked even harder to reach deeper into the forest. The West Virginia Pulp & Paper Company's Shay Steamer No. 12 was there, trudging up and down grades as steep as 11 percent with cut trees destined for the mills and supplies for the ever increasing logging camps throughout Pocahontas County. Shay No. 12 was built in 1921 and was originally outfitted with three trucks and weighed a whopping 154 tons. In 1923 it was rebuilt with four trucks and weighed an unbelievable 197 tons. She fearlessly tackled the Spruce covered mountain grades for the next 20 years before retiring in 1943 and being unceremoniously scraped in 1955. In 2003 we've redecorated No. 12 with the livery of the Elk River Coal & Lumber Company. Completely constructed from all die-cast metal components, this 22 inch long powerhouse features the same all-wheel powered drive train that made Shays so powerful in the first place. In fact, you'll be hard pressed to find any grade that will be too steep for this tireless worker.
