One way to understand Anthony Weiner's compulsive sexting
Anthony Weiner, husband to Hillary Clinton aide Huma Abedin, was recently caught exchanging provocative images on social media for the third time.

Anthony Weiner has a sexting problem that most people just don't understand.
Since 2011, the struggle has played out publicly for the former Democratic congressman and his wife Huma Abedin, a close confidant and aide to Hillary Clinton.

Revelations that Weiner traded sexual messages and photos with women online led to his resignation from Congress in 2011, significantly undermined his New York City mayoral campaign in 2013 and, as of Monday, played a role in breaking up his marriage.
While Abedin had remained with Weiner in the years since the first scandal, she announced their separation Monday after a New York Post story detailed Weiner's long relationship, conducted electronically, with an unidentified woman. The pair exchanged sexually provocative messages and revealing photos. One of the images included what appeared to be Weiner and Abedin's son sleeping next to his underwear-clad father.
While the public may rush to judgment, experts say that Weiner's behavior could be indicative of underlying emotional health problems or a serious addiction on par with chronic substance abuse and gambling. In 2013, Weiner denied that he had an addiction but has not commented on that subject since the Post story was published.

Some experts disagree that sex addiction is a psychiatric disorder. When they do agree on that fact, there's still confusion over what exactly to call it; terms in the field include compulsive sexual behavior and hypersexual disorder.
Robert Weiss, senior vice president of clinical development for Elements Behavioral Health, arranges and oversees treatment for patients who live with addictive sexual disorders, including sexting. Addiction, he says, is defined by loss of control, exhibiting the same behavior despite negative consequences and an ongoing preoccupation with acting out that behavior.
Weiss, who has not treated Weiner, says he should be held accountable for his actions, but also feels sympathy for a man who appears to be suffering from a problem beyond his control. If Weiner's compulsive sexual behavior is an addiction, Weiss says the fact that his child appeared in one of the photos demonstrates how far he was willing to go to appear attractive to the woman he sexted, who also had children.
"It's like the alcoholic who picks up his kids drunk," he says. "Nothing matters except maintaining the relationship with the alcohol."
Weiss, author of Sex Addiction 101: A Basic Guide to Healing from Sex, Porn, and Love Addiction, arranges and oversees treatment for patients who live with addictive sexual disorders, including sexting. The high, he says, is not necessarily engaging in sex, but reveling in the "anticipatory fantasy excitement" of imagining the next nude picture or the next raunchy message.
Blaming the technology that makes such fantasies possible, however, is a mistake. Smartphones, social media and apps, says Weiss, do not cause addiction but facilitate it efficiently. These affordable, accessible and sometimes anonymous tools make finding a sexting partner instantaneous, but the roots of the behavior go much deeper.
While sex addiction isn't included in the most recent version of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders — a reference manual for clinicians — Weiss says that omission reflects cultural politics in the U.S. more than people's lived realities. In contrast, the next edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), which is developed by the World Health Organization and used internationally, will reportedly include compulsive sexual behavior amongst impulse control disorders for the first time.
Dr. Charles Samenow, a psychiatrist and associate professor at The George Washington University School of Medicine & Health Sciences, says researchers don't fully understand why one person might develop a compulsive sexting habit while someone else can sext without losing control.
"People who are predisposed to this get into trouble a little quicker and a lot deeper."
Samenow believes a pattern of emotional and psychological factors common to addictive behavior, such as unhealthy relationships, difficulty forming attachments and underlying mood and anxiety disorders, can help explain risk.
Those who develop an addiction, he says, often seek a high, feel guilt and shame, and then despair as the cycle repeats itself, even in the wake of dire consequences.
"People who are predisposed to this get into trouble a little quicker and a lot deeper," Samenow says of behavior like compulsive sexting.
Samenow also believes that the sexual nature of Weiner's behavior makes it easier for the public to dismiss and shame someone who may be a "sick" or "broken" individual. He looks instead to the model used to treat people with chronic substance abuse disorders: require accountability and responsibility, but provide support.
"The problem is people look at this and they can't believe it," says Samenow. "Because it's sex, there's an automatic judgment that he's a pervert or dumb. What doesn't come to mind is that he's distressed."

THIS STAY THE ROOM HAD A STALE/MILD MUSKY SMELL TO IT I REQUESTED DEODORIZER THE FRONT DESK PROVIDED IT AND SMELL DISSIPATED FOR A WHILE BUT COULD HAVE BEEN STRONGER THIS IS THE ONLY COMPLAINT WE HAD OTHER THAN THAT THUMBS UP.
I have stayed at 1st floor room, and it was a bit noisy from outside.
Clean. Good breakfast. Friendly staff.
Disappointed that the room was not clean/ changed to my expectations as previous visit. Dirty towels and washcloths left on the towel racks folded as clean. Room more expensive this time than the last stay.
That I was allowed to check in earlier due to being charged 7 hrs earlier before I even arrived to the city and checked in. lived 6 hrs away.
It was located in a convenient location.
Nice location close JFK. Nothing else here was very fancy. It met expectations. Breakfast was ok...with actually some hot items.
Breakfast was bland. Some fruit would be good—bananas, oranges—apples were good, but that's it. Eggs were little patties and the sausages were greasy. I book in part because of the breakfast. This trip had the least appetizing breakfast we've had there.
I was not able to check out at my usual check out time at 1pm which I usually am allowed to, I have stayed at Best Western many times before and was always allowed to check out at 1pm.
I was able to check in early, which was perfect since I arrived really early.

Curry's 24 pts. guides ODU in home opener over W&M
The Monarchs (1-1) scored more points in an single game than they did all last season. Senior guard Malik Curry had 24 points and A.J. Oliver II 19.

NORFOLK, Va. — Playing with an offensive surge unlike anything seen last season, the Old Dominion University basketball team rolled past William and Mary, 86-78, Saturday night in its home opener at Chartway Arena.

It was the first home athletic event hosted ODU in 262 days. ODU joined all other college athletic programs in shutting down its athletic program last March because of the pandemic.
The last ODU home game was played on March 11, when the women's lacrosse team fell to Quinnipiac, 16-11. Since then, every field, stadium and arena on campus has been empty.
Saturday's game was played under strict guidelines set by the state -- only 250 spectators were allowed, everyone wore masks and social distancing was practiced on the benches and even press row. All post-game interviews were conducted online.
"It's much different" than playing with fans, ODU coach Jeff Jones said. "Everything is different. We just have to adjust as we go along.
"Whatever changes we've experienced so far, there will be more in the future. Things are very unpredictable. You can't take anything for granted."
ODU led most of the way but had trouble putting away the Tribe. ODU took a 15-point lead, 69-54, with 8:39 left only to see the Tribe trim the lead to 76-70 with four minutes left. Curry and Oliver then made back-to-back baskets to build it back to ten.
Then, with 2:01 left, Jaylin Hunter made a fallaway 3-pointer as the shot clock expired to give ODU an 83-70 lead.
ODU has dominated the 48-year-old series with the Tribe (0-1), but had lost seven of the last nine against William & Mary entering Saturday.
Jones said ODU has added some wrinkles to its offense to cater to his talent. The Monarchs aren't as tall as last season but are quicker and faster.
"We revamped our offense, trying to make it less stationary and more fluid," Jones said. "We're a smaller team, but we feel like we've got some good movers."
ODU had 23 points off of turnovers or on the fast break.
ODU plays next on Tuesday night at Norfolk State at 8.The game will be televised locally by WGNT-TV.
"We were happy to get the win but Norfolk State is another big one," Jones said. "I'm sure it will be a high-intensity, emotional game."

A LITTLE HERSTORY
She "Followed War Wherever She Could Reach It"
Martha Ellis Gellhorn was the only woman journalist who landed on the beach in Normandy during World War II.
She was born on November 8, 1908, in St. Louis, Missouri. She was the daughter of Edna Fischel Gellhorn, a suffragist and George Gellhorn who was a German born gynecologist. Her older brother Walter, became a noted law professor at Columbia University and her younger brother Alfred was an oncologist and former dean of the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine.
In 1926 she graduated from John Burroughs School in St. Louis and enrolled in Bryn Mawr College. A year later she left Bryn Mawr without graduating, in order to pursue a careen as a journalist. Her first published articles appeared in The New Republic. In 1930, determined to become a foreign correspondent, she went to France for two years, where she worked at the United Press bureau in Paris. While in Europe, she became active in the pacifist movement, writing about her experiences in her book What Mad Pursuit (1934).
After returning to the United States, Gellhorn was hired by Harry Hopkins, whom she had met through her friendship with First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt, as a field investigator for the for the Federal Emergency Relief Administration (FERA) during the Great Depression. Franklin D. Roosevelt created FERA to measure and report on the impact of the depression on the country (1929-1939). She worked with Dorothea Lange, the great photographer, to document the everyday lives of the hungry and homeless. Later, in 1937, she travelled to Spain to cover the Spanish Civil War for Collier's magazine. During this period she reconnected with Ernest Hemingway, who was also in Spain as a correspondent. Gellhorn first met Ernest Hemingway during a 1936 Christmas family trip to Key West. They married in 1940, and she became Hemingway's third wife.
During World War II, the government had prohibited women from being on the front lines. They were not allowed to cover the stories from the front. Understandably, the women journalists were not pleased by this ban. Martha, in particular, was irate and wrote a scathing letter to the military authorities stating: "It is necessary that I report on this war. I do not feel there is any need to beg as a favour for the right to serve as the eyes for millions of people in America who are desperately in need of seeing, but cannot see for themselves." Martha Gellhorn was not ready to bow out, gracefully or otherwise.
Gellhorn and Hemingway's marriage was troubled from the start. Hemingway refused to let go off his second wife even when both of them were seeing each other, and Gellhorn's long absences during her reporting assignments irritated Hemingway. When D-Day approached, their marriage was already dead in the water. To get even with Gellhorn, Hemingway,"a cocky, raspy-voiced, chain-smoking maverick," got himself accredited as the correspondent for Colliers, the magazine Gellhorn worked for, blocking any chance Gellhorn might have of getting to the front lines.
On the night of June 6, 1944, before the ships departed for Normandy, Gellhorn made her way to the waterfront on the pretext of interviewing the nurses aboard a hospital ship. Once on board, she hid herself in the bathroom. Gellhorn knew that if she got caught, she would lose her accreditation and might even get deported back to America. Still, to witness the great invasion was worth the risk. Gellhorn remained in her hideout for several hours and only emerged when the ship was well on her way to France. Later that night, after the troops had landed and the massacre on the beach was finally over, Gellhorn sneaked ashore with a couple of doctors and medics as a stretcher bearer to collect the wounded. In the chaos of the war, nobody gave a damn that Gellhorn was a woman.
Martha Gellhorn became the only woman to land in Normandy the same day the troops did. Other women followed, but much later. The first batch of women—members of the United States Women's Army Corps—landed in Normandy thirty-eight days later.
Soon after Gellhorn had filed her story to Collier's, the military police arrested her. They took away her credentials and transported her to a nurse's training camp outside London. Gellhorn escaped from the camp by convincing a British pilot to fly her to Italy.
When she finally arrived, by means of a dangerous ocean voyage in war-torn London, she told Hemingway that she had had enough. She had found, as had his other wives, that, as described by Bernice Kert in The Hemingway Women: "Hemingway could never sustain a long-lived, wholly satisfying relationship with any one of his four wives. Married domesticity may have seemed to him the desirable culmination of romantic love, but sooner or later he became bored and restless, critical and bullying." After four contentious years of marriage, they divorced in 1945.
She continued undaunted in her career as a journalist. "I followed the war wherever I could reach it," Gellhorn recalled. She wrote about the innocent victims of the war: the civilians who lived in daily fear of being killed by bombs. She was motivated to write – not about tactics and statistics - but about the devastating effects of war on the lives of civilians. It was a remarkable career spanning some sixty years. Gellhorn continued covering conflicts her country was involved in.
She covered the Vietnam War and the Arab-Israel conflicts in the 1960s and 70s. She was still out at the front reporting the civil wars in Central America at the age of seventy, and incredibly, United States' invasion of Panama in 1989 at the age of eighty-one. It was only when war came to Bosnia that she decided to quit, announcing that she was "too old" and not "nimble" enough for war anymore.
She had homes in Mexico, Africa and Britain, ending her life in an apartment in London. She carried on reporting well into her eighties when, half-blind, and suffering from ovarian cancer that had spread to her liver, she traveled alone to Brazil to report on the plight of street-children who were being murdered by death-squads. Martha Gellhorn was committed to reporting the truth and she worked hard for her reputation as one of the greatest war correspondents of the twentieth century.

Your Expedited Freight Partner For the Modern Era
According to one recent study, approximately 63.1 million metric tons of freight have traveled by plane across the globe in 2019. That number is on pace to eclipse the 63.3 million metric tons of freight that were shipped during the entirety of 2018.
All told, the volume of shipments has increased dramatically over the last 15 years – from "just" 40.9 million metric tons in 2004 to their current levels.
Another recent study revealed that about 35% of ALL world trade value is currently carried in the exact same way: by air cargo. This is because you're talking about more than just a straightforward transportation service. Air freight providers play a crucial role in serving markets that demand not only speed, but also an unparalleled level of reliability for the transportation of goods – all at the exact same time.
As a concept, it's a cornerstone of the global economy – essential for moving high value goods like electronics equipment, electrical equipment, heavy machinery and other items across the world, getting them into the hands of the people who need them the most as soon as possible.
And ultimately, none of it would mean a thing without the right partner by your side in the first place.
For many years, AirFreight.com has made it a priority to become that partner you need when you need it the most – one that guarantees that you never have to leave your logistics to chance ever again.
That has been our number one priority from the moment we originally opened our doors until now, and it's also an objective that shows absolutely no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

Na matemática lógica, o Teorema de Goodstein é um enunciado sobre os números naturais, provado por Reuben Goodstein em 1994, o qual define que toda sequência de Goodstein termina em zero. Kirby & Paris, em 1982, mostraram que isto não é demonstrável na aritmética de Peano (mas isto pode ser provado em sistemas em ordem maior, de acordo com a ordem aritmética). Este foi o terceiro exemplo "natural" de um enunciado verdadeiro que não é demonstrável na aritmética de Peano(depois da prova direta, de Gerhard Gentzen, em 1943,da indemonstrabilidade da indução-ε0 na aritmética de Peano e o Teorema de Paris-Harrington).
Anteriormente, enunciados deste tipo tinham sido, exceto para Gentzen, extremamente complicados, construções aleatórias (como os enunciados gerados pela construção dada no Teorema da Incompletude de Gödel) ou interessou metamatemáticos ou resultados combinatoriais (Kirby & Paris 1982).

Laurie Kirby e Jeff Paris deram uma interpretação do Teorema de Goodstein como um jogo de hidras: a "Hidra" é uma árvore enraizada, e um movimento, ou jogada, consiste em cortar uma das suas CABEÇAS (um galho da árvore), a qual a hidra reage com o crescimento de um número finito de novos galhos, de acordo com determinadas regras. A interpretação de Kirby-Paris do teorema diz que a Hidra vai, eventualmente, ser morta, independentemente da estratégia que Hércules usa para cortar fora as cabeças, embora isto possa levar muito, muito tempo.

Notação base-n hereditária

Sequencias de Goodstein são definidas em termos de uma conceito chamado "notação base-nhereditária". Essa notação é muito similar ao usual base-n  notação

posicional, mas a notação usual não é suficiente para os fins do teorema de Goodstein
Em notação base-n ordinária, onde n é um numero natural maior que 1, um numero natural arbitrario m é escrito como uma soma dos multiplos das potencias

de n:

onde cada coeficiente  satisfaz ,  e . Por exemplo, em base 2,

Assim a representação base 2 de 35 é . (Essa expressão pode ser escrita em notação binaria como 100011.) Similarmente, 100 pode ser

escrito em base 3:

Note que os expoentes por eles mesmos não são escritos na notação base-n. Por exemplos, a expressão acima inclui  e .
Para converter uma representação base-n para uma notação base n hereditária, primeiro reescreva todos os expoentes em notação base-n. Então reescreva

qualquer expoente dentro dos expoentes, e continue desse forma até todo digito nessa expressão  seja n ou menor.
Por exemplo, enquanto 35 na notação base-2 é , ele é escrito na notação base-2 hereditária como

usando o fato que  . Similarmente, 100 na notação base-3 hereditária é

Sequencias de Goodstein

A sequencia de Goodstein G(m) de um numero m é uma sequencia de numeros naturais. O primeiro elemento dessa sequencia G(m) é o proprio m. Para pegar

o proximo elemento, escreva m na notação base-2 hereditária, troque todo 2 para 3, e então subtraia 1 do resultado; esse é o segundo elemento de G(m). PAra

conseguir o terceiro elemento de G(m), escreva o segundo elemento na notação base-3 hereditária, troque todo 3 por 4, e subtraia 1 novamente. Continue até que

o resultado seja 0.
Anteriormente sequencias de Goodstein terminaram rapidamente. Por exemplo, G(3) termina em seis passos:

Depois sequencias de Goodstein aumentaram para um grande numero de passos. Por exemplo, G(4) começa a seguir:

Elementos de G(4) continuam a acrescentar por um tempo, mas a base , eles chegam no maximo de  passos, e então começa seu primeiro e ultimo descida.
O valor 0 é encontrado na base .
Entretanto, mesmo G(4) não dão uma boa de o quão rapido os elementos da sequencia de Goodstein pode aumentar. G(19) aumenta muito mais rapidamente, a

assim como mostrado a seguir:

Devido a este grande crescimento, o Teorema de Goodstein declara que toda sequência de Goodstein eventualmente termina em zero, não importando qual o valor inicial.

Prova do Teorema de Goodstein

O Teorema de Goodstein pode ser provado (usando técnicas fora da aritmética de Peano, veja abaixo) como segue: Dada uma sequência de Goodstein G(m), vamos construir uma sequência paralela de números ordinais, cujos elementos não são menores que os que da sequência original. Se os elementos da sequência paralela tendem a zero, os elementos da sequência de Goodstein devem também tender a zero.

Para construir a sequência paralela, pegue a representação da base hereditária n do elemento (n-1) da sequência de Goodstein, e substitua cada instância de n com primeiro número ordinal infinito ω. Adição, multiplicação e exponenciação de números ordinais são bem definidas, e o número ordinal resultante claramente não pode ser menor que o elemento original.

A operação de mudança de base da sequência de Goodstein não muda o elemento da sequência paralela: realocando the os 4s em  com ω é o mesmo que realocar todos os 4s com 5s e então todos os 5s com ω. A operação de subtrair 1, no entanto, corresponde ao decrescimento do número ordinal infinito numa sequência paralela; por exemplo,  é reduzido para  se o passo acima é executado. Pelo fato dos ordinais serem bem-ordenados, não há uma sequência infinita estritamente definida de ordinais. Assim, a sequência paralela deve terminar em zero após um número finito de passos. A sequência de Goodstein, a qual é limitada superiormente pela sequência paralela, deve terminar em zero também.

Enquanto esta prova do Teorema de Goodstein é relativamente fácil, o Teorema de Kirby-Paris diz que o Teorema de Goodstein não é um Teorema da Aritmética de Peano, é técnico e consideravelmente mais difícil. Ele faz uso de modelos contáveis despadronizados da Aritmética de Peano. O que Kirby mostrou é que o Teorema de Goodstein leva ao Teorema de Gentzen, isto é, ele pode substituir para a indução até ε0.

Tamanho da sequencia como um função de valor inicial
A função de Goodstein, , é definida tal que  é o tamanho da sequancia

de Goodstein que começa com n. (Essa é uma função total até toda sequencia de Goodstein termine.) A taxa de crescimento extrema de  pode ser calibrada por relaciona-lo com varios hierarquias ordinal-indexadas padroes de funções, tal que as funções  em uma

hierarquia de Hardy e as funções  na hierarquia de crescimento rapido de Löb e Wainer:

 Kirby and Paris (1982) provou que
 contem aproximadamente a mesma taxa de crescimento como  (que é a mesma de ); mais precisamente,  domina  para todo , e

 domina
(Para qualquer qualquer 2 funções ,  é dita dominada  se   para todo suficientemente grande .)

 Cichon (1983) mostrou que

onde é resultado do inclusão de n na notação base-2 hereditáriae então substituindo todo 2 com ω (como foi feito na prova do

teorema de Goodstein).

 Caicedo (2007) mostrou que se  with  então
.

Alguns exemplos:

Aplicação para funções computáveis

O Teorema de Goodstein pode ser usado para construir uma função computável total, que a Aritmética de Peano não pode provar a completude. A sequência de Goodstein de um número pode ser efetivamente enumerada por uma Máquina de Turing; assim, a função que mapeia "n" para o número de passos requeridos para a sequência de Goodstein de "n" para terminar é computável por uma Máquina de Turing em particular.
Esta máquina meramente enumera a Sequência de Goodstein de n e, quando a sequência chega a 0, retorna o comprimento da sequência. Pois, toda sequência de Goodstein eventualmente termina, esta função é total. Porém, devido a Aritmética de Peano não provar que toda sequência de Goodstein termina, ela não prova que esta máquina de Turing computa a função total.

Carrying the Torch
Chloe Holliday, Writer
Whether it's sentimental or down-right weird, there's no denying that when team traditions are put into place, it's a memorable experience for everyone involved. Most teams have many unusual traditions that no other team could replicate. This is because each sport contains so many different qualities and traits which produces some of the most bizarre behaviors and traditions held sacred to each team.
Traditions can be seen everywhere; we see them between friends, families, or even co-workers, but many will argue that traditions are the strongest on a team. You can see traditions on the field when the girls soccer team has "Go Pink Night," or on the court while the boys who play tennis shout their team chant, or maybe in the pool while the swim team practices fully clothed.
Similar to an iceberg, team traditions can't fully be seen above the surface. Jada Linthicum from the volleyball and swim team said, "Some people think some of our traditions are super weird, like our snow picture we take every year during the winter, but it's what we always do, and it's important to us." "It's a really big part in making us a family, rather than a team," Linthicum said.
These traditions are often the source of what brings a team together and makes them a family. "We all hang out together a lot and are all really close and always joke around and have really close relationships with each other and our coaches," Tanner Guerrettaz said. These are the vital parts of any team that makes their bonds with each other so strong. "I think these traditions bring us together because it's something that we can all do together," said Hannah Armpriester.
A tradition might also hold a special place in a team's heart because of it's origin. Linthicum said, "Last year we started a new tradition because we all wanted to do something for Christmas, so we came up with Sectional Santa where we gave everyone secret gifts before Sectionals.". …We're definitely doing it again next year," she confirms about the newly created tradition.
Many teams have similar traditions, but they celebrated differently. For example, most teams have an event called "Senior Night" where all the 12th graders on the team are recognized. Armpriester said of the soccer team, "Our last home game of the year is dedicated to the seniors." However, the football team has a different take on "Senior Night," as they have a banquet to honor their athletes in their last year as an MHS athlete.
Another tradition that is popular among all sports are team chants. Guerrettaz says that the tennis team has a chant they do before every match. Many traditions are so similar yet different because of the differences of each team. "Some teams are closer than others and some teams are around each other more and have the chances to make traditions," Linthicum said.
Whether team traditions are silly or sentimental, they are always something for everyone to remember. They help define a team's attitude and determine the team's mentality as a whole. Team traditions have forever been and will continue to be an important aspect to any team.

That's so good!!


Narrated Power point training program on Autism Spectrum Disorder that takes 15 - 20 min. to view, perfect for roll call. As the prevalence of Autism Spectrum disorder increases, so does the chance of interaction with First Responders. Learning how to recognize someone with ASD and knowing how to safely interact can make the connection smoother.

Q: Unable to get the value from a query with WHERE Clause I am trying to get the Total Sum of values from a table. Query works without WHERE Clause, but i need to get the total sum per user. Like user ABC has 100USD and user BDC has 200USD. Here is the code
$PWithdrawls = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT * FROM withdraw WHERE status='Pending'");
$S_NO = 0;

while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($PWithdrawls)) {
    $S_NO++;

    $posted_by          = mysqli_query($con,"SELECT * FROM users WHERE userId=".$row['seller_id']);
    $user_ad            = mysqli_fetch_assoc($posted_by);

    $TotalOrders_Amount = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT SUM(amount) as total FROM orders WHERE userId=".$row['seller_id']);
    $sum_amount         = mysqli_fetch_assoc($TotalOrders_Amount);
    $sum                = $sum_amount['total'];

And here is my call
<td>$<?php echo $sum; ?></td>

Here is DB

A: Think you have error in your SQL Query:
SELECT SUM(amount) as total FROM orders WHERE userId=".$row['seller_id'] GROUP BY userId LIMIT 1

You need to use GROUP BY to get actual SUM. Also you can get all users with Total, there is no need to second query:
SELECT u.*, SUM(o.amount) AS total
FROM users u
LEFT JOIN orders o ON (o.userId = u.id)
GROUP BY u.userId

This should get you entire user row + total of their orders.

A: I found the issue. I was calling the wrong variable. userId was not in my table, it was seller_id. So correct query was
$TotalOrders_Amount = mysqli_query($con, "SELECT SUM(amount) as total FROM orders WHERE seller_id=".$row['seller_id']);

Thanks to everyone. I really appreciate.

The White Sox will retire Mark Buehrle's number this June
By Craig CalcaterraFeb 23, 2017, 11:21 AM EST
Mark Buehrle last pitched in 2015, for the Toronto Blue Jays. He was still pretty effective and toyed with the idea of pitching last season, but he never signed anywhere and is, for all intents and purposes, retired.
Now at least his number will be retired officially. It will be done by the club for which he had the most success and with which he is, obviously, most associated:
Big news: White Sox will retire Mark Buehrle's number 56 on June 24th.
Buehrle pitched for the White Sox for 12 years. He was the model of consistency and durability in Chicago, logging over 200 innings a season in every single season but his rookie year, when he was primarily a reliever. He was a solid defender, a multi-time All-Star, tossed a perfect game in 2009 and helped the Chisox to their first World Series title in 88 years in 2005.
He was also one of baseball's fastest workers, so I'm going to assume that, in his honor, the number retirement ceremony will last, like, a minute 20, after which everyone can get on with their dang day.

Elche goalkeeper Francis Uzoho has been ruled out of the Super Eagles of Nigeria clash against South Africa in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers due to an injury which will keep him out for four weeks.
As reported by Owngoalnigeria.com earlier today, Uzoho left the pitch on a stretcher after conceding five goals in Elche's 5-1 loss against Cadiz yesterday with an issue related to improper breathing.
The club has now confirmed he won't be available for the next four weeks which effectively rules him out of Nigeria's game against South Africa in the AFCON 2019 Qualifiers and also the friendly game against Uganda.
To that effect first choice goalkeeper of Enyimba Theophilus Afelokhai has been contacted to act as cover for the duo of Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Daniel Akpeyi who were the other goalkeepers in the list for the games.
Afelokhai was first choice ahead of Ezenwa in Enyimba's CAF Confederation Cup campaign, no thanks to the disciplinary issue that made the team to suspend regular first choice shot stopper Fatau Dauda .

A GREEK TRAGEDY – FOR REAL
Although the financial crisis is long gone, the affect it had on Greece still lingers. And it will for decades to come. Over 400,000 Greeks have left the country, heading toward more fertile pastures. Lack of jobs and opportunity is the reason. Those leaving aren't common olive oil mongers, but the well educated professionals who seek a better life in their new environs. Today, to put it mildly, "Greece is in the Poor House" never fully recovering from the financial implosion. In fact their economy is laboring 25% below what it was in 2008. Half dead and half alive, Rigor Mortis staring them in the face.
The Big Boys came to the rescue and with very harsh terms indeed. The European Union had strict demands, cut wages and raise taxes if you want to stay in the Euro. This was to be a suicide pact. Economist will tell you that doing so is a path to economic hell. What got Greece initially into this mess was their propensity and proclivity to spend other peoples money. The wall came quick and they hit it hard. For the past two decades the Greeks drank Ouzo, partied into the night, enjoyed the comforts of a spend all government, but most of all lied through it all by cooking the books. Now they are paying for their truancy by hard labor.

DESERT RATS PLANNED TO BOMB ATLANTA HOSPITAL – THE STORY FROM FOX NEWS
By Samuel Chamberlain | Fox News
Two linked to 'extremist Muslim' New Mexico compound wanted to attack hospital, prosecutors say
A couple accused of training children to carry out mass shootings at an "extremist Muslim" compound in the New Mexico desert singled out an Atlanta hospital as one target before police arrested them, according to court documents filed Friday.
Prosecutors in Taos County, citing interviews with the 11 children found at the compound earlier this month, claimed in the filing that Jany Leveille wanted to "confront 'corrupt' institutions or individuals … and reveal the 'truth' to these corrupt institutions or individuals."
In addition to charges of child neglect against her, Leveille also is being held on accusations by federal immigration authorities that she overstayed her non-immigrant visitor visa after arriving 20 years ago in the United States from her native Haiti. She was returned Thursday to Taos from a federal holding facility in Texas.

JOHN McCAIN – A NATIONAL HERO – PRISONER OF WAR
On July 29, 1967, McCain was a lieutenant commander when he was near the epicenter of the USS Forrestal fire. He escaped from his burning jet and was trying to help another pilot escape when a bomb exploded; McCain was struck in the legs and chest by fragments. The ensuing fire killed 134 sailors and took 24 hours to control. With the Forrestal out of commission, McCain volunteered for assignment with the USS Oriskany, another aircraft carrier employed in Operation Rolling Thunder. Once there, he would be awarded the Navy Commendation Medal and the Bronze Star Medal for missions flown over North Vietnam.
John McCain has passed, (CLICK)the country morns a hero who by his own standards would not agree to be freed while spending treacherous days in the Hanoi Hilton unless his men were freed before him. During the Vietnam War, he was almost killed. While McCain was on a bombing mission during Operation Rolling Thunder over Hanoi in October 1967, he was shot down, seriously injured, and captured by the North Vietnamese. He was a prisoner of war until 1973. McCain experienced episodes of torture and refused an out-of-sequence early repatriation offer.
FROM WIKIPEDIA: He secured the presidential nomination in 2008 after coming back from early reversals, but was defeated by the smooth talking previously unknown Democratic nominee Barack Obama in the general election, losing by a 365–173 electoral college margin. On September 24, McCain said he was temporarily suspending his campaign activities, called on Obama to join him, and proposed delaying the first of the general election debates with Obama, in order to work on the proposed U.S. financial system bailout before Congress, which was targeted at addressing the subprime mortgage crisis and liquidity crisis.
During and after the final debate, McCain compared Obama's proposed policies to socialism and often invoked "Joe the Plumber" as a symbol of American small business dreams that would be thwarted by an Obama presidency. McCain barred using the Jeremiah Wright controversy in ads against Obama, but the campaign did frequently criticize Obama regarding his purported relationship with Bill Ayers. McCain's rallies became increasingly vitriolic, with attendees denigrating Obama and displaying a growing anti-Muslim and anti-African-American sentiment. During a campaign rally in Minnesota, Gayle Quinnell, a 75-year old McCain supporter said she did not trust Obama because "he's an Arab", McCain pointedly replied to the woman, "No ma'am. He's a decent family man, citizen, that I just happen to have disagreements with on fundamental issues."
McCain was a true servant of the United States; a remarkable career serving her. Always putting service first above all others. However, his political career took a different path, that of MAVERICK. Whenever he could McCain went his way. The quintessential example is his vote which allowed Obamacare to live another day. As a soldier his ultimate commander was the President; as a Senator, McCain's ultimate commander was himself. No president was about to tell him what to do. This caused great tension between him and President Trump. This feud continued to the end. CLICK here for the background music between the two. Additionally, CLICK here for the facts concerning McCain's extramarital affairs. – sounds a little bit like Trump to us. But in the end, Trump became Commander in Chief. And when it came to the Republican agenda, McCain went AWOL. The feud never subsided.
In the end it wasn't about the Republican Party, It was all about John McCain, a war hero to many; one who proudly served his country in war and peace. God Bless Senator John McCain, may he rest in peace.
DEMOCRATS CHOOSE TO PURSUE THE LOW ROAD – THAT'S THE ONLY ROAD THEY EVER KNEW
One second after President Trump's surprising win, the Democrats activated the the "low road" and went on the warpath. These malcontents were not a wee bit pleased that a Republican, one who engineered his own train, one who would soon be breaking all the rules as he did in the campaign won. This did not sit well with socialist welfare leach, the brainwashed college student, the state and local government libs looking for a handout. "WAR IT MUST BE" was their position. And so it was from day one.
When you have nothing to offer but "CRUMBS" and "DEPLORABLE REMARKS" you antagonize the enemy, you bring hate to the table, you character assassinate, you do anything you can to destroy the opposition. On the other hand, if you have a plan, an agenda "you win for America." And that is what Donald J. Trump is doing, winning for America.
Trump is no archetype, no yes man, Trump does not fit the traditional mold as a double talking head let lose out of both sides of his mouth political hack. So, the Democrats in a tizzy fit are raging with hate filled vitriol.
The Democrats and their allies in the media will continue to berate the President. No truth from them, but only liberal propaganda and lies. More media personnel have been fired over the past year for falsifying information including not revealing exculpatory evidence. And why do they do this? To protect the guilty! Trump is outing the criminals in government, the takers, the deal makers and those donors who have their handout for contracts or access. This is what the other side is afraid of. Don't let the media circus of Cohen and Manafort blind you, these guys were small potatoes in the scheme of things.
We will not sleep until Tony Podesta and Hillary Clinton are locked up. BOTH WERE THE HEADS OF A CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE.

HOLD DEMOCRATS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF MOLLY AND KATE
Once again, we don't have to remind you, but like a bomb going off somewhere in the world, an educated guess is that the perpetrator is without a doubt a Muslim Jihadist, a member of ISIS; so it has come to pass once again in a different venue.
The murder of Kate Steinle by an illegal alien brought to light the disaster of illegals crossing our border with impunity. This focused on the disastrous policies of prior administrations. And we know now that the Steinle case was not an isolated incident. So it was inevitable more killings by illegals was to come. And it did. Molley Tibbetts was to be the latest victim – tracked and murdered in cold blood by an Illegal Alien who crossed the border from Mexico.
These beautiful young girls could be your sister, your daughter, your mother. Don't forget them and don't ever forget who is responsible for their deaths.
The broad contours of Tibbetts's death are reminiscent of the case of Kate Steinle, a 32-year-old white woman whose 2015 death, after she was struck by a bullet in a popular area of San Francisco, has become a cri de coeur for Trump and other conservatives and proponents of harsher immigration laws. An undocumented immigrant, Jose Ines Garcia Zarate, was later convicted on a gun charge related to Steinle's death. Zarate had already been deported from the United States five times.
But don't tell this to the pundits. For example Chris Cuomo defends the illegals by his satirical bull shit, saying that illegals commit less crimes.

SATURDAY NIGHT MASSACRE – CHICAGO MY HOME TOWN – BOOM TOWN – THE TRUTH HURTS
Chicago, "the windy city", "the deadly city", "Chitown", "the Daly City", "an all American city", "butcher to the world", " "my Home Town." They do things different in Chicago, DON'T THEY? Democrat run city blistering with bullets whizzing by. Killings are an hourly occurrence, deadly neighborhoods, the South side seeing the bulk of the driveby hits. But wait, isn't Chicago run by Democrats? You mean they can't protect their citizens from crime? Why not?
Gang warfare is eliminating many criminals who most likely would be arrested sometime in the future. Frontier justice sometimes works for the good.
The Mayor of Chicago, none other than the quintessential liberal, Rahm Emanuel, is under fire from the liberal mob. What did he do to deserve their wrath. HE TOLD THE TRUTH. Gee that is something lacking in the progressive circles. Blaming ones own for a sellout is tantamount to heresy. CLICK HERE FOR THIS YEARS STATISTICS.

pictures and story below from FOX NEWS
As Chicago braces for another bloody weekend, Mayor Rahm Emanuel is once again coming under fire for blaming a lack of morals in predominantly black and Hispanic neighborhoods for the recent spate of violent crime.
Emanuel, who has been mayor since 2011 and is facing growing calls to resign from members of his own party, urged locals to "be a neighbor" and "speak up" to help law enforcement pursue killers, gang members and drug dealers.
After one particularly violent weekend earlier this month when more than 70 people were shot, Emanuel deflected questions about police staffing and strategy. Instead, he ignited a firestorm when he said there needs to be a politically incorrect conversation about character and values.
RAHM LET US GIVE YOU SOME ADVICE, for God's sake "Don't talk that way in the hood" – you could be the next HIT, not by gang member, but by a member of your own party. Sometimes the truth hurts.

GETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THIS – TIME FOR TRUMP TO ROLL HEADS – THIS WAS AN INSIDE COUP
BRUCE OHR is an operative who like many "cloak and dagger" guys keeps out of the limelight; a shady character – that is till now.
Who is Bruce Ohr?
Ohr wrote that Christopher Steele, the ex-British spy who wrote the salacious dossier, was "very concerned (abt) about [former FBI Director James] Comey's firing — afraid they will be exposed."
The Ohr documents shed more light on Steele's activities before the presidential election. While Steele shopped the dossier to multiple media outlets, he also appeared to ask Ohr for help with a Russian oligarch — Oleg Deripaska — after rumors the U.S. might impose sanctions.
Ohr had a conflict of interest during the presidential campaign and transition, congressional investigators say, because his wife Nellie worked for Fusion GPS. Steele, an ex-British spy, was a key source cited by the FBI and Department of Justice to obtain a FISA (Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act) warrant to monitor Page.
FBI INCORRECTLY TOLD FISA COURT FOUR TIMES THAT STEELE WASN'T SOURCE OF REPORT USED TO JUSTIFY CARTER PAGE SURVEILLANCE
After the FBI dropped Steele as a source in November 2016 over his contacts with the media, the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee found that Steele had maintained contact with government officials by effectively using Ohr as a back channel.
During recent congressional testimony, now-fired FBI agent Peter Strzok confirmed that "the FBI received documents and material from Mr. Ohr."
On Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders announced that President Trump had terminated former CIA Director John Brennan's security clearance, and was reviewing the clearances of several other former officials. Sanders read a statement from Trump that cited what he described as Brennan's misleading testimony before Congress and his increasingly partisan rhetoric, saying Brennan improperly traded on his access to classified information.
"For this reason, I've also begun to review the more general question of the access to classified information by government officials," Trump's statement read. "As part of this review I'm evaluating action with respect to the following individuals: James Clapper, James Comey, Michael Hayden, Sally Yates, Susan Rice, Andrew McCabe, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page and Bruce Ohr."
Ohr is the only official on that list still working in the U.S. government.
During closed-door congressional testimony last year, the co-founder of Fusion GPS, Glenn Simpson, claimed he had no contact with Ohr until after the presidential election. But Ohr's work emails conflict with Simpson's testimony, and show contact months earlier.
Ohr's notes also indicate that in December 2016, there was a meeting in Washington, D.C.'s Chinatown between Fusion GPS' Simpson and Ohr, with Ohr writing, "Glen(n) gave me a memory stick."
Reacting to the news late Thursday, President Trump suggested the disclosures were more proof of a "witch hunt" against him.
"DOJ's Emails & Notes show Bruce Ohr's connection to (phony & discredited) Trump Dossier," Trump wrote. "A creep thinking he would get caught in a dishonest act. Rigged Witch Hunt!"
FROM THE The Washington Post
Fusion GPS was started by investigative reporter Glenn R. Simpson among others. They started investigating Trump under a contract with the Washington Free Beacon, a conservative website financially supported by GOP megadonor Paul Singer in 2015. That assignment ended once Trump was on track to win the nomination. But in April 2016, Fusion was hired by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee to keep funding the research. Look at this another way; a lawyer represents a husband in a divorce proceeding then turns around and represent the wife once the divorce is settled. Is that legal? Is there a code of ethics addressing these types of situations? However it is apparent that no code of ethics exists in the blood sport of politics.
Steele, a former British intelligence officer with ties to the FBI and the U.S. intelligence community, was hired by Fusion to examine Trump's ties in Russia. Steele was the author of the "dossier" alleging ties between Trump and Russia; the dossier is actually several memos, based on conversations with Russian sources, that were written between June and December of 2016.
The probe into the Trump campaign originally was sparked by a separate matter that Steele never wrote about — a tip from an Australian diplomat that a Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, appeared to know Russia had obtained damaging emails on the Democrats. Ohr, head of Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces (OCDETF) was associate deputy attorney general until late 2017, when the DOJ learned of his contacts with Steele.
Ohr's wife, Nellie, is a consultant and Russia specialist who has done some work for Fusion GPS. The majority report of the House Intelligence Committee said she was "employed by Fusion GPS to assist in the cultivation of opposition research on Trump. Also, Bruce Ohr and Steele knew each other, apparently because of organized-crime issues. Simpson knew Ohr as well,
In testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Simpson said Steele suggested he speak to Ohr after the "very surprising" victory by Trump. But on July 1, 2016, shortly after Steele filed the first report for Fusion and only a few days before he met with an FBI agent to discuss his findings, Steele wrote to Ohr: "There is something separate I wanted to discuss with you informally and separately. It concerns our favorite business tycoon!"
On July 30, Steele met Bruce and Nellie Ohr for breakfast in Washington. And Bruce Ohr apparently spoke to Simpson on Aug. 22, according to phone logs reviewed by York.
The House majority report pointedly notes: "In September 2016, Steele admitted to Ohr his feelings against then candidate Trump when Steele said he 'was desperate that Donald Trump not get elected and was passionate about him not being president.'"

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Jeff Gordon's immense influence on NASCAR was highlighted during a star-packed Hall of Fame induction ceremony befitting a driver who changed the trajectory of an entire sport.
Gordon was the top vote-getter in the 10th class of the Hall of Fame, which included the late drivers Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki, as well as team owners Roger Penske and Jack Roush. Gordon received 96 percent of the vote, falling just short of the Hall of Fame's first unanimous selection, in his first year of eligibility.
This class was the first in which all five inductees competed against each other at the same time. Gordon made his Cup debut in the 1992 season finale, won by Kulwicki in part because Allison wrecked early. The stage was set for three new drivers to star in NASCAR and challenge Dale Earnhardt's long reign of NASCAR dominance.
The following year, a pair of aviation accidents in a span of 102 days altered NASCAR permanently.
Kulwicki died in an April 1 plane crash returning to Bristol Motor Speedway from a sponsor appearance. Allison died July 12 when he crashed the helicopter he was piloting in the infield at Talladega Superspeedway, where he'd gone with Red Farmer to watch Neil Bonnett's son test for his Busch Series debut.
Gordon had a quiet rookie year while Earnhardt went on to his sixth championship and added his seventh title the next season. Gordon eventually took Allison's role as Earnhardt's nemesis by dethroning him in 1995.
Gordon won four titles over seven seasons. Earnhardt never won another.
Gordon spoke at length of how good timing and lucky breaks aided his career, particularly when he was hired by Rick Hendrick to move to the Cup series in 1992.
"All the hard work, seizing the moment as often as possible in every good car I had a chance to drive, introducing myself to anyone I could, hoping and wishing that the right person or car owner saw enough in me to take a chance — and Rick Hendrick was that individual," Gordon said.
His induction into the Hall of Fame completes the famed No. 24 team as Hendrick and crew chief Ray Evernham are already members. Gordon was inducted by Hendrick, his daughter Ella and son Leo. He was introduced by Kyle Larson, who followed his childhood idol out of California through sprint cars into NASCAR.
Jim Hunter, NASCAR's former spokesman, was posthumously awarded the Landmark Award for contributions to the sport.
Kulwicki, who moved from Wisconsin to Charlotte in 1984 with a car he built himself towed by his pickup truck, was honored by fellow Wisconsin native Matt Kenseth and Felix Sabates, the executor of Kulwicki's estate.
Kulwicki was the reigning NASCAR champion at the time of his death — he beat Bill Elliott in the 1992 season finale by 10 points to win the title — and Sabates noted that Kulwicki spent $2.84 million on his championship season.
"Somewhere he's doing his trademark Polish victory lap because tonight he's a NASCAR Hall of Famer," Kenseth said of Kulwicki's celebration of driving clockwise so his window faced the fans.
Allison, a beloved member of the "Alabama Gang," was honored with a video message from Alabama football coach Nick Saban. He was introduced by Matt Crafton and Regan Smith, and inducted by his son, Robbie.
The son of Hall of Famer Bobby Allison and nephew of Donnie Allison, Davey Allison learned his skills around Alabama tracks and his break came in 1987 when he replaced Cale Yarborough.
He finished second in the next season's Daytona 500 to his father, the only father-son 1-2 finish in NASCAR's signature race.
Penske, the icon of motorsports, last year celebrated Team Penske's 500th victory as an organization. He won the Cup championship with Joey Logano and the Indianapolis 500 with Will Power.
He was introduced by Logano, Brad Keselowski and Ryan Blaney, and inducted by his son, Greg.
"He's known as 'The Captain' but to us, he's also known as a mentor, fierce competitor, role model and friend," Logano said.
Penske in 2016 celebrated his 50th season in racing. He built the two-mile speedway in Fontana, California, in 1996, and at one time owned Michigan International Speedway.
"He's a true titan of industry and a leader in advancing the popularity of American motorsports for more than 50 years as a team owner, track owner and even a driver," Blaney said.
Penske credited motorsports with building his corporation and setting the pace for his success.
Roush was introduced by Ricky Stenhouse Jr., one of his current drivers, and inducted by 2017 Hall of Fame driver Mark Martin.
Roush, who wore his trademark Panama hat for his induction, said few expected him to succeed when he launched his NASCAR team in 1988. But Roush drivers have won a record 322 races across NASCAR's three national series and the organization has five national series owner championships. Roush is a graduate-level mathematician, engineering entrepreneur and a strong supporter of the Detroit automotive scene and Ford Motor Co.
"Few if any knowledgeable fans and even fewer Cup team personnel would have given me favorable odds of surviving for more than three decades, as I stand before you tonight," Roush said.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There was no need for Roger Penske to stay awake for Daytona's 24-hour sports car race. Penske has people to do that for him, and hanging out atop a pit stand watching telemetry for two trips around the clock is slightly below his paygrade.
When he did it last year, Team Penske's return season to sports cars racing, somebody had dared "The Captain" to hunker down for the entire Rolex 24 at Daytona. It was an impressive effort many who are far younger than Penske have failed to complete.
Once he had finished the first 24-hour race it seemed silly to do it again, particularly during the cold and blustery rainstorm that drowned Daytona International Speedway on Sunday.
But Penske had committed to be part of the team for the entire event and Team Penske, so organized and unflappable, had meticulously prepared for the conditions.
Penske's transporter was stacked with thermal underwear — "I've got my ski stuff here," he said — heavy water resistant coats and black beanies branded with the Penske mark. The pit stand had been renovated to create additional space so Penske didn't have to sit all night, a lesson learned from last year's race, and overhead heaters had been installed.
When the poor weather finally hit the speedway, the crew zipped clear flaps and enclosed the pit stand to escape the wind and torrential rain.
A month shy of his 82nd birthday, in the heaviest rain many racing veterans had ever seen, Penske pulled his beanie down low and hunkered down for an all-nighter.
His reasoning? Should he step away even briefly and one of his two cars had some sort of problem, Penske wanted to be present for problem-solving and strategic decisions.
"I could never do that, I could never stay up," said Penske driver Ricky Taylor, who noted after the final practice session before the Rolex that Penske had noticed an irregularity on the track and found Taylor to show him where to avoid.
Helio Castroneves, winner of three Indy 500s for Penske, wasn't at all surprised to see his boss there for the long haul.
Penske had a sensible rebuttal for Castroneves' claim that the boss rarely sleeps.
"Guess it all depends on if it is something worth staying awake for," he said.
Next up is Penske's Friday night induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame's 10th class, which was one of the most competitive elections in years. Jeff Gordon is the headliner , along with Davey Allison and Alan Kulwicki, drivers both killed in aviation accidents at the prime of their careers. Team owners Penske and Jack Roush, a pair of Detroit fixtures who intertwined their many business interests with the automotive industry and motorsports, were elected together.
"Listen I'm just glad they let guys in from the North," Penske joked about his induction with Roush. Both team owners had been on the ballot several years before they were voted in last May, shortly before Will Power won Penske another Indy 500 title.
Penske was elected based on his entire body of work, even though this Hall of Fame is specific to NASCAR. The voting was done five days before the biggest Sunday in racing of the year. Penske started his day with four Chevrolets racing at Indianapolis, where Power won, then the action resumed in North Carolina at the Coca-Cola 600 with three Penske Fords and a fourth affiliated car in the field.
The election was one part of a season in which Penske won both the IndyCar races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, the NASCAR race at the Brickyard, the organization's 500th overall victory and NASCAR's cup title. Penske's long-awaited return to sports car racing was completed last season with a two-car Acura effort, and Scott McLaughlin won the Virgin Australia Supercars title one week after Joey Logano's surprise Cup championship.
Across all his platforms, it was the most consistent season for Penske, who in NASCAR now has two Cup titles and two Daytona 500 victories.
Penske leads by example with standards that require immaculate, crease-free uniforms and a commitment to excellence and professionalism. When Alexander Rossi was hired to join Penske's Rolex lineup, he shaved his beard on his final day of Christmas vacation and arrived in Daytona with a clean face for the first time in years. No one told him to shave, he just assumed it was the Penske way of doing things.
The organization is indeed buttoned up to Penske's preferences, but it's not as straight-laced as outsiders perceive.
They understand Penske is the man they must please and that he prefers winning but mandates a standard of excellence to all his processes.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — A pair of aviation accidents in a span of 102 days altered NASCAR by claiming two stars in their prime.
Alan Kulwicki and Davey Allison died just over three months apart during the 1993 season, which also happened to be Jeff Gordon's rookie year. Kulwicki was the reigning Cup champion at the time of his death and Allison the best bet to end Dale Earnhardt's reign.
The verdict was out on Gordon, an outsider from the West Coast who had come from sprint cars to make his mark on a predominantly Southern sport. Wherever Gordon was headed in NASCAR, Allison and Kulwicki were going to be in his path.
Gordon had a quiet rookie year while Earnhardt went on to his sixth championship and added his seventh title the next season. Gordon did eventually take Allison's role as Earnhardt's nemesis by dethroning him in 1995.
Gordon, Allison and Kulwicki, forever intertwined in NASCAR history, were set for induction into the NASCAR Hall of Fame together on Friday night. Roger Penske and Jack Roush, Detroit-based stalwarts of the auto industry and champion team owners, complete the 10th class.
Davey Allison was born into a racing family and although he preferred playing football, he was a member of NASCAR's vaunted "Alabama Gang" and settled on driving cars. He is the son of Hall of Famer Bobby Allison, a nephew of Donnie Allison, and he learned his skills at Alabama tracks. His break came in 1987 when he replaced Cale Yarborough in Ranier-Lundy's Ford Thunderbird and won two races and rookie of the year honors. The next season he finished second to his father for the only father-son 1-2 finish in Daytona 500 history. The 1992 Daytona 500 is among Allison's 19 career victories, and he entered the infamous 1992 season finale ranked first in the championship standings but crashed during the race. He fell to third in the final standings and his fatal helicopter crash was 16 races into the 1993 season.
He made his Cup debut in the 1992 season finale, the last race of Richard Petty's career, and three years later was the youngest NASCAR champion in the modern era with his first title at the age of 24. Gordon added championships in 1997, 1998 and 2001, and his 93 Cup victories rank third on the all-time list. Gordon won the Daytona 500 three times, the Brickyard 400 a record five times and holds NASCAR's "Iron Man" record with 797 consecutive starts. Gordon's rivalry with Dale Earnhardt drew new fans to NASCAR, and his charisma and savvy business sense pushed the sport beyond its regional boundaries. He's largely credited with attracting global corporations to NASCAR as new sponsors.
He was a short-track racer from Wisconsin when he arrived in Charlotte in 1984 pulling a self-built race car with his pickup truck but Kulwicki was determined to make it in NASCAR. He was the 1986 rookie of the year driving for his own AK Racing team, which operated with limited sponsorship and small budget. Kulwicki repeatedly turned down better offers to join established teams to run his own program and he did it successfully. The first of his five career victories was in 1988 at Phoenix, where he unveiled his "Polish Victory Lap" — a celebratory cool-down lap clockwise with the driver window facing the fans. He overcame a 278-point deficit with six races remaining in the 1992 season to win the Cup title by 10 points over Bill Elliott in what was the closest final championship margin of its time. Kulwicki was named to NASCAR's 50 Greatest Drivers list five years after his 1993 death in a plane crash.
Team Penske celebrated its 50th year in racing in 2016, the same season the team owner earned his 100th victory in NASCAR's Cup Series. His drivers have won two Cup titles and two Daytona 500s, and Penske tied an Xfinity Series record with three consecutive owner championships from 2013 to 2015. His election last May came days before Penske won the Indianapolis 500 for a record 17th time and in a season in which the organization also swept the major races at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, won the Australian Supercars championship, the organization's 500th victory and the Cup title with Joey Logano. Penske also built the two-mile speedway in Fontana, California, in 1996, and at one time owned Michigan International Speedway.
Roush owned drag racing teams but turned to NASCAR in 1988. Roush Racing became a hotbed for young talent and Roush is credited for launching the careers of Mark Martin, a Hall of Famer, champions Matt Kenseth and Kurt Busch, as well Jeff Burton, Greg Biffle and Carl Edwards. Roush teams have won a record 322 races across NASCAR's three national series and the organization has five NASCAR national series owner championships. Roush is a graduate-level mathematician, engineering entrepreneur, strong supporter of the Detroit automotive scene and Ford Motor Co., as well as a pilot. He was involved in two near-fatal plane crashes, including a 2002 scare in which he was rescued by a bystander from his capsized plane in an Alabama lake during Talladega race weekend. Eight years later, Roush lost his left eye when he crashed during an aborted landing in Wisconsin.
ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) — Bob Baffert's second-string colt won a Kentucky Derby prep race. Don't discount Mucho Gusto.
Last year, Baffert's top Derby hopeful McKinzie got injured. Second-stringer Justify went on to sweep the Derby, Preakness and Belmont, giving Baffert a second Triple Crown in three years.
Mucho Gusto won the $150,000 Robert B. Lewis Stakes by 4¾ lengths at Santa Anita on Saturday.
Ridden by Joe Talamo, Mucho Gusto ran 1 1/16 miles on a sloppy track in 1:41.81. The 3-year-old chestnut colt paid $3.20, $2.20 and $2.10 as the 3-5 favorite.
Mucho Gusto was purchased for $625,000 at the Timonium sale near the Maryland home of owner Michael Petersen. Baffert and Petersen saw the colt work in the slop before the sale and "he just smoked over it," the trainer said.
"I texted Bob to see if I should come out for the race and he was very confident," Petersen said.
Gunmetal Gray returned $2.40 and $2.10, while Easy Shot was another half-length back in third and paid $2.60 to show.
Magnificent McCool was fourth. Kid Cantina was pulled up at the top of the backstretch. Nolo Contesto was scratched, reducing the field to five.
Baffert earned his seventh win in the Lewis, named for his late client with whom he won the 1997 Kentucky Derby and Preakness with Silver Charm.
Mucho Gusto has three wins in four career starts. He's a son of Breeders' Cup Classic winner Mucho Macho Man.
Baffert saddled 1-2 favorite McKinzie to a second-place finish in the $200,000 San Pasqual Stakes. The 4-year-old colt got edged near the wire by Battle of Midway after they battled through the stretch.
— Harvey Wallbanger scored an upset at 29-1 odds in the $350,000 Holy Bull Stakes, winning by a length at Gulfstream Park.
