#### Newest brand ambassador on his way to Olympic history in Vancouver

Vancouver, BC, Feb. 13, 2010 – American speed skating star Apolo Anton Ohno added to his Olympic medal total when he claimed silver in the 1500-metre short track event at Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

OMEGA's newest brand ambassador tied Bonnie Blair as the most decorated American Winter Olympian of all time.

Korean Lee Jung-Su won the gold medal and Ohno's countryman J. R. Celski finished third to claim the bronze.

OMEGA began its Olympic timekeeping tradition at the Los Angeles 1932 Olympic Games.

In addition to its prominent role as the Official Timekeeper of the Olympic Games, OMEGA has been behind many of the most important technological developments in all of sports timekeeping – including new technologies for the sport of speed skating, many of which Ohno has experienced first-hand.

"In my sport, where the difference between a gold, silver and bronze medal comes down to 1/1000 of a second, OMEGA's cutting-edge timekeeping technology and unmatched accuracy give me the confidence to keep my focus on performing my absolute best," said Ohno.

"I am proud to partner with OMEGA here in Vancouver and help celebrate the brand's rich Olympic history.

It is an absolute honour to receive their support and be part of a brand that means so much to the Olympic Movement."

At the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, OMEGA introduced its Scan-O-Vision system for speed skating that digitally measured times to the nearest thousandth of a second as the skaters crossed the finish ligne.

The system effectively photographed time by fusing time and continuous picture in a single document, heralding a new chapter in the science of timekeeping.

At the Winter Games in Turin in 2006, where Ohno won three medals, transponders were strapped to the ankles of speed skaters so that timekeepers might capture a moment of sudden acceleration, the speed round a hairpin bend, or the abrupt end to a challenge as a racer crashed to the ice.

As the newest member of the OMEGA family, Ohno will wear the OMEGA Seamaster Planet Ocean Olympic Timeless Collection Chronograph.

To celebrate his relationship with the brand, Ohno will visit the recently-opened OMEGA Boutique in Vancouver for a special appearance following his performance at the Games, and will visit the OMEGA Flagship Boutique in New York City for a special appearance upon his return to the United States.

"We are very proud to support Apolo here in Vancouver and congratulate him on his outstanding performance," said OMEGA President Stephen Urquhart.

"He is poised to make history of his own here and we are thrilled that he is part of the OMEGA family."

A five-time Olympic medallist, Ohno is currently tied for the most career winter medals by a U.S. man.

He has won an Olympic medal in every event that he has competed, capturing gold (1500m) and silver (1000m) medals at the Salt Lake City 2002 Olympic Winter Games and gold (500m) and two bronze (1000m, 5000m relay) medals at the 2006 Winter Games in Torino.

He has been the top American short-track skater since 2001, capturing 12 U.S. National titles, three overall World Cup titles and becoming the first and only American to win the overall World Championships title.

The Seattle native's profile was elevated when he was the winning contestant on the popular American television programme "Dancing with the Stars" in 2007.

Ohno has had an interest in pursuing a career in the entertainment world. He participated and won the fourth season of the U.S. reality show "Dancing with the Stars" with his partner Julianne Hough. He returned for the 15th Season which features all-star celebrities. Ohno's interests in fashion led him to be a guest judge on the fashion reality show "Project Runway" in 2008, and to an endorsement deal with Omega, the maker of luxury watches, in 2010. Omega President Stephen Urquhart said, "We are very proud to support Apolo here in Vancouver and congratulate him on his outstanding performance.

Mayor of the City of Castries, 1981-1982

Resigned from the Civil Service in 1968 because of "political interference" by premiere Compton, vowing to "keep a vigilant watch on the way in which my country is being run", in my letter of resignation to the Chairman of the Public Service Commission, Mr. Francis Carasco

Joined the St. Lucia Labour Party in 1968, led by Lawyer Kenneth Foster, and kept faith with my vow of vigilance throughout

Dissatisfied with its modus operandi, not its policies, left the St. Lucia Labour Party, in 1972 and formed the St. Lucia Labour Action Movement (SLAM) with members of the defunct Forum, headed by George Odlum and Hilford Deterville (other non-Forum members being, inter alia, Julian Hunte, Thomas Walcott and Thomas James).

My reason for leaving the party was because the leader, Kenneth Foster, at my request, had agreed to support Judge Allan Louisy as leader, but when a meeting of the Executive was held at his office for that purpose, with Judge Louisy present, he changed his mind.

(SLAM adopted the same Constitution of the St.Lucia Labour Party, and I insisted that the word "Labour" be part of the party's name, as no third part was able to bear the combined onslaught of Labour and the UWP)

In 1974, Judge Louisy, then an acting Judge of the Court of Appeal retired and made his first speech at a public meeting on the Market Steps.

Present were, Kenneth Foster (Political Leader), Whitney Mauricette (Chairman), George Murray (General Secretary), other members of the Executive and myself, and the crème de le crème of SLAM, headed by George Odlum, Julian Hunte excluded

Judge Louisy's decision to join as an ordinary member came after a meeting with me in Laborie and in Grenada

While I was Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the Party from 1982, caused the rules of the 1951 Party to be changed in 1984, and nominated Julian Hunte as my replacement.

His several attempts, soon after, to get rid of me (his benefactor), because of a Senate position that was not forthcoming, left me no other choice, in 1987 but to seek refuge in Compton's U.W.P Camp, which, 20 years earlier I had vowed to set fire to, as it were.

(Sometimes to do a wrong thing to put an end to mischief becomes a sacred right and an imperative duty.

The words of the Public Relations Officer, "Let him go! Who needs him!"

have never ceased to ring in my ears after I walked out of the 1986 convention of the party held in Dennery

Elected Councillor of the nine member Castries City Council: 1970-1971 (the lone Labour Opposition Member)

Re-elected Councillor of the Castries City Corporation: 1971-1974 (the lone Opposition Member)

Mayor of the City of Castries: 1981-1982 (by Cabinet appointment)

Resigned as Mayor upon becoming Leader of the Opposition and Leader of the St. Lucia Labour Party in 1982

Director of St. Lucia Electricity Services: 1981- 1982 (ex-officio)

I. Political Service: Central Government

Elected on a Labour ticket to the House of Assembly as the Representative for Laborie: 1982-1987.

(Compton's U.W.P. won 14 seats, Labour 2 and Odlum's PLP,1), again almost the lone Labour opposition member

Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee: 1982-1987

Minister for Foreign Affairs: 1987-1992, after taking refuge in the Compton U.W.P Coup.

(He whom I had come to fight, I ended having to pray with)

Head of Saint Lucia Delegation on Windward Island Unity: 1989-1992

Head of CARICOM Delegation that restored democracy to Haiti in 1991, under Père Bertrand Aristide

By virtue of a Memorandum to Cabinet in 1990, caused the O.E.C.S to suspend diplomatic relations with North Korea for reprehensible, criminal conduct against South Korea and the democratic world

Based on statistics gathered, strongly supported the right of whale-eating countries like Japan and Norway to harvest a certain annual quota, as there would have been no depletion in the whale population, (a highly controversial issue in the UN and among environmentalists)

In support of intervention against the invasion of Kuwait by Iraq in August, 1990, in September, 1990, made the strongest statement in the U. N. in favour of intervention, by the use of the words, "by any means"

The release of the great Nelson Mandella from prison to head the Government of South Africa in 1990, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the crumblilng of the Soviet Union, were all achieved through concerted hammering by the democratic world, which included Caricom Foreign Ministers.

To this day, the Foreign Policy of St. Lucia has remained constant, guided by concepts of democracy, the rule of law and human rights, never by a "scratch my back I scratch yours" approach.

That policy was fully adumbrated and cast in stone by Prime Minister Compton and me, between 1982 and 1992, and remains as cast

L. Commendations from Prime Ministers, Ministers and Others

"I known Neville Cenac as a student of this school from 1953 - 1958.

He was quiet, pleasant and cooperative in manner and was a very good student": Rev. Bro. Ignatius Flahiv, Headmaster of St. Mary's College

"You have spoken better than the President of the United States" (Bill Turner of Texas, after my first speech on the Market Steps in 1968)

"Many a Labour supporter have rushed to the Market steps to listen to the unique performance of young Neville Cenac", (George Odlum in the 1974 Manifesto of the St. Lucia Labour Party")

"I have given you all a man better than myself, "(John Compton to an influential lobbyist in Washington in 1987).

When asked why he had given me the portfolio of Minister for Foreign Affairs to me

"It is you who inspire me": (Prime Minister, Dr. Kenny D. Anthony to me in 2004)

"Your father was a politician par excellence.

He was loved by the people, but I was respected.

(Dr. Velon John, was one of my severest critics.

He replaced me as the representative of Laborie).

(Thank you, Velon, you have purged yourself.

(Dr. Robert Lewis, the labour Minister for Education, after reading my article on why I was bound to cross the floor, entitled, "The Foretaste"

"Neville, you are the only one who has defended me" (Archbishop Kelvin Felix (now Cardinal Felix) to me regarding criticisms in the press that he had misappropriated the one million dollars contributed by past students of St. Mary's College to do work needed to be done on the College (Voice of St. Lucia)

Grand Cross of the Order of Saint Lucia (GCSL): 2018

Knight Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of Saint Michael and Saint George (GCMG): 2018

Award in 2005 in recognition of service as General-Secretary of the Civil Service Association (C.S.A.)

In my book, now ripe for publication, entitled, " The Politics of Snakes and Ladders", readers will be surprised to find that, single- handedly, and from 1974 to this day, I have been responsible for the making of almost every Political Leader, Prime Minister, Minister, Leader of the Opposition, or Parliamentarian of the Labour Party, and was wholly responsible even for the return of the octogenarian, John Compton of the U.W.P as Prime Minister in 2006, including those who have succeeded him

But for members of my family, virtually everything set-out here would be new, not being a trumpeter of my own virtues.

There is evidence to substantiate whatever needs to be substantiated

Further: in the book, one will see that I brought something valuable to every office held, and, in many cases, saved tax-payers millions of dollars, whether in foreign exchange tax, electricity consumption or otherwise

Though I laid the red carpet for everyone who became important, I remained in the shadows and would have been content, there to remain, had I not been betrayed, for my 1968 mission was, "to keep a vigilant watch on the way in which my country is being run".

That mission has become even more sacred, as Governor-General, the fountain of equity, the conscience of the State.

Sir Emmanuel Neville Cenac, GCSL, GCMG (born 24 November 1939) is the Governor-General of Saint Lucia. He was appointed to that post in January 2018. He was previously best known as a Saint Lucian politician, serving as the country's foreign minister from 1987 to 1992.
 On 18 January 2018, Cenac was appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG) in the 2018 Special Honours.

### What's Your Favorite Trance Anthem of 2017?

Stanley SuttonMusic and NewsNov 3, 2017A State Of TranceArmin Van BuurenTrance

After a resurgent 2016, trance music's return to glory continues to be one of the feel good stories in electronic dance music today.

This year has seen a wealth of brilliant releases from trance artists old and new.

Deciding what song is the cream of the crop?

There's no easy answer there, but it's not stopping one trance legend from finding out.

Armin van Buuren, the godfather of the genre, has opened his annual A State of Trance: Tune of the Year competition.

In it, fans are able to vote for their five favorite trance tunes released to date.

After voting closes on December 18th, the winner will be announced four days later on Armin's A State of Trance weekly radio show.

Last year, Aly & Fila's Unbreakable scored top honors.

Will the Egyptian trance duo be able to come out on top again?

Doing so won't be easy; the field is pretty fierce!

Gareth Emery and Standerwick's Saving Light might be the current favorite, based on how much praise it's received from Armin, and the global trance community, since it's release in January.

At one point, Saving Light was the number one song on the Beatport Top 100- the first time in five years that a trance song stood atop the website's signature chart.

## Telling Lies in America Ratings & Reviews Explanation

Karchy Jonas (Brad Renfro) was born in Hungary and immigrated to Cleveland, Ohio in the early 1960s where he felt adrift in a strange sea of American culture.

Jonas tries to fit in at the Catholic high school he attends but finds himself a laughing stock.

At home, his stern father (Maximilian Schell) insists that he adhere to traditional Hungarian ways.

Karchy's only respite is the rock & roll music he adores.

A year before he arrived, flashy, failed disc jockey Billy Magic (Kevin Bacon) rolled into town, found a job at WHK and became the host of the High School Hall of Fame contest, something that Karchy decides he must win so he too can be cool and therefore impress his lovely classmate Diney (Calista Flockhart).

Eventually, he does win and before long has made friends with Billy.

The DJ proves to be a real pal and pays Karchy a C-note a week to run a few errands and do odd jobs for him.

Some of those tasks involve taking money from promoters.

When not working, Billy is introducing Karchy to life's wild side.

But despite such fun times, there is much the naive youth is destined to learn the hard way about his new buddy Billy.

The film's story comes from screenwriter Joe Eszterhas' (Basic Instinct) script, penned around 1982.

, Eszterhas added a few autobiographical touches to the script.

## Critic Reviews for Telling Lies in America

While the elements in this coming-of-age saga may seem familiar...Eszterhas brings a fresh, immigrant's-eye perspective to his tale.

The Hungarian angle gives the film a little distinctiveness.

Kevin Bacon gives one of the best performances of his career

It's only rock 'n' roll, but you'll like it.

## Audience Reviews for Telling Lies in America

Cast: Kevin Bacon, Brad Renfro, Maximilian Schell, Calista Flockhart, Paul Dooley, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Luke Wilson, Damon Fletcher, Jerry Swindall, K.K. Dodds

Summary: Shy immigrant Karchy Jonas (Brad Renfro) is a social disaster at his 1960s American high school.

But things pick up when he pursues a cute, supermarket coworker (Calista Flockhart) and hooks up with a slick deejay (Kevin Bacon, in a standout performance) who shows Karchy life's wild--and dangerous--side.

My Thoughts: "The performances by Kevin Bacon and Brad Renfro are great, it's the script that leaves something to be desired.

There are also some very good actor's in here that are wasted by very limited roles.

There was some great music in this as well.

But just not as good as I thought it would be considering the talent."

There are no approved quotes yet for this movie.

"Telling Lies in America" received mixed to positive reviews from critics.


There are 469 people living on Arranmore and 62% are native Irish speakers.

(meta data) TITLE: Irish island of Arranmore is looking for new residents from the United States | The Irish Post

# Irish island of Arranmore is looking for new residents from the United States

ARRANMORE, the idyllic island 5km off the coast of Co. Donegal is looking for new residents to boost its population.

Its population has dropped to just 469 people and the island has recently written open letters to the people of the United States and Australia, urging them to relocate there.

They're being offered the chance to swap the hustle and bustle of big cities for the calm and beauty of Arranmore.

The island has recently undergone huge technological advancement and has become the recipient of Ireland's very first offshore digital hub.

Not only are they offering new residents the chance of a delightful place to retire to, the community is trying to make the island a more attractive place for families and business people who work remotely.

Arranmore now boasts of internet speeds that rival Dublin, London and New York City.

They list graphic designers, games developers, photographers and app developers as just some of the professionals who have made successful careers while working on the island.

In their letter to the US, they said: "Your commute, no matter where you are, will only ever be five minutes.

You'll have the best diving in Ireland on your doorstep and seafood to rival the tastiest New England chowder.

"There are fewer people here than would fit in a couple of Amtrak carriages, but enough musicians and good irish whiskey to keep the party going well into the night," the letter continued.

The island is just five miles by three miles wide and is smattered with rocky cliffs, stretched beaches and sea caves.

Arranmore has a population of just under 500 people

Historically, traditional industries like farming and fishing have dominated the island, but they're not enough to keep young people from leaving.

As a result, the population has been dropping rapidly for 30 years and the island is in danger of losing its structure.

The island is twinned with Beaver Island in Lake Michigan.

In the 1800s, families evicted from Arranmore relocated to Beaver island and most of the residents who live there today can trace their roots back to the Irish island.

It's hoped that with the advent of high-speed internet, which has changed the professional landscape of the island, and by reaching out to the likes of America and Australia for residents, Arranmore can attract enough people to not only keep the island's population up, but also to transform it into one of Ireland's most attractive places to live.

# Planned Sale of the Weinstein Company Collapses Again

Maria Contreras-Sweet, the leader of the investor group that agreed to a deal for most of the Weinstein Company's assets, said the buyers had received "disappointing information" that led them to terminate the deal.

LOS ANGELES — The planned sale of the Weinstein Company collapsed yet again on Tuesday, when the investor group that had agreed to purchase the embattled studio said that it had called off the deal after receiving "disappointing information."

The investor group, led by Maria Contreras-Sweet, who ran the Small Business Administration under President Barack Obama, and the Weinstein Company's board announced last week that an agreement to buy most of the assets of the near-bankrupt studio had finally been reached.

The deal called for the group to pay off the Weinstein Company's debt, which it believed totaled around $225 million.

In return, the group would receive the majority of the studio's assets, which include "Project Runway" and a 277-film library.

But once the buyers began looking deeper into the Weinstein Company's finances, they discovered that it had more debt than they had been led to believe, according to two people briefed on the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential information.

Additional liabilities totaling between $55 million and $65 million were discovered, including $27 million in unpaid residuals and profit participation; and $20 million in accounts payable.

The Weinstein Company's board said in a statement that it was "disappointed" by the investors' decision to pull out of the agreement.

"The investors' excuse that they learned new information about the company's financial condition is just that — an excuse," the board said.

"The company has been transparent about its dire financial condition."

The board vowed that it would not stop trying to find a way to avoid bankruptcy.

"We will continue to work tirelessly — as we have for months — to determine if there are any viable options," it said.

Ms. Contreras-Sweet declined to discuss the decision beyond a statement issued by the investor group, which included the billionaire Ron Burkle, who has a long history with the Weinstein Company, and Lantern Capital, a Texas private-equity firm.

"I believe that our vision to create a women-led film studio is still the correct course of action," Ms. Contreras-Sweet said in the statement.

"To that end, we will consider acquiring assets that may become available in the event of bankruptcy proceedings, as well as other opportunities that may become available in the entertainment industry."

Ms. Contreras-Sweet went on to thank numerous parties, including Mr. Burkle and Tarak Ben Ammar, a Franco-Tunisian financier and film producer who is one of three remaining members of the Weinstein Company's board.

Conspicuously absent were the other two: Lance Maerov, an executive at the advertising giant WPP Group, and the co-owner Bob Weinstein, who has been struggling to keep the studio afloat since October, when The New York Times and The New Yorker disclosed decades of sexual harassment allegations against his brother, Harvey Weinstein.

Harvey Weinstein has denied engaging in "nonconsensual sex."

The on-again, off-again effort by Ms. Contreras-Sweet's group to buy most of the Weinstein Company's assets encountered its first major snag last month.

Eric T. Schneiderman, the New York attorney general, filed a lawsuit against the company and the Weinstein brothers on Feb. 11 alleging that they had violated state and city laws barring gender discrimination, sexual harassment and coercion.

At the time, Mr. Schneiderman said that the deal being discussed between Ms. Contreras-Sweet and the Weinstein Company was unacceptable because it did not adequately compensate victims, protect employees and ensure that those who enabled or perpetuated Mr. Weinstein's conduct would not be rewarded.

The Weinstein Company and the investor group moved to address those concerns, but the studio's board announced on Feb. 25 that it would file for bankruptcy because Ms. Contreras-Sweet had not delivered on a promise to fund the studio's operations until a transaction was completed.

Mr. Schneiderman got the deal back on track late last week, when he hosted a meeting between the two sides at his offices.

He did so after the buyers and sellers had committed to terms that satisfied his concerns.

The deal reached in that meeting, for instance, included a victims' fund worth up to $90 million.

Harvey and Bob Weinstein, who jointly own about 42 percent of the Weinstein Company, would receive no cash from the sale.

Amy Spitalnick, the press secretary for the attorney general, said in a statement on Tuesday that Mr. Schneiderman's lawsuit against the Weinstein Company and the Weinstein brothers remained active and an investigation into wrongdoings at the studio was ongoing.

The attorney general's office also did not rule out the possibility that an already protracted sale process could have further twists.

"We'll be disappointed if the parties cannot work out their differences and close the deal," Ms. Spitalnick said.

After failing to find other buyers who would keep the studio intact — Lionsgate, Shamrock Capital Advisors, Killer Content and the Qatari company beIN Media Group were among those considering various pieces — the Weinstein Company board entered into exclusive negotiations with Ms. Contreras-Sweet's group in late January.

Ms. Contreras-Sweet has no experience in Hollywood, but she is known in Los Angeles business and political circles.

Much of her business career was spent at a California 7Up bottler, where she became vice president of public affairs and a part owner, according to her website.

She then ran the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency, managing a $14 billion budget.

After that, she co-founded a private equity firm and in late 2006 founded ProAmerica Bank, which focused on Latino small business owners.

The bank struggled and was sold in 2015.

An earlier version of this article misstated the size of the budget that Maria Contreras-Sweet managed at the California Business, Transportation and Housing Agency.

 The Weinstein Company (usually credited or abbreviated as TWC) was an American independent film studio, founded in New York City by Bob and Harvey Weinstein in 2005. TWC was one of the largest mini-major film studios in North America prior to its financial troubles and eventual bankruptcy in February 2018. Founder and chief executive Bob Weinstein previously owned a small stake in the company.
 The company dismissed joint founder and chief executive Harvey Weinstein in October 2017, after over 100 women came forward to accuse him of sexual harassment, assault or rape.
 On February 26, 2018, The Weinstein Company announced in a statement that it would declare bankruptcy following the collapse of a buyout deal with an investor group led by Maria Contreras-Sweet. However, in a surprising turn, the TWC board and the investor group confirmed on March 1, 2018, that they had reached a deal in which TWC would sell all of its assets for US$500 million.


After that he lived in retirement for 4 years in Montana until his death at the age of 24.

(meta data) PUBLISHER: https://www.facebook.com/pages/ProRodeo-Hall-of-Fame-Museum-of-the-American-Cowboy/91858739861

Scottie, who was owned by Walt Linderman, carried three different cowboys to four world championships – Harley May in 1965, Jack Roddy in 1966 and '68, and John W. Jones Sr. in 1970, when he rode Scottie as one of his mounts during the regular season.

The chestnut gelding was also responsible for winning six average titles at the National Finals Rodeo between 1964 and his final appearance in 1973.

He also helped Linderman finish second in the average three times.

For good measure, Scottie carried Lynn Perry to the College National Finals Rodeo championship in 1971, and the horse helped win the high school national title in 1977 for Troy Yetter.

Linderman bought Scottie in 1964 as a hazing horse for $1,600, but when his bulldogging mount, Mama, was injured, he rode Scottie to a win in his first rodeo.

Jones, a ProRodeo Hall of Famer who died in 2013, said in a 1973 Hoofs and Horns article, "Scottie is the all-time great steer wrestling horse in my book.

He's the best horse to mount people because he can take so many runs without tiring.

It seems like the more runs he makes, the stronger he gets.

There's no horse I've ever seen that was in his class."

An estimated $2 million was won on Scottie, and during a streak of nine consecutive NFR appearances, no fewer than five – and as many as eight – of the 15 finalists chose Scottie as their mount.

The horse was officially retired in Red Lodge, Mont., in 1979 and died in 1981 at the age of 24.

Although he retired from top-level competition after 1970, Scottie proved a useful partner for less experienced riders. In 1971 Scottie carried Lynn Perry to a win the College National Finals Rodeo. Then at the age of 20  he carried Troy Yetter to a high school national in 1977.


He married secondly a daughter  of General Sir John Cope, K.B. on 1 March 1775.

In 1774 Tregony was at the disposal of the Treasury, and as late as 6 Oct., four days before the election, North named to Robinson three possible candidates for the second seat, though not Leith; but because of 'the shortness of time' he left Robinson to settle matters, assuring him that he would be satisfied with his decision.2

He is a man of which both sides are very shy.'

Sir Alexander Leith ... who had gone into virulent Opposition on being refused to be sent to Madras, and had a very bad character, abused Lord George Germain in the grossest terms, and told him he was not fit to serve the King.

In 1779, as lieutenant-colonel of the 88th Foot, he was sent out to the West Indies, and consequently was absent from the divisions of February-May 1780.

Robinson wrote against Tregony in his survey for the general election of 1780: 'Sir Alexander Leith will certainly not come in for this place.'

Leith died in Jamaica, 3 Oct. 1780, while commanding an expedition against Nicaragua.

### Theater Reviews| Theater Review | 'Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo'

#### Behind the Scene With Robin Williams

Robin Williams performs an excerpt from Rajiv Joseph's Broadway play, "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo."

By Erik Piepenburg and Mekado Murphy on March 31, 2011.

No, I'm not referring specifically to the man-eating title character played by Robin Williams in "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo."

I'm talking about the play itself: Rajiv Joseph's smart, savagely funny and visionary new work of American theater, whose presence on Broadway invites fanciful comparison to the titular beast.

A Pulitzer Prize finalist last year, "Bengal Tiger" is like a majestic cat serenely striding through a litter of cute-as-can-be kittens ready for their YouTube close-ups.

"Bengal Tiger," which opened Thursday night at the Richard Rodgers Theater, asks us to think and feel like adults, absorbing the dark absurdities in Mr. Joseph's microcosmic vision of the chaos that reigned in Baghdad shortly after the invasion of Iraq.

Its quiet urge to attend to the moral problems that beset our world — not to mention the existential mysteries man has pondered for centuries — stands in stark contrast to the more prevalent invitations blaring from Broadway marquees: to be serenaded by sweet nostalgia or to Facebook-friend our inner teenager.

The production, directed with gorgeous finesse by Moisés Kaufman ("I Am My Own Wife," "33 Variations"), does make a standard concession to the celebrity-centric economy of today's theater by headlining a box-office name.

(The rest of the terrific cast comes from Mr. Kaufman's Los Angeles production, which I saw last spring.)

But Mr. Williams, the kinetic comic who has sometimes revealed a marshmallowy streak in movies, never indulges the audience's hunger for displays of humorous invention or pinpricks of poignancy.

He gives a performance of focused intelligence and integrity, embodying the animal who becomes the play's questioning conscience with a savage bite that never loosens its grip.

And, oh yes, Mr. Williams is quite funny too.

He is after all playing a tiger with a foul mouth and a disposition to match, who's been locked up in the Baghdad zoo for years and is growling as loudly as his stomach when the play opens.

(Mr. Williams doesn't wear a Tigger costume, only a grizzled beard and unkempt hair suggest an animal.)

I should emphasize that "Bengal Tiger" is not a civics lesson kind of play to be dutifully attended like a cultural homework assignment.

Man and beast, and man turned beast, are depicted throughout with a fanciful humor that still allows for clear-eyed compassion.

The American invasion of 2003 has just taken place, and Baghdad is riven by conflict and confusion.

Two soldiers guarding the tiger's cage — the cocky Kev (Brad Fleischer) and the business-minded Tom (Glenn Davis) — are killing time by swapping stories of their wartime experience.

The tiger does some trash-talking himself, gloating over the stupidity of the lions, who fled their habitat only to be mowed down by artillery.

Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, with Robin Williams, near right, and Glenn Davis, in the drama by Rajiv Joseph at the Richard Rodgers Theater.

The juvenile Kev, played to dopey perfection by Mr. Fleischer, alternately gripes and makes absurd boasts about the prowess he is yet to prove.

He seems to think that warfare is just a cool video game, and the other guys are hogging the Xbox.

Tom, imbued with forceful gravity by Mr. Davis, was present when the American troops reached the palace of Uday and Qusay Hussein, Saddam's sons.

His spoils from the looting that took place: a gold-plated toilet seat and a matching handgun that he's stashed in his knapsack.

This gleaming weapon, sowing mayhem as it moves from hand to hand, is a potent symbol of both corrupting greed and the brutality it can engender.

A vulgar talisman of the rapacious Hussein regime, it also becomes a trophy sought after — possibly even killed for — by an American soldier intent on getting what he can out of the war.

(Draw your own conclusions about the larger American imperatives in Iraq.)

The golden gun's first victim is the hapless tiger.

As the awed and envious Kev marvels at this spectacular bit of bling, Tom makes the mistake of offering a snack to the beast in the cage, with results that leave him without a hand and the tiger with a gut full of lead.

"I get so stupid when I get hungry," the tiger groans in self-disgust.

And yet death proves oddly congenial to this grumpy beast, who spends his time in the afterlife haunting the soldier who caused his death while pondering the mysteries his ongoing consciousness presents.

"It's alarming, this life after death," he confides.

Those are just metaphorical constructs that represent 'hungry' and 'not hungry.'

Which is to say, why am I still kicking around?"

Suddenly this creature of dumb instinct begins acquiring a moral sense and with it the burning desire to know how the afterlife can exist without God, and how God can ignore the unruly garden of corruption that his world has become.

Such questions are tendered by Mr. Williams's gruff tiger in an offhand, conversational tone that considerably lightens their weightiness.

(The exception perhaps is a late speech decrying God's indifference in overly bald terms.)

Similarly, Mr. Joseph's play to its credit does not aspire to make overarching and obvious statements about the morality of warfare.

It is more deeply concerned with the facts on the ground, namely how the baser instincts of human beings inevitably come to the fore in an atmosphere tense with the threat of violence.

From left, Robin Williams, Glenn Davis and Brad Fleischer in "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo."

Kev's hair-trigger anxiety and psychological fragility exemplify one potentially disastrous outcome.

The bitterness and deadened humanity that Tom exhibits when he returns to Iraq after acquiring an artificial hand is another.

And the play's most movingly drawn character, the soldiers' translator, Musa (played with soulful intensity by Arian Moayed), becomes perhaps the most heart-rending victim of the viral contagion of violence that the play depicts.

He is haunted by the ghost of Uday Hussein (a vivid, hilariously malevolent Hrach Titizian), who had employed him as a gardener to tend the exotic zoo of topiary animals on the palace grounds.

Musa's journey from friendly helper fascinated by the arcana of American lingo (a very funny scene dissects the meanings of the word "bitch") to disturbed opportunist represents the most painful illustration of how the appetite for destruction that man shares with predatory beasts is unloosed when the structures of civilization suddenly fall away.

The mosaic of escalating violence depicted in the play takes place against a background of almost breathtaking beauty, in the elegant sets designed by Derek McLane, among his most poetic and effective work.

The equally fine lighting design of David Lander blends velvety shadows with rich colors evoking the ravaged beauty of a once-great city.

It is an atmosphere inhabited by the play's end almost entirely by ghosts.

The ricocheting violence unleashed by the legacy of the Hussein regime and the American invasion that sought to end it has claimed victims both malign and innocent.

And yet "Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo," for all the killing and suffering it contains, is buoyed by the vitality of its imaginative scope.

Violence is not after all the only human activity that can have far-reaching, unforeseen effects, shaping lives far into the future.

Mr. Joseph's richly conceived play reminds us that art can have a powerful afterlife too.

The play was an adaptation of Anton Chekhov's classic "Three Sisters", a tale of rural angst and boredom, according to WBUR (90.9). He was selected as cast member for Clare Barron's "You Got Older", at Steppenwolf from January 25 to March 11, 2018. Davis will join other ensemble members Audrey Francis, Caroline Neff, Francis Guinan, Emjoy Gavino, David Lind and Gabriel Ruiz in the play directed by Jonathan Berry.

In mid August, there were reports that members of the pro-government Aidar Battalion paramilitary had taken hostages and demanded ransom for their release.

# Latest from OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM) to Ukraine based on information received as of 18:00 (Kyiv time), 21 August 2014

This report is for media and the general public.

Further allegations of human rights abuses emerge in Donbas.

The "deputy minister of interior" of the so-called "Donetsk People's Republic" ("DPR") told the SMM that the "DPR" had found a charred body on a road a few kilometres south-east of Snizhne (Snizhne is 80 km south-east of Donetsk city).

He claimed that the remains were those of a missing Russian journalist, but presented no supporting evidence.

A resident of Makeevka (16 km northeast of Donetsk city) – speaking to the SMM – alleged that her son had been taken hostage by the "DPR" on 8 August.

At a meeting arranged by the chief of police in Starobilsk (97 km north of Luhansk city) on 20 August, a man claimed that he had been severely beaten the previous day in Polovynkyne (88 km north of Luhansk) by members of a Ukrainian volunteer battalion.

He said members of the 24th Aidar Battalion – already at the centre of accusations of human rights abuses in the northern Luhansk region (see SMM daily reports of 8 August,of 11 August, 14 August) – after detaining him at a checkpoint, had accused him of separatism and had threatened to kill him, unless his wife paid over USD 10,000.

She did so, whereupon he was released the same day, he said.

The SMM observed that the man's head was heavily swollen, bloody and bruised and that he had bruises and smaller wounds on his arms and legs.

The daughter of an architect employed by Luhansk City Council told the SMM on 16 August that she and her father had been detained at a checkpoint in Shchastye (24 km north of Luhansk city) on 13 August by members of the 24th Aidar battalion.

She said members of the battalion had accused him of being a separatist, saying he was "on their list".

Although she was released almost immediately, her father's whereabouts are still unknown, she said.

The head of the Luhansk regional police told the SMM that approximately 1,000 policemen had been dismissed in the Luhansk region since the start of the conflict, accused, he said, of failing to follow orders and supporting separatism.

He also claimed that 50 "separatist" T-64 tanks had been seen in Luhansk in recent days, and that Ukrainian military forces had entered Zhovtnevyi district (11 km northeast of Luhansk city-centre) and Stanytsia Luhanska (24 km northeast of Luhansk city-centre)

He also confirmed that Marat Bashirov had replaced Valery Bolotov as "president" of the so-called "Luhansk People's Republic".

The situation remained calm in Dnipropetrovsk, Kherson and Odessa.

The SMM observed an ongoing protest outside the Ukrainian Army barracks in Chernivtsi city, with approximately 40 tents close to the entrance of the barracks.

Three men, claiming to be part of a group of 200 draftees, told the SMM that they refused to be mobilized, even at the risk of being prosecuted, believing they would be sent to fight in the east.

The Chernivtsi Regional Military Commissioner later told the SMM that he believed that only 20% of draftees were willing to fight in the east.

A municipal official in Obertyn (50 km southeast of Ivano-Frankivsk city) told the SMM on 20 August that six local men were serving in the Ukrainian military in the east and five more, already mobilized, were undergoing training prior to their departure.

She said that there had been no anti-mobilization protests in the town.

Outside a Ukrainian military training facility in Lviv city, the SMM observed approximately 60 people protesting against what they described as an unfair rotation system for soldiers fighting in the east.

One of them said some soldiers had been deployed in the east for five months without leave.

A judge in Yavoriv (60km west of Lviv city) told the SMM that no cases involving draftees refusing to deploy to the east had been brought before the district court.

Seven soldiers had, however, he said, been brought before the court, charged with being absent without leave.

Members of an organization promoting Russian cultural and linguistic rights in the Volyn region told the SMM in Lutsk (150 km north-east of Lviv city) on 18 August that ethnic Russians in the town were experiencing harassment, intimidation, assault and attacks on their property.

They claimed local police, intimidated by Ukrainian nationalists, had failed to make any arrests.

They said that although ethnic Russians amounted to 5-7% of the town's population, they had no political representation at a local-government level.

They also said that despite there being 1.000 ethnic Russian children in Lutsk, Russian was not used as the language of instruction in any school or kindergarten in the town.

The SMM will continue to monitor the situation and engage with the community.

Humanitarian situation during the war in Donbass

There is also evidence of a smaller number of abuses by pro-Kyiv forces."
 A report by the United Nations OHCHR that was released on 28 July said that insurgent groups continued "to abduct, detain, torture and execute people kept as hostages in order to intimidate and to exercise their power over the population in raw and brutal ways". The report documents that at least 812 people have been abducted by the insurgents since mid-April, and said that these include "local politicians, public officials and employees of the local coal mining industry", and that "the majority are ordinary citizens, including teachers, journalists, members of the clergy and students".
 In early August, Amnesty International voiced concerned about actions of Radical Party leader and member of the Verkhovna Rada Oleh Lyashko. Lyashko is the leader of a pro-government paramilitary that participated in the war in Donbass. According to the Amnesty International report, Lyashko conducted a "continuing campaign of violence, intimidation and abduction against individuals". As an example of this "campaign", the report cited the abduction of DPR defence minister Igor Kakidzyanov. The abduction was recorded by Lyashko's forces. In the video, Kakidzyanov was seen being abducted, and later, after having been captured, "dressed only in his underwear with two bleeding cuts to his body".


Gun Runner is a chestnut stallion with a small white star and one white sock bred in Kentucky by Benjamin Leon Jr.'s Besilu Stables.

# What was it about Kentucky Derby hope Gun Runner that made two racing giants so keen to have him?

Gun Runner goes for the $1 million Louisiana Derby at Fair Grounds on Saturday.

Gun Runner, who recently entered the Kentucky Derby conversation following his stylish win in last month's Risen Star Stakes, represents a first-time collaboration between two industry giants — Three Chimneys Farm and Winchell Thoroughbreds.

But the partnership between these long-established Kentucky-based entities has a twist: Gun Runner is not a direct product of either of these famously successful breeding enterprises.

Three Chimneys, a pre-eminent stallion station and full-service breeding operation in Midway, Kentucky, acquired Gun Runner when he was a yearling as part of a package deal with the colt's breeder, Benjamin Leon Jr. of Besilu Stables.

The August 2014 transaction involved Three Chimneys buying majority interest in the Besilu mares, weanlings, and yearlings.

The acquisition of those horses came less than a year after the Brazilian Borges-Torrealba family obtained a controlling interest in Three Chimneys from the farm's founder, Robert Clay.

Initially earmarked to be sold as a 2-year-old at auction, Gun Runner, a son of Candy Ride, out of a Giant's Causeway mare, caught the attention of Dr. David Lambert, who utilizes a comprehensive criteria set forth by his company, Equine Analysis Services, to select horses for his clients.

Dr. Lambert recommended the colt to Ron Winchell, who owns Winchell Thoroughbreds with his mother, Joan.

Three Chimneys did not put the 2-year-old through the auction ring, opting instead to sell a half-interest in him to the Winchells.

When Gun Runner's racing career concludes he will stand at Three Chimneys, whose stallion roster currently features, among others, Eclipse Award champion Will Take Charge and Belmont Stakes winner Palace Malice.

"The idea of teaming up and just going racing was thrown on the table, and everyone said, 'Great', and the rest of the story is hopefully that of a good team in history," said Doug Cauthen, Three Chimneys Farm's vice-chairman.

"Three Chimneys is very commercial and probably sells a majority of its crop, but when the chance to partner and take a little bit [financial responsibility] off the table presents itself, and still stay in the game, it's a win-win for all sides."

The Steve Asmussen-trained Gun Runner won two of three starts as a 2-year-old, and successfully launched his 3-year-old campaign by defeating 10 rivals in the Risen Star at the Fair Grounds on Feb. 20.

Gun Runner will continue his preparations for the Kentucky Derby in Saturday's $1 million Louisiana Derby, a race won by Winchell Thoroughbreds in 2008 with their homebred and Risen Star winner Pyro, who went on to finish eighth at Churchill Downs.

The Winchell name was first associated with sugary treats.

Ron's father, Verne, opened a chain of wildly popular donut houses, bearing the family name, first in the western United States, and then later globally, in the 1940s.

The elder Winchell, who died at the age of 87 in 2002, was also passionate about horse racing, and campaigned scores of stakes winners, including Grade 1-winning homebreds Olympio and Fleet Renee, and champions Tight Spot and Mira Femme.

David Fiske, the racing and general manager for Winchell Thoroughbreds for the past 35 years, said the family farm, Corinthia, located in Kentucky's Fayette County, does not resemble a typical breeding operation.

"We are unique in a lot of ways," Fiske explained.

We don't stand any stallions and we are not a commercial yearling operation, per se.

There really aren't many of those type of operations left.

Usually, somebody does one of those three things, and we do none of them."

In the years since Verne Winchell's death, his son and widow have admirably built on his legacy.

The Winchells bred and raced the 2014 Eclipse Award champion 3-year-old filly Untapable, whose campaign that year was punctuated with wins in the Breeders' Cup Distaff and Kentucky Oaks.

Tapizar is another Winchell homebred, who left his mark at the World Championships when he captured the 2012 Dirt Mile.

Both Untapable and Tapizar are progeny of Tapit, who was purchased as a yearling by Verne Winchell, less than a year before the owner's death.

The colt finished ninth in the 2004 Kentucky Derby while racing for Ron Winchell and a partner.

These days no discussion concerning stallions is complete without mention of Tapit.

The leading stallion in the United States in 2014 and 2015, Tapit stands at Gainesway in Kentucky and commands a stud fee of $300,000.

Following his racing career, Winchell Thoroughbreds retained a 50-percent stake in Tapit, who is the sire of this year's early Kentucky Derby favorite, Mohaymen.

"I would love to see a Tapit win the Derby because I think that would be an excellent part of the horse's legacy," Ron Winchell said.

"It's like having a side rooting interest, indirectly.

If we're so fortunate to go ahead and run in the Derby with Gun Runner, and we're not fortunate to win it, I would love for a Tapit to win it.

In an ideal world, we would a have Tapit of our own to win the Derby."

The 43-year-old Winchell, a Las Vegas-based gaming and real estate entrepreneur, attended his first Derby in 1981, and saw his father's initial starter in the race, Classic Go Go, finish fourth.

Since then the Winchell name has been associated with an additional eight Derby starters — some owned in partnerships — but they have never enjoyed a better placing than that of Classic Go Go.

"[A Derby win] is what we strive for every year," Winchell commented.

"My father's goal was to win the Kentucky Derby, and he passed away before he could do it.

We're trying to carry it on to complete that task."

Gun Runner's trainer is also in the hunt for his first Kentucky Derby win.

Asmussen, 50, has trained for the Winchells since he first took out his trainer's license in 1986, and he has saddled four Derby starters for the family: Pyro, Sabercat, Tapiture, and Zanjero.

Asmussen is of the opinion that Gun Runner, who will be ridden by Florent Geroux in the Louisiana Derby, will continue to progress.

"The Risen Star was a very good first race of the year in a competitive and full field, which I do think matters," Asmussen remarked.

"With that being said, we have to continue to improve, and we have a lot of confidence our horse will continue to do so."

"What we're looking for [in the Louisiana Derby] is for him to go a little further [in distance], effectively," he added.

"I would like him to step up to the mile and an eighth, and for him to come out of the race in as good as shape as we are going into it."

After the Turkish Armed Forces and allied groups captured Afrin during Operation Olive Branch, displaced residents of Tel Rifaat rallied in Azaz to demand the expulsion of the SDF from the town

### Hundreds of Syrian protesters, carrying Turkish and Free Syrian Army flags, block a road between Azaz city and Sijo town in Aleppo and call Ankara to include Tel Rifaat in Operation Olive Branch.

Protesters carrying Free Syrian Army and Turkish flags block a road between Azaz city and Sijo town in Aleppo province of Syria on March 24, 2018.

Syrian residents of Tel Rifaat city in northern Aleppo province held a rally on Saturday demanding an Afrin-type Turkish military operation against the PKK-affiliated terrorist group in their town.

Protesters blocked the road between Azaz city and Sijo town and wanted Turkey to include Tel Rifaat in Operation Olive Branch.

The demonstrators later reopened the road on the call of Turkish military personnel and local security forces.

In early 2016, the YPG terrorists took control of Afrin and surrounding villages with help from Russia and the Assad regime.

Around 25,000 residents have been forced out from their homes and surrounding areas by the terrorist group and sought refuge in Azaz city.

The Turkish army shared a video from the rally on its Twitter account.

"People of Tel Rifaat who want their town to be cleared from terrorist organisations pour into the streets," the Turkish army said in the tweet.

People, some holding the Turkish flags can be seen in one of the squares in the video taken by a drone.

On Saturday, the Turkish General Staff said Afrin had been taken under "complete" control and efforts continue to help civilians return home in a secure way.

The Turkish Red Crescent also distributed hot meals to 15,000 people in the region on Saturday.

Talking to TRT World in Afrin, Turkish Red Crescent head Kerem Kinik said: "We have been providing 15,000 cooked meals twice daily.

It means 30,000 cooked meals we are providing daily."

TRT World's Melinda Nucifora visited the town and has this report.

Turkey launched its Operation Olive Branch on January 20 to clear terrorist groups from Afrin in northwestern Syria amid growing threats from the region.

On March 18, Turkish-backed troops liberated the town of Afrin, which had been a major hideout for the YPG terrorists since 2012.

The YPG is the Syrian branch of the PKK, which is responsible for over 40,000 deaths, and has carried out a violent campaign against Turkey for more than 30 years.

The PKK has been listed as a terrorist organisation by Turkey, the US and the European Union.

The operation is being carried out under the framework of Turkey's rights based on international law, UN Security Council resolutions, its self-defence rights under the UN charter, and respect for Syria's territorial integrity, according to the Turkish military.

The military also said only terror targets are being destroyed and "utmost care" is being taken to not harm civilians.

 By November 2013, the town was under control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). In January 2014, ISIL forces withdrew from the northern Aleppo area, and rebel fighters, mainly members of the Islamic Front, defeated ISIL militants in the town. The Conquest Brigade of the Islamic Front came into control of the town.
 By January 2015, Tell Rifaat was under the control of the Conquest Brigade of the Islamic Front.
 On 15 February 2016, the town was captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces, led by the Army of Revolutionaries. Russian airstrikes, which preceded the SDF assault, forced the majority of the population to escape. Since the SDF capture of Tell Rifaat, the town became the headquarters of the Army of Revolutionaries.

The second-row, center-court season seats Carl and Sheila Conte were happily sitting in at the new Cal Baptist University Events Center in Riverside would be anything but cheap seats — were they at any other venue in Southern California.

Except at $250 per seat for seats that not only come with VIP food service, but a camera eye's view of CBU Men's Basketball Coach Rick Croy's instructions to his players and occasional furrowed brow, these really are "cheap seats."

"This is like something you see on television.

Something like this has never been in Riverside before.

It's the best venue in Riverside and probably the best venue for 40 or 50 miles around," said Carl Conte, a retired elementary school teacher in the Alvord School District and former assistant girls basketball coach at North, Notre Dame and King high schools, who has followed CBU for 10 years.

And the Contes' VIP-esque seats, which they said they "lucked into," display one of the many perks to the Events Center, which formally opened Friday morning with an 80-63 victory for the CBU women's team over Cal State San Marcos and welcomed a raucous near-capacity crowd for the CBU-Cal State Dominguez Hills men's game Friday night.

The "worst" seat in the 5,050-seat Events Center is pretty much an oxymoron — as Palm Desert's Linda McAuliffe, perched in one corner of the Events Center with her husband, Mike and daughter, Bronwyn, could attest.

"The old arena (Van Dyne Gym) was very, very tight and dark.

This is spacious and this has all kinds of exciting things going on," said McAuliffe, whose daughter, Haley is a CBU sophomore.

"I was really blown away when I walked in.

I thought I was in a professional arena."

The team store is festooned with everything from CBU "Lance Up" shirts and hoodies to socks to the ubiquitous foam fingers.

The store, the comfy seats and the video scoreboard — which showed everything from game action to the packed-to-the-concourse student center dancing to The White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" — are all music to the ears of CBU officials, who are angling to make their Division II farewell this year the perfect springboard to Division I for 2018-19.

And the $73 million, 153,000-square foot Events Center provides fans and students the perfect "I-was-there-when" perch to take that leap.

It's going in line with how the school is evolving.

It keeps growing exponentially," said Bob Kelly of Riverside, whose daughter, Chase, plays on the CBU women's water polo team.

"They're going into Division 1 next year and it's the perfect match for a Division 1 type of climate.

Now, you have the facilities to accommodate Division 1 sporting events.

"Looking at the Lancer statue in front of the arena, I can only imagine how this will evolve into something where you have school rivalries and you target their mascot — which is essentially what college is all about."

Sophomore engineering major Shaun Cary of Moreno Valley, a member of the "CBU Crazies" pep group, was prepared to help unfurl a mammoth flag that went over the entire student section.

He took a bigger view of what the building means to the CBU campus.

"It's just amazing how the school has put all this together," Cary said.

"It's really amazing because they know the building is amazing, but they care more about the community and the spirit of the students here.

They're aware of what brings a community together and they do so much to put that together."

The insurance company has sponsored the development series since 2008It

still will retain its role as an official sponsor with NASCARAnheuser-Busch sponsored the series from 1982-2007

After a seven-year run, Nationwide will end its entitlement sponsorship of NASCAR's top development series after the 2014 season.

The company will remain in NASCAR as an official sponsor for auto, home, life and business insurance through 2017 and also focus on NASCAR marketing programs on the Sprint Cup Series.

In addition to its series entitlement, Nationwide also has had endorsement deals with Cup drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Danica Patrick and Ricky Stenhouse Jr.

"Nationwide Insurance will look to build a more consistent presence in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series enabling its message to reach an even larger NASCAR audience," according to a release from NASCAR.

NASCAR vice president and chief sales officer Jim O'Connell told USA TODAY Sports that Nationwide is expected to increase its investment in Cup.

"We're very excited that Nationwide is staying in the sport," O'Connell said.

"They've gone on record as saying they will up their spend in the Sprint Cup Series and probably spend more money in 2014 and 15 then they are now, so we think it's fantastic they've decided to stay in the sport and increase their investment.

They've been very pleased with their results from the series entitlement, but they thought it was important for them to increase their investment on Sundays."

"The NASCAR Nationwide Series is a great proving ground not only for drivers and crew members, but for sponsors, too," Nationwide chief marketing officer Matt Jauchius said in the release Wednesday morning.

"We're proud of the success Nationwide Insurance has attained through our relationships with NASCAR and the Nationwide Series.

It's a natural evolution for Nationwide Insurance to move our marketing investment to the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series, and we'll continue to put tremendous effort behind all of our NASCAR marketing platforms in the years to come."

NASCAR will begin a hunt for its third title sponsor in eight years for its No. 2 series, which was sponsored by Anheuser-Busch from 1982-2007.

The circuit is viewed as a ladder series to Sprint Cup.

Stenhouse advanced to Cup this season after winning consecutive Nationwide championships in 2011-12.

O'Connell said the replacement for Nationwide could be a current or new sponsor.

NASCAR has had preliminary conversations with some existing partners about expanding their sponsorship but hadn't begun an external search for a replacement for Nationwide.

"This is a phenomenal asset," O'Connell said.

"It's unrivaled integration and ownership.

We anticipate in speaking to a number of Fortune 500 companies that will be interested.

Nationwide showed NASCAR is a great place for business.

We're very confident at the beginning of 2015, we'll have another great partner on board as the series entitlement sponsor."

O'Connell said NASCAR wasn't focused on any particular business segment for the new title sponsor.

"It's not necessarily categories but more the right kind of partners that will activate the way Nationwide did and embrace the sport," he said.

"It's more about partners and marketing plans and how they can grow the sport."

Nationwide also will become the presenting sponsor of the Betty Jane France Humanitarian Award.

"As a series entitlement sponsor and savvy marketer, Nationwide Insurance has been an ideal partner to our sport and we're proud to have them continue to be part of our family of Official NASCAR Partners," NASCAR chief marketing officer Steve Phelps said.

"The company has been highly successful in using our sport as a platform to enhance its brand and drive its business and has stated publicly how much value they glean as a series sponsor.

The fact that Nationwide will continue its investment across our sport – in a variety of ways and for many years to come – is encouraging and speaks to the power of NASCAR as a marketing platform."

NASCAR's premier series is sponsored by Sprint, which extended its deal in December 2011 through the 2016 season.

The 2014 NASCAR Nationwide Series was the 33rd season of the Nationwide Series, a stock car racing series sanctioned by the NASCAR in the United States. It began with the DRIVE4COPD 300 at Daytona International Speedway on February 22, and ended with the Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on November 15.
