The death of seven-time NASCAR champion Dale Earnhardt led to sweeping safety improvements in NASCAR, which has not suffered a fatality since. Now, 10 years after Earnhardt's death shook the motorsports world to its core, IndyCar has been devastated by the loss of Dan Wheldon.
The 33-year-old Wheldon, one of the most well-liked drivers in the paddock, died Sunday after his car became ensnarled in a fiery 15-car pileup, flew over another vehicle and landed in a catch fence just outside turn 2 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
It was IndyCar's first fatal accident since Paul Dana died during a morning warmup at Homestead in 2006. Formula One's last fatality was Ayrton Senna in 1994.
Wheldon's death was a stunning loss at a time when improved cars, better safety equipment and energy-absorbing walls had created a sense that, while racing was still dangerous, it was not nearly as deadly.
On Saturday night, five-time defending NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson was in a vicious head-on collision at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where his rear wheels lifted off the ground. He walked away from the accident, praised his safety equipment and complained only of soreness one day after the accident.
At Las Vegas, Wheldon started at the back of the 34-car field, the largest of the season. The Indianapolis 500 was a 33-car field, there were 29 entries two weeks ago at Kentucky, and only 26 at Japan a month ago.
A crowded field, with cars racing two- and three-wide on a fast oval, leaves no room for error. Many drivers jockeyed early for position. Wheldon was unable to avoid the crashing vehicles that littered the track in front of him.
After the accident, veterans openly wondered why so many drivers were so impatient so early in the race.
"One mistake can take 15 people out, and that's what happened there," IndyCar driver Tony Kanaan said. "I've never seen such a mess in my entire career."
Asked if the drivers need to meet to discuss safety concerns and prepare a message for series leadership, Kanaan said patience needed to be preached to the younger drivers.
"We have to take care of each other. We are playing with lives here," Kanaan said. "We need to give each other room. As a senior member, I am going to get Dario (Franchitti) and the guys together, and we need to tell the guys to use their heads."

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Gays and lesbians are not entitled to the same heightened legal protection and scrutiny against discrimination as racial minorities and women in part because they are far from politically powerless and have ample ability to influence lawmakers, lawyers for a U.S. House of Representatives group said in a federal court filing.
The filing Friday in San Francisco's U.S. District Court comes in the case of a lesbian federal employee's lawsuit claiming the government wrongly denied health insurance coverage to her same-sex spouse. Karen Golinski says the law under which her spouse was denied benefits ? the Defense of Marriage Act ? violates the U.S. Constitution's guarantee of equal protection.
But attorneys representing the House's Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group counter that DOMA is subject to a lower level of court scrutiny. Under that lower standard, DOMA is not unconstitutional, they argue.
"A spate of recent news stories only confirms the conclusion that homosexuals are far from politically powerless," the filing reads.
It cites a poll of Americans showing support for gay candidates, New York's decision to legalize gay marriage and the lifting of the "don't ask, don't tell" policy that prohibited gay and lesbian troops from serving openly in the armed forces.
"Accordingly, gays and lesbians cannot be labeled 'politically powerless' without draining that phrase of all meaning," it says, arguing that the court should deny Golinski's motion for summary judgment in her favor.
A call Saturday to an attorney from the group representing Golinski was not immediately returned.
Golinski's case has received support from the Obama administration. In a brief filed in July that urged the court to find DOMA unconstitutional, the administration argued that it reflected Congressional hostility to gays and targeted an immutable characteristic ? sexual orientation ? that has nothing to do with someone's ability to contribute to society.
The administration also characterized gays and lesbians as minorities with limited political power. It had previously said it would not defend the marriage act.
The House's Bipartisan Legal Advisory Group has stepped in to defend it.

Fluctuations are fundamental to many physical phenomena in our everyday life, such as the phase transitions from a liquid into a gas or from a solid into a liquid. But even at absolute zero temperature, where all motion in the classical world is frozen out, special quantum mechanical fluctuations prevail that can drive the transition between two quantum phases. Now a team around Immanuel Bloch and Stefan Kuhr at Ludwig-Maximilians University (LMU) and the Max Planck Institute of Quantum Optics (MPQ) has succeeded in directly observing such quantum fluctuations (Science, Oct. 14, 2011, DOI: 10.1126/science.1209284). Using a high resolution microscope, they were able to image quantum-correlated particle-hole pairs in a gas of ultracold atoms. This allowed the physicists to unravel a hidden order in the crystal and to characterize the different phases of the quantum gas. The work was performed together with scientists from the Theory Division at the MPQ and ETH Zurich. These measurements open new ways to characterize novel quantum phases of matter.
The scientists start by cooling a small cloud of rubidium atoms down to a temperature near absolute zero, about minus 273 degree Celsius. The ensemble is then subjected to a light field that severely restricts the motion of the particles along one-dimensional tubes of light aligned in parallel. An additional standing laser wave along the tubes creates a one-dimensional optical lattice that holds the atoms in a periodic array of bright and dark regions of light.
The atoms move in the periodic light field like electrons in solids. As these can be electric conductors or insulators, also the one-dimensional quantum gases can behave like a superfluid or like an insulator at low temperatures. In particular, the height of the optical lattice potential plays an important role: it determines whether the atom is fixed on a particular lattice site or whether is able to move to a neighbouring site. At very large lattice depths, each lattice site is occupied by exactly one atom. This highly ordered state is called a "Mott insulator", after the British physicist and Nobel laureate Sir Neville Mott. When the lattice depth is decreased slightly, the atoms have enough energy to reach a neighbouring site by quantum mechanical tunneling. In this way, pairs of empty and doubly occupied sites emerge, so-called particle-hole pairs. Intriguingly, these quantum fluctuations also occur at absolute zero temperature, when all movement in the classical world is frozen out. The position of the quantum-correlated particle-hole pairs in the crystal is completely undetermined and is fixed only by the measurement process.
In recent experiments, the physicists around Stefan Kuhr and Immanuel Bloch had already developed a method, which allowed to image single atoms lattice site by lattice site. The atoms are cooled using laser beams, and the fluorescence photons emitted in this process are used to observe the atoms with a high resolution microscope. Holes naturally show up as dark spots, but so do doubly occupied sites as the two particles kick each other out of the lattice in the experiment. Therefore particle-hole pairs appear as two neighbouring dark lattice sites (see figure below). "With our technique, we can directly observe this fundamental quantum phenomenon for the first time", describes doctoral student Manuel Endres enthusiastically.
The physicists measure the number of neighbouring particle-hole pairs through a correlation function. With increasing kinetic energy, more and more particles tunnel to neighbouring sites and the pair correlations increase. However, when the number of particle-hole pairs is very large, it becomes difficult to unambiguously identify them. Hence the correlation function takes on smaller values. Finally, the ordered state of a Mott insulator vanishes completely und the quantum gas becomes a superfluid again. Here fluctuations of holes and particles occur independently. The correlation function measured in the experiment is very well reproduced by model calculations, which were performed by scientists from the Theory Division at the MPQ and the ETH Zurich. Interestingly, the same investigations on two-dimensional quantum-gases clearly showed that quantum fluctuations are not as prominent as in one-dimensional systems.
The scientists extended their analysis to correlations between several lattice sites along a string. Such non-local correlation functions contain important information about the underlying many-body system and can be used as an order parameter to characterize different quantum phases. In the experiment described here, such non-local order parameters have been measured for the first time. In the future, the scientists plan to use these measurements for the detection of topological quantum phases. These can be useful for robust quantum computers and could help to understand superconductivity at high temperatures. (MPQ)

This week's Ketchup includes news for the latest entries in the Die Hard and Taken action franchises, as well as new roles for Sandra Bullock, Jim Carrey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey, Jr. and Ben Stiller.
Last week, this writer kept a spot open for the announcement of a biopic about the life of Apple founder Steve Jobs, following his death on October 5th. It seemed inevitable, but no announcement was made within those first 47 hours or so. And then, an hour after last week's Ketchup was submitted to Rotten Tomatoes to be published, Sony Pictures announced that the studio behind The Social Network has acquired the rights to the only authorized Steve Jobs biography, from author Walter Isaacson. Such is the luck of the deadline-bound writer sometimes. There is no word yet about how exactly Sony plans on adapting the book, such as whether the film will attempt to cover Steve Jobs' entire career, or just parts (such as either the founding of Apple in the 1970s, or the 2000s resurgence with the iPod, the iPhone and the iPad). Who Sony might hire to adapt the book or direct the eventual script is also unknown. What is known is that there was already a Steve Jobs biopic, in the form of the TNT TV movie The Pirates of Silicon Valley, in which Steve Jobs was portrayed by Noah Wyle. Well, that and the untitled Steve Jobs biopic is currently being produced by Mark Gordon (Speed, 2012, The Patriot, The Day After Tomorrow). Steve Jobs, the book, will be published on October 24, 2011.
It was revealed this week that the next film in the popular Die Hard action series starring Bruce Willis will be A Good Day to Die Hard. 20th Century Fox has also already chosen a release date of February 14, 2013, AKA Valentine's Day. Bruce Willis has long been signed to return (of course), which leaves the role of John McClane's son as the biggest question mark. Aaron Paul of Breaking Bad reportedly tops the wish list at 20th Century Fox of the studio's top five choices for the role, which also includes Ben Foster (3:10 to Yuma), Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood), Milo Ventimiglia (NBC's Heroes) and Paul Walker of the Fast and the Furious franchise. This role is so important to the film because A Good Day to Die Hard revolves around the story of John McClane traveling to Moscow to help his son fight international terrorism (a premise that deserves an asterisk if you recall the plots of some of the earlier films). A Good Day to Die Hard will be directed by 20th Century Fox regular John Moore, whose first four films were Behind Enemy Lines, Flight of the Phoenix, the remake of The Omen and the videogame adaptation Max Payne.
Sandra Bullock is in talks with Warner Bros to costar with Clint Eastwood in the baseball drama Trouble with the Curve, which was first announced just last week. If she signs, Sandra Bullock will be playing the daughter of an elderly (and going blind) baseball scout who travels to Georgia to check out a hot prospect. Trouble with the Curve will mark the first time since 1993's In the Line of Fire that Clint Eastwood will be starring in a movie that he is not also directing. This time, that job is going to Eastwood's long time producing partner Robert Lorenz, as his big screen directing debut. Clint Eastwood's name first came up as being associated with Trouble with the Curve last week, as he suddenly has free time on his hands because the new version of A Star is Born is currently delayed by Beyonce Knowles' recently revealed pregancy.
Just a week after acquiring the rights for a Perry Mason movie, Robert Downey Jr.'s and his wife Susan Downey's production company Team Downey are attached to another project at Warner Bros. The studio has picked up the spec pitch The Accidental Genius from writer Adam Gibgot, whose previous credits were as a writer on two David Blaine TV specials. The drama is described as being about "an ordinary man awakens from a coma with astonishing intelligence, and visions of a bizarre symbol recognized only by a burnt-out prodigy. Together, the two men set out to solve a hundred-year-old mystery that could change the world." Like all Team Downey projects, it is expected that if The Accidental Genius eventually gets made, Robert Downey Jr. would have one of the lead roles (probably the title one).
Warner Bros has outbid over five independent companies for the rights to produce a biopic feature film about British mathematician Alan Turing, who was a central figure in the race during World War II to develop a way of cracking the Nazi Enigma codes that gave the Axis potential dominance of Atlantic waters. Although the star is not yet attached, it was the interest of Leonardo DiCaprio in playing Alan Turing that led Warner Bros to pursue the rights to the script, called The Imitation Game, from newcomer screenwriter Graham Moore. The narrative appeal of Alan Turing's life as a feature film is probably best summed up by Deadline.com in their description of Turing as an "English mathematician, logician, cryptanalyst, computer scientist, criminally prosecuted homosexual, and tortured soul who committed suicide by eating a cyanide-laced apple."
Jim Carrey is in talks with New Line Cinema to costar with Steve Carell in the comedy Burt Wonderstone. Carrey and Carell previously costarred together in Bruce Almighty, which led to Carell starring in the sequel Evan Almighty. Steve Carell has already been signed for a while to star as a Las Vegas magician who breaks up with his stage partner and finds himself challenged as a solo artist by a "rival hip street magician" (think David Blaine). It's unclear whether Jim Carrey will be playing Carell's old partner or the street magician with whom he has a rivalry (but it's probably the latter). Burt Wonderstone will mark the feature film debut of TV director Don Scardino, who has directed episodes for dozens of TV shows, including much of 30 Rock and several episodes of Law and Order. Burt Wonderstone was written by Horrible Bosses cowriters Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley (AKA Sam Weir, the star of Freaks and Geeks). Jim Carrey's casting is one of the week's Fresh Developments because it seems like it could be a return to the sort of edgier, wackier comedy roles that made Carrey a star to begin with.
One of the things that Quentin Tarantino is best known for is his interest in casting aging stars in surprising roles that sometimes help rejuvenate their film careers. The casting of the slavery era Spaghetti Western Django Unchained continued this week with recruitment of Miami Vice and Nash Bridges TV star Don Johnson to play one of the film's villainous plantation owners. Johnson will play a slave owner named Spencer Bennett who specializes in using female slaves as prostitutes. Johnson joins a growing ensemble cast that already includes Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, M.C. Gainey, Kurt Russell and others.
The 1999 romantic comedy The Best Man received good reviews, but was not a box office smash, and for many people, twelve years later, it may be difficult to even recall that The Best Man ever even existed. One distinction that The Best Man did have, however, was that it featured a mostly African American cast in the pre-Tyler Perry era of the late 1990s. With no movement yet on plans for a sequel to Bridesmaids, Universal Pictures is instead now focusing its wedding-movie-sequel energies on developing Best Man 2. Director, writer and producer Malcolm D. Lee, who made his debut with The Best Man (before going on to direct films like Undercover Brother and Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins), is signed to repeat those duties for the sequel. The original film was about a writer (played by Taye Diggs) of an upcoming autobiographical novel who has to deal with the ramifications of the book's revelations as he and his friends prepare for a wedding. Terrence Howard, Morris Chestnut, Nia Long, Sanaa Lathan and Harold Perrineau all also costarred in The Best Man, and are expected to return for the sequel, but no deals are yet in place.
Rentaghost was the title of a British kids TV series that aired on BBC1 from 1976 to 1984 that was about a business that hired out ghosts to perform various jobs. A movie version of Rentaghost had previously been announced as being in development at Warner Bros, with Russell Brand expected to star. However, when the remake of Arthur failed to be a big hit, Russell Brand dropped his interest in Rentaghost, eventually leading to Warner Bros dropping the project entirely. Now, 20th Century Fox has picked up the rights to Rentaghost as a reunion project for the star and writers of the studio's popular Night at the Museum movies. Ben Stiller will play an American consultant who is sent to England to help the Rentaghost business turn around, from a script by the writing team of Tom Lennon and Robert Ben Garant, who, in addition to the Night at the Museum movies, have also worked together on The Pacifier, Herbie Fully Loaded and the upcoming comedy adaptation of the self-help book What to Expect When You're Expecting.
Serbian actor Rade Sherbedgia is a high ranking member in the "That Guy?" club of highly recognizable character actors who few movie fans can actually name. His long list of film roles includes Batman Begins, Mission: Impossible II, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows Part I and X-Men: First Class. Now, Rade Sherbedgia has added another "foreign baddie" job to his filmography with a deal with 20th Century Fox to play the new lead villain in Taken 2. Filming of the sequel starts in Turkey and France later this month, and 20th Century Fox has already set a release date of October 5, 2012. This time around, Liam Neeson's formidable former CIA agent will find himself and his wife (played by Famke Janssen) kidnapped while overseas by the angry father of the first film's villain, and it will be up to his daughter (played by Maggie Grace) to save them. See how they turned things around there? Taken 2 will be directed by Olivier Megaton (Transporter 3, Colombiana) from a script by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. Taken 2 is the week's Most Rotten Idea based mostly on the RT Tomatometer scores for the first Taken (58%) and Olivier Megaton's two films as director (37% for Transporter 3 and 29% for Colombiana).

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Hilary Swank is donating her fees for attending a controversial event in Chechnya to charity after criticism from human rights groups.
A spokeswoman for the two-time Oscar winner said on Friday that Swank would give her personal appearance fees to various charitable organizations.
Swank has said she "deeply regrets" taking part in a birthday celebration in the Chechen capital Grozny last week for regional strong Ramzan Kadyrov, who is accused of orchestrating human rights violations.
Human Rights Watch urged Swank and other celebrities who attended the event to return any money or gifts.
Swank said this week she was unaware of Kadyrov's policies, which human rights group say promote fear, abductions and executions of those involved in Chechnya's Islamist insurgency.

SIRTE, Libya?? Libyan government forces brought more tanks into the city of Sirte on Friday to try to break the last pocket of resistance by loyalists of ousted leader Moammar Gadhafi in his home town.
The mostly untrained militia army of the National Transitional Council (NTC) has been gradually tightening its strangle-hold around Sirte for weeks in a chaotic struggle that has cost scores of lives and left thousands homeless.
It has also held up the attempt by Libya's new leaders to try to build a democratic government as they say the process will begin only after the city is captured.
NTC commanders say Gadhafi's diehard loyalists now only control an area measuring about 700 yards north to south, and around a mile east to west; a residential area of mostly apartment blocks.
The biggest obstacle to taking the town has been Gadhafi's snipers hiding in the buildings. Tanks are used to hit the buildings from close range and dislodge the snipers.
Behind the tanks, lines of pick-up trucks and scores of infantry readied for battle Friday.
Green flags, the banner of Gadhafi's 42-year rule, flew above of the buildings ahead. Gadhafi himself is believed to be hiding somewhere in the vast Libyan desert.
'They are finished'
Rebels reportedly said there were possibly as few as 100 Gadhafi loyalists left in Sirte.
"There are a hundred fighters, maybe a little more, holding us up. That is all," former dentist Salah al-Obeidi, now a rebel commander, told The Guardian newspaper.
The paper said other rebels estimated there were 200 loyalists in the city.
"They are finished. All they can do is surrender. There has been no attempt to negotiate with them. We don't negotiate with terrorists. We hear them talking on their radios. Talking about 'rats' and killing infidels," al-Obeidi told The Guardian.

Libya's de facto leader, Mustafa Abdul-Jalil, said Wednesday he expected to declare total victory in less than a week, which would pave the way for a new interim government to be named to guide the oil-rich North African nation to elections within eight months.
Video: Angelina Jolie visits Libya, praises revolutionaries (on this page)A senior NTC official however denied reports by other officials in the new government that Gadhafi's son Muatassim had been captured in Sirte.
Surrounded now on all sides, Gadhafi's remaining forces in Sirte can have no hope of winning the battle, but are still fighting on, inflicting dozens of casualties with rocket-propelled grenades, mortars and small arms.
One field hospital received two NTC dead and 23 wounded on Thursday. One of the dead men had been hit while taking food up to the fighters on the front line, doctors said.
'It's enough'
One NTC commander said Gadhafi's besieged forces were no longer using heavier weapons and he said they appeared to have lost their cohesion as a fighting force.
"We've noticed now they are fighting every man for himself," said Baloun Al Sharie, a field commander. "We tried to tell them it's enough and to give themselves up, but they would not."
NTC officers say Gadhafi loyalists fear reprisals if they give themselves up.
Moammar Gadhafi's family treeSome captured fighters have been roughed up by NTC forces and Amnesty International issued a report on Wednesday saying Libya's new rulers were in danger of repeating human rights abuses commonplace during Gadhafi's rule. The NTC said it would look into the report.
Close to the center of the fighting in Sirte, government forces found 25 corpses wrapped in plastic sheets. They accused Gadhafi militias of carrying out execution-style killings. Five corpses shown to a Reuters team wore civilian clothes, had their hands tied behind their backs and gunshot wounds to the head.
But as the battle for Libya draws toward what the NTC and NATO hope will be a close, both the new government and the Western alliance which helped topple Gadhafi are looking toward a return to normality.
Reuters and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

By studying mice exposed to tobacco smoke for a period of months, researchers have new insight into how emphysema and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) develops. In the October 14th issue of Cell, a Cell Press publication, they also report a promising new way to reverse the lung damage underlying these conditions.
"It has not been very clear what causes the disease and there has been no therapy to stop or reverse lung destruction in emphysema," said Norbert Weissman of the University of Giessen Lung Center in Germany. "There have really been no new concepts about therapy in the last 20 years."
It's not for lack of interest, he said. In fact, COPD, including chronic bronchitis and emphysema, is expected to become the third-greatest cause of death worldwide by the year 2020.
In addition to airway inflammation and decreased of respiratory function, COPD is often accompanied by pulmonary hypertension, which is essentiallyhigh blood pressure in the lungs. Whether this condition was a cause or a consequence of COPD was not known.
Now, with powerful mouse models of COPD, Weissman and colleagues provide evidence that changes to the pulmonary blood vessels and the development of high blood pressure precede the development of emphysema. They further trace those effects to an inducible form of an enzyme known as nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), which catalyzes the formation of nitric oxide.
Nitric oxide (NO) and the nitric oxide system are important for opening up blood vessels and maintaining vascular tone, Weissman said. When nitric oxide levels grow too high, however, the molecule can undergo a chemical reaction forming aggressive peroxynitrite.
"Simply put, peroxynitrite can modify protein functions, leading to the destruction of lung tissue," Weissman said.
It appears this is exactly what happens in the development of emphysema. Mice lacking the iNOS enzyme were protected from both emphysema and pulmonary hypertension. Importantly, existing pharmacological agents can block iNOS activity, and mice treated with one of these drugs were protected from COPD-like changes to their lung vasculature. Treatment with the inhibitor also successfully reversed the course of the disease in the mice.
"For reversal of emphysema, you need active restructuring of the lung," Weissman said, noting that there is more work to do to explore the pathways involved.
The iNOS inhibitor used in these studies has already been used in clinical trials with apparently no major side effects, Weissman says. He and his team plan to pursue use of the drug as an inhaled therapy, with the hope that it may reach therapeutic concentrations only where it is needed

If there were no government safety net, that vacuum would be filled by the private sector just as it was in the insurance industry. You can argue all day that the government should be involved, but if you look at what's happening around us, you can see it's a bad idea. The more the government got involved in the mortgage industry and Wall Street, the worse things got. And look where we are now.
Look at the track record of the insurance industry vs the banking industry, and it becomes very clear that the private sector does a much better job of making money, and of protecting consumers.
The trouble with socialism is that it's persuasive in it's arguments, and moves in slowly. People readily accept it, little by little -- like the FDIC -- because it feels good and safe. Before you know it, we have a government-owned auto company, government-owned banks, and, perhaps, a government-owned health care industry.
It will never stop until people wake up and realize we're much better off without that particular safety blanket.
