CHARLOTTE, N. Cam Newton Womens Jersey .C. —Carl Edwards
crew chief stepped down Tuesday, 19 races removed from a disheartening defeat in
last years championship race. Bob Osborne cited undisclosed health concerns in
his decision to relinquish the No. 99 Ford, which has been stuck in a slump
since Edwards ended last season tied with Tony Stewart in the Chase for the
Sprint Cup championship. The title went to Stewart on a tie-breaker. “I have had
the pleasure of working with Carl Edwards for the past nine years and, during
that time, my focus has been building a championship-calibre program,” Osborne
said in a statement. “At this time in my life, however, concerns with my health
have necessitated that I change my role within the organization.” Osborne, who
guided Edwards to 18 wins and two runner-up finishes in the points, will move to
a senior management position with Roush Fenway Racing. Hell be replaced as crew
chief by Chad Norris, who has been with Roush since 2005 as a crew chief in the
Nationwide and Truck Series. “This transition is not an easy one, but Im
thankful to have the full support of Jack (Roush), Carl and the entire
organization. I also have every confidence in Chad Norris, and I look forward to
working with him as we continue to pursue a championship in 2012,” said Osborne,
who asked for privacy from the NASCAR community. Osborne had run the No. 99 team
since 2004, and Edwards took over that ride for the final 13 races of that
season. But Edwards is stuck in a 52-race losing streak dating back to Las Vegas
last season, and at 11th in the point standings hes in danger of missing the
Chase this season. Edwards has only worked with Osborne at the Cup level. “I
cannot say enough good things about Bob Osborne,” Edwards said. “Im so thankful
for what hes done for me as a driver, and he is without a doubt one of the
smartest guys in the sport. Im also appreciative of the fact that hell continue
to be a resource for me and our team as we focus on these final races.” Norris
since last season has led Roush Fenways testing program, and has been crew chief
for Ricky Stenhouse, Jr.s limited Sprint Cup Series schedule and Trevor Baynes
partial Nationwide Series schedule. Norris led Bayne to his inaugural Nationwide
Series win at Texas Motor Speedway in November of 2011. “Were very fortunate to
have Chad Norris as part of our organization to take over for the No. 99,”
Edwards said. “Ive known Chad for a long time and he is a fierce competitor.
Weve got our work cut out for us over the next seven races, and Ive got every
confidence Chad can lead our team to where we need to be.” Cam Newton Youth Jersey . —Keegan Bradley

Montreal police have opened an investigation into the campaign of online
disruption being waged by the activist group Anonymous against a growing list of
targets in Quebec. The group has carried out a threat to attempt to disrupt next
months Grand Prix in Montreal by posting, on the Internet, the personal
information of more than 100 people who bought tickets to the Formula One car
race. That was the only latest in a series of web attacks that initially
targeted government-related web sites under a campaign dubbed Operation Quebec,
in response to a new law setting limits on protests. At first, people managed to
disable more than a dozen websites tied to the Quebec government, including the
sites of the Education Department, the Quebec Liberal Party and the Montreal
police force. Now the circle appears to be broadening. In addition to the
Formula One spectators having their information published, there was footage
released Wednesday from an exclusive birthday party held for a member of the
powerful Desmarais family. The 2008 party was attended by Quebec Premier Jean
Charest, as well as former U.S. president George H.W. Bush and former prime
ministers Jean Chretien and Brian Mulroney. “There is joint investigation
ongoing right now into all the threats from the Anonymous network,” said Ian
Lafreniere, chief spokesperson for the Montreal police. “The Grand Prix is part
of this investigation. We know threats were made. There were other government
sites that were attacked as well.” As Quebecs student strike approaches its
fourth month, some groups taking part in the movement have adopted tactics aimed
at disrupting Montreals economy. The Grand Prix, which attracts well-heeled fans
from across North America and Europe, is among the most lucrative periods for
the citys tourist industry. It is now singled out by activists. “Beginning on
June 7th and running through race day on June 10th, Anonymous will take down all
the F1 websites, dump the servers and databases—and wreck anything else F1
related we can find on the internet,” Anonymous said in news release Monday. It
added that: “We highly suggest that you join the boycott of the F1 in Montreal
and we certainly recommend that you NOT purchase any tickets or F1 merchandise
online.” Members of the collective have since managed to hack into a website
selling tickets to the June 10 race—dumping names, phone numbers, email
addresses, the type of ticket and the amount spent online. Luke Kuechly Jersey. In addition to the
warnings by Anonymous, an anti-capitalist group known as CLAC has promised to
hold disruptive demonstrations in the week leading up the race. Many of those
who had their information hacked say they are still determined to come to
Montreal. They will, however, take extra precautions. “Im still coming but Ill
probably be a lot more vigilant. I wont be as relaxed,” said Colin Chariandy, a
Toronto engineer who plans to stay well outside the downtown area to avoid any
unrest. “Hopefully there will be enough security systems—people, cops,
etcetera—to make sure the people coming to this public venue are going to be
safe. I really hope that that is the case.” Along with having their personal
information leaked online, the 131 ticket holders who were hacked also received
an ominously worded email from Anonymous. “If you intend to use a car, know that
your road may be barricaded,” reads a document described as a “Notice to Grand
Prix Visitors.” “If you want to stay in a hotel, know that we may enter it. If
you seek to withdraw money from a bank, know that the shattering glass may
sting. If you plan on watching a race, know that your view may be obscured, not
by exhaust fumes but by the smoke of the fires we set. Know that the evacuation
order may not come fast enough.” According to a member of the collective, who
sent an email to The Canadian Press through the Twitter site, it was a group
known as the Peoples Liberation Front that conducted the actual hacking
operation under the Anonymous umbrella. The emergency legislation passed earlier
this month by the Quebec government was aimed at calming occasionally violent
demonstrations by striking students. Several provisions of the law, however,
have drawn criticism from legal experts and human-rights activists. Most
recently, independent experts affiliated with the United Nations criticized what
they called the laws “disproportionate” measures, which they warned could be
“misused to restrict the legitimate right to freedom of peaceful assembly.”
