The Henan Museum, located in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, China, is a history and archaeology museum. It has a collection of more than 130,000 pieces of cultural relics through the ages. In addition to its collection of human history the museum is home to many relics of natural history including dinosaur bones and fossils. Henan Museum's present building, which opened in 1997, occupies an area of more than 100,000 square feet, with a total floor space of 78,000 square feet. At present the museum has a collection of more than 130,000 pieces of cultural relics treasures, of which more than 5,000 pieces are treasures of the first and second grades. Among them, the prehistoric cultural relics, bronze vessels of the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, pottery and porcelain wares of the various dynasties in Chinese history possess most distinguishing features. Inside the museum, there are basic exhibition halls, specialized exhibition halls and provisional exhibition halls. For the first batch of exhibitions, two basic displays and six specialized displays are offered.

Henan Museum is one of the oldest museums in China. In June 1927, General Feng Yuxiang, the commander in chief of the National Revolutionary Army and the chairman of Henan Province at that time, proposed that “Education is the Essential Politics for a Country ”. In July, the founding committee of the Henan Museum was established; the site designated for the museum was the former Legal and Law School, located at Kaifeng Court West Street. Thus, the Museum was born. In May 1928, the former provincial government changed the name of Henan Museum into “National Museum” to represent the history and actuality of the nationalities. On December 1, 1930, Henan Provincial Government changed “National Museum” back to “Henan Museum” as a social educational organization directly under the Provincial Educational Ministry; the schoolhouse of the Demotic Normal School was taken as a showplace of antiques. The Storing Department and the Collection & Investigation Department were set up; the Executive Council was established, including the directors of the Civil Administration Office and Educational Office, the president of Henan University, the Museum curator.

The 19 showrooms of the former National Museum were renovated in 7 and enriched with historical cultural relics instead of the many folk fineries and models. During the years from 1930 through 1937, Henan Museum underwent an unprecedented development. Under the guidance of a team of skilled researchers led by Guan Baiyi, the Museum amassed fine and substantial collections focusing on local history. At that time Henan Museum became famous, gaining recognition both at home and abroad. In 1937 the Marco Polo Bridge Incident erupted and the Japanese army formally invaded China; the Museum was closed and 68 boxes of key cultural relics were moved to Chongqing, the Republic of China's wartime capital in southwest China. Hundreds of boxes from the Palace Museum had been shipped off by the Kuomintang to Chongqing for safe-keeping. In 1940, the Japanese occupation government reopened the Henan Museum as “Henan Provincial Museum” with several departments such as Affair Office, Storage Department, Investigation Department.

After the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang's Honan Provincial Government resumed management of the Museum. By 1948, many of the museum's artifacts had once again been boxed and moved for safe-keeping, this time to Taiwan; these artifacts formed part of the National Museum of History in Taipei. After the Liberation Army entered Kaifeng, in November 1949, Qu Naisheng, director of the Provincial Education Office, was nominated by the Henan Provincial Government as curator of the Museum. In 1961, along with the move of the provincial capital, Henan Museum moved from Kaifeng to Zhengzhou. In 1991 the museum was remodeled. In 1999 the official reopening to public was held and the name was declared as the "Henan Museum"; the new Museum is located in central Zhengzhou on the Agriculture Road. The main building, at the center of the grounds, is in the shape of pyramid. Behind it is a storeroom for culture relics, around it there are the electrified education building, combined service building, office building and training building.

The design of the new museum incorporates the artistic culture of central China. Provisions such as an audio tour, magnified video-tape playing, computer consultation, interactive facilities are provided for visitors. Henan Museum is equipped with advanced security system, automatic building management system, audio-visual education system, service information computer network system, cultural relics preservation and research system and other high technology equipment.

Ferko, et al. v. National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Inc. et al. known as the Ferko lawsuit, was an American lawsuit between plaintiff Francis Ferko, a resident of Plano, Texas and a minor shareholder of the publicly traded Speedway Motorsports, Inc. and defendants NASCAR and International Speedway Corporation, which are both owned by the France family. Ferko, a racing fan not associated with the executive management team of SMI, contended that the defendants violated antitrust laws in preventing SMI's Texas Motor Speedway from obtaining a promised second NASCAR NEXTEL Cup race per racing season; the suit was filed in February 2002, was settled out of court in May 2004. The settlement delivered a second Sprint Cup race each season to the track, but resulted in numerous other changes to the NASCAR schedule of races and racing venues; as the case was preparing to go to trial in 2004, the parties settled the lawsuit as part of a larger restructuring of NASCAR's schedule. In the settlement, ISC sold the North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham to SMI, but Rockingham's one NEXTEL Cup race was moved to ISC's Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.

Continuing with NASCAR's schedule realignment, Texas earned its promised second race when a November race, used for the prestigious Southern 500, was moved to Texas from ISC's Darlington Raceway. As it happens, the November date had been inherited by Darlington from Rockingham only a year earlier, when Rockingham had been reduced from two NEXTEL Cup races to one; the November date gave Texas a race in the Chase for the Nextel Cup and cost Darlington the more prestigious of its two race dates. For its part, SMI had to agree that Rockingham would be used only for non-competition NASCAR uses, such as for movie settings about the sport or for testing; as a result of a 2006 NASCAR testing rule change limiting testing on tracks used for NASCAR competition, testing at Rockingham has become more commonplace. SMI sold off the Rockingham track in 2007. Ferko's life fell apart as a direct result of the lawsuit. In 2002, he lost his job in food safety, because his boss disliked the publicity that Ferko received, he and his wife were forced to move to Atlanta for his new job.

Shortly after moving, their 20-year-old son Anthony, who remained in Texas to be with his own 6-month-old son, committed suicide, which Ferko believes may have been avoided if they had stayed in Texas with him. After Ferko and his wife failed to win custody of their grandson, they divorced; the management team of SMI never rewarded Ferko, a fan and minor shareholder, for winning them a race slot worth millions of dollars. In 2005, before the initial running of the Dickies 500, Ferko expressed his disappointment in SMI not asking him to wave the green flag at the race, said that "nowing what I know now, I would not have pursued.... I never expected those kinds of unintended consequences to occur." In 2005, Kentucky Speedway filed a similar suit against NASCAR and ISC, requesting a NEXTEL Cup race at their venue. However, unlike the promise of a second race at the heart of the Ferko lawsuit, the France family had expressly told Kentucky Speedway that it would not be given one race, so the case was filed on antitrust grounds only.

The lawsuit was dismissed on January 2008, although the track's owners appealed the dismissal. On May 22, 2008, Speedway Motorsports, Inc. announced it had purchased Kentucky Speedway from Kentucky Speedway, LLC and further litigation became moot as a result. The purchase was finalized on January 1, 2009. Bruton Smith, head of Speedway Motorsports Inc. who bought the racetrack, said he had plans to bring a Sprint Cup race to Kentucky Speedway. That came in 2011 when Kentucky Speedway gained a date at the expense of Atlanta Motor Speedway, its sister track. Ferko v. National Association of Stock Car Racing at FindACase

Galinsoga quadriradiata is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family, known by several common names, including shaggy soldier, Peruvian daisy, hairy galinsoga. Its native home is central Mexico, although it has become naturalized in many other places. Galinsoga quadriradiata is an annual herb; the main stem may branch or not. The petioled leaves are ovate and serrated are opposite branching, covered coarse, hispid hairs; the roots form a fibrous root system. The small flower heads are up to a centimeter wide but 2-3mm in diameter and have rounded center filled with many disc florets in a shade of bright yellow. There are five white ray florets spaced around the center, each an oval shape with three crenate teeth at the tip. Both the disk and ray florets are fertile producing a achene with a large pappus. G. Quadriradiata and its cousin G. parfivolia are both edible and can be used as a pot herb or in salads although outside of their native range, they have not been adopted as a culinary item other than in China.

G. parfivolia is preferred as a salad green due to its non-hairy leaves. Care must be taken to not confuse them with the unrelated, but visually similar Tridax procumbens, poisonous.
