		In 1983 she and her brother, Al Joyner, a triple jumper, represented the United States at the track-and-field world championships in Helsinki, Finland.
		(Al Joyner won the gold medal in the triple jump at the 1984 games.) She married Kersee in 1986, and that same year she gave up basketball to concentrate on the heptathlon, setting two world records within one month.

	Athletics
		Al Joyner's own illustrious athletic career was somewhat overshadowed by his connections with two of the greatest female athletes in history, his sister, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, and his wife, Florence Griffith-Joyner.
		In 1983, Joyner qualified third in the USA trials for the World Championships in Helsinki, where, on 8 August, he finished 8th with a jump of 16.76m.
		At San Jose, Joyner produced the longest legal jump of his career (17.53m) in the qualifying round, and then almost equalled that in the final the next day with a jump of 17.50m, but could only finish 4th, and thus did not qualify for the USA team.

	Olympian Griffith Joyner dies suddenly at age 38
		Former Olympic sprinter Florence Griffith Joyner, who combined speed and style a decade ago to become one of the most enduring figures in her sport, died suddenly Monday in Southern California at the age of 38.
		The sleek outfits also underscored Griffith Joyner's bodybuilder's physique -- a physique she did not appear to have in 1987, when her only medal at the world championships was a silver in the 200 meters.
		Griffith Joyner was accompanied on that trip by her husband and the couple's daughter, Mary.

		A set of transcription factors, including the Engrailed (EN) proteins that we cloned (Joyner et al., 1985; Joyner and Martin, 1987), are expressed across most of the midbrain and cerebellum, and the secreted factors FGF8 and WNT1 are expressed in the organizer (Fig.
		We were interested in determining whether this division of the neural plate into two regions by Otx2 and Gbx2 is necessary for induction of an organizer, because studies in insects have shown the organizers form at the junction of two differentially specified territories.
		We are currently using a new technology (Gong et al., 2003) to engineer BAC genomic DNA clones (100-200kb of mouse genomic DNA grown in bacteria) from the key midbrain/cerebellum genes to express CerER and marker genes from the regulatory sequences of these loci.

	Lifetimetv.com: Our Lifetime Commitment - Cable in the Classroom
		It didn't hurt her motivation that she ended up marrying a fellow Olympian: Al Joyner, a 1984 triple jump champ, who proposed to her on one knee in a limo, en route to dinner on October 1, 1987.
		Joyner liked to joke that the children in their future were already receiving athletic scholarship offers.
		Initial reports stated that she died of an apparent heart seizure (the athlete had suffered a seizure on a plane two years earlier.) Still, there was much speculation in the media that steroid use contributed to her death, or even that she was murdered.

		Griffith Joyner, who died in her sleep on Monday of an apparent heart attack, was an astonishing athlete, and also a controversial one.
		Two, Griffith Joyner needed to keep an eye on the jumpers' wind readings, because she had discovered in her first-round heat that she, the Indiana University track, the temperature and the occasion had all come together to create historic possibilities.
		Griffith Joyner calmly turned her thoughts to the 200, to be run this week, and wouldn't be drawn into the furor over what the wind might really have been doing in her 10.49.

	JG-TC.com > News > Joyner honored for work with inmates, Habitat and more
		Joyner’s mentoring of prison inmates to try to “help them understand what they could do to stay out of there” is one of things that led to his being one of the recipients of this year’s Jefferson Awards.
		While Joyner said he likes the idea of an award to “recognize something that needs to be done,” he quickly noted his response when someone told him she was going to nominate him.
		Joyner said he believes the average person is “very blessed” and all someone has to do to help others is to see the need for it.

	Development of NEURON
		The last paper (Ramon et al 1975) dealt with the then very serious problem of the quality of voltage clamps of bundles of nerve or muscle in sucrose-gaps which were frequently being used at that time.
		Later we (Moore et al,1978) also used it to examine the sensitivity of the conduction velocity to a wide variety of parameters and found that it was quite insensitive to the nodal area or to the exact description of its excitable processes.
		Ron Joyner lead the group in a significant leap by extending the Crank-Nicholson method for implicit integration of cable equations (describing axons with excitable membranes) to simulate propagation in complex morphologies, including branching (Joyner et al, 1978).

	CNN/SI - SI Flashback: Very Fancy, Very Fast
		One Sunday morning in July of 1987, on the way home from church, Al Joyner and Florence Griffith took her young niece and nephew, Khalisha and Larry Wiggs, to a Chuck E. Cheese's restaurant in Los Angeles.
		But this man Joyner, the 1984 Olympic triple jump champion and the older brother of heptathlon world-record holder Jackie Joyner-Kersee, was as warm and comfortable as a pair of custom-made Adidas.
		Joyner sensed that this too was a test, so he steeled himself to wait.

		Griffith Joyner, who died in her sleep on Monday of an apparent heart attack, was an astonishing athlete, and also a controversial one.
		When she added the world record for the 200 (21.34) in Seoul and then abruptly retired just months later, before she could reap all the financial rewards which no doubt would have been showered on her, she could not escape the suspicion that she was fleeing the sport while she could.
		In contrast to her husband, 1984 Olympic triple jump champion Al Joyner, who was unfailingly sweet and happy-go-lucky, Griffith Joyner could seem distant at times.

		One role is in regulating the size of the pool of cells that form the cerebellum, and the other is in proper foliation.
		Based on studies of En1/2 double mutants (Liu et al., 2001 and current studies) and gene replacement studies using the gene targeting knock-in approach we developed (Hanks et al., 1995, 1998), we have found that En1 and En2 have overlapping functions in the early and late phases of cerebellum development.
		In addition to determining the functions of genes such as En1/2, it is necessary to determine the way in which cells move and populate the different cell layers of the cerebellum.

		AL JOYNER: Well, I just realized that this is really my first time sitting at home trying to watch the Olympic games, instead of being there, and I really felt that I wish they'd show them live, because I would stay up all night to watch them.
		When it's being tape-delayed, it's no problem if it was live and American athletes do well, but when it's being tape-delayed and most Americans know which athletes have already accomplished their goal, it's just like, all right, I know who won the backstroke for the guy I was rooting for anyway.
		TERENCE SMITH: Al Joyner, this is also the year of the woman or being depicted that way in the Olympics - more women competing this year than ever before.
