Apple/Samsung Feud Will Stay Burning Long After Calif. Verdict
Aug 27, 2012 10:13 AM PT
A federal jury found Samsung guilty of infringing on several Apple patents Friday in a high-profile patent case that could mean a US$1 billion payout for Cupertino.
Jurors in the San Jose, Calif., court decided that Samsung copied certain design and utility patents, siding with Apple in the majority of the iPhone maker's complaints. As a penalty, Samsung must pay $1.05 billion in damages to Apple -- less than half of the more than $2.5 billion Apple sought.
However, that payout could be tripled since the jury found some instances in which Samsung willfully infringed Apple's patents.
The jury did not find Apple guilty of infringing on some of Samsung's patents.
Speedy Verdict
The nine-person jury came to its conclusion after 21 hours of deliberation. The decision arrived sooner than generally expected, given the complexity of the court-issued verdict form, which had more than 700 points to discuss.
"The jury foreman spoke in great detail about the deliberations, and it was somewhat unusual to get a decision like that so quickly," Chris Rourk, partner at Jackson Walker, told MacNewsWorld. "Whether or not that may have resulted in any error or problems, it's hard to say, but that's one area where the verdict could really be attacked in an appeal."
Samsung expressed its disapproval at the decision, calling the verdict a loss not for the company, but for the "American consumer." The company said it would lead to "fewer choices, less innovation and potentially higher prices," according to a company statement provided to MacNewsWorld by Mira Jang, communications for Samsung.
AAPL soared in after-hours trading following Friday's decision. Its rise continued Monday, with the stock up about 2 percent to $677 around mid-day. Google, which makes the Android operating system that runs on many of Samsung's smartphones, dipped about 2 percent on Monday.
Apple did not respond to our request for comment.
Not Over Yet
"At the end of the day, this is the jury verdict, but it's not the end of the story," said Rourk.
Apple needs to file paperwork that could determine which Samsung products it hopes to ban, and another hearing on Sept. 20 will determine which smartphones and tablets can be kept off U.S. shelves.
In addition to cleaning up loose ends, though, another large-scale fight could ensue. Samsung indicated it will appeal the decision, which likely will lead to a flurry of additional legal wrangling.
"This may just be episode one in the drama that is this case," said Panzer. "Certainly Samsung will appeal. Almost as certain is that Apple will make a motion to enjoin Samsung from selling the infringing products in the U.S. Samsung will, of course, oppose that motion and -- if they lose their opposition -- make another motion asking the court to stay the injunction pending the outcome of the appeal."
In short, said Panzer, the two companies can keep throwing legal punches at each other in the U.S., including Apple's move for an award of its attorneys' fees in the instances of willful infringement. But if one court case couldn't force a settlement out of the two warring parties, the ongoing legal battle might, said Panzer.
"The most likely form is that the parties would agree on a payment from Samsung to Apple in exchange for a license to the infringed patents," he said. "Of course, because it would be a settlement, there would be no admission of infringement, but that's a footnote in the story."
Too Early to Call for Consumers
The range of potential outcomes makes it impossible to call how this could play out for consumers, said Panzer.
"If the parties don't agree on a settlement, Apple would essentially be fighting for the death of Samsung's tablet and smartphones as the market knows them," he said. "A full-blown win for Apple on appeal could very well lead to an injunction preventing Samsung from bringing the infringing devices into the U.S. as they currently stand. Samsung would still be allowed to import its devices if it took out all of the infringing features, but what would that do to their ability to compete with the iPad and iPhone?"
If the companies settle, though, the product offerings wouldn't differ, said Panzer, and it's possible consumers might not notice a slight price increase to cover licensing fees, he added.
However that plays out, the high-profile case -- along with the media coverage and stock highs and lows that accompany it -- might make all of the telecom industry even more cautious, said Rourk.
"It's possible it will make competitor versus competitor litigation perhaps something that parties consider more seriously," he said. "It's always risky when you assert your core patents, because that opens the door to allow a lot of competitors. And every party that's accused of infringement can defend their patents. When you've got a lot of competitors, you could win in one courtroom and feel like you can go down that road with each competitor. That's not unusual, but with two big competitors in a big market displaying that, it's a big verdict."

Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - Rudy and Jan - FULL CONTACT
Rudy and Jan - FULL CONTACT
Rudy Bodlak and Jan Sadecky are both great additions to our ensemble, with good looks and very willing attitudes. So we decided to pair them up for a duo. The scene starts with Jan recling on the sofa, naked to the waist. He is feeling his body, running his chands over his chest, paying particular attention to rubbing his nipples. Then he get up onto his knees and continues to run his hands over himself. Suddenly he is joined by Rudy, who is standing behind him and his hands are working over Jan's body. As he does so Jan looks up into Rudy's eyes. Rudy slowly lowers his face and kisses Jan on the lips. Jan then starts to kiss and lick on one of Rudy's nipples, which clearly has an affect as Rudy opens his jeans to reveal that his cock is rock hard and in need of some attention. The jeans are pushed down so that we can see Rudy's bubble butt as Jan takes that stiff cock in his mouth and begins to suck. He sucks on Rudy's cock, taking it deep in this throat and then licking up and down the shaft. He then closes his mouth over that cock again and Rudy then starts to fuck it into Jan's mouth. A change of position sees Jan's jeans coming off and his cock rock hard too. As Jan lays naked, with his cock at attention Rudy takes some oil and rubs it over Jan's chest and then starts to suck on that big cock. It looks massive as Rudy sucks on it, with his lips closed tight around the head and working up and down on it. Then he starts to lick on the shaft as well before Jan fucks that mouth. Jan wants to move things on, and places Rudy on his back, with his legs in the air. He takes some oil to lubes Rudy's ass and then he begins to finger that tight hole. The finger goes in very deep, with Rudy grimacing somewhat as it does. Then a second finger works its way in a little, before coming out and being replaced by a thumb. Jan judges that Rud's hole is ready and puts him on his knees and slides his big, fat cock deep inside. He starts to fuck Rudy, slowly at first, with Rudy feeling every thrust. Then Jan speeds up and fucks that tight ass nice and deep. The guys change position, with Rudy sitting on that big dick and riding it, his own cock bouncing around as he does so. Jan then starts to fuck up into that ass and the guys take turns in doing the work, with Jan's cock stretching Rudy's hole wide as it is filled with big cock. Jan is ready to cum and Rudy lays down next to him Jan shoot his load all over Rudy's face. Rudy then sucks on Jan's spent cock. Rudy then moves up to Jans mouth and kisses him before laying down to deliver his cumshot. Jan kneels over Rudy and watches for the cum to shoot out of his cock, as Rudy wanks himself to a climax. Jan's then sucks on Rudy's cock to drain it completely before kissing him again, bringing a wonderful scene to an end.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
For our first Wank Party of 2012 we brought Mirek Ceslar and Honza Copak together with three very hot newcomers, Jan Sadecky, Danek Rovny and Tomas Strasak. Continuing on from part 1 we find Jan, in turns, sucking on Honza and Mirek with Tomas sucking him and Danek, on his knees, sucking Tomas. All the cocks are nice and hard and Mirek fucks his cock into Jan's mouth, with gusto. Jan's cock is standing up, and throbbing as Tomas' mouth takes as much of it as he can. The sucking goes on, ubabated with all the guys enjoying it and Mirek also dropping his saliva into Jan's open mouth, and slapping his face with that big cock. Mirek has other plans for Jan too and lets go a stream of piss all over his chest while Tomas is sucking on Jan's dick. The scene changes with Tomas and Honza both laying on their backs, legs up, with Mirek fucking Tomas and Jan fucking Honza. Danek is standing over them watching the fucking as he wanks himself. A change around sees Honza sitting on Mirek's cock and riding it and Jan slides his dick in and out of Tomas' eager hole. Honza's cock is rock hard as he rides Mirek's dick so Danek leans over and sucks on it. Then he kisses Honza before turning his attention back to what Jan and Tomas are doing. Jan is fucking Tomas, whose mouth opens and takes Danek's hard cock for some sucking too. Jan then moves Tomas, raising his ass high in the air to he can fuck him nice and deep, while Tomas sucks on Danek again. Honza's cock needs some ass too and Danek lays on his back to take Honza's fat cock in his ass as Tomas moves so that he can suck Jan and take Mirek's cock in his ass at the same time. Mirek's cock is real deep in Tomas as, stretching his hole as he fucks him. Tomas is taking it very well and sucking on Jan's big dick too. Honza too is fucking well, giving Danek's ass a real good pounding. Time for the cumshots and the guys crowd around Danek to dump their loads. First to let loose is Mirek, who squirts his juice over Danek's face. Danek then takes the cock in his mouth to suck it dry. Honza follows, shooting his cum all over Danek's leg, with Danek dropping to his knees to drain the spent cock. Next to unload is Tomas, who shoots over Danek's chest and then presents his cock for Danek to clean it off. The last to shoot is Jan, who dumps his cum on Danek's face, before Danek takes that massive, sticky cock, into his mouth to get another taste. The guys need to clean up so they all get back into the whirlpool and splash around, bringing a really great Wank Party to a very nice end.

Note from Bill:
Thanks to Geoff and Kyptus for doing the heavy hitting on the Newsletter again today. As Geoff says below, I can't sit at the main computer for any length of time. Each day the wound gets a little better, but the fresh bandage the doctor put on yesterday is not nearly as comfortable as the previous one. I won't be able to do any vlogs for awhile longer. Trust me, that's a blessing. Below is a link on my Blog about yesterday's visit to the hospital:
I forgot to state, Pavel Nikos did a double take when presented with the hospital bill. Operation, several x-rays, drugs, anesthesiologist, and three days in a private room: 300 Kcs. At today's rate, that's about $15.00 US. I hope he didn't march right in and protest. They might find they made a mistake!
Our dear colleague Miro MMS'd the following photo to me:
He told me he'd been to boxing lesson and did a sparring match with his instructor. Above is the result.
I showed to photo to Pavel, and his response was 'boxing or disco?' Unfortunately, my thoughts exactly. Some say he went with Franky to Franky's favorite Albanian disco, and some Albanian tried to pick up Franky…..
Well, what do I know?
I think I've been sitting at the computer for about my limit today. I think Geoff and Kyptus will have to continue doing the heavy hitting for a few more Newsletters.
Hi Everybody, this is Geoff substituting for Bill again today. Bill is unable to work for any length of time at his main computer, as he has to keep his foot raised, to aid his recovery. So I am standing in again. Bill did provide an update on his current situation, in the blog yesterday. Here is what he wrote: I've just returned from having the wound examined and the dressing changed. My surgeon says the wound looks very good, and he will remove the stitches a week from today. That's the good news. The bad news is that the wires, which make walking, even with crutches, extremely hazardous will remain in place for five more weeks. Meaning I'll have to hobble around on crutches, using extreme caution during those weeks.
I'm doing better than I'd expected to be doing at this point. But Mr. Geoff will have to do most of the heavy lifting on the Newsletter. I can't sit at the big computer for more than 15 minutes at a stretch as there's no way to elevate my injured foot. MacBook Air is great, but not for serious work.
This hospital complex is like a small city. As the distance from the entrance to the doctor's office is at least as long as several football pitches end to end, Pavel must drop me off at the ambulance entrance, plant me in a wheel chair, and then go find a place to park. He has to walk back, and roll me to the doctor's office, and then repeat the process in reverse.
What I've noticed while waiting in the ambulance entrance: It's like sitting in the lobby of a busy hotel and watching the taxis pull up and pick up and unload passengers. Replace 'taxis' with 'ambulances.' There's a steady stream of ambulances, head to tail, pulling up, unloading and picking up patients. Now, that's a busy hospital. Remember, everything the communists built had to be the biggest in the world. That included hospitals. Right next to where Pavel parks me is a huge door marked "Traumabox." I assume that's the emergency, emergency room.
So, I'll mostly be on sick leave for at least a few more weeks. Maybe walking and sitting will become easier as the days go by. I can already get around pretty well, if very slowly, on the crutches. How much work I can do depends on how long I can sit comfortably at the 'big computer.' My foot is telling me, "time to go."
I am sure he will be back with us just as soon as he can.
Today we have some really excellent shoots in the newsletter, Rudy Bodlak and Jan Sadecky in a duo, Danek Rovny's Helping Hand, Jirka Bohaty's Erotic Video, Tomas Razina's Session Stills and Mark Kratky's Session Stills.
In the castings we feature Jirka Bukva, Alex Stasak, Jozef Malisek and Miro Kuznik. My pick of the day is Jirka Bukva.

The KZ equations on the configuration space of $n$ distinct points in $\mathbb C$ give rise to a representation of $B_n$ on $V^{\otimes n}$, where $V$ is any given representation of $SL(2)$ (we'll stick to this case; clearly we could work with other Lie groups as well). The WRT Hilbert space $\mathcal H_n$ associated to the $SL(2)$ character variety of $\mathbb S^2\setminus\{p_0,\ldots,p_n\}$ (where we restrict the monodromy around each $p_i$ to lie in a particular conjugacy class) also carries a natural action of $B_n$.
Now, both of these representations give rise to the Jones polynomial in a more or less straightforward manner, so I would almost like to conjecture that there is a natural isomorphism between the two. Unfortunately, I don't even see a reason why they should have the same dimension (and I'd guess they probably don't!). Thus I have a weaker proposal:
Question: Is there a natural homomorphism $\rho:V^{\otimes n}\to\mathcal H_n$ (or perhaps it should go the other direction) which respects the action of $B_n$?
Remark: There are choices to be made to construct these representations (KZ and WRT). I expect the choice of representation $V$ and Planck constant $\hbar$ in the KZ equations correspond in a straightforward manner with the choice of level $k$ and conjugacy class for the WRT character variety. More specifically, one would most certainly take $\hbar=k^{-1}$ and the conjugacy class to have trace $2\cos(\hbar(\dim V-1))$ [perhaps up to multiplicative constants].

Appropriate for gestational age (AGA) describes a fetus or newborn infant whose size is within the normal range for his or her
Assigning size is a way to measure and monitor the growth of the infant throughout the pregnancy as well as at the time of birth.
The measurement is calculated based on the estimated gestational age (how many weeks the mother was pregnant) in comparison to what is considered normal height, weight, head size, and developmental level for a child of the same gestational age and gender.
Graphs are available showing the upper and lower normal limits for different gestational ages from the mid-20s through 42 weeks of gestation.
An appropriate for gestational age full-term infant is heavier than 2500 grams (about 5.5 lbs.) and lighter than about 4000 grams (about 8.75 lbs.).
For infants weighing less, see:
Small for gestational age (SGA)
For infants weighing more, see:
Large for gestational age (LGA)
Knowing the group into which an infant fits is important. An AGA baby tends to have the lowest risk for any problems. AGA babies have lower rates of disease and death than babies that are small or large for their gestational age.

If stool softeners are not working perhaps an enema might help.
You probably need to improve your diet as you seem to have a constipation problem.
For constipation, castor oil is very good for a one-off remedy as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22c... but it is unsuitable for regular use.
For constipation, suppositories, laxatives, fiber supplements and enemas are all totally unnecessary if you eat the right foods.
All fruit and vegetables in very large amounts are laxative.
You need to permanently change your diet or you are likely to get colon cancer.
Constipation can make you extremely unwell and can lead to colon cancer as it causes a build up of carcinogenic toxins in the system.
The intake of foods such as milk, cheese, white rice, white flour and red meat should be restricted, because they tend to contribute to constipation.
Any food that has had the fiber stripped out, the nutrients processed out or slows down the digestion is a constipation culprit. Here's a list of foods shown to cause constipation problems:
?Meats, especially fatty meats, red meat and processed meats,
?Dairy Products, such as cheese, ice cream and whole milk,
?Fast Foods ? burgers, French fries and other fried foods, pizza, etc.,
?Refined grains, like white rice or any refined white flour products,
?Highly starchy foods ? white potatoes, corn and all refined grains,
?Pastries and other high sugar products, such as cakes, cookies and pies,

text: One of the advantages of the Ext 4.0 documentation tool (JSDuck) is that it generates documentation that is crawlable/indexable by Google. I'm working on generating the documentation for my project and would like to reap the same benefits. I'm curious as to how Sencha is generating the HTML snapshots. It doesn't look like JSDuck emits the fragments as static content. Are you using a servlet filter with HTMLUnit like Google recommends or some other technology? I'll probalby go down that route unless I hear back that there is a better way.

Movie was a graphic novel come to life ,I didn't like the bad costume on the Flash,they need someone older and muscular not a twig in a red suit with a bad helmet .Perhaps the current Flash would have bern best.I like Affect as Batman everyone else were great.
Great movie but Cyborg and Aquaman could have been omitted. The Flash actor needs to be older and act more serious and nature. I hope to never see anymore fighting between Superman and Batman. Those past scenes with them fighting was a bad mistake. Superman and Wonder Woman needed longer parts in this movie.
Nice movie love it
I couldn't even make it through the trailer!
Great movie! Loved all the characters! Good time had by all!!!
1 star reviews makes great sense because it doesn't deserve 5 stars. I think half a star would do but I can't do that. I don't know why anyone would give this movie 5 stars
Loved the visual effects and the story was good too. No idea how people are giving this 1 star. Makes no sense. It's a really good movie. Don't listen to these internet movie critics.
Awesome! Loved it. It was exactly what I expected.
I didn't understand what was really happening most of the time. Popcorn was Orville Redenbacher though, and it was great.

This spectacular development forms part of the wider regeneration of the Victoria area in London.
Occupying a prime site at the junction of Victoria Street and Buckingham Gate, this scheme provides 24,000m2 of premium office space and 1,500m2 of street level shops and restaurants.
A highly flexible modern office environment with large amounts of column-free space, the 13-storey development is designed for maximum tenant flexibility.
A new canopied pedestrian area connects the surrounding streetscape and provides space for pavement cafés and outdoor public seating.
We led the development of the highly complex cladding for the tilting glass planes that form the building's envelope.
Our Design Group worked with the project structural designers on an alternative to the proposed secant wall for the basement, installation of which may have encountered difficulties due to the number of services around site. A less invasive solution was developed which had the added advantage of being quicker and quieter to install.
Almost all of the demolition waste was recycled as was the excavated sand and gravel.
A solar thermal system previously used on a number of other projects helped heat the water for the welfare facilities.
A classroom was set up on site as part of the National Skills Academy to provide training opportunities to those employed on the project. This also incorporated the Westminster Work Scheme to provide education and employment opportunities for the long-term unemployed. We worked with our supply chain to provide candidates for the schemes and long-term employment through our clients' projects.
As an early signatory to the Victoria Employment Charter we also worked with Land Securities to provide training and work opportunities for the medium-term unemployed.
Located in an area in which client Land Securities has a number of ongoing projects, effective neighbourhood liaison was a key consideration. Our team comprised core members from the Watermark Place commercial development which won a Gold Award from the City of London Considerate Contractor Scheme.
The transparency that resulted from Building Information Modelling ultimately led to a more collaborative design process, resulting in more efficient and higher quality solutions.
62 Buckingham Gate is one of a series of prestigious contracts for Land Securities. Previous projects include the redevelopment of Birmingham's Bullring, New Street Square, Cardinal Place and 30 Gresham Street in London, and The Gate leisure and retail development in Newcastle Upon Tyne.
The project was named winner of the Best Large Commercial Building category at the London Local Authority Building Control Building Excellence Awards 2015 and won a Silver Considerate Constructors Scheme 2013 National Site Award.

Contractor will install e-mail, other systems for 17,000 employees
Unisys Corp. has won a General Services Administration contract worth $6.7 million to create a secure cloud-based e-mail and collaboration platform for the agency.
Under the terms of the five-year task order, Unisys will build the platform using Google Apps for Government to allow GSA employees to collaborate and work remotely from any location at any time, a Unisys announcement said.
The award makes GSA the first federal agency to move e-mail to a cloud-based system agencywide, agency officials said.
Unisys will provide transition, data migration, training and cloud-based software as a service for the new environment, which will provide up to 17,000 GSA employees and contractors worldwide with enhanced collaboration services, including e-mail with expanded storage and full access to Google Apps collaboration tools.
The cloud-based solution includes applications such as Google's Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs and Google Sites.
According to GSA, the migration will result in a 50 percent savings over the next five years when compared to current staff, infrastructure and contract support costs.
GSA's move to cloud-based e-mail and collaboration tools is also part of a governmentwide effort to use more agile, lightweight technology such as cloud computing and shared services to limit the need for expensive, redundant infrastructure.
"GSA's cloud e-mail award is in step with the [Obama] administration's 'cloud first' strategy and demonstrates that agile, secure, reliable, and cost-effective cloud options exist to rapidly improve agency operations and services," said Dave McClure, associate administrator of GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Innovative Technologies.
The firm fixed-price task order was a competitive award to Unisys via GSA's Alliant contract.
The Unisys team includes Tempus Nova Inc. and Acumen Solutions.
Unisys Corp., of Blue Bell, Pa., ranks No. 38 on Washington Technology's 2010 Top 100 list of the largest federal government contractors.

NEW BEDFORD — The father of a critically injured fisherman is crediting a speedy rescue effort by the New Bedford police, fire and EMS departments with saving his only son's life after a serious accident at sea last Saturday night.
NEW BEDFORD — The father of a critically injured fisherman is crediting a speedy rescue effort by the New Bedford police, fire and EMS departments with saving his only son's life after a serious accident at sea last Saturday night.
"He's still critical but he's breathing on his own. Thank God for New Bedford fire and rescue. They did a fine job," said Carl Albert, the mate aboard the clam boat Misty Dawn. "I already lost a brother and my father at sea so I didn't want it to go to a third generation."
The 95-foot clammer was dredging 25 miles south of Cuttyhunk when a shackle holding the massive steel towing block let go and it fell on deck, striking crewman William Albert in the abdomen, lacerating his liver. Carl Albert looked on in horror as his 27-year-old son began coughing up blood.
The Misty Dawn immediately called the Coast Guard for help and was directed to return to New Bedford with all speed. Because of the nature of William's injuries, a helicopter evacuation was not recommended, Coast Guard public affairs officer Robert Simpson told The Standard-Times. "Putting him in a basket might have made his injuries worse," he said.
New Bedford police then alerted the EMS and Fire departments and the city's 41-foot fire boat left the State Pier at 12.45 a.m. with two medics aboard. "The clam boat could only make about 10 knots so our boat went out to meet them," Fire Chief Michael Gomes said. "It will do up to 27 knots in calm seas."
Paramedics Bill Sullivan and Jen Cabral found the victim "ashen, cool and unresponsive" when they came alongside the fishing boat near Buoy 1 in Buzzards Bay, according to EMS Director Mark McGraw. After transferring the injured man to the fire boat, they got him on two IVs as the boat sped back to the pier, arriving at 2:38 a.m.
A waiting ambulance rushed the man to Rhode Island Hospital, where he immediately went into surgery. "There is no doubt in my mind that he would have died on the Misty Dawn on the steam in," McGraw said.
Carl Albert agreed that the intervention had saved his son. "They gave him 50 pints of blood in the hospital and removed a piece of the liver," he said. "He's wiggling his toes now and shaking his head and they hope he can start taking food by Sunday."
Saturday was the first time the 41-footer has been used in a real-life emergency, Gomes said. "This is the reason why we have it," he said. "If someone is having an issue out there, we want to be able to help."

RNAi: Creating a New Approach to Medicine
The core doctrine of our biology is this: DNA, the twin helix in our cells, makes RNA, which in turn produces proteins. Because it's the abnormal production of proteins that causes human disease, drugs are typically produced to block their further production. But today, modern biotechnology offers the opportunity to go well beyond blocking the production of proteins to actually silencing them.

Taipei's Crosswalks
Posted by Patrick Cowsill at 23:21
That is an especially dangerous corner in Taipei. I'm glad you're going to be vigilant about catching irresponsible drivers there. I know I've gone after a few in that region myself!
Oh, and keep an eye out for elderly women on bicycles who pull up behind you on the sidewalk and honk until you get out of their way. :)
"Oh, and keep an eye out for elderly women on bicycles who pull up behind you on the sidewalk and honk until you get out of their way. :)"
That'll be my project for next month.
The only thing I would worry about is being sued for defamation of character or some such nonsense. I carry a large rock in my kid's stroller as pulling it out and showing it tends to dissuade most crazy people from messing with us.
"The only thing I would worry about is being sued for defamation of character or some such nonsense."
Somebody told me the city was actually encouraging us to photograph law breakers and even offering rewards. I don't know if it's true though.
Maybe they are Patrick, but you know how Taiwan's governance is, left hand says do this and then the right hand says no, I don't know, or any random outcome. Us foreigners just don't understand Chinese culture.
I thought he was already doing that? ;)
"Want to do a blog where people could submit pictures and/or videos of people driving erratically or parking on sidewalks?"
It sounds interesting. But I'm also getting tired out from doing public service. I want to go back to posts on local history.
Just out of curiosity, what do you have in mind?
Let's do it! I've already been given a suggestion for name: Shame On You or Have You No Shame?
A bunch of us doing would have soooo much ammo. Just the odd post now and then from everyone would do it.
Drivers in Taiwan are apparently more concerned about getting their car scratched than they are about hitting a person. When I hold a metal-tipped umbrella out in front of me when I'm on the crosswalk, I'm sure they think I'm a lunatic, but they do yield, or at least give me an extra meter of space.
If they don't show signs of slowing down and are expecting us to leap out of their way, I stop and cock the umbrella back with both hands like a baseball bat, and that usually gets their attention.
But I should probably be more careful. My girlfriend sometimes gets angry at me and says I'm going to start a fight one of these days.
If I was disabled or walking with a child I'm sure I would get even angrier.
But it is like so many other things in Taiwan-- it is pointless to have a crosswalk, a bike lane, a "pedestrians have right of way" sign, etc. if the police still do not think it worth their time to enforce the related laws and rules.
What John said. Missus says the same about me and I nearly have had a scuffle a few times.
And, yes, when I'm with my kids my blood boils and I could kill some of these selfish no-dickers.

This year, 37 senior advisers with CUNA Brokerage Services Inc. helped build a home for the Las Vegas Habitat for Humanity and after the build contributed a total of $4,500 to charities. The advisers who chipped in money and time, make up CBSI's Senior Advisor Leadership Team and call themselves the "Give Back Group." The Give Back Group was established in 2008 as part of CBSI's annual financial adviser meeting.
"Every year we have a national senior adviser leadership team conference, and every year the first day is always a give back day," said Jim Metz, CBSI president and CEO. "I'm just happy to be able to work with a group that would take the time to give back like they do. It really reflects the credit union model."
This year, the group chose to help build a home through Habitat for Humanity in Las Vegas. Eighteen senior advisors and their spouses helped build the second story of a new house, Metz said. Building materials and equipment were provided by Habitat for Humanity.

It's funny how far two dollars will go.
For sports teams and other extracurricular groups at City Schools, it may not be how far $2 will take them but the psychological boost knowing they may not have to raise that much more just to participate for their school.
In January, a Campbellsville Board of Education proposal was floated that traveling groups from City Schools would have to pay $3.86 a mile for bus travel.
For some reason, it always seems more difficult to fork over the money for necessities than it does for luxuries. It's much more pleasant to spend money going to the movies than paying the electric bill.
But the electric bill is a necessity for all of us. And so is medicine.
A story in Monday's News-Journal gave the details on local pharmacies' generic drug programs, programs that are going to save us all some money.
Generic drugs, according to the FDA, are exactly the same as brand-name drugs. They just cost less.
Heading toward its 20th year, the Kentucky Lottery has certainly made its presence known in Taylor County. Last year alone, Taylor Countians bought $3.6 million in lottery tickets. That's an amazing amount of money.
But at the same time, Taylor County has reaped benefits as well. Payback in prizes totaled $2.2 million, while $1.8 million was paid in college scholarships.
At least we got back more than what we paid out.
A story on today's front page details all the aspects of the Kentucky Lottery.
The collective whoops of approval in living rooms around Taylor County must have surely raised the community decibel level on Super Bowl Sunday.
But it wasn't a football game we were juiced about.
J.B. Holmes won his second FBR Open in Scottsdale, Ariz. about 20 minutes before the Giants-New England kickoff in Phoenix. That's when his 7-foot-long putt found the bottom of the cup and a gut-wrenching playoff victory over tour veteran Phil Mickelson.
Way to go, J.B.!
A 13-year-old gets fouled on the basketball court by another student. In turn, later that evening, he sends a Myspace message to that student, saying, "You'd better watch out. I'll get you next time."
Is that 13-year-old being a bully?
One person might say yes, another might disagree. But who's right? And what, if anything, should be done about it?
"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
-From Maya Angelou's "On the Pulse of Morning"
Beginning with today's issue and continuing through the month of February, the Central Kentucky News-Journal will be running a four-part series highlighting Campbellsville residents in honor of Black History Month.
A bill being proposed in the state legislature would require children to have a dental exam before starting school. Students today already must have a physical exam, an eye exam and up-to-date immunizations. And an addition such as this, while it could pose a hardship for some families, certainly makes sense.
A similar bill was first proposed about seven years ago. Each year, however, it has gotten lost in the legislative process.
Tomorrow is the last day for candidates to file to run in the May 20 Primary Election.
On a local basis, the ballot includes races for Campbellsville City Council and 51st District State Representative.
The State Representative's race will be particularly interesting as incumbent Russ Mobley, a Republican, is not seeking re-election. Instead, two other Republicans - Russell Montgomery and Asa James Swan - have filed to run. No Democrat had filed papers as of press deadline for this edition.
We hear the words more often lately - budget cuts, recession, economic downturn. No one is sheltered from the ramifications - especially our government agencies that count on tax dollars to make ends meet.
So, it comes as no real surprise that one of our school systems is looking at the possibility of raising the mileage fee it charges school groups for extracurricular trips.
We can be relatively sure that there will be many more such proposals if budget cuts reach the level already being discussed in Frankfort.
We don't have a problem with legitimate discussion.
Decades ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said to supporters of the civil rights movement in Washington, D.C., "... I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal.'
Campbellsville and Taylor County were once again well represented at this past weekend's Kentucky Junior Miss program.
Megan Romines made a Top 15 showing. Taylor County's junior misses always do well at the state program and this year was no exception.
Megan, you should be proud of your accomplishments. We are. We congratulate you on your success and wish for you only more in the future.
"I'm warning you," Mom says. "This is the last time!"
That idle threat is probably heard on a regular basis in every household from here to Timbuktu. But Taylor County magistrates heard something similar recently, and we certainly hope they'll really start to listen soon.
Last November, magistrates voted to adopt a resolution recommended by the Court's Transportation Committee that the County no longer accept gravel roads into its road system - with the exception of three roads already in the process of being accepted.
Thanks to technology, our families will soon be safer.
A new "One Call Now" program, already in use at some local schools, will notify us by telephone in the event of an emergency in Taylor County.
The one-call system can send a pre-recorded message to as many as 5,000 phone numbers in a minute's time. In less than 10 minutes, all of Taylor County could be warned of an approaching storm.
Victims of domestic violence go to great lengths to protect their children. They do not want their children to be hurt and will voluntarily take a beating in order to keep their children from being hit.
A mother's worst nightmare is to have her children become a victim of the violence.
Renewed public discourse about the advisability of lowering the legal drinking age, largely fueled by former Middlebury College President John M. McCardell Jr., has opened a different front in the war on substance use and abuse among young people.
While some have tired of the now decades-old debate, a fresh round of honest discussion by informed public policy-makers and pundits can only inure to the benefit of those with the most at stake.
Ask anyone what comes to mind when they hear the words "Girl Scouts" and they're likely to say: "cookies."
And they'd be right.
But Girl Scouts are much more than just cookies. Just ask one.
For nearly 100 years, Girl Scouting has helped to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place.
According to the organization's Web site, Girl Scouting is the world's leading organization dedicated solely to girls where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, young ladies build character and skills for success in the real world.
In response to (The) Courier Journal's Dec. 17 trashing Interstate 66 and Kentucky as a whole ...
The first time I ever heard of the "Road to Nowhere" was when Happy Chandler, running for governor in 1953, called Gov. Lawrence Wetherby's proposed Kentucky Turnpike from Louisville to Elizabethtown, the "Road that starts nowhere and ends nowhere." Today, what was the Kentucky Turnpike is now part of I-65, one of the busiest roads in Kentucky.
Thirteen may be an unlucky number for some, but for Campbellsville High, which hosted its 13th basketball tournament during the holiday break, it was another great run of basketball entertainment.
Sixteen teams, three days, 24 games, 42 hours of basketball.
The tournament committee led by Campbellsville High Coach Tim Davis, Athletics Director Jim Hardy and a host of volunteers did an excellent job of moving things along. Thirteen years is a good foundation for success.
Five hundred. That's the number of children whose Christmas prospects were improved this year because of Toys for Tots and Toys for Kids.
We are a giving community, but we're also an active community with many active participants. All the giving in the world does not necessarily compute to a good project. But we're blessed to have a couple of great coordinators - Sharon Dobson at the fire departments and Denise Gupton at Rescue.
In about a hundred hours the calendar will flip to a new year - 2008. Almost hard to believe, isn't it?
But as we move ahead, we know that promises can be a dime a dozen. The ones we make that are worth carrying through are as scarce as a hen's teeth. But that doesn't mean we shouldn't try.
We may have a few personal things that we're going to resolve in 2008 - trim a few pounds, stop smoking, get right with God, rekindle a friendship, or be a better mom or dad.

I agree. I think that we should start a movement. I work in a hospital and I knew going into my profession that I would have to work weekends and holidays, but there are plenty of jobs where it is not necessary to be open on weekends. The employees that have to work at those jobs truly miss out on a quality of life. We all complain about the rat race; this would be one way to show our true protest. Thank you for stating something that should be obvious to all Catholics.
Re: "Keeping the Lord's day" (Faith, June 15) and "My new protest" (Guest Column, June 15).
Msgr. Pope wrote about working on Sunday. In addition, J.D. Mullane wrote about how he came to realize that he should stop work that is really unnecessary on Sundays. It took about 25 adult years for it to dawn on me that walking around in the stores at the local mall and occasionally buying something on Sunday — all of which I very much enjoyed — was promoting work on the part of others on Sunday. Both Msgr. Pope and J.D. Mullane point out that charity necessitates certain kinds of work on Sunday (police, fireman, medical emergency).
I still wonder about restaurants (on Sundays, in particular, people enjoy a relaxed meal out) and entertainment (a good movie, a professional baseball game — even just the TV) all of which require Sunday workers. Seems to me these are also on the "acceptable list."
Re: "St. Anthony's Chapel — where Scripture is alive" (Openers, June 8).
I was very interested in your visit to St. Anthony's Chapel in Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, I have not yet had the privilege of visiting there, but it will be on my list of pilgrimages when I next visit Pennsylvania.
However, there is another shrine in Maria Stein, Ohio (northeast of Dayton) that was established in 1875. The present chapel was built in 1880-1892.
The Maria Stein Shrine of the Holy Relics has a collection of more than 1,000 documented relics of the saints. Admittedly, not as extensive as St. Anthony's Chapel, but it is a very interesting place to visit.
Re: "Expressing gratitude" (Catholic Journal, June 1).
I am writing to pass along my good wishes to Bob Lockwood. I am excited when I know it is a week for his column. Nothing against other columnists, but I think he is special and I relate very well to most everything he writes about. He has been in my thoughts and prayers. I hope he will be feeling good and back to writing his column again soon. I think Bob just has a unique gift of getting right to the core on whatever issue he is discussing.
Re: "Recent botched executions are cause for alarm" (News Analysis, June 15).
Even though I'm a Catholic, I'll be open and honest: I'm in favor of the death penalty.
I believe victims should get proper justice. This shouldn't always mean capital offenders get free food and housing (three hots and a cot) for their life. Not to mention the fact that my tax dollar pays the tab.
Having admitted to that, there are more ways than lethal injection for justice.
Re: "Immigration reform" (In Brief, June 22).
I read that Archbishop Kurtz is calling for immigration reform. I beg all the bishops not to get on board with that nonsense. The only reform this country needs is to enforce the laws already on the books. The United States is a sovereign nation, and we have a right to control our borders, just like every other nation. Immigration is not a humanitarian or a Christian issue. It is a political issue.

A teen with a rareneurological condition that affects his vision is on a mission to raise awareness of the disorder after medics failed to help him.
Davin Basi, 18, of Intake suffers from Visual Snow Syndrome - a rare condition that causes symptoms including double vision and light sensitivity.
But Davin has been left with no where to turn to as medics are baffled by the condition that is in the very early stages of scientific research.
Davin, who has suffered from the condition since he was 12, is now hoping to raise awareness and funds to help find a cure.
He said: "Each time I go visit an eye specialist, they have no idea what I'm talking about and don't seem to take it seriously.
"Although it is rare, thousands of people suffer from it around the world and it's something that does get me down.
"It's really frustrating that doctors and eye spcialist haven't been able to help so I want to do as much as I can to help raise awareness and funds to help find a treatment."
Researchers are in the process of trying to find a suitable treatment for the condition and a crowd-funding campaign has been set up by an American charity to raise $50,000 to fund the work.

Sure explains the aspiration pneumonia he had last month. Have no idea what they are going to suggest to do. I know they mentioned a trach, which we are not thrilled with. Still waiting to schedule the EKG and check on his heart. Having a lot of seizures over the past two days. Something is brewing.

5 Unforgettable Train Trips
Itineraries that take you through astounding scenic stretches on three continents.
Cross-country in Canada
Combine three trains—the Canadian from Vancouver to Toronto, a Toronto–Montreal commuter train, and the Ocean from Montreal to Halifax—to go your own pace traversing the almost 4,000 miles from one end of Canada to the other.
Outside Between Vancouver and Toronto, you'll pass the highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, the nearly 13,000-foot Mount Robson, along with the town of Jasper in 4,200-square-mile Jasper National Park, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site. Spring and fall are peak times for spotting bighorn sheep, grizzlies, moose, and elk on the 600-plus miles of trails.
Inside Book a bedroom cabin or a berth on the Canadian to gain access to the dome of the Park lounge car, with 360-degree views of the Rockies (continental breakfast included).
888/842-7245, viarail.ca, 30-day Canrailpass—good for 12 days of travel—from $557, upgrade to a sleeping berth from $83, single cabin from $183.
Copper Canyon in Mexico
On the 408-mile trip from Los Mochis to Chihuahua, El Chepe (from ChP, short for Chihuahua al Pacífico) traverses Barranca del Cobre (Copper Canyon), a canyon complex that is 14 times the size of the Grand Canyon. Work on the railway started in 1861 and took 100 years to complete, but the actual train ride only takes about 16 hours.
Outside The route crosses 37 bridges—including one almost 2,000 feet long—and runs through 86 tunnels. At La Pera (The Pear) tunnel, the train makes a sharp 180-degree turn on an incline inside a mountain. Stop over in Creel, one of the highest towns on the route at over 7,850 feet in elevation.
Inside Sit on the southern side of the train for the best views of the rivers and canyons (that's the right side if you're traveling northeast from Los Mochis to Chihuahua).

Trans-Siberian Railway in Russia
One of the most famous and most romanticized train lines in the world, the Trans-Siberian Railway journeys along the 6,000-mile run (that's eight time zones!) from Moscow to Vladivostok over six days.
Outside Covering about a quarter of the globe, you'll pass cities like Novosibirsk, the biggest metropolis in Siberia, and natural wonders like Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater lake, and the taiga, a vast subarctic coniferous forest. Along the way, there will be babushkas selling cooked dishes at the stations where the train stops: fish, meat pies, vegetables.
Inside There are no showers, so bathing is a challenge—all the more reason to make an overnight stop or two along the way.
waytorussia.net, first class $964, second class $461, third class $161. (rates based on April 2011 travel).
Glacier Express in Switzerland
Possibly the slowest express train going: It takes eight hours to travel 180 miles from St. Moritz to Zermatt, at the foot of the Matterhorn.
Outside The train follows an engineering marvel of a route, passing 291 bridges and 91 tunnels (count 'em!). The Landwasser Viaduct, with six arches that each span 65 feet, is more than 210 feet above the valley below—those afraid of heights will want to keep their eyes on the seat in front of them.
Inside The panorama cars in first and second class have extra-tall windows to maximize the views of the Swiss Alps. Three-course meals are available in the dining car or at your seat.
011-41/31-378-0101, glacierexpress.ch, second class from $140.
Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in India
You may recognize it from The Darjeeling Limited—or maybe you've heard Mark Twain's comment about the ride: "It is the most enjoyable day I have spent on earth." The Darjeeling is a World Heritage site and is nicknamed the "Toy Train" because of its narrow gauge of two feet.
Outside The 55-mile journey from New Jalpaiguri to Darjeeling takes just over seven hours and includes several switchbacks and four loops as the track climbs more than 7,000 feet. Along the way, the scenery ranges from jungles to tea plantations. The train stops in Trindhara long enough for passengers to take a tea break and observe one of the zigzag sections of track by which the train climbs sharply in short distances. With the Batasia Loop, the tracks spiral up, through a tunnel, and over a hilltop. Aside from being an amazing feat of engineering, the loop provides a panoramic view of Darjeeling, with the Kanchenjunga mountain—the third-highest in the world—in the background.
Inside Riding the DHR is like taking a step into the past—11 of the 17 locomotives are coal-fired engines between 82- and 121-years-old.

Junior Discus Ace Takes 22nd in NCAA
DES MOINES, Iowa – Junior Mike Levine's remarkable season came to an end Wednesday at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Final Championships, hosted by Drake University. Levine finished 22nd in the discus throw, with only six spots and 3.07m separating him from All-American status.
Levine was unfortunate to foul on two of his three attempts, and his one good throw of 51.71m (169'8") was not quite enough to send him through to the finals. The event was won by Nebraska's Chad Wright (62.79m – 206'0").
Though it was not his best outing, Levine has much to be proud of for the long road he took to Des Moines. An IC4A qualifier in the discus, hammer and weight throws this year, he won the latter event twice during the indoor season and twice placed second. He also set a new PR in the hammer throw (58.71m – 192'7"), took third at Heps and qualified for NCAA Regionals in that event for the first time in his career.
But it was in the discus throw that he was truly dominant, winning the Ivy League title for a second consecutive year. Aside from notching victories in the event at three other meets, he also earned All-East accolades and threw a season best of 53.93m (175'11") at Regionals to qualify for Nationals. Levine's PR in the discus (54.41m – 178'6"), which he threw as a freshman, is the second-best in school history.
The NCAA Championships continue through Saturday, but with Levine's last throw comes the official conclusion to the Bulldogs' 2012 season.

I was so flattered to see so many emails about my sweet girl's mobile! Instead of giving each of you a how-to by email, I figured I'd just make a separate post. Also, I've been down for the past few days with a nasty sinus infection (yuck) so I apologize for the delay in replying. There's a chance Miss Lily Kate will be here Monday so I've been trying to get as much rest as possible.
You can see the rest of Lily Kate's nursery HERE.
5) Sheetrock anchor with screw.
The important part is making sure the 6 strings are all the same length so it hangs level. If just one string is 'off' it will hang sideways (or "cattywampus" as my Dad likes to call it). It took me a few tries too, but I promise it will work. Once you are SURE it's level, go ahead and tie 2 or 3 more knots where all the strings come together. Then tie one long string to this knot (again, tie 2 or 3 good knots). This is the string you will use to hang it from the ceiling. Find something in your house you can temporarily tie it to while adding the crystals. This will save a lot of time from untangeling. We have a loft, so I used the railing upstairs.
Also, the wooden monogram letters I used above her crib came from kygracedesigns. The side initials are 18" and the center is 24". I painted the sides khaki for depth (same color as the rest of the walls in our house) and the face is SW-Antique White. We just used a few penny nails to hang these. You can't even see them.
You all have a wonderful rest of the week! I'm about to sanitize baby bottles. ;)
(If anyone makes this, please send me a picture! I'd love to see it!)
-- I get emails almost every day asking if: 1) I will sell my mobile, 2) I will sell my extra crystals, or 3) I will make another mobile to sell. The answer to all 3 those of those questions is "No." I wish I had the extra time to sit down and make pretty mobiles, but the reality is, I don't. Also, shipping these would almost be impossible. I plan to use the rest of our crystals in another project and I plan to keep LK's mobile for as long as she will have it hanging in her room. ;)
-- I guesstimate about 100 strands on this mobile with 2 or 3 crystals per strand.
-- Almost two years later and the mobile still looks great! We haven't had any problems with falling crystals. :)

Slayer guitarist died of alcohol-related liver scarring
Slayer rocker Jeff Hanneman's official cause of death has been listed as alcohol-related liver scarring.
The guitarist died in a Los Angeles hospital on May 2, aged 49, and now it has emerged he succumbed to alcohol-related cirrhosis, or an irreversible scarring of the liver.
In a post on Slayer's official website, Hanneman's devastated bandmates admit they were unaware of "the true extent" of his liver problems until their pal was facing death.
The statement reads: "We've just learned that the official cause of Jeff's death was alcohol-related cirrhosis.
"While he had his health struggles over the years, including the recent Necrotising fasciitis infection that devastated his well-being (after a spider bite in 2011), Jeff and those close to him were not aware of the true extent of his liver condition until the last days of his life."
The stars go on to refute rumours Hanneman was set to undergo an operation to help relieve his condition, and insist he was optimistic about making new music.
Slayer add: "Contrary to some reports, Jeff was not on a transplant list at the time of his passing, or at any time prior to that.
"In fact, by all accounts, it appeared that he had been improving - he was excited and looking forward to working on a new record."
Slayer are planning to hold a public memorial for fans to pay their respects to guitarist Jeff Hanneman.
"While the details are being worked out now, Slayer wants its fans to know that there will be a celebration of Jeff Hanneman's life sometime later this month, along with Jeff's family and friends, the public will be invited to attend. More information will be posted here soon," the band wrote on their Facebook page.
No venue for the memorial has been confirmed.

Yet it's safe to say it was a shock to almost everyone when Voeckler not only held on to his lead over all other contendors for the yellow, but was a primary activist in chasing down attacks. I'd have expected Voeckler, by any reasonable measure outmatched in that group, to take a very conservative approach to the climb, following the smoothest wheel to avoid going into the red for even a few seconds. Cadel Evans and Alberto Contador are both exceptional in their ability to put on short bursts of amazing climbing speed. So if Andy Schleck attacked, Voeckler could have let one of these riders close the gap, perhaps following Basso who would steadily bring it back together afterwards. But instead Voeckler was sprinting back to Andy's wheel himself.
Voeckler's special motivation on the climb.
Meanwhile, Andy was tempering his attacks based on what was evident weakness in his brother. Fränk obviously wasn't feeling as frisky, and the risk was an attack by Andy could result in nothing more than Fränk getting dropped from the group. That would hardly serve his team's interest. Of course, best of all would be for Andy to attack and get away solo, something a lot of his fans obviously wanted to see, but Andy had a good view of how his brother and the others appeared, and if Fränk was a weak link, he may have realized the team would do better by staying united at least until the upcoming Alpine climbs.
All of this start-and-stop worked to Voeckler's favor. Voeckler is also a punchy rider with a strong top-end, but where he'd have most likely succumbed would have been a faster, steady pace. The lack of cooperation among the favorites also allowed first Jelle Vanendert and later Samuel Sanchez to ride away from the group -- Jelle is out of overall contention and Samuel, although now 6th overall, is a poor time trialist and so still needs to gain considerable time in the mountains to be considered a threat. So by cooperating the favorites obviously could have climbed faster, likely faster than Voeckler could have sustained. But dropping Voeckler wasn't the priority, since Voeckler also is considered weak in the time trial, and so I don't believe the favorites consider him a likely threat to still lead in Paris.
Science of Sport plot of great VAMs in Tour history. Voeckler's 1600 on Plateau de Beille is well off the chart.
This is all deja-vu for Voeckler, who also rode to defend his yellow jersey seven years ago on the same climb. He finished that stage 13th, 4:42 behind Lance Armstrong and Ivan Basso, to just hold on to his yellow.
So what is it that allowed Voeckler to go from a rider who got dumped by close to 5 minutes by the favorites to one who was in the mix, matching their accelerations to the end?
Michele Ferrari named and popularized the use of the VAM metric: the rate of altitude gain of a rider on a climb, typically measured in meters of altitude gained per hour. It's a decent way to objectively compare rider power/mass ratios, especially when comparing climbs of a similar grade and altitude difference.
The results: Vanendert finished the climb in 46:01, a VAM of 1627 m/h. Samuel Sanchez was 20 seconds slower, then the favorites finished Samuel Sanchez was not far behind (20") and the group of favorites did it at 1600m/h (5.75 w/kg), in 46:48.
In contrast, according to Wikipedia Lance Armstrong reportedly did the climb in 45:30 in 2004, and Marco Pantani climbed it in a remarkable 43:30 in 1998. In 2004, Voeckler finished 4:42 behind Armstrong, making his time 50:12.
So it appears Voeckler was able to take 3:24 out of his time from seven years ago. But the stage in 2004 was 206 km ridden at 33.8 kph, with seven rated climbs:
In contrast, this year's stage, while still extremely tough, was clearly easier: 168 km with six rated climbs (CyclingNews) ridden at 32.2 kph. That's 1.6 kph slower than the 2004 stage, which had an extra category 3 climb. So it's reasonable Voeckler would be faster this time.
It's no surprise the speed was higher in 2004. The finishing list looks likes a who's-whom in mid-naughts doping scandles. Of the twelve riders finishing ahead of Voeckler only the last, 12th-place Stéphane Goubert, has not been involved in a major doping scandal. I think it's safe at this point to include the stage winner in the "involved" category, given the consistency and number and specificity of charges against him. So it's really remarkable Voeckler was able to hang with that crew as long as he was without totally collapsing on that final beyond-category climb.
Anyway, Voeckler's weakness is his time trial, and thus I think he has little chance to win the yellow when the Tour arrives in Paris. And while a VAM of 1600 was enough on the tactical shadow-boxing on Plateau de Beille, it's unlikely he's going to be able to follow a more sustained attack during the back-to-back big stages in the Alpes.
added : Cyclocosm has an excellent comparison of times, which differ slightly from Ferrari's (it depends on if you time the group or the individual riders, since it takes a significant time for the pack to cross the threshold of the climb).

How-To: A Fresh Update on the Lauren Conrad Bun
We all know the real reason for a bun: the on-trend look hides a bad hair day with next to no work. But before you rake your locks into a messy topknot, consider a more-polished version. Vogue calls this smoother rendition—often showcased by stars like Lauren Conrad—a Ballerina Bun. The twisted, higher-than-most knot works as easily for work as it does for a night out. Which is exactly what Two Broke Girls' Beth Behrs wore to last night's TrevorLive charity event in Los Angeles. It turns out, it's really easy to copy.
Hairstylist Aviva Perea says the trick to getting a smooth finish is brushing your locks up section by section and securing with flat clips until you're ready to grab an elastic. "If you try to do it all at once you'll end up with lumps and it's harder to manage," Perea says. Polished, however, doesn't mean boring. Once you have a smooth, high pony, divide the length into two sections to create the twisted texture. "I wrapped the first section around the base of the pony and secured with hair pins, then I did the same with the second section, making sure to shape the knot as I pinned it in place." Perea used a clean mascara wand coated in Alterna's Anti-Humidity Hair Spray ($18) to tame flyaways, then gave all of Behrs' locks a heavy dose for hold.
If you're curious about Behrs' bright lipstick, makeup artist Adam Breuchaud used M.A.C.'s Retro Matte Lipstick ($15) in Dangerous, the shine-free version of celeb-favorite Lady Danger.

Reds hang on after offense's early eruption
CINCINNATI -- Somehow a perfectly smooth rout turned into a gray-hair-inducing, antacid-chomping experience for the Reds on Wednesday night.
Sure, the Reds came out on top with a 10-7 victory over the D-backs for their eighth win in the past 11 games, but a simple box score says little about the journey it took to get there. Cincinnati had an 8-0 lead through four innings only to hang on and escape.View Full Game Coverage
CINCINNATI -- Somehow a perfectly smooth rout turned into a gray-hair-inducing, antacid-chomping experience for the Reds on Wednesday night.
Sure, the Reds came out on top with a 10-7 victory over the D-backs for their eighth win in the past 11 games, but a simple box score says little about the journey it took to get there. Cincinnati had an 8-0 lead through four innings only to hang on and escape.View Full Game Coverage
"Crazy," said third baseman Todd Frazier, who had a clutch RBI single in the eighth inning for insurance. "I get up there and I'm talking to [Wil] Nieves, the catcher. I'm like, 'what a game.' We're laughing at each other. It's humbling. It's weird. It's confusing at times. All in all, you try to win no matter what. You get the 'W' and you're happy at the end."
What made it crazy? Besides the nearly blown lead, the Reds needed Aroldis Chapman to notch his first-ever two-inning save when he took over in the top of the eighth for an injured Jonathan Broxton. Chapman also had to hit for the first time in his career because manager Dusty Baker did not properly double-switch when replacing Broxton. Every Reds starter had a hit among their 15 total. That included Shin-Soo Choo's near-cycle four-hit night and Frazier's hit in the eighth, which came on one of the ugliest swings ever seen.
Choo started the Reds' first inning by lifting a 1-0 pitch from Brandon McCarthy for a fly ball that carried just over the left-field fence. It was Choo's sixth leadoff homer of the season and 11th for his career. Using four-straight two-out hits in the second inning, including Mike Leake's RBI ground-rule double and Choo's two-run single, the Reds upped their lead to 4-0.
Three straight one-out hits in the third inning, including Devin Mesoraco's two-run single, made it a 7-0. Choo doubled and scored on Joey Votto's RBI single in the fourth inning for an eighth run.
Leake retired his first 10 batters until Martin Prado hit a one-out single in the fourth. Arizona made the game interesting with a four-run fifth inning against Leake. Following a pair of one-out singles, pinch-hitter Jason Kubel hit a two-out, two-run single to right field. On the very next pitch, Adam Eaton hit a two-run homer. Leake was finished after six innings with four runs and six hits, no walks and three strikeouts.
"It was a tough one," Leake said. "Being up 8-0 and then ending up being a stressful game, it stinks. But at least we came out ahead."
Arizona added another run in the seventh against Manny Parra and J.J. Hoover, and the ball was given to Broxton for the eighth. Gerardo Parra led off with a drive to left field. Originally ruled a double off of the wall, the play was reviewed on video replay by umpires and ruled a homer.
Things only got hairier for the Reds in the inning. Broxton walked the next batter, Nieves, on four pitches and exited the game with an elbow injury after being looked over by the trainer, pitching coach Bryan Price and Baker. Broxton, who had been unavailable the previous two nights, is likely headed back to the disabled list.
"I didn't feel it until I faced the righty," Broxton said. "I didn't feel it, nothing. The old injury, I didn't feel out there warming up. That first pitch to the righty, I knew something was messed up, but I just tried to get through it. But the best thing was to come out. I know it puts a lot of stress on the bullpen and Chappy."
It also shook up Baker and Price. They summoned for Chapman from the bullpen, but with the pitcher's spot due to bat third in the bottom of the eighth, they did not ask first for a double-switch. Baker then tried to get Ryan Ludwick to play left field but was told by the umpire that it was too late.
"The umpire asked me and Bryan, who did we want? We said we wanted Chapman," Baker explained. "Me and Bryan pointed out to Chapman and we couldn't double-switch after that. I've never been in that circumstance where you have the injured player, and I was sort of distraught by the fact that I had to go get Chapman and the fact that we were going to lose Broxton."
Chapman issued a one-out walk but almost escaped clean on a Matt Davidson grounder to shortstop. Didi Gregorius' slide into Brandon Phillips at second base broke up the double play and forced an errant throw that allowed Nieves to score and make it 8-7.
"Baseball is amazing," Choo said. "I was shaking my head in the field a couple times. They came back with like four runs, a couple runs again, I said, 'No way, no way.' It was an 8-0 game, so I thought, 'Easy game today.' But as soon as they scored, I was like, '[golly].' And then it was 8-7, the D-backs had a charge, so we were on the defensive side."
With a runner on first base, Chapman struck out batting against Brad Ziegler after getting to a full count and got a nice ovation from 23,297 fans at Great American Ball Park. Choo followed with his fourth hit -- a single -- to finish a triple shy of the cycle. Next came Frazier, who was handcuffed by a nasty sidearmed slider from Ziegler and managed to line an RBI single into center field.
Frazier was laughing in disbelief from first base.
"I don't know what I was doing," Frazier said. "It was just confusing. I knew he had a nasty slider. It started like 2 feet behind me. I'm like 'it's going to come back in.' I kind of jumped out of the way. I don't know why my body just does its own thing. I said 'I had to go down with a fight,' just put the barrel on it. Away it went. It was just one of those silly swings. It felt pretty good afterwards."
In a 35-pitch night, one shy of his career-high, Chapman got through a scoreless ninth despite having the potential tying run at the plate. In the end, Cincinnati picked up a game in the National League Central standings and moved to 2 1/2 games behind the first-place Pirates. Arizona dropped to six games behind the Reds for the second NL Wild Card spot.
"That's the epitome of a full moon, it felt like," Baker said. "We were riding easy, 8-0. All of a sudden, it was 8-4. They didn't quit. I don't know if that's what you call a good game or not. A lot of stuff happened."
