A man has lost a half-million-pound compensation fight more than a decade after being seriously hurt when he turned his cycle into the path of a car as an "aggressive" dog rushed at him.
The man - 14 at the time of the incident in 2002 - spent four months in hospital and was left "quite severely disabled", the Court of Appeal heard.
But three appeal judges ruled today that he was not entitled to criminal injuries compensation.
They concluded that even though the owner was guilty of an offence - because the dog was dangerously out of control in a public place - she had not committed a "crime of violence".
Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority (CICA) officials refused to pay compensation on the grounds that the man's injuries were "not directly attributable to a crime of violence", judges heard.
The man mounted a successful challenge at a tribunal and was awarded £499,155 compensation in 2010.
But the Court of Appeal over-ruled the tribunal and concluded that the CICA had been right.
Neither the man nor the dog's owner was identified in a written Court of Appeal ruling.
Judges said proceedings were started against the owner on the grounds that she had breached provisions of the 1991 Dangerous Dogs Act.
But a prosecution was discontinued after she "relinquished ownership" of the dog.
Appeal judges said the man had been hurt in August 2002. He had been riding his bicycle on the pavement of a quiet residential street near his home when the "small dog", which had escaped from its owner's garden, rushed up to him "barking in an aggressive manner".
"(He) instinctively swerved away from the dog on to the road and into the path of a car," said one judge, Lord Justice Moore-Bick. "He was seriously injured. He spent four months in hospital and is now quite severely disabled."
The judge added: "The owner of the dog was well aware that it was aggressive towards strangers (although it had apparently never bitten anyone) and had in the past frightened them by barking at them. She was also aware that it would do its best to escape from the garden where it was normally confined."
Lord Justice Moore-Bick said the man had made a compensation claim to CICA. But he said under a scheme governing compensation for injuries sustained as a result of crime it was necessary for the man to establish that his injuries were "directly attributable to a crime of violence.". And CICA had rejected his claim on the grounds his injuries were not directly attributable to a crime of violence.
The judge said the man challenged the decision at a tribunal. And the tribunal had disagreed with CICA.
"It found that the dog had a history of being aggressive if it escaped and that it had been aggressive," said Lord Justice Moore-Bick. "It considered on a balance of probabilities that the injuries suffered ... were directly attributable to a crime of violence and, after a further hearing to consider the medical evidence ... it awarded him £499,155 by way of compensation."
He said CICA had appealed to the Court of Appeal
Lord Justice Moore-Bick, Lord Justice Tomlinson and Lord Justice McCombe had analysed evidence and a hearing in January - and delivered a ruling today.
"I have no doubt that the ... tribunal was right to find that an offence under the Dangerous Dogs Act 1991 had been committed, " said Lord Justice Moore-Bick. "Whether the offence was properly to be characterised as a crime of violence for these purposes is, however, more difficult."
The judge added: "The critical distinction for these purposes is between the nature of the crime and its consequences. The tribunal did not find, expressly or by implication, that the dog had been deliberately allowed out of the garden; on the contrary, the indications are that the owner was negligent at worst in failing to prevent its escape.
"I find it difficult to accept that negligently to allow a dog to escape, even a dog known to be aggressive, constitutes a crime of violence, giving that expression its ordinary meaning."
He went on: "The fact that the dog was known to be aggressive clearly weighed with ... the (tribunal) but I do not think it is sufficient to enable the offence to be characterised as a crime of violence."
Lord Justice Tomlinson and Lord Justice McCombe agreed.

Regarded by many as the definitive sports SUV, the Range Rover Sport enters the 2013 model year with a number of updates including a new five-spoke wheel design in Sparkle Silver. This will become standard fitment on the Range Rover Sport Supercharged.
Customers opting for this model will discover red Brembo brake calipers fitted as standard as well, with the option of black brakes at no cost.
The interior offers two new trim combinations in order to allow a dark upper cabin environment to be matched with lighter colored seats, or the opposite way around.
A towing package has also been introduced as an option across all models and consists of a tow hitch receiver, trailer towing electrics and variable rear differential lock.
Since 2012, the Range Rover Sport comes equipped with high level audio equipment thanks to the Harmon Kardon system that delivers 380 watts from eleven speakers. Alternatively, the premium Harmon Kardon LOGIC7 system produces 825W from 17 speakers!
There will also be a 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Limited Edition that uses the same 510hp engine as the rest of the range. However, this model gets a red "Sport" badge on the tailgate, red brake calipers and an embroidered red Sport logo appears inside. Customers can also opt for a new carbon veneer interior pack.
For the US market, only 300 units will be produced in Santorini Black, and 200 in Fuji White.
The 2013 Range Rover Sport GT Limited Edition aims for even greater luxury.
Among its features are an extended roof spoiler, chrome exhaust tips, 20" black wheels, steering wheel-mounted shift paddles and the LOGIC7 audio system with SAT and HD radio.
Only 450 will be built in Santorini Black, with an additional 300 units in Fuji White.

2012/2013 School Year
Great News!!! The new federal regulations allow tofu and soy yogurt as a protein component of the meal! Schools, parents, and organizations have been asking for this for years, and finally, due to all the comments the USDA received about it while developing the new school meal regulations, and the fact that plant proteins are acknowledged as a healthy protein choice in the US Dietary Guidelines, tofu and soy yogurt can count as a protein. So, we are developing tofu recipes. We are still seeking legume-based recipes as well. Read on for more information.
The New York Coalition for Healthy School Food (NYCHSF) is a statewide nonprofit that works to improve the health and well-being of New York's students by advocating for healthy plant-based foods, including local and organic where possible, farm to school programs, the elimination of unhealthy competitive foods in all areas of the school (not just the cafeteria), comprehensive nutrition policy, and education to create food and health literate students.
NYCHSF is working to develop PLANT-BASED ENTREES in accordance with the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) School Meals Program policy.
Our current recipes have been released to nearly 25,000 schools nationwide through the Alliance for a Healthier Generation and the California Department of Education.
To introduce and offer plant-based entrées on a regular basis in as many schools as we can, and to share our recipes with others so that they can be used in other schools. Our Cool School Food program is currently in 5 New York City schools and in 9 elementary schools in Ithaca, NY. Eventually, we hope to see a plant-based entrée on the menu of every school, every day, as a healthy option.
Your recipes have a chance of being served in schools across the country. You can make a difference in the life of a child.
Recipes are accepted on a rolling basis. Recipes should be submitted in this format to firstname.lastname@example.com with "Recipe Submission, <name of recipe>, <your name>" in the subject line. Click here to see a sample recipe format. Be sure to include your name, email address, and phone number, and affiliation if relevant, in the recipe document. For more information, contact Amie Hamlin at 607-272-1154 (office) or 631-525-3650 (cell). We look forward to hearing from you!♥

What is BitThief?
BitThief is an ongoing research project of the Distributed Computing Group at ETH Zurich. In this project we study selfish behavior in distributed systems, and in particular in peer-to-peer filesharing systems. The lack of incentives to contribute resources potentially results in a total collapse of a peer-to-peer system, implying that it is essential for a completely decentralized system to incorporate protocols that ensure a fair sharing of resources.
How does it work?
BitThief is a free riding BitTorrent client, that is, it downloads from BitTorrent swarms without contributing any resources itself. As such it proved that the BitTorrent protocol fails to prevent uncooperative behavior as it does not provide any countermeasures against free riding clients. For details, please read our HotNets 2006 research paper.
We argue that the BitTorrent protocol must be modified in order to effectively prevent selfishness. We have designed a tit-for-tat (T4T) protocol that achieves this goal. BitThief clients can use the T4T protocol to fairly exchange data between themselves. For details, please read our P2P 2007 research paper, and our Infocom 2011 research paper.
Where can I get it?
BitThief is freely available. We encourage you to download and use it. As it is a scientific project, we require measurements of the performance of our exploits. For that purpose, the client occasionally transmits data to our webserver. The transmitted data merely contains information about the time required to download files of different size. In particular, only a hash of the info hash is transmitted, which means that it is not feasible to determine what has actually been downloaded. However, we advise you not to download any copyrighted material.
Update: Due to popular request the "call home" functionality has been removed.

Much of the debate over interrogation techniques in the war on terror is focusing on a tactic called waterboarding. But a bill passed last month outlaws the full range of harsh interrogation methods used by the Central Intelligence Agency to force terror suspects to talk.
Supporters say the law is an effort by Congress to bring moral and legal clarity to a murky corner of America's war on terror. Opponents say the bill would forewarn Al Qaeda and help them defeat tactics that US intelligence officers rely on to keep America safe.
A promised veto by President Bush may be imminent. And it does not appear there are enough votes in Congress to override such a veto. But the debate is almost certain to continue as the issue arises in high-profile legal cases.
The intelligence authorization bill, passed by the Senate 51 to 45 last month, includes a provision requiring the CIA to abide by the same interrogation procedures used by the US military and outlined in the Army Field Manual.
The action outlaws the coercive interrogation tactics secretly approved for use by the CIA against Al Qaeda suspects. Those tactics included waterboarding, which triggers a reflexive terrifying sensation of drowning.
The Army Field Manual also outlaws prolonged isolation with sensory deprivation, forced hypothermia, and sleep deprivation, among other controversial tactics.
President Bush and CIA Director Michael Hayden have defended the CIA's interrogation program. Intelligence officers need flexibility in gathering information from terror suspects that might save innocent lives, officials say. And Al Qaeda operatives should not be given advance knowledge of the techniques they may face in the interrogation room.
But there are also broader concerns about such techniques being deemed illegal by Congress. While waterboarding was used against three high-level Al Qaeda suspects, many of the other controversial techniques were routinely used on a much larger group of detainees, according to government reports.
The quality of that gathered information is an issue lurking in the background of several of the highest profile terror cases in the US legal system. Detainees at the Guantánamo terror prison camp are asking the US Supreme Court for an opportunity to challenge the legality of their detention by having federal judges test the veracity of allegations made against them.
The Bush administration is fighting to prevent any examination of the quality of US intelligence information in a court of law. Such an inquiry might, in turn, lead to broader questions about the legality of US interrogation methods.
Similar questions about the quality of information and legality of interrogation techniques are expected to arise at US military commissions that are set to conduct war-crimes trials later this year at Guantánamo.
Supporters of the Army Field Manual approach say information obtained through more benign methods of questioning yield more reliable information. Gen. David Petraeus, commander of US forces in Iraq, made this point in a letter to the troops last year. "Certainly extreme physical action can make someone 'talk;' however, what the individual says may be of questionable value," he wrote.
Army Field Manual proponents say the document is easily understood by young soldiers on a battlefield. In addition, they say it carries the clear moral authority of the golden rule. Soldiers are told that if they have doubts about the legality of a particular interrogation technique they should consider whether it would be legal if used against them when taken prisoner.
General Hayden says the CIA only used waterboarding against "three hardened terrorists," and that it had been "deemed legal by the Department of Justice when it was used." He says intelligence officers were operating under the belief that additional "catastrophic" attacks were imminent and the US had limited knowledge of Al Qaeda.
Hayden says those interrogations were conducted within a strict legal framework subject to review and oversight.
One form of oversight was the videotaping of some of the interrogations. The Justice Department is now investigating the destruction by the CIA of some of those tapes.
In the meantime, some members of Congress are working to force administration officials to say on the record whether waterboarding and other harsh interrogation methods are illegal.
In testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee on Feb. 27, Defense Intelligence Agency Director Lt. Gen. Michael Maples was asked if waterboarding was consistent with human rights protections required under Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. "No, sir, I don't," he said.
"Do you believe it is humane," he was asked.
"No, sir. I think it would go beyond that bound," General Maples said.
In his letter to US troops in Iraq, General Petraeus said: "What sets us apart from our enemies in this fight ... is how we behave. In everything we do, we must observe the standards and values that dictate that we treat noncombatants and detainees with dignity and respect."
He added, "Some may argue that we would be more effective if we sanctioned torture or other expedient methods to obtain information from the enemy. That would be wrong. Beyond the basic fact that such actions are illegal, history shows that they also are frequently neither useful nor necessary."
Hayden, at the CIA, is advocating a different approach. In a written statement last month, he defended the harsh interrogations. The "CIA's terrorist interrogation program, lawful and effective, was born of necessity," he said. "The agency applied its methods of questioning when other techniques did not work and when a captured terrorist had more information that could save innocent lives."
He added that, contrary to allegations of lawlessness, the CIA program had been carefully vetted by administration lawyers. "As befits a Republic of laws, this vital counter-terror initiative rests on a strong legal foundation," he said.
Robert Mueller, director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, testified in a Senate hearing on Wednesday that his agency does not feel hamstrung by its rejection of the harsh methods used by the CIA.
Rather than coercing responses to questions, FBI agents are required to develop a rapport and relationship with interrogation subjects, he said. "Our policy prohibits the use of coercive techniques," Mueller said.
The FBI director said his agents were ordered not to participate in any US government interrogations involving such techniques in the post-9/11 terror investigation. At the same time, he said, reliable information was obtained through rapport-building techniques.

I couldn't resist wearing this River Island drop hem tee despite it being ridiculously creased from being in storage. It's one of my favourite pieces as it has a really unusual dipped hem back that has a sheer triangle cut out back. I don't rate H&M leggings, and these ones are no exception. Too baggy on the knees, they don't fit properly on my hips so slip down and are already fraying at the seams. 100% sticking to my usual American Apparel ones!
Getting back into routine today with working, blogging and life. My room is semi-sorted so I felt a bit more settled to sit down and do stuff again! I should be at events tonight but I'm a bit ill at the moment from stress and just general being run down-ness (plus, that time of year/things going round!)

Hi guys,
Don't really know where to post it, but here it goes.
I'm searching sponsorship for my team in Belgium. As sponsorship is a delicate topic, I don't want to start a plethora of off- topic discussions. Just interested in names of manufactures and/or suppliers who might be interested in sponsoring an overseas cricket team.
So if you're or your friend(s), family are sponsored, please let me know which companies.
For the moment the board and me are working on a kind of business plan so as soon as that's finished I'll address to companies.
At this stage I'm just doing a little market research.
Happy Easter and hope you can help me out.

South African scientists access European research via EMBC agreement
Heidelberg, 5 June 2008 - South African scientists will gain access to the latest thinking in molecular biology research through an agreement announced today by the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). The Government of the Republic of South Africa signed a cooperation agreement with the European Molecular Biology Conference (EMBC), the intergovernmental funding body for EMBO, allowing scientists from South Africa to participate in EMBO programmes and activities. The agreement also provides for some EMBO activities to occur in South Africa.
EMBO recognises and fosters talented scientists, empowering them to advance the field of molecular biology. The cooperation agreement facilitates access for South African scientists to core EMBO programmes, such as EMBO Fellowships, EMBO Courses & Workshops and EMBO Young Investigator Programme.
"Scientists the world over benefit from access to funding, the latest research information and networking with their colleagues," said Hermann Bujard, EMBO Director. "EMBO is delighted to welcome South African scientists to join our networks that foster collaboration and information exchange."
EMBO annually will sponsor one practical course or workshop and one plenary lecture held in South Africa, thus encouraging local participation and awareness. Up to three South African scientists will have the opportunity to network with young European group leaders at EMBO Young Investigator meetings. EMBO Life Sciences Mobility Portal will post targeted information for reciprocal career development and funding opportunities between South Africa and Europe.

For the home: Staycation decorating
Today's $MART cover story is so packed with great Colorado spring staycation ideas, it's a safe bet that even natives haven't been to all of the 30-plus locales listed there.
The story also will get some readers thinking about how few things are more sacred and relaxing than a quiet, unscheduled day or two at home.
For us homebodies, here are ideas for bringing the vacation home via savvy decorating decisions, instead of traveling away from home for a "restful" vacation.
Look for the finest, most tactile fabrics your budget for decorating will allow.
Draw on historic and geographic distinctions. For instance, old newspaper clippings and a child's shoe, which were uncovered during a cabin restoration at Highland Haven, are now artfully displayed in the dining room.

Listening to these tunes will be like playing the game, only without seeing it or controlling anything. You might be jogging. I don't know.
Along with news of the preorder bonus comes word of some of the exclusive game modes coming in the console version of the game. There's a story mode packed with new visuals and animations; a practice mode in order to make perfect; a tutorial mode that teaches newcomers how to fight in a kingly fashion; a challenge mode that tasks players with performing specific actions in specific situations; and of course, online versus.
All that, plus four colorful CDs you can put in that dusty old CD case in your closet after you've finished ripping them to MP3. October can't come soon enough!

Perhaps because Hungarians use the Eastern name order like most of Asia, there is a very healthy local drifting scene. Watch this incredible clip of a recent meet.
With a political class comprised of imbeciles, Communists, thieves and a strong selection of imbecile Communists turned thieves who operate a hungry and comically inept state, Hungary is not exactly a success story in recent years. A refreshing exception to the general malaise is the local drift scene, which has grown by leaps and bounds since its birth around 2005.
Fueled by an abundance of BMW E30's and inspired by AE86-o-philes braving the incompetence and plundering of the local postal and customs services to order specialist components from Japan, drifting happens all over the country. I have written about it before, but if you don't consider a thousand words your friends, I strongly suggest watching this 3'35" video of a recent drift contest, held at the Kakucsring racetrack 30 miles southeast of Budapest. It was edited by whiz kid György Szeljak, whose work has been featured on Jalopnik before, and the only spoken Hungarian words translate to "pool party on Friday," so don't fret about volumes of Moon language.
Apart from that, it's 215 seconds of noise, smoke, ratty Bimmers, suave tsuiso moves and incredible camera angles. Don't miss the Jolly Roger joining the Hungarian flag on a rear wing tacked to the bootlid of an RX-8.

From the video case:
A traveling businessman (Dennis Weaver) is suddenly menaced on the highway by a huge diesel truck. Although he can never see the psychopathic driver of the truck, he soon realizes that this guy is out to kill him! Duel is a classic of the action-suspense genre which helped launch the career of director Steven Spielberg. (1971, color)
Mark says:
After seeing Duel for the first time as a child, I had sore muscles from tensing up so often. Thank God for commercials, or I may have petrified permanently. Viewing the film as an adult, I am still struck by how much suspense Mr. Spielberg conjures with a simple story and sparse dialog.
Duel was originally a 74 minute made-for-TV movie that later, with added footage, became a cinematic film distributed throughout Europe. Spielberg cast Dennis Weaver in the lead role of David Mann after seeing him in the movie, Touch of Evil. Of course, most of us fondly remember Mr. Weaver as Chester from the old Gunsmoke TV series, or as the title character in TV's McCloud.
David Mann is a modern day Everyman. He's bound to his job, trudging through life in a mood of quiet desperation. David is an emasculated figure who, throughout the course of the movie, is taunted by children, berated by his wife, and laughed at by yokels at a truck stop. We get the feeling that he has not had a good day in a long time. The 1970 red Plymouth Valiant that he drives seems to be an extension of his inadequacy. Weaver plays the part superbly, and though we find him more than a little pathetic, we can't help but root for him. After all, he's more like us than we'd care to admit.
The antagonist of the story is a Peterbilt 351 tanker truck. Sure, the truck has a driver (stuntman and character actor, Carey Loftin), but we never get a clear look at him. We see one of his arms, and a glimpse of his boots, but it's the truck itself that seems to be the real entity. It roars and groans and attacks with the fury of a true monster. It also moves with seemingly supernatural speed. Thanks to this movie, I'm still uncomfortable when a truck pulls up behind me while I'm stopped at a railroad crossing.
We never learn the reason for the truck driver's attack on Mr. Mann, nor do we learn of his identity, but ultimately, these things are not important. What is important is that David Mann has come up against a problem he can't ignore, and if he doesn't face it, he will pay with his life. Mann encapsulates a primary theme of the film when he says:
Well, you never know…you just never know. You just go along figuring some things don't change ever, like being able to drive on a public highway without someone trying to murder you. And then one stupid thing happens. Twenty, twenty-five minutes out of your whole life, and all the ropes that kept you hanging in there get cut loose, and it's like, there you are, right back in the jungle again.
This is a theme Spielberg would come back to often: an ordinary man trapped in an extraordinary situation.
You would think a movie about a truck chasing a man down would get dull after awhile, but it never does. Spielberg builds suspense so masterfully, we seldom get a chance to feel bored, or even relaxed. The off the road scenes are just as suspenseful. I especially enjoy the segment at Chuck's Cafe where Mann tries to determine which truck driver is the psychopath trying to kill him. It's filled with such tension that we get the feeling Mr. Mann has gone a tad insane. There's also some wonderful campesque dialog that will surely elicit a smile or two.
The final chase scene is unbelievably tense. I remember yelling at the TV when I was a kid, "Go, go, GO!" Weaver is completely convincing in his panic, and for a few moments we feel he is not going to make it. When he does triumph, we experience his elation and relief with him. We are left with a sense that by conquering this problem, he'll have more control over his everyday life, too. Which, in a strange way, is kind of inspiring.
The "death" of the truck is an unforgettable moment. It's filmed in slow-motion, so every ounce of satisfaction is drawn out of it. This has to be one of my all-time favorite monster death scenes.
While doing internet research on Duel, I was pleased to find that it is held in high regard by both fans and critics alike. As a side note, I wonder what Spielberg could produce today if he was forced to work with the same budget ($375,000) and time constraints (2 weeks).
The screenplay was written by Richard Matheson (The Night Stalker, The Incredible Shrinking Man), and based on his short story of the same name. Matheson states that the story was inspired by a road rage incident that occurred shortly after the JFK assassination.
Duel was Steven Spielberg's feature-length directing debut.
Scene to watch for: Dennis Weaver knocks a sandwich out of the hand of the wrong man.
Line to listen for: "He's got some, some, some souped-up diesel."
Trivia: Spielberg said that the multiple license plates on the front bumper of the truck suggested that the truck driver is a serial killer which "ran down other drivers in other states."
Mark's Rating: ! ! ! ! ! out of 5.

Megan Fox and husband Brian Austin Green have welcomed their second son together, according to reports.
The Transformers actress gave birth to the baby boy earlier this month, according to TooFab.
Gossip site TMZ has since reported it has a copy of the baby's birth certificate, which reveals that he arrived on February 12 and is named Bodhi Ransom Green.
Bodhi is a little brother for the couple's first son, 17-month-old Noah.
Former Beverly Hills 90210 star Brian also has an 11-year-old son, Kassius, from a previous relationship with actress Vanessa Marcil.
Megan, 27, and Brian, 40, tied the knot in 2010.

PCP (Personal Contract Purchase) a simple cost effective way to buy your new or nearly new
You choose the car, the deposit, how long you want the contract to run for and the mileage you intend to do. You will then receive a quote for fixed cost motoring for the length of the contract. At the end of the contract you have a choice to either buy the car outright for an agreed lump sum (the GFV or final balloon payment), or hand the vehicle back to the lender.
Hire Purchase allows you to take ownership of a car once all payments are made.
This is one of the most popular methods to buy a new vehicle. You pay an initial deposit, then pay off the balance in monthly payments over an agreed period of time, when the payments are complete the car is yours.
One of the main benefits with Hire Purchase is the ability to buy a high value vehicle on
monthly payments.
Hire Purchase allows you to tailor your finance package as deposit, length of time and monthly payments are all flexible.
Personal contract hire is very similar to normal contract hire, but is exclusively for
private individuals. This
is one of the most common form of leasing.
With a personal contract hire agreement you take control of a car for a contractual period - usually referred to as the 'lease period'. You will make fixed monthly payments for the duration of the contract - when the contract expires you will simply return the car and take out a new personal contract hire lease. PCH means you never have to worry about resale values of your car.

Kurt Busch's spectacular wreck at Talladega left drivers ticked off at NASCAR
Kurt Busch, for the first time in his life, went airborne Sunday at Talladega. Near the end of the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at the famed track, he got clipped, then flipped the No. 78 car of Denver's Furniture Row Racing, eventually spinning and landing on top of another car.
It was a spectacular wreck and it ruined what was shaping up to be a winnable race for Busch.
"I'm ok but mad that (we were) robbed of a good finish (we) deserved," Busch said on Twitter.
Busch was fourth with five laps remaining and he had the inside track in the second row with drivers three-wide entering a turn. But rookie Ricky Stenhouse tried to pass JJ Yeley on the outside, bumping Yeley all the way back through traffic, where he hit Busch at the back right rear tire.
"We just got hit from behind, and along for the ride we went," Busch said.

This month we asked our writers to revisit their most indelible memories of 2012.
* * *
Tornadoes ripped through Alabama the week before the Senior Bowl, bringing severe storms and meteorological chaos in their wake.
Torrential rains arrived in force during those four days of scouting gluttony among the mossy willows of Mobile, but the top quarterback prospects stayed home. Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin, already the heartthrobs, had transcended the post-season all-star process. Ryan Tannehill was injured. The available quarterbacks were B-list, and the receiving pool was thin, but the defenses were brimming with marquee talent: Melvin Ingram, Quinton Coples, Janoris Jenkins and a host of other enforcers.
Mix the talent disparity with the dangerous weather, and it was more common to hear the tornado siren echoing down Government Street than to see a crisp pass. It was a bad week for scouting quarterbacks.
Yet one guy stood out. He was short, but there was nothing frail about him. He could run, but he kept his eyes downfield. His passes didn't whistle, but they cut through the stiff wind. Russell Wilson did not look great, but he looked good.
To really see Russell Wilson, though, you had to listen. Other players gushed about him. Receivers singled him out. He was a forceful presence in meetings and the huddle. Over the course of a week of practices on the concrete floors of convention halls and wind sprints to the team bus one step ahead of the storm siren, Wilson established himself as a leader. Not a sportswriter patois "kid is special" boilerplate leader, but a young man other young men instinctively looked up to, one they respected and admired after just a few tumultuous days.
In a two-quarterback race, Wilson began to emerge as the third wheel.
* * *
Luck and Griffin were the belles of the NFL Scouting Combine debutante ball. They were heartthrobs like Paul McCartney and John Lennon arriving in America. Their back-to-back press conferences on a dreary February afternoon in Indianapolis played like the Lincoln-Douglass debates. Both were prepared, confident, charismatic. Each introduced himself to the football world while standing, literally and figuratively, in Peyton Manning's shadow: A Manning mural covered a support beam just a few feet from the speaking rostrum, and Manning's health and contract status loomed large over every quarterback situation in the NFL. The heartthrobs were unaffected by the pressure. They were humble, witty, composed, earnest.
The press pool was smitten. So were Colts owner Jim Irsay and Redskins owner Dan Snyder. A few weeks later, Irsay bid Peyton Manning a tearful goodbye and told him to start seeing other people. Snyder made a mixtape of future first-round picks and sent it to the Rams to prove how much Griffin meant to him. Irsay and Luck paired off, Snyder hardly felt he was settling for second best with Griffin, and the pre-draft quarterback debate was suddenly bereft of intrigue.
Tannehill also emerged at the combine. His interview was impressive, and his foot would heal enough for workouts in a few weeks. Tannehill became extra buzzy when Luck-to-Colts and Griffin-to-Redskins became foregone conclusions. Every draft needs a mystery quarterback.
Wilson had a quiet combine. He ran a 4.55-second forty. He measured 5-foot-11. He threw spirals in shorts. Wilson was fast, but the draft had a designated "fast" quarterback in Tannehill. (Griffin was fast too, of course, but the heartthrobs were their own category.) Wilson was short and plucky, but the draft had a designated "short/plucky" quarterback in Kellen Moore. Wilson played minor-league baseball and bounced between college programs, but the draft already had a designated knock-around prospect in Brandon Weeden. Wilson did not fit the archetypes. I don't even remember Wilson's press conference; unlike Luck and Griffin's showstoppers, it took place during the chaos when two or three prospects spoke simultaneously on different rostrums. Wilson was low priority.
We learned later that he was blowing away the private interviews, prompting arguments in scouting departments about whether he would last into the middle rounds. Wilson's merits were a closely guarded secret for many teams as they slid him up their draft boards.
Wilson remained a trade secret during a long winter and spring of coronation festivities for the heartthrobs. Televised pro-day workouts showcased Luck and Griffin as they completed passes in empty practice facilities, wearing compression shirts and gym shorts. Scouting services and blogs breathlessly reported their completion rates, as if lobbing a fade to an uncovered Kendall Wright in a Waco gym was a feat worthy of statistical analysis. Tannehill got his chance to demonstrate his health and athleticism in late March, while NFL teams paired off with the available free agents: Manning to the Broncos, Matt Flynn to the Seahawks, nobody with a better option to the Dolphins.
Wilson's workout at Wisconsin was not televised. Russ Lande, one of the best draftniks in the business, filed a report for Sporting News. Lande wrote that Wilson was "impressive," but he did not get to Wilson until the eighth paragraph of a 10-paragraph article, after center Peter Konz, guard Kevin Zeitler and receiver Nick Toon.
That sort of thing just did not happen to Luck or Griffin.
Lande praised Wilson's arm, and he confirmed what the kids said at the Senior Bowl and the coaches whispered behind closed doors at the combine. "A source who attended the workout said Wisconsin coaches considered Wilson the best leader to come through the program in many years."
If only leadership made him three inches taller.
* * *
The NFL draft is prom night. The top prospects dress fashion forward. Roger Goodell is a proud papa, all warm hugs and photo smiles. Luck and Griffin were ready for their close-ups. Tannehill followed them onto the prime-time telecast. Weeden had his star turn late on Thursday evening, Arizona State quarterback Brock Osweiler during the second round on Friday. Osweiler? Gawky fellow with a live arm; the prospect you choose when you cannot choose a prospect.
Wilson left the draft board with minor fanfare late Friday, in the third round, when the bulk of the press pool had evacuated Radio City Music Hall and all but the hardest-core draftophiles had stopped watching. He joined the Seahawks, who had just signed Flynn. Wilson looked nothing like a third wheel. He was a developmental prospect, a non-story.
It was only in Seahawks rookie camp, then training camp, that the words and whispers about Wilson's intangibles became shouts. Wilson won over his Seahawks coaches and teammates the way he won over Senior Bowl coaches and teammates. He out-hustled Flynn. He made Pete Carroll forget about height. He joined Luck, Griffin, Tannehill and Weeden as an opening-day starter.
Luck and Griffin were just as magical as expected. Tannehill was nondescript, Weeden disappointing. Wilson was breathtaking: Houdini scrambles and feisty comebacks, daring bombs from the pocket and creative tosses on the run. By December, there were three rookie quarterbacks in the playoff picture, three rookie quarterbacks worth talking about, but we were all talked out about two of them. The third wheel began squeaking, leading the Seahawks to thundering blowout victories. The two-man battle for the hearts of football fans had an unexpected third-party candidate.
Wilson is still 5-foot-11. His height is not irrelevant, and like Griffin and Luck, he still has to develop and round out his game. Wilson is no sure thing, no guaranteed franchise quarterback for the next decade, though no one really is, not even the heartthrobs.
But then you realize that Luck cost the Colts the first pick in the draft, and the chance to saddle up a few more times with Manning. Griffin cost the Redskins a briefcase full of future draft picks. The Seahawks got Wilson for loose change. They drafted two impact defenders before him (Bruce Irvin and Bobby Wagner). They put themselves in position to reach the Super Bowl before the Colts and Redskins are finished building their rosters to championship level, which means that Wilson could beat the heartthrobs to the Super Bowl. The third wheel could cross the finish line first.
Sometimes it pays to look past the dazzle, and to listen. Wilson's name was in the air last January. In retrospect, it should have been easy to find an overlooked, available heartthrob. All it took was the ability to filter out all the other noise.

Grand Cayman is one of the smaller Caribbean holiday islands, which nevertheless manages to offer a wealth of thrilling adventures for holidaymakers. In order to make your time your own so far as possible and take advantage of these opportunities in full, you may want to consider renting private accommodation on the island. Properties available for rental can be in the form of small to medium condos, or larger villas, depending upon your requirements and budget. This not only allows you to make the most of what is likely to be a busy holiday schedule, it may very well save you money at the same time.
There are beautiful beaches to be found all around Grand Cayman but Seven Mile Beach, which forms much of the West Coast, represents one of the most stunning, white sand beaches to be found anywhere in the world. Choosing to rent a condo on this part of the island will also put you right in the heart of island activity. Sunbathing and swimming are supplemented by opportunities for windsurfing, diving, sailing, taking an underwater trip in a submarine, or even going fishing for one of the Caribbean's exotic species of fish, so different from what you would catch at home.
There is so much to see and do on Grand Cayman that taking one or more of the available tours is an excellent idea. The western half of the island is the busiest and most popular by far but there is much to see and do elsewhere. Trips by road are available around the island but walking or hiking tours along the historic trails, taking in natural remnants of the island's interior, are a first class way of seeing a side of the island which many visitors miss.
The names associated with the golf courses on Grand Cayman will speak volumes to all lovers of the sport. The Britannia Golf Club was designed by Jack Nicklaus and based on top UK golf courses, while the Blue Tip was likewise designed by Greg Norman. The Links at Safehaven and the North Sound - close to Seven Mile Beach - are of equal quality and appeal.
The restaurants of Grand Cayman are as varied as the available activities. While the western half of the island offers everything from multi-national fast food chains to top of the range fine dining, the rural east of the island may be the place to go to sample some of the very best local and traditional cuisine. The bars and clubs on the island offer the opportunity to enjoy live musical performances of many types, from local calypso or reggae, to rock or folk. The lively nightclubs also allow you to party and dance, well in to the small hours of the morning.

That said, let's get to the point, MySQL Installer! If you read this blog, you know I have copmplained about this puppy several times before (First attempts with MySQL Installer and MySQL Installer part 2), and I have been in touch with the good developers at MySQL / Sun / Oracle / Google (no wait, that last one wasn't right. At least not yet) and for all intents and purposes, they are doing their best (I already knew that) and are listening to us.
So now MySQL Installer is GA. Is it any better than when I complained last time? It sure is!
Now it does what it was set out to do, it does install most of what you need as a MySQL Developer on Windows, it installs the MySQL Server, the Workbench and the drivers. This time around, I removed all Windows products first and then did a clean install, but some old settings still seemed to be around. This could be annoying potentiually, but the machine I was testing really has had a lot of testing on it, so it might be that this is in a weird state. Also, this might be what you want to do. Before doing a clean install, I tried an Upgrade. I had MySQL 5.5.14 on my box, and the installer came with MySQL 5.5.15, so I figured it would offer mne to upgrade if I choose Add/Modify Products and Features. On the other hand, after a clean install, if I choose Add/Modify Products and Features again, the installer insist that there are "changes pending" to the MySQL .NET Connector. If I execute that it executes OK, but the Installer still insist that there are "changes pending" to Connector/.NET.
This may sound like a lot of complaints, but it really is not that bad. If I was a Windows developer coming new to MySQL, this is not a bad starting point at all. But if I was Oracle (which I am not), I'd add a few things:
- Links - I'd offer in the installer too add a few links to useful places on the net for MySQL stuff. This includes Planet MySQL, MySQL Forge, dev.mysql.com, www.mysql.com, the Bug database (how active that is these days I don't know either).
- Third party software - There is some third party software that could be interesting to include, such as drivers (PHP etc), tools, plugins etc. There is a whole bunch of these available, and if I was new to MySQL, I would have a hard time selecting which to include and what to do with them. I understand the licensing issues here, but as this is the Community edition of MySQL, that shouldn't be too difficult.
- Tips and tricks - How do you do this or that? What questions might a Windows developer have when approaching MySQL for the first time.
- Integration - I would really like to see more integration here, with Visual Studio and with many other Windows developer tools. I admit that this might be there, but that the integration is hidden from me as I don't have those tools.
For reference, I used 1.0.17 of MySQL Installer, something which is not that easy to find out, as the download page states that this is version 5.5.15 (which is the MySQL Server version). The installer itself doesn't say what version it is, at least not as far as I can find out. It does say in the VERSION resource of the MySQLInstaller.exe file though, so looking at properties with Windows Explorer reveals the version.

CARPENTERSVILLE – A Crystal Lake man will receive $50,000 in the settlement of a lawsuit against Carpentersville and its police department.
Johny Perez, 21, sued in August, alleging he was punched in the face by an officer and mistreated because of his race during a traffic stop in March 2011. Neither the village nor officer Alan Webb admitted any liability under the terms of the settlement.
Perez's attorney, Jeannie Ridings, said her client feels the sum was sufficient for the damage he suffered.
"[It supports] his claim that he was doing nothing wrong when he was beaten by Officer Alan Webb," Ridings said.
She said Perez hoped the department would institute additional policies about use of force, but he has not pressed the issue. "He is gratified that the matter was made public, and hopes that it does not ever happen again to anyone else," she said.
Perez, a U.S. citizen who speaks Spanish and English, was pulled over that day by Carpentersville police for driving 5 mph over the posted speed limit, the lawsuit states. He was asked to step out of the vehicle to read the speed limit sign and then return to the car before Webb and several other officers arrived.
According to the lawsuit, Webb asked Perez to again exit his vehicle and he was shoved in the chest. Webb punched him twice in the face, kneed him and struck him in the back of the head. Other officers held Perez while the attack occurred, the lawsuit states.
The officers also shouted racial slurs and verbally threatened Perez, it says.
Perez suffered bruises on his face and body and was later treated at Centegra Hospital – McHenry, which led to $3,000 in medical bills, according to the lawsuit.
Perez was arrested and charged with misdemeanor resisting a peace officer and aggravated battery, but the charges ultimately were dropped.
The lawsuit also cited the village's 2007 nonbinding resolution to make English its official language, saying it gives police a license to discriminate against Spanish-speaking people.

Uhhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggg. That's a real word up, there, by the way. Mmm-hmm. Look it up, if the mood strikes. And the definition of the word? Well, it's an adjective, used to describe how all of America feels right now, this week, this moment in time between Christmas and New Year's.
Draw it out. Let it rumble around your throat. If you're making an aggrieved, angry, gurgling sound when you pronounce it, you're pronouncing it wrong. It's more like a 'resigned to it' sound. Like this: Uhhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggg. See what I mean?
This feeling occurs right now, and it also rears it's uhhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggg-ly head during the last week in August, right before Labor Day. It's when America just got done overdoing it a little bit and could use a breather.
And so a breather is taken. Many families use the last weekend in August for vacation, and many Americans take a second week of time off right now.
As a result, most workplaces in America are breaking the laws of physics and having negative employees show up for work this week. Are you, dear reader, currently at work? Look around the office. See anyone else? Yeah. I know. Me neither.
Use it or lose it, right? That's the preferred model of doling out vacation time for us worker bees. And since we're days away from losing it, may as well use it.
Are you using it? I'm using it.
Uhhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggg. Listen: Can't we decide, as a nation, that enough is enough? Can't we be just a little more like Europe in regards to time off from work? Can't we just smarten up and pretty much cancel the this week and the last week in August? Doesn't that make more sense?
I know, I know, you're thinking I'm just a lazy bum looking for some cheap time off, but I swear: I'm just a lazy bum who is looking to create a better America. Nothing is getting done this week. Nothing. Just like nothing gets done in that last week of August. So why are we bothering?
I mean, I'm all for the Puritan work ethic (OK fine, no I'm not) but really, what's the point? In fact, I'd even bet we'd get the same amount of work done, as a whole, over 50 weeks than we would over 52.
Dig it: According to a survey done by Regus, a 'provider of flexible workplaces' (whatever that means) only 64 percent of American workers are working this week, and of that number, only 39 percent of people will actually 'do' anything while at work.
To be clear then: Nothing is getting done this week. Nothing.
It's high time we stood up, let out a big uhhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggg, and demand the last week in August and the last week in December be turned into something other than what they currently are. No one is doing anything. Why do we have to pretend? Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go take a nap. Uhhhhhhhhhrrrrrgggg

* Added 12/06/12 - Once you have booked your tickets you will see an 'Order placed' page, this will be followed by a email confirmation of your order. There will be a delay before your confirmation email arrives, at busy times it could take up to an hour for order confirmations to arrive. To help make the system stable at busy times we are regulating the speed orders are processed to 1 order every 4 seconds, this means your seats are safely held in our ticket system until the email confirmation is sent. We would recommend that you only contact the Box Office if you have not received your email confirmation after 3 hours.*
We would like to thank everyone who got involved in the recent Golden Ticket Hunt. We really appreciate the time everyone took to come to the website and give us feedback. Over 900 people participated and we received nearly 300 comments on our blog - and countless tweets - allowing us to test how the system reacted to real users, buying tickets in real time. Some Friends of Covent Garden experienced and reported errors so we have been working through the feedback over the last week to reproduce and fix as many of these as possible.
We have been working closely with our developers POP and with Amazon who are providing our cloud (hosting) services. They have worked through the weekend to make sure as much as possible can be done to give as many people as possible a stable booking experience. I have mentioned before that our website is unique; the nature of our historic auditorium presents lots of challenges, which prevents us from simply taking an online booking solution off the shelf. So we have built a bespoke solution and although this comes with its own risks, it does mean we can constantly develop and improve the website for our customers.
As with anything new, it takes a while to get used to a new booking system, so we would like to share a few tips to help you through the process.
If you are coming to buy tickets, whether as a Friend of Covent Garden or a member of the public, it's always a good idea to sign in first. If the website knows who you are, it can show you the right information. Once signed in, you can manage your account by selecting your name at the top of the page.
When booking tickets I would advise against using more than one internet browser to purchase or hold tickets, this does not give you an advantage and may even prevent your order going through.
When you are selecting your seats you can choose as many tickets as your ticket limit allows. Select all the tickets you want before you use the 'Add to basket' button. Following your feedback we have added some text to the page to make this clearer. We have also adjusted the colours slightly on the price plan, based on the feedback we received.
Once you have tickets in your shopping basket you can proceed to checkout or continue shopping. You can select any of the options at the top of the page without losing your tickets. We hold your tickets in the shopping basket for 30 minutes, and you can get back to your shopping basket by selecting 'shopping basket' at the top of any page.
Once you are in the checkout you can see where you are in the booking process. On the delivery page you can choose to collect your tickets from the Box Office if you wish by selecting 'edit delivery address'.
We hope that all goes smoothly on the Booking Days, and thank you for your support for the Royal Opera House. Please leave any comments about your experience of the booking process on this blog.

text: When I checked the news today, the horrific picture– selected by Time as a front-cover–of Aisha's face, an 18-year-old Afghan woman whom was sentenced by the Taliban to have her nose and ears cut off for fleeing her abusive in-laws greeted me. International newspapers reported the news and the picture is now one of those icons of Afghanistan, which, interestingly enough, are often released in an apparent attempt to provide an ethical dimension to a war (particularly after Wikileaks leaked the massive documentation on the Afghan war) which is increasingly difficult to justify. Indeed, I am sure that many will remember the National Geographic split cover image that contained two photos of Sharbat Gula, the first having been taken at the time of the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and the second at the end of the Taliban regime. While in the first picture she is a beautiful young girl with intense green eyes and her hair gently covered by a burgundy scarf, in the second she lifts the oppressive burqa to reveal a hardship-worn face that has been marked, as the article explains, by life under the Taliban.
