"8 Mb total free space? No, you have 4 Mb free. Ha!"
Don't you mean:
"What do you mean you are running out of space?... *tap tap tap* You have NOTHING in your home directory! Not even in the *tap tap tap* backups."
"Google will make a final offer of its RAND license terms... without prejudice to any right to recover damages for past unlicensed use... before seeking injunctive relief for infringement of the acquired… patents"
That certainly seems reasonable to me.
Assuming Moto have attempted to license the patents under reasonable terms but these have been rejected by the other party, Google are saying they'll give them another chance before seeking an injunction, although they'll reserve the right to sue for past, unlicensed use.
But this is where the line gets blurry: What is reasonable to one may not be to another.
Don't tell me they don't even salt the hash?!
It could be salted using some info on the Secure Element, thus allowing the PIN to be maganed by droid, or some such. I can't see how this could be so easily cracked unless they are either not salting or they are using an easy-to-find salt.
has been thinking this for a long time. Finally someone has told the govt about it.
All govts these days seem more interested in being seen to be doing something, rather than making good descisions. This is where something like the House of Lords should step in, but they just allow the govt to push through their knee jerk reactions to the latest headlines.
"All you are saying is that some firms, e.g. Apple, are better at producing a better, more useable version of existing technology or ideas. That seems to me to be praiseworthy"
I completely agree. Apple are VERY good at repackaging an existing product into a more usable product. I will never take that away from them, they are brilliant at it.
However, IMHO, that is all they are good at. I do not believe they have ever invented anything on their own, and therefore do not believe they have any patents which could not reasonably be covered by prior art (I am happy for people to correct me if I am wrong).
Everything I have seen from them has been done before, and they have improved it and slapped patents on it.
Android support is likely to be very difficult. From what I've seen, the architecture of Android dcoesn't lend itself to changing hardware very well. Although the undelying Linux system may support them, many parts including interfaces to the display & audio are hard-coded for their particular hardware.
People may correct me if I am wrong, I'm certainly no expert on this.
I think the better way would be to find out what it'd natural predator is, and introduce that to the areas.
Then, when they go out of control, find THEIR natural predator and introduce them.
And then... OK, maybe not such a good plan, a la "She swallowed the spider to catch the fly".
"But they'll be dead soon anyway. Fucking kangaroos."
Why, do kangaroos carry deadly STDs?
Or is it just that kangaroo love is so common in Aus?
If one country sees another fire a nuke, they won't hang around to see where it's target is, they'll immediately assume the worst.
"I and most people are well aware of the lack of sense of humor homeland security / immigration / customs have while entering (or leaving) the USA. the golden rule is if your planing on going in holiday to the USA or any other country for that matter, make sure you are well aware of what is likely to piss the government or the populous off and avoid it... unless your intention is to piss them off."
Not just the USA. A mate at Uni went to Aus with a group in his year out. One of the lads in the group, when asked if he had a criminal record, reponded with "I didn't know you still needed one to get in".
Always going to be a mistake, and rather an uncomfortable one (latex gloves went on pretty quickly).
Only 2 thoughts here.
1, these "kids" were a little misguided (i.e. completely stupid) to make these comments in a public forum. Do they not remember the guy who tweeted about blowing up the airport?
2, the security services of all countries need to take a chill pill. The comments were obviously a bad taste joke, maybe double checking them and questioning them quickly to make sure is OK, but deporting them?
To be fair, I think this just reflects what I have believed for a while: average intelligence of the world's human population is going down hill.
No longer happenning on my Giffgaff connection.
"penalties of up to €1 million or up to 2% of the global annual turnover of a company"
Is this whichever is lower or whichever is higher?
I would assume the first, but it is not made clear in the article (and I don't have time to look it up myself).
In addition, I agree with the comment about "a right to be heard". Credit referrence agencies can be terrible, as can the people processing that data (when you apply for a loan, it is the bank etc. who decide whether to approve you, not the agency who suppilies the data). If you have withheld payment for a legitimate reason, you can end up with a mark on your credit history, and there's nothing you can really do to get it removed (quickly) unless the company agrees, and banks are less than sympathetic to such issues.
from my Giffgaff connection and makes no difference.
If they can't meet, either the industry dies or things carry one as they are.
At the end of the day, they make enough money as things stand (forget this bull about them loosing so much, the films still make millions in profit) and the industry CAN continue with the status quo. This is likely why they are pushing for legislation like this: If it is true that many wouldn't go and buy their products even if they weren't available illegitimately, which I think they accept (if not publicly) then they loose nothing and protect their out dated business model.
3rd paragraph:
"They are able to download a torrent of a file, for example"
should have been
"They are able to download a torrent of a FILM, for example"
Totally agree that there needs to be discussion, debate and compromise to solve this issue. The problem is neither side wish to do so/
The way I see it, the media industries shot themselves in the foot a long time ago and have been struggling to stop the hemorrhage since. They failed to keep up with technology, so people stepped into the gap and provided the services people wanted: the only problem was, without the media industries backing, it was piracy, and the media industry made no money from it.
There is now a generation where a large proportion have become used to getting any media they want almost instantly, and available to watch on any device they wish. The fact it is free is incidental. They are able to download a torrent of a file, for example, on the day of release (and sometimes earlier) and, a short while later, watch it. They can then play it on their phone, their PC, their TV... any device they want, for as long as they want, in as good quality as they would get if they had gone to the shop and bought the DVD/BluRay. There are no restrictions on operating systems or number of devices they can play it on. There are no trailers or adverts about "copyright theft". In short it is convenient and simple.
Having "forced" a big chunk of this generation into such distribution methods, the industry needs to come up with something which is at least as good in order to convert them, as they will not pay for a service of a lower standard than they are used to receiving for free. They also need to price it sensibly, so they are encouraged to use it. And they need to make ALL content available, as with only a limitted amount, why should they switch?
This is a better method than enforcement (at the moment). There will still be some die-hard "freetards" (hate the term, but it's the best term available) who will not switch, but with a reasonable, legal alternative most will. At this point, it will be easier (and less unpopular) to target enforcement action at those who have not switched (if there are enough of them to be worth it by then).
To sum it all up, the media industry (IMHO) need to "win the hearts and minds" of the public (mainly the tech public) with a GOOD QUALITY, GOOD VALUE service before they wage war on the illegitimate sources of media. Instead, they choose to offer services of a lower standard than those availble elsewhere and shut down the places offering what their customers want.
Then they are surprised when their customers fight back.
Instead of fighting the tech, they should be engaging them to find out what they want, and providing it.
Note: I am not saying the "pirates" are in the right, just that the media industry are, IMO, doing things in the wrong way. So are the tech industry.
"It will be interesting to see how this works out though. F1 is such a commercially-dependent sport and I wonder how the reduced viewing figures will impact the teams' ability to attract sponsorship."
I wouldn't be surprised to see it end up the same way Premiership football has: so dependant on TV fees that it becomes their bitch.
"It'll be a streaming site for me, or friends/pubs with Sky."
I reckon you'll be lucky to find a pub showing the F1.
F1 races are on Sundays, normally in the afternoon. Guess which more popular sport is also shown on Sunday afternoons on Sky?
There was one pub I went to which showed F1, a biker bar which has sadly shut down, but that was because it was FTA (they didn't have Sky).
Though I big F1 fan, I had already told the missus-to-be that I would not be paying extra for F1: I already hate paying for Sky, even on the basic (HD) package, and will not pay extra. She blames me for getting her into F1.
Luckily, I have been reliably informed that the F1 channel will be free if you have either Sports or HD packages, so I should get it for no extra.
If not, I can get my motorsport fix elsewhere: MotoGP anyone?
"you're assuming that the plants we have can cope with the amount of polution humanity is creating"
I know CO2 is not the only pollutant we are creating, but it is the most talked about, and plants like higher CO2 concentrations (in general).
Therefore by putting out CO2 we are probably helping the plants which will, eventually, remove it from the atmosphere and restore balance.
This doesn't stop your point about "hacking away at the plants" being true.
Ive wondered before why a "smartphone" needs to contain all the gubbins it does. My own idea was a "dumb" phone which does phone calls and text messages only, in a tiny package, then a "smart" termial, which can do all the cool stuff and uses the dumb phone for connectivity. This goes much further... I like it, I want it :)
I'm pretty sure that, even in our company (a semiconductor manufacturer), it's a serious disciplinary offence. For a cop... Blimey, I wouldn't be surprised if he could be prosecuted for it!
I always mix them up...
I have always disabled ABP etc on the Register to support them.
These ads have become so disruptive I'm not going to bother any more. ABP back on.
Take note: Readers are often more than happy to have ads, not so happy when they make a chunk of the article slide off their screen a few seconds into reading!
Dell Streak 5-incher seems just about pocketable
OK, I put my hands up, I was wrong. I had never heard of Jury Nullification. In fact, when I was on a jury, the court's directions seemed to go completely against that, even if only by implication, which is where my viewpoint comes from.
It seems to me that this is not very well known and would probably have more impact if jurors knew of it. As far as I was concerned, I was there to evaluate the evidence under the law (although it would have made no difference in that case).
Thanks for the correction and education :)
"What the courts say is one thing, but *juries* have awarded copyright holders enormous sums for damages. Is there any reason to think that those juries were more representative of the American public than the sample in this survey?"
Disclaimer: IANAL
AFAIK the damages are not assigned by a jury, but by the judge. The jury only decides guilty/not guilty of each charge.
Even if it is the jury who award the damages, they will be directed in what they are allowed to do by the judge. Many may feel the damages are disproportionate, but a jury is not allowed to flout the law: If they find the defendant guilty of x, they must award damages of y. I have been on a jury, and their remit is severely limitted.
Similarly if it is a judge who makes the descision, the both he and the jury are constrained by the law. If the case is proven that someone is guilty, the jury must find them guilty. They cannot use their sympathies to decide that, althopugh they committed a crime, they should be let off. The judge must then use this verdict to determine the punishment within the constraints of the law. There may be a small amount of wiggle room allowed in the legal framework, but things must remain within that framework.
"The only thing I find confusing is the scoring, which even the show's host doesn't seem to understand."
The scores don't matter. Simples.
"instead of just thinking about STEM, we should add the Arts so it becomes STEAM."
Sounds like a load of hot air to me
"Well, chaps, here's an idea. Why not choose a representative sample of 2,000 broadband users, grant them immunity for a couple of months, and do a silent double-blind test? Perhaps with some of the sample you could experiment with new ideas. The ISP knows exactly what's going on, so speculating on speculation should become superfluous."
This research would have to be conducted by (or with the express consent of) the industry (music/film/software producers working together) to allow them to offer immunity. However, these are the exact same people who do not want this research conducted: they want to be able to maintain their archaic business models, and this research would likely (IMHO) force them into doing something new.
"The Yard added that a single piece of copper cable nicked from an underground telephone network could knock out the landlines to more than 200 homes and businesses for up to three days at a time."
Doesn't sound like a well designed infrastructure to me... ah, wait, it's BT, I get it.
"Law based on actually studying a case properly rather than give in blindly to lobby groups!"
I know, it's incredible!
AFAIK, Amazon was happily selling eBooks (along with several others) as they do real books: i.e. buy the book from the publisher, sell it, with a negotiated wholesale price paid to the publisher, and then Amazon free to set their price (subject to competition).
That's where Apple came along to demand a chunk of the pie. They didn't want anyone selling for less than them, so they and the publishers forced a different model. In effect, it means the publisher is selling the book to the consumer, and gives a cut to the retailer. It amounts to price fixing, and is the reason many Kindle books now say "This price was set by the publisher"
Note: the above is what I understand from the articles I have read. There may be inaccuracies, but I believe the overall story is correct.
"It is as much a legal requirement to have a TV licence if you own and operate a TV in the UK as it is to tax a car if you keep it on the road."
It is not a requirement to have a license if you own and operate a TV in the UK. It is a requirement to have a TV license if you receive broadcast TV content. It is perfectly legal to own equipment capable of receiving TV broadcasts without a TV license IF you don't recieve them (e.g. have no aerial connected, detune the TV etc.), no matter what they try to tell you. The license ppl can get quite threatenning. I have a friend who did this. They needed to save money, so cancelled the TVL, detuned the TVs, diconnected the aerials, and stopped watching TV (watched DVDs etc when they wanted to). The TVL sent someone round, she invited them in and showed them that she could not get broadcast TV in the house. Initially they claimed "you could just plug back up and retune the equipment", but this doesn't hold water. They went away with tails between legs, and a year or so later, when my friend had the money to do so, the license started being paid again.
...that would rule out all heterosexual intercourse.
All women are crazy!
Joking of course... or am I?
"No one is going to pay an iPad price for anything other than an iPad."
I will add one word... "Yet".
When Android phone's first appeared, nobody was going to pay iPhone prices for them, because they could get an iPhone for that. Therefore lower priced Android phones appeared, allowing Android to make a big push into the market.
Now many are prepared to pay MORE for an Android phone than and iPhone.
This is what needs to happen with tablets. Devices like the Fire need releasing to allow the Android Tablet to make a big push into the market. Once this happens, people will be more likely to look at higher-priced models.
"It's interesting to note the difference between CERN's handling of some odd results, and CRU and, well, any data at all."
I must agree.
CERN's handling of it's "faster than light" findings has been an example to all scientists. Publishing all the data involved, including the method used to collect and analyse that data, allows the whole scientific community to analyse it and find any possible errors. This is a very important step in something which affects a fundamental law of physics...
...or something which may have massive impact upon the entire human population, as climate scientists claim will happen with climate change.
I am not saying one way or the other whether man-made climate change is correct. All I am saying is that when something is as important as this, CERN's method is the correct one, not CRU's.
"In an attempt to avoid inaccuracy, I suggest simply inventing new, short words instead."
We could call it "Newspeak".
This is a true comment, however your T&Cs will state that the account holder is responsible for use of the account. Now, while this shouldn't stand up in court for other actions, it does mean that the ISP can justifiably disconnect you for breaching your T&Cs.
Also, I believe that the action would be a civil prosecution, which does not carry the same burden of proof as criminal proceedings. Merely presenting that it is your account would, I think, be enough to win their case if you presented no evidence in defence (IANAL).
It is not discrimination to ask an obese person to pay extra if they are going to require 2 seats, it is geometry: You do not fit in 1 seat. If you take up the space of 2 passengers, expect to pay more.
My mum is tiny, yet even she was squashed when she was forced to sit next to one overweight american who hadn't bought an extra seat (and she was only sat their because my dad couldnt fit at all next to this inconsiderate b***h!)
I, too, have found the network to perform identically to O2.
And forum-wise, I find the majority of the answers to be informative. Of course some are complete tosh, as with any forum, but it works for me and costs me half as much as I was paying on an O2 simplicity plan.
"But none of that helps run the actual network, which still needs engineers to keep it operational, and while the approaching-two-day outage may only be affecting a small number of people, it is still unacceptable for any mobile network – even one run by its customers."
And O2 has never had such problems before? I seem to remember a recent much larger scale mobile data problem from them.
I can't remember about any others, but the truth is all network operators have occasional glitches. Nobody is perfect.
Plenty of ideas here, but my personal favorite (for it's simplicity) is using condensation to lower the pressure. I am not sure how low you could get with this setup, but I would suggest the following:
* Fill the chamber with steam. This is probably easiest to accomplish by pouring in a small amount of boiling water.
* With lid still in place, cool with cold water to condense the steam.
* Remove the cold water and add the dry ice. This should remove any remaining water vapour and freeze the water at the bottom, so the humidity should not be too different.
To increase the effectiveness, you could add a small vac pump (e.g. vaccuum cleaner or from a diesel) to reduce the pressure before chilling, but this will also remove some steam... It'd take some experimentation to ensure it would get the pressure low enough. You may need to try a different refrigerant, too, but if it works it's definitely the simplest option...
One other option I can see... Take the chamber, with a one-way valve installed (in place of the vac pump) to a hypobaric chamber. They take the pressure down, then when you take it out it's all set at the required pressure, ready to chill and fire.
I beleive you are highlighting the main misconception of society in your comment here.
Engineers ARE BOTH technical AND creative people.
Solving a complex engineering problem requires both technical ability and a creative mind. The best engineers often solve the new problems by coming up with new techniques, which obviously involves a creative element. Even applying an existing technique to a new situation involves imagination and creativity.
The problem is that (in this country at least) engineers are considered the doers. I remember a poll in the UK asking people to name the most famous engineer they knew. The most popular answer: Kevin Webster, a mechanic from Coronation Street. It does not help that cleaners have job titles like "Sanitation Engineer", but in this country the word Engineer is misunderstood by the vast majority of the population.
Contrast this to, for example, Germany. Over there, engineers are looked upon very highly, in the same way as doctors. I beleive (although I may be wrong) that there are rules about who may be called an engineer.
The problem is not that Devs/Coders/Software engineers are not recognised in their creative capacity, but that technical creatives in general are not recognised by the majority of the population. This is why we are regulated to "doers", and the crayon brigade get the aclaim.
Yes, but what if their science is flawed? What if they cut up wood to make tables when they have perfectly good tummies to eat off?
The headline would be better without "US nuclear aircraft carrier"
... have Apple sue you for using their trademark on the device. D'Oh! Don't think you thought that one through.
... Even if they do say "Jehovah"!

As Wednesday's stocktaking made clear, all Parties agree we need to do quite a bit of work to get the ambitious, equitable and comprehensive climate deal the world needs. As one French group (no, not the incoming Presidency) puts it; we need to work harder, better, faster, stronger.
Eco Digital Blog
Being clear helps better direct policy and allocate resources appropriately. So ECO also wants to be clear. Paris needs to improve transparency and accountability on many different fronts: mitigation and adaptation actions and means of implementation. And to be even clearer, it does not mean additional burden. And importantly, improved transparency and accountability will build trust.
Delegates, are you also hoping that soon you'll be able to come to Bonn in super-efficient aircraft, helping to solve the problem of emissions from international aviation? ECO is guessing that the answer is a resounding: "Yes!"
All week, the expression "enabling environments" kept coming back into use during the finance sessions. Several Parties raised questions about what it actually means. ECO has a few worries of its own. Since this week has been about gathering feedback and building convergence, a bit more clarity on this term needs to be enabled.
Does anyone really question whether land is central to what we're all trying to do here in the UNFCCC? No, didn't think so. Not only is the land sector critical to our mitigation efforts, but one of the key reasons we so urgently need to stop climate change is to still be able to use it to grow food and, um, eat, in a few decades' time.
FYI: ECO is highly principled, and believes that a key role of the Paris agreement will be to enshrine durable principles. Specifically for carbon markets, the following principles should be inscribed:
Real: unless the emissions reductions have actually occurred, and are not an accountancy trick, what's the point of a market?
Rumours are circulating that certain Parties have been shopping a less-than-precise interpretation of EU positions in Bonn. Apparently, one of the main messages has been that the EU's proposal for 10-year commitment periods has developed into quite an obsession, with little chance of recovery. ECO begs to differ.
With all the puffery at these talks, you'd think a little more hot air might not be noticed. The problem is, it's not just a little bit of hot air, the result is sweltering.
The lack of integrity of the market mechanisms under the Kyoto Protocol, combined with weak targets, have created an 11 gigatonne CO2e hot air loophole. That's right, 11 big ones — clearing up that loophole would go a long way to closing the gigatonne gap. One important way would be to agree the KP hot air credits must be ineligible for compliance in the Paris agreement.
When working at a microscopic level, we know there is a danger of delegates losing perspective. In June, the presentation of the Structured Expert Dialogue (SED) results saw intensive exchanges on new science, the impacts of climate change and how to keep warming at 1.5/2°C. But the end saw Saudi Arabia and others sideline an agreement to inform the ADP on their work and conclusions.

Mehdi Hasan examines the truth behind growing wealth inequality
The rise of India's Hindu fundamentalists
31 Dec 2012 17:20 GMT | Politics, Middle East, US & Canada, Egypt, Iraq
Iraq's prime minister has questioned the role of Turkey and Syrian rebels in stoking unrest, as Sunni protesters in the country continued to demand the release of prisoners held by the Shia-led government.
Nouri al-Maliki, in a televised interview, said on Sunday evening that the protests had "a sectarian dimensions and extension".
"We may have differences with one another but what relation does [Turkish Prime Minister] Erdogan have in this? Why is his poster lifted? This is an indication of support and we don't need to accuse anyone," Maliki told al-Sumariya TV.
"Why is the flag of the Free Syrian Army raised and what relation does it have with the demands of people? Why are the posters of Islamic state in Iraq lifted in the protests?"
Protests blocking a key highway linking Iraq to Syria and Jordan entered a tenth day on Monday and authorities north of Baghdad declared general strikes a day earlier.
The protests were sparked by the arrest on December 20 of bodyguards of Iraq's finance minister, a Sunni, and have spurred allegations that the government was using anti-terror legislation to target the Sunni minority.
Iraqi authorities on Monday called for an end to what a senior official said were illegal and illegitimate protest rallies in Sunni-majority provinces including Salaheddin, Nineveh and Anbar.
A statement posted on the website of Ali al-Alaak, cabinet secretary general, acknowledged that the constitution guaranteed freedom of expression, assembly and dissent, but added that such freedoms must be practised "in a way that does not oppose public order".
"These should not be carried out without the knowledge of authorities and their permission," it said. "What is happening now... is breaking the law and the constitution."
'Rogue elements'
On Sunday, the bodyguards for Iraq's deputy prime minister wounded two people when they fired warning shots at protesters who pelted his convoy with bottles and stones, witnesses said.
The incident took place in the city of Ramadi in the western province of Anbar, to where Deputy Prime Minister Saleh al-Mutlaq had travelled to address people in an attempt to defuse sectarian tensions.
In a statement following the incident, Mutlaq said some "rogue elements" at the protest had tried to kill him.
"Upon the deputy prime minister's arrival, the protesters greeted him with great warmth ... but some rogue elements which seek to divert the protesters from their legitimate demands carried out a cowardly assassination attempt against Doctor Mutlaq," it read.
Live Box 20111212125010827866
Protesters are demanding an end to what they see as the marginalisation of Iraq's Sunni minority, which dominated the country until the US-led invasion of 2003 that toppled the then president Saddam Hussein.
Echoing slogans used in popular revolts that brought down leaders in Egypt, Yemen, Tunisia and Yemen, protesters have also called on Maliki to step down.
"Is this the way to deal with peaceful protesters? To shoot them? This is really outrageous," said protester Ghazwan al-Fahdawi, displaying empty bullet casings from shots he said had been fired by Mutlaq's guards.
In the northern city of Mosul, the provincial council on Sunday called a three-day strike to press Baghdad to release women prisoners and stop targeting Sunni politicians.
The Arab League described recent developments as "worrying" and called for dialogue in a statement released on Friday.
A year after US troops left, sectarian friction, as well as tension over land and oil between Arabs and ethnic Kurds, threaten renewed unrest and are hampering efforts to repair the damage of years of violence and exploit Iraq's energy riches.

John Hickenlooper's bloopers prove he's vice presidential material
National pundits have been touting John Hickenlooper as a potential presidential candidate in 2016, with perhaps a slot as Barack Obama's 2012 running mate as a warm-up. And lately, Hick's been sounding very vice-presidential -- if Obama is looking for a veep as gaffe-daffy as Joe Biden.
The most recent Hickenblooper came on Tuesday, when the governor offered a free-form introduction of Mayor Michael Hancock at the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts luncheon, an intro that was less R-rated (it was a riff on singing in the shower) than it was incomprehensible. A group of black leaders have demanded that Hickenlooper apologize to Hancock -- charging that it was racist to make Hancock a sexual object. But that demand doesn't make any more sense than Hick's botched intro.
Last week's Hickenblooper was a lot easier to parse: He introduced Lieutenant Governor Joe Garcia to a bunch of schoolkids as a "sex star." So far, no Latino groups have demanded an apology for that.
Still, Hickenlooper has a way to go to really give the current veep a run for his funny. Consider these classic Biden blunders:
• At a meeting in Missouri, Biden encouraged lawmaker Chuck Graham -- who is wheelchair-bound -- to "Stand up, Chuck, let 'em see ya."
• At the health-care bill-signing ceremony in March 2010, an open mic caught Biden telling Obama, "This is a big fucking deal!"
• Introducing Irish Prime Minister Brian Cowen a few days earlier, Biden said, "His mom lived in Long Island for ten years or so. God rest her soul. And...although, she's --wait -- your mom's still...your mom's still alive. Your dad passed. God bless her soul."
And then there's this classic Bidenism uttered at a New Hampshire town hall meeting in September 2008: "Hillary Clinton is as qualified or more qualified than I am to be vice president of the United States of America. Quite frankly, it might have been a better pick than me."
But only if Obama wanted someone who would be blooper-free. (Find more Bidenisms here.)
Coloradans didn't elect John Hickenlooper governor because he reads from a script -- or runs from a playbook. If someone had come up with a screenplay suggesting Hickenlooper's career trajectory -- from unemployed geologist to brewpub founder to mayor to governor -- no one would have believed it. Hickenlooper is a smart, funny guy, and if his unplugged comments are sometimes loopy, at least they're all his own.
By the way, there were actually awards given at the Colorado Business Committee for the Arts luncheon where Hickenlooper attempted to introduce Hancock. Get details by reading "Colorado Business Committee for the Arts hands out awards...and unexpected entertainment."

Ryan Paul & the Ardent
With a reedy conversational singing voice that recalls Television's Tom Verlaine, a degree in working-man's rock riffs from the Drive By Truckers school, and hard-won wisdom to spare, Ryan Paul Plewacki and his band are rapidly rising on the local roots-rock scene. The ascent should only hasten with the recent release of a new rough-and-tumble digital EP, the Cute Souvenir Sessions. While its predecessor was painstakingly assembled over an eight-month period, Cute Souvenir's four tracks came together fast and furious by necessity. While it's a dubious critical endeavor to make too much of a hastily assembled mini-album that clocks in at under 20 minutes, Cute Souvenirs nonetheless shows Ryan Paul & the Ardent as a band rapidly outgrowing the alt-country label slapped on their debut. While they've clearly still got loping balladry on lockdown, as evidenced by EP opener "All Along," they also make compelling stabs at Summerteeth-ish pop (the synthesizer-buoyed "Chelsea") and group-harmony-heavy campfire sing-alongs (closing track "Another Time"). Not bad for a day's work. With Bethany Larson & the Bees Knees. (Photo by Elli Rader)

OLYMPICS; Anti-Doping Agency's Letter Described
By BILL PENNINGTON
Published: June 23, 2004
The United States Anti-Doping Agency contends that Tim Montgomery, the men's 100-meter world-record holder, used five banned steroids in addition to the blood booster EPO and human growth hormone, and began using the substances as early as 2000, according to an article yesterday in The Los Angeles Times.
The article said the allegations were detailed in a nine-page letter that the agency sent to Montgomery on June 7 alerting him of potential doping violations that could keep him off the United States Olympic team at the Athens Games in August.
In the letter, the article said, the agency refers to evidence against Montgomery that included the results of blood and urine samples indicating the use of banned substances and a variety of documents pointing to a systematic effort to benefit from steroids or other prohibited substances. The article said the letter suggests Montgomery began using performance-enhancing drugs two years before he set the 100-meter record in 2000. The agency, the article said, also expects testimony from an unnamed person regarding Montgomery's use of the designer steroid THG.
Montgomery's lawyers have previously acknowledged receiving a letter from the agency but have denied that Montgomery is guilty of any wrongdoing and point out that he has never failed a doping test administered by Olympic or track officials. Last week, his lawyers criticized the agency's evidence as insubstantial and unauthentic.
Don Goldberg, one of Montgomery's lawyers, wrote in an e-mail message yesterday that many points raised in the article were taken out of context and that the agency's case was built entirely on the word of Victor Conte Jr., the founder of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative. Conte and three other men were indicted in February on charges of conspiring to distribute steroids; all pleaded not guilty. Montgomery's lawyers said he and Conte had a falling-out that tainted Conte's reliability.
''We would reiterate that everything that U.S.A.D.A. has is from Conte's files, and thus is flawed and without credibility on its face,'' Goldberg wrote in his e-mail message. ''Given Conte's bitter hatred of Tim, nothing from those files can be taken as legitimate evidence.''
A spokesman for the anti-doping agency said yesterday that it would have no comment.
Montgomery and the sprinters Michelle Collins, Chryste Gaines and Alvin Harrison were formally notified by the anti-doping agency of possible drug violations the same day. The lawyers for each have responded to the agency, and that information is being assessed by the Anti-Doping Review Board. The review board recommends whether there is sufficient evidence to formally charge and penalize the athletes, which could include prohibition from the Athens Olympics. The athletes' lawyers said they expected to hear from the review board soon, perhaps as early as today.
Athletes may appeal the review board's decision to a three-member panel of arbitrators. The American Arbitration Association, the anti-doping agency and the athlete involved each pick an arbitrator. There is also a second level of appeal, the Court for Arbitration in Sport.
Montgomery is the companion of the sprinter Marion Jones, who is under investigation but has not been officially notified of any potential drug violations by the anti-doping agency.

Owner seemed nice
Barely functional room. Night stand ripped out. Bathroom in dire need of overhaul. For the money there is little being re-invested in the place.
We were on our way from Monument Valley towards Moab, so it was a good place to stay because we left the Valley after Sunset and had not that much to drive.
They gave us an accessible room with a separate door in it linking to another room.
The breakfast was good the room was clean & comfortable.
The bathroom was very small.
Everything you need for an overnight stay, no fanciness. Complimentary continental breakfast outside on the lawn was unusual, and fun. Rooms were warm and clean.

ST. LOUIS -- Seventeen days ago, Jake Westbrook was facing the possibility of surgery on his right elbow that could have ended his season. But a couple of hours before a scheduled flight to see Dr. James Andrews, Westbook played a game of catch. His arm felt so good that he didn't step on the plane. A few more bullpen sessions and two rehab starts later, Westbrook is set to return to the Cardinals' rotation. He is scheduled to start Friday night at Miami against Marlins phenom Jose Fernandez. So what happened? How did Westbrook go from surgery candidate to healthy starter practically overnight? "I really can't explain it," said Westbrook, before theorizing a shot of cortisone might have taken a few days longer to work than was first expected. Not that the "how" mattered much. "As long as I keep feeling great, I really don't care," he said. Feeling great, of course, is a relative term for a 35-year-old right-hander who has pitched 1,670 big league innings. As Westbrook said, ...
