I Spit on Your Grave 2 - UK Release Heavily Cut
The fact that the British FrightFest only screened a "Special Festival Cut" of I Spit on Your Grave 2 was a clear indicator that an uncensored version wasn't going to happen in Great Britain. The BBFC now lists an entry in its database and confirms the expectations.
The rape'n'revenge thriller received the BBFC 18 classification only after 27 cuts were applied in 6 scenes. The trigger for this was sexualized violence which doesn't generally sit well with the board members. We have numerous examples of this in our archive.
Without the cuts, the film wouldn't have gotten a rating at all:
The cut version of I Spit on Your Grave 2 will be released in England on October 7th, 2013. The uncut and unrated version will be available in the US on September 24th, 2013. You can order it at Amazon.com.

Central West Slopes and Plains feel autumn earlySam Brown, Saturday February 22, 2014 - 10:52 EDT
Daily temperatures have felt closer to autumn temperatures over the last few days in the New South Wales Central West Slopes and Plains district.
Dubbo has not exceeded 28 degrees over the last three days making it the coolest run of consecutive days in February since 2012. Over the last three days Coonabarabran has not exceeded 27 degrees, making it the coolest run of consecutive days since November. There has also been six days dropping below the 30 degree mark so far this month, while the February average is 33.3 degrees.
Cowra has had five days so far this month drop below 30 degrees, with the last three days having not exceeded 29 degrees and yet the February average is 33.9 degrees.
Cloud cover, rain and a significantly cooler air mass have been the cause of these autumn-like temperatures. However, temperatures will gradually become warmer over the weekend and into the start of the working week as a hot air mass builds ahead of a low pressure trough.

Black Jockeys Race Into History
Special to the NNPA from The Key Newsjournal
Jockey Kevin Krigger will ride Goldencents in the 2013 Kentucky Derby
KENTUCKY – Black jockeys Kevin Krigger and Victor Lebron, both of St. Croix, US Virgin Islands will be the first Crucians to ever race in the Kentucky Derby. Krigger will ride Goldencents at the Derby and is ranked second and Lebron will be on Frak Attack and is ranked twenty-eighth.
When thoroughbred horse racing began, Black jockeys reigned supreme. From Oliver Lewis, the first Kentucky Derby winning jockey in 1875 to Isaac Murphy, who won three Kentucky Derby's (1884, 1890, 1891) Black jockeys were the sports heroes of the late 1800's. It was 1902 when a Black jockey last won the Derby. That race was run by Jimmy Winkfield of Kentucky.
Many have predicted that Krigger could be the winner of the 2013 Kentucky Derby on May 4.
Earlier this month, Krigger won a total of four races during California's Santa Anita meet. He became the first Black jockey to win the Santa Anita and did it riding Goldencents which is partially owned by former University of Kentucky Coach, now University of Louisville Basketball Men's Basketball Coach Rick Pitino.

The Shadow Revolution Publisher's Summary
A thrilling new Victorian-era urban fantasy for fans of Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid Chronicles, the Showtime series
Penny Dreadful
, and the Sherlock Holmes movies featuring Robert Downey, Jr.
They are the realm's last, best defense against supernatural evil. But they're going to need a lot more silver.
As fog descends, obscuring the gas lamps of Victorian London, werewolves prowl the shadows of back alleys. But they have infiltrated the inner circles of upper-crust society as well. Only a handful of specially gifted practitioners are equipped to battle the beasts. Among them are the roguish Simon Archer, who conceals his powers as a spell-casting scribe behind the smooth veneer of a dashing playboy; his layabout mentor Nick Barker, who prefers a good pub to thrilling heroics; and the self-possessed alchemist Kate Anstruther, who is equally at home in a ballroom as she is on a battlefield.
After a lycanthrope targets Kate's vulnerable younger sister, the three join forces with fierce Scottish monster-hunter Malcolm MacFarlane - but quickly discover they're dealing with a threat far greater than anything they ever imagined.

text: I work on the Intel Embedded Graphics Driver (IEGD). The discussion on libdrm generated some interestbecause our driver makes use of the DRI and needs such functionality. Currently we are just using a version of thelibdrm stuff created by taking the sources from Xorg 6.8.2 with almost no modifications. Probably very similar to yourlibdrm 1.0 but I haven't looked yet.So my questions/requests are:1) Is libdrm intended to be staticly linked with a libGL, libXvMC etc. Or are you invisioning a dynamic library available on all systems?2) Can you please make it c++ safe. (Haven't looked at 1.0 but we needed modifications) A quick check reveals things like bufs.virt in xf86drm.c and the need for extern "C" { around the function prototypes.3) What about libXF86DRI? To make a DRI client you need libdrm and a hypothetical libXF86DRI to get the functions such as XF86DRIOpenConnection. Clearly you'd want to rename the functions to something like XDRIOpenConnection(), but getting a library that can be linked by other clients would be nice.4) Any way I can persuade you to NOT put the memory manager in libdrm? Perhaps another little library, released from the same place but not really linked together. I have a need for libdrm but I have no use for your memory manager and it seems like a lot of weight that I don't want to carry. It also seems a bit misplaced to me. The DRI and DRM protocols are things of general use that anyone using the DRI would need. The memory manager is a helper so that code can be shared between drivers (your drivers), but is not a required component that would be used by other libGL implementations etc.-Matt

MotoGP Qatar: Dovizioso win sees Ducati grab a spectacular season opener
Under the floodlights of Losail, the 2018 season of MotoGP got underway with another fantastic race that sets the scene for an exhilarating year of racing.
Johann Zarco started from pole after a blistering lap from the Frenchman obliterated the 10-year pole position record from Jorge Lorenzo, with Marc Marquez and Danilo Petrucci joining him on the front row, after they also went under lap record pace.
As the lights went out for the first time this year, it was Zarco that led into turn 1 with the Repsol team-mates, Marquez and Pedrosa, slotting in behind. The Italians Andrea Dovizioso and Valentino Rossi went in opposite directions, with Dovi back in 9th and Rossi up to 4th as he passed Petrucci on the first lap. As the riders came round to scratch off lap 1 of 2018 Marquez slid up the inside of Zarco at turn 16 to take the lead, but thanks to slipstream the Frenchman was back in front again at turn 1.
The biggest mover of the first lap was Bradley Smith, who moved up 6 places to 14th, while Maverick Vinales found himself falling back to 15th.
Lap 3 and Rossi made his move on Pedrosa to take third at turn 1 on the brakes. Petrucci attempted to follow his compatriot at turn 10, but Pedrosa fought back and kept the position until the Ducati's power proved superior on the front straight. Pedrosa subsequently lost another place to his fellow Honda rider Cal Crutchlow, with Andrea Dovizioso following not long after, leaving the Spaniard to fight for 7th with Alex Rins.
"All the wolves behind just want to take my arm" – Rossi
At turn 4 on lap 6, Rossi made another move, this time on Marquez as he took second with a smooth pass up the inside. Back in 13th, his team-mate Maverick Vinales was showing the same pace, with the Yamaha pair two of the fastest on track, but a poor qualifying and start meant a big difference in position.
For a few laps not much changed, but on lap 11 it was again Rossi that was making progress. As he pulled out of the slipstream of his fellow Yamaha, he almost took the lead past Zarco but just ran in too hot with the Frenchman dragging them both wide and Marquez slipping in between to reclaim second. It proved to be a difficult lap for Rossi, which he described as "all the wolves behind [insert growling] just want to take my arm", as he was then passed by Dovizioso, before coming under attack from Petrucci as his front-end was visibly unstable around the Qatari circuit.
Dovizioso had now turned his attention to Marquez and passed his 2017 title-rival for 2nd at turn 1, while Rossi had settled back down and Petrucci had been passed by Crutchlow as the British rider moved to 5th.
Until lap 13 all 24 riders were still standing (sitting?) but that changed at turn 2 as Alex Rins crashed out after running onto a dirty part of the track and losing the front shortly after passing Petrucci. He was joined in the DNF ranks a couple of corners later when Jorge Lorenzo was forced to abandon ship due to a front brake failure. Back out front and Marquez was back in front of Dovizioso, as Zarco was attempting to pull away and the World Champion had recognised the need to stick with the French rider.
Lap 15 and Dovizioso took second back from Marquez on the front straight, while Vinales had now moved into 9th with 8 laps to go. As the riders made their way through turn 14, Marc took a long look over his shoulder at the chasing pack as he tried to gauge the competition. One lap later and Pol Espargaro pulled into the pits to retire after the electrical issue that had plagued him in qualifying returned, while Petrucci was being closed down at a rapid rate by Vinales, who was still showing incredible pace in the 1'55s.
Qatar is an odd race
With 5 laps to go, Dovizioso hit the front as he passed Zarco at the start of lap 18. Marquez followed the Ducati through, but with the Honda wiggling and no room to brake, it took all of his extraordinary skill to pull the bike up and make it into the first corner and keep the position. For Zarco, this was the end of his time at the front as his tyres had been pushed too far and those around him still had a little life and pace left. Rossi passed him for third, while the other Yamaha of Vinales continued to close in on Petrucci, who in turn was chasing down Pedrosa.
Petrux caught the Samurai for 6th on the next lap, while Crutchlow made it past Zarco, with the rider who had led so much of the race now in 5th. Meanwhile, the current leader, Dovizioso set the fastest lap of the race on the 19th, showing just how well he had managed his tyres and kept his true pace until the end, with Marquez and Rossi doing the same as they both set personal best times.
Andrea Dovizioso came into this race as the favourite
With two laps to go, Petrucci moved past Zarco into 5th, before Vinales secured 6th position after passing Pedrosa and Zarco in quick succession. Then it all came down to the last lap. Rossi was secure in 3rd, but would Marquez make a move on Dovizioso? Who are we kidding, it's Marc, of course he did.
Into the last corner Marquez moved up the inside, but as with the previous iterations of this same fight Dovizioso cut back and powered for the line to take the first win of the 2018 season, his 9th in MotoGP.
Qatar is an odd race for a few reasons; it's the first race of the year, the schedule is a mess, the race is at night and the track conditions change at will. But since 2002 there have only been 3 occasions when the rider crowned World Champion didn't stand on the top step of the first race (2008, 2015 and 2017), and Losail has hosted the season opener for 12 years. Will 2018 follow the trend and see either Dovizioso, Marquez or Rossi lift the trophy in Valencia?
Regardless of what it means for the championship in 8 months time, it was a fantastic way to begin the year and perfectly prepares us for the next 18 rounds.
For Andrea Dovizioso, he came into this race as the favourite. Losail suits the Ducati and it's of no surprise that he was standing on the top step on Sunday evening. He didn't have a good start but thanks to his excellent tyre management combined with his superb pace that allowed him to progress without pushing too hard, when he did reach the front he still had enough left to keep Marquez at bay.
For the other Ducati of Jorge Lorenzo, it was a weekend to forget
After Austria and Japan Dovi knew to expect Marc in the last corner and the usual strategy of cutting back on the inside, again worked perfectly. But there is a reason to be wary of this deja vu continuing. As Marc pointed out, these last lap clashes have come in tracks where he's not as strong. In happier hunting grounds the score might start to be evened up, maybe he just needs to try it around a left corner for a change? Either way, it's a guaranteed way to keep everyone's nerves on a very ragged edge.
For the other Ducati of Jorge Lorenzo, it was a weekend to forget in many ways. On Saturday he lost time with technical issues, while on Friday he'd had to swap bikes due to his chain rubbing. In the race, he didn't have a great start due to wheelie and then he noticed an issue with his front brake from lap 2, which he put down to him overheating it, so tried to use it a little less. Unfortunately on lap 13 as he negotiated his way around Iannone, he found he couldn't stop and "needed to jump from the bike to avoid hitting the wall". As Jorge pointed out, it's a good thing that it hadn't happened a few corners earlier at turn 1 and thankfully he walked away unhurt.
The man in second traditionally doesn't feel at home in Qatar, something his team capitalised on for their own entertainment when they sent Marc a dash message saying that he was being followed by his brother Alex in FP3. But this weekend, he was there. The only session he topped was the warmup, but he'd demonstrated he had a good pace over race distance and that in qualifying he could do a single quick lap as well. The hard front tyre he'd chosen was a little bit tricky to handle in some of the left-hand corners but he rode a really great race, and it just wouldn't be Marc if he hadn't tried to squeeze past Dovi in the last corner. In his own words "I try and now I can sleep well this night".
His team-mate Dani Pedrosa had been pretty quiet over the weekend but was held back by his rear tyre in the race due to excessive spinning. The good news is that Dani had a good feel with the hard front, particularly in braking. He found setup improvements in FP4 and while the pace wasn't at the same level as Marquez, 7th isn't a terrible start to the year for Dani.
After signing a new two-year contract, the usual critics crawled out of their dark holes to question what else Valentino Rossi had to offer as he starts his 23rd year in Grand Prix. Well in Qatar, he showed them and summed it up in the post-race press conference "in our sport, like in all the sports, just one thing is important; the result. You can speak a lot, but after, the only important thing is what happen on the track. I don't race to demonstrate to the people that I'm not too old. I race just to demonstrate to me that I can stay at the top."
For Maverick Vinales, he hopes this race is a turning point
Valentino felt good on the bike and had decent pace, but tyres were a worry, particularly the longevity of the front. For raceday, he decided to forget about the rubber and focus on the speed, "we try everything to go fast, and if after, the tyre resist, it resist, if not ciao". It worked, he was able to battle well with the other riders and keep a good pace until the end that kept his podium position secure while he enjoyed the Dovi/Marquez show from behind.
For Maverick Vinales, he hopes this race is a turning point. He was struggling to get a good feel on the bike until he convinced his team to try a stiffer setup. This gave him the feeling he'd been missing and it showed in his pace during the race. A bad start compounded the problems of a poor qualifying, but he had the same speed as the leaders for much of the 22 laps and recovered very well to 6th. 2017 didn't end so well for the Yamaha team, but if they can take the momentum they've found in Losail forward and continue the improvements, particularly with the electronics, the future should be brighter.
Taking the chequered flag in 4th was LCR's Cal Crutchlow who had aimed for the podium but was unable to catch the riders in front, as he could match their pace but not better it. The British rider came away from Qatar happy though, with a good points haul at a track he hasn't finished at in the last two years.
Joining Crutchlow in the LCR garage this season is Japanese rookie Takaaki Nakagami, and it hadn't been the easiest debut weekend for Taka. On Saturday he had a big crash the first time he ever used the hard front tyre, followed by a technical issue on his second bike, so qualifying in 23rd wasn't ideal but he gained a lot of experience over 22 laps and learnt a lot from the riders around him.
Danilo Petrucci was another rider not entirely satisfied with their final result as the Italian brought home 5th after starting on the front row and being in the front group for the entire race. He recognised that he'd had the potential to finish on the podium, but the soft front tyre hadn't given him quite enough in braking and turning. The weekend, in general, was very positive for Petrux though and it's good to see he's carried forward his excellent form from 2017, it looks to be another great year for Danilo and that first win might be coming soon (which would definitely make the amount of weight he lost over the winter worth it!)
With 5 laps to go, Johann was struggling
His new Pramac team-mate Jack Miller had a decent race to 10th, despite losing some front feel, especially in right-hand corners. The Australian is still looking for improvements from his new-to-him Ducati but he looks a much happier and more comfortable rider already this season.
Then it's time to look at the race leader for 17 laps, Johann Zarco. He'd already blown everyone away in qualifying after finding the confidence he'd been missing until that point, with his team boss Herve Poncharal conceding that the pressure and the expectation had been affecting him. In the race, he got a great start and much like 2017, he led well, although this year his time at the front lasted longer and didn't end in the gravel. But the front tyre had its limit and with 5 laps to go, Johann was struggling with sliding and couldn't turn onto the right side properly.
It was a mixed result for Suzuki
While the Frenchman was undoubtedly impressive out front it's important to recognise that the riders behind him weren't necessarily pushing as they all had to save their tyres. Dovi explained, "he was struggling a lot, he didn't have the grip, he use too much the tyre.. he lead the race because we wanted, because everybody save the tyre".
On the other side of the Tech 3 garage is rookie Hafizh Syahrin, who made history as the first Malaysian rider in MotoGP. A late addition to the grid after Jonas Folger ruled out a return from illness this year, Hafizh has definitely impressed and did so again in Qatar. 14th on his debut after only completing two tests with the bike is a great result and brings more experience for the Malaysian, particularly with managing different engine maps during the race.
It was a mixed result for Suzuki with Andrea Iannone taking the flag in 9th. The Maniac had a good start but had issues with front feel during the race, thankfully he thinks they should be easily resolved, which meant he focussed on finishing the race and bringing home some points. He'd struggled with the front throughout the weekend but showed good pace while Alex Rins started his season with a baptism of gravel after crashing on lap 13 but remained optimistic after a very impressive weekend where he found a good feeling with the bike.
Just outside of the top 10 was Tito Rabat who had a difficult start to the race but found some decent pace as the laps continued. 11th was a good comeback from a complicated Saturday and the signs look good for Tito this year, as he's visibly more comfortable on the Ducati. Rookie team-mate Xavier Simeon is finding the step to MotoGP a little trickier than his fellow former Moto2 riders, but Sunday was his first time doing a full-race distance on a MotoGP bike and the fact that he stayed calm and saw the chequered flag is a positive sign and he'll benefit from the experience.
Moto2 World Champion Franco Morbidelli crossed the line in 12th after an impressive race that was "a better result than I expected" and definitely a good way to kick off his rookie year, while team-mate and fellow debutant Tom Luthi also performed better than he had thought in 16th, despite some braking issues.
The Angel Nieto Ducatis of Alvaro Bautista and Karel Abraham finished 13th and 15th, with Alvaro losing time at the start as he struggled to get heat into the tyres and Karel having to take avoiding action, while also needing to deal with the front of his bike shaking and a lack of grip.
The Qatar Grand Prix was a spectacular season opener.
Bradley Smith brought the KTM home in 18th after the front tyre performance dropped after just 10 laps and left him battling understeer, while Pol Espargaro retired with an electrical issue. KTM have definitely made a step forward from last year, but so has everyone else. Both suffered technical setbacks in Qatar and Pol is still recovering from hernia surgery, so hopefully, the next races will see improvements from the Austrian factory.
The other Espargaro, Aleix, also struggled on Sunday, as his Aprilia ran into a fuelling issue that saw him drop back through the field. Without the problem, Aleix felt he might have been able to fight in the top 5/6 and he'd shown decent pace over the weekend. His main area for improvement seems to be getting the most out of new tyres, particularly for a fast lap, so if he can improve qualifying his results should benefit. His new team-mate Scott Redding finished just behind Aleix in 20th after lacking rear grip for much of the race, but the British rider is still learning the RS-GP so we should see him gain confidence as the season progresses.
Overall, the Qatar Grand Prix was a spectacular season opener. We saw a 10-year-old pole record smashed by Zarco, a tyre masterclass from Dovizioso, another last corner challenge from Marquez, a return to the podium for Rossi and some very strong performances down the rest of the grid. Moto2 and Moto3 served up brilliant battles as well, with Pecco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin starting the season on top. And MotoGP had one of it's closest top 15 finishes with just 23.287 seconds separating them.
With 3 weeks until the next race in Argentina, it's Desmo Dovi who starts the year in pole position at the top of the standings and there's every reason to expect further visits to the top step this year for the Italian. After seeing Ducati boss Claudio Domenicali bow down to Andrea on the podium, it's perhaps time the Borgo Panigale factory got out their pen and secured Dovi's future at the team. Give him as much money as he wants, it's his birthday this week!
Welcome back MotoGP, I can't wait to see what the next 18 races have in store.
Fire it up in the comments below:
MotoGP Austin: Marquez is King COTA
Austin as a venue for Grand Prix motorcycle racing is excellent; it's large (obviously, it's Texas), it's colourful and the city itself is a great place to spend time.
As a track you either love it or hate it; it's technical and incredibly physical but there's a little bit of everything. If you're looking for a racing spectacle, you won't find it at COTA, but if you want to witness a display of utter dominance there's nowhere else where it's clearer.
Argentina took MotoGP's natural thirst for drama to fever point and knocked everything out of balance. The World Champion Marc Marquez was roundly, and rightly, criticized for his actions at Termas after riding carelessly. Deliberately dangerous? No, just not quite engaging his brain.
After so much scrutiny there were really only two ways things were going to go; sink or swim. And anyone who thought it would be the first of those options clearly doesn't know Marc Marquez.
The Circuit of The Americas is his domain, his kingdom if you will. Every year we've raced there he has won with ease. This year wasn't going to be any different.
The only two hiccups in his total dominance this weekend came on Friday afternoon when Andrea Iannone topped the second free practice session and when he was given a 3 place grid penalty for impeding Maverick Vinales in qualifying.
His pole position will still go in the records as his 6th at COTA and 9th in the USA, as well as being number 46 in MotoGP on his 93rd start in the class. But he didn't start from that prime spot on the grid, instead, he was heading the second row in 4th next to Valentino Rossi. But if you thought that would hold him back or make things more difficult, you were sorely mistaken.
When the lights went out, it was Andrea Iannone who got the best start, tearing forward from second on the grid as the riders made their way up the steep incline to the hairpin of turn 1. By this point, Marquez was already through into second, but the real miracle came when everyone made it through turn 1 safely and still onboard. Vinales had inherited pole from Marquez and slipped behind the World Champion into third as they made their way through the continuous changes of direction that weave from turn 2 to turn 9.
At turn 12, at the end of the back straight, Marquez made his move and passed Iannone for the lead, while two corners later Rossi and Zarco battled for 5th as the two almost came into contact with each other, which would've been the last thing this race needed.
On lap 3 Iannone decided to live up to his nickname of "The Maniac" and passed Marquez into turn 11, unsurprisingly he couldn't quite keep tight to the line and Marc cut back into the lead. Realistically, Andrea knew the move wouldn't stick but thought he'd try to keep things exciting anyway.
By the next lap, Marquez had pulled the pin and opened a gap of 1.3 seconds over Iannone. In previous years he'd been happy to stick around to stop the race feeling so long as he roamed at the front, but this time he was out to prove a point and he simply cleared off.
Vinales made the move into second past Iannone on lap 7, as he took the inside line into turn 1 and with 14 laps to go the podium was complete, while Marquez continued to pull away giving him a 4 second lead by the next lap.
Further back Cal Crutchlow passed Zarco for 5th but ran wide at turn 12 giving the Frenchman plenty of room to retake the position. Things then got worse for the British rider when he lost the front at turn 20, crashing out of position and his place as championship leader before he rejoined back in 19th.
Karel Abraham made the decision to pit at this point, after completing just 8 laps, due to pain. The Czech rider had crashed heavily in Q1 and was experiencing a lot of pain in his wrist, fingers, palm, arm and back. Karel was, unsurprisingly, struggling to turn or brake and his team told him to come in.
But while Abraham was forced to retire, there was a gladiator still on track, with Dani Pedrosa running in 7th despite breaking his wrist just 2 weeks earlier.
Hafizh Syahrin soon became the next rider to fall, as he lost the front at turn 1. Like Abraham, Hafizh wasn't in perfect condition ahead of the race after he had a very hard and fast crash in the morning warmup.
He was soon followed by Alex Rins, who crashed out 3 laps later at turn 12, giving the Spanish rider 2 DNFs in 3 races, and a bitter followup to his first podium last time out in Argentina. Alex lost the front late in the corner, which left both him and his bike right in the middle of where riders were exiting the turn. Thankfully, due to some avoidance tactics from riders, including Jorge Lorenzo and Aleix Espargaro, no-one else was caught up in the incident.
By this point, the top 4 were all having pretty lonely rides. Marquez was so far gone he was almost racing in Houston, Vinales had cleanly dispensed of Iannone, who in turn had a steady gap over Rossi. In 5th Dovizioso was chasing Zarco, but behind them, Pedrosa was exceeding all expectations, including his own, as he clung on in 7th.
The next real piece of excitement came on lap 16 when Jack Miller went in hard up the inside of Jorge Lorenzo at turn 1, forcing the Spaniard to sit up. There was definitely space at the entry of the corner, although things got a little tight as Lorenzo turned into the apex. There was no contact between the pair and while it was undeniably a hard pass, it was a fair one, and Lorenzo would've made the same move a thousand times if roles were reversed.
One lap later and Dovizioso made his move on Zarco down the back straight (hello horsepower) and gave no opportunity for the Tech 3 rider to fight back.
Apart from a late battle for 8th between Miller and Rabat, the rest of the field pretty much followed each other home, as Marc Marquez took the chequered flag 3.5 seconds ahead of Maverick Vinales. In reality, his gap was over 6 seconds, but he sacrificed that when he stood up to do a dance over the line.
Marquez had spent a bit of time in Brazil after the Argentina race, working with UNICEF and visiting a local school in Sao Paulo. The students shared some of their dancing with the World Champion, as part of the project that aims to use dance and music to boost education. Marc had told the kids that if he won, he'd dance for them, and true to his word, as always, he did.
Following him, eventually, to the chequered flag was Maverick Vinales who took his first podium finish since Australia last year and Andrea Iannone who secured his first top 3 with Suzuki and marked a return to the podium for the first time since Valencia 2016.
The cooldown lap then brought the moment of the weekend for me. COTA had done a great job remembering Nicky Hayden, naming the area under their iconic tower Hayden Hill and painting 69 onto the grass, and many riders had been carrying their own tributes to the Kentucky Kid as well. But as he made his way back round to the pits, Marc carried a 69 flag and brought it back with him to Parc Ferme.
Speaking about Nicky after the race, Marc said that honouring Nicky had been a special motivation and that he'd told his team he wanted Nicky's flag at the end of the race. "He was a good friend.. I think this was the moment.. I enjoy a lot to make that lap for his memory".
But Nicky wasn't the only extra motivation for Marc Marquez this weekend.
After Termas, COTA was the perfect track to make a point. He changed his strategy to avoid having to spend time with other riders, going so far as to say "I didn't have the confidence to battle", and instead simply left them all for dust (which there was a lot of this year, thanks to the track grinding).
Marquez knew that he would be under more scrutiny this weekend. In Friday's Safety Commission, riders were told that rules would be enforced more strictly from now on and that was demonstrated when both Marquez and Pol Espargaro were given 3 place grid penalties for riding slowly on the racing line and getting in the way of other riders in qualifying.
Now that rule isn't new, it's as old as racing itself because trust me you don't want to see a fast rider hit a slower one from behind, and it would certainly have been a penalty in Moto3 after the rules were made stricter to stop them always cruising when looking for a tow. So, it's right that it was also a penalty in MotoGP, we have to have consistency and parity in the rules and their enforcement. Marc had his attention on Iannone in front of him and didn't realise Vinales was behind him until it was too late, but that's no excuse, he's a 6 times World Champion and he knows better.
But that extra scrutiny and the increased pressure that comes with it only served as more motivation for Marc. After qualifying Marc made an important comment "my style is my style, but I want to learn from my mistakes". His riding style was questioned after Argentina when that wasn't the problem, his lack of thinking was, and in Austin, he had a point to prove.
It took Marquez all of 12 corners to lead, and apart from Iannone's brief moment of madness on lap 3, he was unchallenged from there to the chequered flag. If you want a definition of sheer domination, it would simply read: Marc Marquez in Texas. If you're not already impressed, and you should be, he was actually a little bit ill this weekend so by his own admission wasn't even performing at 100%.
Marquez is essentially a certainty for COTA, the only way he won't win there is if he screws up and there was very little chance of him doing that on Sunday. But behind him, things weren't so set in stone.
His team-mate Dani Pedrosa was performing miracles by even getting on the bike on Friday. He pushed himself to the limit in qualifying and then beat all expectations in the race. 7th place in MotoGP can be a hard fought position to take when fully fit, so 2 weeks after breaking his wrist and having surgery, it's nothing short of incredible. Unsurprisingly, he didn't particularly enjoy himself and he was struggling to control the bike towards the end, but he made it through 20 laps and 400 corners of one of the most physical tracks of the year and brought home some precious points thanks to painkillers and adrenaline (which is better than any analgesic). With more time to heal before Jerez, he should be feeling considerably better when we return to Europe. The Little Samurai is one tough cookie and for me it was the ride of the weekend.
Maverick Vinales had made some substantial steps forward with the electronics that were letting him ride in a more aggressive way, something that suits "Top Gun" and the benefits were evident as he took the flag in 2nd and showed the closest pace to Marquez at COTA. He's found a good feel on the bike and while there's still work to do, both with the electronics and the front feel, he's ready for Jerez. Interestingly, he feels that his season will really start after he's had some testing time to devote purely to setup, and the next test is immediately after the next race.
The other Yamaha was brought home in 4th by Valentino Rossi. It was a good weekend for The Doctor overall and the Italian showed pretty decent pace in the cooler practice sessions. But it was the heat on race day that prevented his podium aspirations as he struggled with the front tyre. He had been given little option but to run the medium as the harder compound simply didn't work for him, but he felt the balance of the bike might have contributed to some of his issues so there's still work to do.
Regardless, the Yamahas are definitely making progress and moving in the right direction. It hasn't been the ideal start to the season, especially for Rossi, but the return to Europe promises more to come from the boys in blue.
It was back to back podiums for Suzuki, although with different riders as Andrea Iannone secured 3rd after his excellent start. Andrea seems to look happier and calmer this season, and he reaped the benefits in the race as he stayed sensible (mostly) and brought the bike home. He'd shown good pace throughout the weekend and was the only rider to beat Marquez in a session. He didn't have enough to hold off the World Champion or Vinales but it's a very good result as he looks to prove his worth to Suzuki ahead of contract-talk time.
For Alex Rins it was a bumpy fall from the highs of his first podium at the last race. He struggled for much of the weekend; lacking confidence and feel, although he had felt better on Friday when the track was very dirty and grip levels were low. He was obviously disappointed to crash but keen to point out the positives of Iannone showing that the bike was working well.
5th went to Andrea Dovizioso, who had another weekend of damage control. Ducati expected to struggle in Austin and their concerns over turning proved true. Their issues with turning and wheelie when accelerating from low speed out of corners led to Dovi joining Lorenzo in running the aero fairing and he felt that it had definitely been the right decision. The concern for Dovizioso and Ducati is that much like last year they've shown that there are tracks where they struggle, and the thing that really held Dovi back in 2017 was not being on the podium when he couldn't win. On the other hand, he goes to Jerez leading the championship, albeit by 1 point, which puts him in a much better position than last season, the flipside of that being that there are even more strong riders than 2017.
There was no such optimism on the other side of the Ducati garage though, as Jorge Lorenzo finished in 11th and called it a "race to forget". The 2018 chassis proved to be more unstable over the bumps for the Spaniard and while over one lap he was able to put in a good time, with used tyres his pace simply wasn't good enough, which is what ultimately held him back in the race as he struggled with spinning from the tyre. We are now heading to more Jorge-friendly circuits and with just 6 points from 3 races the improvements need to come fast.
Johann Zarco brought his Tech 3 Yamaha to the line in 6th after a tricky weekend that never really saw him looking comfortable. He didn't have a particularly good start, and while his pace was pretty constant it simply wasn't fast enough, especially when he came under pressure from Dovizioso, but he did secure the position of the top independent rider.
His team-mate Hafizh Syahrin definitely had a worse time though as he lost the front on the brakes and crashed. He had lost time in warmup due to crashing so was forced to run his setup from practice, which in the higher temperatures proved to be a little too soft. It was a rude awakening for the rookie who had otherwise been pretty impressive so far this year. Hopefully, it doesn't knock his confidence and he can come back strong in Jerez.
Tito Rabat had a great race to finish 8th, a good improvement on his grid position of 14th. He'd taken a risk choosing the hard rear tyre but made it work. Tito had to make some hard overtakes but enjoyed the battles, especially with Jack Miller towards the end.
Avintia team-mate Xavier Simeon finished 20th after lacking confidence at the start but found a decent rhythm later on. Every lap is still good experience for Simeon who hasn't had the easiest transition into the premier class and he's the first to admit that he's still holding back slightly to avoid making mistakes and crashing.. understandable but at some point, he's going to have to lay it all on the line.
The star of Argentina, Jack Miller, took the flag in 9th after being beaten by Rabat late on due to a mistake he made that made him lose the front, but the Aussie had ridden a strong race and did well to make up so many places after starting 18th. It's a 6th consecutive top 10 for Jack and with him looking so much more comfortable onboard the Ducati the season should only continue to get better.
Fellow Pramac rider Danilo Petrucci had a difficult weekend and lost time in the beginning as he struggled with his harder rear tyre and was ultimately disappointed with 12th place. The track might have been a tricky one for Ducati, but finishing behind Rabat, Miller and Lorenzo won't have sat well.
Aleix Espargaro took the final place in the top 10 on his Aprilia after working hard to make up positions early on. Aleix felt the bike was working well, something that would've been a great relief after he said he barely recognised it on Saturday due to chattering and lack of traction, but he ran out of rear grip towards the end and couldn't fight for higher positions.
Scott Redding brought the second Aprilia home in 17th after lacking rear grip, an issue that was influenced by the work they had done on improving the front-end of the bike.
The other Espargaro brother finished 13th with Pol bringing the KTM home in a pretty good position despite having issues with the changes of direction that make up so much of COTA. Pol felt the setup could've been a bit better and the soft front tyre might not have been ideal, but he had looked like they'd made good improvements on Saturday so hopefully, they can carry that forward.
Bradley Smith ended a few places behind his team-mate in 16th after his front tyre gave up and left him battling understeer from lap 12. Until then he'd had good pace and had made up a lot of places, but the British rider will be disappointed to just miss out on the points.
LCR's points came from rookie Taka Nakagami on Sunday as the Japanese rider took the flag in 14th. He had hoped for more but experienced a difficult race. While his team-mate Cal Crutchlow could only manage 19th after rejoining following his crash and was obviously not happy ending an otherwise good weekend with decent pace that way.
Alvaro Bautista took the final point for the Angel Nieto team in 15th, despite lacking rear grip in the race. That issue had largely been the consequence of improving the turning, which in turn affected traction on corner exit. Team-mate Karel Abraham was unable to finish after retiring due to pain.
18th went to Tom Luthi who lost a lot of places at turn 1 as he got caught up in the group, before then having issues with front grip from the halfway point that made it difficult for him to negotiate COTA's many turns.
The final finisher was his fellow Marc VDS rookie, Franco Morbidelli, in 20th. The Italian found himself struggling to ride the way he wanted to and put the focus on the need to get the setup to suit him and his style better.
At the end of the day, the Circuit of The Americas is almost provisionally marked down as a Marquez win as soon as the calendar comes out. He certainly doesn't take it for granted that he will remain undefeated on US soil but no-one has brought forward a real challenge yet and 2018 was his 6th win at the track and 10th in the US in MotoGP.
This year he had a point to prove and he did it in the best way he knew how; by obliterating the rest of the field.
When asked what makes Marc so successful at COTA, Andrea Iannone responded "he's more strong than everybody, it's simple" and it really is. Austin goes left which suits him and he tames the challenging circuit in a way almost unheard of in motorsport.
Marquez remains the undisputed King of COTA and to those that boo him, he has one simple message "another motivation, that's it". If you think that you'll break him, you picked the wrong rider. It will only make him stronger and quicker. Your act of stupidity is self-defeating. It marks you out as a fool and is blatant disrespect to every single rider that risks their life every time that they go out on track. Silence would suit you a lot better.
MotoGP now heads back across the ocean to Europe. This is the meaty part of the season. The tracks are often as narrow as they are familiar and we get closer and harder racing with battles for positions up and down the grid. It'll be another 11 races before we leave the continent again and by then things could look very different. Next up: Jerez, and I can't wait.

WorldSBK Assen: Sykes wakes up and smells the victory
For the first time this season, Tom Sykes woke up and smelt the victory in race two at The Cathedral of Speed.
Starting from pole position after finishing race one in fourth, Sykes led the 21 lap race from start to finish, never faltering in what could only be described as a flawless performance by the Yorkshireman.
There wasn't much to write home about as race two returned to its normal form. Jonathan Rea made a stellar start to come through to second, only occasionally coming under fire from home hero Michael van der Mark.
As Sykes was quick to pull a lead at the front, Rea and van der Mark stayed locked together for a few laps, with Rea eventually cutting back in front to ease a two second gap over the Dutchman.
Ducati will be leaving The Netherlands with their heads in their hands after a less than ideal weekend. Although they made it onto the podium with Chaz Davies yesterday, today they weren't so lucky.
Davies ran steady in fifth with a healthy gap between himself and Jordi Torres in sixth, but ran into tyre wear troubles in the closing laps.
Meanwhile his team mate Marco Melandri was cruising around in seventh, after working his way back up from outside the top ten due to a disastrous first few laps that saw him pushed backwards continuously.
It seems that just as we start to see an exciting couple of races, a race like this comes along.
Today's race certainly wasn't as close as we have seen in other races this season, and that's where the excitement comes from. What do the organisers have to do to make it a little bit more exciting for the fans to watch?

Uruguay dating customs
A high profile Republican governor has declined to sign into law, a measure that would have made his state the first to ban child marriage without exception.
Chris Christie, the governor of New Jersey and someone who has been a staunch supporter of Donald Trump, said such a ban would conflict with religious customs.
In frum circles, especially among Hassidim, eighteen is the age when shidduchim start and shadchanim take notice.
Those who support marriage by shidduch believe that it complies with traditional Judaism's outlook on Tzeniut, modest behaviour in relations between men and women, and prevents promiscuity.
If the shidduch does not work out, then usually the shadchan is contacted and it is he/she that tells the other side that it will not be going ahead.
If the shidduch works out then the couple inform the shadchan of its success.
A shidduch often begins with a recommendation from family members, friends or others who see matchmaking as a mitzvah, or commandment.
It's expected that the couple keep the shadchan up-to-date on how the shidduch is going at regular intervals.
Both sides (usually the singles themselves, parents, close relatives or friends of the persons involved) make inquiries about the prospective partner, e.g.
on his/her character, intelligence, level of learning, financial status, family and health status, appearance and level of religious observance.
The bird was caught as it flew 14 grams of cocaine and 14 grams of cannabis into the facility stuffed into a pouch attached to its body.
In strictly Orthodox Jewish circles, dating is limited to the search for a marriage partner.

The Kachra Mane is an addition to an existing older house. Das, the owner of the house proudly calls it the Kachra Mane or Scrap house. The new addition sits lightly on the existing bulding and uses reused packaging pine wood to make the structure of the new house. The exterior 'walls' are of pinewood and glass which let in the light and air and make the outside come indoors. The roof structure follows this route and is lightweight [no concrete] wooden frame with corrugated bamboo matt board. The glass, much of the pinewood, furniture, lights, toilet fixtures are all salvaged material.
The design follows the traditional architecture of the local village cottages - heavy masonary walls and light roofs. The materials and the way they are used in a modern way make the character of the farmhouse a modern building hugged by the bermed landscape around it. By berming earth around the building we are able to locate a place for itself in the expanse of flat farmland, and also take advantage of the way berming helps moderate the room temperature inside. Windows capture, intimately, the views of ground and sky. Windows are positioned to tap prevailing winds along southeast-northwest direction and enable good cross-ventilation. The masonry walls are of exposed wire-cut bricks laid in rat-trap bond forming a cavity wall. The rat-trap bond presents a beautifully proportioned brick pattern that lends rich character to both the interior and exterior. Almost all masonry is left exposed to reveal the beauty of natural materials engineered together. The light steel is provided with a recycled plywood false ceiling on the underside of the structure with thermal insulation inbetween. Exposed steel complements masonary walls. Windows and doors are made from sustainable plantation pine wood as well as some recycled pinewood from packaging waste.

Saudi stock market to open up to foreign investors for first time
July 22, 2014 - 17:14 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Saudi Arabia's stock market will open up to foreign investors for the first time, the country has announced, according to BBC News.
The move, which should happen in the first half of 2015, sparked a 3% rise in the Tadawul index in early trading.
The Saudi market is the biggest in the Middle East and the second biggest in the world, next to China, that is closed to direct foreign investment. Currently, foreigners can only gain exposure to Saudi stocks through derivatives and investment funds. After the market is opened up, foreigners will be able to buy Saudi stocks directly on the Tadawul.
The move is part of wider government efforts to diversify the Saudi economy away from oil, the BBC says.
"The market will be open to eligible foreign financial institutions to invest in listed shares during the first half of 2015, with God's permission," the country's Capital Market Authority said.
Analysts expect there to be a great deal of interest in the market as investors look to buy into some of the Middle East's blue chip companies and into an economy that is expected to grow by more than 4% this year.
"This is a massive move for Saudi and for the region," said Rami Sidani, head of Middle East investments at fund manager Schroders, who forecast the country would "definitely attract massive inflows" as a result of the move.
Experts say it will also benefit the country, which will be seen as a mainstream destination for big international investors.
"This is a potential game-changer for the region, a very important milestone that people have been waiting for," said Salah Shamma at fund manager Franklin Templeton.

Political Advertising Makes Its Way Into Asian Nations
HONG KONG -- The fortuneteller turns tarot cards one by one. "He's tall," she intones after the first. "Fair-skinned" after the second. "Handsome. And rich." A voice interrupts: "If you don't know enough about the candidates running for office, will you just be guessing?"
So went one of four ads Philippine broadcasters bought last year urging legislators to end a 13-year ban on political advertising. Lawmakers got the message. The bill is waiting to be signed into law by President Joseph Estrada, a famous actor who didn't need advertising to become a presidential contender. Some politicians say he is likely to take time out from his impeachment trial to veto it.
As more Asian nations become democracies, they are starting to adopt all the trappings, including -- for better or worse -- political advertising. It is already a multimillion-dollar business in new democracies like Indonesia, Thailand and South Korea. If the trend continues, political advertising in Asia, the world's most populous region, will eventually be bigger than anywhere else.
How big? Consider Thailand, where politicians spent an estimated $1.2 billion in a 1996 election, more than the Democratic and Republican parties spent on the U.S. presidential election that year combined. And experts say political bosses spent even more on Thailand's election last Saturday.
Much of that money allegedly went to buy votes in a country where one former prime minister is nicknamed "The Walking ATM Machine," suggesting he has stooped to buying votes in the past. Candidates routinely strap on bulletproof vests before going out to campaign. So much money sloshes around the countryside that makers of motorbikes, appliances and the like routinely run more ads at election time to grab consumers while they are awash with cash.
But Thailand is cleaning up its elections. If only a fraction of that money gets switched into legal political advertising it could be a big new business, even with Thailand's regulatory limits on campaign spending. And ads are going to become ever more important as vote buying diminishes.
This was the first election in Thailand to feature political ads about serious issues. "This is a watershed year," says Somjai Phagaphasvivat, a professor of political science at Thammasat University in Bangkok. "Thai politics has been transformed. It will never be the same again."
The Thais Love Thais party of telecommunications tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra won in a landslide last Saturday by rapping the earnest but dispirited Democrats for not pepping up the economy. The in-house advertising agency at his two-year-old political party churned out a blizzard of slick Western-style ads that dazzled voters. (Although he earns credit for introducing economic issues to political advertising, Mr. Thaksin is in hot water with a new corruption-busting election commission for allegedly hiding his wealth while he was a cabinet member three years ago.)
But political advertising has not fully taken off in Asia, where the 1.2 billion citizens of China remain securely under the thumb of the Communist Party. And in the new democracies, the ads are usually fairly basic and cheap. "You're not likely to see the kind of sophisticated things that run in the U.S. -- heavily researched, changing every week," says Andre Nair, until recently a managing director of Bcom3 Group's Starcom, which buys television time and newspaper space for advertisers. "Here it's more mass rallies and kiss-the-baby kind of stuff."
Since political advertising in Asia is still small potatoes, local agencies are likely to get more business than the big Western multinationals that dominate the region's advertising industry. "Political advertising is very risky," says Garry Titterton, CEO of U.S. advertising agency DMB&B's Asian unit. "You are bound to upset someone."
Right now there is more money in government for work like promoting tourism, and most of the big agencies don't want to alienate politicians who might be in a position to award a lucrative contract after the next election. Nor would these foreign companies want politicians making a fuss over how much of the local advertising business they control or accusing them of unduly influencing local elections. Finally, most big agencies eschew politics, even in the U.S., where specialized political consultants have most of the business.
One multinational that doesn't mind political work is the big U.S. agency Grey Advertising . It was a Grey unit in the Philippines that worked on ending the ban on political ads. The prohibition goes back to the year after the ouster of dictator Ferdinand Marcos in 1986 and was intended to make running for office a fair process.
Instead -- says Grey's Philippine agency, Campaigns & Grey -- rich politicians bribed reporters and columnists to put their names in the newspaper or on television. Incumbents have a leg up, too, and so do the movie and TV stars who go into politics in the Philippines when their careers slow down. "The ban was well-intentioned," says Yolanda Villaneuva-Ong, group chairperson for Campaigns & Grey, "but it turned out to be completely unfair."
A Grey unit in India also worked on the successful 1999 re-election campaign of the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party. Even there, in the world's largest democracy, political ads aren't yet big business. The BJP spent only a few million dollars, says Ashutosh Khanna, a senior vice president at Grey's Indian unit, Trikaya Grey Advertising Ltd. "Some toothpaste brands we've handled spent more," says Mr. Khanna. "The election commission and the man on the street don't like it when you spend a lot of money." On the other hand, this was India's third national election since 1996.
Since almost two-thirds of India's one billion people don't regularly see a newspaper or television, the agency hired thousands of vans equipped with video screens to take the BJP message to the boondocks. That was Trikaya Grey's first brush with politics, and it probably won't be its last. "We did it mostly out of curiosity," says Mr. Khanna. "But we'd do it again. After all, there aren't that many people who get to give a 45-minute Power Point presentation to the blokes who write policy for the entire nation."
