Professional Community for Car Dealers, Automotive Marketers and Sales Managers
Written by Amy Wilson and David Barkholz - source: Automotive News
Google searches have become the key battleground for courting Internet shoppers, and a Texas lawsuit involving search terms sold by Google demonstrates the potential for Hatfield-and-McCoy battles among dealerships nationwide.
It also raises thorny ethical questions about Internet marketing for dealerships and the vendors that handle their online marketing.
On the rapidly expanding frontier of search marketing, dealership behavior is testing Google policy, trademark law and state regulations -- and the stakes are enormous: Two of every three visitors to a dealership Web site get there directly from a Google search, industry statistics show.
In the Texas lawsuit, Group 1 Automotive, which owns Rockwall Dodge in Rockwall, Texas, is suing a rival dealer who bought the search term "Rockwall Dodge" -- and, as a result, showed up along with the real Rockwall Dodge in a Google search.
Defendant Randall Noe, who owns Randall Noe Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep in nearby Terrell, Texas, disputes the allegations, calling the nation's fourth-largest retailer a "crybaby" that's throwing its weight around. He says he no longer uses the Rockwall Dodge search term.
The lawsuit, filed May 21 in state court in Kaufman, Texas, alleges that Noe Chrysler-Dodge-Jeep infringed on Group 1's trademarks and is deceiving customers by using the name of Rockwall Dodge in Google paid-search ads.
By purchasing Google ad words and phrases that contained the Rockwall Dodge proper name, a Randall Noe store link would appear in the upper, shaded portion of the first Google results page where paid ads appear. At the time the lawsuit was filed, the Randall Noe ads included the Rockwall Dodge name in its header.
A Group 1 executive calls the practice predatory.
"It has been an issue in the industry over the last couple of years," said Pete DeLongchamps, Group 1 vice president of manufacturer relations and public affairs. "It's trying to mislead the consumer to direct him toward Web sites and Web addresses that were not the intention of the consumer."
Legal spats such as the Texas case are rare. In many markets, dealers have "gentlemen's agreements" not to buy each other's names, said the e-commerce director of a Midwest dealership group who asked not to be named.
The practice treads into the gray area of trademark infringement, the source said. At best, it creates bad blood and might result in a bidding war that benefits only Google.
Problems "usually can be resolved with a phone call between Internet directors, or the dealer principals will talk to nip it in the bud," the source said. "But people can get stupid over these things."
Karen Phillips, general counsel of the Texas Automobile Dealers Association, said her state has two provisions that apply to such disputes.
First, the state's advertising rules prohibit a dealer from false, deceptive, unfair and misleading advertising practices. The Texas Business and Commerce Code also prohibits practices that cause confusion and misunderstanding.
"The statutes are broadly enough written to cover our electronic age," she said.
She had no comment on the Group 1 lawsuit and said her group is not involved in the matter.
The National Automobile Dealers Association has taken no position on the issue.
A Google spokesman wrote in an e-mail that the company has published and contractual prohibitions against trademark infringement. On its Web site, Google said "advertisers are responsible for the keywords they choose to generate advertisements and the text that they choose to use in those advertisements."
"Google takes allegations of trademark infringement very seriously and, as a courtesy, we investigate matters raised by trademark owners."
Dealers say the issue remains murky.
DeLongchamps said Group 1 filed its suit, which seeks unspecified damages, only after Randall Noe refused several demands to stop using the Rockwall Dodge trademark. Group 1 has purchased the phrase Rockwall Dodge -- also its common-law trademark -- from Google.
"You can't steal our trademarks and intellectual property," DeLongchamps said. "Enough is enough."
Noe says he wasn't trying to mislead anyone and doesn't believe his dealership has done anything illegal. He said he outsources his search engine marketing to vendors.
Noe rejected the notion that his search advertising resulted in lost sales and profits at Rockwall Dodge. "You lose sales because you don't have a good price or give good service -- not because of who's advertising," Noe said.
Still, after the lawsuit was filed, Noe said that as a goodwill gesture, he asked his vendors to quit using the Rockwall Dodge search term. It wasn't generating much business anyway -- just three or four leads a month, he said.
But Group 1 isn't dropping its complaint. After Noe told Group 1 he would stop using the Rockwall Dodge search term, Group 1 asked for $25,000 and the removal of Randall Noe billboards in Rockwall Dodge's market area in exchange for settling the lawsuit, Noe said. He likened it to "Goliath trying to push the little guy around."
"We basically said, 'We'll see you in court,' '' Noe said.
Group 1 declined to comment on settlement demands.
The Noe lawsuit isn't Group 1's first online search dispute, DeLongchamps said. The retailer has had problems in the past with competing dealerships using search engine marketing in unscrupulous ways, he said.
For instance, some rivals have created Web site addresses that feature elements of Group 1 dealership trade names in order to route traffic away from the Group 1 dealership's Web site, he said.
Said DeLongchamps: "We've been fighting it for years, and we've finally had enough."

This is amusing that Group 1 would fight this. Frivolous. They should have the power in Name Brand to override any type of guerilla marketing like this, shouldn't they? Group 1, how many genuine walkaround videos do your dealers make each day...week...month? Are you still relying on picture slideshows? Are you really gauging YOUR MARKETING EFFORTS properly or are you just getting b---- slapped by your competitors? Without more powerful media and marketing, Group 1 may think they are being duped with my post right here, right now. They have much bigger marketing fish to fry...everyone does.
Thank you Ed for breaking out my comments into more understandable terms. This community forum and its members continue to be a great source of information.
Debra, this is a variation, looking to gain an SEO advantage by hiding your trademarked name in their HTML. In this case one dealer was buying SEM terms and then displaying their own ad.
The SEM use is a bit of a gray area, the SEO use is out and out Black Hat SEO. A stern letter from an attorney should clear this up at minimal cost, but feel free to sue away if it floats your boat.
I have noticed two dealerships in our area have added our company name to thier source page Keyword listing. They both show up in a google seach of our dealerhsip before we do. Is this the same as what was mentioned in this article? (The company name in trademaked) I see no other dealerships listed in their source page
This case should be interesting to watch. The result could set a very important precedent and could lead to further expansion. What if your store was sued for conquest SEO? The real estate that makes up search results has real value. Some OEM's are currently trying to control the reach of their dealers SEO efforts by restricting competition amongst like brands. Very interesting indeed.

Ken of AHA MEDIA reports on electrocution of a tenant at Arco Hotel in Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES )
In this video, Ken Glofcheskie of AHA MEDIA reports on how a tenant got electrocuted while climbing the fire escape at the rear of the Arco Hotel.
There was an unfortunate incident at the Arco Hotel on Pender St. recently that saw a tenant electrocuted while climbing the fire escape at the rear of the building. According to reliable sources the tenant lives on the fourth floor of the Arco and was attempting to scale the fire escape when he grabbed a live wire and was electrocuted.
The tenant received serious injuries and is currently in hospital in a coma. The hand that came into contact with the wire had two fingers completely burned off and the rest of his hand was blackened to the bone according to witnesses at the scene. In all probability this person will lose his hand. As well, the tenant received life threatening injuries to the groin area as the current arced through his body to the waist high metal railing on the fire escape.
Witnesses also say that he was in contact with the wire for almost twenty seconds as his hand froze shut on the wire once he came into contact with the electrical current which also caused his stomach to blow wide open as his whole body erupted into flames!!
While BC Hydro appears to insulated the wire of cause of problems with a protective barrier, there is still a live wire that runs close to the fire escape that remains unprotected.
The Arco, which is managed by ATIRA Property Management, have in the past received recommendations from both the previous and current managers to provide security camera coverage for the fire escape area as there has been an ongoing problem with misuse of the fire escape by tenants either sneaking in guests after hours or avoiding use of the front door for whatever reasons.
Although it can not be said with certainty that a camera would have prevented this tragedy, with a desk staff monitoring the cameras there would have been at least the opportunity to have seen this person scaling the fire escape and immediate preventive measures could have been taken.
Hopefully this will motivate ATIRA to provide such coverage in an attempt to prevent such further senseless and serious injury. The Arco is a BC Housing building recently purchased in the well publicized buying spree in the run up to the recent provincial election.

Interesting story April.
What day did this happen?
Has it been reported by mainstream news media?
I've been following your news pieces and think you guys are doing a great job.
Just a suggestion, it would have been helpful if Ken would have identified himself early in the video as a member of AHA Media. I realize it's printed on the page, but at first I thought he was a witness, not a reporter.
Keep up the good work.

My question is why is it that people living in SRO's have to sneak friends in,or sigh in and out and or show ID.
On one hand they are covered by the residential Tenancy Act,but on the other they have few of the rights enjoyed by most renters.
Can you imagine a landlord out side of the DTES daring to ask for ID from those visiting a tenant. Or telling a tenant when and if they can have guests.

Britain should give up trying to punch above its weight internationally and stop routinely deploying troops to world trouble spots, the chairman of the parliamentary committee that oversees the intelligence services said yesterday.
Kim Howells told The Independent that the succession of British deaths in Afghanistan proved the time had come to abandon the pretence that the UK could be at "the very, very sharp end" of United Nations military operations.
Mr Howells, a former Foreign Office minister, called for a fundamental rethink of the nation's place on the world stage.
He argued that the energy and resources used on fighting distant wars should be channelled instead into tackling security threats directly facing Britain.
Mr Howells, who is retiring as an MP at the election, said: "I think we believe we have a bigger punch than we have and a lot of that rests on the superb professionalism of the armed forces.
"When the UN needs a force that's actually going to do the business, they look to the Americans and the British. They don't look to other people."
He said: "We've always regarded ourselves, with justification, of being one of those nations riding on-point for the United Nations.
"So when there have been big problem – Sierra Leone, Bosnia – it's our troops who have been there at the very, very sharp end, in places of great danger. It can't continue."
He said the heavy price paid by UK forces was being reinforced weekly by the "extraordinary images" at Wootton Bassett whenever the bodies of soldiers killed in Afghanistan were flown home. "The public appreciate those ceremonies – they want the dead honoured, but they feel increasingly dubious about sending our troops on these missions.
"The more the reality of those casualties and the awful injuries is made available to the public, the more doubt there is about the wisdom of sending our troops to distant places with all of those risks."
Mr Howells, who has already called for Britain's withdrawal from Afghanistan, said: "I'm very worried we're concentrating on only one thing and that's defeating the Taliban in Helmand province, which is only one part of Afghanistan.
"We have to be realistic and take cognisance of the fact that terrorists won't limit themselves to particular areas – they will look for safe ground wherever it can be found."
He said he did not understand Barack Obama's tactics in dispatching 30,000 US troops as reinforcements to Afghanistan and feared the US President was simply "hoping for the best".
Mr Howells said: "It is said you have got to have a minimum of 500,000 combat troops if you are really going to police the country. A surge of 30,000 extra is going to be nothing like that."
The former minister said he stood by the decision to invade Iraq in 2003, but believed it should mark a turning-point in British military history.
He said the Iraq war demonstrated that most of Nato "were not prepared to put their troops in harm's way" and he saw no sign of that changing in future world crises.
He took a swipe at the Chilcot inquiry into the war as a "public spectacle" that served little practical purpose.
"We are obsessed in this country with inquiries. They cost an enormous amount – at the end, very few people believe the reports because people tend to continue clinging to whatever belief they had before the inquiry started."
Mr Howells, who has chaired the Intelligence and Security Committee since 2008, echoed the Prime Minister's warning that the terrorist threat is "constantly evolving". He added: "Their ability to radicalise and inspire highly educated people is extremely worrying."
He said he was not a "great enthusiast" for the controversial technique of "profiling" air travellers in efforts to thwart terrorists.
"As we look at terrorist incidents around the world, it's frequently those people who are not archetypal – they will use converts for example who look different. They do these things very cleverly."
He also called for sweeping reform of the United Nations which he said had a "pretty hopeless record" in peace-building, preventing war and tackling human rights abuses.

Hero of Sparta might not be able to emulate the Hollywood blockbuster 300 but by my reckoning it isn't too far off (hence the 299). Hero of Sparta is like a cross between Streets of Rage and Tomb Raider. Your job is guide a Spartan hero through a 3D world of mythical beasts and demons, all of which have been sent to slice you into tiny pieces. The intermittent movie sequences and 3D world give the game its Tomb Raider feel and the developers have produced a world that well constructed with many realistic features. The flowing water and flags blowing in the breeze are a testament to the attention to detail and work that have gone into the graphics. Read the rest of this entry »

Removing protein may restore earliest sign of Alzheimer's
Published On: Thu, Dec 1st, 2011 | Alzheimer's | By BioNewsLoss of smell, which is one of the earliest impairments caused by Alzheimer's disease, can be restored by removing a plaque-forming protein in a mouse model of the disease, a new study has suggested.
According to a study led by a Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researcher, the protein known as amyloid beta causes the loss.
"The evidence indicates we can use the sense of smell to determine if someone may get Alzheimer's disease, and use changes in sense of smell to begin treatments, instead of waiting until someone has issues learning and remembering," Daniel Wesson, lead investigator of the study, said.
"We can also use smell to see if therapies are working," he said.
Smell loss can be caused by a number of ailments, exposures and injuries, but since the 1970s, it has been identified as an early sign of this disease. The new research highlights how and where in the brain this happens, and that the impairment it can be treated.
"Understanding smell loss, we think, will hold some clues about how to slow down this disease,' Wesson said.
There is currently no effective treatment or cure for the disease, marked by eroding senses, cognition and coordination, leading to death.
The researchers found that just a tiny amount of amyloid beta, too little to be seen on today's brain scans, causes smell loss in mouse models.
Amyloid beta plaque accumulated first in parts of the brain associated with smell, well before accumulating in areas associated with cognition and coordination.
Early on, the olfactory bulb, where odour information from the nose is processed, became hyperactive.
Over time, however, the level of amyloid beta increased in the olfactory bulb and the bulb became hypoactive. Despite spending more time sniffing, the mice failed to remember smells and became incapable of telling the difference between odours.
The same pattern is seen in people with the disease. They become unresponsive to smells as they age.
While losses in the olfactory system occurred, the rest of the mouse model brain, including the hippocampus, which is a centre for memory, continued to act normally early in the disease stage.
"This shows the unique vulnerability of the olfactory system to the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease," Wesson added.
The team then sought to reverse the effects. Mice were given a synthetic liver x-receptor agonist, a drug that clears amyloid beta from the brain.
After two weeks on the drug, the mice could process smells normally, and after withdrawal of the drug for one week, the impairments returned.
The study has been published in The Journal of Neuroscience.

Kubuntu Goes for KDE 4 – LTS Ditched
Based on the release policy of Ubuntu and its KDE derivative Kubuntu, the next version of Kubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) scheduled for mid January would be a Long Term Support (LTS) version with three years support. Now, Kubuntu's chief developer Jonathan Riddell has announced that there will not be an LTS version; instead Kubuntu is relying on the KDE 4 desktop update.
This decision does not affect the Gnome-based Ubuntu. Kubuntu users will be able to install a version of 8.04 that still uses KDE 3.5.
The Kubuntu developers are not all thrilled about Riddell's annoucement as the mailing list evidences. KDE 4 has not even been released and it is bound to be affected by various bugs and issues, they say. Additionally, less experimentally oriented, professional users should be given the opportunity to opt for a Kubuntu version with longer support.
Riddell cited strategic motives for the step, which came as a surprise even to those familiar with Kubuntu developments. Who, if not the KDE edition was destined to offer the KDE 4 major release, he argued. This is what made a continuation of the release cycle introduced by Canonical impossible. Kubuntu had to commit itself. The large number of downloads of a live version of Kubuntu 7.10 with KDE4 RC2 are ample proof that users see things the same way, Riddell says.
Kubuntu developers like Jonathan Jesse do not see this ditching of the LTS version as a logical step. At the Ubuntu Developer Summit in Boston there was general agreement that the next Ubuntu and Kubuntu versions should be LTS versions, and that there should be an additional releases of both with KDE4. Jesse now sees Kubuntu as playing guinea pig.

The Lattice Boltzmann equation for modelling arterial flow
Buick, J.M. and Cosgrove, J.A. and Tonge, S.J. and Collins, M.W. and Mulholland, A.J. and Steves, B.A. (2004) The Lattice Boltzmann equation for modelling arterial flow. Internal Medicine, 11. pp. 24-29.
Full text not available in this repository. (Request a copy from the Strathclyde author)Abstract
The lattice Boltzmann model (LBM) is a relatively new development in computational fluid dynamics. Here we review the technique with particular emphasis on its application to biological systems. Further, we consider its application to arterial flows and discuss its potential for simulating flow on length-scales where traditional numerical approaches can be troublesome. Finally we present results from a preliminary investigation which demonstrate the suitability of the LBM.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Place a foil sheet, approximately 12x12 inches, on a work surface. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the barbecue sauce in the center of the foil sheet. Place one chicken breast half over barbecue sauce and spread another teaspoon of sauce over chicken. Top with a quarter of the potato, bell pepper and onion. Sprinkle with a little of the salt and pepper. Fold foil in half to cover contents; make narrow folds along edges to seal. Repeat with remaining ingredients to assemble three more packets. Place packets on a baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes. Open foil packets with scissors and carefully pull back edges (contents may be very hot). Sprinkle a quarter of the cheese over the top of each chicken breast half and return to oven, unsealed, for 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. With a spatula, transfer the contents of each packet onto individual serving plates, if desired.

What is it with the England Test team, can't these fellas stay fit? For four weeks the one-day side flung itself around the outfields of New Zealand without suffering discomfort or injury, but when pristine whites replace the blue uniforms the dressing room suddenly begins to resemble a scene from M.A.S.H.
Fortunately for England most of the complaints, with the exception of Chris Tremlett who will return home before the first Test after re-aggravating the side strain he sustained last weekend, have been nothing more than aches and niggles. But it is still far from reassuring when three of the probable Test side are in regular dialogue with the physiotherapist. Matthew Hoggard paid him a visit too yesterday after leaving the field with an upset stomach.
Paul Collingwood was the latest regular to limp from play after injuring his right hamstring on the opening day of England's three-day match against a New Zealand Selection XI. The ailment is reported to be as severe as Ryan Sidebottom's hamstring injury, a grade one tear, but both are expected to be fit for Tuesday's first Test in Hamilton. Collingwood would have batted yesterday had he been needed.
Despite these ongoing concerns England had an encouraging day here in Dunedin with Stephen Harmison, who has been complaining of a stiff lower back since arriving in New Zealand, and Andrew Strauss producing performances that should guarantee them places in the first Test. Harmison took 5 for 100 as England bowled the Selection XI out for 271, while Strauss finished the second day unbeaten on 55.
Strauss and Kevin Pietersen, who struck his second half-century of the game, allowed England to erase their first-innings deficit, but more runs are required from the middle order if they are to avoid an embarrassing defeat. Strauss batted with calmness and skill and his 50 was warmly greeted by England's dressing room. Strauss has been working on playing straighter since being dropped after the English summer.
The 30-year-old felt he was planting his front foot too far in the direction of off stump when playing forward, an error that caused him to play around his front pad. Now he does not move his right foot so far from leg to off, an alteration that makes it easier for him to get his bat at a straight ball. A glorious straight drive down the ground for four suggested that the left-hander's practice was paying off. Strauss, a specialist opener, was again in early after Vaughan edged a good ball from Mark Gillespie through to the keeper. The England captain will spend the next four days trying to find form in the nets. Alastair Cook wasted another chance for good practice when he top-edged a hook to square leg, and it was left to Strauss and Pietersen to ensure that England avoided a two-day defeat.
The selectors played Tremlett here as a possible replacement for Harmison in case the big man failed to perform well enough, and had he not injured his side he may well have played in Hamilton. His aim now will be to be fit for Hampshire at the start of the season.
Harmison's fortune changed in the fourth over of a 10-over spell when Grant Elliott gloved a leg-sided catch to wicketkeeper, Tim Ambrose. The very next ball bowled Mark Orchard but the hat-trick delivery harmlessly passed through to Ambrose. Bevan Griggs and Jeetan Patel each edged a catch through to the keeper to give Harmison what should have been a confidence boosting five-wicket haul.
Yet at the press conference Harmison, did not seem totally convinced by his performance. "My bowling has got marginally better the more and more I have bowled," he said. "I enjoyed it, and to get a five-wicket haul was great. There were some quick balls, some good balls and some bad balls.
"Lengthy spells seem to be helping me but I don't know how far away I am from where I want to be. I tried a few things out throughout my spell, things I had been working on with Ottis Gibson [England's bowling coach] but there was an element of trial and error. I am the sort of bowler who takes time to get used to being in a different country.
"I will just keep working at it, trying hard and hopefully it will continue to get better and better." Selectors, make what you can from that.

What is the deal with the with the resent HEAVY HANDED censorship on this forum?
Why are issues like the pedofile priest appointed by the AOC quickly locked ?
Is a fear of turning possible converts away from the faith?
Are the Mods control freaks who think they are defending the faith by squashing issues that they find politically and morally offensive. What gives?
a forum is not a democracy.
Or do we now live in the Age of "trial by internet"?
Nor is it a police state. But I would add, Tamara, that in a democracy, one is innocent until proven guilty. Or do we now live in the Age of "trial by internet"? If, like Mo, you think this man is a Pedophile, then please, I urge you to present your evidence to the proper authorities, as I have already suggested. Posting innuendo's here and discussing them is not going to protect children.
Nor is it a police state. But I would add, Tamara, that in a democracy, one is innocent until proven guilty.
George: Forgive me for the offence . I am grateful for your fine efforts as a Mod on this forum. I respect your opinion, though I disagree that it is inappropriate to discuss this matter on an internet forum. Perhaps moving it to politics ( I REALLY miss the spell check button!!!!) Mo
If you are prepared to pay the full legal costs of the board in a defamation case, then fine, but I doubt that you are.
With all due repect,you speculate. You have no knowledge of my financial disposition.
I actually didn't comment on your financial disposition.
Ummm.... actually, you did.
Ummm...actually I didn't. I commented (twice now) on your unwillingness to part with funds to pay for OCnet's legal costs, which I still maintain is a reality.
Point well taken. However you DID speculate by your comment " ...I doubt you can".
If your concern is of threads of a libelous nature, I summit there have been many,MANY other threads on this forum that invite the threat of litigation.
Perhaps, but not on my watch.

Auto Politics
By Traci Vogel
I AM NOT my car. It's always been a principle of mine--that a car should be a thing of convenience only, not a mark of success or failure. In college, I pompously drove the requisite liberal arts major's '70s-era Volvo sedan--a car that is to self-effacement what Madonna is to bad movies.
More recently, I bought a Hyundai Elantra. It's nondescript, reliable, gets good gas mileage, and most importantly, it was cheap. Of course, I refuse to think of any of these attributes as emblematic of my identity. Least of all the reliable part.
Of course, the very fact that I drive a Hyundai instead of a Mini Cooper does tell you something about me, and probably not something I should be so self-righteous about. Fortunately, nothing deflates one's self-righteousness like a good break-in.
It was a Monday night, and I had driven into San Francisco to hear a fiction-writing friend read at the Jon Sims Center for the Arts. This fine-arts dive is located near Van Ness Avenue and Mission Street, in a neighborhood most kindly described as Mad Max meets psychedelic drug culture.
I parked in an alley--my first mistake. But it was a well-lit alley, and my parking spot happened to be smack-dab in front of a martial arts studio. How bad could it be? And it probably wouldn't have been all that bad had it not been for my second mistake: I left my CD Walkman sitting out. I don't know what I was thinking. Probably about how environmentally conscious it was of me not to have washed my car in several weeks. That, or my latest solution to world hunger. Something like that.
Anyway, Walkman sprawling in full view, I tripped off happily to my friend's reading, sat happily and listened, after which I bumbled happily back to my car, only to notice that something seemed different. The driver's-side window seemed ... less shiny. And there were little blue sparkly snowflakes all over the street. No ... wait ... those weren't snowflakes! Those were pieces of glass! And my window wasn't less shiny--it was ...
Well, you get the idea. After the 815 or so painfully slow neural firings it took for me to realize that my car had been broken into, me and my brilliant mind sat down on the sidewalk. We were shaking. We felt violated. Someone had confused us.
Suddenly, an apartment window flew open right overhead, and a head popped out. "Hey," the head asked. "Is that your car?"
Car? My brain warbled. "Um, yes."
"Well, I saw the whole thing. They caught the guy," the head said.
I noticed the head belonged to a kind-looking man, so I stood up and dusted myself off. "Really? Who did? The police?"
"No," window guy said. "The martial arts class."
It turns out that there had been a martial arts class in session at the very moment the Walkman thief had been practicing his smash-and-grab. As my window was being turned into snowflakes, six or seven class members had "detained," in a kung fu sense, the perp. After which they had called the police.
It was then that I noticed a note stuck into my steering wheel. "SFPD has suspect in custody," it said. "Please call Southern station."
"The whole thing was better than television," window guy grinned, before retreating. I smiled and started brushing out glass shards with an old Metro (which, strangely, the thief had not attempted to steal). Suddenly, I didn't care so much about my car. Maybe my car did represent something--but the broken window represented something more.
P.S. I did eventually get the Walkman back.

Non-Existent Careers Just 10 Years Ago
March 1st, 2011
With the advancement of technology comes the opportunity for new jobs in industries that may have not even existed five or even ten years ago. As the world is changing and more innovations are evolving, there are professions on the horizon as well as on the decline. Less technology-driven careers like textile workers and machine-tool operators, for example, are disappearing because of the increasing use of robots and self-operating machinery. The increase in computer and Internet use has opened up many jobs for people to work both in the office and at home.
Roles for 2011 and On
Ready to start a new career? Consider a job as a Social Media Manager or as a Telework Coordinator. Positions like these were virtually non-existent just ten years ago. For instance, a Social Media Manager, also known as a Community Manager, is essentially the backbone for companies that want to affect real change and connect with people and various communities. There is no universal job description for a Social Media Manager because the tasks will vary from day to day and from company to company. Many Community Managers are involved with customer service, marketing/sales, legal, human resources, product development, or a mix of all the above. According to Kiplinger.com, "the average salaries for positions like these run from $38,000-$83,00," generally depending on the number of clients obtained. For many people, positions in this industry are ideal because many people can choose to work from home.
Another job that is appearing more on the boards is a Search Engine Optimization Specialist position. People working in these technology-driven industries help companies improve their search engine optimization results, which especially help out the smaller businesses. These positions generally focus on proven strategies to increase a company's organic search results. The idea is to bring companies more traffic and therefore (hopefully) larger revenues. Although there are a plethora of jobs within the technology space, there are also more available in other fields, like education.
An Educational Consultant is a career field on the rise and is, in a sense, replacing the tutoring field. Educational Consultants positions can range in duties and areas of expertise, but all work with students and their families to "get students into the educational environments best-suited to their learning needs, " according to Kiplinger.com. Educational Consultants are not limited to the ages of students they work with. Some in this occupation specialize in helping students get into certain private high schools and others focus on preparing students so that they get into a top-ranked college or university.
These are only a handful of the up-and-coming careers. With the technology-savvy Generation Y entering the workforce, jobs like these will not be too difficult to fill because most of this generation has the qualifications needed to successfully enter these positions as well as succeed.

A forecast of four to ten inches of snow in Richmond causes some people to act so oddly that it provides entertainment value for those of us not as inclined to get our panties in a wad over some winter precipitation.
When I walked by the Kroger at 10:30 this morning, it was mobbed.
And by mobbed, I mean like day-before-Thanksgiving mobbed.
Kroger is undoubtedly having a banner sales day.
When I arrived home from running errands around 1, my landlord had already been by and scattered oodles of a noxious ice-melting pellet mixture all over my steps.
And porch. And sidewalk. And walkway. I think I'm good now.
Walking the dog, I spoke with a couple of neighbors just coming home from work.
Both told me they are in for the weekend, as in, not leaving the house for any reason. Right.
I, on the other hand, accepted a friend's invitation to eat dinner somewhere together tomorrow night.
He lives a mere two miles from me and we figure that between his house and mine, we will be able to find an open restaurant tomorrow evening, even if we both have to walk to meet.
But we will meet.
I also got an e-mail from another friend wanting to meet for brunch late Sunday morning.
Did I hem and haw about planning to meet in the aftermath of the Great December snowfall?
I did not. We made our plans without a second thought about the forecasted weather.
Please excuse my lack of concern for the impending doom of snowfall.
As a guy from Connecticut visiting RVA told me last night, Richmonders are so cute about snow.
Cute is not what I aim for.

Young women who suffer from migraines with visual disturbances and who smoke and take the contraceptive pill are at a higher risk of stroke, research suggests.
Migraine doubles the chances of a stroke if accompanied by aura (temporary visual or sensory disturbances) according to the research, published online in the British Medical Journal.
Other factors that heighten the chances of a stroke include being younger than 45, a smoker and using contraceptive pills containing the hormone oestrogen.
Researchers led by a team from Harvard Medical School said there was no evidence of an increased risk of stroke among people having migraine without aura.
About one in five people suffer from migraines, with up to a third having an aura. The authors pooled the results of nine previous studies on the link between migraine and stroke to come up with the findings.

New Year, New Resolutions
1. Write a children's book. This has been on my mind for years, but I'm hoping to make it a reality this year!
2. Jot down my day in a journal. At the end of the year I want a journal full of how I spent my days and little happy things that happened.
3. Answer emails EVERYDAY. I've gotten to the point where I'm usually weeks behind on emails all of the time, and it's creating a lot added stress. I intend to keep up better by answering some emails everyday.
4. Cut back on the sugar. This one's for the whole family. We are sugar fiends, and while I don't want to cut it completely, a little more moderation would be much healthier for us.
5. Start a daily or weekly project. I'm totally scared of commitment when it comes to these projects, but I'd really like to have a daily or weekly project under my belt by the end of the year.
6. More dates. Johnny and I used to have weekly dates, but once we moved there have been almost no just-the-two-of-us dates. We love going out with friends, but I want to make date night a priority again.
7. Total studio organization. It's time to get truly organized. I still have half of my sewing stuff packed up in boxes, and it's time to really get things in order. Who wants to come over and help? ;)
8. Streamline blog content. I want 2013 to be my best blogging year yet!
9. New tshirt design and new Skunkboy products. I'm all about this kind of stuff. I'm ready to introduce some new and exciting things!
10. Take at least 2 vacations. I don't mean 1-day mini vacations. Those are fun, but I'm ready to go see different parts of the country and different friends we've been missing!
Okay, so this is my short list, or "quick 10". I have quite a lot of goals and mini-goals for the new year, but these are the ones that I just quickly jotted down. If you aren't the type to make a new year's goal list, I challenge you to just write down the first 10 goals that come to you. You may be surprised what your new year looks like!
36 comments:
Best wishes with your goals! I did 10, but I think I have more and more just waiting to come out! Happy New Year!
Ergo - BlogI agree, I think sometimes we start the year feeling ecited and full of energy and then we start getting tired. I think my goal this year is to try to feel more inspire to do all the things I want! :)
I adore your goals, I hope you get to do all of them!

Hi Katie,
Good luck in 2013- I know you can stick to the resolutions. I also want to say how much I love the blog. Your outfit posts are wonderful and you have a real talent in sewing. It's always good to hear what Hope has been up to as well ;) Keep it up and have fun blogging :D
Best wishes,
Virginia I love your list. I totally have a lot of resolutions - I still need to blog them! I am doing the journal thing too. I've missed the past few days kind of but I'm catching up on them tonight. I also love the childrens book idea. I always thought that would be a fun amazing thing to do. Good luck on it!

The opening scene of "Big Shots" on NBC (I think) showed a fellow receiving a picture on his black/grey Q - I mostly just had time to recognize the silver select button and calming blue backlight. Sounds like NBC has a few Qs lying around in their prop room. Mornin', .
they wanted to use mine.. but i declined, i believe they now use a stunt-double :} top of the morning to you.. (i shall not reply to what Dave Letterman is the appropriate reply to that top of the morning :}
Found out this weekend that a guy in my unit just got a Q as well. I showed him all the goodies that i have on my Q, and pointed him to this site.. hope to see him here
there is a blonde chick in my microeconomics class that has a the music version of the Q. trying to tell her about EQ, but she runs out before i can tell her about the site oh by the way first post ever from my Q
Bionic woman thing mentioned before but a little more detail after 3 episodes OK, first episode everyone was on silver or black Q's old style like mine. Some had spiffy leather cases others did not. 2nd episode mixture but more of the Q9(m)s. Then this week only saw the newer ones and none of the old style. Not only do these guys get the cool phones they get to play with ALL of them!!
I searched the thread but didn't come up with anything. I hate to admit it, but I was watching TV with my wife and saw a silver Q on the CW show Gossip Girl.
Sure, sure. we all have secrets dont we. By the way, thats why its good to have two tvs in the house, so you can watch baseball or football while she is getting sappy
Yeah...... thats it..... only one TV in my house... Sure.... I meant to say that in the firt post.........:embarassed:
Tyler Perry was sporting a Q in his new movie 'Why Did I Get Married'. I haven't run into anyone out that had a Q, all my sightings are movie related.
Black Q used by Tom Selleck character on Las Vegas on 19 Oct episode, also had a guy from HP using a Q9M earlier this week in my office
I had a guy come into work today sporting a Sprint Q with a faceless holster. I asked him about it and he was happy to share the programs he has downloaded and what apps he uses the most. I told him about EQ (naturally) and invited him to come and take a look. I know that I have learned a lot here and told him that I am sure he can do the same. Interesting side note: He did ask specifically if I knew of a keypad lock other than the alphanumeric option. I offered the Homekey+Space Bar option. He fell in love with the ease of that. I think we will be seeing him around soon.
A customer came into work today and she had a Q in her lap. I work at a car wash were we go to the customer in their car and they pay.. but I didnt say anything as I thought it might be kinda inappropriate...but I saw one...
Newbie on post....I saw a guy at a TGI Fridays in Dallas,Tx. I showed him mine and it was like we were long lost friends at the bar. I love the Q

This delightful one-panel illustration was printed in the Brewers' 1947 programs:
Aside from playing through some of the more memorable events at Borchert Field over the previous few decades, the graphic also told fans about the changes that were being made by Lou Perini and his Boston Braves, new owners of the club (but not, interestingly, the ballpark; the Orchard had remained in the hands of Otto Borchert's family since his death).
There's so much to love here. I bet I can get a dozen articles out of the entries from the entries on this sketch. Stay tuned.

"The lost hero"
I want to read it it looks like a really cool book to read and I like cool dragon books
I used to whistle while I worked. Now I read a book!
"Harry's Not So Horrible"
Short stories based on the adventures of Harry, an intellegent and mischievious second grader. He tries to play it tough and scary, but he really is a good guy underneath it all. Good for a chuckle. And it opens up some situations for learning to deal with difficult people.
"The Kids Love Harry"
We have loved Horrible Harry since stumbling across the Christmas one in our local library's audio section. The antics of the kids are mainly truly kidlike, and there are rarely black and white villains and good-guys. My kids are entertained by Harry stories for many, many listenings, and I find myself able to hang with a 5th or 8th listen as well. Harry himself is so imperfect but likeable.
I do wish that the gender-roles were not quite so stereotypical and prominent in these books. Also, although the character Sid is complex - he's often Harry's bad guy, but he's not all-bad, and sometimes Sid and Harry make peace - I haven't yet encountered the same complexity to the character Mary.
"My kids love Horrible Harry."
I haven't listened personally to the Horrible Harry audiobooks but have read several to my kids. Harry isn't actually as horrible as you might expect from the descriptions.
My 6 year old and 8 year old love to listen to these books at bedtime. My MIL who teaches grade two also recommends them to her students.

Barbie turns 50– and suddenly, I care!
I despise Barbie, but am fascinated with her popularity. Trolls were my doll of choice. My stingy parents seemed to regard toys as controlled substances, and Dad's stern rationale stiill echoes in the playroom of my mind: "That doll is a demeaning, hypersexualized plaything. Besides, it costs twenty dollars." Dysfunctional family nostalgia: my mendacious brother Lew used to win– even while losing– bets, by claiming he'd said "doll-hairs", not "dollars"… Trolls had a lot of them. Back to Barbie-thing, which is just a scoch younger than I. Now I agree with my dad (about the message the doll embodies) and overjoyed when artists switched the voice boxes on Barbie and G.I. Joe, then replacing them on the toy store shelves to be sold to unsuspecting shoppers….and other wicked creators retooled the dolls into scary trailer park Barbies ("Daddy says I'm the Best Kisser In Town!") and other hitherto unimagined playthings.
The recent story in NYT about this fashion icon led to an internet treasure hunt.. Turns out she was actually a mid-1950's German novelty (for men) that cost about $150 in today's dollars. The Mattel toy co. owner bought a couple in Europe at the insistence of her sixteen year old daughter.
Mattel copied the doll almost exactly in 1959. Note the sly, scheming look and the high, intelligent forehead. Within a couple of years these would be replaced with a forward-gazing affectless zombie.
The German doll's name was "Bild Lilli" and she was more or less modeled after a sexy babe cartoon in "Bild" (a daily newspaper) that had gone 'visceral'. I am using this word instead of 'viral' owing to the pathogenic sound of the latter….on the other hand, maybe Bild Lilli had an effect on the virility of the men that purchased her. I then delved further, and learned that fashion dolls have existed a long time, and currently they look, er…very current!
Odile Gilbert says fashion is all about seduction. I wonder if the toy industry used Barbie dolls to seduce girls into becoming dolls…for the fashion industry, which is linked to the banks & capitalizm. I will be pondering this as I continue to explore my career as a 54 year old supermodel aiming to entertain and inspire that significant 'niche': grown women. It's said that women over a certain age become invisible.
This can help me go 'undie-tected' on single-track trails….

Within months of my learning how to sew, my Barbies and GI Joes were wearing Colonial period dress, down to the frilly aprons, long dresses, greatcoats and tricorn hats. I have nothing but fond memories of a doll whose impossible feet I loved to poke fun at. Happy birthday, Barbie…

The number of students in the Humanities faculties is declining globally, most alarmingly in the universities in the West. While some educational centers have fared relatively well even amidst adversities, some have looked on helplessly at the disappearance of their Humanities departments. Those universities that have given continuity to their Humanities faculty while also investing in the Sciences and Management are, to me, the best providers of pragmatic knowledge.
The Philosophy departments at many British universities are being closed owing to financial constraints, Keel and Middlesex being the most recent examples. I blame the pedagogues for this state of affairs. Philosophy is at the core of the Humanities as the discipline engenders some of the most profound ideas. Thus the idea of a university is incomplete without incorporating the discipline of philosophy. The irony is that we don't have a graduate (MA and beyond) philosophy department in Tribhuvan University (TU) or in any other university in Nepal. Likewise, theatre studies are faring better but film studies still languish sans any university-level program.
What are Nepali universities doing to attract students towards the departments like History, Political Science, Psychology and Culture? TU is Exhibit A of the neglect of the Humanities in general. Consider this bizarre situation: the English department overflows with students while there are more teachers than students in other departments. The academicians have run out of likely solutions to correct this imbalance. Some departments are financial burdens on the university but they still continue to run because TU is a state university and few find it inconvenient to burden it with big educational and financial losses.
In the meantime, I want to look at the concerns of the younger scholars in Nepal. I am extremely impressed by the ideas brought by young Nepali academicians educated in India, Japan and the US. Most of them have completed their PhDs in the last five years and are informed about what is going on in university faculties in Nepal. Many are conducting researches on the goings-on in the universities in South Asian, East Asia and the West. Below are just some issues of mutual concerns we have discussed recently.
We find that the decline of the Humanities is primarily owing to the pedagogues' inability to negotiate with the latest trends in globalization, the rise of consumerist culture and the heightened environmental concerns. The Humanities can focus on such issues in traditional departments like History, Psychology, Political Science and Culture. But these departments have failed to adapt to the needs of the times. They have not been able to attract youths with up-to-date programs which can turn out graduates capable of negotiating the complexities of modern professional world.
Take the topic of tourism in Nepal. Is the department of History open to the concerns of tourism? How many students are asked to do research in this field? What can be done to synchronize the needs of tourism with the History department? The History department, for one, can include courses on tourism. The important thing is to remodel the departments in ways that allow students to find productive work once they graduate. Similarly, the Department of Culture cannot take the sole responsibility for teaching courses on travel and tourism. Economics and Political Science may do their bit too.
Furthermore, there should be more interdepartmental connections. For example, a student of History department must be able to take courses from the department of Economics, if he so desires. If he wants to concentrate on the history and economy of tourism, he should be allowed to take courses from any Humanities department.
Such interdepartmental education needs an overhauling of disciplinary rigidity, seen especially in TU. Once you have majored in English in the I.A. or plus-2, you have to 'die' in English. The rules and regulations do not allow a student to change track. Tribhuvan University is reeling under this ancient educational method and few educationalists are keen in changing it for the better.
I am aware that many of the academicians in TU are knowledgeable about modern trends of education, from Hong Kong to Paris. They do not acknowledge the educational patterns of the leading universities because they know if they agree they have to work harder.
Once, TU was one of the prestigious centers of education in South Asia. Now, its Humanities departments refusing to wiggle out of their old moulds, it has been stuck with the same-old programs which have little valuable insights for their students. We all are responsible for changing this sclerotic system: from students to teachers to politicians to guardians.

To handle cases where JobTracker goes down again while the recovered job is running, there is some logic that plays with files and it ends up having two history files for some window of time during the life of the job - actual history file, .recover file. The idea being that upon the next restart we should be able to the maximal number of events for the job. It led to performance problems in the job submission / recovery (part of which got addressed in HADOOP-4372). It also looks pretty unlikely that a running job will traverse across multiple JT restarts. Even if it did, without the .recover file, it'd only mean that we lose some tasks that got completed in a subsequent restart. I propose that we remove the .recover file logic and base the recovery on only the original job history file. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. | |

British singer-actor Sofia Hayat created a stir last week by filing a police complaint against actor Armaan Kohli, alleging that Kohli, her co-contestant on the TV show Bigg Boss, hit her during a task.
Now, Armaan's father, filmmaker Rajkumar Kohli has slapped a defamation case against Hayat, stating that she has been trying to tarnish the image of his son for publicity.
Kohli on Friday sent out a statement: "Since the past few days, ever since her eviction from the Bigg Boss house, Sofia Hayat has been trying her level best to gain cheap publicity by continuously
Armaan`s name in various sections of the media... These comments made by Sofia are causing irreparable damage. To put an end to Sofia Hayat's publicity-gaining tactics, we have got in touch with our legal team and are in the process of filing a defamation suit against her."

¶ [[To the chief Musician upon Muthlabben, A Psalm of David.]] I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works. |
I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will sing praise to thy name, O thou most High. |
When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence. |
For thou hast maintained my right and my cause; thou satest in the throne judging right. |
Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever. |
O thou enemy, destructions are come to a perpetual end: and thou hast destroyed cities; their memorial is perished with them. |
But the LORD shall endure for ever: he hath prepared his throne for judgment. |
And he shall judge the world in righteousness, he shall minister judgment to the people in uprightness. |
The LORD also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. |
And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken them that seek thee. |
Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: declare among the people his doings. |
When he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble. |
Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: |
That I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation. |
The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken. |
The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. |
The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God. |
For the needy shall not alway be forgotten: the expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. |
Arise, O LORD; let not man prevail: let the heathen be judged in thy sight. |
Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah. |

Yet another Fuel Gauge question
So, finally getting around to fixing the faulty fuel gauge issue in my 64 Belair, 230 inline. The gauge sits just under full mark, and whenever I've driven it, bounces around between 3/4 full and just under full.
Now, I've searched the interwebz and havent really found much to help me out. I ran a jumper wire from the post on the sending unit to the post on the gauge, same problem. That rules out bad sending wire. I disconnected the ground from the tank, hooked it up to the (-) on a battery charger to ensure I got a good ground, same problem. My last resort is to buy a new sending unit or gauge. Which do you folks recommend? Also, the ground post on the tank is very very bady corroded. I didn't bother trying to remove it because I was afraid of it breaking off. Should I try that before buying anything? Thanks in advance

Hi Kid
It could be a ground problem, but I think it's the sending unit in the tank. You should check the ground first thing. I'd just put a new ground wire on. That wire you took of & checked is a signal wire, (ohms) it runs right to the gauge. To check the sending unit you'll need a multi-meter (set it on 200). You should have an idea of how much gas is in the tank. Take that wire off the post on the sending unit & attach the m-meter to the post, then ground the other wire from the meter, what's the reading? 0. to 90.0 ohms with 0. zero being an empty tank. Is your reading compatible with the amount of fuel that's in the tank? If you have an ohms reading turn the key to the on position, then remove the ohms wire from the SU, the gauge should peg to about 3oclock. If it pegged, take that same wire & touch it to ground, the gauge should go to empty. If the gauge did what it was supposed to do, then the problem is either the ground or the sending unit, if you have already replaced the ground wire (like you should have), then the sending unit is the culprit.

Thanks Richard. I'll give that a shot.

22 years on, Pam Anderson still makes the cover!
There's something about Pamela Anderson that makes her very irresistible.
At just 5 feet 6 inches, she's no runway model. But she's a favourite with designers. And though motherhood and passage of time are slowly showing leaving their mark, she still simmers when she wants to.
Even the guys at Playboy can't get enough of their favourite playmate. They now want her to appear on the cover of Playboy's January 2011 issue.
This is the 11th time the 43-year-old Baywatch babe would be featuring in the men's magazine where she will channel La Dolce Vita siren Anita Eckberg. The star first appeared in Playboy in 1989.
Here's looking at Pamela's famous covers through the years.

Poster gal
It was a football game one summer in 1989 that started it all. A television cameraman picked out the then 21-year-old Pammie from the crowd where she later received an ovation. She later became a poster girl for one of the teams.
A few months later, she appeared on the cover of Playboy magazine.

Fave Playmate
Playboy realised they had hit the goldmine with Pam, who decided to move to Los Angeles to further her career.
She became a centerfold for Playboy when the magazine chose her to be their Playmate of the Month for their February 1990 issue.

Randy Pausch
How many times can you say you saw someone on tv and your life will never be the same?
I can say that about Randy Pausch.
Randy was a Carnagie Mellon (Whoa...big brains) professor whose greatest gift wasn't in teaching others, it was his love for his children.
In academia, it's common to ask tenured professors to give a lecture called The Last Lecture. This lecture is all about what they would want to say if they learned they were going to die tomorrow. The difference in Randy's lecture was the he was really going to die.
Diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, Paudch delivered the lecture of a lifetime in September 2007. It wasn't so much about what he wanted to say, it was more about what he wanted to say to his children in the future - the future without him. It was funny, poignant, uplifting and brilliant - an amazing statement from an everyday guy.
Thankfully someone uploaded it to YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo - be warned, it is long but SO worth the time. Once you see it, your life will never be the same.

Asked about the rumours linking Barcelona Atlètic wing attacker Jeffren Suárez (21) with a move to Spanish second division club Real Sociedad (read more here), the players father and agent Efrén Suárez has said in an interview with Catalan sports paper El Mundo Deportivo that everything will depend on the decision of Barcelona:
"There is a chance he could join Real Sociedad on loan although everything will depend on Barcelona. If they see he could have playing minutes, they will keep Jeffren. If they sign another winger, then they will want him to leave on loan. But at this moment we're waiting for their decision.
Real has a very interesting project for sure, I've seen them play. Jeffren also likes it, but of course he prefers to play in the first division. If a first division club shows interest, we have to analyze that offer. We nevertheless don't want to exclude any option. My son has a lot of offers at this moment, although things aren't moving now."

Second division? This is madness!
If anything Jeffren should go to any big club and take away the spots of that clubs curent winger. Go to inter, milan,juve,man U , Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern, anywhere but not SECOND division COme On!!! - 22 August, 2009
I don't believe Jeffren has the qualities to become a starter at any big club. He can surely play some minutes but it will take him some time to even become a starter. He would be perfect in any other club but I agree that a second division club wouldn't benefit Barcelona if they intend on keeping him.

"USADA seeks to strip Armstrong of his achievements and the substantial winnings that accompanied them without offering him even basic due process," Sensenbrenner said.
"USADA's authority over Armstrong is strained at best," Sensenbrenner said.
AND "California senators call for congressional review of USADA"
By VeloNews.com Published Sep. 5, 2012 Updated Sep. 13, 2012
"A group of California state senators has asked that state's two U.S. senators to request a review of the U.S. Anti-doping Agency, USA Today reported Tuesday night. The request follows USADA's decision to hand Lance Armstrong a lifetime ban after he refused arbitration in the U.S. Postal Service conspiracy case last month."
Americans clearly are justified in their concerns that USADA is not acting for the best interests of cycling. They are also justified to ask why their tax dollars are going to support this renegade organization.
The UCI has shot itself in both feet as it chose not to confront USADA and its true lack of due process and Statute of Limitations violations.
"The UCI accepted USADA's jurisdiction for the investigation, but questioned the legality of banning Armstrong after more than eight years and as far back as 1998, suggesting this does not follow the rules of the World Anti-Doping Agency's Code."
