Hoffman: Witness to last Beatles concert remembers
One time, I was on a Continental (remember them?) flight from New York to Dallas. My boarding pass said Seat 33B, near the back of the plane.
Sitting in Seat 33A was Tennis Hall of Fame player Mats Wilander.
I LOVE Mats Wilander. I pattern my whole ridiculous baseline game after him. I felt like saying to him, "You have no idea how unlucky you are, buddy. I'm sorry, but your life is going to be a miserable hell for the next three hours."
I unloaded every question I could think of. What kind of racket do you use? Why are you flying to Dallas? Why are you sitting in coach? What was it like playing John McEnroe at Wimbledon? Remember when you beat Ivan Lendl in five sets at the U.S. Open in 1988? That was awesome!
I thought he was going to jump out of the plane somewhere over Arkansas.
Last week I was feeling sorry for Ken Mansfield for the same reason. Back in the ' 60s, Mansfield was the U.S. manager of operations for Apple Records — the Beatles' record label.
On Jan. 30, 1969, the Beatles climbed to the rooftop of Apple headquarters at 3 Savile Row in London and gave their last live performance to the public. Only 12 or so people, other than the Beatles, were invited up on the roof for that historic event.
Mansfield was one of them.
I did a phone interview with him last week. Poor guy never knew what hit him. I made him re-live every moment of that 42-minute concert down to the barometric pressure. If you have a bootleg video of the concert, or click on YouTube for bits and pieces, that's Mansfield in the white coat between Yoko Ono and Ringo's wife (at the time), Maureen.
"The rooftop concert was put together so fast. I was with the Beatles before they came out on the roof. They were using one of the offices as a dressing room. They were talking about what songs they would do, in what order. When they came out, they had a startled look on their faces, like 'What have we got here?'
"For the first part of the concert, I'm sitting against a chimney. It was 1 p.m. We did it then because it was lunch hour and we wanted people in the street to hear them. It was freezing cold up there. We're talking about a six-story building, in January, in London, and there was a lot of wind.
"You can see me sitting with Maureen Starkey, Yoko and Chris O'Dell, who was the only other American up there. She's from Phoenix, and she was Paul McCartney's assistant."
(I know, Yoko was an American, too, but I didn't want to stop Mansfield from telling his story.)
"Later on during the concert, I was moving some stuff around, and you can see me standing against a wall with Kevin Harrington, who was an Apple staffer. It was so cold that John Lennon was shivering and George was having trouble playing because his hands were freezing. Here's something that I've never seen in any photos or videos of that concert. George had me light three or four cigarettes and just hold them so he could put the tips of his fingers near them for warmth.
"We knew the end of the Beatles was very near, but we didn't know this would be their absolute last performance. Something magical was happening, a part of music history. I would like you to look at their eyes. John and Paul are communicating with each other with looks. It's like they're saying, 'This is how we started. This is who we are.'
"When it was over, we all left, and nobody talked about what we just saw. It took us years to realize just how important that event was. Those of us who were up there that day have been bonded forever. It was so special we were there!"
On Sept. 16, Mansfield will be here as guest speaker at Come Together Houston, a celebration of the Beatles. The event is organized by Love Street, a charity that brings live music shows to young patients and their families at Texas Children's Hospital and Shriners Hospital for Children.
Come Together's night of music and memories starts at 7 p.m. in the Crystal Ballroom at the Post Rice Lofts (formerly the Rice Hotel), 909 Texas in downtown Houston. Three bands will perform hits from the ' 60s, Dayna Steele will be the fab host, and food will be provided by Mikki's Café. There will be an auction and all the usual charity gala stuff, except the clothes will be a lot more fun at this one.
Tickets are $100, which includes dinner. Tables start at $2,000. Click on www.cometogether houston.com for details.
Today's trivia: Canada hastwo official national sports. Hey, it's a big country. Hockey is the official winter sport. What is the official summer sport?
• By popular demand, the Houston Fringe Festival has added a third performance of Live Ate, the performance art piece by local poet and playwright Ken Jones. Live Ate is a one-act play about a U.S. promoter who stages a hot-dog eating contest in a starving nation in Africa. The contestants gorge themselves on franks and buns while the audience is dying from malnutrition and hunger. It's a little edgy, but I get the message.
Performances are 6:30 p.m. Friday, 8:30 p.m. Saturday and 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the Frenetic Theater on Navigation. Tickets are $10 at the door. There would be a certain irony if the audience threw tomatoes at the actors.
• You know me and food bargains. Now that I'm eating salads like a crazy man, I've been buying those bags of washed, prepared salads in supermarkets. I was getting the bags with "double carrots," but my personal Hollywood trainer (by email) Valerie Waters says carrots have too much sugar, and I should concentrate on less sugary vegetables.
Party pooper.
The salad bags usually cost around $2.79 to $3.29 in supermarkets.
The other day I needed a toilet plunger (totally different story) and went to the 99 Cents Only store. Whoa, they sell the same exact Dole salad bags for 99 cents - duh. Great, now I can eat three times as much.
• You know what I'm noticing a lot lately? Ads for doctors and lawyers … and they're posing next to a piano.
That's odd. I've never seen an ad for Barry Manilow in concert … and there's a stethoscope around Manilow's neck.
Trivia answer: lacrosse.
Listen to Ken on AM radio station 1560 "The Game" from 10 a.m. to noon on Wednesdays.

WTF is going on? Yet another gun has discharged and accidentally shot a child. It seems to be an epidemic lately. It's not bad enough we have to wait for some kid or some psycho to steal the family gun and purposely go on a shooting rampage, now we have to worry about guns just randomly discharging and killing our kids! When will people learn to keep their firearms locked up away from children?
Jarquise Upton of Chicago had a gun hidden between the mattresses of the bed. Mr. Upton's girlfriend's 5-year-old daughter (whew that's a mouthful) was jumping on the bed when the gun discharged, shooting the 5-year-old in the ankle. It could have been much worse. It could have shot her in the head.
When Mr.Upton was taken into custody he told the cops he kept the gun as "protection from my girl's baby daddy who messes with me." I'm guessing shooting Mr. Baby Daddy's daughter in the ankle is not going to make for a very happy ex baby daddy. Perhaps, Mr.Upton should invest in some karate classes?
When will people learn to keep their guns locked up safely in lock boxes? If you are a parent and you can't handle your gun responsibly, then perhaps you either shouldn't have the gun or shouldn't have the kids; your choice. Just choose where your priorities are already.
I know all of my gun-carrying friends will argue that guns don't kill people, people kill people and I agree. Stupid irresponsible people, who bear arms, kill people. I understand you've got a hard-on for your right to bear arms. I get that. But maybe there should be an IQ test, a responsibility test of some sort and definitely a psychological test before we pass out guns to random people off the street.
There are people who use guns responsibly; to hunt and protect themselves. These are also probably the same people who respect the power of a gun, who keep their guns locked up tight and teach their kids proper gun safety. These are not the stupid irresponsible people to whom I am referring.
Speaking of safety, why wasn't the safety on? Jumping on the bed is pretty risky business on its own -- where were the parents? Poor kid, she probably never knew what hit her. I bet she'll never jump on the bed again. Now, if we could only convince her mother to learn her lesson.
Do you think the right to bear arms entitles you to keep a loaded weapon within children's reach?

Grey Bruce was created by Mother Nature and we think she owned a motorcycle. Bound by Lake Huron to the West and Georgian Bay to the North, there is a ton of coastline to ride in Grey Bruce. Combine it with the Beaver Valley, Blue Mountain, Sauble Beach and the Bruce Peninsula, and you've got the perfect weekend ride with your crew within a few hours of Toronto.
When Grey Bruce was originally surveyed to have its roads built, the surveyors must have been thinking of motorcycles, too. Our County and municipal roadways are well surfaced and free of city traffic and attitude. They meander and criss-cross through river valleys, over the Niagara Escarpment, and along some of Canada's most beautiful shoreline. The shortest distance between two points may be a straight line – but we think twisty roads and long hills are way more fun.
Have a look over our quick access Ontario motorcyle riding routes to start planning your trip now.
Search our Grey & Bruce County Ontario Motorcycle website for cool things to see and do across the region. Browse our road maps for eateries, motorcycle friendly accommodators, and bike shops for all your bike needs. Request a FREE motorcycle touring kit (Travel Kit banner) on the right side of this page to be ready to hit the road this fall!
Check out some amazing videos and photos on the Ontario GoRide site! Also, make sure to check Bruce County Highways for road conditions across Grey and Bruce. Get your buddies together; don your leather and Ride Grey Bruce.

Ronnie Dunn Delivers Beautiful Rendition of the National Anthem at World Series Game 3
The scene of the World Series shifted from the chill of St. Louis to the much warmer confines of Texas last night. For Game 3 of the Fall Classic between the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals, country crooner Ronnie Dunn was called upon to sing he National Anthem, completing the trifecta of country artists singing the song for the first three World Series games.
Dressed in his signature all-black ensemble, Dunn hit each of the notes with pure power, much more so than his deeper-voiced and more low-key brethren Scotty McCreery and Trace Adkins. Dunn did not wear the same green World Series windbreaker that McCreery and Adkins each wore during their games. It was much colder in Missouri, anyway, and not needed on this warm Texas evening.
Dunn, who was born in the Lone Star State, sang without incident. The microphone worked and he didn't flub a single lyric. He did, however, alter the melody slight on "brave" at the end, and it was respectful and sounded good.
Nice job, Ronnie! You "dunn" good!

more info on the last parameter of cvCreateTrackbar, called onChange, here http://docs.opencv.org/modules/highgui/ ... 0on_change)
In the documentation for cvCreateTrackbar it says: for onChange:
"onChange – Pointer to the function to be called every time the slider changes position. This function should be prototyped as void Foo(int,void*); , where the first parameter is the trackbar position and the second parameter is the user data (see the next parameter). If the callback is the NULL pointer, no callbacks are called, but only value is updated."
im trying to convert the second code on this page to lisp http://opencv-srf.blogspot.com/2011/11/track-bars.html
...Im pretty sure i have all functions wrapped correctly but in theory create-trackbar could be wrong the last parameter in my wrapper is a defctype of :pointer type called cv-trackbar-callback
here is my attempt but i have no idea how to define a function as a pointer and ive tried alot of variations but is too long to post. The defun change contrast compiles btw...i tried using make-pointer to make the change-contrast function a pointer but make-pointer wants it to be a real...so cant use foreign-alloc i dont think because the function needs to be converted to a pointer first to use that...any guidance is appreciated
- Code: Select all
(defun change-contrast (&optional contrast img dest)
(if (< contrast 10) (scale img dest (/ 1 (coerce (- 11 contrast) 'double-float)))
(if (>= contrast 10) (scale img dest (- contrast 9))))

It was a bold old statement of Arsène Wenger's to suggest that it will do Arsenal good to compensate for Robin van Persie's goals by sharing the load around his newly assembled front line. His team rose to the challenge at the Boleyn Ground, with a first Premier League goal for Olivier Giroud and fine strikes from Theo Walcott and Santi Cazorla crowning a valuable away win.
Having suffered a setback last weekend with a performance against Chelsea that left Wenger complaining about a lack of personality, Arsenal responded with character. Confronted by an old nemesis in the shape of a Sam Allardyce team that backed them into an awkward corner by opening the scoring, the Gunners struck the right combination of force and finesse. They remain unbeaten away and continue to play some compelling football on the road.
For all the talk of the damage a direct approach could inflict on an Arsenal team that have crumbled at set pieces lately, West Ham struggled to load too much pressure on a side benefitting from the reintroduction of the assured Per Mertesacker. Although Andy Carroll was an imposing presence, the home team were unable to mount a sustained offensive. "You can never control him for 90 minutes, but we fought with him," Wenger said.
The selection of his own big target man – and it was Giroud's first league start for more than a month – ensured West Ham also had plenty to concern themselves with. The former Montpellier striker's all round contribution was impressive. Several attempts on target, a goal and an assist is no bad return for an evening's work.
With Arsenal even looking dangerous from the set piece, West Ham duly took the lead with some virtuoso skill. So much for stereotypes. In the 21st minute, George McCartney fed the ball to Mohamed Diamé, who powered into the box, leaving Aaron Ramsey in his wake, and bent the ball ferociously into the far corner of the net. It was a marvellously executed finish from the huge Senegalese, who celebrated his first goal for the club with such relish he was cautioned after throwing himself into the crowd. He can count himself lucky as, shortly afterwards, he recklessly careered late into Mikel Arteta, but the referee, Phil Dowd, elected not to reach for another card.
The goal knocked Arsenal out of their stride and it was the man who had been struggling most obviously for confidence who grabbed Arsenal by the scruff of the neck to get them back into the game. Giroud gathered the ball in midfield, arced a pass out to Lukas Podolski and sprinted in front of his marker to lash the return ball past Jussi Jaaskelainen. West Ham had opportunities to retake the advantage, with Kevin Nolan twice in shooting range and Carroll outjumping Vito Mannone, but neither player could quite find their range.
Both teams jostled for position after the break. West Ham had to readjust around the hour mark when Ricardo Vaz Tê dislocated a shoulder as he rashly challenged Mannone. Allardyce's initial assessment was an absence of between six to 12 weeks. Kieran Gibbs was another injury concern after suffering a thigh problem and is very doubtful for the England squad.
Walcott, who started on the bench yet again but came on to provide another example of why he yearns for a striking role, played a critical part in the comeback. Giroud's deft assist set the fleet-footed attacker bearing down on goal. The finish was instinctive and ruthless, as Walcott passed the ball beyond Jaaskelainen. Message received and understood? We'll see.
Allardyce was left frustrated. "The second goal was a killer because we were in a fantastic position to score at that stage. Because we picked up the wrong pass, we've opened ourselves up and they've severely punished us on the break," he conceded.
The clincher came from a player who has become integral to Arsenal. When Walcott found Cazorla with a flick, the Spaniard arrowed a brilliant, precision third from 25 yards out. Since the beginning of last season no player from Europe's top leagues has scored more often from outside the box than Cazorla. "He's taken the Premier League by storm," Walcott said. "He's fantastic to play with every day. He's our conductor. I don't even know what foot is his best to be honest." Either, or both, are proving to be a considerable weapon.

BALTIMORE, April 22 (UPI) -- U.S. adults who are overweight often say they avoid doctors because they are judgmental of their weight -- and U.S. researchers say they may have a point.
Dr. Kimberly A. Gudzune, an assistant professor at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and colleagues said the study involved 39 primary care doctors and 208 of their patients.
The study, published online in the journal Obesity, found patient weight played no role in the quantity of physicians' medical questions, medical advice, counseling, or treatment regimen discussions, but when it came to things like showing empathy, concern and understanding, the doctors were significantly more likely to express those behaviors in interactions with patients of normal weight.
Obese patients may be particularly vulnerable to poorer physician-patient communications, Gudzune said, because studies show that physicians may hold negative attitudes toward these patients. Some physicians have less respect for their obese patients, which might come across during patient encounters, the researchers said.
Bonding and empathy are essential to the patient-physician relationship.
"I hear from patients all the time about how they resent feeling judged negatively because of their weight," Gudzune said. "Yes, doctors need to be medical advisors, but they also have the opportunity to be advocates to support their patients through changes in their lives."

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — Josh Smith's days of playing before an ambivalent crowd at Philips Arena are numbered. If we're reading the trade deadline tea leaves correctly, he might even be down to his final 48 minutes there on Wednesday night when the Hawks host the Heat.
The Hawks' attempts to convince Smith to stick around until the summer, when he'd be a free agent, have not slowed a number of teams pursuing the versatile power forward.
In fact, the list of teams with reported interest in Smith seems to grow with every tick of the trade deadline clock. The Hawks have let it be known that they are willing to move the Atlanta native by Thursday's 3 p.m. ET deadline. And a player with his unique arsenal of skills can fit in any system.
The Brooklyn Nets, Washington Wizards, Milwaukee Bucks, Phoenix Suns, Boston Celtics, Houston Rockets and Philadelphia 76ers are all either in full-blown pursuit or monitoring the situation closely in the hopes of landing Smith via trade … or perhaps later via free agency. That leaves the Hawks in the position of being very selective with their decision, while also needing to act now. There will be fewer potential trade partners to work with in July, courtesy of the particulars of the new collective bargaining agreement.
The max-deal conversation that has raged for weeks was, like many things in the Twitter era, not fully understood by most of the people. They were simply repeating the stories of Smith and the Hawks agreeing to disagree about his value to the team that drafted him with the 17th pick overall in the 2004 Draft.
Smith never said he demanded a max deal or else from the Hawks. A source close to Smith confirmed that the conversation between the two sides never ventured into that realm. Smith simply answered a question the way you'd expect any competitive NBA player to answer it when presented with the premise of "Do you think you are worth max money?"
The funny thing is the Hawks, spanning two different front office regimes, have never really made clear what monetary value they have assigned to Smith. His current deal — he's in the final year of a five-year, $58 million contract — was one the Hawks had to match after the Memphis Grizzlies made a play for him as a restricted free agent in 2008. It's a bargain for a player who has been as productive as he has during that time.
Since basically his first season, Smith has been on the proverbial trade market every February. And the Hawks have drafted player after player (Marvin Williams, Shelden Williams, Al Horford) who were supposed to supplant Smith as the team's best option at his position. Yet Smith has been steady. For every knock on his game — the ill-advised jump shots no one wants him to take, the spotty decision-making and the well-publicized dust-ups with coaches Mike Woodson and Larry Drew — there are things Smith and only a handful of other players can do on a given night.
Two players in the entire league average better than 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Reigning league MVP LeBron James is one of them and Smith is the other. Smith is the only player averaging better than 17, 8, 4 and one block (he actually averages 2.1).
When the Hawks traded six-time All-Star Joe Johnson to the Nets last summer, the playoff forecast for the franchise changed dramatically. Smith and Horford were left to lead a team of good role players that few people expected to be among the Eastern Conference's best teams early this season.
There is a high probability that Hawks fans who have grown disenchanted with Smith's game over the nearly nine years he's played before hometown crowds. That throng will get their wish and see him move on. It's up to Hawks general manager Danny Ferry to sort through the mess and find the right deal (with the most assets — players, draft picks, etc. — they can get for their best player).
And all indications are that's exactly what he'll do by Thursday's deadline.
Report: Kobe OK with Dwight deal | Clippers open to Bledsoe deal | A sensible Big Al trade | Report: Agent dismisses Redick talk | Hornets' Gordon ignoring trade chatter
What would the trade deadline be without at least a little crumble from the season-long Dwight Howard–Kobe Bryant drama? Per a Fox Sports Ohio report, Bryant has let Los Angeles Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak know that he's fine with trading Howard (never mind that Kupchak has made it clear that the has no plans to move the big fella):
With 29 regular-season games remaining and the playoffs still in sight, Kobe Bryant is more determined than ever to prove he and the Lakers can become the force they thought they were.
Whether center Dwight Howard is a part of that attempted revival doesn't matter to Bryant, sources familiar with Bryant's thinking told FOX Sports Ohio.
Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak has strongly nixed the notion that Howard could be moved prior to Thursday's trading deadline. But if Kupchak changes his mind, he'd have Bryant's full support, according to sources.
While Bryant and Howard aren't close, no rift exists between them, either. Still, Bryant appears uncertain if Howard is the right fit on a team that must put together a fervent finish just to qualify for the postseason — and one that is unlikely to possess home-court advantage in any round if it does get there.
The Lakers exited the All-Star break at an underachieving 25-29 and 3½ games out of the final playoff spot.
Optimists will point to the fact they've won eight of their previous 12 games. But they lost 125-101 to the Clippers on the final night before All-Star weekend — in a game that resembled little more than 48 minutes of garbage time.
But are they really ready to deal their backup point guard Eric Bledsoe? Ken Berger of CBSSports.com examines whether or not the Clippers are just posturing or serious about doing something:
Though it's all but a foregone conclusion that Chris Paul will re-sign with the Clippers this summer, rival execs are skeptical that the Clips would risk trading Bledsoe if there's even the slightest doubt about CP3's future — not to mention the slightest possibility of an injury to the All-Star MVP that would derail their push to contend for a title this season. Conversations with the Celtics about Kevin Garnett are dormant for now as both teams evaluate their options.
During the crazy season that is the weeks and days leading up to the trade deadline there are rumored deals that makes sense and deals that make anything but sense. Chris Sheridan of Sheridanhoops.com sports his GM camp and came up with five deals that he believes make sense, this Jazz-Spurs swap being the most interesting:
Why it Makes Sense for Utah: They will lose Jefferson for nothing this summer if he leaves as a free agent, and they have a capable starting center in Enes Kanter who is ready to move into a bigger role. They are not fooling themselves into thinking they are a championship contender this season, and they get a return on Jefferson along with a point guard to keep the playmaker seat warm until Mo Williams is ready to return. Kanter/Splitter ain't bad at center for the next five years. If they do a Paul Millsap deal, too, they trade him for their future PG.
Why it Makes Sense for San Antonio: They upgrade at center from Splitter, whose game has improved considerably, and they get a center whose defensive shortcomings are well-chronicled but can be fixed with the proper prodding from the proper coach, Gregg Popovich. They strengthen what is already the best team in the West, and they get the payoff they were after since the day they hired Scott Layden away from the Jazz to be their assistant GM. They also make a deal with their "incestuous" buddies (explained in the link).
Will It Happen? I lean 60-40 in favor of yes. Jazz can't lose Jefferson for nothing, and GM Dennis Lindsey was in Spurs' front office when they got Lorbek's rights from Pacers in George Hill deal. Lorbek is good.
Both Sheridan and Alex Kennedy of HoopsWorld have mentioned the Knicks and Magic having discussions about a potential Iman Shumpert for J.J. Redick deal. But those rumors are being disputed by Shumpert's agent, Happy Walters, who told CBS New York that it's all much ado about nothing:
On Monday, Walters, disputed a report from Chris Sheridan of Sheridanhoops.com, which stated the 22-year-old was unhappy with his role and may be pushing for a trade.
"For the record, no one has requested an Iman trade from the Knicks. The report from Chris Sheridan is incorrect," Walters tweeted. "@sheridanhoops needs to check facts before reporting. As Iman's agent, you would think I would get a call fact checking a report. Really?"
Walters also said Shumpert's reported unhappiness with the Knicks was "Totally false."
Walters isn't the only one refuting those Knicks-Magic trade reports. Redick told the Orlando Sentinel's Josh Robbins that the Magic are open to re-signing him, despite persistent rumors that they are shopping their veteran sharpshooter:
Redick said Magic general manager Rob Hennigan has told him that the team is "open" to re-signing him when he becomes a free agent this summer. Hennigan has stayed in touch with Redick and with Redick's agent, Arn Tellem, in recent weeks.
"But this is a business. I have to make a business decision. And I know this from experience, regardless of any personal feelings or any emotional attachment to anything, a team is going to do what they feel is best for the team. And there won't be any hard feelings if I get traded in three days or if they elect not to re-sign me this summer."
Of course, plenty of time remains before the trade deadline arrives, and a deal for Redick or any of the Magic's other veteran players still could be put together.
Hennigan, who rarely discusses team personnel issues publicly, has declined opportunities to comment about the team's plans.
Redick is trying not to think about the possibility that Tuesday night will be his final home game as a member of the Magic.
"You're dealing with another hypothetical," Redick said. "I think that the right thing to do is to assume that I'll be playing here for the Magic on Saturday night against Cleveland."
Eric Gordon has been here before, in the trade rumors crosshairs, and felt the sting of being dealt. The Clippers moved him to get their hands on Paul. He also signed an offer sheet with the Suns last summer, only to have the Hornets match the offer. So hearing his named tossed around is just a part of the process for the veteran shooting guard, as he explained to Jimmy Smith of the Times-Picayune:
"For any player that goes from team to team, whatever the situation is, it's all about playing basketball. And it's good to represent whatever organization you're in. I'm here. And I look forward to being here. That's that. Our team is building as one. And we'll see what goes on from here.
"I'm not really worried about it," Gordon said. "I've just got to go out and play my game and look forward to this week. Whatever happens, happens. It's happened to be before where I was traded. Business is business. I really don't worry about that. I'm just focused on this team."
That's what everyone says in the final days/hours before the deadline.
What else can they say?

Spain Ratchets Up Anti-Piracy Laws To Even More Ridiculous Levels: Criminal Penalties For Linking To Infringing Works
from the going-in-the-wrong-direction deptIf you may recall, for a while, Spain had some of the most reasonable copyright laws around. The country properly recognized that it didn't make sense to blame service providers for the actions of their users, rejecting lawsuits against a number of online services. Of course, this pissed off the legacy entertainment companies who had the US government hand the Spanish government a law that the companies authored, and then put tremendous pressure on the Spanish government to pass the new law. The public outcries were quite strong -- as even the head of the Spanish Film Academy quit to protest the bill -- and the law was initially voted down, as economists explained how bad it would be for the economy. Of course, with continued US pressure and threats of economic retaliation, a brand new government rushed through approval of the bill at the beginning of 2012.
Now that the US and the legacy entertainment companies knew that the Spanish government could be so easily pushed around, they waited barely a year before demanding even more draconian changes. And, it looks like they got them. New measures were put in place that will include the potential of criminal penalties including up to six years in prison for linking for "direct or indirect profit." Indirect profit? That means if you have a site with ads on it, and you happen to link to infringing materials, watch out.
I was in Spain a few months ago, talking with various industry and government officials about the state of the entertainment industry and copyright law -- and it was disappointing. While a number of other countries I've visited have had rather open minds on these issues, many in Spain seemed to view everything through the prism of the country's wider economic problems, and they wanted to blame so much of it on copyright infringement. There was an unfortunate level of blindness. I spoke with one exec from a company offering a video game platform, who argued that examples of success stories via innovation (rather than stronger enforcement) I talked about elsewhere didn't apply in Spain, because the population was smaller than the US, and because Spain's language was Spanish. This seemed extra strange to me, considering that guy was sitting next to someone from Spotify -- an innovative music service that came out of Sweden, a country one-fifth the size of Spain, and whose language is only spoken in that country (as opposed to Spanish -- which is the world's second most spoken language, and actually ahead of English -- but behind Chinese).
It really just felt like the wider economic situation in Spain, with super high unemployment, just had many industry folks effectively "giving up" on innovating, and hoping that some new law would magically save them. Those kinds of situations lead to these sorts of bad laws. They won't magically make people buy. They likely will lead to dangerous lawsuits and rulings against people who most of the general public won't think did anything wrong. That doesn't help the traditional industry at all.

We cater to athletes doing endurance type events, including triathlons, marathons, and endurance cyclist/Mountain Bikers.
The majority of our customers are non professional athletes, as opposed to professional athletes.
They tend to purchase our products for major events, and for the months of training leading up to the event.
We're picturing a fixed width, two column layout, optimized for 1024 sized screens.
We'd like a header area at the top containing our logo & a banner image, with a horizontal menu under that. The footer should contain a copyright notice, sitemap link & some page links.
That's just our initial idea - if you come up with something better, we're open to it.
We'd like a sidebar, which we intend to hold some product thumbnails, Facebook & Twitter icons, newsletter signup form, Sponsored Athlete graphic, and useful links.

We need to have some focus on the newsletter signup form, as one goal is to grow our subscriber base. So please make that element attractive.
We'll need something visually appealing, with a well-organised layout to display our information/content.
Colours should be consistent with the current logo – we're keen for a clean type of design.
Main navigation bar will have: Home, Why Hammer, Products, Blog, Info Centre, About Us, Contact. Please show one item with dropdown links visible.
The content column should have the page heading, followed by text including bullet points, links, and floating images.
The design should be for our homepage. We would like the header, sidebar, and footer to be consistent between all pages.
The homepage should have three major elements in the homepage column. Firstly, we would like a box for static content. This will contain a welcome heading and a paragraph or two of text. You can float an image in here if you wish.
Next is a product showcase. This should be a scrolling line of product images. Example, showcase here: http://www.australianwardrobedesign.com.au
