The All Around Rifle Caliber HH 375
Dear fellow hunters.
Take some time, and read these comments, check out the ref webpage. Who can disagree ?
Ref: .375 H&H Magnum Page
"Considering all animals, without a doubt the all around rifle must belong to the .375 H&H." -- Mike LaGrange, Ballistics in Perspective (2d Ed.), PHS Publishing (1990), p. 49.
"This cartridge and rifle was definitely designed for the 'one-rifle' man; it's the only weapon that has ever been definitely designed as an 'all-around' rifle for the man who cannot afford or does not want to be bothered with a number of different weapons, and yet who wants to shoot a wide variety of animals. There is no other rifle on the market with which such a wide variety of different species of big game, from the largest to the smallest, can be killed equally satisfactorily. Its three different weights of bullet are all most deadly on the type of game for which they were intended, and at the ranges at which such animals are normally shoot." -- John "Pondoro" Taylor, African Rifles and Cartridges, Safari Press (1994), Chp. V, "The Medium Bores," p. 131 (emphasis in original).
"There is no other rifle in existence of which so much can be said as it can of the .375 Magnum." -- John "Pondoro" Taylor, African Rifles and Cartridges, Safari Press (1994), Chp. VII, "An All-Around Rifle," p. 204 (referring to a .375 Magnum double rifle made by Holland & Holland).
"I am giving this rifle ['Holland's .375 Magnum'] a chapter to itself because I honestly think that it deserves it, it is so far ahead of any of its contemporaries . . . " -- John "Pondoro" Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, Safari Press (1993), Chp. VIII.
"There is no other weapon in existence of which so much can be said; and when it is further remembered that the rifle can be obtained as double, single and magazine, so that all tastes are catered for and all types of shooting considered; it must surely be admitted that here is, indeed, a weapon which every man - or woman - wanting a rifle must at least consider."-- John "Pondoro" Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles , Safari Press (1993), p. 98-99.
"I know, from using the rifle myself, that the .375 magnum can safely be taken against any animal anywhere in Africa."-- John "Pondoro" Taylor, Big Game and Big Game Rifles, Safari Press (1993), p. 103.
"Indeed . . . the .375 may not have a place in every safari battery today. But whether in .375 H&H or some other configuration, the .375-bore remains what it was nearly 80 years ago - the single most useful rifle any African hunter could carry." -- Craig Boddington, Safari Rifles , Safari Press (1990), p. 53.
"The actual necessity for a .375 H&H - or any cartridge of similar or greater power - is quite limited in North America. Brown bear, polar bear, the largest of the interior grizzlies, just perhaps bison, and you've said it all. However, unlike the shorter-ranged and much harder-kicking .416s and larger calibers, the .375 H&H is both shootable and versitale."-- Craig Boddington, American Hunting Rifles, Safari Press (1995), p. 142.
For Alaskan Brown Bears, the "[b]est of all, to my mind, remains the 1912-vintage .375 H&H. It has the reach if you need it - but, and this is more important, it has the knockdown power for close-range work."-- Craig Boddington, American Hunting Rifles, Safari Press (1995), p. 366.
"The beauty of the .375 H&H is simple: you can take every animal on earth with the caliber without ever being over- and only rarely undergunned." -- Peter Hathaway Capstick, Safari: The Last Adventure, St. Martin's Press (1984), p. 97.
"The .375 was, and is, the legal minimum for dangerous game in several countries and still remains the one outstanding choice for the hunter who wants a rifle that works well on everything from little gazelles to five-ton elephants. My .375 has done exactly that, in addition to having given quite satisfactory results on the 48 buffalo taken with it . . ." -- Finn Aagaard, Aagaard's Africa, National Rifle Association of America (1991), p. 80.
"[I]f I could have two cartridges to hunt the world, I'd be quite happy with the .30-06 and the .375 H&H. And if I could have just one cartridge to hunt the world over, my only answer is the .375." -- Craig Boddington, "Classic Hunting Cartridges: .375 Holland & Holland Magnum," Petersen's HUNTING, June 1995, p. 43 (emphasis in original).
"The .375 is one of my real enthusiasms in big-game cartridges. If I were going to hunt all over the world and could use only one rifle, it would be the .375. If I could have only two, one would be a .375 and the other would be a .270." -- Jack O'Connor, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, Outdoor Life (1961).
"As much as I like the .375, I have never seen much use for it in North America, except for hunting the big Alaskan brown bear. However, if anyone wants to use it on elk, moose or grizzly, I am not going to take exception. It is a hard-hitting, flat-shooting cartridge, for which I have scored a higher percentage of one-shot, in-the-tracks kills on medium to large soft-skinned game than with any other cartridge." -- Jack O'Connor, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, Outdoor Life (1961).
"My own .375 is a Model 70 Winchester restocked in French walnut by Griffin and Howe and equipped with a Kollmorgen 2.75x Bear Cub scope on the Griffin and Howe side mount. It also has a Lyman No. 48 receiver sight and the factory front sight. If I want to use the scope, I simply slip out the slide of the 48, slip on the scope, and vice versa." -- Jack O'Connor, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, Outdoor Life (1961).
"[The .375] has enough power in a pinch for elephants and rhinos, yet it shoots flat enough for mountain hunting. Up to 250 yards, there is so little difference in the point of impact with the two bullet weights that I am not a good enough shot to be able to determine by group which bullet I am shooting." -- Jack O'Connor, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, Outdoor Life (1961).
"Incidentally, the published velocity figures for the .375 check out exactly on the chronograph with factory ammunition, which is by no means true of all factory-made cartridges." -- Jack O'Connor, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, Outdoor Life (1961).
But the queen of the medium bores is the .375 H&H Magnum, one of the world's most useful and widely distributed cartridges, and probably the best all-around cartridge ever devised." -- Jack O'Connor, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, Outdoor Life (1961).
"And there isn't any doubt that a good big gun is better than a good little gun - if it's properly handled." -- Jack O'Connor, The Complete Book of Rifles and Shotguns, Outdoor Life (1961).
"You also don't need anything bigger, but if you happen to own a .375 H&H you've got a pretty good black bear gun . . . for any black bear that walks." -- Craig Boddington, "Big Bear Guns," Petersen's HUNTING, February 1998, p. 29, 56.
"Chances are equally good, however, that next time I try for a brown bear I'll go right back to where I started and carry a .375 H&H. The good old .375 is the classic brown-bear caliber and with good reason. It will stop a charge if necessary, and if necessary it will also make 200-yard shots with ease. And although it's been very good for 85 years now, it's better than it ever was thanks to superb new bullets like the Swift A-Frame, Trophy Bonded Bearclaw, Barnes X and Winchester Fail-Safe. If you have a .375, you have your brown bear rifle." -- Craig Boddington, "Big Bear Guns," Petersen's HUNTING, February 1998, p. 58.
"When asked my choice for a survey [about what is the "all around rifle"], my answer was the .338 Winchester Magnum, provided we're talking about North America and we include the big bears. Exclude the big bears and the simple answer is the .30-06, just like it has been since 1906. Throw in the rest of the world and the only sensible answer is the .375 H&H, just like it has been since 1912." -- Craig Boddington, "Big-Game Rifles," Petersen's HUNTING, April 1998, p. 53.
"Brown Bear: The brown bear is just an overfed grizzly. He gets much bigger, and he is usually hunted in closer cover. The .375 H&H is the rifle, period." -- Craig Boddington, "Big-Game Rifles," Petersen's HUNTING, April 1998, p. 56.
"For an octogenarian, the .375 Holland & Holland Magnum gets around right well. Other cartridges are decidely superior for most any specific big-game hunting assignment. But if you balance lethality against ranging capability, and factor in tolerable recoil, the .375 H&H (a.k.a. .375 Belted Rimless Magnum and .375 Belted Rimless Nitro Express) does more jobs better than any single round we have. It is arguably the most broadly effective cartridge in the entire history of sporting firearms. If internationally experienced hunters were asked to vote on one cartridge for all-around use, the .375 would win by a landslide." -- G. Sitton, "Reloads: The .375 H&H Magnum," Petersen's Big Book of Cartridges, Vol. 1, p. 84.
"As an all-around African cartridge for a hunter who wants the convenience of transporting only one rifle, there is still no better choice than the .375 H&H. It really will do it all. . . . I would use it for most purposes, including at least the first shot on a buffalo and would reserve solids for elephant and for following up wounded buffalo. . . . Almost any hunter, I believe, can learn to tolerate the recoil of a .375 H&H, at least for the few shots normally fired in the field. Anyone who cannot do so has no business hunting buffalo." -- Finn Aagaard, "One Rifle - One Load," Rifle, No. 171 (May-June 1997), p. 22.
"The .375 H&H is well liked as a back-up gun by Alaskan brown bear guides and would make a splendid all-around choice for hunting anything in big bear country, though I am not sure everyone would like to pack one up a sheep mountain." -- Finn Aagaard, "One Rifle - One Load," Rifle, No. 171 (May-June 1997), p. 22.
"For my big rifle, I can unequivocally recommend a stout bolt action in .375 H&H Magnum.
That was easy wasn't it." -- Ron Spomer, "The All-Around Rifle Battery," Rifle, No. 158 (March-April 1995), p. 50.
"I do not mean to denigrate the .375 H&H [as not being the only true African rifle]; quite the contrary. I think it is arguably the finest all-around big game cartridge ever designed. If I could have but one rifle for all African hunting, I would without any hesitation choose a .375 H&H." -- Finn Aagaard, "Cartridges for Africa - The Reality," Rifle, No. 170 (March-April 1997), p. 17.
"If I had to choose only one rifle to use the rest of my life, I'd take the .375 Holland & Holland." -- John M. Taylor, "Hunting Loads: The Regal .375 H&H," American Hunter, Vol. 25, No. 10 (October 1997) .
". . . I believe the .375 is the round most frequently recommeded by professionals for clients wanting to do all of it [African hunting] with one rifle." -- G. Sitton, "A Winning Pick Six!," Guns & Ammo, June 1998, p. 62.
"In North America, the .375 is an excellent cartridge for bad brown bears (white ones, too). . . . For mature bull elk and moose, especially in the timber, the .375 is by no stretch too much." -- G. Sitton, "A Winning Pick Six!," Guns & Ammo, June 1998, p. 62.
"Discovering [the .375's] capacity for dual use has been great fun, and rewarding. Not only is this rifle's power legendary, but also its destructiveness is frequently less than that of a high-velocity small-bore, especially for those hunters who prefer steaks and loin chops to hamburger." -- Ken Waters, "Update: .375 H&H Magnum Pet Loads," Handloader, No. 200 (August 1999), p. 50.
"A .470 H.V. would be very useful in the Himalayas, although somewhat heavy, and a .375 Magnum would be a very serviceable weapon in the jungles. In fact, this last seems to more nearly approach the ideal all-around weapon than any other. With 235 grain bullet it is perfection for the hills and the comparatively heavy bullet of 300 grains with its high velocity would deal a tremedous blow at close quarters." -- S.R. Truesdell, The Rifle: Its Development for Big-Game Hunting , Safari Press (1992), p. 169.
"The caliber .375 H&H Magnum is....a wonderful cartidge for use on elk, moose, bear, or the heavy artic game. In a factory make rifle and load, the .375 H&H Magnum in the Model 70 Winchester, Model 700 Remington, the
Browing, Sako, etc., is one of the finest all around rifles and cartridges." -- Elmer Keith, Hunting Big Game, Peterson Publishing Company (1965), Chapter Two, "Timber And All Around Rifles," pp. 37-38.
"It (the .375) handles anything from small deer to the heaviest bear or moose. I have used the .375 Holland and
Holland Magnum on a great deal of game with good results." -- Elmer Keith, Hunting Big Game, Peterson Publishing Company (1965), Chapter Three, "Stalking Rifles," p. 53.
"Due to the fact that .375 H&H magnum ammunition is available all over the world, the .375 H&H becomes a very good choice of a plains rifle for Africa. I found that many of the 17 white hunters regularly employed by White Hunters Limited of Niarobi used a .375 for their medium rifle, and most all of them considered it ideal." -- Elmer Keith, Safari, Safari Pulications (1968), p. 136.
[Note: The chapter title this quote is from is called "The All Purpose Rifle"] "In my opinion, if you envisage some open-plains hunting, this strengthens the case for the .375 H&H. It may seem ironic that, in a book about rifles for Africa in the twenty-first century, the .375 H&H is still being recommended as an all-rounder. Some of today's hunters can't help feeling ill at ease about using a cartridge that was introduced as long ago as 1912 - it seems to offend their sense of technological progress. But the fact remains that there isn't much that can beat the .375 H&H as an all-rounder if you take all factors into account, including recoil, carry weight, and the major advantage that ammunition is readily available. Furthermore, the availability of 'heavy magnum' factory loads, which increase the velocity of the 270-grain and 300-grain bullets to an advertised 2,870 and 2,700 fps, respectively, now makes the .375 H&H about as versatile as you could want, if you don't mind the extra recoil." -- Gregor Woods, Rifles for Africa, Safari Press (2002), Chapter 24, "The All Purpose Rifle," pp. 323-325. Please note that there are so many references to the various uses of the .375 H&H Magnum in this book, I only picked the quote that seemed to best sum up the caliber.
"Few who have a great deal of hunting experience with the .375 H&H Magnum will disagree when I describe it as one of the most useful big-game cartridges ever developed. The .375 delivers far more power than is needed for most North American game, and it is a but shy on bullet diameter in times when some of the heavier African game have to be taken under the worst of conditions, but the fellow who decides to hunt all over the world with one rifle can do a lot worse than choosing the .375 H&H Magnum. . . . I can think of no big-game animal presently residing anywhere in this world that I would not tackle with a rifle in .375 H&H Magnum." -- Layne Simpson, Rifles and Cartridges for Big Game, Safari Press (2003), pp. 241-242.

Having just returned from Safari I can't agree more. The .375 was my go to gun the whole trip, and the 30.06 I took became the longshot rifle on the trip. Everything I shot "properly" with the 375 was anchored to the spot.

My CZ 550 in 7x57 is adequate in open country for everything up to large elk, which is the biggest game animal I ever intend to shoot. It shoots 0.5" groups at 100 yards out of the box, and launches 0.625 BC A-Max bullets a long way without much recoil. However, if I ever need a survival rifle to stash in an airplane or 4WD, it will be the .375 H&H and the rifle will probably be a CZ safari type with low power scope. I have no intention of hunting big bears and such, just stopping them if they ever decide to hunt me. But considering I hunt open country and have no interest in dangerous game, I can't view it as a hunting rifle for me. I do want a bush plane in my future, and I will need a rifle that can handle anything if I go down in the wilderness. I gave up the gun nut collecting hobby sometime back, and everything I own is a "do everything" rifle within its bore class. The FAL is my current dangerous game rifle, not because of immense stopping power but because of functionality in an emergency situation that no bolt gun possesses.....meaning that its self loading capability far surpasses any human in speed and reliability.

I was wondering if anyone had a reliable formula for adjusting factory advertised muzzle velocity for shorter barrels
I was thinking (like I need to stop doing that) that a handy little 375 with a 20" barrel and topped with something like one of those holo sights might be a really nice "truck gun" for those evening rides down the pasture.
I love the cartridge, there are 4 in the rack and 2 belong to my daughters so its kind of a family staple
So, anyone have a thought?"He even took the gramophone on safari. Three rifles, provisions for a month and . . . . Mozart"

Since factory advertised or loading manuals velocities seldom equal claims, its a tail-chasing proposition. The only way to know your velocities is via the chrono.

So you are saying I need to have the rifle built first and then chrony it to see where I am?

sestoppelman is right the only way to know the speed is to chrony your shots and a chrony is cheap enough I got mine new for $85. I would suggest though that when you have the rifle built if you want a shorter barrel use a stocker short barrel rather then having a factory thinner barrel cut down, the reason being with the shorter stocky barrel will help to eliminate the vibration in the barrel so as not to sacrifice accuracy same purpose for putting a limb saver on a longer rifle barrel to absorb the vibration.Enjoy life now -- it has an expiration date.

Hey Bob, don't worry about shooting those Alabama deer with the .375, I keep in practice over here in Texas shooting ours with my .416 Rigby......I get some awfully stange looks though....LOL

I love the Nook! Good food and beer. When I eat at other burger joints I compare them to the Nook.
Good, not great – Not nearly as good as expected...the cheese in the Juicy Nookie was a Velveeta/American type which was disappointing (cheddar would have been better!). The french fries were good.
This Place SUCKS!!!! – The most over rated place in town. Avoid this place like The Plague. Over priced nasty tasting food. Bad service. Two thumbs down. I have to make a star to post this review and it isn't even worth that .
Good casual chow – For a restaurant of this catagory and price, it is great. I had the juicy and it actually was, with lots of cheese. The fies (seasoned) are really good. Pricing is wonderful. Expect a wait for a table, but that is a good sign.
Food is awesome. Service isn't great. – The burgers here are fabulous. The service needs some work. They are always busy but it seems they only pay attention to people who are drinking. I always have to ask to get my soda refilled. On this occasion I ordered an appetizer and never received it. We really miss it as well they need to hurry and rebuild.
Don't waste your time – I've been here a number of times within the past year and the experience has been inconsistent, and mostly on the bad side. There's usually a really long wait to get seated, which I wouldn't mind, except I would expect something worth waiting for then. The burgers are pretty good, but if you ask for it done medium don't expect anything less than well done. On a recent visit we waited a 1/2 hour for the food and the fries were cold and soggy. The service is also very slow. On my last visit we had to catch the bus boy to ask him to get our waiter so we could pay.
I'm not going back. Go to Blue Door Pub instead.
For once a horrible burger – Every time I have been to the Nook, I have truly enjoyed the burgers that I have had. I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone. I have never had such a juicy delicious burger in my life.
the last time i went, on a Monday, 6/21/09, was the worst burger I have ever had. Not only was my burger dry and without cheese,(I had the new philly cheese burger) but my wife had her usual shwishmushroom burger and it was burnt and dry also. both burger buns were burnt black and were dry and had a mouth drying effect. I had a couple beers, but that sure didnt help.
I love the Nook and will never discourage people from going and enjoying the awesome burgers, but beware of the mid afternoon cook. we went at 2:30 in the afternoon and, well, cr@p. I love you Nook, but damn that last time I was there, it was horrible.
We LOVE it. – WE LOVE IT! Nookie Burger, buffalo chicken burger, awesome beers, great environment. Sigh... love it.
Best burgers in Minnesota – Hands down these are the best burgers in Minnesota. Loved the Paul Molitor. Plan on waiting for a table though. I have yet to visit the Nook and there is no wait. If you have a little patience, you will be rewarded with great burgers and fries. For a hearty appetite, order the Nookie Supreme!
Fantastic burger and french fry! – I love the juicy nookie with fried onions and fresh cut fries. LOVE! I also love the pizza here. I don't love the cramped room nor the atmosphere. Plus, it can take awhile to receive your food. FOR SURE the best burger in town.

This thread, to be honest. I'm with you. I like didn't even know that RRose was releasing anything until it popped in here.
Personally, I don't know of any website's that compile new/upcoming techno releases. I just follow labels and artists, dig through Discogs, search through What.cd, a few blogs/websites like Smoke Machine/TEA/FACT/RA, and a bunch of other smaller blogs that I 'like' on Facebook. It's just a matter of keeping up with the same watering holes. I would definitely attribute the lack of an aggregator to the sheer volume of releases, I mean there is too much shit coming out all the time.
Edit: And this thread helps too.
Yeah this thread is great. I also have a couple of close friends whose taste I trust. I would be all in for a website of that kind.
This one sounds great slowed down a bit. Found in Morphosis' FACT mix from a while back.
High hopes for Blawan's new EP. Buy it on wax here.
Why they hide their bodies under mah guhrage?
The guy is on fire atm. Incredible producer.
The fact that he hasn't made it stateside in ages concerns me. I smell visa problems; it certainly can't be for lack of interest on the part of US promoters.
Seems to be eliciting strong reactions both positive and negative.
Boiler Room. Christian Löffler on right now
2000 2100: Christian Löffler
2100 2200: Mano Le Tough
2200 2300: Tevo Howard
2300 0000: DJ Hell
0000 0100: Jimmy Edgar B2B Scuba
0100 0200: Cosmin TRG B2B Efdemin
And my <3 Mano is about to start!
I had a feeling you'd be excited :)
Christian Löffler had a great opener. Never heard of him before but definitely on my radar now.
Graah, the sound isn't working on my computer at work. Maybe he'll put it up on soundcloud.
Oooh this is nice. Looking forward to Cosmin TRG b2b with Efdemin. I fucking love Efdemin.
Boiler Room usually hosts the stream on their site afterwards. Mano the tough was solid.
Please let "Grim Rapist Techno" be the next hot upcoming thing.
^^ worth a listen.
also - new Peter Van Hoesen is srs bsns.
seeking counsel:
Andy Stott or a Peter Van Hoesen extended set on a much better system
which show wins ...
Who is the "rarer" of the two? In other words, who plays in the US less often? That would probably inform my decision the most, but that's probably not the answer you were looking for :P
Hasn't PvH played here twice in the last year? I didn't think he was very interesting last time, either.
Stott wins if rarity is the metric of greatest import.
But passing this up seems unthinkable
Attachment 8051
Yea, I just saw your post on the other thread. Plaslaiko is way more appealing to me than PvH.
Has Stott even played the west coast before? I guess it depends on whether you actually want to see him, or think he'll be back within the next few years?
Doesn't get more interesting, to my mind, than PVH. But different strokes and all that :). Could always sneak away for an hr of Stott if Future Perfect is nice about releasing set times in advance.
I keep forgetting how incredibly stacked that night is in SF, too. Good problem to have. :)
PvH vs. Andy Stott--two different styles of good bangin techno. Personally, I'd see Stott just because he's a bit rarer and I love the Modern Love library. Either way, you can't be mad at yourself at the end of the night.
Full disclosure: I did see PvH this year already but not on a proper system.
Yikes. A painful read but i found it oddly entertaining. These people haven't a clue.
One of the clowns interviewed in that piece took to twitter to voice his displeasure at the negative reaction of dance music "snobs" ... and Sherburne kindly put him in his place :)
I'm kind of bored of people trying to summarize edm scenes. The American conversation is especially dull. What people forget to delve into in details is the business end of things. You can go on for ages about the music but it doesnt matter.
That article was aggravating. I was particularly flabbergasted by the part where they try to legitimize their level of knowledge and experience with the club-dwelling side of the electronic music scene, by explaining how they have seen Skrillex and Tiesto in small clubs, not just stadiums.
The "snob" label concerns me, because I feel like they're throwing out the term snob to refer to a preference for a more 'elite' experience (rather than a perception of having 'better' taste in the actual music). Meaning, it seems like they think the EDM "snobbery" is about being able to make a claim most people cannot -- being able to claim you've been into a DJ/producer longer than others, seeing them at a smaller/private venue, having met/hanging out with said DJ. Just my take as it seems like people invariably respond to "snobs" with big talk about how they are friends with so-and-so or saw such-and-such cheesedick DJ at a private party before he was big. They don't seem to get that we're not impressed that they have seen Skrillex, whether at a 200 person venue or in 20,000 festival crowd, 3 years ago, or last month. It's like they think 'snobs' are only interested in music that is not yet popular, recognized... my take is that most of us who are into electronic music that would cause us to be labeled as "snobs" would be pretty happy to hear that music on the radio or be able to see those DJs booked at festival gigs... *shrug*
God. So many juicy awful quotes.
Dave Rene: Well, in Skrillex's case he did something sonically that's never been done, so that to me makes it very attractive to the mainstream from a sound design perspective. There are songs in there. A lot of dance music guys aren't making songs, but now that more and more and more musicians are actually getting into this game, songs are coming out of this which is why it's becoming attractive
I have sat through—and so has Dave I'm sure—many major label meetings where Skrillex is referred to as "the next Kurt Cobain," because of how people relate to him.
Dave Rene: Yeah, there started to really be some personality behind this music, some attitude and not a gay one.
Kathryn Frazier: And hopefully you'll be able to buy a big beach house somewhere in the middle.
Matt Rodriguez: That would be awesome.
Whoever played after Zedd, the guy got up on the table and raised his hands and to myself I'm like, "Hmm, Zedd didn't do that, this guy's having a better show," and to me that's just fucked and I hated that feeling. I don't know, it's definitely changing what a live show is, for better or worse. Personally I'd rather watch a jazz trio, but I don't know where I really land on that one.

What is a school bus "Danger Zone"?
The Danger Zone is a 10-foot-wide area on each side of a school bus and a 12-foot–wide area in front and back of the school bus. These areas are where children are in the most danger of being hit. Children should stay 10 to 12 feet away from the bus (or as far away as they can) to be out of the Danger Zone and never go behind the bus. They should take five giant steps in front of the bus before crossing so the driver can see them. Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
How safe is school bus transportation?
School bus transportation is one of the safest forms of transportation in the United States. Every year, approximately 440,000 public school buses travel approximately 4.3 billion miles to transport 23.5 million children to and from school and school-related activities. Between 1988 and 1998, there were about 416,000 fatal traffic crashes in the United States. Of those, only 1,265 were classified as school bus-related. (NHTSA) Riding an Alabama school bus you are much less likely to be involved in a collision than riding in any other type of vehicle. If involved in a collision, you are much less likely to suffer an injury. School buses are involved in only 3/10 of one percent of all Alabama accidents. Alabama school bus drivers are among the best trained in the United States. State law requires all drivers to hold a Commercial Driver License (CDL) and an Alabama School Bus Driver Certificate. State and Federal laws require background checks and random drug testing for bus drivers. Alabama school buses are among the safest and best maintained in the country. Under Alabama law, school buses are inspected monthly by local system personnel and annually by state school bus inspectors employed by the Alabama Department of Education. Nationally, a school bus is 172 times safer than a passenger car, 8 times safer than a passenger train or scheduled airline, and 4 times safer than a transit bus.
What is a school bus-related crash?
A school bus-related crash involves, either directly or indirectly, a school bus-type of vehicle, or a vehicle functioning as a school bus, transporting children to or from school or school-related activities. (NHTSA)
Do all school buses have safety belts?
No. Rather than requiring safety belts, the NHTSA decided that the best way to provide crash protection for children on a school bus is through a concept called "compartmentalization." Compartmentalization provides a safety zone by using strong, closely spaced seats, energy-absorbing seat backs, and padding to protect school children if a crash occurs. Additionally, school buses must conform to other stringent safety standards required by the federal government and the State of Alabama. In addition to compartmentalization requirements, these standards include requirements for rollover protection, joint and roof strength, fuel system integrity, and a host of other safety features. Since statistically more injuries occur outside the school bus, not inside the bus, the Federal Government has not set a standard or guideline supporting the use of seat belts.
What is the maximum number of children that can safely sit on a school bus seat?
Federal regulations do not specify the number of children that can safely sit on a school bus seat. However, in determining the maximum seating capacity of a school bus, school bus manufacturers base their determination on seating three small elementary school-age children on a typical 39-inch school bus seat. (NHTSA)
What can motorists do to help ensure the safety of students riding school buses?
For 23.5 million students nationwide and 374,000 Alabama students, the school day begins and ends with a trip on a school bus. Students' greatest risk is not in riding the bus, but in getting to the bus or entering or leaving it. Motorists need to be aware of the risks. (NHTSA) Follow these safety steps: · When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children walking or bicycling to school. · When driving in neighborhoods with school zones, watch for children traveling to school. They are unpredictable in their actions, and it is your responsibility to anticipate and react to what they might do. · Drive slowly. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. · Watch for children playing and gathering near school bus stops. · Be alert. Children arriving late for a school bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic. · Never pass on the right side of a school bus where children enter or exit. This is illegal. · Learn the flashing light system that school bus drivers use to alert motorists about stopping: o Yellow flashing lights mean the bus is preparing to stop and load or unload children. Motorists need to slow down and prepare to stop. o Red flashing lights and an extended stop arm mean the bus has stopped and children are boarding or exiting the bus. Motorists must come to a complete stop a safe distance from the bus and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the stop arm is retracted, and the bus begins moving before they start driving again.
How many school buses are in operation in Alabama?
Approximately 9,000 buses are used by Alabama's public school systems. On average, 10 - 20% of these buses are spares. Most of these buses are 71-72 passenger vehicles with diesel engines, automatic transmissions and weigh approximately 13-15 tons.
How many students ride Alabama buses?
Over 374,000 students ride Alabama buses to and from school each day, traveling over 442,000 miles. This calculates to over 67 million student riding annually and traveling approximately 80 million miles.
Are buses retired after a certain time?
There is no requirement to "retire" school buses after so many years in the state of Alabama. However, most school systems remove their buses from regular service after about ten years. The Alabama Fleet Renewal Program provides local school systems funding for each school bus in their fleet that is ten years old or less. This funding is provided for a maximum of ten years. Over 96% of Alabama's school buses are ten years old or less.
How can I find out the safety record for school buses in my school system?
All school systems can provide accident information on their school buses. Contact the local transportation supervisor. Additionally, the Alabama Department of Education maintains records on accidents involving school buses.
What training is offered to bus drivers?
Training for new school bus drivers is provided by each local school system. School systems screen and train potential drivers after which the driver must attend a twelve-hour school bus driver class conducted by the SDE. During this class drivers receive additional training from the Alabama School Bus Driver Handbook provided by SDE instructors. Drivers must successfully complete a written test and performance test following this class to receive an Alabama School Bus Driver Certificate. Drivers must also complete four hours of SDE training annually in order to maintain their certification. Additional in-service training is provided each year by local school systems.
Why should students take Driver Education?
There are many advantages to taking an Alabama State Department of Education (SDE) approved Driver Education class. First and foremost would be the opportunity for a teenage driver to begin the quest to become a knowledgeable and responsible driver. An approved driver education course will consist of 30 hours of in-class instructions on a wide variety of topics. These include: · Highway License Requirements · Traffic Laws · Responsible Vehicle Ownership · Basic Driving Procedures and Maneuvers · Factors Related to Youthful Drivers · Physical and Mental Impairments · Interaction with Other Highway Users · Driving in Different Environments and Under Varied Weather Conditions · Boating Safety Additionally, the driver education class offers actual driving experience under the supervision of a certified driver education instructor. The Behind-The-Wheel phase of driver education is a performanced-based evaluation of the following skills: · Pre-start procedures · Basic car control · Right and left turns · Turnabouts, particularly the 3-point turnabout that is a part of the driver's license test. · Parking maneuvers · Entering and exiting freeways (where available) · Maneuvering through controlled and uncontrolled intersections · Passing, merging, and lane changing procedures · Driving in varied environments · Traffic observation with emphasis on the SIPDE (search, identify, predict, decide, execute) process and the Smith System As optional instruction some school systems offer driving simulation and multi-vehicle driving range. An added bonus of successfully completing an approved driver education course might be a reduction in automobile insurance. Many insurance companies offer discounts ranging from five percent up to 20 percent to students who successfully complete the course.
Is Driver Education offered at every high school?
Driver education is an elective class at high schools in Alabama. Schools that do not have an adequate number of students registering for driver education do not offer the course. Currently 98 percent of all school systems have driver education as a part of their high school curriculum.
Does a student have to have a learner's license in order to take driver education and receive behind-the-wheel instruction?
No learner's license is required for students who are: · enrolled in a state approved driver education program, · who are driving pursuant to an instructional program, and · accompanied by a certified driver education instructor. Students enrolled in a driver education course without a valid learner's license should meet minimum health standards to operate a motor vehicle as outlined on the application of an Alabama driver license.
What is the Graduated Drivers License law?
The Graduated Drivers License (GDL) law, Act No. 2002-408, became effective October 1, 2002. The law provides for certain restrictions on the issuance of drivers' licenses for persons under 18 years of age; to provide for restrictions on the operation of motor vehicles under certain conditions; to provide for the suspension of the driver's license of a person under age 18 who is convicted of certain serious traffic offenses or multiple traffic offenses. For a complete copy of the GDL please go the SDE Web site at www.alsde.edu, then to sections, on the pop-out menu go to pupil transportation and driver education, then click on publications.
How can an individual become a certified driver education instructor?
Since 1998, the SDE has offered preliminary certification courses in driver education. The prerequisite for this class is to already hold a valid Alabama teaching certificate in any field. The course consists of two, 40-hour classes of basic and advanced driver education. Once an individual successfully completes these courses and has a teaching position in driver education, the local school system's superintendent can request preliminary certification though the SDE's Teacher Certification Section. After the individual has satisfactorily taught driver education for two years in the same school system, the local school system's superintendent can request professional certification for that individual. A professional certificate, with a G-3 endorsement, would then be issued. The course is offered through universities throughout Alabama who award six graduate credit hours for the courses. The University of Montevallo also offers certification in Driver and Traffic Safety Education.
What is the Third-Party Testing program and how can a driver education instructor become certified for this program?
The Third-Party Testing program is in response to Act No. 2000-241 which allows driver education instructors to be a designated third-party testing agent of the Department of Public Safety (DPS) to administer the driving portion of the licensing exam. The SDE offers an eight-hour certification class that is taught at various sites throughout the state. Through this program, certified driver education instructors can become authorized to administer the driver license skills test. SDE will continually monitor the Third-Party programs for accuracy and reliability.
What is the 80/20 match program offered by SDE for driver education cars.
This is a program designed to aid school systems in providing vehicles for their driver education classes. In this program local school systems can apply for a grant. Upon approval they can then purchase a vehicle from the Alabama Department of Transportations' motor pool. Once purchased the local school system requests reimbursement for 80 percent of the total cost of the vehicle, and the SDE will then reimburse the local school system.

Any road bike in good condition of around 500cc or 600cc upwards will make this journey. (400cc pocket rockets would be the minimum) In France, bikers are less focused on one particular style of bike. You will see all sorts from trail bikes, to super motards, to sports bikes to low riders and cruisers right up to fully dressed tourers in these mountains. See 2002 line up in front of Mont Blanc (left), the highest mountain in Europe. Just ensure your bike has been serviced fairly recently, take out some recovery insurance, and check your tyres have enough rubber left for riding up to 2500 miles on hot Tarmac. (see section on Tyres to the right as this is important) For the journey down and back, you will need your usual all weather gear you would use in England. Once in the Alps, although you still some protective riding gear, you will be unlikely to need the multiple layers and heavy waterproof clothing you would need here in England.
Most bikes in previous years have ranged from sports 600s like CBRs, general all rounders (such as Bandits) through to large tourers such as FJRs, Pan Europeans and BMWs. We have even had the odd Cruiser! not the obvious choice for the mountains, but the guy did well, generating sparks on every hairpin. Bear in mind that once we are in Bourg, you can dump your luggage, and ride your bike without the bags on. So you do not necessarily need a true Touring bike capable of hauling vast amounts of gear day after day. I took my Firestorm in 2002, which was fantastic in the mountains, but the limited tank range was a bit embarrassing on the journey there and back. So I now use my trusty old FJ1200 or Bandit 1200. From 2004 and beyond, I have used my Fazer 1000.
We have had a disproportionate number of Triumphs on recent Alps trips (as in Edward's RS to the right). This kind of sports touring bike seems a great compromise between a hard edged sports bike and lardy tourer which becomes a handful in the twisties. In 2001, we took a couple of trail bikes down to the Alps, as well as road bikes. These were excellent fun, and just as useable in the mountains as the faster, pure road machines. If I get a firm commitment from guests on trail bikes or small road bikes, I will consider laying on a van to transport bikes down there. This will also serve as a back-up vehicle for spares and luggage. However, at the time of writing this update (December 2003) the 2004, 2005, and 2006 French trips are planned as road bike trips, without van support.

Sharkeisha Dead? Drive-By Shooting Report Spreads on Twitter, Debunked as Hoaxby Free Britney at . Updated at .
The rumored death of Sharkeisha, a Houston teen who punched and beat a classmate senseless in a video that went viral last month, was trending last night.
Not unlike allegations that Paul Walker faked his death, which also stemmed from bogus online sources, it appears to be a hoax. Sharkeisha is alive and well.
Or at least alive. She's not well in the head, clearly.
The Twitter account "Queen Sharkeisha," claiming to be the infamous video attacker, alleged that she had been gunned down in a drive-by shooting.
The account posted a photo of a young woman in the hospital.
The photo used was not Sharkeisha, however, and was actually from an old New York Post article about a 42-year-old named Karen Brim (see below).
A comedy site, Huzlers (dot) com also posted the story about her being shot before the aforementioned Tweet. It's unclear if the two acts were coordinated.
In any case, the Twitter user claiming to be Sharkeisha wrote alongside the unrelated photo: "2 shots, 12 stitches and still breathing. THANK YOU LORD."
There was no actual media coverage of the incident, but the story spread, and the terms "RIP Sharkiesha" and "Prayforsharkeisha" began trending on Twitter.
For no reason whatsoever. This didn't actually happen.
About an hour later, the account wrote to its 41,000 followers: "I am forever The Queen," while re-tweeting a number of messages saying "she" was shot.
"Sharkeisha got killed bruh? Gah damn the game [expletive] up RIP," reads one tweet that was re-tweeted by the "Queen Sharkeisha" account.
As for Huzlers, which said "Word on the street Sharkeisha is dead… Tun tun tun…," on Facebook, it calls itself a website "for your daily laugh."
Whether anyone's laughing or not, it doesn't seem the least bit credible. Nor is there anything to suggest this actually happened to the troubled teen.
Last month, the video of Sharkeisha punching and beating another teen, ShaMichael Manuel (below), hit the web, generating tens of millions of views.
The viral clip spread even more quickly than this death hoax.
Incredibly, Manuel forgives her for the sucker punch heard 'round the world. So #Prayforsharkeisha indeed. Not because she was shot, but so she gets help.

Mentor Graphics Catapult C Adds SystemC Synthesis and Expands Full-Chip Capabilities
WILSONVILLE, Ore., January 25, 2010 – Mentor Graphics Corp. (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced that the Catapult® C Synthesis tool has added SystemC synthesis, expanding the Catapult C tool's full-chip synthesis capabilities. This complements the Catapult C tool's existing algorithmic, control logic, and low power synthesis capabilities and expands its full-chip synthesis application scope through the efficient handling of specific SoC needs such as complex bus interfaces, SoC interconnect and TLM2.0-based ESL flows.
Catapult C support for SystemC source descriptions augments its existing support for ANSI C++ input, allowing high-level synthesis users to choose the industry standard high-level synthesis language that best suits their company's methodology. The Catapult C tool now supports SystemC cycle-based descriptions, and goes beyond traditional solutions by also offering support for transaction-level synthesis.
Dual Language Support Ideal for Full-Chip High-Level Synthesis Methodology
In addition to its well established support of abstract source descriptions in pure untimed ANSI C++, the Catapult C tool now offers an extra level of modeling granularity with cycle-accurate SystemC. This unique dual language approach offers designers a wide range of modeling and synthesis options. The Catapult C tool users now have the ability to express complex interface protocols, such as those found in SoC bus interconnects, using a timed SystemC source while keeping the rest of the design functionality in pure untimed ANSI C++. Designers can also express structure and hierarchy either by using SystemC modules or by inferring them from natural C++ boundaries; such as functions, loops or scopes. The result is a standards-based method where legacy synthesizable SystemC models can easily be leveraged in the Catapult C environment, as well as linked with untimed ANSI C++ sources.
Mentor did not stop with support for timed SystemC as is prevalent in existing SystemC high-level synthesis tools, but also added support for abstract SystemC FIFO communication and TLM-based ESL flows, matching high-level synthesis with ESL practices. Traditionally, SystemC synthesis tools have forced designers into a coding style based on clocks and signals. However, transaction-level modeling has emerged as the most widespread way of using SystemC. Recent surveys indicate that 80 percent of today's SystemC users favor working on transactional models above the cycle accurate level, and today most ESL activities, such as architecture analysis and virtual prototyping, rely on TLM. By supporting a modeling style compatible with the OSCI TLM2.0 approach, the Catapult C tool offers strong ties with ESL flows, methods and tools—such as the Mentor Vista™ platform—for comprehensive ESL design, verification and synthesis.
"Mentor's decision to add SystemC support to a proven high-level synthesis flow with Catapult C synthesis is very welcome," said Takashi Hasegawa, Deputy General Manager, SoC Solutions Division, Common IP & Technology Development Unit, Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited. "We've made efforts for a long time for the standardization of SystemC, and also anticipate that this addition will enable us to handle an even broader range of application challenges and provide more flexibility in using Catapult C with Fujitsu supplied silicon technology libraries for our mutual customers."
"Mentor's Catapult C tool provides the right balance between detail and abstraction of advantage by dual language. Its cycle-accurate SystemC support gives us fine-grain control over our design and ability to read legacy synthesizable SystemC IP, while its unique support for SystemC-TLM provides the abstraction missing from other HLS tools," said Yoshinao Umeda, President, PRIMEGATE Ltd. "We are confident that Catapult C will have a positive impact on not only our business, but also most of electronic and automotive businesses, and help our customers experience more success with their ESL flows."
"By expanding the Catapult C tool's high-level synthesis language support to include both ANSI C++ and SystemC, Mentor is demonstrating its continuing commitment to standards and interoperability," said Simon Bloch, Vice President and General Manager of the Mentor Graphics Design and Synthesis Division. "In particular, the convergence of SystemC TLM and high-level synthesis will enable the semiconductor industry at large to move up in abstraction and make strides in improving overall design productivity."
About Catapult
The Catapult C Synthesis tool automatically generates control and algorithmic RTL multi-block designs from pure ANSI C++ and SystemC sources. This process gives designers time and freedom to automatically perform detailed design exploration and quickly achieve fully optimized and error-free hardware implementation. By accelerating time to verified RTL without sacrificing quality of results, Catapult C provides the productivity boost required to tackle the design and verification challenges of modern ASIC design. Catapult C has been recognized as the High Level Synthesis market leader by Gary Smith EDA for 3 years in a row.

Tangela was never really that mighty, but it would still be a hell of a lot better if that Special split did not happen. But still, you can get some use out of this Pokémon yet. That Special Attack is still great, and with that boosted attack power, it is sure to do some good damage, and be a good part of your UU team.
This is a highly predictable set for Tangela, but it works well enough, and really, it doesn't learn enough moves to diversify a bit. But Tangela is still a cool Pokémon that can do very well in the UU metagame, if you time its use right. Sunny Day does three things for Tangela: doubles its Speed (it should now be faster than any other UU Pokémon, providing that they don't get the boost too, like Jumpluff), allows SolarBeam to be used without recharge, and increases the power of Hidden Power Fire. Should you face a Pokémon that is resistant to these attacks, like a Dragon or Fire type, you can put it to Sleep and let another Pokémon take care of it later. Leftovers is usually the item of choice for Tangela to let it take Earthquakes and such better, but if it gets paralyzed it ruins this whole set up, so Lum Berry is always there for consideration.
Other Options
Leech Seed and Ingrain can keep it in the game for a while. Reflect is also there if you want to use Tangela this way. You could use Growth to bump up that good Special Attack even more. Stun Spore is there if you want to do more than just put one Pokémon to Sleep.
Max out Special Attack, and go with Modest nature. 60 Speed EVs guarantees you will be faster than Timid Electabuzz and Manectric after a Sunny Day, meaning only other Chlorophyll Pokémon, Jolly Persian, and Electrode will be faster than you.
Checks and Counters
That Special Defense is simply horrible, and Sunny Day will boost the attack power of Fire attacks, one of Tangela's weaknesses. Also, there are other Grass-types that depend on Chlorophyll for the Speed boost, and also carry Hidden Power Fire. Be wary of them, and anything that uses Ice Beam. Its physical weaknesses aren't as big of an issue, but it will still die in a few powerful hits, so be careful.

When each student leaves Faulkner, we hope that he/she will have a clear
understanding of how their education is impacted by their Christianity. We want
students to understand that all knowledge is from God. God has give each of the
ability to learn but we must measure each piece of information with we learn
with what scriptures teaches. So, instead of learning about how to write
properly we want students to learn to write, but that writing should be viewed
as a way to learn and explore ideas, including the view that God has a purpose
for us and we can explore that purpose through our writing.

Gonzaga deserves the overall #1 seed. Except for the east coast bias.
Duke's Going To Be Just Fine (And Other Thoughts)
Nine days after getting handled in Charlottesville to the point it prompted me to write this column, Duke has offered a pointed rebuttal of those (and any other) concerns.
The Blue Devils ripped arch rival North Carolina at the Dean Dome on Saturday night, 69-53, capping a weeklong run where they have shown that Ryan Kelly is just fine, that Seth Curry doesn't need practice, and that everyone more than likely will be looking up at them on the NCAA's seed list next Sunday. Not only will the Blue Devils be a No. 1 seed, but they have a very good chance at this point to be the overall No. 1 seed, which would lock them into a cozy Philadelphia/Washington D.C. path.
Duke still has not lost with Ryan Kelly in the lineup, and given how volatile everything else has been this season, that's an extremely strong selling point. Kelly's ability to stretch the floor and create space for Mason Plumlee is a huge piece of Duke's offensive effectiveness and Kelly has been much better than advertised as a defender this season. But he's not the whole story. Curry is capable of big nights (like tonight). Mason Plumlee also came strong in Chapel Hill, another good sign. Duke's depth improved while Kelly was out, too.
No one's unbeatable this season and Duke's recent NCAA tournament history is dicey enough that its fans shouldn't be booking tickets to Atlanta just yet, but no one's managed to take them out so far when they're whole.
Elsewhere in the championship week picture…
- Valparaiso's Ryan Broekhoff did this to Wisconsin-Green Bay to put the Crusaders into the Horizon final…… after Wright State had done this to defending tournament champion Detroit in the other semifinal:(h/t @CBTonNBC and @ESPN)
- Belmont rallied from a late seven-point deficit to force overtime and then beat Murray State on a shot with 0.7 seconds left to win the Ohio Valley tournament and become the third team to qualify for the NCAA tournament (after Florida Gulf Coast, making its first-ever trip to the dance and Harvard, which again clinched off the court).
- Loyola Marymount's unexpected run in the WCC tournament ended in the semifinals at the hands of Gonzaga, which stretched a one-point halftime lead out into an eventual 66-48 win.
- Losses by Kansas (at Baylor) and New Mexico (at Air Force) give Gonzaga an even greater possibility of nailing down a No. 1 seed in the NCAAs if they win Monday night's WCC final.
- The other team people need to be watching out for is Louisville, which grabbed a share of the Big East regular-season title today and is very much back in the discussion for a 1-seed depending on how the major-conference tournaments go.
- Liberty (14-20) will be playing for the Big South auto-bid against Charleston Southern after upsetting Gardner-Webb in the semis.
Gonzaga deserves the overall #1 seed. Except for the east coast bias.
I really think Duke is getting too much credit. Georgetown, Gonzaga, and Michigan has a better resume. The ACC is down this year, and yet they are getting the respect. Think about this one, the ACC will have as many teams in the Dance as the SEC and PAC-12. Both conferences, by many respectful writers, are considered to having down years. Yet the ACC gets off because of their legacy. You tell me a team that has to deal with more weekly battles then a team in the Big-10 or Big East, and then I will soften my mind on Duke. They are a good team, but not number 1 overall. Otto Porter is a big reason why the Hoyas deserve the number one seed, and the guard play of Michigan is another. This is not even including the dynamic front court of the Bulldogs from Gonzaga. Mark Few should be coach of the year and the Dogs deserve more respect. They have one big loss, at Butler, that is nothing horrible. Hey, Indiana lost at home to Butler. Duke is overrated, and I bet they will not even reach the second weekend of the Dance.
@Rusty1 Good to see that some of you conspiracy theorists are still hanging in there. Keep up the good work! Someday you will get to the bottom of this and uncover the holy grail of evidence that will prove your bias theory true once and for all. Godspeed.
@AlphonseGerardCappetta Right certainly not the overall no. 1 seed for Duke. Georgetown should be a no. 1 seed too.
@AlphonseGerardCappetta Duke is overrated because the ACC is down this year? Are you serious? They started the reason beating 3 Top 5 ranked teams. They have a team in Miami that was flirting with being ranked number one in the Nation, the top scorer in the Nation in their conference. They only lost conference games when one of their starters went down for half of the season. Come on man. Then you through Gonzaga in there? Who do they face on a nightly basis that is even close to a Miami or UNC or NC State? You sound really bitter. To say that the conferences alone should determine the overall seeding, not the record, not the BPI, and in the same breath mention Gonzaga....ok...

A focus on what's not being said.
by Joe Lindsey
Apparently it's grand jury month in pro cycling. First was the news last week that Stephanie McIlvain met the federal grand jury that is reportedly investigating Floyd Landis' allegations against Lance Armstrong. This week, it's Kevin Livingston and Allen Lim's turn. As always, it's most interesting what is not said.
McIlvain pulled a rather impossible trick as arguably the first Oakley employee not named Jim Jannard to pop up on Google News. Rather, it was her attorney, who said that McIlvain told the grand jury she had no knowledge of any confession of drug use by Armstrong back in a 1996 hospital room where Armstrong was beginning cancer treatment, and no knowledge of any other drug use.
That's a neat trick, considering McIlvain is widely known to have told Greg LeMond the opposite in a taped conversation (which McIlvain's lawyer dismissed as an untrue "gossip" session. It's also at odds with testimony in the SCA insurance case from two other persons in the room that day, Frankie and Betsy Andreu. So how does this square with her lawyer's statement? Easy:
Lim's statement heading into the grand jury testimony was equally eyebrow-arching. Recall that Landis' specific accusation toward Lim was that Landis had already learned how to do most of his own doping independently, even infusing his own blood. But he hired Lim, in part, to help with logistics like transporting the blood.
Lim told ESPN.com's Bonnie Ford that he was cooperating with the investigation. "When I worked with Floyd, I repeatedly told him that he didn't need to dope and should not dope, and I was absolutely not hired to help him to do so," he said in part.
Not that a categorical denial is worth all that much anymore when people will look someone straight in the eye and lie (which Floyd admits doing on past occasions), but Lim's statement does neatly skip around the question.
It's not whether he was hired to help Landis dope (how'd that help wanted ad read?), or whether he told Floyd he didn't need to and shouldn't dope. It's not even Lim's track record of reinforcing ideals of clean sport at Slipstream, which he mentioned to Ford. It's whether he did or did not knowingly assist Landis in doping. That is all.
A few thematically related odds and ends:
-Bjarne Riis complained the other day about Aussie Giro revelation Richie Porte, who is supposedly agitating to be let out of his contract with Saxo Bank, a la Fabian Cancellara and his fabled 3MM Euro buyout. Riis said that Porte is not for sale and held special derision for his agent, who Riis said is continuing to shop Porte around despite having been told no.
"It's fair enough for a manager to ask, but when he is told no, he must stop," Riis said to Danish sports web site Sporten.dk. Riis bemoaned what he said is becoming "a huge problem" in the sport and which is an issue that the UCI will take up this fall.
What Riis didn't say is the name of Porte's agent. That (hat tip to The Inner Ring) is one Andrew McQuaid, son of UCI president Pat McQuaid. If McQuaid the Younger succeeds in leveraging a buyout of his young star, he makes money. But not if Dad decides to regulate the transfer market and shut down the strongarm tactics that turned nasty last year with Sky's pursuit of riders like Brad Wiggins and Ben Swift. So the question becomes: will McQuaid the elder make a business decision that harms his son's business?
(As of today, Porte says he is sticking with Saxo for 2011, according to another Sporten.dk report.)
-In Spain, the judge in charge of Operacion Puerto is expected to finally close the case soon, which will result in all the evidence being destroyed. The rationale: since sports doping wasn't a crime at the time of the investigation, the evidence against the riders is immaterial since they cannot be charged.
But of course sports doping is against the rules, and so you might, maybe, expect to see a little comity and the evidence used to secure more doping sanctions than the handful of riders who actually were proved to be involved? Nah.
Meanwhile, according to the Swiss national daily Tages-Anzeiger, Eufemiano Fuentes, the gynecologist who once tended to many top male cyclists' reproductive health, is back in business, working on Gran Canaria. (h/t to CFA)
Nothing to see here. Move along and enjoy the show, folks. Please exit through the gift shop.

Provence, a popular area of southern France, is where the herbs in this dried blend are commonly used. There are many combinations of this aromatic herb blend, which usually contains lavender, thyme, rosemary, sage, basil, marjoram and summer savory. It can be purchased in large supermarkets or kitchen and specialty shops. It's usually packaged in glass jars, and you may find it packaged with a French flair such as in tiny clay pots or burlap bags tied with ribbons.
Use to season stews or rub into meat, poultry and vegetables for roasting or grilling.
After measuring dried herbs, crumble them in your hand to release their flavor before adding to your recipe.


text: I'd like to remind everyone of two upcoming dance events: The Ecorngill Performing arts Fete is on July 24. It will feature some dance classes during the day, and lots of dancing after dinner. This was really good dancing last year, and I bet it'll be great this year. The Kingdom A&S Tourney is July 31. There are 4 dance classes on Saturday, the last of which teaches the Pieds dance (Fiamma d'Amore). The Pieds competition will be held right after the class, at 6pm. I'd like to welcome Anne of Cloondara, our newest member! And finally, Geoffy Matt has gotten King Uther interested in signing a Royal Charter for our College. We have wording for the Charter, but ideally it'd be done up with beautiful calligraphy. Any volunteers? -- Gregory
