I can understand Viva Elvis not selling well - it wasn't very good and received very mixed reviews among fans. There is also a declining/ageing market for general Elvis p-roduct, such as EOT.
This appeared in Elvis News.com.
What Happened To Elvis' Popularity?
By Can Balkan, Nov 25, 2010
Dear Fans...We all love Elvis. Some of us love him because he was a great humble human being and most of us do because of his music. For many years, he's been earning awards, packing huge arenas(as he will again in 2012), and he charted well in this past decade. It was a glorious ten years for us.
But what happened right now? Viva Elvis?... Most people loved it but it didn't go well. To be honest with you, the show it self is not that good as I understood from the reviews of people who'd been there. It was a huge chance not it's diminishing.It could be nice if it had been on tour as they will do for MJ musical but it's not. The show is actually failing and so is the album too.
Many re releases of the original albums, compilations failed when cahrts considered.
On the other hand, there's a great demand for Elvis The Concert; Virtual concert tour around the world, even without NO AD. which is a shame actually. With a little more advertisement, I am definitely sure that O2 Arena can be a "sell out" for three days in London.
The Hyde Park was a huge success too regarding the number of people.
There are many events around the world;tributes and etc. They are doing well.
So what's wrong with Elvis? Why can't Sony see those successes written above? Boyzone couldn't fill even the half of the arena in Liverpool but Elvis can do that still, but why can't Sony see this opportunity?
We must do something. Huge campaign or a protest letter to EPE about Sony's ignorance. I am from Istanbul TR and I can tell you Sony TR is only caring about MJ. Why is the language of elvis.com only english if they want to be global, reach all fans around the world from every class.
If we don't do anything to makeofficials understand that Elvis is actually still selling well,(Especially with a little international ad.); Pure Elvis I mean, he will be only remembered as a great icon, that'sit. I want more than this, I want him to be recognized a s a great artist instead of "Love Me Tender" or "It's Now or Never."
I am tired of hearing "Oh I didn't know that Elvis sang such songs too." or "Wow, his version is better than the original". I hear this when "I" make the advertisement at home to other people. "Elvis on tour" was a great chance to show his stardom around the world but it failed. Did you know that still we didn't get it in Turkey, only Blue Ray which's very very expensive here. Why on earth could people arrange "this is it" to be seen at various theatres around the world through a whole week but not for elvis even only one day? Don't tell me that people don't go to it. If those arenas can be filled, so can theatres too.
Elvis's reputation is really important to me and I just wanted to share my feelings with you all who really care about him. Elvis.com has to correct the sales figure (For ages, it's written as one billion), Elvis has to have diamond awards, American Music Awards for his great achievements, real facts and numbers about his fan base etc. He deserves it,to be cared more and more.
Let's do more for him; if you can give the effort for writing messages about silly bootlegs, then you can do for real needed purposes too. Let's reunite and make officals understand that Elvis is really big.
I can understand Viva Elvis not selling well - it wasn't very good and received very mixed reviews among fans. There is also a declining/ageing market for general Elvis p-roduct, such as EOT.
It's a mixture of things that is causing this but despite that I think he's still doing well. I mean, he returned to the big screen last year with EOT and it was a huge success. There's no one to blame but the fickled music industry.
Why artists who have true talent fall to the bottom while the ones who are surviving off of gimmicks rather than talent are staying afloat? It's very disheartening. An example is that whole Britney vs Christina thing. There was Christina who could really sing and then there was Britney who's singing was mediocre but sold sexuality to get over the bar. Britney was declarred America's sweet heart while Christina fell to the bottom. It's no wonder that people say that music back in the day was better then music is today.
Then there's also the giant Sony who's not helping anything by pushing the "gimmick" acts and basically ignoring the true artists. It's not entirely their fault though because this is the age of music piracy and Disney-like artists.
I couldn't agree more Cliff )) we have to do someting soon ! Elvis is the biggest artist of all time they just don't realize it!!!!! )
Right on Toya. You said it. I truly feel the industry stopped being about talent years ago. It's all about marketing & the almighty dollar now. Same with the movie industry.
As for the Britney v Christina, to me there is no contest. Britney is just a s***k, and overrated at that. Where as Christina is hot but she has the talent to go with it. Like Elvis, who also had the sex angle, her talent will see her through. I saw the last vid she did where they accused her of coying Lady GaGa. I remember thinking that she din't need to stoop to this level. I should say at this point Lady Ga Ga has got more talent than she is given credit for. By that I mean singing talent. It's as you say Toya, you've got to have a gimmick, and unfortunately, or fortunately sex sells, as they say.All I can say is that if Britney is America's Sweetheart, then God help America.
But what more can we do, apart from what we're doing now? I stopped buying Elvis recordings a longtime ago, mainley because I've got everything he's ever done. If I were to by his re released stuff I'd just be buying the cover, and none of them are new. I started buying FTD cd, but they are just too expensive, as are a lot of these new compilations. I'm talking about the latest Sony release. OK, a lot of the younger generation are discovering Elvis and they are probably downloading his stuff of the net.
Oh I think people realize what a talent Elvis was. He probably gets a lot more respect now than he used to. By this I mean he was never taken seriously in Hollywood circles. It's amazing how you'll find an Elvis song featured in some movie or commercial.
I think we can make a difference. I think that Elvis isn't doin' as good as we would want is because more and more people have an entirely wrong image of Elvis, built up through the years by (for example) the media. Especially the younger generation, who never known Elvis in life, are raised with the stories they hear from media. They don't know the difference of true stories and half thruth or blown up stories. They even don't realise that Elvis was a great human being with great talents and human faults. They have an entirely different music influence today (As far as you can call it still music.) . So they think Elvis is passee. (I heard that say some folks now and then.) I really believe that there has to be a way to change that image. If the media would play doc's like: he touched me, Elvis in Vegas etc and not always the same onces: On tour, That's the way it is etc. Don't get me wrong those are great performances, but no real doc's where you can see the realy man behind the music. Why not playing movies like: Flaming star, King Creole, Charro etc. Maybe we can start by asking more Elvis on the radio. There are some real good remixes that fit into this days music.

You can not force respect, nor recognition of any person or thing.
Elvis has been given little respect for the last 20 years by the bulk of the younger generations and they are influenced by people who now write the pop music and rock music magazines who do not seem to hold Elvis in the same esteem and standing as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton etc.......they see him as more performer than real true creative artist-because IMO he did not write songs and was not a total master of the guitar. He is seen as having wasted his talents from 1961-62 into 1968 by way of concentrating on his movie career which let his musical career languish as new artists took over.
They do see his rebirth in 68-69 but then see decline after 1973 and unfortunately see him as a parody until his death.
It is so hard to make unseeing people realise the impact of Elvis in 1954, see the world before his explosion and the consequences of that explosion which were worldwide in all forms of culture and art.
Some of this is Elvis's fault for not being more attentive to his growth, but Parker did not encourage artist growth he encouraged profit growth and Elvis trusted the Colonels show business savvy for the bulk of his career-toward the end he was starting to see that Colonel may not always have the correct answer and approach to his career-IMO
But instead of understanding how Elvis was manipulated-todays young see him as weak and uncaring about what he did..........so respect does not come forth.
Before Elvis the music was so middle of the road, in the main-yet many young people today think Elvis was just that- "in the main.... in the middle of the road"
The young ones who see and hear the magic of Elvis....get it right away......the others will probably never get it...IMO it can not be forced.
Work in Progress!
unfortunately, Elvis' 'Image' is more popular to the mainstream market today.............
There are so many times the radio play his songs and it's always the same selective few................In the Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, Burning Love and maybe 'Always on my Mind. It's no wonder the general public know so little of the songs he sung, they play the same ones over and over again..........
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger

Cristel, what [U]is[U]the tuth and what is the half truth. There have been so many conflicting stories over the years none of which is clear. I remember when Charlie Hodge was trying to get his book about he and Elvis published, no one would touch it because there was not enough dirt in it. So Charlie had to publish it himself. It is one of the best books I have read. It shows the real side of Elvis. A very loving, caring and generous man, with a fantastic sense of humour.
We must also remember that Col. Parker created a myth about Elvis. I saw one of these myths mentioned in a forum here recently. Some one said that the Presleys were dirt poor. They weren't. Sure, they weren't rich by any means, but Vernon had a job. They had enough money too own a car. I guess today they would be classed as middle income, but by no means poor.Something else that contradicts the 'truth' is that Vernon went to Memphis to set up a new home for Gladys and Elvis but did not return as promised to take Gladys and Elvis back there.So, after a period of time Gladys had to pack up and go looking for him. Now, with Vernon's record I'm inclined to believe this. But, as I say, what is the truth, and what is the half truth.I'd like to think that the person who told me this back in the sixties was a reliable source (she new some of the boys). My reason for saying this is that she also told me that the boys told her that Elvis had Indian blood in him. I have since read this in the many books that I have read when seeking the truth. At the time it was never mentioned.
I'm afraid Cristel, that years from now, when the older Elvis fans have long passed on there may not be that support for Elvis. Oh, it will still be there, but ifeel, not as strong.
I'm pleased that you say Elvis had his faults. There are still some who feel he was a Saint, or the new Messiah.My feeling is, that is why he was more accepted after his death, because people did see that he had feet of clay. You see, this is all due to the myth that Parker built around Elvis, that he was an All American Boy, who loved mom's apple pie. In many ways this was not a bad thing as it gave people of my generation a good role model to follow, and gave us good values that we carried into our latter years. Look at what the young kids of today have got.
I would say that from what I have read about the Presleys that they were indeed poor people in their time in Tupelo.
Tupelo Mississippi was a small poor community, if you were there you were not in the lap of luxury.
I grew up very poor in the 50s and 60s my family lived on less that 5-8 thousand a year for most of that time-yet we had a car which was by no means new or reliable.
Rich, middle income, and poor are all relative terms to the place, time and circumstance.
Tupelo was not a wealthy community by most all standards, individuals who knew the Presleys and lived near them in Tupelo state in the book "Elvis Up Close" that indeed the Presleys were poor from the poor side of Tupelo ........but that does not mean they were destitute with nothing.
Work in Progress!
Radio has made its mind up on Elvis and 95% in America just will not play him (not even the "new" remixes)-oldies stations are disappearing, or becoming hits of the 70s and 80s stations.
In St Louis-we have one station which still plays truely early rock which includes Elvis-they also have blocks of time which play, Frank Sinatra, Dean, Sammy, etc.....the rest of the stations are divided between country, rap, current pop and 70s to the 90s stations.
The Beatles by contrast are played regularly on many of these stations no matter the format even on the station I mentioned which still plays early rock and Elvis.
One final thought-the image of Elvis, while not being fair a lot of the time-actually started with Elvis himself if we look honestly at it......He did overeat, he did have a weight problem in the 60s and in the mid 70s, he did have a prescription problem with his "a pill or potion for every ill" attitude, he did let Parker call the bulk of the shots and signed the long term contracts which Parker negotiated (trusting Parker) he did allow the business of music publishing to interfere with picking songs for his musical career which gave him less than superior material at times...................he was human who made mistakes and those mistakes have a way of following you in life and even in death.
I know that the mistakes are given way more press, way more consideration than the things Elvis excelled at-the 70s are never seen from the perspective of the best years 70-74 they are seen as 76-77.....the worst years.
This is not fair-but 76-77 did happen, as did the bad songs, bad films, and all the negatives which are always pounced on and which seem to be overriding the best that was Elvis.
Its hard to overcome the negatives-because even though they are perhaps exaggerated, and used to unfairly describe all that was "Elvis" and his accomplishments.....they were sadly part of what he was. Its not like you can only show the good, because life is not like that........human nature for some unexplained reason sees the bad in spades while the good fights for light.
Work in Progress!
I don`t think that there is a way to force people into having more respect and more interest in Elvis.It`s a lot to expect to still have Elvis up there with the best selling artists of today as well...I think that,despite all the factors working against him,Elvis is is doing quite well today...considering he has been gone from this world since 1977,considering the lack of foresight and imagination by the people who own the rights to his music...even the willingness of EPE to as good as approve the whole insane ETA scene. It`s hard to know what the future holds...todays music-scene is not in a very strong position and will no doubt remain so until something new and exciting comes along...in many ways it is a case of "wait and see" before we can find out what Elvis` place will be in that. There have been worries and concerns for the future of Elvis for as long as I can remember...maybe we are worrying about nothing..he just keeps on coming back again!
He still is regarded near the top as a historical musical icon, he ranks in the top for sales worldwide, and his name is still known by young people today even if they do not fully understand his significance.
Work in Progress!
The way that music is at the moment..well,chart-music anyway I don`t think that there is really as much knowledge of the artists or of music in general as there was in previous generations.In times past there was an interest in influences and in how the music of the day came to be..not so much of that today...at least not by the people who are buying the music that is making the charts. If you step outside that there is still a strong music scene going on away from the "Top 20"...and it is there that I would like to see Elvis get the credit he deserves.Both Sony and EPE should be focusing on that and working to undo all the harm that has been done by the media jokes and all the people who have turned the image of Elvis into nothing more than an over-the-top cartoon figure who just ate burgers and played Las Vegas..all the while having nothing better to say than "Thankyaver`much"...that is the thing that needs to be undone somehow before Elvis will really be judged in the light that he should be...and seen for the talent and inspiration that he was/is.
It's all EPE's and RCA/BMG/Sony's fault. They still are re-selling the old 50s and 60s hit. Those songs, despite their historical value and greatness, won't win many new fans and won't give him much airplay on contemporary stations.
Sony should re-evaluate Elvis' catalogue and create albums that have a change to score (on iTunes/radio). During this process they should ignore hit positions of those songs/albums during the 50s/60s/70s. Same goes with the artwork. We all know that 'the mothers in the shopping malls' may pickup an Elvis CD with a cute Teddy Bear kinda picture of Elvis easier than one with a more modern look. But we need to get the new generation listen to Elvis. It's no wonder that among them Suspicious Minds is much better known than Hound Dog.
Get the new audience with these contemporary compilations and then sell them the (already widely available) greatest hits albums (or original albums)

I agree with Cliff. And I want to say yes yes Elvis was american cherokee indian, scot irish some jewish and welch. I emailed graceland along time ago on his geonology.( spelling). Anyway they have always answered anything I have asked. And I can see much indian. Cheekbones etc.
ALLC got some play in 2001-2002 at a couple of the local contemporary stations, and the DJs said they were getting enough requests that they had to play it.....fastforeward to the release of Rubberneckin a while later and once again DJs I called and e-mailed said there was just no demand for the song.
In the US so many stations are now owned by the same corporations that "individual policy and playlists" are a thing of the past......I'm not sure what the answer is to this.
If radio will not play the songs...... you are up against a brick wall.

A great place for a dinner for two – Last night, the valentine's day night, me and my husband went to dinner at this wonderful restaurant.
We made the reservations in the same day, and we were lucky to get seats. We had dinner at the bar, the place was full, but it was very pleasant.
Small place but the deco is simple and soft, the service is great, and staff very nice.
Great food, and a good wine menu.
We arrived 1/2 hour sooner, and we were received with a smile and while we were waiting we had a glass of wine.
To start we had the Crab and shrimp spring rolls, and they were really tasty.
For the main couse I had the spicy thai linguine and my husband choose the shrimp linguine, both courses were great, and the amount of food in the plate is the right size, not to much, and not to little.
For dessert we shared the House Signature Créme Brulée, it was a really tasty sweet.
The meal was served within a good waiting time, since we were seated 'till dessert.
The bill was accessible.
We really enjoyed our meals and the place, and we definitely will return soon .
a good reason to visit Issaquah – A few months ago I was in town on a business trip and my hotel recommended Fins Bistro as one of my dining choices in Issaquah. I enjoyed my spinach salad and my salmon entree very much . I also appreciated their terrific wine list, lots of glass pours to choose from and so nice to see so many Washington wines on the list.I have been back to Fins many times since that first trip, as my business brings me here once a month or so. I have always experienced friendly service which as a single diner away from home I very much appreciate.
Quaint Restaurant with Fantastic Food and Service – What a pleasent surprise to find this quaint restaurant hidden next to the Village Theater in Issaquah.
We had made reservations prior to the show on a Thursday and I was glad we did, we were seated promptly with a smile to watch the restaurant fill up. Despite being full we were treated to a fantastic expirence with a knowlegeable and friendly waitress, she answered all our questions and was able to recommend her favorites. Two of our party went with those recommendations and were very pleased (macadamia halibut) , I had the spicy Thai Linguine (it was terrific) and my wife had the Northwest Trio, a nice piece of salmon, halibut cheek and a crab cake. We shared a few appetizers, the bruchetta and Dynamite scallops were fantastic. All the presentation was great, the wine list extensive and resonable, we will definatly be back soon!
Fins Bistro Review – Fins Bistro is a wonderful little restaurant nestled next to the village theatre. The atmosphere in the restaurant is a delight. The staff are very friendly and are focused on making your experience ejoyable. The menu items are so tasty and the variety makes it hard to decide what to order. The seafood plates are delicious. If you haven't been to this restaurant then I would highly recommend it for a wonderful dinner or even stop by at lunch for a great cajun salmon sandwich, which is my favorite.
Poor quality fish, poorly cooked. Very rude ownership. – Our visit to Fins Bistro has to rank near the top of the all-time worst restaurant experiences and left us in a state of shock.
I ordered the Copper River King Salmon. It looked fine until I cut into the fish I discovered that over 25% of the fish was that black nasty part you get from a low quality piece of fish. When the waitress asked how everything was, I told her I was very disappointed in the quality of the fish itself. She was very supportive and no questions asked offered to come up with a remedy. This all seemed fine until the chef (and owner) showed up, with a new raw piece of fish in hand, to argue with me about the Copper River fish and their higher fat content. He was rude, but I was hungry and no need to argue from my perspective since the second piece he had with him looked fine so I wrote it off as him not being good with customers.
A few minutes later the second dish arrived but sadly this time the problem was even worse. Clearly the chef rushed it and cooked the Salmon on too hot of a pan. This was obvious as each outer third of the fish was over-cooked while the inside third was raw. Not medium rare, not even rare, RAW. I again was forced to raise this issue with the waitress and was somewhat at a loss at what to do now since this was twice now.
Then the situation went from bad to worse. The chef stormed out again in a clear outrage and literally yelled at my wife and I in front of everyone in the restaurant about how they serve their salmon "medium rare" and it was "dijon crusted". I know medium rare and I know how to cook salmon and this wasn't it. It clearly suffered from being cooked on too high a heat. A clear sign of a chef who doesn't know how to cook salmon. The shocking thing was that he continued to stand there and yell at us for over five minutes. He then gave a final puff of "there's obviously no pleasing you" and stomped away.
Needless to say, we won't be going back and neither should you.
Incredible food, the best halibut we've ever had! – Last night a group of four of us had dinner at Fins. The food was outstanding, we all chose the halibut, 2 chose the halibut cheeks, the other 2 chose halibut with macadamia nuts and peanut sauce. The fish was outstanding, cooked to perfection and the accompanying sauces were excellent! For an appetizer, we had calamari which was delicious as well. It was a fabulous meal, I highly recommend dining at Fins.
Worst $50/person food ever! – I am not sure how a place can go wrong in so many ways. Just to be quick, the brea was stale, olive oil had no flavor, the service was poor and slow, seemed like all the meals came with the same side dishes, lookedlike they had a huge bash of half way cooked carrots and broccolis back there! The wine was average. Salads were made up of the lowest quality ingredients. I think we could haev gotten a much better food at Denny's. Only the ambiance is better at Fins!
Home of the $50 TV Dinner – Everything we were served was borderline awful. The olive oil was over-seasoned with pepper and barely palatable. The crab cakes were cold and the garnish was sliced salad mushrooms and a couple of pieces of iceberg lettuce, something you might expect with a burger at Denny's. On our salads the house dressing, raspberry vinaigrette, was so overloaded with vinegar we were gasping for water. I had the halibut entree. The sides were a vegetable of steamed carrot slices and broccoli florets, straight out of a TV dinner, and the rice was so overcooked that it was like polenta. My wife had the grilled swordfish. This was the worst piece of seafood I've tasted in my life. It was cold and raw in the middle, fishy tasting, and had the consistency of a hunk of gristle. We didnt dare order dessert. Bill plus tax and tip was $100. Booooo.
Pricey and left me wanting more. – When we came in only two tables were full, and the four available staff ignored us, then acted put out when we did not have reservations. The sashimi tuna appetizer was excellent, as was the specially blended olive oil with bread. Once the servers started acknowledging us, they were quite friendly.
On the bad side, the portions were small, especially given the over $20 price. The food took a long time to come. My sturgeon tasted fishy and couldn't have been more than 2.5 ounces for $22! The rice pilaf was the best thing on my plate. My husband orded Mahi that smelled badly. The place filled up later in the evening with seniors that seemed to be quite regular, and frankly I didn't get it. While I would recommend wine and appetizers before a show at the attached Village Theater, I know that I will not be back.
great place – Open for breakfast saturday and sunday! What a surprise. Great food and great staff :)

- Item #: ppa3179
Blackwing Pencils Variety Pack (12 ct.)
Originally made by Eberhard-Faber and dating back to the 1930's, the Blackwing 602 Pencil quickly rose in prominence and was loved by multiple famous writers and illustrators. By the late 1990's it had been discontinued, but not forgotten - the 602 had reached cult status. So much so, that Palomino founder and CEO Charles Berolzheimer, whose pencil industry roots date back to the mid 19th century, re-introduced the Blackwing pencil, both in its original form (Blackwing 602) for devotees, writers and everyday users, as well as a modified version with a slightly softer lead for artists (Blackwing). Best of all, Palomino developed the Blackwing brand to now include sketchbooks, notebooks, sharpeners, pencils, and more.

But no matter what you think about his convictions, his ideas have gone viral - including the word "meme."
CNN caught up with Dawkins while he was passing through Atlanta earlier this year. His next U.S. tour is in October.
Here is an edited transcript of part of the conversation. Watch the video above for a more focused look at Dawkins' ideas about evolution vs. intelligent design.
Today, a lot of people think a "meme" is a LOLcat or a photo that's gone viral. How do you feel about that?
In the last chapter of "The Selfish Gene," I coined the word "meme" as a sort of analog of "gene." My purpose of this was to say that although I'd just written a whole book about how the gene is the unit of natural selection, and that evolution is changes in gene frequencies, the Darwinian process is potentially wider than that.
You could go to other planets in the universe and find life, and if you do find life, then it will have evolved by some kind of evolutionary process, probably Darwinian. And therefore there must be something equivalent to a gene, although it may be very, very different from the DNA genes that we know.
I wanted to drive that point home. And rather than speculate about life on other planets, I thought maybe we could look at life on this planet and find an analog of the gene staring us in the face right here. And that was the meme. It's a unit of cultural inheritance, the idea that an idea might propagate itself in a similar way to a gene propagating itself. It might be like catchy tune, or a clothes fashion. A verbal convention, a word that becomes fashionable, like "awesome," which no longer means what it should mean.
That would be an example of something that spread like an epidemic. And the word "basically," which is now used just to mean "uhh." That's another one that's spread throughout the English speaking world.
These are potentially analogous to genes in the sense that they spread and are copied from brain to brain throughout the world, or throughout a particular subset of people. The interesting question would be whether there's a Darwininan process, a kind of selection process whereby some memes are more likely to spread than others, because people like them, because they're popular, because they're catchy or whatever it might be.
My original purpose was to say: It's not necessarily all about genes. But the word has taken off.
There are people who use meme theory as a serious contribution to the theory of human culture and I'm glad to say that the idea of things going viral has also gone viral.

I loved the Studio Calico kit from last month. I picked up one of the add-ons, too - so I've got a lot of kit to work through still. I used it for this page:
I don't usually like to use a bright solid color for the background (I've been on a white kick lately) but this teal felt kind of vintage to me and it was great with the yellows in those photos. Here's the title - I took apart the Jenni Bowlin perforated sheet from the kit and tucked the pieces under the circular title tag:
The rest of the projects I made, along with the design team gallery (which you don't want to miss) can be seen here. Did you get your new Elle's Studio kits yet? Hoping mine comes today! I could use a pick me up on this dreary Monday.

The saga with a former rider isn't great for anyone involved.
by Joe Lindsey
What began as a minor contractual dispute between the Garmin-Cervelo team and an ex-rider has now blown up into a full-scale imbroglio, complete with allegations of extortion and questions about whether there might be any other relations between riders and out-of-house doctors.
To catch you up on the last few episodes of "As the ProTeam Turns," we learned last week that Garmin fired longtime team manager Matt White for a breach of team rules – sending a former rider, Trent Lowe, to an unapproved physician for medical testing.
Since neither side claims anything illicit happened, that seemed a harsh response, but the doctor in question was Luis Garcia del Moral, a former U.S. Postal Service team physician who has been implicated in the FDA investigation into doping on that team. Del Moral denies any involvement in doping. Regardless of del Moral's reputation, White broke team rules by sending Lowe to a physician without first clearing it through the team's own medical staff, and Garmin's firm adherence to its rules meant Whitey, as he's known, had to go.
Garmin general manager Jonathan Vaughters told me that White's rumored ties to a planned new Australian pro team, GreenEDGE, were not an issue, and that White was dismissed only for the del Moral incident. Team officials claim they learned of the visit in the process of a contract dispute with Lowe over payment for December, which was withheld when Lowe was shown in a photograph riding the Scott bike of his 2011 team, Pegasus; technically he was to ride Felt through December 31. Pegasus later folded, leaving Lowe without work and, possibly, motivated to recover that December paycheck.
Follow so far?
Episode II: Early Wednesday morning, Garmin announces via a press release that the April 2009 test was not Lowe's only contact with del Moral. He also saw him in June of that year for a routine UCI medical check. The team says it learned of this on January 24 when Lowe's advisor, Martin Hardie, sent a communication to Garmin general manager Jonathan Vaughters that there was "new information relating to del Moral" and that unless Slipstream agreed to pay Lowe 500,000 Euro, Hardie and Lowe would expose certain information relating to del Moral. A second check of records turned up the June 2009 visit, and Garmin's most recent disclosure of the visit and Lowe/Hardie's financial demand.
So that little left turn to Bizarroworld brings us to now.
Neither Hardie nor Lowe have responded to my requests for comment, and have neither confirmed nor disputed the substance of Garmin's latest disclosure. Reached by VeloNews last week in regard to the White firing, Lowe told them that he had couldn't comment. Hardie, on Wednesday told VeloNews he also couldn't comment.
The only thing that seems clear right now is that there will be an Episode III, because there are a lot of unresolved plot points. It doesn't exactly require the deductive skills of Sherlock Holmes to know that we don't know the complete story here.
Among the questions I have (some of which were also raised by Cycle Sport's Edward Pickering in his always-excellent Wednesday Comment):
That last question seems minor, but it's really central to the whole episode: all of this ugliness stems from an instance of Trent appearing in an image riding equipment – a new team bike – that was technically in violation of his contract with Garmin.
The only images of Lowe on the new bike I can find are these Zapruder-worthy images that fail to show Trent's face or the Scott logo. If you find or know of others, do please tell me. Teams have late fall camps all the time, often with the explicit goal of getting riders fitted to new gear.
Journalists attending these camps are often asked – casually or formally, in the form of a non-disclosure agreement – to refrain from publishing photos of riders on gear that is outside their contract. But just as riders sign contracts with new teams before the July 1 free agent window, riders use fall camps to try out next year's gear.
Technically, Vaughters told me, according to Section 6.1 of standard UCI contract language, even attending a camp for a new team before the end of the year is a violation. But since it's routine, I asked, how does that work.
"Commonly, riders will ask permission to attend the camp," he said. "So if I got an e-mail from Trent asking if it was OK to go to the Pegasus camp, that would've been no problem. But he never asked. Nor did Chris White (the Pegasus manager), and I know he has my contact information because we've spoken before."
Significantly, says Vaughters, Svein Tuft, who also transferred from Garmin to the doomed Pegasus team, did make such a request. It was granted and Tuft, also pictured on a Scott bike, was paid for December (Vaughters said a separate contract issue with Tuft is proceeding over bonuses).
A third Pegasus transfer, Robbie Hunter, had already ended his contract with Garmin by that point. And Danny Pate, who transferred to HTC, made a request to attend that team's December camp and was OK'd, with the proviso that photos of him in HTC gear be held until January 1. All of that bears out Vaughters point that Lowe erred seriously by not asking permission.
But still, isn't such a rigid adherence to the contracts a bit pedantic? Yes, agreed Vaughters, adding that he was that way on all contractual issues. But, he explained, he's unfailingly rigid because if the details aren't enforced, it's quickly the big things that start to slide.
Despite Garmin's efforts to keep things transparent, the whole situation isn't good for anyone involved. Maybe because such inner workings of the sport are considered as understood, Garmin didn't bother to explain the contract/permissions issue that Trent fell afoul of.
So at first glance, Trent's sin didn't appear any different than, say, a Garmin rider getting fitted for a Cervelo P4 time trial bike while technically still under contract with Felt. (Felt OK'd the use of Cervelos at the November camp, says Vaughters.) It's only after explanation – which Garmin for whatever reason didn't think to offer – that the differences emerge.
Lowe, for his part, and Hardie as his representative, might qualify for the worst contract-poker players of all time. It's hard to read a request for half a million Euro – what a ProTeam would pay a top rider as an annual salary – to keep a possibly unsavory fact under wraps as anything less than extortion.
If Lowe was wronged by Garmin's withholding of pay, that's a straight contract issue. That's it. Deal with it as such. If Lowe's remaining years really are worth half a million Euro, then that stands on its face; bringing in a veiled threat to reveal certain information if the demand isn't met is just slimy. If I was Lowe, I'd look for a new advisor.
It was also a monumental backfire.
Lowe and Hardie seem to have fundamentally miscalculated Garmin's approach: call every bluff. Both times Lowe has threatened to go public with information, Garmin has front-run them and publicized it themselves. First rule of holes, Trent: when you're in one, stop digging.
Let's add up the bleakness of Lowe's situation: he has no team for 2011. He spent most of 2009 and 2010 battling health issues that prevented him from racing (a time which, it might be said, the team faithfully stood by him and paid him – how many teams do that?). He's now known for getting his former team manager fired, so assuming Whitey does become manager at GreenEDGE in 2012, do you think Lowe gets a ride there? And he's now a Bad Actor who's possibly trying to extort his former team. Let's be clear: if Lowe is unemployable, it's due entirely to his own actions and those of his advisor.
He's becoming the Jay Cutler of pro cycling – a questionable character whose skills may not be worth the baggage. Or, as Jeff MacGregor of ESPN said of Cutler, he's a riddle wrapped in a mystery hidden inside a jackass.
I commend Garmin for its commitment to following its team rules. I realize it's a slippery slope from little omissions or coverups to big ones. And certainly, once Hardie made money demands that's the end of polite negotiations; it's now down to the lawyers.
But as a sage once said, "What's so funny 'bout a little peace, love and understanding?" A dash of that, on both sides, could've prevented this whole sorry episode. Failing that, an alternate solution: Whitey, JV, Lowe and Hardie. Locked room. And four of these. At least they can work out their frustrations.

RUMFORD — Town Manager Carlo Puiia said Tuesday that he is disappointed that NewPage Corp. will shut down its No. 12 paper machine indefinitely by mid-February.
Ron Hemingway, president of the Local 900 United Steelworkers, told the Sun Journal that "around 120 people" may be affected by that shutdown.
"Well, the mill's been very forward about the economic situation with the paper industry all along," Puiia said. "But, of course, it disappoints us when we hear those things that definitely affect our local workers versus companywide-type layoffs. This is more specific, where it's local.
"We're very concerned for those workers and their families and how this affects the mill," he said. "Hopefully, it is a situation that would change and they would restart the machines and bring the employees back to work. I'm being hopeful. But like I said, they've been very forward with us all along. It's a struggling industry."
Puiia said he hadn't heard that any paper mill employees lost their jobs Tuesday or were given termination or layoff notices. That's why he couldn't yet speculate on the fallout for Rumford.
"It was my understanding that hourly people wouldn't be affected until February, but there were maybe maintenance and administration people who had heard the news differently and they may be affected sooner," Puiia said.
"Considering that number of jobs and the number of paychecks, that's huge on our economy."
In March, NewPage officials and River Valley business owners urged Rumford selectmen to reduce the mill's taxes. At the time, town officials learned that NewPage could potentially shut down its Rumford Paper Co. subsidiary. Business owners also urged selectmen to reduce spending in their already-approved proposed 2013-14 budget.
Selectmen couldn't reduce the budget without calling for a special town meeting. Townspeople, however, in five months of special town meetings, pared more than $1 million from the budget before finally approving the last item on Election Day, Nov. 5.
But Rumford's biggest taxpayer — the NewPage mill — is the only benefactor of that budget reduction, Puiia said.
On Nov. 14, the assessors board notified NewPage that the mill's valuation dropped $46.6 million, going from $176,552,909 to $129,922,313, Puiia said. Mill officials haven't appealed that change yet, but could.
He said that valuation drop reduced the paper mill's property taxes by approximately $1.1 million. That also reduced Rumford's tax rate from $24.25 per $1,000 of real estate to $24.
"In the cuts that were made to the budget, the mill was the benefactor in the result that they're receiving a reduced property tax bill," Puiia said.
"Their valuation was reduced by $46.6 million, so they will pay $1.1 million less in property taxes. So because their value is less, we tax them less. So that's why I say the reduction of the budget was over $1 million and essentially it ends up that the mill is receiving the reduction."
"Basically, everybody else's taxes stayed about the same," he said. "For the most part, most people are going to see the same amount on their tax bill."
Puiia said although the meeting agenda for selectmen meeting Thursday, Nov. 21, has been set, the town charter allows them to add an item such as the mill news.

Woman dies one week after crash8:04 pm | October 26, 2012
A crash that tragically took the lives of two young children more than a week ago on Highway 19E has claimed the life of their mother.
Tennessee Highway Patrol Spokesperson Dalya Qualls confirmed that Katrina Nye died at the Johnson City Medical Center on Friday at about 1p.m.
Nye was driving a green Ford Taurus on Thursday, Oct. 18, southbound on Highway 19E when the vehicle crossed the median in the Valley Forge community and struck a northbound maroon mini-van.
The woman's children, 2-year-old Dalton Moffitt and 7-year-old Jonathan Nye, died the night of the crash. Nye and another passenger, Jodie Hensley, were taken by Wings Air Rescue to the JCMC for treatment.
The individuals in the mini-van, Amy Alexander and Lindsay Sluder, were taken to the JCMC, but have been released.

AUSTIN -- More changes are coming to Austin-Bergstrom International Airport where airport officials are trying to avoid Formula 1 crowd issues.
Tuesday evening's Airport Commission meeting focused on some of the main strategies. First - utilize every square inch of current space. Upper and lower decks will divide incoming traffic based on their travel plans. Even light poles aren't going unused, providing ad space to cash in on extra eyeballs come F1 weekend.
Sixty-two extra flights are scheduled to come into ABIA, but officials say that number could still go up.
"The airport's going to have a few things different around here. People are going to be able to see the differences too, " said ABIA spokesman Jim Halbrook. "It makes for a really busy event, and then they're all leaving right before one of our busiest times of the year, which is Thanksgiving."
The most major crowd concern isn't even anticipated during race weekend, but the day after. The airport is expecting anywhere from 2,000 to 5,000 rental cars to be returned within just a few hours.
The extra security checkpoint being built right now that is supposed to help handle those crowds is on schedule. It should be up and running by mid-November.

Back Pain
Low-Impact Fitness
Regular walking can help you get and stay fit. But don't lace up those old, worn-out shoes. They won't offer the support you need to keep your back healthy. "I like walking shoes that have gel inserts," Warson recommends. "They're terrific shock-absorbers."
Swimming is another activity Warson strongly recommends. "It's the best overall exercise you can do," he says. "You're weightless when you're in the water." In addition to back pain, older riders might also suffer from bad knees and hips and joint discomfort. "Swimming allows these people to exercise aerobically without aggravating hips, knees or arthritic joints," Warson adds.
Medication Options
If you believe that taking an anti-inflammatory medication right before you get on your horse will temporarily relive their back pain, think again. "I hate to break this to you," Warson says, "but these medications definitely have a downside that nobody talks about. In order for them to be effective, they must be taken daily. Some riders in their 40s and beyond might've already developed some natural wear and tear of their backs, or some arthritis. They might require chronic anti-inflammatory medicine not only to help relieve their discomfort, but also to slow the irritation and the arthritic buildup in their muscles and joints."
However, Warson adds, "If you still encounter pain, despite stretching, you should use acetaminophen on top of the anti-inflammatory medicine for pain relief." If you aren't on chronic anti-inflammatory medication, acetaminophen is still the best choice for easing the back pain while riding. Caveat: Before taking or combining any medications, discuss your situation with a physician.

Keller Williams new CD coming soon 'thief', plays Hangout Beach Music & Arts Festival this weekend.
Keller & The Keels have a new CD coming out on Sci-Fidelity next month called Thief. There's a killer cover of "Rehab" on it as well as "Teen Angst" CDs being sent shortly.
"This isn't your grandfather's bluegrass – this is Keller bluegrass. And, as with everything else this guitarist/vocalist/mad scientist does, that translates to lots of goofy humor and twisty turns." – LiveDaily
"As we first reported on our sister site Jambands.com, Keller Williams, Larry Keel and Jenny Keel are set to release their follow up to 2005's Grass. That disc featured three Williams originals along with seven covers. The trio entered the studio again this past December and recorded an album that focuses exclusively on cover material. Thief offers bluegrass interpretations of music from The Butthole Surfers, Ryan Adams, Amy Winehouse, The Raconteurs, Marcy Playground, The Presidents of the United States and Kris Kristofferson. The disc will be released on May 25, with Keller & The Keels now confirmed to support Thief through a number of festival gigs, with additional gigs possible as well."—Relix
Paste's Ten Jam-Band Moments for People who Hate Jam Bands:
4. "Keller Williams' stage show: Most jams involve lots of intricate parts played by many different players. A Keller Williams show involves lots of intricate parts played by Keller Williams. The lightning-fast guitarist endlessly loops his playing onstage using a handful of pedals, eventually creating a veritable symphony of frenetic melodies. Think Andrew Bird (complete with whistling), but danceable."
"Keller Williams' latest studio release, 'thief', serves as a follow-up to his highly acclaimed 2006 release of anything-but-traditional bluegrass songs, 'grass'–Amazon.com
He's also renown host of the syndicated radio show Keller's Cellar www.kellerscellar.com

American has gone through some very rough times. But now, it has an all-new livery and is the first U.S. carrier to fly Boeing's 777-300ER, the world's most successful two-engine plane.
Although the long-haul plane has been in service for years, no U.S. carrier has flown it. But now American Airlines has begun flying the plane, and the airline's rebirth has begun.
The new apps, which Boeing will demonstrate this week in Europe, should help airline mechanics get quick access to crucial information about parts, maintenance records, and more.
Although it's clearly a gag, it might be worth putting together 70 bucks to try to buy this, just in case we live in a computer simulation that's just been infected with a crazy virus.
In an immense factory in Everett, Wash., Boeing builds its 777 aircraft. CNET tours the facility to find out how.

Lakers News; Kobe ready,and Phil sounds off about Howard-Shaq fued
|Posted by shawn cassidy on October 6, 2012 at 10:45 PM
Phil Jackson may have stepped away from the NBA, but he's never been one to duck a controversy.
The former Los Angeles Lakers coach didn't exactly pick sides in the recent dust-up between centers Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard, but said "there is a lot to what (O'Neal) says" when he characterized Howard as a "pick-and-roll" player with a more limited offensive game than more traditional back-to-the-basket centers Andrew Bynum and Brook Lopez.
Jackson described Howard as a better all-around player and complemented him on the improvements he's made to his offensive game in recent years, but noted Howard is still "learning the post game."
"Brook and Andrew are guys who have good touches. They're good scoring players and they have good offensive games," Jackson said on the "Waddle and Silvy Show" on ESPN 1000 in Chicago on Friday.
"Dwight is a guy that has that amazing athletic ability but the overall game -- rebounding, defending, blocking shots, running the court -- this is a guy that runs with the wolves, so to speak. He can get up and down that court as quick as any of the guards and forwards because of his athletic ability.
Dwight of course is the better all around player, but I agree with O'neal saying Bynum is better than Howard. I've always felt that way. Honestly I can see Howard getting lost in the Lakers offense this season, and maybe that doesn't even matter. But to be honest, Howard has a lot of flaws in his game, and maybe Kobe's guidance can help him.
"We as players, we always watch people before us," O'Neal said. "When I came in, it was Patrick Ewing and Hakeem Olajuwon, guys who played like true centers who played inside. What we have now are centers that are going to the European style, which is a lot of pick-and-roll. Dwight Howard, who's a pick-and-roll player, some people say he's the best center in the league, but me being an old-school center, I'm going to go with Robin Lopez and Andrew Bynum because they play with their back to the basket."
O'Neal later corrected himself to say he was speaking about Brook Lopez and not his brother, Robin, who plays for the New Orleans Hornets.
Howard responded to O'Neal after the Lakers practiced on Thursday, saying the former star should "just let it go" and that "it's time to move on."
Shaq has his reasons, and I don't blame him. Howard has big shoes to fill being a mega star center in LA. Wilt, Kareem, and Shaq enough said really. Howard is so far away from being one of the best centers ever. And that should say something about today's big men. Howard has it easy compared to Shaq's NBA of 15 years ago, or 10 years ago.
Kobe Bryant practices for Lakers
Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant returned to practice Saturday after sitting out both of Friday's sessions with minor discomfort in his right foot and will play in the Lakers' preseason opener Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif.
Dwight Howard also was a full participant in Saturday's practice, but Lakers coach Mike Brown said he didn't think Howard would play in Sunday's exhibition as he continues to recover from back surgery.
Kobe already a bit banged up, means nothing I'm sure.

As many viewers tuned into 'Kourtney and Kim Take Miami ' last season, it did not seem as if Kim Kardashian had a desire to be a mother...EVER. In fact, she would often lash out at older sister, Kourtney Kardashian, for her obsessive and annoying motherly ways. However, soon into the season, fans found out that poor Kim was fearful that, much like her sister, Khloe Kardashian , that she would have trouble conceiving a child. Now that Kim is preggo with Kanye's baby, while some may not think she will be the best mom, motherhood has transformed some celebrities for better and for worse. Here are 4 reasons why Kim will make a good mom!
1. She grew up in a large family with many siblings.
Being the second oldest of the Kardashian/Jenner bunch, Kim is no stranger to babies being around. She has watched her mother raise four children (Khloe, Rob, Kendall, and Kylie). While she may not have been thinking of motherhood during this time, she hopefully picked up some motherly instincts. For the baby's sake, let us hope these instincts are pre Kris Jenner being the family's momager.
2.She has Kourtney to look up to as an example.
With two cute kids, Mason and Penelope, under her belt, Kourt has shown some wonderful mothering skills (as far as we can see on reality television). She truly appears to care and finds it important take the time to nurture and pay attention to her children. Although, she often makes her children a priority over her romantic relationship and many other social relationships. After watching Kourt make a few mistakes as a new mother, hopefully Kim will be able to learn from her sister's mistakes and strike a nice balance in her life between baby, love and family.
3. She has experience babysitting and living with babies/children.
While in Miami, Kim has been able to closely watch Mason and Penelope grow. At times, she has been a care provider for her niece and nephew when their mom and dad are unavailable because of work or more dramatic personal endeavors. The quality time spent with Mason and Penelope will help give this celeb the head start that she needs and some inside insight into the mothering world.
4. She has enough money to support the baby's needs, present and future.
We all know that money is not everything, but it certainly helps! Kim will be able to afford a top-notch education and many other over-the-top experiences for her little bundle of joy. However, let us hope that Kim's desire to make money and her busy schedule do not lead her to rely too much on using her fortune for an expensive, full-time nanny!
Clearly, only time will tell whether Kim becomes a good mom and whether Kanye West becomes a good father figure. Love it or hate it, this is just one perspective, and the baby is happening whether you feel it is a monstrous event or a blessing. Feel free to chime in as to whether you think Kim will make a good mommy or whether it will all be drama!
