People are talking about a more powerful version of the Aston Martin Rapide ever since the standard model was dropped onto the market in 2010. In the past few months, the new Rapide S has been caught testing a few times, and now it has finally made its world debut.
The new Rapide S replaces the old Rapide in the company's lineup and has been described as "the most powerful four-door Aston Martin to date." The model is powered by an improved version of the new AM11 naturally aspirated 6.0-litre V-12 powerplant that adds in some extra ponies.
Along with the engine improvement, the Rapide S will receive a revised front grille and rear lip spoiler. There is also an optional Carbon Exterior Pack that further improves the sporty appearance of the luxury sedan.
The new Aston Martin Rapide S will be put on sale next month.
Updated 04/08/2013: Aston Martin has unveiled a video featuring Director of Product Development Ian Minards offering an overview of the many innovative technical and engineering features, including the assertive new front grille. Enjoy!
Hit the jump to read more about the new Aston Martin Rapide S.
When compared to the previous model, in the new Rapide S' engine has been lowered by 19 millimeters (0.74 inches), so a few changes were required in the car's exterior look. These updates include a new bonnet, new front bumper construction and new grille.
Aston Martin is also offering an optional Carbon Exterior Pack which includes front splitter, rear diffuser, mirror caps and rear lamp infills made of carbon fiber.
For the interior, Aston Martin is offering new luxury and sports-orientated options, starting with a new piano black interior pack that adds a mirror-like shine to the fascia, transmission tunnel center plate and door handles. These new elements have been combined with darker surrounds in the instrument binnacle and steering wheel with black horn-push surrounds.
There is also an optional duo-tone combination of perforated red-and-black leather. The rear seats can be folded at the push of a button and they allow increased load space.
Other optional features:
- Reversing camera
- Twin-screen rear-seat entertainment system with wireless headphones, remote control and six-disc DVD changer
- "Q by Aston Martin" service which offers uniquely-tailored options for individualization
On the exterior and the interior changes are quite limited, but there are tons of updates under the hood. In here, Aston Martin placed a new version of the new AM11 naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V-12 engine that delivers 17 percent more horsepower and 3 percent more torque than the previous version.
As a result, customers will now enjoy a total of 558 horsepower at 6,750 rpm and a peak torque of 457 pound-feet delivered at 5,000 rpm. Thanks to the extra 81 horsepower, the new Rapide S will sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.9 seconds (down from 5.2 seconds) and will go up to a top speed of 190 mph.
The improved V-12 engine received CNC-machined combustion chambers and dual variable camshaft timing, knock sensing, and a fully catalyzed stainless steel exhaust system.
The model has also received an improved dynamic stability control (DSC), which now offers three distinct settings: "Normal," "Sport" and "Track." These three settings are determined by an electronic control unit which takes sensor readings from the car's systems, including throttle position, brake position, steering wheel rotation and vehicle speed.

The new Aston Martin Rapide S will be put on sale through the brand's 146 dealers worldwide next month. Prices will be announced at a later date.
Thanks to the extra 81 horsepower, the new Aston Martin Rapide S has moved upmarket and it now targets high-end version of the previous Rapide competitors. For example, the new Rapide S has been put next to the second-generation Porsche Panamera Turbo.
The German model is powered by a 4.8-liter, V-8 turbocharged engine that produces 520 horsepower and a peak torque of 516.3 pound-feet. It can hit a top speed of 189 mph and sprints from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.9 seconds. As you can see, the Rapide S hangs in total power and luxury, but in terms of acceleration, you just can't beat the Porsche.

2014 Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Sedan
The Rapide S can also be considered a serious competitor for the 2014 Mercedes CLS 63 AMG, which is still in its testing phases. There are no official details on the 2014 model yet, but we believe it will come with the same 5.5-liter V-8 biturbo engine that delivers 525 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque.
The problem with the Mercedes model is that from factory it will likely come with a top speed limited to only 155 mph. With all the basic mechanics remaining the same as the 2013 model, it will be little bit faster from 0 to 60 mph: 4.4 seconds. A slightly closer competition than the Porsche, but the Benz still wins out in acceleration.

We are still awaiting pricing details on the new Rapid S, but on the surface, it is a capable sports sedan and features class-leading luxury. However, it falls short of models that are likely going to end up being significantly cheaper when it comes to pure performance.
- Delivers more power
- Faster than previous version
- New optional features
- We would have appreciated an improved appearance

Press Release
The stunning new Aston Martin Rapide S is making its debut with yet more luxury and yet more power on offer in its quintessentially elegant four-door silhouette.
The iconic British car maker's new luxury GT has been sympathetically redesigned andpainstakingly re-engineered to reassert its position as the world's most beautiful, and beautifully balanced, four-seat sports car.
Aside from the extensive design and engineering improvements, the luxurious new Rapide S – which replaces the outgoing Rapide in markets worldwide – is now even more refined thanks to a range of additions to the four-seater's sumptuous interior.
Still instantly recognisable as an Aston Martin, of course, the new Rapide S now boasts an imposing and assertive new 'face', created by virtue of the impressive and striking new full grille.
Imbuing the new car with an even more sporting, forceful demeanour, the revised front end design is matched at the back by a striking new rear deck profile which includes a more pronounced boot lid 'flip'. The aerodynamic and aesthetic upgrades both reinforce the sporting nature of new Rapide S and work to counteract lift at higher speeds.
Aston Martin Chief Executive Officer, Dr Ulrich Bez said: "The Rapide S is to me, without doubt, the most beautiful four-door sports car on the market today. This is, very clearly, the power of luxury in action.
"The car's stunning visual appeal is now matched by a much more powerful and yet more efficient engine – our exceptional new AM11 V12 – which increases massively both the excitement and performance potential of the Rapide S.
"It is a four-door sports car that uniquely combines luxury, style and sporting excitement in Aston Martin's most flexible and accommodating silhouette. Purity of proportion and exceptional elegance are mixed with truly sensational dynamic performance – this is the four-door sports car in its most versatile form and I am sure our customers around the world are going to love it!"
Engineered to excel
Changes under the new Rapide's skin are comprehensive, with a version of the new AM11 naturally-aspirated 6.0-litre V12 powerplant delivering unprecedented power and improved in-gear acceleration.
Power from the new engine jumps significantly versus that of its predecessor: up by 17% or a massive 81 PS from 477 PS at 6,000 rpm to a now very substantial 558 PS at 6,750 rpm.
Peak torque increases, too, up from 600 Nm to 620 Nm at 5,000 rpm. Meanwhile an even more marked improvement in torque occurs lower down the rev range, as pulling power rises by more than 40 Nm between idle and 4,000 rpm with an additional 50 Nm available at 2,500 rpm.
Naturally, increases in power and torque lead to even swifter performance as befits a four-door sports car. New Rapide S shaves 0.3 seconds off its 0-62 mph time, which drops from the 5.2 seconds of the current car to just 4.9 seconds for the new model. Top speed climbs, meanwhile, to 190 mph.
The 5,935 cc naturally aspirated V12 boasts race car technology – developments derived directly from Aston Martin Racing's successful WEC GT campaign – to maximise both performance and efficiency. The new AM11 engine thus boasts fully CNC machined combustion chambers and lighter, hollow, cam shafts.
Dual variable camshaft timing, knock sensing, even the fully catalysed stainless steel exhaust system – these are all engineering advances developed to preserve the V12's position as a mainstay of the Aston Martin range.
The engine is now even more efficient, too. Despite the very significant increase in peak power and torque, the Rapide S is appreciably more economical than before. CO2 emissions drop by seven per cent – from 355 g/km to 332 g/km – while fuel economy now stands at 19.9 mpg on the official EU combined cycle.
A product of the latest generation of Aston Martin's world-renowned VH engineering philosophy, which debuted in 2003, the new car of course benefits from many elements of the current Gen4 VH architecture.
The carefully conceived engineering changes continue as the new Rapide now offers even sharper agility and even quicker responses to driver input. The new AM11 engine – a key Gen4 component – has been lowered by 19 mm versus the position of the powerplant in the previous car, with a corresponding reduction in the sports car's centre of gravity.
The changes also lead to a tangible improvement in front end turn-in – no mean feat for a car that was already acknowledged as a leader in dynamic performance.
Aston Martin engineers at the company's global HQ in Gaydon have worked to revise the car's dynamic stability control (DSC) in line with its significant increases in both power and torque.
As befits the more sporting nature of new Rapide S the car benefits from the latest Gen4 iteration of Aston Martin's hi-tech Adaptive Damping System (ADS). The system now offers three distinct settings: 'Normal', 'Sport' and 'Track', with the character of each being tailored to the nature of Rapide S.
The ADS automatically alters the suspension settings to ensure the driver has high levels of control at all times, with the ability to respond quickly to different driving conditions. The different damping modes help to significantly broaden the character of the Rapide S, adapting its set-up to suit the driver's precise requirements. Thus it can be a luxurious GT car in Normal mode with the capacity to morph into a more assertive sports car in Sport and Track modes.
The damper settings are determined by an electronic control unit which takes sensor readings from the car's systems, including throttle position, brake position, steering wheel rotation and vehicle speed. This data establishes the prevailing driving conditions and the demands the driver is making on the car.
Head of Product Development at Aston Martin, Ian Minards, explains: "Growing the power in a luxury sports car is all very well, but maximising control and 'usability' of that increased power is, just as much, the engineers' challenge.
"Balance, poise and control are the keys to a successful sports car and the dynamic improvements we have made with Rapide S showcase our efforts to make this not just the most beautiful, but also the most beautifully balanced, car in its class."
He added: "Transmission calibration, ADS refinement, braking capability and engine output optimisation are among the many 'ingredients' which the team here at Gaydon have used to create a sports car of unerring quality and excitement."
Meanwhile, as with the new DB9, the new Rapide S achieves compliance with the latest European pedestrian protection regulations courtesy of its innovative new front grille design.
The lowered engine, new bonnet, new front bumper construction and new grille combine to deliver a uniquely innovative approach to pedestrian impact protection.
The patent-pending design – which features a unique 'keystone' construction – enables the grille to move rearwards on impact, whilst the central and outboard chin stiffeners give rigidity to the lower structure and support achievement of the leg impact regulations. Cut-outs on the front wing catwalks contribute to the achievement of the headform regulation.
The solution means Aston Martin can remain true to its design ethos, and avoid the use of plastic grilles and nose cone bumpers that stretch up in front of the bonnet.
First class cabin
As luxurious as it is thrilling, the new car now boasts a host of new luxury- or sports-orientated options, allowing buyers to more precisely tailor the car to their specific style.
The new optional Carbon Exterior Pack, for instance, immediately dials up the Rapide's sporting attitude. Front splitter, rear diffuser, mirror caps and rear lamp infills all fashioned from carbon fibre clearly signal the sporting nature of this 558 PS four-seater.
More pronounced luxury, on the other hand, comes from the new piano black interior pack that adds a deep, rich, mirror-like shine to the facia, transmission tunnel centre plate and door handles of the Rapide S. A darker surround in the instrument binnacle and steering wheel with black horn-push surround round off the pack's sumptuous additions. Luxurious blend headlinings in either tan or grey emphasise the luxury still further inside.
As would be expected of a modern Aston Martin, handcrafting is the order of the day in the Rapide S with the standard-fit pure glass transmission selector switches in the centre console one small yet important example of the truly authentic, bespoke, nature of the car's cabin.
However those with a desire for a more sporting ambience in their sports car will not be disappointed. Optional duotone perforated red and black leather makes its Aston Martin debut here – delivering a captivating visual combination that's unique to the new Rapide S.
Luxury is enhanced by the removal of extraneous 'noise' and the enhancement of desirable 'sound' – a fine distinction but one that helps the new car deliver an aural experience like no other. Improved NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) characteristics are derived from the likes of the new bonnet lining and revised windscreen cowl.
Flexibility comes in the form of four seats – the rearmost two capable of accommodating adults in a uniquely sporting setting – while at the touch of a button the individual back seats fold down to almost triple the Aston Martin's load space.
Options to further enhance the luxurious look and feel of the Rapide S include, subject to market, a reversing camera and twin screen rear seat entertainment system with wireless headphones, remote control and six-disc DVD changer.
Those seeking the ultimate in luxury and personalisation can also consider the 'Q by Aston Martin' service which offers uniquely-tailored options for individualisation. The Q service focuses on fashioning colour and materials with limitless boundaries precisely to customer choice and specification, enabling owners to give free rein to the creativity and indulge their desire for bespoke luxury.
The new Aston Martin Rapide S will be available to order through the brand's 146 dealers worldwide next month with prices confirmed closer to the on-sale date.
Press Release - August 6, 2014
Aston Martin is today revealing details of a raft of important enhancements to two of the brand's most popular and successful sports cars: the Vanquish ultimate GT and Rapide S four-door, four-seat, sports car.
With the arrival of 15 Model Year (15MY) cars in markets around the world over the next few months, the luxury British brand is offering not only considerably enhanced performance and much-improved fuel economy and emissions, but also an even more honed, precise and responsive driving experience.
With the debut of the new Touchtronic III eight-speed automatic gearbox in both Vanquish and Rapide S – the first time that this state-of-the-art gearbox has been incorporated into a transaxle layout – Aston Martin is improving every major area of the cars' performance and fuel economy. The brand's engineers have worked meticulously with technical partner, ZF, to develop the eight-speed technology and integrate it perfectly into the latest generation of the iconic and much-imitated Aston Martin VH architecture.
The 0-60 mph times for both the Vanquish and Rapide S are reduced in 15MY cars: The Vanquish drops from 4.1 seconds to just 3.6 seconds (3.8 seconds 0-100 km/h) and the Rapide S is capable of the same sprint in only 4.2 seconds (4.4 seconds 0-100 km/h) – also down by a full half second from its previous figure of 4.7 seconds. These impressive gains not only ensure the cars' exceptional competitiveness in their respective sectors, but also confirm Vanquish as the quickest accelerating series production Aston Martin in the company's 101-year history.
Changes to gear and final drive ratios allow the cars to be not only quicker but also more frugal, with reduced emissions too. In both sports cars the CO2 figure drops by an average of ten per cent – down to 298 g/km for Vanquish and 300 g/km for Rapide S – while economy is boosted to 31 mpg, on average an 11% improvement, on the EU's extra urban cycle for both the Vanquish and the Rapide S under the same stringent test conditions.
Combined with a revised final drive, the ratio changes also mean both cars are, for the first time, now capable of top speeds of 200 mph or above.
A reduction in exhaust gas back pressure as a result of ratio adjustment and other changes also benefits peak power, which rises by up to three bhp to a peak of 568 bhp (576 PS) in Vanquish, and two bhp, 552 bhp (560 PS), in Rapide S. Peak torque is up by 10 Nm, too, to 630 Nm at 5,500 rpm in all the cars.
The new eight-speed Touchtronic III automatic gearbox is not only three per cent lighter than its predecessor, it is also packaged more efficiently occupying precisely the same space within the car yet adding two further ratios over the outgoing transmission.
Touchtronic III delivers exceptional shift speed and moves between ratios as quick as 130 milliseconds – far quicker than even the most accomplished racing driver is capable of – while better gearbox efficiency allows more power and torque to be transmitted to the road more of the time.
Ian Minards, Product Development Director at Aston Martin, explained: "We have a long and successful technical partnership with ZF and so it was a natural step for us to adapt and integrate their world class 8HP transmission in to our transaxle layout."
"This has been a detailed piece of work involving careful consideration of many technical parameters including gear ratios, software integration and shifting strategies. This has delivered a significant step change in both vehicle performance and economy whilst preserving the unique Aston Martin V12 driving experience."
Gearbox software changes make for a truly comprehensive selection of available driving features such as 'Drive' and 'Drive Sport' modes along with 'Paddle Shift' and 'Paddle Shift Sport' options for more engaging, sporting, shift control.
Optimal, multi-ratio downshifts are available by pulling and holding the down shift paddle, allowing for the car to select the lowest available gear when under braking. Adaptive Drive Recognition (ADR), meanwhile, tailors shift points to the individual driver's style. Thus a more spirited driver in standard 'Drive' mode will rapidly adapt to enjoy a shift map more akin to the settings found in 'Drive Sport'. As the programming is reset during each key cycle – when the car is locked and unlocked – the perceived 'changes' to the car's nature are similarly reset.
Engine management upgrade
Away from the gearbox, 15MY Aston Martin Vanquish and Rapide S models benefit from the addition of the latest Bosch Engine Management System. The new system, which delivers more precise engine control and seamlessly communicates with the new gearbox, receives its first application in an Aston Martin that combines the AM29 V12 engine and an automatic gearbox.
Meanwhile other electronic and engineering changes have taken place in 15MY cars to deliver a consistent GT character by perfectly aligning the chassis with improvements in powertrain performance and accessibility. For instance, a revised torque tube reduces transmission noise transfer into the passenger compartment while revised DSC sees the retuned stability system optimised for the new gearbox. A revised steering ECU delivers an even more crisp and precise steering response.
Uprated dampers on the new Vanquish – 15% stiffer at the front and a full 35% stiffer at the rear – improve the dynamic characteristic of the car in line with its significantly enhanced performance. Rapide S, meanwhile, gets uprated larger front brakes. Both cars also benefit from a retuned brake booster and amended rear suspension bushes that are now 20% stiffer than before.
There are also subtle but important styling enhancements, both inside and outside the cars, that add extra visual appeal for 15MY Vanquish and Rapide S.
Outside there's the arrival of new ten-spoke forged alloy wheel designs, available in a variety of finishes, that not only enhance the cars' looks but save almost seven kilos in weight versus the standard wheel. There are also new paint colour options including, for the first time on Vanquish and Rapide S, the availability of the special paint colour Diavalo Red, previously limited to the breath-taking V12 Zagato.
Inside, the cars get new leather trim colour options including the contemporary blue-black Dark Knight, and bold Fandango Pink. Rapide S also gains the exciting option of a new Duotone leather seat finish in Sahara Tan and Vibrant Red, as well as a range of new headlining options that mix quilting with the finest leathers or Alcantara.
Director of Design Marek Reichman explained: "More bold and dynamic interior and exterior treatments are the perfect offering for customers of the latest models.
"It is, of course, possible to add more colour to our cars while maintaining Aston Martin's reputation for elegance and beauty, and I'm very happy to see this enhanced and extended colour palette offered to our loyal customers around the world."
The global market introduction of 15MY sports cars begins in Q3 of 2014, with more details on market-specific pricing and options available in due course.

Matt Barnes says the NBA has gotten soft
Aug 6, 2013, 11:01 AM EDT
During the offseason NBA TV will reshow some classic games and when you look back at older eras a few things jump out at you. For one, the game was played much faster in the 1980s — the Dallas Mavericks were the slowest paced team in 1985 at 98.8 possessions a game, the Rockets were the fastest in 2013 at 96.1.
Also, back in the 1980s and 90s, the game was allowed to be much more physical.
Matt Barnes was watching some of those old games and sent out this tweet.
Watching this Pistons v Celtics from 85.. Where u had to #REALLY foul some1 to hear the whistle. #NoFlopping #NoCharges (cont)—
Matt Barnes (@Matt_Barnes22) August 06, 2013
You could hand check. Wat happened to that style of play? #REALHOOP!! The NBA is so soft now, but I guess u can say that bout all sports smh—
Matt Barnes (@Matt_Barnes22) August 06, 2013
There are a lot of fans who ask the same question.
The answer is that many more fans stopped watching. During the 1990s teams used that physical play to turn the NBA game into much more of a grind, a battle nightly, and once the star of Michael Jordan went away a lot of fans showed their distaste for the style of play by tuning out. Ratings means money for television contracts, and money is what drivesthe league.
Calling the game tighter and making hand checking on the perimeter a foul opened the game up — quickness mattered, ball handling mattered, not just who could score through another hard foul. That combined with (and partially inspired by) bigs who could handle the ball on the wings (Kevin Garnett, Dirk Nowitzki and so on) changed the entire idea of positions and how to win games. Eventually ratings returned (although they now and forever remain star driven mostly).
The bottom line is the guys who played in the 1960s thought the game of the 1980s was soft. Now guys from the '80s think today's game is soft. In 20 years we can hear Kobe Bryant complain about how the game in 2030 is soft. It's a cycle that will go on as long as the NBA.
- shanydawg - Aug 6, 2013 at 5:11 PM
Barnes says, "todays NBA is soft"… but didn't finish the sentence with, "and it's NEVER been more popular in the US and world wide." who's wrong here?
- charnk - Aug 6, 2013 at 6:58 PM
I was watching the 86 championship recently between Houston and boston. Two slower teams of that era. The fast breaks were more impressive than anything I see now. It was way more physical and I saw a ton more talent than the latest championship.
- mytthor - Aug 7, 2013 at 3:45 AM
The League has gotten soft – the consequence of that is that a player like Barnes is what passes for a tough guy these days. I'd love to see him play that fake tough guy game against players like Dale and Antonio Davis.
- ndrick731 - Aug 7, 2013 at 1:04 PM
Today's players should just wear tutu's especially LeBron the flopper. Most of these stars of today are bench players in the 80's.
- shag12 - Aug 13, 2013 at 8:13 AM
No one who is purist and loves the game, wants to go back to that Pistons's era, when they beat the hell out of each other, and the game looked like the UFC. Give the finesse over that crap.

NASHVILLE (BP) -- Whenever there's an archaeological discovery related to the Bible, conflicting interpretations by various experts can leave a believer's head spinning.
Take the discovery in Israel of a palace from the era of King David earlier this year. An archaeologist from Hebrew University in Jerusalem said there's "unequivocal evidence" that David and his descendants ruled at the site. But critics, including some committed believers, say it could have belonged to other kingdoms and that David's palace likely would have been in Jerusalem some 18 miles northwest. Still others claim there is no archaeological evidence that David even existed. Similar confusion ensued this spring when archaeologists discovered a massive complex that may have been an administrative center in Abraham's native Ur, with division over whether the patriarch's Ur was at that site or farther north.
Since debate often surrounds the discovery of biblical sites, lovers of the Bible may be tempted to give up on archaeology, pronouncing it unhelpful and opting instead to accept Scripture's historical accounts on "blind faith," convinced that historical evidence will never be able to confirm biblical accounts. Admittedly, archaeology's main contribution to biblical studies has been to provide background information. But at the same time, 20th-century theologian Carl F.H. Henry reminded that archaeologists have done significant work in confirming biblical claims (see God, Revelation and Authority, volume 4).
Before giving up on archaeology, consider the following:
-- In the late 1800s, critical scholars regarded the Hittites as an Old Testament fiction. Except for references in the Bible, there was no evidence they existed. Then archaeologists discovered some 10,000 Hittite and Akkadian texts and over time concluded that Hittites were the dominant power in Asia Minor until 1200 BC.
-- Skeptics once regarded as ludicrous the claim that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible, since writing was thought not to have existed in his day. But thanks to archaeology, we now know that full-fledged phonetically spelled writing existed as early as 2400 BC, well before Moses.
-- Critics once claimed the Hebrew exile to Babylon was a myth. Over time, though, scholars of the ancient Near East realized, according to archaeologist William Albright, that "there is not a single known case when a town of Judah proper was continuously occupied through the exilic period."
-- Genesis 10:21 names Eber as a main figure in the line of Shem, producing the Hebrews, the Joktanide Arabs and some Aramean tribes. Numbers 24:24 calls these people groups "Eber" collectively. For years, critics said the name Eber had no historical basis. Then archaeologists discovered 15,000 clay tablets in 1976 in Syria, some of which mentioned Eber by name.
The examples of archaeology's value in confirming the Bible could continue, perhaps most notably with mention of the Dead Sea Scrolls, which helped establish the accuracy of the Old Testament text. But the idea is clear.
Of course, new finds will continue to spur debate, and archaeology is an inexact science. Still, informed believers should never let secular pundits convince them it has no value in confirming Scripture. As the decades pass, new discoveries will add to the list of accounts once scoffed at by skeptics but later established as indisputable facts.

↵That's not a mistake in making that headline plural. In a strange story that's sure to receive a great deal of attention in the next few hours, days and weeks, George Huguely -- a men's lacrosse player at Virginia, has been charged with the first degree murder of Yeardley Love -- a women's lacrosse player at the same school. Details from the Daily Progress: ↵↵
↵⇥The victim has been identified as Yeardley Love, 22, a fourth-year student from Cockeysville, Md., according to police. ↵⇥
↵⇥Officials haven't determined a cause of death, but Love's body, which was found at a 14th Street Northwest apartment, showed physical trauma, according to the statement. ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥Witnesses told police Huguely and Love had been in a relationship, according to authorities. ↵⇥↵
↵The university has issued a statement about the tragedy. It's obviously a very sad day for those in the Charlottesville community. ↵↵
↵The strangest bit ancillary of information today comes from an old Washington Post article from April 1, 2006. The topic? The Duke lacrosse investigation and how it was impacting players in the Virginia area. Both Huguely and his father, George Hugely Sr., were quoted in the piece: ↵↵
↵⇥"I sympathize for the team," Huguely said. "They've been scrutinized so hard and no one knows what has happened yet. In this country, you're supposed to be innocent until proven guilty. I think that's the way it should be." ↵⇥↵
↵⇥[...] ↵⇥↵⇥
↵⇥"Regardless of what winds up happening, you have to learn from this experience and take what you can from it," George Huguely Sr. said. "You always have to remember and can't let yourself be in a situation where something like this could happen." ↵⇥↵
↵While the two events are completely unrelated, you can't help but do a double take when reading these quotes from four years ago. If there's any additional info later in the day, we'll update this post. ↵↵
↵(H/T to SBJ's John Ourand on the WaPo link.) ↵↵

Comments about Shimano Calcutta CT-200B Baitcasting Reel:
I fish primarily on the in shore waters of Florida's "nature coast", in shallow waters for red, sheephead, black drum, pompano, etc. This is one of the smoothest casting reels I have ever owned. Smooth retrieve and sensitive adjustments for anti-backlash with various weight lures, and drag when the "big one is on". Have caught fish weighing up to 45# on 20# line with this little reel.

Glenn Llopis to Release New Women's Leadership Ebook on May 15th; Featuring Interviews with Top Women Executives and Leaders in North America
On the heels of a popular series of Forbes blogs on women's leadership, Glenn Llopis, Chairman and President of Glenn Llopis Group (GLG), a leading thought-leadership, human capital, and business strategy consultancy firm, will release his latest ebook, "Women Leaders Must Dive In, Not Just Lean In: The Six Fundamental Truths of the Dive-In Principle," on May 15th.
Prompted by the overwhelming response from women and men across the world to his Forbes February blog "The Most Undervalued Leadership Traits of Women," Llopis began developing the ebook, which takes a deeper dive into how women leaders need to trust themselves enough to make that conscious choice to enable their most natural skills and characteristics to build momentum for their personal brands. "The dive-in principle is not about being overly aggressive or focused on self-promotion," explains Llopis, a Forbes contributing business leadership writer, best-selling author, and former C-Suite executive. "It's more the opposite. Diving in is when you know that each decision you make towards being your most authentic self can potentially be that de?ning moment in your career that propels you forward as you reach for success and signi?cance."
Featuring interviews with Maritza Montiel, Deputy CEO and Vice Chairman, and Jennifer Steinmann, Deputy CEO and Chief Talent Officer at Deloitte; Michelle Patterson, Founder and President of The California Women's Conference and President and CEO of Women Network; Grace Killelea, CEO of Half the Sky Leadership Institute; and Carolyn Lawrence, President and CEO of Women of Influence, in the ebook, Llopis explores these leaders' insights on avoiding the traps of workplace politics, complacency and fear and learning to channel their awareness, instincts and natural capabilities to most effectively see, sow, grow and share the opportunities before them. Adds Llopis, "The best women leaders are opportunity experts who take action to seize the opportunities that are right in front of them. Unfortunately, opportunities seen are not always sown because we spend too much time doubting ourselves, searching for validation and/or lack the con?dence to be accountable - thus losing momentum and valuable time in the process."
As of July 2013, there were only 18 female elected presidents and prime ministers in power around the globe. In the business world, women currently hold only 4.6 percent of Fortune 500 CEO positions and the same percentage of Fortune 1000 CEO positions. As women continue their upward trajectory in the business world, they have yet to be fully appreciated for the unique qualities and abilities they bring to the workplace.

For more than 40 years, homeowners have entrusted their yards to the experts at Weed Man. Perhaps it's because the employees do more than just perform lawn-care services—they cultivate close working relationships with their clients. This means they are available by telephone or smoke signal any time of the day and promptly respond to faxes or emails within 48 hours, and they also explain the technical side of lawn care to their clients. Of course, what keeps customers coming back is the attention the staff members lavish on grass during services, which range from eradicating weeds with EPA-approved products to aerating lawns to ousting destructive insects.

Guests select from more than 50 varieties including goldflame spirea, purple leaf sandcherry, and blue chip juniper.

Decorative grasses such as purple fountain grass paint landscapes with fall hues, while plants such as cotoneaster suit green thumbs searching for low-maintenance lawns.
When Seymour and Esther Fischgrund founded Fish Furniture in 1925, the couple personally stained, painted, and housebroke each piece before sending it home with a customer. Today, Fish Furniture operates a bit more efficiently, but with the same attention to detail and quality. In the eight-plus decades since opening, the business has grown from 2 employees to 70. It features a pair of 40,000-square-foot show rooms, inside of which sit upholstery, bedroom sets, and office trimmings bearing solid-wood construction and the names of well-known manufacturers. Outside the show rooms, Fish's staff travels to homes to provide interior-design advice, and its courtesy touchups mend scuffs and scrapes in a more fashionable manner than haphazardly placed band-aids.

Southern Gardening: Spring brings garden shows
Cabin fever seems to hit me earlier each year, and it doesn't help that we haven't had much of a winter the past couple of years.
I already have tomato transplants ready to put in the ground even though it's still two months from the traditional last frost date here on the coast. I saw blooming annuals for sale this weekend at a local garden center. I think I'm feeling a little warm.
Every time I find a new catalog in the mailbox, the pictures look so good that I start to feel a little guilty that I don't have at least one of everything. Now if I'm feeling this way and I'm a professional gardener, what's the casual gardener supposed to do?

Over the course of the past few years, I have come to believe that today's young Americans are more conservative than their elders. I think this applies to younger people who don't even identify with conservatism, the Republican Party, or even politics in general.
Renowned pollster John Zogby has confirmed what I have long suspected. In an article in Forbes about what he calls First Globals (18-29 year olds), Zogby writes: "On some key issues, majorities of First Globals are not doctrinaire liberals. The poll found less than majorities agree with liberals on some of their most cherished beliefs. For example: 44 percent agree health insurance is a right government should provide for those who can't afford it, 43 percent agree with the same statement about food and shelter, 37 percent agree government should spend more to reduce poverty, 20 percent agree government spending is an effective way to economic growth."
It's no secret that many young voters who turned out for Obama in 2008 have since soured on his presidency. But these numbers show they might be souring on the overall big-government agenda that has long characterized the Democratic Party. Interestingly, young Americans also reject the big-government aspects of today's Republican Party. Zogby writes: "Lest Republicans get too giddy at those findings, they should also know less than majorities agree with these conservative and neo-con ideals: 22 percent agree it's sometimes necessary to attack potentially hostile countries rather than waiting until we are attacked, 23 percent are willing to give up some personal freedoms for the sake of national security, 39 percent agree cutting taxes is an effective route to economic growth." He adds, "21 percent agree religious values should play an important role in government, and 25 percent agree homosexuality is morally wrong."
Today, there are many factions and coalitions that make up the contemporary conservative movement. But few would disagree that the Barry Goldwater-Ronald Reagan notion of small government and constitutional fidelity has long been the primary core of American conservatism. Goldwater has always been a hero to libertarians, a figure that Fox News' Judge Andrew Napolitano even calls the father of the American libertarianism. Even the Gipper himself once famously proclaimed his devotion to the libertarian movement, saying, "If you analyze it, I believe the very heart and soul of conservatism is libertarianism."
As you know, I'm a traditional conservative who often gets labeled a libertarian because I defend and promote libertarian heroes and ideals. This is in part because I agree with libertarians on most issues, but also because the conservative movement has been effectively neutered for decades because of the complete absence of a libertarian influence within the Republican Party.
Social conservatives and neoconservatives, the latter being primarily concerned with maintaining a hawkish foreign policy above all else, dominated the party during the George W. Bush years. Reagan believed conservatism was a three-legged stool consisting of religious, economic-libertarian, and national security factions. Under Bush, there was no economic-libertarian conservatism. It was non-existent. As long as Republicans were pro-life, anti-gay marriage, and enthusiastic about every war our government waged, this was enough to be a "conservative" for most of the last decade. Today's conservative youth are not conventional Republicans, but they are aligned with traditional conservatism.
Religious conservatives and neoconservatives have been important and influential factions on the American Right. The GOP is just as responsible for this nation's massive federal growth as the Democrats because of the Republican Party's lack of libertarian principles. In 2008, the youth turned out in record numbers for Obama because, in large part, they rejected Bush and contemporary conservatism. Today, many of them now reject Obama, as well as both political parties.
So where do they turn? There is no easy answer. Noting trends similar to those Zogby cites, CNN's Timothy Stanley writes: "The GOP can no longer ignore its libertarian 'fringe.' On the contrary, it will have to reach out to a new generation of activists who don't regard religious piety or continual warfare as sacred tenets of conservatism," Stanley adds. "Whatever happens in 2012, we are living through a significant moment in the history of conservatism."
We might also be living through conservatism's rebirth. It is a clich to look at young people and say you fear for the future. I, on the other hand, can't wait for it.
Jack Hunter assisted Sen. Jim DeMint with his latest book, Now or Never: Saving America From Economic Collapse. He is also the official campaign blogger for GOP presidential candidate Ron Paul, and he co-wrote Rand Paul's The Tea Party Goes to Washington.

(PIX11) — When one man jokingly posted an old picture of acclaimed director Steven Spielberg on the set of "Jurassic Park," some users angrily rebuked him for "poaching," apparently unaware that dinosaurs are all extinct.
The picture shows Spielberg sitting next to what appears to be a set model of a Triceratops.
