GPS Tracking of Homeless Volunteers13 Nov 2014
Odense, the third largest city in Denmark, has come up with an ingenious plan to track the whereabouts and congregation of the homeless population through the use of GPS tracking devices.
The plan is simple, homeless volunteers agree to carry the tracking device in their pockets for one week in exchange for three warm meal vouchers in exchange.
The small pilot program involves 20 volunteers and will specifically gather data on the places where the homeless eat and sleep as well as how they live.
Why is Odense going to all this trouble?
The GPS devices allow city planners to observe the normal activities of the homeless in hopes that they can provider shelters, coffee rooms, and warming areas in locations where they are needed most.
This also helps social workers know where the people who need their help most are generally located. In a city that had nearly 6,000 homeless in 2013 – 1,349 of which were between the ages of 18 and 24 (nearly double the homeless population in this age group from the year before), these services are sorely needed.
The idea of the program for the city of Odense is so that groups and organizations who want to help the city's vulnerable homeless population know where to go to offer the services they have available including things like food, blankets, coats, health screenings, and ore.
The program offers a great deal of promise including for groups and organizations interested in building shelters in areas where they are needed most – and creating safer places for the homeless to gather.
Some have questioned the ethics of this particular pilot program. The small scale and completely voluntary nature of the program, however, make it largely benign. It is far less harmful or exploitative than attempts other cities are making to help curb or cull the homeless populations, or exploit them, within those cities.
The way the city sees it, the participants are receiving much-needed nourishment in exchange for participating while the city is receiving valuable data. It's a mutually beneficial experience that promises better long-term services for the homeless throughout the city in years to come.
What Kind of GPS trackers are being used?
The technology involved in this pilot program is the same type of technology used to track dementia patients who have habits of wandering off and getting lost.
While it isn't unheard of to use GPS tracking devices to keep track of people, Odense council member Tom Rodding believes it's the first time this technology has been used to track people for this purpose. He goes on to say, "As far as I know, this has never been tried anywhere else in the world before."
The Phoenix Business Journal reports that 69 percent of workers in the U.S. admit to wasting time on the clock daily. With payroll costs steadily rising in practically every industry, it makes perfect sense that employers are looking for new ways to eliminate waste and maximize productivity in your workplace.
GPS Tracking and the Law
Fortunately, technology is rising to the occasion and can provide you with many tools to help fill that need. Before you begin though, it's important to understand your rights, risks, and responsibilities when it comes to tracking your employees with GPS.
At the moment, there is some degree of uncertainty about the side laws will eventually come down on. Technology is evolving faster than lawmakers are able to find common ground or agreement. One thing to remember is that there is a fine line between keeping track of employees in order to ensure they are where they are supposed to be and invading their privacy.
Responsible Monitoring 101
HR Daily points out that legitimate monitoring of employees through GPS tracking during the word day should not violate an employee's privacy provided that monitoring is for business purposes and not abused. In order to avoid liability, the article recommends that employers notify employees that they may be monitored by GPS tracking and what that means.
For instance you may want to explain that you have GPS tracking devices on your equipment that may be used to monitor the location, safety, and activity of drivers – for business purposes.
Under current laws notifying employees that company vehicles have GPS monitoring equipment installed and that they may be monitored lets employees know they have little expectation of privacy when driving company vehicles. To protect your business interests, however, it's wise
to get consent forms in writing acknowledging that you have informed all employees
It's when companies ambush employees with the information that you have been monitoring their activities without their knowledge and/or consent that problems could arise.
Potential justifications for GPS monitoring include the following:
- Locating vehicles in aftermath of accident, emergency, or theft
- Monitoring drivers' activities to ensure proper rest and meal breaks
- Determine location and movement (this aids with dispatching nearest vehicles for callouts)
It is possible that courts would rule, in some instances, that an employer's need to monitor the actions or drivers or location of vehicles would outweigh the employee's expectation of privacy, but it's better to err on the side of caution and inform drivers of your intention to monitor all vehicles for the sake of your business interests.
How Beneficial is GPS Tracking?
Of course you may be wondering if GPS tracking is beneficial enough for the potential legal fallout. The bottom line is that it saves businesses money at every turn with benefits like those below.
- Lower insurance rates.
- Lower fuel consumption.
- Routine maintenance notices (leading to fewer breakdowns).
- Less time lost to traffic jams.
- Reduced labor costs (creating more efficient routes for drivers leads to fewer overtime hours and much greater efficiency all around).
- Repeat business (happy customers who appreciate more accurate time windows estimates).
These are just the highlights.
In addition to getting signed consent to GPS tracking from all your drivers, make sure you check local and state laws to see if there are any have restrictions related to GPS monitoring in place.
Knowing the laws in your state, as well as laws that are in the works, can help you keep your business ahead of the curve.
A park in Minnesota is undergoing a research project that is meant to protect people who are at risk of wandering from their park. They will use GPS tracking devices for this project.
In Twin Cities, Minnesota, a research team is utilizing the advanced technology of global positioning systems (GPS) and GPS tracking technology to locate visitors who might become lost. This typically includes people who visit their parks that are at a higher risk for wandering, such as those with Alzheimer's disease, dementia, or autism.
"This technology is a great public safety tool," said Three Rivers Police Chief Hugo McPhee. "It is ideal for guests with Alzheimer's, dementia or autism — anyone who has the potential for wandering. With this tool, a vulnerable individual will be able to go camping and enjoy an outing with family, but at the same time the family can have peace of mind that their loved one won't wander off."
There are currently four gadgets that are being tested, each of which includes a personal GPS tracker that can be worn by the person that needs to be tracked. There is an alert, which sounds like an alarm, if that person wanders off too far. It also includes a GPS mapping tool that lets the caregiver see exactly where they have wandered off to, just in case they miss the first alarm.
The wearable and portable GPS tracking devices will look just like watches and fit comfortably on the person's wrist. There will be an app that is monitored by their parent or caregiver, so that they can comfortably visit parks and enjoy nature without worrying about what might happen.
Many people fail to take their friends or loved ones to parks and other outdoor places because they fear losing them or them getting injured. The researchers hope to prevent that by allowing the caregiver to track their whereabouts at all times and be alerted if they start wandering off.
Users will be able to set a proximity on the GPS watches, so that it works with the caregiver's app or device. That way, they are always near the caregiver during these outings.
The city's parks have had 57 reported missing persons in the last year alone, each of which was due to people wandering off. While these cases were all resolved, they don't want to risk people getting injured when it could be avoided.
Jonah Weinberg, who works as director of the Autism Society of Minnesota, said:
"Many parents who have children with autism don't go to the park for fear that if they look away for three seconds, their child might be gone."
It could mean enjoying activities that were previously too risky and dangerous. If someone with Alzheimer's or autism wanders off, they could quickly become lost, confused and risk serious injury.
Once the project is complete, park officials plan to have the GPS devices free of charge to be used at any Three Rivers parks, which include 26 different locations in the area. Visitors will be able to go on hikes, enjoy nature or even go camping with their family, and always be able to locate their loved one. It gives everyone excellent peace of mind.

Margaritaville closes on financing for Louisiana casino
by MBJ Staff
Published: February 14,2012
Tags: casinos, construction, Conventions, entertainment, financing, gambling, gaming, hospitality, hotels, lodging, meetings, restaurants, tourism, tourists, visitors
BOSSIER CITY, La. — Bossier Casino Venture, LLC (d/b/a Margaritaville Resort Casino) has closed its project financing for the Margaritaville Resort Casino to be built in Bossier City, La.
Construction on the $197 million casino and hotel resort is expected to commence immediately and extend for approximately 16 months, with a targeted opening date in June 2013.
The resort will feature a 30,000-square-foot, single-level gaming floor, unlike the other existing riverboat gaming facilities in the Shreveport-Bossier City market. The casino will include over 1,300 slot machines and 46 table games. The project will also feature a 396-room, 18-story hotel, a 900-seat entertainment venue, spa and fitness center, outdoor pool deck and dining area, landscaping and four food and beverage outlets, including the trademark Margaritaville Restaurant.
Concurrently with the closing of the project financing, Bossier Casino Venture exercised its option with Isle of Capri Casinos Inc. and acquired Grand Palais Riverboat Inc., including the gaming license held by that entity. The movement of the license to Bossier Parish has previously been approved by the Louisiana Gaming Control Board and the voters in Bossier Parish.
Margaritaville will be the sixth casino in the Shreveport-Bossier City gaming market and the first new facility in more than a decade. The Margaritaville Resort Casino in Bossier City will be the third and largest Margaritaville-themed casino, with one location open in Las Vegas, Nev., and another expected to open within the next few months in Biloxi.
The Margaritaville Resort Casino project will be located on the Red River, adjacent to the Louisiana Boardwalk.
Houlihan Lokey and Macquarie Capital served as joint-bookrunners on the project financing.

You might have already noted the main 8 colorations available in the Balinese & Siamese breed. The four traditional color points and four Lynx points totaling 8, but there are more colorations available; some currently being established by cat fanciers here in the United States and abroad, including Azureys Cats.
The red point or "flame point" Balinese cat is that with pointed markings of the red/orange color. The term "flame" came about due to the similarity in coloring to a flame, and the Balinese shows this example very well with its plumed tail resembling a fiery torch. There's no natural form of a red point within Siamese or Balinese lines. To achieve the look of this color point, past Siamese/Balinese cat fanciers and breeders mixed purebred Siamese/Balinese lines with an orange/red tabby cat to produce the red colored points in the Siamese/Balinese breed.
Red-pointed Siamese have existed for only a couple of decades and Balinese red points are just starting to emerge considering the much work needed in order to improve and diversify these lines and produce outstanding red points within the Balinese breed. One current flaw that's currently being tackled by breeders the removal of the tabby markings seen in present red pointed Siamese/Balinese cats.
Though some kittens/cats show profound "ghost striping"; which are faint tabby marks that later disappear with age, red points happen to still carry tabby marks after this period due to their tabby cat background. I hope to one day produce red pointed old-style Balinese cats that neither produce nor ever show these tabby marks; but to produce a balanced point like of the primary pointed coloring of the Balinese.
I'm currently working with close mentors and Balinese breeders to have this accomplished but it could take years. Azureys has plans to produce Red points to better improve these lines, so please stay tuned.
Red-pointed cats were first produced in other breeds such as the Persian as cat fanciers wished to produce purebred lines with the color of the red tabby cat. It's said that by accident Siamese cats would breed with red tabby cats that would later produce these red-pointed Siamese cats, but the same could have been the case with trying to produce Siamese cats with red points by past cat fanciers.
The first records of flame pointed Siamese cats appeared in the 1930s. In 1948, United Kingdom breeder Nora Archer, with the help of other breeders, started working profoundly with the Siamese breed to produce red points. Miss Ray, another breeder working with red points, worked very hard in trying to establish red/flame pointed only breeding lines, to better eliminate the problems of the tabby striping and in having the color point recognized by cat registries.
After many attempts, the GCCF; The Governing Council of the Cat Fancy, didn't allow registration of the red points as an actual Siamese, but as a Foreign Shorthair cat, which Miss Ray and other breeders did not accept. This was unacceptable to many red pointed Siamese breeders who felt it should be considered part of the Siamese breed, as it was of Siamese type and eye color. It was also a pure Siamese cat, genetically speaking in terms of the cats being bred Siamese to Siamese lines only for more than 10 generations of the original outcross. She wasn't successful in seeing the red pointed Siamese recognized, which occurred in the year 1971, after her death.
Since then, red points have been catching up as one of the popular rare colors of the Siamese and Balinese breeds, but they're still a work in progress in the United States. Registries in the United Kingdom have been much more organized in only allowing certain red point Siamese and their lines accepted as actual pure Siamese cats, due to their Siamese genetic and breeding lineage concentration, thus having more diversified lines to work with in Europe.
You might have not known this, but there are also Siamese/Balinese cats with tortoise shell/freckled points. Due to the same red/orange gene available to the Siamese/Balinese that caused the red points to occur, this same gene can cause a difference in appearance for Siamese/Balinese cats with a different genetic Chromosome sequence.
The red/orange gene is only present and carried in the X chromosome strand. Females carry the paired XX chromosomes and males carry the paired XY, this is what also determines gender. This means a female cat needs to inherit 2 (X) red/point strands in order to be a red point, and a male only needs to inherit 1 (X) to be a red point.
For this reason, litters from either a Tortie and/or Red point cat mainly produce Tortie females, and Red point males. It is rare to produce red point females but they have occurred in the past through successful breedings between red points/tortie points to concentrate the red/orange gene more in the genetic sequence.
Tortie points are an acquired taste to some, but they have much increased in popularity as the "other" type of point available to the Siamese/Balinese pointed colors. I have seen very beautiful Tortie point Balinese cats and they are rarity to see.
A Foreign White Siamese or Foreign White Balinese cat is a purebred Siamese/Balinese cat without color points or markings but have the physical appearance and deep blue eyes of the Siamese/Balinese cat.
They are completely white in color, and they carry a Siamese color point genetically beneath its white coat. This means that under the white coat, there's either a seal, blue, chocolate or lilac pointed Siamese or Balinese cat; genetically speaking of course! Because of this, here at Azureys Cats we like to describe them as " Ivory points " because they are "white pointed" cats concealing their true pointed colors.
True Foreign White cats descent from the original and initial breeding stock of Patricia Turner (Scintilla Cattery) that took place in the 1960's and produced the first and true White Siamese, Foreign White Siamese cat. The Foreign White cat is the only type of cat that can be completely white in color and have blue eyes without the risk of deafness. Due to this special combination, they are considered very unique and rare cats.
Cats that do not carry the gene for color point, and that are not direct descendants of the first breeding of Foreign White Siamese cats (Lisvane Lilac Domino & Orchid Lilias), are NOT considered real Foreign White Siamese or Balinese cats. Foreign white cats are coded as W 67 under the Fédération Internationale Féline, which is a major international cat association. They are the only cat association to respect and regard the Foreign White Siamese and Balinese cat in its true form.
A white Oriental breed cat with eyes of blue (W 61), green (W64) or odd-eyes (W63), or a breeding cross of Siamese to Khao Mannee or other white colored cat breed is NOT considered a real Foreign White (W 67) Siamese or Balinese cat. The initial breeding of the Foreign White Siamese was made possible many years ago in the 1960's by crossing a white British Short hair cat to a Siamese. That interbreeding produced the first White Siamese cats that were later used to make the foundation for the Foreign White. Those foundation cats were then only bred to Siamese blood lines to concentrate their genes and breed standard (genetics, appearance and personality). This was made possible by breeding strictly Siamese to Siamese over many decades, which is why they are considered pure Siamese cats due to their extensive lineage. For this reason deafness is almost non-existent in the Foreign White cat, due to its Siamese genetics.
Foreign white Siamese and Balinese cats are very rare and non-existent in the United States at the time of writting this in 2013. Some breeders in the States are working to establish breeding programs for the rare color. In all actuality only a few breeding lines from the original outcross of the Foreign white Siamese exist in European countries, but they are usually of the extreme look due to the "modern" registry standards that also exists in Europe. Now imagine how rare it would be to find a real Foreign white Siamese or Balinese cat of the Old-Style standard, it's...almost nonexistent at this time.
At Azureys Cats we are working to establish a Foreign White breeding program of Old-Style standard, with purity in mind (Siamese and Balinese cat lines only), as Foreign White cat breeder pioneer; Patricia Turner did by breeding only with traditional color pointed Siamese cats.
With the popularity and rise of the Siamese cat breed in England, it is said that English cat fanciers wanted to produce a cat with the same personality, appearance, and deep blue eyes of the Siamese but in a completely white coat. Cat fanciers knew that this was neary impossible, as there were genetic problems in producing a cat that is completely white in coat color with blue eyes. Some of those defects included: partial or total deafness, degradation of vision, low immune systems, infertility and vitality in the overall health of the animal.
A completely white colored animal with blue eyes does not occur naturally without genetic consequences. Animals that are completely white are mainly defined as albinos, where the gene responsible for albinism doesn't allow for dark blue eyes to occur but pinkish- red eyes due to the abnormality. In order to produce a white cat with blue eyes would involve the consequence of producing one with deafness and other genetic consequences already seen in today's completely white cats with blue eyes.
The first recorded attempt to produce a white Siamese cat was in the 1960s with the efforts of Patricia Turner, a profound cat geneticist and breeder at the time. Patricia Turner received inspiration when she saw a photograph of a lilac point Siamese cat with very faded color points, giving the appearance of a completely white Siamese with eyes of dark blue.
This picture inspired Patricia Turner to produce a white cat that had naturally blue eyes without any genetic defects and deafness. She realized the genetic importance of the Siamese cat breed in terms of its partial-albanism gene and the blue eyes associated with the gene. She then established a breeding program with other trusted breeders with the goal of producing a white colored Siamese with naturally blue eyes, and without genetic defects, so to avoid deafness.
In the start of her breeding program, Patricia Turner bred a white British Short hair cat named Orchid Lilias with a Lilac point Siamese cat named Lisvane Lilac Domino. From this breeding the F1
We must keep in mind how important the Himalayan gene is in producing a white cat with blue eyes, without genetic defects. The Himalayan gene is responsible for producing cats with pointed colors. This gene is heat sensitive in terms of the pigmentation/color being affected by either warm or cool temperatures. The cooler it is, the darker the color of the coat becomes. Due to this temperature sensitivity, Siamese/Balinese cats only have pointed colors on their nose, ears, feet, and tail as they are the coolest areas in a cat's body and it allows for the body, which is the warmest, to become diluted or white.
Patricia Turner and other breeders knew that the only way possible to produce a white cat with blue eyes without deafness would be through a crossing with the Siamese breed. She started by crossing a lilac point Siamese with a white British Shorthair to produce offspring that would eventually be white colored but have the Himalayan gene. The Himalayan gene is also responsible in producing cats that aren't deaf due to influencing the production of Tapetum Ludicum in the ears, thus preventing deafness in these cats.
Breeders also acknowledged that by breeding foreign whites to a seal point, they would produce offspring with darker eye color. At the same time, another breeding program took place in Ireland to produce foreign whites. Instead of using a pure Siamese cat for this project, they would use a red point or took place approximately more than 30 years, to really establish a white cat without any flaws, and one with actual purebred Siamese bloodlines generation after generation.
Foreign White cats are becoming harder to find and to breed as some breeders don't aim to preserve breeding lines purely as Siamese or Balinese. Due to this, Foreign White breeding lines are becoming more distant and lost. The reason for this is due to some cat registries considering the Foreign White as an Oriental breed cat, even Foreign White cats with pure Siamese lineage/bloodlines and no Oriental breed ancestry.
Another problem that exists is that of some cat associations and past breeding programs that have changed their breeding policies. For starters, they are now allowing Oriental breed cats to be bred with Foreign Whites, eventually losing these foreign white cat lines, as they produce cats of other colors (non-pointed) and producing White Orientals with blue eyes (W61), which look like Foreign Whites but are not Foreign White Siamese cats, genetically speaking. For this reason tests exist to determine which cat is a real Siamese or Balinese Foreign White cat, and not a "copy-cat" . A DNA test can be processed by the University of Veterinary Medicine-at UC Davis to determine which genetic code they posses, either: cs/cs, C/csor, CC.
Genetically a Foreign White Siamese or Balinese cat( W 67) is genetically coded as: c s/cs which is determined by the color point restriction specific to only the Siamese and Balinese cat breed. Oriental breed cats that are blue, green or odd-eyed and of a white coat( W 61) are genetically coded as: CC, or C/cs if the cat is a color point (Siamese cat) carrier but not a true Siamese cat.
These new policies and mentalities not only cause harm to the pure Foreign White Siamese/Balinese lines that breeders seek to preserve and improve the lines with, but these cats with Oriental breed parentage have a higher probability of producing offspring with green eyes and different color designs not known to the Siamese/Balinese cat breed. Oriental breed cats also come in a complete white coat color, which closely resembles a foreign white, but once more they are NOT pure Siamese or Siamese cats genetically speaking. They cannot produce foreign white offspring as well, only an actual foreign white cat can.
Though there are breeders that endorse breeding Foreign white Siamese to Oriental lineage cats (we are not talking about foreign white cats registered as Orientals that are of Siamese lineage only), we have to keep in mind that those breeding foreign white's and those who have done so in the past have enough reasoning against it. Foreign white cats may become completely extinct if Siamese/Balinese breeders don't aim to preserve these pure lines or establish pure lines for the future.
A Foreign white Siamese or Balinese cat should be bred to the following:
To learn more of the Foreign White Siamese and the breeding practices involving it, please read/visit:
30 Years of Breeding Foreign White cats, by Hetty Berntrop from the UK
Balinesen, Balinese breeder in
My goal as a Balinese breeder is to introduce pure, white foreign old-style Balinese cats without any oriental/colored short/long-haired lines in them, but of Siamese background only. The reason for this is because of the mixture of lines involving orientals in their colorations and appearances. Oriental short/long-hairs aren't pure Siamese cats, but a mixture of them, which can also allow green or amber eyes and many appealing colors not seen or allowed in the Siamese or Balinese breed. This in all actuality is not a purebred or an actual Siamese/Balinese, due to when breeding cats with lynx points or other Siamese/Balinese cats they do not breed true, but have other color mixtures involved.
This goal may be almost impossible as foreign white Siamese lines are becoming impure little by little, but it would be an added goal if we need to re-purify them. Please stay tuned!

Melchizedek Gospel—Response Among the Hebrews (Part 1)
in Religion
Sublime concepts of monotheism matured all over the world not long after the appearance of Machiventa Melchizedek at Salem in Palestine. The progress of the Hebrews was not an unbroken and continuous development; and they borrowed freely from the religion, morality, and philosophy of the entire Levant. It is through the Hebrew religion that much of the morality and religious thought of Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Iran was transmitted to the Occidental peoples.

Olympic men's downhill many things, but fair isn't one of them
Feb 9, 2014, 9:45 PM EST
SOCHI — Here's the thing you can feel, really feel, when watching Bode Miller ski the downhill: He's on the edge. He's pushing the edge. In his words, he's pushing the line. All of the downhill skiers are but maybe you feel it a little more with Miller. He's on the very edge.
The edge of what? Well, that's a little bit harder to pinpoint. He's always on the edge of a crash, of course, but it feels even more dangerous than that. It's like he and the other downhillers are on the edge of something disastrous, something calamitous, something hard to put into words.
"Hhhhh!" the person next to me sounds off five or six times while Miller skis — the sound of catching breath. "Huhhh," she inhales when he's turning and looks as if he's about to flip. "Huhhh!" she inhales when he crashes into a gate. "Huhhh!" she inhales when it seems like he's about to go bouncing off the course and, possibly, into the outer atmosphere never to be seen again. It's like a sustained two-minute horror movie.
VIDEO: Comparing Bode's run to Mayer's
The alpine downhill is, perhaps, the marquee event of the Games because of that "Huhhh" sound, because of the feeling in the pit of the stomach, because even with all the thrilling jumps and blazing speed around the Games, it is the sport that grabs your inside for a few thrilling seconds. And then it's over.
That means: Over. There's one run down the mountain. That's all. In a sports world of second chances and efforts to make things even for everybody, the downhill is thoroughly and unapologetically unjust and biased. You get your turn. If you catch a bad break on the light, or the wind changes direction, or the course is chewed up for your run, or the weather takes a bad turn … you deal with it. There's no second chance.
And because of this: We are on a 25-year run of mostly random Olympic champions. The greatest downhill skiers of the last quarter century are probably, in no particular order: Austrians Michael Walchhofer, Stefan Eberharter and the legendary Hermann Maier (the Herminator); the great Swiss skier Didier Cuche; fellow Swiss skier Franz Heinzer who won three consecutive World Cup downhill titles; France's Luc Alphand who would become a race car driver; Norway's current genius of the downhill Aksel Lund Svindal and, heck, let's throw in Bode MIller because so many downhill skiers are in awe of his guts and will.
Here's one thing that is true of all nine of those men who have dominated the downhill for a quarter century.
MORE: Margin calls — U.S. talks Alpine variables
Not one of them won an Olympic downhill gold medal.
It's pretty wild, if you think about it. It would be like taking the nine fastest sprinters of the last 25 years and not one of them wins an Olympic gold in the 100m. The Olympic downhill was once the place to elevate the greatest downhill skiers — Franz Klammer, Jean Claude Killy, Toni Sailer, Bernhard Russi — into legendary figures.
MORE: Bode Miller disappointed, but dealing
But now — randomness rules. In Torino in 2006, for instance, France's Antoine Deneriaz won gold. It was the only international downhill race he ever won. The great Michael Walchhofer, two-time defending World Cup champion, settled for the silver, the only downhill medal he ever won.
In 1998, France's Jean-Luc Cretier won the downhill. It was HIS only international victory. Hermann Maier, like more than a dozen others, crashed on the seventh turn and could not finish. Maier won gold medals in the super-G and the giant slalom in his career. But the downhill always eluded the Herminator.
In 1994 it was American Tommy Moe, and, right, he never won a World Cup downhill race either. Franz Heinzer — who, as mentioned, had won three World Cup titles in a row — crashed. Two years earlier, Heinzer finished sixth.
Sunday, everyone was looking to Bode and Svindal and Adrien Theaux of France. They are the best in the world. Miller was the most intriguing of the bunch; though he's 36 and has been written off, he had been awe inspiring in training. Two out of three sessions, he had finished with the fastest training time. After his breathtaking Saturday session, Kjetil Jansrud of Norway issued a quote on Miller's run was blunt and to the point: "There's not much to say besides it was epic."
"It's a f-ing real course," Miller explained, as only Miller can explain.
MORE: Matthias Mayer restores Austrian pride
Then, Sunday, a 23-year-old named Matthias Mayer went out early on that bleepin' real course and put up a pretty good time. He didn't think it was THAT good a time, but then nobody really expected much of him. Mayer is the son of Helmut Mayer, the 1988 silver medalist in the super-G, and he's considered a bit of a skiing phenom but so far he had not done much in the downhill. He had never won an international race.
Miller went four skiers later. He would say something about the sun going down on him and that causing some issues. He would say that the middle of the course just slowed down. Then, this is the deal with the downhill. No mercy. He was faster than Mayer at the top of the track but he slowed, he had a brush with a gate, and he simply could not find enough speed. His run certainly FELT dangerous. But it was a half second slow.
Svindal went shortly after Miller. He too could not find enough speed to get on the medal stand. Theaux followed and could not come close. The only one who did come close to Mayer was Italian Christof Innerhofer who is worth mentioning because he's also an Armani swimsuit and ski wear model, plays the stock market, and takes painkillers for his back every single day so he can continue to ski. THAT is a downhill skier. He fell six-hundredths of a second short.
MORE: What makes Bode great after all these years?
And the times got slower and slower after that. Mayer won gold. It made him the fourth man since 1994 to win his first downhill event at the Winter Olympics.
"It's tough when you have to judge yourself because the clock doesn't really seem to judge you fairly," Miller said when it ended.
That's the downhill at the Olympics. It's thrilling. It's terrifying. It's magnificent.
And it does not even pretend to be fair.
