UPDATE - March 2, 2012: the range-based for-loop and override/final v1.0 have been implemented in VC11 Beta.
There's a new C++ Standard and a new version of Visual C++, and it's time to reveal what features from the former we're implementing in the latter!
Terminology notes: During its development, the new C++ Standard was (optimistically) referred to as C++0x. It's finally being published in 2011, and it's now referred to as C++11. (Even International Standards slip their release dates.) The Final Draft International Standard is no longer publicly available. It was immediately preceded by Working Paper N3242, which is fairly close in content. (Most of the people who care about the differences are compiler/Standard Library devs who already have access to the FDIS.) Eventually, I expect that the C++11 Standard will be available from ANSI, like C++03 is.
As for Visual C++, it has three different version numbers, for maximum fun. There's the branded version (printed on the box), the internal version (displayed in Help About), and the compiler version (displayed by cl.exe and the _MSC_VER macro - this one is different because our C++ compiler predates the "Visual" in Visual C++). For example:
The final branding for the new version hasn't been announced yet; for now, I'm supposed to say "Visual C++ in Visual Studio 11 Developer Preview". Internally, it's just VC11, and its _MSC_VER macro is 1700. (That macro is of interest to people who want to target different major versions of VC and emit different code for them.) I say VC10 and VC11 because they're nice and simple - the 11 in VC11 does not refer to a year. (VS 2010 == VC10 was a confusing coincidence.)
If you read C++0x Core Language Features In VC10: The Table last year, the following table will look familiar to you. This time, I started with GCC's table again, but I reorganized it more extensively for increased accuracy and clarity (as many features went through significant revisions):
Here's a quick guide to this table, but note that I can't explain everything from scratch without writing a whole book, so this assumes moderate familiarity with what's in C++11:
Rvalue references: N1610 "Clarification of Initialization of Class Objects by rvalues" was an early attempt to enable move semantics without rvalue references. I'm calling it "rvalue references v0.1", as it's of historical interest only. It was superseded by rvalue references v1.0, the original wording. Rvalue references v2.0, which is what we shipped in VC10 RTM/SP1, prohibits rvalue references from binding to lvalues, fixing a major safety problem. Rvalue references v2.1 refines this rule. Consider vector<string>::push_back(), which has the overloads push_back(const string&) and push_back(string&&), and the call v.push_back("meow"). The expression "meow" is a string literal, and it is an lvalue. (All other literals like 1729 are rvalues, but string literals are special because they're arrays.) The rvalue references v2.0 rules looked at this and said, string&& can't bind to "meow" because "meow" is an lvalue, so push_back(const string&) is the only viable overload. This would create a temporary std::string, copy it into the vector, then destroy the temporary std::string. Yuck! The rvalue references v2.1 rules recognize that binding string&& to "meow" would create a temporary std::string, and that temporary is an rvalue. Therefore, both push_back(const string&) and push_back(string&&) are viable, and push_back(string&&) is preferred. A temporary std::string is constructed, then moved into the vector. This is more efficient, which is good! (Yes, I'm ignoring the Small String Optimization here.)
The table says "v2.1*" because these new rules haven't been completely implemented in the VC11 Developer Preview. This is being tracked by an active bug. (Indeed, this is a Standard bugfix.)
Rvalue references v3.0 adds new rules to automatically generate move constructors and move assignment operators under certain conditions. This will not be implemented in VC11, which will continue to follow VC10's behavior of never automatically generating move constructors/move assignment operators. (As with all of the not-yet-implemented features here, this is due to time and resource constraints, and not due to dislike of the features themselves!)
(By the way, all of this v0.1, v1.0, v2.0, v2.1, v3.0 stuff is my own terminology, which I think adds clarity to C++11's evolution.)
Lambdas: After lambdas were voted into the Working Paper (v0.9) and mutable lambdas were added (v1.0), the Standardization Committee overhauled the wording, producing lambdas v1.1. This happened too late for us to implement in VC10, but we've already implemented it in VC11. The lambdas v1.1 wording clarifies what should happen in corner cases like referring to static members, or nested lambdas. This fixes a bunch of bugs triggered by complicated lambdas. Additionally, stateless lambdas are now convertible to function pointers in VC11. This isn't in N2927's wording, but I count it as part of lambdas v1.1 anyways. It's FDIS 5.1.2 [expr.prim.lambda]/6: "The closure type for a lambda-expression with no lambda-capture has a public non-virtual non-explicit const conversion function to pointer to function having the same parameter and return types as the closure type's function call operator. The value returned by this conversion function shall be the address of a function that, when invoked, has the same effect as invoking the closure type's function call operator." (It's even better than that, since we've made stateless lambdas convertible to function pointers with arbitrary calling conventions. This is important when dealing with APIs that expect __stdcall function pointers and so forth.)
decltype: After decltype was voted into the Working Paper (v1.0), it received a small but important bugfix at the very last minute (v1.1). This isn't interesting to most programmers, but it's of great interest to programmers who work on the STL and Boost. The table says "v1.1**" because this isn't implemented in the VC11 Developer Preview, but the changes to implement it have already been checked in.
Strongly typed/forward declared enums: Strongly typed enums were partially supported in VC10 (specifically, the part about explicitly specified underlying types), and C++11's semantics for forward declared enums weren't supported at all in VC10. Both have been completely implemented in VC11.
Alignment: Neither VC10 nor VC11 implement the Core Language keywords alignas/alignof from the alignment proposal that was voted into the Working Paper. VC10 had aligned_storage from TR1. VC11 adds aligned_union and std::align() to the Standard Library.
Standard-layout and trivial types: As far as I can tell, the user-visible changes from N2342 "POD's Revisited; Resolving Core Issue 568 (Revision 5)" are the addition of is_trivial and is_standard_layout to <type_traits>. (N2342 performed a lot of surgery to Core Language wording, but it just makes stuff well-defined that users could have gotten away with anyways, hence no compiler changes are necessary.) We had these type traits in VC10, but they just duplicated is_pod, so I'm calling that "No" support. In VC11, they're powered by compiler hooks that should give accurate answers.
Extended friend declarations: Last year, I said that VC10 partially supported this. Upon closer inspection of N1791, I've determined that VC's support for this is essentially complete (it doesn't even emit "non-Standard extension" warnings, unlike some of the other Ascended Extensions in this table). So I've marked both VC10 and VC11 as "Yes".
override and final: This went through a short but complicated evolution. Originally (v0.8) there were [[override]], [[hiding]], and [[base_check]] attributes. Then (v0.9) the attributes were eliminated and replaced with contextual keywords. Finally (v1.0), they were reduced to "final" on classes, and "override" and "final" on functions. This makes it an Ascended Extension, as VC already supports this "override" syntax on functions, with semantics reasonably close to C++11's. "final" is also supported, but under the different spelling "sealed". This qualifies for "Partial" support in my table.
Minimal GC support: As it turns out, N2670's only user-visible changes are a bunch of no-op Standard Library functions, which we already picked up in VC10.
Reworded sequence points: After staring at N2239's changes, replacing C++98/03's "sequence point" wording with C++11's "sequenced before" wording (which is more useful, and more friendly to multithreading), there appears to be nothing for a compiler or Standard Library implementation to do. So I've marked this as N/A.
Atomics, etc.: Atomics, strong compare and exchange, bidirectional fences, and data-dependency ordering specify Standard Library machinery, which we're implementing in VC11.
Memory model: N2429 made the Core Language recognize the existence of multithreading, but there appears to be nothing for a compiler implementation to do (at least, one that already supported multithreading). So it's N/A in the table.
Extended integer types: N1988 itself says: "A final point on implementation cost: this extension will probably cause no changes in most compilers. Any compiler that has no integer types other than those mandated by the standard (and some version of long long, which is mandated by the N1811 change) will likely conform already." Another N/A feature!
That covers the Core Language. As for the Standard Library, I don't have a pretty table of features, but I do have good news:
In VC11, we intend to completely support the C++11 Standard Library, modulo not-yet-implemented compiler features. (Additionally, VC11 won't completely implement the C99 Standard Library, which has been incorporated by reference into the C++11 Standard Library. Note that VC10 and VC11 already have <stdint.h>.) Here's a non-exhaustive list of the changes we're making:
New headers: <atomic>, <chrono>, <condition_variable>, <future>, <mutex>, <ratio>, <scoped_allocator>, and <thread>. (And I've removed the broken <initializer_list> header that I accidentally left in VC10.)
Emplacement: As required by C++11, we've implemented emplace()/emplace_front()/emplace_back()/emplace_hint()/emplace_after() in all containers for "arbitrary" numbers of arguments (see below). For example, vector<T> has "template <typename... Args> void emplace_back(Args&&... args)" which directly constructs an element of type T at the back of the vector from an arbitrary number of arbitrary arguments, perfectly forwarded. This can be more efficient than push_back(T&&), which would involve an extra move construction and destruction. (VC10 supported emplacement from 1 argument, which was not especially useful.)
Faux variadics: We've developed a new scheme for simulating variadic templates. Previously in VC9 SP1 and VC10, we repeatedly included subheaders with macros defined differently each time, in order to stamp out overloads for 0, 1, 2, 3, etc. arguments. (For example, <memory> included the internal subheader <xxshared> repeatedly, in order to stamp out make_shared<T>(args, args, args).) In VC11, the subheaders are gone. Now we define variadic templates themselves as macros (with lots of backslash-continuations), then expand them with master macros. This internal implementation change has some user-visible effects. First, the code is more maintainable, easier to use (adding subheaders was a fair amount of work), and slightly less hideously unreadable. This is what allowed us to easily implement variadic emplacement, and should make it easier to squash bugs in the future. Second, it's harder to step into with the debugger (sorry!). Third, pair's pair(piecewise_construct_t, tuple<Args1...>, tuple<Args2...>) constructor had "interesting" effects. This requires N^2 overloads (if we support up to 10-tuples, that means 121 overloads, since empty tuples count here too). We initially observed that this (spamming out so many pair-tuple overloads, plus all of the emplacement overloads) consumed a massive amount of memory during compilation, so as a workaround we reduced infinity. In VC9 SP1 and VC10, infinity was 10 (i.e. "variadic" templates supported 0 to 10 arguments inclusive). In the VC11 Developer Preview, infinity is 5 by default. This got our compiler memory consumption back to what it was in VC10. If you need more arguments (e.g. you had code compiling with VC9 SP1 or VC10 that used 6-tuples), there's an escape hatch. You can define _VARIADIC_MAX project-wide between 5 and 10 inclusive (it defaults to 5). Increasing it will make the compiler consume more memory, and may require you to use the /Zm option to reserve more space for PCHes.
This story has a happy ending, though! Jonathan Caves, our compiler front-end lord, investigated this and found that something our tuple implementation was doing (specifically, lots of default template arguments), multiplied by pair's N^2 overloads, multiplied by how much pair tends to get used by STL programs (e.g. every map), was responsible for the increased memory consumption. He fixed that, and the fix is making its way over to our STL branch. At that point, we'll see if we can raise the _VARIADIC_MAX default to 10 again (as I would prefer not to break existing code unnecessarily).
Randomness: uniform_int_distribution is now perfectly unbiased, and we've implemented shuffle() in <algorithm>, which directly accepts Uniform Random Number Generators like mersenne_twister.
Resistance to overloaded address-of operators: C++98/03 prohibited elements of STL containers from overloading their address-of operator. This is what classes like CComPtr do, so helper classes like CAdapt were required to shield the STL from such overloads. During VC10's development, while massively rewriting the STL (for rvalue references, among other things), our changes made the STL hate overloaded address-of operators even more in some situations. (You might remember one of my VCBlog posts about this.) Then C++11 changed its requirements, making overloaded address-of operators acceptable. (C++11, and VC10, provide the helper function std::addressof(), which is capable of getting the true address of an object regardless of operator overloading.) Before VC10 shipped, we attempted to audit all STL containers for occurrences of "&elem", replacing them with "std::addressof(elem)" which is appropriately resistant. In VC11, we've gone further. Now we've audited all containers and all iterators, so classes that overload their address-of operator should be usable throughout the STL. Any remaining problems are bugs that should be reported to us through Microsoft Connect. (As you might imagine, grepping for "&elem" is rather difficult!) I haven't audited the algorithms yet, but a casual glance indicated to me that they aren't especially fond of taking the addresses of elements.
We're also going beyond C++11 in a couple of ways:
SCARY iterators: As permitted but not required by the C++11 Standard, SCARY iterators have been implemented, as described by N2911 "Minimizing Dependencies within Generic Classes for Faster and Smaller Programs" and N2980 "SCARY Iterator Assignment and Initialization, Revision 1".
Filesystem: We've added the <filesystem> header from the TR2 proposal, featuring super-cool machinery like recursive_directory_iterator. Note that the 2006 proposal (before work on TR2 was frozen due to C++0x running extremely late and turning into C++11) was derived from Boost.Filesystem V2. It later evolved into Boost.Filesystem V3, but that will not be implemented in VC11.
Finally, in addition to numerous bugfixes, we've performed a major optimization! All of our containers (loosely speaking) are now optimally small given their current representations. This is referring to the container objects themselves, not their pointed-to guts. For example, vector contains three raw pointers. In VC10, x86 release mode, vector was 16 bytes. In VC11, it's 12 bytes, which is optimally small. This is a big deal if you have 100,000 vectors in your program - VC11 will save you 400,000 bytes. Decreased memory usage saves both space and time.
This was achieved by avoiding the storage of empty allocators and comparators, as std::allocator and std::less are stateless. (We'll activate these optimizations for custom allocators/comparators too, as long as they're stateless. Obviously, we can't avoid storing stateful allocators/comparators, but those are quite rare.)
Here are all of the sizes for x86 and x64. (32-bit ARM is equivalent to x86 for these purposes). Naturally, these tables cover release mode, as debug mode contains checking machinery that consumes space and time. I have separate columns for VC9 SP1, where _SECURE_SCL defaulted to 1, and for VC9 SP1 with _SECURE_SCL manually set to 0 for maximum speed. VC10 and VC11 default _SECURE_SCL to 0 (now known as _ITERATOR_DEBUG_LEVEL).
Stephan T. Lavavej Visual C++ Libraries Developer
Stephen T. Lavavej said: Without initializer lists, range construction is the best you can do (for terseness and performance). You can include <iterator> and write vector<int> v(begin(arr), end(arr)) which automatically detects the size of the array - and this works in VC10.
I haven't seen std::begin(arr) and std::end(arr) in any documentation. Are they standard?
I as a C++ developer more than anything need a good standard conforming C++ compiler. No fancy shmancy IDE, no hours and hours of your EMPTY talks, no so called silly "improvements to the IDE and productivity" in form of syntax highlighting, code snippets etc. All I need is a good standard conforming compiler. And what do we (C++ devs) have (not even at this moment but what is being prepared for future release)? Nothing! Microsoft once again by its actions proves that C++ means absolutely nothing to this company.
Sir, while employed at Microsoft you did nothing in order to represent C++ community, nothing in order to fight for us and *with* us and nothing in order to protect and give a breeding space to C++. Being in your position and a person who you were (not ARE anymore, but about that in a short while) you could have made an impact on how C++ compiler from Microsoft would look in a future release of Very Slow 2012. But you did NOTHING. Absolutely nothing… Yes, of course you talked a lot but that's just about it. Nothing else. Results are pathetic, catastrophic, you name it… no! you don't have the right anymore to talk about C++. Unless you're begging for forgiveness.
How can you look in Bjarne's eyes? How can you look and do nothing seeing how his child is being mistreated, humiliated, ignored and abused?
For all this today, on 14th of September of 2011, I officially declare you as a TRAITOR TO C++ AS A LANGUAGE AND A TRAITOR TO C++ COMMUNITY. From now on you are non-existing non entity.
C++ Rules and Rocks!

> Microsoft once again by its actions proves that C++ means absolutely nothing to this company.
Seems you haven't seen yet WinRT and new syntax extensions.
Proprietary extensions don't help you much when you're working in multi-platform software development. The people who want to use a more strict subset of the standardized features C++11 are being left by the way-side.
Well that's... disappointing.
No uniform initialization. No delegating/inheriting constructors. No *varadic templates*.
The only actual *language* features Microsoft added was strongly-typed enums. Everything else, atomics/etc, are just library stuff. Things you could have put into a simple service pack; things that don't require changing the compiler at all.
This is exceedingly lazy on Microsoft's part. Please let me know when Microsoft plans to get serious about C++11 support. Until then, this picking and choosing arbitrary C++11 features that Microsoft likes is getting annoying.
Still leagues behind the *free* GCC. Losing faith in Microsoft to develop anything useful.
Look at Intel's compiler and Clang as well, they're ahead. Out of all the major C++ compilers I know VC++ has the worst C++11 support.
I hope they compensate the lack of features with with the option to change the GUIs color in the express version, or at least it take it from the desktop enviroment (a good practice). I realy hate the web design of the new versions.
wow!! This thread is a hot one, right?
I also am (was) surprised that more isn't being done for VS2012. But, after seeing all the effort MSFT is pouring into B8 + W8, I am no longer surprised that so relatively little is accomplished in the C+ features (and possibly IDE performance - jury's still out, but if past performance is indicative of future performance...) That said, I understand it's not the VC team's fault their resources are limited.
What I also understand now, but what I find really sort of darkly ironic is MSFT is trying to solidify/extend its relationship with developers (b/c after vomiting my Humble pie, I believe we're the platform's life-force) and so.... all this energy is spent redefining how to improve development.
I have some ideas:
1) Default Metro on for touch devices,
2) Default Metro off for PCs and corporate workstations, and
3) Move a good-sized chunk of Metro development resources into VS IDE performance, simplification, size reduction, and C++ features.
By doing this, you're still livin' the dream of Metro, but also have your feet planted firmly in reality and thus... address a critical end goal of winning over developers and increasing their productivity.
Am I oversimplifying?
PS. Yes, I am still bitter that I purchased into VS2010 being the new 6. If performance is sincerely being resolved in VS2012, I think it should be a free upgrade for us "10 is the new 6" schmucks/suckers.
I will just say that I am very disappointed.
probably not the right place to post....
i was also disappointed, but having watched some of the //bilge// content i can see where MS put their resources. in building their precious libraries. i know that the designer and stuff had to take a beating to be able to do some magic, but there must be some underlying language modularity there (or is it just starting with VC11?) i really have a sickening feeling that devs that should have been focusing on bettering VS were probably off (of their own accord for all i know, next new big thing and all) building in WinRT support.
please Stefan-Wan Kenobi, build your doppleganger android twin. or several, you're our only hope.
I am very confused about these Metro style apps. All the samples I've seen branded as C++ were using C++/CLI. Will we be able to write Metro apps in plain C/C++ (no managed crap) ?
Firstly, thank you for the detailed feature list and pre-release information about VC11.
However, along with the previous commentators, I too am very disappointed, underwhelmed, and surprised about the lack of C++11 language features in VC11.
Announcements about "C++ related work", such as VSnext IDE improvements, C++ AMP, WinRT, and so forth are definitely very welcome.
To use an analogy, I feel like you're building a house but forgetting about the foundations.
Microsoft needs to allocate more resources to advance C++ compliance. They certainly have the $$ to do so, it's sad this is not a priority. Every other language basically sits on top of the C++ compiler.

After a time on the tin whistle and
a short spell 'scraping' at a small violin, Liam finally got started
on the uilleann pipes. He had an obvious gift for this most stubborn
and complicated of instruments, and was encouraged by all around
him, notably by the Kildare piper Tom Armstrong. It was clear from
an early age, that a great piper was in the making and for Liam,
eager to learn, there was that steady feeling of getting better
almost by the day. At the age of eleven, master-classes began in
earnest with Leo Rowsome.
But behind the innovation and experimentation
Liam O'Flynn has always managed to remain true to the great piping
tradition. He has taken his instrument into previously unexplored
territory - be it as a member of Planxty, as a soloist with an
orchestra or working with artists as diverse as John Cage, The
Everly Brothers, Van Morrison and Kate Bush. But whatever the
situation, he has remained resolutely true to the music itself.
And it's precisely this mix of credibility and durability which
makes Liam O'Flynn one of our greatest musicians and someone long
regarded among his peers as Ireland's Master Uilleann Piper.
"I always imagine," Liam says,
"that it must have been extraordinary when the pipes were first
developed in the eighteenth century - a whole new instrument and
here's a fellow coming around to the local fair with this amazing
instrument with extraordinary sounds and inbuilt accompaniment.
It became an 'in' instrument that very quickly occupied prime
position in the tradition and people of all stations took to it.
The big houses took to the instrument and they had their own resident
pipers. Then you had the traveling pipers who played at all sorts
of outdoor happenings and they evolved a different style that
was very immediate and quiet open and spectacular. I suppose the
whole idea of power was attached to people who played such an
extraordinary instrument."
Liam is always searching for new
arenas in which to take the pipes. With Mark Knopfler he performed
the score to the movie Cal. Other movie scores include The Field,
A River Runs Through It (with Elmer Bernstein), Kidnapped, and
Roses from Dublin (with Vladimir Cosma). No stranger to playing
with orchestras, Liam had already achieved an international audience
when he recorded The Brendan Voyage with Shaun Davey, a groundbreaking
orchestral piece which was followed in later years by three other
Shaun Davey works, Granuaile, The Relief of Derry Symphony and
more recently The Pilgrim. He had successfully brought the pipes
into the greatest concert halls in the world and introduced its
unique sounds to audiences and musicians everywhere.
Other regular collaborators include
Catherine Ennis, daughter of Seamus Ennis and Nobel Laureate Seamus
Heaney with whom Liam has performed in auditoriums around the world
including Dublin's famous Gate Theatre, the Barbican Centre in London
and the Lincon Center in New York.. They first performed together
over 10 years ago in a small church in Kenmare, Co Kerry and regularly
perform together in small intimate venues. Heaney says of the experience,
" I have a strong sense of pleasure and pride in sitting beside
a piper of Liam's mystery. The pipes call and raise the spirit.
They also quieten and open up the daydream part of people."
For Liam too, playing the pipes is
a very special experience. "When I'm playing," he says, "I'm
certainly lost within it. The only way to describe it, is that it's
like looking inwards. I think when a performer engages with the
audience, and vice versa, it's like a spell is cast and a terrific
passage of feelings moves from the musician to the audience and
back again."
Liam O'Flynn has made over fifty recordings.
Among his most recent albums are Out To An Other Side, The Given
Note and, most recently, The Piper's Call. With the formation of
The Pipers Call Band, a special video was made with guest appearances
by Carlos Núñez, The Irish Chamber Orchestra, Sean Keane and Matt
Molloy of The Chieftains and Mark Knopfler. The Band features top
musicians like Arty McGlynn, Rod McVey and Steve Cooney. Video
clips of Liam from 'The Piper's Call' are now available on our
Video Page.
In 1999, Liam was at the heart of a
very unique performance at London's Royal Albert Hall. For the very
first time there was a special evening devoted to Irish music as
part of the BBC Proms and it was Liam and the Piper's Call Band
who were chosen for this quiet momentous event. They were, as ever,
rapturously received. But whatever the arena, Liam O'Flynn remains
a gentle and modest soul. Whatever the occasion, a 'seisiun' in
Prosperous or the inauguration of a President, his mind is focused
on just one thing. "You're after something in the tune,"
he says, " and, at the end of the day, you are just the servant
of the music."
On March 15th 2003, Liam appeared at one of Europe's
newest and largest festivals, 'Celtique Nuit' with the Lorient Festival
orchestra . The Festival took place in the Stade de France in Paris.
The concert also featured Liam's good friend Carlos Nunez as well
as Alan Stivell and Sinead O'Connor. In June 2003 he took part in
in the Opening ceremony of the Special Olympic World Summer Games
held in Dublin's Croke Park.
July 2003 saw the release of an album by Liam and
good friend Seamus Heaney. The album 'The
Poet and the Piper - Keeping Time' was released on the Claddagh
2004/05 has seen Liam team-up again with the original
Planxty members, Christy Moore, Andy Irvine and Donal Lunny for
a number of high profile concerts. 2007 saw Liam receiving The TG4
Gradam Ceoil Award for Musician of the Year.
2009 was a busy year again for Liam with many varied
live shows. Most notable have been his performances with 'Voices
From The Merry Cemetery', a collaboration with old friends Shaun
Davey, Rita Connolly, Sean Keane to name but a few. The title for
this ensemble comes from their first performance at the funeral
of Liam's father Liam O'Flynn snr. Such was the quality of the music
played on that day, that they have decided to share the craft of
music-making again in a brief series of very special concerts. Their
combined talents and repertoire are certain to generate memorable
and emotional occasions whenever they perform.
In 2012 Liam teamed up with Andy, Donal and Paddy
Glackin on fiddle to form the band LAPD
who have been giging regulary around Ireland.

23.05.10 The name Rear Naked Choke most likely comes from the name used in Judo for the technique, Hadakajime or in English Naked Strangle. It is called that in Judo because the choke does not make use of the uniform (gi), as other chokes do. The rear naked choke came to mainstream notice from three primary sources. The sleeper hold became a staple of professional wrestling early in its televised history, and was easily noticed by fans of the sport.

Abstract Background: Effects of orthopedic immobilizations of the lower right limb on driving performances are unknown. Therefore, clinicians and legislators cannot put forth recommendations for road safety for patients requiring such immobilizations. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different orthopedic immobilizations on braking performances in simulated driving conditions.
Methods: The braking performances of 48 healthy volunteers were evaluated under 3 conditions: wearing their running shoes, and 2 types of orthopedic immobilizations of the lower right limb, a walking cast and an Aircast walker. A computerized driving simulator was used to measure the maximum force applied on the brake pedal during braking, the braking reaction time and the total braking time during emergency braking with and without a distracter.

Scanner traffic is indicating eastbound traffic on Interstate 26 has slowed to almost a complete stop between exits 10 and 17.
Reports from the Tennessee Department of Transportation and East Tennessee Construction indicated blasting would take place in the vicinity of Exit 13 in Gray around 2 p.m.
Check back here for updates on the road conditions as they become available.
According to the East Tennessee Construction report released weekly by the Tennessee Department of Transportation, motorists should expect delays on Interstate 26, both eastbound and westbound, between mile markers 10 and 17 today.
The report indicates rolling roadblocks are expected today around 2 p.m. to accommodate blasting going on at the construction project at Exit 13 in Gray.
The brief roadblocks may cause sudden stops in traffic as well as slow moving or stopped conditions. Motorists should reduce their speed and use extreme caution when approaching the area, TDOT officials said.
Similar roadblocks are also scheduled for Friday.comments powered by Disqus

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) _ Kansas officials and Airbus Americas Chairman Allan McArtor say the state will work to encourage growth in its aviation industry through more contracts with the aircraft maker.
U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran and McArtor announced Tuesday they will host an Air Capital Supplier Summit Aug. 6 at the National Center for Aviation Training in Wichita.
More than 32,000 people work at 450 Kansas aerospace companies. That includes more than 350 people employed at Airbus' engineering center in Wichita.
Airbus has already contracted with several Kansas companies, including Spirit AeroSystems in Wichita.
Moran and McArtor were joined by Wichita business representatives to outline efforts to further promote the partnership between Airbus and Kansas suppliers.
Suppliers interested in the summit can register at the website for the Greater Wichita Economic Development Coalition.

A patient recounts for her analyst a dream she has of 12 gold cups that were lost. The analyst's wife is convinced that they are the same cups that they hid and lost when fleeing the Nazis year earlier.
Chas Pepe, 2012-12-21 20:29:53
A psychiatrist sees a patient who shares with him and his wife gifts that appear to be clues to a lost family treasure. He finds it hard to believe that this young woman could know anything about the golden chalices they buried in their old family estate in the old country when they fled from Hitler's army. His wife is adamant and seeks to understand every little clue she can create out of the young girl's stories and gifts.

Ravi Shankar memorial draws large crowd
Herbie Hancock, Zubin Mehta, Anoushka Shankar & Norah Jones among those on hand to honor the Indian music legend
Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar moved to Encinitas in 1992 because he found the seaside community an ideally tranquil place to focus on making the transcendent music long synonymous with his name.
On Thursday, nine days after his death in a La Jolla hospital at age 92, Encinitas provided a fitting setting for the multicultural icon's open-air memorial service.
The 90-minute event at the Self Realization Fellowship, where Shankar enjoyed taking walks, drew more than 1,000 people. They included jazz great Herbie Hancock, legendary classical music conductor Zubin Mehta, Shankar's two daughters – sitar star Anoushka Shankar, 31, and acclaimed singer-songwriter Norah Jones, 33 – and his tirelessly devoted wife, Sukanya.
Under clear blue skies and a warm winter sun, heartfelt tributes were paid to the man former Beatle George Harrison once famously (and very accurately) hailed as "the godfather of World Music."
"Raviji was one of the great citizens of the world," said Harrison's widow, Olivia, as she addressed the audience. "I cannot think of a more illustrious or elegant person."
Harrison provided the array of white flowers that decorated the fellowship grounds and the stage, which was decorated with three photos of Shankar -- one as a young man, one from last year and one from when he was middle aged. She recalled that he and her late husband had a unique bond.
"They were like father and son, as well as brothers," she said. "They made each other laugh, as if the shared a secret -- and I'm sure they did! Their common bond was music."
Mehta, the former music director of the Los Angeles Philharmonic Orchestra, was near tears as he recalled his longtime friendship and musical collaborations with Shankar, whose friends affectionately called Raviji.
"As a musician I always felt like a little crumb in his presence," Mehta said of Shankar, whom he knew for nearly 50 years. "Because every night, whichever stage he was performing on, he was composing simultaneously (as he played)."
Listening to Shankar perform a raga -- from its serene beginning to its emotionally charged conclusion, with a dramatic build-up of intensity in between -- was, Mehta recalled, like hearing "the cosmos open up."
By any standards, Shankar was a bold and innovative pioneer who helped introduce the East to the West. A three-time Grammy Award winner and a 1982 Academy Award nominee for Best Score, he did more than any other artist to introduce the culture of India to the world through his borders-leaping music and intensely spiritual playing.
"His legacy was that he was a champion of an entire culture --and that only happens once in a lifetime," San Diego rock musician Hargo, 27, said.
One longtime Shankar fan, S. Ti Muntarbhorn, flew from Vancouver to Los Angeles, then drove to Encinitas, to attend Thursday's memorial.
"I brought Ravi's CD box set with me and played it in the car," she said. "His music guided me down here and it will guide me back to the airport. He is a Teacher with a capital 'T' and what he represents to the world is the deep resonance where music and spirituality are united. "

I've been checking the mail everyday and was so excited when it came today. After an 80 mile ride in 100 degree weather I didn't want to think about riding my bike for a while. But, trying on this jersey and I got the skins bib too I felt like I was ready to go do some more miles. But I'll wait and show it off this weekend. It fits like a glove and love the seamless arm look reminds me of the team Sky jersey. I love the little shiny material too. Since I live in the desert I thought that this black might be a bit too much but there is a lot of ventilation in the back and feels really light. I bought an Adidas outfit and had problems with the jersey, just a weird size, the jersey was way too big, so I bought a medium jersey and bib in the Skins, I'm 6'4 and a 180lbs and this fit perfect, I will definitely recommend this jersey and the bib and I will be buying more of the skins wear for this coming winter. ProbikeKit is awesome and the prices are much cheaper than buying at stores or webistes here in the US. I don't mind waiting a bit longer coz it's worth it.

Author Bio
Nora Roberts didn't become an immediate best-selling author, but once she sold her first novel, she never looked back. A mother of two small children at the time, Roberts began writing in 1979 with a number-two pencil and a spiral notebook. She wrote sporadically while her two sons were at school, a schedule she maintained long after they had grown up and gone to college. Two years and several manuscripts after her initial attempt, her first novel, "Irish Thoroughbred", appeared, the first of over 100 novels she would write in the following two decades. While having dabbled in many of the genre's forms, Roberts has found most of her success writing contemporary romances flavored with both suspense and adventure. The youngest of five children, Roberts grew up in Silver Spring, Maryland. In 1968, she married Ronald Aufdem-Brinke, the father of her two children, but divorced him in 1985, the same year she married her second husband, Bruce Wilder.

A 42-year-old inmate died early Saturday morning prompting all visitations this weekend at the McPherson women's prison in Newport to be canceled.
Additional doctors and nurses have been called in to treat others with symptoms and to screen the nearly 900 inmates at the facility.
Corrections officials said the illnesses are happening in housing area three.
We're told 240 inmates living there are under quarantine and are being kept away from the general population.
Corrections officials said they don't know what killed the 42-year-old woman. They say she had flu-like symptoms, but test showed she didn't actually have the flu.
At least three other inmates with similar symptoms are being treated and monitored closely.
Family members we spoke with Sunday were worried about their relatives.
"I understand they're in prison and they're state property, but they deserve care just like the rest of us do," said Ashley Whitacre whose sister is an inmate at McPherson.
Corrections officials said extra doctors and nurses were brought to treat inmates and scan all of the nearly 900 prisoners.
Correction officials said they had to go through the process of scanning the inmates.
As of Sunday, no decisions had been made as to when the quarantine will end or when visitations can resume.

So, today's post isn't really a drawing post, but it's artsy...and it's all that I have to show for my artistic efforts yesterday.
This is a bulletin board I have up in my bedroom:
I got this bulletin board about five years ago, and I thought it would be super-creative to montage a bunch of photos all over it. I was pretty proud of this idea at the time. I figured out that I could print on tracing paper in my printer, and my hope was that the photos would be a little transparent and it would almost look like I printed right onto the cork of the bulletin board. But it didn't come out nearly as awesome as I was hoping, and the pictures continually curl at the edges and start to peel off. Anyway, I'm always this close to tearing them all off and having a normal bulletin board again. Lately I've been considering getting rid of the bulletin board altogether, since I always end up just sticking random stuff on it.
But last night, after giving all the pictures a new coat of spray-glue and modge podge, I decided that my bulletin board is going to serve as a place of inspiration from now on. I want to use it to hang things that I want to look at - not phone lists and receipts and addresses, like before. I definitely want to keep adding to it (since right now there's not much "inspiration" here), but it's a start.
Come on, you can't be surprised that "M is for Mullet" made it on there. That's inspiration gold.
And the tree on the right is actually a tree-shaped bookshelf that I saw in Martha Stewart Living. I can't stop dreaming about it. I love it. Mark my words, I will create something like that in my house someday. The real thing costs $2,500 (not going to happen), so I'm going to have to get really crafty on my own...unless of course I marry a carpenter and then I'll put him to work.

From GNOME 3 to GNOME Classic in 3 extensions, or why GNOME Classic has become redundant
GNOME Classic is a GNOME 3 desktop designed to offer the look-and-feel of a GNOME 2/MATE desktop, that is, of a traditional or classic GNOME desktop.
It's for people who are not fond of the default GNOME Shell. It comes with every installation of GNOME 3, offered as an option in the login screen's Session menu.
To use it (GNOME Classic), all you need to do, is select GNOME Classic from the Session menu before logging into the desktop. This screenshot shows part of the login screen from a test installation of a GNOME 3 desktop.
Since Antergos 2014.05.26 was released, I've been playing with test installations of the distribution's GNOME 3 desktop, which is powered by GNOME 3.12.2. The GNOME 3 desktop of that distribution offers a plain-vanilla GNOME Shell in all its annoying glory. So I've had to make it a bit more user-friendly by installing a few extensions (see How to customize GNOME 3.12 GNOME Shell). And I've also been using the GNOME Classic desktop too.
That made me realize that just by installing three extensions, I can get the GNOME 3 desktop with a default GNOME Shell to look just like GNOME Classic. Just three extensions. Which brings up this question: If I can do that, that is, customize a default GNOME Shell to look exactly like GNOME Classic in less than five minutes, why do we still need GNOME Classic? My answer to that is, we don't. It's redundant.
And what are those three extension that will do the magic? They are: Applications Menu, Places Status Indicator, and Window List. Starting from GNOME 3.12, those extensions are usually installed but not enabled in GNOME Tweak Tool. So if you have that utility installed on your GNOME 3 desktop (it is installed by default on GNOME 3.12), just start it, then enable them to experience what GNOME Classic looks and feels like without logging into the default GNOME Classic desktop.
Extra Info: Just before I published this article, Adam Williamson from happyassassin.net said that the Antergos GNOME login screen (first screenshot above) is a customized GDM, and not the stock GNOME 3 GDM. I confirmed that by comparing the login screens of Fedora Rawhide GNOME with that of Mageia 4 GNOME. Both are the same and very different from the Antergos login screen. The screenshot below was taken from a test installation of Fedora Rawhide GNOME. By the way, Mageia 4 GNOME is powered by GNOME 3.10.2, while Fedora Rawhide GNOME is currently running GNOME 3.13.2. Fedora Rawhide is what will become Fedora 21, which is scheduled for release sometime later this year.
The following screenshots show what the custom GNOME 3 and GNOME Classic desktops look like.
This is the customized GNOME 3 desktop showing the applications menu.
And this is the GNOME Classic desktop also showing the applications menu.

So, do you think the developers still need to be supporting GNOME Classic?

It's hideously ugly and hideously dumbed down. It looks like a Fischer-Price 'my first computer' for the under 5's.
The Gnome Developers are vandals and barbarians.
Ever since Cinnamon was released, I stopped using Gnome/Gnome Fallback.
Cinnamon is everything that Gnome 3 should have been… and it is by far my favorite desktop environment. It is totally understandable why Linux Mint is becoming the number one install.
I'm using Fedora/Cinnamon because I don't like .deb ways of doing things.
I agree with you!
"Ever since Cinnamon was released, I stopped using Gnome/Gnome Fallback.
Cinnamon is everything that Gnome 3 should have been… and it is by far my favorite desktop environment."
You said everything!!!
I had never used gnome (2) with two pagers. It is so wasteful and stupid, especially with widescreen monitors. While you could use two panels, gnome (2) had the ability to fold window task management into a single panel, something I consider essential in every environment I have ever used, including lxde, Xfce, KDE, cinnamon, etc. This reconstruction I gather does not have this fundamental and what I consider essential capability. Immediate fail.
Other than the fact that I am able to install a GNOME Classic desktop with GNOME Session Flashback on some older machines that don't run well with Unity and Compiz, I really don't care about GNOME Shell.
Then the next thing I do is replace Nautilus with Nemo.
Er…GNOME Classic *is* those extensions. It's intentionally implemented as a set of Shell extensions. It's not a separate set of code.
Exactly. GNOME Classic is just an easy way of enabling those three extensions in one go. I guess it's especially convenient for large deployments such as those of companies using Red Hat.

In early 2010, City Council directed the Boards to convene a work group to develop policies for the appropriate use of modern and sustainable materials in the historic districts. As part of that work, the BAR review process in Alexandria was also significantly streamlined to reduce the time and cost for approval of many minor architectural elements, including roofing and windows, by allowing Staff administrative approval.
With regards to windows, please be assured that the all of the property owners in the historic district may either retrofit their existing windows to be more energy efficient or may install new historically compatible modern windows. Because the alternatives are not always obvious, Staff is happy to help owners and contractors identify historic windows in the field and to suggest replacement window types, where appropriate, which meet the policy for administrative approval on different age buildings. Owners with unique and unusual cases which do not comply with the adopted policies are encouraged to apply to be heard by the BAR.
The BAR requires that historic windows with "wavy glass" or mortise and tenon joinery be retained and repaired, where ever possible, because so few remain. However, these original windows may often be completely restored, weather stripped and have Low-E storm windows installed, with no City approval required, for the same cost as new high quality wood windows. In addition, studies show that a properly restored window has almost the same efficiency as a modern window and that the energy cost savings of new windows can take many decades to recover.
Staff estimates that 70% to 80% of the original windows in the historic districts were replaced in the late 20th century, often with low quality products now themselves in need of replacement. In these cases, staff may administratively approve new double-glazed windows with Low-E glass and simulated divided lights. The only time single glazing must be used is on the facades of 18th and early 19th century buildings which abut the public sidewalks because there is such an obvious visual difference when viewed from this close distance. However, modern single glazed windows from several manufacturers are available with energy panels built into each sash which provide the same insulation and convenience as double glazing. This exception applies to a relatively small percentage of the buildings in Old Town and secondary elevations of these early buildings may still use normal double glazed windows.
In all cases, the simple application of weather-stripping and the addition of storm windows can substantially improve the energy efficiency of existing windows and the addition of insulation in the attic has a much greater rate of return than window replacement.

Why is the game called golf?.....because all the other 4-letter words were already taken
Paul Bonaccinni announces a DHS Golf Outing on August 23rd at the Dearborn Country Club
July 2014:
Update from VP Tim...
Hey Kids!
It's 35 years for us time-tested pioneers. No, there isn't a special party that we deliberately left you out of. No, nothing was planned....that I know of anyway.
HOWEVER, there will be dozens of us walking around bewildered at the Dearborn Homecoming Aug 1-3. Here is the web page that doesn't say a lot.
I guess we have a Miss Kellie Pickler as the headliner of the Home Coming entertainment. That's what I said too. Also, I'm just amazed at how many different ways folks come up with spellings for "Kelly".
So, we'll look to the 40th for a bash. Or maybe we'll stay a touch anti-establishment and throw a 37th just to mess with convention.
Yes, Miss Wolfe (100 this year) is still alive. Same for Mr. Russo and Mr. Gibb. Yes, all of our class couples that were married last time are still together.
No, not many of us have died. It turns out we're pretty tough. Lots and lots of beautiful grand kids. No, neither Sulisz nor I are keeping count. No, no one is in jail...as of this writing.
Yes, some of us are semi famous. Yes, Edsel had a 35th a few weeks ago. Yes, most of them have aged way worse than we have. Mark, you are actually frozen in time, but some those others....whew!
Take care. Take time to reach out and keep in touch. It matters.
Yours in all things orange and black.
Tim - DHS Class of '79 VP for life...and all its glory.
Dearborn High School - Dearborn, Michigan
Class of 1979 - Official Web Site
Dearborn High School
Welcome to the Dearborn High School Class of 1979 Webpage!
Our goal is to provide a gathering place for DHS1979 Alumni, to keep and share our cherished memories, and a source of information for keeping in contact.
We have a Reunion section that contains pictures starting from our graduation night and continuing up to the most recent reunion. That's the idea anyway - you'll see that we still have some work to do!
Alumni Sez... is where your special Memories about DHS are kept and were current Comments are made.
We also have a section called "Patronage" that promotes Alumni businesses and organizations. This gives us a chance to support our fellow Alumni, their spouse and family. Patronage is also located under the Alumni Sez menu.
Hey, watch your step!
You can submit your Memories, Comments, Patronage, or other ideas and suggestions using the "Submit Your Thoughts" from the Alumni Sez menu.
Alumni Links has email contact information for Alumni to keep in touch with each other. This is a protected area and you will be asked for a username and password, which any good Pioneer should be able to figure out.
Also there is the dreaded 'lost list' which we hope to eliminate with your help, by finding all of our Alumni...Don't make us put your picture in the post office or on milk cartons, turn yourself in!
Use the Update your Info from the Alumni Links menu to provide and keep current your contact information.
Home of the Pioneers
We also list other Dearborn High School Alumni sites, and encourage other classes to provide us with their website location so we can expand upon this.
There are many ways to keep in touch with your fellow Alumni, and we hope you look upon this web site as a central location to archive the memories, keep current with Alumni news, and plan for future reunions and get-togethers. It is important that you keep us up-to-date so we can let you know planned future events!
Partying at the 30th
What an amazing couple of days we shared! You really make this all worth it when you show up, laugh, dance and smile. The ice breaker on Fri was full of drama and surprise, only part of which I will ever divulge. As a hint...
Read the rest of Tim's message under our Reunions - 30th section.

Your Prospects Have your Calendar Magnets … Now What?Wednesday, January 2, 2013 |
Categories Real Estate
If your Calendar Magnets have found their way onto refrigerators throughout your community, impressions are increasing by the minute! You've now got a solid foundation to build your annual marketing plan upon.
So what can you do to maximize your return on investment? Here are three ideas:
- Follow up with your most important prospects in person or by phone. Hopefully your magnet sparked thoughts and conversations about buying or selling, and your one-to-one introduction could begin a valuable relationship for both of you.
- Deliver content through any of the channels that you listed on your Calendar Magnet. You are likely to see in boost in attention from those channels as your calendar is received, so their first impression of the content will be important. Your challenge continues as you need to deliver content on a regular basis that keeps your prospects engaged with you.
- Watch for the reaction and respond accordingly. Do you see increases in web traffic, Facebook friends, Twitter followers or phone calls compared to this time last year? Even incremental increases can mean great opportunities. Focus on improving the channels that show promise, and be sure to feature them again on your next Calendar Magnet.
Prospects notice and appreciate your attention. Even small impressions like seeing your face on the refrigerator become powerful and effective when repeated day-after-day. And by implementing these three ideas, you can get the highest possible return on your investment.

San Antonio Music AcademyRead More. During 45-minute Kindermusik classes, tots stimulate their minds, bodies, and sense of play with diverse activities based on research demonstrating music's beneficial effect on childhood development. As pintsize hands bang out tunes on provided instruments, brains busy themselves with forming the connections necessary for multiple forms of intelligence, including spatial reasoning, interpersonal skills, and the ability to tell a Jimi Hendrix guitar solo from the synthesized parrot squawks on a Jimmy Buffet album. The academy's roster of instructors dispenses private education on diverse instrumentation during 30-minute, one-on-one music lessons. Euphonic apprentices can open up their epiglottises in voice lessons, strum away on guitar, or prepare to marshal their army of G.I. Joes by beating some drum skins. Lessons are also available on the piano, as well as band and orchestral instruments. All students except drum and piano pupils must supply their own instruments for use during lessons, where they will learn a curriculum geared to their individual goals and interests. An extensive library of method books imparts the techniques to tackle any style of music and teaches students to read music, so that they're able to interpret the plotline of Mozart's romance novels.9910 W Loop 1604 NSan Antonio, TX US
The Synergy StudioRead MoreDancers, black belts, and trained yoga gurus, the instructors at The Synergy Studios come from all walks of life. They each bring a different approach to overall wellness to the school. Classes take place in the historic Pearl brewery in studios with soaring cathedral ceilings and honey-hued hardwood floors. Zumba sessions fill the room with the rumble of moving feet and quick breaths. Contented sighs drift out during meditation and yoga courses, which balance physical fitness and relaxation and help contribute to overall wellbeing. Some sessions are designed for particular groups, such as athletes, expecting mothers, and groups who always have to stick together because of what they saw in a mysterious cave.300 E Grayson St.San Antonio, TX US
Cameo TheatreRead MoreThe Cameo Theatre's Egyptian art-deco-style setting lures wandering eyes with polychrome accents, gilt columns, and a sphinx that permits entry only after guests solve a riddle. A surviving artifact of the 1940s, the theater first opened to house vaudeville acts and showcase movies, but has since opened its stage to a number of legendary performers, such as B.B. King and Metallica, and now regularly hosts theatrical productions.1123 E Commerce StSan Antonio, TX US
Arts San AntonioRead MoreARTS San Antonio brings cultural magic from around the country to South Texas. Chicago's Joffrey Ballet, Cuba's Arturo Sandoval, and New York's Spanish Harlem Orchestra have all been presented by ARTS SA to enrich the community.224 E Houston St.San Antonio, TX US
Absolute Dance StudioRead MoreFleet-footed dance instructors Acenio and Lara will release the dance-floor cowboy within you through patience, clear instructions, and encouraging personal support. Even in a group setting, they pace each swish, dip, tap, and jig to the abilities of their clients. Both those accustomed to spinning their partners through the air and those born with two left feet and a tail that has toes are equally welcome. Learn the intimate, sassy swing of the Dominican merengue or the slower, more traditional elegance of the waltz. You can also bring your darts teammate along as a tango partner and entwine your passions in much the same way you accidentally entwined your braces with plastic six-pack rings. More than anything, though, you can have fun dancing and erasing all the self-consciousness that holds you back.4131 Naco Perrin BlvdSan Antonio, TX US
Dance PlusRead MoreYoung dancers of all ages have been sashaying, pirouetting, and leaping through the studio at Dance Plus since 1987. Teachers lead classes for all ages and skill levels, from the 2.5-year-olds learning basic coordination in Creative Dance to the teens honing their skills in hip-hop, ballet, and lyrical classes. No matter what class students take, they're sure to get the individual attention they need to master the steps thanks to Dance Plus's commitment to intimate class sizes.2824 Thousand Oaks Dr.San Antonio, TX US

ERUPTIONS on the sun's surface may spark similar blasts across the star. The finding could help improve the forecasting of these eruptions, which disrupt power grids on Earth.
Solar eruptions are known to prompt further explosions nearby. But when two major eruptions, separated by hundreds of thousands of kilometres, both occurred on 1 August, Karel Schrijver and Alan Title of the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab in Palo Alto, California, wondered whether they were connected.
The pair turned to detailed images of the sun from August. Only a portion is visible at one time, but over a week, hidden areas became visible, revealing previously unknown distortions to the magnetic field. The researchers used these to estimate the magnetic field lines on 1 August over the sun's entire surface ...

Johan Bruyneel ready to co-operate with Belgian prosecutors according to local press reports
Meeting soon with ex-USPS boss, who is also said to be working on book to put his side of story
Previous News
Next News
Johan Bruyneel is reportedly set to co-operate with prosecutors leading an investigation into doping being conducted by the Royal Belgian Cycling Federation, the RLVB. He is also reportedly working on a book that will apparently put his side of the story at US Postal.
The Belgian national managed Lance Armstrong at USPS, Astana and RadioShack and faces similar charges form the United States Anti Doping Agency (USADA) to his former rider, although Bruyneel has chosen to fight them through arbitration.
Originally, that hearing was due to have been heard in November, although as yet no date appears to have been set for it.
According to Belgian state prosecutor Jaak Fransen, quoted on the news website HLN.be, Bruyneel "has now agreed to cooperate with the investigation."
Fransen was speaking this morning, as the cycling world came to terms with last night's broadcast of Lance Armstrong's confession of doping during all of his seven Tour de France victories, in all which he was managed by Bruyneel.
He denied doping following his return to the sport with Astana in 2009 or RadioShack in 2010, his rejection of USADA's findings for that period widely assumed to result from the fact any potential lawsuits from that period would not be subject to a statute of limitations.
The RLVB launched its investigation in 2010 after Floyd Landis went public with allegations against Armstrong and Bruyneel, among others, which both vehemently denied.
Its inquiry was given added impetus last October with USADA's publication of its Reasoned Decision against Armstrong, which specifically mentioned Bruyneel throughout, with former team riders also providing testimony against him.
Fransen said that Bruyneel had been invited to come and talk to investigators but it had been impossible to schedule a meeting partly because he spends so much time abroad – indeed, he currently resides in London.
In recent days – presumably after it emerged that Armstrong was prepared to confess – contact was renewed to allow Bruyneel an opportunity to give his version of events, and a meeting has now been scheduled "in the near future."
However, the prosecutor cautioned: " We will have to wait and see whether he will actually confess."
He added; "As part of the investigation I am obliged to remain silent, so all I can say is that we will have to see if he has committed offenses against our own anti-doping regulations."
Meanwhile, De Telegraaf has reported that Bruyneel is working on a book that will put his side of the story regarding doping at US Postal, the Dutch newspaper saying that it will counter accounts previously made by Tyler Hamilton and Floyd Landis, among others.
Bruyneel's website still proclaims him as "9X Winning Tour de France Sports Director," although the seven editions won by Armstrong now have the winner's name left empty.
The other two relate to Alberto Contador, with Discovery Channel in 2007 and Astana in 2009. He and Bruyneel had parted company by 2010, when the Spaniard won the Tour for the third time but was later stripped of that victory after his positive test for clenbuterol.
RadioShack-Nissan sacked Bruyneel as general manager last October following USADA's publication of its Reasoned Decision. At today's launch of the team for the 2013 season, under the name RadioShack Leopard Trek, the Livestrong yellow band that previously adorned one sleeve has now disappeared.
Why hasn't Road CC published David Miller's response to LA's interview?
If he is indeed cooperating with the Belgian authorities will this endanger Contador's first victory? Interesting prospect. I think cooperation is probably too good a word, and it'll be a series of limited and non-incriminating tit bits.
Any book he writes will easily be discredited.
