Latest comments (all times AEDT):
1834: STUMPS: Well that brings to an end a remarkable day of Test cricket from the Adelaide Oval with all sorts of records tumbling with Michael Clarke's fourth double-ton of the year and brilliant support acts from Dave Warner and Michael Hussey. After kicking off with three quick wickets, the day has fallen apart for South Africa, losing Jacques Kallis to a glute/hamstring injury and staring down the barrel of a monster first innings total. Thanks for joining us and don't forget to join me, Trent Hile, from 10am (EDT) tomorrow as we pick up the action.
We'll also have Queensland skipper James Hopes on board to answer your questions in the lunch break from 1pm (EDT).
1829: WICKET! (Hussey 103 b Steyn, AUS 5/ 482) Steyn strikes! Well that will be it for the first day, with Steyn sneaking a beauty through the defenses of Hussey, who departs for a terrific hundred. That's an important wicket for South Africa who will at least get a new batsman to look at in the morning.
1827: As Clarke belts another boundary through backward-square, Dan in Brisbane chips in with this Clarke fact: Based on a quick search, that is the 9th fastest double hundred in test cricket. Clarke joins the top 10 list with Astle, Botham, Gilchrist, Gibbs, and five from Sehwag.
Trent says: Sehwag boasts five of them?! That's incredible, thanks Dan. Clarke is currently striking at 92.18.
1822: FOUR! FOUR! First Clarke goes over slips to a short one from Morne Morkel, then he follows through with an on-drive to send it over the top of mid-on for four. He finishes the over with a two through backward square and a three through cover to continue his complete dominance over Morkel.
1808: Well this is a positive sign for South Africa with Dale Steyn returning to take the new ball. The Proteas desperately need a wicket before stumps to get themselves back in this Test.
1805: HUSSEY REACHES 100! There's no time to bask in Clarke's achievement with Hussey belting Tahir for six over mid-wicket to notch his own century. That's a remarkable shot - he took it from wide outside of off-stump to bring up a Test match ton. It's all happening here in Adelaide. AUS 4/455
1804: CLARKE MAKES HISTORY! Clarke works one around the corner and scurries through for a single to bring up his double-ton. It's a historic feat too, becoming the first player to score four scores of 200 or more in a year.
1800: FOUR! Clarke slams Du Plessis through cover to move within reach of the double-century. A single takes him to 199.
1758: SIX! A rank Tahir full-toss is smashed over the mid-wicket fence by Clarke for six. He moves to 194 with a two and a single to finish the over. AUS 4/441
1757: FOUR! Tahir bowls to Clarke from around the wicket and drops fractionally short, with the skipper jumping back to give himself enough room to cut one to the vacant cover-point fence.
1752: Jynx crisis avoided with Hussey past that cursed number. Turning our attention to Clarke; if the skipper can reach 200 in this innings, he will become the first player to score four double-tons in a year.
1747: FOUR! Hussey continues to drive brilliantly and looks well on his way to another ton. Wait... he's on 87. Touch wood.
1743: Thanks to Drew White for pointing us to an article of what the Proteas have been up to in their break. Check it out here. Drew makes a good point: with nine days in between Tests, surely they could have scheduled a three-day match against a PM's XI or local side?
1740: Toby Hicks asks: What are Usman's stats this year? Phil Hughes? I think they need to be making a few more hundreds to get back into this team. The truth is, if Ponting was to be dropped (how sad), the replacement would be Watson. Having picked Quiney, he must be given a chance to cement his spot. Not everyone starts with a hundred on debut, and the last guy that did that for Australia was playing for the WA second XI last week!
Trent says: Khawaja is the leading run-scorer in the Sheffield Shield with 430 at 60.39, including one ton. Hughes has 352 at 55.87. For those of you calling for Ponting's head, he's scored 355 at an average of 118.
1733: As the Aussies bring up 400 runs on the board, Daniel Bedford says: Will it come down to the board being forced to tap Ponting on the shoulder or do you think he'll call it stumps shortly? Also is there anyone banging down the door to take his spot fulltime?
Trent says: Ponting has said that he will walk when he knows his time is up. I think they will give him the rest of this series to prove to himself whether or not that time has come. As for replacements, Usman Khawaja is the man ringing the front door with a stack of runs in impressive fashion this season.
1727: FOUR! Clarke drives Tahir in the air through cover but evades the fielder to notch another boundary.
1723: SIX! Morkel resumes with a bouncer aimed at Hussey's helmet, but the veteran shows his eyes are still in working order, hooking it off his nostrils and over the fence behind square. Hussey moves to 68.
1716: As drinks come out onto the field, Mark from BrisVegas sheds some light on what the Proteas have been doing in-between Tests: There was a story in the newspapers a few days after the First Test ... they went on holidays and fishing. Their coach, Kirstin, went home. They only started practising again three days before this test. The article wondered how it would affect them going into this game. Now we know.
1714: FOUR! FOUR! Clarke sweeps Tahir square of the wicket with great effect. He dances down to the next delivery but doesn't quite middle his drive, only just evading an attempted diving catch from the man at mid-off. AUS 4/378
1708: WICKET! REVIEW! OVERTURNED: NOT OUT! Morkel beats Hussey's outside edge and the Proteas go up for a caught behind. After a long appeal, Billy Bowden raises the finger! Hussey looks bemused and after consultation with his skipper, opts for a review. The replays show no sign of an edge on Hot Spot. Hussey survives and the misery continues for South Africa.
1657: FOUR! FOUR! FOUR! FOUR! FOUR! Morkel back into the attack. Clarke wastes no time, merely following through with an off-drive first ball and lofting it over the top with sweet timing. Morkel then drops short, Clarke cashing in with an exquisite drive off the back foot through backward point. Next ball - mirror to the second, with exactly the same result. Next ball, Clarke punches a drive and mid-off can only watch as it sails past his reach and to the rope. To finish the over, Clarke launches into the shot of the day - a textbook on-drive for four. That's 20 from the over and 150 up for Clarke. AUS 4/367
1656: SIX! Hussey goes for a slog sweep off Tahir's bowling and makes sweet contact, but there's a man on the fence at mid-wicket! He leaps, but to no avail, the ball clearing the rope and cannoning into the fence.
1654: Why have South Africa been so poor today? Boof's left foot has the answer: What have the Proteas been doing to make em sloppy Trent? ... maybe Penfolds winery like Charles & Camilla and Hillary Clinton were also doing here the other week.
Trent says: They wouldn't be the first (or last) to fall victim to one too many bottles of Penfolds' finest. But as they say, when in Adelaide...
1651: ANOTHER SCARE FOR SOUTH AFRICA! Dale Steyn becomes the second Protea to clutch at the hammy mid run-up! This is shaping as a nightmare for Graeme Smith, who loses his second frontline bowler for the day. Steyn leaves the field to receive treatment as Kleinveldt finishes the over.
1641: FOUR! FIFTY TO HUSSEY! Mr Cricket rocks onto the back foot and glides Kleinveldt behind point for four. Another handy dig from the veteran here, who seems to have answered any questions over his place in next year's Ashes series.
1638: FOUR! Clarke uses his feet to perfection, meeting a Tahir leggy at the pitch of the ball and going straight down the ground.
1636: Clarke drives Tahir through cover for another boundary, and Tristan of Alice Springs has an answer to the back-to-back Ashes extravaganza: Trent, they were just talking to the ACB on ABC grandstand. The reason for the ashes change is that the 2012 ashes was postponed to 2013 due to the olympics and the 2014-15 ashes that we were meant to host is being played earlier so not to clash with the world cup we are hosting then.
Trent says: Cheers Tristan, that makes perfect sense. Thanks also to Rippersportspro, Scott Vassal and Shane Hatch for helping clear that up.
1630: FOUR! Tahir drops short and Clarke cuts, setting off for a run - only to realise there isn't a fielder within cooee of the ball.
1626: FOUR! FOUR! Textbook cover-drive from Clarke, followed by an efficient pull shot from Hussey, as Kleinveldt looks on in despair. He's still yet to claim his first Test wicket and going for four-and-a-half an over despite being one of South Africa's better bowlers today.
1622: FOUR! There's nothing wrong with a good-length Morkel delivery, but Hussey hits straight through the line for a glorious cover-drive boundary. This bloke simply gets better with age.
1619: In response to the release of the Ashes draw for next year, Mark Fletcheron says via email: I have a question, how come the ashes are both being played in England and Australia in the same year? Why has the schedule for the Ashes changed?
Trent says: Not sure the reasoning behind it Mark, but all I can say is we should have no doubts who the better side is after 10 Tests in the space of a few months.
1613: The Proteas have looked really sloppy both with the ball and in the field today. I wonder what they've been doing in the week between Tests and whether the gap has hurt their preparations?
1610: FOUR! Kleinveldt strays onto leg stump and Hussey helps it on its way to the rope at fine leg. Hussey now 36 off 45 - a similar rate to his innings at the Gabba.
1606: Chris Andrews says: The over rate is dreadful. South Africa will be lucky to get the second new ball before stumps.
Trent says: Spot on there Chris, I think they've fallen about 10 overs behind now.
1600: As the players make their way back out onto the Adelaide Oval, Ben of Hobart asks: In the last year, how many times has Michael Clarke gotten out and how many times has he batted? The interview with Watson made me wonder as he hasn't gotten out in this series yet.
Trent says: Since the New Years Test in Sydney this year, Clarke has batted 12 times, been not out three of them (including this match), and scored 1145 runs at 127.2. That's Bradman-like.
1542: TEA! Well after a few nervous moments this morning, Australia are well and truly in the box seat at tea on day one with Michael Clarke and David Warner notching brilliant centuries. The Aussies are scoring at will and look on track for a big first innings total. Grab your afternoon coffee and we'll be back shortly.
1534: HUNDRED TO CLARKE! The skipper squeezes a cut behind point to bring up his ton. The crowd gives him a generous applause as he acknowledges his teammates and various corners of the ground. What an innings from a man in rare form. AUS 4/277.
1533: SIX! FOUR! Tahir serves Hussey up a rank long hop and the veteran wallops him over the rope at mid-wicket. Next ball, he overpitches wide of off-stump and Hussey pierces the field with a brutal cover drive. This is getting ugly for the leggie.
1530: Steyn has adopted a new tactic to Clarke, going round the wicket and at the badge on his helmet. It's stopped the scoring, for this over at least.
1526: FOUR! Tahir overpitches and Hussey launches into a magnificent cover drive that races to the fence. Tahir is going at nine-an-over, which is an even bigger problem for Graeme Smith with the loss of Jacques Kallis. AUS 4/262
1524: FOUR! The leg-spinner Tahir dishes up Clarke a juicey full-toss and the skipper nonchalantly clips the ball square of mid-wicket for a boundary. Another single takes him to 98 off just 100 balls.
1519: FOUR! In the blink of an eye, Clarke moves to 91 with a cut behind square of Steyn's bowling that trickles to the rope. This guy is in some serious form. Is there anyone in better touch in world cricket at the moment?
1514: Stan of Stanmore throws on his selector's cap: Where are all the unAustralian Dave Warner haters now? Hiding under their rocks? This kid is special - he will be a future captain. Ponting and Quiney on the other hand should be axed immediately. To fail on an absolute road against pop-gun bowlers is unforgivable. Hughes and Khawaja should be in - they are decimating Shield bowling attacks at present. Very angry at Aussie selectors - unless we get some good batsmen in the Poms will kill us.
1505: FOUR! Hussey pierces a gap in the off-side field with a confident push off the front-foot.
1459: SIX! Mike Hussey joins the party! Kleinveldt drops short and Hussey makes the most of the short boundary, dispatching him over the fence at square-leg for a six.
1457: We digress for a moment to draw your attention to the Ashes fixtures for 2013. You can check them out here. There'll be just 10 One Day Internationals next summer - that's half the amount on this year's schedule. Is anyone disappointed to see less ODIs? Is this a sign that 50-over cricket is a dieing form of the game? Send through your thoughts.
1449: FOUR! To add insult to injury, Kleinveldt oversteps and Clarke works him away through the on-side and to the rope. That's 10 off the over. AUS 4/223
1447! APPEAL! REFERRAL! NOT OUT! Kleinveldt beats Clarke and the Proteas go up for a caught behind. The decision is given not out by Umpire Bowden and the visitors opt for a referral. Hot Spot shows no sign of an edge. Clarke stays and South Africa are now out of reviews.
1446: EDGE! FOUR! Clarke goes hard at a probing Kleinveldt delivery outside off and gets lucky with the edge piercing the men at first and second slip.
1445: FOUR! Hussey gets away through one of his trademark square drives.
1439: WICKET! (Warner 119 c Smith b Morkel, AUS 4/210) At last, the Proteas breathe a collective sigh of relief with Morkel finding the outside edge of a defending Warner who picks out Graeme Smith at slip. Warner departs for an entertaining yet crucial 119 after rescuing Australia from early danger. Michael Hussey strides out to the middle.
1437: FOUR! South Africa's woes continue with Kleinveldt enticing an edge from Clarke, only to see it travel in the air through the vacant third-slip region. To make matters worse for the lanky paceman, it's been called a no-ball.
1428: As the run feast continues, Hugo says: Hi trent. How much pressure will Ricky be under? Clarke cant keep defending him on what he did last summer against india. South africa is a different side.
Trent says: Hugo, I don't think it's any secret that Punter will be under immense pressure if he doesn't score runs in the second innings. But you have to remember that he's averaging more than 150 in Shield cricket this year, so it's not as if he hasn't been in form, and you add that to the 13,000 runs he's scored in the baggy green. I still think he's got more to offer. Give him one more chance in Perth.
1422: FOUR! FOUR! Now Morkel drops short to Clarke who leans back and helps it on its way over the slips and to the vacant third-man boundary. Warner finishes the over with an edge but the field is spread and there's no third slip to stop him picking up another - less convincing - four. The runs are flowing like Friday drinks.
1420: FOUR! Cop that! Morkel steams in and Warner throws his shoulders at a ball outside off stump, heaving it over the top of cover for another four. He gets slightly lucky with the next ball, going for the repeat but getting less bat on it, picking up three as it pulls up short of the rope.
1410: FOUR! FOUR! Morkel drops a fraction too short and Clarke is onto it in a flash, cutting him behind point and to the rope. The next ball, he works Morkel through mid-wicket for another boundary, bringing up his 50 in the process. Clarke is now 53 off just 56 balls and looming ominously.
1408: FOUR! The runs are flowing in Adelaide with Clarke working one off the pads and around the corner for another four. That's 17 off the Tahir over. AUS 3/164
1407: FOUR! HUNDRED TO WARNER! Warner wastes no time, clubbing a Tahir half-volley the very next ball through point to bring up his ton. What an innings under pressure. He's done it off just 93 balls.
1406: SIX! Warner moves within a shot of the ton with a belligerent slog-sweep to Tahir.
1403: FOUR! Clarke gets away with one there, French-cutting Morkel for a streaky four to fine-leg. Thankfully for Clarke, they all go down in the scorebook the same.
1402: FOUR! Morkel replaces Du Plessis in the attack. He drops short to Warner early in the over who neatly tucks him to the leg-side and into the gap in almost arrogant fashion for another boundary. Warner's pre-Test critics are ducking for cover as he moves to 90.
1358: APPEAL! REVIEW! Tahir catches Clarke on the pads and goes up with an enthusiastic appeal. Umpire Bowden turns it down. The Proteas opt for an appeal. It's close, hitting him in line - but it was too high. The decision stands.
1357: FOUR! Clarke comes down to Tahir and lifts him over mid-on for another boundary.
1354: Australia have now scored 31 runs from the three overs after lunch. You wonder what Graeme Smith is going to do after taking off his frontline spinner, Tahir, in favour of Du Plessis who was absolutely belted.
They've found the ball that Warner belted into the construction site and Tahir will take it from the other end.
1351: SIX! FOUR! Faf Du Plessis replaces Tahir in the attack and kicks off the over with a big, loopy, waist-high full toss. That's all the invitation Warner needs, cracking it into the building site. That will take some finding. The umpires go for a new ball. A single brings Clarke on strike, and he dances down the track to dispose of another full-toss.
1346: FOUR! FOUR! Morkel drops short and Clarke heaves him over mid-wicket with terrific timing. The next ball, Morkel pitches up outside off-stump and Clarke plays a glorious cover drive to make it back-to-back boundaries. The skipper looks in great touch again today.
1342: FOUR! SIX! Tahir resumes and Warner shows he didn't lose his timing over lunch, sweeping a full-toss through mid-wicket and beating the man on the rope. Tahir ends the over with a juicey full-bunger and Warner's eyes light up, dispatching him over the mid-wicket fence for his second maximum of the innings. Warner moves to 77. AUS 3/110
1339: As we near resumption in Adelaide, the Ponting critics are warming their voices:
Paul of Wyong says: The last time I saw someone fall down like Ponting was watching Bambi or Jumbo when I was a kid lol but fear not because our brilliant selectors have him pencilled in to lead our A team to England. Lets get this summer out of the way first before we consider next year. If Ponting fails in the second dig I implore the selectors to recall Usman Khawaja and call time on Ponting's wonderful career. I would rather lose the series blooding young talent than get beaten with over the hill players.
Bodie says: This is sad. It's like watching a punch- drunk boxer refusing to leave the ring. Sorry Ricky, it's time.
Saying Like IT IS of Greenny says: Well said ASTON Of CBD , i am a huge fan of Ponting but he had a wonder career. Should retire on a high take inspiration from people like steve who knew when was the right time to leave. Quiney after the first test how he got out to a well execute plan indicates to me that he lacks the patience for that of test cricket. so drop him for some one new a little younger like Alex Doolan. Or radical some another all rounder like Dan Christian, Moises Henriques or Glen Maxwell.
1325: Mad Mick of ACT says: Trent, how do handle all the keyboard selectors on here, who change their team every innings. The same ones calling for Warners head last test called for Cowans three weeks ago now want ponting and Quiney gone. Don't get me started on the bowlers.
Trent says: The tunes change more frequently than the tides on here Mick... although I don't know whether I can talk - are there any more fickle than journalists?
1312: Damo joins us from all the way over in Japan: Hi guys, marvellous blog, following in Japan. Very disappointed in our start, as usual our selectors have chosen duds. Where did they pluck this Quiney bloke from, 3rd grade in Rowville? Also, where is starc? We are carrying pop-gun Hilfy again! C'mon punter rescue us! Cheers, Damo.
Trent says: Sadly there'll be no Punter rescue missions this time Damo, but yes, Hilfy is back. Was anyone else surprised that they didn't go with Starc? To be fair, Hilfenhaus did bowl consistently at the Gabba and really dried up the runs at one end which can make guys like Pattinson and Siddle more dangerous. Still, I'm hoping he will rediscover that late swing we saw from him last summer.
1309: Workplace cricket followers, spare a thought for Matthew Darby who says: Speaking of not having coverage, I work for a company that has 10 floors, all of which have multiple TVs on every floor… except for ours!! To add to that my Cricket live app isn't working. Thank goodness for fox sports Blogs!!
Trent says: Keep your hardluck stories coming through to email@example.com
1307: The word is that Kallis has strained a glute - a very painful injury that is unlikely to see him bowl again today.
1300: LUNCH! Well after a blistering start, followed by a mini-collapse, Australia are in an OK spot at 3/100 at lunch with Dave Warner still there and looking good on 67. The Proteas have lost Jacques Kallis to a likely hamstring injury but we're yet to receive any updates on his condition.
1256: FOUR! Kleinveldt drops short to Clarke and the skipper pulls without complete control but still manages to muscle it to the rope at mid-wicket. That's also the hundred up for the Aussies. AUS 3/100
1254: Almost to answer our question immediately, the first one turns in a big way past Clarke's outside edge. Tidy start from Tahir; three runs from it.
1253: Very intriguing bowling change here with the leg-spinner Imran Tahir introduced before the lunch break. Lets see if this wicket offers anything for the tweakers.
1249: FOUR! The new bowler Rory Kleinveldt pitches up and Clarke helps himself to a classical on-drive, beating the man at mid-on for a boundary.
1244: Rippersportspro of NSW says: Is it just me or has Clarke played a Steve Waugh like role, albeit with a higher strike rate in doing so, over the last 12 months? 3 down for not many (insert a number between 30 and 90) and saves Australia's bacon with basically a masterclass in batting when the chips are down. He badly needs another massive score (and at least Warner, et al to chip in with some runs too).
Trent says: A pretty glowing endorsement there and I reckon you're not too far off the mark, Rippersportspro. Both bat with that gritty sense of determination and seem to thrive when the going is tough. Clarke's game has gone to new levels since taking over from Ponting ... I think he's averaging something in the 70s as skipper.
1235: FOUR! Warner gets away with a dicey drive off the back foot that beats the man at backward point. That was in the air for a long way, but the cards are falling Warner's way so far this morning.
1232: So I wonder how the Proteas will cope without Kallis in the attack? Will he be back today? They already came into the Test underdone with no Philander, and now they've lost one of their most reliable wicket takers - he's already grabbed two scalps this morning. You only have to look at the ball he undid Ponting with to realise his influence in their side.
As Brian of Brisbane described it: Wow, that ball from Kallis to Ponting looked like Akram or Imran Khan in their prime... Quality stuff, and I doubt too many people could of played it any better.
1223: TROUBLE FOR SOUTH AFRICA. There's a huge blow for the Proteas here with Jacques Kallis pulling up in his bowling run-up. It looks like a hamstring injury. He leaves the field mid-over for treatment. The injury list continues to grow ominously for the visitors.
1222: FOUR! Clarke clips Kallis off his pads to the vacant fine leg gap for his opening boundary.
1218: Ouch! Steyn pins Clarke with a bouncer at the helmet. That almost took off the Aussie skipper's head.
1217: FOUR! Superb timing from Warner, who simply leans on the back foot to Steyn and punches him through the off-side for another boundary. Terrific shot. AUS 3/72
1214: As Dale Steyn comes back into the attack in place of Morne Morkel, Luke Pollock asks: Hi Trent I was just wondering wat do u think about the likelihood of clarkey getting another hundred this test?
Trent says: If you had of asked me 25 minutes ago Luke, I would have said his chances are very good. Warner and Cowan were making this look easy work. But the three wickets have put the Proteas right on top and the pressure will be on. Clarke is in great touch at the moment and if he can get a start - say to 30 - then I'm tipping him to go on with it.
1213: FIFTY TO WARNER! A clip off the pads for two to Warner brings up a quick-fire 50 to the Aussie opener. It's come off just 69 deliveries. This could prove a crucial dig for his confidence, with plenty of talk during the week that his spot in the side is dicey at the moment. Lets hope he can go on with it.
1205: SIX! Warner hooks a bouncer and it catches the top edge, sailing safely into the construction site at the Adelaide Oval. There's a delay as one of the workers collects the ball from the scaffolding at the vacant stand.
1202: WICKET! (Ponting 4, b Kallis, AUS 3/55) Ponting undone by a beauty! Kallis beats the former skipper with a full out-swinger that squares him up and clips the off stump. Ponting's struggles continue and so does this mini-collapse for Australia.
1159: FOUR! Warner pushes forward to Kallis and edges but soft hands ensures the ball hits turf early and beats the cordon for another boundary.
1155: WICKET! (Quiney 0, c Smith b Morkel, AUS 2/44) There will be no fairytale second time around for Rob Quiney, who is caught playing back on the crease against Morkel and edges to Graeme Smith at first slip. The tide has turned quickly at the Adelaide Oval.
1152: There's some conjecture over the method of Cowan's dismissal. The ball came off the bat after collecting his big toe, ballooning back to Kallis who accepted the catch. According to the rule book, being out caught overrides the LBW.
1147: WICKET! (Cowan 10, LBW Kallis, AUS 1/43) And there is the breakthrough! The veteran Kallis catches Cowan in front with a fullish delivery that cannons into his toe. Billy Bowden raises the finger and that's plumb.
1144: A change in the bowling with Jacques Kallis replacing Steyn. The Aussies will have to be careful they don't become complacent now.
1142: FOUR! Very streaky from Warner this time. He plants the front foot and throws everything at this one, but Morkel can only watch as it catches the edge and sails over the slips cordon for another four. Do you think the big paceman is happy about this? The three well-directed bouncers to finish the over suggest not. Warner now 32 from 34. AUS 0/43
1141: FOUR! Wow, Warner on fire. Morkel overpitches and Warner helps himself to another powerful cover drive. The men at cover and point don't stand a chance at the moment.
1136: FOUR! Crunched! Warner throws his hands at a wideish Steyn delivery and the ball rockets to the cover fence. FOUR! Steyn drops short this time and Warner rocks onto the back foot, punching it through the same gap for consecutive boundaries. AUS 0/34
1131: Oh dear, a frustrated Morne Morkel retrieves one of his own deliveries and has a shy at the stumps at the striker's end, only to hit and watch helplessly as the batsmen scurry through for a single.
1129: FOUR! Steyn overpitches to Cowan and the Tasmanian leans onto the front foot, piercing the gap in front of point for his first boundary of the morning.
1124: FOUR! Strange shot from Warner, a lofted inside-out drive which balloons over the top but falls safely en route to the cover fence. FOUR MORE! Warner goes hard and in far more convincing manner this time, crunching a square drive through the gap at cover-point. The little leftie is making his intentions known early. AUS 0/21
1121: Ryan Bastable emails in from the unenviable position of a work desk: Hoping the updates are coming thick and fast today lads! Hatchy and I are stuck in the office here in Adelaide with no coverage of the game until the last session! We are pinning our hopes on you! No pressure! Hoping Pattinson stings a few of the South Africans up early and picks up a couple of wickets early! Big, big fan of the aggression the lad shows!
Trent says: Sorry to hear that Ryan, hope we can do your day one experience justice. I see Pattinson has had a little bit to say in the media this week ... here's to hoping he delivers in Pattinson v Smith: R2.
1116: FOUR! Warner breaks the shackles with an ambitious drive that carries in the air through the vacant backward-point region. Gee that went like a rocket. AUS 0/9
1112: Morkel comes around the wicket to Warner and has a decent shout for LBW turned town. That looked a little high, and the replay confirms Umpire Bowden's doubts.
1105: Steyn begins with a good over, just the one from it. Morne Morkel takes the ball at the other end with Vernon Philander succumbing to a back complaint. He's known to be a bit of a rocks or diamonds type bowler, Morkel - unpredictable but extremely dangerous on his day. Will he rise to the challenge?
1100: Apologies everyone but we're experiencing some delays with blog updates reflecting on site. Hope to have it fixed shortly. David Warner and Ed Cowan are in the middle, with Dale Steyn taking the new ball.
1053: Interesting to note that at the toss, Michael Clarke mentioned that this Adelaide pitch has a little bit more grass than he is used to seeing. I wonder if that might offer something to South Africa's quicks with the new ball?
1040: Good morning all and welcome to foxsports.com.au's LIVE and INTERACTIVE coverage of the second Test at Adelaide Oval. Trent Hile joining you from Fox Sports blog HQ where we're anticipating a thrilling second installment of this series between Australia and South Africa.
The news is that Michael Clarke has won the toss and elected to bat on a picture perfect opening morning in Adelaide. The Aussies will field an unchanged line-up, while the Proteas have brought in Imran Tahir, Rory Kleinveldt in the place of the injured Vernon Philander and all-rounder Faf du Plessis for the injured JP Duminy.

Often when I grow courgettes (in containers), and sometimes with pumpkins, the plants split their stems just when they seem to be developing well. Is it a watering issue? I try to water consistently and reasonably. It doesn't seem to be a fatal affliction for the plant but surely its performance is handicapped by this to some extent?

Two amendments are from Sen. Rob PortmanRob PortmanJohn Bolton PAC pours more cash into GOP campaigns Dem campaign arm: Poll numbers slipping for vulnerable Republicans GOP senator jokingly calls Sherrod Brown 'Mr. Vice President' MORE (R-Ohio). One would require a dollar in spending cuts for every dollar increase in the debt ceiling, the other would provide for automatic continuing resolutions if no appropriations bills were signed, thus avoiding the risk of government shutdowns.
Another, from Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.), would prioritize payments by the federal government in the event the debt ceiling is not raised. The last, from Sen. Rand PaulRand PaulRand Paul wants to legalize cooperation Dem fears Iran nuke deal gives license to back Saudis GOP lawmakers vie for convention power MORE (R-Ky.), would prohibit the transfer of F-16s to Egypt.
After the Senate starts work at 9:30 a.m., it should finish one of the amendment votes shortly after noon.
Then, after a recess, the Senate will finish work on the rest of them starting shortly after 2 p.m., and hold a final passage vote after disposing of all amendments and a motion.
Assuming the bill is approved with no amendments, Senate passage will send the bill to President Obama for his signature. Once it's a law, the debt ceiling will be suspended through May 18, a delay that both sides hope will lead to some longer-term deal on the debt ceiling.
The bill would also put pressure on the House and Senate each to pass a budget resolution. Failure to do so by either chamber by April 15 would result in the withholding of pay for members of that chamber.

2013 Lexus ES 350/ES 300h: Renewed and Reviewed
New Style, New Hybrid Powertrain Debut
Backed by the introduction of a crisper, more noticeable design language, Lexus is clearly committed to adding a little flair to its premium lineup, and that's even the case with its entry-level offerings like the 2013 Lexus ES 350. The sixth-generation model of the sedan wears the brand's dynamic "spindle" grille and some subtle-yet-effective design work at the rear, and—as discovered at a recent press gathering for the car's launch—is expected to deliver "segment-leading value" when it goes on sale in mid-August. (With exact pricing info to be released between now and then.)
Also among the deliverables: The first hybrid powertrain ever offered in the ES family. Helping motivate the new 2013 Lexus ES 300h, the setup should provide 39 mpg in combined driving and could be an important advantage for a vehicle that plays in one of the most competitive classes of the industry.
What else is new for the all-new ES? Here's a quick look:

New Style, New Hybrid Powertrain Debut
2013 Lexus ES350/ES 300h: Style Comes to the Forefront
In the past, about the only time you heard the words "Lexus" and "style" in the same sentence was when they were separated by the phrase "is lacking in." The brand's new face—featuring what Lexus terms its spindle grille—is a strong effort to change that kind of perception, and it's fairly successful. The grille itself is sort of pinched in from the sides by the car's detailed headlights, which, in turn, are accented by lower LED daytime running lamps, and the result is a stronger, more aggressive look that's accentuated by a chrome grill surround and a prominent lower front valence. In fact, the way the bottom lip flares outward is somewhat reminiscent of the look of the Ford Mustang Boss 302.
There's similar attention to detail at the rear, highlighted by a sculptural effect that creates an unusual, multi-faceted appearance around the back corners of the ES. It's a bit hard to see from some angles, but look for the triangular surface just on top of the crease between the ES' flanks and the rear of the car.
Lexus also raised the beltline in the ES as compared to the previous iteration for a more imposing presence and cheated a bit with a very subtle character line that brings the eye's focus to the rear wheels; it's the kind of thing usually meant to remind folks that a car offers rear-wheel drive, but just keep in mind that the ES doesn't.
Key differences between the traditionally powered and hybrid models are minor but naturally include the exhaust tips, with dual outlets in the former and a single, hidden outlet in the latter—which also gets a small deck-lid spoiler for improved aerodynamics. And speaking of which, the coefficient of drag here is now down to .27, thanks to underbody enhancements and the deployment of aero fins at the side mirrors, door frames and rear lights.

New Style, New Hybrid Powertrain Debut
2013 Lexus ES350/ES 300h: A Bigger and Better Interior
The cabin of the 2013 Lexus ES simply provides more of a good thing. Lexus engineers have set the car on a longer wheelbase, and the new structural proportions make themselves known in a roomier cabin, especially in the rear seats. Second-row passengers will be able to enjoy an extra 4.1 inches of legroom, an additional 2.8 inches of knee room and even a further .8 inches worth of headroom. Of course, the pilot and co-pilot also gain comfort upgrades and will benefit from a new, more supportive seat design with added bolstering, while an ergonomically improved steering-column angle enables the driver to control the car from a more natural position. That column also is attached to a brand-new steering wheel design with metallic and wood highlights that are another step in the right direction, stylistically, for Lexus.
The 2013 Lexus ES also switches to a fresh dual-dash layout that groups gauges and readouts on the "display" level and the car's switchgear at the "control" level for ease of operation. The second-generation Remote Touch Interface (RTI) is on hand to provide drivers with easy access and control of key vehicle systems and infotainment resources, but in in a way that doesn't require fussing with a touchscreen; instead, the RTI was designed to mimic the functionality of a wireless computer mouse. It's surprisingly simple to get used to, and Lexus engineers claim it allows drivers to keep their hands and eyes in proper driving positions better than with a touchscreen setup. (The RTI in the ES 350 was a bit overly sensitive, but some allowances must be made for the fact this is a pre-production vehicle. There were no issues in the hybrid, nor in past Lexi I've tested.)
Craftsmanship was impeccable, with particularly nice hand-sewn leather that actually lived up to Lexus' press propaganda and a restrained, tasteful use of wood accents; the ES proper gets a dark bird's-eye maple, with the hybrid offering a lighter but no less elegant bamboo. (In addition to actual leather, Lexus ES customers can choose NuLuxe seating surfaces that provide the same kind of supple comfort but without the need for environmentally iffy tanning procedures, etc.) My only real concern was the headliner material, which seemed a bit cheapish for a Lexus—although perhaps not an entry-level one.

New Style, New Hybrid Powertrain Debut
2013 Lexus ES350/ES 300h: Road Manners
Although the Lexus ES350 still holsters its same powertrain—a 268-hp V6 that makes 248 lb.-ft. of torque and features dual intelligent variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed sequential-shift automatic—the company did squeeze out a few extra miles per gallon in all EPA measures. The new ratings are projected to come in at 21 mpg city/31 mpg highway/24 mpg combined, representing improvements of 2 mpg/3 mpg/2 mpg. Also, engineers worked overtime to upgrade the car's ride and handling: The body structure is stiffer, the steering ratio is quicker, and both front and rear suspensions have been modified as well. Given the car's slipperier aerodynamics and a relatively low curb weight of 3,549 lbs. (about 30 lbs. lower than in 2012), the all-new Lexus ES350 might just improve on its 0-60 time of 7.2 seconds, too.
The new Lexus still isn't exactly a sport sedan, but it does include a Drive Mode selector with a Sport mode that significantly tightens up the steering and improves responsiveness in the ES 350. This feature also shows up in the ES 300h, to much less noticeable effect in terms of performance; Sport mode transforms the car's hybrid-power monitor display to a tachometer, too.
As for the ES 300h's Lexus hybrid Drive system, it combines a 2.5-liter Atkinson-cycle I4 engine, a nickel-metal-hydride battery pack and electric motor to deliver a total of 200 hp and some eye-popping fuel-economy numbers. Lexus is expecting the car to post an EPA line of 40 mpg city/39 mpg highway/39 mpg combined, while being the least-expensive hybrid in its class.
It should be the "go to" choice among ES buyers, too, at least in this reviewer's opinion. The V6 delivers adequate power, but, frankly, performance is not the car's strong suit. For all its suspension upgrades and Sport modes and whatnot, the Lexus ES 350 will feel a bit sloppy to enthusiasts, who aren't really in the target audience anyway. The ES 300h, on the other hand, more than lives up to its billing as a high-efficiency luxury sedan, easily topping 39 mpg during a 25-mile driving loop that included more than a few miles in Sport mode. There was more wind noise than I would have preferred, and the hallmarks of the hybrid driving experience—the occasional droning sound from under the hood and grabby regenerative brakes—have not been entirely eliminated, but overall, the Lexus ES 300h was a very satisfying package.

2013 Lexus ES350/ES 300h: Gadgetry
As expected, the 2013 Lexus ES showcases a wide range of lux goodies, from the latest electronic safety measures to the usual gamut of creature comforts, including:
- Lexus Enform with App Suite, allowing access to connected resources such as Pandora, Bing and Facebook Places
- A hard-drive-based navigation system with integrated backup camera, voice command and an eight-inch display screen
- 835 watts and 15 speakers worth of Mark Levinson audio performance
- A blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert
- Lane-departure warning
- Lexus' Pre-Collision System, capable of detecting potential obstructions ahead of the ES and then automatically preparing the vehicle for a possible impact
- 10 airbags, including knee units for both driver and front-seat passenger
- A panoramic glass roof with two separate panels—one that opens for front-seat occupants and a fixed pane for rear-seat passengers
- Ambient interior lighting
- Heated/ventilated front seats
- Automatic recirculation control, capable of detecting potentially harmful smog levels and switching the car's climate system to recirculation mode
- On the ES 300h, a vehicle proximity notification system that uses an audible alert to keep pedestrians aware of the car even if its travelling in its low-noise EV mode
- Automatic high beams that switch off if oncoming traffic is detected and in other scenarios
- Rain-sensing wipers
- Adaptive cruise control

Rather than have a slew of certificates located in a single directory, I want to have certificates divided across several directories. Currently my server calls, SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(), for which only a single CA_DIR can be passed. Looks like others have wanted to do similar (see http://firstname.lastname@example.com/msg55557.html for example), but I can't find any documentation on the appropriate solution.
So I stared looking at the source for SSL_CTX_load_verify_locations(), which is a wrapper for X509_STORE_load_locations(), which calls X509_STORE_add_lookup() and then X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() once. So can I simply write something similar to X509_STORE_load_locations() but call X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() multiple times (i.e. once for each directory)?
Please advise.
PS: Where can I find documentation on the X509... API provided by openSSL? On www.openssl.org, I can only find http://www.openssl.org/docs/crypto/x509.html# , but I cannot find any link to X509_LOOKUP_add_dir() or other functions/macros exposed in the openssl x509 headers.

I didn't think this was possible, but I have been studying so hard for finals during the past week, that I forgot how to have fun.
srsly. :gasp:
This was what I did the past half hour - listening to Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" over and over again.
You know how incredibly sad that is?!
On another note: Sheesh, how many characters can we fit into the subject line of these journal things?
Anyhoo, the end of 2007 is coming upon us. A lot of crazy stuff happened. I guess the most insane thing I will never forget was when the whole internet crashed for everyone. Class was canceled that day. Wheee.

February Commercial Vehicle Orders Drop
Posted: Mar 20, 2012 4:02 PM | Last Updated: Oct 30, 2014 9:29 AM
COLUMBUS, IN – It looks like February's commercial vehicle net orders came in below most people's expectations, reported ACT Research.
The modest drop did not change ACT Research's expectations for a very strong year of class 8 demand.
"One only has to look at an order graph to see than in any given month orders can fall well above, or well below expectations," said Kenny Vieth, president and senior analyst at ACT. "The list of reasons trucks are purchased remains positive from top to bottom, and the industry's backlog of unbuilt orders is deep.

Robots Are People, Too
If courts are going to treat corporations like humans, they should do the same for robots.
In Burwell v. Hobby Lobby, the Supreme Court recognized that corporations are entitled to religious freedom under the First Amendment, much as actual people are. This further expands the "legal personhood" of corporations. They have the right to own property, enter into and enforce contracts, and make political expenditures under the First Amendment. However, corporations also have some of the obligations of real people: They can be sued and held liable under civil and criminal law.
These rights and responsibilities stem from federal and state laws, which recognize that corporations are "people" in certain situations. The idea of "legal personhood" existed in America originally to promote the work of the country's first corporations: banks, insurance companies, water companies, and transportation companies. At the time, these corporations were viewed as providing essential public services. They needed to have some of the rights and responsibilities of real people to provide those services.
I wouldn't disagree that we've gone too far in considering corporations people under the law. But the initial reasoning for corporate legal personhood—treat them as legal persons so they can be beneficial—is still sound. The reasoning is also sound for robots.
We are beginning to see autonomous technology and artificial intelligence that we will interact with as we would with other people. We'll talk to our self-driving cars, rely on drones instead of the FedEx guy to deliver packages, and use original media and content (like recipes) produced by machines. To help ensure that our interactions with these robots are beneficial and occur as intended, we need state legislatures and Congress to pass laws that grant limited legal personhood to these types of technology. After all, if we are dealing with robots like they are real people, the law should recognize that those interactions are like our interactions with real people. In some cases, that will require recognizing that the robots are insurable entities like real people or corporations and that a robot's liability is self-contained. In the same way you cannot sue a person who is nearby an accident if he did nothing to cause the accident, you should not be able to sue the owner or operator of an autonomous drone who did nothing wrong while the drone was autonomously operating. At the same time, victims of drone accidents need to have recourse to recover for their injuries, and the drone's insurance provides them with that.
Similarly, when you use a grocery delivery drone and its software to determine your food needs, make your order, and deliver it, the store will actually have very little interaction directly with your order. When there's a problem with your order, from a legal perspective, your claim will be against the drone and its insurance, so you will need to have a contract with the machine. Otherwise, you'll need to sue the store to get to the drone, despite the retailer's relative innocence. At other times, like when a drone is acting in the place of a delivery person, the law will need to adequately recognize that the drone is an agent for the retail company and the contracts it forms are binding against the company.

'Tweenyboppers at Work
The Miley Cyrus controversy.
Meghan O'Rourke chatted online with readers about this article. Read the transcript.
Call me insensitive, but I didn't think that the supposedly "racy"photo of 'tween star Miley Cyrus holding a bedsheet around her bare torso was as outré as all the fuss made it out to be. Sure, Cyrus' hair is tousled in a sexual way, and she is, technically, topless. But from a less alarmist perspective, the photograph is—as Annie Leibovitz described it—highly classical. It focuses on the contrast between Cyrus' alabaster skin and dark hair, and it captures, in her vulnerable yet adult gaze, the strangeness of the transitional period known as adolescence. To be 15 is to be no longer a child, even if you are not yet an adult.
The most revealing picture in the article, though, was a photo of Cyrus sprawled atop her father, country singer Billy Ray Cyrus (of "Achy Breaky Heart" fame). Billy Ray looked quite at home—hell, even happy—with the fact that his young daughter was the subject of a Vanity Fair shoot and that he was along for the ride. Take one glance at the picture, and something clarifies itself. The issue here isn't the relative appropriateness of a 15-year-old being photographed draped in bedsheets but the degree to which Cyrus' parents and Disney have consigned Cyrus to the excruciating demands of being a thoroughly "packaged" 'tween star. Because if you turn on the Disney Channel and clock a little time with Hannah Montana, what you'll find is that the layers of self-presentation in the photos are nowhere near as weird as those in the showitself.
Hannah Montana is a sitcom, after all, built on the idea that the dilemmas of multimillion-dollar stardom are as relevant as the problems of Marcia Brady. Cyrus plays a girl ("Miley Stewart") plucked from obscurity in Tennessee to become a 'tweenybopper sensation ("Hannah Montana") in Malibu, Calif. Miley's father, Robby Ray (played by Cyrus' actual father), is determined to keep her head on straight, and the show's plots revolve coyly around the predicaments of being a real person and a celebrity at the same time. The fact that this appeals to kids is odd enough: Who knew that 9-year-olds (among the show's core audience) were enthralled by efforts to find a balance between life and career? As Disney's Web site describes it (ungrammatically), "While the glamour and the fame does have its perks[,] limousines cool clothes and hanging out with celebrities, Miley most wants to be treated like any other teenager."What's striking, though, is that we don't see all that much of Miley being a real person, going to school, riding the school bus. Instead, the show is really all about being a pop star. In one episode, Miley feels neglected because her father is writing a song for the Jonas Brothers (another huge teen sensation on and off the screen); in another, he's sick and she wants to go to Florida without him to perform at a big concert with her pop rival Michaela. (The moral of that episode? Dad needs to let his little pop princess grow up and travel with only a family friend as a chaperone.) The parental celebration of Hannah Montana's "clean" values misses the point. The show may not show much skin or make explicit sexual jokes, but it is lousy with a wised-up materialism.
Take an episode in which Hannah Montana realizes she hates the perfume she's about to become the spokeswoman for. She has to choose between keeping her integrity and keeping a convertible the perfume company sent her way. She makes the wrong choice, and finds herself having to lie on a TV talk show about loving the perfume. (The host replies, "I'm glad you're not one of those celebrities who goes out and pushes something you don't believe in.") One thing leads to another, and by the end of the show, she's backed out of her contract; we watch her wince goofily as the prized convertible (which she's too young to drive) is towed away. This is the way the show works: It teaches kids to understand their own experiences—about growing pains, about being honest with their parents, and so on—through the narrow lens of teen celebrity, rather than through broader storytelling. Once, sitcoms taught kids to be true to themselves by showing what happened when, say, Greg Brady thought about cheating on a test, or how Sandy and Bud's adventures with Flipper shaped their character. Hannah Montana instructs them in the proper etiquette of endorsement deals.

I am the co-author of the 'Klingon Covert Operations Manual'.

I am still allowed to sell the B&W comb-bound version out of my home. The Admiral rank pin icons I pulled from various FASA Star Trek gaming publications, primarily 'The Klingons #2002', published in 1987. I had sent Majel Barrett a copy of my manual in appreciation of her help in past matters and she had shown it around and obviously someone took note of the pins and used them. As Paramount does not make an effort to normally look at, let alone use material from fan publications, this was likely done for the following reason.... At the time of the publication of my manual, I was running the worlds largest Klingon fanclub, called 'Klingon Strike Force' which I ran from 1984 to 1995 and which is still running but now online and under someone else's command. I was hired as a consultant to Paramount Studios during which time I was permitted to submit ideas to the show. The only key item I'm aware of that I submitted that was used in the show was in the first season of ST:TNG in which Wesley Crusher was talking with his mom, Dr. Beverley Crusher in the medical office and he talked about a new weapon which he didn't mention by name but which he cited principle's of operation from my weapon which used trans-warp engines to seek out external warp displacement signatures in order to home in on that signal and destroy the object. That several of you noted that rank pins were seen in the series based off my use of them in my own manual is much appreciated.
Other key points of my work:
- I developed the first Klingon text-font for Apple computer before there was even text-font software.
- The 'Klingon Strike Force' is now the longest-running Klingon fanclub in existence.
- Articles about myself and my club were written in the following magazines - People, Newsweek and Family Circle.
- I have done college interviews, radio interviews and both television and newspaper interviews.
- I was hired to appear in Klingon costume to help open the Portland, Oregons's OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science & Industry) traveling Star Trek exhibit.
My greatest achievement:
Upstaging William Shatner here in Seattle. He was speaking at the Convention center when I appeared in costume. When the audience heard I was there, a majority left the auditorium to come take pictures of me and Shatner got upset and asked security to have me leave till he finished speaking.

1 -- Digging the Hole
Once the finished pool location is determined, we can actually machine dig the hole fairly close to the finished dimensions we need.
2 -- Assembling Stairs
Here the wall shelf and hopper have been dug and we are just starting to assemble the steel stair components.
3 -- Steel Walls In Place
This photo shows all the galvanized steel walls and stairs assembled and leveled.
4 -- Stabilizing the Base
We use a machine compactor to thoroughly tamp the slope and floor areas, both for steel wall and for concrete wall pools. This provides a stable base for our vermiculite/concrete bottom.
5 -- Dual Main Drains -- Set in Concrete
We use two main drains to provide dual suction on hopper pools. And we set them in a solid concrete floor at the bottom of the hopper.
6 -- Plumbing Lying on Smooth Concrete
Detail of plumbing lying on top of the smooth concrete bond beam. We plumb all our in-ground pools with the best materials and with time proven techniques. It takes some extra effort, but we feel it's worth it.
7 -- Coping Installed
In this photo, the white receptor coping is installed on top of the steel walls and troweling of the concrete/vermiculite bottom is nearly complete.
8 -- PVC Plumbing
We take the extra time to use all rigid PVC plumbing because our experience has shown us it's the most durable, trouble-free, insect resistant material available for pool plumbing.
11 -- Ready for water
Another view of the pool ready for water and backfilling.
9 -- Solid Concrete Pad for Pump/Filter
We provide a substantial concrete equipment pad, both on our steel wall and concrete wall pools, to prevent any movement or shifting and to ensure the integrity of the plumbing through the winter heave and thaw.
10 -- Pool Liner is set.
With it's liner drawn tightly by vacuum, the concrete bond beam set and plumbing completed, this pool is ready for water and backfilling.

A Springs organization, opposed to a possible war on Iraq, was vandalized over the weekend.
Workers at the Pikes Peak Justice and Peace Commission say they found their office windows broken and anti-war banners missing. They say this kind of violent action is exactly what they're fighting against.
A candlelight vigil was held in front of the commission's offices Sunday evening to demonstrate solidarity and their work for peace.

< results / Huggies
Problem to Solve
The diaper aisle at a major retailer like Walmart is saturated, to say the least. (No pun intended.) To make sure mom picks up Huggies over any other brand, we had to give her a meaningful reason to buy above and beyond product benefits.
Lunchbox Solution

Leveraging Huggies national charity program, Every Little Bottom, which donates diapers to babies in need, our solution was to create a unique program for Walmart shoppers where their Huggies purchase could really do some greater good. For every package of Huggies diapers bought at Walmart, two additional diapers would be donated to diaper banks and distributed to families who couldn't provide them for their babies. To get the word out about the program, we created a custom experience on walmart.com, featuring documentary style videos explaining how the program worked from all points of view: the mom in need, the mom who wants to help and the mom who organizes it all at the diaper bank. All videos gave her ways to help the cause - the simplest of which was to purchase Huggies diapers at Walmart. Users could come back to view the interactive chart tracking the Crawl to 1,000,000 as the program progressed.

Week 6 (Season 6) - Recap
<-- Previous Episode
Next Episode -->
There are seven bachelors left on this trip with Ali. They are going to Instanbul, Turkey and they are all quite excited. Unfortunately, pretty much immediately things go horribly wrong for Ali. Despite having ignored the other bachelor's about Canadian Wrestler Justin and seeing the best that could be in him...we find out that he has a few secrets. They get there and she gets a knock on her hotel room door. It is the host, Chris Harrison, and he is there to tell her that her good friend from The Bachelor has information about one of the bachelors. Chris asks if Ali wants to talk to Jessie about it and she gets on the phone. She tells her that she found information out about Justin. He apparently has a girlfriend named Jessica back in Canada. Not only that, but she has her right there with her!
Jessie asks Ali if she would like to talk to Jessica and she puts her on the phone. Jessica is clearly nervous and hesitant. She starts to cry and says that he is only on the show to benefit him and her because he will get famous by being on it. His goal was to at least be in the top three of the bachelor's because they are most famous. Jessica told her that she went to get his headshots with him for the auditions. Then she found out that there is another girl that he is with. So, Justin has two girlfriends and doesn't give a crap about Ali. She handles it well while discussing the situation with his girlfriend. She's not crying or anything.
The producers confirmed all of the information that Jessica gave Ali. Justin would just slide away and call her multiple times while doing the show. She decides that she needs to go and deal with him as soon as possible. When Ali goes into the guy's place with Chris Harrison, she goes and tells them all that she knows it's been hard for all of them and especially for Rated R since he probably misses the girlfriend that he has waiting for him back in Canada.
Ali snaps and she tells him that Jessica called and she is livid. She gives him a lot of grief because he talked such a good game such as respecting women and all of that "I'm really a sweet guy" nonsense. He hops up and decides to walk over. He doesn't want to fight, he just wants to walk away. She tries to tell him to sit down and step it up. He tells her that he doesn't have a girlfriend. When he walks out, Chris Harrison follows him and he asks what is gonna happen, and asks if he is just going to leave without having a word with her. He tries getting a way but can't find an exist. He is completely covered by crew from the show. So, he eventually jumps over some trees trying to get away. Unfortunately for him, that's not going to happen.
He gets with it and then goes to talk to Ali. He tells her that he understands how she may be feeling. He tells her that Jessica is a person that he has strong feelings for but not in a romantic way. He also tells Ali that he started realizing he didn't have feelings for Ali and wanted to give his rose away but he just couldn't. She is still pissed and she asks him about his second girlfriend. He apologizes and walks out. The cameras follow him and they played multiple voicemails from Justin to his girlfriend Jessica that were full of the mushiness of a thousand mashed potatoes. Ali is infuriated and then she stops wasting time and goes on a date with Ty. They have a great time and she says that he was just what she needed then. Craig R answers the door when the date card is delivered and he is worried. Frank gets the one on one date and the rest of the guys--not including Justin and Ty get to go on the group date.
While Ali is on her date with Ty they have a great time. They have dinner and have a deep conversation. They talked about his marriage and some things shed light on the marriage ending front. He had a mother that stayed at home and his wife wanted to work which just didn't work in his mind. Ali isn't pleased with this, either. Ty then tells her that after that he learned that things can't always be the way he thinks they should be. She worries that he may be too traditional but he still gets a rose despite that due to him being honest with her.
The guys get to go on their group date and there is a clue that has Kirk's curiousity piqued. She tells them them why there was olive oil as a clue and it is because they are going to be traditional in regards to their location and that is when a bunch of half naked men come out to the arena. They are going to teach the guys how to wrestle in olive oil. She watches in horror and starts to regret that being the date. Despite that, she tells them that they are going to have to fight each other and whoever wins will have a one on one date with her. Craig R. beats Chris L. Roberto beats Kirk. Roberto and Craig R must fight and that is when Craig R enjoys the sweet taste of having defeated all of the guys.
The rest of the guys go home to their hotels and they aren't pleased having lost that one on one date. Frank expresses great pain over it and the usual jealous spout.
Craig R. and Ali are going on the date he has turned his charm on quite a bit. He tells her all of everything she had ever wanted to hear. Despite that, it didn't seem like there was much of a connection going on.
She and Frank go on their date and it seems like there had been no time between the first and the last. They try on clothes. They work together with ease and she feels like they are still as connected as they were in the beginning. While they are having their meals, Frank tells her that it's imperative that he is on his knees only once and he is nervous that she won't react the way that he would like her to. She says that she is scared due to the fact that there is no control on how the other person feels. He tells her he trusts her and having his heart in her care. She tells him that she is scared that he is going to break her heart but she gives him a rose despite that.
Finally, the time has come and that means it is cocktail time. Ty is already going to be safe and so is Frank but here were a couple of guys that didn't have much face time with her.
Ali tells the host that she doesn't need the hour because she has made her decisions when it comes to the guys. She has decided who needs to go home and the host tells them. They are shocked and then they go to see what is going on. Chris L, Roberto, and Kirk all receive roses. She tells him one on one that she didn't feel the romance between the two of them. He is sad because he was falling for her, but it just wasn't good enough for Ali.

Jail overcrowding puts inmates in tent
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
FARMINGTON, Mo. (AP) — One eastern Missouri jail is so overcrowded that authorities are using a huge tent to house weekend prisoners.
The Daily Journal (http://bit.ly/16wSU8j ) newspaper in Park Hills, Mo., reports that St. Francois County Sheriff Dan Bullock plans to use the tents again next weekend.
The 180-bed jail had a record 291 inmates on Saturday. The department used Homeland Security grant money to purchase the tent through Army Surplus. The tent sits on gravel in the jail's impound lot.
Inmates use a portable toilet. A homemade sink is set up for washing. A razor-wire fence surrounds the area, which is monitored through surveillance cameras. Jail workers make random checks on the outdoor inmates.

Cops, Glazed Munchkins, and Breastmilk... Oh My!Danielle
Here we go again! This week a New Jersey mother enjoying donuts, and coffee with a friend and their children had the police called on them for breastfeeding in public.
While there are several conflicting reports of the story, the mother involved shared her tale on the popular website for mothers Cafemom, a story which has since been removed.
In the post one of the two mothers involved in the newest breastfeeding controversy stated :
It finally happened. A friend and I were just told not to breastfeed in Dunkin Donuts because there are "other people there". I was going to leave and just write a letter to Dunkin Donuts headquarters suggesting that they educate their employees better. The police were called, though.
This mother also included that after they were told to leave because of breastfeeding in the coffee shop, they started to clean up the table they were sitting at and make their way out peacefully. Unfortunately not before the police confronted them and reportedly told them to "Shut up" in front of their young children.
Dunkin Donuts has posted this statement on their facebook page in regards to the incident :
We have looked into the matter concerning 2 moms at a DD store in NJ & have confirmed an employee was responding to another customer's complaint that wasn't related to breastfeeding. None of the DD employees challenged the guests about breastfeeding & all DDs must comply w/ local, state & federal laws w/ regard to nursing mothers. Our top priority is always to provide an excellent experience for our guests
The more publicity this story gets, the more accounts of events change. But not the accounts of the two mothers involved.
Some say one of the mothers changed a cloth diaper on the table of the establishment, as Sarah one of the women involved says she used her lap to change her small child because of the lack of proper changing table in the rest room of the coffee shop. But does any of this warrant a call to the police? Or are the employees who broke New Jersey state law trying to cover their own butts now that this has made national news?
As many other states in the U.S. New Jersey has a breastfeeding law on the books to help prevent mothers from incidents of this nature :
N.J. Rev. Stat. § 26:4B-4/5 (1997) entitles a mother to breastfeed her baby in any location of a place of public accommodation, resort or amusement wherein the mother is otherwise permitted. Failure to comply with the law may result in a fine.
While the families involved, and authorities in New Jersey sort this all out the Dunkin Donuts facebook page is booming with boycott and disgust from mothers.
Brooke Foster Smith said :
Hey DD ~ maybe you should brush up on some laws because FYI breastfeeding in public is NOT against the law and you CANNOT tell a mother that she cannot do it. Infants need to eat just like everyone else and they have the legal right to eat in public just like everyone else does.
And Beth Mitchell Huntsberry said :
No more Dunkin' Donuts for this family. Can't believe in 2010 we still have people dumb enough to call the police because a women dared feed her child in public.
Will you be sticking to your Dunkin Donuts consumption after this incident in New Jersey?
