SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. Twilight fell over the mountain camp as the group formed a circle to trade war stories: the nightmares of battle that wake them in their sleep. The fighting. The pain. The surgeries. And always, the sudden mood swings.
"Sometimes, we feel like we have to run away," Alex Cox says.
"The military's stupid!" Adam Briggs declares.
Alex, 13, and Adam, 12, have never been to war, but they are no strangers to the ravages it can inflict. Their fathers were injured in Iraq. Like 13 other boys and girls ages 7 to 14 at an unusual summer camp this week for children of injured troops, they are in a generation indelibly marked by war.
Nearly 19,000 U.S. children have had a parent injured in the military since Sept. 11, 2001, the Pentagon says. They are lucky compared with the 2,200 kids whose parents have been killed in Afghanistan or Iraq. But as the U.S. approaches its sixth year at war, the impact of battlefield injuries and frequent deployments on troops' families — not just the troops themselves — is increasingly clear.
"Wounded servicemembers have wounded family members," says Michelle Joyner of the National Military Family Association (NMFA), which runs the camp.
In some ways, the camp in the Cleveland National Forest — which includes 61 other kids whose parents are serving in the war — was like any summer camp: a place for kids to be kids. After arriving Saturday, the campers went swimming, climbed trees, rode horses, sang silly campfire songs and ate parflesnarfs, a gooey concoction of melted chocolate, marshmallows and popcorn.
But at this camp, there were shades of the military lifestyle. Cabin groups were named like military companies: Alpha, Bravo, Charley. On Monday, the kids went to a beach luau at nearby Camp Pendleton, where Marines let them climb into amphibious landing crafts and handle machine guns.
And each day, there was "quiet time," a chance to sit and talk about the problems each child is here to escape.
Unlike at school or at home, "kids don't have to explain themselves," says Joyner, whose group received permission from the children's parents for them to speak with a reporter. "They're with a group of their peers."
Camper Savannah Jacobs, 11, came to camp from the Marine base at Twentynine Palms, Calif. She says she is "sad" that her stepfather, Marine Sgt. Jose Ramirez, hasn't been able to ride a bicycle with her and her sister, Sierra, 9, since he was injured in a helicopter crash in Iraq last December.
However, Savannah says, talking with other campers about "stuff that happened to their dad makes me feel like I'm not alone, and the only one who's suffering."
Such sentiments come pouring out again and again: the war, through the eyes of children.
To a young child whose father loses an arm in combat, that means no more playing catch or tummy tickling, says Kent Deutsch, a Marine veteran who is a family therapist and one of three counselors at the camp. Deutsch says that when parents return from war injured or having "seen and done things that go against their inner being, the child gets a parent back who wasn't the parent who went away."
At a time when the Pentagon says as many as one in five returning servicemembers suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or other psychological problems, many of their children are struggling to grasp what happened to make their parent so different.
"What about the traumatic brain injury where before, daddy was really smart but now the 12-year-old has more intellectual functioning than dad?" says Kuuipo Ordway, a mental health therapist who works with military kids here. "How do you adjust to that? What's the long-term effect on a child?"
Children of servicemembers who have lost limbs, spent months in rehab and undergone repeated surgeries are prone to depression and feelings of being overwhelmed, Ordway says. "They've become caretakers. Before, they were the ones being taken care of."
Camper Chessa Lara, 14, says she "wasn't a nurse — technically" for her father, "but I was always there to make sure he was OK."
Army 1st Sgt. Peter Lara was shot in the jaw and shoulder in Iraq in 2005 and has undergone "a lot" of surgeries since then, Chessa says. He also suffers from PTSD.
Chessa, her sister Tauntiana, 13, and brother Julien, 11, arrived at camp in an RV with their parents and five dogs after a two-week drive from Fairbanks, Alaska. When camp ends today they'll move on — as so many other military families do each summer — to their next deployment, at Fort Jackson, S.C.
The constant moves have been hard on the family, but the children say their father's injury may have been harder. "Sometimes when he's in pain, he cries and stuff," Julien says through watery eyes.
Chessa says her father sobs for a buddy who died in the firefight in which he was wounded.
"I wasn't used to seeing him cry because he's a man. He always said dads shouldn't cry," says Chessa, struggling to hold back tears.
Still, she sees a silver lining.
"Now that he got injured, he says since God gave him a second chance, he wants to spend more time with us. He says he doesn't want to lose us," Chessa says, adding that her father's ordeal has made her "more responsible."
Program may expand next year
The camp for children of injured servicemembers is a pilot program that is part of the NMFA's network of camps for military kids. The group hopes to expand it next summer.
Dubbed Operation Purple — militaryspeak referring to all branches of the armed forces — the camps will host nearly 4,000 children of servicemembers at 34 sites in 26 states this summer. Camp is free, supported by private groups, including the Sierra Club and the Michael & Susan Dell Foundation.
Little research has been done on kids of injured servicemembers, Ordway says, adding that "we've got to figure out their needs."
Many military children have "anger issues" and stress over being separated from their parents, says camp director Gene Joiner, who has run Operation Purple camps in North Carolina since the program began in 2004. But the ones whose parents were hurt have additional pressures.
"The 'wounded children,' you can tell there's something more," Joiner says. "There's a gap with these kids on how to relate to each other. They stand off a little bit more."
Jennifer Allman of Spring Valley, Calif., says she has seen that in her children since their father, Army National Guard Staff Sgt. Corby Allman, suffered back injuries, partial vision and hearing loss and PTSD after his convoy was hit by an "improvised explosive device," or IED, in Iraq in 2004.
Brandon Allman, 12, is "distant," his mother says. Jacquelyn, 10, is angry and blames herself for her father's disability. At 7, Cheyanne appears, at least for now, just happy to have her daddy home.
"It's hard because they don't understand why he gets upset really quick with them or why he can literally forget a whole conversation in two minutes," Jennifer Allman says. "I wanted them to come to camp to be with other military kids, to get counseling and to know that they are not alone."
Brandon says his father's injuries mean "he has to relax all the time" and can't go out to play. Brandon says he now fixes his sisters' bicycles and reads the numbers off a credit card when his father uses it to buy things by phone, because his dad no longer can see the numbers.
Jacquelyn, who like Cheyanne came to camp with pink streaks in her hair, says their dad "gets stressed out more and gets headaches." She says when her brother gets frustrated with his father's condition, he yells a lot and sometimes locks himself in his room.
"There's usually a lot of crying by family members."
Children mimic parents
Patients with PTSD tend to be "hypervigilant, irritable and always looking for danger," Ordway says. She says initial studies of their children show that many "model" their behavior after their parent's and become more anxious, more depressed and less able to sleep. That can lead to shorter attention spans and behavior problems.
For some veterans who saw Iraqi or Afghan children die, it often is difficult to come home and face their young relatives.
"When he came back, he didn't seem right," camper Andrew Steinhoff, 12, says of his brother, Army Spec. Ryan Hice, 19, who returned to Fayetteville, N.C., from Afghanistan in April suffering from seizures that his mother, Therese, says are caused by anxiety.
"His attitude changed a lot," Andrew says. "His whole personality is just different."
Most painful of all, Andrew says, the big brother with whom he used to hang out now can be reluctant to be with him.
Andrew says their mother told him that "there was this kid who reminded (Ryan) of me, who died" in Afghanistan. Now, when Andrew tries to talk to Ryan, "He says, 'Not right now, Bug,' " says Andrew, using his brother's nickname for him.
In an interview, Ryan Hice says he has been diagnosed with PTSD, traumatic brain injury and seizures caused by anxiety. He says little about his time in Afghanistan but does allow that "they say you have a twin everywhere. Well, my brother had one over there." Hice says that when he first returned home, "I wasn't even able to look at my brother because of stuff that happened over in Afghanistan. … It's a work in progress. I'm now able to be in the same room with him, so that's a beginning."
Hice adds that "I know it's been hard" on his little brother. He hopes Andrew made friends at camp and that "maybe they can somewhat explain to him not to take it personal."
Therese Steinhoff says her younger son has become withdrawn and feels guilty.
"He thought he did something wrong, and he didn't," she says. She sent Andrew to camp because "he needs to be around others who are affected by this war."
Every kid at the camp has a military connection, but "the wounded kids don't want to talk about the military that much," says Katherine Joiner, 18, a counselor here.
Ordway says that as more camps for children of injured servicemembers are opened, they are likely to emphasize small group discussions to encourage kids to express their feelings.
At this camp, Alex Cox didn't need much encouragement to speak his mind.
One of five children of Navy hospital corpsman Robert Cox from nearby Oceanside — Alex's sister Holly, 11, and brother Nick, 14, also came to camp — Alex talked angrily about his dad's seven deployments and problems since his shoulder was torn up in a mortar attack in Iraq in 2004.
When Ordway asked what the children would want to tell their parents, Alex yelled, "Get over it, man!"
Alex's mother, Monica, herself a Navy veteran, says her children have suffered from "bad grades to stomach issues to anxiety and depression" because of their father's deployments and injury.
She says Holly has become "clingy," and Alex was suspended from school for hitting another student. Their father says Alex and Nick argue all the time.
"I've seen my share" of combat, says Robert Cox. But when it comes to his children, "It just tears you up. It's a tough deal for them."

text: Western New York Docs Get the Skinny on Fat Second Annual Symposium to Unveil Latest Research and Treatment for Obesity Monday, September 15, 2003 Tweet There is so much conflicting literature on the best ways to treat overweight and obesity that we must definitively present to healthcare professionals what the best research tells us. Atkins diet or South Beach diet? Strict diet and exercise or just exercise alone? Losing weight in today's culture is not only hard; it is confusing for patients and doctors alike. "The Obesity Epidemic: Current Findings and Practical Approaches" regional symposium hopes to curb the confusion and provide answers to questions that will better equip physicians and other healthcare professionals to effectively treat overweight and obese people. The symposium will be held Oct. 2 and 3 at the Holiday Inn Rochester Airport, and is open to physicians, dietitians, nurses and other healthcare professionals from throughout upstate New York. Last year, a similar symposium generated much interest, with close to 100 healthcare professionals from throughout Western New York in attendance. Whether a dieter chooses low-fat or no fat, "fat" remains packed on the waistlines of Americans at epidemic proportions. Across the country, 61 percent of adults and 15 percent of adolescents are considered overweight. Monroe County echoes these national statistics, with 35 percent of adults being overweight and 23 percent of adults being obese, according to a survey conducted in 2000/2001 by the Monroe County Health Department. Nellie Wixom, director of the University of Rochester School of Nursing's Nutrition/Weight Management Center, says the two-day symposium provides a unique opportunity for physicians, health professionals and community leaders to learn about the latest research findings and clinical approaches for successful weight loss among overweight and obese adults and children. The symposium will offer physicians new ways to evaluate obese patients to determine which treatment is best suited for a particular patient. "Right now, there is so much conflicting literature on the best ways to treat overweight and obese people that it is imperative that we definitively present to area healthcare professionals what the best research tells us," Wixom said. "As the risks of obesity and its related diseases such as diabetes and heart disease are further understood, all healthcare professionals will need to shift into a proactive approach in treating this epidemic by using family, community and environmental interventions." Faculty from the University of Rochester Schools of Nursing and Medicine & Dentistry, and several nationally prominent speakers will highlight successful methods for the identification, evaluation and treatment of obesity in adults and children, including useful behavior and physical activity strategies, and successful family interventions. The role that nutrition plays in obesity prevention and treatment will also be presented, including the emerging role dairy and calcium may play in weight management. "The Obesity Epidemic: Current Findings and Practical Approaches" is a collaborative effort between the University of Rochester School of Nursing Nutrition/Weight Management Center and the School of Medicine & Dentistry. It is supported by Project Believe, the Medical Center's Leadership Education in Adolescent Health program, and the American Dairy Association and Dairy Council, Inc. Brochures are available through the Nutrition/Weight Management Center at 585/275-1630. # # # Media Contact Germaine Reinhardt (585) 275-6517

Anyone done the Wet Test as described in the Gear section?
I am currently running in Mizuno Inspire (Stability shoe) but I am getting a pain in my left foot after 2 miles or so on the arch of my left foot, it starts as a burning pain round the arch but spreads to my whole underfoot - the right foot is fine. I am also getting twinges in my knee and hip.
This lead me to think maybe its the shoes - so I tried the Wet Test and it seems I have high arches - and the article on the site suggested I need cushioned shoes, the shoe finder recomends Wave Creation (well from the Mizuno range and I like Mizuno shoes). I have always worn stability shoes but am 50 now so perhaps my gait has changed. This is also the same leg I have previously had piriformis syndromr in
Do you think I can trust this test - anyone else bought shoes after doing this ?
OK I know I should have a video Gait Analysis but there are so expensive - Advanced Performance are good and free if you buy the shoes but thats a 200 mile trip for me
Any advice welcome
Yes, didn't work for me. The wet test suggested I was "neutral". Gait analysis showed I was high arched but a moderate overpronator.
It's a small world - Advance Performance is where I go. I think it's worth the 100 mile round trip.
Mr Bump
You could be right - well I know your right and will maybe have to go but 200 miles is a long drive. I live near Heathrow Airport so I may try to find somewhere nearer. But had one done at AP about 5 years ago and they were spot on with the shoes. I was wearing AAsics 2010 amd they put me in Mizuno Elixr

2015 Mercedes ML Spy Photos Tip Upcoming Refresh
AutoGuide.com's intrepid spy photographer just caught photos of Mercedes testing the 2015 ML-Class with a heavy camouflage bra hiding its refreshed front fascia.
The ML has been on the market for quite some time now and it's starting to look a little stale. The heavily camouflaged prototype is difficult to decipher, but it's a safe bet that the German company will rework the styling in order for the bulky SUV to fit in with its sexier siblings like the new GLA and CLA vehicles.
There's a significant cladding on the front end of the car so its a safe bet that this car will feature a revised front bumper and headlights. There's also a chance that the upcoming ML will feature a different looking hood and grille as well.
Fortunately, there's also a picture of the cabin. It's not a huge departure from the current model and the biggest change is hidden under a blanket. It isn't hard to see that Mercedes is hiding the floating LCD screen that is in the new CLA-Class.

WASHINGTON — A woman driving a black Infiniti with a young child inside tried to ram through a White House barricade Thursday, then led police on a chase toward the Capitol, where police shot and killed her, witnesses and officials said.
Tourists watched the shooting unfold on Constitution Avenue outside the Capitol as lawmakers inside debated how to end a government shutdown. Police quickly locked down the entire complex temporarily, and both houses of Congress went into recess.
Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Tex., who said he was briefed by the Homeland Security Department, said the woman was killed. Asked if she was armed, he replied: "I don't think she was. There was no return fire."
Police described it as an isolated event and saw no indications of terrorism.
The pursuit began when a car with Connecticut plates sped onto the driveway leading to the White House, over a set of lowered barricades. When she couldn't get through a second barrier, she spun the car in the opposite direction, flipping a Secret Service officer over the hood of the car as she sped away, said B.J. Campbell, a visiting tourist from Portland, Ore.
A fleet of police and Secret Service cars chased the Infiniti toward Capitol Hill. An amateur video shows the car circling a fountain in front of the Capitol. The driver slows down as police approach, and then speeds away.
"The car was trying to get away. But it was going over the median and over the curb," said Matthew Coursen, who was on his way to a legislative office building when the Infiniti sped by him. "The car got boxed in and that's when I saw an officer of some kind draw his weapon and fire shots into the car."
Coursen watched the shooting from his cab window.
"I thought to myself, 'The car is getting blocked in. The car is going to surrender,'" he said. "Now the cop has his weapon out. The car kept trying to get away. Then he fired shots."
Senate Sergeant at Arms Terrance Gainer said a child was taken from the car to a hospital but said he knew of no harm to the youngster. Tourist Edmund Ofori-Attah said the child appeared to be about 2 to 3 years old.
A police officer was injured in the traffic accident but Gainer said the injuries were not life threatening.
"We heard three, four, five pops," said Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., who was walking from the Capitol to an office building across the street. Police ordered Casey and nearby tourists to crouch behind a car for protection, then hustled everyone into the Capitol.
"There were multiple shots fired and the air was filled with gunpowder," said Berin Szoka, whose office at a technology think tank overlooks the shooting scene.
The shooting comes two weeks after a mentally disturbed employee terrorized the Navy Yard with a shotgun, leaving 13 people dead including the gunman.
Before the disruption, lawmakers had been trying to find common ground to end a government shutdown. The House had just finished approving legislation aimed at partly lifting the government shutdown by paying National Guard and Reserve members.
U.S. Capitol Police on the plaza around the Capitol said they were working without pay as the result of the shutdown.
AP writers Adam Goldman, Mark Sherman, Philip Elliott, Jesse Holland, David Espo, Alan Fram, Eric Tucker, Brett Zongker and Donna Cassata contributed to this report.

CS Ireland Conference
The weekend of 3rd – 5th October, saw an amazing 80 plus delegates to the 4th Christian Surfers Ireland Conference, held at Spanish Point, in County Clare. Christian Surfers Ireland is a mission's organization passionate about Surfing, and a relationship with Jesus.
Surfers, and those interested in surf ministry travelled from all corners of Ireland, to attend the event, from Portrush in the North, Cork in the South, Dublin in the East, to Lahinch in the West. The visiting speaker Phil Pechonis, a pastor originating from Florida spoke on the importance of using the gifts that God has given us, and a challenge to make a step up to go harder for God. The teaching was supplemented by updates of the work of Christian Surfers International, who are active in 24 countries, by Phil Williams head of Christian Surfers Europe. It was inspiring to hear about some of the amazing stories from around the world, of God using surf ministry. Worship was led by a great band from 'Open Arms', Newbridge.
The conference was titled 'Taking it to the next level', which for Christian Surfers Ireland at the moment is a very apt title, as their leader Steve Boal, and his life Leslie have just moved down to Lahinch (County Clare) in order to move into full ministry with Surfers, and hence take the missions activity to the next level.

You can walk in and know why i say not to eat here, dirty. but people that come to socialize here seem to love it
We were tired and hungry and pulled into this sort of hidden-away treasure in the hotel area of Kingsland. Had incredible raw oysters, delicious spring rolls and ordered the Friday Night Steak Special which was a juicy and tender steak served with perfectly cooked squash and veggie saute' and a nice baked potato. The price of $12.99 was the best...
I ate here a couple of years ago and it was delicious and the best seafood around. When I went back this last November, they had turned it more into a sports bar than a restaurant but they assured me the seafood was just the same. One minute after I got it I knew they were wrong. It was awful....
My husband and I moved to the area about 6 months ago and found this bar. Visiting this bar several times because we live streets away, We where always taken care of by the same staff member Nicholas! We tend to visit on Saturdays because its our only day "free".
The past two Saturdays we have been to the Bar...
This place is not your typical sports bar/restaurant. It is divided into two areas. The main bar is a separate area with a few small tables and some gambling machines. The area also allows smoking. The other area has tables to eat at , pool tables, and a juke box. The drink prices were good. The food was pretty good...
no seating, not even in the restaurant. Bar was sticky, scrunched up barstools. drinks were terrible. Bartender was nice tho. Crazy locals in the bar and lots of arguing. if you like to gamble theres some machines and keno but not worth it. We didnt eat there this time. however we did a few years ago and it was terrible....
Best bar in Kingland, some great people, particularly the staff, made us Brits very welcome for the few months we were there, some people are even talking about flying back!!
Not a fancy restaurant, but if you're staying in the hotel its a short walk and they serve beer. Overall, not bad bar food, so if you're expecting a gourmet meal then you're at the wrong place. Don't set your expectations too high because that's not what type of place this is. The server was very nice and pleasant to...
The name does not say it all as its now known as Outerbanks Sports Bar and Grill. Upon arriving at the restaurant, there was no one to seat you or even greet you. No sign to seat yourself or anything. I took a seat in the "No Choke" sitting area which has 2 pool tables and 7 big screen tvs....
This isn't the swankiest restaurant in the area, but the food was really good! Just a short walk from our Best Western hotel, this seems like mostly a bar\restaurant for locals. I had the fried seafood platter and it was as good as any seafood platter I've had anywhere.

Homemade laundry stain removers are often as effective as - if not more so - than the expensive store-bought remedies.
Ingredients needed for the 6 laundry pre-treaters below include ammonia, laundry detergent, dishwashing liquid, hydrogen peroxide, Fels Naphtha soap, and WD-40.
Give these 6 home remedies for stains on clothes a spin the next time you're faced with a really tough spill, splotch, or smear.
Ammonia is one of the best back-to-the-basics clothing stain removers.
One caveat here - don't mix ammonia with bleach or other cleaners. The fumes that result are toxic.
Use ammonia for blood stain removal, on grease stains, and on oil-based paint stains. Combine equal amount of household ammonia and turpentine, and apply it to the stain. Let sit for 8 hours before washing separately from other clothes.
An enzyme detergent stain remover helps remove protein-based stains, such as blood and chocolate. Add one teaspoon of enzyme detergent to one cup of water, and work the solution into the stained area. Let sit for 10- to 15 minutes, and then wash as usual.
Add one teaspoon of hand dish washing liquid to one cup of water. This stain treatment works wonders on grease stain removal, in much the same way dish washing liquid removes grease from dishes.
It causes the stain to separate from the surface it is attached to. From there, you can easily rinse the greasy stain away.
Three-percent, undiluted hydrogen peroxide is a great alternative to bleach - and at a fraction of the price. It's also safe for the environment.
Hydrogen peroxide works by breaking down into water and oxygen, and works well as an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-mold and anti-mildew cleaner. It's especially effective on blood stain removal.
To use, pour it directly on the stain. Use a toothbrush to gently work it into the fabric. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes, then toss into the washer as usual.
Fels Naptha Soap has been around for more than a century - and is still at the top of its stain treatment game when it comes to oily stains, as well as lipstick, perspiration, chocolate, and baby formula stains. Shave thin slices from a bar of Fels-Naptha soap. Add one part of shavings to ten parts of water. Work into a paste and apply directly onto stained area. Let sit for at least 10 minutes. Launder as usual.
WD-40, as you probably know, is most at home in garage-related jobs. Since its formulation as a water- and corrosion-preventer in the aerospace industry in 1953, however, WD-40 has been found to have many household uses as well - including as an effective stain treatment for clothes. It works well on grease stains, crayon, or lipstick stain removal. Use it full-strength, undiluted.
After treating stains with homemade laundry stain removers, always wash clothes in the hottest water safe for the fabric, using chlorine bleach or color-safe bleach and your favorite laundry detergent.
Visit the Clean Organized Home Store for the stain removal products and laundry supplies you need to keep your clothes looking their best.

Higher Repurpose
Nick Cave didnt decide to call his artworks Soundsuits until he climbed into one and started moving around. Then, the former Alvin Ailey dancer (no relation to the cult musician) liked what he heard: a swishy, ritualistic, twiggy noise. It sounded like that because he made this particular piece out of hundreds, maybe thousands, of twigs, which he painstakingly affixed to yards of fabric. And its not so much a suit of twigs as something you don for a pagan celebration in Norway. It does produce a nice sound, but its primarily a visual feast. So is every one of his Soundsuits, which span a dizzying array of styles, from Broadway costume, couture, and ritual garb to Saturday-morning cartoons, with a light dusting of LSD over everything. The materials, too, are fascinating: Everything is scavenged, found, repurposed from culture and nature both, from beads and bottle caps to leaves and hair. Its all over the top, but also impeccably finished.
The Nick Cave: Meet Me at the Center of the Earth traveling exhibit marks the largest collection of his works to date, with more than 50 towering creations strewn about the gallery space like a mad fashion house, with videos of the suits doing what they were meant to do: produce sound, which results from the materials rubbing together when their hosts dance.

Lance Armstrong may lose as much as $200 million in future earning potential, more than the wealth he accumulated in a championship cycling career now gutted by revelations of doping.
Two days after he was officially stripped of a record seven Tour de France titles, Armstrong faces demands that he repay up to $16 million in purses and bonuses from those victories.
Lost earnings potential far outpaces that, said sports marketing analysts. With a net worth estimated by Forbes at $125 million, the 41-year-old American would have had a prosperous future as an endorser and motivational speaker had the evidence gathered by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency not surfaced, according to Patrick Rishe, an economics professor at Webster University in St. Louis. Nike and his other sponsors deserted him after USADA's report.
"To think that he would be able to make $15 to $20 million annually over the next 10 years is not out of the question," Rishe said in a telephone interview Tuesday. "That puts his loss in potential future earnings at $150 million to $200 million."
The French cycling federation, which distributes Tour de France prize money on behalf of the race organizer, the Amaury Sport Organization, said Tuesday it plans to cooperate with the family-owned company to reclaim the $3.8 million (2.95 million euros) it estimates Armstrong won during his career. SCA Promotions, which insured bonuses Armstrong received for winning the race from 2002 through 2004, said two days ago it will seek almost $12 million.
Armstrong earned $17.5 million in endorsement and speaking fees in 2005, when he won his last Tour de France, Sports Illustrated reported. That number grew to $21 million in 2010, Forbes said. The revenue gain as his career declined is an indication that Armstrong, who survived cancer and started the Livestrong foundation that has pumped what it says is more than $470 million into helping others with the disease, would have remained a potent corporate spokesman and health advocate.
"But for these doping allegations, which now have been corroborated by USADA's report, he would have always been a cancer survivor and his story would have always been motivational and inspiring," Rishe said.
That career is in the past.
"I can't imagine anyone being able to make a positive out of a relationship with him at this point," Jim Andrews, senior vice president of content strategy at IEG, a sponsorship consultant, said in a telephone interview.
Pauline Juliard, a spokeswoman for the French cycling federation, said in a telephone interview that the group hadn't begun proceedings to try to recoup money paid to Armstrong. It would be the first time they have asked for money back from a rider, she said.
Armstrong sued SCA for failing to pay his $5 million 2004 bonus. The company settled the case, paying Armstrong that money and $2.5 million in interest and court costs. SCA will work quickly to try to regain almost $12 million from Armstrong, said Jeffrey Tillotson, an attorney for the company.
"If you have a claim, you want to pursue it as quickly and vigorously as possible, particularly if there may be other claimants," Tillotson said in a telephone interview.
Lwsuits could arise from either side, though they aren't very likely, analysts said.
Luxottica Group, whose Oakley brand was the last major sponsor to drop Armstrong, won't try to recoup money paid to the cyclist, said company spokeswoman Cheri Quigley.
"We are deeply saddened by the situation, especially given our longstanding relationship, but we feel it is best for all involved to move on and collectively spend our energy rebuilding the sport of cycling," Quigley, who declined to discuss financial details of Armstrong's contract, said in an e-mail.
That's the approach Armstrong's other former major sponsors probably will take, according to Paul Swinand, an equity analyst who covers Nike for Morningstar Inc. in Chicago. It's in Nike's best interest to focus on public perception by further distancing itself from the Texan instead of pursuing more action, said Swinand, who also covers Adidas, Under Armour and Luxottica.
"Whether you're Nike, Anheuser-Busch, Oakley, you want to have as little noise about this as possible," Swinand said in a telephone interview. "You don't want more scabs ripped off."
Nike ended contracts with quarterback Michael Vick following his conviction for crimes related to dog fighting and with sprinter Marion Jones after a doping confession. It maintained contracts with basketball player Kobe Bryant and golfer Tiger Woods following acknowledgments of adultery.
An e-mail to Tim Herman, Armstrong's attorney, seeking comment about the French cycling federation's plans, SCA and Armstrong's endorsement deals wasn't immediately returned.
Among Armstrong's other former sponsors, Nike spokeswoman Mary Remuzzi, RadioShack spokesman Eric Bruner and Mark Riedy, a spokesman for Easton Bell Sports which makes Giro helmets and gloves, said their companies had nothing further to add to previous statements ending relationships with Armstrong.
Phillip Cleveland, a spokesman for Anheuser-Busch InBev NV's Michelob Ultra beer; Eric Bjorling, a spokesman for Trek Bicycle Corp.; Carli LaForgia, a spokeswoman for FRS Co.; David Zimberoff, a spokesman for Sram International Corp.; and Len Zanni, marketing director of Honey Stinger, didn't respond to phone calls and e-mails seeking comment.
USADA released a 202-page summary of its investigation of Armstrong on Oct. 10, saying his cycling career was "fueled from start to finish by doping." Nike became the first sponsor to cut ties with Armstrong on Oct. 17, shortly after he stepped down as Livestrong's chairman, and the International Cycling Union said two days ago that it would not appeal USADA's findings.
Armstrong would have a difficult time seeking payment from the companies because of the breadth of the USADA evidence and because most endorsement deals have moral turpitude clauses that free sponsors if athletes break the law or negatively affect the sponsor's public image, according to Daniel Lazaroff, director of the Sports Law Institute at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles.
"Companies will want to get out of these high-paying contracts if the asset has lost its value," Lazaroff said in a telephone interview.
Lazaroff said he'd be surprised if Nike tried to get its money back from Armstrong "after all, he provided value for them."
Armstrong has sued those he felt lied or otherwise wronged him in the past, and he'll have to re-examine whether that's a sound strategy now, said Marc Mukasey, a partner with Bracewell & Giuliani's White Collar Criminal Defense and Special Investigations practice in New York.
"I imagine that the legal fees are going to cost him a pretty penny," Mukasey said in a telephone interview. "Virtually anybody who ever paid him anything, certainly with some sort of moral turpitude clause in it, is going to try to recoup. I would guess that he will be in contractual litigation for a long time."
Armstrong has denied ever doping and says he's never failed a drug test. Any acknowledgement of drug use now is complicated by the fact that in the original SCA dispute he testified under oath that he had never doped.
"To say under oath that you never used performance- enhancing drugs, that makes a subsequent admission and apology that much more difficult," said Mukasey, who has no involvement in Armstrong's legal representation. "From a legal perspective, once you box yourself in like that, you better be committed to that story or have a really good excuse as to why you were mistaken or delusional at the time you gave that answer."
While there remain people who believe Armstrong is innocent, it won't mean a return to sponsorships, said Paul Swangard, managing director of the Warsaw Sports Marketing Center at the University of Oregon.
"I see him as tainted goods," Swangard said last week in a telephone interview. "There are plenty of ways to reach your target consumer and Lance just isn't one of them anymore."

The Schoneville's were first introduced to the show world in 1980 when Rhoneen, the daughter of Isabel and Peter took their Irish Setter to dog training classes. The person who ran the class suggested that she show the setter because they felt it was a good representation of the breed.
Rhoneen talked her parents into taking her to a show and the family have never looked back since.
Isabel and Peter went on to show English Setters and later became respected breeders, producing a fine line of show champions.
Rhoneen has become interested in the dog world again since .... (click to read more)

Blues beaten away at Exeter City
Blues were unable to get back to winning ways in League 2 as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Exeter City at St James' Park.
Two goals from John O'Flynn, either side of a header from Scot Bennett, sealed a comfortable win for the home side - but it could all have been so different had the linesman judged Barry Corr's header to have gone over the line.
Unfortunately for Blues, he didn't, and having gone 1-0 down before half time, they were unable to find a route back into the game before two late goals sealed the win for the home side.
Paul Sturrock made one change from Tuesday's penalty win against Oxford in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy as Marc Laird came in to replace Anthony Straker.
The first opening fell the way of the home side. A poor kick from Paul Smith was played back over the top for O'Flynn to run onto, but his tame shot was held by Smith.
At the other end, Blues were putting some good passing moves together but unable to get a clear sighting of goal. Their best chance fell the way of Gavin Tomlin, but his shot was deflected behind for a corner.
The home side did have the ball in the back of the net midway through the first half, but the flag had been raised by the assistant referee on the far side for offside.
Blues were trying to get their passing game going, but were forced into a change just before the half-hour as Laird was replaced by David Martin due to injury.
Minutes later and Blues were within inches of going ahead Tomlin and Kevan Hurst linked up well down the right, and the former's cross was met by Barry Corr. The striker's downwards header bounced off the bar and was cleared by Bennett on the line.
Blues appealed, but the assistant referee was unmoved and play continued.
Michael Timlin had moved central following the injury to Laird, and it was he who had Blues' next chance. Hurst's corner wasn't cleared properly and Timlin, waiting on the edge of the box, fired just wide on the half-volley.
But having been on top, Blues fell behind in the 42nd minute. O'Flynn was played in down the right hand side of the penalty area and fired the ball low across Smith and in off the far post.
The home side began the second half on the front foot as Alan Gow went close, but fired just wide after beating two men.
Blues first chance of the half came with their best move of the game up to that point. Timlin switched the ball for Sean Clohessy to lay it off for Tomlin, but the striker's effort was cleared behind for a corner.
Exeter had certainly improved since the break, and almost doubled their lead with twenty minutes to go. Danny Coles' header though, when unmarked in the area, was straight at Smith.
Sturrock made his second change with twenty minutes to go as Elliot Benyon replaced Alex Woodyard. And the striker almost made a telling contribution immediately as he teed up Tomlin, but he fired over with his left foot.
But as Blues looked for a route back into the game, it was Exeter who found the back of the net to double their lead. Matt Oakley's deep corner found the head of Bennett who looped it back over Smith.
The Johnstone's Paint exploits seemed to have given Exeter the edge as the game wore on and it was 3-0 moments later. Excellent work from Jimmy Keohane put him through, but he unselfishly teed up O'Flynn for a tap-in.
Neil Harris came on to make his first appearance since September, but Blues were unable to grab a consolation goal. They must pick themselves up quickly now ahead of the trip to Brentford in the FA Cup.
Blues: Smith; Clohessy, Cresswell, Phillips, Barker; Laird (Martin 28), Timlin, Hurst, Woodyard (Benyon 70); Corr (Harris 89), Tomlin, Subs not used: Leonard, Bentley, Prosser, Straker.

Time passes quickly around christmas but work continues on the Rising Empires AI and I'm proud to say that the first version is completed. I've run a number of simulations to test it's features and abilities and summarized it in this article: http://www.risingempires.com/netherlords/?p=430.
So far I've only been checking some global statistics when I've been running my simulations in order to see how it changes as I optimise the different sub-AIs performance. When I start to run simulations for the next version of the AI which will be capable of attacking and defending itself I'll need to check the performance of the individual AIs as well. Note that these simulations is done to test and optimise sub-AIs and I've yet to come to optimising the strategic AI. This will first be done when there is plenty of more actions that it can perform.
Posted 08 February 2013 - 01:43 AM
Before christmas I told you I would write an article on my AI class and I finally got around to actually doing it yesterday. The article goes through the AI class but more importantly we take a closer look the AI.update method, the method that runs the AI process, and in which order all sub-AIs and advisors are processed.
This is important as, for example, the scout AI generates information that later is needed by other sub-AIs. The article can be found here:
I've also 'completed' how the AI attack other empires cities and towns and is now trying to make the AI able to react to attacks as well. If it sees an enemy army coming it must be able to rush some armies to defend it or in the worst case mount a counter attack to retake the city. This is fun to do but also rather complex. When a city is captured we must create a dedicated garrison army for it. Might sound easy but I must go back and change the code for how settlement AIs and the planner work with garrisons as the best choice it to split off a part of the conquest army to create the garrison, not create an objective with the task of building a new army and sending it to the captured city (which gonna take a long time).
I hope you'll have a good weekend!

We've now uploaded the first beta build of Rising Empires on Google Play:
The AI is now halfway to it's fourth version and can do plenty of different actions. It has not been trained yet which mean that it has trouble selecting the best action every time (= it's quite dumb ). Anyway, if you are interesting of giving it a try we value all opinions about the AI and GUI and all else.

She's done it again. Paris has released a new single and it's wonderfully awful in a terribly brilliant way.
Just the other day we were remarking how the vacuous heiress, famed for not much except going out with boys, splitting up with them and buying very expensive clothes / animals, had been off our radar for a bit.
Well, she couldn't have made a bigger comeback than this.
This is her genius new single Drunk Text and features Paris talking over an electro house track saying classic lines such as: "If you take the word 'sex' and mix it with 'texting,' it's called 'sexting'.
See, amazing.
"When you add drunk sexting, the words just don't make sense. It's a hot mess of misspelled obscenities, body parts and run/on questions. I'm not sure what he means to ask.
"Behind my eyes, I was begging for things my lips would never ask and my mouth kept pouring desperate clauses of random intent."
We LOVE how the lyrics attempt to get all intelligent and wordy right at the end… about sexting.
Paris reckons she's working on her new album with Snoop Dog and LMFAO and we can totally see why they'd want to – she's awesome.
While we're talking about Paris' stupendous musical talents, it would be a crime not to remind ourselves of her last hit Stars Are Blind, which we're not ashamed to admit we do genuinely love.
You will now have this stuck in your head for the rest of the day.
