Tour Champ Landis Failed Doping Test in Comeback
July 27, 2006 Tour de France champion Floyd Landis has tested positive for high levels of testosterone, according to a statement from his cycling team, Phonak. The test was reportedly conducted after Landis' comeback victory in the 17th stage. If the result is confirmed, Landis could lose his title.
American Landis Wins Tour de France
July 23, 2006 Floyd Landis won the Tour de France on Sunday, keeping cycling's most prestigious title in American hands for the eighth straight year. The 30-year-old Landis cruised to victory on the Champs-Elysees, a day after regaining the leader's yellow jersey and building an insurmountable lead in the final time trial.
Landis Wins Stage to Narrow 8-Minute Gap
July 20, 2006 Melissa Block talks with cyclist Floyd Landis, leader of the Phonak team at the Tour de France. Landis won Thursday's stage that ended in Morzine, France, a day after losing the leader's yellow jersey. But with a dominant win Thursday, Landis erased much of that gap, finishing 7:30 minutes ahead of the overall leader, Spain's Oscar Pereiro.
Landis Charges Back in the Tour de France
July 20, 2006 American cyclist Floyd Landis has won the 17th stage of the Tour de France. He broke away from an 11-man pack and propelled himself back into contention for the overall title. Just yesterday, Landis dropped out of the lead, falling more than 8 minutes behind Spain's Oscar Pereiro. That poor showing had cycling experts writing off Landis as a possible Tour champion. Landis will speak about today's remarkable comeback ride with NPR's Melissa Block later today.
Americans Snub a Lance-Less Tour de France
July 2, 2006 The Tour de France is under way, but after the retirement of Lance Armstrong last year, many Americans have lost interest in the legendary race. And new fees from the Tour itself mean fewer tourist dollars in French and American pockets.
'Total' Effort to Oust Cheaters, Tour Director Says
June 30, 2006 A doping scandal knocked Tour de France favorites Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso out of the race Friday and threw the world's most glamorous cycling event into chaos. The decision to bar riders implicated in a doping probe in Spain sends a strong signal that cheating will not be tolerated.
Doping Bans Set Tour de France Off Kilter
June 30, 2006 A doping scandal has rocked the Tour de France before the cyclists have begun peddling. Favorites Jan Ullrich and Ivan Basso are among a list of cyclists who have been banned from the competition, which starts Saturday. Ullrich won the race in 1997.

The 2xist Sliq Mesh No Show Trunk is made of fabric that looks similar to gym shorts, except this material is extra soft. All over mesh with an added layer in the pouch to keep things under wraps. Slim design makes it extra sexy so you'll get noticed in the locker room.

Tuesday, September 10, 2013 - Smaller Than Expected
This mesh material feels great, very smooth. The holes create a sexy texture that looks great wrapping around contours of the front and the backside (the front is double layered so its not as see thru as the backside, but you can still catch a glimpse if you look close enough). The piping around the legs is really stretchy and comfortable, smooth.1 of 1 thought this was helpful. Was this helpful? Sign in to vote.

Monday, September 09, 2013 - True To Size
I love the single layer mesh. It helps keep things cooled down. They fit snug, but without a lot of room in the pouch for the boys. This is partly due to the fact that the material doesn't give much. However, it keeps things in place all day no matter the activity. For what I wear these for, I am not complaining. Speaking of, the material dries fast. The pouch keep things held out front for the show offs. I fit in that category, so I am good to go. I bought a couple of pair to try, then went back and ordered 6 more.Was this helpful?

The Munster man broke a bone in his arm Down Under but has been working his way back to fitness with an eye on the upcoming autumn internationals.
And the former Ireland skipper admits that the chance to prolong his international career until the 2015 World Cup in England is a huge motivation for him.
"I'm out of contract this summer," he said.
"I'd like to play until the next World Cup, as a minimum, providing the body is right and it feels good at the moment.
"If I had to consider my options somewhere else I certainly would. It's a big regret of mine not having played abroad.
"I've lived in Limerick all my life and while I love it here, I would like to experience life abroad. I haven't started discussing my contract yet, so we'll see what happens.'

Filter Results |
Great Bundle but 160 MS Live points expiredPros: All games are fun Cons: The 160 MS live points that come with the bundle expired on 12/31/11. Other Thoughts: I contacted customer support regarding the expired 160 MS live points, but they never got back to me. Did you find this review helpful? |
Comes with EXPIRED MS points and XBOX live trialPros: The games are all very fun. I really enjoyed playing all the way through LIMBO and will do it again to try to get all of the badges. Trials does have a pit of a learning curve, as others have mentioned. Splosion Man is fun and kind of funny too. Cons: This is advertised as coming with codes for 160 MS Live points and a 2 month trial of XBOX live Gold. I ordered my copy January 2013 and the codes that it came with expired 12/31/11. I tried to put the codes in several times and it kept saying the codes were not valid. I thought I was putting them in wrong, but upon closer inspection, the codes had expired over a year ago. Other Thoughts: There is still value in getting these three games for less than $10, but I was fully expecting to get the product that was described. Maybe I was sent an old copy from the back of the warehouse shelf because some people who ordered the game after me are saying that they got the points and the GOLD trial. Have they checked to make sure they haven't expired? Did you find this review helpful? |
Free Microsoft Points and 24hr GoldPros: LIMBO is excellent, but don't cheat, or you will spoil it. It's a short game. I bought from New Egg and it also came with 120-180 Free Microsoft Points (Approx.) and a 24hr gold trial. Cons: Cons? There are none, really. Did you find this review helpful? |
AmazingPros: Limbo is simply incredible. The style and pace of play is unlike anything else out there. It's basically a well thought out puzzle game in a great package of sights and sounds. If this was only game you ever played it's worth the price. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
3 Great Games, 1Low PricePros: All three games are a blast, and you save a good deal of money buying them this way compared to individually over XBOX Live. Cons: None. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great Games / Great PricePros: Great Game / Great Price! Shipped quick (but slow Mail Service). Game also comes with code for 160 MS Points. I know it's not much, but it's the equivalent of $2 free!! The games are extremely addicting. Be prepared to lose a few hours of time..... Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Why NotPros: Great Value Cons: Better as DLC without disc Other Thoughts: Pickup it up for $10. At that price, this is a no brainer. Trials HD is worth it alone. Have not played the other games yet. Had this for a few months. Loaned it to friends, they loved it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice combo packPros: Limbo and Splosion Man are fun puzzle platformers Cons: Trials has a STEEP learning curve Other Thoughts: I wish Trials was more like Motocross Maniacs from the GB and more of a wild crazy racer rather than a technical skills challenge. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great ValuePros: Three great games for less than the price of one. Great value and playability. Cons: none Did you find this review helpful? |
Best price available anywherePros: You can't find even close to this price anywhere else. All three games are great if you like puzzle type games. Great for breaks from shooters!!! lol Cons: Shipping was far from fast... Left Newegg fast, but the Pony Express could have crossed the US in a quarter the time! 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Restless legs and iron deficiency in children
By Jennifer Nelson, M.S., R.D. and Katherine Zeratsky, R.D.
6 comments posted
My children were never what you might call good sleepers as babies. But for one of my sons, the sleep issues continued into his toddler years. However, his midnight visits weren't accompanied by the usual request, "Mommy, can I sleep with you?"
Instead, my son would come to me out of sorts after flopping around in bed like a fish out of water and complain, "Mommy, my body hurts."
So, began the long climb out of iron deficiency.
Iron deficiency is strongly associated with restless leg syndrome in children. And restless leg in children is often underdiagnosed, passed over as growing pains. Another risk factor is family history. Thinking back, yes, there were nights during my pregnancies that I jumped out of bed to ease my restless legs. Iron deficiency can also be a result of celiac and other diseases. Fortunately, that isn't the case for my son.
My toddler started an iron supplement and it helped him sleep. Although doctors and pharmacists alike warned me that I'd struggle to get him to take it, I didn't and still don't.
It's two years later and we are still supplementing. Between growth spurts and the fact that iron is a difficult nutrient to absorb, it's taking time to work up to the iron level that our son's doctor targeted for him.
My son eats meat and some vegetables, not foods that all toddlers like. He's a milk drinker but not excessively so and juice is minimal. Of course, we have the typical toddler feeding issues of eating well one day and not another. And meal planning is a bit more complicated since it involves pairing iron and vitamin C rich foods. But I've got that one covered and I consider us lucky.
To the health of our children,

To avoid altered measurements, wear an unpadded/lightly lined fitted bra.
Was our size chart useful?
To avoid altered measurements wear a fitted panty.
You have two options to choose the size of your panty
This thong's seamless construction eliminates show-through lines and will not ride-up like most thongs. It is like wearing nothing. You won't feel a thing even on the most demanding days.
it's very comfortable, no-show, I will buy lots of these!!!
Thongs with wide sides? Best thing in the world!! I haven't seen them anywhere else!!!
it's very comfortable it fits to my body very well
This boyshort panty styled instant butt lifter will naturally add inches to your glutes. Its special design and removable pads will maintain the beautiful shape of your buttocks, while enhancing it.

Aching knees right now that could be good -- is war at the markets and for consumers just moments ago the Los Angeles mayor announcing.
That union and management have agreed to federal mediation that is in its bid to end the strike.
At the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach that is according to a Reuters report -- a strike is entering its -- -- as local clerks union the union for them fights for jobs.
They say.
Are being threatened by technology in the future by the way the protests are causing -- near shut down.
A -- nations to busiest ports in nearly one billion dollars today and economic Janis joining us now is.
Of the Port of Long Beach and give your reaction to the news that we're hearing right now.
That the mayor is hard about federal mediation now.
Well I think that's really good news.
The obviously that the parties now for a long period of time haven't been able to.
To reach a conclusion.
Resolution of the problem and I think the -- now of the federal mediators are very very wise step.
I mean you aren't the man in the middle here you're sort of the man in charge of the ports as you're watching these two sides battle against each other on the one side.
You have the clerks union and it's depending on which reports you look at 6800 people who do a lot of clerical work.
At the ports and there were there worried that the future at their jobs are going to be outsourced to computers on the other hand.
You have millions of people small business -- is you know people that are trying to get their goods and get ready for the holiday season.
Frustrated by this I mean how do you balance everyone in this situation and what are you saying to these parties.
Well -- well that's exactly right what we're what we're trying to do as support.
We're we're maintaining a neutral position we simply want to get get the problems resolved between the two parties and get everybody back to work as you as you correctly say.
I mean this this.
Strike now has impacted thousands of people out of work.
Ripple effect will continue each day that the strike continues we'll have massive.
Economic effects.
All the way back to every literally every every corner of the country.
So it's extremely important how to get those parties back to the table get them talking you get this thing resolved.
We have right here in Long Beach we have another roughly thirty vessels.
Do we and we've got about 45 vessel sitting out -- -- -- right now it's a very serious issue.
Yeah I -- they -- sitting -- -- the two ports directly or indirectly support one point two million jobs in Southern California 40%.
Of the nation's imported cargo containers pass through these -- 40%.
So we are talking about you know six to 800 workers holding up.
So much commerce going on any kind of a longshoreman have also refused to cross the picket line in solidarity with their -- union -- their fellow union workers.
But this is a problem you know in not in the long run you know we're talking about jobs that could potentially be out of automated it does seem like about all.
That's tough to fight I mean if it's cheaper to automate these jobs what do you say to these workers.
Well I think that's the part that they have to really reconcile at that table.
We have support -- a little bit outside of -- -- -- we simply want the parties.
Due to get that resolution that they need and it's it's clearly it's a given a take it's gonna require compromise.
From the from the union side in this gonna take a little compromise from the from the employer's.
But simply this this this strike -- -- continue or did the economic effects of this that country of massive.
Yet you're focuses everybody get back to the table let's work this out so that we don't cause more economic hardship thank you so much for coming out we appreciate your time -- -- I'm there.

Today's driver release from NVIDIA, numbered 320.49 beta, comes in conjunction with the GeForce GTX 760 launch, adding support for the new card but also bringing a number of fixes for a series of issues reported with previews drivers. The release notes for the new drivers mention fixes addressing image corruption and artifacting for Eve Online: Retribution, Assassin's Creed III, Battlefield 3 and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. The drivers also add (or update) SLI support for a wide series of other titles, among which we find Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, Natural Selection 2, Trackmania 2: Canyon and GRID 2. For download please visit the following page. This is the launch driver for the newly released GeForce GTX 760. GeForce 320.49 drivers include several fixes for issues reported with 320.18 drivers. Refer to the release notes for a full list of fixed issues. Performance Boost – Increases performance by up to 20% for GeForce 400/500/600 series GPUs in several PC games vs. GeForce 314.22 WHQL-certified drivers. Results will vary depending on your GPU and system configuration. Here is one example of measured gains: GeForce GTX 660: Up to 20% in Dirt: Showdown Up to 18% in Tomb Raider Up to 10% in Metro: Last Light Up to 10% in Sleeping Dogs Up to 8% in StarCraft II Up to 6% in Sniper Elite V2 Up to 6% in Metro 2033 Up to 6% in Far Cry 3 Up to 6% in Deus Ex: Human Revolution Up to 5% in F1 2012 GeForce GTX 660 SLI: Up to 17% in Dirt: Showdown Up to 18% in Tomb Raider Up to 9% in Metro: Last Light Up to 9% in Assassin's Creed III Up to 7% in StarCraft II Up to 6% in Far Cry 3 Up to 6% in Deus Ex: Human Revolution Up to 6% in Battlefield 3 Up to 5% in BioShock: Infinite Up to 5% in F1 2012 SLI Technology Added SLI profile for Alien Fear Added SLI profile for Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Added SLI profile for Dead Island: Riptide Added SLI profile for Dragon Sword Added SLI profile for Neverwinter Added SLI profile for Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon Added SLI profile for GRID 2 Added SLI profile for Human Head 2 Added SLI profile for Remember Me Added SLI profile for The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct Updated SLI profile for Natural Selection 2 Updated SLI profile for Resident Evil 6 Updated SLI profile for Trackmania 2: Canyon
Apparently it fixes some artifacting an corruption, but performance is really bad. FPS is dropping a lot for most users reporting over at Nvidia Forums.
Thanks for the info... links? I didnt see much if any difference performance wise over the 320.18's...
https://forums.geforce.com/default/...ay-driver-feedback-thread-released-6-25-13-/1 WHQL is suppose to be out next week, but I sure as hell hope that either they get more fixes in by then, or they wait a few more weeks for WHQL or else its going to be another bug ridden WHQL release. The whole thing with the failure of the 320.18 drivers is that they rushed them out for the release of the GTX780, when they clearly weren't ready.
Has anyone tried these yet? I'm a little scared to upgrade from 314.22 because of the horror stories of some of the newer drivers causing cards to die. D:
320.18 was a horror story, these drivers are fine for me on the 780. Only issue I had with .18 was in LoL in 3v3's, everything seems to be working fine and dandy now, cant comment on any performance loss.
I back down to the 320.11 that came with my 780. No issues. Will wait for Nvidia to atleast release WHQL. Hopefully a few more improvements will come during that time.
I'll have to try these. Been on the 320.18s for awhile now and no issues. Seems it's mainly people with 6 and 7 series cards that are having issues.

Hi Bizy and Congratulations!!
Actually, you're better off with "fresh squeezed" here's why:
Processed Juices
Natural Juices made at home
- Bottle juice is pasteurized and the nutrients are depleted.
- Juices made from imported produce may carry traces of banned pesticides.
- Juices from fruit concentrates do not contain the whole fruits and they may be nothing more than sugar water -- possibly made with chemicals in water from industrial sites.
- Acids from juices can leech metal from cans, causing canned juice to spoil.
- Wax and other chemicals found in juice containers can taint the juice.
- Shrink-wrapped juice cartons come under high heat that depletes enzymes in juice.
Natural juices contain all the vitamins, minerals, fluids, enzymes, amino acids and chlorophyll (with no toxic additives) found in raw vegetables - thereby helping the body by:
Hope this helps!
- Promoting growth and development
- Assisting with digestion
- Providing energy
- Protecting against oxidation
- Renewing cells
- Enriching Blood

The mere presence of certain players on the pitch is inspirational to the other members of the team.
Phil has been one of those players.. Notwithstanding his 'blip' when he apparently dived, he deserves a cracking Goodison send-off.

In an age of iPads, smartphones, and minute-by-minute Facebook updates, does a visit to your doctor's office sometimes seem like a trip back in time? Does your doc scribble notes onto sheets of paper and then slide them into an ever-expanding folder that gets stored in a huge file case?
Although many doctors still keep notes in files, more and more patients are seeing laptops instead of clipboards in the exam room. Doctors and hospitals are turning to new health information technology, and while these changes won't happen overnight, they are coming.
Electronic health records (EHR) — also called electronic medical records (EMR) — help patients as well as health professionals. That's because they make it easier for you (and your parents, depending on your age) to see your health records.
An EHR is a computerized collection of a patient's health records. EHRs include information like your age, gender, ethnicity, health history, medications, allergies, immunization status, lab test results, hospital discharge instructions, and billing information.
Because electronic health records are digital, they can be shared easily among your various health care providers. So, for example, if you see a dermatologist and an asthma specialist in addition to your primary care doctor, all these doctors (and their nurses and other caregivers) will see the same records.
If one doctor orders a lab test, they all see the results. If one doctor puts you on a new medication, the others get to see what it is — which is good for you, because there's less chance of one doctor prescribing a medication that could adversely interact with another medication and cause problems.
Because EHRs improve how well your doctors talk to each other and coordinate your treatment, they can enhance your overall care. Here are some of the ways they can help:
No. A federal law called the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) specifies who is allowed to see your medical records.
So you shouldn't worry, for example, if your nosy neighbor happens to work in the same hospital where you receive treatment. HIPAA bars that person from snooping into your records. In fact, if Nosy Neighbor attempts to poke around in your classified information, it would likely trip an alarm within the hospital's computer system and start a trace on who tried to look at that information.
Part of HIPAA called the Security Rule lays out standards protecting the way electronic health records are stored or transferred. So if your doctor's office or hospital transmits health information electronically, they are required by law to have safeguards in place to limit access to only those who are permitted to see it.
Doctors encourage teens to get involved in making health care decisions, and understanding EHRs are a great way to do that. Looking at yours can help you get an idea of what's involved in managing your own medical care.
Some systems may even let you interact with your doctor or nurse online (providing a way to ask questions through the system, for example) and might even allow you to set up and manage appointments. If your doctor's office uses EMRs, ask how you can participate!

Louisiana Environmental Public Health Tracking Program
Environmental Epidemiology and Toxicology • Louisiana Environmental Public Health Tracking Program • History • Links • Pilot Projects • Publications • Success Stories |
A Partner of the National Environmental Public Health Tracking Program
The Louisiana Environmental Public Health Tracking Program (LEPHT) is a five year cooperative agreement that was funded by the United States Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop an environmental public health tracking network in Louisiana. The program fulfills the mandate of Louisiana Act 666 that required the state to develop an Environmental Health Surveillance System to track physical, chemical, biological, and social factors that may play a role in the development of chronic diseases affecting the citizens of Louisiana.
LEPHT Network (Entry to Data Portal): http://lepht.dhh.la.gov
The National EPHT and LEPHT provide tools to monitor health, exposure and environmental data and guide public health actions. Both the CDC and the LDHH are developing the tracking networks in response to calls for a better understanding of how the environment can affect people's health. These are web-based systems that will combine health and environmental data and will provide residents with information to address public health concerns, to educate the public about ways to protect themselves from diseases and chemicals of concern. Information that is collected for LEPHT will be included on the National Tracking Network that is being developed by the CDC and its other local and state health departments and universities who have received funds from the CDC to participate in this program. One of the benefits of tracking is that it will allow and encourage health care providers, state and local health departments and members of the general public to take control of their health.

Descriptive Summary
- Title: Julia Morgan–Walter T. Steilberg Collection, 1908-1974 (1918-1935 bulk)
- Collection Number: MS 144
- Creator: Steilberg, Walter T., 1886-1974
- Extent: 1 box
Biographical Note
Biographical Note
Walter T. Steilberg, noted California architect and engineer, was born on May 12, 1886, in Louisville, Kentucky. In 1890, his parents, Willie and Matilda, relocated the family to San Diego County, where they took up ranching.
As a young man, Steilberg worked briefly for architects Irving Gill and Myron Hunt. While studying for his architecture degree at UC Berkeley, Steilberg joined the practice of John Galen Howard as a drafter, participating in the design of Wheeler Hall, the UC Library, and the president's house. After graduation in 1910, Steilberg worked for Julia Morgan for a year, upon the advice of architect Arthur Brown. Steilberg rejoined Morgan's practice in 1918, and continued to consult for her through the 1930s, even after he left to start his own practice.
According to the biographical statement of the Environmental Design Archives at UC Berkeley, "Steilberg had just built a home for himself and his family on Panoramic Hill when the influenza pandemic of 1918 took his mother; his wife, Rowena — an artist who designed detailing for some of his projects — and his newborn daughter. 'Miss Morgan knew just what to do for me,' he told [architectural historian Sally] Woodbridge. 'She had me working about 16 hours a day.' Steilberg gave the home he had designed for himself and Rowena to her parents, then built another for himself nearby, where he lived with his second wife and raised a family. Panoramic Hill became Steilberg country, dotted with homes he built for clients and friends."
While working for Morgan, Steilberg directed the stone-by-stone dismantling of the Santa Maria de Ovila monastery, a thirteenth-century structure built by Cistercian monks on a hilltop, overlooking the Tagus River in Spain, about 90 miles northeast of Madrid. The monastery building was shipped to San Francisco, where Morgan and Hearst contemplated its use at Wyntoon. When the plans were dropped for lack of funds, Morgan convinced Hearst to give the stones to the city of San Francisco for a medieval museum to rival Manhattan's Cloisters. Morgan contributed additional plans and by 1941, the city had selected a site in Golden Gate Park. After a series of arson fires at the warehouses obliterated the markings on the stones, the city lost enthusiasm for the project. This last great collaboration between Morgan and Hearst was never realized.
According to a 2005 article in the San Francisco Chronicle, in the 1930s "Steilberg experimented with concrete houses, influenced by the destruction wrought by the Berkeley fire of 1923, and the Santa Barbara earthquake of 1925. The Depression also affected his thinking, grandson Jonathon Dwyer says. He also saw concrete houses as an economical way to provide housing for workers and, after World War II, for returning veterans and their growing families. Steilberg developed and patented a system he dubbed 'Fabricrete' that involved hollow concrete walls troweled onto steel mesh. When he couldn't get sufficient financing, he turned to a local building firm, Pacific Coast Aggregates, and designed structures using their large (3-foot-long) Berkeley Concrete Bricks. He also designed buildings using precast 4-by-8-foot concrete grids."
During World War II, Steilberg kept in touch with Julia Morgan when he relocated to Alaska to serve as an instructor for the Seabees. During the 1950s, he worked extensively in Saudi Arabia for Aramco.
Steilberg died at the age of 88 on December 6, 1974, succumbing to injuries after being struck by a car while walking near the UC Berkeley campus.

Scope and Content
Scope and Content Note
The Julia Morgan–Walter T. Steilberg Collection contains photographs and files relating to Julia Morgan commissions in the Bay Area, created by long-time staff member and engineer Walter T. Steilberg.
Project files and project photographs are arranged alphabetically by client name, followed by building type, city and date of construction. Cities listed on folder headings are located in California, unless noted otherwise.
Where possible, the provenance, or original organization, of the papers has been preserved. However, in order to simplify access to the collection for researchers, some materials in specific formats and topics were reorganized and refoldered to more accurately reflect their contents.
There are two series in the Julia Morgan–Walter T. Steilberg Collection:
- Personal Papers, including obituaries and Steilberg's photographs of buildings in California; and
- Professional Papers, including Steilberg's written and visual documentation of work for Julia Morgan.
The collection is housed in one box. Series 2 Professional Papers contains the most significant and unique portions of the collection, including both Steilberg's published and unpublished recollections of working in Julia Morgan's practice, as well as Steilberg's vintage photographs from the 1920s of various Morgan commissions soon after their completion.

:'( We'll see you later, bb. It's been fun
These past few days have been good...its only a matter of few months before he start his "Eclipse" promotion tour....I cant wait!
I was starting to think he had done the nearly impossible: got out of there unspotted. He looks so tired! He should be after the last few days. Glad he's going home, London suits him well :)
Bye bb. Miss ya already....but can't wait until March 12th!!
Thanks for all the memories the past few days!
Bye Bye BB
Awww. I miss him already. Guess I'll just have read and reread all of the posts and articles here on ROBsessed for a while. Safe trip, Rob.
can he look anymore adorable?? just the sight of him in a beanie and a bright yellow shirt with an american flag on it made me smile. and the tongue killed me.
Bless you! (Looks like he was sneezing!) LOL. And he looks tired, poor baby. Rest, then enjoy getting back to Bel Ami after all this craziness!
(Not that we don't enjoy the Roblicious craziness---cause we do!)
I think he looks tired and maybe a little sad in the eyes. I'm sure Kristen is on her way to LA if not already there preparing for the Oscars and now they have a long period of separation again. That has to be hard.
Byeeeee hunny. take care. love you... *MWUAAACH...*
I have that t-shirt from the Stone Steel Wheels tour!! Rob was only 3 years old then! Time sure flies!
Home to finish Bel Ami-I guess we'll see him back here for the Eclipse promotional tour??
:( Thanks for the warm smiles you've brought us. I'll miss you. I'm sure Kristen too, that's why she's got your shirt on. Poor Kristen, she must be devastated that you guys will be separated for a while. So long Rob. See you in June. loose the shirt. Careful of the beanies. They'll make u bald :)
Glad he has his pal to fly back to London with him. Wonder if his family is on this same flight, too.
Ouch why does he have that scratch on his neck? or it looks more like a line?
See you again soon! :(
(waving with tears in eyes)
So sad. they're apart now. awwww. makes me want to cry to her. i'd be soooo depressed.
funny how everyone thought that was kstew's bag that he was carrying for her. but no, it's his.
aww :( rob has left to UK again.. sad... i feel like if i was there at airport and he was a close friend of mine or even family, but the truth is he has never met me, hahahhaha.. still, sad to see him leave.. guess we'll see him back in june,,, is it june?!?!
i think he might have been kinda like sleeping in the car or against something coz half of his face is llike red and w marks.. ahaha ckeek and neck, haha love him :)
Wow, my heart hurts seeing him leave.
Well I guess we know who the gold
carry on belongs to!!
And you'll thought it belonged to
Kristen! I think that they are good friends! She seemed to like Tom better anyhow!!
Well, that was quick. Hope he´ll get a few days to rest before filming for Bel Ami continues.
Good to see Tom with him! I literally had to stare at his shoes for a few minutes and promised to myself that I would never ever complain about Robs again ;-)
New t-shirt? lol
I think all colors suit him very well.
I guess Rob's familly is already at the airport.
I noticed he entered the studio of The Daily Show with a different shirt on, and then left wearing that Yellow Stone Steel Wheels shirt ... maybe it was a gag gift from Jon Stewart since he was on an American Political show? That would be kinda funny.
Regardless, I'm glad he is getting home to London. It seems like he can hide out there and have more of a private life.
Safe travels to the Pretty!!
Yay! Glad he's on his way back to us. Though we've had sooo much to look at/drool over throughout the past few days... It's been short, but oh-so-sweet!
Thank you ladies for working so hard to keep us up to date this week, you've done a brilliant job!
Nice ur coming home so quick Rob!! That was a whirlwind!!! I thought that yukky yellow bag must have been Kristen's , obviously not! it's a bit dodgy!
I love it that Kristen was wearing Rob's shirt when she left NY... it's a little creepy but if she doesn't wash it immediately, she can smell Rob for a few more days :)
I notice the scratch on his neck too. Ouch!
Funny he colour coordinated his bag and t-shirt. Probably not intentional but still funny
Well done, Rob!
Awww...we'll miss you Rob. See you in June? Lots of great finger porn in these pics.

text: While I sit in the Albuquerque airport and look out at the Sandia Mountains, I reflect on my weekend trip to New Mexico. My husband and I made the trip for the Texas A&M game. Brent was working (covering the game for the San Antonio Express News)…while I was just along for the ride. We happened to be staying at the same hotel with the Aggie football team and A&M officials, so that was pretty neat. I enjoyed seeing Jorvorskie Lane and Stephen McGee as I stepped off the elevator. I also got to sit right behind Texas A&M President, Dr. Elsa Murano at the game. I couldn't believe she sat out in the heat all four quarters! If it were me, I would have been up in the president's suite. But not Dr. Murano. She's a true Aggie fan through and through. We all thought the game would be a little cooler being New Mexico and all. But it was hotter than blue blazin' out there. It was probably only about 90 degrees, but we were sitting in the direct sun and dressed for what we thought was New Mexico weather. Oh well, we were just glad the Aggies pulled out a win. On Sunday, we took the world's longest aerial tramway to the top of the Sandia Mountains. As we rose roughly two miles into the sky, I just hoped I wouldn't ruin the harmonious trip by getting sick. I have a bit of a weak stomach…ok, an extremely weak stomach! Once I realized I was going to make it, I took in the beautiful canyons and lush forests the mountain had to offer. After a bite to eat at the High Finance Restaurant (still haven't figured out that name yet) atop the mountain, we wandered around the Cibola National Forest. I would say, "hiked," but I wouldn't call walking around in flip-flops much of a hike, so I'll just stick with "wandered." It was absolutely breathtaking. If you're ever in that part of the country, I'd definitely recommend taking the tram. This was my first trip to New Mexico and I thought it was beautiful! The only thing I don't really dig about the state, are the digs. I'm not a big stucco kind of girl, and it seems like that's all they have there. I'm not really sure if it's to keep the look uniform, or if there's a practical reason behind the adobe walls. If you know the answer, please let me know in the comments section. Outta the desert…and back to Texas…and my little brick house. |

Neil Young grants rare and unprecedented access for this documentary in which he traces his musical journey in his own words. The film includes new interviews shot in New York and California and utilizes previously unseen performance footage from the star's own extensive archives. It also features cohorts Stephen Stills, Graham Nash, David Crosby, Nils Lofgren and James Taylor. From his first success with Buffalo Springfield to the bi-polar opposites of mega-stardom with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and the soulful rock of Crazy Horse, Young's career has enjoyed many guises. The film takes Young through his rise in the '60's, his solo artist period in the '70's, his '80's embrace of the New Wave, and it ends with Young still refusing to be denied, pursuing a more eclectic musical approach but also touring in the USA with Crosby Stills Nash & Young and teaming on occasion with Crazy Horse.

Compression Tools Compared
Data compression works so well that popular backup and networking tools have some built in. Linux offers more than a dozen compression tools to choose from, and most of them let you pick a compression level too. To find out which perform best, I benchmarked 87 combinations of tools and levels. Read this article to learn which compressor is a hundred times faster than the others and which ones compress the most.
The most popular data compression tool for Linux is gzip, which lets you choose a compression level from one to nine. One is fast, and nine compresses well. Choosing a good trade-off between speed and compression ratio becomes important when it takes hours to handle gigabytes of data. You can get a sense of what your choices are from the graph shown in Figure 1. The fastest choices are on the left, and the highest compressing ones are on the top. The best all-around performers are presented in the graph's upper left-hand corner.
But many other data compression tools are available to choose from in Linux. See the comprehensive compression and decompression benchmarks in Figures 2 and 3. As with gzip, the best performers are in the upper left-hand corner, but these charts' time axes are scaled logarithmically to accommodate huge differences in how fast they work.
The Benchmarks
How compactly data can be compressed depends on what type of data it is. Don't expect big performance increases from data that's already compressed, such as files in Ogg Vorbis, MP3 or JPEG format. On the other hand, I've seen data that allows performance increases of 1,000%!
All benchmarks in this article used the same 45MB of typical Linux data, containing:
24% ELF 32-bit LSB
15% ASCII C program
11% gzip compressed data
8% ASCII English text
7% binary package
4% directory
2% current ar archive
2% Texinfo source text
2% PostScript document text
2% Bourne shell script
2% ASCII text
21% various other data types
This data set was chosen because it is more representative of the demands made on today's Linux systems than the data used in the traditional Canterbury and Calgary test data, because this data set is bigger and contains Linux binaries.
I used the same lightly loaded AMD Athlon XP 1700+ CPU with 1GB of RAM and version 2.4.27-1-k7 of the Linux kernel for all tests. Unpredictable disk drive delays were minimized by pre-loading data into RAM. Elapsed times were measured in thousandths of a second. I'm not affiliated with any of the tools, and I strove to be objective and accurate.
The tools that tend to compress more and faster are singled out in the graphs shown in Figures 4 and 5. Use these for backups to disk drives. Remember, their time axes are scaled logarithmically. The red lines show the top-performing ones, and the green lines show the top performers that also can act as filters.
How to improve backups?
Hi. Congratulations for this very useful article... I use a script for backup made by myself which use tar +gzip... switching to tar - lsop backup time takes less than half time, increasing the backup size by about 25%.
An idea to improve speed is to replace tar with a more intelligent tool.
Infact, tar simply "cat all files to stdout" and then gzip or lsop compress this huge stream of data, but some data is already compressed (images, movies, open document files) and don't need to be recompressed!
The idea is to have an archiver (like tar) which compress each file by itself, storing the original file in case of images, movies, archives, already compressed files.
Is there any tool that can do this, and save all priviledges (owner, group, mode) associated to each file like tar does?
Thank you. Paolo

Very nice information provided.Thanks!!!
Excelent article.
Thanks very much for this article. I really enjoyed it, and will be helpfull for my daily work.
1. how about another part
how about another part with specific data - like 90+% text? for mysql dumps & dbmail scenarios etc.
and 45MB does not sound as sufficient test data size for rzip to test it's speed.
Compression on Windows
First of all excellent test!.
Believe it or not, but compression is one of those application types where all research takes place on Windows Pc's. The last couple of years there were some major breakthroughs in compression caused by the new PAQ context modeling algorithms. Have a look at this site for some results. Programs like gzip, rzip 7-zip and lzop are tested here too, so it should be easy to compare results.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Honoring Faith in the Public Square
Honoring Faith in the Public Square
During the past year, The Obama administration has been subjected to strenuous criticism for its perceived hostility, or at best cavalier indifference, to the cause of religious freedom in the United States.
First there was the Supreme Court's decision in the Hosanna-Tabor case. The Obama administration's lawyers sought to deny church-run schools a longstanding exemption from antidiscrimination laws, meant to safeguard religious schools' freedom to hire and fire employees according to their own faith-based criteria. The Court delivered a stinging and unanimous rebuke, reaffirming the exemption.
Then, more famously, came the still-simmering case of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) mandate requiring all employers, including church-run schools, hospitals, and charities, to provide their employees with health-insurance plans covering contraceptives, abortifacients, and sterilization procedures.
Religious leaders quickly realized that this requirement would necessitate the violation of core moral teachings, particularly for the Roman Catholic Church. Opposition was swift and unequivocal, taking the form of a remarkably ecumenical coalition. The often fractious Catholic bishops achieved an unprecedented degree of unity. They were joined soon enough by a broad array of evangelical leaders, such as the president of Wheaton College, as well as eminent figures from across the full spectrum of American religious communities: Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Sikhs, and so on. Everywhere the rallying cry was directed, not to the support of specific Catholic doctrines, but to the general defense of religious freedom.
Secular supporters of the administration seemed both annoyed and mystified by the protests. How, wondered Ed Kilgore, writing in Washington Monthly, did "religious freedom" ever come to mean "the right to have one's particular religious views explicitly reflected in public policy"? What gives Catholic bishops the right to "contend they should be able to operate a wide range of quasi-public services and also enjoy the use of public subsidies, while refusing to comply with laws and regulations that contradict their religious or moral teachings"? Were they not in fact seeking "a broad zone of immunity from laws they choose to regard as offensive"? Were they not seeking "special privileges"?
Notwithstanding the combative tone, these are important questions, which deserve a thoughtful and respectful response. Religious believers need to prepare themselves to hear such questions asked again and again in the years to come, and contemplate how they will answer them. For beneath the controversy about religious liberty is a deeper controversy about the nature and status of religion itself in the American legal and political order.
That controversy is nothing new, of course. It runs through much of American history, taking on different guises and embracing different antagonists and issues at different times. But it has achieved a unique importance and potency at this historical moment, when we are more intent than ever upon upholding the principle of neutrality in all things. What is so special about religion, that it should receive any "special privileges"? Why should we regard a church or other religious association differently than we regard any other social club or cultural organization? Why treat the rights and expressive liberties of religious adherents any differently than we would treat those of other individuals?

Well said, Jon Trott. I like the difference between "the religion of most Americans" and "the religion of Jesus Christ." But then, biblical Christianity is NOT the religion of most Americans, even if most Americans think it is. The true religion of most Americans is moralistic therapeutic individualistic civic monotheism.
Jon Trott
Jim Gustafson, I'm doubtful I'm the one who ought to try this, so here's just a nickel's worth (if I can muster that much) on your question in this comment thread's first post. Re replacing "Christian" with "Muslim" and then reconsidering the theme of the article.... yes, that's one reason why I can't sing harmony with the article's apparent conclusions. Freedom of Religion in America seems to me to be about allowing all religious faiths to express their faith, to exist as communities with common values, and to whatever degree they wish to be involved within the political process. The latter requires parameters that safeguard the public sphere from being controlled by any one religion (or irreligion). But our problem as Christians is how to give up being "the religion of most Americans" in favor of being "the religion of Jesus Christ." I think God would approve if we can pull it off.
J Thomas
Wayne, Isaiah didn't hate his people. The over-sensitivity to criticism of this generation is not of God, it is of this culture. Christians need to turn inward and start turning to God within their churches and communities. The secularist tentacles are deep set. We should not be afraid of pruning so that the tree can grow stronger rather than letting the dead branches kill the whole thing.
Pop Seal
We Christains need to move to a more aggressive level of PEACEFUL RESISTANCE to the secularist take over of the legal system. Our heritage is now slandered openly and our faith is savaged. Several years ago I wrote to the judge when i was called to JURY DUTY. it was a polite and nonpersonal pointing out of how we are already dismissed by SCOTUS rulings and therefore Christians have no place in a system that insults us at every turn. I was released from duty.........twice. I haven't received a notice in five years.
Wayne Froese
The only place where I am a leftist is at CT ;-). I don't expect entrenched bigotry to leave the church easily. Jim G, you are spot on. Should we therefore ban the Muslim from our society? Trick question! It is as much their society as ours. J Thomas,if you hate others so much, how can you minister to them? It sounds like you want to use the rod on us.
