London's Manon: Diva and Divo Deliver
The Royal Opera's intriguingly staged Manon had all the trappings of success including a soprano at the top of her game, and a tenor on the brink of his fame.
After the horrors of Jagoš Marković's production of Le Nozze di Figaro in Belgrade, I was apprehensive lest Nabucco in Serbia's second city of Novi Sad on 27th October would be transplanted from 6th century BC Babylon to post-Saddam Hussein Tikrit or some bombed-out kibbutz in Beersheba.
First Toronto, then Houston and now San Francisco, the third stop of a new production of Puccini's La bohème by Canadian born, British nurtured theater director John Caird.
Every once in a while Los Angeles Opera presents an important recital in the three thousand seat Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.
This third revival of Laurent Pelly's production of Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore needed a bit of a pep up to get moving but once it had been given a shot of 'medicinal' tincture things spiced up nicely.
Founded in 1996, Samling describes itself as a charity which 'inspires musical excellence in young people'.
The good news is that you don't have to go all the way to Pesaro for great Rossini.
Maître à danser: William Christie and Les Arts Florissants at the Barbican, London, presented a defining moment in Rameau performance practice, choreographed with a team of dancers.
The most memorable thing (and definitely not in a good way) about this performance of Le Nozze di Figaro at the Serbian National Theatre in Belgrade was the self-serving, infantile, offensive and just plain wrong production by celebrated Serbian theatre director Jagoš Marković.
Should looks matter when casting the role of the iconic temptress for HD simulcast?
Maurice Greene (1696-1755) had a highly successful musical career. Organist of St. Paul's Cathedral, a position to which he was elected when he was just 22 years-old, he later became organist of the Chapel Royal, Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge and, from 1735, Master of the King's Music.
Yet another Tosca is hardly exciting news, if news at all. The current five performances have come just two years after SFO alternated divas Angela Gheorghiu and Patricia Racette in the title role.
What an enjoyable opportunity to encounter Dvořák's sixth opera, Šelma Sedlák¸or The Cunning Peasant!
Whether biblical parable or mythological moralising, it's all the same really: human hubris, humility, sacrifice and redemption.
Opera Rara brought a rare performance of Donizetti's first opera for the Paris Opera to the Royal Festival Hall on 4 November 2014, following recording sessions for the opera.
Bass baritone, Luca Pisaroni, known to opera lovers throughout the world for his excellence in Mozart roles, offered San Diego vocal aficionados a double treat on October 28th: his mellifluous voice, and a recital of German songs.
Jonathan Miller's production of La bohème for ENO, shared with Cincinnati Opera, sits uneasily, at least as revived by Natascha Metherell, between comedy and tragedy.
Any Florian Boesch and Malcolm Martineau performance is superb, but this Wigmore Hall recital surprised, too. Boesch's Schubert is wonderful, but this time, it was his Liszt and Strauss songs which stood out. This year at the Wigmore Hall, we've heard a lot of Liszt and a lot of Richard Strauss everywhere, establishing high standards, but this was special.
The weather was auspicious for Wexford Festival Opera's first-night firework display — mild, clear and calm. But, as the rainbow rockets exploded over the River Slaney, even bigger bangs were being made down at the quayside.
The cast of supporting roles was especially strong in the company's new production of Mozart's matchless masterpiece
The company uncorks its 40th Anniversary season with a visually and musically satisfying production of Johann Strauss Jr.'s farcical operetta
The Royal Opera's intriguingly staged Manon had all the trappings of success including a soprano at the top of her game, and a tenor on the brink of his fame.
For his world class account of the Chevalier, young Vittorio Grigolo was lavished with the sort of reception being afforded to World Cup soccer goals these days. And what's more, he kept on scoring and scoring and scoring and scoring all night. My fine impression of Mr. Grigolo in Zurich's Il Corsaro did not in any way prepare me for his ability to totally immerse himself in such a thrilling, impassioned performance. From his first two acts of unforced boyish, puppy dog sincerity through his maturation and final extra-musical cry of despair over his beloved's corpse, there was no detail of the character's conflicts that he did not beautifully, effortlessly encompass.
He also showed that his lovely lyric voice could fill a larger house like Covent Garden. While I still would hope that he carefully consider spending too much vocal capital on the bigger outbursts, there is no denying that they were exciting. Vittorio seems to have a very secure technique, good vocal health, and an uncanny sense of how to use his gifts to good musical ends. His sotto voce effects were wonderfully calibrated and had us leaning forward in our seats to catch every nuance. And he is movie star handsome, a PR director's dream. The rowdy approval from the discerning London public is a good indicator that Mr. G's musical future is assured. Indeed, he made a pretty damn good case for calling the piece Des Grieux.
Vittorio Grigolo as Chevalier Des Grieux and Anna Netrebko as Manon Lescaut
But it is, in fact, named for its heroine and here we were equally fortunate to have superstar Anna Netrebko as Manon. That she puts the 'G' in Glamor, and that her well known soprano is one of the most sleek and lustrous in the lirico-spinto Fach goes without saying. Ms. Netrebko is occasionally less acclaimed for her dramatic conviction and specificity. Not so here, for her multi-faceted embodiment of this complex woman, and the sustained arc of the character's journey are easily the best performance I have ever experienced from Anna. And her French was notably improved (nay, 'good'!) from the 'Frussian' she was intoning (albeit beautifully) on Vienna's recent Carmen telecast.
She was utterly believable as the unforced, eager, impressionable young girl who stumbled into Act I, and she grew from that foundation with strength and conviction. Moreover, she and her leading man had an infectious chemistry that must have communicated to the last row of seats in the amphitheatre and several blocks beyond. Her singing showed off all the usual strengths: soaring top notes, even production, especially good legato, heartfelt coloring. She does miss a pitch by a hair here and there, mostly at the end of phrases in the lower middle, but this is as unpredictable and curious as it is infrequent. The celebrated exponent of the role, Beverly Sills often joked that the heroine is 'the French Isolde.' And so it is, requiring vocal stamina, style from girlish charm to fated desperation, and un-ebbing star quality to carry the long-ish evening. Ms. Netrebko's fame and marketability may precede her, but she has emphatically delivered on her promise with this immensely satisfying portrayal.
Russell Braun was a vigorous, swaggering Lescaut, and although he deployed his pleasing baritone securely (and with excellent diction) I felt his hectoring might be tempered with a bit of restraint. As the Count des Grieux, Christof Fishesser had noble bearing and his rich bass made the most of every phrase. Christoph Mortagne's Guillot was unusually fine, characterized by wit and vivacity, cleanly sung, and cliche-free. It was a pleasure to encounter the wonderful baritone William Shimmel again, this time as a solidly voiced Brétigny. I don't always pay much attention to the trio of coquettes (who I usually find as interchangeable as the Pointer Sisters), but on this occasion we were treated to distinctive performances by Louise Innes (Rosette), and two Jette Parker Young Artists: Kai Rüütel (Rosette) and especially the very promising Simona Mihai (Pousette). These three young ladies made vibrant contributions all evening, and particularly brightened the Casino scene.
Kai Rüütel as Rosette and Simona Mihai as Poussette
The gifted director Laurent Pelly deployed his usual arsenal of theatrical inventions and infused this Manon with more humor than usual,. This strategy paid off huge dividends when we got to the contrasting devastating emotional moments. Mr. Pelly is reliably a master of character development, resulting in every person on the stage (including choristers) being at all times engaged, committed to the moment, and buoyed by sub-text. His staging made excellent use of the various playing spaces, and it was executed to a fare-thee-well by the lively cast. I loved the men in tails, side-stepping across stage during the gavotte, like Fred Astaire's group-courting their Ginger.
I was less taken with the look of the sets, although pleased overall with their functionality. Even when they seemingly doomed the action to unavoidably repetitive movement patterns, Laurent found a way to turn the limitations to an advantage. Never off-putting and well constructed, designer Chantal Thomas relied on spare-looking, angular lines for the most part. Amiens' square was a white box of an affair with a long staircase to the top level surmounted by miniature boxy, shuttered and roofed 'houses.' Not much about it to convey the feel of the Belle Epoque. In fact, the look was quite at odds with the style of the aural goings-on. The director borrowed a staging trick from Birgit Nilsson who, approaching a high note that would scare normal sopranos motionless, would nail it and then run across the stage while holding it perfectly. On the last long held note of their duet, this Love Couple ran up the entire length of the stairs to escape off the upper platform, never faltering vocally. Ah, youth!
Act II was among the best overall settings of the night, with the garret perched atop a configuration of metal roofs on the stage floor, reached by an 'L' of a staircase broken by a landing. This was a very fine environment indeed for the plot's requirements, which put Lescaut and the Chevalier in the room behind a closed door, with Manon and Brétigny on the lower level of the landing. Adieu, notre petite table is very effectively stage with the soprano opening the door to see the table in the far corner just as she begins, entering the room as she continues, and with meaningful moves gets back out the door to close it again with finality on 'Adieu.' This could be a Masters Class in staging an aria.
Russell Braun as Lescaut and Anna Netrebko as Manon Lescaut
The cement ramps of the Cours-La-Reine scene had little visual appeal, but were redeemed by lovely globed street lights and a pastel backdrop that included a hazy tease of a Ferris wheel. The design knockout of the night was arguably Anna's dazzling — there is no other word for it — dazzling fur-trimmed pink gown. Indeed, the colorful, eye-pleasing costumes that Mr. Pelly designed with an assist from Jean-Jacques Delmotte saved the day as far as visual delights. Lionel Hoche devised rather predictable choreography for the ballet, well-performed by eight-count-'em-eight white tu-tu'd ballerinas (ballerini?). The girls seemed to be having much more fun squealing and being pursued by the tipsy, horny revelers at scene's end.
With the St. Sulpice scene, designer and director devised the most completely realized bit of Massenet all evening. Rows of wooden chairs find the congregation of women facing the altar off left, that is when they are not rubber-necking to catch a glimpse of that hot young Father Vittorio lurking behind them. Down right, hidden by a divider is the seminarian's bed and simple study. By the time Manon enters in a white satin gown and methodically lures him to his fate, we are back to horizontal mode faster than you can say N'est-ce plus ma main. She lustily tears open the top of his cassock baring his torso, and the two of them fumble their way through foreplay in (*gasp*) church, before the curtain falls not a moment too soon! Not since Sherrill Milnes tore open his robe in the Met Thais have so many binocs been raised in hasty unison. If there is ever a sexier opera scene than this, it will end up on X-Tube. (The moody, apt lighting design is courtesy of Joël Adam.)
As we then see-sawed our way scenically back to the angled platforms, the skewed perspective, the flat uni-set color (this time dark green) of the Hôtel de Transylvanie with its gambling tables that rolled on and off from the wings, I wondered if I was missing some sort of intentional alternating design pattern, one all blunt angles, one more realistic. Save one fun effect of wheeling on a table with Guillot seated on the end of it, the scene was competent but colorless (always excepting the attire). This was compensated for in large measure by the final scene, a beautiful, golden-beige open space flanked by receding bannisters on either side suggesting a desolate beach or quay more than the road to Le Havre. The street lamps on stage right recall the happier events of the Cours-la-Reine. It is with this final encounter that Pelly delivers his most heartfelt work with an inevitability about the final pairing and sinking and kissing and expiring that I will number among the tenderest extended moments ever communicated on an opera stage. Goose bumps. Tears. All the buttons were pushed. Bravi, tutti.
In the pit, Antonio Pappano's conducting at first seemed dry, with a prelude of precision but not much joy. Maestro Pappano is a no fuss, no muss guy, and after a quick acknowledgment of the audience, he plunges right into the proceedings. And I mean, right in. Maybe allowing just a moment for the orchestra to focus on his face rather than his back would prep them a bit more for the bubbling opening bars. This was quickly remedied, and in short order everything was percolating along in festive Gallic fashion, but when the same music opened Act III, there was a noticeable difference in the style and elan from this fine group of musicians. Throughout the night, Pappano displayed total command, and accommodated and supported his well-rehearsed cast of singers.

ELBURN—The doors of communication are beginning to open between the church that owns the parking lot on the corner of Main and Shannon streets in downtown Elburn, and the business owners whose patrons park in that lot, thanks to the intermediary efforts of the village. Village Administrator Erin Willrett and a representative from the Elburn Chamber of Commerce, acting as mediators, will attend this week's church council meeting and find out if a one month extension is acceptable to the church.
The church decided to sell the lot due to the financial burden of its upkeep, and recently announced that it would close the lot to public parking on March 15. Downtown business owners, fearing a loss of business if customers did not have convenient parking, approached the village for help in working out a compromise.
Willrett volunteered to approach the church and see what could be done.
"We were the first to approach the church, and we're hopeful something can be worked out." she said.
According to Willrett, following the news of the business owners' concerns, two separate parties have expressed interest in purchasing the property, listed at $225,000—one interested in it for a parking lot and one for development.
In the meantime, in an effort to provide downtown parking, the village has ordered signs to point the way to the village lot on the southwest corner of North and First streets.

I love this addon, it's immensely helpfull in locating unknown recipes and for planning my rep grinds on all my characters.
There is one small issue though, there is missing recipes. I'm unsure yet how many but I know of at least 2 enchant recipes missing from the scan listings. The rep recipes for August Celestials only list one recipe, but there are 3. Which leads me to believe there may also be other recipes from other proffs missing as well. I haven't yet researched what is/isn't missing yet, and as I don't have WoD yet I can't comment on those recipes.
Outside of that, I absolutely love this addon.

Created by IBM scientists and Libelium engineers to ease application development, testing, and scalability of wireless sensor networks (WSN), the new Internet of Things Starter Kit integrates Libelium's Waspmote wireless sensor platform with IBM's Mote Runner software and 6LoWPAN, which allows every single sensor and device to connect directly to the Internet using the new IPv6 protocol.
IBM Mote Runner is an open software development platform that connects sensor and actuator motes within wireless sensor networks based on the IETF 6LoWPAN protocol specification. With the new Internet of Things Starter Kit, a real-time operating system is integrated in Libelium Waspmote nodes to support more that 60 different sensors available "off the shelf," allowing developers to easily build any application on top. The Internet of Things SDK also includes the source code of the 6LoWPAN libraries so that researchers can modify and add their own algorithms and improvements.
"We have worked closely with IBM to offer a development platform that can be used for both simulation and real IPv6 sensor connectivity," said David Gascón, CTO at Libelium. "This platform is a powerful tool for improving and testing 6LoWPAN capabilities in the context of wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things."
"If we can harvest the Big Data insights from all of the things connected to the Internet we can more precisely understand how our world actually works," said Thorsten Kramp, a computer scientist at IBM Research. "By making Internet of Things application development easier, finding answers to the grand challenges of our age becomes more feasible."
The Waspmote Mote Runner Developer Kit is available today at:
On October 24, David Gascón of Libelium will present a session on the value of open source hardware platforms at the TSensors (Trillion Sensors) Summit at Stanford University. http://www.tsensorssummit.org
About the Technology
The development environment of IBM Mote Runner comprises a complete tool chain to develop applications in high-level object-oriented languages such as Java and C#, providing support for source-level debugging and network simulations to ease application development and testing. Its web-based deployment and monitoring framework, in concert with edge and backend servers, make IBM Mote Runner an end-to-end-solution for the development, deployment, integration and visualization of wireless embedded applications. As from now, IBM Mote Runner further provides a 6LoWPAN protocol implementation for IPv6 connectivity.
A key feature of the Waspmote platform is its remarkable energy efficiency, crucial to wireless sensor networks: Waspmote counts with a sleep mode of 65uA allowing years of battery life. Other features include refinements to the hardware platform and a set of more than 60 ready-to-use sensors and actuators for a broad set of applications. Waspmote's modular approach to radio technology allows the choice of any of the six radio protocols available—including Wi-Fi, ZigBee, 802.15.4, Bluetooth, NFC, 3G—or to switch between any two of these technologies if needed.
About Libelium
Libelium is a wireless sensor network platform provider that delivers, open-source, low-power consumption devices that are easy to program and implement for Smart Cities solutions and a wide range of M2M and sensor projects.
All of Libelium's products are modular, horizontal and easy to integrate into third-party systems. Because of its innovative hardware integration design and horizontal approach, Libelium's Waspmote—the company's open-source wireless sensor platform—has the potential to be the standard, universal platform for the Internet of Things.

The security devil is always in the details of the attack: the ones you've endured, the ones you prepare yourself to fend off, and the ones that, you fear, will catch you completely unaware and defenseless. The Internet of Things (IoT) is nothing if not an endless proliferation of details. It's the vision of a world in which continuous Internet connectivity and addressability is embedded into a growing range of human artifacts, into the natural world, and even into our smartphones, appliances, and physical persons.

Lucerne, Switzer...
This dress is inspired by the girl on my tin bank!
I based this on the burdastyle pattern "5/2011 Dress with wide pockets", but made it smaller to fit me (their smallest size is 36…), changed the pleats a bit, shortened the sleeves and skirt, lowered the neckline and added handy, in-seam pockets! With a special holder for my iphone and a keychain attached to the pocket :)

Freezing rain ices Salt Lake City roads, runways
A rare freezing rain caused major havoc in Salt Lake City Thursday, creating sheets of ice on roads, sidewalks and airport runways.
Associated Press
A rare freezing rain caused major havoc in Salt Lake City Thursday, creating sheets of ice on roads, sidewalks and airport runways.
The Salt Lake City International Airport was closed for about three hours, delaying hundreds of passengers. The closure came after a Frontier Airlines plane landing from Denver slid on a patch of ice while on the runway. Nobody was injured.
Morning commutes were brought to a crawl by the icy conditions, which caused dozens of accidents that closed lanes. Utah Highway Patrol called in off-duty officers to deal with all the accidents.
In downtown Salt Lake City and at the University of Utah, people walked gingerly to avoid falling on the ice. At the university library, frozen pipe burst led to a temporarily evacuation.
Freezing rain is uncommon in Salt Lake City. Thursday marked just the 10th time there's been measurable frozen rain at the airport since 1940, said Monica Traphagan, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Salt Lake City.
The amount of freezing rain at the airport is the most since Dec. 31, 1983, Traphagan said. The effect is caused by precipitation that begins as rain in the warmer upper atmosphere but freezes when it hits the valley floor that is below freezing, she said. The inversion effect - which causes the Salt Lake City metro area to have some of the country's unhealthiest air during the winter - keeps cold air trapped in the valley.
The forecast doesn't call for any more problematic freezing rain in the coming days, Traphagan said - just regular rain and snow.
At the Salt Lake City International Airport - a hub for Delta Air Lines - numerous flights were cancelled and many others delayed though exact figures were unavailable.
The first of three runways was reopened at about 12:45 p.m. and the other two were opened in the mid-afternoon and early evening, airport spokeswoman Barbara Gann said. Delays were still expected through the night.
The Frontier plane landed safely at about 9:30 a.m. and slid on a patch of ice while turning to the taxiway, Frontier Airlines spokeswoman Kate O'Malley said. None of the 139 passengers on the flight from Denver was injured and the airplane never left the pavement, she said.
It's unknown how many airlines have been affected. Delta Air Lines and seven other airlines run flights there. The airport is located five miles northwest of downtown Salt Lake City. The airport has two terminals, five concourses and 83 gates.
There were 188 crashes reported in the Salt Lake City metro area Thursday, said Cpt. Todd Johnson of the Utah Highway Patrol. Nine of those were slide-offs.
"That's an enormous amount of crashes to be investigating," Johnson said.
Twenty-seven people were hurt - including three highway troopers - but none suffered major injuries. The freezing rain conditions are very rare in northern Utah, Johnson said.
"In my 22 years on the road, I can't remember anything like this," he said.
At the University of Utah, a frozen pipe burst in the library forcing a 45-minute evacuation, university spokesman Keith Sterling said. The pipe burst in an employee staff area, causing carpet damage. No books were damaged, he said.

The Fix: Soccer and Organized Crime
If it's happening in soccer, where else is it occurring?
Author Declan Hill takes the reader on an unlikely journey into the minds and pockets of gamblers more than willing and able to fix soccer games the world over. While I myself have never been much of a soccer fan, just being a sports fan makes this a must read. Hill's proof of the fixes makes the reader wonder what else in the sporting world has been fixed? It brings into question the validity of all sporting events because Hill doesn't cover "just" soccer games, but Olympic and World Cup games as well - which one would think are "untouchable." But that's not so, and the proof is in these pages.Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.

The Dark Side of the Beautiful Game
"The Fix" is an exceptional reading that opens your eyes to reality of any professional sport in any country in the World. The book is well organized, very easy to read, extremely insightful, and keeps you interested cover to cover. The author provides significant proof and detailed description of how match fixing is done, how people (players, referees, officials, gamblers...) are involved and certain results are achieved. The book is a real eye opener for those who believe that soccer is "pure and clean" sport without outside influence. Sadly enough FIFA, knowing that the problem of match fixing exists, does not apply any actions toward investigating the exisitng and even growing threat in sport corruption. It's very simple - too much money involved; TV contracts; sponsors; stadium tickets.... And this books shows it all! "The Fix" is a must read for any fan of Beautiful Game or a fan of any professional sport, since the concepts are the same. Yes, it's possible that you will not look at the sport the same way as before, and that you might be sceptical about some matches and team performances. I am. Bit, I still love soccer. And i still love watching it! The book opened my eyes on the sports corruption since i had no idea it was on a such a huge scale. Most of us know that these problems exist in South America and that some World Cup matches were fixed and certain teams were "guided" to the play-offs and even Finals, but the problems in Asia and Europe were new to me. I strongly recommend this book to all sports fans - read it, you'll be shocked by revelations!Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback.

"The Fix": lifting the veil
Mr. Hill presents the reader with an extremely well researched piece of investigative journalism. Through insightful interviewing of key "fixers", by going under cover and successfully infiltrating betting spheres of influence, and buttressed by a sound background in the statistical analysis of game results, the author presents us with a troubling reality; one that intuitively we probably knew was there all along, but somehow refused to face. Where there is money involved, power and corruption will follow. And, where there are piles of money...Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.
As a boy following my heroes in the professional sports world, I never once considered the possibility that the players were not giving it their all in order to win each and every match. (Just as my mates and I were doing in our own little ways.) But as age, experience, and presumeably wisdom increases, we come to see the world through less veiled eyes. Mr.Hill's work helps lift this veil and shows to us that as in all activities where power and money are paramount, corruption finds fertile ground. After reading "The Fix" one cannot help but view all professional sports with a slightly more sceptical eye.
Mr.Hill's book ends on a hopeful note calling for a more heightened and vigilant surveillance of this creeping malevolence by the authorities (FIFA) who are apparently charged with this responsibility.
All in all, this book was a thoroughly stimulating and provocative read.

Tony Martin wins Tour 9th stage, Tony Gallopin takes yellow jersey
The trek from Gerardmer to Mulhouse featured six uphill treks that posed German Tony Martin little problem, even though he is not a reputed climber. Tony Gallopin of France did enough to erase his deficit of more than three minutes to Vincenzo Nibali of Italy and now leads him by 1:34.
The Associated Press
MULHOUSE, France — German rider Tony Martin showed he has climbing skills to go with his speed by easily winning the hilly ninth stage of the Tour de France on Sunday, while Frenchman Tony Gallopin took the yellow jersey from Vincenzo Nibali of Italy.
The 29-year-old German, a three-time world time-trial champion, broke away with specialist climber Alessandro De Marchi of Italy and eventually won by nearly three minutes.
"The objective was to win the stage. There was a chance to do it and I felt good, my legs felt good," Martin said. "I knew it would be one of my rare chances to win a stage."
The 170-kilometer (105.4-mile) trek from Gerardmer to Mulhouse — in the midsize Vosges mountain range near the German border — featured six mostly moderate uphill treks that posed Martin little problem, even though he is not a reputed climber.
"When the stage started to climb I realized I was stronger and started to attack and then things went well," he said. "We're close to Germany, and that was an extra incentive."
Martin clocked a winning time of 4 hours, 10 minutes. Swiss rider Fabian Cancellara was second and Belgian rider Greg Van Avermaet was third — both 2 minutes, 45 seconds adrift in the chasing pack.
It was a good day for France with Gallopin set to defend the yellow jersey on Monday — Bastille Day.
Gallopin, 26, did enough to erase his deficit of more than three minutes to Nibali and leads him by 1:34.
"It's with great pride that I will ride on the national holiday day in the yellow jersey," Gallopin said.
The last Frenchman to wear the yellow jersey was Thomas Voeckler in 2011. He also wore it in 2004 — the year disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong won the sixth of seven Tour wins, before later being stripped of all of his titles for doping.
Two-time champion Alberto Contador finished safely in the main pack along with Nibali — both were nearly eight minutes adrift of Martin — and is 4:08 back down in ninth place overall.
They will resume their contest in the toughest stage so far — Monday's 161.5-kilometer (100-mile) trek from Mulhouse to La Planche des Belles Filles that features three step Category 1 climbs — before a rest day Tuesday.
"We'll have to decide whether or not we try to attack or ride defensively," Contador said. "It was a tough day."

It was used as an issue to attract votes and get power and influence to rule over 1.21 crore people.They succeded in getting power.No body prevent for ram mandir but they have no other place all over the planet other than babri masjid place to make mandir. It is a matter of aastha (not proven by strong fact)for hindus regarding birthplace. People of other aastha dont agree with this version. So they can make any number of temples anywhere in the world(except disputed lands)and no body have objection.Answered by samir med, 05 Apr 12:19 pm
BJP could not build Ram Temple because Bajpayeejee was the PM n he was 100 secular. Besides,Ram temple has lost its relevance now,BJP will not include the same in its manifesto,as it may create national n international opposition.Answered by Damodar Biswal, 05 Apr 12:16 pm

ARLINGTON — Interest in Alex Rios picked up Wednesday, the final full day before the trade deadline, but no team had presented the Texas Rangers with an offer attractive enough to consider dealing the right fielder.Rangers officials were expecting to receive better offers later Wednesday and ahead of the 3 p.m. Thursday non-waiver deadline. As of first pitch, though, they had been underwhelmed. Interest in left-hander Neal Cotts had waned.Rios has limited no-trade protection, and the New York Yankees are among the teams on that list. He can also block trades to Arizona, Colorado, Houston, Kansas City and Oakland.His preference is to stay with the Rangers and have them pick up the club option for 2015. He also knows that Thursday doesnt necessarily signal the end of trade season, as twice he has been dealt during the waiver period.Above all else, Rios knows the business end of baseball.You have to see that part of it, he said. You have to understand the situation. It is what it is, and whatever happens, happens.The Rangers have already made two trades this month, receiving pitching prospects for sending right-hander Jason Frasor to Kansas City on July 16 and Joakim Soria to Detroit on July 23.Soto runsCatcher Geovany Soto ran the bases for the first time since going on the disabled list last week with a strained right groin, and he expects to head out on a medical rehabilitation assignment Friday at Triple A Round Rock.Soto had been back from knee surgery for only three games before the groin injury while trying to score from second base July 21 at Yankee Stadium.I thought it was going to feel a little achy, but it didnt, Soto said. Ive felt better every day.Robinson Chirinos and Chris Gimenez have handled the catching duties in Sotos absence.Dropping the ballManager Ron Washington continues to be baffled by the communication issues that have haunted the Rangers outfield, including a missed fly ball that bounced off Leonys Martins head in Tuesdays loss.Washington said he watched in disbelief as Martin nearly collided with right fielder Alex Rios, who was, as Washington called it, camped under the ball. Instead, Rios lost sight of the ball when he realized Martin was closing in on him from center field.As the center fielder, Washington said, its Martins job to know where his fellow outfielders are, especially on a fly ball.Same message weve been trying to give to him: Look where youre going, be aware of your surroundings. You are in charge, but you cant catch balls other people are camped under, he said.Im not going to bash Martin. Its about learning. Thats all I want him to do is learn. [But he needs to] change something between him and his outfielders out there to make sure this stops.Martin said that he didnt hear Rios calling for the ball. Replays showed Rios yelling for the fly.He thought he was going to get nailed; he caught Leonys out of the corner of his eye, Washington said. All it is is looking where youre going and seeing where the people are. Its just that simple. You cant run blind. Its about awareness.
