LG Optimus 2X & NVIDIA Tegra 2 Review: The First Dual-Core Smartphoneby Brian Klug & Anand Lal Shimpi on February 7, 2011 3:53 AM EST
- Posted in
- Smartphones
- Tegra 2
- Optimus 2X
- Mobile
Battery Life
There's been a lot of speculation about whether dual-core phones would be battery hogs or not. Turns out that voltage scaling does win, and P=V^2/R does indeed apply here. The 2X delivers middle of the road 3G and WiFi web browsing battery life numbers, and above average 3G talk time numbers.
We've also got another new test. Gaming battery life under constant load is a use scenario we haven't really been able to measure in the past, but are now able to. Our BaseMark GUI benchmark includes a battery test which runs the composition feature test endlessly, simultaneously taxing the CPU and GPU. It's an aggressive test that nearly emulates constant 3D gaming. For this test we leave WiFi and cellular interfaces enabled, bluetooth off, and display brightness at 50%.
I'm a bit disappointed we don't have more numbers to compare to, but the 2X does come out on top in this category. Anand and I both tested the Galaxy S devices we have kicking around (an Epic 4G and Fascinate), but both continually locked up, crashed, or displayed graphical corruption while running the test. Our constant 3D gaming test looks like a winner for sifting out platform instability.
The 2X is somewhat of a dichotomy. On one side, you've got moderately aesthetically pleasing hardware, class-leading performance from Tegra 2 that doesn't sacrifice battery life at the stake, and a bunch of notable and useful extras like HDMI mirroring. On the other, you've got some serious experience-killing instability issues (which need to be fixed by launch), a relatively mundane baseband launching at a time when we're on the cusp of 4G, and perhaps most notably a host of even better-specced Tegra 2 based smartphones with more RAM, better screens, and 4G slated to arrive very soon.
It's really frustrating for me to have to make all those qualifications before talking about how much I like the 2X, because the 2X is without a doubt the best Android phone I've used to date. Android is finally fast enough that for a lot of the tasks I care about (especially web browsing) it's appreciably faster than the iPhone 4. At the same time, battery doesn't take a gigantic hit, and the IPS display is awesome. The software instability issues (which are admittedly pre-launch bugs) are the only thing holding me back from using it 24/7. How the 2X fares when Gingerbread gets ported to it will also make a huge difference, one we're going to cover when that time comes.
The other part of the story is Tegra 2.
Google clearly chose NVIDIA's Tegra 2 as the Honeycomb platform of choice for a reason. It is a well executed piece of hardware that beat both Qualcomm and TI's dual-core solutions to market. The original Tegra was severely underpowered in the CPU department, which NVIDIA promptly fixed with Tegra 2. The pair of Cortex A9s in the AP20H make it the fastest general purpose SoC in an Android phone today.
NVIDIA's GeForce ULV performance also looks pretty good. In GLBenchmark 2.0 NVIDIA manages to hold a 20% performance advantage over the PowerVR SGX 540, our previous king of the hill.
Power efficiency also appears to be competitive both in our GPU and general use battery life tests. Our initial concern about Tegra 2 battery life was unnecessary.
It's the rest of the Tegra 2 SoC that we're not completely sure about. Video encode quality on the LG Optimus 2X isn't very good, and despite NVIDIA's beefy ISP we're only able to capture stills at 6 fps with the camera is set to a 2MP resolution. NVIDIA tells us that the Tegra 2 SoC is fully capable of a faster capture rate for stills and that LG simply chose 2MP as its burst mode resolution. For comparison, other phones with burst modes capture at either 1 MP or VGA. That said, unfortunately for NVIDIA, a significant technological advantage is almost meaningless if no one takes advantage of it. It'll be interesting to see if the other Tegra 2 phones coming will enable full resolution burst capture.
Then there's the forthcoming competition. TI's OMAP 4 will add the missing MPE to the Cortex A9s and feed them via a wider memory bus. Qualcomm's QSD8660 will retain its NEON performance advantages and perhaps make up for its architectural deficits with a higher clock speed, at least initially. Let's not forget that the QSD8660 will bring a new GPU core to the table as well (Adreno 220).
Tegra 2 is a great first step for NVIDIA, however the competition is not only experienced but also well equipped. It will be months before we can truly crown an overall winner, and then another year before we get to do this all over again with Qualcomm's MSM8960 and TI's OMAP 5. How well NVIDIA executes Tegra 3 and 4 will determine how strong of a competitor it will be in the SoC space.
Between the performance we're seeing and the design wins (both announced and rumored) NVIDIA is off to a great start. I will say that I'm pleasantly surprised.

Exophase - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkThanks Anand.
I'm surprised to hear that shot was from IMG, given that it was an IMG employee who made the comment originally about Tegra's 16-bit banding being evident on it, from the screenshot. Whoops. I do wonder what could be causing this, then.
Nonetheless, while that definitely makes my 16bit color claim invalid the depth buffer one should still hold. We might need to wait and see how much of a difference this actually makes, or rather how effective nVidia's 16-bit depth space is.
I'm glad to hear that you're as concerned about benchmarks on Android as I am. It's especially frustrating when I see people using them to try to indicate Atom being substantially better clock for clock than Cortex-A9. Reply
Exophase - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkManaged to miss this:
"The test ramps from around 3k vertices to 15k vertices per frame, and 190k to 250k triangles per frame"
That line doesn't make any sense. How would you have hundreds of times more triangles than vertices? You must have meant something else. Reply
sid1712 - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkGreat review as usual but i'm disappointed about the lack of details on the Sound Quality of the phone. A comparison of the sound quality (via headphone jack) alongside the iPhone 4 and the Galaxy S (with Voodoo kernel preferrably) would give a good idea about the SQ of the phone. Reply
ScentedKandle - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkRelated to this, the audio codec lists "lossless" but doesn't mention what format. Can the audio chip natively decode FLAC? Reply
teldar - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkThe order of buttons if the same as my droid x. Reply
Pjotr - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkDoes it really record 1920x1088? Does this unorthodox resolution play well on TVs, if you put it on a USB stick, for example? Reply
Brian Klug - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkIt plays back from the phone properly, and most of the playback software just does a crop. A ton of devices actually produce 1088 and don't make note of it, it should playback fine.
-Brian Reply
unmesh - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkFor active aka switching transistor power consumption, C*V^2*f (C is capacitance and f is frequency) is a better proxy than V^2/R.
The conclusion that operating voltage has a huge effect remains the same. Reply
Kevin098 - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkHey, can you make a video comparison between the iphone 4 retina display and Optimus 2x ? Reply
StormyParis - Monday, February 07, 2011 - linkPages and pages of (apparently not very acurate, too) perf data, and not even one line on sound quality, which is one of my key buying points for a phone.
No info on whether I'll be able to stream PC-resolution videos off my server to my bed over wifi.
Overall, not a very useful review. More like a dick size contest. Reply

Report to guv, Legislature: FAMU finances fixed
The task force formed last year in response to lawmakers' concerns over financial mismanagement at FAMU has ended its work -- concluding in a report to the governor, Senate president and House speaker that Florida's only public historically black institution has taken steps to deal with most of the problems identified in past state audits.
"President Ammons and his administration have been persistent and aggressive in putting corrective measures in place," said task force chair Lynn Pappas, a member of the Board of Governors. "FAMU has laid the foundation to restore financial operational integrity and public trust."
The FAMU Task Force's final report will be released next week. The group got $1-million in state money for its work, but finished on time and under budget. So the remaining $250,000 goes back to the state.

Civil war
Feud among Democratic leaders keeping taking its toll on state
Untitled Document House Speaker Michael Madigan told a firefighters' group last week that he, Gov. Rod Blagojevich, and Senate President Emil Jones are engaged in a "civil war" and that "no prisoners" are being taken. This isn't a unique insight. The fight between Madigan and the Blagojevich-Jones alliance started long ago and has been vicious, mean, and hurtful to many innocent bystanders. It resulted in an 11-month session last year, along with numerous lawsuits, special sessions, and hordes of unresolved issues. It's unusual for a politician to state things publicly in such a stark manner, so when he does you can easily get the idea that the situation is even worse than you thought. If that's the case, we're in for some true nastiness. Madigan went through a long list of complaints for the firefighters. The speaker is still hugely upset over the broken state budget deal last year. Not since the legislative leaders began negotiating the state budget behind closed doors has the deal been broken as it was last year, when Jones refused to override the governor's surprise veto of projects for Madigan's members after promising Madigan to his face that he would override all vetoes. You may recall that the governor's administration also fired the wife of Madigan's chief of staff; dumped a Madigan ally as a lobbyist for the Illinois Finance Authority because he was "too close" to the speaker; brutally slashed the budget for the Illinois Arts Council, which is chaired by Madigan's wife; and bused in protesters who booed Madigan during his annual speech at the state fair last summer, among plenty of other things. Despite all this, the governor's staff seemed taken aback by Madigan's remarks last week. Madigan's bold words gave the governor a preview of what may be in store: lots more trouble. Last week Madigan expanded the playing field to include House Republicans, who had been going along with much of his agenda. Madigan, who is also the state Democratic Party chairman, has become convinced that House Republican Leader Tom Cross is somehow in cahoots with Blagojevich, and he took some extreme action last week to punish Cross for his perceived disloyalty. On Monday, Madigan unveiled a Democratic candidate against state Rep. Angelo "Skip" Saviano, an influential Republican legislator from Elmwood Park. Saviano has been a friend and ally of Madigan's for years, but the speaker apparently thought he had strayed too far toward the governor's position. The move against Saviano stunned the Statehouse, which was probably the point. Then Madigan pushed two very anti-Republican bills to the fore. One would reestablish straight party voting in Illinois, which the Republicans eliminated after they lost the House in 1996. Considering the very real probability that Barack Obama will be at the top of the ticket this November, straight party voting could imperil a whole bunch of suburban Republican incumbents. The other proposal would reinstate the Structural Work Act, which allowed injured construction workers to sue someone besides their own employers. Business groups hated the law, Republicans got it repealed in 1995, and now Madigan wants to bring it back. A pal of mine said he planned to talk to Madigan about Saviano and the rest of the speaker's new agenda but had some real fears that Madigan would then turn on him. He's right. And the same thing goes for the other two main characters in this drama, Blagojevich and Jones: If you're not with them all the way, you're against them, and God help you if that's the case. It's why nothing gets resolved. Nobody can mediate this war.

Today, I will be sharing a recipe from:
Plant-Powered Families: Over 100 Kid-Tested, Whole-Foods Vegan Recipes
which is an awesome new cookbook I recently received in the mail for review on my blog! And at the end of this post, you can enter to win one of your own! This cookbook by Dreena Burton is full of amazing, delicious, plant-powered (plant based), vegan recipes! The recipes are all whole foods (oil-free), and most are gluten-free. In addition to the recipes, you'll find tips for picky eaters, school lunches, and nutritional FAQs in the back of the book.
Cheesy Caesar Dressing
Makes about 1 cup
You can make this creamy, delicious (and very authentic-tasting) Caesar dressing as is, or add nutritional yeast for a cheesy twist.
1/3 cup soaked and drained raw cashews
1–2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
1 teaspoon whole chia seeds (or 1 teaspoon ground chia if using handheld blender or standard blender)
1/2 scant teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon kelp granules (see note)
1/2 teaspoon capers
1 medium clove garlic, chopped
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/3–1/2 cup plain nondairy milk (see note; use extra to thin as desired)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 1/2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
Using a blender, combine the cashews, 1 tablespoon of the nutritional yeast, chia, sea salt, kelp granules, capers, garlic, black pepper, milk, lemon juice, and maple syrup and puree until very smooth. Add more nutritional yeast for a cheesier flavor if you like, and add extra salt/black pepper/garlic if desired. Serve tossed into romaine lettuce, along with Seasoned Polenta
Kelp Granules Note: If you have trouble finding kelp granules, they can be omitted. The dressing is still delicious without them!
Milk Note: I prefer plain unsweetened almond milk or soy milk in this recipe, but you can choose another if you prefer.
Idea: Adults might enjoy a little extra hit of capers, garlic, and black pepper in this dressing!
Kitchen Tip: This dressing will thicken after refrigeration. You can thin it by stirring in 2–3 teaspoons of milk or water if desired.
Serving Suggestions: In addition to serving traditionally as a salad with romaine, you can keep this dressing thick (reducing milk) and use as a dip or sandwich spread.

People of a certain age remember getting Gideon Bibles in public school. Recent graduates of Alamance-Burlington Schools do not.
�We are still going to Caswell and Rockingham, but the Alamance school system is closed,� said Randy Simmons, a longtime member of Gideons International and a member of the Gideons� state cabinet.
�It seems like the bigger the city, the harder it is,� Simmons said.
According to Jenny Faulkner, spokeswoman for the Alamance-Burlington School System, organizations have to fill out flier distribution requests to the district and submit the material they want to hand out to see whether it meets the district�s guidelines. The district will decide on each request individually and let schools know whether materials are permitted for distribution.
The Gideons did not submit a request last year, Faulkner said, and no one has submitted any requests for this year so far.
The question of whether the Gideons are allowed to distribute Bibles at ABSS schools was raised by a Times-News reader.
The district�s guidelines suggest a request to distribute Bibles would not get approval.
�Fliers will be reviewed for content and must be in keeping with these general activity guidelines: well established, organized, supervised family-friendly, age-appropriate activities that offer opportunity for sports, health/physical fitness, educational, arts, or community service with a non-religious focus on activity,� according to the district�s guidelines.
The argument comes down to freedom of religion versus freedom from religion, and whether passing out religious material in a school the government requires students to attend is the government pushing a religion.
The law, according to Chris Brook, legal director at the American Civil Liberties Union of North Carolina, does allow distribution of religious material in public high schools in North Carolina as long as public-school personnel do not hand it out, students are not pushed to accept it, and the people distributing it stay put.
�Private entities may passively distribute Bibles from a fixed location,� Brook said.
According to ABSS guidelines, school personnel appear to be the ones distributing the approved fliers.
The Fourth Circuit Court decision says elementary school students are impressionable and might not be able to understand the difference between the people handing out Bibles and their teachers.
According to North Carolina law, grades one through eight are considered elementary grades, according to an ACLUNC legal guide on religion in public schools.
Gideons in some places have gone to distributing Bibles near schools but off school property or outside graduations held off school property. Simmons said students can also share books with their classmates.
Simmons said The Life Book is based on the book of John, and the Gideons often distribute it to church youth groups, and those youth can share it with others at school.
�The kids distribute them,� Simmons said. �One-on-one, nobody can stop them.�
The Gideons can still distribute in local religious private schools, Simmons said, and some local charter schools. While he said there is some support for the Gideons on the Alamance-Burlington Board of Education, but it is really the superintendent�s decision.
The Gideons were able to hand out Bibles in the old county school system, but not the city system. After the two merged in 1996, the whole district was closed to them, Simmons said.
While Gideons have met with the past couple of ABSS superintendents, they have not been able to work anything out. He said they will try again with the next one.

Guilderland Archives The Altamont Enterprise, December 15, 2011
GHS named a 2012 Grammy Signature semi-finalist
GUILDERLAND Guilderland High School has once again been recognized as a Grammy Signature School semi-finalist, based upon the quality and caliber of the music-education program in the school.
As the Grammy Award, originally named the Gramophone Award, signifies excellence in recording, the Signature Schools award is designed to honor exceptional public high school music programs. Twenty New York high schools were recognized this year among the top 125 high schools in the nation.
Semi-finalists are invited to submit recorded performances and repertoire lists. The high school music facultyNancy Casellini, Kathy Ehlinger, Jeff Herchenroder, Lee Russo, and Rae Jean Teeter will decide on the recorded submissions.
The 100 public high schools with the best music programs in the country will be recognized as Grammy finalists. Guilderland made it to the top 100 in 2005, in 2007, and in 2009.
The top schools receive grants between $1,000 and $10,000, and the very top finalists have Grammy Award-winning performers come to their schools.
The screening, based in Santa Monica, Calif., is done by leading music educators and industry professionals; they announce the winners in January.
"They do a blind listening," Lori Hershenhart, the district's music supervisor, said earlier, meaning the judges don't know, when they listen to CDs of performances from various schools, which school it is.
"They are marvelous musicians in their own right and have a critical ear," she said.
Hershenhart noted that the music program at Guilderland begins in the earliest grades and builds through the middle school and high school.
School concerts, all of which are free and open to the public, are recorded.
"It's a reflective process," Hershenhart said of applying for a Grammy Signature award. The reflection is good for the program, she said told The Enterprise of applying in 2009. "We're always looking to grow forward," said Hershenhart.

The Rodarte sisters, Kate and Laura Mulleavy, roll out the red carpet at Target with a collection that's a fraction of the cost of their uber-designer line.
Natalie Portman, Kirsten Dunst and Reese Witherspoon -- who wore the designer to the Oscars last year -- are fans of the brand, and now you can be too! The details, the colors and the design are always amazing but normally completely out of budget.
Now, a lower line is about to break through the doors of Target on Dec. 20!
It's in such high demand and will get swallowed up as soon as it lands -- it may as well be thought of as custom-made. The collection is cheap -- $9.99 to $79.99 -- and the line includes an amazing variety of pieces that are not only wearable but damn cute! Lace and tulle dresses, sequins, netted leg wear and bow belts.
It all goes up online and in stores Dec. 20 through Jan. 31. Run, don't walk, to Rodarte at Target!

If so, you may be one of the individuals who is shaken when someone you know, who also knows nothing about your particular health challenge, attempts to diagnose you and offer treatment options as if you have been sequestered from mainstream society and all technology since your diagnosis.
It can be infuriating, especially when the unwanted comments are aimed toward you as a parent and caregiver of a sick child. Below are three ways to handle criticisms of your health journey.
1. Understand that people mean well (most of the time).
Here's the deal: Most people mean well, but their best attempts at "helping" often fail when done without compassionate contemplation before speaking.
Most people have no clue how to interact with someone who is facing a health crisis. Often, they say and do all of the wrong things because they don't know any better.
How many of you have been on the receiving end of the "But, you look so good." comment? Or how about the "You're too young to be sick." brain fart. Or what about the "It can't be that bad." blunder?
Believe it or not, those clueless comments are often people's attempts at being supportive.
But all someone who is suffering wants to hear is a simple, "That must be awful! Can I do anything to help?"
Acknowledgment, validation, and offering a helping hand can go a long way toward maintaining and strengthening relationships with those who are managing a health condition.
2. Set up and communicate clear and healthy boundaries.
There are also people who lack proper social etiquette, clear boundaries and the ability to empathize. Their comments can be relentless and insulting, so it is important that you bite the bullet immediately and set up and communicate clear boundaries from day one.
If they continue to violate your set boundaries, you may have to remove yourself from the relationship for the time being or forever. That is your choice.
In the end, your health is priority number one.
3. Stop, breathe and contemplate.
This can also be a fantastic time to go within and examine why it is that these individuals press your buttons.
Deep down, do you agree with their comments about you? Is your self-worth compromised? Do they mirror back to you something you need to change about yourself?
Remember, every crisis is an opportunity for growth, so if something has you feeling uncomfortable, that is a cue to look for the lesson.
And if every crisis is an opportunity for growth, every person we come across is a teacher.
Allow yourself to sink into the lesson being shown to you before you jump to feelings of anger and frustration. You'll miss the sacred moments if you spend all of your energy blaming others for your perceived misfortunes.

Six people hurt in icy tunnel crash
OAKRIDGE, Ore. - Six people were hurt in a crash Friday afternoon that blocked Highway 58 at the west end of the Salt Creek Tunnel for around two hours.
State police officials said that the crash happened at around 4:10 pm when Tanya Dawes, 41 of Klamath Falls went into the tunnel and lost control on the ice.
Dawes' Ford Explorer ran into the tunnel wall before hitting an eastbound Volvo station wagon driven by 21-year-old Eugene resident Neil Hubler-Dayton, police said.
Officials reported that Jesse Benson, 44 of Lebanon, was driving his Ford Taurus west toward the tunnel when he saw the crash. He spun out while braking to avoid the crash and hit a commercial truck also headed westbound.
Benson, his wife, their three children and the truck driver (identified as Jerry Hatton, 59 of Bullhead City, Arizona) were all taken to Sacred Heart Medical Center at RiverBend. Benson was seriously injured in the crash; the rest of his family and Hatton all had minor injuries.
The Oakridge Fire Department and Oregon Department of Transportation helped state police in managing the crash scene. They worked to clear the roadway and opened the Salt Creek Tunnel nearly two hours after the crash.
The location was the scene of a fiery crash in summer 2011 when a motorhome and two cars crashed and caught fire inside the tunnel.

With a quick scribble, St. Augustine running back Leonard Fournette on Wednesday morning became an LSU Tiger, marking the end of the recruiting process for the nation's top recruit.
Fournette, who enjoyed seeminly unlimited scholarship options, said he could have signed with Alabama, the Tigers' top competition for his services.
Yet he didn't. He wanted to be different.
"I could have went to Alabama like everybody else did," Fournette said of Alabama's recruiting success under coach Nick Saban, who is undefeated in BCS title games at LSU and Alabama (4-0), making him the most successful coach of the BCS era.
That wasn't enough for Fournette. Perhaps it was too much.
"I wanted to be different than everybody. I wanted to earn it myself," he said. "Instead of going to a school that's so — what can I say? — tremendous at winning championships, why not create a tradition on your own?"
For Fournette, there's no place better to accomplish this than his home state. LSU's Les Miles is 1-1 in BCS title games, including a loss to Alabama in the game after the 2011 season.
Fournette said running back Jeremy Hill's decision to declare for the draft after his redshirt sophomore season was not a major part of his decision. Had Hill stayed, Fournette added, they would have teamed for a dominant one-two punch in the backfield.
"I'm ready to get in Tigerland and grind," he said. "Nothing is given to you. You have to go out and earn it. I'm going to go out there as a regular freshman and work my way up."
Fournette was one of 12 St. Augustine players to sign Wednesday. Coach Cyril Crutchfield said he expects another five to sign in time to suit up in college this fall.
"I tell him all the time: In a couple of years, you'll be going to New York, you'll be a Heisman finalist," Crutchfield said. "In three years, you'll be going back (to New York) because you'll be a top pick in the NFL. I think the sky is the limit for that young man because he's so well-rounded."

Pupils from Cherhill Primary School dressed as characters from Wind in the Willows for a performance last week.
Children in years five and six went through a dress rehearsal in front of children from Cherhill Preschool before performing to their families the following two days.
They brought much of Kenneth Grahame's story to life, from Toad's imprisonment for stealing a car to his final victory against the stoats and weasels who invade his home.
Teaching assistant Nicki Stagg was in charge of the production backdrop and scenery, and also asked her husband Andy and her son Josh, a year four pupil, to help.
Deputy headteacher Helen Lammin organised the production, along with year five and six teacher Sarah Price, and said the children looked fantastic in their costumes.
She said: "Make-up was provided by two of our parent governors Ali Wylie and Louise McKenzie and they transformed the children from every day children to woodland creatures of various descriptions."

Slipknot Announce Greatest Hits Collection 'Antennas to Hell'
Metal bandits Slipknot have finally revealed that they're releasing a new album this summer – sort of. Antennas to Hell is a 'best of' record that will drop in stores on July 24.
The future of Slipknot was in question after the death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010. The band regrouped in 2011 for a string of festival dates in Europe. Vocalist Corey Taylor told us last year that Slipknot may no longer exist if those shows didn't work out, but fortunately they were a success.
While there have been contrasting statements among the members of Slipknot about the possibility of a new album, details have finally emerged about Antennas to Hell. The disc will feature songs spanning their 15-year career, including live tracks and alternate mixes. The two-CD set will include a bonus disc that contains their 2009 performance at the Download Festival in the U.K., where they performed in front of 80,000 fans. See the full tracklisting below.
A mobile app called 'Wear the Mask' will be released on the same date as Antennas to Hell that allows fans to create their own Slipknot mask and stay up-to-date with the band.
Slipknot haven't released a new full-length album since 2008's All Hope Is Gone. They will headline this year's Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival during the summer. The Iowa natives will also curate and headline their own KNOTFEST event August 17-18. This may be the last time we'll hear from Slipknot in awhile as the press release alluded to a forthcoming hiatus.
"This summer's performances will be the fan's last chance to see them as they are now," says the release. "Of course the band will continue- but just as inevitable with Slipknot, is the fact that the band will evolve – and the future is unwritten."
However, DJ Sid Wilson said in a recent interview that Slipknot would hit the studio in the near future to work on a new record. We'll just have to wait and see what unfolds.

Jenna + Bill Wedding 2011
Jenna, thank you so much for letting Maryland Wedding Makeup be apart of your day! Lauren, you too! I am thrilled to show off the work of Heather Coburn Photography as well. We had a blast getting ready in the salon and time honestly flew by with out a hitch. We kept the makeup bright using warm cream colors and defined lashes. Flawless skin was achieved using Laura Mercier Moisturizing Foundation and Secret Camouflage concealer. My secret weapon for the overcast weather was an illuminating powder placed on all the girls high points of the face. When the light is even outside it helps greatly with brightening the skin and face by bouncing the light up into the eye area. Jenna was a beautiful and calm bride and Bill (even getting his makeup done) was cool and calm. Have questions on this makeup design? Contact me here!
Natasha was wonderful to work with! She did the makeup for myself, my mom, the groom's mom, 3 bridesmaids and did a special facial treatment for the groom. Our makeup was perfect. Everyone was so happy (and the bridesmaids and I loved the fake eyelashes!). The pictures turned out wonderful as a result. It was such a relief to not have to worry about doing my own makeup. This is definitely something I recommend for every bride. It made the morning so very easy and stress free. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Jenna and Bill were soooo in love! We feel so blessed being able to make our brides feel beautiful on such an amazing day!

(CBS/AP) NEW ALBANY, Ind. - The family pastor for a southern Indiana woman found dead alongside her two children in a creek says the woman and her husband had seen "odd" and unexplainable things happen around their apartment complex during the time they lived there.
Greater Faith Church pastor J. Todd Nichols says 47-year-old Michael Clutter told him he went to police around 5 p.m. Wednesday after he arrived home from work and found his wife and children missing but their car and apartment keys inside the unit.
The bodies of 35-year-old Jamie Clutter, 10-year-old Brandon Clutter and 6-month-old Katelyn Clutter were found in a New Albany creek about 15 minutes later.
Police have released few details about the investigation.
The family has lived in New Albany since December.

Samantha Cameron enjoys Pete Tong rave in Ibiza
Samantha Cameron has shown a little of her wild side by enjoying a rave featuring
Pete Tong in Ibiza.
Just days after rubbing shoulders with Barack and Michelle Obama at Downing Street, the prime minister's wife jetted off to the Balearic isle.
She attended the International Music Summit Grand Finale Festival in Ibiza Town on Friday night and was recognised by fellow reveller Debbie Cartwright, who used Twitter to spread the news.
'Just spotted Samantha Cameron at the IMS Dalt vila party in Ibiza, funny to see her amongst lots of young ravers,' she tweeted.
A Downing Street source confirmed Mrs Cameron had been at the dance party, which featured Tong, 2manyDJs and Dubfire, until midnight.
Mrs Cameron, 40, is known to be a dance music fan and counts trip-hop star Tricky among her friends, but her break in Ibiza is not just about letting her hair down and recapturing her youth.
She took youngest daughter Florence with her when she flew to the island on Friday for a family holiday.
David Cameron followed with their older children, Nancy and Arthur, on an easyJet flight yesterday morning and they are expected to spend a week there.

It took all of four days of training camp — not one in full pads, mind you — for Pitt coaches to make a switch Saturday afternoon on the offensive line that appeared inevitable from the start.
When the first-team offense lined up for the inside-run drill, Jason Pinkston trotted out to left tackle, Joe Thomas to right tackle. And the so-called competition between them was likely over.
Now, this was only the first day of full-contact drills, so a lot can change between today and Aug. 30. But the Panthers' most veteran offensive linemen not named C.J. Davis appear to be settling in as bookends.
No surprise that redshirt freshman Jordan Gibbs was demoted to second-team left tackle — he just couldn't block defensive end Greg Romeus (who can?) — but there was another interesting twist. Freshman Lucas Nix, the U.S. Army All-American from Thomas Jefferson, moved from left guard to right tackle.
"Coming out of spring, I wanted to give Jordan Gibbs a few days," Pitt coach Dave Wannstedt said. "I wasn't happy with the way that was moving along fast enough. Joe Thomas has been OK. The best competition we can give both of those guys is Nix behind one and Pinkston, who was a starter last year, to the left tackle and put Gibbs behind him."
The first team, from left to right, was Pinkston, C.J. Davis, Robb Houser, John Malecki and Thomas. The second team was Gibbs, Dom Williams, Alex Karabin, Chris Jacobson and Nix.
"We're trying to work through some scenarios," Wannstedt said, "to continue to evaluating who are our best five and who are our best seven."
That isn't to say that Nix is the second-team right tackle just yet. Gibbs could easily move to right tackle and compete with Thomas. That's a likely scenario, considering Wannstedt didn't exactly give Thomas a ringing endorsement.
"We can flip-flop them," Wannstedt said. "And (fifth-year senior) Chase Clowser has lost a lot of weight and worked extremely hard. He didn't get as much work today but he's a guy who's been around here five years and has experience. I told him, 'Don't get discouraged. We know you can go in and help us and play but we need to get a look at a couple of these young guys."
Wannstedt also mentioned that Jacobson has a chance to move into the position of being a "swing guard" — meaning he could back up left or right in a pinch — and that Wayne Jones will compete with Karabin for the backup center job.
All of which means that notice has been served on a pair of upperclassmen with a few starts under their belt. Dom Williams and John Bachman are in danger of getting bypassed on the depth chart by Jacobson. And the remaining redshirt freshmen, Greg Gaskins, John Fieger and Dan Matha, aren't yet on the two-deep.
It's still early, but the offensive line competition is under way.
* The Panthers' first practice in pads was relatively uneventful compared to last summer, when Dom DeCicco announced his arrival by decking Oderick Turner and Derek Kinder suffered a season-ending torn ACL.
But Jonathan Baldwin made one of the most impressive catches we've seen at a Pitt practice in some time, and it left everyone looking at each other in disbelief.
The 6-foot-5, 220-pound Baldwin showed off his incredible leaping ability by "climbing the ladder" over cornerback Jarred Holley and safety Elijah Fields and hauling in a one-handed catch on an overthrown pass from Pat Bostick.
"Jonathan Baldwin made a catch today that, I think, let everybody know that he plans on competing," Wannstedt said.
• Kinder (knee) returned to practice after missing three days — "It was good to have him back, get him involved a little bit," Wannstedt said — but defensive end Doug Fulmer, defensive tackle Mick Williams, cornerback Aaron Berry and receiver T.J. Porter did not participate and defensive tackle Gus Mustakas and linebacker Brandon Lindsey both left with "minor" injuries.
The injuries hardly affected practice.
"We can continue to practice and compete at a high level," Wannstedt said. "That first year or two, if one of your good guys got hurt the drop-off in talent was a lot more drastic. When you don't have as good of players out there, things don't happen as fast, as efficient and you're not going to have as good of practices.
"Today, we had four or five guys out, which we'll have every day for reasons, and we had a good practice. I was pleased with the first day in pads."
• Wannstedt has been impressed with the play of tight ends Nate Byham, Dorin Dickerson and John Pelusi to the point that any of the three is capable of lining up with the first-team offense.
"I think we've got three starters," Wannstedt said. "I think any one of those guys can line up and start and we can win with any one of the three."
Dickerson might play a hybrid role, as he's capable of lining up at fullback or in the slot as a receiver in a three-tight set.
• Wannstedt also praised backup defensive tackles Craig Bokor and Myles Caragein, who have had their way with the second- and third-team offensive lines, as well as defensive end Jabaal Sheard, who has moved into the starting lineup.
"From a defensive standpoint, you don't want to say things too soon but the last three days Myles Caragein and Craig Bokor both have been very, very pleasing," Wannstedt said. "You expect Mick Williams and Duhart and those guys (to dominate).
"Of the young guys, I'd say Jabaal Sheard — he's playing like he's been a starter for two years. I'm real pleased with him, but Caragein and Bokor really raised up the level of their game."
Wannstedt also noted that freshman Jarred Holley "continues to make plays," which could make for an interesting battle with Ricky Gary for the backup field corner job behind Aaron Berry. It looks like Jovani Chappel has the edge over Buddy Jackson at the boundary corner right now, but it's still early.
• LaRod Stephens-Howling has been overshadowed by practicing in the afternoon with limited carries, but Wannstedt likes the look of his one-two punch at tailback.
"Shady's off to a great start," Wannstedt said of LeSean McCoy, "and for every run he makes, LaRod Stephens-Howling comes out and makes one the next down."
• Although the starting safety jobs are being held down by Eric Thatcher at free and Dom DeCicco at strong, Wannstedt didn't rule out the possibility that we'll see DeCicco and Fields together at times.
"Elijah is such a good coverage guy, we're talking about using him in some nickel and dime situations to get both of those guys on the field," Wannstedt said. "Most definitely."
• The inside-run drill saw Belle Glades products Tommie Duhart and Rashaad Duncan lined up next to each other inside, and they wasted no time blowing up a play to drop McCoy for a loss.
Pitt has such depth at defensive tackle that you might see the Panthers go big (Duhart and Duncan), small (Mustakas and Mick Williams) or a combination (Duncan and Williams or Duhart and Mustakas). And that's not even counting Caragein and Bokor.
• Nate Nix made a big hit to break up a pass intended for fullback Henry Hynoski, and Nix is an intriguing position. He could stay at weak-side linebacker, where he is contending with redshirt freshmen Tristan Roberts to back up Shane Murray, but it wouldn't come as a shock to see him move to defensive end to add depth now that Fulmer is hobbled.
• Quarterback Bill Stull rolled right and found Oderick Turner, who beat Gary on a deep route for a touchdown. Gary later made a nice ankle tackle on McCoy after the tailback went left, stopped and reversed field with only one man to beat.
• Defensive end Ty Tkach came around the left side to drop Stephens-Howling from behind for a loss. After spending the spring at tight end for depth reasons (Byham and Pelusi were injured and Dickerson was new to the position), Tkach is another end taking advantage of his increased reps with Fulmer out.
• Karabin had a nice shot on Bokor, who flushed Stull out of the pocket but didn't see the center setting up a crack-back block.
• One twist to the second-team defense was that the linebacker corps consisted entirely of redshirt freshmen, with Max Gruder in the middle flanked by Lindsey at strong-side and Roberts at weak-side. That might have just been for Pitt coaches to get a look at them behind a veteran line.
The other combinations we've seen include Steve Dell at middle, with Nix at weak-side and Greg Williams at strong-side. It will be interesting to see how the competition plays out, especially with Gateway All-American Shayne Hale in the mix in the middle.
• The Panthers had several visitors, including Steel Valley defensive lineman Tyrone Ezell, who made a verbal commitment to become Pitt's ninth recruit from the Class of 2009.
Allderdice senior defensive end Will Clark, Seneca Valley receiver Matt Plautz and another '09 commit, Bethlehem Liberty receiver Devin Street, also watched practice from the sidelines.
Sto-Rox junior quarterback Paul Jones, considered by some the state's top prospect in the Class of 2010, had an audience with Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson (who spent 15 years as a recruiting coordinator at Nebraska, Tennessee and Ohio State).
Perhaps most interesting was the presence of lineman Josh Marks, who recently left the Penn State football team. Marks was heavily recruited by Pitt out of Southern Columbia, where he played with Hynoski. The two spent time talking after practice, and it's possible Marks could transfer to Pitt and walk-on to the team.
• Pitt practices twice on Sunday, from 8:30-10:30 a.m. and 3-5:30 p.m., but only the second session is open to the media so there will be just one blog report tomorrow.

Iran does not rule out handing enrichment of uranium for its nuclear reactor in Tehran over to some other country if it gets firm guarantees of fuel supplies, a spokesman for the Iranian Foreign Ministry said.
"If a guarantee is provided to supply the 20 percent [enriched] fuel for the Tehran Research Reactor, our officials are ready to enter talks about 20 percent enrichment," Ramin Mehmanparast said at a conference in Kazakhstan on Friday.
But he added that Tehran reserves the right to continue its own enrichment program, Press TV reported on Saturday.
A new deal for Iran is in the works with the five permanent Security Council members – Russia, the United States, Britain, China and France – and Germany, offering easing of economic sanctions against Iran in exchange for caps on uranium enrichment in the country, The Guardian said earlier.
The deal may be put on the table after the presidential elections in the United States on Nov. 6, the report said.
Economic sanctions hindering Iranian oil exports have caused an almost 40-percent devaluation of the Iranian rial in recent weeks, which even prompted street protests by local small merchants, the bazaari, normally the core constituency of the ruling Islamic regime.

The case for expanding "Katie's Law," the New Mexico law that requires DNA collection for certain felony arrests, is powerful. In 2003, Jayann Sepich's 22-year-old daughter, Katie, died after a brutal rape and murder.
"She fought so hard for her life that she had skin and blood under her fingernails," Sepich tells SFR.
Law-enforcement officers were able to extract DNA samples of Katie's attacker—but at the time, Sepich says, New Mexico law allowed DNA collection only at felony convictions, not arrests.
"The man that killed our daughter was arrested three months after he killed her," Sepich says. "But we couldn't take his DNA then, so it was three years and three months after he killed her that he was finally convicted and incarcerated and they took his DNA."
So Sepich and her husband, David—both registered lobbyists—began their campaign to require DNA collection upon all felony arrests. In 2006, they pushed for a bill that would do just that—but according to its sponsor, state Sen. Mary Kay Papen, D-Doña Ana, the bill faltered in the Senate Judiciary Committee.
"There were some things that weren't acceptable to some members," Papen says, "so we made a compromise."
Currently, Katie's Law requires DNA collection upon arrest for certain felonies, mostly violent crimes and sex offenses. But Sepich says that's not enough.
"We've had 173 matches in New Mexico since Katie's Law went into effect, but we're missing a lot of them," Sepich says. She contrasts those figures with California's, where a law mandating DNA collection at all felony arrests has yielded more than 14,000 matches since it became effective in 2004.
But Sepich's campaign is gaining steam.
Today, 24 states require DNA collection, with 12 requiring it for all felony arrests. And in December, Sepich says, Gov. Susana Martinez called and said she was interested in expanding Katie's Law, a commitment she emphasized in her Jan. 18 State of the State address. Papen's bill—essentially a reiteration of the original bill attempted in 2006—was filed Jan. 31 with co-sponsor Sen. Vernon Asbill, R-Eddy.
But to organizations such as the American Civil Liberties Union, collecting DNA from felony arrestees—even those who aren't convicted, or who are arrested for defending themselves from domestic violence, writing bad checks or participating in political demonstrations—smacks of big-government interventionism.
"It takes a foundational legal principle, innocent until proven guilty, and turns it on its head," ACLU-New Mexico Communications Specialist Micah McCoy tells SFR. "DNA is more than a fingerprint. DNA contains your entire code; DNA is you: This is your entire genetic information that they are seizing from people, many of whom are presumably innocent."
Though Papen points out that the DNA identifiers used for law-enforcement purposes don't contain the entire genetic code, but rather just 13 "markers" used purely for identification against other DNA samples, McCoy says many questions remain.
"We don't think there's enough protection or oversight on this," he says.
But Sara Huston Katsanis, a genetics policy analyst at Duke University, says protective measures can be inserted into DNA collection laws—such as a caveat that requires law enforcement destroy a person's DNA sample if he or she is found innocent.
Katsanis says her main concern is whether filling already-overloaded DNA databases with even more information is actually effective in preventing crime.
"I have not seen the data to demonstrate that expansion of the database leads to more crime resolution," Katsanis says. "Before we just add more and more and more people, I think it's very important that we understand that it's useful. There's a lot of expenses going into this, possibly to the detriment of [other] casework."
First, of course, Papen's bill must withstand the test of the state Legislature—and possibly the lawsuits. (In 2009, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against California's DNA collection law.)
Sepich, for one, is ready.
"I realize there will be court challenges," Sepich says. "I think, ultimately, the US Supreme Court is going to uphold it. In the meantime, we're saving lives."

FORT LAUDERDALE, FL (BocaNewsNow.com) — Pedestrian bridges connecting parking garages to terminals at Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport will remain closed throughout the holiday travel season. The closure means travelers will continue to engage in a game of "Frogger" as they cross the airport's main road with luggage, often with no Broward County Sheriff's Deputies or airport security officials slowing or stopping traffic.
Airport officials tell BocaNewsNow.com that despite several previous statements to the contrary, all bridges will remain shut into the first quarter of 2017.
"Work continues on installing the steel roofs, the metal/concrete floors, lighting and handrails," according to Spokesman Allan Siegal.
Reserved parking, also expected to be available more than a year ago — and advertised throughout the airport parking structures — has yet to exist.
The bridges, which have been closed for more than a year, provide passage above traffic for travelers. Now, flyers seeking safety must use valet parking at $25/day. The bridge connecting parking to Terminal 1, Southwest Airline's home, remains open.
The airport is expecting a record Thanksgiving travel season, with more than 600,000 travelers using the airport between November 22nd and November 28th.

|Species Pilocamptus africanus (Chappuis, 1933)
Species Pilocamptus pilosus (Douwe, 1910)
Species Pilocamptus alluaudi (Chappuis, 1932) represented as Pilocamptus alluaudi (Chappuis, 1933) (alternate representation)
Species Pilocamptus kamerunensis (Kiefer, 1928) represented as Pilocamptus kamerunensis kamerunensis (Kiefer, 1928) (alternate representation)
From editor or global species databaseTaxonomy Chappuis (1929a: 43–45) fixed the types for Bryocamptus Chappuis, 1929a (i.e. Canthocamptus minutus Claus, 1863) and Echinocamptus Chappuis, 1929a (i.e. Canthocamptus echinatus Mrázek, 1893) (and thus for their respective nominotypical subgenera, ICZN Art. 67.1.1) but not for the new subgenus Arcticocamptus Chappuis, 1929a in the former or the new subgenus Limocamptus Chappuis, 1929a in the latter. Borutzky [1952: 212; 1964 (translation): 193] subsequently fixed Cyclopsine alpestris Vogt, 1845 as the type of Arcticocamptus.
Chappuis (1929a: 45) included the following species in the subgenus Echinocamptus (Echinocamptus): Canthocamptus echinatus Mrázek, 1893; C. pilosus Douwe, 1910; C. schroederi Douwe, 1915; C. georgevitchi Chappuis, 1924b; and C. kamerunensis Kiefer, 1928. In the subgenus Echinocamptus (Limocamptus) he included Canthocamptus echinatus var. luenensis Schmeil, 1894; C. hiemalis Pearse, 1905; C. hoferi Douwe, 1908; C. praegeri Scourfield, 1912; C. dacicus Chappuis, 1924a; C. calvus Brehm, 1927; and C. horai Chappuis, 1928a. Lang (1944: 28) re-assigned the subgenus Limocamptus to Bryocamptus and explicitly designated Canthocamptus echinatus Mrázek, 1893 (the type species of Echinocamptus) as the type of Bryocamptus (Limocamptus) while maintaining Echinocamptus as a valid genus (note that this taxon became hereby an "orphaned" grouping). This type fixation is invalid since C. echinatus was not originally included in the subgenus and consequently is not eligible to be fixed as the type species (ICZN Art. 67.2). The next author to fix a type species for the genus-group name Limocamptus is Borutzky [1952: 234; 1964 (translation): 214] who maintained Chappuis's (1929a) subgeneric division of Echinocamptus and validly designated Canthocamptus echinatus var. luenensis Schmeil, 1894 as the type of Echinocamptus (Limocamptus). However, Lang (1948: 1102) claimed that Echinocamptus (L.) luenensis (Schmeil, 1894) was nothing more than a variety of Echinocamptus (E.) echinatus and that both forms certainly did not belong to separate subgenera. Except for Borutzky (1952, 1964) this synonymy was widely adopted in the freshwater copepod literature (e.g. Dussart & Defaye 1990) and effectively rendered both genus-group names Echinocamptus and Limocamptus objective synonyms of one another (ICZN Art. 61.3.2). Since they were established simultaneously, but proposed at different ranks, in the genus group, the name proposed at higher rank (Echinocamptus) takes precedence (ICZN Art. 24.1).
Since Lang (1944, 1948) had removed Canthocamptus echinatus (the type of Echinocamptus) and all species placed in Echinocamptus (Limocamptus) to a taxon of subgeneric rank in Bryocamptus, the valid name of this subgenus is Bryocamptus (Echinocamptus) and not Bryocamptus (Limocamptus) as generally accepted (e.g. Dussart & Defaye 1990; Wells 2007). The subgenus includes the following species: Bryocamptus (Echinocamptus) echinatus (Mrázek, 1893); B. (E.) hiemalis (Pearse, 1905) [and its subspecies hiemalis hiemalis (Pearse, 1905); h. verestschagini (Borutzky, 1931d); h. brevifurcatus Coker, 1934; h. yunnanensis (Borutzky, 1952); h. elongatus (Shen & Tai, 1964a); and h. yetii Löffler, 1968]; B. (E.) hoferi (Douwe, 1908); B. (E.) praegeri (Scourfield, 1912); B. (E.) dacicus (Chappuis, 1924a); B. (E.) douwei (Willey, 1925a); B. (E.) nivalis (Willey, 1925b); B. (E.) calvus (Brehm, 1927); B. (E.) horai (Chappuis, 1928a); B. (E.) morrisoni (Chappuis, 1929c) [and its subspecies morrisoni morrisoni (Chappuis, 1929c) and m. elegans (Chappuis, 1929c)]; B. (E.) smirnovi (Borutzky, 1931d); B. (E.) parvus (Borutzky, 1931d); B. (E.) viduus Kiefer, 1952; B. (E.) hostensis (Borutzky, 1972); B. (E.) pacificus Ishida, 1992; and B. (E.) lacustris Wells, 2007.
As pointed out only recently by Wells (2007: 93), Lang's (1944, 1948) removal of the type of Echinocamptus to the genus Bryocamptus left the remaining Echinocamptus species assembled in an orphaned taxon whi [details]

Cosmetics retailer Lush is turning to Storage Made Easy's Enterprise File Share and Sync solution with data stored on OpenStack Swift to help improve its global reach.
Lush ran an initial two month trial with 50 people prior to moving forward with the Storage Made Easy solution. They subsequently rolled out the solution in stages, by department, first to 150 people and then on to 300 people, and then again on to 500 people.
"Lush expects to reach more than 1,000 users by the time the solution is fully rolled out," said Jim Liddle, Storage Made Easy CEO.
Lush is a brand-conscious company and the SME solution has been custom branded by Lush as the 'Lush Cloud.' The level of branding includes the Storage Made Easy Mac and Windows desktop tools, which are also custom-branded for Lush. SME makes it very easy for companies to brand the software by providing easy branding configuration, according Storage Made Easy.
The SME cloud file server solution is hosted in the U.K. on Lush's preferred service provider infrastructure, Memset, which also provides the back-end data store, Memset Object Storage, a customized version of OpenStack Swift.
"We chose the SME product because of the flexibility the solution offers. It has been very easy to manage large numbers of users and file structures from all areas of the business in more than 50 countries," Richy Baxter-Freeman from Lush international support said. "Our staff can access data on the go through their mobile devices, through a standard Web browser, or directly using the desktop integration functions. The solution is also flexible in the sense that we are able to manage multiple data sources and most importantly keep our data sources and management of these separate, meaning we can easily move data sources if necessary."
Storage Made Easy unifies files from disparate sources that could be on-cloud or onsite, and it provides various control points for that data including full file life-cycle audit and remote file encryption for protection against potential data snooping.

It took a while for Cody Ross to sign on with a new team, but he's getting to stay close to home on a three-year deal.
The Arizona Diamondbacks have signed Ross, according to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News. Ross, who lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., during the offseason, signed on for three years and $26 million, according to Jim Bowden of ESPN.com.
Ross joins a now-crowded corner outfield with Justin Upton and Jason Kubel. Ross played center field as a starter in 2010 with the Marlins, but he's better in left or right.
Ross played right field primarily with the Red Sox in 2012, when he hit .267 with 22 home runs and 81 RBIs. The Diamondbacks will be the seventh team Ross has played for during his nine-year career.

Well, this is going to make a lot of people happy. Georges St-Pierre is a pretty popular UFC fighter, and according to Latino-Review, he's landed himself a major role in Marvel's upcoming "Captain America: The Winter Soldier".
According to LR, St-Pierre will play a villain name Batroc the Leaper.
Batroc who? Glad you asked. Here's a little bit more about him:
Batroc has no superhuman abilities, but is in peak physical condition in every respect. He is an Olympic-level weightlifter and has extraordinary agility and reflexes. His leg muscles are particularly well-developed which enables him to leap great distances with the strength of an Olympic athlete. He is an expert hand-to-hand combatant and specializes in savate (French-style kickboxing). He is also a skilled military tactician, having formerly been in the French Foreign Legion.
I don't know how having "well-developed" leg muscles allows you to "leap great distances" (what, like the Hulk?), but that's comic books for ya, I guess.
No word on how big the role is. Will it just be one of those, "Hey, look, it's Batroc the Leaper in the background!" or a major, "Hey, look, Batroc is totally drop kicking Cap'n in the face!" type of roles. I guess we'll find out when "The Winter Soldier" reports for duty next year April 4, 2014.
LR also added that Robert Redford's character will be named "Pierce" in the movie, who is "a high ranking government official", although previous reports had him being a SHIELD big shot.
That's Batroc in the purple get-up below (he is French, after all):
