Feds may decide on Armstrong case this week
- Floyd Landis awaits decision from Department of Justice on lawsuit against Lance Armstrong
- Lawsuit could be worth nearly %24100 million in damages
- If government joins and wins%2C Landis could get up to 25%25 of damages
The U.S. Department of Justice soon will have another tough decision to make about Lance Armstrong.
Should it join forces with a confessed cheater — Floyd Landis — to pursue the vast fortunes of his former cheating teammate?
Or should it move on from cycling's vicious cycle ?
After nearly three years of consideration, that's the bottom line now as the government decides what to do with a civil fraud lawsuit filed by Landis against Armstrong in 2010. A decision could come this week. And the stakes could exceed $90 million.
"It is no small potatoes," said Jason Workmaster, a Washington D.C. attorney who specializes in similar cases.
In recent weeks, the federal government has been mulling its options. It could join Landis' suit and seek nearly $100 million in damages from Armstrong and their former associates on the U.S. Postal Service cycling team. Or it could let Landis pursue it on his own .
Filed under the federal False Claims Act in 2010, Landis' suit is colored with irony. A former teammate of Armstrong's on the USPS cycling team, Landis admitted cheating to win the 2006 Tour de France after years of vigorous denials. In his suit, Landis is taking the high ground and blowing the whistle on Armstrong, who cheated to win the Tour seven straight times before Landis.
After years of his own vigorous denials, Armstrong finally confessed to his own cheating in a televised interview last month with Oprah Winfrey. As a result, the Landis case now poses the biggest legal threat to Armstrong's future.
"The lion's share of these cases settle," Workmaster said. "The reason for that is the stakes are so high normally for the defendant. No defendant wants to be in a case where it's 'The United States vs. me.'"
Landis' suit accuses Armstrong and his associates of defrauding the federal government through their use of banned drugs and blood transfusions on the USPS team. Because Armstrong and others engaged in these doping practices to boost themselves on the bike, the suit argues they violated their USPS contracts and that the government should get its money back.
USPS paid more than $30 million to sponsor Armstrong's team for several years. As provided by the False Claims Act, Landis seeks to recover triple that amount for the government — more than $90 million, with Landis getting up to 25% as the whistleblower and witness who brought the case to the government's attention.
But the clock ticks. Normally, the government has 60 days to decide whether to join such a case unless it gets extensions granted by the court, Workmaster said. After nearly three years, the case remains under seal , indicating the government has continued to ask for more time to make a decision and push for a settlement — an effort that recently has failed.
By joining the case instead, the government could increase its leverage by pushing the case to trial, but it would come with risks. It doesn't help the government that the case is nearly 10 years old . Plus Armstrong's attorneys likely would argue that the USPS benefited from the doping scheme and therefore suffered no damages.
According to studies conducted for USPS, the cycling team's sponsorship brought USPS around $100 million in value from 2001-04 through media coverage and other intangible benefits.
"Defendants often attempt to argue that the government got what it paid for so there are no damages," said Michael Morse, a Philadelphia attorney who specializes in such cases. "However, the government could argue that it did not get what it paid for, because (playing by the rules) was a condition of the government payment."
Regardless of any benefits it might have reaped from the doping scheme, Workmaster said the government could argue to the jury that "if they had known there was doping going on, they would not have paid out the money."
On the other hand, Armstrong's attorneys have a good argument, too, Workmaster said. Relevant case law states that when assessing damages in such cases, "you must take into account the value the government got," he said.
Workmaster said if it's determined the government got as much back as it paid out, then "the damages are zero." And if the damages are zero, nobody might get much more than a big waste of time, or $5,500 to $11,000 per false claim in penalties.
But Landis still has much to gain if the government joins his case and proves substantial damages. Workmaster said it doesn't matter if he's a confessed doper himself because whistleblowers often blow the whistle after being involved in the scam themselves.
After confessing to his own doping sins, Landis was among the first to accuse Armstrong of doing the same — an accusation Armstrong shot down with denials and attacks on Landis' character.
Landis' testimony and evidence from other witnesses later helped the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency compile a massive file of evidence against Armstrong — enough to ban Armstrong for life and strip him of his seven titles in the Tour de France.
Under the weight of that evidence, Armstrong finally relented. In January, he confessed to doping from the mid-1990s through 2005 — admissions that could boost Landis' case.
Now it's the government's call. If the government decides against joining the case, Landis still could pursue the case on his own. It just wouldn't bring the same force.
"From a practical perspective, the chances of success are much higher when the government is pursuing it," Workmaster said. "They bring their resources. They bring their name. It's a very different thing for a jury if there's a justice department lawyer accusing a defendant of having defrauded the government than a private citizen making those accusations. The calculus is very different."

League slightly behind bullpen colleagues
GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Most of the relievers expected to be in the Dodgers' bullpen this year threw live batting practice on Wednesday, while Brandon League returned from a mild lat strain to throw a bullpen session.
Among those throwing to hitters were closer Kenley Jansen, Brian Wilson, Chris Perez and J.P. Howell. League said he threw cautiously with no discomfort and hoped to do so again on Friday before facing hitters.
Meanwhile, reliever Jose Dominguez tried out a new slider grip suggested by legendary lefty Sandy Koufax and reported improved downward break on the pitch.
Manager Don Mattingly said Zach Lee, who has been on a restricted throwing program because of a strained lat, might return to the mound on Thursday.
And reliever Yimi Garcia has a bruised kneecap and has resumed playing catch.

I have heard it said that life is a journey, not a destination and that is true, but in the case of Raffaldini Vineyards, the destination is worth the journey. Getting there is a little challenging, but don't give up. There are a few lefts and rights, a few dirt and gravel roads, but the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow makes the trip seem fun.
Arriving at the vineyard, I was struck by the setting and the architecture. The Tuscan-style villa sits atop a gentle rolling hill with views in almost every direction. It was a clear day and the mountains were especially beautiful. I parked in the lot adjacent to the winery and took a stroll through the flower gardens that lead to the entrance. Being greeted by roses and seasonal flowers, put me in a great mood before I entered the tasting room. I must admit, leaving the beauty of the setting and the amazing vistas was difficult, but I tore myself away and ventured into the villa.
The winery was no disappointment. While I have not been to Italy or visited a vineyard there, I would imagine that this is a faithful reproduction. I was certainly transported to somewhere other than the foothills of North Carolina. I was greeted with a warm hello and given instruction on how the operation works. I paid my dues and stepped up to the wine bar and was given a list of available wines to taste. I am certainly no wine connoisseur, but I know that if I must taste wine… the sweeter the better. I found a few that tilted towards the sweet side, but even the dry wines were enjoyable.
The experience was excellent and the stories told by the tender filled the time with interest. My problem was focusing on the wine when the view was so incredible. I left the tasting room and found a comfortable chair on the patio outside and just soaked in the setting. I could try to communicate what I saw and how I felt, but I am telling you that you need to go and see and hear and touch the place to fully understand. Several couples purchased bottles and made their way onto the ornate patio and sat together to enjoy the wine and the day.
I was informed that the vineyard had become a wedding destination and that they were booked up nearly a year in advance. I fully understand! What a setting to make a vow to the one you love. The only thing that I can think that would rival the beauty of the setting is a glowing bride on her wedding day. So, if you are making those types of plans, call early and often to book your weekend.
My wife and daughter enjoyed the visit as well and we plan on making a return trip this year. This time, I will know to allow for an afternoon rather than an hour and a picnic basket as well. Enjoy or as they would say "salute".

I'm not sure if this has been brought up in the past here, but has anyone ever tried this stuff for building a puppet?
I bought some a while back to test it, but I haven't really had a reason to try it out yet. In theory, it would be cool if it worked so you could sculpt fleshy puppets right on to the armature. It mentions animation as one of the applications in the description, but I was curious if anyone had any hands on experience with it. I'm not sure if it's a popular compound in the makeup world as this seems to be the only site I've that carries it. I might try some of mine out one day, but I bought it a year ago and I'm not sure if it is even still pliable.
Views: 911
But it's not a foam latex, it's a soid latex, so it's going to be way too dense for puppet flesh. Probably about like liquid latex when it dries. And the only reason liquid latex works for animation is because you apply it in paper-thin sheets that remain flexible and stretchy. Foam latex is way more flexile and compressible.
I tried one of the hand-kneadable silicone moldmaking compunds before, and it results in a rubber about like - well, somewhat more flexible than a pencil eraser is a good way to put it. A rubber like that is fine for making molds or maybe sculpting props, but nowhere near soft enough for use as puppet flesh.
I see. Thank you very much for the reply. It seems mine is still about the consistency as a polymer clay so I'll be able to at least still test it out. I'm sure I'll be able to find some use for it whether or not it's for puppet building.
I have seen some flexible polymer clay that, when baked, was a fairly firm rubber. It had been used for thin fingers, and they could bend a bit to give the hands some life, but not go far enough to make a fist. I'd want to know the Shore Hardness of this stuff. Does it get baked, like polymer clay, or air dry, or have 2 parts you mix together?
Since you have it you may as well try it out and see - it is probably good for some things. But I doubt that it would replace a soft silicone or a foam latex. If it did, a direct build-up with a sculptable material that sets flexible enough to animate would be a great breakthrough.
Hi Nick,
It is an air dry clay and comes as one whole piece. When I have time, I was thinking about making an arm and animating it. I'll report back with my results when I get around to testing it.
Yeah, it could work for fingers, maybe for very thin arms and legs and things like that. Pretty much the same stuff you build up from solid layers of liquid latex. Looking forward to your tests!
I've never seen a latex clay before, very interesting. I bet if I had a package of it, it would get used for something. It would probably also be good for small press molds.
And this stuff is only $6.95 for that package so, it's really worth the 'risk' to see if it's any good. Who knows? It could end up being very popular here if it bends far enough and can be painted.
You're already very popular here - you could end up being the god of latex clay! Unless Jason gets on with it and tests it first. Then all your acolytes would desert you.
Ahh, Nick, Ron's just popular because of all the great stop-mo he does. . . ;) Come to think of it, that is why you are very popular here too! Hmmm. Besides that you are both totally generous with your hard-won advice, as is everyone here. God but I love this site!
please post results. that stuf looks cool.
This is what I've been waiting for! Hopefully it is more flexible than Sculpey Bake and Bend or Super Elasticlay. Let me know how it goes. It might work especially well for making a press mold from a hard object.
*edit* I see that other folks have said pretty much the same thing. Great minds!
Sorry it took so long to get the results in! I've had a busy Thanksgiving week. I finally had some time to make a quick arm armature (an ARMature) and test it out.
The instructions recommend using glycerin hand lotion to increase the working time and make it more pliable. I didn't have any on hand so I just went for it. I was surprised by how quickly it started to dry and how difficult it was to mold pieces back together and smooth it out. Perhaps the hand lotion would have helped with this.
Now that it is dry, as many suspected it works better around the thinner parts like the fingers. Around thicker parts, like the wrist, it seems to wrinkle and even crack a bit (perhaps it needed more drying time in the thicker areas). It does remain very flexible though. I'd say it's definitely better than Bake and Bend Sculpey in terms of flexibility but doesn't come close to the durability of liquid latex.
Overall, it's not a game changer but someone might find some use for it (or a better way to treat it/work with it). I might try it a second time in the future with the lotion and let it dry longer. The instructions don't really give a specific amount of time so I might have started messing around with it too soon.

Test results can be viewed live as the test runs and once the test has finished. Results can be viewed wither in the Monitoring tab or the Results tab, the monitoring tab will only have content as the test runs. Once the test has stopped those results are shunted across to the Results tab and filed under the Job name and then by the date and time that the test was started. This section will cover the Result tab as the functions available in the Result tab (barring just a few such as Generate Report, Anomaly Detector and some others) are the same as those available in the Monitoring tab.
If for any reason the AgileLoad Test Center is closed (deliberately or not), unless the stop button was clicked, the test will not be stopped. Reopening AgileLoad Test Center and navigating to the Monitoring tab will show the current set of results as they are generated.
The results tab is organised by Job name and Result set (denoted by the date and time that the test was started). If multiple analysts are accessing the same repository and a result set is not showing, clicking the refresh button (circular yellow arrows at the top left of the Result tab) will update the view.
Under each of the folders are another set of subfolders where all the results are organised, if any infrastructure monitoring was set up that data is also kept here.
A report can be generated simply by right clicking the high level time stamped folder and selecting Generate Report (see earlier section on report generation placed with AgileLoad Starter). The same right click can also be used to choose Anomaly Detection which is very useful for finding infrastructure bottlenecks. Anomaly detection will be covered in the advanced section as in the main it relates to infrastructure monitoring. Any previously generated reports or Anomaly lists are filed under the Anomalies Lists or Reports folders. Global HTTP View & Global Timers / SLA View are covered in the earlier section relating to AgileLoad Starter.

LONDON – If all goes according to plan, UFC interim bantamweight champion Renan Barao's first defense of his temporary belt will also be his last.
UFC President Dana White said he's hoping Barao (30-1 MMA, 4-0 UFC) will meet Dominick Cruz (19-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) this summer, provided the current division champion heals in time.
"I want it this summer, so hopefully he's healthy and we can do it," UFC President Dana White told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) following Saturday's UFC on FUEL TV 7 event in London.
Cruz hasn't fought in more than 16 months after undergoing a series of surgeries to reconstruct an injured knee. He earned the UFC title with a December 2010 win over Scott Jorgensen in the WEC's final event and has since defended the title twice with victories over Demetrious Johnson and Urijah Faber.
An exact timetable for his return has yet to be established, and White recently suggested any further delays might be real cause for Cruz to consider his fighting future. However, while he mentioned Cruz's retirement as a remote possibility should he find further problems, he said the champ has insisted he'll make it back to the octagon.
"I was just on FUEL TV, and he's in the studio terrified now because you guys all went back and wrote that I said he has to retire if he gets injured again, which is not what I said," White said. "(It's) not even close to what I said. And I just clarified that for him back in the studio in L.A."
Meanwhile, Barao claimed the interim title with a win over Faber this past July. In the headlining bout of Saturday's night's FUEL TV-broadcast event, Barao defended the belt with a fourth-round submission of young slugger Michael McDonald.
The Brazilian now boasts an incredible 30-fight win streak, and some pundits already consider him the division's top fighter even with only the interim belt around his waist.
Of course, Barao would prefer to have the original article for his trophy case, and as long as Cruz can prevent any further complications, he'll have his chance in just a few months.
"Hopefully Cruz is healing up well and we can do that fight," White said. "That's the fight I want to do, and hopefully we can do that this summer."

Cables & Snakes
Almost any instrument that needs to be connected to an amplifier, mixer or PA requires some sort of cable in order for the instrument to be heard.

The Budawangs is home to some of the best Bushwalking in NSW. This particular Bushwalk from West to East or vice-versa is a Mega-classic offering humungously diverse and spectacular scenery and bushwalking. It is home to iconic features like The Castle, Monolith Valley, Seven Gods Pinnacles, Corang Arch, Burrumbeet Brook and more.
The level of interest amongst the boys was excellent with 16 boys in total. This meant that we could embark on the ideal trip by splitting the party into two, starting at opposite ends of the Bushwalk thereby visiting all the best bits without any backtracking.
After a ridiculous amount of pfaffing around with car hire and other logistical problems, we finally headed off on Friday afternoon to our campsite for the night at Bendeela in the Kangaroo Valley.
A challenging bushwalk in the Kanangra region. Originally I had planned to do a three day walk from Kanangra to Katoomba for the Silver Qualifying Walk but alas the logistics of the car shuffle proved to be too complex so I settled for a three day circuit starting at Kanangra Walls, down the Gingra Ridge to the Kowmung River, up to 100 Man Cave via Compagnoni Pass and the Ti Willa Plateau
I can't quite remember how this all got started, I think I suggested to Anton that he might be able to organise his own DoE walk and soon enough Jason asked Anton if I could organise a Six Foot Track walk. After I had a look at the Six Foot Track walk, I decided that it looked pretty boring as the bulk of it is along firetrail which I generally dislike. It's OK in small doses, but I much prefer less travelled routes in wilderness areas.

March 20, 2006 – Washington D.C. Today the U.S. Supreme Court affirmed the Federal District Court's decision in Barbara Nitke and NCSF v. Alberto Gonzales, the challenge to the Communications Decency Act, #01 CIV 11476 (RMB). The Supreme Court has affirmed the lower court's decision without hearing oral arguments, sending a clear signal that the court will not protect free speech rights when it comes to sexually explicit materials.
The NCSF and Nitke lawsuit was successful in weakening the Miller standard of judging obscenity: the District Court for the Southern District of NY made a factual finding that the SLAPS prong of Miller does not provide protection against prosecution as it was intended to do. The Miller decision (1973) stated that materials were constitutionally protected if the work, taken as a whole, has "serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value." However the District court accepted evidence from NCSF and Nitke that prosecutors and juries in more restrictive communities are less likely to extend protection to artistic and literary materials that are outside the mainstream of traditional sexuality.
"We have proven that Miller does not work," says Susan Wright, Spokesperson for NCSF. "But the Supreme Court has declined to strike it down at this time. That means every website on the Internet can be judged by the most repressive local community standards in the U.S."
The Supreme Court decision shows the importance of supporting NCSF, one of the few organizations proactively fighting obscenity laws. The CDA makes it a crime to post obscenity on the Internet because those materials may be viewed by children. NCSF and Nitke believe that adults should have the right to post and view sexually explicit materials involving consenting adults on the Internet.
"We knew that the Bush administration was laying its plans to prosecute sexually explicit material on the Internet," says John Wirenius, attorney for the plaintiffs. "By filing our lawsuit in 2001, we may have slowed the Justice Department from prosecuting obscenity in 2002-3, but the number of obscenity prosecutions has steadily increased ever since. We believe in fighting this battle and we took our fight all the way to the Supreme Court."
"I think we've achieved a great victory in drawing attention to how politicized our judicial system has become," says co-plaintiff Barbara Nitke, a fine art photographer who explores sexual relationships in her work. "Our obscenity laws are outmoded, especially in conjunction with the Internet. We've made a huge dent in how obscenity will be judged in the future, and I hope others will now stand up and continue to fight against repressive laws like this."
NCSF and Barbara Nitke would like to thank everyone who contributed to fund this important lawsuit, as well as the many dedicated witnesses and lawyers who assisted in bringing this case to court. In particular, NCSF and Nitke thank John Wirenius for his outstanding efforts in this case and his dedication to First Amendment rights. NCSF intends to continue the fight against obscenity laws in the U.S.

Chelsea Gardner, coming off a career-high 26-point performance against Grambling State, added 14 points off the bench for the Jayhawks (7-0). Davis and Gardner combined for 15 of the Jayhawks' 26 field goals.
Rachel Banham had 19 points and was 8 of 16 from the floor for the Golden Gophers (6-3), including a 3-pointer with 10:59 to play that pulled Minnesota within 42-41. But Kansas responded with a 9-0 run and was never seriously threatened again.
Banham scored 12 of her points in a back-and-forth first half that saw Minnesota lead by seven early, but ended in a 30-30 tie.

I absolutely enjoyed and learned a lot about happiness from this course. I will definitely recommend it to my peers, as it gets me to the core from my misconceptions to developing the right practices.
This is an outstanding course! I was able to change into a more positive and productive mindset as taught in this course. I highly recommend it to everyone regardless of your profession or background.

I couldn't have asked for a better class to be offered during this time. Got to learn a lot about myself and why I think or do certain things without even thinking about it. Thank you for this course!

I've been insanely busy. One of the cats is sick and I have to give him pills twice per day. Plus he wasn't eating so I also had to syringe-feed him twice per day as well. He's much better now. The pills will probably continue for the rest of his life. He's starting to eat on his own so I'll quit the syringe feeding.
I don't know if I ever mentioned that I did sign up for the doggie training class. After six weeks he basically did not graduate. We're supposed to take him over to the trainer twice a week and they work on him. I don't know if we'll do that. They said I should run/walk him daily to get that energy out. So for a week now I've been walking him daily. We're working on loose leash walking where he doesn't forge ahead of me. So the walks have been like a daily session of tug-of-war. Yesterday he was better towards the end, when he's all overheated and thirsty and less able to fight. With all that I have to do with him and the cat, I've been getting into work ridiculously late. We have rather long days at work so it's dark by the time I get home in the evenings.
I'm still working on the house (removing the bad caulk job on the fascia, prep for paint then paint), but progress is extremely slow. I don't get much done from week to week.
I'm sure I have other things to share. But apparently not when I'm sitting down and ready to blog.

the weekend
Sunday, August 10, 2008
We attended a friend's ceremony of final vows (religious life stuff for those not familiar).
We attended a musical production at a small college.
We went to the cemetery and visited graves of loved ones.
in the not too distant past:
We saw the movies Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Hancock, & Batman the Dark Knight IMAX

piano fun
wow. I am very surprised to find videos of Andre Watts on YouTube. Here is a lovely find: Listz's La Campanella. And here is another wonderful piece Beethoven's Op. 31 no. 2 in D minor first movement there; check out the third movement too.
Surely everyone is familiar with Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. The first movement is most familiar, but all are good. The third movement is spectactular.
first movement Wilhelm Kempff on a Steinway & Sons
second movement
third movement
And any Chopin you pick would be nice. Here's one just at random: Piano Sonata No. 2 and here with Andre Watts.
Bach Invention #14
Ravel's beautiful Pavane Pour Une Infante Defunte
Schubert's Op. 90 No. 11
one of many variations of Pachelbel's Canon in D
my favorite Richard Clayderman piece: A Comme Amour
a popular Paul de Senneville/Richard Clayderman piece: Ballade pour Adeline
MacArthur Park seems like a really fun piece
Michel Legrand Windmills of Your Mind
Henry Mancini Somewhere in Time
Not piano, but one to leave you energized: Yolanda Adams Victory

Friday Five
Friday, August 08, 2008
I ran across today's Friday Five at An Unseen Hope
Friday Five: What You Absolutely, Positively, Can't Leave Home Without
From Singing Owl:
We will be at a chaplain's convention when you all are answering the Friday Five Questions. I'll look forward to reading your answers next week when I get home. At the moment we are trying to get the car loaded so we can hit the road, so this will be a simple F.F. This running around madly in order to leave has me wondering: what are the five things you simply must have when you are away from home? And why? Any history or goofy things, or stories?
Aside from clothes and toiletry:
1. Money or some way to pay
2. watch
3. cell phone
4. info to get me to my destination (name and address, telephone number, reservation info if applicable, sometimes a map)
5. Big Ben I pocket knife (a b-day gift from long ago from my bro; it's probably only 2 inches when closed)

no mat
Wednesday, August 06, 2008
me: When I leave for work tomorrow, I will take the mat out of the crate.
Tonto: No, he's been good. I think it will be fine. Just leave it in there.
me: ok
end of next day: dog, crate, small pieces of blue foam, bye-bye mat
It is so VERY difficult to like this dog. He's been nothing but trouble, hassle, and very costly.

bed saga
Sunday, August 03, 2008
Over 65 pounds of puppiness is very destructive, so doggie is crated most of the time. So much time on a plastic floor results in bald spots (calluses) at the pressure points. We've been trying to find a solution. The K-9 Ballistics bed didn't work; he tore apart the plastic zipper in minutes. Then we tried fleece mats--no zipper, no stuffing, no stitches. That's lasting; he's not eating up the entire two fleeces we gave him, though a little bit does disappear each week. Unfortunately, the fleeces just get pushed off to the corner of the crate.
We tried another stuffed bed that was on sale for $20. Yup, it tore in minutes. I've since sewn back up the hole in the bed and now he gets it when he's out in the house (under supervision). In the photo, the cat is enjoying that bed while doggie is crated.
We tried a foam play mat (found through Amazon); it comes as a pack of four 2ft square mats. I estimated a 2ft x 3ft mat, so I used 1 1/2 squares. It survived one night but was torn to pieces by the end of the following day. I still had 2 1/2 mats left. So I've put the mats together with all the interlocking fingers on the inside and the outsides are cut edges something like diagrammed below. I made the mat 24 1/2 x 39 inches so that it would fit the crate more snugly, making it difficult for him to get to the edges. We've decided that we'll remove the mat from the crate when we're gone. Let's hope it works.
