Roundup: Cadel Evans’ yellow jersey dream ends due to injury: Australia’s media

CANBERRA, July 14 (Xinhua) — The Tour de France dreams of Australian Cadel Evans came to a crushing end on his first day in the leader’s yellow jersey, Australia’s media reported on Wednesday.

“Cadel bravely tried to defy the odds by racing with a fractured elbow that had been kept secret but lost more than eight minutes on the 204.5km ninth stage from Morzine to Saint Jean de Maurienne, and all chance of winning overall,” Sydney Morning Herald reported on Wednesday.

Evans finished the last of two days in the Alps in 42nd place at 8 minutes 9 seconds to the stage winner, Frenchman Sandy Casar, who beat Spaniard Luis-Leon Sanchez and Italian Damiano Cunego across the line.

Evans’ performance was affected by the pain of racing with a fractured elbow.

His distress was clear at the finish. Immediately after stopping, he fell into the arms of Italian teammate Mauro Santambrogio who rode by his side for more than 30km to the end.

As they hugged, Evans dropped his head into Santambrogio’s chest and cried, Herald reported.

Incredibly, only a handful of BMC staff knew of Evans’ injury, a fractured elbow sustained in his crash seven kilometers into Sunday’s 189km eighth stage from Station des Rousses to Morzine Avoriaz.

The injury was only confirmed on Monday’s rest day after he felt pain in a morning training ride and later had x-rays at a Morzine clinic.

The Herald reported that Evans did not even tell the media of his injury when he faced them at the BMC team bus after Tuesday’s stage. That was left to team management later.

“I wasn’t at the same as I was at Avoriaz. I had a big crash first six or seven kilometers at the start of the stage and I am really paying for the consequences in the last 48 hours before,” Evans said.

“I suffer on my bike every day. I do it for pleasure

Don’t be lazy, write

Don’t be lazy, write it down! This exercise really works!

4. Call your friend.

This method works great. Call someone who can support you, who can talk with you for a couple of minutes. You can call your nonsmoking friend, or someone who’s trying to quit smoking too.

5. Distract yourself with a quick task.

Think of a small task you have to do, something what would take you 5-10 minutes. Make a call, send a fax, make yourself a cup of coffee, water the plant in your office. Anything! Your task is to distract yourself until the urge will pass. (Hint: Try to find activity that makes smoking impossible!)

I could write a book over disclosure

I could write a book over disclosure and franchise law.

The fact is that we are a mobile car wash franchise for the most part and that is a relatively easy and simple business. As much as the professionals care to argue to the contrary, all these disclosure laws just are not needed. Neither is all this regulation and surely not anymore than already exists. You can sit and argue why the rules and all the laws are necessary, but you will never convince myself or franchise buyer of it. Has anyone stepped away from the box long enough to see how absurd this is? Are we all so engulfed in the words of the statues and rules that we cannot see what we are doing. Forcing some businesses into the franchising model that should not be there, forcing the square peg where it does not fit.

Half the time it appears we have lost site of the peg and it has found itself in a place where the sun don?t shine.

Scalextric’s fast profit; IF THAT BUGATTI AVOIDED HITTING THE SKIRTING BOARD IT COULD BE WORTH XA3;3,000;

Scalextric’s fast profit; IF THAT BUGATTI AVOIDED HITTING THE SKIRTING BOARD IT COULD BE WORTH XA3;3,000;

0 Comments | Mail on Sunday (London, England), The, July 25, 2010

Byline: BY TOBY WALNE

FORMULA 1 fans can watch Jenson Button and fellow Briton Lewis Hamilton in the German Grand Prix today – and then recapture some of the thrill on their living room floor with Scalextric.

But it’s not just children who enjoy playing. Nostalgia for the slot-car racing game has helped turn dustladen toys into shrewd investments.

Scalextric as we know it was unveiled at the Harrogate Toy Fair in 1957, with the first sets including sturdy tin-plated vehicles and strong rubber tracks. The original set, complete with Ferrari 375 and Maserati 250F and box, now sells for [pounds sterling]500. It originally cost [pounds sterling]5 17s 6d ([pounds sterling]5.871/2p).

However, it was not until the Sixties when more vulnerable – and now rare – plastic models were made. These are the most collectable.

Discover a 1964 toy C70 Bugatti Type 59 in the attic and you could have a car worth [pounds sterling]3,000.

Very few survived the trials of Scalextric racing such as a Boxing Day collision with the skirting board.

Vince Albani, 52, of Attleborough, Norfolk, has a col-lection of 850 cars that he began after being given a Scalextric set for Christmas as a child in 1967. ‘A few years ago you could trade parts for pennies, but with the growing interest in Scalextric, prices have been climbing,’ he says. ‘You can now spend anything from a few pounds to many thousands.’

Vince’s favourite model is one of the first he owned – a Sixties Lamborghini Muira C17 worth [pounds sterling]50, but he also has more valuable boxed cars, including a Sixties DB4 GT Aston Martin worth [pounds sterling]1,500. A mid-Sixties James Bond Aston Martin toy set can fetch [pounds sterling]3,500.

Vince says: ‘Just like our own motor industry, the quality of Scalextric vehicles seemed to get worse in the Seventies and by the Eighties was in a dreadful state.

‘However, the modern Scalextric is of a higher quality and also aimed at adult collectors.This has helped to reinvigorate the market and boost the values of older slot cars.’

Vince believes the best place to start is a modern Scalextric set. Basic sets start from about [pounds sterling]50 while the latest models of F1 cars driven by Button, Hamilton or Michael Schumacher cost [pounds sterling]35 each. He also points to the local slot-car enthusiast groups affiliated to the British Slot Car Racing Association (BSCRA), where enthusiasts trade in vehicles and race.

Mike Harvey, 60, who runs the Presto Park Scalextric Club in Aylsham, Norfolk, admits: ‘I often get children coming with their dads and it is the parents who end up enjoying themselves most.’

Mike says enthusiasts can spend up to [pounds sterling]300 for a souped-up slot car, which can include engines capable of 100mph and siliconbased tyres from America plus super-strong axles

KARL CASE, PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS AT WELLESLEY COLLEGE, TALKS ABOUT THE HOUSING INDUSTRY ON BLOOMBERG SURVEILLANCE

JULY 27, 2010

SPEAKERS:

KARL CASE, PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS, WELLESLEY COLLEGE

TOM KEENE, EDITOR-AT-LARGE, BLOOMBERG NEWS

KEN PREWITT, HOST, BLOOMBERG NEWS

9:28

TOM KEENE, EDITOR-AT-LARGE, BLOOMBERG NEWS: And now joining us from within the shadow of the Carpathian Mountains, on the edge of Count Dracula, we welcome Karl Case, Professor, Wellesley College. Good morning, sir.

KARL CASE, PROFESSOR OF ECONOMICS, WELLESLEY COLLEGE: Good morning, Tom.

KEENE: Why are you in Romania?

CASE: I was in Bulgaria for a wedding and I – a wedding of a former student, and I know the family of another former student who lives up here and they said come on up for a few days, and so we’re literally sitting five miles from Dracula’s castle.

KEENE: Well, very good. We’re looking at the American castle of the home that matters. These are good numbers. Are the Case-Shiller numbers of this month backward looking or forward looking?

CASE: Well, they’re a little backward looking because you’ve got the credit to take account of, but we don’t quite know how much backward looking – yes, they look pretty good. I mean they’re positive numbers, but they indicate the housing market is bouncing along the bottom and sort of – it’s like the little engine that could. It’s coming up to the hill. It’s starting to go uphill and it’s finding it tough sledding.

KEN PREWITT, HOST, BLOOMBERG NEWS: But there’s no more first-time homebuyers tax credit.

CASE: No, that’s going to go away. And if you try to back that out, it still looks like the trajectories positive. I mean if you look at – it went up, all the numbers went up in October-November, then they went down in January-February, then they came back in March and April and May and now a little bit of June. But there’s obviously softened since the end of the credit. And undoubtedly, it’s not going to be as robust. But the question is does it actually turn down or does it keep on this rocky road slightly upward. And there’s some – there are really some tough things to think about.

KEENE: I’m looking at the 3-month annualized statistics, Minneapolis, San Francisco, San Diego and Washington. I would say doing better than good. That’s a pretty slim lot. Would you see more join them in the next couple months or is this as good as it gets?

CASE: Well, I think if they stay positive in the next few months it will be a very good thing. I mean we’ve got – you’ve got a couple of things going on. One is this lack of households. I mean we’re just losing households somehow and I don’t think we’re keeping track of it very well. We’ve got people doubling up, people staying with Mom and Dad in this unemployment environment and people leaving, actually fewer immigrants and more – fewer coming in and more going out. So it’s – it’s a little tricky. The other thing is we’re not building anything, the starts are still bouncing around below 600,000 –

KEENE: Yes.

CASE: That’s the worst housing and that by the way, worldwide. I’ve been traveling in Eastern Europe and the housing market and the construction market is just stuck in the mud and going nowhere.

PREWITT: And that was the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange as we start a new trading day with the DOW up ten points right now at 10,535, up 100 in yesterday’s session.

KEENE: Karl Case joining us from Romania, thrilled to have him from Transylvania this morning as we look at the American housing market. Karl, just in one minute here and we’ll get you back. I mean, when you look at all of this noise that’s surrounding us, what would you say a year out? Do you have any crystal ball vision of the data that you and Bob Shiller go through?

CASE: Well, I a year out from now would like to see a reasonable recovery, but it depends on what the economy as a whole does and of course, the construction set during the housing market indigenous to that. So it’s – but I think if we don’t have a continued recovery by next year, we’ll know we’re in a double dip, and I don’t want to see that happen. I don’t believe it will happen, but it sure could.

KEENE: Karl Case with us, we’re thrilled to have him into the next half hour.

9:31

(BREAK)

9:33

KEENE: We’re thrilled to have Karl Case with us. You know him from Wellesley College and Case-Shiller. Of course, the legendary textbook Case- Fair, but right now he’s in Transylvania, Romania, thrilled at his effort to be with us this morning. Professor Case, Ken wants to dive into some of this house formation issue in our next longer block, but in this short block, what have we learned in the recent good news months about those beleaguered territories, the L.A.s of the world, the Las Vegas, the San Diego, the Arizonas of the world

Trooper Timothy Frew said the intentionally set fire at Rustic Acres Furniture in White caused more than $2 million in damage.

The business, owned by David and Donna Reed, was insured.

The store originated in DuBois in a renovated airplane hanger and moved to Indiana in 1999 in a restored dairy barn.

That doesn?t mean that you need

That doesn?t mean that you need to let every industry slime-bag from New York to LA ride roughshod all over your music project but there are ways to deal with the negative behavior in this business without branding yourself with a label equally as negative. Sending firm yet professional letters, making intelligent and informed phone inquiries and, if need be, taking legal action against those who have acted inappropriately are ways to handle unpleasant situations without drawing negative attention to yourself. Public scenes, yelling and screaming, long-winded and ranting emails, threats and accusations and spiteful actions may make you feel vindicated but it may chase away the good people as well as the bad and that just sets your band back.

4.) You Can?t Undo What You?ve Already Done—It?s much harder to undo past bad behaviors, or reverse negative reputations than it is to foster positive ones.
