For Friday youtubeness to mess with your head:

That first link is broken Russell.

You can bet Hamish Carter ate at least as many calories as David Lange, and it's likely that wiry little Sarah Ulmer eats as much as the morbidly obese Dawn French.
I would expect they'd both eat massive amounts more calories. When my brother trained for his karate black belt, they put him on a diet that was twice as many calories as the recommended amount. Of course he was exercising 3 hours a day, so it all got used up. When he got the grading, cut back the exercise, he didn't adjust the diet properly, and whoops - hullo tummy!
Also the nature of the food would be important. Hamish Carter, when in full training mode, would be on a very healthy diet. Probably no alcohol, low sugar, high in fruits and vegetables and carbs, low in fat. He'd just be downing a lot more than a person not burning it up as much.

Cricinfo needs to stick some advertising on O'Brien's blog. The blog itself (a decent page or so in length) takes up about 1/10th of the web page. Must be a few hundred comments there in 13 hours.

That really does sound like my iBook. I'm wondering how easy it would be to order the part though. And is there a diagram somewhere of the part in situ?
You'll probably find that there's youtube videos showing geeks replacing the part that you need.

a judicial direction for KEEPING dna material for at least 30 years would be a bloody good thing-
You can't just keep the DNA material, which would be relatively easy to do. If you're going to use that DNA material in a trial to convict someone, you need all the other evidence for that trial. Evidence for a murder trial might take up 10 - 20 metres of storage space in an evidence lockup.
Police unfortunately don't have infinite storage space, and they have to eventually make decisions about which cases to keep evidence for, and which to destroy.
(the case under discussion is a little different. Lots of evidence was destroyed through other means, ie the house being destroyed).

And why is it the prosecution always goes first
I think that's because it's difficult to defend yourself until you've heard the evidence against you.

At six wicket downs before lunch I'd have to say it's pretty average stuff.
Great to see that Vettori is leading a fairly streaky recovery effort this afternoon. We like him as a captain.

Yeah, Kyle, I get that aspect, but wasn't that what was done in the original trial?
Well obviously not, as it was quashed. So we now are back to the same state legally as just after the crime was committed - a suspect, not yet tried.
I just think we need to remind ourselves of the principles as much as we look at the practicalities.
Could be just me I thought getting to the truth was of primary importance. Not getting someone/anyone before the courts.
I didn't say someone or anyone, I said the criminal. Whether or not David is that person, I have no idea. The police obviously think that he is.

On the other hand, one of the things a sporting event can do is draw attention to injustices or human rights abuses.
On the other other hand, witness all the crap that China did to people because the Olympics were coming - knocking down their houses etc.

Oh FFS.
