Hue is taking over the "play by play" while dB goes into the hearing room for the first time.
TBV types much faster than I do but I'll give it a shot.
Someone asked about how the Landis camp "monitors" the testimony in French and the answer is that Arnie Baker is a native of Quebec and is fluent in French...... keep the cards and letters coming!!!
We are about to begin at about 2:40.

What was a daily roundup became an "irregular report" of links with specific Landis interest, with brief comment. We avoided bashing, gushing, or gross stupidity. Unless it was funny.
We're still around for mail, but don't expect much or quick response. Thanks!
Comments are welcome, but may be edited/moderated or deleted for propriety and relevance. The decision of the judges is final. Your milage may vary, taxes and license additional.
"As always, Trust but Verify has the best coverage, if you want to delve into it." (Doucheblog)
"Floyd Landis: Blog on Landis Doping Allegations" (LA Times [better than nothing])
Total Poindexter Website Prize: to the fabulous geniuses over at trustbutverify, who not only are perhaps the most impassioned defenders of Floyd Landis' virtue beyond only the boy himself, but actually seem to understand the detailed scientific arguments they put out that the rest of us (well, me) are too stupid to even coherently summarize. Floyd, you better be innocent, or you owe these folks a *major* freakin' apology! (racejunkie)

"Who does awards for blogs? I sense a nomination is in order." (Carlton Reid, of BikeBiz)
"Hands-down champion of full-and I mean full-coverage of this hearing is the blog Trust But Verify. You'll have to have excellent background knowledge of the issues, and wade through page after page of detail to get to anything interesting, but it's raw and unfiltered and all there. The guy who runs the site, a cycling fan from Northern California, began casually providing a clearinghouse for Landis case news nearly 10 months ago, and now he has the haunted look of a man whose life has been hijacked and wants it back. (Loren Mooney, co-author of Positively False, at Bicycling)"thank you for you balanced look at what is happening with floyd." (Michael Farrington. Green Mountain Cyclery, Ephata, PA.)
"This genuine Floyd basher would like to thank you for the hard work you put into this great resource." (Spinopsys Phil)
" Trust but Verify, the essential clearinghouse blog about the Landis case" (Mark McClusky of Wired magazine)
"if you want the latest news on the Floyd Landis case, Trust but Verify is the go-to site. The author is biased in favor of Floyd (so am I) but the reporting is neutral and comprehensive." (12string musings)"Great blog. You're tagged. " (BikingBis. Great, more work)
[More...]Thanks to Free Floyd for the idea, and Groklaw for some inspiration.
PK/Strbuk is similarly inclined.Bill Hue is a passionate about fairness and justice, and is relatively indifferent to Landis' guilt or innocence
Marc is an American living in Paris.
If someone who leans towards guilt would like to contribute directly, please inform us.
Sharing a diversity of viewpoints is the best way we know of to arrive at the truth.

Any word on who the new translator is? Did both sides agree to the new person?
How does Landis' team use the time when there are delays like this?
Bill,
Thanks for the follow up. Answer could not be better: A french speaker who also is on top of the technical side. Hope his handwriting is better than the normal Doc for notes to be passed to the attorneys!
pcrosby
wow Bill, you are very fast posting this stuff!
Absolutely fantastic, Thanks!! :)
Off-topic, but Lance Armstrong was just on "The Situation Room" on CNN talking about HPV vaccine, and was asked about Landis at the end of the interview, LA said "I believe him; I believe in him."
bamalaw
Bill you are the best, you do it all. And I knew there was something I liked about that Arnie Baker!! C'est bon!!
str
parisian french is different than quebecois, but i still feel better that Arnie's there. the first guy was atrocious.
kepp up the good work, bill. i have faith in your fingers!
oh -- and regarding Pem's question about asking if the witness felt there was any chance Floyd was innocent. isn't that one of the no-no questions unless you know the answer? or is that only considered such in a trial by jury?
Anybody interested, make sure you read the newest piece from Michael Hiltzik of the L.A.Times. The link is http://www.latimes.com/sports/la-sp-landis16may16,1,7619418.story?coll=la-headlines-sports&track=crosspromo
I don't know how format that properly on this comments page, but hopefully you can cut and paste.
Hiltzik says Suh scored big in his cross examination of Brenna earlier. This kind of article helps you not get lost in the blurr of the questioning. Some say Hiltzik is biased toward Landis, but he IS a Pulitzer Prize winner and knows this case very well.
