In our January issue, we brought you blow-by-blow coverage of the 2006 Proximus 24 Hours of Spa, held last summer at the historic Spa-Francorchamps circuit in eastern Belgium. During the race, our European correspondent was given unprecedented access to the cars, drivers, and crew members that make up French GT powerhouse Team PSI Exprience. His observations provide an uncommon glimpse into the rarefied world of high-end professional motorsports.
When one of racing's great endurance events is practically held in your backyard, it would seem foolish not to take up the opportunity. With that in mind, Team PSI Exprience decides to take a breather from its usual campaigns in the FFSA GT and Le Mans series, take the short drive up the motorway, and enter the 58th running of the 24 Hours of Spa.
Ease of logistics aside, fielding a car for a 24-hour race is a massive undertaking-not least in the financial sense. To ease that particular burden, PSI will sport a somewhat different line-up than that to which we've become accustomed in FFSA. Into the team's C6.R steps local driver Fred Bouvy, alongside Jean-Phillipe Belloc, Jos Menton, and reigning French GT champ Patrick Bornhauser. The more familiar Finnish pairing of Markus Palttala and Pertti Kuismanen will now line up in the C5-R with Belgian drivers Bernard Dehez and Vincent Rademecker. With different levels of experience and abilities on display, a steady approach will be required. As circumstance would have it, being cautious and not chasing times is exactly the tactic the team will adopt.
As the only GT1 team on Dunlop rubber, PSI is well aware that when it comes to outright speed, they'll be in no position to challenge their Michelin-shod rivals. As Markus Paltalla says, "The Michelins are worth two seconds a lap over the Dunlops. In qualifying maybe three, so we have to be clever and conserve the tires as best we can." Any decent result will be achieved through a combination of stealth and discipline. As such, a strict time limit is set for the drivers. They're to aim for a 2:24 lap, with strict instructions not to go under 2:22.
Qualifying brings no surprises. The combined-time format sees the PSI Vettes lined up side-by-side in ninth and tenth-near the back of the GT1 field. This result is satisfactory all the same, particularly since the No. 34 C6.R had experienced a clutch failure during Friday's practice session. The team can't be sure whether the problem is due to a fitting or manufacturing error, so as a precaution, the entire gearbox is changed. The warm-up brings optimism. The cars are fifth and sixth quickest, though Jos Menton is complaining the new gearbox is feeling a bit stiff. It's a portent of things to come.
With just a few hours to go, it's hard to imagine that the two cars will be ready for the race. The sheer volume of human traffic makes the garages unimaginably chaotic. In the midst of it all, the cars are being stripped down and re-assembled for the race. Thanks to the organizational virtuosity of car managers Jerome Padoumont and Dennis Layher, the two pristine Vettes nose out through the crowds and make their way around to the grid on time. The drivers seem unfazed by the tumult, but team owner Phillipe Tillie is showing his nerves in the form of a furrowed brow he'll wear for the next 24 hours.
The first hour of the race flies by, and before we know it, the pit-crew members are donning their helmets and balaclavas. First in is the No. 36 C5-R. It's not a quick stop, at 1:10, but there are no mistakes, and Markus is away. With scarcely time to draw breath, the C6.R is upon us, and the crew goes back to work. Worried, Jos is reporting inconsistent gearbox pressure, with a stiff downshift and a slight misfire. After one hour, this is not a good sign.
Just more than three hours in and the first crisis: The C6.R is in unexpectedly, and Fred Bouvy is reporting an upshift problem. Alexandre Roberge from Pratt and Miller is analyzing the data in an attempt to determine the cause. It turns out there's a relatively simple explanation: A gearbox sensor is loose and is causing a short circuit. This has caused the gearbox to reset to the default settings, so the changes are taking 200 milliseconds rather than 70 to 80. This also explains the inconsistency in the gearbox pressure. It's a simple fix, and the car is out again and performing well.
The C5-R has some minor problems, too. Hugging the pit wall for the best line into Eau Rouge, Markus has tagged his pit board and damaged the rear wing. There is also minor damage to the right rear, where Vincent Rademecker ran into a GT2 Porsche. Fortunately, these are easy repairs, and the pit-board man still has all his fingers.
Shortly after 9 p.m. comes the first major crisis. The safety car is out because of an accident involving one of "our" cars. A broken valve causes the C6.R's right front tire to deflate, pitching Jos Menton into the barriers. Unable to engage Reverse, Jos waits 17 minutes for the marshals to push the car. The damage is repaired, and Patrick Bornhauser is soon lapping in the 2:23 range. No major damage is done, but six laps are lost, and the C6.R has tumbled down the order.

So I guess i'll move the question to a new thread.
When transferring data from a previous machine to a new machine, you open the old drive on the new machine and attempt to navigate to the previous user account in the documents and settings folder or users folder and the new Vista, 7 or 8 machine says that before you can access this folder it the OS must take ownership.
But if you boot into a bartpe environment and try to load that exact same folder, it will open up first try and the files are visible and copyable clear as day without taking any sort of ownership.
Charisma said
This happened with me when I recently set up a new build--set up the OS on a SSD and used the old drive with all my files on it as a secondary/storage drive. I'm just going through doing that as needed, but it's quite normal, since the files were created/owned by a different SID on a different system.
Because BartPE doesn't have to take ownership we know it's not a security measure of the file system on the previous drive. So we know it is possible to read files without taking ownership, is it the case that Vista, 7 and 8 cares to much? Or does it have something to do with UAC?

EGLIN AFB — When Pat Griffin's memorial was first dedicated nine years ago, it was taller than his children.
On Thursday, Makensie and Corey Griffin, now 12 and 14 years old, respectively, flanked the updated monument and pulled off a white sheet at their mother's whispered cue.
The monument honoring their dad, Staff Sgt. Patrick Griffin, was originally at the 728th Air Control Squadron. He was killed May 13, 2003, becoming Eglin Air Force Base's only casualty of the Iraq War.
See a gallery of photos from the service. >>
Because the 728th is being deactivated, it was decided to move the monument next to the Nomad Memorial, which honors Eglin's victims of the 1996 Khobar Towers bombing.
"It's absolutely beautiful," his wife Michelle Griffin said after the short rededication ceremony. "It's much more than I expected."
And with the ceremony, the closure Michelle has been seeking for nearly a decade inched closer.
"I see the finish line, right down there," she said, stretching out her hand and gazing past the memorial. "It's such a good opportunity for people to come together and remember Pat."
Pat's parents, Jodene and Pat Griffin Sr., sat in the front row between Air Force personnel and their daughter-in-law and grandchildren.
Afterward, his mom said she considered the ceremony a chance to celebrate her son's life, in contrast to the deep mourning they were in during the first dedication.
"He was a good boy," she said.
"Yeah, he was," his dad said.
"The best of the best," his mom added.
A photo of Pat was added to the memorial and the plaque was redone to include a quote from Corey and Makensie, who were 4 and 2 when Pat died.
"We miss you Daddy," the inscription reads in part.
Col. Andrew Toth, commander of the 33rd Fighter Wing, spoke of Pat's service and his death.
"Michelle, thank you for your sacrifice as a military wife," he said. "Corey and Makensie, I want you to know your father made lasting contributions for the benefit of others."
After the ceremony, the kids posed for pictures, one on either side of the monument.
Their memories of him have faded. Still, they were touched by his tribute.
"It was nice," Makensie said.
"It was kind of sad, too," her brother added.

The "City of Brotherly Love," a direct translation of its name from the Greek language, is one of the ten largest metropolitan areas in the United States. Philadelphia served as the nation's first capital and cultural center before being replaced in these roles by Washington, D.C., and New York City, respectively. Since the Industrial Revolution, the city has prospered as an important port and manufacturing center. Today, it's part of an economic corridor of large cities stretching down the East Coast from Boston to Washington, D.C.
"Philly" offers a full set of big-city amenities comparable to those of most major cities. In the late 17th century, William Penn laid out the city on a grid, one of the nation's first. Today the modern downtown is adjacent to a large historic district, anchored by Independence Hall and the waterfront. The majority of the land between the historic district and the Schuylkill River to the west resembles a typical large U.S. city with a mix of old and new structures. Large Fairmount Park contains many of the area's museums and historic buildings.
Across the Schuylkill in University Park, a college town within the city, are the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. With these two schools and nearby Temple University and Villanova, the area offers more than its share of quality higher education. Some of the city's strong traditions, such as its major-league sports teams and Philly cheesesteaks, are nationally famous.
Philadelphia is a city of neighborhoods. South Philadelphia has a mainly immigrant, working-class population, while North Philadelphia and areas west of University Park are rough and somewhat rundown. Some of the best older suburbs lie along the old Pennsylvania Railroad "Main Line" running to the west. These have spacious, shady neighborhoods with historic homes situated around small-town cores and railroad stations. These suburbs line the tracks west into suburban towns like Paoli, Malvern and Exton. These towns and many nearby have considerable historic interest, attractive topography and excellent housing values- especially compared to other Northeastern cities. Some towns off of the line, like West Chester and areas south towards the Delaware border are very livable with considerable local and nearby employment, excellent schools and family amenities.
Some of Philly's growth has also extended northwest to formerly placid areas like Valley Forge, with a mix of commercial and residential development resulting in some sprawl issues, but these areas are more attractive than comparable rapid-growth areas in other cities. To the north, the suburbs of Hatboro, Warminster, and Doylestown along former Reading Railroad lines offer good residential values as well. Transportation services, both within the metro area and between Philly and other places, are generally excellent; the Philadelphia International Airport is less crowded than most and served well by discount carriers.
The economy is diverse. Although not known for steel production like many of its Pennsylvania neighbors, the area is a center for several industries, most notably the chemical industry and financial services. Areas of New Jersey across the Susquehanna, particularly Camden, are mostly industrial. While employment has been fairly steady, future job-growth projections are low. Violent crime is high and summers can be uncomfortably warm and humid. However, the Cost of Living Index is low by regional standards, especially for an East Coast city. The outstanding cultural amenities, cost of living, and central East Coast location make Philly attractive and a good value overall,.
The downtown area is in a broad, flat valley. Rolling, hilly countryside stretches to the north and west. The Appalachian Mountains to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east moderate the otherwise continental climate. Weather is variable and extreme temperatures seldom last for more than 3 or 4 days. In summer, high humidity can add discomfort to seasonably warm temperatures, while stagnant maritime air can engulf the area. Precipitation is fairly evenly distributed throughout the year, with maximum amounts in late summer as thunderstorms. Snowfall is more abundant in the northern suburbs, while precipitation may arrive as rain rather than snow within the city. Coastal storms produce heavy snowfalls every few years.

NBC Nightly News broadcasted this story.
The anchor says there are ongoing investigations in Florida after the suspected hazing death of a drum major at a university known for its marching band. Questions remain about the death of the student on a bus and determining if there was a pattern of unchecked behavior that went on in the marching band. After the introduction, the anchor says the reporter has more on the story.
Footage of the marching band is shown, while the sound-on-tape of the reporter's voice says the marching band at A & M University in Florida is well known for their precision and has performed for President Barack Obama and sports professionals alike.
The recent alleged hazing scandal left 26-year-old Robert Champion, a drum major, dead. He was found unconscious on the bus 2 weeks ago, shortly after the band had performed at a football game in Orlando.
The viewer sees the reporter then and he says the exact cause of Champion's death remains unknown. The details are unclear, but the university has expelled 4 students for their alleged roles in the incident.
More accusations of abuse are emerging, including a police report made by an 18-year-old band member. Another former band member also sued and settled with the university, and described on camera how he was beaten with a wooden paddle.
Julian White, the band director at A & M, has been fired. "In all cases where I suspect there's hazing involved, I take immediate action," White told NBC in an interview on tape.
Champion's parents say they plan on suing the university. Their son's death also prompted Florida Gov. Rick Scott to have all state universities review their anti-hazing policies, which is a statement both heard and seen by the viewer from a press conference held by the governor. The president of A & M says he vows to eliminate hazing on the school's campus, says the reporter.

KB2775511 Hotfix Rollup has 90 hotfixes
I saw a posting from ZDNet Must-Read News today, with the following headline:
A hidden Patch Tuesday gem: A Windows 7 hotfix rollup
Even though Microsoft supposedly is done releasing service packs for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, the company is still doing hotfix rollups.
According to An enterprise hotfix rollup is available for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
"This hotfix rollup contains 90 hotfixes that were released after the release of SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. These hotfixes improve the overall performance and system reliability of Windows 7 SP1-based and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computers. We recommend that you apply this hotfix rollup as part of your regular maintenance routine and build processes for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 computers."
There is also an article about all this at
I am a big fan of the Patch Watch column, and this patch is not yet mentioned, and so I think I will hold off a bit.
In any case, this KB2775511 does not appear in the Windows Update offerings for my machine.
I just wondered if others here have applied it and would like to comment.
Thank you.
Posted 14 March 2013 - 01:39
Although Microsoft never officially announced that the Windows team will no longer be issuing service packs, that's widely believed to be the case. (Supposedly, the faster Windows iterations, starting with Windows Blue and Windows Server Blue, will replace service packs.)
As far as we Microsoft watchers know, Windows 7 Service Pack 1 was the one and only service pack for Windows 7 that Microsoft plans to release. (And Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 was the only SP planned for Windows Server 2008 R2, as far as we know.) But just because there are no more service packs, per se, doesn't mean the Softies aren't providing the rough equivalent of what consituted a service pack.
As part of the myriad fixes and updates that Microsoft released on March 13, this month's Patch Tuesday, is the Slow Boot Slow Login (SBSL) Hotfix Rollup for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2. This is a rollup of 90 hotfixes that were released after SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2. These fixes improve overall performance and system reliability of both operating systems.
Included are improvements to the Distributed File System Namespaces (DFSN) client, Folder Redirection, Offline Files and Folders, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI), SMB client and Group Policy, as detailed on the Ask Premier Field Engineering Platforms blog. The recommended steps for deploying the hotfix on both the client and Windows Server also is explained on the blog. The Knowledge Base article lists all 90 of the included hotfixes.
The direct download of the rollup is available here.direct download of the rollup is available here
As part of this week's Patch Tuesday updates, Microsoft also rolled out firmware updates for its Surface RT and Surface Pro tablet/PC hybrids.

text: Posted 3 Apr 2012 (edited) I don't know if there are any other Original Memphis Five fans here, but I think I just discovered a "new" record by them. I recently took a chance and spent five bucks on a 78 by the "Superior Jazz Band" on the early Bell label. According to the Rust discography, "Virginia Blues" and "Georgia" were recorded on April 18, 1922, but "Georgia" was rejected and remade on May 2. They were issued on three related labels, Arto, Bell (#P-144), and Globe. The instrumentation is the same as the OM5; Rust didn't know who the five musicians were, but noted that Ed Kirkeby directed the session. Kirkeby is best known as the manager of the California Ramblers and (later) Fats Waller, but also "managed first dates for the Original Memphis Five," according to John Chilton's Who's Who of Jazz. The first known record by the OM5 was Bell P-140, recorded some time in April, 1922; it was also issued under a pseudonym: The Original Dixieland Jazz Band! Which brings us to my record. I figured it was probably something pretty corny until I put it on the turntable today. My thoughts went like this: 1. "Wow - this is pretty good." 2. "That sounds like Phil Napoleon on trumpet." 3. "Is that Jimmy Lytell on clarinet?" 4. "Damn! I think this is the Original Memphis Five!" I compared the playing to that on the earliest OM5 record I had, from June, 1922 - it sure sounds like the same band. "Georgia" (by Walter Donaldson - the Hoagy Carmichael song hadn't been written yet) is excellent throughout. "Virginia Blues" starts well, but gets bogged down when it turns into a medley of "Southern" songs. The trombonist is a little stiff, but I don't know who else it could be except Miff Mole. He and Napoleon loosened up quite a bit on the band's 1923 recordings, but they both were slightly stiff on the 1922 records I've heard by them. I know this post is kind of esoteric, but I wanted this information (or at least informed speculation) to be on the web somewhere. I couldn't find anything in print or on the web linking this record to the Original Memphis Five. Edited 4 Apr 2012 by jeffcrom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

High Availability (HA) systems traditionally have been confined to large datacenters because of their high cost and the difficulty of scaling down clustered servers and shared storage arrays to support smaller environments such as Small Office Home Office (SOHO) and Remote Business Office (ROBO).
Microsoft and LSI are changing that.
As part of Windows Server® 2012, Microsoft and LSI collaborated on the development of the innovation called Cluster in a Box (CiB). With CiB, HA systems are now available for SOHO and ROBO applications. At AIS, we're demonstrating our Syncro® CS High Availability controller in a clustered server system.
Our demo shows how Syncro CS, with its easy-to-deploy yet powerful automatic failover, helps protect and provide cost-effective continuous access and availability to your valuable data. The solution now supports both Linux® and Windows® OS environments.
Last June, we launched Syncro CS solutions with a demo at the Microsoft® Tech Ed Conference. The demo featured a Syncro CS discrete server cluster using two servers, two Syncro CS controllers and a JBOD. Each server was loaded with Windows Server 2012 in a cluster. Syncro CS controllers enabled the shared storage. The entire system was interconnected with a "backbone communications" system provided through a SAS interface. Each server was running Microsoft Server 2012 Hyper-V with a virtual machine (VM) housing Counterstrike 1.6 server. Basically, the Counterstrike server was built into a Syncro CS High Availability server cluster. Clients accessed the game with Microsoft Surface Tablets.
When one of the servers was turned off, the automatic failover engaged and the tablet users never were aware of the "failure."
Our AIS demo uses RHEL 6.4 Linux as the native OS running the KVM hypervisor with a Windows Server 2012 VM. Microsoft Surface Tablets access the Counterstrike server housed in the Windows VM.
The demonstration highlights the option for administrators to use Linux as the native operating system for each server while running Windows applications in HA architectures.
At AIS, we're also excited about our panel discussion "Delivering a Paradigm of High Availability" featuring several industry experts and thought leaders. On the panel are Michael Steineke, VP Information Technology, Edgenet; Trenton Baker, VP Business Development, DataOn; Gene Lee, CEO, EchoStreams; John Loveall, Principal Program Manager, Microsoft Windows Server, Microsoft Corporation; Greg Kleiman, Director Strategy, Storage Business Unit, Red Hat; and Rick Reisner, Product Line Director, Datacenter Solutions Group, LSI.
The panel will discuss market needs for HA storage, offer their perspectives on product deployment, and discuss potential future HA use cases and product developments.

MLS and adidas unveiled the 2014 Match Ball on Sunday.
The 2014 adidas MLS Match Ball which is based on the "Brazuca," the official ball for the 2014 FIFA World Cup. According to MLS, the colors are meant to represent "a heart, as the ball is the heart of the soccer and MLS."
What are your thoughts on the new MLS match ball?
On Friday, I told you that the U.S. National Team's draw into Group G with Germany, Portugal and Ghana at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil isn't an impossible one, and LA Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena seems to agree.
In his latest article in the Los Angeles Times, Arena states that the U.S. will be competitive and even states that he expects them to advance from the Group.
Arena's choices to advance from the groups are as followed, but remember they are not necessarily the positions that the teams will finish.
Group A: Brazil and Croatia. Group B: Spain and Netherlands. Group C: Colombia and Ivory Coast. Group D: Uruguay and Italy. Group E: Ecuador and France. Group F: Argentina and Nigeria. Group G: Germany and United States. Group H: Belgium and Russia.
Arena's choices several months out led me to make my own decisions which you can see below. Now remember that these could -- and probably will -- change as the months go by.
Group A: Brazil and Mexico. Group B: Spain and Netherlands. Group C: Colombia and Japan. Group D: Uruguay and Italy. Group E: France and Honduras. Group F: Argentina and Nigeria. Group G: Germany and United States. Group H: Belgium and Russia.
LA Galaxy center back Omar Gonzalez has been featured on the cover of the latest edition of Overlap magazine.
In addition to being placed on the cover, Gonzalez is the subject of a piece titled "The Happiest Man in Los Angeles County" is a selection of photos by New York photographer Matt Rubin.
A teaser photo of Omar playing a mean air saxophone can be seen below.
Check out the piece in its entirety as well as the rest of the magazine here.
The U.S. National Team will be testing themselves against the likes of Ghana, Portugal and Germany at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil next summer and are already relishing the opportunity to tackle a "Group of Death."
During a media scrum at a World Cup draw watch party at Sporting Park in Kansas City, Omar Gonzalez and other U.S. national team members remarked about the Americans' placement in Group G. One highlight for Gonzalez will be another chance to take on one of the planet's finest players in Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo.
"I faced him for the Galaxy once before and that was fun, but I think he's going to be even harder playing for his country in this tournament," Gonzalez told reporters of his bouts with Ronaldo in 2010 and 2012 friendlies. "I think it's going to be awesome and it should be a fun time."
Even though Gonzalez will be looking to make his first-ever World Cup roster, the Galaxy defender admitted that he correctly anticipated where the U.S. would fall upon learning the first two participants in Group G.
"Once Germany and Ghana got paired together I figured this is probably going to be us," Gonzalez admitted. "Fate's going to align, and it's all going to happen."
CARSON, Calif. – Clint Mathis knows a little something about playing – and excelling – at the World Cup and after watching the U.S. National Team's draw for the 2014 edition in Brazil, he believes the Americans can advance from their "Group of Death."
Mathis, who appeared in two games during the U.S. National Team's run to the quarterfinals of the 2002 World Cup, which included a stunning goal against South Korea helping the Americans to a 1-1 draw. During that tournament, the Americans faced two of their opponents for 2014 as they defeated Portugal 3-2—with Mathis watching from the bench—in their group stage opener while falling 1-0 to eventual tournament runner-up Germany in the quarterfinals.
Mathis' thoughts on the U.S. National Team's World Cup draw for Brazil is below…
MATHIS: "Obviously, we've definitely seen quite a few of these teams in the last few World Cups. Obviously, Germany is going to be a favorite, but I think in the past, the U.S. has done well against those guys. The one particular team that they haven't been too successful with is Ghana, but being knocked out of the last two World Cups by the same team, maybe the third time is the charm for the U.S. It's going to be the first game so I think that a lot will be on the line, but if the U.S. can get a result in that first game that would definitely change the whole outcome of the group. Then there's Portugal, who we were successful against in 2002 in the first group stage game. It's two different teams though and Portugal is not a team that you can sit back on. It's in my opinion, the toughest group if not the toughest then it is the second toughest. If you're playing in a World Cup, it's never easy so I don't think there's not too much to worry about because every game is going to be tough no matter what group you're in. The good thing is if the U.S. gets out of this group stages, I think it should be easier when normally it gets harder."
(On what is running through the players' minds about facing Ghana once again…)
MATHIS: "I think there's a lot of excitement. If you look at guys like Landon or other guys who have been put out by the same team, I think there's a lot of excitement on the revenge side. They're saying 'hey, we've got them in a group stage not a knockout stage' so I think there's some excitement to get some revenge because you can say 'hey, you know what. Everyone is already going to count us out, we're the underdogs' and I think that's not a bad mindset to go into this World Cup like we've got nothing to lose because no one is thinking that the U.S. can get out of his group right now."
(On whether the U.S. group stage is similar to what he faced during the 2002 World Cup…)
MATHIS: "I think so. Everyone thought that the U.S. had no chance to get out of our group and we did well. I think there is something to say because these other teams are going to be fighting too. Portugal is sitting saying 'why am I in this group?' Ghana is saying the same thing and Germany is going 'are you kidding me?' Anything can happen in these games and no one is going to want to play against the U.S. per say because of the athleticism and the results that they could turn out. I think that it is going to be a tough group and I don't think that any of the teams are too excited to be in this group."
It couldn't have gotten much harder for the U.S. National Team at the FIFA World Cup Draw as they were drawn into a "Group of Death" in Group G against Germany, Ghana and Portugal. However, at a closer glance, the draw is not a mission impossible for Jurgen Klinsmann's group.
The U.S. opens the World Cup in Brazil on June 16 against Ghana at the Arena das Dunas in Natal. The match is undoubtedly the most important one for the U.S. as they must get past the team that eliminated them from the past two World Cups in order to have a reasonable chance to advance from the group. As the U.S. are well-aware, the Black Stars are a major challenge as they have a mix of physicality and technical skill that should give the Americans a major test. That being said, if the U.S. midfield can control the game and the Americans can capitalize on their opportunities, they may get past the African side.
In their second game, the U.S. will face Portugal in the Amazonian outpost of Manaus on June 22. Not only must the Americans best a side that boasts one of the world's finest players in Cristiano Ronaldo, they must deal with the crippling heat and humidity of the Amazon. In June, the average temperatures in Manaus are typically in the high-80's with more than 80 percent humidity, which promises to be a muggy game that could favor an American squad that should be better acclimated to the conditions due to a potentially high presence of North American-based players. However sticking to strictly on the field matters, Portugal may seemlike a stiff test, but the nation struggled during UEFA World Cup qualifying as they finished second in their group to Russia—with two draws against Israel as well as a draw against Northern Ireland—before defeating Sweden in a playoff to advance to Brazil.
Lastly, The U.S, have traditional powerhouse Germany in the final game on June 26 in Recife is the Americans' best case scenario as they should face a German team that may already have a ticket into the second round. Against a German team that could be loaded with reserves, the U.S. should be able to stay competitive against a side that promises to be organized and immensely talented.
What will make their draw even more difficult is the immense travel that they must undertake for all three matches. With three games in Natal, Manus and Recife, the U.S. could travel nearly 9,000 miles round trip during their Group G campaign. The one benefit for the Americans however is that their MLS players should be accustomed to immense travel as well as heat and humidity, however, the benefit of charter flights should cut down on the exhaustion.
My prediction for a best case—and relatively realistic— scenario for the U.S. is a simple one: a victory against Ghana coupled with a Germany win over Portugal during the first match day. In the second match day, the U.S. must earn a draw—or a close win—against Portugal with a Germany victory over Ghana in the second day setting up a draw or close loss to an already qualified Germany in the final match day. If the Americans can find a way to earn points in their first two games, at the very least, they should negate the impact of Portugal's final match against Ghana.

Chicago Fire forward Mike Magee was voted the 2013 Volkswagen MLS MVP award on Thursday with his former LA Galaxy teammate Robbie Keane finishing second in the voting.
Magee was tremendously succcessful in 2013 as he scored 21 goals and four assists in a year that included a May trade from the LA Galaxy to his hometown Fire who narrowly missed out on the postseason. The 29-year-old ran away with the voting -- which was preformed by club employees, players and media -- earning a weighted total of 98.81 while Keane earned a weighted total of 58.57 finishing second to Magee. Montreal Impact forward Marco Di Vaio and New York Red Bulls midfielder Tim Cahill finished third and fourth respectively in the voting
Magee becomes the second MLS MVP that did not make the playoffs joining D.C. United's Dewayne De Rosario who won the award in 2011.

"The King's Speech" Shines New Light on Stuttering
Imagine yourself as the student giving a report in front of the class, a business leader making a critical presentation to shareholders or the British monarch striving to assure and inspire your subjects during a war that changed the world. Imagine what it's like when stuttering makes it a struggle to communicate your thoughts to those around you.
Travis Threats, Ph.D., chair of Saint Louis University's department of communication sciences and disorders, says the new movie "The King's Speech" is raising awareness, increasing understanding and perhaps shattering some misconceptions about stuttering.
|Travis Threats, Ph.D.
"Speech-language pathologists, including researchers in stuttering, have been moved by this film," Threats said. "The key to the movie is how one's speech does not define what one is inside."
Threats adds that too many movies use stuttering as a metaphor or an outward symptom of a deeper problem - either intelligence or one's emotional state. Golden Globe-winning actor Colin Firth's portrayal of England's King George VI presents a poignant view of a great man, a naval hero and loving father, who is thrust into sudden leadership when his brother abdicates the throne, and whose lmage as a leader is affected by his stuttering.
"Here is a man with a great fear of public speaking who agrees to be king and to give an address to the entire nation because of a sense of a higher calling to lead his country," Threats said.
"And he is very brave. How many people would ever publicly do something at which they could fail miserably and have been laughed at for in the past. He is a great man in danger of not being seen as great because of his speech."
For Threats and many other speech-language pathologists, "The King's Speech" reaffirms why they chose their profession.
"We know that those affected by stuttering deserve a voice and acknowledgement for all that they are capable of contributing to society," Threats said.
"Much like Michelangelo's belief that a sculpture was already in a piece of marble and that his gift was to see the art that was there and chip away the excess so that the rest of the world could see it, speech pathologists chip away at what they can of the person's communication disorder to allow them, and others, to see what lies within."
Facts About Stuttering
- Stuttering is a communication disorder in which the flow of speech is broken by repetitions, prolongations or abnormal stoppages of sounds and syllables and can include unusual facial and body movements associated with the effort to speak.
- The four factors most likely to contribute to the development of stuttering include genetics, child development issues, neurophysiology and family dynamics. Stuttering may occur when a combination of factors come together and may have different causes in different people. It is probable that what causes stuttering differs from what makes it continue or get worse.
- An estimated three million Americans stutter with approximately five percent of all children going through a period of stuttering that last six months or more. Stuttering affects four times as many males as females.
- Famous people who have stuttered, and lived very successful lives, include actors James Earl Jones and Marilyn Monroe, singers Carly Simon and Mel Tillis, news correspondent John Stossel, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and author John Updike.

Avid car magazine readers may have realized that each of their favorite newsstand publications, everything from STREET RODDER to CLASSIC TRUCKS magazines, prints a couple paint and body issues a year, predictably. No, it's not because of global warming, there's actually a simple reason why: Paint and body issues tend to do well on the newsstands.
We feel that these types of articles not only feed the veteran hot rodder's passion to rejuvenate old iron, but paint and body stories must even inspire that random grocery store patron who may have a classic in their garage they've been meaning to work on. Simply being inspired to get moving on your own build is a valuable asset to have going for you, so as editors we like to think we deal in said inspiration. We enjoy sharing the findings of our car research, in hopes to get you, the reader, moving on your own muscle car or classic project. Whether we are inspiring you to build a new engine or, in this case, improving your car's aesthetics, we hope our words and pictures give you the kick in the pants you need to get working on your project car.
In the following pages we compiled a bunch of paint and body ideas we gathered while planning to clean up our own '63 Nova project. Nicknamed "The Hellion", this two-door hardtop is a perfect specimen for showing off bodywork and paint problems. Although the floor is un-rusted, the body is straight, and most of the trim is in place (even the rare hood emblem piece with the cast letters that spell "Chevrolet"), there are about seven rot holes in the car's body that need some patch repairs and the curdled cream paintjob has just got to go. Besides looking into the general bodywork it's going to need to become a respectable muscle car, we also plan on adding some custom touches to the car that you could also use on your own ride; things like custom trim molding and powdercoated bumpers as an alternative to chrome.
We contacted a few high-end body shops such as Quigley's Auto Body and O.C. Cars in Lake Forest, California, recently to get some inside info on products, tools, and techniques to use when repairing the paint and body of old cars. Think of the following pages as an oil pump primer for your paint and body ideas, something to get the gears grinding in your mind of paint schemes and styles. Hey, we learned something about bodywork in the last couple weeks, maybe you will too after reading this.
When it comes to fitting body panels and doors, many bodymen look for consistent distance between all the door and fender gaps. Quigley's Auto Body in Lake Forest, California, is regarded as a top-tier body shop in the Southland. Bruce Berry says, body panel fitment and gap consistency depends on quite a few factors. "Every car is different," Berry says. "Sometimes it takes 15 minutes to get the panels straight (which basically consists of loosening and tightening various panel bolts until the panel gaps are equal), and sometimes it takes eight hours." Depending on how picky you are, getting body panel gaps square can be costly. On older cars, because oftentimes they've been in accidents, the body panels become mated to a particular car. When a customer wants to fit a fender from another car, although being the same year, it can be a bear to get the gaps equal. When they are too far off, some body shops will actually remove material or add material to the gaps to ensure they are straight, however, like we mentioned, that can be time consuming for the body tech, and costly for the customer, so it really comes down to budget. You can always try to align them yourself, it just takes patience. Also, Berry pointed out that even aftermarket panels sometimes need more "massaging" to get right, as opposed to a factory panel that's relatively straight.
There is a trio of basic types of paint available for autos today: enamel, acrylic urethane, and water-based. We won't count lacquer paint as it's illegal in almost all states, just know that every old car painter you talk to will reminisce about how great lacquer was back in the day and nothing can stand up to it today. We guess it's pretty toxic, so nowadays lacquer-based paints are nearly extinct in the hot rod and muscle car world.

Worldwide tablet shipments totaled 27.8 million units in the third quarter of 2012 (3Q12), according to preliminary data from the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Tablet Tracker. The tablet market grew 49.5% year over year in 3Q12 and 6.7% over the second quarter of 2012. Android shipments, led by Samsung and Amazon, surged during the quarter, at the expense of Apple, which saw its share slip notably during the quarter.
Apple's slowdown put a sizeable dent in the company's commanding worldwide market tablet share, which slipped from 65.5% in 2Q12 to 50.4% in 3Q12. The remaining top five tablet vendors all gained share during the quarter as a result. Most notable was the impressive quarter turned out by Samsung—driven by its Galaxy Tab and Note 10.1. Samsung shipped 5.1 million tablets worldwide in 3Q12, up 115.0% from 2Q12; that's an increase of 325.0% from 3Q11, when it shipped 1.2 million tablets.

Steelers unveil Immaculate Reception MonumentPosted by on December 22, 2012 – 5:53 pm
History was re-visited on Saturday afternoon when the Steelers' celebrated the 40th Anniversary of the Immaculate Reception by unveiling a monument on the exact spot where the iconic play took place.
The Immaculate Reception, which occurred on Dec. 23, 1972 in a 13-7 win against the Oakland Raiders, has been selected the greatest play in NFL history by NFL Films and Franco Harris and Frenchy Fuqua, two of the key components in the play, were on hand for the unveiling.
"It makes me feel good and hopefully it will make everybody feel good," said Harris of seeing the monument., located just outside of Stage AE on General Robinson Street. " I smile when I think about it. What makes you feel better is we know all of the great years that were to follow. That brings a bigger smile to your face looking at the next 39 years."
Steelers' President Art Rooney II, Steelers Chairman Dan Rooney, and many of Harris and Fuqua's teammates were on hand for the celebration, which will continue at halftime of the Steelers-Bengals game on Sunday.
"Its great to have this mark the spot where the reception happened because it's such a great part of Steelers history," said Harris. "They did a great job.
"When I hear (Steelers' radio play-by-play commentator) Jack Fleming make that call it still brings goose bumps. I just love it when he says 'hold on to your hats.' So much happened with that play, the emotions afterwards. Everything surrounding it….it was a great day, still is a great feeling and all of the excitement surrounding it."

Anywhere I could . I won't go into specifics to avoid incriminating myself (just to be 'safe'), but pretty much the only things I refused to do was 1) sell my body and 2) steal from my drug-using friends (if I ripped them off, well... no more drugs, right?)
Where do you get $500 a day? (no offense, assuming you don't have a job since you're at your peak)
What made you decide to go u-turn?

Good luck with the not-drinking It can be very challenging at times.
I've got one for you: Why did you quit? Obviously I commend you on doing so, but what made you stop? Did people say something to you? Did they throw you in to rehab? Did you just wake up one day and think, "I want to change who I am"?
I ask partly for myself. I can be a heavy drinker, and then two friends in the past 2 weeks separately suggested that I take a break (note: neither of these two people know one another, so there was no discussion between them). Sure enough, as of Saturday morning I haven't had a drink, and my plan is to not have a drink for a month, so it will come to an end in October. But if I ask, "am I doing this for myself?" the answer is most definitely "no." I'm doing it because two separate people suggested it, and I want to show them that there is no problem.
Another question just came to mind: How was it, quitting at the beginning? I imagine it got easier over time?
For me, the break in my drinking hasn't affected me too much so far. I get annoyed quicker and I feel like snapping over the simplest of things (this is especially true at work). I've also found it harder to engage with my friends sometimes because my brain doesn't shut down, so while they're talking I'm either still thinking about work, or something else that's happening in my life. Yesterday there were a couple of occasions in the pub where someone started speaking, I zoned out with my own thoughts and then came back to the room just in time for my friend to stop speaking and look at me for some sort of answer.
