Maybe the uncle uses the Hollywood style "clinic" to earn money from celebs or the wealthy to fund outreach clinics. That building and secretary seem too glitzy. Maybe we are being setup by Evans.
He will grow and adapt, the human's greatest characteristic.
I agree. He absolutely should.
Gunther IS good, agreed. But I think he'll get chewed up by our world which both expects him to promote himself wisely and assertively and be savvy about the schemes of others. He believes in the Golden Rule, which few people really follow. Another way to put it: "If you snooze, you lose." Sorry Gunther old buddy – hope you get that wake up call early.
A number of my friend's kids have done Americore after college didn't work. I've heard only positive reviews about the experiences.
If hasn't been said, Peace Corp does mostly require a 4 year degree or very special skills.
"…All are thrilled when a decent man…"
I think you raise a perspective of needs and thoughts that should be thought through and appreciated. I haven't walked a mile in those shoes, that's true. And maybe we're not giving credit to Gunth for the guy he is. Not gay certainly, but obviously very sensitive, expressive, and very needy. It would be a fair question to ask what does Rosa see in him at their ages. Women appreciating "nice guys", not to mention guys pretty immature, needy and insecure, are usually older, more mature. As a nice guy, he's very needy and insecure, even more than we thought. Maybe Quill, the nice guy that is not needy or insecure will model that confidence for him this "year." But the Luann conflict may take Greg's center stage.
It's just that these situations seem contrived. But its just a comic strip, let's all have fun.
I'm going to have to side with you completely on this one. Are we in some bizarro universe? Isn't this the first time Gunther has been more excited than anxious about anything, even Rosa?
Making a nice salsa are we?
In Frank's mind: Luann marries Q and moves to A. Those tickets cost a bundle. See ya once a year, maybe. Bye Bye Mrs. Quill.

Create partition in W7 HB
i got a new hp laptop which already as 3 partitions. C:, Recovery (D) and Local Disk (Q).
1-Since iam very new, i want to know can i take a Backup of the Recovery(D) in DVDs and restore the space (capacity) to C drive??? Or is it necessary to have it in the system???
2-When i try to make a partition from C drive, the same old prob of getting Dynamic disk conversion comes up...Now dat i got back all the unallocated partition back to C,(thanks to seven forums) how do i create another new partition???
I tried checking with other posts but was unable to understand..
|My System Specs
|26 Jun 2012
Best method with HP preinstalls which have the System Reserved partition is to convert C to Logical, shrink it to add as many adjacent Logical partitions as you want. Use only the Partition Wizard bootable CD:
How to set partition as Primary or Logical.
Partition Wizard Resize Partition Video Help.
Partition Wizard Create Partition Video Help
This keeps the HP tools and Recovery partitions operable. Be sure to make your HP Recovery Disks first to use as a backup to the preferred method of running Recovery from its partition at boot: HP Recover Windows 7 Operating System Using HP Recovery - HP Customer Care (United States - English)
Be aware that HP has the industry's worst load of corrupting bloatware and useless factory utilties which have better versions built into Windows 7. You should Clean Up Factory Bloatware at a minimum, but most tech enthusiasts choose to Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7

Fretting Googler retracts anti-Google+ rant
What's the relevant level of cynicism?
Can't work out if this is viral marketing or not.
I know that even negative news stories always specify Facebook and Twitter if they can (even on the BBC where they shy away from specifying brands in other markets) so could this be a way of raising the profile of Google+ which might be better than others if anyone actually used it?

Nanotubes, sulfur expand battery storage
On 24 November 2000 the Royal Society of Chemistry issued this press release, which accepts sulfur as the standard form, and which is presumably the base for the COD's recommendation in 2001:
Sulphur or sulfur?
An internationally agreed nomenclature is essential for science. This ensures that scientists can communicate with each other clearly, and consistent nomenclature is increasingly important as scientific information is searched electronically. For chemistry the standards are agreed by IUPAC [International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry]. In 1990 it was recommended by IUPAC that the spelling of sulfur would use 'f' instead of 'ph' and at the same time the spellings aluminium and caesium were recommended instead of aluminum and cesium (the spellings in common use in the USA). Interestingly, in 18th and 19th century Britain it was commonplace for sulfur to be spelt with either an 'f' or 'ph'.

'iPhone 4 to be free' when new iPhones ship
@Stike Vomit
"get over yourselves, you Apple worshiping bell-ends!"
I don't have an iPhone or any other Apple computer and I have more El Reg downvotes from the tards that do than those that don't - I'd like to think my Apple-worshipping credentials are pretty shoddy.
But it's mad to deny the fact that they have established a brand that people admire.
Pull out an iPhone and people will go "Ooh, is that an iPhone?"
Pull out an Android phone and people will go "Ooh, is that an iPhone?"
Bar a few geeks no one is going to be impressed by you owning one of the alternatives.
That this is true doesn't mean the iPhone's better, just more widely desired.
Apple are well positioned
The cachet of owning one means that they can bump the older models down the price bands to hoover up the cost-sensitive purchasers without having to worry about people not upgrading.
If an iPhone 3GS was brought down to the price of, say, the Orange San Francisco it'd take an idealogical commitment to stay away from Apple.

No one said this shouldn't be done - there were just a few jokes about this sort of text and then someone got all sniffy about atheists shoving their views down everyone's throats and that riled those amongst them who are a bit tired of being told that they are the only people who must not do this, especially when they are just having a bit of fun.
I would imagine that all the atheists believe it goes without saying that preserving ancient documents of all sorts is just a Good Thing.

British warming to NUKES after Fukushima meltdown
"Only a Guardian reader could think that "the original Guardian article" was actually the primary source for an opinion poll."
I didn't think that - I guessed you might have been alerted to the poll by your colleague at the Guardian who wrote that article earlier in the day and thought mentioning it might, well ... I thought I'd mention it anyway and not just because it was better.
"What the poll certainly indicates is that people are more rational than scaremongers suggest – and perfectly capable of performing risk analysis, weighing up the costs and benefits of a technology. "
How irrational do these scaremongers suggest 'people' are?
And how does this show people are more rational than that?
And how do you know that this 41% minority is performing risk analysis? Is everyone who agrees with you (and me, as it happens) automatically and retrospectively brilliant?
"It's a striking contrast to Germany, where politicians bowed to the "Green" fringe "
It might be a stark contrast to Germany but we don't know because if there has been a similar poll there it isn't referenced.
There'd only be a stark contrast to what you say if our govt. determinedly rejects the Green "fringe" (not that painting this as a sensible, car driving, Top Gear types against sandal eating Greens is either helpful or accurate) and builds more nuke plants.
This is a silly, biased, patronising analysis and doesn't advance the cause of nuclear power one inch. The original Guardian article is better http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2011/sep/09/nuclear-power-popular-in-uk

Green energy and jobs will cripple the UK economy
For the reply, Steve.
I assumed that the Danes have also increased demand so if they have managed to supply that with wind power rather than any other sort then wind for them is working (maybe not well or efficiently but to some extent).
I'm just trying to get a handle on this issue which is nigh on impossible with opinions polarised as they are.
Now, let me ask the Reg readers if I should buy an Apple laptop . . .
Not doubting anyone's figures
But the argument seemed to switch in an instant from 'wind power does not work' to 'the Danes make wind power work for them but their electricity is expensive' which is not quite the same thing.
Is wind power buffered by hydro a workable option? Is it a workable option here given UK geography?
How much would energy prices have to rise to make it economically viable?
Amazon's cloudy vid-tablet breaks cover: Not an iClone
Would you still buy and iPad if there was a good enough alternative that was considerably cheaper?
I'd guess Amazon is mainly interested in getting people tied in to their services and so can shove the hardware onto the market below the cost of their competitors.
I will buy a tablet at some point and I am not fussed who from.

Chocoholics from the nearby Assemblée Nationale pop into Michel Chaundun's cavern of cacao throughout the day. But whether you're a famous politician or not, everyone gets the same treatment – a welcome smile and an enthusiasm for chocolate so communicative that you can't help but want to try a square truffle, a Fidgi (a dark chocolate filled with passion fruit ganache) or a Veragua (a heavenly chocolate, praline and caramel layered bon-bon).
Then there's the setting: Chaudun's chocolate shop has to be the most atmospheric of them all; a wooden panelled 19th-century affair, covered from floor to ceiling with hand-made chocolate sculptures. There are dark chocolate busts of 18th-century ladies, abstract shapes and milk chocolate animal trophies that wouldn't look amiss in Willy Wonka's hunting lodge. There's also a sugar-free range for diabetics.

Rackspace tool checks the health of clouds
Summary: The monitoring technology is designed to let IT admins keep an eye on clouds no matter where they are hosted so they can get alerts for downtime and check on performance.
Rackspace has introduced a tool to let IT admins probe their infrastructure across the world and spot problems before these disrupt services.
Rackspace Cloud Monitoring, released on Wednesday, is designed to let businesses monitor their IT infrastructure "irrespective of where it's hosted", the company said. This infrastructure includes other clouds or even on-premises systems.
"Our product can monitor basically anything connected to the internet (with an IP address or URL), as long as it's not hidden behind a firewall," a Rackspace spokeswoman said in a statement.
The tool, which uses technology picked up in Rackspace's acquisition of Cloudkick in 2010, will send customers an alert if things are going wrong with equipment, wherever it is hosted. In theory, this can help businesses react to a problem before it turns into a cascading fail, like those that have hit Amazon Web Services in recent months.
In addition, Rackspace customers can use the tool to set policies for scaling up their clouds in the case of unanticipated demand. It will also drill down to get information about infrastructure performance in specific geographic regions and keep an eye on the behaviour of websites, URLs, ports and protocols.
Rackspace Cloud Monitoring is priced according to the number of things being inspected, and the various locations they are being inspected from. Pricing starts at $1.50 per inspection or 'check' from one zone, and rises to up to $2.50 per check from five separate zones.
The tool is accessible via a RESTful API and a web interface. It will compete with cloud-monitoring solutions from several companies, including VMware and Cedexis.
Eventually, Rackspace hopes to bring agent-based monitoring into the cloud-monitoring technology so it can reach down to the individual processors, disks and memory components of a business's infrastructure. The company did not give a date for when it expects these features to be worked into the product.

Cisco coughs up to patent troll, smacks down IP laws
Cisco has announced that its long-running battle with patent troll Innovatio is over, with the licensing outfit accepting $US2.7 million to settle the case. The deal includes Netgear and Motorola devices. As noted by Cisco's Mark Chandler in this blog post, the settlement amounts to 3.2 cents for each of 85 million WiFi device …
"And if they thought they might be on the hook for the $13M we had to spend, they might have thought twice about the way they approached their licensing scheme."
Wow, imagine having to pick up this bill if you lost a case! Someone might want to ask themselves if their lawyers are milking it a bit.
Re: $13,000,000.00
Honest question - is the loser not ordered to pay costs in US civil cases?
Because to me, it would seem absurd to not order the loser to pay costs.
In the UK, the level of costs to be paid is determined by the judge, and is split according to what's deemed reasonable, and where the fault lies (not always entirely with the losing party), which seems like a pretty sensible way of handling things.
Re: $13,000,000.00
Be aware of the "jeopardy" aspect of damages awards in UK cases.
If you decline an offer to settle and then win the case but get awarded LESS than the original offer then you generally get ordered to pay ALL the costs of both parties. It punishes people who waste the court's time.
I like that. It keeps the settlements reasonable.
Re: Honest question - is the loser not ordered to pay costs in US civil cases?
Nope, usually both sides pay their own freight for lawyers.
Now, the judge can order one side or the other to pay some or all of the legal fees in a case, but that rarely happens. I think it requires proof of egregious misuse of the legal system, which for some odd reason seems impossible to get in an arena where $13 million legal bills are common.
Now, I can see some justification in not always making the loser pay. If you're the little guy and the big guy hires expensive lawyers to shake you down, it could encourage you to settle regardless of where you think you stand because you're afraid you'll just lose in court anyway and then have to additionally pay their lawyers fees.
The problem is, you need judges who are trusted to render impartial decisions, and none of us believe we have those kinds of judges anymore.
Re: $13,000,000.00
I am happy to note I am ignorant in US civil law, but in general, no, the loser is not ordered to pay court costs. That is why so many loony lawsuits clog up the US courts. A risk-management exec buddy of mine regaled us with stories of being told to pay off a woman who claimed that her microwave was making her pregnant - she was up to four or five kids now- (too costly to fight), and the reason for idiot stickers on oven doors "this door is not to be used as a step stool", and on kids' Halloween costumes "this Superman cape and costume does not permit the wearer to fly, and makes no claim or attribution to that effect". Trying to make things idiot-proof in the US just proves that the idiots are numerous and inventive.

My New Bird Dog and Puppy Potty Training
I am proud to introduce Top Gun Escanaba v. St.Pierre, my new 10-week-old female German shorthaired pointer. My new bird dog pup, call name "Esky," comes from the same bloodlines as my previous two shorthairs, Izzy and Trammell. If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you may remember my young shorthair Izzy died tragically last October. Izzy and Esky share the same dam, Top Gun Hope.
Esky joined our family last Thursday after a trip to Top Gun Kennels in Iowa where we met a few of her siblings. The breeder, Steve and Jodie Ries, made my pup selection for me in advance. Steve and Jodie know me well, know my hunting style and know what attributes I was looking for in my new pup. There was no flipping over pups on their back to see which one fought me, or didn't. There was no walking around the yard to see which one followed me, or didn't. There was no chance of a pup having a good day or a bad one when I met them. I simply communicated my preferences and trusted them. This strategy of trust worked seven years ago with my first pup and I've kept returning to the same breeder ever since.
Tip: I've found most gun dog breeders to be similarly dedicated to their client's needs. If you're looking for a pup, ask prospective breeders for the contact info from some of their clients and make a few calls. Speaking to owners from the same bloodlines you're interested in will provide a tremendous amount of insight into both the breeder and the line. It's well worth the effort.
The Name Game
While I named my previous two bird dogs after Detroit sports heroes of my childhood (Alan Trammell and Steve Yzerman), I went a different direction with my new pup. "Esky" is the nickname of my hometown of Escanaba in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. I selected the name for a couple of different reasons. First, I've never met another bird dog named Esky and a unique name in the field is important to me. Second, Esky sounds similar to Izzy, which I like considering the circumstances of losing Izzy at such a young age. Lastly, growing up in Escanaba translated into my love for the great outdoors and bird hunting in particular, so naming my dog "Esky" seemed a fitting tribute to a place I love.
Puppy Potty Training
Life with a puppy is a shock to the system and our normal daily structure. In fact, I spent my Fourth of July holiday weekend not sleeping. Ten-week-old puppies want bathroom breaks at 2AM and 4:30AM, and you'd best move quickly to avoid accidents.
Tip: Puppies need to go to the bathroom as soon as they wake up. Carry your puppy outside as soon as they awake to avoid an indoor accident. Put that puppy where you want them to learn "going potty" is acceptable. Say "go potty" until they go to the bathroom. Jump up and down like you won the Stanley Cup after the pup successfully goes to the bathroom.
And it begins again; the process of training a puppy and adapting to life with a new member of the family. Stay tuned for more posts as I go through the process of training my third bird dog.
Note: I'm hoping to contact the gentleman from the Maplewood/White Bear Lake, Minnesota area who has named his new shorthair puppy, Izzy, in tribute to my pup. I'd like to express my gratitude. Please email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you!

I have trained my dogs by placing a small bell on a hook by the door. Every time I let them out I ring the bell. In fairly short order the dog will ring the bell when it wants to go out. Makes things a lot easier and stops barking and scratching as the signal from the dog.
Congratulations on the new puppy. I've been following along on Twitter and have really enjoyed your posts. We picked up a pudelpointer pup this past April and just went through what you're going through now! It's been great fun for us having a puppy around and watching his first experiences (swimming, pointing, chasing, etc.). Really looking forward to following along on Esky's journey. Please keep up the posts & updates!
Bob good luck with Esky. Love the name! Let me know when you and new pup are ready for a good grouse and woodcock hunt. Nothing makes a old hunter feel young like a new pup in the field. Good Luck! Tom Poorker
Tom, Seve, & Tom: Thanks for reading the post and thanks for the kind words. I'm very much looking forward to grouse, woodcock, pheasant and quail seasons! Summer is over-rated anyway, right?
[…] My New Bird Dog and Puppy Potty Training – Pheasant Blog […]
I'd wager "Esky in da golden hour" will leave better memories than "Escanaba in da moonlight"
Congrats Bob!
Congratulations Bob on your new dog!
Congratulations! She's got a great face — doesn't get any cuter. Think of all the adventures ahead of you two together…

Media outlets are reporting that Amazon Prime Instant Video is warning subscribers who view old Tom and Jerry cartoons that the venerable series may depict scenes of "racial prejudice."
The cartoons, produced between 1940 and 1957, are being tagged by Amazon for its depiction of a black maid and for the use of blackface in some episodes.
Tom and Jerry: The Complete Second Volume is accompanied by this warning: "Tom and Jerry shorts may depict some ethnic and racial prejudices that were once commonplace in American society. Such depictions were wrong then and are wrong today."
Amazon's warning says such prejudice was once "commonplace" in US society, according to the BBC.
The warning was attacked as "empty-headed" by sociology professor Frank Furedi of the University of Kent, who said it was a form of a "false piousness" and a type of censorship which "seems to be sweeping cultural life."
"We're reading history backwards, judging people in the past by our values," Furedi said.
Tom and Jerry was a longtime mainstay on American and British children's programming, and can still be seen today.
However, it does seem rather difficult to believe that there's a need to attach a warning to a children's cartoon that identifies the stereotyping of blacks as wrong. Blackface is pretty much accepted as verboten in our culture today and has been for several decades.

Dual Enrollees Excel in Postsecondary
Following hard on the heels of our recent Data Driven blog post on the benefits of dual enrollment, the National Student Clearinghouse has just published recent data on college completion overall, and for former dual enrollment students, in a new Signature Report.
As the publication notes, in the 2010-2011 school year, high school students enrolled in about 2 million college courses. Approximately 600,000 of these were in CTE fields.
Using a dataset of almost 400,000 former dual enrollment students who started postsecondary education for the first time in fall 2007, researchers found that 66 percent had completed a credential within six years. In comparison, the rest of the fall 2007 cohort (minus the dual enrollees) had a completion rate of 54.2 percent.
In addition, the Education Commission of the States has developed a database of state policies and practices on dual enrollment, including credit earned, access, financing, transferability and CTE-specific elements.

Social Security workers in Iowa to protest funding

Some Social Security employees in Des Moines are trying to find ways to protest funding levels at the agency.
An employees union representing Social Security workers plans to hold an informal picket line Wednesday morning outside one of the agency's offices.
The American Federation Of Government Employees Local 836 plans to protest an agency-wide hiring freeze and shortened hours at community field offices.
The local group, which represents about 400 Social Security employees in Iowa and Nebraska, says recent proposals from Congress will cut the agency's operational budget.

Before I tell you about this bottle of wine, allow me to give you a little background info. I've tasted an earlier vintage of this wine at a wine store in Dublin, Ca and I wasn't impressed. It smelled sweet, like gummy bears, was flabby and thin, and didn't impress me at all. Then I got the sales pitch, "this wine is limited production and is going to sell out, and we're almost sold out in fact! Buy now for $45 USD and save 30% by the time of its official release, how many bottles would you like, you're limited to three."
None please, although that is brilliant marketing. You appealed to my greed and sense of urgency instead of my taste buds!
So I commented on it on one of Alder's posts at Vinography, which garnered some serious feedback. 'Try it again' was the cry from the masses, so I did last night. This was one of the hardest purchases I've ever had to make. The notes I read on forums were lackluster and sometimes negative on the 2003 Whispering Dove, even the store manager looked at me a little different at the counter. I really didn't feel like wasting $29 (the price for the 03 has fallen sharply and the source for fruit changed from 2002) on a wine I didn't want to taste again. But I did it for the sake of being fair, and to make sure any bias was gone, I made sure I tasted it blind against another 03 Cab. I made sure I didn't know which wine was which, I wanted this to be legitimate. I also didn't want to know what the second bottle was, I just stipulated to my friend that it be an 2003 Cabernet. He could have grabbed a 2003 Hartwell, or a 2003 Beringer Cab, I just didn't want to know.
The tasting:
Wine #1
Exhibits a Ruby – Garnet color, sweet blueberries on the nose with almost a syrup like smell, acidic with the blueberry theme carrying over on the palate, a simple, medium bodied finish. 81pts JAT
Wine #2
A darker wine than number one with a deeper purple, a hint of pepper and dust on the nose, but somewhat cloying. A medium bodied wine lacking any complexity; astringent and over oaked. The tannic finish lasts about 30 seconds. 77pts JAT
I had the first wine pegged as the Whispering dove, thanks to that sweet nose I remember from my first experience with it. 81 points is still a good score, and better than 77. Imagine my surprise when it was revealed that the second wine was actually the dove, Wine #1 was a 2003 Ravenswood Vintners Blend California Cabernet retail ($12 USD?), not a bad wine, although it was a little acidic and overly fruity, possibly from chaptalization?
How disappointing. The grapes for the Dove are from Stags leap, shouldn't I have been able to taste that? The wine was unfortunately one dimensional, devoid of character, and over oaked. I honestly would have jumped all over this wine if it was good, at $30 a bottle for juice from an acclaimed Napa AVA that would have been a great deal. Sadly, it's to good to be true.
This wine is made by someone associated, (was associated?) with the Wine Warehouse, a wholesale distributor out of California, and in hopes of jumping on the bandwagon with a hyped wine / label / AVA, their efforts appear to be to make a quick buck, not deliver a quality, consistent product that consumers can return to year after year. If you buy into it, by all means, pick up a bottle or two, although I'm not one to recommend a bottle that doesn't taste that good.
For me it's simple, if it's a good wine it's worth the money, purchase it and enjoy. If I'm looking to purchase wine as an investment, I make sure that it isn't just hyped by retail sales people, I double check with professional critics, taste it myself (if I can afford it), or even look to other blogs or forums for information on it from other wine lovers.
I wanted to like the 2003 Whispering Dove and be proven wrong. I took the tasting seriously, did it blind and focused on the wine itself, not the label. Those that tasted it with me weren't influenced by my notes, which I kept to myself, and weren't aware of my background with it. We all tasted the wines blind and had the same consensus, this wine was just O.K. This is what I learned, and I personally feel there are much better wines to be had for $30 from around the world.
Wine: 2003 Whispering Dove Stags Leap District Reserve
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon
Price: $29 USD
Notes: A dark purple color with a hint of pepper and dust on the nose, but somewhat cloying. A medium bodied wine lacking any complexity; astringent and over oaked. The tannic finish lasts about 30 seconds. To be avoided.
Score: 77pts JAT

But the aging singer's latest Q&A courtesy of The Hollywood Reporter includes some of his most outrageous claims to date. Would you believe he considers Bruce Springsteen "black" for being socially responsible? Sure, Belafonte is still singing about the evils of capitalism and slamming President Barack Obama for not being liberal enough, but his comments about the presumptive GOP presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, deserve unique consideration for their histrionics. THR: Would you want Mitt Romney to become the next U.S. president? Belafonte: Only if I would like to see the end of civilization. No, absolutely not, Mitt Romney is not my cup of tea at all.

Roger Federer rallies to gain semis
MELBOURNE, Australia -- Four-time Australian Open winner Roger Federer, a 17-time Grand Slam champion, looked for a while like he might join Serena Williams on the sidelines. But Federer eked out a 7-6 (4), 4-6, 7-6 (4), 3-6, 6-3 win over 2008 finalist Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in an Australian Open quarterfinal match Wednesday that lasted 3 hours, 34 minutes.
More on ESPN.com
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga can be impossible to contain at times. That's what makes Roger Federer's five-set win so impressive, writes Bonnie D. Ford. Story
Federer, who broke Tsonga in the fourth game of the deciding set, converted his fifth match point while serving after Tsonga saved four match points in the previous game. Federer, who advanced to the semifinals for the 10th consecutive year at Melbourne Park, will play U.S. Open champion Andy Murray on Friday.
"I thought he played very aggressive," Federer said of Tsonga. "I love those four-set or five-set thrillers and I was part of one tonight."
When asked after the match why he feels it's so tough for him to beat the top players, a disappointed Tsonga was at a loss.
"To be honest, I have no idea. You know, if you have some advice for me, I will take it because I don't know. I don't know what is the difference," he said.

Who will win the men's and women's draws of the Australian Open as the tournament moves into its semifinal round?
• Cast your votes!
Tsonga might find success again with a new coach. After going more than a year without a coach, the Frenchman hired Roger Rasheed -- the former coach of Gael Monfils and Lleyton Hewitt -- a few months ago and said the impact has been immediate.
"He's giving me an extra motivation," Tsonga said. "It's great because he's always positive. He wants maybe more than me to win. He's incredible."
Murray advanced earlier Wednesday with a 6-4, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Jeremy Chardy. The other men's semifinal has defending champion Novak Djokovic playing David Ferrer on Thursday
Federer was narrowly in front for most of the match but Tsonga stayed in touch with some powerful groundstrokes and a big serve.
The 25-year-old Murray had his service broken for only the second time while serving for the match. But he broke back immediately to clinch the quarterfinal victory.

Stephanie McMahon revealed on Twitter that she has a new jet plane. The belief is that WWE purchased the new vehicle for her because she will be attending events more frequently in the role of brand ambassador. Triple H and Vince McMahon will more than likely travel together to Monday Night Raw and Smackdown each week.
Since WWE stars had to travel through pretty rough weather this past winter, Vince McMahon is leaning towards doing more house shows on the west coast during the months of October through January, as the conditions on that side of the country are not nearly as harsh.
Travel isn't an easy thing. Since America Airlines lost their luggage, Natalya Neidhart and Tyson Kidd have no clothes to wear, so the WWE couple has no choice but to wear their ring gear in the hotel room. Natalya posted the hilarious picture on Twitter.
Another name that could be joining Jeff Jarrett and his rumored new wrestling promotion is Joey Ryan. While his stint in TNA didn't result in a major push for the longtime independent wrestling star, he did manage to impress quite a few people in the industry.
"Another thing Bill DeMott said at the WWE camp is that WWE retrained Daniel Bryan or he wouldn't be as good as he is today."
"At the WWE camp, Bill DeMott said nobody on the indies is as good as NXT guys. I'd LOVE to debate Bill DeMott on what he thinks "good wrestling" is."
"Right. I think he, and I'm not inside his head, but for whatever reason I hear from a lot of guys that he has a little chip on his shoulder about certain guys. I think, it's one of those things where he always wanted guys to be on their defenses around him and I never really was because I was really comfortable there, especially when I got WWE agents that were putting me over to him, members of creative and stuff like that. So I was always comfortable because I knew I had all these people that were putting me over to him, so I think he kind of didn't like that. I don't know him personally. I haven't talked to him more than this interview backstage kind of thing, but I always got the feeling that he was upset about how un-nervous or how comfortable I was there and not like a yes sir, no sir kind of thing. It's his prerogative or whatever. He was in charge. So, for whatever reason it was, he just never, he always kind of had a chip on his shoulder towards me."
"That was through David Lagana, who is a writer at TNA, because I worked with him in Ring of Honor and in Championship Wrestling From Hollywood here in LA. And then he got hired on to be a writer on the Ring Ka King project, which is like TNA's sister project in India, and they were looking for guys. He actually had an idea that he used a couple times in Championship Wrestling From Hollywood where teamed me and Nunzio up as kind of like a Hollywood and Broadway kind of thing, different coast kind of thing, the same kind of swarmy characters, so he brought that to the India show and I was able to wrestle in front of a lot of guys in the offices of TNA that had never seen me wrestle before and then when they were doing the Gut Check stuff at TNA they were looking at guys on the independents to bring in and do it. They already had footage of me that they owned from Ring Ka King and I think Al Snow got to watch it and Bruce Prichard got to watch it and they decided that they would use me on Gut Check."
When he first started out as an independent wrestler in southern California, Joey Ryan went by the name of Joey Shadow and he utilized a gothic gimmick.
Joey Ryan playfully made fun of himself on Twitter for enjoying girly drinks.

Many Chicagoans may have seen the TV news footage of 7,000 Chicago Public School parents and supporters who marched downtown May 8.
I want to make sure you also know why so many parents took the time off work to send a message to CPS.
The rally was organized by Charter Parents United (CPU) to ask that CPS protect our school choice and provide our children with the same level of funding they provide to students in traditional public schools.
I joined other parents to create CPU because our voice has been missing from the recent debate about public schools. We are tired of charter schools being attacked when they are some of the best choices available for our children.
I live in Brighton Park on the Southwest side with my husband and our six children. Our older children went to neighborhood schools, where a shooting would occur nearby and we would not know if they were safe. I was told that my child was failing a class, but they could not tell me why or how to help my child.
Around the time my youngest daughter was going to kindergarten, I learned about charter schools. I found a spot for her in a charter school, but it was 85 blocks away.
At that point, I decided I would rather travel two hours each day than send her to the neighborhood school. Like any parent, I wanted her to have the best chance to learn, go to college, and get a good job. And the sacrifice has been worth it.
My daughter is finally getting the education she deserves, but she is not getting the same level of funding from CPS as kids in other public schools.
As I was filing my taxes last month, it reminded me that my family and others who chose public charters schools pay the same taxes as everyone else, but our 53,000 students are not getting their fair share of CPS funding.
We know we are lucky to have gotten a spot in a charter school. Many of my friends and neighbors want to send their kids to charter schools because their neighborhood schools are failing them, but there are not enough seats. So why are 35 of our aldermen trying to limit our right to choose our child's school? This is my child and should be my choice.
I am not a politician or an expert in education policy. I am just trying to do right by my child. CPU parents support the efforts CPS is making to fix the public school system.
In the meantime, we are demanding the right to choose what is best for our children and, in my case, it is charter schools. That is why thousands of parents came out to rally, and we hope that our elected officials and CPS hear us loud and clear: fund our schools equally and support public school choice for all families.

Tallahassee, FL - Gadsden County School Superintendent, Reginald James, stepped out of an RV with a load of other school officials so that they could all give the good news together.
The group surprised Kameelah Weeks at Havana Middle School Tuesday afternoon to let her know she's chosen as the district's Teacher of the Year.
When told she was described as amazing, Weeks blushed and said, "I didn't realize that would be the description. But, I'm honored."
Weeks is a reading coach. She's been teaching for nine years, and is in her first year at Havana Middle.
She says, "I feels like it's what I've been called to do. As a reading coach, I get the best of both worlds. I still get to interact with the ids and teach the kids. But, I also get to share some of the things that I've learned in my different experiences with teachers as well."
Weeks has been her school's "Teacher of the Year" four times (three times in Gretna, and this year at HMS.) This is her second time being a top five finalist for the district award.
The principal at Havana Middle School, Delshuana Jackson, says, "She's dedicated. She's committed. She goes over and beyond. She's here with me late at night. She's here with me early in the mornings on the weekend. She's awesome."
Eighth grade student Isaiah Larksins says, "She's always very helpful and help students out. She helps us achieve our goals and we're going to pass the FCAT with her help."
Superintendent James gave a final pat on the back to Weeks and says, "So proud of you. Absolutely."
Weeks is now in the running for Florida's statewide "Teacher of the Year" award. The statewide award will be announced in July.
Gadsden County plans to announce the district's "Rookie Teacher of the Year" and the "School Related Employee of the Year" Tuesday.

Buoyed by contributions to the best-selling soundtracks O Brother, Where Art Thou and Cold Mountain, Alison Krauss and Union Station not only gained recognition as one of America's hottest contemporary bluegrass bands, but also helped nurture new interest in roots music in general. Still, Krauss and company's approach is far too varied to lock them into any single genre; the multitude of winsome ballads dotting their latest album, Lonely Runs Both Ways, clearly indicates that they're courting a wider audience. Even while appearing to yield to commercial considerations, however, their musical prowess remains the focus, thanks to Krauss's emotive vocals, adept fiddle playing, and a superb instrumental ensemble that includes the blistering fretwork of dobro wiz Jerry Douglas. As the group's live concerts demonstrate, their hoe-down won't be slowed down.

Editor's note: This is the first part of a 2-day series on people of color and mental health.
Earlier this month, news surfaced of a Louisiana school psychologist who posted racially charged messages on Twitter. Mark Traina, who later resigned, worked as a psychologist at an alternative school in Jefferson Parish Public School System, a district that's been under intense scrutiny in recent months. According to a court complaint filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Jefferson County has been sending a disproportionate number of black and special education kids to "languish for months" in the district's alternative schools.
Traina had already taken to Twitter to post his support of George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch captain charged with murdering Trayvon Martin. But back in January, Traina went on a rant against "young black thugs." Traina, a self-proclaimed 'American Civil Rights Activist who unlike Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton presents all Americas", tweeted that "Young black thugs who won't follow the law need to be put down not incarcerated. Put down like the Dogs they are!"
While black children aren't often ceremoniously "put down like dogs", they do face harsh school punishment at much higher rates than their white counterparts. Jefferson Parish's problems are symptomatic of a disease that's already been diagnosed nationally: the tendency to dole out harsher than average treatment for people of color. From the classroom to the clinician's office, there's a long and troubling relationship between racism and the mental health field.
Research has also shown the black students are disciplined more severely than white students, even when they commit offenses that are less serious. The National Education Policy Center at the University of Colorado reported ( PDF) that more than 30 percent of black students caught using, or in possession of, a cell phone for the first time were suspended. The rate for white students who committed the same infraction was just 17 percent.
The disparity lead Education Secretary Arne Duncan to lament that "the everyday educational experience for too many students of color violates the principle of equity at the heart of the American promise."
Data released this year by the U.S. Department of education showed that black students are three times more likely to be suspended than their white classmates. Even though black students make up just 18 percent of students nationally, they comprise 35 percent of suspensions and 39 percent of expulsions. Additionally, as Liz Dywer points out at GOOD, 70 percent of students arrested or referred to police are black or Latino.
Yet many contend that the problem extends far beyond the classroom. When it comes to mental illness, people of color are more likely to be given more severe diagnoses than their white counterparts. In 2005, the Washington Post reported that even though schizophrenia has been shown to affect all ethnic groups at the same rate, black people in the U.S. were more than four times as likely to be diagnosed with the disorder than whites. Latinos were more than three times as likely to be diagnosed as whites.
"The way we define mental illness is slanted toward pathologizing basically angry black men," said Jonathan Metzl, a psychiatrist at Vanderbilt University and author of the book "The Protest Psychosis: How Schizophrenia Became a Black Disease."
There's a deep mistrust between communities of color and the mental health field. The National Alliance on Mental Health notes ( PDF) that African Americans are more likely to be misdiagnosed and, in turn, receive inadequate treatment often due to a "lack of cultural understanding."
