I have found that it feels lean from about 3000-4500 RPM, really having a pause or delay until it hits 4500-5000 RPM, then the fueling, in combination with my 200 throttle tube, and she wants to throw me off the back.....
I'm going to change the secondary throttles like my modified shootis map on a regular 07' akro map for starters. I think opening up the secondaries must lean the fueling down just a bit, although it seems odd that changing those would make that much of a difference. I did have some deceleration popping with this map compared to the akro map too.
To be continued this weekend..........
Opening the secondaries makes perfect since because that slows down the fuel charge velocities. Irregardless of the fact of the A/F ratio it still is getting less of a charge in there(think like a small supercharger with them closed more). The engine is going to create x vacuum at any RPM. If you close the secondaries you increase velocity because x vacuum has to go thru a smaller area. This is how a ported cylinder head can sometimes only make another 2 hp. Big holes look nice but can sometimes hurt true performance.

Healthy Foods that Keep You Full
Hunger pangs remain the biggest deterrent to our calorie-limiting schedules, making it hard to lose those unwanted pounds. However, if you can eat healthy, non-fattening foods that keep you feeling fuller for a longer time, chances are that you will snack less through the day. Some of the healthier food choices that help to sustain the fuller feeling and prevent hunger pangs have been listed below:
Whole Grains for All Major Meals: Eating whole wheat or multi-grain bread or rotis is recommended since complex carbohydrates release glucose slowly. Slower release of glucose means that sugar levels ... more
Whole Grains for All Major Meals: Eating whole wheat or multi-grain bread or rotis is recommended since complex carbohydrates release glucose slowly. Slower release of glucose means that sugar levels are kept at a constant. Since there are no spikes or dips in sugar levels, there is lesser chance of being hit by a sugar craving. Further, whole grains are among the best sources of various types of Vitamin B. less

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together?
June 21st - July 15th, 2012
Alaska! This had been a dream of mine for years. I've mulled over maps and plotted routes there and back many times. But when I've crunched the numbers, one fact remains. It's a really long ways up there and back from Arizona. I know I'll need at least 3 weeks to do a decent trip, and even that time is probably too short. If I went alone I could probably do several 800-1000 mile days while in the lower 48 to allow a more leisurely pace while there, but still. I'm married with 2 kids. It would be incredibly selfish to use all of my vacation on such a trip. Taking one of the kids has been discussed, but in reality I know they wouldn't enjoy such a brutal schedule, especially in bad weather. So like so many other dreams, Alaska Dreams were supressed. I told myself I preferred exploring backcountry on gravel roads and that my extended weekend trips were enough. Afterall I wouldn't really enjoy all of those boring highway miles anyway. Alaska was something put on the back burner. Someday... Maybe when I retire...
Summer 2012. I hoped to get away alone for at least a week for a nice ride. The kids were now old enough for Helen, my wonderful wife, to return to work after many years of being an awesome stay-at-home mother. I didn't want the kids sitting around the house alone all summer. So we arranged for the kids to fly to Europe for 28 days where they would spend time with family. I made plans to take 10 days for a 4600 mile solo ride up the west coast on the Aprilia. I was getting excited for this trip and even had new tires delivered. Then suddenly Helen informed me she would not be working afterall. I was really bummed as I was really anticipating the solo trip. The solution we both agreed to was for me to go ahead with the solo trip. I would then return to work for a week before leaving together for a casual ride on the KTM for a second week of vacation. I planned to show her around to some of my favorite places at the Grand Canyon and Southern Utah. Sounds like the perfect summer, right?
Then some jerk started posted awesome photos from Alaska... I realized my Alaska Dream was still alive. I had the vacation time. I just needed to take one additional week off work. This week included July 4th, a paid holiday, so it would only cost 32 hours... Hmmmm.
So I hurriedly put together a route. Then I took the proposal to Helen. I know she's not gonna want me to disappear alone that long. Would she be interested in going along? To my surprise she didn't immediately reject the idea. She wants to go to Alaska, but like most sane people I'm sure she'd prefer to go by plane, or take a cruise (She rarely rides and has only been on one multiple day motorcycle tour). I made a strong case. Let's do it! We're not likely to get the chance without the kids around for many years. I'm a long way from retirement, and may never live to see the day. Maybe I'll not be able to ride then anyway. Carpe Diem! Let's do something spontaneous! Can you believe it? She ultimately approved and wanted to come along! We've been successfully lured to Alaska!
When the decision was finally made we had only 31 days until departure to prepare for a trip many spend a year or more planning for. I got busy ordering all of the stuff needed. The next few weeks the Fedex and UPS deliverymen were showing up with new goodies almost daily.
The route I planned included riding up the west coast, through the Olympic peninsula, Vancouver, and up the Cassier. I didn't have much of a plan in Alaska, but knew I wanted to ride up the Dalton Highway to Prudhoe Bay. The return route would be through Dawson, Jasper, Icefields Parkway, Glacier NP, Yellowstone NP etc. It was more than 10,000 miles. With only 25 days to ride it we need to average more than 400 miles a day... each day.
I'm lucky enough to own 2 bikes. The 2007 990 Adventure was the obvious choice of the two. But it's not really ready for such a long trip yet. The water pump shaft seal needs replacing, I need a new front tire, and all of the maintenance done. So a few long nights in a scorching hot shop are in order.
The second time replacing the water pump shaft seal was much easier. I replaced the OEM shaft with a super-hardened part from CJDesigns. The old one hadn't failed yet, but after about 12,000 miles, it was overdue. The new one is guaranteed to last almost forever.
We are riding 2up for this trip. (This means Helen rides on the back, as I wouldn't dare ride behind her.) Packing for 25 days of varying climates on the road and camping is hard enough for one. For 2 on on 1 bike it's nearly impossible. I spent alot of time stressing over what we had to bring, and what must be left behind. How will it ever all fit?
The packing list wasn't finalized until the last day.
Believe it or not. This all fits.

Re: Clay Death Permaban: Consider rescinding please.
i think intelligence should be respected more around here. the guy in question has plenty of it, but sometimes he uses it badly...who doesn't? his contributions were quite huge, let's admit it...even ATP decided to keep agassi's case low profile...
i often don't like this guy's irony, but MTF is the place it is, the biggest tennis forum on the internet, due to guys like the banned one.
and mods should admit something about MTF which relates big time with human nature. MTF thrives on conflict, and people like CD cultivate this aspect of the true human nature big time. I cannot imagine MTF as a place of cold statisticians. this place needs conflict and tards, let's admit it now and forever!
and CD is a tard which tries big time to be objective. he fails at it, imho, but this place is different, less, without him.
i remember having a period here when I used to be continuously annoyed by a guy's named SdG posts. I replied, a little war started, but i never reported that fella for what he used to do. 2 big tards exchanging nice words
this kind of debates more often than not keeps mtf alive. let's admit it!
we are beings which often thrive on conflict. and i mean ideas conflict, logical conflict, philosophical conflict, not physical one (at least on the web, i mean. i am a very peaceful guy in the real life, so to say, but i enjoy a nice heated debate on an internet forum, even if it implies some small language abuse). sometimes the language goes out of the rules books, it's who we are. admit that, mods, and let the guy post again!
Of course i don't know what was the reason the mods eventually decided to apply the permaban (is it written somewhere for public view?), but the guy was behaving in a particular manner since i don't know when. Why now?
If it's to make a poll around here, how many of us here are tards? The number is quite big, I incline to think. Sports-fanboyism (and here is included its online manifestations) is a reality. Sport would not be the big social thing it is without this phenomenon. Let it flow, mods
Q. Do you think you would have been able to play as well as you played today, or you think you would have pulled out from the game if it wasn't the Masters Cup final?
ROGER FEDERER: No, Roger Federer doesn't pull out. Otherwise he doesn't walk on court (smiling).

Good product, but too full!
Jenny Reich from toronto, ON – Verified Buyer
We love the idea and the product, but this one was way too over-stuffed with styrofoam filling - to the point where it was impossible to melt into it in any way. You could only really sit on top of it. Happily, we have the 6' version (which we love) and after three years of use, the filling was too packed down and it wasn't holding its shape any longer... so, we just transferred a bunch of the filling from our new beanbag to our old one. Now it's great. If you don't have an old one, just take out a bunch of the filling (it is a messy process!) and save it in a zippered bag for the day when you need a top-up.
So comfy!
Laura from Pittsboro, NC – Verified Buyer
I have to say I wasn't sure how comfortable this would be, but it is a great addition to the grand kids playroom... now I can be comfy while playing with them.
Great product that matched the description.

This weekend, we will focus on Christ's willingness to leave heaven and enter our world for our salvation. Paul was also willing to bring the gospel message by becoming all things to all people. The challenge for us is to step outside our comfort zone and enter someone else's world.
Donovan Coley
This weekend we're taking a look at Peter and John's interaction with a lame man in Acts 3. We'll be studying their responses in order to identify our responsibility in responding to people in situations of need.

These kinds of theaters are not large, typically involving between six and 12 volunteer actors. Sometimes they are closely connected and managed by a psychiatric facility, and sometimes they are entirely independent.
The idea of meshing therapy with the dramatic arts isn't new. As Faigin pointed out, psychotherapy has long employed role-playing techniques to help patients tackle past traumas, depression or personality disorders, and to foster awareness and self-esteem.
"Research has shown that chronic mental illness is so incredibly disruptive of so many aspects on one's life -- family dynamics, relationships, employment -- that there's sort of a broken self there in terms of meaning and purpose," Faigin noted. But for many patients, performance "sparks a real process of identity development by being forced to get up on stage and be themselves -- quite literally -- [and] by sharing their own personal stories in recovery."
At the same time, acting by its very nature can also give the patient "a break from everyday life, by being somebody else for a half-hour," Faigin said.
"They have a creative voice and express themselves as someone who has something to say," he explained. "It's a very in-your-face opportunity that forces the patients to 'own it,' because they're accountable when they're up on stage in a live performance in ways that they are not in the privacy of their home."
Other experts agreed that theater can play a role in mental health care.
"Mostly my experience has been with patients who have found it very useful to enroll in acting courses," said Marvin Aronson, a private practitioner in individual, group, and couples therapy, as well as former director of the group therapy department at the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health in New York City.

This week's releases see a varied combination of titles, with shooters, racing simulators, and puzzle games thrown in the mix. Will you fight alongside Tier 1 soldiers, coast through a country town, or ponder through some puzzles?
Electronic Arts' modern-day first-person shooter Medal of Honor: Warfighter is the latest instalment in the series. The game follows a group of Tier 1 operators as they take the fight to terrorists around the world, in locations like the Philippines and Somalia.
EA earlier announced the Medal of Honor Warfighter Limited Edition, which gamers can receive through preordering the game. Those who preorder will be able to download the US Navy SEAL Tier 1 Sniper, an unlock that would otherwise require about 40 hours of gameplay. The download will be available upon the game's launch.
The publisher also revealed that the game would include a DLC multiplayer map pack, based on locations from the upcoming film Zero Dark Thirty, which details the hunt for Osama bin Laden.
If you would much rather cruise through some scenic locations in a sweet ride, racing simulator Forza Horizon is due out this week for the Xbox 360. The title is a spin-off of Turn 10's racing game franchise and is developed by United Kingdom-based startup Playground Games. The game focuses on a pick-up and play racing experience, with a festival atmosphere and an open road.
Turn 10's creative director had reportedly commented in the past that the Forza series took inspiration from the Pokemon games. Publisher Microsoft also announced the Forza Horizon Season pass, granting access to DLCs including the game's expansion and six car packs.
Other titles out this week include Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D, and Street Fighter X Tekken for the Vita. Check out the full list of new releases below.

timp678861wrote a review of Giordana Laser Jersey on August 28, 2013
quality jersey
Really happy with this jersey, It's not as tight as I thought it might be, maybe US sizing differs slightly to the european purchased Giordana gear that I own. this isn't a bad thing.
I'm a tall rider with a muscular build and this does not look short on me or problems with the sleeves been to tight.
The fabric is extremly soft and stretchy so you get a good fit when sat in the saddle.
Just hope that the material holds up over several washes. I have found Giordana to be of good quality in the past so I have faith.
For sizing i am 3XL but i am stretching the sizing boundaries by being 6ft 7" and 95kg.
Overall very pleased.

I've used these on several occasions now and I really like them.

1. Rationale
The task group was requested to further clarify the method for verifying perpendicularity of capped specimens, as described in Note 12. It was felt that the description of the proper method for using the combination square could be confusing to the reader. This ballot attempts to make it easier to understand how to utilize this method, when verifying perpendicularity and includes a new Fig. 2 which shows an example of the notched square that is discussed in the note. In addition, the term combination square has been changed to carpenters square as this type of square has proven to be practical and sufficiently accurate for this task.

Don't like the smell of smokers around you? Think twice before you do something about it. While there's no federal law that protects smokers or entitles them to equal protections in employment, there are 29 states (along with DC) that do offer some protections for smokers. Apparently, employers in these states cannot necessarily refuse to hire people just because they smoke. Seriously.
Here's the list of states that provide employment protections to smokers, according to the American Lung Association:

It is essentially the random thoughts and opinions of someone who lives in the trenches of the war that often is employment law–he/she may well be a little shell-shocked.

This is commentary people, a sketchy overview of some current legal issue with a dose of humor, but commentary nonetheless; as if Dennis Miller were a lawyer…and still mildly amusing.

Scott341 3 years, 8 months ago on Two Newton school buses involved in accident
Two Newton school buses involved in accident
Why was no ticket issued? Per Georgia State Patrol Captain Paul Cosper "there was some bad injuries" and per NCSS Deputy Superintendent Dennis Carpenter "there was significant damage to each school bus". The comments made by these two officials would definitely lead one to believe a ticket was warranted. I understand that police officers, deputy sheriff's and even state troopers have discretion on when to issue a traffic citation, but when there is an accident and people (children) are injured a traffic citation should definitely be issued. Is it a custom or policy of the Georgia State Patrol to not issue bus drivers a ticket? Even when they are found at fault in an accident.

Don't let the power of Google+, combined with the Social Extensions, fall into the hands of your competition without taking advantage yourself.
Does anyone love your brand? Does anyone "like" it? If you can imagine more than a handful of customers and suppliers being willing to tell Google that they like you (with a plus), then you should not only enable the Google+ functionality for your own site but create a Google+ page.
Why? Right now, Google is practically bribing you to take advantage of Google+ as a business and as an advertiser with Social Extension(s). (As an aside, it's interesting that in the AdWords interface the Social Extension is listed as plural and not singular, but perhaps that's just to keep the naming aligned with the other extensions.) Anyway, back to the killer power of the Social Extension used alone or in conjunction with the Google+ platform to amplify your campaign.
Google+ Is Now Focused on Business
Google+ started as a personal social network, but Google is now clearly focusing on businesses as the catalyst for successful adoption and continued use of Google+ by consumers. Individuals - particularly those who author content or are active in sharing content - should have a Google+ profile in order to push their personal profiles into the organic search results. For business Plus pages, Google has made it clear that it behooves you to invest the time and effort into using your Google+ page as one of the touch points with your customers and prospects.
There are lots of great reasons to build a robust Google+ page and then to link that page to your AdWords account, in addition to having Google+ implemented on your site. Before we list these, perhaps it's worth clarifying a few things about how the Social Extension works by itself and how it works in conjunction with Google+ pages for business.
You can use the Google AdWords Social Extension in several scenarios:
For this reason you'll often notice different manifestations of the Social Extension under the AdWords ad text. For example, you might find messages such as the following displayed:
As you can see, the Social Extensions along with the brand Plus page pop a bit more. Any ad running with the Social Extension will beat an ad that has no extension at all. This brings us to our five reasons to turn on Social Extensions and link your Google+ page to your AdWords account.
Five Reasons to Google+ and Socialize for PPC
Fascinatingly, some of Google's largest advertisers (at least according to SpyFu) seem not to have taken advantage of the power of the Social Extension even when they have a Google+ page. Take a look when you do some brand searches and other searches where you can expect to see those advertisers in top positions. Don't let the power of Google+, combined with the Social Extensions, fall into the hands of your competition without taking advantage yourself.

I have more than one OpenID as I have tried out numerous. As people take up OpenID different suppliers are going to emerge I may want to switch provinders. As all IDs are me, and all are authenticated against the same email address, shouldn't I be able to log into stack overflow with any of them and be able to hit the same account?
closed as off topic by casperOne♦ May 22 '12 at 19:21
Questions on Stack Overflow are expected to relate to programming within the scope defined by the community. Consider editing the question or leaving comments for improvement if you believe the question can be reworded to fit within the scope. Read more about reopening questions here. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I think each site that implements OpenID would have to build their software to allow multiple entries for your OpenID credentials. However, just because a site doesn't allow you to create multiple entries doesn't mean you can't swap out OpenID suppliers.
How to turn your blog into an OpenID
STEP 1: Get an OpenID. There a lots of servers and services out there you can use. I use http://www.myopenid.com
STEP 2: Add these two lines to your blog's main template in-between the tags at the top of your template. Most all blog engines support editing your template so this should be an easy and very possible thing to do.
<link rel="openid.server" href="http://www.myopenid.com/server" /> <link rel="openid.delegate" href=http://YOURUSERNAME.myopenid.com/ />
This will let you use your domain/blog as your OpenID.
Credits to Scott Hanselman and Simon Willison for these simple instructions.
Switch Your Supplier
Now that your OpenID points to your blog, you can update your link rel href's to point to a new supplier and all the places that you've tied your blog's OpenID will use the new supplier.
In addition to the meta tag sample by Otto, you should be aware whether your provider supports OpenID 2.0 (there are numerous improvements). If it does use meta tags as the following:
A good idea would also be to use secure links, but this could limit some relying parties from signing in. This could however be solved by providing a XRDS document.
The really neat thing about XRDS is that you are able to specify multiple providers in this document. Say you have a bunch of different accounts all with different providers supporting different extensions. The relying party are then able to select the best match by itself. In the XRDS document you could also specify multiple URLs for each service, so that https is used when appropriate.
I would also recommend buying an i-name as it by design is more secure (the canonical ID - the i-number - associated with an i-name belongs to you even if the i-name expires).
When I tried it out I got a whole new account with 0 rep and no steenkin badges. So at the moment SO does not allow multiple OpenID's to be associated with the one account
No. Say you are using a Yahoo OpenID, but you decide to move to Google instead. Multiple OpenIDs per account allows you to associate your account with the Google OpenID, then deauthorize the Yahoo OpenID.
Doesn't using multiple open-id providers sort of undermine the point of open id?
The key here is to not change identities, ever. Change providers, but not identities. (this is like real life)
So new users to OpenID should first consider what their identity could be.
Users that already have some kind of website they own should choose this URL and users without a website have these options:
In the case of the identity provider supplied URL, users need to be aware that if in the future they choose to delegate or change identities in some way that its essentially a new identity and that multiple identity support with RPs (and OPs) is limited (required usually to re-associate a local account on an RP site to a different OpenID identity).

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Landon Donovan may have been displeased with his team's performance in the LA Galaxy's 4-1 loss to the Columbus Crew, but he was all smiles about the Crew's ceremony honoring the attacker prior to the match.
Flanked by Crew owner Andrew Percourt as well as former teammates Frankie Hejduk and Gregg Berhalter, Donovan appeared noticeably moved by the ceremony that included a video highlight reel of all of his goals at Crew Stadium and the presentation of a framed piece of the north net where the Galaxy midfielder scored the second goal in the USMNT's 2-0 victory over Mexico last September.
Despite a frustrating showing by the Galaxy, Donovan was moved by the honor.
"It was incredible. I don't know how many of you [reporters] were here when [Crew Stadium] was first built, but this became the home of soccer [in America] for many years. I have memories here for the U-17 national team, many games with the national teams as well as with the Quakes and the Galaxy against the Crew. I can't imagine another stadium that I've played in more throughout the league.
"I have a lot of very good memories here and I was very appreciative of them doing that. They certainly didn't have to and I certainly have a lot of respect for the Gregg [Berhalter] and the Crew organization."
But for all the kind words from Donovan, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena provided one of his trademark deadpan answers when asked if the ceremony was a distraction for the Galaxy.
"I would blame the entire game on the pregame ceremonies," Arena joked before going on.
"I think it is very nice. Landon has had a great career and to be recognized in these markets we go into, it is tremendous," he added. "Hopefully, the results don't all end up like they did tonight, but It was a tremendous gesture on behalf of the Crew. We are very grateful for that."
The ceremony honoring Donovan can be viewed in its entirety is below.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The LA Galaxy will hope to start their two-game road trip in a winning way on Saturday when they take on the Columbus Crew at Columbus Crew Stadium.
Below are a series of links, matchups to watch and a predicted score of the match.
*The match against the Crew will mark the start of a week-long road trip for the Galaxy that the club hopes will foster the type of bonding that will strength the club down the stretch run.
*Retiring Galaxy star Landon Donovan will be honored prior to Saturday's match at Columbus Crew Stadium. Marvelous at the venue for the U.S. national team, will he be able to score his first goal at Crew Stadium in a Galaxy uniform?
*Former Columbus midfielder Robbie Rogers admits that it will be "weird" to return to Crew Stadium for the first time since returning to MLS last year.
*New Galaxy acquisition Alan Gordon has traveled with the club to Columbus, but will the target forward make the impact that he's hoping to in his second stint with LA?
*Lastly, LAGalaxy.com's Larry Morgan provides a preview of the match that focuses on the Galaxy taking on former teammate turned Crew head coach Gregg Berhalter.
Juninho vs. Fredrico Higuain
Perhaps the most important matchup of the evening, Juninho -- and midfielder Marcelo Sarvas -- must be mindful of the dynamic Argentine who will seek to pull the LA midfielder out of position and create offense for the attack-minded Crew.
Gyasi Zardes vs. Michael Parkhurst
A battle of blistering speed and intelligent defensive positioning. Look for Zardes to attack Parkhurst early and often as he works in tandem with Robbie Keane to create space in the Columbus defensive end.
"It's going to be an interesting matchup for us. They like to throw a lot of numbers into the attack and we like to as well. It'll be important for us to maintain a good shape defensively and pick our spot where we can go at them." - Galaxy right back Dan Gargan on LA's game plan against the Crew.
LA Galaxy 2 (Zardes and Donovan) Columbus Crew 1 (Higuain)
LA Galaxy II player-assistant coach Laurent Courtois is retiring from professional soccer.
Courtois, 35, confirmed to LA Galaxy Insider on Friday that he has retired from soccer in order to focus on a career in coaching. The player-coach announced via Instagram earlier in the week, that he'll be returning to France as he seeks to earn his coaching credentials from the French Football Federation.
In 2014, Courtois made 11 appearances for Los Dos while tallying two goals for the Galaxy's USL PRO affiliate.
"It has been an honor to play for a great club like the LA Galaxy over the past year," Courtois told LA Galaxy Insider on Friday.
Courtois hangs up his boots after an 16-year career that included stops in the top leagues in England, Spain, France and the United States. During his time as a professional, the Lyon Academy product played for such clubs as Ajaccio, Tolouse, West Ham United, Levante, and the LA Galaxy.
In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's "By the Numbers," we look at the Galaxy's clash with the Columbus Crew on Saturday.
Check it out below.
COLUMBUS, Ohio. --The LA Galaxy kicked off their week-long road trip on Friday morning by training at the Ohio State University.
As expected, the Galaxy brought a full squad for the trip that includes new addition Alan Gordon as well as Galaxy II stalwarts Rafael Garcia, Charlie Rugg and Raul Mendiola. Following training, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena addressed the Ohio State University Men's Soccer Team, who observed the 90-minute training session.
A photo gallery of the training session is below.
The LA Galaxy will face the Columbus Crew on Saturday at Crew Stadium in Ohio.
In the latest LAGalaxy.com video piece, Robbie Rogers, Alan Gordon and Bruce Arena speak about LA's clash with the Crew.
Check it out below.
Landon Donovan will play at Columbus Crew Stadium for the final time on Saturday as he prepares to retire at the end of the season.
Donovan has enjoyed plenty of memories at the stadium for both club and country and because of his sterling career, he'll be honored prior to Saturday's match. In a video for TheCrew.com, Donovan discusses his memories of Columbus and his excitement to play in the venerable stadium one last time.
Check it out below.
LA Galaxy Academy stars Malcolm Jones and Jorge Ruiz were named to the 20-man roster for the upcoming Vaclav Jezek International Tournament from Aug. 14-24.
Both Jones and Ruiz were both instrumental in the Galaxy's U-16 U.S. Soccer Developmental Academy title. During the Academy campaign, Jones, a center back, tallied 27 appearances for the Galaxy U-16 team while Ruiz scored 13 goals in 27 games played.
Joining the U.S. U-18's is Los Angeles born forward Haji Wright, who has been a member of the Galaxy Academy for the last several years, but is currently listed by U.S. Soccer as unattached. Wright is currently in Germany training with Schalke 04's U-17 team. Reportedly joining Haji in Germany is his younger brother Hanif, who has also played within the Galaxy Academy system.
The complete U.S. U-18 roster is below.
GOALKEEPERS (2): Jonathan Klinsmann (Irvine Strikers; Newport Beach, Calif.), James Marcinkowski (San Jose Earthquakes; Alamo, Calif.)

CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy will be up against an old friend and an unfamiliar foe when they take on the Columbus Crew on Saturday at Crew Stadium.
LA will be facing a Crew team that currently finds itself in the thick of the postseason chance with 27 points which is good enough for sixth place in the Eastern Conference. Leading the Crew is former Galaxy center back and assistant coach Gregg Berhalter, who took the top job with Columbus in the offseason.
"They started off pretty strong, but they hit a little bit of a lull and have come back as of late and have played better," said Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena. "They're a certainly a team that goes forward and attacks. As you look at them, you can see that their attacking scheme is built around [Fredrico Higuian] and rightfully so because he's a terrific player and a great play maker."
While Arena focused on the specific strengths that Columbus boast, Galaxy attacker Landon Donovan made a broader claim about the difficulties of facing Eastern Conference competition.
"The east games present a different challenge [because] stylistically [because the team's play is different and we have to make sure that we are well prepared which we will be for Saturday," said Donovan. "I think inn the west, teams put more emphasis on possession while the teams in the east are more direct.
"When I watch the [Eastern Conference] games, there's not the same flow to the games as there is in the Western Conference games, it's different, but we have to adjust."
LA must use the match against Columbus as a chance to adapt to a different style of play as the club will play five of their last 14 games of the season against Eastern Conference opponents. As Arena's side seeks to challenge for the Supporters' Shield, the Galaxy boss believes that taking full points from their Eastern Conference is vital.
"It's important that we take advantage of those kinds of games," said Arena. "Because it's likely that most of our opponents in the west are not getting three points. That's just probability.

and their penetration into the market. As a result, the committee developed a range of estimates for use in this study.
For vehicle technologies, the committee used two sets of assumptions for cost and performance: (1) midrange estimates that are ambitious but reasonable goals in the committee's assessment; and (2) optimistic estimates which are potentially attainable, but will require greater successes in R&D and vehicle design. Both sets are predicated on the assumption that strong and effective policies are implemented to continually increase requirements or incentives (at least through 2050) to ensure that technology gains are focused on reducing petroleum use and GHG emissions.
Alternate assumptions were also developed for fuels to aid in assessing uncertainties. For example, several production processes were considered for hydrogen and biofuels, and both conventional generation and low-GHG-emission scenarios were considered for electricity.
In its assessment of the current state of LDV fuel and vehicle technologies and their projections to 2050, the committee built on earlier studies by the NRC and other organizations as listed in Appendix D. In addition, the committee examined publicly available literature and gathered information through presentations at open meetings. Insofar as possible, the committee assessed the fuels and vehicle technologies on a consistent and integrated basis. Its approach accounted for important effects, including the following:
The committee also considered crosscutting technologies. For vehicles, these included weight reduction and improvements in rolling and aerodynamic resistance; for fuels, carbon capture and storage (CCS). In addition, the analysis took into account sector-wide effects such as consumer preferences and potential changes in vehicle miles traveled (VMT).
The committee then analyzed the impact of the various options. Vehicle performance was projected using a model developed by the committee and its consultants that estimates the impact of reductions in energy losses. Costs were projected for expected technologies relative to a 2010 base vehicle. These analyses and the results are described in Chapter 2. Efficiencies, costs, and performance characteristics were analyzed consistently for all vehicle classes and powertrain options, with the partial exception of travel range. Fuel technologies were analyzed individually using consistent assumptions and cost data across all fuels as shown in Chapter 3.
The vehicle and fuel data were then used to forecast future LDV fleet energy use and GHG emissions using two models described in Chapter 5. VISION was used to assess technology pathways to on-road fleets in 2050 based on inputs from the vehicle and fuel analyses developed in Chapters 2 and 3. LAVE-Trans—a spreadsheet model that takes into account consumer choices (discussed in Chapter 4), which are affected by vehicle and fuel characteristics, costs, and policy incentives—was used to compare different policy-driven scenarios. These scenarios are not intended as predictions of the future but rather to evaluate the relative potential impact on future petroleum use and GHG emissions of technological success and policy options, and the resulting costs and benefits.
By their nature, all models are simplifications and approximations of the real world and will always be constrained by computational limitations, assumptions, and knowledge gaps. All the models' estimations depend critically on assumptions about technologies, economics, and policies and should best be viewed as tools to help inform decisions rather than as machines to generate truth or make decisions. The LAVE-Trans model in particular uses the committee's assumptions about technological progress over several decades, how people behave, what things cost and what they are worth. It predicts, in a formal relational structure, how the vehicle fleet composition would then evolve and what the impact would be on petroleum use and GHG emissions. Some of the LAVE-Trans results were surprising, but the committee examined them and the model, fixed mistakes, and revised assumptions, until it was satisfied with the robustness of the outputs that resulted from the inputs. Even so, there is considerable uncertainty about the results presented here. Input assumptions are estimates that may prove inaccurate. The model's handling of market relationships may be simplistic. Nevertheless, as described in Chapter 5, the results are robust for a variety of inputs, and, as long as the results are used with an understanding of the models' strengths and weaknesses, they should be valuable assets in thinking about potential policy actions.
The major results of the committee's work are listed below; additional findings and policy options are embedded in individual chapters of the report.
Finding: It will be very difficult for the nation to meet the goal of a 50 percent reduction in annual LDV petroleum use by 2030 relative to 2005, but with additional policies, it might achieve a 40 percent reduction.
Future petroleum use is likely to decline as more efficient vehicles enter the market in response to the Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standards and GHG requirements for 2025, more than compensating for the increased number

Tennis: Li reaches Indian Wells 4th round
Published on Mar 11, 2014 6:14 AM
INDIAN WELLS, United States (AFP) - Australian Open champion Li Na booked her fourth-round berth at the Indian Wells WTA and ATP Masters hardcourt tournament on Monday with a 6-3, 6-4 victory over Karolina Pliskova of the Czech Republic.
Li, the world number two and the top women's seed in the California desert, is seeking her third title of 2014.
She lifted the trophy in Shenzhen in her native China before claiming the second Grand Slam crown of her career in Melbourne in January.
Li said she was surprised by 67th-ranked Pliskova's big serve in their first WTA meeting, but she held on to win in one hour and 21 minutes.
