5.0 Mustang & Super FordsCar Reviews
2013 Shelby GT500 Chassis Development - Total Package
The 2013 Shelby GT500 is much more than a 662hp 5.8
In our March '12 issue we reported in-depth on the '13 Shelby GT500's thundering 662hp V-8. Now, along with Editor Turner's drive report on page 40 of this issue, we're able to detail the GT500's powertrain and chassis.
Like its engine, the rest of the Shelby GT500 is the work of Ford's Special Vehicle Team. A relatively small group by Ford Motor Company standards--just under 50 people, almost all engineers--SVT develops everything from the concept of what the '13 GT500 should be to the finished product. It's a big job, and when necessary, SVT interacts with mainstream Ford engineering and Tier One contractors such as Roush Industries to get the job done.
Internal goals for the new GT500 were set by SVT using a combination of existing sales data, customer surveys, and rigorous market analysis. Like seemingly everything at Ford, the proposed GT500 attributes were weighed in statistical computer simulations to arrive at goals we enthusiasts would respond to. What emerged as notable GT500 goals were 650 horsepower and a 200-plus-mph top speed.
Jamal Hameedi, chief engineer at SVT, emphasizes the GT500's power goals were set relative to the Boss 302 and well before Chevy's ZL1 Camaro numbers were known, but clearly Ford's go-big-or-go-home attitude paid off nicely.
Frankly, we were a little surprised at the 200-mph goal. Top speed hasn't traditionally been a Mustang selling point, but Ford is apparently thinking otherwise these days. Our guess is the double century simply serves notice that the GT500 is a no-excuses car, a new sort of Mustang exotic. Plus, with global sales planned in places such as Germany and especially the Middle East, ultra-velocity bragging rights are a must. Actually, "due to aerodynamic considerations," the convertible GT500 is speed-limited to 155 mph, which ought to be sufficient to thoroughly muss your hair. The coupe remains unfettered by a speed limiter and is drag-limited.
Understandably SVT isn't eager to pin a definite top speed to the 2013 Shelby other than 200-plus mph. For sure it has gone 202 mph while testing at Nardo, Italy, but weather (air density) is the final arbiter of precisely how fast a GT500 will go. It's all academic in North America anyway as there are precious few places to go that fast, even on a track.
A bit surprising is the lack of an automatic transmission. We think SVT wanted the option, but there is no existing automatic that can handle the 5.8's torque, and the GT500 development budget couldn't fund an all-new transmission, so it's three pedals all the way. You got to love it.
Thanks both to the higher torque of the 5.8 engine and the higher speed it propels the car to, every major component of the '13 GT500 driveline is new or substantially upgraded. In turn, the new power and speed required retuning the suspension, plus notable upgrades in supporting systems such as fuel delivery and electronic controls. All of which underscores the point that simply putting more boost to a '12 GT500 will not deliver a '13 GT500--the new car is a cohesive mix of upgraded mechanicals, electronics, aerodynamics and support systems.
With the new 5.8 engine thoroughly detailed in our March '12 issue, we'll start off where we left off--at the clutch. Beginning with the dual-disc '12 clutch, SVT found that the metal portions of the clutch--the flywheel, pressure plate and pressure plate "hat"--could withstand the additional 100 lb-ft of torque from the 5.8-liter engine, but the friction portions of the system and clamping load needed upgrading. Furthermore, SVT wasn't pleased with the speed of clutch disengagement on the '12, so that was also on their to-do list.
Thankfully the flywheel and pressure plate were originally designed to accept up to 260mm-diameter friction materials, and so the clutch disc diameters grew from 250 mm to 260 mm, but the nodular-iron flywheel and pressure plate are carryover items. To get the desired faster clutch travel--especially the release--the marcel springs, friction material, and hydraulics were all adjusted.
Hydraulically, the need was to increase flow volume, so SVT increased the master cylinder bore diameter. This reduced the hydraulic leverage in the system at the same time the clutch spring pressure had been increased, so clutch pedal effort rose considerably. An over-center spring was therefore added to the pedal arm to drop pedal effort back to something similar to the '12 level, but ultimately the end result is that the '13 clutch is a little heavier to the driver.
SVT's goals for the Tremec TR-6060 six-speed manual transmission were to bring its torque capacity in line with what the 5.8 was dishing out, along with adjusting its gear ratios for increased driveability. The existing gear ratios were too deep--provided too much torque multiplication--which resulted in hair-trigger clutch engagements, clunky herk-and-jerk throttle response, and generous tire smoke instead of acceleration.
For starters, SVT numerically lowered the final drive ratio in the rear axle from 3.55 to 3.31; in the gearbox, First gear was lowered from 2.97 to 2.66. Second, Third, Fifth, and Sixth gears were altered only slightly, mainly as required to accommodate different tooth pitches in the new, mechanically-stronger gears. Fourth gear is 1:1 and remains unchanged.
For higher torque capacity, the entire gearbox was reviewed, with practically all bearings and shafts made larger or changing styles. A new pocket bearing between the input and output shafts was developed, because this bearing is encased by other mechanicals and doesn't receive much lubrication. So the old tapered roller bearing was replaced by a two-bearing arrangement using one thrust and one needle bearing.
Finite Element Analysis showed the loads from the greatly increased road speed required more ribbing to the transmission's tailshaft housing casting and the clutch housing. Even with the reduced final drive, the ability to hit 200 mph makes us recall the loads going into the transmission and driveshaft are mainly a function of the shaft speeds squared, so the high-speed '13 car is transmitting significantly higher inputs into the driveline. Slight retuning of the transmission and engine mount cushions was done strictly for reduced NVH.

Martavious Foster has shown his skill as a powerlifter and as a tight end on the football team for the Starkville Yellowjackets during the last school year.
The ability to throw the disc for the SHS track team may be his most impressive contribution to the athletic program to date.
Foster threw the disc 152-8 at the region meet last week to reach second-team United States Elite Status.
It has been a steady progression for Foster in throwing the disc.
"It was just practice," Foster said. "When I first started, I think my first throw was like 78 (feet). As the season progressed and we kept going to meets, I started getting personal bests. I started out about 97 at our first official meet, then went to 114, 127, 135, 141 and 152."
Along with Foster, the members of the 4x200 relay team of the Jackets also made second-team second-team U.S. Elite.
"National Elite means you are one of the top in the nation, but that could be top 20, or it could mean top five," Starkville track coach Chris Barnett said. "There is a certain qualifying mark and if you hit that mark, you are elite. Sometimes there can be 50 teams that hit that mark and other years there may be five teams that hit that National Elite mark."
Julien Lewis, Devin Mitchell, Gabe Myles and Jacoby Smith of the 4x200 team ran a 1:29.56 for Elite status.
The Jackets didn't have a relay team qualify for state last season so Lewis said that's been a point of emphasis.
"We came out in the first of the year to practice real hard and we've really pushed ourselves this year," Lewis said. "We wanted to come out, get our exchanges right and make everything perfect. We're still working on it, but we can get it."
Smith believes if the relay team can be sure of the exchange, a state championship can be captured in a couple of weeks.
As the sophomore member of the group, Smith wants to contribute however he can.
"I'm the only sophomore to run on the 4x200 so I have to lean on my team," Smith said.
Smith, Lewis, Myles and Mitchell all agree that hard work and dedication have allowed them to reach this level.
"We came out here when it was cold," Myles said "We were out here trying to work on these handoffs and getting it right. Our plans are to win state. You can't do it without a team so the 4x400, 4x200 and 4x100 have to be ready."
Mitchell has shown his speed on the football and baseball fields.
He said an athlete can't just show up on game day and expect to perform well.
"We run until we can't run anymore," Mitchell said of preparation in practice. "You have to put in the work in order to be the best. Being the best is something we're trying to do."
The next step in that process will be the Class 6A North State meet which will be hosted by Starkville at the Maddox Track Facility at Mississippi State on Saturday.
Several other Jackets and Lady Jackets have qualified for North State and look to take the next step to State.
Other SHS athletes on the verge of making Elite status in their events are Kamau Bostic in the 800 meters, Charles Hughes in the 110 high hurdles, Lewis in the 100-meter dash and Walker Mattox in the 3,200-meter run.
Bostic has already run a 1:59 in the 800 meters and will also run the 1,600-meter run and on the 4x400 relay team at North State. Hughes leaped the 110 high hurdles in 14.99 and will participate in the 300 intermediate hurdles and on the 4x400 relay team. Lewis' time in the 100-meter dash is 10.82 and runs on all three relay teams. Mattox has a time of 11:57 in the 3,200-meter run and is also involved in the 800-meter run and the 1,600-meter run.
As only an 8th grader, it's Barnett's belief that Mattox already has what it takes to claim a state championship in all three long-distance events.
"Walker broke 12 this past week (in the 3,200 meters) then turned around and ran a 5:29 in the mile so she's one of those making huge strides," Barnett said.
The other SHS participants at the North State meet will be Marcus Tate in the shot put, Jalan Catledge in the triple jump, 400-meter dash and 4x400 relay, Joseph MacGown in the 3,200-meter run, Stanley Childs in the long jump and 4x100 relay, Abigail Arinder in the 3,200-meter run and Elizabeth Stringer in the 1,600-meter run and 800-meter run.
Stringer is the 800-meter regional champion and Catledge is the triple jump region champion.
Barnett likes his team and likes this time of the year when he see the Jackets put forth their best and see what happens.
"We have a great group of runners this year," Barnett said. "Any of the kids who have made it this far is getting everything they've put in throughout the year. Our kids have worked hard day in and day out. It's beginning to show."

Developers: BioWare
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Engine: Microsoft Windows: Unreal Engine 3.5, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3: Mass Effect 3 engine (modified UE3)
Platforms: Microsoft Windows, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3
Release Date: March 6, 2012
Decisions from Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2 will be imported into Mass Effect 3 to keep continuity within the series. Over 1,000 variables will be pulled to shape how players experience the final chapter. Unlike in Mass Effect 2, Commander Shepard will start the game with some powers. The character creator will have more features and hair-styles included than in Mass Effect 2 and players will be able to change appearance and class when importing their character. There will be no origin-story comic for new players to help them make quick decisions without having to play the previous two games. Upon finishing the game, there will be a New Game+ option that allows players to continue playing after the main story ends or start again with their finished Shepard and collect items they missed the first time around. If players achieved a love interest in both Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2, then both previous love interests will be vying for Shepard's attention in Mass Effect 3. This "love triangle" will be resolved by the end of the game.
Locations in Mass Effect 3 will include the salarian homeworld Sur'Kesh, the asari homeworld Thessia, the turian homeworld Palaven, the quarian homeworld Rannoch, a human mining base in a Martian crater, and a giant city on Earth representing the combination of Seattle and Vancouver. Players will also return to Tuchanka - the krogan homeworld - and Illium, as well as the Citadel.
Mass Effect 3 will have more RPG elements than Mass Effect 2. For the first time in the series, players will have skills that start along a single path and then splinter into two branches where they can select only one upgrade or the other along a sequence of possibilities. Players will also be able to customize their weapons with different scopes, mods, barrels and ammo types. There will be 25 weapon mods total - five per weapon type - and each of them will have multiple power levels to collect. The game will include mini-games (although planet scanning is unlikely to return) and Hammerhead and Mako missions.
As of August 23, 2011, BioWare has confirmed the return of previous characters Liara T'Soni, Kaidan Alenko or Ashley Williams, Miranda Lawson, the Illusive Man, Garrus Vakarian, Legion, Samara, Morinth, Tali'Zorah, Urdnot Wrex, Jack, Mordin Solus, David Anderson, Zaeed Massani, Kasumi Goto, Kelly Chambers, Thane Krios, Jacob Taylor and Ambassador Donnell Udina from Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Some characters will not return if they were killed at any point during the previous games. The number of characters available as permanent squad mates will be smaller than in Mass Effect 2 for the purposes of deeper relationships and more interesting interplay, including same-sex relationships for both male and female Shepards. BioWare has also confirmed a new character called James Vega. [Source]
Mass Effect 3 will begin with Commander Shepard on Earth for trial as a result of events from the Mass Effect 2 DLC pack Arrival. During the trial, Earth is attacked by Reapers. Faced with insurmountable odds, Shepard is forced to flee the planet in order to gather support from alien civilizations and mount a counter-attack while also having to deal with Cerberus, who have decided to turn against him/her. It is possible for Shepard to lose to the Reapers.
In an interview with PSM3 Magazine, Casey Hudson said of the plot, "Mass Effect 3, in simple terms, is a little more like the first game. You're collecting pieces of a story, but the more you investigate and explore these themes, the more the game will unlock and you'll see the bigger picture. In a way, it's more of a traditional story where you're learning about things and the plot changes as you find things out." The game will complete the story of Commander Shepard. [Source]
- A rich, branching storyline: Experience a sci-fi epic with multiple endings determined by your choices and actions throughout the game.
- Massive in scope: Battle on many worlds across the galaxy as you unite the ultimate force to take back the Earth before it's too late.
- Large-scale and intelligent enemies: Battle enormous enemies and take on a smarter type of foe that will consistently challenge your best combat tactics and put you on the edge of your seat.
- Unlock a customizable arsenal: Tailor each weapon with devastating upgrades including scopes, grips, barrels and dozens of other unique attachments. Each weapon boasts its own powerful impact and visual flair.
- Unleash death from afar or go toe-to-toe: Customize your soldier and squad to engage the enemy on your terms. A huge variety of weapons, abilities and equipment allow you to combat the enemy in your preferred style of play.

DESTIN — After a few years of growing pains and a series of fits and stops, it looks like the Herrmanns are ready to get down to business.
Since 2008, the family of five has been perfecting the Shore Surfer, a modified skim board that lets children between the ages of 5 and 12 kneel rather than stand to the glide along the water line.
"It's finally come to the point that we're all set up," said Joe Herrmann, whose son Andy came up with the idea when he was 11 years old. "We look for this year, really, to be our banner year."
Watch a video of the Shore Surfer in action. >>
The first version of the Shore Surfer was unveiled in 2011 after several years of work and testing by Andy and his older sister, Katie. However, the family decided to pull it from the market last year to fix some problems customers identified.
The original Shore Surfer was made of a foam material. But that material had shortcomings, so the family selected a more durable plastic similar to what is used to make kayaks, said 21-year-old Joey Herrmann.
"We took a year or so off to basically redesign the product," he said. "It's been a process over and over again to develop the product to make sure it is something the consumer will be able to use."
The difficult decision to pause in what already was a successful venture appears to have been a wise one.
As of earlier this month, the family had 70 retailers nationwide and a few overseas that had committed to selling the product when it's ready in April, Joey said.
Another big difference this time around is that the family will not have to assemble any part of the Shore Surfer. A manufacturer in Ohio will handle that part and will ship them directly to stores or to people who order them on the Shore Surfer website.
Previously, the family handled the finishing touches and shipped the items from the garage at their home in Destin.
Andy, who is now 15 and too tall to use the Shore Surfer, says hopes are high for the business his imagination helped create.
"I've actually decided to take a drafting class," the high school freshman said. "It's kind of becoming a part of what I want to do."
His father shares his optimism. He said they're looking to branch out and even offer a boost to the local economy through job openings in their business.
"We see some big plans for it, and think the growth is going to be great," Joe Herrmann said.

The Intermountain Heart Institute receives the AHA's "Get With The Guidelines Heart Failure Gold Award" for a second year in a row
Jess Gomez
The Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute in Murray has received the American Heart Association's "Get With The Guidelines Heart Failure Gold Award" for a second year in a row for delivering excellent, evidence-based care for heart failure patients.
The recognition signifies the team has achieved 85 percent compliance for two years in treating heart failure patients according to core standard levels of care as outlined by the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology prevention guidelines.
"Because of the influence the American Heart Association has in the United States and around the world, receiving this award is a great accomplishment for our team. The AHA has very rigorous standards, and it's not easy to meet their expectations," said Deborah Budge, MD, a member of the heart failure and transplant team at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart Institute. "Receiving this award is evidence of our commitment to providing the highest quality of care for our patients in order to get the best outcomes. It's a testimony of teamwork."
Get With The Guidelines is a quality improvement initiative that equips hospital staff with evidence-based tools to help them provide better care for heart failure patients and prevent future hospitalizations.
As part of the Get With the Guidelines program at the Intermountain Medical Center Heart, heart failure patients are started on aggressive risk reduction therapies such as cholesterol-lowering drugs, beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, aspirin, diuretics and anticoagulants while they're in the hospital. They also receive alcohol/drug use and thyroid management counseling, as well as referrals for cardiac rehabilitation before they're discharged.
"Earning the Heart Association's Gold Award is a very important indication of the skill of our heart failure team and our commitment to the best practices that help our patients get better faster and avoid complications," says David Grauer, administrator and CEO of Intermountain Medical Center. "Congratulations to our team for their excellent work and extra-mile dedication."
The heart failure team provides the best heart failure care possible by bringing a variety of experts together on one team. These physicians each have their own specialties and refined skills: heart failure and transplant cardiology, cardiovascular critical care physicians, heart rhythm specialists and cardiothoracic surgeons. The program also includes pathologists, nurse practitioners, skilled nurses, social workers, financial counselors and dieticians.
The Heart Failure, Transplant and Artificial Heart Program treats more than 5,000 patients with heart failure every year and is one of only a few programs to have performed more than 1,000 cardiac transplants procedures.
The heart failure team will be recognized for its achievement at a ceremony at the AHA's Scientific Session later this year, in addition to being featured in

Tuesday morning's frigid weather caused headaches and set records along the Emerald Coast.
Click here to see photos of this morning's freezing Florida >>
By 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Okaloosa County's Water and Sewer Department already had received calls from 80 customers whose water wasn't working or whose pipes had burst.
Water and Sewer Director Jeff Littrell was worried that more residents would come home from work Tuesday evening to find their pipes had burst, and had some staff members work overtime to meet the demand.
"When it gets below 20 degrees, that's when you start having issues," said Water and Sewer Director Littrell said. "Normally, in December or January we may have a few nights where it gets down into the upper or middle 20s, but this is very unusual for it to get below 20 and stay there."
As Gulf Power's more than 430,000 customers in eight counties in Northwest Florida woke up Tuesday morning and turned up their heat, the utility used a record of about 2,690 megawatts of electricity, said Jeff Rogers, spokesman for the company.
Gulf Power's previous peak was Aug. 22, 2007, when customers used 2,634 megawatts at one time. The previous winter peak was 2,553 megawatts set in January 2010.
The cold weather did cause some minor equipment failures at Gulf Power. Rogers said about 4,000 customers reported power issues throughout the day Tuesday, but most of the problems were resolved quickly.
Tuesday's low temperature in Pensacola reached 19 degrees, which tied the all-time low for Jan. 7 set in 1924, according to Gene Jacobi with the National Weather Service in Mobile, Ala.
Jacobi said the low temperature this morning is projected to be 20 degrees. That would break the record for Jan. 8, which is 21 degrees set in 1970.

HI Tammy, The piece has arrived and it looks great. Just like the photos. Thanks for being patient with me.
Lynn Noonan Wheat Ridge Colorado
We bought a table from Dennis in late 2010. About a year later, my daughter caused some damage to the table. Dennis thought she might have exacerbated a hairline crack. Dennis drove close to two hours to our house, examined the table, took it to a craftsman to be repaired, and paid for the repair himself. That is a level of service that one rarely sees these days. It is a delight to deal with someone who looks after the customer. I would not hesitate to recommend Antiques by Design.
Andrew Gay, Vancouver.

July 5, 2015
At around 1:00 a.m., the owner of the Interco Coins and Jewelry store received a phone call. It was his alarm company telling him his store had been burglarized.
"I noticed that the glass was broken on the door."
That's the first thing Herbert Haar saw when he arrived at his jewelry store early Wednesday morning.
"There was a brick laying right here on the floor and then there was another brick laying here in the showcase right here."
The burglar broke in at exactly 12:42 a.m. and took more than $80,000 worth of jewelry. He was in and out in less than 15 seconds.
"It was just amazing how fast they worked," Ramona Haar said. "They were in and out in a few seconds so that in itself is amazing how fast they work."
It happened so fast that Herbert believes the burglar had a specific plan.
"They had been in here before and knew where the expensive jewelry and diamonds were," he said. "People like this don't need to be around. They can go out there and work like everybody else."
And for the future...
"I'm getting too old to wake up in the middle of the night with a call from the police that the alarm went off. I will have to take measures to prevent it because enough is enough."
Enough late night phone calls, enough damage and enough dealing with criminals.
Herbert says he plans to put up bars behind the glass in the front of his store to prevent any future burglaries.
The store owner is offering a reward in the case. If you have information that could help police in their investigation, call Crimestoppers at 793-7000.

SLU Honors Body Donors
|Students offer prayers from various faiths.
In the last year, more than 400 people have donated their bodies after death to Saint Louis University School of Medicine so that medical students, as well as allied health students and medical residents, could learn. On Friday, students, faculty and family and friends of the donors came together to honor and pay tribute to these men and women.
The Gift Body Program is an integral component of the medical education at Saint Louis University, according to Margaret Cooper, Ph.D., professor of anatomy and associate director of the program.
"The human anatomy course, taught during the first year of medical school, is the first step toward becoming a physician. Through dissection, our students have an incredible opportunity to study structures within the body and how they relate to one another. No computer simulated 3-D view could ever offer the in-depth view students get through dissection; it's an experience they will never forget," Cooper said.
|Students perform Nearer, My God to Thee.
"Many of the men and women who donate their bodies to Saint Louis University School of Medicine do so because they want to advance medical training and research, and to help future generations. This service is our students' way of showing their gratitude and respect for their 'first patients.'"
The Class of 2015 medical students planned the service at Saint Francis Xavier Church, which included reflections, prayers, music and thanks to those in attendance.
Nearly 1,200 guests attended the memorial service. According to Cooper, the service also provides closure for the friends and family members of the donors.
To find out more about Saint Louis University's Gift Body Program, call (314) 977-8027.
Established in 1836, Saint Louis University School of Medicine has the distinction of awarding the first medical degree west of the Mississippi River. The school educates physicians and biomedical scientists, conducts medical research, and provides health care on a local, national and international level. Research at the school seeks new cures and treatments in five key areas: cancer, liver disease, heart/lung disease, aging and brain disease, and infectious disease.
|Students placed flowers over an envelope that contained the names of all 435 individuals who donated their body last year.

Clinical trials offer patients access to promising new treatments which have not yet been approved. They offer an opportunity to help make new treatments available to all patients by helping to advance science. Patients in clinical trials receive high-quality care and are carefully followed.

If commercially available drugs are not working, then new drugs available only within clinical trials may be recommended. Depending upon the circumstances, a patient may also seek to participate in a later phase clinical trial (e.g., phase III) even from the onset of the disease.
ASH 2011 presentations that address STEP 10
The IMF is pleased to offer a number of ways to help you locate a clinical trial which may be appropriate.
This study, sponsored by Dr. Paul Richardson of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, was designed to answer a very important question in myeloma: In the era of novel drugs, is high-dose therapy (HDT) still necessary in the initial management of multiple myeloma in younger patients? In this study, the addition of HDT to conventional dose treatment (RVD) as compared to conventional-dose treatment (RVD) alone would be considered superior if it significantly prolongs progression-free survival by at least 9 months.

I am proud to announce, that I have been working on a custom rom for the Samsung Galaxy S4 for the Neowin Community.
I present you with NEOdroid, the first Android rom built for the Neowin community. In the past, the community of Neowin has built their Linux Distros, now I thought it was time to put some fun in our pockets. (pun intended)
This is a community rom and would love for everyone's help that is interested. I would love to have members make special wallpaper, sounds, boot animations, ect. This is meant to be a fun project and with everyone's collaboration, we can make something awesome.
Right now, this rom is for the S4(non octa) and plan on porting to other devices if others are interested.
For the S4, the base is CM 10.1 using the latest nightly.
I plan on moving away from CM and building straight from the source of 4.3 in the future. This rom will always use CM as the base.
Based off the latest Nightlies from CM 10.2, there are addons and tweaks made by myself and the Neowin community.
The first Release:
10.2 8-18-2013
INCLUDES HANGOUTS AND MAPS (Not Normally included in GAPPS)
IR Support WORKING (These are not currently merged in the CM 10.2 Nightlies code, until then, I will keep cherry picking them and putting in the rom)
Neowin Wallpaper and Lock Screen
If you have input what you like to see in the ROM, please let me know Anyone can be on the dev-team for this rom.
I have the first build compiled and running, however it is not ready enough for even testing.. I hope to release the first build in the next few days..
If you would like to get started, this would be a great piece of software to start off with!
With that said, you can usually always catch me in the Neowin IRC channel..
Best Answer +fusi0n , 11 August 2013 - 22:40
Seems like a REALLY odd idea. A ROM for a specific phone based upon the theme from a forum. Bearing in mind the trouble a poor ROM can cause - just seems odd. BUT, fair play
Not really.. Neowin has made some Linux distros before that were pretty neat.. It is for a specific phone at them moment because ROMs are not universal.. If this project gains the attention of other neowin members with other Android devices, I would be more than happy to port it after we have a finished S4 rom.. The base is CM.. which most custom roms are based from that..
No screenshots or videos?
No yet.. Looks pretty much like a stock ASOP ROM ATM.. Trying to optimize the build.prop and go from there..Go to the full post

Jamal Malik, an 18 year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, is about to experience the biggest day of his life. With the whole nation watching, he is just one question away from winning a staggering 20-million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, police arrest him on suspicion of cheating; how could a street kid know so much? Desperate to prove his innocence, Jamal tells the story of his life in the slum where he and his brother grew up, of their adventures together on the road, of vicious encounters with local gangs, and of Latika, the girl he loved and lost. Each chapter of his story reveals the key to the answer to one of the game show's questions. Intrigued by Jamal's story, the jaded police inspector begins to wonder what a young man with no apparent desire for riches is really doing on this game show? When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the inspector and 60 million viewers are about to find out.

The Grace Christian School Eagles had a difficult time trying to figure out Starkville Christian's 'Riddle' Tuesday night.
Chris Riddle scored a game-high 19 points as the homestanding Cougars defeated the Eagles 66-25.
After getting 12 points by halftime, Riddle added seven more in the second half, including a successful 3-pointer to end the third quarter that put SCS up 54-20.
The play of Riddle helped the Cougars remain undefeated and improved their record to 7-0.
"We knew he was capable of that and that's the best he's played all year," Starkville Christian coach Alex Thompson said of Riddle. "If we can get that from him every night, it will be good."
Grace Christian held leads of 2-0, 4-2 and 6-4 early, but the Cougars had a 7-0 run to close the first quarter to gain a 11-6 advantage of one quarter.
Starkville Christian took control of the outing in the second quarter by out-scoring the Eagles 26-12.
"As the game went on, we kind of picked up the pace a little bit, got into a rhythm and really broke it open in the second, third and fourth quarters," Thompson said. "It was good to see them bounce back from a slow first quarter and play strong like that."
Joining Riddle in double-figure scoring for the Cougars was Russell Davis with 14 points and Isaac Jamerson with 12 points.
Jamerson's night was helped along by a pair of successful 3-point field goals.
Thompson was happy to see Starkville Christian use its strengths on the court, which led to more success.
"We had a little bit more speed and height on them (Tuesday night)," Thompson said. "It was good to see our guys use that to their advantage. I think we had 31 steals so we created a lot of turnovers and got a lot of points off that."
In the junior varsity game, the Cougars won their first game of the season by defeating Grace 32-23. Josh Coggins had 10 points to lead SCS.
Girls Game
Starkville Christian 37,
Grace Christian 30
The Lady Cougars recovered from an early deficit and a charge by the visitors from Winston Academy in the second half to get the home victory.
After falling behind 8-4 in the first quarter, Starkville Christian School scored the final 10 points of the frame to gain a 14-8 advantage. Maggie Hollister and Jazlyn Douglas had four points each in the run.
The Lady Cougars held a 18-13 edge at halftime, then the Lady Eagles scored the first five points of the second half to tie the outing. A basket by Douglas got SCS going once again as it out-scored Grace 14-2 down the stretch of the third quarter to increase the margin to 32-20.
Despite another mini comeback by Grace, Douglas scored five of her game-high 13 points to keep the Lady Cougars in front.
"They came out, did what they had to do and I couldn't be more happy," Starkville Christian girls coach Luke Buckner said.
The game had a mix of varsity and junior varsity players and Buckner saw it as a good chance for some experience to be gained.
"It was a good opportunity for people who don't normally get to play. They got on the court and did good job and I'm very proud of them."

Obama's Unwise, Unnecessary Concessions
President Barack Obama talks about the fiscal-cliff negotiations during a news conference yesterday.
Why is the president back to making premature and unnecessary concessions to Republicans?
Two central issues in the 2012 presidential election were whether the Bush tax cuts should be ended for people earning over $250,000, and whether Social Security and Medicare should be protected from future budget cuts.
The president said yes to both. Republicans said no. Obama won.
But apparently Obama is now offering to continue to Bush tax cuts for people earning between $250,000 and $400,000, and to cut Social Security by reducing annual cost-of-living adjustments.
These concessions aren't necessary. If the nation goes over the so-called "fiscal cliff" and tax rates return to what they were under Bill Clinton, Democrats can then introduce a tax cut for everyone earning under $250,000 and make it retroactive to the start of the year.
They can combine it with a spending bill that makes up for most of the cuts scheduled to go into effect in January. Republicans would be hard-pressed not to sign on.
Social Security should not be part of any such deal anyway. By law, it can't contribute to the budget deficit. It's only permitted to spend money from the Social Security trust fund.
Besides, the president's proposed reduction in annual Social Security cost-of-living adjustments would save only $122 billion over ten years. Yet it would significantly harm the elderly.
It defies logic and fairness to give more tax cuts to the wealthy while cutting benefits for the near-poor.
The median income of Americans over 65 is less than $20,000 a year. Nearly 70 percent of them depend on Social Security for more than half of this. The average Social Security benefit is less than $15,000 a year.
Even Social Security's current cost-of-living adjustment understates the true impact of inflation on elderly recipients, who spend far more on health care than anyone else – including annual increases in Medicare premiums.
Hands off Social Security. If the Republicans are willing to raise tax rates on high earners but demand more spending cuts in return, the president should offer larger cuts in defense spending and corporate welfare.

While I appreciate Bob's solicitude for low income elderly, the chained CPI, if applied to the 2013 benefit increase would be 1.5% rather than 1.7% Using Bob's average of $15,000 in benefits, this is a difference of $30 per year or $2.50 per month. This seems like a pretty trivial benefit cut especially compared with other things on the table like further raising the retirement age. The idea that there is a political possibility for fully funding Social Security only with more payroll tax increases is surely folly. If we get away with doing only this, it will be an incredible victory.
Fri, 2012-12-21 15:14
The Social Security trust fund, together with payroll taxes, is sufficient to cover program benefits for more than the next 20 years. Moreover, assuming no additional funding, currently scheduled payroll taxes can provide benefits equal to those now provided, even adjusted for inflation, for the indefinite future. Given all the real economic problems we truly must address now, there is no legitimate argument for even considering Social Security modifications until the economy is fully back on its feet and long-term costs and revenues can be more accurately projected.
Fri, 2012-12-21 15:17
I think you err by assuming that Obama, like you and your readers, truly believes that cutting benefits for 85-year-old widows who depend on Social Security for the bulk of their retirement income is both cruel and unnecessary. He is a right wing Democrat whose ability to stand up for progressive policies has been shown to be weak. The Republicans know this and take full advantage. Obama gets rescued repeatedly by the ideological crazies in the Republican Congressional delegation who simply refuse any compromise whatever. It's a sad day that we have to depend on a weak reed like Obama to preserve social justice in this country.

Fri, 2012-12-21 15:26
Annual income of $15,000 may be close to the average, but here are many women who are living on a few hundred dollars a month because they earned less during their working lives due to discrimination in the workplace, or, if they worked in the home raising their children, they only get a widows pension which is also very small. For these women, who are barely getting by now, even $2.50 a month is a hardship. It is outrageous to financially squeeze these women even more.

he has proven again and again that he gets his biggest jollies from betraying his friends and getting stiffed by his enemies. he loves seeing his friends stiffed more than anything else. he lusts at seeing us getting stiffed without KY. he adores his powerful wall street friends and salivates at what they do to the poor powerless and persecuted. like his attitude towards CIA torture, drones killing children, IDF starving gaza children to death, watching working families thrown out of their homes by white men living in mansions with multiple vacation homes. the most anti-worker president since coolidge.

Not exactly, isafakir. Obama is very good to his real friends. It's those he ingenuously appeals to as "his friends" and who give votes instead of lobbying gratuities whom he is stiffing. Obama's real friends (as you note) are the banks, Wall Street, and the pharmaceutical industry that loves Obamacare -- new customers for drug companies overpriced and often useless or counterproductive products, at the public expense! -- and loathes marijuana legalization. Also, apparently, the defense industry, since no real cuts have been been proposed that even approach those that Obama would levy on the retired and disabled. I never got my ballot, being out of the country at the time, and couldn't vote. No loss, there were no real choices between center-right and far-right. There never will be again pending common Americans getting their dander up. But we are a crushed people.
Fri, 2012-12-21 16:12
Obama continues to play (or be) Weak President. I'm not hearing from a spine - stiffening Congressional Progressive Caucus telling Obama it will not vote to approve any cuts to Social Security, Medicare, etc.
I fear this "cliff" will turn into Jobs Hostage crisis. They go over the "cliff," nearly a million people start losing unemployment comp., then government contractors start laying off hundreds of thousands of workers. And then the Democrats, claiming they are forced to, agree to make significant cuts to Soc. Sec., Medicare, etc.
Desert Sun
Fri, 2012-12-21 16:16
Possible, but not a given. "Over the cliff" means savings in spending that can be redirected elsewhere. It's just a matter of how you see it, what your priorities are.
Better to ride out the "cliff" and have the money in hand, then decide how to spend it, than to hand it over a priori to the plutocrats and their minions in hastily concocted tax and public-service reduction plans.

I am exhausted from wonder why Robert Reich is not at the right hand of the President giving him the sound and accurate advice that Robert Reich so clearly gives in his site and articles. I am left to only hope and prayer that the President is reading his articles.
Yes, since "discovering" Robert Reich's website, articles, and books over 9 months ago, he continues to be a clear beacon of light in this madness. Would the world please listen to him! As an active progressive 60 yr old gay Dem in Sonoma, the 2nd bluest county in CA, I continually evoke his name and thoughts to everyone. Thank God, that Robert Reich is here now at this most critical time in American events. Please Mr. President start actively using his thoughts and advice.

Social Security benefits used to actually make the program a good investment, in terms of the return on investment, as most people would get more than they paid in. However, that isn't always true anymore. Big problem with Social Security today is the money that Congress borrowed and never paid back. Those were good faith money paid by workers and their employers to be paid to workers at their retirement. This way workers had a retirement to carry them through the golden years without having to depend on their children to provide for them.

Columbus Blue Jackets (8-12-3) at Toronto Maple Leafs (14-8-1), 7 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - The Toronto Maple Leafs will try to add another win to
what has so far been a successful homestand, as they complete the stay at Air
Canada Centre with Monday's battle against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Toronto is 3-1-0 on the homestand and was able to rebound from its lone loss
during the residency with Saturday's shootout win over Washington.
The Maple Leafs fell 4-2 to the Nashville Predators on Thursday, but bounced
back with a 2-1 decision against the Capitals. James Reimer was the hero for
Toronto, turning aside 49 shots through regulation and overtime before
standing tall in the shootout phase.
Reimer allowed Eric Fehr to score on Washington's first attempt before denying
Alex Ovechkin, Nicklas Backstrom and Troy Brouwer. James van Riemsdyk and
Joffrey Lupul scored in the shootout for the Maple Leafs, who improved to
9-3-0 as the host this season.
Toronto moved ahead on their fourth shooter when Lupul made a stutter-step
move and wristed a shot over the glove of Braden Holtby to kick off the final
round. Reimer then watched as Brouwer shot his chance over the net to end the
"I felt a little better back there tonight," said Reimer. "It means a lot to
win these games in the shootout because it's one of those little extra things
at the end that allow you to help the team get a win."
David Clarkson scored during a second-period power play, with Jake Gardiner
and Nazem Kadri picking up the helpers in regulation.
Reimer has never faced the Blue Jackets in his career. Fellow Toronto
goaltender Jonathan Bernier is 2-2-0 with a 2.52 goals against average in four
career tilts versus Columbus.
Next up for Toronto is a three-game road trip, which is set to begin Wednesday
night in Pittsburgh.
The Blue Jackets are 2-2-0 on a five-game swing that ends tonight, but
Columbus is coming off Friday's 6-2 setback in Vancouver. Columbus has
surrendered six or more goals in each loss during this trek and also dropped a
7-0 decision last Tuesday in Edmonton.
Henrik Sedin scored a pair of goals and Daniel Sedin added a goal and two
assists to lead the Canucks to the rout over the Blue Jackets. The score was
tied at 1-1 after 20 minutes, but Vancouver scored three times during a 2:10
stretch in the second period to take control of the game.
"It happened fast. We had a couple opportunities to take the lead, but they do
a great job pressuring you. They were able to finish with a few quick goals.
Obviously against a good team it is tough to recover from," said Blue Jackets
coach Todd Richards.
Matt Calvert and Artem Anisimov both scored for the Blue Jackets, losers in
five of their last seven games. Sergei Bobrovsky allowed all six goals on 35
shots in the setback.
Columbus, which is 4-6-2 on the road this season, has won its last two games
in Toronto and has taken two of three and three of the past five meetings
between the clubs overall.
Bobrovsky is 4-1-0 with a 2.21 GAA in five career outings against Toronto.

Is Chess Infinite?
Chess games have to end. I've never heard of a chess game that ended because of any other reason than by checkmate, stalemate, draw, or resignation. Draws are the most important, here. They can happen when the position is repeated three times, there is a perpetual check, or by the 50-move rule.So, that means that there is a finite number of moves in any chess game. The question is, how long is the longest possible chess game? The answer involves some math. It turns out that, after Black's 5948th move, White is able to claim a draw. Huh?The calculation goes like this. (Pawn_Moves + Captures - Duplicates + Drawing_Interval_Grace_Period) * (Drawing_Interval), or 16*6 +30 -8 +1) * 50 = 5950. You can subtract two moves from this total because sequences of Captures/Pawn_Moves must have at least 4 alternations between the two players. Thus the number 5948.Okay, now let's make some assumptions. As an extremely loose upper bound on the number of positions possible, allowing all illegal positions, and not differentiating between the various pieces, and noting that chessboards have 64 squares, both White and Black have 16 pieces, etc., we can now make a calculation. There are 64!/32! ways to place the pieces on the board. The (!) means "factorial", which is a shorthand mathematical way to indicate 64*63*62...3*2*1. For example, 5! = 5*4*3*2*1 = 120. So, 64!/32! = 4.8222 x 10^53. Read this as 4.8222 times 10 to the 53rd power. Keep in mind that this allows all positions, including illegal ones and positions which would clearly be impossible. So, the absolute maximum number of games of chess = (4.8222 x 10^53) ^ 5948. Which equals...(are you ready?)1.0516 x 10^270993Uh, this is a very big number, folks. It is 10516 followed by 270989 zeros (I moved the decimal). Just how big is this number? Well, there is a mathematical term for a pretty big number. It's called a googol, and it's equal to 10^100 (a one followed by 100 zeros). There is a bigger number. It's called a googolplex, and it is equal to a one followed by a googol of zeros.Uh, okay, how big are these numbers? According to most astrophysicists, the total number of atoms in the observable Universe is somewhere between 10^72 and 10^82. While this is a mammoth number, it is far less than even a googol, never mind the mind-boggling googolplex.Still having trouble wrapping your head around these numbers? Okay, consider this. A billion is a puny 10^9. If you counted to one billion at the rate of one number per second, how long do you think it would take you to count to a billion? The answer is 32 years. Starting to get the picture?So, while the number of possible chess games is larger than a googol, which makes it far larger than the number of atoms calculated to be in the visible Universe, it is not larger than a googolplex.So, chess is not infinite. But, it sure seems that way.

uuh people you don't have to claim a draw. so the longest game can last much longer than the 6000th move.
old topic but very inspiring.
chess is clearly not finite in terms of space, nor time as always has an end point. (spatially and temporally)
music could be finite as it theoretically possible to have an endless piece of music. music is Art is art is art. There are no rules. eg a note held forever (theory) is art is music.
does art have to have infinite potential?? is chess therefore not art??
the music analogy is a bad one, for a start, the basic (only) element of music is sound, and there is an infinite range of sounds between high and low range. the notes e, c, d etc are conventions, and only approximatiions. between c and d on a scale is a limitless range of sound. like our sense of sight, it is seemless. but a chess piece is either on d4 or it isnt on d4, it cant be almost on d4, or more on d4, it is or isnt.
That many possibilities? I knew there were a lot, but not that many. Is that more than enough dollar bills, stacked one on another, to stretch over the width of the Milky Way 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times over? Amazing....
Fun responses. You folks are narrowing the number down a bit, which is good, because the entire intent of my column was to show that chess was not infinite, but bounded on the upper end.
Have fun calculating!

Grakovsky, please help me out here. What is the true purpose of chess?
I've been grappling with the true purpose of life for a long time, not coming up with more than a seemingly solid confusion on it. so I decided to simplify my search for "true Meaning" and decided to define the "true Meaning" of chess. But again, due partly to the googolplexitys of it, have ended up confused.
I'm not sure I can understand the true purpose of it, unless we define the true purpose.
so tell me: What is "the true purpose of it" as you see it???
anyone less confused than I, feel free to chime in here and help me reduce my googolplexed confusion.
Way to put math into Chess. Interesting facts :)
Chess is not infinite, but it is, so far, intractable.
This is interesting. really big number.
Anyway somebody said that the number of 5-minute compositions possible is finite, and I'd just like to point regarding that statement, that in order for it to be true, time, frequency, volume, timbre and all other elements of sound and rhythem have to be incosistant.
I'm not sure, but I think they are, according to quantom theory.
Thank God chessclocks were invented and time control established.
I think davidetal is probably right - music Must be limited by a finite number. But the number of every single possible combination of frequencies that can be heard by the human ear in, say, a five minute period, would be Astronomically larger than the number of possible chess games. So no, music isnt infinite. But the number of possible compositions, when you consider how many different sounds could be heard in a single nanosecond, is inconceivably large.
Mr. Zug, this article was most inspiring. No human ever has cause to quit playing chess when you consider the numbers.
I dont know what you just wrote but i know for a fact that the number of possible chess games is around 10^123, which is a HUGE, ENORMOUS NUMBER!
i get it. list every opening, and just eliminate every possible chain reaction as you go. then start with a new opening not counted yet, eliminate every possible chain reaction as you go. wash, rinse, repeat until you've gone through all possible openings. then add up all the chains counted in each opening, and you get your grand total. I avoid using numbers because i also avoid the headache, but get the gist of it
To davidetal:
No, the analogy doesn't fit. Chess has a finite playing surface and a finite number of pieces. Music, on the other hand, has no such limitations. I have read articles by musicians who are also mathematicians (although I can't give you a reference - sorry) who state that the number of possible compositions may well be infinite.
Thanks for reading...
I was entertained, as well as intrigued:) Though the maths involved far exceed my abilities, which is limited to working out how much the Global Financial Crisis has cost me, so far:(
The question posed - is chess infinite? - is certainly answered, to a certainty. The question - what is the number of legal positions or games? - is a different question.
By analogy, am I right in assuming the number of musical compositions is also limited?
Thanks heaps, zug:)
I don't think that chess has any purpose beyond puzzle solving.
To devaj:
You said, "finding a number bigger than the real number doesn't really answer the question".
But of course it does. The question was, "Is chess infinite?", not "Exactly how many chess games are possible?" Finding a number larger than the actual shows that chess is indeed not infinite.
You also said, "the resulting number of chess games is way above the real number. does it represent something useful? if you can't figure this out, ask someone who can, but don't pretend to have addressed the problem."
Sigh...this column is intended for entertainment. As a matter of fact, a part of your question was entertaining: "does it represent something useful?" Of course not! I did it for fun, which is the spirit in which it should be read.
Regards, Mike Petersen
lost me on the first line....
wanna explain again?
as the first post points out, finding a number bigger than the real number doesn't really answer the question. the 5948 number was not explained very well. then, taking the number of arrangements (which is itself way above the possibilities) to the 5948 power is just ridiculous, so much so as to be insulting to the reader - it suggests we could move from any arbitrary arrangement to any other one for the maximum number of moves. the resulting number of chess games is way above the real number. does it represent something useful? if you can't figure this out, ask someone who can, but don't pretend to have addressed the problem.
Sure, but keep in mind that the calculations are based on every position on the board... Now, I do understnd the reason that those assumptions were made was to simply the math; but it does beg the question.
I am not up to the challenge, but I am curious as to how many POSSIBLE, LEGAL positions there are on a chess board. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of the positions are neither possible nor legal.

This week we avoided that plunge over the fiscal cliff. Not only did Democrats and Republicans reach a consensus that taxes must increase, but in a final dramatic hour they even agreed on the specifics.
The tragedy in Newtown, Conn., has many of us revisiting recent horrors where unstable citizens in our own communities committed the unspeakable crime of killing off-duty police officers, a sleeping father, a park ranger and far too many others. Yet even these senseless crimes pale in comparison with the terrifying violence visited last week on children at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Vermonters claim their state has the most gorgeous foliage of all — and the 24,000 residents of Lamoille County will tell you that what they see in their 16 towns and villages can't be topped. Follow along on these two back-road drives through the heart of the county, and see whether you agree.
Depending on when you time your trip, the colors will be either descending toward the greener valley or brightening the lowlands as the summits turn the dun shades of late autumn.
Loop One: South Through the Pass
The village of Jeffersonville, in west-central Lamoille County, is the starting point for this 42-mile journey, which includes the steep, snaking road through Smugglers' Notch. Take Route 108 south (Mountain Road) out of "Jeff," climbing as you follow the swift little Brewster River. That's Madonna Peak directly ahead on your way out of town; as you pass an open field on the right about a mile up, though, the dominant view to the south is of Mount Mansfield's Chin — at 4,395 feet, the loftiest point in Vermont.
Toward the left, the scarlets and oranges of red and sugar maples spread across the foothills of Whiteface (a.k.a. Sterling) Mountain; farther along, near the main entrance to Smugglers' Notch Resort, yellow birches crowd the road. If you want to enjoy the colors nearer the uppermost portions of the Notch, you'll have to be content with more subdued hues down below, as the higher reaches of Mountain Road — and, even more, the steep slopes that hem it in — will peak a week or two earlier.
There's a good deal of birch near the crest, and their yellow turns golden as sunlight filters down between the beetling cliffs. Beyond, as you begin the descent into Stowe, blazes of red maple spread across Mansfield's southern flanks.
"Red maples do well on poor growing sites," explains Lamoille County Forester Ray Toolan, "and these trees shut down and change color early."
For a grand gaze down into the valleys and as far west as Lake Champlain, take the Mount Mansfield Toll Road to the Nose of the mountain's recumbent profile; the entrance is roughly halfway between the crest of the notch and Stowe. Or continue into the village, forking left onto Route 100 and heading toward Morrisville. Elmore Mountain looms ahead, beyond farm fields bordered with maples.
To skip Morrisville's bottleneck streets, shunt off left (and then quickly right) onto Cady's Falls Road (about 1.2 miles north of the Morrisville-Stowe Airport). It skirts Lake Lamoille and its reflected hardwoods and reaches Hyde Park by way of a one-lane bridge just before the village. Bear left onto Main Street in Hyde Park and head through town; keep an eye out for a horse-chestnut tree whose leaves blaze yellow in the fall. Off Main Street is a gravel road paralleling the "Ten Bends" section of the Lamoille River; it joins Route 15, which heads through Johnson to Jeffersonville.
