Apple working on a fix for 'fraction-of-a-percent' experiencing iMessage problems
iMessage has been frustrating some people following the iOS 7 software update. Either not sending, not receiving, or just plain not working. We've given you some potential iMessage fixes to try, which might help, at least temporarily. However, a proper fix looks like it's on the way from Apple. The Wall Street Journal:
"We are aware of an issue that affects a fraction of a percent of our iMessage users, and we will have a fix available in an upcoming software update," Apple said in a statement. "In the meantime, we encourage any users having problems to reference our troubleshooting documents or contact AppleCare to help resolve their issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes impacted users."
A fraction of a percent sounds small, but with hundreds of millions of people on iOS 7, even a fraction of a percent is a large number. In our iMessage poll yesterday, roughly 50% of iMore readers claimed to be experiencing problems with iMessage. So, hopefully the fix arrives sooner rather than later.
The advantage of Apple's new over-the-air (OTA) system is that it can deliver small updates more easily. Let's see how well it's put to use.
Meanwhile, if you're a small fraction of a percenter, let me know in comments!

Apple working on a fix for 'fraction-of-a-percent' experiencing iMessage problems
I'm a fraction of a percenter and I'm really glad a permanent fix is on the way. Resetting network settings is a bit of a drag...
Sent from the iMore App
I've been having to revert back to SMS more than usual and my messages have been getting hung up towards the end of "sending." Doesn't look like I've been experiencing the issues others have though.
Yeah sometimes mine get hung up on sending, so I reboot and it says not delivered. Try again and it sends fine.
People have suggested resetting your network settings. I did that and it made my iMessage finally work again.
Unfortunately, this doesn't always work. I've only found that a reboot "resolves" the issues every time.
Very similar experience here.
Is anyone experiencing a data leakage with their 5S? My data is at 1.5 Gb used, and I've had the phone for about a week. If so, is this an iOS 7 issue? Or the phone it self?

PS. I don't believe I've used that much data. I'm on wifi most of the time anyway.
PPS. I'm on verizon and I use the myverizon app to tell me how much data I use...

Here's the fix: Turn off iMessage. It sucks. It's horrible. It ruins lives.
Actually, the only reason I don't use it is because it uses data and I was dumb and changed to the 2 gig limited plan.
No data use between iDevices.
?? I don't think that's quite right. There is no separate SMS charge, but there is data charge.
What all do you do in terms of data that you can't have iMessage on? That's crazy!
I help manage a fleet of some old iPhone 4's (not 4S haha) we've only had one complaint about the iMessage iOS 7 update. Had her turn iMessage off than back on...seems to have worked!

Apple just sounds so arrogant and douchey with that "fraction of a percent" comment. Like that fraction doesn't matter, but they'll grace them with a fix because they're so magnanimous.
Agreed and it means nothing regarding total number of people affected. 9/10 of 99% is a "fraction of a percent" and that would be a high number of total iOS 7 users.
"We are the 0.99%" :)
I believe they meant 1/10 of 1000%.
Any one experiencing blue tooth problems? Calls keep dropping while talking in car. Never had it before , also sometimes not connecting for a long time.
My iMessage did not work for two days but and the messages didn't automatically send as text after a while either. I had to reset my phone and then it started working again.
sending status was fixed after rebooting iphone 4s. 3 days of "sending" status!!!
Not fun. I have this problem. I've followed their solution but can only do some of them. Instead I deleted ALL of my texts. Not fun.
Both my 5 and the wife's 5 will sometimes show the progress bar as it is sending, then it will quit just before the end. Tried a number of things, but the only thing that works is powering the phone off/on. Going back the the message and hit "try again" sends it without delay.
I had iMessages and Bluetooth control issues (car steering wheel controls didn't work) on my 5. I think I've fixed both. I "burned it down" and did an install and didn't restore. Just set everything up from new. Thank God for 1Password! I have unique random passwords for everything.
My sister, daughter and myself were having problems with messages being sent via SMS not iMessage - it worked with some iPhone contacts but not others. Bouncing my iPhone 5 worked - I've only had to do this once, but my sister has restarted her 4s a couple of times.
Didn't participate in the survey because the options didn't suit our situation - iMessage was neither great or terrible.

My family is all having issues with it (me, my husband, and my daughter). The full power down/up usually resolves it, but it seems to happen frequently and powering down all the time is a PITA. Will try the iMessage off/on next time. One other quick 'fix' for us, since we have unlimited texting, is to tap and hold the message that isn't going out and Send as Text Message.
I started having this problem yesterday. The Reset of Network Settings fixed worked for me but for how long.
Mine was a problem until I rebooted phone. My wife's phone is a whole nother story. Lol

Hey we've just been marginalized by Apple. That's swell. :/
Tried the first troubleshhoot turning off
I have tried all three "fixes". None have worked for my 4s. It will sometimes send iMessage to an iPod. But it won't send messages to other iPhones at all.
None work, if they do it's temporary.

I've had this problem ever since updating to iOS 7 and it was there a little bit with iOS 6 as well on my 5 with the same reboot fix for both. Annoying as used to not having to watch it send (especially when in wifi) and now have to make sure it goes the whole way...just annoying is all.
As we can see here, this is obviously not a "fraction of a percent" problem, unless that percent is close to 100%. Typical Apple denial which ends up backfiring. A fraction of a percent also had problems with their antenna on the 4, and with Siri connectivity on the 4s.
Out of the 3 iPhones ( two 5's and one 4S) in our house I am the only one having an issue with iMessage on a regular basis. Resetting definitely solves the problem temporarily. I went for a day or so with no issue and then it happened yesterday again. It is not the end of the world, but it is frustrating. I can also see why some people may be bothered by the way Apple phrased their comment about the issue. They could have just stated that a fix was coming. That's all I need to know.
All 6 of the iPhones in my house (4, 4 5's, and a 5s) seem to be having issues with sending iMessages back and forth. It's seemed to be mainly the 5's. It is a PITA having to reboot and I really hope they fix this soon!
no offense to apple but..*cough**cough*...CORPORATE PLAYING WORD GAMES...."a fraction of a percent of our iMessage users" ? says apple.... really apple? with all due respect a fraction of a percent of apple is still pretty damn huge fraction. Besides, does this situation really look like it is worth being addressed as "a fraction of a percent"? makes me , a long time apple product fan, feel almost like apple regarding us who are experiencing this issue "negligible". made me question about "new" apple management to be honest :( At least have guts to admit the issue and simply notify consumers that fix is on the way just like it always have been? instead of using the words "a fraction of a percent"? If apple really said what this article claims, it would be very unprofessional of them.
Same here in the UK! on EE 4G network after update my imessage is playing up. My mates tells me he never received my msgs and i got it as delivered lol.......
Had to turn off iMessage-reset network settings-restart iMessage for proper operation on 2 iPad 3's and two iPhone 5's
I have had to reboot (turn off phone then turn on) almost everyday due to imessage not completely sending. The other day I didn't receive calls or voicemails in the afternoon and calls were not going through.I never had this problem prior to the ios7 update. So frustrating!
My wife and I are experiencing the iMessage bug.
I had not had any issues with iMessage since upgrading to iOS 7 until today. In fact, it had been more reliable than it was under iOS 6. But I got bit today. Rebooting didn't work. Ended up resetting my network settings, and then things went through finally.
I had no issues with iMessage to start with on iOS 7. However, just the other day it started acting up on me and wouldn't let me send them, but I could receive them. To which I deleted all conversations, closed all apps, and did a soft reset, and after that, everything was perfectly fine.

I am one of the "fraction of a percent" of users having issues. It started Friday 8/30 with iMessages that were stopping their sending process about 95% of the way...
...sent multiple as Text Messages.
...turned off iMessage.
...reset Network Settings.
...powered on/off.
I have tried a lot of things since Friday and iMessage has worked at times since Friday.
It's sporadic and I'm hoping for a quick fix.
iOS 7.0.2/iPhone 5/Vzw
I have been experiencing iMessage issues as well. The status bar goes almost all the way across and can sit there sometimes for hours if I minimize it and forget about sending a message!
I have started experiencing problems. Seems the worst is Apple to Apple messages.
My wife and I both are having issues. Imessage will work temporary after restarting iphone. We gave up and just turned imessage off.
Recently iPhones have been unable to send my android phone text messages.
I think all of the iPhones think that my phone has imessage because it attempts to send every message as an imessage rather than a text message. Is there a reason that iPhones can no longer send me text messages?
I have never had an iPhone, imessage or associated my current phone number with any apple accounts, I have had iphone users delete my contact info and re add.... didnt work. Put on the setting "send as SMS when imessage fails".... didnt work.
I have contact my service provider and phone manufacturer who both claim that the issue lies on Apples side. I contacted Apple who said that the issue is on my service provider or phone manufactuers' side.
Either way, I am very frustrated with this and would really like to remedy the problem.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.-- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Mocs volleyball team () returns to Maclellan Gym Friday and Saturday night for its final two home matches of the 2012 season.
Friday night's match against UNC Greensboro (13-11, 7-5 SoCon) begins at 6 p.m. and will serve as Bone Marrow Donation Awareness night. The match will be played in honor of the late Eddie Parman, the father of senior outside hitter Heather Parman (Ooltewah, Tenn.), and the late Dr. Carolyn Thompson, the wife of former UTC chancellor Dr. Roger Brown. Both of which passed within a month apart in early 2012 due to cancer and bone marrow failure.
Friday night is also the first opportunity for students to pick up their tickets for the Tennessee basketball game after the match. Each individual will be allowed to pick up his or her ticket, plus one additional, with two valid UTC Mocs Cards.
Saturday's match will also begin at 6 p.m. with Senior Night celebrated beforehand. Before the match, seniors Parman, Meagan Ernd (Munster, Ind.), Paula Passmore (Merritt Island, Fla.) and Christina Teter (Signal Mountain, Tenn.). The Mocs take on the Elon Phoenix (14-13, 7-5 SoCon) for the final match of the season.
The Spartans ride a three-match winning streak into Chattanooga Friday. The last meeting between the two teams was a 3-1 victory for UNCG at Fleming Gymnasium in Greensboro, N.C., on Oct. 6. Greensboro ranks fifth in the SoCon with 13.06 kills per set and 12.00 assists per set. The Spartans are still in the hunt for the top-spot in the SoCon, tailing the 9-2 Samford Bulldogs. Junior Karrian Chambers leads the Spartan offense with 319 kills.
The Elon Phoenix dropped the Mocs 3-0 on Oct. 5 in the teams' last matchup. Elon is the seventh-best hitting team in the league with a .191 percentage, and its blocking is sixth in the SoCon with 1.92 blocks per set. Freshman Megan Gravley is averaging 3.06 kills per set, totaling 297 kills on the season, and sophomore Kris Harris is averaging 0.89 blocks per set.

HP/Palm announce Pre 2, webOS 2.0 [the competition]
webOS 2.0 review, Palm Pre 2
HP/Palm have officially announced webOS 2.0 and the Palm Pre 2. Dieter, covering it for our sibling site PreCentral.net, says:
WebOS 2.0 is without question the biggest webOS update we've seen since Palm first unveiled webOS at CES in January 2009. You could argue that the main features -- Stacks, Just Type, Exhibition, improved speed, and a bevy of developer tools are mainly evolutionary and you wouldn't be wrong. However, the sum of these updates adds up to an OS that is coming into its own. Rather than try to play catch-up with Apple's iOS and Google's Android, HP chose to bolster webOS' advantages over those platforms. webOS 2.0 is not a me-too operating system.
Odd, though, that HP/Palm dumped it in a press release, and once again right before an Apple event (though iOS and iPhone shouldn't have much, if any role to play tomorrow). The original Palm Pre and webOS unveiling at CES 2009 deservedly won best of show, and Palm out engineered Google at their own game last year -- creating a web-based, connected, mobile device. HP can solve the money problems, Palm can solve the carrier problems, but now they both have to solve the momentum problem.
Check out Dieter's webOS 2.0 in 10 minutes video, then come back and let us know what you think.

HP/Palm announce Pre 2, webOS 2.0 [the competition]
Hard to believe HP wasted webOS 2.0 on this device and missed any marketing opportunities (press release??). The Pre should've been abandoned. All users on Verizon or Sprint wanted was a slab phone (like the iphone). Android makers filled that need. And Palm/HP still doesn't get it.
If there is a slab in the future, then the best thing to do was to wait and polish that OS some more...many features still look half baked such as music player. This pre2 will be more negative than positive in trying to rebrand. If that's even what HP is attempting.
This is DOA. Same 3.1" screen..same resolution from 2008. What was HP thinking? This is sure to build momentum for a palmpad..lol
HP should stick with microsoft. At least they require certain specs.
Yup, slider. Some of us don't have thumbs that do virtual keyboards very well. I may sell my iPhone 4 and get one just for the convenience.
Then I guess HP needs to update their info. Check it: www.hp.com/hpinfo/execteam/bios/hurd.html
Meh, I loved webOS. Got the Pre when it came out on Sprint. I dealt with the glitches and jitters I got when using it, but a year later scrolling through list was still stuttering, apps took forever to load, and God forbid you ever turn this thing off because it took 3-5 minutes to boot. Plus the hardware was cheap.
This does not make me want to switch back from iPhone 4, a year and a half and what have they done?
Software looks good, but then again that was never Palm's problem. Form factor and build quality killed the Pre and a lack of credible hardware killed the Pixi.
Hopefully, this is just a measure to remain in consideration until another handset come along. I don't see an updated Pre on anyone's short list.
I really think this is a "transition" or "holdover" device for HP. Kinda like when HP took over the Compaq iPap line of PDA's. This hardware was probably sitting around in Palm's engineering labs ready for 2.0. I think HP is hard at work getting kick-butt hardware ready for webOS 2.0. That being said, HP is in a precarious situation with the life of webOS hanging by a thread both in market and mindshare (both consumers and developers).
As a current Palm Pre owner, I'm so unimpressed. A hardware refresh on a feature lacking OS does not keep me part of a captive audience.
This has just caused me to hoist the white flag. I give up. I tap out. I can't take this anymore. I'm finally buying an iPhone and will pay Sprint the prorated $60 to escape my contract.
Welcome to the dark side lol I'm on the same boat as you. I had a pre for about 3 months since launch day. I got fed up with the crappy hardware and got a 3GS which just felt and looked like a nice piece of quality. Now got the iPhone 4 and it is amazing. Just make sure you jailbreak to really make it enjoyable like with bitesms, 3G unrestricted, sbsettings, mywi, winterboard, and tons of other stuff.
@The_Reptile - "Form factor and build quality killed the Pre and a lack of credible hardware killed the Pixi."
I'm going to be nice and just say that build quality and lack of PalmOS development led to Palm's failure as an independent company. Palm did nearly everything possible to avoid improving PalmOS, short of burning down their headquarters building.
I know. I was a long-suffering Palm user. I had a Handspring Visor, Treo 180, Treo 600, and got a Treo 680 in December '06. Just one month before iPhone was first announced. Oops.
And how much did PalmOS advance during that 7 year period? Let me count the ways:
1. Color
2. Phone software
3. Teensy resolution increase
4. Chiclet keyboard support
I could say how much I wish Palm would, in fact, physically burn to the ground, but I won't.
But seriously, HP should consider arson.
that's because the formfactor is unique and uncommon. doesn't mean some ppl don't prefer it over slab or landscape kb or bb style kb. at any rate, if you want a webos device, wait till ces 2011 in jan. for hp to announce the new phones (and tablet), one of which i imagine will replace your iphone slab with a v-kb. the pre2 was likely the last and only palm phone in the pipeline before hp picked up the comp.
I have a palm pre now. I will NOT have Palm Pre 2.0. My next phone will be an iphone.
hate the form factor, old standards, small screen, laggy os, NO major apps and that's not changing soon. Bottom line webos 2.0 isn't even addressing my concerns. they are on some other stuff.
Nice stepping stone refresh to accompany their webOS 2.0 release. It's not a "super" phone but it does what it should for its market segment. Rather they do this Pre refresh than delay webOS 2.0 until after CES. It's a decent holder over design that will fix issues with the Pre classic and improve some on the Pre Plus.

- Suppression of dilepton production at finite baryon density (1993)
- We study dilepton production from a quark-gluon plasma of given energy density at finite quark chemical potential μ and find that the dilepton production rate is a strongly decreasing function of μ. Therefore, the signal to background ratio of dileptons from a plasma created in a heavy-ion collision may decrease significantly.
- Thermal photons as a measure for the rapidity dependence of the temperature (1995)
- The rapidity distribution of thermal photons produced in Pb+Pb collisions at CERN-SPS energies is calculated within scaling and three- fluid hydrodynamics. It is shown that these scenarios lead to very different rapidity spectra. A measurement of the rapidity dependence of photon radiation can give cleaner insight into the reaction dynamics than pion spectra, especially into the rapidity dependence of the temperature.
- Pion and thermal photon spectra as a possible signal for a phase transition (2005)
- We calculate thermal photon and neutral pion spectra in ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions in the framework of three-fluid hydrodynamics. Both spectra are quite sensitive to the equation of state used. In particular, within our model, recent data for S + Au at 200 AGeV can only be understood if a scenario with a phase transition (possibly to a quark-gluon plasma) is assumed. Results for Au+Au at 11 AGeV and Pb + Pb at 160 AGeV are also presented.
- Nucleus-nucleus collisions at highest energies (1996)
- The microscopic phasespace approach URQMD is used to investigate the stopping power and particle production in heavy systems at SPS and RHIC energies. We find no gap in the baryon rapidity distribution even at RHIC. For CERN energies URQMD shows a pile up of baryons and a supression of multi-nucleon clusters at midrapidity.
- Hypermatter : properties and formation in relativistic nuclear collisions (1995)
- The extension of the Periodic System into hitherto unexplored domains - anti- matter and hypermatter - is discussed. Starting from an analysis of hyperon and single hypernuclear properties we investigate the structure of multi-hyperon objects (MEMOs) using an extended relativistic meson field theory. These are contrasted with multi-strange quark states (strangelets). Their production mechanism is stud- ied for relativistic collisions of heavy ions from present day experiments at AGS and SPS to future opportunities at RHIC and LHC. It is pointed out that abso- lutely stable hypermatter is unlikely to be produced in heavy ion collisions. New attention should be focused on short lived metastable hyperclusters ( / 10 10s) and on intensity interferometry of multi-strange-baryon correlations.
- Nonequilibrium fluid-dynamics in the early stage of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions (1997)
- To describe ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions we construct a three-fluid hydrodynamical model. In contrast to one-fluid hydrodynamics, it accounts for the finite stopping power of nuclear matter, i.e. for nonequilibrium e ects in the early stage of the reaction. Within this model, we study baryon dynamics in the BNL-AGS energy range. For the system Au+Au we find that kinetic equilibrium between projectile and target nucleons is established only after a time teq CM H 5 fm/c C 2RAu/³CM. Observables which are sensitive to the early stage of the collision (like e.g. nucleon flow) therefore di er considerably from those calculated in the one-fluid model.
- "Soft'' transverse expansion and flow in a multi-fluid model without phase transition (1997)
- Abstract: We study transverse expansion and directed flow in Au(11AGeV)Au reactions within a multi-fluid dynamical model. Although we do not employ an equation of state (EoS) with a first order phase transition, we find a slow increase of the transverse velocities of the nucleons with time. A similar behaviour can be observed for the directed nucleon flow. This is due to non-equilibrium e ects which also lead to less and slower conversion of longitudinal into transverse momentum. We also show that the proton rapidity distribution at CERN energies, as calculated within this model, agrees well with the preliminary NA44-data.
- Probes for the early reaction dynamics of heavy ion collisions at AGS and SPS (1997)
- We discuss the early evolution of ultrarelativistic heavy-ion collisions within a multi- fluid dynamical model. In particular, we show that due to the finite mean-free path of the particles compression shock waves are smeared out considerably as compared to the one-fluid limit. Also, the maximal energy density of the baryons is much lower. We discuss the time scale of kinetic equilibration of the baryons in the central region and its relevance for directed flow. Finally, thermal emission of direct photons from the fluid of produced particles is calculated within the three-fluid model and two other simple expansion models. It is shown that the transverse momentum and rapidity spectra of photons give clue to the cooling law and the early rapidity distribution of the photon source.
- Hadron and hadron cluster production in a hydrodynamical model including particle evaporation (1997)
- We discuss the evolution of the mixed phase at RHIC and SPS within boostinvariant hydrodynamics. In addition to the hydrodynamical expansion, we also consider evaporation of particles o the surface of the fluid. The back-reaction of this evaporation process on the dynamics of the fluid shortens the lifetime of the mixed phase. In our model this lifetime of the mixed phase is d 12 fm/c in Au + Au at RHIC and d 6.5 fm/c in Pb + Pb at SPS, even in the limit of vanishing transverse expansion velocity. Strong separation of strangeness occurs, especially in events (or at rapidities) with relatively high initial net baryon and strangeness number, enhancing the multiplicity of MEMOs (multiply strange nuclear clusters). If antiquarks and antibaryons reach saturation in the course of the pure QGP or mixed phase, we find that at RHIC the ratio of antideuterons to deuterons may exceed 0.3 and even 4He/4He > 0.1. In S + Au at SPS we find only N/N H 0.1. Due to fluctuations, at RHIC even negative baryon number at midrapidity is possible in individual events, so that the antibaryon and antibaryon-cluster yields exceed those of the corresponding baryons and clusters.
- Nuclear shadowing effects on prompt photons at RHIC and LHC (1998)
- The transverse momentum distribution of prompt photons coming from the very early phase of ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions for the RHIC and LHC energies is calculated by means of perturbative QCD. We calculate the single photon cross section (A + B -> gamma + X) by taking into account the partonic sub processes q + q -> gamma + g and q + g -> gamma + q as well as the Bremsstrahlung corrections to those processes. We choose a lower momentum cut-off k0 = 2 GeV separating the soft physics from perturbative QCD. We compare the results for those primary collisions with the photons produced in reactions of the thermalized secondary particles, which are calculated within scaling hydrodynamics. The QCD processes are taken in leading order. Nuclear shadowing corrections, which alter the involved nuclear structure functions are explicitly taken into account and compared to unshadowed results. Employing the GRV parton distribution parametrizations we find that at RHIC prompt QCD-photons dominate over the thermal radiation down to transverse momenta kT ≈ 2 GeV. At LHC, however, thermal radiation from the QGP dominates for photon transverse momenta kT ≤ 5 GeV, if nuclear shadowing effects on prompt photon production are taken into account.

The Voice Top 6 Recap: Christina Aguilera Proves the Harshest Critic Despite Not Having Any Contestants
The Voice Top 6 Live Rounds Recap: It's Six-Y Time!
Ladies and gents, we're watching a Voice first. Not only does coach Christina Aguilera have no more singers in the struggle, but we're also down to the best six contestants arguably in The Voice's history. And they each got to sing two whole songs — one chosen by their coach and the other all their own. That means they get two whole chances to wow America (and two whole chances to mess up in front of America.)
This episode went a little bit off the rails in the way only a live shows can, full of good old fashion sexual innuendo from Christina Milian, passive aggressive side notes from Christina Aguilera, and an under the weather Cee Lo Green, who had clearly taken an extra dose of his flu medicine before the show.
So let's get to it!
Cassadee Pope | "Stand"
Even though Cassadee Pope hasn't won The Voice (yet?) she's already a No. 1 iTunes selling artist. Nailing "Stand" by Rascal Flatts, Cassadee proved once again that this isn't her first time at the rodeo, getting the crowd to sway along with glowsticks as she transformed the country tune into a pop rock anthem.
Somehow, coach Adam Levine, who looked like the cartoon evil version of himself rocking a goatee and beard, only just liked it and wished she had moved a little further outside her comfort zone.
Meanwhile, Christina, smelling a star and left with none of her own, nominated herself to be the singer's new "co-coach supporter," and was all too ready to join the Cassadee Pope bandwagon, calling her a "true star."
For her choice, Cassadee got a chance to perform her "dream song," Avril Lavigne's "I'm With You." While Cassadee's colorful hair highlights are always changing , one thing that doesn't change is this girl's star quality. She knows her strong suits, and delivers it without fail — and this one was no different. It will be hard to beat out this vocal standout, but the remaining five were ready to try.
Amanda Brown
For her coach's choice song, Amanda Brown tackled a classic that we knew would be a homerun for her even before she hit the stage. Aretha Franklin's "Natural Woman" perfectly suited the powerful belter with a rock attitude, and she certainly didn't disappoint. The judges have been expecting Amanda to bring the house down for weeks, and this performance brought the whole block to the ground.
Coach Blake Shelton had zero critiques, Cee Lo made zero sense, and an ecstatic Adam gave it a hundred. Nuff said.
Amanda's choice of Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again" for her second song, getting back to those rock star roots we all know she loves. And even though the performance featured a crowd of acrobatic street dancers jumping across the stage, the only one we noticed was Amanda.
Starting off soulful and ending with that trademark high screech, she "wore a bunch of leather and went for it" as coach Adam said.
Her ability to sing everything from the Queen of Soul to Queen is the thing that will keep her in this competition, and she made a great case for herself with these performances.
Terry McDermott
We've know that Terry McDermott can do the high energy, laser lights rock show that would make even David Bowie proud. For his first performance though, he took coach Blake's advice and lost the '80s glam in favor of a bare bones rendition of Foreigner's "I Want To Know What Love Is."
We guess there's a reason Blake won last year, because he sure knows what America wants. Revealing an entirely new quality to his voice, Terry delivered a seemingly "effortless" but incredibly vulnerable version that allowed us into his head for a few bars.
Christina was repping hard for Team Blake and Adam thought that he "slayed it" telling everyone that Blake clearly had the team advantage.
For Blake's pick this week, Terry took on Rod Stewart's "Stay With Me." Back at home in his "pure rock and roll" wheelhouse, he immediately found his place on stage, after starting off in the audience, sailing through the fun, flirty tune.
As Cee Lo's said time and time again, he's definitely the "real thing."
Trevin Hunte
We know Cee Lo is sick, so maybe we should give him a pass, but we really didn't see why he assigned his powerhouse vocalist Trevin Hunte such a random tune like Katrina And The Waves' "Walking On Sunshine" for his first song. Sure, it's cute, but we're past cute now — it's do or die time.
But then again, like Adam said, "that is the genius of Cee Lo Green." Trevin rose to the challenge and pulled off the fast diddy and even faster choreography, managing to get off a few great surprise notes at the same time.
Best of all, we got to see that sunshine in Trevin's voice and personality, which even made a still sick Cee Lo stand up and shout.
And for his second go round, Trevin did the song we've been waiting for him to do since his flawless blind audition of Dreamgirls' "Listen." Tonight he chose another hit from the classic musical, singing "And I Am Telling You." It was the epitome of Trevin's personality — powerful, vulnerable, insecure, yet amazingly beautiful. And up there on stage, he held absolutely nothing back and literally shut the whole freaking stage down.
And good Lord, it was even better than we imagined. The vocal ability that this dude has is out of this world, and it left Christina Aguilera fanning herself for minutes after the performance and then offering to be his mentor two second later. We get it Christina, you have nothing to do.
Cee Lo was ready to end it right there, even offering a moment of silence for the other poor performers who had to follow that. And honestly, we prayed for them too.
Melanie Martinez
New York high schooler Melanie Martinez went the "I'm-going-to-sing-a-coach's-song-differently!" route this time, choosing "Crazy" by Cee Lo. While we've heard this song every possible way, coach Adam told her to just go out there "Melanie-ize" it. Is that a thing now?
Looking like a modern day Alice in Wonderland on stage, the whimsical vocalist brought her signature breathy tone to the tune, making it sound like a strange "lullaby," as Christina said.
Cee Lo appreciated the dedication, and while Adam did point out some pitch issues, he thought that her overall vibe transcended those flaws-even going so far as to say that America wanted to dress, look, and sound like her. Wow, Adam is really trying to make this "Melanie-ize" thing happen...
For the coach's choice, Melanie took on a much fluffier tune, Lenka's "The Show." We get that Adam was trying to ease up on her whole "angst-y teen," but this song and elementary school play style stage set up just reminded how much more growing up Melanie had to do-both personally and vocally.
Not helping was Melanie's thinly veiled contempt for the choice — she was clearly not in her element as she woodenly snapped along to the song and the set literally swallowed up her already lost voice.
None of the coaches were convinced either, with Blake struggling to find her connection to it and Christina looking for her to do a slow Fiona Apple song — or maybe she just wanted to sing it herself because she proceeded to do so for an unnecessarily long time. The Lotus singer has clearly checked out.
Nicholas David
Opening and closing the show was soul singer Nicholas David. For the first coach-chosen song, Nicholas was given Earth Wind & Fire's "September." With Cee Lo out sick during rehearsals this week, Patrick Monahan of Train fame, was there to take up the coaching reins and offer some surprisingly helpful advice.
Nicholas is great at the R&B classics, but his trouble with the up tempo tune made it hard for him to settle into the song. But it's hard for us to hate on a voice that is so weirdly fantastic, so we'll consider this a rare miss for the expectant father.
While Adam is a fan of the singer's overall vibe, even he had to admit that there was something left to be desired this time around, while Cee Lo Green just "loved and appreciated him." OK, Cee Lo, put down the Tylenol PM.
For his choice, Nicholas went with his mother's favorite song and Wizard of Oz anthem, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow." This one hit the mark and gave us that David charm as he spun the song in a new way that left Blake with only two words: "magic" and "beautiful."
And that's it for tonight! What did you think of the Top 6's double dose of tunes? Who will you be voting for? Tell us below!

It doesn't matter to a great business man.
All manner of men came to work for the News: everything from wild young Turks who wanted to rip the world in half and start all over again -- to tired, beer-bellied old hacks who wanted nothing more than to live out their days in peace before a bunch of lunatics ripped the world in half.
Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Before they started signing big names, Dana said that he liked very much how SF was doing business and they were doing the right thing and all that stuff.
As soon as SF signed big names, his opinion immediately changed and eventually Zuffa buyed (and then killed) them.
Now he sees that bellator has great fighters and they do some very nice shows, so he obviously does not like that, I am sure that he would love the Ferttitas to buy them and continue the monopoly.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Lot of good points made here. They must be infringing a little on the UFC that DW is speaking of them. I do agree TV promotions don't make good fight promoters as they want to script to much.

The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga volleyball team topped Appalachian State Saturday night in Boone, N.C., for the second time this season. The 3-1 win snaps the Mocs (13-17, 8-8) Southern Conference losing record streak, active since finishing with a 12-6 SoCon record in 2008.
Freshman Sarah Batterton (Colbert, Wash.) accounted for nearly an entire set's points, totaling 22.5 points and 20 kills. The middle blocker also downed five blocks en route to Chattanooga's 73-point night.
Freshman Briana Reid (Houston, Texas) finished with 13 kills while seniors Christina Teter (Signal Mountain, Tenn.) and Heather Parman (Ooltewah, Tenn.) each walked away with 12 and 11 kills, respectively. Junior Bridget Camacho (Cumming, Ga.) recorded her ninth double-double of the season with 56 assists and 10 digs. It is the setter's sixth 50-plus dig match of the season.
Along with Batterton's five blocks, Teter and sophomore Kasey Talley (Boiling Springs, S.C.)each blocked three Appalachian State attacks and senior Paula Passmore (Merritt Island, Fla.) led the Mocs with 29 digs.
Chattanooga jumped out to a 2-0 set lead before the intermission. The tight 28-26 score in the first frame set the tone for the match and the 25-19 victory in the second frame gave UTC a little breathing room going into the locker room.
The Mountaineers struck back in the third set with a 25-18 win, shocking the Mocs defense. ASU hit a match-best .326 in the win, allowing just two lead changes on its way to 25 points. UTC and Appalachian State were tied 5-5 early in the set, but the Mountaineers pulled away to reach a nine point advantage. The Mocs were able to pull within six points before a kill from ASU's Jessica Eley gave the Mountaineers their only set win.
Chattanooga claimed the fourth and final set 25-23 to take the match 3-1. Another neck-and-neck set, the largest margin of the stanza only reached five points during the early services of the frame. Back-to-back kills from Batterton inched the Mocs into the lead before an attacking error by ASU's Dalton Tolliver handed Chattanooga the final point.
The Mocs will compete in the Southern Conference Tournament next weekend, beginning Saturday evening. Check back on GoMocs.com later this week for a full schedule of the tournament.

They wanted to be reassured that we have safety measures in place to keep children safe.Hudson sent out a letter to all schools, which can be found on Boone County Schools Web site at www.boonecountyboe.org, sharing with them safety information and resources available to parents, grandparents, students and educators.We took a lot of information we have from the National Association of Schools and the West Virginia Department of Education regarding safety and ways to best approach a child after an event like this happens, Hudson said. There are tips and advice on what to look for if your child is acting out or having trouble understanding something like this.Hudson says national statistics show that school is still one of the safest places for children to be in the day.A few years back we used grant money to enhance security at our schools and buildings, Hudson said. By Aug. 2013, all schools will be digitally mapped on a statewide network. We also have a critical incident response guide and we train principals, teachers and staff regarding how to respond to critical events and crisis.Schools in Boone County have buzzed systems to be able to get into the building. Sherman High School also used a grant to have a school resource officer at its school.West Virginia public schools began the process back in 2001 and 2002, and our states counties have been in the forefront of developing plan to respond to crisis events, he said. Training with employees, teachers, principals, and red code drills are all part of it. We are always performing reviews with schools for improving safety and keep our staff on heightened awareness so we remain vigilant.Honoring Connecticut Gov. Malloy's request, West Virginia Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin asked all West Virginians to observe a moment of silence Friday, December 21, 2012, beginning at 9:30 a.m. to honor the memory of those who lost their lives at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Churches and government buildings, with the capability, have been asked to ring their bells 26 times in memory of each victim."I spoke to Connecticut Governor Malloy and told him people across our state are praying for the families and friends of those affected by last week's terrible events," Gov. Tomblin said. "While we can't begin to understand their pain, we hope they find comfort in the very difficult days ahead. I ask West Virginians to continue to keep the families in your thoughts and prayers and observe a moment of silence on Friday morning at 9:30."Last week, Gov. Malloy declared a Day of Mourning and requested a moment of silence be observed. He also asked places of worship and government buildings, with the capability, ring their bells 26 times in honor of each life taken too soon from Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Alexander Gustaffson camp requests Lyoto Machida or UFC injury fill-in | News
Gustafsson trainer Eric Delfierro today told MMAjunkie.com (UFC blog for UFC news, UFC rumors, fighter interviews and event previews/recaps) that the Swedish light-heavyweight recently made two requests to UFC matchmakers: be an injury replacement for the division's next title fight, or face ex-champ Lyoto Machida.
Of course, since Lyoto Machida is the No. 1 contender, he might wind up doing that anyway if the winner of an upcoming title bout between champ Jon Jones and Chael Sonnen is hurt or takes an extended break. Jones and Sonnen headline UFC 159 later this month.
Machida, who outpointed Dan Henderson to secure a title shot, recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (MMA Radio, UFC Radio - MMAjunkie Radio) that he'd rather stay active than wait for the opportunity.
Delfierro said Gustafsson is on vacation for at least another week following a disappointment in his native country. Scheduled to fight ex-Strikeforce champ Gegard Mousasi at UFC on FUEL TV 9 this past Saturday, he sustained a cut above his left eye in training, which prompted the Swedish Mixed Martial Arts Federation to nix his participation in the fight.

Elk Eagle
Those of you who have not realized that we have a new Native American store in downtown Aiken on Laurens Street are missing out on a unique experience. At Elk Eagle Originals, you will find authentic Native American jewelry, art, feather work, beadwork, paintings, greeting cards, shirts, pottery and basketry artistically displayed in this intriguing one-of-a-kind store. With Christmas right around the corner, this would be a great place to shop. The owners are Kit and Ron Colombe, who is a Lakota Indian (Sioux tribe) from the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota. You will no doubt leave with a better appreciation of Native American culture, as well.
Gov. Haley
The governor is finally coming clean about the tax hack. The president was drug through the mud about Benghazi. How can he stop a terrorist attack? Gov. Haley should have been paying attention to South Carolina instead of trying to not get our president re-elected.
Print is too small
The print in the paper is too small. We seniors don't possess 20/20 vision. Lately, I am unable to enjoy reading the paper.
People talk about respect. People have to respect the office of the president. However, I don't have to respect the person in that office. I can be as disrespectful as I want to be to that person.
Potholes in Aiken
This is for the person who keeps talking about Benghazi. We let Sen. John McCain, Sen. Lindsey Graham and Condoleezza Rice send us to Iraq, and we've lost more than 3,000 men. We also have servicemen committing suicide every day. We didn't find any weapons of mass destruction. I don't know if Graham and McCain are still looking for WMDs. We're rebuilding Iraq, and we've got potholes in Aiken. We can't build our own country.

The Easiest, Mess FREE Way to Roll, Knead or Work With Dough!
While we usually focus on deals and discounts, from time to time we offer you articles on related topics that we think you'll enjoy.
There's something so satisfying about making something from nothing. Sure, a store bought loaf of bread is a wonderful convenience, but nothing from a store can compare to the feeling of satisfaction that overcomes you after kneading a slab of dough to perfection. Kneading your dough not only helps develop the gluten to the right consistency, but somehow, taking the time to mold a batter into something special helps connect us with the food we're making. It gives a chance to think, relax, build a little muscle and pound out some of the day's frustrations.
But as much as I love making bread, the hassle of sticky fingers and a flour soaked kitchen is enough to discourage me from partaking in one of my favorite hobbies!
That was until my friend told gave me an amazing new kitchen gadget that helped me respark my passion for baking. If you haven't heard of Silicone Baking Mats, they're one of the most popular pieces of bakeware on the market. It seems like everyone has one these days. I'd seen them all over the food network and industrial kitchens, but I never got around to purchasing one. I'm an old fashioned gal and I prefer things the old fashioned way.
It's known for making baking 'easier' by enhancing the quality of anything you bake on it (something about even heat distribution in the Silicone) but I've never needed help in that department so my interest wasn't necessarily peaked. My sister bought a set with my Amazon account (I had a gift card) and let me keep one of the Nonstick Mats.
I hadn't even gotten around to using it when I got a call from the Baking Mat company asking what kind of recipes I enjoy. They wanted to send me recipes based on my interest (NEVER seen a company do that before). After I told them how much I loved making bread, they told me the Silicone Baking Mat wasn't just for Baking. It can be used to make the process of kneading much more simple and far less messy. They sent me some recipes and I tried them out…
The first one I tried was just a simple pasta dough. As a woman with years of experience, I can honestly say the experience of kneading on a Nonstick Baking Mat is the easiest and best I've ever had. I didn't have to put any flour on the Silicone Sheet and the sticky dough never stuck to the mat. Not even once. When I pulled the dough up, it came off with ease, saving my arms from the extra effort. It was by far the best experience I've ever had kneading dough. The smoothness of the nonstick surface allowed the dough to just glide across and mix with ease. It was fantastic, my arms weren't even sore the next day (I usually bruise like a peach). The best part was that neither my kitchen, nor I, were covered in flour by the time I was finished.
Ever since I got this thing, I've been making bread 2 to 3 days a week. Now when I think about working with dough, I don't picture a messy kitchen with sticky hands and flour everywhere. Instead, I look forward to all the best parts that I've always loved!
The Highest Quality Nonstick Baking Mat on the market is by Baking Buddy. The quality is phenomenal, you can read all about in the verified reviews on their Amazon Listing. Not only do they have exceptional quality, but they are the first and only baking mat to make use out of all the empty space on the surface. There's measurements (which really come in handy) and metric conversions for volume, weight and temperature that have saved me from having to make numerous google searches in the middle of a recipe. You can see pictures of their Silicone Mat's new design in action right here!
If you ever feel discouraged from making dough from scratch, this awesome baking tool will remove the intimidation and inspire you to take pride in homemade cooking once again!

A reference delay and one player's postseason dominance have convinced McFarlane Toys to make a change in its already-announced lineup for December's McFarlane's Sports Picks: NHL Series 10.
Calgary captain Jarome Iginla will take Markus Naslund's place in NHL 10. We were looking for a very specific pose for the Naslund 2 figure and we have not been able to locate enough reference to sculpt from. With no work started on that figure, it created a "late window" to make a lineup change. With Calgary's run to the Finals, the stellar play of Iginla and those cool red/black jerseys with the tie-ups it seemed like an obvious choice to us -- and a great opportunity to "make good" on a SNAFU that pulled a Calgary figure from the NHL 8 lineup. We do expect to release the second Naslund at some point in the future, just not in NHL 10.
With this change, the final NHL 10 lineup is:JAROMIR JAGR 2RICK NASHJAROME IGINLA 2MARTIN ST. LOUISROBERT LANGJOE THORNTON 2DAVID AEBISCHERJOSE THEODORE 2We will provide photography of this series as soon as it's available.

New report questions FAA's airline safety promiseBy JOAN LOWY
The Associated Press | February 17,2013WASHINGTON Since a deadly airline crash in 2009, the government hasnt kept its promise to ensure that major airlines are holding their smaller partners to the same safety standards, a federal watchdog says.
The Transportation Departments inspector general faults the Federal Aviation Administration for not taking steps to encourage the big airlines to consistently share safety information and best practices with regional airlines that operate flights under contract for them.
That business link is known as code-sharing, by which one airline sells tickets for seats on a flight operated by another airline United and United Express, for example.
More than half of all airline flights in the U.S. are operated by regional airlines using names such as United Express, Delta Connection, American Connection and US Airways Express under code-sharing arrangements.
A flight operated by regional carrier Colgan Air for Continental Airlines under the name Continental Express crashed in February 2009 near Buffalo, N.Y., killing 50 people. After that crash, officials at the department and the FAA said they would begin reviewing code-share contracts to see if they impinged on safety.
Investigators cited pilot training lapses by Colgan as a factor. Colgan ended flying in September as part of its parent companys restructuring.
A National Transportation Safety Board investigation and congressional hearings after the Colgan crash pointed out the differences in safety cultures that sometimes occur between the two types of airlines.
For example, at that time, some regional carriers were hiring pilots with as few as 250 hours of flight experience, which FAA rules allow. Major airlines typically hired pilots with about 10 times that much experience.
After the crash, pilot unions and safety advocates said regional carriers were driven to cut corners on safety, including hiring inexperienced pilots at low wages, in part to meet performance goals required under the code-sharing contracts.
Airlines that met their goals often earned more money under the agreements, while those that failed to meet such goals were sometimes penalized.
The FAA, despite earlier promises, isnt reviewing any code-share contracts for their safety implications, and the Transportation Department reviews only a small share for their potential economic impact, not safety, the report said.
As a result, most domestic code-share agreements go into effect without being reviewed by any (federal) regulatory entity, the report said.
The Associated Press obtained a copy of the report before its public release.
The FAA also doesnt have procedures in place to advance the agencys commitment to ensure the same level of safety between mainline air carriers and their code-share partners, the report said.
Responding to the report, Robert Rivkin, the Transportation Departments general counsel, said the FAA believes that all carriers ... meet an appropriate level of safety regardless of whether they are in a code-share agreement.
After the Colgan crash, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood and then-FAA chief Randy Babbitt announced an industry-government call to action and they held a well-publicized safety summit.
An airline safety action plan released by FAA officials at the time promised that the FAA and the department would develop the authority and processes to review agreements between major carriers and their regional partners.
That plan said one of its short-term goals was that major carriers should seek specific and concrete ways to ensure that their smaller airline partner carriers adopt and implement the larger companys most effective practices for safety. That was to include periodic meetings to review safety data gathering programs and to constantly emphasize their shared safety philosophy.
The inspector generals report said that although the FAA sponsors biannual information-sharing events for the airline industry, it has not taken steps to encourage mainline carriers to consistently share safety information and best practices with their code-share partners.
The FAA dropped its plans to review code-sharing agreements because agency officials felt the largest airlines had taken steps to increase their safety sharing with their regional partners, the report said.
But the inspector general found that while that was true of one large airline, it wasnt the case for others. The report reviewed four major and eight regional carriers who participate in code share agreements, but did not identify the airlines.
Rivkin replied in a letter to the inspector general that the FAA doesnt make a distinction between major and regional carriers because all of those carriers meet the same standards.
Scott Maurer, whose 30-year-old daughter, Lorin, died in the Colgan crash, said he was disappointed but not surprised by the inspector generals findings.
These promises tend to end up becoming lip service, he said. It sounds good at the time, but there is no follow through.
A year after the Colgan crash, then-Continental Airlines CEO Jeffrey Smisek angered victims families when he said it was the FAAs responsibility to ensure Colgans pilots were properly trained, not Continentals.
We did not train those pilots. We did not maintain those aircraft. We did not operate the aircraft. But we expect them to be safe. We expect the Federal Aviation Administration to do its job, Smisek told a hearing of the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.
The father of a law student killed in the crash later cornered Smisek in the hallway outside the hearing room, complaining that his daughter bought her ticket from Continental, not Colgan.
Smisek is now the president and CEO of the holding company for United Airlines, which merged with Continental.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

Since 1997, the Anaheim City Council has adopted four historic districts that are located in Central Anaheim. Although Anaheim is comprised of historically significant structures throughout the City's 50 square miles, the vast majority are clustered in the four historic districts shown below. These districts encompass approximately two-square miles of Anaheim.
All of the district's historic homes have been inventoried and many have been surveyed in detail. Certain structures in these districts are eligible to participate in the Mills Act Program that was approved by City Council in 2000. This program may allow property owners to enjoy a reduction in property tax in exchange for restoring the exteriors of their homes and maintaining them in a historically accurate condition.

NICEVILLE — The personal information of at least 50 Northwest Florida State College employees, and perhaps students and vendors, was compromised in an apparent hacking incident.
College officials announced the online security breach Monday afternoon after conducting a week-long investigation following reports from five employees about issues with their bank accounts.
"The integrity of the NWFSC system has been restored and there is no indication of any additional instances of compromise of personal information," NWFSC President Ty Handy stated in a news release. "An investigation is ongoing on the full nature and scope of the breach."
Right now, officials believe a folder on the main server containing information about 3,201 current and retired employees since 2002 was compromised. A variety of information was taken from it, including the names, birthdates, Direct Deposit routing and account information and Social Security numbers, the release stated.
Additional information such as addresses and phone numbers might have also been taken, Handy said.
The college has not found any evidence that student or vendor information was taken, but officials are alerting everyone as a precaution since that information was also available in the accessed folder, Handy said.
If student data was taken it might include information such as phone numbers, addresses, birth dates and Social Security numbers.
Forty or less vendors that the college does online transfers and bill payments with might have had bank account information taken also, but nothing had been reported as of Monday.
"We speculate that this was a professional, coordinated attack by one or more hackers," Handy said. "We believe that the hackers are having to do specific work to pull together enough information about an individual employee to steal their identity."
The incident occurred between May 21 and Sept. 24.
To date, about 50 employees, including Handy, have reported issues related to identity theft including unauthorized bank withdrawals and credit cards.
An investigator from the Okaloosa County Sheriff's Office cybercrime unit has been assigned to the case and further information will be made available as officials learn more, the news release stated.
The college is in the process of setting up a website that will include the most up-to-date information on the issue. It is expected by the end of the week.
Formal notices will be sent out to people who might have had information on the folder accessed as soon as possible.
"We hope, by the end of this week to know precisely which persons had their information compromised," Handy said.
Employees, students or vendors who suspect identity theft because of this incident are being asked to file an affidavit with the sheriff's office.

Nagoya (JPN)
The IYRU decided to address the paltry numbers of women in Olympic sailing by adding an eighth event, a 470 division for females. Americans Allison Jolly and Lisa Jewel were the first winners in the 21-boat fleet. All this took place in Pusan, South Korea's second city after the capital Seoul, where the main Games were, and the country's major port.
Until the country was awarded the Games in 1981, recreational sailing really hadn't taken root in South Korea and the Korea Yachting Association existed in name only. Pusan posed interesting questions about tide in an area for which there was little data and teams had not started the large scale met. programmes that are now considered essential. This is one reason why Britons Mike McIntyre and Bryn Vaile surprised many by taking the gold in Star class, splitting from the fleet and looking for turning tide to win the last race. It was their second win of the series.
Playing into British hands was the fact that American Mark Reynolds and Canadian Ross McDonald both failed to finish the rugged final race. Spain's Jose Luis Doreste made a seamless transition from the 470 in which he'd won gold in 1984 to earn a second gold in the Finn ahead of US Virgin Island Peter Holmberg and Kiwi John Cutler. Two of the all-time greats in the Soling class, Jochen Schumann (from what was still East Germany) and Dane Jesper Bank sandwiched American silver medallist John Kostecki. The Schumann v Bank contest was to run all the through to the final leg of the final race of the 2000 Olympics in Sydney after which the Soling was dropped.
By then, Bank had added the 1996 and 2000 gold to his bronze and Schumann a further gold and silver. Brazil celebrated for not only did Torben Grael gain the bronze in the Star, but brother Lars got the same medal in the Tornado class. France had won one medal since 1932 - Serge Maury's Finn gold in 1972- until Thierry Peponnet burst onto the scene and having won the bronze in the 470 class in Los Angeles, together with crew Luc Pilot, Peponnet got the gold in Pusan.

B) Yes, look up GCMM (you MUST have a 3rd party memory card for sav ripping), and on the DIOS MIOS google code page DL the program called "gci2nmm". Simply drag the GCI files GCMM creates into the gci2nmm application and it will do the rest. All you have to do afterwards is put the saves in the correct location on your SD or USB. I suggest using SD as some HDDs have a "sleep" function, if it activates at anytime before or during the save process it will probably corrupt the drive.

COLUMBIA (AP) — The automatic budget cuts hitting the Army mean new soldiers leave basic training at South Carolina's Fort Jackson without their full dress uniform, the post's deputy commander said Tuesday.
Col. Stephen Yackley, deputy commander of Fort Jackson, told a meeting of military supporters that the across-the-board cuts have forced furloughs and fewer work hours for many of the civilians who work on the post, and that includes the tailors who fit new uniforms.
"Sequestration is having an impact, large and small," Yackley told a Chamber of Commerce group that works to support the military in the region. "Things are being deferred, but we are trying to maintain our high level of training."
Fort Jackson graduates about 50,000 soldiers from basic training every year, and thousands more attend advance training there, making it the Army's largest training installation. There are about 3,500 civilians who work for the military on the post.
The furloughs are the result of across-the board sequestration budget cuts that Congress agreed to as part of a 2011 deal to raise the nation's debt limit.
The first round of cuts went into effect earlier this year. If Congress and the White House can't agree on a plan to undo the sequestration, the Pentagon will have to slice $52 billion from its budget for the 2014 fiscal year that begins October 1.
George Goldsmith, the chairman of the Chamber panel, said he thinks sequestration is having a big impact on the local economy.
"Just ask the hotel and restaurants," said Goldsmith, a retired two-star Army general. "Some people may be affected, and others not, but we all have to be aware of what is happening in our community."
A study conducted last year for the governor's task force on military base closures found that the U.S. military pumps nearly $16 billion into South Carolina's economy and supports about 140,000 jobs, concentrated in Beaufort, Charleston, Columbia and Sumter.
The state is home to eight military installations, 56,000 military retirees and 900 defense contractor firms, and local communities work to support them.
