MONTCLAIR, N.J. (AP) – Hope Solo thought the memory and misery of the 2007 World Cup would be left far behind as she got closer to this year's championships.
Three weeks before the tournament kicks off, she recognizes the folly of that belief.
''2007 comes up now more than it ever has. I guess with the first World Cup since that one being here ... ''
Her voice trails off and Solo's eyes drop. But only for a second or two.
''I thought after we won the gold in '08 in Beijing, and then all the team unity we have built with (coach) Pia Sundhage from the time she arrived after '07, that we would be way beyond '07,'' Solo said. ''But I can see how it can be a story and people bring it up. I expect it and I am fine with it. We are not trying to sweep '07 under the rug. You learn from it; you have to learn from it. There's nothing to hide. Things like that happen.
''I have no regrets. None. I don't live with regrets. You learn and you move on. I have.''
What Solo has moved on from is one of the ugliest incidents in what has been a generally positive and productive existence for the U.S. women's national team.
Having beaten out Briana Scurry, the keeper for the United States when it so memorably won the 1999 World Cup - her penalty kick save in the shootout led to Brandi Chastain's winning shot - Solo backstopped the Americans to the 2007 semifinals in China. With the slick and quick Brazilians up next, coach Greg Ryan opted to sit Solo for Scurry.
The U.S. team was routed 4-0.
After the loss, Solo said: ''It was the wrong decision, and I think anybody that knows anything about the game knows that. There's no doubt in my mind I would have made those saves. ... You have to live in the present. And you can't live by big names. You can't live in the past.''
Ryan dismissed Solo from the World Cup team. She wasn't allowed on the bench for the third-place game, did not participate in the medal ceremony and flew home from China on her own.
Soon after, Ryan was replaced by Sundhage.
Solo already had gone through a difficult personal stretch. Her father, Jeffrey, had died just weeks before the tournament began. She'd dedicated the World Cup to him, then posted three shutouts before being benched.
With the 2008 Olympics close on the horizon, Solo not only needed to impress a new coaching staff, she had to recapture the faith of her teammates, some of whom openly criticized how she handled being replaced by Scurry.
Convincing Sundhage of her skills was the easiest part for Solo.
''Hope has moved on and (2007) is not something we talk about any longer,'' Sundhage said. ''She showed in Beijing what kind of a goalkeeper she is.''
Solo started 27 games in 2008, by far the most of any year since joining the national squad in 2000. She was 23-1 with 13 shutouts in '08, and her spectacular saves against Brazil in the overtime victory in the gold medal game remain career highlights.
Mending relationships with the other players came quickly enough, too.
Solo issued an apology through U.S. Soccer just before an exhibition tour against Mexico later in 2007. She built on that.
None of her current teammates say the 2007 World Cup is on their minds, either.
''The thing with Hope and I is we are pretty honest people,'' said Abby Wambach, whose 118 career goals tops the U.S. team. ''In any difficult time for all of us, and mostly for her, it has taught the most valuable lesson any pro athlete can learn: believing in ourselves that we are the best and can be the best again. It's that inner confidence, and for a goalkeeper, it's a key quality to have, and Hope always has had it.
''I believe we have grown up together into weathered veterans. She's a winner, does whatever it takes to win games. I like to think I am, too.''
Wambach, headed to her third World Cup, added: ''The beautiful thing is her intensity and leadership in goal makes it a calming force for the rest of us. We know she will make the big save, keep us organized. She has the confidence you always want to see.''
That confidence has been tested physically in the last two years. Solo injured her right shoulder and kept playing on it. She admits now it was the absolute wrong decision.
''I was playing on it and I shouldn't have been,'' Solo said. ''The hardest decision really was going to have the surgery. But it got to the point where the World Cup was coming up and even if I was able to fight through the pain, it wasn't getting better.''
Solo consulted the national team's medical staff and noted orthopedist Dr. James Andrews, and once she opted for the surgery, a huge mental weight was lifted.
''Instantly, I turned it into a fight to get back,'' she said. ''It was, `Look, you are going to be out the next nine months, so do the rehab the best you can, make the best recovery you can.'''
Then the United States lost to Mexico in World Cup qualifying and had to go through a two-game series with Italy to get into the tournament. It was a stunning setback for the top-ranked Americans, and it troubled Solo that she wasn't around to help.
''So mentally, the rehab was good,'' she said. ''I was prepared to sit out the World Cup qualifying, didn't expect it to be a big deal or that it would be that hard. Then we had our mishap against Mexico and it made me a little nervous.''
But the U.S. women swept Italy, and Solo returned to the lineup in April against England. Sundhage quickly recognized Solo was not yet at full strength.
Solo saw it, too.
''Getting back on the field was the hardest time physically,'' she said. ''You would celebrate small victories, like doing push-ups or pull-ups. But then I would think, `That's not good enough for Pia.'
''When I was back with the team, I was expecting to get the 90 (minutes) and to win my spot back. The clock was ticking and I was expecting the full game against England. But I wasn't ready, only got half a game, and that was eye-opening.
''I was favoring the shoulder, doing some things to either protect it or things not natural for me. You can't play that way. I knew I need a little bit more time.''
And now?
''I'm 100 times better,'' she said
She doesn't mean simply since early April.
''When I came into the (national) camp in 1999, I made it there all on athletic ability,'' Solo recalled. ''It was my first camp and, really, I was just an athlete, not an overall player.
''Now ... night and day. My technical skills are much better, I've kept my fitness when I am not injured and definitely have my speed and quickness. I mentally understand the game. I organize the defense much better. I really take pride in all of that.''
Next up, World Cup redemption?
''I am incredibly looking forward to it and it's not all about what happened in 2007,'' she said. ''Hey, it's been way too long, 12 years, since we brought home that trophy. Twelve years is a long time.''

text: I have a Colt Trooper MKIII, nickel 4". the trigger was broken at the very top, above the hole where the "axel" (for lack of not knowing the proper term), goes. I usually order parts from numrich, but they are out of stock for this model. Does anyone know where I can find this part? I need the trigger assembly. Also, I noticed some of the other Colts use the same part #, but would a trigger for another Colt possibly be made to work?

As presents go, it's unique.
Yet the Bach Festival Society's gift to its artistic director is eminently suitable: John Sinclair, celebrating his 25th year at the helm of the Winter Park arts group, will be feted this weekend with the world premiere of a piece of music commissioned in his honor.
"It's very humbling," said Sinclair, who will conduct sold-out performances of the choral and orchestral work at Rollins College on Saturday and Sunday. "I love new music. They couldn't have done something better for me."

Tonis_T posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi, I'm about to change my engine mounts. 2006 1,6-ti vct with 5 speed manual. Workshop-manuals.com says that the right hand top engine mount will be 80Nm nuts to the block and 90Nm bracket bolts to the bod. Engine roll restrictor is 80Nm for both bolts. However no info about bracket that mounts to the gearbox. For some reason they have left out the left hand top engine mount. I have been looking around internet and have to say that suggested torques are all over the place. Can you guys check if you have repair manual, what are the correct torques.
Tonis_T started following Engine mount torques
Tonis_T replied to kory1986's topic in Ford Focus ClubI had my clucth changed and have also solid flywheel. They did unmount it and resurfaced it but the same one was used again.
Tonis_T started following focus mk2 1.6 zetec 55 plate petrol manual clutch problem ?
My understanding is that mk2,5 side mirrors are not straight swap to mk2. The mounting points have been changed during face lift
Did you got the windows sorted?
Access to floor wiring is not very major job. I have done some sound deadening and have stripped my car to bare floor pan. Surprisingly easy and quick job. If you do not do any mechanical work at all, then not recommended but since you have already done module fitment, then I'd say nothing too major. When it is all striped I do recommend sound deadening. Very big improvement of riding environment. However GEM fitment wise- hopefully some one more wise will chime in.
Gem module has been swapped before(mk2,5 module to mk2 car). How much work it is I have no idea.
Tonis_T started following MK2.5 Door modules in mk2
My understanding is that mk2 and mk2,5 modules at the rear are different. Mk2 (green illumination) have can modules front and rear and mk2,5 have can modules front and Lin modules rear. They are not interchangeable. You need a donor car that is your version -pre facelift focus. You also need to change all window buttons, door wiring looms and are you sure that you have floor wiring compatible to electric windows? I have been thinking of doing this conversion myself also but there are still too many unknowns for me. Mainly if I need to do something with floor wiring and if my gem module supports 4x el windows. If it does do I need to add some kind of relays there or not. Not sure if so but maybe it is more easy to swap your gem module to facelifted mk2,5 focus so that it would support can front and lin rear instead of looking for another donor - not sure tho what kind of programming needed with this swap. More info here: http://ffclub.ru/topic/135368 On 2nd page you have all 'essence' : http://ffclub.ru/topic/135368/go_post/5318624/ use google translate
Tonis_T replied to Tonis_T's topic in Ford Focus ClubIn case anyone is interested. Railings are not straight swap. Mk 2,5 railings have 2 bolts on both ends to mount them to the roof. MK2 roof has 2 pre drilled holes of which only one hole is usable (rear one). So I had to drill 3 holes to each side to mount the railings. However, when you do that they will fit pretty nicely. The rear most nut for the railing is pita to install and tighten. All other bolts have hole underneath so you can use socket but for the rear most one is only doable with key spanner and very little room to turn the spanner. You also have to shorten the said bolt or it will contact the body. However as with everything, it is doable and result is ok.

Tonis_T started following Winter Ford Magic!!!!!
Tonis_T replied to sonic113's topic in Ford Focus ClubMy Focus today :) Like: heated front window, heated rear window and mirrors, heated seats, ESP is quite handy. Rear drive car would be much more fun in winter but focus is surprisingly fun to drive (thanks to mechanical rear handbrake, not that stupid electronical stuff that more modern cars have). Do not like: gets warm quite slowly (i do have quite short commute about 6 km). However I think it is the same for all cars. If it is -25C outside all cars will warm up slowly. I am considering accessory electrical motor block heater and battery charger. Something by defa for example Of course if it is warm outside -5...0, then it heats up pretty fast. However we are talking about winter here so I'd like much faster heating. However when doing longer trips, then the amount of heat it produces is very good even when it's cold! I like this car a lot... there are few thing i do not understand... like why would you put electrical windows in front and not in the back. When driving in summer and you want to open a window to vent a little bit, then opening the rear window is much quieter than the front one. I can reach front window easily to us the manual crank. However this is all minor stuff. Overall I like my focus and it is pretty OK winter car
Tonis_T posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHello, I own 2006 1,6VTI 85KW Focus estate. I want to install roof railings (the ones that go along the roof not across) I have sourced a pair of railings from scrap yard that belong to MK2.5 Focus. Do any of you know if they are straight fit to pre face lift model? The reason I ask is that Ford dealer said that pre facelift and face lift models have different part numbers for railings. However the body of the car is practically the same. I will probably go ahead anyhow and get them and do the test fitting. But I would appreciate any information before I pull the trigger.

Tonis_T posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHello, Since gasoline is getting more and more expensive I'm thinking of LPG conversion. However I have heard that there might be some problems with valve seats after some time of use. I have also heard that this problem is non existant if you will install some kind of flashlube and use it rght from the beginning. I'm talking about IV generation device. Car I'm thinkig of converting is mk2 Ford Focus 1.6L Duratec-16V Ti-VCT (115/120PS) estate. Do any of you guys have any experience about this?
Thank you.
Anyone? I have the same problem with my 2006 wagon. Also would like to know how if A-pillar covers will just come off with pulling (fully and not just hanging them there dashboard side still attached).
Tonis_T replied to Jo Allan's topic in Ford Focus ClubDon't mess with your brakes unless you know what you are doing. http://www.stoptech.com/technical-support/technical-white-papers http://www.stoptech....-brake-upgrades
Tonis_T replied to Pidu's topic in Ford Focus GuidesI live in Estonia and for some reason most of focuses that we have here don't have cc so I didn't get it from here. Hovewer in finland they have website where you can check out junkyeards all over the country. So I just kept my eyes open for low mileage wheel with cc buttons and booked it. I have meny coworkers in finland, they went purchaced it and when they had some things to do in Estonia they brought it over to me (guys from the company were willing to post it to Estonia but since it was more convinient for them to use someone local who would act as middle we went that way. They did hovewer booked it under my name). So not as easy process as I would have hoped for but it got the things done. You might want to check out few websites and talk to junkyard owners it they are willing to send items abroad. There are 2 major sites I kept checking out: the finnish one: http://www.autopurkaamot.com/ and swedish one (much more stuff): http://en.bildelsbasen.se/ go and check them out. Maybe you will get lucky and they are willing to send stuff in your way. P.S. I forgot to say that the Swedish mileage is then number that is on the site x10 and it is in km (some kind of wierd swedish habbit). So for example this wheel: http://en.bildelsbas...ost_id=21588833 mileage is 5285 miles on the web page. This actually means that the odometer is showing 52850 kilometers. The great thing in scandinavia is that if insurance says that car is to damaged after accident then you have to dismantle it. This means pretty nice supply of used parts. P.P.S They use google translator to translate the pages in http://www.autopurkaamot.com/ and it wont translate correctly. Anyhow after selecting your ford model then on partlist "ohjauspyörä" means steeringwheel.

Jim Cramer says results can look better when you're expecting the worst.
Banks, oil service companies and airlines are all inching back.
Jim Cramer likes YUM; says STZ is more appetizing than MNST
Index funds are great, Jim Cramer says, but he encourages investors to do some smart stock picking.
Thanks to advances in technology and a rebound in oil prices, producers such as Baker Hughes and Halliburton can be profitable once again, Cramer said.
This is new doctrine having to do with innovation and the stifling of innovation to create new products.
The oil drilling giant should also benefit from the rebound in oil prices.
Regulatory issues will weigh on this deal, because of populist politics.
Cramer shares his views on the unkillable market. Schlumberger, Walgreens and Delta Airlines are among the stocks discussed.
A strengthening dollar coupled with traders taking profit on last week's crude gains caused a pullback in commodity futures Friday, leading to a market droop despite an uptick in rigs.
The company squeaked out another earnings beat Thursday after markets closed despite revenue declines in all of its operating regions including North America, but analysts are content with the results.
TheStreet's Action Alerts PLUS Portfolio Manager Jim Cramer says it appears that oil services stocks like Halliburton and Schlumberger may have hit a bottom.
Halliburton (HAL), Morgan Stanley (MS) and SuperValu (SVU) all reported earnings Wednesday morning before the market opened; investors approach each stock with caution or stay away entirely.
The way to play these stocks now is to sit back and wait for a better entry point.
A larger-than-expected crude oil stockpile drawdown saw the commodity soar to one-year highs Wednesday, and with it came an energy industry longing for a comeback.
CNBC's Bob Pisani noted what an increase in oil's trading price range could spell for the fourth quarter.
Wall Street closes out Wednesday's session with modest gains thanks to a rally in crude oil that pushes West Texas Intermediate to its highest close since July 2015.
Base metals are trading in a narrow range as investors eye Chinese production.
Stocks climb on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve's 'Beige Book' reports moderate growth in the U.S. economy.
Jim Cramer said he's confident in Schlumberger, which reports earnings on Thursday.
Today's powerful move has extended Halliburton's big rally to nearly 25%.
Shares of Halliburton were climbing Wednesday after topping analyst forecasts for third-quarter earnings.
U.S. stocks edged higher on Wednesday after a stream of positive earnings trickled in.
Stocks edge higher on Wednesday after a weekly decline in crude inventories supports oil above $51 a barrel.
Halliburton can make money in the current environment, and that's very encouraging, Jim Cramer says.
U.S. stocks moved higher Wednesday driven by corporate earnings and stable growth from China, the world's second largest economy.
Stock futures rise Wednesday as investors await the release of the Federal Reserve's 'Beige Book' and profits at Morgan Stanley jump.

From the moment we stepped in the front door, we knew we had arrived at a very special place. Four families agreed, it was a perfect vacation spot with all the amenities we could want. We love to cook and the well stocked kitchen made it easy. Some enjoyed walking to the Swan Lake Trading Post to pick up the morning paper, 3 miles round trip. Owners, Joe and Joslin are characters. The Laughing Horse Lodge was a hidden gem to have dinner. Kathleen and her crew put on a great feast with super wine choices. Big Fork , just 20 minutes away, was our main shopping area.

News has emerged that a Bulgarian chess player was "strip searched" after being suspected of cheating during a tournament in Zadar, Croatia held from 16-22 December.
There were 36 players in the tournament, including 16 Grandmasters, yet the 26-year old computer programmer Borislav Ivanov with a rating of only 2227 Elo finished with a 6/9 score, beating four GMs along the way to claim 4th place.
The top placings at Zadar
Despite the "strip search" no evidence of cheating was found.
Stanislav Maroja, chairperson of the chess union in Zadar District said, "After the eighth round we received a signal about Ivanov's game and after his game with Borko Predoevic, who later on won the tournament, we decided to check on both of them. There were suspicions that Ivanov has some electronic tools to help him and in my capacity of a judge I decided to make a move in line with the FIDE rules. It is not true that we made him strip naked. He himself took off his t-shirt, while we emptied his pockets."
The FOCUS Information Agency quoted GM Zlatko Klaric, "Ivanov is chess programmer...he made moves like a computer, which was obvious in the game vs Jovanovic. Technologies are so developed now that theoretically, since the games were aired live, Ivanov's friends...could have sent him hints for his moves through chips, which could have been placed under the skin, in the ear, or in the teeth."
Either Ivanov had the tournament of his life, or he found a way to cheat without being detected. All of his games from the tournament are below.
This disturbing story also raises many other questions, two being: a) what are the limits of an arbiter's powers to search an individual suspected of cheating? and b) do we now have to scan suspected players for implanted computer chips?
.Games and results table via Chessgames.com.
I know what happened! Ivanov bought the DVD course of GM Igor, with all the secrets to win against GMs!
Another possible explanation could be that he read De Lamaza, and practiced his method.
Further if anyone search a game database, it is very easy to find 2200 players beating 4-5 GMs in a row. Even Kasparov is scared by 2200 players.
dokter_nee: The question is how to determine what constitutes sufficient evidence in a way that serves not only the judge (i.e., people like you) but also the judged (i.e., the players who've been incriminated). At the absence of a full proof, including the so-called "smoking gun", such a threshold is not easy to determine from a policy perspective -- as much as a strong coincidence of move choices between a human player and an engine may seem implausible and exceedingly unlikely. Possibilities always exist (e.g., psychics are often able to read other people's minds -- why not then read the engine's mind and is that illegal if they didn't actively seek it but just channeled it?), albeit perhaps outside the realm of what some people may be prepared to believe is possible.
Valentin, that's just a silly analogy.
There just has to be enough evidence for there to be no reasonable doubt. That is the only criteria.
Game from round 7, 100% (really 100% houdini top choice moves, from move 7 ! . I don't know of any game where this has been done before. From the opening until the end 100 %houdini top choices.
If you know how much better engines are than humans at the moment (Carlsen doesn't stand a chance against them). There really is no reasonable doubt that he 26 year old, 2200 player, could play like this.
But I guess he could have been also very very very very very very very very lucky...
Just because you have some strong evidence (based on your perception) does not constitute "proof", especially when it comes to accusing a person of some nefarious action. Even in criminal cases, people don't get sentenced until the "weapon" of the crime has been found and clearly associated with the presumed-guilty person. In this case, no weapon of crime has been found, despite obvious attempts. The evidence is still there, but this is not a proof, and cannot be used as such in any meaningful court case or similar.
In the case of treating people with dignity, it must be the case that one is presumed innocent until proven guilty, not until suggested guilty.
Yeah Sittingpawn, you make good points about innocent until proven guilty.
But I just went over games 1 2 and 3 with Houdini 2.0(starting from move 10), and in games 1 and 3, there are like 6 instances where he doesn't chose the main move, but choses the second main move (with very little difference), or 2 times the third (with also very little difference, which can be due to individual engine differences). I often watch games of Carlsen, Aronian, Kramnik (the absolute top GM's) online, where you have live Houdini Analysis. These guys never play such computer perfect games. Never!
So from the 3 matches I analysed, he played 2. That is real proof he had engine assistance. Really, it is.
And in the second game, he also follows Houdini for a very large amount of moves.
Basic statistical AN of the facts (the moves) indicated an extreme likelihood of cheating. Normal top GM games hit an engine's top 3 moves up to about 60 percent of the time. The player in question hit much higher, exception of game 8, which is a curious game how the game played out in the first 16 moves and then in the remaining phase.
In addition to the statistics, some moves may be red flags to computer use... moves that only a computer would play b/c it's not very good or b/c a human would never simplify or translate the position in such a way b/c of risks.
I ran tests of his play against Houdini [engine matches of his moves to the engine's top move] - anybody can do the same. You will find that the match-ups are very abnormally high. I didn't present all that I found b/c it is a thankless task.
Anybody can present a position statement and use rhetoric and claim that is an argument too. I don't like to support cheats though in cases in that is extremely clear to me that this occurred. It's good to know that people have the best intentions though regardless of their judgments and their feelings and their ability to navigate concrete and circumstantial evidence. Not the first time this sort of thing has happened in the chess world, sadly. Too bad, but the world has much bigger problems (the propaganda machine ) and much greater pleasures... so good-bye and enjoy your day.
sittingpawn, these young chess players who beat GM's are usually on their way to being a GM or in a simul.
This debate has become far too heated, and far too irrational. All this random talk of embedded microchips is highly fanciful, but downright ridiculous. It would be nice to be able to hear from Mr Ivanov himself, but given the way he has been treated, I think that is highly unlikely.
@Rustyknife... NO! that's inane!
1.) Being a computer programmer has NOTHING to do with being a cheater and just because you are a computer programmer should not in any way incriminate you.
2.) What do you mean by makes houdini precision moves? This statement then can apply to most player above 2000, I guess anyone who makes a good combination that agrees with Houndini now (ahhh I remember the days of rybka) is some cheating chess philanderer.
3.) So from now on if the lowest rated player plays better than his rating, lets accuse him of cheating... What's the point of even showing at a tournament if you're going to be the lowest rated player because if you do well then you're a cheater and I guess the flip is that you perform as expected and loose every match.
4.) Beating a GM is the goal here, btw, the term GM does not mean you're god-like in chess and it doesn't mean you should automatically win. How many GMs get beaten by 12 year old kid prodigies, should we accuse them of cheating?
5.) I'm glad you got that down to the 26th decimal place, if you'd only gone for the 25th I'd think, well that's not too bad.
I don't know the standards for innocence in Croatia, but I should state that not only should a person be considered innocent until proven guilty, he also was shown innocent by every method possible... He was stripped search, the live stream was shut down and still he performed above his rating... Prove him guilty and maybe I'll agree with you on point 5.
Honestly, I just want the Tata Steel Chess Tournament to start because I want to see if Carlsen can reach a rating of 2870 and maybe Anand will finish second place for a change, but most probably he will move down to #8 or #9 in the live rating list.
@sisu~ I disagree, he described the move as against chess culture, which I find pure twaddle to say the least, but even if we were to interpret it as meaning against opening theory we still cannot deny that the move is considered a possiblity. His whole premise was that this move goes in the face of getting the knight to c4, but it doesn't the knight can still get to c4. The problem with this discussion is that we're nit picking over an opening choice which is by no means great but isn't some 1200 rated player move. How often do we see players of lesser strength try new or more obscure openings against higher rated opponents hoping to catch them off guard. I just don't see the relevance of picking that one move out of all the games and calling attention to it.
Also on this point of a computer chip under the skin. I know that it can be done and it of course has been done to animals for tracking but a chip alone isn't going to do anything, even if you got it to produce an electric stimuli to a person the chip would certainly not have enough power to produce any noticeable effect by the user. A larger power supply and some form of mechanical device would also have to be put in to communicate with the person well enough to send a message, likely as in a Morse code. To go through this to cheat in such a small tournament seems less likely than the idea that for one tournament he played above his pay grade.
@Petrosianic~ It's a shame you've given up on discussion so quickly and wont be able to hear the arguments against what you've pointed out. I guess that says something.
To your suggestion that I do the research myself. I cannot consider sitting down with a computer and using it to analyze a game as research because it isn't. True research would be to investigate everything known about this individual, his past games, the direction his playing life has taken, the stability and rise of his ratings and his work as a "chess programer". Genuine research would be intricate and too much to vest for someone who has been shown to not have been cheating. I find it funny that someone on here points out that he lost the match that they after canceled live feed but then goes on to state he beat a GM in the next round which was also not a live feed but still says the guy cheated. Humans like to attack people who do well and hate to see people succeed. We have to tear them down when this occurs, it is our biggest flaw.
Petrosianic, you state "in addition to the statistical improbability of matching Houdini's #1 choice every single move for hundreds of moves." Which I believe you were referring to the match which you said he was 100% with houdini till move 116 but you fail to answer my question about move 69... Ke3 I believe it was. And also I must confess a bit of skepticism in your statement that he concurred with houdini 100% of all moves leading up to even move 69 and here is why. While computer programs assess information based off of complex algorithms, the truth of the matter is the hardware and software are equally important and chess is of a nature that even computers will not completely agree on a positions best move 100% of the time. If this were the case there'd be no reason to pit them against each other because the games would all be the same. If you play a computer you will find that even if you make the exact same moves they computer will not. This is not because it's learning but because at times many moves are equally as good as other moves and it really is just how deep the computer has looked and where it is in it's inspection when it makes it's move. If you set the parameters of an engine to analyze the game at say 10min a move and you run that same engine 100 times, you'll likely get some repeats but you will never get 100 identical analyzations. So, the probability that this guy is cheating and that your computer just so happens to coincide with the computer helping him along for 116 moves, especially when there were many inaccuracies and even a bit of a blunder played by that player well before the 116th move just seems to be astronomical. You two would have to have been running the same program (unlikely in his case if he was trying to test out a program he wrote in a real life situation, which was implied in pointing out he was a chess programmer), running on the same hardware while running the same background non chess software... in the same atmospheric conditions with equally similar electromagnetic interference and... well you get my point, I hope.
You stated: "I don't spell it out for people point-by-point, move-by-move, why one move is a computer move, and one move is a human move; I assume people have the capacity of reason to do that for themselves." First off the ability to do so isn't really an issue of capacity of reason. It's an issue of knowledge. If it were so easy to point out a computer move from a human move than there would be no issue with whether or not someone was cheating. If we automatically could find a computer move in a string of human moves than this debate wouldn't be possible. What makes a move computer "like" is really what is the main point of contention. But the real truth is that if he played similar moves but then somehow blundered later and lost all of his games nobody would then go back and say he was cheating for a point of each match because those moves were obviously made by a computer.
"And yes 9...Nc6 in game 9 consigns Black to a worse position than normal as several continuations suggested that was based on human, computer and strong human database analysis." Bent Larson made a career off of playing openings with moves that were "worse". Truth be told it's not a move that is horrible or even grossly off base with the najdorf. It might be worse that is hardly proof. Nakamura plays worse positions, I can ramble off many players and I'm sure there are many at a 2200 level that play openings with a move that is "worse" than standard book after the 9th move and yet still manage to pull of exceptional middle and end games. Regardless of the other evidence move 9 in that game is not evidence of cheating. Bad opening decisions with remarkable outcomes occur regularly.
@sittingpawn: the move by itself is not enough to qualify someone as a bot, that is true. However it is what Petrosianic described it
@sisu~ I understood this but I disagree with the premise that this move is dubious or in the least so bad that it warrants calling someone a bot. Openings aren't as cut and dry and people believe. Many a Grandmaster have made careers of reviving openings once considered "dubious". It also isn't completely alien to the knights movement to c4. Keep in mind the move is less common so maybe as to keep the rote memory of a GM off his toes and it can bring one into a middle game position quicker so if the player is less confident in his memory of opening positions but more confident in his calculation skills it could work; it's not a horrible move. I mean for goodness sake, the guy could easily have made a mistake in the opening that wasn't punishable but the idea of using that move to lend credence to an idea that he was botting is a horrible stretch.
My coach had me teach to a group of his junior students some basic openings to help improve their understanding of some basic ideas. Although I did try quite hard and eventually got preety good at playing several openings when I tried using them against reasonably strong opponents in friendly matches (at least 1600+, in -say- 30/20 matches) to get a good opening position or at least surprise them I blatantly failed. Using a bunch of different openings against a GM when you are a 2200+ player seems impossible to me. Then again, he might be the next Kasparov or Carlsen or Houdini 3.That's all I had to say.
A remarkable result against players 200-300 points above him. Whether or not it's a cheating case, it's evidence that there are things we don't and can't know or predict even in an apparently logical domain such as chess.
There is practically no possible way to detect small computer chips if they've been implanted carefully, without being overly disturbing to people's privacy, so at some point soon the searching method will have to admit defeat. Alternatives exist though, such as not transmitting the games live, and/or enclosing players in a cube (which is doable for small tournaments) that hinders or scrambles electronic transmissions. It seems like one of those so called "arms races" without an end.
In information and communications theory there is a concept called a "covert channel", referring to the hidden transmission of signals via some apparently undetectable mechanism (e.g., scratching your head 3 times means queen, scratching twice means rook, etc.). There is a proven result in that theory, which says that good covert channels are undetectable even in theory. The only thing that can be done against a covert channel system is to force a slowed down rate of transmission (e.g., making it a lot of work for the transmitter to create and send his/her signals in a way that keeps it all undetectable). In other words, if done carefully and diligently, this stuff is virtually impossible to catch or prove.
I played a kid who's father used a computer in the guest room of the Mechanic's Institute of SF. UCSF rated. The kid went to the bathroom almost EVERY move after move 10 or so. Yes, he went into a stall so I couldent see what he was up to the two times me and then the TD checked on him. He played like a GM for about 24moves though rated 1600 or so. Think he was packin software n hardware in his baggies. Very frustrating and annoying.

As we close in on the NBA's quarter-season mark, fantasy basketball teams with little history of roster turnover have their statistical identities set. Injuries and unexpected performances—positive ones and negative ones—have created an environment where plenty of fantasy teams can be improved via the waiver wire.
The following list contains guys who are available in the majority of ESPN.com leagues. Because of that caveat, Milwaukee Bucks power forward Larry Sanders (74.0 percent owned) is absent from this list, but he—and his 22 blocks in the last three games—should be snatched up if he's available.
Each player on this list has a positional priority rank for every spot for which he is eligible on ESPN.com.
All statistics accurate as of Dec. 4, 2012.

Upgrading Guide
P.S. Pictures coming soon hopefully.
1 - Grading
2 - Extraction
3a - Fortification
3b - Recommendations
4 - Light Fortification
5 - Removing Stats/Repairing Equipments (To be added)
(NPC to grade,extract,remove stats.)
(NPC to fortify/light fortify.)
1 - Grading
Grading is the process of adding extra stats to your item.
By extra stats, it means that either you get positive stats such as +1STR or negative stats such as -1DEX.
It is up to you to decide if you want to take the risk.
First, to grade, take your item to the laboratory located at the lower-right of the town.
Second, take your item that needs to be upgraded and place it in your inventory if you haven't already done so. (Equipment that you are wearing and want to grade has to be un-equiped first.
Third, place your item into the box under the word "Item" and click "Confirm" located in the lower middle section. Wait for your item to be graded and your results should appear in a couple of seconds.
Enjoy your results! Results are shown in orange on your equipment.
2 - Extraction
Extraction is the process of taking any equipment (Armors,Weapons,Accessories) and turning them into one of the following:
1 - Fortification Stones
2 - Catalyst
3 - Dimly/Brightly/Brilliantly Shiny Ore
First, to extract, go to the laboratory located in the lower-right of the town.
Second, make sure the item you want to extract is in your inventory. Click the tab that says "Extract".
Third, place your item into the box "Item" and click "Confirm" located in the lower middle section. Wait for your item to be extracted and your results should appear in the box located below the item box.
Your results will vary depending on the level of your item, the rarity of your item, and your real life luck. The most common results are fortification stones and catalyst. The shiny ores are by far the hardest items to get. I'm not sure if the rarity affects your chances as I have gotten the ores from a white item, and an orange item.
3a - Fortification
*Read this first*
Thy two rules of fortification.
1 - Catalyst(s) may increase the chance fortification. The max amount you can use is 20. (Some claim that catalysts increases your breaking chance but I think that is absurd.)
2 - There are 4 possible outcomes in fortification.
A - Succeed. Your item gains a level.
B - Fail (No change). Your item does not change what so ever.
C - Fail (Degrade). Your item drops a level.
D - Fail (Destruction). Your item breaks.
Ok now that is done, fortification is the process of upgrading your weapon or armor to increase it's stats/add more stats.
First, make sure you have plenty of fortification stones (catalysts are optional) to start your fortifying.
Second, make your way to the blacksmith located in the lower-left of town.
Third, make sure the item you want to be upgraded is located in your inventory.
Place your item into the box under "Item". Put catalysts into the box under "Catalyst".
Click "Confirm" and wait for your item to finish fortifying.
Hopefully you get the results that you need. Results are shown in green on your equipment.
3b - Recommendations:
(I recommend that you always upgrade your item to level 4 as it is fairly easy to achieve this level.)
Levels 1-3 (+3 defense for armors,+3 attack for weapons)
Your equipments can break in these levels. Theses levels are still considered safe levels by me.
Level 4 (+1 to a stat depending on the type of your equipment)
In these levels and beyond, your item may have any of the 4 possible outcomes occur mentioned eariler.
Helm : Int
Armor : Int
Pants : Vit
Glove : Str
Boots : Dex
Weapon : Str
Level 5 (+2 to the stat listed above)
Level 6 (+3 to the stat listed in level 4)
Level 7 (Two additional stats +4 and +1 respectively)
Helm : Int , Vit
Armor : Int , Str
Pants : Vit
Glove : Str
Boots : Dex , Vit
Weapon : Str , Dex
Level 8-9 (Two additional stats +5 and +2 , +6 and +3 respectively)
4 - Light Fortification
Light fortification is similar to fortification. The difference is that the items required to light fortify are harder to get and also, harder to succeed in light fortification. When successful, you get a bonuses to almost all stats on your equipment.
*Same rules apply to light fortification from fortification. Catalysts may be used up to 20.*
Instead of fortification stones, you use dimly/brightly/brilliant shining ores.

The riddle for one of the Wraith Hearts talks about the combination of the treasure chest being in the book. Look inside the instruction book of the game and you will see the three characters that stand beside the treasure chest and the combination for the chest is right around them.
CheatsBack to top
Super moves are available once your super bar at the top is full. To build that meter quickly, tap X rapidly and repeatedly while attacking an enemy.
Vexx can do a slower, more powerful version of his 3-hit combo by pressing attack at a slower pace, and holding it on the last blow. Vexx does a moderately powerful uppercut that refills more of his special meter. Use R to use the super move at the right time.

You Won't Find Don Rickles on GodTube
Plano-based GodTube, founded by Dallas Theological Seminary student Chris Wyatt way back last spring, is old news 'round Unfair Park parts. But every now and then, folks still stumble across the site and treat it like the Second Coming, especially after last week's news that the site received an influx of cash, 'round the $30 million mark, from a London hedge fund. Today, as a matter of fact, GodTube's blessed with a New York Times write-up, which brings us a few interesting factoids about the site not intended for the unclean, by which I mean the folks in my bar mitzvah class or Neil Diamond, or the satirically inclined:
Unlike its secular cousin, YouTube, GodTube is proudly filtered: all content must gain approval from the site's headquarters in Plano, Tex. Vulgar and overtly sexual material isn't allowed. Neither are videos promoting other religions -- for that, there are JewTube.com and IslamicTube.net. (Appropriately enough, the domain name SatanTube.com is for sale.)
Mocking Christianity is definitely not allowed. James O'Malley, a 20-year-old from Leicestershire, in Britain, posted a series of videos last year that jeered at evangelical theology. During a videotaped walking tour of the Natural History Museum in London, he referred to a plesiosaur fossil as a "liar-saur" and noted that volcanoes tended to erupt in non-Christian countries.
"The first couple of videos, where I spoke about Biblical infallibility and homosexuality, remained on GodTube and were treated like any other video," Mr. O'Malley said. "It was only when I posted a third video suggesting that the earth was flat and that astronauts were part of the 'round earth' conspiracy that they finally cottoned on to the fact it was a hoax, and I was banned."
On that note, then, this from JewTube, where they're really doing God's work. And a bonus. --Robert Wilonsky

Volume 130, Issue 23, 21 June 2009
We present a new method for isothermal rigid body simulations using the quaternion representation and Langevin dynamics. It can be combined with the traditional Langevin or gradient (Brownian) dynamics for the translational degrees of freedom to correctly sample the canonical distribution in a simulation of rigid molecules. We propose simple, quasisymplectic second-order numerical integrators and test their performance on the TIP4P model of water. We also investigate the optimal choice of thermostat parameters.
Approaching the Hartree–Fock limit by perturbative methods130(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3152864View Description Hide Description
We describe perturbative methods for improving finite-basis Hartree–Fock calculations toward the complete-basis limit. The best method appears to offer quadratic error reduction and preliminary numerical applications demonstrate that remarkably accurate Hartree–Fock energies can be obtained.
Controlling molecular rotational population by wave-packet interference130(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3155063View Description Hide Description
We propose a control scheme for selecting populations of molecular rotational states by wave-packet interference. A series of coherent rotational wave packets is created by nonadiabatic rotational excitation of molecules using two strong femtosecond laser pulses. By adjusting the time delay between the two laser pulses, constructive or destructive interference among these wave packets enables the population to be enhanced or suppressed for a specific rotational state. The evolution of the rotational wave packet with selected populations produces interference patterns with controlled spatial symmetries. This method provides an approach to prepare a molecular ensemble with selected quantum-state distributions and controlled spatial distributions under field-free condition.
Auger recombination and excited state relaxation dynamics in anion clusters130(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3149562View Description Hide Description
Using femtosecondtime-resolved photoelectron imaging, electron-hole pairs are created in size-selected anion clusters , and the subsequent decay dynamics are measured. These clusters eject electrons via Auger decay on time scales of 100–600 fs. There is an abrupt increase in the Auger decay time for clusters larger than , coinciding with the onset of the transition from van der Waals to covalent bonding in mercury clusters. Our results also show evidence for subpicosecond excited state relaxation attributed to inelastic electron-electron and electron-hole scattering as well as hole-induced contraction of the cluster.
Strong fields induce ultrafast rearrangement of H atoms in130(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3157234View Description Hide Description
H atoms in are rearranged by strong optical fields generated by intense 9.3 fs laser pulses to form . This atomic rearrangement is ultrafast: It occurs within a single laser pulse. Quantum-chemical calculations reveal that originates in the state of when the O–H bond elongates to 1.15 a.u. and the H–O–H angle becomes 120°. Bond formation on the ultrafast time scale of molecular vibrations (10 fs for ) and in strong fields has hitherto not been reported.
Formation of a dual hydrogen bond in the moiety in the indole- cluster revealed by IR-dip spectroscopy with natural bond orbital analysis130(2009); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.3157254View Description Hide Description
IR-dip spectra in the NH stretch regions have been measured for the state of the indole/N-methylacetamide 1:1 clusters (Ind-). We identified two structural isomers of Ind- that possess an hydrogen bond. The redshifts of the NH stretch fundamental of the indole moieties in Ind- are larger than that for Ind- [Carney, Hagemeister, and Zweir, J. Chem. Phys.108, 3379 (1998)], indicating that the strength of the hydrogen bond in Ind- is stronger than that of the hydrogen bond in Ind-. On the basis of the natural bond orbital analysis we suggest that two lone pair orbitals of the O atoms in the NMA moiety form a dual hydrogen bond with the NH group designated by . Owing to the dual nature of the hydrogen bond its strength in Ind- is larger than that of the hydrogen bond in Ind-.
