Will We Find
"I think something's wrong."
"What do you mean?"
"ARI just notified me that the ship landed."
"1, 2, and 4 didn't notify me. Their notifications should be consistent."
"Switch on their eyes."
"Is that…"
It's 3."
If robots had feelings, had emotions, had thoughts, then humanity would either be doomed, or blessed.
If your computer one day professed it's love for you – How would you react?
If your car suddenly started driving itself – What would you do?
And if your toaster suddenly started insulting you – Would you still make toast with it?
And what if a group of robots found other robots?
On a small, discreet, cold planet?
1's camera protectors slid open with a whirr, and the cold lifeless eyes started to glow a soft green light.
Next to 1, was 2, who was currently doing the same.
And next to both of them, 4, was Powering On, as well.
They were doing something us humans might call 'waking up.'
And yet, they were doing so much more.
In the deepest corners of their hardware, they were backing up information, surveying the scene and calculating the best move, performing elaborate mathematical equations that would stump even the most wizardly math genius, and playing Call of Duty against each other.
"1 to ARI, have we landed?"
1's voice came out as a commanding sort of monotone, the perfect voice for a leader.
"Yes, 1."
ARI, (Advanced Robot Interface), had a woman's voice. Soft, soothing, but informative and wise.
"1. 4. Should we go…outside?"
2 had a more childlike, more human voice. It fitted her, being the most human of the four robots inside the small spaceship on Planet Y.
"Performing: Going Outside."
4. The least human. Brought along only because 1, 2, and ARI needed a more advanced super computer to come up with the most logical answers, best outcomes, and heavier weaponry.
The group was called Take Two.
And as 1, 2, and 3 walked out the door of the spaceship, ARI opening it for them, Mission Control back at NASA was enjoying a pizza party, and not even noticing the small malfunctions going on in the robot's heads as the air of Planet Y seeped into their hard drives.
As their 'eyes' flicked about the planet, they noticed five things.
The ground was purple. Not a deep purple, more of a periwinkle. The planet had clouds. Which meant Planet Y was not as uninhabitable as the humans thought. Not only did the planet have clouds, but trees, too. The planet did not, however, have very much water. Probably only enough for a small colony of four of five humans to survive on. A group of similar looking robots were coming their way.
They sent all this information back to ARI.
"1. Do you notice anything…odd?" 2 asked, if she was a human, her palms would have started to sweat at the sight of the oncoming robots.
"Whatever do you mean, 2?"
"There are others…Like us. Up ahead."
Deep in the far corners of 1's hardware, his game of CoD turned off, the mathematical equations were suddenly interrupted, and his information stopped backing up.
He was now only surveying the scene.
Through new eyes.
Had gone wrong.
"We…See others like us all the time."
"But we weren't supposed to encounter them here. Right, 4?"

Every day, refugees and migrants risk their lives as they seek a new life. Now, a new report from the International Organization for Migration has put a figure to the number of victims: at least 40,000 deaths since 2000.
More than half of those who died -- some 22,000 -- were trying to get to Europe, the IOM said.
Nearly 6,000 more migrant deaths occurred along the U.S.-Mexico border and another 3,000 deaths from migration routes including Africa's Sahara Desert and the waters of the Indian Ocean, according to the group's research.
"Our message is blunt: migrants are dying who need not," said IOM Director General William Lacy Swing.
"It is time to do more than count the number of victims. It is time to engage the world to stop this violence against desperate migrants."
The IOM report, published Monday and titled "Fatal Journeys -- Tracking Lives Lost during Migration," puts the number of those killed trying to reach Europe at nearly 4,000 since the start of 2013.
More than three-quarters of those victims died in the first nine months of this year, many of them drowning after being trafficked in unseaworthy vessels from the shores of the Middle East and North Africa across the Mediterranean.

The UK's first 3D children's movie, culled from Francesca Simon's spectacularly successful books, is not exactly a masterpiece.
For one thing, the 3D appears to be used sparingly, so that you pay the hiked ticket price for practically nothing. For another, the storyline about a boy who won't do his homework but saves his school from corrupt inspectors and an evil headmaster is revealed without much flair.
The screen debuts of Theo Stevenson as Horrid Henry and Scarlett Stitt as Moody Margaret, the girl next door whom he hates, are praiseworthy.
But the rest is more than a bit of a mess, with musical interludes popping up now and then to keep things going. The best of these has Ross Marron's Perfect Peter singing Frère Jacques at the school concert first in orthodox fashion and then as a rock number.
The point of Simon's writing is that there is no such thing as childlike innocence. Which is just as well since adults are often as guilty as hell.
In this case, Horrid Henry, who can do nothing right, is faced with the kind of grown-up perfidy that exactly mirrors his own. If he's going to triumph, he's got to cheat.
The screen adaptation, which also has Anjelica Huston, Richard E Grant and Parminder Nagra in the cast, ought to be better than it is.

An exclusive group of BMW Group Canada customers went on a special trip to the BMW Welt International Delivery Centre in Munich, Germany, to receive their all-new 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupé Individual Launch Edition vehicles. After taking delivery of their new 2014 M6 Gran Coupés at the BMW Welt, the group went on to make a four-day drive event through Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Italy.
The group's first-class journey will cover more than 1,100 km of scenic terrain suited to showcase the performance as well as the luxury of the 2014 M6 Gran Coupés, the newest member of the carmaker's M family. Each of the new M6 Gran Coupé owners will have a big chance to become a part of a VIP experience at the 24h race and M festival at Nürburgring from May 17 to May 21, 2013.
The M6 Gran Coupé Launch Edition European tour includes first-class accommodations, a drive from Munich to Nürburgring, participation in the M festival and a chopper ride over the 24h race track during the event. The trip also includes a chance to visit the BMW test centre where they could meet the BMW racing team.
The trip serves as a perfect demonstration for the introduction of BMW's latest M6 member. It was made possible through a partnership between BMW Group Canada and BMW Individual. The 2014 BMW M6 Gran Coupé is finished in exclusive Pure Metal Silver paintwork and comes with exclusive two-tone upholstery.
It boasts of Merino Silverstone seat centers, lower dashboard panels and door inserts and black seat bolsters, center console, upper dashboard and carpeting. The coupé's black leather surfaces -- including front and rear seats, dashboard and upper door parts – were applied with Silverstone contrast stitching. The vehicle's interior trim is finished in BMW Individual Piano Black. BMW also loaded the M6 Gran Coupé with a state-of-the-art Bang & Olufsen audio system.

AAEP 2002: Racing Forum
- Dec 11, 2002
- Topics:
Medications issues aren't only centered on the work to create a uniform medication policy for racehorses, but on "renegade" drug manufacturers—who produce products that are not legal and contain little, none, or too much of various ingredients—and compounded drugs, which are not the same as "generic" drugs in the human market.
"People want the problem of racehorse medication solved, and the only way to accomplish that is uniform medication rules and testing standards," said Rick Arthur, DVM, a racetrack practitioner in California and a member of the Racing Medication and Drug Testing Consortium. He reviewed the progress made in this area for the AAEP Racing Forum meeting Dec. 4. This has been a hot topic in the Thoroughbred industry since the idea of creating a national policy on race-day medication was unveiled prior to last year's convention.
Arthur, a past president of the AAEP, said the group is operating under the basic principle that horses should not run under the influence of medications on race day with the exception of furosemide, commonly called Salix (formerly Lasix). He said there still are some areas of discussion on other race-day medications, especially ancillary medications currently used to control bleeding in some states (such as Maryland). The consortium also is operating under the assumption that one of a limited number of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs, such as phenylbutazone [Bute]) could be used up to the day before a race, but with regulated limits that have yet to be defined, and will be conservative.
One of the important details to be resolved is whether to use threshold levels for medications or withdrawal times in regulating medications. "There are some technical and philosophical differences that still need to be sorted out," Arthur said.
Today, 80% of drug positives on racetracks are residues of legitimate therapeutic drugs that "tripped the machine" in the testing laboratory, said Arthur. "That's a waste of time and money that could be spent on drugs of abuse."
The backbone for making these and other decisions, Arthur said, will be research. The consortium has almost $1 million promised by various groups for the research needed to finalize the medication policy. A committee modeled after the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation will review grant applications specifically for racing medication-related studies such as determining the pharmacokinetics of therapeutic medications or developing laboratory tests for a prohibited drug such as Epogen (EPO, a blood-building agent). Other research might be geared toward identifying new methods of detection of prohibited drugs.
Currently, research grants for medication studies take a backseat to health-related research.
"These research projects don't do well in competitive research grant funding," explained Arthur. "Are you going to fund research to detect EPO or improve the veterinarian's ability to save lives?" he added rhetorically. "The racing industry needs a way to fund finding the solutions to problems specific to our industry."
One of the priorities is to bring drug-testing science "into the light of day," said Arthur. He said in the past, it's been a lot of "us against them," meaning regulators and testing labs against trainers and veterinarians. "We want to be able to show everyone why we say a (drug) level is OK or not. The system cannot be a black box. No one has respect for drug testing (as it is today), so we need to re-invent ourselves. The first step is to open the system up to scientific and public scrutiny. Laboratory accreditation must come in the future. That's a controversial issue that is being discussed with the appropriate groups."
Arthur said it might take a while to get a model rule that everyone agrees with and then sell it to 37 regulatory bodies in racing states. The only way it will work, he said, is if there is a system based on science and is practical, but it will be a long job.
"The amount of money spent on drug testing now is peanuts," concluded Arthur. "And you get what you pay for."

On-off relationships, old flames that won't die down, partnerships that limp along despite some fundamental flaw, are not uncommon. Richard, 29, has had a similar experience: a relationship that didn't develop along the conventional lines of settling down and becoming a couple, but wouldn't fizzle out. For five years, he has been in sporadic touch with a girlfriend he knows he won't settle with permanently. "We met on a work trip, clicked immediately, and saw a lot of each other for 18 months. But when it came to living together, she drove me mad. She was untidy and impractical, and useless with money. In the end we split up. But we carried on seeing each other even after I had met someone else." The relationship now, he says, is not exactly romantic, and not exactly platonic. "I see my old girlfriend whenever she's in town, we go on what is basically a date. My current girlfriend, who is likely to become my fiancee, would probably hate it. She doesn't mind us meeting for a drink but would be horrified at our endless rehashing of the relationship. But there is something about my old lover that I don't want to give up. I think we will always see each other in some way or other."
Natalie, 34, has also found that breaking up is hard to do. "I was married when I met him, and fell head over heels quickly. Our 'affair' ended a few weeks after it had begun - we quickly discovered we weren't suited. But 10 years later, here we still are. I am still married and he is in a relationship, we both have children. Things have developed into something much more affectionate."
Over the years, she says, the relationship has been through many different phases. "It's years since we slept together, but the sexual attraction is strong - hence the frisson. But the truth is we wouldn't make it as partners - we're too similar, perhaps." She now appreciates her old lover's friendship as much as any romantic attraction, but says, "It is my belief that these relationships are never entirely comfortable. If they were, they would just turn into normal relationships."
There are other examples of relationships that won't disappear tactfully: Charles and Camilla, for example; or Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton; or Miles and Anna in This Life, who couldn't give up the meaningful glances even when he was at the altar.
Sentimentally cherishing the embers of an old fling is really a matter of self-delusion, believes Suzie Hayman, agony aunt, Relate counsellor and author of You Just Don't Listen (Vermilion pounds 8.99). "It's easy to build a fantasy, to think 'If only I'd stayed with so-and-so my life would be all different'. But you only remember the good bits of old relationships, and when you only see someone sporadically, it's always a series of high points, you never have to deal with the boring bits,"
Her advice on dealing with an old flame is to extinguish it - particularly if other partners are involved. "Splitting your affections is always dangerous and by fixing your mind on a fantasy you are cheating your partner and yourself."

The Fukuoka International Marathon has released the entry list for its 67th running on Dec. 1 and it's a familiar story line: one marquee African athlete and a half-dozen other foreign athletes in range of the best Japanese men on the list. Even more so this year, with its top-end list of seven names identical to last year's field save for the substitution of Ethiopian great Gebre Gebremariam for Ethiopian greater Haile Gebreselassie. Gebremariam gets the official number one seed from Fukuoka organizers due to his heavily aided 2:04:53 from the 2011 Boston Marathon with no note on the entry list of that time being aided, but with a legitimate best of only 2:08:00 from the 2011 New York City Marathon he has just the sixth-fastest PB in the field. The true top seed goes to bib #21, defending champion Joseph Gitau (Kenya/Team JFE Steel), the only man in the field with a genuine sub-2:07 to his name. Joining him again are last year's 3rd-placer and Polish national record holder Henryk Szost and, after a high-profile DNF in his debut in Fukuoka last year, 2007 Osaka World Championships 10000 m bronze medalist Martin Mathathi (Suzuki Hamamatsu AC).
Also returning are three of last year's top four Japanese finishers at Fukuoka, Hiroyuki Horibata (Team Asahi Kasei), Arata Fujiwara (Miki House) and Yuki Kawauchi (Saitama Pref. Gov't). Horibata suffered a stress fracture in the spring and was an early DNF at the Moscow World Championships, where his main reason for running despite being fully unfit seemed to be a desire to make up for his coach Takeshi Soh not getting to run the 1980 Moscow Olympics marathon due to the U.S.-led boycott. Fujiwara sustained another long-lasting injury after doing last year's Fukuoka on only a month's training, and after popping up last month for successful runs at the Great North Run and Hakodate Half Marathon he threw his hat in the ring for Fukuoka. Since then he has written on his Facebook page that he is not feeling great and thinks he has been overtraining, so whether he makes it to the starting line remains to be seen. Kawauchi will be running Fukuoka, his tenth of eleven planned marathons in 2013, four weeks after next weekend's ING New York City Marathon in a bid to become the first person to go sub-2:10 twice in less than a month, a mark which he will then attempt to erase two weeks later with another sub-2:10 in Hofu.
Beyond that the field thins out rapidly in name-value talent, but the breadth of nationalities represented hearkens back to Fukuoka's glory days as the world championships of marathons before there was a World Championships of marathons. No less than twelve countries are represented among the variegated subdivisions of the Fukuoka field, with no Ethiopians other than Gebremariam and all four Kenyans in the field calling Japan home. By today's standards it's a solid second-tier field; whether it's enough for Fukuoka to deserve its IAAF gold label status is debatable, but slower races can be just as exciting as today's high-speed bloodbaths and world record time trials. Who says looking backward can't lead you forward? Not Fukuoka. And you too can look forward to the live nationwide broadcast of the Fukuoka International Marathon on Dec. 1 with the starting gun firing at 12:10 p.m. Check back closer to race date for a more detailed preview and more information on live race day coverage.

MEXICO CITY— The Mexican National Team's attack is loaded with talent all across the field, but the keys to their success, particularly against the U.S. Men's National Team, lie with how Javier 'Chicharito' Hernandez and Giovani Dos Santos perform.
The two young attackers have terrorized American defenses for years, most recently together in the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final, and both are in form heading into tonight's showdown at Estadio Azteca.
Hernandez is the key to the Mexico attack, as evidenced recently by his two-goal performance in the team's 2-2 draw vs. Honduras last week. His movement and aerial prowess could cause problems for the U.S. team all night.
"He is a player who is fun to watch. There is a reason he is playing for Manchester United – because he is good," Klinsmann said. "So, we watch him, we scout him, we talk about him and we are sure that our centre-backs will take care of him."
"He's a pure number nine, a pure striker," U.S. defender Damarcus Beasley said. "He's not going to beat you one on one, you don't have to worry about that. He's not going to take the ball and beat two or three guys. He's going to sniff out the balls in the box, rebounds, for him being small he's very good in the air. He's a very good header of the ball.
"You just have to watch him wherever he goes," Beasley added. "He makes good movements on the back-line."
U.S. defender Geoff Cameron had some modest success against Hernandez in the U.S. team's 1-0 victory over Mexico last August, though Hernandez still found his share of chances.
"You have to get tight to him, keep close to him because his movement is fantastic. He kind of reads off your movement," said Cameron. "He's just got a knack for goals. He's always sniffing around, you have just got to be prepared, keep an eye out all the time, because you never know where he is."
"From a striker's perspective – and for me, my whole game is movement, his movements are unreal, amazing," said U.S. striker Herculez Gomez. "He finds gaps, spaces, makes himself available. His goals sometimes aren't the prettiest but he is such an effective player with his movement."
Dos Santos presents just as many problems as Hernandez, and has enjoyed some standout performances against the United States, most notably the 2011 CONCACAF Gold Cup Final.
"He's unpredictable," said Beasley of Dos Santos. "He can go right, he can go left. He's quick. He likes to go at people. He likes to beat people one-on-one. He always has that confidence on the ball when he has it. He's a good footballer and he's hurt us for a couple of years now."
Whoever Klinsmann turns to as a replacement for Jermaine Jones will have his hands full trying to keep tabs on Dos Santos, who likes to float all over the field underneath the Mexican forwards. His performance in the 2009 qualifying victory at Azteca was key to Mexico's comeback, and his virtuoso performance in the 2011 Gold Cup Final was one of the most memorable parts of Mexico's triumph.
"I'd argue that, look he played well in the (2011) Gold Cup Final, but I think in other games we've done a good job on him," Bradley said. "He's skillful, in his own way very athletic, with a low center of gravity. He's strong and balanced. He's one of the guys that now is able to find little spots in between the lines, play off of guys, and then with his vision and way of moving with the ball and passing, is able to cause trouble."
Bradley could be tasked with trying to contain Dos Santos, but with Klinsmann talking about having the U.S. attack more, Dos Santos could have room to roam, which could spell doom for the U.S. defense if they aren't careful with both Dos Santos and Hernandez.
Judging Amy
I disagree that Chicharito is the key to Mex's attack. For me it's Gio more than Chicharito. Chicha doesn't have the ball that much. I think Chicha's a great player but he's not good at much except finishing and making incredibly smart runs and knowing where to be. Defenders probably aren't going to be able to stop that and if he's on his game he'll get some chances and score. Even when the D played about as well as you could expect them to at the Azteca in August, Chicha still got his chances.
Stop Gio and you limit the number of chances Chicha gets. Gio will also have the ball a lot more and he's fast and tricky and creative.
I don't think we can "stop" them. We just need to slow them down.
Judging Amy
Fair point. If things go like they've almost always gone @Mex, they'll dominate possession and get their chances. We have to limit those and counter effectively. But with JK talking about taking it to Mex offensively, who knows? We might see something else.
This assumes that Gio is the only one that can create space on the field. Look at the HON game. Chich scored twice, and neither was set up by Gio. One was a break to the goal line by Guardado and the other was a set piece serve from Salcido. You can't just focus on Gio. It has to be both.
I think the argument is that Chicharito's movement creates space for Dos Santos to operate between the lines. Hernandez is fast enough to stretch the backline, but also shifty enough to find space if the defense is packed in. Pulling the defenders around creates holes for gio to dribble into or play passes through. At least, that's the argument.
Judging Amy
Good points. I still think you focus in on Gio since he'll be having more of the ball. Limit what he does and Chicha gets less opportunities to hurt you.
big poppa
Gary Page
I think you have it backward. Chicharito is much more dangerous than Gio. He is, unfortunately, one of the best finishers around and can turn entry passes from anyone into goals.
I am more than just a little concerned for tonights game. El Tri have their backs against the wall and I think will come out attacking directly. When they start to get quality chances early and get the crowd gowing they will be nearly impossible to stop. I really don't beleive we can try to play an open attacking style or we could get our wheels blown off (5-2 sound familiar). I hate to say it but a defend and counter style will give us the best chance to win. I would love getting pummled in the stats i.e. Mexico having far more shots and corners, as long as Shea or Corona could come in at 80 and tally the tying goal. A point would be great.
Big Chil
Ives, you going to post lineup predictions?
Mine should suffice for a bit. What I'm hopeful for (a 4-4-1-1 a la Man U to give cover on the wings while still being attacking yet dangerous on the break):
—————Capt 'Merica————-
Zusi would tuck in on the second
Chicharito is only as good as his service. Cut off the supply lines, and you stop Hernandez. Gio is the real danger man for Mexico.
So which is it, is he good at taking people on one on one or is he not?
Old School
Hernandez is horrible at taking people on with the ball. He's a f–king mercenary and makes his money off the ball.
It would be nice if Landon Donovan was here in Mexico City to play instead of rejoining his team for the first time just to see the White House.
You love soccer enough to be training with college soccer teams and wearing your jersey at the White House for photo shoots, but not enough to be on a flight down to your nation's biggest rival?
Can't imagine how the players with real heart feel about Donovan at this point.
Maybe Donovan is a source and hates Klinsmann. Plus I'm not sure what good an out of shape and out of form Donovan would do.
Dave Watkins
I disagree entirely. Landon Donovan has meant more to US Soccer than anyone. He has put his heart and soul into growing soccer in the US, representing us with class and professionalism. If the guy needs a break, let him have a break. The goal against Algeria is my all time favorite. He's earned the right to take a break.
Travis in Miami
?..he hasn't played in like half a year and you want him to fly down to Mexico and play? He said he would be back in late March and he is showing that to be the case, calling him in for this or these matches would have screamed of desperation for JK.
I totally respect him for what he has done for US soccer over the past 13 years and I do understand that playing in MLS then EPL then USMNT for so long without having a break creates the need for a rest. But I would give my left arm to play in this game. I would love to have Corona take the field in the 2nd half and make his presence felt just like Donovan did when he was young. We need that person that the other team needs to always keep an eye on just like Mexico has with the Pea and Dos Santos.
away goals
Not to pick on you specifically, Sheriff, but I don't buy it when people say they'd "give anything" to have the chance to play. Or anytime people question a professional's heart or hunger.
Almost all of us are commenting on soccer rather than playing it because we did NOT give everything to play. We didn't spend hours working on our game every day since we were 9 years old the way donovan did.
We chose to do other things. Now we cheer on the players who made the sacrifices we didn't.
Eric W
i like that perspective. a lot.
Judging Amy
There's no way he's in any sort of form to play.
According to the Galaxy and Wisconsin university Landon has been training with them recently and if the students are to be believed he is already in game shape.
Judging Amy
I'd buy that he's physically in shape enough. He's always been able to run for days.
I'm talking about game form, i.e., not having played in real games for a long time, the mental aspect, etc.. A Nats game is a different level than an MLS club game and a qualifier at Mexico is at a completely different level than your average Nats game.
I'll say they are not to be believed. No way he's ready to go 90 minutes.
ya im sure the past few weeks has prepared him for the game!!! Not, he wasn't invited!!! Neither was bocanegra, gooch, tim howard, john o'brien or joe max moore.. the 24 in Mexico City are the best available, match fit, in form Americans out there. It could be a completely different group next time, but until he is playing well again LD is neither available, match fit nor in form! Get over it!
represent at anything as long and as well as Landon and earn a sabbatical. It's not weird or odd or anything in life. He was the leader for 3 WC cycles. If the USA qualify again and he plays, he'll join around 50 players to have ever made 4 WC teams. If he plays, which he would, the number shrinks to around 25 players all time to PLAY in 4 WC's.
your and others constant moan on this is weak
so look:
we're underdogs.
Mexico is desperate for a win and playing at home.
we're underdogs.
we're playing our #2 GK (who is great, but still our #2)
our back line is relatively young and untested and folks playing tonight especially on the flanks are deep into the depth chart.
we're underdogs.
We're missing one of our most dominating midfielders.
we're underdogs.
Mexico will be under a lot of pressure and we might be able to nick a win or draw, BUT…
we're still underdogs.
Enjoy the match, root for a win, but please folks, be reasonable and take it for what it's worth if we lose.
I seem to remember a dude named Peralta being pretty good too. I don't think you can go to sleep against them, but if we can demoralize them early, we have an opening to get out of there with a famous result.
Peralta is injured and De Nigris was not called . This time they don't have much as far as established forwards in the bench.
My concern is Aquino and Reyna on the wings. In the middle you got Dos Santos and Chicharito. So, to help apply pressure to all four players I hope we go with two DM's. Of course those two DM's need to get up field when when we have possession and attack. Our outside backs need to get up field as much as possible and support the midfield on attack. I can see Mexico taking shots from the top of the penalty area and perhaps even longer range shots in an attempt to move our defensive backs up. The best way to take pressure off of our defense is for our midfield and forwards to hold play up as long as necessary, use speed on the wings/backs, maintain possession, and force Mexico to play defense too. This could be a good game for players like Shea, Boyd, and Corona.

Survive the first 20 minutes, then hope that frustration, nerves, and a dissatisifed crowd begin to affect El Tri. Nick a goal on a counter and then hold on for dear life.
Gonzo heads in a goal off a corner kick and the goal stands for the winner 1-0 🙂
Hang on for dear life, because the first 15-20 minutes are sure to be an onslaught.
have to counter with authority too, push them back, scare them back, or else they grow in confidence and daring and that's not good
Dos Santos still looks like he has not hit puberty.
We got MO .. MO .. MO Edu and he F*** YOU!
This game will be no different than most US-Mexico matches. The formula for a US win is: take advantage of set pieces while hoping that our keeper (this time Brad Guzan) is playing out of his mind. I predict one US goal off of a set piece, another off of a counter attack, and about 10 saves by Guzan plus a couple saves by the posts–equals a 2-1 US win. Dare to dream…
Better to start with low expectations: Keep them to single figures, boys!
Guzan and Altidore will have to be important players for the US in this game. Guzan will need to make at least a couple of those shot stopping saves he has been making at Villa because Mexico is going to have chances. Altidore will need to covert 100% of his chances because he may only get one and that one chance could be the difference.

Gio is no big deal! USNT dealt with far better players.
Guardado speed and cross could be trouble.
USNT has to do what Jamaica did (don't be pussies and attack), cause mexico trouble size and speed, proper tempo control, and be careful of the ref, the refs always help mexico in Qualifiers.
I think people are over-estimating Mexico. I understand all of the things that make the U.S. underdogs in the match (Azteca, injuries, "form"), but the U.S. central midfield is still better than Mexico's, Clint is in form, Michael is in form, and Jozy is in form. If you add in Herc, that is pretty potent attacking force, and considering the the Mexican back 4 is disjointed with 2 starters missing, I think that attacking force can give them fits. I wouldn't be surprised to see us lose, but I agree with MB, we can play toe to toe with them. This idea of us needing to play like we did against Spain or Italy when we regarded those wins is ridiculous. Mexico, especially now, is a team we can play even with.
So many spelling errors! That's what I get for trying to keep one eye on the lookout for my boss and the other on the computer screen. Apologies, world!
+1 we are strong in the middle. On paper both are good and strong as long as they dont dominate the wings we should be able to keep it close.

Time having healed the wounds a bit, I have to say Gio's goal in the Gold Cup was one of the best I've seen in real time.

Damien: snap out of itMature
I think the thing that gets to me most about the state that Kyle's in right now, is that I'm pretty much responsible. I should've realised he was already feeling like shit. I should've seen that, and stayed, instead of freaking out and fucking off.
Drugs make me selfish - I know that now. All I'd thought about when I'd gone out was selling the crack on to make some money. I was hoping to find someone that would sell me methadone to up the dose I'm on from the clinic. It was the only thing on my mind.
The only thing that should've been on my mind was making sure Kyle was okay.
My self-pitying train of thought is derailed when there's a loud knock on the door. Kyle looks up a little bit, but I don't move at all. It's Rayn. I'd texted him on my way back, telling him I'd sold his crack and had his money for him. He knocks more, and Kyle mumbles "Better get that."
"Damien!" Rayn yells through the door. I mutter that I'll be right back, and hoping that he doesn't take advantage of my distraction, I reluctantly get up and let Rayn in. He doesn't seem to notice - or care - that my eyes are all puffy and bloodshot. "You got all the money?" he asks the moment the door's shut. I nod, picking up the brown paper bag on the table. I'd sold his half of the crack for just over fifteen grand. He'd bought it for nine. I'd hidden five thousand bucks under the sofa cushions and left ten thousand in the bag.
He looks inside the bag and counts the bundles inside, not hiding a look of horror at only having made $1000 in profit.
"Is that all?"
I nod, "it's all I could screw out of him. Sorry man." He seems kind of pissed off, but at least a little relieved he made some profit, and not at all suspicious.
"Okay, fine. I've gotta get going. See y'around."
"Yeah. Don't get your ass in any more trouble." He gives me a tiny smile and hugs me before he goes. I wander back into the bathroom, finding Kyle curled up in a ball on the floor. I try to ignore the blood as I sit down, playing with his hair.
Is this how he feels when I do shit? Like when he came home and found me behind the sofa, convinced that everyone was out to get me, including him? Or when I cut myself? Does he feel totally fucking helpless, and like it's entirely his fault somehow?
"Why are you even here?" he asks me quietly.
"Because I love you," I remind him.
"You don't," he tries to tell me again.
"Why would I be here if I didn't, Kyle?"
He shrugs a tiny bit, "To get your stuff? To make me feel bad for being such a whore?"
"I'm not going anywhere, Kyle. Not unless you want me to."
"The second one, then."
"I don't wanna make you feel bad, either." Nothing. C'mon, Kyle. I'm s'posed to be the emo fuck up, not you. "I just want us to go back to how we were before," I whisper. Before when I don't know. It's not like we've had the easiest relationship, with Danny and running away and this, and always my fucking self destruction. He still doesn't react, but when I feel tears begin to slip out of my eyes again, he starts scratching at his arm.
I kind of consider leaving him to it and just crashing on the couch, but I almost instantly reject that idea. I already left him to it and look what's happened because of that.
C'mon, gorgeous. Snap out of it. I want my Kyle back.

Product design: ZigBee specification, platforms released to all
San Ramon, CA — ZigBee 2006 specification and first four platforms supporting it are now available to the public for use in products that leverage ZigBee technology, the ZigBee Alliance has announced. ZigBee Alliance released the latest specification to members in September. The move brings to 34 the total number of ZigBee compliant platforms OEMs can use to develop product designs having ZigBee technology features.
The first platforms implementing the 2006 ZigBee specification and passing independent testing by one of two ZigBee-qualified testing labs are from Ember , Freescale Semiconductor , Integration Associates , and Texas Instruments . The Alliance requires at least three independent implementations to prove a specification revision and demonstrate interoperability to ensure the quality of future ZigBee products.
Bob Heile, chairman of the ZigBee Alliance cited the development as "an important step in providing a networking foundation for OEMs to develop a variety of products that offer more control for customers and businesses." He noted that with the certification of the four platforms, "it made perfect sense for us to post the latest version of ZigBee earlier than our original Q1 2007 date."

Denise Hall, Fit Fare – Since I like sweet potatoes so much, I wanted to share another recipe. As noted in a previous post on sweet potato fries, the sweet potato dishes I grew up with in the South, laden with fat and sugar, were far from fit fare. While scanning through one of my cookbooks, Enola Prudhomme's Low Calorie Cajun Cooking, I came across a recipe for sweet potato muffins I wanted to try.
I had the good fortune to eat this very item at her restaurant, Prudhomme's Cajun Cafe, in Carencro, Louisiana. While we waited for our meal, servers bought out homemade cornbread, rolls and muffins to our table for sampling. According to Enola, the recipe from the cookbook is a lower fat version of the muffin offered at the restaurant. I served my muffins at a Memorial Day picnic to great reviews.
Yield: 18 muffins
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and grated (3/4 c)
1 c all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup raisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
Dash of salt
1 c milk alternative (rice, soy, etc.)
1/4 c reduced-calorie margarine, melted (such as Smart Balance 37%)
2 egg whites
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray nonstick muffin tins with non-stick vegetable cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, flour, sugar, raisins, nuts, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, mixing well. In a separate bowl, beat together the milk, margarine, and egg whites with a wire whisk. Slowly add the milk mixture to the other ingredients, stirring well with a fork just until the dry ingredients are mixed. Do not overmix.
Fill each muffin tin two-thirds full with batter. Bake for 30 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted into the muffins comes out clean. Remove the muffins from the pan immediately and cool on a wire rack.

Why Dubai?
Everything about Dubai is the biggest, brightest, richest and most glamorous. Once a dusty outpost in the Emirati desert, the city has developed, redeveloped and rebuilt itself many times over, with a constant thrum of construction activity creating the 'next big thing' a mere component of daily life for Dubai's residents. Although, contrary to rumour, it does have a rich culture – rooted in Bedouin heritage and traditions of storytelling, song, dance and, oddly enough, falconry, that's often intangible but easy to find – if you know where to look. Steamy and sweltering for most of the year, a departure into the desert is a welcome respite from the chilly UK weather.
When it comes to its dynamic ever-rising skyline, modesty goes out of the tinted skyscraper window. There's the planet's biggest snow park with five different ski runs, a race track hosting the world's richest horse race, and lush fairways for its wealthiest golf tournament, all punctuated by superb shopping malls, souks and pockets of traditional architecture from tea houses to wind towers, all juxtaposed with miles of sun bleached sand, kissing crystal clear water tailor-made for dhow cruises at dusk, and a wild, remote interior with a desert worthy of a Hollywood romantic epic.
Recommended accommodation
Park Hyatt Dubai
A waterfront haven in the heart of the city, the Park Hyatt Dubai is located on the tranquil banks of Dubai Creek, adjacent to the world-famous Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. Designed in Moorish style, sleek stone walls inlaid with intricate detailing surround tranquil outdoor spaces dotted with date palms. Inside, the Moorish details continue, with stone arches, lanterns and wickerwork furniture inviting you to relax. The rooms are decorated in the same theme, Moorish or Mediterranean in design, with deep soaking tubs and walk in showers. We love the sun deck surrounding the outdoor pool, perfect for enjoying the almost guaranteed sunshine.
One&Only Royal Mirage
This beachfront palace is set amid abundant gardens, laced with meandering water features and streams. The close proximity to the desert sands on the other side of skyscrapers means this really does feel like a mirage: 25 hectares of lushly landscaped grounds, rich with palms; temperature-controlled swimming pools and wellness facilities; dramatic architecture that pays homage to traditional Arabic techniques; and no fewer than eight restaurants to choose from, each serving its own unique menu. Add to that its own strip of clean, white sands, lapped by the gulf 's clear, turquoise waters, and you've the perfect mix of city and beach hotel from which to enjoy your stay in Dubai.
