|Watch all EuroLeague Women play-off match-ups live on FIBA Europe TV, Tuesday starting at 14:00 CET
The time has arrived for 14 teams to battle it out for the seven coveted places alongside hosts UMMC Ekaterinburg at next month's prestigious EuroLeague Women Final Eight.
Sparta&K M.R. Vidnoje (2) are great rivals of UMMC and former four-time title winners. They finished an impressive regular season campaign by winning Group A and will now match-up against Municipal Targoviste (15) who will have to complete a huge upset against the leading scorers in the competition in order to make it through.
Ironically, some of their success has been attributable to a Sparta&K player in the form of young Russian center Ksenia Tikhonenko, who has been on loan with the Romanian club, having played with Sparta&K at the Final Eight in Istanbul last year.
Gabriela Marginean represents the best chance Targoviste have of causing what would be one of the biggest shocks in EuroLeague Women history, against opponents full of seasoned national team players and who rely on their strength in depth to win games, rather than one or two marquee players. Targoviste will also certainly need to take better care of the ball having spilled it more times than anyone else.
The other two clubs who have been touted as favourites along with Ekat and Sparta&K are also great rivals. Istanbul heavyweight duo Fenerbahce (3) and Galatasaray (4) will go up against Uni Györ (14) and ZVVZ USK Prague (13) respectively.
Fenerbahce lost in the Turkish League at the weekend and that may serve to sharpen their focus against a Györ team who will do well to compete in the paint against the likes of Ivana Matovic, Anastasiya Verameyenka and also Ieva Kublina who left Györ last month. Although notably, Fener are also the third best three-point shooting team this season, perhaps underlining the difficult job Györ coach Akos Fuzy has in coming up with a strategy to slow Fener down and therefore give his team a shot at an upset.
Galatasaray have been left rocked by the recent departure of influential point guard Lindsay Whalen. The USA Olympian opted to walk away after some alleged salary issues and Gala have turned to Lindsey Harding as a replacement. However, it's likely that until she settles into the team, they may continue to look to Turkish national team guard Isil Alben to pull the strings.
Gala do at least have the best defensive record by some distance in the tournament and will be a tough nut to crack for USK Prague who only just scraped into the post season. The one thing Natalia Hejkova and her Prague players do have is experience. They also have players in Rebekkah Brunson and Kia Vaughn who can possibly stand up to the strong Gala frontcourt trio of Ann Wauters, Sylvia Fowles and Sancho Lyttle.
|Alexandria Quigley is Kosice's second-best scorer, averaging 15.2 points per game
Good Angels Kosice (5) have had an incredibly productive and impressive campaign, mainly through the dynamic play and devastating shooting of Allie Quigley who has posted the best season of her EuroLeague Women career. However, despite topping Group B with nine wins from twelve games, Kosice lost their last regular season game and as a result, now face Perfumerias Avenida (12). The Salamanca club have some real momentum and confidence, having beaten tournament favourites UMMC Ekaterinburg during recent weeks, something which underlines just how much of a clear and present danger they pose.
Bourges Basket (6) and Wisla Can-Pack (11) offer the prospect of a series where points could seriously be at a premium and defence may reign supreme. Each have a standout player to utilise, with Bourges able to call upon recently crowned FIBA Europe Women's Player of the Year Celine Dumerc to inspire them, whilst Wisla have WNBA MVP Tina Charles to turn to. Bourges were engaged in one of the most intense play-off series last season when they were edged out by Rivas and this promises to be every bit as fiercely competitive.
Neither Nadezhda (7) nor CCC Polkowice (10) know what it is like to reach the EuroLeague Women season finale and therefore whoever comes out on top is likely to consider reaching the Final Eight as an extra special accomplishment. Whilst the Polish club don't have home advantage, they do have great form having won four of their last five games. They also have rookie Nnemkadi Ogwumike who is lighting it up and the likes of Laia Palau and Belinda Snell who both know what it's like to win the title. Much of the hopes of Nadezhda will rest on the shoulders of the phenomenal do-it-all Dewanna Bonnner who leads the way on points, rebounds and blocked shots.
Finally, Famila Schio (8) and Rivas Ecopolis (9) both know what it feels like to step out at the Final Eight, although only one of them will get to taste this occasion two years in succession. Both clubs have had bitter-sweet campaigns so far, suffering from injuries and inconsistency. Rivas head coach Miguel Mendez has even admitted he isn't quite sure what to expect from his team, whilst Maurizio Lasi must spark Schio back into life with the Italians having lost four of their last five games. Although he is likely to feel much better now that both Laura Macchi and Giorgia Sottana have slotted back into the team recently after being sidelined with illness and injury.

Well, okay, there might be a little NBA and NHL playoffs talk but then it's right on to Rage, Portal 2, Dragon Age 2 (Jeff finished it with 65 hours on the clock), and more. Of course, the big news of user data getting stolen from the PlayStation Network gets plenty of discussion as does the confirmation from Nintendo that a new console will indeed debut at E3. When Finishing Moves wraps it all up, the time has flown by.

This report is based on 263 round-trip flight prices from crowd-sourced airfare searches made between April 17, 2018 and April 24, 2018. We've included all trips that were shops less than 6 months before the departure that include a Saturday night stay.
Our data is drawn from Hopper's combined feed of Global Distribution System (GDS) data sources which includes about 10 million flight price queries per day, containing about one billion individual trips per day. Demand is represented as the number of queries not actual ticket purchases, and is calibrated across all GDS sources for each market. Lowest fare, or deal fare, is represented by the 10th percentile prices. For example if the 10th percentile price is $800 dollars it means that only 10% of trips are priced at or below this price.
Prices and popularity by date are determined by aggregating all flights that depart before and return after the date in question. Prices by date are 10th percentile prices of such flights. Popularity by date factors out the overall advance purchase distribution, as search rates naturally increase close to departure, in order to highlight long term patterns.

TORONTO — Organizers of a protest rally at the Pakistani consulate in Vaughan are being accused of a modern day "blood libel" for publishing a flyer that blames deadly terror attacks in Pakistan on a "Zionist plot."
A flyer publicizing the rally, which took place Jan. 14, states in bold red letters: "Massacre of Shia Muslims… Zionist plot – local and regional extremists hands." A group called Canadians Against Bloodshed appeared to be the sponsor of the flyer.
Jewish and Muslim groups condemned the flyer, while a former Pakistan-based journalist now involved in inter-community dialogue with Jews said Iran was likely responsible for the accusation.
"Iranian Shias are behind it," said Tariq Khan, who runs the Weekly Press Pakistan website. "Iran is against Jewish Israel, so they are trying to provoke in each and every occasion against Jews. But Ajmi [non-Arab] Muslims have nothing [to do] with anti-Jewish feeling… Iranians want to promote hate against the Jewish People."
Pakistan has been experiencing bloody terrorist attacks on a regular basis and two weeks ago, a series of attacks killed 116 Shiites and injured 150 in the Pakistani city of Quetta. Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, a banned Islamic group affiliated with the Taliban, claimed responsibility for the Quetta attacks, which took place months before a scheduled election.
The rally at the consulate was to "condemn the Pakistani government for not providing security to its citizens… Long live Shia-Sunni unity – Down with Zionist plots," according to the promotional flyer.
B'nai Brith Canada alerted police in York Region about the protest, warning "the inflammatory rhetoric of the promotional flyer… has the potential to incite hatred and spark violence against the Jewish community in Canada… The lurid nature of the flyer for tonight's event amount to a blood libel that crosses boundaries."
Len Rudner, director of community relations and outreach for the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs (CIJA), said, "We must always be concerned that there are individuals who still believe in the myth of a Jewish conspiracy. This is nothing new. It is deplorable that so little has changed."
Rudner said it was unclear who was behind the poster and rally. "Canadians Against Bloodshed" seemed to be the group distributing the flyer, but it "appears to have been created for the purpose of promoting the rally," Rudner stated.
CIJA asked police to monitor the event "for any actions or statements that would indicate a need for our community to increase its security preparedness or that could be in violation of the Criminal Code."
Law enforcement officials were believed to have attended, but a call to York Regional Police was not returned by The CJN's deadline.
Khan said that on hearing of the flyer, he contacted several Sunni imams, pointing to "a need to self-searching the root causes within our own ranks. It is too easy to throw the mud on other religions/nations/countries."
Khan said three imams called him back "and their remarks were very positive."
Meanwhile, the Council of Muslims Facing Tomorrow (CMFT) condemned the Quetta attacks, laying the blame with the Lashar-e-Jhangvi and the Sipahi-e-Sahaba.
"These notorious Sunni militias are criminal terrorist organizations secretly funded by the intelligence wing of the Pakistani military," the CMFT stated.
"Sadly, and to the horror of most Canadian Muslims, there are Muslims in the community who shamelessly and without any conscience seek to exploit such tragedies, as the one in Quetta, to advance their own subversive agenda in this country.
"It is deeply painful to see how such medieval conspiracy theories persist inside the Muslim community," said CMFT president Raheel Raza. "At a time when the Muslim community faces serious internal issues, it is shameful we continue to find some Muslims who place blames on others for Muslim failings. Painful as it is, the time is long past to keep denying we Muslims and no one else are the authors of our own misfortune. Fantasizing over such ridiculous ideas that there is a 'Zionist plot' serves only to deepen our self-inflicted misery, to avoid learning any lesson from our past history, and in refusing to be responsible for our present, deny any hope for our future."
Khan, whose news website is read by thousands of Pakistani journalists, said, "In Pakistan, neither the government nor any other organization believes it was done by Zionists, Israel or Mossad. They believe it was done by Indian intelligence agencies and Russian intelligence agencies."
Nevertheless, at the end of last week, the Daily Ummat newspaper ran a story which, when translated from Urdu, was headlined: "Security agencies in Pakistan arrest a Mossad operative from Lahore."
The article claims the alleged agent had been held for 2-1/2 years in Guantanamo Bay, where he was brainwashed. "After that, he was sent to Afghanistan, where he was specially trained to plan terrorism. And finally, he was sent back to Pakistan."
Relying on unnamed "credible sources," the article states the alleged agent's home contained a large cache of weapons, maps of sensitive areas and a laptop that showed he had been in touch with people in Israel via email.
"When the culprit was subjected to special interrogation mechanisms, he finally confessed that he was working for Israel's intelligence agency Mossad," the article stated.

What does VHS mean?
- The Video Home System is a consumer-level analog recording videotape-based cassette standard developed by Victor Company of Japan. The 1970s was a period when video recording became a major contributor to the television industry. Like many other technological innovations, each of several companies made an attempt to produce a television recording standard that the majority of the world would embrace. At the peak of it all, the home video industry was caught up in a series of videotape format wars. Two of the formats, VHS and Betamax, received the most media exposure. VHS would eventually win the war, and therefore succeed as the dominant home video format, lasting throughout the tape format period. In later years, optical disc formats began to offer better quality than video tape. The earliest of these formats, Laserdisc, was not widely adopted, but the subsequent DVD format eventually did achieve mass acceptance and replaced VHS as the preferred method of distribution after 2000.

Usage Notes
Hang has two forms for the past tense and past participle, hanged and hung. The historically older form hanged is now used exclusively in the sense of causing or putting to death: He was sentenced to be hanged by the neck until dead. In the sense of legal execution, hung is also quite common and is standard in all types of speech and writing except in legal documents. When legal execution is not meant, hung has become the more frequent form: The prisoner hung himself in his cell.

Subhumans and DOA were the two pillars of the Vancouver, BC, Canada punk scene who caught Jello Biafra's attention and were spotlighted in the landmark Alternative Tentacles compilation Let Them Eat Jellybeans. The Subhumans, first active between 1978 and 1982, were the more elusive of the two, with many out-of-print releases fetching bank on eBay and making it difficult for present-day fans to connect the dots.
Now, the Subhumans join the Alternative Tentacles Re-issues of Necessity pantheon with Death Was Too Kind, a collection of material from the early years, lovingly remastered from original source material: the very first single Death to the Sickoids (only 500 were pressed); the Firing Squad single; the self-titled EP produced by Bob Rock, who went on to work with Metallica, The Cult, Offspring, etc.; "Look at the Dawn" and "Pissed Off... With Good Reason," two virtually lost songs (only available on the 1996 collection CD released by Essential Noise in Canada), especially remastered for this reissue from the original tapes by Jesse Gander at Hive Studios.
Death Was Too Kind features the band's best-known lineup with Wimpy Roy, Gerry Useless, Mike Graham, Dimwit, and Jim Imagawa. Both the LP & the CD come with liner notes!
Another classic added to our Re-issues of Necessity series!
"A collection of THE SUBHUMANS' (not SUB/HUM/ANS) EPs, and two previously unreleased tracks. I love the Canadian SUBHUMANS (and the English one, for that matter) and I think their EPs are even better than the two LPs. Their debut 7" Death to the Sickoids/Oh Canaduh is about as close to punk 45 perfection as it gets-it's up there with THE DILS' Class War/Mr. Big. This collection shares the cover and name of the 1979 12" which featured the classic "Fuck You," later to be covered by DOA (and metal band OVERKILL.) My favorite SUBHUMANS song, though, is "Firing Squad." Brian Goble's voice on that song still gets me-and it's one of those punk songs that is probably going to make me cry one day. The two unreleased tracks from 1981, "Look at the Dawn" and "Pissed Off..." an instrumental, could be a lost classic. Old Canadian punk was rare in that there was very little garbage, and THE SUBHUMANS were one of the first and best bands. Well done to Alternative Tentacles for compiling and releasing this-it was about fuckin' time somebody did. You need this...if just to preserve your original copies of these records. Brilliant."
- Maximum Rock'N'Roll
From one of the 4 (the most of any reissue!) Top Ten of 2008 lists that chose this record:"One of the 1st punk bands to captivate me back in the '80s was the British Subhumans, and I had heard about a Canadian band with the same name, but had no interest in checking them out for some stupid reason. This irrational act made me wiat at least 10 years until I finally listened to the "Firing Squad" EP & spent the rest of the night kicking my own ass for being so stubborn. That's 10 years lost of not having the friggin' Subhumans in my life!"- Maximumrocknroll

Vendetta Online is a multi-platform 3D space-combat MMO for Windows, Mac, Linux/32 and Linux/64. The game permits players to interact in a vast online galaxy; fighting, trading, and mining their way to success. A "twitch" type real-time combat model makes true player skill the deciding factor instead of character advancement. Massive capital-ship battles shake the foundations of the major nations at war, while others struggle to push back the encroachment of the AI "Hives". A no-strings free trial is available.

The WorldForge Project is developing a complete, distributable framework for massively multiplayer online roleplaying games. The system will include a number of fully developed roleplaying worlds with unique maps, histories, creatures and legends. To run these worlds on the servers a balanced but highly customisable set of roleplaying rules is being developed. Provisions will be made to allow others the ability to recode the servers to use alternate rule sets. A standard protocol named Atlas is being developed to allow a common communication layer between clients, servers, and associated tools. For software packages that make up the system being developed by the WorldForge project, please see the dependencies for this record.

The game (via the oracle) may impose some structure on your exploration, but you need not follow all of the oracle's advice. There *is* a "total winner" status, by the way.

light grey is printed as black starting with RC5 (was grey in RC4 which was fine)
Wednesday, 01 March 2017, 14:55 GMT+2
Reason for closing: Implemented
Additional comments about closing: Threshold implemented
What is the platform affected? I cannot reproduce this under Mac OS X.
Please double-check also if you have not (accidentally) enabled black / white printing in the print preview.
Sorry for not marking my OS: it's XUbuntu 10.04.
It seems that not only white is transformed to black but also "near white" colors (which are not white with intend), black/white is not enabled (full color mode). The attached file shows the same behaviour in RC2 and RC4 as in RC5, in another file the printed color differs from RC4 to RC5 (perhaps another "white"-threshold?).
Maybe for this use case it is better to switch off any color correction:
'Edit' - 'Application Preferences' - 'Graphics View' - untick 'Auto correct black and white colors'
Please let me know if that solves / does not solve the problem for you.
The threshold might have to be configurable.. I can see the problem with the rectangle requiring color correction but the yellow / gray parts not.
If the threshold could be configurable (or just turned off so that only "pure white" will be translated) that would be just perfect!
I can switch off (for one file) and switch on (for another file) the translation, so it's not a "no go", but the configurable threshold would solve everything...
I have to backpedal: after some tests, the "auto correct black and white colors" is not what I need - I would have to change the background to white while drawing, which is not comfortable.
So if it would be possible to have the correction only for "pure white" or if the threshold could be made configurable, that would ease things a lot.
After the night, I would suggest having the discussed options not only "for everything" but rather having them for both "screen viewing" and "printing". This would enable working with corrected colors and printing with defined colors. This also would solve my problem.

What does PTS mean?
- The PTS is a Soviet tracked amphibious transport. PTS stands for Plavayushchij Transportyer - Sryednyj or medium amphibious transport vehicle. Its industrial index was Ob'yekt 65. Introduced in 1965, it is large, with a substantial payload of 10 tons, two to four times the capacity of the BAV 485, and better cross-country performance, at the cost of greater somewhat higher purchase costs because its tracked. The most common model is the improved PTS-M that is powered by a 350 hp diesel engine. It resembles its antecedents, the BAV 485 and ultimately DUKW, having a boxy, open watertight hull, with six road wheels per side, front drive sprocket, rear idler sprocket, and no return rollers. Like the BAV 485, and unlike the DUKW, it has a rear loading ramp. The crew is seated at the front, leaving the rear of the vehicle open for a vehicle, which can be driven in, rather than lifted over the side. To aid in facilitating this, the engine is under the floor. Propulsion in water is by means of twin propellers, in tunnels to protect them from damage during land operations. The PTS-M was adopted by the Soviet Army and Warsaw Pact forces, and has been supplied to Egypt, the former Yugoslavia, Iraq, Uruguay and other nations.

iPad Game Review: Master of Alchemy HD
Quick Reply
iPad Game Review: Master of Alchemy HD
Reviewed by Tom Slayton
Master of Alchemy HD (MoA HD) is a high-quality physics puzzler that tasks you with capturing a specific element (or elements). This is not as straightforward as it sounds (obviously). In order to achieve this goal, you must use a variety of lab equipment to convert the elements back and forth between their various states, and direct them toward their ultimate goals.
Gameplay involves placing the correct alchemical (is that even a word?) devices in the correct places. Many of these devices will have familiar names (crucibles, coils, etc), however don?t expect them to look familiar to you. In fact, you should plan on fumbling around the first few tutorial levels (at least), extravagantly wasting elements and creating a general shambles of your workspace as you try to figure out exactly which of these odd looking apparatus will make the little glowing bits do what you want them to do.
Don?t be dismayed, however, when the unfriendly warnings flash across the screen advising you that you have failed to perfectly complete a level. The 60 levels of this game are designed around the idea of you replaying them until you are satisfied with your performance. This frantic, timed aspect is the only part of the game I dislike. However, I am aware that this is simply a matter of taste, and that the game would be a lot less challenging without the relentless, incessant, inexorable, ruthless timer smugly ticking away in the corner. If you find yourself a bit like me in this department, keep in mind that you can pause the game at any time and study the screen. This little feature goes a long way toward lowering my artificially elevated blood pressure every time I begin a new level and see some precious element floating away into the firmament.
Parallels will invariably be drawn between this game and Enigmo/Enigmo II. Rest assured, these games, while sharing similarities, have significantly different gameplay, with MoA HD playing more like the steampunk lovechild of Enigmo and Incredible Machines.
Master of Alchemy HD is also integrated with Crystal so you can post scores, send challenges, etc to your heart?s content.
The graphics in MoA HD are absolutely beautiful. The combination of high resolution hand-drawn sprites and vivid particle effects make this one of the most graphically impressive iPad titles to date. Everything is smoothly animated, and the resolution is so high that you can zoom WAAAAY out and still see everything clearly. When I run across somebody who hasn't yet seen an iPad (this is getting rarer, and rarer, by the way), this is one of the two apps I use to showcase it (the other is Theodore Gray's The Elements).
MoA HD has a great little menu soundtrack that really adds to the atmosphere. As for the in-game sound effects, they are spot-on. The crucibles bubble, the coils hiss, and throughout the game, the little timer in the corner is unwinding with a very pleasant clockwork sound. When the designers were applying their final coat of polish to this game, they did NOT skip the sound.
While I may have 5-10 pages of applications (ok, games) at any given time, I reserve my home page for my favorites, and Master of Alchemy HD is what I consider a home page app. It greets me happily, along with my other four favorite games, whenever I turn on my iPad. I don't know how long it will reside there as I'm a fickle beast, but even when it is eventually bumped to page two, I don't expect to ever delete it. Yes, it's that good. The combination of beautiful graphics, mesmerizing sounds, and truly innovative gameplay have combined to form an entirely new element in MoA HD. If you're at all into physics puzzlers, give this one a try; you won't be disappointed. For the iPhone and iPod touch users, there is a version for your iDevice as well.
Ratings (scale of 1 to 5):
Graphics: - 5 -
Beautiful combination of high-resolution artwork and particle effects with smooth animation throughout.
Sound: - 5 -
Soothing instrumental menu soundtrack and almost hypnotic in-game sound effects.
Controls: - 5 -
Classically intuitive iPad touch controls. Manipulating objects in this game is simple and straightforward.
Gameplay: - 5 -
An excellent spin on the contraption/physics puzzle game. Strategically place objects to manipulate and ultimately collect the elements.
Playing Hints and Tips:
-Don't be afraid to fail your first time through every level. Use the time to watch where the elements emerge and study what devices you have at your disposal.
-Alternatively, if you're a purist, attack each level and try to beat it your first time through. If you can, I tip my lab goggles to you in respect. I dare you.
-If you're stuck on a level, move on! Every time you beat one, three more open so just play through and come back to it later. Or not.

NASCAR fans have almost made it through the dreaded two month offseason that the sport must experience each year, as tomorrow's Sprint Unlimited—formerly known as the Budweiser Shootout—marks the first Cup Series event of the year and comes a day before the much anticipated Speedweeks in which the drivers qualify for the Daytona 500 this Sunday, battle for the chance to improve their starting position on Thursday in the Budweiser Duels, and then race for the right to bring home the Harley J. Earl Trophy on Sunday. The 2013 season will be one full of many significant changes to the Cup Series, namely in the race cars used. The much-maligned Car of Tomorrow is now a thing of the past, as NASCAR finally abandoned the transitional car design and switched to the Gen 6, which makes the cars most distinguishable according to their manufacture and rids the sport of the box-shaped car that featured unattractive spoilers and front splitters that constantly were bent and banged to a point in which handling the car was out of the question. Although there are still many questions concerning the Gen 6 which will continue to linger for the first part of the season, the Gen 6 has had favorable reviews from several drivers and spectators thus far, something that the COT unfortunately never garnered. As important as the cars are to the sport, the drivers behind the wheels of these aforementioned automobiles are as equally crucial to the Cup Series due to each one's popularity and ability to keep fans talking and showing up at the tracks. This offseason saw several notable drivers leave their longtime homes to venture out to greener pastures, which will undoubtedly be highly critiqued as the season gets going. Meanwhile, the series also had provided driving opportunities for some younger talent that has been silently waiting in the wings, making for the best Rookie of the Year battle since 2007 when Juan Pablo Montoya took home the award. Without further ado, here's a look at the ten Cup regulars who you need to keep an eye on during the duration of the 2013 season: Danica Patrick, #10 Go Daddy Chevrolet – Like it or not, Danica Patrick is currently the face of auto racing, and this is the year that the thirty-year old must put up or shut up when it comes to competing in NASCAR. Patrick finished 10th in the Nationwide standings last season while piloting a car fielded by JR Motorsports, but she has yet to be in the hunt for a win in a stock car. Fans better prepare themselves for a slow transition by Patrick into the highest level of racing NASCAR offers and must also get ready to see Patrick climbing out of banged up race cars from time to time. Ricky Stenhouse, Jr, #17 Best Buy Ford – Stenhouse Jr's Nationwide Series championship seems to be forgotten by most this year mainly due to the fact that he is currently dating Danica Patrick, who will be his main competition for the series' Rookie of the Year award. Tabbed to replace Matt Kenseth in the #17 Roush Fenway Racing Ford, Stenhouse has proven that he can drive during his stint in the Nationwide Series, but it is not clear at this point if he can balance racing for a championship against the likes of Johnson, Gordon, and Earnhardt. Keep a look out for Stenhouse, who has the makings to be the sport's next young gun to take the bull by the horns. Love is in the air in Daytona Brad Keselowski, #2 Miller Lite Ford – Keselowski surprised everyone last season with his great performance down the stretch in the Chase, as he notched two wins and eight top-10s on his way to the Sprint Cup championship in just his third full season in Cup. Only twenty-nine years old, Keselowski still has plenty of time to make some more noise on the NASCAR circuit, and judging by his tendency to say just about whatever he thinks, it appears that he will do just that in 2013 and in the years to come. Matt Kenseth, #20 Home Depot Toyota – One of the most consistent drivers in NASCAR history, Kenseth made a huge career move following the end of the 2012 season, opting to leave Roush Fenway Racing, which failed to secure reliable sponsorship for the 2003 champion, for Joe Gibbs Racing, which is seeking its first championship since Tony Stewart brought the team the title in 2005. Although it will take the spectators a good bit of time to adjust to not piecing Kenseth and the #17 together anymore, Kenseth being competitive on a week-to-week basis will not take any time at all. Don't be surprised if the Cambridge, Wisconsin native is in the running for the championship once the teams head to Homestead in November. Dale Earnhardt, Jr, #88 Diet Mountain Dew Chevrolet – The sport's most popular driver for the last decade, Earnhardt finally got things going at Hendrick Motorsports in 2012, which saw Little E win his first race since 2008 and compete for his first Cup title until a concussion sidelined him for two races in October. Now rested and ready to make another run at the Cup, Earnhardt has the eyes of nearly all of his father's fans set on him, wondering if this will be the year that an Earnhardt brings home a Cup championship again. Jeff Gordon, #24 Drive to End Hunger Chevrolet – NASCAR's most talented and most hated driver over the past twenty years, Gordon has continued to show that he is not going to hang back and drive around on Sundays, instead opting to battle for leads and push the envelope, just as he has done for his entire Cup career. Now without iconic sponsor DuPont on his hood (the company was bought out by Axalta Coating Systems), the #24 may look different on the outside, but there's seems to be absolutely no evidence to say that it will be driven any different this year. Tony Stewart, #14 Bass Pro Shops Chevrolet – While the 2012 season was by no means a failure for Stewart (3 wins and 16 top 10s), it was not as successful as his 2011 championship venture, and when it was all said and done the veteran finished 9th in the standings. Now with Danica Patrick running for Stewart Haas Racing full-time, it will be interesting to see if the new aspects of his team become a distraction to Stewart, a driver that has had plenty in his time behind the wheel but has never let a single one become a distraction. Carl Edwards, #99 Fastenal Ford – Edwards followed up just missing out on the 2011 championship with a disastrous 2012 season, managing just 2 Top 5s with 0 wins—his first winless season since 2009—which led to Edwards missing the Chase. Edwards is one of the most popular and most competitive drivers in NASCAR, so keeping the 99 car running at the front of the pack will definitely be an acceptable and realistic goal for 2013. Kurt Busch, #78 Furniture Row Racing Chevrolet – Kurt Busch has been the Charlie Sheen of the Cup Series over the last few years, as the Nevada native has been given several high-prestige opportunities only to show his hind-end and let his anger management issues get the best of him; come to think of it, I guess Kurt would be a perfect guest star on Sheen's Anger Management. Busch goes into the 2013 season with Furniture Row Racing, a small-scale Cup team that had fifteen minutes of fame when Regan Smith drove the #78 to victory in the 2011 Showtime 500 at Darlington. If Busch keeps his cool and races with his head placed firmly on his shoulders, Furniture Row could be in the top 15 more often than not; if Busch loses his mind and makes a mockery of NASCAR again, not only will it be a replay of his tenure with Phoenix Racing, but it could also lead to the talented driver's ouster from Cup. Jimmie Johnson, #48 Lowes Chevrolet – Do you really think you could leave off 5-Time from any NASCAR countdown list? Arguably one of NASCAR's greatest drivers, Johnson's lack of championships over the past two years is not from a lack of trying, because in that time frame he has racked up seven wins, thirty-two top 5s, and 45 top 10s. Barring some sort of incredible setback, expect the Lowes Chevy to be pulling into Victory Lane several times this season. And just for a little added bonus, here's my prediction on how the 2013 final standings will look: 1. Danica Patrick (Sorry guys, but this isn't Hollywood!) 1. Dale Earnhardt, Jr. 2. Matt Kenseth 3. Jimmie Johnson 4. Carl Edwards 5. Brad Keselowski 6. Jeff Gordon 7. Kyle Busch 8. Kevin Harvick 9. Denny Hamlin 10. Clint Bowyer 11. Tony Stewart 12. Joey Logano Also, your 2013 Daytona 500 Champion will be… Mr. Kyle Busch.
