Safe driving with talking cars

As the Japanese version of a Honda Accord pulls up to a blind intersection, the navigation screen flashes the urgent message "Caution: Oncoming Vehicle!" A moment later, a motorbike whizzes past, its electronically transmitted warning having potentially saved it from a collision with the car.
The demonstration at Honda's test center outside Tokyo previews what is shaping up as the next phase of automotive safety: vehicles that talk to each other and the highway system itself. They silently send or receive warnings from other cars in close proximity. Or they pass information back and forth to sensors along the roadway that become part of a real-time database. They tell of their approach to an intersection, warn about hazards ahead or keep an inattentive driver from running a red light, all with the goal of preventing accidents.
Around the world, major automakers from General Motors to BMW see the idea of a transportation system that can communicate as a major safety breakthrough. "It does seem like it's straight out of a science-fiction movie," says Robert Strassburger, vice president of vehicle safety for the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers. "But it's happening already." Seat belts require people to buckle up. Air bags work only after the crash. Only so-called intelligent transportation systems can prevent an accident from happening in the first place. They could be especially valuable in stopping crashes at intersections or when vehicles swerve off the road. Those kinds of accidents accounted for about half of the 42,636 U.S. highways deaths in 2004.
Intelligent transportation also offers a lucrative side benefit: the sharing of information that could ease traffic congestion, which wasted an estimated 2.3 billion gallons of gasoline in 2003, according to a Texas Transportation Institute estimate. Traffic jam data could be gathered from the electronic messages of cars themselves, not just from sensors in roadways. Excitement revs up.
In the U.S., government agencies working on these systems hope to reach a decision by 2008 on the feasibility of developing a nationwide intelligent-transportation system network. If it gets the nod, the first working system could be in place by 2011, says Neil Schuster, CEO of the ITS America, a group devoted to the advancement of intelligent transportation systems. On Tuesday, Motorola announced at ITS America's convention in San Francisco that it signed its first contract with the Michigan Department of Transportation to deploy a test system that connects vehicles to the roadside and to one another. Trials have started in the Detroit suburb of Southfield. "We are picking a lot of the technological concepts on the drawing board now to put them into test conditions," says Motorola spokeswoman Sue Frederick.
Japanese automaker Nissan says it expects up to 10,000 motorists to participate in a test of an intelligent-transportation system starting next year in a region south of Tokyo. Cars are already being built with many of the devices that can be adapted to make them chatty. For instance, luxury cars can come equipped with more than two dozen computers that keep track of everything from the outside temperature to whether the headlights are on. When Greg Larson, manager of the California Department of Transportation's intelligent-vehicle program, asked automakers what information cars track by computer nowadays, he says he received a list three pages long. If that information can be communicated to other vehicles, motorists will have a more complete picture of road conditions. "If you had cars talking to each other, it would tell people three, four or five cars back" that traffic has stopped ahead, says John Mendel, a senior vice president in Honda's American operation.
Short-distance wireless systems, which would likely be at the heart of an intelligent-transportation network, are also starting to show up. They are used by some toll road and bridge operators so that drivers can roll through toll booths without stopping to pay. Transmitters in cars wirelessly record the vehicles' passage so drivers can be billed by mail. GM, for its part, thinks it can develop vehicle-to-vehicle systems faster than its competitors because 4 million of its cars already sport the On Star communications system, which puts drivers in touch with an operator at the push of a button. GM is demonstrating a car this week that can warn its driver when other cars are in its blind spot. It also can automatically illuminate the brake lamps to warn tailgaters.
Experts say that's just the start. Cars could detect other vehicles not heeding a red light. If a car slips on ice, intelligent systems could not only inform other drivers but send a notice through the receivers alongside the highways to road crews that salt or sand is needed. Such systems could even be programmed to stop cars before an accident occurs - without driver involvement. "One of these days, you could have cars that refuse to crash or refuse to run off the road," says Randy Iwasaki, chief deputy director of California's Transportation Department. Reaching that goal will require working out a few thorny issues still in the program's path: •Compatibility.
Motorola is trying figure out the best technology to send messages. In demonstrations this week, the company is showing how information can be passed in different ways. For instance, one method would allow cars to stay in touch with the network longer as they drive but another holds the promise of less radio interference. Navteq, a private firm that provides mapping data for automotive navigation systems, is involved in trials using a combination of maps and GPS.
•Privacy. If a car can communicate with stations along its path, it's divulging its driver's travel patterns. It could raise issues of whether government could violate privacy, because it would have a much easier time tracking individual cars. There's also concern about whether hackers could tamper with or draw personal data from the system.
•Control. The biggest gains in an intelligent system come from crash prevention. But how far should automakers go in taking control of a car? Even though cars could be brought to a full stop automatically if a hazard is detected, "We don't intend to take control of the car away from the driver," says Tom Baloga, general manager of safety for BMW North America. Likewise, Nissan fears drivers could become complacent if they believe their cars will automatically extract them from danger. "We don't want people to be lazy," says Shotaro Ogawa, assistant manager of Nissan's product and technology group. "We don't want to make anything automatic." Japan takes the lead intelligent systems undergo a major test next year in Japan's Kanagawa Prefecture, the region where the big industrial city of Yokohama is situated. Working with automakers, the government will install a series of posts around the area that communicate with electronic transponders on cars, Ogawa says. The transponders are used to advise drivers of oncoming traffic at intersections and warn them to slow down when they enter school zones. The real-time system will provide traffic jam data at a level of detail that never could be achieved before, Ogawa says. Other Japanese automakers are intent on making their intelligent-transportation systems work as well.
At Honda's test facility, technicians showed not only how the transponders can prevent crashes at blind intersections, but also how they can warn of a stopped car ahead, to prevent rear-end accidents. Honda also is looking at ideas such as seats that could monitor a driver's pulse rate in an accident and relay the information via the transponder to rescuers, says executive chief engineer Akihiro Kubo.
Ideas like that may seem far-fetched, but those in the industry say just wait. "We are now at the dawn of a new era of auto electronics - better, safer, more fun to drive," says Honda spokesman Kurt Antonius. "All these systems are coming into play and will be integrated with each other."

Eddie Guerrero passes awayNov. 13, 2005
WWE is deeply saddened by the news that Eddie Guerrero has passed away. He was found dead Sunday morning in his hotel room in Minneapolis. Eddie is survived by his wife Vickie and daughters Shaul, 14, Sherilyn, 9, and Kaylie Marie, 3.

The cause of death is unknown at this time. An autopsy will be performed in Minneapolis on Monday, and Eddie's body will then be flown to Phoenix. Funeral arrangements are set for Wednesday in Scottsdale, Arizona.







The storied career of Eddie Guerrero
Eddie Guerrero was born into Mexico’s first family of professional wrestling in 1967. The son of the legendary Gory Guerrero, it was only natural that Eddie, along with his three older brothers, would pursue a career in sports-entertainment. With wrestling flowing through his veins, Eddie began his in-ring training at a very young age. In fact, Guerrero had mastered the dropkick by his third birthday.

Eddie moved from his family’s backyard ring to the professional circuit in 1987 when he debuted as “Mascara Magica” or “Magic Mask” in Mexico. After teaming with his brothers, Guerrero broke out on his own, crafting his skills in the lucha libre world. Eddie then moved on to Japan, wrestling as Black Tiger. It was there that Guerrero first met good friend Chris Benoit.

After moving back to Mexico full time, Eddie began teaming with El Hijo del Santo, who was the son of Gory Guerrero’s long-time associate El Santo. Eddie and Santo eventually broke up, with Eddie forming a duo with Art Barr. The pair would feud with Santo in one of the most heated rivalries in lucha libre history, which culminated in Guerrero and Barr losing a hair vs. mask match to Santo and Octagon in November 1994.

Eddie then moved on to ECW, where he gained his first full exposure in the United States. Not long after his ECW debut, Guerrero defeated 2 Cold Scorpio for the ECW Television Championship, a title he held twice before moving to WCW. Guerrero's ECW stay will always be remembered for the amazing match he had with Dean Malenko before leaving the promotion. After the match, which many consider to be one of the greatest ECW matches ever, the crowd showed their appreciation for Guerrero by giving him a standing ovation.

Guerrero spent four years competing in WCW. While there, he was a part of numerous memorable rivalries with the likes of Booker T, Rey Mysterio, Dean Malenko, Ric Flair and nephew Chavo.

On Dec. 29, 1996, Guerrero defeated Diamond Dallas Page in the finals of a tournament to crown a new United States Champion. He also went on to capture the Cruiserweight Championship on two separate occasions before leaving WCW.

On Jan. 31, 2000, four new faces showed up on Monday Night RAW and shocked the sports-entertainment world. They were former WCW wrestlers Benoit, Malenko, Perry Saturn and Eddie Guerrero – The Radicalz. The faction immediately got involved in a match between the New Age Outlaws and Al Snow & Steve Blackman, marking the beginning of Guerrero’s amazing WWE career.

Over the next five years, Eddie Guerrero overcame many obstacles to reach the top. In his first WWE match against the Outlaws, Eddie suffered a dislocated elbow, but returned to action in a short time. On April 3, 2000, he claimed his first piece of WWE gold, defeating Chris Jericho to win the European Championship. He would go on to win that championship one more time in 2001.

After The Radicalz went their separate ways, Eddie began a relationship with his “Mamacita,” Chyna. In fact, it was Chyna that Eddie defeated in September 2000 to claim the Intercontinental Championship. After their split, Eddie’s demons got the best of him. He subsequently took time off from the ring in 2001 to deal with his personal issues.

Upon his return in 2002, Eddie’s career skyrocketed to new heights. He won the Intercontinental Championship again in May 2002, this time from Rob Van Dam. Eventually, Eddie moved to SmackDown where he teamed with nephew Chavo to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship. He would win that championship three more times, as well as the United States Championship, but his greatest moment came in February 2004.

On Feb. 15, 2004 in San Francisco, Guerrero defeated Brock Lesnar at No Way Out to become WWE Champion. He had reached the pinnacle of the industry, and went on to headline WrestleMania XX against Kurt Angle. No one will ever forget the scene at the end of the show, when Eddie joined long-time friend Benoit in the ring to celebrate moments after Benoit won the World Heavyweight Championship.

Eddie later formed an alliance with another old friend, Rey Mysterio, and the duo would win the WWE Tag Team Championship in early 2005. This was Eddie’s final run as a champion, as the duo split up after WrestleMania 21 and began a bitter rivalry, highlighted by numerous breath-taking matches.

At No Mercy on Oct. 9, 2005, Eddie’s 38th birthday, Eddie squared off against a new amigo, Batista. He was unable to win the World Heavyweight Championship from the Animal, but their friendship was cemented when Batista led the crowd in singing Happy Birthday to Latino Heat afterwards. A little more than one month later, Guerrero competed in his final televised match on the Nov. 11 edition of Friday Night SmackDown where he defeated Mr. Kennedy.

Knowledge Base Article: Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Support in Windows XP

Editor's Note: Past articles by members of the online community are archived for your use. The information may become outdated as technology changes. For the most current information, please search the Web site or post a question in the newsgroups.

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) technology lets you easily connect peripheral devices such as digital cameras, scanners, or mice to your computer. USB is designed to work with all sorts of devices, and to support hot plugging and Plug and Play. So you can connect your camera, for example, to the PC and start downloading pictures, without configuring software or rebooting.
The original USB standard offered great advantages over earlier connection technologies and its popularity spread. However, the version of USB we use most today, version 1.1, was designed with a maximum data transfer rate of 12 megabits per second (Mbps). That's speedy enough for a keyboard, mouse, and maybe a CD-ROM drive, but it's peanuts when you're working with digital video or high-speed external hard drives.
Higher speed technologies were starting to gain on USB's popularity. The most common technology for transferring digital video to a home PC has been the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 1394 standard. Also known as FireWire, it beats the socks off USB 1.1 with a 400 Mbps data transfer rate, which is why most digital video cameras come with IEEE 1394 (FireWire) ports, not USB.
But now there's a new version of USB, USB 2.0, with a hefty 480 Mbps data transfer rate, making it faster than IEEE 1394 (FireWire), and earning it the nickname Hi-Speed USB. USB devices have always operated at either 12 Mbps (for full-speed devices) or a mere 1.5 Mbps (for devices with lower bandwidth needs). USB 2.0 lets you use more of those devices at once and also adds a new speed, which can use the entire 480 Mbps bandwidth that USB 2.0 provides for Hi-Speed devices. Such high speeds are critical in bandwidth-hungry applications like mass storage devices, although not all devices are capable of running at 480 Mbps. For example, your USB 2.0 mouse is still a low speed device and is probably running at only 1 Mbps, but your USB 2.0 Hi-Speed CD-RW can take advantage of the new USB 2.0 high speeds and burn CDs much faster.
Compatibility with USB 1.1
Microsoft and the others who created USB 2.0 didn't leave USB 1.1 folks in the dust. USB 2.0 is fully compatible with USB 1.1 devices. The older devices work with the new bus, and vice versa.
However, keep in mind that you can't connect a Hi-Speed USB device to a USB 1.1 controller and expect it to run faster. Your computer will only run as fast as the slowest link in the chain.
In other words, all the USB 2.0 hubs in the world won't help my old laptop computer, which has built-in USB 1.1 controllers. I'll have to add a PC Card-based USB 2.0 controller, or buy a new laptop that has a USB 2.0 controller built in. Hi-Speed USB 2.0 devices will work fine when they're plugged into an older USB 1.1 controller—but they'll run at only 12 Mbps, instead of the full 480 Mbps.
The Hi Speed USB backward-compatibility means that I can start looking for new USB 2.0 devices now, even though not all of my computers have USB 2.0 capability. If you've been frequenting your local computer store, you've probably noticed USB 2.0 devices already. A number of manufacturers have USB 2.0 PCI controller cards for desktop PCs available for less than $50. PC cards for laptop USB 2.0 support are available for less than $80. And high-quality USB 2.0-compatible cables have been around for months. USB 2.0 shouldn't require you to buy new USB cables, unless you have really cheap cables that don't work well with USB 1.1, either. Certified USB 2.0 cables are available, but they're usually just high-quality USB 1.1 cables.
I can't tell you how often I've had to wait while my MP3 player downloaded a few megabytes of information at slow USB 1.1 speeds, and how much nicer it will be to use a fast USB 2.0 connection instead. I'm just waiting for a USB 2.0-compliant MP3 player to hit the market, because while my USB 1.1 player will run just fine on my new USB 2.0 hub, it can't run any faster.

USB 2.0 Device Driver Support
Some manufacturers now sell new PCs and laptops with support for USB 2.0 built in. If you want to add USB 2.0 to your computer, you must buy a USB 2.0 controller card and install it. For a desktop computer, this involves opening the case for access to your computer's PCI slots. For a laptop, you plug in the card whenever you want to connect a new Hi-Speed USB device. Most manufacturers provide installation and setup guides. Here is an example from Adaptec.
The Windows Catalog lists several USB 2.0 controller cards that are compatible with Windows XP.
Drivers for USB 2.0 devices in Windows XP became available on Windows Update in January and is also available through Microsoft Update. Windows XP Home Edition and Windows XP Professional are both fully USB 2.0-compliant with the correct drivers. Again, check the Windows Catalog before you buy a new USB 2.0 device to make sure it's compatible with Windows XP.
After you've installed your new USB 2.0 controller and devices, connect to the Internet and open Microsoft Update. Make sure that your new hardware is plugged in and operating (at least at low speed). If Windows XP recognizes your USB 2.0 hardware, it will offer you the chance to download the new USB 2.0 drivers. You can also manually download the driver by following the steps in Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Support in Windows XP.

Troubleshooting USB 2.0 Device Drivers
The Microsoft USB 2.0 driver may not be listed as an available update if third-party USB 2.0 drivers are installed on your computer. You may have to remove the third-party USB 2.0 drivers, and then install the Microsoft USB 2.0 driver from the Microsoft Update Web site.
The USB 2.0 drivers for Windows XP that are on Microsoft Update today only recognize devices using the NEC USB 2.0 EHCI controller chipset. The industry specification for Hi-Speed USB is called the Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI ). That doesn't mean you have to buy an NEC-brand controller. The NEC chipset is fairly ubiquitous in the USB 2.0 world. That chipset is also the first one to be certified by the independent USB 2.0 testing body. Although the USB 2.0 drivers currently available on Microsoft Update only support the NEC controller, there should be an update soon that supports all EHCI-compliant controllers.
If you've made sure that everything on your computer is USB 2.0-compliant, and you're still getting low-speed results, you may not have the right drivers. Symptoms in Windows XP can include error messages such as “The Generic USB Hub is a HI-SPEED USB device and will function at reduced speed when plugged into a non-HI-SPEED port,” or “A HI-SPEED USB device is plugged into a non-HI-SPEED USB hub.” You may also see your high-speed controller card tagged with a yellow exclamation icon in Device Manager. The problem is that although you have a Hi-Speed hub or controller, Windows XP doesn't recognize it. (See the Knowledge Base article, Universal Serial Bus 2.0 Support in Windows XP for more detailed information).
Pay a visit to Microsoft Update and you'll be running at USB 2.0 speeds in no time.

Windows XP USB Driver Architecture
The original USB 1.1 driver in Windows XP was designed with USB 2.0 in mind, so adding USB 2.0 support didn't quite require Microsoft to start from scratch. The marvel of the USB architecture in Windows XP occurs at the Host Controller Driver: It is supported by mini-ports that each implements a specific type of USB support.
For those with knowledge of driver development, it's interesting to know that Windows XP originally included two mini-ports, Usbuhci.sys and Usbohci.sys. Adding USB 2.0 support requires a new mini-port, Usbehci.sys. USB 2.0 support updates Usbport.sys, Usbhub.sys, and other key USB support drivers. Windows XP also uses a host controller-specific coinstaller, Hccoin.dll, which provides for interaction between the USB 2.0 controller and companion host controllers. Windows 2000 wasn't so lucky: Microsoft built an entire new USB 2.0 device driver stack that operates in parallel with the old USB stack.
If you have a computer running Windows 98, you can get USB 2.0 drivers from third-party vendors like Adaptec, NEC, and Orange Micro. The vendors all sell USB 2.0 controllers, including drivers, which are compatible with Windows 98.
You can learn more about the hardware details behind USB 2.0 support in Windows XP in the USB 2.0 and Windows paper on the Windows Platform Development site.

Shopping for USB 2.0 Devices
Whenever you go shopping for a new Hi-Speed USB device, look for the official Hi-Speed USB logo, which can be seen on the USB Web site. (More details on USB 2.0 and other USB news can also be found there). Devices that don't display this logo aren't certified as compatible with the USB 2.0 specification, and may not work properly, or may cause problems with your other USB devices. Of course, you should also keep an eye out for the “Designed for Windows XP” logo to ensure that the device will be compatible with Windows XP.

Future Developments in USB 2.0
The USB 2.0 specification also describes a “mini USB-B” connector, which is a miniaturized connector port. This tiny port will make high-speed USB more acceptable to manufacturers of consumer electronics devices like MP3 players, digital cameras, digital camcorders, and other handheld devices without a lot of real estate for large plugs. Today, manufacturers of smaller devices rely on proprietary cables, so the mini USB-B connector should bring some standardization to the marketplace.

USB 2.0: Should You Care?
USB 2.0 makes attaching USB hard drives to your computer infinitely more rewarding. I have a USB 1.1-compatible hard drive and it's no treat waiting for data to crawl to and from that thing. So getting a USB 2.0 hard drive is high on my list of things to do.
Other USB 2.0 devices available now include cameras, scanners, hubs, IDE adapters that let you connect a regular hard drive to USB, and more. Expect to see printers and camcorders hitting the market in the next few months.
The bottom line? The original USB helped fully realize the promise of hot plugging and Plug and Play peripheral devices. USB 2.0 expands on that promise by offering high-speed data transfer. Windows XP is right there with USB 2.0 support to help make it all possible.


Thats all for now folks!

Myore - India's First WiFi City

Mysore: India's first WiFi city
Bangalorelace is the high tech city in India but it is its neighboring city Mysore which became the first WiFi city in India. A company called WiFiyNet formed by Shankar Prasad, Srikanth V Rao and G Saravanan has setup hotspots in Mysore covering the complete city and a few villages near by. It costs INR 750 per month and unlimited data transfer. Sounds great. Hope Bangalore catches up with Mysore on this one.
Mysore is one up on BangaloreR Raghavendra[ Tuesday, August 16, 2005 11:08:05 pmTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]
BANGALORE: Don't let the oldworld charm of Mysore fool you: It has raced past hi-tech Bangalore, by going completely wireless (Wi-Fi), an achievement still beyond Bangalore. This means if you are on Kalidasa Road at Vontikoppal in Mysore, you can check your emails on your laptop. Wi-Fi, or wireless fidelity, is freedom: it allows you to connect to the internet from a couch in your home or a room in a hotel or a conference room at work — without wires. Mysore's distinction is not well known. Even participants in a TV quiz show could not answer correctly when asked which was India's first Wi-Fi enabled city. This 'dream' became a reality due to three entrepreneurs. The story goes that three men — Shankar Prasad, Srikanth V Rao and G Saravanan — having worked for some of the most well-known software companies, decided to help Mysoreans connect better. They started a company called WiFiyNet with their own investment. The initiative was clickstarted in August 2004 by putting up the first access point (also known as hot spot) in Jayalakshmipuram, an upmarket area in Mysore
Today, the city has three access points. And with this 2.4 GHz (frequency of transmission) Wi-Fi connectivity, Mysore became a true hot spot. "By paying Rs 750 a month, irrespective of the kind of data download, internet is available round the clock. Currently, we provide 128-kbps speeds. Our technology is 54-mbps-enabled; hence, we can even take it to the extent of providing IP television," says Prasad. These entrepreneurs have taken Wi-Fi connectivity right up to Kushalnagar, a small town en route to Madikeri, about 100 km from Mysore. Result: the next time you are travelling between Mysore and Kushalnagar, you can be connected to your workplace! They have received tremendous support from the Karnataka IT department, which is keen on replicating the Wi-Fi revolution in other small towns. Wired anyone?

Arnold Schwarzenegger

BRIEF BIO
Birthname: Arnold Alios Schwarzenegger
Nickname: Arnie, The Austrian Oak
Birthday: July 30, 1947
Birthplace: Graz, Austria
Height: 6'2"
Arnold's parents were Aurelia and Gustav Schwarzenegger, and his brother was Meinhard. Meinhard was a star soccer player and was favored by his strict father, Gustav. Instead of trying to please his father with soccer, when Arnold was 13 he quit the team and began going to the gym. He became very dedicated and eventually dropped out of school and stopped attending church. Bodybuilding was his top priority. In 1965 when Arnold turned 18, he entered the Austrian Army for mandatory service. While in service, the Junior Mr. Europe bodybuilding competition was to be held in Stuttgart, Germany. He would not have received permission to leave, so he snuck out and competed. He was first place, but was caught upon returning to camp and was put in jail for seven days. In 1966, Arnold was invited to Munich to train at the Putzinger gym. This was when he left the junior division and started competing professionally. In the same year he took second in the Mr. Universe competition, won The Best Built Man in Europe, and won the International Power Lifting Championship. In 1967, Arnold flew to London to compete in the Mr. Universe contest again. This time Arnold took first place and at the age of 20 became the youngest Mr. Universe ever. In 1968, he moved to America where he earned a business degree at the University of Wisconsin. Not only did Arnold compete in bodybuilding competitions, but two years after coming to America he opted to start an acting career, which was a childhood dream. He went on to win many bodybuilding titles and star in many hit movies. Arnold will always be the best bodybuilder of all time.

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER


















ARNOLD PUMPING IRON















SOME ARNOLD QUOTES
"My body is like breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't think about it, I just have it."
"Having a pump is like having sex. I train two, sometimes, three times a day. Each time I get a pump. It's great. I feel like I'm cuming all day..."
"The unique thing about bodybuilding is that when I compete it is just me on a stage alone. There is no field, no bat, no ball, no skis, no skates. All other athletes have to use equipment, like a football. But I don't use anything in competition except myself. It's just me up there. Me alone. No coach. No nothing."
"The best activities for your health are pumping and humping."
"As a kid I always idolized the winning athletes. It is one thing to idolize heroes. It is quite another to visualize yourself in their place. When I saw great people. I said to myself: 'I can be there.'"
"It's simple, if it jiggles, it's fat."
"Milk is for babies. When you grow up you have to drink beer."
"The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent."
Experiencing this pain in my muscles and aching and going on and on is my challenge. The last three or four reps is what makes the muscles grow. This area of pain divides a champion from someone who is not a champion. That's what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they'll go through the pain no matter what happens. I have no fear of fainting. I do squats until I fall over and pass out. So what? It's not going to kill me. I wake up five minutes later and I'm OK. A lot of other athletes are afraid of this. So they don't pass out. They don't go on."
"Training gives us an outlet for suppressed energies created by stress and thus tones the spirit just as exercise conditions the body."
