Tim Miles Press Conference Quotes
Tim Miles Press Conference
Hendricks Training Complex
Saturday, March 24, 2012
Tom Osborne
Opening Statement
"I just want to thank you all for coming. I know for some of you it was fairly short notice and Sipple normally doesn't work on Saturdays, but we're glad that he is here. Good to see you guys. I want to start just by thanking a few people. Marc Boehm has been very helpful in this whole process, Pat Logsdon did some good things with memorandum and understand and so on, she is now a full-fledged lawyer with no official rankings and did a good job. Chris Anderson and Keith Mann of course set this up and I want to thank them. I also want to thank a guy that has been an awful good friend and that is Doc Sadler. Doc called this morning and has been tremendous through this whole process and I know that he will give Tim whatever advice or support that he can use. It is kind of unusual to find a person who will go out of their way in that fashion. I also want to thank Tim and Kari and Ava and Gabriel for their trust and confidence in the Nebraska Athletic Department because when you have a good job, have a good situation and you're willing to come to a new place, it takes a certain amount of trust and takes a lot of confidence. They certainly have displayed that and we're very grateful for that. For those of you in the press, I'm kind of sorry about the process. I know it would be nice if we gave you a play-by-play and talked to you about who we saw and what they said, but as you know we really can't do that because we're dealing with people's lives and sometimes if you're in a good position and you interview you can lose your job or get your recruiting class hurt. We have just done it the best way we know how and we've tried to be very respectful of everybody who has been involved in the process and want to make sure you're aware of that."
"Tim Miles was the only person we offered the job to. We don't engage in semantics or word games. Tim was very impressive in the interview we had with him. I really liked the fact that he seemed to have a good vision, seemed to have a good plan, understood very well what it takes to recruit in situations like Nebraska and of course he has a great track record. He has built a program at the NAIA level, Division II level, a Division II school that went to Division I and of course a Division I program at Colorado State. He has been very successful every step of the way and also has in almost every case taken over a program that was very well flat on its back. I am not implying that this one is that way, I think there are some tools to work with here, I think we have a great deal of potential and have some fine players here, but he has done some remarkable things at some situations that were very difficult. We took that into account. Also, we really liked his basketball philosophy. The other thing that was important was hearing from some people who understand Nebraska and care about this place and also knew Tim quite well. Craig Bohl worked with Tim for many years at North Dakota State and Terry Pettit who was the volleyball coach here for many years live in Fort Collins is a good friend of Tim's, Bill Doleman is with the Mountain West Network and lastly Ndamukong Suh called and he said you must hire Tim. When Ndamukong calls I always listen and if I don't listen he'll break my neck. The most interesting call I had was from a guy whose son had been recruited by Tim and many other coaches. He told me Tim had really stood out in the recruiting process. He advised his son not to go to Colorado State not because he didn't like Tim, but because he didn't think Tim would be able to stay there very long, that he was a guy who had all the ingredients of being a great coach. This guy had no axe to grind, he wasn't from Nebraska, and he was from another state. I thought it was somewhat telling that somebody would take the time to make that kind of a call simply out of respect for a coach where his son was not even attending school. That wasn't certainly the deciding factor, but was part of the process. As you all know, the Mountain West Conference probably is not a household word here, but their RPI this year was significant, much better than the ACC, Pac-12. Tim's team played a very difficult schedule, supposedly the fourth or fifth strongest in the country and did very well, went to Stanford, went to Duke and he also had a very outstanding record with academics and that is very important to us. As you know the RPI goes to 930 in two years, so we looked at that very carefully also. Tim is a quality person, does things the right way, excellent character, great family. We're really pleased that he would accept this job. I am going to introduce the person you came to hear, not me, you've heard me a lot of times, so Tim, the floor is yours and thank you so much for being here, we're looking forward to having you."
Tim Miles
Opening Statement
"Thank you Dr. Osborne, I am thrilled to be the basketball coach at Nebraska. I want to start just with some recognition of people who are here. First, my wife Kari, my son Gabriel, my daughter Ava, they put up with all the stuff nobody wants to hear about. Change is hard for families, I just want to thank them for being here, thank them for supporting me through this move and supporting us because it will be an exciting change. My mom and dad are here, Tip and Alice Miles, let's hear it for them. They are from Doland, S.D. and Doland is in the northeast part of South Dakota and it is world-class pheasant hunting just like you have here. If you can ever meander up there, it'll be worth it. Some of my siblings, my brother Kevin and my sister Karen are here, Karen's daughter Erin is here. My brother Paul and my sister Kelly are not here. My sister Kelly actually went to school at Lincoln, grad school for speech therapy awhile back. I am the quiet one in the family. If you go talk to them it's going to cost you a lot more time to talk to them then it will to talk to me. I appreciate them being here."
"I appreciate Dr. Tom Osborne for having the faith and confidence in me to do this. I want to come through for him. When Dr. Tom Osborne bets on you, you want to come through for him. I grew up in Big Ten country, watching Nebraska football, I'll still watch Nebraska football. He is the kind of person; I think he said to me one time that he has a lot of personal equity in the basketball arena, in Haymarket Arena. It occurred to me that he has a lot of personal equity in the state of Nebraska, the University of Nebraska and especially this athletic department. That means a lot to me. His right hand man Marc Boehm has been a great guy to get to know. I am excited about where we're trying to go."
"I promised I wouldn't cry, so if I cry, I'm a little Dick Vermeil-ish, so if I start doing that, just bear with me. But I said goodbye to a group of guys last night that are special. As a basketball coach you're supposed to be a leader, and last night I didn't feel like much of a leader. You're telling those guys you're going to leave them and it's hard to do. I promise you this, Colorado State is much better equipped than they were in 2007 on March 22 when I took over that job to be successful. That team is going to be terrific next year and that program is on the right foot. Those guys earned their way into the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team and it was hard to leave them, but I did. I did and I am excited about this challenge. There are only so many times you get that crack in my eyes. I'm not the brightest bulb in Las Vegas, I graduated number seven in my high school class, there were 13 of us, it was an especially good class too. For a guy like me with no pedigree, who is this guy? He coached at Mayville State, Northern State; he was a coach at Southwest Minnesota State and North Dakota State. Finally NDSU starts resonating with people, oh yeah, they used to be really good in football, well they still are, Craig Bohl, that guy can coach. He knows what he is doing, I think the proof is in the pudding, he's wearing a ring, and we're not. You look at those schools and you don't know who this guy is. I promise you this, you give us a chance, Husker fans you give us a chance and we're going to come through for you. We've exceed expectations everywhere we've been and I intend to continue to do the same. I know what we're dealing with; we're dealing with the elite basketball conference in the country right now, the Big Ten. With that I just want to take any questions.
On his recruiting plan in an elite conference
"Recruiting is a great idea, I always have found that it helps. What do they always say? It's not about the x's and the o's it's about the Jimmy's and the Joe's. That's true. First of all, I think what you start with is you talk about a philosophical idea of where you're going. I think you have to recruit the Big Ten footprint, I think you can recruit the old Big 12 North region, and then we have to be able to go anywhere to pull anybody. This job is not unlike the Colorado State job relatively in terms of not a high volume of players in your immediate region. After you look at where you're going to go geographically, I think you have to look at how you're going to put together a staff. This is the Big Ten Conference; I'm going to need guys who know how the Big Ten works. I have some decisions to make in that way, that never ends. You're the head coach you have to make those decisions. We're going to put together a staff that can do this. I also want to talk about the commitment of Nebraska, the University of Nebraska for men's basketball. Let's just walk around this place; this is an elite practice facility anywhere in the country. It is better than a lot of NBA practice facilities. We're putting up a new arena downtown. Progress like that; when you show recruits the value of that progress, it adds an amazing difference. Just facilities, bricks and mortar are not enough, that's big, but it's not enough. I've talked at great length, and we've talked about Pat going through and now she is a lawyer. We listened to so much yesterday on speakerphone I would just make up stuff, I'd have to go call my wife, I was just trying to get out of there. I didn't mean to misrepresent, but you can only handle so much. I though Dr. Osborne, I thought he was just going to click them off. But when you talk about their commitment and we talk a lot about this, because Colorado State bent over backwards. Their administration, Tony Frank and Jack Graham, you name it, whether it be salary or budget increases, they would do anything if I'd stay and I appreciated that, but when we were talking about commitment when I talked about how we're going to travel as a team, talk about the ability of a coach to recruit in-season, so whatever it may be. There was not one hurdle; there was not one obstacle in this. I think it is the perfect time to be the Nebraska basketball coach. We have amazing facilities in place, we have an elite conference and we have absolutely no obstacles when it comes to budgetary matters of how I can do my job the best way that I can."
On if the state of Nebraska will be a pipeline for this team
"I don't know if I'd call it a pipeline, but I am going to recruit Nebraska and I am going to recruit our immediate region. If you're going to win, you have to win your locker room first. If you don't win the locker room, you're not going to win many games. If those guys in the locker room aren't on board, if they're not bleeding red, if they're not what we're all about, if they don't have a commitment when they're walking through campus and they see their other classmates in college and that kind of thing, if they're not tied into that, if they're not invested, then we have a problem. I want guys that are invested in the University of Nebraska. I want guys that can compete in the championship level of the Big Ten, that can get us in the NCAA Tournament. We have to win our locker room first. That has to happen. If I'm from Nebraska, if I'm over there 45 miles to the east and I'm going to school, I'd love playing at this place. If I'm in town here, if I'm in the western plains in Ainsworth or up in Fremont, wherever it might be, this is the place I'd want to be. If those guys are good enough, they're going to be here."
On what he learned about the job before this process being int eh state recruiting
"I think it's a great job. Jack Graham, the athletic Director at Colorado State, he brought it up the other day, he said that intensity of interest at Colorado State needs to improve. The intensity of interest of our fans, we need to foster and nurture and develop that. Well I don't think that we need to foster and nurture and develop any of that here. This is a fan base that is into it, this is a fan base that is supportive in every way, shape and form. That is the one thing I learned about this job. When you've got a fan base like that and you've got University commitment like this and you have league affiliation like you do, now you have facilities, you have a great job. I think it is a great opportunity."
On his style of play
"People ask me, what's your style of play? Are you going to play fast or slow? We know that the Big Ten, tempo-wise is a slower conference. The North Central Conference that I was in Division II is a slower conference too. We want to play winning basketball, if that means we're going to run it down the floor, we'll run it down the floor. If that means, we're going to work the shot clock to two, we'll work the shot clock to two. I'm a motion defense guy; I'm a man-to-man defense guy, which is not going away."
On how long coaching in the Big Ten has been a dream of his
"I was ten years old and coaching the Super Jocks at Doland High for my fifth-grade team, probably then, probably about that time. I don't know what else you wish for. I wanted to be a college basketball coach and this is one of the finest institutions and athletic departments in the country, in the premier league in the country."
On if he still would have been interested if it was a Big 12 school
"I don't know, I don't know that. That is a good question."
On what he knows about the players who are returning to Nebraska
"I'm going to get to know them. we're going to sit down and meet individually and get to know each other on a one-to-one basis. First of all, Doc Sadler is a great guy. You know this, I am not going to replace Doc Sadler's personality, his way with people, his way with his players. I can't be Doc, I'm not going to try to be Doc because Doc is great and he is great in his own right. You are not going to find a guy who handled a tough situation better than Doc Sadler. I'm not going to try to walk down that path, because I can't match that. I can be me and I can help us build a winning basketball program my way, just like Doc was trying to do his way, so I can show these guys how they're going to fit in with that. We'll watch a lot of film together; we'll talk a lot together. The rules are going in now we here we'll work with those guys in the spring and summer. I think that is a huge advantage for a new coach. It was a real disadvantage in the old days. I've done this a few times, small college, moving up, and you're access to your players, you're ability to connect with them and to allow them to trust you. They don't trust me, they don't know me and we just need to get to know each other and figure out how we can help each other out."
On if he knows if any of his assistant coaches from Colorado State will come to Nebraska
"I haven't made any decisions of any kind on that. I need to get away. This has been a whirlwind just getting the job and staffing is the next biggest thing to me. That is not something you rush into. Well I'm always hopeful one of my assistants can get the head coaching job (at CSU), you're always hopeful of that. I think we'll want to see how that shakes out a little bit too. But we're going to build a staff that can do it right."
On if he has talked to Doc yet
"I had the chance to talk to him last night, I called him up. Doc is good; it was a conversation between us. He was a great guy, he said Nebraska is a great school, it's a great league. We talked about the league, we agreed that maybe we'd go have dinner and spend more time together. I just wanted to reach out to him and recognize Doc, I appreciate you and watching the way you handled it, that's just first-class. That's Doc, he was just like all shucks about it, but he is a great man, he's a good man. It's hard to replace a guy like that. College basketball, when you talk upward mobility and jobs, it's who you replace often times. He's a hard guy to follow up."
On who his mentors are in this business
"I was an assistant for Bob Olson for six years and he couldn't wait to get rid of me. He was like, would you shut up and go find out that hard way? Let me just tell you one thing that I think is cool and unique. Paul Kowalczyk who hired me at Colorado State was a remarkable man, all these guys who have hired me and I've dealt with are good. It's not very often that you get the chance to work with a coach's coach. That is a pretty cool deal. I look forward to getting to know Dr. Osborne and just listen to him philosophically. He reminds me of a guy in Aberdeen, South Dakota, Dr. Jim Kretchman, he was an old football coach and became an athletic director. I worked with him because I was the director of athletic development for four years, raising money while I was the assistant basketball coach, doing the tap dance, selling adds for game programs. There are guys like that who are really important. And then I like to talk to other coaches. They asked me that one time on the Mountain Sports Network, Bill Doleman who is a Nebraska guy and does a great job there, they said who is your mentor? I said losing has been my mentor. When you start out at 28 being a head coach and you take over a program that had been 2-22 and 2-22 before that and you start out 2-9, you figure out in a hurry, this works, that doesn't, you work, you don't. Losing, and I've been beat up plenty, I didn't not take this job for my career record. You take this job because you can build a program right. I believe we can here."
On his specific, immediate or long term goals
"I want to win an NCAA tournament game. That is my goal, let's do it. We can do it here, there is no doubt about it, and it's a matter of time."
On why it will be different for Nebraska this time
"I just think it's timing, everything is timing. I wouldn't be here if we were in the NIT, I wouldn't be this guy. Timing, I think it's the unique nature of Dr. Osborne being the AD, the Big Ten Conference coming in, which I think is the basketball league, I really do, the facilities, the commitment, I just think it's timing. I'm fortunate to have different timing than some of those other guys did."
On how he silences the criticism of him not coaching in a conference like the Big Ten
"I'm Catholic, I live in fear, worry and doubt, I don't silence that, come join me. It's a blast, you never sleep, bags under your eyes, the whole deal. I just say give us a chance, give us a reasonable chance."
On how he expects to get students at the University excited about Nebraska basketball
"I think that is one of your most important demographics. I don't want to say most important, but it is one we'll spend a lot of time on. It is a huge factor to winning basketball games. The last thing you want to do is start quoting a basketball coach on accuracy and that kind of thing, but I'm going to tell you this, I was watching TV one day in a hotel room on the road recruiting. Outside the Lines had a kid on there from Duke who did a study on what comes first, fan support or winning? Successful programs, what do they have first? Do they have winning programs and then the fans come and support them, or do they have this rabid fan base that allows for a home-court advantage. They said it was fan support first. It wasn't winning. You know what, we need to have these people and especially our students, the energy from our students. I don't know what he's going to say (pointing to Tom Osborne), this might get me fired. I'm going to tell you this; I want our students at the game and on their feet the entire time. If an usher tells them to sit down, they can say Coach Miles said I didn't have to. We're going to have to replace some seats for some people who aren't used to standing or whatever we have to do. The students can make a difference in winning. The fans, the energy they provide in games, in the recruiting process, can make a difference in winning. Ndamukong Suh, I asked him, you didn't know we were close friends, did you? He's a great guy. I said, what was it like as a student-athlete coming from out of the area as an African American young guy, what was it like? He said it was awesome, I was taken aback by how generous and nice people were, he didn't expect it. When he came on the recruiting process and the students had signs with his name on it, it was unbelievable. He was done. Well we need that for basketball. We need people to be that in tune. We need those guys and girls and everybody at the games, painted up red, doing the whole thing because they make the difference and we're going to get them really good seats, right? There is the red zone right there. I've handed out schedules in the dining halls, whatever it takes for us to get people engaged and involved, we hand out pizzas, we are going to connect."
On how his relationship with Ndamukong Suh began
"He called me the other night and left a message. We have a mutual friend, so he called me. He heard I was a candidate and he said, hey I want to talk to you about what Nebraska has to offer and I think it's great. You look at a guy like Ndamukong Suh, he stepped up now. He made a gift as a young professional; he's invested in this place and wouldn't have to be. He could go to Hawaii and buy a little place on the cliff there if he wanted to, but he is trying to make this place better, that is pretty cool stuff."
On the importance of potentially having Ronald Coleman on his staff
"I've thought a lot about my staff, I'm just not telling you much about my staff, let's clarify that. He's awesome, have you ever met him? He's a blast. He's a great guy; we just have to work it out. I'm not going to say officially today where we're at with things, but Ron is a great guy. He is a great personality with tremendous Big Ten footprint connections. I think it is important for me to hire the right guys, I'm just not going to give you anything."
On he is knows if any of his former players will be coming to Nebraska
"I would hope that team stays intact. We build it for Colorado State. We built that team to be able to go to the NCAA Tournament and win, not just the first half either, win the whole dang game, but that is a better idea for next year. That team is built for there and those guys are great friends, and I would hope that is seen through for those guys."
On if it is better to assimilate to the style of the Big Ten or be different
"I think it is better to just drag you down. You have no choice. You have to play the way the slowest team wants to play, and you always do. I think the physicality of that league is always something, when I just watched a few of the games, I think we have to improve our physicality. Obviously size is a big deal, some of the size issues are with injuries, so that's not completely accurate too, and I want to give you a glimpse of what I'm working from. You never get an easy shot and you never get an easy look. You have to be great in half-court defense. Those are things we've done before and have been able to do successfully at times."
On when he realized he wanted this job
"Late Thursday I'd say. It really comes down to this, I want to come through for Dr. Osborne, and I want a crack at the Big Ten."
On how much harder it is to leave a great team
"I believe it is a phenomenal opportunity and I believe you don't get very many of them when you have no pedigree. I think the timing is right for Nebraska basketball. I just look at everything falling into place. I read the full-page ad, you don't think that didn't come up and it came up. I thought it was addressed brilliantly and I feel confident that we will have everything we need. I think the timing of Nebraska basketball is more unique than it has ever been because of all the things we've talked about. You can never predict when to go or when to say. Kari says I am ADHD and that is the only reason we do this. I love to build programs, and I feel like it's important to leave a program in better shape than when you got there. Now Kelly (Lydell), you know what we went through those first two years (at Colorado State). I spilled more blood than I care to talk about those first two seasons and it was difficult. As a coach, you feel like your essence is your success of winning basketball games. You're sitting there for 365 days with 30 chances and everybody thinks you're a door knob because it is not going well and that is not fun to go through. We'll have our trials and tribulations here too. At the same time, I just felt like I would not get this opportunity very often. Working for Dr. Tom Osborne, working at this point in time at Nebraska, I thought it was an amazing opportunity."
On any concerns he has with the longevity of Tom Osborne as Athletic Director
"No concern. I know he'll step away when he feels the time is right. I know he wants to see it going down the right path. I know that having a successful men's basketball program means a lot to Tom Osborne. The senior woman's administrator at North Dakota State hired me, Lynn Dorn and then four months later we hired Gene Taylor, who became a great friend of mine. (At Colorado State) Paul Kowalczyk got fired and I feel like Jack Graham and I had a very steady relationship that would flourish had I stayed. If they want to can you, they're going to can you."
On if he's had much of a chance to analyze his returning roster
"Not much. If we sit down in ten days, when is the Final Four, is it coming up? Soon? After that, I'll sit down and give you whatever you want."
On if he plans to still have one or two marquee games out of conference
"First of all, I think we need to be in a position when the program is right, I have the confidence that we can do it right, that we can be an at-large team. That's what you have to do. I'll just look at the numbers. That's what we did at Colorado State. Two years ago, we were 50-35 in terms of RPI and strength of schedule. I usually go with the Jerry Palm numbers at the conclusion of the regular season. That is what I do. This year, I don't know what we do, but it was something like 20-something and eight or nine or four (schedule). But I'm proud of that, people are like, well they're overinflated. Listen, Terry Pettit, who is a great friend of mine and was very helpful with me being here today, said well you didn't design the RPI, but at least you played to the RPI, you should get some credit for doing that. I think we will. We'll design a nonconference schedule that gives us the best chance to be an at-large team. You have to do that. You have to show in the nonconference that you can do that. When the time is right in this program, we'll design that accordingly. I don't know if that is next year, it may be in two years or a bit down the road. I just have to get in and check it out."
On what his best ideas are to get people talking about the program again
"I think we'll be available. We do a lot of silly stuff too; we did the twitter deal, which is fun. Again ADHD, 140 characters, that is about it. We will find ways to connect just being out there and making our program an open book. We had a reality show for three seasons on the Mountain West Network and it won an Emmy. We have more Emmy's than we do Mountain West trophies, that's ok I guess, but that's not what we want to be known for. We'll be available. We'll make ourselves available. We'll find ways to utilize the Big Ten Network, we will find ways to utilize social media, and we'll find ways to utilize our marketing people. I don't know what it's going to be. We'll welcome back our former players, I don't know what we do now, but we'll make sure they're back on an annual basis being recognized and being connected with. I think that is always important. We'll run a program the way I think a program should be run."
On what he finds to be a consistent in this work
"We stink right away. That is the hard part. That people are people, that change is hard for everybody, that transition is difficult for everybody. Some things fit, some things don't. Really, everybody has their own best interest in mind. For instance, if I'm dealing with the players and some kid feels like he doesn't fit my philosophy or a recruit who's out there and has been signed. It's just a natural way of doing business. When I took the CSU job, all 13 scholarships were accounted for. Here is a little something I want everyone to know, don't believe everything you read on the internet, that is just my advice. That was way funnier than I got credit for. But don't believe everything you read, because I read on the internet that Colorado State returned the most talent in the Mountain West and it was two weeks later and they were shooting at each other on a couch and we have guys in trouble, kicking guys off and guys going awol. Talented at what? It isn't basketball, it isn't commitment, and it isn't sacrifice or hard work. We had to endure a 0-16 record; we won our Mountain West Tournament game, which was huge. Thank god we at least had something to look forward to. I remember talking with our AD Paul Kowalczyk, we were 0-10 in the league and I told him, I want you to know I didn't give up winning for Lent and he said, I thought it was your New Year's resolution. He was good, it's tough. We've endured those things. It's just got to be about fit. Like Dr. Osborne, he thinks I am the right fit at this time at this moment, that is why the same old recipe that we've been trying hasn't worked and it might work this time. I think it will work. I think it's about timing and just that unique time that we're in with Nebraska basketball."
On what obstacles he thinks he'll encounter at this time
"Ohio State, Indiana, Michigan State, should I stop? I could go on all day. When do I get to us? I think the competition is amazing, it's world-class stuff. World-class coaches, hall of fame guys, we need to raise the bar. We need to get going."
On how he gets the Omaha crowd back on Nebraska basketball
"We win just as much as they're winning. Greg (McDermott) is a great coach; Greg was at Wayne State when I was at Southwest State. If you ever play him in golf, he'll want way more strokes than he deserves, so don't fall into that trap. Greg is a great guy, he is an exceptional coach. His kid is a way better player than he ever thought about being. Our job is to create the same thing here, only better, because our league is going to be amazing."
On if his son Gabriel plays
"Ask him, he thinks he knows it all. He says, I know how to shoot, I know how to dribble. He wants to shoot though; he asked if we could shoot later. Ava was doing cheers the other day too, she played for her middle school team. Mom was the athlete. She was an All-American in track. I couldn't play anywhere I went. I was at Mary College, sitting down there at the end of the bench second-guessing the guy at the front of the bench, so I decided just to join him. All the guys who complain about playing time, I'm like, I've got you covered, I can handle you. I've sat and have complained to everyone, I know how it is, go talk to your girlfriend, don't talk to me; she'll make you feel better."
Closing Statement
"It's been amazing. I appreciate you guys. It's been an amazing deal. This is a challenge I am excited for. I am confident we can build it, and we've exceeded expectations everywhere we've ever been. I know they've been at smaller levels but this is my first crack at the Big Ten, so you just have to give me a shot. We're going to put together the right kind of staff; our guys are going to play the right way. They're going to have a chance to win; we want to give them a chance to win every night out. We're in the premier basketball league in the country and we want to build on that. We want to make the Big Ten even better than it is right now and that is our job right now. Thank you very much for being here."

My site is dedicated to inform people about hepatitis and liver diseases in general. I am a gastroenterologist and hepatologist working in a university in Chile. I take care of patients with all kind of liver diseases, with a focus on viral hepatitis. I also teach and maintain a research carreer.
All the content in the site is absolutely original, I am not coping, duplicating or translating content.
The liver is the largest organ in the body, with several functions. Common problems related to the liver include hepatitis, cirrhosis, tumors and the need for liver transplantation.
Most people arriving to hepatitis.cl have recently been diagnosed with some form of liver disease or just found that they have an abnormal liver related test. There are many patients engaged in the forum who come back for some advice.
There are some doctors, also, looking for a quick look at some specific disease. This is my personal page as a doctor, where patients can get my contact info for scheduling an appointment.
I am looking for a clean, simple, attractive logo, but it has to keep somewhat an academic or serious look. I don´t want a funny cartoon. It may be even just fonts or some abstract form resembling a liver. I don't like things too complicated or with too many details. It should have "Enfermedades del Hígado" (Diseases of the Liver) on it, maybe a version with and without this phrase. Probably the definitive webpage will have a withe background.
Take a look at the current webpage (http://www.hepatitis.cl). It is in Spanish, but you can get the idea with Google Translate if you need.
This logo will be the first project in the re-design of the website (http://www.hepatitis.cl). I will run a contest in 99designs for a Wordpress theme (I wanted to make just one contest for the logo and the theme, but it seems that 99designs prefer to have separate contests for the logo and the website). The new website will be multilingual (at least Spanish, English and Chinese).
I would like it delivered in vector format and jpg.

Brown And Baucus
Republican Salutes The Democrat
I first met Max Baucus in 1973 when he entered the Montana House of Representatives as a freshman member from Missoula. His seat was at the back of the chamber near bright and articulate Dorothy Bradley of Bozeman, the previous session's only woman and future Democratic candidate for governor.
I got to know him well because we served together on the Judiciary Committee. We learned that we had the same birthday, and began a warm forty-year friendship.
One evening, late in the session, I entered the House chamber to pick up some things from my desk, and noticed bright lights and activity in the rear House gallery. When I went to investigate, there was my friend Max performing before television cameras. The following day he told me he was considering a run for Congress, and was working on advertising for a possible campaign. He asked me what I thought his chances were against the incumbent Republican Dick Shoup.
I was surprised. Max rarely spoke and generally kept a low profile in the legislature. I would have imagined Bradley, Tom Towe of Billings or Mike Greely of Great Falls as more likely candidates for higher office than Max Baucus.
I told him I doubted he could win. He replied that he thought Shoup was vulnerable. Max was carefully calculating from the beginning, and his calculations were correct. Democratic challengers defeated scores of Congressional Republicans in the post Watergate election year of 1974, and one of them was little known Max Baucus over the hapless Shoup.
The more obvious young Democratic stars in 1973 all attempted greater things, but Bradley was defeated for governor by Republican Marc Racicot; Towe lost for Congress to Republican Ron Marlenee; and after serving as attorney general, Greely lost in the Democratic primary for governor. The underestimated Max Baucus went on to serve for decades as Montana's most prominent public official, and most resilient political survivor, never losing an election in eight straight campaigns.
Shoup told me years after his defeat by Baucus that Max had dropped by his office before running for the legislature to sound Shoup out on a possible career in politics. Shoup told me he knew Max's family was Republican, and strongly encouraged him. "Little did I know, the former Congressman commented with a rueful chuckle.
Maybe those Republican roots offer some insight into the sometimes unpredictable Baucus congressional record. He has been described as "independent,""moderate," "pragmatic," an "insider," and a "maverick." Never as an "ideologue," or party loyalist.
I've always genuinely liked Max, and by the election returns many other Republicans have, too. Perhaps under different circumstances he might not have entered politics as a Democrat, and instead have been a pragmatic, unpredictable and perplexingly independent Republican. I think that thought has crossed the minds of both Montana Democrats and Republicans over the years.
No doubt, though, Baucus has been a powerful force for Montana Democrats, providing opportunities for many young party activists. And he has given vital financial and other assistance to Democrats down to the local level of state politics.
Our state will certainly miss Baucus's influence in the seniority driven U.S. Senate. I hope he won't try to cash in on the long opportunity Montanans have given him to master the system by selling his knowledge as a paid lobbyist. I think he will retire to his Montana roots as he has told us he will. And Max, if you ever feel like some fly-fishing with an old Republican friend, let me know. I have some good places up here in the beautiful Flathead country.
Bob Brown is a former Montana secretary of state and state Senate president.

A small slice of Kerala in Bangalore-that's what best describes the homestay at Sarjapur Road, Bangalore. The homestay gives you the best of both worlds â while it is not far from the city centre gives you a break from the madding crowd.
The hometsay is built in the traditional Kerala style of architecture-it has an open courtyard covered with baked Mangaloean tiles and the centre courtyard with a 'varppu', the pot traditionally used by families in Kerala to cook for guests. The interiors are decorated in the traditional Kerala style with authentic rosewood furniture, lamps, a tanjore veena and an ethnic swing. The bright colours, abstract art murals and knick-knacks give it a very contemporary feel.
Joseph John and his wife Maria, who run the homestay believe that it is their experience of having lived abroad for twenty years that helps them give their guests the right combination of an authentic Indian homestay which is on par with international standards and Joseph's rich experience in the hospitality industry is reflected in the tastefully-decorated and clean rooms, bathrooms specially sanitised for the guests and the immaculately-kept house. Joseph and Maria believe in treating guests like an extension of their family; this leaves the guests pleasantly surprised by the warmth and intimacy with which they are received. Joseph is very knowledgeable when it comes to books, movies, philosophy and the culture of Kerala. Guests can access his well-stocked library and movie collection. He is also interested in collecting antiques like the 17th Century portable fireplace, one of the few brought by the British to India and the antique Tanjore veena are testimony to this. His wife Maria, a homemaker is a very good cook.
So,if you want to learn the authentic Kerala way of cooking, no one is better than her to teach you. If you just want to relax then you have a wide variety of options whether you just want soak in the sun on the lawns or play some indoor games like snooker or chess or you can sit down for a movie marathon in the home theatre. For the weary, there's the option of a oil massage or yoga classes and if you're artistically inclined you can try your hand at pottery. The architecture of the house â with its baked tile roof and open courtyard â keeps the premises fresh and cool even in the summer months. During the warmer days guests can sit on the swing in the living area and watch overhead sprinklers create 'rain' in the courtyard. It's in the small personal touches that sets this homestay apart from other homestays and hotels. Also it's the family's welcoming, friendly manner that will stay with you long.

Joe Lilly needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 102 designs submitted by 28 freelance designers.
We are a Las Vegas based startup in the growing debt settlement field. Our mission is to help debt-strapped consumers by connecting them with service providers that can help them regain control of their financial situation.
78% of US households have debt, so we're casting a pretty wide net. Late 20's and up is spot on for age.
Debt is a scary topic, so we'd like a logo that appears very accessible, trustworthy and disarming. We don't want to look institutional ("banky"), because banks typically leave a bad taste in these customers' mouths. Something animated or a cartoon would be great. We want the logo to look fun and get the point across that managing debt is normal behavior.
The logo will also need to translate to TV as we are planning to launch commercials late next quarter. Thanks for reading!

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
U.S. stock-index futures pared early losses as traders made sense of a mixed batch of data on the American economy and kept a close eye on turmoil in Europe and the Middle East.
Continue Reading Below
Today's Markets
As of 8:44 a.m. ET, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures fell 41 points to 14820, S&P 500 futures dropped 5.3 points to 1602 and Nasdaq 100 futures slumped 7 points to 2916.
Traders had a flood of data to parse through Wednesday.
The American private sector added 188,000 jobs in June, according to payroll processor ADP. The gain is considerably larger than the 160,000 economists expected.
Meanwhile, the Labor Department said the number of individuals applying for first-time jobs benefits fell to 343,000 last week from an upwardly revised 348,00 the week prior. Economists expected claims to fall to 345,000 from an initially reported 346,000. The report comes a day early this week as a result of the Independence Day holiday.
Planned layoffs by U.S. employers rose 8.2% in June from May to 39,372, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.The labor market is still only slowly recovering from the financial crisis, and is a significant focus among economists. The Federal Reserve has also said it will tie future interest rate moves to the unemployment rate, so the data have taken on even more significance.
The Commerce Department reported the U.S. trade deficit widened to $45 billion in May from $40.2 billion in April. Economists expected the gap to fall to $40.1 billion. While the number is a lagging indicator, it figures directly into second-quarter gross domestic product readings. The greater the deficit, the more it detracts from GDP.
Finally, the Institute for Supply Management's non-manufacturing PMI is anticipated to come in at 54 in June from 53.7 the month before. That would indicate the services sector expanded at a slightly swifter pace during the course of the month.
Bourses across Europe and Asia took a thrashing on the day as a confluence of factors struck nearly simultaneously.
Fresh political instability in Portugal threatened to once again derail efforts by eurozone authorities to keep the 17-member currency bloc's crisis under control. The country's Foreign and Finance Ministers both resigned on Tuesday, and two more department heads were set to resign Wednesday, according to a report by Reuters.
That pushed Portugal's 10-year bond yields above the 8% mark for the first time since November, although, they receded to 7.6% in recent trading. The country's benchmark stock-market index was down close to 5%, while the considerably larger German markets were down about 2%.
Another concern for traders were oil prices, that have pushed sharply higher in recent days amid turmoil in Egypt. The benchmark U.S. contract recently jumped $1.79, or 1.8%, to $101.40 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline rallied 1.1% to $2.813 a gallon.
In metals, gold rose $11.30, or 0.91%, to $1,255 a troy ounce.
U.S. markets close at 1:00 p.m. Wednesday ahead of the Independent Day holiday. Traders said light volume could lead to increased volatility, as was seen in Tuesday's session.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 tumbled 1.9% to 2553, the English FTSE 100 sold off by 1.6% to 6204 and the German DAX plunged 1.6% to 7781.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 dipped 0.31% to 14056 and the Chinese hang Seng nose dived 2.5% to 20147.

TRU here in NC has yet to relase the vintage figures as of this week. Guess we'll have to wait until next month.
They have K-Marts in Australia?!? Wow, they can barely keep them afloat here. Any signs of Jodo Kast?
Chillax, the big release is almost upon us.
I think there are plenty of people who haven't had the chance to get these figures yet. After all there are about a dozen WM for every TRU. I'd be willing to guess that TRU represents something less than 20% of the total US sales of Vintage (WM~40%, Target~30%, everything else ~10%). Even if those percents are off Hasbro has made it clear in the Q&As that WM and Target sell far more than TRU.Went to my local TRU today and they didn't have the new Vintage figures out; not even peg tags for them. They had Legacy, old & new Saga Legends and old & new TCW. So atleast some of the stores are sticking with the street date.
This whole thing about TRU putting these out weeks early worries me, here's why.In two weeks, when Wal-Mart and Target put their stuff out, many collectors will already have what they want. The stuff won't sell at Wal-Mart, and them being the biggest retailer, will tell Hasbro that Star Wars is moving very slowly, especially those more expensive, collector driven figures...

Jaguars wide receiver Justin Blackmon issued a statement when he was suspended four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy, which was the only thing we heard on the topic from Blackmon until Monday.
That's when he met with the media following the team's first OTA of the year. Blackmon, who was arrested twice for DUI before signing his contract with the Jaguars, said that he has received a lot of support from the Jaguars since the suspension and that he'll continue to lean on the team in the future.
Blackmon was asked whether he would go to rehab, a question he avoided. He did answer a direct question about whether he had a substance abuse problem.
"No, I would say I don't," Blackmon said, via the Jaguars website. "Out of this whole thing one of the main things I would say that I had a problem with was just making a poor decision, making a selfish decision at that and not thinking about the long-term of it and just thinking about at the time. If you want to ask if I have a problem? I have a problem with making a poor decision."
It would seem that making at least three of those poor decisions under the influence of alcohol or other substances constitutes having a problem with substances. Whether or not that's something that requires rehab is a decision for Blackmon to make, but there's definitely a pattern here that's troubling. Another poor decision of this ilk could lead to Blackmon hurting other people or himself, to say nothing of a professional football career that would be seriously compromised by the year-long suspension that would accompany another violation of the policy.

For this month's Mixology Monday, which has a New Orleans theme, I'm going with a couple of drinks, both inspired by panels that I attended at Tales of the Cocktail.
The first drink is the Sloppy Joe's Mojito, inspired obliquely by the To Have and Have Another panel, on the drinking life of Ernest Hemingway. Whether Hemingway actually drank Mojitos appears to be in some dispute. The eminent Eric Felten argues persuasively that he probably did not, but it is clear that old Papa frequented the Havana bar that originated this version of the classic rum drink. He even apparently persuaded the proprietor of a Key West saloon to rip off the Havana original's name. So, who knows?
Charles Baker, writing in The Gentleman's Companion, describes the drink thus:
Put several lumps of ice into a 16 oz collins glass, toss in 1 tsp sugar or gomme, insinuate a spiral green lime peel about the ice, turn in 1-1/2 jiggers of Bacardi; white, or Gold Seal, and the strained juice of 1 small green lime–not a lemon. Stir once, fill with really good club soda and garnish with a bunch of fresh mint.
What I love about this variant is that a) it's not too sweet, and b) it's not too minty. I don't feel like I'm chewing rum-spiked Doublemint gum.
The second drink comes straight from the Beefeater reception at Palace Cafe and also the Juniperlooza session. I had heard of this drink prior to Tales, but I had never tried it. It's the Jasmine cocktail, devised by architect and booze writer Paul Harrington. It tastes remarkably like grapefruit juice even though it contains no grapefruit whatsoever. Honestly, this is one of those drinks that I often post where I'm sure the majority of my single-digit readership is thinking, "What! New to the Jasmine? He needs to crawl out from under Plymouth Rock or wherever the hell he lives and actually drink from time to time!"
No argument here, Skippy. I will say this, though. I've mixed a lot of cocktails at home, and I've had many others out. It's a rare treat when something passes my lips and earns a spot in my regular drinks rotation. The Jasmine is right there. Jen and I both adore it. It tastes like an old-school cocktail, even though it's not old enough to drive, let alone drink, and the ingredients are perfectly balanced. A new favorite.
- 1-1/2 oz gin
- 3/4 oz lemon juice
- 1/4 oz Cointreau
- 1/4 oz Campari
- lemon twist for garnish
Technique: Shake, strain, add garnish, sip, and smile.
Many thanks to Paulernum Clarke for hosting.

For more than four decades, Morrison & Foerster has participated in the development of the Israeli market, representing numerous Israeli companies globally, at every stage of their evolution, as well as the foreign investors and investment banks that finance those companies.
We are one of a handful of law firms that combine comprehensive legal advice, covering current market practices and trends relating to capital raising, with leading intellectual property analysis and advice. We provide securities and capital markets advice that is sharply focused on technology-centric companies. We believe that this expertise, as well as our historic commitment to Israel, has contributed to our long and successful track record with Israeli clients.
Our work with Israeli companies is concentrated in the following areas:
Late Stage and Pre-IPO Private Placements. Our lawyers regularly advise issuers, placement agents and investors in connection with private placements of equity, debt and hybrid securities. Private placements may be the first step for a venture capital or entrepreneurial client, or an alternative for a well-established issuer needing to raise capital when the public equity markets are unavailable. As privately held companies choose to remain private longer and defer their initial public offerings or other liquidity opportunities, these companies are focused on raising capital in private placements principally to institutional investors, cross-over funds and strategic investors. Often, these late-stage private placements are a prelude to an initial public offering. Late-stage private placements raise a number of special considerations for issuers, investors and financial intermediaries. We are among the market leaders in private placements, late-stage private placements, and PIPE transactions.
Corporate and Securities Transactions. In the last decade we have been a leading international firm for public offerings by Israeli companies. We help Israeli companies undertake cost-effective IPOs, follow-on public offerings and other capital market transactions, leveraging our broad practice in both technology and cross-border public offerings. For example, in 2014, we advised Mobileye NV, the maker of software for driverless cars, on its $890 million IPO, the largest U.S. IPO ever by an Israeli company.
The depth of our capital markets experience, combined with our expertise in some of the most active industries for offerings, makes us a resource for companies and underwriters conducting public offerings. Our work has been recognized in trade publications as well as legal and financial publications. In 2014, our representation of the Israel Electric Corporation in its global bond offering was highlighted as one of the top 3 International Financial Law Review's notable European Debt Deals of the Year.
Intellectual Property Protection and Licensing. Morrison & Foerster is an intellectual property powerhouse, offering an unbeatable combination when it comes to IP. We have extensive experience in the strategic planning of patent portfolios, including writing successful patent applications in complex and novel situations, and in anticipation of possible future litigation. Additionally, we are recognized as one of the world's leading law firms handling complex technology transactions, including negotiating and structuring complex licensing deals. When litigation threatens, we are called upon to represent clients in protecting their most valuable IP assets, with our distinguishing ability to handle issues of any complexity in nearly any venue, involving any technology. Leading third-party guides to the legal industry routinely take notice of our IP capabilities: Our recent accolades include Chambers USA's 2013 "IP Firm of the Year", Law360's 2013 and 2015 IP Practice Group of the Year and U.S. News & World Report-Best Lawyers' 2013 and 2015 "Law Firm of the Year for Information Technology Law", as well as being named one of three 2014 "IP Litigation Powerhouses" and a 2015 IP VIP by BTI Litigation Outlook.
Privacy and Cybersecurity. Our highly respected global privacy and data security practice group is comprised of more than 60 lawyers in offices in the United States, Europe and Asia. We advise on a broad range of privacy and data protection matters, including: privacy policies and procedures, information handling, security breaches, regulatory investigations, global compliance, cross-border data transfers, training programs, compliance audits, commercial transactions, website privacy policies, email and telemarketing regulation, litigation and legislative advocacy.
Mergers, Acquisitions and Strategic Alliances. We advise Israeli companies, investors, and venture and private equity funds in negotiating and structuring cross-border transactions. We have advised on some of the most significant cross-border acquisitions involving Israeli companies, including: Mellanox's acquisition of Voltaire; NCR'sacquisition of Retalix; Siemens AG's acquisition of Solel Solar Systems; Sigma Designs' acquisition of CopperGate; Syneron's acquisition of Primaeva Medical and merger with Candela Corporation; St. Jude Medical's acquisition of MediGuide; Hewlett Packard's acquisition of Mercury Interactive; DSP Group's acquisition of the cordless and VoIP business of NXP Semiconductors; McKesson's acquisition of Medcon; Spansion's acquisition of Saifun; and PMC Sierra's acquisition of Passave.
Litigation and Dispute Resolution. We conduct litigation and international arbitration proceedings throughout the United States and around the world to protect the global interests of our clients. We have represented The Hebrew University, Negevtech, Notal Vision, Pharmos, PowerDsine, Syneron and many other Israeli companies in intellectual property and securities litigation and arbitration.
Our global reach is important to Israeli companies, as well as to the international enterprises and venture and private equity funds seeking to do business in Israel.
Asia-Israel Cross-Border Transactions. We have a significant footprint in Asia and offer our clients experience, introductions, and practical guidance in dealing with Asian companies. With offices in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Singapore, and the largest law office of any international firm in Tokyo, we regularly represent clients in Israeli joint ventures in China and advise on investments by Asian-based investors in Israeli companies. We also advise on transactional and licensing matters between Israeli and Asian companies.
Europe-Israel Cross-Border Transactions. Israel and the European Union enjoy a strong economic relationship. From our three European offices, we are well positioned to assist Israeli companies exploit that relationship and advise in connection with their business activities and strategic priorities throughout Europe. The breadth and depth of our integrated offices and practices provides important benefits to our multinational clients particularly in connection with their cross-border investments. Our German team headquartered in Berlin, which has become a leading technology hub, is widely regarded as a valuable resource for technology-based clients around the world. Our German lawyers advise on corporate and M&A, capital markets, commercial/IP, antitrust and sector specific regulation, litigation, tax structures for cross-border activities, employment, data protection and data security. Our London and Brussels offices boast top tier capital markets practitioners, private equity and M&A specialists and licensing law experts and EU competition, IP, data protection and privacy experts.
Our lawyers are highly experienced in their practice areas and in a wide range of industries. Our experience in these industries enables us to offer insights that may enhance the economics of a transaction or inform our clients' strategies and approaches. Our industry knowledge enables us to provide informed, practical guidance. This is especially important in highly regulated industries. We help clients respond quickly to changes in the legal and regulatory environment, as well as to competitive pressures and industry trends.
Clean Technology and Renewable Energy. In recent years, we have become one of the leading firms in the clean technology and renewable energy market. We are able to leverage our extensive technology and energy regulatory experience to advise investors and companies in the clean technology market. We have a long history of representing investors, emerging companies and established companies in a variety of "green" industries, including alternative energies, water technologies and recycling.
Cybersecurity. The tremendous growth of technology as a means of communicating and conducting commerce presents unique privacy and security challenges for businesses and consumers alike. Morrison & Foerster has garnered a reputation as a leading cybersecurity and privacy firm. For the second straight year, the firm was named the Legal 500's 2015 Cyber Crime Firm of the Year. We are the firm of choice for numerous clients in handling cybersecurity and data breach responses. We are particularly adept at counseling companies that operate in highly regulated sectors (such as financial services, healthcare, retail, and pharmaceuticals) and those operating internationally. Our in-house cybersecurity specialists include a member of the Dutch Cyber Security Council and active member of the board of directors of the U.S. National Cyber-Forensics and Training Alliance,

Morrison & Foerster has long been recognized at that intersection as a leading financial services and technology firm. This particular expertise makes us an ideal partner for financial technology companies and their investors.

In the past three years, the Drink Water Rat Race has become one of the most renowned banked slalom events of the season. Set in the High Cascade park on Mount Hood, Oregon, the course is complex and at times treacherous and draws an incredibly illustrious group of riders to the start gate. At the third annual Drink Water Rat Race, riders the likes of Gigi Ruf, Nicolas Muller, Lucas Debari, Devun Walsh, Iikka Backstrom, Blake Paul, Forest Bailey, Temple Cummins, Scott Blum, Zak Hale, Spencer O'Brien, Leanne Pelosi, and many more dropped into the berms and banks in attempt to garner either the fastest time or gain recognition through one of the many additional awards that were handed out that day. In addition to these transitional turners some international halfpipe luminaries like gold medallists Kaitlyn Farrington and Kelly Clark, as well as X Games champions, Louie Vito, Danny Davis, Bode Merrill and Louif Paradis decided to battle it out in the banks.While the list of riders is one of the most varied and fairly legendary of the entire year, this competition has cemented itself into the yearly calendar by donating its proceeds to water.org, a non-profit that helps people around the world receive clean water, as well as providing a proving ground for established pros as well as up and comers. Additionally, in the midst of the competition, there is plenty of time for a summer reunion and despite the challenging course, the event is founded on good vibes and good fun. If you weren't able to make it to Oregon for this year's event, the next best thing is watching this video.
The Drink Water Rat Race is part of SNOWBOARDER Summer Games. Stay tuned for more photo and video coverage from each of the rest Summer Games events. Nexen Tires is the official tire sponsor of the SNOWBOARDER Summer Games.

Dash - Currently no way to find wine apps in dash other than searching them from search bar
|Assigned to
|Ayatana Design
|John Lea
|unity (Ubuntu)
|unity-lens-applications (Ubuntu)
Bug Description
There is no dedicated wine category/folder in dash where we can find wine apps at one place. Wine apps show in search results and under all applications category but user must be aware all the time about what apps he has installed. This seems a bit awkward and there should be a dedicated 'wine apps' category.
Also, in classic gnome, wine menus are nested and properly categorized so that we can easily know which is parent menu and what apps fall under it. This seems not to be the case with unity.
Desired design solution:
- wine apps that are currently installed should be displayed underneath the "Installed" Dash App Lens category header. They should also be searchable through both the Dash Home and the App Lens.
- wine apps that are present in the Software Centre should be displayed underneath the "Apps Available for Download" Dash App Lens category header

Although narrowly speaking, adding a Wine category would make things
better, the bigger problem is that the category list seems hardcoded.
Traditional implementations of the freedesktop.org menu spec
looked at the desktop files to see what categories there were.
Correct - the current list of categories is hardcoded. That's obviously not very cool, but it needs to be that way for various technical reasons:
- An "architectural bug" in the Unity<->Places integration makes this problematic (target for Oneiric)
- libgnome-menu's API is too limiting to really do anything other than what it was strictly intended for. This is more problematic to tackle as libgnome-menu is in some limbo state between being deprecated and moved to some other component in the G-stack. But could also be Oneiric material to tackle in some way.
- Unity's Dash is designed around a very flat concept (or 1 level deep if you will) for finding apps whereas the full extend of the XDG menu spec allows menus to nest arbitrarily deep. Wine utilizes deep menu hierarchies and this just doesn't map very well to the design of Unity. Do we sacrifice usability or spec compliance? I'd sac spec compliance any day, but other's may disagree. Need some discussion on this one.
- If the Wine installer could somehow assign meaning ful XDG categories to the installed apps they would automagically show up in the existing categories. It doesn't (in all fairness because it's more or less impossible)
- I don't see how it helps the user to put wine apps in their own dedicated category in the first place? That really seems like debugging info for us geeks spilling out into the UI to me. If I installed MS Excel I'd expect to find it in the Office category. If I installed Excel for my mother she would be very confused why she needed to look under Wine and not Office to find it.

For wine users, this is a usability problem, not a spec compliance problem.
The flat concept for finding apps breaks down when installing
Windows apps, which tend to install a handful of app menu items
in a deeply nested group. Often, these include menu items
named 'Readme' or 'Repair' whose names don't make sense without the
hierarchy. (Which of the 75 Readmes wins? Or do they all get icons? Confusing!)
This has bubbled up on the forums, e.g.
This bug means a significant step backwards from treating Wine apps as first class citizens, which is sad.

To put it simply, installing Windows applications creates an unacceptable mess, given the current circumstances.

For future reference; I marked bug #780576 as a dupe, but it contains relevant comments worth reading.
Here's the current status update wrt to my comment #3:
- The "architectural bug" has been fixed in the Oneiric cycle as part of a bigger revamp of he places/lenses infrastructure. This makes it at least technically feasible to resolve this bug.
- libgnome-menu is probably even more in limbo than I described before.
- Afaik there has been no constructive discussion about how to resolve this issue. And as I hinted before the statement "zomg! unity is teh broken because it doesn't support nested folders!☠" is based on frustration (which I can appreciate), but also based on a wrong assumption. Wine assumes that it will always live in a deeply nested hierarchy that it has full control over and Unity's design policy is pretty much the converse. Flat and locked down. The Wine approach wouldn't fly on Android or iOS either.
What I think needs to happen to move this bug forward is to have some constructive conversation around how to resolve this. Deep folder browsing is the obvious solution, but probably also the absolutely last resort as it breaks the UX horribly. So let's see if there is a more elegant way out of this.
My own best idea right now would be to not include Wine aps in the apps lens, but write a dedicated lens for Wine apps. Each app could then live in its' own cateogry, bundling all related launchers in that category. Living in a dedicated lens gives much more wiggle room for custom layout and interactions. It still doesn't entirely solve the problem in the global dash search though, where you'd end up with hits in the odd launchers...

Wine doesn't assume this, the applications do. Android and iOS have the luxury of not having tens of thousands of existing applications to worry about breaking. I tried to point it out the problem with this assumption at the very beginning of the Unity design process but it seems to have been ignored in favor of wishful thinking that either no one would want Windows applications or that somehow we'd port them all into proper Unity-compliant apps.
The latter is happening to some extent -- we'll soon have a few (hand-crafted) Wine-powered apps in Software Center with proper .desktop files. However by far the majority use case for Wine apps will be similar to Windows ones in the forseeable future - apps installed by running Windows installer files.
I agree that a Wine lens is appropriate, as we're not going to get around this issue. I might even write it myself.
To talk about something productive we can do right now, the Search interface in the application lens and Unity Dash can include the Wine subfolders as part of the name of the application when choosing whether to show it as a result. That at least makes it possible to find applications you just installed.
For instance, if you have an app that would normally be launched by something named Wine->Programs-

so under what app category wine apps are supposed to be shown? using 11.10 here, no existing app category seems to group wine apps, hence they are a pain to discover
Just having the option of a structured menu, and a way of adding apps to it might help. Flat is fine for people who only use a handfull of apps, but my only Ubuntu machine is a desktop, and my android device is better organised for letting me launch apps.

I do like the idea of a special Lens for WINE, seeing as it will be dedicated it would be possible to make it a Category Grouped list depending on the Folder given, eg:
Microsoft Office
Word Excel Uninstall
Photoshop ReadMe Uninstall
Serious Sam Crysis Doom 3 Far Cry Portal Half Life Uninstall ReadMe
of cause it will have the icons and the Uninstaller and ReadMe's will be unknown , perhaps the mouse Hover event can display the TRUE folder information, eg hovering Uninstall will show /Games/Doom 3/Uninstall.exe, this would enable you to know what each one is for, perhaps you could use the parent folder name in the title
Microsoft Office
Word Excel Microsoft Office/Uninstall
Photoshop Photoshop/ReadMe Photoshop/Uninstall
Serious Sam Crysis Doom 3 Far Cry Portal Half Life Doom 3/Uninstall Serious Sam/ReadMe
By using the Start menu parent it should collate them nicely even if you put them back in to the BIG Lens again actually ;)
The better idea would be to hide all items called ReadMe, Uninstall and other generic titles that are associated with WINE installs (.desktop files).

Nested hierarchies can handle hundreds of thousands of items without breaking a sweat, how well do you think your flat categories will scale? Not at all. Not even with search. And the fact that you *need* search is evidence that it doesn't.
Just admit it, the mobile device paradigm simply does not work on desktops. Continuing to force this nonsense is only serving to harm Ubuntu. Just as Microsoft is about to find out with Win8.

Just a reminder of where I was at:
Back in the summer I moved the rug to our master bedroom and lived without one for a while. It took me a while to figure out why the kids started playing on the front entry rug (the only rug in our main area). My beef with this rug in the living room was all the lego pieces getting lost in the long shag and wool fibers until one pierced your foot or you heard them journeying through the long dark chambers of the vacuum hose. My wish list for a rug for this space was low pile, durable and 8 x 10 or larger. Enter Homesense with the 8 x 10 cow hide rug.
Of course the furniture arrangement gets changed just about every time I vacuum. And the former floral chair backs have just been covered by an inexpensive Ikea throw.
When my husband goes away I like to play and that usually means building something. I had been dreaming of a similar coffee table for a while from restoration hardware so when I stumbled across some more unused timber I had just the project for it. I had our local welder put together the base for me and then I brought it home and sprayed it. I had never tried this spraying method before but it worked like a charm. I took two different spray paint colors (rustoleum's hammered nickel and rustoleum's graphite) and sprayed them simultaneously at a 45 degree angle (sorry no photo - both hands busy). Once dry, I just spritzed the metal lightly with rustoleum's bronze. This created a subtle worn look with nice depth. Then of course sanding the timbers, stain and varathane.
Rustic, tough, durable. Perfect for our family.

Supervalu's New Chairman a Veteran of Retail Turnarounds
Supervalu and Cerberus are bringing in a new chairman well versed in grocery-store transformations.
Robert G. Miller, who will take over a much-changed Supervalu board following Cerberus's purchase of several chains and up to 30% of Supervalu, earlier built the grocery chain Fred Meyer into a national powerhouse and then turned around the operations at Rite Aid.
In 2006, Miller became CEO of a group of Albertsons stores that Cerberus and its real-estate partners together purchased in a deal that has paid off handsomely for them.
One person familiar with Thursday's announced deal said Miller was key to it, calling him the "heart and soul" of the deal.
As chief executive of Supervalu, Cerberus and Supervalu are also installing another retail veteran, Sam Duncan, who earlier ran OfficeMax and ShopKo Stores.
Susquehanna analyst Bob Summers said in a report that he expects the new Alberstons team to manage the stores better than Supervalu had and that "the industry, over time, will confront better operated stores that are less likely to donate share."

Think about it, the Under-Three Set has limited vocabulary for expressing complex verbal narratives, yet, somehow they all seem to know the same tricks, at the same time. And ALL of them ambush us parents despite our thousands of books, online forums, emails, letters, and desperate calls to friends from the brink of sanity. How do you explain these shared behaviors? Where do they come from? For example:
- If she doesn't get what she wants from Mommy, she will immediately turn to Daddy, pitting one against the other. This is lawyer-grade manipulation. WHERE do they learn this? It ain't Elmo, he can't even get his pronouns right.
- That meltdown move usually performed in the middle of a crowded store, the one where they drop to the floor and become completely limp. It's impossible to pick them up as they lay there screaming at the top of their lungs.
- The absolute ear-ripping tone of whining that can break you. Like those whistles only dogs can hear. Or waterboarding.
- An uncanny sense of when and how to screw your whole morning schedule just you are the most late for work, and have a meeting.
- The ability to give you just enough positive reinforcement to make you think you get this whole parenting thing just before they totally shatter your illusion.
- How to look perfectly angelic while sleeping no matter what they just put you through seconds before they drifted off.
- Finally, that incredible ability to see you at your most frustrated and exhausted, and then do or say that one tiny thing that can melt your heart in a second. Ah, kids.

For clusters of all sizes, i like the mid-tower/breadrack/crashcart (or Emergency Response Terminal (ERT), as i like to call them). Of course, space can be a consideration. It can also be easier to force-cool a smaller physical area sometimes, which can make racks more attractive. I would argue that a well designed 1 or 2U chassis can improve cooling over most tower cases though. My home boxen are in decently designed Inwin towers with high-flow front fans and Aopen 300W server power supplies with high-flow fans. The power supply air feed is on the bottom, right above the processors. Idle, at an ambient 23C, my AMD 1700+ runs at 55C and my dual 800 P3's run at 53C.

text: I will review models of modified gravity in the infrared and show how extra degrees of freedom present in these theories get screened via the Vainshtein mechanism. That mechanism comes hand in hand with its own share of peculiarities: classical superluminalities, strong coupling and perturbative non-analyticity of the S-matrix to name a few. From a traditional effective field viewpoint such effects are disastrous but I will present the first hints in understanding these theories beyond the traditional perspective and their implications not only for gravity but also for our understanding of a certain class of field theories.
