CNN-The birthplace of the Arab Spring seethed Friday as anti-American rage sparked by an online film that insulted Islam's prophet boiled over across the Muslim world.
Hundreds of demonstrators turned out in Tunisia, the country where the self-immolation of a street vendor nearly two years ago set in motion widespread protests that toppled dictators in the region.
But Friday was an entirely different scene as protesters set their sights on the U.S. Embassy in Tunis, burning cars, storming the complex and replacing the U.S. flag with their own black banner, according to eyewitness accounts. Three people were killed and 28 others were wounded outside the embassy, Tunisia's state TV reported.
Aware that protests were planned in several Islamic countries Friday -- the Muslim holy day -- the United States beefed up security at its embassies and consulates across the Middle East.
The current unrest began Tuesday when outrage over a 14-minute American-made online video that mocks the Prophet Mohammed as a womanizer, child molester and ruthless killer sparked rioting at the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Four American consulate staffers were killed, including U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens. The same day, protesters stormed the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, although there were no reported casualties.
U.S. officials suspect that a group sympathetic to al Qaeda used the protests over the film as cover for the complex and well-coordinated attack on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi.
Days before Tuesday's protests, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo was warned by the American intelligence community of concerns about the video, a U.S. official told CNN. The cable sent to the embassy did not mention a specific threat. It only warned about the existence of the online movie and the fact that it was gaining attention.
Since then, there have been more violent protests an outrage over the online film, which YouTube has restricted in certain countries.
Here's a breakdown of where things stand:
Friday protests
People have taken to the streets in the Muslim world and other locations to show their outrage about the film.
-- In the Egyptian capital, a running battle between police and protesters continued into its fourth day. There was a peaceful demonstration at Cairo's Tahrir Square, but unrest erupted outside the U.S. Embassy in Cairo as riot police clashed sporadically with protesters. The Interior Ministry reported dozens of arrests and injuries.
-- In Egypt's northern Sinai, Islamist Bedouins staged a protest, a security official said. Militants carrying automatic weapons breached a base housing international peacekeeping troops and burned trucks and a watch tower. The armed clashes injured at least four troops and an Islamist Bedouin. The 1,500-troop mission has supervised the security of the Egyptian-Israeli peace treaty since 1979.

-- In Sudan's capital, Khartoum, protesters managed to get inside the German Embassy and pull down a German flag before police with tear gas forced the crowds to retreat.
-- In Yemen, police opened fire Friday to stop protesters from reaching the U.S. Embassy in Sanaa, eyewitnesses told CNN. Twenty-four security force members were reported injured, as were 11 protesters, according to Yemen's Defense Ministry, security officials and eyewitnesses.
-- Afghanistan saw its first demonstrations Friday, despite the government's attempts to block the online video from sparking riots. Hundreds of demonstrators in eastern Nangarhar province burned a U.S. flag and chanted "Death to America" and "We condemn the film." The demonstration lasted about an hour and ended peacefully, a local official said. The Afghan government has ordered an indefinite block of YouTube to prevent people there from watching the clips and staging violent protests.
In Gaza, several thousand people gathered after Friday prayers and chanted anti-American and anti-Israeli slogans. Protesters burned American and Israeli flags, as well as effigies of President Barack Obama.
-- In Syria, hundreds of protesters outside the U.S. Embassy in Damascus waved placards that condemned the film and blamed the U.S. administration for allowing the production and broadcast of it, according to the state-run Syrian Arab News Agency.
-- In Lebanon, hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets in the northern city of Tripoli, where they attacked and burned down a KFC restaurant. One person was killed and 25 others were wounded in scuffles between protesters and security forces.
There were also protests in Iran, Iraq, London, Jerusalem, Nigeria and the southern Indian city of Chennai. Peaceful protesters congregated in Pakistan and Turkey to express their opposition to the online film.
The FBI and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security warned there could be more violence "at home and abroad as the film continues to gain attention."
The online video generated little interest when it was first posted in July on YouTube, but it received global attention after it was aired recently on Egyptian television and promoted by anti-Islam activists online.
Jewish groups mad about early reports on anti-Islam film
U.S. authorities have discounted as false a producer's claims to news outlets that the filmmaker was an Israeli who made the movie with financing from more than 100 Jewish donors. Israel's government denies that the film's maker is Israeli.
New details emerge about mystery filmmaker
Latest on the investigation into U.S. ambassador's killing
Sources tracking militant Islamist groups in eastern Libya say the attack that killed Stevens and three other Americans was most likely carried out by a pro-al Qaeda group. Obama has vowed that "justice will be done."
Four people have been arrested in connection with the attack, although they were not directly tied to the killings, said Monem Elyasser, the chief aide to the Libyan prime minister.
Elyasser did not release the identities nor did he detail the allegations against the four people in custody.
The evidence leading to the arrests was based partly on witnesses, but "mostly pictures that were taken around the compound at that time," Libyan Prime Minister Mustafa Abushagur told CNNI's Christiane Amanpour.
Security beefed up
Officials are working to bulk up security in hotspots and react properly in areas where violence has popped up.
The first of two U.S. warships carrying guided missiles has arrived off the coast of Libya, and unmanned drones have been sent to help search for the killers of the Americans.
A group of Marines called a Fleet Antiterrorism Security Team was deployed to Libya to help secure U.S. facilities, said two U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release the information.
About 50 Marines arrived in the country Wednesday, the officials said.
More security forces are being deployed to Yemen as well.
"Although these security forces are equipped for combat, these movements have been undertaken solely for the purpose of protecting American citizens and property. These security forces will remain in Libya and in Yemen until the security situation becomes such that they are no longer needed," Obama said.
A senior State Department official said the United States is working with the Tunisian and Sudanese governments "to ensure the necessary resources to deal with the situation at our missions there."
World reaction
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay on Friday urged religious and political leaders to restore calm amid protests "in some 15 or more countries across the world."
She condemned the killings at the U.S. Consulate in Libya and the ensuing violence over what she called a "malicious and deliberately provocative" film about Muslims.
What Muslim nations' leaders are saying -- and not -- about violence
Pillay recalled the killings of more than 20 people, including seven U.N. staffers, in Afghanistan last year after what she called "another deeply provocative act by a pastor in Florida." That was a reference to the burning of Qurans by American pastor Terry Jones.
"It is deeply tragic and reprehensible that people who have nothing whatsoever to do with these disgraceful stunts should lose their lives to enraged mobs and extremists in countries such as Libya and Afghanistan," she said.

About Electric Guitars:
Though it gained immense popularity during the rock 'n' roll days of the 1950s and 1960s, the electric guitar was invented in 1931. The need for the amplified guitar became apparent during the Big Band Era as orchestras increased in size, particularly when guitars had to compete with large brass sections. The first electric guitars used in jazz were hollow archtop acoustic guitar bodies with electromagnetic transducers. By 1932, an electrically amplified guitar was commercially available. Early electric guitar manufacturers include Rickenbacker in 1932, Dobro in 1933, National, Epiphone and Gibson in 1935 and many others by 1936.
Although they just released the Gibson 2016 line, Gibson's first production electric guitar, marketed in 1936, was the ES-150 model ("ES" for "Electric Spanish" and "150" reflecting the $150 price of the instrument). The ES-150 guitar featured a single-coil, hexagonally shaped pickup, which was designed by Walt Fuller. It became known as the "Charlie Christian" pickup, named for the great jazz guitarist who was among the first to perform with the ES-150 guitar. The ES-150 achieved some popularity, but suffered from unequal loudness across the six strings.
The electric guitar has since evolved into a stringed musical instrument that is capable of a multitude of sounds and styles, and served as a major component in the development of rock 'n' roll and many other genres of music.
One of the first solid-body guitars was invented by Les Paul, though Gibson did not present their Les Paul guitar prototypes to the public as they did not believe it would catch on. The first mass-produced solid-body guitar was Fender's Broadcaster (later renamed the Telecaster) first made in 1948, five years after Les Paul made his prototype. The Gibson Les Paul appeared soon after to compete with the Broadcaster. Another notable solid-body design is the Fender Stratocaster, which was introduced in 1954 and became extremely popular among musicians in the 1960s and 1970s for its wide tonal capabilities and comfortable ergonomics.
Chambered Body
Some solid-bodied guitars, such as the Gibson Les Paul Supreme, the PRS Singlecut or the Fender Telecaster Thinline, among others, are built with hollows in the body. These hollows are designed specifically not to interfere with the critical bridge and string anchor point on the solid body. The motivation for this can be to reduce weight, to achieve a semi-hollow tone, or both.
These guitars work in a similar way to solid-body electric guitars except that, because the hollow body also vibrates, the pickups convert a combination of string and body vibration into an electrical signal. Semi-hollowbodies are noted for being able to provide a sweet, plaintive or funky tone. They are used in many genres, including blues, funk, '60s pop and indie rock. They generally have cello-style F-shaped sound holes, though these can be blocked off to prevent feedback, as in B.B. King's famous Lucille.
Full Hollowbody
Full hollow-body guitars have large, deep, fully hollow bodies and are often capable of being played at the same volume as an acoustic guitar, and therefore of being used unplugged at intimate gigs. The instrument originated during the jazz age of the 1920s and 1930s, and is still considered the classic jazz guitar, nicknamed the "jazzbox." Like semi-hollow guitars, they often have f-shaped sound holes. Having humbucker pickups (sometimes just a neck pickup) and usually strung heavily, jazzboxes are noted for their warm, rich tone. A variation (popular in country and rockabilly) with single-coil pickups and sometimes a Bigsby tremolo has a distinctly more twangy, biting, tone than the classic jazzbox.

Can you give me a way to established a norm on $k[x_1,\ldots,x_2]$ for division with remainder such in $k[x].$
Can you give me a way to established a norm on $k[x_1,\ldots,x_2]$ for division with remainder such in $k[x].$
Because $\rm\:k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\:$ is no longer a PID for $\rm\:n > 1\:,\:$ one requires a generalization of the division algorithm. This is the foundation of various standard basis algorithms, e.g. Gröbner bases, which generalize both the Euclidean algorithm and row reduction. For a very nice introduction see David Bayer's Harvard thesis The Division Algorithm and The Hilbert Scheme, 1982, which was advised by Eisenbud and Mumford. Appended below is an excerpt from the introduction.
Such generalized division algorithms can also be viewed as special cases of critical pair algorithms employed in equational completion "algorithms", e.g. that of Knuth-Bendix. See here for more.
The more knowledgable commenters apparently won't write an answer, so I will type up a CW summary lest this question end up in the unanswered files.
The answer is 'No'. If a function like a Euclidean norm should exist on an integral domain, then all the ideals of the said ring would have to be principal. But e.g. the ideal $I$ of polynomials $p$ from $k[x,y]$, $k$ any field, such that $p(0,0)=0$ needs two generators, for example $x$ and $y$.
OTOH you can view $k[x_1,x_2]$ as a subring of $k(x_1)[x_2]$. This latter object is the ring of polynomials of $x_2$ with coefficients from the field of rational function $k(x_1)$. Because this is a ring of univariate polynomials with coefficients from a field, it is a Euclidean domain, and hence has a Euclidean norm and a division algorithm. When you apply the division algorithm of this ring to two elements $a,b\neq0$ of the subring $k[x_1,x_2]$ what will often happen is that the division process introduces non-constant polynomials of $k[x_1]$ into the denominators. So the end result (= the $(q,r)$ pair of a quotient and a remainder satisfying the familiar equation $a=qb+r$ with $\deg r < \deg b$) no longer belongs to the subring $k[x_1,x_2]$. Also observe that in the context of the ring $k(x_1)[x_2]$ the degree of a polynomial is determined by looking at powers of $x_2$ only. In this context any power of $x_1$ is just another 'constant coefficient'.

Fix a nice complex algebraic variety $X$ with base point $x$. (We will work in the analytic topology.)
Let $G$ be a finite group. Then the set of normal subgroups of $\pi_1(X,x)$ with quotient $G$ corresponds to the set of $X$-torsors for $G$. (We write $G$ for the constant sheaf on $X$ associated to $G$.)
This is just saying that Galois covers of $X$ correspond to torsors for $G$.
Now, not all covers of $X$ are Galois. In general, finite covers of $X$ correspond (in some sense) to finite index subgroups of $\pi_1(X,x)$ and the degree is given by the index.
I'd like to know if we can replace the set $H^1(X,G)$ of torsors for $G$ by something "torsorish" and still have a correspondence with the set of finite index subgroups of $\pi(X,x)$ of some fixed degree.

Assassin's Creed: Ezio Trilogy PS3 for $29.99 + free shipping

$29.99 feels to me like a retail price for 3+ years old games...
@globesellout: Then I'm sure you bought this already because only 1 of the 3 games included on this disk is 3+ years old.
My bad i thought its part 1+2 + brotherhood. But retail price for this game is not much more $39.99
Assassin's Creed sucks. The first one was good, but the rest have been horrible.
Kill the city guards in creative/sadistic ways to vent your daily frustrations.
My favorite? Poison a guard so that he starts flailing around with his weapon, then throw money at him. Watch the shrieking beggar women who hound you day and night dive for the coins, just to get cut down by the spasming guard.
What? I can't be the only one who enjoys that. Don't judge me!
@purplefeather: I'm on my first playthrough of AC2 and I'm about to go try that. Thanks for helping break up the monotony.

The 11 Most Unintentionally Creepy Christmas Ornaments
Here's the thing: Modern-day Christmas is pretty weird already. It's a conglomeration of legends involving everything from a supernatural home invader with flying pack animals to a talking snowman.
So when it comes time to make holiday decorations, the line between festive and nightmarish is razor thin. That's how we wound up with ...
#11. Demon Santa
"He knows if you've been bad or good, but neither will save your soul."
"So, how can we give our little Santa figurine that extra little bit of flair?" "How about we stick a light inside his head? Like he's ... glowing with Christmas cheer or some shit? Just do it, I'm sure it'll look fine."
You were probably too distracted by Santa's glowing demonic eyes there to notice what he's sitting on: a tiny little house. And if you don't think a gigantic Santa whose eye sockets are burning with the fiery embers of hell itself squatting on your roof is terrifying, it's only because you haven't seen the video of it in action yet. This thing is a fully animated robot, fueled by a hatred of humanity:
Also, you can own one for just $85. Act now, supplies are limited and controlled by Satan.
#10. Christmas Infant Comprehends the Universe's Horrors
The birth of Munch's The Scream.
Ah, Christmas. The time of year when we celebrate the emergence of the terrified infant from the alien cocoon.
According to the product description, this ornament is supposed to be a baby peeking out from a blanket. It was made in Germany, so maybe over there a baby in a blanket looks like an insect larva filled with the shiny half-formed offspring of a T-1000.
They also want us to think the gaping red mouth is actually a pacifier. Yeah, nice try, Germany.
#9. Beast-Legged Santa
This could have all been so very jolly. From the neck up, this is a nearly flawless execution of the (as we've now learned) extremely difficult task of creating Christmas decor. The lack of hands is a little troubling, but an artistic medium like pipe cleaners or whatever those are doesn't really leave room for luxuries of that sort, so it's fine.
But why, please, we're asking, why does Santa have tapered, footless animal legs? These are apparently reproductions of ornaments that first appeared in the 1940s. Did Santa have the torso of a fucking hairy starfish back then? If so, "The Night Before Christmas" contains some glaring omissions.
We thought we'd find out what happened if we animated him. You're welcome.
#8. Kidnapping Santa
"I'm going to grind you up into elf feed."
Wait, is this even a Christmas decoration? If you just saw it in passing, you'd certainly think it was. There's a kid, a bag, a man in red clothes with a white beard -- all the usual suspects. But a second glance reveals the terrified kid getting stuffed into the sack, and that the guy doing it is just some dude in a robe.
You can find reproductions of this old-timey Christmas image around the Web, and nobody seems to know the origin of it. The site where we saw this particular ornament thought it was German (again!) because part of their Santa mythology supposedly involves him kidnapping children. Of course that's ridiculous -- their Santa leaves the kidnapping to a horrifying Christmas demon.
#7. So Apparently Terrified Infant Ornaments Are a Thing
Little mention is given in the Bible to the time baby Jesus' insides were liquefied and eaten by Shelob.
Ah, the screaming terror of an infant that has been kidnapped by a lunatic and hung from a tree like a shrieking little trophy. This is apparently a traditional type of ornament that we had just missed before now.
This one was sold in a now-closed Etsy sale, but has fortunately been preserved at Regretsy, the archive of Etsy's greatest horrors. The description said it would be "a special keepsake for anyone with a special baby in their lives, or as a reminder of the Holy Infant ..."
So take your pick: that screeching, bound, dangling baby is either your kid or Jesus.
#6. "Snowman" with "Stocking"
"Guess where I'm jamming this candy cane."
For each second you spend looking at this, some new horror will reveal itself. The product description says it's a snowman holding a stocking. Bullshit. Since when do snowmen have facial features, or rosy cheeks? Or legs? No, this is some kind of malformed offspring of an antiques-store orgy. It has the hat and collar of some kind of old-timey clown and the candy buttons of a gingerbread man, and it's not carrying a stocking -- it's carrying a boot that we're 100 percent sure still has a severed foot inside.

Despite these few regulars, I would really appreciate it if you could check out my stream and give it a chance. The name of the stream is "Kong Nation" and currently focuses on performing feats on stream such as acquiring badges, performing speed runs, ect. I would also be open to do less intense things such as review games, have group discussions, etc.
Link: http://www.twitch.tv/hokage4354
Thanks for checking out the stream!
Mon. _ Fri. : 7:30pm _ 9:00pm US Eastern time
Sat. : – - -
Sun. : – - -
Things on my future agenda:
Vertigo: Gravity Llama Impossible Badge/Speedruns
Incursion Badges
Run 2 Badges
Playing/Beating Arcane (Lags too much on stream)
Castaway Badges
Race The Sun Badges

If your program runs faster across 3 processes, 2 of which are local to each other, with --mca btl tcp,self compared to --mca btl tcp,sm,self, then something is very, very strange.
Tim cites all kinds of things that can cause slowdowns, but it's still very, very odd that simply enabling using the shared memory communications channel in Open MPI *slows your overall application down*.
How much does your application slow down in wall clock time? аSeconds? аMinutes? аHours? а(anything less than 1 second is in the noise)

For riding here in Colorado I wear the same stuff I wear when back-country skiing, except the boots. Wool is great since it doesn't get stinky nearly as fast as polypro. I don't bother with a helmet unless I have some road sections to share with cars. Multiple layers is the key of course to controlling your temperature.

any news on the release date?
any news on the release date?
It's usually Novemberish
Will the Juve v Notts Co friendly be coded in. You could never arrange that fixture from the Notts Co side in game due to reputations but its "real life" so be good to see it in the game. Would probably lead me to trying a County save.
at least i will get the game early, the sisters fiance works in gamestation
Manage Anywhere, Anytime the ability to add or take away playable nations in your saved game as often as you want. Manage in that country at the start of the next season- meaning you dont have to stay in the nations which are chosen by you to be playable at the start of your career.
The most importnant feature that I am looking forward too. Will love teh ability to swap continents at ease once you have conquered one. I usually only have Europe and the Argentinian and Brazilian leagues selected as playable to save time.
Yeh going to make for a dynamic career. Might do a Wenger and manage over in Japan for a while. Do the old switcheroo then. Eventually I'd like to end up back in Europe with the familiarilty of it all, but the biggest stumbling block before was only being allowed a certain amount of leagues (due to computer being not good enough lol). This feature will definitely open up the world of Football Manager.

I also wrote thousands of words about FM12 for blogs. Now just need them approved, translated, screenshots taken, videos done & approved, which is all out of my hands. Hopefully they'll be able to start in a week or so.
Really looking forward to working out the tutoring system again.
all the new features look brilliant and will ad something extra. The only problem i have with FM is when you play as a wigan or swansea and lost against manchester united and the fans are concerned.
New game looks top notch
Regarding the demo, you used to be able to do one league, english, spanish etc, and then get to 6 months and it would stop, and then be able to carry on the save once you have the full game but be restricted to the quick start league you picked, my question is, will we be able to do that in FM 2012 and then carry on, and then be able to change leagues still?
Yeah, quick starts are just regular save games
I'm glad about improvements here, hope they work out as well as we all hope. I would love to see a transfer centre tab that shows something similar to this below. Would make deadline a bit more interesting I think:Transfers & Contracts significant changes to the transfer and contract systems, including loyalty bonuses, better implementation of amateur and youth contracts, an improved transfer centre and the ability to lock areas of the contract negotiation when you aren't prepared to budge. This helps you to manage your budgets and gives you flexibility in what you offer money hungry players, or agents, as incentives.
When do you guys think we can expect news regarding a release date? A month before or something like that?
I'd say we'd get a release date around early October, demo might be out then too.
Hope the game is released around the end of october. Got a weeks holiday then.
FWIW, FM '11 was released first week of November, and that date was announced in mid-September.
EDIT: And FM '10 was released at the end of October (right about Halloween)

Well I'm waiting to hear when it's out - then I'm taking 2 weeks off work.
i was hoping the goal celebrations might have been worked on a little instead of players just running then standing next to eachother, yeah its a little thing but im a perfectionist :-)
Also saw a listing for the 22nd of October, so presuming it will be within a couple of weeks of that.

The quality of the screenshots from the OP are pretty poor. http://www.footballmanager.com
Any larger screenshots?
Click each screenshot, then Full resolution.
I hope you added the posibility of organizing friendly matches in neutral grounds (This kind of matches only happen at the begining of a save, then only the World Cup and the continental cups, but those are not friendly). And...maybe it's not that important but, when a country is hosting an international tournament (World cup or continental cup) the team should be recognized as local, and not neutral like the other teams.
One thing i like to see implement is, on international management, you should be given the option to choose a pitch size for home games.
If they do anything with international management it should be able to assign preferences to what players you call up.
I.e., I can mark players with a "1" and the next international I'm asked if I want to call up those players.
Of course I'd have players marked in "2" also.
So if a player isn't available you can go to your number 2 choices and see.
Just make it easier.
The aspect of the game I'd like to see changed most would be really simple and would create a much better game for everyone;
Simply; add a box to the 'new game screen' that says something like "play with 'b' teams as 'reserve teams'", so basically the 'b teams' become reserve teams that you can control the squad & transfers & training etc.
Just so I can finally play a game in Spain. It's the best league in the world, but I can't use it on FM because of the stupidity of the 'b teams'... Now some people may like a management simulation where you don't actually manage all of you team, but not me.
That's how the Spanish league works. It's nothing to do with any "stupidity". Spanish managers don't control their B teams. That's how the league is structured.
Had someone explain it to me before, I'll see if I can find the thread.
Although I am waiting for FM12 to be released as soon as possible, I have to admit that I cant see the regular pre game hype that used to surround the forums in previous editions of the FM games...
That's cos I feel a lot of them are prima donnas that seem to think that SI or Sega owe them.
I'm excited about the game.
Any chance to have enhanced stadium ambiance with hymns and chants in FM12 ?
You can hum along yourself.
Any update to the regularity of team specific chants?
I'm guessing he means music that plays in certain stadia when the home team scores.
I would play FM just to hear this everytime I score as Norwich <3
Play.com are taking pre-orders and state the release date as 21st October.
I know there's nothing official, but they have picked this date based on something.
yeah its just a ploy to get you to part with your money quickly, they have no idea when it will come out, and when the date comes and goes they will fall back on blaming SI for pushing the date back, when in reality that date was never a release date at all, but no one will buy something when they have no idea what date they will receive it.
so no new officail announcements in nearly a month. is that a good or bad thing?
It's a normal thing when there's something to announce it'll be announced here first.
no need to pre-order when you use steam, otherwise being the fanboi i am i would have it pre-ordered already haha
I gotta start this post with I love the football Manager series since it first came out, This season I have been looking forward to it even more since Swansea have reached the premiership, but I really can't help being disappointed with the game, it just seems that they update the teams and give the press conference more options every year and every other thing seems irrelevant to the game, and its just put there to make it seem even more like a new game. I really hope that something new comes to this game to bring something fresh to the board because at the moment I can't help feeling that the game is getting very stale.
I would just like the ability to delete all scouts reports with one button, instead of having to do it individually. There are sometimes 20+ players scouted at one go!
Because of this waste of time I no longer use scouts to check other Divs., countries, etc. because it takes too long to delete the results. You can tell from the stars shown who you are interested in, the rest; one button delete please!
Something I would like is the player value having the ability to go higher than it is now, without buying them, it seems to be locked at £36m.
HMV says release date is the 28th of October. Probably just a guess, but they do have links with SI and FM.
SI last year revealed the release date on 18th september. this year could be similar...
No new video or screenshots from FM 2012 ?
There is NO release date as yet, you'll hear it here first.
They don't have release dates for many unreleased games so I would be curious as to where this date has come from.
For example, the handheld version has no date.
I wonder if SI wil release a date for when they will reveal what the release date is.
I heard a rumour that they'll start a rumour based on total conjecture, (no date for that yet though)
Theres is a rumor already about the starting date of that rumor!
Can anyone confirm if the bug where you get a new stadium and the following year the name has vanished from the game been fixed for FM12?
so any ETA on a demo ?
The Match engine looks the same and all, but don't affect my passion for this brilliant game.
A few things i'd like to see put right....
1. Now there is just one award (fifa ballon d'or) rather than the old two awards (world player and world footballer which in real life would be the ballon d'or and fifa world player of the year) so i would like to see that in addition to adding awards like world manager, best goal (fifa puskas award). Perhaps also have available the option to view past winners of the awards no longer being used (seeing as it's one new award the past winners of the previous awards will disappear.)
2. The european awards (such as striker, goal keeper and so on) are awarded at the wrong time, these awards are essentially the uefa club awards given out during the champions league draw so i'd like to see that made accurate with the stats used i.e. the champions league only and the timing of the award to match that of the champions league draw (yes i've tried with the editor but it simply does not work).
3. Lower league awards, such as in the championship, don't have awards for young player and team of the year (that i've seen anyway). Tried to add them but again they won't work.
4. Placing of the away fans and perhaps even being able to choose what stadium model your team plays in.
5. The intelligence of the board. Examples being Arsenal and Man Utd. Every single game i have played, as soon as Wenger and Fergie retire it all goes down the tubes for both sides. Now don't get me wrong, Man Utd mid-table is nice but i'd rather be able to fight them down to the wire. The board make stupid, very stupid choices for manager. Man Utd hired Mike Phelan as manager after Fergie..... Good assistant manager no doubt but he sure as hell isn't good enough to manage Man Utd.
6. Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. The two stand out players of our generation, notching 40 odd goals a season........ Never seen it happen in FM. I have no doubts that i could get 40-50 goals out of Messi and Ronaldo if they were in my team but they struggle to find 20 goals when left to the AI. I wanna see these two at their devastating best come FM12, have a real challenge knocking Barcelona off their perch!
That's all i have for now, no doubt i'll remember more to keep the Si bunch on their toes lol

During a 3d match:
crowds - tick
players - tick
refs - tick
benched players - tick
physios - tick
manager - ....?
Why is there no manager in the dugout?
It would be fun to see a manager shouting instructions during a game.
looking forward to the game as always
I asked for that last year, and the year before.
Am I the only one a bit disappointet at these changes? I'd at least like to see a major overhaul of the network - both online and offline - options. A lot of flaws/areas that needs to be looked at here.
So the game will be out on oct 21. not long to wait then just need to save up now.
It's brilliant the game is coming out this early.
Yeah I'm stoked that it's coming out on October 21!
Doubt i`ll buy it then though going on past releases which have been very buggy. might wait till christmas to get it.
Now we know the release date, do we know what the system requirements are
just seen new one on shopto for 19.85. its download only though but still cheapest so far.
I remember a few years ago when the release date was announced a few online shops offered some extras when preordering the game, is there such thing this year?
21st October good.
Now give us the demo to kill time
'Ang on. SI haven't announced most of the changes yet. Be patient and wait for the blogs.
Well i have to say thanks si cause october is great. Last year it came out in november and that was annoying atleast this year it will come out during my half term.
i will buy this! the 3d mode looks much better!
Probably won't happen, but since I *just* started a game, like three seasons ago, it would be majorly awesome if there was a save-game converter that allowed you to continue a game that you started in 2011. I know, there's a whole bunch of new features, but reputations, player stats, manager stats and so on haven't really changed all that much. I have no qualms if that came with some caveat, like "only a savegame that's saved with July 1st will be convertable"... or whatever.
Secondly: There will be a non-Steam-version again, I hope?

A 57-year-old third grade teacher from suburban Detroit whose Boston Marathon finish was blocked by the bombing attack has had a chance to run in front of an even bigger crowd at the Indianapolis 500.
Nancy Smith of Macomb County's Shelby Township was one of about 35 Boston Marathon participants who got a chance to run on a half-mile stretch of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway on Sunday before the start of the auto race.
Kelli Wheeler of Mason was also among the runners.
Smith tells The Associated Press that running at Indy was one of the most "awesome, incredible experiences" of her life.
Smith finished 12 straight Boston Marathons before this year, when she and other participants were halted short of the finish of the 26.2-mile race April 15.

I recently purchased a Panasonic GF1 with the 20mm pancake lens. It's by far the nicest camera I've ever owned and I'm really excited to learn the basics of digital photography (primarily street photography) with it. It comes with all sorts of "scene" modes (which I guess are just preset iso, aperture, shutter speed values... is that right or is that totally oversimplifying things?). It also has the ability to define 2 custom modes... so, while I'm having fun experimenting with various combinations of these settings I'm finding it to be kind of overwhelming. There are so many different combinations of iso, aperture, and shutter speed that can be set I'm wondering if there are some good "base" values to start with? I think I'd like to setup one of the settings to work in b&w and the other to work in color, but am open to any and all suggestions.
Your tripod of settings, iso, shutter, and aperture, all work together to create an exposure. That level can change every second, based on whether a car is driving by, a street light is flickering, the moon goes behind a cloud, your subject puts on a hat, etc.
Heres my oversimplified two step approach:
Most street photographers will insist, loudly, that the technique and equipment are very much secondary to the vision and the results. They're quite correct, and it's important not to obsess.
That said, from a very basic standpoint, there are some pretty simple constraints to most street work:
Movement means you want a slightly higher shutter speed. Not having time to focus would imply a higher f-number to increase depth of field. Take both of those together, and combined with the variation in light and shade in the city, and you'll want to raise the ISO, at least a little. Tri-X 400 was the photojournalist film of choice (though sometimes downrated to ~250).
This is a very typical 'photojournalist' type of setup, with nothing particularly special about it. And there are always reasons to vary your approach, like this great long-exposure shot by Trent Parke:
And very much worth reading is his commentary on how he got the image, reproduced on Flickr here: http://www.flickr.com/groups/onthestreet/discuss/72157617875097800/
There is no common setting that produces a good exposure. You need to practice, experiment and make sure you understand how these settings work together. Some general guidelines I've come across in the past might help you on your way:
A suggestion - nothing more
The lower your ISO, the less digital noise you will have. Although modern cameras are improving noise very quickly, I suggest that you start by setting the lowest ISO you have.
To start out with, you probably don't want any motion blur in your photos, so set the shutter speed at faster than, say 1/50 of a second. (The rule of thumb is to have the shutter going at least as fast as the length of the lens, so at least 1/50 of a second for a 50mm lens, at least 1/100 of a second for a 100mm lens, etc.)
This leaves apperture - leave apperture on automatic so that you can get the correct exposure having set the ISO and shutter speeds.
Try it out and see how it works for you - then have fun changing things.
My own setting
With my GF1, I set up the 2 custom modes : on C1, my "back to Leica" setting :
on C2, my "shoot without thinking" setup :
Not an expert, but I've heard some experts favor high iso (i.e. fast shutter speeds) and small aperture (i.e. deep depth of field), both because action is fast, subjects are in motion, no time to focus precisely on subject and noise (hi iso) is preferable to motion-blurred subjects.
These are the setting that I generally find work best for me. I use a 35mm film camera, but should be the same for digital. Shadow characteristics. St. photography ISO Set shutter speed to match ISO f/16 Sunny: Distinct with sharp edges. f/11 Slightly cloudy: Soft around edges. f/8 Overcast: Barely visible shadows. f/5.6 Heavy overcast: No shadows. f/4 Open shade: sunrise/set no shadows.

So you're the winning bidder all week until the last 5 seconds when someone shoots in and outbids you. Is there anything to help prevent that from happening or is that just a fact of web auctions?
Bid the real maximum price you're willing to pay, then if you lose you don't mind because you didn't want to spend that much anyway.
As for a real answer, I don't think there's a trick beside bidding at the last second too.
Those people that outbid you might be using an eBay sniper application which places bids at the closing seconds of an auction (e.g. gixen.com). You could use one of these utilities yourself.
Unfortunately, using these snipers is actually better for the bidder than using eBay's functionality (auto bidding) since you can keep your interest in the item, and the amount you are willing to pay, a secret up to the last seconds of the bid. By using eBay's feature, someone can figure out what your maximum bid is by placing a higher bid incrementally. It's unfortunate, since it makes sniping apps required to win some bids at a reasonable price.

The Carmi-White County High School Bulldogs traveled to Fairfield Saturday, April 27 for the 25th annual Fairfield Round Robin Tennis Tournament held at Lake Side Tennis Courts. Benton, Herrin, Marion and Fairfield participated in the event along with CWC, who was crowned the winning team with a total of 114 points. Herrin finished second with 104 followed by Marion with 93, Benton with 88 and Fairfield with 46.
The format of the tournament offered play for one 8-game set with two singles and two doubles events. Noah Heupel represented Carmi-White County at number one singles and was undefeated in tournament play, winning 4-0 for the day and winning the singles title.
Heupel began his day with a victory over Fairfield's foreign exchange student Vadillo, winning 8-4. He returned for an 8-2 win over Flatt of Benton followed by an 8-6 win over Byrne of Marion. Heupel sealed the deal with a win over Marion's Hogenschurz, a German foreign exchange student, handling the match with an 8-3 win.
Sean Courty played at number two singles and ended the competition 3-1 to finish second overall and join Heupel as a medal winner. Courty started the day off slow, dropping a close match to Benton's Chard 8-5. However, Courty would not be denied the remainder of the day, defeating Brake of Fairfield 8-3, Renshaw of Herrin 8-6 and Allen of Marion 8-0.
In doubles action, the team of Drew Brown and Mitchell Masterson completed their division with a record of 3-1 to finish second. The team scored wins against Benton (8-2), Fairfield (8-4) and Marion (8-6) before losing to Herrin 8-6.
The doubles team of Steven McPeek and Zack Ward, both first year players for the Bulldogs, finished their division 1-3 for the day, capturing their only win against Fairfield in a tiebreaker. The duo had respectable scores during the day, dropping matches to Benton 8-5, Herrin 8-3 and Marion 8-4.
"I'm really proud of the way our team played in the tournament," said Chris Courty, head coach for the Bulldogs. "The team all played hard and we endured some cold temperatures during the day. Noah (Heupel) was really strong for us in singles. A lot of these guys have been practicing a lot, even outside of our team practices and it's showing."
The CWCHS Bulldogs travel back to Fairfield Tuesday, April 30 (today) for the first of five matches this week. They will be back on the road to Benton Wednesday followed by a home match against Mt. Carmel Thursday, away at Massac County on Friday and will finish up the week hosting Benton on Saturday.

I'm remembering that in the first game there were quite a few women that Geralt could pursue. So far I've only found Triss as a romantic prospect in the second game. Are there any others?
in chapter 1, in basement of the tavern 2nd room. There are 4 of them.
in chapter 2, Brothel(tents) outside Kaedweni camp near Blue stripes encampment. Talk to madame and she will offer you to choose between her 5 prostitutes.
Note: almost all prostitutes have unique "introduction" scene.However the sex scenes are shared between them,game randomly picks animation out of few possible one and plays it with the corresponding prostitute model.
Triss in chapter 1, on the quest The Rose of Remembrance.
Ves in chapter 2 (roche's path),on the quest "Ave Henselt!" after you defeat all opponents in the arena.
Mottle in chapter 2 (Ioverth's path), if you saved her from burning building in chapter 1 she will be in front the western entrance to the Vergen.
Succubus in chapter 2 (Ioverth's path), on the quest "With Flickering Heart".
Cynthia in chapter 3 (Ioverth's path), on the quest "The Secrets of Loc Muinne". Available only if you have "Enhanced Edition" of the game.
There are also some independent nude cutscenes:
Baroness LaVallette If you killed Arayan LaVallette in prologue then during the prison escape if you go through the floor hatch in one of the first cells after you get loose you will find her topless and about to be tortured.
Phillipa in chapter 2 (Ioverth's path), in Vergen there are 2 scenes with her and her "apprentice",inside her house.
Saskia in chapter 2 (Ioverth's path), on the quest in the harpy den if you collect all crystals and watch them on projector Saskia will appear naked in a dream of some dwarf.
Detailed guide with conversation options
As you mentioned there is Triss in the first chapter. If you follow Roche's path there is also Ves in chapter 2. You have to fight in the Arena and win all the fights to pursue her.
Iorveth's path features a sidequest called "Of Flickering Heart", where, if you side with the Succubus, first Dandelion, and then Geralt get down with the mystic critter (and gets you drunk to boot).
Also on Iorveth's path, if you save the elven women from burning alive at the end of Chapter 1, you can find one elf woman just outside of Vergen that offers herself as thanks for rescuing her.
And there are of course the ladies of negotiable affection in the first two chapters.
Spoiler alert: I don't know about romance, but when it comes to full digital nudity then if you follow Ioerveth's path there's a Succubus, the elf you saved in chapter 1 and there are always the hookers...
So about a third of the options you had in the original.
I know you do Triss.... If you follow Iorveth's path, there's the Succubus, Mottle, Cynthia, also, when you reach Roche's encampment, there's a "working woman's" tent where you have the choice of five ladies.

ANDERSON, S.C. – A late Trojan rally was not enough as hot-shooting Lincoln Memorial slipped past Anderson, 77-74, in South Atlantic Conference men's basketball action Wednesday night at the Abney Athletic Center.
Trailing by double digits with less than six minutes remaining in the contest, Anderson (9-4, 4-3 SAC) trimmed the deficit to just two with 48.5 seconds on the clock, but was unable to complete the comeback, as 15th-ranked Lincoln Memorial (10-1, 6-1 SAC) earned a split of the season series and claimed sole possession of the top spot in the league standings. The Railsplitters also avenged their lone setback of the season, suffered at the hands of the Trojans in late November.
"[Lincoln Memorial] executed well and they made plays," said Anderson head coach Jason Taylor. "To get outplayed and outrebounded like we did and still have a chance to win was a positive."
Senior guard Chandler Hash scored a team-high 25 points, including 20 in the opening half, while junior guard Myson Jones added 14 points. Senior guard CJ Gleaton, who has reached double figures in four of the last five games, tallied 13 points and shared team-high rebounding honors with five. Freshman Tony Dargan netted a season-high seven points and pulled down five rebounds in 17 minutes of action.
LMU forward Vincent Bailey led all scorers with 24 points, while teammate Lorenza Ross chipped in 17 points. Redshirt junior Keenan Peterson posted a double-double with 12 points and a dozen boards. Redshirt freshman Luquon Choice posted 10 points and five rebounds.
A slow start proved costly for Anderson, as the Railsplitters went 11-of-16 (68.8 percent) from the field, including 2-of-3 from beyond the arc in the opening nine minutes of the contest to build a 25-8 advantage. On the other end of the court, the Trojans connected on just three of their first 10 shots.
But the AU defense stepped up and the offense came alive over the next five-plus minutes, as the Trojans posted a 12-2 run and the Railsplitters came up empty on eight of their next nine possessions. Gleaton sparked the rally with a traditional three-point play to pull AU within 25-11, as the Trojans scored nine unanswered points as part of the run. Junior center Chris Ross capped the outburst with one-of-two from the line to pull Anderson within 27-20 with 5:49 left in the first half.
Lincoln Memorial rebuilt the double-digit advantage and held a 40-33 halftime lead after Hash drained a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Gleaton opened the second frame with another traditional three-point play to trim the LMU lead to just four, but it was as close as the Trojans would get until the final two minutes of the contest. Bailey's layup midway through the final half gave the Railsplitters their largest lead of the stanza, at 60-46, but the Trojans again countered with eight unanswered points. Sophomore center Steven Faust notched an old-fashioned three-point play, with Dargan knocking down a trey and DJ McGowan finishing the surge with a jumper.
The Trojans stayed within striking distance and chipped away at yet another double-digit deficit with Gleaton's driving layup with 48.5 seconds remaining pulling AU within 71-69. The Trojans nearly came up with a defensive stop on LMU's next possession, but the Railsplitters were able to get a timeout and coming out of the break, Ross connected on his third trey of the night from the right side to push the LMU edge back to five with 14.8 seconds left.
Hash's two free throws five seconds later were offset by Lincoln Memorial's 3-of-4 from the line over the next few moments and Myson Jones' long 3-pointer with less than five ticks on the clock set the margin at 77-74. The Trojans sent LMU's Paul Woodson to the line with 0.7 seconds left and the strategy paid dividends when the redshirt freshman misfired on both ends of a double bonus, but Gleaton's desperation heave at the buzzer was off the mark.
Anderson will look to get back in the win column when the Trojans play host to SAC-newcomer Coker on Saturday in the first meeting between the two squads since the 2009-10 season when they were members of Conference Carolinas. Tip-off is scheduled for 4 p.m. at the Abney Athletic Center.

Good day!
I am a little bit confused. I want to use a calendar so I searched it in the internet and encountered the following code:
Ca1endar c = Calendar.getlnstance();
c.set(2011,2, 5,1,25);
But I learned that this is a static method:
How come I can get the Instance of the Calendar(Abstract Class) if the method called is static?
I really want to understand it. So next time I can also create a Static method that can create an instance.
Thank you.

Jack Dempsey/Associated Press
ENGLEWOOD � He�s shown plenty of arm strength and an ability to bounce back after a hard hit. Now, Peyton Manning and the rest of the Denver Broncos� sputtering offense need to work out the kinks.
In seven drives with Manning under center, they�ve scored just one touchdown and turned the ball over four times.
�We�re just lucky it�s preseason,� wide receiver Brandon Stokley said. �We�ll get back to work, and we�ll work hard, like we�ve worked this whole offseason and training camp, and we�ll get better.�
The good news is that it�s the offense that�s flimsy, not his neck or arm.
Manning is deciphering defenses as well as ever, getting the ball out as quickly as he always has, and he almost always makes the right read. He�s completed 67 percent of his passes, and the Broncos are moving the chains better than they ever did with Tim Tebow.
There�s still lots of work to do.
Five months into his comeback in Colorado, Manning�s timing with his targets isn�t where he�d like it to be. And the three teammates he has the most rhythm with � wide receiver Eric Decker and former Colts teammates Stokley and Jacob Tamme � all have made big blunders in the Broncos� two preseason games.
Stokley rounded out a route that led to an interception at the goal line in Chicago, and Decker and Tamme dropped passes that stalled a promising 2-minute drive inside the Seattle 10.
�It�s frustrating not to be able to finish,� Manning said.
All three of his intended targets took the blame, as did tight end Joel Dreessen for a ball that sailed way over his head and easily was picked off by Seahawks safety Jeron Johnson.
�I�ve got to find a way to make that catch, honestly,� Dreessen said. �I kind of stuck my hand up there, and I was like, �I don�t know if I can reach it.� I looked like I gator-armed it.�
Manning�s other interception Saturday night came when left guard Zane Beadles failed to engage defensive end Red Bryant, who reached both hands up and deflected Manning�s pass into the arms of linebacker K.J. Wright at the Seattle 9.
Ever the gentleman, Manning upbraided only himself.
�At the end of the day, they�re interceptions,� Manning said. �The quarterback signs the check on every ball he throws. There�s an old saying that the most important part of every play is to possess the ball at the end of that play. That�s the quarterback�s job. I have to do a better job of that.�
So for all those radio callers finding fault with Manning, he�s with you.
�Two interceptions. Two in the red zone, two weeks in a row. Just can�t have it,� Manning said. �Tipped balls, whatever it is. Can�t have it. Got to find a way to protect the ball better, ensure we get some kind of points when we�re down there in the red zone.�
Coach John Fox appreciates that accountability.
�You get in that position, and you get the fingers pointed at yourself when things don�t go the right way, that�s kind of the right way to point fingers,� Fox said. �And so, he gets that. I think that�s who he is, and that does help spread throughout the football team.�
The Broncos (1-1) hope to clean things up Sunday night against San Francisco (1-1) in what is expected to be Manning�s final dress rehearsal for the Sept. 9 opener against Pittsburgh.
Despite all the hiccups, there are some positives as Manning makes his comeback from a nerve injury in his neck that sidelined him all of last season and led to his departure from Indianapolis in March. He�s completed 20 of 30 passes for 221 yards, and Saturday night he showed the no-huddle offense at altitude can be the Broncos� calling card.
Manning played the entire first half and gave the Broncos a 10-9 lead at the break despite three turnovers. He looked great on a 2-minute drive, but that stalled when Tamme dropped a wide-open touchdown pass 6 seconds before halftime after a drop by Decker and a 15-yard penalty on center J.D. Walton.
�You try to get it out of your system before the season starts,� Decker said. �It�s a good time to work out the kinks.�
And to get the chemistry just right.
�It�s still a work in progress,� Stokley said. �We know that, and we�re working hard every day in practice trying to be perfect, and that�s what good offenses do.
�It takes time. We�re trying to get there.�

Area high school football preview capsules
Here are previews of local high school football teams in various leagues:
2012 records: 2-1 SCC Division I-East, 6-4 overall
Head coach: Don Drust (2nd season, 6-4).
Assistant coaches: Rich Pulisciano, assistant head coach, offense; Joe Krutz, offense; John Bowman, OL-DL; Phil Bowman, WR-DB; Isaiaha Boddie, RB-LB; Matt Clason, Ol-DL; Brian Perry, RB-LB; Josh Colburn, strength and conditioning.
Key players: Joe Strollo (Sr., captain, OL-DL), Mark Dietrich (Sr., captain, WR-DB), Owen Rockwell (Sr., captain, WR-DB), Anthony Carbone (Sr., RB-DB), Cullen Claremont (OL-DL), Jack Cunningham (Jr., RB-DB), Matt Covel (TE-DL), Tyler D'Errico (Jr., OL-LB), Tucker Ecke (Jr., QB-DB), Will Eddy OL-DL), Connor Fountain (Jr., OL-LB), Josh Fournier (Sr., WR-DB), Jake Green (OL-DL), Raymond Harasz (WR-DB), Dan Lisath (Sr., DL), Josh McNiven (Sr., QB-DB), Tony Marcucilli (Jr., RB-DB), Matt McHugh (Sr., OL-DL), Michael Milici (Sr., WR-DB), Tyler Pisano (Sr., OT-NG), Colin Thorne (Jr., TE-LB), Matt D'Andrea (So., PK), Gabe Vega (Sr., RB-LB-P), Andrew Yamin (Jr., RB-WR-LB),
Key graduation losses: Vincent Sansone, QB-DB; Sam Pascale, RB-SS; Matt Escoto, OL-DL; Matt Gardiner, OL-LB; Colin Harding, OL-LB, Beau Bartone, WR-DB, Tim Covel, WR-DE, Erik Pierson, RB-DB, Kyle Hodgdon, TE-LB; Tyler Sheehan, RB-LB.
Drust's take: "We have a lot of returning players who gained a lot of experience last season."
Jaffman's take: The Rams handled the coaching change last year from longtime coach Mark Ecke to Drust, a former Cheshire player and assistant coach, on an interim basis. Drust was given the permanent job during last season and the second year has begun smoothly. The running game and offensive line, anchored by three-year starting center Joe Strollo, are strong points and so is the defensive front, where Strollo plays at defensive end. Jack Cunningham and Andrew Yamin are a dynamic duo. The schedule is always tough in the SCC. The nonleague opponent in Week 1 at Ridgefield will be a true measuring stick on where the Rams are headed.
2012 record: 7-3 overall, Pequot Conference.
Head coach: Scott Salius (6th season, 35-18).
Assistant coaches: Dan Jones, QB-LB; Bob McCarthy, RB-DB; Jeff Rines, OL-DL; Chris Salius, OL-DL; Mark Douglass, WR-DB.
Key players: John Lippincott (Sr., captain, QB-FS), Tony Ortiz Jr. (Sr., captain, RB-LB); Nick Pedrolini (Sr., captain, WR), Ryan Ott (Sr., captain, LB), Matt Nieves (Jr., FB-LB), Mitchell Jackson (Sr., OT), Adam Issa (Sr., LB), Seth Dayton (Sr., WR- CB), Aiden Tellier (Jr., FB-LB), Paxton Lewis-Franklin (Jr., TE-DL), Joe Colombie (So., C-LB), Kyle Kulinski, (So., OL-DL), Ben Schiffer (So., WR-DB), Tucker Kreh (So., WR-DB), Tony Malarney (Jr., DL), Nick Mussen (Sr., DL-LB).
Key graduation losses: John Ambrozaitis, WR-DB-K; Jim Schmitz, C-DL; Sean Bruey, OL-DL; Kyle Gain (OL-LB); Tom Casey, TE; Nick Sullivan, WR.
Salius' take: "GN has the potential to be competitive in all of our games. How competitive will depend on the development of the line and the ability to stay healthy."
Jaffman's take: Being able to capitalize on the talents of Ortiz, Lippincott and returning skill players like Dayton, Pedrolini and Lewis-Franklin should give the Yellowjackets a lot of offensive punch. The offensive line does not have to be great, just good enough to open holes and give Lippincott time. He is among the best all-around players in the Pequot Conference. A lot of experience returns at linebacker while the line depth may be an issue. The team can reach the postseason, but must not turn the ball over like it did in critical moments in games over the past two seasons that curtailed that quest.
2012 record: 0-10, Pequot conference.
Head coach: Deron Bayer (7th season, 21-40).
Assistant coaches: Roger Ouellette; defensive coordinator; Mike Brenner, athletic trainer; Doug Richardson, OL-DL; Mike Izzi; RB-DB.
Key players: Jeremy Stiewing (Sr., RB-DB), Steven Kopcho (Sr., RB-LB), Lenny Weaver (Sr., RB-LB), Matt Orell (Sr., OL-DL), Tyler Sebben (Jr., RB-DB), Tyler Pilch (Jr., RB-LB), Tom Hatcher (Sr., OL-DL), Chance Oniel (Jr., RB-LB), Tyler Washburn (Jr., OL-DL), Ted Perotti (So., OL-DL), Rob Whipple (Sr., RB-DB).
Key graduation losses: Mark Wildman; All-State, All-Pequot; Matt McElhone, DE; John Haddon, RB-LB; Matt Perotti, RB-DB; Anthony Zucco; RB-DB; Doug Whipple; RB-DB; Shawn Cullmer, TE-DE; Erik Kenniston, OL-DL.
Of note: The Mountaineers have several ex-players currently playing football in college. They include Mark Wildman (Western Connecticut), Donyell Williams (Western New England), Jake Foley (Nichols), Will Perotti (Plymouth State).
Bayer's take: "Our numbers are low, but the kids are working very hard and are committed to having a good season."
Jaffman's take: Stiewing and Kopcho can both pass and run and are capable of making big plays. Stiewing, a three-sport athlete and aspiring college lacrosse midfielder, is probably a better defender than he is on offense. That will help the Mountaineers, who need to sharpen up their defense. Scoring points and having sustained drives will be essential for this team, especially early on. With the lack of depth, they can't afford to get too far behind in games and be forced to play catch-up.
2012 record: 0-10, Pequot Conference.
Head coach: Jose Santana (first season).
Assistant coaches: Mike Guy, defensive coordinator; Mark Tyler, assistant offensive coordinator; Mike Burke, OL-DL; Nick Macri, JV, freshmen; volunteer Phil Kennedy, DE-DL; volunteer Michael Watts, freshmen-JV.
Key players: Cam McHale Sr., captain, LG-MLB), Dominic Jankowski (Sr., captain, TE-DE), Max Stone (Sr., captain, RB-FS), Trevor Watts (Sr., captain, WR-FS), Keith Millum (Sr., LT-DT), Dan Rinkus (Sr., C-DE), Collin Thorn (Sr., QB).
Key graduation losses: Russell Lesage, OG-DL; Dale Matuszek, FB-ILB.
Santana's take: "The team's strength is their positive and confident outlook. We believe this to be a breakout year for the program, above .500."
Jaffman's take: Santana, an assistant coach with the Spartans in 2012, succeeds Greg Todd, now an assistant at Crosby. Santana previously coached at Hartford Public, Windsor High and at Becker College. The Spartans' program has been dealing with plenty of coaching changes since 2010 (Peter Flammia (2010), Todd (2011-12) and now Santana. The Spartans have 45 members, including a very good number at the freshmen level at 22. They have depth at skilled positions. What they need is consistency and early success, which will bode well for the future and help them achieve their ultimate goal. Offensively, they will bring a balance between run and pass. Max Stone provides speed and toughness. On defense, McHale is the hard-nosed, vocal leader.
2012: 2-8, Pequot Conference.
Head coach: John Oko (5th year overall, 3rd varsity season, 2-20).
Assistant coaches: Chris Martinelli, defensive Coordinator-LB-WR; John Stolle OL-DL; Rob Burke, RB-DB; Wes Schivera, OL-LB.
Key players: Nick Uberti (Sr., captain, RB-LB) Christian Metallo (Sr., QB-DB), Anthony Adams (Sr., captain, LB), Mark Violette (Sr., RB-DB), Kevin Wheeler (Sr., captain, OG), R.J. Burke (Jr., OG-LB), Nick Bordierre (Sr., captain, RB-LB) (3 year starter both ways), Troy Swanson (Sr., WR-LB), Elijah Gonillo (Jr., OT-NG), Troy Hardisty (Jr., WR-LB), Albi Ceciki (Sr., DT), Jon Gombos (Jr., FB-DT), Tyler Grant (Jr., RB-DB), Kevin Young (So., OT-LB).
Oko's take: "We are experienced at the skilled positions on both sides of the ball. On the offensive and defensive lines we have some experience returning but lack of size and depth is a serious concern."
Jaffman's take: An 8-7 win over Ellington last year and the 26-14 win Thanksgiving over Lewis Mills were steppingstone moments for the program, which is finally getting on track after seeing the varsity program get off the ground, then suspended by a lack of numbers for two seasons, and then reinstated in 2011. The change in the Pequot Conference to three divisions should favor Nonnewaug compared to past years. Running back Nick Uberti is sidelined until mid-October with a right leg injury, sustained in the first scrimmage. They have several quality offensive skilled players, including Metallo, a three-year starting quarterback, who can pass effectively. The Chiefs have utilized a flex, wishbone option offense in past and are moving to a spread set to use the speed and quickness and pass catching abilities of Bordierre and Violette. Bordierre is a two-way, three-year starter.
2012 record: 2-1, Patriot Division, 8-2 overall, South-West Conference.
Head coach: Joe Stochmal (7th season, 21-30).
Assistant coaches: Charlie Rizzio, defensive coordinator; Bob Kelo, offensive coordinator; Joe Gumbrewicz, special team coordinator; Lu Diaz, head frosh; Josh Harris, assistant freshmen.
Key players: Kyle Chudoba (Sr., captain, QB-DB), Chris VanKamerik (Sr., WR-DB), Kevin Loschiavo (Sr., captain, WR-DB), Marcus Esteves (Sr., RB-LB), Steve Persson (Sr., RB-DB), Jeff Haney (Sr., captain, FB-LB), Justin Hanna (Sr., OL-DL), Dan Carbonaro (Sr., OL-DL). Kyle Sastrum (Sr., OL-DL), Eric Jensen (Sr., TE-DL), Dan Trombetta (Sr., RB-LB).
Key graduation losses: Brennen Diaz, QB-S; Bucky Gumbrewicz, OG-DT.
Of note: The Wolverines narrowly missed out on the Class S playoffs last year in only their fifth year as a varsity program.
Stochmal's take: "We are getting healthy and in better condition and shape. That is going to be very important because seven of our eight returning starters are two-way players."
Jaffman's take: The loss of All-SWC and All-State selection quarterback Brennen Diaz and All-SWC lineman Bucky Gumbrewicz will be hard to replace. They brought leadership and clutch performances and everyone rallied around them. Who will be the new leaders? Loschiavo, Chudoba and Haney can handle the roles and the team has enough talent and experience around them to reach their goals of playing for a postseason berth and a league playoff championship in the final season in the SWC before moving over to the NVL in 2014. VanKamerik, a 2012 All-Stater, is as good a playmaker as there is in Greater Waterbury and likely the state. Chudoba was the winning pitcher in the Class S baseball final for the Wolverines. Persson, Esteves and Haney are a solid backfield unit.
2012 record: 1-9, Constitution State Conference.
Head coach: Nick Aprea (2nd season, 1-9).
Assistant coaches: John Mihalko, defensive coordinator, OL; Todd Pagano WR-DB
Key players: Jason Diotalevi (Sr., captain, TE-MLB), Tristan Carder (Sr., capta in, WR-DB), Nick Coppola (Sr., WR-DB), Elijah Woodley (Sr., OT), Vinny Provenzano (Jr., QB), Drew House (Jr., RB-LB), Devin Bacchiocchi (Jr., RB-LB), Giani Krajewski (Jr., WR).
Key graduation losses: Steven Sabanski, OL; Joe Fernandes, WR-DB.
Aprea's take: "We'll be as good as our young, inexperienced line takes us. We have more skilled athletes in the third year of the program. I expect to move this program in the right direction and this year should be a step in that direction."
Jaffman's take: Nick Coppola is a third-year starter at quarterback. House, Bacchiocchi, Diotalevi and Carder all started last year. Provenzano is sidelined four to six weeks with an injury. Bacchiocchi will carry the ball a lot and so will House, not the biggest kid, but a very hard-nosed player. Diotaveli gives Coppola a big tight end target who is also quickfooted. Carder is a dependable receiver as is Krajewski. The Condors should be able to score points.
2012 record: 1-2 Colonial Division, 4-6 overall, South-West Conference.
Head coach: David Roach (3rd season, 12-8).
Assistant coaches: Tony Pereira, defensive coordinator; Steve Prajer, offensive coordinator; Art Blais, OL; JV; Kevin Maxen, linebackers, JV; Ed Johannes, defensive line; Rob Mazuroski, head freshmen; Tom Teta, assistant freshmen.
Key players: Jack Yule (Sr., captain, FB-MLB), Nico Rosa (Sr., captain, OT-DE), Sam Rubinstein (Sr., captain, WR-DB), Wade Prajer (Jr., QB), Jake Parsell (Jr., OG), Matt Silverman (Sr., OLB), Steve Croce (Jr., WR-DB), Seamus Conway (Sr. OG), Mike Foschi (Jr., OLB), Troy Sulilvan (Jr., NT), Mike Curcio (Jr., RB), Bob Tzepos (Sr., RB-LB), Ian Rawlinson (Sr., DB). Derek Lapke (Sr., C),
Key graduation losses: Eric Beatty, K-QB; Jesse Prajer DE, All-Conference; Carl Gatzendorfer, WR-CB; Corey Baker, OG.
Roach's take: "The guys have been working hard in the offseason to put themselves in a position to be successful. Lifting does not always guarantee wins, but it also builds confidence. A confident player leads to a confident team ... which will always be a tough team to beat."
Jaffman's take: Jack Yule will be the run stopper on defense along with Troy Sullivan. Defense will be critical for the Panthers, who are going to use their running game by moving the chains and getting four to five yards a clip. According to Roach, they are not going to 'wow' teams with a quick-strike offense, but they are going to be efficient. Prajer played in a limited capacity last year at quarterback but is ready to take over the huddle. He's a steady player. Croce, the younger brother of former Holy Cross standout QB Mike Croce and the ex-Panthers and Gunnery QB Kellen Croce. Croce has great knowledge of the game, quickness to find a seam in the secondary and very soft hands.
2012 record: 4-0, CCC Division I West Champions, 10-1 overall, Class LL quarterfinalist.
Head coach: Mike Drury (3rd season, 16-5).
Assistant coaches: Chuck Drury, offensive coordinator; Dan Plant, head JV, DL; Kevin Frederick, WR; Nate Pryzbeck, DB; Rob Thomson, defensive coordinator; Garry Coles, WR; Dan Bird, DL; Brian Durbin, strength and conditioning.
Key players: Stephen Barmore (Sr., captain, QB/FS), Tyler Hyde (Sr., captain, RB-S), Alex Jamele (Jr. WR/FS), Jasen Rose (So., WR), Zach Maxwell (Sr., captain, TE-RB-DE); Joe Daigle (Sr., WR), Jim Nardi (Sr., captain, OL) Sal Conti (Sr., OL), Carlos Gil (Sr., OL), Jon Rauch (Sr, OL), Joe D'Agostino (Sr., OL), Noah MacDonald (Jr., OL), Zak Jamele (Sr., LB), Mike Lange (Sr., DB), Matt Maxwell (Jr., DB), Matt Thomson (Jr., LB), Steve Hamel (Jr., LB), Dan Williams: Line (Jr., DL).
Key losses: Nick Spitz, LB; Justin Rose, LB; Travis Clark, OL; Travis Daly, (OL; Josh Irizarry, OL; Corbin Garry, WR-FS; Anthony Bonefant, WR-DB; Nathan Bonenfant, WR-DB.
Drury's take: "We also have several 1st year starters and underclassmen who are going to have to step up and fill big roles for our team this year."
Jaffman's take: Stephen Barmore is as good a quarterback as there is in the CCC and in the state. Getting the college decision out of the way with his verbal commitment to Yale in July should help ease his mind this season. He has plenty of playmakers to work with. But in the spread offense, Barmore is capable of making this happen with his feet, too. He's strong and willing to run. Much of the preseason has been spent on defense, considering the league has gotten stronger and opposing teams will be looking to knock off the reigning league champion. Mike Drury is on solid ground as he enters his third season at the helm. His dad, Chuck, the ex-Pomperaug coach, is right by his side and the two work extremely well together.
2012 record: 2-8, Constitution State Conference.
Head coach: Jamie Coty (6th season, 3-48).
Assistant coach: Jennifer Stango, special teams, WR-DB.
Key players: Asante Malden (Sr., captain, RB-DB), Kevin Crispin (Sr., captain, RB-DE), Mickey Ross (Jr., captain, QB-DB), Brent Rainville (Jr., LB), Anton Dizdec (So., WR), Christian Berti (Sr., TE).
Key graduation losses: Shane Celone, OL-LB, Cody Dallavalle, OL-DE, Mike Sullivan, RB-DB.
Coty's take: "We are looking to at least finish .500 this year. After winning two games last year and losing a couple close ones, the kids have the confidence."
Jaffman's take: Coty and Stango are the only coaches this year. Stango is the only female football coach in Connecticut history ... The Wildcats are a young team with 45 kids, but only five seniors, so the future looks bright. Malden, a four-year starter, is a powerful runner who will lower his shoulder and not avoid contact. The running backs have a simple philosophy to be the hammer, not the nail. Crispin is the more shifty-type of back, as his good footwork makes up for his lack of speed. A three-year starter at quarterback, Mickey Ross can throw on the run. He has poise and commands respect in the huddle.

A natural gas transmission line exploded in a rural Louisiana community about 70 miles north of New Orleans, knocking out power and causing area residents to be evacuated, local authorities said.
By ALISON SIDER
A natural gas transmission line exploded in a rural
Louisiana community about 70 miles north of New Orleans,
knocking out power and causing area residents to be evacuated,
local authorities said.
A large mushroom cloud and fire erupted from the line
following the explosion at around 5:00 a.m., said Lauren
Ritchie, a spokesman for the Washington Parish Sheriff's
The line, owned by Florida Gas Transmission, carries natural
gas from Texas along the Gulf Coast through Louisiana and into
It appears no one was injured or killed in the blast. The
Governor's Office of Homeland Security and Emergency
Preparedness said 55 people were evacuated from a one-mile
area, and Ms. Ritchie said the explosion knocked out power to
the small rural community of Plainview.
One mobile home was destroyed in the fire, but the woman who
lives there were able to escape, Ms. Ritchie said.
The explosion comes on the heels of fatal explosions at two
different chemical plants outside of Baton Rouge last week.
It's not yet clear what caused the explosion outside of
Franklinton the Governor's office said the gas fire is
extinguished but nearby trees are still burning. Ms. Ritchie
said state and federal responders are waiting for the area to
become safe before going in to investigate.
Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Florida Gas, said the
affected section of the 5,500 mile line has been shut in, and
natural gas is being rerouted. The incident won't have any
impact on the company's deliveries, she said.
The Florida Gas Transmission pipeline is a joint venture
between Kinder Morganand Energy Transfer Partners.

Somebody somewhere is not doing his job properly.Strict implrmentation of all rules and regulations is required.Detailed investigation of accident is required for preventing similar accidents in future.

In my opinion, the frequency of accidents, explosions, fires, etc in the oil&gas industry denotes poor engineering, compared with engineering performed until 10 -15 years ago.Always in my opinion, this is caused by an improper use of computers software, that facilitate calculations but put to sleep "thinking".

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

Quick easy question: what is the meaning of the symbol $(\space\space )$. I've seen it now in two papers, one of which is Milgram's Group Representations and the Adams Spectral Sequence, avaiable at here.
On the top of page 170, Milgram writes $\partial(\space\space) \to S^k\vee S^k\to S^k\to v$
I figure if I knew what was meant by mathematical colloquialism "$\partial(\space \space)$", interpereting this part of the paper would be easy enough, I'm just not sure wht it means.

School of Social Sciences, the directors of doctoral programs and
specializations, and faculty representatives appointed by the school
Deans. The UGC monitors the coherence and alignment of PhD requirements
and procedures and inquires about the particular academic needs of
doctoral students and about the quality of the scholarship evident in
the research conducted by doctoral candidates.

director of the Educational Studies program. Its work includes the
review and evaluation of policies governing doctoral work within the

University are named for a three-year term. Membership consists of the
coordinators of the three program specializations and other appointees
named by the dean of the Graduate School of Education.
