2009 Grand National Roadster Show - The Granddaddy of Them All Just Got OlderWritten by on July 1, 2009 The Grand National Roadster Show Turns 60
The Grand National Roadster Show, aka the GNRS, the Oakland Roadster Show, or the "Pomoakland" Roadster Show to some since the show moved south from the Bay Area to Pomona, California, six years ago, is also the granddaddy of all shows. To those that don't know, the GNRS is the longest running indoor car show in the country and celebrated its 60th year in 2009. Having over 500 entries under one roof is no small feat, and one that can only be understood by witnessing it first hand.
For those who are into hot rod and custom heritage, there were over 100 vehicles that had been entered in the show over the last six decades on hand. Many have been well preserved since, some restored, and some were untouched by a shop, but heavily touched by time. There are always famous vehicles on display and this year featured Speed Racer's Mach 5, the Muster Coach, the Dukes of Hazard General Lee, and Ed Roth's recently discovered and restored Orbitron. There were also cars owned by guitarist Michael Anthony and celebrity Tim Allen.
For a break from the vehicles, you could also meet TV personalities like the Fonz (Henry Winkler) and Joanie Cunningham (Erin Moran) from Happy Days. Plenty of vendors were on hand to satisfy your shopping needs, from hat pins to complete steel roadster pickup bodies, and of course good food like the infamous Pink's Hot Dogs. On Saturday and Sunday the Drive In is open, where you can bring your own classic truck or car to park and show off between the buildings.
While you are at the show, you must make a point to visit the NHRA Museum on the same grounds. There is a tremendous amount of historical photos, drag cars, hot rods, performance, parts, jackets, helmets, stories, and much more on display, some permanent and some ever changing.
So plan a trip to Pomona, California, next January if you haven't already to witness the GNRS for yourself. For more show details including entrant information, call 877-ROD-SHOWS or go to www.rodshows.com.

This year's big surprise for us and many others was Kirk Johnson's '68 Ford F-100, which took First in the '57-72 Full Pickup class! We almost fell over when we first laid eyes on this beautiful Bumpside. Stay tuned for a full feature on the '68 built by NorCal's Roseville Rod & Custom.Helen and Richard Fripp had their '38 Chevy truck on full display. The couple from Reno, NV, took Second Place in the Full Rod Pickup '35-47 class.First Place in the same early class went to Dave and Betty Patterson's drop-dead Viper Red '37 Chevy truck. Heathcoat Fabrication in Apple Valley, CA, are responsible for the '37 looking so good. There is a 350/700-R4 combo under the split hood and a 9-inch out back.Mister Cartoon's infamous Ice Cream Truck was on display and certainly made an impression on many onlookers. The '63 International has literally countless hours into the paintjob alone by Marios Auto Works, not to mention the additional time spent by Cartoon airbrushing it!The owner of Heathcoat Fabrication, Brent, had his '41 Ford on display in a mild-mannered, but classy gloss black. The Ford is certainly a good calling card for the shop with its arrow-straight body, detailed 3/4 race Flathead, and perfect chrome.It hadn't happened for many years at the GNRS, but for this big anniversary you could watch a '33 American Speed HOTROD be built over the three days spanning the show. From frame on Friday to a finished car on Sunday, it was certainly a spectacle to behold.Eddie Tovar from Hawaiian Gardens, CA, had his '54 Chevy in the show. The recent feature truck has a long history with the Tovar family and impressed those who got a first-hand look.Al Carr had his '46 Ford all decked out in full show display style with two of the wheels off, door, and hood open. While we try not to take pictures of trucks opened up like a Swiss Army knife, it was kind of tough this weekend.
And talk about history! Anyone who hasn't heard of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth needs to go back to Hot Rod and Custom 101. Roth built the Orbitron in '64 and the prolific car somehow made its way to Mexico in the '90s, only to fall into total disarray. It was recently found by Michael Lightbourn and restored back to its original glory. It was truly an experience to stand next to it with nary a velvet rope to come between us.One of the many buildings housing show entrants was dedicated to remembering our departed hot rod forefathers, and Li'l John Butera was no exception. Butera was an innovator and left this world just after his good friend Boyd Coddington last year. On display were his modified, the Model T sedan, The Mongoose's Funny Car, and many more.The Li'l Nugget was entered in the GNRS back in 1962-1963. Jerami Schoeman is the F-100's current "caretaker". The '56 still wears the original Larry Watson gold metalflake paintjob and a highly sought after Eddie Martinez interior, complete with a TV and phone.Out in the Suede Palace was the Gambino Kustoms shop truck. The wild F-100 is chopped, dropped, shaved, and obviously sports a sensational panel paintjob. There were plenty of vehicles, vendors, and bands all weekend out in the Suede Palace.Another great tribute display was this one for Dick Dean. Dick had been chopping tops for what may seem like an eternity, and did so with great precision and style. From trucks, to hot rods, and of course customs, Dick Dean chopped them all!

Faculty Profile (Back to Menu)
Laura Cohen
Clinical Professor of Law, Justice Virginia Long Scholar, and Director of the Criminal and Youth Justice Clinic
Professor Cohen earned her B.A. summa cum laude from Rutgers College, where she was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, and her J.D. from Columbia, where she was managing editor of the Columbia Human Rights Law Review. Prior to joining the Rutgers faculty, she was the director of training for the New York City Legal Aid Society's Juvenile Rights Division, where she oversaw the attorney training program and public policy initiatives relating to child welfare and juvenile justice. She also served as Deputy Court Monitor for the U.S. District Court, District of Puerto Rico in Morales Feliciano v. Hernandez Colon, a federal class action challenging conditions of confinement in Puerto Rico's prisons; Senior Policy Analyst for the Violence Institute of New Jersey; and staff attorney for the Legal Aid Society's Juvenile Rights Division in the Bronx.
Professor Cohen has written on topics ranging from juvenile justice and parole to legal ethics and lawyering theory, with a particular focus on the legal representation of adolescents. In 2013, she was appointed as an expert consultant in the United States Department of Justice Civil Rights Division's investigation of alleged systemic due process violations in St Louis County, Missouri juvenile court. As a co-team leader for the New Jersey Juvenile Indigent Defense Action Network, part of the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation's Models for Change initiative, she implemented and oversees the Post-Disposition Advocacy Project, an innovative clinical program that provides legal representation to incarcerated youth. In addition, she co-directs the Northeast Juvenile Defender Center, a regional affiliate of the National Juvenile Defender Center.
Under Professor Cohen's direction, her clinic has spearheaded several important amicus curiae efforts before the New Jersey Supreme Court in juvenile justice matters. These include State in the Interest of V.A., 212 N.J. 1(2012) (imposing a higher judicial review standard of prosecutorial decisions to try juveniles in adult court) and State in the Interest of P.M.P., 200 N.J. 166 (2009) (establishing that the right to counsel attaches at the time a juvenile delinquency petition is filed).
In 2012, Professor Cohen received the MacArthur Foundation's "Champion for Change" award in recognition of her work with system-involved youth. She also is the recipient of the National Juvenile Defender Center's Robert E. Shepherd Award for Excellence in Juvenile Defense and the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey's Legal Leadership Award.

From what I've heard, God wants us to glorify him and give him praise, and he enjoys when we do this. Does God need us to do this for some reason?

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
There is a sense in which an attribute which is an action is not fully realized until it is enacted. Love isn't real without an object of affection. Forgiveness is ethereal until somebody has crossed you. Being a redeemer requires something to save.
I would not go so far as to say there was an incompleteness in God that he needed to fill ... that he had a NEED of recognition, but in there is a sense in which his had to have creatures to reveal himself to in order for all the fullness of his being to be legitimized. His Glory is glorified as it is beheld, even if it is beyond the grasp of the beholder.
I believe God is a full-on egoist in that his is fully self centered. Whatever he does he does for himself, and he expects/demands the same of others. Egoist can also have another connotation of being conceited and limited to caring about ones-self. I am not reffering to this. Being omnipotent it's impossible for God to have a delusional or exaggerated sense of self worth. If you leave out the definition of of megalomania that includes being delusional, I think it is safe to say that God is a megalomaniac in so-far as he is obsessed with his own power and importance.
He desires and will have all glory for himself. Satan tried to reach out and take this from Him, and was cast out of heaven. Man was deceived and wanted to be like God in a way that was not his place to be.
For a man, or any other being, to be an egoist is sin. All created things were made by, for and in Christ.
For any of those created things to focus on themselves rather than on the one-preeminent-being is sin. Being ego-centric is rightly considered to be a bad attribute when applied to a human, but not when speaking of God.
Being ego-centric is OK when you are The I Am. It is right for us to praise Him and serves a purpose of putting his Glory on display.
The Westminster Shorter Catechism states that "Man's chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him for ever." If that question had been about the chief end of God I would say it would read "God's chief end is to glorify Himself, and to enjoy himself for ever."
Does God need us to give him glory? No. That would also imply he needs us.
God wants us to give him glory because he is the only worthy one.
Pslam 96:4-6 (NIV) says
When we put other people/things before God, we sin because those are idols. God hates sin. God wants whats best for us so by wanting us to glorify him, he is wanting us to turn from our idols.
God does not need our praise as He is self-sufficient.
But I want to add another glitch to the discussion: We do need to glorify and honor Him.
Who do you believe the most? Yourself. So if you hear and see yourself glorifying and uplifting God, it helps changing your conception of God: He in your eyes becomes even more worthy of praise. This keeps you in a close relationship with Him and gives you the power to follow through.
So in His command God mostly thought about us, not Himself. What a great God.
God lacks and needs nothing. God has been perfectly satisfied and joyful in his own nature from all eternity. God is perfect, and God needing something implies insufficiency and imperfection.
That being said, God might be obligated (to himself) to express his glory fully, and, in a certain sense, that requires spectators. If a tree falls in a forest and there is no one to hear, does it make a sound? What would it mean if God expressed his glory with the greatest symphony or the greatest universe, if there was no-one to see it but him? In the same way, glory is not full, in some sense, without someone else to see and enjoy it.
(No, perhaps God is the only spectator that matters. Still, it does seem a logical step for an infinitely great God to express his glory to creatures.)
Once God creates people, they would be obligated to acknowledge this glory, and to do so often and with joy (as is fitting and honest). And God, if he was good, would make himself known to them, as he is the highest and only good that exists.
Along the lines of what Caleb said, for a man to be self-centered is an evil, because it robs God (the only one who actually deserves worship) of worship. But for God to promote himself is a virtue, because he is ultimately what is best for people.
He is best for people because he is infinitely glorious, because nothing else has any value besides him, and because whatever has value has value only because of him. It is the ultimate good to be united to the infinitely glorious God. For God not to promote his own interests would be the cruelest crime of all!

I find the GNOME Shell 3.6 changes to the message tray irritating. Is there a way to switch the message tray to the old model or to at least shrink the items and stop it from pushing the entire desktop when being summoned?
The new design makes the tray unusable for many apps like CherryTree, Deluge, etc. that have tray icons, as you have to wait one long second for each access! And if, by chance, the cursor of your mouse touches the desktop bottom for just a second, you'll see a nasty movement. I don't know where the gnome developers want to go with such "innovations".
However, you could change the tray behavior by editing

Joan Tower '61, one of America's preeminent composers won three Grammy Awards for her orchestral composition "Made in America." Recorded on the Naxos label by the Nashville Symphony, Leonard Slatkin conducting, the CD, Joan Tower: Made in America received awards for best Classical Album, best Orchestral Performance, and her composition "Made in America" received the Grammy for best Classical Contemporary Composition.
Speaking with the Hillsdale Independent, Tower called the 14-minute long piece her "first statement about what's happening in this country." Based on "America the Beautiful," Tower explained that the recognizable song gave her a "way in" with "Made in America" audiences. "I knew its success was going to depend on how it related to people." Opening with a variation on the familiar melody, "Made in America" eventually "caves in and leaves one screaming note, by itself." Tower says the solitary note is a statement on the overreaching government powers that came in the wake of September 11, 2001.
"Made in America was an amazing project, with 65 community orchestras in 50 states, performing the work from 2005 through 2007," Tower explained to the Daily Mail. "I was the first lucky composer to be chosen for this project. I attended 20 of these performances and conducted eight of them. It was an extraordinary experience; all of these orchestras really got involved with the project and the music, performing with a great deal of passion and commitment."
Tower has received awards from the National Endowment for the Arts, Guggenheim Foundation, New York State Council on the Arts, Koussevitsky Foundation, American Academy of Arts and Letters, and Meet the Composer/Reader's Digest. She won the prestigious Grawemeyer Award in 1990 and has received commissions from the New York Philharmonic; St. Louis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and National Symphonies; Emerson, Tokyo, and Muir Quartets; Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio; and Carnegie Hall, Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, Aspen, and LaJolla Summerfest, among many other festivals. Her CDs have been released on Naxos, Koch International, Delos, and d'Note Records. Tower was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters in 1998 and the Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2004. She was composer in residence with the St. Louis Symphony, with conductor Leonard Slatkin, from 1985 to 1988, and has been composer in residence with the Orchestra of St. Luke's since 1997. She was named the first composer for a major orchestral consortium project, sponsored by the American Symphony Orchestra League and Meet the Composer; the resultant work, Made in America, has been released on CD by Naxos. Last summer Scarecrow Press published Joan Tower: The Comprehensive Bio-Bibliography by Ellen K. Grolman. Tower, who is also on the faculty of The Bard College Conservatory of Music, has taught at Bard College since 1972.

Let $X_n$ be a sequence of identically distributed (e.g., binomial $B(1,1/2)$) random variables which are not independent (say, for any $n$ and $m$, $corr(X_n,X_m)=c$).
What can be said about the limit of their mean $\sum_n X_n/N$?
Motivation: a reason price variations assumed to be Gaussian is that they are composed by allegedly independent actions of many traders. However, in reality the traders are not independent, because, e.g., they all read the same news. So, $X_n$ is best viewed as a "set", not an "ordered sequence".

I know how deeply you are imbedded in the internet.
Is it correct to use imbed here?
Is it correct to use imbed here?
The word is embedded, but it's not appropriate in that sentence. You probably need something like I know how involved you are with the internet, but it really depends on what it is you want to say.
Imbed is an alternative spelling of embed, and the relevant meaning of embed is the second sense in wiktionary's entry: "(by extension) To include in surrounding matter. [e.g.] We wanted to embed our reporter with the Fifth Infantry Division, but the Army would have none of it."
That is, the latter half of the example sentence means "are involved in the internet", "are included in the internet", or "are integrated into the internet". The general meaning of the example is "I know how deeply your activities are part of [or depend upon] the internet".
Embedded means to integrate into, like embedding a jewel in a setting or a nail in a wall perhaps (this would imply the whole thing had been hammered in). A person can not be embedded in the internet as that would imply physical enplanting - i.e. being totally surrounded physically by the internet (which is not physical).
Perhaps entranced or enmeshed or enthralled, etc.
I think you can use imbedded but if you do, strengthen the sentence by tossing out deeply. (imbed implies depth) When not used technically, embedded has taken on political connotations as in "embedded journalist". So you might want to use a relatively neutral word such as "engrossed" or "enamored".

Review: Bat For Lashes, 'The Haunted Man'
Audio for this feature is no longer available.
For all its dark and mysterious overtones, Natasha Khan's music lets rays of hope and joy leak out of every shadow. From the first song on The Haunted Man — in which the artful English pop singer, who performs under the name Bat for Lashes, exclaims, "Thank God I'm alive!" — Khan infuses her songs with grace and grandeur. Still, for all her music's soaring qualities, she spends her new album marinating in the realities of love, want and loss. Listen to the sinister, slinky "All Your Gold," about a woman who weighs the costs and benefits of marrying a man who doesn't excite her, and you'll hear a singer who knows when to douse her Technicolor canvas with shades of gray.
Bat for Lashes' third album and first since 2009's Two Suns, The Haunted Man doesn't soar to the peaks of its predecessor: It's not as infectious as "Daniel," as sumptuously pretty as "Moon and Moon," or as worldly (and otherworldly) as Khan's past work on the whole. But it's got moments that sparkle, arrangements that deftly employ worldly beats and whirring electronics, and an affecting single in "Laura," which paints a piano-driven portrait of Hollywood tragedy. Comparisons to Khan's musical predecessors are, as always, inevitable — her voice bears heavy traces of Tori Amos, Siouxsie Sioux, Portishead's Beth Gibbons and especially Kate Bush — but at least her taste is impeccable. Don't be surprised if Bat for Lashes joins their ranks among the inspirations of tomorrow.

Casey Rayl and
Scott McAndrew were in town recently (meaning Redmond, Washington, USA). They work for a company called
Terralever and have produced a really cool interactive game using Silverlight 1.1 Alpha,
Zero Gravity. They were nice enough to stop by my office for a chat about the game. Of course, if they come to my office to talk about technology then I am going to film it and put it up on Channel 9.
Here, we learn from Casey, the lead interactive developer on the Zero Gravity project, about how the game is composed, his experience with Silverlight 1.1 and, of course, his feedback for the Silverlight people (Channel 9 has always been about Authentic Transparent Communication...).
Scott used to work in DPE as a Design (or I guess it's called UX now) Evangelist. Now, he's a big shot at Terralever, running their product strategy group.
Zero Gravity is an addictive game. It's really cool that it was written in Silverlight 1.1 Alpha to boot!
Oops, something didn't work.
Vasudev wrote:Yes this is one of the coolest game. I had also posted about it and the Zero Gravity Team here.
But at present after installation of Silverlight1.0 RC, its not working as I think its based on Silverlight alpha.
Can it be tweaked to play on with all version of Silverlight?

Take care.
Same problem here both on USB keyboard and my laptops
Not using external keyboard/mouse, but it worked for me.
- Vista w/ latest updates
- IBM ThinkPad T60 (using built-in mouse/keyboard)
Pretty cool game! I also liked the idea of the password So that we can start the game where we left off (atleast level-wise, not pointwise).
Seems simple enough, but considering the platform it was built on and future capabilities, it's just amazing!
Can't wait for you to build the community around this start opening up (level editor, contests, source code!)

It's a smurf eat smurf world out there, as one Australian man recently discovered. Police in the Australian state of Victoria are looking for Papa Smurf and three of his blue disciples who are accused of committing two crimes at once.
According to police, a 37-year-old man was walking out of a 7-Eleven at 1 a.m. when he was approached by a magical creature from his childhood. But it was not Smurfberries that adorable Smurf was after, no, it was a mere cigarette. The Smurf Smurf's friends were busy hot-wiring a car, as Smurfs do.
The man, ever a friend to mythical Belgian creatures, offered the Thug Smurf a smoke. This greatly offended the Smurf however, as they only have four fingers and cannot light their own cigarettes, who proceeded to beat the man unconscious.
Police are confident they will bring the Smurf criminals to justice, thanks in part to a new recruit: a cat named Azriel.

To the editor:
Earlier this year the Concordia Year of Peace committee launched our fourth "Civility Pledge" drive asking citizens to make a commitment "to be civil in my public discourse and behavior, to be respectful of others whether or not I agree with them and to stand against incivility when I see it."
Last year, 312 people in Concordia and surrounding Cloud County signed on.
But for 2013, we wanted to spread the commitment all the way to Topeka and into our state legislature. So we asked each of our state senators and representatives as well as other state officials to sign the pledge.
We're pleased to let you know that one of your local elected officials, Rep. Melanie Meier, was among the 58 who made the commitment. She stands with all of us who believe that as we face important and complex political decisions, we need to have constructive debate that focuses on solutions rather than personal attacks. A commitment to civility allows us all to do that.
The other members of the Concordia Year of Peace Committee and I thank Rep. Meier for her commitment.

I test an application that accepts several csv files from an external system. My application loads those files in a database applies business logic to the received raw data and futher processes it. The external system test environment is often down and that hurts my testing window.
Can LISA help me in virtualizing this scenario where I can mock files (I know the file formats, data definitions). Also, does it offer a switch to jump between real and mocked feeds?

If a phone charger (or any electric adapter that is not connected to a device, for that matter) is plugged into an outlet, does unplugging it constitute any forbidden form of work, or is simply a 'muktzeh' issue? If it is a muktzeh issue, can it be unplugged and moved if the space is currently needed?
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. Join them; it only takes a minute:

Here's how it works:
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
If the charger has an indicator light it would obviously be forbidden as unplugging would extinguish it. Even if not, phone chargers utilize electricity even when the phone is not plugged in. Consequently unplugging would interrupt the flow of electricity and would most probably be forbidden on Shabbos under the general minhag/uvdin dechol prohibition of utilizing electricity.
[Those that follow the Chazon Ish would regard this as an Issur Deorasa of Soser. Menuchas Ahava 24:2, quoted here writes that since people regard electricity as fire, it is forbidden to terminate an electric current as this is perceived as extinguishing fire. This answer rules that unplugging electrical devices is forbidden on Shabbos.]

Project: P 0044(129)42 PCN # 00X9 Pennington County
Location: Jackson Boulevard (State Highway 44) from Rapid Creek to Mountain View Road in Rapid City
Improvement Type: Reconstruction
What is being built?
Jackson Blvd. and a portion of Sheridan Lake Road are being reconstructed to widen these sections of roadway and to complete utility upgrades to the water, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer.
Jackson Blvd. will be reconstructed from the Rapid Creek bridge near the Meadowbrook Golf Course to a location approximately 350 feet east of the North Mt. View Road intersection. A portion of Sheridan Lake Road will also be reconstructed beginning approximately 200 ft south of the Jackson Blvd intersection and extend north a location near Storybook Island.
In conjunction with the reconstruction of these street segments, sanitary sewer and water utilities will be upgraded. The utility portion of this project will also include some work outside the limits of the Jackson Blvd. roadway for water quality improvements near the City of Rapid City water treatment plant and the Jackson Pond area, on June Court, at the perimeter of the Creekside Professional Business complex, and on a portion of Lance Street between Lodge Street and South Mt. View Road.
Photo Album
April 2 - Status Update
The South Dakota Department of Transportation, The City of Rapid City, and Heavy Constructors have been working on Jackson Boulevard in a joint effort to reconstruct this major arterial route in Rapid City.
On Monday, April 7, crews will return to Jackson Boulevard to complete work in the eastbound lanes that include water main tie-ins, storm sewer, PCC pavement, curb and gutter, and sidewalk. In addition, work will resume at intersecting side streets, such as Lodge Street, Tepee Street, Empey, and Central Boulevard as well as the Frontage Road west of the Sheridan Lake Road intersection.
Roadway lighting adjacent to the eastbound lanes will be installed following the completion of the sidewalk in this area. New traffic signals will be installed at the 32nd/Argyle Street intersection and at the Sheridan Lake Road intersection.
On the completed sections of Jackson Boulevard, lane closures will be used to complete the sealing of the concrete pavement joints and installation of the permanent pavement markings.
The overall completion date for Jackson Boulevard is June 28th, 2014.
Weekly Project meetings are held every Thursday at 11:00 a.m. at the Rapid City Water Department, 1111 Mountain View Road. The Public is invited to attend. Meetings will resume April 3rd.
Point of contact for the public is: Sean Hogard, Project Coordinator, Heavy Constructors, Inc., (605)939-5347 email: email@example.com

The tangent bundle of a hyper-Kahler manifold gives a quadratic Lie algebra in the derived category. Can this be regarded as a simple Lie algebra according to Vogel's definition?
A point of view that came from studying Rozansky-Witten invariants is that the tangent bundle of a holomorphic symplectic manifold or hyper-Kahler manifold is a Lie algebra with a non-degenerate invariant symmetric bilinear form. Here the tangent bundle is taken as an object in the derived category and then shifted. The Atiyah class is interpreted as a Lie bracket and the Bianchi identity as the Jacobi identity. The symplectic form is interpreted as a symmetric form since we shifted. Some references are (and please add or request any reference I have omitted)
MR2024627 (2004m:57026) Roberts, Justin . Rozansky-Witten theory. Topology and geometry of manifolds (Athens, GA, 2001), 1--17, Proc. Sympos. Pure Math., 71, Amer. Math. Soc., Providence, RI, 2003.
MR2110899 (2005h:53070) Nieper-Wißkirchen, Marc . Chern numbers and Rozansky-Witten invariants of compact hyper-Kähler manifolds. World Scientific Publishing Co., Inc., River Edge, NJ, 2004. xxii+150 pp. ISBN: 981-238-851-6
MR2472137 (2010d:14020) Markarian, Nikita . The Atiyah class, Hochschild cohomology and the Riemann-Roch theorem. J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 79 (2009), no. 1, 129--143.
Now Vogel has constructed a universal simple Lie algebra. The question is whether the tangent bundle of an irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold meets Vogel's criteria for a simple Lie algebra. This question is for algebraic geometers so I will expand on this. The first condition is that End(L)=End(I) where I is the trivial representation so End(I) is the commutative ring of scalars. In this example Ext(O). This obviously fails for the product of two manifolds so I have naively excluded this by imposing the irreducible condition. The second condition is that $\mathrm{Hom}(\bigwedge^2L,L)$ is a free End(I)-module with basis the Lie bracket.
One reason I find this confusing is that End(I) has nilpotent elements whereas I am used to a field.
If the answer to both questions is Yes then we get a character of Vogel's universal ring. I would expect this to be of interest to both subjects.
Edit The paper http://arxiv.org/abs/1205.3705 has now been posted on the arxiv and this proves that $K3$-surfaces do give a character of Vogel's ring.

I'm looking for ideas for an educational toy for a 4-year-old girl. What factors should I look for?
I'll try to answer, although the question might get rephrased:
You need to take several factors into account. Consider these aspects, and they might help you narrow down your quest into something that is specific enough that you can search for items on Amazon and read some reviews.
Perhaps a small easel or blackboard is the thing. I think it encourages artistic play. I've also seen lots of wannabe-laptops for kids which I personally wouldn't buy, but obviously many people do. You could even be very advanced and get the child a small real laptop (a netbook costs around €250 these days) with childrens' programs on it (I think Ubuntu is a Linux flavor that is very well suited for this).
I do encourage you to clarify your question - perhaps this is way off the mark.

User Comments for Week 7 QB Rankings
I definitely see Fitzpatrick as a top 8 - top 10 QB this week. Great matchup and buffalo has a bad enough defense to force the offense to continue putting up points. This game has shoot out written all over it.
phonzu2 10/16/12 05:13 PM
Cam Newton or Christian Ponder
giwarriors12 10/16/12 10:57 PM
I say Cam, too much upside to sit in a game that looks more like a shoot out than Minn/Ari. Vegas set the total in Car/Dall at 46 while Minn/ari is at 40...I haven't seen the weather report yet for game day but that should be another factor you want to look at.
phonzu2 10/17/12 04:50 PM
Cam newton or Andrew Luck?
Kpierce40 10/17/12 07:15 PM
Flip a coin but I would side with Cam coming off the bye week
phonzu2 10/17/12 08:31 PM
Shaub or Freeman off waivers for week 7?
andyk1234 10/17/12 08:35 PM
Freeman and its not even close.
phonzu2 10/17/12 08:47 PM
Tough one:
ELI or RG3???
Last week I played Eli and lost, by 10 points...sigh.
edittman1 10/17/12 08:55 PM
^^ good problem to have this week! Rg3 has more upside but Eli is a better bet for solid numbers this week. I would check your matchup, if you are projected to get your butt whipped I would play RG3, if your are supposed to do the butt whooping I would choose Eli. This being the first matchup against a brutal pass rush on the road against a division rival for RG3, it would surprise me if he had a rough game
phonzu2 10/17/12 09:09 PM
It wouldn't surprise me***
phonzu2 10/17/12 09:10 PM
Good point. I did consider that. Im looking favorable. Eli prob makes sense.
Screwed up thing is i have RG3 in all 3 of my leagues, complimenting brady, eli, and brees. Been trying to trade him off, but no one bites. It then leaves me in a screwed up spot on a game time decision! Sigh.
edittman1 10/17/12 09:21 PM
I'm in the same boat...trying to dump him, and his remaining schedule makes me want to do it fast!
phonzu2 10/17/12 09:36 PM
I have a dilemma there's some good WR's that r FA's in my League and the WR spots have been killing me especially in Week 6 so I wanna drop WR Dominek Hixon for one of the FA's and my back up TE also so witch 2 WR FA should I get out of these:(Kenny Britt),(Lance Moore),(Denarius Moore),(Josh Gordon),(Andrew Hawkins),(Santana Moss),(Kevin Ogletree),(Chris Givens),(Donald Jones),(Chaz Schilens),(Brandon Gibson),(Shaun Hill) and (Brandon LaFell)pls let me know witch 2 would u pick up or should hold onto D. Hixon and just pick up one WR FA?
Six19R_OG-Mobsta 10/18/12 06:05 AM
RG3 or Cam Newton. Ive been alternating through the 2 and picked the wrong one pretty much every week for 3 weeks now.... losing by less than 5 points every time whilst the other one scores well for my bench !! With RG£ im projected to win by 10..... with Newton im projected to Tie
chrisarmstr0ng 10/18/12 09:40 AM
im on a 6 team league and fitzpatrick, dalton, freeman, palmer are still available... the question is would you drop cutler over these FA's
phantom_g 10/18/12 11:40 AM
1. Brandon Gibson
2. Lance Moore
I like Fitz or Freeman. Pick based on weather and the matchup.
edittman1 10/18/12 08:30 PM
Andy Dalton or Matthew Stafford in week 7?
pioneer39er 10/19/12 11:42 AM
Ok kind of a complex question here: I am in a 16 team league where start 1 QB and can only have 2 QB's on your roster. I have peyton manning (whose on a bye) and jake locker (who isnt coming back til next week). My problem is the only two qb's on FA is Blaine Gabbert and John Skelton, should I drop Locker and most likely lose him for the rest of the year to someone else or just suck it up this week and take the lost? I am projected to lose by about 30 without QB but projections can be way off sometimes. PLEASE HELP!!!!
That's what I was thinking when starting RG3 over Big Ben. I feel RG3 is a boom or bust player and considering I have great matchups this week with my other players, I'll probably roll with Big Ben who''s more consistent.
I'd roll with Skelton since I think his value isn't much less than Locker's, plus the Cardnials have no running game. Keep in mind Skelton was the designated starter until he got injured in week 1. I'd roll with him.
csadow 10/19/12 04:14 PM
I have a Major Week 7 Starting Roster Dilemma!! I need MAX PTS this Week bc I'm going UP against The 1st Place Guy Who's 5-1 and every Week He Scores A Lot of PTS and I Really Need The Win bc I'm Tied UP with {4} Teams out of 10 AT 3-3.

Playing harvin and walsh..would you sit arizona d for pittsburgh? also, better upside this week nicks or britt?
dmiami 10/19/12 10:54 PM
Standard ESPN league, would you start Freeman vs Saints or Flacco vs Texans? I'm leaning towards the Freeman matchup but Flacco has been solid this year. Any thoughts?
dapack12 10/20/12 09:59 PM
Stafford vs Chicago
Dalton vs Pitt
dwharmsway 10/20/12 11:52 PM
@dwharmsway I have the same dilemma - I'm going with DALTON this week. Dalton is the 7th ranked QB so far this season, and I think the Steelers D is a better bet than the Bears, at least at this point...

text: Hello all, how is everyone doing on this fine Friday the 13th? I know I'm doing pretty good and because I feel so childlike, I will be giving you guys a couple tutorials on some adorable animals that kids love to own as companions. The first will be "how to draw a ferret for kids", step by step. Now I was supposed to upload this ferret yesterday, but for some odd reason I totally forgot all about it. Today the ferret you will be drawing is a simple concept that has more weasel looks than anything else. I had a cousin that owned two ferrets and even though they where cute, I couldn't see myself owning one because of the horrible smell from their litter. When she offered if I wanted to buy them I had to turn her down because of the smell. Other than that, they are adorable critters, and if you are a ferret person you should fall in love with this tutorial on drawing a ferret for kids. I shall return in a bit with some other drawing fun so stay tuned in. Peace out people and enjoy!

The practice of using Gaussian copulas in modeling credit derivatives has come under a lot of criticism in the past few years. What are the major arguments against using the copula method in this respect?
The limitations of the Gaussian copula were well-known among the quantitative finance practitioners before the crisis. See this paper by D. Brigo.
To answer the question:
This said, all other models are either worse or offer cosmetic improvements. Changing the Gaussian factors to some others doesn't really give you much. A few years ago the Random Factor Loading model was en vogue, but it turned out to be much harder to calibrate, and still not flexible enough.
If you want a 'pop science' account for it, the Wired article by Felix Salmon is a pretty good start.
If you want harder technical stuff, well then you can start at the Wikipedia article and its section on Applications and follow the references:

In measure theory there are three fundamentally related theorems about exchanging limits and integrals: Fatou's lemma, Lebesgue's Dominated Convergence Theorem, and Monotone Convergence Theorem. It is difficult to prove any of these from scratch, but once you have one, the others are easier.
My question is, for those who have learned these theorems: which one do you prefer to prove first? Difficulty, length, and, perhaps most importantly, how enlightening each path is are the key considerations. I suppose you could also phrase the question: if you were teaching a class in what order would you prove these theorems.
I've read through all of the proofs and there doesn't seem to be a big difference, but perhaps someone can shed some new light on this question.

DENISON, TX -- A dog event held by the City of Denison's Main Street Department was so popular last year, they're bringing it back again for 2012. For this Mom's Everyday Family Fun segment, we'll tell you how you and your family can join in on the four-legged fun.
Downtown Denison is calling all dogs for the second annual Bark & Paws at Heritage Park this Saturday. Donna Dow of Denison Main Street says this year's event promises new games and contests including "the obstacle course, retriever game, pet owner look alike and dress alike."
This pet parade is slated to be the most popular and colorful event of the day. With a patriotic theme, owners can even enter to win wearing their best matching all-American outfits.
Other contests will be held for the obedient dogs that do tricks, the biggest, littlest, ugliest, oldest...even one for the pet that traveled farthest. Most of all, you don't want to miss the Wienie Dog Races at Forest Park. "You just have to see it. It's entertaining!," said Donna.
The fun doesn't stop there, *the parade will travel from Forest Park to Heritage Park at 11. Parade Grand Marshal will be Luke Robinson, founder of 2 Million Dogs and the Puppy Up walks for dog cancer research. The story of 2 Million Dogs began with a man and his two dogs who embarked on a walk from Austin, TX to Boston, MA inspired by the loss of his Great Pyrenees to cancer. For more information on the story of Hudson, Murphy, and Luke Robinson, visit 2milliondogs.com.
Dachshund races and other events requiring dogs be let off leashes will be held at Forest Park. Vendors will set up on Burnett next to Heritage Park. Santa and Mrs. Claws will be on hand for photographs with pets and owners--great Christmas cards. Those already signed up include a watercolor pet artist, chair massage, pet massage, veterinarian, groomers, trainers, pet adoption, and more.
The day's events will begin at 10:00 a.m. with Wienie Dog Races at Forest Park. At 11:30, a Blessing of the Pets will occur in Heritage Park. Another special highlight of the day will be a Doghouse Auction presented by Salyer Auctions. The custom-created palaces are currently receiving their finishing touches and will be on display throughout the day. The houses and a professional dog training session will be auctioned off at 12:30 with proceeds going toward purchase of pet waste stations for Downtown Denison.
Event t-shirts and dog bandanas will be on sale throughout the day for $15 and $5 respectively. Dog registration will begin at 9 a.m. Registration is free, but those entering contests will be charged $1 per event and will be given a chance on door prizes for each $1 spent. Anyone can purchase $1 tickets for door prizes. Every dog must abide by leash laws and have proof of current rabies vaccinations.
The event is organized by the City of Denison's Main Street Department and led by volunteers who love their dogs. For specific event times, more information or volunteer forms, visit http://www.downtowndenison.com and search current events or call 903-464-4452.
Donna Dow adds, "If you want to bring your dog to town and just have a really good time then this is the event you don't want to miss."

A Table Mountain sunset – Flickr pic of the day
This photograph of a beautiful sunset was taken by our Cape Town. Live it. Love it. group member Jenny Hallwara aka j_hallward.
Jenny says, "The picture was taken from Sunset Beach, Milnerton. I was at a braai and was standing outside chatting when I noticed the most beautiful colours in the sky. I rushed inside to grab my camera, and then ran across the golf course to the top of the sand dunes to take this shot."
Do you have images of Cape Town you'd like to share with us? We'd love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!

I'm stuck at the combination lock in the caves for the quest that you get the golden claw... I know the right combination, but the pillars are actually stuck! none of the will turn, and they are all stuck on the chicken head thing! PLEASE HELP!! :(
I had a cave puzzle glitched somewhere else. It had something to do with spikes. Try leaving the cave and entering again. It seems Skyrim caves run on Windows OS.
Watch this Video. If the pillars shown in this tutorial do not rotate, your game is bugged. It would be best to revert to an older save.
Spoiler, that Video shows you how to solve the problem.

Published on Wed, Apr 04, 2012
CHARLOTTE, North Carolina – Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, who will chair the Democratic National Convention here in September, on Tuesday urged Hispanics in North Carolina to vote "for those who don't have a voice" in the presidential elections in November.
"If we don't vote, neither of the two parties are going to take us into account. You have to go out and register people and, above all, motivate those who can to become U.S. citizens," said Villaraigosa in a meeting with Hispanic reporters in Charlotte.
In his first visit to the Queen City, one of the country's highest-profile Latino politicians reiterated that since North Carolina is the state that has had the biggest growth in the country in its Hispanic community, its voting power is "essential."
"The figures point to it and we know it: the Hispanic vote is important, and we'll work very hard to get it," Villaraigosa emphasized.
The mayor on Tuesday toured Charlotte's convention center and Bank of America stadium, where President Barack Obama will accept the nomination of his party in September.
The number of Hispanics in North Carolina increased by 111 percent over the past decade to more than 800,000, representing 8.4 percent of the state's residents.
According to figures compiled by the North Carolina state elections board, in 2008 there were more than 68,000 Hispanics registered to vote and of those 20,648 voted in the presidential elections that November.
Obama won North Carolina by a scanty 14,177 votes, the first time since 1976 that a Democratic presidential candidate had garnered the state's 15 electoral votes.
A post-electoral analysis by the Washington-based Immigration Policy Center emphasized that those Hispanic votes that went to the Democrats were "indispensable" in helping Obama win the Tar Heel state.

Sophomore Daniel Mullan is preparing for a career in music by learning business and entrepreneurial skills from the Entrepreneurship Center for Music (ECM) at the College of Music.
Mullan is majoring in classical saxophone performance with a minor in business, and will be one of the first students enrolled in the new certificate in music and entrepreneurship debuting in the fall. He realizes that to be successful, musicians need to be adaptable to a rapidly changing marketplace.
"To be a musician today you have to be an entrepreneur," Mullan said. "You have to be smart about what you're doing to promote your career. You need to develop business tools that will help take you where you want to go."
Changes have been occurring in the classical music industry for the past several years. As the business of music continues to change in ways unanticipated a decade ago, the arena in which musicians jockey for success has become more complicated than ever. Yet, for the enterprising musician, opportunities abound.
As one of the first such programs in the country, the ECM, which opened in 1998, is itself an entrepreneurial endeavor. The ECM offers academic courses for credit, a guest lecture series, internships, and mentoring opportunities for music students. Starting in the fall, the curriculum will also include a Certificate in Music Entrepreneurship in partnership with the Deming Center for Entrepreneurship at the Leeds School of Business.
"Oftentimes students in the arts see entrepreneurship as this foreign thing beyond their understanding," said Jeffrey Nytch, director of the ECM. "For some, it may even feel threatening. Part of my job is to demystify the process. 'Being entrepreneurial' simply means using your creativity to develop your career in ways that are financially viable, sustainable, and artistically fulfilling.
"We provide a whole range of business and career tools," he said, "but the tools are just the beginning: understanding the entrepreneurial process allows students to take those tools wherever their dreams and passion lead."
Internships provide opportunities
One of the ways Mullan is building his music career is with internships arranged through the ECM.
Last summer, he completed an internship with Kilimanjaro Live, Ltd., in London, a concert and events promotion agency. The internship provided Mullan with experience in production and marketing of large touring shows, including Donny and Marie Osmond, Andrea Bocelli, and Travis Pastrana's Nitro Circus. He also worked onsite as a contractor liaison for a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert and a music festival in Wales called Wakestock.
In his current internship with Boulder-based Darkghost Agency, Mullan books Colorado bands into local venues. Since Darkghost is a young company, he gets a variety of hands-on experience, such as marketing, administration, booking, and talent acquisition strategies.
"I have learned that even in the age of technology, in-person relationships outweigh the ease of email," he said.
Mullan has taken a systematic approach to planning his career by dividing it into five-year increments. Five years after graduating he plans to be working for a leading national entertainment company, such as AEG or Livenation. Five years after that he hopes to start his own company and perhaps teach. Through it all, he would like to play the saxophone professionally.
"As music students, we come to CU to work on our art," said Mullan, "and that's great, but there's another facet we must hone in on to really become successful. That's the business side of music. The entrepreneurial center is a strong program with great resources that allows you to see the business side of music, which is just as important as the creative work."

Korean Blast Fans Nuclear Concerns
Washington Studies Pyongyang's Claims That It Tested a Miniaturized Warhead, Enriched Uranium
WASHINGTON—North Korea's latest nuclear detonation elevated proliferation concerns in Washington and overseas, as scientists and intelligence officials scrutinized the test blast for signals of major advances in Pyongyang's weapons program.
Pyongyang's Program
Milestones in North Korean nuclear-weapons development
- 1960s Starts program with the Soviet Union's help
- 1985 Starts first reactor
- 1994 Reaches deal with U.S. to suspend nuclear-weapons development
- Late 1990s Obtains equipment for uranium enrichment
- 2002 Is accused by U.S. of violating 1994 agreement
- 2003 Quits nuclear nonproliferation treaty
- 2006 Tests a nuclear explosive for the first time
- 2009 Tests a second nuclear explosive
- 2010 Formally reveals a uranium-enrichment effort to a visiting U.S. scientist.
- 2013 Tests a third nuclear explosive, initially estimated at six to seven kilotons; Pyongyang says the bomb was its smallest and lightest yet
One indicator being closely studied is Pyongyang's claim that the nuclear device it tested this week was smaller than previous ones. The U.S. is concerned that it could be a miniaturized warhead, which would markedly advance the North's stated efforts to build long-range atomic weapons capable of striking the U.S.
North Korean state media also suggested that Pyongyang used highly enriched uranium as the fissile material for the explosion, a shift from the reprocessed plutonium it used in two earlier nuclear detonations conducted in 2006 and 2009.
U.S. officials said they were worried Pyongyang's creation of a uranium-based bomb could allow the reclusive communist country to rapidly expand its nuclear-weapons stockpile and to share its technologies with U.S. adversaries, such as Iran.
North Korea's test is already complicating President Barack Obama's ambitious nuclear disarmament strategy during his second term.
Administration officials said Mr. Obama had decided against making any new announcements about further cuts in the U.S. arsenal during his State of the Union speech Tuesday.
U.S. and United Nations officials believe Iran started its long-range missile program with components and designs provided by North Korea. The U.N. also has amassed evidence that Pyongyang has shared nuclear-test data with Tehran in recent years.
"We are trying to find out everything we can" about the test, said a senior American intelligence official Tuesday. "It's going to take a little bit of time. We look at it from all angles."
The test blast represents a particular threat to the U.S. because it follows Pyongyang's successful launch of a long-range missile in December. North Korea's young leader, Kim Jong Eun, and his government have repeatedly pledged to develop a capacity to hit the U.S. with a "nuclear deterrent."
"Doubting the North Koreans' braying about their success at nuclear-weapons miniaturization certainly complies with our diplomatic wish to persuade Pyongyang to disarm," said Henry Sokolski, who heads the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center, a Washington think tank. "Unfortunately, though, it violates what we know about North Korea's weapons cooperation with Iran and our repeated underestimation of their nuclear prowess generally."
The Pentagon is analyzing the seismic signature of the blast to determine whether the bomb was built using highly enriched uranium, according to U.S. officials. U.N. agencies are also conducting atmospheric tests on the fallout from the detonation.
The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in an initial assessment on Tuesday that the size of the blast was "several kilotons."
This assessment indicated the detonation was likely larger than North Korea's first two tests, but far smaller than the force of America's most powerful nuclear weapons, at about 1,000 kilotons. U.S. officials said a more accurate reading of the blast could still take days, if not weeks.
North Korea's gambit is a test for Mr. Obama early in his second term. Senior U.S. officials said they believed Mr. Kim and his generals scheduled the test to coincide with Mr. Obama's Tuesday night speech.
"America will continue to lead the effort to prevent the spread of the world's most dangerous weapons," Mr. Obama said in his speech. "The regime in North Korea must know that they will only achieve security and prosperity by meeting their international obligations. Provocations of the sort we saw last night will only isolate them further, as we stand by our allies, strengthen our own missile defense, and lead the world in taking firm action in response to these threats."
U.S. officials said Washington and its allies would seek to impose new economic sanctions on North Korea through the U.N. as punishment for the test and to force Mr. Kim to return to international talks aimed at ending Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program.
Mr. Kim took power from his late father, Kim Jong Il, in December 2011, and initially fueled hopes in Washington that he would seek to revitalize the North's economy and engage the West. Kim Jong Eun, who is believed to be 30 years old, was partially educated in Switzerland and is the first North Korean leader not to live through the 1950-53 Korean War.
The new North Korean leader, however, appears to have accelerated his country's missile and nuclear programs in recent months, possibly in an attempt to appease his military.
North Korea watchers believe the new leader and his advisers are seeking to force the U.S. to accept Pyongyang as a nuclear-weapons state ahead of any international negotiations.
Zhu Feng, an expert on Chinese foreign policy at Peking University, described the latest nuclear test as a "paradigm change" and a signal that Pyongyang appeared set on moving ahead to bolster its weapons capabilities. "I think things have truly changed" in North Korea's strategy, he said.
China is the key to any U.S. pressure campaign on North Korea, and U.S. officials said they were in close consultation with Beijing over the past two days. Secretary of State John Kerry has talked with his Chinese counterpart, Yang Jiechi, twice this week, according to the State Department.
Defense officials and nuclear policy experts said the Pentagon supported the White House's desire to cut as much as a third to the size of the nuclear stockpile.
Reducing the number of U.S. warheads from the 1,500 allowed under the new START treaty with Russia to between 1,000 and 1,100 could help save as much as $500 billion over the next two decades, according to analysts.
Republicans have seized on the North Korean test, coupled with Iran's recent advances, to sharply criticize the White House's plans.
"Now is not the time for further reductions to our nuclear deterrent," said Kelly Ayotte, (R., N.H.). "The president should instead focus on modernizing our nuclear arsenal, stopping Iran and North Korea from expanding their nuclear capabilities, and ensuring Russia is complying with past arms control agreements."
North Korea's nuclear test has refocused Washington on the nuclear proliferation threat in Asia.
The Obama administration has placed Iran and its nuclear program at the top of its foreign policy agenda during its second term. The U.S. is set to join the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council, plus Germany, in talk with Iran later this month in Kazakhstan.
Nuclear experts stressed Tuesday, however, that Pyongyang's program is now significantly more advanced than Tehran's, and that the two rogue states could be cooperating in their weapons development.

Oh yes
Oh yes
Has anyone else reached the year 2018 and found that the average age of a player is 30?
Not to mention there is hardly any good regens
Not really, no. Lots of brilliant regens in saves I've had, and squads that more or less seem the same as now.
Teams like Chelsea and Man Utd don't exactly have young first teams now, do they?
That's true.
Think I'll try and play as Arsenal for a bit...
It kinda bugs me trying to let go of my \/illa save because the days and nights over the holiday I've spent on it... That save could literally be seen as my holiday
This team are ****ing hopeless right now. 3-0 home loss to Almeria sends us to 21st.
I need tactical inspiration. Help?
Well, what formation are you playing?
Flat 4-5-1 right now.
What problems are you having exactly? Scoring? Leaking goals? Getting dominated by the other team in terms of possession?
Would you consider it cheating to edit a players PA to what your opinion of it is?
It's just players like Fran Merida... I couldn't help but notice how his PA doesn't reflect what I think he could potentially do
I would say it's cheating. I think that potentially Hines and Collison are a lot better than they are rated in the game, but I haven't changed anything. I'll just let West Ham's magnificent youth academy develop people better than them.
Anyways, Merida, what exactly has he shown (besides coming out of Barca's academy) that would make you think that he deserves a PA increase?
I'm not sure. I reckon though that this kid has ability and with the right mentality he can become big.
But anyway I didn't go ahead with it. At the minute I'm continuosly making new games until I get players with good PA's....
Mario Balotelli never seems to get a good PA though
God these forums die in the early hours lately...

Heh, it's 11:13 PM here.
Messi has really become absolutely useless for me. You never see any of his great ability when I play him.
Almost into February and we're 18th.
Gone back to 4-3-3 but my team are still playing like a bunch of amateurs.
Think I'll leave if I don't manage to finish in the top half.
Pontevedra 3-1 Celta. Derby win.
Momentum please?
What a name. Looks a handy player too, but can't sign.
I hate Gohouri; broke Diao's leg in training ffs. 6-8 months out.
Sociedad, the league's top scorers, now.
Sociedad 3-3 Pontevedra
Threw away a 2 goal lead.
Lauren at RB is looking awful but we're outside of the window now so I'll have to maybe move Botia over.
I looked at his average rating and then promptly released Lauren. :o
Too many posts in a row.
We seem to have turned a corner. *touch wood*
1-0 win over 2nd placed Almeria. We're still only 16th but we haven't lost in 4.
Typically we have Osasuna away next, then Girona away, and then 1st placed Cordoba.
We won 1-0 at Osasuna. Bloody lucky, but finally some resilience in our defending. Julio Cruz with a rocket to win it.
(Getting excited, sorry )
Only bought Adriano Basso from Bristol City for 30k so far in the transfer window.
I need wingers.
Beat Crystal Palace 2-0 for my first win in seven games.
Best defensive display ive seen all season.
Also back up to the point where I quit last save
4 people sacked
4 statements not wanting the job.
From 1 great defensive display to 4 goals conceded in 30 mins against derby. Lost 4-1 (they could have had 7 they missed a pen)
Hersh, perhaps adopt a Barca-esque 4-5-1/4-3-3 with closing down all over the park?
It got Albacete out of a slump!
Well, we have had the most insane run of form..
We were 18th in early February.
We are 4th in early May.
Unbeaten in 16.
Albacete 3-4 Pontevedra
This is getting daft.
We're closing on third!
Pontevedra 7-2 Gimnastic
"wtf" adequately sums that up.
We're now 3rd; can we hang on for 3 games for an insane promotion?
Just noticed we've relegated 2 teams in 3 games. Jaen and now Gimnastic. :o
As there aren't that many posters, you could just edit your other post with new information to save all these posts
Quality > Quantity
I've been thinking I should. or just start a career thread, providing I commit to this.
Obviously not meaning to post for the sake of posting though.
edit: We beat Cartagena, Xerez lost. We look like we're going up! Incredible.

I'm about to start a Spurs save until it gets boring. I've been playing Connor's Villa save but I'm gonna take a break from it for a while
Albacete did me a massive favour. They (5th) beat Xerez (4th), meaning that I am 4 points clear of 4th with 2 games to go.
Is there a way to chart your league position? I think we've gone from about 20th in January.
I think Ill just attempt to get promoted 2nd time round, this time telling the board i'll finish mid-table to get more money than just say I wont get relegated.
Cheers dafuge.
17th after 25 games, 3rd after 40.
Promoted. Unbelievable.
Told you I didn't want to spend long in this division, even though it looked like we'd be going the other way! Not bad for a team predicted 17th.
This team will get stuffed in La Liga without changes, but then we'll suffer from the lack of understanding again.. Need to beef up our backroom staff too - physio are awful.
A very cool chart.
£2.5mil for avoiding relegation with an elderly team of mid-table second division players. Wish me luck.
Lost 2-1 to Barnsley with 9 men
I really need a striker. Going to have to go for the 48month trick and hope we stay up.
I hope Dafuge won't tell me off for posting this in here, but my excuse is that I'm thinking of posting this in here at some point.
The situation
I'm currently the manager of Getafe in November 2012. I spent two years (or so) at Argentina before moving to Getafe in about November of last year. I saved them for relegation, and have promised a top half finish this season, which I could achieve.
However, Rafa Benitez has just been sacked, with Liverpool sitting in 18th. I'm actually a Liverpool fan, and so have had a couple of starts with them. So really what I'm asking is:
Do I stay at Getafe, and try and make them into a real strong team, or do I jump ship and go and try and save Liverpool?
I should add, that the finances at Liverpool are still bad, but things aren't brilliant at Getafe either with a low club value.
Last edited by weeeman27bob; 18-04-2010 at 16:13.
I'd stay at Getafe and wait and see how well Liverpool's next manager does. In the long term, it'd maybe take you a season or two to make them back into a top four side, but then what?
Paulo Henrique and Dickson Etuhu in the same team.
Henrique's cost £4.5mil despite our £2.5mil budget..
Etuhu in for free.
I'm still confused. I'm guessing you mean the last bit I wrote, but why would I tell you off?
I'm thinking I should maybe start a thread. Not sure how I'd do it though, considering I'm in season 3..
Might be a good idea. Cheers.
Now, cheesy title help?
Need a title to do with Spain, Pontevedra, Galicia, promotion, and with a bad pun somewhere.
Creative block. /o\
Heh, I was thinking of starting a thread, just loaded up a save with Fiji, New Zealand, Australia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan loaded. I've never had a game with more than 2 leagues running, usually with 44000 players, but I've compensated and only loaded 26000, should it be OK?
I'll come back to you on the title.
I'll have a bowl of seafood Pontevedra, Galicious. ? Nope that sucks
I've been through the desert in a country called Spain?

Sir Alex eat your heart out, my Littlehampton side have just scored a 98th minute winner, after 3 minutes of injury time were announced.
Better than those?
From a poor 2-0 home defeat against relegation threatend Leicester, to a 1-0 win away to play-off chasing Sheff Utd.
At least the unpredictability is quite clear in the championship.
Nickname(s) Pontevedriña, Ponte, Granates
Granate translated is Garnet, how boring.
That's interesting. How about "Pontevedra, Trojan hero, or Spanish [insert word]?"A local legend relates the foundation of Pontevedra to Teucer, hero of the Trojan War, a legend which was reinforced with the suspicions that Greek traders might have arrived to the Rias Baixas area in ancient times.[7] However, historians and archaeologists tend to agree that the initial settlement was probably formed during the integration of Gallaecia (old Galicia) into the Roman Empire (circa 1st century BC). The name of the city is eminently Latin, derived from Pons/Pontis (bridge) and Veteris/Vetera (old), hence Ponte(m)Vetera(m), "the old bridge", in reference to the old Roman bridge across Lérez River (still standing). Well communicated even since Roman times, Pontevedra consolidated itself as an intermediate town during the Suebic dynasty (circa 5th-6th century AD).
Hmmm, would that make sense?
¿Quién demonios son Pontevedra?
How about that?
"All Ponte-s To Promotion"?
"Somewhere in Spain, there is a little manager that is forever English?"
I'm not particularly English.
Just thought I'd point out re-my Liverpool team that:
We're in the Europa League, and currently top of our group after four games, having not conceded.
sounds alright, but
the media had us predicted to finish 4th at the start of the season, and I've taken over with them in 18th
Didn't take my advice then?
Got a good team still?
I've got most of the core team from the start of the game:
Reina, Carragher, Skrtel, Johnson, Mascherano, Lucas, Gerrard, Kuyt, Maxi, Benayoun, Riera, Torres.
But also a couple of other good players, who I can't remember all of their names.
It's getting bloody old though.
Does anyone know how I can increase the rate of snow in England using FMRTE?
I haven't actually had snow in 9-10 years on this save
Chris Clarke, MRLC, not know for his scoring ability has nailed his 7th of the season.
When I say he is not known for his scoring ability I mean he has scored 2 goals in 3 seasons.
Currently 15th and 4 points clear of relegation with 7 games to go.
Im looking safe-ish
7 points separate 23rd - 14th with only 4 games remaining.
Still 4 points ahead.
Just signed Liverpool reject Mark González for £1.2m.
I hope that Juan Pablo Pino accepts the new contract and rejects the £3m bid from Palermo.
I'm just in my OTFFMO thing. Lost 2-1 at home to Yeovil as Newcastle in the FA cup, with my full team.
And Mark González scores a hat-trick on his debut. For once, it works for me. Not against me.

Ah. Fark. We've gone £1m in debt and £2k over wage budget.
With Newcastle we have like £15mil of debt. Went OTT trying to sign players to survive..
Yeah. This can only get worse - 48month transfers..
Here's my new Barcelona asymmetric tactic that I developed after the other teams were adjusting to my 4-5-1 tactic.
You can almost definitely tell that I'm trying to get the best out of Messi. Everyone around him is on 'support' except for Xavi, who I'm thinking about dropping him back to the support duty. He's playing as a Trequartista with 'run with ball' on often and 'through balls' on mixed.
I'm absolutely screwing.
We just got spanked 3-1 by Cordoba. 3-0 down in 20 mins and had a player sent off whilst chasing the game.
Lmao, playing Athletico Madrid in the Spanish Cup Semi finals at the Camp Nou, it's 4-1 in my favor right as the first half ends. What a game it's been so far! 2 goals from Ibra, one from Xavi, and one from Busquets!
Alright, someone on their team scored, so it was 4-2, but Ibra completed his hat trick so it's all good now. 5-2
You haven't quit Barcelona yet?
It's been a really fun save! I'd recommend a Barca save to everyone.
1-1 tie with Malaga at home. We just weren't able to find that second goal.
I'm just waiting till you quit.
I hated Barca, it was too easy
But man I'm loving the new match ball I picked up on a skin I found... I moved it to the neue2 skin and it looks freaking awesome on the 2D Classic ME, makes every moment of the in game worth watching
Check the ball out, Looks funky right?
