Fulham announcements
Fulham have spent a whopping £28.125m on star goalkeeper Luiz Suarez.
Hopefully he and Danny Welbeck will form a formidable partnership together to ensure a season much better than the last, with the club now quite deep in debt, these transfers need to pay off.
We are also willing to listen to offers for any of our players.

I'm away for tonight guys, will answer PM's tomorrow
Chariman Babaginoosh was highly disappointed with a 14th place spot in the league, so he decided to break the bank with new signings which he hopes would jumpstart the anemic goal-scoring and get the team to the top of the league. The chairman assures his manager that he is here to stay, but Jogi is very skeptical and keeping his options open just in case the volatile chairman decides to make a serious change.
Free Signings:
Khouma Babacar - ST - Free
Ivica Olic - AML/ST - Free
Transfer In:
Roberto Soldado - ST - 17m
Jonny Evans - DC - 16.25m
Free transfers of Babacar and Olic should help out with the lack of offense and to make of for depth in the positions. The chairman had obvious concerns with the goalscoring so decided to open up the cash register and purchase Soldado for a 17m, by far the highest purchase ever made by Olympiakos.
Jonny Evans is here to stay to replace longtime DC and fan favorite Mellberg with his departure from Olympiakos. With a backline of Torosidis, Papadopoulos, Evans and Holebas, and goalkeeper Khune, it should make for one of the stingier teams in the league, comparable to Malaga's showing of last season.
Al-Sadd Transfers and Announcements
Yesterday there were several announcements made for incoming transfers. Mike Nevo is here to speak to us about the signings and has also indicated that the board have decided on budgets for this season and some possible referbishment to the facilities.
First off, we asked about the signings of Lucas Moura, Ganso and Rafinha.
Mike Nevo...
Lucas Moura is a player that we had been tracking since January, but we believed at that time that our main concern was the defensive side of our team. Our hope was that no other team would notice this emerging talent. Thankfully we were able to announce the signing straight away due to fantastic finances at the end of the season. He has already made 8 appearances for Brazil at the age of 19 and the reasons why is all there for everyone to see, 27 goals in 39 games for Sao Paulo and a massive 7.96 average rating. We decided to pick Lucas because of the end of our loan signings contract 'Daniel Sturridge' and it is our hope that Lucas can make an even bigger impact.
Ganso was also our second main target from the January window and the reasons for waiting were exactly the same and we are all shocked at Al-Sadd that nobody picked up this amazing footballer. I personally believe that Ganso could walk into any team in the world right now and play at a high standard, with his creative skills being amongst the best in the world. Anybody playing in front of Ganso will know they have a chance to score large amounts of goals in this coming season.
Finally, we bought Rafinha. This was not a planned transfer, but considering the fact that we don't have any real talent in this position, it was vital to snap up the transfer of Rafinha as fast as possible, just because he was so cheap. I believe that the signing of Rafinha and the plans to sign more defensive players this summer will make is a massive force in the league this season.
Next up, we talk about the 2 youth signings that have been made...
Mike Nevo...
Lucas Vega was our first choice youth player to bring to the club, just because of his vast potential and we believe he will become one of, if not the best goalkeeper in 5 or 6 years time. By the time Lucas Vega is ready, Tim Wiese will be around 36 years old, which is perfect for us at the club and it will provide Lucas with a great tutor at the club.
Duncan Locke was a target that one of our scouts picked out and they believe he has huge potential and the fact that he was at Manchester United speaks for itself. I believe he has a huge future ahead of him and has a vast amount of talent at this club to help him improve in the ways he should do.
Finally, we have the 2 loan signings, along with the 2 free transfers!
Mike Nevo...
When we saw the availability of Simone Pepe, we had to snap this loan up straight away! Along with the RB position, we were lacking proper talent in the RM position as well and Simone Pepe's performances for Juventus last season were excellent, although he wasn't afforded much game time. He also has amazing attributes, so there was no doubt in our minds that Simone was the right man for our team.
Our second loan was Aleksandar Kolarov who can play a wide range of positions, but will be mainly used for the DL position. We do have 1 or 2 players for the DL position, but it isn't one of our strong points and I believe Kolarov will change that. With the other signings for defence that we have made, this will complete our squad.
Next up we have our amazing free transfer of Gabriel Heinze! He has played for Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Marseille and even Roma, so that speaks for itself right there. He's 34 years old and we do lack a real leader with real experience, which Heinze will bring to the table. Hopefully he will be able to create a brilliant partnership with Raul Albiol and we should have an amazing back four, with Rafinha and Kolarov on either side.
Finally, we have the signing of Michael Ballack, a house hold name in his own right. He has been the German sensation in recent years and has amassed 98 caps for his country, scoring an unbelievable 42 goals! Just like Heinze, he brings a wide range of experience and is a real leader, whilst still possessing most of the talent he has had during his career. There is no doubt in my mind that with all the signings we have made, we could become the best team in the league.
Budget Announcement
Transfer Budget: £25,000,000
Wage Budget: £1,500,000
I will be allowing Sir Alex the opportunity to make his own signings for areas he believes we need covering and the wage budget should be more than enough.
Facility Improvements
I would like to announce that our Youth Facilities will be upgraded, costing us £8,000,000 and we will be looking to improve these facilities over the course of the season.
PSV have splashed the cash again this transfer window on another midfielder. Chairman Andy Stewart seems to have seen this as the weakest part of the team as Pieters the defender collected most assists for the club last season. So without further adeaux PSV would like to announce the signing of Joao Moutinho.
On another note some players are available and enquiries will be listened to.
Also TM are stadium expansions etc still the rules that apply in the OP?
Yes current rules apply untill the end of this season.
Woooo! 2nd place,as i originally predicted at the start of the season. Now for transfer business
Important Notice
Everybody will need to submit their 8 blocked transfers for this season asap! Please do this through PM
Please remember, transfers from last season are no longer blocked automatically! Due to this, I have increased the blocked transfers to 8!

Anji - Transfers
A big welcome party in Russia today as Anji sign a host of new players.
3 free transfers have come in, and surprisingly 2 of those are goal keepers. 3 frees makes Anji over the limit so one has to be counted as a foreign transfer.
Sergio Asenjo comes in on a free, as does fellow goalkeeper Rene Adler.
Breno the Brazilian Centre Back also comes in on a free and will count as a Foreign Transfer.
Following a successful loan spell Sebastien Bassong is going to stay on Loan at Anji for another season. Joining him on Loan will be highly rated youngster Bojan from barcelona.
The money signing so far comes in the form of tricky spaniard Iker Munian for £14.4 million.
Transfer News Update
I have so far moved all the loan signings from last season, back to their original clubs (except 2 who are causing problems ).
I will be waiting for most of the Blocked Transfer Pm's to come back before I start on any transfers.
Hey TM, Cabaye has been sold Can i have him back.
revising for an exam today so wont be active untill tomorrow.
Anji - For Sale
Looking to sell Muslera the highly rated GK for £15 million.
Also looking to sell Boussoufa for £2million
Jan Holenda - £250k
Julian Draxler - loan fee of £1.5million
Mateo Kovavic - loan fee of £1 million
Any other offers for Anji players will be considered.

It isnt letting me download the end of season file?!
Newcastle United Football Club
Following last seasons mid table finish manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer along with the help of the chairman and the board are set to see a summer overhaul of the squad.
This this news comes a list of players that NUFC have transfer listed
Rob Elliott
James Perch
Mike Williamson
Kamil Agalarov
Ryan Taylor
Sylvain Marveaux
Pascal Feindouno
Sammy Ameobi
Shola Ameobi
Leon Best
Nile Ranger.
The club are willing to listen to any offer for the above named players.
Chairman babaginoosh is having a busy season and there is no slowing down in sight.
The chairman has recently grabbed up-and-coming winger Vladimir Weiss from MCFU on loan for the remainder of the season.
Chairman is talking to teams in the league to further solidify his team and hopefully solve the problems with its lack of goalscoring.
The chairman has roughly spent close to 30m in transfers and is looking to make one more major purchase. He swore to his fanbase he would do everything possible to stay competitive and hopefully win the cup this year, but the reality is that the team has quite a way to go.
Transfer Blocks:
Emiliano Schena
Guido Moroni
Alphonse Areola
Hervin Ogenda
Andreas Tatos
Avraam Papadopoulos
Vasilis Torosidis
Sergi Roberto
Rest of team is up for grabs so if you see someone you like make an offer
Edit: Olympiakos board got together in an emergency meeting to oversee the approval of the summer transfers and have unanimously voted down the purchase of Youngster Mbaye Niang due to is extremely high cost of roughly 10m. The club feels the money can be used in other areas which would bring a higher return in a shorter period of time than to spend that money on a player that wont even get any first team action for at least 3 years.
Last edited by Babaginoosh; 14-05-2012 at 19:58.
I take it the transfers made this season dont need to be blocked (same as last season)?
HSV announce this years intentions
HSV chairman, Nathan Walker has today announced that he expects the club to get a mid table finish this season at least.
To do this he has transfer listed every player as the club and will listen to any offers.
He also said that he expects alot of new faces at the club come transfer deadline day.
Olympiakos has just made another purchase but this time domestically. Chairman babaginoosh is proud to announce the transfer of Moussa Dembele from HSV for a fee of 5m. Chairman has decided to make this purchase and pair him up with fellow countryman Kevin Mirallas on the other wing. He is hoping the chemistry between these belgium's will help create more goalscoring opportunities and finally start putting the ball in the back of the net.
San Marino Club History
Campionato Super League Winners
[2011/2012] 1st Place: PSV (1) | 2nd Place: Anji | 3rd Place: Malaga | Top Goalscorer: Edinson Cavani (22)
Coppa Titano Winners
[2011/2012] Winners: Al-Sadd (1) | Runner-Up: Bologna | Top Goalscorer: Mamadou Niang & Seydou Doumbia (6)
Changes at Gladbach
Borussia Monchengladbach chairman, Hans Dehler, has announced he is greatly displeased with the club's position in the Super League last season, and as such will be ringing the changes for Die Fohlen. He would first like to announce that despite reports to the contrary, Marcelo Bielsa has kept his job, and the brief appointment of Leonardo Menichini was just a scare tactic. Bielsa will be in charge for the coming season.
There are also a number of players arriving at the club. Firstly, for a fee of £13.75m, Robert Lewandowski will be joining the club, in an attempt to help out the aging Raul with the goal-scoring. We will also be bolstering our defence with the signing of Salvatore Bocchetti for £14.25m, and creativity in the midfield will be improved as Younes Belhanda joins, also for £13.75m.
A couple of players will also be joining on frees; the Brazilian Coutinho and the Italian Fabiano Santacroce. Barcelona's Thiago Alcantara and Udinese's right back Allan Nyom will be joining on loan for the season.
Finally, in a look to the future, the club are delighted to announce the signings of two exciting youth prospects, left winger Ricardo Macario from Juventus, and left back Jonathan Carletti from AC Milan.
The chairman would also like to say that the vast majority of his players are open to offers from fellow Super-League chairmen, as a significant amount has been spent on improving the team already. Talisman Marco Reus is the only player Dehler will definitely not be selling to his fellow chairmen, everybody else probably has a price.
Absolutely livid with my Málaga team. 4 straight defeats to throw away the title. Could be some massive changes by club chairman Steven Kemp in the near future. Announcements will follow......
HSV announce new signings
HSV's chairman Nathan Walker has today announced that money is no issue to the club when it comes to new signings.
First of all we have Del Pierro joining the club on a free transfer it is thought that he will provide the neccassary expeirence to take the club to the next level, then we have Nuri Sahin, Emmanuel Adebayor and Yann M'vila joining the club from foreign countries it is thought that these player have set the club back a huge £75m between them.
And finally we have Siem De Jong joining the club for £8.75m from Olympiakos (Babaginoosh could you confirm this to TM please).
Although these transfer have sent the club into massive amounts of debt Walker and Benitez are said to be over the moon with the new signing but also expect many more transfers to be made before the end of the window
Anji - Transfers
The great Anji would like to confirm the purchase of David Alaba, who signs for £15million.
We have also managed to capture 2 youth Signings Aktan joins for £2million, and Fabian Kosinski a polish player in for £1.25 million.
This concludes the transfers from outside of the league, but expect more from league transfers.
Mbark Boussoufa has been let go for £2million to Rangers!

Chairman Babaginoosh once again dips into the transfer market and snatches up fullback Tobais Levels from Gladbach for 1.5m. It is rumored that Olympiakos would be parting ways with long time fan favorite Vasilis Torosidis so the team wanted to make sure they had a solid replacement in anticipation of the rightback's departure.
Can you buy players transfer listed by a foriegn club for the price they are for sale for?
Newcastle move quickly to spend money
It has been a busy 24 hours at Newcastle with 7 new players coming into the club.
First up is two players signed on a free transfer:
Paul Scholes - the veteran midfielder has joined the club on a £10k pw contract and manager OGS hopes his experience will shine off on the younger memebers of the squad.
Sulley Muntari - another player with vast experience comes in on £10k pw after leaving Inter Milan. Will add steel to a lightweight midfield
The next two players have joined on a season long loan
Xherden Shaqiri - the youngster has joined from Bayern Munich for a £1.05m fee and wages of £25k
Kevin De Bruyne - another creative midfielder on laon, this time from Chelsea. Costs £23k pw and a fee of £550k
The final three have joined from over seas and are seen a up and coming youngsters in the main
Johan Martial - A £4.25m signing from Stade Brestois 29 on wages of £11k
Marco Capuano - the biggest of the signings so far at £4.5m but modest wages of £5.550k pw. Signed from Italian side Pescara.
Nuno Reis - Sporting agreed to the release of Reis for a fee of £2,437,500 with wages of just £500 pw.
At this point the club would like to make it known that they are looking for 2 new forwards ahead of the new season and will be working hard to complete deals in time for the window closing.
Going to look throught he PM's now and get them sorted
Important Notice
When sending a PM, just like when you confirm things in this thread, please put what team you are. It's frustrating to have to open a new window and go to this thread to find out what team you are, especially when I have 20 odd messages to go through and 8 of them haven't done this. Thanks to those that already do this.
@ TM, I try to always do it but sorry for any I've missed it out on!
It's the least I can do when I send so many messages haha.
Finally got through all the PM's Thank god for that! Waiting for the next batch now haha.
Ri916, i'm afraid the first one sounded better
Today leeds Have completed the signing of Ruud Van Nistelroy, for £1 million from Malaga. They have also completed the signings of Gennaro Gattuso and Cristian Zapata for 4 million and 4.2 million respectively. They have also completed the loan of Pedro from Barcelona (please speak up if you know he has been taken, TM said he might have been and I skimmed through the thread but may have missed it.)
I would like to make it clear to everyone that I am in the market for a central midfielder but he has to be quality. Will pay top dollar for him as well.
also, all my players are available for the right price excluding antonio valencia and christopher samba
Last edited by ri916; 15-05-2012 at 17:39.
Are you thinking of kicking inactive players TM? pretty sure that some havent done anything at all for weeks.
In what must be seen as the buiest day in Bolton's footballing history they are happy to announce the folowing new players
Martin Montoya and Dedryck Boyata
Free Transfers
Kerlon and Pavel Pogrebnyak
Youth Signings
Raheem Sterling
Foreign Transfers
Georg Niedermeyer
Jake Livermore
Joe Cole
It is hoped that all these players will play a part in improving performance from last season
Olympiakos one possible final move and grab CB Danny Wilson on loan from Liverpool. Wilson is brought in to create depth on the team and make sure the team functions defensively when players serve their suspensions in this tough league.
In addition, the chairman also decides to purchase Tim Ream from Bolton for 2m.

Club Atlético River Plate Announce One New Player

I seriously wonder what would happen if you bought ALL barca players and Pep G as manager in this league...
It's getting interesting now with a lot of teams strengthening well, who's going after Ronaldo then?
I might sign Balotelli, Ravel Morrison, Joey Barton, El Hadj-Diouf and Djibril Cisse just to see what happens.
Not sure which manager I'd have to bring in to manage that bunch, maybe Terry Connor?
ri916 ^
Players signed in this window are blocked for their first season I believe? So you can put other people on block instead

Marinesco-Sjögren Syndrome
It is possible that the main title of the report Marinesco-Sjögren Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
- Garland-Moorhouse syndrome
- hereditary oligophrenic cerebello-lental degeneration
- Marinesco-Garland syndrome
Disorder Subdivisions
- None
General Discussion
Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome (MSS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects multiple organ systems of the body. Common symptoms include difficulty coordinating voluntary movements due to degeneration (atrophy) of the cerebellum (cerebellar ataxia), clouding of the lenses of the eyes (cataracts), delays in the acquisition of skills requiring the coordination of muscular and mental activity (psychomotor development), diminished muscle tone (hypotonia), and progressive muscle weakness. Many affected individuals exhibit additional physical abnormalities. Although Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome can be associated with significant disability, lifespan is often unaffected. Marinesco-Sjögren syndrome is caused by mutations of the SIL1 gene and at least one other, presently unknown, gene.

I have some command line applications (and remote servers) that I want to make individual launchers for on the Unity launcher, how do I do that?
Custom launchers for terminal applications can be used, which can be very useful for applications such as irssi and mutt.
The thing to remember is that you'll want to specify a different window manager class for the terminal using the
For example, to create a launcher to login to another server, you can use something like the following for a .desktop file (see above for how to get this into the Launcher):
After you've created this .desktop file (you can name it something like myserver.desktop) you can just drag and drop it onto your launcher.

The Annual C10 Club Get-TogetherWritten by on February 3, 2014 It's A Family Affair
The most worn-out, overused, cornball title there ever was for a truck feature is "It's a Family Affair." It's not hard to tell who the FNG is at a truck magazine, the newbie is going to pop for using that title every time. That said, I don't think anyone has ever titled a classic truck event as a family affair, so I'm going to use the heading to describe one of my favorite events.
It takes place early every October, at Rene "The C10 King" Martinez's spread in Atwater, California, and is hosted by the Central Valley chapter of the C10 Club. For folks who live outside of California might guess that either Southern or Northern California is where the hotbed is for classic truck action, but they'd be wrong, it's in the Central Valley. It only makes sense, California's Central Valley is at the heart of the state's agricultural region, and the area has been relying on pickup trucks since the turn of the 20th century.
For more information about next year's C10 Get-Together, keep an eye posted on 67-72ChevyTrucks.com. In fact, if you have one bone in your body that has a hankering for anything about Chevy or GMC trucks, you'll be glad you checked the site out. Oh, and I guess I should mention the vibes at the C10 Get-Together are more like a family reunion than whatever that song by Sly and the Family Stone was about.

I am going to be in Osnabruk, Germany till August 23, 2012. I would like to take an excursion to Amsterdam. Are there bus excursion operators in Osnabruk that offer Amsterdam tours? (maybe some network which operates all over Germany).
Considering that there's a direct train connection from Osnabrueck to Amsterdam Central Station, I'd just look for any tour operator where you can book Amsterdam tours separate from the ticket to Amsterdam. They'll just give you a meeting point that's well-reachable (probably Amsterdam Airport). That means you'll have to travel another 15 minutes from Central Station to the airport. Can't miss, really.

how to set formpanel name
I was wondering if there is any way to set form panel name with HTML attribute name, for example:
<form class=" x-form-label-left" style="overflow: hidden; padding: 10px; width: 264px; height: 144px;" method="get" target="gxt.formpanel-1" action="javascript:;" name="formName">
It seems there are only setName methods for fields but not for any kind of panel.
Anybody knows how can I do this? Thanks,

8 Historic Symbols That Mean The Opposite of What You Think
#4. The Alamo
Misunderstood By:
Texans, underdogs everywhere.
The Alamo was the site of the last stand of several influential American frontiersmen like David Crockett and Jim Bowie, against an overwhelming force of Mexican Troops. Though a loss for Texas, it inspired the revolution that finally led to their glorious independence.
As the Alamo's website puts it, "People worldwide continue to remember the Alamo as a heroic struggle against impossible odds - a place where men made the ultimate sacrifice for freedom." And what a freedom it was! Except for the 5,000 or so slaves who could now legally be declared personal property.
People who say "Remember the Alamo" conveniently neglect to remember that a considerable factor in the Texas Revolution was that dastardly Mexico decided to outlaw slavery, and that didn't wash well with the American slave-owning population, who needed them black folk to pick their cotton while they laid back on the porch sipping margaritas from coconut halves.
Hell, if you want an inspirational symbol for standing up for freedom against overwhelming odds, how about John Brown's Raid on Harpers Ferry? John Brown was a radical militant abolitionist who launched a real last stand for liberty in 1859. Taking along 20 other men, including freed slaves, he raided the federal arsenal at Harper's Ferry. By seizing the nation's supply of guns and ammunition, he hoped to initiate a slave revolt and uprising. As seen here:
Despite evidently being 12-feet tall and made of bronze, Brown's mission failed and he was later executed for treason, becoming a symbol and martyr for the struggle against slavery.
While we're on Texas...
#3. The Slogan "Don't Mess With Texas"
Misunderstood By:
Texans anywhere outside of Texas.
We've all been there: One night you're sitting at the bar getting trashed and trying to make eyes with a hot blonde at the pool table when you're interrupted by a guy who, despite the fact that this is New Jersey, is dressed in boots with spurs, leather chaps and a cowboy hat.
He saddles up to the bar, orders some obscure Texas beer he knows they don't have, and settles for a Bud Light. You try to ignore him, but he insists on striking up a one-way conservation about his life in Texas and how great the state is. By now that hot blonde has already left the bar, while the unaware Texan tells a story about the Texas Rangers and ends the story saying, "That's why we say 'Don't Mess with Texas'!"
While he thinks he sounds badass spitting out that tired line, the fact of the matter is he might as well be saying, "Give a Hoot, Don't Pollute."
The phrase Don't Mess With Texas is trademarked by the Texas Department of Transportation as part of their anti-littering campaign started in 1986. If anything, that proves that the only people intimidated by that phrase are Texans, thanks to the Department of Transportation's first strike penalty of sending a litterbag to the offenders.
And, while Texans hope the rest of the world doesn't know about the origins of the phrase, there are a few who remember the last time someone actually messed with Texas, which was the Union in the Civil War. Texas was on the losing side and fell without having many significant battles or any Union troops in Texas at the time of surrender.
#2. The Slogan "40 Acres and a Mule"
Misunderstood By:
Activists for Reparations.
You've surely run into this phrase somewhere, depending on what type of activists you hang around and what rap songs you listen to. For instance 40 Acres & A Mule is the name of Spike Lee's production company and record label, and the phrase turns up in songs by Kanye West, Nelly and countless others.
Never forget.
It's a well-worn symbol of America's struggle with racism--the broken promise by the U.S. government to issue freed African slaves each 40 acres of land and a mule after the Civil War. The idea is that 150 years after the end of slavery, African Americans are still waiting for that goddamn mule.
What many don't realize is that, rather than some unfulfilled land/mule redistribution program to make up for that whole slavery thing, "40 Acres and a Mule" was really just a temporary solution by a single military general who wanted some way to get all these freeloading black people off his back.
While General William Tecumseh Sherman's war tactic of simply marching across the continent and destroying everything he saw was pretty effective in shutting down the South's ability to supply itself, it also left a lot of freed slaves standing around smoldering ruins and wondering how they were going to eat.
As a result, many slaves had no choice but to follow the army. The logistics of supplying and protecting a large number of freed slaves was slowing Sherman down and cramping his style, so he hatched a plan to provide them all with 40 acres worth of whatever land wasn't apocalyptically devastated by his passage. This also doubled as an ample opportunity to get rid of his excess mules. Unfortunately, this was just a wartime measure--after all is said and done, taking people's property and handing it to other people is still unconstitutional.
The closest thing to an official free land program that freed slaves were really offered was the Homestead Act, which gave away 160 acres of federal land to anyone willing to improve it. (The number of mules was never officially specified.) Of course, they had to steal this land from the Native Americans first.
#1. Chief Crazy Horse
Misunderstood By:Clueless white people.
To their credit, white Americans really want to make reparations to the Native American people for that whole attempted genocide thing. One of the most potent symbols of our bourgeoning friendship with the First Americans is that of Sioux chief Crazy Horse, the Native Americans' greatest badass. So progressive is this message that a project is underway in South Dakota to carve an entire mountain into his likeness, so ridiculously huge that it's less than halfway finished after 60 years of work.
Erosion works faster.
While their hearts are in the right place, the irony is that the statue, conceived by Polish American sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, was intended as a response to controversy surrounding his other great sculpting project: Mount Rushmore. It kind of misses the point about why defacing mountains in the middle of sacred Native American territory is a bad idea.
Carving shit up isn't solution to all of life's problems.
Unlike us Euro-Americans, who think out national heritage sites like Gettysburg can be made better by putting a Wal-Mart next to them, Native Americans are pretty satisfied leaving holy-enough alone. As Native American actor and activist Russell Means said in an interview: "Imagine going to the holy land in Israel, whether you're a Christian or a Jew or a Muslim, and start carving up the mountain of Zion. It's an insult to our entire being."
But that wouldn't have stopped Ziolkowski.
The real kicker is that Crazy Horse refused to be photographed in his life, and was so adamant about it that no images of him are believed to exist. So, carving a 563-foot tall sculpture of him that dominates the Great Plains actually kind of serves as the most elaborate "fuck you" ever conceived by mankind.

If you have been diagnosed with congestive heart failure, it means your heart muscle has been weakened by disease and cannot adequately pump blood through the heart.
Many patients with congestive heart failure need care from multiple specialties (for example, electrophysiologists who can help with the arrhythmia, cardiothoracic surgeons and cardiologists who specialize in seeing heart failure patients) which is a major reason we are a nationally renowned heart center. One of our advantages is that we have multiple specialties who work together to take care of patients. Other members of the clinical team include a nurse contact, dietetic specialists to help with diet, and cardiac rehabilitation experts to help with exercise.
We are the only hospital in Iowa that offers the latest in LVAD (heart pump technology) and we were named a destination therapy center in 2010. This means that patients who are not candidates for transplants can have us put in a heart pump so that they can live a longer life. We also are the only place in the state offering heart transplants.
There are three types of cardiomyopathy:
Diagnostic steps may include
The type of treatment depends on the type of cardiomyopathy
Our specialists have participated in clinical research that has resulted in the currently approved therapies. We continue to participate in clinical studies to determine how to combine current medications and to look for new treatment options. You may be eligible to participate in a trial of new therapies.

NEW MARTINSVILLE - When you have the state's leading scorer at your disposal, the thought process says putting the ball in the basket won't be much of a problem. That's why Magnolia coach Dave Tallman spent the days leading up to his team's West Virginia Class A Region One co-Final working on the defensive side of the equation.
The Blue Eagles (21-4) held normally hot-shooting Clay-Battelle (17-9) to 39-percent shooting and had five players in double figures during a 96-71 demolition Thursday night at Magnolia High School that punched another trip to the state tournament in Charleston. The Blue Eagles earned the No. 2 seed and will meet No. 7 Wheeling Central in the first round at 1:30 on Wednesday inside the Charleston Civic Center Coliseum.
''Everybody always said Magnolia-Tug Valley and that's all you heard all year,'' Tallman said. ''Now we're going to go down and try to do it for the North. We've got down there and lost the first game three years in a row. We want to change that.''
Magnolia has all the look of a serious state-title contender, leaving a trail of carnage in its wake along the tournament trail. The Blue Eagles have won their last two games by an average of 19.5 points, and made a believer of Cee-Bees coach Josh Kisner.
''One of our big keys was to give them one shot and rebound,'' Kisner said. ''But, man, their one shot went in every time. They basically outshot us.''
Led by freshman point guard Preston Boswell who scored a game high-tying 23 points, the Blue Eagles shot 57 percent from the field and knocked down nine 3-pointers. Magnolia exploded to a 30-16 lead after one quarter and never looked back.
''We're so big that we're afraid of a good team spreading us out if they get the lead on us, so we emphasize that,'' Tallman said of the quick start. ''You've got to contest every shot and get the long rebounds.
''That was the thing that we worked on the whole time. We didn't talk about offense the whole time, we talked about defensive stuff.''
Wheeling Jesuit recruit Mark Winters finished with 21 points, 12 rebounds and four assists, but his biggest bucket came with 1:39 remaining in the first half. Not only did that give the Blue Eagles a 41-27 lead, but it broke the all-time school scoring record (2,024 points) of Ted Talkington.
''Mark's worked so hard,'' Tallman said. "WJU coach Danny Sancomb has a good one, but I still don't think he's really hit his potential yet.''
The Cee-Bees knocked off the Blue Eagles by 20 early in the season, but couldn't pull off another upset despite the play of Logan Opyoke, who had 23 points and a game-high 15 rebounds.
''The last six or seven games he's been the go-to guy offensively,'' Kisner said. ''I don't know what it is but it's like a light bulb clicked on. He's been hard to stop.
''He's long and athletic and would like to play somewhere in the future. Hopefully I can help him achieve that.''
Stephen Rogalski added 20 points for the Blue Eagles, while Zach Wilhoite was unstoppable underneath with 17 points and four blocked shots. Kyle Elliott hit a pair of 3s in the first quarter and finished with 11 points.
Cannon Brummage and Zach Chisler backed Opyoke with 17 and 14 points, respectively.
''This is a real opportunity for us,'' Tallman said. ''We have to make it a business trip and take care of things as they come.
''It's a great group of guys to take because they're great a great group of kids first of all, and they're great friends.''

Basic Rules for Financial Freedom: Make Wealth Happen
9 of 15
Pay Off Your Loans and Debts as a Priority
Do you clear your credit card balance every month? If you do, and you don't have any other outstanding loans/debts, then well done, you. You're not wasting money paying interest, and you're already in a strong position to go forward. Skip the rest of this Rule and carry on.
If you do have a credit card balance (or five), an overdraft, or other loans or debts, then you certainly aren't alone. It's so easy to get credit these days, and we live in a "have it now, pay later" society. Trouble is, debt bogs us down and holds us back. We're simply throwing money away paying off the interest. (You borrow, say, $20,000, and you can end up paying several thousand extra dollars back in interest. The actual amount you end up paying depends on how long you borrow for, as well as the interest rate you're being charged.) Debt is a millstone around the neck -- it makes you feel bad, it's always there nagging away at the back of your mind, and it can easily become a major problem that affects your health as well as your wealth.
There's no doubt about it. The very first thing you need to do on your wealth quest is to get loans/debts paid off as soon as possible and do nothing else until that's done. There's no point at all starting to put money into a savings account, earning say 5 percent interest, if you are at the same time paying 10 percent interest on money you owe to the bank or somebody else. It doesn't make sense. The simple truth is that those who borrow almost always pay a higher rate of interest than the rate received by those who save.

Latest Faces of the Library of Birmingham Announced
Search for twenty six ambassadors of the new library is now complete
Birmingham City Council has announced the final nine Faces of the Library of Birmingham. The latest faces to be confirmed include a teenage radio presenter, a Bhangra expert, the founder of a local film festival and The Hustle actor Adrian Lester, who began his career on the stage at The REP. All twenty six Faces of the Library of Birmingham were selected for their genuine passions for Birmingham and their excitement about the Library of Birmingham.
Ian Ward, deputy leader of Birmingham City Council said: In the Faces of the Library of Birmingham we have a bunch of fantastic ambassadors for the library and for the city. They reflect the incredible range of roles that libraries can play in the lives of people from different walks and in different stages of life.
The 'Rewriting the Book Campaign' was launched in May 2010 with the aim of finding 26 people, one for every letter of the alphabet, to represent the many values of the Library of Birmingham and help bring the new building to life for others. As real people with real passions, the Faces embody the variety and wealth of the services, facilities and possibilities that the Library of Birmingham will provide to the city's residents and the wider world when it opens in 2013. From now until the Library's opening, and beyond, the Faces will act as ambassadors within their own communities and networks to help spread the word about the library to Birmingham and the wider world.
The new Faces are:
David Ault, 30, from Walsall
David is an astrophysicist, passionate storyteller and actor. He runs The Big Bang West and East Midlands, and travels to theatres and primary schools to give storytelling workshops. He's thrilled that the new library will help increase the profile of Birmingham's science and engineering heritage and allow access to the cities internationally significant archives.See video of David Ault
Shaun Baxter, 19, from Handsworth
Shaun is a radio presenter for three different shows around the city. He has a genuine passion for libraries as a social space where people, especially teenagers, can meet to work together and thinks that the new building will help bring a real buzz to the city.See video of Shaun Baxter
Dr John Blewitt, 55, from Malvern
John is a Senior Lecturer at Aston University and has been closely involved with the Library of Birmingham since 2009. He is an expert on public libraries and their relation to social and environmental sustainability. John thinks the new library will be a magnificent space open to everyone and dedicated to learning, culture, the arts and commerce and will redefine what a library is and can be.
Gursh Chana, 40, from Great Barr
Gursh Chana is passionate about Birmingham's music and arts heritage. Gursh worked with Birmingham library to research and present his exhibition "From Soho Road to the Punjab", which showcased previously unseen photographs and club flyers, rare albums, authentic instruments, awards and costumes. After opening at Birmingham Central Library in 2005, the exhibition went on tour around the country and also New York in 2011. A record of the exhibition is now housed in the library's archives along with the world's first book on Bhangra culture which Gursh contributed to. Gursh is excited about the new exhibitions spaces in the new library and the link with the REP that will bring all sorts of performing arts together with the collections of the library.See video of Gursh Chana
Ian Francis, 36, from Balsall Heath
Ian runs Birmingham's Flatpack Festival which is held in venues across the city every March. Ian also has a fascination with the overlaps between film and photography - particularly before and during the birth of cinema, through devices like the magic lantern, the zoetrope, the mutoscope and flip-book (which was patented in Birmingham). He has used the library for local studies work as he has put together walking tours about Birmingham's hidden history.See video of Ian Francis
Seyi Kolade, 34, from Harborne
Seyi has been a passionate advocate of libraries for many years. The resources and facilities at her local branch have helped her to overcome past difficulties and build her confidence and skill as a writer. She is excited about the performance areas in the Library of Birmingham as she feels through the connections to music and technology they will make the library more attractive to young people.
Jo Ind, 48, from Kings Heath
Jo started researching her ancestors when the Birmingham Post, for whom she worked, launched a family history column. Her research at Central Library uncovered a wealth of fascinating facts about her family, including a relation to the famous prison reformer Elizabeth Fry. Jo thinks the Library of Birmingham is nothing less than what the people of Birmingham deserve: "Our library's put her bling on and she's moved on down to Broad Street", she says.
Adrian Lester, 42, from Birmingham
Adrian was born and raised in Birmingham and first acted with Birmingham Youth Theatre, which included appearances at the Rep. Well known on our television screens from his appearances in Hustle and Merlin, his extensive theatre experience has included major roles in Sweeny Todd,Company, As You Like It, Six Degrees of Separation, Kiss of the Spider Woman, A Winter's Tale, and A Midsummer Night's Dream.

I'm trying to understand the following basic property of the restriction of scalars:
Given an absolutely simple algebraic groups $G$ defined over a number field $k$, are there at most finitely (up-to $k$-isomorphism) many absolutely simple algebraic groups $H$ defined over $k$ with $$Res_{k/\mathbb Q}G\cong_{\mathbb Q} Res_{k/\mathbb Q}H?$$ (i.e. their restrictions are isomorphic over $\mathbb Q$)
I understand that it follows that $G$ and $H$ are $k$-forms of each other and good understanding of the possible forms over the completions of $k$ should lead to an answer. This is because there is a theorem by Borel and Serre that establish the finiteness of forms that agree at all but finitely many completions.
Therefore my vague intuition is that the answer is yes, but I can't find a precise proof. Thinking about it also directed me to an even more basic question:
Given $G$ and $H$, two forms of each other (i.e., $G$ and $H$ both defined over $k$, and are isomorphic over the algebraic closure $\bar k$.) Is $G$ and $H$ isomorphic over $k_v$ for all but finitely many valuations $v$ of $k$?
I think that a positive answer to the latter should imply a positive answer to the former, but I think the latter might have a negative answer...
I'll be a happy if someone can shed some light about it and\or guide me to the relevant results in the literature. Thanks!

WELLSBURG - A computer program aimed at streamlining school libraries and a playground for the preschool program at Brooke High School will be the first projects to receive funds from the Brooke County school board's lease with Chesapeake Energy.
The board has received a $661,955 signing fee for leasing of up to 189 acres of school property throughout the county.
The board on Monday agreed to spend $51,625 of the money to purchase and install of the Follett Destiny Library Manager program, through which books in the county's school libraries may be catalogued, barcoded for checkout and return and identified according to their reading levels.
The system was suggested by Dollie Kidd, reading specialist, who last fall brought in Malbert Smith, a nationally known reading specialist, to talk to local educators about his system for matching children with the books that most suit their reading levels.
The board also agreed to allocate $10,000 for a playground for children in the preschool program at Brooke High School. Through the program, high school students interested in careers in education or day care management gain first-hand experience working with children under the direction of their adult instructors. Kathy Kidder, superintendent, said staff and volunteers have raised $25,000 through grants and fundraisers for the playground.
The board also authorized Rob Robinson,facilities supervisor, to seek bids for new work stations, tables, shelving and carpet for the high school's library.
Board President Jim Piccirillo said the library's carpet hasn't been replaced since the school was built more than 40 years ago.
The lease was approved on the condition no wells be established on school property. Piccirillo said Chesapeake hasn't begun drilling on any school property or indicated where or when it will drill.
In other business, the board heard from parents Amy Spurrier and Amy Talbott, who expressed concerns about their children and other pupils at Wellsburg Middle School completing a self-paced online Spanish course there.
They and other pupils didn't start the course until six weeks into the school year and have been told they must make up for the missed time by the current semester's end, they said. They added they're concerned their children will receive poor grades that will affect their high school transcripts.
Kidder said the course was begun late because the school district had tried unsuccessfully to find a Spanish teacher to teach in person at the school. Piccirillo said the state Department of Education now requires school districts to offer two years of a foreign language at middle schools.
Wellsburg and Follansbee middle schools share a French teacher, but the large number of pupils at the two schools and a scheduling conflict prevent them from sharing the Spanish teacher at Follansbee, Kidder said.
She said the state offered for the school district to use the online Spanish course at no cost on a trial basis.
She said parents of middle school pupils may determine whether their children's grades are included in their high school transcripts after their children have completed a test determining their grade for a course.
Talbott, who also teaches at Wellsburg Middle, questioned whether pupils are retaining what they have been taught.
Valerie Smith, curriculum director for grades sixth through 12th, said she will contact the course's online facilitator about their concerns.

(sorry, not exactly a coding question)
Say I want to install something to the directory C:\pony but the folder 'pony' does not exist, how can I get InstallShield to inform the user that the folder 'pony' does not exist and ask the user if he or she wants to create the directory.
What happens now is the directory is automatically created.
Is this simply a limitation of the install shield I'm using (2008 Express)?

9-Inch Rear - From Junkyard To JewelryWritten by on September 18, 2013 The last real racing component you can get from your local junkyard and turn into a reliable piece of racing gear
If you do any bench racing with racers that have been around long enough to get gray hair on their heads, many will tell stories of raiding junkyards for chassis, engines, rearends, and practically anything else they needed to make a race car. And then, they will usually tell you those days are long gone.
They are mostly right. All the good racing stuff has been picked through and bought up long ago. A good Chevelle or metric GM chassis is about as common in a junkyard these days as the proverbial hen's teeth. Today, junkyards are mostly filled with minivans, four-cylinder engines, and automatic transmissions.
But that doesn't mean you are completely out of luck. Another common find in the modern junkyard is a work truck. They are probably beaten half to death with no chance of ever being serviceable again, but many of the Fords out there are outfitted with the old reliable 9-inch rearend. You can still find 9-inch center sections pretty reliably at most junkyards for a reasonable price. And when you do, you can build yourself a spare center section, or even a new gearset for your 9-inch racing rearend.
The 9-inch rears are the mainstays in any class where a quick-change rear isn't allowed. Heck, because of their efficiency and reduced drag compared to a quick-change, we know many racers who prefer to run a 9-inch even when a quick-change is an option.
Transmission and driveline specialist Jim Cook knows all the tricks, so when we noticed what originally looked like a rusty hunk of scrap iron and he told us it was going to be a new center section for a winning Street Stock race team we took notice. We also took our camera out. Along the way Cook shared some excellent tips that will help anyone out when building their own 9-inch center section. Let's get to it.

2 Teardown specialist Joe Laster gets to work. With a junkyard gear, it's almost always better to be safe than sorry and automatically replace the bearings and races, so after the caps are marked teardown is relatively straightforward.3 Breaking the pinion nut loose with a wrench is a nearly impossible task—it's just too hard to keep the pinion from spinning too. But a strong impact wrench can usually get the nut loose with little more than a strong grip on the yoke.4 Getting the pinion out of the case can be tough. Laster makes it work by placing a ball-peen hammer over the end of the pinion shaft and giving it a couple good pumps with a small sledge.5 Once the pinion and cover is off, make sure not to loose the shim that's between the cover and the case itself. This shim controls the pinion depth and usually makes a good starting point with your new gearset.8 On the left is our stock case. On the right is a Ford Motorsports case that Cook will be using in a gear build for a team racing in NASCAR's Camping World Truck Series. You can see the extra vertical rib in the red case and also how the horizontal ribs are extended farther to the end near the bolt holes to strengthen it. The red case is also nodular iron instead of cast iron. Sometimes, you can find a gear case like this in a classic Mustang, but they are getting pretty rare in the junkyards. Still, Cook says the standard case we're building will be more than strong enough for Street Stock racing.9 Here's a pleasant surprise, this unit came with a posi-traction unit. They aren't useful for the racetrack, but street rodders value them. If you wind up with one instead of the usual open diff, don't trash it. Put it up on Ebay and get a couple hundred dollars of your investment back.10 There is also a bearing and race in the pinion cover. The race is pressed in. You can knock it out with a punch if it needs to be replaced.
13 We're jumping ahead in the build process a little with this photo because the pinion is already installed, but you can see where Cook removed some material around the bearing support boss.14 Here's another area to make sure to check before you get too far in your rebuild. The pinion yoke on the right is the original after it has been cleaned up in the bead blaster. At first it looks good, but notice how the collar has an irregular shape worn into it (compare it to the good yoke on the left). This is from movement in the U-joint and tons of miles. The owner of the car probably blamed the driveline vibrationon "stupid American cars" but it really was a maintenance issue. For racing, it will need to be replaced.15 Cook presses a new pinion bearing onto the pinion gear. If you don't have a hydraulic press, find a buddy who has one. Don't try to knock it in place with a hammer.16 Cook measures the stock crush sleeve that helps locate the pinion gear's depth. The stock crush sleeve will compress under racing conditions and shouldn't be used, but its width will help give you a good starting point for setting pinion depth.17 Cook uses a sleeve like this from Ratech that includes shims also. He finds the right shim combination to get the same width as the stock crush sleeve (at least within 0.001-inch).18 If you are using new bearings, it's a good idea to match them up with new races. Here, Cook presses a new race into the pinion cover.20 Cook has a unique trick for determining the correct crush sleeve width. Instead of installing everything in the case, he simply sets the pinion and cover back into the hydraulic press and provides some pressure using a sleeve. The cover should spin relatively freely without too much drag. If the cover won't spin, add more shims.
24 This 7.00:1 gearset going in is a used unit sold by a Cup team. Cook has worked in Cup shops and maintains contacts throughout, so we don't know where he sourced these gears from, but Roush Yates Performance Parts stocks a large selection of used gears and will ship to you. In this case, these gears have been lightened and polished and can usually be had with one race (or less) on them for less money than purchasing a new set of standard gears.25 Whenever he works with used ring gears, Cook always runs a whetstone over the back of the gear to make sure no burrs or trash keep the gear from seating evenly onto the spool or locker.26 Because this gear will be used on a dirt car, Cook is installing the ring gear onto a spool. For asphalt racing a locker should be used to provide best traction.27 If you are short on cash, you can use a mini-spool, which you can see here. A mini-spool uses a stock diff case to hold the ring gear. It usually costs only $40 or so versus $120 for a full spool, but because it uses a stock diff case it also comes with about a 4-pound weight penalty versus a spool. That may not sound like much at first, but remember, we're talking about rotating weight which must be spun up by the engine before it gets to the rear wheels.28 Just so you can see the difference, Cook is holding a plain-jane 7/16 bolt (right) so you can compare it to the 7/16 with the 1/2-inch shoulder.29 Just so you can see the difference, Cook is holding a plain-jane 7/16 bolt (right) so you can compare it to the 7/16 with the 1/2-inch shoulder.
31 Cook always applies grease to all the roller bearings to make sure they have plenty of lubrication when first used. We can finally set the spool and ring gear into place in the case.32 Lift up slightly on the ring gear so that you can slide the new races onto the roller bearings. You can do this before setting the gear and spool into the case, but the races always seem to fall off and go rolling underneath your workbench if you try to install them first.33 Next come the adjusters, which fit on the outside of both races and into the threads cut into the case.34 Here's a look at how tight the lower ratio ring gear can get to the case's pinion bearing support and exactly where Cook removed material.35 Using an adjuster nut wrench, Cook can thread the adjusters in or out to move the ring gear horizontally in relation to the pinion gear to change the lash.36 Lash is checked with a dial indicator every 90 degrees. It should be between 0.008 and 0.010 with no single point outside that range by more than a couple thousandths.38 After spinning the assembly through several times, a pattern starts to appear where the contact between the ring-and-pinion wears off the paint. When the driver is on the throttle the contact area between the ring-and-pinion will move toward the outside edge of the ring gear. Because of this, you want the pattern to be just inside of center on the ring gear. The pattern you see here is just about perfect. If you need to adjust the wear pattern, you can change the shim thickness between the case and pinion cover.

I've received an email this morning from a credible source informing me that our good friend Giuseppe Severino passed away over the night. I've yet to confirm it 100 percent but everything so far points to it being true. Giuseppe and I have exchanged emails several times. He was very friendly, enthusiastic about concept art and seemed like a really nice guy. May he be remembered with all of the fantastic artwork he has left behind. He was only 33 years old.
Please visit his blog and take in some of the wonderful work he has produced over the years. We will miss him greatly.
