Does anyone know, if you have to pay non contract players for playing in a reserves/u18 match? Would really help Thanks

Proving The Media Wrong...
Club Info
League Two time. We are now professional! Pretty much everyone predicted relegation, including the board. Spoiler alert... that didn't happen.
The Season
Unbelievable. That's how I'd describe this season. We proved everybody wrong by never dropping below 8th, eventually finishing 3rd. Auto promotion was our way up! No notable cup runs this season though, but who cares when we got promoted!

It took a while to sign him, since I've been trying since BSP years... but finally, we got our man. And what a signing he was! Sure, the goals were shared, but he still scored 16 in 37. Fully deserving of this award!

Is anybody having rep issues? My rep continues to fall, regarless of how well my team is doing. I've seen a season on season improvement, yet the rep continues to dwindle. I rose slightly after climbing out of the BSS, but since then, it's declined.
Any tips on raising rep, other than winning stuff? I guess a good cup run could help? I've had absolutely no luck in the cups though. Best i've done was get to the semi's of the FA trophy, but had a defender sent off after 30 secs killed my chances in that game.
Going to be tough! Only got a squad of about 15. managed to keep some key performers from last year though and the spine is still there so i'm not sure where i'll end up!
Yes Utdchamp, I seem to be getting that too. I go to cup games against teams lower than the BSS or BSN and my team is rated as underdogs. I definetly think there maybe a bug with reputation.
The more I think about it the more I think something is wrong. I made the FA Cup Semi last year, and still beneath Mansfield (and similar teams) which I've been for a long time now. Started a thread in the mains to see if others are experiencing similar issues. At least it makes this challenge more challenging...
True, but I think it might be a problem for peole like GOM, who didn't have immediate success, as his teams rep kept falling, so eventually he was unable to sign many players. I think this might be the cause of that situation?
It's going to have an effect on matchday performance aswell, as everytime your players take to the field, they'll feel inferior, even if they are superior.
My latest stats were:
100-1 winners BSP 1st season-finished 17th.
500-1 winners BSP 2nd season-finished 9th.
2000-1 winners BSP 3rd-ongoing.
Now how does that work, considering the squad is far stronger, financial results have been better, and the season on season results have improved?

Sorry haven't updated my game status in awhile, still playing but nothing on note, still in the conference north with Chester, usually finishing mid-table, up to the 2019/20 season, had a few offers of other jobs and linked with jobs all over including championships teams.
Being a mathematician myself, it must be extremely difficult to balance all the reps together, club, league, etc, if not impossible.
Quick question though, I used the save in this thread, page 1 or 2, are others?

The season was a great success up until the tail end of the season. Nonetheless, it was still a fantastic achievement to come 3rd despite disappointment in the season. We led the table for part of the season which is satisfying enough for me to be pleased for the season.
Cups were great this year as well, we made it too the FA Cup 3rd round where we lost out to Doncaster 2-0. The FA Trophy was more of a success as we made it all the way to Wembley, but sadly we lost out to non-league Colwyn Bay and their army of Jonny Foreigners.
Key Players
William Collins - Captain Fantastic was absolutely superb again as he settled for being the rock in defence once more, and he also contributed heavily with some important goals. He's my personal player of the year.
Tamer Tuna - The young Turk was a great addition to the squad, he played fantastically against us last year when he played for Bromley and I took the opportunity to sign him when he was released. 16 goals was a very good return from him.
Ben Wright - The experienced striker was the oldest player established in the squad at 33 and it paid off. 17 goals made him our top scorer; a fantastic return although sadly it may be his last season here.
Omar Ellabdellaoui - Omar was a great signing, he arrived on a free early in the season and proved to be a fantastic signing, he was a superb playmaker in the centre.
Laste Dombaxe - Another superb signing, 20 assist made him an essential part of the team this year.

Season 2016/17
I DID have a season update prepared, but the forum decided that I'd taken too long writing it, and deleted the whole thing. Which is incredibly annoying, and I can only apologise but I don't feel like rewriting it.
I can tell you we took a small step back in the league, finishing 20th, but survived. Did nothing in the cups, no brilliant signings, and the finances are going down the pan. Roll on next season..
Lost in BSP Play-offs... again.
I'll do an update when I don't feel like drowning myself in the shower.
I have the sneaking supicion that my St Albans side might be in the FA Trophy Final.
it's a pity that we can't bet the clubs money in game judging by these odds.
I called up some of my U18s players for the second leg and we won 1-0. I started the game with an U18 keeper, 2 MC and 2 strikers with a couple of other U18 players on the bench. The hulking 6' 8" striker from the youth a few days earlier came on as sub. I doubt that he'll make the grade but with 4 star potential its worth letting him have a youth contract for a couple of years.
The annual youth intake has arrived again and this years selection is the worst i've seen yet. Worse is the fact that one of them is my son, my first one ever in 15 years of playing CM/FM and he's useless!

A pretty decent season all around. We made a few key signings, but probably lacking a decent striker, and stayed mid table throughout the season. Apart from surviving, nothing really of note to write about this season. Although I have been told I'm getting a new stadium, which is a ridiculous waste of money at this level. And it wont be big enought when we hit the big time.
Improve my strikeforce
Get slightly better back up players
Perhaps work out if any players ever, ever want to come on loan!

Season 3 - 2014/2015 - Blue Square Premier
Predicted Finish - 21st
Final Position - 3rd - Lost in Play-off Semi Final
FA Cup - 4th Round - 0-4 v Arsenal (A)
FA Trophy - Winners - 1-0 v Chelmsford (hollow victory)
Another season, another loss in the Play-off Semis. It's just gutting. I had a load of games postponed over Christmas, and so I played 17 games in March and April. I was playing players with 70% fitness. I was resting them for weeks at a time, we basically never trained - and I was trying to compete with Professional clubs with full-time players. The season went down to the wire, had I won the last game (I drew) we would have won the league. As it turned out, I finished 3rd, equal on points with 2nd and 1st with 3 worse goal difference.
I'm not going to screenshot my key players, they were all ****. We played like donkeys during the second half of the season. I'm going to sleep with all of their wives and put their children to work in sweat shops: I'm distraught, livid, gutted, incensed and a very sad panda. I will however divulge my ridiculous injury list (only for the last couple of months);
1st Choice DR & Captain - Missed all of March - 9 games
2nd Choice DR - Missed all of March and April - 17 games
1st Choice DL - Missed 1st 3 months of season and all of April (8 games)
1st Choice MR - Missed March and April - 17 games
1st Choice ST - Missed April - 6 games
Other 1st ST - Missed half of January, February, March and half of April. Over 20 games.
3rd Choice St - Missed 4 months at start of season, half of March - 5 games.
1st Choice AM - Missed all of March for U19 comp & half of April injured - 13 games
4th Choice ST - Missed all of March onwards - Broken Leg
2nd Choice RM/ST - Missed all of Jan, and all of April - 13 games
Joint 2nd CM - Missed march onwards - Broken Leg
3rd Choice CM - Missed all of March for U19 comp, all of April injured - 17 games.
So to summarise. I had no DR for my congested fixture list in March. I played my 3rd choice LB who is 'orange' there. I had no MR for April, I played a kid. During April I was stuck playing out of position wingers, kids, or players just back from fitness up front. I only had available 2 CMs after Christmas, they both played when utterly knackered. I was getting 2 injuries a game. Oh, and my 3 keepers didn't pick up a single knock all year (huzzah!)
Basically, I got screwed over. Hard.

Just secured promotion to the Championship! Still got 6 games remaining, so hopefully I don't screw up 1st place like I did in League 2!
100th game as manager of St Albans and the win gives us the BSS title with 5 league games and the FA Trophy final to go.
I've just had a look at my profile and the Financial Control bar is full, yet the club owes almost £200k
Not a full update, but I've got to the end of the regular season in my Marine game. I managed to finish 2nd in the league thanks to a strong finish, but was never in a position to challenge AFC Telford despite having the top scorer in the league (Ben Williamson 29 goals), and the top creator (Stefan Oakes 22 assists). Anyway, wish me luck in the play offs...
Gilbster, Thats bad luck missing out on the title i can sympathise with the injury problems, having some of those myself.
Now in Mar 1st and 2nd choice CB's out for 5 -6 weeks, first 3 strikers were out for a month or more, now coming back. Best 2 cm's, 1 out for 8 months the other for 4 months and 2 other cm's out for a few weeks. I'm not down to the bare bones as i have a lot of NC players, although the finances are suffering.
Still you are lucky to get a sniff of the title, last 5 winners of the BSP on my game had 93,94,94, last years was 100 with 88 for 4th, this year the leader has 93 points from 40 games!

Heartbreak again as the curse of the play-offs struck again, this time having won the first leg 1-0 away from home, only to fall at home 2-0 to Gateshead.
The season wasn't a bad one in terms of points accumulated and finishing position, but the league was dominated by Solihull Moors who maintained top spot for 32 of the 42 games, meaning they were never going to be caught.
Plus points were the fact that three of my players were very close to a 20-goal season, as well as a fair amount of the squad achieving 7.00+ ratings for the campaign.

1. Avoid a mid-season slump
2. Find a striker that can work alongside Billy Paynter
3. Expand the scouting range
A 2 season update here from list member #1
My 3rd season in the Blue Square South was a rip-roaring success, winning theleague rather than failing in the play-offs. A 2nd round FA Cup jaunt meant my coffers remained slightly less empty than they could have been, but still around 200k in the red. Mysquad did OK, without anyone really standing out.
My 4th season, and first in the Blue Square Premier, ended with another top spot, however it all came down to the last game of the season. Darlington needed a win to take automatic promotion, having beaten me two weeks before. Luckily for me they had a man sent off after 23 minutes and could only manage a 0-0 draw, meaning that I flukedpromotion. A win against even-more-non-league-than-Hastings Colwyn Bay also gave me another trophy in the cabinet.
The most intriguing moment of the season came my my assman suggested this guy as a coach. If only I had the £. Squad-wise, again no-one stood out although an honourable mention goes to my Columbian Christian Montana who scored a goal every other game, despite managing to have awful performances in-between the goals.
Next season sees me take on League 2, having persuaded the chairman to buy the ground for the princely cost of 6.5k per month for the next millennium, and him returning the favour by giving me less budget for wages than last season, and £0 transfer funds. My aim is simply to survive.
Early season progress is looking gooooooooooood! Confidence is high and individual performances are excellent.
Fingers crossed I can escape the division at the fourth attempt! :o

My Prediction: Top half of the table.
Final Position: 12th
2013-2014 ended with promotion via the playoffs and a Manager of the Year award for moi. This season, Twelfth was more than we deserved after a season full of atrocious defending, Thankfully, Aaron Woodley and new signing Alex Jones served up over 40 goals between them to help us on our way to a comfortable position in the Blue Square Premier
Next season, the aim will be to bolster the defence in order to make a proper attempt at getting promoted, hopefully a takeover should be concluded as the chairman wants to leave, with a bit of luck, they'll clear the debt that the club has got itself into (despite me keeping well within budget.)
FA Cup: Still searching for my first FA Cup win after a 2-1 defeat to Sutton United in the Fourth Qualifying Round.
FA Trophy: Shocked 3-2 by Hampton and Waterlooville in the First Round.
Managers Player of the Season
Jernade Meade: Could easily have been one of our strikers but 10 goals,12 assists and an average rating of 7.21 was more than enough to secure Jernade his pick for player of the season.

Transfers - The £850k sale of Duarte (against my will!) is the obvious headline here!
Finances - All money from the sale of Duarte disappeared when our board needed to upgrade the seating capacity of our stadium.
General squad info
Star players:
1- Jonas Pettersson - Our club captain now has 50 goals in his 81 league games with us.
2- Zlatko Rozman - The Croatian centre-back joined us on a free and marshalled the defence all season.
3- Andreas Lerby - A Danish centre-back who only joined us in January, but had a huge impact.
Notable mentions: Derek Wright - A Chelsea youth product who we signed from Sheffield Wednesday on a free. Ricardo Duarte - The Portuguese midfielder signed for us on a free and was clearly too good for League 1. The chairman sold him for £850k to Championship Norwich in January.
Other information: With the need to increase our seating capacity to meet with Championship regulation, we will be temporarily playing our games at Doncaster's Keepmoat stadium.

Blue Square South survival was only guaranteed after the penultamate game of the season. Finished in 18th place. Finances are becomming a major problem, and my wage budget for next season has now been reduced again to £2200 p/w. I have earmarked a number of players who I feel will make my team more formidable, but I am not sure whether the wage restrictions will allow me to bring in all those that I want.

I see there are a lot of people storming through it. I'm still slowly getting through my first year in charge of Hitchin! Sitting not so comfortably in 18th (1 point from the drop), we have just seven games left. It's tight at the bottom, 21st place on 35 points and up to 13th on 42 points. A last gasp push should keep us from the drop, but we've been poor all season, conceding far to many goals.
With practically the whole squad about to run out of contract at the end of the season (27 players, actually), I have decided that a complete rebuild in the off season is exactly what we need. I might keep just a couple of our 'star' players, but that's all. Here goes to staying up.
What an unfortunate name!
#58 – Bradford Park Avenue – Blue Square Bet North – 2013/14 - 5th - Promotion via Playoffs
I'm very happy that I have managed to win the playoffs, from 5th position this season. I read a number of things on the forums that are helpful to a Football Manager. If I had known how useful these things were, I could have won the league, but I am happy to promote via the playoffs anyway.
Finances – Very poor, currently £216k in the red, I'm yet to have a meaningful cup run, but let's see what happens next season.
Squad – Much better this season, I have a strong goalkeeper in Karius, who managed to achieve 13 clean sheets in the league this season. Still strong at left back and right back (they finished 1st and 2nd in the league in tackles/game chart) and in central midfield. Whilst weaker in central defence and left wing. I also have four strikers that are dangerous, a combined 48 goals between them.
Key Player Profiles
Matthew Paterson – Finished the season with 16 goals, my teams highest and the equal 6th highest in the league.
Loris Karius – Goalkeeper, Had a much better 2nd season, achieving 12 league clean sheets. Will be interesting to see how long I can keep him for. Also picked up 2 assists, with route 1 football.
Hard to pick a 3rd star, each player has contributed at a key time, or looked dangerous throughout the season, with no player being dragged through the season.
Conor Smith – I guess I will say this guy, very dangerous player. My 2nd highest goal scorer and 2nd highest assist maker (3rd highest amongst strikers in the league). Unfortunately he missed the final through injury.

#99 - menace- Hitchin Town Season Review
Hitchin Town Season Review 2012/13 - BSSAmazing second season on the pitch, weirdly this season plying my trade in the South(which is right - not sure why it would swap though), team played well all season adding together a decent fa cup run (3rd round - smashed by qpr) with consistent form in the league. Defence played brilliantly all season, conceding the least amount of goals in the league. With the forwards chipping in with about 70 goals, leaving a decent goal difference. Finishing the season needing a win to clinch the title in my 100th game in charge, was just magical!
Prediction: 22th
Finish: 1st
Table | Profile | Transfers | Squad
Unfortunately with the promotion comes harder challenges made even harder by the fact that even spending the whole of last season under the wage budget still couldn't turn a profit and am still heavily in debt, this mainly due to the stadium expansion (a whole 500) coasting 150k. This seasons wage budget is set to lower than last year which isn't good so if i can stay up it'll be a miracle as i have a truly awful midfield.

#2 Worksop BSP 2015/16
FA Cup - 3rd Rd
FA Trophy - winners
Season started a bit slowly but the team soon gelled and by 15 games were in the playoff positions where it hovered around for most of the season. A good late surge meant the team qualified with 3 games to go. Post Vale were however always way ahead of the rest. In the playoff semi i drew 2-2 away before winning 3-0 at home with 2 late goals. In the final i was under a lot of pressure but held out to go up.
In the FA cup i beat L1 Exeter 3-1 away before beating Port Vale at home. I was disappointed to go out to L2 Burton in the 3rd Rd.
In the FA trophy i had a couple of tough games against Port Vale and Tranmere but faced BSS Hayes in the final which i just about won.
With promotion the club has gone professional, i hope a few players can be put onto FT contracts because some can really improve. The training facilities will be upgraded for the first time. The 5130 stadium was completed at the start of the season although only once more than 1/3rd full, the board is converting 1750 into seats to meet league standards at a cost of 210K
Most of the team did well with perhaps 3 standout players:
Scapuzzi scored 29 goals in all competitions and with 13 assists provided a real cutting edge after a slow start to the season.
Selnaes is my best player and can play anywhere in midfield, however he has poor physical attributes and rarely lasts more than 70 mins, also injury prone he played only 29 games in the season.
Bule - only signed in jan and played just 10 games before a broken leg. averaged 7.37 in those games and really galvanised the team for the 2nd half of the season.

Harrow Borough | Season 2013/14 | Blue Square South
Table | Positions Graph | Squad | Finances | Transfers1 | Transfers2
A frustrating first half of the season littered with dropped points in injury time, including an incredible game where, having been 4-1 down, Patterson scored all five goals to put us 5-4 ahead, only for Salisbury to break Harrow hearts by scoring the latest of late equalisers. However, in the 2nd half of the season, things seriously picked up and soon - at the start of March - we were comfortably in the playoff places. Automatic promotion was never really a possibility - Woking had run away with the title and at the same time had a 9 point lead over 2nd place Welling with three games in hand. Had we started the season as we finished it, we would have pushed them very close, I am sure. I won my first manager of the month award for March which demonstrated how our hold on a playoff place strengthened - indeed, from March 15th, we broke a record by winning 7 games in a row, and I retained the award in April. Going into the last game of the season, I was two points ahead of Welling so I risked dropping a few players, which dramatically backfired, as I lost 2-0 to Salisbury, setting up a playoff semi-final meeting with them rather than Eastleigh.
This time, we turned them over, winning the tie 3-1, but the final, played at Welling's ground, was a disappointment, with extra time proving to be the final half-hour of football of our season.
Still, it was a huge step forward, and we were named as the overachievers of the season.
Cup runs this year were unremarkable in the extreme.
Key Players
Enric Valles - the missing ingredient. Did so well for us, and was the reason we reached the playoffs this year. Unfortunately his wage demands were obscene so I cashed in and he'll be moved on for a small fee in the summer. However, I do have an impressive replacement already.
Matthew Patterson - the vital free-scoring striker didnt miss many.
Jamie Tank* - getting (literally) stronger and stronger, will be the bed-rock of my defence at least until we get into League Two.
Christian Nanetti - very consistent throughout the season.
Jamie McCormack - Tank's impressive lieutenant.
(*= fans' player of the year)
The team of the year
The historical best XI
Next season, I will be looking to improve the squad and push for automatic promotion. I dont want to go through the horrors of the playoffs again!
Targets for 2013/14
Obtain a positive goal difference. Sounds odd but we were quite close this year until right at the end so that push from negative to positive would be a good step. SUCCESS
Top half finish. SHOULD follow if we do get a positive goal difference. SUCCESS
Sign at least one player who will have an AvR of over 7. SUCCESS - several times over!
Targets for 2014/15
Push for an automatic promotion place.
Keep the squad together.
Keep wages under control as the squad is pretty good now.

I apologize for the lack of certain screenshots in this update, but since I was away the last weekend at a place with limited Internet connection I was unable to give an update when I wanted it. So the screenshots here is a bit into the new season and might be lacking some information.
This season turned out great! We managed to get another promotion, now into Championship! Far more than I could ever hope for, but a great achievement for the team. It was close though as we were in 3rd before the last match, but only on goal difference behind Shrewsbury. We were up at home against Portsmouth while Shrewsbury met Barnsley at home as well. I was disappointment when we only managed a goal less draw, but to my amazement Barnsley managed a 0-1 win at Greenhouse Meadow. This ment we were up! We actually deserved it, since we were running away with along Doncaster untill we hit a major slump around Christmas, we slid down below the play off spots as we struggled to find the net. Luckily we started scoring again, and a great finish saw us up again.
Financially we are still struggling we are losing money every month since we only have a 5k stadium. I've been trying to get the board to expand it, but they are clear on the fact that we don't have the money. Still, allmost every match is a sell-out and we could have been making much more every match. Now, as the promotion is a fact, the board has agreed to expand the stadium.....or so I though. The are turning the rest of our stadium into seats! So our capacity will remain the same! But the good part here is that we will be loaning Watfords stadium for about half the season while the work is in progress. It's current capacity is about 17k, so we are likely going to make quite the buck compaired to what we are at the moment.
Most likely I need to completely revamp the squad. Many players have had golden agreements where they get a major payrise each promotion and some are getting far more than they deserve. So I expect a big clearance and loads of new players this pre-season.
Now, bring on Championship!

Well done GreyedOutMan - very happy for you. I felt quite guilty watching you do all the dogwork for the challenge, whilst struggling with your own game. Forza Harrow!
GreyedOutMan - that looks like an improvement over last year, tough luck on the playoff final - do you follow advice on next oppo. I tend to do so now and its proved invaluable when he suggests defensive positioning as i've won most games against the hard teams like in the BSP playoff final.
Tank isn't rated very highly or Valles was at L1 level. I had Nanetti playing as Truro last year, his attributes were much the same, he was a fantastic player scoring loads from the wings and seemly setting up all the other chances, was rated at championship level by my coaches but not as high this year by the looks of it

Manager of the Year Runner Up
An extremely pleasing season, which ended with auto promotion as we finished second. The few transfers we got in this season, who became first team players made a really big difference. Championship was alot easier than L1, I reckon this is due to being allowed to scout in Europe. Alot of new players signed, mostly young germans. Depending on how they will develop, I just hope some money can be made on selling them early in their career. Newcastle won the league, and none of the teams had a chance to compete with them, they were simply just too good. Still missing a solid keeper and a good left winger, and will be anxious to see how our attack can perform next season. May have to change to 4-4-1-1 due to lack of a good strikers.
Fa Cup: Our first good run here saw us exit in the semi finals. We entered in 3rd rnd and beat Reading 2-0 home. 4th rnd Cardiff 2-2 home, 2-1 away. 5th rnd Wes Brom 2-1 away. 6th rnd Birmingham 0-0 away, 2-1 home. and then heavily lost 4-1 to Watford in the semi finals.
LC: 2nd rnd win 3-1 away to Wycombe and lost 3-1 away to Sunderland in 3rd rnd.
Players of the season (and new notable young prospects)
- Carl Flynn: Still back bone of our defense.
- Daniel Rudwaleit: New signing previously Mainz. Young good prospect, one of the new signing who became first team regular.
- Eric Hernandez: New signing previously Bastia. Looks amazing. Currently in training to play DL for next season.
- Venusté Bola: New signing previously Swindon: Really happy with his performances this season and look forward to see him in next.
- Philipp Neumann: New signing previously Gladbach. Excellent prospect, will share more plytime with Rudwaleit next season.
- Marcos Costa: Still MVP and another amazing season for him.
- Manuel Mrmic: Really starting to become a great player. Did want to use him as winger, but he plays really well as MC.
- Ibrahim Turan: New signing previously Hertha BSC. High hopes for this one, second new signing that made first team regular.
- Jimmie Andersson: Only striker that was "consistant" over the season, but still a vital player for us.
The next names are all new signings, that as mentioned earlier, I hope can mature and become good for us, or atleast a nice income in the future.
Jürgen Weiler - Stephan Lange - Frank Wagner

Decent start to life in the BSP, currently sitting in 7th after 8 games, it would appear my defence is still pretty solid at this level (appart from a 5-1 thrashing at kidderminster!), but creating and scoring goals is a bit harder. Will be happy with mid table though!
Pushing for promotion, come on Hendon!
End Of Season Update 2012/13 | Blue Square South
(Above image has direct links to screenshots - Table&Graph/Squad/Board&Finances)
A long year ended not as I had hoped. Initially, I didnt expect much but a reasonable finish and some good results but instead I found my squad to be struggling for results. Initially we started ok with a nice unbeaten stretch of 9 games consisting of 4 wins. I figured this was a good start for our side but it soon began to slide. A defeat in the FA Cup 3rd Qualifying Round saw us fall on hard times, going a total of 13 games without a win with 7 defeats on the trot. The end of the season proved little better with defeats rolling on. Thankfully the odd win throughout the last months game us just enough to stay up. Finishing 17th with 44 points was just three above the drop zone and it could easily have been us. The end of year break will see practically the entire club stripped down to just bones with over 20 players set to leave us. A complete re-build is needed.
In all, 17th place is better than an immediate return and allows me to build an entire new team to challenge higher up the league, preferably securing a playoff spot next year along with promotion as our finances are destroying the club slowly but surely. An entire rebuild will allow us to re-focus our wage budget.
In terms of key players, there weren't many. Perhaps Lewis Powell and Sam Kelly were ones to note having scored many of the goals that ultimately kept us up. Chaffey is worth a mention too. Whilst considerably poor in terms of attributes, he put in some outstanding performances on the pitch.
Rebuild the squad from the ground up to create a playoff challenging squad.
Finish at least in the top half of the table.
Sign at least one 'superstar' player (ie; capable of playing somewhere much better than at Hitchin and consistently achieves high ratings)

DeadPanda - well done on beating the drop, you have a lot of 4 or 5 star players, i'm guessing they are equally rubbish rather than all excellent. Great work on the table and squad image
Just signed a swedish coach and found the extra knowledge has resulted in a whole host of really excellent young italian and german players appearing on the player search screen. None will join me yet but if i wait 6 months maybe some will.
Things have taken a turn for the worse, but i'm sure if I had the money these threewould help turn it around!
Half way through the season, sitting top of the league, I'm quite happy with that
63 jskovc
So just an update after my second season. Last season, we in Bedford just only survived from relegation in BSN. So then i let the most of the team go on transfer free, and started to build up a quite new team, (and with great succes). The goals in the season, was again just to survive in BSN, to get to the third qual round in FA Cup, an to get some experience in the FA Trophy. And we made succes in all three goals. In the FA Cup, we where first beaten in the third round against Chelsea (0-7). In the FA Trophy we where beaten in first round, on penalty against Lowestoft. And in the BSN we where hitting the big streak, and ended 3rd, and got promotion in the playoff final, with a 4-2 victory against Chester.
It's strangely sad to be setting my home attendance record at Doncaster's ground. Although the extra money coming is nice. As is a 6-0 win over Brighton in our 2nd Championship game!
Stafford Rangers- End Of Season Review- 2014/15
Participant Number 54
League Status
Final Position- 14th
Media Prediction- 21st
Again another mixed start, which saw me 5th for a brief moment but as with the usual Stafford Rangers way we fumbled and dropped points like they were hot plates.
Nevertheless I please the board once more with a mid table finish, after they gave me their aim of avoiding relegation again, I was rather ticked off after having survived now for two seasons in a row. I was expecting them to show me a little more faith but nope. So instead I agreed with them that I could push for a mid table if they up my wage budget by £150 a week! They did!
I didn't disappoint, however here is my progress throughout the season so you can see at what game did it all turn around.
We started great but overall the winter season doomed us, we do not play well around Christmas time, I wish to change this just have to figure out how. Maybe go more defensive around that time of year? Who knows.
Here is my usual goal analysis
Cup Status
Again I pushed for the cup status, merely for the funding. When your a little team like us, every little helps by getting as far in to it as possible. The big pay out when you get a big team to visit your ground. Sadly it hasn't happened for me yet! But it will
My aim for cup status next season is to try at least get into the First Round of the FA Cup and gradually progress further into the FA Trophy! I need some silverware to my name to warrant being down in BSN for so long.
14 players in total were brought in this season, as you can see the usual panic buys in February to try and gain some crucial points as to not risk dropping further down the table.
Some loses due to greedy ******** wanting more money but no-one really gutting, but Michael Lea and Elliot Johnson will be missed in my defense but I'm sure they will be replaced.
The talent behind my signings the best by a long way off being the Swede Samuel Adjei, I recommend him to many after he scored 14goals for me this season, he had his fair share of goal droughts. But the season would of been far dire without him upfront!
The flop this season, none of my signings have been flops but some are very much till trying to break into the first team so for now I am happy with them, Jamar Dobson has proved to be pretty decent on the pitch but a bad attitude towards the fans means they dislike him. And are worried his status here at the club will doom our morale.
Not much to say about these as I don't handle them, I get given a wage budget and I try not to go over it. If I ever do, players will be axed and dropped to a minimum deal to keep the club above water.
So with this season at a close.......
Aims for Next Season
*Achieve a stronger mid table finish and push for late play off spot
*Discover the essence of why we perform so badly at Christmas time
*Have a Christmas Number 1?!? Maybe it's on the cards,
*And finally First Round of FA Cup
#84 – Hastings United – Npower Football League Two – 2015/16 - 10th
In fairness, 10th place was probably flattering. I was looking over my shoulder for the majority of the season as the relegation zone was rarely far away. A run of good form towards the tail end of the season allowed me to climb the table and finish in what looks like a comfortable midtable position.
My best player was probably target man Luke Webster who hit 17 goals.
Close season signing Chris Hogg should help shore up a ropey defence.
#86 - Gilbster - 2014/15 - North Ferriby - BSP - End of Season Update
Table | Pos | Squad | Finances | Transfers
We started the season by moving into our new stadium. I just hope that as we eventually move up the system, that it will be expandable, or else its the biggest money sink I've ever seen.
Unfortunately due to my wage budget shrinking yet again, and my board being strict and vetoing almost every signing I tried to make, as it would break the budget, I only got in 3 more players. I am fearful for next season, as I cant renew contracts without money, so will probably struggle big time or have to rebuilt from scratch.
Our league form was marginally better than last season, a bit more consistent, however must have been fined at least 3 or 4 times in season, for too many players getting yellow cards in a match. This cant continue!
We managed to put together a couple of good cup runs, to FA Cup 2nd Round, and FA Trophy Quarter Finals.
Rebuild squad from scratch
Improve on league position and hopefully push for playoffs
If above fails, just stay in this division!
Improve finances somehow!

2016-17 Season Review:
Another surprisingly straight forward season. Cup runs were a welcome diversion.
£1.3m agreed to be spent on both our training and youth facilities. That was cancelled at the end of season. We have a ground expansion to become all seater about to be performed, but we are moving to share with Sutton United while it completes. Their ground isn't fit for League Two, let alone the Championship!?
2017-18 Season Preview:
We're going to get whipped. I just turned down the Leeds job. They had a £500k wage budget and £3.6m transfer budget. I'm currently spending £25k on wages and have no transfer budget.
Finally! Blue Square Premier, here we come! Get in!
Here's hoping for no injury dramas in the last seven games
New signing has started the season by winning 3 penalties in the first 3 games, 1 in each. I'm beginning to think he's a bit of a diver!
Grats on promotion to the Championship Brizza, not so on having to share stadiums with Sutton United. Good luck no less.
Having released all bar a couple of players from my squad, a complete rebuild got underway prior to the new transfer window and implementation of a new budget. This inadvertantly allowed me to sign a number of players that took my wage budget to £1000p/w more than what I was later allocated thanks to a reduction in wage budget (which was thanks to my poor financial control and running the club into major debt last year). With a budget of just £2375 and a current spend of £3300, I'm in a position where the club wont let me sign any more players - which causes problems as I'm lacking for one, a backup keeper and other backup/sub roles. It's left me in a position where youngster on £5 contracts are all that I can get. I kind of have to resort to these just so I have some backups :o
Here's hoping none of my squad gets injured or tired. Ever.
PS; I hate how when I try to someone they want say £180 and no less but then they go and happily sign for an AI club on just £90p/w. happens all the time.

Promotion was finally achieved in the best season I've had on FM for a good few years, finishing the campaign with 100+ in both goals and points. The team hit the ground running as opening 4-0 and 3-0 victories gave big confidence to the team. The confidence never waivered throughout and resulted in a campaign where the team were never knocked off top spot. No mid-season slump or poor away performances ruined the flow of good results and promotion was confirmed with 7 games still remaining.

KILLEEN (October 24, 2012)--West Ward Elementary School principal Maureen Adams of Killeen is one of 10 people nationwide chosen to be a part of Citizens in Space, a non-profit program that promotes space and exploration for everyday people.
Adams and the nine others could take a trip into space aboard an XCor Aerospace commercial spacecraft in as little as 18 months.
"It's hard to describe that kind of excitement," Adams said.
This space exploration opportunity is made possible through the United States Rocket Academy, a non-profit organization based in Texas, and private donors.
Students and staff at West Ward Elementary said they're excited for Adams.
"I get to have the first astronaut principal ever, and I can't wait to brag to all my friends," said fifth grader Aishia Sterling.
"For children, it means children in elementary school will sit with teachers and build experiments and have their experiments tested in space," said Terri Carroll of XCor Aerospace.
For students at West Ward Elementary, learning about space is nothing new,
The school has been a NASA-sponsored school for the past 12 years.
Getting a little extra funding and educational resources has allowed Adams and the students opportunities to experiment with science and learn about space together.
"The more I learn with the children, the better I'll be prepared for the trip," said Adams.
"Texas is really going to be transitioning in the near future," said Edward Wright, chairman of the United States Rocket Academy.
Wright said the state will soon have even more opportunities for space research and exploration.
"It will be one-stop shopping, and Texas is going to become the space state" Wright added.
SpaceX, which has already sent two unmanned capsules to the International Space Station, now operates a rocket testing facility in McGregor west of Waco and is considering a site in South Texas for a launch facility.

Many DNA isolation protocols use a Proteinase K digestion to remove proteins. This is often performed at 50 °C. Why is this?
Proteinase K activity is greatly increased by addition of denaturing agents like SDS or urea (Hilz et al., 2008), indicating that the denaturation of the substrates helps Proteinase K to degrade them.
Increasing the temperature to 50°C will also unfold some proteins already, making it easier for the Proteinase K to degrade them. The proteinase K seems to be a pretty stable enzyme, and can still work at this temperature.
In your linked wiki article: "An elevation of the reaction temperature from 37 °C to 50 - 60 °C may increase the activity (of Proteinase K) several times." The enzyme works faster at 50°C.

Now that Kernel 3.6 has been officially released, I'm wondering if the next Ubuntu point release will include the new Kernel?
12.04.2 includes Kernel 3.5 along with a newer Xorg, as part of the hardware enablement package, which is available here:
Do note that the Ubuntu image ISOs are also updated to use the new stack, so if you are doing new installations and want to keep the released 12.04 stack, you need to install from the older ISOs. These kernel upgrades are also not offered as part of normal upgrades, so there's no need to worry that you'll be upgraded from one major kernel version to the other. See the wiki page for more information.
The 3.2 kernel released with 12.04 will continue to be maintained for the life time (5 years) of precise. (and also Debian Wheezy)
This is a new policy. The decision to have such a updated kernel and Xorg was decided at the 2012 Ubuntu Developer Summit (UDS) in Oakland.
The most exciting feature about 3.5 (IMHO), Seccomp2, is part of the Precise 3.2 kernel.
Not officially. LTS releases typically don't change kernel versions; see 10.04 Lucid -- it's still on the 2.6.x series.
But note these exceptions:

It may be a stupid question, i'm trying to find a closed form for an integral similar to a Fourier transform on $S^{n}$ but i'm stuck... Let $\alpha>0$, the integral i can't solve is
where $p,q\in S^{n}$, $\left< \cdot,\cdot \right>$ is the euclidean scalar product on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ and $d\mu_{S^{n}}$ is the measure induced by euclidean measure on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. so the question is: is there a closed form for $I(p,\alpha)$ only in terms of $p$ and $\alpha$?
Thank you in advance!

7 Essential Rules to a Happy Family Life
7 of 8
Let Go of Your Role
I have an older brother I've always got on well with. Even though we're both grown up, there's still a tendency for him to play the role of older brother with me. It's bearable, but quite irritating. So a couple of years ago, I raised the subject diplomatically and asked if he could drop the big brother act. He got the message and said he would do his best. A few weeks later, he explained patiently to me that although he was trying, it was very difficult because I was still doing the kid brother routine. Do you know, I hadn't even noticed, but he was quite right.
When you've spent 18 years in a role, it's so easy to sink back into it. Try as we might, people get pigeonholed in families: the clever one, the absent-minded one, the shy one, the bossy one, the unreliable one, and so on. These roles play off one another -- you're the clever one, or the bossy one, in relation to your siblings. After you leave home, it may well be that that you're actually not so clever, or silly, or funny, or considerate in relation to everyone else.
So you find your own level in the big wide world, but whenever you're around the family, they expect you to revert to being funny, bossy, pompous, or laid back. Because they expect it, you do it. The role is so natural you slip into it without thinking. Meanwhile you're expecting them to be whatever-it-is they always were, and they're obligingly cooperating.
None of which should be a problem, except that it just is. It's frustrating when your family treats you like they always did, as though you hadn't grown up. In fact sometimes it goes well beyond frustrating, to the point where it can cause real trouble.
So if you want them to drop the bossy act, you need to stop acting dopey. If you want them to take you seriously, stop playing the joker. If you're fed up being patronized, stop behaving like a kid. It will take them months or years to notice and respond -- it won't happen overnight -- but in the end they'll learn to judge you by your behavior now, not the way you used to be years ago.

Is the following true: If two chain complexes of free abelian groups have isomorphic homology modules then they are chain homotopy equivalent.
Yes, this is true. Suppose $C_*$ is such a chain complex of free abelian groups.
For each $n$, choose a splitting of the boundary map $C_n \to B_{n-1}$, so that $C_n \cong Z_n \oplus B_{n-1}$. (You can do this because $B_{n-1}$, as a subgroup of a free group, is free.) For all $n$, you then have a sub-chain-complex $\cdots \to 0 \to B_n \to Z_n \to 0 \to \cdots$ concentrated in degrees $n$ and $n+1$, and $C_*$ is the direct sum of these chain complexes.
Given two such chain complexes $C_*$ and $D_*$, you get a direct sum decomposition of each, and so it suffices to show that any two complexes $\cdots \to 0 \to R_i \to F_i \to 0 \to \cdots$, concentrated in degrees $n$ and $n+1$, which are resolutions of the same module $M$ are chain homotopy equivalent; but this is some variant of the fundamental theorem of homological algebra.
This is special to abelian groups and is false for modules over a general ring.
Yes, this is true, and it does not matter whether the complexes are bounded from any side (nor of course does it matter whether the homology is finitely generated). This is so because:
The natural functor $K^b(\mathbb Z\mathrm{-free})\to D^b(\mathbb Z)$ from the homotopy category of bounded complexes of finitely generated free abelian groups to the derived category of bounded complexes of finitely generated abelian groups is an equivalence. This means that a map of bounded complexes of finitely generated free abelian groups which induces an isomorphism in homology is an homotopy equivalence.
This and the fact that one can always lift a morphism $f:H_\bullet(X)\to H_\bullet(Y)$ between the homologies of two complexes of free abelian groups to a morphism $\tilde f:X\to Y$ of complexes which induces $f$ give an affirmative answer to your question.

Hornets Hold The Lions To Lowest Point Total Of Season
Posted: 7:13 PM Feb 9, 2013
Reporter: ESU, posted by Kinch O'Kelley
Hornets Sting The Lindenwood Lions, Twice
February 9, 2013- The Emporia State men held Lindenwood, the highest scoring team in the MIAA, to their lowest point total in almost three years with a 61-52 victory in White Auditorium. With the win the Hornets evened their season record at 10-10.
The first half saw three ties and four lead changes as neither team took more than a five point lead. Gavin Brown hit a pair of free throws with 2:43 to give the Hornets a 25-23 lead in the last scoring of the half.
Emporia State used a 13-0 run to turn a two point deficit into an 11 point lead with 12:57 left in the game. The Hornets would not trail the rest of the game. The Lions cut the lead to six with 2:52 left but Emporia State responded with a 7-0 run highlighted by a fast break layup from Terrence Moore and a dunk from Paul Bunch. Bunch hit two free throws with 37 seconds left to give the Hornets a 13 point lead and seal the win.
Kaleb Wright was the leading scorer for the Hornets with 18 points. He was joined in double figures by Bunch with 12 points and Chris Sights with 11 points. Bunch had ten rebounds and three blocks for his fourth double-double of the year. Brown led Emporia State with five assists and added seven rebounds and seven points.
The Hornets are back in action on Feb. 13 when they travel to Central Oklahoma. Tip-off on Wednesday from Hamilton Field House in Edmond, Okla. is set for 7:30 p.m.

The CWC Bulldogs came into game two of the Harrisburg Tournament looking to bounce back after their opener loss, but fell short of climbing the mountain.
Gallatin Co. knocked the Bulldogs around en route to a 72-39 win.
The Hawks used turnovers, fast break off the turnovers, and their "mountain" senior center Andrew Drone, to put the Bulldogs in the loss column for the second straight game.
Drone delivered multiple dunks on the Bulldog defense and scored over half the Gallatin Co. points, putting up 41 in the win.
For CWC, junior guard Brodie Brown scored 15 points in the loss, with nine of those coming on three pointers.
Jamey Steed added seven to the Bulldogs tally, and Andy Vaughan scored six.
Other scorers for CWC were Jordan Large, Joe Matz and Alan Murphy all scoring two point each.
The Bulldogs wrap up the Harrisburg Tourney on Saturday night with a meeting with host Harrisburg. The game starts at 8 p.m.

WEIRTON - The first phase of a multi-million-dollar sewage system upgrade in the north end is well under way, Utilities Director A.D. "Butch" Mastrantoni said Thursday.
That work, being done by James White Construction inside ArcelorMittal facilities along County Road, involves laying about 4,700 lineal feet of gravity sewer line to route sanitary flow from roughly 1,000 structures along Pennsylvania Avenue and nearby neighborhoods up old Main Street to the 5th Street Lift Station.
The lift station is on mill property.
Phase II will take the sanitary flow from the lift station through a new 16-inch main all the way to the Freedom Way treatment plant 26,000 lineal feet away a little under six miles where it will be properly treated and then released into the Ohio River.
The work was necessitated by the discovery two years ago of abnormally high levels of fecal coliforms in what was supposed to be industrial process water. Fecal levels had always been monitored by millworkers, but it wasn't until the steelmaker began removing unneeded structures in the north end and their industrial runoff volumes diminished that they realized the numbers were out of the norm.
Notified of the problem, city officials immediately contacted environmental officials to report the problems. Because of that the city was not fined, though it is under a consent decree to get the repairs done. Phase I must be done by Dec. 13.
To pay for the upgrades, rates will go up. To finance Phase I, rates jumped 66-cents to $3.61 per thousand gallons. For Phase II, the rates will go to $4.19 per thousand gallons.
Mastrantoni previously said they'd spent nearly $200,000 over the past three years to treat the discharges off-site. That expense will be eliminated once the project is in place.
Board member Tom Smarrella, meanwhile, told Mastrantoni he's been asked several times why city residents, not the steelmaker, have to pick up the tab for Phase I since the problem is on mill property.
"When we found it there was no longer any Weirton Steel," Mastrantoni replied. "So who do you go after?"
He said, too, that it's unclear when the changes were made that caused the problem, or even who did it.
"In years past, the only thing that was important was Weirton Steel and the town made the decision that there'd be no building permits, no going behind the gates," he said, adding that was part of the rationale for the "in lieu of" tax agreement they used to have with Weirton Steel.
He said it's likely that someone at some point "tried to make a more usable system" by taking existing lines and merging them with new lines.
"When we had 100 million gallons going through (the system) nothing showed up," he added. "As (industrial) activity slowed, now you can see the bacteria."

Rodriguez's lawyer, David Cornwell, criticized the league.
"Major League Baseball has gone well beyond the authority granted it in its Joint Drug Agreement and the Basic Agreement," he said. "Consequently, we will appeal the discipline and pursue all legal remedies available to Alex."
Before Monday's announcement, the Biogenesis scandal had already ensnared one star: 2011 National League MVP and Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun.
Last month, Braun was suspended without pay for the rest of this season for violating the league's drug policy.
Yankees: We're "focused on playing baseball"
The New York Yankees declined to comment on Rodriguez's suspension until the completion of the appeal process.
"In the meantime," the team said in a written statement, "the Yankees remain focused on playing baseball."
The team did say it was disappointed by the suspension of Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli, who was one of the 12 players who agreed to the 50-game suspension.
"It's clear that he used bad judgment," the Yankees said.
Major League Baseball issued a statement saying that Rodriguez was being disciplined under both baseball's Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program and the players' collective bargaining agreement.
Under the drug program, "Rodriguez's suspension will be stayed until the completion of his appeal if Rodriguez files a grievance challenging his discipline," the MLB statement said.
That is also the usual case for suspensions related to drug offenses under the collective bargaining agreement, but the statement did not specifically address that aspect.
Impressive record
Rodriguez is considered one of the game's greatest sluggers. He has 647 home runs -- the fifth most ever -- in 19 seasons.
In 2009, he had an outstanding postseason as he helped the Yankees win their most recent World Series title.
He holds the largest contract ever in American sports, signing with the Yankees in 2007 for $275 million over 10 years.
Rodriguez said Friday he believes his contract makes him an attractive target for a baseball ban or suspension.
"There's more than one party that benefits from me not ever stepping back on the field -- and that's not my teammates and it's not the Yankees fans," he said.
Rodriguez has missed the entire 2013 season so far after undergoing hip surgery.
Other players suspended
The other players suspended by Major League Baseball Monday are:
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Antonio Bastardo
San Diego Padres shortstop Everth Cabrera
New York Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli
Texas Rangers outfielder Nelson Cruz

The shores of Orange County sparkled more than usual when Marco Bicego jetted in to Traditional Jewelers' elegant Fashion Island boutique to show off his latest selection of stunners. And oh, the eye candy—there were necklaces, bracelets, earrings and rings bedecked in yellow gold and boasting gemstones like tourmaline, amethyst, quartz and topaz, and the glammed-up crowd delighted over every last one before purchasing the pieces they prized the most. They also nibbled light bites and sipped Champagne while chatting with Bicego, who delivered an extra dose of dazzle by signing his creations with a hand engraver. Indeed, that's a gift to remember.

Graduate School - Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing
Contact Information
Offices located at:
Phone: 325-671-2367
The mission of the School of Nursing graduate program is based on the underlying philosophy and objectives of the consortium universities. The school exists for the purpose of preparing advanced practice nurses equipped with an understanding and conceptual integration of nursing's role in today's complex health care environments worldwide.
The purpose of the Master of Science in Nursing program is to prepare nurses to assume leadership roles in advanced family nurse practitioner positions, educators, or managers of patient care services within a variety of institutions or health care agencies. In addition, students are guided to incorporate theory and the research process in a variety of roles and practical settings.
The graduate program of the Patty Hanks Shelton School of Nursing (PHSSN) functions within the structure of an educational consortium consisting of Abilene Christian University and Hardin-Simmons University. It offers a Master of Science in Nursing degree (MSN) with a focus on education and administration or family nurse practitioner. The program faculty
accepts the underlying philosophy and objectives of the consortium universities that individuals be educationally prepared in a manner that promotes the development of intellectual, cultural, moral and religious values.
Faculty believe that nursing is a profession that is responsive to the changing health care needs of individuals and is supported by an expanding body of knowledge. Graduate students, through study and interdisciplinary collaboration, expand their understanding of health, environment, person and nursing roles.
Building upon a baccalaureate nursing education, the faculty believes that development of critical thinking, communication, clinical skills, creativity and self-direction are essential elements in graduate nursing education. Through the educational process faculty seek to promote awareness of social, cultural and ethnic diversity, believing it enriches professional growth and development. The collaborative educational process between the faculty and students promotes progressive mastery and increased learner maturity. Implicit in advanced practice nursing is the acceptance of accountability for lifelong learning, professional growth, competent practice and effective leadership.
1. Demonstrate proficiency in a specific practice area;
2. Develop strategies that incorporate theories and models from nursing and related
disciplines for advanced practice;
3. Implement scientific inquiry to replicate, validate and test theories relevant to
4. Analyze cultural, social, ethical, economic and political perspectives that influence
the health care delivery system;
5. Integrate the multi-roles of the nurse for interdisciplinary practice and
advancement of optimum health care delivery;
6. Integrate critical thinking skills into oral and written communications.
Additional Outcomes for the Family Nurse Practitioner
The program outcomes of the nurse practitioner clinical concentration are to prepare nurses to provide primary care to clients of all ages in a variety of settings. The nurse practitioner has advanced expertise in the promotion and maintenance of optimal wellness and in the management of acute and chronic common health problems and chronic illnesses. Graduates of the MSN program who complete the nurse practitioner clinical concentration should be able to:
1. Use the nursing process to deliver advanced, comprehensive primary care to
individuals and families throughout the life cycle in a variety of settings.
2. Assess community health education and service needs and resources and
implement appropriate interventions and programs.
3. Collaborate with other health care providers to develop and implement
appropriate treatment plans for individuals and families in primary settings.
4. Establish and implement protocols for consultation with and referral to physicians.
5. Prepare to take a national certification exam and petition the Board of Nurse
Examiners for recognition as an Advanced Practice Nurse.
Applicants for the Master of Science in Nursing degree must hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree from a regionally accredited school or university whose nursing program is NLN or CCNE accredited.

I am not sure how $QP-PQ =i\hbar$ where $P$ represent momentum and $Q$ represent position. $Q$ and $P$ are matrices. The question would be, how can $Q$ and $P$ be formulated as a matrix? Also, what is the proof of this canonical commutation relation?
As Lubos has mentioned
is one of the basic requirements of quantum mechanics. Classically observables are functions of variables $q$, and $p$ and Poisson bracket relation read
$\{q,p\}=1$ (note that $\{q,p\}$ is unitless quantity )
In QM observables are required to be hermitian operators (so that they can have real eigenvalues). In particular for position we have an operator $Q$, and for momentum we have an operator $P$. Poisson bracket is replaced by commutator and we require
In analogy with classical Poisson brackets we would have required
But this is not possible since
i) We have already required that $Q,P$ be hermitian. So $[Q,P]^\dagger=(QP-PQ)^\dagger=(QP)^\dagger-(PQ)^\dagger=PQ-QP=-[Q,P]$. So if we require $[Q,P]$ to be a constant (i.e. constant multiple of Identity matrix) it should be purely imaginary.
ii) $[Q,P]$ has units of $ML^2T^{-1}$. You can see this by noting that $Q$ is a position operator, so it has units of $L$, and that $P$ is a momentum operator, so it has units of $MLT^{-1}$.
Two natural choices are $[Q,P]=i\hbar$ and $[Q,P]=-i\hbar$. They are both equivalent and choice of $[Q,P]=i\hbar$ is just a convention.
No two finite dimensional matrices can satisfy $[Q,P]=i\hbar$. This can be seen by taking trace on both sides. However this relation can be satisfied by infinite dimensional matrices. More explicitly take vector space to be space of functions of $q$. Define $Q$ as $Qf=qf$, and $P$ as $Pf=-i\hbar\partial f/\partial q$. Then it can be seen that these operators satisfy required commutation relation. Moreover if we define our inner product as
$(f,g)=\int f^* g\: dq$
then $Q$ and $P$ defined as above will also be hermitian.
In a matrix representation, $Q$ and $P$ are infinite-dimensional matrices. (Finite-dimensional matrices wouldn't do; the trace of the two sides of the commutation relation gives a contradition.)
Many possible pairs of matrices qualify; the nicest ones are obtained when expressing position and momentum in a basis of eigenstates of the harmonic oscillator. See
The more frequently used position representation (or momentum representation) takes $Q$ (resp. $P$) as a multiplication operator on wave functions depending on position (or momentum), and $P$ (resp. $Q$) as a first order differential operator chosen to match the commutation relation.
To prove the relation when $Q$ and $P$ are given, simply apply both sides to an arbitrary state vector and check that one gets the same result.
One may formulate more general rules that determine the commutators of operators in a quantum theory obtained from a Lagrangian or a Hamiltonian. However, there always have to be some axioms. In the simplest models of quantum mechanics, it's most legitimate to say that $xp-px=i\hbar$ is simply a key axiom of quantum mechanics, so it can't be derived from anything "deeper".
The fact that they don't commute – that their product depends on the order – implies that $x,p$ cannot be ordinary numbers. Instead, they are operators: operators don't have to commute. An $\hat L$ operator is something that assigns to each vector $|\psi\rangle$ of a space – in the case of quantum mechanics, Hilbert space – the result $\hat L |\psi \rangle$.
If one chooses a basis of the space with finitely or countably many elements, all the information about a linear operator may be expressed in terms of matrix elements $\langle i|\hat L |j\rangle = b(j,L(i))$ and the set of these inner products i.e. matrix elements is a matrix.
This picture of physics is consistent but the consistency has many aspects so it's a broad question. In essence, you want to explain why everything in quantum mechanics works. Well, it does but it isn't quite a 1-line proof. Quantum mechanics is the right theory of everything so it would be unwise to expect 1-line proofs of its consistency or validity. If you have some more particular concern or hypothetical consistency, please feel to update your question.

text: Hey everyone, here's another World of Warcraft tutorial following the pandaren tutorial. This time I'll be showing you how to draw a male draenei. This tutorial is very special to me since it happens to be my 100th one. So here's to a hundred tutorials down and hundreds more to come! I hope you have as much fun with this drawing as I did.

Barack Obama is a BIG FAN of the blogs! "Offbeat" blogs, even! OMG. So exciting. Shadowy White House spinmasters have finally leaked to the Washington Post the big Obama Fave Offbeat Blog List!
- "Obama was particularly interested in Atlantic Online's Andrew Sullivan's tweeting of the Iranian elections last year"
- "I don't think time permits him to be surfing all the time," Axelrod said, adding that the president reads "magazines like crazy," including the New Yorker, the Economist, Sports Illustrated and Rolling Stone. "There are some commentators whose views he's interested in, and he'll read blog items."
- Also cable news and ESPN.
In any case, the fact that Obama reads Andrew Sullivan means that he also reads Alex Pareene. Alex Pareene: Basically a presidential adviser.

This question got migrated to Server Fault.
In my arrogant opinion, only people with programming ability can find and patch vulnerabilities.
These types of questions: "Please help me my site was hacked!" are not suitable for Server Fault.
Here is a complete and total failure of a thread on serverfault, The only reseblance of a solution is mine. One person who is trying to be helpful has +13, and its not even close to a solution, it's just an explanation.
Here is another post with 13 answers, and not single solution.
This is evidence that the moving posts is only hurting people.
