NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms NFL unveils new Pro Bowl uniforms Close Tweet0 Share0 Comment0 Share0 Share0 Stumble It0 Print0 More Audibles Grading the NFL head coach hires by Chris Burke Add Favorite Favorite Added Twitter Email Posted: Mon Jan. 21, 2013 Chip Kelly was the flashiest hire of the offseason, but was he the smartest? (AP)We can say this about the recent NFL coaching cycle, which concluded with eight teams finding new leaders: It was not boring.Chip Kelly's flirtation with Oregon and the NFL captivated most people's attention, but there also was a CFL-to-NFL jump (Marc Trestman), a surprise hire from the college ranks (Doug Marrone) and the move of a recently-fired coach to a new franchise (Andy Reid).All that on top of several intriguing hires from the league's coordinator pool (Mike McCoy, Bruce Arians, Gus Bradley and Rob Chudzinski).Unlike in past seasons, none of the hires feel like disasters waiting to happen, either, even if some come with more question marks than others. Each new head coach has a very clear selling point -- most relating to the offensive side of the football.So, which teams made the best decisions? With the admission that it's way too early to issue any definitive verdicts, we hand out some early grades:Chip Kelly, Philadelphia EaglesWhether you like or dislike Kelly, you're kidding yourself if you do not see the potential of his offense stockpiled with the likes of LeSean McCoy, DeSean Jackson and Jeremy Maclin.This was a move made more for Kelly's proven program-building abilities and his football smarts than his use of an up-tempo attack. Kelly was noncommittal on Michael Vick's future -- a nod to the everything-on-the-table approach Kelly will take at QB. He's said that he does not necessarily need a running quarterback to control his offense, so it will be intriguing to see where the Eagles go from here.The Eagles' full starting lineup, save for pending free agents Vick and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, could be back. That is a plus when you think of the team's potential, but a bit scary given its consistent underachieving in the past couple seasons.Could this backfire? Sure. Kelly could flop and greatly set back the NFL's interest in college coaches. But this is a swing-for-the-fences hire … and Kelly is a smart enough coach to make it work.Grade: A-minusMike McCoy, San Diego ChargersThis hire strikes a lot of the same chords as Chicago's addition of Marc Trestman (see below).McCoy has a strong offensive pedigree, buoyed by success calling plays for both Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning in Denver, but it is fair to wonder if he will be able to push San Diego forward on both sides of the ball. Retaining defensive coordinator John Pagano ought to help -- the Chargers' D showed improvement under Pagano in 2012. That defensive unit could lose a host of players in free agency, though, most notably Quentin Jammer and Shaun Phillips.McCoy and new GM Tom Telesco must find Philip Rivers some more reliable weapons and upgrade the Chargers' offensive line. Assuming Rivers still has a few good years left in him, McCoy could spark big bounce-back year for the veteran QB.Grade: B-plusAndy Reid, Kansas City ChiefsReid traded in one team with headaches at quarterback for another. Unfortunately for him, there is no candidate here with the upside of Michael Vick ... or even of Nick Foles. The overly-pricy Matt Cassel appears headed out the door, so who will run the show in 2013?Reid will call the Chiefs' plays -- which is both good and bad news, as frustrated Philadelphia fans (and LeSean McCoy fantasy owners) can attest -- and he will have running back Jamaal Charles to lean on early. But wide receiver Dwayne Bowe could leave in free agency, as could starting left tackle Branden Albert.Kansas City will stick with the 3-4 defense, which makes sense since OLBs Justin Houston and Tamba Hali thrived in that scheme and the team spent a 2012 first-round pick on NT Dontari Poe.The No. 1 pick will give us some idea where Reid feels this team needs the most help. Is he the right guy for the rebuilding project, though?Grade: BGus Bradley, Jacksonville JaguarsKudos to Bradley on landing a hard-earned head coaching job. This, however, is a dire situation. Bradley has inherited arguably the least-talented roster in the league, starting with QB Blaine Gabbert and trickling down to just about every position. Based on his work in Seattle, Bradley should give the Jaguars' defense a fighting chance, even with cornerbacks Derek Cox and Rashean Mathis potentially headed out via free agency.He will need help to kick-start the offense, however, whether Gabbert sticks as QB or not -- Jedd Fisch, as the new offensive coordinator, has been tasked with turning around that unit. The saving grace may be RB Maurice Jones-Drew, if he can stay healthy.This will take some time.Grade: BBruce Arians, Arizona CardinalsThe entire NFL has to respect the masterful job Arians did with the Colts in 2012, after stepping in as the interim coach while Chuck Pagano underwent leukemia treatment. The situation could have unraveled the young Indianapolis team; instead, Arians helped guide the franchise back to the playoffs.The foundation is not nearly as stable in Arizona.One thing is for sure: Andrew Luck won't be walking through the desert door to save a team that started four different (and equally disappointing) quarterbacks throughout the season. The Cardinals' offensive line was the worst in the NFL in 2012, and aside from Larry Fitzgerald, the talent level is mediocre. Arians brought Colts O-line coach Harold Goodwin along with him to be the Cardinals' offensive coordinator, and somehow that duo must put this unit back together.Despite their 11-5 mark, too, the Colts struggled defensively under Arians' watch -- he has no other NFL experience directing that side of the ball. With Ray Horton bouncing for Cleveland, the Cardinals will be starting over, to some extent, on that side of the ball as well.Arians' only previous head coaching experience came during a 21-45 stretch at Temple from 1983-88. This will be, at age 60, his first NFL head coaching job. Is he ready for it?Grade: BMarc Trestman, Chicago BearsThe shift from Lovie Smith's defense-first approach to the offense-centric stylings of Trestman could pay big dividends for Jay Cutler. Trestman worked wonders as an NFL assistant on QBs less talented than Cutler (see: Mitchell, Scott), and his Montreal Alouettes lit up CFL scoreboards, too. Already, Trestman has said he'd like to take advantage of Cutler's athleticism.But will the defense suffer under Trestman's watch? On top of Smith's departure, the Bears also have 18 potential unrestricted free agents, including key defensive names like Brian Urlacher, Henry Melton and Israel Idonije. The Alouettes were up and down, defensively, with Trestman at the helm.The hire of ex-Jacksonville defensive coordinator Mel Tucker might help, if only because Tucker favors a 4-3, Cover-2 look that will be similar to what Smith employed. Still, the Bears' identity may be totally different going forward.Grade: B-minusRob Chudzinski, Cleveland BrownsPerhaps Chudzinski's greatest advantage, as he embarks on his debut season as a head coach: the presences of new offensive coordinator Norv Turner and defensive coordinator Horton.The book will be out on Chudzinski's head-coaching abilities for some time -- and possibly even longer on Michael Lombardi's tenure as the new GM -- but the NFL world knows that Turner and Horton can call plays on offense and defense, respectively.As for Chudzinski himself, this was another hire made with offense in mind. Brandon Weeden, Trent Richardson and the Browns' young weapons could get a boost from Chudzinski, who did yeoman's work during his time as Cleveland's offensive coordinator in 2007-08. Of course, the Panthers' offense never quite hit its ceiling under Chudzinski, despite Cam Newton's presence.The Browns' comfort level with Chudzinski pushed this move, even if there were flashier names out there.Grade: B-minusDoug Marrone, Buffalo BillsBuffalo's best hire this offseason may not have been Marrone, but rather new defensive coordinator Mike Pettine, whom the Bills swiped from the Jets. The Bills have enough talent on that side of the ball to greatly improve the league's 22nd-best defense, so that's a nice starting point for Marrone.Marrone did a fine job at Syracuse, and he comes back to the NFL, reportedly with Bill Parcells' blessing. Still, there is reason to wonder if Marrone can hit the ground running, especially since the Bills are built to win now. This team could return close to 20 of its starters in 2013, assuming safety Jairus Byrd re-signs or gets the franchise tag.To compete, though, Buffalo needs Marrone and new offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett (also Marrone's O.C. at Syracuse) to fix Ryan Fitzpatrick. Grade: C More Audibles

Health & Pregnancy
Eating, Drinking May Be OK During Labor
Jan. 20, 2010 -- There is little medical justification for telling women in labor not to eat or drink, a review of the research finds.
For many decades, the prevailing practice in childbirth has been to restrict food and fluids during labor to little more than ice chips. This was largely due to concerns about aspiration of stomach contents into the lungs of women given general anesthesia during delivery.
But very few women receive general anesthesia during childbirth these days, even when they deliver by cesarean section. And changes in anesthesia practices over the years have reduced the vomiting risk.
As a result, doctors have begun to relax once-strict policies about eating and drinking during labor.
"We are, as we speak, in the process of re-evaluating our practice, as I believe other hospitals are," high-risk obstetrician Jeffrey Ecker, MD, of Massachusetts General Hospital tells WebMD. "We are trying to find a balance between what makes patients happy and comfortable and what makes the anesthesiologist comfortable."
Eating and Drinking: 'Let Women Decide'
In the newly published review, conducted for the nonprofit Cochrane Collaboration, researchers examined five studies in which a total of 3,130 women were followed through childbirth.
All of the women were considered to have a low risk for needing general anesthesia when they entered labor.
Taken as a whole, the studies showed no evidence of any risk or benefit associated with eating or drinking during labor.
One of the largest studies included in the analysis was published just last March.
Researchers followed 2,426 women with a low risk of obstetric complications through delivery and found that those who ate lightly during labor and those who only had water had similar lengths of labor and rate of C-section deliveries.
The women who ate were no more likely to vomit than women who did not.
"Since the evidence shows no benefit or harms, there is no justification for [prohibiting eating and drinking] during labor, provided women have a low risk for complications," study researcher Mandisa Singata, MD, of South Africa's East London Hospital Complex, says in a news release. "Women should be able to make their own decisions about whether they want to eat or drink during labor or not."

I need to do two things:
- Add a CGI variable (say filter=21) to the current query and make a link to this modified URL.
- Fetch the value of CGI variable "filter".
How to do that in WordPress?
First off, these aren't CGI variables, they're query string arguments.
WordPress, by default, will remove any query arguments that it doesn't recognize. So you need to register them with WordPress and then pull them back out of the query.
First, add your new query variable:

I was looking to buy a Pentax K-5 in the next couple of months. But with the announcement of the new K-30 im now currently questioning that decision. Is there any reason to go for the more expensive K-5 apart from an extra 1 fps over the new K-30?
As you can see from a side-by-side feature comparison, the K-5 has a few advantages — 14-bit processing, somewhat faster shutter, a few more modes on the dial. It has a top LCD screen, and it has a magnesium-alloy body. On the other hand, the K-30 has some improvements of its own. Whether these things are compelling to you is a personal decision, but as Digital Photography Review says in their hands-on-preview:
The K-5 is basically over as a new model, and of course the speculation is rampant on what will replace it. Pentax will surely release something at the K-5's former over-$1000 price point *, and given how exciting the K-30 looks, that will be another hard decision all over again if you wait another few months. (Waiting for that is not my recommendation — my suggestion is to buy a camera and start using it, as the advantages of a real camera in the hand beat two fantasy cameras in the bush every time.)
You may want to consider a used K-5 — it's likely a lot of those will be coming on the market as the technology-generations dance plays out, and the close comparison with the low-priced K-30 will probably mean those are quite affordable. You might even go for a used K-7, which has most of the same features but an older (capable but more noisy) sensor, and spend your budget on lenses.
* I'm leaving this as-is because it's inherently a point-in-time question, but for what it's worth, the K-3 replaces the K-5, and now the rumor mills are on to speculating about what might replace that. It's a never-ending game.

By SOPHIE HOTTINGER
Staff Writer
The Voice-Tribune
The hunt to find the perfect new home can be a daunting task for a person in any stage of life. Budget, family, lifestyle, proximity to the desired amenities and architectural preference must all be considered – and oftentimes it's difficult, even with the help of a professional, to identify a house currently on the market that meets all of one's expectations.
As a solution to the question of finding their next home, more and more Louisvillians are turning in another direction, essentially taking matters into their own hands with the realization: If you can't buy it, why not build it?
Dana Anderson, director of the New Homes Division at Semonin Realtors, asserted that now is an ideal time to consider the benefits of building new, at least in part due to opportunities afforded by the burgeoning housing market.
"We have seen a major increase in sales and movement in the Louisville metro marketplace in 2012 verses 2011. For example, in our company we've had an over 20 percent increase this year over last year, in terms of sales. And that's wonderful for the Louisville market," she noted, continuing, "The number one competitor for new construction product is the home a person lives in. Unless they can sell the home where they are now, it's very difficult for them to buy their next home, whether it's new construction or any other resale."
While current homeowners will likely have an easier time selling than they may have in years past, they'll also benefit from a greater selection of available new home plots if they act sooner, rather than later, Anderson pointed out. "In 2012 versus 2011, we had a wonderful surge in building permits, which is the indicator of new construction sales in the future." She also noted that interest rates are low and plot availability is high – but won't remain so for long. "For those people that are considering buying a new construction home, now would be the time to go, because there are beautiful home sites available, but they are limited in number. …We expect a 20 percent increase for each of the next four to five years to catch up to a 'normal' market with respect to new households and pent up demand."
In addition to the marketplace advantages, new homes offer a level of personalization that simply isn't available with those already built, Anderson contended.
"In terms of functionality, new design is better equipped to handle what I'll refer to as the modern family. We incorporate flex space in the majority of new construction projects now, because family dynamics are ever-changing. You will find offices/bedrooms incorporated into homes," she commented. "You'll find that many people are what we refer to as 'right-sizing' – they may be changing to a larger home to incorporate family members that have returned, or to incorporate an extended family scenario, or they may be changing the style of the home from one that has stairs to one of the more universal designs where they can age in place."
Furthermore, Anderson added, architectural innovation in recent years means that a newly-built house can be designed to maximize both living space and energy efficiency, benefits that can't be duplicated in older buildings. And, of course, the power to customize every aspect of one's home – from window light requirements to traffic patterns, to the kitchen layout – is grounded in functionality but also carries with it an emotional appeal that would be difficult to resist.
If a newly-built home is a part of your family's plans for the future, the most important step, Anderson emphasized, is to identify and partner with an experienced realtor of your choice. "The real estate industry is best supported and properly navigated from within," she explained. "A realtor can guide you in terms of your financial opportunities … and then selection in terms of the given buyer's requirements and needs."
And while different areas of town may hold a certain appeal for new home hopefuls, there is no "right" place to look, the realtor advised. "You can't really say, 'you should go here' or 'you should go there.' New construction lends itself to many locations, instead of certain locations, for both condominiums and single homes." True personalization of the home is best achieved when you explore all the possibilities.

I'm interested in history and I want to visit some Napoléon historic places. The most known are the Arc de Triomphe and The battlefield of Waterloo, where he was defeated. But are there some other places like these in Europe?
You could start your tour in Paris, visiting the grave of Napoleon in Dôme des Invalides. Napoleon is buried there since December 1840.
After that you could visit Longwood House on the island Saint Helena. Napoleon has spent his last days there.
Also worth a visit is Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. Not only because Napoleon has spent the time there during the occupation of Vienna, but also because it is a nice palace with a lot of sights. There is a reason why this is a world heritage site ;)
All images are from Wikipedia.
The Château de Fontainebleau near Paris is where Napoleon made his palace in favour of Versailles. The palace was extensively modified by Napoleon and is open to visitors.
In Poland there is a small museum in Witaszyce. You can see there exhibition of items, documents and other things connected with Napoleonic Wars (e.g. they have original Napoleon's hair). They are also organizing excursions to the places in region which are connected with this time.
Here you can see some pictures and here is main site of museum (no english version).
Think also about the birthplace - Ajaccio, the capital of Corsica island. You can see the house and the museum.
The city is easily served by car/passenger ferries and regular flights from mainland France. Flights are operated by Air France; sea crossings by SNCM and Corsica Ferries.
The island itself is also worth a few days' visit with its beaches, its mostly mountaineous terrain, winding roads. It is a trekker's paradise with the famous GR 20 trail, the natural reserve and outdoor adventure spots.

But I didn't realize she was nominated for an oscar as Best Actress in "Winter's Bone." What I'm thrilled about is the new movie, "The Hunger Games." She plays Katniss Everdeen in this movie which is based on the first book in The Hunger Games trilogy by Suzanne Collins. Please fav, vote, and comment. Thank you all. Peace and love to you.

I have a new Sandy Bridge i5-2500 and Intel H67 motherboard. As the onboard video didn't work, I put in an older 8600 gts graphics card. However, the S3 suspend won't work (and I can't test without the dedicated card). I've had this experience with all other desktops (all of which have nvidia cards).
Any help diagnosing what might be the problem would be appreciated. I've been trying a few s2ram parameters at en.opensuse.org/SDB:Suspend_to_RAM, but this is very time consuming and so far fruitless. Namely,
- Of course, if you have experience with a H67 or P67 motherboard, that would be most useful.
- If you have owned Intel desktop motherboards, how often does S3 work?
- same with nVidia graphics cards
- Does the power supply ever make a difference?

Breakfast bubbly at the Neighbourgoods Market
There is something absolutely decadent when it comes to oysters and sparkling wine, and it is the perfect way to start a weekend.
The indoor market has become a must-do when visiting Cape Town. There are about 100 stalls offering a range of delicious artisanal foods and drink, and I am on a mission to eventually have bought something from each and every stall.
It is one of my favourite Saturday morning hang-out spots. I amble around, sampling freshly-baked bread, cheese, olives and pickles, while deciding which goodies to buy to take home.
Turkish bread is always high on my list, as is gourmet sausage and anything with chillis in it. Wedges of locally-made cheeses go into my shopping bag, along with deliciously salty olives.
Because it's Saturday and I am at the market, I rationalise that I am entitled to have a proper meal, even after all the nibbles I had. I normally have to walk around the large room a couple of times, though, deciding what I'm going to have.
Extra-large pancakes with hazelnut chocolate spread? Authentic Italian pizza? Beautifully grilled and sliced rump steak with caramelised onions? Maybe some sushi? And it's never too early for curry …
At this point I am in foodie heaven: the smell of garlic and spices hang invitingly in the air, but I've still not decided.
A craft beer is obligatory; it could help me make up my mind about what I am eventually going to eat.
Fellow shoppers are already happily sitting around long trestle tables, having made up their minds and are munching away. A final whirl around all the stalls and … I settle on the done-to-perfection steak.
And another successful Saturday morning is done and dusted. As I waltz out with my goodie-filled bags, I stop one last time – to buy a bunch of fresh flowers.

I am looking for software (open-source or otherwise) or an implementable algorithm for solving a continuous transportation problem. The input consists of a pointset in a planar rectangle, and we need to relocate these points within the rectangle to decrease the peak density below a given threshold (feasibility can be assumed), while minimizing total displacement.
The distances inside the rectangle are Manhattan/taxicab, although efficient solutions for the Euclidean distance can also be helpful. Total displacement is interpreted in the $L_1$ sense, but efficient solutions for the $L_2$ case can also be helpful. The peak density can be evaluated with respect to a uniform grid (is there another practical way ?)
My students implemented a geometric algorithm (without having any background in transportation) that works great in our application, but we don't know how far the results are from optimal. Just in case, our application also imposes rectangular "exclusion zones", where no points can be placed (more generally, we can assume a "bounding probability distribution").

I am importing a Oracle dump fill created on a AIX Oracle 9.2 installation with a Full Export option to a Windows Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Windows 2008 R2 x64.
I want to import the file to a clean database. However if I don't create a database first, there's nothing to create. If I create the database, it throws a lot of errors complaining of missing users and tablespaces, even with FULL=Y.
How can I import this dump into a clean Oracle Install?

Title says all; Is it safe to hold key file's hash (MD5 or SHA1) in application (hard-coded)?
The only danger is that the application now holds a fingerprint of your key. Thus enables the possibility to do some attacks, like bruteforce, and something to check against. And so it really comes down to the "same old question" as of how to keep your password-storage safe. If the key-file is a large one and somewhat random, then bruteforce is most certainly out of the feasible picture, however if it's not or the key-file is a common file or just a text-file containing a common word, the attack methods doesn't differ that much from what every webapp developer is trying to secure.

The middle line is the equator, the second and fourth line are the tropics, the first and fifth are the polar circles.
What is the relevance of these bands on Earth? Do these exist on other planets? What purpose do they serve?
The Tropics (Capricorn in the South and Cancer in the North) are the furthest point from the equator where the sun reaches a point directly overhead at any time during the year. The Arctic and Antarctic circles are the points at which the sun remains above the horizon for a full rotation of the Earth (i.e. 24 hours), commonly called "Midnight Sun". Any planet that has axial tilt while have similar lines.

Is there a way to block certain programs from being able to connect to the internet in Debian (a firewall blocking outgoing connections), so for example, to block a windows program running in wine from being able to call home?
You could use Linux containers to create an environment with no network interfaces. For example, if I create a configuration file like this:

I will find that within this shell there are no network devices available other than

window size shrinking
when you click buttons on window.when it hides and again shows it size shrinking.you can observe this on snecha showcase 3.0 also.
try to click 10 to 15 times you observe it clearly
18 Jun 2012 1:32 PM #2
This is a know bug.
To avoid this behavior just set window.setMinHeight(height);. This workaround works well and can be used until Sencha has fixed this problem.

Fifteen students became the first graduates of the nursing program July 29 at Columbia College-Lake of the Ozarks.
The associate in science in nursing degree program began at the Lake of the Ozarks campus in June 2005. Designed as a dual-track program, the degree caters both to students without prior nursing education (generic track) and licensed practical nurses who wish to become registered nurses (bridge track). Carol Walter, nursing coordinator at the Lake campus, said in the first graduating class from the program there are 14 generic students and one bridge student.
Walter said the program has increased enrollments in the two nursing classes that have followed, with 19 students enrolled in October 2005 and 27 students enrolled in March 2006. She hopes the campus will increase that number to 32, maintaining a similar enrollment level in future classes.
Eleven of the students who graduated in July already have accepted positions in Lake Regional Health System, Walter said, and others will work in the Jefferson City and Moberly areas.
An externship program at Lake Regional Hospital has offered students special training in critical care areas such as intensive care, step-down and emergency room, Walter said. The hospital also provides the nursing program with medical equipment for training and offers each class eight $10,000 scholarships for students who commit to work three years at Lake Regional Hospital. "They are very excited to have the majority of our graduates come to work for them," Walter said.

In this episode Nick Harris and Nathan Totten are joined by Kent Brown, Senior Product Marketing Manager, and Guru Venkataraman, Senior Program Manager, who introduce us to Windows Azure BizTalk Services. Kent and Guru discuss how BizTalk Services brings the power of BizTalk to the cloud and makes enterprise integration scenarios even easier. Guru also demonstrates how BizTalk can be used to connect SAP systems to both on-premise and cloud SQL databases.
For more details on BizTalk Services see WindowsAzure.com and Scott Guthrie's blog post.

Oops, something didn't work.
This is an extremely powerful solution...SAP would love to charge you a lot of money in order to connect a mobile app to its systems using their platform.
For anyone waiting to follow Windows Azure BizTalk Services on Twitter: look for #biztalkservices, or #wabs.
What's going on? I was hoping to see a new episode by now to keep up with the latest Azure developments.
I am migrating my first app to Azure. It uses a pair of databases and there are 30 instances (29 stored procedures and one view) which use cross database queries.
When I tried to publish my databases to an Azure counterpart the process always failed and the following error was shown:
Reference to database and/or server name in '...' is not supported in this version of SQL Server.
Is there any workaround besides combining both databases or rewrite the application code?
Will Azure support cross database queries any time soon?
Thanks in advance,
Eduardo Quintana
Can the audio get fixed? Sounds like it's recorded in a cave.

Russians build a snow plow out of a crappy car—and it works pretty well
Winter came and overstayed its welcome. At what point do we make like the Russians and turn our tiny crappy cars into snow plow sleds? I say the next snow. Just hop on the hood of your car and make a friend drive you through and pummel it. Winter is stupid, this type of stupid fun makes it a little less so.

GOP Rebels as Cuomo Shifts Left
For two years, a fragile alliance has held between New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo and state Republicans, yielding liberal laws such as the legalization of gay marriage and GOP triumphs such as a property-tax cap.
But on Tuesday, cracks began appearing in that coalition.
In a rare display of open dissent, Senate Republicans grilled Mr. Cuomo's nominee for the state's highest court and nearly prevented her from getting a confirmation vote. They attacked the Democratic governor's budget, saying it contained a hidden $236 million tax. And a GOP assemblyman invoked Hitler as he criticized Mr. Cuomo's tactics in passing a package of gun-control laws last month.
Republicans often loudly disagree with Mr. Cuomo in the Assembly, where the GOP is a largely powerless minority. But rarely have his disputes with Republican senators spilled into public view and split so neatly on party lines since the governor took office in 2011 vowing to bring order to Albany.
"I never want to see the executive branch controlling the legislative branch or the judiciary branch," said state Sen. John Bonacic, an upstate Republican who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee.
A Cuomo administration official said it wasn't unusual for Republicans to criticize the governor, and said Senate GOP members have opposed the so-called tax—the extension of an assessment on utility bills—for several years. Cuomo officials said the GOP assemblyman, Steve McLaughlin of the Albany area, has been a frequent critic of the governor.
Scott Reif, a Senate GOP spokesman, said: "Sometimes we're going to agree with the governor, other times we will disagree, but it's in everyone's best interest, including New Yorkers, that we find common ground whenever possible."
The rare Republican rebellion Tuesday coincides with a notable shift to the left by Mr. Cuomo, who is advocating a minimum-wage increase and a package of women's rights laws this year in addition to the new firearms restrictions passed last month.
The imbroglio may not have much practical effect, as Senate Republicans share power with a more liberal group of five self-described independent Democrats who largely support the governor's agenda. But for Mr. Cuomo, who is seen as a potential 2016 presidential contender, the disputes could complicate his efforts at building a record of bipartisan achievements.
The newly partisan tone was evident in the confirmation hearings for Mr. Cuomo's first nominee for the Court of Appeals, Jenny Rivera, who was questioned for hours over two days before being approved on a party-line Judiciary Committee vote. Ms. Rivera is expected to be confirmed in a floor vote, but the intense hearing was unusual, said Albany Law School professor Vincent Bonventre.
"Senate judiciary hearings in New York state have been a waste of time in the past. Usually they're nothing more than rubber-stamping whoever the governor sends before them," Mr. Bonventre said.
Queens Sen. Malcolm Smith, one of the five independent Democrats, said he was "actually pretty surprised that we are having a debate."
Ms. Rivera, a 52-year-old professor at the City University of New York School of Law, worked for Mr. Cuomo in the attorney-general's office, but GOP senators called her "unqualified" and suggested she had been chosen because of her race and gender.
"I never look at color...but there's social engineering going on for the bench," said Mr. Bonacic.
Mr. Bonventre said Ms. Rivera's résumé was unusual for a Court of Appeals candidate but not disqualifying.
On Monday, Ms. Rivera defended her qualifications. "I have been very much engaged in the life of the law, and I don't view my academic experience as one where I have been isolated and apart or divorced from the practice," she said.
Republican officials said some senators felt renewed pressure to stand up to Mr. Cuomo after he used emergency powers to push the gun legislation through in the middle of the night with little debate. It was that tactic that led Mr. McLaughlin to hold a news conference in Albany denouncing Mr. Cuomo.
"We're told basically to shut up and vote," he said. "Just don't question it, just vote. Hitler would be proud, Mussolini would be proud of what we did here, Moscow would be proud. That's not democracy."
Republican leaders disavowed Mr. McLaughlin's comments, and he later apologized, saying, "I let my passion overcome me and made an insensitive remark that has overshadowed a serious matter regarding democracy in New York state."
By Tuesday afternoon, Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos said he would vote for Ms. Rivera. Mr. Skelos, of Long Island, has had a warm relationship with Mr. Cuomo, but he went on to question a critical piece of the governor's proposed budget, a five-year extension of an assessment on utility bills that would net the state $236 million.
Mr. Cuomo had promised the budget would include "no new taxes," but Mr. Skelos called the utility assessment a tax in disguise. "Our conference has made a decision that this is critically important to eliminate it," he said.

5 Scientific Reasons You're a Bad Employee

And depending on what time of day it is, who knows where your blood alcohol count is hovering ...
Sober people do not look that happy while working.
It's all part of life in the modern world, right? Multitasking, we all like to think, comes as naturally as Irish-ing up our coffee on casual Mondays and Tuesdays. Science says you're wrong.
Reputable neuroscientists claim that, for the most part, multitasking is physically impossible. Instead, the brain is able to switch its focus between separate processes really fast. Multitaskers are not saving time by doing multiple tasks at once. They're just segmenting the workload and making it harder to concentrate on any one task enough to actually get it done correctly.
Things get even worse once he adds "drinking" to the queue.
In fact, researchers at Stanford University have found that the more we multitask, the worse we are at it. When tested on memory, ability to switch tasks and ability to focus exclusively on one task, heavy multitaskers (that is, people who reported that they routinely used multiple media at once) scored worse across the board. While non-multitaskers were able to switch their focus completely between tasks, the experienced multitaskers were not able to stop thinking about the other activities while focusing on the job at hand.
In one test, researchers told the subjects to focus on some red rectangles on a computer screen and note changes in position. They then filled the rest of the screen with some useless shapes. A normal person had no problem with the task, but the mutlitaskers couldn't keep from getting distracted by the irrelevant noise. That's right. Multitasking happens to be the one skill that practice makes you worse at. Well, that and the people who consider themselves "heavy multitaskers" also tend to be the type who lose an entire workday every time someone brings a laser pointer into the office. Either way, our projections indicate that if work habits continue on their current path, in 30 years there won't be a single productive employee remaining on earth.

#4. We Don't Understand How We Come Across in Email
If you think you've never caused a disastrous misunderstanding via email, it's for one of two reasons:
1) You've never used email before;
2) You were simply oblivious to the misunderstanding when it occurred.
"All I did was post a comment on Jan's wall saying her thighs looked less huge. That's mostly a compliment."
The rest of us can remember vividly at least one occasion where an email was badly misinterpreted because the nod and wink we made while typing it somehow didn't come across in the text. Or, the recipient projected a tone of voice in the message that you didn't intend.
Once more, science confirms what we've seen from the cubicle. One study had participants write an email that they considered to be funny, and then estimate what readers would rate it on a one to 10 comedy scale. The writers guessed they'd be rated at an average of 7.27, while in actuality recipients gave them a measly 3.55 (by comparison, getting a nostril stapled shut is a 4.1).
"The office can't get enough of my witty shenanigans!"
But sarcasm is the real killer. Before sending your coworker your totally sarcastic quips about what you'll do if they don't return your stapler (staple their freaking nostril shut), consider this: In one study, only 56 percent of people could even figure out whether a message was phrased in a sarcastic tone. If you're the type of person who reads Cracked, that should set off some real freaking alarms right there.
No, that girl across the hall doesn't know your sexual advances are a wacky "I could NEVER think of you that way!" joke. Your boss won't get that the 47 paragraphs graphically describing his torturous death are just part of a polite ribbing.
Seriously. We're trying to help you here. Careers end because of this. The cops get called.
One less page view for us.
#3. We're Scared of Using New Tools
There is a very easy way to start a raging, near-riot in any office:
Upgrade the equipment.
Have management buy everyone new, state-of-the-art keyboards, where the keys are just a little off from where they were on the previous versions. Let them upgrade the software or operating system to the newest and best... which includes moving around all of the menu options the employees depend on. By the end of the first day, the staff will be demanding they bring the obsolete equipment back or else they'll set the new stuff on fire and chuck it all out of the top floor window.
Windows Vista has caused more violent uprisings than the Communist Manifesto
It's not just that we blindly resist change, either. After all, we tend to spend a lot of our working hours complaining about the ancient copier or how the computers still run Windows 3.1. If the bosses get everyone together and promise we're finally getting all-new stuff next week, we'll break out the extra-fancy microwave popcorn in celebration. It's only when we sit down to actually use the new stuff for a day that the rage sets in. Why?
Well, psychologists have actually studied this, and found that for whatever reason, we can't quite get a handle on our own learning curve. Before actually using a new piece of equipment or trying a new task, we tend to overestimate how easy it will be to learn it (think of all the guitars sitting abandoned in closets right now).
He'll be that excited for about six seconds.
But then, after actually trying it, we go the other way--we overestimate how long it will take to get good at it ("I'll never be able to use this stupid thing!"). It's as if we have a balloon-like sense of our own competence. Overinflated, and easily punctured.

Ok then....
As said in the All-Nighter thread last night, after just over a season with Hoffenheim I quit despite taking them into Europe for the first time and building a strong squad. I was annoyed by the players constantly wanting out to join a bigger club even though we were going places ourselves.
So after a short time I was offered a job with Feyenoord but when I clicked 'reject' on the job offer screen and 'confirm' it turns out I'd clicked 'accept' (heehee ). I only lasted 65 days or so because I wasn't interested in managing them. Another quit which will do wonders for my club and player loyalty attribute, no doubt.
Into March and Real Zaragoza came calling, dangling a gold-plated carrot of £30,000,000 in transfer funds for me. They are fighting relegation in the Liga BBVA (Lord knows why with such a strong squad). I took the job because it represents an interesting challenge.
Morale is at rock bottom, the staff are useless and there are a few ageing big-name players in the first team who will be released.
Actually, the club as a whole is in a terrible state. It's going to be fun.
I have done much as OM, but a decent start in the league with 2 wins and 2 draws. Mandanda looks superb, as does Lucho Gonzalez! I am also France manager where i really havent started great with a win v Sweden followed by 2 0-0 draw in the 2 qualifiers. David Trezeguet announced his retirement, but i persuaded him (a day later) to come back but cant be the same for Frey who retired after only making hs 3rd cap v Sweden, but he didnt want to return.
I'm playing as Shamrock Rovers in Ireland in 2012, I've just gotten them into the Europa League Group Stages and got Sturm Graz, Man U and Deportivo. My Irish Player Policy where I can only sign Irish players is a challenge, but it's working. The finances are in good shape, and I should hopefully be turning professional next season.
EDIT: Turned Professional, Player Policy is gone

currently united in 2014 won the lot getting bored of of it now though as waiting for fm10 to start a good career came in the lower leagues
And I thought I was doing badly (I'm Arsenal!)
We're at the end of the 2019-20 season
Worst team to be relegated on mine were Everton, Man U just scraped 16th in 2014.
Started a rather different save on the FM10 demo, with TKI Tavsanli Linyitspor of the Turkish Second Division Phase 1 Group Stage Group A...phew!! Signed a "great" player who has so far scored 8 in 5 league games and shocking the Turkish football faithful sitting 3rd, miles ahead of my 11th and bottom placed prediction. Just waiting for the main game now to carry on and find out just what happens this low in the Turkish ladder of football
FM10 10.1 Patch Never touch the editor.
Loaded up all home nations and Eire.
After a ropey start to the season got Hampton & Richmond in BSS into the playoff picture at turn of the year. Went top for the 1st time with 10 games left but then hit a patch of draws. With 4 games left i was in contention but really nedeed 4 wins to have a chance of the title. The last game of the season at home to Lewes was a must win , with Lewes a point clear at the top. On a rain sodden pitch Hampton took a 2-0 lead going into the last 20 minutes, then a foul by left back gave Lewes a 79th minute penalty to make it 2-1. However the lads hung on for a famous victory and their first season in BSP.
2010/11 Season
After a 4-3 win at Barrow a 5-2 loss at Mansfield 2-0 Home win v Altrinham 1-1 Home draw v Southport last minute equaliser by Southport 3-0 Away win at Fleetwood possibly performance so far and 0-2 Home defeat v Histon we are currently 8th on 10 Points.
Hoping for a top 10 finish. Getting crowds of around 900 and losing a ton of money every month.
Scouts unearthed a little gem on right wing who at £15 a week on a free is a snip.
Didn't involve me, but I saw a Brazilian team go through 4 managers in 7 months. One of them lasted 6 days.
Just discovered in the Transfer Rumors that I'm being linked with random American players.
Let's see...
I trialled and signed this Danish regen fella in the summer and he did alright, scoring 2 goals in 2 friendlies. I brought him in as a back-up for our main striker, hoping he would be prepared to cover when necessary.
I gave him his first start against a team we were marginally better than. He was bloody awful, doing nothing the entire match and quite frankly, I was worrying about the waste of wage (£300 to be exact!)
I gave him a second chance against a team bottom of the league without a win. We won 5-0. He scored 2 and set up the other three. The moral of the story is always give your players second chances against crap teams!
The End.
Started my career game on Windows 7. Loaded up some Asian Leagues (Australia, China, Japan), North American Leagues (Canada, USA), and European ones (England, Holland, Italy, Spain). Started out with semi-pro footballer rep and got the Saitama UTD job in the J-League 1. If I stick with this save, I'll make a new thread.
Now in my 5th season at Hampton & Richmond. After a successful championship winning 1st season in BSS. I finished in season 10/11 13th
11/12 8th 12/13 2nd beaten in playoff final 1-0 by Mansfield all in BSP
After 5 games of 13/14 season top with 4 wins and a draw.
Sold 25 goal a season striker for 85k finances ok after playoff final and transfer. Turned down several league 2 jobs and Shelbourne in Eire.
Looking for promotion to football league this season.
Should really have been promoted last season but a run of 8 draws in 10 games was my downfall.
From my career game, not involving me though.
Stuart Pearce took over as England manager after South Africa '10. Lasted barely a year, replaced with Steve Bruce.
ul, Englishers.
Wow. Guus Hiddink took not qualifying for Euro 2012 with Russia really hard. He retired from football altogether :o
Started a massive career game (47 leagues in total across North America, South America, Europe, Asia, and Oceania, and partly inspired by Jason the Yank since he loaded quite a lot of leagues as well ) to play along Persma. Got a job in Saudi Arabia so I'll see how that goes, and if it goes well, I'll make a new thread.
Really hope it can last, Performance/Game Speed is 2.5 stars/0.5 stars.
'Very insecure' at Eintracht Frankfurt. God, some people don't know when they're onto a good thing

anyway KUTGW with my beloved h+r MANIBOP
The weird thing in my career game atm is that I see so many Canadians in player search that willing to join me in Saudi Arabia , but I have uni exams coming up, so I'll hope to finish the season soon, and not fail anything hopefully lol.
This year, I've been following a lot of careers (Raware, DodgeeD, JtY, Terk) and they're all good, although I'm quite interested on how Terk will turn Liverpool around.
Bosko Jankovic, at 26 and with a couple of dozen caps for Serbia, agrees to learn from a tutor - WTF?!?
Well I'm using Uncle Ron's DB to regional leagues with a few minor data amendments to some Cray players (such as positions (Tyrone Sterling changed to also be LM, as he is irl)). Just about to finish pre-season, lost my first match to Hednesford 3-2 thanks to a late goal (and I rejected the GH Academy friendly). Only a new keeper and left winger coming in so far but I lost my assisstant manager Joe Francis to a lower league club looking for a manager, so I hired some new bloke as AssMan who's actually quite decent for this level. Got a Puerto Rican RB regen who's looking quite decent and I plan to use him a few times, bleed him in, and against the advice of all my coaches I plan on using a 16 year old Comoros/British/French etc. CM whom I've forgotten the name of (something Momo iirc). About a week into the job I saw Cook Islands looking for a new U19 manager, so I applied. No response yet .
I'm not looking forward to this season now. First game of the season, 2-1 win at Aveley (strangely enoguh tht was the exact same fixture as irl, only that was a 1-1 draw), a penalty for both teams, ours converted by Tommy Osborne, and the winner scored by little wonder Lewis Wood who was a star during pre-season. 2nd game, home vs Kingstonian, win 2-0. Osborne twice, and got Cray to the top of the league (\o/). 3rd game at TMU, 0-0 draw. Now things are going wrong, lost the last 2 games without scoring. Lost 1-0 to AFC Horchurch away and before that lost a game 2-0 away, with Tommy Osborne, who up to that point had been a top player in my side, gave away 2 penalties. Might drop him for the next match. I also got a bit of stick for choosing Mark Willy as captain, like he is irl, and I thought I'd made the right choice after the first 3 games. Now we need to see how mad this season ends up, hopefully it won't be relegation, but I don't want promotion as the next season really would be a nightmare, as I need to build a squad over a few seasons.
Was mentioned as a possible candidate for the DC United job, but they decided to go for ... Alan Shearer.
My form's picking up again! 3 games unbeaten, not conceded. Beat Carshalton and Dartford either side of a draw with the bottom side Maidstone. Tommy Osborne scored 4 of my goals, with Lewis Wood scoring one and the other being an own goal.
Put 6 goals past Gold Coast, all of them in the first half.
After a draw, the fans criticized one of my midfielders and said Joel Chianese "should have played instead."
Chianese wasn't playing .... because he was suspended for yellow card accumulation. Fans.
Really struggling with Changsha in my first full season. We're yet to register a win in the first 6 league games and are bottom . We just got hammered 5-2 at home as well. So its not looking good.
I :heart: Fernando Torres. Since I took over at Liverpool his league record is 60 goals in 75 games. Legend.
I pulled off a masterstroke in the last 15 minutes of my FA Cup game against Workington. 2-0 down, been on overload all game since going behind early, move to a 4-3-3 with a trequartista, poacher and complete forward and Rob Quinn scores. Ross Lover then gets an equalizer in stoppage time. Glad that was an away game. Now for the replay I need to deal with.
Away to Bayern we have more shots, on target, CCCs, possession and pass completion - in other words we were all over them - and the media said 'we held onto a draw'!?!? WTF?
Quiet in here today
Got issues in the start of my 2nd full season with Bidvest Wits. We're winning (2-1-0) but I have all 4 of my WBL/R's out injured or suspended! Not impresed with that, going to have to play centre backs at full back in the next few games.
And now I've had to field a team without 9 players who are travelling back from an U21 game . Going to lose in the semis of the Super 8 Cup now. Rubbish.

Thought I'd add a little snippet from my game. I would probably do a proper thread but not sure how the people would react to me starting at my other club AC Milan (I go and watch them in Milan at least five times a year) rather than lower league clubs that most of you seem to start at.
Into second season and being a Charlton Athletic supporter imagine my surprise when a consortium led by ex Crystal Palace Chairman Simon Jordan rolled in and took over Inter Milan! Irony me thinks!
Ha that's pretty funny . In regards to starting your own thread, go for it. There aren't nearly enough careers with top top clubs in here. I'm sure it'd attract a lot of interest if written well.
Thanks for the advice Iacovone, I may start something in the near future if I can find some time
You've got to love optimism. Birmingham have just put in a bid to make my French international winger on loan for the season, The guy has played 50 league games for me (Liverpool) over the past two seasons, placed 3rd in Young Player of the Year two seasons ago and 1st last season. They didn't even want to arrange a future fee. Numpties.
Meh, my career is so good that people are voting for me in Botu over it ( ok it was only Sax but who cares )
Might boycott you for 2010
Anyone know what the 'h' means? Don't look at it if you don't want to know how my latest season with Celano went.
In Italy, when playoffs are drawn over 2 legs, the team that finished higher in the league qualifies.
I found out the hard way once upon a time
Abuse the manager in the press Terk, that ought to shut them up
I've taken your advice, so I can just blame you if it goes wrong
Well a couple of my squad are irritated at me being slightly unprofessional but I'll happily take that if it stops them making stupid bids.
I just have to post a picture of a great regen. It's not from my proper save, but a test save during betatesting, so I won't have the pleasure of seeing how he turns out. But the scouts gave him 3 stars for United and said he'd be a leading star for the EPL, so he must have great potential. Not being a cheater I obviously don't know exactly how much, but for starting stats like that he'll be a superstar almost no matter what I do with him. Probably the best regen I've ever seen.
He didn't arrive in our youth dept btw, I bought him from Atalanta for 4.5M.
I think I saw a thread for this kinda stuff in GQ earlier, but couldn't find it now, so posting it here instead. If you know the link to the right thread, direct me please
Here's my latest 'next big thing'. He may not look brilliant but the scouts/coaches are raving about him and he has only just turned 15.
Without doubt the best I've seen too. Granted, I haven't seen many since I'm usually stuck down the league ladder, but that's one heck of a player!
I could go back and play a bit in that test save, but I have gotten back into my Trafford save now so I'll stick with that - for now. Something like that is bound to make it though. He could slot into most EPL teams right away. Truly jawdropping.
Awesome newgen there, Per Stian.
I went back in to my FM10 career save (umpteen leagues loaded, 2nd season) as the task of getting rid of the old wood and get the right players for Albion Rovers in my 08 career save feels a chore right now.
Has 10.2.0 seen anyone's team go P16 W15 D1 L0 GF32 GA4 as well?
Granted it's Portupoofland's 2nd Division North we're talking about here, but it still strikes me as a freak defensive record
I've seen Ravenna get 15 wins in the 19 first games of the season, conceding only 8 goals, in the Serie C1A. No as good, but still quite impressive. And yep, they promoted that season...
Okay, after seeing Jason the Yank load 90 leagues, I loaded (I think) 83 leagues across 6 continents. Will be continuing my Crazy Canuck save but a bit curious on how quick the save will be...
Have delayed a job offer at Arsenal, no not that Arsenal, but Arsenal Bila Tserkva in Ukraine First Division for a week to look at other job openings...but no one else offered me another job, so here I go into the unknown...
This is an exciting time rancer
What specs is your computer?
I have a Dell Studio 15 laptop with 4 GB ram and dual core. Pity FM is a 32-bit application...the game would go so much faster. Hope it becomes a 64-bit application in the near future.
Last day of the season :
Dynamos vs Sundowns
Orlando vs Pirates
A draw will be enough to finally take the title in my fifth attempt.
75 mins Kaizer score 1-0 (lead stands at 4 points)
81 mins Dynamos score 1-0 (lead at 3 points)
89th min Orlando equalise 1-1 (lead at 2 points - equal GD)
90 mins Sundowns awarded penalty which we miss
90+4 mins Orlando score 2-1
So after leading for 29 rounds and 93 minutes, we are pipped at the death. Worst FM moment of my life.
All I can say is "unlucky."
But if it were me, I'd probably be moping about it for the rest of the day.
Opposite here. I'm still chuffed about winning promotion on penalties
Holy christ.
FA Cup at lower-league opposition. They go ahead after 15 minutes on (yet another) 25-yard screamer. We get the equalizer almost immediately with our first DFK goal in the 1+ year I've been at the club. Then we go ahead 5 minutes later.
Second half we're looking comfortable, only for a 63rd minute shot to take a deflection off one of my players into our own net. So now it's 2-2 and we end up going to extra time.
We go ahead almost straight from the kickoff, so we're up 3-2 in extra time.
Then they equalize in the 112nd minute. Only for my players to summon up one last burst of energy to stick the eventual winner home in the 116th minute.
So we win 4-3. A goal from a direct kick, an own goal, 3 goals in extra time. Match had a little bit of everything in it. One of those games that neither side deserves to lose, and you breathe a sigh of relief that you're on the positive side of the scoreline.
Sometimes the AI finds creative ways of telling us we're doing way beyond what we're expected
Funny old game.
We face Boavista (who somehow managed to get relegated and has Portupoof top division reputation) at home.
They score one from a corner out of nowhere. Fair enough. We start attacking and score two in 5 minutes. Cue back to control. We're dominating and their keeper starts pulling out unbelievable saves. They're nowhere near us.
However, AI has different plans.
Out of the blue they score 3 more goals from corners whilst we waste chance after chance. Final result 2-4. We've let in the same amount of goals than in the previous 18 matches in a match that went 16 (9) - 5 (4) in shots.

Oh FFS! I've finally battled myself to a final, the FA Trophy final, for a chance to win some silverware. About a month ago both my MC captain and DC vice-captain got injured and were out for two months - missing the final. In the 2nd last league match my DMC got himself sent off, and somehow got two matches after a double yellow offence. So he just missed the final too. And just now, 2 days before the final, my 2nd DC gets injured. This time in training, for 12 days with a bruised head.
The AI must really have something against us winning it
At least one of the MCs are back to fitness after a long injury. Unless he gets injured again tomorrow....
So that's our 4 most important players out, apart from the strikers.

FFS, the previous month I lost 5 starters to injury and now I lost my starting centre backs for probably the playoffs. Fantastic.
Can't I just go through a game with no injuries.
Following on the injury trend:
We do have this awesome player called Vouho. He's been pivotal since he joined on a free three seasons ago and is the sole reason we aren't rock bottom in Liga Vitalis with a 7.88 AR and 9 goals and 2 assists in 10(1) matches this season.
I decide to shift things and rest some 1st XI players on a Cup match. After much pondering I decide Vouho will play the first 55 minutes and will get subbed later.
Cue min 55. We're 2-1 up and I decide to give him 5 more minutes as he's ripping the oposition defence apart. Just after deciding this, he's hacked down and the commentary reads smething among the lines of: There's evident signs of pain as he's taken off from the field. He won't be able to continue.
Subbed him and had some very bad 35 minutes until we reached the FT and I saw the physio's post match report: knee knock: out for 10 to 15 days.
Phew! For a moment I was dreading a broken leg.
I'm getting the scares everytime I see a thigh strain green cross injury now. Even if I take them ASAP, they still get injured for 4-6 weeks. And the moron of a assman says he can run it off, no matter the injury.
Has the assman ever said anything but "he can run it off" from a green cross injury? Don't think I've seen it...
The horrible thing about my career game is that my injuries are all Russian. And I need my Russians since I'm only allowed 6 foreigners in the starting XI. I'm either playing my youths or playing my remaining Russians out of position.
This transfer window I'm trying to get depth with Russians and selling out foreigners, but all the good youngsters are at CSKA and Spartak and they aren't willing to sell me anyone because we're rivals.
Build up your relationship with the CSKA and Spartak manager and then gradually you'll have more luck rancer
Pangaea I don't think I've seen anything other than that either tbh. Pretty poor really as you don't get any indication other than their fitness rating as to how bad the injury is
Is it just be, or whenever I score an own goal on a corner between the 60th-70th minute, the other club finds a way to beat me with a goal in extra time.
After several false starts I'm hoping this save survives - 1st season with Hertha Berlin and we're second at Christmas, with a media prediction of 13th! Now I've said it it'll all go pear-shaped
Away to Bayer Leverkusen in the Cup quarter-final
ET we go 5-4 up! Leverkusen equalise. Then they bag a winner in the final minute!
Total heartbreak
Good match tho!
Heh, spotted this one.
Cadca were relegated from the Slovakian Second Division.
They were 0-1-32.
Even more impressively, they scored EIGHT goals all season. And conceded 104.
Their lone point came in a 1-1 home draw against Lucenec (also relegated. Probably should have been automatically relegated at the final whistle )
They lost three matches 8-0. And one of those was immediately followed with a 7-0 loss. They had a run of 12 consecutive matches in which they didn't score.
Now that is impressively terrible.
That link doesn't seem to be working
Works for me.
Very interesting final day to say the least!
I'm using Firefox and it loads instantly. Worth a look too.
Let's see what happens if I post it...
Still nothing Mike.
It still redirects to 'Page not found.'
Then why on Earth does it work for me? Odd.
Yep. Not working now.
Last 2 seasons : Relagated from BSP, 19th in BSP
Next job has a 8 million pound transfer budget. I love Japan
I've just blown 5M GBP over 48 months for a Brazilian quality AMFC. All I had and then a tad more, but he looks a massive signing for us.
I should be happy, shouldn't I?
Well, I'd probably be jollier if he'd joined us immediately and not in freaking January!!! :o
Thus, I'm left without an able complete striker to get us through UEFA EL Quals and groups should we make it this far, as 33yo suddenly decrepit Cadikovski is not up to the standard needed.
Luckily for us Rodin has improved a fair bit and doesn't do too bad there. Otherwise I'd already be tearing my hair.

WHEELING - U.S. Rep. David B. McKinley maintains that the House can't act on a Senate tax bill because the Constitution requires revenue-producing measures to originate in the House.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., blamed Republicans - especially House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio - Thursday for failing to take up the Senate's bill regarding the tax cuts. It would extend the cuts for families and small businesses with incomes lower than $250,000 a year and eliminate the break for those who earn more. All the cuts are set to expire this year if no action is taken.
But Article I, Section 7 of the Constitution states: "All Bills for raising revenue shall originate in the House of Representatives." McKinley interprets this passage to mean that tax-related measures like SB 3412 cannot have roots in the Senate.
"I am distressed with Harry Reid for insisting the Senate has passed a bill, and that the House should act, when there is none," McKinley said. "The Senate clerk has not released it because they can't. It's just political posturing from Harry Reid because it can't be released - it's unconstitutional. ... The House can't act on it."
And the Senate hasn't acted on tax cut-related legislation passed by the House, McKinley said. The most recent of these bills - "Plan B" proposed by Boehner - would have retained the tax breaks for those earning less than $1 million annually.
The Obama administration had opposed "Plan B," saying it would not have generated enough revenue.
"The bill originating in the Senate does not meet these constitutional criteria, and it has not left the Senate chamber," McKinley said. "Surely the Senate leadership is aware that this bill is being held in the Senate because it is unconstitutional.
"The bill was merely a futile act of political posturing and obstructionism," he said.
