I've just bought a Nexus 7. When I plugged it into my laptop, it shows the media folder, I'd like to access the sdcard folder just like the other devices. How to transfer files?
I think "adb push" is not a good choice.
Nexus 7 doesn't support UMS (USB Mass Storage) out of box. But, it supports file transfer by MTP (Media Transfer Protocol). MTP allows you to push and pull any type of files from sdcard, but it doesn't allow you to edit files directly on sdcard (like you do with UMS mode).
From your screenshot, it looks like your Nexus 7 is connected with PTP (Photo Transfer Protocol), also known as Camera Mode. Switch to MTP mode and do whatever you want. Also make sure your PC OS supports MTP.

FORT RILEY, Kan. (WIBW) -- In a symbolic ceremony on Fort Riley Thursday, the 4th Infantry Brigade Combat team cased its colors, marking its last step in preparing for a nine month deployment to Afghanistan.
Three thousand Dragon Brigade soldiers will join the 1st Infantry Division's headquarters in Eastern Afghanistan where the "Big Red One" is leading a regional command. They took charge of military operations in an area roughly the size of Virginia a week ago, on April 19, 2012.
Operating as Combined Joint Task Force-1, the 1st Infantry Division will command and control operations throughout RC-East which includes 14 provinces, 7.5 million Afghans and 450 km of a mountainous Pakistan border.
This is the "Dragon" brigade's third deployment since it was activated at Fort Riley in 2006. The soldiers have done two rotations to Iraq but this will be their first deployment to Afghanistan. The brigade's mission is to enable Afghanistan's government, security forces and economy to operate more independently.
"We will be in arguably the most complex combat environment and physically demanding terrain while in ruthless pursuit of insurgent networks. We will enable the transition of the Afghan government and security forces to move them firmly in the lead. Afghans leading Afghans is our goal, our charter while we're there," said Colonel Joseph Wawro, the Brigade Commander during his address at Thursday's ceremony on the Calvary Parade Field.
"We will continue with our Afghanistan partners as we enable them to have governance, security and economical development within the area and the region that we will be in," Wawro told reporters.
"Dragon" soldiers have endured a year of intense training both at the National Training Center and Mountain Warfare Center to prepare for the extreme altitudes they'll be fighting in.
As they gear up for their mission, the troops are trying to spend as much time as they can with their loved ones before they leave and have to say good-bye.
"It just goes back to a little anxiety for a lot of the soldiers because they have been training so hard, well over a year now, and they're ready to go over there and do the Army's will and at the same time, prepare their families for the deployment," said Lieutenant Colonel David Wood.

I believe that I had read the definition for a word that was described as an experience that must be experienced in order to be understood. The example was parenting in that you cannot Simply read about it to gain understanding and that you must actually live it. Is there a single word that describes this?

Here's how it works:

A common phrase for such an experience is a "first-hand experience" or something that can "only be experienced first hand." A more informal way to say this is: "you had to be there."
Similar adjectives:
And so on. I was not able to find one that specifically refers to the need of such a first-hand experience in order to fully understand something. I typically hear phrases like, "You won't understand until it happens to you."
Quale (plural: Qualia).
It's a mildly pretentious word, so use with caution. But I think it means what you want.
In such context "practical" can also be used because practical means to experience anything on your own.

WEIRTON - The Salvation Army will be showing its appreciation for all those who have supported the organization in the last year.
The Salvation Army will hold its annual appreciation dinner 6 p.m. April 15 at the Serbian American Cultural Center. The event serves as an opportunity to honor and thank those who have given to the Salvation Army to further the mission set forth by the organization to help those less fortunate during the prior year.
The dinner is open to the public, with tickets at $25 per person. Tickets must be purchased in advance.
Captain Goldie Long said the annual dinner is always a special event because its purpose is to thank all of the volunteers for their support for the Salvation Army throughout the year, especially during the Christmas season.
During the 2012 season, she said, there was an overwhelming amount of support given and those who volunteered have helped make the difference in the lives of those in the area.
"The past year has been a difficult one for many of our neighbors," Long said. "We are seeing the needs of the community grow and it's so wonderful to see such a great response of generosity in return."
Advisory Board member Cathy Ferrari added that the work of the Salvation Army has taken on an even greater importance over the past few years. No longer is it just the low- to moderate-income families needing assistance, but the needs are creeping up into the middle class and to those who have never needed the assistance before.
Ferrari said she and the Salvation Army Advisory Board are proud to be volunteers and encourage the members of the community to support the organization by attending the annual dinner.
According to reports produced by Brenda Greathouse, social services director, many people are facing layoffs and having to work multiple jobs just to maintain the status quo and even that, she said, has been difficult for families. Greathouse said without the help of the volunteers willing to give of their time and talents, helping those in need would not be easy, if not impossible.
"We would love to be able to thank everyone in person for their support for the Salvation Army," said Long.
For more information on the dinner, tickets and table sponsorships, call the Salvation Army at (304) 748-4310.

Cheers for the comments
I've changed formation now, going to a 4-5-1 system, and the results in the subsequent friendlies have improved somewhat, including a 1-0 win over Netherlands. I know it's only a friendly, but fills me with hope that our forthcoming World Cup qualifying campaign should go without a hitch.
We've been drawn with Haiti, El Salvador and Nicaragua in the 3rd Phase Group
Estudiantes: A Trophy's A Trophy
Having kept the squad stable over the summer, I felt confident that we could put on another good show this coming season. We may not have the firepower of Boca, or the financial backing of Independiente, but the players know our style well, and should be capable of stringing enough results together to be able to contend for honours. Unfortunately, several of the squad are now getting itchy feet, and starting to consider their future at the club. I've eased their fears for now, but I can't imagine it will be long before the urge to play at a higher level returns, and I may need to cash in my assets.
Argentina Primera División - 2027 Apertura (Opening Stage)
Position Graph | Fixtures | Equipo del año | South American Team of the Year
If I'm being honest, we really should have defended our Apertura trophy; it's unusual for Independiente to drop 15 points, so we really should have taken full advantage. Also, factor in that Boca and Vélez had shockers by their standards, and it's unlikely that we'll get such a great opportunity to add to our league trophies again.
We certainly didn't play our best football at this period, and occasionally, came seriously unstuck against midtable opposition. It was the points dropped against Atlético de Rafaela and Lanús that cost us the most, as if we had scored one more goal in each of those games, we would have earned another four points to put us clear at the top of the table.
Unfortunately, we did suffer an injury crisis too, and at one particular point of the campaign, the key trilogy of Pérez, Suárez and Parra were all side-lined at the same time. By far, these three are our best players, and as good as the back-ups are, they really are not in the same class, meaning we lacked the guile and creativity to pick teams off, and put ourselves in winning positions.
Estudiantes 4-0 Gimnasia - Another fantastic derby win. What made it even sweeter was the fact that Gimnasia's manager got sacked the next day too!!
Atl. Rafael 3-2 Estudiantes - An injury time goal cost us a point here. We played poorly, but still should have had enough to get a result against this midtable side.
Estudiantes 3-2 Huracán - We fluked three points, scoring twice in the last five minutes to snatch victory out of the jaws of defeats!
Estudiantes 2-1 Rosario Central - Winning our final fixture confirmed our second place finish, but alas, was not enough to overtake Independiente, who also won their last Apertura game.
Copa Sudamericana - 2027
It may not be South America's 'premier' competition, as the top sides from Brazil are not entered, but I'm still delighted to be able to add the Copa Sudamericana to our trophy cabinet.
Most of the ties were pretty rudimentary, where we were comfortable victors over the two legs, but it was the semi-final against River Plate that exhibited the most drama. We played poorly in the first leg, and found ourselves with a two goal deficit to overturn on the return leg. Thankfully, the team pulled it out of the bag, putting in their best performance of the season, securing our passage into the final!
Estudiantes 3-0 River - The comeback of comebacks! We needed to win by three clear goals, and that we did. It was never in doubt; River were terrible!
Botafogo 1-3 Estudiantes - The first leg of the final, in Brazil, and we put ourselves in a commanding position by scoring three times in the first half.
Estudiantes 2-1 Botafogo - A draw would have been enough to lift the trophy, but we did it in style, scoring two late second half goals to win the match, and the tie overall.

Congrats on winning the Copa Sudamericana but unlucky on just missing out on the Apertura.
The sudamericana is a nice consolation prize.
Its a competition victory - Sudamericana is still prestigious in its own right!
In the South American Team of the Year, there is this Oscar Donda who seems to be on fire. Can we see a screenshot of his attributes and career stats, if its not too much of a hassle?
That 1-0 in the Semi Final was definitely an outcast. Look at the 7-6 in the first round extra time or not.
Here's his profile and career stats
Always nice getting a trophy and winning a continental competition.
Thanks rancer, sure is. Two trophies in two and half seasons isn't a bad record, I suppose!
On a side note, just noticed this...
...which made me smile a lot!!

Woah, some fall.
Oh dear...Toffees...hope they're not relegation threatened in league two...
I dont mind seeing Everton down there .
It appears FM12 is alot more random for bigger teams falling,FM11 was normally Wigan falling.On my 1st FM12 save,Sunderland were fighting relegation in League 2!
I had the classics of Wigan and Nottingham Forest, both ended up in Blue Square North.
Wigan aren't really a bigger team, very much enjoyed seeing them fall so much on FM11.
Well done on winning the Copa Sudamerica.
How the mighty have fell.
Unfortunately, Everton have just won the League Two title, so will be back in League One next season, playing against the likes of Bath and Barrow!!
Wigan have faired slightly better on my save, having stayed in the Premier League until 2021/22, when they were relegated. They're still in the Championship six years on.
Congrats on the Copa Sudamericana. Might not be the big trophy but it's still a piece of silverware.
Surprised Donda hasn't been snapped up by one of the European giants. He looks a great striker and still quite young. The Everton decline is awful. Hopefully we will be back soon though.
In one of my games Wigan were owned by a tycoon spent over 50 Million and finished with 2 points!
Estudiantes: Fighting On All Fronts
As much as I love Argentine football, I've come to think that I've done as much as I possibly can with this club; we just don't seem to have the financial clout to break into the elite group of South American clubs. Factor in that we actually made a net profit in transfers this season, whilst still dipping into the red, and it's pretty clear that things are not likely to improve overnight without serious investment from the board and/or the stadium being enlarged. This isn't likely to happen anytime soon, so unless I end up cashing in some of my prize assets, I can imagine things becoming somewhat stale reasonably soon.

Argentina Primera División - 2028 Clausura (Closing Stage)
Position Graph | Fixtures | Season Summary
Talk about stumbling over the line! After 14 games played, we had a six point advantage over Boca, as well as two games in hand, so should have easily had the Clausura trophy sewn up well before the final league game. But, alas, we tried our hardest to throw it away, winning only one of our final five matches, and had to rely on a scrappy draw against Rosario Central to lift my second Primera División title. I'm delighted that we did it (eventually!), but have some serious concerns about the apparent lack of bottle that the first team has.
Estudiantes 6-0 All Boys - The finest league performance of this campaign, with Pérez bagging four goals
Estudiantes 5-2 River - A typical Argentine league match, plenty of goals.
Vélez 0-1 Estudiantes - A credible victory against tough opposition. We only just nicked it, though.
Estudiantes 0-2 Boca - This game saw the momentum swing towards Boca after we lost this crucial six-pointer. It was a pretty abject performance from us too.
Estudiantes 0-3 Godoy Cruz - Total shambles. We couldn't even beat a mid-table side who were reduced to ten men after two minutes. Their striker had a field-day against my sloppy back four.
Rosario Central 0-0 Estudiantes - We just about clung on to the point needed to lift the trophy in a nail-biting finale. It wasn't a pretty, or particularly eventful match, but we did the job.
Copa Libertadores
Group Stages (A-D) | Group Stages (E-H) | Fixtures
Once again, we came unstuck against the mighty Corinthians, this time in the semi-final. The gulf in class between the best team in Brazil and the rest of South America is pretty alarming, especially considering the battering they handed out to Independiente in the final too! Reaching the semi-final was still more than I expected, but to be fair, we were very rarely tested until we came unstuck against the defending champions in the final four.
Corinthians 2-0 Estudiantes - Their quality was just too much for us, and we were lucky to escape from Brazil with only a two goal deficit.
Estudiantes 1-1 Corinthians - We bossed the second leg with a much more spirited performance. Unfortunately for us, we conceded an early away goal, which effectively killed the tie dead.
Copa Argentina
Fixtures | Overview
How on earth did we end up losing this?! We had a fairly routine path to the final, where only mid-table side, Argentinos, stood between us and another cup victory. The fact that we comfortably lost the final is nothing less than an embarrassment, and is one of the lowest points from my time at the club.
Estudiantes 1-3 Argentinos - Another total shocker. We were odds-on favourites to win the final, but found ourselves 3-0 down at the interval, after an abysmal display. Having used the head-dryer at half-time, we played slightly better in the second half, even though we lost our tempers a bit, and had a player sent off.
Squad Overview
Key Players: Gerardo Pérez (35 goals, 21 assists), Oscar Parra (17 goals, 16 assists), Gerardo Suárez (21 assists), Oscar González (19 goals, 10 assists), Gabriel Pastoriza (11 goals)

Team of the Year | Overall Best XI
The first team squad is still as good as it was, but really could do with three or four new faces to add to the depth of it. Getting to the latter stages of all four competitions really put a strain on my 23-man squad, meaning that some players were going into games a bit jaded, and not in optimum condition. Unfortunately, there was very little I could do about this, as we were regularly playing three times a week, so was unable to give the prolonged rest that many of the team needed.

And so, after three seasons in charge, I've decided to let my contract run down with Estudiantes.
I've had an enormous amount of fun in Argentina, particularly enjoying the attacking end-to-end style of football played, but have come to the decision that the club could never match my own personal ambitions. If we were to become the best club side in South America, we'd need serious investment in the facilities, the stadium and the playing squad; something that would only happen if I sold off a couple of my key players to big European sides. This would certainly demoralise me somewhat, and would leave a very bitter taste in my mouth. At least by jumping ship now, I'll always have fond memories of my time with Los Pincharratas, leaving my successor with some very tough decisions to make about the long term future of the club.
You end on a bit of a high though.
Any idea where you might head next?
Congrats on the title win,unlucky in the Copa Libertadores.Interesting to see where you end up next.
Well done in Argentina. Where next we wonder...
Thanks guys, it's been fun in Argentina!
The ink's just about dry on the contract with my new club, and all being well, I should get a post up later today about them. To give you a small teaser, they start with 'L'...

Bayer 04 Leverkusen: They'll Never Say Never Again!
Having been offered the job at one of Germany's top sides, it was always likely that I was going to bite their hand off! I've always enjoyed the German leagues, especially considering the reasonably short domestic season, and the very liberally squad registration regulations.
Leverkusen were formed back in 1904, after an employee wrote a letter seeking their company's support in starting a sports club. Their employers agreed, forming a club for footballers, athletes, gymnasts and the like. By 1907 a separate football department was formed within the club, as there was serious animosity between the gymnasts and other athletes competing under the Tum-und Spielverein Bayer 04 Leverkusen brand name. Eventually the club split completely, and in 1928 a separate football association was formed, with the club making their foray into the fourth and third tiers of German football. They eventually reached the top division for the first time in 1951.
Asides from winning the UEFA cup against Espanyol in 1988, and the DFB-Pokal in 1993, the club have consistently failed to win major silverware, despite coming extremely close on several occasions. Between the years of 1997 and 2002, the club finished second in the Bundesliga on four separate occasions, including two horrific collapses when the title was easily within their grasp. Factor in the 2002 defeats in both the DFB-Pokal and Champions League finals, and it's easy to understand why the club was dubbed 'Neverkusen' by the press.
Bundesliga - Contested between 18 teams, playing each other twice on a round robin format. The team finishing top after all 34 games played is declared champions of Germany. Simples! Having slipped down to 5th in UEFA coefficients, only the top three qualify for the Champions League, where 4th-6th qualify for the Europa League (depending on DFB-Pokal winners).
Club Finances | Club Reputations
In the 'FM' world, Leverkusen have actually lifted three recent Bundesliga title, and have failed to finish outside the top three for the past fourteen seasons. The board expect another title challenge this season, which is realistic goal for us. I'd imagine that Dortmund and Bayern will be the major challengers, but it looks as it Schalke, Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen all have the potential to cause us a few problems too.
DFB-Pokal - A straight-forward knockout cup competition, where you need to win six games to lift the trophy. The board doesn't give a monkey's toss about this, but we'll still give it a go.
UEFA Champions League - You know how this works, right?! Europe's leading competition; the board expects us to reach the 1st Knockout Round.
Leverkusen: The State of Play
Facilities | Finances | Previous Managers
Contract Length: 5 years | Wage: £33.5k per week
Transfer Budget: £7m | Wage Budget: £1.2m (currently spending £1.1m)
Having moved into the state-of-the-art Leverkusen Stadium back in 2021, the club is set up very nicely indeed. Really, there's no reason why we can't go on to big things; I just need to ensure Champions League qualification every season, which will bankroll the playing staff, allowing us to seriously compete for honours. Initially, I'll be looking to establish ourselves at the top of German football, but I can't see any reason why we won't be able to contend for the biggest prize in European football within a couple of seasons.
Squad Overview
Key Players: Chorão, Lamara Mazari, Anis Laabidi, Khaled Ibrahim, Hugo, Tomas Mamurov
Promising Youngsters: Tahsin Demirtas, Salia Nantoumé, Medeni Kaynak
Taking over just three days before the start of the league campaign isn't particularly ideal, but the squad I've inherited is more than capable of putting in an instant title challenge. We've got a strong 'keeper in Mazari, a couple of excellent centre-backs (Laabidi and Ibrahim), as well as a natural goalscorer in Hugo. Also, Chorão is quite possibly the best defensive midfielder I've ever seen in my life!
My only real concern is the lack of quality German nationals currently in the ranks. It appears that homegrown talent has been seriously overlooked recently, with only two German's anywhere near contention for the starting eleven. I've got a few promising youngsters coming through in the under-20s team, but these are unlikely to make the first team squad for a good couple of seasons, so it will be a case of paying a premium price for any national players I can sign in the near future.
Ah, they were one of the teams I felt it would be.
Good luck in Germany! Chorão looks excellent.
Good luck with Leverkusen
Good luck (kinda) with Leverkusen. But you're starting to manage clubs I don't really like. Liverpool and now Leverkusen.
Conrats in South America, AK22! Just getting back into FM and you've given me a lot to read! Congrats on moving ot Germany and look forward to seeing how you take on Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen starts with a B. You cheated us.
To me it's like saying your next club begin with "U" when you're joining Manchester United, because some people refer to them as "United". But then I'm picky about what I call clubs - I'm the type of weirdo who insists on Crvena Zvezda, not "Red Star", for example
Exactly, I consider them an 'L'.
Marseille are commonly referred to as l'OM, but I take your point with the others.
Leverkusen: Off And Running
Having joined the club so close to the opening league fixture, I had very little time to mark my stamp on the team with any forays into the transfer market. In fact, asides from signing a couple of talented youngsters, I decided against making any big name transfers, relying completely on the squad I had inherited from my predecessor. I decided to line up in a 4-4-2 diamond, mirroring the tactics I had used previously in my time at Estudiantes. My initial assessment of the squad suggested it's greatest strength is it's attacking prowess, so I'm hoping that this formation will get the best goal returns from the team.
Bundesliga 2028/29 Winter Break
We've made an impressive start in the league, opening up a seven point cushion at the top of the table at the halfway point. We're also playing great football too, scoring for fun at times in a very competitive league. Obviously, we're currently looking comfortable favourites, but any team down to Schalke in seventh place have the potential to cause us problems in the second half of the season, so we certainly need to watch our backs.
Leverkusen 4-2 FC Bayern - Our first big test came in our second league fixture, and we really stepped up to the plate, securing a great win with two late goals.
Dortmund 1-0 Leverkusen - Another early six-pointer; unfortunately, we lost our cool against the defending champions, ending the match with ten men.
Union Berlin 4-5 Leverkusen - Goals galore. If you included the own goals, Berlin scored six in total!
Leverkusen 4-0 Stuttgart - Marcelo Pérez scored a fantastic hat-trick in a match we dominated.
Leverkusen 3-0 Köln - My first local derby, and we comfortably beat our rivals.
Werder Bremen 1-2 Leverkusen - We took another three points off another title challenger, which really consolidated our position at the top of the table.
UEFA Champions League 2028/29 Group Stages (Group F)
Marseille were always going to be tough opposition, but I was always fairly confident we would qualify from our group with ease. Ideally, we would have topped the standings, which we were very close to doing, but will now have to face one of the group winners in the spring knockout rounds. That side will be Atlético Madrid, and we'll have to put in two very good performances if we're going to make any further progress in this season's competition.
Marseille 4-2 Leverkusen - A tough opening fixture against the top seeds. A better performance here, and we would have won the group.
Leverkusen 7-2 Standard - Hugo had a field day against Standard's meek defence, bagging himself four goals.
Standard 1-3 Leverkusen - Another easy victory against the Belgians.
Looking very comfortable.
Looking very good so far.Hope you can keep it up.
Give me a B...
Give me an A...
Give me a Y...
Give me an E...
Give me a R...
What do you get?
Bayer Leverkusen.
Great first half of the season. Going very well in the league.
Looks like you starting to open up a good gap between you and the rest of the field. Guess Stuttgart will have to settle for 2nd then!

Mexico: The Start Of The Road To France 2030
Qualifying for the World Cup is a must for this proud nation, and there shouldn't be any excuses for failing to do so. Unfortunately, this squad is full of complacent, brain-dead morons who just expect to turn up and win. At times, despite their obvious high levels of skill, they find it almost impossible to string a series of passes together, let alone carve out any decent goalscoring chances. To be honest, I'm now at a loss about what to do with this team, and just hope we can bumble through qualification without too many embarrassing defeats along the way.

Really, we should have comfortably topped the group, but El Salvador are unstoppable at the moment! They're considerably higher than us in the world rankings too, so I can't be too disappointed that we only finished second. We still easily qualified for the next round though, where we'll have to finish ahead of the likes of USA and Honduras if we want to make it to the World Cup finals.

Leverkusen: Making Our Mark
After having made such an encouraging start to our campaign, I was eager for this form to continue well into the New Year, so that we would remain in a position to contend for honours come the end of the season.
Unfortunately, off the field, things are starting to take a turn for the worse, as the club is running at a serious loss. Even with the Champions League TV revenue, things are looking bleak, so part of my summer project will be to reduce the wage bill, bringing it in line with the club's income totals. There's also a club takeover on the horizon too, as the chairman status is now set to 'will listen to offers'. Ideally, the new owner will pump a bit of money into the club's coffers, helping to alleviate the financial burden, and give me the opportunity to bring a few new faces in.

Bundesliga 2028/29 End of Season
Position Graph | Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 | Season Summary | Elf des Jahres
We maintained our stranglehold on the league through the winter months and well into the spring, securing the title with a couple of games to go. Being honest, it wasn't ever in a lot of doubt either, especially after strong showings against Dortmund and Schalke, which helped to consolidate our advantage over the chasing pack. Really, it's our goalscoring prowess that set us apart from the rest of the league, having averaged near-enough three goals a game, whilst remaining reasonably secure at the back too. There's still plenty of work to be done in preparation for next season, though, as I would like to improve our consistency and defensive organisation, but I would still imagine that we will be there or thereabouts again next time too.
Leverkusen 5-3 FSV Frankfurt - This eight-goal thriller was a fantastic game for the neutral! Our defending left a lot to be desired though.
Leverkusen 5-0 Dortmund - Surely one of the most one sided six-pointers? A great win over our nearest challengers!
Köln 0-4 Leverkusen - Another derby-day victory. We won't have the pleasure next season, though, as Köln were relegated on the final day.
Leverkusen 4-0 RB Leipzig - Pure class from Hugo, netting a hat-trick on the way to another convincing win.

Group Stages (A-D) | Group Stages (E-H) | Fixtures
The knockout rounds were a bit of an anticlimax for us in this season's Champions League, having fallen foul at the first hurdle. To be fair, even if we had got past Atlético Madrid, I'm pretty sure Barcelona would have put us firmly back in our box. Currently, we're nowhere near good enough to be contending in the latter stages of this competition, and will need a much more resolute defence to stand even half a chance in the coming years.
Leverkusen 2-2 At. Madrid - We dominated the first leg, but still let a two goal lead slip. Disappointing.
At. Madrid 5-2 Leverkusen - At 2-2 it was looking good for extra-time, or even a shock victory. However, three goals in nine minutes put pay to any dreams we had of making it to the quarter-final.
Squad Overview
Key Players: Hugo (39 goals), Santos (22 assists), Hilmi Bilgiç (13 assists), Marcelo Pérez (13 goals), Chorão
Fans Player of the Year: Hugo
Team of the Year | Overall Best XI
Hugo was undoubtedly the star of this year's show. Not only did he break the club's goalscoring record, he also broke the Bundesliga record for most goals in a season, too. Throw in the fact he was the leading marksman in the whole of Europe, and it's not difficult to comprehend how vital he was to the team. However, I really shouldn't overlook Santos, who also played a pivotal role in the team's success, earning him the accolade of German Footballer of the Year.
As I've said previously, the squad is probably the best in Germany, but it still doesn't feel like 'my team' yet. Ideally, I will be looking to have a bit of a clear out in the summer, and start rebuilding from the back. I'm not convinced that my two best centre-backs really cut the mustard at Champions League level, so could do with a natural born leader and organiser to galvanise the back four. Sure, the current defenders are good enough to contend with the majority of the Bundesliga's strike-forces, but if we're going to make progress in Europe, we're going to need personnel of a higher calibre. Whether I get the money I need to bring someone of that quality in, that's yet to be seen.

Congrats on the title win,unlucky in the Champions League but at least you know what you have work on
Tough beat in the Champions League, but its good to know where you stand and what you need to do. Domestic is good, now to concentration on Continental.
Great start with Bayer Leverkusen.
AK mind sharing your tactical settings? NEVER got a 442 diamond to work properly!
I like the 4-4-2 Diamond as well. Worked a treat for me in Germany with Hoffenheim. Check the Hoffenheim team thread out in the GPTG if you want to see mine.
Solid work AK22. Hope all this winning this early won't get you bored with Leverkusen.
Here's my current set-up at Leverkusen:
TBH, it's pretty basic, and in the main, the players have the default settings created from the tactics creator. From an attacking perspective, I encourage the two strikers to push the defence back, hence why they are both on attack duty, so that the space is created in 'the hole' for the playmaker (Santos) to thrive in. I also have the two front men swapping position, meaning that it is a more dynamic attack that can cause confusion in the opposition defence. The AMC's main duty is just to sit there and play the killer balls that the poacher can latch on to; I'm not overly interested in him bombing forward, as three central players in the box will tend to get in each others way.
Defensively, it's still a work in progress. Last season, I was disappointed by the amount of goals we shipped, three or four per game at times. Even with an anchor man protecting the centre-backs, we were susceptible to the counter-attack, and often struggled to regain possession when losing the ball high up the pitch. Part of this, I'm sure, was down to personnel, and with two new centre-backs joining the club in the summer, I'm feeling confident that we will be more resolute next season. I've also adjusted the mentality of the two centre backs, reverting from a stopper-cover combination to a defend-defend. Although this may put us more at risk from through balls from the midfield, I'm hoping that the defence will work in a more united cohesive unit.
One other point to note; even though the tactics above shows closing down on 'default', I will increase this to 'press more' throughout the course of the game. By doing this, I find it counter-balances the fact that we play with no natural central-midfielders, and at times, will need to minimise the amount of space available in the centre of the park.
Thanks for that Ak, and you other lads that replied re the diamond, I'll have a good play see what happens. :-)
Mexico: A Summer To Forget
With the World Cup qualifying campaign not going 100% to plan, I was looking for a good showing from the side over the course of the two competitions we would be entered into this summer. In particular, due to the class of nations entered, the Confederation Cup would give us a good indication of what would be realistic expectations if we do secure our passage to the 2030 World Cup.
FIFA Confederations Cup 2029
Group Stages
Spain 1-1 Mexico - Not a bad start by us. Spain aren't the all-dominant side they used to be, but it was still a solid point against tough opposition.
Mexico 0-2 Italy - This was a hugely demoralising 90 minutes; having dominated the game, Italy totally robbed the points off of us.
Mexico 0-0 China - Again we should have won, but just couldn't make the crucial breakthrough.
We definitely drew the short straw when the group stages were announced, having to face both Italy and Spain in the opening games. However, all three games were settled by very fine margins, and if we had had our shooting boots on, it was conceivable that we could have won at least two of the matches. Alas, it was, again, our lack of goals that signalled our demise, and saw us crash out in the group stages. The FA wanted us to reach the semi-final, so they're not too happy either!
Knockout Rounds
Surprisingly, both the European nations failed to reach the final, where China took a shock victory over Uruguay.
CONCACAF Gold Cup
Group Stages
Mexico 0-1 Costa Rica -Not the start I was hoping for. They had one shot all game, and of course, they scored from it! Grrr!
Bermuda 0-5 Mexico - It was as one-sided as the scoreline suggested. This is the type of performance we should be putting in every time.
Mexico 1-2 Guatemala - Another shambles, made even worse by a final minute winner from our opposition.
Knockout Rounds
USA 0-1 Mexico - We had to wait until extra-time to make the breakthrough, but we were still good value for the victory.
Mexico 0-1 Guatemala - Seven players booked, and one sent off; we totally lost our cool in the semi-final, and found ourselves humbled by Guatemala once again.
I don't know what I'm more embarrassed about; the fact that we only just scraped through a routine group stage, or that we crashed out to Guatemala in the semi-final. Having been the favourites, and defending champions, our performance in this competition has been nothing short of totally unacceptable. Factor in our poor show in the Confeds Cup too, and I'm amazed that the Mexican FA haven't handed me my P45. Remarkably, I've got a stay of execution for now, and will need to see a huge improvement in the rest of the World Cup qualifying campaign if I'm going to remain in my position for too much longer. Not that I'm particularly confident of seeing that happen, as to be honest, I'm at a complete loss to explain why we've been so poor, and don't see any easy fixes that will show any immediate improvement.
I'm not getting my hopes up.
Ouch! Can't imagine the Mexican media are giving you an easy ride at the minute!
Leverkusen: Pre-Season 2029/30
We were good last season, so I'm expecting another strong showing domestically this time around. The big project will be to make this club one of the best in Europe, and capable of challenging for Champions League honours in a few years time. Unfortunately, German sides haven't been particularly successful in recent continental competitions, with only Dortmund making a final appearance back in 2026. Due to this, there is the very prevalent threat of the Russian Prem'er Liga overtaking the Bundesliga and becoming the fifth best league in Europe, so it's not just down to us to improve our performances; the other German representatives also need to raise their game too.
Board Expectations
Bundesliga: Challenge for the title
UEFA Champions League: Reach the First Knockout Round
DFB-Pokal: Not important
DFL-Supercup: Not important
Media Prediction: 1st
Transfer Budget: £1.26m
Wage Budget: £1.2m per week (currently spending £1.1m per week)
Transfer Summary
Key Signings: Iván Hernández (DC) £3m, Daniel Dladla (DC) £4m, Boris Reutershahn (AMC) Free
I'm a bit disappointed by the meagre transfer budget allocated to me this season, so I've been unable to make as many signings as I would have liked. However, there was still enough to do a bit of wheeling-dealing, and I've prioritised the signing of a couple of centre-backs, who look the real deal, and will hopefully tighten the defence.
Look like excellent deals.
Lost to Guatemala again.
A poor couple of tournaments with Mexico....especially with China getting through the group stage and being knocked out by Guatemala :confused:.
So, I've had worse job offers...
I did half consider it, but don't really want to be leaving Deutschland yet.
Leverkusen: Keeping It Consistent
After having such a strong first year at the club, it was important that we didn't become complacent this season, and lose our grip on the Bundesliga trophy. Obviously, I will be looking for a bit more progress in the Champions League this time around, but I still feel that the league is the main priority, and wouldn't want to sacrifice our domestic form for European glory. Tactically, it's still the same too, playing a 4-4-2 diamond in the majority of matches. Simply put; this worked last season, so I've got no reason to change things at this current moment in time.
Bundesliga 2029/30 Winter Break
Not quite as convincing as this time last season, where we had a seven point advantage at the half way stage, but we've still done enough to be top of the tree at Christmas. Dortmund and Stuttgart both look capable of putting in a title challenge, and considering we've already dropped points against both teams this season, they could easily close the gap on us in the spring. Most surprisingly, is the demise of Bayern Munich, who find themselves down in seventh place, and twelve points off the pace. They're still comfortably the richest club in the land, so it's quite a shock that they can't put together a team that could challenge for the title.
Leverkusen 5-0 Freiburg - What a way to start our title defence, with Hugo picking up from where he left off last season!
Leverkusen 5-0 Hoffenheim - Another dominant performance, another Hugo hat-trick.
Stuttgart 4-0 Leverkusen - We crashed back down to earth with this demoralising defeat to one of our challengers.
Werder Bremen 1-4 Leverkusen - Our best performance on the road so far.
UEFA Champions League 2029/30 Group Stages (Group F)
We were second seeds again, so I wasn't overly confident that we would top the group, especially with Man Utd being the top seeds. However, due to results between the two teams, we, somehow, managed to secure first place, and a tie against Arsenal in the next round.
Leverkusen 3-1 Man Utd - A great win over the top seeds, even though we weren't the better team on the day.
Man Utd 2-1 Leverkusen - Possibly the dirtiest match I've seen; 14 bookings and two red cards!
Bari 1-3 Leverkusen - This looked a tricky game on paper, but in the end, it was a more than comfortable victory.

Mexico: Meeting Expectations
After our shocking summer, it was crucial that we completed the job in our World Cup qualifying campaign. I'm only just hanging on to my job by the skin of my teeth, so failing to qualify would surely be the final nail in my coffin. I've gone back to basics tactics wise, lining up with a bog standard 4-4-2. To be honest, performances can't get much worse.
FIFA World Cup CONCACAF Qualifiers 4th Phase
Considering the precarious nature of my job status, you could say I was relieved to qualify as group winners! We still can't beat bloody Guatemala though, as they continue to be a constant thorn in our sides, being the only side that we dropped points against in the qualifying campaign. Asides from that, it's very much 'job done', so we can now look forward to a trip to France in the summer.
Mexico 4-0 USA - USA are pretty crap now, so it's no big surprise that we comfortably beat them by four goals.
Guatemala 1-0 Mexico - Aargh! Why can't we beat them?! They totally bossed us too!
USA 1-2 Mexico - A solid away win against our rivals.
Mexico 2-2 Guatemala - A huge crowd saw the most one-sided of matches to end in a 2-2 draw!

USA bottom? Excellent. And far better this time. You're half-forgiven.
Why is USA so crappy in your save? (and Canada didn't make it to the Hex )
I love that in the screenshot for Hernandez he has reacted badly to a recent comment. Nice of you to make him welcome
Looking very strong on both domestic and international fronts.Keep up the good work
Looking good all over the place. That Man Utd. match was crazy with the number of cards!
Canada were in the same group as Guatemala and Honduras, and everyone knows that you can't beat Guatemala!
Leverkusen: The Unexpected Successes
With the improvement in the club's finance, this season, the board have agreed my requests to improve the training and youth facilities. They've also deemed it appropriate to expand the stadium by 5111 seats too, so next season we'll boast a capacity of 65000, the third highest in the division (behind Bayern Munich and Dortmund). All of this is extremely good news, and will help to ensure we continue to grow the stature of the club into one of the major forces in European football.

Position Graph | Fixtures 1 | Fixtures 2 | Season Summary | Elf des Jahres
After having a three point advantage at the half way stage, I was delighted that we managed to extend this to nine with only a handful of games remaining. Dortmund gave us a good fight, but ultimately could not get close enough to us to put us under any severe pressure, meaning that we had the league title sewn up with two matches left to play.
We, perhaps, haven't been as pleasing on the eye as last season, having scored 16 less goals than the previous term, but we've definitely been good enough value for our success. Other positives for the season include our improved defence, as we haven't had as many high-scoring thrillers, and the fact we've been good at grinding out results from adverse positions. All-in-all, a very solid trophy-defending campaign.
Freiburg 1-4 Leverkusen - Our first game after the break, and we continued where we left off.
Dortmund 1-0 Leverkusen - A tough six-pointer, where we were played off the park by our nearest challengers.
Leverkusen 6-0 Gladbach - One of the performances of the season. Hugo scored another hat-trick.
Leverkusen 3-2 Stuttgart - A true battle of a match, which saw us take the lead twice, only to be pegged back within two minutes twice.
Leverkusen 1-1 Werder Bremen - This was the point that secured us the title with two more games left to play.
DFB-Pokal - I may have heavily rotated the team in the early rounds, but getting to the final certainly did enough to grab my attention to this competition. A full strength team took the field for the final against Gladbach, and with the help of extra-time, we lifted the trophy for the first time in twelve seasons. This certainly wasn't the highlight of our season, but was still a good accolade to achieve, and adds another winners medal to my increasingly collection.
Gladbach 0-2 Leverkusen - Gladbach missed a penalty, and their opportunity to pull off a shock victory. We punished them in extra-time, with Hugo scoring the crucial goals.

What a unbelievable triumph this was, making it a treble-winning season!
I certainly didn't expect to make it all the way to the final, but after scraping past Arsenal in the First Knockout Round, I was quietly confident that we could at least make the final four. Celtic were a lot tougher than I expected, maybe I under-estimated them, but we were still comfortable winners over the two legs. This set up a mouth-watering semi-final against the great Barcelona, where we put in two top-drawer performances to pull off the shock of the season, and secure our place in the final.
Of course, I'd been to the final of the Champions League before. Twice, in fact, with Liverpool, and had lost them both, the latter time courtesy of an AC Milan victory, so I was determined to make it third time lucky and avenge my previous disappointments! We started the game slowly, and quickly found ourselves a goal down. However, seven magical minutes saw Santos score a brace, turning the tie on it's head. We held Milan off for the remaining 25 minutes, even seeing the game out with ten men, and lifted 'Big Ears' for the first time in the club's history.
Arsenal 1-1 Leverkusen - A tough first leg, so I was delighted to go back to Germany level-pegging.
Leverkusen 2-0 Arsenal - Bit of a snatch 'n' grab, but a great result.
Celtic 1-1 Leverkusen - Our trip to Scotland didn't quite go to plan, but having scored an early away goal, it was always likely that we would still go through.
Leverkusen 2-0 Barcelona - A confident first leg performance, putting us in a commanding position for the return match.
Barcelona 2-3 Leverkusen - The shock of the season! Barcelona will feel hard done by, as we clinical took our chances when they came along.
AC Milan 1-2 Leverkusen - Such an uncomfortable match to watch! Thankfully, Santos earned himself legendary status by scoring the goals that won the trophy.
Squad Overview
Key Players: Hugo (37 goals), Santos (20 assists), Chorão (Av R 7.41), Lamari Mazari (22 clean sheets)
Fans Player of the Year: Hugo
Team of the Year | Overall Best XI
Undoubtedly, the key to our success this season was the improvement to our defence, with the signings of Daniel Dladla and Iván Hernández being the two individuals that made the most amount of difference; it's really quite staggering that they only cost me a combined £7m! We've also had more than our fair share of good luck on the injury front too, as I've had the luxury of a full squad to choose from in the majority of matches, so we've been able to keep the team fresh and vitalised throughout the course of the season. I can honestly say that there was no point this season where I could validly had a small grumble about the players unavailable for selection.
Going forward, there's still areas I'd like to improve upon. As well as looking to strengthen the wide areas of fullbacks and midfield, I'm also looking to add another proven goalscorer to the ranks. I think we've become heavily reliant on Hugo to produce the goods on a week-by-week basis, and even though he's in the form of his life, his deputies just don't seem clinical enough to step in when needed. If he gets a long-term injury, it could possibly ruin our whole season.

Great treble given you were nowhere near the pokal or CL last year, so great winning jumps forward in both.
Congrats on an amazing season
Just read the whole thread. Looks like you've had a great career. I'd recommend leaving Germany soon. It's great fun to play there for a bit, but the Bundesliga is just too easy to win on FM. I'd suggest Italy as a far better challenge due to there being less money unless you fancy Spain (non Barca, Real, Valencia, Malaga, Atleti teams).
Great seasons! Congrats on the Champions League as well as the dometic title.
Cracking season mate.
I've missed a lot, great work with Leverkusen!
Even though I've still got another three seasons left to run on my current contract with Leverkusen, I'd be amazed if I see it out to the end. We're pretty dominant domestically now, so the main challenge this coming season will be to defend the Champions League trophy. Saying that, I do enjoy the German Leagues, with it's 34 games per season and only one cup competition, so I'm in no immediate rush to jump ship. However, when I do eventually leave Leverkusen, Spain and Italy are certainly on the radar for my next destination.
Mexico: A Fortnight In Italy
So, we finally made it to Italy 2030, virtually unscathed from our qualifying campaign. The FA wanted us to reach the second round, which was a pretty realistic expectation, but given our flaky previous performances, I couldn't take it for granted that we would get out of our group.
Fortunately, I was able to select the strongest possible squad, favouring the majority of players who helped secure our passage to the final.
Squad Overview
FIFA World Cup 2030
Group Stages
Mexico 0-0 Columbia - Columbia are now one of the best teams in the world, so there was no shame in taking away just a point in our opening fixture.
China 1-1 Mexico - The winners of the Confederations Cup were up next, and once again, a draw was a fair enough result.
Croatia 2-3 Mexico - A must win match, and that we did. Just. Omar Diaz scored a great hat-trick, which ensured we went through to the next round as group runners-up.
A few shocks in the groups, with Brazil, Netherlands, Portugal and England all having shocking campaigns. Even France struggled to get through, having to rely on their slightly superior goal difference to advance to the next stage.
Knockout Rounds
Italy 2-0 Mexico - If we had won the group, we would have got Tunisia. Unfortunately for us, we didn't, and had the tough ask of having to face the hosts. Italy were just too good for us, comfortably winning by two goals, and sending us packing back home.
What a tournament! Not just to first ever African finalists, but also the first ever all-African final; Mali triumphed with a 2-0 victory over Cameroon.

I'm familiar with container functors and older work by Dybjer on categorical models for W-types in the extensional theory, but I was looking for some similar semantics in the intensional case.
Unless I've not understood your question correctly (sometimes people mean different things by the distinction between intensional and extensional), then I think the answer is: the semantics for W-types in intensional type theory are exactly the same as the semantics for W-types in extensional type theory.
A model of type theory (comprehension category, category with attributes, et cetera) is essentially just a Grothendieck fibration $p:E\to B$ which comes equipped with certain structure. Being a model of W-types just means that $p$ comes equipped with certain extra structure. As I understand it, the difference between intensional and extensional type theory has to do with which axioms are satisfied by the identity types. (In terms of $p$ this is just whether it is equipped with one or another kind of structure for interpreting identity types.) Whether or not you are able to interpret W-types is again simply a question of whether $p$ has a further kind of additional structure and is a prior independent of which kind of identity types $p$ is able to interpret.
In practical terms, what this means is that the question of whether your model supports the interpretation of W-types has everything to do with your fibration $p$ and formulated in this way the question is completely independent of whether the model is intensional or extensional. E.g., if your fibration $p$ comes from something like a class of display maps and you want to interpret W-types as initial algebras for polynomial endofunctors, then you will need to verify that these initial algebras land in the class of display maps.

The Delaware Tribe of Indians is considering moving the tribe's headquarters from Oklahoma to Kansas.
Dee Ketchum, a former chief of the tribe, says it is looking for property in Kansas, focusing on Leavenworth and Wyandotte counties. He met with Leavenworth city officials last week.
Ketchum says the tribe is not looking for land for a new reservation. It could use the new headquarters for several things, such as health care, housing and child care.
The Leavenworth Times reports Ketchum acknowledged that gaming could be part of an economic development effort.
He says the move is being considered because of restrictions the Delaware Tribe faces at its current location, which is in the jurisdiction of another tribe.
The Delaware Tribe of Indians has about 10,500 members.

Another sign that the economy appears to be recovering is that there are now more job opportunities for college graduates then in recent years, says CU-Boulder Career Services Director Lisa Severy.
Job prospects for college graduates
May 7, 2012 Lisa Severy
Another sign that the economy appears to be recovering is that there are now more job opportunities for college graduates then in recent years, says CU-Boulder Career Services Director Lisa Severy.
CUT 1 "So for the class of 2010 we saw about a 9 percent increase in the number of jobs we've posted. For 2011 it was a 23 percent increase from the year before. So we won't have our numbers until the middle of the summer but we're probably on pace to do that number again." (:20)
Severy says that although the job market isn't fully recovered the struggle now is to get students aware of the many job opportunities available.
CUT 2 "So in terms of the number of opportunities, you know right now we have hundreds of jobs on the site that's open, and some of them get only a few applicants. So our biggest challenge right now, I think, is to let students know we have a lot of opportunities to look through and really engage in that and really see that employers are looking for all different types of majors and all different types of experience and it's really a good time to come and take advantage of all that." (:32)
One of the biggest concerns amongst recent graduates is the relevancy of their majors. Severy says many wonder if their major is too broad for many employers.
CUT 3 "The number one major that gets clicked on our Career Services Online CSO system is 'any.' So those employers don't care at all. They know that if someone has been admitted to the University of Colorado and is successful here and graduates, they're looking at a talented, skilled person that can be trained." (:24)
In terms of industries that are thriving now, Severy lists a variety, all of which are looking to hire new job prospects.
CUT 4 "I mean the technical people who need technical support are looking for computer science and engineering type positions. (8:00) General corporate things tend to have a lot of action. Media companies are tending to come back right now. (:16) Because of our aging population health care is a growth industry." (:20)
In addition to these more traditional jobs, Severy notes that in recent years new industries are bringing in new jobs that are perfect for the younger generation of employees.
CUT 5 "The good news for new college grads is they tend to be jobs that are suited for college grads. I think a good example of that is social-media-specialist. I think that we posted about 67 times last year. It was a job that wasn't even in our system 5 years ago. (:16) Students have been doing that forever. They're native speakers of social media." (:22)
One of the most asked question Severy gets from students is "What can I do to have the best chance of getting a job?" Severy says there are a lot of things students can do to be as prepared as possible for entering the employment world.
CUT 6 "Getting more information about what's available and what's out there and then coming up with a mechanism for branding yourself. So this is what I have to offer and here are my top ten strengths and here is how I think it is going to fit in your organization. (:16) If you can articulate that to your network and also to employers then you don't have to answer the question of "oh what can an x, y, z major do for me?" (:27)
Although Severy won't get complete job prospect statistics until the summer, she feels confident that as long as students take advantage of the opportunities available, finding a job won't be as hard as some may think!

Let $0< \alpha< n$, $1 < p < q < \infty$ and $\frac{1}{q}=\frac{1}{p}-\frac{\alpha}{n}$. Then: $ \left \| \int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \frac{f(y)dy}{|x-y|^{n-\alpha} } \right\|_{L^q(\mathbb{R}^n)}\leq$ $C\left\| f\right\| _{L^p(\mathbb{R^n})}$.
This is the standard Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality(or the theorem of fractional integration).A more direct approach is write $$ \int{f(x-y)|y|^{\alpha-n}dy}=\int_{|y|<R}+\int_{|y|\ge R} $$ For the second term on the RHS,using Holder inequality,and easy to see that it's dominated by $\|f\|_{L^p}R^{-\frac{q}{n}}$. For the first term,one can use the majorizationgiven by the maximal function M,and to see that $$ |f\ast |y|^{\alpha-n}|(x)\leq C(M(f)(x)\cdot R^{\alpha}+\|f\|_{L^p}\cdot R^{-\frac{q}{n}}) $$ Choosing a proper constant R to make the two terms above be equal,and then the desired inequality hold by intergration(note that the maximal operator is bounded on $L^p$ for $1<p<\infty$).
The function $\vert x\vert^{\alpha-n}$ is radial homogeneous of degree $\alpha-n$, so its Fourier transform is radial homogeneous of degree $-(\alpha-n)-n=-\alpha$ (both locally integrable since $\alpha >0$ and $-\alpha>-n$ so both are distributions which are easily seen as temperate: Fourier transforms make sense), so your convolution operator is in fact the Fourier multiplier $\vert D_x\vert^{-\alpha}$. The question at hand is thus (with homogeneous spaces) $$ \Vert u\Vert_{W^{-\alpha,q}}\lesssim \Vert u\Vert_{W^{0,p}},\quad \text{i.e. }W^{0,p}\subset W^{-\alpha,q}, $$ which is a particular case of Sobolev injection since $$0>-\alpha,\quad p < q,\quad \frac{1}{p}-\frac{1}{q}=\frac{\alpha}{n}. $$

This App Uses The Power Of You To Report The Weather
If you love to talk about the weather — or want to help collect information about it — a new smartphone app may be for you.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the University of Oklahoma are giving regular folks an opportunity to fiddle with weather reporting. Using crowdsourcing, the mobile Precipitation Identification Near the Ground app collects geographic, winter precipitation data from users. The mPING app also links to a map showing weather reports sent in by locals.
The data collected by the app will help weather officials program radar to determine exactly what's falling near you. For example, is it hail or mixed rain?
The free app is currently available for the iOS and Android operating systems.
Users anonymously update reports by selecting a variation of winter weather between "none" and "graupel/snow grains,"* their GPS location is noted, and information is sent in to NOAA. (It can also be done through NOAA's website, but an extra step of figuring out your longitude and latitude has to be completed.)
"The purpose of PING is to give us ground observations of precipitation types that are not well observed from automatic systems," Kim Elmore, a science researcher working on the project, told All Things Considered. He says the gathered information will be used to build algorithms for newly upgraded radars.
The data can also help officials and the public prepare for severe weather, he says.
"If we can better marshal our resources for dealing with it, then it may not cost quite so much and people may not be in quite such jeopardy," Elmore says. Throwing salt, buying sand, fixing wires and removing fallen trees can be constant expenses, he adds.
mPING is just the latest weather app to use crowdsourcing. Others include Weddar, which asks users to add a colorful description of the weather; and Metwit, a hyperlocal app that lets you pin photos to your weather reporting.
The app had a "soft launch" in December, but it has already become popular.
Elmore estimates about 20,000 people have downloaded the app and nearly 60,000 reports have been submitted. The project itself has been around since 2006, using different methods like cold-calling to verify falling precipitation.
Much of its popularity may come from the high level of interest in weather and science, Elmore says. The "real hook" is the data readily available for people to view on their phones.
So this app may not break the ice for your weather forecasting career, but it may someday help your local weatherman have an accurate picture of what's going on outside your window.
* In case you're wondering, NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory says graupel (aka soft hail or snow pellets) are "soft small pellets of ice created when supercooled water droplets coat a snowflake."

Workshops for Parents of High-School Students
Q: I work with low-income high school students in an urban setting. I want to find training or workshops in college prep, financial aid, at-home motivation, reading, and more for their parents. Do you have any suggestions?
A: Having trainings and workshops for parents is such a good idea -- it involves parents in their children's lives during such a stressful time and helps them assist their children. If you are able, my advice is to call the local high schools in the area and gather information about everything you want them to learn. Financial-aid programs, in particular, will have a lot of useful information. See if the schools already have programs, and if not, inquire about setting one up yourself. See if the students and their parents would be willing to help. Send out flyers with these students to find out what type of reception your programs will have in your community. Although it may take a little bit of time to put together, this is definitely worthwhile and will be appreciated by both the students and their parents.

text: Vogue Shops Trends A to Z 08 March 2012 Dolly Jones IF it was a season of goodbyes - Raf Simons from Jil Sander and Stefano Pilati from Yves Saint Laurent - it was as much about returns and beginning again: Jil Sander to Jil Sander and Hedi Slimane to YSL where he was in charge of menswear more than a decade ago. But despite the rumblings of designer movements and the grumblings of those that disapprove of designers being cast as pawns in the higher echelons of fashion politics, it was also a celebratory season of brilliant designers doing what they do best even better than ever: Stella, Sarah Burton, Marc Jacobs, Rodarte, Victoria Beckham, Phoebe Philo, Christopher Kane, Erdem, Mary Katrantzou - even Bill Gaytten is being heaped with praise for his work at Dior and Claire Waight Keller's second go at Chloe went down rather better than before. From the big guns to those newer to the game, it's clear that in spite of wrangling and recession, fashion continues to inspire and explode with ideas and the promise of success.READ OUR A-TO-Z GUIDE TO THE SEASONSo how will all that play its way into your wardrobe next winter? Here's the A-to-Z checklist we promise every season so you're armed and ready when it comes to autumn/winter 2012-13, be it names to drop, accessories to covet or the colour to start injecting into your safe separates now to keep you on the cutting edge.In short, you can play safe with shapes - utilitarian, military-inspired and plenty covered up. But where that could be austere, next winter it will be played out in the richest and most ornate fabrics - velvet, jacquard, lace, damask, embellishment - so don't hold back. Stella McCartney's Team GB set up is leading a sportswear revolution too for those for whom brocade is a dirty word.If you buy one thing, buy a hat - a big floppy one preferably. Bring out your best leathers and prepare them to take on a new season and, if you're feeling nostalgic a touch of glam rock will do no harm. If budgets are tight but you still want cutting edge statements, take Stella's lead and get back into bright blue mascara. Shoes? Mary Janes - wear them sparkly and wear them high. Add a skater skirt, a swathe of tweed, some Perspex heels and a pair of what we're now calling investment trousers (more of that in the A to Z) and layer up your look with trousers under a skirt under a coat with a cape on top. Oh, and wear your trousers a little shorter than before, as a rule.Sound complicated? See our step-by-step A-to-Z guide to autumn/winter 2012-13 here.SEE THE AUTUMN/WINTER 2012-13 TRENDS TO KNOW

I realize this is a pretty minor thing but anyway. I'm adding comment support to my website/blog. I'm trying to decide if I want the comments to be sorted from oldest to newest or from newest to oldest. Which one generally makes more sense, or does it even matter?
I prefer comments to be in chronological order and threaded.
That way, when comments turn into conversations - and they often do, those are easy to follow. Any other order of comments makes it impossible, or at least very hard.
Newest on top means you have to go down to see what is being responded to. And if you decide to start at the bottom, you are continually switching between scrolling up (newer comment) and down (within a comment) to read what was going on between a couple of posters.
Sorting by relevance really messes up conversations. Plus: how is relevance being computed? May not be the reader's interpretation of what comments are relevant.
Conversations should really always be threaded to make them easier to follow. When you turn on threaded conversations, newest or oldest on top becomes less important, though you should still account for people responding to an older comment without using the "reply" option. Which is how I arrived at my preference: threaded conversations and oldest on top.
It's a tradeoff. Chronological order is better for readability of threads, worse for diminishing the value of comments from latecomers, and for enabling early-bird campers to permanently stamp their agenda on the page.
For a small blog, that xkcd issue is unlikely to be a problem (unless it's an issue that attracts fanboys) - but you can get in the situation (common on tech/specialist blogs) where a popular post has a relevant, important comment like "This has since changed, it's now [new thing]" buried never to be seen under 50 "Wow, thanks!" comments - and where newcomers with valuable comments to make will be unlikely to bother posting them because they can see that their comment will never be seen.
Here are some good compromise options I've seen:
In case they update their design, here's an example of the FastCo comments threading to illustrate how delicate Facebook-style threading can be.
In a blog, like in this stackexchange site, there are answers to the post and answers to the answers.
I would say the ideal option would be on the basis of the relevance of your comments (but I am not sure if your blog or any blog supports a feature to make a comment as useful or relevant).
However I would recommend going by newest comments first since the comments would be more in sync with the updates made to the blog post if any or in response to the questions or points raised by users in previous comments.
I would suggest the old to new as top to bottom.

1) I want to attach a database from my development server to my production server.
The database
ESpiceHerbs from my development server is located at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL10_50.SQLEXPRESS\MSSQL\DATA
2) When I log in using my production server credentials and right click on the
Databases folder in
Object Explorer and select
Attach Databases and click
Add, I cannot find it there! :(
3) I am really confused as to why it cannot be located although its pointing to the same folder.
Could it be because the development server is running on 32 bit and the production server is running on 64 bit?

I'm not particularly offended by Fred's postings. As I see it constant criticism is no more tiring than constant fanboyism. He does post informative and helpful things too. The quarrels can be tiring at times but I'm still drawn to these threads to watch the carnage As much as I like my MFD tech camera I'm not particularly fond of the way the digital medium format industry works. There's good and there's bad, and indeed the quality level of smaller formats is now so high and the MFD cost level is still the same that it's becoming increasingly difficult to find rational reasons to shoot MFD. I have a few and they suffice for me so far, but I think it would be possible to make it a bit more easy to be a MFD photographer than it is today.Key to that is the MFD companies actually want to reach more customers in new markets and sell more products, with some more mass-market thinking we could get products with lower pricing that are easier to support. I think they should look more into the market of advanced amateurs, not just rich amateurs. There one can find a mass-market. It seems like there's a move in the opposite direction though, into industrial, reproduction and scientific photography, which is a great market to be in if you want to sell low amounts of something really expensive that require lots of support
Two views of the same thing: one is from the consumer viewpoint, the other more aware of the maker's view. Given the small number of units actually made, I consider us just plain old lucky to have the options we have. Imagine if they were all to pack up and go home.... Both views are valid, but in the interest of civilty, its useful to recognize the shortcomings of each: the consumer viewpoint wonders why these companies don't adjust more rapidly with the times, and meet possibly emerging markets, discount to raise market share, and provide what seem to be reasonable conveniences. The "makers view" recognizes the limited support capabilities of these smaller companies, the important role of a dealership struggle, and frankly put, will accept some deficiencies in their affection for the product line. They can also (sometimes) veer into apologists for the company, although folks have been pretty circumspect on this forum. Those that are interested in bashing or pushing their point of view repeatedly to the exclusion of others are (IMHO) not doing any of us a service, much less themselves. Like someone said, imagine saying what you wrote on the 'net to someone's face: is that how you want it to be heard? While a bit of carnage, or even bloodsport, can be healthy to knock folks off pedestals, done repeatedly its a disservice to the community.
Two views of the same thing:
Well put. I have a principle to not participate in quarrels or make personal attacks regardless. If it gets too ugly, I just walk away, or start talking about something else .They're selling a very very expensive product. With that comes a huge responsibility which should not be taken lightly. If a customer gets support issues with that kind of money involved there's a high risk that the customer becomes pretty aggressive.
Somebody express his-her opinions one 2 or 3 time and that's it. We know what the person thinks, we got the points. What's the need of more and more of the same?
If you actually take the time to think about this, the answer is obvious.
Next time someone comes into this forum to ask for some advice, how about we help them out without going "oh god not that shit again" and without taking potshots at individuals simply because we're bored of what they have to say, or because we already know what their opinions are? The OP clearly hasn't seen it all before, because if they had, they wouldn't need to ask the question in the first place.Is it really that difficult?If you don't want to see Fred's advice to someone who is asking a question that has already been answered countless times before, why on Earth do you even bother to read the thread?
maybe it would be good to shift this discussion about who should do and say what to the coffee corner so the rest of us can continue the discussion about equipment techniques > medium format /film /digital backs - and large sensor photography.
maybe it would be good to shift this discussion about who should do and say what to the coffee corner...
And a note to Gerald;
...The answer is this:1. Many different people come here and ask the same questions again and again.2. Pretty much the same individuals provide answers to those questions. And of course, they're going to be the same answers from the same individuals. Again and again....
I had a stamp collection a long time ago but I transitioned to etchings ...
Now there's an idea. The Coffee Corner is a war zone complete with its own mafia bosses so it isn't as if the shift would do any further harm.
Now that's life through blinkers, Keith.
Rob, quite possibly, but surely preferable to a virtual life.

I was trying to obtain maximum zoom level ( level 22) for Google street map using Openlayers.layer.google script.
The following code does not seem to work.It works to the maximum zoom level when Var zoom is set to 15. below or above 15, it set centre to world extent.
Any idea what went wrong ? we tried using Google maps API v2 and v3 , same result for Maxm zoom, except for value = 15.
var position = new OpenLayers.LonLat(lon, lat).transform(fromProjection, toProjection); var zoom = 22; map.setCenter(position, zoom);
