A goal every other game is ok, with a 7 avg in the league. Hopefully my injuries are behind me now and I can kick on next season with Vitesse.
Woop top of the leaderboard, worried some big club is gona go in for me now and ruin the fine form! Great updates mate as usual! The dream is for the Bahamas to make the world cup.. may keep dreaming i think ^^
Agree with everyone else fantastic updates mate. I hope I can get a permanent move away from City soon!
Hope I get more playtime! Love the frequent updates, keep it up.
Wooohoo finally looks like Radakovic might get somewhere now 16 goals in 12(18) is a brilliant season now to build up and smash the whole Serie A.
2 from the top and went to the world cup! Nice.
So, after scoring 4 goals in 5 games for Chile they don't even give me so much as a sub appearance in any of the world cup games . No wonder they only scored 1 goal.
Chilean young player of the year for 2 years running though
I'm not happy that I'm now happy to be at the club Need to show a bit of ambition and request a move.Simone Finke - Not a good season for Simone with just 1(6) games all season and no goals. Despite that, he is happy to play for the club. Napoli couldn't retain the title and finished in 7th.
The fans love me.
here, was just strange that it was the same surname and both in favourites.
very happy how things are going for me top goal score in the spl
Seen it now, possible to get screenies of this Shane Cooper, CB?
Sure, here you go. Not very good really
I'm convinced he won't make it at PL level, maybe in the lower leagues with determination and physicals for a 17 year old.
hmmm not to happy with my performance in turkey wehey Captain of the u21 South Korea team but booooo!!! didnt get a call up to the world cup
Very happy to be scoring in the games I am getting at Real, but I'm dropping back off the pace again and if I don't start making a mark soon I may never catch up
As expected, McIllmurray Jr. on the decline. Last year of his contract, kinda eager to see what he'll do. Also first 2 caps for the national team with a goal, nice one Was that goal counted in the total though? I'm asking because I didn't see you mention it, just saw it from the screenshot.
It did count yes, i thought i'd already mentioned it though, turns out i didn't.
Why does my guy want to leave when he is getting starts in a top tier league?
Jamie O'Connor definitely needs to get out on loan!
September 2014
Nick Adam - No more goals yet for Nick but he has played in the first game of the season, hopefully even more by the end of the season. Is enjoying playing for Roma.
Bakra - Has returned from the dreaded Knee Tendonitis and is now ready to play again. No games yet though as he's only just come back. Could make his Holland debut in a friendly against Israel.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Jimmio scored 2 goals in 3 games for NAC before leaving Holland for Portugal to join FC Porto for £8m. 1 game played for his new club without a goal so far.
Rocky Brittus - Started the season well for Vitesse after 2 fairly average seasons already. 3 goals from 3 games so far and he is enjoying playing for the club.
Chopper - Chopper has left his home country and moved to Italy where he'll play for Palermo. He ended his last season at Colo Colo with 11 goals in 21(1) games and is now on 50 career goals.
Matthew Cooper - Matthew has played 3 games for Fulham so far in the new season and got himself 1 goal. Is enjoying playing for the club and thinks Sekou Oliseh is a good player.
Josh Crane - Was released by TNS for some reason and spent some time on Trial at Wigan before moving onto Leicester City, who are in the Premier League. He's played 3 games for his new club and scored 2 goals.
Whoopski Deeski - Has been sent out on loan away from Liverpool to join Werder Bremen for the season. So far he's just had the 1 sub appearance for the German side without a goal.
Edmond Doustourian - Has started the new season with Dnipro brilliantly with 9 goals scored from 12 games. 4 of those goals coming in the Europa League, helping them qualify for the groups.
Jimmy Eastwood - Has recovered from his broken leg and has made 1 sub appearance so far this season without a goal, hopefully he can still find the net. Is happy playing for the club.
Simone Finke - Not looking too good for Simone with no games played yet, but the league have only played 1, so is still in with a chance. Feels Edinson Cavani is a vital part of the team.
Ben Goldsmith - Ben has started the new season in the Premier League with 1 goal in his first 3 games. He will have to keep it up all season if Bristol are to have a chance at staying up.
Alejandro Hernandez - Is still with Xerez and has 1 goal already from 2 games played in the new season. Is enjoying playing for the club and pleased to be playing alongside Felipe Gutierrez.
Jack Jacobs - Jack is back from the World Cup and has started the new season well with 5 goals from 6 games. 3 of the goals helping West Brom qualify for the Europa League group stages.
Arie Kanarie - Another player back from the World Cup and starting the season well. 5 goals scored for Groningen already from 7 games played. Thinks Darko Lazovic is a good player.
Igor Kesina - A very good start for Igor with 7 goals from 5 first team games for Lille. Has been picked for the Croatia first team and could make his debut against England in a friendly.
David Le Soire - Back from the World Cup although he only made 1 appearance, but he's forgotten that now and has scored 9 goals in 11 games so far for Zurich and he takes top spot but only by 2 goals.
Aidan LFC - Aidan has started the new season well for Bolton, scoring 4 goals in his first 6 games. Will be hoping for plenty more as Bolton look to go straight back into the Premier League.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Has left Turkey already after a poor season and has joined Lyon, possibly as a replacement for Mathew Schneider. Is in the reserve team and has scored 1 goal in 2 games.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - A pretty good start for Jason from just 2 sub appearances, scoring 3 goals. Hopefully the manager will give Jason more chances this season. Has 1 goal in 1 games for the Reserves too.
Josh McLachlan - Is now one of the main strikers after Thomas Weir left the club and he's stepping up to it well with 12 goals scored in just 7 games. Has also got his first goals for Scotland.
Silvio Mella - Has played 3 games for the first team and scored 1 goal so far. Hopefully he'll be a regular now too as he hasn't played any reserve team games yet. PSG DM/MC/AMC/ST Kim Jung-Woo is in his favourites.
Des Morgan - No games yet for Des this season but plenty of games to go yet. Genoa reserve player Andre Senghor is in his favourites. Is optimistic about his future with the club.
Jamie O'Connor - Seems like he's staying at Spurs again and he's unhappy about it, he wants first team football and wants to leave the club. He has made 1 sub appearance though, without a goal.
Kwesi Owusu - Is in the Chelsea reserves and listed for loan so might not be making many appearances this season. However he has played 1 cup game so far and scored 1 goal for the club.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Stayed with Atlas and has already scored 7 goals in 8 games for the club. Unfortunately he's fractured his cheekbone, keeping him out of action for up to 3 weeks.
Aleksander Radakovic - Has made 4 sub appearances for Lazio so far this season and got himself 2 goals, getting him further away from the bottom. Has made 2 appearances for Serbia now, without a goal.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - Has started 4 games for Stoke so far this season and got himself 1 goal. Hopefully the 4 starts already means he'll be a regular this season. Is enjoying playing for the club.
Jack Ripper - Back from the World Cup and playing for Barcelona again. Just 2(1) games for the Spanish side without a goal so far this season. Is now worth £22m and is the most expensive of our players.
Mathew Schneider - Has left Lyon having been unhappy there despite playing quite often. He's gone to Spain to play for Valencia, where he has already got himself 2 goals from 3 first team starts.
Stuart Shaw - A good start to the new season for Stuart with 3 goals scored from 5 games. Current Scotland manager Malky Mackay must be blind not to have given Stuart his first Scotland cap.
Murt Shepard - It looks like it'll be another season sitting in the reserves for Murt. He has made 1 sub appearance in the league already though and 1 start in the cup, unfortunately without a goal.
Cristian Sirera - Cristian has left America having scored 7 goals in 10 games in his last season for Chicago Fire. He's joined up with Chopper at Palermo for £10.25m. Hasn't made any appearances for his new team just yet.
Tom Skull - Is back at Man City and straight into the reserve team, but has made 1 sub appearance without a goal so far. He is listed for loan and will be hopeful that a team will loan him come February.
Mario Spehar - Mario is in the first team still but without any games or goals yet this season. He is optimistic about his future at the club and feels Cristiano Ronaldo is a vital part of the team.
Jordan Swinburn - It's looking like Jordan won't be playing much again this season, but we can't be sure with just 1 game played in the league. For some reason Jordan has signed a new 3 year contract with Napoli.
The Mad Scot - Has started the new season with Celtic very well with 10 goals scored from 9 games. 8 of those goals have helped Celtic reach the Champions League group stage. Is happy playing for the club.
Thomas Weir - Thomas has left Scotland for England and is now a Chelsea player after they paid £11.25m for him. He's already played 3 games and got himself 3 goals for his new club.
White Widow - Has been knocked off the top spot, but only by 2 goals. He's scored 4 goals himself so far this season from 7 games, hoping to take Lorient a bit further than last season. Scored another goal for the Bahamas too.
Feliciano Zambrano Teles - Has started the new season with Atletico fairly well with 4 goals scored in 1(2) games. Has mainly played in Europe so far, but will be hopeful for more first team league starts.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - NAC Breda to FC Porto for £8m
Chopper - Colo Colo to Palermo for £4m
Josh Crane - TNS to Wigan on Trial then Free to Leicester City
Whoopski Deeski - Liverpool to Werder Bremen on Loan
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Gaziantepspor to Lyon for £5.75m
Mathew Schneider - Lyon to Valencia for £9.25m

*2 Goals before the game started.
Players that aren't scoring, remember you're still only 19, probably have another 15 or so more seasons to score plenty
Really starting to find my form now.
From the experiences of seeing my strikers scoring, the qualifying rounds of Europe can be a gold mine of goals.
sad to leave my boyhod club but happy to go to chelsea
Glad to be back from injury. Cool to see that 2 players are now teammates at Palermo
At this rate I'll probably make a career in the Man City Reserves! I need a permanent move!
£8 million transfer to Porto, can't be sniffed at. Bowmanaggio will be tearing up the Portuguese League
May have took 3 pages, but I've finally found this has started! Excited, even if I've only scored one. Suppose I always had a hard time picking Napoli, though I picked them over favoured club Man City. Good to see that Lavezzi is a favoured personnel. Nice that although unhappy, I stayed loyal.
Well hopefully my move to Germany proves to be a good one, no point if I'm just gonna sit on the bench though.
Holidaying while i'm off to the dentist, so might have an update for you before 12pm, depends how long it takes me to walk 3/4 miles.
Palermo picking up 2 of us in the transfer window. Competition time!
Looks like me and Swinburn are stuck playing i-spy on the bench for a while longer. Manager needs to shape up and go with a 3 man attack. Me, Swinburn and Cavani would tear up the league.
Good update as usual Charles
4 goals for McIllmurray Jr. in just 2 subs & a reserve game. Here's hoping he gets some playing time now or gets a good goal ratio to get a transfer out when his contract was running out, assuming he didn't sign a new one
2 players have now scored 100+ goals, just need to find out who got their 100th first
Still doing crap, can I move yet?
Unfortunately not, you'll have to just wait and see what happens.
Have been a bit distracted by things so not started doing the update yet, should hopefully start around 4pm when it starts getting dark.
Seems that I am doing very well, when will Man U come calling?
Jesus, my butt must be numb on that bench haha.
I'm hungry for another update, want Mella to be climbing the leaderboard rapidly soon!
It's coming, it's coming, just slowly :P should be up before 6 though
February 2015
Nick Adam - Nick has scored 4 goals in 13(2) games so far for Roma, not too good really, but goals are goals. He's also got himself 4 more goals for Australia and is 5 goals away from 50 career goals.
Bakra - Is playing well for Feyenoord once again with 11 goals scored from 18 games played, 9 more goals to beat his best for a season. Is now over 50 career goals and has his first cap and goal for Holland against Australia.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Jimmio seems to have fit in nicely at Porto with 10 goals being scored in 16 games. Is enjoying playing for the club and thinks Marouane Fellaini is a vital part of the team.
Rocky Brittus - A very similar scene here, a couple of injuries stopping him from playing and not too many goals, just 6 from 11(3) games. He's currently injured with a broken cheekbone and will return in 3 weeks.
Chopper - Following his move to Palermo, he hasn't really been given much chance to play, with just 2(2) games played so far and 1 goal scored. Is unsettled. Has scored 1 more goal for Chile.
Matthew Cooper - Is having a pretty good season with Fulham so far with 14 goals scored from 26 games. Is classed as a wonderkid. Needs 15 more goals to reach 100 career goals, might be next season now.
Josh Crane - Josh hasn't really fit straight in to life in England with just 8 goals scored in 17(1) games for Leicester. Marvin Emnes and Joel Campbell are keeping him out of the team at the minute.
Whoopski Deeski - Is having a good season on loan in Germany, although he hasn't played too many games. He's played 13(7) so far and got himself 9 goals. Looks like he'll be heading back to Liverpool at the end of the season, with no fee agreed.
Edmond Doustourian - Still playing well for Dnipro and has 16 goals now from 24 games played. Dnipro are doing well too, they'll be playing Chopper and Cristian Sirera's Palermo in the Euro 2nd round and are 2nd in the league.
Jimmy Eastwood - Jimmy isn't having the best of seasons really with just 7 goals scored from 15(3) games for PSV. He's also currently injured and will return from his twisted knee in 8-12 days.
Simone Finke - Not looking good for the German, he hasn't scored any goals this season meaning over 2 years without a goal. He is rightfully unhappy and has made it public that he wants to leave the club.
Ben Goldsmith - Not going too well for Ben again in the Premier League, but 6 goals from 15(4) isn't too bad for a side that are struggling. Is pleased to be playing alongside Pajtim Kasami.
Alejandro Hernandez - Is having a very good season once again for Xerez with 18 goals scored from 23 games, 17 of those in the league, just 1 goal behind top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo.
Jack Jacobs - What a season he's having, 27 goals so far in 34(1) games. Is now on exactly 100 career goals and is also joint top scorer in the Europa League at present, still more games to go though.
Arie Kanarie - Is playing well for Groningen once again and is now just 11 goals away from 100 career goals. He's scored 14 so far this season from 28(1) games, plenty to go too.
Igor Kesina - A big difference from his first few seasons at Lille. Clearly having his best season for the French team with 17 goals scored in 22(1) games. He's also got himself 4 goals in 2 games for Croatia.
David Le Soire - Season is going pretty well for David with 16 goals scored in 25 games so far. He missed a couple of games in the new year with a fractured arm but is already back, ready to play. Needs 4 goals for 100.
Aidan LFC - Aidan is having a much better season so far, with 23 goals scored in 30(1) games for Bolton. Bolton look like they'll be going straight back to the Premier league.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Hasn't played many games yet for Lyon, just 2 sub appearances for the first team without a goal and 6 reserve games with 7 goals scored. Unfortunately he's broken his leg and can't play for 4 more months.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Jason played 1 games for Marseille reserves with 1 goal scored and has played 3(7) for the first team with 5 goals. He was probably hoping for more. 1 more goal for N.Ireland too.
Josh McLachlan - Is probably glad that Thomas Weir left as he's had a great season so far. He's got himself 25 goals so far from 29(1) games. He's enjoying playing for the club.
Silvio Mella - Has played 1 game for the reserves with 3 goals scored, but has spent more time in the first team with 11 goals being scored in 12(8) games. He's also got himself 5 more goals for Malta and has over 50 career goals.
Des Morgan - Des is struggling to find the net at Genoa, but to be fair he isn't getting many chances. Just 3 first team starts and 8 sub appearances so far this season. Slowly slipping down the leaderboard.
Jamie O'Connor - Jamie has played 3(4) games for Spurs so far this season and got himself 1 goal. Really though, he needs to be going out on loan somewhere for more first team experience.
Kwesi Owusu - Is in the Chelsea reserves and has only had 3(2) games for the first team so far with 2 goals scored. He is another player that needs to be out on loan somewhere. Is learning from Fernando Torres, again?
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Having a very good season again for Atlas with 18 goals scored in 21 games for the club. He's also got himself 7 more goals for Jamaica, who won the Caribbean Championship.
Aleksander Radakovic - Is having an even better season than the last with 17 goals already for Lazio in 12(11) games. He is currently out with fractures ribs and should return within 2 weeks.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - Is getting plenty of games for Stoke, but hasn't been able to find the net often. 20(3) games played and just 6 goals for the Icelandic striker. Has signed a new 2 year contract.
Jack Ripper - Jack is playing well for Barcelona when he is getting given games. 20(3) games played so far and 12 goals scored. He's also carrying on his good England career with 3 more goals.
Mathew Schneider - Has started his Valencia career well with 17 goals for the club from 28 games. He's got 9 in the league and 8 in the Europa League and he's currently 2nd top scorer in the competition.
Stuart Shaw - Stuart is once again having a brilliant season. He's got himself 20 goals so far for Everton from 31 games. He has spent the last 4 weeks out with a hernia and has 2 more weeks to go. 1 more goal til he reaches 100.
Murt Shepard - Murt has played 3(7) games for the first team so far this season but is still in the reserves. He is also listed for loan but no team are currently interested in taking him on. Has his first Ireland cap.
Cristian Sirera - Has started off his Palermo career well with 10 goals scored in 14(5) games. Is enjoying playing for the club and Abel Hernandez is currently in his favourites.
Tom Skull - Will be surprised to know he's played 7(7) games for the Man City first team and got himself 7 goals. He's unhappy though and want's to leave. He could be off to Liverpool as they are interested.
Mario Spehar - Mario again isn't playing very often but has played well with 5 goals scored from 5(5) games for the first team. Mesut Ozil is in his favourites and Mario is optimistic about his future at the club.
Jordan Swinburn - Jordan is finally getting more game time, it's only 3(5) appearances though but he's also got himself 2 more goals. Jordan is optimistic about his future with Napoli too.
The Mad Scot - Another good season so far for The Mad Scot with 17 goals scored in 24(2) games for Celtic, although 9 of those goals were scored in the Champions League, which they were knocked out of in the groups.
Thomas Weir - Thomas has fit in well with Chelsea and has got himself 17 goals from 23 games so far. Should probably be part of the Scotland main team by now, but he's just happy playing in the U-21 side. Needs 5 goals to reach 100.
White Widow - What a season he's having, it's been helped by a lot of goals for the Bahamas though. He's got 16 in 26 for Lorient so far and 17 goals in just 11 for Bahamas. He's now on 26 in 20 for his country. Reach 100 goals first and is now 12 goals ahead of the rest.
Feliciano Zambrano Teles - Is playing pretty well for Atletico with 10 goals in 11(7) games so far this season. Feliciano is happy playing for the club and Falcao is now in his favourites.
Tom Skull - Liverpool

*2 Goals before the game started.
Slowly slipping down the leaderboard? Are you trying to be funny CB. I've been at the bottom and haven't moved for about three updates.
Got to follow it through with a transfer request. Need to take one step back to move forward now. Drop down a league or two and get confidence back before securing a big move to a big club who appreciates me.Simone Finke - Not looking good for the German, he hasn't scored any goals this season meaning over 2 years without a goal. He is rightfully unhappy and has made it public that he wants to leave the club.
Wow finally getting some first team action for City! Still wouldn't mind going to Liverpool though, less competition for a starting place there.
Caribbean master at work!
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell is slowly climbing up the leaderboard...
Pleased with where my guy stands, almost as much goals as Ronaldo! Glad to still be at Xerez, getting plenty of games and goals
C'mon time to hit the frame boy!
Not performing too badly atm, good news that I'm classed as a wonderkid, might attract some attention from elsewhere though.
Holidaying again so MIGHT have an end of season update tonight.
Woo! Glad to be getting a bit more game time, but I feel sorry for Finke!Jordan Swinburn - Jordan is finally getting more game time, it's only 3(5) appearances though but he's also got himself 2 more goals. Jordan is optimistic about his future with Napoli too.
Time for a move away from Chelsea
A bit annoyed with myself for missing out on this, not sure how I didn't see it. Any chance I can join in as a regen now or when other players retire and start over?
Is my injury proneness rating through the roof? Can that rating go up over a career? I seem to have been injured in every report so far.
Oh ffs Broken leg you have to be kidding why the hell didn't he stay in Turkey Greedy barsteward
Wow, went to Spain and have been doing great, a slow start has been completely nullified as I'm really starting to score at will.
Working on the end of season update now, so many goals scored considering the players are only just about to turn 20.
Looking forward to it Charlesbeams. Your rate of updates is incredible, really builds the momentum of the sign up!
I'm hoping Doustourian will have picked up a few of those goals to power Dnipro past Palermo!
Thanks. I'm trying to get as many done as i can before i go back to "work" just voluntary stuff, but i'm away from the computer more often than usual, so there'd be slightly less updates, but still 1 a day i reckon.
It definitely helps that i can just leave it running though, if i'm doing something else.
End of Season 2014/15
Nick Adam - Nick had a good season for Roma, scoring 14 goals in 25(3) games. He seems to be a regular for Australia now too with 6 goals scored in 7 over the season. Roma had a better season and finished 7th.
Bakra - Had a good season again but could have been better if he hadn't been kept out for 5 weeks towards the end of the season with injuries. He scored 16 from 25 games and Feyenoord finished in 9th place.
Jimmio Bowmanaggio - Jimmio fit in well at Porto, scoring 13 goals from 22 games and he's caught the eye of Italy Manager Cesare Prandelli and could make his debut against Wales. Portuguese leagues aren't loaded at the minute.
Rocky Brittus - Rocky reached double figures for the first time since leaving Chelmsford. He got 11 goals from 19(5) games for Vitesse, he needs 1 goal for 50 career goals. Vitesse finished 5th in the league and got themselves a Euro place.
Chopper - Wasn't given many opportunities for Palermo in his first season, just 4(4) games overall and 1 goal scored. He got himself 6 for Chile though. Palermo ended up winning the league and were Italian Cup semi finalists.
Matthew Cooper - Another good season for Matthew with 19 goals being scored from 39 games. Fulham finished 12th in the Premier League and were also League Cup semi-finalists. Is considering his options.
Josh Crane - A pretty good season for Josh and it was very different from his seasons in Wales. He got 12 goals overall from 29(2) games. Hopefully he'll get more next season. Leicester did well and finshed 11th in the Premier League.
Whoopski Deeski - Didn't score any more goals this season for Werder and ends with 9 goals in 15(7). He'll now be heading back to Liverpool to warm up the bench again. German leagues aren't loaded at this time.
Edmond Doustourian - A great season for Edmond with 22 goals being scored in 34 games. He helped Dnipro win the Ukrainian league but unfortunately they were knocked out of the cup and Europa League. 1 more goal to reach 50.
Jimmy Eastwood - Jimmy ended the season with just 10 goals for PSV from 20(5) games played. PSV finished 3rd in the League and they won the Dutch Cup, in which Jimmy started, but couldn't find the net.
Simone Finke - Simone ended up playing just 3(5) games for Napoli and finding the net twice and is now enjoying playing for the club. Napoli ended up finishing 6th in the league and they also won the Italian Cup.
Ben Goldsmith - Ben played 29(4) games for Bristol this season and got himself 12 goals for the club. He is now transfer listed though. Has been called up for England and could make his debut soon. Bristol, as expected, were relegated.
Alejandro Hernandez - Fantastic season for Alejandro as he scores 26 goals in 39 games for Xerez. His goals helped Xerez finish 6th, getting a Europa League place. He was also joint Top Scorer with Cristiano Ronaldo, although Ronaldo played less games.
Jack Jacobs - Very good season for Jack again with 33 goals being scored for West Brom in 52(2) games. He is still goaless for England from 8 games. West Brom finished 9th in the Premier League. Was joint 3rd top scorer with Thomas Weir.
Arie Kanarie - It's another 20 goal season for Arie with 20 scored in 40(1) games. He also got 9 goals all season for Holland from 8 games. Groningen did well again and finished in 4th place. He was joint 2nd top scorer with 3 other players.
Igor Kesina - Clearly his best season yet for Lille with 23 goals being scored in 39(1) games. To top the season off he got 4 goals in 2 for Croatia all season. Lille finished 5th in the league and he was named top scorer.
David Le Soire - Brilliant season once again for David who has now scored over 100 goals just for Zurich. He got himself 34 goals this season in 43 games as Zurich won the league and his goal in the Swiss Cup Final was enough for them to win it.
Aidan LFC - Much better now for Aidan as he is playing more often. He played 38(1) games for Bolton and got himself 25 goals in the Championship. Hopefully will still be in the team now that Bolton will be back in the Premier League.
Long Tym Toon Jr. - Not a good season for him really after he moved to Lyon. He got himself 7 goals in 7 games for the reserve team, but 0 goals for the first team from just 2 sub appearances. Is hoping to go out on loan. Lyon finished 3rd and runner up of both cups.
Jason McIllmurray Jr. - Jason played just 2 games for the reserves and got himself 2 goals. He also got 7 in 9(10) for the first team as Marseille finished 2nd and won the Coupe de la Lige. He got 3 goals for N.Ireland too, helping them win the 4 Associations Tournament.
Josh McLachlan - Unfortunately Josh tore his calf muscle in Feb and didn't get any more goals, ending the season on 25 from 30(1) games. Rangers finished 2nd in the league. Josh was joint 2nd top scorer with The Mad Scot.
Silvio Mella - A great season for Silvio finally, as he scored 18 goals this season from 27(9) games for the first team, he got 3 for the reserves too. He scored 8 goals in 6 for Malta. PSG finished 4th in the league.
Des Morgan - Des is struggling for goals still with just 1 scored all season in 7(11) games, could be a lack of chances. Seems to be a first team starter now though so hopefully better to come next season. Genoa finished 11th.
Jamie O'Connor - So from needing to go out on loan, he seems to have become a first team player. He's played 16(8) games all season and got himself 13 goals. Spurs won the League and Jamie got himself a goal in the FA Cup final, which Spurs als won, 2-0.
Kwesi Owusu - Kwesi didn't play any more first team games for Chelsea and ends the season with just 2 goals from 2(3) games. He is still listed for loan, but no teams are interested. Chelsea finished 3rd and were League Cup runners up.
Quique Sanchez-Tredwell - Played 36 games for Atlas this season and got himself 27 goals before breaking his foot, keeping him out for 7 weeks already, 3 months to go. He got 8 in 8 for Jamaica too this season. Atlas finished 9th in the Opening Stage and runners up in the Closing Stage.
Aleksander Radakovic - Brilliant season for Aleksander as he passes the 50 goal mark having scored 31 goals in 27(12) for Lazio. Still looking for his first Serbia goal though. Lazio finished 13th in the league and were Italian Cup runners up.
Bjorgvin Radebe Jr. - Had a better season than the last with 12 goals scored from 32(4) games for Stoke as they just survive relegation having finished 17th in the league. Tongo Doumbia is in his favourites.
Jack Ripper - Another good season at Barcelona for Jack with 18 goals scored in 33(9) games as well as 6 goals in 7 games for England. Barcelona finished 4th in the league but won the Club World Cup, Spanish Cup and Jack scored the winner in a 1-0 win over rivals Real Madrid in the Champions League final.
Mathew Schneider - Mathew had a great first season, playing 51(1) games for Valencia and getting 26 goals for the club. His goals helped Valenica finish 2nd in the league and to win the Euro Cup. He didn't get a goal in the final but was joint top scorer with team mate Yannis Tafer, who played 1 less game.
Stuart Shaw - Stuart had a 2nd fantastic season at Everton with 31 goals scored in 48 games. He is now over 100 career goals. He finally got his first caps for Scotland, scoring 1 goal. Everton finished 7th in the league.
Murt Shepard - Had a good season considering he'd probably be expecting to be in the reserves. He got 9 goals for Arsenal from 5(8) games. Robin Van Persie is in his favourites. Arsenal finished 4th in the league and won the League Cup, Shepard was an unused sub in the final.
Cristian Sirera - A good season for Cristian and well worth the £10.5m Palermo paid. He got himself 22 goals and helped Palermo win the league. He is enjoying playing for the club. Cristian is still looking for his first Spain cap.
Tom Skull - Tom ended up playing quite a lot of games for City come the end of the season and is now seen as a rotation player. He scored 12 goals in all from 17(17) games. Man City finished 2nd in the Premier League.
Mario Spehar - Mario had a pretty good season for Real with 9 goals scored from 10(13) games played. Real Madrid won the league and were Champions League runners up. Mario made an appearance in the final, but was only given 16 minutes.
Jordan Swinburn - Jordan played 4(9) games for Napoli this season and got himself 4 goals, hopefully things will get better next season and he'll be a regular. Is enjoying playing for the club. Napoli finished 6th in the league and won the Italian Cup.
The Mad Scot - Another good season for The Mad Scot with 28 goals for Celtic in 37(2) games. He also got his Scotland debut in the 4 Associations Tournament and got 2 goals. Celtic won the league, League Cup and Scottish Cup. Man Utd are after him.
Thomas Weir - A great first season at Chelsea for the scotsman with 22 goals scored in 36(1) games. He was another playing getting his first Scotland caps and now has 3 in 3. Is also on 100 career goals. Chelsea finished 3rd and were League Cup runners up.
White Widow - A brilliant season for White Widow with 23 goals in 40 games for Lorient and 20 goals in 13 for Bahamas. Despite enjoying playing for the club, he's considering his options. Lorient were named Champions of France for the first time ever.
Feliciano Zambrano Teles - A very good season for Feliciano with 19 goals for the Atletico Madrid first team in 23(11) games. Atletico finished 5th in the league and he is enjoying playing for the club.
The Mad Scot - Man Utd

Incase anyone is wondering, i add together everyones totals before each update, just to make sure they are correct. If any are incorrect, then it'll be sorted the next time round.
And the top goalscorers goals are counted from what his seasons history says. For example White Widow has 43 now, but could scored more in friendlies for Bahamas therefore he might be at 45 on his history.
Leading Lorient to a Ligue 1 title is amazing work! I am surprised a bigger club hasn't bid for him yet? But he is getting plenty of games for Lorient and I hope his run can continue! Great updates CB. How many seasons has he been at Lorient now then?
That was only his 3rd season at Lorient. Remember he and everyone else are only just about to turn 20, so there is still plenty of time for big teams to come in will get holidaying now and we might even get another update up before the FA Cup highlights start on ITV later (when i'll be turning my pc off).
Will post again about awards, not sure the cups ones is that necessary as nobody is really playing in them and if they are, we find out about it anyway. I will make posts about World Cup and Euros though.
finally got a run in the team and contributing to cup wins! good end!
Got some goals \o/Simone Finke - Simone ended up playing just 3(5) games for Napoli and finding the net twice and is now enjoying playing for the club. Napoli ended up finishing 6th in the league and they also won the Italian Cup.
Can I change my surname to Fickle due to the constant changing of being happy/unhappy at being at the club? At least I am showing good signs of progression attribute wise. Napoli need to stop hoarding strikers if they are not going to play more than one at a time. Swinburn and I should be given the chance to show what we can do.
Nice to see me getting into the City squad and scoring a few goals!
Happy with how it's going so far at Fulham, will be interesting if he follows through with considering his options.
Relegated again and now transfer listed, interesting to see who, if anybody, comes in for me. And an England call up now, certainly going up in the world!
An excellent season there from Radakovic, 70 odd goals behind the leaders though. A few more 30+ goal seasons should see him in the race, but it could take a miracle season to get there.
Yes Mella! Finally a good season, slowly climbing the leaderboard, will be top soon
I'm tearing it up on the international stage, 13 scored in 14 caps Time to move to a bigger club, bigger leagues await.
40 goals behind already Signed a new contract appearantly, at least seeing a bit more game time for OM. 4 goals for the national team as well, not bad.
Bakra - Dutch Young Player of the Year and Feyenoord Fans Player of the Year
Matthew Cooper - Fulham Fans Player of the Year

Happy to get some acknowledgement from the fans with that award!
Still getting games and a good return at Real, but I'd definitely like to start more games next season.
FA Cup top goalscorer. Good times. Hopefully break into the first team now!!!!
Ligue 1 Top Scorer. The future is great for me
Lots of awards for me
Let's try and get to page 4 before the next update, so at least 4 more posts after mine
I'm yet to write it up though but included in it are 3 transfers, 1 of whom is joining another player and....goals as usual.

Good to see the games coming a bit more. Intrigued about these transfers, wonder if me or Finke are one of them!
I hope I've moved, if not .

Package Deal Part XIV -- Technical Article -- Classic TrucksWritten by on April 10, 2006 Sacramento Vintage Ford's Mail- Order F-100: Creature Comforts From Roddoors
Wow, it's actually here--the last installment in our build series of Sacramento Vintage Ford's Mail Order F-100! Now that the rest of the truck is done, we need something to sit on while we're doing burnouts!
Upholstery can been one of those big apprehensions toward the end of any project. Many times there isn't much dough left to even get one done, and who wants to crown their years of hard work with a "cheap" trim job? The days of going down to T.J. for the afternoon and calling it "good" are long gone--people demand more these days than seats stuffed with hay...or worse.
RodDoors is a company that realized this and saw the need to provide not only the products to do the job, but also counsel and advise customers to make sure they get a well-designed interior that utilizes colors and materials sure to make them happy with their investment. There are almost too many options to mention when it comes to interior schemes, which is enough to overwhelm almost anyone when they walk into the upholstery shop unprepared. RodDoors stresses the pre-planning when it comes to this stage in the game. They have a comprehensive Web site and catalog, but even more impressive is their knowledgeable over-the-phone assistance at your disposal. For those who don't want to think about it too much, they have loads of complete combos, ranging from mild to wild already put together, as well as many packages from the minds of top-notch stitchers like Sid Chavers and Ron Mangus.
Whether you choose to tackle it or have a pro seal the deal, follow along as we show you what it takes to install RodDoors' unique approach to a custom interior for your car or truck and look for the full feature of Sacramento Vintage Ford's Mail Order F-100 elsewhere in this issue.
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Here's our Lassen II bench seat from RodDoors that came covered in Raisinette Ultraleather with Chamois Ultrasuede inserts. After unpacking we found both halves of the bench seat, mounting brackets, slider hardware and all the mounting hardware. Now we just have to put it together.The seatback mounts to the bottom where it has hinges to fold forward, and the hinges pop on over the studs on the frame of the seatback, add washers and nylocks and we're set.The already upholstered cover for the back of the seat has these wide plastic "clips" that slide under the seat springs in the seatback so there's no hardware showing.The screws that secure the cover in place are down in the hinged area that meets the seat bottom--this'll be about the only time you'll see 'em.Next, the tracks for the seat slider get bolted to the underside of the seat bottom. There are some cone-type washers that come in the kit, and they go between the slider and the seat with the big side of the cone toward the slider like so.The release cable for the seat slider gets routed through some of the hog rings on the back of the seat bottom on its way to the other side.
Seat position is a critical part of any build. This needs to be done with the primary driver, and the vehicle needs to have the pedal assembly, steering column, and steering wheel installed so everything can be checked to see if it's comfortable for the driver. Also measure as many times as it takes to make sure the seat is square in the cable. Do a visual check, as well. If things are caddywhompas it'll show.To get started on the installation of the Trinadad Copper carpet we had to remove as many obstacles as we could that were coming through the floor...It was good to put the carpet pad/insulation down first because we could figure out what needed to be trimmed without the pressure of cutting the carpet wrong.Next, we got started on the interior panels. The RodDoors pre-trimmed ABS panels are pretty spot-on, so take your time and line them up before putting all the Dualloc Velcro-type squares all over the place.Once the door panel was where we wanted it, we did stick a couple Dualloc squares to the back to hold the door panel in place so we could trim a few little spots like the latch area. You might also have to do this if your truck has upgraded latches like our Bebop's body does.These curved panels go in the cab corners to not only hide that area, but to also serve as a surface to upholster.The RodDoors cab corner pieces are made for a small window '56 cab, so we had to trim them like this to fit the larger opening of our big-window Bebop cab. The RodDoors ABS plastic panels were real easy to work with and can be cut with tin snips and sanded, or filed down to finish, or to "sneak up" on trimming areas that are very visual.
Here's the same deal with the kick panels. The one we trimmed is on the left, and with its untouched brother on the right, they don't need much. We made sure to deburr the trimmed edges so the Ultraleather wouldn't snag.We cleaned the backsides of the ABS with a little BraKlean on a rag so the Dualloc pieces would stick well.Now came time for a professional to step in. I loaded up all the panels along with the Ultraleather and Ultrasuede to take a ride over to see Rudy at Auto Upholstery of Orange in the city of Orange, CA. He began by laying out the ABS panels on the Raisinette Ultraleather to see where it would be best to cut out the pieces and to make sure we had enough material to cover everything.After cutting out a piece of the Ultraleather, the backside of it was sprayed with an even coat of upholstery glue as well as the outside of the door panel and both were allowed to set up for a couple of minutes before joining the material to the panel.Once he flipped it over to make sure there weren't any wrinkles, Rudy it put back on the table face down to wrap the material over the edges after adding some more glue to the backside edge of the door panel. Also here you can see where the armrest area was cut out and again folded over while pulling everything tight to make sure nothing got bunched up along the way. Notice the relief cuts around the curves of the armrest hole.The armrests themselves were a little trickier. Here's Rudy checking the elasticity of the Ultraleather, making sure it'll wrap around the armrest.After laying down the glue in the same manner as before, Rudy busted out the heat gun to get the Ultraleather to stretch just enough. Use the heat gun carefully; you don't want to burn yourself or the material.These little Dualloc squares are all that's behind the RodDoors panels to attach them body. The heavy-duty squares are backed with 3M tape, the same kind used to hold exterior body trim on many cars so you know they'll stay in place and as a result you don't see any screws that would normally hold the panels in place.
The RodDoors headliner is made of the same ABS as the rest of the interior panels are made of. Again, this kit was made for a small-window cab, so we had to trim some of the headliner that borders the rear glass of our big-window cab before Rudy covered it in the Chamois Ultrasuede that matches the two-tone on the bench seat. Rudy had to put a small seam in the two rear corners of the headliner since the Ultrasuede doesn't stretch like the Ultraleather.The Package deal is now done, and its finale showcases a custom interior that wound up with looks that are comparable to much pricier scratch-built trim jobs...

The 7 Most Random Celebrity Duos Who Hung Out Before Fame
Fame makes for a lot of strange bedfellows. Some would prefer you to remember their connections, like Peter Scolari with Tom Hanks. Others would rather you didn't bring it up, like Tom Hanks with Peter Scolari. And there are still others who started out together that you would've never even thought of. Like ...
#7. George Romero and Fred "Mister" Rogers
If you've never seen George A. Romero's 1968 film Night of The Living Dead, first of all, here it is. It's public domain, so feel free to watch it as many times as you want without paying anyone a dime.
Really, it belongs to us all.
But before Romero was filming people shambling around his neighborhood in death metal makeup, he tried making a living working on commercials and short films. One of his earliest jobs was shooting a television segment for a Presbyterian minister named Fred Rogers. You probably know him only as "Mister" Rogers.
We're not sure about Fred, but at the very least, the king wants to eat your brains.
That's right -- Romero, one of the godfathers of splatterhouse cinema, got his start filming bits for Mister Rogers' Neighborhood on PBS. In fact, it was a segment that featured Mister Rogers getting a tonsillectomy that reportedly inspired Romero to go into the horror movie business, though he probably found it hard to top showing a graphic surgical procedure on a show targeted to toddlers.
Rogers was incredibly supportive of Romero, but that support did stop short of letting him use Betty Aberlin (who played Lady Aberlin on Mister Rogers Neighborhood). Romero wanted her to play the role of Judy in Night of The Living Dead, a character whose primary purpose was to explode and be eaten. Mister Rogers said no.
"No, you're right Fred. The zombie thing is probably a passing fad."
Not that Mister Rogers had a problem with Romero's zombie movies. He went to screenings of both Night of the Living Dead and Dawn of the Dead, and after viewing the latter, he told Romero, "It's a lot of fun, George." Which is fitting, because if Mister Rogers' Neighborhood and Night of the Living Dead have taught us anything, it's that it's what's on the inside that counts.
As seen above.
#6. Tommy Lee Jones and Al Gore
Academy Award winner Tommy Lee Jones began his Harvard education in 1965 on a scholarship, and as the custom for freshmen goes, he was tossed into campus housing with a randomly selected roommate. As any of us who have been to college knows, if you're lucky, you get somebody you can at least tolerate for nine months.
"Tolerate" is a word that here means "draw penises on."
Tommy Lee Jones was fortunate enough to get along so well with his freshman roommate that they requested to room together for the next three years. His roommate? None other than the inventor of the Internet himself, Al fucking Gore.
Al fucking Gore.
The two did just about everything together, from playing pool and shooting tin cans to traipsing through the Tennessee wilderness hunting, canoeing, and chasing cows and raccoons in the woods at night to wrapping a turkey in tin foil and cooking it in their dorm room. Presumably their friendship was one of the primary influences behind The Dukes of Hazzard.
Also, they watched Star Trek. This is not a joke. This actually happened.
As if they could sense their exploits would eventually become both ironic and hilarious, they toured bars as country music singers trying to pick up women. The opening act featured Gore performing stand-up comedy, which given Gore's public speaking style was probably every bit as witty and topical as a Hungry Man dinner.
The two remain close friends to this day, presumably having many heated debates over whether an Academy Award or a Nobel Prize will get you laid more.
We hear the bars in Oslo are filled with Nobel Sluts.
#5. Jon Stewart and Congressman Anthony Weiner
With New York City's dense population, you'd expect there to be some overlap as people are getting their start, sharing surprisingly nice apartments on their meager incomes.
Sort of like when Friends shared their apartment with Paul Rudd.
One of those people was Jon Stewart, who got an apartment with a woman who was the girlfriend of the unfortunately named future congressman Anthony Weiner. Weiner then was just a middle-class kid from the Bronx living off his girlfriend and mom while waiting for his bachelor of arts degree to pay off. Stewart likely endured him eating all the Raisin Bran and leaving his shit all over the apartment.
Basically, he was being a Weiner.
While there are admittedly few publicly known anecdotes about their past together, it is interesting to note how both Weiner and Stewart wound up in the political sphere. Keep in mind, these two didn't meet in the "aspiring political figure" club in college. Stewart was an actor/comedian who would go on to have a brief stint on MTV followed by years of character roles in various movies.
It was during this time that he was stabbed in the eye with a pen in The Faculty.
He took over as host of The Daily Show in 1999 -- a show that at the time had absolutely nothing to do with politics -- which is the same year Weiner began representing New York's 9th District in Congress. Since then, Stewart has arguably become one of the most influential political commentators, and Weiner's popularity has grown enough to get him elected to six consecutive terms.
That is one red, veiny Weiner.
And, yes, the Congressman has even been a guest on The Daily Show. So stop for a moment and look over at your stoned, hipster roommate playing Mario Kart behind you. Thirty years from now, you might be president and he might be pope.
#4. Lee Corso and Burt Reynolds
Lee Corso, the former football coach who dons mascot heads every Saturday for ESPN's College GameDay, wasn't always the goofy bastard doing color commentary. Back in college, he was a goofy bastard playing football for Florida State University with his roommate Burt Reynolds.
Based on true events.
Reynolds said of Corso, "Nobody was funnier, especially in the huddles." We assume this was not because Corso was telling jokes, but because his suggestions for the next play were laughably ridiculous. Even so, he left the school as the interception leader, a record that stood until it was broken by Deion freaking Sanders. And as it turns out, not only was Corso friends with the Bandit, he also totally banged all of Reynolds' cast-off football groupies.
Corso said: "One was gorgeous, the other one was ugly. He always took the beautiful girl, gave me the ugly one. But you know what I found out early? Burt Reynolds' ugly girlfriends were better than anything I could get on my own."
Because nobody captures beauty like Burt Reynolds.

I know that two consecutive Lorentz Boosts in different directions produce a rotation and therefore Lorentz Boosts don't form a group. But, my intuition tells me that, Lorentz Boosts in the same direction should form a group. Two boosts along the x axis should produce another boost along the x axis. Is that correct?
Yes, it is a one-dimensional subgroup generated by exponentiating an infinitesimal boost. Every one dimensional exponentiation of a generator forms an abelian group, because $e^{aG} e^{bG} = e^{(a+b)G}$, there is nothing to not commute. This result is the addition of velocities, you can explicity check that this is associative (it is always manifestly commutative).
Firstly, an excellent question. Never considered this before.
As has already been said, combining boosts along difference directions clearly doesn't form a group as the closure axiom is not met.
However, Lorentz boosts are nothing more than (hyperbolic) rotations in Minkowski space. So I think the set of boosts along the same axis should form a rotation group. I hope someone else can explain the reasoning without resorting to generators, as they're not my strong point.
See this YouTube video for some basic derivation.

I have the following basic question about Sobolev-spaces which take their values in a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$, i.e. functions $u:\Omega \to M$, $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ bounded, such that for every chart $\varphi : M \to \mathbb{R}^d$, the composition $\varphi\circ u$ is in the usual $H^1$ space.
Question: 1. Is this notion well-defined (this is only easy to show for higher order smoothnes or $n =1$)? 2. Does the manifold-valued Sobolev space admit the structure of a Hilbert manifold? 3. Do there exist good references for manifold-valued Sobolev spaces (and their relations with Hilbert manifolds)? 4. Is there a better way to define manifold-valued Sobolev spaces?
Many thanks for your answers!

Fix $n \geq 1$ and let $B$ denote a triangulated closed $n$-ball. Let $D$ be a subset of the boundary of $B^n$ that is homeomorphic to the closed $(n-1)$-ball and such that is properly triangulated by the same triangulation as well.
I would like to compute the Betti numbers of $B$ relative to $D$. I have tried to regard the long exact sequence on homology of the chain complexes, and that the $0$-th homology is trivial as it is isomorphic to the $0$-th homology group of the de-Rham complex. Is it correct that all Betti number of $B$ relative to $D$ vanish?
I am not used to algebraic topology, and need the result only in a secondary (if even that) context. I could use a reference which clarifies under which circumstances to use the long exact sequence on homology in the context of simplicial complexes.

I am working on an arcobjects extension, that basically provides universal batch / task scheduling for the geoprocessing tools (similar to ERDAS's Batch/Scheduling System), the project is 99.9% complete.
Anyways my issue is, i have looked, and looked, dug through the API, searched, posted questions on ESRI's forums (got no answer) for the last few days. However i cannot find any method for retrieving the currently selected geoprocessing tool.
What i have tried (blank map no layers loaded):
- Accessing the IMxDocument.SelectedItem, and IActiveView.SelectedItem, seem to return a com object with a empty guid string (i am guessing its only for layers etc)
- Trying to hook into the underlying Arctoolbox tree (i cannot figure out what it is though) via the hwnd (i was desperate)
- IApplication.CurrentTool, this returns null
Most curiously there is an IArcToolBoxFind, and a IArcToolBoxTool within the ESRI.Framework, which is where i would expect this kind of functionality to reside in. However i cannot find any examples, of this anywhere. Nor can i find any sort of documentation, and according to the object model there is nothing.
EDIT Nevermind ignore the comment about the above two they are for implementing an arctoolbox.
Does anyone have any ideas?
EDIT 2 Its basically a universal, batch/scheduling tool. When the user opens any of the tools i first want to open a custom dialog, then the geoprocessing dialog however in order to open the georpocessing dialog without actually having the event go to the geoprocessor you need a handle on IGPTool, or something similar. However to find this i would need to know what geoprocessing tool is opened.
Also i found a solution, which is basically use arccatalogue + the tree browser, toolboxes showup within the tree. And you can easily find out what is selected. This is just a stop gate solution however but yeah damn it esri.

I want to make sure that I have some of the more popular or sought after animals where available for novice artists that want to take things slow and learn how to draw on a timely basis. Drawing a dragonfly for kids is going to be good fun for everyone else too because it's such a simple design that drawing this insect is fun. I colored mine using a hot-pink shade with powder blue colored wings. There isn't really anything else for me to say about this dragonfly seeing how I have described how to draw one of these bugs so many times before. So have fun, and be sure to rate, comment, and fav if you like.

Another person is dead and one Simpson County teen is in critical condition after a terrible accident that killed five people Monday afternoon. Police are still investigating a crash that happened on Gold City Road in Simpson County. They say an S.U.V. carrying seven people sped over the top of a hill and swerved into a hill. Simpson County Sheriff Gene Starks says speed is probably the contributing factor to the accident.
Four people were pronounced dead at the scene: the driver, 41-year-old Corey Donald Reed, his daughter 15-year-old Katelyn Reed, and his son 10-year-old Corey along with a friend 16-year-old O.J. Edison. Reed's 12-year-old daughter Sarah died at Vanderbilt Hospital.
One of the passengers Jeremy Sublet remains in critical condition in Vanderbilt Medical Center. Family members say he has suffered severe pelvic injuries. Another passenger, Brandon Russell, was released from the hospital last night. He has suffered a severe concussion.
Meanwhile, tomorrow afternoon from one until three grief counseling for the students will be available at the Simpson County High School library.

AUGUST 6, 2008 La Mirada, CA – Makita U.S.A., Inc., manufacturer of high quality industrial power tools and accessories, is proud to announce the release of its new 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Rotary Hammer Kit, model BHR202. The new cordless rotary hammer adds to Makita's extensive LXT Series of cordless tools featuring 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery Technology, a breakthrough in cordless that delivers more power, less weight and better engineering. The new BHR202 combines big impact and high speed in a compact cordless design.
"We did some research on our best-selling BHR240, and made it even better," said Ethan Haughawout, Makita's associate product manager – cordless products. "We made the new BHR202 more compact with less vibration, but we kept the same speed and hard-hitting power. And the LXT Lithium-Ion Battery makes this rotary hammer perfect for remote use, where running a cord is not an option."
The new BHR202 has a Makita-built motor that delivers 1-1,000 RPM and 0-4,000 BPM. It has a 3-Mode switch for rotation only, hammering with rotation, or hammering only. The built-in torque limiter clutch disengages if the bit jams when hitting rebar or other obstruction. In addition, the one-touch sliding chuck enables easy bit changes, and the chisel rotates 360° with 40 different locking positions to get the best working setting. The built-in L.E.D. light illuminates the drilling surface for improved visibility.
The hard-hitting BHR202 has enhanced durability features, so the tool beats up the work surface – not the tool or the tool user. It has an ergonomic grip with a soft-grip handle, and a jobsite-tested shock-absorbent handle to protect the battery from excessive vibration. This new feature is engineered to reduce vibration and extend the life of the battery.
"We took the same shock-absorbent handle design from our high-torque impact wrench and added this to the new BHR202 to reduce vibration transmissions from the tool to the battery terminals," said Haughawout. "The end result is less vibration on the battery, providing even longer run times."
The BHR202 is ideal for electricians, plumbers, masons, HVAC, and general contractors who require a best-in-class engineered cordless rotary hammer.
The BHR202 is powered by Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion Battery Technology and Rapid Optimum Charging System, a breakthrough in cordless technology producing 430% total lifetime work with two-and-a-half times more battery cycles when compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries. The Rapid Optimum Charger is ENERGY STAR rated for its charging efficiency, and will charge a Makita 3.0Ah Lithium-Ion battery in just 30 minutes.
Model BHR202 is a kit that includes (2) two LXT Lithium-Ion (3.0Ah) batteries, 30-minute Rapid Optimum Charger, depth gauge, side handle and contractor bag. Model BHR202Z is the tool only.
Since its introduction on October 3, 2005, Makita's LXT Series featuring 18V Lithium-Ion Battery Technology has been providing the professional end-user with more work solutions. Nearly three years later, with 30 single tool solutions in the LXT Series, Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion battery is a breakthrough in cordless with more power, less weight and better engineering, and Makita is proud to be the first to bring it to jobsites across America.
"Makita did not just design a longer run time battery; we designed a complete tool solution to redefine the way pro users work," said Ken Hefley, senior vice president marketing, Makita USA. "The LXT solution is all muscle and no fat, with 18 volt power at 12 volt weight. LXT allows the pro user to work longer with a better engineered tool solution."
Makita\'s new LXT Series has been designed specifically for Lithium-Ion battery technology with less weight in a more compact size. LXT is 40% less weight and more compact. The ergonomic shape fits like a glove with even pressure while adding more control. The LXT Series is also equipped with built-in L.E.D. lights that operate independently from the tool to illuminate the work area.
Makita LXT Lithium-Ion Batteries and Optimum Charging System produce 430% total lifetime work with two-and-a-half times more battery cycles when compared to traditional 18V Ni-Cd batteries. The Optimum Charging System is ENERGY STAR rated for its efficient charging process. Makita\'s LXT Lithium-Ion batteries provide the pro user with many benefits, including 1,400 battery life cycles, longer run time, 40% less weight, five-times lower self-discharge to keep cells active and ready to use any time, a built-in memory chip to communicate with the Optimum Charger for more work, built-in shock absorbing features to protect the battery, and sixteen firm-holding contact terminals for constant high power. The battery works in conjunction with the Optimum Charger during the charging process for a more efficient charge and maximum battery life.
The new Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the LXT battery throughout the charge cycle using the built-in memory chip in the battery and the built-in CPU chip in the charger to recognize the history and battery condition to select the optimal charging method. The optimal charging method uses Active 3 Controls for current control, thermal control and voltage control. The charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery to produce more lifetime work.
Makita has better technology with a new smart Battery Diagnostic System (sold separately) that enables users to understand the battery condition to maximize battery life. This new system is ideal for large pro and industrial users with many batteries. This system is able to indicate how the battery was used and can optimally refresh each cell for more lifetime work, determine the battery life expectancy based on how many times the battery has been charged or gone through a cycle and can log each battery to keep a permanent record.
Makita has also added compact cordless power tools to its line of Lithium-Ion products, and they are unique in both appearance and performance: The 18V Compact Lithium-Ion (1.5Ah) battery weighs just .85 lbs. and reaches a full charge in only 15 minutes, four times faster than the competition. The compact battery combined with the compact design of the tools delivers a superior power-to-weight ratio. These compact tools – including the ½" Compact Driver Drill (BDF452HW) – feature a new black and white exterior design, distinguishing these compact cordless models from Makita's familiar teal-colored top-of-the-line cordless product in the LXT Series.
Makita's newest compact products are powered by a 10.8V Lithium-Ion battery. These lower-voltage products clearly have a place in Makita's series of Lithium-Ion cordless tools.
"Makita's Lithium-Ion platform is not solely focused on 18V power, as evidenced by the recent launch of our 10.8V Lithium-Ion ultra-compact tools," said Brad Wheeler, product manager – cordless products. "Makita applies power, precision and compact design to every tool it makes, and these same qualities have been built into the new 10.8V Lithium-Ion 2-speed driver-drill and impact driver. These ultra-compact tools have been engineered for trades that require professional power and quality in a convenient size."
The new 10.8V products fill a need for Lithium-Ion battery power in an ultra-compact size. They are positioned as a first step into the Lithium-Ion battery platform from older battery technologies.
"For those pros using 9.6 and 12 volt tools every day - and there are many of them - Makita's new ultra-compact 10.8V Lithium-Ion line of tools is a great way to step into Makita and into the superior advantages of Makita Lithium-Ion power." said Wheeler. "These tools come in handy for so many lighter duty jobs out there. Every tool box should have one."

MINERVA (November 6, 2012)--Volunteer firefighters from three departments were able to contain a structure fire to two bedrooms early Monday morning, a Minerva volunteer firefighter said.
The fire broke out at about 4 a.m. on Cedar Grove Road and required aid from Minerva, Cameron and Rockdale volunteer fire departments.
At least two people were living in the home but were able to get out safely and residents in the community were helping the residents move out their belongings, a spokesperson said.
Fire officials say that the house could have easily been a total loss but was contained early on.

Which is more user friendly for the "mass population" on the internet? Is it better to present the traditional "category" pattern when having them post something on your site, or is the "tagging" pattern considered user friendly enough to rely on?
Well they should be for different uses. Tagging is for adding some meta data to an object. To describe it. Categories are more organizational and a way of grouping all content into few groups.
Here is a good article explaining the difference.
So its the age old answer that "it depends" on the use. If you want the users to just add more description and meaning to images, posts, and other objects, then go with tagging.
If you want them putting those into few buckets that summarize all the content into topics, than categories.
As a UX professional, I'm not convinced there really is a difference.
The article jonshariat links to makes a case for categories being mutually exclusive. If universally true, then that's perhaps the one difference, but given that many sites use tags as a form of category browser, I don't think that holds true either.
But let's assume it does. From an end-user navigation POV, the difference is then whether or not your 'buckets' are meant to be mutually exclusive of not. So, perhaps that's the question you need to ask...for the particular needs of your users of your site, should the data be put into mutually exclusive buckets, shared across buckets, or both?
As for 'understanding' that, well, that's up to how you design the UI to navigate the structure.
Tagging seems to be a huge trend on many sites, especially with the use of the word tag on Twitter, etc. Most sites like this are using the tag terminology.
Categories evolved into tagging when they started appearing a little superfluous for light classification schemes. Tag(as called) play a significant role when target information is either too much or too heterogeneous to enforce a comfortable classification. It's a great way to improve findability without getting too much in the way a user experiences a system or consumes an information..if designed conventionally! :)
UX majorly and mostly dictated this distinction from its very inception.

Culture, Conflict and Insurgency
From 1989 through 2008, 117 of the 124 active armed conflicts around the world were intrastate insurgencies. Insurgencies are predicted to remain the major form of conflict in the coming decades. When an insurgency establishes itself, what is the most effective approach to ending it while maintaining a functioning government and minimizing the loss of life by all parties involved? Through the assessment of six counterinsurgency (COIN) country case studies, this research sets out to determine whether more inclusive government policies produce better outcomes in combating insurgencies than more suppressive policies. Particular focus is placed on whether enacted policy achieved the desired end state, relatively quickly, with the fewest number of casualties.
The purpose of this article is to improve unity of effort and understanding within, and between, the military and other stakeholders in expeditionary economic. Defining this role will also contribute to mission success and more effective conflict related development. In pursuit of this quest questions drawing upon relevant strategic guidance; current USAID conflict related development protocol; relevant academic theory; recent U.S. military development efforts in Afghanistan and Iraq; relevant historical military development efforts; and proposals by development experts are employed. Questions evaluate whether or not a given proposed role for the military aligns with strategic guidance, development protocol and best practices, academic principles and theory, and military expediency.
Culture, Conflict & Human Rights
The recent conflict in Libya has thrust a relatively new concept, the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) onto the international stage. Adopted by the UN in 2005, R2P is the product of an evolution in international thought since the end of the Cold War as the international community tried to adapt from primarily interstate to intrastate conflicts. Soon after, rapid development in technological globalization greatly increased interconnectedness throughout the world. This meant that more people, in more places, in shorter timeframes had access to events occurring anywhere in the world. The development of R2P will be studied through this lens, by examining a number of intrastate conflicts to show that a relationship exists between the end of the Cold War, globalization and R2P.
Culture & Conflict in the Nuclear Age
Radiation was a revolutionary concept to most Americans when they first became aware of the clouds blowing over their heads from Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Radiation became a favorite plot element in popular-culture texts that embodied the complex contradictions of the atomic age. In plot or setting, radiation legitimized breaks in normality. It was a uniquely postmodern world that unfolded every day; at the same time that fallout was killing the sheep of downwind ranchers in Nevada and Utah by the thousands, moviegoers across America could watch aliens, intent on destroying humanity, breeding and raising hordes of giant bugs and reptiles underneath the Nevada desert. Wearing 3-D glasses and striding boldly into the future, Americans seemed as ready to explore this land of tomorrow as they had been to fund its creation with their tax dollars.
Culture & Conflict in Post-Saddam Iraq
In addition to its many political and security problems, Iraq at present faces many difficult socioeconomic challenges as well: poverty; sluggish real growth; high unemployment; low productivity; low standard of living; and widespread corruption. In a wider geopolitical and global economic context, Iraq's awaited economic model which should benefit from globalization could also generate far-reaching political and economic impacts on the security and prosperity of the unstable but strategically vital Middle East region.
Reviews: Mapping the Literary Terrain
Stanford University's Francis Fukuyama is nothing if not controversial and intellectually provocative; his book The End of History and the Last Man, published in 1992, was among those models that attempted to make sense of what America should do in the post-Cold War era. His latest work is an ambitious topic that tries to explore the historical origins of political institutions and the process of political decay. His mammoth book, which is only volume one of two, is not a book of solutions but a book of ideas on the rise and fall of political institutions that is filled with historical snippets that leave you pondering about where America is in the 21st century.
The conflict over Western Sahara is one that involves the disorderly transference of Spanish colonial rule, ideological differences between Algeria and Morocco, the issue of self-determination, as well as the national obsession by all segments of Moroccan society regarding possession of this territory. It is perhaps the one of the biggest roadblocks hindering the five-nation Arab-Maghreb Union (AMU) from realizing its full potential. Moroccan retired Colonel-Major Bouriyala writes a unique book that looks into the history of the conflict between the Frente Popular de Liberacion de Saguia el-Hamra y Rio de Oro (Polisario), Algeria, Mauritania, and Morocco. His book is entitled, Al-Sahraa' Al-Gharbiya Al-Maghribiya min Khilaal Al-Tareekh wal Diplomasia Al-Hasniya (The Moroccan Western Sahara from a Historical and Diplomatic Vantage), and was published in Arabic by Al-Talib Publishing in Rabat, Morocco in 2002.
The long war on terrorism necessitates that we immerse ourselves in books of military significance published in Arabic, as all war is fought in the mind first. These books can range from those written by terrorists, those combating terrorism, to the subject of this essay, the Umayyad Caliphate, a period that came three decades after the death of Prophet Muhammad in 632 CE. Dr. Omar Farouk Fawzy (hereafter referred to as Fawzy) is an Iraqi historian, and among the few Arabs who specialize in the history of the Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates. His books form a part of my course on the obsession Militant Islamists have in re-establishing the Caliphate as a long term inter-generational objective. This necessitates a closer examination of this institution, beyond the sound bites al-Qaida provides to appeal to segments of the Muslim world.
In May 2012, more than six months after the killing by US drones of its founding editorial leaders, Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Kahn, AQAP published simultaneously Issue 8 and Issue 9 of its glossy magazine Inspire. Much of the content of Issue 8 was completed at the time of the killings but due to the disruption, it would be several months before these completed articles would be edited and formatted for publication. Issue 9, largely composed of new materials including moving tributes to the slain editors, was produced at the same time. Below, we present a reformatted version of the magazine designed for easy and rapid web scrolling, to foster wider discussion among students of counterterrorism and to stimulate further insight into the mind of our opponent as the war on terror, by whatever name it is now known, continues.
This thesis examines how Islamic extremism spread within the Republic of Macedonia and what policies could reverse this trend. Major political, economic, and legal changes in Macedonia have provided fertile ground for nontraditional Islamic ideologies. Although adherents to radical Islamic ideologies in Macedonia have used NGOs and charities as mobilizing structures, they were not able to create their own organization. For most Muslims in Macedonia, critiques and visions of contemporary radical Islamic ideologues are problematic. The author suggests that nurturing a culture of questioning and debating may counter radical Islamic ideologies. Other policy recommendations for counterterrorism measures include fighting organized crime and application of social network analysis concepts.
This thesis considers in the influence of culture on strategic decision-making processes in Japan and China. It applies strategic culture and operational code analysis to two historical case studies, Japan in 1941 and China in 1954, and considers primary source documents from both cases. The author assesses the strengths and weaknesses of both research perspectives and develops a composite view of decision-making for both Japan and China and determines that elements of culture, manifested through strategic culture and operational code, had a significant influence on decision-making in both cases, but that it cannot entirely supplant structural theories of international relations in determining state behavior. The author suggests some future research avenues that could improve understanding of these cases and decision-making research in general.
Since the establishment of the Durand Line in 1893 as the international border between Afghanistan and British India, the frontier areas on the eastern side of the border have not been integrated into the social fabric or political framework of the government. Conventional wisdom views integrating the tribes of the FATA as extremely difficult, if not impossible. But the real reason is that neither the British nor subsequent Pakistani administrations committed the appropriate resources or attention to accomplish the task due to a lack of political will. Geopolitical influences and Islamist militants drove the resistance that deemed the effort to integrate FATA, an area void of significant natural resources, not worth the cost. Terrorist organizations that Pakistan supported both covertly and overtly in the frontier areas are now uncontrollable and the very instruments intended to promote the national interests of a nuclear armed yet power deficient state pose an existential threat to the government they were intended to serve.
State, local, and tribal law enforcement (SLTLE) agencies play a significant role in homeland security. Their intelligence function supports their hometown and the nation's homeland security. The New York City Police Department (NYPD) recognized that the same intelligence that secures the homeland is required to secure New York City. NYPD restructured its organizational structure and external business practices to acquire the requisite intelligence to secure NYC and in effect facilitated the nation's homeland security. This thesis identifies NYPD's intelligence practices as a smart practice that SLTLE agencies should adopt, scaled and tailored to their realities and needs, to secure their hometowns and to compound a national effort to secure the homeland.
