GENESEO, N.Y. - SUNY Geneseo's commemoration of the life of Martin Luther King Jr. Jan. 16 will focus on a daylong program of intergenerational and interfaith service. Students and area senior citizen volunteers will participate in educational presentations followed by projects to serve the needs of home-bound senior citizens in Livingston County.
Students, faculty and senior citizen volunteers will begin the MLK Day of Leadership and Service by learning about King's legacy through a keynote address from William Cook, a distinguished teaching professor of history at Geneseo, titled "Martin Luther King Jr. at Age 83." The group will then attend leadership workshops through the college's GOLD Program (Geneseo Opportunities for Leadership Development). During lunch, they will listen to local teacher and civil rights activist Lulu Westbrook-Griffin address "Freedom is Not Free," the story of her arrest in Americus, Ga., in 1963.
In the afternoon, participants will engage in service projects to assist the 400 home-bound senior citizens in Livingston County. Projects will include creating dry soup mixes; writing greeting cards and notes; filling energy saving draft dodgers; assembling File of Life Everyday Information Kits; and cutting fleece for scarves. Thirty senior citizens from the Livingston County Office for the Aging Foster Grandparent Program will be participating in the program and helping with the service projects.
"College campuses across the country are involved in the national Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge to advance programs focusing on religious tolerance and our day of leadership and service commemorating Dr. King's life reinforces our efforts within that initiative," said Tom Matthews, Geneseo's associate dean of leadership and service. "We have a great educational program planned this year and the service component will benefit the numerous home-bound senior citizens living in Livingston County."
Participation in the Day of Leadership and Service is free but requires registration by contacting Matthews at email@example.com or calling the Center for Community at 245-5706.
The Corporation for National and Community Services leads the annual nationwide MLK Day of Service, working with the King Center in Atlanta and thousands of schools, nonprofit groups, faith-based organizations and businesses. On the Geneseo campus, The GOLD Program is partnering with college's Division of Student and Campus Life; Center for Community; Office of Multicultural Programs and Services; Office of Volunteerism and Service; MacVittie College Union and Activities; the Student Association; Campus Auxiliary Services; and the Foster Grandparent Program at the Livingston County Office for the Aging.
Geneseo will continue the commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr. March 8 by hosting civil rights movement activists Judy Richardson, Dorothy Zellner and Betty Garman Robinson. They are editors of "Hands on the Freedom Plow: Personal Accounts by Women in SNCC." They will speak at 7 p.m. in the MacVittie Union Ballroom.
On March 7, Richardson will lead a discussion of the film "Scarred Justice: The Orangeburg Massacre, 1968," and Robinson will lead a community organizing workshop for student. Both events are free and open to the public but the workshop requires advance registration through Emilye Crosby, professor of history or Catherine Adams, assistant professor of history.

Rick Bowmer, Associated Press
Jewell, the 56-year-old chief of Recreational Equipment Inc., represents a new face for a cabinet post more often associated with ranching or oil, gas and mining development. The fact that a mountain-climbing CEO of an outdoors company is President Barack Obama's nominee underscores a new reality in Washington and beyond: the growing influence of outdoor recreation as a political and economic force.
"It's a total game-changer — a recognition of changes in how public lands are used," said Peter Metcalf, president and CEO of Salt Lake City-based Black Diamond Inc., a maker of ski and climbing gear and apparel. "Politics in Washington have finally caught up with reality."
While past interior secretaries have ranged from conservationists, like former Arizona Gov. Bruce Babbitt, to allies of industry like Reagan's first Interior Secretary James G. Watt, they always have been challenged by the competing forces that want to use the federal government's vast lands. That tension doesn't figure to ease under Jewell, who faced her first Senate hearing Thursday and is expected to be confirmed in coming weeks.
Critics complain that the outdoor industry has worked to lock up valuable lands and stymie development in the West. Though oil and gas trade groups aren't opposing Jewell, the nomination of a woman who has a led a recreation-focused company with 128 stores in 31 states alarms some who argue that she might favor her own industry over others.
Rep. Rob Bishop, R-Utah said the recreation industry is "a special interest group like any other .... They have clearly wanted their industry to have a primary position on certain pieces of land."
At Thursday's hearing, Jewell cited federal statistics showing that the Interior Department generated more than $12 billion in revenue from energy production last year, and that visitors to national parks generated an estimated $30 billion in economic activity.
"These are impressive numbers. They underscore the important balance that the Department of the Interior must maintain to ensure that our public lands and waters are managed wisely, using the best science available, to harness their economic potential while preserving their multiple uses for future generations," she said.
Jewell, who also has experience in the oil industry and as a banker, already has been tested with demands as she prepares to take over the department, which manages 780,000 square miles of public lands, including the national parks.
Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski threatened to hold up Jewell's nomination if the Obama administration refuses to approve a road to an all-weather airport across a wildlife refuge in the Aleutian Islands. Murkowski called Jewell into her Washington office Feb. 27 on the demand, but said she's expecting departing interior secretary Ken Salazar to give the approval before he leaves office.
It wasn't long ago that that the notion of the outdoors industry holding major political clout would have been difficult to imagine.
"We've always thought the outdoor sector was important. It's just getting others to recognize it that was the challenge," said Sue Rechner, chief of Confluence Watersports, a Greenville, S.C., maker of Mad River canoes and other watersports brands.
Outdoor executives acknowledge they were somewhat naive when they started in politics. They first tried to lobby members of Congress by giving ice-ax awards — that didn't cut it, said Metcalf, one of the industry's most active and passionate voices.

At the Cedars-Sinai Stroke Program, the care given to persons who have had a stroke is measured against the standards created in the Get With the Guidelines program sponsored by the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association.
The Get With the Guidelines - Stroke program is an in-hospital program designed to improve the treatment given to people who have had an acute stroke. The guidelines are based on the latest scientific research in the treatment of stroke. They focus on quick diagnosis and treatment after a stroke and actions to prevent future strokes. These measures include:
- Types of Strokes Treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
- Timely Administration of the Drug tPA
- Stroke Patient Education
- Rehabilitation Plans Following a Stroke
- Mortality Rate Following a Stroke
- Discharge After Treatment for a Stroke
- Functional Independence Improvements Following Treatment for a Stroke During Inpatient Rehabilitation
The Get With the Guidelines (GWTG) Aggregate Data report was generated using the OutcomeTM PMT system. Copy or distribution of the GWTG Aggregate Data is prohibited without the prior written consent of the American Heart Association and Outcome Services, Inc. (Outcome) The data reported here is from the report run in March 2015 reflecting 2014 data.
Currently, 2496 hospitals are participating in the Get With the Guidelines program. They have contributed information on 3,424,403 patients in 2014.
Beginning in 2013, The Joint Commission began collecting data on Stroke Care. The measures were developed by the American Heart Association (AHA) and data specifications were aligned with the Get With The Guidelines program for those measures that are tracked by both organizations. To view Cedars-Sinai performance on the Stroke Care Core Measures, click here.
Cedars-Sinai Earns Comprehensive Stroke Center Certification
The Joint Commission and the American Heart Association / American Stroke Association established Stroke Center Certification in 2003 to promote excellent stroke care in hospitals across the United States. Currently more than 900 Joint Commission certified Primary Stroke Centers have established a formal program to treat stroke patients effectively and consistently with the goal of improving care and outcomes.
In September 2012, The Joint Commission, in collaboration with the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Brain Attack Coalition, began certifying two levels of stroke care, "primary" and "comprehensive." Comprehensive Stroke Centers offer the highest level of care, including neuro-intensive care units, complex neurosurgical interventions, and advanced brain and blood-vessel imaging.
This Advanced Certification for Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSC) recognizes the significant resources in staff and training that comprehensive stroke centers must have to treat complex stroke cases.
Cedars-Sinai was proud to be among the first 5 in the nation to receive this prestigious and rigorous designation and the first Comprehensive Stroke Center in Southern California.
Cedars-Sinai Medical Center Recognized with "Get With the Guidelines" Gold Plus Award
The American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association have recognized Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with a Gold Plus Performance Achievement Award in 2008.
This award recognizes Cedars-Sinai's performance over 24 consecutive months. This prestigious award demonstrates 85% compliance with all 10 "Get With The Guidelines" measures. The Plus awards represent a current gold or silver award and additional 75% compliance with module-specific quality measures for at least 12 consecutive months.
The data below on stroke patients treated at Cedars-Sinai reflects treatment given to 934 stroke patients discharged during 2014.
Profile of Patients Receiving Stroke Treatment at Cedars-Sinai
The chart below compares the type of patients treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center with all patients reported by hospitals nationally participating in the Get With the Guidelines (GWTG) program. The average age of patients treated at Cedars-Sinai is 71, which is the same as the national GWTG average.
Types of Strokes Treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center
Patients treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center had one of the following types of strokes:
- Hemorrhagic, where blood leaks from a blood vessel into brain tissue. This type of stroke can take two forms. A Subarachnoid hemorrhage where a blood vessel just outside the brain ruptures. The area of the skull surrounding the brain (the subarachnoid space) quickly fills with blood. The second type is an intracerebral hemorrhage, in which there is bleeding inside the brain that causes a build up of pressure and damage to brain cells.
- Ischemic, where a blood clot shuts off the flow of blood to parts of the brain
- Transient ischemic attacks (TIA)
The chart below compares the percentage of people treated for each type of stroke at Cedars-Sinai and nationally.
Timely Administration of the Drug tPA
Tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) is a powerful drug used to break up blood clots that cause ischemic strokes. The drug is usually given through a vein in the arm. To be effective, the drug must be given within four-and-a-half hours after a stroke occurs. Not all people having ischemic strokes benefit from tPA. The drug has certain side effects that a doctor must consider before deciding whether tPA is the best treatment for a stroke patient.
A higher number is better.
Stroke Patient Education
Patient education following a stroke can help prevent future strokes. The chart below compares how many Cedars-Sinai patients received education following a stroke compared to hospitals nationally.
A higher number is better.
Rehabilitation Plans Following a Stroke
A stroke can cause damage to the brain that makes it difficult for a person to return to his or her normal daily activities. Rehabilitation after a stroke can help a person live with any remaining effects of a stroke. It can also help the brain recover more fully. The chart below shows the percentage of stroke patients treated at Cedars-Sinai for whom a rehabilitation plan was considered. These data are compared to hospitals nationally.
A higher number is better.
Mortality Rate Following a Stroke
Of the patients admitted to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center following a stroke, 6.7% died while in the hospital. This compares to an average of 6.3% for other hospitals nationally participating in the Get With the Guidelines program.
It should be noted that a higher percentage of patients treated at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center had hemorrhagic strokes compared to patients at other "Get With The Guidelines" hospitals. A total of 18.8% of the patients treated at Cedars-Sinai had that type of stroke. At other "Get With the Guidelines" hospitals, only 14.1% of the patients treated had hemorrhagic strokes.
A lower number is better.
Discharge After Treatment for a Stroke
The following chart shows the percentage of patients who were discharged to their own homes (with and without home health care), inpatient rehabilitation, skilled nursing facilities or other places.
Functional Independence Improvements Following Treatment for a Stroke During Inpatient Rehabilitation
A patient's ability to do activities of daily living without help is measured by a tool called the Functional Improvement Measure (FIM) ™. Using this tool, rehabilitation specialists working with patients can measure their progress from admission through discharge.
The Uniform Data System for Medical Rehabilitation is the national benchmark providing a way to document functional severity and the results of medical rehabilitation. Through the use of the Functional Independence Measure ™ (FIM), clinicians follow changes in functional status from admission to discharge. The FIM contains 18 items that assess severity of disability and level of functional independence on a 7 point scale.
Ratings are performed in the areas of self-care, sphincter control, mobility, communication, and social cognition. Ratings are established by the interdisciplinary team at admission to inpatient rehabilitation and at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation. Outcomes are measured by taking the numeric difference between the admission FIM and the discharge (FIM). FIM scores range from 18 (dependent) to 126 (independent).
The chart below shows the average functional independence score of patients admitted to Cedars-Sinai following a stroke, the improvement in FIM score during treatment and their FIM score at discharge.

5 Reasons Being Single Sucks Even More Than You Thought
#2. People Hate You
Single People Tell Themselves:
Fine, so I'm poor, over-worked and my government hates me. So what? That doesn't mean I should rush into anything. Only fools rush in! Elivis said that, and he was practically a genius. It's not like I should shack up with the next biologically viable human being I pass on the street, right? Right?
The Truth:
Rutgers University did a study that gathered empirical data of social stigma associated with being single and, well ... it's not pretty. Single men were viewed as being stupid and dishonest, and single women were more likely to be harassed and treated badly at restaurants. In fact, the study yielded so much material, that report we linked up there runs 58 freaking pages.
Even with the divorce rate hovering around 50 percent, marriage is still considered the norm. And if you're single for too long, there's a chance you'll stay that way.
You. Forever.
Time spent single is a lot like time spent in the bathroom. It's the most natural thing in the world, until you're there just a moment too long. But once you hit that point, there's no turning back. People start to wonder what's wrong with you. Gross images start popping into their heads. The next time they see you, you might smell a little funny to them. But hey, look on the bright side, at least nothing's actually wrong with you, right?
#1. You Are Going to Die Soon
Single People Tell Themselves:
Well, at least I have my health...
The Truth:
We'd hate to send the message that you single folks are all alone in this world, with nobody to rely on but yourself ... since you can't even rely on yourself, really. See, even your body hates you for being single.
"Hello? Anyone?"
Opinions vary on why single people are more likely to get sick and die. Some think it's because marriage offers moral support to get through the tough times. Others think it's just that a spouse is more likely to nag you into going to the doctor. Of course those are things you can counteract without getting married. Just buy a dog and schedule regular medical checkups, right?
But that won't change the fact that married people have a better immune systems than you. They don't have to be happily married. Even divorced people are better at fighting off illness. It's like marriage is an all purpose vaccination that never wears off.
"If only he would've married. Then he wouldn't be so pathetic. And dead."
You'd think the health care system would be designed to accommodate all the strange and fascinating diseases you single folks have waiting in your future. But married people get the better of that too, often choosing between two subsidized plans, and paying less per person. In fact, they get such a good deal that people literally get married just to get on their partner's health plan. While this might sound pathetic to you now, it will sound a lot more reasonable when you realize that the grapefruit sized lump on your neck isn't going to remove itself. If it does remove itself, you're probably going to have to go to the ER and get that shit stitched up.
But hey, happy Valentine's Day single people! You might want to hang onto all that money you're saving on gifts.
If you're in a relationship, find out just how much it sucks being single by sending one of these 15 Brutally Honest Valentine's Day Cards. And be sure to learn The Terrifying Truth Behind Valentine's Day.

In Matthew 1:21 what is the name of Jesus in the Peshitta text? Is it the same as the name given in Luke 3:29, Acts 7:45 and Hebrews 4:8 which is rendered as Joshua in English?

Dr. Sebastian P. Brock, who retired from teaching at Oxford University, has demonstrated that the Peshitta New Testament was translated from the Greek into Syriac. The name of Jesus in the Syriac Peshitta text is ܝܫܘܥ (Jesu). This is how it is rendered in Matthew 1:21. However, the name 'Joshua' is not consistently rendered in this way in Syriac, presumably because it was not consistently rendered in the Greek.
In Luke 3:29, Joshua is transliterated as ܝܘܣܐ (Jose). Yet in Acts 7:45, Joshua is rendered the exact same way as Jesus (ܝܫܘܥ). This is most likely because in Luke 3:29, the Majority/Byzantine Greek text uses Ἰωσῆ (Jose) while in Acts 7:45 the Greek text uses Ἰησοῦ (Jesus).
Hebrews 4:8 is a peculiar case because most Greek manuscripts render this as Ἰησοῦς (Jesus), and the Syriac Peshitta also does (ܝܫܘܥ). However, the Syriac also has ܒ݁ܰܪ ܢܽܘܢ (son of Nun, בַּר נוּן) (clearly referring to Joshua, not Jesus). It seems that this may be a scribal gloss added for clarification, although the reasoning behind this gloss would be better suited as its own question. Modern translations almost unanimously translate this passage as referring to Joshua, but the King James Version rendered it as 'Jesus.'

Myth: I have pain in my breast, so I must have breast cancer.
Fact: Pain in the breast is common and can be caused by several things, but it is not usually associated with breast cancer. You should make notes about when the pain occurs in relation to the menstrual cycle, how long does it last and if there is anything that seems to trigger the pain or relieve it. Often times, breast pain will resolve on its own, but, if it does not, you should see your healthcare provider. Some common causes of breast pain include: hormonal changes during menstruation, birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy, weight gain, fluid retention (swelling), or a poorly fitting bra. There is even some research to say caffeine can contribute to water retention that leads to breast pain.
Myth: A teenage girl who finds a "lump" must have breast cancer.
Fact: Although breast cancer can occasionally affect women as young as their mid-twenties, it would be unlikely for a teenager to have breast cancer. A lump found in a teenager is usually a fibroadenoma, which is not a cancer. These lumps feel hard and round, but do not usually cause any pain. They can be surgically removed if they become bothersome.
Myth: Men do not get breast cancer.
Fact: Breast cancer in men accounts for about 1% of all breast cancers cases (men & women combined) and about 0.2% of all types of cancers in men. There will be about 1,690 new cases of male breast cancer in 2005, compared to 213,000 new cases in women.
Myth: Having a mammogram causes breast cancer or causes an already existing cancer to spread.
Fact: Mammography does not cause breast cancer. Mammography cannot cause a known breast cancer to spread. The compression (flattening) of the breast tissue during a mammogram does not cause breast cancer and does not cause a known breast cancer to spread.
Mammography does expose a woman to a low amount of radiation. It is an extremely small amount of radiation and is at a level far below any regulatory limits. However, if you are pregnant you should notify your health care provider prior to having a mammogram.
Myth: I have breast implants and can't have mammograms.
Fact: Mammography can be performed in women who have had breast implants. Women who have had breast implants should continue to have screening mammograms according to the guidelines established by the National Cancer Institute. A woman with breast implants should notify the center performing her mammogram that she has breast implants. Implants can occasionally block some views of the breast, but notifying the technologist performing the mammogram that you have breast implants allows special techniques to be used to make sure that as much tissue as possible can be seen on the mammogram. Additional pictures may be taken of the breasts of women with implants, so the test could take a few minutes longer.
Now, in women who have had breast reconstruction following mastectomy, there is often minimal breast tissue remaining on the side of the mastectomy. Your doctor may decide that mammograms are no longer necessary on the breast(s) that were removed.
Myth: Injury to the breast causes cancer.
Fact: Injury to the breast does not cause breast cancer. If the breast is bruised badly, there may be an accumulation of blood under the skin that can feel like a lump. The body will reabsorb this over time, just as any bruise heals.
Myth: Antiperspirant and/or deodorant causes breast cancer.
Fact: There have been reports that antiperspirants and deodorants (AP / D) contain chemicals that can be absorbed through nicks due to shaving and cause breast cancer. There have actually been a few studies looking at this. The first study showed no increased risk of breast cancer in women who used antiperspirant or deodorant without or without shaving the underarm area (they even asked whether an electric razor or regular razor was used). The second study is what has caused all of the concern – Paraben is a preservative found in cosmetics and AP / D that acts like an estrogen in the body. Researchers examined breast tissue from 20 breast cancer patients and found parabens in that tissue. These researchers did not look at healthy breast tissue or tissue from other parts of the body to check for parabens, so we do not know if all tissues contain parabens. The researchers also did not prove that the parabens they found actually came from AP or D (since so many products contain parabens). They also did not prove that parabens cause breast cancer.
One other surveyed women with breast cancer. They found that those who started using these products at younger ages and used them more frequently were diagnosed with breast cancer at an earlier age. This study did not include any women without breast cancer, which makes it impossible to apply the results to everyone.
Bottom line is – more research is needed. Parabens are a group of preservatives, used to prevent bacterial growth, and are found in many things, including cosmetics, food and beverages. If you want to avoid these parabens, check the ingredient list for any of the following: methylparaben, ethylparaben, propylparaben, butylparaben, parahydroxybenzoate or parahydroxybenzoate and find one that doesn't contain them.
Of note, the National Institues of Health have a website that allows you to check the ingredients and safety of household products. It is called the Household Products Database.
Myth: Biopsies and air cause breast cancer to spread
Fact: Biopsies and/or air can not cause breast cancer to spread. The fear of biopsies comes from the concern that sticking a needle into a breast tumor to get a sample or using a scalpel to remove the whole tumor can then move some of those cells to a different place in the breast (by the cells sticking to the needle or dropping cells from the tumor into other places). Studies have not found this to be true for breast cancer biopsies (but it can happen with ovarian cancers). Some people believe that exposing the cancer to air during surgery or biopsy can cause the cancer to spread, this too, is not true.
Myth: Women get breast cancer because of something they did, because they kept their emotions inside, or had low self-esteem.
Fact: A group of researchers in Australia did a study on this topic. They found no increased risk of breast cancer in any of the personality traits they studied. These included mature or immature behavior, neurotic behavior, emotional expression (keeping them in or letting them out), emotional control, self-esteem, anxiety, or depression.
Myth: Hair dye causes cancer.
Fact: Several studies have looked at this issue as well. Today's hair dyes are considered very safe. The most recent study found no increased risk of cancer because of hair dye use. This study was done because a previous study had indicated that there was an increased risk of bladder cancer among hair dye users. The latest study does indicate that more research should be done in relation to hair dyes and leukemias and myeloma, as there appeared to be a slight increase in risk in those areas.

How to Install a Spark Plug
4 of 6 in Series: The Essentials of Replacing and Gapping Spark Plugs
When you're changing your vehicle's spark plugs, work on one spark plug at a time: Remove it, inspect it, clean it, and — if it's salvageable — gap it. Then replace it before you move on to the next spark plug in cylinder sequence order. To maintain the proper firing order, each spark-plug wire must go from the spark source to the proper spark plug. Therefore, only remove the wire from one plug at a time, and don't disconnect both ends of the wire!
To insert a spark plug into the engine, follow these steps:
Clean the spark plug hole in the cylinder block with a clean, lint-free cloth.
Wipe away from the hole; don't shove any dirt into it.
Lightly coat the threads of the spark plug with a dab of oil from the oil dipstick.
Be careful not to get any oil on the center or side electrodes.
Carefully begin threading the spark plug into the engine by hand, turning it clockwise.
This is called seating the plug. You have to do it by hand or you run the risk of starting the plug crooked and ruining the threads on the plug or the threads in the spark plug hole in the engine.
If you have trouble holding onto the plug, you can buy a spark plug starter and fit it over the plug. Or, you can use just about anything you can wrap around or slip over the plug top, including an old spark plug wire boot, a finger cut from a vinyl glove, an old piece of thin plastic tubing, or a piece of vacuum hose.
Engage the plug by hand.
Turn it at least two full turns before using the spark plug socket and ratchet.
Slip the spark plug socket over the spark plug, attach the ratchet handle, and continue turning the plug clockwise until you meet resistance.
Don't over-tighten the plug (you can crack the porcelain); just get it in nice and tight with no wiggle. The plug should stick a little when you try to loosen it, but you should be able to loosen it again without straining yourself. Tighten and loosen the first plug once or twice to get the proper feel of the thing.
Examine the spark plug cable before attaching its boot to the plug.
If the cable appears cracked, brittle, or frayed or is saturated with oil, have it replaced. Before you attach the boot to the spark plug, apply some silicone lubricant to the inside of the boot; then push the boot over the exposed terminal of the new plug and press it firmly into place.
Repeat the steps to install each spark plug.
It's at times like these that owners of 4-cylinder cars have the edge on those who drive those big, expensive, eight-cylinder monsters. Unless, of course, they have two plugs in each cylinder.
When you're done, start your engine to prove to yourself that everything still works. Then wash your hands. If you've had a difficult time with a hard-to-reach plug, get some rest before taking on additional work. And take comfort in the fact that, next time, the job should be a breeze.

THE PARTY To kick off CBS juggernaut Hawaii Five-0's new season, Honolulu threw a no-holds-barred bash as part of the ever-popular Sunset on the Beach series, drawing celebs, visitors and locals for a celebration that went into the night. THE PLAYERS Hawaii Five-0 Executive Producers Peter Lenkov and Roberto Orci, Daniel Dae Kim, Masi Oka, Taylor Wily, Michelle Borth, Gov. Neal Abercrombie and a host of island entertainers THE HIGHLIGHTS In a media frenzy that's rare in the islands, the celeb-packed showing drew thousands of fans, many of whom lined the red carpet just to snap a pic of their favorite actors.

I have multiple projects each requiring their own research that's not interrelated.
(ie: Database Admin, Systems Admin, Database Development). Knowledge in these areas is endless and falls under categories of
- Solving most recent problems
- Forming ideas on how to best proceed
- Background knowledge
- Interest
Most of it comes from web browsing and all kinds of books available.
I am basically overwhelmed because the knowledge base is broad and the projects are multiple and unrelated. How would you divide up and organize the research & still feel like progress is made in each project?
This is has to also be scheduled as more or less daily/weekly task.

The phrase is, of course, from one of the good Pink Floyd songs: Another Brick In The Wall. I always wonder what could it possibly refer to in the context of the song and in general context. I mean, what kind of exchanges would you term 'Dark sarcasm in the classroom'?

The Wall (the movie; the album The Wall is the soundtrack) is the highly-stylized biography of Pink Floyd - a fictional rockstar loosely based on Roger Waters.
(By the way, there are actually three songs called "Another Brick in the Wall"; the one you're referring to - which starts with "We don't need no education" - is Part II. ABitW, Part I starts "Daddy's gone across the water, leaving just a memory" and Part III starts "I don't need no arms around me; I don't need no drugs to calm me.")
ABitW,Part II is set in a Dickensian/Orwellian nightmare vision of an English boarding school. The teacher has just caught young Pink writing poetry, and he mocks Pink for his literary aspirations by waving the "little black book with poems in" over his head, crying "A poet! The laddie fancies himself a poet!" and then reading the poem out loud, in the most dismissive way possible. (The poem he reads is "Money", from The Dark Side of the Moon.)
In short, "dark sarcasms" refers to the ways in which (bad!) teachers find, and hold up to public ridicule, the weaknesses of their students in order to crush their souls and dreams.
Sarcasm is frequently encountered in everyday life, and it doesn't especially have to be negative - sarcasm is used a lot in humour. Correspondingly, sarcasm is found every day in schools, used by pupils and teachers alike.
However, in the very Orwellian 'Brick in the wall', the 'dark' is meant to convey a more cynical, sinister or particularly ill-intended sarcasm demonstrated by the the teachers; a particular pernicious sarcasm that poisons the minds of the pupils, or (as I think the song intends) the conditioning of the populace by the establishment/government machine.
"Sarcasm" is defined as "—
mocking, contemptuous, or ironic language intended to convey scorn or insult"
So "dark sarcasm" can be defined as below:
I've always thought it meant evil sarcasm, like evilly mocking someone

Motiva Enterprises on June 6 said planned maintenance on a delayed coker unit's gas recovery system at its Port Arthur, Texas, refinery under way since June 3 resulted in flaring. Tesoro on June 2 reported the start-up of a H2SO4 plant at its Golden Eagle Refinery in Martinez, California.
The following table lists planned and unplanned
production outages at US refineries as reported by Dow
Jones Newswires. The information is compiled from both
official and unofficial refining sources and doesn't purport
to be a comprehensive list.
Motiva Enterprises on June 6 said planned maintenance on a
delayed coker unit's gas recovery system at its Port Arthur,
Texas, refinery under way since June 3 resulted in flaring. A
filing to environmental regulators made
available on June 5 didn't specify whether the work was planned
or unplanned. It did say operations were slowed to stabilize
the unit and to minimize flaring. The current status of
operations isn't clear.
CVR Refining said unplanned sulfur
recovery unit maintenance on June 5 at its
Wynnewood, Okla., Refinery resulted in flaring an
emission of hydrogen sulfide, according to a filing to the US
National Response Center. The report didn't specify whether the
work was impacting production at the 70,000-bpd refinery.
Tesoro on June 2 reported the start-up of a H2SO4 plant at
its Golden Eagle Refinery in Martinez, Calif. to state environmental regulators. It wasn't
clear when the unit was taken out of service or whether it had
an impact to production.
Valero Energy on June 3 said some units at its Jean Gaulin
refinery in Quebec, Canada, have begun the restart process
following nine weeks of plant-wide turnaround maintenance. It will be another
several days before the refinery is back at planned rates.
CHS Inc.'s oil refinery in Laurel, Montana, has
been undergoing major turnaround maintenance since earlier this
spring, a report on June 2 in the local Billings
Gazette newspaper said. The scope of the turnaround wasn't
detailed but information submitted to the Department of Environmental Quality said the project involves major renovations
to several processing units and that the project will enable the refinery to
refine a higher percentage of diesel fuel and a lower
percentage of gasoline, the Gazette story said.
ExxonMobil on May 30 said its Torrance, Calif., refinery was
working to normalize operations following a disruption in power
supplied to the refinery by an external provider. The incident
resulted in emissions and unplanned flaring. The
status of operations at the plant wasn't clear since the
company in early-May said the refinery would conduct "several
weeks" of planned maintenance at several process

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

[ are you anemic ]

Red blood cellswhy are they so important?
Red blood cells are important because they carry oxygen to all parts of your body. Oxygen is required for energy and to keep your body functioning properly. When the number of red blood cells falls below a certain number, oxygen is in short supply. Without enough oxygen in your body, you begin to feel tired and weak.
Common signs of anemia
How chemotherapy causes anemia
The medicines that are used to treat your cancer work by attacking and destroying the cancer cells. These cancer cells are different from the other cells in your body in that they multiply and grow very quickly. Chemotherapy targets all quick-growing cells.
However, there are normal cells in your body that also grow quickly, like the cells in your scalp (the hair follicles) and the cells in your bones (bone marrow cells or blood cells). Unfortunately, as chemotherapy works to destroy the cancer cells in your body, it also can affect other cells, namely, red blood cells. And that's where anemia comes in.
Chemotherapy attacks red blood cells and actually interrupts the process of cell development that takes place deep inside your bones.
When this happens, the number of red blood cells circulating throughout your body drops lower and lowerthe amount of oxygen available to your lungs and other organs is less and lessand you begin to feel more tired, more fatigued. Eventually, if left untreated, the number of red blood cells remains low and results in anemia.

By the Obama administration's count, agencies trimmed some $4 billion in overhead spending in the first half of fiscal 2012 compared with the same period in 2010.
But you won't find a breakdown of those savings anywhere.
The same is true at the Defense Department, which claimed early last year that it will save $178 billion by 2016. The Pentagon won't release the results of quarterly progress reviews toward that target on the grounds that they are internal deliberations.
Likewise, the Army has reported its Lean Six Sigma/Continuing Process Improvement program yielded $1.6 billion in savings in fiscal 2011, but it could not provide a rundown of the 1,400 projects that contributed to those savings.
"How can you know that you are on target if you can't tell us what you did?" asked Steve Ellis, vice president of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a watchdog group that follows federal spending policy.
At the National Taxpayers Union, spokesman Pete Sepp credited the administration with progress in cutting costs in areas such as information technology management. But he agreed the White House would be better served by providing more detail on its track record.
"The public has been promised a leaner, meaner federal government for decades, and what they get looks a lot more bloated and timid than they'd like," Sepp said. The best way to overcome that perception, he said, "is provide hard data."
On his official blog last month, acting OMB Director Jeffrey Zients reported that the administration's Campaign to Cut Waste prompted agencies to save $4 billion from a 2010 benchmark through March by consolidating cellphone contracts, reducing vehicle fleets and other steps. Overall, the administration's goal is to double that to $8 billion by next September.
Last week, in response to Federal Times requests, OMB provided a spreadsheet showing that some agencies are well ahead of others toward meeting the individual spending goals that feed into the $8 billion target.
As of the end of March, for example, the General Services Administration had saved $71 million, 45 percent more than its $49 million goal. The Interior Department's cuts amounted to $22 million, barely 10 percent of its $207 million objective.
Absent from the spreadsheet, however, was any detail on how those reductions were achieved. That information is maintained by agencies, which then report their spending reductions every three months, OMB spokeswoman Moira Mack said in an email.
"Agencies are making significant progress in reducing expenditures in key administrative areas — and as in all cases, they continually strive to strengthen reporting," OMB Controller Danny Werfel said in a statement provided by Mack.
The quality of that reporting has recently come under question in at least two instances:
The Environmental Protection Agency's regional offices in Atlanta and Kansas lack "reliable methods for estimating savings and cost avoidances," the agency's inspector general said in a report last week.
The Veterans Affairs Department overstated $710 million of $1.1 billion of savings claimed under an OMB directive to reduce contract spending, according to an audit by its inspector general published late last month. Besides double-counting $19 million in transactions, VA also included $562 million not allowable under OMB's guidelines, the audit said.
VA leaders did not dispute the findings; in response, all administration and staff offices must name a senior official to certify the accuracy of future savings, Todd Grams, the department's chief financial officer, said in a memo included in the audit.

Linkin Park Living Things Album Cover!
Very cool!!
gret choice
Thanks :D
Where did you find this awesome cover?! lel
Call me a nerd, but I like the 'Information Society Live: It is Useless to Resist Us' cover and their 'Synthesizer' cover.
5 years agoReply
Rush - Moving Pictures has always been a fascinating cover for me...
5 years agoReply
EPIC...... and thank you
the prince of darkness
"The ultimate sin" by ozzy
I wonder if the lady on the cover is modeled after his wife?
mine are these
Great albums. Thanks
Since I really only own Tom Petty and David Bowie records and they aren't very flashy, I'm going to go with my favorite record that would come into the used bookstore from time to time. :D
Love it.
Love it.
that's scary as hell, looks like something out of village of the damned!
Seriously...... I fell off my chair! We may have to start voting.
This is just amazing... I think this needs some spoofing.
Dang....There are almost 30,000 results for this song on youtube! I didn't mean to clown on this.......... but I do keep looking at the hair like a bad car accident
Hahaha, clown away. I especially like how two of them look dead on like teenage boys in drag. :D
CONGRATULATIONS! This cover comes up as #4 on a Google image search for "funny album covers all times" :)
Hmmm all three could pass for boys in drag LOL
My own picture..
which is very perfect on cover photo.
which is very perfect on cover photo.
Um, vanity is a sin.....lol
I don't think "she" is saying that is a picture of her. At least, the profile says she's a she :-)
I was just clowning around....but is this an album....or a teen throb CD cover????
Of course it make no difference, I was just curious.
Well of course, I could be mistaken with the SHE designation too, since the Avatar is a stock photo of Evan Rachel Wood
Well, first the words on the shirt are "mirror image" so the picture IS being taken from a mirror; secondly a Google image search got me nothing on the picture as either an album cover or anywhere else on the web.
Hmmm, not sure about this one either, especially since I am NOT a big Brittany Spears fan.....but here is a link to the cover.....
screw the link. thats awesome!
Thats disturbing
It's all about record sales.
First up is Frank Zappa's Overnight Sensation. (References to every song on the album - note the slime oozing out of the TV set)
After that, anything by Roger Dean in the Yes era. He has a couple books, I have two of them.

Joe's garage is simply bad ass and I have seen the "Album Cover Album". Great stuff and thanks
I still like the old ELP album covers:
Track 3 up there. Still..... you turn me on. MAN, is that a killer song!
Yes, one of Lake's love songs from the Brain Salad Surgery album:
Although I do like their adaptations of some classical works: "Toccata", "Fanfare for the Common Man" (used at the Olympics one year),
I did like their Works and Tarkus albums also (Pictures at an Exhibition, is one of my favorite pieces).

It seems to me that the degree three equations have a special place among algebraic equations. Let me clarify what I have in mind.
- Degree 3 curves: The only curves that hold a group structure.
- Degree 3 surfaces in $\mathbb P^3$: The only surfaces whose curves are not covered by the Noether-Lefchetz Theorem and therefore they are not complete intersection.
- Threefold. Here, one can find examples (the only ones?) of unirrational varieties which are not rational. (can be done by looking at the intermediate jacobian).
Here is my question. Is there a phenomena like this in some other degrees?
In other words, now I'm inclined to think that there is something very special about degree three equations, could this be true? or I'm just happen to be missing other equally important examples in other degrees?
Any answers/comments/examples will be appreciated.
Edit: sure, I deliberately didn't say anything about smoothness and very general surfaces. In order to keep the question simple, please put the sentence in context.

Cynthia Davis and Nicole Davis were ordered held on $3,000 bond each, both charged with hindering apprehension.
Deethel Davis was charged with hindering apprehension, posted a $3,000 bond and was released.
Hancox was ordered held on a $5,000 bond, charged with hindering apprehension.
Police officers said at around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday a woman who lives on the northeast side of the city reported that a man kicked in her front door and attempted to rob her.
The woman reported she was beaten during the attack and she was taken to a Waco hospital where she was treated and later released.
She was able to identify her attacker and police began searching for the man.
Mart police Chief David Monthey said officers went to an area of town where they believed the suspect lived and began searching for him.
When officers approached what they believed to be the man's home, a resident told them the suspect wasn't there.
The resident, however, gave officers consent to search the home and they found a man hiding in a bedroom.
Police also found bloody clothing in the house that matched the description of clothing the victim said her attacker was wearing at the time of the robbery.
The man was arrested for the home invasion and four other people at the home were arrested for hiding him from police.

I am currently learning Haskell. I am trying to write a function which given two list of n distinct elements returns true if one is a permutation of the other. I am doing this as an exercise.
I first wrote it as :
isPermut :: (Eq a)=>[a]->[a]->Bool
isPermut u v = foldl (\acc x -> acc && (elem x u)) True v
This seems to work. I now try to rewrite it without lambda expression. So I try :
isPermut :: (Eq a)=>[a]->[a]->Bool
isPermut u v = foldl (&& (flip $ elem u)) True v
This gives me a compile error :
Couldn't match expected type `b0 -> Bool' with actual type `Bool'
Expected type: Bool -> b0 -> Bool
Actual type: Bool -> Bool
In the first argument of `foldl', namely `(&& (flip $ elem u))'
In the expression: foldl (&& (flip $ elem u)) True v
What does this error mean? What is the correct way to write the function without lambda? Thanks.

Inman man charged with meth distribution, forgeries
Published: Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 9:01 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 19, 2013 at 9:01 p.m.
An Inman man arrested on drug charges Wednesday also has been charged in numerous forgeries over the summer.
John David Hayes, 31, of 547 Fagan Drive, was charged Wednesday with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, an arrest warrant states.
Deputies went to the Sun and Sand Motel Wednesday looking for Hayes on outstanding warrants, an incident report states. After finding Hayes in Room 117, deputies also found methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia in the room, the report states.
A woman with Hayes, Alisa Kay Pruitt, 43, of 2209 Rainbow Lake Road, Chesnee, was also charged with possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine, according to the report.
Hayes has been charged with five counts of forgery by the sheriff's office, and two counts of forgery by the Spartanburg Public Safety Department, warrants state. He is accused of creating payroll checks for a fictitious construction company and cashing them at stores in Inman, Campobello and the city of Spartanburg, according to incident reports.
Hayes, who also has been charged with third-degree assault and battery, and numerous bench warrants in unrelated cases, remained at the Spartanburg County Detention Facility Thursday on a $46,000 bond. Pruitt has been released from jail.

The American forward helped put his club's match against VVV Venlo Friday out of reach with his 15th league tally this season.Jozy Altidore stayed hot for AZ Alkmaar, as the U.S. national team forward followed up his hat trick with a goal in AZ's 4-1 victory over VVV Venlo on Friday.
Altidore ran onto a ball over the top, holding his run to stay onside while being guarded by two defenders. He outpaced both Venlo players, dribbled toward goal and put a low, right-footed shot past the on-rushing goalkeeper to give AZ a 3-1 lead in the 62nd minute.
The goal was Altidore's seventh in the last five games, as he followed up his hat trick against Vitesse with his 15th league goal and 19th in all competitions. He trails Vitesse's Wilfried Bony by one in the race for the Eredivisie golden boot, and his 15 non-penalty goals are the most in the league.

I have an HTML5 game on my site, and at the end, I want the user to have the option of posting their score to their Facebook wall. Is there an easy way to ask to post something to Facebook?
You can use the Facebook Graph API for that purpose (there are several SDKs available).
These are roughly the things you need to do:
You don't kneed to place a log-in button, and you don't need to set permissions. I found this Stack Overflow question that explains a quick way to do it just in javascript. The user is asked post the item to their wall, and they can either add a message and post or just skip it.
To post on the user's wall, first register the app with Facebook. Set it up as a webpage app, even though it will be on your website and not theirs.
Now you can put a button on your site that will log the player into Facebook and then the game can post messages on their wall.

BURGETTSTOWN - Santa arrived at the borough's Main Street Park Saturday just in time to cast his "magic" over 40 trees decorated by area residents, organizations and businesses, lighting them and kicking off the borough's annual light up night ceremonies.
"It's wonderful to see everyone here spending time together and enjoying all the work everyone put into their trees," said Jim Reedy, coordinator. "We've got entertainment, lots of goodies and a great crowd."
The event started more than six years ago with 10 trees, and has grown each year, adding trees and participants. This year, scores of residents attended the event, which benefited from clear skies and mild temperatures.
"I'm grateful for the good weather and nice crowd," said Councilwoman Phoebe Suica.
Lily's A Flower Boutique won first place in the decoration contest, with Jamison's Army winning second place, Care for a Cure winning third and the Katus family winning an honorable mention. Judges distributed the awards based on creativity, theme, lights and overall presentation.
Reedy's Lawn Service won the people's choice award, as voted on by those attending the event.
"We all look forward to seeing the trees, voting for the people's choice and finding out who the judges' winners are," said Reedy.
He added that the decorating before the event also was a time for residents to visit with neighbors and friends who also were decorating trees throughout the day leading up to the event.
"It's amazing that such a small community manages to put on such a nice event," said Jackie Pleska, who was attending as a Burgettstown Community Library volunteer. "My kids love it, and I've been down here for the past couple years."
Offering entertainment during the event were Bill Chamberlain's vocal students; the gospel group Three For One, which encouraged those in attendance to sing along with Christmas carols; and the Burgettstown High School band, which also performed carols and holiday music.
"I think it's a really good event for the community," said Kellie Moore. "It's great for the community to come together."
Santa arrived to pull the switch and stayed to hear Christmas wishes from a long line of children attending the event. Santa also provided gifts to each child who visited with him.
"I want to thank the Demczak family," said Reedy, adding the family had assisted in getting Santa to the event.
During the event, Burgettstown Kids Center volunteers offered hot chocolate, cookies and other refreshments. The event isn't possible without the work of dozens behind the scene, said Reedy.
"Light up night 2012 has officially taken place," said Reedy. "I'm so happy so many people came out to take part in this. It's such a positive day for the community. The trees look great; you can tell a lot of thought, planning and work went into them.
"First, I want to thank John and Burt at Burgettstown Hardware, who are an integral part of light up night," he said. "We couldn't even begin to do this without their involvement.
"Secondly, I want to thank everyone and all the groups who decorated a tree. Thank you, without your involvement, we wouldn't have this event.
"I want to thank Three For One, they always do a great job. We want to thank Bill Chamberlain for bringing his vocal students out, they did a wonderful job. We thank the band and hope to see them here for many years to come.
"I want to thank all the volunteers who helped bring the trees in and the borough workers who helped put the trees in and made sure we had electric in place. I'm appreciative every day for their help. The kids center volunteers are the oil that keeps this machine running smoothly. Without their tremendous effort, this idea wouldn't have come together.
"And anyone else I've forgotten - a big thank you to anybody and everybody involved. Your continuing efforts make our community a better place."
The trees will remain in the park and on display and lit nightly throughout the holiday season until shortly after New Year's Day.
"It gets more spectacular every year," said Mayor Ann Marie Quader. "There's a lot of hard work here today. I enjoyed coming down and seeing everyone decorating their trees together."
The kids center will host a Christmas party for the area children from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. Dec. 15.
"It's open to all the kids in the community," said Reedy.
The event will include music, refreshments, a visit from Santa and goodies. It is sponsored by local business Mug Enterprises Call Center Solutions.

What's the deal with Yona being swallowed by a fish (2:1)? Couldn't the same thing (i.e. him realizing his mistake) be achieved if he landed on an island?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
Being in a cramped fish, which felt like a grave, caused Yona to turn to God in prayer [and repentance]. Source: Rashi to 2:1 and :3.
Being trapped inside a fish is a greater miracle, because you can't survive without oxygen, but Yonah survived there without oxygen (see Malbim).
Take a step back and look at the message of the entire book. G-d tells Jonah, "go rebuke Nineveh." Jonah doesn't want to, because he's concerned with his reputation as a prophet; because how it will work out with history (Nineveh is the capital of Assyria, which will later attack Israel; and besides, it will make Israel look bad for not responding to rebuke). G-d's retort is to have the entire natural world turn topsy-turvy on Jonah -- storm, fish, gourd, you name it -- to prove a point. If you try making all sorts of calculations, even for the best of reasons, to defy the will of G-d, then the world stops functioning as we know it.

Kitchen fire in HSU dorm prompts student evacuation
ABILENE, Texas - The Behrens Residence Hall was evacuated shortly before midnight Thursday after the contents of a stove in a community kitchen caught fire.
Janlyn Thomas with HSU Public Relations said the fire started when a resident of the dorm was baking cookies. A Resident Assistant pulled the fire alarm to evacuate students. She also used a fire extinguisher to put the fire out.
The Abilene Fire Department responded to the fire. The fire was extinguished by the time they arrived.
The Behrens Residence Hall houses 135 freshmen women. There were approximately 60 to 70 there at the time of the fire.
Thaxton said there is no damage to the dorm. A screen in a kitchen window was broken to help smoke escape, but there is no lasting smoke damage.

with the extension installed it would look like the box on the right hand side of this (minus graphics until they are uploaded):
Also, please could you unban my ip address ?
The IP has been unblocked
I'll ask JJay to install the template. Don't thin I have the privileges to do so.
FM Wiki rules!
keep up the good work lads, i might pop round one day and have another look, but right now, MYFC on my ipod touch is calling!
he was, great guy
Added the UEFA Club competitions to the Miscellaneous section atm.
Maybe we should change the 'League Guides' category to 'Competition Guides'. It'd make more sense to have it that way imo so we can put the UEFA competitions in there as well.
I've added a few pages:
Japan - J-League
South Africa - PSL
and a few others.
Hopefully, the admin will install the extensions requested here:
Lou, I don't think I have permissions to install those extensions. I have PM'ed our webmaster JJay, but he hasn't got back to us yet.
No worries.. I've had a fiddle about..
Although having said that, shouldn't the UEFA pages be under their FM names? i.e. UEFA Champions League is the European Cup?
Sub-categories are looking good
I think the competition names are fine as they are. Just put in a reference as to what they're called in FM somewhere in the article, should do fine.
I made a page last night called 'Real Competition Names'. No way am I doing all that on my own, there's hundreds of competitions.
What do real competition names have to do with editing?
The same reason the lnc files are in the category!
Depends on how you use them.
Last edited by Blue Lou; 04-05-2009 at 19:10.
I've added competition names to the miscellaneous section - still in the editing section too though.
I love talking about stadiums, and have a pretty good knowledge on English stadiums, if you need me
how do i add pages?
will do Millwall's New Den tonight.
Search for New Den, then click add new page.
its not very good, but what does everyone think for my first go?
Could you add a factfile like here? I will categorise the page for you now, good job
can do, cheers for the link
may take a bit of time, laptop running slow atm.
cheers for the support, i know its not too good but it was my first go, was pretty fun too!
the factfile doesnt look like Adams Park, sorry
Fixed it for you
Good to see more people joining in, welcome aboard.
cheers and cheers
Just want to point you in the direction of the blank pages and stubs in case anyone's interested in adding some content to them.
ill do ibrox tomorrow night
G Rangers stadium
BlueLou - do you happen to have the ParserFunctions folder as the snapshot link appears to error
Your other requests (common.css + SVG) have been completed
Oh right, my bad
no worries
I'm doing Ibrox now everyone
sorry lads
i know it isnt very good but ive been pretty busy
Docklanders - In future, could you please put [[Category:Stadia]] at the end of your stadium profile pages. Also, any chance of a factfile like the last one you did?
If you're watching the game and don't want to be disturbed, then why are you posting here?
good question.
I dont have an answer, well i do, but its not very good:
My dad was telling me to do revision, so i thought id pretend to type, this is better though
will do a factfile now
Blue Lou - stand down, I've got it now ParserFunctions is now installed
Docklanders - Millwall supporter?
I've added a bit to the tips on making the game run faster page.
Has anyone else here downloaded the Fansites pack? It's got some quite good stuff in it, might be worth a look. It's on the FM site.
The fansites kit? I'll have a look.
Out of interest, do any of you wiki editors using a Mac? Just need a little help writing up a page. If anyone who doesn't work on the wiki is reading this (which I doubt), I'd still really appreciate it if you gave me a hand here
And someone who uses Steam too please.

I wouldn't mind contributing some articles!
I love the fact that there's so much still to learn about FM and i'd like to share my knowledge with others
I'll try and contribute a thorough Finance section.
Good to hear swisso, welcome aboard
Just let me know if you've any questions on writing up stuff for the wiki.
Seems like this is going really well, keep it up lads.
Great stuff. Here's the Affiliate Clubs page. As for the tips on finances, you can either stick to the page that arsenal_2111 posted up earlier or start a new page for different subjects. Either way, I don't really mind.
Right, my monthly(ish) check on things has revealed a lot less issues than last time, well done lads
I have one suggestion. Player profiles are currently documentation of a player's career IRL. Don't you think we'd be better off writing about them in FM, as suggested Here?
Also, what areas do you feel we should expand on in the wiki? Anything you'd like us to expand on. I'd like to have an impartial view on what needs to be looked at.
Edit again: I'm doing a massive overhaul of the Useful Links page today. Basically what I'm going to do is have a look around the majority of FM sites and post links to any page I find that might be of use.

Great, cheers Hamilton
I've done a good bit of work on the wiki today. Made a few sub-categories for club guides, might do the same with player profiles but I'll wait for stig's opinion on it before I do anything. A few miscellaneous articles were added. Haven't done that "massive overhaul" of the links page, but I did add a few more links.
I'd suggest removing a lot of the player profiles too. No offence to whoever put them up (presumably ssestig), but unless a player release by Crewe is outstanding in a certain version of FM, there shouldn't be a page on him. Gylfi Sigurdsson has a high PA, but does he really warrent a page? I'm tempted to say so. We'll need to draw up guidelines on whether players are allowed or not (much like they have in Wikipedia). I'd say those should be based on PA. If a player has ever had a PA of -8 or 150+, then he is allowed a page. If he is an outstanding lower league player (like Super Kyle) then likewise. The same should go for staff. Mark Vivean-Foe should be moved to the players section assuming he meets criteria. He isn't in the game as a non-player.
I think the page for the dafuge challenge should possibly be re-named "small club challenges", and incorportate dafuge's challenge, Gundo's challenge, JoseRR's challenge, rancer890's challenge, and the other one. Is that practical?
Club profiles- I like the PSG one, and maybe they should be edited to go down that route? However, ideally there'd be more expansion on players in the squad.
Europa League page could use a clean up.
I'll try to help when I can, particuarly with the player profiles.
I don't think he particularly means that we should not have pages for special players only, but pages shouldn't be created just for the point of it.
I agree with SCIAG on this, if a page is going to be written it should mainly focus around the player in FM and shouldn't be created just so the whole squad is full. Just my opinion.
Maybe a poll in the other forum for this?
If someone has the time or wants to add pages for specific players; then why not? Restricting anything like this defeats the objective of a wiki imo.
What about the screenies from past versions of the game for now?
I am back from my holiday and I have lots of stadium pages to upload and I can also add a FM06 page(or more info to it) as I played some of that on holiday because I have lost my 08 disk and i only have 09 on my computer.
Last edited by pnefc22; 09-05-2009 at 21:53. Reason: Holiday pages to upload? :D

I was thinking about sending a large army into a neighbor's village overnight to eat all their wheat. I am thinking that as soon as my army arrives, it will consume their wheat, and not my own.

- Aside from leaving me a little less defended, and possibly losing troops whilst defending the enemy village, is there a downside to this plan?
