'Call Fox'
By the time readers of the New York Times met Van Jones, the Obama administration's so-called green-jobs czar, he had become the Obama administration's former so-called green-jobs czar. Jones's departure came over Labor Day weekend, in the wee hours of Sunday morning. The Times managed to squeeze into Sunday's paper 71 words of an Associated Press dispatch about Jones's resignation. The next day, the Times published a full story on his rise and fall:
Jones...signed a petition in 2004 questioning whether the Bush administration had allowed the terrorist attacks of September 2001 to provide a pretext for war in the Middle East.
He also used a vulgarity to refer to Republicans just before being appointed to his White House post early this year, and he has publicly supported Mumia Abu-Jamal, who is on death row for the murder of a Philadelphia police officer....

March 11, 1946

Mark Howes Metcalf (born March 11, 1946 in Findlay, Ohio) is an American actor in both television and film.
Early life[edit]
Metcalf attended Westfield High School in Westfield, New Jersey. Metcalf is a graduate of the University of Michigan (BA 1968).
Film and television work[edit]
Metcalf is likely most known to two different generations for two notable roles. In the 1978 college comedy National Lampoon's Animal House, he played the sadistic ROTC leader Douglas C. Niedermeyer, who was described in the conclusion of the film (through on-screen captions) as belonging to Faber College's class of 1963 and as having been "killed in Vietnam by his own troops." He played a very similar character in the Twisted Sister music videos "We're Not Gonna Take It," as the father, and "I Wanna Rock," as a high-school teacher.[1] In each video, he used his Animal House catchphrases, "A Twisted Sister pin?!? On your uniform?!?" and "You're all worthless and weak!" respectively. He pretends he despises the band.[2]
He portrayed a very similar character in the movie The Stupids and the sitcom Teen Angel.[3] He also starred in the 1986 comedy One Crazy Summer, as the sinister, greedy lobster-loving Aquilla Beckerstead.
In the police drama Hill Street Blues, Metcalf had an early key role in the first season as brash Officer Harris, often clashing with gentle partner Officer Santini. However, the role was cut short when Metcalf's character was murdered in the episode "Up in Arms."[4]
In the 1997–2003 television show Buffy the Vampire Slayer and its spinoff, Angel, Metcalf played the ancient vampire supervillain, identified in the "BuffyVerse" as "The Master." Coincidentally, he also played a character called "the Maestro," whose real name was Robert "Bob" Cobb, on two episodes of Seinfeld.[5]
Theater work[edit]
Metcalf works at First Stage Children's Theater. One of the plays he performed in was called The True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle, based on the novel by Avi. Another play he appeared in at First Stage was Holes (novel) in the early 2000s. He is a frequent guest on the Bob and Brian show on WHQG-FM and writes for Third Coast Digest.[6] He is also a volunteer champion for the Alzheimer's Association to raise awareness about the disease [7] and has written about the Alzheimer's documentary I Remember Better When I Paint.[8]
Personal life[edit]
Metcalf previously dated Glenn Close and Carrie Fisher.[9] He moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin in 2000.[10] Metcalf and his ex-wife, Libby, have one child, Julius. Metcalf lived in Bayside, Wisconsin until mid-2013 when he moved to Montana.
Contrary to popular belief, Mark is not the brother of actress Laurie Metcalf.[11]
- ^ Stephen Furst acted out the principal of the unnamed high school in the video for "I Wanna Rock," and sprayed Metcalf with a seltzer bottle in the very last scene of that video. In National Lampoon's "Animal House," Furst's character of Kent "Flounder" Dorfman was, in the homecoming-parade climactic sequence of the film, just about to do the same when Metcalf's character of Niedermeyer shot out the bottle. The scene where Furst sprayed Metcalf with the seltzer bottle was thus viewable[by whom?] as a long-overdue revenge.

Immortal Technique – Civil War
Immortal Technique goes back into history for his new single "Civil War". He explains what the 'real' reasons are/were for the war between North & South. Naturally Chuck D has been added to give the message more power. It is taken from his new album 'The Martyr' which should be released today.
I have read positive feedback about this song and we have to agree. This joint have received some well deserved attention but didnot make it to the top. A pity... Click on the 'play'-button and enjoy!

archetype (är´kĬtīp´) [Gr. arch=first, typos=mold], term whose earlier meaning, "original model," or "prototype," has been enlarged by C. G. Jung and by several contemporary literary critics. A Jungian archetype is a thought pattern that finds worldwide parallels, either in cultures (for example, the similarity of the ritual of Holy Communion in Europe with the tecqualo in ancient Mexico) or in individuals (a child's concept of a parent as both heroic and tyrannic, superman and ogre). Jung believed that such archetypal images and ideas reside in the unconscious level of the mind of every human being and are inherited from the ancestors of the race. They form the substance of the collective unconscious. Literary critics such as Northrop Frye and Maud Bodkin use the term archetype interchangeably with the term motif, emphasizing that the role of these elements in great works of literature is to unite readers with otherwise dispersed cultures and eras.

This report compares the performance of the French innnovation systems with that of other countries and presents the conclusions of interviews with 30 key actors in the French research and innovation system. During the past ten years, this system has undergone profound changes, and the report highlights the governments plan to dynamise and reform the system.
English, PDF, 432kb
France has a longstanding scientific and technical tradition, but to boost competitiveness and accelerate economic growth, it needs to fully exploit its innovation potential. This review highlights the need to encourage private-sector innovation, make public research institutions more accountable and channel more funds into the most promising R&D projects.
Encouraging private-sector innovation, making public research institutions more accountable and channelling more funds into the most promising R&D projects would help restore France's former prowess in science and technology, a new OECD report says.
Forum 2014, entitled Resilient Economies for Inclusive Societies, will be organised around three cross-cutting themes: Inclusive Growth, Jobs, and Trust, exploring the multifaceted nature of resilience and how to now "bounce forward" in addressing economic, social, and environmental challenges.
This book draws on work on green innovation across several parts of the OECD to show how it can drive sustainable growth and job creation. It explores policy actions for the deployment of new technologies and innovations as they emerge.
This book examines dynamics between demand and innovation and provides insights into the rationale and scope for public policies. Drawing on country experience and case studies, it illustrates good practices for designing, implementing and evaluating demand-side innovation policies.
What impact has the crisis had on innovation and spending on research and development? How can innovation help to solve environmental and social threats? The OECD Science, Technology and Industry Scoreboard 2009 provides the data and analysis to answer these questions.
This publication examines the innovation system in pharmaceutical biotechnology in eight OECD countries. Based on rich evidence, it draws policy recommendations to foster innovation in biopharmaceuticals advocating an integrated policy approach.

Crew Cut: Lost and Found Motorcycle Clubs, IRL Crew Poses and More
Not since The Sharks and The Jets have so many roving street Crews turned to theme music as part of their territorial skirmish M.O. iXpertThief, the rapping leader of The SekC Army (SEKC) Crew followed up his recent GTAV "Berserk" parody with a little Crew ditty called 'Thug Life' seen above that lays down what SEKC is all about, highlighting a taste of the squad's affinity for and acumen with holdups, shoot outs, club debauchery and more.
Meanwhile, the Twelve Reasons 2 Die (TR2D) Crew prove that they're perfectly capable of connecting politics – ditto. Apparently big fans of GTA soundtrack alumnus Ghostface Killah and his most recent album which the Crew is named after, they've released an awesome Team Deathmatch highlight reel appropriately set to GFK's "Murder Spree" – the Apollo Brown remix to boot. Watch it below to see TR2D display some crazy gun skills expertly showing off what happens when you neglect to protect ya neck with a few impressively successful knife sprees.
Be on the lookout for some Crews known for terrorizing the freeways and avenues of Southern San Andreas possed-up on their Pegassi and Western 2-wheeled monsters.
The Snapmatic page of the Lost Angels MC (LAMC) Crew reveals to a close-knit group ready to set GTA Online ablaze. Some constructive criticism though guys - you might want to recruit a maid. Then there's the SC Brothers of Freedom (SCBF) Crew, who have put extra effort into getting their name out there. In addition to being quite active on Snapmatic, the gang have also created their own website where they post everything from Crew news to sanctioned allies to documented Crew excursions.
Motorcycle Club Crews. Clockwise from top left: The LAMC Crew live by the credo 'real men wear black'; LAMC most definitely breaking Binco store policy; A candid shot of the SCBF Crew in their posh clubhouse or a Ponsonbys ad?; SCBF Crew show that their colors don't run.
Girls just want to have guns. When it comes to U-N-I-T-Y, the Boss Girls (GIRL) Crew seem to do it right. Having made the sweet voodoo queen Crew emblem illustration below, they're also planning to go above and beyond for the sisterhood by distributing sticker versions of the emblem to all 93 members. Slow clap. Any individuals of the XY persuasion looking to infiltrate their ranks might want to check that hope at the apartment buzzer as their strict recruitment policy requires you to leave a voice message for Leader nikkinade or Commissioner Thizzlers to ensure the integrity of their ladies-night policy.
From left: The Boss Girl Crew's latest emblem reps Santa Muerte; trying out some intentionally un-lady-like salutes; a nice vanity tag shown off in the GIRL Snapmatic collection by Crew Representative demidollz87.
We have to hand it to luikakiu of Hong Kong's zombie fight club (0414) Crew for bringing their Crew family portrait to life in the IRL Crew pose at the bottom left that they posted to Instagram - impressive coordination, fellas. Looking through their Snapmatic feed, this 15 person Crew seem to be having a grand ol' time:
Bookending their emblem, the zombie fight club Crew in the ultimate IRL family portrait on the left; face painting the town on the right.
Check out the corporate style swine vibe of the Gunz of Patriots (GOPS) Crew below. While their Crew motto reads "Kill them all," perusing their Snapmatic page we found a squad truly living it up:
The Gunz of Patriots (GOPS) Crew channel Generation Swine-era Crüe; GOPS' stark and artful logo; Babe Watch.
Abominable Cupcakes (CAKE) Crew Leader LadyGamer101 got into some Halloween mischief recently with this free roam vid filled with deadly tricks and treats. Currently looking for new members, this confectionary clique touts that they 'stay FROSTED and the rest get iced!' and seeks quality over quantity in their ranks. The Sea Haven (SHC1) Crew have been quite busy on their YouTube channel. In addition to this grandiose Crew trailer, these guys have been posting action-packed missions with a side of extracurricular hi-jinks. Then there's the ostensibly peace-loving maxmoefoegames, Leader of the Love and Sunshine (LOVE) Crew, whose motto is 'appreciate and love one another' and has come up with a clever way to test the true LOVE of his fellow Crew members.
The Ganja Outlaws (WEED) Crew yet again impress with their inventiveness and unpredictability, this week making a Crew Cut appearance with this awesome and irie color-coordinated family photo.
Having featured the zany HIGH and Cyclop 9 Crews over the last couple of weeks, we heard from Commissioner Mike921 of the Shine Thugz (THUG) Crew, who reminded us that they're no slouches in the shenanigans department. Crew Cut veterans previously featured last year with a bronze medal honor in our Max Payne 3 Olympic Efforts feature, they pride themselves as a "first French team" with a genuine joie de vivre. Peep the Fight Club-inspired bit of cinéma vérité they sent to us below which opens with a Crew cruise around to some 'Pac (clearly an inspiration) and segues to relentless, brutal melee action and some vehicular mayhem in their customized yellow Vapid Bullet.

Staff Reporter
More than 750 devotees participate in the celebration with enthusiasm
A large number from Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh also participated
in the festival
KARUR: The annual Adi festival of Sri Mahalakshmiamman Temple at Mettumahadanapuram in the district was celebrated on Saturday with the chief priest breaking coconuts on heads of devotees as part of their fulfilment of vow.
More than 750 devotees had coconut broken on their head while some sustained bleeding injuries in the process.
The event had attracted adverse comments from agencies such as the State Human Rights Commission in the past but this time the event passed off without any problems from other fronts.
The ritual is part of a two-day annual festival that is the highlight of the temple annals. A majority of the temple's 'kudipaadu' belongs to the 'kurumbas' and certain sections of the '24 Manai Telugu Chettiars.'
The day began with the 'Amman' returning from the ceremonial procession to the temple and the chief priest, A. Periasamy, performed abishekam with the sanctified waters brought from River Cauvery. A traditional lamp was lit on top of the temple flag mast.
As if in a trance, Mr. Periasamy stood on a shoe of nails and then started breaking coconuts first on the head of seven elders each from the two main communities.
He went along the main enclosure breaking coconuts on the head of over 750 devotees who undertook the ritual as part of fulfilent of vows. A large number of women participated in the ritual without any fear of injury.
Medical assistance was at hand
A medical unit with ambulance and paramedics waited outside to attend to emergency needs but even the devotees who sustained bleeding injuries refrained from going in for treatment and preferred to apply turmeric or 'vibhuthi' (sacred ash) on the open wound. Heavy police bandobust was provided in the venue and in the Mahadanapuram village for the festival.
A large number of devotees from various parts of the State and from Kerala, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh participated in the festival. Incidentally, it was the 23nd successive year that the chief priest Mr. Periasamy is performing, while his father Andi Poojari had performed the task for 56 years. Locals say Mr. Perisasamy's grandfather Raman donned the chief priest's mantle and broke coconuts on the heads of devotees for 62 years.
Earlier there were some ticklish issues to be settled before the event commenced as 'kurumbas' and '24 Manai Telegu Chettiars' were engaged n a wrangle over removal of an advertisement hoarding that the 'kurumbas' had objected to as partisan. That led to a delay of over an hour.

Timely Year-End Tax Planning Can Reduce Taxes; Income Tax Cost Basis Planning; and Marriage and Taxes in 2013.
Excerpt from Timely Year-End Tax Planning Can Reduce Taxes -
Year-end tax planning could be especially productive this year because timely action could nail down tax breaks that won't be around next year unless Congress acts to extend them, which at the present time, looks doubtful. These include, for individuals: the option to deduct state and local sales and use taxes instead of state and local income taxes; the above-the-line deduction for qualified higher education expenses; and tax-free distributions by those age 70 ½ or older from IRAs for charitable purposes. High-income-earners have other factors to keep in mind when mapping out year-end plans. For the first time, they have to take into account the 3.8% tax surtax on unearned income and the additional 0.9% Medicare (hospital insurance, or HI) tax that applies to individuals receiving wages with respect to employment in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 for married couples filing jointly and $125,000 for married couples filing separately).

- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I got this for my birthday and I've used it down to 30* and was quite warm/comfortable. I'm pretty sure I can ride in the 20's with this, but the weather has not gotten that low yet. I want to be able to test my limits in winter riding, but the temps have not cooperated. I like the angled pockets - easier access. Also, the pockets are deep, too. I carried many items with these pockets, including a winter vest. I have larger arms and chest than your typical cyclist because I lift weights and the jacket is pretty flexible and not restrictive, especially around the arm pits (my fear with all the bike clothing). This is a 2 in one jacket - sleeves can be removed - and therefore I can wear in the spring time. I'd recommend it to others.

To save cash, business owners opt to share offices
San Diego County landlords offer 'coworking' options
EcoHub, a green-business and clean-tech incubator operating out of a repurposed corporate campus in Kearny Mesa, aims to foster collaboration with modest rates ranging from $50 to $250 for part-time users. Since it opened in April 2010, it has attracted 27 companies including a maker of compostable cutlery and a bicycle designer.
"The idea is to get people out of their second bedrooms and meeting at Starbucks to a place they can operate efficiently," said Yeves Perez, chief executive of EcoHub. "It has very much become a place to cluster, to work together with other companies and start innovating."
Most entrepreneurs hope to grow eventually to the point where they need their own, dedicated office.
Locally, an entry-level office lease might start at $1.25 per square foot, or about $1,250 per month for a typical 1,000-square-foot office, although subleasing arrangements can offer much better deals, said Jason Hughes of Irving Hughes, the largest San Diego commercial real estate company that exclusively represents business tenants in the leasing of space.
Hughes has seen more clients consider coworking as an option, but said the trend still hasn't caught on in San Diego the way it has in cities such as San Francisco. One reason is that businesses can get deals by subleasing traditional office space — in some cases as low as 50 cents per square foot per month — because of the high vacancy rates.
Obviously, sharing office space has disadvantages, such as a lack of privacy and cramped quarters. True coworking — sharing a desk in a common room — is only appropriate for certain kinds of businesses.
Self-employed professionals who deal in confidential information, such as attorneys and accountants, generally need their own space, although a micro-office might be adequate if it offers privacy and secure storage of documents, Hughes said.
Many people working out of shared spaces relish the connection with other people.
Mike Costanza, who works on the website for Bandsintown, a startup in the HiveHaus, sits at one of several desks his company reserves on the mezzanine level of the building on 11th Avenue in San Diego. "It's much more productive than working from home," he said.
The company's website, bandsintown.com, allows music fans to track performances by their favorite artists. Costanza and his colleagues are within earshot of other businesses, but none are competitors, he said. "It's not real secret stuff where we need private rooms," said Costanza, 26.
Kristian Rauhala moved his startup to a micro-office in CedrosWorks in September after working out of his garage with frequent interruptions from his two children. "The productivity goes down ... and being by yourself, you start bouncing off the walls," he said.
He pays $370 a month to use a desk to operate his company, Ohmlop, which sells eco-friendly computer cables to reduce toxic e-waste. "As a small company, you don't want to start in a big office space," he said.
There are also options for those who travel frequently, or those who only need a desk for a few hours a week. Many of the coworking spaces have daily, weekly or monthly rates, and the company Regus offers access to some 1,000 fully equipped offices around the world.

An independent poll by the U.S. Gaming Survey showed that 58% out of 245 respondents from New Jersey would still visit casinos in Atlantic City despite the legalization of online gambling in the state. "From the results of this poll, residents in New Jersey and other U.S. states do not indicate that the impending online gaming will cannibalize land-based casino interests or revenue and will possibly mildly increase it," said Larry Gibbs, vice president for marketing at U.S. Gaming Survey.

Sunderland have struggled for goals for much of the season and are without top-scorer Steven Fletcher for the rest of the campaign because of injury.
Eleven-goal striker Fletcher's season was ended before the Italian succeeded Martin O'Neill at the Stadium of Light and January recruit Danny Graham has yet to score for his new club.
But the Italian believes the likes of Adam Johnson, James McClean and Sebastian Larsson can contribute more in the attacking third.
"It will help to create more chances," said Di Canio, whose side are three points above the relegation zone after their 3-0 win over Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear derby.
"People like Johnson, who in the past used to run 70 yards with the ball and then arrive at the edge of the box and be empty in the legs without the chance to strike - maybe now there will be a chance that sometimes he can get the ball near the box and use his talent and maybe strike on goal.
"It's exactly the same on the other side with James (McClean) or Sebastian (Larsson).
"From the middle, one midfield player always has to attack the edge of the box so with a rebound, we are not 60 yards or 40 yards from the goal, we are close.
"The mechanism and the system will help this team to cancel out the fact that we don't have a top scorer who can turn the game on his own.
"In any instance near the box, we are going to find a way to score, I am sure.
"The fitness has grown a bit and the belief is higher that we are going to score enough goals to stay up."

The trial for the two men who allegedly planned to kidnap and kill Joss Stone in June 2011 took a macabre turn yesterday after the jury was told of their plans to behead the singer.
The two men allegedly planned on beheading Joss Stone. Copyright [Rex]
Kevin Liverpool, 35, and Junior Bradshaw, 32, are currently on trial after they were allegedly stopped near the singer's home with a Samurai sword, hammers and a knife.
According to the prosecutors, notes were also found amongst the weapons which threatened to 'decapitate' the 25-year-old singer- branding her 'she-devil in the flesh'.
Other notes read 'Jocelyn RIP', 'find a river to dump her', 'look for jewellery box' and anti royal messages.
Joss' connection to the royal family include singing at several charity gigs held by the family as well as attending Kate Middleton and William Windsor's wedding.
Prosecutor Simon Morgan QC told the jury: "The documents appear to express disapproval of the Royal family and the Queen.
"Joss Stone associates with members of the Royal family — her concerts have been attended by members of it and she was invited to the Royal wedding.
Joss had attended Kate and William's wedding. Copyright [Rex]
"The defendants didn't like that and made remarks about the Queen. Hence she becomes a target. The documents express their hatred of her.
"With this arsenal of weapons it is obvious they were intent upon serious violence. The intended target is Joss Stone — their intention was to rob and kill her."
Seriously scary stuff.
The pair were taken in by the police after residents became suspicious of the men after getting lost on their way to Joss' Devon house.
Both of the defendants deny conspiracy to murder, conspiracy to commit GBH and conspiracy to rob.
The trial continues.

It's All Go For Open Source Events
Open Source events tend to be rather spread out across the year. linux.conf.au starts things off in January, followed by Linux Journal staff favorite Penguicon in May, two of the major yearly conferences in July, the Linux Symposium and O'Reilly's OSCON, the new but integral Linux Plumber's Conference in September, and wrapping it all up, the Linux Congress in October. Added to that, just days from now, is the inaugural LinuxCon and the Geek High Holy Day, Software Freedom Day.
If you've been following along for the past few months, then it will come as little surprise that the date for LinuxCon is closing fast. Beginning this coming Monday, geeks from all corners of geekdom will descend on Portland to learn about Linux straight from the mouths of the masters, including a beardless Bdale Garbee, Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth, and the man himself, Linus Torvalds. They schedule also includes the obligatory sessions and seminars, networking opportunities, discounted certification exams, a Penguin-based bowling tournament fundraiser, and the (melo)dramatic unmasking of the Fake Linuses Torvalds.
For those looking to get in on the fun, there is much that can still be done. Though the Early Bird rate has flown the coop, standard registration is still available for $499, with a 30% discount for Linux Foundation members. (Thats a $50 savings — $150 off the conference price minus the $100 membership fee.) Those pursuing higher education can avail themselves of the $199 student rate, as well. Likewise, those interested in the training courses on the schedule — September 19 - 20 — can still register and receive a 20% discount off the $1099 registration fee.
Before the festivities begin in Portland, however, is the all-important Software Freedom Day, arriving this Sunday, September 20th. Advocates around the world will be spreading the word of the wonders of Open Source with all manner of events, from small local gatherings to nationwide gatherings. One such gathering is the New Zealand celebration, a free celebration convening at the Wellington Convention Centre in Wellington on Sunday from 9:00AM - 5:00PM. Event organizers have planned a festival for all ages, including an introduction to programming and Barcamp for those of primary-school age, sessions for older students on careers in the tech industry and the job-enhancing aspects of Open Source expertise.
The always-popular Install Fest, a staple of SFD celebrations, will be underway, with users having the opportunity to have Open Source software installed on their systems, with expert assistance and advice as well as popular Open Source applications available to take home. Those with a love of code can participate in the SuperHappyDevHouse/One Laptop Per Child/DigitalNZ-sponsored Hackfest, which will also include demonstrations of OLPC systems by the OLPC team. And, of course, what would a gigantic gathering be without vendors — locals using Open Source in their work will be showing off their crafts, gadgetry, and other goods in the Makerspace.
Full details on the event, including the official schedule, are available from the New Zealand Software Freedom Day website. Interested parties can register on the SFD site — though the event is free, organizers need some idea of how much food and space will be needed.
Memories of the event may spark a bit of déjà vu in local residents come January, as Wellington will be home to the 2010 linux.conf.au.
Justin Ryan is a Contributing Editor for Linux Journal.
Free registration at the Ohio LinuxFest
As far as I know, the Ohio LinuxFest is the largest free admission open source event. You don't pay to register at your lug so you don't have to pay for this uber-interlug-gathering!
It's All Go For Open Source Events
Woah, WHOA there!
You missed the best Linux conference on the east coast. The Ohio Linux Fest (http://ohiolinux.org) which happens just a few short days away on Sept 25/6/7th. Having been to many many other conferences, where this one stands out is it is a very community driven event. This is great stuff and if you are anywhere near the eastern U.S. you are doing yourself a disservice not to attend!

Powder Coatings Market Is Expected to Reach USD 10.5 Billion in 2018 : Transparency Market Research

Browse the full report at http://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/powder-coatings-market.html.
Albany, New York (PRWEB) June 29, 2013
According to a new market report published by Transparency Market Research "Powder Coatings Market for Automotive, Electronics, Architectural and Industrial Applications – Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2012 – 2018," the global powder coatings demand was 1,680.0 kilo tons in 2011 and is expected to reach 2,667.6 kilo tons in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2012 to 2018. In terms of revenue, the market was valued at USD 6.5 billion in 2011 and is expected to reach USD 10.5 billion in 2018, growing at a CAGR of 7.2% from 2012 to 2018.
Related Report : Water Soluble Fertilizers Market
Developing economies of BRICS members has led to an increasing demand for consumer goods such as appliances, automobiles and furniture. In addition, support for the use of powder coatings by authorized environmental agencies such as EPA and REACH is another major factor responsible for the growing demand for powder coatings. However, powder coatings have a few application and design difficulties such as application of very thin coats, thin films inside corners and uneven thickness of coating at edges. In addition, pigmented powders cannot be blended to form different colors. These factors are expected to hamper the growth of the powder coatings market over the forecast period.
Related Report : Synthetic Rubber Market
Appliances were the largest application segment for powder coatings, accounting for over 20% of the consumption in 2011. Powder coatings demand from automotives is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 7% during the next five years due to the rising demand of automobiles, both in terms of original equipment as well as spare parts across the world.
Asia Pacific is the largest and fastest growing market for powder coatings, consuming over 700 kilo tons of powder in 2011. Emerging end user industries in economies such as Brazil and South Africa are expected to further add to the demand for powder coatings.

Key participants in the powder coatings market include AkzoNobel, PPG Industries, Sherwin – Williams, DuPont, BASF and Valspar among others. The report profiles the above mentioned companies along with their detailed market share analysis.
The report also includes a comprehensive analysis of the powder coatings market in terms of volume and revenue. In addition, the study covers the demand forecast of each application in various regions such as North America, Europe, Asia Pacific and Rest of World.

An Aurora man in the crosshairs of a multistate terrorism investigation is meeting with federal agents today for a second day of questioning.
Najibullah Zazi, the 24-year-old airport-shuttle driver who has become the focal point in the investigation, arrived with his lawyer at the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Denver headquarters shortly after 2 p.m. today.
Zazi's attorney, Art Folsom, said agents were cordial and professional during 8½ hours of questioning yesterday, and he said he had no reason to believe Zazi, who has proclaimed his innocence, would be arrested.
"We are here to continue our cooperation," Folsom said outside the FBI's offices. "It's our intent to clear any suspicion."

- Watch video as the FBI raids suspected apartments in New York on Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2009.
Round two of questioning comes just one day after agents executed search warrants at Zazi's apartment near East Smoky Hill Road and E-470 and at the nearby home of Zazi's aunt and uncle.
There has been no word today regarding what, if anything, agents recovered in those searches. Folsom said that had agents found anything suspicious, Zazi would not be a free man.
"Do you really think the FBI would have allowed us out of here last night?" he asked.
Folsom said the FBI has requested that he not reveal what they are interrogating Zazi about, but he said the two agents in the meeting Wednesday asked detailed questions seeking "significant information."
Last night, Zazi didn't emerge from the Byron G. Rogers Federal Building until after 10:30 p.m. At that time, Folsom said Zazi had answered all of the FBI's questions except one.
"The one I asked him not to answer was just because I'm an overprotective lawyer," Folsom said. "I didn't know the answer, and I didn't want to find out sitting there."
He said Zazi may answer that question when he returns today.
Zazi's departure last night from the federal building ended a day of deepening activity in the case, which reports suggest is focused on a possible plot involving hydrogen-peroxide-based explosives concealed in backpacks.
Denver FBI spokeswoman Kathleen Wright would not disclose specifics about what agents were looking for in Wednesday's raids or what led them to scrutinize Zazi. Search-warrant documents are not yet publicly available, and it is unclear whether authorities will move to seal them after a 10-day window in which they are generally kept private.
Multiple news organizations, citing anonymous sources, have reported that the case is focused on possible al-Qaeda linked individuals and a bombmaking plot.
Zazi repeatedly has denied being involved with terrorism or bombmaking.
Federal officials stepped up their investigation after Zazi rented a car Sept. 9 in Colorado and drove to New York. He said he was traveling there to deal with an issue over a coffee cart that his family owns in Manhattan. While he was in New York, police stopped him on a bridge leading into the city and searched the rental car. They later towed the vehicle.
Zazi flew back to Colorado and learned about the raids in Queens after friends called him.

I was thinking about my mom and I painted the "Mother and daughter" painting. It's about special bond between them.
And the other one (first one) is about Zagorje, a place where I live now in Croatia. It use to be a place with a lot of small village houses with thatched roofs, where people dressed in the folk costume when it is Sunday.

Alternative photography - gum oli and gum bichromate - Lidija Ivanek SiLa
First one is a photograph made by gum bichromate process and watercolor paints, while a second one is made with oil paints - gumoil process.
And for the last photograph posted today, it is a gum bichromate process of developing photography with pigments that was homemade. I used soot from my chimney to make the paint.
In short, that is what I have been up to lately :)

Monotypes - landscape on a new/old way
As I work with alternative photography, so it happens that I found all that different sorts of paper very lovable. One lead to another and now I am researching different methods to produce my images with a graphic press, without a press but in the domain of graphic arts, etc. Now my paintings are catching up with my photographs and vice versa. Today I am posting my monotype paintings, done with oils on a 300gr cold pressed paper.
Monotyping is a type of printmaking made by drawing or painting on a smooth, non-absorbent surface. The image from the surface, or matrix is then transferred onto a sheet of paper by pressing the two together, usually using a printing-press. Monotyping produces a unique print, or monotype; most of the ink is removed during the initial pressing.
It is a process of making original, one of a kind artwork with effect of surprise.
I use glass as a matrix on which I paint with an oil paints, mixed to desired shades and colors.
Through Fine Art America one can buy my monotype reproductions and an original is obtainable directly from me. Contact me for details.

Zagorec - modern rural painting Lidija Ivanek SiLa
acrylic on board
Lidija Ivanek SiLa
It is the view.
It is the region that I live in.
It is the wrong side of the mountain (knowing that I am born on the other side).
It is the feeling when standing on the hills looking down.
It is something that every Croat knows,
a piece of land, a motherland, something that we are always strive to come back to.
Modern colorful rural painting of a villager on top of the hill looking his country with a sense of pride and love with a pinch of humor.

In a system for loading, processing and unloading substrates, a carrier has a bottom and a plurality of slots to receive a plurality of substrates for processing in a reactor. The reactor is tubular and has an inlet opening to receive the carrier loaded with substrates. A handling robot loads and unloads the substrates to and from the carrier when the carrier is located outside the reactor. A rotatable base plate supports the carrier and moves the carrier between a first position in proximity of the handling robot and a second position in proximity of the reactor. A lifting device introduces and removes the carrier in and from the reactor by lifting and lowering the carrier from and to the base plate when the carrier is in the second position. A door plate is coupled to the lifting device and to the bottom of the carrier. The door plate closes the inlet opening of the reactor when the carrier is introduced in the reactor and seals the reactor during processing. A coupling mechanism acts upon the bottom of the carrier and through the door plate to thereby rotate the carrier when the carrier is introduced in the reactor so that the substrates are uniformly processed. A drive motor is stationarily arranged and activates the coupling mechanism to rotate the carrier when the carrier is introduced in the reactor.
1. A system for loading, processing and unloading substrates, comprising:
a carrier having a bottom and a plurality of slots to receive a plurality of substrates for processing in a reactor, wherein the reactor is tubular and has an inlet opening to receive said carrier loaded with said substrates;
a handling robot configured to load and unload said substrates to and from said carrier when said carrier is located outside said reactor;
a rotatable base plate configured to support said carrier and to move said carrier between a first position in proximity of said handling robot and a second position in proximity of said reactor;
a lifting device configured to introduce and remove said carrier in and from said reactor by lifting and lowering said carrier from and to the base plate when the carrier is in said second position;
a door plate configured to be coupled to said lifting device and to said bottom of said carrier, said door plate further configured to close the inlet opening of said reactor when said carrier is introduced in said reactor and to seal said reactor during processing;
a coupling mechanism configured to act upon said bottom of said carrier and through said door plate to thereby rotate said carrier when said carrier is introduced in said reactor so that said substrates are uniformly processed; and
a drive motor stationarily arranged and configured to activate said coupling mechanism to rotate said carrier when said carrier is introduced in said reactor.

5. The system according to
The present invention relates to a system for loading, processing and unloading substrates, such as wafers, which are arranged on a carrier in a reactor, such as an oven comprising feed means for the said substrates, a transport surface, such as a turntable, an introduction device for the said reactor as well as removal means for the said substrates.
A system of this kind is known from U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,449 in the name of Zinger. In the structure described in that patent, at most three carriers (boats) are arranged on a rotary table. A carrier is situated in front of the gaslock which seals off the chamber in which the reactor is arranged from the environment. Wafers are fed through this gaslock to a carrier placed in front of it. After the carrier has been filled, it is moved on one position to beneath an oven and placed in the oven using a lifting device. Processing then takes place in the oven and after the lifting device has removed the carrier and replaced it on the transport surface, i.e. the turntable, the carrier with wafers is allowed to cool. The carrier is then moved to a following position and is again situated in front of the gaslock, where it can be emptied and refilled.
In this way, the actual processing time in the oven determines the passage in the system, i.e. there is sufficient time while processing a carrier in the over to allow another carrier to be unloaded and reloaded whale a subsequent carrier, with the wafers present therein, is allowed to cool gradually under optimum conditions.
In this way, it is possible to achieve a particularly high capacity for a single oven.
Although a system of this kind is advantageous, for certain applications it is moreover required that the heat distribution through the wafers be as uniform as possible during the processing in the oven while, moreover, an optimum distribution of the process gas becomes critical. In order to satisfy these various requirements, it is proposed to arrange the wafers, together with the carrier, in a rotating manner. With the structure according to the U.S. Pat. No. 5,421,892 this causes a handling problem.
The object of the present invention is, in the system according to the U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,449, to arrange the carriers rotatably in the oven while the complex fixed connection between carrier and the electric motor, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,421,892, is avoided.
This object is achieved in a system as described above in that said carrier is provided with a door plate for the said reactor being connected to said carrier, a fixedly arranged drive motor being present for rotational movement of the said carrier, as well as coupling means for bringing about and interrupting the said rotating connection between drive motor and carrier.
The invention is based on the idea of not connecting the door plate to the lifting device permanently, as in U.S. Pat. No. 5,421,892. In the device according to the invention, the door plate with carrier is provided with semiconductor wafers before it is introduced into the oven, and then the unit filled in this way is introduced into the oven using the known lifting device, coupling taking place in any form using a rotating connection. The unit comprising carrier and door plate is then removed from the oven and allowed to cool, and subsequently the carrier is emptied. However, in the meantime, a door plate/carrier unit which has meanwhile been filled can be placed in the oven. In this way, it is possible to work particularly quickly and efficiently. Owing to the longer residence time of the door plate outside the oven, the door plate will heat up less rapidly and there is less need for drastic measures to be taken in order to ensure that there is a seal between oven and door plate.
The rotary drive of the carrier can basically be realized in two ways. Firstly, the carrier may be arranged in a rotary manner in the door plate, as is known per se from U.S. Pat. No. 5,421,892. The carrier is then driven by coupling to the lifting means which move the door plate with carrier into the oven and in which lifting means there is a rotary drive for the carrier. This rotary drive may even be arranged outside the chamber in which the processing operations take place.
According to another approach, the door plate is arranged rotatably in the oven and after it has been closed against the oven the door plate is set in rotary motion. In this case, of course, the carrier is mounted in a fixed position in the door plate.
The invention will be explained in more detail below with reference to two exemplary embodiments which are depicted in the drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 in general shows the way in which semiconductor substrates are loaded, processed and unloaded according to a first embodiment of the invention;
FIG. 2 diagrammatically shows partially in section, a side view of the door plate-carrier unit in accordance with FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 shows a top view of the arm in accordance with FIG. 2,
FIG. 4 shows a side view in accordance with FIG. 2; and
FIG. 5 diagrammatically shows a second embodiment of the device according to the invention.
In FIG. 1, 1 denotes an oven. The opening 4 opens into a housing which is indicated by dot-dashed line 13. A specific atmosphere, for example an inert N2 atmosphere, can be maintained inside this housing. 2 denotes a door plate which can be moved upwards in the direction of arrow 5 with the aid of a lifting device 12, which is provided with an arm 11, so that the door plate 2, with the carrier 3, which is provided with wafers 14, arranged on it, can be moved into the oven. Door plate 2 is positioned on a base plate 15, which can rotate as indicated by arrow 16. 51 denotes a handling robot which is placed in a different chamber, the shielding of which is indicated by dot-dashed lines 17. Chambers 13 and 17 can be connected to one another via an gaslock. Robot 51 forms part of a cluster arrangement. Reference is made in this connection for example to the U.S. Pat. No. 5,407,449.
The various positions of the door plate 2 with carrier 3 are indicated in FIG. 1 by A, B and C. In position A, the carrier 3 is empty and is being filled with wafers 14. Then, base plate 15 is rotated, so that position A-B, etc. After that, the carrier 3 in question, together with door plate 2, is moved upwards until it reaches the underside of the oven 1, whereupon the wafers are processed. This may involve any processing operation known in the prior art. The carrier with wafers and door plate is then removed from the oven, placed on base plate 15 and this base plate 15 is moved on one position. In position C, the wafers can cool while the next carrier, which meanwhile has been filled, is placed in the oven together with the door plate. In a subsequent position, the carrier can be emptied and new wafers can be placed in the carrier.
FIG. 2 shows details of the door plate/carrier unit. From this figure it can be seen that the door plate 2 is provided with two bearings 7 which are at a distance apart and between which there extends a shaft 10 which is connected to the bottom plate 37 of carrier 3. 18 denotes seals, and a channel 19 is present between the seals 18, which channel is evacuated in order to discharge any gases leaking past the upper seal 18. It is also possible to blow gases into channel 19. On the underside, shaft 10 is provided with a flange 20 which is provided with a coupling pin 41.
Rotation of flange 20 with respect to door plate 2 can be blocked with the aid of locking arm 46 (FIG. 3). The latter is shown both in the blocked position (continuous lines) and in the unblocked position (dot-dashed lines). As can be seen from FIGS. 2 and 3, arm 11 is provided in the region of the free and with a rotatably arranged plate 42 which is driven with the aid of a toothed belt 43. Toothed belt 43 engages, in a manner which is not illustrated in more detail, on a toothed wheel which is arranged on splined shaft 44 and is driven with the aid of a motor 6, which is shown in FIG. 4. On coupling, pin 41 engages in a groove 45, thus producing a rotary drive using flange 20. The unlocking of locking arm 46 is controlled by means of actuating rod 47 which is shown in FIG. 3. Correct operation is monitored by a monitoring rod 48, which acts on a sensor which is not shown in further detail.
If door plate 2 is removed from arm 11, the fact that actuating rod 47 is not in operation means that after a certain degree of rotation shaft 10 and door plate 2 will always be coupled, so that the carrier is coupled in a rotationally fixed manner to this door plate. The actuating rod 47 is actuated pneumatically with the aid of cylinder 49. Three resilient support legs 50 are present on arm 11 for supporting the stationary part of the door plate. There is a seal 52 which provides for sealing with respect to the underside of the oven. Due to the fact that subatmospheric pressure is often used, a seal of this nature can be relatively simple to realize, setting aside the high temperatures occurring.
FIG. 5 shows a variant of the structure according to the invention. In this figure, the oven is indicated by 21 and in this design carrier 23 and cover 22 are fixedly connected to one another. Connection to the arm 30 of the lifting device can be achieved via a relatively simple pivot ball 25 or the like. The edge of the opening 4 of the oven is provided with a bearing 27. This comprises an upper ring 28 and a lower ring 29. In this case, the support 53 of the lower ring is provided with toothing 32 which is acted on by a toothed wheel 33 of a motor 26. Support 53 is provided with a sealing ring 34 facing towards cover 22. Moreover, a seal 35 is present between support 53 and the oven 21. By moving arm 30 upwards, cover 22 is placed against inner ring 53 and the subatmospheric pressure produced automatically pulls the cover against this ring. Rotation can be achieved with the aid of motor 26.
It can be seen from the above that in both embodiments the motor 6 or 26 can beheld outside the clean room, so that dust produced by wear remains outside this room.
It can also be seen from the above that numerous variants of the inventive idea relating to the permanent coupling between carrier and door plate are possible. Obviously, variants of this kind lie within the scope of the present application.

Try American favourites at this new restaurant at Thiruvananthapuram
With Chinese, Indian and fast food ruling the dining scene in the city, a joint that serves food that one finds in an American diner comes as a fresh change.
The newly opened restaurant with limited seating called 1976 Once Upon A Time, has no parathas with beef curry or fried rice with chilli chicken on the menu. Instead, there are thick, juicy burgers and tall, frothy milkshakes. And no, there are no salads or 'health' food for the calorie conscious.
Not feeling particularly hungry but curious to try out the dishes, my friends and I order a plate of Chilly Cheese Fries (Rs. 80), Chicken Fingers (Rs. 150), Juicy Lucy (Rs. 140) and The 76 Roll (Rs. 125) although there are a host of other dishes with interesting names such as Tatsuta Chicken Burger, Curry Wurst, and Chimichanga. Although I wanted to try The Italian Hot Dog (sausage, cheese, mayonnaise, tomato, barbecue sauce and caramelised onion), my waiter disappoints me by saying that the order of 'special' buns used for the hot dogs have yet to come.
While waiting for our food, we take in the décor, which is rather curious. It's neither a garden themed restaurant nor a diner. The day's news fills the night air from an antique radio, which the waiter thankfully turns off as the volume was rather high. A gramophone and a couple of black and white photographs help create an old world look to a certain extent. Our paper placemats have a brief write-up on how burgers came by.
The food comes piping hot to our table. The Chilly Cheese Fries has long strips of crisp French fries, covered with curried meat and strips of cheese. The dish is a fusion of flavours, though one wishes that the fries had a bit of salt in it and the curried gravy, less of spices. The lack of salt in the fries is forgiven when one scoops it with the curried meat and melting cheese.
The Chicken Fingers is passable: thick strips of boneless chicken dipped in batter and fried. While the outer coating is crisp, the chicken could have done with a bit of seasoning. Expecting something resembling a sausage roll, we are pleasantly surprised when our waiter brings us the 76 Roll. It is a wrap with pieces of chicken, mayonnaise, lettuce and caramelised onion. It is served with a helping of fries and a glass of fizz of our choice. The pate for the Juicy Lucy burger is juicy but the burger bun merely passé. Although I want to try the fried ice cream, as none of my friends are willing to risk their waist lines, I decide against it.

† Appearances (Goals).
Hans "Hennes" Weisweiler (5 December 1919 in Lechenich, Rhine Province – 5 July 1983 in Zürich, Switzerland) was a German footballer and coach.
With 11 titles, 8 thereof with German clubs, he is one of the most successful coaches of all time. But his influence went well beyond. At the German Sports Academy in Cologne he was between 1957 and 1970 responsible for the training of hundreds of coaches from all over the world. In 2005, the training centre for coaches there was named in his honour Hennes-Weisweiler-Academy.[1]
His work will remain most closely associated with the fortunes of Borussia Mönchengladbach in the 1960s and 70s and 1. FC Köln in the 1950s and the second half of the 1970s. He is also famous for having unearthed the talents of many outstanding football players, such as Günter Netzer, Berti Vogts, Jupp Heynckes, Rainer Bonhof, Allan Simonsen, Uli Stielike, and many more.
From player to coach in Cologne[edit]
After 1. FC Köln was founded in 1948, Weisweiler featured in the first ever line up of the club. After the club was promoted in 1949 into the western division of the then five ways split West-German first division (Oberliga), he was given the role of player manager. In this position, which he held until 1952 he played himself still 62 times in the league.
In 1955, he returned to the club for another three years as head coach, but left in 1958 to join local rivals Viktoria Köln, which also played in the Oberliga, but the club remained in the shadow of the 1. FC. After the foundation of the Bundesliga in 1963, Viktoria played in the second German division and with place four achieved its best ever ranking in the last year of Weisweiler's reign of the club.
Years in Mönchengladbach[edit]
In 1964 he took over as manager with Borussia Mönchengladbach. The club still held relatively fresh memories from its one and only major title, the win in the German cup of 1960, but found itself after the inception of the Bundesliga in the second division where it finished just eighth in the previous year.
But he found a team with some exciting local talent, such as the 19 year old Günter Netzer and Jupp Heynckes. Also Bernd Rupp and Herbert Laumen were notable and should at a later stage also feature in the national team. Inside a year Borussia ended on top of the league and gained promotion to the Bundesliga.
With the beginning of the new season another remarkable 19 year old was to join the team: Berti Vogts. But the first years in the Bundesliga remained learning years. Despite the later addition of another talented man named Herbert Wimmer, Borussia only achieved the 13th and eighth places in the league. In its third year the club grabbed for the first time the attention of a wider audience and finished third, despite losing Heynckes to Hannover 96. The team, by now famed for their attacking style, managed to repeat this success in the following year. At the beginning of the 1969–70 season, they were even widely tipped as being the holders Bayern Munich's main rival for the Championship, even more so as the defense could be strengthened, e.g., with international Ludwig Müller, and the attack reinforced with the addition of Danish international Ulrik Le Fevre. Most important however was that the talents like Horst Köppel, himself a Borussia coach in decades to come, had reached sufficient maturity to hold their own on the highest level. Decisive was also Weisweiler's ability to find and add further gifted young players seemingly at will. This "youth culture" eventually gave Borussia the nickname they still carry today: the Foals.
Indeed, by the end of the year the team was champion for the first time and another twelve months later the club from the small town became the first side in Bundesliga history to defend the title. With a 4–1 away win in Frankfurt the Borussia could fend of a late Bayern challenge on the last matchday.
Their first European Champions Cup participation ended in the second round when after two 1–1 draws with Everton Borussia lacked the necessary luck in the penalty shoot-out. This was unfortunate. Their second challenge ended in heartbreak. This time Helenio Herrera's catenaccio specialists Inter Milan came to visit the Bökelberg stadium. After 90 minutes an unstoppable Borussia had wiped them off 7–1! But, during the course of the match Inter's Roberto Boninsegna was allegedly hit by an empty soft drink can and had himself spectacularly stretchered off. There was no real evidence of this fact apart from an empty drink can being presented to the referee and some accompanying words from Inter officials. Despite this, UEFA annulled the match and had it repeated after the return match on neutral ground in Berlin. Inter won the return match against a Borussia seemingly shocked by this decision with 4–2 and managed to defend a 0–0 in the Berlin match.
Also in the Bundesliga it was not the year of the Foals. Only three days after the initial triumph against Inter they defeated the surprise team of the season and vice-champion in the making, Schalke 04, dashingly with 7–0, but Bayern Munich got the title and Borussia ended up third. Before the season, Borussia had to let Dietrich, Horst Köppel and Herbert Laumen go and thus all parts of the team were crucially weakened, as new talents such Rainer Bonhof and Dietmar Danner were not yet in a position to fill the gaps.
The 1972–73 season saw a further restructuring of the team. This time experienced players such as Ulrik Le Fevre left the club. New to the team were two young Danish forwards: Henning Jensen and Allan Simonsen. Whilst the first one made an immediate impact, the 19 year old diminutive lightweight Simonsen was immediately regarded a dud by everyone who had an opportunity to see him in one of his rare appearances. Weisweiler's expressions of belief in the player where met with general disbelief. Only five years later Simonsen should be Europe's Player of the Year and history regards him these days as the greatest player ever from Denmark.
However, the season was overshadowed by the first great conflict of Weisweiler with his star. Günter Netzer was alongside his club mates Herbert Wimmer and Jupp Heynckes part of the stunning German side that won the 1972 European Championship in Belgium, and many thought he was this tournaments most glamorous player. Essentially, in Weisweiler's teams, if there was a star it was supposed to be him. The conflict ended in divorce and a few weeks before the end of the season Netzer's departure to Real Madrid was announced. There was still one important match to go: the cup final in Düsseldorf, not just against anyone, but Weisweiler's original club 1. FC Köln. The atmosphere was highly emotionally charged. The coach left Netzer on the bench. Nevertheless, the match evolved into probably the greatest of all German cup finals. Despite a temperature of 35° both teams played fully devoted to attack, but on both sides the keepers, Borussia's Wolfgang Kleff and Cologne's Gerhard Welz performed absolute world class, the latter even saving a penalty by Heynckes in the second half. In the short break before extra time Netzer stepped on the field and approached the exhausted Kulik and told him that his match is over and put himself into the team. When the referee restarted the match Netzer, in his first possession of the ball, scored the stunning, unforgettable winner for Borussia after a give and go with Bonhof. Thus ended one of football's great associations – the sour end of it probably also being a factor why Borrussia only ended up fifth in the league that season.
Interpersonal issues out of the way, Weisweiler had more time again for team building. This paid off when a consolidated Borussia ended the 1973–74 season second. Again, Weisweiler managed to infuse new talent into his side, Uli Stielike being probably the most remarkable in this phase. He ended up later in Netzer's footsteps at Real Madrid.
The new-found harmony also helped Weisweiler to a formidable farewell season. With 86 goals, never before and never again achieved by the club, the team cruised to the championship. To boot, Borussia got also their first international title when after a disappointing 0–0 draw at home FC Twente from Enschede was wiped off 5–1 in the second leg of the UEFA Cup final. Thus ended an exciting eleven years of Weisweiler in Mönchengladbach, a time in which he undelibly engraved the club in German and even European football history, a time in which Borussia Mönchengladbach spilled out first class talents in an unrivalled fashion.
FC Barcelona[edit]
Weisweiler moved after eleven years in Mönchengladbach in the summer of 1975 to the Spanish top club Barcelona. His predecessor Rinus Michels returned after four years with the Catalans back to Amsterdam. When asked why he would leave Mönchengladbach at the height of his influence and success, he said in an interview: "I have shaped a team with my style. Now I'll try to enforce it in Spain."[2]
With FC Barcelona and the Dutch Stars Cruyff and Johan Neeskens he wanted to achieve his aim, to win the European Champions Cup. But right from day one, Cruyff and Weisweiler were in a "state of war". "Weisweiler is not the manager of my choice", stated the Dutch playmaker, who guessed that he would get under Weisweiler apparently not the kind of freedom to play as he was used to.
