Theory of Josephson effect in Sr2RuO4/diffusive normal metal/Sr2RuO4 junctions
Sawa, Y. and Yokoyama, T. and Tanaka, Y. and Golubov, A.A. (2007) Theory of Josephson effect in Sr2RuO4/diffusive normal metal/Sr2RuO4 junctions. Physica C: Superconductivity, 463-465 . pp. 997-1000. ISSN 0921-4534

Abstract: | We derive a generalized Nazarov's boundary condition for diffusive normal metal (DN)/chiral p-wave superconductor (CP) interface including the macroscopic phase of the superconductor. The Josephson effect is studied in CP/DN/CP junctions solving the Usadel equations under the above boundary condition. We find that, enhancement of a critical current at low temperature is small compared with that in px-wave /DN/px-wave junctions. As a result, temperature dependence of the critical current in these junctions is similar to that in conventional junctions. The result is consistent with the experiment in Sr2RuO4–Sr3RuO7 eutectic junctions. Similar feature is also found in current–phase relation. |

Secret 7"
Anyone who's familiar with the RCA's Secret Postcard exhibition and sale will be familiar with this concept, but this time round it's record sleeves. Seven tracks from seven well-known bands and artists are each pressed 100 times into 7" singles, then creatives from around the world illustrate the cover artwork for one of the seven tracks, resulting in a very limited-edition piece of art that you can own, for the reasonable sum of £50. All 700 sleeves on show will go on sale on May 4, with song and artist both being kept secret until the purchase. Tempted? You should be especially when all profits going to charity Nordoff Robbins. Artists this year include Sir Peter Blake, Yoko Ono, Sir Paul Smith, Sam Taylor-Johnson, Bob & Roberta Smith, Tatty Devine, Pure Evil, Stanley Donwood and Goldie.
Read moreThe EY Exhibition: Sonia Delaunay
This major survey concentrates on Sonia Delaunay's unrestricted approach to creativity that encompassed painting, fashion, textiles, tapestry and mosaic. Her abstract compositions that incorporated a kaleidoscopic palette and contrasting shapes were inspired by her formative years growing up in Russia as well as the years spent in Spain and Portugal during the WWI. Through multiple economic crises (Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Wall Street crash in 1929) and the heartache of her husband's death, Sonia pursued a purely aesthetic career experimenting with colour that has injected a spirited vibrancy into the canon of art.

Carsten Höller
Let's give one almighty holler for the Hayward's final exhibition before they close for two years of renovation work. The Belgian artist, whose background in biology has informed and inspired his practice that challenges our perceptive boundaries, will have his first UK retrospective. He's filled the Tate's Turbine Hall with slides, placed giant replica mushrooms onto gallery ceilings and turned last year's Gagosian Frieze stand into a children's playground. Covering the last 20 years of the Stockholm-based artist's work, which has truly put participation into art, we're expecting a rip-roaring presentation of fun-filled, hands-on exhibits.

The last time there was a major retrospective of Barbara Hepworth's work in London, the First Lady of British modernism attended herself (we're hoping she wore her fabulous fur coat). That was in 1968. Forty-odd years later, Tate Britain's summer 2015 show looks to reassess the reputation of this sculptor of famously holey forms who, thanks in part to her beautifully preserved studio in St Ives, is forever associated with Cornwall, where she lived from 1939 until her death in 1975. The show includes carvings and sculptures in wood, stone and bronze, along with drawings, collages, textiles and experimental photogram works.

The room
Noisey room next to lobby,left for 3 hrs due to smoke and soot from fire on hill behind hotel that was taken care of at 10 pm after burning all day.$xxx and still had to get my own drinks. U have to also pay extra if you want Wi-Fi. Food OK not great
Close to town and airport.quiet.
No hot water.no ice.
Location is good
I booked here because of the included breakfast but they charged me $13 for coffee and a me two grilled cheese, most of the menue was unavailable as the only opened the restaurant when I asked for the breakfast
Staff was quite good, except for cleaning staff who when ask for wash clothes or hand towels and were apprehensive or were not giving at all..
Beach area was terrible compare to all the beautiful beaches around the immediate area, definitely rent a car to explore more of Costa Rica.
He staff is amazing!
The rooms are very basic, and in need of remodeling. Wifi is horrible. Do not plan for the wifi to always be available.
The beach.
Totally miffed by the online reviews & price compared to other all-inclusives there. If you have been to a great all-incl like Iberostar you will be completely disappointed. So glad my entire stay in country was not here. Too many negatives & not enough room here to write. Opened the door to our room & was hit with stinch of dead vermin & realized could see directly thru ceiling vent into roof rafters & smell was coming FR there. Could've been nice at one time but not kept up.
It was a nice looking hotel. Average rooms. Average food. We did see a good bit of wildlife on the property.
We were in the last room on the property from the main hotel. They could have been more generous with mini bar soda and water and beer.

On Monday, February 3, and Tuesday, February 4, the Senate Banking and Senate Judiciary Committees (respectively) held hearings on the topic of data security and breach notification. Witnesses at both hearings included representatives from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the U.S. Secret Service, Target, Neiman Marcus and security firms such as Symantec.
On Monday, the Senate Banking Committee's Subcommittee on National Security and International Trade and Finance held a hearing entitled "Safeguarding Consumers' Financial Data." The hearing focused on the criminal hacking of consumers' financial data, including payment card information. Witnesses from the FTC and U.S. Secret Service outlined the existing investigative tools and enforcement authority to deal with these types of crimes. Jessica Rich, Director of the FTC Bureau of Consumer Protection, told the Committee that the FTC supports the creation of a federal standard for data security and breach notification, along with civil penalties for non-compliance. Much of the discussion focused on the transition of the payment card industry to a "chip and PIN" security standard, which would place microchips in payment cards and require personal identification numbers for processing retail transactions. Further, there were many questions regarding the extradition and prosecution of criminal actors who commit cyber crimes from locations outside the United States. U.S. Secret Service Deputy Special Agent in Charge William Noonan told the committee that extradition depends on the laws of the country where the hacker is physically located, and that some European countries have better records of extraditing persons suspected of committing crimes than others.
On Tuesday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing titled "Privacy in the Digital Age: Preventing Data Breaches and Combating Cybercrime." The Committee heard from Deputy Special Agent in Charge Noonan and FTC Chairwoman Edith Ramirez, who both offered testimony similar to that of the previous day. The Judiciary Committee also received testimony from representatives from Target and Neiman Marcus, retailers who recently suffered major data breaches and the theft of customer payment information. Both witnesses offered their apologies to their customers and described how hackers had infiltrated their payment systems and installed malicious software to obtain customer payment information. Each retailer witness also explained the efforts they made to notify their customers and offer services such as free credit monitoring. The hearing included testimony from Mythili Raman, Acting Assistant Attorney General for the U.S. Department of Justice, who also called for a uniform breach notification standard. Raman also urged the committee to review and update the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act of 1986. Again, at the Judiciary Committee hearing, there was significant discussion regarding the move to "chip and PIN" payment systems. Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-IA), sponsors of data security and breach notification legislation, had numerous questions for the retailer witnesses pertaining to the on-going investigations, as well as to how and when they notified customers of the breaches.
Witnesses from security firms, including Symantec, pointed to the Target and Neiman Marcus breaches as examples of the rising threat of data breaches. They argued that any federal standards for data security should be flexible in order to allow for innovation, and that best practices or guidelines should be developed through a stakeholder input process that allows for collaboration between companies, consumers and law enforcement.
In general, both hearings highlighted the rising threat of cyber crime and the need for federal data security and breach notification standards. Many senators on both committees were eager to make clear that while they expect retailers and financial institutions to take appropriate measures to secure their customers' information and to promptly notify consumers of any breaches, the companies themselves are also victims of cyber crimes, and that private industry, government and consumers must work together to prevent such breaches in the future.
The House Energy & Commerce Committee will hold a hearing on Wednesday, February 5, 2014 entitled "Protecting Consumer Information: Can Data Breaches Be Prevented?" The hearing will feature many of the same witnesses from the Senate hearings.

Kings trade Acy, Outlaw to Knicks
The Kings traded forwards Quincy Acy and Travis Outlaw to the New York Knicks on Wednesday for forward-center Jeremy Tyler, guard Wayne Ellington and the rights to the Knicks' 2016 second-round draft pick.
"We want to thank Quincy and Travis for their contributions to the Kings organization," Kings general manager Pete D'Alessandro said in a statement. "We all wish them great success."
Acy, 23, acquired from Toronto last season in the trade that brought forward Rudy Gay to the Kings, has averaged 3.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 12.9 minutes in 92 games in two seasons with the Kings and Raptors. Outlaw, 29, an 11-year veteran, averaged 5.1 points in 14.4 minutes in his three seasons with the Kings.
Ellington, 26, who has played for four teams in his five seasons, has averaged 6.4 points. His best season was 2012-13, when he averaged 7.9 points in 78 games with Memphis and Cleveland. He played last season in Dallas, averaging 3.2 points in 45 games. Ellington was acquired by the Knicks in June in a deal that sent Tyson Chandler and Raymond Felton to the Mavericks.
Tyler, 23, has averaged 3.6 points in three NBA seasons with three teams, Golden State, Atlanta and New York.

It seems like South Africa was so recent but we're already almost 1/4 of the way through the next cycle. Yanks-Abroad released their first take as to who will make the trip in 2014 A few remarks on some players: Bradley - "Moving to Villa was the dumbest USMNT move since Gooch to Newcastle" Holden - "Hopefully can fit Brazil into his injury schedule" Goodson - "Very underrated player that will start all during qualifying" Gooch - "Bob Bradley is jumping the shark here. Horrible World Cup, Milan doesn't want him and Twente gave up after a few games. Gooch is done." Altidore - "Jozy is slowly going the way of Freddy Adu" Lichaj - "Will take over left back" Looking at their list it appears they may be closer than some of the far off predictions they've made in years past. Obviously, three years is still a long time...
Based on the current talent pool, that's probably accurate for the most part. Injuries and new, upcoming players always change things.
I went back and checked, YA's first 23 tickets projection for 2010 was pretty good. They got 14 out of 23 right.
For what its worth, here is the link to their first 23 tickets to South Africa: http://www.yanks-abroad.com/get.php?mode=content&id=1963 My favorite quote: Heath Pearce - D/M, Chivas USA (USA) "Come 2010, there won't be any left back concerns."
OTHER BUBBLE BATTLERS Josmer Altidore, David Arvizu, Nikolas Besagno, Adin Brown, Edson Buddle, Jose Burciarga Jr., Jon Busch, Danny Califf, Joe Cannon, Brad Davis, Alecko Eskandarian, Hunter Freeman, Rodrigo Hidalgo, Nate Jaqua, Will John, Quavas Kirk, Sacha Kljestan, Kyle Martino, Pablo Mastroeni, Mike Magee, Kyle Nakazawa, Pat Noonan, John O'Brien, Robbie Russell, Ofori Sarkodie, Matt Reis, Frankie Simek, Danny Szetela, Quentin Westberg, Tim Ward, Zak Whitbread, David Yelldell, Joe Zewe, Preston Zimmerman Interesting list of outsiders from four years ago. Two players (Altidore, Buddle) made it off this list. And several players not mentioned at all (Findley, Gomez, Torres, Bornstein) made the 2010 team. Bedoya is another player who came out of nowhere and almost made the team. So maybe there are 5-7 players who at this point are long shots or maybe not even known by most of us who are going to make the 2014 team. Think about that.
Too early. Way too many factors to consider, including the fact that many players blossom during World Cup Qualifying. Questions include: Will Altidore get his groove back? Does Spector regain his form? Will Davies continue his improvement and contend for a starting position? Can Dempsey's body continue to handle the beating its been taking? We might find that a sizable portion of our starters today have been replaced. Four years is an eternity in soccer.
That's why this whole thing is interesting. If someone handed me a sheet with the 2014 roster today I could go away and come back in three years...what fun would that be?
My memory isn't great, but what was Freddy Adu doing in July of 2006 to warrant him being labeled "nearly a lock"?
Fwds (5): Altidore, Bunbury, Agudelo, Wood, Davies Mids(8): Donovan, Holden, Dempsey, Jones, Bradley, Bedoya, Diskerud, Spector Defense(7): Chandler, Whitbread, Ream, Onyewu, Lichaj, Gonzo, Goodson GK(3): Howard, Guzan, Yelldell? Thinking about this, I have no idea, I really have no idea what the future holds lol. Maybe Mixx and Bedoya become stars overseas? What if Robbie Rodgers and Bunbury go overseas and are successful? Gyau? Gatt? Doyle? Boss? Cunningham? Adu? Ahh i hate this.
A nice job on their part. I would think their task this time around is doubly hard, because of all the young dual nationals on the outskirts of the pool. If Jann George is suddenly scoring goals in the Bundesliga next year, he surges out of the ether onto the lock or near lock list. Looking at the list, it looks like there are not any of them unless they are committed already to the program. Those with only eligibility, Dan Williams, for instance, are omitted. Right now, I am most concerned about our forwards. Much more so than left back, actually. I'm not sure we've ever been weaker on top in the WC era than right now. That's where the most flux is possible, to my mind. I think 3 of 5 is the best that they can hope for. Either that, or that group starts going on an unforeseen goal-scoring spree at their clubs.
Some names were easier to predict because they were established US leaders and going into the prime of their careers. Now, you have a double whammy. The established leaders are going to be over 30 and the young'un's are still largely unproven. Provided full health - Howard, Chandler, Edu, Holden, Altidore and Bradley are in and will be in or near their primes regardless of form. Dempsey and Donovan will probably be in but over 30 and may or may not be starting, depending upon other developments. Spector and Feilhaber may not be included on the quality of play. Cherundolo, Beasley, Bocanegra, Onyewu, Jones, Clark, Buddle, Gomez, Demerit will be candidates based on experience but age may be catching up to them. Ream, Gonzalez, Bunbury, Agudelo, Boss, Lichaj, Bedoya, et al. have done next to nothing as of today and will be expected to improve enough to be included in the squad but a 50% attrition rate there is to be expected. This smacks pretty hard of 2006.
Stepovers? Man U trial before the season? ********** It's fascinating to look at the "4 years later" articles and posts. NOBODY gets things correct. There are myriad factors: injuries, players are more potential than payoff, young players progress quickly, and we might lack depth in certain areas. This is true even among the "sure things". The top 2 categories of Pack Your Bags and Nearly a Lock should have been the core of the team. And yet, Convey looks like an egregious miss, Gibbs never made an impression in the cycle (injuries), and Pearce, Adu, and Beasley were on the bubble at the end. Look for things to be even crazier this cycle. We have more MLS teams than ever, better youth development than last cycle, better incentives for MLS teams to promote youth players, and more opportunities for US players abroad. Look how quickly Holden and Edu progressed last cycle - somebody could do the same this cycle (and indeed, it looks like Chandler is on his way.) It's telling that there are 8 guys in the top 2 categories for the Brazil article. And even in that group, we have 4 guys that are starters in a top 4 league. With so many guys playing at a decent level, it will take more to be a lock for 2014.
Encouraging people to project his youth success to senior success. And making the occasional Youtube-worthy move. YA's track record isn't exactly the best on this stuff. For that matter, almost nobody's is. When it comes to pure guesses, the most reliable (if unsexy) method is to look at guys who have been important, or who's role with the team has been growing, and then look at their age in 2014. If they'll be prime age or near it, they're good odds. (In the way that doubling down when you have 10 and the dealer isn't showing 10 is "good odds." It's still a crap shoot from there. You hope they don't get injured, make a really bad club move, have their game go to hell, etc. And then they could still get overtaken by someone coming out of nowhere...)
In a similar vein, from early June, 2006 (pre-WC Germany) ... http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showpost.php?p=8634107&postcount=173 I took a pounding - I would be banned from N&A not so long thereafter - but still fond memories.
man, this is really hard because it's simply pure speculation on how i think a player will grow, and if you even guess 50% of the choices than you are nearly psychic. but anyways, i can't resist...please, be kind (i took some WILD guesses): Goalkeepers 1. Tim Howard (35)-lock 2. Brad Guzan (29)-nearly lock 3. Bill Hamid (23)-a lot of work to do, and pure random speculation Contenders-Nick Rimando (34), David Yelldell (32), Matt Pickens (32), Will Hesmer (32), Tally Hall (29), Sean Johnson (25) phased out: Marcus Hahnemann Right Back 1. Timmy Chandler (24)-nearly lock 2. Eric Lichaj (25)-safe bet Contenders-Kevin Alston (26), Sean Franklin (29), Sheannon Williams (24), Jonathan Spector (28) Steve Cherundolo (35), Rich Balchan (25), Kofi Sarkodie (23), Zarek Valentin (22) Center Back 1. Clarence Goodson (32)-safe bet 2. Tim Ream (26)-work to do 3. Zak Whitbread (30)-work to do, needs to stay healthy 4. Anthony Brooks (21)-a lot and a lot of work to do, pure random out of my ass speculation based on never seeing him play but figuring one kid will sneak on. Contenders-Omar Gonzalez (26), George John (27), Chad Marshall (29), Michael Parkhurst (30), Gale Agbossoumonde (20), AJ Soares (25), Eric Brunner (28), Ike Opara (25), Ethan White (23), Perry Kitchen (22), Marvell Wynne (27) Oguchi Onyewu (32), Jay DeMerit (34), Carlos Bocanegra (35) Left Back 1. Brek Shea (24)-a lot of work to do 2. Sean Cunningham (21)-a lot of work to do, pure speculation Contenders-Jonathan Bornstein (29), Heath Pearce (29), Anthony Wallace (24), Zach Loyd (26), Corey Ashe (28), Greg Garza (22) *still going to be our weak point. Center Mid 1. Michael Bradley (26)-lock 2. Jermaine Jones (32)-nearly lock 3. Maurice Edu (27)-nearly lock 4. Sacha Kljestan (29)-a lot of work to do Contenders-Benny Feilhaber (29), Jose Torres (26), Dax McCarty (27), Ricardo Clark (31), Jeff Larentowicz (30), Geoff Cameron (28), Amobi Okugo (23), Kyle Beckerman (32), Fabian Hurzeler (21) Attacking Mid 1. Landon Donovan (32)-lock 2. Stuart Holden (28)-nearly lock (depends on health) 3. Mikkel Diskerud (23)-safe bet/work to do 4. Josh Gatt (22)-a lot of work to do Contenders-Dilly Duka (24), Jorge Flores (24), Chris Pontius (27), Joe Gyau (21), Luis Gil (20), Sebastian Lletget (21), Freddy Adu (25), Robbie Rogers (27), Eddie Gaven (27), Bobby Convey (31), Brad Davis (32) phased out: N/A Forward 1. Clint Dempsey (31)-lock 2. Jozy Altidore (24)-safe bet (losing ground) 3. Teal Bunbury (24)-safe bet 4. Juan Agudelo (21)-safe bet *Surprisingly, we look to have a lot of up and comers coming up...even though sadly, at least half will probably be duds Contenders: Charlie Davies (27), Chris Wondolowski (31), Bobby Wood (21), Conor Doyle (22), Omar Salgado (20), Will Bruin (24), Kenny Cooper (29), Herculez Gomez (32), Edson Buddle (33), Justin Braun (27), Robbie Findley (27), Jack McInerney (21), Adrian Ruelas (23),
I'll play! Here's my 23 man squad with starters in bold: Omar Salgado Juan Agudelo Jozy Altidore Charlie Davies Bobby Wood Lots of wild cards here. Can Jozy recapture his New York form? Can Davies make a full recovery? Will he still have his speed when he's 27? Agudelo seems like the only certainty, which is absurd considering that he has barely played. I'm guessing on Salgado. I have questions about his mobility, but he's 6'4" and active with a willingness to shoot. I included Wood solely on reputation. Mwanga and Bunbury are bubble boys. They both have potential, but neither looks a dominant player in MLS yet. Stuart Holden Sebastian Lletget Clint Dempsey Landon Donovan Freddy Adu Joseph Gyau Michael Bradley Holden and Lletget figure to be our two most complete central midfielders. although Stu needs to stay healthy while Seb needs to get minutes. Bradley is a better defender than Lletget, but I don't think he's nearly as good in possession and distribution. Dempsey and Donovan are tough calls. Both should be on the decline by the time Brazil rolls around, but none of the guys behind them right now seem likely to pass them. Adu is our best creative midfielder (the Feilhaber role) while Gyau is the closest thing we have to a winger. One more body might be needed here for depth. Maybe Edu, Spector, or Duka? Eric Lichaj Gale Agbossoumonde Tim Ream Timmy Chandler Omar Gonzalez Perry Kitchen Clarence Goodson Zach Lloyd Lichaj might not be a natural LB, but he's still better than any of the other candidates. I think Boss has a chance to be a big time player once he gets more games under his belt. He has the potential to play at the highest levels. I'm not sure that Ream is international caliber, but I prefer him to the lumbering Gonzalez. Chandler might be our best young prospect period. He could play in any league in the world. He will be on this squad barring catastrophic injury. It's only a matter of where (he could play RM or RB). Gonzalez gives us a taller option against aerial threats while Goodson provides quality insurance and a veteran presence. I think Kitchen can play RB, CDM, or CB at a decent level. Not sure about Lloyd, but which young American LB is better? Tim Howard Brad Guzan Bill Hamid Timmy could be sliding come 2014. Guzan looks like a serviceable replacement, albeit a clear downgrade. Hamid has the look of a quality player. That's my team for now. Long way to go until 2014. Let's hope Lando and Deuce don't age too poorly, and that some of our young players establish themselves. After watching several of the U20 games I feel good about the odds of Gyau, Lletget, Kitchen, and Boss contributing down the road.
I'll play. And, for the record, here is YA's list: Locks/Pack Your Bags (5). 1. GK Tim Howard (Everton) 2. M Michael Bradley (Aston Villa/Borussia Monchenbladbach) 3. M Stuart Holden (Bolton Wanderers) 4. M/F Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy) 5. M/F Clint Dempsey (Fulham) Nearly a Lock (3). 6. GK Brad Guzan (Aston Villa) 7. M/D Maurice Edu (Glasgow Rangers) 8. M Jermaine Jones (Blackburn Rovers/Schalke 04) Fairly Safe Bet (9). 9. GK David Yelldell (Duisburg, Bundeslga II) 10. D Clarence Goodson (Brondby) 11. D Oguchi Onyewu (FC Twente/AC Milan) 12. D Tim Ream (NY Red Bulls) 13. D/M Timothy Chandler (Nuremberg) 14. F Jozy Altidore (Bursaspor, Turkey/Villarreal) 15. F Charlie Davies (DC United/Sochaux) 16. F Teal Bunbury (Sporting KC) 17. F Juan Agudelo (NY Red Bull) In a Battle (4). 18. D Eric Lichaj, (Aston Villa) 19. M/D Jonathan Spector (West Ham) 20. M Benny Feilhaber (New England) 21. M Alejandro Bedoya (Orebo, Sweden) Work To Do (2). 22. D Omar Gonzalez (LA Galaxy) 23. M Mikkel Diskerud (Stabek, Norway) ------------------------------ Moving Up: D Zak Whitbread (Norwich City); M/F Joseph Gyau (Hoffenheim); F Bobby Wood (1860 Munich). Moving Down: D Carlos Bocanegra, D Steve Cherundolo, D/M Jonathan Bornstein Other Bubble Battlers: Freddy Adu, Gale Agbossoumonde, Anthony Brooks, Ricardo Clark, Jay DeMerit, Robbie Findley, Sean Johnson, Perry Kitchen, Sacha Kljestan, Chad Marshall, Heath Pearce, Luis Robles, Robbie Rogers, Adrian Ruelas, Jose Francisco Torres, Chris Wondolowski. =============================== GK (3). Howard; Guzan, Yelldell D (5) Goodson, Onyewu, Ream, Lichaj, Gonzalez D/M (3). Edu, Chandler, Spector M (7). Bradley, Holden, Donovan, Jones, Feilhaber, Bedoya, Diskerud M/F (1). Dempsey F (4). Altidore, Davies, Bunbury, Agudelo Nothing really striking, except they think Edu is a M/F. Omissions of Gatt, Hamid, and Buddle a little odd on the bubble battlers list. I don't rate Gonzalez nearly as high. I was going to post my own, my Elven Bravo's list is so good, I figured, why try? So I'll do a shorty: Pack Your Bags (4). Howard, Holden, Donovan, Dempsey Nearly A Lock (4). Chandler, Bradley, Edu, Jones Safe Bet (2). Guzan, Goodson. In a Battle (7). Altidore, Davies, Bunbury, Agudelo, Lichaj, Onyewu, Spector Work To Do (6). Hamid, Whitbread, Shea, Diskerud, Gyau, Adu. By Position: GK (3). Howard, Guzan, Hamid D (4). Goodson, Lichaj, Onyewu, Whitbread D/M (2).Chandler, Shea M/D (2). Edu, Spector M (6). Holden, Donovan, Bradley, Jones, Diskerud, Gyau M/F (2). Dempsey, Adu F (4). Bunbury, Davies; Altidore, Agudelo. Bubbles: GK: Yelldell, Hahnemann, Johnson, Rimando, Cervi, Robles. RB/LB: Cherundolo, Bornstein, Pearce, Wallace, Sarkodie, Alston, Franklin, Balchan, Valentin, Loyd, Wallace, Ashe, Cunningham. CB: Bocangera, DeMerit, Ream, Gonzalez, Marshall, Opara, Agbossoumonde, Parkhurst, Soares, John, Wynne, Kitchen, Cameron. DM/CM: Clark, McCarty, Beckermann, Cameron, Okogu, Larentowicz. CM/AM: Feilahber, Torres, Kljestan, Bedoya, Rogers, Gatt, Duka, Gil, Lletget, Gaven, Convey, Davis, Beasley. F: Buddle, Gomez, Findley, Cooper, Wondolowski, Bruan, Wood, Salgado.
I'm not concerned about forwards this cycle. Concern if it was nextbyear? You bet! But for once we have multiple guys with loads of potential and upside. Last cycle there was Altidore. Davies kind of came out of nowhere in 2009. This cycle it seems as if we don't have all our eggs in one basket. If Agudelo fails, bunberry might work or Davies comes back or Altidore gets his mojo back, etc. Yes it's a concern now but back line is much more concerning as it seems that there is a 10 year age gap between cuurrent starters and potential replacements.
Pretty simple; he was playing for DC United and doing quite well for himself. By '07 he played in 87 games, had a league Championship, and 2 Supporters Shield. Imo he played well enough down the stretch with Aris to merit a selection.
Lock: Donovan Locks based on level of club play and age: Bradley, Edu, Holden, Dempsey, Chandler, Lichaj, Howard, Guzan Age and or injury concerns: Spector, Gooch, Jones, Whitbred
There's an old NFL line, "Potential is what gets a coach fired". Anyhow, a US forward who's actually playing and scoring at the highest level at the moment is Eugene Starikov (made something like the Player of the Week in the RPL for his game vs. Zenit) ... and he made zero Big Soccer's "future" lists.
Surely that's because Russian matches aren't the most widely available over here. I watch a lot of soccer and I hardly ever see any RPL. Out of (our) sight, out of mind. With as thorough as Bob's staff is, though, I bet they've been watching.

Now there is a new trend for the women, that is strip clubs. Strip clubs for women are providing them to watch naked guys.
Best Strip Clubs for Ladies Phoenix 2009 - Dick's Cabaret and II Dick's
3432 E. Illini St.
Phoenix, AZ 85040
While there's a slew of bars around this 'burg — both gay and straight — offering "all-male revues" (read: hunky men stripping down to their unmentionables), only two clubs in the Valley dare go for the "Full Monty": Dick's Cabaret and its recently opened spin-off, II Dick's. Both flesh parlors serve up more lean meat than a butcher shop, featuring dozens of strapping male dancers getting as nude as the day they were born, each night of the week.
And it isn't just gay men stopping by for an eyeful, as an equal number of females turn out at either location to ogle boys and bros alike, gazing at six-pack abs, bulging muscles, and, uh, ample endowments that their boyfriends or husbands might not possess. Nightly deals are also offered (such as one admission price that gets you into both clubs, as well as $5 cover and dances on Wednesdays and Thursdays), so the lovely and licentious ladies of the Valley can transform into cat-calling looky-loos on the cheap. Where's the beef (or more specifically, "Where's the beefcake?")? It's down at Dick's Cabaret, yo.

Hands off Aurino!
I have been following with particular interest in these recent days the new projects taking advantage of the hydro-electric resources in Aurino. Reaction against such initiatives is led not only by the 'usual' environmentalists but also by an important businessman – and a friend of mine - Bernhard Winkler. I sympathise with the Committee, which is closely knit around its focal point web site - www.sos.ahr.org (google translate), for the battle they are waging can be thought of as the sister of those I have been involved in recent years in defence of the denigration of our Dolomites.
The battle being fought in Valle Aurina is of great significance because it is looking to defend a commodity which is ever more precious, namely water. Water is not in short supply in our valleys but our argument stems from the premise that each and every one of our actions has an influence on something or someone. Lorenz reminded us that the butterfly which flaps its wings in Sydney causes rain in New York! It was Steiner who taught that every act needs to be performed with a state of gentleness uppermost in mind. And it is we Tyroleans, as fortunate occupants of this our land, who should give a good example and manage the environmental patrimony we have in a gentle manner, for above all else our economic circumstances allow us to do so.
The Aurino torrent has always been a source of richness for its inhabitants and a source of inspiration for those who visit the area. Should it dry up, in pursuit of the interests of a few, it will be a disturbing and damaging loss for all: the landscape will become less attractive and the tourists will search other destinations of a more authentic nature and where they can enjoy the uncontaminated pleasures of Nature. Should this moment come about we will realise that our actions will not only have done lasting damage to the environment but also to our economy. 'No', we say, in this circumstance water cannot be a tool of industrialisation – it is a straightforward question of ethics.
Unfortunately, those times when construction was done in a far more sustainable manner are long gone. Times long ago when land was not dispatched as a simple commodity and the very land itself was considered the richness of the community and the age of 'brick fever' was yet to come.
Nowadays however there is a global rush to buy up land which, according to leading experts will soon bring about a hunting mind-set for the most precious of all resources – water. It is happening above all in Africa where the governments are opening the doors to unprincipled investors whose only concern is to make money in the shortest time possible. The point is that also in South Tyrol we must act with greater reason. Economically we have the advantage to have already developed adequately: the 'development' syndrome can only do us harm.

His mission is to close the circle, meaning to integrate the chef's dishes with the right liquid emotions. Paolo is a sommelier, and wine is his world. For him, recommending a wine is like a sartorial act: there is no meal that cannot be basted together with an apt choice, to be uncorked and poured with joy. He prefers small producers, appreciates those who show respect for the land they work and loves to discover the new without forgetting the old. He silently studies the diner's psychology, trying to interpret the dreams of those at the table. Because in the end, the important thing is drinking well.

Nicolò has an eclectic spirit. Chef, host, manager: he can do it all and more. Like many a good Piemontese, he left for France as a young man, he worked in three star restaurants and was part of the Nadia Santini team. Then he discovered Alta Badia and he has recently come into the orbit of La Perla. Now he is gently guiding the Ladinia. Maybe not so as to make the floorboards creak, or maybe because his soul is still as light as a feather. The only thing he really cares about is that his guests fully embrace the spirit of this house, something of an inn, something of a refuge, always and however a welcoming, cosy, and tranquil place.

Dear Costa Family, Thank you for the wonderful feeling that it IS possible to do things different, and yet reach the same goal. It is rather the way that matters, it is the way that makes a difference and makes every day worth to live. I like Your way... The stories were nice to read. Alta Badia is my faviourite skiing resort, although this year I ski nearby. A big hello to Michil! I share his thoughts as every time a tree falls to quench the thirst of an individual of his "senseless" possessing more, anger heaves up in me. Thank you for the Christmas poem which makes sense after Christmas too :-) It is beautiful. Kind regards, Erika

Suicide - Statistics & Facts
Statistics and facts on Suicide
Suicide is the act of a person intentionally causing their own death. Suicide is a major public health problem in many countries and is often connected to depression, mental disorders or substance abuse. In the United States, suicide was one of the most frequent causes of death in 2013. Since the 1950s, the death rate from suicide has only slightly decreased, in fact, it increased again after a slight dip in the early Noughties. The major cause of death in the United States is heart disease.
A big gender difference exists in regards to suicide in the United States. According to gender-based suicide statistics by the National Center for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide is much more common among men in the United States. In every age group, the male suicide rate is considerably higher than the female rate and overall almost four times as many men as women die as a result of suicide. Leaving gender aside, the data shows that suicide is a problem across all age groups. The highest suicide rate lies with people between 45 and 64 and is reported to be at more than 18 deaths per 100,000 people in that age group in 2010, again, a slight increase from the previous year. Pre-teenage suicide is fortunately very rare, with only 0.5 cases per 100,000 Americans aged 5 to 14 years.

RAD Studio (Common)
This topic introduces the Delphi language character set, and describes the syntax for declaring:
The Delphi language uses the Unicode character encoding for its character set, including alphabetic and alphanumeric Unicode characters and the underscore. It is not case-sensitive. The space character and control characters (U+0000 through U+001F including U+000D, the return or end-of-line character) are blanks.
The RAD Studio compiler will accept a file encoded in UCS-2 or UCS-4 if the file contains a byte order mark. The speed of compilation may be penalized by the use for formats other than UTF–8, however. All characters in a UCS-4 encoded source file must be representable in UCS-2 without surrogate pairs. UCS-2 encodings with surrogate pairs (including GB18030) are accepted only if the codepage compiler option is specified.
Fundamental syntactic elements, called tokens, combine to form expressions, declarations, and statements. A statement describes an algorithmic action that can be executed within a program. An expression is a syntactic unit that occurs within a statement and denotes a value. A declaration defines an identifier (such as the name of a function or variable) that can be used in expressions and statements, and, where appropriate, allocates memory for the identifier.
On the simplest level, a program is a sequence of tokens delimited by separators. A token is the smallest meaningful unit of text in a program. A separator is either a blank or a comment. Strictly speaking, it is not always necessary to place a separator between two tokens; for example, the code fragment
is perfectly legal. Convention and readability, however, dictate that we write this as
Size := 20; Price := 10;
Tokens are categorized as special symbols, identifiers, reserved words, directives, numerals, labels, and character strings. A separator can be part of a token only if the token is a character string. Adjacent identifiers, reserved words, numerals, and labels must have one or more separators between them.
Special symbols are non-alphanumeric characters, or pairs of such characters, that have fixed meanings. The following single characters are special symbols:
# $ & ' ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > @ [ ] ^ { }
The following character pairs are also special symbols:
(* (. *) .) .. // := <= >= <>
The following table shows equivalent symbols:
Special symbol |
Equivalent symbols |
[ |
(. |
] |
.) |
{ |
(* |
} |
*) |
The left bracket [ is equivalent to the character pair of left parenthesis and period (.
The right bracket ] is equivalent to the character pair of period and right parenthesis .)
The left brace { is equivalent to the character pair of left parenthesis and asterisk (*.
The right brace } is equivalent to the character pair of right parenthesis and asterisk *)
Identifiers denote constants, variables, fields, types, properties, procedures, functions, programs, units, libraries, and packages. An identifier can be of any length, but only the first 255 characters are significant. An identifier must begin with an alphabetic character or an underscore (_) and cannot contain spaces; alphanumeric characters, digits, and underscores are allowed after the first character. Reserved words cannot be used as identifiers.
CalculateValue calculateValue calculatevalue CALCULATEVALUE
Since unit names correspond to file names, inconsistencies in case can sometimes affect compilation. For more information, see the topic, Unit References and the Uses Clause.
When you use an identifier that has been declared in more than one place, it is sometimes necessary to qualify the identifier. The syntax for a qualified identifier is
where identifier1 qualifies identifier2. For example, if two units each declare a variable called CurrentValue, you can specify that you want to access the CurrentValue in Unit2 by writing
Qualifiers can be iterated. For example,
calls the Click method in Button1 of Form1.
If you don't qualify an identifier, its interpretation is determined by the rules of scope described in Blocks and scope.
You might encounter identifiers (e.g. types, or methods in a class) having the same name as a Delphi language keyword. For example, a class might have a method called begin. Another example is the CLR class called Type, in the System namespace. Type is a Delphi language keyword, and cannot be used for an identifier name.
If you qualify the identifier with its full namespace specification, then there is no problem. For example, to use the Type class, you must use its fully qualified name:
var TMyType : System.Type; // Using fully qualified namespace // avoides ambiguity with Delphi language keyword.
As a shorter alternative, the ampersand (&) operator can be used to resolve ambiguities between identifiers and Delphi language keywords. If you encounter a method or type that is the same name as a Delphi keyword, you can omit the namespace specification if you prefix the identifier name with an ampersand. For example, the following code uses the ampersand to disambiguate the CLR Type class from the Delphi keyword type
var TMyType : &Type; // Prefix with '&' is ok.
The following reserved words cannot be redefined or used as identifiers.

In addition to the words above, private, protected, public, published, and automated act as reserved words within class type declarations, but are otherwise treated as directives. The words at and on also have special meanings, and should be treated as reserved words.
Directives are words that are sensitive in specific locations within source code. Directives have special meanings in the Delphi language, but, unlike reserved words, appear only in contexts where user-defined identifiers cannot occur. Hence -- although it is inadvisable to do so -- you can define an identifier that looks exactly like a directive.

Integer and real constants can be represented in decimal notation as sequences of digits without commas or spaces, and prefixed with the + or - operator to indicate sign. Values default to positive (so that, for example, 67258 is equivalent to +67258) and must be within the range of the largest predefined real or integer type.
Numerals with decimal points or exponents denote reals, while other numerals denote integers. When the character E or e occurs within a real, it means "times ten to the power of". For example, 7E2 means 7 * 10^2, and 12.25e+6 and 12.25e6 both mean 12.25 * 10^6.
The dollar-sign prefix indicates a hexadecimal numeral, for example, $8F. Hexadecimal numbers without a preceding - unary operator are taken to be positive values. During an assignment, if a hexadecimal value lies outside the range of the receiving type an error is raised, except in the case of the Integer (32-bit integer) where a warning is raised. In this case, values exceeding the positive range for Integer are taken to be negative numbers in a manner consistent with 2's complement integer representation.
For more information about real and integer types, see Data Types. For information about the data types of numerals, see True constants.
A label is a standard Delphi language identifier with the exception that, unlike other identifiers, labels can start with a digit. Numeric labels can include no more than ten digits - that is, a numeral between 0 and 9999999999.
Labels are used in goto statements. For more information about goto statements and labels, see Goto statements.
A character string, also called a string literal or string constant, consists of a quoted string, a control string, or a combination of quoted and control strings. Separators can occur only within quoted strings.
A quoted string is a sequence of characters, from an ANSI or multibyte character set, written on one line and enclosed by apostrophes. A quoted string with nothing between the apostrophes is a null string. Two sequential apostrophes in a quoted string denote a single character, namely an apostrophe.
The string is represented internally as a Unicode string encoded as UTF-16. Characters in the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP) take 2 bytes, and characters not in the BMP require 4 bytes.
For example,
'CodeGear' { CodeGear } 'You''ll see' { You'll see } 'アプリケーションを Unicode 対応にする' '''' { ' } '' { null string } ' ' { a space }
A control string may also be written as a sequence of one or more integers, each of which consists of the # symbol followed by an unsigned integer constant from 0 to 65,535 (decimal) or from $0 to $FFFF (hexadecimal) in UTF-16 encoding, and denotes the character corresponding to a specified code value. Each integer is represented internally by 2 bytes in the string. This is useful for representing control characters and multibyte characters. The control string
is equivalent to the quoted string
You can combine quoted strings with control strings to form larger character strings. For example, you could use
'Line 1'#13#10'Line 2'
to put a carriage-return line-feed between 'Line 1' and 'Line 2'. However, you cannot concatenate two quoted strings in this way, since a pair of sequential apostrophes is interpreted as a single character. (To concatenate quoted strings, use the + operator or simply combine them into a single quoted string.)
A character string is compatible with any string type and with the PChar type. Since an AnsiString type may contain multibyte characters, a character string with one character, single or multibyte, is compatible with any character type. When extended syntax is enabled (with compiler directive {$X+}), a nonempty character string of length n is compatible with zero-based arrays and packed arrays of n characters. For more information, see Datatypes.
Comments are ignored by the compiler, except when they function as separators (delimiting adjacent tokens) or compiler directives.
There are several ways to construct comments:
{ Text between a left brace and a right brace constitutes a comment. } (* Text between a left-parenthesis-plus-asterisk and an asterisk-plus-right-parenthesis is also a comment *) // Any text between a double-slash and the end of the line constitutes a comment.
Comments that are alike cannot be nested. For instance, {{}} will not work, but (*{}*)will. This latter form is useful for commenting out sections of code that also contain comments.
Here are some recommendations about how and when to use the three types of comment characters:
tells the compiler not to generate warning messages.
