Eminent domain disputes encompass complex issues which are expensive and time consuming to address through traditional litigation. Mediation can provide a more efficient and cost-effective resolution of these disputes.
I am a mediator practicing exclusively for eminent domain disputes nationwide. I have extensive experience in both eminent domain and alternative dispute resolution (ADR). Over the course of my 25 year legal career, I represented parties in more than 200 eminent domain cases and served as a mediator in many civil cases.
I received my initial mediation training in 1995. Subsequently, in conjunction with my law practice, I provided mediation services to parties and their attorneys involved in civil disputes on many occasions. I joined the full time faculty of Missouri State University in 2005 where I am currently an Associate Professor and teach negotiation, mediation, and arbitration.
Subject matter expertise counts in condemnation disputes. My training and experience in eminent domain and ADR combine to give you and your clients an opportunity to resolve your case on reasonable terms, and for a fraction of the cost of traditional litigation.
I am available for mediations anywhere in the United States. For a detailed description of what I do and how I charge, go to the Services and Fees page from the navigation bar at the top of this page. Please contact me to discuss how I can be of assistance. Thanks.

A Coquitlam teen, who pleaded guilty to 23 charges involving so-called 'swatting,' is going to spend another eight months behind bars.
The 17-year-old has been sentenced to 16 months in jail, but he gets credit for time already served.
The judge also acknowledged he seemed sorry for his actions.
Last year, several hoax calls were made to police across North America and as far away as Florida and Ontario.
He targeted young female video game players.
His sentence includes a ban on him using the Internet.

|Module names for core samples
|Thu, 28 Sep 2006 15:29:20 GMT
For trunk we currently have under the blocks module the modules + cocoon-core-samples-main cocoon-core-samples-main-sample + cocoon-core-samples-additional cocoon-core-samples-additional-impl cocoon-core-samples-additional-sample I think this is a little bit confusing especially as the real samples modules contain the "sample" twice in its name. In addition the "cocoon-core-samples-additional-impl" is nearly empty and contains only one (Avalon) configuration while is empty! So we could remove the whole module. For more cleanup I would propose to create the following directory structure in the blocks directory ( for these two blocks): + cocoon-core-sample + cocoon-core-main-sample (with the contents of cocoon-core-samples-main-sample) + cocoon-core-addition-sample (with the contents of cocoon-core-samples-additional-sample) Notice the singular form of sample in the module names to make this consistent with the name of all other sample blocks. Anyone against these changes? Carsten -- Carsten Ziegeler - Open Source Group, S&N AG http://www.s-und-n.de http://www.osoco.org/weblogs/rael/

SGD/JPY reversed from support zone
- SGD/JPY reversed from support zone
- Next buy target - 77.70
SGD/JPY continues to rise – following the earlier sharp upward reversal from the support zone lying between the pivotal support level 74.50 (which reversed the previous A-wave in the middle of 2013, as can be seen from the weekly SGD/JPY chart below) and the lower weekly Bollinger Band. The upward reversal from this support zone stopped the 3rd minor impulse wave of the intermediate downward impulse (3) from May.
Given the strength of the aforementioned support zone and the oversold reading on the weekly Stochastic indicator - SGD/JPY can be expected to rise up from the current levels toward the next buy target at the resistance level 77.70.

TC Electronic TonePrint Corona Chorus Pedal
The TC Electronic Corona Chorus is the go-to pedal for all your shimmering and warbly goodness. With two different chorus settings (the classic world-renowned TC Electronic SCF pedal and a Tri-Chorus) and a custom TonePrint setting, Corona Chorus will stand by you no matter what situation your playing might bring you in.
Main Features
- TonePrint- instant access to custom pedal-tweaks made by your idols
- 3 chorus types - expansive tonal options from glassy shimmer to mind-boggling swirls of sound
- Speed, Depth, Color and Level controls - sculpt your chorus sounds from subtle to extreme
- Stereo in and out - for added flexibility to your set-up
- True Bypass - zero loss of tone
- ToneLock - protects your presets under all circumstances
- Read More
Corona Chorus features Speed, Depth, Color and Level controls, true bypass design, a small footprint, analog-dry-through, easy-access battery hatch and is built from the highest-quality components.
TC set out to design a great sounding chorus, and they've made sure that the legendary TC Electronic quality shines though in all the available sounds, from their own SCF Chorus to the more TriChorus L.A. session studio swirls and all the way through to more contemporary chorus sounds.
The SCF Chorus is TC Electronic's legendary chorus pedal, which came to market over 25 years ago and is still and industry standard to this very day, due to its incredible dynamic range and lack of noise.
The TriChorus housing in Corona Chorus gives you access to a great sounding effect which consists of three chorusses working at the same time. Working best in stereo, the relationship between the three chorusses can be manipulated for some truly stellar chorus effects.
Corona Chorus offers great chorus tones right out of the box, but the knobs are specifically designed to allow you to tweak to your heart's desire. The Speed knob lets you dial in anything from slow 80's chorusing to fast leslie-like sounds, while the Depth knob sets how intense the sound is going to be. The Tone knob allows you dial in the chorus exactly how you like it- from dark and vintage to pristine TC shimmer to a sound that really punches through the mix. And finally, the FX Level determines how much of the effected signal is added to your dry sound.
But there is more to Corona Chorus than meets the eye. It's called TonePrint, and it will rock your world. Via a simple USB-connection, TonePrint allows you to download custom tunings made by your favourite guitarists straight into your pedal, easy, free and fast. A vast and ever-expanding roster of the finest guitarists alive are working with us to give you their custom TonePrint settings, so forget emulation, let's talk collaboration!
What is TonePrint? Let TC Electronic explain...
You see, we believe in moving the possibilities of guitar forward and boy, did we break the mould this time! We call this new feature TonePrint, and it will ROCK. YOUR. WORLD. With TonePrint, you get instant access to the core of the sounds of your favourite players, a tone transfusion of your favourite guitarists' essence straight into your pedal. A simple USB-connection allows you to directly connect with tones made by those that inspire you, all you do is pick and play.
TonePrint gives you instant access to tones that are custom-tweaked by your own guitar heroes! We have gathered a vast and ever expanding list that can only be described as the definitive who's who in guitar, and asked them to customize our new pedals with their signature sounds, the tones that made them famous. This allows you to directly interact with the sounds provided by the people that inspire you to play.
Getting a TonePrint is easy, fun and free. Just go to the TonePrint section on the TC website, locate the TonePrint you want to try and voila, your favourite artist just set your pedal for you. Whether it is the sound of your favourite song or a launchpad for your own stellar tone, a TonePrint maxes the star potential of your tone, the rest is up to you.
All the rockstars we approached were eager to sign on to this innovative project, and not because we waved a big bag of money at them. They unanimously agreed that TC Electronic gear inspired their sounds at one point and this was such a cool way to return the favour to their fans and maybe inspire the rockstar of tomorrow. Added to that, the TonePrint section of our site will constantly be updated with new tones, new artists and all kinds of bonus content.
Our artist's roster is expanding at a rocking rate, so TonePrints provide a huge range of styles and sounds, a guarantee to constant inspiration and years of fun. TonePrint is part them, part you, and all awesome!
Please note: These pedals are quite power-hungry, so we recommend you use an external power adaptor to save on batteries.

Australia made a serious error by playing four seam bowlers on a Chennai pitch that was always going to suit spinners, according to Fox Sports cricket commentator Brendon Julian.
The Aussies suffered an eight wicket loss in the first Test, with James Pattinson the standout bowler in an otherwise miserable outing for the tourists' pace-heavy attack.
Nathan Lyon came in for some brutal treatment on his way to first-innings figures of 3-215 from his 47 overs, while Mitchell Starc went wicketless and Peter Siddle picked up just one scalp.
While Julian believes Lyon still deserves his spot in the side as the country's no.1 spinner, he thinks Siddle and Starc should not play the second Test in Hyderabad.
"I don't think Starc should play in the second Test," Julian said.
"He's a wonderful bowler, no doubt about that, and I think he'll play the first Test in England, but you've got to play Mitch Johnson in the next Test.
"Johnson's a better bowler in those conditions. He bowls so well on flat pitches.
"He's also very good with the bat, so they've got a stronger tail if he comes in at no.8."
Australia's selectors sprung a surprise by picking three frontline quicks plus pace-bowling all-rounder Moises Henriques in Chennai, and Julian doesn't think they'll make the same mistake in Hyderabad.
"It was definitely a mistake to take so many pacemen onto that pitch," Julian said.
"I'm not just saying that now, I said it right from the start, even before the Test match.
"As soon as they decided to pick Henriques, they didn't need another quick bowler. They should have gone with two spinners.
"If Hyderabad is like that, you've got to play Doherty and Lyon."
Relive all the action from the first Test with our Cricket Match Centre.
Despite the doom and gloom surrounding the heavy defeat, former Test bowler Julian believes there were actually plenty of positives for Australia to take out of the match.
"The first innings score was exceptional given the situation of the match, with the turning wicket.
"Clarke was phenomenal again, and Henriques was very, very impressive in both his first and second innings' - he played the spinners well and looked very comfortable on the big stage.
"It's great for the Aussies as they now won't need to worry about that all-rounder spot - it's more to do with the bowling line-up.
"From a batting point of view, I thought there were very encouraging signs in difficult conditions."
The conditions themselves were the source of much controversy throughout the match, with the pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium described as being "like the surface on Mars" by Aussie leg-spin legend Shane Warne, who was commentating on the match.
But Julian had no issues with the pitch, saying it should be expected that home nations will prepare surfaces to suit their players.
"Having that pitch is no different from going to the Gabba when it's swinging around a bit, or Perth when it's quick and bouncy.
"When you go to India, you expect the ball to turn.
"We've got to not worry about the pitch and just get on with it."
See if Australia can bounce back in the second Test, starting on Saturday 2 March LIVE, EXCLUSIVE and in HIGH DEFINITION on Fox Sports.

Résumé Begins or Ends a Job Search
Thirty seconds. Studies say that's all the time you have for your résumé to make an impression on a prospective employer.
When job searching, the résumé is often the only mechanism a prospective employer has to evaluate you unless you are working with an executive search firm. Consequently, if the résumé doesn't grab the reader's interest, there's little chance you'll get an interview, much less land a new job.
A résumé is a "snapshot" of you. A résumé that sparks the interest of a prospective employer's hiring manager must powerfully communicate the "who, what, where, when and why" about you in a detailed, reader-friendly format. It needs to make you rise above the crowd and your competitors vying for the same job.
Components of a High Impact Résumé:
The different sections, or headings, of the résumé provide a framework for organizing your information.
The standard résumé has five main sections:
- Personal Directory
- Work History
- Education
- Accreditations and Licenses
- Professional Memberships
Some résumé authorities say an "objective," a short summary statement describing what you want to do and what you have to offer an employer, should follow the personal directory. Contrary to this belief, I advise excluding an objective for a number of reasons. The hiring manager of a prospective employer is mostly interested in the skills and achievements you bring to the table. Additionally, by stating an objective you may box yourself in; if your skills are suitable for a job, but your objective doesn't match the employer's, the hiring manager may take you out of contention. There are times when an objective may be acceptable to include. For example, if you're sending your résumé directly to a specific person and have thorough knowledge of the job under consideration, you can craft the objective to be consistent with the opportunity. If you feel an objective is important to state, my recommendation is to include it in an introductory cover letter accompanying your résumé.
Assuming an objective is omitted, "work history" is the next section of a résumé. Work history is the core and most impactful part of the document. It must communicate and illustrate, in detail, your career success and enable the hiring manager to clearly link work responsibilities with measurable results. The data you share is translated into your value to the prospective employer.
The following outline shows the order in which information should be presented in the work history section:
Current employer, current job
- Company
- Geographic Location (city, state and country, if other than U.S.)
- Present job title (and, if pertinent, department name)
- Starting Date in Job to Present
- One to two Sentence Summary of Current Responsibilities
- List Achievements using a Bullet Format, Quantifying when Possible
- Company
- Geographic Location (if different from current position)
- Previous Job Titles in chronological order working backward (and, if pertinent, department names)
- After each job title:
- Starting and ending dates in job
- One to two sentence summary of job responsibilities
- List achievements using a bullet format, quantifying when possible
- Name of each company
- After each company:
- Geographic location (city, state and country, if other than U.S.)
- Job title or titles in chronological order working backward (and, if pertinent, department name)
- After each job title:
- Starting and ending in job
- One to two sentence summary of job responsibilities
- List achievements using a bullet format, quantifying whenever possible
Let's take a look at a basic example of quantifying results -- the wrong way and the right way. A chief financial officer (CFO) states in his work history, "Reduced capital expenditures in 1998 expenditures by 10%." This is a weak sentence because there's no point of reference. It leaves the reader dangling and begs the question, "What were the capital expenditures when the CFO began in the position?" A better statement is: "Reduced capital expenditures from $114.2 million in 1997 to $102.8 million in 1998, a 10% decline." The before-and-after figures are impressive and illustrate that the CFO has gained control of problems and is on pace to restore expenses to an acceptable level. From this statement, the hiring manager might hypothesize that this candidate could bring the same success to his/her organization.
For a broader view of quantification, the following examples were drawn from the résumés of two different individuals:
Example One
National Sales Manager-Vice President (November 1997-Present)
XYZ Corporation has more than 5,000 employee's nationwide and managed receivables in excess of $60 billion. The company is recognized in the industry as a leader in technology, conservative business practices, and quality personnel training programs.
- Supervise operations for 1,500 branches in 48 states with more than 5,000 employees.
- In 1998, the company produced more than $20 million in loan growth compared to a -$15 million loss in 1997, the largest percentage improvement in company history.
- In 1998, the company reduced delinquency $4 million dollars, or 1.00% from 4.12% to 3.12% in 1998
- The largest percentage reduction in the company.
- Improved productivity in 1998 in the two most important categories, receivable loan growth and receivable bad debt.
- Reduced staffing levels by 14% while improving growth and delinquency results.
"Accreditations and licenses" are appropriate to include next if licensure or certification is required or of significance in the respective industry. In the financial services industry, for example, we have a wide range of broker licenses, insurance agent certifications, underwriting certifications and financial investment accreditations, just to name a few. Some are essential for certain positions while others are voluntary and serve to enhance a professional's capabilities, competence and credentials.
The résumé continues with "professional memberships," denoting affiliations in any industry, commercial or professional associations. Officer positions, committee chairmanships and other involvement, as well as outstanding contributions, accomplishments and awards associated with memberships should be highlighted. Besides demonstrating a commitment to your industry and conveying your ongoing interest in expanding vocational experience, this information illustrates qualities such as leadership ability and teamwork.
Different Variables Affect Presentation Format
A variation to the standard résumé format is listing skill sets as the first section of body text following the personal directory. This diversion is suitable only in certain circumstances and therefore should be used selectively.
The modified format may be appropriate for someone changing careers. Placing skills that relate to a future job at the beginning of the résumé accentuates the skills and immediately focuses the reader in the new direction. Another example fitting to the skills sets format could be a project manager position that requires a blend of skills, such as project management, technology and process reengineering. A person in this type of position may benefit by following the modified presentation style. While this format has advantages, a major drawback is the challenge it presents to the hiring manager to connect the skills referenced with jobs in the work history section.
Regardless of the presentation format you choose, you may have one lingering question: How long should my résumé be? There's no set maximum or minimum number of pages. Experts have different opinions about résumé length, but one popular formula is to make the document as long as it needs to be to present your information logically, concisely, interestingly and honestly. No matter how many pages your résumé fills, misspellings and grammatical errors are inexcusable, and almost assuredly, the document will be dead on arrival.
"Honesty" merits extra attention. In your résumé, tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Information will be verified during a reference check, which may include sources such as a credit company or an investigation service. Deceit will result in automatic disqualification for a job or automatic job termination, and it could haunt you and your job hunting success for a long time. A résumé is a work in progress. Continually update the information. You never know when a great career opportunity will cross your path, but when it does, you'll be prepared. If you're applying for a specific job and have knowledge of the criteria being sought, you can tailor the information to be more relevant to the employer's needs. If you work with an executive recruiter in your job search, the recruiter can help customize your résumé in relation to the employment opportunity.
Let the Search Begin
Now that you've completed your résumé, it's time to distribute it! There are numerous ways to conduct a job search.
- A shotgun mailing -- simultaneously sending your resume with an introductory cover letter to many potential employers -- is one approach. You may want to engage an executive recruiter, who can selectively identify job opportunities and be your marketing representative; executive recruiters primarily place professionals in middle- or upper-management positions.
- If you know the name of the hiring manager or key contact person at a prospective employer, sending a résumé by certified mail to that individual can be a way to initiate interest in you and make you shine above the clutter.

The NHL is getting closer to imposing a lockout after contract negotiations between the league and the players' union Friday in New York broke down.
Talks ended after the NHL Players Association responded to the league's counter proposal that was presented earlier in the week, according to ESPNNewYork.com.
The two sides are apparently far apart on how to divide hockey-related revenue. The NHL wants to decrease the players' share from 57 percent to 46 percent. The players do not want to agree on any absolute salary decreases. Instead, their proposal includes a three-year system with four-year options that allow them to receive their current share of revenues.
Commissioner Gary Bettman denied NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr's accusation that owners elected to end Friday's meeting and accused the players' union of "stonewalling."
"That's an unfair and inaccurate characterization," Bettman said.
The current collective bargaining agreement ends Sept. 15. No further negotiations are scheduled.

Daviene Morrissey, 38, of North Platte was arrested Thursday for forging checks at her previous job.
Morrissey allegedly stole money from the business through various methods over a period of about 18 months, a police spokesman told the Bulletin.
After further investigation, police found evidence that Morrissey wrote nearly $25,000 in unauthorized checks on a Hansen business account, resulting in the latest charge. She was booked and released Thursday afternoon.
It was the third time that Morrissey has been charged with similar crimes. On June 6, 2011, she was charged with fraud - insufficient fund checks.

By FRANCO PANIZO
U.S. men's national team head coach Jurgen Klinsmann unveiled the final additions to his summer training camp before World Cup qualifying on Sunday. And is the case every time a roster is announced, there was much debate and criticism over who was and was not selected.
Fans and pundits alike dissected Klinsmann's latest round of call-ups at length, especially the topic of which missing players deserved to be called into the 27-man roster that is currently training in Orlando, Fla., before this summer's slate of games.
At the center of many of those discussions was Sacha Kljestan, the RSC Anderlecht midfielder who is coming off a season in which he helped the club win the Belgian League title. Kljestan enjoyed a career year this campaign, starting 35 of the 36 league games he played in while scoring five goals. That's not to mention his 10 starts in the Europa League.
Ultimately, however, Kljestan plays a position the United States is extremely deep at. And with the likes of Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones and Jose Torres all called in, Klinsmann may simply have felt he had enough central midfielders in camp who are already established members of his team.
Another player whose omission was surprising to some was Eric Lichaj. The Aston Villa defender started nine consecutive games for the Premiership club since recovering from a hip injury, and he performed well at both right back and left back during that stretch.
Lichaj's absence was shocking to some given the lack of fullbacks capable of playing on the left side in the U.S. pool, a long-time weakness that has been further magnified over the course of the last week due to Timmy Chandler declining a call-up.
Then there's DaMarcus Beasley, who is coming off a strong season with Puebla. Beasley started 14 of the 17 games he played in during the Mexican Clausura campaign, and he scored five goals in those matches. Beasley is also another left-footed weapon Klinsmann could have selected, but not even Brek Shea's absence was enough to bring in the experienced veteran.
A case can be made for any of the aforementioned players and as well as others like Tim Ream, Benny Feilhaber or Kenny Cooper. But as is the case with every national team roster that gets put together, not everyone can get a call-up.
Which missing player do you think was the most deserving of getting called into the Orlando camp for a look? Was it Kljestan? Lichaj? Beasley? Someone else?
Share your thoughts below.
$herman Maje$ty
Kenny Cooper is the biggest snub in the USMNT camp. Somebody give the guy a chance! Look at his limited USMNT performance! The bottom line: THE GUY SCORES GOALS! Everyone talks about, "Well he should do this, do that, blah, blah, be this type of Forward, etc." The fact is, when Cooper is healthy he gets goals, and the USMNT can always use somebody like that! If you dont believe me, check his stats.
The lesson is that you cannot really count on a player, who is eligible to play for another more established soccer nation, until they are capped in an official fixture. That's why players like Boyd, Corona, Morales should get minutes in one or more of the next qualifying games. Chandler got to play against a number of top teams like Argentina, which certainly helped his development and confidence, but he also took away valuable playing opportunities from other guys who would have been proud to represent the US.
You don't take a project to road qualies in Central America. Agudelo is way too inexperienced, unfit and unsettled right now to be thrown into that environment. Beas would be a good role player to have available for that Guat match. I wouldn't prefer him in any of the other matches but for that particular situation he fits.
Sacha disappoints more often than not wearing a national team jersey. I don't call that a snub. Time to see if any of the youngsters bring it with the full team.
Lichaj is a snub but if he isn't fully recovered from his injury then I can understand.
I am mostly shocked Beckerman continues to be called in.
The Imperative Voice
I think there has to be a smidge of Europhilia going on, even if it's subconscious, when one essentially equates starting and playing minutes "in the [Belgian] league AND Europa league" with good form. He played an MLS-length season and managed 4 goals.
You're mocking the production argument but all due respect he is a tad slow and doesn't play defense like most of the rest of the CM pool, he better be productive some way to offset it. My experience with him tablesetting with the US is he plays too slow and goes for home run passes and loses the ball. IMO he struggles with the speed of the game when it clicks up a notch. So can he at least score goals? Exception of Sweden C the evidence suggests no.
The Mexico comment was pointed indirectly at you — who I felt were giving him credit for merely being with a decent Belgian team — but more directly at Colin, who argued Mexican teams are inferior. All due respect but the assumption that the Scandinavian and Belgian leagues are better than US or Mexico — and thus meriting of some sort of "starts there so he must be good" checks in his favor — is not necessarily borne out by the facts. I think they offer more money but not necessarily better teams; IMO MLS is high end Championship or low end EPL, on a budget, and Mexico has more money and quality.
Clearly Lichaj! As well as Ream and Whitebread…these guys were all starting in the EPL! Defense is our problem and will be our problem in the next world cup…cherundolo and bocanegra will be too hold…we need to develop these guys…F Sacha…we dont need that clown…the midfield players called in are better.
That's true Johnson has been good, but I think that Kljestan is really ready to take the next step, and was a pretty crucial player for his club this year… I like Jones, but he just seems to be a liability either through injury or suspension, and to me he's just an older and poorer version of Michael Bradley. And if you take Jones on, Beckerman or Edu (preferably Edu, I think he's awful) shouldn't be there, or the other way around.
There should at least be some mention of Whitbread. He may be out of the mix this time because of injury, but was more deserving than many who are getting ink here, including Mix, Freddie, Cooper, Bennie, etc., etc., etc….
"but was more deserving than many who are getting ink here,"
Okay, that and one dollar will get you a Mega Milions ticket.
Bradley wanted to cap him, but he kept coming up lame.
Same with Klinsmann. Maybe Zak is trying to take the title of " most unfortunately timed injuries" away from Stu Holden.
If you want to be mentioned then you have to show up. This is a real team here not a fantasy team.
If you notice Klinsmann is pretty open and detailed when he talks about players who he is very high on, whether he calls them up or not( Chandler,Shea, Agudelo and so on).
The fact that he hasn't yet said anything about Lichaj leads me to believe it may be a while before we see Eric again.
*at centerback
Kenny Cooper's ceiling.
At national team level, you'd see Kenny of 2011 when he went on a 14 game scoreless streak. Cooper is streaky. He'll cool off for RBNY and they will wonder what happened.
Is Whitbread injured again or something?
Well, there most definitely is not Europhilia. You just can't seem to comprehend he plays in a good league and played almost every minute of every game. That, to me, means he should be called up. If you cannot comprehend that, then I'm done discussing it.
I'm mocking the production argument? I never even started a production argument. I simply said he is in good form because if he wasn't, he wouldn't be starting and playing almost every game of the season in both the league and Europa league. Again, it's not hard ot understand. Also, you are wrong that he does not play defense. For his club, he is one of two holding mids. In the Edu/Torres category as opposed to the Jones/Bradley category. Further, I never said he deserves to be in the 23, let alone starting. I never even said anything about his skills. He certainly isn't going to save us and he is little more than a depth option. But again, my point was simply that he deserves to be called up to a camp of 27 players.
As for Mexico, I don't know why you would direct that at me. I didn't say a thing about Mexico or the MLS that was negative. All I said was that Belgium's league is solid, I never said they were better in my original post. It wasn't until you brought it up that I said the Jupiter League is at least on par with MLS, if not better than. I like the Mexican league and think it's probably better than BOTH.
Again, the point of this thread is to state players who were snubbed. Kljestan is one of those people given it is a camp of 27 players. I think playing in the Jupiter league week end and week out merits a look. I also understand the argument we have a ton of CMs, so I'm not really surprised. But that does not mean I don't think it is a snub.
Dumbest post on the thread. Congrats.
That said, does getting onto the bench cap-tie you? Or would you have to at least make a substitute appearance in that case?
International quality is different during a global tournament than it is during WCQ in CONCACAF.
Shea didn't make it because he has had recent discipline problems. Yet probably, Kilnsman thinks enough of him overall – that Shea's suspension gave Klinsi a chance to call up other mids on the bubble to continue developing the pool.
Kljestan is actually not on the roster because he is attending his own bachelor party and wedding which obviously was planned well ahead of these games coming up.
Out of all mids, Sacha sees penetrating creative passes the best. He has had possession problems in past but the move to Belgium has been good for that improvement. We need goals period and his vision and touch is more instinctive than any mid on the list!!!!
Thorough assessment. Spot on. Rather.
The Imperative Voice
Not that I am a big Rogers fan, but there is probably a specific reason Klinsi omitted him…
The Imperative Voice
Side issue but anyone else thought about the fact that both ESPN and NBC Sports are showing 4 of the 5 games in the "Klinsi tournament," but somehow incapable to pay the fee for the 5th, and most interesting (and it counts) game, the road quali in Guatemala?
And another interesting aspect would be that in order to take this POV you seemingly would treat, say, Brazil as an end in itself, instead of what it is supposed to be, which is build up to the last two games. Because if you think about it this is like showing pre-WC friendlies whose primary intent is preparing for the WC, but then not deigning to show part of the WC itself because "they asked too much." Silly.
You couldn't have exaggerated more if you tried on number 2. Besides, he wasn't even playing his correct position. He's been playing central midfield for Anderlecht. He was played out on the left in that game… For fifteen minutes…
Come on. Lets give the guy a FAIR chance…

Two big market teams–Blackburn & West Ham–have already decided they didn't want George John.
Air Jordanz
1. Whitbread's never played for the USMNT (excluding some youth appearances forever ago).
2. He's made of glass, having missed substantial portions of the last season due to multiple injuries.
3. He was just let go by his club.
4. He's not young.
Air Jordanz
We're talking about contracts with Central American governments.
I'm sure it's not that simple. Unfortunate, but likely true.
Bornstein watched a lot of good soccer down in Mexico, which to some means he improved just watching. I wonder why Woody Allen never put on a Nicks uniform?
Chris Wondolowski. Wait, he actually got called up to a non-cupcake match under Klinsi…? Amazing.
Now if he actually gets minutes…in a qualifier…but I'm not holding my breath at this point.
Agreed, those other players had nice seasons, but last I checked we need fullbacks (especially after the Chandler snub) on both sides and Lichaj has been playing well in the EPL. Really baffled by his lack of a callup.

1278 Ancient Years
Ottowa was very beautiful as if never touched by abuse his whole life and he explained to the boys and thier mother that he had incurred much abuse and as long as he was inside the figurine it had healed him of all the scars.
The boys and thier mother swept up the remains of the figurine and put them up on the counter. Ottowa had instructed them to do so. He said that he would permanently remain in thier home as long as needed and he said that when abuse would start he would put an end to it. Yet he didnt say how....
It was getting late, time for the boys to go to bed. They slept so peaceful that night unlike any other. Ottowa stayed up to spend time with thier mother. He helped her clean up the mess her husband had made and he helped her heal her sorrows alittle more. Ottowa soon got back inside the figurine put the pieces together with magic and the boys mother put him on a shelf in the living room.
Her husband didnt come home all that night. Peace and Quiet.

about what makes them tick. Here model and amateur athlete NELL McANDREW
wonders if the Queen should take up running, shares her cure for droopy
boobs and revels in the joys of Jaffa Cakes.
DO sit down for a minute – you're always jogging or running or dashing
about. It's making me feel exhausted. Do you ever walk anywhere or stand
still without bouncing up and down?
Never! I do everything fast! I walk fast, I vacuum fast, I mop fast. I can

You say you actually can't get enough exercise, that you love it. Now
that's not normal in my book. The pain, the effort, the sweat – what's to
love about that?
I'm a hard worker and I thrive on being busy. There's nothing like challenging
yourself and feeling fitter and stronger. You should try it some time. You
might find that you're the next Rosemary Conley… Betty Brisk bums and
Well, I do seem to have more than one of each. You broke your own record in
the last marathon. That's just under three hours without a wee. Have you
ever, you know, simply had to go in the middle of a race?
Luckily not, but many people do! Running isn't glamorous, it's about sweating
and Portaloos (if you get there in time!)
Will you keep on running until you're an ancient old crone? Aren't you
worried that your knees will get all knobbly?
Absolutely. I could get an old age pensioner running group going — the Knobbly
Knees Striders!
But you say your bottom has suffered, that running's made it flat, when
really what you want is a Beyonce bum. In my experience, that takes supreme
dedication to lying around, eating pork pies and getting other people to
fetch things. Why not try it?
I'd be so bored! I'm doing more squats and lunges now to work the buttocks.
You do have days off, though, don't you? You tweeted recently that you'd

Canada Pension Plan backs Agrium board nominees in Jana battle
TORONTO, April 5 (Reuters) - The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, one of the world's largest pension funds, said it has voted to support Agrium Inc's board nominees ahead of a shareholder meeting next week, in a blow to activist investor Jana Partners.
The Canadian fertilizer maker and farm products retailer Agrium has been locked in a war of words for months with activist investor Jana Partners LLC, a New York-based hedge fund.
Jana named a slate of five nominees for election to Agrium's board and the battle is set to come to a head at Agrium's shareholder meeting on its home turf in Calgary, Alberta, on April 9.
A spokesman for Jana was not immediately available for comment on the CPPIB decision. A spokesman for Agrium said the company was pleased with the decision.
Jana, Agrium's largest shareholder with a 7.5 percent stake, wants Agrium to spin off its farm retail arm, improve its use of capital and cut costs, among other things. Agrium, however, favors the status quo and highlights the steep rise in its share price as evidence that it is on the right track.
The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPPIB), which manages net assets worth more than C$172 billion ($169.50 billion), said on its website that it decided to back Agrium's slate of nominees.
It said "Jana has failed to make a compelling case for change to Agrium's board of directors."
CPPIB said that while it agrees there are opportunities for improvement, "the dissident's nominees do not represent the best alternative for optimizing long-term value creation, particularly in light of Jana's proposed director compensation structure."
Agrium has questioned the independence of Jana's nominees, stating the "dissident nominees have agreed to accept special incentive payments from Jana for serving on Agrium's board." Continued...

The latest news from academia, regulators

Transparent metal touchscreens
|Most touchscreens rely on an electrically conductive material called indium tin oxide (ITO). As skin is conductive, touching the screen alters its electric field, which is detected as a tap. Crucially for a surface layer of a screen, ITO is also optically transparent. Very few materials possess this combination of properties. Industry has responded to the spike in indium prices accompanying the rising demand for ITO by intensifying the search for alternative transparent conductive materials.
|XinQuan Zhang from the Singapore Institute of Manufacturing Technology and his co-workers are working on a promising alternative touch-sensitive film: a printed, mesh-like pattern of ultra-fine metal lines, created using roll-to-roll gravure printing. Gravure printing traditionally uses an etched mold to transfer ink on to paper. Here, the etched cylindrical mold instead transfers a precise pattern of conductive metal ink on to the touch-sensing substrate.
|Light from the screen passes through the holes in the printed mesh. Before this study, the finest lines that could be printed this way were approximately 50 micrometers wide, which blocked more than a third of the screens light.
|Zhang and his co-workers have overcome this limitation through diamond micro engraving. Instead of using a laser to etch the grid-like pattern of tiny inkwells into the printers cylindrical mold, Zhang uses a tiny diamond-tipped cutting tool to pattern the roller using ultraprecision machining technology.
|Originally developed to manufacture lenses and optical components, ultraprecision machining has never been used for gravure printing, Zhang says. His team successfully adapted the machine to cut tiny inkwells on the roller, two and a half times smaller than a laser could etch. Using this roller, the team printed a mesh of metal lines just 19 micrometers across. More than 80 per cent of visible light passed through this mesh, matching ITOs optical performance.
|Although ultraprecision machining can produce very finely patterned rollers, the process is slow, says Zhang. This is one disadvantage compared to lasers, he says. Next the team will improve the process of ultraprecision machining to make it faster, so the roller mold will be affordable to industry.

The main source of funding for the Starke County Youth Club is in jeopardy as members of Congress continue to squabble over a federal budget for the next fiscal year. Executive Director Irene Szakonyi says the House budget proposal slashes money used to provide services for 600 youngsters in grades K-12 in Starke County.
"The threat is our largest source of funding, which is the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program, will be eliminated, so we really are encouraging everyone to reach out to their legislators and talk to them about why children, youth in this country are important, why after school programs are important and to encourage them to keep funding for our kids and our communities," said Szakonyi.

When it's not the newest iPad, it's for sure the rife rumor about the upcoming next-gen iPhone that's keeping Apple inside the news all the time.
The device, which is considered to be receiving a longer screen, is likewise getting a grand quad-core processor, if a report from DigiTimes is usually to be taken as Gospel.
The blogosphere is now used to bring us DigiTimes coverage a little spiced up – primarily because lots of the big leaks come from unspecified sources, and so this newest report won't break this lifetime habit.
The iPhone was credited as being the changing element of the modern-day smartphone, but after keeping the same ethos throughout with regards to screen size as well as general power (such as good quality, however, not eye-watering), it appears that Apple is currently playing catch-up with their rivals.
A quad-core processor could be quite a bump from your current dual-core A5 chip offered with all the iPhone 4S, and would furthermore boast more power compared to the third gen iPad which, despite supplying quad-core graphics, remains only a dual-core A5X processor.
DigiTimes being DigiTimes haven't changed a lot, I can't say I really believe this one, especially since my own current iPhone 4S continues to run for several months, with numerous game titles and apps, yet without a great deal of lag, less than a second. I'm more tending to trust Tim Cook's company will select the A5X once more, which would nevertheless be fast, and enable smooth gaming on the slightly larger display screen.
Of course, I really could be wrong, and with the fact that Apple is apparently pushing on the larger screen, a quad-core processor wouldn't be described as a massive shock. Nonetheless, although the company generally seems to have gone with the flow in improving the display real-estate, a brand new chip exceeding the A5X would appear like an excessive amount of a leap, although also not expecting it to be particularly necessary.
|A5 vs A6 Chip
Similar to almost all Apple products, we will find out more in the days before the announcement what the next iPhone – called the "iPhone 5" – will bring to us. Although LTE would appear a foregone bottom line given the iPad implementation, the only other point we're able to presume with no doubt to become feature, is iOS 6, that has already been announced in the last month at WWDC 12.
Needless to say, we will inform you with anything we grab in the in the meantime, so stay tuned!

Gourd, Apple
- Hard-shelled gourds resemble apples
- Mottled green skin dries to brown
- Gourds grow to 6-8 inches by 4 inches across
- Best used for crafting and birdhouses
- 100-120 days
(Lagenaria siceraria) Large hard-shelled gourd shaped like an apple. Mottled green skin dries to brown; very long shelf life. Gourds are 6-8" tall and 4-6" across. Best used for crafting and birdhouses. 100-120 days.
Learn to Grow it
This crop can be direct seeded into the soil after the last spring frost. You can also start plants indoors 3-6 weeks before the last frost date.
If you are direct seeding, plant in groups of 2-3 seeds and keep the healthiest plant that matures. Space your plants or seeds 12-18 inches apart and plant 1/2-1 in. deep.
Make sure that your soil is well fertilized as this crop is a heavy feeder and takes a lot of nutrients from the soil. Consider adding compost to the soil the year before you plant.
These plants prefer warm weather and soil so they should be grown when temperatures are over 68 degrees F. You should avoid watering them from above as damp leaves may be susceptible to disease.

Personality Has Less Impact On Language Learning Than You Think
There are so many myths surrounding language learning: You need to do this. You need to be that. You have to be musical and have an ear for music. You have to have a talent for language learning. One of the biggest myths I have come across though is that extroverts are the better language learners. I do not believe at all that you need to be an extrovert to learn a language. Language learning isn't about your personality type, rather it comes down to whether or not you possess the three keys.
The first key is attitude. You have to be interested in and like the language. You have to believe you're going to achieve your goal. Your belief that you can achieve your goal is very important and I think the first-time language learner has a problem: they've never done it before. It easier to give in to insecurities if you've never achieved something before. But attitude is 70 per cent of the battle, and you have to go into language learning with the attitude that you will be successful.
The second key is time. Language learning takes time, lots of time, and you have to be willing to put the time into it in order to reach your goals. It's not months to fluency. It takes a lot of time every day for many, many months or years.
The third key the ability to notice. So often people are stuck with the way words are written in their own language and they don't listen to how they're pronounced in the new language. They'll constantly translate expressions from their own language into the new language and don't pay attention to how things are said in the target language. Alertness and attentiveness are extremely important.
Neither your attitude, willingness to spend the time or your attentiveness to the language require you to be an extrovert. Introverts can just as easily have those qualities. An extrovert may want to get out there and speak right away. They're perhaps more likely to be unfazed about not understanding and want to show off the few phrases they know. That's all good. There's nothing wrong with that. I'm not really an introvert, but I don't do that. That's not a necessary condition of language learning. I derive immense enjoyment from listening and reading and building up my vocabulary, building up my familiarity with the language, activities which are so enjoyable to me.
For the last two weeks I've been listening to Korean. I've been listening to podcasts and audiobooks, reading and really getting into the language. Doing these things doesn't require me to be an extrovert. In fact, you could say these are all introverted activities. I'm communicating with the language and through the language with the culture, but I'm not required to be an extrovert to do that.
My goal, eventually, is to speak more confidently and I know that these activities improve my ability to do so. Now, an introverted person may be more inclined to be afraid of exposing their shortcomings in the language and making mistakes in front of others. Maybe they're more afraid that they're going to sound less educated than they are, less intelligent than they are. It's possible. The solution, nevertheless, is to engage in these input-based activities and build up familiarity of vocabulary and comprehension skills. That way, when they go to speak they will feel more comfortable.
I see no evidence that introverts are less capable in their own language. I see no evidence that they have a smaller vocabulary, that they read less, that they understand less, that they're interested in fewer things. So if that's true of their own language, I think it will be equally of a foreign or second language. They may behave differently in the new language or speak less at some gathering, but introverts typically have a lot to say when they are comfortable; a lot of things of substance to say.
If you're an introvert, devoting yourself to input-based activities like lots of listening and reading and building up your vocabulary is going to make you more comfortable. Then when you go speak you will have better listening comprehension and a bigger vocabulary. You'll be better able to defend yourself and that's going to make you more confident.
I think the idea that extroverts are going to do better at learning a language is a bit of a tortoise and hare situation. Extroverts are more like the hare off the bat because they're speaking more quickly. But in the long run, in terms of all of listening, reading, speaking, writing, vocabulary, accuracy, all of these things, I don't think extroverts have an advantage.

Better pay – learning a second language gives you a competitive edge. According to recent research bilinguals earn between 5% and 20% per hour more than the base rate.
Four out of five new jobs in the US are created as a result of foreign trade.
In the U.K for example in 2011 over 27% of administration and clerical jobs went unfilled because of the language deficit, according to the all-party parliamentary group.
Students who study foreign languages tend to score better on standardized tests than their monolingual peers. According to Dr. Thomas Bak, from the University of Edinburgh, multilingualism leads to improved cognitive abilities.
Multi-linguals are proficient at slipping from one language to another, and according to the Pennsylvania State University, this makes them a great multitaskers.
Your marketable skills in the global economy are improved if you master another language.
Researchers from Northwestern University say bilingualism is a form of brain training - a mental "work out" that fine-tunes the mind. Further research has shown that multilingualism can delay the onset of Alzheimer's Disease.
The ability to speak another language translates into more confidence when traveling, making the experience richer and more meaningful.
Learning a new language also means understanding a culture, it helps you be more flexible and open to new experiences, and leads to an overall healthier lifestyle.
It's not as hard as you think and it will help your career!

The airline reported pre-tax profits of e45.1m (£31.8m) for the three months ended June, only 4% higher than in the year-earlier period.
Chief executive Michael O'Leary said the Stansted-based carrier's once-stellar profits growth had been halted by the cost of launching 50 new routes as well as the Buzz takeover and subsequent reorganisation.
Ryanair had lost the benefit of a month's revenue from Buzz, acquired for e23.9m, as it was effectively closed down during April following the takeover.
Ryanair was also hit by the continuing intense competition in the European aviation market, with yields, margins and the load factor - the measure of how full of passengers the planes were flying - all down on last year. O'Leary predicted yields for the full financial year would fall 10-15%.
The strength of the euro against Ryanair's main currency, sterling, also trimmed profits. Lower interest rates reduced the income on its e1bn of cash on deposit.
However, O'Leary, who now leads Europe's biggest airline, said the carrier was continuing to perform strongly. 'During what BA last week described as the most testing period in aviation history, we continue to drive down air fares and reduce costs, but at the same time deliver increased profits and exceptional margins.'
