I write this letter in support of law enforcement.
We usually take law enforcement for granted, (until we need them). But we should thank God that we live in a land that is ruled by law and order.
I know that being in law enforcement does not make you a saint. And I know that some in law enforcement should themselves be locked up.
But if we didn't have the law, we would live in a land of utter chaos. And good people would be imprisoned in their own land and ruled by murderous thugs.

Musings After My Scarification
I was scarred by Brian Decker on October 31, 2009 during his visit to Austin, Texas. My scarification is of a blue jay. It is placed on the left side of my torso; it is approximately eight by four inches; and it is incredibly detailed. The process lasted just over four hours. Decker used cutting, skin removal, and shading techniques.
As time progresses and I surpass the five week mark of being scarred, I keep reflecting on all the things I failed to realize before Brian Decker removed some of my skin...
As far as cleaning: I washed my scar with Dr. Bronner's Peppermint Soap in the shower, which burned like hell. If I could go back in time, I would listen closer to all those warnings about the first shower. It was painful enough before I introduced peppermint soap. I waited until the end of my first shower to really clean my scar. My world started spinning with pain; I sat down on the edge of the tub, leaned over and threw up into the toilet. This happened the second day of showering as well. I have never thrown up from pain before. The experience lost its novelty, and became more tolerable. I continued using Dr. Bronner's. I planned on using lemon juice, because I dig the idea of natural irritants, but peroxide and Dr. Bronner's seemed to be all the pain I could handle.
As far as care: I found out in the first week that Vaseline liquefies with time and body heat, and it stains clothes permanently. I also figured out that I am prone to heat rash and zinc oxide does not fix the problem. Decker recommends keeping the scar covered with cellophane for seven to ten days, but after six I quit. I think on day four I attempted the switch to toasted sesame seed oil, but the smell grossed me out too much. Having it sealed in close to my body with cellophane, without any room to breathe made the smell even more intense when I would get a sniff of it. So I went back to Baseline. I contemplated mixing in sugar, but because my scar is so detailed I worried about losing some intricacies with rough and abrasive irritants. But, as I mentioned before, I quit covering the scar with cellophane on day six and at that point I committed to toasted sesame seed oil. I spent a lot of time the second week with my shirt off. I cleaned it about every four hours. By clean, I mean I would wipe away excess oil with gauze, spritz on a generous amount of peroxide; wait; feel the burn until I couldn't stand the bubbles anymore, then absorb the peroxide with gauze, fan it dry and reapply toasted sesame seed oil with another piece of gauze. I went through a lot of gauze. I did this whole routine until the end of week two.
As far as the temptation of picking scabs: I gave in. I got distracted from my homework one day, and focused on picking those scabs. After I started, I worried about uneven scarring so I picked the whole thing. And I was late for work. I tried not to pick at it after that, but at times little pieces of scab would tug on my shirt, so I'd reach under my shirt, find the culprit and rip it off. I probably did more picking than what's kosher, but I think it only enhanced the keloiding. At least this is what I will believe.
As far as scar tissue goes: it doesn't stretch. I stretch a lot. During the healing process, I stretched the area quite frequently by pulling my stomach skin in all sorts of directions. This is different from the everyday sort of stretching I'm talking about though. I sleep on my stomach with my left arm above my head, at least this is how I fall asleep. It takes me an incredibly long time to fall asleep (if I had quit taking sleeping pills before my scar, I would have lost a lot of sleep during the initial healing, but luckily I waited until two weeks after to quit). So when I am tossing and turning, trying to get to sleep, I go into an in between stage. I stay there for a while, but every time I raise my left arm above my head the sensation of scar tissue being pulled and stretched is enough to take me away from that place of almost sleep. It isn't entirely unpleasant, just a jarring sensation that I am getting used to. I hope with time the scar will stretch with l ess discomfort.
As far as pleasure goes: I like to be touched, just about anywhere. I like skin and I like my skin. I like it when flesh meets flesh. Anyways, I never anticipated that I would enjoy touching my scar so much, or that it would become my new favorite place to be touched, or that the effects of it being lightly grazed over by fingers, lips, facial hair, or warm breaths would make me shiver. I am not a cutter, nor have I ever really been, save a few times when I was on a lot of pain killers and carved lyrics into my skin with a safety pin. I didn't anticipate the range of feeling that comes with a large scar. Admittedly, the sides of my torso are ticklish by nature and sensitive, but my scar adds another element of pleasure to being touched.
As far as healing goes: I thought it would be more even. The variations in my scar are endless right now. It could be for a number of reasons: the depth of the cutting, the use/lack of use of muscles underneath the scar, the potential that my bra rested lower than we anticipated and put pressure on the head of the bird and prevented raised keloiding, etc... The scar tissue on the top half has already turned white; the bottom is drastically redder. The nature of the cuts varied a lot to begin with. The top of the bird is more detailed, with lots of shading to give a feathered look to the body. I lost a lot of this detail. I know that Brian started at the top, and worked his way to the bottom. I have to consider that maybe he got more comfortable cutting deeper as he progressed and got used to my skin. Also, by the time I picked my scabs, this area had already healed for the most part and therefore wasn't forced to re-scab as much as other areas. There are some areas of
the bird, for instance the vertical line of the bird's body which is near the front of my body, that raised significantly more than others, like the vertical line closer to my back. The variations are endless. I can't figure out what caused them, but I am okay with that. At this point, I am still enjoying the healing process and getting used to my scar. I know there is a lot of healing and changes I can't see yet. I plan to visit Brian over spring break to retouch the head of the bird, because I am afraid as time progresses those areas of the scar that are already white and not raised at all will heal more than I want and become almost invisible.

Living with chronic lung diseases
People with chronic lung diseases fight for air while doing simple tasks. They struggle to stay physically active and risk early death. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD, is an umbrella term for diseases that impair lungs and leave people feeling breathless.
Chronic bronchitis and emphysema are familiar types of COPD. The condition is an under-diagnosed, life-threatening disease that currently affects 64 million people worldwide. Much more than a "smoker's cough," it will become the third leading cause of death by 2030. Tobacco use, indoor and outdoor air pollution and occupational dusts and chemicals are the primary risk factors.
WHO supports Member States as they work to reduce the toll of COPD and coordinates international efforts to improve global respiratory health, particularly in middle- and low-income countries.
Fighting for air
Although Nodari Cherekashvili and Elaine Ackley live in very different parts of the world, they share a common battle to breathe freely. They have learned that the disease is not well known or easily recognized. Yet, as their stories show, they are fighting the condition with healthier lifestyles and access to quality care.

Swiss real estate – Interest rates still driving the market
UBS CIO Wealth Management Research publishes UBS Real Estate Focus 2013 on Swiss property market
Conditions are still favorable for the Swiss real estate market. However, the climate is starting to get harsher. UBS CIO Wealth Management Research expects regulatory intervention, a steep increase in supply and pockets of overvalued real estate to throw more and more grit in the works of the real estate boom in 2013.
Zurich/Basel, 23 January 2013 – Housing prices have risen relentlessly and reached new highs every single year for the last 15 years. These high prices are starting to affect the real estate market significantly. Single-family homes and multi-family dwellings are increasingly due for a correction in the country's fast-growing business centers. However, prices seem unlikely to fall any time soon, given today's persistently low interest rates. For that reason, UBS CIO Wealth Management Research expects average prices in Switzerland to rise again in 2013: 3.0 percent for condominiums and 2.5 percent for single-family homes.
Efforts to slow down real estate boom
The property boom has raised pressure on lawmakers and supervisory authorities to regulate the market more strictly. In 2012, for example, new guidelines were passed on minimum requirements for mortgage financing. Also, the construction boom in high-tourism regions has unsettled the wider population, culminating in the adoption of the second-home initiative. The initiative's implementation will be a challenge for courts and government agencies and a source of uncertainty for property owners for years to come. In addition, campaigns have already been launched to promote or oppose the referendum to amend the Spatial Planning Act (to be held in March 2013). Encroachments on property rights are always highly controversial, but UBS CIO Wealth Management Research believes the new law will have very little impact on land and property prices.
Unabated growth in business space
Attractive financing terms have affected the business property market by continuously driving up prices. The high capital gains seen in recent years are probably a thing of the past, though. An office space glut will shape the course of 2013. Project promoters will have to adjust to a more difficult marketing environment in Zurich, Bern and especially Basel.
Shopping centers will face a similar fate if all the projects in the pipeline are actually completed. In 2012, competition with neighboring countries drove down prices; retail sales plummeted more than at any other time in the last 20 years. However, retail sales should stop their descent this year, buoyed by factors including immigration-driven increases in overall demand.
Fireworks are over for real estate funds and equities
Listed real estate should see a relatively humdrum 2013. Interest rates are near rock-bottom, which significantly curtails opportunities for capital gains. Instead, the focus will lie on increasing rental revenue. As such, real estate equities should hardly outperform the overall stock market. Real estate funds also have to contend with historically high valuations. Profit-taking seems reasonable in this context despite robust dividend yields.

true the high line does not work for us. we would need fast defenders and Terry, Ivanovic and luiz are not that fast. terry's strength is orgenising and cutting off attacking moves. it's worked for us in the past.
as for the new style it would be good if we keep it. some players are finding it amazing, Sturridge has been let loose, mata, Ramires and Romeu. possesion football with swift attacks and fast movements, building from our own half and going forward. it's the future for us.
i don't know what is wrong with Torres. i don't think it entierly about losing his confidence. it's something else. he is fully capeable but, i don't think he is adapting, IMO that's the problem. he doesn't feel at home and insted of being nice to him we need to give some harsh treatment. he is a world class striker and is fully capeable of scoring 30+ goals a season. he needs a little push insted of a hug.
i'm sure we might end up breaking him but, we can't have him go on like this. no one's gonna pay 50mil for him now. we'd be lucky to get 20. and i'd rather Drogba go free than Torres go for a loss of 30+mil.

^^ i am a Chelsea supporter so yes Jonn Obi. and trust me he is no good. he is strong and that's it. can't see danger coming and only reacts. can't tackle, as he has cost us many times and has a bad temper.
Romeu still needs time to grow. he's good but, i don't think he can command first team yet. though until Essien comes back he will have to grow up quick. for future he is the one. Romeu's not taht good at breaking up attacks and seeing danger but he'll get there. as long as he brings the game inot his strength of passing and spreading the ball he can improve the other aspects as he grows up and gets used to the Premier League.
as for getting Rowell i'll take Khedira over Rodwell. Rodwell is good but he's never played at a high level and just because he English the price is x2.(Andy Carroll) Khedira played in the world cup finals and he's played champions league football. he's a no noncence player.
Khedira steals the ball, passes to Romeu, who finds Mata. Mata picks out Sturridge (really wanted to say Torres) and he puts it in the back of the net. (in theory anyway)
as much as i would love to see Mikel at Huddersfield i doubt you can afford him. he's salery is close to 50k

A Liverpool fan here, but my brother follows Chelsea so it's like my 2nd club. Glad that AVB got through the trouble earlier back at the last round of CL (and steal the first spot too), even when the recent two draws was kinda threw the momentum back a bit through. Torres will turn fine, or get sold. Especially with CAN (Cup of African Nations) coming soon, and Drogba probably will be a way for a while. Romeu probably will step up and turn to be quite a steal also
On Liverpool, kinda annoyed with the whole deal surrounding Suarez, too much football politics that is ruining my on-pitch entertainment. For those who don't follow, the guy is facing an 8-matches ban, for the charge of "using abusive language that refer to racial of an opponent", even when both the Football Association and the supposed victim clearly stated that "he's not a racist". In fact, the guy barely know English, was speaking in Spanish and using the term "negrito" which is much more neutral and commonly used in Uruguay (he's Uruguayan) than the term "negro" in English. He's in fact also a quarter black
So now in one side, we have the English media applauded a great victory toward racism. On another hand, LFC, the Uruguay Football Association through Uruguay Embassy in London showed support to the players. The British media suspect the Uruguayan (or the whole Uruguay country) still backward on dealing with racism, and showing unacceptable racial insensitivity. The Uruguay national newspaper fire back accusing English FA "arrogant", "hypocritical" and "overreacted"
More on the case here, but basically it's a mess. Personally i feels extremely unfair that a guy who is a quarter black, have history on charities to promote anti-racism in football, now being torched by the media to be racist. Just like Terry, captain of the possibly most racial diverse club in the whole league, got questioned on the same charge

Hey... SOCCER people....
From the American point of view -- that red card was total BS. And it was smart of the manager to just outright order the team to walk off the field -- and call it the end of the game.
That kind of situation was dangerous. Any random person running up the field like that towards an athlete... all sorts of crap could happen. If you want a reference, refer to the Monica Seles stabbing. With that in mind, the goalie had every right to defend himself. And keeping the bastard down like that until help arrives... that was the right thing to do.
So, to give him a red card for it - that was... ludicrous. It was security's fault for allowing anything like this to even happen.

I remember that a similar incident was happened in a smaller league. The player jumps up to tackle the troubling fan. He got the red card. The opposing club found the decision so unjustified that they decided to take of a player too. That's fairplay
Kinda envy the more open mind in US-dominant sports. International football with FIFA is extremely narrowly mind on technologies, hence all important decisions were decided by ref running on the pitch. And trust me they literally can change the outcome of the match if they want to (or their decision can be affected by players' reaction or the crowds). With all of the cameras in high profiles games that can capture all of the angles and replay them within less than a second, there should be only 2 refs. A guy (or two)monitoring from above with all of the camera angles, and one guy running down on ground to solve the dispute and pass the message. Pulling shirt and clear diving should face penalty after the match (financial or a match ban if serious)

The red card was just by the rulebooks, but luckily the Dutch FA retracted the red card. I do think the goalkeeper went too far by kicking the "supporter" while he's down but that's me thinking about it rationally. The truth is most of us would have done the same thing in similar situations.

*The match will be replayed from start without an audience and Ajax will be fined.
*The KNVB (Dutch FA) has overturned the red card. The goalkeeper will not see any sanctions and will be allowed to play in the rematch.
*The FA emphasized that the referee took a formally correct decision but they felt that the mindset of the goalie strongly influenced by conditions and was fully excusable.
*No sanctions for AZ for refusing to continue the match. This is the most controversial part of the decision as Verbeek took his players of as a protest against the red card, not as later claimed as for security fears. Which is strictly against FA rules. This might influence future decisions by coaches in case of incidents in trying to profit from circumstances. AZ was trailing 1-0. KNVB points to the special circumstances of this case.
*The hooligan has been sentenced to 6 months in jail on assault charges. He had already has a 3 year stadium ban but a season-ticket holder had given him one of his tickets for cup matches. The ban has been extended to 30 years and Ajax will take both fans to civil court for incurred damages. After leaving jail the hooligan will have to report to the police on match days for both Ajax and the national team for the next two years.
*Fans of both teams who attended the match do not accept the replay without an audience and supporter unions have taken the FA to court as the want their money back. FA rules prohibit any refunds but fans deem this to violate their consumer rights.
* Justice was not immediate but seems to have been done in due course.

And i thought you guys talked about Messi winning the third Ballon d'Or (the highest reward from FIFA).
Japan got three awards among the 7 (there might be more but i'm not sure), for the best female player (Homare Sawa), best female team coach (Norio Sasaki ) and FIFA Fair Play award (Japan Football Association)
On Henry, it's simply class on his side. Just a slap on the face toward those media outlets claiming he can no longer be fit in English PL

^Yeah, I know that Messi wins Ballon D'Or again, third time in a row - at this rate it's simply to be expected, so no one is surprised anymore and hence not much discussion. Congratulations to Japan though, now when can we get a female football anime?

There are so many quality strikers who don't have blazing speed but still get by on other qualities. Barring injury, Thierry should be effective during the loan-spell.
Wenger still needs to spend more though.

i knew this thread would have got revived when Henry decided to re-join Arsenal XD
But is it a bit too late? Arsenal is pretty much out of the contention in english PL...maybe championship league...but only 6 weeks..
anyway, it's good to see great player comes back to english PL..and if Scholes can play, then Henry will definitely have no problem (just to clear I don't hate Scholes at all before all Man U fans come to slap me XD)

out of contention to win the league yes, but they're 1 point out of the top 4. given their start, that's amazing.
as for messi winning, meh. take messi in a vacuum and ronaldo in a vacuum, and ronaldo wins every time. its just that messi has the spanish national side backing him up. you put ronaldo in any above average side, and he will make them much better. you put messi in any above average side, and he'll he just be an above average player. see: argentina.

Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, making her most extensive comments on the wave of violence that has shaken the city, said Wednesday that she was "sad about the state of our community" and pleaded with residents to help detectives solve cases.
Rawlings-Blake struck an uncharacteristically frank tone at a City Hall news conference, while police said they were making progress on arrests and pledged to communicate better with the public.
Five people were shot Tuesday night, one fatally, and two more shootings were reported Wednesday — one in the morning, when a gunshot victim walked into Union Memorial hospital, and one in the evening, when a man was shot in the arm in the Poppleton neighborhood.
The incidents brought the total number shot since Friday to 29. Ten victims have died.
Police Commissioner Anthony W. Batts said the department's initial "messaging" about the shootings had been "terrible." He said he had temporarily reassigned spokesman Anthony Guglielmi, who drew criticism for saying during the weekend violence that the city was generally satisfied with crime reductions.
Rawlings-Blake, who had given limited comments on the wave of shootings while out of town at a conference, lamented the "terrible display of ugly and senseless violence."
"There's a mix of emotions — it's angry, it's frustrated, it's extreme sadness, particularly when we look at the fact that it's not outside invaders killing members of our community. It's us killing us," Rawlings-Blake said. "It sickens me that too many of our residents feel unsafe in our neighborhoods, even inside their own homes."
At a special meeting Wednesday evening, members of the City Council's public safety committee expressed skepticism about Batts' approach of increasing patrol officers.
"We can't bring in the National Guard," Councilwoman Rochelle "Rikki" Spector said. "We can't make this a war zone."
Anthony McCarthy, a radio show host and political consultant who worked in Mayor Sheila Dixon's administration, said city officials underestimated the public's response to the crimes and need to do more than work on messaging.
"I think [the public] has been fed a steady diet of 'declining violence, best it's been in decades,' and now we've been slapped in the face with reality," McCarthy said. "Because we have this impression that the citizens of our city are apathetic about politics and policy and what's going on, I think a lot of elected officials, including our mayor, believe you can just offer tepid reassurances that you're on the case, and people are going to take it at face value."
Homicides in Baltimore dropped to a three-decade low in 2011. But at 112 killings not halfway through 2013, they are now on track to increase for the second consecutive year.
Some recent incidents here have been particularly brazen. At 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, a group of men holding T-shirts over their faces opened fire on a man holding a baby in the 900 block of McCulloh Street, just off Martin Luther King Boulevard.
The man, who was hit by the gunfire, fled with the child in his arms to the University of Maryland Medical Center's Midtown Campus. A woman was also struck in the incident.
Batts, who was named commissioner last fall, said he has "made it very clear to my staff, to our organization that we will respond and respond assertively."
"You don't understand what my outrage is about these circumstances," Batts said.
Maj. Dennis Smith, commander of the unit that investigates shootings, robberies and serious assaults, said detectives were working shooting cases nonstop.
In an unusual move, detectives are being added to foot patrols, which have been ordered to develop information in hot spots.
Smith said detectives have closed or are closing in on arrests in several cases. They arrested 23-year-old Ricky Fair of Baltimore Wednesday in a Friday afternoon shooting in the 1600 block of Smallwood Ave., and had two in custody for one of Tuesday's shootings. Fair had no attorney listed in court records for this case.
Batts said he had moved Guglielmi, the department's chief spokesman since December 2008, to an assignment in which he will work more closely with the community. Guglielmi, whose salary was $99,000 last year, is not a sworn officer.
Batts said the temporary move to the recently formed Community Partnership Division "will be good for him and good for us." Guglielmi declined to comment.
Batts said the agency is responding to the violence, but had difficulty conveying it over the weekend. He told the public safety committee Wednesday he would start making his command staff available for media interviews.
"You've got to give confidence … that we know what's going on," Batts said. "We can't be on every block. We're not going to stop every issue that takes place, but we're on top of it. We're taking charge."
Batts and his deputies said much of the shootings stemmed from gang turf wars and drug dealing. One fight at a nightclub a couple of weeks ago led to six shootings later, they said.
Some city council members took the spike in violence personally. Warren Branch, who chairs the public safety committee, lives about a block from the East Baltimore street where an 18-year-old woman was killed on Saturday.
Branch opened the meeting by saying he would have no patience for a "dog and pony show" with statistics showing crime was down.
Councilman James Kraft questioned the police department's tactics.
After a spike in violence, police put on a show of force, but "where does that get us 90 days from now?" he asked. "It doesn't get to the heart of the issue."
Other council members praised the use of patrols.
"My residents have definitely noticed a change," after a spike in homicides in the Western District led police to step up their presence, Councilman Nick Mosby said.
Tessa Hill-Aston, president of the Baltimore chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said police need to take the lead, but "all of us together have to be accountable for our neighborhoods."
At McCulloh Homes, where the man carrying the baby was shot, residents said police would have to maintain a strong presence there to make a lasting difference.
The area was quiet Wednesday. Little girls combed the hair of mannequin heads on the front porch of one home while a landscaper trimmed trees around the homes' paved courtyard and concrete benches. But neighbors were still shaken up by the chaos.
Sha'Naa Davis, 32, the mother of two girls and a boy, said she was at church with her children when the shooting started.
"That's too close for comfort," she said.
Davis said she wishes police would send more foot patrol officers into the low-rise complex to monitor the area and talk to residents.
"The only time they come through is when something is wrong," she said. "And then, when they come, no one wants to participate."
She said the mayor needs to walk through McCulloh Homes and other neighborhoods to bolster confidence in public safety. Rawlings-Blake walked through Downtown Baltimore this month in an effort to reassure visitors that that area was secure.
"She needs to be out in the community, showing us it's safe," Davis said.
Edith Green, 69, agreed.
Green, who said she has lived in McCulloh Homes for 15 years, also wants to see the police there more frequently. She said she's seen officers walking around the complex just once this year.
"They're waiting until something happens and that's the worst to do," she said. "I thought [Rawlings-Blake would] be better than that. Wait until somebody gets killed and then make yourself visible?"
Baltimore Sun reporter Carrie Wells contributed to this article.

Ben McLemore, Kansas, G, Fr., 6-5, 195, St. Louis, Mo./Christian Life Center [Texas]
McLemore averaged 21.5 points and 3.5 rebounds as Kansas won its first two games in Big 12 play with a 97-89 overtime win over Iowa State and a 60-46 victory at Texas Tech. The freshman guard opened the week by scoring 33 points in the win over ISU on 10-of-12 shooting, including 6-of-6 from 3-point range, along with 7-of-7 from the free throw line. He scored 13 of KU's final 23 points in the final seven minutes, including the game-tying 3-pointer with 1.3 seconds remaining to send the contest to overtime. It was the most points by a Jayhawk freshman since Danny Manning in 1985 (35 vs. Oklahoma State). McLemore shot 63.2 percent for the week and 60 percent from beyond the arc, while connecting on 86.7 percent of his free throws. He ranks second in the Big 12 in scoring with 16.4 points per game.
Georges Niang, Iowa State, F, Fr., 6-7, 245, Methuen, Mass./The Tilton School
Niang turned in strong performances in just his second and third starts of the season as Iowa State dropped the game at Kansas before posting an 82-62 win over Texas. The freshman forward recorded 15.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 2.0 assists per game while shooting 55.6 percent from the floor and 88.9 percent from the charity stripe. He had 13 points at KU, including the team's first eight points, while grabbing seven boards. He then notched a career-high 18 points to go along with two rebounds versus the Longhorns, converting 5-of-7 shots from the field. Niang has scored in double figures in six of his last seven contests and ranks third on the team in scoring with 11.5 points per game.

Story highlights
- Every company has an emotional motivation, or hidden agenda, says Kevin Allen
- He believes tapping into the hidden agenda is key to getting your dream job
- Share your 'real ambition' to connect with potential employers
- When applying for a job, show that you connect with the company's core beliefs
Getting hired or promoted in today's competitive environment is no easy feat. But, then again, neither was our pitch for MasterCard.
The rules of the game were made clear: whichever advertising campaign had the best consumer test score would be declared the winner and awarded the MasterCard account. Yet, despite the fact that our now famous "Priceless" campaign did not fare well in testing, we won the business, and the rest is history. Fifteen years later, "Priceless" remains one of the most recognizable ad campaigns in recent history.
So why did we win the business, defying set rules and what early testing said would be a failure? According to MasterCard's CMO Larry Flanagan, it was because of our "core" -- we were a fighting and a cohesive team of competitors, who believed with every ounce of our beings that this campaign would crush their long-standing competitor, Visa. In other words, we had tapped their "hidden agenda."
The hidden agenda is the unspoken, visceral, emotional motivation that is behind every decision. Whether deciding who wins the billion dollar deal ... or the job, the hidden agenda is always at work. Your mission is to connect to it, and here's how:
Do your hidden-agenda homework
It's not enough to know factoids about the company. That's table stakes. Do your homework about the emotional state of the company. Are they on a high, yet searching for the next big thing? Are they in crisis and in need of a turnaround? Are they guided by a value system that drives the decisions they make?
It turns out that every decision stems from a hidden agenda, which can be found in three forms:
• Wants are about people viewing their circumstances through the lens of ambition and confidence.
• Needs are about viewing circumstances through the lens of fear or concern.
• Values are about people viewing the world entirely through the lens of their belief systems.
In addition to understanding the company's hidden agenda, study the person who will be interviewing you to determine their hidden agenda.
Connect with your real ambition
I had breakfast a few weeks ago with a very compelling young man. This electrifying fellow was exuberant, quirky bordering on eccentric, and without pretense. He spoke of what he hoped to create in his life, and I hired him on the spot.
Your real ambition is a deep desire to create something special that doesn't yet exist. It's bigger than mere ambition because it's noble. When the person you are trying to reach is touched by your real ambition and makes common cause, they'll hire you.
Try this: Think about what you want to accomplish, but precede with the words "I will ..." Make sure it is seemingly impossible, devoid of practicality and utterly fantastic. You can create a shared bond with your interviewer, because they see you both share a common vision.
Bond with your credo
A company is many things, but it is a community first. Each community has a set of values that bind them; I call it a credo, Latin for "I believe." Dig deeply and look behind the facts and figures. What does the company you're applying to believe? If you want to be part of it, know it and connect yourself to it.
Try this: Take out a sheet of paper, and write "I believe that ..." What words would you select? What values would you express that would make you proud for others to see? Connections are made because of the beliefs you share. You'll be hired, because your interviewer will see that your credo syncs perfectly with theirs.
Ignite with your core
Your core is what makes you stand out from the pack. While many people have similar traits, your core is comprised of a set of skills, abilities, and strengths that, together, are completely unique to you. And as was the case with MasterCard, your core will be seen as something the company needs -- the "answer to their prayers" and a means by which you can help them.
Critical to your core is authenticity. As a wonderful mentor once told me when I was presenting what I thought was a perfect version of myself and thinking that the real me was no road to glory: the person you are is the person they want to see. They are hiring you, not a manufactured version of something or someone else.
Try this: Ask five people who know you well and support you to write down the key characteristics they associate with you. Not only will you be staggered by what you'll get, but you will also feel proud and affirmed. You mobilize people to hire you, because their vital needs are satisfied by the authenticity and sincerity of your core.
Your pursuit for the promotion or job of your dreams is not a fact and figures game -- it is a human game. When you make a profound connection with the emotional desire of your boss or interviewer, the facts and figures will take the backseat, every time.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 18, 2013) - CBM Asia Development Corp. ("CBM Asia" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TCF)(US:CBMDF)(FRANKFURT:IY2) has selected Netherland, Sewell and Associates, Inc. (NSAI) to audit some of the Company's additional coalbed methane resources in Indonesia.
Based in Houston and Dallas, NSAI is a qualified reserves auditor with extensive experience in coalbed methane (CBM) resource auditing, having worked with most of the top operators in every major producing coal gas basin in the world. NSAI will conduct the audit under Canadian standards for disclosure (National Instrument 51-101 Standards of Disclosure For Oil and Gas Activities).
"CBM Asia previously selected NSAI to audit its interests in the Sekayu and Kutai West PSC's which determined a net 981 Bcf of recoverable unrisked prospective gas resource," (1) stated Alan T. Charuk, the CEO of the Company. "These two blocks account for only 6% of the Company's lease area in Indonesia, while the remaining acreage has not yet been subjected to an independent audit. We believe NSAI's experience in all major producing coal gas basins worldwide is integral in their ability to deliver qualified and balanced reports on some of our additional CBM interests in Indonesia. Once NSAI has completed its initial review, CBM Asia will provide an estimate for the report's release. We believe these audits will help to provide empirical evidence to support CBM Asia's 15 Tcf net prospective resource target." (2)
Netherland, Sewell & Associates, Inc. was established in 1961 and has offices in Dallas and Houston, Texas. Over the past 51 years, they have built a reputation for reliability matched by a dedication to service and a commitment to integrity. They provide services to the worldwide petroleum industry that include reserves reports and audits, acquisition and divestiture evaluations, simulation studies, exploration resources assessments, equity determinations, and management and advisory services.
CBM Asia Development Corp. is a Canadian-based unconventional gas company with significant coalbed methane ("CBM") exploration and development opportunities in Indonesia. The Company holds various participating interests in five production sharing contracts (each a "PSC") for CBM in Indonesia, with the right to farm-into 4 additional PSCs. Indonesia has one of the largest CBM resources in the world with a potential 453 trillion cubic feet in-place (3), more than double the country's natural gas reserves (Stevens and Hadiyanto, 2004). Since 2008 a total of 54 CBM PSCs have been granted by the Government of Indonesia, representing exploration commitments of well over US$100 million during the next 3 years. In addition to CBM Asia, other companies active in CBM exploration in Indonesia include BP, Dart Energy, ENI, ExxonMobil, Medco, Santos, and TOTAL. BP, ENI, and the Indonesian government have confirmed that commercial CBM production started in March 2011 from the Sanga-Sanga PSC and is being exported from the Bontang LNG facility. The Company trades on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol "TCF".www.cbmasia.ca

Computer-to-Screen Imaging System
M&R Introduces the i-Image ST
M&R's i-Image ST Computer-to-Screen Imaging System uses specially-formulated i-Pak water-based UV-blocking ink and advanced high-resolution inkjet technology to quickly generate opaque images on emulsion-coated screens. Computer-to-screen images are superior to traditional film positives, delivering greater detail and smoother halftone transitions. And since i-Image ST generates the image directly on the screen, there's no need for vacuum hold-down during the exposure process. This, coupled with the fact that light doesn't have to penetrate layers of film and glass, can reduce exposure time up to half. i-Image ST also eliminates the need for costly film positives, as well as the space and labor required to store and retrieve them. Because the image information is digital, it's easy to store and quick to retrieve. Since i-Image ST is electrically operated, there's no need to locate it near pneumatic lines.
The i-Image ST System includes computer, monitor, and M&R's proprietary RIP software. By providing complete control of print parameters, the RIP software ensures high-quality images at production-level speed. It provides full image scaling and positioning, has presets for common applications, and can be user-customized for specific art types and various mesh counts. Three i-Image ST models are available: i-Image ST 1, with one industrial printhead capable of processing up to 150 screens per 8-hour shift; i-Image ST 2, with two industrial printheads for processing up to 250 screens per shift; and i-Image ST 3, with three industrial printheads for processing up to 350 screens per shift. In fact, i-Image ST 3 can create a full-size image in as little as 30 seconds. All i-Image ST models process image areas up to 51 x 53 cm (20" x 21"), and accept most static and retensionable screen frames in sizes up to 66 x 91 cm (26" x 36"). And all i-Image STs are designed to fit through an 81 cm (32") doorway.
