The Spanish side have admitted their striker could leave the club this summer but have insisted it will be on their terms with Spurs interested in signing the Spain international
Andre Villas-Boas confirmed on Tuesday that Tottenham were interested in the Spain international as the club look to strengthen their options up front.
As Goal reported earlier, Tottenham have sent technical director Franco Baldini to negotiate a deal for the Spain frontman but the Spaniards have stated that they won't accept anything less than his buy-out clause.
"Soldado can go if he wants - for €30million and under our conditions," he told reporters.
"Valencia never had any intention of selling Soldado. If he goes then it is because the €30 million figure has been met, not a cent less or a cent more.
"The buying club will also have to accept Valencia's conditions of payment also.
"We agreed to meet Tottenham again to discuss the ways of paying and we did that because we understood that his buy-out clause would be met.
"Speaking about ways that deals are paid is normal and this will be done in a way that suits the financial department of Valencia and not that of any other clubs."
Soldado has a phenomenal goalscoring record at Valencia, having scored 81 goals in 141 appearances for Los Che.

USA pick seven uncapped players for Auty Cup
The USA Cricket Association has announced a 14-man squad for a four-match series against Canada at the Central Broward Regional Park in Florida from November 14-17. The squad includes seven players who have yet to represent USA at the senior level and just three who were a part of USA's most recent tournament squad at ICC WCL Division Four in Malaysia: Steven Taylor, Ryan Corns and Andy Mohammed. The tour includes one 50-over match, two T20s and the two-day Auty Cup match which was resurrected last year in Toronto after a 16-year hiatus.
Most first choice players for USA are unavailable to participate in the matches against Canada after exhausting their vacation time from work to participate in the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier and WCL Division Four.
USA captain Steve Massiah, vice-captain Sushil Nadkarni, Usman Shuja, Aditya Mishra, Aditya Thyagarajan, Elmore Hutchinson and Abhimanyu Rajp are all participating in the 2012 USACA National Championship, which was announced to take place for the weekend of November 10-11 in Florida, but will not be playing for USA in the mid-week matches against Canada. The absence of first-choice players will present an opportunity for fringe players to press their claims for selection to USA's squads for the ICC Americas Division One T20 and ICC WCL Division Three, which are both scheduled to take place next spring. No captain has been named for USA in the Auty Cup squad.
Two fringe players looking to cement a spot for next year's tours are Japen Patel and Adil Bhatti. Both were part of USA's squad at the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier in March but were dropped for September's tour of Malaysia. Medium-pacer Adrian Gordon last represented USA in 2011 but has been given a call-up after spending the past summer playing club cricket in the UK for Skegness Cricket Club in Lincolnshire. Gordon is also set to play club cricket in Western Australia during the northern winter.
The biggest surprise among the recalls is Barrington Bartley. Long considered one of the best fielders in the country, Bartley had been continuously omitted since his last appearance for USA at the WICB Cup in November 2008, but at 32 he will be the oldest player in the squad and one of the more experienced ones at international level having represented USA at the 2005 ICC Trophy in Ireland.
One of the most notable first-time selections is Timil Patel, 28, who made his first-class Ranji Trophy debut for Gujarat in 2002. Timil played 38 first-class matches for the state and last represented them in December 2009 before moving to Los Angeles. He is regarded by many domestic players as the best legspinner in America and took 47 wickets this season in Division One of the highly-competitive Southern California Cricket Association competition.
Three of USA's uncapped players at the senior level previously represented USA at the junior level in the 2010 ICC U-19 World Cup in New Zealand. Wicketkeeper Saami Siddiqui and fast bowlers Hammad Shahid and Naseer Jamali have been given their first senior team call-ups and will join their former U-19 teammates Taylor, Corns and Mohammed in Florida.
Canada has named a full-strength squad to tour USA; seven members of the side that toured the UAE in March for the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier were selected to go to Florida. Rizwan Cheema will captain the 13-man squad, which includes just one player yet to earn a cap for Canada, Srimantha Wijeyratne.
USA Squad: Danial Ahmed, Barrington Bartley, Adil Bhatti, Ryan Corns, Adrian Gordon, Naseer Jamali, Andy Mohammed, Japen Patel, Timil Patel, Hammad Shahid, Saami Siddiqui (wk), Nicholas Standford, Timothy Surujbally, Steven Taylor (wk).
Canada Squad: Rizwan Cheema (captain), Khurram Chohan, Daesrath Damodar, Jeremy Gordon, Ruvindu Gunasekera, Jimmy Hansra, Usman Limbada, Henry Osinde, Hiral Patel, Raza-ur-Rehman, Junaid Siddiqui, Hamza Tariq (wk), Srimantha Wijeyratne.

CriKUSA on October 29, 2012, 17:38 GMT
It is good to see some young players in the squad against Canada. The absence of Regional, Western and Eastern conferences in 2012 are absolutely not fair with the cricket players across the USA. How does USACA expects players to keep working hard and improve their game if there are no competitive regional and conferences for players to showcase their talent.
Wake up ICC!
Masking_Tape on October 28, 2012, 7:50 GMT
@AzAb, obviously you know nothing about the US, US sports or US cricket for that matter. No one here knows C about cricket.
dummy4fb on October 28, 2012, 3:20 GMT
Congrats Andy Mohamed to have been chosen to represent USA....ayube
dummy4fb on October 27, 2012, 23:34 GMT
@AzAb, how do you expect the sport to thrive here? Most professional cricket players worldwide, except the top few %, earn peanuts (compared to the athletes in other top sports). Why would the North American indigenous players choose cricket when they can make a much better living in other sports? The US especially is contributing so much money (in the form of TV rights fee and sponsorship) to ICC and yet only a tiny percentage of it are coming back to us that can barely pay our players. If you want cricket to thrive worldwide and get more respect the players salary and compensation have to get better.
dummy4fb on October 27, 2012, 22:54 GMT
I'm surprised Canada never got full membership status in the 1920s considering they were also a commonwealth nation and has a rich Cricketing history infact both the USA and Canada were the first two teams that played in an International match I believe. But what the article mentions is good for Cricket regardless great to see.
timmyj on October 27, 2012, 18:18 GMT
There are no "indigenous" cricket players in the USA. 99.8% are ex-pats or of ex-pat parents. And USACA is perfectly happy to keep it this way.

@Harmony111: hmm...No!!! I read it as Auty Cup :P

Donald Sterling has been shamed, fined $2.5 million and banned for life by the NBA for his incendiary remarks about race.
But none of that changes the fact that Sterling still owns the Los Angeles Clippers, which gives him options.
"This may set up nicely for him," said David Carter, executive director of USC's Sports Business Institute. "He could ride off into the sunset a la Frank McCourt."
Much like the former Dodgers owner, Sterling might be forced to sell his franchise at an opportune moment, shortly before the NBA renegotiates its lucrative national television contract. An auction-like frenzy could drive the price toward $1 billion.
Or the historically litigious Sterling might turn his back on that staggering profit, choosing to stand and fight.
"If he truly doesn't want to sell, I'm going to guess he could tie this up for the rest of his life," said Richard Sheehan, author of "Keeping Score: The Economics of Big-Time Sports." "It would be an absolute disaster."
Attempts to reach Sterling for comment Tuesday were unsuccessful, so his immediate plans remained unclear.
Shortly before NBA Commissioner Adam Silver announced the league's punitive actions, however, Fox News contributor Jim Gray reported that Sterling had told him he would not sell.
His resolve might waver if, in coming days, at least three-quarters of the league's owners vote to oust him. And if more sponsors follow CarMax and State Farm in severing relations with the team.
"Something dealing with race, you don't recover fully," said David E. Johnson, chief executive of Strategic Vision, an Atlanta branding agency. "As long as he is the owner, the Clippers will never get past that."
Sterling's decades-long climb into the ranks of L.A. billionaires began during the Depression in Chicago, where he was born Donald Tokowitz to an immigrant family that moved to Boyle Heights when he was young.
After working his way through law school — and changing his last name to Sterling — he spent years as a divorce and personal injury attorney before purchasing a Beverly Hills apartment building and launching a more lucrative second career.
By the late 1990s, Sterling had built one of the largest real estate empires in Southern California. He purchased the Clippers in 1981 for $12.5 million and moved them from San Diego to Los Angeles three years later.
Though the team struggled to win for many seasons, the NBA's rising popularity helped boost Sterling's personal fortune, which Forbes recently estimated at $1.9 billion.
Last year, the Sacramento Kings were sold for $535 million. The impending sale of the Milwaukee Bucks is expected to bring $550 million.
Sports business executives say a major-market franchise should be worth significantly more. In addition to the league TV contract, the Clippers can seek a new local deal after the 2015-16 season.
"The timing is right now because the Clippers are ascending and the Lakers are on the descent," said Sheehan, the author who also teaches sports economics at the University of Notre Dame. "Instead of the Lakers being 'Showtime,' the Clippers are 'Showtime.'"
NBA owners have some precedent for forcing Sterling out. Through the 1990s, Major League Baseball twice punished Cincinnati Reds owner Marge Schott for racist and inappropriate comments.
Fellow owners reportedly worked behind the scenes, persuading Schott to sell her stake in the team.
Even if the NBA board of governors gets its three-quarters vote, Sterling might not go quietly — his history of legal ferocity extends far beyond that early career as a lawyer.
In 2005, he prevailed against an employee, Sumner Davenport, who sued him for sexual harassment. Six years later, he successfully defended himself against charges of employment discrimination brought by former Clippers General Manager Elgin Baylor.
Sterling has also suffered losses in the courtroom.
The Housing Rights Center in Los Angeles filed a discrimination suit against him in 2003 and negotiated a confidential settlement. Sterling later paid $2.7 million to the Justice Department and tenants groups to end another discrimination suit.
In the former case, U.S. District Judge Dale S. Fischer described the "scorched earth" tactics of Sterling's legal team as "often unacceptable, and sometimes outrageous."
Over the years, Sterling has sued a former mistress and two former coaches. Legal experts would not be surprised if he takes on the NBA.
"It's distasteful, it's disgusting, but what he said is still ostensibly private conduct," said Robert Boland, a New York University sports management professor.
An antitrust action would be problematic for the league, but Sterling's franchise could suffer in the process.
"If he doesn't sell, will Doc Rivers remain?" Sheehan asked, referring to the Clippers' popular coach. "Will the players remain? Is he ever going to be able to sign another quality free agent?
"All of these things are going to damage the value of the franchise."
The impending off-season could give Sterling and the league a chance to settle matters.
If the beleaguered owner decides to sell, sponsors could be lured back. Upset coaches and players could be mollified.
And fans would probably embrace a new boss.
"He would be seen as someone coming in to revive the franchise," Carter said. "People would rally around him."
Times staff writers Nathan Fenno, Bill Shaikin and Andrea Chang contributed to this report.

Could the Deepwater Horizon Alter the Trajectory of ERISA Stock Drop Litigation?
0 Comments
Permalink |
BP has a giant employee savings plan, making it a prime target for stock drop type ERISA breach of fiduciary duty claims in light of the Deepwater Horizon leak, as I mentioned here in this post, and the lawsuits and the investigations that will eventually result in lawsuits are coming out of the woodwork as fast as vampires in one of the Twilight movies. As I noted in this earlier post, I am beyond skeptical of any such claims that are premised on the simple thesis that the fiduciaries breached their duties by not anticipating and accounting for the risk of this type of a loss when deciding to include or emphasize company stock in the plan. However, less flippantly and more exactingly, the same is not necessarily true for the alternative thesis, which I assume to be what many of these claims will play out as, that the fiduciary breach doesn't relate to this specific environmental loss and its impact on the stock holding, but rather is that, in light of the regulatory and environmental universe in which BP operates, it was imprudent to hold or allow employees to hold a disproportionate amount of company stock; in other words, that the risk profile of the accounts as a whole was too high because too much of the investment was in company stock in an industry subject to unique and potentially catastrophic risks. Just a quick, non-analytical glance at BrightScope indicates a large company stock exposure in the BP employee savings plan, incidentally. In this sense, these claims, and the BP fiduciaries' exposure, is no different than other instances of companies whose stock fell at a time that employee retirement accounts held a disproportionately high share of that one stock. What makes the claim here a little different, however, is the argument that there is something unique to the industry that calls for less company stock being offered to employees and instead a greater fiduciary emphasis on diversification than would be the case in other industries. For instance, if a Gillette or a Grace is sued after a stock drop, the argument is essentially that prudent investing practice as a whole calls for greater diversification, and the claims against the fiduciaries, to dress them up, may also include the argument that the fiduciaries should have anticipated stock market risks based on their knowledge of the company and its industry that should have caused them to prevent the excessive accumulation of company stock. With the BP claims, though, what you would have, I suspect, is less the argument that greater diversification was needed as a general principle, in favor instead of the argument that the oil industry itself is so subject to unique, stock value demolishing risks - from tanker crashes, to oil well blow outs, to nationalization, to wars - that it was simply imprudent to allow an excess exposure to the industry and certainly to any one particular company in that industry. (Incidentally, there is no better overview of these topics and the peculiar risks of the oil industry than Daniel Yergin's The Prize, which may perhaps be necessary background reading for the law clerk of any judge assigned one of these cases).
Its an alluring theory, but one that raises the question of whether it plays out against the backdrop of past case law and the development of fiduciary standards when it comes to employer stock holdings, which would suggest that the claims on their merits have weaknesses, or whether instead they play out against the political backdrop of the Deepwater Horizon event and the economic losses it is strewing across a range of actors, including but not limited to the employee shareholders. If it plays out against that later backdrop - as a, perhaps, unseen or unspoken influence - the question becomes whether this fact pattern could shift the nature of these types of claims in a direction that could give them far more traction than the past history of claims of this nature suggests would otherwise be the case.
Can the Deepwater Horizon Spill Sink the Fiduciaries of BP's 401(k) Plan as Well?
0 Comments
Permalink |
Well, someone thinks so. You can count me, though, as monstrously skeptical that you could tag the fiduciaries of the BP 401(k) plan with breach of fiduciary duty for overexposure to company stock because they failed to expect the Deepwater Horizon explosion and account for it by greater diversification. On the other hand are two notes: (1) perhaps there is a circuit, somewhere out there, with fiduciary liability standards for company stock investment that are so loose that including BP stock ahead of such an event could be deemed an actionable breach; and (2) the decline in the value of the plan's assets may be so large that, if a class gets certified, even a minor settlement to avoid a potential ruling against the fiduciaries could easily run into the tens of millions.

After recent discussions about surfing beaches, and even though surfing beaches soon won't matter until next season, I was wondering how accurate this image from the Belmar website is about Belmar beaches. Is it accurate to say that you have 20 blocks of beach, at about 1.7 miles total, and at least one of those blocks is dedicated to surfing, three to bodyboarding, and one to kayaking? Please explain.

Yes that is Belmar. And dedicated is the wrong word to use.

It gets horribly crowded. That is the only place that I surf that when I leave I am more pissed off then when I went into the water. It is also the ONLY place I surf that I get dinged boards at. The people who normally surf the surf beach are all pains in the ass and every kook from 95 gets dumped off there. Most people who surf their need a lesson in etiquette also.
I only surf there when I am not in the mood to drive further south or I am surfing alone.
Kook Soup is a great description .

Yes that's really Belmar. I have a post about it under the "Call To Arms" thread.
Everyone from NYC and PA comes there. If you can get parking within a mile of the beach, your lucky. The surfing beach is tiny and lots of idiots.
I just got a brand new board two weeks ago. On the third day out, it got damaged. It's now at the shop. Guess where this happened?
I go there because I have a pass, and it was one of the cheapest. Anyway, this will be my last year there. Will I go back to Belmar...yes....in the Spring, the Fall, Dawn patrols, evenings, etc. That's about it.

2002 Ford Expedition XLT 2WD 4dr SUV (4.6L 8cyl 4A)Review
This vehicle was in my family since new; bought two new ones to get fleet discount. Wife and I just bought one of them from family. We were looking at BMW 5 series for safety and sportiness and at other sports sedans. We tried this out and were sold immediately. Entertainment package keeps kids happy and quiet. It is like a moving living room, comfy and safe. Steel girders in doors for side impact. "Handsome" styling. We said we would never buy one but once we drove it we loved it. Very easy for my petite wife to drive, drives like much smaller vehicle. Very luxurious inside and a lot of room. We are on CA freeways and I never worry about my wife and kids being safe in this thing. It is a luxury linerBest Features
Entertainment package, comfortable leather seats, nice stereo, safety and car-like ride for a land yacht. When your kids are in this car you feel like you are in a living room; road trips fun. Safe big and friendly. Family owned from new -- 104k plus miles, no problems until bad mechanic knocked a hose off.Worst Features
Gas mileage (in fantasyland big engine gets 30 mpg). Get over it, you can buy big and feel safe, or small and get squashed like a bug. I will gladly pay more in gas and have my family survive an accident. Parking is hard in urban areas with compact spaces (San Jose, SF, NYC); its a suburb SUV.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, Percy Jackson or Twilight. These belong to JK Rowling, Rick Riordan, and Stephenie Meyer respectably.
Rated: T
A/N: Yeah so I lied…it's not summer yet but spring break had me on the couch with a sketch pad and millions of ideas coming in and out of my head! So just for fun here is a preview or more like the prologue to a little something I've been mulling over my head since I read the Percy Jackson series. So tell me what ya'll think. I will probably take a second look at it during the summer as with Love Transcends Time and Oceans which, by the way, may contain a new chapter as it will be rewritten and re-posted so to those of you who liked that crackpot love story I pulled out of nowhere check back to it sometime in late May early June!
Background: This takes place in the Percy Jackson/Twilight universe. For those of you unfamiliar with PJ, it's a series of five books that follow the adventures of Percy Jackson who is the son of the Ancient Greek Sea God Poseidon. The Harry Potter world itself (though I love it to bits and am saving up to visit the wizarding world of HP in Florida) will not be used. Some of the characters (Harry being one) will make appearances but magic will only be through whomever I choose the God or Goddess parent to be. Parings and such will be given at bottom of the page.
WARNING: this story will contain the following: Boy love, meaning that yes two male characters will eventually be trading some form of bodily fluid. If you don't approve be so kind as to remove your self from this page at this moment. A crossover of characters and out of character moments will happen! Reason being that I am only borrowing the names and some attributes of the originals, it's a fan fiction meaning that as the writer I can make Harry giggle or faint whenever I want, don't like it please remove yourself from this page at this moment. We will also have a few dirty jokes here and there along with a naughty word or two! Thank you for reading now please enjoy. (One last thing: I don't beta so excuse any mistakes!)
2nd A/N: I changed Harry's God parent from Hermes to the Goddess Hebe to make things fit better.
Ancient Promises
September 1917
Two boys lay wrapped in each others arms under the shade of a giant maple tree. The summer breeze caressed their hair as they shared light kisses and feather soft touches. The younger of the two brushed his hand through the other boy's hair before pulling him in for a heart wrenching kiss. As they pulled away the older of the two put a hand under the others chin and looked him straight in the eyes, "Not that I'm complaining, but what was that about Harry?"
Harry closed his eyes and took a deep breath working up his courage. He shifted himself and moved to straddle his boyfriend's hips. The other moved back so that he was resting on the tree bark while holding on to Harry's hips.
"Edward I need you to promise me something," Harry said as he caressed Edwards face as if he were trying to memorize ever dip and curve of the boy's features.
Edward's brow furrowed. He placed a hand over the one Harry had on his face and studied the younger boy before nodding, silently asking him to continue.
"If one day….I don't come back…if one day I finally run out of luck…promise me…promise me you will move on, and please I beg you not to look back." Harry blurted out before he could change his mind.
Edward stared in alarm. He didn't understand why Harry would ask him to do such a thing.
"Why are you…."
"Just answer me please…promise me you will live on and grow old and fall in love again. Please promise me." Harry said as he buried his face in the crook of Edward's neck and held on for dear life. He could feel himself loosing his nerve. Edward always did that to him. If only the monsters knew that the "strong" and "brave" son of Hebe had a weakness more deadly than that of Achilles' heel.
"Harry why are you…."
"Please I'm begging you…please promise me…" Harry pleaded as he felt tears stinging at his eyes.
"It would be an empty promise." Edward finally said as he held on to Harry like a life line.
"It wouldn't be the first one made to me." Harry mumbled as the tears finally freed themselves. He clutched Edward harder still as silent sobs racked his body.
"Then I promise, but I don't guarantee." Edward said softly as he held Harry in an iron grip, tears falling down his own green eyes.*
"Thank you." Harry whispered as he pulled away and crashed his lips onto his lovers lips. He knew that Edward was confused, but details would only make his situation more real and right now all he wanted was the fantasy, the myth, the escape from reality, and the heavenly bliss that was his love for Edward.
August 1918
Harry stood at the border between Camp Halfblood* and the mortal world. His eyes were hard and cold like steel. It would be the battle that won it or lost it all and he knew he would not return from it alive. So many strong and brave Heroes, some his own kin, had fallen. Soon, he knew, he would follow, but not without one last stand. Was he scared? Hell yeah he was, but for the safety of his loved ones he would stand.
"Hey Harry? If you had a chance to choose between Elysium and Rebirth, what would you go for?" a boy with dark hair and sea green eyes asked him as they waited for their enemy to make the first move.
Harry gave a faint smile as he took a final glance at a picture of his boyfriend, "Rebirth…a second chance to be with him would be nice."
"You know you will only come back as a demigod again." The boy said as he uncapped his weapon.
"Hopefully an ignorant one."* he replied as he brought out his own sword, similar to the one his fallen cousin used.
"That's what I told Luke." the boy laughed bitterly as he gazed at Harry's blade.
"What did he say?"
"'Ignorance is bliss Percy, that's why I love you.'" Percy chuckled out as he tore his gaze from the weapon that reminded him of his fallen lover.
"An insult and a last chance to get into your pants?" Harry asked as he quirked an eyebrow.
"Yeah…that crafty bastard." Percy said as he clutched a silver ring that hung around his neck. Luke had given it to him before the battles began and it was the only thing that kept him from following Luke to the grave.
"It's time." Percy said with a slight glint in his eye. His thirst for revenge was growing. They had gone against his father. They had taken his first and last love and now they were going to pay.
"See you in the next life Percy." Harry said as he got into a fighting stance and took a deep breath, "Edward…I love you." he whispered.
Thunder rolled overhead as the enemy approached them. Both boys no longer felt fear. This would be their last battle and they would make sure to win it, no matter what the cost.
A loud horn went off and both sides charged. The last thing any the survivors remembered was the sound of clashing blades and the screams of fallen heroes.
Two days latter found victory to the Gods and the residents of Camp Halfblood. On the third day they mourned the dead and burned them as custom.
"Chiron," a daughter of Aphrodite said before the last two bodies were burned, "They carried these with them."
She showed the centaur a silver ring and a photograph, "Luke gave this to Percy and I believe this was Harry's boyfriend." she whispered.
Chiron took the items and looked at them with sadness.
"Let them burn with their owners," He said as he placed the items with each respective body, "So that the memories will go with them." He placed a hand over the eyes of both bodies before placing the gold drachmas and said a final blessing. He moved away and allowed the cremation to begin.
"May you both rest in peace Harry son of Hebe and Percy son of Poseidon." he whispered as the flames engulfed the bodies of the two young heroes.
A/N: And that was the prologue! A bit melodramatic I think….hmmm… Did you like? Did I confused you? Should I stop reading so many fantasy novels?! Give me some feed back if you feel up to it. Any questions, concerns, or comments may be left with my sexy man secretary (AKA the review button or the PM link on my profile). One last thing, I may have missed a few points in my final review and sometimes I see a scene in my head but it doesn't compute to text on screen, so if ya'll catch something send me some smoke signals and it shall be fixed ASAP. Thanks for reading!
* So I am not 100% on the original eye color of EC soooo I went with what I have read on other FF. I've only read the first book and that's it so yeah help on that would be cool unless you don't mind me messing with the Twi-facts.
*What Harry meant by ignorant was that when a halfblood realizes he or she is a halfblood they are more easily found and killed by the monsters that hunt them.
*Camp Halfblood is a fictional summer camp in NYC where the children of Greek Gods and Goddesses find refuge from all the mythical creatures that try to eat them the moment the realize they are Demigods or Halfbloods as they are more commonly named.
Pairings at the beginning:
Future Pairs:
Edward/Bella(depending on how I feel this may not change….do I smell the plot?)
For now those are the important facts more will be released when I feel like procrastinating some college homework!

Wedge indentation into elastic–plastic single crystals, 1: Asymptotic fields for nearly-flat wedge

Abstract Asymptotic stress and deformation fields under the contact point singularities of a nearly-flat wedge indenter and of a flat punch are derived for elastic ideally-plastic single crystals with three effective in-plane slip systems that admit a plane strain deformation state. Face-centered cubic (FCC), body-centered cubic (BCC), and hexagonal-close packed (HCP) crystals are considered. The asymptotic fields for the flat punch are analogous to those at the tip of a stationary crack, so a potential solution is that the deformation field consists entirely of angular constant stress plastic sectors separated by rays of plastic deformation across which stresses change discontinuously. The asymptotic fields for a nearly-flat wedge indenter are analogous to those of a quasistatically growing crack tip fields in that stress discontinuities can not exist across sector boundaries. Hence, the asymptotic fields under the contact point singularities of a nearly-flat wedge indenter are significantly different than those under a flat punch. A family of solutions is derived that consists entirely of elastically deforming angular sectors separated by rays of plastic deformation across which the stress state is continuous. Such a solution can be found for FCC and BCC crystals, but it is shown that the asymptotic fields for HCP crystals must include at least one angular constant stress plastic sector. The structure of such fields is important because they play a significant role in the establishment of the overall fields under a wedge indenter in a single crystal. Numerical simulations—discussed in detail in a companion paper—of the stress and deformation fields under the contact point singularity of a wedge indenter for a FCC crystal possess the salient features of the analytical solution.

New Chief Executive appointed at Brass Bands England
Brass Bands England (BBE) has announced the appointment of Andrew Coe as Chief Executive with immediate effect. Andrew Coe joins the executive team on an interim basis in order to provide a focus to the organisation's operational functions.
Andrew has wide experience of managing businesses based in the area of sports governance and major events. From 2001 until 2014, Andrew held the position of CEO to the commercial arm of the governing body of motorsport in the UK and was responsible for managing some of the nation's largest annual sporting events, including the British rounds of the World Rally Championship and the F1 British Grand Prix. Originally from Yorkshire, Andrew played cornet for a number of the region's bands in the 1970's and 80's including Horbury Victoria and Yorkshire Imps Bands. He took up the cornet again two years ago and currently enjoys playing alongside his daughter in the Sussex-based LGB Brass.
On his appointment, Andrew Coe commented: "I was delighted to be asked to work alongside the great group of people at BBE. I am from a banding family so to have the opportunity to share my professional experience with an organisation which is passionate about promoting the benefits which brass bands bring to the wider community is a real privilege."
BBE Chairman Mike Kilroy commented: "Andrew was appointed as a Trustee to BBE late last year. With the recent increase in membership activity resulting from the successful BBE Conference in December and new initiatives such as Bandsafe, the Trustees have recognised that the professional experience that Andrew brings to BBE would be valuable in helping to bring a renewed focus to the organisations operational activities. This is a crucial time in the development of BBE as we look forward to expanding the services which we plan to bring to the brass band community and in advance of a substantial new funding bid from the Arts Council for 2018. The overwhelming will of the Trustees is that the organisation is fully fit for purpose and that we deliver a truly professional service to all our stakeholders, members and to the banding community as a whole. Andrew's business and leadership skills will ensure that this happens and I look forward to working with him through what is the most exciting period in our organisations history".

Worst pain in the world.
As a mom (or parent, I guess) I think the WORST pain, is seeing your child in emotional pain.
Physical pain, the minor stuff, like scraped knees, stitches. bumps on the head, we can kiss, hug, put bacitracin and a band-aide on. Boo-boo all better.
But when a kid is hurting inside, due to life, and they cry and are scared or sad, for me, that pain is the worst pain I have ever felt.
Whenever my kids struggle, I try and do anything I can to fix it. I contact teachers, principals, counselors, coaches, kids, and their parents.
I am not sure why it seems to be so hard on me, but has been almost impossible for me not to react. And sometimes react inappropriately.
Here is what I've learned. Teachers are usually cool. Some principals are cool. Many coaches are cool. Most kids and their parents are never cool. Ever.
No one ever thinks their kid is wrong. And no kid will listen to another parent. I have tried to explain certain situations until I'm blue in the face. Believe me, I have learned (just recently) that there is no use. Plus, I always end up over doing it, and then people stop listening and start get defensive. Which shuts down any communication. And has even gotten me called "immature." (Like, can you even imagine...okay I sometimes agree with that, but it's not easy for me.)
No one wants to believe their kid isn't perfect. And some kids (people) are just plain assholes. I know that stems from their own emotional and personal issues. Too bad we all sometimes cross their path. That is life.
But I try to fix it, and almost always make it worse or get no result at all. I have GOT to stop doing that. For myself, because it is gut wrenchingly painful, for them because they need to figure stuff out themselves. But I love them, so...
I have born to me some very sensitive children. This could be for many reasons. I am obviously sensitive. We have been through some shit as a family. My kids have been abandoned by me when I was using, by their father with his mental illness, and that has affected their lives in many different ways.
So if I see this pain in them, and they are struggling with friendships, teachers or whoever, I feel guilty. I dont know how to help them. Save them. I didn't give them the tools they need. I can't kiss their ouchie and put a bandaide on it. I can't make their pain stop. I can hold them, listen to them (if they'll talk), and love them. But I can't promise it will get better. Or easier. Life can hurt.
Just when I think I have this, life will happen and they get hurt. My pain, I hope, is greater than theirs. Because it hurts. But I can't teach them good coping skills unless I start modeling them. And I fuck that up a lot.
If one of you tells me to go to Alanon, I will be SHOCKED. I KNOW okay?

I stumbled across your blog several months ago and read everything you write. Addiction is not an issue for me but I relate to almost everything you write. I so admire your openness and honesty. Stay strong.

Every single sentence of this post could have been written by ME. My daughter has had major struggles, We are currently struggling as a family and I want to make it all go away. I also model coping skills inappropriately even though I tell myself 100 tiems a day I'm not going to. You are not alone in this but are doing the very best you can and your kids know this too.

TJ and I visited the Wilds Christian Camp in Brevard, NC this weekend with some very good friends. Words cannot describe the sense of renewal and refreshment we left with on Saturday evening. It was evident that the Lord used various situations this past week to prepare us for this weekend, and coupled with the preaching we received, we left better prepared to lead lives pleasing to Christ.
Pastor Dan Brooks of Heritage Bible Church in Greer, SC preached several messages on love from 1 Corinthians 13:4-8. I have read, been preached to, and even taught this passage several times prior to this trip. However, Pastor Brooks applied this message in a different, more appropriate way, and both TJ and I were convicted of sinning against each other in various ways within our marriage. Basically, Pastor Brooks preached the concept of living the gospel each day, not just the day of salvation. Now, if you are not saved, this won't make much sense to you. However, if you are saved, it's basically turning to the One who loved first: God.
It was because of God's love for us that we are saved and find mercy and forgiveness at the Cross. When we are tempted to be bitter, irritated, etc. with others because we feel we have been wronged, we are to remember how God loved us. God is patient, God is kind. God does not boast. God does not rejoice in iniquity but rather rejoices in truth. God never fails (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). By replacing the word 'love' with God in the above verses, we get a better picture of what the Lord requires us to do. Remember how broken you were when you got saved. You admitted your wrongdoing and accepted the forgiveness Jesus had to offer. God requires us to have that same repentant heart daily, and to extend it to others as He has extended it to us.
We also had plenty of time to reflect on God and His goodness. This time alone with the Lord allowed for us to make some decisions in our lives. One major decision I made over the weekend was to have more children now. I had always planned to have more but wanted to wait until I was finished with school. I have 1 more year to go (only 8 classes!) but the Lord has really been convicting me to have more in His time, not mine. Some verses used to convict me are Psalm 127:3-5. These verses compare children to arrows, and blessed (happy) is the man whose quiver is full of arrows. I haven't shared that with anyone, as most people in my family think I am crazy to want 4 or more children. We'll see what happens. Now that I've agreed, I may not be able to get pregnant again or it won't happen for a while. I don't really care; it's more of a heart matter between me and the Lord. The important thing is that I am willing to submit to God's control over my life instead of me trying to control it. I can't really describe it- I hope it makes sense.
Along with the preaching, we had plenty of free time to enjoy ourselves. Probably the most exciting time for me was the Giant Swing (see the pictures). It is 75 feet in the air, and is AWESOME! We also went on a hike, rode the "land trolley" and enjoyed coffee equivalent to that of Starbucks. The food was wonderful and the time spent with friends even better. TJ has promised me a return trip in February for a Valentine's Day retreat; I can't wait!

Government establishment interests are pulling out all the stops to promote an optional state Obamacare Medicaid expansion, not just in Michigan but around the country.
The lobbying of hospitals and other health care special interests has already been reported, but it's not the only source.
For example, press reports are describing a report last week from the bond-rating agency Moody's Investor Services suggesting that, because Obamacare cuts some extra money given to hospitals that treat especially high numbers of Medicaid patients, states that don't go along with the expansion will lose out, potentially damaging the credit-worthiness of either the state itself or of some hospitals.
Stay Engaged
That may sound scary to legislators currently debating the issue — maybe scary enough to make them support the expansion, even if they suspect it will become a "roach motel" that traps their states into unaffordable extra spending down the road.
But hang on a minute! Just a few weeks earlier Moody's issued an unrelated warning that nine states may suffer credit rating declines in part because they have particular "economic sensitivity to federal spending reductions (or) dependence on federal transfers." In fact, Moody's warned states that it would be considering their Medicaid spending itself as a key indicator of whether they are too dependent upon federal money.
That makes sense, because Medicaid is by far the largest source of federal transfers that flow through state governments, and the Obamacare expansion of the program represents a massive increase in those transfers.
So which is it, Moody's?
Many questions have been raised about the federal government's future ability and willingness to back its promise to cover 90 percent of the Medicaid expansion's cost from the year 2020 forward in perpetuity.
Weighing the risks, it seems that states should be even more worried about increasing this source of "dependence on federal transfers" than some comparatively minor change in Medicaid funding details.
Update, March 20, 11:40 a.m.: The House appropriations subcommittee crafting a Department of Community Health budget for the next fiscal year has reported a bill that does not include the Medicaid expansion.
No one should imagine the issue has been settled, however. This is just the first of many steps in creating a final state budget for next year that probably won't arrive on the governor's desk before June. There is plenty of time for the special interests who are pulling out all the stops for the Medicaid expansion to persuade Obamacare-shy Republican majorities in the House and Senate to go their way.

Spicy Sweet Potato Sausage Hash
1 sweet potato, peeled, chopped
1 lb turkey sausage
2 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 Tb apple cider vinegar
2 Tb brown sugar
15.25 oz black beans, rinsed and drained
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
salt & pepper to taste
1.) Boil the potato until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
2.) In a separate pan (this dish all comes together in one pan but you dirty two dishes to make it this way), fry the sausage until mostly done. Add the spices and cook for five minutes.
3.) Toss the vinegar in the pan and stir, scraping up the dark bits on the bottom of the pan. Add the brown sugar and toss in the black beans. Add in the sweet potato and cook just until it's all heated through. Toss in the chopped cilantro. Salt and pepper to taste.
4.) There's so much you can do with this hash. Eat it as is or scoop it into a flour tortilla and drizzle on some heated enchilada sauce from a can. Or take the same enchilada sauce and pour enough on the hash to make it moist and serve it on rolls like a sloppy joe. If you have little ones who won't eat food that's touching anything but air you can serve the separate portions like the picture below. The possibilities are...well, there's a bunch.

Standard commercial vehicles often are too heavy duty for small business owners, including contractors, and SUVs, minivans, and cars don't provide the same convenience and durability as vans and trucks. Ford thinks it has the answer to this problem: the Transit Connect light-duty commercial van. The van, which has been available in Europe since the early 2000s and will hit the U.S. market this summer, not only stores materials, products, and tools more efficiently and loads more easily than consumer vehicles, it also is more compact than a standard commercial van, which makes it easier to maneuver on tight city streets as well as more fuel efficient, Ford claims.
Furthermore, the van features a number of optional technological features, such as an in-dash computer and fleet management software.
Transit Connect highlights:
- 1,600-pound payload capacity
- 22-mpg city and 25-mpg highway EPA fuel rating
- 135.3 cubic feet of cargo space
- 2-liter Duratec I-4 engine
- 39-foot curb-to-curb turning circle
- Split-rear cargo doors that open to 180 degrees
standard, or an optional 255 degrees - High-strength-steel-reinforced body shell, front and
side high-strength-steel cross members, and
side impact protection
"Now a small business owner can have a choice in a light-duty vehicle ready for commercial use," Len Deluca, director of sales and marketing for Ford's commercial truck segment, said during a press event in Alexandria, Va.
Transit Connect, which has a base price of $21,475, is 180.7 inches long, 70.7 inches wide (without the mirrors), and 79.3 inches high at curb. By comparison, Ford's 2009 E-150 commercial cargo van measures 216.7 inches long, 79.4 inches wide (without the mirrors), and 82.4 inches high.
Besides fuel efficiency, maneuverability, and a spacious storage area, the most impressive thing about the Ford van may be its optional Work Solutions package, which also is available on some Ford trucks. These high-tech options include:
An on-board computer, which allows users to browse the Web, remotely access work computers, and complete documents on site. It also has GPS navigation. ($1,395)
The Crew Chief system, which lets fleet owners track and monitor vehicles. ($550)
Tool Link, which uses Radio Frequency Identification to ensure all tools and equipment are in the van. ($1,220)
Nokia Bluetooth functionality for hands-free phone operation. ($220)
The van also can be fitted with shelves, racks, and other storage accessories for $300 to $400, according to the auto maker.
Ron Caffi, president of Alexandria-based Caffi Contracting Services, opened up his business for a pit stop during the press event. Caffi doesn't own a Transit Connect, but was asked by Ford to review materials about the vehicle. He said the van's GPS system could save his plumbing service technicians five to 10 minutes of drive time per delivery, as well as make it easier for his workers to navigate unfamiliar territory if he expands his business into Washington, D.C.
The vehicle also is easier to drive in the city than his heavy-duty vans, Caffi said, and the fleet management system would allow him to send the closest worker to unexpected jobs.
However, Caffi remarked that the van is too small to handle the heavy equipment needed for some major construction jobs. But, he said he envisions it for residential service work, general contracting, finish carpentry, and painting projects.
Although he doesn't have plans to buy one immediately, the remodeler raved about Transit Connect. "I'm glad to see an American manufacturer step up and fill a need that's been around for a long time."
