Reports: Maloofs reach agreement to sell Kings to Sacramento group
The Maloof family has reached an agreement to sell their controlling interest in the Kings to a Sacramento-based investment group led by TIBCO chairman Vivek Ranadive, according to multiple reports.
The Sacramento Bee reports the agreement is based on a valuation of $535 million.
A Sacramento investors group has reached a deal with the Maloof family to buy the Kings for an NBA record valuation of $535 million, a source has told The Sacramento Bee. The agreement, reached today, is expected to be announced sometime Friday.
Sacramento's KXTV reported that the "deal is done" and CBSSports.com reported that "both sides have agreed to transfer ownership" at a $535 million valuation, with an announcement expected on Friday.
The valuation is up slightly from the $525 million valuation used in the original sale agreement reached between the Maloofs and an investment group led by Valiant Capital's Chris Hansen and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer back in January. The Hansen/Ballmer group, which intended to purchase the Kings and relocate the team to Seattle, offered to increase its bid to as much as $625 million last week.
Forbes valued the Kings franchise at $300 million as recently as January 2012. The Kings franchise moved to Sacramento from Kansas City in 1985 and the Maloof family took majority control in 1999.
The agreement comes one day after NBA commissioner David Stern told reporters in Dallas that the league's Board of Governors had voted 22-8 to reject the bid to relocate the franchise to Seattle. Stern also said that the league would begin working with the Maloofs and Ranadive in hopes of reaching a deal that would keep the franchise in Sacramento.
"We will talk to the Maloofs and see in the next 24 to 48 hours to see if we can help facilitate an agreement to be signed between the Ranadive group and the Maloofs for the sale of the franchise in Sacramento," Stern said. "The [relocation] committee recommended to the board and it was adopted that if the Sacramento community could produce a site, a construction team, a financially strong ownership group and the kind of support by the city and the region that [Sacramento Mayor Kevin] Johnson has galvanized that the appropriate outcome was to keep the team in Sacramento and that's what they did.
"I anticipate that they will come to be open [to a deal] and I plan to visit with them and close, hopefully, on that anticipation," he said. "The Maloofs have the right to retain ownership of the franchise. … It's my expectation that we will be able to make a deal… to transfer the title of the team in Sacramento."
George Maloof, who had previously expressed a strong preference to sell the Kings to the Seattle group on multiple occasions, addressed reporters in Dallas after the meeting's conclusion.
"If it had to turn out this way, it's fine with us," he said, according to NBA.com. "But my loyalty's to Chris, because he stepped up. … The Mayor did a great job. He put a great team together. We'll see what happens. It's not over."
RELATED: Seattle media enraged by David Stern's Oklahoma City comment
The NBA announced a purchase and sale agreement between the Maloofs and the Seattle group back in January. That deal involved a purchase of 65 percent of the team at an overall franchise valuation of $525 million. The group later filed the requisite paperwork to relocate the franchise to Seattle for the 2013-14 season, where the organization would have taken on the "SuperSonics" moniker, and then upped its offer based on a $550 million valuation. The original SuperSonics relocated to Oklahoma City and became the Thunder in 2008.
Earlier this week, in anticipation of the Board's vote, Hansen announced on SonicsArena.com that he was "voluntarily increasing our proposed purchase price" for the Kings to reflect a franchise valuation of $625 million. ESPN.com then reported that the Maloofs had reached a "back-up deal" that would have allowed Hansen and company to purchase 20 percent of the Kings for $125 million in the event that the Board voted against their relocation bid. Such a deal would theoretically hamstring a Sacramento group's efforts to purchase the franchise.
Johnson and a number of investors — including Ranadive, 24 Hour Fitness founder Mark Mastrov, billionaire Ron Burkle, and Qualcomm CEO Paul Jacobs — have worked diligently to keep the Kings where they are, preparing a competing offer for the Kings and agreeing to terms on a new Downtown Plaza arena deal. Kings fans organized "Here We Buy" nights to show their support for keeping Sacramento's only major professional sports franchise in town. The Sacramento Bee reported earlier this month that Ranadive, a minority owner of the Warriors, put 50 percent of the Sacramento group's bid for the Kings into escrow.
i would feel bad for seattle if they had not been so quick to back stab sacramento.
They are not getting $535 mm. The new owners are buying a controlling interest, based on the $535mm valuation for the entire franchise.
I don't know I expected the MaGoofs... I mean the Maloofs to put up a fight. I mean their sister puts up more of a fight on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills than her brothers did in this deal and the NBA. Times must be hard and I can only imagine considering how bad the food has gotten at their Las Vegas casino.
Well I'm glad they sold. The new owners, getting a new arena should be ready to put them back on the map. As a Lakers for Life guy, I miss the rivalry.
The Maloofs got screwed! I sure hope those lazy, incompetent morons can get by on $535M for the rest of their lives!
Happy for the Kings, the Maloofs used to care about the success of the team, but that was years ago.
Nicely done by the Maloofs playing the system.
@JasonMacBride Huh? They "only" got $535M instead of $625M!
@Mike26 @JasonMacBride Which is more then they would of got if it wasn't for Chris Hansen. They played it well.

Enjoying the simple pleasures life has to offer — friends, food, sunny days, beautiful sunsets, children and pets, the list is almost endless — is something we don't give a lot of thought to. We enjoy both the simple things and the more complex freedoms but they come with a price, a price for most of us paid by others.
A couple of years ago, a local 21-year-old U.S. Marine left behind a wife and two young sons and answered his country's call. Serving honorably in Iraq, he was killed in combat. Community reaction was strong and sincere: Don Cline is a hero in our eyes.
The shocking thing to contemplate is there have been literally hundreds of thousands of Don Clines killed in action, young men who undoubtedly very much would love to have just a tiny moment to once again experience those simple pleasures. Don Cline will never again enjoy a day at the lake, a barbecue, watching his boys play Little League or making love to his young wife. No, the smaller things we take for granted are the real highlights so many young men never get to enjoy, and their willingness to serve is why we do. The fruits of liberty grow in the soil made rich by the blood of others.
Wars, be they titans like WWII or smaller ones like Iraq, are always fought by a younger generation, in too many cases young men who are for all practical purposes not politically motivated. They go to war for a myriad of reasons but in their souls is a love for their native land, America, and all it stands for. Even in this day of so much cynicism, deep inside most young soldiers is a heartfelt and sincere love of country and a desire to give back something for all it has given them.
Yet wars and their attendant consequences are so horrible that those involved do everything possible to block it from their memory; to forget the pain, loneliness and suffering and the too often seemingly meaningless loss of life. War is a huge blunt instrument, crushing so much and so many, that those involved who survive the trauma seek desperately to suppress all the memories of it.
This, of course, is completely understandable and completely human, but it too often leaves the up and coming generations naïve about the real life costs earlier generations paid. Freedom and the economic and social ways of life we enjoy in this country seem to have been given to us like manna from heaven — simply gather it up and enjoy.
While I am focusing on the soldiers, I am not unaware of the total human tragedy involved. The dead soldier is only a portion of the loss, leaving behind grieving parents, young widows, fatherless children, shattered dreams, unfulfilled ambitions, heartache and deep, long-term emotional suffering that words are inadequate to describe; losses in most cases worse than the death itself. These are less tangible, but every bit as real as a dead young man.
Considering the enormous price so many have paid, it's a bit sad to contemplate we only have a single memorial day and that most of us give precious little time to actually think about what it represents. Our lack of gratitude seems disgraceful, especially considering all we enjoy because of their sacrifices.
I suspect the lack of gratitude is not as bad as it first appears. It really is a lack of knowledge, a glaring oversight in the education of our children. For example, I had my teenage daughter read the book "Flags of Our Fathers," about the battle for Iwo Jima. It profoundly affected her and for the first time in her life she emotionally caught a glimpse of what the liberty she takes for granted had cost others. She had never been educated in the human costs of war.
So how do you correct this? One idea would be to erect some meaningful memorial. Here is what I envision: At Sparks High School, for example, put up a marble stand with an American flag over it. Inscribed on it would be the names of former Sparks High students who were killed in war, two pictures of them (one from their yearbook and one in uniform), their birth date and the date they were killed.
I am deeply moved when I think about the price of liberty, but I really enjoy history and have some of the education that stimulates gratitude. Even with education we too often speak in lump sums — so many thousands killed — rather than contemplate the costs to real-life individuals. A memorial with pictures of young locals like themselves cannot help but develop an appreciation of what others have done. If nothing else, perhaps on the way to the beach on Memorial Day, those pictures and dates would flash through their minds.
For us today, let us at the very least offer up a silent prayer of gratitude in memory of all those young men, and their families left behind, and try to imagine what they paid for our freedom. Fly your flag, count your blessings and contemplate the things that really matter. If Don Cline could have one extra day, what would he do?

The Hazards Vineyard provides a tasting experience while overlooking the famous 'Hazards' of the Freycinet Peninsular. It is the new home for the Devil's Corner range. The opening of the vineyard coincides with the release of a new look for the Devil's Corner wines. These premium Tasmanian wines, first developed in 1999, have taken on the breathtaking artwork by local Tasmanian artist Rebecca Birrell, exclusively commissioned for this wine. Her artwork is currently on show at The Hazards Vineyard. The Hazards Vineyard overlooks Moulting Lagoon, a Ramsar Wetland of International Importance. The Ramsar Convention, to which Australia is a signatory, is a global intergovernmental treaty for the conservation of wetlands and their resources. The Moulting Lagoon Nature Reserve supports a large number of waterbirds, particularly black swans and Australian shelducks at key stages of their lifecycles and is a critical late-summer staging area for migratory waterbirds and shorebird species. The largest Tasmanian flock of greenshanks also occurs at the lagoon. Guests can picnic overlooking the vineyard and there are toilets on site.

There is a bowling rink for lawn bowls, golf clubs can be hired and a catering committee is available. The golf course (par 68) is situated around a football oval, race track and bowls green. The flat and well grassed course provides for easy walking. While you are in the region, plan a short day trip to the Douglas Apsley National Park. Enjoy a range of excellent bushwalks, sweeping coastlines and towering waterfalls. You can order pancakes at the famous Mt Elephant Pancake Barn nearby. Freycinet National Park and the Bay of Fires are also worth a visit for those who enjoy far-stretching pristine beaches. St Marys Sports Centre is a one hour and forty-minute drive east of Launceston (129 kilometres/80 miles).

Mayfield Bay Coastal Reserve is a conservation area south of Swansea on Tasmania's east coast. The Reserve is 15 minutes' drive from Swansea (20 kilometres/12 miles) and 90 minutes north east of Hobart (115 kilometres/71 miles). Mayfield Bay's sandy beach and coastal area offers good camping, fishing, swimming, surfing and diving, as well as wonderful views across Great Oyster Bay to Freycinet Peninsula. The reserve has shady trees and toilet facilities but you will need to bring your own drinking water and camping gear. This is a great spot to break your journey along the east coast, unpack a picnic and get out your camera. A little further north from Mayfield Bay you will find convict-built Spiky Bridge. This unusual looking bridge was built in the 1840s by a convict road gang. The bridge was built from local fieldstone with stones placed vertically along the parapet, giving the bridge its spiky appearance. It has been claimed that the spikes were designed to prevent cattle falling over the sides. There are interpretation signs here which give you some good information about the nearby Rocky Hills Probation Outstation convict ruins.

The Bark Mill is a restored mill and museum in Swansea on Tasmania's east coast. The mill is Australia's only restored Black Wattle Bark Mill, and possibly the only one in the world. The fully working mill demonstrates how bark from local black wattle trees was once crushed for export across the world. The bark is the basic ingredient used in tanning. The mill was established in 1885 and continued operation until the early 1960s. A visit here gives a fascinating insight into the ancient art of milling bark. The museum depicts the early history of the oldest rural municipality in Australia. Individual working displays depict life as it was in the 1800s. The descendants of the original settlers have loaned many items and photographs to the exhibition. The Bark Mill complex is opened daily. In addition to the Museum is a Tavern and Bakery making this the ideal place for a stop. The tavern and bakery cater for all meals. A large car park, good access for disabled, well appointed rest rooms and children's playground completes the Bark Mill Tavern, Bakery and Museum complex. The Bark Mill is one hour 40 minutes' drive (134 kilometres/84 miles) from Hobart.

Bay of Fires is a picturesque region north of St. Helens on Tasmania's northeast coast. Experience the white beaches, blue water and granite splashed with orange lichen at the bay that was named by Captain Tobias Furneaux in 1773 in response to the many Aboriginal fires he saw burning on its shore. Beach activities and bird-watching are popular in this beautiful reserve or you may even view a pod of dolphins as they cruise along parallel to the beach. In the conservation area, which is at the southern end and is approached from St. Helens, there are camping grounds along a 13-kilometre (eight-mile) section of road that terminates at private land called The Gardens. From St. Helens, take Binalong Bay Road (C850) to the turnoff to the C848, which is signposted to The Gardens.

Today, flash providers are reporting varied block sizes for I/O in order to demonstrate optimal performance. Unfortunately, the reported block sizes rarely exist in the real world. With real-time analytics producing enormous I/O requests, supporting these varied workloads is critical.
Take a look at this white paper to gain insight into a scale-out all-flash array built to support mixed workloads that combine high IOPs and bandwidth with latency. Find out how this approach optimizes the I/O layout and joins a variable block size algorithm – optimized for any I/O size – with a true scale-out architecture.

In a series of experiments using the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, Gan and colleagues discovered a key regulator – S3H – that acts as a brake on the process of leaf death. When its levels are low, leaves senesce early; when it is present in high levels, it results in longer leaf longevity. Read more

SnapDragon and RubyFrost are new apple varieties
Aug 4, 2013
GENEVA, N.Y. — Cornell has announced two new apple varieties developed in partnership with the New York Apple Growers (NYAG). They are SnapDragon and RubyFrost, and they have undergone a year of rigorous consumer testing as NY1 and NY2. The new names were revealed Aug. 1 by Jeff Crist, vice chairman of the NYAG board of directors, at a field day at the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, where Cornell breeder Susan Brown developed the varieties. "SnapDragon is a great name for this apple because consumers found its crispy texture and sweet flavor so appealing," said Mark Russell, an apple grower and NYAG member. He anticipates it will be a popular apple for snacking, especially for children. Read more
Pineapple lily could help N.Y. nursery industry bloom

Mother Jones: Monsanto. Broccoli. I Love This. Really!
Jul 25, 2013
[Mother Jones 2013/07/17] – Thomas Bjorkman explains that partners in the Eastern Broccoli Project include relatively small players like Maine-based Johnny's Selected Seeds, a purveyor widely used by small- and mid-size farmers, as well as seed giants like Monsanto. "Our goal is to get seeds of better-adapted broccoli varieties out to Eastern growers so that they can grow more local broccoli," he says. And working with private players with established distribution networks is the fastest way to do that, he added. S Read more

Washington hasn't been able to resolve the "Fiscal Cliff" because politicians "worship that great god of reelection and haven't been focused on what's really right for the country," Erskine Bowles, one of the architects of the Simpson-Bowles deficit-reduction plan told CNBC's "Closing Bell" on Thursday.
"The problems are real," said Bowles, the North Carolina businessman and co-chairman of President Barack Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. "The solutions are all painful. There's no easy way out." (Read More: US Nears Fiscal Disaster: 'Washington Doing Nothing' )
Republican Sen. Alan Simpson, Bowles' co-chairman on the commission, said he isn't hopeful that a deficit-reduction deal will be reached to avoid the "fiscal cliff," the nearly $600 billion in automatic tax hikes and spending cuts that will be triggered at the end of the year.
"When you see the same statements that came up before the campaign come up after the campaign, you can't be hopeful," he said.
Bowles is a bit more optimistic. He sees a one-third chance a deal is reached in the lame-duck session and a one-third chance that a deal is reached right after the New Year. But he said there's a one-third chance political leaders do not reach a deal and "we'll end up in chaos."
"What's worrisome is if we go over the cliff and the market doesn't anticipate that we're going to be so stupid as to go over the cliff, you'll see the market really crash," Bowles said. That could lead to another credit rating downgrade and corporations would pull back on investment and hiring.
A solution to the country's fiscal problems requires a combination of new revenues and spending cuts, the two said. Bowles said their plan has both $1 trillion in tax revenue and $3 trillion in spending cuts.
"You get spending cuts by going into the entitlement programs," Simpson said.
Right now, there are as many as 47 or 48 members of the Senate that have embraced the Simpson-Bowles plan, including 24 Republicans and 23 Democrats, the two said. They also have support of about 130 members.
But that remains far short of the votes need in both houses to get something passed. "That's why we have to have the leadership from the House and Senate and from the White House agree to come together put some this partisanship aside, pull together and reach some common sense solutions," Bowles said.
"We don't get much help from the leadership of either party," Simpson said.
Erskine Bowles also told CNBC off-air that he would not be the next Treasury secretary.

Excuse us, Mr. President, for looking askance at a remark straight out of fantasyland.
The evidence in the weeks following the Sandy Hook massacre points to a process that has been highly aware of politics. The quick assembly of a task force led by Vice President Joe Biden, the inclusion of many voices from all sides of the issue, the ramped-up timetable for presenting policy proposals and the foreshadowing that Obama will use executive orders if Congress drags its feet all illustrate that the White House understands the politics at play.
The current state of the nation's gun laws didn't get where it's at without politics, and it won't be reformed without politics, either.
U.S. gun laws reflect a sustained effort by the National Rifle Association and others to promote as few restrictions as possible on gun ownership. In the 1970s, the NRA began a quest to enshrine the Second Amendment as an individual right as opposed to one for the possibility of forming a militia.
"It was an uphill struggle," The New Yorker's Jeffrey Toobin recently wrote of the effort. "At first, their views were widely scorned. Chief Justice Warren E. Burger, who was no liberal, mocked the individual-rights theory of the amendment as 'a fraud.'"
Yet it was the NRA — and not Burger — who had the last laugh.
Approximately three-quarters of Americans say the Second Amendment is an individual right, several recent polls indicate. In 2008, the conservative activists on the U.S. Supreme Court enshrined gun ownership as an individual right by expanding a narrow case about handgun ownership in the District of Columbia.
Today, the NRA is preparing for a fresh battle over Obama's anticipated proposals to slow down gun violence in the United States. Don't be surprised if Obama's foes paint his attempts as those of a tyrant attempting to confiscate guns.
The NRA knows a thing or two about politics. It went to periscope depth in the week following the Newtown, Conn., shooting last month, shutting down its social media operation and staying off the airwaves. When its leaders emerged, they blamed portrayals of violence from the entertainment industry and a lack of armed "good guys" at U.S. schools, and they had nothing to say about how so much firepower ended up in the hands of the Sandy Hook shooter. The NRA has derided Biden's task force as having "an agenda to attack the Second Amendment."
As we see it, both sides here are gearing up for a massive battle where politics are at the forefront, and both sides will be talking — and probably yelling — past each other on a an issue where common-sense solutions are needed.

Tampa >Food & Dining > Green Iguana Bar & Grill
1708 E 7th Ave, Tampa, FL | Directions 3360527.960268 -82.440209
Mon. - Sun. 11am - 12pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Historic Ybor
Overcharging and anti-military – Very disappointed in this place. The staff were rude and bouncers terribly interfering. Also they were very unfriendly towards the military. Two of my friends had recently returned from deployments and met up as they hadn't seen each other in years. One of the regulars though he would try and score some points lying about his military service.... needless to say the situation was not handled very well. Would definitely not recommend it to any military or anyone looking for a good time. This is not mentioning the price of the drinks and their attempt at overcharging us. Went next door for the rest if the night and had an awesome time.
AVOID AFTER 9:00 WHEN THIS PLACE TURNS INTO A NIGHT CLUB - MOST UNPROFESSIONAL / DISRESPECTFUL BOUNCERS IN YBOR CITY - – The bouncers at this club are overzealous $8/hour roided up idiots. After having a quick dinner with my family (and not drinking), I left with my iced tea in my hand.
The bouncer told me that I couldnt leave with my drink (in a plastic to-go cup). I informed him that it was iced tea and I wouldn't be throwing it away.
The bouncer then actually crushed it in my hand and got tea all over my jeans....
This is the behavior of a 5 year old, not somone that is paid to protect patrons. These idiots are so roided up that they can't think clearly. I will not be visiting this establishment again under any circumstance and I advise you to do the same.
Tasty food and great prices, nice live music – I had read some reviews, and while on vacation, coerced two of my friends to go with me to the Green Iguana for dinner one evening. We were seated at a small table with high chairs, which was OK after we got used to it. However, we were cramped near a little wall right next to a Ms. PacMan arcade and a pool table. Sort of uncomfortable and annoying. Also, we were close to the bar which had a LOT of rowdy singles getting their drink on. Anyway, the people watching was good, and the food was excellent and fairly priced. I had mahi with coconut rice and veggies....FANTASTIC! The mahi was sweet - I had never had it before, so I was very pleased. One of my friends had a portobello burger, which he enjoyed and looked rather tasty, and my other friend had a regular burger which she said was also good. We had crab rangoons as appetizers. The rangoons themselves were good, but the dipping sauce was very different from typical sauce that would be used - it had a spicy aftertaste that I didn't so much care for. We had to ask for refills. The live band was playing covers of everything from DMB to Matchbox 20, which I liked....but the "unplugged" versions got a little old after a while (I wish the BAND actually started playing with the lead singer...it was mostly him and his guitar). Overall, the Green Iguana had great food and good music, but if you aren't looking to pick up other singles at the bar, probably go during the day for lunch!
THE BEST BAR AND GRILL IN TAMPA – I have been going to the green iguana for almost seven years, and in that time I have had the time"s" of my life. I have met so many awsome people that I now call friends. I would highly recommend the place to anyone.
Like a chameleon, the Iguana changes from burger-eating lunchery to beer-guzzling dancery. – The Scene
Around for more than a decade, the Green Iguana works hard as a restaurant by day, a bar by night. Grab a burger and a sidewalk table during daylight hours. When the sun sets, the music starts and the crowds coverge on the club inside. As with almost all Ybor bars, the singles are out to tout. Not as much of a meat market as some of its brethren on the strip, but still the scantily-clad should beware.
The Food
All the heavenly choices for the 8-ounces of ground chuck come on freshly baked sourdough buns. Some of the tastiest burger choices include the Cheesiest (American, cheddar and monterey jack), Stank (blue cheese) and Fungus Humongous (portabello mushroom and feta cheese). There's also plenty of fresh seafood, wraps, pizzas and salads available.
THE Iguana – Go to the ORIGINAL Green Iguana on South Westshore to eat, drink, and shoot pool. Go to the Green Iguana in Ybor City to party. Both have good food but the S. Westshore is a great beach bar without the beach.
Yummy to my tummy! – It is true, they have the best burger. Also it is a nice atomsphere to be in and watch people go by at Ybor City. The wings aren't to shabby either. Yum...
too small n crowded – This place is way too small even with the expansion,you are either out of the crowd/bar access/able to see band or you are pretty much in a mosh pit
Eclectic! – Good music, interesting beach bar, varied crowd. Definitely a Florida experience.
