Secret: The husband of Anna Allison, pictured, who was killed on 9/11 visited Guantanamo Bay to try and save the lives of the Al-Qaeda terrorists behind the attack
The husband of a woman who was killed when her plane smashed into the World Trade Centre on 9/11 visited Guantanamo Bay to try and save the lives of the men suspected of being behind the attack.
Blake Allison, 62, held a secret hour-long meeting last week with the lawyers of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed and four of his accomplices.
Incredibly, during the extraordinary meeting he offered to testify in court against the death penalty being used against the men.
The wine-company executive is a vocal critic of capital punishment and said he wants the U.S government to spare the lives of the five men - even if they are convicted of a host of death-penalty charges.
Speaking to the New York Post, he said: 'The public needs to know there are family members out there who do not hold the view that these men should be put to death.
'We can't kill our way to a peaceful tomorrow.'
He added: 'Just because I was hurt very badly and personally does not, in my mind, give me the go-ahead to take a life.'
Mr Allison's wife Anna, 48, was travelling to Los Angeles for work when the American Airlines Flight 11 crashed into Tower 1 at the World Trade Centre.
Mr Allison - from New Hampshire - has admitted his late wife's relatives or other victims' family members do not share his view.
He also says he believes Khalid Sheik
Mohammed, Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi have no remorse and would commit the same atrocities
His meeting with the terrorists' lawyers took place on May 4.

Mr Allison, who has remarried, said despite opposing the death penalty, this does not mean he wants the men behind the devastating attack not to be brought to justice.
But he said he believes it is wrong to take a life.
He says he has been against the death penalty for decades, before his wife was murdered.
Mr Allison has also previously testified on behalf of 9/11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui.
He was the 20th hijacker who faced the death penalty but was instead sentenced to life in prison.
A total of 2,976 people were murdered during the day of attacks in 2001 after hijacked airliners were flown into New York's World Trade Centre and the Pentagon in Washington.

Secure: The U.S. Naval Base Guantanamo Bay in Cuba is holding a number of terrorist suspects
The grieving relatives of 9/11 victims were left furious earlier this month when a preliminary hearing for the five men descended into farce.
The men deliberately disrupted what should have been a short hearing, dragging it out for 13 hours.
Proceedings were repeatedly interrupted as the men knelt in prayer, flicked through a copy of The Economist, refused to use headphones and insisted the 123 pages of charges they face were read aloud.
Captured: Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is the self-proclaimed mastermind of 9/11
Their antics in a top-security military court in Guantanamo Bay were watched by the relatives, who had attended the court and watched live feeds at military bases in several U.S. cities.
Jim Riches, whose fireman son, Jimmy, died at the World Trade Centre, said: 'It's actually a joke, it feels ridiculous. It looks like it's going to be a very long trial.'
Debra Burlingame, whose brother, Charles, was the pilot of the plane that flew into the Pentagon, added: 'They're engaging in jihad in a courtroom.
Khalid Sheik Mohammed is a Pakistani citizen who grew up in Kuwait and attended college in Greensboro, North Carolina.
He has acknowledged to military
authorities that he was responsible for the September 11 attacks 'from A to
Z,' as well as about 30 other plots, and that he personally killed Wall
Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl.
He was captured in 2003 in Pakistan.
Ramzi Binalshibh is a Yemeni, who was allegedly chosen to be a hijacker but couldn't get a U.S. visa and ended up providing assistance such as finding flight schools.
Waleed bin Attash, also from Yemen, allegedly ran an Al Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan and researched flight simulators and timetables.
Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi is a Saudi who allegedly helped the hijackers with money, Western clothing, travellers' cheques and credit cards.
Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali is a Pakistani national and nephew of Mohammed, who allegedly provided money to the hijackers.
'My brother was murdered in the cockpit of his airplane, and we will have to stand up for him.'
Eddie Bracken, from Staten Island, said he gone to Cuba to look straight at the accused terrorists. He lost his sister, a mother of two, who worked as a secretary on the 105th floor of the south tower.
As one of them, Binalshibh entered the court, he smiled at Mr Bracken and gave him a thumbs-up.
Mr Bracken told the accused: 'I came a long way to see you, eye to eye.'
It is the second attempt to prosecute the self-proclaimed mastermind of the atrocities, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and four others.
Mohammed, 47, who has admitted being the architect of the attacks, appeared in public for the first time in three years for the arraignment hearing – which will have to be held again so the defendants can enter pleas.
Mohammed is being tried alongside Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi.
If convicted, the men could face the death penalty but the trial is unlikely to take place for at least another 12 months.
At the arraignment hearing, the judge was deluged with questions about his qualifications to hear the case. There were also complaints that the accused were not allowed to wear clothes supplied by their lawyers.
Regular meal and prayer breaks further delayed proceedings and at one point all five men refused to take part and passed around a copy of The Economist magazine.
They ignored the judge, wouldn't listen to Arabic translations over their headphones and asked for lengthy court documents to be read aloud, adding two hours to the case.
Charged: Waleed Bin Attash, left, and Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi are also suspected of carrying out the 9/11 attacks
Mohammed took off his earphones
providing an Arabic translation and refused to answer questions or
acknowledge he understood them before dozing off.
Bin Attash was locked to a restraint chair when he came into court and released only after he promised to behave.
The only defendant to break his silence was Binalshibh who prayed alongside his defence table before launching into a tirade in which he claimed to be in danger.
In a mixture of broken English and Arabic he compared the Guantanamo Bay commander to Colonel Gadaffi, the former Libyan dictator, and claimed that he had been threatened.
In court: Ali Abdul Aziz Ali, left, and Ramzi Binalshibh are also accused of helping carry out the worst terrorist attack in America's history

PBF will be recognized as the greatest fighter of our era (90's-10's). Let's be honest. He is a genius in all aspects of the (current) boxing world. He's the undisputed greatest defensive fighter/most accurate of all time (Compubox proven). I don't need to tell true BOXING fans that he's the g.o.a.t. You already know. I am a huge Pacquiao fan but Pacquaio is not a true boxer or else he'd have beat Marquez decisively by now. By the way, Marquez IS currently my no. 2 p4p fighter behind PBF. Anyway, to answer the question: history will prove Mayweather was the best PRIZE FIGHER, (WHICH IS THE NAME OF THE GAME) to date.

It's hard. Talent-wise he goes into the top 25 fairly comfortably, but he hasn't fought all the best opponents like so many of the other guys in there.
However, maybe we can consider that a product of our time. With so many belts and weight divisions, and the perceived importance of the '0', not fighting all of the top fighters around you is more acceptable than it was.
Think he deserves to be around 20-30.

floyd is great but fact is if he'd been around at the time of the fab 4 he'd have taken a bunch of losses and could be judged more acurately - Tommy Hearns beats him all night long, if he met Duran at lightweight he'd also take a clear loss ... at welter i'm not sure but no way does he move up to beat hagler and I reckon over 3 fights Sugar Ray gets 2 wins to 1 over him ... does this sound harsh on floyd lol?

There were a span of fights and non-fights that have really harmed him though.
Not fighting Cotto when Miguel was red hotm refusing to fight Mosley because he "has more than 3 losses" and the overweight debacle of JMM.
Ortiz, a big hitting up and comer was a decent choice, Oscar at 154 too and Cotto at 154 exceptional, so maybe Floyd is starting to pull his socks up.

- The secret Nero brothers side quest (from the Ultimania)
The_Kusabi_ 3 years ago#1
I first reported this to Atomos, and he thinks nobody is aware of this, so I guess I'll tell people. I was reading through the Ultimania around two weeks ago, in the 'secrets' section, and found a lot of interesting tidbits that I think a lot of the community might not know about. Most of them are just bonus scenes that don't provide any actual reward, or are already known, but this kind of side quest involving the Nero brothers both provides a reward and doesn't seem to be known. I haven't done it myself, so I don't have any in-game experience, and am just relying on what is written in the Ultimania.
Check out pg. 557 to see it for yourself.
Apparently at the end of the game, starting with entering the final dungeon, if you talk to the Nero brothers in Lindblum, it'll advance their little side quest a bit. It kind of reminds me of the Zell Love Quest from FF8 in how it advances based on story progression. There are 16 "advancement points", as follows:
After the battle with Nova Dragon
After you beat Marilith
After you see the flashback of Alexander
After you hear Zidane talking to himself
After you see the flashback of Dagger getting on the boat
After you hear about the giant eye in the sky
After you beat Tiamat
After you hear about the two planets
After Quina thinks it is drowning
After you hear the story about memories
After you beat Kraken
After you hear about Gaia's birth
After you beat Lich
After you hear about the story of the origin from nothingness
After you enter the Crystal World
After you beat Death Gaze
Now, it requires 9 of these advancement points to complete the side quest. It is possible to be unable to complete the side quest, due to having proceeded too far into the final dungeon and not having enough advancement points left. You need to leave after 9 of these events and talk to the Nero brothers or else you'll never be able to complete this quest. I am guessing a lot of people have missed this on their final saves, as the latest you can start it is at the advancement point "hearing the story about the two planets", sometime a bit after beating Tiamat.
If you complete this side quest you apparently are rewarded to a treasure chest containing a Protect Ring.
Whether this side quest was finished or left unfinished is easily determinable, so not doing it could be considered bad for a Perfect Game. However, unfortunately I think doing this side quest is mutually exclusive to the EXIIPG speedrun, since there isn't enough time to run back and forth out of the dungeon so many times. Doing a non-EXII PG, like Magical Moogles, would be the place to do this.
Remember, I have not actually done this myself, so although I'll assume the Ultimania is telling the truth, I have not confirmed it. I also see no reason why it would be removed from the non-Japanese versions, but as I have not confirmed it myself, I have no idea. If someone wants to check on this, that'd be great for the knowledge of the FF9 community. If you have any questions about what is written in the Ultimania please ask me. I am not a very good writer and sometimes have trouble explaining things well :(

Ha ha ha, it'd be so funny though if the Ultimania was just trolling us all though :)
MysterPixel 3 years ago#4
So are you saying you need to have done exactly nine of these things, and then you go out and talk to them?
Or you have to do one and then go out and talk to them, then do another and talk to them again and so on, a total of nine times?
I'll totally go and download a save at the start of Memoria and test it if you can clarify.
The_Kusabi_ (Topic Creator)3 years ago#5
"Or you have to do one and then go out and talk to them, then do another and talk to them again and so on, a total of nine times?"
It's this one, at least according to the Ultimania. That's why it is probably impossible to do on a EXIIPG speedrun. Apparrently the Nero bros will change what they are saying/doing a little each time.
If you could test it that'd be awesome! I can't guarantee anything other than the fact that it is written in the Ultimania.
So this may or may not be part of the endgame? I'm just running through normally right now, so I can probably spare the time to run in and out provided it doesn't take me so long it's just annoying (I haven't played in a while, I don't remember). Right now I'm on disk 3 right after
I had this incredibly, unbelievably, amazingly, fantastically directionally-challenged guy with me right here...

Huh, looks like you might be on to something!
I just downloaded a new save, at the start of disk 4.
Went to Lindblum and saw Zenero and Benero in the Theare district, as usual, and they went through the dialogue which can be found in the game script.
I then left the screen and returned just to see if that would trigger anything new, but it didn't.
Then I went and killed the Nova Dragon.
Then when I returned to the Theatre District and walked up to the Tantalus hideout, Genero rushes out and says:
Genero: "Zenero and Benero aren't here."
Genero: "I'd better go look."
Then rushes off screen. I've never seen this before.
I'm going to keep going and report back with anything else.

Awesome, thanks MysterPixel!
I almost doubted the Ultimania, due to thinking that if such a side quest existed, why had nobody found it before. It'll be great if you confirm it to the Protect Ring promised conclusion. This could add a new criteria for PGers as well, as it is confirmable on Disc 4 as having completed or not.

Just did Maliris, so here's the next.. and it turns out there's another Nero brother: Denero!
Same turn of events as above to encounter it:
Denero: "Zenero and Benero and Genero aren't here."
Denero: "I'd better go look."
Something tells me this is going to happen 7 more times :P

I have to rate Dr. Portera as excellent. A wonderful caring surgeon who treats not only the patient, but also the family. He explained everything that he would be doing during my surgery in a manner that was easy to understand to both myself and my family. Allowing us enough time for any questions we might have and answering all of them. I felt graced to have such a wonderful surgeon by my side during my operation. Many thanks to Dr. Portera his staff and his surgical team for all that they did for me and my family. You are a Blessing to those you treat.
Active with National EC group and not surprised that DR. P. exceeds any other surgeons approach to one of the most deadly cancers. His approach is based upon repeatably of known steps in surgery and recovery. As a combat Marine, cancer is viet nam jungle warfare. Dr. P can be counted on to stand & deliver when chips are on the table. Plus you gotta luv the cowboy boots. Semper Fi
Credit Dr. Protera for providing highest level of medical attention for a procedure with high morbidity rate. Attention to details and using repeatable results gave me a chance for quality of life after cancer. Dr. Portera was quick to see issues and put a plan in place to solve. He used a proven team of other doctors, nurses & techs that focused on patient care before, during, and after surgery. You gonna luv tha cowboy boots and bedside manner!
My husband was treated for colon cancer, and we were all impressed with his exceptional care and expertise. He was so caring and attentive; we will never forget him. My husband made a full recovery thanks to this doctor and his staff.(Thank you Dr. Portera and to your staff, as well!)
I feel Dr. Portera saved my husband's life. He and his staff don't just treat the patient, they treat the whole family! God Bless He and His Team!
Handled my complex situation with great skill . . and compassion.

Last year, some 24,000 older, low- and middle-income Massachusetts taxpayers received assistance and tax preparation from the nation's largest, free tax assistance program, AARP Tax-Aide.
The Massachusetts Department of Revenue is proud to partner with the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) and the federal Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in the training of volunteers, 600 of whom provided help to individuals returning their state and federal income taxes.
AARP has provided an enrollment form for those who are interested, as well as a press release with more information. The commitment to work with clients in locales such as public libraries and senior centers extends from Feb. 1 to April 15.
This is a meaningful and challenging opportunity for community service. We'd like to hear from anyone who has volunteered in the past as an AARP Tax-Aide.

Spring Training Schedule for Today's Games
Here is your guide to today's spring training games, as well as a look at some of yesterday's games that most Valley baseball fans actually care about (sorry, Royals fans, there's nothin' here for you unless your boys in blue happen to play against the Dodgers, the Cubs, or the Diamondbacks):
Arizona Diamondbacks: The D-backs hosted the Seattle Mariners, but the pitching matchup of Seattle's Cliff Lee and Arizona's Dan Haren was cut short when Lee was ejected for throwing at Diamondbacks catcher Chris Snyder. Other than a near bench-clearing brawl, the Diamondbacks laid down some smack and beat up on the Mariners 13-5.
Chicago Cubs: The Cubbies had some bus trouble getting from Mesa to Tucson to play the Colorado Rockies yesterday; the team bus broke down on Interstate 10. That trouble continued onto the field. The loveable Chi-town losers lost 5-2, but Chicago ace Carlos Zambrano looked good, surrendering only five hits and one run in four innings pitched.
Los Angeles Dodgers: The Dodgers fended off the L.A. Angels of Anaheim yesterday, beating the Halos 4-0. Dodgers possible fifth starter, Ramon Ortiz, gave his team four innings, giving up only two hits -- not bad for a guy who's 37 years old and hasn't played in the Majors since 2007.

Ken Klukowski of the Family Research Council and the American Civil Rights Union claimed today that since even pederastic Greeks, who "put homosexuality on a pedestal," didn't legalize same-sex marriage, neither should the U.S. Speaking with FRC colleagues Tom McClusky and Kenneth Blackwell on Today's Issues on American Family Radio, Klukowski argues that Americans shouldn't support marriage equality because no civilization through history has done so: Marriage has existed in every culture, in every country around the world, for thousands and thousands of years...

Writing for the National Review, columnist George Weigel of the far-right Ethics and Public Policy Center lashes out at marriage equality supporters for comparing their struggle for equal rights to the civil rights movement. According to Weigel, legalizing marriage between same-sex couples is more like imposing racial segregation than ending it: "Legally enforced segregation involved the same kind of coercive state power that the proponents of gay marriage now wish to deploy on behalf of their cause." He explains that LGBT rights require a "totalitarian impulse" to... MORE

Earlier this week, the National Black ProLife Coalition, in conjunction with TooManyAborted.com, announced the launch of another anti-choice billboard campaign in Atlanta and other major metropolitan areas. These billboards are designed to offend, featuring slogans such as "The 13th Amendment Freed-Abortion Enslaves" and "Abortion Makes Three-Fifths Human Seem Overly Generous." According to the press release, these billboards are supposed to show "how Roe v. Wade has made a mockery of Civil Rights history by offering destruction and bondage instead of possibility... MORE

Rabid anti-choice activist Clenard Childress, who believes that gay rights are a sign of the End Times, is now comparing advocates of LGBT equality to the people in the Bible that called for Jesus' death. Wrongly suggesting that the American Psychological Association believes that homosexuality is a choice (the group says the opposite), Childress also claims that gays and lesbians can't claim to have civil rights "because your sexual orientation could be flawed." Childress writes: The Roman Empire had been occupying and subjugating Israel for multiple years along with the... MORE

On May 31st, RWW first reported that during The 700 Club Pat Robertson likened his fight against Muslim civil rights to the fight against Nazis and Adolf Hitler, which was followed by a spurious denial by Christian Broadcasting Network. Such egregious comments are no surprise coming from Robertson, who in the past argued that "Islam is not a religion" and Muslims should be treated like "some fascist group." Robertson: I was thinking, you know, if you oppose Muslims, what is said? Well, you're a bigot, right? Terrible bigotry. I wonder what were people who opposed the... MORE

Patriot Basketball Enters the Home Stretch
In the long regular season of 16 Mid-South Conference games, the Patriot basketball teams are heading down the home stretch with just three contests remaining. And much work is still left be done for both the men and the women.
Lena Bramblett's Patriot women find themselves in seventh place but still with a chance to move into the top six which means they would avoid a play-in game in order to reach Frankfort where the Mid-South Conference tournament will be held among eight of the conference's 10 teams.
The Patriots are 6-9 which puts them one game behind sixth place Pikeville and one-half a game ahead of eighth place Georgetown. The road ahead is rough, however as the three remaining MSC games are at Campbellsville and at home against Cumberlands and Lindsey Wilson. Those three teams are among the top four in the conference and are ranked nationally. Campbellsville is fourth in the nation, Lindsey Wilson is 15th and Cumberlands is in the receiving votes category.
J.T. Burton's men will face the same schedule as the women in their three remaining games but they enter those with a third place standing in the conference at 11-4. That puts them one-half game behind Cumberlands who beat the Patriots in Williamsburg earlier in the season .
By winning the final three games the Patriots, who were ranked 22nd in this week's NAIA poll, will secure second place in the conference tournament. That tournament will be held March 4-5-6 for both the men and women at the Frankfort Convention center.

EU fines financial institutions over fixing key benchmarks
Six financial institutions were fined €1.71 billion ($2.32 billion) by European Union regulators Wednesday for colluding in an attempt to manipulate key benchmark interest rates, the EU's largest-ever penalty in a cartel case.
The settlements involved penalties against some of the world's biggest banks, including Deutsche Bank, Societe Generale, Royal Bank of Scotland Group and JP Morgan Chase. The action brings to roughly €6 billion the total penalties levied by regulators against financial institutions in connection with probes into manipulation of the London interbank offered rate, or Libor, and other widely used financial benchmarks.
Further penalties are possible. The EU's competition commissioner, Joaquín Almunia, said Wednesday at a news conference in Brussels that his office is pursuing cartel proceedings against several other large financial institutions, including the UK's HSBC and Icap, France's Crédit Agricole, and the US's JP Morgan, for their alleged roles in colluding to rig one or more benchmark rates.
The EU "is determined to pursue all those who may have been involved in the cartel," Almunia said. He said that if the institutions are proven guilty, they will eventually receive "adequate sanctions."
"We intend to defend ourselves vigorously," an HSBC spokesman said. JP Morgan also said it intends to defend itself. Representatives of Icap and Crédit Agricole didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.
Wednesday's announcement was the culmination of an EU cartel investigation that started more than two years ago, and echoes the findings of US and British regulators that over the past year have accused five financial institutions of widespread efforts to manipulate Libor and the euro interbank offered rate, or Euribor. The US and British cases — in which the financial institutions all admitted wrongdoing — have focused primarily on fraudulent actions by bands of traders within the same bank, as opposed to collusive efforts between employees of different institutions.
"What is shocking about the Libor and Euribor scandals is not only the manipulation of benchmarks, which is being tackled by financial regulators world-wide, but also the collusion between banks who are supposed to be competing with each other," Almunia said.
The penalties are significant not only because of their size, but also because they represent the first admissions of wrongdoing by several financial institutions — even if those admissions were modest in scale. JP Morgan, for example, said Wednesday that its roughly €80 million settlement regarding manipulation of the Japanese yen version of Libor related to "the conduct of two former traders during a one-month period in early 2007". The New York-based bank is fighting charges that it was part of a separate cartel involving Euribor.
JP Morgan and Citigroup — the latter of which is paying about €70 million to settle the Libor probe — are the first two US banks to be financially penalised for being involved in the manipulation of benchmark rates. Until now, the absence of any US banks from the ranks of punished institutions has been a source of grumbling among senior European finance executives.
The announcement also underscores the widespread nature of the attempted manipulation, involving coordinated campaigns by employees of many of the world's biggest financial institutions to fudge benchmarks that underpin interest rates on everything from mortgages to corporate loans to financial derivatives. Banks took pains Wednesday to emphasize that the actions were confined to small groups of individuals, and didn't involve senior executives. But an EU official involved in the case said that the lack of involvement of senior executives doesn't absolve the banks of responsibility for their employees' behaviour.
The fines amount to the commission's largest ever in a cartel case, topping the previous record imposed in December 2012, when it fined seven firms a total of €1.5 billion for rigging the market for cathode-ray tubes used to make television and computer monitors.
Three banks that were involved in attempted rate manipulation dodged potentially major penalties by blowing the whistle on their competitors. Barclays and UBS, which paid a total of nearly $2 billion in fines to US and British regulators last year, avoided billions of euros in new penalties, the EU said Wednesday. Citigroup, which was punished in 2011 by Japanese regulators, also won immunity as a whistleblower. Whistleblowers can win immunity in cartel cases or see their fines reduced under EU rules designed to encourage corporate wrongdoers to report collusion.
Germany's Deutsche Bank faced the stiffest fine Wednesday, agreeing to pay a total of about €725 million due to its role in colluding in the setting of both Euribor and the yen Libor. "Today's settlement marks one important step in our efforts to resolve the bank's legacy issues," the bank's co-chief executives said in a statement. "The settlement relates to past practices of individuals which were in gross violation of Deutsche Bank's values and beliefs."
Deutsche Bank is still under investigation by US and British regulators and prosecutors, and is likely to face further penalties next year, according to people familiar with that investigation.
The second-largest penalty, of €446 million, was levied against Societe Generale for collusion tied to Euribor. The Paris-based bank said in a statement that its inappropriate actions "essentially relate to inappropriate conduct by one employee who left Société Générale in September 2009".
Nationalised UK lender RBS agreed to pay about €391 million to settle charges that it colluded in connection with both Libor and Euribor. Earlier this year, RBS reached a settlement with US and British investigators in which a unit of the bank pleaded guilty to US fraud charges.
RP Martin Holdings, a small London cash broker, was also penalised Wednesday, agreeing to pay €247,000. Two of its employees have been criminally charged by British fraud prosecutors for their alleged roles in manipulating Libor; they haven't entered pleas. A company spokesman didn't immediately respond to requests for comment.

Correction: European Union regulators fined six financial institutions a total of €1.71 billion ($2.32 billion) Wednesday. An earlier version of this article misstated that eight financial institutions were fined.

Wall Street Wanes As Earnings Clarity Awaited
Category: Markets / Finance
/ Jan 08, 2013 5:34PM EDT
Stocks fell on Tuesday (January 8), retreating from last week's rally on the "fiscal cliff" deal in Washington, as companies started to report results for the fourth quarter. After a 4.3 percent jump in the two sessions around the close of the fiscal cliff negotiations, the S&P has declined a bit, with investors finding few catalysts to extend the rally that took the benchmark to five-year highs. Shares of AT&T Inc dropped 1.7 percent to $34.35 (USD), making it one of the biggest drags on the S&P 500, after the company said it sold more than 10 million smartphones in the quarter. This figure beat the same quarter in 2011, but also means increased costs for the wireless service provider. Providers like AT&T pay hefty subsidies to handset makers so that they can offer discounts to customers who commit to two-year contracts. Fourth quarter profits are expected to beat the previous quarter's lackluster results, but analyst estimates are down sharply from October. Quarterly earnings are expected to grow by 2.7 percent, according to Thomson Reuters data. Dow component Alcoa, the largest U.S. aluminum producer, reported results after the closing bell, along with education provider Apollo Group. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 55.44 points, or 0.41 percent, to 13,328.85. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index fell 4.74 points, or 0.32 percent, to 1,457.15. The Nasdaq Composite Index lost 7.01 points, or 0.23 percent, to 3,091.81.

Hello everyone!
My intention for this week is to write an article with a couple of mulligan situations. It works like this: I will select some opening hands, sometimes constructed by me and sometimes real, and present them today, and on Friday I will get some guests to discuss each of hands to figure out why you should keep or mulligan each of them.
Before you look at the hands, I would recommend you read my previous article on mulligans, on Starcity, which you can find HERE. It is of course not necessary, but the goal is to make you think about the concepts first, so that you can then apply them, and it'd feel kind of awkward to just throw examples in there without elaborating the theory first. If you happen to have any comments or questions about that article, please post them here and not there, as the article is somewhat old and I doubt I'll read them otherwise.
I'll list the decks so you know what you are playing. This is not to mean I think this is the best version of the deck or anything it's just a reference so you can properly answer the question. All the examples are against unknown opponents unless specified. The deck you want me to talk about might be missing, but there are some decks that I have close to zero experience with, such as UW in Standard or Living End in Extended, and then I wouldn't really be able to talk about those.

Will Cubs Stay in Mesa?
There has been a lot of talk out here this Spring about if and when the Cubs will leave Mesa.
I think it's 100% likely the Cubs will leave Mesa after 2016 (when their contract expires), 80% likely they will leave after 2011 and pay the $4M+ buy-out, and 75% likely that whenever they do leave Mesa they will stay in AZ and move into a new one-team state-of-the-art facility, probably somewhere in the East Valley
The Cubs want out of Mesa because Fitch Park is limited to only 4-1/2 fields, and has less-than-satisfactory practice facilities (the Cubs want a large enclosed batting cage complex and an enclosed ten-pack bullpen) and a smallish clubhouse that cannot be expanded without adding a second floor, and because HoHoKam Park is a 1/2-mile away from Fitch Park.
The Giants (Scottsdale) and the A's (Phoenix Papago Park) have similar-type inferior arrangements as the Cubs, and so the Giants & A's will probably want to move to a combined facility ASAP, and it's only a matter of a short period of time before the Rockies and Diamondbacks move from Tucson to Maricopa County, and when they do, they will want new state-of-the art facilities (or a combined facility), too.
So the Cubs have to make sure they get the best deal out there, and if they wait until 2016, it might be too late, and the Cubs will get the left-overs.
Gilbert's "Field of Dreams"--a retro softball park that features recreations of Wrigley Field, Ebbets Field, Fenway Park, etc--is on a large track of land near the old Williams AFB in close proximity to the new east-side 202 freeway and would be a definite possible site for a new facility, as would a location on the Salt River-Pima Indian Reservation, possibly near where the 202 & 101 freeways intersect near the Arizona Casino on McKellips Road east of Scottsdale and north of Mesa.
I have talked to several people connected with the Ho Ho Kam and the Cubs over the past year, and it is pretty clear that the Cubs are dissatisfied and want a new facility with a minor league complex that includes at least six full fields, and where the main Spring Training stadium & the minor league complex are on one site, and the Cubs would probably also like a larger Spring Training Park (perhaps 15,000 capacity) with some ultra-premium seating. That just won't work in downtown Mesa.
The one "wild card" is what the new Cubs owners (presumably the Ricketts people) will want to do. It's possible they might prefer a Florida Minor League Complex & Spring Training deal, probably somewhere in the middle of the state near Orlando. Nobody knows what they're going to want to do about that yet, but keep in mind that GM Jim Hendry, Scouting Director Tim Wilken, and Player Development Director Oneri Fleita are all Florida people (Hendry and Wilken were HS buddies in Dunedin, and Fleita is a Cuban-American from Miami), so if they are asked, they would probably much prefer to move the Cubs ST & Minor League operations from Arizona to Florida.
Moving to Florida would also put the Cubs Minor League complex & Player Development HQ in closer proximity to Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Venezuela, where the Cubs have expanded their scouting & player development tentacles in the last few years (adding a second team in the DSL and a Dominican Instructional League team).
Re: Will Cubs Stay in Mesa?
Cubs might be the only MLB team worthy of following the Dodgers at Vero Beach, where they were an institution and helped define the entire idea of "spring training."

Re: Will Cubs Stay in Mesa?
Cubster has brought up what I would deem to be the most important aspect of this whole issue. If the Cubs move to FL, we may very well lose AZ Phil's valuable reports from Fitch... We could start a 'move Phil' fund... Maybe we better get started on that soon, so we have time to build it up....
Re: Will Cubs Stay in Mesa?
I wouldn't be getting too worked up about it yet. Right now it's a leverage ploy like any other franchise who has threatened to leave town if a new stadium isn't proposed. The Cubs know how many transplanted mid-western Cubs fans are in that area, they're not going to toss that out just because a few of the Cubs brass are from FL. There's a decent chance that Hendry/Fleita/Wilken aren't even going be around in 2012. Hendry's 4 year deal also expires in 2012.
Re: Will Cubs Stay in Mesa?
Atkins' first inning: FO, FO, E4, 2-run HR, BB, BB FO. He's not missing by much but he still is having trouble finding the zone.
Bradley RBI double (single but the OF slipped but fell) to drive in Theriot, 1-2 Cubs bottom 1st, ARam infield single but Bradley caught off third. Sori also got CS earlier in the inning.
Bottom 3: Hoffpower drives in Sori on a sac fly, 2-2.
Bottom 4: ReJo 2-run HR, 4-2 Cubs
Re: Will Cubs Stay in Mesa?
Too bad about the whole premium seating thing. I know it's the way things are trending because of the massive salaries and the need to keep generating new revenue streams, but I'm going to Mesa at the end of the month and have some great seats right behind home plate for something like 20 bucks (can't remember exactly). The other game I hitched up to is right on the first base line up close for about the same price. Since it's late in the ST season I'll probably get to see D Lee ground into a couple plays instead of watching HoffPower slug a few out, but overall it's cool cuz I'll mostly see starting line up guys for a fraction of what I'd pay at Wrigley. Price doesn't matter too horribly much, especially since I no longer live in Chicago, but it's just nice to know that I'm paying so little and it's good that people who might be a bit low on bucks can see a game for cheap, and up close at that.
Regarding Florida, it seems to me that the trend has been leaning towards AZ for most teams, but maybe that's my imagination. Florida would be good for me cuz I'm in Austin. Spring training is a tradition for me no matter what, and you can definitely understand why they want to upgrade their facilities. Let's just hope they don't decide to outsource it all to India. That's a long flight.

Diane Ruengsorn's diverse background informs her current initiative—her socially and environmentally responsible home furnishings company.
After graduating from Smith College, Diane began her career as a writer, covering technology and business trends. Interviewing political leaders and CEOs of Fortune 500 companies gave her great insight into the issues shaping industry and the environment.
Switching to design and receiving a master's degree from Pratt's Design Management Program, she was greatly influenced by her time spent apprenticing for a furniture designer/manufacturer. There, she witnessed the chemicals and materials that workers were exposed to on a daily basis.
She knew that there must be a better way to create products, with people friendly materials and methods that didn't harm people or the environment. Based on this idea, she founded her company and lives and works by the philosophy "live well, live right." She believes that you can have products that not only enhance your life, but also take into account the well being of other people and our planet.
Diane's designs have been featured in New York Magazine, Interior Design, and multiple features in the New York Times.
