Starring Joseph Cotton, Elke Sommer, Massimo Girotti, Antonio Cantafora, Luciano Pigozzi
Directed by Mario Bava
Distributed by Arrow Video
A maniacal and sadistic old Baron is raised from the dead in the modern day (well, 1972) by a witch's curse to continue his murderous ways in legendary genre director Mario Bava's goofy yet atmospheric Baron Blood. Antonio Cantafora stars as Peter Kleist, a young descendent of the titular Baron Otto von Kleist, who sets off to Austria for a look around the previous stomping grounds of his much-maligned ancestor. There, he and plucky architect Eva (Sommer) take it upon themselves to read aloud an incantation promising to bring the long-deceased Baron back to life so that he can die over and over again — the result of the Baron's grisly infatuation with the torture and murder of accused witches. Unfortunately for them, the "dying again" part of the spell is rendered somewhat impossible when they accidentally burn the parchment sporting the particular chant to send him back. Uh-oh!
And so, the grotesquely rotten and mutilated Baron claws his way up from the grave to set about murdering various locals and members of his castle's staff, while a perfunctory love story plays out between Peter and Eva. In truth, there isn't a whole lot going on in Baron Blood, with much in the way of actual plot a secondary consideration to the grisly set pieces and swathes of style audiences expect from the work of Mario Bava. Joseph Cotton shows up as the wheelchair-bound Alfred Bekker (who may not be just who he seems) and offers welcome respite from the overly wooden performances of his co-stars by chewing the scenery with gusto at every turn in a display that would probably be irritating if it weren't so liberating.
It all leaves Baron Blood a particularly uneven piece of work; yet, Bava's eye is consistently impressive, creating swathes of Gothic imagery such as a chase sequence through fog-laden streets, sterling use of shadow in framing his antagonist, and a great location in the form of the Baron's castle. To be expected is also the director's excellent use of lighting and primary colours, making this another rich visual experience with that distinctly European feel. While it certainly isn't anywhere near the upper echelons of Bava's filmography, it offers enough in the way of style and the gleefully macabre to keep it afloat.
Existing fans of the film, or Bava's work in general, will most certainly be wanting to pick Arrow Video's UK Blu-ray of Baron Blood (sorry, US folks, it's Region B locked so you'll be needing a multi-region player) as soon as they can considering the technical quality of what's on show here. The high definition transfer is tight, organic, and highly pleasing. Colours are vivid, and while some scenes do appear softer than expected, none of the horrors of obvious digital enhancement or compression are to be found. Filmic grain is prevalent and controlled, keeping an authentic look.
Excitingly for collectors, Arrow also include three different versions of the film itself on this release — the shorter, and rare, American International Pictures release with English audio (and sporting a more stereotypically horror-centric score by Les Baxter), the longer Italian-language release entitled Gli orrori del castello di Norimberga, and the similar English export edition with English titles/credits and audio track. Audio and visual quality between these are just as impressive, indicating some true dedication by Arrow, and we also get all versions on DVD too. Alongside these we have a short introduction to the film by author/journalist and Italian horror expert Alan Jones and a topical Italian-language interview with director Ruggero Deodato on his admiration of Bava's work and his own experiences working in Italian genre cinema alongside Mario's son, Lamberto, and others. Mario Bava expert Tim Lucas also provides a consistently insightful and interesting audio commentary that makes for an excellent accompaniment to the film.
On top of that we have the English and Italian trailers for Baron Blood, a selection of radio spots and stills from the set, and a collector's booklet containing critic James Oliver's "Gothic Revival: A Reappraisal of Baron Blood" (not included for review). Finally, Arrow also supply their customary reversible sleeve featuring your choice of original and newly commissioned artwork. A must-have for those looking to fill out their Bava collection with the best presentations available.

Some local road projects fail to make list in $4.7 billion spending planJuly 14, 2014 11:36 PM
The Davis Avenue Bridge on Pittsburgh's North Side has been missing since 2009, when it was imploded because it was falling apart. The bridge also is missing from a four-year plan for major transportation improvements in the region, drawing disappointment from community leaders at a public hearing on the plan on Monday night.
The draft Transportation Improvement Plan envisions $4.7 billion in spending in the 10 counties of southwestern Pennsylvania in the next four years, a 52 percent increase from the current four-year plan.
The plan brings a reversal of years of diminished spending on infrastructure and public transit, bolstered by the funding bill that the Legislature and Gov. Tom Corbett enacted last fall. The commission, a regional planning agency, released the draft last month. It includes more than 130 major road and bridge projects in Pittsburgh and Allegheny County, costing more than $870 million.
At Monday's hearing, much of the attention was focused on projects that did not make the list. Vince Pallus, president of the Brighton Heights Citizens Federation, said the lack of a Davis Avenue Bridge puts North Side neighborhoods "at a serious disadvantage in attracting residents, businesses and commerce."
Mark Fatla, executive director of the North Side Leadership Conference, representing 15 neighborhood groups, said loss of the bridge, which closed to traffic in 2001, also severed a major access route to Riverview Park, one of the city's regional parks.
Mauro Burgwin, president of the Mon-Yough Chamber of Commerce, urged inclusion of the long-delayed next leg of the Mon-Fayette Expressway, from Jefferson Hills to Monroeville. It would open 1,000 acres along the Monongahela River to development and, if paired with an extension of the Martin Luther King Jr. East Busway, "could turn into a true multimodal project," he said.
The TIP lists all of the transportation projects envisioned for the region during the four-year period.
The documents are not "wish lists" like some government capital budgets but must be based on a reasonable expectation that sufficient funding will be available to carry out all of the work. Projects must be listed on the TIP to move forward.
The draft 2015-18 TIP calls for nearly $2 billion in spending on non-interstate highways and bridges, an increase of $534 million or 37 percent; $587 million in spending on interstate highways, up $270 million or 86 percent; and $1.8 billion on transit, an increase of $455 million or 34 percent.
Among the larger projects are a $79 million rehabilitation of the Liberty Bridge in Downtown Pittsburgh, $68 million for Parkway West improvements from Interstate 79 to the Fort Pitt Tunnels; $284 million for nine projects on I-70 in Washington and Westmoreland counties; and $30 million for rehabilitation of the Roberto Clemente, Andy Warhol and Rachel Carson bridges.
Lissa Geiger Schulman, aide to state Rep. Dan Miller, D-Mt. Lebanon, spoke in favor of a major interchange improvement on the Parkway West at Green Tree, with a sound barrier protecting nearby residences. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation intends to build the project, but funding was not available in the next four-year cycle, and major interchange improvements are not part of the funded Parkway West work, said Dan Cessna, PennDOT district executive.
Also in the plan are $11.3 million for Smithfield Street Bridge rehabilitation, $17.1 million for the Elizabeth Bridge, $15.5 million to repave Route 51 from Lebanon Church Road in Pleasant Hills to Bausman Street in the city, $22.9 million for Glenwood Bridge ramps and interchange, $21.6 million to create a street grid at the former Civic Arena site in Pittsburgh's Lower Hill District and $81.5 million for three phases of Freedom Road improvements in Beaver County.
The draft TIP is available for viewing at the Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission's website; its offices at Two Chatham Center, Downtown; the Pittsburgh Planning Department; county planning offices; and many libraries.
A public comment period is open until 4 p.m. Friday. The commission is accepting written comments at SPC Comments, Two Chatham Center, Suite 500, 112 Washington Place, Pittsburgh 15219 or by email at email@example.com.
The commission is scheduled to vote on the plan July 28.

Over burgers at Johnny Rockets in Hollywood, hottie MEGAN FOX, famed for her fascination with the occult, jabbered to lunch companions about the Mayan calendar prediction that world's end was mere days away – not realizing that her colorful descriptions of aliens landing in spaceships to kill off the human race was scaring the bejeebers out of two preteen children sitting nearby!
Finally, the kids' exasperated mom leaned over and begged Megan: "Please stop talking about the world coming to an end! You're really frightening my children."
Megan, a new mom herself, was mortified and immediately apologized, assuring the youngsters she'd just been talking "make-believe stuff."
But the minute the kids and mom split, said my source, Megan went Mayan all over again.
(NOTE: If you're reading this, Megan's dead wrong. And if you're not…well, it's been fun, folks!)…

|In the Sierra Club's mountaineering journal, Ascent, 1973, Jim Bridwell proposed letter grades for 5.10. His examples for 5.10a thin cracks were; Stone Groove, Swan Slab (P2), Sacherer Cracker, Siberian Swarm Screw, East Corner of Higher Cathedral, and Central Pillar of Frenzy (p2 & p6).

Cruxes were a bit easier than Lunatic Fringe, but this route felt much more sustained and insecure on the jams.
The top anchors can be reached by a fun 5.9 variation around the corner to the right that is worth doing in its own right (I'd give it 2-3 stars). Bring pro through #4 BD C4 and be prepared for some sustained & steep jamming, with occasional surprise stems to keep things reasonably easy. There is a little loose rock that is easy to avoid, and a fun lieback on a hollow flake (1-2 #2 C4s) that transitions to a bear hug & mantle to finish.
The second 5.8 pitch above Stone Groove is a LOT harder than the 5.9 approach pitch and it is not hands (well maybe the first part is). It is a very tight & flaring squeeze chimney that takes good elbows-up chikenwinging. There is no pro except for sliding a #6 BD C4 until you reach the chockstone near the top (takes a #1 BD C4?). If you have good flexibility you can reach around and place a small cam in a dirty seam behind you to backup the #6, though it might not hold much of a fall. The #6 is barely large enough to protect as it is slid along or re-set beyond the wider parts. The crux is getting through where the chimney widens just before the chockstone. This pitch was short but burly and very worth doing! (3 stars) Bring minimal pro, as gear definitely gets in the way leading this pitch.
Rap anchors for the 5.8 P2 are old and need replacing. We added some new webbing to tie elements together and added a rappel ring. The top shares the same belay as one of the pitches of the Rorp (5.7) so this route could be TRed from this alternate approach or used as a part of a very lengthy but 5.5ish way to set up a TR on P1 of Stone Groove.

|No need to do any silly variations or anything, this thing protects very well and is a blast (not to mention quite fierce, in that classic friendly Yosemite way). Only reason not to get on it might be crowds, but we didn't encounter any on a gorgeous Sunday in early November...

I'm not the best crack climber, but I found this to be really sustained due to virtually no left feet. For my large hands, the hand jams were generally good most of the way, but where the crack was more constricted and the jams tentative, it felt super tough. Seemed like the key was to read the crack carefully and foot jam high in spots in order to skip over the tough hands portions.
I read that the "roof" portion was the crux, however again with large hands, I did not find this to be true - the narrower crack down low was harder. Above the roof, the terrain felt generally easier.
Pro is definitely bomber just about all the way, so good route on which to push your limits!

It was Week 7 for "So You Think You Can Dance," but really Week One for performances by the Top 20 dancers. Could the animators do choreography? Would the hip-hop and tap dancers be able to do contemporary? Would this season be fantastic or a flop?
The first inkling came in the opening number — choreographed by Napoleon and Tabitha (NappyTabs), the routine to "Puttin' on the Ritz" wove through the backstage and included bits by the judges and several choreographers. I loved Travis Wall scooting by in a huge white feather boa! After magically changing to black suits with bright pink shoes, the dancers finally burst onto the stage with host Cat Deeley, clad in an incredibly pink dress, stepping in to say, "Welcome"! It was fun, fast and made me think that the season will be outstanding.
The producers have come up with so many ways for viewers to vote for their favorite guy and girl that I think the only things they left out are smoke signals and carrier pigeons. And poor Cat has to rattle off the entire jumble of numbers and letters after each pair of dancers finishes performing. She does a great job, but each time, I wait to see if she will be winded by the effort.
The judges for the night were the regulars — head judge Nigel Lythgoe and Mary Murphy, in her best fuchsia dress with gold spangles — plus guest judge Wayne Brady. Nigel took the opportunity to plug "National Dance Day" in July and was willing to embarrass himself in a video on www.funnyordie.com called "So You Think You Can Prance" to promote the event.
The dancers were divided up into couples for the next few weeks of performances. I'm not sure if they drew the dance styles for tonight out of a hat or if someone (judges, producers) picked the style. What happened in almost all cases was that the dancers were out of their comfort zones and seemed to try extra-hard to achieve success.
First up were Mariah, a krumper, and Carlos, who does contemporary. They did a jive choreographed by Jason Gilkison that was fast and furious and full of fun. Although Mary said it looked a bit labored in the kicks/flicks section, it was full of energy and full of life. Wayne called it a "bit frantic" but liked it, and Nigel said if voters wanted energy and excitement, they would get the votes.
Next were jazz dancer Jasmine M. (this season, there are two girls named Jasmine, so they've resorted to initials after each name) and Alan, a ballroom dancer, so naturally they would be doing contemporary. Travis Wall, who finished second in Season 2, created a routine filled with lifts and catches, spins and falls, and all done with both dancers blindfolded. This was an outstanding routine with Jasmine and Alan working incredibly well together. The judges were blown away — Mary said she is in love with the couple and that they had great chemistry, Wayne called it "beautiful" and loved the "trust drop," a move where Jasmine fell backward into Alan's arms. Nigel, however, didn't get the full emotion from Alan that he did from Jasmine. Hey, it's their first routine.
Contemporary dancer Malece (have you noticed that there are a lot of contemporary dancers this season?) and animator Jade were paired for a Travis Wall contemporary number that I thought could be a disaster. But Jade rose to the challenge and carried it off with smooth moves. Nigel said he had seen the routine in dress rehearsal and didn't expect much, so he was stunned by the outstanding performance of the couple and the great partnering of Jade. Mary said she super-enjoyed the routine and Wayne call them "amazing."
It was time for a Broadway routine by Tice DiOrio, and he got exactly what he wanted from Jenna and Tucker. The ballroom girl and the contemporary guy clicked together just right and made it look like a scene from a Gene Kelly movie. Nigel called the pair, a "power couple."
Pairing Brittany, a ballroom dancer, with BluPrint, an animator, might have been horrible except that BluPrint had a lot more hidden inside of him. They performed an Afro jazz routine by Sean Cheesman that was super and sizzling. Wayne said, "BluPrint, I think you're just an animator, then you turn around and say, 'I'm all this, too.'" Nigel added, "You're absolutely amazing!" After Mary said she thought it would be a train wreck, she put them aboard the first Hot Tamale Train of the season.
Just as I was thinking that this would be the most competitive and best season ever, things went a bit south. Alexis, a tap dancer, and contemporary Nico had a hip-hop routine by Christopher Scott, but they just didn't click, either with each other or the routine. It seemed like they just decided they couldn't do hip-hop, so they didn't. The judges had generally negative remarks for the pair and cautioned them that they must adapt to new choreography. In fact, Wayne told them to "learn to adapt and don't fall back on what's comfortable." I wonder what the voting viewers will think.
Makenzie and Paul were next to perform, but although Paul is a ballroom dancer, he only does Latin dances and was unprepared for Jason Gilkison's Viennese waltz. Despite both dancers being unfamiliar with the dance, it turned out to be a fluid and beautiful routine with smooth transitions and a romantic flair. Mary called it "beautiful, romantic, gorgeous" and Nigel said that while it was a old dance, the routine was modern and that the rise and fall was beautiful.
The next performance was by Jasmine H. and Aaron, a tap dancer, and they drew a contemporary routine by Sonya Tayeh. The two are the tallest in the competition and while they call themselves, a "giant couple," long-legged Cat thought they were just the right height — hers. This was an incredibly intense routine that is typically Sonya, and the pair did an awesome job of pulling it off. Wayne even dipped into an imitation of sometime-judge Lil' C to describe how well they did, especially Jasmine, who Nigel said "has legs that go on forever." This couple really has a lot of chemistry with each other and each brings out the other's best attributes.
The show's couples are back on a winning path, and the hip-hop routine by Christopher Scott, danced by Hayley and Curtis, was no exception. It's hard to believe that a tapper like Curtis could transform into a hip-hop/contemporary dancer, but he did it. In fact, the pair was so good that Nigel said earlier couple Alexis and Nico should watch the routine to see how to do it correctly and "with swag." Both Hayley and Curtis had a lot of stage presence and carried off the routine with no trouble.
The final couple was one that I was anticipating. I've already said that Fik-Shun, a hip-hop dancer, was a favorite of mine, but I was worried about how he would adapt to different styles. Well, I shouldn't have worried because he had a secret — I bet he can dance anything! The Sonya Tayeh contemporary routine was strong, intense and amazing, and Amy and Fik-Shun showed that they are one of the couples to beat. After the audience and the judges gave the pair a standing ovation, Wayne said Fik-Shun was "absolutely amazing" and Nigel reminded Amy that he said she was "a beast." With the moves that Fik-Shun showed, Nigel named them "Beauty (Fik-Shun) and the Beast (Amy)." He also said that they were his "favorite couple of the evening."
With one exception, the Top 20 couples were matches made in heaven, and I'm hoping that Alexis and Nico rise to the high level of the competition next week. It will be interesting to see who appeals the most to the voting viewers … and who will be eliminated next Tuesday night. See you then!

This comedy reinvigorates the familiar conventions of Bollywood's signature genre.
Lively, funny and discreetly sentimental, "Hasee toh phasee" presents a special challenge to self-consciously hard-boiled American movie fans — and movie critics. This debut feature by Vinil Mathew, a director of stylish TV commercials, is simply too well made and too enjoyable to be reflexively dismissed by the watchdogs of cool. (The awkward official English title is "She Smiles, She's Snared!")
The film genres that we take seriously in the U.S., and that hip young film nerd directors win awards for "reinventing," run more toward blood squibs and ingeniously florid profanity. Among the forms that need not apply are the zany and/or heart-tugging romantic comedy, complete with ill-advised engagements, red-faced angry relatives and last-minute sprints to the airport.
In Bollywood, though, the travails-of-love melodrama — with or without comedy, but always with upbeat musical numbers — is often seen as the template of the entire industry. It's the form that filmmakers have to wrestle with if they hope to make smarter, more up-to-date commercial movies. "Hasee toh phasee" accomplishes this with a light touch and energy to burn. It makes the regeneration of an overweight and complacent commercial format look easy.
This particular "marriage plot" is one the oldest of earth: A guy meets the perfectly right woman just as he's getting engaged to the obviously wrong one — obvious to everyone but him. Our restless young hero, Nikhil (Sidharth Malhotra), the model-handsome son of a tough cop, is drifting through life as some kind of vaguely defined "event planner." His lovely fiancee, Karishma (Adah Sharma), is a shallow social climber. We can practically hear the thunderclap when Nikhil meets a woman so surprisingly unpredictable that he's energized.
Parineeti Chopra made a strong impression in last year's "Shuddh Desi Romance," a thematically adventurous film about young love and the terrors of marriage in which she played a more conventionally unconventional tomboy. Meera is a much more complicated character, a brainiac whose sharp tongue can barely to keep up with her cascading thought processes. Nikhil's flabbergasted half-smile tells us that he, at least, has been snared. As in many of Hollywood's classic romantic comedies, men and women are shown to have a good shot at happiness if they can keep each other entertained.
Introduced here as a manic pixie Punjabi dream girl, Meera reveals darker and even alarming traits as the story continues and a huge house in Delhi fills up with bickering family members. The nature of Meera's undoubted strangeness becomes an object of suspense: Is she a mere eccentric, in a typical movie-fantasy way that's more cute than troubling, or is she genuinely scary-crazy? Is she a thief and a drug addict, as some relatives charge? Chopra manages to make all these accusations seem plausible, even though we're hoping fervently that they aren't.
"Hasee toh phasee" doesn't shy way from the darker undercurrents of family life. A couple of scenes in which young upstarts are viciously reprimanded are harsh enough to snap our heads back. These aren't pretend movie slaps; they feel real. But so do many of the movie's lighter moments, and the central love story itself. The characters are depicted with enough patience and in sufficient detail that we come to understand what they see in each other, and how the relationship could work.
That's the most important accomplishment of this surprisingly good example of an often belittled story type: It takes plot points that in other hands have become hollow conventions, and brings them back to life, against all odds.

A new Oro Valley citizens group, calling itself "Stop Outrageous OV Giveaways" is circulating petitions to stop two of three multimillion-dollar sales tax rebate deals between the town and developers.
"We are in favor of quality and vibrant projects for Oro Valley. Our real concern is the amount of money that has been given," said the group's spokesperson Chet Oldakowski. "Our real objective is to get this on the ballot in November so that voters can decide. We don't want to stop the development, we just want the whole process to be reviewed by citizens."
In the past month, the town council has approved economic incentive packages totaling $42.6 million for almost two million square feet of retail store space along Oracle Road from Tangerine Road south to Magee Road.
The first of these was approved March 25 giving developer BP Magee LLC $6.5 million, or 46 percent of sales tax revenue generated over 10 years from Oracle Crossings, a proposed 300,000-square-foot shopping mall - to include shops, restaurants, a bank and offices - adjacent to the Fry's shopping center at the southwest corner of Oracle and Magee. The agreement was approved in a 3-2 council vote, with Mayor Paul Loomis and Councilmembers Dick Johnson, and Werner Wolff in favor and Councilmembers Paula Abbott and Bart Rochman opposed.
On April 7, the council approved $23.2 million for the Phoenix-based Vestar Development Co., representing 45 to 50 percent of sales tax revenue generated over 16 years by its proposed 900,000-square-foot regional power and entertainment center - Oro Valley Marketplace - at Oracle and Tangerine roads, directly across the street from Catalina State Park. Vestar projects are typically built for repeat tenants like big-box retailers Wal-Mart, Sam's Club, Ross Dress for Less, Target, Home Depot, Lowe's and AMC Theaters, according to a Nov. 1, 2000 issue of Retail Traffic magazine. The deal was approved in a 3-2 vote, with Johnson, Rochman and Wolff in favor and Loomis and Abbott opposed.
The petitioners are seeking to stop both agreements.
In a third deal on April 12, Canada del Oro Partners came before the council asking for a $12.9 million incentive package for its 600,000-square-foot "Main Street" project, Oro Valley Town Centre at Rooney Ranch, at Oracle Road and First Avenue, across from the Target shopping center. Facing little opposition, the deal sailed through council, which in a 4-0 vote, approved sharing 45 percent of the sales tax revenue and 2 percent of the town's 3 percent bed tax generated by the project over the 16-year life of the contract. Councilmember Abbott did not attend the session.
The opposition group has not yet determined whether it will oppose the CDO deal.
"People seem to really like that plan," Oldakowski said. "They're saying this is really what we want to see." How to get there may be another matter, he said.
By the Northwest EXPLORER press deadline April 19, the ordinance approving the CDO Partners deal had not been signed by the mayor, meaning the petitioners would have to wait to file a third referendum petition, Town Clerk Kathi Cuvelier said.
Together, the three agreements potentially provide $154 million for the town over the next 20 years. Projections indicate that the BP Magee site could generate $2.5 billion in retail sales and $37.3 million in sales tax revenue for Oro Valley. The Vestar project is expected to generate $3.6 billion in retail sales and $74.4 million in sales tax revenue to the town. Another $2.5 billion in retail sales and $42.3 million in potential sales tax revenue for Oro Valley is estimated for the CDO Partners center at Rooney Ranch.
"I would describe it as two years of effort all coming together at once," said Mayor Loomis. "What the incentive is trying to do is reduce that cost such that we're able to compete with other communities."
Loomis said he fails to fully understand objections to the incentives. "If you look at what we're trying to do and what we've done with the agreements is that we have forced the developers to start work on their projects so we can look forward to seeing a sales tax return some time in the near future."
To make the town economically independent is one of the prime visions and goals of the town General Plan, he said.
"If the referendum gets sufficient signatures and isn't challenged, it has the potential to stop development," he said. "It would take away incentive to hurry it through."
In Scottsdale, a city often looked to as a model for Oro Valley, an overwhelming majority of citizens recently used the referendum process to reject a $36.7 million deal with developer Steve Ellman, who planned to bring a Wal-Mart and other big-box retailers to the site of the old Los Arcos Mall. At the ballot box on March 9, 83 percent of Scottsdale voters rejected the deal, which would have given the developer 49 percent of the city's 1.4 percent sales tax over 40 years.
"It was too much money, people didn't want a big box there and there was concern about Wal-Mart in particular," said David Roderique, the city's economic vitality general manager.
Area grocers, including Fry's and Basha's, and the Scottsdale Area Chamber of Commerce raised more than $136,000 to defeat the Ellman deal, according to the Arizona Republic. The city council had narrowly approved the deal last summer.
Over the years, Scottsdale's biggest economic development agreement has been a $28.5 million sales tax rebate to developer Westcor to bring the upscale retailer Nordstrom -through a subsidized lease deal - and an additional 400,000 square feet to Scottsdale's Fashion Square Mall.
But that deal was an anomaly, Roderique said. Most deals offer much less to the developer.
"We've done other incentive packages - 15 over the years," he said. "Most are 10- or 5- year maximum and the dollar amount is $2 to $5 million, something in that range, typically 10 percent of the total revenue. Normally, if we do an incentive and we pay $2 million in incentives, we're looking at getting back $20 million over 20 years. This was an unusual project with a lot of different needs."
One of Scottsdale's early incentive deals was with the big-box retailer Costco. "We did an incentive in 1987 for Costco - with only $110,000 in incentives - that generated $20 million over 15 years in sales tax revenue," Roderique said. "That was paid off in three months. So there's a whole spectrum of deals out there."
In the Fashion Square Mall deal, the agreement was approved in 1996 and the expansion was completed two years later, he said. The sharing agreement amounted to a 40 or 50 percent sales tax rebate.
"A big chunk of that went into a public parking garage. At the end of the development agreement, Westcor will dedicate the garage to the city of Scottsdale," he said. "You have to meet the gift clause of the state constitution. You cannot gift public funds for purely private benefit."
Traditionally, economic incentive agreements with developers have helped cities and towns pay for road, sewer and other infrastructure improvements. These deals are "still structured technically to improve
infrastructure. We are in essence paying for things that would
normally be the developer's responsibility but they serve the public good," he
said. "Typically, the burden is on the developer to provide receipts to us showing they spent it on the infrastructure expenses. We've had cases where we approved a higher number, but actual numbers came in lower, so the incentive was lowered based on actual expenses."
Like many cities, Scottsdale is sensitive to a provision in Arizona's constitution that - while ambiguously worded and open to legal interpretation - appears to prohibit gifts of public funds, even to attract development and the sales tax it brings. Many cities and towns interpret the gift clause as allowing incentives as long as they are applied to public infrastructure.
Mary Vivion-Withrow, economic development program manager for the city of Phoenix, said that the city agreed to share 50 percent of city sales tax up to $1.4 million with the developers of Kierland Commons, a "Main Street" project like the Oro Valley Town Centre, at Loop 101 and Scottsdale Road.
"The city immediately recognized what a wonderful development it would be and that there could be transportation issues and limited public parking. "So the city agreed to a 50-year lease for 290 parking spaces, 50 for the Park and Ride Transit system," she said. Arizona's gift clause is the reason "we dealt with public parking spaces and spaces dedicated to the transit system. Clearly, it's a lot but it depends on what it will bring to the city."
Roderique predicted that developer incentive deals will persist throughout Arizona, until the state takes measures to broaden its tax base. "The way the legislature has structured the financial picture, we don't have local income tax, property taxes are low here, we don't have services tax, or employment tax, and that keeps pushing everything on sales tax. It almost forces cities to act like this," he said.
"You've got to find ways to get retail into your community," he said. "Sales tax generates eight times more revenue than our property tax. Getting retail here is very important. It's almost 50 percent of our operating budget."
In Oro Valley, Oracle Crossing developer BP Magee could come before council with its final plan as early as June, and the company could begin grading by October, said Town Economic Development Administrator Jeff Weir. "They have submitted a development plan - staff has looked at it - and responded with necessary changes," he said. "This is an aggressive plan. They will go sooner if they can." As of now, the plan is scheduled to go before the town's Development Review Board May 11.
BP Magee recently purchased the old Fry's shopping center north of its proposed site. "The plan is to initiate getting the new center started and constructed and then in three to five years, give the existing center a face lift," he said.
With regard to public benefit, Weir added that besides the $41 million in hard construction costs associated with Oracle Crossings, BP Magee could incur as much as another $10 million in additional costs associated with drainage and flood control improvements at the site.
For its Oro Valley Marketplace, Vestar has said that it could spend $13.1 million solely to meet the town's high architectural standards and another $16.8 million in infrastructure investments at the site, including two miles of storm drains and a new levee at the rear of the center, traffic signals and improvements at Tangerine and Oracle, extra fill to bring the site out of a floodplain, relocation of an existing sewer line and re-vegetation of the area.
Additionally, Weir estimated that CDO Partners could spend $11.3 million in infrastructure costs during construction of Oro Valley Town Centre to pay for landscaping and improvements along Oracle Road as part of the Oracle Road Improvement District.
Attorney Keri Silvyn, who represents CDO developer Blake Hastings, said that the project represents more than a third of the district, "which Blake is participating in to the tune of over $2 million," she said. "All of that is public infrastructure, including the widening of Oracle Road, sidewalks along Oracle and signals at Pusch and at First." The project will also dedicate pedestrian paths along Rooney Wash to the town and include public amenities such as plaza areas, she said.
"I have no idea why people are out there saying that they don't want this to happen. One hundred percent of zero is still zero," Weir said. "We are not spending a penny. These developers are putting in hundred's of millions of dollars and they take all the risk. The council has said, 'If you perform, you are allowed to share a portion of revenues.'"
In the case of the BP Magee project, petitioners have 30 days to collect 645 signatures.
"Assuming that the issue is referable, that would stay the effective date of the ordinance adopting the economic development agreement," Town Attorney Mark Langlitz said, which could delay the project. "It would be up to the developer to decide whether to move forward, with the potential that if those issues do go to the voters they could vote against the ordinance."
However, he added, the town can determine whether the issue is subject to referendum. "What it comes down to legally is whether the ordinance approving the agreement is a legislative or administrative act."
A prior legislative act, such as the town's adoption of its 2001 economic development guidelines, could render any subsequent economic agreements merely administrative. "Administrative acts are not subject to referendum," Langlitz said.

UFC welterweight Josh Koscheck has called himself a "moneyweight" in the past before, expressing a willingness to fight at 170 pounds or 185 pounds depending on how big the fight was in terms of a potential payday. While Koscheck's bout tomorrow night against Mike Pierce at UFC 143 may not be the highest profile pairing he's been involved in, it's certainly one with a significant paycheck attached to it, and in the end it appears that's all he ultimately cares about.
"I get paid the same whether I am fighting Mike Pierce or Carlos Condit, so I don't care who I fight," Koscheck explained in comments at the open workouts. "I am a gold digger, I fight for money. You'd be a dumb SOB to fight for free but I do enjoy my job and I fight my ass off. I have a big mouth and I don't want to lose and I want to look good out there."
Koscheck had originally been scheduled to face Condit at Saturday night's event before an injury to Georges St. Pierre forced "The Natural Born Killer" into his headlining match-up with Nick Diaz.
As far as Pierce, Koscheck admitted he's familiar with Pierce's wrestling ability but that's about it.
"I didn't really know who this guy was when I agreed to fight him," said Koscheck. "I remember he fought Jon Fitch but not too well. I think I remember that fight, he didn't get anything going until the very last minute. I know he called me out, so he must think he can win… but they all think that until I punch them in the face."
Fans can see how Pierce reacts to Koscheck's hands, or "Kos" to Pierce's takedowns, when they collide on PPV with the broadcast beginning at 10:00 PM EST (prelims will be shown on FX/Facebook in the preceding three hours).
MMATraining Take: Koscheck is a great talker and backs it up with skill as well. I honestly believe he's probably a pretty good guy in real life, building himself up as a jerk in the media as a means of selling tickets. After all, the price of entry to see a guy get knocked out is the same as seeing him knock a person out.

Vanessa Ghigliotty was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer when she was just 27 years old. At the time of her diagnosis, she was unable to walk and her tumor was beginning to protrude out of her right abdominal wall. Eleven years later, Vanessa is dedicated to spreading colon cancer awareness locally and nationally.
Personal Story
My name is Vanessa Ghigliotty and I was diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer when I was 27. I celebrate National Dress in Blue Day because I feel it is up to us as cancer survivors and caregivers to teach everyone what we already know: early detection saves lives! This is why we need to get our friends, families and colleagues involved in this and every Dress in Blue Day.
I was diagnosed with colon cancer right before my 28th birthday; my cancer was metastasized in my abdominal wall and lymph nodes. At the time of diagnosis, I was unable to walk and the tumor was beginning to protrude out of my right abdominal wall; I very foolishly thought it was either gas or a cyst on my ovary. I was constantly tired and weak, always having the chills (nightly fevers without realizing it at the time) and extreme pain on my right side, going to the bathroom once every two weeks and never hungry.
I remember finally being diagnosed in the emergency room after doctors ignored me. I remember being told I had to get my affairs in order as soon as possible and my new oncologist telling me if I wanted to live then we were going to fight. I didn't realize at the time that my whole world would change and that every aspect of my life would get really bad before it got better. I remember being too sick to work, bill collectors calling non-stop, working with lawyers and social workers as my son decided who was going to raise him when I am gone and so many other issues.
It was hard and it was dark, but somewhere along the way you realize that you have a choice. You can choose to get chemotherapy, have surgeries and fight the cancer invading your body or you can die peacefully. Once I realized cancer had no power over me, I decided to be positive and all the darkness started to be replaced with light.
Now, at age 39, I am almost 11 years out from my initial diagnosis and I can say I have No Evidence of Disease (NED). I still have a lot of pain and complications from all the surgeries and damage to my body from the chemotherapy but it's OK because I am alive. I give back, I've learned to appreciate my life and, most importantly, I've learned not to be ashamed that I was a young mother but to be happy that I was able to raise such an amazing young man!
I was lucky enough to find the Colon Cancer Alliance (CCA) through the American Cancer Society website and that's when I feel my new life began – the life of giving back that I dreamed of while I was sick. As an active volunteer for the CCA, I advocate for legislation regarding colon cancer on a local and sometimes national level, participate in the My CCA Support Online Community and am a CCA Buddy, giving advice, help and encouragement to those in need. I've held leadership positions in the VoicesVolunteer Program and am now the NYC CCA Ambassador, speaking as a survivor and teaching advocacy at cancer-related events. When I started volunteering for the CCA, what I never realized was how close I would get to the staff and my fellow volunteers and how so many of them would become like my family.
I'm proud to participate in Dress in Blue Day because it is one of the most exciting and fun ways for us to promote colon cancer awareness and how very important it is to get screened early! I always love how surprised people are when I say I was only 27 when I was diagnosed because the general public still thinks this is an older man's disease. Colon cancer is the only cancer that is preventable if caught early. Screening saves so many lives and early detection saves you from so many complications that can develop from a late-stage diagnosis.
Vanessa Ghigliotty, 39
Stage IV survivor

Study: Police body cams reduce use-of-force claims by up to 88 percent
WASHINGTON, D.C. (WJLA) - As we continue to learn more about what happened more than a week ago in Ferguson, Missouri, some are focusing on what we may never know.
At the heart of the violence and chaos in Ferguson is one question - what actually happened in the moments leading up to the death of Michael Brown?
Three people say they witnessed the shooting and have spoken to reporters, giving similar accounts. Authorities have spoken to the officer accused, but there's still something missing, as Chris Rickerd of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says.
"If body-worn cameras had been in place, there would be an objective account of the events that could at least be assessed for if the use-of-force policy was followed or not," he said.
Though the ACLU is an organization that usually advocates against surveillance, it's a win-win situation when it comes to authorities being watched, he said.
"It would exonerate the police officer if the allegation of abuse were false, but also as you said, provide an objective account of what happened," he explained.
So-called "cop cams" that are already in use around the country are made to clip onto an officer's lapel or even onto their sunglasses.
In a one-year study in Rialto, California, the numbers speak for themselves - use-of-force cases by officers wearing the cameras have dropped 60 percent, and complaints are down 88 percent.
Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the Cato Institute, says this could also help police by sorting out untrue claims - but he adds, if widely adopted, the practice would need to come with some restrictions.
"As they record what the police is doing, they are also often recording what citizens are doing - perhaps storing that, perhaps making it searchable," he said. "If the film is there and is being stored for some period of time, someone else will want to use it. "
The danger, he says - another trove of video with the ability to apply facial recognition software in cases totally unrelated.
Once the chaos in Ferguson quiets, the quest for truth will likely remain.

Search is definitely your friend! I was just going to post and ask if anyone owns or can provide info on this beast. I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on this (25 cal) for weeks now but wanted to know if anyone had any experience with it. I guess my questions have been answered. Anything more you can add? What pellets does it seem to like best, etc. Thank you.
Maybe you tinkered a tad too much. :-)Oh well, it's probably the best way to learn. Good luck with it.
Nice review! My rifle is still full power, but I just added an LDC and it is much more friendly to the neighbors. I'll try and polish the barrel soon. I initially started with the benjamin domes and I thought they were awesome for accuracy all though after going through and inspecting a whole tin. I found the skirts on about 16 of the damaged. I am now using jsb's and some 43g cast. This rifle shoots hard! I'm ordering a chrony as we speek.
I have the TKO. It makes a difference. And catches the lead dust. What is the Clague made out of? Does anyone know of an app that records db over 100. I'd like to find one.

Megan Fox gains 10 pounds for Transformers
It finally happened -- a Hollywood blockbuster production told its lead actress that she's way too skinny! Look outside for pigs with wings. Megan Fox told Fox News that she had to pack on the pounds after losing a bunch of weight for her role in Jennifer's Body, a Diablo Cody joint about a cheerleader who kills boys at her high school.
"I should have toned up for Transformers but I'm really lazy. I had to put on weight," she said. "I'd lost a lot of weight and got really scrawny, but I was told I had to put on size for Transformers because (director) Michael (Bay) doesn't like skinny girls."
So what was her secret to bulking up (like The Juice* needs tips)?
"I just stopped eating," she said. "I don't eat very healthy anyway -- I have a serious sugar tooth, so now I eat red-velvet cake before I go to bed every night, and if you eat meals later, you'll put on weight faster, so I had dinner at 10 p.m."
Next up for Megan: A catalog gig for Lane Bryant.

Hello & thanks for taking time to review. I am planning to buy a S&W M&P 9mm. I would like to compete in either IDPA/IPSC (working on locating groups in Tulsa) at some point. Which models/barrel lengths of the M&P play well with the sport? I'd like to have as many options (as to what events I can do) as is reasonable from one pistol. Any advice you might have for a beginner would be appreciated.

With summer quickly approaching and the temperatures already soaring in some parts of the country, there's a new series of hydration packs on the market for you to consider for your national park adventures.
Platypus, which has a long history in the hydration world, has come out with several day packs that offer more room for gear than you actually might want for a day hike, as well as up to 100 ounces of water.
The hydration packs are part of Platypus's X. T. Series, which is aimed at both day hikers and more aggressive backcountry scramblers. The packs feature weatherproof designs -- taped seams, waterproof fabric coatings, and water-resistant zippers -- that should shield your gear from snow and rain as long as you're not caught in an extended deluge or fall into a river, stream, or lake.
In addition, there are external straps on both the pack's back and sides that allow you to carry a wide variety of items. I found the straps perfect for toting a camera tripod during a 6-mile round-trip hike into Horseshoe Canyon at Canyonlands National Park earlier this spring. You also easily could accommodate a climbing helmet or rope, and in winter an ice axe or shovel could be cinched onto your back. If that's not enough, there are also mesh side pockets for stuffing miscellaneous small items, such as binoculars, snacks, or even rain gear.
The X. T. Series of packs come in both 25-liter and 30-liter capacities -- three of those liters (100 ounces) are the water. The packs feature top-loading zipper access to the main compartment, as well as a smaller, zippered top pocket for those easily lost items that you don't want to dig too far for, such as keys, a cell phone, or wallet.
The waist belt, which also can be left home, has two small zippered hip pockets for more items.
One thing I really like about these new packs is the hydration bladder itself. These bladders feature a wide-opening mouth that makes it easy both to fill, add ice cubes if you have them, and then clean up afterwards. Some hydration bladders are difficult to clean after a trip because of the small opening, but that's not the case with Platypus's Big Zip SL bladders. They feature a "slidelock" that securely seals the bladder, as well as a "SlimeGuard" anti-microbial treatment that further helps keep the bladder clean and tasteless.
If there's a possible downside to these packs, it's that you might find yourself stuffing too much in for a day hike. The 35-liter pack could, without too much difficulty, be put to service for ultra-light overnighters. To make such a trek comfortable, the packs feature both a padded and ventilated suspension system and a frame sheet with aluminum stay.

text: Hello, this is my first post and I really need some help. And, yes, I did try to search for threads containing this and all of them did not have the necessary files accessible. Background: Rooted the exhibit on Saturday (first ever root) because the phone was terribly laggy. Afterwards, it worked great. Got SetCPU, wifi tether, bloatware remover, and other things that I heard were great on root. So, I deleted most of the bloatware and stock contacts app. Today, I noticed I didn't have any service, and could not get it anywhere I normally could. Now I'm starting to freak because it's a new phone. Tried everything, could not get it to get service. Odd thing was, it got service for the first 30 seconds on startup, but after media scanner ran it would go to 0 bars. Thinking I'll just factory reset it, I reset it using recovery startup. Now, because I deleted all that bloatware, among other things, I can call, but I can't get data connection and Android.process.acore stopped keeps popping up. So, I was wondering if someone could provide flashing software, factory flash, and instructions on how to do so. I feel so stupid for doing this to my phone, and hope I can get it back. Thank you all, Mike

The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved JPMorgan Chase & Company's (NYSE:JPM) proposed copper exchange-traded fund (ETF) in December, shooting down arguments by opponents who fear that the fund will reduce physical copper stocks available for industrial use and are considering legal action.
It has been more than two years since JPMorgan first sought approval for the fund, and if all goes according to plan, trading in the fund's shares could begin on the NYSE Arca exchange in the first quarter of this year. The opposition is mainly based on the assumption that copper stored in warehouses for the purpose of backing exchange-traded shares would remove a significant amount of copper from the physical market, exacerbating existing shortages and as a result driving up prices and making copper susceptible to manipulation by speculators. "It appears the commission categorically rejected all of the substantial evidence presented as to the catastrophic damage that the proposed (fund) could have for industrial users of copper," Robert Bernstein of the law firm Eaton & Van Winkle said in a letter to the SEC, asking it to reverse its ruling, Reuters reported. Bernstein said that the consortium that he represents — US copper fabricators Southwire, Encore Wire (NASDAQ:WIRE), Luvata and Amrod, as well as hedge fund and copper trader Red Kite — hasn't decided whether to take legal action against the SEC, "but we certainly laid the groundwork to do that." The consortium has until February 18 to decide. The copper ETF would consist of 6.18 million shares, backed by about 61,800 metric tons (MT) of copper held in warehouses, according to a NASDAQ article. Blackrock's proposed iShares Copper Trust — an ETF that the SEC recently delayed ruling on until February 22 — would hold up to 121,200 MT of copper. In total, the two ETFs would reduce the amount of copper available for immediate delivery by about 34 percent, pushing up copper prices and increasing its volatility, according to opponents cited by the SEC in its December ruling.

AOLpress is a discontinued HTML editor that was available from AOL. It was originally developed as NaviPress by the company NaviSoft before being bought by AOL. It was discontinued in 2000. However, the last version (2.0) may still be found on some websites for downloading. AOLpress was rather strict about enforcing legal HTML which did not conform to the HTML 3.2 standard and specifications. When saving edited pages which were created outside AOLpress, code that did not comply may have been changed to do so. Today, the HTML code used is very outdated and may not display more recent websites. It does not support PNG, and this limits its support on many websites where the new PNG format has been adopted.
In February 1994, NaviSoft Inc. released Navipress, which was a web browser with an integrated HTML editor. Navisoft was very similar to the first web browser (created by TIm Berners-Lee), WorldWideWeb,[1] for the classic Mac OS and Microsoft Windows.[2] According to Berners-Lee, "Navipress was a true browser and editor, which produced clean HTML." [3]
In late 1995, AOL acquired NaviSoft,[4] and the package was retitled as "GNNPress" and later "AOLpress" and made available for downloading on AOL's Global Network Navigator website.[5]
In Weaving the Web, Berners-Lee attributes the death of AOLpress to the release of Netscape Navigator 2.0 in 1996. AOL's Steve Case reached an agreement with Bill Gates so that AOL users could use a version of the Explorer browser, which did not have HTML editing functionality. This agreement led to the decline of AOLpress. According to Berners-Lee AOLpress was, at the time, "one of the few commercial browsers that provided simple online editing." [6]
In 1998, AOLpress made PC Magazine's "Best Products of the Year" issue. The editors describe it as "the only program that combines WYSIWYG Web page editing, HTML source code editing, Web site management, and Web browsing in a single interface." The article goes on to say that AOLpress "isn't simply an editor that looks like a browser. It is a browser."[7]
System requirements[edit]
AOLpress 2.0 requires 8 megabytes of RAM with more recommended, a display capable of at least 256 colors, a 386 CPU, 8 megabytes of free disk space, and either Windows NT or Windows 95 operating system. Although the installer is 16-bit and will not work under 64-bit Windows to install the software, AOLpress is capable of launching even under Windows 8, though it crashes within a short time after starting.
Although the program is not accepted by Windows 7 it will run in compatibility mode in Windows 10

Welcome back to The Queue, the daily Q&A column in which the WoW Insider team answers your questions about the World of Warcraft. Adam Holisky (@adamholisky) will be your host today.
We'll jump right into the first question here. My answer is a long one...
Rick asked:
Why was WoW never started from the Beginning? I mean why not tell the whole story from the start? Seems like we could have had a lot more content this way, and bouncing around would have never happened, do you think some day we may see that as a WoW 2 thing? I mean I finally picked up the Battlechest with the RTS WoW, but I think it would have been nice to see in the game we all love.
Same goes for the books, I wish we could just get the whole story in order for once.
I love this question on multiple levels. I think it gets to a very good criticism of WoW, and that's its narrative method. Right now we jump along from point A to B to C, cross over some boundaries, go to a different land, and end up at the present (which will soon be the past). This hasn't come about because of lack of storytelling integrity, but because of the very nature of a persistent world game.
Last week I wrote about how WoW is just the next step in a long line of storytelling vehicles, dating back to pictures on the cave wall to the grand operas of the 1800s. The next step for storytelling is to have a responsive and dynamic environment which is uniquely and completely altered based on character actions. Think of the holodeck on the Enterprise; when Picard and Data go and kill one of their fictional Sherlock Holmes enemies, the entire design of the program changes. Characters interact differently, plots change, and the entire environment becomes responsive to the protagonist's actions.
The bouncing around, the lack of easy to follow continuity is due to the necessary unresponsive nature of WoW and all of gaming. We've seen hints of the solution in phasing now, and other games implement it to a greater extent, but still, we have yet to see an entire world change based on the actions of the gamer. Even in Skyrim, which has one of the most responsive environments out there, do you think kids would be running around outside if there were dragons about? Of course not.
So back to your question -- why doesn't WoW start at the beginning? Because the world would be too large, and the story itself would be impossible to tell. The world would not change, the response would not happen; and with as dynamic and changing as Azeroth's history is, that change is a necessity.
Now I do want to mention another side to your answer here -- and that's one of the backstory. Everything must have a beginning, and a lot of the creation myths have this in spades. Azeroth's creation, while there are still some holes to fill, fits nicely into the standard (and ancient) dogmatic nature of humanity's lore. A good story has this depth and world building as a foundational element to the current tale, which almost always picks up at a pivotal plot moment in the history of a character. In our case it's the arrival of the Orcs.
Can we, should be, go back to the first traces of the Burning Legion? I think we should! Can we in any sort of fleshed out way, without doing another Back to the Future style jumps? Not right now -- but I wouldn't put it past Blizzard do find a way to create a responsive world to do just this.
Geonerd asked:
Since its children's week do you think we will ever find out whats going on with Salandria and Dornaa future selves?
Welcome to dangling plot thread number 9,899. It's over 9000.
Diamond asked:
Are we getting a podcast tonight, did I miss something, or is my computer being obnoxious again, as it does?
We announced on Twitter last night that the podcast was delayed -- we'll likely do it Thursday evening, although I'm not 100% sure yet.
Have questions about the World of Warcraft? The WoW Insider crew is here with The Queue, our daily Q&A column. Leave your questions in the comments, and we'll do our best to answer 'em!

Contrary to an unpopular hoax, the purveyors of Good Old Games said Wednesday that their site was not going under.
Good Old Games is an online videogame retailer that specializes in selling downloadable versions of PC gaming classics free of copy protection.
Fans were shocked and disappointed on Sunday when the Good Old Games website appeared to have been shut down for "business and technical reasons."
But the temporary closure and suggestive messaging was all a ruse. Today, representatives from Good Old Games confirmed that the "shutdown" was a marketing stunt.
Good Old Games managing director Guillaume Rambourg and co-founder Marcin Iwinski offered a profoundly weird mea culpa to those who felt burnt by the sudden, fake closure of their website. In a video, both men, clad in monk's robes, bowed penitently repeating the mantra, "We have sinned. Forgive us."
The Good Old Games website will relaunch at 8 a.m. Eastern time Thursday with a "vastly enhanced" website.

Real presidential candidate says has Drogba deal
Eduardo Garcia, one of several candidates for the Real Madrid presidency, said he had an agreement to sign Chelsea striker Didier Drogba if he won the Primera Liga club's June election.
"We have agreements with three players," Garcia told sports daily AS on Tuesday.
"A Champions League centre forward who scores goals in England. We could present him just after being elected. With people like Drogba we are looking for immediate results."
Garcia added that he had a deal for a Brazilian who occupied a similar position to Kaka, who still played in his native country, and for Racing Santander's left back.
AS named the players as Keirrison of Palmeiras and Ivan Marcano.

New Delhi, June 7 (UNI) World's youngest Grandmaster Parimarjan Negi today said he had a long way to travel before could get to where his idol Vishwananthan Anand has reached -- to being the world number one.
''I am far from being the world number one,'' Negi said, on being asked whether he was the next 'Vishy' Anand in the making for India.
Speaking at the press club in the capital to honour his achievements in the just-concluded World Youth Stars held at Kirishi in Russia, where he finished joint first, Negi said ''I want to get to 2600 ELO points now.'' The 13-year-old Delhi lad said,''It was one of my best performance there.....I played some of the best young players in the event,'' adding with a sad face, ''Except the ending, it was satisfying because I was leading before the last round.'' The youngest International Master of the country has, however, not let success get to his head.
''There have been weaknesses in my game. I have identified the problem areas and am going to work with my coaches, especially on my openings.
Negi will be leaving for a three-week training to Athens under GM Nigel Short to hone his skills in the game.
The chess prodigy echoed Vishy Anand's views that technology has helped the younger lot and the game was getting was younger.
''Its getting younger. The age of the world champions is coming down,'' adding, ''It won't be a surprise if an Under-25 guy wins the World championship now.
However, his mother Paridhi Negi, is not yet ready to let go off her son like the Anand has done.
His mother told UNI, ''I miss him when he is outside home but I have other responsibilities and my husband usually accompanies him on tours. I don't think we are ready to let him shift base as of now.
Parimarjan, a nith grade student also thanked his classmates and teachers for being considerate and co-operative although he has to miss most of the classes due to his chess engagements.
When reminded whether the crucial Board exams next year would deter him, Negi, who is a bookworm and music lover humbly says ''I get almost 90 per cent...Am doing quite well right now.'' UNI

Regardless, upgrades and downgrades move stocks in the short-term. They fall into our CHEAT SHEET framework category 'C = Catalyst for a Stock's Movement'. Here are catalysts you must know today:
