Myself and my husband have just enjoyed a weekend away in this hotel and found it the ideal base for exploring the centre due to its ideal location.
The hotel is super modern and looks recently renovated. The reception area, breakfast room and bedrooms are very clean and the staff really friendly.
We stayed in a standard room but it was anything but standard. The room was comfortable - very comfortable bed. The bathroom was large with a walk in shower with enough power and hot water. The rooms were well insulated and we rarely heard any other guests at all.
The breakfast was good with a selection of breads, pastries, cheeses, cereal and some hot items. Plenty enough for us.
We found the location perfect for bars and restaurants and tourist information points.

Mahatma Gandhi Setu (Hindi: महात्मा गांधी सेतु) (also called Gandhi Setu or Ganga Setu) is a bridge over the river Ganges connecting Patna in the south to Hajipur in the north of Bihar.[1] It was the longest river bridge in India at the time of its construction and remains the longest river bridge in Asia.[2] It was inaugurated in May 1982 by the then Prime Minister, Mrs Indira Gandhi.
Its length is 5,575 metres (18,291 ft)[3] which makes it one of the longest bridges in the world.
Planning and Significance[edit]
This bridge was approved by the Central Government in 1969 and built by Gammon India Limited over a period of ten years, from 1972 to 1982. It was built in connect North Bihar with the rest of Bihar. Before this bridge was constructed, Rajendra Setu, opened in 1959, was the only link to North Bihar. Since then, the Vikramshila Setu has also been built across the Ganges. Two more rail-cum-road bridges are currently under construction, between Digha and Sonepur[4] and at Munger.[5]
The Indian postal department issued a commemorative postage stamp on Landmark Bridges Of India: Mahatma Gandhi Setu of denomination 0500 Paise on 17 August 2007.[6]
Engineering Details[edit]
This bridge consists 45 intermediate spans of 121.065 metres (397.19 ft) each and a span of 65.530 metres (214.99 ft) at each end.[7] The deck provides for a 7.5 metres (25 ft) wide two lane roadway for IRC class 70 R loading with footpaths on either side.[8] The cantilever segmental construction method was adopted to construct this mega bridge.
Traffic Congestion[edit]
In recent times, the Bridge has been witnessing major traffic chaos and accidents due to exceeding number of vehicles passing over it and its regularly damaging structure. Bihar Government is planing to build two Pontoon bridges in parallel to it, in order to ease traffic.[9]

Humanitarian Evacuation of Homs Begins
A convoy of United Nations buses has arrived in the besieged central Syrian city of Homs and started an initial evacuation of 200 women and children from its most heavily-bombarded districts.The humanitarian breakthrough comes as the Syrian deputy foreign minister has said the government will take part in a second round of peace talks in Geneva. Some 12 civilians came out on the first evacuation bus, among nearly 200 expected to be brought out during the day amid a heavy troop presence, an AFP news agency correspondent said. State television reported that two busloads left Homs with a total of 35 people on board, mostly women, children and the elderly." (Al Jazeera http://aje.me/1iBsdVV)
Global Measles Deaths Reach Historic Low
Humanity affirming news from the WHO. "Measles deaths have reached historic lows, dropping more than 78% from more than 562 000 deaths in 2000 to 122,000 in 2012. The WHO attributes this sharp decline to the increased availability of vaccines, saying that 13.8 million deaths have been prevented in this time period. More than 1 billion kids in the developing world have received Measles and Rubella vaccine since 2000. This is thanks in large part to partnerships like the Measles and Rubella Initiative, which includes the American Red Cross, CDC, UN Foundation, UNICEF and World Health Organization." (UN Dispatch http://bit.ly/1khYFQX)
Potential Deal Reached Over Humanitarian Access to Homs, Syria
The governor of Homs said a deal was reached to evacuate civilians from the besieged old city. "The United Nations made clear that it was not a party to the deal and while it was ready to send in aid, it did not yet have the go-ahead from the government and opposition sides in Syria's war to move on the reported agreement. 'The United Nations and humanitarian partners had pre-positioned food, medical and other basic supplies on the outskirts of Homs ready for immediate delivery as soon as the green light was given by the parties for safe passage,' U.N. spokesman Farhan Haq said in a statement."

Excellent news hot off the World Health Organization presses: Measles deaths have reached historic lows, dropping more than 78% from more than 562 000 deaths in 2000 to 122,000 in 2012.
The WHO attributes this sharp decline to the increased availability of vaccines, saying that 13.8 million deaths have been prevented in this time period. More than 1 billion kids in the developing world have received Measles and Rubella vaccine since 2000. This is thanks in large part to partnerships like the Measles and Rubella Initiative, which includes the American Red Cross, CDC, UN Foundation, UNICEF and World Health Organization.
It is helpful to put this in perspective: a disease that used to kill half a million children every year now only kills a fraction of that number–and is on the path toward elimination. This progress ought to be sung from the mountaintops. Still, Measles is not leaving fast enough: 122,000 deaths from a disease that can be prevented with a vaccine that costs less than $1 per dose is our continued moral failing. We can do better. And we must.
For now, though, we should applaud the progress we're making.

Ban Ki Moon is in Sochi for the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Today, he addressed the International Olympic Committee, which was the first time for a UN Secretary General. Just four minutes into a thirty minute keynote, the UN chief dropped his first reference to LGBT equality. Then came this:
Sports can help advance human rights.
Last year, the United Nations marked the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination by focusing on the power of sport. We are all aware of the need to combat ugly and hurtful racist displays at sporting matches.
And this past December, the theme of Human Rights Day was "Sport comes out against homophobia."
Many professional athletes, gay and straight, are speaking out against prejudice.
We must all raise our voices against attacks on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or intersex people. We must oppose the arrests, imprisonments and discriminatory restrictions they face.
I know that Principle 6 of the Olympic Charter enshrines the IOC's opposition to any form of discrimination. The United Nations stands strongly behind our own "Free and Equal" campaign, and I look forward to working with the IOC, Governments and other partners around the world to build societies of equality and tolerance.
So there you have it. Ban Ki Moon traveled to the belly of the beast and in a speech about sports and peace, and inserted powerful references to LGBT equality. Why did he take a stand?
As I wrote earlier in the week, LGBT equality has been one of Ban Ki Moon's signature issues at the United Nations. Prior to his tenure, the only branches of the UN you saw consistently advocating for LGBT equality were those dealing with HIV/AIDS. But it was under the leadership of Ban Ki Moon that addressing LGBT discrimination shifted from a priority for health advocates to a mainstream issue throughout the entire United Nations.
Ban Ki Moon regularly speaks out on LGBT issues. The UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights has compiled a list of no fewer than 25 speeches and statements on the issue since the 2010 launch of the UN's "Free and Equal" campaign to end discrimination based on sexual preference and gender identity.
For this advocacy, he has earned the respect and praise of mainstream LGBT rights organizations. One of them, All Out, created this video remix of Ban Ki Moon's address to the UN Human Rights Council in March 2012, which was the first time that UN member states discussed LGBT issues in a formal setting under UN auspices. Some member states from conservative countries staged a walkout prior to his remarks. But as All Out says, Ban Ki Moon had the last word.
Ban's remarks in Sochi did not directly blast Vladimir Putin for Russia's abominable human rights record. That's just not his style. (He's a diplomat, after all.) But the fact that such a powerful advocate for LGBT rights raised this issue in such a prominent setting on the eve of the Olympics sends just the right message.

Syria Misses Chemical Weapons Deadline
The Security Council is meeting on Thursday to discuss this and hear directly from the weapons inspectors. "Syria has missed today's deadline for giving up another portion of its entire chemical weapons arsenal, raising alarm that President Bashar al-Assad will renege on the agreement that curbed a potential US military strike last summer. Syria delivered the most dangerous components – sarin, mustard, and VX gases – in early January, about a week after the deadline. It was supposed to hand over the "less dangerous" components today."

CAR: Soldiers Participate in Brutal Lynching
A ceremony meant to highlight the professionalism of the CAR military ended with the lynching of a suspected Muslim."The Central African Republic's interim president, Catherine Samba-Panza, addressed 4,000 soldiers at a ceremony to launch a renewed national army Wednesday, an event meant to symbolize the military's role as a professional force that protects all civilians. She told the soldiers gathered in Bangui, the capital, that she was proud of the armed forces, calling on them to report for duty and to support her actions. But moments after the president and dignitaries left, violence exploded. Witnesses said a group of soldiers accused a man of belonging to a mainly Muslim group, the former Seleka rebels, who took over the country last year. What happened next was swift and brutal. The soldiers seized the man and repeatedly stabbed him." (LAT http://lat.ms/1cVYHK4)
Ed note. This op-ed by, World Bank Special Envoy Mahmoud Mohieldin, originally appeared in Project Syndicate and is reprinted with permission.
WASHINGTON, DC – When the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expire next year, the world will be able to count many achievements. The number of people lacking access to safe drinking water has been halved, improving the lives of over 100 million slum dwellers; gender equality in education has been strengthened; and health care has become more accessible for millions of people. But there is still much to be done; many countries are lagging behind, and there is a great deal of discrepancy within countries.
The post-2015 development agenda promises to take on the MDGs' unfinished business, while adding objectives related to inclusion, sustainability, employment, growth, governance, and cooperation. Success will depend on world leaders' ability to apply past experience not only to developing effective policies and programs, but also to finding innovative ways to finance them.
A recent World Bank Group (WBG) report – Financing for Development Post-2015 – identifies three major considerations that should inform the next development agenda. First, most of the world's poor now live in middle-income countries, and many live in high-income countries. Second, the focus of debate about development financing has broadened from the quantity of aid to its quality – including its power to leverage other sources of finance. Finally, emerging economies have become important engines of global economic growth, with increasingly close ties to developing countries.
In this changing economic landscape, financing a transformative development agenda will require an unprecedented level of cooperation among governments, donors, and the private sector, as well as policies and institutions that facilitate more efficient use of existing resources and attract new and diverse sources of funding. The WBG report points to four foundational pillars of development financing: domestic resource mobilization; better and smarter aid; domestic private finance; and external private finance.
Domestic resources constitute the largest pool of funds available to developing countries, which mobilized $7.7 trillion in 2012, largely through taxes, duties, and natural-resource concessions. But, while developing-country revenues have grown 14% annually since 2000, average tax revenues in the poorest countries stand at only 10-14% of GDP, compared to 16-20% in middle-income countries and 20-30% in high-income countries.
Improved domestic resource mobilization and management – for example, through better tax administration, greater capacity to negotiate and manage natural-resource contracts, and stronger mechanisms for limiting capital flight and illicit financial flows – would improve the situation considerably. Subsidy reform also offers significant scope for revenue gains. In 2010, only 8% of some $400 billion in fossil-fuel subsidies reached the poorest 20% of the population.
But this does not relieve major economies of their responsibility to support development. On the contrary, better and smarter aid is critical to financing the post-2015 development agenda.
While developing countries' resources dwarf official development assistance (ODA), which amounted to $128 billion in 2012, they constitute upward of 40% of government budgets in fragile and conflict-affected states. As a result, over the last few decades, ODA has played a central role in lifting people from extreme poverty, financing investments in human and physical infrastructure, and smoothing the path of economic reform.
But fiscal pressures in many of the wealthiest countries have resulted in a 6% decline in ODA since 2010 (in real terms), despite the emergence of new government donors and large private foundations. In this context, world leaders must identify mechanisms for improving ODA's effectiveness. For example, they can channel aid toward sectors like health care and education, where private finance is unlikely to materialize, while using ODA to attract more private-sector financing, such as through public-private partnerships or mitigation of investment risk.
This brings us to the third crucial source of development funding: domestic private finance. Building a robust private sector capable of fostering inclusive growth, creating jobs, and broadening the domestic revenue base demands improved access to finance for micro, small, and medium-size enterprises. Financial inclusion, supported by a strong regulatory framework, encourages responsible lending and promotes innovation. It is up to governments to create an environment that enables businesses to take root, compete, and grow. In exchange, firms must go beyond minimum corporate social-responsibility standards to help advance human well-being and environmental sustainability.
The final piece of the development-financing puzzle is external private funding, delivered via foreign direct investment, international bank loans, bond and equity markets, and private remittances. Although global savings amount to $17 trillion and liquidity is at an all-time high, a relatively small share of these resources is being channeled toward investments that support development objectives, such as closing the massive infrastructure gap.
Higher-quality projects and innovations aimed at mitigating risk can clear the way for private-sector participation, while well-designed public-private partnerships and developed domestic capital markets can help "crowd in" investors in critical areas. Local-currency bond markets, vertical funds for global public goods, carbon markets, and new mechanisms to attract institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds would also help. Finally, with remittances exceeding $400 billion annually, there is scope to develop financial instruments that would facilitate diaspora communities' investment in development projects.
This approach to development financing is not entirely new. In 2002, the United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development produced the Monterrey Consensus, which emphasized the importance of domestic resource mobilization, aid, investment, trade, institutions, and policy coherence in financing development.
As a recent UN resolution points out, what is needed now is a follow-up conference, where world leaders examine the lessons learned since 2002 to determine how to advance the post-2015 development goals in the context of a changing global economic landscape. A "Monterrey II" meeting would help countries obtain a clearer and more realistic picture of the financing sources available, enabling them to prioritize the needed investments – and thus contribute to the successful launch of the post-2015 development agenda.

The Daylight Saving change: no savings, no point
The US government's plan to boost energy savings by moving Daylight Saving Time forward by three weeks was apparently a waste of time and effort, as the technological foibles Americans experienced failed to give way to any measurable energy savings.
While the change caused no major infrastructure problems in the country, plenty of electronics and computer systems that were designed with the original DST switchover date (first Sunday in April) failed to update. The inconvenience was minor, and the potential savings were great. Or so we were told by the politicians behind the move.
As it turns out, the US Department of Energy (and almost everyone else except members of Congress) was correct when they predicted that there would be little energy savings.
This echoed concerns voiced after a similar experiment was attempted in Australia. Critics pointed out a basic fact: the gains in the morning will be offset by the losses at night, and vice-versa, at both ends of the switch. That appears to be exactly what happened.

Friday, November 30, 2012 —
The high school wrestling teams of South and West Stanly competed in a 17-team field at the Monroe Redhawk Invitational wrestling event held this past Friday and Saturday.
Also this week, the South Stanly squad hosted Union Academy and
Monroe Redhawk Invitational
West Stanly
The Colts posted a third-place finish as a team overall with 156 points, finishing just a half-point behind Buford (S.C.) for second place and 10 points behind first place South Point (S.C.).
Tyler Balmas gave West Stanly a gold medal in the event. Wrestling in his first tournament, he took first place in the 160-pound weight class in his first varsity wrestling event. Balams pinned Buford's Kyle Norcia in the semifinals and pinned Forest Hills' Fale Mapuletuli in the finals.
Wesley Gordon took a silver medal for his second-place finish at 152 pounds, pinning South Stanly's Josh Lewellen in the semis but suffering a pinfall loss in the finals to Hickory Ridge's Ethan Jones.
Pavin Chunn gave his West Stanly team another second-place finish from the event in the 113-pound class. Chunn earned a 13-6 decision win over Ronnie Watts in the semifinals, then was pinned in the finals by South Points's Marvin Gallette.
Also medalling for West Stanly was Jonathan Surratt, who took third place in the 126-pound class, while Jordan Blake added a third-place finish at 138 pounds.
Nathan Marlow (120 lbs.) and John Lord (145 lbs.) also medaled, finishing in fourth place.
South Stanly
South Stanly finished in 11th place out of the 17 teams at the event and had three wrestlers to medal, led by Cody Shields' efforts at 106 pounds.
Shields finished in second place for the Bulls, pinning Richmond Senior's Trinity Hunt and Anson County's Oscer Moses in the first two rounds. Shields then lost a close 6-4 decision in the finals to Cox Mill's Keaton Dawkins, ending up with a silver medal.
Brandon Lowery also took a medal for South Stanly with a third-place finish in the 220-pound weight class. Lowery pinned his first opponent, Cox Mill's Joshua Blucher in 1:28 and lost his semifinal matchup with Richmond Seniors' Dieon Davis in an 8-1 decision. Lowery then bounced back in the consolation bracket with pinfal win over Hickory Ridge's Nick Russo (3:38) and Anson's Cedarious Barrett (:43).
The other medalist for South Stanly was Sawyer Bartlett in the 182-pound division where Bartlett won fourth-place. Bartlett pinned his first opponent, Cox Mill's Andrew Watt, in 1:37, then suffered a loss in the championship bracket to Forest Hill's Malik Clyburn by pinfall in 3:25. Earning a forfeit win in the next round, Bartlett lost in the third-place match to Kenneth Hester of Richmond Senior by decision 13-5.
South Stanly tops Union Academy, North Moore
The Bulls hosted the Cardinals and the Mustangs on Tuesday night for a tri-meet.
South Stanly claimed team wins over Union Academy (66-18) and North Moore (53-30).
The Bulls got forfeit wins over the Cardinals from Cody Shields (106), Nicholas Carpenter (126), Josh Lewellen (152), Jason Smith (160), Michael Furr (170) and Sawyer Bartlett.
South Stanly got pinfall wins at 113 pounds and 132 pounds. Christian Honeycutt pinned Krizan Kaylee in 0:35 at 113 pounds, while Jordan Carpenter earned a pinfall win for the Bulls over Nicholas Vlach.
Union Academy posted three pinfall wins in the match. Cardinal Jordan Rushing pinned South's Patrick Cruz at 120 pounds in a time of 1:36, while Peter Mantione won for the Cards at 138 pounds with a pinfall win in 2:37 over Jeff Helms. Robert Rushing posted the other win for Union Academy, pinning Camden Diggs at 145 pounds in a time of 1:43.
Against North Moore, the two squads only had one forfeit in the match as South's Brandon Lowery earned that forfeit win at 220 pounds.
South's Christian Honeycutt pinned Chris Renzi in 0:55, while Cruz earned a win for south by pinning chase Richardson in 0:44.
Nicholas and Jordan Carpenter both pinned their opponents at 126 and 132 pounds, respectively, with both pinning their opponents in under two minutes.
Lewellen pinned North Moore's Cole Garner at 152 pounds in a time of 1:49, while Michael Furr pinned Erick Benitez in 1:57.

Panchayat polls: SC issues notice to centre, West Bengal
New Delhi: The Supreme Court on Wednesday issued notice to the central and West Bengal governments on West Bengal State Election Commission's (SEC) petition for adequate security for holding Panchayat Elections in the state.
The apex court bench headed by Justice AK Patnaik issued the notice after SEC counsel Meenakshi Arora told the court that the state government was dragging its feet in providing the security forces though directed by the Calcutta High Court by its May 14, 2013, order.
Directing that the matter be listed on June 28, the apex court said the central and West Bengal governments would appraise it as to how they propose to meet the deployment of the security forces mentioned by the May 14 order of the High Court.
The notice has also been issued to the chief secretary of West Bengal and the secretary of the state's Ministry of Panchayat Raj.

SALT LAKE CITY - Republican Congressman Chris Stewart said he believes the way to solve most issues is to leave them to the state, and not the federal government.
In a morning appearance Tuesday to the Legislature, Stewart says he believes in federalism and the principles outlined in the 10th amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
"I believe we have enormous challenges and problems ahead of us. Most of believe those are best addressed by the state," Stewart said. "If in any way we can remove power from my job to your job, that is a good thing," the first-term congressman said.
Stewart said there have been three meaningful events in the past year, which he hopes are a harbinger of better things to come. He said the government shutdown and the rollout of the Affordable Care Act led to the third event, which was passage last year of a budget that raised the national debt ceiling.
While he praised the importance of having a budget in place, Stewart said Congress agreed to raise the debt ceiling, without getting anything in return.
"We gave up something for nothing. Many of us want to use that as a tool," Stewart said.
Asked about the future of the ACA, Stewart said it is a work in progress and flawed. He said House Republicans have offered alternatives, though he said they haven't gotten much publicity.
"It isn't enough to say the Affordable Care Act has been a failure and will hurt. We have to have something else. There are alternatives," he said.
Stewart also addressed immigration briefly. He told members of the House he supports reform, but doesn't think it will happen this session because of a distrust between the legislative and executive branch.
He also defended his no vote on the violence of women act, saying the issue is best addressed at the state level.
During his appearance in the Senate, Stewart took a poke at several environmental issues. He joked about global warming and said colder temperatures in the nation's capitol have left him wondering if he was going to freeze to death.
Asked to address air quality along the Wasatch Front from his potential political opponent, Sen. Luz Robles, D-Salt Lake City, Stewart said some issues are beyond the ability of anyone to fix.
"The reality is you have an enormous challenge before you. If you want to fix air quality in the Salt Lake Valley, tear down these mountains, convince the jet stream to go elsewhere. Does it mean I think we should throw our hands up and say there is nothing we can do, of course not. Once again I feel it is best addressed at the state, not the federal level," Stewart said.

The Forever Dream: Chapter One"This is ridiculous." 17 year old Aurora slammed the book down on the kitchen table. "Sleeping Beauty... much less than a garbage collector." A mother, eyes red with sleep leaned on the side of a column in the castle. "I may be a princess, but I would never do all this falling in love junk. I followed the story until now. I'm fed up." The mother walked slowly towards her daughter in an effort to calm her down. "Mom, just listen, I've already done enough, you know... actually becoming a princess, going into the forest and training animals, but now I need to sleep peacefully and wait for a stranger to kiss me?! Not gonna happen." Aurora stood reluctantly, an anger in her eyes, but also a fear.More Like This
The queen, suddenly given up, collapsed on the girl's bed, and sat miserably. Aurora sighed, "I need to go to the forest."
Grabbing a black cape and long brown boots, she slowly dressed herself in preparation of hunting. A long four yard bow and sash was taken off the hook near her beds

ESPN: SportsNation |
Good morning, gang! We're back yet again for another 60 minutes of fantasy chattage! Second cup of coffee in hand... who is going to lead off today?
What should my strategy be for a points league? I drafted a lot of power hitters last year and it seemed to work.
Plenty of strategies to be had... for me, I like to load up on closers and use just one anchor SP. A volume of appearances trumps all.
AJ, Keep Adrian Beltre or Tulo? 5x5 H2H league?
I'd keep Beltre. Not a slam dunk call, but I'd be happier with a lesser SS than with a lesser 3B here.
Re: your points league strategy, would you do that in a year long points (most overall points wins) or just H2H?
Year-long points is different. In that case, IP are more important than weekly chances at wins/saves. SP tend to get more points than other positions and having aces are more essential.
Dynasty league keeper - David Murphy or Dexter Fowler? 5x5 H2H
Dexter for me.
Votto seems undervalued this year to me. He was maybe the best hitter in baseball before getting hurt and everyone loves to bring up that he has only hit over 30 HR's once, but he hit 25 in 2009 and 29 in 2011. Is he a worthy top 5 pick in a keeper draft?
There's a fear that there's going to be less power due to a residual effect from last year's injury. We are looking at someone who *could* be No. 2 1B this season, so no reason to not take him if you believe he is fine. I'm going to need to watch some more ABs this spring before signing on.
Keeper Q: Miggy for one year plus Cano for 4 more, or Miggy for 4 more, no Cano
I'll win today and take them both.
Bruce or Kinsler in a keeper?
Personally, I prefer Bruce. I think it's more important to have a well-stocked OF than anywhere else given the current talent distribution.
Which Halos closer would you take this year? Frieri? Madson?
I'd take Frieri. Even if Madson returns and gets job back, which is not a given, Frieri gets me stats out of the gate.
To followup that Votto question, considering he was the best first baseman in fantasy before getting hurt last season, *couldn't* he be the No. 1 player at his position if fully healthy this year?
Sure he could. It's a tossup between him, Albert and Prince really. But the fact he didn't have any power for an entire month after he got back... that's hard to completely remove from the equation.
Better kpr going fwd: Machado or Taveras?
As of today, I'd lean Machado. Whenever we're dealing with unknowns, though, it's hard to truly know for sure.
I have the 11th pick. Who would you choose from the following if available: Fielder, Tulo, Stanton
Doubtful you'll find them all there, but given the hypothetical, I'm finding it real hard to pass on Stanton.
AJ, in a first year keeper league auction, $300 budget, how high do you go on the likes of Trout and Harper?
I always resist the urge to put hard $$$ values on an auction draft, because every league is a bit different. That said, I would certainly place a higher value on Trout than any other player by a large margin.
KEEPER question... in our fake game of baseball who cares about defense right? so is it fair to say BOEGARTS > PROFAR as a SS keeper?
I think you need to care about defense in the sense that if a player commits 25 errors and gets removed from a starting job as a result, then it absolutely matters. Right now, though, I still rank Profar higher than Xander.
What do you mean by the current talent distribution where you want a well-stocked outfield?
I see more of the best producers coming from outfield, even if you take into account the fact there are three times as many full-time starters. In a ten team league, if you wait on OF, you may fall too far behind several owners, as opposed to only one or two if you delay at 2B, SS or C, for example.
Moustakas or Middlebrooks in '13 and beyond?
I go with Moustakas, and that was before Middlebrooks's injury. Yes, there doesn't appear to be anything too serious there, but it certainly doesn't make me want to elevate him any higher.
Hey AJ, What are your thoughts/outlook on Aroldis Chapman's potential move to the rotation from the bullpen? What can we expect from him for the 2013 season? Thanks!
I think we don't and won't know, because the Reds are just as likely to stick to their guns with him in the rotation as they are to decide to throw him back to closer role. My guess is that he ends up with more saves than starts by season's end, but it's just a guess.
Last keeper, Andre Ethier or Nelson Cruz?
Ethier over Cruz, though it's not by a huge margin.
Have Zobrist, 2B/SS eligible. Would you rather start Zob at 2nd? SS? and draft the open position?
The flexibility is what makes Zobrist all the more valuable. I would absolutely NOT lock him in to either spot, and draft the best MI available when it makes sense to do so... no need to limit yourself to one or the other before you have to.
AJ, given your answer to the Trout/Harper $$ question, would you recommend throwing another player on the block first to gauge the league's player valuation?
Absolutely. I rarely nominate players I really, really want in the first portions of an auction. I'd rather throw out "guys I wouldn't mind getting stuck with for $1, but hope they end up getting taken for much more by someone else" and always having the most $ at my disposal for as long as possible.
Everyone is returning in my league, my commish wants to make it a keeper league and start it this draft. As much as i would love that (I would b keeping Trout, McCluster, Cano) i told him the right thing to do is to call it out as a keeper league this year but you cant keep anyone til next year. Am I right? (i hope i'm wrong)
When you're changing the rules in such a big way, you need to have everybody going in with them already in place. In that sense, you are 100 percent right. However, if the league is unanimous with wanting to go ahead with the change immediately, there's no reason not to do so.
It's tough to do these mocks bc some people are drafting with Roto in mind and some with H2H.......Anyway the mocks can be differentiated in the future?
We do several mocks over the course of the spring. Some will be points, some will be H2H. We always spell it out up front.
can you give me some of your sleepers for SPs? thanks
Miley, Milone, Harrison, Cahill... just a few that come to mind.
Hard to imagine me as a top 10 pitcher this year? Top 5? That second half was killer...
I'd be willing to go top 15, no higher.
H2h dynasty keeper PTs lg. Struggling with Halladay or M. Moore. Appreciate your opinion thanks.
I think you go Moore and it's probably not even close.
Expectations for Todd Frazier--improvement, regression or repeat?
Remember, when it comes to fantasy it's not about where a player ends up in relation to his past seasons. It only matters where he ends up for this coming season in relation to the others at his position and overall. I have him just outside my personal top 20 at 3rd in roto, slightly higher in points.
Better chance of winning AL Cy Young this year: Darvish or Scherzer?
I'd say Yu, but mostly because it's an opinion-based vote. If Rangers win sans Hamilton, Darvish's impact probably seen as being more valuable, given similar stats to Max.
12 team roto keeper league with ops instead of avg. We can keep guys forever in the same round. Would you keep Butler in the 9th or Craig in the 16th?
I'm very high on Butler, so I'd be keeping him in most formats, regardless of round.
Kipinis (16th) > Pujols (1st) right?
In terms of pure value per draft spot, no doubt.
In a 10 team league, you fine waiting until the bitter end to snag a catcher?
Where I've seen Napoli, Lucroy and McCann going - and by that I mean far later in drafts - absolutely will wait on catcher.
In the mocks you always appear to stick to your own ranks as compared to default ESPN rankings more than any other expert. Is this personal strategy to get the players you want? I do my own ranks but I try to blend in default ranks with mine in case I'm horribly wrong.
Go big or go home. If you believe in your research, it shouldn't matter. Now, if you know everyone else is going to stick to those rankings, then you might be able to wait a bit longer on certain players that you predict won't be taken... but in our mocks, I'd rather let readers know my stand on players.
Keeper ? = H2H Mixed League-- Need 2 of 5 & my options are: Sal Perez (at 24th Rd value), Morrow (13th Rd value), Reyes (2nd), RZimmerman (3rd), OR Nathan (17thRd)?
I'd keep Reyes and Zimm.
Need to decide between Adam Jones (6th round) and Bumgarner (8) for my final keeper. Already keeping Trout and Strasberg. Thanks!
Got to go Jones with that, but it does kill me to pass up on MadBum.
When drafting first or last in a snake draft, do you use the 'best player available' philosophy or do you tend to reach a bit for a position or roto category knowing there are a lot of picks before you get to select again?
I think I'm more willing to reach for a guy I want because odds are after 18 picks, guys who are in my queue now will likely vanish. I'd say if there's a tier that looks like it's drying up at a position, I'm making sure I take my pick from there first.
I will become a top 5 1b this year and go .285 27 105 21. Agree?
Not outside the realm of possibility.
You high on Carlos Gomez this season? Nice second half last year.
Potential to be a decent No. 4 OF if all goes right. No higher.
What do you expect from Hunter Pence this season?
Top 25 OF.
That's the final whistle, gang. If I didn't get to you, there's always twitter (@ajmass). I'm off next week, but will be back in two weeks time to chat again. Until then, as always, good luck and may the odds be EVER in your favor.

Initial reports said 68 people were injured but Turkish television put the number at 117.
City Gov. Muammer Guler said there were no immediate indications the blast was linked to a terror attack, the Hurriyet news agency said.
"It's certain that the explosion was related to a sparkler, torch or fireworks," Guler said.
Four of the injured were in critical condition, he said.
Witnesses told CNN Turk television the explosion happened on the third floor around 9:30 a.m. Thursday. That blast apparently triggered a fire and second explosion.

We are committed to this effort and have employed a number of tactics to aid our public in protecting themselves from the common injuries that occur in everyday life and on the athletic field.
We host a number of community education initiatives and have affiliated with international partners such as AOSSM, USA Football and Safe Kids, to name a few, in order to provide targeted information to various populations. We take this effort very seriously and are continually looking for ways to share this information.
Our founder, Dr. James Andrews, served as the 38th president for the American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine and his platform was to STOP Sports Injuries. We are excited to be part of this ongoing effort and will share updates about new findings and materials for this educational campaign.

Hi: ° Lo:° 7 day
FESTIVE students and staff at Stratford School mixed things up at their Christmas Concert this year.
The audience was treated to innovative interpretations of Christmas classics including an acapella version of Let it Snow by Sophie Dobedoe and a punk rock version of Jingle Bells by the Ukulele group.
Even the staff performed some of their own songs with the harmony of Yvette Browne and Nigel Sewell lifting everyone's spirits with Watching Feathers Fall from Angels written by Mr Sewell himself.
One of the highlights of the evening were the four winsome Year 11 ballerinas who danced on point to Walking in the Air, while Frankie Appleyard, Laura Bird, Chloe Hadded and Lydia Hadded were a resounding hit, before the evening was rounded off by Reiss Hemming, Keiran Marklew and Callum Marshall with their reworking of Guns 'n' Roses classic Paradise City, which they re-titled Christmas City.
The evening was compared by Angus Gavan McHarg and Dan Paton, both year 11 students, who kept the audience amused and informed, together with a number of terrible jokes in true 'Christmas Cracker' style.
Deputy Head Karen Berwick said: "It was a wonderful evening that really got us all in the Christmas Spirit. The students had all worked so hard and obviously really enjoyed the evening themselves and for me that is what Christmas is all about."

"I don't see any scenario where both cities are happy" Stern says of Seattle/Sacramento issue
Feb 16, 2013, 8:47 PM EDT
When this is all over and the Kings have new owners and plans for an arena, fans in Seattle or Sacramento will be heartborken.
"I don't see any scenario where both cities are happy," NBA Commissioner David Stern said.
That pretty much kills the expansion hopes, which some fans saw as a win-win scenario in the struggle for the Kings.
Otherwise Stern and Commissioner-in-waiting Adam Silver largely stayed neutral on the issue at their annual All-Star press conference. That despite facing a barrage of questions about the efforts of a Seattle group to purchase the Kings and move the team to the Pacific Northwest — and the effort of Sacramento officials to put together a counter offer.
Stern's basic lines were that the Seattle group has put together what appears to be a strong offer that is being reviewed by ownership committees. He said they would certainly look at and study an offer being put together by Sacramento mayor Kevin Johnson by March 1. But he was able to dodge the hard questions by saying he's not an owner and he doesn't have a vote on the ultimate decision.
"As I've said before, there's a very strong ownership group (from Seattle) that has come together, and there's a plan for a $600 million or so, maybe it's only 590, building that I haven't studied any plans of, but it seems to be in the normal course a standard application that's quite strong," Stern said….
"It's going to wait upon Mayor Johnson making good on his statement that there will be an offer. And it's going to, I think, be upon, in the Sacramento area, a number of the regional municipalities and the various people who have been saying they'll give the mayor the support that he needs. And we'll see."
Stern said he has not met with Johnson but that the owners but said it is possible that offer could sway owners.
"Oh, certainly it's plausible to me, but I don't have a vote," Stern said. "But I expect that the owners have a very open mind on this."
So why no expansion? Money. Why do you think?
"There's a large group of owners who believe that expansion is an economic matter, is a neutral thing," Stern said. "At least the way we've done it to date, you get a lot of money in and in return for that you cut the new team in for a large and growing source of revenue from national TV, national licensing, and all things international and digital. And then it doesn't really seem to make that much additional sense as the increased revenue that demands to the gross BRI and increased each player costs and the like."
But Stern said he didn't think in the end this would be a financial decision.
"And I don't believe it's going to come down to economics because it's not about, okay, 'I say 525. All right. I say 526,' Stern said. "To me that would be economics. I think the owners are going to have a tough issue to decide. But I don't want to get to it because we don't have the predicate for that tough decision yet….
"And then the owners are going to have to deal with it. This is a good time to be a commissioner and not an owner."
But when a Seattle reporter tried to suggest that the way the Sonics left last time would impact this time, Stern shot him down fast.
"This is being done by the book," Stern said. "But I seem to remember, and you can correct me if I'm wrong, that there was a $300 million plus subsidy for the Mariners, and a $300 million plus subsidy for the Seahawks, and there was a legislation which precluded that for the Sonics, and Speaker Chopp said that we should take the money from our players."
What Sacramento has now that Seattle didn't then was a mayor fully committed to getting a deal in place.
The question is will that be enough? Stern and Silver dodged that question like press conference veterans.

Trin's Reviews > St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves
St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves
by Karen Russell (Goodreads Author)
by Karen Russell (Goodreads Author)
Confession time: I think Kelly Link's and Aimee Bender's short stories are only okay. Occasionally one of their tales will astound me, but mostly I'm a bit "meh" on them—especially compared to how much many readers I respect love them. (Personally, I prefer Stacey Richter.) So when I say that Karen Russell's short stories read like Link or Bender rejects, I hope you can see how faint an endorsement that is coming from me. Most of the stories in this collection feature young first person narrators, and almost all end abruptly, without any real resolution, which I find very frustrating. What's the point? Some of Russell's imagery is nice—especially in "Haunting Olivia" and "The City of Shells"—but the collections quickly begins to feel samey and unfulfilling. I'd recommend reading one of Richter's collections—or even one of Link's or Bender's—instead.

Not a comment on this book, but I wanted to say I really enjoy reading your thoughts on these books. Interesting and thought-provoking, even if it means I won't read these. Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!
Trin, I'm with you on Bender and Link, but for me Russell's book was like what I *want* Bender and Link to be. Genuinely idiosyncratic and beautifully written, instead of Bender's labored quirks or Link's plain-jain prose. I'm shocked to hear you call these "rejects" since to my mind Russell's stories are far more accomplished, formally at least, than Bender's or Link's.

Second bananas in pyjamas
PUBLISHED: 12 Mar 2011 00:03:48 | UPDATED: 12 Mar 2011 00:03:48PUBLISHED: 12 Mar 2011 PRINT EDITION: 12 Mar 2011Autumn is a time for russet colours, celebrating harvest and dressing up in funny costumes. Brisbane papers have been heralding a local vigilante who has been patrolling the streets to fight crime calling himself Captain Australia.
Our hero's outfit features green, white and gold, though the funds didn't run to spandex. It looks more like flannel pyjamas. Nothing wrong with that. It helps disguise his tubbiness.
His identity is secret, but the smart money is that he is an aspiring politician. A key sign is that, by good fortune, he always has a cameraman handy to record his exploits. Even more telling is that he's looking for a deputy – because in politics this is the year of the sidekick.
Ideally all political leaders would be required to wear a superhero outfit to remind us of their super powers (it certainly works for APEC).
But not everyone is up to the uniform.
Julie Bishop is the accredited Liberal sidekick who gets to wear the colourful duds behind leader Tony Abbott, but there is no shortage of aspirants to don the leadership flannel. Alexander Downer is the obvious choice when it comes to lycra and fishnet stockings, though in his absence the baton falls to that nice Christopher Pyne.
While everything about Andrew Robb says flannel, Joe Hockey might require a superhero elastic waistband.
Robb wants to knock out Bishop for the deputy job, which means he could demand to be shadow treasurer, which is Joe's job, so he would then be forced to move against Abbott. Happy superhero families.
But are they street fighters? Hansard records Joe's best contribution to Parliament last week as "Mr Hockey interjecting – ".
Robb's careful question to Prime Minister Julia Gillard about the carbon tax was despatched over mid wicket: "I thank the – is it the Finance Minister? Whatever portfolio the member for Goldstein has today, I thank him for his question." And as for Bishop, "if I could just finish my answer without her catcalling, that would be very useful".
It was left to Abbott to return fire with some helpful comments that "I know members opposite have been described by one of their own number as lobotomised zombies, but even the zombies are noticing what has gone on".
On the other side, Wayne Swan is Gillard's deputy and, without labouring a point, he does come from Brisbane and would look a treat in flannel jim-jams. The traditional role of a Labor deputy is to knife the leader in the back and there's a queue to be a disloyal sidekick, starting with Greg Combet and Bill Shorten. Chris Bowen and Stephen Smith are also mentioned as possibles.
But their boss has outdone them all in Washington this week, praising the Ronald Reagan years in the course of graciously anointing herself as Barack Obama and the US government's bestest, truest, loyalest sidekick.
Then it was on to lunch with Rupert Murdoch. Even sidekicks have their limits. Had she bought him a present for his 80th birthday? "I've had a few things to do, I'm sure I will be forgiven for that. Thank you."
