CityCenterDC a 'piece of the puzzle' downtown
Retail-residential-office development to occupy old convention center site
Standing on the edge of the long-awaited CityCenterDC real estate project, D.C. Council member Jack Evans joked that he had met with George Washington and Pierre L'Enfant to "talk to them about how to get this done."
An investor from the oil-rich nation of Qatar stepped in to fund the project over "skittish" American lenders two years ago to redevelop the empty lot that was once the site of the old Washington Convention Center.
So it's no wonder why Mayor Vincent C. Gray and other city officials were eager to grab the golden shovels Monday, breaking ground on the $700 million project intended to bring retail, apartments and office space that represents what the mayor called the "last big piece of the puzzle for downtown Washington."
Mr. Gray was joined by a diverse group of city officials, ambassadors and Middle Eastern investors inside a greenhouse-like shelter that housed a swanky ceremony with iced drinks, a jazz ensemble and a rousing drumline from Eastern High School in Northeast.
City officials said the Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company, tied to the sovereign wealth fund of the tiny Arab nation, supplied a sizable portion of the equity needed to fund construction on the 4.5-block parcel bounded by New York Avenue and 9th, H and 11th streets, NW.
Qatar's Barwa Bank put the funding in place. Its vice chairman and manager director, Mohammed Al Saad, said the investors were looking to enter the U.S. market and "zoomed in" on the District as a good place to start.
Qatari Diar CEO Mohammed Al Hedfa said his company is respectful of local traditions and history and considers the D.C. project as one of the most important in its $60 billion portfolio.
Real estate investment group Hines and Archstone took the lead on the project. They found the Qatari investigators because American lenders were especially reluctant to release funds two years ago, Hines and Archstone CEO Scot Sellers said.
"We were looking globally for capital," he said.
The site has been mostly vacant since the former Washington Convention Center was demolished in 2004. The 10-acre lot has served as a downtown parking area, and each year since 2008 has been home of a temporary stadium hosting the Washington Kastles of the World TeamTennis Pro League.
City officials described the project as a way to tie the downtown area together through shops, restaurants and pedestrian-friendly space in the vein of nearby Gallery Place.
After about a decade of planning, Mr. Gray said construction workers actually broke ground about 10 days ago on the project.
"I can understand the zeal to start moving the dirt," he said.
Mr. Gray has touted the project in his recent public comments, saying it is "believed to be the largest downtown development currently under way in any U.S. city."
In his State of the District address last week, he said the project will create 1,700 construction jobs and 3,700 permanent jobs. He also estimated $29.8 million in annual tax revenue, $112 million in retail annual sales and $9.4 million in retail tax revenue.
Mr. Evans said the project will generate money for the District as a living, breathing downtown in lieu of a "crystal city" of office space.
"What do we need? We need tax dollars," Mr. Evans told the audience. "We are collecting tax dollars as of today."
His comments come days after he criticized the mayor's fiscal year 2012 budget plan, which includes new taxes or tax increases on the wealthy, on parking garages, on live theater tickets and on products like alcohol and cigarettes.
"At times we're business-friendly," Mr. Evans said in an interview, "and at times we're not."

The late Howard Jarvis would have loved yesterday's SF Chronicle
Chronicle Propagates Right-Wing Budget Myths
by Paul Hogarth' Aug. 03' 2009
While California�s poor, elderly and children suffer the consequences of the new state budget,
Arnold�s friends
at the
San Francisco Chronicle
are going for the kill. Yesterday�s front-page story about the state�s �long spending spree� was so biased and misleading that it could have been written by the right-wing Howard Jarvis Taxpayer�s Association. It�s no surprise that a state that grew by 7 million people from 1990 to 2008 would spend more money than it did 20 years ago, and even fluctuations in per capita spending don�t tell the whole story. The
did not mention state funding for the UC system has dropped 40% since 1990, California is now 47th in the nation in K-12 per-pupil spending and we are the only state kicking uninsured children off SCHIP rolls � and wait-listing thousands more. Rather than admit the state has a revenue problem, the
would rather make readers believe we have a spending problem � and that the rich pay too many taxes. For liberal San Francisco�s paper of record, that�s a colossal embarrassment.
Wyatt Buchanan�s
made it sound like our current budget crisis is a good thing � because state legislators who poured �increasing amounts of money into state services� have finally learned the party is over. State budget cuts are inevitable, is the conclusion, because of the phenomenal increase in state spending over the past twenty years. And to illustrate the point, the
produces a chart to show the increase in state spending.
Of course, it�s also true California went from 29.7 million people in 1990 to 37 million today � so how is it �news� that the state spends more money? The
pretends to address this glaring omission with a chart that tracks �per capita� spending � but such claims of a dramatic spending increase are weak. After a steady decline, the state hit a low of per capita spending in 1993 � followed by a slow and incremental rise until 2000. Per capita spending actually went
every year until 2003, when it rebounded in the Schwarzenegger Era to a high in 2007. In the past two years, the state has massively cut spending every year.
But even if the
proved an increase in per capita spending, �state spending� is not a very helpful statistic � because it says nothing about how the state spent its money.
reports that we have more welfare recipients than any other state, without mentioning that California has (a) the highest population in the country, (b) the highest cost of living, (c) one of the highest unemployment rates, and (d) probably the widest gap between rich and poor. Without offering any proof, the article then makes the dubious claim that our �generous social safety net� has lured poor people to come to California.
But let�s talk about the
reasons why people move to California. I came here 13 years ago from Illinois to attend UC Berkeley. Since 1990, despite the state�s �long spending spree� that the
objects to, state funding for the UC system
has declined
by 40%. Ever since I graduated in 2000, undergraduate student fees
have doubled
. Going to Boalt Law School is now as expensive as a private school.
The state has a
problem? How about the fact that California is
47th in the nation
in per-pupil funding for K-12 education, despite a constitutional mandate that we spend 40% of the General Fund on schools? In 2007 (the �high point� of state spending, according to the
), we were
34th in the nation
� after a steady decline in school funding over the past thirty years.
Try telling kids who don�t have health insurance that the state�s spending increased too much in the past 20 years. Schwarzenegger�s $144 million cut to Healthy Families
will mean
443,000 children enrolled in the program this year will get kicked off � and another 335,000 will be put on a waiting list. Healthy Families is the state program that implements the federal
in California, designed to extend health insurance for children of the working poor. Now, California is the only state to put SCHIP-eligible children on a waiting list � because we �can�t afford� to cover them.
So why
state spending rise in the past 20 years? Not, as the
implies, because liberal legislators were eager to throw money at social programs. If there�s any culprit, it is the
state prison population
� which grew by 500% from 1982 to 2000. Due to right-wing �law and order� policies that the voters passed (such as Three Strikes), the state has been obligated to spend a larger part of its budget on locking people up � which costs money.
California has a revenue problem � far more than it has a spending problem. Starting on his first day of office in 2003, Governor Schwarzenegger set off a chain of events that
drove the state to bankruptcy
. He slashed the state vehicle license fee that cost us $6 billion a year in lost revenue. With the Republican minority in the state legislature refusing to ever raise taxes at all, Arnold made the problem worse year after year � by borrowing money that compounded our debt. Whoever becomes the next Governor will inherit a colossal mess, a fiscal disaster that would not have happened if we still had the vehicle license fee.
When the
finally acknowledges a revenue problem near the end of the article, they say it�s because too much comes from �wealthy taxpayers.� A large portion of the state budget depends on income tax revenue, which fluctuates with the economy. When we are in a recession, the state gets less money � because people are making less money.
But it�s not like we�ve never had a recession. Under Republican Governors Pete Wilson and Ronald Reagan, income tax revenue took a hit during hard times � so we temporarily raised the income bracket for the wealthy. Schwarzenegger, however, refuses to do this.
We could also pass an oil severance tax � charging oil companies 10% of their profits for the privilege of drilling for oil in California. We are the third-largest oil producing state in the country, and yet the only one that does not have an oil severance tax. Texas has a 15% oil tax, and Alaska � under Governor Sarah Palin � raised theirs to 25%. But again, Governor Schwarzenegger opposes it � putting Arnold to the right of Sarah Palin on this.
Does the state depend
too much
on income tax revenue? Only because we don�t get enough money from property taxes. Proposition 13 froze property taxes to 1% of whatever the value was at time of purchase, with only a 2% increase each year. Prop 13
does not distinguish
between residential and commercial property, so the real beneficiaries are corporations that own office buildings. Unfortunately, we�re stuck with this system � until the voters amend Prop 13.
But if income taxes are too volatile because revenues fluctuate with the economy, what about the sales tax? Conservatives always argue that tax increases �hurt� the economy, and the only place where that�s true is if you raise the sales tax. Sales tax increases deter consumers from buying goods, and � moreover � hurt the poor more than anyone else. If we want a stable and reliable source of revenue, raising the sales tax would be a disaster.
When the
San Francisco Chronicle
regurgitates right-wing talking points in a front-page �news� story about state politics, it has the potential to do far more damage than if it were a local issue. Because in Sacramento, most legislators and opinion leaders presume that the �paper of record� of California�s most liberal city must be a progressive publication. So when the
starts acting more like the
Orange County Register
(or a Howard Jarvis Newsletter), it can inflict serious damage on state budget politics � which is wholly unacceptable.

Nissan recalls 16,838 trucks in North America for electrical issue
A staff stands near the logo of Nissan Motor at the company's showroom in Tokyo
DETROIT (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co is recalling 16,838 Frontier pickup trucks in North America to address an electrical issue that could cause a fire, according to documents filed with U.S. safety regulators.
The documents said a circuit breaker in mid-sized trucks from model years 2012 through 2014 may have been installed incorrectly at an assembly plant in Canton, Mississippi, potentially causing an electrical short and fire.
The power seat and sunroof functions might also be rendered inoperable, according to documents filed with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
A Nissan spokesman said there have been no reports of accidents or injuries related to the issue, but one report of smoke coming from under a dashboard on a truck in Mexico in December.
Of the affected vehicles, 13,535 are in the United States, 1,930 are in Mexico and 1,373 are in Canada, the spokesman said.
Dealers will inspect the circuit breaker wire harness and repair free of charge if needed. The recall is expected to begin in early March, according to the NHTSA documents.

Great deal!!
Posted Nov 16, 2013 on Hotels.comWe chose this hotel because it offered a great rate that included free breakfast, free wifi, and free parking (very rare). It's not in the heart of the city, but there's a subway station right outside, and the YellowBus (city tour bus) stops just a few blocks away (10 min. walk). The entire staff was very courteous and helpful; the breakfast buffet had a complete selection of hot and cold items; and, the rooms were nice, except for the half-door bathtub enclosure that allowed water to spray out and go all over the floor when taking a shower. Our only real complaint was that we couldn't find any nice restaurants for dinner within walking distance, so we ended up eating dinner at the hotel for our two nights there. Good food, but nothing special.

Nice Hotel
Posted Jul 7, 2013Location: Not prime to downtown but close to the airport (10 minute drive)
We stayed at this hotel for one night before our flight leaving Portugal. We did not go downtown from this hotel but it is not in the downtown core. The room was pretty small but fine for one night. It was very clean and comfortable with AC and a nice bathroom. Our first room smelt of smoke and we requested to move which they did so quickly. Overall we enjoyed our stay here. The restaurant is very good for both dinner and breakfast.

Posted Jun 22, 2013Pros: Nice hotel, staff very friendly and helpful. comfortable location Good wifi, for a modest fee
Cons: quite a few coach tours so getting a seat at breakfast could be a bit of a challenge if you want to eat at the same time- not a massive problem
Location: at athe conference centre - which is miles from most hotels. But door to door bus, and taxi rank outside. Not in the old town though
Went for a conference. Good accommodation at a reasonable price
for Everyoneby Michel from Montreal, QC, Canada
Great value for the price
Posted Apr 24, 2013Clean, quiet and the staff is helpfull. We had diner at the restaurant for a reasonable price and good quality. The metro station is only 10 meters from the front door. About 10 minutes 10 the airport.

3.5 stars from a business traveler
Posted Apr 3, 2013 on Hotels.comVery nice and clean hotel. A little bit far north for the action, but an easy cab ride to Bairro Alto AND the airport. Disappointed that the double bed was 2 twins pushed together with separate sheets.
for Couplesby Marta from England
Excellent hotel and lovely staff!!!
Posted Mar 20, 2013 on Hotels.comVery nice hotel. Really good location and excellent staff, always happy to help with everything and recommend places to go and restaurants to have lovely meals (they even book a table in a restaurant for us because we don't speak Portuguese). The parking is free and they didn't charge us any extra for keeping our car until 4pm on our day of departure! I would definately come back!
for Everyoneby Janet from Toronto, ON, Canada
Good hotel to stay.
Posted Dec 3, 2012Pros: Strategic location, and friendly staff.
Cons: None
Location: Close to airport, close to cruise ship port, next to Metro (underground trains)
I like this hotel. This was my second time stay with them. The have free internet, very cheap fee for WiFi access. The location suits me because it's close to airport and close to cruise sheep port - I can access to either location with less than 10 EUR by taxi. Although it is a distance away from the downtown, but the Metro is right next to it so one can go anywhere desired. Metro is not expensive either.
for Everyoneby A verified traveler from Salisbury, Wiltshire, UK
Variable cost from Airport
Posted Nov 2, 2012Good hotel just outside the city centre and close to the airport. It's right on top of a metro station (place de espana) so easy to get into the city and to the airport. A manic Corte Ingles store is one stop away. One word of warning about getting to/from the airport. We were ripped off on arrival late at night - get a taxi voucher from the airport if you can to avoid this. The hotel provides a fixed fare service to get back to the airport at €14 but in fact the meter rate is only about €8. We expected to get the Aerobus back to the airport at €3.50, as it also stops across the road from the hotel, but after waiting over an hour (supposed to run every 30 mins) we gave up. Otherwise I'd stay here again now that I understand the transportation better.

Cape Verde is visited mostly by Europeans and local shop keepers have found discovered that some people collect fridge magnets.

The best way to visit the several islands of Cape Verde is to go by plane. Unluckly the flights are often delayed or cancelled, so it's hard to organize a day trip to another island. You can go with the tours organized by the resorts, but they are a little expensive.

THE GOVERNMENT has displayed "contradictory tendencies" towards faith groups in recent years, a report published by Parliamentary campaign group Care says.

Description: Ricky Lau directs this fantastically successful horror yarn that successfully fused high-flying slapstick with creepy genre atmospherics. The film opens with Taoist priest Kau (Lam Ching-ying) along with his two hapless assistants, Chou (Chin Siu-ho) and Man Choi (Ricky Hui Koon-ying), set out to fix the Yam family's recent streak of bad fortune. The priest soon concludes that a vengeful feng shui master had tricked the family into burying its elder in a manner that was bound to reap bad luck. Yet before the problem could be corrected, grandpa comes bursting out of the ground and kills his son. When the son returns from the great beyond to reek havoc on the living, Kau eventually manages to put him to rest for good, though gramps continues to terrorize. Meanwhile, Chou has been seduced and bitten by a beautiful spirit and will turn into a vampire unless Kau comes to the rescue. This film not only launched four sequels, but the whole horror-comedy subgenre that exemplified Hong Kong cinema during the late '80s and early '90s.~ Jonathan Crow, All Movie Guide

Evan Meek Rumors
Cafardo's Latest: Arroyo, Carmona, Garza, Lilly
In this week's installment of his Baseball Notes feature, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe discusses the 2006 deal that sent Bronson Arroyo to Cincinnati for Wily Mo Pena. "I'm sure it's not one [trade] that Theo has on his mantle at home," Arroyo jokes, before going on to say that he'd love to stay with the Reds past this season. The team holds an $11MM 2011 option ($2MM buyout) for Arroyo. Here are Cafardo's other notes of interest:
- The Brewers and the Rangers, before they acquired Cliff Lee, were among the teams "sniffing around" Fausto Carmona.
- Cafardo wouldn't be shocked if the Rays were willing to discuss trading Matt Garza, with Jeremy Hellickson waiting in the wings (2.21 ERA in 105.2 Triple-A innings). In exchange for an impact bat, the Rays appear more inclined to deal major league players than prospects. A National League scout tells Cafardo that the team has been "very willing to include B.J. Upton in trade talks" and may even think about moving Wade Davis, if the price was right.
- The Rays also have some interest in Ted Lilly, who could be a fit for the Twins and Tigers as well.

Baseball Blogs Weigh In: Mets, Red Sox, Meek, Giants
On this date eight years ago, Major League Baseball's 73rd All Star Game ended after 11 innings in a 7-7 tie when both sides ran out of pitchers. Shortly thereafter, commissioner Bud Selig ruled that the All Star Game will determine home field advantage in the World Series, a still unpopular decision. The American League has won every Midsummer Classic since then, and 12 of the last 13 overall (the tie being the one exception).
This year's All Star Game is still four days away, so here are some links to keep you occupied until then...

Pirates Notes: Rule 5, Duke, Yates
Dejan Kovacevic has a new column up focusing on a number of Pirates topics:
- After liking what they've found in Rule 5 Draft picks Evan Meek and Donnie Veal, the Pirates are actively scouting available players and have identified some potential targets to use their #2 pick on in this year's Rule 5 Draft on Dec. 10. Meek posted a 3.45 ERA out of the 'pen for the Buccos in 2009. And, while Kovacevic points out that Veal's numbers this season were ugly, he recently dominated the Arizona Fall League. Veal posted a 2.14 ERA through 21 innings, allowing only a .221 opponent average, striking out 22 and walking seven.
- Last offseason, the Pirates locked up Ryan Doumit, Nate McLouth, and Paul Maholm, but Kovacevic says not to expect any long-term deals this time around. That includes Zach Duke, who will be eligible for free agency after the 2011 season.
- Tyler Yates, who underwent Tommy John surgery back in July, is back to playing pain-free long-toss and is discussing a minor league deal to keep him in the Pirates organization.
Pirates Hope To Retain Meek
Dejan Kovacevic fills us in on the Pirates' attempts to retain 25 year-old reliever Evan Meek.
Meek was a Rule 5 pick who the Bucs just couldn't hide in their big league pen all year. Meek was designated for assignment yesterday but the Pirates are trying to make a deal with the Rays rather than return him.
Baseball America says that Meek "uses a low-90s fastball that has good sink and run to pick up strikeouts and groundballs." As you might guess, control has been an issue.

Bento of the Week: Mexican Meatloaf
This week's bento box comes from Bento Yum. It has super cute accouterments, but I love it because it shows that a bento box doesn't have to be an Asian meal. This time it's a Mexican meatloaf and a baked potato. I know I'd love to open my lunch box up to that!

ANDERSON, Ind. —
The romance of the Polynesian islands, contrasted against the realities of World War II, sets the images and plot for the musical "South Pacific."
Underlying that beauty, however, are personal struggles to overcome the limitations of racism, age differences and political agendas. Those elements have made "South Pacific" a crowning achievement since its 1949 Broadway debut.
And, of course, there's the music: the haunting "Some Enchanted Evening," the catchy "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair" and the freeing "Younger Than Springtime."
Anderson's Mainstage Theatre would have been guaranteed success just by staging "South Pacific." However, Anderson's Mainstage Theatre director Rick Vale and cast take audiences into a tropical setting and romantic adventure that is spectacular for the community theater.
As might be recalled by most from the film, which differs slightly from the Broadway musical, an Army nurse, Nellie Forbush (played by Jessica Cookston), has fallen in love with a French expatriate Emile de Becque (Rick Purvis). He has two children from a marriage to a Polynesian woman and Nellie will show reluctance in accepting the kids. Seabee Luther Bills (Andrew Persinger) is a conniving sailor who provides comic relief. And Lt. Joseph Cable (Daniel Wohlberg) is sent to the islands on a mission to spy on the Japanese; de Becque will be asked to accompany him. Cable falls in love with a island woman.
For Mainstage, there isn't a single scene that goes adrift when any of those four performers are on stage.
Watch Cookston's sparkling eyes. When she looks from the stage to the back of theater, she captures the wonder of seeing a setting sun or the majestic hills of a nearby island; she takes the audience with her. Her vocals and energy are captivating.
Her co-star, Rick Purvis, returns to Mainstage after too long of an absence. He has everything his role demands – from a thick French accent to a rich basso contralto singing voice. Purvis is charming; we feel his pain when Nellie rejects his children.
Wohlberg's singing is evocative on "Younger Than Springtime." Persinger is a joy to watch — even when he wears a skirt and a coconut bra in a "gutsy" performance.
Granted, some side roles need stronger singing voices. And due to time and staging constraints, some unifying sections have been trimmed. But this 2 hour, 15-minute Polynesian trip is a fulfilling and enchanting start for Mainstage's 2013 season.

Police are asking the public to help them find a pair of suspects wanted in connection with an abduction of a teen girl Sunday in southern Vigo County.
The Vigo County Sheriff's Department, in a news release issued before dawn Monday, stated a 15-year-old female reported being forced into a cargo van outside her residence near Harlan Road, east of Hoosier Prairie Elementary School.
The teen told police she heard a knock at the door of her home about 5:30 p.m. Sunday and opened the door because the man outside was holding a box and appeared to be a delivery person. She stepped outside and the man attempted to grab her, she said. She then ran back inside and the man pursued her, she told police. She then ran outside and was confronted by another man with a knife and was then forced inside a van.
The teen, who was later released, had minor injuries consistent with being taken by force, police said. She was later treated and released from Terre Haute Regional Hospital.
The suspect vehicle is described as a cargo-style mini van with faded burgundy paint. The outside was described as dull with no shine. The van also reportedly included white lettering on the side, including a letter "K" that was larger than the other letters.
The floor of the van had a plywood covering, she told police.
Several leads were telephoned in to police Monday, said Clark Cottom, chief deputy with the Vigo County Sheriff's Department. However, as of mid-afternoon, the vehicle had not been found, nor had the suspects.
The suspects are described as white males. One is 5 feet 8 inches tall in his mid 20s or early 30s with a brown goatee. He was wearing black cargo pants, a blue belt, black polo shirt and a black Nike hat with a blue swoosh symbol and dark Oakley-style glasses and black gloves.
The second suspect is described as a white male, 5 feet 8 to 5 feet 10, mid 20s or early 30s, with medium-length curly brown hair and dark clothing.
Detectives were reviewing surveillance footage from Hoosier Prairie Elementary School and from nearby businesses, Cottom said.
Anyone with information that could help in this case is urged to contact the Vigo County Sheriff's Department at 812-462-3226 or anonymously at 812-238-STOP.

All I am saying is FSU is head and shoulders above us. This game showcased athletes the likes of which we have not seen in four years.
Watching Auburn's offense now, very aggressive. After having watched our sideline to sideline passing, behind the line, and running into stacked line of scrimmage. If only recruits couldn't watch the games. I feel bad that some recruits were at the game. FSU will just skim the top of what's left. We will still have Will. Easy for Foley, bad for UF football.
I think Meyer's "broken program" was actually the fact that he was not allowed to recruit like the other schools do. At one time I hated Meyer & blamed our problems on him, now I think the real culprit may be Machen's policies. I'm worried that so much attention is on the coach that we may miss the root cause. I'm wondering if Foley is staying with Muschamp until Machen leaves & UF can review ehether we want to handicap ourselves.
You're right. I meant Latroy. And I was responding to the post asking about the future. For example, I'm not saying the offensive line is going to be better. I'm saying that we will have talent there. But how good will they be? Depends on coaching and injuries. The bunch of guys who only played because of injury have by doing so showed their going to be players? How good? That remains to be seen. But they have shown they are going to be at least quality contributors. And elite or not, Matt Jones is a damn good running back. And you may disagree, but I think we've got a lot of talent on the roster coming back. Hence, I think there's reason for optimism. Not that we're going to be awesome next year, but tere is reason for optimism.
I agree that Will Grier might be the real deal, but any QB would look bad with a terrible O'line. I'd be at least optimistic next year if our O'line got it together. The QB's playing great would just be icing.
Overrated in my opinion. Those extra practices did not help us in last years bowl game or this season. Though when we stink next season I'm sure that will be pointed at as a reason to keep Muschamp even longer
And very little downfield passing. Lots of different ways to do things. There is no good system or bad system, there are just wins, which makes any system good. Except if it was UF's 11-2 year last year, in which the wins don't count.
Amazing how different things look when you win. Nobody thought FSU looked all that great after last years game. Of course Fisher replaced half of his coaches this year.
And winston could have very easily been suspended for this game, we are truley 1 qb away from a good team ( with minimum injuries)
Foley, tell Machem YOU are the AD,,,,recruit like Bama........As no OC wanting to step into this "mess" for possibly a year,Kerwin fricken Bell...Our team is as deep as the holes, except for the injuries and the off. staff...
^^winston didnt look like anyting special when he was getting sacked and hit when we could get pressure on him
