PHILADELPHIA – The first of three July Live Periods tipped off last night and NBE Sports was in the City of Brotherly Love for the Reebok Breakout Classic. Over 100 players made their way to Philadelphia University for the camp and the first night featured three sets of games.
NBE Sports focused on the games on court one on the opening night and got to see half the teams in action, allowing us to put together notes on quite a few players.
Eric Carter, a 6-foot-9 power forward from Jackson Memorial (NJ), is surprisingly good in transition for a post player. The class of 2014 recruit has a big frame and is adept at drawing fouls, but does have to do some work on finishing. However, he did have a game-high 16 points.
Noah Blackwell of Woodcreek (CA) may not be a big name on a national level, but the class of 2015 prospect is a nice talent. The 6-foot-1 point guard is a solid all-around player who can help his team in a number of ways and has shooting ability.
Class of 2014 combo guard Jeremiah Jefferson of Triple A Academy (TX) showed some major scoring ability. The 6-foot-2 combo guard had the highest point total on Court One on Wednesday, finishing with 18. He can shoot from beyond the arc and simply finds ways to produce.

After a long swoon during the holiday season, things have picked back up in a hurry on the recruiting trail. One of the nation's best big men made his pledge and several, as did a top-notch junior guard and several other players.
Dakari Johnson of Montverde Academy (FL) became yet another part of the star-studded Kentucky recruiting class. The 6-foot-10 class of 2013 center picked the Wildcats over Georgetown and Syracuse.
Johnson had been ranked No. 3 in the NBE Sports Class of 2014 Post-July Top 75, but he has since reclassified up to 2013. UK already has four additional top-15 commits in the NBE Sports Class of 2013 Post-July Top 125, as John Calipari is putting together his, if not the best class yet.

The Rumble in the Bronx came to a close on Championship Sunday with winners being crowned in the 15U, 16U, and 17U divisions. The NJ Playaz took down the 15U crown, Team Scan the 16U, and Sports U was named 17U champions after a thrilling triple overtime win over arch rival NJ Playaz. I was camped out at John Jay College on Sunday which featured some early 16U playoff action followed by 17U semifinals and finals. While Sports U used a balanced attack en route to the championship, the Playaz had the day's best performer in the losing effort.
Top Performance of the Day:
Shane Rector (NJ Playaz 2013) – As mentioned the Playaz lost a heartbreaker to Sports U in the championship game but Rector was a dominant force individually throughout the day on his team's path to that game. His improvement over the past 12 months has been fun to watch and speaks to Rector's tireless work ethic. A year ago at the Rumble I wrote about Shane after he scored 25 or so points without taking a shot outside of 4 feet. His game used to be all to the rim with little to no outside shot in his arsenal. Fast forward a year and the 3 point shot has become a major weapon for Rector as defenders can no longer go under the screen without being punished. He has also improved drastically as a floor general running a team and being a leader. No longer just an athletic combo guard, Rector has successfully made the transition to a full time point and his recruitment should soon reap the benefits.
NBE's Alex Schwartz was able to catch up with Rector Friday night, along with Saturday's Top Performer Dayshon Smith, to get the latest on the recruitment of two of the spring's fastest rising guards, not only out of NYC, but in the nation: NYC Guards Shane Rector & Dayshon Smith See Recruitment Rise.

After two days focused on the 17U tournament at Spring Fling, the 15U teams joined the party for Championship Saturday and ended up stealing the show. Team Takeover (DC) walked away with the Gold Championship in the 15U division and looked as strong as any 15U team in memory. They led the talent charge from the 2015 class but were joined by members of Team Scan, NY Lightning, and Albany City Rocks.
Top Performance of the Day:
Marcus Derrickson (Team Takeover 2015) – After sparking my interest Friday night, Derrickson convinced me of his elite status on Saturday winning tournament MVP honors after leading his team to the championship. The 6'7" 225 pound forward was unstoppable all tournament flashing NBA 3 point range on his jump shot as well as being the strongest 15U player in the paint. He was the dominant rebounder in every game he played in showing equal effectiveness on both ends of the floor. After proclaiming Derrickson a top 100 prospect after last night's action I'm ready to go quite a bit farther and say he looks safely like a top 25 guy in 2015. IF he continues to grow and ends up a few inches taller that projection would go even higher.

Now that the 2011 City of Palms Classic has come to a close it's time to put some measure on what I saw this week. Below are player rankings by class based on performances from this week alone. While they do impact my overall perception of these players, they are rankings strictly of what I saw in Florida this week.
Top 2012 Players:
1. Isaiah Austin (Grace Prep) – signed with Baylor – Austin was more committed to play inside on offense than he has been in the past and still rebounded and blocked shots at the highest level. He looked poised to challenge Shabazz Muhammad for top player in the class throughout the rest of the reason.
2. Shabazz Muhammad (Bishop Gorman) – It speaks to Muhammad's talent that after a subpar week by his standards he still slots in at # 2. He was the most persistent scorer at the tournament, getting his points every way imaginable.
As for his recruitment, Muhammad told NBE on the opening day of the event that he has no timetable for a decision and sounds as though he'll wait right up until the spring signing period to make his call. He listed an up-tempo style and a program that gets its players to the next level as the two most important factors in his decision making process. When the time comes Muhammad will be choosing from his final 6 of UCLA, Kansas, Duke, Kentucky, UNLV, and USC.

Each day at the City of Palms Classic seems to be more intense than the last. Today started off slowly with a mostly empty gym but it slowly filled up as the night wore and the semifinal matchups approached. When it was time for the tip of Montverde Academy and Grace Prep in the 1st semifinal there wasn't an empty seat in the building. Through a delay when a power outage sapped the scoreboard, constant breaks to wipe up an increasingly slippery court, and a wildly overheated Florida gym, high level basketball remained the focus. A select group of players stood a cut above the rest and they are outlined below.
Top Performance of the Day:
Julius Randle (Prestonwood Christian 2013) – In the final game of the night with a chance to play for the title on the line Randle was brilliant. He tallied 31 points and 15 rebounds on 12 of 18 shooting while facing consistent double and triple teams in the post. Randle's game has evolved as his skills have developed and while he still makes his living down low he showed the ability tonight to lead the break and facilitate offense for others from the perimeter. His shooting range now extends to the college 3 point line and he can comfortably handle the ball enough to help his guards break the press. Offensively, Randle has very few holes in his game but on the other side of the ball he does still need work. He has a tendency to sulk after a turnover and then miss a defensive assignment because he hasn't let the play go. While not uncommon for a young player, stars of Randle's caliber are held to a higher standard. If cleared up, there is nothing standing in his way from overtaking Jabari Parker as 2013's top prospect.

Khan/Judah not the only prize fight in town
By Raphielle Johnson
While boxing fans enjoyed the battle between Amir Khan and Zab Judah over at Mandalay Bay, two of the top AAU teams on the West Coast did battle at Bishop Gorman in the Las Vegas Fab 48. Led by the interior tandem of 2012 Brandon Ashley and 2013 Aaron Gordon, the Oakland Soldiers withstood a late rally to beat Belmont Shore 85-80. Both showed off their vast array of skills, especially Gordon with a few thunderous dunks.
The game was also valuable to see what Belmont Shore big men Zena Edsomwan and Grant Jerrett could do against two of the best prep players regardless of class. Edsomwan isn't the kind of player who's going to dominate the basketball but rather do the little things on both ends of the floor needed to win. Jerrett had his moments as well but it proved to be a tale of two halves for the Arizona commit.
In the backcourt the battle was just as intense, with the likes of Dominic Artis and Jabari Bird taking on Ikenna Ireogbu and Katin Reinhardt for Belmont Shore. With regards to dribbling skills, Artis may not have an equal in the 2012 class (Kris Dunn is another to consider). Bird can do just about everything on the floor, and while the 2013 prospect needs to continue to improve as a shooter he's shown the ability to knock down open shots.

I wanted to put forth a couple of articles that folks might want to read when evaluating the city council candidates...
The Bugle Blog, April 15, 2008...
This article discusses Rancon Real Estate and their real estate developments along Newport Rd and Domenigoni Pkwy, and how by coincidence the Riverside County Board of Supervisors decided to shift focus towards building the connector road for Newport Rd, instead of making safety improvements on Winchester Rd.
Valley News, May 9, 2008...
This article reveals how much money the candidates have earned from donors.
At today's broadcast of Menifee Valley Talk Radio, Julie Johnson said that it was the developers that donated the most money to finance the cityhood incorporation effort. That tells you right there, that they'd rather work with a city council instead of county planners. It makes sense that they want city council members who will dance for them.
Read the two articles that I linked above, and decide for yourself which candidates for city council have the needs of residents in mind. What are their intentions for running? How many years have they spent positioning themselves for this moment? Are they pawns for developers, or are they going put the needs of residents first?
Even if you are against cityhood, you will want to cast your votes for city council candidates, just in case cityhood passes.
Follow the Money for City Council Candidates

Unbelievable! You would actually allow Julie Johnson to weigh in on this community on your website and quote her in your article like she is someone with credibility and integrity?ReplyDelete
How hippocritical of Julie to make such comments. She collected money from those developers for Chamber memberships and Chamber sponsored events during her short tenure on "Both" the Chambers of Commerces.
Look at your past articles that Julie authored. She spoke with enthusiasm about the growth and development that was coming to Menifee. So now all of a sudden developers are bad?
She has the audacity now to point a dirty finger at developers and the money that they donated for the cityhood studies? She took all the credit for raising that money at the time along with Lori Stone Rubin.
I am supporting Cityhood, I am voting AT LARGE. There are some great choices in candidates out there. I am supporting KUENZI, MANN & CASTILLEJOS.

Well, you might not like what I said, but I spoke the truth. I was a paid employee of the Chamber of Commerce. I was paid to represent the Special Interest Group. I did the job that I was hired to do.ReplyDelete
Now, I have absolutely nothing to lose but to tell you the honest truth. If people choose not to believe it, then so be it. I do not live in Menifee Valley and it will not effect me in the least.
The truth is that anyone associated with ANY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE LEADERSHIP is interested in the business community, not necessarily the residents.
Darcy Kuenzi is in the pockets of Developer. Just look at her Campaign Disclosure that should be coming out today. Look at where she is getting her money.
As I stated about Darcy Castillejos, I think she would make a pretty good council person except that she, too, is associated with the Chamber of Commerce which is a special interest group. As she admitted on the show, she would resign from the chamber if she won because she believes it would be a conflict of interest. She is absolutely correct, and I applaud her for that. But it still remains that she has had a long association with a special interest group. It's an issue that residents need to ask so that she can address it.
I find it amazing that people criticize people but choose to remain anonymous. Stand behind your words and put a name to it. It would be so much more credible.

Thank You Julie Johnson for sharing your insights on the air of the first Menifee Valley Talk Radio Show yesterday and for your points you made today. Julie is not running for election but she did point out candidates who have developer ties. We need candidates that want to represent the CITIZENS of the valley and NOT special interests or developers. Follow the money trail...those candidates that have taken developer money have a special interest in the needs and wants of developers. At the very least because of the money the developers have donated to certain candidates, they now have created a CAPTIVE city council person who gives them MORE access and a listening ear than to us CITIZENS. We only get 3 min.s to speak in front of them at meetings. None of us regular CITIZENS have the means or money to donate as much money as developers have to candidates such as Kuenzi. I would also look at contributions for others such as Mann, Castillejos, Deines. Be informed and read the news today and see who else has received money BIG or SMALL from developers and you will know which candidates are representing YOU or DEVELOPERS!ReplyDelete

Where can I find the disclosure articles?ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 22, 2008 5:28 PM
We too are VERY interested to see disclosure of where the candidates are getting the campaign fundings. After reading all the buzz about Rancon, if you recall Jerry Stamper was also in power at the Menifee Chamber of Commerce at the same time. Since becoming president of the Menifee Lakes Master Association, guess who was contracted with to find a leasee for the Menifee Lakes Information Center on Newport Road...you guessed it...Rancon. Will be interesting to see disclosure of where Stamper is getting the big bucks for the huge campaign signs and brochures' not to mention aggravating phonecalls from his "volunteers". Almost comical that his overkill signs blighting the area are so much more in size and numbers than Jeff Stone's, our candidate for Riverside County Board of Supervisors, a REALLY beneficial position. Stamper seems to think he's running for Governor or something paying 'big bucks'...yet maybe it is in ways we don't realize. Check it out......ReplyDelete

Jeff Stone has taken money from every developer in Riverside County as well as major developers in San Diego, and San Bernardino.ReplyDelete
If you look at his campaign finance report, you will notice he held a fundraiser 3 weeks after he was in office and the fundraisers continued every month for the past 3 years.
He also is the next door neighbor of Dan Stephenson in Bear Creek which is a multi-million dollar house that Stone moved into one week after being sworn in as County Supervisor.
Just think, the same thing could happen with this new city council.

Stop trying to make a story where there is no story. Seeking and obtaining campaign contributions is part of the political landscape in America. There is nothing wrong with accepting them. There is nothing wrong with 'not' accepting them either. How on earth do you think people get elected? I guess you think that everyone who seeks office is independently wealthy and, therefore, they can finance their own campaigns.ReplyDelete

Grow up?? Join the 'grownups' and start asking questions...following blindly is less than grown up as you call it. T'would be an interesting study to compare the contractor contributions for each candidate and then compare how each candidate votes after elected and just what his agenda strives to do. What agenda do you thrive on - following blindly without asking questions just because that's how politics are...makes one part of the problem. Ethics are to be strived for, regardless of 'how things are'.....ReplyDelete

I agree, following the money trail is the how we can can make intelligent and informed decisions on which candidates are in the best interest of the residents. Let's talk about hidden agendas and egos... it's apparent that is running wild here. I won't be intimidated to NOT ask the tough questions.ReplyDelete

A lesson in reality.ReplyDelete
What is the difference between a candidate obtaining a campaign contribution and moms and dads donating or volunteering time to the PTA? Or a local business donating money to a high school booster club? Or a group of employees that band together to help out a co-worker and 'seek donations' to help them recover from a wild fire? Or the community rallying to donate money to a fund for surgery of a sick child? Or paying money to the local chamber of commerce to host a meal at the country club?
Money talks and you know what walks! I've worked all my life to try and save money for a rainy day and have some type of nest egg when I retire. Are you suggesting that candidates should erode their savings, pillage their retirement accounts or take out a second mortgage in this market to run a campaign?
Come on people...get over yourselves! You are probably the same type of hypocrites that say follow the money yet, go on-line and donate to Barrack or Hillary's campaign with a credit card donation. I visited a website recently that tracks campaign contributions. Amazingly, Senator Barbara Boxer has already amassed $2,948,028 in her war chest for 2010. (check out http://www.campaignmoney.com/)
So...senators, supervisors, congressman, judges, assemblyman and district attorneys can take campaign contributions but our local community leaders and volunteers who are willing to step up and lead can't take contributions?
I say again, grow up and get over your self-righteous selves!

There's nothing wrong in donating money to a cause. The question is if a property developer donates money to a candidate, will that candidate be in the developer's pocket? Or will he/she turn their back on the developer, and just do what's best for the people?

The Big, Bad Developer!ReplyDelete
My family worked in the construction industry for four decades as subcontractors. Those hard working people put food on the table, financed a couple of houses, bought a couple of cars over the years, took a vacation here and there, bought a few water and desert toys, and put kids in college because of the construction industry...err 'the developer'.
Look at what the construction industry touches from raw material to finished product - the sawmill where lumber is made, the carpet mill where fibers are put together for carpet and drapes, the framers, roofers, fencers, landscapers, painters, flooring guys, plumbers, concrete mixers, concrete pumpers and finishers.
The 'developer' who takes a risk and buys land with a vision to make a community out of it replete with multi-unit housing, single family homes (large and small lots), executive homes, senior homes, ranch style homes, big spreads, industrial, light industrial and commercial projects to expand the tax base. The planners, engineers, and architects who breathe life into a project. The realtors who move the product and the consumer who buys it. Oh, did I mention the service outlets that crop up to serve the needs of the community...fast food, grocery, retail, etc.
That same consumer then goes to Home Depot and Lowes and buys the sprinkler heads, garden hose, fertilzer, ceiling fans, appliances, window coverings, screen doors, etc., etc. Then, when his home improves in market value during the good times puts in a pool and spa, or adds a concrete pad for an RV or a deck and patio cover.
I, for one, am tired of the 'developer bashers' on this blog and others. If you haven't figured out that the residential and commercial construction industries fuel the American economy, then you must be the same person who believes in the redistribution of wealth by the state and federal governments.
By the way, those of my generation have a word for that... it is called Socialism!
I don't think anyone hates developers, we all live in homes built by them. We just want to know that our elected officials aren't going to be bought by developers, that's all.ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 23, 2008 12:24 AM
I totally agree with the above comment by Steve! We just want our elected officials to put "us" first. Build a "planned" city that we want not what the developers want. I think comment 12 (Big Bad Developer) paragraph 3 is right. We do need a variety of the housing that you listed but it has not seemed to have been working out that way and we just want more say in what is built in the area. That is why Cityhood is so vital!! Please vote YES on F and pick candidates that will listen and really represent YOU.ReplyDelete

There is a reason why developers have a bad reputation. They do buy candidates otherwise they wouldn't give money. Why would an out of the area developers give to a local candidate? You can see that Darcy Kuenzi received $2500 from Brookfield Developer and John Denver money from a Santa Ana Developer. So tell me, are these developers really interested in doing the right thing for a community they know nothing about or are they trying to build a bridge in which to come into the area? These are legimate questions and ALL COUNCIL CANDIDATES SHOULD BE SCRUTINIZED CLOSELY.ReplyDelete
- Darci CastillejosMay 23, 2008 1:37 PM
As Chairman of the Menifee Valley of Commerce I feel I must respond to some of the comments made here. The Chamber is an organization dedicated to supporting businesses in the community, all business. The mom-n-pop, the home-based, franchises, medium and large business. These members also allow the Chamber to support the community in a number of events including Santa's Workshop which provided toys to over 800 needy children and Student of the Month/Year, which recognizes outstanding youth from our local high schools. As a candidate for City Council I will use my business experience as well as my many years of community and military service to address the needs of the entire community, senior, family and rural. Economic development will be crucial to the success of our fledgling city and I feel my chamber experience will be beneficial in that effort. Please visit my website at www.darcicastillejos.com to learn more about me or ask me any specific questions. Vote Yes on Measure F!!ReplyDelete

Dear "Big Bad Developer" lover My father has been a contractor all his life and I grew up in Norco with cows, horses and chickens because he made a nice enough living to afford that style of living. However he never proposed that 3 story condos be built next to our acreage or that we cover all our business with tenement style housing on top of it. The county with the urging of advisors like developer backed Kuenzi have proposed such urban planning. "Developers" refers to a person that doesn't live in the area (most-likely they live at the beach somewhere) trying to build a project completely out of character with the surrounding community. They do this because the more houses they can cram in per acer, the more money they make. They then use that money to support candidates and the cycle goes on. I am not against making money but the City Councils responsibility is to speak for the residents of the community not for people who don't even live in the community. If this were not the case then why have government at all lets just let the free market dictate or better yet set the price for each vote at one dollar each. Candidates like Kuenzi, Stamper, Denver, Mann, and Deines need to be looked at closely for how they plan to be advocates for the voters rather than advocates for their supporters. When I ran for school board I spent less than $1000 and still got twice as many votes as my opponents. When Denver ran for Menifee School Board he spent $15000 and his opponent spent $800 and he lost. The message is more important than the money and I am confident that Menifee/SunCity voters will make the correct choice. (I hope) We shall see.ReplyDelete

You know Fred, you claim to be a Republican with center-right values and ideas based upon other posts on this blog. However, your writings, ramblings and feeble performance on the school board, suggest otherwise. And, for someone who grew up in a household supported by 'The Big Bad Developer', your views also suggest that 'government' is the answer to all problems. This should be eye opening to the voters.ReplyDelete
It is true that developer agreements that have already been signed by the county will be inherited by us. However, the remaining land in the General Plan is only a plan. We, as a new City Council, will be able to change the county's plan and make it our own plan.
In this regard, we will be able to ensure a balanced community. One with multi-unit dwellings, single family homes with large and small lots, executive style homes, ranch lots and your precious trail system that is a bona fide trail system. We also need commercial and light industrial zoning to attract and retain businesses to expand our tax base for the future.
Fred, your suggestion that Menifee remain rural, completely lacks the same vision with which you approach the school board. As a teacher at Paloma Valley High School, who is a member of the teacher's union, you should have recused yourself from the vote to give fellow teachers at the Menifee School District raises. This, in my view, was very bad form at the least and borders on undue influence at the worst. So don't feed the readers any crap about certain candidates accepting campaign contributions from development related firms. Look in the mirror...you make 'campaign donations' every month that you pay your UNION DUES!
Anyone like you, who votes to give the unions raises at a time of declining enrollment and declining state revenues should have their heads examined. The School Board's vote to give raises to the two unions at the expense of elementary school busing, elementary school counseling, and closing of Menifee Elementary School, a California Distinguished School, was short sighted. YOU CUT PROGRAMS AND CLOSED A SCHOOL IN EXCHANGE FOR RAISES IN SALARIES FOR FELLOW TEACHERS!
The readers need to know that under your leadership, as the Board President, these 4.something percent raises completely drew down the excess reserve that had been prudently accumulated over time. Is this the type of financial decision making you want on the new city council? I think not!
Yes my friends, Fred Twyman's performance is fiscal irresponsibility at its finest. We cannot AFFORD to have Fred Twyman on the city council making similar financial decisions and votes for the new city that he has made on the school board!
Unlike some city council candidates who have no public track record, Fred Twyman has a public record that is highlighted by irresponsible decision making and votes as an elected member of the Menifee School Board.
Do not vote to put Twyman on the city council!

As a resident I will never vote for Darci Castillejos or either of the Menifee Union district people(Mann and Tywman). All have proven unworthy and have poor past performance records. I won't even start on the school district people we all know what they are capable of, and leadership isn't one trait anyone would use to describe them. If you look at the district financial numbers -the top administrators have padded their pockets for the past few years and now that it's crunch time the bottom end of the employee scale are being asked to bear the brunt of the cuts. While adminstrators get raises others are getting laid off, and no amount of spin by either Mann or Tywman can jusitfy this.ReplyDelete
Now we all know Darci claims to have all this business experience which isn't even in Menifee. While she claims to be a loyal resident of our city but her sales revenue goes to another area. This cafe is fourth rate, service and food are lousy. If this is a reflection on the kind of leadership she will provide I for one would rather not bother. I have heard many others make negative comments about her unwillingness to listen and how stubborn she is. The traits these people posses have no place in leadership in this city.

Dear Developer Lover,ReplyDelete
I answered your exact same post in the 'The Reason Why the Republican Party is Hurting" forum please refer back there.
To address the person who wrote "I will never vote for Darci Castillejos or either of the Menifee Union district people (Mann and Tywman). "
If you compare the administration pay with neighboring districts you will see they are paid less than neighboring districts, as are the teachers. This is because Menifee is an Elementary district and gets less money per student than unified districts. I have been trying to unify the district for years so we can get the same money per student than the surrounding unified districts. It's a slow process.
No one has gotten laid off please don't spew misinformation. The district will be cutting back on some services if the governor gets his way, which will reduce some peoples hours. If he does not get his cuts then we will not cut back.
I don't support Darci but I have eaten at her restaurant and the food was good.
- AnonymousMay 26, 2008 4:45 PM
Also the Menifee district is half the size as neighboring districts. What about bus drivers they will be getting laid off shortly, so I will correct myself they will be laid off in the near future. Not to mention the fact that teachers are now being forced to teach subjects they aren't trained in, and school administrators are being forced to go between two different schools.(Like sharing vice-principals between two schools). No amount of spin can justify poor performance by those entrusted to ensure things like this don't happen. Just keep blaming the governor to justify the districts poor planning.ReplyDelete
"No amount of spin can justify poor performance by those entrusted to ensure things like this don't happen."ReplyDelete
You make it sound as if NO other school district had to cut back services, and layoff staff. I don't think you know the half of it.
- Fred TwymanMay 27, 2008 4:01 AM
It's a no win situation here I think.ReplyDelete
Fiscally conservative means you make due with what you have and don't raise taxes. If some administrators have to share schools and some bus drivers have to have a few less hours to ensure that the classroom services and programs don't get cut then I'm OK with that.
If you know of an instance where a teacher is teaching something out of his or her certification please bring it to my attention immediately this is against state regulations for highly qualified teachers and it should be corrected. No one is ever forced to do anything its not a sweat shop.
Please lend me your crystal ball so I can see the future as well. There are no plans I am aware of today to lay off anyone. Even though the budget may be cut a considerable amount.
Size matters not. What does matter is the amount of funding the districts get per student and Menifee get less that most surrounding districts because it is an elementary district. Please help me change that.

Acetyl-l-carnitine (a.k.a. acetyl-carnitine, ALCAR, ALC) is the acetyl ester of L-carnitine. In other words, it's regular l-carnitine to which an acetyl group has been attached. The acetyl group is responsible for some of the benefits of acetyl-l-carnitine; acetyl groups are used to produce energy in the brain. L-carnitine also helps produce energy but through a different mechanism (oxidation of fat), so the combination of acetyl groups and L-carnitine make acetyl l-carnitine an especially good energizing compound free of any stimulant properties.
Acetyl-l-carnitine is used primarily to boost mental and physical energy, especially in older people.1 Acetyl-l-carnitine responders report increased memory2, concentration3 and mood4with continued use.
Like L-carnitine, acetyl-l-carnitine may improve heart health5, and have antioxidant properties6. Acetyl-l-carnitine may also improve sperm motility7, with positive effects on fertility.8
Use acetyl l-carnitine as directed. Be careful not to confuse acetyl-l-carnitine with N-acetylcysteine or L-carnitine.
May cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort. In those with a preexisting seizure disorder, acetyl-l-carnitine may increase the frequency and/or the severity of seizures. Consult your physician. Pregnant/nursing women should not take acetyl-l-carnitine supplements, as their safety has not been established.

AMESBURY — Anna Jaques Hospital sold Amesbury Health Center last week for $4 million to a local real estate company that is looking to fill in vacant office space and make improvements to the property.
"We're a family-run business, not a big corporation," Robert Mondello of MAR Properties said. "(The property) is going to be improved."
MAR Properties bought the former town-owned hospital from Anna Jaques on Sept. 15 for half of the property's assessed value. Anna Jaques announced the sale yesterday.
The building, on Morrill Place off Main Street, is far from what it used to be decades ago. Amesbury Hospital was part of the bygone era when most cities and towns owned and operated their own hospital.
Anna Jaques bought the fledgling hospital from the town in June 1993 for $2.25 million.
Now, the hospital occupies half of the property's 55,000 square feet of office space, and that will continue with the new owner.
Anna Jaques has a long-term lease with the new owner to operate its child psychiatric unit, laboratory draw station, occupational health services and a radiology department from the property. The hospital has business office space in the building, as well. The agreement calls for Anna Jaques to lease the space in Amesbury Health Center for 30 years.
"That doesn't mean it stops after 30 years," Deborah Chiaravalloti, Anna Jaques vice president of public relations and marketing, said.
Mayor Thatcher Kezer said he's pleased with the news because Anna Jaques will still have a presence in Amesbury and the sale of the building will add to the town's tax base.
The building's property taxes to the town could be in the area of $164,000.
"We're very pleased," Kezer said. "(Anna Jaques Hospital president and chief executive officer) Delia (O'Connor) wanted to emphasis that Anna Jaques has a commitment to Amesbury, and that's what we want."
Money from the sale will go into a board-designated fund to be used by Anna Jaques Hospital's board of trustees.
"The funds could be used, potentially, for major investments in expanded programs or facility improvements, depending upon the needs of the hospital's patients. The cash from the sale will also be used to continue to strengthen the financial health of the institution," O'Connor said in a release.
Chiaravalloti said the money will not be used for the hospital's expansion project.
Mondello, a Hamilton resident, said he plans to keep the building as it is, except for making improvements Anna Jaques long deferred, including repaving the parking lot and fixing the building's signs.
He called the property's tenants "top-notch" and said that he wants to make the building an asset for Amesbury.

Q. My husband and I have been wearing rose-colored glasses: During the last two years, when the market was booming, we felt flush. We bought a new house, a new car and charged our credit card to the max. We felt lucky, but now we realize that a lot of that wealth was on paper--and we're worried that we've taken on too much debt. We know we need to cut back, but where do we start?
Jean Sherman Chatzky, author of Talking Money: Everything You Need to Know About Your Finances and Your Future (Warner Business Books, 2000), answers:
A. These days, many people are in the same situation as you -- and the numbers bear that out. For one thing, credit-card debt is at a 20-year high. The good news is that it sounds as though you and your husband are on the same page psychologically. No one likes admitting that they're having money problems, least of all people who, by anyone's yardstick, appear to be doing quite nicely.
Right now, lowering your credit card debt must be your number one priority. You also need to take a hard look at how much money you have coming in, and where you want it to go. Think carefully about what you want, and listen to what your spouse says. Do you really want that luxury car, or would a smaller, less expensive model be just fine? Consider what you spend every day, too. Most of us hit the ATM on Monday, take out $100, and by Wednesday we haven't a clue what happened to it. This may mean you have to sit down and itemize -- right down to the latte -- what you buy each week. It may seem tedious, but it's the only way you'll get a handle on your spending habits.
Next, consolidate your credit cards. You need two credit cards, no more. One should be a general card that you put your everyday purchases on and pay off in full every month. Make sure you get some perk such as frequent flyer miles that you'll really use. For your second card, look for the lowest rate you can find. Use this card for any big purchases that you'll pay out over time. Cut up your department store credit cards -- you can't negotiate interest rates or a payment plan if you get into a bind. In time, as your debt decreases, you can begin to live within the budget you've created.
Q. My husband thinks nothing of buying the latest computer gadget or big screen TV without consulting me, but I'd much rather invest our extra money in the kids' college funds. He says he works hard and should be able to buy what he wants, and that I don't know how to enjoy my life. How can we reach a compromise?
A. Money is an emotionally loaded subject, which is why one partner often focuses on long-term financial goals while the other believes in the enjoyment that money can bring right now. It sounds as if your problem lies less in the arena of money management and more in the area of plain old communication. You can't put a lock on your husband's wallet, but you can communicate better about why you think it's important to save for the future. You need to find ways to compromise so you both feel acknowledged and safe. Recognizing up front the emotional underpinnings of spending is critical for every couple. Ask your husband why he needs to buy so many news things. He may say he feels he works hard for his money, but he may also say he feels he doesn't spend enough time with you. Or perhaps his parents used to spend freely when he was young so he's following a similar pattern. On the other hand, maybe his parents had very little and he felt deprived, so now he's making up for lost time.
Dividing your money into three accounts--his, yours and ours--will allow each of you to achieve your goals. You can even suggest that you designate any windfall, a tax refund, for example, as bonus money for the next electronic gadget that catches his eye.

In medicine, the word remission refers to a temporary or permanent lessening or complete absence of disease symptoms.
One commonly accepted definition of remission used in depression research studies is having a score of seven or below on the HAM-D-17 (17-item Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression).
Complete and sustained remission of symptoms is the ultimate goal of depression treatment.
In the STAR*D (Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression) study, 70% of patients achieved complete remission of their symptoms by the time they reached their fourth level of treatment. A level of treatment was considered to be a change in their medication regimen, either switching to a different antidepressant or adding an additional one.

Ron Howard's always got more than a few irons in the fire, and he's about to add one more. Universal has acquired "364," a ridiculous-sounding pitch from David Guggenheim, the writer of the upcoming Denzel Washington/Ryan Reynolds starrer "Safe House." The story concerns a man who spends exactly 364 days of the year trying to plan how he'll spend the one day annually in which he has super powers. So, a seasonal Superman.
We don't know where to begin in hating every inch of this. Guggenheim, a former editor at noted bastion of creativity US Weekly, remains unproven as we have yet to see any of his work, though the "Safe House" script started a bidding war, and he's got two other projects set up in "Santiago" at Fox and "Puzzle Palace" at Summit. He's hot now, but you never know which guy is going to become the next Justin Marks or Allan Loeb, a writer who gets hot before a single word has been shot, only to be revealed as an unbearable hack. And then that premise... so this is a movie about... planning? How arbitrary does the "one day of superpowers" thing seem? Even Sean Connery circa "Highlander" would scoff at this kind of magic. Plus, super powers? Because we don't have enough movies about superpowered people? Though we do hope day 365 is spent hoarding all the world's donuts.
Howard, the Most Boring Director In Hollywood, has his choice of upcoming projects after "The Dark Tower" stalled at Universal. It's believed his next movie is the racing picture "Rush," though other possibilities include a genuinely bad idea in a live-action "Spy Vs. Spy," the fantasy-tinged, possibly written-on-a-cocktail-napkin pitch for "Amnesty," and the murderin' Mormon saga of "Under The Banner Of Heaven."

I actually think it sounds pretty cool too.
@shawnus | September 9, 2011 11:07 AM
If this movie has any hope of being watchable it needs one thing, Woody Allen to star.
buntyhoven | September 9, 2011 1:56 AM
I dunno man, I think the premise is sort of interesting. Imagine if it was public knowledge that he had this one day of superpowers, so he had governments/businesses/lobbyists, etc. all fighting to persuade him to use his powers for their cause. I kind of like the idea of it being a "Superman for hire" type moral dilemma.
That said, yeah, it might be pish. But the premise has promise.

(rōmaji: Abidatsuma-kusharon)

THL: Ngön Pa Dzö)
|Glossary of Buddhism
|Part of a series on
Abhidharma-kośa (Sanskrit; Tibetan: chos mngon pa'i mdzod; English: Treasury of Abhidharma) is a key text on the abhidharma written in Sanskrit verse by Vasubandhu, in the 4th or 5th century.[1] It summarizes the Sarvāstivādin tenets in eight chapters with a total of around 600 verses. The text was widely respected, and used by schools of Mahayana Buddhism in India, Tibet, and the Far East.
Vasubandhu wrote a commentary to his own work, called the Abhidharma-kośa-bhāsya. In it, he critiques the interpretations of the Sarvāstivādins and others of the tenets he presented in that work. This commentary includes an additional chapter in prose refuting the idea of the "person" (pudgala) favoured by some Buddhists. However, later Sarvāstivādin master Samghabhadra considered that he misrepresented their school in the process, and at this point designated Vasubandhu as a Sautrantika (upholder of the sutras) rather than as an upholder of the Abhidharma.
The text includes eight chapters:
|Ch. 1 Categories of Existence
|Gns Dng Po Khms Bsdn Pa
|Classifies existing things into stained and unstained phenomena
|Ch. 2 Sense Powers
|Gns Gnyis Pa Dbng Po Bstn Po
|Describes how existing things are perceived
|Ch. 3 The Suffering World
|Gns Gsum Pa 'jig Rten Bsdn Pa
|Describes the different realms and who inhabits them
|Ch. 4 Karma
|Gns Bzhi Pa Lam Bsdn Pa
|Describes where the world comes from
|Ch. 5 How Bad Thoughts Motivate Karma
|Gns Lng Pa Phy Rgys Bsdn Pa
|Describes how we come to create the deeds that create our world
|Ch. 6 How to Escape Suffering
|Gns Drug Pa Gng Zg Dng Lam

|Gns Bdun Pa Ye She Bsdn Pa
|Describes more thoroughly the wisdom mentioned in Ch.6
|Ch. 8 Balanced Meditation
|Gns Brgyd Pa Snyoms Par 'jug Pa Bsdn Pa
|Describes a Buddha's knowledge
|Ch. 9 Refutation of the Pudgala
|This chapter is included in Vasubhandu's commentary only; it is not in the root text.
An alternate English translation of the chapter titles, including the title of the 9th chapter of Vasubandhu's commentary, is:
- 1: The Dhātus
- 2: The Indriyas
- 3: The World
- 4: Karma
- 5: The Latent Defilements
- 6: The Path and the Saints
- 7: The Knowledges
- 8: The Absorptions
- 9: Refutation of the Pudgala
- 1: The Dhātus
Ancient translations of the Abhidharma-kośa were made into Chinese by Paramārtha (564-567 CE) and by Xuán Zàng (651-654 CE). Other translations and commentaries exist in Tibetan, Chinese and Mongolian, and modern translations have been made into English, French and Russian.
The English translation is:
- Abhidharmakosabhasyam of Vasubandhu, translated by Leo M. Pruden, Asian Humanities Press, Berkeley 1990 (Translated into English from the French translation of Louis de La Vallé Poussin, L'Abhidharmakośa de Vasubandhu, Institut belge des hautes études chinoises, Bruxelles, 1971)
There are many commentaries written on this text, including an autocommentary by Master Vasubandhu entitled Abhidharmakoshabhyasa. The First Dalai Lama, Gyalwa Gendun Drup (1391-1474) composed a commentary titled Illumination of the Path to Freedom.

...but at this point, it's getting a bit ridiculous.
The New York Yankees have raised ticket prices for 2009 in their new stadium. Premium seats run up to $2500 per seat, per game. Which, if you're buying two, would run you a cool 405k for the season.
In order to get in on this deal, "[f]ans must buy those seats for three, five, seven or 10 seasons...and buyers will lock in at a specified scale of price increases."
I don't know exactly how many of each seat in each price range there will be at the new Yankee Stadium, but a quick and terse calculation tells me that if the Yankees sell out every game, which is to be expected, their gross ticket sales would be in the ~250-300M range.
That's just absolutely dirty.

People evacuated from Dawlish as storm hits: Significant additional damage to rail line
9:15am Monday 17th February 2014 in News
Thirty people had to be evacuated on Friday as the latest storm hit Dawlish, causing more damage to the rail line.
Police and other agencies decided to evacuate parts of the town during the evening of Friday as a safety measure, due to high tides, strong winds and crashing waves.
Described as a "preventative measure", they were taken to Dawlish Leisure Centre.
A site visit at 9am on Saturday saw a review of any damage to the sea wall, with residents not be allowed back before that time.
The containers placed as a temporary measure have not been washed away however the sea wall has suffered further damage.
A Network Rail spokesman said: "The temporary sea wall performed heroically and remains intact, but there has been further extensive damage to the wall. This will clearly have an impact on timescales, but we won't know till midweek what they may now be."

text: SABMiller has agreed to buy Foster's Group Ltd. for 9.9 billion Australian dollars in cash ($1O.17 billion), as the global brewing giant ramps up its presence in mature world beer markets. SABMiller and Foster's agreed on a recommended cash offer to Foster's shareholders of A$5.1O a share. The offer is a premium on its previous A$4.9O-a-share bid made in June which Fosters rejected as insufficient. SABMiller – the second-biggest global brewer by volume after Anheuser-Busch InBev NV – wants to extend its proportional reach out of the fast-growing emerging markets, which bring in 8O% of its profits, by building its position in developed consumer economies. The UK-based group also said it expects to benefit from booming growth in Asia, where rising incomes and preference for a Western lifestyle are fueling demand for consumer products. Foster's is Australia's biggest brewer by sales and has a portfolio of well-established brands including VB, Carlton Draught, Crown Lager, Pure Blonde, Carlton Mid and Carlton Dry. SABMiller's pursuit of Foster's is the first big acquisition play in the brewing industry since Heineken bought Mexico's FEMSA early last year.

According to an announcement on its website, the Emma S. Clark Memorial Library in Setauket will close on Sunday for scheduled maintenance of the parking lot. While the library will remain open on Saturday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., portions of the lot will not be available for parking.
As part of , the Hauppauge-based company Powerhouse Paving came in September of 2011 to seal cracks in the asphalt as well as address the depressions that had formed around some of the storm drains. This weekend's maintenance will involve re-sealing the pavement and painting new lines, which will account for $5,000 of the project.
Library director Ted Gutmann said it's not being done in response to specific complaints. "It's just about 10 years old so it's time for a little bit of planned maintenance," he said.
According to a note on its website, the library has adjusted its circulation system so that no materials are due back on either day.

I recieved some of Adam's products and couldn't wait to try them out. From the moment I opened the package, I could tell that Adam really puts a lot of time and effort into his company. The packaging was the best I'd ever seen. The labeling on the products is very attractive. The products all worked better than advertised. I have really become a huge fan of the Detail Spray. In 5-10 minutes, my vehicles can look as clean as if I had just spent hours working on them. Great products!!!

six-week training sessions, beginning this upcoming summer. Students who
are accepted into the program, finish OCS and graduate with their Bachelor's
Degree are then offered a commission in the Marine Corps for their choice to
either choose or accept. The program is much like NROTC, minus military
obligation during the school year. We also have financial and tuitional
assistance to help students pay for their school.
The information session on the 30th will begin with a presentation on Marine
Corps Leadership and then transition into details about the PLC program and
will be followed by a presentation by LtCol Nothelfer about females and
aviators in the Marine Corps. I would like the presentation to start at
10AM and will most likely last until 12PM with follow-on interviews
As always, we encourage students to learn more
about the Marine Corps Officer Programs by going to www.Marines.com

Ignore the assholes. Footjobs are fantastic from sexy young girls with clean, smooth, petite, lean feet. 14-19yo's do it best... size 9 teen feet, pedicure or just cleanly taken care of toes are sexy. Get some baby oil, or lube, massage her feet n legs, pull out your cock and let her work you over with her sexy young flexible toes til you blow all over them.
You are justa strange feet lovin' fucker.You are not dangerous though so I'd say your foot fetish is a safe kink to have.
there is nothing more attractive then a nice pedicure. If a woman doesn't have nicely shaped feet and an expensive french tip pedicure-- I won't consider dating her!

DUNLAP, Ill -- Congress' extension of the Farm Bill is causing some concern for farmers across the country.
That's because the extension is not a full year; it ends September 30.
However, one local farmer is upset the U.S. even has a farm bill in the first place.
"What I'm against is entitlements for people who don't deserve them, and the entitlement mentality has crept into farming just as it has in other industries, but we used to be an organization that shunned entitlements," said Corn and Soybean Farmer David Menold of Dunlap.
Menold says the problem is that farmers have begun to rely on entitlements rather than their own skills, which he says destroys competition and is not good for the consumer, because consumers have to foot the bill through taxes.
"My attitude is that I was put here on God's green earth to harvest corn from that ground, not to expect cash from the government," said Menold.
Cash from the government can also be a good thing for farmers and consumers. It provides a safety net for farmers including regulations on soil conservation and water quality, ultimately leading to safer crop yields. It also helps the job market through agricultural, energy and climate change research.
Regardless of whether you're for or against it, farm bureau officials are hopeful for a resolution soon.
"After we get by maybe the Easter recess, we can get talks going in both the Senate and the House to have something put together before the August recess," said Illinois Farm Bureau President Philip Nelson.

Praxair Engineer Interview Question
"The most difficult aspect of this interview was that i was never told the actual position (and responsibilities) i was interviewing for. I asked several times for more information and was simply told it was a general engineering position and the responsibilities were vague. However when interviewed almost all the technical questions were geared toward a equipment engineering position. All the questions focused on being able to size and choose the correct equipment for a situation, such as sizing a heat exchanger or compressor or choosing the correct type equipement for a given application. Had I known this i would have prepared for the interview much differently."

Cornerstone Research has released its annual report on securities class action settlements. The notable findings include:
(1) There were 53 settlements in 2012, involving $2.9 billion in total settlement funds. While the overall number of settlements represents a 14-year low, the total settlement funds increased by more than 100% from 2011. The increase in total settlement funds was due in large part to an increase in $100m+ settlements (accounting for nearly 75 percent of all settlement funds in 2012).
(2) The average reported settlement amount increased from $21.6 million (2011) to $54.7 million (2012). There also was a sharp increase in the median settlement amount from $5.9 million (2011) to $10.2 million (2012). The key factor identified by Cornerstone as responsible for the increase in settlement values was a spike in the median "estimated damages" associated with the settled cases (a significant portion of which were related to the credit crisis).
(3) More than 50% of the settled cases were accompanied by a derivative action filing, compared with a post-Reform Act average of 30%. The presence of a derivative action historically coincides with a higher settlement value for the related securities class action.
Quote of Note (press release): "Class action securities fraud litigation is, like many other lines of business, 'hit driven,' in that a small number of settlements often account for a large percentage of the dollar flow. That fact of life can make annual settlement data quite lumpy. Settlement trends are often best viewed over time periods longer than a year, and by carefully analyzing settlement data to reflect the underlying characteristics of the cases being settled. So, just as a lull in last year's data suggested a pickup for this year in the aggregate statistics, it is always possible that this year's bump could cause total settlement dollars to tick downward next year."
The Eleventh Circuit has issued an opinion that provides some clear exposition on the issue of loss causation. In Meyer v. Greene, 2013 WL 656500 (11th Cir. Feb. 25, 2013), the court considered whether the plaintiffs had adequately plead loss causation in a securities class action brought against St. Joe Company (a Florida real estate development corporation). The two key disclosures cited by the plaintiffs were (1) a presentation by a prominent short seller, and (2) the company's announcement of an SEC investigation. The district court found that neither disclosure revealed to the market the supposed falsity of the company's prior statements and dismissed the complaint.
On appeal, the Eleventh Circuit examined the two key disclosures:
(1) Short Seller Presentation - The court found that the presentation was based (by its own admission) on "publicly available sources." As a result, it did not provide any new facts to the market that could act as a corrective disclosure. Indeed, the plaintiffs "cannot contend that the market is efficient for purposes of reliance and then cast the theory aside when it no longer suits their needs for purposes of loss causation." Having conceded that the market was efficient and St. Joe's stock price reflected all public information, the plaintiffs "must take the bitter with the sweet."
Nor could the plaintiffs claim that that the presentation qualified as a corrective disclosure because it provided "expert analysis of the source material." The court held that "the mere repackaging of already-public information by an analyst or short-seller is simply insufficient" because "the only thing actually disclosed to the market when the opinion is released is the opinion itself, and such opinion, standing alone, cannot reveal to the market the falsity of a company's prior factual representations."
(2) SEC Investigation - Although the company's disclosure of an SEC investigation lead to a decline in its stock price, the court noted that "the SEC never issued any finding of wrongdoing or in any way indicated that the Company had violated the federal securities laws." Under these circumstances, an "investigation can be seen to portend an added risk of future corrective action" but it does not mean that SEC investigations "in and of themselves, reveal[] to the market that a company's previous statements were false or fraudulent."
Holding: Dismissal affirmed.
Quote of Note: "Put another way, though Sec. 10(b) is designed to protect against fraud, it is not a prophylaxis against the normal risks attendant to speculation and investment in the financial markets, and loss causation therefore ensures that private securities actions remain a scalpel for defending against the former, while not becoming a meat axe exploited to achieve the latter."

Two states recently agreed to recognize West Virginia concealed handgun permits, according to a news release from the Office of Attorney General Patrick Morrisey.
The state recently reached agreements with the states of Georgia and Colorado that allows both states to recognize W.Va. concealed carry permits. The agreement also allows W.Va. to recognize similar permits issued in those states, officials said.
A new law also went into effect in Alabama earlier this month that recognizes all out-of-state concealed handgun permits, according to the news release. Now, W.Va. is in the process of securing full reciprocity with Alabama so that W.Va. can recognize Alabama residents' handgun permits as well.
"This is great news for West Virginia handgun owners because it means residents with concealed carry permits can legally travel to any state south of here and be confident their license will be recognized," Morrisey said. "Considering how many of our residents travel to the beaches of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, this is a great step forward for our state. In addition, people traveling west have one more state in which their licenses will be recognized."
Officials said 27 states now have full reciprocity agreements with W.Va.

Rural Marketing
Emami launches `mobile traders', village shops
Our Bureau
Rural power
The schemes provide an opportunity to earn a regular and sustainable income to the unemployed rural youth and women who have no fixed income.
Kolkata , March 6
The personal and health-products major Emami Ltd, a member of the Rs 700-crore Emami Group of Companies, has launched an innovative rural self-employment programme, as part of the group's new CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiative to help eradicate rural poverty.
In a bid to make the programme successful, Emami has entered into partnership arrangements with several agencies at different levels, like the regional rural banks (RRBs), gram panchayats, district rural development cells, farmers' clubs, youth clubs, NGOs and other Self Help Groups and other organisations.
The programme involves two new schemes - Emami Mobile Traders (EMT) and Emami Small Village Shops (ESVS). Briefing newspersons here, Mr S.K. Goenka, Managing Director of Emami Ltd, said this provides an opportunity to earn a regular and sustainable income to the unemployed rural youth and women who have no fixed income.
To extend market
Describing the entire exercise as a "win-win for all", Mr Goenka said the project enables the company to effectively extend its markets to the rural interiors, ensuring assured income, social benefits and genuine product availability at doorsteps for the village folk.
"And for the RRBs, the programme allows gainful utilisation of micro credit, to SHGs positive recoveries and extension of bank linkages."
Mr Goenka said the scheme initially introduced in Cooch Behar district of North Bengal was now successfully operating in Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Orissa. He said plans have already been firmed up to introduce it in Maharashtra and Karnataka. At present there were 2,000 EMTs and 200 ESVS outlets conducting direct rural marketing of Emami range of products in West Bengal, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Orissa. Giving details of the scheme, he said EMTs ensure a guaranteed income of Rs 1,000 on goods worth Rs 4,000 sold per month. The rural folk manning these outfits are provided uniforms, winter and monsoon protection equipment and identity badges by the company.

text: I read a Fanpost the other day that suggested that the only way that we could get Wil Myers from the royals is by trading away Zack Wheeler.That trade doesn't really make any sense, because the Royals are looking for pitching NOW, so that they can contend for a playoff spot, and they also have pitching prospects like Danny Duffy and Jake Odorizzi,Kyle Zimmer, and Yordano Ventura. All of those pitchers, with the exception of Duffy, who has pitched too many MLB innings to still be a prospect, are top 100 prospects according to MLB.com. They only need two things to be a contender next year. They have a solid outfield with Alex Gordon and Lorenzo Cain.They have an above average bullpen with Greg Holland, Kelvin Herrera, Aaron Crow,Tim Collins, Louis Coleman,Francisley Bueno,and Nate Adcock, who were all excellent in 2012.That Royals bullpen had a 3.17 ERA in 2012, good for 6th in the MLB.They have an infield filled with talent, including Mike Moustakas at 3rd,Eric Hosmer at 1st, and Alcides Escobar at SS, however they lack a starting 2nd Baseman. They have a solid starting catcher in Sal Perez, and a stud DH in Billy Butler. They have an average rotation with Guthrie, Ervin Santana,Luis Mendoza, and possibly Bruce Chen or Luke Hochevar. With that offense, they don't need a great rotation to make the playoffs. The rotation they currently have still won't be enough for a playoff berth. They lack a true #1 pitcher, and the lack a starting 2nd baseman. With the team they have right now, they have a chance of making the playoffs, but it's a long shot. If they can fill those two holes, they will have a legit playoff contender. Obviously the Royals are interested in reigning Cy Young winner R.A Dickey, according to mlbtraderumors.com. The reports from that website suggest that R.A Dickey isn't enough for Wil Myers. So why not throw in Daniel Murphy? Murphy is a legit starting 2nd Baseman, if only by virtue of his bat. This trade would fill both holes on the royals, while ensuring that the Mets have a superstar outfielder for their playoff run in 2014-16. Even if that is not enough for the royals, you could throw in guys like Jeurys Familia, Colin Mchugh, Jenry Mejia, or guys like Zach Lutz, Reese Havens, or Josh Satin. If the royals accepted that trade, it would go a long way toward filling a big need for the mets. With Murphy gone, the Mets would need a starting 2B. They have a lot of guys who could do that, like Jordanny Valdespin, Reese Havens ( if he doesn't go to KC), or even top prospect Wilmer Flores. Flores is currently at 3rd, but is blocked by Wright. Also, his lack or range suggests that a move to 2nd or 1st would have been likely in the near future anyway. His bat is certainly ready, and hopefully he wouldn't be such a defensive butcher at 2nd. They could also bring in a guy like Freddy Sanchez on an incentive laden deal, if only as a stop gap solution. What are your thoughts?Do you think this trade is realistic? Do you think the mets have an in house option to replace Murphy? Do you want this trade to happen?

I have a quick question. I'm tooling around with stations and routing for the first time and was wondering, how do you get the routing to follow a conveyor path? Does the conveyor have to be an inventor asset in order to be recognized? Or do you just put up station after station, until you arrive at your next divert point? (knowing that stations aren't meant for routing paths, but for a purpose).
Solved! Go to Solution.
The current FDS solution cannot support following the specific path ,such as Conveyor path. The path is the direct line of the Bule point of the station now.
Thank you very much for the question, we are getting a lot of requests for this functionality and your feedback helps us prioritize functionality as candidates for a future release of Factory Design Suite.
I would also like the ability to route along a conveyor. Because I am unable to do this I have to purchase an alternative, non-Autodesk software to do what I thought Factory Design Suite could do.
Hi There,
Sorry we didn't update the latest info for you.
Now we have a chance to route along conveyor path in Factory Layout suite 2013. Please refer to the pdf attached.
Please let me know if you have any comments.
Thanks Xuesong! This is great news. Is there any way to change the units in the routings from minutes to seconds?
In Options, please find Factory Tab, in Defaults area, you can change the units for Stations, Operations, Jobs etc...


text: Ryan Whitney said some really nice things in his interview yesterday about coming up to a young team and wanting to take a leadership role. This is definitely good news. Say what you will about his play in Anaheim this past year, but Whitney was drafted 5th overall in 2002 for a reason and 38 points in 82 games with the Ducks as a 3/4 defenceman is truly nothing to scoff at. He's already been through the tail end of a rebuild as well as 38 playoff games in both Pittsburgh and Anaheim. Let's not forget he was in the SCF in 08, albeit on the losing side. At 27 years old, he brings veteran experience at a key age, something possessed only by Tom Gilbert, Dustin Penner and Ales Hemsky on this team. He almost makes up for the loss of Jarret Stoll and Matt Greene in that sense, which is likely a good thing. If he wants to be the player he was in Pittsburgh, maybe the Oilers aren't a bad place to be to restart a career filled with potential that has gone a little sideways the past two seasons. Younger players to build around are almost always positive assets, especially when these players have the benefit of playoff experience to draw upon. This marks the start of establishing a new core of peak aged players in Edmonton, much like what the Kings have been trying to establish the past few years. I don't know if Whitney is capable of becoming a top-pairing option, but he's is an Oiler now and he has the pedigree to become the player the Penguins drafted him to be. In the short term, the Oilers definitely lose this trade, but long term Whitney could turn out to be a very strong piece of the puzzle. It's hard to be optimistic these days, but you have to start somewhere, right?

Chargers to host Junior Seau memorial at Qualcomm Stadium May 11
City News Service
The chargers will host a "celebration of life" for late San Diego Chargers linebacker Junior Seau, 6:30 p.m. Friday, May 11 at Qualcomm Stadium.
The 12-time Pro Bowl star and local sports icon died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound May 2.
Admission and parking are free. The parking lot will open at 2 p.m., and the stadium gates will open at 4:30 p.m.
Extra trolleys will be put into service on the Green Line to accommodate fans who want to pay their respects to Seau at Friday's memorial, the Metropolitan Transit System announced.
The added trains will leave the Old Town Transit Center for Qualcomm Stadium beginning at 3:45 p.m., and depart the 70th Street Station starting at 4:30 p.m., according to the MTS.
Seau died May 2 of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest at his Oceanside home, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office. Since his death, fans have left flowers, jerseys and footballs at makeshift memorials outside his home, his namesake Seau's The Restaurant, and at the many sports fields around the region that were sponsored by his foundation.
Friday's public memorial service will include special guests who will share stories about the impact the Oceanside native had on them and others, according to the Chargers.
A private church service is planned Thursday in Oceanside.

Once the third-largest mental hospital in New York, the Kings Park Psychiatric Center has been abandoned since 1996. This massive facility, once home to ten thousand patients, has become a haunt of the ghosts of history.
Photographer J.R. Washburn takes the reader into a place rarely seen by the average person - into the heart of this abandoned asylum. Walk down the dusty corridors and sit in the decay-ridden rooms that once housed the patients and staff of Kings Park.
These clear, haunting photographs show the facility as it is today. They show how the historical structure has given way to time and vandalism - how the place has begun to decay without any effort to preserve it.
