Mike Rizzo
Break's over
Jan 6, 2014, 6:00 AM EST
If you're having a difficult time remembering the Nationals' most-recent roster transaction, don't feel bad. It's been 18 days since the Nats traded Corey Brown to the Athletics for cash considerations, and it's not like that was an earth-shattering move to begin with. The Nationals, like most MLB clubs, essentially took two weeks off for…
Significant moment No. 2: Rizzo hires Williams
Dec 30, 2013, 6:00 AM EST
As we count down the final days of 2013, we are counting down the 10 most significant moments of the year for the Nationals. These aren't necessarily positive (or negative) moments, and some didn't even take place on the field. All, though, were significant in the big picture and defined the Nationals' year. We continue…
Nationals send Brown back to A's for cash
Dec 19, 2013, 12:40 PM EST
The Nationals have traded Corey Brown to the Athletics, sending the outfielder back to the franchise that originally drafted him in the eighth deal struck between Mike Rizzo and Billy Beane in three years. Brown had been designated for assignment last week by the Nationals, who needed to clear a space on their 40-man roster…
Revisiting all those Nats and Athletics trades
Dec 17, 2013, 2:43 PM EST
Since Mike Rizzo took over as Nationals general manager in 2009, he's found quite the trade partner in Billy Beane of the Oakland Athletics. Since late 2010, the two have orchestrated seven different trades, sometimes sending the same players back and forth in separate deals. Rizzo and Beane clearly enjoy doing business with each other,…
Lefties priced themselves out of Nationals' market
Dec 17, 2013, 6:00 AM EST
Two more clubs signed free agent left-handers yesterday, and if you're wondering why the Nationals couldn't have landed one of these guys, you need only look at the bloated contracts said southpaws were given. Boone Logan, owner of a 4.39 ERA in eight major-league seasons, got a 3-year, $16.5 million deal from the Rockies. Meanwhile,…
3 deals in 10 days leave Nats in good shape
Dec 12, 2013, 6:00 AM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Ten days ago, the Nationals needed a starting pitcher. They needed a left-handed bench bat. And they sorely needed a left-handed reliever. Then came the trade for Doug Fister. Then came the signing of Nate McLouth. And after Wednesday's trade for Jerry Blevins, general manager Mike Rizzo could take comfort…
Rizzo: Blevins was "our best option"
Dec 11, 2013, 6:08 PM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — The Nationals talked to every left-handed reliever on the open market. And they inquired about potential trades with three or four clubs. In the end, Mike Rizzo decided a Jerry Blevins-for-Billy Burns swap with the Athletics made the most sense in multiple ways. "This was the best option we could…
VIDEO: Will Nats make amends for 2013?
Dec 11, 2013, 2:04 PM EST
Nationals manager Matt Williams knows he is taking over a team with sky-high expectations. After winning 98 games in 2012 the Nats took a big step back by missing the playoffs with only 86 victories in 2013. Williams says the team hopes to reach their full potential in 2014, and make amends for what happened this…
Williams wants Davey at spring training
Dec 11, 2013, 11:36 AM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Though he has remained out of sight since managing the final game of the season in Arizona, Davey Johnson remains a member of the Nationals' organization. The 70-year-old former skipper officially is listed as a consultant in the club's baseball operations department, and general manager Mike Rizzo has repeatedly said…
Rizzo: No offers for Clippard, Storen, Span
Dec 10, 2013, 6:04 PM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — On Tuesday morning, two Nationals sources downplayed trade talks involving Tyler Clippard or Drew Storen. On Tuesday afternoon, Mike Rizzo shot down the notion he's even received a formal offer for either reliever. Or center fielder Denard Span. "We haven't been fielding all that many calls on Clippard and Storen,"…
VIDEO: Nats GM Mike Rizzo on lefty reliever market
Dec 10, 2013, 2:57 PM EST
The Nationals have already made what many expect to be their biggest moves of the offseason, acquiring Doug Fister to strengthen their rotation and Nate McLouth to bolster their bench. There still remains, however, a vacancy in their bullpen where the Nationals would like to add at least one left-handed relief pitcher. Mark caught up…
Nats expect McLouth to get significant playing time
Dec 10, 2013, 8:41 AM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — After a strong bounce-back season in Baltimore, Nate McLouth figured to sign with a club this winter that would offer him the chance to win an everyday job. The Nationals, of course, had no such opportunity with Bryce Harper, Jayson Werth and Denard Span all entrenched in the outfield. But…
Rizzo believes Ramos can catch 125 games
Dec 9, 2013, 7:54 PM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Conventional wisdom, entering the Winter Meetings, suggested the Nationals were in the market for a veteran backup catcher, someone who could be a reliable No. 2 behind Wilson Ramos. Mike Rizzo, though, appeared to quash that line of thinking on Monday, saying he believes Ramos can start 125 or more…
Rizzo in no rush to sign lefty reliever
Dec 9, 2013, 6:43 PM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Though he admits he's "actively" trying to acquire a left-handed reliever, Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo suggested he isn't facing any urgency to make a move this week during the Winter Meetings. "I think we're going to take our time with it and get the right fit and see where…
Lefties on agenda as Winter Meetings commence
Dec 9, 2013, 6:00 AM EST
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Hello from the Dolphin Resort at Walt Disney World, where the Winter Meetings officially open for business this morning. That's assuming everyone made it out of the snow/ice up north. By all accounts, it appears everyone associated with the Nationals did make it, including your trusty beat writer, who was…
Winter Meetings preview
Dec 7, 2013, 9:00 AM EST
The Nationals have already addressed their need for another starting pitcher, trading for Doug Fister on Monday night. Then they closed out the week by bolstering their bench with the signing of Nate McLouth late Friday afternoon. So, what's left for Mike Rizzo and Co. to do once they arrive in Orlando on Sunday for…
Rizzo on Fister trade, 5th starter and more
Dec 3, 2013, 12:24 PM EST
General manager Mike Rizzo just wrapped up a conference call with reporters a few minutes ago. Obviously, last night's trade for Doug Fister was the primary topic of discussion, but Rizzo also addressed some other issues, including the competition for No. 5 starter, the state of things at second base and the continued desire to…
Hard not to like Fister trade for Nationals
Dec 3, 2013, 9:00 AM EST
Mike Rizzo was determined to bolster the Nationals' rotation this winter, and he didn't sound too keen on going back to the same free-agent well he delved into the last two offseasons. No, it became obvious early on the Nats' general manager wanted to acquire a starter via trade, perhaps one not all that dissimilar…
Nats sign reliever Stange to minor-league deal
Nov 21, 2013, 3:50 PM EST
The Nationals signed reliever Daniel Stange, one of Mike Rizzo's former draft picks in Arizona who pitched this season at Class AAA with two different franchises, to a minor-league contract. Stange, who turns 28 next month, is a husky (6-foot-2, 210 pounds) right-hander who has made seven career big-league appearances (four with the Diamondbacks in…
Nats announce front office promotions
Nov 21, 2013, 1:09 PM EST
The Nationals have made several alterations to their scouting and player development departments in the wake of Roy Clark's departure for Los Angeles, announcing several front office promotions on Thursday. Clark, who had served as assistant general manager and vice president of player personnel since 2009, left the Nationals to join the Dodgers earlier this…
Revisiting last winter's transactions
Nov 21, 2013, 9:00 AM EST
Before the offseason really heats up — I mean, heats up here in D.C. Based on last night's earth-shattering trade, I'd say the offseason is now in full swing in both Detroit and Texas — it's perhaps worth one final look back at last offseason. The Nationals didn't conduct many transactions during the 2012-13 winter,…

What would Nats have to give up for an elite starter?
Nov 13, 2013, 6:00 AM EST
It's no secret Mike Rizzo would like to acquire another starting pitcher this winter, and it's clear the Nationals general manager is willing (if not eager) to explore the trade market for such a pitcher. And there are two legitimately elite starters out there right now who could be dealt: David Price and Max Scherzer.…
The need for more coaching continuity
Nov 12, 2013, 6:00 AM EST
The Nationals can't begrudge Trent Jewett for leaving the organization and accepting a job as the Mariners' new bench coach. Jewett has longstanding ties to Lloyd McClendon and wanted to become the new Seattle manager's right-hand man, giving up his third base coaching job in D.C. There's nothing wrong with that, and the Nationals won't…

Museum's 'Sandy Stories' event a chance to capture memories
Written by Cindy Nevitt Friday, February 01, 2013 12:09 pm
|< Prev
|Next >
OCEAN CITY – In an attempt to capture living history, the Ocean City Historical Museum hosted "Sharing Our Stories: Hurricane Sandy," a 90-minute presentation Thursday, Jan. 31 at the Ocean City Free Public Library.
The idea, said Ken Cooper, president of the museum board, was to give residents an opportunity to draw strength from one another while providing the museum an archive of stories, photos and videos of the Oct. 29, 2012 hurricane that has become the new benchmark by which to measure all storms.
"Talking is a big part of the healing process," he said. "It was a rough thing we all went through."
"Anybody who lives in this town is affected," said a representative from New Jersey Hope & Healing, an organization that is starting an emotional support group that will be held at 6 p.m. on Tuesdays at St. JohnLutheranChurch. "Everyone who experiences a hurricane like Sandy is affected."
"You cannot prepare for a Hurricane Sandy, mentally, physically, morally," said Paul Anselm, whose one-story home on 28th Street near Haven Avenue took on two feet of water. "We did not believe that at 82 years old, we would have to rebuild our house. I hope I never again see a Hurricane Sandy."
Eye-witness tales
Of the 50 people who attended the event, only four admitted to remaining on the island during the devastating storm, something most swore they would never do again given the chance. None made that point more emphatically than John Walton, a resident of Third Street who, as the storm bore down on the town, grew to regret his decision to stay and ride out the storm.
"I will never, ever, ever stay again, ever," he said at the conclusion of an animated retelling of his experience. "God forbid if the orders ever go out again to evacuate, I will beat every single one of you off this island."
Walton admitted to being scared of the ocean water as it surged around houses in his neighborhood, entering his home and driving him up to the second floor with his inadequate survival kit of canned tuna fish, a flashlight, a radio, his wallet and his iPhone.
The water was chest high when he started to question his decision.
"What the heck did I do?" he said he remembers asking himself. "Why am I here?"
Tracie Balk, a third-floor resident of Gardens Plaza high-rise at Boardwalk and Third Street, also remained on the island during the storm.
"I'm in this big building," she said of her reason for staying. "If the water gets to (floor) three, I figured we're all dead anyway."
Despite the spectacular photos she was able to capture of the ocean surging under the boardwalk and the dunes being washed away, she said she would not repeat the experience.
"I definitely would not stay again," she said. "We saw what happened 60 miles up the road. We were blessed the eye passed over us."
Cooper, a resident of the 800 block of Park Place and a neighbor of Walton's, assured Walton that floodwaters would not reach their homes. Even after the storm passed, he struggled to accept that his 110-year-old home, which had not been flooded in the 1944 hurricane or the March '62 nor'easter, had taken on water from Sandy.
"I was in denial," he said, explaining that he started cleaning up his garage before his home. "I didn't want to deal with it."
Three months after Sandy struck, Cooper said he has received $32,000 in insurance money for $70,000 in damages.
"It's a learning experience that's probably going to cost me money," he said, "but I'm going to have a new home, or at least a new first floor, when it's over."
Doug Bergen concluded the first-person testimonials with a slide show of photos he took during his three-day stay on the island. One of his photos was of the digital sign on the Tabernacle grounds, flashing the unintentionally ironic message, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow."
Wearing a wetsuit and carrying his camera in a plastic bag, Bergen traversed the island Sunday through Tuesday, providing eye-witness accounts to people who had evacuated. A resident of the mainland, Bergen said his decision to ride out another hurricane would depend upon whether he had somewhere to stay.
Cooper invited Marty Mozzo, a resident of MerionPark, to speak about his neighborhood's experience, and Dick Stanislaw, president of Ocean City Tabernacle, to speak of his. Both men evacuated for the storm.
Mozzo said he was among the lucky few in low-lying MerionPark to avoid water in his living quarters, but needed only to look at his neighbors' personal possessions piled on the curbs to realize the depth of the storm's damage.
"They lost everything," he said. "It breaks my heart."
Stanislaw spoke of how the storm brought out the best in people, how churches in town worked together to help as many in need as quickly as possible, and how volunteers from other states continue to offer their services as cleanup efforts continue.
"I'm glad I live here," he said. "It's a remarkable community."

Gossip Girl (2007–2012)
Plot Summary
Gossip Girl follows the lives of priveledged teenagers on the upper east side. Serena Van Der Woodsen is a blonde and beautiful socialite, Everyone knows Serena. Blair Waldorf is Serena's best friend but it's always about Serena not Blair. Nate Archibald is Blair's boyfriend but ever since Serena came back from boarding school Nate has been acting strange? Chuck Bass a rich and arrogant person. Daniel Humphrey a loney boy from Brooklyn, NY who no body knows. Follow the lives of this guilty pleasure show.
Welcome to New York's Upper East side where the wealthy and connected mingle at benefits and try to deal with their always dramatic love lives, not to mention picking colleges. Blair Waldorf is the so-called toast of adolescence in her world; she and her friends, Kati Farkas and Isabel Coates, go to a prep school and fancy parties with their rich parents. Blair is envied by her adversaries because she is thought to have the perfect life, not just because of her gorgeous boyfriend, Nate Archibald, but because she's also planning on getting into her dream college, Yale. With everyone worried about college(or procrastinating on worrying, which everyone seems to be doing), and junior year dragging along, her seemingly perfect life is interrupted by her ex-best friend, the beautiful Serena van der Woodsen, coming back into town after getting kicked out of boarding school. Serena comes back into her life, and into the eyes of Blair's boy friend. When everything Blair knows starts to fall apart, everyone will realize that her life is far from perfect. Will life in the the Upper East Side redeem itself of what it's really supposed to be?

And just maybe Jenny and Dan are all the more happy with their simple, not so expectant lives.- Written by Jessica Cymerman

Future of Nursing Initiative
FRIDAY, Jan. 14 (HealthDay News) -- The prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) diagnosed in American patients who receive hemodialysis is rising and is associated with considerably increased mortality, according to research published online Jan. 13 in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Wolfgang C. Winkelmayer, M.D., of Harvard Medical School in Boston, and colleagues analyzed yearly cohorts from 1992 to 2006 of hemodialysis patients from the United States Renal Data System to determine the prevalence of AF.
The researchers found that of 2,483,199 patient observations, 7.7 percent had AF, and the prevalence of AF increased from 3.5 percent in 1992 to 10.7 percent in 2006. The number of affected patients rose from 3,620 to 23,893 during this time. There was an association between increased risk for AF with older age, male gender, and several comorbid conditions. AF was more prevalent among Caucasians than among blacks, Asians, and Native Americans. Hemodialysis patients with AF had a one-year mortality rate of 39 percent, versus 19 percent in those without AF; this higher risk was constant throughout the study.
"Given the ever-increasing number of patients with ESRD [end stage renal disease] in the United States and elsewhere, greater attention should be paid to identifying potentially modifiable risk factors for AF that may be specific to patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed ties to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.

More than 40 years ago, the doors to Fountain Car Wash & Lube's full-service car wash tunnel opened to reveal a slew of heavy bristle brushes. Since then, the tunnel has been refurbished with soft cloths, high-pressure water jets, mild cleaning detergents, clear-coat waxes, and touchless dryers that blow away any remaining water droplets before they attract thirsty cops. The car wash works in tandem with the detail shop, where seasoned technicians shampoo interiors and revivify paint jobs with biodegradable waxes, Rain-X, and Simoniz double-bond paint sealer. In 1995, the staff added a full-service lube shop, an authorized Valvoline Express Care outlet that features transmission flushes, tire rotations, oil changes, and complimentary checkups in between services.
For more than 20 years, the certified technicians at DEKRA Emission Check have done one thing and done it well: superfast Georgia-state vehicle-emissions inspections. Although most patrons choose to stay in the car and alphabetize their eight-track collection during the typically five-minute inspection, many of the growing list of almost 30 Atlanta-area locations feature an indoor lounge for auto owners to kick back in. If a vehicle?s emissions exceed the regulated limit, the team advises drivers of their options and performs a free retest at a later date.
Since its creation in 1925, DEKRA Emission Check?s umbrella company, DEKRA, has grown to include more than 30,000 employees in 50 countries. In addition to having performed more than three million vehicle inspections in the United States, the larger business offers services such as expert appraisals, industrial product testing and certifications, and management-system certifications.
Xpress Shine Car Wash's automated tunnel is designed to re-create the gentle touch of human hands—if human hands were able to wash an entire car in three minutes. As vehicles start along the 125-foot conveyor, a biodegradable, high-lubricity foam begins to break up dirt and grime. The eco-friendly system then deploys recycled, low-pressure water and strategically placed cloth ribbons made from spa robes in place of brushing, blasting, or harsh chemicals. Optional surface protectants and a powerful air-dryer array finish the process, after which drivers can use free high-powered vacuums to get the inside as clean as the outside.
Boasting numerous civic and environmental awards, Autobell Car Wash burnishes weather-beaten buggies with an array of services that restore lost luster while employing planet-friendly conservation policies. Quick and comprehensive, the full-service wash includes a full interior and exterior cleansing in 15 minutes or less. A friendly car cleanser vacuums the inside before sluicing and scrubing the outside, finishing with a hand-administered wipe down. Windows, wheels, and tires also receive a treatment. Before unleashing sexy four-wheeled supermodels to twist and turn on the asphalt runways, Autobell guarantees satisfaction or they will rewash the automobile for free.
All Season's full-service washes and Valvoline lube services help keep motorized family members looking and feeling fresh all year long. Retain the value of your car's precious metal exterior by opting for three gold washes ($24.95 per wash), each of which will begin with a thorough bathing of your automobile's outer shell, wheels, and undercarriage to dislodge road grime and peasants. Next, a rust inhibitor will be applied to protect vulnerable areas against oxidation, while a clear-coat protectant and triple clear-coat treatment will leave the car's coat sleek, shiny, and safe from the elements. Once your car's casing is properly scrubbed and shimmered, technicians will hand dry the exterior and door jambs, apply tire dressing, wash the windows, and vacuum and dust the interior. An air freshener will then be added to conjure fond memories of when cars ran on repurposed Christmas trees instead of gasoline.
Whether inside their two facilities' work bays or on location in area driveways, Dunwoody Detailing & Window Tint's technicians orchestrate automotive makeovers with hand wash and detailing sessions. Cars can let cleanses come to them, with mobile crews hauling equipment within a 12-mile radius of zip code 30324. Two decades of window-tinting experience guides glass tech's steady hands as they accent vehicles and businesses with film chosen from a wide selections of shades and styles. In addition to tech-performed services, the facility helps drivers restock supplies for at-home care, packing its shop with more than 200 commercial-grade products including Blue Tire Shine, Carnauba wax, and the password that unlock each city's secret radio stations.

Dell Inspiron 15R
I'm used to seeing Dell laptops and PCs that are as dull as mud, so the rather attractive-looking Inspiron 15R sample came as a shock. The lid comes in a choice of red, pink, blue or black while the deck of the chassis surrounding the keyboard is chromed. Dell Inspiron 15R The power button and activity lights use subdued …
"The layout leaves something to be desired as two of the USB 2.0 ports are inconveniently located on the rear of the chassis along with the power connector"
Personally I hate the current trend for putting all the connections on the side of the laptop. which then means you've got wires all over the place rather than neatly out the back.
As a laptop user who's laptop sits on a desk most of the day, a couple of ports at the back is handy for those things which remain plugged in all day, e.g. mouse, mobile internet dongle, external hard drive.
The extra USB ports on the side you can then keep free for things like usb memory stick which you want instant access to.

The nation's air traffic control
system is vulnerable to hack-attacks, according to a government
audit -- and the FAA is now scrambling to secure some of its most
vital computers against cyber-terrorists.
SecurityFocus reports at least 20 Air Route Traffic Control
Centers, responsible for directing high-altitude traffic
nationwide, have inadequate computer security. "While having
limited exposure to the general public, en route center computer
systems need to be better protected," said the DOT Inspector
General's report, dated October 1st. "FAA needs to commit to
reviewing all operational air traffic control systems -- at en
route, approach control, and airport terminal facilities."
What little the FAA has done to secure its IT systems to date
also came under fire in the IG's report. For example, we found that
FAA checked vulnerabilities on major computer servers but not on
end-user computers," it said. "As a result, tens of thousands of
workstations on its networks have not been checked for
The FAA's response? "The FAA has made significant progress in
its information security program," said agency spokeswoman Tammy
Jones. "We do concur with the Inspector General's report that more
needs to be done, so we continue to work on our systems."

Data Privacy Month
Data Privacy Month (DPM) is an annual effort to empower people to protect their privacy and control their digital footprint, as well as escalate the protection of privacy and data as everyone's priority. Data Privacy Month will be celebrated in 2014 starting with Data Privacy Day on January 28 and running through February 28. Spend the month helping to ensure your campus community is respecting privacy, safeguarding data, and enabling trust. Visit the Data Privacy Month website for examples of campus activities, as well as archived recordings of previous webinars. It's never to early to begin planning your institution's efforts!
Privacy in a Networked Environment
With the explosive growth of electronic networks and wide accessibility of online information, EDUCAUSE members -- along with many other higher education constituencies -- are dealing with a formidable set of privacy issues. A key set of issues revolves around the handling of student information, which under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) of 1974 enjoys special protection.

Big Bear, Ca, August 15, 2011 -
August has so far been an outstanding month for events in the Big Bear Valley with thousands of people attending signature events such as the Big Bear Air Fair, and the Big Bear Lake Antique Car Club Fun Run. This past weekend the fun run attracted more than 5,000 people to the Village of Big Bear Lake to see nearly 500 antique cars from roadsters, hot rods, classics and antiques, line the streets of the village, and make their way around the lake. Over 2,000 people ventured over to the Renaissance Faire in Fawnskin for Elizabethan era entertainment. If you missed the Renaissance Faire last weekend, you are in luck as it will continue this weekend in Fawnskin, with a special sword fighting demonstration added to the list of entertianment for Sunday. Over at the Big Bear City Airport 79 kids participated in the Young Eagles program, and all children were taken on plane rides in small 2 and 4 seater planes. For the active crowd over 40 people participated in the Butler Peak hike, part of the Seven Summits hike series. The August fun will continue this weekend with the Cowboy Gathering at the Performing Arts Center, and Art on the Lake at the Marina Resort. For more information on upcoming events visit EventsInBigBear.com or BigBearNews.com and visit our event calendar.

NEW YORK - Jay Leno kept the jokes coming his second night back on the air, even as the striking writers union and his network sparred over whether he was violating union rules by writing his monologues.
WASHINGTON - Hiring practically stalled in December, driving the nation's unemployment rate up to a two-year high of 5 percent and fanning fears of a recession.
GILBERT, Ariz. - Before she lets them shoot her little pink stun gun, Dana Shafman ushers her new friends to the living room sofa for a serious chat about the fears she believes they all share.
SAN FRANCISCO - A Silicon Valley startup is promising to blanket San Francisco with free wireless Internet service, reviving a crusade that crumbled last year after two much larger companies, EarthLink Inc. and Google Inc., scrapped their plans to build a high-speed network for Web surfing.
CARACAS, Venezuela - A plane carrying 14 people crashed into the sea Friday on its way to Venezuela's Los Roques islands, officials said. Eight Italians and one American were believed on board, but there was no immediate report on casualties.

There are three options to consider when refinancing:
Forest Heights Pharmacy, located at 4439 Country Club Road, was founded by the late Joel Sikes in 2006. He was a long time Brooklet resident. Joel sold the business to Ben Ross in 2008 after he became ill. Ben is a second generation pharmacist/pharmacy owner who grew up working in his dad's pharmacy, Ross Drug, in Sylvania. Ben, his wife, Lauren and their two girls, Lanie and Lucy Kate, are active Bulloch County residents.
In 2006, Angie Hitchens and Brandon Blair founded 180 fitness. Angie had managed Gold's Gym for 10 years prior to its closing and Brandon was an employee of Gold's. Together they have a commitment at 180 to bring our community together through fitness and wellness.

This stylish resort has a private beach on the Caribbean coast and a marina on the Nichupté Lagoon. It offers outdoor pools and elegant rooms and suites with panoramic views.
Score from 384 reviews Very good
A great alternative to the monstrous super hotels in the hotel zone. Quiet, smart little suites in a cul de sac just of the main road. HUGE place (we played football in our room) with nice balcony and pool. Walk to the supermarket and beaches.
The kitchen area came without a hot plate, which would have been fine had we not assumed it did and bought bacon and eggs. Pool was a tiny bit unclean but nothing to worry about.
The start were very friendly The look area beside the lagoon is very nice. its just stroll away from main square of Cancun.
Our standard room wasn't nicely decorated, rather old furnishing...
Located in a quiet area. 20 min walk to the centre of hotel zone, or a quick 10 pesos bus ride. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again.
budget friendly, location is okay, clean, staff are nice, nice view behind the hotel, the staff is friendly, also the owner.
if you go with a tour to chichen itza for example, they will drop you in the street, since the place is a bit further from main streetl it s lucky if they drop you at the right street.
Very conveniently located, Great view of the lake and nice pool. All your basic needs are covered. If you don't want to spend too much on accommodations, this is a great option.
Not the comfiest beds and no desk, everything else was good!
Comfortable bed, clean, quiet room. Nice pool with a great view of the bay. Helpful staff.
No stove or microwave in the room. However the staff was helpful in getting my food heated in the restaurant---for free! Weak wi-Fi signal.
Very relaxing place and within walking distance to everything you need.
Pool overlooking lake
Stayed 1 night - being rushed by cleaning staff at 1030am - to check out( check out time was 1 pm)- knocked 2 x Asked front desk for towels to use in pool and even after giving my name insisted in front if other customers that I was NOT a hotel customer - so I said - impossible as I checked in yesterday and that they should check their records - he checked - still said NO- ask him to recheck -No apologies for his mistake -Makes me wonder how they keep track of customers Their restaurant - claims they have no change as I paid in cash - I did not want to use a credit card for security reasons - so restaurant decided to keep extra. 200 pesos plus change - takes away from customers wanting to tip on their own It is the principal of it all !!!
the size pool located right outside our rooms helpful staff
The bed has bed bugs very old hotel
Best value for the hotel zone! Rooms are minimal but comfortable (with AC), the grounds are lovely and well-maintained; the view of the lagoon is especially nice. The staff were very helpful but unintrusive. Delicious and cheap taquerias (with legit Mexican food- why is that so hard to find in cancun?!) within walking distance! And, the restaurant next to the pool serves a delicious breakfast (but a little pricey, as most things in the hotel zone are).
My only complaint is that the poolside bar closes in the evening, which is when I want it to be open the most! We were pretty disappointed by that. Otherwise, this place is an excellent value for the cost- just don't come expecting a luxury resort, and you won't be disappointed!
Sina Suites location is probably the best thing about the place. It's a 15 minute walk to the main strip where all the clubs and bars are, and all the restaurants. And when you've had enough of hotel zone you can catch the R1 or R2 right into Cancun town, to get a real feel of Qunitana Roo. The staff here were great, offering all kinds of help when we needed it. The rooms were nice, a bit dated but they did the job. And the pool are is great, although the pool was a bit dirty at times.
The restaurant on site is okay but we noticed out portions started to get smaller and smaller as the days went on.
nice staff, friendly environement, decent price
no access to the beach
The rooms and beds are so olds and need mantenaince or remodelation. Don't have room service, even for water.
The receptionists are really nice and helpful!!!=)))
Great staff, nice pool, out of the hustle and bustle.
It was all fairly good.
Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Recommending us shopping malls to go to, calling taxis for us and even lending us an umbrella to use in the heavy rain. They went above and beyond.
The location was kind of in the middle of no where, the room was dark and creepy and the beds were very uncomfortable.
The fact that the price was low while still available in the Zone Hotelera.
The lack of shuttle access to the beaches and to free breakfast; the lack of working refrigerator and complimentary shampoo/conditioner.
The staff was extremly nice and helpful and we can turn for help 24/7. The hotel located just 10 minutes of walking from the hotel center of cancun where all the clubs are, coco bongo and such. The room was nice and comfortable
The location and the courtesy of the receptionanists and the employees.
There were no wash towels
Great location!!
The wifi wasn't really working in the room.
It was cheap. This is a reasonable place to stay if you're looking for something inexpensive for a family in Cancun, and willing to drive to the beach.
It was difficult to find, and the location isn't great. The rooms were a little run-down. But it met my expectations.
Room is not comfort and neat, not much facility in the room - no dryer, microwave, coffee maker, et al.
Staff was superb.
Not as nice as a expected for a suite for 4 guests.
Staff was very nice.
The place has bed bugs. Take them off your list. You have to walk 6 blocks for transportation. Bed are hard, like plywood.
There was an issue with hot water that disappeared sometimes

At more than 30 locations in the Houston area, clients check in at marble-fronted reception desks to meet with a member of Darque Tan's International Smart Tan Network—staff trained to determine the best path to their bronzing goals. Sessions take place in private rooms that line a column-flanked hallway, where five different levels of UV beds give skin the perfect level of tanning. Mystic Tan and VersaSpa sunless-tanning systems imbue clients with a hydrating, natural-looking glow, which can be customized according to skin tone, desired shade, and spirit animal. A full-time cleaning staff keeps each center in pristine conditions by referencing a 50-point inspection system. Most locations have books, televisions, and kids' play areas to keep children entertained while adults are bronzing.
Affordable Laser & MedSpa's technicians usher in the next generation of aesthetic trends by surfing the crest of beauty technology. At two locations, they draw upon an arsenal of lasers, SkinCeuticals serums, and beauty injectables to help reverse time's effects on the face and to carve bodies into more slender, smoother versions of themselves. Their Candela laser systems, for example, remove unwanted hair from all skin types by penetrating the epidermal surface without damage and heating up the hair root. And that targeted efficiency continues throughout their other treatments, such as LipoDissolve, which uses microinjections to break down localized fat deposits, and microdermabrasion, in which a diamond-tipped wand exfoliates the very outer layer of skin cells to leave faces smoother and more radiant than Don Juan wearing a fluorescent leisure suit.

Remember last week, when everyone got excited for Potash Corp. (POT), Mosaic (MOS) and CF Industries (CF) after Uralkali was forced to shut a mine? They're not looking so excited anymore after Uralkali said it would start to repair the mine. Reuters has the details:
Russia's Uralkali , the world's biggest potash producer, is preparing to start repair work at part of the damaged Solikamsk-2 mine, though it is unclear when output of the fertiliser will restart.
Production at the mine was halted last week after an inflow of water at the mine, which accounts for a fifth of the company's output and 3.5 percent of global capacity, and a huge sinkhole appeared at a nearby mine as a result.
As a result, shares of Mosaic have fallen 3.1% to $45.73 at 2:03 p.m., while Potash Corp. has dropped 5.6% to $34.59 and CF Industries has declined 0.7% to $276.43. Last week they gained 4.6%, 9% and 4.6%, respectively.
KBW's Frederick Cannon and Matthew Dinneen note that U.S. universal banks like Citigroup (C), JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Wells Fargo (WFC) and Bank of America (BAC) have had a good year, having gained 11% so far in 2014, easily topping the gains from in their European counterparts. But are they too expensive? Cannon and Dinneen don't think so. They explain why:
U.S. banks' P/Es are now roughly 120% of European banks' P/E valuations. However, while this relative valuation is near the highest it has been in the past two years, it is below the level it reached in 2011 and 2012 during the European financial crisis. Given the current economic outlook—with consensus U.S. GDP growth above Europe—the relative valuation of U.S. banks does not necessarily look excessive…
U.S. banks have made recent highs on P/TBV; however, unlike P/E, P/TBV values are still well below where they were in 2010. On a relative basis crisis. Overall, we would again argue that the U.S. valuations don't seem meaningfully stretched on a relative basis given the difference in economic performance in the U.S. and Europe.
Shares of Citigroup have gained 1% to $54.20 at 1:45 p.m., while Bank of America is little changed at $17.11, JPMorgan Chase has advanced 0.6% to $60.79 and Wells Fargo is up 0.4% at $54.
Shares of Smith & Nephew (SNN) have soared today on reports that Stryker (SYK) might consider a bid for the English medical-device maker. JPMorgan's Michael Weinstein and team consider what a deal might look like:
Assuming (1) a 30-35% premium for Smith & Nephew relative to the unaffected price, (2) that Stryker uses 80% cash and 20% stock, (3) that the acquisition is not an inversion, and (4) that it closes in 2H15, we believe an Stryker acquisition of Smith & Nephew could be at least 7-8% accretive to 2016 Cash EPS, rising to 11% in 2017 and 13% in 2018. Contrary to our views a few months back, we think Stryker is unlikely to pursue Smith & Nephew as an inversion (50/50 mix of cash & stock), but would be more likely to use a combination of OUS cash, US debt, and limited stock (20% of deal compensation). The biggest swing factor in any accretion analysis beyond the cash/stock mix is Stryker's ability to leverage its own tax structure for Smith & Nephew's benefit (700bps spread between Stryker & Smith & Nephew).
But even if Stryker wants to pursue a bid, a deal for Smith & Nephew is no sure thing. Weinstein looks at the roadblocks standing in the way of a consummated deal:
The biggest questions facing any potential Stryker bid for Smith & Nephew are (1) what would it take to get Smith & Nephew on board – as Smith & Nephew, in our view, is not looking to sell; and (2) could an Stryker-Smith & Nephew combination win US & EU anti-trust approval? What remedies, if any, would be required given what could be a highly concentrated market at that point? And with a Zimmer Holdings (ZMH)-Biomet deal still 3 months from closing, could an Stryker bid for Smith & Nephew influence the anti-trust authorities' review of that deal prior to closing?
Shares of Stryker have risen 1% to $90.97 at 1:01 p.m., while Smith & Nephew has gained 3.7% to $35.91 and Zimmer Holdings has dropped 0.5% to $109.96.
Seadrill (SDRL) is scheduled to release its financial results on Wednesday–and Morgan Stanley's Ole Slorer and team think the offshore-drilling giant could use the opportunity to cut its dividend:
Seadrill/North Atlantic Drilling (NADL) could announce dividend cuts this Wed. Both stocks are already trading at elevated yields, with investors appearing to prefer balance sheet flexibility vs. a full payout model at this stage of the cycle.
Seadrill has a dividend yield of nearly 19%, according to Yahoo!, while North Atlantic Drilling's yields 30%.
The folks at Zacks think Seadrill might have trouble beating earnings:
Our proven model does not conclusively show that SeaDrill is likely to beat earnings estimates this quarter. This is because a stock needs to have both a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1, 2 or 3 for this to happen. This is not the case here, as you will see below:
Zacks ESP: Earnings ESP, which represents the difference between the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate, is currently pegged at 0.00%. This is because both the Most Accurate estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate stand at 68 cents.
Zacks Rank: SeaDrill currently has a Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell). We caution against stocks with a Zacks Rank #4 and 5 (Sell-rated stocks) going into the earnings announcement, especially when the company is seeing negative estimate revisions.
Shares of Seadrill have fallen 1.9% to $20.95 at 12:38 p.m. today, while North Atlantic Drilling has dropped 4.6% to $3.32.
BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN) agreed to purchase Prosensa (RNA) for up to $850 million, in an acquisition Leerink's Joseph P. Schwartz and Paul Matteis call "courageous." They explain why:
While somewhat risky ahead of a potential drisapersen advisory committee in mid-2015, we believe the deal is a great bargain for Biomarin who could potentially be paying less than 1.5x peak sales on drisapersen (not including other exon skippers) if the drug is able to attain regulatory approval…
We believe the deal price is a great bargain for BioMarin if it can get drisapersen over the goal line with the FDA/EMA. In our Prosensa model we derive a $37 price target for Prosensa if drisapersen attains accelerated approval in the US/Europe and approval for Sarepta Therapeutics' (SRPT) eteplirsen is delayed until 2016/2017. Our analysis assumes ~$600MM in gross drisapersen sales in 2024 and that the company splits the market with Sarepta Therapeutics in the US and garners majority share in Europe. For BioMarin, this could be conservative if Sarepta Therapeutics is never able to get to market, and eteplirsen's outlook has recently become less clear after FDA asked Sarepta Therapeutics for more data. Meanwhile, while BioMarin does not market any drugs that are marketed to the same physician call point, we'd expect at least some potential synergies with Prosensa (upside to the above valuation analysis) given the fact that BioMarin has already established a WW rare disease selling infrastructure.
Shares of BioMarin have gained 1.5% to $87.13 at 12:17 p.m. today, while Prosensa has surged 63% to $18.66 and Sarepta has jumped 7.2% to $16.86.
Tesla Motors' (TSLA) Elon Musk told a German magazine that the upstart automaker is in talks with German automaker BMW in regards to a possible battery and car-part partnership. Reuters has the details:
U.S. electric carmaker Tesla Motors is in talks with Germany's BMW over a possible collaboration in batteries and lightweight components, Tesla's Chief Executive Elon Musk told German weekly Der Spiegel.
In an interview published on Sunday, Musk described BMW's production of carbon fibre reinforced car body parts as "interesting" and "relatively cost efficient."
Investors aren't sure what to make of the chatter, however. Tesla's shares opened up 1%, traded down as much as 0.9% and is up 0.4% at $243.85 at 11:49 a.m.
Last week, oil rebounded strongly thanks, in part, to a rate cut in China. But what oil if prices have further to fall?
That's what keeps the folks at Societe Generale awake at night–and they think there's a real possibility of lower oil prices as well. They explain why:
There is a real possibility that the Saudis are going to do exactly what they have said so far – in other words, that markets and prices will cut production, not Saudi Arabia and not OPEC. This is much more than a 5% tail risk. This is a 40% chance that this could really happen. Our data shows that most shale oil output in the three key shale regions (the Bakken, the Eagle Ford and the Permian) has a breakeven cost around $65/bbl. So if the market were to drive prices down to the point where it sees US output actually start to contract, we are potentially talking about Brent at $70 and WTI at $60-65.
If that were to occur, Societe Generale's Irene Himona and team recommend "bottom fishing" in European oil majors. They explain why:
Despite the 24% sector US$ earnings reduction in 2015-16e, in an $85/bbl world, we would advise "bottom fishing": the sector offers more sustainable dividends than in the last oil price crash, stronger balance sheets/liquidity, and reasonable valuations
after the recent correction. We note that in the 2009 crash only the three super majors in Europe (Royal Dutch Shell (RDS.A), BP (BP), Total (TOT)) maintained dividends unchanged – the other six all cut them.
Not everyone's feeling so optimistic about oil majors today, however. As I noted in my Morning Movers post, Raymond James downgraded ExxonMobil (XOM) and Chevron (CVX).
Stocks appear set for a higher open this morning after rising last week.
S&P 500 futures have gained 0.3%, while Dow Jones Industrial Average futures have risen 0.2%. Nasdaq Composite futures have advanced 0.3%.
United Technologies (UTX) has fallen 1.2% to $109.03 after the industrial giant said its CEO would retire immediately.
Chevron (CVX) has dropped 0.4% to $118.58 after Raymond James cut its rating to Outperform from Strong Buy and ExxonMobil (XOM) has fallen 0.4% to after Raymond James downgraded too, to Market Perform from Outperform.
Prosensa Holding (RNA) has surged 62% to $18.58 after BioMarin Pharmaceutical (BMRN) offered to purchase it for $840 million. BioMarin has dropped 2.1% to $84.
Even with sure things, there's no sure thing. Consider the fate of the new Hunger Games movie, Mockingjay — Part 1, the first part of the two part conclusion to the entire saga. BoxOfficeMojo had estimated that the film could take in $148 million over the weekend, but that was before we knew that the film pulled in just $17 million on Thursday night despite opening at 8pm. That caused the folks at BoxOfficeMojo to write that "Mockingjay absolutely should have earned more than this," and all but writing off its chances for a $150 million weekend. Could mixed review be to blame? Grantland's Wesley Morris, for one, praises Mockingjay for making you "feel as if something's at stake in this world," even if he resents how it ends (you'll have to see the film to find out), while Chris Vognar of the Dallas News writes that once "you accept that the splitting of Mockingjay is a business decision, not a dramatic imperative, Part 1 comes off as a curiously satisfying nonaction movie." One that might still end up a disappointment.
Remember that when watching the stock market continue its rally almost unabated. The S&P 500 gained 1.2% to 2,063.50 this week, a new record high, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1% to 17,810.06, also a record. The Nasdaq Composite advanced 0.5% to 4,712.97, its highest close since March 2000 and the small-company Russell 2000 ticked up 0.1% to 1,172.42.
Even more amazingly, every downdraft in the market was met with a response that pushed the S&P 500 back near positive territory, something that happened on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. It got to the point that by Thursday morning, Rhino Trading's Michael Block looked at the futures–they were down–and predicted they'd by up by 10:06 a.m. He was right. And on Friday it was off to the races after China cut interest rates and the ECB's Mario Draghi sounded readier than ever to start buying government bonds.
At these moments, it's tempting to get complacent–something Schwab's Liz Ann Sonders and team warn again:
Being a bull seems pretty easy with regard to US stocks. The near-correction of mid-October is a distant memory, new records for major indexes are being set on a regular basis, November and December traditionally have been quite positive for the stock market, and the third year of presidential terms is historically the best.
We, too, believe the longer-term trend is higher, but risks exist and more bouts of weakness and volatility like in October are possible. One near-term concern—sentiment, which tends to be a contrary indicator, is elevated, with the Ned Davis Research Crowd Sentiment Poll in extremely optimistic territory. Using sentiment as a timing tool isn't a great idea, especially with regard to the optimistic side, but it does suggest the market may be more vulnerable to negative catalysts. Additionally, foreign growth remains a concern, although exports make up only 13% of US gross domestic product (GDP), potentially limiting the impact on the United States of modest weakness overseas.
Deutsche Bank's David Bianco and team see weakness overseas posing challenges for S&P 500 earnings:
Given the challenges in many world regions, we think any acceleration in global growth will be muted despite US acceleration. We think a stronger US economy, stronger US consumer and dollar purchasing power provides significant help abroad. But if changes in oil prices are thought of as income transfers in a zero-sum sense globally, then real income is unchanged globally and lower oil prices will likely reduce capex incentives in many regions. We are convinced that weak oil prices will weigh on S&P 500 capex growth and curb overall US capex acceleration in 2015. Soft commodity complex capex and US exports will be a big challenge to Industrial Capital Goods companies in 2015.
Citigroup's Tobias Levkovich isn't so sure:
The Energy sector's effect on either market trend or earnings is not as significant as many might perceive. While many investors have been raising the issue of the plunge in oil prices and its potential influence on earnings, capital spending, employment trends, equity markets and consumer activity, reviewing the data suggests that it is not the end all. Indeed, there are offsetting factors like consumer-related business versus energy profits not to mention valuation…
Energy accounts for less than 12% of S&P 500 earnings and the sector comprise roughly 8.5% of the broad market capitalization. The energy segment contributed less than 15% of overall market profits for the most part going back more than 20 years and is below 12% currently. In contrast, the sector topped out at more than 25% during the misguided "peak oil" perspective of 2008/09. Notably, it often rises during recessions as a proportion of aggregate earnings since more cyclical domestic businesses suffer and the drivers for incremental hydrocarbon demand have moved offshore.
Let the games begin.
Yesterday, Sanofi hosted a seminar on new medicines in Cambridge, Mass., and RBC's Adnan Butt and team note that MannKind's (MNKD) inhaled insulin Afrezza "featured prominently enough." They summarize the highlights of the presentation:
MannKind's partner reiterated prior guidance that a commercial launch is planned for 1Q:15. Some had feared this timing could be retracted. In terms of pricing, Sanofi underscored that the benchmark could be rapid acting, injectable insulin, which is in line with our forecasts…
Focus on patients driving demand also important. As part of launch prep, Sanofi has conducted patient preference studies which show 60% of those starting insulin and 57% of those who need more insulin liking Afrezza's profile. The market opportunity could be meaningful given 66% of patients resist moving to injected insulin with the period of resistance being ~5 years. Patients described as the initial candidates for Afrezza include those who are on two or more oral agents and resisting moving on to injectable insulin and those who need meal-time insulin, where combined patient populations could be ~3M. Even adjusting for smokers or those with pulmonary disorders shows the opportunity remains sizable but where
greater Street confidence could require execution for a few quarters post launch.
Among other highlights: Sanofi demonstrated how much easier Mannkind's Afrezza is to use compared to Pfizer's (PFE) infamous flop Exubera, Butt said, and that Sanofi was in negotiations with the FDA over post-approval studies that could expand Afrezza's use.
Shares of MannKind have dropped 0.7% to $6.11 at 1:52 p.m. today, while Sanofi has risen 0.8% to $46.95 and Pfizer has fallen 0.4% to $30.31.

Last XI: With one eye on Tuesday, Guardiola fielded a slightly weakened side against Hoffenheim with reserve goalkeeper Tom Starke starting behind a back four of Rafinha, Dante, van Buyten and Contento. The midfield had a more familiar look with Schweinsteiger and Thiago anchoring and Gömez, Shaqiri and Ribery providing the ammunition for lone forward Claudio Pizarro.
Betting: Official betting partners bwin have priced United to win the first leg at odds of 6.00 and Bayern at 1.45, while the draw is at a reasonable 4.60. In terms of winning on aggregate, you can back the Reds at 6.50 and Pep Guardiola's side at 1.09.
Last meeting: Back in April 2010, Bayern wrecked United's hopes of reaching a third successive Champions League final by triumphing on away goals at Old Trafford. Darren Gibson and Nani (2) put the Reds 3-0 up at half-time, before goals from Ivica Olić and Arjen Robben proved decisive after the break.
The manager: Pep Guardiola is widely regarded as one of the finest managers in world football, having guided Barcelona to two Champions League titles and 11 other major trophies during his four-season reign at Camp Nou. The former Spain international left the Catalan club in 2012 and took a year out of football, before joining Bayern at the beginning of this season. He has since guided the club to the UEFA Super Cup, the FIFA Club World Cup and the Bundesliga title.
Star man: Despite contributing heavily to Bayern's five-trophy haul during 2013, Franck Ribery finished third in the running for FIFA's Ballon d'Or award, an annual prize that is given to the world's best player.


text: What a win — the most exciting of the year: gritty, exciting, dynamic. There was so much on the line: a win streak, a playoff race, the Drummond/Dion rivalry, Mike Brown's emerging facial hair… Would Kyrie wear another goofy shirt? Could the Cavs keep winning without him? Could Cleveland execute a late game inbounds play? Dion Waiters answered those last two questions and more.

Cold Fusion
I wrote this up to provide a list of all the characters, where they come from, and who they are associated with. I'll update it with time, and I encourage anybody reading and finding mistakes/missing connections to please post so I can fix them right away.
I used all the lore I could think of, which was all the champion summaries, the 5 judgments, and the 4 Journal of Justice's that have been released so far. The characters that are associated with each other don't have reasons given, but they can be anywhere from enemies to friends to lovers and whatever else you can think of. Anyways, here it is:
Champion - Homeland - Associations
Akali - Ionian Isles - Shen, Kennen
Alistar - Great Barrier -
Amumu - Shurima Desert -
Anivia - Unknown > The Freljord - Nunu, Ashe, Tryndamere
Annie - Voodoo Lands -
Ashe - The Freljord - Tryndamere, Anivia, Nunu
Blitzcrank - Zaun - Singed
Cho'Gath - The Void (Icathia?) - Kassadin, Kog'Maw, Malzahar
Corki - Piltover - Heimerdinger
Dr. Mundo - Zaun - Warwick, Singed
Evelynn - Unknown - Twisted Fate
Ezreal - Piltover -
Fiddlesticks - Unknown -
Galio - Demacia - Poppy
Gangplank - Bilgewater - Miss Fortune
Garen - Demacia - Urgot, Katarina, Kayle

Heimerdinger - Piltover - Corki
Janna - Zaun -
Jax - Unknown - Gragas, Urf
Karthus - Howling Marsh -
Kassadin - The Void - Cho'Gath, Kog'Maw, Malzahar
Katarina - Noxus - Garen, Sion
Kayle - Unknown - Morgana, Garen
Kennen - Bandle City - Shen, Akali
Kog'Maw - Icathia - Malzahar, Cho'Gath, Kassadin
Malphite - The Monolith -
Malzahar - Shurima Desert/Icathia - Kog'Maw, Cho'Gath, Kassadin
Master Yi - Ionia - Singed
Miss Fortune - Blue Flame Islands - Gangplank
Mordekaiser - Shadow Isles -
Morgana - Unknown - Kayle
Nasus - Unknown -
Nidalee - Kumungu Jungle -
Nunu - The Freljord - Anivia, Ashe, Tryndamere
Olaf - Lockfar -
Pantheon - Mount Gargantuan -
Poppy - Bandle City (?) - Galio
Rammus - Plague Lands -
Ryze - Unknown -
Shaco - Unknown -
Shen - Unknown - Akali, Kennen
Singed - Zaun - Warwick, Blitzcrank, Master Yi, Mundo
Sion - Noxus - Katarina, Urgot
Sivir - Noxus -
Sona - Demacia -
Soraka - Ionia - Warwick
Taric - Unknown -
Teemo - Bandle City -

Veigar - Bandle City -
Vladimir - Noxus -
Warwick - Zaun - Singed, Soraka, Urf, Mundo

So, as all this shows, if all is correct, it means there are this many per category:
Ionia: 4
Great Barrier: 2
Shurima Desert: 1/2 (depending on how you count Malzahar)
Icathia/Void: 3/4 (depending on how you count Malzahar)
Zaun: 6
Noxus: 5
Demacia: 5
The Freljord: 2 (4 now that Anivia and Tryndamere have joined the city-state)
Voodoo Lands: 1
Piltover: 3
Bandle City: 5
Bilgewater/Islands: 2
Howling Marsh: 1
The Monolith: 1
Shadow Isles: 1
Kumungu Jungle: 1
Lockfar: 1
Mount Gargantuan: 1
Plague Lands: 1
Nomadic (roaming): 1
Urtistan: 1
Unknown: 11
Assuming of course my math is correct
Anyways, I'll end this post here since it's getting wayy too long. Feel free to comment and correct anything I posted, and I'll definitely be keeping this post up to date with new champions, journals, and any other lore updates.
Thanks for reading
Senior Member
Heimer says "the existence of twitch proves anything is possible in runeterra" so thats kind of implies he knows twitch
Anivia originally came from an "icy world" and then moved to the Northern ironspike Mountains and is assosciated with Nunu and Ashe
And i think Soraka is assosciated with yi, btw nice thread.
Would you think that Alistar could have ties with Xin Xao. Were'nt they both noxian gladitorial fighters? just putting that out there.
Wanted to make similar thread myself, but on diffrent point. In recent Journals of Justice there was talk about Trynd Joining forces with Ashe, anti-yordle movements in Nosus and such, and it all seems like trying to pin every champion to faction and separate them.
Since you've phrased it "orgin" it's a bit diffrent. Tryndamere has nomadic orgin but currently he's on the same side as Ashe/Nunu/Anivia
And if we're talking about sides, there is probably another side, simply League. Fiddlestick is locked in one of League buildings, Jax just like to fight, Olaf wan't to return home, they don't have any special feelings about Noxus/Demacia/other.
Would be interesting to see game mode based on lore, at least in "faction wars"
YAY for Piltover! =D
i'd so live there lol
@ Seasonal: I'm still not sure if that implies a connection between the two for sure, though. I appreciate the comment though, things like that are what I want to hear
@ Valiet: I can't remember if Alistar was a Noxian gladiator but I'm pretty sure he was something like a gladiator. Still, that doesn't give him a for sure connection to Xin.
@Raele: I wasn't aware Nunu and Anivia were helping Ashe, just Tryndamere. I never saw that, do you know the link to it? I'm interested in seeing it
So WW is associated with Urf, but Urf's idol Jax is not? Wha?
Anivia has also formed a bond with Ashe and Nunu.
Quote: Surprisingly, Anivia has struck up a friendship with the yeti of this region - a friendship that grows deeper and deeper with each passing moon. She has formed a close bond with two League champions: Nunu (and Willump) and the nomad princess Ashe.
Master Yi has a strong connection to Warwick or Singed, can't remember which.
They killed his village.

The Travel Channel hosts celebrate back-to-school time by sharing their school pictures and memories.Filed under:
Adam Richman, Man v. Food Nation
"In undergrad at Emory, I was introduced to the man who would become my mentor, Tim McDonough. Tim changed what my idea of what acting was and could be. Whether it was allowing my imagination to play and experiment, or finding specificity in moments down to how the character handled a pen or wineglass -- I never looked at performing the same way. His passionate approach to the craft, and to the profession itself, is probably the biggest reason I ever gave acting, as a career, a real shot. I AM forever in his debt."

Gigantic telescope could bring revolution - expertQuicklink submitted by Kyle McDermott Permalink
Become a Fan
(8 fans)
|One Auckland-based professor said the telescope could bring about a revolution similar to that of Gallileo... Scanning the sky 10,000 times faster and with 50 times the sensitivity of any other telescope, it will be able to see 10 times further into the universe and detect signals that are 10 times older. It will be used to study the origins of the universe and will be able to detect very weak signals that could indicate the presence of extraterrestrial life. 'This hugely important step for the project allows us to progress the design and prepare for the construction phase of the telescope,' said Michiel van Haarlem, Director General of the consortium. 'The SKA will transform our view of the universe; with it we will see back to the moments after the Big Bang and discover previously unexplored parts of the cosmos.'
