Drew Smyly Rumors
East Notes: Sanchez, Rays, Smyly, Lee, Mets Lawsuit
Highly-regarded Blue Jays prospect Aaron Sanchez is proving that his stuff plays at the MLB level, writes Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet.ca. His upper-90s fastball is generating swings and misses along with plenty of groundballs, and he's also found success with his curve. As Nicholson-Smith notes, Sanchez has shown that the two-pitch combo can make him a force out of the pen, but the next step will be for him to incorporate his change as he looks to establish himself as a big league starter in the future. Sanchez is currently rated the game's 37th-best overall prospect by MLB.com.
Here's more from the east:
- The Rays expect their payroll to drop below this season's franchise record of over $80MM, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports on Twitter. Overall spending is "clearly going to be lower," said owner Stuart Sternberg. That is hardly surprising, especially given that the team will not be paying David Price a big arbitration raise and has Heath Bell coming off the books. On the other hand, it would seem to indicate that Tampa does not expect to add significant salary via free agency or trade, as the team will be paying raises to players like James Loney and Grant Balfour (whose free agent deals were backloaded) as well as arbitration-eligibles such as Matt Joyce, Jeremy Hellickson, Jake McGee, Desmond Jennings, and the recently-acquired Drew Smyly.
- Since going to the Rays in the Price trade, Smyly has increased his strikeout rate and improved his effectiveness against righties by elevating his fastball, as Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports originally explored and Jeff Sullivan of Fangraphs further explains with the aid of many interesting statistics and GIFs. As Sullivan writes — and as Fangraphs has been discussing more generally of late — there is an increasing movement among some teams (including Tampa) and some pitchers to pursue the use of high heat as batters have adjusted to lower pitching.
- Phillies GM Ruben Amaro Jr. says that he expects Cliff Lee to deliver significant on-field value next year, Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports. Lee is on track in his rehab plan, which currently means continued rest. As Gelb notes, Lee's situation will likely not begin to clarify until he begins throwing this fall and begins to ramp up for the spring.
- The Mets have issued a statement denying the allegations of former executive Leigh Castergine, as MLB.com's Anthony DiComo reports. "We have received and reviewed the complaint," the statement reads. "The claims are without merit. Our organization maintains strong policies against any and all forms of discrimination." In a rather scathing assessment, meanwhile, Jeff Passan of Yahoo Sports argues that MLB should investigate immediately and act firmly in the wake of Castergine's troubling allegations. As Passan notes, Mets COO Jeff Wilpon — whose alleged statements and actions form the basis for much of the lawsuit — not only occupies a key position with the team, but also sits on the boards of MLB Enterprises and MLB Network.

AL Notes: Rodriguez, Martinez, Rays, Smyly
This weekend, the Rangers selected the contract of infielder Guilder Rodriguez, perhaps an unusual step for a 31-year-old who posted a .269/.347/.298 line in 349 plate appearances at Double-A Frisco this season. "This is a dream of every player," says Rodriguez, via Dallas News' Gerry Fraley. "Every single day when you wake up, you want this. I waited too many years, but I'm here now." Rodriguez has unofficially mentored infield prospects like Rougned Odor and Luis Sardinas, and the Rangers hope he'll keep helping youngsters after his playing career is over. Here's more from around the American League.
- The Astros released J.D. Martinez in March, even though he wasn't even on their 40-man roster at the time, but now he's revived his career with the Tigers, Tyler Kepner of the New York Times writes. Martinez credits changes he made to his swing (lowering his hands and closing his stance) with helping him revive his career. He worked on incorporating those changes in Venezuela over the winter. The Astros noticed them, but weren't sure Martinez would keep using them. Now, he's hitting .304/.347/.542 in 401 plate appearances for the Tigers.
- The Rays' lack of offense is the biggest reason they've struggled this year, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times writes. In particular, they haven't cashed in enough runners on base or hit enough home runs. They've also hit into too many double plays.
- The Rays have loved what they've gotten from Drew Smyly since they acquired him in the David Price deal in July, writes Topkin. "Outstanding," manager Joe Maddon says. "His ability right now to get out righties, which had been a problem for him, really speaks to future success. I've just been totally impressed with everything about him. We all have."

AL East Notes: Red Sox, Price, Prado, Smyly, Johnson
Joe Kelly first found out that John Lackey was traded to the Cardinals on Twitter and, 15 minutes later, learned he was part of the package heading to the Red Sox in return, writes Rob Harms of the Boston Globe. "Hectic," Kelly said of the deadline's personal impact on him. "It's something that happens in baseball, and, like I said, it could happen to anyone. When I got the news I was definitely shocked and surprised, but I found out it was Boston, and I figured it was one great baseball town to another. So definitely looking forward to it." More out of the AL East..
- Rays executive VP Andrew Friedman says that if he waited until the winter to deal David Price, the return would have been somewhere between "a good bit less to dramatically less," writes Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times. While some see their haul for the ace pitcher as light, Topkin says that in reality, they were pleased to get as much as they did.
- There's no reason for Red Sox GM Ben Cherington to stop wheeling and dealing now, writes Scott Lauber of the Boston Herald. The Red Sox already have shipped out 11 of the 25 players who were on their World Series roster only nine months ago, but Lauber is dreaming big and thinking of names like Giancarlo Stanton and Chris Sale.
- Brian MacPherson of the Providence Journal breaks down the questions the Red Sox still need to answer in the aftermath of their recent roster maneuvers.
- The Yankees are helping Martin Prado through his "strange" transition to a new team and new position, writes Brendan Kuty of the Star-Ledger. Prado hadn't taken a single practice fly ball in right field this season even though that's his new spot. The veteran mostly played third base and left field while with the Braves and Diamondbacks.
- While he knows that he has "very big" shoes to fill, Drew Smyly is excited to be a member of the Rays, Topkin writes.
- Jim Johnson is now free to sign with any club after his release by the A's Friday. Roch Kubatko of MASNsports.com writes the Orioles maintain a high level of interest in signing their former closer to a minor league deal, but are not the only team pursuing the right-hander.
- Johnson will throw a side session for the Orioles tomorrow in Sarasota in front of rehab pitching coordinator Scott McGregor, tweets Dan Connolly of the Baltimore Sun.

AL Central Notes: Royals, Hughes, Tigers, Bauer
Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet interviewed Royals GM Dayton Moore about the team's playoff hopes, his offseason moves and the difficulty of making trades. Asked about the tough decision to part with Wil Myers, Moore said the focus in trades has to be on what is acquired rather than what is given up: "If you focus on what you're losing, you'll never make a deal. You'll be paralyzed. You have to focus on what you're getting in return and that's what we focused on."
More items pertaining to the Royals and the AL Central…
- ESPN's Jerry Crasnick also looks at the Royals' high expectations, talking about the team's acquisition of Shields and the heavy emphasis placed on defense. Moore makes it clear to the club's scouts that he wants players with the discipline to focus for nine innings and the ability to continue to prioritize defense even in the midst of slumps at the plate. Shields and manager Ned Yost both spoke about this emphasis. Crasnick also discussed the turnaround of some of the team's young hitters with last year's interim hitting coach and Hall of Famer George Brett.
- Phil Hughes tells Anthony McCarron of the New York Daily News that he's enjoying his transition to a new team after a "nightmare" season with the Yankees in 2013. Hughes, who has become fast friends with Twins first baseman Joe Mauer, says he enjoys the laid-back atmosphere. Now sporting a beard, Hughes feels that back pain that cost him most of Spring Training last season likely contributed to his struggles. Minnesota, of course, gambled on Hughes' youth and pedigree by signing him to a three-year, $24MM deal this offseason that was far larger than most had expected for the 27-year-old.
- Chris Iott of MLive.com answered reader questions and offered his take on the chances of Max Scherzer inking an extension prior to Opening Day. Iott pegs the chances of a long-term deal for the 2013 Cy Young winner at about 10 percent, noting that he simply can't envision it realistically happening.
- Also of note from Iott is that the Tigers are fully committed to using Drew Smyly as a starter. Iott writes that the club won't be making any last-minute additions of a veteran starter and expect the left-handed Smyly to be in their rotation for a long time.
- Iott also spoke with manager Brad Ausmus about trade acquisition Robbie Ray. Detroit's new skipper told him that Ray, acquired from the Nationals in the Doug Fister trade, has a deceptive delivery that allows his fastball to play up a couple of miles per hour. Ausmus anticipates Ray getting a lot of foul balls on fastballs up in the zone, believing that hitters will have a tough time keeping up with the pitch.
- The Tigers announced that non-roster invitee Eduardo Sanchez suffered an olecranon stress fracture of his right elbow and will miss an extended period of time. The former Cardinals setup man inked a minor league deal with Detroit in January and was vying for a spot in their bullpen.
- Terry Pluto of the Cleveland Plain Dealer writes that the Indians know Trevor Bauer probably isn't ready for the Majors, which is what prompted their late signing of Aaron Harang to serve as depth. Bauer has altered his delivery somewhat and got mixed results in yesterday's game against the Reds.

Bullpen Notes: Papelbon, Nathan, Tigers, Padres
Closer Jonathan Papelbon is dissatisfied with the Phillies' current direction, MLB.com's Todd Zalecki reports. In the midst of an eight-game losing streak, Philadelphia has fallen to seven games below .500, and that's not what Papelbon anticipated when he signed with the Phils. "I definitely didn't come here for this," he says. He also doesn't sound optimistic when asked about the Phillies' future. "Oh man," he says. "We could be here all day."
Papelbon is of the opinion that the Phillies need to undergo an overhaul, similar to that of his former team, the Red Sox (whose overhaul, ironically, included losing Papelbon to free agency). He says he does not want to be traded, but adds that he does not want to stay in Philadelphia if his team continues on the same path.
- The Tigers and Rangers have discussed the possibility of a deal that would send Joe Nathan to Detroit, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports tweets. Right now, though, the Rangers are asking a lot, and Morosi says there is "no momentum toward a deal." As MLBTR's Aaron Steen noted yesterday, Joakim Soria could close for the Rangers if Nathan were to depart. The Rangers could target the Tigers' current setup man, Drew Smyly, if they were to deal Nathan, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
- The Tigers are not trying to trade for Papelbon, Morosi tweets, but Luke Gregerson of the Padres is a possibility (Twitter links).
- The Padres and Brewers are the top sellers for bullpen arms, CBSSports.com's Danny Knobler reports. The Padres can offer Gregerson and Joe Thatcher, while the Brewers have John Axford and Mike Gonzalez. The Astros, meanwhile, could deal Jose Veras or Wesley Wright, while the Angels could move Scott Downs.

AL Central Notes: Escobar, Dolan, White Sox, Porcello
Aside from similar modest batting averages, you could hardly find two more different players than Harmon Killebrew and Luis Aparicio but it was on this day in 1984 that both AL Central greats were inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. Killebrew slugged 573 homers in his career and was a classic three-true-outcomes power hitter, while Aparicio hit just .262/.311/.343 in his career but made it Cooperstown on the strength of his defense (nine Gold Gloves) and speed, leading the league in steals nine times and finishing with 506 stolen bases in his career.
Here are some more notes from around the AL Central…
- The Indians were one of the teams interested in Kelvim Escobar before the right-hander signed a minor league deal with the Brewers earlier today, reports ESPN's Jerry Crasnick (Twitter link).
- Indians chairman and CEO Paul Dolan has been officially named as the club's control person by Major League Baseball's owners, reports Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Dolan is now officially the Tribe's person in charge of the team's operations and its adherence to league rules.
- The White Sox are looking to add a reliever and a left-handed hitter before the season starts, writes ESPN Chicago's Bruce Levine as part of an online chat with fans that also covers a number of Cubs-related topics.
- In response to another fan question, Levine doesn't think the White Sox have any interest in Kyle Lohse.
- Rick Porcello's name has surfaced in many trade rumors since the Tigers signed Anibal Sanchez, but Jamie Samuelsen of the Detroit Free Press doesn't think the Tigers should move either Porcello or Drew Smyly since the team needs the pitching depth.

Tigers Taking Calls On Drew Smyly
The Tigers are reportedly receiving interest in Rick Porcello, and according to Danny Knobler of CBS Sports the team is also fielding calls on Drew Smyly (Twitter link). Detroit isn't necessarily committed to trading one or the other, but Knobler guesses that one of the two will go.
Having signed Anibal Sanchez to a five-year contract, the Tigers now possess an enviable surplus of starting pitching. Sanchez will join Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer and Doug Fister in a rotation that will be rounded out by either Porcello or Smyly.
Smyly, 23, made his Major League debut this season and posted a strong rookie campaign. The southpaw pitched to a 3.99 ERA with 8.5 K/9, 3.0 BB/9 and a 39.9 percent ground-ball rate in 99 1/3 innings. Sabermetric stats such as FIP (3.83), xFIP (3.87) and SIERA (3.75) all support his success. Teams such as the Angels, Pirates, Padres, Twins and Phillies are all on the lookout for starting pitching this offseason and would likely have interest in Smyly, though that's just my speculation.

Planning for DxDP in a Whole New World...A Feb 14 PDR *2/19 Complete*
Welcome all to my Pre-Dining Report!!
My Name is Jessica, and this will be my 3rd trip to Disney World. On my previous two trips I had the Deluxe dining plan, and this trip will be no different.
One BIG difference though, is that earlier this year I started converting to a pescetarian diet. For those that aren't familiar, that means I will eat fish and shellfish, but no land animals. This is QUITE a departure from my former extremely carnivorous self. I gradually transitioned, starting first by eliminating red meat from my diet, and then more recently eliminating poultry as well.
I am still a work in progress, and still learning a lot about my new lifestyle. I am going on this trip with my friend Megan, who is definitely still Omnivore. I have found this to be quite a challenge in planning our ADRs, because two of her must do's (Ohana and Le Cellier) have very little that I can eat. So it could be an interesting journey for us! Perhaps I really can make an entire meal out of Ohana's bread pudding and salad?
I hope you decide to come along with me on this journey, as I'm sure we will have some interesting developments in the way!

Hi Jessica - just wanted to say I'm looking forward to your reviews! As someone who's strongly considering a pescetarian diet (stopped eating red meat and pork in January, but haven't cut poultry yet), I can't wait to see what you find in WDW.

My goal going in to this trip is to try and choose restaurants that have at least on pescetarian-friendly option on the menu that I would eat. However on my last trip, we had the unfortunate experience that many items I had read about on very recent menus online, were not in fact offered on the day we dined. This could be interesting.
An interesting thing I have found out about Disney is that most of their cupcakes (which I have enjoyed quite regularly on my past trips) include gelatin. Apparently the gelatin is used so that those mounds of frosting will hold their shape longer. So no cupcakes for me...I did however enjoy Babycakes on my most recent trip.

Arrival Day -- Lunch
For our first meal of the trip we are detouring to Downtown Disney for a quick counter service lunch. On previous trips I would have stopped at Earl of Sandwich without hesitation, but I am not keen on their veggie option, so this required finding an alternative. So I chose:
Wolfgang Puck Express
This seems like a solid bet for all involved. This will be our first time dining here, although I have previously enjoyed The Wolfgang Puck Café and Dining Room.
Megan has her eye on a few dishes. Either the:
Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf - mashed potatoes, port wine sauce and crispy onion rings $15
one of the many pizza options.
I think I would enjoy either the:
Tortilla Soup - avocado, tortillas, goat cheese and cilantro $7
Roasted Beets Salad - Goat Cheese, oranges, candied pecans, fresh greens and balsamic $9
Oven Roasted Salmon - fennel, tomatoes, arugula, roasted potatoes and horseradish cream $18.
Tell me, how has everyone enjoyed WPE?

I've only been to WPE once (a few years ago), but I had the salmon dish and loved it! Based on the reviews WPE gets, I don't think you can go wrong with any of those choices.

I'm here for your dining report. I don't eat red meat or pork, I'm having a hard time giving up chicken though. If I got out to eat I'm fine its just cooking around the house for the DH and kids that the chicken comes in. Looking forward to your report and to get some ideas for our next trip.

Arrival Day -- Snack
I apologize in advance for the onslaught of updates. I normally try to spread them out as much as possible, after all, we have to make this PDR last till February right? I am moving to Charlotte in two weeks, so I'm not sure what kind of time I will have in the coming weeks to update, so I'm trying to get enough posted in the meantime to tide you over until I get settled in!
After what I'm sure will be an amazing meal at WPE, I bet we'll be in the mood for something sweet. I was pretty disappointed recently to learn that most of Disney's cupcakes include gelatin, making them a no go for me. As a self proclaimed cupcake connoisseur this was a major bummer. One place that I know doesn't include gelatin in their cupcakes is an old favorite of mine from New York, and something I quite enjoyed on my last trip...

Babycakes! For those of you that aren't familiar, babycakesNYC is located inside the same building that houses Pollo Campero in Downtown Disney. Their baked goods are gluten, dairy, egg and soy free. Most are also sweetened with agave nectar instead of refined sugar or corn syrup. Now, if you don't have any dietary restrictions babycakes may not be your cup of tea. I actually quite enjoyed the lemon cupcake on my last visit, and might venture out to try the pumpkin or carrot one this trip. I did try the red velvet and didn't care for it. While I certainly would prefer the overly sweet, buttery, calorie dense concoctions that Disney normally offers in its cupcake cases, I find babycakes to be a tasty alternative!
Here's a few sample picks from my last trip. (I apologize for the white out in some of the pics, I was still trying to get a hang of a new camera.)
The little box the cupcakes are individually packaged in.
The lemon all boxed up
The lemon. I really enjoyed this one, it had a very light lemony flavor and the texture of the cake was very similar to that of a "normal" cupcake.
And the red velvet...Again, I didn't care for this one, it was a little on the dry side and I really missed a cream cheese icing.

Arrival Day --Dinner
For dinner, and our first ADR on the dining plan, we decided to stick with Downtown Disney. We're headed to another first for me...
(Photo courtesy of disneyfoodblog.com)
Fulton's Crab House. Obviously, Fulton's is sort of a pescetarian's dream and I'm pleased to see they were added to the dining plan! As I mentioned, I haven't been before, so I don't have any pictures to share with you, but there are many many things that appealed to both of us that made us decide to dine here.
The first: Crab dip!! Need I say more?
The second: Amazing appetizer options! Several things really stick out to me on the appetizer menu...
Fish Tacos - Market catch, cajun spice, pico de gallo, queso fresco, guacamole $12
Crab Cake - Jumbo lump blue crab, roasted corn maque choux, fried green tomato, remoulade sauce $15
Portobello Mushroom Fries - Orange Blossom Pilsner battered, mustard sauce $9
Lobster Corn Dogs - salsa verde, sweet chili aioli $14
Normally with fried options, I would have to be careful that they weren't fried in the same grease that is also used for frying things like chicken tenders or other meat products. Apparently this is also a concern at many other Disney restaurants. The only thing I could find on their entire menu that was a fried meat were some children's chicken nuggets. Hopefully they have their own fryer because those lobster corn dogs sound AMAZING!!
In the event that I can't have any of the above mentioned, both the
Ahi Tuna Tartar - Avocado-cucumber relish, sweet chili aioli, plantain chip $15
and the
Crab Ceviche - Blistered tomatillo, sweet onion, heirloom tomatoes, cilantro, avocado $14
sound equally delicious.
For dinner, I definitely have had my eye set on the
Narragansett, Rhode Island Lobster - One pound and a quarter lobster, shrimp, scallop, spinach and mushroom stuffing, toasted breadcrumbs $49.
Really EVERYTHING on the menu sounds absolutely fantastic, I'm not sure how I will even decide!! This could very well be a game day decision for me!
I don't see a dessert menu online anywhere, but I tend to gravitate towards desserts that are a little more tart then things that are overloaded with chocolate. I would LOVE it if they had a key lime pie or something of the sort!

"While the pescetarian diet is not as friendly to the planet or to animals as a fully vegetarian or vegan diet, pescetarianism does offer a number of critically important health benefits.
Red meats contribute to many serious diseases and conditions, but the health risks related to fish are minimal. For example, several studies have strongly linked the consumption of red meat to colon cancer, heart disease, and even diabetes owing to their high content of unhealthy omega-6 fatty acids and an alarming concentration of saturated fat.
Fish products do not contribute to these conditions, and in fact may help to prevent them. Most types of fish, particularly fatty fish like salmon, contain large quantities of polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids, which have been implicated in the treatment of everything from heart disease to depression to attention deficit disorder. Moreover, in 2004, the Food and Drug Administration a "qualified health claim" that omega-3 fatty acids can combat the risk of coronary heart disease. It appears that a pescetarian diet may actually combat the diseases and conditions caused by red meat.
Seafood products can also be a good source of iron for people who do not regularly consume red meats, iron-containing vegetables, or iron-fortified cereals. For this reason, pescatarians are at a significantly lower risk of developing iron deficiency anemia, an extremely common condition among vegans and vegetarians. Vitamin D-3 deficiency, another surprisingly common nutrient deficiency among Americans, can also be combatted with adequate consumption of tuna, mackerel, and salmon.
Hypothyroidism, a common cause for obesity in the United States, can also be combatted with a balanced pescetarian diet. Many seafoods, especially shellfish, contain high levels of natural iodine, known to protect against, treat, and prevent thyroid disease. Depression, mental slowing, goitre, and weight gain are common symptoms among adults with hyperthyroidism, but it can often be treated easily and naturally with a high-iodine pescetarian diet.
Pescetarianism is also an easier solution than full vegetarianism for people who want to give up meats but are concerned about the health impacts of soy. While protein deficiency is exceedingly rare even among strict vegans, many vegetarians have difficulty feeling full or satisfied without having a protein source in each meal. However, many vegetarians have difficulty digesting soy protein or are concerned about the unknown effects of isoflavones (estrogen-mimickers) in soy, leading them to switch to pescetarianism to meet their protein needs.
The predominantly pescetarian diet consumed by the Japanese may be a contributing factor to their long life spans and low cancer rates Although the Japanese smoke more and are exposed to more environmental toxins than citizens of the United States, their rates of coronary heart disease and cancer are significantly less than in the United States. The high content of life-giving Omega-3 fats, natural iodine, and vitamin D-3 found in fish may contribute to the overall health of the Japanese population."
Many also consider a pescetarian diet for ethical reasons. My decision was based on a combination of both. Heart disease and cancer run in my family. I also have several family members that have Type 2 diabetes. Personally, I just "feel" better since I have become a pescetarian. I have more energy, sleep better at night and my skin looks amazing. I hope this helps!

I'm here! I'm a healthy pescetarian who mostly doesn't eat meat for the ethical reasons. I was a pretty enthusiastic meat eater back in the day, but it has now been 15 years since I have eaten any land creatures and I don't miss meat one little bit.
I'm looking forward to your reviews and to see what you select. Fulton's is beautiful at night! It's too bad we didn't have the greatest experience there in 2012, so we might not be back. The menu options look so good, though! They sound right up my alley.
I love a good lemon cupcake! Yum yum!

post on! my mother is a pescetarian and will occasionally eat red meat. she went this road a few years ago as cholesterol was a concern. sometimes we have a hard time with booking because family style restaurants don't offer a lot of meat options and buffets can be skimpy on the seafood. i liked garden grill but the food was too much of an issue there. they put bacon in a salad and they allowed her to order fish but still gave me a huge serving of meat for just me. i still have a few months till our trip so i'm going to read your reviews and see if i should swap any of my ADRs.

TrustCo Announces Third Quarter Pretax Earnings Up 10%
Mr. McCormick also noted "We continue to see some signs of economic improvement in the markets in which we operate, although high levels of unemployment and other persistent issues continue to constrain any significant growth. We believe our long-term focus on traditional lending criteria and conservative balance sheet management has enabled us to maintain a strong balance sheet with continued profitability. As a result, we have been able to focus on conducting business, which has put us in a position to take advantage of the significant upheaval that customers of other banks have experienced."
TrustCo continued to report solid growth in loans and deposits on a year-over-year basis. For the quarter ended September 30, 2012, average loans were up $134.7 million or 5.5% compared to the same period in 2011, while average deposits increased $166.1 million or 4.5% over the same period. Compared to the second quarter of 2012, average deposits were down $27.0 million or 2.8% (annualized) and average loans were up $42.3 million or 6.7% (annualized). Mr. McCormick noted that, "The year-over-year growth of our loans and deposits reflects the long term strategic focus of the Bank, while the decline in average deposits relative to the second quarter reflects our near term tactical decision to intensify our focus on enhancing our mix of deposits and growing our core customer base. Our efforts in this regard resulted in certificate of deposit balances falling from 33.9% of deposits at June 30, 2012 to 29.4% at September 30, 2012. Because certificates are our most costly deposits, this decline contributed to our overall cost of deposits falling to 0.44% in the third quarter compared to 0.52% in the second quarter.
Our branch franchise continues to be the key to our long term plans. We have made significant progress in expanding our loans and deposits through our branches, and expect that to continue as the new branches grow towards their capacity. We remain mindful that fully achieving our goals for our newer branches will take time and continued hard work. We believe our success in growing customer relationships provides the basic building blocks that will help drive profit growth over the coming years. As we have noted, however, we will not pursue balance sheet expansion that does not contribute to the long term health of the Company."

FDA Raises Concerns About Cell Therapeutics' Cancer Drug
(Updated with stock price)
WASHINGTON ( TheStreet) -- Drug reviewers working for the Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about the efficacy and safety of Cell Therapeutics' (CTIC) lymphoma drug pixantrone drug, according to a review of the drug posted to the agency's Web site Monday.
Shares of Cell Therapeutics fell 30% to 73 cents a share in early Monday trading.
Cell Therapeutics only enrolled 140 out of a planned 320 patients with aggressive, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in its pivotal phase III study of pixantrone. As a result, the FDA raises doubts about "the level of evidence necessary to draw conclusions from this Phase 3 study and the reliability of these conclusions," according to the agency's review.The agency is also concerned about "substantial hematologic and cardiac toxicity" related to treatment with pixantrone. Cell Therapeutics's decision to halt enrollment early in the pixantrone study and analyze the data earlier than expected invalidated the Special Protocol Assessment (SPA) the company had with the FDA for the conduct of the study, according to the FDA's review. The small number of patients in the pixantrone phase III study, concerns over the heart safety of the drug and the lack of an SPA were all issues expected to be troublesome for Cell Therapeutics. The FDA is convening an advisory panel meeting on Feb. 10 to review pixantrone. Cell Therapeutics is trying to get the drug approved as a treatment for patients with advanced, aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cancer experts on the FDA's Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) will be reviewing data from a phase III study of pixantrone known as "EXTEND" and voting on whether or not to recommend the drug's approval by the agency.

Mother kills 1-year-old daughter, then herself
Updated On: Sep 02 2013 08:33:36 AM EDT
Sarasota police say a mother shot her 1-year-old daughter and then turned the gun on herself.
Police say they responded to the murder-suicide Sunday morning. Spokeswoman Genevieve Judge says 35-year-old Sarah Harnish died at the scene. Josephine Boice, who was 17 months old, was taken to the hospital and later died.
A police statement says the child's father returned home from a scooter ride before 10 a.m. and heard shots fired and called 911. No one else was inside the home when it happened. Police say a report won't be available until Tuesday.

The inquiry by India's Director General of Shipping found the MV Khalijia-3 was mainly responsible for the collision with the MSC Chitra off the Mumbai coast last month.
The Aug. 7 collision resulted in over 800 metric tons of oil leaking from the Chitra and more than 200 containers being knocked off it, which blocked the channel into the ports of Jawaharlal Nehru and Mumbai for five days.
The inquiry backed up the scathing claim by Mediterranean Shipping Co.'s headquarters in Geneva that the Khalijia-3 was at fault in the collision.
The inquiry, which was reported by Mumbai's NDTV, found that the Khalijia-3 entered the navigation channel at the wrong time and at the wrong angle. It was meant to enter the channel at a parallel angle. Instead it was perpendicular to the channel. As a result the Khalijia-3 occupied almost the entire length of the channel.
The inquiry also found that the Khalijia-3 had also cast off two tug boats provided by the Mumbai Port Trust to stabilize the ship.
It said that the captain of Khalijia-3 contacted the captain of MSC Chitra only two minutes before the accident occurred.
The Khaljia-3 had also been involved in an earlier accident in which tugs were provided to aid the ship after the bottom of the ship was damaged by a dragging anchor.
The inquiry report was also critical of the Mumbai Port Trust's Vehicle Traffic Monitoring System (VTMS), a radar system that was supposed to track the movement of ships in its waters.
The inquiry found that one out of the two radars was not working and no one was near the screen monitoring the ship movements. The VTMS staff was ignorant about the approaching ships.
The state government has fined the MSC Chitra over $640,000 for polluting the coast after the collision, but these findings could well pave the way for claims against the Khalijia-3.

What would it take for the Daily Paul to have an email address service that is big brother free?Submitted by joeinmo on Tue, 06/11/2013 - 10:05
I think a web based email service controlled by our own would be great.
- Login to post comments
It's easy
The hard part (and I do mean hard) is not getting shut down by armed thugs.
PGP keyed e-mails
You used to be able to send and decode e-mails using PGP, and it was revolutionary for its time, but even the guy who created it says that it is so annoying to de-crypt e-mails from people, he doesn't even use it anymore.
Tor is actively being targeted by the government, presumably to find out if terrorist cells and adversarial nations are using it to undermine the country. Even though the founder of TOR was invited to speak about the benefits of Tor to the NSA, he was alarmed that they were so forthright in being against it completely.
I also look at this way. It was the DOD that authorized 256-bit encryption for websites, so SSL is probably already broken. It took them awhile to authorize it, too.
There is little traffic that is not going through US servers. While Tormail may be the best right now, if speculation that it is being infiltrated is true, you may be monitored any way.
Sadly, it seems like a waste of time, until someone invents a new way to enforce anonymity through online communications. Because of botnet spam, most SMTP, POP3, and IMAP servers require some form of identification, when sending and receiving e-mail. This usually comes in the form of a proper reverse DNS lookup to make sure the IP address correlates with the mail server and e-mail address being used. This is why the collection of meta data is a ploy. That information can lead to directly uncovering your mail server IP and then snooping traffic straight off your own IP or that of the entire mail server.
Lavabit uses SSL keys and before Ladar Levison closed down the business, he was ordered to provide the government with the keys. Essentially this would allow the government to use the certificates as Lavabit. When you hear from a root certificate authority from Google or Microsoft being compromised, you may not know what it means, but this is a "big deal" in the IT world. Essentially it means that anyone can now potentially forge SSL with a top level root CA from Microsoft or Google. Fortunately, the system was designed for certificate authority servers to be able to redact the keys as quickly as possible.
There is no easy answer to this question. Assume all communications are monitored. Whether or not anyone is actually reading them is very unlikely, but they are no doubt being targeted for storage, indefinitely, in a massive waste of hard disk space, to say the least.
The type of surveillance going on now seems to be industrial espionage projects overseas and domestic. If you had this above-the-law power, without morals, what would you use it for? To blackmail Congress, perhaps? The president? His cabinet? How about insider trading? They probably don't need your information unless you're a major player.
The latest news I read about was that they are trying to translate all communications to text. This means phone conversations and conversations overheard through any of the Defense Intelligence Agency/NSA programs. They are probably doing it to be able to correlate a call with keywords and search on those keywords from a giant database.
Overall, I don't think we can turn it back. There was a massive smoke screen about the NSA when the MSM aired that Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman trial non-stop. It was almost like they had to prove the justice system was still online to get people away from targeting NSA activities.
Don't trust everything you read in the news. Don't expect privacy online anymore. The defunding war should be about NSA appropriations and not the Affordable Healthcare Act, but we have a complicit Congress and President in that area. To me this shows the top leadership in both parties are simply using divide and conquer tactics against the American people.
There always has to be a domestic wedge issue, whether it is abortion, gay rights, or something else, to get people to stop paying attention to the real criminality going on. Don't get me wrong, those are real and serious issues, but they are entirely manipulated for political purposes and so is 9/11.
Check out StartPage's private email project: StartMail
I'm a serial entrepreneur and liberty activist from Texas!
The best secure email I have been able to find is the encrypted Tormail service, on the hidden network of TOR, or the deep web. It's free, does not require personal information to set up and again is an anonymous as you want it to be and encrypted.
To use the service you must have TOR installed on your computer. Here's the TOR project website where you can download a bundled version of TOR ready to go! -
Here is the link to the hidden TORmail service- http://jhiwjjlqpyawmpjx.onion/
Here is their non hidden page - http://tormail.org/
Don't forget
All of the people with whom you exchange emails would have to be part of that same service or what would be the point? But, as I understand it, they are intercepting at the ISP level anyway. Not much you can do about that.
Except start our own Private Communications Company and build from the ground up...
If someone dumped a lot of money into that type of system for cell phone, email, internet, and banking, they could take a huge market share right away, but it would probably take hundreds of millions if not billions to pull off, and it could only probably be implemented regionally and in certain areas to start.
I wonder if the world would crowdfund that?
Imagine WikiCommunications or Common Communications Company or somethign like that!
I'm a serial entrepreneur and liberty activist from Texas!
It still wouldn't be
It still wouldn't be trustworthy.
Run your own.

All right gang, I am still working inside Text inside custom path.psd. In this exercise, I am going to take this text on the path that I just created, and I'm going to adjust it down using a function known as Baseline Shift. So, here is the idea. I was telling you that the baseline is that imaginary horizontal line upon which all of your characters rest. So with the exception of the descenders, which are the tails at the bottom of the G and the P and so on, all the other characters ride exactly along that baseline.
Now when you attach text to a path the way we have here, then the baseline now becomes the path. They are one, so the baseline is curving. Well, there is this function known as Baseline Shift that allows you to raise and lower any selected characters of type with respect to the baseline. So, if we assign a negative Baseline Shift value to our current text we'll be able to shift it down and away from the glove, and that's what I propose we do now. All right, switch to the Type tool. I'd like you to go ahead and switch over to the Layers panel, but, first notice here in the Paths panel that we have a temporary occupant of this panel, September, 2026 Type Path, which is showing me that this is the path for this text which is called September, 2026.
Just in case I want to edit this path because the text is not linked to our original down left path. That's very important. If you are to modify the down left path in any way, shape, or form that would not affect the text. You have to modify this temporary path outline right there. Anyway, switch back to the Layers panel. There is our text, and it is active. That's all I want to make sure. Just that it's active, and that we are not working inside the Text Entry mode because I don't want to adjust some characters independently of others. Now, switch over to your Character panel by clicking on the Character icon here, and there is our value right there.
It's Baseline Shift, as you can see. You can modify that value if you want to. I could go ahead and scrub it up, for example, to shift that text upward away from the Baseline Shift which can be useful for creating numerators and fractions that is the top number in a fraction or any other kind of raised numbers, ordinals, for example, which would be the ND in second or the RD in third, that kind of thing, or you can go ahead and shift your text downward if you want to.
In my case, I have over-compensated. I am going to go ahead and restore that value to 0 for the moment, and then I am going show you another way to work from the keyboard. I find this technique to be very helpful. I'll click inside the text with my Type tool, and I'll press Ctrl+A or Command+A on the Mac to select all the text. And then so I am not seeing the highlighted version of my type I'll press Ctrl+H or Command+H on the Mac. Now, then here is the keyboard shortcut Shift+Alt+Up Arrow raises the Baseline Shift value in 2 point increments, on the Mac that Shift+Option+Up Arrow.
Shift+Alt+Down Arrow here on the PC or Shift+Option+Down Arrow on the Mac lowers that Baseline Shift value in 2 point increments, starting from 0. I am going to press Shift+Alt or on the Mac, Shift+Option+Down Arrow, four times in a row, like so, in order to reduce my baseline shift value to -8, and that gives me this result right there. All right, now I will hide my Character panel, and just in case I feel like I need to nudge my text down just a little more, I will press and hold the Ctrl key or the Command key on the Mac, and I will drag this X down just a little bit, like so, to compensate for the new position of the text with respect that is to the bottom-left corner of my composition.
All right, this looks good to me. I am going to go ahead and switch away from the Type tool entirely, so I don't accidentally modify my highlighted text by the way, we can't see it, but if press Ctrl+H, Command+H on the Mac, you can see now that this text is selected and vulnerable to modification. So I am going to click on my Rectangular Marquee tool to make it active. Now let's go ahead and assign a layer effect, specifically Drop Shadow to this text, and we are going to do so manually. Drop down to the fx icon, and I will tell you exactly what settings to apply.
Click on fx, choose Drop Shadow, and you will see a preview of the default settings which are pretty close to being exactly right. In fact, we do want a Distance value of 5 pixels, I do want a Size value of 5 pixels, so that's fine. Spread should be set to 0. Angle, definitely leave that alone. Don't even touch it because you will mess everything up. If you change the Angle value right now, which is 120 degrees, because Use Global Light is turned on, you will mess up every single shadow and every single emboss effect, and every single other directional layer effect inside this composition.
So leave that as is. We will see what's going on there when we discuss layer effects in the future chapter. However, what I'd like you to do is change the color of the Drop Shadow. The Blend mode is fine, set to Multiply. Click on the Color Swatch, and I actually lifted a color from the image using the Eyedropper or just by clicking in one of the shadow details here, but this specific value, after I got an editing, that I came up with, because these values are pretty close to being right, but I changed the Hue value to 30, so I made a little bit more orange, and then I reduced the Saturation value to 50% from the color I lifted anyway.
And I lowered the Brightness value to 20% as well. So 30, 50, 20 respectively for the H, S, and B values, and you can see that gives us a very dark brown. I will click OK, and I will raise the Opacity value to 100%, and I achieved this drop shadow that you see down here in the lower-left corner of the window. Now I will click OK, and we are done with this layer. I am going to click this Up Arrow icon next to fx in the Layers panel just to go ahead and collapse my layer effects, and I am going to click off of this layer, so I am no longer seeing the path outline here.
I will click on the Pout layer, for example, which is one of the next layers that we are going to modify, and this is my final text along a path as created using a combination of a pre-drawn path outline, the Type tool, and the Black Arrow tool here inside Photoshop.

Perfect, so soft, shiny, pretty! It's like lipgloss in lipstick form. I found the pigment to be just fine. Shiny sheer-but-opaque light muavey color. Not really much staying power, but easy to reapply without a mirror.

The MAC website describes Syrup as "cloudy pink"
On me and my sister it's a very sheer mauve-pink shade. It's basically like a lipgloss in stick form. In my opinion, I don't think the price is justified based on the lack of pigmentation. When I bought it years ago, I swatched it on my hand and loved the color and was extremely disappointed when I tried it on and it was like shiny/clear. It can be used on top of other lipsticks, or used in addition to a lipliner, but I cannot use it on its own simply because it doesn't show up.
If you like the idea of this color but want something more pigmented, I would highly recommend NYX in Heather. It's creamier and more opaque. I would not repurchase Syrup because if I want super sheer lipgloss I'd buy that and it would be a lot cheaper. However, I can see why this would work well for those with pigmented lips.
I had some things to B2Mac and honestly i'm not a huge lipstick person. I have quite a few in my collection and from time to time do reach for them but not as much as I should. I had a list of a few lipsticks I wanted to try and decided on Syrup. I was showing a friend and when I had taken it out of the box I was kinda put off by the color in the tube and decided i'd just pass it along to my Mom. I was waiting for a job interview, and decided to try it out and fell in love. I was worried it was to "berry" for me, but it complimented my lips/skin tone very well. When I got home I was looking at it and it reminded me of something similar I already had in my collection from Revlon. I pulled out the Revlon lipstick in Lilac and matched it up and colors are very similar. Revlon's pulls a little more purple toned, then Syrup but still close enough to be a dupe. So if your looking for a cheaper alternative to MACs Syrup then i'd definitely try out Revlon's Lilac. Of course the thing that constantly sells me on MAC lipsticks is the yummy vanilla scent!
One of favorite lipsticks of all time. I love the way this looks on my NW45 complexion but I think everyone could benefit from this beautiful shade of pink/lavender/peach. At the MAC counter, I asked the MUA to pick something for me and when she reached for syrup I was hesistant because I though it would be too light but when she lined my lips with current and put this on top, I was amazed. Usually I find MAC's lustres to be too sheer and no staying power but this was an exception. In my opinion the staying power is more of a matte but the smooth soft texture reminds me of a lustre. Looks great alone, with lip pencil or a gloss. I highly recommend this versatile shade.

Hooray for Syrup! I'm so delighted with this product. I was obsessed with Urban Decay lipstick in Rush, until I finally got fed up with the ridiculous packaging. I took Rush to the nearest MAC counter, got the SA to find the most perfect match, and Syrup is what she came up with. I've been using it for a couple of weeks now, and I have nothing negative to say about it. It's a perfect cool-toned MLBB pink, not too bright against my super fair skin, and the formula is creamy and moisturizing. Will definitely buy again, and will definitely try more MAC lipsticks because of it.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I was matched with this color by a woman at the MAC store, however next time I would probably move a couple of shades up to a shade like Creme Cup. That being said, the formula applies flawlessly and hydrates and softens my lips every time I apply it. I have a feeling that it will look better in the fall and winter; as a summer color, it's a bit too dark for me. This is the only MAC lipstick I've tried, but I've heard great things about the Lustre formula and will definitely buy another.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have had this lipstick for awhile and forgot about it. Usually too lazy to do my lips but so glad I was playing around today. This lipstick makes me feel like I am Barbie. It's pink on my with a blue undertone.. with makes it kinda pop but not too much or too loud. Will definitely be wearing this all the time now!
I love this lipstick. My first by MAC!
It's pinky-mauve lustre, quite glossy, not overpowering, compliments my skin tone beautifully, looks polished yet natural, smooth texture, glides easily, lovely vanilla scent, sleek packaging... Particularly good paired with mauve e/s for a romantic, yet sultry look! I'm NW 15, but I think it would look good on anyone.
I didn't rate it with 5 only bacause it wears off quickly (but that's the case with any lustre I've tried)
Try it!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
What a fabulous and versatile lipstick! I have NW 20-25 skin coloring for reference. It is such a flattering pink/purple MLBB color and is a permanent staple in my collection. It is definitely a cool-toned color and it looks great on those with pink/bluish undertones. What I really like is when I want a more neutral look, I can tone down the coolness of the color by adding MAC Blankety over top. It takes on a very pretty pink-beige color. I've actually gotten compliments and questions as to what lipstick I'm wearing.
My new favorite! A beautiful color. Some say it reminds them of viva glam VI. I dint agree. Viva glam has a reddish brown warm undertone and this is a cool purple pink nude color. It isn't the most pigmented and I love it for daytime! It is moisturizing without making my lips feel cakey.

My Moorish Mod Nursery
Today's guest post comes from Wendy Estes, one of the fabulous gals behind both Layla Grayce and the new modern furnishings site Zinc Door. Wendy is a fellow zigzag lover (it's no secret that Melisa and I love it), but leave it to this chic lady to create a fabulous nursery design that's kicked the pattern up a notch by coupling it with another trend—the sophisticated Moroccan vibe.
Commonly found in 16th Century Italian design known as flame stitch embroidery, Chevron has been a trend with staying power for the past couple years. The new Zig-Zag Pink Rug introduced by Dwell Studio immediately caught my attention, inspiring me to create a new pin board on my Pinterest page. Little did I know, my dear friends at Project Nursery were taking note.
In addition to the Italian-influenced Chevron print, I wanted to keep the design sophisticated and fluid, showcasing a nursery as an extension of your home rather than a theme park, if you know what I mean. Craving more "world" influence, I sprinkled the room with Spanish and Moroccan, aka Moorish, design elements. These tile patterns are featured on the crib, hardwood flooring and bone inlaid table. Lanterns are a common design element in Moroccan design, but I opted for a more modern, star-shaped light in place of something literal like this Tangiers pendant.

I love chevrons and the mix of sweet & exotic that you have created in this nursery. Delicious. As a designer and creator of Le Chic Cocoons, (women and girls creating their own special retreat) – I believe it is never to early to cultivate a sense of place and style.
Jennifer Duchene
I like your modern take on "Moorish" design elements. "Traditional" Moorish makes me think of exotic patterns and colors and sometimes I find it overwhelming to the senses. Yours is just perfect.
I find the usual Moroccan-themed homes and rooms magical yet heavy and over-decorated. As Marissa said, "overwhelming." So I like your design board. It's light and the details look really lovely.
http://www.beckwithinteriors.com Jamie Beckwith
This is a beautiful design. Thank you so much for using our Enigma: Sextan flooring. It looks wonderful with the rest of your selections. I especially love the Chevron pattern!
I love everything Moorish/Moroccan! I love how you can play with colors, patterns and various design elements and come up with a fun, magical world.

KBR's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Before turning the call over to Bill, I would like to remind our audience that today's comments may include forward-looking statements, reflecting KBR's views about future events and their potential impact on performance. These matters involve risks and uncertainties that could impact operations and financial results and cause our actual results to differ from our forward-looking statements. These risks are discussed in KBR's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2010, KBR's quarterly reports on Form 10-Q and KBR's current reports on Form 8-K. You can find all these documents at kbr.com.
Now, I'll turn the call over to Bill. Bill?
William P. Utt
Thanks, Zach, and good morning, everyone. First off, I'd like to start by saying how pleased I am with KBR's results for the fourth quarter and for the full year 2011, with earnings per fully diluted share of $0.60 and $3.16, respectively. KBR's full year 2011 net revenue of $9.3 billion was in line with our expectations and when excluding the LogCAP project, was up 4% compared to 2010. We ended 2011 with a strong cash flow from operations of $650 million, a cash balance of $966 million and we return approximately $148 million back to our shareholders.KBR's execution across our legacy businesses remain strong. Business unit income margins continue to strengthen and are 8.5% for 2011. Good overhead management and cost control within our business units contributed to the margin expansion. KBR's backlog at December 31 was $10.9 billion. While fourth quarter backlog was down sequentially, KBR's backlog at the conclusion of the 2012 first quarter will increase significantly, driven primarily by the booking of the Ichthys LNG project. As we close the fourth quarter, I was disappointed by the $25 million in additional cost and schedule charges for 3 legacy international projects at Roberts & Schaefer. The projects were impacted by supplier delivery issues, damage to on-site equipment and related schedule delays. We are dedicating extra management time and focus to get these projects back on track, with 2 of the projects now scheduled for completion at the end of the 2012 first quarter and the third for completion by the end of 2012. With Roberts & Schaefer now fully integrated into KBR, we expect to see significant improvements in project execution going forward.

CÔte D'ivoire: UN Mission Satisfied With Pace of Arms Collection
New York, The United Nations peacekeeping mission in Côte d'Ivoire has said it is encouraged by the pace of its arms collection exercise that started in June last year, but noted that much remains to be done to take away weapons from civilians and those who may have participated in past conflicts.
"To date 2,000 ex-combatants have voluntarily handed in 1,300 weapons and some 50,000 pieces of ammunition," Hamadoun Touré, spokesperson for the UN Operation in Côte d'Ivoire (UNOCI), told reporters at the mission's weekly briefing in Abidjan yesterday.
The arms collection operations are supervised by the mission's Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) division in cooperation with the Ivorian National Commission on Small Arms.
In an effort to ensure the safety of the country's population, UNOCI's bomb disposal squad is also continuing its activities throughout the country, Mr. Touré said.
"We intend to set up a hotline for the population in the very near future which they can contact to alert us on any unexploded ordnance such as those which recently injured some children who were playing with them," he said.
On human rights, Mr. Touré said that UNOCI is following up on the cases of people arrested on suspicion of carrying out activities that allegedly endangered the security of the State.
The suspects are being detained in such places as the criminal police headquarters and Côte d'Ivoire's Directorate of Territorial Surveillance to which human rights officers have no access.
He said cases of female genital mutilation had been reported among girls aged between 7 and 25 in several areas across country. UNOCI's Human Rights Division is organizing several public awareness activities to sensitize communities about the harmful effects of this practice.
