If you are drafting for the center field position this year, there are many options to choose from. You can get the All-Star performers that help you in all categories (like Vernon Wells, Carlos Beltran, or Grady Sizemore), you can draft a speed demon (like Dave Roberts, Juan Pierre, or Willy Taveras), or even find yourself a Gold Glover (like the trio of Jim Edmonds, Mike Cameron, or Andruw Jones). Center field is very diverse this year, as you can find power, stolen base, or average help at the position from a variety of players.
I am going to talk about two guys that could be huge sleepers in your leagues this year. Of course the easy sleeper to pick out is Rocco Baldelli. He will go extremely late in Yahoo leagues this year due to his O-Rank, but I am going to give you two players that are worth grabbing in your Cafe leagues. These guys probably are not high on many people's lists, but they will be worth watching and grabbing in leagues of fourteen or more teams.
Corey Patterson – Orioles
A lot of fantasy players gave up on Patterson completely after his absolutely terrible 2005 season. But lo and behold, he came back last year with a new team and showed he could still hit a baseball. He had 45 stolen bases last year, and, if he can get his OBP up a bit more, he could steal 50 bags this year. He will be hitting at the bottom of the Oriole lineup, but also in front of Roberts, Tejada, and Markakis, so the runs scored should be there. Plus, he will give you some decent pop, unlike some of the other top base stealers.
Curtis Granderson – Tigers
Granderson ended last year with a line of 90 runs, 19 HRs, 68 RBIs, 8 SBs, and a .260 BA. He will again be hitting at the top of the Tiger order, but this year, Gary Sheffield will be in the three spot to help drive him in. Like many young players have in the past, Granderson struggled quite a bit during the dog days of August and September. Granderson was hitting .280 before August came around last year and the last two months dropped his average down to .260. If he can cut down on his strikeouts this year, he will be a great late-round source for runs scored and a bit of power as well.
Now on to my two guys to stay away from this year. Gary Matthews Jr. is the one player coming off a huge year that most Cafe regulars know to stay away from, but these next two guys are probably going to be owned in every twelve-team Yahoo league this year. However, they are players that I will not be selecting in the rounds that they will likely go in.
Ichiro Suzuki – Mariners
Ichiro will be a great source of runs scored and steals, and he will also help your overall team batting average a bit as well. He will, however, give you negative value in home runs and RBIs, but that is not the main reason I am weary of drafting him in the third or fourth round. My biggest worry with Ichiro is that his average is unknown every year. When you draft Ichiro in the third round, you basically need him to hit .350 to earn his value. But if he hits .320 or below, like he has 4 of the last 5 years, his value does not lie in the third or fourth round, but closer to sixth round status. If Ichiro goes in the third or fourth round of your draft, smile, take Aramis Ramirez or Paul Konerko, and then later on in the draft pick up a guy that can get you 40 steals or so.
Vernon Wells – Blue Jays
Why would anyone not want a 28-year-old that posted a line of 90 runs, 32 HRs, 106 RBIs, 17 SBs, and a .303 BA just last year? Well if that line was pretty much a given like it would be with most second rounders, then sure, it would be worth taking Mr. Wells in the second. But just in the last few years, Wells batting average has fluctuated from .269 to .317 and his steals from 4 to 17. There is just too much disparity in those numbers for me to jump on Wells in the second round, when instead you can grab a Jeter, Sizemore, or Tejada instead.
There you have it – two players to look for late in your draft, and two more to avoid. Good luck to you all, and check back for more Two Up, Two Downs.

Avant Browser Portableshmilynus - February 21, 2008 - 2:16am
Avant Browser is a fast and very popular web browser. It has its own portable version. So what we need to do is to make it into paf format. More info about Avant Browser can be found here: ( categories: )
Closed source.Unfortunately, due to the manner of of the EULA, we can't do Avant. It is closed source and the license/EULA forbids redistribution or modification. "If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate." Nope.This app could not be hosted on PortableApps, but somebody else could make a .paf launcher for the program and host it elsewhere. Then all the user would have to do is copy the program file directory, etc. into the folders specified by the launcher. Firefox is way better anyway. Avant is trident (IE) based. avant browser 2012 build 169 is a tri-core versionAvant Browser 2012 build 169 is based on ie/firefox/chrome now. It's a tri-core browser. After the integration, it has also integrated the performances of the three most popular browsers. You know the competition between firefox and chrome becomes more and more furious, Avant Browser has profited the theire advantages without leaving his own characteristics, for example, the download manager, the split view, the capability of detaching tabs, the traditional online bookmars and autofill. I suggest you all give it a try.Persoanlly I feel it's perfect and I use it as the main browser both in my office and at home. |

Year Of The Snake Promises Calmer HK Market
By KELVIN CHAN
HONG KONG (AP) â¿¿ As the Year of the Snake slithers into sight, investors should take comfort that the reptile's traditionally negative effect on stock markets probably won't be so big this year, according to the astrological predictions of a Hong Kong brokerage.
CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets released its annual "feng shui" index on Wednesday ahead of the Chinese lunar new year, which begins Feb. 10. The report is based on the signs of the Chinese zodiac and features lighthearted predictions for financial markets, property and celebrities. Feng shui is the Chinese practice of arranging objects and choosing dates to improve luck.
"The snake is a skin shedder. That signifies radical changes," said Mariana Kou, CLSA's "sorcerer's apprentice."
The report noted that previous snake years have been associated with major turmoil such as the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the fall of the Berlin Wall and the brutal government crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989 and the start of the Great Depression in 1929. Stock markets have often ended lower in recent snake years. However, in 2013 there is "good balance on the five fundamental elements," fire, water, earth, metal and wood, which should rein in any significant upheaval, said Kou, whose official title at CLSA is research associate. The brokerage's predictions, focused mostly on Hong Kong's stock market, are strictly tongue in cheek but feng shui, which translates as "wind water", is followed religiously by many investors in the southern Chinese city in the belief that it will help boost wealth. Emily Lam, another "sorcerer's apprentice" who in real life is an institutional salesperson, outlined the industries that would benefit in the year of the "black water snake." "As the water snake enters the picture, she brings along a lot of water on heavenly stems. This will counteract with the earthly branches, favoring transport, logistics, shipping, gambling, tourism and infrastructure."Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

GfK User Centric to Help Practitioners Rethink the Status Quo in Contact Centers
CHICAGO, Nov 14, 2012 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- Client-focused organizations cannot run without effective tools; yet, many contact centers provide their representatives with inefficient software and inadequate information. As the largest global user experience research and design firm, GfK User Centric uses scientific research to help contact centers design and provide representatives tools to impart a positive impression of the organization to the customer and increase revenues through benefit selling.
"In contact centers, the adage that 'time is money' is particularly true," said Robert Schumacher, executive vice president of GfK User Centric. "The highest cost in any call center is human capital -- the salary expense of reps and staff. But, call efficiency depends on the user interface, which must be designed and thought about carefully using key principles." Schumacher will outline how contact centers can measure and improve long-term user performance, best practices in designing contact center user interfaces, and key considerations when launching new contact center applications.
The free webinar will take place on Thursday, November 15, at 12 p.m. CST. Interested professionals can register at
The webinar series will continue on December 4 with a discussion on the power and limitations of software dashboards. For a full schedule of upcoming webinars and access to on-demand recordings of previous webinars, visit

Make Cool Stuff: The Green Lantern Edition
By Mindy Holahan on June 8, 2011
Green Lantern fans, this one's for you! We've got instructions for your very own power battery, five versions of the ring, and logo graphs for your needlecraft needs.
The Power Battery
Instructables user Uniqueutopia has a kid who is really into the Green Lantern, so he mocked up this awesome Power Battery for Christmas. Click the link for full instructions; no soldering or electrical knowledge required.
The Ring
Two different Instructables users offer up plans for the Green Lantern ring. Professional jeweler Honus's plans offer instructions for casting in silver, green resin, or a translucent resin with an embedded LED. I know if I'm going to the trouble, I'd want my ring to glow.
Instructables user aintMichael gives us a wooden version, if carving's more your thing:
Over at Craftser, Shala (user SKerri13) offers up charts for a bead-stitched ring:
Knitters and other needle crafters need not be left out. Shala, over on her website Don't Eat the Paste, has also put together some knitting charts for the Green Lantern logo. I could see these being used for embroidery or cross-stitching as well.
Good luck! If you know of any other Green Lantern craft tutorials, post the links below!
You can follow Mindy on Twitter: @HolaMindy
Mindy prefers her beat-up Superman ring, although admittedly she did not make it herself.
I've been looking for some crafts to do with my girls this summer, to slowly draw them into the nerd/geek way of life, and this is perfect!
Any other geekily inclined parents should check out The Geek Dad's Guide to Weekend Fun. No, I'm not an editor, just a fan of the book.
I am definitely going to be making one of these in the near future. I hope you don't mind, but I linked back to it.
"In brightest day, in blackest night
No diy project shall escape my sight.

Beware my power, Green Lantern's light!"Hal 3ToF Jordan
I think my ears are burning…
Chris and Mindy, thanks so much for your kind words!
That dad has struck again!! See his instructable – How to Make a Green Lantern Power Battery (2011)
[…] Mindy showed us how to make Green Lantern stuff. She gave us just enough lead time to get it done before the movie […]

"Is it America the Beautiful or America the Ugly? You decide."
I've decided. It's beautiful in my book!
Of the worlds population only some 4.5% of us get to live in America and I'm thankful to be one of them. If there is one thing ugly about America it has to be its anonymous social media where anybody can say anything and get away with it. There is no other population on this planet that likes to bitch and complain more then we Americans.

The Emotional Lexicon of Individuals Diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder
- Barbara Gawda
- … show all 1 hide
This study investigated the specific emotional lexicons in narratives created by persons diagnosed with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) to test the hypothesis that individuals with ASPD exhibit deficiencies in emotional language. Study participants consisted of 60 prison inmates with ASPD, 40 prison inmates without ASPD, and 60 men without antisocial tendencies who described situations involving love, hate and anxiety depicted by photographs. The lexical choices made in the narratives were analyzed, and a comparison of the three groups revealed differences between the emotional narratives of inmates with ASPD, inmates without ASPD, and the control group. Although the narratives of the individuals with ASPD included more words describing emotions and higher levels of emotional intensity, the valence of these words was inappropriate. The linguistic characteristics of these narratives were associated with high levels of psychopathy and low emotional reactivity.

Bad news down under this week, as the prolific Australian firm, Fuel VFX, has made a 'backs to the wall' decision to go into voluntary administration. Having worked on such films as Prometheus, The Avengers and Iron Man over the last few years, we can safely say the world of VFX will be missing this hive of talent!
Everything is just Vine...
Over the past six months we have been working with Michael Illingworth, founder of Vine Post Production to expand his studio. Michael has worked at The Mill and Cinesite and has been involved in post-production, compositing and visual effects supervision on some of the biggest film names in the industry including the Harry Potter franchise, Gladiator and Black Hawk Down.
A one day VFX taster session!
"Big things have small beginnings", was an idea acknowledged in Ridley Scott's Prometheus, released earlier this year. And for us, this statement couldn't be more true. Taking the art of visual effects as a prime example, the spectacular CG you see on screens today was born from the most basic of concepts, and the people who created those effects invested significant time and energy to become the talented artists they are today. Every creative talent has to start out somewhere, and with the right levels of care and determination, it can evolve into something magnificent.
Total Recall, Terrific Reception?
This year's remake of cult classic 'Total Recall' has sparked some serious controversy in the world of film. Here at Escape Studios we are PUMPED for its release, given the fact that a number of our graduates have worked on it over the last year, on the VFX side of things.
SIGGRAPH Round Up...
Another year another SIGGRAPH and what a packed in week it was. This year, LA didn't just give us earthquakes, heat waves and the biggest burritos known to man but also a full week of presentations from some of the biggest and newest studios plus an exhibition hall packed with the latest technology from around the world.
Here is a quick summary and a few favourites from last week. These are just some of the things to check out:
Web series spotlight; H+
When television orignally began, there was only a handful of black and white channels, horse and carriages wandered down our cobbled streets, and people didn't need the internet because they were too busy feeding their clothes through mangles in caves, or something! The first type of TV shows were comedies, and variety shows, and over time, they evolved into dramas, then slowly into the level of award-winning quality we see today. The internet is following a similar pattern; where as video sites originally appeared so we could swap videos of people falling over and kittens kittening, the medium is steadily evolving to produce high quality dramatic web shows.
Gold Medal VFX
In case you hadn't heard, the Olympics is on at the moment, and amidst the gold medals, world records, union jacks and jovial sports fans, there have been a number of VFX delights that have caught our eye here at Escape, and we thought we'd share a couple with you!
Dad What Are You Doing? It's Shark Week!
Get ready for bone crushing monsters in mind blowing HD slow motion next week, as on August 12th, the Discovery Channel (US) is set to broadcast the 25th season of 'Shark Week'. The resounding success of this series speaking for itself as it celebrates its quarter century anniversary.
Match It with 3.1
Last week we informed you of the new releases from the Pixel Farm, PFTrack and PFMatchit.
Super Mario On A Whole Different Level
Now, I have to admit that I'm not the biggest fan of stop motion videos, but quite a few people around here really like them and I certainly appreciate the work that goes into creating them. Therefore I felt the need to share this one I spotted at TheVerge.com. It was made by a guy called Zach King and contains everyones favourite Mario and a couple of other guest appearances which you'll no doubt spot.
My, That's A Lot Of Dwarfs You Got There
Peter Jackson, reknowned director for the massively popular Lord of the Rings trilogy took to Facebook earlier this week to announce that his latest creation The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will now be a trilogy of films.
Ever Wanted To See Your Name In Lights?
Or wanted to be able to say, 'I did that', when watching a film and seeing a huge, breath taking explosion? Then maybe you should start to think about pursuing a career in Visual Effects. At Escape Studios, we want to make those first steps into the industry as easy as possible whilst providing you with the tools to succeed. Our Visual Effects Production course will not only give you the skills to progress in the exciting world of Film Visual Effects, but will also show you how to make an impressive show reel (which results in many of our students securing jobs once they have finished.)
Batman's Greatest Hits
Following on from my previous blog about The Dark Knight Rises, I thought you would all be interested to see what IGN claim are Batman's Greatest Movie Moments. They span across all Batman films and, although there will be some obvious choices thrown in there, a couple will probably shock you.
A Quick And Honest Review
Last weekend I finally got to see The Dark Knight Rises. I love a bit of Batman, with my favourite being Batman Returns (1992) as it has a few of my loves under one roof: Michael Keaton, Danny DeVito and Tim Burton.
A Union Of Olympic Standard
It has been brought to our attention that Visual Effects facility Union VFX have recently collaborated with award winning director Danny Boyle on a couple of projects.
Putting The "New" in PFTrack and PFMatchit
We are pleased to share you that The Pixel Farm products PFTrack and PFMatchit are now available on the Escape Studios Technology Store.
The Foundry Summer Spectacular
Yesterday we announced the 1-day sale for The Foundry's MARI but what we didn't mention is that The Foundry and Escape Studios are treating everyone to a super summer sale. And there is no need to wait until August for these ones!
The summer promotions come in three pretty epic packages:

Pinerolo, Province of Torino, Piedmont, Italy
Pinerolo is a town 37 km southwest of Turin, along the Sestriere road connecting Turin to the Monginevro hill. It is situated where the Val Lemina and the Val Pellice join the Val Chisone, and it has a special climate protected from the cold Alpine wind by the hills.
Altitude: 376 m a.s.l
-- Population: about 35,000 inhabitants
-- Zip/postal code: 10064 -- Phone Area Code: 0121
-- Patron Saint: San Donato celebrated on the Monday following the last Sunday in August
-- Frazioni & Localities: Abbadia Alpina, Ainana, Avaro/Tron, Bacchiasso, Batur, Baudenasca, Biscornetto, Borgata Colombaio, Borgata Orba, C.E.P., Cascina della Cappella, Cascina Ghiotta, Cascina Gili, Cascina Nuova, Cascina Pol, Case Bianche, Case Nuove, Colletto, Gerbido di Costagrande, Gerbido di Riva, Graniera, Losani, Motta Grossa, Pascaretto, Riauna, Riva, Rubiani, Salera, San Martino, Stazione di Riva, Talucco, Villa Motta Rasini
Pinerolo was the host city of the Curling events and Paralympic tournaments at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
What to see
- Nearby is the Fortezza di Fenestrelle the longest fortress in Europe, in which the "Man with the Iron Mask" was imprisoned. The Man in the Iron Mask was a prisoner believed to have been held in the Bastille prison from an unknown date to his death on November 19, 1703. The identity of this man has been thoroughly discussed, mainly because no one ever saw his face as it was hidden by a black velvet mask, which later re-tellings of the story have said to have been an iron mask. The first surviving records of the masked prisoner are from July 1, 1669, when Louis XIV's minister Louvois sent a masked prisoner to the care of governor marquis de Saint-Mars of the prison of Pinerolo.
- Museo Nazionale dell'Arma di Cavalleria (National Cavalry Museum).
- Museum of Sacred Art
- Study Centre and Museum of Prehistoric Art
- Collezione Civica d'Arte di Palazzo Vittone
- Museo Civico Etnografico del Pinerolese
Pinerolo has always had a great strategic importance; infact it was a commercial centre which lead to France. When it became under the French in the 16th century, the king's best military architects changed Pinerolo into a stronghold. The Duomo, built in the 11th century, was reconstructed in the 15th century, but only remains,of the original Gothic building,the doorway and the campanile (1425, unfinished).

James Vaughan was on target for Huddersfield on Monday. Picture: Paul Chesterton / Focus Images
Paddy Davitt
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Norwich City boss Chris Hughton has insisted that James Vaughan is not for sale after a superb start to his season-long loan spell at Championship high-flyers Huddersfield.
Terriers' counterpart Simon Grayson raised the prospect of a permanent deal for Vaughan after the ex-Evertonian plundered his second goal in five appearances in the impressive midweek 3-1 win at Blackpool.
Hughton insists he sanctioned a season-long move to give Vaughan the chance to re-ignite an injury-hit Norwich career – not to put the 24-year-old in the shop window.
"At this moment in time that is just hypothetical," said Hughton. "He has played five games for them and I think probably any sort of judgement, by anybody, would have to come after a longer period of time. If he has made that comment, then it means of course that he is happy with him and if he is then he is playing well. Our objective was to send him on loan to get the games he needs and if he does that it allows him to improve as a player. That was our objective.
"At this moment we are not thinking about anything like a sale. We just want to get him through this period of time and then evaluate things again after this loan period has finished. What we hope is that when it does come to a finish people are still talking about him as they are at the minute – but the most important people who have to speak about him is of course ourselves."
Vaughan's goalscoring form is in stark contrast to Norwich's own early season Premier League struggles in front of goal, but Hughton is adamant a loan move lower down the tree was the right call for both parties.
"I can understand people saying that. He is our player and I can understand the thinking, but the reason why he dropped down to Championship level was to get the games," said Hughton, who also confirmed the Canaries do not have a recall option as part of Vaughan's loan switch to West Yorkshire. "We hope it is a good season for him and that he plays a lot of games, scores goals and comes through a consistent period and then we have a better player.
"I am absolutely delighted to see him scoring goals. He started one game here last season and he missed a big chunk of the season through injury. So for that reason when we thought about the possibilities of him going out on loan to the Championship it was for that very reason. For him to get games, to go through a longer period of playing games and hopefully come back to us as a better player for it.."
Grayson revealed after his side's Championship win at the Tangerines on Monday he would consider a potential permanent New Year move for Vaughan.
"Signing James in January is a possibility," he said. "We've got him on loan until the end of the season, so that is an option. I've got a chairman who is willing to back me."
8 comments
The only way the loan of Vaughan makes any sense is to get him ready to play for Norwich in the Championship next season. That sort of planning we do not need.

Which is why guys, people like myself, those who have contributed for a longtime, have stopped posting messages because of the negative and sometimes even nasty comments that are being made and, in some cases, being directed at individual bloggers. It's not worth the aggro or the pain.
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
NCFC98, haven't you noticed the "let's be miserable" competition on these pages. At the moment Vaughan is being represented as the lost saviour. Watch this space, as soon as Vaughan gets his annual season ending injury (next month?) there will be calls for Chris Martin to get regular games as all he needs is (yet) another chance.
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
On the rumour side of things, JV wasn't 100% settled at the club as it was, high wages and probably not immediately in the managers plans = loaning out was probably the better idea. Cody McDonald situation all over again? However with a proper season of football (hopefully!) under his belt, he'll return a better player & more importantly fitter.
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
Glad to read a City comments page not full of overly negative responses. Norwich scored enough goals with the same forwards last season. Still concerned about the lack of goals or a cutting edge though. Unlike last season, I do not feel other teams will score so heavily against us. Vaughan is unproven in the Premier League as indeed is Jordan Rhodes. Will James Vaughan want to commit to us after his loan ends? As for Rhodes a move a short distance across the Pennines to relegated Blackburn is a good move for him. Not sure Rhodes would want to come down here.

And they are the coments we do not want to read. It is though you want to see NCFC relegated to justify your negative viewsthoughts. why don't you just support the decisions and get behind the team
Wednesday, September 26, 2012
yeh noticed the "lets be miserable" competition along with the who can be the most gloomiest for the 201213 season. Seems we have quite a few entrants!!!! I get sick of reading all this doom and gloom when we are only 5 games into the current campaign. We are not playing badly and just need that stroke of luck to get us going. We've got quality players and things will come together. So all of you out there get behind the team and stop whinging and moaning

HONOLULU (AP) — An invasion of box jellyfish prompted Honolulu officials to close Hanauma Bay over the weekend.
Lifeguards counted more than 50 box jellyfish onshore Saturday and more than 30 people were stung.
Ocean Safety officials were expected to re-evaluate the popular snorkeling spot Sunday to determine if it should remain closed.
Officials said beachgoers going to other south shore beaches on Oahu should also exercise caution.

rubicon/donovan partnership – publishers should be wary
In one of the most interesting ad platform / ad exchange developments in recent memory, agency platform powerhouse Donovan Data Systems, in conjunction with Rubicon, announced its Direct Publisher Gateway (DPG) last week. This will give media planners and buyers direct-from-their-desktop connection from DPG into the Rubicon's SSP inventory universe.
What does this mean for the industry? Well, compelling press releases are easy to write, so this could just be a useful cross-promotion vehicle for the two firms.
But on its face, this does look like a breakthrough development in automating and aligning buy- and sell-side processes. That's the good news — I'm all for putting fax machines out of commission.
Now for the harder questions:
- Does this represent a new and valuable monetization channel for publishers, perhaps catalyzing a more efficient spot market or delivering on the promise of a "secondary premium" opportunity shoehorned between direct and remnant sales?
- Or, instead, does the entrance of Donovan simply mean there is now yet another intermediary looking to shave pennies, nickels, and dimes off of publishers' eCPM margins?
- Given Donovan's staggering 80% agency market share, will this prove to be another powerful tool for planners and buyers to bypass publishers' direct sales forces entirely?
- With Rubicon developing such a deep relationship with an agency platform provider, is their role as publishers' trusted revenue partner somehow undermined?
- And what about Donovan's intentions? With their agency reach, they are now only steps away from taking an active role in the market. What's to keep them from becoming some kind of broker/reseller/agent themselves?
- Moreover, could publishers wake up one day to find that their SSP, Rubicon, is actually just an exchange – or worse yet, a co-branded DSP with reach onto the desktops of 80% of media buyers' desktops?
Depending on the ultimate scope of the relationship, it could represent a pretty disruptive move by the buy-side in the ongoing data and media arms race. And it certainly highlights the shifting market terrain and the risk posed by many market intermediaries.
I predict publishers will more than a little leery about this.

Pork Industry Apparently Can't Take A Joke
For April Fool's Day, an online store for geeks invented a fake product called Canned Unicorn Meat. Its slogan: "The new white meat." The National Pork Board didn't get the joke. It recently sent the website a 12-page cease-and-desist letter for copying its slogan "The other white meat."

Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne.
The online store Think Geek on April Fool's Day invented a fake product. It's called Canned Unicorn Meat. The slogan: The new white meat. The National Pork Board still hasn't gotten the joke. It recently sent the website a 12-page cease-and-desist letter for copying its slogan: The other white meat. The ad is still up, but Think Geek has apologized for misleading anyone about the differences between pigs and unicorns.

Banah Sugar, Hialeah Firm Promised Big Tax Breaks, Files for Bankruptcy
Categories: Banana Republican
Alexander I. Perez, Miami-Dade Mayor Carlos Gimenez, and County Commission Chairwoman Rebeca Sosa were all smiles in July. |
On July 13 of last year, Hialeah and Miami-Dade elected officials -- including county Mayor Carlos Gimenez and county Commission Chairwoman Rebeca Sosa -- joined Banah Sugar founder and owner Alexander I. Perez to celebrate renaming part of SE Tenth Avenue after his company. At the time, no one bothered to look into Perez's checkered past and a long trail of litigation against him.
See also:
- Carlos Gimenez, Rebeca Sosa and David Rivera Shower Favors On Ex-Cocaine Trafficker (Updated)
- Banah Sugar Ordered To Pay $208,000 Final Judgment
For instance, city and county officials did not know that Perez is a convicted cocaine trafficker who served four years in federal prison until New Times brought this fact to their attention. At the time, Gimenez spokeswoman Suzy Trutie and Commissioner Sosa said Perez's conviction was a moot issue.
But Perez also engaged in questionable business dealings since he was released from prison.
As Hialeah and Miami-Dade County were giving him the star treatment, Perez was being sued by his former landlord for not paying his rent, by two vendors for not paying for containers and labels to pack his sugar, and by a bank that was owed $327,623 for funding his initial payroll costs. One of the vendors, All-American Containers, won a default judgment for $208,000 against Banah on October 25.
In January, five more lawsuits were filed against Banah and Perez, including an eviction complaint from his current landlord. Since our first article about the Banah debacle, New Times has been approached by at least a dozen former employees who claim they were paid sporadically or not at all. (Perez did not respond to a message left on his cell phone.)
The bankruptcy was filed under Chapter 11, allowing Perez to reorganize his company and continue to manage its day-to-day operations. However, the bankruptcy court must make all the company's important decisions. Banah reported that it owed between $1 million and $10 million to a list of 232 people and companies, according to its February 21 bankruptcy filing.
According to El Nuevo Herald, Banah will not receive the $400,000 in tax breaks because it failed to create 300 jobs.

Is that the digital test? If so, they say NOT to look at the inner parts of them, because of the two lines... I am not positive.. but I am pretty sure I read that on POAS.com..
Good Luck!! Hope it's your BFP!

ANY blue line however skinny and faint should be a positive test. You have to read it within the specific amount of time in the instructions, but you say the line was there right away, so that should be positive!

My experience with blue dye is not great.. If it truly came up right away I would say positive, if it was an hour I would say it's not. I would definatly go to your Dr. for blood work to put your mind at ease... Big FX for you though!!!!! Can't wait to see

Newbaby is right Ponytails..your not done with this cycle until AF comes to visit..I know how you feel though because Ive done that as well, its hard going through this sway stuff and not think about it all the time, especially when you know the exact days everything happens..Stay positive, even though I know it's hard..it's still early to test so give it a few days..but I really thought that was a positive when you posted it..
I havent had too much luck with the clearblue easy tests, pregnancy or Ovu.. and I had never heard of the line showing up inside the test..I guess I learn something everyday..all my tests for the last 2 ttc were purple dyes.

We have used a yeast genetic system to isolate cDNAs encoding proteins that specifically interact with the ligand-binding domain of human retinoid X receptor-alpha (RXR alpha). A number encoded portions of two known RXR heterodimer partners, the retinoic acid receptor (RAR) and the peroxisome proliferator activated receptor. Of four additional RXR-interacting proteins (RIPs) selected for further study two, RIP14 and RIP15, are previously unidentified orphan members of the nuclear receptor superfamily. Two others, RIP110 and RIP13, do not show significant similarities to previously reported proteins. RIP110 interacts with LexA-RXR only in yeast cells grown in the presence of the RXR ligand 9-cis-RA, while the interaction of the four receptor superfamily members and RIP13 is unaffected by the presence or absence of 9-cis-RA. RIP110 and RIP13 also interact in yeast with several other members of the receptor superfamily, but RIP14 and RIP15 interact only with RXR. Analysis of larger cDNA clones demonstrates that there are at least two isoforms of RIP14 that differ in the N-terminal (A and B) and hinge (D) domains. Northern blot analysis indicates that RIP14 is expressed specifically in liver and kidney, while RIP15 is expressed in every tissue tested. Both RIP14 and 15 bind as heterodimers with RXR to the RA response element (RARE) from the promoter of the RAR beta 2 isoform (the beta RARE), and RIP14 and RXR heterodimers also bind the ecdysone response element from the Drosophila heat shock protein 27 promoter. Both heterodimers also bind to several synthetic RAREs and other elements. In cotransfections, neither RIP14 nor RIP15 trans-activates a reporter containing multiple copies of the beta RARE under any of a variety of conditions, suggesting that their activities are dependent on the binding of as yet unidentified specific ligands or on activation by other processes.

Friday's THE FLYING FLICK!
Last Friday on the debut THE FRIDAY FLICK! there was a fun animated bit. This week it's live action. Well, sorta. The part I really love about this Private Snuffy Smith movie is that the opening that shows drawings of Snuffy, Lowizie and The Sergeant that morph into the live action actors. The drawings ain't exactly by the great Billy DeBeck who drew the comic adventures of Snuffy Smith and Barney Google for he funnies, but it's still a good time! Oh, and D.J. David B., there's a "Time's A Wastin' " and a "Yardbirds" song that's part of the festivities. After the movies I do have an unpublished drawing by DeBeck of Snuffy and Barney from my collection for your pleasure and a pic of DeBeck.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Friday, November 29, 11:59 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Site: Sullivan Arena (8,700) -- Anchorage, Alaska. Television: None. Home Record: Green Bay 2-1, Harvard 3-0. Away Record: Green Bay 0-0, Harvard 0-1. Neutral Record: Green Bay 1-0, Harvard 2-0. Conference Record: Green Bay 0-0, Harvard 0-0. Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: In the semifinals of the Great Alaska Shootout the Green Bay Phoenix will clash with the Harvard Crimson at Sullivan Arena.
In a high-scoring affair during the first round, the Phoenix was able to outlast Pepperdine and claim a 97-89 victory on Thursday. The win was the third in four games on the campaign for Green Bay.
Harvard got back in the win column with a 68-60 triumph over Denver in the first round of the tournament. The Crimson fell on the road to Colorado (70-62) in their previous contest, with that loss ending a four-game win streak to start the year.
This matchup will be the first ever between these two programs on the hardwood.
The winner of this contest will take on the victor of the Tulsa/TCU semifinal in the tournament's title game on Saturday.
Despite allowing the Waves to hit 55.4 percent of their field goal tries and being outscored (39-30) from beyond the arc, the Phoenix still rose above Pepperdine. The difference was how frequently Green Bay got the free-throw line, where it outscored Pepperdine by a 25-4 margin.
Green Bay is scoring 81.5 points per game and hitting on 47.1 percent of their field goal attempts. Then on defense the Phoenix is holding teams to 39.4 percent shooting. However, those numbers have largely been influenced by matchups with lesser competition as the Phoenix have played two of their four games against opponents outside of the Division I ranks. Keifer Sykes (21.5 ppg, 3.2 apg) leads the team in scoring and assists. Sykes is joined by four other players averaging in double figures, with reserve Vincent Garrett (12.2 ppg) the second best option.
In the win over Denver the Crimson enjoyed a hefty advantage on the boards, grabbing 38 to the 23 collected by the Pioneers. The Crimson hit 46.9 percent of their shots from the floor and were led by a 20-point, eight-rebound effort from Steve Moundou-Missi.
Harvard's showing on the defensive end has been critical to their early season success. The Crimson are limiting opponents to 58.5 points per game on just over 40 percent shooting from the field. Wesley Saunders (15.8 ppg) was also instrumental in the win over Denver, as he dropped in 19 points, while grabbing eight rebounds and handing out three assists. Saunders is the leading scorer on the year for the Crimson. Moundou-Missi (12.3 ppg, 6.8 rpg) is a solid scorer and a strong rebounder. Kyle Casey (10.7 ppg) is the third option, though he struggled a bit against Denver, netting only 4-of-12 shots from the floor.
The Crimson have been playing efficient basketball on both ends of the floor. Expect Saunders and company to put forth another solid effort en route to a win.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Harvard 71, Green Bay 61

I watched the 1st episode of the fourth Three Sheets season on Monday the 20th, and Zane was in Wales. I found one pub very interesting, where their keg system was actually primed, and their taps were "hand pumped", did anyone else catch this? If so, has anyone ever tried this type of system, or have any knowledge or info on it? I thought it was brilliant, I have it DVR'd so I need to watch it again, but I beleive they said that once the keg is tapped it had to be used within 48 hours if I'm not mistaken. I just thought it was really cool, and I was wondering if something similar could be done with say a 3 gallon corny. All of the kegs they were using in that pub were the side bung type, I don't know if that makes any difference or if it simply for storage purposes, but at any rate it was cool!
I think those types of taps/kegs are what're referred to as "Cask Conditioned" Ales. They have to be consumed rather quickly because the kegs don't hold pressure, hence the pumping.
"...Careful, man...there's a beverage here!..."
Yeah. Cask conditioned it is. People also call it Real Ale. If you look up CAMRA, you'll be able to read all about it.
For a beer to "legally" be called Real Ale, it can't be force-carbonated or dispensed by gas. Mechanical dispensing is the only allowed method. There's some good info about this in Terry Foster's Pale Ale book. Many "bottle conditioned" beers are also Real Ales.Amazon.com: Pale Ale, Revised: History, Brewing, Techniques, Recipes (Classic Beer Style Series, 1) (9780937381694): Terry Foster: Books From CAMRA:
Best Regards, James -- My beer blog: http://brewdujour.blogspot.com My website: http://www.carbon111.comFermenting: Carbon's Grizzly Bear, Young's Special London Ale (clone)Bottled/Conditioning:Siberian Raven Winter Ale, Cherry Tree Porter, Victoria's Dirty SecretDrinking: Montgomery Scottish Ale, Thames American Bitter, Crow's Beak Old Ale, Bastet Brown, Carbon's Cascade Ale, Red Silo Honey IPA
That's what it was "cask conditioned", cool, I thought it was neat. I'd never seen it before.

Harry Bentley has admitted his disappointment after connections of Lightning Thunder confirmed the booking of Olivier Peslier for Friday's Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.
Bentley partnered the Olly Stevens-trained filly to finish second in the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket before going on to claim the same position in the Irish equivalent.
Bentley is second jockey behind Jamie Spencer to owners Pearl Bloodstock and Qatar Racing and with Spencer set to ride Kiyoshi in the Group One contest, he could have been in line for another big-race mount.
However, Peslier will be in the saddle this time, a decision that Bentley fully understands.
He told racinguk.com: "I'm obviously disappointed that I won't be partnering Lightning Thunder in the Coronation Stakes. Pearl Bloodstock and Qatar Racing wanted someone with more big-race experience then myself, and they don't come more experienced than Olivier.
"It is a big operation and I am just delighted to be part of the team. I understand that there will be plenty of other opportunities throughout the remainder of the season and I hope I can make my mark in these top races."
Lightning Thunder and Kiyoshi are among 12 fillies declared for the mile event with Aidan O'Brien relying on beaten 1000 Guineas favourite Tapestry.
John Oxx has declared My Titania, who will be making her seasonal bow, while French raider Lesstalk In Paris and Rosalind, trained in America by Kenny McPeek, add an extra international dimension.
Newmarket fifth Euro Charline tries here luck again along with Guineas also-rans Rizeena, Sandiva and Lucky Kristale, who will be partnered by Richard Hughes this time. J Wonder and Radiator complete the line up.

For those of you, like me, who are relatively unfamiliar with Baccarat, this game provides a great introduction to the casino card game, including history, rules, strategy, and realistic gameplay. Baccarat is a relatively simple game. Unlike other casino games, it really doesn't involve much player interaction. All you have to do is select your bet amount and bet on the player's hand, banker's hand, or a tie. Two cards are then dealt to the player and dealer. The object is to get closest to 9. If you go over 9, the count rolls over and you drop the tens unit. The croupier/dealer determines if you need another card. Then it's the dealers turn to draw, if necessary.
The game looks great and the action seems like it's a good simulation of the table game. There's some customization if you so choose. Since I'm not a big baccarat player, I just couldn't get into the app. I can't see myself playing for more than a few minutes with fake money and trying to guess if the player, banker, or both (tie) will win the next hand. Reading up on strategy, you're supposed to look for trends and streaks in the shoe. Even considering probability and trends, I think this game becomes slightly more exciting than a series of coin flips. Maybe someone who's into baccarat can appreciate the finer points of this game.
In the end, I think it's worth the $0.99 to learn about what baccarat's all about and try the game first-hand. I don't think it's worth more, unless you're a baccarat player.

Market Cycles: The Key To Maximum Returns
We've all heard of market bubbles and many of us know someone who's been caught in one. Although there are plenty of lessons to be learned from past bubbles, market participants still get sucked in each time a new one comes around. A bubble is only one part of an important phase in markets, so if you want to avoid being caught off guard, it is essential to know what the different phases are. An understanding of how markets work and a good grasp of technical analysis can help you recognize market cycles. (To read about history's greatest market crashes, check out The Greatest Market Crashes.)
The Four Phases
Cycles are prevalent in all aspects of life; they range from the very short term, like the life cycle of a June bug, which lives only a few days, to the life cycle of a planet, which takes billions of years.
No matter what market you are referring to, all have similar characteristics and go through the same phases. All markets are cyclical. They go up, peak, go down and then bottom. When one cycle is finished, the next begins.
The problem is that most investors and traders either fail to recognize that markets are cyclical or forget to expect the end of the current market phase. Another significant challenge is that, even when you accept the existence of cycles, it is nearly impossible to pick the top or bottom of one. But an understanding of cycles is essential if you want to maximize investment or trading returns. Here are the four major components of a market cycle and how you can recognize them. (For more on how to recognize market cycles, read Sector Rotation: The Essentials.)
This phase occurs after the market has bottomed and the innovators (corporate insiders and a few value investors) and early adopters (smart money managers and experienced traders) begin to buy, figuring that the worst is over. At this phase, valuations are very attractive, and general market sentiment is still bearish. Articles in the media preach doom and gloom, and those who were long through the worst of the bear market have recently capitulated, that is, given up and sold the rest of their holdings in disgust. But in the accumulation phase, prices have flattened and for every seller throwing in the towel, someone is there to pick it up at a healthy discount. Overall market sentiment begins to switch from negative to neutral.
At this stage, the market has been stable for a while and is beginning to move higher. The early majority are getting on the bandwagon. This group includes technicians who, seeing that the market is putting in higher lows and higher highs, recognize that market direction and sentiment have changed. Media stories begin to discuss the possibility that the worst is over, but unemployment continues to rise, as do reports of layoffs in many sectors. As this phase matures, more investors jump on the bandwagon as fear of being in the market is supplanted by greed and the fear of being left out.
As this phase begins to come to an end, the late majority jump in and market volumes begin to increase substantially. At this point, the greater fool theory prevails. Valuations climb well beyond historic norms, and logic and reason take a back seat to greed. While the late majority are getting in, the smart money and insiders are unloading. But as prices begin to level off, or as the rise slows down, those laggards who have been sitting on the sidelines see this as a buying opportunity and jump in en masse. Prices make one last parabolic move, known in technical analysis as a selling climax, when the largest gains in the shortest periods often occur. But the cycle is nearing the top of the bubble. Sentiment moves from neutral to bullish to downright euphoric during this phase. (For more, read The Stock Cycle: What Goes Up Must Come Down.)
In the third phase of the market cycle, sellers begin to dominate. This part of the cycle is identified by a period in which the bullish sentiment of the previous phase turns into a mixed sentiment. Prices can often stay locked in a trading range that can last a few weeks or even months. For example, when the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) peaked in Jan 2000, it traded down to the vicinity of its prior peak and stayed there over a period of more than 18 months. But the distribution phase can come and go quickly; for the Nasdaq Composite, the distribution phase was less than a month long, as it peaked in Mar 2000 and then retreated shortly thereafter. When this phase is over, the market reverses direction. Classic patterns like double and triple tops, as well as head and shoulders top patterns, are examples of movements that occur during the distribution phase. (For more on understanding moves in the major indexes, read How Now, Dow? What Moves The DJIA?)
The distribution phase is a very emotional time for the markets, as investors are gripped by periods of complete fear interspersed with hope and even greed as the market may at times appear to be taking off again. Valuations are extreme in many issues and value investors have long been sitting on the sidelines. Sentiment slowly but surely begins to change, but this transition can happen quickly if accelerated by a strongly negative geopolitical event or extremely bad economic news. Those who are unable to sell for a profit settle for a breakeven or a small loss.
- Mark-Down Phase
The fourth and final phase in the cycle is the most painful for those who still hold positions. Many hang on because their investment has fallen below what they paid for it, behaving like the pirate who falls overboard clutching a bar of gold, refusing to let go in the vain hope of being rescued. It is only when the market has plunged 50% or more that the laggards, many of whom bought during the distribution or early mark-down phase, give up or capitulate. Unfortunately, this is a buy signal for early innovators and a sign that a bottom is imminent. But alas, it is new investors who will buy the depreciated investment during the next accumulation phase and enjoy the next mark-up.
A cycle can last anywhere from a few weeks to a number of years, depending on the market in question and the time horizon at which you are looking. A day trader using five-minute bars may see four or more complete cycles per day while, for a real estate investor, a cycle may last 18-20 years.
