Bangladeshi hot girls in sea beach
Bangladeshi people have unique dress preferences. Bangladeshi men wear panjabi on religious and cultural occasions, lungi as casual wear and shirt-pant on formal occasions. Sari is the main dress of Bangladeshi women
Bangladesh (help·info) (Bengali: ????????, pronounced ['ba?lad?e?]; Bangladesh), officially the The People's Republic of Bangladesh (Bengali: ?????????????? ???????? Gônoprojatontri Banglades) is a country in South Asia.
It is bordered by India on all sides except for a small border with Burma (Myanmar) to the far southeast and by the Bay of Bengal to the south.
Sari weaving is a traditional art in Bangladesh. Salwar kameez is quite popular, especially among younger women. Some women in urban areas also wear pants, skirts and tops.

I don't know how Bangladeshi women do it, but they deserve more respect than they receive. Regardless of whether raising a child or having a job and feeding a whole family, the life is hard but these women are strong.ReplyDelete

Working with Prosopon faculty, participants will study the techniques of painting icons, including transferring of the image, applying the gold leaf, and the egg tempera technique. Students will use natural materials and the traditional multi-step process to paint their own icons of Archangel Michael. Previous students can make special arrangements with the instructor to paint another subject for their icon workshop. Throughout the course, students will be introduced to iconology, iconic symbolism, and the theological and philosophical basis of each step. No previous artistic experience is required.

Now there is no place to input a pin. It's simply a dialog box with the pin showing. It says to type the pin from the keyboard and hit enter.
Question: is this a bluestack dialog box?
From a CM rom, the dialog box is the old style. But in sense roms it's the new style.

Pac-12 commissioner Scott: listening, not luring
Texas athletic director DeLoss Dodds reiterated Saturday before the Longhorns' opener against Rice that they love the Big 12 and want to stay in the league. He said Texas will be watching to see what happens over the next few days if Oklahoma decides to leave, but that Texas will be fine no matter what happens to the Big 12.
While the Longhorn Network stands as a potential obstacle should Texas decide it wants to be part of a move to the Pac-12, there could be the possibility of that contract somehow becoming part of the Pac-12 television deal that consists of six regional networks.
Kansas State athletic director John Currie said his school remains committed to the Big 12, whether that means in its current configuration or through future expansion. He said the primary goal is to achieve stability.
For the Big 12, that has become a tedious challenge.
"We thought we had nine schools that were committed, strongly committed, to the conference," Kansas athletic director Sheahon Zenger, expressing disappointment that Oklahoma is talking about leaving the Big 12.
Missouri athletic director Mike Alden said Oklahoma's interest in switching conferences only reinforces the notion of instability in the Big 12, but that he remains focused on keeping the conference intact.
Scott said further consolidation and more stability, in whatever form, would be healthy for college football.
"I think people ultimately will want to gravitate toward conferences with stability, associating with them," Scott said. "And I consider our conference one of those."
New Fiesta Bowl executive director Robert Shelton, who was also at Cowboys Stadium on Saturday night, said he has concerns about conferences growing too large. The former University of Arizona president said, however, that college football is strong enough to survive however it is configured.
"At this point, I'm not a fan of the megaconference," Shelton said. "Not because I think it's the death of college football, but I think it just on the whole brings more problems that have to be sorted out from benefits."

Dominion sympathizes for losing teams. Rubberbanding, artificial "close games", etc.
When my team is leading with 400+ points and the enemy has less than 100, I know that the match will not end so easily. The rubberband mechanics of Dominion will favor the losing team and postpone the match until it becomes artificially "a close game". My team will win with ~50 points left or so.
No matter how much effort you put into having that 400+ point lead, no matter how hard you fought for that advantage, the Dominion system will artificially create this long, drawn out illusion that the losing team can still win. It bothers me because it's the system that induces the artificial "close game". It's not the enemy team that's shaping up and getting better with player skill. It's the system feeding gold to the losing team, protecting them from the loss of Nexus points by champion deaths, modification of respawn timers, etc.
Anyone else bothered by the artificial feeling of "a close match" that the game induces? For me, it waters down the game. Victories don't feel rewarding because I know that 50% of my effort was spent combating the game system and not the enemy team's players. "Close matches" don't feel like player skill is deciding victories; rather, the system's aid for losing teams feels like a huge factor.
Quite a few Riot dev posts...! And a patch preview dedicated to this thread? lawl!
Here's one:
I've had 3 games that last less than 10 minutes. If you start to loose after a 400 point lead think about the enemy team comp and how much better they become with items. If theyre still the same level of bad/good clearly youre doing it wrong.
Hmm, I only knew that the losing team had a lower timer on respawn after death :o
But I think thats kinda the purpose of dom, to be making a come back, unlike SR where once you're fed and doing good, its kinda GG. So it all depends on the team comp in that "late" game of how usefull the increased income and lower respawn time will be.
some times you just need to sit back and defend your 3 points. going out for 4 points could end in you losing your lead
It's more like the winning team getting overconfident, continuing to push hard into the enemy's close base points and getting killed for no reason.
This literally happens all the time. Inexperienced players in their thirst for kills with dive in hard at the enemy's safest points, when they seem to not realize that the enemy must come to them in order to win.
I recently had a game where we had an early lead and then slowly over the match we just started losing it, and we were 50 points to losing. That's when it occurred to a couple of us that they had steered us into a ninja capping game, that they were simply better at. We finally got our 3 points back and made sure that everyone knew in chat that we had to defend only. They're team that was Superior at ninja capping just didn't have the meat to push us off our points and we won the game. But it was only that realization, and subsequent decision that enabled us to come back, from their come back.
You have to understand why you had the lead in the beginning, why you are losing it now, and what to do to get it back. In a game where farming and level advantages haven't nearly the impact, team comp, and strategy is brought into even sharper focus.
The thing I find interesting about Summoner's Rift is that there's a large diaspora between skilled players and mediocre to bad players. You can clearly see the skill difference between two opposing teams. When you're winning, you know you're winning because you're simply outplaying the enemy team. Player skill is a huge factor in winning.
Dominion has this "Big Brother" syndrome. When a team is losing, the big brother system lends you a hand and says "It's okay that you suck, I'll help you win!". The system aids the losing team by modifying the game mechanics to support them. This results in an artificially-made "close match"...not due to player skill, but simply due to the system's aid for losing teams.
When a losing team on Summoner's Rift turns the game around and wins, it's because the players on the losing team did something awesome that turned everything around. There's that epic turn-around moment. Most importantly, it's a result of player actions. Not the system. Dominion lacks that epic feeling of player skill turning the tides of a match. It's more of a passive, artificial, babysitting nudge from the game system.
The extreme amount of intervention from the game system just bothers me.
That's part of the reason why Dominion is so exciting. The fact that a comeback is possible at any time with the right play if your team comp isn't bad, and you're never really at a point like what commonly happens in Summoner's Rift where one team is so far ahead that it's virtually impossible for the losing team to come back.
It makes Dominion much more fun to watch for those unfamiliar with the game, and honestly, a lot more fun to watch in general. There's absolutely nothing exciting about laning for the casual observer.

This week sees EA Sports and Activision go head-to-head with the release of FIFA Soccer 11 and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock. Although not as revolutionary as last year's game, FIFA Soccer 11 still manages to bring its share of additions to the table. The main change has been in the AI department, but as always, animations have been refined. For the first time you'll also be able to play as the goalkeeper for more than just short bursts. FIFA Soccer 11 will hit the field around Australia on Thursday.
Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock sees Activision also trying to pump new blood into an old franchise, with the inclusion of a fully fledged story mode. Narrated by KISS guitarist Gene Simmons, the story follows your band as it attempts to liberate the god of rock from a prison. Of course, all of the familiar elements that the series is known for returns, and the disc boasts a tracklist of 93 songs. On the hardware side of things, the guitar now features an interchangeable body, while the rest of the instruments remain the same. Keep an eye out for Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock when it takes to the stage this Wednesday.

The current rating for this switch says 4A in the description, but 3A on the switch itself. Not a big deal because I won't even get close to that, but watch out!

Swarm Retrieval
alamobeemanFebruary 19, 2007
I think it was this forum I as reading last week and saw talk of Lemongrass oil and Lemon Pledge. Yesterday I had a group swarm out to a small tree only about 20-30 feet from the hive. I grabbed an old box with used frames and gave it a shot of pledge on the bottom board and set it under the tree. Then I bent the tree over (I said it was small) and weighted it near the hive opening, about 2 hours later the tree was empty and the box full.
Many thanks for all the help you'll give a newbee!

What Should I Do About the Letter?
The short answer is: nothing. You can probably ignore this letter and any other letters that they send to you even though each letter will typically become more and more threatening. Ignore their threats, they rarely, if ever sue people based off of shoplifting charges. They want you to send them the money because you are scared. If you send them the money or you make some type of agreement with them you're stuck. The agreement would probably be enforceable as a contract and even if you could hire an attorney to try and get you out of it, it would be expensive. Make sure that the demand letter is only that - a demand letter. If it makes threats of a possible lawsuit, it is only a demand letter. If it includes language stating that you have been sued and that you have a deadline to respond to the suit, then it may be a filed lawsuit. If it is a filed lawsuit, it will include the information about the specific court that the lawsuit is filed in.
Why Do They Send The Letters?
They are playing a numbers game. They send out these letters on every reported case of shoplifting because letters are cheap. They are hoping that some of the people that receive these letters will get scared enough that they will just send in the money. If even a small percentage of people respond and pay, then they will make money.
What If They Take Me To Court?
If they file suit, it will be under the Texas Theft Liability Act (the text of which can be found below). They can try and recover actual damages, costs and attorneys' fees. Damages are the loss that they actually suffer. The value of the property is one of the damages (if it was actually lost). The employee who was involved was already working, so there are no damages in the form of that employee's wages. The costs are the costs associated with the lawsuit - typically the cost of filing the suit and serving the defendant with notice of the suit. Service is the way that a defendant is given notice of the lawsuit. It will include a statement saying that you have been sued, a deadline to respond to the allegation in court, and the location of the specific court in which the lawsuit has been filed. It is unlikely that they will ever go through the trouble and expense of filing the lawsuit. Some of the firms that send out these demand letters aren't even licensed in Texas.
What About Their Attorneys' Fees?
These letters almost always include attorneys' fees in the demand. While they can recover attorneys' fees if they file suit and win (which is highly unlikely), you are not required to pay them just because they ask.
Is The Civil Demand The Same As Restitution?
No - Restitution is different from a civil demand. Typically, if someone is convicted of theft, the judgment includes restitution for the victim for the value of the property that the victim lost. If the property was recovered inside the store, there will usually not be any restitution to be paid. If the property was not recovered inside the store, then the value of the stolen property is repaid back. The civil demand is more than just the value of the lost property. It can include the actual amount of damages (the value of the property plus any additional loss caused to the victim because of the lost property), $1,000 from the perpetrator (or $5,000 from the parents of the perpetrator), court costs, and attorneys' fees.
If I Pay, Will The Criminal Case Go Away?
No. Even if you send the entire amount that they are demanding and they send you some kind of release claims, it makes no difference to the criminal case. The criminal case is brought by the state and only the state can dismiss it. The prosecutor is actually more likely to pursue the criminal case if you have paid the victim money because they can use that as evidence that you actually committed the crime.
What Should I Do?
Because there will almost always be a criminal case associated with the civil demand, talk to a criminal defense attorney about it. Bring in the letter and ask questions. Go over all the specifics in your case. The above is only a general discussion of the problem. There may be facts in your case that make this guide not apply to you.

A brilliant doctor with a bedside manner so good its a wonder how other doctors get by. He helped me loose 70lbs. I am off of insulin and 3/4 of my other meds. I couldn't have done it without his compassion and kindness.
Posted on March 1, 2015
After years of battling obesity, I started in the the Petteruti Center weight loss program. He is a caring doctor with an individual plan that works for your body, mind and general lifestyle. I lost 85 lbs and have kept it off for two years. I have never been happier. Dr. Petteruti is on the leading edge of weight loss.
Posted on December 1, 2014
Excellent physician. His clinical knowledge far supersedes anyone I have ever seen before, and then he also has a way of incorporating this into every aspect of your care. He is kind, thoughtful, and non-judgmental and you feel as though you can tell him anything, which I find to be such an asset to a primary care physician.

Dr. Petteruti, Shannon and all of the staff have changed my life. I am the healthiest I have ever been and I owe it all the wonderful medical team at Petteruti Center for Life Extension. Anyone who wants to lose weight, get healthy and add years to their life should contact the office and make an appointment.
Posted on July 8, 2014
I've struggled with my weight since I was 16. I have gained and lost over 100 lbs twice in my life but keeping it off has always been the challenge. Last fall I tipped the scales at 334 pounds. Frustrated, I tried the gym route but had slow to almost no results. I saw an old friend in December and he recommended Dr. Petteruti. I called and made the appointment, I had given up hope until then. After my initial visit and blood work, Dr. Petteruti called me at home to alert me of my dangerously high blood sugar. He was very calming, told me not to worry, what to do, and that we'd solve it together. I actually felt relieved- I had some sort of answer. Since then I have shed a Back Street Boy but I still have work to do. I found out everything that I thought I knew about diet and exercise was wrong. All the cardio in the world wasn't going to fix my carb intake. I had to stop worrying about fat and start worrying about the glycemic index. Weight training has given me strength and definition that I've never had. Dr. Petteruti prescribed medication when I needed it but often recommended healthy supplements instead. Shannon, my Weight Loss Counselor, counseled me and made sure I had a plan of attack for both my eating and work outs. Thanks to Dr. Petteruti and The Petteruti Center I feel like this time I know what to do to keep the weight off. - A. L.

I saw Dr. Petteruti about 13 years ago when I lived in RI. I've always said that he was one of the best doctors I've even seen. He seemed to genuinely care about his patients and he LISTENED. He didn't just toss a script at you and move on. He sat down and he listened. Unfortunately, I lost my job andhad to move to find work and had to find a new GP. It appears he is continuing to do great things. Too bad there isn't a doctor around here that has had this kind of success with weight loss. Keep up the good work doc!
Posted on April 9, 2014
I came to see Dr. Petteruti after seeing my friend make a 180 with his health. He was a bit over-weight, tired often and lacking the will to do a whole lot except work. He is now 20 pounds leaner feeling like he's 25 again. We are back to mountain biking, lifting and social outings. His wife has mentioned on several occasions that this saved their marriage. After 6 months with Dr. Petteruti, I'm off all my medications, my weight is coming down and I feel terrific! I joke with my friend that I feel 24 and he's still older than me, even though we're only in our early 50's. I'm so grateful Dr. Petteruti is the kind of person that will sit with you and listen to what you are really saying. He doesn't sugar coat anything, but is always kind. Here's to living another 50 years!

Its an amazing program and unlike other programs that I have tried. I am losing lots of weight, I have gone from thankgivng..3 christsmas parties...christmas and new years and still have lost a consistent 2-3 lbs a week. This is when I realized the way I look at food and how I make my choices are changing and its starting to become very natural. This has also been the most affordable, I highly recomend this program. Thank you Dr. Petturutti and Shannon for helping to make 2014 a much healthier year for me!

I lost 85 lbs and have kept it off for two years. I have never been happier. Dr. Petteruti is on the leading edge of weight loss. He is attentive to detail and spends the time talking with you. He takes a whole body approach to figure out the underlying causes of an illness, he doesn't just fix the here and now. I am thankful I was referred to him.

Dr. Petteruti is a wonderful doctor. He is supportive, respectful and has the most wonderful bedside manners. He listens to his patients in a non-judgmental way. I am so thankful he was on my journey with me for my weight loss.

The Petteruti Center has helped me achieve my goals. It was difficult finding a doctor near my home in Warwick Rhode Island. If you're looking for a bariatric doctor in Warwick RI, I would highly recommend Dr. Petteruti and his team!
Getting to know Dr. Petteruti...
A second-generation family doctor, Dr. Petteruti started off pursuing his goal of being a holistic provider of medicine, starting his medical training in Osteopathic Medicine. After graduating with honors, he became attracted to weight loss medicine, which began a career-long interest in areas not commonly pursued by most doctors.Read More >

It includes all of the above! The egg noodles are really thin, i think i saw these packaged at the store. the kreplach and matzo balls are beyond me.
You need to have a basic chicken stock base and then throw everytttthing in there: noodles, kreplach, matzo balls, carrots, pieces of chicken. Nothing is too much!

9.5 mill for this in North Carolina on a lake? What a joke. I could find you 3, three million dollar houses on the coast and each one would be better than this. I could find a couple of magnificent mountain estates for a fourth this price and I could find you some massive plantations in South Carolina with hundreds of acres including waterfront and hunting for less than this. Maybe they meant 950,000 and this is just a misprint.
The porthole dormer is annoying. Interior has some neat bits. Photographer needs to stop looking to Instagram for inspiration.
How does a house have between 11,300 and 13,300 square feet? Is it expandable?
The front is a confused mess, and the garage door (which could have easily been relocated) doesn't help. The location looks nice. There are some nice moments in the interior, but it doesn't excite me. The square light fixture seen through the circular stair opening is jarring, and I can only imagine what someone was thinking when they hung those bathroom curtains.
This house was designed by some big name architect. I don't remember who, but I remember seeing this house on the market a while back and then also seeing it on the architect ( who was like an LA and NY big wig- website and being a lil surprised this random NC house was his. I have a feeling someone involved with NASCAR owns it.

This, for the most part, doesn't impress me. The placement of the garage doors (and the weird dormer above the entryway) ruins the facade. Most of the interior is pretty middle of road…pleasant in a vague way. I do really like the 5-car garage, though…brick flooring and pressed tin ceiling look fabulous. I also like the connection to the home via double glass doors w/ sidelights and outdoor-style lighting elements…looks neat. The car collection definitely raised my eyebrows…a Ferrari 250, a modern BMW Z8 and an old Cobra? Very nice. Wish I could tell what the black one in back was…
Mercedes Benz SL.
The Blue Door Inn? It sounds like a brothel in Rio.
The architecture is unambiguously ugly, with that ridiculous dormer like a crowning middle finger.
I am sure in person it looks better but I do not like at all.

The GM's Office: Washington Nationals
Cardinals, Nationals prove to be NL's best
Updated landing spots for Max Scherzer
I found mostly denials of involvement from teams we believe to be in the Scherzer sweepstakes, and then it dawned on me: Most of my sources are MLB team presidents, general managers, assistant general managers, managers, players and agents. Under Scott Boras, Scherzer's agent, modus operandi for players of this stature (in the $140 million to $200 million range) is to go directly to the owners. He knows that every GM would love to have Scherzer in their rotation; it just comes down to money, years and risk. It's really an owner decision, not one made by the executives under them.
For most clubs, the GMs are in the loop at all times, but that's not always the case. Boras has always had carte blanche, access to meet with most owners directly in person or on the phone. Owners also know that GMs might recommend not signing Scherzer for economic reasons because of dollars or contract length, but owners want to win at the end of the day, too. They also know that Scherzer could be the difference in reaching the postseason. Therefore, as I went digging, although I couldn't find a raging fire, I did find smoke, some smoldering and an occasional small fire.
To continue reading this article you must be an Insider
Players who benefit from 'non-moves'
However, some GMs simply haven't been able to improve certain positions because they didn't match up well with trade partners, they lacked the financial resources in their budget to persuade free agents to sign with them or they just weren't willing to pay the price, in terms of player talent or dollars, to get the deals done.
When this happens, players get opportunities to win a job in spring training that we otherwise didn't think they'd have a shot for. Or in some cases, players simply get a second chance to prove they belong. Unfortunately, it might their last or only chance.
Here are several pairs of players who, at the moment, look like they will get an opportunity to compete for an everyday job because their teams weren't able to address that position this offseason:
1. Wilmer Flores and Ruben Tejada, SS, New York Mets
The Mets were very thorough this offseason, checking in on practically every available and unavailable shortstop in baseball.

Most likely landing spots for Max Scherzer
The 30-year-old Scherzer is 91-50 in his career with a 3.58 ERA and 1.22 WHIP. However, it's his performance over the past three years that has separated him from his colleagues. He has become a true ace, with an average wins above replacement of 5.6, which essentially means he alone turns an 88-win team into a 94-win team and a 94-win team into a true championship contender. Scherzer has won 39 games over the past two years, the most of any American League pitcher, with a 3.02 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 10.2 K's per nine innings.
His fastball remains in the 92-95 mph range, and he has a hard, nasty slider, a deceptive changeup and an impressive curveball. He can throw all of his pitches in any count for strikes and has learned how to keep hitters off-balance, with the ability to punch them out with any pitch in his repertoire. He has struck out a staggering 723 hitters over the past three seasons.
Still not impressed? Maybe you need to hear the spiel being laid out by his agent, Scott Boras, who compares him to Peyton Manning. While that's an absurd comparison, Boras certainly makes a strong case as to why the two compare favorably. The bottom line is that Scherzer is an ace and a difference-maker for any team that signs him.
Teams should be lined up for his services. But they're not. One prominent GM told me this week it's due to his asking price and contract length.
"He's looking for too many years and too much money for the injury risk of any pitcher," said the GM, "let alone a right-hander with a power arm and that type of delivery."
Only a few teams can afford him, but many of them are passing either because of price, risk or budget constraints.

What's next for the Washington Nationals?
The Nats have decisions to make on three significant free agents: first baseman Adam LaRoche, second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera and reliever Rafael Soriano. They also must address their next free-agent class (following the 2015 season), which includes Jordan Zimmermann, Ian Desmond, Tyler Clippard, Doug Fister, Denard Span and Matt Thornton. Do they extend them? Do they trade them now while they have strong value? Or do they just prepare to let them depart via free agency next offseason, in which they may or may not get draft pick compensation for them?
Other areas the Nats will need to tend to include what to do with Ryan Zimmerman and how to improve the team's bench and bullpen depth.
Here is a look at each area heading into the offseason:

Playoff starting pitcher, rotation rankings
Evaluating starting rotations for the postseason is much different than doing so for the regular season. During the regular season, you concentrate on the team's depth, even the Nos. 6 and 7 spots on the depth chart. In the postseason, you emphasize the top three starters on each team, with little weight given to the fourth starter and no weight to the fifth starter, who's normally in the bullpen. You especially focus on the team's No. 1 starter, who often pitches twice in a five-game series and as many as three times in a seven-game series. You also must factor in how much workload a pitcher has had in the regular season, how they've pitched at the end of the season and any signs of fatigue, something that's not controllable outside of a cortisone shot to lessen the inflammation in a shoulder or elbow.
History shows that pitchers who can miss bats and post higher strikeout rates often perform better in the postseason than contact pitchers. Why is this? Well, these hurlers are facing the game's best lineups, and they need to have the stuff and command to win those battles. Having impeccable command of all pitches in and out of the strike zone is a necessity, because many hitters on playoff teams don't have many weaknesses to exploit.
With that as a preface, here are my rankings of this year's postseason rotations based on scouting, statistical and sabermetric analysis, with specific matchups, workloads, trends and intangibles all factored in:

Trade deadline objectives: NL East teams
The National League East has become a two-team race between the Washington Nationals and Atlanta Braves, with the second-place team still having a good chance to reel in one of the two wild-card berths. Neither team is expected to make a blockbuster deal by the trade deadline, but both are looking for the same thing: left-handed relief help and bench upgrades. Sometimes improving a team by inches rather than feet or yards can be the difference between making the postseason or going home.
The rest of the division should be sellers. The Marlins are hoping for enough wins between now and the deadline to become buyers, but realistically, they should be in sell mode. The Mets have Bartolo Colon and Daniel Murphy to offer in deals, while the Phillies should be open to trading every veteran on their roster.
In fact, the Phillies should be the center of attention between now and July 31 because there is not a "seller" in baseball with more talented difference-makers to trade. The difficult part for teams getting deals done with them will be dealing with all of the bad contracts, no-trade provisions and high return the Phillies are asking for in return.
With that in mind, let's take a look at where each team stands and who they should be looking to either acquire or trade away:
Needs: Left-handed reliever and a bat off the bench.
Lefty reliever targets: Antonio Bastardo, Phillies; Neal Cotts, Rangers; Andrew Miller, Red Sox; James Russell, Cubs; Oliver Perez, Diamondbacks; Tony Sipp, Astros; Mike Dunn, Marlins.
Bench targets: Chris Carter, Astros; Chris Denorfia, Padres; Alejandro De Aza, White Sox; Jonny Gomes, Red Sox; Dayan Viciedo, White Sox; Jake Smolinski, Rangers; Mike Olt, Cubs; Drew Stubbs, Rockies.
What to expect: The Nationals don't need to make a move; they are the team to beat in the NL East and should be considered a legitimate World Series contender. They could stand to improve the two areas above, and I expect GM Mike Rizzo to upgrade one or the other by the trade deadline.
Trade I'd like to see happen: Right-handed pitching prospect Austin Voth to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for lefty reliever James Russell.

Three heated draft debates
The disagreements in the rooms from scouts, national crosscheckers and front office executives can get heated because one wrong placement of a player on the list can change the future of the franchise. And this year's draft offers as much debate as there has been in years.
Let's look at three of the most debated topics teams are dealing with right now.
Debate 1: Who's the best position player on the board?
A majority of teams have two high school players –-- catcher/outfielder Alex Jackson from Rancho Bernardo HS (San Diego), and shortstop Nick Gordon from Olympia HS (Orlando, Fla.) -- as the top position players in this year's draft.
Clubs normally don't draft for positional need, especially with high school players because they change so much over the three to five years it takes to reach the major leagues. So they take the best player on the board.

Young stars I'd lock up long term now
Indeed, we've recently seen a flurry of six-year contract extensions by clubs for non-arbitration-eligible players in the past few months, including:
• Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels, $144.5 million
• Yan Gomes, Cleveland Indians, $23 million
• Julio Teheran, Atlanta Braves, $32.4 million
• Chris Archer, Tampa Bay Rays, $25.5 million
• Jason Kipnis, Cleveland Indians, $52.5 million
In addition to those six-year deals, there was also Freddie Freeman's eight-year, $135 million extension, which is the longest contract in Braves history.
This proactive method benefits the team and the player. For the teams, they get to pre-emptively buy out some of the player's free-agent years, which should save them millions of dollars considering the ridiculous pace at which free-agent salaries are escalating. In exchange, the players receive lifetime security yet are still able to test the free-agent market again at a reasonably young age.
The Trout deal broke records at almost every aspect, and the Teheran and Archer deals were riskier because of pitchers' greater chance of landing on the disabled list at some point in their six-year contract.
Gomes was the biggest gamble because he hasn't established the track record the others did to justify committing those types of dollars. Regardless of the risk, clubs cannot ignore the opportunity to save so much money, making contracts such as these no-brainers.
When I look around the league, I see a number of other candidates for these kind of long-term deals. Here are nine pre-arbitration players I think teams would have a chance to lock up, plus four Boras Corp. clients who probably have very little chance to sign now -- Scott Boras almost always recommends his players hold out for free agency ASAP -- but should try anyway.
As always, agents will use recent deals as a framework when negotiating, and I've noted some recent deals that would provide a guideline for each player in question.
Non-arbitration-eligible players clubs should extend now
1. Manny Machado | 3B | Service time: 1+056 | Agent: MVP Sports
Note: Service time is as of Opening Day, and "1+056" means one year, 56 days.
Machado had offseason knee surgery and started the year on the disabled list, so of course the Orioles will need to make sure he is 100 percent upon his return before doing a deal. However, once he is back to full strength, they should be aggressive in getting him locked up. The time will never be better, the price and value never lower.

Five takeaways from Opening Day
There's still a long way to go for any of my bold predictions to play out, but here are my five best takeaways from Opening Day 2014.
1. So far, so good for Sizemore and Sox
Grady Sizemore was the best and biggest story of spring training, and he kept it going Opening Day with a single in his first at-bat and a long home run in his second.

When will Trout's reign end?
The rest of the top five will turn over, as there are a number of players who will move in and out over the next half-decade. Let's have some fun and take a look at the guys who I think will populate the list of top-five players each year through the 2019 season.
Understand these lists are purely what I think could happen, and I'm assuming some amount of good health and luck during these five years, while hypothesizing some outcomes based on current performance and trajectory. I added some statistical projections courtesy of Dan Szymborski's ZiPS projections system, just to give you a sense of what the stats say about these guys. In some case, I'm a bit more optimistic than the computer models.
Top 5 players in 2015 (projected via ZiPS)
1. Mike Trout, CF, Los Angeles Angels (.289/.384/.505, 42 SB, 8.9 WAR)

10 guys scouts are raving about
While you never like to put too much stock in spring training performance, there is no question that scouts, coaches and execs take notice when a player looks particularly good during camp. I'm not talking about the stat sheet, but rather their actions on the field, which could be anything from their swing, to their fastball, to the way they move.
Here are 10 players who have evaluators excited this year.
1. Ryan Zimmerman, 3B, Washington Nationals
Zimmerman is taking some grounders at first base this spring, but that is only to give the Nationals more lineup flexibility when a left-hander is on the mound. He looks great at third this spring and his arm strength has returned. This will allow him to once again play a deeper third base and restore his inclusion within any Gold Glove conversation. More important for fantasy players, with a healthy right shoulder for the first time in years, they should anticipate a return to his 2009 numbers.
2. Brandon Belt, 1B, San Francisco Giants
Around the trade deadline last July, Belt made some significant changes at the plate.

GM awards for best trades, signings
BEST OFFSEASON -- BIG-MARKET GM: Brian Cashman | New York Yankees
It was the most expensive free-agent spending spree in baseball history when the Yankees committed a combined $438 million for 22 years of contracts to Masahiro Tanaka, Jacoby Ellsbury, Brian McCann and Carlos Beltran. The Yankees quickly rebuilt their outfield, catching and starting pitching with All-Star caliber players and imported the best overall talent of any team in baseball this offseason. They also get credit for walking away from Robinson Cano by refusing to acquiesce to 10 years and approximately $240 million for a player in his 30s.
