IMF Executive Board Concludes 2011 Article IV Consultation with MontenegroPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 11/51
May 6, 2011
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case. The staff report (use the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view this pdf file) for the 2011 Article IV Consultation with Montenegro is also available.
On April 29, 2011, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with Montenegro.1
A tentative recovery is taking hold, following the global crisis that exerted heavy blows upon the economy. In 2010, a good tourism season was followed by resumed metal production, while heavy rains in the region boosted electricity production and exports. After contracting for almost two years, industry began to grow again in the second half of 2010. Nevertheless, industrial production at end-2010 was still considerably below its pre-crisis peak. Expected large-scale infrastructure foreign direct investment has so far not materialized and construction activity remains depressed. Overall 2010 GDP growth is estimated at 1.1 percent, keeping output below its 2008 level.
The needed rebalancing of the economy has begun. Inflation and wage growth decelerated sharply and the current account deficit halved to around 26 percent of GDP in 2010. While most of the improvement was due to a weather related boost in electricity exports and rebounding metals production, the nascent adjustment in costs has also improved competitiveness. The improved fundamentals have also contributed to the September 2010 debut Eurobond issuance of €200 million, subsequent spread tightening, and a further €180 million issuance in April 2011.
Fiscal consolidation has commenced. Reflecting mainly significant capital expenditure cuts, the 2010 fiscal deficit is estimated to have declined by 1½ percent of GDP to 3.9 percent, though, loan guarantees of 3.6 percent were extended to industrial companies. Going forward, the authorities aim at balancing the budget in 2012 and achieving a sizeable surplus thereafter in order to bolster sustainability, lower financing risk, and boost the economy's resilience to shocks.
In the banking sector, confidence has begun to return, as evidenced by increasing deposits, though they are still below their levels in the third quarter of 2007. However, non-performing loans have not yet leveled off and Financial Soundness Indicators have continued to deteriorate. Stagnant lending at the current juncture primarily reflects the dearth of creditworthy projects.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors noted that, although the recovery is gaining momentum, limited policy space and incomplete reforms pose risks to the outlook. Accordingly, Directors encouraged the authorities to step up efforts to reconstitute fiscal, external, and financial buffers and to address rigidities in product and labor markets.
Directors welcomed the start of fiscal consolidation and supported the authorities' plan to balance the central government budget by 2012, and run surpluses thereafter. They considered that a durable fiscal adjustment should encompass both revenue and expenditure measures, including steps to increase the yield from property taxes and curb the public sector wage bill. An early implementation of pension reform would also strengthen the public finances, as would further efforts to avoid expenditure arrears and direct budget support to private companies.
Directors stressed the importance of restoring the soundness of the banking system to bolster the resilience of the economy and promote private sector-led growth. They welcomed recent steps to reinforce the legal and prudential frameworks and encouraged stronger supervisory practices. In particular, noting that full euroization limits the ability of the central bank to provide liquidity support to banks, Directors called for conservative capital and liquidity requirements and an early unwinding of regulatory forbearance.
Noting the importance of strengthened competitiveness for securing external stability, Directors agreed that structural reforms should remain a top policy priority. Greater flexibility in wage setting and employment protection would support job creation in the private sector, while addressing unemployment and poverty traps would boost labor participation and market attachment. Improvements in the business environment and investment climate are also part of the unfinished agenda.
Directors cautioned that long-standing weaknesses in economic statistics hamper policy design and evaluation. They encouraged the authorities to make further progress in addressing them.

Return Movie Reviews
User reviews on Return
This film was a bit too quiet and slow for my taste but it did have some great moments and I think it is worth seeing but not in the theaters. The film is very naturalistic and I think it was a bit too real for my taste. The film was very sincere and I admire that but I will be honest, it almost put me to sleep and maybe i should be ashamed of that but it's true and I think a lot of people will feel the same. I do think that he film addresses very important issues and it paints a very good picture of what it is like to come back to a world you no longer feel part of. The lead actress Linda Cardellini did an amazing job with her role and it was a real pleasure to watch her.
This is a drama about a soldier who comes back from duty and struggles to adapt, the film is directed by Liza Johnson and stars Linda Cardellini, Michael Shannon and John Slattery. I thought the film was mediocre and I do not think it is worth seeing in the theaters. I was kind of bored during this film and found it way too slow. I am not a big fan of indie films and if you do then you might love this film I do have to say that the acting was really good and the story is pretty powerful as well, I just did not like the way the story was told and that is just because I do not enjoy indie films. I could tell that he film was low budget but i guess the director made the best of it and it looked alright. Overall, if you like indie films then you will probably like this one but if you are not a fan then avoid it.

For years the Republican Party has supported increased levels of immigration in order to suck up to their corporate paramours who continually whine about "labor shortages"; now the chickens have come home to roost.
The Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) reports that the GOP's decline will only be hastened by continued high levels of immigration:
WASHINGTON, DC (April 15, 2014) — The nation's prolonged flow of legal immigration has changed – and continues to change – the political landscape. A new Center for Immigration Studies report, "Immigration's Impact on Republican Political Prospects, 1980 to 2012", finds that each one percentage-point increase in the immigrant share of a large county's population reduces the Republican share of the two-party presidential vote by an average of nearly 0.6 percentage points.
This shift is relatively uniform throughout the country, from California to Texas to Florida, regardless of the local party's stance on immigration. It is due to immigrant communities' lopsided support for big-government policies, which are more closely aligned with progressives than with conservatives. As a result, survey data show a two-to-one party identification with Democrats over Republicans. Increased immigration also significantly expands the low-income population, making voters overall more supportive of redistributive policies championed by Democrats to support disadvantaged populations.
"As the immigrant population has grown, Republican electoral prospects have dimmed, even after controlling for alternative explanations of GOP performance," wrote James Gimpel, author of the report and a professor of government at the University of Maryland at College Park. "Republicans are right to want to attract Latino voters," he continued. "But expanding the flow of low-skilled immigrants into an economy ill-suited to promote their upward mobility will be counterproductive."
Over one million legal immigrants enter the United States each year. If this number were drastically increased, as called for by the Gang of Eight bill (S.744), the decline of the Republican Party would be accelerated. "The impact of immigration is easily sufficient, by itself, to decide upcoming presidential elections," Gimpel wrote.
You can read the full report here.
The Republican Party is a dinosaur, but not for the reasons the illegal alien-friendly media offer up nearly every day. The party's laughable leadership has only to heed Sen. Jeff Sessions' (R-Ala.) advice to cut its ties to Wall Street and begin promoting itself as the "party of work." If it doesn't, then rest assured that it will take far less than a huge asteroid to make it extinct.
Another interesting item from CIS: Many members of Congress don't know how many legal immigrants enter this country every year.
Yet many of these same "law makers" have signed on to an amnesty bill that also doubles that number.
As "Laugh In's" Artie Johnson used to say, "Verrrrrry interesting, but stupid."

Loving the body that we have been given can be a challenge, especially when all around us are images of Jennifer Lopez's bodacious booty. Well no need to feel butt envy because if a tight, toned, tush is your ultimate goal then here is the workout for you. Natalie Jill creator of the Rev-4 10 minute body weight workout DVD designed this routine that will have you loving your fanny in no time.
Stability Ball Hamstring Curls
These address the "butt-thigh" which is that area between your glutes and your hamstrings. Although you can't spot reduce that area, you can work to develop the muscles in your glutes and hamstrings which will help to dramatically change the appearance of this area.
Lie down on your back, and place your legs up on a stability ball. Using your hamstrings, slowly curl your heels back dragging the ball under your butt while lifting up into a bridge. Squeeze your butt muscles as you do this and keep your core and abdominal tight! Roll back and forth twenty times.
Donkey Kicks
This really hits your glute and hamstring so stretch well upon completion.
Get on your forearms and knees; kick active leg up with your foot flat as if you are lifting up the ceiling. Create resistance by focusing on the muscles being worked. Do 20 reps per side.
Squat to Side Kick:
Yes this can give you that sexy indentation on the side of your but plus your outer thigh will thank you.
Starting in a slight squatted position, go as low as is comfortable and then stand up lifting one leg out to the side. Complete 15 reps per leg.
Wall Sits
Wouldn't want to have a firm derriere without nice thighs, would you? No worries you won't. This move makes your quad seem almost Spartan.
With your back firmly against the wall, your abs and core tight, squat down and hold for a count of 30 seconds. Return to starting position and repeat 5 times.

A Sneak Peek at Cisco's Announcement
The rumor mill has been swirling for months now that Cisco Systems, the giant maker of networking hardware, is going to start selling computers, too. The big reveal is almost here: Cisco on Monday plans to tell the world what it has been working on in secret for the last two years.
Though the company is still holding back details, it has not disputed speculation that points to a kind of "blade" server, the compact back-office machines that power corporate data centers. The blade design uses hardware modules that are arranged vertically–like books on a shelf–and plug into a chassis. People who have seen the hardware describe a refrigerator-sized chassis that can accommodate computing blades–powered by x86 microprocessor chips from Intel–as well as networking blades.
Cisco Chief Technology Officer Padmasree Warrior in a recent interview said its forthcoming product is not a "me-too" server. Expect Cisco on Monday to stress that point–that it is not just competing with existing blade servers from H-P, IBM and Dell, but offering an entirely new kind of system.
Cisco prides itself on its ability to recognize and react to industry disruptions brought about by technology. In this case, what's changed is the advent of "virtualization," a way of making one server act like many.
Virtualization means that companies can buy fewer servers to run the same number of programs. But as Cisco tells it, the technology also makes managing a data center more challenging, saving on capital expenses while ratcheting up operational expenses.
Cisco is expected to bill its server system as a tool to reduce the complexity of operating a "virtualized" data center. It will come with virtualization software from VMware and management software from BMC already installed. Bob Beauchamp, BMC's CEO, says Cisco's system will do for the data center what Apple's iPod and iTunes did for music—it's a pre-integrated system that makes everything incredibly easy.
Cisco has been reaching out to companies trying to make as big a splash as possible with its announcement. Executives from BMC, VMware, EMC, Microsoft, Intel, and other tech companies will all appear via TelePresence, Cisco's video conferencing system. (Why waste a marketing opportunity?) And other companies—with varying degrees of insight into the project—will probably contribute quotes for the press release.
The announcement could be a big deal for the industry, if the number of companies willing to share their opinion on the matter is any guide. Several competitors take issue with Cisco's suggestion that the new product something other than a server. Others question Cisco's ability to sell the thing, since the company doesn't have a large consulting organization like H-P or IBM. The latter argument is summed up by John Fowler, an executive vice president at Sun Microsystems, which makes its own blade servers. "You can't show up in the morning and be expert," he says.
(More on Cisco's effort and its importance to the tech industry can be found in this story).
While some longtime Cisco allies suddenly look like competitors, others have an important new customer. That includes Intel, which is likely to applaud the announcement while being a bit shy about discussing details; one person familiar with the situation says that's because Cisco will use a hotly awaited server version of a chip technology, code-named Nehalem, that Intel won't formally announce until later this month.

• In recognition of Mental Health Awareness Month, Dr. Jon Brett, a clinical psychologist with Newport Hospital's Adult Partial Hospitalization Program, answers common questions about mental health.
What are the most common mental health issues that you see in your practice?
Since I work in both inpatient and outpatient services at Newport Hospital, including the Partial Hospitalization Program, I see a large variety of mental health issues at all levels of acuity. Depressive disorders are the most commonly seen, but many patients also experience other disorders such as anxiety, psychotic, and co-occurring disorders. An example of a co-occurring issue would be someone dealing with both a mental health and substance abuse issue. The level of struggle, or acuity, would define where along the continuum of services that an individual would need to be placed and treated.
How many people are affected by this issue/disorder?
Mental illness is an extremely significant problem in our culture. One in four adults, around 61.5 million Americans, will experience mental illness in a given year. Approximately 14.8 million people struggle with major depressive disorders, and serious mental illness costs the U.S. almost $200 billion per year in lost earnings. Depression is the third most common cause of hospitalization in the U.S. among adults. It is for this reason that those of us who work in this field are constantly amazed that these disorders, being so rampant and common in our culture, still often present with such stigma and shame.
What are the best forms of treatment?
The best way to treat depression is often the best way to treat many mental health issues and illnesses. Often, care has to be individualized and tailored to the person's particular needs. However, in nearly every situation, treatment will be based on biological and medication needs, psychotherapeutic interventions and good support. For instance, depression is often treated with antidepressant SSRI medication, cognitive-behavioral or other appropriate psychotherapy, and adequate community and family support.
Is hospitalization sometimes required?
Occasionally, there is a need for hospitalization. This usually occurs when the individual's emotional state or mental illness is at a more acute level, and there is a need for an environment guaranteeing the structure and safety required to help stabilize and more comprehensively provide treatment. Typically, stays are short and the individual is able to step down to an outpatient level of care fairly quickly and then continue treatment and build a healthy recovery.
What are the warning signs?
Warning signs tend to vary from person to person, but we do recommend that each individual become familiar with his/her constellation of symptoms that, if unattended to, could lead to a major depressive episode. If someone is mindful early on, when there are changes in appetite or sleep -- too little or too much -- concentration problems, helplessness and hopelessness, lack of motivation and energy, beginning to withdraw or isolate or avoid others, or persistent sadness, then attention should be given. We call these 'early warning' signs, and dealing with them through various coping strategies, medication assessments and review, and talking with trusted others and mental health professionals can turn the tide. We strongly encourage individuals to speak up and seek help when they begin to notice their early warning signs. Sometimes there is a tendency to minimize, ignore or "stuff" concerns and feelings as the depressive tendency to isolate and withdraw increases. Our goal is early intervention to avoid a major problem.

City of Revere v. Mass. Gen. Hosp.
Annotate this Case
- Syllabus
- Case
U.S. Supreme Court
City of Revere v. Mass. Gen. Hosp., 463 U.S. 239 (1983)
City of Revere v. Massachusetts General Hospital
No. 82-63
Argued February 28, 1983
Decided June 27, 1983
A police officer of petitioner city wounded a suspect who was attempting to flee from the scene of a breaking and entering. The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court held that petitioner is liable for the medical services rendered by respondent hospital to the wounded person.
1. This Court does not lack jurisdiction to review the Massachusetts court's opinion on the asserted ground that the decision rested on an adequate and independent state ground. The Massachusetts court's opinion premised petitioner's liability squarely on the Eighth Amendment's prohibition of cruel and unusual punishments. P. 463 U. S. 242.
2. Respondent has standing in the Art. III sense to raise its constitutional claim in this Court. Moreover, invoking prudential limitations on respondent's assertion of the rights of a third party (the wounded person) would serve no functional purpose. Cf. Craig v. Boren, 429 U. S. 190. Pp. 463 U. S. 242-243.
3. The relevant constitutional provision is not the Eighth Amendment but is, instead, the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Although the Eighth Amendment's proscription of cruel and unusual punishments is violated by deliberate indifference to serious medical needs of prisoners, Eighth Amendment scrutiny is appropriate only after the State has secured a formal adjudication of guilt. Ingrahm v. Wright, 430 U. S. 651. Here, there had been no formal adjudication of guilt against the wounded person at the time he required medical care. Pp. 463 U. S. 243-244.
4. The Due Process Clause requires the responsible governmental entity to provide medical care to persons who have been injured while being apprehended by the police. However, as long as the governmental entity ensures that the medical care needed is in fact provided, the Constitution does not dictate how the cost of that care should be allocated as between the entity and the provider of the care. That is a matter of state law. Here, petitioner fulfilled its constitutional obligation by seeing that the wounded person received the needed medical treatment; how petitioner obtained such treatment is not a federal constitutional question. Pp. 463 U. S. 244-246.
385 Mass. 772, 434 N.E.2d 185, reversed.
BLACKMUN, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which BURGER, C.J., and BRENNAN, MARSHALL, POWELL, and O'CONNOR, JJ., joined, and in Parts I, II, III-A, and IV of which WHITE and REHNQUIST, JJ., joined. REHNQUIST, J., filed an opinion concurring in part and concurring in the judgment, in which WHITE, J., joined, post, p. 463 U. S. 246. STEVENS, J., filed an opinion concurring in the judgment, post, p. 463 U. S. 246.

Britney Spears' rep has told People that, despite reports, the singer will not be singing live on the Grammy Awards next month. (Whether or not "won't be singing live" is some sleight-of-flack for "she'll be lipsyncing and/or presenting instead" will, of course, be borne out in the next few weeks.)
Who will be performing at the telecast, according to a loose-lipped choreographer, is Lady Gaga, who's up for six awards including Album of the Year for The Fame Monster. Laurieann Gibson let it slip last night that she was at a meeting last night for a "Grammy performance extraordinaire," and then, well, this happened:
Hope she didn't sign an NDA! Also, I'm going to guess that there won't be a reprise of last year's duet with Elton John.

Information in this article was made available from a guide for parents and dental providers of children with special needs developed by the Oklahoma Dental Foundation in partnership with several funders. The entire guide is available for download at: Oral Health Care For Children With Special Health Care Needs.
The following is an excerpt from page 6 of the guide.
Set a pre-appointment interview.
Providers can send copies of initial visit paperwork to the family member/caregiver to fill out before the first appointment. This will help gather all the needed information, but will also avoid completing this task in the waiting area with an anxious child. Fill out the "Checklist for Going to the Dentist" in this guide. Use this checklist, along with medical history records, to give the dentist the most complete picture of the child's conditions and/or behavioral issues. Be sure and discuss any concerns that you have before the first appointment.

Two enormous points were on the line Thursday night in South Philadelphia. Columbus was looking to open their lead over the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Wild Card to three points with a game in hand while Philadelphia was looking to run down the Rangers in the Metropolitan Division.
If the Flyers really wanted to catch New York for home ice advantage, you would not have known it by the way they came out in the first period. Sloppiness was the theme as the Blue Jackets were whistled for three penalties in the opening frame but the Flyers could only muster two shots on the power plays.
Missed passes, giveaways and poor position plagued the Flyers while the Blue Jackets didn't fare much better as they went to the locker rooms scoreless.
Whatever Craig Berube said to the Flyers during the intermission translated to the ice as the Flyers came out with some jump. They fired 17 shots at Columbus goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky in the second period alone. Unfortunately, the former-Flyers netminder stood tall for the Blue Jackets.
Late in the second period with Columbus on their fourth power play of the game, Mark Lestestu found James Wisniewski who was able to carry the puck to the side of the Flyers net and slide a shot past Steve Mason. Somehow Wisniewski put it inside the far post to give Columbus the lead.
The third period picked up right where the second left off with Columbus buzzing around the Flyers net. Wisniewski got the puck at the point and threw it towards the slot where it hit Brandon Dubinsky's skate and beat Mason to give the Blue Jackets a 2-0 advantage.
It was a sluggish third period for Philadelphia until the 17-minute mark when they began to turn up the pressure. It was not enough as they were unable to solve Bobrovsky who registered his fourth shutout of the season and his first against his former team.
The Flyers look to rebound Saturday against the NHL-leading Boston Bruins at TD Garden in Boston at 1:00 pm. Their magic number to clinch a playoff berth remains at six points.

Customer Reviews
July 2015
The trip was incredible! Regular and wonderful stops along the way with a friendly and knowledgeable guide. A delicious lunch was included and the tour guide/driver helped recommend lovely traditional food.
Sadly the start of the trip was dampened by the poor service from the tour operator. I had been communicating with the head office about the pick up (we were staying outside of the city centre) and none of this had been communicated to the office in Muscat. Consequently we left late because the driver didn't think we were there any more and the office in town though we were staying at the hotel when we were waiting in the lounge. They had asked at the reception, who turned them away because they said we weren't staying there! It would have been much easier if I had booked it there straight through the office.
I would however, highly recommend doing this tour. An amazing way to see Muscat.

If you are happy to spend 6 out of 9 hours in a 4wd mainly on high speed roads then this is your trip. We found it disappointing and boring Our driver was great and flexible when we requested a change to the itinerary and it did improve. The Wadi drive was beautiful. Pack lunches are appalling.

One of the most consistently frustrating exercises each spring is determining who has options left. As I mentioned in my previous post, this may be one of those rare springs where it might not matter that much. I believe this to be a sign that the team is on the upswing.
Simply put: Winning teams don't agonize over these kinds of decisions because they're not choosing between young and marginal players.
In a nutshell, once a player is added to the 40-man roster during the 25-man period (a.k.a. Open Day to August 31), the team has three years that they can bounce him back and forth between the minors. Steve Lombardozzi, for example, has three options left because he was added to the 40-man in September, while Chris Marrero has only two because he was added in November 2010 and optioned to Syracuse in March 2011.
Think you got it straight? Well, then there's the 20-day exception. An option year is any year in which a player spends more than 20 consecutive days in the minors. I suspect that this was originally intended for rehab assignments (try sifting through that set Google results; I dare you) but has since morphed into a means for teams to stash a position player (or No. 5 starter) at AAA for three weeks in April. Hence, Roger Bernadina's upstate New York furlough in 2010.
Finally, there's the fourth-option exception (hey, that rhymes!) that's likely to become a relic: Teams can petition for a fourth option year if a player has less than five seasons of professional experience. This has mostly been the case with guys added to the 40-man immediately upon being drafted or those who have had significant injuries. Now you know how Ross Detwiler was able to start 2011 at Syracuse.
As I wrote in the previous post, the competition for the 25-man roster is most likely going to be at the fringes of the roster: the 12th man out of the bullpen and last spot or two on the bench. Here's a look at who's out of options but still has less than five years MLB service time (another rabbit hole), based on this post from Todd Boss and the work of our intrepid volunteer SpringfieldFan on the BigBoard:
- Roger Bernadina
- Sean Burnett
- Tyler Clippard
- Ross Detwiler
- Tom Gorzelanny
- Michael Morse
- Henry Rodriguez
Sure, I think most of us can pick a name or two here that could potentially not make the 25-man, but is any of them a starter? Now take a look at another subset: Non-prospects not on the 40-man with options:
- Mike Ballard
- Gaby Hernandez
- Waldis Joaquin
- Ryan Perry
Do any of these guys look like they'll beat out the aforementioned "one or two?" Maybe. But then there's this list of established players that still can be optioned down:
- Ian Desmond (2)
- Danny Espinosa (3)
- Jesus Flores (1)
- Gio Gonzalez (2)
- John Lannan (1)
- Wilson Ramos (2)
- Drew Storen (2)
- Stephen Strasburg (1)
- Jordan Zimmermann (2)
I think you can see that between these groups GM Mike Rizzo has his coveted "contingencies." And why most of the non-Harper prospect drama might just be about making noise, not making the roster.
But that's okay
I've been professionally trained to manufacture drama.
If you haven't noticed by now, I'm not drawn to the destination so much as the journey. Which is good because as the parent club gets better, the draft picks get lower and the prospects become less of a sure thing. A fair knock on the Nationals is that any idiot could have picked Strasburg, Harper, and Rendon [insert Jim Bowden joke here], let's see how well they do when they're picking 30th.
Well, it certainly looks like that chance is coming, doesn't it?
10 Responses to "Another Confusing Post About Options"
I suppose a minor trade alog the lines of Collin Balester for Ryan Perry might be in order. Thanks for trying, Mr. Shark.
I believe John Lannan still has an option left … but I don't see him anywhere … and I think he has less then five years of experience?
Oh skip that … I read too fast … sorry …
Totally unrelated – Sickels has a post about 2011 Draft Sleepers in the 11-20th rounds – kudos to Manny Rodriguez
"Drafted in the 10th round from Barry University in Florida, Rodriguez is a Cuban who has a low 90s fastball and showed a solid curve and change in college. He has a shot as a fourth/fifth starter or relief option. His stats in the New York-Penn League were nothing special (4.65 ERA, 39/18 K/BB in 50 innings, 55 hits) but he has the physical tools to build on."
It seems from what Sickels wrote he didn't know Manny was a converted position player.
To hell with the post, that sign is laugh-out-loud funny. 🙂
Even with the 25-man roster being more-or-less set, the fallout (and subsequent pushdown) of players to Syracuse will be interesting. And don't let anybody kid you, option availability WILL have an effect on who goes north.
I'm wondering how many players on the prospective Syracuse roster have "buyout" clauses built into their contracts, allowing them to become FA's if they are not on the 40-man by a set calender date.
[…] — little has changed. The Nats still have a perceived surplus, and as discussed last week in the options post, quite a selection of pitchers that can be added to the 40-man with, in essence, three open slots […]
[…] recent post on option status at Nationalsprospects.com (the option status of every player is now kept on the Big Board, which is good for me since I did […]

April 25, 2012
By Tom Weber
CARBONDALE, IL - On the eve of the National Football League draft, Saluki running back Jewel Hampton is back home in Indianapolis, where he will eagerly watch the three-day event unfold on ESPN with his family.
Hampton, who rushed for 1,121 yards and 17 touchdowns in his only season at Southern Illinois, said he's been told he could be picked anywhere from the late third to the late seventh round, or he could be signed afterward as a priority free agent. I asked him to predict what his reaction will be if his name gets called during the draft.
"I think I'll just sit there and smile in disbelief," Hampton said. "I've been waiting so long to see my dream come true, and if it comes, I'll just enjoy that moment with my mom and dad."
As a position group, running backs have been devalued by the NFL in recent years, as pro football has evolved into a more pass-happy game. Due to the punishment they take, the average career of a running back in the league is just three years.
In 2011, 24 running backs were selected in the draft, but only one was picked in the first round. The same is expected this year, as only Alabama's Trent Richardson is guaranteed to go in round one.
Hampton's draft status is uncertain because of his limited body of work in college. He was out most of two seasons at Iowa with knee injuries. His 2011 season at Southern was critical for his pro aspirations, because he proved he could stay healthy for an entire year.
At 5-foot-9 and 210 pounds, Hampton has the size NFL scouts are looking for. At the NFL Combine, he ranked among the top running backs in the bench press with 25 reps. During interviews, personnel people said they were impressed with his tape at SIU.
"A lot of teams said I run angry," Hampton said. "They say my running style is like (Baltimore's) Ray Rice, and that I run hard and fight for yards."
Hampton didn't run at the Combine because of lingering pain from a nagging ankle bruise, but he turned on the jets for scouts during an on-campus pro day in late March, running a 4.47 and 4.50.
Although he could have returned for one more season at Southern, Hampton is certain he made the right move to turn pro, and he appreciates the support he's received from SIU's coaching staff.
"Coach (Dale) Lennon has been on my side throughout the whole situation," he said. "He's been there with an open shoulder for me and backed me up like a father figure would."
Hampton said he wouldn't change a thing about his decision to transfer and play for the Salukis.
"Saluki fans opened up their arms to me," he said. "I feel like I had a great experience. The program welcomed me into their home. Without them giving me this opportunity, I wouldn't have this chance."

What's all the fuss? New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush only said what every Who Dat fan is thinking.
Yes, the Black and Gold can go undefeated.
Go ahead say it. Say it again and again. You feel so much better for having said it. It's exhilirating.
Never before have the final 10 games of a Saints season looked so promising. Not even when the team started out 7-0 in 1991 and eventually finished 11-5 and atop the NFC West.
Even playing the Atlanta Falcons (4-2) twice, Dallas (4-2) and New England (5-2), the Saints' last 10 games are considered to be the second easiest schedule in the NFL, going against the likes of Carolina twice (2-4), Tampa Bay twice (0-7), St. Louis (0-7) and Washington (2-5),
C'mon? Say it. I dare you.
In his weekly "First and 10'' column, John Clayton of ESPN.com says the Saints are looking at a 12-to-14 win season.

Sheldon Mickles of the Baton Rouge Advocate looks into his crystal ball and sees that 10-0 is not out of the realm of possibility for the Black and Gold, provided, of course, they get past the pesky Atlanta Falcons on Monday night.
Jim Henderson says the Saints have a national stage Monday night in which to tell the pro football world what Black and Gold fans already know.

Sept. 5, 2004
LOS ANGELES - The ninth-ranked UCLA women's soccer team, behind a three-goal performance from senior Kim Devine, registered a dominating 6-1 victory over visiting UC Santa Barbara at Drake Stadium Sunday. With the win, UCLA improves to 3-0 on the year. UCSB falls to 1-3.
UCLA didn't waste any time getting on the scoreboard, scoring just 58 seconds into the match. Sophomore forward Bristyn Davis tallied the first of her two goals on the day, chipping in a 30-yard shot just over the outstretched hands of UCSB goalkeeper Jamie Considine. The Bruins scored again about seven minutes later when freshman Danesha Adams headed in a Kendal Billingsley free kick, making the score 2-0 UCLA.
UCSB cut the lead in half in the 23rd minute of play when Chandi Bickford punched in a shot off a pass from Allie Kueny. Bickford entered the match as a substitute less than a minute before scoring. That was as close as the Gauchos would get however, as the Bruins managed to score again just before halftime. In the 43rd minute of play, Davis put in her second goal of the match with a left-footed strike at the top of the box. Crystal James beat her defender, sending in a perfect ball to Davis for the goal.
The second half of play belonged to Devine, as she scored all three UCLA goals within minutes of each other. Her first goal came at the 54:06 mark off an assist from Michelle Gleason. Just 38 seconds later she scored again after receiving a cross in the box from Davis. Devine's third goal came less than a minute after that (57:31), as Adams sent in a through ball up the middle, creating a one-on-one situation with Considine. Devine sent a shot into the right corner of the goal, completing the hat trick.
Freshman goalkeeper Valerie Henderson turned in another solid showing, giving up one goal in 75 minutes of play. Sophomore Arianna Criscione came in for the last 15 minutes, making one save. Due to the large margin of victory, a total of 20 UCLA players, including nine newcomers, saw action Sunday.
With a goal and an assist on the day, Adams has now tallied 11 points (5g, 1a) in just the first three matches. She has also recorded the game-winning goal in each contest. Davis is right behind Adams in scoring with 10 points (4g, 2a).
Twice before the Bruins have started a season 3-0. In 1997, UCLA moved out to a 6-0 record before falling to UConn. The 2001 Bruins were 11-0 until a loss at Santa Clara.
UCLA hits the road next week for the Virginia Nike Soccer Classic in Charlottesville, Virginia. The Bruins will take on the host Cavaliers on Friday at 7:00 p.m. (EST) before squaring off with Maryland on Sunday at Noon (EST).

Nokia starts pre-orders for the Lumia 625 in Russia, attaches $365 price and August 21 shipping date
The Nokia Lumia 625 is the Finnish company's biggest smartphone yet. It's not the flagship, however. Rather it's a midranger which aims to appeal to those who consider a big screen an absolute must (and don't necessarily care about its resolution).
The Lumia 625 was announced last month, and it's going to become available in around two weeks. We've already heard that August 26 may be its release date in the UK, but so far it hasn't been priced.
The situation is different in Russia, though. That's because over there Nokia itself has started taking pre-orders for the Lumia 625, through its online store. The device is priced at 11,990 rubles, which is about $365 or €272 at today's exchange rates. That's certainly not incredibly cheap, then again do keep in mind the fact that smartphones are usually a bit more expensive in Russia compared to the EU for whatever reasons.
Nokia attached a shipping date of August 21 to its pre-order listing, and an expected delivery date of August 22. This means that if you're in Russia and pre-order one as soon as possible, the Nokia Lumia 625 will be at your doorstep in exactly two weeks from now. Hopefully we'll see more pre-orders go live in more places soon.
The Nokia Lumia 625 has a 4.7-inch 480×800 touchscreen, a 5 MP rear camera with LED flash and 1080p Full HD video recording, a secondary front-facing camera, a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 512 MB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage space, microSD card support, all the usual connectivity options, and a 2,000 mAh battery. It runs Windows Phone 8 Amber.

Now that I live in Omaha, all the news stations keep saying that Creighton to the Big East is inevitable and that this will probably be their last year in the MVC.
Do people think that Creighton is going to be in the Big East next year or is this just the wishes of the city of Omaha?
Other than the rumors, I haven't found or read anything about this and I am getting sick of Creighton basketball being talked about like Nebraska football here in Omaha.

An academic has uncovered what is thought to be a new portrait of Pride and Prejudice author Jane Austen
The portrait is a long way from the bonneted author of popular imagination—and especially of actress Anne Hathaway who played her on screen—but a scholar is claiming to have discovered a new portrait of Jane Austen.
Austen academic and biographer Dr Paula Byrne believes that the drawing, showing a rather severe Jane in the process of writing, is genuine. She told the Radio Times: "She's a professional woman presenting herself to the world with the tools of her trade. It's the image of Jane Austen so many of us have been waiting for."
"If this really is an authentic portrait of Jane Austen, it has the potential to change our image of her for ever," she said. "Instead of the prim spinster of [sister] Cassandra's unfinished sketch here is a professional writer at the height of her powers."
Byrne will present the portrait to a series of experts including forensics teams, 18th-century costume experts and the editor of Austen's letters to ascertain whether it really is an authentic long-lost portrait of the novelist for a BBC documentary. Three experts will then judge whether the sketch is of the Pride and Prejudice author.
Byrne told the RT: "My immediate reaction was, 'My God, it's Jane Austen!'. "It was the nose that did it," she said.
"Jane Austen: The Unseen Portrait" will be broadcast on BBC2 on 26th December at 9 p.m.

Here is a problem in charpter $2$ section $5$ in Algebraic Number Theory written by Jiirgen Neukirch.
The problem is
Let $K$ be a $p-adic$ number field, $v_p$ the normalized exponential valuation of $K$, and $dx$ the Haar measure on the locally compact additive group $K$, scaled so that $\int_O dx = 1$. Then one has $v_p(a) = \int_{aO} dx$.
I would like to ask why the last equation holds,I think it should be $\shortmid a\shortmid _p =\int_{aO} dx$.
Please help me with it,thank you very much.

One Million Dollars Cash Bond Set for Westboro Shooter
On Sunday, September 8th at approximately 9:05 P.M., a 27 year old male Taylor County resident was taken into custody as the result of his involvement in a shooting incident that caused injury to a Taylor County Deputy Sheriff.
The officer, 5 year Taylor County Sheriff's veteran, Chad R. Kowalczyk, had made contact with the individual, 27 year old Alexander Joseph Schneider, as the result of a reported violation of a court ordered injunction. During that contact, officer Kowalczyk came under fire and ultimately reported to the Dispatch Center that he was injured.
Emergency medical personnel were dispatched along with additional law enforcement officers. Officer Kowalczyk also received assistance from concerned citizens in the area.
The suspect, Alexander Joseph Schneider, was apprehended, transported to and booked into the Lincoln County Jail.
Taylor County received law enforcement assistance from the Medford Police Department, Clark, Marathon, Eau Claire, Lincoln, Chippewa and Price County Sheriff's Departments.
The Westboro and Rib Lake Fire Departments provided assistance by conducting traffic control. Rib Lake Ambulance and First Responders along with Medevac and an area Flight For Life Service provided medical treatment and assistance to the injured officer.
Following his arrest Sunday night, Alexander Schneider was interviewed by WI DOJ DCI special agent David Forsythe. Schneider admitted to pointing a .22 caliber rifle at the deputy's head and shot at the deputy as the deputy ran around the house to the squad car.
Schneider admitted to shooting through his bedroom window at the deputy as he was trying to get into his squad car. Schneider said he was trying to shoot at the officer's center mass at that time.
Following the shooting, the officer radioed dispatch indicating he was wounded. As support officers moved to the scene of the shooting at W4945 CTH D, Westboro, the alleged shooter was apparently communicating via Facebook about his cowardly act. Schneider's Facebook page said that he had shot at law enforcement officers and was preparing to die.
Schneider was arrested about three hours after he shot the deputy and was taken to the Lincoln County Jail.
At a bond hearing in Tyalor County Court on Monday, September 9th, Judge Knox-Bauer set bond at one million dollars cash. Schneider's next court appearance is set for September 24th at 2:30.
Reports indicate that Deputy Chad Kowalczyk had a bullet removed from his stomach in surgery Sunday night. He reported to be recovering from his wounds at an area hospital.

bout to rewatch season 2, aka the best season
bout to rewatch season 2, aka the best season
didnt care about all that port shit. what the fuck is a stevedore? i still dont know.
2 also has the best version of the opening
I was trying to decide if I sould watch it or not. but since you are all watching it 2 years to late I came to the conclusion that you all are posers something I hope to never become.
However, I found this jewl. It might make for a nice read if you can find all the articles.
Read the comments too
Flame,Troll and Spoil
really digging season three. the shit buddy colvins doing + carcetti + marlo + avon and stringer scenes are awesome.
as far as gripping episodic television goes season 3 was probably the best. i like season 2 more for the social commentary aspects and whatnot, plus i think its better done artistically.
season 2 was always going to be the consensus 'worst' really, after season one a slow-burning season focused on the decline of unionized urban industry is not something most viewers wanted to see.
you only liked season 2 because youre a communist
im really looking forward to season 4 though. focusing on the school systems and whatnot.
its incredible. discounting my idiosyncratic love for season 2 its the best.
also theres a moment with bubbles which i think is maybe the saddest thing i've ever seen in any tv or movie
i was completely underwhelmed by season 4. it was great and it's one of my favourite seasons but it was hyped up too much for me
halfway through season 2, more so than ever i still think its the best. i might want to write a bunch of shit about it after its gone. ziggy talking to frank about all the stuff he remembers about his family of dockworkers from his childhood while drunk is one of the best moments in the series. seeing the neighborhood where white mike sells drugs, and how its becoming racially integrated, and with the one old lady washing her doorsteps almost every scene there, is a brilliant way of showing the grim future prospects of the working class in america.
holy shit the scene where stringer confesses to avon about d'angelo was FUCKING AWESOME
it gets better
