The public information rating on Banque Misr (BM) balances the bank's weak asset quality, marginal capitalization, and poor financial performance with its full government ownership, strong retail franchise, and good funding and liquidity profile. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services does not expect the government to privatize the bank in the foreseeable future. The final rating on BM, a government-related entity (GRE) under Standard & Poor's methodology, is higher than the stand-alone rating on the bank to reflect our expectation of high likelihood of government support in case of need. With total assets of Egyptian pound (EG-) 110.3 billion ($19.4 billion at EG-5.6 to $1) at fiscal year-end 2006 (June 30), BM is Egypt's second-largest bank, controlling about 15% of the...

Petrides notched solid wins over Curtis and St. Joseph by-the-Sea to finish the first day of the Staten Island Duals at 4-0 Saturday at Petrides HS in Sunnyside.
The Panthers handed the Vikings (3-1) and the Warriors (2-1) their only losses on the afternoon. St. Peter's and Monsignor Farrell's B team also finished 2-1. Susan Wagner, Tottenville and CSI/McCown were 0-3 in the round-robin tournament.
The action resumes Sunday at 9 a.m. with five more rounds of action at Petrides. Since Monsignor Farrell's A team is competing in the prestigious Shenendehowa Duals, the team with the best record at the Staten Island Duals will meet the Lions at a later date for the title.
Petrides didn't have much time to get warmed up before its match against Curtis as the two PSAL teams squared off in the first round. Although the defending champion Warriors were missing wrestlers and had to move players around different weight classes due to eligibility issues, the Panthers were happy to pull off a 48-28 win.
"It was a good win for us. We knew they weren't at full strength, but we'll meet them again in two weeks," said first-year Petrides head coach John Cichon. "It gave our guys confidence right from the beginning. We were able to keep that momentum rolling for most of the day."
After picking up a 65-12 triumph over Susan Wagner and then a 59-24 win over Tottenville, Petrides squared off against St. Joseph by-the-Sea, which was also 3-0 after notching wins against CSI/McCown (66-21), Farrell B (57-24) and St. Peter's (54-21).
The match was close, but the Panthers were able to pick up some late pins to record the 42-34 victory.
"It was a great win. Just like last year, it was a close match. That's something we came to expect against them because we knew they're a good team," said Cichon.
Petrides may find itself in the driver's seat to finish with the weekend's best record with matches scheduled today against CSI/McCown, Farrell B, St. Peter's and Port Richmond, but Cichon is not taking anything for granted.
"Now our goal is to keep focused and not overlook anybody on Sunday," the coach added.
NOTES: Metin Vrlaku (130 pounds), Mike Elassad (160) and Matt Dove (189) helped lead Petrides to the 4-0 mark with four wins apiece ... Port Richmond will compete Sunday in the event since the Raiders were unable to wrestle Saturday due to a scheduling conflict ... This year's tournament returned with only Staten Island teams after inviting a handful of off-Island teams to the event last year.

Skip to comments.Vanity: Greg Gutfeld hosting O'Reilly! LOL
Posted on 11/16/2012 5:06:03 PM PST by ConservativeMan55
This could get entertaining!!!!!!!
I had to do a double take when I saw this.
Watching now.
Hope he gets serious.
"This administration has created more tails than a Tuxedo factory"
Awesome! I love this guy.
He can be a fairly serious guy.
Not just a smoking gun - smoking cannon.
I hope he doesn't.
"Obama and Holder are so close, when Obama eats Taco Bell, Holder gets gas." Lol
Thanks for letting us know. I wouldn't watch otherwise.
LOL! Did he say that? hahahahaha I missed that!
He will, on Benghazi. He's just as mad as we are about this cover-up.
"There are more angles here than a Picasso painting"
Yes, it was hysterical.
I'll actually watch this. I hope he doesn't try too hard to be like O'Reilly.
an O'Reilly you could actually like!
"thrown so many people under the bus it's like Jiffy Lube"
He says the Obama Administration has thrown so many people under the bus they are like jiffy lube
Just as I settle in he's going to have Geraldo on. Geez can we never get a break.
Gutfeld vs Geraldo?
Might be worth watching.
Gutfeld will ask the questions we would ask....and he actually let's the person answer without stopping him short of what we want to know...
I LIKE it. Even tuned in..
Media's slobbering love affair with Obama.
Loved that.
Horrendous Revolver is so far left even O'Reilly almost smacked him once.
Hahaha he just said Ben wants to raise taxes so he can get invited to Cocktail parties without being yelled at by actors.
Gutfeld is the one thing I miss about dropping cable.
Something he said about Ron Paul awhile back ticked me- something like,'Ron Paul is is about 80% smart 'ol man and about 20 % off the wall coo coo..like ordering a steak with a side order of skittles.'
When I am doing some late night tossing and turning...I love flipping on 'Red Eye" to enjoy a humorous slant on the news.
Million times better than O'Reilly.
love how his parting comment to that ahole Ben Stein was "you're a communist"
Gutfeld will ask the questions we would ask....and he actually lets the person answer without stopping him short of what we want to know...
Refreshing break from all the talk over, I know the answer hosts. E.g
Bill O
First time in weeks I've watched the whole show! BORe not missed at all. You can here the crew just cracking up from time to time. :-)
What a refreshing change! As another poster mentioned he asks the questions we would ask. The hour went by too quickly.
I have heard him on the Jim Bohannon show and the man can be serious.He is very likable and conservative.
Yep it went by fast!!
Fox ought to swap time slots for their two shows.
Anyone is better than BOR. Gutfeld is particularly entertaining. Much better than Juan Williams.
"Red Eye" is the funniest, most-entertaining, political show on TV, yet serious at the same time.
I record it every weekday AM and watch it during the evening.
If you're not a "Red Eye" viewer, you're missing out on the best political show on TV.
BTW, Gutfeld is 10x funnier and smarter than that clown over on the Comedy Channel.
Gutfeld should have his own show in a better time slot.
He is actually a conservative unlike Mr Is Your Thong Wet

The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
There's a big name gunning after Green Mountain Coffee's (UNKNOWN: GMCR.DL ) Keurig K-Cup business. Whole Foods Market (NASDAQ: WFM ) became the latest grocer to go the private-label route, offering its own K-Cup brand.
The market roughed up Green Mountain's stock on the news, but that doesn't seem justified. Green Mountain has survived having much larger grocers enter the market, and it's still on track for double-digit growth.
True to Whole Foods Market's upscale market, the first wave of K-Cups are also quite a bit more expensive than Green Mountain's own portion packs.
There's always the possibility that Whole Foods' entry into this market validates the single-serve platform to its eco-friendly customer base. It would pay off if folks buy Keurig machines, and then start to explore with the wide variety of beverage and brand options. However, even if that doesn't happen, it would seem as Green Mountain's 10% hit this week was overdone.
Briefly in the news
And now let's take a quick look at some of the other stories that shaped our week.
- General Motors (NYSE: GM ) introduced the all-new 2014 Cadillac ELR, building on its Volt model of combining electric power with an internal combustion engine for extended range. The $75,000 price tag is going to be a turnoff, but GM will have an interesting high-end play to combat those who have range anxiety over all-electric vehicles.
- Darden Restaurants (NYSE: DRI ) has an activist investor on board, reportedly suggesting that the struggling casual-dining chain spin off its smaller, faster-growing restaurants. If that doesn't work, maybe we can get the Red Lobster and Olive Garden parent to start serving Cheddar Bay bread sticks at both of the struggling chains.
- Costco (NASDAQ: COST ) posted a rare quarterly earnings miss this week, but it sure is selling a lot of poultry. The warehouse club pointed out during its conference call that it sells 60 million of its $4.99 rotisserie whole chickens a year. Add it up, and that's a $300 million-a-year business. Take that, Boston Market!
Now look ahead with some dividend-paying winners
Dividend stocks can make you rich. It's as simple as that. While they don't garner the notability of high-flying growth stocks, they're also less likely to crash and burn. And over the long term, the compounding effect of the quarterly payouts, as well as their growth, adds up faster than most investors imagine. With this in mind, our analysts sat down to identify the absolute best of the best when it comes to rock-solid dividend stocks, drawing up a list in this free report of nine that fit the bill.

I hope that everyone who reads this has a special place in their hearts for veterans. Without their service and sacrifices and the dedication of those in uniform today America would not be free.
Some veterans share stories about how their service changed their lives; others keep memories of war experiences tucked deep inside. All veterans fought for something greater than themselves - to protect freedom and the innocent by defeating tyranny and terrorism - and they have literally changed the world for the better.
Older veterans who fought in World War II and Korea stand proud of their service that thwarted the plans of evil rulers. Vietnam veterans, despite having to fight a battle back home to protect their reputation, bravely and effectively fought in Southeast Asia to hold back communism. (For the record and from a military standpoint, America did not lose the Vietnam War as was noted in the memoirs of a top North Vietnamese Army General. The General noted that his army was near defeat when the tide of war shifted due to wavering public opinion in America). Veterans of Desert Shield/Desert Storm defeated Saddam Hussein's attempt to take over Kuwait and to control much of the world's oil supply. Our youngest combat veterans rallied strong after the 9-11-01 terror attacks on American soil and their comrades continue to battle terrorists where they live and train, much to the appreciation of Afghanistan and Iraqi citizens who enjoy their new found freedom.
There are veterans of Special Forces and other fast reaction teams who served in lesser known missions to keep America and global democracies safe. The presence of millions of veterans on active duty during the Cold War and those who never deployed during war time kept more wars from breaking out. Case in point: one of the reasons that the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s ended peacefully was because the Soviet Union knew that any offensive strike on America during the Bay of Pigs standoff could have resulted in the destruction of its major cities and military installations back in the USSR.
As we recognize Veteran's Day 2010 on Thursday, I hope you join the PA VFW in showing great respect and high honor to veterans of all ages. No one segment of our nation's population has been asked to do more for their country than veterans. In fact, our veterans have secured a peaceful future for many other nations across the world. Still today, ceremonies are held in many regions in Europe to honor the American veterans who liberated their towns.
The PA VFW shares this poem with Pennsylvanians as we recognize Veteran's Day to give citizens an accurate measure of veterans' contributions to America:
It is the veteran, not the preacher,
who has given you freedom of religion.
It is the veteran, not the reporter,
who has given you freedom of the press.
It is the veteran, not the poet,
who has given you freedom of speech.
It is the veteran, not the liberal protesters,
who has given you freedom to assemble.
It is the veteran, not the lawyer,
who has given you the right to a fair trial.
It is the veteran, not the politician,
who has given you the right to vote.
It is the veteran, who salutes the Flag,
and who serves under the Flag.
Let us salute all veterans and those in the military for their courage and commitment - they are all American patriots. Let us also remember that their families have made enormous sacrifices to support their loved one as he or she answered the call to defend America and to preserve democracy worldwide. Give them all a heartfelt, "Thanks for my freedom."

Yet another critique of college rankings
Claremont McKenna scandal
has brought about an avalanche of opinions concerning the assorted college ranking lists thrust upon the American public, the
U.S. News
being the most notorious of course.
chimed in before
about my feelings about the rankings and I'm certainly not alone. Here is
a particularly good critique
from CNN.com written by Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, president emeritus and university professor of public service at The George Washington University.
I wonder how many other schools have submitted false data to inflate their rankings? I'm sure many, if not most, game the system to some extent. But Claremont McKenna has stepped over the line, and if there is any good that comes out of their transgression, it's the renewed focus, such as in the CNN article above, on the flawed nature of the rankings.

The San Francisco Giants don't need to overhaul their entire lineup to fix a broken offense. They just need the perfect pieces to bring it all together.
The 2010 World Champs are officially eliminated as postseason contenders and it's time to start thinking about who will fill the void next season.
San Francisco's offense is the worst in the majors. However, the ability of the team to hold on to first place for most of the season and only be mathematically eliminated in their 158th game highlights just how good their pitching staff really is.
Now is the time for this franchise to capitalize on a window of opportunity in which they posses some of the best arms in the league, by focusing on hitting.
When healthy, this lineup has the potential to support it's pitchers. The highly anticipated return of 2010 NL Rookie of the Year Buster Posey and veteran second–basemen Freddy Sanchez will be a start.
However the team is going to need something extra to redeem itself from the embarrassing numbers put up this season.

The Hoboken City Council voted down negotiated contracts with the city's police unions Wednesday night and the matter is likely to be decided by a state official, according to The Jersey Journal.
Also in today's Jersey Journal, Hoboken will receive $11.1 million in state aid under Gov. Christie's proposed budget.
Gov. Chris Christie wants more charter schools
opening next year because they don't need to be heavily subsidized by the state to provide
quality education for their students, calling them "the masters of doing more with less," according to the Star-Ledger.

How did the President react to the Watts riot? Did he see it as an affront to his Civil Rights record and programs?
Well, he was dismayed. I wrote--
I'm sorry, can you begin with "President Johnson?"
I'm sorry. President Johnson was dismayed by the Watts riot and by all the riots that followed. I wrote a speech for him.
I'm sorry, I need you to answer just in terms of the Watts Riot, in terms of our chronology.
President Johnson was dismayed
Start again, I was talking
President Johnson was dismayed by the Watts riot. I wrote a speech for him on the morning after the riots. He was to address several hundred people on the south lawn of the White House, people who had come from all over the country to talk about equal employment opportunity. Um, I wrote a very tough speech, saying that the violence of the looters and rioters in Watts was really no better than the violence of the Ku Klux Klan, that it was an anti-civil violence that would provoke a violent reaction and would end up, um, crippling the efforts that we were trying to make in the field of Civil Rights and improvement of Black life. President Johnson made the speech that I wrote and that made the news, but he went on, on that same occasion, and made another speech, one that he, um, felt in his heart, and he made it extemporaneously, and he said conditions are so bad in some of these cities that it's small wonder that people riot and until we learn how to do things better in this country for the millions that are living in poverty in the cities, then we can expect more of this. "So it's your job," he said to them, always giving his audience a job to go do, "to, um, go out and try to make some real changes in employment conditions in the cities." That speech wasn't included, but, ah, in the news accounts, because it wasn't put out to the press, but, um, he was, um, as, um, hurt, as hurt, as mystified, as troubled as he could be by the riots. He sent Ramsey Clark, the attorney general, out to Los Angeles.

1993 Geo Tracker
by PapaRob from Lehi, Utah | April 8, 2015
Perhaps the best and funnest vehicle I've ever owned. I get people wanting to buy it from me all the time. I'll never part with this reliable little feller! We keep it at our vacation home in Southern Utah and it's made many treks to the desert and Toroweap (primitive) Overlook of the Grand Canyon. It will almost climb a tree in 4WD Low Range. Because the weather is so great in the St. George area, I keep the soft top off most of the year. Too bad they don't make new mini SUVs this good anymore.

HONG KONG -- Major Asian markets inched higher today amid signs China's stimulus measures were helping shield its economy from the global slump and as governments issued cautious outlooks about the recovery. European markets also rose.
The tentative gains came as investors sifted through a rash of data about China's economy that provided signs Beijing's multibillion-dollar effort to restore stable growth was making headway, though weak fundamentals persisted.
While still pointing to improvements, some of the data, including those covering industrial production, fixed investment and lending, were somewhat weaker than many investors anticipated. What's more, imports and exports were still down sharply from a year earlier amid continuing subdued demand from Western countries.
Investors have been counting on China's homegrown growth, driven by government spending and a flood of new bank lending, to bolster other economies still emerging from the downturn.
However, Peter Lai, investment manager at DBS Vickers in Hong Kong, said he was expecting a correction in the markets because expectations China's growth can aid the region in a significant way, among the reasons for Asia's gains this year, may be overdone.
"The upside room is quite limited right now," he said. "The global economy may have reached a bottom, but the revival will take some time, there are just too many uncertainties."
Sherman Chan, economist with Moody's Economy.com in Australia, described the Chinese data as "modest," representing a break from the government's frenetic efforts to hit the country's economic growth target this year.
"They're catching their breath after a strong second quarter," she said. "The government is so keen to achieve 8 percent growth it means they'll have to step up efforts in the second half."
Early in Europe, benchmarks in Britain, France and Germany were higher by around 0.5 percent.
After trading in a narrow range in the morning, most Asian markets headed higher.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng closed up 144.69 points, or 0.7 percent, at 21,074.21 and Shanghai's benchmark added 0.5 percent to 3,264.73
Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average rose 61.20, or 0.6 percent, to 10,585.46 as the Bank of Japan said there were signs the downturn was bottoming out but warned about growing joblessness.
South Korea's central bank was similarly cautious, saying the road to stronger growth was uncertain because recoveries in other major economies could be delayed. The country's benchmark Kospi added 0.2 percent to 1,579.21.

Wall Street futures rose modestly with Dow futures up 21 points, or 0.2 percent, at 9,341 and S&P futures ahead by 4.25, or 0.3 percent, at 1,616.75.
Oil prices lingered below $71 a barrel, with benchmark crude for September delivery up 37 cents at $70.97. On Monday, the contract fell 33 cents.

Ancient Van Cleef & Arpels tiara features in Mirror, Mirror
In case you wanted to swoon over something other than Ryan Gosling, here's a suggestion: an ancient Van Cleef & Arpels tiara (with a 116-year history they CAN brag about something ancient indeed).
The priceless masterpiece, made of gold and platinum and embedded an eye-popping, heart-raising caratage of diamonds, features in the upcoming Mirror Mirror film, a modern, yet allegedly comically feeble spin on the Grimm Brothers' Snow White starring Lily Collins and Julia Roberts.

The Van Cleef & Arpels, Timeless Beauty heritage exhibition will showcase jewellery, watches, and precious accessories, as well as archive drawings and documents of the place Vendôme Maison in the Chinese city from May 20th to July 15th at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

Welcome Lisa. keep up the reading and the experiments, you will learn so much as you go.
Don't worry about feeding your children, I'm sure you and they are both doing fine so far. Meat, fruit, veges and dairy are all primal.
You can begin to unobtrusively reduce the wheat by for example serving rice and potatoes more often than pasta, they may not even notice for a while.
Make the good food so tasty and delicious that they will not even miss the junk.
Rice bubbles and yoghurt go down well with kids instead of toast.
Primal pancakes can be made from bananas and eggs.
The children are young enough to learn good habits from you at home, I know it is disheartening how often other people will ply them with total garbage but there is not much can be done about that.
Oh, just noticed about your vegetarian husband - well maybe when he sees how delicious your food is he will come around. Bacon is almost irresistable IMO.
Good luck.

, updated June 9, 2013 at 1:23 AM
This time of year is about as good as it gets for being a sports fan if you are Kevin Sylvester, the co-host with Andrew Peters of "Sabres Hockey Hotline" on WGR Radio.
The Stanley Cup finals will get under way next week, as will golf's U.S. Open at Merion. Hockey and golf are not just two passions in life for Sylvester, they also provide him with a living as a broadcaster.
"Sabres Hockey Hotline," which is sponsored by the team and originates from the Sabres Store at First Niagara Center, will celebrate its one-year anniversary on June 18.
Sylvester also hosts the "Tee 2 Green Golf Show," which airs on WGRZ Channel 2 and on WGR 550. (The TV version, which is on Saturday mornings at 10:30 and Sundays at midnight, winds up its season next weekend. The radio show, co-hosted by Brian Koziol, will continue from 7-8 a.m. on Saturdays.)
"If you love hockey and golf, the next couple of weeks are going to be fantastic," Sylvester said by phone on Friday. "If you count the Memorial golf tournament, it's been a fun few weeks. I don't know if my wife would agree with that."
Sylvester has a well-developed sense of humor when it comes to golf. Last year he wrote a book called "The Married Man's Guide to Golf," a humorous look at how to keep the game from turning into a good marriage spoiled. (There is more on the book at KevinSylvester.com.)
His light touch behind the microphone also has a lot to do with the success of "Sabres Hockey Hotline." He and Andrew Peters, the former Sabres forward, have fun together on the air and have developed a nice rapport.
An interview they did back in mid-February on the air with the NHL's czar of discipline and player safety, Brendan Shanahan, was an example of how the show's laid-back approach can pay dividends. Shanahan discussed several discipline cases, but also had some fun reconnecting with Peters, a former teammate.
"Because of Andrew Peters' relationship with Shanahan from training camp years ago with the Devils, it really worked well," Sylvester said. "It was a nice conversation to have with him where he was more relaxed than maybe he normally would have been."
Sylvester added that he and Peters have become a good team.
"As a matter of fact, you can't shut us up during the breaks. We always have to be told, 'Hey, we're coming back!' We're really having fun doing it."
One year in, Sylvester said "Sabres Hockey Hotline" is in the midst of an evaluation period involving him and management from the Sabres and WGR.
"We sit down and say, 'This is where we've gone and what can we do better?,' because you can always improve. We've had some great input from everybody involved. Now we're trying to implement that input to a plan going forward. And I'm very excited about some of the things we're going to try to do over the summer and when the season starts."
Sylvester is paid by the Sabres to do "Hockey Hotline," so there's always the notion that one is hearing the party line when it comes to discussing issues around the team. But he says he gets very little interference from team ownership or management when it comes to planning the show.
"I can honestly say in the past 12 months I have never been told what to say on the show," Sylvester said. "They have asked if I would be willing to have a guest on, but it's never been, 'Hey, you're going to have so and so on and talk about this.'
"In the same vein, I've asked, can we do this? And they say, we're going to have to wait to have that person on, and so forth.
"They've been great about it. … They've given me a lot of latitude with it, which is important."
Sylvester's broadcast schedule during the Sabres' offseason does permit him to keep his golf game in shape. He played in a media day outing last Monday at Oak Hill in Pittsford, site of this year's PGA Championship. To challenge himself, he played from the championship tees.
"How many times do you watch like the U.S. Open at Merion and you say to yourself, 'Oh, could I break 100 there from where they're playing it?" he said.
"I was completely humbled at Oak Hill," he said. "I broke 100 - I shot 91. Everyone says, 'Well, that was a great score,' but it didn't feel like it. I was in the rough all day. But it was great to play, it was a thrill."
Short takes
• Peter King, the venerable NFL columnist for Sports Illustrated, is taking on a new role with SI, developing a so-called microsite within SI.com. The site, which hasn't been named, will focus on all NFL, all the time. The model for microsites is Bill Simmons' Grantland, which is part of ESPN.com and covers pop culture as well as various sports.
"We're not going to be writing about Veep or Mad Men or Homeland," King told AwfulAnnouncing.com, "other than me writing in Monday Morning Quarterback that I love Veep." The site's launch is planned for July 22.
• Golf fans can whet their appetites for the U.S. Open with a look back at Lee Trevino's win over Jack Nicklaus in the 1971 Open at Merion Golf Club. "Lee Trevino, An American Champion," airs today at 5 p.m. and will be replayed June 17 on the Golf Channel at 10 p.m. "Merion gave me my career," Trevino says of his playoff win over the Golden Bear.

Online Draft Simulator Help
Positional Priority Codes
Positional Priority Codes
The Positional Priority Codes are at the heart of how Drafttek.com's simulation models work. Seven codes are used to describe the level of need at each position. The 7 codes are not to be thought of in terms of a 1-to-10 scale: this is the greatest source of confusion we see from emails received.
Rather, each code triggers a specific body of logic within the computer model. Each code is meant to represent different train of thought regarding how a GM might view each position on his team with regards to draft need. The intent is that for each position the football field, the draft need can be described using one of the 7 codes provided . . .
Team Needs - Priority Code Descriptions
a. Only 1 position can be assigned a P1 need per team
b. The "reach limit" adjusts for each selection. If a team is selecting at #4 overall, the reach will be limited as the GM may choose to go for a more impactful player at a slightly lesser position of need, rather than reach too far to fill the P1. If a team is selecting at #30 on the other hand, not too many eyebrows will be raised if the #45 ranked player is chosen to fill a P1 need.
c. After a player is selected - the Priority code is reset to P9. Example: Assume QB is a P1 priority, and further assume the ODS model finds a QB in the first round. After the QB selection has been made, the QB priority will then be set to P9, so that no further QB's will be selected. The exception is if a Multiple, or "M" code is used.
2) Priority 2 (or P2) PP's designated with P2 indicate that the team is in great need of Starting Caliber talent at the position, and will reach to fill the the position. The reach isn't quite as great as P1
a. A team can identify more than one PP as a P2 need.
b. Alternately, the top teams may not have any P2 needs.
c. If a player is selected at a P2 position, the priority for the position will be set to P9. Same as with P1 and all the other priorities. The exception is when a Multiple, or "M" code, is employed.
3) Priority 3 (or P3) PP's designated with P3 indicate that the team is in need of "Starting Caliber" talent at the position, but will not reach for it. Some teams use a "best player available" draft discipline, or perhaps more accurately "best player available at positions of need" - this approach can make good use of P3
a. even though we say that P3 "will not reach", in fact there is a little bit of reach. A team selecting at #25 could reach to the #30 player to fill a P3 need. Why is this? There is some variability in the rating of players - the difference between #25 and #30 may be very small. Undoubtably some scouting service will rate our #30 guy higher than our #25.
b. The program has some override logic built in where a P3 player can be selected over a P2 player if the difference in Big Board rank is wide enough
4) Priority 4 (or P4) PP's designated with a P4 code are depth needs. P4 codes are purely value oriented selections, so there is no reach involved. If the computer simulator is unable to find players rated P1, P2 or P3, it will look for players coded as P4.
a. Without getting into specifics, the ODS program will expand the reach on P1-P3 and try to fill those again, prior to looking to fill a P4 rated position.
5) Priority 5 (or P5) The P5 code causes a little bit of confusion with our users. P5 is NOT a lower priority code than P4. Here's the "GM logic" behind the P5 code: You've got a certain position, let's say Offensive Guard (OG). You definitely want to get one in the draft, but do not want to invest a high draft pick. In rounds 1-3, the program logic will go after a P5 player only if it cannot find a P1, P2, P3 or P4 player. But in Round 4, all P5 positions will be promoted to P3. Thus dramatically improving the odds that a player so designated will be chosen.
a. P5 is a dual-purpose, or transitional code, with a different meaning in Rounds 1-3 than in Rounds 4-7.
6) Priority 6 (or P6) The P6 code is similar in function to P5, but identifies positions that a GM would like to fill in the late rounds - such as a Kicker, Punter, or backup QB. P6's have very low priorities in rounds 1-4 and will fill a player under only under the most unlucky of circumstances - no players in positions of need are anywhere within reach range, and no P4's or P5's are available either. In the 5th round, a conversion takes place and all P6 PP's convert up to P4. So P6's do not promote to a "starter need" priority.
6) Priority 9 (or P9) The P9 code means that the GM has absolutely no need to draft a player at the position. PP's designated as P9 will be drafted only in extreme situations.
a. When a position has been filled, the ODS program will toggle the Priority code to P9
b. Assume a situation where a team does not have many needs, and the ODS user supplies 17 of the 22 Player Positions with a P9 need. In this case, the ODS program may be faced with the situation where, in the late rounds, all the needs positions have been filled and converted up to P9's. The ODS program will then revert to a Best Player Available mode to select the highest rated P9.

Dover, Del. -The Cicero Dawgs got pushed into the loser's bracket, but the 18U baseball team has fought its way into today's final round of the double-elimination Little League Eastern Regional tournament.
The Dawgs split a pair of games Tuesday, dropping a 3-2 decision in eight innings to the New Jersey state champions.
Eric Hamilton pitched a complete game for the Dawgs, yielding just three hits and two earned runs and striking out nine.
The loss dropped Cicero to the loser's bracket where they faced off against the hosts from Dover – a team Cicero had already defeated in game two of the tournament.
In a 5-1 win over the Delaware team, Cicero was led by Ryan Martin, who pitched 5 1/3 strong innings, giving up just one run on one hit and two walks with two strikeouts. Will Apps pitched the final 1 2/3 innings, giving up one hit, to earn his second save of the tournament.
Cicero was again led offensively by Paul Ludden and Joe DeLuca. Ludden went 5-for-7 in the two games, scoring twice and batting in a run. DeLuca went 3-for-7 with a triple and three RBI for the games.
The Dawgs must defeat New Jersey, which has yet to lose, twice today to capture the Big League division championship. Games are at 5:30 and 8:30 p.m.

The entire evening was wonderful - from the performer to the excellent food at the Blue Dolphin. The seating was great in that our seats were not too close together but still allowed for a conversational atmosphere without the need to shout to be heard by others at the table.

OK.. so because I fell apart thursday night and Friday was a mess. Sitting here this morning I was thinking. My tummy says its hungry, fresh peaches, eggs and bacon sound good forget the darn rumble strips, who cares. My brain says, hop on the scale even though WI is not until tomorrow. Yeah, OK.. what the heck. Ummm down 8 pounds. YUP! So... maintaining my rumble strip, my MD today and fat fast until 4:30pm.
I am well rested even though I could not sleep until midnight, I slept deep until 8am. I think things are looking up. Ignore the ramblings above when I was mentally and physically tired.
I was going to say, be kind to yourself. I have wanted to start ADF for awhile now, but knew I couldn't until I had enough fuel in the take. Nourish yourself, get some rest, and then go hard with ADF
8 pounds, WTG!!!
I am back on the scale most mornings, currently it is motivating me as a sort of reminder of what I am doing in a way that it has not always done in the past. When the number is down I am like "oh yeah, it is working", when the number is up I redouble my efforts (like this morning) with a "oh no you don't, this works and you know it so get on it girl!" attitude.
I am with Ruth too, gotta take care of yourself on the up days and moderate days to make the down days possible.
Today: MD 1451 check not looking at other macros.
I had some grape tomatoes before 4:30 (44 calories)
forgot meds
pretty sure I did not drink enough fluids
official day is tomorrow but this morning showed -8 pounds
not much today. I have been pushing it pretty hard for more than a few days.
Going to try and sleep at a normal time with melatonin
Binge: not today. All my food is deliberate hunger driven and primal worthy

TRENTON — Now that the Notre Dame High baseball team has acquired its first piece of hardware this season, the Irish can begin to look ahead at accomplishing the two remaining goals it set out to achieve.
After dispatching West Windsor-Plainsboro South, 7-3, Tuesday for the Mercer County Tournament title — the seventh in program history, the Irish have positioned their crosshairs on capturing the Colonial Valley Conference Colonial Division title as well as a sectional title.
After yesterday's 7-4 win over Trenton, Notre Dame (17-3, 12-3 in the CVC) owns a half-game lead over Steinert (15-7, 12-4) as the regular season winds down to its final games.
Notre Dame closes out its conference slate with a huge home game Saturday with Hamilton and then with Princeton on Tuesday before the NJSIAA South Jersey Non-Public 'A' Tournament commences next Friday.
"It's not going to be easy, because we've used a lot of pitching," head coach Joe Drulis said. "It's going to be a difficult stretch, but our kids are playing confidently, and hopefully that confidence will continue to rub off, and we'll continue to do well."
It certainly wasn't lost on the Notre Dame players, the significance of being able to help deliver Drulis, a well-respected coach, his fourth MCT title.
"The guy would jump off of a bridge for us, and we'd do the same for him," standout third baseman/designated hitter Don Walsh said. "We went out there and left it all on the field for him."
The way this year's Notre Dame team was comprised was interesting for a number of reasons.
For one, Walsh, Jeremy Keegan, Angelo Giambelluca, MCT Most Valuable Player Enzo Esposito and speedy center fielder Matt Camera all would have attended Nottingham had they not gone the parochial-school route.
That certainly speaks to some of the troubles that the Northstars have experienced during a 5-15 season.
But it was hard not to notice how valuable the players who reside from Pennsylvania have been during Notre Dame's successful campaign.
Incidentally, right fielder Conner Lafferty (13 RBIs, six doubles, CVC-leading seven saves), shortstop Jamie Galazin (.373 batting average, 14 RBIs, seven doubles, three homers, seven stolen bases while playing tremendous defense) and second baseman Austin O'Donnell (.300) all would have attended Neshaminy High together.
"We've been lucky with Pennsylvania kids," Drulis said. "Our all-time leading hits guy is Blaise Lezynski, a Pennsylvania kid. Derek Shunk, our third-leading hitter all-time who went to Villanova and is the all-time hits leader there, is from Pennsylvania.
"We've been blessed that we've had some really good Pennsylvania players to come over and attend our school. Neshaminy is a big school, so maybe Notre Dame has a little bit of a smaller environment that kids can adapt to a little bit better."

(Readers beware - the following content includes graphic descriptions of books being disfigured).
Book lovers, before you judge artist Ben DiNino for cutting up books and turning them into art, be aware that he is one of you and he has the resume to prove it - he was a librarian for several years and he is familiar with bookbinding.
"I worked at the library when I was in college at Tyler and then I got a job at Temple - just working at the circulation desk," he said. "Then I got promoted to head of circulation and I was there from '96 to '99."
Article Photos
While DiNino, a York native, lived in Chicago, he worked at Paper Source, where he learned about bookbinding.
"I was a manager of the store and they had classes in bookbinding," he said. "I learned from a few of the classes, especially Asian-style bookbinding."
The artist loves reading and believes that through his book art, he is giving the objects a second life.
"I'm taking these books that would be thrown away otherwise," he said. "I feel like I'm saving these items."
He's built his life around collecting and preserving things - he has stacks of records, films and film projectors (8, super 8 and 16 millimeter) and photos.
"I collect ... anything with a history that is weathered and worn," he said. "I also collect playing cards that I find on the street. I've been doing this for about 15 years and have made a complete deck."
His first book project, cutting all the "a" 's out of "The Scarlet Letter," began as a gift to a friend who was going through a hard time.
"[It] was originally started for a friend that had an affair, which caused some problems amongst my circle of friends at the time and she felt a bit ostracized," he said.
He wasn't able to complete the project before his trip to Korea, where he completed an extensive stay at a temple outside of Seoul in 2000.
"I meditated every day and was focusing on trying to be a good person," he said. "I thought by going [to Korea], I might end up becoming a monk."
In the temple, meditation was required from 7 to 9 p.m., "with silent breaks for working and cleaning and eating with monks," DiNino said.
However, the artist realized that the monk's life wasn't for him.
"It was amazing but I realized it wasn't what I wanted to do," he said. "It's really hard - my knees were killing me."
During DiNino's trip, he forgot all about the book and lost touch with his friend. Despite this, he completed the artwork upon his return to the U.S.
"By the end, it was like a library punch card," he said. "Since I finished it, I don't know where she is and I still haven't figured out what to do with all the 'a' 's."
The project opened up a new world of book art to DiNino, who began cutting out images in old science texts, creating 3D collages like the ones that were on display at the Grey Art Gallery, 140 W. Fourth St., in August and September.
"A lot of the books I choose tend to be older - maybe around the '50s," DiNino said. "There's a certain type of illustration - an older style - that works really well."
Most of the texts DiNino chooses are black and white, although he has experimented with color ones as well.
"I was only picking black and white books for a while," DiNino said. "I like the sparcity of black and white. I've done a couple in color ... but sometimes it's too much."
DiNino has used how-to manuals for girl's gymnastics and scuba diving as well as books about insects and birds.
"I did one for a friend of mine, it's a girl's gymnastics book," DiNino said. "It's simple outlines of girls doing somersaults and filled with that style the whole way through."
DiNino recently moved to South Williamsport because his wife is studying at Pennsylvania College of Technology. At the moment, he is a stay-at-home dad for his son and he only found the Grey Art Gallery by accident.
"I had just gotten to town," he said. "It was the beginning of July and we had just finally unpacked everything. I wanted to find where a book store is. I went over, found a parking space and I was feeding the meter when I turned around and found an art gallery."
DiNino ventured inside and talked to gallery co-owner Casey Gleghorn, who invited the artist to bring his work in so Gleghorn could look at it.
"He really liked them, which was encouraging," DiNino said. "I hadn't pursued showing my work at all. I usually trade my work for a friend's work or give them away as presents."
DiNino has quickly become an enthusiastic participant in Williamsport's thriving art scene.
"I didn't expect there to be so many creative people," he said. "There's a lot of creativity here and that's exciting. It's not like small-town art. There is a group of people here interested in doing something different."
Artistically speaking, DiNino is now looking to embark on the most daunting book project yet - a National Geographic encyclopedia.
"I'm not sure, personally, how it's going to work," he said. "I don't know if it's going to look like a muddled, colorful mess. It's interesting for me to see it develop. It's exciting for me."

City officials have determined what Milosev proposes is the highest and best use for that property, said Collins.
Even if Adelaide gets a KOZ, the project's plans must be approved by the city before it can be developed. The developers also will have to request rezoning. Officials said it currently is zoned for light industrial uses.
Commissioner Percy Dougherty said he has great difficulty with an industrial building being transformed into a residential building, especially if it will mean more children bringing more financial stress to the school district. "Not that I'm against kids," he added.
Milosev said more than half the apartments will have only one bedroom. Collins argued that even with two-bedroom units in the complex, Adelaide Mills will not be a natural draw for families with school-age children.
Dougherty said he supports KOZs that will spur job-creating industrial activity.
But Commissioner Daniel McCarthy said the 19th-century building is not suitable for 21st -century manufacturing.
Adelaide Mills was built in 1881, according to a date on a peak of the four-story brick building.
Weighing the KOZ
Collecting the current property tax plus 10 percent for the next 10 years is far less than the county and school district would collect in increased taxes if the property could be redeveloped without a KOZ in less than 10 years.
"We do lose the potential gain on the value of the property," said Commissioner Michael Schware.
But Jones countered it's a gain that will never happen without KOZ.
Said Dougherty: "Some people have expressed to me that, with everything that's going on in downtown Allentown, this site probably will be developed anyway without the KOZ."
Collins said Adelaide is much larger than any other former mills that have been redeveloped in the city and is deteriorating more every year. "We've had other developers look at this site and walk away because of the hurdles that need to be addressed," he said.
KOZ is "an inducement, an incentive" to potential buyers interested in redeveloping a property, said McCarthy.
Collins said the PILOT agreements with the county and school district will remain in effect even if Milosev and Himmelrich would sell the property to another developer after it wins the state's KOZ designation.
Pennsylvania's KOZ program is designed to improve long-neglected properties, create jobs and ultimately increase tax revenues, improving the financial health of the community.
Michael Hefele, Allentown's planning director, said a KOZ designation ultimately results in a significant increase in taxes to the city, county and school district.
Collins estimated taxes could increase by 850 percent after Adelaide Mills would be redeveloped.
A second proposed KOZ
The former Allentown Metal Works, a second proposed Allentown KOZ at 606 S. 10th St., already has been approved by the school board and city council. The county commissioners also will vote on its KOZ status at their Aug. 14 meeting.
That site includes a number of empty factory buildings on more than 17 acres just above Little Lehigh Creek.
That property has been owned by the Allentown Commercial & Industrial Development Authority since April, which means it currently is generating no taxes. Unlike Adelaide Mills, the property will be marketed for another industrial use rather than residential.
ACIDA's intent is to sell the property to a developer and get it back on the tax rolls, said Scott Unger, its executive director. He told commissioners no purchaser has been identified yet.
Unger said it's too early to know if it will be a multi-lot or single-lot industrial development. But he stressed it will be used for manufacturing or some other industry, which could generate up to 300 jobs for city residents.
Unger said 15 environmental conditions, most typical of an old industrial site, must be "characterized and remediated." He told commissioners that includes more than 300 drums of various chemicals, most of them related to painting.

Letters to the editor: Seeger's message rings true today
Kevin Cuneo titles his Feb. 6 column on Pete Seeger in Showcase with a most appropriate question: "Where have all the heroes gone?" (long time passing).
My experience meeting Seeger was at my family's annual visit to the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, Tenn. Following his hour-long performance in a tent holding 800 people, I went up to the stage to meet the man. Everyone else had cleared out to other events. It was just Seeger and me, and we talked for half an hour before he had to go to another engagement. That openness was typical. We talked about Meadville and Erie and other places he had been. He autographed my guitar, which I had carried around throughout the festival.
Regarding Cuneo's title question, many of the songs Seeger wrote or sang belong in a category beside Martin Luther King's "Letter From Birmingham Jail." Fellow clergymen had written him asking how he could justify his being in jail, a social disobedience that they deemed "unwise and untimely." King's reply could be summed up with a reversal of the question: How could they justify not being in jail with him.
Likewise, Cuneo's title question echoes. Compare the music and message of Seeger's folk style with the marketed music the media offers now. Where are you, O Troubadours of Truth? The wrecking ball of authentic social justice has been stolen by libido marketing false profits. How can you justify American pop music? Where have the heroes gone? Heroes of social justice are with us. I have heard them, know some. They may not be popular, but they are glorious. You cannot kill their truth. My advice: If you can't lick 'em, join 'em.

Roar lineup
doesn't impress
LOL, hahaha, big gaffaw, and a big groan. That's the best they could get for Roar on the Shore -- an old washed-up heavy metal singer, Dee Snider, from an old washed-up heavy metal band named Twisted Sister from the '80s, and a made-up star, Danny "The Count" Koker, a la "Pawn Stars" and "American Restoration" ("Headliners for Roar unveiled," Erie Times-News, Feb. 6).
Koker was cited in 2013 at Erie International Airport for "Boohoo boohoo." He got mad because his luggage wasn't "Johnny on the spot" for him. "I'm a big time star." What a joke.
As soon as I read the lineup, I just laughed my head off. I'm sure the rest of the biker world, and all of us posers will go wildly insane when we get to see them. Ho-hum.
Jim TanseyErie
were disturbing
Lately, we have seen what seems to be an endless series of stories related to the Regional Center for Workforce Excellence and the Workforce Investment Board. The tale of complicated financial goings-on at RCWE was disturbing.
This is important because thousands of taxpayer dollars have been wasted as a result of the shenanigans of RCWE under the leadership of former Chief Executive Michele Zieziula and some leading members of the WIB executive board.
The state audit findings of wasteful spending and overall mismanagement were determined by a qualified team of unbiased state auditors, including CPAs. Some individuals suggested that the audit was "political" and biased against Erie County. Not true. The audit was requested in 2011 by various local officials representing both Erie and the rural counties and both political parties. The audit was requested because of reports from numerous complaints, and the WIB was ignoring these complaints.
The concerns of mismanagement proved to be correct with the resulting 51-page audit report. The report is clear and scathing in its findings of mismanagement and squandering of taxpayer funds. It is not just nitpicky procedural issues as some would suggest.
The Erie Times-News reported $227,476 that needs to be repaid, while the auditors identified $6 million (of a total budget of $12 million) of questionable spending ("Agency weighs options," Erie Times-News, Dec. 22). Included were numerous potential conflict-of-interest items of concern with various WIB board members.
This organization has become the epitome of what a nonprofit should not be. The RCWE building purchase was a bad decision that continues to be a money pit for taxpayers. When you hear individuals defending the leadership and management of RCWE, I suggest you consider the source. Perhaps they were involved in the bad decisions.
After the CEO and others have left, now more money will go toward helping employers and job seekers in our community rather than toward supporting poor business practices and wasteful spending habits.

facts challenged
Robert Kocher made some questionable statements regarding President Barack Obama ("Obama bashing not fact-based," Erie Times-News, Feb. 2).
Like Jay Carney, Obama's press secretary, Kocher said it's fact so it just must be. Let's start with his statement that 9 million people now have insurance because of Obamacare. What is his source? Gallup has reported that fewer people now have insurance than in 2009. That's a reputable source, not a Jay Carney fabrication.
Next is the Benghazi scandal. He quotes a Senate report stating that Chris Stevens rejected additional military security. This is from a report to a newspaper from the general who supposedly offered the help. It's on record that Stevens asked for additional security from the State Department through cable.
IRS scandal. Kocher says liberal groups were also targeted. That's the one true thing he said. The only problem was 100 percent of the targeted liberal groups were approved, and only 46 percent of conservative groups won approval. There's a problem there.
Fast and Furious. Politifact has stated that particular program did not start under George W. Bush, but Bush had programs like it. That doesn't make it right.
I agree with Kocher about the executive orders, but it's clear that people like Kocher need to spend more time checking into their facts before they write to the paper.
Matthew PlatzErie
Editor's note: According to Factcheck.org and politico.com, the 9 million number includes 3 million who have signed up through federal or state insurance marketplaces and 6 million deemed eligible for Medicaid and C.H.I.P. since October. The Senate Benghazi report found that Stevens did ask the State Department for increased security at times but had relied on Libyan security. In August 2012, with the situation trending negatively, Gen. Carter F. Ham, then the commander of the United States Africa Command, called Stevens to ask if the embassy in Tripoli needed additional military personnel, potentially for use in Benghazi, "but Stevens told Ham it did not," the report said.

Planning for a Safer Future
Monterey County, in coordination with all of its incorporated municipalities, is preparing a comprehensive update to its Multi- Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan. The plan, which was initially developed and adopted in 2007, is intended to identify local policies and actions to reduce the risk and future losses from natural hazards such as flooding, severe storms, earthquakes, and wildland fires. The plan also serves to meet key federal planning regulations which require local governments to develop a hazard mitigation plan as a condition for receiving certain types of non-emergency disaster assistance, including funding for hazard mitigation projects.
The 2013-2014 plan update process is being led by Monterey County's Office of Emergency Services, with technical assistance from AECOM, and through a collaborative partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and National Association of Counties (NACo). The process includes an update to all elements in the existing plan to better reflect current conditions, along with the incorporation of new information to help address the potential long-term effects of climate change and sea level rise. The plan update is being guided by a multi-jurisdictional planning team that includes representation from participating communities and other key stakeholders, and will be informed through a sustained public outreach and engagement strategy. The plan update is scheduled to be completed by June 2014.
In support of this effort, Monterey County has been designated a national pilot community for incorporating the data and tools available through NOAA's Digital Coast into local hazard mitigation planning. The Digital Coast is a web-based platform designed to address the needs of local communities and other organizations that manage the nation's coastal resources. As part of this project Monterey County will leverage the data, tools, and training made available through Digital Coast in all aspects of the hazard mitigation plan update.
Upon completion, the plan will serve as a new road map to planning for a safer future in Monterey County.
This includes:
For all inquiries or comments, please contact Sherrie Collins, Emergency Services Manager, at (831) 796-1901 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Additional information and regular updates through the duration of the project will be posted here as available.
The Steering Committee is tasked with guiding the overall plan update process. Any final decisions or recommendations on the plan update will be made by the Steering Committee based on general consensus. If consensus cannot be reached or is in question, the matter will be voted on by Steering Committee Leads (majority rules). Steering Committee Leads are required to attend all Planning Team meetings, provide guidance and leadership when called upon, and act as a primary point of contact (Local Jurisdiction Lead) for the jurisdiction they are representing. Each Local Jurisdiction Lead is responsible for coordinating with other local staff from their jurisdiction at various points throughout the plan update process. This includes coordinating logistics for Individual Jurisdiction Meetings with AECOM, assisting with data collection and information sharing in support of plan updates, assisting with public outreach and stakeholder engagement efforts, updating and developing community-specific mitigation action plans in coordination with other local staff, reviewing and commenting on draft plan materials, and coordinating local plan adoption procedures. -

Nothing wrong with RIM, says CEO Heins
For several years, even as the Blackberry lost market share, RIM could claim with a straight face that nothing was wrong because revenues and unit volume were still growing. That is no longer the case, so comments from RIM's CEO that everything's OK have people saying, "WTF!"
Reuters is reporting comments from Research in Motion chief Thorsten Heins that his company is, all things considered, in good shape.
"There's nothing wrong with the company as it exists right now," Heins said in a Toronto radio interview. "I'm not talking about the company as I, kind of, took it over six months ago. I'm talking about the company (in the) state it's in right now."
Heins added, "This company is not ignoring the world out there, nor is it in a death spiral."
He does go on to say that RIM faces difficult challenges, but…
Dude, WTF?!?
