« Twins Looking To Avoid Arb With Guerrier | Main | Manny Ramirez Rumors: Tuesday »
Royals Avoid Arb With Brian Bannister
Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Royals have agreed to terms with Brain Bannister on a one-year, $1.7MM contract.
Bannister can earn another $25K if he reaches 200 innings or makes the All-Star team. The 27-year-old right-hander asked for $2MM when arbitration figures were due and the Royals countered with $1.45MM. It seems they've found a middle ground. Bannister went 9-16 last season with a 5.76 ERA.

Galjart, Netherlands Made in Netherlands, Europec. 1639 Judith Leyster, Dutch (active Haarlem and Amsterdam), 1609 - 1660 Oil on canvas * Gallery 264, European Art 1500-1850, second floor Cat. 440 John G. Johnson Collection, 1917 |
LabelThe costume that the standing figure wears over his clothes suggests that the setting is vastenavond, the night before the beginning of Lent, when people frequently went on binges in order to prepare themselves for fasting and abstinence. This painting speculates on the consequences of such overindulgence. In their dissipated state, the gay cavalier and his companion ignore the menacing presence of the skeleton, which bears an ominous hourglass in one bony hand and a skull in the other.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |

Ford launches Figo hatch.
Ford launched its entry level Figo hatch in New Delhi on March 9 with ultra-competitive pricing of Rs 3.49 lakh for the base 1.2-litre petrol version and Rs 4.47 lakh for the base 1.4-litre diesel variant.
The Figo will be available in four different trim levels – LXi, EXi, ZXi and Titanium. It will compete in the B-segment against models like the Chevrolet Beat, Volkswagen Polo and Maruti Swift among others.
Ford is clearly going all out to grab B-segment buyers with this very competitive pricing for the Figo. In fact, the company was believed to have been waiting for the launch of the Chevrolet Beat and VW Polo before finalising the prices for the Figo.
Clearly, Ford is keen to establish its new hatchback as the industry benchmark in terms of value for money. "Our dealers are excited, customers are waiting and the new Figo is now ready to hit the street," said Joe Hinrichs, president of Ford Asia, Pacific and Africa. "From the start we wanted to offer all the features of a B-segment car at a sub-B price. We've accomplished that with the Figo."
"We have kept our promise and priced all four Figo models very competitively to emphasise Ford's commitment to this huge segment of the growing Indian automobile market," said Michael Boneham, president and MD of Ford India. "We are committed to setting new benchmarks with the Figo in this segment. It offers more features, interior space, technology and durability than other vehicles at this price."
Ford is also determined to offer very competitive ownership costs with the Figo by starting with a localisation level of 85 percent, including making the powertrains locally. It is also improving the processes and efficiency of its existing suppliers and passing on the savings to owners in the form of lower spares prices. Another big change was the move away from the 'remove and replace' philosophy that the company used in developed markets like Europe. High labour costs there made it more efficient to change an entire part rather than trying to repair it.
With the Figo, Ford has started providing what it calls 'child parts', or smaller components that can be used to fix a faulty part. In a first for the hatchback segment, Ford will also offer 'skin panels' for the Figo, which means only the outer sheet metal needs changing in case of an accident, not the entire door assembly.
Pricing the Figo.
1.2 Duratec Lxi: Rs 3.49
1.2 Duratec Exi: Rs 3.81
1.2 Duratec Zxi: Rs 3.99
1.2 Duratec Titanium: Rs 4.42
1.4 Duratorq Lxi:Rs 4.47
1.4 Duratorq Exi:Rs 4,72
1.4 Duratorq Zxi:Rs 4.96
1.4 Duratorq Titanium:Rs 5.29

Congressional leaders invited to W.H. on spending cuts deadline day
GOP aide says it's not clear what's on president's agenda
Congressional leaders have been invited to the White House on Friday -- the day forced spending cuts are scheduled to start taking effect, two sources said Wednesday.
But while President Barack Obama was on Capitol Hill Wednesday for a Rosa Parks statue unveiling, he met with congressional leaders for a brief, minute-long meeting.
Asked by CNN if the discussion led to anything, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid suggested it was just a quick huddle. When pressed on if he was surprised the White House meeting was scheduled for Friday, the Nevada Democrat gave a big smile and said, "Nothing surprises me anymore."
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, meanwhile, said the meeting before the ceremony was brief.
"We just came together and talked about looking forward to getting together on Friday," she said.
Pelosi also downplayed the timing of the White House meeting saying, "I have no idea, I guess it's just a scheduling thing. "
A GOP aide told CNN that Republicans do not anticipate the meeting to be anything more than optics--an effort, the aide said, by Obama to show he is at least talking to Congress on the day the cuts are supposed to kick in.
But the aide added it wasn't clear what was on the president's agenda.
By the time Obama meets with the leaders, the cuts--$85 billion worth over the next seven months--could have already started to take place. It all depends on when Obama issues an order to let them begin. He has until 11:59 p.m. ET on Friday to issue the order, according to an official with the Office of Management and Budget.
A senior congressional Republican chided Obama for the timing of the meeting.
"Either someone needs to buy the White House a calendar, or this is just a -- belated -- farce," the Republican said. "They ought to at least pretend to try."
And Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement, saying "The meeting Friday is an opportunity for us to visit with the President about how we can all keep our commitment to reduce Washington spending."
He continued: "With a $16.6 trillion national debt, and a promise to the American people to address it, one thing is perfectly clear: we will cut Washington spending. We can either secure those reductions more intelligently, or we can do it the President's way with across-the board cuts. But one thing Americans simply will not accept is another tax increase to replace spending reductions we already agreed to."
Reid, however, took to the Senate floor earlier Wednesday to "make sure everyone understands this is not President Obama's sequester."
"Congress has the power to (a)void these self-inflicted wounds," he added. "But Democrats can't do it alone. Republicans have to do their part. Compromise is never easy but surely it is better than doing nothing at all."

Greenopia Information
Gay Browne - Founder of Greenopia Phone: (805) 969-0985 Email: email@example.com "I want to help people lead healthier lives in an increasingly toxic world," says Gay Browne, creator of Greenopia. A lifelong asthmatic, Gay began her green journey with her search for ways to improve her living environment to take better care of herself and her children. She started from the inside out, choosing all natural alternatives for everything from nutritional habits to bed sheets. In 1994, Gay built the first green home in Los Angeles' Pacific Palisades. In her experience with researching and working with green home developers, interior designers and furniture dealers, she realized that there was a wealth of green options, but no simple resource to find them. In response, Gay developed Greenopia to provide a resource to help people like herself make choices to green their lives on a daily basis.
Founded in 2005, Greenopia has developed guides for Los Angeles, the San Francisco Bay Area, and New York City with plans underway for a 20-city rollout that includes Chicago, Denver, Seattle and Portland, among others. Greenopia's web presence creates a local green community where consumers can browse Greenopia's listings
"I really want to convince consumers and their families that these businesses can help them make a smooth transition to green living," Gay says. "It doesn't have to be all or nothing. Even small changes make a big difference."
Before launching Greenopia, Gay enjoyed a successful 15-year career in advertising and public relations with various publishing companies including American Express Publishing and Times Mirror.
Gay currently resides in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband, three children and three dogs. She continues to make her home as environmentally safe as possible without sacrificing quality, aesthetics or efficiency. |

A poll released Wednesday showed a majority of American voters think the Boy Scouts of America should lift their ban on gay Scouts and scoutmasters, the same day the group delayed a vote on the ban until May.
The Quinnipiac University survey indicated 55 percent of respondents said the ban should end, and 33 percent said it should remain in place. There was a gap among man and women in the poll -- 61 percent of women supported allowing gay members, while 49 percent of men supported such a move.
Differences also emerged among religious affiliation. White Catholics supported ending the ban 63 percent-25 percent, while white evangelical Protestants said the ban should stand, 56 percent-33 percent.
"Now that the Armed Forces ban on openly gay service members has been lifted, and polls show increasing acceptance of same-sex marriage, most American voters think it's time to open up the Boy Scouts too," Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute, said of the poll.
Quinnipiac's survey also showed a dip in the percentage of Americans who participate in scouting programs. While 54 percent of the voters surveyed said they were in the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts, only 36 percent said their children participated.
The Boy Scouts executive board was slated to vote on lifting the ban Wednesday, but delayed the decision, saying it needed more time to get input from its members. The full national council, which numbers more than 1,400, will vote on lifting the ban in May.
The issue has sparked an array of organizations to voice their opinions, with some conservative groups worried that allowing gays would erode the Boy Scouts' moral message, and gay rights groups saying the ban amounts to discrimination.
The Quinnipiac University poll was conducted from 1,772 registered voters nationwide by telephone from Jan. 30 to Feb. 4. The sampling error was plus or minus 2.3 percentage points.

The jobs numbers were 171,000 and 7.9%. Let there be an election. Let the people decide if this is right! So our socioeconomic election coverage comes to an end with the markets making a bounce attempt and President Obama recovering some lost ground. This race has become too close to call, and amid the chaos of the storm I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to see a repeat of the 2000 election where we don't get a winner for days or weeks.
Thankfully, this is an era that has come to an end. The worst part of this fiasco is a Congress that totally obstructed a president's agenda and a president who put his own legacy before the will of the American people. Barack Obama created the Tea Party, and it was the Tea Party that created the debt ceiling debacle that was so ruinous to the country.
By his own admission, the President stated that he didn't care if he became a one-term President if it meant getting Obamacare passed into law. He pursued the health care issue even as his staunchest and most senior advisors told him to forget it.
Never in my life have I seen such opposition to such an important piece of legislation that was not passed with the vast majority of the American people. This is the legacy of the last 2 years. 2012 was a total waste of time while millions of people struggle along to put their lives back together in the wake of the greatest run of greed in the history of the world. That's what the financial crisis was. I'm not going to get started on this tangent but the years 2002-07 should be remembered as a time of going for the short cut, doing things the easy way to creep out of a recession and instead things got out of hand when people, institutions and regulators lost of all sense of reality. Had we attempted to rebuild the infrastructure of our cities, especially in the Northeast when we had the money we certainly would not be dealing with a massive debt load. Our cities in the Northeast are so old and need of repair. We missed a golden opportunity to take care of it after the Internet bubble bear ended.
Unfortunately, New York is now not only forced to rebuild, they must think way out of the box to consider building sea walls to protect lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. How much is that going to cost? Supposedly this was the 100 or even 1000 year storm. But who can guarantee it won't happen again next year?
They don't have the money. I read in yesterday's paper the original plans by Army Corp of Engineers for a safeguard project for the low lying areas of Staten Island were developed in 1965! Due to complacency and more urgent needs NYC never followed up on those plans.
When I was there last year for the aborted hurricane, the big story was the increase in tolls over the next few years to cross the bridges and tunnels to get into New York City every day. The good folks of New Jersey would pay roughly $12 per day (approximately) to either use a tunnel or cross a bridge to work in the city. These tolls are systematically increasing to 15-17 over the next several years to pay for all the infrastructure work needed to keep the bridges and tunnels from falling apart. This was before any thought of a storm. Now the estimates to put the NY metro region back together again is $50 billion and Wall Street people think it will be double that. Where are they going to get the money to do it? Are they going to raise taxes? They can't do that because New York is already the highest taxed place in the country. Are they going to increase the tolls? They've already stretched people to the limit of what they can pay. I want to say that New York is going to come back from all of this and they will but there will likely be another exodus of people out who just can't afford to live there. New York will make it collectively, but individually that is not likely to be the case.
The Federal government will come in with FEMA money to put people back on their feet and help them rebuild their homes. But what about the businesses who were lost in this disaster? I'm thinking of the sandwich shop down the street from the NYSE who has been there for 20 years but the water destroyed the entire inventory. What will these people do? They don't have insurance for that. It's been speculated there are hundreds if not thousands of these small mom and pop type businesses who may shutter forever as a result of this storm.
So we have an election and a disaster. Markets took somewhat of a beating on Friday that leaves them near the lows achieved last week at this time. It ought to give Romney one final boost heading into the big day. But at the end of the day, the stock market correction of October 2011 wiped away the incumbent's lead. I just hope that no matter who wins, Washington gets to the serious business of leadership in the next session of Congress because we need it and both parties are equally to blame. Congress and the President needed to find it within themselves to do things for the good of the country as opposed to personal political gain.
I have to continue on the story of the week and probably the story of the year. If there was one thing that could put the most important election in our lifetime off the headline, this was it. From a social mood perspective I think there is a link between the greed over the years on Wall Street and concept they could still have a marathon this weekend. The idea they could stage an event like that while people are suffering the way they are is reprehensible. They came to their senses proving old ways die hard. The Sunday papers reported that badly needed generators from the event were still sitting idly by while thousands of people remained without power. We all realize the economic impact of the NYC Marathon to the community but the minute that storm was over and they realized what happened every possible generator should have been put in a position to help people. Real leadership gets in front of problem, not lag behind. The Mayor has been mostly good to this point over his tenure but this was a bad miss.
OK, for now this storm hits GDP for up to half a percent which is something this economy cannot afford. Better hope that Christmas season which is just about upon is very merry this year.
Next page: Considering the Vix
What I can't understand is how the VIX dropped down this week. It's beyond my comprehension. Traders have to be shell shocked into denial to allow any complacency into their thinking. But that's what happened. I originally told clients Tuesday night I thought we'd get a retest of the low even as Europe looked higher and the Greenback got slammed. I said this even as they came back on Wednesday and took the market up. Thursday was wonderful, as they say but the VIX was way too low to sustain. I'm not a fundamentals guy and I'm gauging the low based on the idea that you can't have a good bottom based on the earnings reports from 2 stocks (AMZN and AAPL) without the requisite fear levels. This storm came so hard and fast it didn't even allow the media to whip up the fear that we could have a decent retest of the low and bottom it out on storm fears. So now if you look at it from the fundamental view (which I rarely do), nobody saw THIS coming and so it was not baked into the cake. We needed a retest of last week's low. Now we have it. Fear levels are still not high enough to give us a good trading bottom. But we are going to move on from this as next week the headlines will be the election. What does the market do?
I am not in the camp that it likes Romney and not Obama as I've heard other forecasters suggest. Right now we are in a confirmed downtrend. That's the most important thing you take from this election. Whether the election results give us a double bottom or a better bottom is entirely possible as we are within the time window of the NASDAQ turn on October 31, 2007. The market rallied most of the time Obama was in office so to think it can't rally if he wins is hogwash. From what I've seen, I don't think the market cares too much for Obamacare but if O does win and the market has a wipeout on real fear the headlines might blame it on health care issues but then life will go on. At some point the market is going to like the recovery from this storm to realize that down the road stocks that have anything to do with rebuilding are going to do well and ultimately it will be a job creator. But that will take some time and perhaps not really kick in until the first quarter of next year. Since it is November we have to think in terms of the Santa Claus rally and that could be a major theme.

Friday last day to register for March special elections |
Thursday, 04 February 2010 19:10 | |||
Friday, Feb. 5, is the last day to apply for voter registration in order to be eligible to vote in the March 2, special county and special Goodland School election, Choctaw County Election Board Secretary Darlene Rickman said. Rickman said that persons who are United States Citizens, residents of Oklahoma, and at least 18 years old may apply to become registered voters. Persons who have never been registered to vote before or who are not currently registered in the county of their residence and persons who are registered but who need to change their registration information may apply by filling out and mailing an Oklahoma voter registration application form in time for it to be postmarked no later than midnight Friday, Feb. 5. Rickman said that applications postmarked after that time still will be accepted and processed, but the applications will not be approved until after March 2. The County Election Board responds in writing to every person who submits an application for voter registration. Rickman said that any person who has submitted a voter registration application and who has not received a response within 30 days should contact the County Election Board office. Oklahoma voter registration application forms are available at the County Election Board office located at 300 E. Duke, Hugo, and at most post offices, tag agencies and public libraries in the county. Rickman said that applications are also available on the Internet at www. elections.state.ok.us.
