Tying up football recruiting loose ends in Arizona: Tucker, Mike last of top 10 to commit
The big game in Tempe will be exciting for Chandler Hamilton offensive tackle Casey Tucker, who has Arizona State and Stanford as his top two colleges on his wish list. But the 6-foot-6, 280-pound senior, rated No.4 by azcentral sports among the top 150 football recruits in the 2014 class, said the outcome won't be a deciding factor on where he goes. It will all come down to where he feels most comfortable. He has already visited both schools. There will be two things that could sway Tucker either way: - If he is accepted into Stanford academically, that might be too big a thing for him to pass up on. A work resume with a Stanford degree gets you places. - The Christian Westerman factor. Westerman was the big, five-star recruit whom Tucker followed at Hamilton. Westerman got caught up in the big SEC image and signed with Auburn, before finding out there is no place like home, reversed field, and is now running scout team for the Sun Devils this season, until he becomes eligible next season. Westerman has been working just as hard trying to persuade Tucker to follow his lead to Tempe. In Tucson, Arizona is hoping to get a commitment from home-town tackle Andrew Mike, a 6-foot-7, 295-pound Sabino senior who has UA among his top three. He says he will take a recruiting trip to Vanderbilt in January. "I want to see what the atmosphere is like there," he says. "That will be huge." Mike, rated No.8 in the 2014 class by azcentral sports, also has Washington among his top three. Washington has a commitment from Phoenix Mountain Pointe offensive guard Natrell Curtis, who tweeted out that Boise State was one of the first schools to offer him a scholarship during his sophomore year. "I'm waiting to see what happens there (with the coaching job)," Mike said before it was being reported that Chris Petersen is leaving Boise State to become Washington's coach. That could tip the scales some. But who knows? His dad went to UA, but Mike is a kid who will know when he is there whether this is the place for him. "Family, atmosphere, a home feel and a school I'll feel proud to play for," Mike says will all factor into his decision. Follow me on Twitter
Brophy Prep baseball coaching legend Tom Succow entering National HS Hall of Fame
Phoenix Brophy Prep baseball coach Tom Succow is being inducted into the National High School Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame on Friday in Tucson during a ceremony. He is among three coaches being inducted. Succow has led Brophy's baseball program for the past 37 seasons. He has been at the school as a teacher and counselor for 39 years. Brophy has won more than 600 games and reached the state championship game four times, winning it in 2006, under Succow's watch. Brophy's most recent trip to the final came in 2012. Succow has produced eight professional baseball players in the past six year. He has served on USA Baseball National team coaching staff five times. He was head coach of the 2004 Under-16 team and led the Under 14 team in 2006 and '07. In 2007, Succow was honored as the National Coach of the Year by the American Baseball Coaches Association. He is a member of the Arizona Baseball Coaches Hall of Fame. In 2007, Brophy inducted Succow into its Sports Hall of Fame.
Saguaro QB Luke Rubenzer awarded Gatorade Arizona Football POY
Accolades are pouring in for Scottsdale Saguaro quarterback Luke Rubenzer as rapidly as the touchdown passes the senior distributed in his remarkable season. The California-commit was named the Gatorade Arizona Football Player of the Year, after he led Saguaro to the Division III championship, throwing a state-record 61 touchdown passes and completing 74 percent of his tosses. Luke Rubenzer posing with Johnny Manziel last summer at The Opening Rubenzer, 6 feet, 190 pounds, set a national record for all-time completion percentage at 72. He also holds state records for career passing yardage (9,645) and career TD passes (130). Rubenzer, an honors student, has a chance at the Gatorade National POY, which will be announced later this year. "I'm extremely proud of Luke for everything he has accomplished both on and off the field in his four years here at Saguaro," coach Jason Mohns said. "To win this award among all of the other talented and deserving players in the 2014 class is quite an accomplishment and we are very grateful to Gatorade for this amazing honor." Rubenzer, who received his second Pac-12 offer this week from UCLA, completed 496 of 661 passes in his varsity career. He was 227 of 308 this season for 4,241 yards. He had 5,493 total yards this season. He finished with 12,444 career total yards. He tied an 11-man state record with nine TD passes in a semifinal win over top-ranked Goodyear Desert Edge this season. Follow me on Twitter
UCLA making a late push for Saguaro QB Luke Rubenzer
After putting up state records, including a national record for all-time completion percentage (72), Scottsdale Saguaro senior quarterback Luke Rubenzer has found another Pac-12 suitor. UCLA offered the dual threat on Wednesday, according to Saguaro coach Jason Mohns. UCLA might be too late for this. Rubenzer quickly committed to California last summer when the Golden Bears became the first Pac-12 school to offer him a football scholarship. Cal's offense suits Rubenzer, who ran basically the same system in high school under Mohns. Cal isn't going to risk losing Rubenzer now to another Pac-12 school that only offered after Rubenzer threw a state-record 61 touchdown passes and for more than 4,200 yards, leading his team to the Division III championship. That is why Cal is sending offensive coordinator Tony Franklin to Saguaro on Friday to visit Rubenzer. The rap on Rubenzer was his height, and that is why most major colleges never went after him, until Cal did last summer. But he has proven doubters wrong every step of the way in his career. UCLA may look good on the surface with quarterback Brett Hundley likely done after this season, headed to the NFL. But Rubenzer is a loyal guy and it would probably take California parting with coach Sonny Dykes for Rubenzer to change his commitment by February's Letter of Intent Day. Follow me on Twitter
Rolando Rhymes' late layup lifts Desert Mountain over Chaparral in packed gym
Instead of calling time out after Scottsdale Chaparral tied the score with 18 seconds left, Scottsdale Desert Mountain coach Kurt Keener let his point guard take the inbounds pass and do his thing. Senior Rolando Rhymes dribbled past everybody for a layup with five seconds left and a 63-61 Division I boys basketball victory Tuesday night inside Desert Mountain's packed gym. It was so loud and, with the clock still running, students stormed the court. But Chaparral had called a time out to set up a play. "I had visions of Munich '72 when they put time back on the clock," Keener said. The five seconds gave Chaparral time to set up a good look at the basket, but guard Andrew Croft's 3-point attempt as time expired was off the mark, and the students once again stormed the court. This was Keener's first look at an intense Arizona basketball rivalry. He moved here from Michigan, where he won nine state titles as a head coach. "I had heard stories about it," Keener said. "I give credit to Chaparral. They ran a good play at the end. Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good." Chaparral (2-2) forced a halfcourt game against a Desert Mountain team that prefers a fast tempo. Rhymes was held to 13 points. Ailing, Rhymes called timeout in the second quarter to take himself out of the game. But he was clutch when Desert Mountain needed him most. After Brandon Hoffer tied the score at 61-61 with a 3-pointer, Rhymes took off with the ball and found a seam in the middle of the lane. "I knew I would probably never get this opportunity again," Rhymes said. "We worked too hard to let this one get away." Desert Mountain (2-2) got a big lift in the final quarter from guard Will Goff, who had eight of his 18 points. Goff's steal and layup and 3-pointer gave Desert Mountain a 57-54 lead with two minutes left. Chaparral was led by junior guard Kenzo Nudo, who had 12 of his 15 points in the third quarter when he kept his team in the game. "It's tough when you got guys going hard to the basket and they've got those stationary shooters, about five or six of them, who can knock it in," Keener said. "We had played close games where we didn't find a way to win. "There's really only two guys with a lot of experience." Remy Smith returned Tuesday and made a couple of big baskets for Desert Mountain. Follow me on Twitter
Mountain Pointe proved it wasn't playing 2nd fiddle to anyone this football season
When Chandler Hamilton wasn't able to make it work in its schedule to play Las Vegas Bishop Gorman in the annual Sollenberger game in August,the Arizona Interscholastic Association asked Phoenix Mountain Pointe. Mountain Pointe proved it wasn't going to be someone's next best choice. It already knew it was the best choice to represent Arizona in Nevada against one of the nation's powerhouses. Little did Bishop Gorman realize that Mountain Pointe was a much better team than Hamilton, and it showed in a 28-21 upset of the Gaels on their home turf. Nobody beats Bishop Gorman at Bishop Gorman. But Mountain Pointe was special. Mountain Pointe WR Jalen Brown had another huge season There was never a letdown as it went 14-0 and cruised to the school's first state football championship, dominating Hamilton twice, including a 42-19 rout in the Division I final at University of Phoenix Stadium. It was only the first for the Ahwatukee school, but the first football title for coach Norris Vaughan, who coached 20 years in Georgia, winning titles in other sports but never football, his biggest love. "It's football," said Vaughan, who won titles in basketball and baseball in Georgia. "Everything compared to football is second. I love them all, but football is different." Last year's team came close to winning it all. It started the season with a 17-14 win over Hamilton. It was the first time Mountain Pointe had even beaten Hamilton in football. But it closed the season with a 31-16 loss to Hamilton in the state championship game. Mountain Pointe returned many of those key players, including receiver/defensive back Jalen Brown, quarterback Antonio Hinojosa, offensive lineman Natrell Curtis, and linebacker Wesley Payne. Payne became the go-to running back this season, along with the main pulse of a defense that was among the best in Arizona history. Brown had another stellar year catching the ball. He finished with a state-record 50 touchdown catches in his career. Paynre was a battering ram back, finding holes behind a great line, led by Curtis, who has committed to Washington for college football. Hinojosa had a tremendous championship game, completing 10 of 15 passes for 250 yards and a touchdown. He also ran for a score. Payne even threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Brown on a halfback option play that jump-started the offense in the first half. "We don't care who catches or who runs it," Vaughan said. "I'm happy for our team. That's what we are, a team." Asked how his first football title felt, Vaughan, after getting doused with ice water from his players, said, "It feels cold and wet." "Football is special," he added. "It's football." Follow me on Twitter
With do-everything Christian Kirk, it's hard to ignore the comparisons to former Saguaro star D.J. Foster
After a breakout freshman football season at Scottsdale Saguaro, the comparison soon began. Would Christian Kirk be the school's next D.J. Foster? Then Saguaro head coach John Sanders and, at the time, offensive coordinator Jason Mohns, were already saying he was ahead of Foster at the same age. That winter he got his first two scholarship offers -- from UCLA and Arizona State. Kirk, who just completed his junior season, appears ready to be everything the player Foster was as a senior next season after showing what he can do at tailback in last week's Division III championship game at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Kirk, who was Saguaro's leading receiver on its 2011 state championship team as a freshman and played mostly receiver, stepped in at tailback in the final game this season. He ran for 162 yards and two touchdowns, including a 54-yarder, on 18 carries in a 47-25 victory over Queen Creek. Kirk also caught five passes for 101 yards and two more TDs. "Towards the end of the season, the coaches were getting the ball in my hands," said the 5-foot-10, 190-pound Kirk, who ran for 676 yards and 11 TDs on 59 carries and caught 61 passes for 1,082 yards and 15 scores. "I did whatever I could." Running back is Kirk's natural position. He played it during his youth until he got to high school. As a freshman, the tailback spot was already taken by Foster, now an emerging star at Arizona State. Foster set state records and was the state's Player of the Year his senior year when Kirk was a freshman. Kirk was so good even then that he started at receiver. He ended up catching 34 passes for 589 yards and six TDs. Last year, Kirk caught 43 passes for 1,003 yards and 12 TDs, and averaged 16 yards a carry, rushing 10 times for 166 yards and three TDs. "We wanted to put the ball in our dude's hand and he's our dude," Mohns, now the head coach, said about Kirk. Queen Creek tried to take away Saguaro's quick passing game, so Mohns had senior quarterback Luke Rubenzer and Kirk read the defenses with emphasis on the run; Rubenzer still managed to throw for 246 yards and three touchdowns, giving him a season state record 61 on the season. Rubenzer also ran 14 times for 81 yards. "We had to run the ball," Mohns said. "That is what we were forced to do. If we are going to run the b all, we're going to run with our main guys. Luke and Christian ran the zone reads." Kirk was only getting about five to six touches a game until late in the season when Saguaro started to go to him more. In a 55-28 victory over Gilbert Higley, Kirk ran six times for 108 yards and three TDs. The following week, in a 46-36 win over Tempe Marcos de Niza, Kirk ran seven times for 232 yards and two TDs. "We really tried to keep him under wraps all year as far as numbers were concerned," Mohns said. "But this was it. There were no other games. We let him loose in the state championship game." Kirk, who has offers from the likes of Southern California, ASU, Texas and Notre Dame, said he is looking forward to his senior season. He said Foster gives him advice from time to time, but Kirk doesn't see himself as the next D.J. Foster. "I'm just trying to make a name for myself," he said. "D.J. is a great role model. He says, 'Keep being a great person, keeping being you, and I'll be with you during the whole ride.' '' Follow me on Twitter
Top boys basketball games this week
TONIGHT: What a difference a player makes. Phoenix South Mountain, 4-23 last season, is off to a 3-1 start, thanks to 6-foot-7 senior forward Zylan Cheatham being cleared to play by the Arizona Intersholastic Association after spending last season on Phoenix Westwind Prep's national high school team. Cheatham had 31 points, before fouling out in the final minute of South Mountain's 55-54 loss to host Sierra Vista Buena in the final of the Safeway Thanksgiving tournament. South Mountain plays at upstart Phoenix Trevor Browne tonight in a Division II game. Trevor Browne is off to a 4-0 starter with point guard Miguel Bustos leading the Bruins to Glendale Independence's tournament championship. Bustos was named MVP of the tourney. The Bruins won a total of five games last season. TUESDAY: - Scottsdale Chaparral (2-1) plays at Scottsdale Desert Mountain (1-2). This is a great rivalry that should bring out a lot of students. Chaparral has a very good perimeter shooting team led by Kenzo Nudo and Brandon Hoffer. Desert Mountain still is adjusting without big man Mark Andrews, who is not playing basketball his senior year. Desert Mountain relies on the outside shooting and the penetration of lead guard Rolando Rhymes. - Scottsdale Christian Academy opens its season at Paradise Valley, which went 3-1 in its tournament last week. Scottsdale Christian was a Division III final four team last year that may be better this season with key players back. - Gilbert Highland (3-1) at Gilbert Christian, which is playing its opener. Gilbert Christian was the state champion in Division III last. With top players Roberto Reyes and Sam Jones back, it is expected to make a smooth transition. But it wasn't able to beat Division I heavyweights Tempe Corona del Sol and Phoenix Pinnacle in last year's VistMesa.com showcase at Mountain View. Here is Gilbert Christian's chance to make a statement against a pretty decent Division I team led by BYU-signee Jake Toolson. THURSDAY: - Winslow (1-0) plays Snowflake at 12:45 in the Sedona Red Rock tournament. Snowflake reached the Division III semifinals last season. Winslow reached the Division III quarterfinals. Winslow entered the top 10 in Division III this week after last week's 57-41 win over a good Page team. FRIDAY: - Gilbert Perry (4-0) plays at South Mountain. Perry entered the Division I rankings for the first time this week after winning the Paradise Valley Invitational, behind the Howard brothers, senior Jordan and freshman Markus. Markus scored 40 points against Mesa Dobson, letting the state know there is a new gunslinger in town. This will be a solid showdown of Perry's guards (the Jordans) against Big Z in the blocks. - Desert Mountain at Chandler Hamilton (5-0). Hamilton won the Fear The Hop tournament mostly without its top inside player, 6-7 junior James Sosinski, who was preparing for the state football championship game. After Saturday's Division I football final, Sosinski went to Mesa and played in the championship game of the basketball tournament. - Mesa Mountain View at Mesa Red Mountain (3-1). This is an intriguing matchup with Mountain View guard Andy Sessions facing his former team for the first time. Session transferred after his father, Greg Sessions, was let go as the coach. Todd Fazio, who led Desert Mountain to the Division I semifinals last year, so far has done a very nice job in transition at Red Mountain, finding balanced scoring with Braxton Robinson averaging 13 points to lead the way. Mountain View is expected to be much improved with better guard play to take the pressure off big man Payton Dastrup. - Tucson Salpointe Catholic (3-2) at Tempe Marcos de Niza. Marcos didn't play last week. Salpointe hosted its Tip-Off Classic and found it difficult without point guard Cameron Denson, who was having the game of his life in the Division II football final. Denson's return should make Salpointe a different team. But he may need this week to get his basketball legs back. Follow me on Twitter

On average, an AIM MBA student would have read 800 cases while attending the 16-month AIM MBA program. AIM is one of four graduate business schools in the world that uses the case-study approach, aside from Harvard Business School, University of Virginia – Darden Business School, and Richard Ivey School of Business.
In recent years, there has been a growing need to continually develop and publish new studies to keep up with the trends in recent years. Recent movements and new practices in many industries call for effective and innovative methods to teach these concepts in the case rooms. AIM recognizes that visual learning is another effective way to introduce concepts and ideas in the case rooms.
The multimedia case recently to enhance the case study is one such innovation in the case room. Students can now access a special portal where information and references about a certain case study are all available for students' use.

As we all see often, "thats just a benchmark, doesnt relate to the real world of course". It does in some way, but it needs to be specified. I am not sure how many people use which of the various parallel message interfaces between nodes, but it would be good if we could somehow get figures that relate to these packages. I personally am interested in LAM/MPI's performance with Gromacs. For the limited set of jobs I've played with, I've only seem LAM want to use packets of 700-1000 bytes. At that size we're not interested in throughput of course, at least not directly - we're more interested in latency. I am not sure if the netperf numbers for each of the different configurations we've seen in the last few days can predict what the LAM/MPI performance will be for my types of applications or for the myriad of other uses that people may want to put GBE networks to. Is there a way to relate these numbers to LAM/MPI or other parallel meshes that beowulfers use? Is there a standard network benchmark that should be used for LAM? Or are we reduced to running exactly our particular jobs of interest on the exact configuration we'd use in production in order to get relevant stats? Thats not so useful when trying to spec out a new cluster for purchase - being able to relate real world performance to simpler benchmarks would obviously be very useful to all of us. But how to go about doing this? (Do we want to make a standard beowulf-l benchmark package that runs a subset of benchmarks that may shed some light on all the different performance concerns that various factions on this list have? :) /kc > > Tim > > Tim Carlson > Voice: (509) 376 3423 > Email: Tim.Carlson at pnl.gov > EMSL UNIX System Support > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf at beowulf.org > To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf -- Ken Chase, math at velocet.ca * Velocet Communications Inc. * Toronto, CANADA

Christmas started in malls the day after Halloween. I've been bitter about it ever since because I know I'll never be able to afford an aluminum Christmas tree with antique ornaments in my very own house. Puzzle gets litter all over the kitchen floor. It does get old but I don't think I could live without him. I think he's going to wear a big red bow this christmas season. |

Meticulous photography, detailed set design and art direction. A period piece set in 1930's France starring Emmanuelle Devos playing a wife waiting for an end of her husband's lovesickness over her sister. Director Fonteyne takes us through a year marked by changing seasons and growth of a newborn baby. The entire film is Devos. We studying her in longsuffering silence putting up with Gilles' teenage-like angst most often demonstrated in fits of jealous rage or brokenhearted gloom. Perfect acting and beautiful to watch in this unusual story with not much dialogue but lots to study.

HyperparathyroidismWhat is hyperparathyroidism?Hyperparathyroidism is caused by overactive parathyroid glands. Overactive parathyroid glands produce high levels of parathyroid hormones, which, in turn, results in increased levels of calcium in the blood stream. The excess calcium released by the bones leads to osteoporosis and osteomalacia (both bone-weakening diseases). Another result of hyperparathyroidism is kidney stones, because of high levels of calcium excreted into the urine by the kidneys. Hyperparathyroidism is quite rare in children. | |
What causes hyperparathyroidism? | |
Causes of hyperparathyroidism include benign (non-cancerous) tumors on the parathyroid glands or enlargement of the parathyroid glands. | |
What are symptoms of hyperparathyroidism? | |
According to a recent study, children with hyperparathyroidism experience more severe symptoms than adults. The following are the most common symptoms of hyperparathyroidism in children. However, each child may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: | |
| |
The symptoms of hyperparathyroidism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your child's physician for a diagnosis. | |
How is hyperparathyroidism diagnosed? | |
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hyperparathyroidism may include: | |
| |
Treatment for hyperparathyroidism: | |
Specific treatment for hyperparathyroidism will be determined by your child's physician based on: | |
| |
Treatment may include removal of parathyroid tissue. | |

This is excellent news!
This is excellent news!
Slightly off topic question: The original Red One Nikon Mount was made of Aluminum, correct?
Thanks in advance,
Any news on when we will be able to pre order? Really looking forward to this!
I am so looking forward to this mount. Would love to place my pre-order... any word when that might be possible Jarred?
Hey Jared,
Any updates on preordering the Nikon mount? Last I heard was the 90-day estimate which put its release at around July or August. We're itching to get in the queue over here...
Can't wait to pre-order this too.
Curious if there's a reason not to get the aluminum version and save some money. Never understood the difference, besides the material of course. For a 2 pound lens, is there any major difference?
Other than the Material there is no difference. Titanium is less susceptible to heat changes and more rugged (if that's the right term)
If you want the best get the titanium. It will be rock solid for even heavier lenses. If you are on a budget or don't have to rely on your mount in the weirdest weather and heat condition changes : the aluminum is superb in itself. I have the canon al and love it. It's the best canon mount there is! (except for the titanium)
Pre-order begins when? Keep this post hot guys.
I just called to day to show my interest.
Sounds like end of the year.
I want one now tho... :-(

The transition to the new RLS -- the electronic portal through which all REBNY members can view and share listings, enabling them to co-broke - has been years in the planning. The new system replaces an older transmission system maintained by RealPlus -- dubbed R.O.L.E.X. Developed by Katonah, N.Y.-based Stratus Data Systems, the new system conforms to a nationwide industry standard called the Real Estate Transaction Standard, or RETS. Brokers have awaited a RETS-compliant system for years, decrying the fact that New York City has been technologically behind every other metropolitan area in the nation. "Having worked meticulously with each of the RLS vendors on the transition to the new engine for more than a year, participating RLS brokerage firms will now be able to take advantage of a powerful tool to improve their day-to-day business operations and help brokers better serve their clients," REBNY said in a statement to The Real Deal.Its impossible to predict exactly how 300+ brokerage firms with all their data and 9,000+ agents managing listings will perform with a major backend change like this. The transmission engine is basically a huge distribution hub that processes 1,000s of status updates a day throughout the entire brokerage industry so everyone sees the same data at the same time. Updates to this mechanism should help to improve data transmission quality, data completeness, data reliability, and data timeliness; as well as be scalable to plug in new apps/tools in the future. It doesnt change the fact that the data is maintained and edited by brokers ---> so in the end, its up to the brokerage community to step up to the plate and enter as much verified information they can for new listings & update the status of those listings as needed -- certainly update OLD listings that may be incorrectly set! The data will always only be as good as the broker that inputs & maintains it. Now that this major backend change took place, we are all monitoring changes with our data sources. On our end, on Saturday the 21st we saw about 480 new listings come in from firms that we previously didnt have a record for. As instructed we updated our vendor who is now looking into it. The simplest explanation is usually the correct one and in this case what we have are 100s of firms' databases being distributed via a new platform and we should expect the system to have a filtering & purging period, until all bits of information are fully processed. This should be a 1-time thing and it is a healthy thing; so expect the unexpected for another few weeks or so. From what I have seen most of those listings are older listings but a small % are listings that seem active but were somehow missed in the old feed. In the end, more data is a good thing. Here is the ticker showing the jump in 7-day and 30-day ACTIVE trends: And here is a 3 month chart showing Manhattan Supply, where the spike in supply just occurred following the changeover: The UrbanDigs Manhattan tracking systems were engineered with a layer 1 flow algorithm, allowing the system to self correct over time. It's great to have more listing information for units that were on the market in the past for our new tools in development, but the temporary side effect is that we have to wait for those listings to filter through our system and out of current trends like Active Inventory. Right now, I would say supply is about 8% or so inflated. Its great to see our systems so clearly show these discrepancies and such quick reaction by users of the UD tools. But in this case it is not a market phenomenon. Im even hearing brokers starting to complain that they are getting calls for listings that haven't been on the market for many months and years. So its something we should all understand and expect to continue, and adapt to in a month or so when the transition is fully stabilized. At that time we can review any and all discrepancies that occurred and remove poisonous data from our charts via a backward revision. ]]>
The beginning steps by the brokers and the seller attorney tell you plenty of information on how this process will play out!What I mean is, it should take the buyer & seller broker all of 30 minutes to gather all the information needed to draw up a deal sheet. It takes 2 minutes to email this deal sheet to all parties involved in the next steps of the transaction process. Therefore... WARNING SIGN #1: It is taking multiple days to get a deal sheet done and sent to the attorneys. Assuming this is not the issue and the deal sheets have been sent to both attorneys, the next step is procurement of all documents required for diligence. The important thing to note here is that the asset is the seller's to sell and the seller has two main people working for them at this time: The listing broker + The attorney. Therefore... WARNING SIGN #2: The listing broker is taking more than 3 business days to get the offering plan + building financials over to the buyer attorney WARNING SIGN #3: While the offering plan + financials have been received by the buyer attorney, the seller attorney has yet to send over a first draft of the contract of sale. This is a big warning sign if a contract was not received after say 2-3 business days of the deal sheets being sent out. Assuming the seller attorney is around the office and available to work, it should not take this long to get a contract sent over. One reason why one may not be sent over is that the seller or the seller broker has advised the seller attorney NOT to proceed with the current deal unless told otherwise. There are a number of reasons why a deal may be held up at this stage of the process. These include: 1) seller cold feet over the sales process, moving, or terms of the transaction - usually the price 2) another competing offer in negotiations 3) a change of plans that affects the selling decision (job promotion, a sour relationship trying to work things out, loss of a place the seller had in mind to move to, etc..) Now, if you are lucky enough to get past all these warning signs then you are on the road to getting the deal done. There are only two things left to worry about - SATISFACTORY COMPLETION OF DILIGENCE + GETTING THE CONTRACT COUNTERSIGNED! Therefore... WARNING SIGN #4: Buyer signs contract, sends to seller attorney with 10% deposit, but it has been 3-4+ business days since receipt with no sell side execution. Careful here because chances are logistics can play a role in this delay. If you reached this stage, things usually work out just fine as you are past the first 3 major warning signs that a deal may be running away from you. Sometimes the seller, or sellers, are in different parts of country or sometimes the attorney chooses not to receive a fax signature and wants the originals. It should take 1-3 business days max to get a contract countersigned by the seller, so I am using 3-4+ days as a warning sign here. If it takes that long, hopefully the seller attorney is in communication with buyer attorney as to the reasons for the delay. In the end, COMMUNICATION BETWEEN ATTORNEYS is absolutely crucial during this process. I always advise my buyer and seller clients to have their attorneys keep the other attorney 'in the loop' so to speak if timing starts to stray a bit from what we here in Manhattan consider normal. In a perfect world it should take 1 week to get a deal fully OKd by the attorney and fully executed once all docs are received. But since its not a perfect world, we must expand this to 1-2 weeks as what is considered normal from start to finish. Use the above breakdown of this process as a general guide and remember how important communication is during this phase of the process!! ]]>
In Cyprus, a decision was made to screw savers with a 6.75% to 9.9% "Tax" on deposits. Supposedly this move was made to "avoid unsettling investors in larger countries and sparking a new round of market contagion." In reality, the action was mandated theft, imposed by EU officials to protect senior bondholders. How can such an action do anything but cause contagion? Why would any rational thinking Spanish person keep any money in Spanish banks? They shouldn't and I suspect they won't. Rest assured there is going to be vengeance over this action.....and deposit fear will spread everywhere.I am wondering the same thing. How can this not cause 'deposit fear' as Mish calls it, to spread throughout the weakest parts of the EU? I don't know, this just seems like a really really bad call from the EU. Forbes already has a title out that seems to agree, "The Botching of the Cyprus Bailout: Worse Than Lehman Brothers":
Hank Paulson badly botched the Lehman Brothers crisis of 2009. But at least he had an excuse. Panicked by the speed of Lehman's meltdown, he had no time for second thoughts. By comparison the German-led group of EU officials who engineered this weekend's Cyprus bank bailout don't have a leg to stand on. Although they had years to consider their options (Cyprus's problems are closely related to, and have long been almost as obvious as, those of Greece), they have opted for a "solution" that amounts to probably the single most inexplicably irresponsible decision in banking supervision in the advanced world since the 1930s. As my colleague Tim Worstall has pointed out in a well argued contribution yesterday, they have weakened - perhaps catastrophically - the principal pillar sustaining modern banking. This pillar is deposit insurance.At a time when US equity markets reached new highs and Manhattan real estate "couldn't be hotter", this news brings a few unwelcome storm clouds. Will this be another "non-event" or is this potentially the trigger to something more? It may be worthwhile to keep our eyes on this given the levels of complacency out there (the VIX is at its lowest levels since early 2007). ]]>
The month of February normally sees Contract Activity in the "mid-800s"So we now have a baseline to compare to. Now lets go a bit deeper and look at the daily market ticker tool to see what the market is producing over the past few weeks: *ticker snapshot taken at 5:45am Deal volume for February 13th (yellow box) --> yesterday, the market put 45 deals into contract Deal volume for February 12th (red box) --> the market put 64 deals into contract Weekly pace of Deal volume (blue box) --> the market put 270 deals into contract over the past 7 days Monthly pace of Deal volume (orange box) --> the market put 1,049 deals into contract over the past 30 days Those #s update every 3-4 hours as brokers throughout Manhattan put new status updates for all exclusive listings into the sharing system. Right now, February is on pace to put over 1,000 deals into contract if the month ended today. Which allows me to draw this conclusion:
With everything we know about how tight inventory levels are, the market continues to see deal volume solidly outperform on a year over year basisNow very important, strong deal volume doesn't necessarily mean rising price action. I think price action has been on a steady, progressive upswing for the past 4+ years now but that is only because I am actively in the field servicing clients and seeing where bids are coming in throughout Manhattan's neighbohoods/price points. But for where bids are now and how that relates to say 6 months ago, well, we have to wait for that data to become public record (probably in the June-July time frame we will get public record confirmation of where the market is performing today). Every building is its own local marketplace and right now even the price points are performing at different levels. We know from yesterday's discussion that the lower end price points are not seeing as 'robust' deal volume trends as the higher end. We also know that Chelsea, BPC, and FiDi are under-performing the broader market trends and may not be seeing the kind of action that Tribeca & Gramercy/Flatiron is currently seeing. Manhattan is highly segmented which means sellers need to be informed on what is really going on in their hyper-local submarket and building before testing the market with a unrealistic asking price. A high asking price is a sure-fire way to miss the advantage that the market is currently giving the sell side. But hey, I guess that is what makes a market and I can't think of a stronger time to list an apartment for sale since the peak in 2007. Just know that in today's market buyers are paying up for full renovations, views, and a building that is financially sound and being lent on by the major banks. The buy side "herd-like" mentality that sellers love so much seems to be in full gear for those types of "desirable" property. How long it lasts remains the question of the day. ]]>
In both the Manhattan and Brooklyn markets, inventory in most neighborhoods has plummeted in the last few years, and there is not much indication that the situation will be changing any time soon. Of all the neighborhoods, inventory seems to be thinnest on the Upper West Side. For example, buyers for large prewar co-ops on Central Park West quickly learn that there is literally nothing to see. And there was also nothing to see last month, or the month before. Asking prices all over town are escalating in response to this scarcity, and it seems increasingly likely that buyers will be responsive and pay more to obtain a place to live when there are so few options. That said, and while 5% to 10% year over year increases seem steep but possible, I doubt that most buyers will purchase properties which are coming on at 20% over last year's prices. Even in today's scarce inventory environment, pricing still needs to have some relationship to the comparables and price history of similar units. In a seller's market like this one, well priced inventory moves fast.That last part is so important in this type of environment. While its clear buyers are hoping for more supply, sellers would be wise to listen to what the market is saying if they decide to try and test the market at an unreasonably high asking price. That strategy rarely works as fewer buyers will produce few offers and even if one happens to be realistic it likely will get 'passed over' by a seller who is waiting for a higher #. The end result of the strategy is usually light traffic, low bids, and an upset seller. As brokers, its our job to educate our clients on the fast changing market trends and advise them accordingly so that they are best positioned to take advantage of the leverage that the market is currently offering. Sellers would be wise to price listings properly, perhaps 5%-7% over what is deemed fair market value. Buyers would be wise to take on a more aggressive bidding strategy when a highly desired property does hit the market; know your fair market opinion range and go right to the top of it! Don't waste time testing to see if the seller will hit your bid 10% below perceived market value. That strategy likely will be met with a "no response" and leave the buyer bidding against themselves and with no control in the negotiations. I'll keep an eye on the pace of new deal vol and new supply as we get into the meat of the "active season" and report if anything drastic changes. Its hard to imagine anything other than what we have seen over the past year without any negative outside macro force to change how buyers look at Manhattan property. ]]>

In the News this Month:
- Are you up for a challenge? - Camp Menlo: Winter Waterland - New Registration system coming soon! - Extended Open Swim for the Presidents Day Holiday - Adult Swim Instruction - Mavericks: Notes from the Coachs clipboard - Mark your calendar
Are you up for a challenge?
New for 2012, the Menlo Masters swim team invites all Menlo Swim and Sport members to participate in the Can-Do Challenge for the month of February. Whether you swim at the pool, participate in Menlo Fit Boot Camp, or bike in the foothills, join the challenge and help us achieve even greater participation in the canned food drive in support of Menlo Park Senior Centers Brown Bag Program.
Heres how it works. Each day you swim, take a Boot Camp class, or exercise outside, record your yardage (swimming) or time spent (all land-based exercise). At the end of the month, we ask that you donate a can of food for each 2000 yards you swim or 1 hour of exercise. Menlo Swim and Sport then matches your donation with dollars, and all of it goes to the Menlo Park Senior Centers Brown Bag Program. Last year we donated 3000 cans of food; help us break 5000 cans in 2012!
Share your personal goals and success stories on our Menlo Swim and Sport Facebook page.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- The New York Giants have agreed to a five-year deal with left tackle Will Beatty, who could have become a free agent.
The deal gives the Giants some continuity on the offensive line. Beatty is entering his fifth season with the Giants. He played in all 16 games last season after missing much of training camp with a sore back.
Beatty was a second-round pick in 2009 from Connecticut. He has played in 50 games with the Giants. He's made four starts at left tackle, four at right tackle and one as an extra tight end.
He missed the Giants' Super Bowl championship during the 2011 season, when he had a detached retina that required surgery and sidelined him for the last part of the regular season and the playoffs.

Linklaters Begins Talks on South Africa AllianceLegal Week 2012-07-20 00:00:00.0 Linklaters is drawing up plans to enter the sought-after African legal market, with the firm aiming to replicate its deal with Allens in Australia by linking up with one of South Africa's leading independent law firms. The plans were set out to partners as part of the Magic Circle firm's three-year strategy consultation earlier this year, and Linklaters hopes to reach an alliance agreement with a firm during the 2012-13 financial year. The initiative is being overseen by emerging Europe, Middle East and Africa managing partner Sandeep Katwala, who is in charge of negotiations with potential alliance partners. London corporate partner Charlie Jacobs, originally from South Africa, is understood to have been taking soundings from the partnership. Linklaters is in talks with a number of firms, but has not yet begun formal negotiations with any one potential partner. Any agreement reached, which will require partnership approval through a vote, is expected to take a similar shape to the deal agreed with Allens -- formerly Allens Arthur Robinson -- earlier this year. That deal, which went live in May, saw the firms entering into an exclusive alliance in Australia and Asia, alongside an energy resources and infrastructure joint venture in Asia with shared future investment, and a joint venture in Indonesia with shared revenues. The South African tie-up will have an emphasis on the mining sector, with options under consideration including a mining joint venture with a local firm that could see the pair sharing the costs associated with expanding the practice across Africa. Linklaters already has established referral relationships with many of South Africa's leading law firms and shares client relationships with practices including Werksmans and Webber Wentzel, both of which work with mining giant Anglo American. One partner said: "We are not pursuing this deal in order to enter the South African market itself -- it's more of a region-wide play. We have been considering for a while now how to service sub-Saharan Africa, and after ruling out the option of launching our own offices, the partners agreed that we should build on one of our established relationships in South Africa." If Linklaters does achieve a deal, it would make it the latest of a growing number of firms to enter the market. Baker & McKenzie recently picked up a 31-strong Johannesburg team from now-defunct Dewey & LeBoeuf to launch, while Norton Rose's Swiss verein merger with South Africa's Deneys Reitz went live in 2011. Eversheds also has a presence in South Africa, with Johannesburg-based Routledge Modise, now Eversheds, becoming a formal ally of the U.K. firm in April 2008, while DLA Piper has an alliance with Cliffe Dekker Hofmeyr. Linklaters said in a statement: "Linklaters is recognised for its leading African practice, having worked on numerous landmark transactions in almost every country in the continent over the past 20 years. South Africa remains an important market for us and we have built up excellent working relationships with the best local law firms in that country." |

Press Release
Swarovski Elements Wallpaper Collection by Goodrich Global - Part 4
Goodrich Global Pte Ltd
Jul 30, 2012 15:30 SGTGoodrich global ltd PRESENTS SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS WALLPAPER COLLECTION
As the designated distributor of the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Wallpaper Collection in Hong Kong and Mainland China, Goodrich Global Ltd proudly presents the dazzling new collection featuring creative style, exceptional craftsmanship and state-of-the-art technology that infuses every home with glittering splendor. Founded in 1983, Goodrich Global has been offering a diversified array of home furnishing products to customers, and the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS Wallpaper Collection represents a new milestone of the company.
Designed by British wallpaper designer Karen Beauchamp in collaboration with the SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS in-house design team, the collection has proved an exciting means of pushing the boundaries and turning design concepts into wallpaper reality. The finest crystal elements manufactured by Swarovski, SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS, are shown on backgrounds of exquisite flock, mirror-like foil and layered ink giving the effect of metallic leather. SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS shimmer as light plays across the wall refracted by the multi-faceted colored crystals, Cabochon pearls and Crystal Strata integrated into the designs. Goodrich Global, the professional decorator, will complete your living space with the artisanal SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS wallpapers to reflect your tasteful lifestyle and attitude.
The collection comprises 9 wallpapers embellished with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS and 2 coordinating plain wallpapers, measuring 52cm x 10m each roll. Three of these wallpapers have a fabulous layer of crystals, the Crystal Strata, which subtly changes color, creating a refined and subtle brilliance never before seen in interiors. To create the lavish crystal-spangled effects of Crystal Strata, dense layers of crystals are applied directly to sections of the designs as the wallpaper is printed for an intense and sparkling effect.
The scintillating JEWELED STRIPE in broad tone on tone velvet flock and metallic crackle is bordered, depending on the color, by a delicious line of pearls or crystals. The crackle stripe in the design matches the plain ORIENTAL CRACKLE TEXTURE wallpaper.
Available colors: * Black Bronze * Red * French Grey * Champagne * Oyster

- Building industry

If you've been looking at any of my posts here about how to use LinkedIn, and you want to find out more about how to use LinkedIn as a tool for business development and sales, I'm running a workshop all about this on 2nd July in Brighton. It's more of an advanced class in LinkedIn, for people who have been using LinkedIn for a while as a networking tool, and want to move on to using it more proactively to help them to make sales.
The session is run by the nice folks at Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce as one of the Bite Sized Learning sessions, and so has the ridiculously cheap price of just £25.
What the session will cover
I'll be looking at:
- How to build your online presence
- Finding the right people for your sales hit list
- Using LinkedIn for introductions
- Using LinkedIn as part of your business development process
- Some great tips and tricks on how to manage your pipeline
Plus the famous (?) pincer movement trick of business development – it's probably worth coming along to the session just for this.
How to book
Book directly with the Brighton Chamber booking page. And don't forget to stay in touch with other business training and tips, by signing up to my newsletter, and/or following me on Twitter

There have long been signs that the Taliban is open to diplomacy. James Cunningham, the U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan, told a Senate panel at his July 2012 confirmation hearing that Taliban leaders are "signaling they are open to negotiations" but was quick to assert that the Taliban must end its alliances with terrorist groups like al Qaeda.
Other officials have said they're encouraged by signs that Taliban representatives are doing just that and by statements suggesting the group is willing to accept ideas supported by Afghan society, such as allowing girls to attend school. Last year, a Taliban representative also attended an international conference on Afghan reconciliation in Japan.

Madame P.I. Investigates: African Ice
Wednesday, July 16th, 2008Aw, yeah. YHO's favorite super snooper Madame P.I. is back, and continuing her search for the area's best snow cone treat. Here's her latest report:
Assignment: City's Best Snowcone
Stop No. 4: African Ice
Location: 3500 E. 7800 South (Smith's parking lot)
Madame P.I., the delinquent sleuth, reporting for duty once again. It's been nearly a year since I've been scouting about, and boy did I miss y'all. I missed the shave ice too. So I figured, what better place to start than where we left off?
I think I've found a place that makes me feel good about my shave ice addiction. It's called African Ice. When one consumes such copious amounts of flavored ice, I figure it might as well be for good reason. That's why this place is the cure for what ails me. I get adequately-sugared, finely-shave ice (and the cream is free!) and African Ice gets funds to help finance lines of micro credit for African villagers.
Not only does African Ice have a shack-load of flavors, they've also got sugar-free syrups flavored with agave nectar. I'm not one to take a liking to anything but the pure stuff, but whoo-wee, those sugar-free syrups are tasty. If you have a hard time choosing, they have plenty of flavor-combo and local favorite suggestions.
And did I mention that you can pay 50 cents extra for a topping like caramel, chocolate, or best, ice cream? Well, there you have it. Not only is African Ice making the world a better place one shave ice at a time, they've made my world a better place too.
With so many locations, there's no excuse not to check this place out: 7800 S. 700 East; 9400 S. 200 East; 4500 S. Highland Drive; 2100 S. 2100 East and 3800 E. 7800 South.

Though I love to eat and eat out or eat other people's food. Like the "brussel sprouts hungry" - that 's a good one!
