Inside: An Overview of Non-Compete Agreements
Inside Counsel
Post-employment restrictive covenants appear frequently in employment agreements across many industries. Despite their popularity with employers, few contractual provisions create more vexing issues of suitability and predictability of enforcement. The phenomenon flows from the inherent tension between an employer's interest in protecting its business and an employee's interest in pursuing his livelihood. In a series of six articles concerning restrictive covenants, of which this is the first, we seek to debunk the myths and disinformation that plague this area of the law, provide some tools and guidance to help navigate it, and shape reasonable expectations for the deployment and enforcement of these provisions.
To balance the tension between employers' and employees' interests, most jurisdictions which permit restrictive covenants examine whether they are necessary to protect a legitimate interest of the employer and are no more restrictive in scope or duration than is reasonably necessary to protect those interests so as to avoid undue hardship on the employee or an adverse effect on the public. Recognized protectable interests include preventing the misuse of trade secrets and confidential information and competition from "unique or extraordinary" employees. In addition to principals or senior executives with intimate knowledge of business plans and processes, "unique" employees can include individuals possessing goodwill associated with specific client relationships developed or enhanced with the employer's assistance.
Non-compete clauses
Non-compete clauses prevent employees during the term of employment, and for a period of time following employment, from working for a competitor or providing services competitive with the employer, often within a particular geographic region. Enforceability of non-competes varies from state to state. California statutes prohibit them, statutes in other states limit their application and other states rely on common law precedents. Non-competes are advantageous to an employer because they impose the most comprehensive restraint and afford bright line certainty to determine whether a departing employee is complying with the agreement. However, as potentially the most burdensome restraint, non-compete agreements are the least popular with employees, attract the closest scrutiny and skepticism of the courts and often present the greatest enforcement challenge.
Client non-solicitation clauses
Client non-solicitation clauses prevent employees from inducing the employer's clients to do business with a competitor during the course of their employment and for a reasonable period of time thereafter. A client non-solicitation clause should normally be limited to clients with whom the employee had business dealings through which the goodwill to be protected was developed (rather than all clients of the employer). The advantage of the employee non-solicitation clause is that it can protect goodwill associated with client relationships and is normally viewed as less burdensome than a non-compete provision since an employee is not forbidden from associating with a competitor or pursuing her livelihood. On the other hand, the clause is not an absolute bar doing business with the employer's clients and access to proof of solicitation may be difficult if enforcement is required.
Client non-acceptance clauses
Client non-acceptance clauses prevent employees from servicing or accepting business from a client of their former employer after employment ends, even where the employee has not solicited such business. While the clause is less restrictive than a non-compete, the absolute bar to doing business with certain clients bears similarities to the comprehensive restraint of a non-compete clause. Like a non-compete agreement, the non-acceptance of business clause prevents any business with the employer's clients and thus likely will be examined with scrutiny similar to a non-compete clause.
Employee non-solicitation clauses
Employee non-solicitation clauses prevent employees during the course of their employment and for a reasonable period of time thereafter from inducing co-workers to leave the employer and join a competitor. These clauses have been expanded to prevent employment or association with former employees. New York and many other states generally recognize the enforceability of employee non-solicitation clauses.
"Garden leave" clauses
"Garden leave" provisions require that notice be given prior to termination of employment and permit the employer to alter the employee's duties or to direct the employee to stay away from the place of business for the duration of the notice or garden leave period. The employee continues to be paid by the employer and to receive other employment benefits during this period. "Garden leave" provisions appear less restrictive in the first instance than non-compete clauses since they can be viewed as imposing no post-termination restraint. However, courts may treat "garden leave" provisions like non-competes if the employee is directed to sit home by the employer. This may result in close scrutiny of the clause as if it were a non-compete. Given its increasing popularity, the enforceability of "garden leave" provisions will be addressed in more detail in a subsequent article in this series.
Confidentiality provisions
A confidentiality provision protects against the use or disclosure of the employer's confidential information and prevents an employee from using or disclosing that information for the benefit of others. Employees generally have a common law duty to maintain the confidences of their employers. Confidentiality provisions serve the useful purpose of defining for the employee what the employer considers to be proprietary and provide some evidence that the employer takes reasonable steps to protect its trade secrets and confidential material.
Selection and enforcement of an appropriate form of restraint is a complex matter. It involves not only balancing the employer's and employee's legal interests, but is often affected by the parties' bargaining leverage. Restrictive covenants should be tailored to the situation; a "one-size-fits-all" approach for a range of employees with varying responsibilities may deliver less than desirable results. Even perfectly crafted agreements can face enforcement challenges based on the parties' respective performance under the agreement and the circumstances of termination. Despite the challenges, effective contracts can be implemented and enforced. The remaining articles in this series will examine some of the key issues regarding the use of restrictive covenants in more depth.

James H. Adams
H. Adams, 70, passed away on
Feb. 10, 2012.
The son of the late George O. "Ozzie" and Gertrude E. (Datcheg) Adams, Jim grew up in Ocean City, N.J., where he enjoyed basketball, hunting, fishing and anything to do with boats while growing up near the bay. He became an expert snow skier and worked on the professional ski patrol at Sugarbush Mountain in Vermont. He loved basketball and during March Madness you couldn't get him away from the television.
After graduating from Ocean City High School, he went on to become a pilot with the Delaware River and Bay Pilots Association. He navigated ships from all around the world, including supertankers and containerships from the entrance of the Delaware Bay to Philadelphia, and through the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. One of his greatest accomplishments was the overseeing of the designing of the Delaware class pilot boat, which is still built locally and widely used by other pilot associations around the globe.
As a pilot he met seamen from all around the world. He had a passion for meeting people from different countries and always said something to make them proud of their homeland. He had an impact on many lives of those in the maritime industry and the boating world, including his brother who became a captain and pilot for a national oil transportation company, and his son Christopher, whom has competed in the single-handed Bermuda Race and is highly respected for his sailing and marine skills.
Jim was also a sailor and ended up living in Newport and Jamestown. He was known by his fellow pilots and boating friends simply as "Jimbo." Jimbo was friends with many of the world-renowned sailboat racers and loved it when they would stop by and visit. His own sailing adventures took him everywhere from Maine to the Caribbean. During his last years he grew especially fond of the people and waters of Maine. He was a member of the Newport Yacht Club and spent his last season locally enjoying taking friends out for day cruises.
Adams is survived by his brother, Rich Adams (wife Sue and their children, Rick and Liz), son Christopher (and his mother Val), two cousins, Dr. Thomas Adams (wife Ruth) and Robert Adams (wife Chris). He is also survived by his closest friends, Chris Tanner, kidney cousin Capt. Linda Morgan and Ivone Martins. Jimbo will be missed.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, Feb. 18, at 11 a.m. in the United Congregational Church in Middletown.
Memorial contributions may be made in his name to the Seamen's Church Institute, 18 Market Square, Newport, RI 02840.

Security from the Assembly Hall will be helping campus police this year (source), so monitoring 463.350 (DCS506) might be worthwhile (this freq had 139 hits on Friday according to Arc246's log, unknown if it was Unofficial related). ISP will also be assisting patrol Unofficial (source). Some activity on Starcom21 TG 13020 'D10 DETAIL A' was noted on 2/29/08 and probably related to Unofficial. For coordination between ISP and METCAD agencies, I'd expect it to be on 155.055 IREACH (at least one transmission was heard on IREACH that could have been related). A News-Gazette article reported that Illini EMS provided medical assistance. They use 451.450 (DCS 131) but it's unknown if there was any Unofficial radio traffic on there. I forgot to monitor to the City of Champaign TRS to see if any of their departments were using it. No activity has been noted on the old 453 MHz repeaters during the 2008 event.

My name is Christina Lee and after just graduating Central Catholic High School in Portland, OR, I will attend Caltech to study physics. My passion for physics began in middle school after attending a lecture by Brian Greene on string theory and receiving *The Fabric of the Cosmos* for Christmas. In high school I joined my local astronomy group, the Rose City Astronomers, and expanded my interests from quantum mechanics and space time to include galaxies, nebulae, and telescopes. Astronomy provides the chance for anyone to reach out and experience the laws of physics at a scale that boggles the mind and challenges the spirit to pursue. An internship in fluid mechanics at Portland State University in 2007 fostered my love for exploring the unknown reaches of our knowledge, which I find in physics. I love the beautiful interplay of mathematics and physics and PSUs Link program allowed me to study math there my senior year. Mathematics is the language of physics, and together can both progress. Outside of science, I enjoy piano, reading, hiking, and knitting.

Local Dollars, Local Sense
How to Shift Your Money from Wall Street to Main Street and Achieve Real Prosperity
Foreword by Peter Buffett
Local Dollars, Local Sense is a guide to creating Community Resilience.
Americans' long-term savings in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, pension funds, and life insurance funds total about $30 trillion. But not even 1 percent of these savings touch local small business-even though roughly half the jobs and the output in the private economy come from them. So, how can people increasingly concerned with the poor returns from Wall Street and the devastating impact of global companies on their communities invest in Main Street?
In Local Dollars, Local Sense, local economy pioneer Michael Shuman shows investors, including the nearly 99% who are unaccredited, how to put their money into building local businesses and resilient regional economies-and profit in the process. A revolutionary toolbox for social change, written with compelling personal stories, the book delivers the most thorough overview available of local investment options, explains the obstacles, and profiles investors who have paved the way. Shuman demystifies the growing realm of local investment choices-from institutional lending to investment clubs and networks, local investment funds, community ownership, direct public offerings, local stock exchanges, crowdfunding, and more. He also guides readers through the lucrative opportunities to invest locally in their homes, energy efficiency, and themselves.
A rich resource for both investors and the entrepreneurs they want to support, Local Dollars, Local Sense eloquently shows how to truly protect your financial future–and your community's.
Reviews and Praise
Publishers Weekly-
Economist and entrepreneur Shuman (The Small-Mart Revolution) provides a convincing argument that the general public should be allowed to invest in small businesses. Today, millions of Americans are reluctant to trust a rickety Wall Street with their retirement assets or savings for their kids' education, and instead, they're interested in investing locally, especially since small businesses are more profitable than larger corporations. However, less than one percent of Americans's long-term savings touches local small business, which means that Americans are systematically overinvesting in Wall Street and under-investing in Main Street. Shuman offers the average investor attractive alternatives that comply with securities laws, but allow for investing in neighborhood cooperatives, and more. In addition, he explores the challenges of securing institutional lending, and shares valuable insights about how local businesses have deployed creative investment strategies to avoid or reduce the costs of security law compliance, how local investors can pool together to diversify their risks, and how individuals can earn superior returns from investing in their own bank, home, and energy efficiency. Shuman's accessible book will help investors of all backgrounds take action.
More Reviews and Praise
Kirkus Reviews-
In an installment of the environmentally responsible publisher's Community Resilience Guide series, an astute economist weighs in on a hot-button issue: how to keep local dollars invested in local businesses. Shuman (The Small-Mart Revolution: How Local Businesses Are Beating the Global Competition, 2007, etc.) offers real-time suggestions for investing hard-earned American money back into community-based businesses. In the introduction, musician and philanthropist Peter Buffett restates the importance of a return to the "fundamental aspects of human nature" to reverse what he believes to be the nation's crippled socioeconomic structure. Shuman expands on Buffett's beliefs by citing America's broken investment system whereby money spent at local merchants becomes reinvested into large Wall Street corporations. He cites several "local-investment tools" as the building blocks in a plan to reallocate and redistribute capital back into communities that need it more than the "bandits of Wall Street." After an outline of weak retirement investment returns, a stagnant economy and the bleak outlook for future retirees, the author advances highly practical arguments in favor of supporting locally grown foodstuffs, community banking, autonomous cooperative organizations and the adoption of a sustainable mindset. Shuman sensibly lays out the groundwork for a revamped economic platform with profiles of many viable, "green" companies and nonprofit alliances alongside intensively researched facts about banks, securities and recession-proof purchasing strategies. As his thesis deepens, however, the material becomes more applicable for more seasoned, jargon-friendly economists. Still, those emerging with a modicum of head-scratching will find Shuman's galvanized eco-speak an intelligent voice in assigning a conscience to the process of how and where hard-earned dollars are spent. An impassioned, forward-thinking plea for economic reform at the grassroots level.
"Michael Shuman has done it again. In Local Dollars, Local Sense, he answers the central question of the era: How does capital get invested? Whether you are concerned with job creation, environmental destruction, immigration, public health or education, this book will not only tell you why things are going wrong, it will tell you how we can make things right."--Kevin Danaher, cofounder, Global Exchange and Green Festivals
"Brilliant and perfectly timed, Local Dollars, Local Sense enables us to transform worry and confusion about our personal finances, and the nation's, into rewarding action. Shuman shows us-in part with compelling stories-how investment choices are really exciting sources of power to achieve peace of mind for our families as we create thriving, democratic communities. I love this ground-breaking, liberating book!"--Frances Moore Lappé, author of EcoMind: Changing the Way We Think, to Create the World We Want
"In an important and path-breaking work, Michael Shuman shows clearly and persuasively how to transform our nation's financial system from a destructive engine for increasing economic inequality into a positive force for creating human well-being and community resilience. The cry today is for new laws and regulations to instill greater accountability and integrity in existing national and global financial markets. Shuman calls, instead, for legislative reforms that shift savings away from those growth-oriented and life-destroying markets to new local financial markets that serve life-enhancing, place-based community enterprise. Local Dollars, Local Sense: How to Shift Your Money from Wall Street to Main Street and Achieve Real Prosperity must be required reading for every elected official in the country as well as all "experts" in finance and business from the academic and corporate worlds."--H. Thomas Johnson, professor of sustainability management, Portland State University, and author of Profit Beyond Measure
"How can we secure our personal finances while simultaneously helping to rebuild our communities? Read this book and find out. Michael Shuman's advice urgently needs to be heeded. Authoritative yet highly readable, Local Dollars, Local Sense illuminates the path toward a very different economy, providing practical advice that is more intensely relevant with every passing day."--Helena Norberg-Hodge, founder, International Society for Ecology and Culture; producer, The Economics of Happiness
"Local small businesses employ more people and respond to community needs better than big corporations do-but nearly all our investment dollars support Wall Street banks and huge companies. The path to local investing has been strewn with obstacles. Michael Shuman clears a path for us all, showing how local investing can help solve some of America's biggest social, economic, environmental, and political problems. This is a book many of us have been waiting for."--Richard Heinberg, author of The End of Growth and Peak Everything
"Where to invest your money in these uncertain times? Bring it home, advises Michael Shuman. But don't put it under the mattress! This smart and thoughtful book explains the many ways we can invest in our local economies to not only receive a more reliable return than the stock market casino can provide, but also to live in more self-reliant and joyful communities. Join the shift toward true prosperity. This book shows you how."--Judy Wicks, cofounder, Business Alliance for Local Living Economies
"Changing the direction our money flows in away from the tax havens and the banks and toward the urgent rebuilding of community resilience at the local scale is one of our most pressing and urgent tasks. Michael Shuman inspires and equips us for this work with great vision and purpose."--Rob Hopkins, author of The Transition Companion and cofounder of the Transition Network
"Prepare to rethink everything you've learned about investing! In this tour de force, Michael Shuman provides an eye-opening look at how local companies can trump market returns, and how legalized crowdfunding might do more for job creation than the failed policies of throwing taxpayer money at big corporations. The book abounds with examples of community investment that are helping to rebuild local economies, and provides a tantalizing glimpse of life beyond corporate capitalism."--Amy Cortese, author, Locavesting: The Revolution in Local Investing and How to Profit From It
"Want something that makes sense amid the increasingly crazy world of global finance? Going local is it and Michael Shuman has been at the forefront of this cutting-edge thinking for more than a decade. He not only maps the emerging process of economic localization, but also gets down to the nitty gritty: the investment strategies and the financial practitioners who are making it real."--Woody Tasch, chairman, Slow Money; chairman emeritus, Investor's Circle; and author of Inquiries into the Nature of Slow Money
"There is no task more urgent facing this country than rebuilding local economies, and Michael Shuman knows this inside and out. This book should be required reading for Americans."--James Howard Kunstler, author of The Long Emergency and other books
"This long-awaited book is a masterpiece and a field guide to a much-needed journey into creating the kind of economy our children will be happy to inherit. Future generations will praise Local Dollars, Local Sense as one of those seminal works that helped transform human societies."--John Perkins, author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman and Hoodwinked
"Local is the new green, because local encompasses the wholeness of real places - nature and people and the complex web of relationships among them. Living on an island, I have a special appreciation for local resilience. I know my community is my real security. My bank. The financial system makes it easy to invest in distant corporations and difficult to invest in our own neighbor's start-ups and business expansion. Enter Michael Shuman and this wonderful book, Local Dollars, Local Sense. He outlines many practical innovations that can flow money back into the productivity and prosperity of the places we call home. With the growing interest in moving our money out of Wall Street and into Main Street, Michael's book provides a very welcome roadmap for local investing.--Vicki Robin, author of Your Money or Your Life
"Michael Shuman answers a lot of questions I've always wondered about, and in the process paints a practical vision of exactly where we need to be headed in this country. Consider this book an excellent investment!"--Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth and The End of Nature

Before pushing his goals total to 34 in last Friday's District 5-2A championship game, Arric Wali had already earned a reputation as one of the area's top scoring threats.
Before pushing his goals total to 34 in last Friday's District 5-2A championship game, Arric Wali had already earned a reputation as one of the area's top scoring threats.
After forcing a pair of turnovers that led to both goals in the No. 2-seed Raiders' 2-1 win at top-seeded Keystone Heights, the junior striker was also being considered by Santa Fe's coaches as one of their leading defenders.
"One of the good things about him is during the district games, he actually played defense," Raiders assistant coach Tim Hinchman said. "He was like our first-line defender. So when they would try to drop the ball back, he would put pressure on their defenders which caused them to do errant passes."
Following a scoreless first half against the Indians, Wali found the net in the 48th minute for his third goal of the tournament after one of his pressures deep in Keystone Heights' territory.
Wali then supplied an assist off a similar turnover to midfielder Jorge Garcia to give Santa Fe a 2-0 lead, which would stand until the Indians found a late score with 30 seconds remaining.
"Once we got (Wali's) goal, their team started to unravel," Hinchman said. "We got more comfortable and they started to get very nervous. Within five minutes later, we scored our second goal."
On Thursday, Wali also scored two goals in Santa Fe's 4-0 win against P.K. Yonge in the semifinal round of the district tournament.
With their second straight district title, the Raiders' form looks to be peaking at the right time behind Wali's creativity. Santa Fe (16-3-3) is unbeaten in its last five games since a 2-0 loss to Keystone Heights on Jan. 4, in which Wali was slowed by an illness and midfielder Alex Garcia (10 goals, 17 assists) sat out with a knee injury.
"We're actually finally healthy," Hinchman said. "I think every other team (in the playoffs) has injuries. We finally have a full squad. … Everyone who was ill or injured is coming back, so I think that's one of our advantages heading into next week."
The Raiders are slated to host Pierson Taylor in the regional quarterfinals Wednesday at 7 p.m.
JIMMIE TAYLOR III, SUWANNEE: The senior shooting guard nearly posted triple-doubles in consecutive games last week with 14 points, 11 rebounds and 14 assists in the Bulldogs' 70-58 win Monday against Jacksonville Trinity Christian and then 24 points, 9 rebounds and 11 assists to lead Suwannee to a 64-58 victory Thursday over Hamilton County. Taylor capped his week with a 33-point outburst Friday to lead the Bulldogs' past Jacksonville Mandarin, 64-58.
PEDRO GARCIA, SANTA FE: The junior midfielder had a hand in 3 goals during the Raiders' 4-0 win against P.K. Yonge in the District 5-2A semifinals last Thursday. Garcia scored a pair of goals and also chipped in an assist. A day later in the district final, Garcia helped Santa Fe control the midfield in its 2-1 win for the district title against top-seeded Keystone Heights.
MEGAN NEAL, GAINESVILLE: The sophomore won the FHSAA Section 4 Qualifier for the 110-pound class Saturday at Belleview and advanced to the state meet for the first time after benching 105 pounds and lifting 125 pounds in the clean and jerk for a 230-pound total.
Honorable mention
Girls basketball
TEYONNIA BLAKE, LAFAYETTE: An eighth-grader, Blake reached double figures in points and rebounds in all three of her games last week, including a 21-point, 19-rebound effort Friday to lead Lafayette past Columbia. Blake, a forward, also scored 13 points and hauled in 18 boards in a win Monday against Trenton and had 25 points and 13 rebounds in Tuesday's loss to Oak Hall.
SHELBY STOKES, TRENTON: In three games last week, Stokes averaged 24.3 points per contest for the Tigers. The freshman point guard also compiled a combined 13 rebounds, 8 assists and 9 steals in losses to Lafayette and Branford as well as a win against Dixie County.
Boys basketball
KEVARRIUS HAYES, SUWANNEE: Hayes, a sophomore center, hit double-digit rebounds in each of the Bulldogs' three games last week, including 20-rebound effort against Hamilton County. In the 64-58 win, he also posted 15 points and 10 blocks for his second triple-double of the season. The 6-foot-8 Hayes also had 12 points, 17 rebounds and 8 blocks to begin the week against Jacksonville Trinity Christian and 8 points, 13 rebounds and 3 blocks while hosting Jacksonville Mandarin on Friday.
LAMINE MBODJ, ST. FRANCIS: A 6-foot-8 senior center, Mbodj scored a combined 33 points and hauled in 27 rebounds last week to lead the Wolves to a pair of victories against Crescent City and Lecanto Seven Rivers.
JAKE NANGLE, ST. FRANCIS: Nangle, a 6-foot-7 senior center compiled 24 points, 11 rebounds and 7 blocks in the Wolves' formidable frontcourt last week.
Girls weightlifting
RACHEL REID, GAINESVILLE: Reid, a junior, grabbed first place at Saturday's FHSAA Section 4 Qualifier in the 199-pound weight class with a 140-pound bench and a 140-pound clean and jerk for a 280-pound total.
Athletes of the week are determined by nominations from area coaches. Coaches are asked to call in every Sunday between 4-7 p.m.

Man charged with Racine ecstacy lab heads to trial
Man charged with Racine ecstacy lab heads to trial
RACINE, Wis. —
A man charged with operating a drug house in Racine waived his preliminary hearing Wednesday and will head to trial.
Timothy Gutierrez, 39, of Racine, is charged with one count each of felony possession with intent to deliver THC and felony conspiracy to manufacture designer drugs; two counts of felony first degree recklessly endangering safety; and four counts of misdemeanor bail jumping.
Firefighters battling a house fire in the 400 block of Parkview Drive in Racine earlier this month discovered a hidden drug lab, fire officials said.
If convicted, he faces up to 53 years in prison and/or up to $140,000 in fines.

Before Hurricane Rita rolled through Arkansas with her buckets, optimists predicted plenty of three-bale cotton. Post-storm, with cotton wet, strung out and often on the ground, optimism has been dampened.
A day before Rita-spawned storms hit, Bill Robertson, Arkansas Extension cotton specialist, said recent hot weather caused the state's cotton crop to mature very quickly. Producers were "moving through their fields trying to get every bit possible before the rain."
Robertson estimated only a third of southwest Arkansas' cotton had been picked. The remaining two-thirds "are ready for harvest. Essentially all of it is defoliated there so it's vulnerable to bad weather."
Despite being down on the crop a few weeks ago, "I'm hearing some really good yields. The first bolls that were opening were fluffing out but seemed awfully small. At one time, I didn't think we'd bust 900 pounds."
However, as the rest of the bolls opened, "many fields fluffed out to the tops. Now, I'm hearing of a lot of 1,100-pound, 1,200-pound and even 1,300-pound cotton.
"We have our share of 900-pound fields. But we've got a lot of 1,300-pound fields — bunches of them. If we could pick all the cotton open on the stalk currently, we'd have a 1,000-pound average. The cotton is picking fantastic. We're getting most everything off the stalk.
"I was in a field several days ago that, when ginned, came in at 1,495 pounds. We've got a number of three-bale fields in southeast, central and, incredibly, in northeast Arkansas too. The problem is most of it is still out in the field with this storm heading towards us."
Currently, southeast Arkansas is only a quarter picked. Probably 50 to 60 percent is ready for a picker.
In the northeast — "say Mississippi and Clay counties" — pickers only began running in earnest the week of Sept. 19. The area is only 5 percent to 10 percent picked with 30 percent of the acres ready for harvest. From what he's seen, Robertson estimates 60 percent has been defoliated.
"Farmers are holding their breath. They've got more than enough acres in front of their picker, right now. They can't get all those acres before the hurricane gets here. Many of them haven't defoliated because cotton is more weatherproof with the leaves on.
"In fact, I've got some cotton that needs to be defoliated. The heat units on it are ample. I chose to leave the leaves on. I'll go to Plan B after this rainy weather moves through."
Two days later, Rita was gone and the damage assessment had begun. The National Weather Service reported some cotton-producing counties in the state received 4 to 6inches of rainfall. In several counties, wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph were reported.
"I've talked to a number of folks," Robertson said Sept. 26. "Carl Hayden (Chicot County Extension agent) in southeast Arkansas said they had 5 to 6 inches of rain with some heavy wind. But as dry as it was and low as the bayous were running, he wasn't aware of any flooding. The low ends of fields have some water standing but no flooding. He figures there's 150 to 200 pounds of cotton (per acre) is on the ground. So we did lose some yield."
Cotton losses lessen as one travels north. In Desha County, Robertson said, 4.5 inches of rain fell and about 150 pounds of cotton (per acre) is on the ground.
In the Forrest City area, "I spoke with a farmer and consultant. They got a little over 3 inches of rain and figure there's a little less than 100 pounds of cotton on the ground.
"Around Marion/West Memphis, a farmer said he got 4 inches. Around Jonesboro, farmers tell me they got a couple of inches of rain with less than 50 pounds of cotton on the ground. That seems pretty common north of I-40."
Calculating losses isn't difficult. One boll of cotton on the ground per foot of row is equal to 35 to 50 pounds of cotton per acre.
When will the bulk of producers return to harvesting?
"I don't think we're going to have temperatures in the 90s anymore. The way it looks now, it'll probably be this weekend before we're back in the field in the central part of the state. I hope there aren't any more surprises. I know everyone is tired and ready to get the season over with."

Halo 4 didn't get nominated for GOTY? Wow, I thought at least one Xbox exclusive would win this gen. Maybe next year though. I'm voting for Assassins Creed 3.
Looking at my disagrees, compared to yours... our lists are essentially the same... except I though AC3 was the best action adventure game and PS3 game...
yet I get disagreed to oblivion
If Mario wins best handheld game I will not be happy.
Gravity Rush deserves it for being original and amazing.
LittleBigPlanet is also really good though.
Also where's PS All Stars?
I saw this a while ago. And I was surprised Halo 4, Black Ops 2, and Borderlands 2 didn't make the list. Then I looked at the comments and got some of the best laughs ever......fans & fanboys you kill me.
It's Spike's GOTY awards. They choose the nominees, gamers vote on them. If it was the gamers GOTY then we could include anything we wanted.
That being said I'm hoping for The Walking Dead, Journey, or Dishonored. AC3 and ME3 are good, but I hoping something bold and new wins it.
Why all stars? Its should be in most anticipated.
I'm just glad to see Journey getting so much attention. It was my pick for GOTY when it came out, and is still my pick for GOTY today. Truly an amazing game. 343 is my clear pick for studio of the year... they have done a fantastic job with Halo 4. Congrats to all the nominees.
I think it's interesting how there is a "Vita has no games/is dead" articles every 5 seconds on this site, but 3 or the 4 nominees in the handheld section are Vita exclusives. Put that in your pipe and smoke it naysayers.
"Studio of the year-Gearbox"
"Best Character- Between Connor or Claptrap... but mostly claptrap"
Please don't.
"PS3 game- Assassins Creed 3"
Just no.
"I wouldn't want it to go to the Walking Dead, come on it's good but not that good"
Just when I thought it couldn't get worse.
Oh I'm sorry I have a different opinion than you.
Didn't know your opinion was the only right one... I'll remember next time
@blactric below
Ummm ok? I don't understand how I was presenting my opinion as a fact
When I say I hope walking dead is goty, that's my opinion
When a game wins it, then it is a fact
Implying that I was presenting those as facts... Wait, weren't you actually doing THAT yourself?
Stay mad.
Everything else fair enough except your GOTY
I wouldn't want it to go to the Walking Dead, come on it's good but not that good
Journey - Mostly because as a PSN game it's stunning, it's like art packaged into a video game
Dishourned - Mostly because it's a new fresh IP and it fuels hope for a sequel.
For the studio I would have to go with GearBox, they made Borderlands 2 and since that didn't get nominated for GOTY it would be nice for them to win.
Female Voice Actress....has to be Cortana, I'm sick of people going on about tme mo cap actress, Jen Taylor is the one who brings her to life.
Dameon Clarke HAS to get best Actor, he was hillarious in Borderlands 2 as Jack....sorry Max
Jeez theres a lot of Walking Dead stuff...I hope people don't just pick it based on the fact its downloadable game and it would be weird seeing a downloadable game win so many awards. TT games will just continue making point and click games then, I want to see them do other things.
Claptrap has to win best character, that COD character better not win, I have no idea why he is there most COD characters are the same personality wise. Maybe one year, when Uncharted 4 comes out Nolan will FINALLY win an award.
I have to admit the choices this year seem a little funny. Kind of poor in my opinion
We're at the point now where the line between downloadable games and retail games is becoming irrelevant. In the infancy of XBL and PSN, they were neat little snippets of content and nothing but simplistic fun. Today we have downloadable games that surpass retail releases in terms of graphics, gameplay, depth, but ultimately in the quality of the experience. Lets face it, the experience has always been at the core of why we love video games. Why segment that?
Hopefully journey wins. The other nominees are good but journey was just breath taking and a great experience in the first play through. That game is a gem and shows that gaming can be art.
i'm voting Journey as best graphics, best PS3 game and overall GOTY. The Last of Us is my most anticipated game next year, i was considering GTA5 but Naughty dog is Naughty dog
The Walking Dead? They can't be bothered to master a simple technical detail like inverted aim but let's give them GOTY.
No, just no.
@Morganfell We should be picking game of the year based off of the emotional connection and the enjoyment we get out of the game not based off of obscure technical details.. I've always agreed with you and had your back through the years but I feel we shouldnt scrutinize details like that when considering GOTY.. Please don't take this as an attack just voicing my opinion.. Peace :)
OMG dude, why do you care about disagrees?
Only a bunch of fanboy kids downvoted/disagreed with you because...well, they're fanboys.
Don't put too much esteem into the N4G community, you're better than that, bro...you're better than that.
My choices will be:
Game of the Year: Dishonored (Why not Borderlands 2 or Darksiders 2 nominated?!?)
Studio of the Year:Gearbox Software
Best Xbox 360 Game:Halo 4
Best PlayStation 3 Game: Journey
Best Wii / Wii U Game: Xenoblade Chronicles
Best PC Game: XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Best Shooter: Borderlands 2
Best Action Adventure Game: Darksiders II/Sleeping Dogs (Tie for me)
Best RPG: Xenoblade Chronicles
Best Multiplayer Game: Guild Wars 2
Best Team Sports Game:FIFA 13
Best Driving Game:F1 2012
Best Graphics:Dishonored
Best Independent Game:Dust: An Elysian Tail
Best Performance by a Human Male:Dameon Clarke as Handsome Jack (Borderlands 2)
Best Adapted Videogame: LEGO Batman 2: DC Super Heroes
Best Downloadable Content:Mechromancer Pack - Borderlands 2
Most Anticipate Game:Bioshock Infinite
This show is a joke.
When Gears 3 wasn't nominated last year, I called Bullsh**! Sold more than all exclusives by a mile, played to death, had more options than any game period, & was absolutely fantastic!
Now Halo 4! This is some lol crap here.
Whatever, I can play some of the Halo 4 modes Ive yet to play because I'm still playing in the super campaign (during the show). Now playing Legendary, then on to something else.
Why isn't Borderlands 2 should be gunning for GOTY.
Really im not a pc gamer?My steam ID is
and my ps3 id is Fries1223
and my ps vita Id is TheAsskicker1223
Lets go bitch
All i said that both the 360 and the ps3 where holding it back.How am i a fanboy?For saying they where equal lol? wtf
Also blocking someone is the pussy way of saying "i lost the argument"
I'm mostly a console gamer but Guild Wars 2 shatters all the nominated GOTY games. AC3 is my most disappointed game of the year.
These are stupid...
Borderlands 2, Assasins Creed, Journey, and Halo 4, and Walking Dead are just gonna win everything because there's no other options.
Seriously wtf Journey is nominated for like every category i mean i loved it and voted for it but still haha. We should be able to vote for nominees xD
Hell the games in the "Best PS3" category are like the exact same as the games in the "Best 360" category xD That's ridiculous.
Oh well who cares lmao
I'm only watching for some new premieres/trailers.
There are some rumblings that Infamous 3 will make an appearance :)
Hiphop Gamer mentioned that in one of his videos. I'm waiting to see some new info about The Last Of Us. And any new IPs from the big three. I know it's not E3, but one game from at least one of them is good.
Hot damn! This is the best post I've read from you all week.
hopefully they show fallout 4. if that game is shown it will become my most anticipated game over GTA V
YES. Trust me, I'm anticipating a new Fallout game so much. BETHESDA. DO SOMETHING GOOD FOR ONCE AND ANNOUNCE A NEW FALLOUT GAME. I DEMAND IT.
See, if I don't demand it, then they don't give it. But, you know, if I, a single person on the internet, demands it, then that means they shall listen.
It's what I'm most interested in seeing too. Award shows have never been my thing but at least VGA knows what gamers want: more games ;)
Looking forward to seeing both some announced titles as well as hopefully some new ones. Especially PS3 as first/second party have a lot of unannounced projects but also something from MS... other than Judgement, XBLA, or Kinect as those are really main exclusives we "know" about for '13. If they aren't waiting to announce next gen anyways, I'd like to see something at least as no Late year games have been announced yet (Sony has several TBA release dates at least).
Isn't that the main reason why we all watch it....I mean most of the awards are fixed anyway
Neil patrick Harris hosts the show...oh and look at that he wins best voice actor..........for Spiderman (REALLY)
Best Voice 2009, Jack Black who was there even though Nolan North should of won for his work in Uncharted 2. Stephen Merchant big celeb won for Wheatly over Nolan again in 2011....I mean come on.
Basicaly whoever is there in the audience celeb wise and they are nominated, they will win.
Most likely, even if she's not there she'll probably win. She wasn't even that good in the game.
5 bucks emma stone will win best female actress
Maybe a new Bayonetta 2 gameplay trailer will show up
I save myself from the utter trash that makes up the rest of the event and watch the trailers online after.
Here is my two cents. Halo 4 got nominated for best Xbox 360 game but not GOTY? The game is nothing but awesome and a ton of people bought the game...ugh >.>
Ac3 should not be there.
Played it, Beat it. yes, yes it should be there.
2 top things i want release date for TLOU&MGS:GZ.
How's Borderlands 2 not a GOTY nominee?
I know, Borderlands 2 is my personal GOTY.
Journey is good but it's WAY too short
ME 3 is a decent game that fails in the storytelling department
Dishonored is like journey, good but WAY too short
AC 3 is a buggy mess
TWD got stellar storytelling but it's more like an interactive movie.
BL2, Halo 4, Journey, TWD and GW2 would be my nominees.
Skyrim was a buggy mess, still won GOTY.
I agree with you on GW2 i cant comment on 360 games since i dont have one. AC3 is a buggy mess and story is the worst and not talking about the ending. ME3 also fails in the storytelling.
GOTY should have great gameplay and great storytelling followed by graphics.
I am suprised Journey got nominated for the Game of the Year catergory, instead of like Borderlands 2 or something. But Journey is a very good game.
thats a good thing if you ask me. the best game of 2012. borderlands 2 is a great game aswell, but journey is just WOW
Actually I'm not surprised the game is really good. Actually according to Game of the year picks blog Journey is the only game released this year that won a GOTY award and it's from Gamecity Prize(UK)
Did anyone see the category for "Best Handheld/Mobile Game"? Out of 4 games, 3 were PS Vita games and 1 was only a 3DS game. I hope Gravity Rush wins it because it has been my favorite handheld game this year. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is a great game, but it's more of the same. I want something new to win it this time.
Isn't that rather ironic? All this talk about the Vita not having games, or there being no games worth playing on the system, but most of the nominees are from the system. Something doesn't seem to match up there...
Personally, as much as I love both LBP and Sound Shapes, I want to see Gravity Rush come away with the win.
If Journey wins, a new era of gaming begins. Screw Halo 4, BLOPSII and Borderlands 2, glad to see some fresh ideas as contenders.
Screw you, journey is good but it's way too short to be a better game than BL2, maybe it's better than halo 4 but not BL2.
The VGAs are BS, with this lame nominee list I'm not even watching them for the trailers when I can watch them on youtube next day.
I never knew games were about length. Guess MMO's should win GOTY every time then. I'm voting guild wars 2.
WTF... it's Journey, Halo 4, and Borderlands 2; not in that order.
Journey is an amazing game, hope it wins in some categories and Halo 4 aswell for best Shooter, Xbox 360 game and best multiplayer :)
Where the hell was Tiny Tina for character of the year?
Where's Max Payne for best graphics or Most Wanted.
I really hope Arkane gets studio of the year. They released a patch less nearly bug free game and considering Dishonored is a new IP it did exceptionally well without a need for a prequel hype.
it would have been nice to see Borderlands 2 and Halo 4 get a GOTY spot, but it's cool that Dishonored and 2 indie games got nominated.
it seems that they addressed some of the complaints from past years like having 5 freakin' music categories. The nominees are pretty varied as well, not too bad.
my only concern is that we don't get pointless celebrity cameos, and those stupid "in between" game show activities like last year. There should be some integrity with these awards.
Also, this is just me, but i think it would've been nice to have a category like, "Best Boss Battle," or "Most creative level," because it'd be great to point out the good things that the developers worked so hard in designing, just a thought :P
I hope either AC3, Dishonored or Journey win GOTY. Still stumped as to why Halo or Borderlands ain't there
That GOTY list is pretty horrid considering all the games that should have been on that list.
Pretty lame vga this year. When rehashed garbage has a chance at goty (assasins creed 3), you know its bad.
Rehashed garbage? Sounds more like BLOPs, lol. When any FPS ACTUALLY gets new gameplay feature... then they should be nominated right away, right? AC3 is a true sequel, far from rehashed. Play the game before you judge. It deserves its spot as GOTY far more then BLOPs, and I'd say Halo 4 too, though Halo 4 should most definitely be there...
What.. No Borderlands 2?.. that makes no sense at all
was there really no Big PS3 game that came out this year other than All-stars(not out yet)?
Journey, right there, nominated for 7 categories, but it's a downloadable title. But still epic.
Other than that no, All-Stars (we have to see), Twisted Metal and Starhawk became single A at best tho.
There was Starhawk and Twisted Metal, but they came out way too early in the year to have any sort of chance on this. It's sad that games that are released at the end of the year always get more nominations regardless of the quality.
Halo 4 is not even an option for GOTY?
Proves that Spike VGA awards is complete crap. It gets worse each year.
VGA = Mainstream bull shit.
Don't wanna see a bunch of C-list celebrities pretending to be GAMERS. This show should be all about Developers and hardware manufactures like Nvidia.

Judge throws out evidence in Northwood Lake negligent homicide caseBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
October 22. 2013 8:15PM
BRENTWOOD — Prosecutors will not be allowed tell jurors about a Hooksett man's blood-alcohol tests, or certain statements he made to investigators prior to being charged with a fatal boating incident that killed one of his passengers.
Judge Marguerite Wageling threw out key pieces of evidence that the state planned to use in the upcoming trial of Eric Cable, 34, who faces two counts of negligent homicide for causing the death of Brendan Yerry, 28, of Hudson last July 14.
Cable is accused of being intoxicated while piloting the boat and letting Yerry straddle the boat's bow before he fell into Northwood Lake and suffered fatal injuries.
Judge Marguerite Wageling said in three orders made public Tuesday that Cable could not have "freely, knowingly and voluntarily" given consent to have his blood taken for testing.
"At no time was the defendant informed he did not have to consent to the blood draw," Wageling said in a court order.
She reached her decisions after considering testimony from the Marine patrol officers and Cable himself at a hearing last month where the defense challenged how the evidence was collected.
Results of a breath-test administered on Cable, which suggested he had a blood-alcohol level of .13 and .14, had to be thrown out largely because officers never took a second sample as required under the state's due process rights, according to Wageling.
A second sample should be preserved in case a person wants to have a breath test independently tested, the judge noted.
Statements by Cable, which included him saying "I just killed my friend" after he had been placed in the back of a police cruiser, were also thrown out.
Wageling concluded that Marine Patrol Officer Officer Seth Alie did not purposely try to solicit incriminating statements when he asked Cable how he was doing, but should have known they were "likely to elicit an incriminating response."
Wageling also disagreed that Marine Patrol officers were legally justified in drawing Cable's blood two hours prior to getting a judge to sign off a search warrant authorizing them to do so.
Police can only collect such evidence under "exigent circumstances" where there is a threat to public safety or likelihood that evidence will be destroyed, Wageling said.
Cable was taken into custody at 9:38 p.m. July 14. The first-blood draw was taken at 11:45 p.m. but a search warrant to draw Cable's blood was not signed until 1:18 a.m., according to court testimony.
"In part, the delay was caused by the fact that it was a nighttime arrest and it was difficult to find a judge, cell phone coverage was spotty and many of the officers were involved in the search and rescue (of Yerry)," Wageling said in the order.
Had the officers made efforts to write the search warrant sooner, "they may have been more successful" in having it signed by a judge prior the first blood-draw at 11:45 p.m.
Cable testified at a hearing last month that he felt he was forced to provide a blood sample at the prompting of investigators, and did not know he could refuse to provide one.
Wageling said she did not find any evidence to the contrary.
The judge said that by the time Cable gave consent for the blood draw, "he had been alone in police custody for at least two hours, driven from Northwood Lake to Concord Hospital where he was told he had no right to refuse to the police the requested blood draw."
Cable is scheduled to go on trial in December.

A rare recorded interview of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. from 1960 will be among the attractions at the National Civil Rights Museum on the Monday, Jan. 20, national holiday honoring King.
The audio recording, in which King talks about nonviolent resistance to segregation as a strategy and tactic up to that point in the civil rights movement, was donated to the museum in 2012 by illusionist David Copperfield.
Copperfield bought it from a family who found the reel of recording tape in an attic. At the time, he said he bought it and donated it to the museum to ensure that the public would have a chance to hear King talk about the movement.
The museum is almost at the end of its first major renovation since it opened in 1991 on the site of the Lorraine Motel, where King was assassinated on April 4, 1968.
King Day exhibits will include some renderings of what the renovated museum will look like when it reopens in March.
Since the renovation begin, the museum's legacy building, across Mulberry Street from the main museum, has remained open.
The legacy building will be open on the holiday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. However, there will be no tours in which visitors can walk on the balcony where King was shot, because of the large crowds that usually visit the museum during the King Day holiday.

Retired Shelby County Circuit Court Judge D'Army Bailey has pulled a qualifying petition to run for Circuit Court Division 1 judge in the Aug. 7 elections.
Bailey retired in September 2009 as Division 8 judge.
Bailey is the only contender with a petition out for Division 1, which is now held by Judge John McCarroll.
In other election moves, Shelby County Commissioner Terry Roland has filed his petition to seek election to the new County Commission District 1, and Charles Nelson has filed to run as an independent on the August ballot in the race for Shelby County mayor.
Incumbent Shelby County Trustee David Lenoir has pulled a qualifying petition to seek re-election, starting with the May Republican primary.
Former Shelby County Schools board member Martavius Jones has pulled a petition to run in the Democratic primary for the new County Commission District 10.
Col. Gene Billingsley, who pulled a petition for County Commission District 7 in the Republican primary, has said he won't run. Billingsley announced his decision the day after former Germantown alderman Mark Billingsley was appointed to a vacancy on the current County Commission.
Gene Billingsley said his decision was based in part on not wanting there to be "more than one Billingsley on the ballot."
Meanwhile, the Shelby County Election Commission has now posted two separate lists on its website, www.shelbyvote.com, of the election activity. One is for contenders in the May county primary and independent contenders in those races.
The other is for contenders in the August judicial races, Shelby County Schools board races and the state and federal primaries on the August ballot.

Neurofeedback equipment for mind peak performance training
Results of psychophysiologic research combined with the most recent technology create new possibilities for more full use of mental potential. Brain plasticity allows positive, often deep changes in abilities.
Neurofeedback (EEG biofeedback) teaches better concentration, attention and creativity, raises immunity to stress and helps to develop many other psychological functions. Learned skills find application in any field: in business and sports, in studies, creative work and personal life, in the face of challenges, threats and growing level of stress.
Our mission is the development of equipment and software for peak performance training. Neurobit Lite™ is advanced, portable device equipped with unique set of features making neurofeedback self-training easier.
Neurobit Optima™ is a family of highly versatile, portable equipment enabling multichannel neurofeedback and other types of biofeedback (EMG, HRV, GSR, TEMP etc.) It can also be used in many other applications requiring high quality physiological data acquisition.
See Video introduction to Neurobit Lite neurofeedback device
Neurobit Lite highlights
Double use EEG equipment
Neurobit Lite can be applied as a portable, standalone neurofeedback equipment, with built-in training protocols for facilitated use. It can also be used as a wireless, computerized neurofeedback device, transmitting high resolution EEG signal to PC. The data can then undergo sophisticated, configurable processing with biofeedback software, e.g. BioExplorer. Results can be recorded on disk, presented on diagrams and feed back to the user in real time with the use of computer multimedia capabilities.
With our free application programming interface (API) it is also possible to built one's own applications for EEG processing, such us biofeedback games, software for neuropsychological research or experiments with brain-computer interface.
Wideband EEG measurements
Neurobit Lite can measure up to 1024 EEG samples per second in frequency band up to 100 Hz. Sampling frequency and bandwidth can be controlled on PC.
Low noise
EEG signal is very subtle (typical amplitude of a dozen or so microvolts), hard to measure against background noise. Neurobit Lite uses high quality, very low noise amplifier and analog-to-digital converter.
Automatic supervision of electrodes contacts
Good electrical contact between EEG electrode and the skin is another prerequisite of correct EEG recordings. To facilitate reliable measurements we built-in an advanced solution into Neurobit Lite. The device can automatically check impedances of electrodes contacts during whole neurofeedback session, without pausing EEG measurements. Too high impedence is signaled to the user.
High immunity to power mains interference
If you have already used EEG equipment, you probably well know the problem: EEG signal is often completely invisible in large power frequency interference (50 or 60 Hz). And sometimes this interference saturates an amplifier so, that you get null output signal. Avoiding the influence of power lines can be a struggle.
In Neurobit Lite we ultimately eliminated such problems thanks to very high common mode rejection ratio (CMRR) and specially designed, digitally controlled filter.
These are not only important properties of our product. Learn more about numerous distinctive features of Neurobit Lite EEG equipment.
On our website, alongside product information, you can also find several resources on neurofeedback and its application to mental peak performance training.

Ghana an example in fight against hunger
19 June 2013, Rome – FAO Director-General José Graziano da Silva has encouraged Ghana to continue its efforts in the fight against hunger and invited the country to share its successful experience as an example for other nations. Ghana was one of 38 countries formally recognized last Sunday for reducing hunger by half.
At a meeting yesterday with Ghana's Minister for Food and Agriculture, Clement Kofi Humado, the Director-General also thanked him for the 'symbolism' of letting three Ghanaian farmers receive an award for outstanding progress in fighting hunger at Sunday's ceremony at FAO.
The Minister expressed support for the reforms introduced by the Director-General and for his leadership of the Organization. Ghana is proud to host FAO's Regional Office for Africa, he said, thanking FAO for its "great support".

Bank of America Corp. and Citigroup Inc., the second and third biggest U.S. lenders, selected new managers to help run the firms' rates-trading desks.
Bank of America is hiring Barclays Plc's co-heads of Treasury trading, Charles Parkhurst and Adam Brown, for positions reporting to co-heads of North America Rates Trading Denis Manelski and David Moore, said a person with knowledge of the moves. At New York-based Citigroup, Roland Wikstrom will replace Nicholas Brophy as U.S. head of G-10 rates trading, according to Danielle Romero-Apsilos, a bank spokeswoman.
Bank of America's investment bank, run by Co-Chief Operating Officer Thomas K. Montag, is pursuing selective hires after freeing payroll by cutting more than 30 employees, said a person with knowledge of the strategy. Equities operations were the hardest hit by cuts, the person said.
Parkhurst, 52, will run U.S. Treasuries trading and Brown, 37, will oversee North America Rates Electronic Trading at the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank, said the person, who requested anonymity because the moves were private. Both were managing directors at London-based Barclays. Brandon Ashcraft, a spokesman for Barclays, declined to comment.
Citigroup's Wikstrom previously was the unit's head of risk treasury, said Romero-Apsilos. Brophy's departure ends a four- year tenure at Citigroup during which he was one of the lender's most senior rates-trading executives. The rates business, run from London by Andy Morton, buys and sells products including Treasuries, inflation-protected bonds and interest-rate swaps.
Brophy said will do more with the Worldwide Orphans Foundation, where he has been a director since 2011. The charity works to "transform the lives of orphaned children to help them become healthy, independent, productive members of their communities," according to its website.
He joined Citigroup in 2009, shortly after the lender's $45 billion government bailout. He previously worked for Merrill Lynch & Co., including roles as head of options-trading, derivatives-trading and co-head of rates trading, according to the Worldwide Orphans' website.
Brophy also worked briefly at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, where his duties included working on the fallout from the rescue of American International Group Inc., he said.

I use these shades while mountain biking. They are very clear, and are perfect for cloudy conditions. Although they are not supposed to fog up, they tend to do it while I'm taking a break and standing. Gets annoying. However, as soon as I start riding again, they clear up. They are very comfortable to wear, even after hours of riding. I would recommend them to anyone wanting a nice pair of transitions shades to ride in.

Mike Trout got a $20,000 pay raise from the Angels, and I know I'm supposed to feel something.
If someone could explain to me what a pay raise is, it might help.
I really don't understand why anyone cares what Trout makes unless they have a daughter who might marry him.
You start comparing what people get paid, and it never goes well. I'd like to see the president stand up to Jim Mora, and tell me I don't deserve to be paid more than he does.
Dennis Rodman can do his job, as we learned recently, and he was paid nothing.
OK, so we all know Trout is overloaded with talent. At 20 and 21 maybe the very best in the world at what he does.
I was in the Army when I was 20 and 21, doing my very best to avoid being shipped to Vietnam. And I was the best in the world because I didn't go.

(MCT) — MOBILE, Ala. — Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman, who was the offensive coordinator for the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVIII under Bill Callahan, declined on Wednesday to get in the fray over allegations from former players that Callahan tried to "sabotage" his team by changing the game plan two days before the game.
Trestman, who is in town for the Senior Bowl, declined to comment on Brown's comments.
Former Raiders receiver Tim Brown made the accusations recently, questioning Callahan's relationship with Gruden when discussing the Raiders' changeup from a mostly run-heavy game plan to a pass-heavy game plan at the last moment. Former Raiders receiver Jerry Rice supported Brown's statements in an interview on ESPN.
Callahan, currently the offensive coordinator of the Cowboys, denied the allegations in a statement, calling them "ludicrous and defamatory."
"I am shocked, saddened and outraged by Tim Brown's allegations and Jerry Rice's support of those allegations," he said in a statement at the Senior Bowl. "I categorically and unequivocally deny the sum and substance of their allegations."
On Wednesday, Brown tried to walk back from his allegations, telling the "Dan Patrick Show," "I've never said (Callahan) sabotaged the game."
However, the day before, on SiriusXM NFL Radio, he said, "We all called it sabotage ... because Callahan and Gruden were good friends."
"That's something that can never be proven," Brown said Wednesday. "We can never go into the mind of Bill Callahan. . I should have said we could have called it sabotage. It was a question, not a statement. You cannot prove it."
Bears cornerback Charles Tillman is one of five finalists for the Byron "Whizzer" White Award, given annually by the NFL Players Association to players who perform exemplary community service in their team's cities and their hometowns. The other finalists are quarterback Charlie Batch of the Steelers, linebacker Chad Greenway of the Vikings, tight end Benjamin Watson of the Browns and tight end Jason Witten of the Cowboys.
