Rays boast one of MLB's top Minor League systems
Myers, Lee, Guerrieri headline Tampa Bay's impressive prospect pipeline
By Adam Berry / MLB.com
The future success of every Major League team lies largely in its Minor League pipeline. With that in mind, MLB.com is looking at each team's farm system, from the Top 20 Prospects to under-the-radar types.
ST. PETERSBURG -- Tampa Bay's depth was tested in a major way last season. Injuries took their toll, everyday players shuttled on and off the disabled list, and the Rays were left scrambling for solutions.
In many ways, the Rays' oft-heralded Minor League system answered the call. Right-handers Alex Cobb and Chris Archer, for example, proved themselves worthy of spots in the rotation. But when it came to position players, Tampa Bay was sometimes left without answers and forced to rely on stopgap solutions from outside the organization.
That's why, as proud as the Rays are of their farm system, they are always convinced it can improve. They made a big commitment to that idea this offseason, trading right-handers James Shields and Wade Davis for prospects Wil Myers, Jake Odorizzi, Mike Montgomery and Patrick Leonard.
"You've got to be pleased, but you can always do better," said director of Minor League operations Mitch Lukevics. "[In] our organization, the lifeblood is from player development and scouting. Even if you have a young club, you can never have enough depth, because you never know what can happen during the Major League season."
The Rays' relative lack of top hitting talent makes Myers, MLB.com's No. 4 prospect, the most interesting addition. Although it's still a guessing game as to exactly when he'll reach the Majors, he is arguably the organization's best hitting prospect since Evan Longoria, and obtaining such a long-term, middle-of-the-order threat was a boon to Tampa Bay's pitching-rich system.
"Our strength has really lied in our pitching," Lukevics said. "We're getting better, organizationally, with position players. You've got to do it all."
Indeed, there is little doubt the Rays will continue pumping Major League pitchers out of their system for many years. Their stockpile of power arms is considered the envy of most other organizations, and for good reason.
Archer and Odorizzi have already pitched in the Majors and are the closest to claiming permanent spots there. And this is the same system that recently graduated left-hander Matt Moore (last year's top prospect), Cobb and 2011 American League Rookie of the Year Award winner Jeremy Hellickson.
But Tampa Bay's most promising pitching prospect is Taylor Guerrieri, set to begin his first full professional season in 2013. In his age-19 season, Guerrieri went 1-2 with a 1.04 ERA, 0.77 WHIP and 45 strikeouts (against only five walks) in 52 innings for short-season Class A Hudson Valley.
Top 20 prospects
The Rays haven't been able to rely on high Draft picks populating their farm system since they left the AL East cellar five years ago, but their ability to stock up on quality prospects hasn't changed very much. Just look at the composition of their current top 20.
There's Myers (No. 1), Odorizzi (No. 5), Montgomery (No. 8) and Leonard (No. 20), picked up from Kansas City. There's Archer (No. 4) and Hak-Ju Lee (No. 2), acquired for Matt Garza in early 2011. There's that unusually large 2011 Draft class: Guerrieri (No. 3), Blake Snell (No. 7), Mikie Mahtook (No. 12), Jeff Ames (No. 13), Jake Hager (No. 15), Tyler Goeddel (No. 17) and Brandon Martin (No. 18), plus top 2012 Draft pick Richie Shaffer (No. 9).
Most of the list's 11 position players are a few years away from the Majors, and the nine pitchers -- five righties and four lefties -- range from big league ready to low A ball.
One recently acquired pitcher to watch is Montgomery, sandwiched between Myers and Odorizzi as the Royals' No. 3 prospect only a year ago. Another rocky season hurt the lefty's standing, but he is loaded with potential.
"He has the stuff and he has the wherewithal to be a very good pitcher," Lukevics said. "We're confident in talking to him. We're confident in what we do, and we expect good things out of Mike Montgomery."

Under the radar
Right-hander Jesse Hahn stood out last year, even on the dominant staff of short-season Class A Hudson Valley. In his first professional season, the 23-year-old went 2-2 with a 2.77 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 55 strikeouts in 52 innings. The 6-foot-5, 182-pounder didn't give up a home run all year and allowed 6.6 hits per nine innings. Moving up to a full-season league will present a challenge for the sixth-round pick in the 2010 Draft, but he acquitted himself well in his first year.
Second baseman Ryan Brett fits the description, too, having jumped from playing Rookie ball in 2010-11 straight to Class A Bowling Green in '12. Now 21, Brett figures to make it up to Class A Advanced Port Charlotte when he returns from the remainder of a 50-game suspension. He posted a .285/.348/.393 line and stole a team-leading 48 bases in 100 games last season.
Hitter of the Year
If Myers somehow spends most of the year with Triple-A Durham, this conversation starts and ends with him. Lee could find himself in the running, and outfielder Josh Sale would have been a favorite if he didn't have to serve the rest of his 50-game suspension this year.
But the pick here is 21-year-old Drew Vettleson. The 42nd overall pick in the 2010 Draft batted .275 with a .772 OPS for Bowling Green last year, recording 24 doubles, five triples, 15 homers and 20 stolen bases in 132 games.
Pitcher of the Year
Take your pick, really. If Odorizzi or Archer -- last year's winner -- spend enough time in Triple-A, it certainly could be one of them. There's a case to be made for Ames, Enny Romero, Felipe Rivero and maybe even Montgomery, but it's simply too tough to pick against Guerrieri after what he did last season.
"We expect him to again have an outstanding year," Lukevics said. "His stuff is plus-plus. When he's on that mound, he's as competitive as we've ever had here. With the stuff and the command, it's pretty good."

According to recent science they have found that pedophiles are born with an attraction to children. Now before i get started i don't advocate pedophiles or child molestation. With that being said i'll be getting started.
Homosexuals argue that since they're born that way they shouldn't be mistreated in regards to equality. Now i'm all for equality but pedophiles use the same reasoning so whats the difference? Is it a lack of equality or have the morals of humans not degenerated to the point of allowance of such behavior. I personally believe that while both are natural humans have just lost morals so homosexuality is accepted unlike pedophiles. I believe both are born that way however i see it as wrong to say homosexuals deserve fair rights but pedophiles don't. They both suffer from a genetic disorder according to recent science, but only one is treated as such. Ive kinda just been typing my thoughts and I can't see how people think that just because your born a certain way makes it ok. Just because your born a certain way doesnt make it natural or morally right. Pedophiles do unthinkable acts towards children but the human race only thinks tht due to our current morals. Prior to this day and age homosexuality was unthinkable but as awareness was made morals degenerated. My key point is someday being a pedophile will be accepted by the same scenario. In some societies it is accepted. Sorry for my rant i just think its interesting.
Teenager with pedo disorder likes teenagers
Adult with pedo disorder likes children.
I find it interesting.
PLEASE do not bring religion into this. Its a compare and contrast between two genetic disorders.

A group of students in Illinois was suspended after school officials thought the energy mints they were popping were illegal drugs.
Jason McMichael told the Pekin Journal Star his 17-year-old son Eric was suspended for two days from Pekin Community High School and not allowed to go to the homecoming dance after staff members found him and three other students eating the Revive tablets.
The mints are marketed like caffeine energy drinks.
"People bring energy drinks to school every day," Eric McMichael told TV station WMBD. "I see this every day and we get in trouble for energy mints?"
His father said school officials later admitted they did not know if the mints were illegal drugs, but upheld the suspensions anyway.
Superintendent Paula Davis told the paper that while she was not able to discuss the incident.

Most pain associated with the heel can be tied to plantar fasciitis. The plantar fascia is a long, wide, thin ligament in the bottom of your foot that connects the heel to the front of your foot and helps support your arch.
Forces acting on the foot from excess pressure or repetitive activity cause the arch to flatten out. At the same time, the plantar fascia is trying to keep this from happening. These opposing forces put tremendous stress on the tissue, causing microtears in the ligament. When enough continuing stress exceeds the body's ability to heal itself, the tissue under the heel becomes injured and painful.
The symptoms of plantar fasciitis include severe heel pain, especially first thing in the morning. Most people say that it hurts from "the instant their heel touches the ground." Some even feel pain and stiffness when starting to walk after sitting for a while. It gets worse after prolonged weight-bearing, walking, or standing. Pain can also radiate into the arch or sole of the foot.
Plantar fasciitis is often seen in persons over 40 years old or in those who are overweight. There is also an increase in visits to doctors during the spring and summer months as people resume activities involving walking or running. Among runners and other athletes, shoes that do not support the foot properly commonly lead to plantar fasciitis.
Diagnosis is most often made by assessing the place (middle of the bottom of the heel) and timing of the pain. The doctor will also question you on your activity levels and history of pain.
While fractures, infection, and arthritis can also occur, the place and timing of the pain is usually different. Sometimes an x-ray or other imaging test is needed to exclude these other causes.
Over-the-Counter Remedies
Some treatment options include:
- Rest your foot. Avoid activities that cause pain. Bicycling and swimming are good alternatives for exercise during this time.
- Perform calf stretches and plantar fascia stretches.
- Switch to a good pair of shoes that fit the heel snugly and offer arch support.
- Try using over-the-counter arch supports or soft heel pads.
- Try night splints to help keep your feet pointed up and the plantar fascia stretched while you sleep.
- Put a cold compress on the heel for 20 minutes, 3 times a day.
- Use a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), such as ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce pain and swelling. Follow the directions on the label or those given by your doctor.
Other Treatment Options
If home remedies are not working, your doctor may try more aggressive treatments. These treatments may include:
- Physical therapy—to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion
- Custom made orthotics
- Steroid injections or botox injections in the heel
- Shock wave stimulation
- Cast to keep the foot immobilized
- Surgery as a last resort
Be aware that it may take several months for your injury to heal completely. Do not return to sports or normal activity until your doctor says it is okay to do so.

the Deepwater Horizon suffered a devastating explosion and ruptured
an oil well on April 20 of this year, BP executives spent
months trying to figure out a way to stop it, and eventually clean up
the mess. What they might not have known was that something had
already begun
cleaning up the oil only a month after it started spilling
into the Gulf of Mexico.
clean-up crew was a series of bacteria, like Alcanivorax,
which is an oil-eating bacteria found
in the ocean. This bacteria only "blooms" when oil is
present, and then it feeds on chemicals found in crude oil. According
to a team of scientists working on the study, there were large
numbers of these types of bacteria present in the Gulf just one month
after the leak began, and they had quite a feast.
Hazen led a team of American scientists on an expedition to collect
samples of water on two ships in the Gulf between May 25 and June 2
looking for different types of oil-eating bacteria. They found 16
types of bacteria within a deep-sea oil plume about 1,100 meters
below surface.
Camilli from the Woods Hole
Oceanographic Institution recently announced that this plume
had "persisted" for months after the oil leak began,
insinuating that bacteria wasn't breaking down the oil plume as Hazen
suggested. Also, Camilli stated that oxygen levels near the plume
were stable, and if bacteria were eating the oil, these levels would
argued that his team was looking directly for the bacteria themselves
rather than just traces of their presence, and the results were that
oxygen levels inside the plume were lower than the outside,
indicating the presence of bacteria. Twice as many bacteria were
found inside the plume than outside.
the 16 types of bacteria found, Oceanospirllales (which
is a group that includes the Alcanivorax) were the most prominent.
All the groups on the inside of the plume had oil-eating
capabilities, breaking down hydrocarbons within the oil. These groups
of bacteria were "genetically distinct" from bacteria
outside of the plume, and according to Hazen, salinity, pressure,
temperature or any other cause besides the oil would cause this
difference. Hence, Hazen and his team believe these bacteria
were there strictly to clean up the oil.
Hazen is saying that the plume has been undetectable for
approximately two to three weeks now, and that it disappeared shortly
after the leak
was capped July 12. While the various types of bacteria
found supposedly "ate" the oil, there are some components
of the oil that cannot be broken down by bacteria. Only the
hydrocarbons are digested by the bacteria.

He is also the only Raptor to play in every game this season. He still needs to improve his defence, handling and three-point shot.
Part of the future? Definitely. He should be the Raptors' starting shooting guard as long as he wants to be here.C
Andrea Bargnani
GP 66 l PPG 21.4 l RPG 5.2 l FG% 44.8 His scoring average went up, mostly because he took more field goals and free throws this year. His rebounding remained abysmal, with his help defence not far behind. Five years into his career, it is tough to argue he can be anything more than that.
Part of the future? Probably. He is still the best offensive piece the Raptors have. If Colangelo moves him, they are going to need more compensation than he probably can bring back.Source: National PostD+
Sonny Weems
GP 58 l PPG 9.4 l RPG 2.6 l FG% 44.4 At the end of last year, it seemed as if Weems' ceiling could be as high as his friend DeRozan's.
Not anymore. A back injury derailed him, but even healthy, Weems seemed a little too shothappy and a little too inefficient at everything else.
Part of the future? Unlikely, unless they are trying to appease DeRozan. Needed to show more on defence.

The government is demanding
answers and the public is getting all nervous. Not too shabby for a
humble discovery by a hard working pair of security researchers.
The discovery by Pete Warden
and Alasdair Allan that Apple Inc.'s (AAPL)
popular iPhone and iPad devices track
their users' locations in explicit detail without
permission has already created a firestorm of debate. Now it has
generated a lawsuit as well.
I. Apple Finds Itself in Court Again
Vikram Ajjampur, an iPhone user in Florida, and
William Devito, a New York iPad customer, have filed suit against Apple in
Tampa Bay, Florida federal court. The suit was filed on April 22; only two days
after Mr. Warden and Mr. Allan presented their findings.
The news organization Reuters interviewed the
pair's lawyer, Aaron Mayer. He kept the discussion high level, stating,
"We take issue specifically with the notion that Apple is now basically
tracking people everywhere they go. If you are a federal marshal, you have to
have a warrant to do this kind of thing, and Apple is doing it without one."
complaint [PDF] offers juicier details. It alleges that
Apple violated federal computer fraud laws and consumer fraud and deceptive
trade practice laws in many states by implementing the undisclosed feature,
which records users' positions thousands of times daily and stores it to a
permanent internal database.
The pair's complaint seeks a judge's order to force Apple to
remove the "feature" and cease tracking people without their
permission. It also demands that Apple issue refunds to any customers who
want one, arguing that many customers would not have bought the devices had
Apple not deceived them about the tracking. It also seeks unspecified
punitive damages for negligent misrepresentation.
II. Is Google Just as Bad?
While the feature may make some users wary of
buying Apple products, some argue Apple's chief competitor Google Inc. (GOOG)
is just as bad or worse. Apple reportedly never collects the data it
stores wirelessly -- though the possibility remains that it was planning to
harvest the data sets when customers upgraded their iPhones, returning their
old models.
By contrast, Google, makers of the wildly popular
Android OS, regularly collects location data, though it only stores a small
amount of it locally. It regularly wipes this store and reportedly takes
steps to preserve users' anonymity.
Thus Google may be a bit nosier as a company, but
its devices offer less risk to its users. By contrast Apple's behavior
puts users' at a greater risk of privacy invasion by a third party.
Criminals or private investigators could use a questionably obtained
device to map a person's frequent whereabouts, possibly putting them in
physical or financial danger.
Legally where Apple may have put itself in real
trouble was in the claims that it made last year that it
did not track users' positions if they disabled location-aware services in it's
devices' settings. This statement now appears to be a blatant lie and
puts Apple in a sticky predicament.
Apple has refused comment, publicly.
But reportedly Apple CEO Steve Jobs has claimed in
a short email to a customer that Apple "does not track" users, though
he failed to provide any specifics about the scope or precise meaning of his
III. Governments Voice Concern
Even if Apple can defeat the litigation against it
on a federal level, it may face pressure at the state level to kill the
feature. Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan has ordered [press
release] both Google and Apple to give a full accounting of how their
devices collect and store users' locations, including how that data is
Outside the U.S., French, German, Italian and
South Korean regulators have all launched investigations into the data
It appears that Mr. Warden -- himself a former
Apple software engineer -- has created a massive headache for his former
employer. And Mr. Allan, a senior research fellow in Astronomy at University
of Exeter in England, was happy to help him out.
The pair has created quite a name for themselves
at Apple's expense.
Apple, though, should be familiar with customers'
lawsuits and the courts by now. Since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007
it has faced a steady
barrage of lawsuits for trying to limit the ways its customers can use their
devices and even trying
to destroy the devices of "non-compliant" customers at one point.

That was done with the same kit but at 6.5 psi of boost. With an increase of 3 psi and a 91 / MS109 fuel mix along with meth injection the result is another 64 wheel horsepower. That is just about 20 wheel horsepower per psi of boost increase on the same blower. Obviously you can only push so far on the stock motor before you risk the engine and see diminishing returns as the supercharger is pushed out of its efficiency range.
It is very nice to see the S85 V10 finally showing what it is capable of with boost. A built motor with a bigger blower will likely easily eclipse the 1000 whp range but that is something which will come down the line.
Great work by Gintani pushing the envelope as always.

From The Desk of Mark Evans: Online Marketing Professionals
Dear Internet Marketer,
Let's be really clear.... If you are online and marketing anything from business opportunities, to products, cpa offers or affiliate programs... one statement is fact.
Right now, you have the opportunity to tap into a marketing phenomenon that will give you more opportunities for exposure than you ever thought possible.
Get your message out to hundreds and even thousands of interested people at the click of a button.
We have combined two of the most powerful social media techniques, and one of the best, and most widely used marketing methods into one powerful tool, that will get your message in front of coutnless interested people, and keep them coming back time after time.
But lets wind back a step...
How did we get here? and what, exactly, is the thinking behind this concept.
Well to answer those questions... you have to see the 'AHA' moment that bought all this together and (surprisingly) it looks like this on a scribbled napkin as the idea took shape....
We were discussing over what was probably our third or fourth coffee for the day from the local coffee shop, the ways marketing has changed over the last few years.
The conversation went on a flow..... but see if you can follow where it leads in point form
And then we both started leaning forward on the chairs
and the conversation got a LOT more animated.
How would it work?
I have a message - that I want other people to see...
I can email it out and post it on blogs and facebook etc.... And the social media networks have made the concept of Sharing things you were interested in a natural part of our daily community.
Inviting you to connect with your network and tell them what you are up to...
What stories interest you, what information you find interesting to share with those around you and ways of 'collaboratively' bringing people together around topics and ideas.
The idea is beautiful.
Someone you have a connection with is interested in a particular topic or piece of information and because of your connection with them, and the fact that they SHARED it - puts it on your radar and you check it out to as a matter of interest... and the cycle continues and grows.
The term GOING VIRAL has gone outside the internet marketing world.
Anything can 'Go Viral' these days... all it takes is one person to share it with their group... Who share it with their group... etc etc.
I cannot believe what you guys have put together here
Totally Tweetable is Totally unique. I never
saw anything like it. The mailer is a Wow.
I send out an email. Someone clicks on it to
get credits and I get my message out all over
Twitter and it goes viral instantly.
This is Total Dynamite and a completely new
way to advertise. I am gobsmacked. This site
gets my ten *star* recommendation. If you
are in business on the net. This is a must have
advertising tool."
Jane Mark
Sokule, Inc
So then the discussion was all about getting this to happen for everyday people. With good products and services.
How could we get their messages to take on a viral quality??
How could we get people to share it with their group?
After all that is the start of the process...
When one person shares it with their connected network, then the effect has begun.
And if the topic has interest and the next level of people also share it...... Now we have viral growth.
Now we open the doors to a WHOLE new era of viral marketing.
Totally Tweetable can make your marketing go viral by incentivising people to tweet your messages for you.
You send to them and they tweet it for you.
That is worth GOLD.
So.... if we can get one person to send out your marketing message to their twitter followers for you
What would be better???
You heard right -
200 people that will receive your message and have an incentive to tweet it out to their followers for you.
Would you PAY for that?
(You don't need to. It is FREE with Totally Tweetable)
And it really is that easy.
Your mail goes out to hundreds.....
They tweet it out to THOUSANDS.
And all the tweets point back to YOUR marketing messages.
Pretty cool huh?
"What's New? Mark Evans has done it again!"
Mark has done it again! Another totally unique site
that appeals to the masses ... Totally Tweetable!
When you join one of Mark's sites you know that
it's going to take your business to the next level
and bring perpetual value to your referrals.
TotallyTweetable is your best yet. Congrats~!
Gina Sprenkle-Gunning
It is your marketing. Your messages.
We have set up a massive leverage factor allowing inter connected groups of people to mutually benefit.
Now that is smart marketing.
If you are ready to join the social media evolution and get your message infront of more people, more often....
Here is what you need to do.
FIRST. Fill in your details below for your FREE membership with totally tweetable.
SECOND. Connect your twitter account.

FRANKFURT, Germany - May 20th, 2014 – Star Alliance, the way the Earth connects, has improved its Conventions Plus product for delegates and organisers. Delegates have a wider range of fares to select from, the booking fee for the online tool has been eliminated, organisers benefit from a new support programme and a more simplified contracting scheme has been introduced.
The choice of fares available to delegates at a discount has been extended through the inclusion of more booking classes, with applicable discount levels now ranging between four and 20 percent.
In principle the higher value booking classes attract a larger reduction than the lower ones. For example, the discount off a Business Class fare booked in "C" class will be greater than the one applicable to an Economy Class fare booked in "Q" or "W" class. As the fares can be interlined among the participating Star Alliance member airlines, delegates can choose from more flights when travelling to their selected convention.
Star Alliance has also eliminated the EUR/USD 10 booking fee which had up to now been applied on all Conventions Plus travel booked via the dedicated online booking tool, making it even more attractive for delegates to use the tool.
For convention organisers Star Alliance has introduced a new support scheme which is now linked to the number of delegates booked. With each delegate booking, the organiser accrues credit for his or her own travel needs. In contrast to the previous scheme, the new one is more directly related to performance and at the same time allows the organisers to fully reap the benefits, as the cap from the old scheme has been removed.
Following the trend for more e-enablement in the travel industry, Star Alliance has introduced a new and simplified Request for Proposal (RFP) for the Conventions Plus product. Lead times have been reduced and the cumbersome paperwork done away with.
"We have seen that the Conventions and Meetings Travel market has been one of the most reliable market segments in our own company's 17 year history. We have managed to achieve year-on-year growth - both in terms of contracted events and delegates travelled - ever since we introduced Conventions Plus in 2002", said Horst Findeisen, Vice President Commercial and Business Development at Star Alliance. "We are convinced that the enhancements announced today will be well received by organisers and delegates alike, as both parties benefit from the changes".
With Conventions Plus, Star Alliance became the first airline alliance to introduce a dedicated conventions product, providing simplified travel solutions to major event organisers by providing access to the entire Alliance network through one of the member airlines. Delegates and one companion are entitled to fare discounts, depending on the type of fare, class of travel and airline used. In addition, the Alliance also offers an organiser support programme. For further details on Conventions Plus please see: http://www.staralliance.com/conventionsplus
Moreover, Star Alliance was also the first alliance to offer an online booking and ticketing service for convention delegates. Complementing traditional fulfilment channels, the new tool was launched more than two years ago and allows the convention organisers to direct delegates to a dedicated online booking and ticketing site for all air travel contracted under Star Alliance Conventions Plus. Using the online tool, delegates can check real time flight availability, price their required itinerary using the applicable discounted fare, book the corresponding flights and purchase the ticket.
Meetings Plus
In addition to Conventions Plus, Star Alliance launched Meetings Plus in 2009 as a further global product for the meetings market. Companies and meeting planners needing to organise gatherings with participants from different countries, have access to the entire Star Alliance network and discounted fares, by contracting their travel needs through just one Star Alliance member airline. Meetings Plus can be used for most meetings of 50 people or more, with attendees originating in at least three different countries. For further details or to submit an RFP please see www.staralliance.com/meetingsplus.
IMEX Booth G650
Star Alliance will be showcasing its product offer for the conventions and meetings market at booth G650 at the IMEX trade fair which is being held in Frankfurt, Germany from May 20th to May 22nd, 2014. In addition to obtaining further information, IMEX trade visitors can also participate in a draw for two pairs of Star Alliance Round the World tickets. Furthermore a check-in kiosk is available for all those wishing to check in for a Star Alliance flight from Frankfurt Airport.

There are 2 people who will be the strongest in the end of the series. One of them is the main character Ichigo Kurosaki, and the other is the man who tied with Ichigo in their first battle Zaraki Kenpachi.
Now people will complain and say, " no the other captains are stronger" or say, "He got his ass kicked".
Him getting his ass handed to him by the emperor is no big deal why? Because even Yamamoto just got his handed to him.
Kenpachi's name means "Strongest shinigami". Basically its foreshadowing that he will become strong , VERY STRONG and end up as the strongest. He defeated 3 quincies while the other captains struggled. And on top of that he has still not unlocked his sword's powers.
So yea, Kenny-boy and Ichi-boy will be the Top shinigamis at the end of the series. And technically if you think about it (Even though there fight is considered a draw) Kenpachi was the last person standing. ;3

Other Proposed Natural Treatments
- Aspartic Acid
- Bromelain
- Celery Juice
- Cherry Juice
- Devil's Claw
- Fish Oil
- Folate
- Olive Leaf
- Selenium
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin C
- Vitamin E
- Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine
Gout is an inflammatory condition that is caused by the deposit of uric acid crystals in joints (most famously the big toe), as well as other tissues. Typically, attacks of fierce pain, redness, swelling, and heat punctuate pain-free intervals.
Medical treatment consists of anti-inflammatory drugs for acute attacks and of uric acid-lowering drugs for prevention.
Proposed Treatments for Gout
The following herbs and supplements are widely recommended for gout, but as yet they have no reliable scientific support.
Vitamin C
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 184 people without gout, use of vitamin C at a daily dose of 500 mg significantly reduced uric acid levels. 7 This suggests, but falls far short of proving, that vitamin C might be helpful for preventing or treating gout.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Vitamin C article.
Folate has been recommended as a preventive treatment for gout for at least 20 years. Some clinicians report that it can be highly effective. However, what little scientific evidence we have on the method is contradictory. 1,2,3 It has been suggested that a contaminant found in folate, pterin-6-aldehyde, may actually be responsible for the positive effects observed by some clinicians.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Folate article.
Devil's Claw
The herb devil's claw is sometimes recommended as a pain-relieving treatment for gout based on evidence for its effectiveness in various forms of arthritis. 4 However, it has not been tested in gout.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Devil's Claw article.
Cherries are also claimed to be helpful for gout , based primarily on a single "scientific" study performed in the 1950s. 8 In fact, however, this study was far too poorly designed to prove anything at all, because it did not utilize a placebo group. (For information on why a placebo group is essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-Blind Studies? ) A much more recent study did find some evidence that cherry consumption might lower levels of urate in the blood. 7 Although high levels of urate are associated with gout, we can not conclude that cherries can directly benefit gout based on this trial. Another larger study did assess direct benefits of cherry on gout when the study assessed the risk of recurrent gout attacks in 633 people using cherries or cherry extract two days prior to a gout attack. Participants taking cherries or cherry extract had 35% lower risk of gout attacks than when they did not use cherries or extract. Further, the addition of cherry consumption with allopurinol treatment reduced the risk of gout attacks by 75% when compared to using only one of either treatment. 8 . Both trials did have had some design issues that may reduce reliability.
Traditional Chinese Herbal Medicine
Traditional Chinese herbal medicine (TCHM) has a long historical tradition, although it is not quite as ancient as popularly believed. In China today, TCHM is used alongside conventional pharmaceutical treatment. Considerable attempts have been made to subject TCHM to scientific evaluation however, most of the published Chinese studies on the subject fall far short of current scientific standard, making it impossible to determine true benefits. Chinese herbal medicine is also a unique mix of herbs with potency and makeup that can vary greatly between prescriptions.
A review of 17 randomized trials involving TCHM appears to show promise as a treatment for acute gout attacks. In these trials, TCHM was compared to traditional Western medications (colchicine, allopurinol, colchicine plus allopurinol, diclofenac, or meloxicam) in 1,402 people with acute gout symptoms. TCHM had similar improvements in clinical blood markers of gout as traditional medication but TCHM was associated with fewer side effects. However, all trials in this review had several biases, which affect the reliability of the results. 9
Other Supplements
On the basis of interesting reasoning but no concrete evidence of effectiveness, fish oil , olive leaf , vitamin E , selenium , bromelain , vitamin A , and aspartic acid have also been recommended for both prevention and treatment of gout. 5
Folk Remedies
Celery juice is a traditional folk remedy for gout that is said to be widely used in Australia.
Herbs and Supplements to Use Only With Caution
Various herbs and supplements may interact adversely with drugs used to treat gout. For more information on these potential risks, see the individual drug article in the Drug Interactions section of this database.

Verizon is well on its way to start
opening up its next generation 4G wireless service by the end of
2010. According to eWeek,
Verizon plans to have its LTE network up and running in 30 "NFL
Cities" by year's end -- in total, 100 million customers will be
In preparation for the rollout, Verizon
will be using IPv6 and upgrading its cell sites to Gigabit Ethernet
to provide the necessary bandwidth to accommodate the increased data
speeds provided by LTE. In Verizon's case, download speeds will range
from 5 Mbps to 12 Mbps. Upload speeds will come in at 2 Mbps to 5
Mbps. In addition, latency for users will range from 30 ms to 150 ms.
For those keeping score, Verizon has
begun LTE user trials in five cities. Also, the company has
announced plans to build
out its LTE network in rural areas. Rural customers have long
been an underserved segment of the population when it comes to wired
and mobile broadband connectivity.
By the end of 2012, Verizon hopes to
put its $100 billion USD investment in its data network (since 2000)
to good use by reaching roughly 200 million customers. By 2013, the
company wants to reach roughly 90 percent of the U.S. population.
The first customers to use Verizon's
LTE network will be doing so with USB adapters. However, handsets
which operate on LTE will start hitting the market next year.

The original Nike Blazers were first released in 1973 and the re-release encompasses many vintage elements of the original 1970's shoe. Whilst being available in many modern colour ways, the Nike Blazer is now a UK high street favourite, a far cry from the US basketball roots of old. Nike Blazer trainers were first donned by George "The Ice Man" Gervin but have evolved from their basketball court roots into a sneaker that can be worn whenever and wherever. Since the launch of Nike's latest skateboarding range, the Nike Blazer has been modified with extra padding so it can stand up to the rigours of the street. Nike Blazers now have high-top and low-top versions making them one of the most versatile Nike Sneakers money can buy. The Footasylum collection of Nike Blazers includes mid and high Blazers as well as Nike Blazers shoes for Mens, Womens and Kids

A lot of optimism was created with the change in style of play and commitment to defense instilled by Dwane Casey last year. Unfortunately this season, the culture change seems to have been forgotten and the Raps are right back to the same door mat ways of the last 5 years..... sadly.
Everyone is well aware the season is only 6 games in however there are some startling trends early.
opp ppg: 105.4 (26th in league)
defensive rating: 112.7 (30th)
pace: 93.0 (10th)
opp fg%: 48.2% (29th)
opp true shooting%: 56.6% (29th)
defensive rebound rate: 71.98 (25th)
opp points in the paint: 42.8 (30th)
opp ppg: 94.0 (9th in league)
defensive rating: 104.5 (14th in league)
pace: 89.3 (25th in league)
opp fg%: 43.5% (tied for 6th)
opp true shooting%: 52.4% (11th)
defensive rebound rate: 75.4 (3rd)
opp points in the paint: 37.6 (17th)
opp ppg: 98.8 (22nd)
defensive rating: 106 (25th)
pace: 93.3 (13th)
opp fg%: 46.5% (24th)
opp true shooting%: 55.8% (26th)
defensive rebound rate: 73.6 (17th)
opp points in the paint: 40.2 (21st)
Clearly the culture change has been forgotten. Excuses of new players, new starters, lack of chemistry, time needed, blah blah blah, etc. are, quite frankly, WEAK. Last year was a strike shortened season with numerous new players and a new coach yet they managed to deliver.
The statistic that stands out for me is the opponent field goal percentage. Last season 9 of the top 10 teams in this stat were playoff teams - the exception of course was Toronto.
The last few days I've been avoiding this site because it is too negative for me. While this thread is certainly negative in nature, I hope it is at least constructive.
I hope Casey quickly remembers what made last year successful in spite of a 23 and 43 record. It is time to remove the new found emphasis of scoring more points than the opponent and go back to focusing on giving up less points than the opponent.
Just my 2 cents. I am beyond frustrated and disappointed in the season thus far. I know, I know, it is only 6 games but is a disturbing 6 games.

like Apple, has implemented a system on its Android smartphone
operating system that can remotely delete apps when necessary.
The news of this "kill switch" leaked
well over a year ago, but Google has hardly used it. This
week Google announced that it had recently killed some apps remotely,
perhaps for the first time. The company explains in a blog
now and then, we remove applications from Android Market due to
violations of our Android Market Developer
Distribution Agreement or Content
Policy. In cases where users may have installed a malicious
application that poses a threat, we've also developed technologies
and processes to remotely remove an installed application from
devices. If an application is removed in this way, users will receive
a notification on their phone.
the apps it removed were the work of a security researcher and not
truly dangerous. The apps were distributed on the Android
market and purposefully misrepresented themselves, but were not
designed to be truly dangerous -- they gained no "resources
beyond permission.INTERNET."The
researcher eventually removed that apps from the market (likely when
his study was complete) and Google executed a remote kill on the
instances of the two apps that still remained on users'
phones.Google elaborates:
remote application removal feature is one of many security controls
Android possesses to help protect users from malicious applications.
In case of an emergency, a dangerous application could be removed
from active circulation in a rapid and scalable manner to prevent
further exposure to users. While we hope to not have to use it, we
know that we have the capability to take swift action on behalf of
users' safety when needed.
remote removal functionality — along with Android's
unique Application
Sandbox and Permissions model, Over-The-Air update system,
centralized Market, developer registrations, user-submitted ratings,
and application flagging — provides a powerful security advantage
to help protect Android users in our open environment.
Google has the right to manage its own business, it's certainly
refreshing to see that it goes the extra mile in communicating and
being so transparent about explaining why its reasoning behind
executing what might otherwise be a controversial feature, when it
of the criticism Apple's iPhone app rejections generated was due to
the fact that they were poorly
explained. It looks like Google is intent on maintaining a
high level of transparency, something which its customers will surely

Probably written in 1599, Julius Caesar was the earliest of Shakespeare's three Roman history plays. Like Antony and Cleopatra and Coriolanus, Julius Caesar is a dramatization of actual events, Shakespeare drawing upon the ancient Roman historian Plutarch's Lives of Caesar, Brutus, and Mark Antony as the primary source of the play's plot and characters. The play is tightly structured. It establishes the dramatic problem of alarm at Julius Caesar's ambition to become "king" (or dictator) in the very first scene and introduces signs that Caesar must "beware the Ides of March" from the outset. Before its midpoint, Caesar is assassinated, and shortly after Mark Antony's famous funeral oration ("Friends, Romans, and countrymen … "), the setting shifts permanently from Rome to the battlefields on which Brutus and Cassius meet their inevitable defeat. Julius Caesar is also a tragedy; but despite its title, the tragic character of the play is Brutus, the noble Roman whose decision to take part in the conspiracy for the sake of freedom plunges him into a personal conflict and his country into civil war.
Literary scholars have debated for centuries about the question of who exactly is the protagonist of this play. The seemingly simple answer to this question would be Julius Caesar himself—after all, the play is named after him, and the events of the play all relate to him. However, Caesar only appears in three scenes (four if the ghost is included), thus apparently making him an unlikely choice for the protagonist who is supposed to be the main character. Meanwhile, Brutus, who is in the play much more often than Caesar (and actually lasts until the final scene), is not the title character of the play and is listed in the dramatis personae not only after Caesar but after the entire triumvirate and some senators who barely appear in the play. Determining the protagonist is one of the many engaging issues presented in the play.

For 'Knuckler' winner Booty, no time for floating
Former quarterback reports to D-backs camp as a non-roster invitee
By Steve Gilbert / MLB.com
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Josh Booty may have won 'The Next Knuckler' competition, but his work has only just begun.
Fresh off beating out former NCAA Division I quarterbacks John David Booty (his brother), Doug Flutie, Ryan Perrilloux and David Greene, Josh Booty reported to D-backs camp as a non-roster invitee.
When MLB Network pitched the idea of the reality show at a Major League Baseball owners meeting, D-backs team president/CEO Derrick Hall immediately volunteered to be the team that gave the winner a non-roster invitation.
"I thought it was good brand exposure for the D-backs and just showed again how well we work with MLB," Hall said.
Booty actually showed up to camp on Thursday and worked a bit in the bullpen with former Major League knuckler and current D-backs broadcaster Tom Candiotti.
"He's got the best fastball of any knuckleballer I've ever seen," Candiotti said. "He can flat out throw it."
The estimate was that he threw 88-89 mph during the bullpen session with his fastball.
"With the knuckleball, he can throw it," Candiotti said. "He's got the ability to be able to take the spin off the ball. It's a constant battle for him right now with his mechanics right now, being able to repeat his delivery, because he drifts a little bit."
The D-backs agreed to have Booty in camp and will allow him to at least throw one inning during a Major League game. Past that, he will need to earn anything else he gets. It is possible if he impresses enough that he could wind up getting a spot in the Minor Leagues.
"In my mind, I'm taking it serious," Booty said. "I don't want to come in here and goof off."
Booty has an athletic pedigree. He was drafted fourth overall out of high school as a shortstop by the Marlins in the 1994 First-Year Player Draft. The Marlins inked him to a then-record $1.6 million signing bonus with the stipulation that he not play football.
"I cried the night that I signed the contract," Booty said about having to give up football.
Booty spent 1994-98 in the Marlins system, where he hit .198. He got 30 plate appearances in the big leagues from 1996-98 and hit .269.
In 1999, he left baseball and went to Louisiana State University, where he played quarterback for two seasons.
In 2001 he was taken in the sixth round of the NFL Draft by the Seattle Seahawks and bounced around a few organizations, mainly on the practice squads.
Now, at age 37, he's hoping for one more shot.
"It's kind of writing the last chapter," Booty said. "I've been close a few times. This is like I'm a rookie for the third time. If I was able to get on the field, I mean it's crazy. I'm just going to have fun with it to be honest with you and get myself in shape so that I have a chance and keep it simple."
Not many players attempt comebacks at his age, but his athletic prowess and ability to throw a knuckleball mean he can't totally be counted out.
"Yeah, I'm 37 years old, but I don't have any wear and tear on my arm and my shoulder and I never got hurt because in the NFL I was a backup the whole time," Booty said. "I feel comfortable and my arm is healthy and I think I can get it back to where I was when I was in my 20s."
While the show finished taping three weeks ago, the final episode aired Thursday night. Ever since he knew he won the competition, Booty has been throwing long toss and trying to get his body in better shape.
Two weeks ago, he spent a week with former knuckler Charlie Hough in California and last week he was in Florida working with Tim Wakefield, another longtime Major League knuckleball pitcher.
"I know my pitching is a lot better now than it was on that show three or four weeks ago," Booty said. "I've come crazy far in three weeks and if I can get another 10-15 opportunities to throw sides, bullpens, work with [pitching coach Charles Nagy], do some things here with Candiotti ... I think the sky would be the limit."
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson threw Booty into a pitching group right away on Friday and said the organization wants to make sure that he's able to handle himself on the mound before sticking him in a game.

5 Things You Don't Know Because You Didn't Go to BAI Retail Delivery
Maybe you know some of these points. But you do not know all unless you were there at the Washington Convention Center for the October BAI Retail Delivery confab. And even then, were you paying attention?
1. The Big Banks Are Primed for a Fall
Keynoter Richard Branson – the self-made billionaire of Virgin fame – is betting heavily that his Virgin Money bank can wrest huge market share from the handful of mega banks that dominate the United Kingdom. "Their brands have been damaged," said Branson at BAI, and the plain point is that between their high pay packets and the financial shenanigans perpetrated by bankers, Branson believes an historic opportunity exists to profit from their misery.
He has bet over $1 billion – spent purchasing Northern Rock, a failed bank, from the government. And he said at BAI that Virgin Money now is originating one in three mortgages in the U.K.
He also coyly put out that he is scouting for bank opportunities in the U.S.
Branson's theme: He loves playing David against plodding, unlikable Goliaths. And what's more Goliath than a mega bank? His strategy will be to highlight their failings and simply to make fun of them (look at what he has done with British Air).
The unasked question at BAI: what is preventing credit unions and community banks from doing likewise with the money center banks in the U.S.?
2. Sir Richard Will Do Anything to Close a Deal
What will you do?
Guy Kawasaki, the onetime Apple evangelist, woke up the crowd at BAI when he flashed a photo of the multi-billionaire Branson on his knees polishing Kawasaki's shoes.
The occasion: they had met in a speaker ready room at a Moscow event where both were scheduled. Branson asked Kawasaki if he flew Virgin. Kawasaki said no, he always flew United. "What would it take to get you to try Virgin?" Branson asked.
Kawasaki hemmed and hawed and Branson got down on his knees and started polishing Kawasaki's shoes.
The point: Committed leaders stop at nothing to get the deal.
A Kawasaki parenthetical comment: "You cannot imagine – don't even try – Steve Jobs [for whom Kawasaki had worked at Apple] getting down on his knees for anybody."
3. Good Mobile Banking Apps Hunting
A fact: today's mobile banking apps may be popular with users but just about everybody concedes they are bland, boring, and not keeping up with the current generation of apps that tap the full range of substantial power built into late model iPhones and Androids.
They do their jobs. Barely. And do little more to win user mindshare or loyalty.
But souped-up versions – call this mobile banking 2.0 – are starting to come into the frame.
Developers at BAI talked about building in powerful digital wallet functions.
They also have begun to take steps to open their apps to feature content from third-parties, say payments tools from Dwolla or gift cards from Blackhawk Networks.
The push also is on to monetize mobile – to bring in dollars from the service – and building in new content figures high in this strategizing.
2013 will, suggested the experts at BAI, be the year when many institutions wake up to their need for more powerful and engaging banking apps.
4. PFM Tools Are Great - Too Bad No One Uses Them
Personal finance managers – think Intuit's Mint – have gotten slick. On a panel – featuring senior executives from Bank of America and Canada's BMO – the consensus was that those who use a bank-provided PFM are stickier, more profitable customers.
But usage is anemic, in the single digits of online banking customers.
Customer ignorance about PFMs is cited as a primary barrier.
But nobody has a good plan for upping usage.
Nobody has a plan they will talk about for building a PFM into a mobile banking app either and that is the obvious next frontier.
Bottom Line: if no one uses your institution's PFM tools, know you are a member of a not very selective club.
5. Bluebird Is No Threat to Bankers (or Credit Unions)
People at BAI were buzzing about Bluebird – the essentially free financial account from Walmart and American Express – but the prevailing opinion is that this will gore somebody else's ox.
The target market is the unbanked and under-banked. The working class. Few banks and not many more credit unions have made a full court press to sell into that market because the profits aren't obvious.
That has left fertile – and profitable – turf for non-banks such as Green Dot with its pre-paid cards.
Many bankers at BAI seemed to think Bluebird is a non-event for them but a nightmare for Green Dot and its brethren because their offerings typically are fee laden. And those fees are what Bluebird takes aim at.

just wanted to say I am indifferent, I believe johnson tries to do too much offensively when he doesn't have the talent. we Could really have used him this season with our lack of depth and defense at SF however, one of my favorite scrubs.
just wanted to say I am indifferent, I believe johnson tries to do too much offensively when he doesn't have the talent. we Could really have used him this season with our lack of depth and defense at SF however, one of my favorite scrubs.
He was 0-11 from 3 pt line when he hit that one. We have such "depth" if you know what I mean, atm.
Why to add player without talent, while we desperately need players with talent?
I always liked James Johnson. As you said he did try to do too much on offense and his shooting was questionable at best.
But he was a very good defender, shot blocker and rebounder for his position. He was a suprisingly good ball handler and passer aswell. His entire game seemed rather deceptive, where he looks completely disinterested and as if he is loafing around, yet at the same time is getting the job done (kind of reminds me of Paul Pierce in that way - NOT comparing too Paul Pierce)
While I have no idea what he really did to get into Casey's doghouse (I've heard things from smoking weed on the plane, to calling out Andrea, to demanding more usage and a greater role) I think if he ever became truelly motivated (mentally and physically) he has all-star potential. But I also think thats not likely to ever happen.
Although he almost definetely would have been useful on this team (and cheaper than Landry Fields), I'm not losing any sleep over him being on another team.
Good for him. I know he hasn't had an easy ride over in Sac-town, so hopefully this starts something for him. I'd still rather see him at the SF over Kleiza. Kleiza is a waste of space at this point.
Love Alan Andersons defense and 3pt abilities though. Definition of Scrappy.
If he had James Johnsons size and Handles, then he'd be All-Star material.
While I was a fan of Johnson, I've moved on; he is now the enemy.
I was a fan of Johnson till he told Casey "I hope you get fired" he can dive under a tractor for all I care now.
This is probably the worst thing that could have happened to the Kings. JJ will think he's a "closer" now.
Way to go JJ! I, like most, have moved on. BUT i would still take JJ over Kleiza and Fields......BC gave up our best defensive player last year for a 2nd round pick. Then he signs a SG with a messed up elbow (cant shoot) and tells him he`s starting at SF....LOL - BC gives the scrub 18 million!!
Imagine that! JJ`s more of a closer than Bargs! Stop hating.....
Am i the only fan that thinks DC`s rotations are still suspect?
He plays wayyyy to much small ball.....its like he doesnt know how to coach a team with a traditional PF or C
Watch the end of games... He almost always plays 2 point guards and we start shooting too much from the outside
I know we lack a true post player, but at least try to develop one!!
Given that Casey's last 2 coaching gigs where with Minnesota (KG) and Dallas (Dirk) it doesn't really suprise me that Casey is leaning to small ball as opposed to using 2 traditional bigs (While KG obviously can play big, he was used everywhere from SF to C in Minn. and definetely shouldn't be classified as 'traditional').
I always liked JJ more than Kleiza
Twitter - @thekid_it
I don't think our depth is that bad. Last year everyone was complaining about JJ because of his lack of consistency and tendency to think he's an all-star scorer. The organization really invested in him, and he basically told them he deserved more...well screw him. I mean, we traded a 1st rd pick for him, basically told him the starting SF spot was his to lose...and he lost it because he thought he was better than he is. James Johnson could be arguably the best defensive SF in the league if he wanted to, but he also is cut out to be the 5th option, maybe 4th at best, on offense, and needs to realize that. Maybe he needs to wash out of the league, like Anthony Parker and Alan Anderson before him, to learn what it means to play in the NBA and teach himself to use his skills the right way.
I like that Sacto didn't call a timeout there. Probably because they were out of timeouts, but if they had one and didn't use it, good move. Too many end of game timeouts in the NBA.
Oh, and what I mean by not hating our depth: Anderson has been a very solid pickup. He chucks it a bit, but his 3 pt shot is good enough, he tends to take it up a notch in 4th quarters, and is a very good defender. Ross, as he has become more and more consistent on D, has made it so he's definitely earned his minutes. Demar has been probably our most reliable player. Basically, Casey can expect solid games from all those guys on most nights, and doesn't need to deal with knucklehead type issues, or playing small (sorry Barbosa). That's much better than last year.
lol where did u hear that he smoked weed on the team plane? id like more info on that story haha
Also, Landry Fields is better than James Johnson
