Mizuno has an extended moment in the sun
Golf's biggest equipment makers dominated the news last week at the PGA Merchandise Show down in Orlando, but Mizuno held its ground with the biggest of the big boys thanks to three noteworthy developments:
--Last Sunday, Charles Howell III finished second in the Humana Challenge.
--On Wednesday, Mizuno announced that it had renewed its agreement with world No. 3 Luke Donald.
--On Friday came the news that the company had re-upped its deal with reigning LPGA Tour Player of the Year Stacy Lewis.
--And on Saturday, Mizuno staff ambassador Chris Wood bagged his first European Tour victory at the Commercial Bank Qatar Masters.
Donald doesn't play an entire bag of Mizuno clubs, but he does use the company's irons and wedges, and those clubs are the backbone of his steady short game. In fact, he provided feedback throughout the development of Mizuno's new MP-64 irons and MP-T4 wedges, to the point that Mizuno describes those clubs as being designed hand-in-hand with him.
Donald even visited the the plant in Hiroshima, Japan, where the clubs are forged, last November, and spent a little time with the man who grinds his clubs. While he was in Japan last fall, he won the Dunlop Phoenix, one of the biggest tournaments on the Japan Tour, and used those MP-64 irons and MP-T4 wedges in that victory.
Donald signed on with Mizuno back in 2003, and has earned 13 professional wins with that gear. He also played those Mizuno clubs during his red-hot 2011 and 2012 seasons, in which he held the world No. 1 position for a total of 56 weeks and topped the money lists on both the PGA Tour and European Tour in 2011.
"We've refined my Mizuno equipment in the last couple of seasons and I'm really happy with what I have in the bag right now, so it gives me great pleasure to extend this relationship," Donald said. "Mizuno is the most precise, incredible clubmaker out there, and I'm honored to represent this quality brand."
Donald's renewal never seemed to be seriously in doubt, but there was considerable speculation that Lewis might sign elsewhere. She began playing Mizuno gear in college, and last year led the LPGA Tour with four victories as she rose to No. 3 in the women's world rankings. She notched 16 top-10 finishes, more than any player on the 2012 LPGA Tour, and led the tour in birdies, eagles and rounds in the 60s.
"Since my freshman year at Arkansas, Mizuno has been my equipment manufacturer of choice," said Lewis. "Mizuno has helped me reach many of my goals thus far, and I'm looking forward to building on last year's momentum for another successful season."
Lewis hasn't unveiled her club set for 2013, but she ended 2012 with this configuration:
Driver: Mizuno JPX-800 (9 degrees of loft)
3-Wood: Mizuno MP (15 degrees)
17-Degree Hybrid: Mizuno MP CLK
4-9 Irons: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro
48-Degree Wedge: Mizuno JPX-800 Pro
52-Degree Wedge: Mizuno MP T-11
56-Degree Wedge: Mizuno MP T-11
60-Degree Wedge: Mizuno MP T-11
Putter: TaylorMade Ghost TM-110 Tour
Ball: Titleist Pro V1x
Wood jumped into the spotlight by tying for fifth as an amateur in the 2008 British Open and then coming in third in the 2009 British Open, and earned his spot on the European Tour at Q-School a few months later. He had struggled to win as a professional, though, before breaking through with a triumph in the Thailand Open last fall.
His victory in Qatar on Saturday was as dramatic as they come – he led after three rounds, then fell behind Sergio Garcia and George Coetzee before eagling the final hole to win by a shot. After a big drive on the par-5 18th hole, Wood hit a 6-iron 205 yards to within six feet of the hole, and drained the putt for the win. His set includes:
Driver: Mizuno MP-650 (8.5 degrees, Royal Precision Project X Black 7.0 shaft)
3-Wood: Ping G20 (15 degrees)
3-4 Irons: Mizuno MP-64 (Royal Precision Rifle 7.0 shafts)
5-9 Irons: Mizuno MP-69 (Royal Precision Rifle 7.0 shafts)
48-Degree Wedge: Mizuno MP-69 (Royal Precision Rifle 7.0 shaft)
52-Degree Wedge: MP-T4
56-Degree Wedge: MP-T4
60-Degree Wedge: MP-T4
Putter: Yes! Tracy Tour
Ball: Titleist Pro V1x
Other prominent players who use Mizuno gear include Jonathan Byrd, Marcel Siem, Mayu Hattori and Jiyai Shin.
And finally, if Tiger Woods closes out a win at the Farmers Insurance Open this afternoon as we all expect him to, the winners of the two big events worldwide this week will be Wood and Woods. That, obviously, has never happened before.

Chelsea office space puts businesses at the heart of one of the city's cultural cores. It is well-known by locals and tourists alike for its expressive and diverse culture, with more than 200 art galleries, nearly 2,000 options for food and drinks, and an array of both boutiques and big chains for shopping. For a neighborhood only a square mile in size, there's something to satisfy every taste in Chelsea.
Standout attractions include Chelsea Market, which attracts over 6 million visitors each year and was bought by Google's parent company Alphabet Inc in early 2018, and the High Line, a 1.45-mile urban oasis. Both destinations have played significant roles in the revitalized growth of Chelsea, and turned the neighborhood into one of the most in-demand submarkets for office space in New York City.
Chelsea Office Space | Lease Data & Trends
Chelsea is an ideal location for any business seeking to be at the heart of New York's creative and entrepreneurial core. The established arts scene along with SUNY's Fashion Institute of Technology attract an innovative and educated crowd with an average age of 25-40. Businesses have their pick of smaller offices in co-working spaces to luxurious, sprawling floors in brick and beam buildings.
Based on recent commercial leasing data, the average asking rent for Chelsea office space is nearly $78 per square foot, slightly below the Midtown South average of $82 per square foot. The 14 million square feet of Class A Chelsea office space rents for more than $95 per square foot. Conversely, the average rent in the 10 million square feet of Class B office space for lease is slightly less than $55 per square foot, among the lowest figures available in Manhattan. Overall, Chelsea features more than 20 million square feet of office space inventory, with nearly 900,000 square feet under development.
Tenants seeking even lower lease prices can explore office sublease options. These agreements are signed directly with current tenants, and tend to allow for less commitment than a traditional lease, where the norm is 3-5 years. However, office sublease do not offer the same assurances as working with a landlord does, so it's important to negotiate sublease terms with a broker.
Demand for Chelsea office space is high, and vacancy rates are among the lowest in the city. Given the steady job growth in New York, leasing activity and competition between landlords should continue to remain high. Reasonably priced and efficient offices will continue to attract the majority of demand, putting pressure on landlords to upgrade their properties, or offer competitive concessions packages.

What Our Brokers Say about Chelsea Office Space for Rent
While Chelsea has a smaller tech presence compared to the neighboring Flatiron District, the notable presence of Google and Twitter — along with corporate offices of IAC (designed by Frank Gehry at 555 W. 18th Street), YouTube, Roc Nation, Venmo, and Uber — make excellent company for those looking to make the move. One of the most recent companies to move to Chelsea is Netflix, who signed a five year, 11,592 square foot sublease from Twitter for their first New York office space in the fall of 2017.
Chelsea is easily accessible by residents of the five boroughs and nearby suburbs, thanks to several nearby public transit hubs, including Penn Station. Once in Chelsea, most everyday needs are capable of being met within a five-minute walk. In addition to the variety of foods Chelsea Market has to offer, our team recommends Sweets by CHLOE, The Donut Pub, Momofuku Noodle Bar, Chelsea Brewing Pub, La Sirena, Rocking Horse Cafe, Sullivan Street Bakery, Salinas, and The Red Cat. For more info on where to eat and drink in the neighborhood, check out our Chelsea Lunch and Coffee Guides.
Popular office buildings in Chelsea include 210 11th Avenue, 531 West 25th Street, 545 West 25th Street, 370 7th Avenue, and The Tate at 535 West 24th Street.
Chelsea Neighborhood History
Chelsea is one of the few Manhattan districts still named after the original estate, which grew into a hub for manufacturing companies. Arguably the most famous company was Nabisco, which was redeveloped into the Chelsea Market in 1998.
Industrialization in the 1850s took advantage of access to the Hudson River piers and led to the construction of numerous warehouses, factories, lumberyards, breweries, and tenements. Many of these original buildings have been redeveloped for new businesses and apartments. The Chelsea Historic District was designated in 1971 and last expanded in 1982.
Today, Chelsea is best known for its place at the center of the art world. The neighborhood boasts more than 200 art galleries of varying sizes, and their visitors are a huge source of revenue for local businesses. The galleries are another of Chelsea's many unique perks to local employees.
The High Line and New Redevelopment Projects
A major milestone in Chelsea's continued growth in popularity was the completion of the High Line, a linear park build on a disused train viaduct that runs from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street near the Javits Center. Most of the rest of the viaduct had been demolished in 1960, and was effectively abandoned in the early 1980's. Construction on the park began in 2006 and first opened to the public in 2009. An additional stretch near 10th avenue and 30th street will open in 2018.
The High Line's success has not only drawn foot traffic into the neighborhood, but served as inspiration to other cities looking to transform obsolete infrastructure into public space, and inspire adjacent real estate development.
Chelsea's residential and commercial real estate landscape continues to evolve, in part due to Google, WeWork, and the Hudson Yards Redevelopment Project. With projected completion in 2024, soon Chelsea will benefit from 16 skyscrapers containing more than 12,700,000 square feet of new office, residential, and retail space. The mix of businesses in Chelsea may begin to shift, as rent prices rise and demand for proximity to both Hudson Yards and the Flatiron District grows.
Re-imagine Your Chelsea Office Space
Chelsea has an abundance of inspiring office spaces that showcase endless possibilities for remodeling a workspace. In 2011, a 100,000 square foot warehouse building was purchased by British theater company Punchdrunk to create a five-story performance venue "The McKittrick Hotel," now home to the immersive, site-specific theatrical production Sleep No More, a staple of Chelsea's entertainment scene. Slightly less elaborate, Google's Chelsea office is filled with NYC-themed rooms and provides access to floors with ladders as well as elevators, the startup Outbrain is praised for its central conference room "The Fishbowl," and YouTube has permanent production sets available to their creators.
Getting Around Chelsea
Chelsea is listed among the top 20 most walkable areas in NYC. Walkers have easy access to the High Line and Chelsea Piers, although with the influx of tourists many locals caution against riding a bike along the piers. Bikers will still find incredible ease in getting around Chelsea and have access to bike sharing with CitiBike.
Commuters have no shortage of options to get to work. In addition to commuting through Penn Station, employees can take the A, C, and E trains on Eighth Avenue, 1, 2, and 3 trains along Seventh Avenue, or F and M trains on Sixth Avenue. Chelsea is also accessible by bus routes M7, M10, M11, M12, M14, and M23, and houses the main entrance to the 34th Street/Hudson Yards station for the 7 train. In addition to access via Amtrak and NJ Transit, commuters can easily access the PATH trains to Jersey City and Hoboken.

Fear of Having to Cough In Public
I have a very strange fear that is having a major impact on my life. I know it is not normal but I can`t make myself stop feeling this way.
It is a completely irrational fear of coughing in front of other people. This is a big problem because I have asthma which makes me cough probably more than most people. (I do have an asthma dr and I do take meds for asthma.)
I think I even know why I have this fear. My parents were kind of ignorant, and when I used to cough when I was growing up they thought I was doing it on purpose to get attention (thats what their dr told them) so they used to punish me for it. I learned when I was very little to hold my breath, hide, do anything I needed to do in order not to let anybody see me coughing.
Now that is a habit and I can`t break it. I have a real fear of coughing when other people can see or hear it. This has made me lose several jobs (I stay home from work too much, not because I`m lazy or faking it, it is because of this irrational fear of coughing in front of other people) and I`m about to lose another one. I am becoming a hermit who never goes anywhere or does anything with other people. I know that is not normal.
I need to get over this. How can I do that?
What a difficult history and situation that you describe. Three thoughts come to mind. First, although the issue seems narrow, the impact is wide. I recommend that you consider an outpatient evaluation with a psychiatrist or your primary care doctor to assess the role of medications for you. Second, you may want to consider clinical hypnosis or biofeedback. For the former, consult the Society for Clinical Hypnosis. Max Shapiro, PhD has been active with organization for years. Third, I recommend considering medical acupuncture. To find a practitioner near you, consult the Website for the Helms Medical Institute (http://www.hmieducation.com/) Best of luck.

Average net debt
Average net debt is calculated as the average daily net bank borrowings of the Group, derived from the Group's automated banking system. Net debt at a period end is calculated as the sum of the net bank borrowings of the Group, derived from the cash ledgers and accounts in the balance sheet.
Billings and estimated net new billings
Billings comprise the gross amounts billed to clients in respect of commission-based / fee-based income together with the total of other fees earned. Net new billings represent the estimated annualised impact on billings of new business gained from both existing and new clients, net of existing client business lost. The estimated impact is based upon initial assessments of the clients' media budgets, which may not necessarily result in actual billings of the same amount.
Constant currency
The Group uses US dollar-based, constant currency models to measure performance. These are calculated by applying budgeted 2010 exchange rates to local currency reported results for the current and prior year. This gives a US dollar – denominated income statement and balance sheet which exclude any variances attributable to foreign exchange rate movements.
Free cash flow
Free cash flow is calculated as headline operating profit before non cash charges for share-based incentive plans, depreciation of property, plant and equipment and amortisation of other intangible assets, including dividends received from associates, interest received, investment income received, proceeds from the issue of shares, and proceeds from the disposal of property, plant and equipment, less corporation and overseas tax paid, interest and similar charges paid, dividends paid to non–controlling interests in subsidiary undertakings, purchases of property, plant and equipment and purchases of other intangible assets.
Gross margin/gross profit
The Group uses the terms gross margin and gross profit interchangeably. Headline gross margin margin is calculated as Headline PBIT (defined below) as a percentage of gross profit.
Headline earnings
Headline PBT less taxation (excluding net deferred tax credit in relation to the amortisation of acquired intangible assets and other goodwill items) and non–controlling interests.
Headline operating profit/Headline PBIT
Profit before finance income/costs and revaluation of financial instruments, taxation, investment gains/losses and write–downs, goodwill impairment and other goodwill write–downs, amortisation and impairment of acquired intangible assets and share of exceptional gains/losses of associates.
Headline PBT
Profit before taxation, investment gains/losses and write–downs, goodwill impairment and other goodwill write–downs, amortisation and impairment of acquired intangible assets, share of exceptional gains/losses of associates and gains/losses arising from the revaluation of financial instruments.
Operating margin
Headline operating profit as a percentage of revenue.
Pro forma ('like–for–like')
Pro forma comparisons are calculated as follows: current year, constant currency actual results (which include acquisitions from the relevant date of completion) are compared with prior year, constant currency actual results, adjusted to include the results of acquisitions for the commensurate period in the prior year. The Group uses the terms 'pro forma' and 'like-for-like' interchangeably.

·····Subchapter 5a - The Bloodwraith
[[Starting with a minor OOC note.
Things in-game are hitting a point where it's appropriate to segue into another plotline, taking loose ends from earlier stories. Thus, this thread starts with a change of venue, though it won't have the plane-hopping yuan-ti that once plagued this story. Read way back in the OOC thread if you have no idea what I just brought up.
On that note, here we go.]]
The City of Tarin
The sun rises over the city of Tarin, first touching on the green-and-blue flag flying on the castle's highest spire, then working its way down to battlements, rooftops, and ledges. Well before the shadows have retreated into the alleys, the city wakes up to another late autumn day. Dockworkers haul crates and pallets of grains, cloth, metal, and other goods onto ships, while merchants harrange them, eager to be on their way before the first freeze. Street-vendors frantically hawk their wares to all passersby, hoping to eke out a few more coins before the city finally shuts down for the winter.
In a run-down tavern near the docks, a dwarf listlessly tacks a notice to a signboard, hardly bothering to tap the nail hard enough to drive it into the wood. As he brings the hammer back with dramatic -- yet deliberate -- slowness, it is taken from his hand. Turning around, he glares at his companion, an elf garbed in flowing, emerald robes. Beard bristling, he growls, "Gimme that back."
"Certainly, Kilak," the elf sneers, "as soon as I'm done with it." Leaning over the dwarf, he taps the nail home with one deft strike. As he returns the hammer, he says, "We're probably not going to get a job before the cold sets in, but the Persistent Blade has never been known for just laying around. This is the last time we're putting out a request for local work -- if we don't get a response in a week, we're taking the next ship south, to Ardon. At least you'll be warm there."
The dwarf harrumphs at the notion that he dislikes being cold. "I'll have you know--"
"That you lived on a mountaintop? Oh, right: you lived IN a mountaintop. Not the same." The elf puts a piece of parchment in the dwarf's hand. "Tell you what. Tack that on the door of the Trumpet, and I'll buy you an ale."
Somewhat mollified, the dwarf follows his companion.
* * *
Dark crimson robes conceal his features as the priest makes his way through the crowded marketplace. Moving so that he avoids brushing against the throngs, he walks with a steady, even pace. Just before rounding a corner, he pauses, noticing a piece of parchment tacked onto a nearby wall. Leaning closer, he examines it.
After a brief moment, he turns into the alley, walking just a little faster. Looks like another adventuring group is abandoning the field for warmer climes, he thinks. Good. One less hindrance to worry about, once the first snow hits.
Stopping midway down the alley, he pulls a brick out of the wall and sticks his hand into the gap. He pulls a metal cable concealed behind the brick, and replaces it just as the wall nearby slides back and away, revealing a passage leading down into darkness. He slips in just as it begins sliding shut.
After several steps down through darkness, he comes around a corner to a torchlit hallway. He follows it to the end, where it opens into a large chamber, supported by columns. At its far end, a large, muscular human sits on the floor, tracing his fingers through a dark puddle of liquid.
Ignoring the body hanging on a scaffold in front of them, he speaks to the one sitting on the floor. "It's almost time for the Gathering to begin. Prepare yourself."
Pushing himself up from the floor, the man pushes a lock of black hair away from his face. It falls back forward, failing to improve the tangled, scraggly mess atop his head. His square jaw would be impressive if it didn't have several months of growth on it, or if he'd taken the time to trim it. His bloodshot grey eyes look at the body twitching on the scaffold, but don't seem to register it; they look more like the eyes of someone who doesn't want to see.
For a moment, he just stands there. Losing his patience, the priest barks a command in an infernal tongue, and the tall man jerks, as if stung by a whip.
He raises a hand toward the hanging body, almost reluctantly. As he does, his body starts to glisten darkly in the torchlight, as if his sweat were changing -- and then it begins to drift away from him, swirling around him with increasing speed. Briefly, he is completely obscured by the spinning cloud of droplets, then seems to have been completely absorbed by them, becoming nothing more than a dark maelstrom.
The swirling mass hesitates again, until the priest barks another command in that alien tongue, then it leaps forward, completely surrounding the body. It lets out a long, anguished scream -- a cry that speaks not only of the body's death, but that of the soul as well. Abruptly, the cry is cut off, and the spinning mist suddenly resolves itself into a humanoid figure. Stray droplets continue to circle it, forming themselves into razor-sharp shards.
As the priest approaches, the bloodwraith seems to withdraw, pulling itself back into the form of a muscular human again -- though his eyes are more alive, and he seems to have been cleaned up considerably.
With a smile in his voice, the priest speaks. "Well done, Calabron. You may yet outdo your brother."
Several days had passed since the dwarf Kilak got his entire group into trouble at the Trumpet for starting a drunken brawl. The damages were been paid in full, however -- mostly out of Kilak's pocket -- and the Persistent Blade had regained their status as the 'residents' of the popular inn. Some might say they're actually the 'squatters' there, but no one's willing to say that in their presence, at least.
As the bustle of feeding the occupants for the evening dies down, the entire adventuring company gathers around the central table -- a large, round table, apparently carved from a single oak tree -- to discuss their prospects.
Their leader, a handsome dark-haired man in his late thirties, starts off with a simple question. "Any leads today?"
The elven wizard, Laeris, is the first to respond. "Nothing. There doesn't seem to be anything requiring heroics around here anymore."
One of the party's two half-elves, the archer Maldrinon, chimes in next. "Have any of you seen any of our notices? They seem to have vanished right after we put them up. Kori, something's wrong here, and I don't like it."
Korianous, the leader, shakes his head. "You're just being touchy, Mal. I know you put a lot of work into those notices, but they haven't gotten us any further than our own leg-work." With a sigh, he adds, "I don't think we're going to get anything here. Let's book passage on the next ship south in the morning, get out of here while we're still in coin."
As has happened every night in the Trumpet, a heated argument quickly flares up between the members of the adventuring company. It's always ended with someone making a crude joke of some sort and degenerating into friendly name-calling, so none of the regular patrons pay much attention to them. They've been doing this for nearly a week, after all.
* * *
Dothavaar Salvatori liked his work. He found a grisly satisfaction in the end results -- after all, he had developed the ritual and the devices that created bloodwraiths -- and he also found an almost meditative calm when preparing the tools of his trade.
To most of the people of Tarin and vicinity, he was just an artificer, a creator of minor magical trinkets and the occasional item of worth. To the members of the Concordance, however, he was only a few steps down from the top of the hierarchy, one of the most powerful blood magi anyone had known.
Death had a way of doing that.
His workshop had been blasted to flinders by an adventuring wizard trying to destroy wererats; the wizard had resorted to using a fireball spell to annihilate a group of them that were in the adjacent building. The wizard had misplaced the spell, however, and his shop had been caught in the blast. Had Dothavaar been expecting such, he wouldn't have been standing in that corner.
He didn't stay dead for long; one of the group's members was a cleric with powerful enough ties to her patron to bring his soul back from the depths, repair the damage to his body, and rejoin the two. She did so, left him a tidy sum to repair his shop, and left without ever telling him her name.
He didn't care. Something about the process of being hauled back into the world of the living woke up powers he'd never known. Powers that had been in his blood all his life, looking for just the right spark to set them aflame.
His efforts to understand his newfound abilities led him to the Concordance, a group of priests and wizards with sinister goals (most of which they quite simply refused to discuss, other than to imply that they were not 'in synch' with the city's). Upon learning of his ability to control his own blood and infuse it with arcane power, he quickly gained prestige within the secret cabal. His discovery of the process that created bloodwraiths -- half-undead fiends that could consciously control their vital essence -- gave him a level of control within the Concordance that rivaled its leaders'.
If only he could control the creations.
Oh, his first one was easy enough; once he'd undergone the transformation, the warrior Pavel Laspeera had taken to the role with vigor. He even made it clear that he did so in a misguided attempt to outdo his brother. It only made sense to bring the two together; especially among the bloodwraiths, ties of blood are difficult to break.
The other, a paladin of Heironeous named Calabron, proved to be a much more difficult case. Whenever he could, he shed his facade, trying to bring his appearance back to normal. Getting him to perform at nearly any task took words of command, and it was requiring more powerful compulsions as time went by. Although it was impossible to reverse the transformation, the former paladin seemed determined to try, or to deal with it and be... normal. The thought angered Dothavaar to no end.
Now, the Concordance needed to get the humanoids of the northern mountains mobilized for their attack on the city. Over a dozen magi had already left for the trip, but the last group -- including Dothavaar's own superior -- were insisting on taking bloodwraiths along. All four of them.
It took him nearly a week, but he'd finally managed to find a way around Calabron's block. Resenting his own actions, he'd presented the artifact -- a crystal pendant, with a drop of the paladin's blood suspended in the center -- to the High Mage. "This will allow you to completely dominate the complainer," he'd explained. "But it will only work ONCE, and only for a week. And if it ever breaks, the spell will backlash, and he will turn on you. ALL of you."
That last part was completely avoidable, but Dothavaar was incensed about having to give his creations to an effort he wasn't even being allowed to join in.

Ted Nugent On His Future At The Washington Times
Blog ››› ››› MATT GERTZ & JOE STRUPP
National Rifle Association board member Ted Nugent is the newest weekly columnist for the discredited birther conspiracy website WorldNetDaily. Asked how this will affect his relationship with The Washington Times, Nugent side-stepped the question, telling Media Matters, "I am so busy going places I never pay attention to leaving."
After contributing 184 opinion pieces to the Times since May 2010, according to a Nexis search, he has not authored a piece for the paper since January 1 -- a rare but not unheard-of lapse for the verbose rocker.
An un-bylined February 6 WorldNetDaily article states that Nugent is "an exclusive WND columnist," and features praise from CEO Joseph Farah:
Exuding a love of liberty, guns and America that elicits either delight or dismay - depending on your perspective - the outspoken rock showman, humanitarian and TV host Ted Nugent debuts today as an exclusive WND columnist.
Nugent's column, entitled "The Ted Offensive," will appear on the news site each Thursday.
"Ted Nugent rocks," said Joseph Farah, editor and chief executive officer of WND. "And I don't mean just as a music star. He rocks as an outspoken entertainer who is so politically incorrect. We're honored that he would choose WND to sound off about what's on his mind every week."
In his first column for WND, Nugent lashed out against Obama, Biden, and Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) for supporting an assault weapons ban, calling them "socialists and Marxists" who "don't care about mass murder" but instead want "their boots on our necks." He accuses Obama of using "Rule 10 and 12" of Saul Alinsky's "12 Rules For Radicals" to promote the ban.
WND regularly publishes a wide array of conspiracy theories, particularly ones related to President Obama's birth certificate. The WND "Superstore" sells an array of birther paraphernalia, including Jerome Corsi's WND-published tome "Where's the Birth Certificate?" and his follow-up e-book, "Where's the REAL Birth Certificate?"
"We knew all along that the brilliant minds at WND deserved me," said Nugent when reached by email to discuss how he had landed the WND gig, "but now that our sacred hunting season is winding down, I decided the time was right to unleash the ultimate self-evident truth logic beast upon an unsuspecting public. America needs me now more than ever."
Nugent said that he was attracted to the website's audience of "bold, straight talk truth-logic celebrants with whom I share honest American common sense."
Asked if he will continue to author regular columns for the Times, Nugent said that he will "still contribute my writings to various websites, blogs and publications, but my WND columns will be the first weekly endeavor." He did not specifically address whether he will continue writing for the paper.
The Times' response to whether Nugent will continue to write for the paper has been similarly vague. In a series of emails with Media Matters, Washington Times executive editor David Jackson said that while the paper has been seeking "new voices" for its Opinion section and that this would "bring some changes and additions to the usual lineup," to his knowledge "no one has been fired or quit." He also sought to distinguish Nugent's role at the paper from other regular contributors, writing:
By my definition, we have very few columnists, by which I mean people we promote such as Charlie Hurt and Joe Curl and [Wesley Pruden], for that matter, who run regularly on predictable schedules. But we have many contributors, who appear occasionally, not necessarily on a guaranteed day, when they have something thoughtful to contribute. Whether they are columnists or contributors, we expect them to give us an exclusive piece, at least against our nearest competitors -- an expectation that I'm sure other media organizations have as well.
Nugent has much stronger ties to the Times than Jackson suggests. The paper's website identifies Nugent as a staff member:
He is one of two individuals to be featured on the Times' Opinion section drop-down menu:
And he has his own landing page within the site's Opinion section featuring his work:
Nugent had previously been criticized for Times columns that urged the suspension of the voting privileges of "any American who is on welfare" and stated, "I'm beginning to wonder if it would have been best had the South won the Civil War." Last year he also accused the "Obama gang" of treason, and drew Secret Service scrutiny after he told an NRA crowd that "If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year."
Now Nugent will be bringing that rhetoric to WND. "There is no shortage of cockroaches that need spotlighting," he explained to Media Matters, "and it is a target rich environment for we the people to do our job."

Nobody can accuse Dino Cortopassi of not putting his money where his mouth is.
Nobody can accuse Dino Cortopassi of not putting his money where his mouth is.
The prominent San Joaquin County agriculturalist spent $200,000 pressing his case that California's vast water delivery system is to blame for bringing mud and silt into the Delta, material that then settled onto the bottom of waterways reducing their capacity to carry high flows.
Cortopassi's lawsuit was an attempt to force the state to dredge the Mokelumne River along his Canal Ranch property. He spent $3 million reinforcing Mokelumne levees after the last significant flood there in 2006.
It is unclear if Cortopassi will appeal a 57-page ruling by Judge Linda Lofthus siding with the state argument that upstream hydraulic mining caused the silt buildup in addition to a number of floods.
Thumbs up
Pacific Coast Producers is in the middle of a $23 million expansion of its Lodi operations. The 474,000-square-foot building going up will increase by about 50 percent the capacity of PCP's operations there.
The grower-owned cooperative provides canned fruit and tomato products to private-label and institutional customers and needs millions of square feet of warehouse space to hold products processed during about 10 weeks in the summer and fall and distributed over the rest of the year.
In Lodi, PCP has about 120 year-round workers at its cannery. That payroll increases to about 1,100 during the summer packing season.
Thumbs up
The lasting image - for better or worse - of Mayor Anthony Silva's first State of the City address last week undoubtedly will be of him donning a shiny silver helmet of the Roman variety and hoisting a battle mace of the medieval variety.
Ignoring the anachronism, Silva left his audience wondering if they should shout "Hail Caesar" or simply pity the mayor as a misdirected Don Quixote dreaming his impossible dream.
Look for caption writing contests for photos of that unfortunate moment - remember the helmeted Michael Dukakis aboard a tank? - that will live on in the Internet ether, offering years of fodder for Stockton bashers.
Thumbs down
Good news on the employment front, where the county's jobless rate in April fell to 12.9 percent, well below the 15.5 percent reported in April 2012.
The county added about 3,100 jobs over the last year, according to figures reported Friday by the state Employment Development Department. When you consider just nonfarm employment, the county actually gained 3,600 jobs.
The biggest single gain, about 1,600 jobs, came in trade, transportation and utilities followed about a 700 job gain in construction.
To be sure, we still have double-digit unemployment here and our jobless rate is still well above that of the state (8.5 percent) and nation (7.1 percent), but the numbers are steadily moving in the right direction.
Thumbs up
Whose numbers are right? That's the question swirling around the state Capitol after Legislative Analyst Mac Taylor projected state revenues Friday that are $3.2 billion higher than those projected by Gov. Jerry Brown in his revised budget proposal released three days earlier.
In his budget plan, Brown targets much of the spending for education. Lawmakers - and it will be Brown's own Democratic Party that will decide this, since they hold supermajorities in the Assembly and Senate - were pushing for more spending even before Taylor released his figures. Now they're salivating.
Lawmakers have until June 15 to pass a budget. It will be an interesting three weeks, especially with the prospect of more money available and many crying out for additional resources.

Staff writer
Building and racing demolition derby cars is more than a hobby for one Florence family; it is a legacy.
Dustin Looney has been building demolition cars with his dad, Terry Looney, since he was 16. Now at the age of 23 he can practically put a whole car together by himself, but he still enjoys working with his dad.
"It makes it fun," he said. "My dad and uncle did it as kids. They passed it to my brother, Matt Druse, who passed it to me."
Several nephews and Druses son are now interested in the family hobby. Looney said his dad builds the engine and front end, family friend Keith Ottensmeier welds, and Looney does everything else.
"It's something we like to pass down," he said. "I have friends I build them with, it's fun."
The Looneys build their cars from scratch, starting with a frame, usually from some type of Ford or Lincoln. First they tilt the front end down, to better absorb impacts from hits.
"Most Ford models are built with their front end at a slight upward angle," he said.
After reinforcing the frame and axles, they gut the car's body, take out the seats, gas tank, and all the glass, and add safety bars so the car will not crush the driver when rammed during competitions.
"Roll bars aren't required, but they're highly encouraged," Looney said. "We install them in all our cars."
Apart from the roll cage, there are bars welded over where the windshield would go to protect the driver, as well as a halo bar that goes across the top in case the car gets flipped on its top. The engine is placed inside a steel cage to protect it from hits. A small gas tank is mounted inside the car inside a protected cage to keep it from being hit.
"Rules say you also have to mount your battery inside the car and there must be a hole in the hood in case of fire," he said.
All the vehicles doors are welded shut, so Looney has to crawl in and out of the driver side window.
Looney has competed in eight races this year with his current car, he said most cars only last one or two derbies.
"Most people think the old iron cars are the way to go, but I think the cars we run can be built to be just as tough and last as long as an iron one," he said. "I've been in the finals in every race except two with my current car.
"It's a lot of work and money to build these cars," he said. "We probably put at least $5,000 in the engine alone."
The engine and transmission have to be rebuilt every year. Looney has rebuilt the engine in his current car three times this year.
"Demolition derbies are not easy on any part of the car," he said. "We push them way past where a normal car can go. That's why they need to be rebuilt, so they're tougher."
He has never been injured in a demolition derby, but has had a couple cars catch fire.
"I broke a guys nose in the Hillsboro derby a couple years ago, and I've been hit so hard this year it shoved my metal frame and dented my gas tank," he said. "That's all a part of the derby. You take some pretty big hits."
Looney is currently rebuilding a new demolition car from scratch to compete in Amarillo, Texas in a month with some friends.
"I usually try to only race in state, but they asked me to join their team and, well, I'm going," Looney said.
Looney said he was lucky to find a car to build for the race. With metal prices so high, prices for cars to build have skyrocketed.
"You used to be able to pick one up for a couple hundred, now if you can find one for that it's a steal," he said. "A lot of cars sell for $400 or $600 today."
For this reason, Looney tries to recycle everything he can out of his old demolition car.
"I'll basically gut my current one and use all the working parts, motor, tires and everything I can in the new one," he said. "The body on my old one is still good so I'll probably reuse it next year."
Looney is a mechanic at Cardie Oil Co. He enjoys spending his days working on cars, he said.
"People ask if I get burnt out, I really don't. It's something I like and it keeps me out of trouble. I get off work and come home and work late on my own cars," he said.

4th Anniversary for Newest Oregon Wilderness
BEND, Ore. – This weekend marks the fourth anniversary of the creation of Oregon's newest wilderness areas. They include the Badlands near Bend, and Spring Basin near the John Day River in north central Oregon.
The Badlands encompass 29,000 acres and are popular with hikers and horseback riders, with 50 miles of trails through the stark remnants of an ancient volcano.
Four years ago, David Eddleston, manager of Friends of the Oregon Badlands, says he was part of a group of volunteers and Bureau of Land Management workers pulling up old fence posts in the area to donate as firewood for the poor when someone's cell phone rang.
"We received a phone call that President Obama had actually signed the bill, creating wilderness," he recalls. "So, I think we're probably the only group in the United States that went into a Wilderness Study Area – and we hiked out of a fully declared wilderness! I think we made history that day."
True to its name, Spring Basin comes to life in the spring, with carpets of colorful wildflowers that attract hikers, climbers and photographers to its canyons and hilltops.
The wilderness area itself is less than 6,400 acres, but Jefferson Jacobs, wilderness stewardship coordinator of the Oregon Natural Desert Association, says tribal-run lands that also have some protections surround it.
"Spring Basin is a really neat example of conservation where one size doesn't fit all," he says. "Some may have grazing on it – some may not. Some is open to vehicles – some is not. But it is all protected, in one way or another."
In all of Oregon's wilderness and conservation areas, volunteers put in thousands of hours, in partnership with the federal agencies that manage them. Eddleston says with budget cutbacks, there's been plenty to do.
"Removing obsolete barbed-wire fence, maintaining of trails and trailheads, installing signs, re-installing vandalized signs," he says, "and outreach programs, to have people let the light of wilderness into their souls."
In all, Oregon gained a dozen new wilderness areas as part of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act of 2009, including Soda Mountain near Ashland, Copper Salmon in the Siskiyou National Forest, and eight areas in the vicinity of Mount Hood.
Nationwide, 2 million acres were designated in nine states.

Lindsay Lohan is quickly becoming the girl who cried "comeback" — but she swears this time she's serious about getting her act together.
The 26-year-old Liz & Dick actress opens up in the new issue of Us Weekly about repeatedly hitting bottom and trying to work her way back up to the top amid legal woes and personal drama.
"I want to be known as an actress, not a troubled starlet," she told Us Weekly reporter Jennifer Peros during a sitdown interview in Los Angeles. "People can think what they want, and the only thing I can do is prove them wrong."
Easier said than done. Over the last several years, the former child star has endured a seemingly endless string of public humiliations, including but not limited to five stints in rehab, six arrests, multiple career setbacks, and countless family fights, some of which culminated in frantic calls to the police. But Lohan says she's a better person — and a better actress — for all of it. Even the 20,274 minutes of jail time.
"[I regret] nothing, because then I wouldn't have been able to cry in scenes at the drop of a hat," she explains to Us. "I have it tattooed: LIVE WITHOUT REGRETS. I'm not saying I wanted to go to a jail cell, but I've drawn from all of it."
For much more from Lindsay Lohan — including what she learned from rehab and community service, plus her plans for kids, love, and the future — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

A few highlights and notes from Friday's minicamp practice before Tom Cable addresses the press at 2 p.m.:
— Solid first practice from first-round draft pick Darrius Heyward-Bey, although he was taken to school on one route by cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. Asomugha said later Heyward-Bey had telegraphed the play with his eyes. Heyward-Bey said he looked forward to more chances to compete against the best.
Heyward-Bey looked smooth and natural catching the ball in drills against no defense (thankfully). His best play in a team session came on a deep sideline route in which he adjusted under an underthrown pass from Bruce Gradkowski and hauled it in some 40 yards downfield over Darrick Brown.
It was the kind of play a football player makes, but a sprinter doesn't.
— The Day 1 starting offensive line for the Raiders: Mario Henderson at left tackle, Robert Gallery at left guard, John Wade at center, Cooper Carlisle at right guard, Cornell Green at right tackle and Tony Stewart at tight end.
The backfield and receivers on the first snaps were Chaz Schilens and Heyward-Bey at wide receiver, JaMarcus Russell at quarterback, Darren McFadden at running back and Luke Lawton at fullback.
— The second team offensive line was Khalif Barnes at left tackle, Mark Wilson at left guard, Chris Morris at center, Marcus Johnson at right guard and Erik Pears at right tackle.
— The offense, with passing game coordinator Ted Tollner, didn't look much different than it did in the early days last year, although keep in mind the Raiders aren't layering in everything on Day 1.
Lots of rolls and reverse rolls, lots of short passes over the middle to tight ends. Not much downfield. Receivers for the most part were sure-handed, although Stewart had an outright drop.
— Russell did little of consequence in team sessions in the passing game, mostly throwing short and playing it safe. His first medium-range throw went high and way outside toward rookie Louis Murphy, with Tollner crediting the rookie for his route and telling him the pass was offline.
On the seven-on-seven play in which Asomugha read Heyward-Bey and broke up a pass, Russell's ensuing pass misfired to Johnnie Lee Higgins in the deep middle, with Stanford Routt defending.
Russell did have a nice touch on a sideline throw to Jonathan Holland some 20 yards downfield.
— Snapshot of backup quarterback Jeff Garcia _ can't execute a deep range out pattern on one throw, then hits McFadden out of the backfield with a feathery touch on a swing pass on the next.
— Friday's practice saw linebacker Ricky Brown, who had offseason sports hernia surgery, getting his snaps at middle linebacker rather than strong side linebacker.
— Jon Alston got reps with the starters at strong sidelinebacker, along with Kirk Morrison in the middle and Thomas Howard on the weak side. The starting cornerbacks were Nnamdi Asomugha and Chris Johnson, with Hiram Eugene and Tyvon Branch at safety.
With Derrick Burgess out, Trevor Scott was at left end, with Tommy Kelly and Gerard Warren inside and Jay Richardson on the right.
— Warren deflected a Gradkowski pass which was intercepted by Howard, with a defender chirping about the "small-ass quarterback."
— Plenty of nice running plays by McFadden, Justin Fargas and Michael Bush, all getting relatively equal work, against defenders that aren't allowed to hit or tackle.
— Draft pick Stryker Sulak of Missouri was playing with his hand down as a defensive end on both sides, but there could be plays in which he eventually plays as a linebacker, he said. Slade Norris worked as a strong sidelinebacker with non-starting units.
— Andrew Walter got little to no work in team sessions behind Russell, Garcia and Gradkowski.
— No sign of the "other" Chris Johnson, the rookie free agent wide receiver who was reported as signed by the Tennessean. Johnson, the cornerback whose signing was never announced, was of course on the field and playing.
More to come later after Tom Cable's press briefing and lunch break . . .

It's a seller's market
Berton Hamamoto
If you didn't buy in 2012, you may have missed the boat, according to realtor Berton Hamamoto of Property Profiles Inc.
Hamamoto was one of several speakers at the annual forecast breakfast put on by BOMA (Building Office Management Association), CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member), and IREM (Institute of Real Estate Management) to talk about the different aspects of real estate and predictions for the year. Since Hamamoto's section was specifically about residential real estate, I'll focus on his remarks here.
"The market goes in cycles. Prices increase, then it works its way out into a seller's market, then goes into a lull again," Hamamoto says. "We are showing signs that we are off and running into that price increase market."
He says the seller's market is still in its beginning stages, but there's a lot more "leg" to this market because you don't see any new inventory—so supply won't meet the demand.
"You often see a lot of new projects coming out at once so it meets the demand (and then some) with oversupply," he explains. "With no—or relatively few—new developments, you don't have a lot of supply for the foreseeable future, except some of the ones in Ewa that are planned for the future.
"There's nothing to absorb the demand that's out there. Oahu is definitely in the beginning stages of a sellers' market," Hamamoto adds. "Buyers haven't bought into that yet, but it's coming—they can no longer negotiate a lower price when buying a home. All the reasonably priced properties out there are selling in a couple days, so if you're still in the market to buy, buy quickly.
Aside from inventory pressure, prices are rising quickly, making it more difficult for buyers in the market.
In the last market, a $250,000 condo would jump $3,000 to $5,000 with each sale. You might see a $15,000 price increase for a (kind of) unit by the end of the year," Hamamoto explains, but warns that prices may jump $10,000 to $15,000 per sale.
He showed an example of a generic, cookie-cutter home in Montecito/Tuscany in Ewa Beach: In 2009, during a bad economy, a 1,276-square-foot home there sold for about $340,000. In 2010, a similar unit sold there for $370,000, and in 2012 that model sold for $410,000.
"If you bought in 2009 and sold in 2012, you would have made about $70,000—in the worst recession market in one of the worst places on Oahu," he says.
What about people like me, who only own one piece of the rock? Hamamoto says owners will see their equity grow and reap benefits of the marketplace without having to do anything.
"If you knew the stock market was definitely going to go up in the next year, wouldn't you put money into it? Same for the real estate market," he says, predicting a 10 to 15 percent increase in prices over the next year, as a blended median.
I knew I should have bought a unit in The Cove Waikiki.

Searching for an ACA shout-out
This time, President Barack Obama is going to have to actually talk about Obamacare in his State of the Union address.
No more touch-the-base-and-keep-running treatments, the way he's handled it the past couple of years. This time, he'll be expected to linger on base a bit, at least long enough to acknowledge the launch of the biggest domestic achievement of his presidency — and do it in the least awkward way possible.
Story Continued Below
That's the consensus of Democratic strategists, health care experts, pollsters and crisis-management experts, all of whom will have reasons to listen closely when Obama brings up the health care law on Jan. 28. It will be Obama's most high-profile address since the clunky rollout began, and although it has come a long way since the worst days of October, it's still not enough for him to say, "Nailed it."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama plans 'optimistic' State of the Union)
Instead, Obama will have to find an uplifting message about the law that doesn't imply that everything's suddenly back on track. The most he can say, based on the latest developments, is that "it's moving back toward the track," said Len Nichols, director of the Center for Health Policy Research and Ethics at George Mason University.
The federal enrollment website, HealthCare.gov, is working much better than it was in October, and sign-ups for private health coverage sped up dramatically in December. Now 3 million Americans have selected private health insurance plans, and there's time for one more wave before enrollment ends March 31. And CGI, the main contractor on the botched website, has been shown the door.
( WATCH: POLITICO's issue-by-issue SOTU preview)
That doesn't mean the Obama administration can put its fire extinguishers away though. The age mix isn't right yet with too many older adults and not enough younger ones. The early sign-ups in the exchanges may not include a lot of actual uninsured people, although some have probably been added through Medicaid. Insurers are still waiting for the "back end" of the website, the part that handles their payments, to be built.
And HealthCare.gov's Facebook page is loaded with complaints about enrollment problems, like customers who say they couldn't get any proof of coverage from their insurance companies, couldn't get coverage for their kids or are bouncing back and forth between the website and insurance call centers to try to resolve errors.
( WATCH: Turn the Table: State of the Union predictions)
The bottom line: Obama needs a speech that rallies the faithful without losing credibility with the rest of the country.
There's actually a fairly easy formula, according to the strategists and health care analysts, and it doesn't require a radical departure from what Obama has already said about the law. He needs to say that millions of people have already signed up for coverage — though he shouldn't overstate how many. He should say that millions more who already have health coverage have gotten new benefits, like preventive care with no copayments. He has acknowledged the bad rollout, but tell the law's most enthusiastic supporters that "we've turned the corner."
( Also on POLITICO: Backstage SOTU peek on Instagram)
Most of all, Democratic strategists say, he has to revive his message that "we're not going back."
"I don't think he is going to try and resell that everything is perfect, but I would remind people that we can't go back to a time when insurance companies were running the health care system and deciding who gets to participate," said Democratic pollster John Anzalone. "No more getting denied coverage because of pre-existing conditions, no more being priced out of the marketplace because of DNA (pre-existing conditions), no more lifetime limits, no more having to file bankruptcy because a family has a medical emergency."
Obama has said all of that before, but now that people are actually getting health coverage and other benefits, Democrats say the reminder is more important than ever.
( Also on POLITICO: State of the Union: Response mania)
"Americans do not like having their rights taken away. And they do not like the idea of the GOP taking away their newfound health care rights," said Paul Begala, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton.
Health care didn't occupy a lot of time in Obama's last three State of the Union addresses since the law was signed. In 2011, Obama acknowledged that the new House Republican majority hated the law, said it can always be improved but vowed never to go back to the days when insurance companies could turn people down because of pre-existing conditions. In 2012 and 2013, Obamacare was reduced to a walk-on role — a couple of quick sentences, and that was it.


text: Japan enacts rules to expand tax-free re-organizations in 2017 tax reform Tax Alert Share this 15 May 2017 New legislation concerning tax-free reorganizations, one of the most notable changes in the Japanese government's proposal for the 2017 tax reform, has been enacted. Under the new legislation, passed on March 27, 2017, the scope of transactions qualifying as tax-free reorganizations has been expanded to include certain types of spinoffs, which historically have been considered taxable transactions. In addition, the ownership requirements for certain intra-group demergers have also been relaxed, making it easier for multinationals to meet the requirements for tax-free treatment. As enacted, the amendments concerning qualified spinoffs will be applicable on or after April 1, 2017, and those concerning the relaxed requirement for intra-group demergers will be applicable on or after October 1, 2017. Key Features A demerger that satisfies certain requirements (ie, a qualified demerger) is tax-free to the transferor and its shareholders. Accordingly, capital gains (and losses) are not recognized by the transferor (nor its shareholders) upon the transfer of assets and liabilities; as a result, capital gains tax does not apply. Since the transferee's tax basis in the assets and liabilities does not receive a step-up in basis upon demerger, a carryover basis results. In addition, the transferee shares received by the transferor's shareholders are not treated as a deemed dividend. Existing rules limit the ways that a demerger occurring between group companies can be considered a qualified demerger. In cases of demergers occurring between sister companies, the benefits for a qualified demerger are granted only when it is expected that there is (i) a continuation of the relationship between the transferor and the parent company of the transferor after the demerger and (ii) a continuation of the relationship between the transferee and the parent company of the transferee (as well as of the transferor) after the demerger. The new legislation relaxes requirement (i) above so that after the transfer, it is no longer a requirement to continue the relationship between the transferor and its parent after demerger. Thus, a demerger meeting the ownership requirements immediately before the demerger (but not following the demerger) will also qualify for tax-free treatment. Companies commonly use spinoff transactions to dispose of a business. Under current law, however, a spinoff may not satisfy all of the necessary requirements for classification as a qualified demerger. The new legislation extends tax-free treatment to two types of spinoff transactions: (i) a spinoff of a business division where a company puts a business segment into a separate company and distributes its shares to the shareholders of the company and (ii) a spinoff of an existing subsidiary by a company so that the subsidiary is owned directly by the company's shareholders. These types of spinoffs qualify for tax-free treatment only if certain conditions are met. Comments The proposed changes aim to provide more flexibility to companies (especially public companies) that are separating or disposing of non-core or unprofitable business units. Under current law, a company that wishes to remove an unprofitable business unit from its operation through spinoff schemes cannot in most cases fulfil the requirements for tax-free treatment. By expanding tax-free restructuring options to cover certain business unit spinoffs, in contrast, the new rules will likely encourage a greater frequency of such reorganizations. The process will not necessarily be simple. The conditions that have to be met in order to qualify for tax-free spinoffs are not straightforward. In particular, the consideration for the spinoffs cannot involve property other than shares or other equity interests of the transferee; no party can have a majority control over the transferor and the transferee after the spinoff; the principal assets and liabilities of the business would have to be transferred; and the spun-off business is expected to continue. In addition, there is a requirement that at least 80 percent of employees are expected to engage in the spun-off business, and that the directors, key management executives, statutory auditors and accounting advisors are expected to continue holding such management positions after the transfer. A company seeking to determine if a spinoff qualifies for tax-free status would need to evaluate whether these conditions have been met.

Rob Scahill, Matt McBride to join Rockies Wednesday
ATLANTA — The Rockies will add reinforcements for this road trip. Pitcher Rob Scahill, who will be used in a relief role, and utilityman Matt McBride are scheduled to be activated Wednesday against the Braves.
It couldn't hurt. The Rockies are 6-23 over their last 29 games against Atlanta. Scahill struck out 151 batters in Triple-A as starter. He will be used at first in a one-inning stint according to manager Jim Tracy. Scahill is one of the hardest throwers in the Rockies' organization, reaching 97 miles per hour with his fastball.
McBride spent some time with the Rockies this season. He can play right field, first base and catch. McBride was Colorado Springs' best hitter this year, but has struggled to find a spot defensively. Sky Sox manager Stu Cole and hitting instructor Rene Lachemann will join the Rockies as well.
Parker Frazier, who will start Tulsa's first playoff game on Wednesday against Springfield, is another candidate to be called up after the Double-A season. Third baseman Nolan Arenado has finished strong, but is not expected to be added to the 40-man. It's possible Arenado could join team in Denver, however, and work out with the team for a few weeks without being activated. He's expected to compete for the starting third base job next spring.
In other news and notes:
–Cincinnati's Todd Frazier won NL Rookie of the Month honors. Rockies' Wilin Rosario and Adam Ottavino both received votes. Frazier and Arizona starter Wade Miley are leading candidates for NL Rookie of the Year honors. Frazier's August: In 30 contests he collected a rookie-best 25 RBI and 36 hits while leading all N.L. rookies (and ranking second in the majors) with a .330 batting average, .393 on-base percentage and 19 runs scored. Rosario's numbers: (.304, 21 H, 4 2B, 7 HR, 17 RBI, 16 R, .667 SLG, .367 OBP). Rosario, in my opinion, will finish fourth in the NL Rookie of the Year voting behind Miley, Frazier and Bryce Harper. Frazier is making a strong push to win the award over Miley, who was an all-star and has enjoyed a tremendous season.
–Jorge De La Rosa will start for short-season Grand Junction on Wednesday. He's expected to throw 45 pitches. The Rockies would like De La Rosa to make one big league start this season before heading to the instructional league and possibly pitching some winterball in Mexico.
–Eric Young Jr. (oblique) is hopeful that he will be activated during the Rockies' next homestand.
–Michael Cuddyer (oblique) wants to play again this season, but there are no guarantees.
–Troy Tulowitzki will play shortstop in Tulsa on Wednesday (five innings) and Thursday (seven innings) and be available to pinch-hit Thursday. He said that he's running better on his surgically-repaired left groin.

As soon as she took over two years ago as director of the USO in downtown Jacksonville, Deb Fisher said she knew the place was haunted.
As soon as she took over two years ago as director of the USO in downtown Jacksonville, Deb Fisher said she knew the place was haunted.
She now has as close to proof as she�s likely to get thanks to a group of local and celebrity supernatural detectives who investigated the 70-year-old building late Thursday.
SyFy�s �Ghost Hunters� and the Southeast Paranormal Investigative Association spent several hours Thursday night investigating reports of paranormal activity at the Tallman Street structure. The event raised funds to help support military-oriented programs.
Bruce Tango from the long-running cable show and Jessica Dionne from SEPIA took small groups of seekers into the depths of the building to see whether ghosts haunt the place.
The two basement sections were cold and dimly lit with pipes and conduit running overhead and either concrete or dirt floors. The cinder block walls were cut away in spots to reveal duct work and dark spaces.
Participants supposedly felt cobwebs where none existed, a clear indication of paranormal activity, Fisher said.
One teenage girl had a scratch on her neck and Marines said they could hear an old man coughing. Something invisible brushed by members of another group. Different groups experienced the same phenomenon, Fisher said.
Tales often told at the USO include two deaths believed to have led to the haunting of the building.
A World War II veteran who spent his twilight years hanging out at the USO was found dead in the showers in the late 1960s. A retired Korean War veteran who used to joke he would haunt the USO when he died later passed away there in the 1970s.
Strange occurrences have occurred since, Fisher said, adding that some employees refuse to go into the basements and other have actually quit their jobs after being alone in one of the basements.
A preliminary hunt conducted by SEPIA last year left researchers with suspicious audio recordings and the video effects of paranormal movements in five different locations in the building, Dionne said.
Their investigation was cut short last year due to Hurricane Irene and delayed this year by Hurricane Sandy. Last year�s exploration was the first time the 70-year-old building had ever been investigated for ghosts, Dionne said.
�I�m excited over what we found,� said Dionne, who has been challenging her fear and sharpening her perceptiveness since she was a child. She said the paranormal is a passion.
This time around, the Ghost Hunters and SEPIA crews brought voice recorders, cameras and infrared video cameras hooked up to monitors to record the entire event.
The ghost hunters found several hotspots Thursday night, especially a location in the dirt-floor basement, Fisher said.
�I think it�s haunted,� Fisher said, adding that she knew right away because she grew up in a home haunted by ghosts.
