Strategic Realty Holdings CEO and founder Eddie Lorin sums up the frustrations many real estate investors have when they further delve into the nuances of the new federal Opportunity Zone program.

Lorin recalled how, at a recent Opportunity Zones Coalition meeting, a venture capitalist came in, "high-fiving the people in the room and saying, 'This is the greatest thing [to happen] for distressed properties and distressed areas.'"
"And then he left and said, 'Oh, my God, we got more problems,'" Lorin told a crowd of more than 350 at Bisnow's Evolution of LA's Submarkets & The Impact of Opportunity Zones event Tuesday at the JW Marriott in downtown Los Angeles.
The story encapsulated the questions around the Opportunity Zone program, which passed late last year as part of President Donald Trump's Tax Cut and Jobs Act.
The federal program incentivizes real estate investors and developers to bring new investments and businesses into low-income and underserved neighborhoods in exchange for a hefty tax break.
But for all of the excitement, potential possibilities and savings on capital gains with this new federal program, there are just as many questions, and just as much confusion and frustration, many panelists said.
"We all heard opportunity zones and went, 'OK, that sounds interesting. More capital and tax breaks that sounds great,'" Sheppard Mullin partner Pam Westhoff said.
But there is a lot of confusion, Mullin said.
"There is so much uncertainty out there," Lorin said.
Kosmont Cos. CEO Larry Kosmont said there is a need for more guidance from the government.
At Tuesday's event speakers discussed Los Angeles' hottest submarkets and the opportunity zones program. Panelists discussed some of the growing submarkets such as Hollywood, Boyle Heights, Los Feliz and Burbank.
The hottest topic at the event, though, was opportunity zones, as attendees sought to learn more about the program.
Since its passage in December, investors and developers have been digging into the program to see how they can take advantage of it. California has 879 designated opportunity zone areas.

But the further these investors dig into the program, the more questions are raised:
California has a 13.3% tax on capital gains. Will California and other states exempt state taxes for opportunity zone investors?
To realize the tax deferral, the program says the investor would have to sell its qualified opportunity fund. If the opportunity fund has 10 properties, does this mean all 10 properties have to be sold at the same time?
Can leasing a building in an opportunity zone be considered an investment?
What happens if you refinance an investment property in an opportunity zone?
What if I own property in an opportunity zone? Can I sell it to an opportunity fund I own and take advantage of the program?
These are just some of the many questions investors have relating to the program, Lorin said.
"There [are] a lot of people who want to get into this game but probably can't," he said, citing the complexities.
The Opportunity Zones Coalition, of which Lorin is a member, is made up of members from 50 or so commercial real estate companies and public agencies nationwide tasked with finding answers to the most pressing questions and navigating through the murkiness of the program, he said.
The group has been actively sending memos to the Department of Treasury and the IRS seeking answers.
"The good news is there's not much regulation," said Lorin, who said a lot of people just want to charge in and learn or fail as they go along. "But anybody who is an adviser, fiduciary or trustee, these kinds of people … you're not going to get people to invest unless there is clarity. So there is the challenge to make sure that [what] this Act is intended for comes into fruition."
Lorin said for all the good this program can do for these low-income areas and their residents, it could also have serious ramifications without clarity.
"This could lead to regentrification and push out the very people the program is intending to help," he said.

People who aren't capable of empathy will definitely not do well on this one. Empathy isn't something you can study or learn -- you're either empathetic or you aren't. Empathetic people have an easier time understanding others and are more willing to help than people who aren't capable of empathy.

Murray downs Ferrer at ATP Tour Finals
Andy Murray (AFP)
Czechs win fourth Fed Cup in five years
SA's Lloyd Harris stumbles in final
Djokovic, Federer make strong starts
London - Andy Murray silenced the critics who claimed he was distracted by dreams of Davis Cup glory as the Scot opened his ATP Tour Finals campaign with a gritty 6-4, 6-4 win over David Ferrer on Monday.
Former Wimbledon champion Murray has made it clear his main priority in the closing weeks of the season is Great Britain's attempt to win the Davis Cup for the first time since 1936 in their first final since 1978.
Britain face Belgium in the final on clay in Ghent next week and Murray had initially suggested he might pull out of the Tour Finals to fine-tune his preparations for the Davis Cup.
After learning of potential sanctions from the ATP if he withdrew, Murray settled for spending most of last week practising his clay-court game across London at Queen's Club before arriving at the O2 on Friday.
It was hardly ideal preparation and inevitably Murray's commitment against Ferrer was under close scrutiny from cynics who doubted whether the world number two really wanted to risk injury with the Davis Cup just around the corner.
But Murray assuaged those worries with a typically whole-hearted 90-minute display to see off Ferrer in his opening group match in the prestigious season-ending event.
While Murray was unable to win a Grand Slam this year, his impressive consistency over the last 11 months has brought him to the verge of finishing second in the year-end world rankings for the first time.
The 28-year-old will now be guaranteed that milestone if he wins one of his remaining two group matches against Rafael Nadal and Stan Wawrinka, who meet later on Monday.
Murray has never been at his best in the Tour Finals, losing all three of his semi-final appearances.
His last visit to the O2 Arena 12 months ago ended with a humiliating 6-0, 6-1 defeat against Roger Federer that equalled the worst loss of his career.
But he was back in the groove against Ferrer, who had to save three break points early in the first set.
Although world number seven Ferrer, 33, has enjoyed another typically efficient campaign, Murray had won six of their last seven meetings, including in the Paris Masters semi-finals two weeks ago.
The two-time Grand Slam champion looked well on course to maintain his mastery of Ferrer when a volley that dipped just inside the baseline brought up two set points in the 10th game.
A Ferrer double fault gift wrapped the set for Murray and the Scot should have felt confident of finishing the job having won all 59 of his matches after taking the first set this year.
Murray briefly lost his focus and surrendered a break in the opening game of the second set.
But he broke back for 3-3 at the end of a 22-shot rally in which even the famously obdurate Ferrer was eventually worn down.
That proved the decisive moment as Murray harried Ferrer into more errors in the 10th game, earning two match points and converting the first with an emphatic smash.

Gaia Online est un site internet communautaire en anglais de style anime. Autrefois nommé "Go-Gaia.com", le site a été changé en "gaiaonline.com" en

Les membres de cette communauté virtuelle, connus sous le nom de "Gaians", créent un avatar personnel et leur propre maison virtuelle et ils peuvent acheter des items (objets virtuels) pour les personnaliser en utilisant l'or, la devise du site. Les membres gagnent de l'or en jouant à des jeux ou en discutant avec d'autres gens dans les forums. En , Gaia a mis en place le Gaia Cash qui peut s'acheter en ligne ou sous forme de cartes en magasins tels que Wal-Mart et Target.

Avatars
Les membres de Gaia Online obtiennent un avatar quand ils s'enregistrent. Les membres ont la possibilité de personnaliser leur avatar de différentes façons, en changeant la couleur de la peau, des cheveux, des yeux, en changeant leur sexe ainsi que les vêtements. D'innombrables items conçus pour les avatars, comme des vêtements, peuvent être achetés avec de l'or ou du Gaia Cash. Les avatars apparaissent à côté des posts et commentaires qui sont faits (le message lui-même est inséré dans une bulle de BD) dans les forums. Il existe aussi des villes que les membres peuvent explorer avec leur avatar et où ils peuvent parler avec d'autres membres.

Économie

Argent
L'or, connu aussi sous le nom de gaia gold, est donné aux utilisateurs après avoir joué à des jeux, posté aux forums, et dans des évents et concours; la page donne aux utilisateurs de l'or et des choses pour personnaliser leur avatar chaque jour au hasard. En , Gaia a publié un autre type d'argent appelé "Gaia Cash" qui peut être acheté dans beaucoup de magasins et même en ligne sur Gaia.

Marché
Il y a un grand marché virtuel appelé "Gaia Market". Ceci est divisé en quatre parties :

 Les magasins : Ceux-ci utilisent de l'or, il y a beaucoup de magasins où les membres peuvent acheter des vêtements pour leur avatar, des choses pour leur maison et même pour leur voiture.
 Le magasin du Gaia Cash : Ici les membres peuvent acheter des choses très rares qui peuvent être utilisées ou même vendues pour un très haut prix de l'or.
 La place du commerce : Ici les membres peuvent avoir jusqu'à 10 choses à la vente dans leur propre magasin. Il y a un petit impôt de 2 % de tout l'or gagné des ventes.
 La banque  : Ici les utilisateurs peuvent commercer leurs objets et or.

Jeu en ligne
Gaia Online comporte un jeu de type MMORPG, baptisé zOMG!. Les avatars peuvent explorer une partie de la planète (la ville de Barton et les régions environnantes ; les villes de Durem, Aekea et l'île de Gambino ne sont pas accessibles). Ils peuvent combattre des créatures baptisées "Animated", qui sont des objets inanimés qui ont pris vie (des nains de jardin, des sacs à main devenus chauve-souris, des vestes devenues loups, etc.), des extra-terrestres, des créatures sauvages ou fantastiques (golem, Lorelei, etc.). Les récompenses sont des Gaia Gold, des ingrédients pouvant servir à réaliser des objets ou des recettes d'alchimie, des recettes pour créer des objets. Les joueurs gagnent surtout des orbs, qui ont l'apparence de sphères violettes, et des anneaux qui, une fois équipés, permettent au joueur d'attaquer, de se défendre, d'affaiblir son ennemi, de développer sa vitesse, etc. Les orbs permettent de monter le niveau des anneaux de 1,0 à 10,0 (la progression se faisant par tranches de 0,1) et donc le niveau du joueur, qui dépend uniquement des anneaux qu'il porte et non de ce qu'il porte (armure, vêtements, etc.).

Dans le dernier niveau créé, appelé Dead Man Shadow, les ennemis (vampires, loups-garous, terreurs nocturnes, etc) donnent des orbs particuliers, de couleur noire, appelés shadow orbs, qui permettent de monter le niveau de ses anneaux de 10,0 à 12,0.

Si zOMG permet d'en apprendre davantage sur le background de Gaia Online (ainsi que la bande dessinée, lisible en ligne), ce jeu ne comporte toutefois pas de mode JcJ.

De plus en  zOMG! a été retiré du site afin de protéger les données des utilisateurs.

HOWEVER, the actual point of this post is to bring you picspam of the absolutely awesome gift I received which came as a total surprise and blew me away. I've been so amazed at the things the Magic U books have inspired readers to do. Deb/Tryslora made all those wonderful icons. Soiled Dove Mercantile sent me that incredible mini-top hat. Now this!
Not to keep you in suspense any longer, but it's three stuffed bears, dressed/costumed as the three main characters in the Magic University books! Kyle, Alex, and Frost!
Large version of the three bears.
Of course, I couldn't do something on my desk without a cat getting involved. Hi Renki.
Here's a closeup that shows some detail on Alex's cargo pants!
Another closeup of the T-shirt! It's so perfect!
Yes, the pockets of the cargo pants are functional! And do you notice the yellow stitching on his boots?
Yellow stitching of course means he's wearing Doc Maartens!
With his jacket open you can see the cute little tie he's wearing, and the buckle on his belt! And the detail on his oxford shirt! Ahh! My oxford shirt fetish!!
Close-up of the crest! So brilliant. Deb asked what the house colors were and what their crest looked like a while back, but I had no idea it was so she could pass on the info to BriAnne, who was feverishly working away on these!
And now, our hero, Kyle Wadsworth, in flannel shirt, with shoulder bag and all.
In case you couldn't see it above, he's got the diamond stud that Caitlyn gives him in book two!
This bag is truly brilliant and inside is also REALLY similar to the one I carry, with the little pockets for pens and such. And what's that sticking out of one of the pen holders?
What else has it got in its pocketses? In the zipper compartment, of course, he has his journal and his Tarot cards!
It just keeps getting more brilliant! Inside the journal is a poem Kyle writes in book two of the series! And yes, Kyle has a Waite deck.
One more shot of the three of them lined up.
Anyway, if it wasn't clear before… these are utterly unbelievably brilliant and now I want to sit here and PLAY WITH THEM.
In fact, what I did once I got to Crema Cafe was sit down to write, and although my plan had been to work on The Prince's Boy, I decided to have the bears do a Tarot reading. What is funny is that in the writing session I did before going to meet up with Rikibeth and BriAnne, i had been wishing I had a set of Tarot cards, because I was thinking I wanted to just see what Kyle would pull. And I didn't want to use the Internet card servers. Now I had not only a set of cards, but Kyle and Alex.
So I put the bears on the laptop, got the little deck out of Kyle's bag, and went to look what order the cards were in. The Ace of Swords wasn't followed by the two, it was followed by the Page of Swords. And then the Page of Pentacles (coins)… I know these little decks usually come in order, not pre-shuffled and BriAnne later told me yes, she put the three cards that represent the three guys first, and shuffled the rest.
He pulled the Hierophant, which is, basically, the Master of All Magic. Whoa. I pulled two more for him to see what else… and got the Nine of Cups, which usually stands for artistic and creative satisfaction (or possibly sexual), and the Three of Coins, which again is the artist gaining mastery of craft. Wow. So Kyle's poetry is absolutely great.
To which Kyle-in-my-head asked, but what about love? I ended up writing a scene with the reading in it, and as for the question of love, well, that is what the whole book is going to be about now, isn't it?
And I wondered where you got the tiny buckle!
crazy cute! I'm playing with them now! Kyle is trying on Alex's Docs.
Eee! Adorable! And such detail! I remember you commenting after that query about crests and house colors, just so we'd all be on the same page. The tarot deck is a brilliant detail.
That is truly a labor of love. What a wonderful gift! You deserve it.
Thank you! They make me very happy!

The Man Who Came to Dinner is presented through special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service.
Sheridan Whiteside, having dined at the home of the Stanleys, slips on their doorstep, breaking his hip. A tumultuous six weeks of confinement follow. The Stanley living room is monopolized by the irascible invalid; ex-convicts are invited to meals; and transatlantic calls bring a $784 phone bill. The arrival of strange gifts from his friends further destroys domestic tranquility. It would take a stoical housewife to harbor penguins in her library, an octopus in her cellar, and 10,000 cockroaches in her kitchen. When Maggie, his secretary, falls in love with the reporter, Bert Jefferson, Whiteside summons a glamorous actress, Lorraine, to win the affections of the young man. Knowing the girl's charms, Maggie enlists the aid of a clever impersonator who, affecting the voice of Lord Bottomley, whom the actress hopes to marry, asks her by phone to return to him and be married. The ruse almost works, but Whiteside, becoming suspicious, finds that no calls have come through from London. In revenge, Lorraine suggests a three-week rewrite on a play of Bert's in which she feigns great interest. Lake Placid is to furnish the quiet for his inspiration, and she is to be his collaborator. The unexpected arrival of a mummy case, just as the relenting Whiteside is frantically seeking to get rid of Lorraine, furnishes a malicious idea. Tricking her into stepping into the case, he shuts the lid and blackmails his host into having the case carried to the airport, preparatory to a round-the-world cruise. Whiteside departs from the Stanley's home triumphantly, but a second later a crash is heard—he has again slipped and fallen!


We are happy to work with trusted introducers. We have experience of working with other IFAs, accountants, solicitors and professional introducers.
This can be in complex pension areas such as final salary transfers, or be relatively straightforward advice. We are happy to discuss our terms with you.
We are fully qualified and authorised to review the client's situation and provide pension advice. Using our Trusted Introducers scheme, we are able to support financial advisers who are not able to provide pension transfer advice.
One of our advisers will speak to the introduced client about their situation and their existing schemes and we will let them know if theirs is the type of case that we are able to review.

BOISE – Former state Sen. Curt McKenzie, who drew 46 percent of the vote but lost to Robyn Brody in the last election for an open Idaho Supreme Court seat, has withdrawn his name from consideration for the next opening, to replace retiring Justice Daniel Eismann.
"I want to focus on my firm and get that taken care of and paid off," said McKenzie, who reported nearly $75,000 in outstanding campaign debt at the close of 2016.
With McKenzie's withdrawal, there still are more than a dozen hopefuls who will be interviewed next week by the Idaho Judicial Council for the Supreme Court justice position. They include six sitting district judges, one Idaho Court of Appeals judge, and six attorneys from around the state.
The interviews, which will take place in the Idaho Supreme Court's courtroom Tuesday and Wednesday, are open to the public.
Among the 13 applicants, two are from North Idaho: St. Maries attorney Andrew Doman and 2nd District Judge John Stegner of Moscow.
Court of Appeals Judge Sergio Gutierrez, who will be interviewed on Tuesday, also ran against McKenzie and Brody for the open seat in 2016, but placed third in a four-way primary. That led to a runoff in November in which Brody defeated McKenzie. Gutierrez, who was Idaho's first Latino judge, ran on a platform of improving court access for all Idahoans.
The other applicants who are sitting judges are 5th District Judge Richard Bevan of Twin Falls; 7th District Judge Gregory Moeller of Rexburg; 7th District Judge Joel Tingey of Idaho Falls; 3rd District Judge Susan Wiebe of Fruitland; and 4th District Judge Jason Scott of Boise.
The lawyer applicants, in addition to Doman, are David Hamilton of Twin Falls; Steven Price, general counsel for the Ada County Highway District in Garden City; Rebecca Rainey of Boise; Jeffrey Thomson of Boise; and Wade Woodard of Boise, who made the short list for a 4th District judgeship in April but wasn't the final pick.
Eismann announced in April that he'd retire in August after serving on the high court since 2001. His six-year term expires at the end of 2018. The new justice who is selected to replace him will take office in August, and then be up for election for a full six-year term, starting Jan. 1, 2019, in the May 2018 primary election. If no candidate gets more than 50 percent of the vote in the primary, the position would go to a runoff in the November 2018 general election.
The high court opening initially drew 15 applicants, but another applicant, Boise attorney Michelle Points, current president of the Idaho State Bar, withdrew her name from consideration two weeks ago, before the interviews were scheduled.
Qualifications to be an Idaho Supreme Court justice include being at least 30 years old; having lived in Idaho continuously for at least two years; being a citizen and registered voter; having been in good standing as a member of the Idaho State Bar for at least two years; and having held a license to practice law or a judicial office for at least 10 years.
Each applicant is scheduled for a 30-minute public interview by the Idaho Judicial Council. In addition, the council will review results of a survey of Idaho attorneys and the public about the candidates' qualifications, and conduct its own detailed background checks. The council will recommend a short list of finalists to Gov. Butch Otter; he'll make the appointment from among those finalists.

I spend my working life floating between the worlds of Skatepark Design and Building Design.
Over the years the ratios ebb and flow, and it may seem like an odd combination to some, but it's what I've been doing for over twenty years and I love it.
QUALITY SERVICE IS IMPORTANT TO ME AND IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF WHAT I DO. I WILL ALWAYS KEEP YOU INFORMED, UP-TO-DATE AND GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE ENTIRE PROCESS, FROM CONCEPT TO CONSTRUCTION.
Darren White is the principal of Baseplate and has been involved in the skateboarding community for over twenty years, as both a skateboarder and skatepark designer. From a young age, Darren informally designed and created skate ramps and proceeded to build upon this basic level in later years.
From 1994 -1997, Darren helped design, build and manage Victoria's only indoor skate facility, The Shed, in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs. His length of service with The Shed required Darren to liaise with local councils, user groups, landscape architects and skateboard associations to assist in the creation of a diverse range of skateparks. As a result, Darren established a widespread network of clients, users, designers and builders.
The need to produce plans (to build ramps at The Shed) led Darren towards a Diploma of Building Design and Drafting, which he completed in 1999. He became a fully qualified Building Designer and Registered Building Practitioner working on new homes, extensions, renovations, unit developments, warehouse conversions and commercial / industrial buildings with Village Drafting & Design and Bill Jacobs Building Design.
My commitment to providing quality drafting services and an enthusiastic approach to each design is evidenced by the fact that much of my work arises from referrals made by former clients.
We were really impressed with baseplate. Darren enabled us to have a significant input into the design of the house but also steered us right on design and practical issues when required (and was patient when we changed our mind!).
WE ARE EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THE OUTPUT AND HE STAYED INTERESTED IN THE PROJECT EVEN AFTER HIS WORK WAS COMPLETE.
All the practical parts of the job (council, etc) happened quickly with minimum fuss. I would strongly recommend using Darren.


Sail Mhor is the final termination of the An Teallach range, a blunt final upthrust which plunges with steep crags on its northern side down to Little Loch Broom. Its position ensures that it is a sensational viewpoint.
Initially steep path, then boggy ground by the burn. Dry standstone ridges above.
Layby on A832 short distance west of the falls. Open start point in Google Maps for directions.
There is parking in a layby beside the waterworks building a short distance west of the road bridge over the Ardessie Burn. Return along the verge of the road to cross the bridge, with a good view of the lower waterfalls. A short distance beyond turn right, climbing steeply on a rough path. The path - which is soon clear to follow - follows the east side of the burn uphill. (In spate conditions it may be better to instead climb the hillside west of the burn from the parking area to avoid having to cross higher up).
The path is rough and boggy in places but offers some good views of the series of falls and cascades as the burn flows down the mountainside. It climbs over moorland where the burn flows through a gorge before continuing up into the large open corrie above. From here the path becomes indistinct at times and the going can be very boggy as the walk continues upstream.
The quickest route to Sail Mhor involves crossing the burn near a confluence at NH045875; this can be tricky as the water can be deep and the boulders are covered with moss. Our route saves this shortcut for the return and instead continues upstream to another confluence at NH042868 before crossing and aiming WSW gently uphill to the wide and featureless bealach south of Ruigh Meallain.
Climb up the ridge to Ruigh Meallain, soon gaining dry ground scattered with sculpted sandstone outcrops. The views are superb, with the An Teallach range to the southeast, whilst south and southwest a range of lochs and lochans form a foreground to Beinn Dearg Mhor and Beinn Dearg Bheag in the Fisherfield Forest.
Continue easily down the north side to a bealach and then on up the steepening sandstone ridge towards Sail Mhor. The climb never becomes difficult, with a faint path to guide the way. Look out for the hairy wild goats that frequent this area.
There are two cairns atop Sail Mhor, the first being perhaps the highest but the second being larger and giving the best views. These are sensational, with the steepness of the slopes to the north giving great depth over Little Loch Broom to the Summer Isles and Coigach.
The return can be made shorter by heading east from the bealach to descend and eventually cross the Allt Airdeasaidh to rejoin the outward route.

UC San Francisco and the University of Nebraska Medical are creating a new web-based model of dementia care.
It will provide around the clock consultations for patients and their families, online education and, for a subset of patients, remote monitoring with smart phones and home sensors.
This is exciting and important news that is beging triggered by a $10 million grant from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Innovation. If this takes off nationally and worldwide it is just what caregivers need. Most importantly, it could help cut down caregiver depression which is currently estimated as high as 60 percent.
Each patient will have a navigator, who will check in by telephone or with a personal visit, as well as by monitoring communication with patients and their families through an Internet dashboard.
Navigators will be people without a formal medical degree and will be supervised closely by nurses, social workers and pharmacists with expertise in dementia care.
The navigators will triage calls, making sure that patients see nurses and doctors when necessary and helping with other things that don't require medical expertise, such as a hazardous situation in the home that could cause the patient to fall.
Patients and their families will be able to get training online to help make financial plans and work through tough medical decisions before their loved ones have reached a crisis stage.
Researchers hope to create a virtual care system that is supportive enough to protect the mental and physical health of caregivers, who tend to neglect their own needs.
Nearly 60 percent of caregivers say the work was highly stressful and more than a third reported symptoms of depression.
Some patients in the study will have an added level of technology-based care. They will use smart phones and electronic wristbands to record their activity levels, count the number of steps they take and measure how far they range from home.
Initial projections are that the improved caregiver support, more continuous access to medical help and medication management will reduce emergency room visits by a half, cut hospitalizations by almost a third and delay the move into a nursing home for six months.
Researchers said that once families have easy access to educational resources, office visits will become less pressured and patients and their families will be able to take more time to absorb information and make important decisions.
"The idea of 24/7 telephone access to clinicians with expertise in dementia has really resonated with caregivers," said Jennifer Merrilees, RN, PhD.

I'm not walking for my mother.
In 2015 I ran the LA Marathon to raise money in honor of my mom, Molly Gray. At the time she was fighting her battle with Alzheimer's (a battle no one wins) and in my heart I was running for her. Many dear friends donated, and we raised a lot of money for the cause.
This year I'm doing the Walk4Alz vs. running a marathon due to a knee injury, but the big change isn't my mode, it's my motive: I'm not walking for my mother; I'm walking for you. Because if you have a loved one with Alzheimer's in the greater LA area, you need the information, resources and support that only Alzheimer's Greater Los Angeles can provide. And if your life hasn't been affected by Alzheimer's there is a very good chance that it will be - with a new case diagnosed every 66 seconds the chances. I'm raising money so that if this terrible disease touches your life in the future, you'll be able to rely on this incredible organization the way our family did. They were there for us, every step of the way.
So join our team and make a donation, spread the word and by all means come walk with us in Century City on Sunday, November 6, 2016.

Miller James Huggins (March 27, 1878 – September 25, 1929) was an American professional baseball player and manager. Huggins played second base for the Cincinnati Reds (1904–1909) and St. Louis Cardinals (1910–1916). He managed the Cardinals (1913–1917) and New York Yankees (1918–1929), including the Murderers' Row teams of the 1920s that won six American League (AL) pennants and three World Series championships.

Huggins was born in Cincinnati. He received a degree in law from the University of Cincinnati, where he was also captain on the baseball team. Rather than serve as a lawyer, Huggins chose to pursue a professional baseball career. He played semi-professional and minor league baseball from 1898 through 1903, at which time he signed with the Reds.

As a player, Huggins was adept at getting on base. He was also an excellent fielding second baseman, earning the nicknames "Rabbit", "Little Everywhere", and "Mighty Mite" for his defensive prowess and was later considered an intelligent manager who understood the fundamentals of the game. Despite fielding successful teams for the Yankees in the 1920s, he continued to make personnel changes in order to maintain his teams' superiority in the AL. He was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee in 1964.

Early life
Huggins was born on March 27, 1878, in Cincinnati, where his father, an Englishman, worked as a grocer. His mother was a native of Cincinnati. He had two brothers and one sister.

Huggins attended Woodward High School, Walnut Hills High School, and later the University of Cincinnati, where he studied law and played college baseball for the Cincinnati Bearcats baseball team. A shortstop, he was named team captain of the Bearcats in 1900. Seeing him consumed with baseball, his law professors summoned him to justify why they should keep him in the law program.

Huggins' father, a devout Methodist, objected to his son playing baseball on Sundays. But Huggins played semi-professional baseball in 1898 for the Cincinnati Shamrocks, a team organized by Julius Fleischmann, where he played under the pseudonym "Proctor" due to his father's opposition and his amateur status. In 1900, he played for Fleischmann's semiprofessional team based in the Catskill Mountains, the Mountain Tourists, leading the team with a .400 batting average.

After receiving his law degree from Cincinnati, Huggins realized that he could make even more money playing baseball, and as such William Howard Taft, one of Huggins' law professors, advised him to play baseball. He was admitted to the bar, but never practiced law.

Professional career

Early playing career (1899–1903)
Huggins began his playing career in minor league baseball with the Mansfield Haymakers of the Class B Interstate League in 1899. He continued his minor league apprenticeship with the St. Paul Saints of the American Association from 1901 through 1903. After starting his career as an exclusively right-handed hitter, he began to bat from the left side in 1902 in response to his offensive struggles in the 1901 season while also moving to second base during his time at St. Paul.

Huggins handled 19 fielding chances, 11 putouts and nine assists, without committing an error in a game with the Saints in 1902; the previous Major League Baseball (MLB) record being 18, set by Fred Dunlap in 1882. In 1903, he pulled off the first delayed steal in recorded baseball history.

Cincinnati Reds (1904–1909)
Fleischmann, part-owner of the Cincinnati Reds of the National League (NL), kept an eye on Huggins while he played for St. Paul. The Reds duly purchased his contract from the Saints before the 1904 season. He made his MLB debut on April 15, 1904, and proved very adept at getting on base. He batted .264 with the Reds that season and improved in the 1906 season, finishing with a .292 batting average and 41 stolen bases, while spending considerable time developing his upper-body strength.

Although Huggins hoped to be selected as Ned Hanlon's successor as Cincinnati's manager after the 1907 season, the Reds instead went with John Ganzel. In 1908, he played with the Reds in the Cuban-American Major League Clubs Series. Hampered by a broken ankle and torn ligaments in his shoulder, he slumped to .209 in 1909.

St. Louis Cardinals (1910–1917)
Before the 1910 season, the Reds traded Huggins, along with Frank Corridon and Rebel Oakes, to the St. Louis Cardinals in return for Fred Beebe and Alan Storke. He set an MLB record on June 1, 1910 with six plate appearances but no at bats, with four walks and two sacrifice flies. In the same year, he batted .265 for the Cardinals and led the NL in walks.

On July 13, 1911, he tied the NL record for successful fielding chances in a game with 16. At the end of the season, he finished sixth in the voting for the Chalmers Award for Most Valuable Player. In 1912, he hit over .300 for the first time in his career. Huggins became player-manager for the Cardinals after the 1912 season, succeeding Roger Bresnahan. Team owner Helene Hathaway Britton preferred Huggins' "gentlemanly" manner over Bresnahan's rougher personality.

With the acquisition of speed in a trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates, including Dots Miller, Art Butler, Cozy Dolan and Chief Wilson, the Cardinals contended for the NL pennant in 1914. Finishing in third place, it was the Cardinals' best finish since 1876, but they fell back to sixth in 1915 and last in 1916. When Britton sold the team after that season, she offered Huggins a chance to buy a part of the team. While he was attempting to raise money from the Fleischmann family, Britton sold the team to a group headed by Samuel Breadon, who hired Branch Rickey to run the team's day-to-day operations in the front office.

Huggins had coached the young Rogers Hornsby, helping him to correct his batting stance, and Hornsby duly succeeded him as the team's starting second baseman in 1917 as Huggins ended his playing career. He managed the team during 1917, the last year of his contract, but was not retained.

New York Yankees (1918–1929)
With the New York Yankees of the American League (AL) not performing well, Yankees owners Jacob Ruppert and Tillinghast L'Hommedieu Huston sought to replace "Wild" Bill Donovan as manager. Ban Johnson, AL president, suggested Huggins to Ruppert as a replacement for Donovan. Huston, who had been in Europe at the time that Ruppert had made the appointment, disliked Huggins and wanted to hire Wilbert Robinson, his drinking buddy. Ruppert himself had been put off by Huggins' wool cap and practice of smoking pipes in public, which he felt was the mark of the working class. However, Ruppert interviewed Huggins upon Johnson's recommendation, and agreed that Huggins knew much about baseball. Ruppert offered the job to Huggins, who initially did not want to take the position, as the Yankees were in no better a position than the Cardinals. J. G. Taylor Spink of The Sporting News eventually convinced Huggins to accept the offer, and he signed a two-year contract. The hiring of Huggins drove a wedge between the two co-owners that culminated in Huston selling his shares of the team to Ruppert in 1922.

Having taken charge Huggins did not shy away from making personnel changes. Upon taking over the Yankees, he stressed fundamental baseball, drilling the Yankees in the art of the bunt. Huggins also made his first player transaction, acquiring Del Pratt and Eddie Plank from the St. Louis Browns trading Nick Cullop, Joe Gedeon, Fritz Maisel, Les Nunamaker, Urban Shocker and $15,000 ($ in current dollar terms), a move that led to criticism in the press.

In Huggins' first season with the Yankees, the team finished fourth in the AL. After that season, he obtained Ernie Shore, Dutch Leonard and Duffy Lewis from the Boston Red Sox, for Ray Caldwell, Frank Gilhooley, Slim Love, and Roxy Walters. The following year he traded Pratt, Muddy Ruel, Hank Thormahlen and Sammy Vick to the Red Sox for Waite Hoyt, Harry Harper, Mike McNally and Wally Schang. Huggins signed a one-year contract to remain with the Yankees for a reported $12,000.

Huston continually took the side of his players in any argument they had against Huggins, criticizing Huggins in the press when the Yankees lost the pennant in 1920. Meanwhile, Ruppert was at best a lukewarm advocate of Huggins. Babe Ruth resisted Huggins' discipline; he did not respect Huggins due to his small stature, soft-spoken nature, and inability to fight, and Huggins was unable to enforce punishments on Ruth, despite being well educated. The Yankees finished third in the AL in 1919 and 1920. Huggins signed a one-year contract to remain with the team in 1921.

Coming into the 1921 season, Huggins was still experiencing criticism in the press. Hugh Fullerton wrote that "in the past Huggins has not shone as a leader of men". By that season, Huggins developed Aaron Ward, Wally Pipp, and Bob Shawkey. The Yankees won their first AL pennant in 1921, reaching the World Series for the first time in franchise history, silencing his critics in the press. However, they lost the 1921 World Series to the New York Giants. In response, Huggins sought to add more pitching talent.

Before the 1922 season, Huggins acquired Johnny Mitchell from the Vernon Tigers of the Pacific Coast League and traded fan favorite Roger Peckinpaugh along with Rip Collins, Bill Piercy, and Jack Quinn to the Red Sox for Everett Scott, Bullet Joe Bush, and Sad Sam Jones. By this time, Ruppert hired Ed Barrow as the team's business manager, and he aided Huggins in player transactions. The Yankees repeated as AL champions that season, but lost the 1922 World Series, again to the Giants. With the newly gained confidence of his owners, Huggins was retained as manager.

The Yankees won their first World Series in 1923, preventing the Giants from repeating as champions for the third consecutive season. They were unable to retain their title the following season however, finishing second in the AL to the Washington Senators.

Huggins had come to regret his trade of Urban Shocker to the Browns. In St. Louis, the spitballer Shocker had come into his own as a starter, racking up four straight 20-win seasons (1920–23) and leading the American League with 27 wins in 1921 and strikeouts the following year, when he won 24 games. Shocker was reacquired for Bullet Joe Bush, Milt Gaston and Joe Giard in December 1924.

However, through 42 games of the 1925 season, the Yankees struggled, falling to seventh place in the eight-team AL,  games out of first place. Huggins made wholesale changes to the Yankees' lineup, as he replaced Ward at second base with Howard Shanks, catchers Steve O'Neill and Wally Schang with Benny Bengough, and, most notably, Pipp with Lou Gehrig at first base, beginning Gehrig's record consecutive games played streak. Among the team's regulars, only Babe Ruth, Joe Dugan, and Bob Meusel remained in the lineup. However, the team continued to struggle; amid rumors that he might replace Huggins, Ruppert stated that "Miller Huggins will be manager as long as he cares to be". The Yankees fell to seventh place in the AL that season.

With Ruppert's full support, Huggins' duties with the Yankees included keeping Ruth in line. Unafraid of his star player, Huggins and Ruth often clashed. Huggins suspended Ruth indefinitely on August 29, 1925 for "misconduct off the playing field", while also fining him $5,000 ($ in current dollar terms), and as it was an away game in St. Louis, Ruth was ordered to pay his own way back to New York. The actual reason was because he arrived late for batting practice after yet another night out the night before, though it was a culmination of his pranks and insistence of recruiting less able teammates to go clubbing with him, causing them to nurse hangovers. Ruth responded by claiming Ruppert would rescind the fine and suspension, and that he would never play for Huggins again, believing that Ruppert would side with him over Huggins. However, Ruppert insisted that the fine would stand and that Ruth would be suspended for as long as Huggins desired. After apologizing to Huggins and Ruppert, Ruth was reinstated on September 5. Ruth did not challenge Huggins' authority again.

Huggins restructured the team for the 1926 season, giving starting jobs to Mark Koenig and Tony Lazzeri. That season, Huggins won his fourth pennant with the Yankees in 1926, marking the first time that a team won a pennant after finishing seventh the year prior. However, the Yankees lost the 1926 World Series to the Cardinals in seven games.

Winning the pennant once again in the 1927 season, Huggins matched Cap Anson's mark of five pennants in seven seasons. That year, the Yankees benefited from the development of George Pipgras and Wilcy Moore, and set an American League record with 110 regular season victories, winning the AL by 19 games. The Yankees swept the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 1927 World Series. This team became known as Murderers' Row, and is considered the one of the greatest teams in baseball history.

Huggins remained confident in his team's ability to repeat as AL champions in 1928 season. Huggins supplemented his team by acquiring Bill Dickey from the minor leagues. He acquired Stan Coveleski, who was attempting to return to his peak years, but released him in August when the former star continued to struggle. The Yankees reached the 1928 World Series, winning their sixth pennant in eight years, and defeated the Cardinals 4 games to 0. This was the first time a team swept their opponents in consecutive World Series'.

Huggins continued to tinker with his roster during the offseason. He traded Dugan, Mike Gazella, Rosy Ryan and Pat Collins, and acquired Lyn Lary from the Pacific Coast League. He tried Lary at third base and Leo Durocher at shortstop, while he attempted to acquire George Uhle and Ed Morris, but was unsuccessful in both cases. The Yankees fell behind the Philadelphia Athletics in the standings during the 1929 season and as it became clear that the Yankees would not win the AL pennant in 1929, Huggins began consulting with coaches Art Fletcher and Bob Shawkey about the future of the team, including how to replace Bob Meusel in left field. However, by August 1929, Huggins began losing weight and complained of feeling ill.

Death

Huggins fell ill on September 20, 1929, and checked into Saint Vincent's Catholic Medical Center for erysipelas. His condition was complicated by the development of influenza with high fever. The Yankees' club physician, in consultation with other doctors, decided to administer blood transfusions.
But despite their best efforts, Huggins died at the age of 51 on September 25, 1929 of pyaemia. The American League canceled its games for September 27, the day of his funeral, and his viewing at Yankee Stadium drew thousands of tearful fans. A moment of silence was held for Huggins before the start of Game 4 of the 1929 World Series (at Philadelphia's Shibe Park, after which the A's overcame an 8–0 Cubs advantage with 10 runs in the last of the seventh for a spectacular 10–8 come-from-behind victory and a 3–1 Series advantage). He was interred in Spring Grove Cemetery in his native Cincinnati.

The Yankees found it difficult to replace Huggins. Art Fletcher managed the team for its final 11 games of the 1929 season, but he did not want to manage the team full-time. After the season, Ruppert offered the job in turn to Fletcher, Donie Bush and Eddie Collins, all of whom declined. Eventually, "Bob the Gob" Shawkey agreed to serve as the Yankees manager for the 1930 season, leading the team to a third-place finish.

Playing and managing profile
Huggins was listed at  and . His small stature inspired the nicknames "Mighty Mite" and the "Mite Manager". He was also known as "Rabbit" and "Little Everywhere" for his ability to cover ground in the infield. An excellent leadoff batter and defensive second baseman, he ended his playing career with a .265 batting average and .956 fielding percentage. He led the league in walks four times and regularly posted an on-base percentage near .400. He scored 100 or more runs three times and regularly stole 30 or more bases for 324 lifetime steals. On the downside, in 1914 he set the single season caught-stealing record in the National League, when he was thrown out 36 times (as opposed to 32 successful steals).

Huggins finished his managerial career with a 1413–1134 record. His 1413 wins as a manager ranks 23rd all-time (as of the start of the 2012 season). He learned his managerial strategy by observing Hanlon and Bresnahan. His managerial style at first emphasized speed, base-stealing, hit- and-run plays and "slap" (i.e., contact) hitting, but the acquisition of superstar slugger Ruth dictated a change of emphasis towards power and not giving away outs. For the slugging Yankees of the 1920s, he recruited power hitters and consistent (as opposed to brilliant) pitchers.

Managerial record

Legacy
In 1915, umpire and sportswriter Billy Evans, writing about the scarcity of competent second basemen in baseball, listed Huggins, Collins, Pratt, Johnny Evers, and Nap Lajoie as the best in the game. He later wrote that Huggins was "one of the greatest managers I have ever met". Bill James ranked Huggins as the 37th best second baseman of all time in 2001 in his The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract.

The Yankees dedicated a monument to Huggins on May 30, 1932, placing it in front of the flagpole in center field at Yankee Stadium. Huggins was the first Yankees legend granted this honor. Later, posthumous monuments were added there for Lou Gehrig in 1941, and Babe Ruth in 1949. These always remained within the field of play, so long as Yankees Stadium maintain its original commodious outfield dimensions (that reached 461 feet in right center).

Many years later, with the outfield shrunk to barely over 400 feet in a sweeping stadium remodel, the memorials were relocated to a "Monument Park" created behind the centerfield fence, and dedicated in 1976. Since that time, additional monuments have been placed for Mickey Mantle (1996), Joe DiMaggio (1999), and George Steinbrenner (2010), again all posthumous.

The plaque on Huggins' monument describes him as "A splendid character who made priceless contributions to baseball." The Yankees also named a field at Al Lang Stadium, their spring training home in Florida, after Huggins.

Huggins was included on the ballot for the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1937, 1938, 1939, 1942, 1945, 1946, 1948, and 1950, failing to receive the number of votes required for election on those occasions. Named in the Honor Rolls of Baseball in 1946, the Veterans Committee elected Huggins to the Hall of Fame in February 1964, and he was posthumously inducted that summer.

Personal life
Huggins was a private man who kept to himself. He lived in Cincinnati during the winters while playing for the Reds and Cardinals, but began to make St. Petersburg, Florida his winter home while managing the Yankees. Huggins did not marry, and lived with his sister while in Cincinnati.

Huggins invested in real estate holdings in Florida, although he sold them in 1926 (three years before the stock market crash, fortunately for him) as they took too much of his time away from baseball. He enjoyed playing golf and billiards in his spare time.

He was portrayed by Ernie Adams in The Pride of the Yankees, Fred Lightner in The Babe Ruth Story, Bruce Weitz in Babe Ruth, and Joe Ragno in The Babe.

What Are the "New Economies"?
S&P Kensho New Economy Indices
Methodology: How Are the Indices Constructed?
Explore the Indices
Pathbreaking innovations are transforming the global economy, and emerging technologies are reshaping traditional industries and spawning new ones at a staggering rate. They represent the foundation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution: 21st century sectors.
Today, we are at the beginning of a Fourth Industrial Revolution. Developments in genetics, artificial intelligence, robotics, nanotechnology, 3D printing and biotechnology, to name just a few, are all building on and amplifying one another. This will lay the foundation for a revolution more comprehensive and all-encompassing than anything we have ever seen – World Economic Forum (WEF) report [2016]
Rapid developments in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence—together with extreme connectedness and the availability of exponential processing power—have laid the foundation for seismic changes across all facets of our lives. The democratization of infrastructure, whether banking, computing resources, or even power generation, has lowered the barrier to entry across many industries, acting both as a catalyst for innovation and a disruptive force to incumbents.
The S&P Kensho New Economy Indices dynamically capture the companies that are propelling the Fourth Industrial Revolution. The family distinguishes itself by taking a comprehensive and objective view across the many industries that are driving economic growth now, and will be in the future.
Standard industry classification schemes aren't explicitly geared toward capturing the drivers of future economic growth, particularly the interconnectedness and fluidity that are the hallmarks of the new economy. In contrast, the S&P Kensho New Economy Indices not only identify the leading companies in each industry, they also capture the entire ecosystems supporting them, which is essential for fully understanding where the economic impact and benefits lie.

The S&P Kensho New Economy indices are constructed using an entirely systematic, rules-based methodology. Leveraging Kensho's proprietary natural language processing (NLP) platform, millions of pages of regulatory filings and other public information are analyzed to identify the companies involved in each of the new economies. Proprietary algorithms determine the extent to which each company is involved; those companies for which a new economy is a principal component of its business strategy will be overweighted in the index.

Q: Can't draw box when call cv2.rectangle Can't draw box on image after flipping it in opencv.
>>im = cv2.imread('demo.jpg')
>>im = im[:,::-1]
>>drawed_im = cv2.rectangle(im, (10,10), (50,50), (255, 0, 0), thickness=2)
>>TypeError: Layout of the output array img is incompatible with cv::Mat (step[ndims-1] != elemsize or step[1] != elemsize*nchannels)

A: This an odd one that I haven't been able to determine the cause of. I've seen it before with other drawing functions and the solution I have used is to re-cast the image as a numpy array.
import cv2
import numpy as np

im = cv2.imread('demo.jpg')
im = np.array(im[:,::-1]) # cast as array
drawed_im = cv2.rectangle(im, (10,10), (50,50), (255, 0, 0), thickness=2)

Add movement and colour to your garden with this striking kinetic wind sculpture from Primrose. The rotating arms of this spinner have been finished with colourful cup-shaped sails which catch the wind, smoothly and silently spinning for a mesmerising effect. This quirky wind spinner has been hand painted and finished in a range of metallic colours, making it an eye-catching centrepiece to colourful beds and borders. This piece has been designed exclusively for Primrose by our in-house design team and isn't available anywhere else, so you're sure to be the envy of all your friends and neighbours.
"Great would recommend primrose to everyone."


Hi, I am looking for pears on rootstock suitable for espalier, I think quince is the right one.
I have deep, quite heavy clay soil so think quince should manage Ok.
I want to do multiple cordons so don't think dwarfing rootstock will work.
b) where I can get pears on this stock.


Located on Interstate 40, the project consists of eastbound and westbound bridge deck, girder, concrete barrier, partial pier and approach slab replacement. Work on the 3-span, 160' steel girder bridges is being performed while maintaining one lane of traffic in each direction of I-40. Due to the higher elevation the project is built in two construction seasons with a winter shutdown period.
